It is an area which Is not
the direct responsibility Of
any government or any party,
unless government and party
while proclaiming absolute
separation between Church
and State-attcmpt at the
same time to gain control of
the Church, souls and con
sciences.
The fact that the Popular
party claims the right to think
and act as seems best to its
leaders does not mean that
the Popular party must not
be guided by a moral respon-
sibility.
NOR DOES THAT mean
that we citizens are all obi
gated to think and act like
the Popular party.
But that is actually what is
being attempted. It is a
fragrant violation of freedom
of thought. 1t is a clear viola
ton of the principles of
democracy, because it is said
that democracy gives us the
right to dissent from each
other.
Then, in a true democracy,
the Catholic citizen must re-
tain the freedom of thinking
as Catholics, Of expressing
themselves as Catholics and
of acting as Catholics.
It is, therefore, unreason-
able to seek to have the
bishops of the Catholic
Church advise Catholics to
vote against their own Catho-
lie beliefs and against the Ten
Commandments of Gods law.
Where is the violation of
conscience? Is it in the atti-
tude of the bishops of the
Catholic Church, or in the at
titude of the leaders of the
Popular party? And above all,
where is logic and common
sense?
THE BISHOPS ARE being
accused of campaigning ex-
pressly in favor of the State
Republican party. Such an &C
cusation deserves no COM
ment.
We bishops are defending

actions.
"THE REAL QUESTION:
which the Church's enemies
Systematically attempt to
evade = is whether a Catho-
lie can licitly vote in con-
science against his own relig-
ious convictions"
The pastoral continued:
'"The Popular party has judg-
ed its right and duty to pro-
claim in an official program
that one of its fundamental
principles is a morality based
exclusively of human opin-
ions, a morality which de-
stroys the Ten Commandments
of Gods law.
"And the Catholic Church
has judged its right and duty
to proclaim in an episcopal
pastoral letter that one of
its fundamental principles is
a morality based on the inn
mutable law of God - which
always will be the same-and
not on human opinions which
can label good today what
they labeled bad yesterday.
"The Popular party has also
announced its purpose of inn
posing as an obligation in pub
lie schools the teaching of that
same goddess morality, that
morality which destroys Gods
Ten Commandments.
"AND The CHURCH has
announced its purpose of op-
posing that violation of con-
science which implies the OBJ
ligatory imposition of a NOR
atty whose teaching does
not consider the natural right
of each and every parent re-
garding the religious educa-
ton of his children -"
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1960-11-04

cally to evade - is whether
it is licit for a Catholic to
vote contrary to his own re-
ligious convictions.
The Popular party has judi
ged it a right and duty to pro-
claim in its official program
as one of its basic principles,
a code of ethics based ex-
clusively on human opinions:
a code of ethics which takes
no account of Gods law, a
morality that destroys the
Ten Commandments of Gods
law.
AND THE Lie
Church has judged it a right
and duty to proclaim in a
pastoral letter by its bishops
as one of its fundamental
principles a code of ethics
based upon Gods immutable
law - which will always at
all times be the same - and
not upon human opinions that
can call something good today
which they called bad yester-
day.
Moreover, the Popular party
has announced its intention
to impose as mandatory in
the public schools the teach
ing of that goddess morality,
a morality that destroys the
Ten Commandments of Gods
law.
And the Church has an
nounced its intention to rise
up against the violation of
conscience implied in the
mandatory imposition or a
code of ethics whose teach
ings violate the natural right
of heads of families concern
ing the education of their
children, without any concern
for religious rights.
THE BISHOPS HAVE tried
to dictate any pattern of con-
duct to any party concerning
the management of matters
strictly and exclusively politi-
cal. This is the responsibility
of the political leaders.
But when a moral question
is being dealt with, something
dealing directly with souls,
then one treads on an area
which is the bishops respon-
sibility.

the Bishops of the Apostolic
Roman Catholic Church.
AS a NEW INSTRUMENT
OF confusion, the public au-
thority is going to bring TO
Pureto Rico an individual
who is going to be introduced
as nothing less than an arch
bishop of a church of new or
old design, that he may adj
dress the people by radio and
television on November z, the
eve of elections.
Remember the: the only
archbishop Of the Apostolic
Roman Catholic Church, the
Church of all of you, is the
Archbishop of San Juan, the
Most Rev. James P. Davis.
DO not let yourselves be
deceived or confused by any
one, whoever he may be, who
comes TO talk to you as an
archbishop Of the Catholic
Church.
Do not believe anyone who
contradicts what we have said
up to now. Our declarations
are final: we shall not change
them, because the principles
do not change. Let those
change who base their posi-
tons upon the changeable
opinions of man.
To halt this rev maneuver,
our priests and our faithful,
will cooperate closely as is
their duty. to make certain
that the official voice of the
Church is heard and dissent
mated, especially throughout
the countryside of Puerto
Rico. and to obtain conformity
in all faithfulness with the
principles expressed in our
two last pastoral letters.

