problems resulting from confusion and weakness
and disregard of Gods sovereignty.
The four marks of the Church were plainly
evident on that first Pentecost. The Apostles
as The Gospel says, were altogether in one
place" one in heart and purpose, striking eV
dence of the unity that characterzes the Church
The second mark holiness, was manifest in the
lives of these men who had been chosen by
Christ, who had sat at His feet while He taught
them His doctrine of holiness. And the Epistle
selection for Sunday gives testimony that the
Church was from the beginning universal and
apostolic, for the Apostles straightway began
TO speak, under the direction of the Holy Spirit
'of the wonderful works of God" and their words
we're heard and understood by men from every

Having Fits
Over Communists

Let's sect would take up most of the space
available 10 as merely to list the public eonfes-
sons OF ex.Communists in America in recent
years. We would begin with Chambers Witness,
the greatest of them all, for spiritual values as
well AZ Its expose of the inner workings OF the
party, reaching its climax in the Hiss trials We
would single out the Budenz story, the Bella Dodd
story. We would have TO list lesser things like
Hicks essay, Whose Revolution which euci-
dates the thinking Of the "intetiectuais' of the
'30s, or Eugene Lyons The Red Decade, a
great piece of reporting by former leftist sym
pathizer.
Did space permit. we would then turn TO
the various hearings of Congressional Commit
tees, too numerous TO mention; though here
we think, we would be inclined TO attach special
Importance to the one which investigated the edu'
eational situation and exposed the plans of the
Communists TO take over the schools of the
United States Nor should we forget to find out
how many hundreds refused 10 testify TO party

Amendment. But let us quote Russian policy
statements.

We have simply taken few minutes off TO see
how quickly and easily one could gather convinc-

Communism and the extent OF its spy network.

ership among the free nations
of the world. BY failing at this
stage to exercise this leadership
vigorously in favor of an ef-
fective international instrument
to outlaw forced labor, we
would be considered by our
allies as defaulting on our OBJ
legations. The spark of hope
among millions of oppressed
people in the Iron Curtain
countries would be dimmed.
Our influence for good in the
world community of nations
would be gravely impaired.
Free peoples in many nations

A brief historical reference
will indicate why this is so.
Since 1949, when the Economic
and Social Council of the Unit
ed Nations with the strong sup
port of the United States re-
euested the ILO to undertake
an investigation of forced labor,
three scholarly, judicious and
well-documented studies have
been published by the UN and
ILO proving the existence of
mass systems of forced labor in
the Communist countries of the
world.
The United States Govern
ment has strongly and right
fully supported these inveStiga-
tons and the publication of
their findings. Free peoples. ey-

Q. What position does the
Church take on a Catholic
family asking a priest to con-
duct funeral services at a fun
erdl home for q non Catholic
member Of that family ftho
belongs to no religious denom-
nation? Is it the decision of
the priest or is it forbidden
entirely?
A. ITO take part in the sery-
ices of any funeral other than
a Catholic funeral a priest
must have the permission of
the Ordinary" These words
from the DEGREES of the Fifth
Synod of the Diocese of CO.
lumbus make clear that the
decision in such eases must
rest with the Bishop. General
ly it would be the pastors de-
cision when it comes to a visit
to the home or to the funeral
parlor, so lonP as his visit and
his prayers for the deceased
are private. Catholic parties To
a mixed marriage would do
well to ask the nom Catholic
partner who has no religious
affiliation j he would like To
have the ministration of the
priest. Often the suggestion
will lead to reception of that
person into the Churc a
special appeal should be made
when there is danger of death.
1t is one of the tragedies of q
mixed" marriage that the Ca
tholic spouse and the Catholic
children must see the non
Catholic spouse excluded from
the beauty and the graces of a
Catholic burial.
q. What are the Roqdtion
Days?
A. They are days of special
petition for favorable weather
for the crops and for the re-
mission OF sins and growth of
grace in us. They occur on the
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day before Ascension Thursday

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON - There is a
renewed and widespread inter
est in preserving the spiritual
principles which underlie the
foundation of our nation.
This is atteStad by two re-
cent developments of more
than passing interest.
One was the passage by the
House of Representatives OF a
bill which would make I'm God
We Trust" our national motto.
The other development is
the extraordinary reaction to
a television program sponsored
by The Christophers which ex-
planned the religious signifl-
cance of the Great Seal of the
United States.
In connection with the bill
to make In God We Trust
the official motto of the Unit
ed States, the House moved
quietly to its passage Because
of the publicity given to pro-
tests made by some people, the
impression was created that
there was a great deal of mail,
maybe the preponderance, in
opposition to the measure. The
office of Rep. Charles E. Ben
net of Florida, who sponsored
the bill, says this was not the
case. The mail was very much
in favor of the measure, de-
spite the fact that generally
speaking people who favor
projects OF this sort overlook
the opportunity TO write to ex-
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1956-05-18

press themselves in behalf of
the subject.
Now the Christophers report
that they find "a genuine dis
position" on the part of the
American people TO do some
thing to protect the truths up
on which our great nation was
founded"
The ChriStophers reveal that
a recent television program
starring Ray Bolger has so far
been shown on only 26 of the
364 TV stations that present
the Christopher program, but
already this limited presenta-
tion" has brought the move
ment "the greatest and most
enthusiastic reactions" in the
programs history.
The reactions clearly were
prompted by the TACT that Mr..
Bolger brought out the relig-
ious significance of the Great
Seal of the United States on
this program.
The seal is found on the
green side" of the dollar bill.
On the right, the American ca
gle dominates the picture, On
the side of the seal shown on
the left there is an unfinished
pyramid surmounted by an eye
within triangle.
The eye above the pyramid,
Mr.. Rolger explained, symbol
izes the eye of God. Ii shows
the importance, he said, OF

