view Of Catholicism as a mon
o-lithic structure with hard
and fast positions on every
circumstance and factor in
contemporary life, this dis
tinguished Dominican social
philosopher maintains that it
is the most fluid and most
adaptable of all moral sys-
TENS precisely because it is
based on the broadest of all
principles, because it is based
on the nature Of man as he is
seen in the light Of revela-
ton. And it is this same fluid
ity, this same sympathetic
flexibility, this same unique
capacity for bringing into con-
formity the difficulties facing
modern society with the most
abstract moral principles that
distinguishes Father Welty's
work.
MAN IN SOCIETY and its
three companion volumes
have had a marked impact on
the teaching and Qualification
of Catholic social morality in
Europe, and the present long
awaited English translation by
Gregor KRISTEN, OPP, and
John Fitzsimons has already
been acclaimed by educators
and clergy as well as by polit-
ical and labor leaders. The
Right Rev. Jos. N. Moody
praises the book as "the best
in the field" and continues

macies of married life, she
tries to shed the mask and be
herself. There is very little
left of her real self.
WEARING a MASK con-
tinually has consumed all her
spontaneity and she finds it
almost impossible to develop
a genuine interest in some
body else. She cannot share
her love because she has lost
the ability to share it.
In short, many film idols in
one part of their personalities
are mere infants. AS children
they were in love with them
selves and they should have
grown out of it. But they pro-
longed or perhaps reverted
to childhood. Thus they have
become looming successes at
the box office and dismal fail
ures as persons. They have
wrecked their marriages.
WE HAVE a WEIRD situa-
ton in the United States to-
day. Bobby-soxers who need
to grow up are making idols
of film stars who are still in
fantile. They refer to them as
great lovers and yet they are
wrecking marriages precisely
because they are incapable of
loving.

Communion should be denied

At present, the Church Law
states: persons who procure
abortion, the mother not ex-
cepted, automatically incur ex-
communication reserved to the
Bishop of the Diocese, at the
moment the crime takes
place" Canon 1850.

ope does not cease to be a
Christian but is, as it were,
exiled from Christian society,
deprived Of all rights and
privileges. These dire penal
ties are incurred, not only
by the abortionist but also by
the mother and by all those
who freely give positive and
necessary cooperation in the
performance of the crime.
Such is the horror that the
Church has for the murder of

louS issues, leaving it to the
citizens, in the long run, to
draw the correct conclusions.
| realize, however, that
although Puerto Rico is all
American island common
wealth, it does not as yet en-.
joy anything like the stand
ards of literacy and education
that are found in the States.
Further, the reasons which
the bishops gave for their de-
cislon were certainly very
weighty.
FOR YEARS they. have been
protesting against a govern
ment policy of encouraging
contraception, steriliza t
and abortion.
The government has also
declined to take steps to east
legal and economic pressures
which drive the poor into COM
mon-laW marriages and con-
cubinage.
Nothing has been done to
see to the religious education
of public school children who
are almost all Catholics.
The browning provocation
and it was a grave one in
deed-came with the publica-
ton of the party's platform,
which was more a statement
of philosophy than of political
positions.
Let us put ourselves for a
moment in the position of the
three bishops. They bear the
responsibility for the spiritual
and moral protection of their
flocks.
They opened their newspa-
pers one day and found that
the Munoz party had adopted,
as its basic thinking about
law and government, this
ment.
1.-THE democratic philosophy
Of our party implies that only
those acts which the general
consensus of Puerto Ricans
considers immoral, such
as murder, theft, perjury, etc,
can be prohibited with pun
ishmenf. But ii is not iicif
under the rule of liberty TO
prohibit with punishment
those acts which . respectable
part of public opinion does not
regard as immoral"
Let us hope that the party
did not mean precisely that.
But probably it did. After all,
this was the official platform,
surely not adopted without
thought.

What the platform was say
ing was nothing short of this
that not even murder could
be prohibited with punish
nent" if "a respectable part
of public opinion" came to
consider murder not immoral.
Under what the platform
called 1.-THE rule of liberty" it
would indeed be a fact, as
the bishops charged. that peo-
pie would be free to vote on
the Ten Commandments"
This is deadly mischief.
What can it mean except that
the hideous crimes of a Hitler
or a Stain, or the widest
wrongs of private malefactorS,
must be legalized if "a re-
spectacle part of public opin-
ion" denied their immoral
ity?
WHAT THE BISHOPS faced
was the spectacle of a govern
ing party publicly washing its
hands of all moral responsible
ity-Which is like a father
saying he will do nothing to
encourage morality among his
children, but will ratify their
every delinquency.
The party platform further
attempted to deny the right
of the bishops and the clergy
to exercise citizenship, or to
criticize political acts harm
full to religion, morality and
doctrine"
This would gag and bind
not only the Catholic Church,
but Pfotestants and Jews and
everybody else who believes
in religion.
Finally, the party platform
alleged that the Church was
trying to impose dogmas and
personal conduct" on all
Puerto Ricans by laws which
prohibit and punish"
The bishops called this "a
big lie" They said they had
never wished to impose morals
on anybody "by political
means" - but they held that
public power cannot be used
to promote immoral ideas
and practices" and that this,
the party had done.
Whether or not the bishops
chose the wisest possible
course, nobody can deny that
they had grave reasons for
their action.

County Drive to Block
Annexation Is Charged

The Mayor explained that the
annexation court must first de-
eide what part, If any, of the
area will be added to Falls
Church and what schools will
be assigned to the city. Then,
he said, it will be up to the city
and county school boards to
provide for the schooling Of
the children.
Mr.. HALEY said that If an
nexation becomes effective as
Of January Of any year, mo
doubt the courts would require
that students then enrolled in
any particular school would
finish out their school year in
those schools"
He noted that this arrange
ment had been followed at the
time that Falls Church became
an independent city in 194s.
Mr.. Hailey's statement was

annexation petitions in the
