They Followed Him

OF great historical importance and interest to
the Christian, Is The account in Sundays Gospel of
the on Lake Genesareth when four fisher
men, Peter, Andrew, James and John called by
the Savior to follow" Him, accepted the call and
became His first disciples. He illuminated His sum
mons 10 them with a miracle draft Of fishes so
great that their boat nearly sank with the weight
Of them, and He made it plain that He performed
the miracle to symbolic what TO be their work
in His service DO not be afraid" He said; hence
forth thou shalt catch men"
They had been toiling all night and had taken
nothing, then the Savior came and preached from
the deck Of Peters boat TO the crowd standing
on the shore, il was after that and under His in.
struciion that the net let down for the catch
that 80 asounded them. Peters bark was the scene
ni the miracle Peter was chosen by the Master as
the leader OF this symbolic undertaking: and
throughout the centuries since then Peters bark
has been guided by Him in the task Of catching
men" and bringing them to the way Of salvation
The Church today is still the bark of Peter: the
Savlors words are still spoken from H. so that all
men may hear them. Dreadful storms have beaten
against that bark all down the years just as they
are beating against il today, but in vain; human
wisdom may feel that the bark faces impossible
odds in IFS struggle against hatred and indifference
but human wisdom does not determine its course.
The Lord Is the protector Of my life; Of whom
shall ! be afraid" Is The challenging question the
psslmist asked long ago speaking for the Church
and Inc most humble OF its members.

Sunday Shopping

(MonSignor Higgins has as guest
coluRniSt this week the Editor OF
WORK.
A prominent Illinois legislator
recently expressed surprise at
what he called the sudden in
terest' of Catholics in trying to
stop Sunday shopping. The legis-
lator was both right and wrong.
II is true that many Catholics
have been forgetful about Sancti-
fying Sunday - by conducting
their business as usual on the
Lords Day. But American biSh-
ops have continuously over the
years tried to remind all citizens
to keep holy the Sabbath day.
AS Early as '93
The efforts of the Church, and
the failure of many Catholics TO
follow the Church, is recounted
in new publication, Don't
Shop on Sunday" ave Maria
Press, Notre Dame, Ind) It's au-
thor is Bob Senser, national fig
ure in the campaign for the sane
tification of Sunday, who points
out that as early as 1893 Cardinal
Gibbons had warned Americans
about their tendency to desecrate
the Sabbath.
At that time men and women
had to work so or 20 hours
week. often on Sundays. If these
encroachments Ton the Lords
Day. are not checked" the Cardi-
nal said, "the day may come
when the religious quiet now
happily reigning in our well-or-
dered cities will be changed into
noise and turbulence; when the
sound of the churchbell will be
drowned by the echo of the ham,
mer and the dray !"
Today, Mr.. SenSer notes, IN
the age of the 40-hour week, the
Sunday bells compete with the
power saw in the basement and
the ring of the cash register in
the super-market.
Severest Indictment
Many Catholics do not realize
that Sunday shopping encourages
others 10 do servile work which
is not in keeping with the spirit
of Sunday. This problem was
dramatized in Denver billboard
signs, sponsored by two unions
affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The billboards
showed a lonesome little girl ap-
pealing: please let my daddy
stay home with me on Sunday.
Let him go TO church with me.
Don't bny meat or groceries in
Sunday stores, cause maybe then
my daddy will have to work on
Sunday too"
Here is. perhaps. the seyerest

WASHfNCTON LETTER

WASHINGTON -- II has been
said on behalf of the us. State
Department that ii intends TO ad-
here to a strict policy of non
Intervention in the struggle be-
tween the Church and the Peron
regime in Argentina.
1t was stated that, since so far
no property or citizen of this
country is involved, there was
no reason for the department to
depart from its usual hands-off
attitude towards the internal af-
fairs of other countries. II was
added that this country had main
tanned the same attitude with re-
gard to the conflicts between
the Catholic Church and the
communist regimes in eastern
European countries.
II could we'll be argued, of
course, that the United States did
not observe a complete handS-oft
policy so far as Yugoslavia is con-
cerned. The lavish gifts of funds
and goods from this country un-
doubtedly contributed towards
keeping Marshal Tito in power as
the Red dictator of Yugoslavia.
To say that this aid kept snoth-
er, and Moscow-type, communist
from coming to power does not
alter the fact.
But that is not the point here.
The mention of us. financial i'm
terests in connection with the
Argentine crisis recalls reports
from other parts of Latin Amer
lea which say the Peron regime

Father He0ley.