Father HeaIey

Q. What is an ercomnlanicd-
ton? Can the Church use tt
for political purposes?
A. A Catholic is excom-
municated because of some un-.
usual and (usually) public sin.
The accommodation in most
cases that we might hear of &c.
g. a Catholic being married
before a non-Catholic minister)
is automatic. 1t does not in
polve any action or declaration
on the part of the Church ex-
cept the statement in her law
that such an action carries
with it communication. The
Catholic who has so defied the
law of God and His Church is
deprived of certain spiritual
benefits, most obvious of which
is the right TO receive Holy
Communion. He cannot as a
rule be restored to the Sacra-
mentS by going to Confession
(aIone), for the situation must
be Strengthened out before the
priest can receive delegation
from the Bishop to absolve the
communicated person. What
political use could be made of
il is hard to see, although at
times in the Middle Ages when
practically everyone was, Cat
least nominally) Catholic, the
communication of a political
leader could make him reform
his life or his policy toward
religion &c. g. Henry IV).
Q. Does restitution apply
only TO articles that are stolen?
A. No. 1t applies to any OBJ
ject which comes into our pos
session or to any object which
has been destroyed without
the. valid transfer of owner
ship to us. IL we have been
guilty of the wrongful taking
of the object or the unjust
damage we must make restitu-
tion in kind to the lawful
owner. If we have done this
injustice with full deliberation
we must not only restore the
object but make compensation
for any fruit or profit the OBJ
ject would have produced and
for any incidental damages
that came from the loss te.g.
a stolen truck might mean the
loss of business, spelling Of
crop etc..

Extraordinary Reaction to
Christophers w Program

OF our country above its ma
terial prosperity. BENJAMIN
Franklin, John Adcms and
Thomas jefferson, who formed
the committee to design the
seal, reported to Congress that
it is 'the Eye of Providence" :"
II also signifies that the eye of
God watches over us and that
we should depend upon Him
for our guidance and strength,
Mr.. Bolger stated.
The pyramid is shown unfin-
ished, Mr. Bolger continued,
because the Founding Fathers
knew this nation would con-
tinue to grow under the watch
full eye of our Heavenly Father.
The words circling the top of
the seal, "Annuit Coeptis," he
explained, mean GOO has fa-
yored our undertakings"
Favorable comment on the
program has come TO The
Christophers from every see
tion of the country, Copies of
the program text have been
asked for by businessmen,
teachers, children and adults of
almost every conceivable field
and background, it is reported.

WoNsIcNoR HIGGINS
Ban Forced Labor

one of the most effective and
highly respected specialized
units of the United Nations.
The logical instrument is IN
HO Convention outlawing fore
ed labor for political and eco
nomic purposes.
Moral Question
A great majority of the II
member countries of the 10 :
have officially indicated sup
port for the formulation and
adoption of an IBO convention
outlawing forced labor for po-
litical or economic purposes.
Many of them probably assum-
ed that in so doing they were
following US. leadership. Is
1t seems certain that con-
vention will be adopted and by
an overwhelming majority. The.
United States will be in most
awkward and embarrassing po-
sition before the world il it is
not in the vanguard of this
movement. Our allies will be
disappointed and bewildered.
They will feel that we have led
them up to the point of action
and then deserted them.
Beyond this, and even more
important, is the moral ques-
tion whether our great free
dom-loving and god-fearing ns,
tion can fail to support all
peaceful means of fighting hui
man slavery wherever it may
exist
This should include the con-
tinued employment of all the
honorable and effective devices
for exposure heretofore used
and now being used. And it
should include support of the
formulation and adoption of an
ILO convention.
The existing program of ex-
posure and condemnation of
forced labor practices could not
possibly be hampered in any
way by the adoption of an 10
convention. On the contrary,
convention would supplement.
buttress, and enhance the eff
fectiveness of the existing pro-
gram.
If Communist countries fall
ed to ratify such a convention,
they would put themselves in
very bad light. II they ratified
the convention and then contin--
ued their forced labor practices,
the IL0 machinery provides for
adequate methods of exposing
their hypocrisy They would
then be in an even worse posi-
tion.
The transcending moral ques-
tion which the United States
must answer is this: How can
America even give the appear
ance or leave the impression OF
being compfacent about the
abominable and sinful use of
forced labor of human beings
anywhere on earth? All human
beings are children of God,
made in His image and like
ness. We cannot as nation in
clear conscience fail to do
everything possible TO help make
them free, to help restore 10
them the human dignity which
God intended them to possess.
! am convinced that an ILO
convention banning forced la
Dor for political or economic
purposes would be helpful to
that end. Consequently, | urge
your Committee to support s.
