come but because, unlike
every other organization, it
possesses the living divine
teacher Who is God himself.
In discussing the Church
with non-Catholics we have TO
discuss the human side of the
Church: that is the side they
see. But among ourselves we
should talk about the other
and more important side, the
divine element in the Church,
and our image OF the Church
should he the image Of the
consoling Spirit sanctifylng,

WHEN | THINK Of the
Vatican, | like to think of
Pope John announcing an
Ecumenlcal Council which, he
said. would be an occasion for
separated Christians to seek
unity. This stirring of the
ecumenical spirit is a reassur-
ing proof of the presence of
the Holy Spirit IN the Church
today.
Looking towards the return
of separated Christians, the
Holy Spirit Is renewing the
spiritual vitality of Catholics
so that their conduct will bear
some resemblance TO their
claim of belonging to the one,
holy Church of Christ.
AS we can see from the
Una sancsa movement, the
Holy Spirit is converting
Catholics to holier lives in or
der that they might IN turn
convert those separated Chris
tians who are hungry for the
bread of the Eucharist and the
unity of the Body of Christ.
ERslEs with
Blanshard over the power
structure of the Vatican are
rather futile. But there is
warmth and inspiration in the
fact that the Holy Spirit,
through reunion work. is
speaking to a profusion of
sects. God is not q debater.
He is simply calling his Chris
tlans home

At a time when Catholic
parents are finding increas-
lngly burdensome the task Of
supporting two school systems
this practice drains off mil.
lions of dollars into an edu-
cational non-essentiaI. 1t has
fostered the growth of a com.
plete new sub-induStry at the
expense of those same par.
ents.
THERE is A FAR more
basic issue, however, than the
matter of expense. The whole
Catholic educational system
is founded on the natural
rights of parents to rear their
children according to the
dictates of their consciences.
II seems to me, therefore,
quite paradoyical that within
that educational system there
are administrators and educa-
tors who would attempt TO
usurp the right Of parents to
clothe their children. a right
just as basic and intrinsically
connected with the other.
REDUCED TO SIMPLE
terms the issue can be put In
this way: AS a parent, | know
where my right to clothe my
children comes from. 1t comes
from God. | do not know
where anyone else gets the
right to suspend or abrogate
that right in whole or In part,
much less by what right any
one else presumes to commits
sion third parties to design,
produce. and sell to me at a
predetermined price, clothing
for my children. / wish some
one could tell me.

looted by the Germans. Nine. de
Caulle set about the huge task of
putting it back into shape. She was
delighted when, in 1916, after
heading the provisional French
government, the General withdrew
from politics and retired to Colon
bey to write his memoirs.
Their serene life there came
to an end in May, 1858, when
de Caulle once again took over the
reins of the French Government,
first as Prime Minister and then as
President of France.
A thrifty hoUsekeeper
Nine. de Caulle runs the Elysee
Palace, the official residence of the
Presidents of France, with the
hand of thrifty housekeeper. The
de Gaulles are not rich and the
salary allotted to the President is
barely enough to cover the cost
of the huge establishment and
essential entertaining.
The General has promised his
wife to spend at least one weekend
each month at Colombey. There,
surrounded by his family and
grandchildren, the aloof leader
becomes laughing, friendly coun-
try neighbor.
Nine. de Caulle presides at vii
lage school meetings, looks after
the sick, proffers advice and even
shares some of her cooking secrets
with the neighbors. They affection
ately call her "Aunt Yvonne."
Whot should q woman be?
She believes that there are few
infexibIe rules by which all women
should conduct their lives. A
woman, she says, should stick to
her home. To reconcile happily
Job and a family is, she believes,
more than most women can do.
The husband always comes first -
even before the children. Divorce
is anathema.
The de Gaulles are both deeply
religious. Their faith enabled them
to retain equanimity when their
youngest daughter Anne died from
an incurable illness at the age of
20. Most of the proceeds from the
sale of the Generals memoirs went
to the establishment of The Anne
de-Caulle Foundation for retarded
children near Colombey.
Though the General seldom re-
fers to his wife publicly, the French
people are very much aware of her.
They admire and respect her.
But most of all they are grateful
to her for being 'the source of all
