There is lot of talk these days about the
human heart. So much So in fact that we can
hear technical words of the medical profession
-coronary thrombosis, angina pectoris, aorta,
ventricle, pulmonary valve-on the lips of the
man in the street and the woman at the bridge
table. Men and women diet, avoid strenuous
activities, have cardiograms taken and go on
vacations to insure the proper care of their
hearts. Scientists are constantly at work trying
TO find new ways of treating heart ailments.
Their success is astounding! The daring accom-
plishments of heart surgery just leave us breath
less All this preoccupation with the human
heart merely reveals the primary importance
of this organ for the physical well-being of man.
More than this, the heart is symbol of the
human personality. If person has good person
: ality we say of him he is "a man of good heart"
We measure the worth OF man not on the basis
of his wealth, appearances, learning industry
but primarily on whether he has good heart.
And what does it mean to have good heart?
Ii means to have a heart filled with love. Thus
the heart is also symbol of love. Now the heart
must be filled not with just any kind of love,
but with love that is sincere selfless and we'll
ordered.
We call the man who gives bogus love, who
toys with others hearts, hard-hearted scound-
rel Likewise we say man has bad heart if
his love is selfish or inordinate; for example, the
married businessman who is in love with his
pretty secretary. More than being necessary
condition for physical health the condition of the
heart is measure of spiritual health as well.
In view of this devotion to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus should have an eminent place in our
lives. The heart of Christ is a perfect human
heart; a human heart indeed, a heart of flesh.
II has the same reactions as ours the same
craving for love, same throb, same surgng of
emotion when love is given, the same pang of
sorrow when love is withheld. But in the Heart

Some good wife was COM
planning: wv enever my
friends meet my husband, |
never see them again!v" That
may be because he reminds
them of sack of ether. It may
be that he is just vegetating.
Some husbands are like old
buses, they just bump along
but have no feeling except for
themselves. A persons social
age is measured first by his
ability to get along with others.
So husbands and wives who do
not get along could be in some
state of infantilism.
When one is a baby, he yells
for what he wants. He learns
to tease, hound, and cajole his
parents into giving him exact
ly what he wants. Then he
grows up and develops skills
In compromising and sharing.
OF course, the latter is the most
difficult and mature way Of get
ting along with others.
Paradox of Human Nature
Even when couples are ma
ture, harmony is not easy. One
of the most basic and bewilder-
ing paradoxes of human nature
Is that the more you love some
one, the more capable you are
of feeling hate for him or her.
II may be occasionally and
briefly, but it is in everyone's
life. This is called ambiva-
lence. The lines from the old
popular song tie neatly into
one small package the whole
principle of a m bival e nee:
Sometimes / love you, some
times ! hate you, but when /
hate you it's cause ! love you"

WASHINGTON - A report
has been received here which
pays an unintended tribute to
the initiative and widespread
influence of the Catholic
press.
The report is an account of a
program on a clandestine CON-
munist radio station that broad
casts regularly in Spanish to
Spain. This particular broadcast
dealt with the extraordinary
interview which Generalissimo
Franco gave the N.C.W.C.
News Service and which has
been widely printed in Catholic
newspapers served by that agen-
cy. The Red Program quoted a
Catholic newspaper in the
United States in referring TO
the interview.
In answering a series of elev-
en- questions for the Catholic
press, Generalissimo Franco
dealt with the com munist
threat today and at one point
spoke of "clandestine radio
programs, calling themselves

Is 1t Difficult To Be
Scientist And Catholic?

ity is clustered religious group
which dedicates itself to pray
er, penance and striving for
union with God. Sometimes
such a community undertakes
apostolic works such as writ
ing, conducting retreats or
production of religious articles
but mainly the life calls for
isolation and separation from
the world. No vocation which
is dedicated to giving God due
reverence and worship can be
considered waste. If we be-
lieve in the all-important place
of divine grace in the works of
the Church we must realize
the necessity of contemplatiye
orders to make reparation and
to beseech God for the graces
needed by apostolic workers.

ample of the effectiveness of.

