Let Us Begin

With all the resources of the liturgy the
Church on the first Sunday of Lent solemnly ex-
horts her children to make this holy season a

portance and value as it affects their souls vel
fare, their outlook on life, their thoughts and
actions their relations with their neighbors The
grace of God is about TO be poured out in special
measure, and in the words of ST. Paul the
Church exclaims: "We entreat you not to receive
the grace of God in vain . Behold, now is the
acceptable time; behold now is the day Of sal
walton,
II is to be time of prayer, and she gives us
Gods promise TO man through the mouth of the
Psalmist He shall cry to Me, and ] will hear

My Name II is to be a time Of sclf-denial
and other forms of penance, and she offers
the supplication: "Oh God, Who purifiest Thy
Church by the yearly observance of Lent, grant
to Thy family that what we endeavor to obtain
from Thee by abstinence we may secure by good
words through our Lord Jesus Christ"
And the gospel selection for Sunday, the
account of the tempting of Christ by the devil,
is of special significance to us as an introduc
tion to Lent II tells how He had been fasting

II is certainly an extraordinary thing, one
day to be soemnly discussed by historians, how
some people in the US have ever been condl-
toned 10 look with distrust or even, at times,
hatred on the business world. But many actually
do so.
The ncongruous fact is that most of us are
business men. This is true equally whether we
be employers or employees, for in either case
our welfare depends on the success of the over
all business ventures of the US Approximately
IS cents OF every dollar of sales by manufac-
turers 90 for salaries and wages The Bureau OF
Economic Research of the University Of Notre
Dame estimates that 80 per cent of all wages
and salaries nearly 20 per cent of dividends and
interest and SO per cent of income from rents
were paid to those earning under $4,000 year.
So you see we are all in this together.
II seems to us that there is no need to apol-
ogize for our economic system even though plnko
professors and propagandists have acquired the
habit of sneering al most things American.

Responsible Individuals Needed

II is fact that our shores were first settled
at cost of considerable hardship by men who
wanted to be left alone: To follow the dictates of
their own conscience, to practice their own re-
ligion, to make their own way in the world, and
to pass on precious heritage to their childrens
children.
This political creed does not, even for an in
slant, imply that one can do what one wants in
the United States. Liberty is not license. We
have gone long way toward repudiating the
abuses of 19th-century capitalism. The American
way must always be built on strict self-discipline.
If we surrender our personal moral responsible
ity the State will assume it. Nor are we talking
about legitimate rights and duties of the State
to preserve order or to coerce the laggard and
the law-yiolator
We are saffirmng merely that the individual
must recognize his own responsibilitlt before
il is too late, or some form of tyrannicat gov
ernment will relieve him OF them, and make him
a mere puppet.

forty days and forty nights, preparing for His
mission on earth: it is in commemoration and
partial imitation of this Divine example that
we are called upon to put stern restraint on
our appetites during the same period of time.
The tremendous importance of Christ's
coming among men as their Redeemer is indi.
Gated by this presumptuous assault of the forces
of hell proving, if proof were needed, that
through His sacrifice mans salvation from etern-
al death was TO be made possible. BY his rebuffs
to the insinuations of Satan, and by His invoca
tion OF the Word of God in reply TO the allure
ments which the evil one proposed Christ gave
model Of how we are TO meet the temptations
with which the same evil one confronts us. Ger
tainly we should not be frightened or discouraged
when temptations assail us, for if Satan would
dare to tempt the Son of God how can we expect
to escape having his snares set for us?
On the profound meaning of this revelation
of the power of God as sufficient to overcome
the power of evil we may we'll mediate at the
beginning of Lent, and, inspired by the lesson
set before US undertake with confidence and
resolution the observance of the holy season
in way that will bring us the fullest JOY when
the Resurrection dawn appears

Q. What are some of the
reasons for communication?
Is one accommodated iohen
he denies his religion
A. Many of the reasons for
which a person can be eXcom-
municated are unusual. There
are a number reserved TO the
Holy Father e.g. anyone who
deliberately profanes the Sac
red Species (the Blessed Sac
ramenD, who is an apostate or
hereto, who publishes or reads
by apostates or hereucs which
attack the Faith. who joins the
Masonic or similar organization
or engages in duel. There are
several conditions required in
cluding an external act com
pleted deliberately and invoN-
ing a mortal sin. If a person
is unaware of the excommunl-
cation through no fault of his
own he does not incur II
where the law states that per-
son who presumes' is excom-
municated, but generally speak
ing ignorance of the law is no
excuse. Recommendations re-
served to the Bishop are: mar
riage before a non-Catholic min
lister, agreeing to educate chill
dren outside the Church or
having them baptized by a min
lister, procuring an abortion,
etc. In most dioceses of the
United States any Catholic who

@. Was anything like holy
pdter used in the Old Testd-
nent?
A. The sacramentals belong
to the New Testament, of
course, but there were many
things used as spiritual symbols
in the Old Testament. The bap-
tisms OF st. John the Baptist
used water as symbol OF
cleansing the soul but merely
foreshadowed the Sacrament
and the sacramental use of
holy water. God commanded
Moses to take the Levites out
OF the midst Of the children OF
Israel. According to this rite:
Let them be sprinkled with the
water of publication" Nunir
bers 8:7.

