Making Marriage Click
Kissing A Sin? Depends On
You And The Situation
BY Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

When asking a group of teen
ayers whether or not il is a sin
TO kiss on date, they often re-
ply with loud moan: Father,
why do you think we 90 on a
date?"
Many youngsters now are
making fine mot refinedD dis
tinctions when asking about the
morality OF a kiss. They classi-
fy their kisses into various cate
gories: the peck kiss, the tooth
crusher, the TRANSMISSION, and so
on. The most telling answer to
the question, whether or not
kiss is wrong" the one person
they cannot fool is themselves.
Dynamite
There is that perennial type
who say kissing does not affect
them. One wonders then why
does he kiss! OF course IL is
possible that those long kisses
will not effect him; he could be
sick, or he could have ice wa.
ter in his veins, or maybe he
has q doorknob for heart. But
of this we can be certain, where
a person is normal, passionate
kissing before marriage is an
occasion of sin and therefore,
with certain conditions, il is a
sin, Passionate kissing is a
preparation for the marriage
act and unless one has right
to his act, he and she absolutely
have no right to a passionate
kiss.
II may seem so innocent
this little, passionate goodnight
kiss - as innocent as lighting
a fuse to a distant keg of dyna-
mite. The Church is not just

sted with radio active Fall
out" Here again his arguments
are being brought once more TO
mind, by warnings and protests
emanating from numerous di.
verse sources.
His concern for the threat
posed by nuclear weapons has
also led Mr. Murray TO advocate
greatly increased efforts TO de-
velop peaceful uses of atomic
energy, particularly atomic
electric power He has repeat
edly warned that our present
programs for the development
of industrial atomic power are
not adequate and that steps to
accelerate its development are
urgently needed. Earlier this
year, in testimony before Con.
gress, he again proposed meas
ures designed to rectify the
deficiencies in our present pro-
gram.
One of the most recent ut.
ferances Of His Holiness Pope
Plus XII on this topic has been
an urging that scientists of all
nations expend their efforts to
put nveIear energy to work in
the service of men, instead OF
engaging in this exhsustins
and costly race TO DEATH" This
appeal was contained in mes
sage which the Holy Father
gave TO Jspan's Minister Mat
svshifa, who called upon the
Ponfiff in the interests of linn
ting the dangers OF nuelesr
tests and warfare.
The Pope's latest remarks re-
call to mind that there has long
been one in this country who
has given serious and expert
thought TO these problems, Mr..
Murray is that one.

WASHINGTON - Moral is
sues involved in the use of
nuclear weapons are being
brought prominently to public
attention here.
Significant in this regard is
the imminent expiration of the
term of Thomas Z. Murray as
a member of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission. For years Mr..
Murray has insisted on raising
the moral issues associated with
the use of nuclear weapons.
Members of Congress have
taken the unusual and perhaps
unprecedented course of recon-
mending to President Eisen-
hover that he be reappointed.
Ten members, Senators and
Representatives, of the 18-mem-
ber Joint Senate and House)
Committee on Atomic Energy
have joined in this recommen-
dation. Mr.. Murray, himself,
has let it be known that he
would like to be reappointed.
Mr.. Murray received the
Laetare Medal of the University
of Notre Dame in 1852 for his
distinguished accomplishments.
He received the 1856 Peace
Award of the Catholic Associa-
tion for International Peace.
But praise for his works has
come from a great variety of
sources, non-Catholic and non
religious, as we'll as Catholic.
The CAIP citation in 1856 said
he has consistently pointed
out that the use of force in
warfare is subject to the moral
law, that the dictates of con-
science call for rational limits
on the size and number Of
nuclear weapons.
An interesting fact Is that

For the time being he obviously
has his fingers crossed.
Let the Record Speak
Several other commentators
and politicians are reported to
have echoed the Moley-Howard
point of view with regard to the
Board and its personnel. While
il strikes us as being a rather
cynical point of view, there is
no reason TO take it too serious
ly or to get all hot and bothered
about it.
The present writer is perfect
ly content to lei the record
speak for itself. At the mo-
ment there isn't any record,
for the Board has yet 10 hold
its first meeting and some Of
its members have yet TO lay
eyes on one another for the
first time.
In the meantime, while the
Board is getting organized, il
might be we'll TO outline the
scope of its authority and to in

not segmental, it is personal;
il is not just an episode, il is A
symbol of unity and security; il
is not just a word, il is Ian
guage telling of faithfulness
forever.
Passionate kissing belongs TO
marriage and then il becomes
holy. Then il is real surrender
and the verbs commonly used
to express il are Ito give" and
to take" not 'to lend" and TO
borrow a kiss. Ii was meant to
be not the fleet union of bodies
but the welding Of two com
plete personalities. Roues from
the beginning of recorded his
tory have been restless, unset
tied drifterS. To them and to
those who turn to them for the
caricature of love, the physical
relationship is entirely casual,
the occasion for a brief stimu-
lation that too often leaves be-
hind not even the memory of
a name, face, a personality.
The passionate kiss in its Chris
tian use is the channel and the
means of grace between man
and wife.
Non.passionate kissing be-
tween boy and girl would not
be wrong before marriage il
