individuals all over the world who see
in one another the stamp Of divine
dignity. 1t means that all Christians
must start by acknowledging that we
are heirs of the heavenly Father,
brothers of Christ, and temples of the
Holy Ghost.
This realization cannot come to
non-C Christians unless they arrive at
some knowledge of Christ's truth, the
direction of His precepts, and the
strength of His Grace. We Catholics
can bring this about by our prayers
and the support Of the missionary work
of the Church at home and abroad.
AS members of the Mystical Body
we know that the coolie in China, the
bearer in the Belgian Congo, the Mos
lem in Morocco, the Jew in Jerusalem,
the peon in Peru the argiculturist in
Alaska, the merchant in Madrid are
more than just neighbors of ours. They
are our brothers in Christ. But do they
realize that we are their brothers? The
mission Church can contribute to
world unions by bringing about divine
union. If there is a formula for a union
of nations it is: One Lord, One Faith,
One Baptism.-GAF

confronting labor and manage
ment alike in the steel in
dustry.
Some of these problems -
unemployment, for example,
and the impact Of automation
were touched upon briefly
during the course of the con-
vention. But the most serious
of all the industry's many
problems is probably the i'm
minent threat of Soviet con-
troll of the world market in
steel. And this problem wasn't
even alluded to, much less SER
iously discussed at the con-
vention. That was a great pity,
for in comparison with this
threat, the other problems
confronting labor and man.

In my opinion, he would
have been better advised to
say merely that the Soviet
threat is q serious challenge
to labor and management alike
in the American steel industry
and one which they should
jointly try to solve as co-equal
partners in a common enter
prise. To do this, they would
obviously have to go beyond
traditional collective bargain
ing and establish some kind Of
labor-management council in
the steel industry.
But the so-called Industry
Council Plan, it will be argued,
is socialistic. 1t isn't, of course,
but even if it were true, it
would be preferable, ! should
think, to the alternative OF

ed to hit its stride about 1875.
In one of his essays Humph.
rey Johnson noted that il was
about this time that the
French Masons Of the Grand
Orient Rite abolished the re-
quirement Of their constitution
that members must believe in
God and the immortality Of the
soul. From then on, the Ma.
sons went on the war path.
The campaign reached its evl-
mination at the start of this
century when France effected
a total and hostile separation
Of the State from the Church.
II was really a declaration OF
var against all religion.
Typical of the official atti-
tude were the words of Viviani
in the Chamber of Deputies:
"We have extinguished the
lights of heaven and they will
never be lit again" He thought
he was an undertaken burying
the Catholic religion but it
seebs that his particular type
of atheism is buried in France
today. That official, vitriolic
nti-Catholicism is almost as
dead as the Communist party
in DeGaulle's France.
Constitutions have come
and gone in France over the
centuries. We hope this one
will take. There are many pot
entail sources of friction that
might cause trouble, such as
the Moslem rebels and the
'integrationists." leftwing e.

and the Ugh er
like Poujade. But one very
hopeful sign is that the old
wound inflicted by the laiciza-
ton laws has healed. Religious

Gaulle's major problems.

Currently, he pointed out,
the us. would seem to be at

its selling prices to suit its
long-range political purposes.

Why does this world need war and
misery and suffering to bring it to its

Would it not be better if man went

thanked God for peace. Rather than
wait until that peace is shattered and
then ASK for peace?
Perhaps the answer lies in our own

Sum and Substance:
De Caulle's Republic
Is A Secular State
by Fir. John b. Sheerin, esp.

Apparently the word stirred
only q minor tempest when
the text Of the Constitution
first appeared in France. Nat
vraIIy some of the old guard
who remembered the bitter
days OF persecution looked as
kanee at fhe word that seemed
TO embody the spirit Of the
snti-clerieal I~aicizers. From
newspaper reports, however.
il seems that the protest new.
er assumed any great proper
lions.
The French Catholic daily
newspaper La croix advised
its readers to take a look at
the declaration of the French
Cardinals and Archbishops on
November 13, 1945. At that
time France was preparing TO
vote in a referendum on a
new Constitution and the
Hierarchy discussed the mean
ing of laique. They said that if
the word implies that the
State has the right ito rule

dicial, administrative fiscal
and military affairs of a tenn
poral society and speaking
generally in all that comes UNI.
der political and economic
techniques," then the Church
has no objection to the use of
the word in the Constitution.
The La croix writer went on
to quote Pope Plus XII as
saying that "a just and sane
laieife of the State is a prin-
ciple of Catholic teaching.
A DEAD ISSUE
So it seems that another
cycle has closed in France
and that the laicism Of the old
anti-clericals is a dead issue.
In using the term Isiqve they
meant that the State should
fight religion tooth and claw.
The movement had its first

Making Marriage Click
Church Has Best Answer
In Mixed Marriages
BY Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