Q. | hear a lot about the

suddenly pop up after all these
centuries Which t0e didn't eUen
hear about in Catholic school
and ,Uhere does that ledue us

ern :dedS?
A. The doctrine of the Mys-
tical Body is contained in the
doctrine of the Communion of
Saints, in Christ's references
to the True Vine John 15:1-1D
and in many references in st.
Paul Ephesians 4:1-16, / Cor
inthians 12:12-3D. The term
itself is not new but it has
been restored to common use
in our time. Catholics have al
ways been taught the general
idea of union in Christ through
Baptism. AS Pope Plus XII
points out in his magnificent
letter on the Mystical Body
1--WE shall find nothing more
noble, more sublime, or more
divine than the expression
''the Mystical Body of Jesus
Christ" and he states that it is
the "fair flower of the repeated
teaching of the Sacred Scrip
lures and the holy Fathers"

@. Are there any famous
modern scientists aDho l0ere ca
thoticS? Isn't it difficult to be
q real scientist and a deUott
Catholic at the same time?
A. The National Catholic AL
manac (1957) has an alphabet
ical list of famous Catholics,
including a number of great
scientists. Not all great scient-
lists so named were exemplary
Catholics perhaps but their
mum ber certainly indicates
that there is no conflict be-
tween religious belief and
scientific inquiry. There are, of
course, many great scientists
who were believing Christians
as members of various Protest
ant churches or as adherents of
no particular church. Among
the great names: Ampere
OTIS 1886, Roger Bacon
(1214-1294), Beccaria (1716-
1781), Becquerel (1852-1908)
Nobel Prize 1909, Braille
(1809-1852), Carrel (1873-1944)
Nobel Prize 1922, Copernicus
(1473 1543), Coulomb (1736-
1906, going only d wn

A. Practically all national
Catholic publications are recep-
tive to material from a young
writer and will pay according
to the established rate. 1t is
important to read the maya
zine in question in order to
know the kind of material ac-
ceptable e.g. the we ekly
America accepts articles on
family life, education and re-
ligion, ETC., but no fiction. The
National Catholic Almanac has
a list of Catholic publications
with some general rules, ad-
dresses, etc. More and more
Catholic publications are de-
manding literary perfection
and are increasing circulation
and payment to their writer's.
Special training and counsel
ing is therefore an essential
part of any young writer's
hopes to be published.

The clandestine radio station

dio Espagna Independiente)
called attention to this rare In
terview given by Generalissimo
Franco, and, by attempting to

AS a general rule we do not
review current books in The
Yardstick, much as we are
tempted to do so. There is JUS
tification, however, for making
an exception to this rule in
the case of a new book by Fa-
ther Paul Marx, O.S.B., of st.
Johns A bbey, Collegeyille,
Mimi. The book is entitled
"Virgil Michel and the Liturgi-
cal Movement" (The Liturgical
Press. Collegeville, Mimi. $5).
This is substantial and
scholarly work and one which
will interest not only students
Of the liturgy but Catholic So
eial actionists as well. We en-
Enthusiastically recommend IL in
Its entirety, but, for the limit
ed purposes of this column, we
specifically call attention to
chapters 7 and 10 on the re-
lationship between the liturgy
and Catholic social action.
Examination OF Conscience
These two chapters are not
pleasant reading for those of
us who are working full-time
In the field of Catholic social
action, but, SO far as the pres
ent writer is concerned, they
are worth the price of the en-
tire book. They are the equiv
alent Of a good examination of
conscience. They explicitly and
bluntly raise the question as to
whether or not the Catholic So
cial action movement in the
United States has been suffi-
ciently interested in the litur-
Ky and sufficiently conscious of
the Importance of moral and
spiritual reform as opposed to
the reform OF social and eco
nomic institutions.
The late Father Virgil Mi
chel-surely one OF the most
original and most influential
Catholic writer's this country
has ever produced-was inclin-
ed TO answer this question in
the negative. He thought that.
In general, the Catholic social
action movement in the United
States overemphasized purely
natural measures of social re-
form, TO the neglect of the SUI
>pernatural. More specifically,

