moral test is enough to plunge
this marriage into solitude.
They are, these '1overs'',
united only by flesh, or by a
dream, or by imagination, or
by a fantasy. The language of
this love is "only us" and la
ter it becomes "only me-:
selfish "me".
True love is associated with
suffering. For suffering in
common draws lovers closer
than joy. Suffering ands JOY
are not two %opposites, but
two inseparab!e poles in a
unity called love.
True love passes from body
to soul. from desire to offer
ing-obligation is of the es-
sence. True love goes from H.
fusion to reality, from mirage
TO oasis.
Again and again we insist
true love must be associated
with God. The word always"
SO imprvdentiy used at. the
dawn Of love, ceases TO be a
faIsehood, the eestsey Of the
moment, il God is in that
love. He Is. THE guarantee of
genuine love.
Communities must protect
this love at all costs. We need
more laws to prevent divorce
and to assure successful mar
riages. Unnatural birth con-
troll techniques must be un-
masked as the enemy of true
love.
individuals should not be
allowed to dislocate love or to
sabotage it. To lose the true
concept of love is eventually
to lose God for God is love.

The Yardstick
Should Fund For Republic
Pay Taxes For Its Service?
By Msgr. George C. Higgins

The fund for the Re-
public, a non-profit edu-
cational organization es-
tablished to promote the
principals of Individual
liberty expressed in the Dec
laration of independence and
the Constitution, is currently
under serious attack and in
danger of losing its tax-ex-
smpt status.
A number Of people, inelud-
Ing Of least one influential
member OF the United States
Congress, have charged that
ths Fund Is engaged in props-
Ssnda rather than education.
Others have accused il Of be-
Ing . svbvsrsive organization.
Both groups are demanding
that The Fund be required 70
pay taxes and are sxsrtins

enue Bureau 70 this end.
> I hope that the Internal
Revenue Bureau will steadfast-
ly resist these pressures. To

political expediency would not
only be an injustice TO the
Fund for the Republic but a
serious threat to the cause Of
freedom in the United States.

question, for a year or two ago

that is now being levelled so
fercely against the Fund for

DANGEROUS IMPLICATIONS
1t might be said here that

the United States who do not

Everything this love does
is in segments. Marriage is
decided upon by consulting
the heart or maybe it is the
whims. Reason, religion, ira
dition may not all be involved
as all should be. The greatest
loss in this love is that il is
separating itself from religion.
Like lcarus of Greek my
thology, it tries TO soar too
high on its wings of wax which
are melted in the sun and
then it will also be buried in
the sea. This love can never
replace the sacred.

idolatry involved. The mar

From every point of view, the

he paid tribute to the Now.

said, has "built up the best

Then he recommended that

clared that behind Catholic

He suggested that univer-

One of the sickest
things in American So

Modern life is such
that man cannot respond to

experiences. He is like an
overstuffed stomach which
cannot digest all that it has
consumed.
He can only respond with
fhs faculties in him which are
excited. II may be his stomach
or II may be his brain: IL may
be his Imagination which
runs wild or il may be his
passion which ervpts. He finds
II Very hard TO respond with

Life is a great play in which
he is never fully engaged.
He has an off-and-on part.
He finds it very difficult to
love. Love to him becomes a
phantom which is exterior to
his life. II devours reality.
This concept of love is more
sick than civilization itself.
As a mimic of love, il has
many Of the qualities of love
but lacks one thing; ii does
not really exist.

He emphasized that seven
other areas are "heavy ten

that can spill over and achieve
a great deal of scalding on a

These seven he listed as:
"~Latin-American areas of po-
litical and socio-economic ten
sion; African multi racial
areas, notably Kenya, the SUI
dan, the Rhodesias and the
Union (sic); areas of strife,
particularly the East-West

During a question period
after his address, Father Wei

danger of indifferentism -
the tendency TO regard all re-

Father Weisei asserted, and

In his address, Father Wei

Protestants lost their inviola-

They suddenly discovered
they belonged to one of many
religions in the country and
they had to take their chances
like all Others" he added.
This resulted in efforts to-
ward the revival of Protest
antism which developed into
the ecumenical movement, he
continued. This hope of a unit
ed church, in turn, 'necessar-
lily makes the Protestant look
at Catholicism, and look at it
more alphabetically than he
did in the past, the speaker
maintained.
Catholic friendliness toward
Protestants, Father Weigel
maintained, has been on the
rise since the Church in this
country was "Americanized"
from "a federation of Euro
pean Catholic churches resi-
dent in America"
This process produced a
large organized religious body
that alleviated Catholics fear
of petty prosecutions, dis
