TO ASSERT on the basis
of verifiable evidence $3.50 that
periodicals ABC or XYZ are
guilty of coddling labor would
be perfectly legitimate As a
matter of fact, a little more of
this kind of intramural criti-
cism would probably be good
for the Catholic press.
On the other hand. TO allege
that the entire Catholic press
is guilty Of special pleading
on the subject of labor tor
any other subject and to do
so without adducing a single
shred Of supporting evidence
is TO dispose of a very i'm.

BE THAT as il may. the
principal purpose of The Wan

praise or criticize the Catho-
lie press. but rather to answer
the question, When Is a
Strike LAWFUL" The Wander

a brief excerpt from an arti-
Gle written several years ago
by Father Francis Connell,
C.SS.R, who for many years
was Professor of Moral The

sity of America. Father Con-

other things, that mot a few

years would seem to be I'M

all by a few rigid unbending
rules. This again is futile.
Codes must be pliable and adj
Unstable. A healthy freedom
of expression. self-rel lance
and tolerance of personal
tastes is necessary. To de-
mand s%crupulous obedience is
to reproaeh a child for being
a child. Again and again it
must be emphasized that a
child is not a miniature adult.
SOME SUGGESTIONS: %
A parent can lessen his nery-
BUSINESS by making a greater
effort to understand a child
and seeking less for reasons
TO Justify his own position.
The difference between a
chlld's world and an adults
must be realized.
BEFORE PARENTS impose
rules of conduct they should
make sure the child is capable
Of following them. Some par
ents are more interested in
discipline han in b
ehild's real interests.
t3l A CHILD SHOULD be
made to realize that even if
he sometimes dlsobeys he Will

ed that nervousness Of par

Finally, a nervous parent
must start by considering his
child as entirely normal. He
must share closely a child's
Joys, sorrows, tastes. school

sion before the time of public
first confession land First
communionl?
A. 1t is possible and some
times necessary. All serious
(mortal) sins committed after
Baptism must be submitted
TO the confessor IN the
Sacrament of Penance. Canon
No. 906 states this fact con-
cisely All Catholics of either
sex who have reached the
years of discretion (that is to
say. the use of reason. are
obliged to confess all their
sins accurately once a year"
The unusual intelligence of
a child may not necessarily
make him morally respon-
Sible, the use of reason re-
fers to the realization of
moral responsibility which
will not necessarily accom-
pany intellectual achievement.
Canon No. SO clarifies the
question too. A child who is
under the age of seven years
of age is not considered re
sponsible for his actions;
when fully seven years of age
the law presumes that the
child has attained the use of
reason" For children younger
than that the judgment of
the confessor or pastor should
be followed. Often children
go to confession for weeks
or months before their first
Holy Communion.

is the explsnafion7
A. The ring is a symbol OF
fidelity as worn in marriage,
by bishops and by religious
(both men and women). In
marriage, the ring is a sign
and pledge of fidelity of the
spouses to each other. The
bishops ring is a sign of his
"betrothal to the Church" and
the ring presented to conse-
Grated virgins reminds them
of their betrothal to their
heavenly spouse" Most an
cient people have used the
ring with its symbolism of
fidelity and of authority the
ring used as a seal): in the
second century this effective
emblem was adopted by the
Christians for marriage and
for other religious ceremon-
les.

lie The title is the cue. his

reer have been % TO be Cath
Ollie, and ~ to be Roman
Catholic.
THERE ARE 400 million
Catholics in the world and
therefore you may think that
being a Catholic is MOI a dis
tinetiye or distinguished goal.
But Father LaFarge feels that
the distinctive feature of his
life has been this dedication
70 i Catholicism that is exact
~ what the word says-uni-
versal.p
HIS M GOAL has
been 10 bring the fullness of
Christ to all creatures. He
says ii is the lifelong re-
frain'' underlying his varied
experiences, a deep and abld-
ing sense of the universal mis-
sion of the Church. He sees
this refrain running through
the great Papal statements Of
the Holy See in our times and
he maintains that the Church
will make no impact on the
contemporary world unless it
makes its Catholicity over
Whelming evident.
THE WORLD will close its
mind 10 the other marks Of
The Church, unity and holi-
ness and apostolicity, unless
We impress it with the mark
of love for all nationalities,
all classes and types OF peo-
pie.

modern American Catholic to
be internationally minded

than a sympathetic interest in
the emerging nations Of Asia
and Africa. "Catholicity, to