their propaganda and eonspira-
ey against public order. BY In
citing them TO "rowdy demon
strstions," he stated, the Reds
seek ITO provoke repressivs
measures which can create dis
content"
Spain's workers are also "fer-
tile field for Marxist propaganda,
he said. Despite Red efforts, he
continued, Spanish workers have
shown themselves to be patriotic
and have usually rejected COM
munist propaganda. But when
the workers do 60 out on strikes,
he said, ''the attempt is made to
exploit them to (Spain'S detri-
ment."
"There are some who tear their
hair because the workers are de-
barred by Spanish law from strik-
ing" the Generalissimo stated.
"They assert, without due knowl-
edge of the facts, that this con-
stitutes a tyranny directed against
labor"
"But the Spanish worker" he
answered, ''is not in any way de-
prived of his means of defense. "
CeneraIissino Franco then
outlined the, laws which, hs
claimed, protect the rights OF
workers. He noted that oil
large firms have "ioinf labor
and management committees TO
deal with problems as they
arise" He added that "spe-
eialIy trained workers dele
gates see that social laws and
labor contracts are fulfilled"
Perfect protection" he con-
cluded, "is thus provided for the
worker, who has at his disposal
all the means of defense the most
exacting legal system could de-
mand. In this respect, / venture
to state that Spain is a long way
ahead of other nations and her
legislation meets a demand of the
time. Above all, it conforms with
the soundest principles of Jus.
tice,"
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1957-06-28

in its full perspective and to
be perfectly fair to everybody
concerned. He is not interested
in winning an argument at the
expense of any individual or
organization.
Primary Aposioists
Like his lamented confrere,
Father Virgil Michel, Father
Marx is interested solely in
demonstrating that the liturgi-
cal movement is 'the primary
apostolate," or. to put it an.
other way, that the social ac-
tion movement is doomed to
failure or, at best, to only par
tial success il it neglects or is
separated from the liturgical
movement. ITO mediate Gods
life to man." he writes, $50 as
to make possible a truly Cath
olic social living - that is the
essential function of the liturgy
in a social movement which
calls itself Catholic. In Dom
Virgils opinion, to separate the
social from the liturgical apos-
tolate is to have no apostolate
at all"
While there can be no argu-
memnt about the validity of
this principle, there can be and
undoubtedly will be continu-
ing debate in Catholic circles
as to whether or not the social
action movement in the United
States has neglected the liturgy
or has underemphasized the
supernatural to the extent that
Father Michel and his compe-
tent biographer maintain.
Our own impression is that
Father Michel and Father Marx
have to some extent exagge.
rated the weakness of the So
cial action movement in this
regard and have underempha-
sized the failure of too many
liturgists to relate the liturgy
in a meaningful way to con-
temporary social and economic
problems.
A Good Omen
To some extent, of course,
comparisons of this sort are
rather meaningless, if not
odious, for in this country a
large number of Catholic So
cial actionists have been ac-

In an exclusive interview gwen
to the N.C.W.C. News Service.
The Generalissimo answered IL
questions, five of which were re-
leased last week. In them he dis
cussed the aid given to Spain by
the Church, the Spanish con-
cordat with the Holy See, the
communist menace, the Bishops
recommendations for bettering
the lot of Spanish workers, and
the meaning of recent cabinet
changes.
In the six questions being re-
leased this week Generalissimo
Franco takes up the following:
Student and worker unrest.
Spain's international role.
Spanish social and economic
advances.
Americans in Spain.
Spanish exiles.
Spain's future.
Commenting on us. personnel
in US. projects in Spain, the
Generalissimo said that they have
little influence on Spanish life.
"But what is important in this re-
spect," he added, "is that Span
iards in their dealings with
Americans are learning to appre-
ciate and like them, and that
Americans who come to Spain
end up by liking and esteeming
our country"
This country, he declared, has
made progress in all fields-re-
ligious, cultural, social, industri-
al and agricultural. But these
advances, he continued, can only
be appreciated by those who un-
derstand the causes of Spain's
backwardness. This, he said, was
brought about by "class war and
political party strife"
He pointed out that unity of
faith" is one of the bases on
which Spain will build her flu
ture.