Q. Does d persons financial
position haze anything to do
NTH his chances of getting a
favorable decision IN marriage
case? haze friend who bitter.
IN claims that 1t does
A. Every Catholic should be
politely skeptieal when people
talk, about marriage cases, The
priests who work to help people
with their marriage problems
are always anxious to solve the
problem. When they give an un-
favorable decision it is given with
reluctance. Money has nothing to
do with the decision. 0verwhelm-
ing statistical evidence proves
that. To take just one instance;
the Sacred Roman Rota, which
might be called the Supreme
Court of the Church, handled 184
cases in recent year. Favorable
decisions were given for SO of
them, and nearly half of these
were accompanied by no offering
at all. While the court expects
those who are able to help bear
the cost of the court which is set
up to HELP THEM, inability to
make such an offering in no way
prejudices the decision of the
Church courts.
Q. Are there any exceptions
10 the Church ldW against cre-
nation? Is there possibility
this laV may be changed TO con-
form TO thiS modern custom?
A. The only exception is that
of general epidemic conditions
of such kind as to make burial
practically impossible. Various
DEGREES, dating from 1886 forbid
cremation and exclude Catholics
who choose that means of disso-
luton from Christian burial and
from the Last Sacraments. The
DEGREES clearly state that ere
nation is not contrary to divine
or natural law but that it has
been associated with pagan ideas
and is usually promoted with the
intention of denying the resur-
rection of the body. From ear
liest times the Catholic Church
adopted the Jewish custom of
burial as most fitting for prop
er respect for the body as the
temple of the Holy Ghost. Tertul-
lian (early 3rd century, de-
nounced "the cruel and atrocious
custom of cremation" It would
be possible for the Church to
change in this matter, but it is
not likely.
Q. Is there a st. Sarah? Saint
Kenneth2
A. Sara is Biblical name
(from the Hebrew for princeSS)
and it was the name of the wife

as hermit on the banks of the

shopping on Sunday does not
faint her observance of Sunday.
But the fact is that her buying
does help disrupt the Sunday of
other families.
This was recognized by Arch
bishop John Ireland back in the
1905 when he urged upon Cath
olics: 'Let each one of us OBJ
serve Sunday strictly and do
nothing that lOoltld impose Il bur.
den upon others"
Chain Reaction
Sunday shopping sets off a
chain reaction which leads to
COMMUNICATIVE desecration OF
Sunday. Every dollar that a Sun
day shopper puts into furni.
ture dealers till is that much
more temptation for other
store-owners to open their stores.
And once they open their doors,
they naturally must attract busi-
ness and use all kinds of per-
suasive advertising, oral and Wis.
ual, to make their new venture
success.
So, then, radio and television
get busy with commercials to
teach young and old alike new
habit; taking the whole family to
the auto salesroom to pick out a
new car on Sunday afternoon.
Last Easter Sunday, in a large
Midwestern city, radio listeners
and televiSion viewers were be-
Sieged with appeals to leave their
homes and come out to buy au-
tos, furniture and lawnmowers.
The Christian who follows the
third commandment of God cam
not say that such consequences
are no concern of his. The COM
mandment insists on social re-
sponsibility. He must concern
himself not only in following the
Sunday precept himself, but must
also watch how his Sunday ac-
tions affect his children, his em-
ployees, and even "the stranger
that is within thy gates"
Sanetifying the Week
Mr. SenSer's approach is essen
TALLY positive. In exalting SUM-
day as the Lords day, the day
for worship and rest, he does not
ask that we look on the rest OF
the week as Goddess. He points to
the teaching of the Church that
Sunday is the key to sanctifyinr
both work and the other days of
the week. Sunday stands as the
day of holy celebration for the
sanetification of the six other
days.
The aim is to recapture the
true spirit of the Lords day
which is so we'll expressed in the
psalm that the priest recites in
his Sunday morning office:
This is the day the Lord hath
made. Let us be glad and reioics
therein

ing Article 40.
Article 40 OF the Argentine
Constitution says that oil and
minerals of Argentine are indis-
pensable to the country and in
alienable property of the nation.
With this in force, the Peron re-
gime finds it difficult to close
contracts with foreign oil com
panies.
One also hears from Latin
America that $1,700,000,000 in
money reserves have been eaten
up in ten years, and that there
have been "vandalistic Incl
dents" internal struggles and
acts Of repression affecting the
General Confederation of Labor.
There are other rumors which
one hears, not from Argentina
but from other Latin American
listening posts. 1t is said raw ma
terials are lacking in the land
that Peron dominates; that COM
mercial bankruptcies are increas-
ing; that the production of wheat
is insufficient to bring in ade-
quate foreign currency.
If conditions are anywhere
near as bad as some of these re
ports indicate, Peron could well
be in shaky position entirely
aside from his conflict with the
Church.
If this is so, it is TO be hoped
that American funds-public or
private-will not be dedicated to
his support, and the continuation
of persecution.

Kenneth. whose name is often
spelled Canice. He is the patron
saint of the city of Kilkenny.
He was born in the North of Ire
land and was trained by st, Fin
nian of Clonard. He founded sew
eral monasteries and died to-
ward the end of the sixth century
at the age of eighty-four. His
feast day is October 18th.
@. When the bishop taps q
person on the cheek at Con-
firnldtion aohdt does it signify?
A. It is said to be derived from
the ancient custom of giving the
kiss of peace" and the words,
peace be with you" which he
says would seem to confirm that
explanation. 1t is generally i'm
terpreted now as a reminder Of
the suffering which the Chris
tian should be ready to endure
for the Faith. The Sacrament OF
Confirmation makes us adults
and we are urged to accept the
full responsibility, including
persecution and death if neces-
sary, of that state in life.

A. There is no particular place

ordinarily it would be advisable
to seek advice from someone

keeping you from serious sin, II
Is necessary, however, to confess
