A few weeks back a national maya.
zine featured an article which stated
control by mar of the earth's weather
and temperature is within the realm OF
practically now
II went on to say that hurricanes,
t~ornadoes, and other severe storms
may be spotted at birth and then dis
sipated by artificial means or diverted
away from populated areas. IT con-
cluded with the statement that the
road to weather control is slow and diff
fievIf" and many Of the future posi-.
bilities outlined are purely theoretical.
The events of last week certainly
served asa reminder to all of us that
weather control is definitely a long
way off. With all of u scientific
equipment for the detection of wealth
err, we were still u%nprepared for the
inundation that decended upon us.
Many of the mechanical marvels we
depend on to triumph over the forces
of nature, not only failed us but actu-
ally created additional problems.
Our cars, for instance, which look
so sleek and powerful. and have been

the lower economic class. The
result. according TO this
American. is that commun-
lists have an opportunity TO
step in to take over the UNI
ions = or at least to raise a
disruptive voice. The middle
class rebel leaders are naive
about what is going on.
Castro will have to step on
other toes besides those of
COMMUNISTS Rival revolu-
tionary groups made their
contribution to the rebellion
and they will expect some
thing in return. The "Revo-
lutionary Directorate" for in
stance. is causing Castro
some concern as | write this
article. Expecting a share in
the spoils. they have announc-
ed that all rebel organiza-
tions should have a part in
the provisional government.
Yet Castro. in choosing the
cabinet under President Ur-
rutia, practically ignored this
party. Moreover, on Jan. 3
Castro protested against GER
tain rebels who were said to
be secretly storing arms. He
asked whether these arms
would be used against his gov
eminent which has the sup
port of all the people"
The new Cuban leader will
also have to be tough on the
gamblers. The casinos symbol
ize to him the corruption Of
the Batista regime. These
gamblers, aided by their
American gang S cohorts,
will strike back when Castro
tries a "clean-up."
Fidel Castro is a great pop
ular hero with courage to
spare. But courage is not
enough. He will have to be a
political genius. to bring a
Christian era TO Cuba.

lutely unnatural and always
will be.
Between informed Protest
ants and Catholics there
seems to be a growing under
standing of all that is involv-
ed in this issue of birth con-
troll. More and more are I'M
derstanding the position Cath
olics defend - that no one
is permitted to use an act
which is against nature even
if the end in view appears to
be good. We all agree that
couples are not bound to have
more children than they can
care for we disagree on
the means used.
Pleasure may also be men.
TONED here as . part OF the
divine plan in the marriage
act, but il is only q secondary
one. The primary precept OF
generation ean never be vio-
lated in favor Of the secon.
dairy preeepts. That is an i'm
portant distinction. Pleasure
here is kind Of inducement
TO sustain the burdens which
flow from the results Of tho
act.
Pleasure and lovemaking-
contrary to the opinion of
some Protestants - are not
the primary purposes of the
marriage act. They are con
comitants of the act but not
the purposes of it. Procrea-
ton is necessarily involved in
the primary. If pleasure were
the primary purpose of the
marriage act. then the act
might well become just a So
cial convention like hand
shaking. The marriage acts

then be destroyed and gener-
al promiscuity would take
over as soon as public opinion
would allow ii, and if history
were TO repeat itself, that
wouldn't take long.

President Eisenhower,
In his recent State of the
Union message, was very
optimistic about the flu
ture of the American
economy. The so-called recess
sion. he said, has run its
course, and we are entering
upon a period of remarkable
productivity and growth.
The President warned,
however, that the anticipated
growth and prosperity Of the
national economy could be
disrupted unless we deal firm.
ly with the causes Of initiation.
1.-TWO Of the most important
Of these causes" he said, ARE

Why Make
A Retreat?
by FIR. HenIey

G.. Why should laymen make
retreat? Is there . retreat
house near ~bvs7
tM.J.B.)
A. The initials are indicat-
ed for this question SO that no
one may suspect the diocesan
director of retreats of slip
ping this question in himself.
Pope Plus XI wrote an
encyclical on the Value of
the Retreat Movement dec.
20. 1929 in which he mention
ed the necessity of such spir-
itual formation for Catholic
Action members in particu-
lar. He speaks of the neces-
sity of Catholic Action and
says, I'VE can hardly find
words to express the iov We
experienced when We learned
that special series of sacred
meditations- were established
almost everywhere for the
training of these pacific and
strenuous soldiers of Christ"
He recommends the spiritual
strength of retreat for all,
mentioning the greater dam
ger of materialism in our day
and the greater power of mod
ern pagan propaganda. He
speaks of retreats for work
ingmen in particular as part
of the need and also one of
the advantages Of the modern
shorter work week. In many
places Pope Plus XII reinforc-
ed these words as in his en-
cyclical on the Liturgy (Medi-
ator Del, 1947): Take special
care that as many as possible,
not only of the clergy but of
the laity and especially those
in religious organizations and
in the ranks oil Catholic Ac-
ton, take part in monthly
days of recollection and in re-

