Church held Youth Fellowship at

In the early d US of Christianity,
serious sinners had to appear before the
Bishop on Ash Wednesday to be sprink-
led with ashes made from palm. During
the chanting of the Seven P%enitential
Psalms they were turned out of church,
and could not re-enter until Holy Thurs
day having performed the required pen
ances and receiving absolution.
We can breathe a sigh of relief such
public penance is not in vogue today,
but the necessity of doing penance is
still with us. Lent is. not an empty for
mality, but an imitation of Christ's 40
days in the desert whereby we must
practice modification. We should not
be led astray by those who say mortifi-
cation is Outmoded or everyone should
be his own guide in this matter. The
Church is our guide in this observance.
The principal way to keep Lent is
to observe the regulations aon fast and
abstinence which are printed else
where in this issue. These bind under
pain of serious sin and may mot be
taken lightly. In addition, we should
take on some personal modification,
such as giving up something we like
but can do without. Finally, Lent
should be a time of positive sanctifica-
ton. That means daily or frequent at
tendance at Mass and Holy Commun-
ion. It means frequent visits to the
Blessed Sacraments and making the
Way of the Cross often Lenten devo-
tons have been arranged in your parish
to help you capture the spirit of the sea-

son, SO make them a must on your
schedule.
Here is something to think about as
we approach the season of Lent:
ut is true that there is no time that
is not replete with divine gifts, and by
Gods grace we may at all times have
access to His mercy. Yet now we
should redoubIe our efforts to make
spiritual progress and to be animated
with special confidence, for the ami
versary day Of our Redemption draws
near. This approaching festival invites
US TO devote ourselves TO every good
work that we may celebrate with purity
Of body and mind fhe incompatible
mystery of our Lords Passion. Of
course our devotion and reverence TO-
wards so great q mystery should be
kept up throughout the whole year; we
should ever appear in the Sight Of God
such as we are bound to be on fhe
SoIemnify Of Easter. But this is an ef-
fort which only few among US have the
courage to sustain. The weakness Of
the flesh induces US TO reIent ovr aus
t~erities; the various occupations Of
everyday, life distract US, and thus even
the v~irtuous find their hearts cIogged
by the dust Of this earth. Hence our
Lord has most p~rovidentialIy given US
these forty days, whose holy exercises
should serve as a remedy TO regain our
purity Of SOUL" +
Those words are most appropriate
today, aren't they? You may be inter-
ested to know they were written bv

Father Edward McCinty

administrator of a high school, grade
school, two cemeteries, and a farm
along with his care OF the church itself.
He founded st. Joseph Cemetery, built
the fine St. Francis gymnasium and
auditorium, and was instrumental with
others of the area in beginning Newark
Catholic High School.
With all this activity Father Me-
Ginty was a real scholar who found
time to read, especially in history and
travel books. He had an above average
knowledge Of art, and had the oppor-
funifies to travel quite a bit. But nome
Of his avocations detracted in n way
from his priestly work. As = matter Of
fact, they helped it. Sometimes he had
a remote or abstract air about him
which made him appear aIoof, but it
was not intentional. He was simply SO
absorbed in planning for his parish, he
could think Of nothing else at that
moment.
We are told that st. Francis de
Sales was a man who had a perfect
combination of inner sancity and out
ward refinement. Those who knew
Father McGinty will acknowledge that
this devoted priest was inspired by his
parish patron and initiated him to a
great degree. The Diocese of Column

qualities in that important part Of life.
He was a priest who always wrote
out his sermons even after years of
preaching. He never stopped doing the

census or making parish calls even
though his health was never good. He
was constantly thinking about his

SECONDARY PREcEPTS
There are also secondary
precepts. The violation Of
these precepts would only

ends of the primary precept.
They do not make them who'll

ample of this would be po-
lygamy. A man who marries
several wives simultaneously
could still have the children
educated; polygamy, however,
would make their proper edu-
cation more difficult but not
impossible. A primary pre-
cept, you see, is not involved;
a secondary precept is.
In marriage, those who
make &c o m a nionship" the
primary purpose of marriage

marriage act. II is a secondary
precept. On. the other hand,
when inteiligently def n

alton or possible procreation

secondary precept such as

Why Doesn't Everybody See
Birth Control Is Wrong?
By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

only Catholics? My re1i-
'gion not only permits the use
Of contraceptives, but often
recommends it,"
Protestant
am happy that | can deny
That Catholics alone oppose
birth control as unnatural.
There are many Protestant
leaders, for instance, who
strongly objected TO birth con-
froI - not only at the recent
Protestant Lambeth Confer
enee. but also on many other
occasions.
In this short column, il will
be difficult TO answer your
question fully. hope you will
not find the answer too short.
IT is vital that you understand
each point that | am going TO
make IN order TO appreciate
the Catholic position.
KINDS OF KNOWLEDGE
There are some hings
which are against nature and
yet they are not Self-evident
to all men. Suicide is an exam
pie of this Ii is not self-evi-
dent TO all because some are
blinded with emotions, pas
sions, ignorance and cannot
see il is completely against
natural law. Another import
ant DISTINCTION is that there is
a theoretical knowledge and a
practical know d ge with
which we deal every day, The
oretical knowledge is not af-
fected by the emotions and
passions as, for instance, that
four and four are eight. 1t
emphasizes sheer rectitude.
In practical knowledge, the
passions play a primary role
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1959-02-06

and the use Of birth control by
some would be an instance.
The emphasis in this latter
knowledge is on the passions
and the will Now there are
some facts which are seIf.evi-
dent TO everybody. Such
again would be that two and
two are four. There are also
some facts which are self-evi.
dent in themselves. such as
the fact that fire burns up.
ward.
There are other facts which
are evident only after wise
men have laboriously thought
il out. The unnaturalness of
contraceptive birth control is
an example of this. | must yet
make two further distinctions
to help you to understand why
Catholics believe that birth
control is unnatural.
There are two categories
Of precepts: one is primary.
Any violation of a primary
precept makes a certain end
impossible to attain. The use
Of c0ntraceptlveS is an exam
pie of this. A primary precept
is forever lmmutable. 1t can
never be changed nor can it
ever be blotted from the uni
yersal conscience of man. The
violation of this precept is
contrary to the very nature of
man.
A further example of this
precept is Ito avoid evil and
do good" Notice that | men
toned universal conscience"
for In particular cases the pas
slons or a lack of information
can so dlstort reason that the
true nature of birth control
can definitely be blotted out.
In the universal sense, how
ever, that can never happen.
Mere numbers obviously do
not determine truth nor logic
