of American Catholic opinion
regarding separation of the
Church and State. The Constr
tuition explicitly says that no
religious test should be re-
CURED for public office and l
am sure that Catholics would
be the last group in America
to vote for a repeal of this
law.
THE NATIONAL Associa-
ton of Evangelicals recently
came out with an appeal to
Protestant preachers to whoop
it up on Reformation Sunday

Protestant voters to apply a re-
ligious test at the polls.
Before We work ourselves
up to a lather of moral indig-
nation at the Evangelicals we
might stop a moment to re-
call that they do not represent
mainline Professionalism and
that the National Council of
Churches comprising about 40
million Protestants) has re-
fused to take the cue from
the Evangelicals. But the
Evangelicals. do represent
the un-American, undemocra-
tic and anti-C Catholic view that
citizens should allow religi-
Gus prejudice to pull the
levers in the polling booths.

@. Why is il that suicides
seem TO be buried from
Church nowadays?
A. Anyone who deliberately
commits suicide cannot be
given Christian burial. If
there Is serious doubt in the
matter the bishop of the do
cese is consulted and makes
the final decision. When a
persons life has been ex-
emplary and there is reason to
believe that he was not fully
responsible at the time, Chris
tian burial will be permitted.
After all, this punishment is
aimed only at those who by
fragrant mortal sin Of a public
nature indicate that they do
no deserve the public honor
of Christian burial. If there is
evidence that the person has
not been guilty of such a fault
the punishment should not be
applied. Others who are ex-
cluded from Christian burial
are not in such a doubtful po-
sition Gas a rule): notorious
apostates from the Faith,
those who have left the
Church for some other church
or to join the Masons, those
who leave orders for their
bodies to be cremated and
those who are public manifest
sinners.

All Souls Month

We do not know what Purgatory is like. But we
do know it exists on the infallible authority of the
Church. The need for ~purgation or cleansing and the
fact that it can take place after death is clearly stated
in the Scriptures.
REASON CONFIRMS THIS for it is a matter of
experience that some people must die with unforgiven
venial sins or forgiven but unexpiated mortal sins on
their souls.
Manifestly, such souls cannot be admitted direct
ly into heaven. On the other hand, they should not be
condemned to hell either, because they are not Gods
enemies.
There must be a place of ~purgation after death.
And we call that place P~urgatory.
WE ARE TOLD the suffering of Purgatory ex-
ceeds the greatest suffering on earth and doubtless the
length Of time spent there is determined by the num-
Der and seriousness of ones sins in his life. The suffer
in Purgatory is so intense because it deprlveS souls Of
the vision of God and inflicts on them other kinds Of
pain.
The pain is increased by the realization that the
souls could have been with God earlier if prayer and
atonement had been offered before death. But Gods
mercy makes this pain bearable, because hope is still
present in the souls in Purgatory. Hope OF salvation
and everlasting happiness.
st. Bridget of Sweden once wrote that "a one who
is hungry is glad to get food SO are the souls in
Purgatory glad and thankful for the good deeds done
for them on earth"
HER WORDS CONFIRM the traditional teaching
Of the Church that the actions of the living help the
souls in Purgatory.
We can alleviate the suffering of the Holy Souls
In Purgatory by prayer, Masses, good works, and in
d%ulgences. BY performing such acts OF mercy dur
ing the month of November, dedicated to the Holy
Souls, we can keep the light of hope burning bright
for them. CAT

turbing fact is that many par

THIS is NOT a plea for
federal aid to education. 1t
is a demand for elementary
justice if such aid is passed.
If the federal government is
going to aid some citizen-stu-

program, it must in justice
aid all citizen-students. But
justice in education will not
be served in 1861 unless we

Says Films
Degrade Sex

EQIlOT.
am of the opinion that
If the women of Columbus
wanted to, they could be
of sufficient moral force
to put an end to the rash
of obscene movies being
foisted upon us.
THEATERS SUCH as the
Parsons "Follies," some auto
theaters and others are show
ing films which serve only to
downgrade women in the eyes
of man.
These filmed products, aim
ed chiefly at a male audience
are designed to arouse the sex
passion. That this arousement
may lead upon our women
does not concern the manag-
ers of these theaters.
THERE IS NOTHING to
gain and everything to lose
in permitting theaters to show
films that constantly make a
mockery of sex.
Women Of Columbus should
get busy right now and de-
mand from our mayor and city
council effective laws design
ed to prevent films being
shown that tempt our men
and lead to attacks on our
women.

IF CATHOLICISM were the
official religion of the United
States, it would make sense
to vote for a Catholic candi-
date because he is a Catholic.
But it makes no sense to vote
for or against a candidate for
religious reasons in choosing
the president of a Republic
that is neutral as regards re-
ligious denominations.
The First Amendment Is
Americas pledge of religious
neutrality and Catholics hope
no president will violate the
pledge. We want our presi-
dents to play no favorites.
THE MEDIEVAL IDEA Of
union of Church and State
seems to have been based
largely on the nation that it's
impossible to have political
stability without religious
unity. But 100 glorious years
of American history have
proved that even in a country
of many sects, you can have
political stability as long as
