Archbishop Alter said there
is almost complete failure TO
understand the Catholic posi-
ton on the meaning of "the
Church" He said that to those
outside, the Church sis moth
ing more than a voluntary or
ganization of those who be-
lieve in Christ" but empha-
sized that the Church "can
never be indifferent toward
religious error, nor counte.
nance any deviation in the
deposit of Faith"
Unfortunately, howe err,
some of our fellow citizens
jump to a wrong conclusion"
the Archbishop continued.
"Since we hold an inflexible
position in doctrine, they
think we would be equally in
transigent in respect to civic
and political tolerance and
would, if circumstances per-
mitted, impose our religious
beliefs on others.
This is both illogical and
false. We r~epUdiafe any such
conclusion and we reject ah.

Archbishop Alter expressed
regret that freedom of edu-
cation does not enjoy equal
status with freedom of speech
and freedom Of assembly,; and
we regret that freedom of ed
ucation is not recognized with
the same liberality in our ma
tional policy as it is in other
democratic countries"
"We reasonably con t e d
that where the burden of
school taxation is universally
imposed, there should be a
universal application Of the
principle of distributive JUS
tice," Archbishop Alter said.
"We as Catholics are not
opposed to public schools. We
endorse the principles of uni
versal and free education. We
regret the absence of relig-
ious instruction, but are con-
scious Of the difficulties in
volyed. If there were no pub
lie schools, we would have to
help in creating them; not
that we would need them, but
others would. We do ask one
thing, namely, that freedom
of religion in education be not
penalized by being forced to
bear a double burden of tax
alton, and that social or aux
iliary services be not denied
our children simply because
they do not attend tax-sup-
ported schools"

have no desire to dominate
public life in our own self
interest, but that our sole pur-
pose is to share the blessings
of a Christian culture and civ

"The cold war which ensued
has divided the world into
two opposing camps. The is
sues at stake are nothing less
than the survival or death of
Christian civilization" Arch
bishop Alter declared.

the laity assumes the major
responsibility of interpreting
the Church and its teaching.
He added: Nothing will be
gained if they allow them
selves to become engaged in
angry denunciation of their
opponents, for the task is one
of persistently, patiently and
calmly explaining the position
of the Church"

The Mass was offered by
Archbishop Joseph E. Ritter
of st. Louis, host to the con-

packed to overflowing. Many
of the more than 35 arch
bishops and bishops here for
the five-day sessions were

The Cincinnati prelate dis
cussed tensions faced by the
Church today on the national
and international scene, par
ticularly in the areas of social
life, religious tolerance, edu.
cation, state and church re-
lationships and censorship.
At the outset, Archbishop
Alter recalled that the meow
was organized So years ago at
"a time when we were still
suffering from the aftermath
Of the first World War" 1t
was a time, he recounted,
when Europe's overwhelming
problems were hunger, sick
ness and poverty, and when

threats of communism, fas-
cism and nazism. After World

THE cold war which en-

to two opposing camps. The

less than the survival or

clared.

In tribute to the Meow,
Archbishop Alter said that in
SO years it has grown into
"the largest single organiza-

has reached out, Eat least in
some measure, to the entire

Newman Club Convention

John Henry Newman was a man
devoted to higher learning as his life
and works testify, particularly his Idea
of a University" But he was. more
than that. He was a fearless champion,
of truth and opposed all who would
distort it.
When Pope Leo XIII created him
a Cardinal the great convert stated
that he had been a lifelong enemy Of
the doctrine that there is no truth in
religion, but that n creed is as good
as another" and that Christianity is
"but. a sentiment and a taste, not an
objective fact, not miraculous"
Who could better serve as inspira-
ton for the Catholic student in a non
Catholic college? The first Newman
Club was founded in 1893 to carry out
this purpose:
ITO provide through a balanced pro-
gram Of religious, intellectual and
social activities, necessary elements

Labor Day 1858

This past year has been another
crucial one for the American labor
movement with the continuation Of
the Senate Investigations. But most
Of those in the labor movement are
men and women Of good will who
will continue to strive for Justice and
charity. In fhis task they will need
the help Of all Of US, management
and the general public as well. What
affects the working man affects the
entire country. No one is an isolated
unit of society.
Labor Day was inaugurated by the
Knights of Labor in 1882 to honor the
working man..
This first Monday in September
is not only a holiday but a religious
feast day, so we should pray with the
priest in the Mass of st. Joseph the
Workman:
May the gifts which we offer Thee,
O Lord, from the labor Of our hands
be for US, through the infereession
Of St. Joseph, a pledge Of unity and
peace. Amen."-GAF.

Some have the mistaken idea that
work is a penalty of original sin, but
sach is not the case. 1t would have
been less difficult were it not for sin,
but work has always intended to be
a sacred and creative activity of man.
kind. 1t is part of human life not mere
ly to earn a living but to employ our
God-given talents and to manifest His
glory.
To safeguard this divinely CON
ceived character the Church has always
been interested in the lot of the work
ing man. Here in the United States
organized labor has made unimagined
progress and this is due to a real de-
gree to the principals set down in
encyclicals of Leo XIII and Plus XI
and the efforts of dedicated priests
and Catholic laymen. 1t is a glorious
record from Cardinal Gibbons and
his defense of the Knights of
Labor down to the precent contribu.
tons of the National Catholic Welfare
Conference.

Inquiry Corner
Can Trinity
Be Proved?
by FIR. HeaIey

@. Can everything in the
Catholic Faith be proved? Can
we lead . person to believe
in The Real Presence Of Christ
or TO the Trinity or the change
that fakes place in Baptism?
A. Everything in the Catho-
lie Faith is reasonable. Super.
natural and invisible reality
cannot be proved in the sense
that we can prove a mathe-
NAUTICAL or chemical formula.
We can show in the case of
the Eucharist, for example,
that Christ taught the Real
Presence tJohn 6:22-70; Mark
14:22-27 etc.) and that His
words were so understood by
the early Christians-by prac-
tically all Christians until
1917 AID. We can show from
the same historical record that
Christ worked many miracles,
raising the dead to life, ETC.,
proving that He was the Son
of God. This is a question of
historical fact and if a man is
reasonable he can see that IF
Christ is God land the EVIL
dence is there to show that He
isl His statement about the
Real Presence must be true.
We can apply same reasoning
to the Holy Trinity which is
clearly taught by Christ Him
self (e.g. Matthew 28:16-2W
as is the absolutely necessary
change effected by Baptism
John 3:1-22). Even the proof
we give by developing these
arguments, however, does not
dissolve the greet mysteries
involved. The virtue and the
divine gift of FAITH is need
ed to make a man accept with
out reservation all that God
teaches and to accept it as
taught by His divinely consti-
tuted guide, the Catholic
Church. Discussion, explana-
ton and proof can lead a man
to the threshold Of the Church
