Sum and Substance:
We Elect A Candidate.
Not A Religion
by Fir. John Il. Sheerin. esp.
NO TIME TO RUN
A Religion

ing the Charleston ad and the
Chicago resolution is that a
voter may vote against a can
dldate because of the alleged
teachings OF the candidate S
church. Let's take a glance at
the logical consequences to
which such a principle will
lead. Ii viii mean that the
Constitutional provision bar
ring a religious test for office
must be repealed.
If If is right for voters to
vote against a candidate be-
cause of his church, it must
also be right for the State and
Federal Government TO bar a
candidate because of his
Church's teachings. The Ma
tlonal Association of Evan
gelieals ought TO get to work
on repeal right away.
SECONDLY, " VOTERS
may Judge a man on his re.
llgious associations, then of
course, IT follows that Catho-
lies can vote against Protest
ant candidates because their
churches teach birth control
and tolerate divorce. The
Catholic believes these doc
trines are pernicious and
harmful of the common good.
This would mean every po-
litlcal campaign would be-
come a gigantic theological i'm
QUESTION. Catholics investlgat-
ing Protestant doctrines and
ProteStantS hunting Catholic
doctrines for Objectionable
items.
Thirdly, this principle of
Judging a candidate. not on
his merits but on his relig-
lous affiliation, really amounts
TO the principle of guilt by as
ISOLATION. Logically it should
apply TO the candidates wife
and friends. AS voters would
be expected to vote for a
mans religion. so they would
be expected to vote for or
against his wife-which would
mean the campaign would be
come a beauty contest.
THE FOUNDING fathers,
however. wanted TO forestall
any such conniptions and that
is why they barred any re-
ligious test for office. They
were men of all shades of re-
ligious belief and none. Be-
ing practical men they knew
that what the country needed
was not men of a particular
sect but men of conscience,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Judging from a recent
article, YOU are weaken
ing your stand for male
supremacy. You say Wom-
On are more capable Of be
ing religious than men. A truly
religious person should not
rely on his emotions as a re-
ligious guide but rather than
on his reasoning "A woman
grabs for every .Consphng
sentiment and then is not

ligious" in a general sense.
Lei me Try TO clarity my point
by making . distinction be-
tween being religious and
being "pious."
One is religious when he
or she does the will of God.
One is pious when he or she
manlfests devotions TO God.
There has been very little re-
search on Wheeler women are
more religious than men. In
fact, in this field research is
practically ! non-existent.
The few studies have seen

often men and women 90 TO

this indicates very little about
their spiritual life. True, some

does not show the religious
ness of men and women.

human being without teaching
(by his very naturel, but it
would have the handicap Of
human passion land all such
results of original SIM and
would be acquired in its full
ness only after some time and
experience. In human society
1T is practically necessary for
man to have help. which is
the reason for the divine reye-
lation of the Old and New
Testament. Man nrdina rily
cannot know soon enough,
surely enough the things he
needs for his personal and
social moral life. The natural
law is available through rea.
son alone but it is too inn
portant for mans happiness:
God gives lis revelation, and
of course the help of His
grace, so that we may come to
a more certain and earlier
knowledge. Without this di-
vine help man often becomes
confused about the natural
law. so that we have head

@. When . ma loses his
life in the service Of his eoun.
try is he eensidered . martyr
and can we assume he has
gone 10 heaven7 What about
. woman who died in child
birth?
A. Christ spoke of the love
of a man who lays down his
life for a friend, but we can
not be sure that everyone
who is killed in the service is
offering his life COR his DEATH
out Of love. A man who dies
IN battle with d sincere desire
10 serve his country and to
preserve freedom for the 6e-
~fenseless citizens would seem
10 be sure of heaven. but we
cannot know the motives of
individuals with that preci.
sion. The only such person we
could be sure of would be
one whom the Church has
canonized. The same reason
ing applies to a woman who
dies in childbirth. II would
seem 10 be an occasion for
noble self-sacrifice and heroic
love but we cannot be sure in
every case that the person
has such motives. Except for
the canonized saints we had
better leave all such decisions
to God. Wen find out more

A. Prothonotaries Apostoi-

Q. What exactly is an in
diligence and cen we apply IT
TO ourselves or 10 the Poor
Souls?
A. An indulgence is an ap-
pllcation Of the good works,
The merits of the saints Tan
application of the doctrine
of the Communion of Saints.
to souls on earth or in pur-
gatory. The name has bad con
notatlonS since it seems to
suggest In our modern use of
the word a kind of condoning
OF sin. It has no such mean
ing as used by the Church. 1t
refers only to PAST sins. It
means that some Of the repair
alton, the temporal fempor-
aryl punishment due to them
Is RENTED because the
Church applies to us the treas
ury of graces entrusted TO
the Church by Christ Him
self Matthew 1913. 1t is
based on the same Scrlptural
authority which backs up the
value of any prayer for any
one: the Church in the case
of an indulgence applies the
prayers and good works of
the saints to those who need
II. To gain an indulgence we
must intend to gain it and we
must perform the work pre-
scribed by the Church. We
cannot apply an indulgence
to any other living person
but all lndulgences granted
by the Pope. unless the con-
trarv Is evident, can be APP
piled to the souls in purga-
tory.
@. A Catholic married 10
non.CathoIie by other than
priest, and later divorced,
car remarry in the Church.
Would the same be true for
The non.CsthoIie party is he
later became Catholic and
wished TO marry?
A. All particular situations
must be Judged by the pastor
and submitted To the Diocesan
Tribunal for ultimate decree.
When the facts are proved
as mentioned lie. a Catholic
party is involved in a mar
riage never made valid by the
presence of a duly-authorlzed
priest and two witnesses the
marriage will be declared in
valid. Either party is then
free to marry. This. is a law
OF the Church. acting on its
divine authority, requiring
all Catholics TO receive the
sacrament Of Matrimony (as
IT requires certain conditions
for all sacraments) under GER
tain specific conditions. In
addition, a Catholic who mar
ried out of the Church must
have his case submitted to
the Bishop before he can re-
turn to the sacraments. He
is communicated if be mar
ries before a minister, In
this and most dioceses it is a
reserved sin if he is married
by a justice OF the peace.
@. Is the natural moral law
something that is imprinted
inherited by man directly
from Cod on the hearts Of all
man? Is il understood without
having 10 be learned from
some other human being?
Would a human being born
land by some rare seeidentl
never coming into contact
with human society after
ward still have q concept Of
the natural moral law?
A. st. Paul states it simply:
when the Gentiles who have
no law do by nature what the
Law prescri5es. these having
no law are a law unto them
selves. They show the work
of the law written in their
hearts. Their conscience bears
witness to them. even when
conflicting thoughts accuse or