treats of longer duration,
made with a view to growing
in virtue" A retreat provides
an almost indis p En-
means of spiritual renewal for
Catholic leaders and for any
Catholic who is aware of his
spiritual potential. There arc
many means of growth iii
grace, as Pope Plus XII points
out in his encyclical on the
Liturgy, and the greatest of
these are centered around the
liturgy. Still, he notes: st is
Our wish also that the faith
full, as we'll, should take part
in these practices. The chief
of these are: meditation on
spiritual things, diligent ex-
animation of conscience, en-.
closed retreats, visits to the
Blessed Sacrament, and those
special prayers in honor of
the Blessed Virgin Mary
among which the rosary, as
we know, has pride of place."
There is a diocesan retreat
house for men and women in
Columbus, which is open
throughout the year. The
schedule is printed in the
Catholic Times and the phone
number one may call.
q. Is there q St. Humphrey?
A. st. Humphrey (Onu-
phrius) was noted as the most
famous hermit after st. An
thony the Great. He had lived
in the desert for sixty years
and because of his humble
and homemade clothinfg is
known as patron of weavers.
His feast is June 18th.

Making Marriage Click
A Protestant Stand
On Birth Control
By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

Natural law is nothing else
than a rational creatures par
ticlpatlon in the eternal law
of God. II is an imprint in
man from God Himself by
which one discerns good and
evil. II is an impulsion within
mans nature towards this
true end. This, therefore. in
wolves certain commandments
which cannot be changed or
destroyed by any human be-
ing or Church, Protestant or
Catholic.
Plus XI described birth
control as ANY use whatso-
ever of matrimony exercised
in such a way that the act is
deliberately frustrated in its
natural power to generate
life" In birth control this
marriage act is violated in the
very manner of performing it.
Birth control is then intrin-
sically wrong. II is also a
grave act because upon its
reasonable use depends the
survival of the human race.
There is no other way OF peo-
ping the world than through
the use of the God-given pow
er OF this sacred marriage act.
! say reasonable use, for
we are not implying that all
should have as many children
as nature permits. This would
lead some to mere biological
fertility. That is not Christian.
II could, in some Circumstance
es, even be animalistic. In
having more children, a huS-
band is seriously bound not to
jeopardize the health of his
wife or the decent economic
condition of his family. A hus-
bands duty to his wife and
existing children is even more
pressing than his obligation
If there is one--to procreate
more children. The use of con-
traceptives, however. is abso-

What Will Castro Do
For War-Torn Cuba?

ahead into a peaceful and
Christian era? Like DeGaulle
in France, there is no doubt
of his noble aspirations. But
as in the case of DeGaulle,
the question is whether or not
Castro will be able to hold
his country together while he
treads on sensitive toes.
First. he will have to step
on communism. Among his
supporters are some who. 10
say the least. are suspected of
communism. The commander
os Ell Cabana, the fortress
overlooking the entrance to
Havana harbor, is a Castro
lieutenant and former Argen-
tine revolutionary whom some
have labeled a communist.
This man recently replied to a
reporters question about his
party ties: Il have never been
affiliated with the Commun-
lists" but he fastened to add:
That's not TO say I'm an anti
communist"
Major Camilo Cienfuegos,
commander of the Havana
province, proclaimed on Jan.
9 that the Communist party.
outlawed under Batista. would
be allowed to organize as
long as it did not violate
the nations laws. Eve can
not consider Communism a
crime he said. ZAP dis
patch: Jan. 81. 1t is estimated
that there are about 10000
party members in Cuba. Most
of them will probably be
found in the labor unions.

observer as saying that there
is a lack of able labor leaders
in the Castro ranks. The lead
ership of the rebel movement
was mainly middle-class while
the fighting men came from

What does the future
hold for Cuba under Cas-
fro? He has announced
that 1.-THE Christian spirit
will prevail in the new
era. No one doubts his good
intentions. He is an idealist.
YET more than idealism will
be needed to give Cuba a
free, stable and honest gov
eminent.
Political know-how is also
necessary. The problems fac
ing Castro are so complex and
colossal that he will have to
show an extraordinary amount
of diplomatic astuteness TO
win out.
The rebel leader will un-
dovbtedIy rely or the support
Of the Catholics Of Cuba. He
recently remarked that cvbs's
Catholics are outstanding for
their honesty and frustworthi-
ness and these are qualities
he will be searching for In the
stormy DAYS ahead.
Though he is divorced. he
has many friends among the
clergy. Among them is Father
Llorente. director of the Cath
Ollie university students move
ment. In an interview with
Father Liorente, Castro ap-
proved the Church's hands-off
policy during the revolution
but asserted that Cuba's Cath
olics had fully supported the
uprising. This is very much
