henceforth thou shalt catch men,"
The whole liturgy of Sundays Mass carries out
this theme of the courage that should fill the
hearts of all the faithful, members of the diviney
founded and directed Church, part of the organi-
zation Christ Himself established to enclose men
in the net that shall bring them to eternal happ
ness. The Lord is my Light and my Salvation:
whom shall fear?' the Introit asks in the words
of the Psalmist. Grant us, we beseech Thee. o
Lord, that the course of the world may be directed
for us, and that Thy Church may rejoice in peace"
is the prayer, a reminder that we to be con-
eerned about the conditions that prevail today
but that we are to turn confidently to God for
help and guidance.
Do the trials and hardshps of our daily
life threaten on occasion to weaken conf
dence our faith? Do the assaults of evil, seeming
lily successful at times, raise doubts that Christ
is still with Peters bark, giving His command for
the lowering of the nets? St Paul in the EpiStle
answers that doubt for all time: I'VE know that
all creation groans and travails in pain until now
the sufferings of the present time not
worthy to be compared with the glory TO come
that will be revealed in us :. . creation itself will
be delivered from its slavery to corruption into
the freedom of the glory of the sons of God"

Under His Direction

There is clear symbolic meaning in the
narrative that forms the Gospel of Sundays Mass
the account of the immense catch of fish taken
by Simon Peter and his companions when they
lowered their nets under ChriSt's Instructions
after their efforts throughout the night had been
frutless. The boat was Peters, figure of the
Church which Peter was to head from this boat
the Master had been teaching the crowds the truths
of salvation, just as He continues to teach these
truths through His Church; Peter immediate
ly obedient to His Instructions and the other
fishermen, too, were prompt and willing in join

do so, just Peters successor today and the sue
cessorS of the other Apostles associated with him.

instantly the will of Christ.
They were poor and unlearned fishermen whom
Christ selected to give this demonstration of His
divine power that day nineteen centuries ago on
the Lake Genesereth; even So His representatives
in the direction of His church today are human
beings deriving their authority not from any quail
tiles inherent in themselves, but from Him, the

Priests Seal Has Made Martyrs

the fantaical days of the old APA The then pas
tor Of Evansville, Ind who later died AS Bene-
dictine at St Menard Abbey was accused of
solicitation by fallenaway Catholic who pressed
her charges before highly prejudiced court. The
priest who had been tricked into hearing her Con-
fession sealed his lips and was sentenced to hard
labor at the State Penitentiary-to the joy of
the bigotS 1t was several years later that Mrs.
Polk, wife of the President of the United States,
sailing by steamer down the Ohio with the Pres
dent, passed the penitentiary Fortunately Mrs.
Polk remarked; "0h, there is the prison where
the poor priest is locked up. He was falsely ac-
cused by woman, who died recently. Before
her death she made public denial of her story,
saying that her accusation false" The Pres
ident determined to act He ordered the boat
stopped, then sent word to the prison officials to
set the unjustly accused man free at once.
Any priest. with the help of Gods grace
would do the same these heroes of the seal
we're he caught in similar circumstances. Not that
he would find ii easy to do so. or that he could
laugh at danger and death; martyrdom is not
simple thing in any of its degrees. But this is the
possible price he might have to pay for his priest
hood and for the absolute confidence of his
people 1t is an obligation binding him in
Justice even in the face of fagrant injustice on
the part of Others
So the martyrdoms may 60 on. While the
sacredness of the seal is now protected by law
in all civilized countries, We have no way of
knowing who may have died for it behind the
Iron Curtain or the Bamboo Curtain.

Russia runs no risk in these
invitations, at least in the way
they are usually made. In the
beginning everything is in
formal, and tentative, as in the
case of the bid to the Air Force
officers, At first, they are only
"feelers. They do not come

stationery. Usually there is not
even anything in writing. A

the embassy staff calls on the

not too much importance is to
be attached to this manner Of
approach. Many legitimate and
important diplomatic invita-
tions and conferences origin
ate this way. Nevertheless, they
do make propaganda oppor-

mum of risk.
Despite that the invitations
originate in an informal and
confidential manner, they be-

O. Does st. Paul deny tcom-
en- equality with men? Isn't
that the sense of such teGts as
the one (EphesidnS 5:24) that
speaks OF wiDes being subject
to their husbands?
A. The whole passage shows
clearly the sublime teaching of
st. Paul and of God -
since it is ne word of God
and not just st. Paul - re-
garding marriage. He begins
by saying: BE subject to one
another i'm the fear of Christ
(verse 21) and ends by saying:
However, let each one, of you
also love his wife just as he
loves himself; and let the wife
respect her husband" (verse
33. The difference in the par
ticular gifts and duties of man
and wife do not add up to dis
elimination. Equality under
God does not mean identity.

role in marriage is certainly

There is something compelling about the seal
OF Confession that exercises the imagination Of
most peope-non- catholics included. This is no
doubt the reason many stories have been
woven around the theme. That priest should
keep his lips sealed in the face of suspicion inn
prisonment, and torture, or at the cost of his life
is an inherently dramatic thing.
Actual cases of martyrdOm for the sake of
this sacred trust are fairly common Really they
are often more dramatic than the fictions dra

is intrinsically evil. On page
81, for example, he says that
there is. a natural right not to
join a union. Again, on page 80,
he characterizes the principle
of compulsory unionism as
'totalitarian." Yet he says, on
page &c, that under particu-
lar circumstances, one cannot
prove that per Sc compulsory
unionism is immoral ;" He
adds, in the same contest, that

appendices. All that we pro-
pose to do, therefore, is to sim
gle out what we consider To
be the major weakness of the
book.
The central thesis of the
book is adequately summarized
in the authors own words
page 54): even if one
could prove the moral obli-
cation, under certain circum-
stances, of belonging to a un-
ion, this would not make
'Right-to-Work laws immoral

permit voluntary unionism, can

they do not hinder the fulfill
meni Of that obligation"
Self-coniradietorY
Our chief criticism of the
book is that ii eontradicts it,
self or at least appears to con.
tradict itself, in attempting to
prove this thesis. In our opin.
ion. the difficulty is that the
author never clearly defines
his basic terms and, secondly.
that he tries to prove too
much.

WASHlNGTON-Soviet Rus
sla is as anxious as ever to
have Premier Pikolai A. Bul
ganin and Communist Party
chief Nikita S. Khrushchev in
pited to visit the United States.
This, it is widely believed
here, is one reason why Moscow
invited several top US. Air
Force officers to witness a Red
air show in Russia on June "a.
II was not the only reason, of
course. The invitation is part
of a stepped-up propaganda
campaign which it was known
the Reds would launch this
summer, and Moscow undoubt-
edly expects to garner a lot of
favorable headlines from the
air officers visit, independents
ly of any other consideration.
But ii is known here that
Soviet Russia has been eager,
ever since the Geneva confer
ence, to have Bulgsnin and
Knrushchev visit the United
StAtes. In such an event. the
Red propaganda mills could
really grind. President Eisen-
hover, however, has been cool

He has said more than once
that such a visit would serve
no useful purpose at this time.

spect and good will.