Probably there is enough diff
ference of opinion about him to
make being fan no matter for

more worthy objects of musical

Catholic young people should

into this particular frenzy.
@. Can one hurt The repatd-
ton Of the dead by talking
about some Of the things they
did?
A. Yes. II is sinful TO injure
the reputation of the dead, per
haps even more than the living
for there is scarcely any ex-
cuse for discussing their (false)
or uue) faults or sins. We may
have at least mixed motives in
discussing faults of the living,
we may have at least some hope
of improving them or protect.

may give of them. II there is

Q. II is not the place of
Christian to judge the moral
character of anyone adversely,
Those who deplore the influ-
ence of the young man ordin-
arily do so because OF the ma
ture of his style of singing and
especially his bodily gyra-
tions. Entertainment for a
Christian should be subject to
the Commandments and to the
proper respect for Christian
dignity. Singing or dancing
which is too emotional or un-
restrained in its appeal to the
baser passions is unworthy OF
a Christian. Whether it be a
matter or sin or not is mat
ter for the individual con-
eience. If the public conduct
of Elvis is judged unworthy or
debased by responsible adults
parents, teachers, priests it is

able people is as likely to
cause sin and unhappiness as
the lack of information. Pope
Plus XI wrote in Christian Ed
ucation of Youth 1920 that
il is a grave error to imagine
that purely natural means can
protect youth against the dan
gers of Sensuality. Schools
which do not acknowledge NOR
al principles as valid material
in teaching the facts of life are
as likely to suggest sin as to
eliminate it. Fear of disease
or vague reference to conduct
as mot being done" is scarcely
protection. Pope Plus Xl recon-
mends that parents fulfill this
duty and if they fail that 9TH

The Ymdstick
Who Thinks Social Justice
Is Cure All? Who Knows?
BY Msgr. George G. Higgins
TNMNNNHNWN

The overwhelming majority
would undoubtedly agree with
their principal spoke sman,
AFL-CIO president gorge
Meany, when he says that "the
A, +. of l.. CCIO) is primarily
an economic organization seek
ing its ends in the economic
field" and when he adds, in
the same context, that "collec-
tive bargaining, not govern
ment. must ultimately pro-
vide the necessary protection
against deficiencies of the eco.
nomic system"
Surely, then, if this is the
official philosophy and the ma
iority point of view in the
American labor movement -
and, in our opinion. it def
nitely is-the aforementioned
article in Christian Economics
could not have been directed
at American labor leaders UNI
less, again, the author of the
article is woefully out of touch
with these men and completely
miSinformed about their social
philosophy.
A PuIrlement
But If the article in question
wasn't directed at the Catholic
social action movement or the
American labor movement, is
there any group of people in
the United States for whom II
might have been intended? The
Communists and the Marxist
Socialists and many of the sec
ular liberals?
Yes - but the author OF the
article in Christian Economics
would undoubtedly be the first
to point out that these people
don't believe in social justice
or social charity in the accept
ed meaning of the terms. OBJ
Vlously, therefore. the article
could not have been pointed
al them specifically.
In conclusion, then, we are
back where we started from,
curiously wondering what or
whom the author of the article
in Christian Economics was
driving at. Also. wondering
why in the world he decided
TO publish the article in a fun
damentalist Protestant publica-
tion which regularly promotes
line of thought or point of
view-in the field of theology
as we'll as in the field of social
ethics-which can hardly be
classified as orthodox from the
standpoint of Catholic teach
ing.

The lead article in the Janu'

In the light of previous ar.

inclined to think that he might
have intended TO include in
this category a number of peo-

accounts for the fact that the
so-called Labor priests" and
their associates in the general

ance to the organization Of

them, also, TO encourage unions
to cooperate in every possible
way with comparable organiza-

of the common good or the gen

only conclude that the writer
OF the article is woefully mis-
informed about their approach
to the problem of social recon

The question, then, recurs:

Maybe so. but again on second
thought that seems almost as
impossible and improbable AS
our first tentative conjecture.
Tiny Minority
Frankly, we don't know of
anybody who is qualified to de
termlne whether or not the
majority of American labor
leaders recognize the import
ance of the virtue of social
charity. OF this we are certain
however. that of all the ma.
tional labor leaders we have

have met and conversed with
most of them over the past l.
