To "a Loyal Subscrib-
err" | say "Amen." No
one is denying that par
ents have a right to bring
their children to church,
only that parents should not
bring small children they can
not control to Holy Mass on
Sundays.
For at least three seasons
of the year, almost all Cath

in the evenings or on Sunday
afternoons. These can be no.
vena and Benediction, rosary
and Benediction, etc. Such
services are usually short and
have no sermon. If children
misbehave at this time, at
least they do not distract 9TH
err people to the point that
they miss Mass.
Also, every Catholic church
that | am familiar with is
open during the day even
when there are no services
being conducted. Surely,
once in a while it would be
possible to stop in with small
children for a visit to the
Blessed Sacrament.
AS the mother of three chill
dren, / took them to extra
services from the time they
were one and one-half years
old. They did not 60 to Mass
on Sundays, and then only oc-
casionally, until they were
three years of age. BY that
time they had learned how to
behave in church and while
they still are not model chill
dren, they act better than the
two-year-old that attended
Mass two Sundays ago and
screamed the whole time. The
parents must have thought it
was cute because they did not
have sense enough to take it
out of church.

Yesterday, in a French
city where I'm writing
this column, | met a Cath
Ole who had just return
ed from a visit of more
than a month to Czechoslo-
vakia. He described to me the
strong religious life of the
Catholics there. In spite of re-
lentless persecution, the faith
full by and large are loyal to
the Church.
ESPECIALLY interes t
was his account of the shrewd-
ness and ingenuity of Catho-
lie children in their attitude
to the communist authorities.
My friend said that these lit
tie ones develop ga double
personality" one personality
for the Communist party and
one for home and friends. In
school they give all external
appearances of following the
Marxist line; at home they re-
ject it.
For instance, a communist
school inspector recently
came to a high school and a
certain teacher put on a class
quiz for his benefit. The
teacher himself was not a
communist but nevertheless
the play-acting pupils respect
fully addressed him as "Com-
rade Teacher" and answered
all his questions with approx
ed Marxist answers. After the
inspector left, they stopped
their game of make-believe.

@. Does the rating Of the
Legion of Decency for movies
bind under pain of mortal
sin2
A. The work of the Legion
of Decency is not an oppres-
sive censorship but a Chris
tian service for the guidance
of conscientious Christi a n S
parents in particular. The Lee
gion of Decency pledge which
we all take once a year binds

are already bound as decent

are also sound common sense,
fitting for good people Of any
religion: 81 promise to do all
that / can to strengthen pub
lie opinion against the pro-
duction of indecent and inn
moral films, and to unite with
all who protest against them"
The Legion of Decency list is
designed to make that united
protest possible. If everyone
is going his own way with the
immoral or secularist press
Cor Hollywood publicity as a
guide how can there be any
sanction applied at all to in
decent and immoral films? II
seems logical that anyone,
therefore, who deliberately
attends a movie which is dis
approved by the Legion out of
disregard of or contempt for
the moral ideal represented is
guilty of sin. Such a sin would
be mortal only if the movie is
seriously sinful in its nature

risking of moral evil and

case only the confessor can

in the New Testament of ihe

A. The whole record of the
Acts of the Apostles and of
the Epistles (St. Paul, st.
John, st. Peter, etc. indicates
that the power Christ gave to

We know that salary is a
relative matter. Six thousand
dollars differs for a bachelor
and for a father of six chill
dren. 1t is estimated by some
that a mans wife will require
an expenditure of at least 20
per cent of her husbands sal
airy, and each child will take
from 10 to II per cent of the
family budget.
IT is TRUE that a large
family by that very fact has
its own richness and that it
is unfair to compare a bache-
lor's life to that of a father
of six children. But this fa-
Their of six does contribute
much to society and his prob
lens should be recognized by
the community and the COM
munity should help him in

THE FACT THAT He is al

dependents is often more the
oretical than practical. These
exemptions rarely help a low
income family. Many large
families do not have enough
total income to benefit from
these exemptions.
In the past we here in the
United States have been more
preoccupied with emotio n a |
and psychological problems
than with the family's eco

Making Marriage Click
Too Many Discriminate
Against Large Families
by Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

We have six children which
we DO consider a blessing. My
classmates and friends have
only fwo or three children,
if any. The problem we are
facing is that because of the
size of our family we cannot
offer the same educational
and economic advantages TO
our children that they offer
theirs. Shouldn't the govern
menf give more consideration
TO large famiIies?-V.c.
No doubt, families and
family organizations
should now be in contact
with presidential candi-
dates. Both candidates
should be asked to do more
thinking about the family as
a family. Leaders in agricul-
ture have succeeded in doing
just this, SO have labor and
medicine and industry, and so
on.
ONE WOULD NOT want to
give the impression, however,
that the government should
take over primary responsible
ity for the family. Parents
must remain the ones pri-
marily responsible for the
needs of their children. The
government should be resort
ed to in certain emergencies.
This does not mean, however,
that the government should
not be ''family-minded" in its
legislation. Your pro b e m
VIC, is a real one with many
hidden principles involved.

the children baptized and ale
so have them receive other
Sacraments.
DESPITE ALL the pressure
from the party, according to
my friend, the Catholic people
of both the Latin and Eastern
rite are still faithful. He cal
culated that only 10 per cent
of the people are communists
and of that 10 per cent, six per
cent are communists only to
make a living. "The law of ex-
istence," he said, sis strong,
especially for the sick and
men who are incapable Of
manual labor"
Bishop Paul Gojdich of the
Byzantine Catholic Chu r C h
which was liquidated by the
communists in 1850, died on
July 10 of this year after a
long term in Leopoldo Prison.
The communist authorities
refused to give his body to his
relatives and the presumption
is that they cremated his body
and scattered the ashes for
fear the faithful would ver-
crate his remains.
IN BRIEF, HILE the
