had a religious significance.
With special Masses, prayers and
other ceremonies, the Church has
blessed and encouraged the eff
forts of those who work with
their hands.
The Church has always had
the interests of the laboTer close
to its heart. 1t is especially fit
ting that this be recognized today
when both have suffered so much
at the hands of communism.
Just how much each has suf-
fered, and still suffers, should be
remembered now when there

WASHINGTON - Observance
of Labor Day this year should
draw attention to a strange at
mosphere that hangs over the
capital and the nation. 1t is the
eager, and so far unwarranted,
assumption on the part of many
that the differences between COM.
munist Russia and the free
world have all been resolved.
Labor Day in the United States
Is the nations tribute to the la
boring man. The worker made
this country what it is. He has
also been in the forefront in re-
cent years in Tending off the eff
forts of those who would subvert
our way of life.
This is a fact which seems not
to be adequately appreciated. IL
is true that communism made a
very strong effort TO penetrate
the ranks of organized labor. IL
probably made no stronger ef-
fort anywhere. 1t is true, too,
that communists infiltrated labor
unions. But they were also in
colleges, in the professions, in
government, in business and ap-
parently in some religious sects.

Here in Turkey | am reminded
more and more of Mexico at the
height of the Revolution. The at
mosphere is strangely similar
and many of the details of life
follow the Mexican pattern.
Major Hurdles
But these are incidentals com
pared with the major hurdles
that the Church must get over.
The first and foremost is proper
ty. In almost every country visit
ed in which our people are
small and often cramped minori-
ty, the matter of acquiring and
holding property is always in the
forefront. In many eases the con-
struction of churches in Turkey
must be on the grounds of for
eign embassies to avoid litiga-
tion.
In some cases, Church prop
erty-Speciflcally the case of the

der one pretense or another.

informed of any number of cases
in which properly acquired lands
and buildings have been confiS-
Gated by an elaborate legal pro-
cess and the Religious ousted.
This matter would require far
more space than that of short
article. II is merely cited as one
of the most yexing and annoy
ing of all the problems with
which the Church is faced here.
Certainly there is no cordiaiity
toward Catholicism, and precious
little toward the Religious and
clergy who are trying to do a job
in the most unbelieyahly diff
cult circumstances.

@. Are Catholics alloioed to
eat gelatin on Friday? bouillon?
grdUg?
A. Catholics abstain from meat
on Friday because of our grea.
reverence for Christ Who suf-
fered and died for us on Friday.
The penance involved in this
abstinence we accept as small
sign of our gratitude. The
Church is more interested in the
spirit of the law than in details,
but since the Church law requir-
ing abstinence from meat is SER
ious law she does make clear
what is forbidden and what is
permitted. All meat and meat
juices or broth are forbidden,
and that would include bouillon
and gravy. Eggs, milk products
and seasoning as well as gelatin
are permitted.
Q. If ION account of drthritis)
it is difficult TO kneel, are ones
prayers as effectiUe If said after
one is IN bed or morning pray
erS SAID IN chair as they tcouid
be IN the recommended kneel-
ing position?
A. Proper position in prayer is
an important part of attention
and devotion, When people
neglect to kneel, to fold their
hands, etc, through laziness or
carelesSness their prayers will
suffer. When someone has rea-
son the cast is altered. 1t is inn
portant TO have a reverent and
attentive position, but it is inn
portant too to avoid distractions.
II we place too much emphasis
on kneeling We may forget that
the essential element of prayer
is the lifting of our minds and
hearts to God We can do that
as we work, as we walk or drive
a car. If circumstance indicate
that lying in bed is more rea-
sOnab1e than kneeling then we
simply determine to pray well
in that position, even though it
may be more difficult to concen-
trate in that position.
Q. | haze n6n-Cathotic
friend lDho would like TO take