One emphasis we might add
always help TO make your
Protestant husband realize
that his religion does not iso-
late him from his children.
He, no doubt. feels that he is
making . sacrifice in rearing
his children Catholic for II j,
one Of mans deepest urges TO

If he knows and understands

was required in your mar
riage that the whole Cate
chism be studied before the
wedding: that is a growing re-
quirement thr0 u & h the
country before mixed marriag-
es are performed. II he has
not had the whole Cateehism,
he may still attend group in
structions regularly, with no
obligation, in many parishes.
If that is inconvenient, then
corr spondence courses are
easily taken from the Knights

again II is important that he
get . correct picture Of the
Church. He must never get
distorted pictures. however
xesIous they may be.
/ am thinking OF a Catholic
girl who married a very mis-
informed Protestant. He had
read a book written by a poor
fallen-away priest. He evident
ly gave it to her to read. The
objections brought out were
those the Church had answer.

but in the atmosphere of this

III am married to a
Protestant. The inlaws on
both sides were opposed
to our marriage. Some
even refused to attend
the wedding. They are placing
strong pressure now on my
husband to go back on his
word and not to rear our two
children Catholic. Things are
desperate! What can | do?"
Jane.
Would like TO know, Jane,
what the Protestant in.lsws
would suggest? Do they want
your children to wait until
they are Is and choose their
own religion? " religion were
NOT something vitality inn
portspf then they would be
right. They would not. how
ever, suggest that YOU wait On.

letting them choose their own
language or decide for them
selves whether the world is

ford 70 put off.
Again, do the in-laws want
the boy TO follow his fathers
religion and the girl her
mothers? Then religion be-
comes an accident of sex or a
mere social club, and if we are
not absolutely certain Of it,
then it is no religion. In those
basic years Of a child's life it
would be folly if we failed to
teach HIM how vital a real re-
ligion is.
But again, some non-Cath0-
lies worry that we are taking
advantage of the receptivity
OF a child's mind by being so
certain about our religion. But
Ii what we teach were not
true, no intelligent people
would remain Catholic. But
they do remain Catholic and
there are no policemen in the
Catholic Church. incidentally,
II is like going through a
"Who's Who" just to see the
thousands of learned Ameri-
cans who constantly enter the
Church.

of political dissension within
the union) are of negligible
Importance.
The Soviet threat to the

steel industry can be graphic
ally illustrated by a few COM
parative statistics on plant ca
pacity. 1t is estimated that in
the 1947-49 period, average
annual us. output in steel
was about four times that of
the Soviet Union--83.8 million
tons VS.. 81 million tons. In
1857, our production was only
twice that of the U.S.S.R.-
1927 million VS.. 56.2 million
tons. And while our own
capacity is increasing,
there is reason to fear that
Russia's plant expansion is
going on at even faster pace.
The alarming significance Of
these statistics was recently

Horrible stories were told

GUARD YOUR FAITH
We know of no one single
occasion in the history of the
Catholic Church where any
one has left it for intellectual
reasons and in order to be
holier. | have never once seen
that combination toge tn er.
That was particularly true
about the author of the book

find greater holiness.
II is clear that The Catholic

cient. High schools normally

Faith and II is almost q law.
III one fails to practice the
Faith, she loses IT,"
Therefore, Jane, study and
nurse your own Faith daily
and please live it as some
thing vitality important. You
and your Protestant husband
should agree on certain pray
ers and say them together
with the children. Pray and
sacrifice privately for the con-
version of your husband.
Make close friends and fire.
quently associate with good
Catholic couples. Encourage
your husband to take interest
in hearing the children's Cate
chism and be sure he is pres
ent at their First Commun-
ions. He must always feel that
he belongs to the family.

There is a word in the
new French Constitution
that strikes you like a
thunderbolt the first time
you read it. The article
dealing with Sovereignty says:
"France shall be a Republic,
indivisible, secular daique),
democratic and social"
That word lsique hits you
between the eyes. You begin
to hear echoes of the old war
TO secularize the State and
you wonder if France is start
Ing all over again the anti
clerical campaign that waxed
f~uriously in that country for
almost a century.
II seems, however, that
there is no reason to fear a
revival of the old conflict. In
the first place. DeGaulle is a
devout Catholic and he would
not have countenanced a provi-
sion of the Constitution that
would amount to a declaration
of war on the Church.
To the Frenchman of a CEN
fury ago, the word Isiqve de-
scribed a State that was hos
tile to religion, and most es-
pecially to the Catholic relig-
ion. To the Frenchman of to-
day the word describes a
State that is similar to the
American form of government,
one in which the law will
grant no preferential treat
ment to any one religion.
Among us, the secular gov
eminent plays no favorites
but is certainly not an enemy
of religion. In fact, il has ira
ditionally favored religion in
general without preferring a
specific religion and has gen.
tally cooperated with religion.

such a Church-State arrange
ment in the word laique.
