WASHINGTON--Mem-

this city's history.
II will see the ceremonial

NEW CHALLENGE

Certainly there is reason to
be proud of the contribution
which Catholic leaders and
writer's have made in the past
decades (and are still making
today to the development of
a sense of social justice in
industrial relations.
But the problems of today's
small world present new chall-
enges to all of us. We cannot
afford to regard foreign aid"
as lust a political problem"
In fact, we must work diligent-
ly to raise it to a much higher
level than that, by applying
to it the principles of social
justice which can best bring
about the achievement of a
true international community.
In the Social Order sympos-
ium, Father Jansen and the
distinguished writer's who
comment on his thesis have
provided a solid background
of knowledge for those who
want to know the real reasons
behind foreign aid.

realize that they are the min
listers at their own wedding.
But to be a minister means to
act in the name of another.
This 'Other" in their case is
God.
1t is not the couple who
actually unite themselves in
Matrimony, but it is God who
unites them and uses their
own will TO do so. Therefore,
from the life of a Religious,
couples also learn that they,
too, have a vocation from God.
The priest, the Brother, the
Sister, must make God the
center of his or her life, too,
or become a freak. A priest
could become so pre-occupied
with Saving souls" that, in
stead of God, souls become the
center of his life. This is un-
likely but it is possible. II was
Karl Marx who insisted that
IMAM is the center of the
universe, that man is the Su-
preme Being"
If a married couple make
man the center of their uni
verse. we will have many more
regrettable marriages like the
recent one of Dennis Crosby,
a Catholic, who married a di-
v0rcee in a Protestant church
in Las Vegas.
Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud
say that virginity and religion
are a distorted eruption of sex,

The meaning of these words

must become a willing tool in

1t is in the light of these facts

several months after the popu-

by Soviet tanks and troops.
Premier Janos Kadar in the Pc
Rod Immediately following the
uprising felt too insecure to re-
new an offensive against the
Church.
On Jan. 81, 1857, the Holy See
issued the decree excommuni-
eating DR.. Horvath and ordering
all other "peace priests" to re-
sign from any ecclesiastical po-
sition given them by the gov

This organization, it was be-

from resuming their subversive
activities. 1t was also hoped that
it might be able to reach an
agreement settling the out
standing differences between
the Church and the Red govern
ment, since the bishops had
shown their willingness to sup
port the regimes struggle for

Such hopes soon proved il

The latter arranged meetings
of Opus Pacis in all the large

that at least one of his agents
was always present to remind
priests of "a true peace parti-

March the situation had reach

siderations of social justice.
Consequently, assistance is
given only grudgingly and
sparingly to countries and
peoples in dire need.
But, says Father Jansen,
"The solidarity of this CON-
munity is the basis of obliga-
tons of international social
justice" And he adds: This
solidarity is the consequence of
the common origin and the
common destiny of all men,
whatever be their race or ma
tionality or fortune"
II should not be particular
1y difficult for Catholics to
grasp the full meaning of
Father Janssen's argument.
The worldwide implications
of social justice have been
clearly spelled out in the writ
ings and addresses of the re-
cent Popes, from Leo XIII
down to our present Holy
Father.
AS recently as April. Pope
Plus XII re-emphasized the OBJ
legations of international So
cial justice in an address to
a group of French government
officials and leaders of AT
rican territories. In his talk,
sthe Holy Father declared:

gifts and treasures of nature

How badly do some married
couples need TO learn the true
place Of sex.
The religious life Is a con-
slant teacher of married COUP

virginity is a sort of hygiene
of the soul, that imagination

That the needs of sex are

That coniugal purity can ex-

have the proper virgin

that virginity is easier when
young, that there is then a
natural modesty. That as a
lady gets older there are par

1t teaches men that chastity

There is some humor
In. the statement of hus-
bands who say they wish
they could give up mar
ried life and return to
military life. Some wives also

greet not joining the convent

No one coming In contact
with a good religious can es-
cape the influence, however
subtfy.
We venture TO say that
many married couples could
not be as holy as they are il
1t were not for the very ex-
istence of nuns. Brothers, and
priests. The aspects of mar
ried holiness are different
from Religious holiness but
the influence of Religious is
there. True, married people
have reasons TO protest when
Religious try to montasticize
married life.
But il is more often true
that because Religious are
willing by their VOW of cell
bacy to give up marital com
partnership completely that
couples are encouraged to per-
form periodic abstinence.
Is it not because of the
religious vow of poverty that
couples often give up worldly
goods and refuse TO surrender
TO the cult of making a living?
Is it not because of the relig-
ious vow of obedience that
couples often accept the will
OF God in the sorrows of FAM

This group was founded in

munists had decided to use
methods more subtle than
open terror TO undermine The
authority Of the Church and
drive wedge between the
faithful and their spiritual
leaders.
This organization of priests
officially sponsored by the gov
eminent and using the motto
working for Peace" sought to
Justify the policies Of the com
munist regime. Using perverted
quotations from Scripture, they
also attempted to prove the
compatibility of communist ide'
ology with the Christian faith.
Apart from these activities,

Church Affairs with detailed in

event or development in the ma

Examination of the archives
of the church affairs office dur
ing the Hungarian revolution of
1856 revealed that the peace
priests" also gathered informa.
ton regarding the political lean
ings and pastoral activities of
every single priest in Hungary.
Thus, a parish priest who had
successfully increased the relig-

denounced - many such de-

church affairs office. This office
then replaced him with another
priest whose moral defects
would quickly undo all the good

For such services as these, DIR,
Horvath and the other leading

salaries from Hungary's Red
government.
One of the first things Cardi,

tries.
CRYING NEED
Father Jansen begins his
article by recalling the chang
es in industrial relations which
gradually developed after the
Industrial Revolution, and
which finally led to an aware
ness of social justice. which,
he says, was the fruit of a
conviction that something
should and could be done to
give every member of the COM
munity the opportunity to
lead a fully human life"
This conviction gave rise to
the development of trade UNI
ions and social legislation, and
thus within such a frame
work industrial relations were
raised from the law of the
jungle to the level of a COM
munity concern"
Today the complicated prob
lens of the international COM
munity weigh upon us all, and
here again the crying need is
for social justice. Father JAMS
sen writes. THE awareness of
relationships of justice govern
ing the international commun-
munity is today as primitive
as was the moral mood of the
10Th century's view of indus.