What should be my stand on
this and 1Ohy?
A. A Catholic may not attend
services in any non-Catholic
church. The only exception are

tor is being married or buried

changed its spots. The Church is
still prosecuted actively and vic
iou5ly in Soviet Russia and in all
its satellite and feIIow-traveter
countries. Prelates and priests
are still imprisoned; religious
services are obStructed or for
bidden; religious education is
banned.
Labor, too, is still in chains.
Unions, except phony ones own
ed by the Red regimes, are for
hidden. Workmen are regiment
ed. Millions of men are enslav-
ed, with no present hope of de-
liverance.
These are facts which some
would have the American people
overlook, simply because the
present rulers of the Kremlin
smile instead of frown; because
they send us a few farmer-yisit-
ors TO gain helpful information
and let some of our far-advanced
agriculturists visit their land.
Actually, not a thing has been
changed in the Soviet communist
attitude toward man himself,
and his most cherished posses
sion, his religious faith.

iSh churches.
The importance of this grow
ing emphasis on the religious
significance of Labor Day was
brought out very clearly at the
recent national Liturgical Week
in Worcester, Mass. Several Ses-
sions we're devoted specifically
to the relationship between Cath
Ollie social action and the liturgy.
The point was made repeatedly
that neither is complete without
the other, that they are, in the
words of Father Clifford Howell,
81, "the same thing under diff
ferent aspects, namely, the activ-
ity in work and in worship of the
Mystical Body of Christ"
Important Landmark
This point has been discussed
more than once at previous Ma
tional Liturgical Weeks, but new
er in such detail and with such
concerted emphasis as at the
Worcester meeting. For that rea-
son, this conference will go down
in the books as a very important
landmark in the development of
a rounded social apostolate in
the United States.
This apostolate, this organized
effort on the part of Catholics
TO establish social justice and TO
reconstruct the social order, will
never fully succeed by the use
of natural means alone The So
cial problem is basically theo-
logical; ii is rooted ultimately In
human SelfiShneSs or sin.
First of All. Moral and Religious
In the words of the late Cardi-
nal Suhard of Paris, the only
way the social problem can be
solved, the only way the tempor-
al order can be saved, is by con-
version. And the only way to
conversion, the Cardinal adds,
lis the via doloroSa followed by
Christ on the way TO the Cross.
The supreme act of the worlds
salvation, which alone can ac-
compliSh it by transferring the
world, is the Sacrifice of Cal
vary, extended through time as
the Sacrifice of the Mass" "
This doesn't mean that the
Catholic social action movement
can dispense with natural means
Legislation, organization, col
lective bargaining, etc. Nor does
1t mean that Catholic social ac-
tionists may not or should not
cooperate with other social re-
formers who, unfortunately, re-
ject or. underestimate the inn
portance of the supernatural
and place all their hopes in mere

tive part in the services them
, selves. Further, it is not permit
ted to Catholics to attend such
services If one of the parties in
volved in the wedding is a Cath
Ollie or there is some other ele-
ment of scandal involved (e.g. a
diyorcee). While we do not adj
vocate intolerance of non-Cath-
olics we must believe as Catho-
lies that there is only one true
Church and that is the Catholic
Church. We may believe that
they are sincere but we may not
in conscience attend church Serv-
ices which we know are not in
accordance with the will of God.

well as the Mass, the Sacra-
ments and the authority which
belong to it and to no other.
Q. What is the difference be.
tlOeen the JetOiSh, the Protest
ant and the Catholic Bible2
A. The Hebrew Bible contains
only the books of the Old Testa-
ment and generally follows the
Palestinian Text. This text be-
came the accepted Jewish text
some time after the beginning
of Christianity and differs from
the Alexandrian Text (Septua.
ginD which was begun about 280

lows the PaIestinian Text and so
has 80 books in the Old Testa.
ment. 1t has 27 in the New Testa-
ment. The Catholic Bible follows
the Alexandrian with As books
in the Old Testament; it has 27
books in the New Testament,
The most important difference,
however, is the Catholic belief
in the infallibIe Church which
was established by Christ (be-
fore any of the New Testament
was written) and has authority
to interpret the Bible and to
approve or disapprove of edi-
tions and translations. Protest
ant versions are not subject ta
any definite supervision in trans
lation or in Interpretation and
it is for this reason that Catho-
lies may not read the Bible with.
