The Voters Have Spoken

One of the benefits of the Ameri.
can way of life is freedom of speech
whereby a ma can express himself in
line with his own opinions. The recent
prediction campaigns for candidates
and issues were prime examples of this
freedom.
1t is to be regretted that individuals
on, both sides sometimes stopped to
personalities in upholding opinions and
acted as if opposition were a personal
insult. In retrospect, let us hope this
was brought about by the heat of
battle, not malice.
After all, every American has a
right to express his opinion and the
privilege of voting for what he holds
dear. If his opinion differs from yours,

POPE JOHN XIII

When the apostle Andrew took. his
brother, Simon to meet the Messias,
Jesus said: Thou shalt be called
Cephas (which is interpreted Peter"
Later, after Simon Peter professed
his faith in Christ's divinity, Our Lord
added: Upon this rock | will build
my Church, and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it."
And ! will give to thee the keys of
the kingdom of heaven; and whatever
thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven"
St. Peter carried his divine COM

Ever since the death

II has become a routine
commonplace to say that
he exercised his supreme

tensively, perhaps, than any
Of his predecessors in the

trieal and unified whole.
There is reason to believe,
! think. that when this has
been done, His Holiness
who. in the field of socio-
economic reform, might have
appeared during this life
time to be content to live in
the shadow of Pope Leo XIII
and Pope Plus XI-will be &C
claimed as one of the original
and most influential of all
the s~ocial-minded Popes in
the history of the Church.
Fortunately the work of
synthesizing the social teach
ing of His Holiness had al
ready been started before he
was called so suddenly, but
not altogether Unexpectedly,
to his eternal reward. Just a
few days before his death the
Catholic Social Guild of Eng
land issued a 115-page book
let entitled The Social Teach
in Of Pope Plus XII: 1855
Catholic Social Guild, OK
ford. England, $3.50.
The first in a projected
series Of CSC. Yearbooks on
the social teaching of His
Holiness, it covers only the
year 1856. The 1859 Yearbook
was to have covered the Holy
Fathers social teaching for
the year 1857, etc.
Let Us hope that The death
Of the Holy Father will not
interrupt this series Of publ
cations or bring II sbrvtIy TO
an end.
Rather may it be made
retroactive to include the
earlier years of his pontifi-
cate and may it be speeded to
completion ahead Of schedule
as a fitting tribute to an ex-
tremely important but some
what neglected phase of his
phenomenally extensive apos-
tolate of truth as the supreme
custodian and exponent Of

law.

airy reason it might be accept
able to make this Christian
name the second or middle

for the first one, but it should
not be done merely because

custom calls for naming a
child according to the saints

that is not acceptable there

the teaching into action. His
solicitude for the prosecuted
Jews reminds me of an cpl
sode in the life of st. Bernard.
It is to be found in the an
cient Jewish volume called
The Vale of Tears, written in
the Middle Ages by a Jewish
sage.
He tells how a monk named
Rudolph in Germany enrolled
men for a Crusade to capture
the Holy Places but before
starting off, he began a per-
secution of the Jews.
According to the Jewish ac-
count, the Lord sent st. Ber-
nard of Clairvaux in France
to the prosecutors and the
great saint preached to them
about the Jews: whoever
touches them, it is as if he
touched the pupils of Christ's
eyes, because they are His
flesh and His bones and Ru-
dolf, His disciple, has not
spoken rightly because it is of
them that the Psalm say: Kill
them not, lest my people may
forget them"
The Jewish writer of the an
cient volume says: land the
Crusaders listened to him be-
cause he was venerated among
them. Their anger subsidized
and they abandoned the
thought of the Slaughter"
Pope Plus spoke often to the
Nazis about the persecution of
the Jews but they did not lis.
ten because he was not VEN
Grated among them. But he
did give aid and comfort to
the suffering members of the
race of Christ and His Blessed
Mother. He was the ray of
light in their long, dark night
of Nazism.

q. Why Is there no mention
made Of the Holy Spirit In the
Divine praises said At the close
Of Benedietion?
A. In the history of the
Church Benediction is a rel.
stivsly new devotion, follow
ing upon the feast of Corpus
Christi (13th century,. AS is
stated in "The Externals of the
Catholic Church" the develop
ment varied in different coun-
tries: in England and France
the custom arose of having
evening services in honor Of
the Blessed Virgin; and at
these the Blessed Sacrament
was sometimes exposed on the
altar. II was natural, then. to
give a blessing with the Sac.
red Host for this had been
previously done after the pro-
cessions." In Matters Liturg-
ical" it is further pointed out:
where the custom Of recit-
ing the Divine Praises after
Benediction has been intro
duced -" The Divine Praises
were approved by Pope Plus
VII as an indulgenced devo-
ton in 1901 and probably the
general use of this prayer at
Benediction followed that ap-
proval. The Divine Praises are
primarily directed toward
Christ in the Blessed Sacra-
ment and toward the Blessed
Virgin. Just as the invocation
of Our Lady's Assumption was
added recently so another
invocation in honor Of the

this does not make him ignorant or
untruthful.
But now the election is over. The
voters have spoken and it is the mark
of a good citizen to accept the results
of last Tuesday. This does not mean
we must change our views necessarily
but it does mean that we must cooper
ate with the chosen officials and &C
cede to the voice of the people on the
various issues and levies. If further
changes are in order, they can be pro-
posed by due process.
Legitimate authority has a divine
basis. When WI obey those placed over
us and follow the law of the land,
we are obeying God Himself.-cAF

A. Ordinarily not. If we

ness severe enough to justify
not fulfilling this serious OBJ
legation we commit no sin. It
might be well to mention it,
however, if there is some
doubt about the seriousness of
the illness. Some people are
inclined to interpret illness
too casually and not to excuse
themselves from the import

Mass because of some indis-

of that someone will miss
Mass because of illness and
then attend some social affair

are in need of guidance in

should mention missing Mass

In early childhood every

His fear of error deepens