the present time affords q

all agree, when religion must

"This is not improperly
mixing religion and politics;
this is bringing our religious
traditions into the stream of
American life in a way that
influences that public life
while it protects individual
freedom" he said.
Cardinal Cushing recalled
that churchmen have joined
in condemning movements
such as nazism and commun-
ism which threaten every hui
man value"
"Unless religious authority
spoke out in contexts like this
-. it would properly be ac-
cused of Indicating its re-
sponsibilities," he declared.
There are times -. when
religion must stand in judg-
ment on the temporal order"
But he added:

american Catholics are
proud to be part of this his
tory and part of this tradi-

The text of Cardinal Cush-
ing's statement follows:
am pleased to add my
voice to that of the Apostolic
Delegate to the United States,
Archbishop vagnozzi. in de-
eIaring that il is totally out
of step with the American ira
difion for ecclesiastical au-
thority here TO dictate the po-
lifieaI voting of citizens. This
has never been q part of our
history, and ! pray God that
II never will be.
At the same time, our
American tradition has al
ways encouraged the discus
sion of moral and religious
questions in helping 10 form
the intelligent decision Of the
voter. Our attitudes on vsri-
Gus moral questions, whether
II be gambling or liquor. or
sterilization or eufhanasia, or
whatever else, are expected TO
influence our decisions in
choosing candidates and par
ties and programs in the pub
lie life of our country. The re-
Iisiovs disposition of our peo-
pie, In the American way, has
ifs say in helping the indI-
vidual voter from his con-
science, and use his ballot in
Keeping with his conscience
thus informed.
AS . result of all OF This,
we expect religious leaders
in our country of whatever
denomination TO discuss those
issues which have reievanee

their constituents when spir'

values are involved. This is

Text Of Puerto Rican Bishops Second Letter

Catholic morality against the
Popular party, just as we are
defending it against the coali-
ton Of the Republican and
socialist parties, and as we
shall defend it against any
other party, no matter how it
be called. When morality is
at stake, state affiliation, non
affiliation or a free associa-
ton do not matter, if these,
or any other parties defend
ing any of those political
ul a S, place Christian
morality in danger.
On October 18, we, the
bishops, condemned, no. only
the Popular party, but any
party which included a god
less morality In Its program.
AS early as May %, and
later on June 30, we, the
bishops, warned that the
Catholics have the right to re-
fuse their vote to the three
parties existing at that time
in Puerto Rico-the Popular
party, the Statehood party
and the independence party
because the programs OF
those parties did not at that
time satisfy, and still do not
satisfy, Catholic ideals. And
these statements of the
bishops, authorized on May u
and repeated on June 80, are
still standing.
IN OUR PASTORAL letter
of October Is, we, the
bishops, condemned the Popu-
lar party in particular, be-
cause the Popular party has
done something that no other
political party in the entire
history of Puerto Rico has
done up to now. 1t has stated
formally in its program that
it is going to carry secular
ism to its final consequences,
that is, to implant in govern
ment and in education a
morality which destroys the
Ten Commandments of Gods
law.
If the intention of State
hood party and that of the
independence party were to
carry secularism to its final
consequences of negatlng
Gods law, then these two
parties would fall, without
the necessity of further state
ment, under the same con-
demnation of October ID.
An asset characteristic OF
man is moral good. More high
ways, more schools, more hos
pitfalls, more aqueductS, more
school dining rooms and more
electric light cables are very
good things. But they do not
necessarily imply less delin-
quency. more honesty, more
decency, more morality. They
may exist side by side with
immortality, particularly if the
highways. schools and hospi-
tails are being used to dissent
nate a goddess code of ethics,
one which destroys the Ten
Commandments of Gods law,
Which is worth more, ma
terial good or spiritual good?
This is how a Christian ought
simply to put the question to
himself.
WE BISHOPS HAVE limit
ed ourselves to saying only
that it is not permissible for
Catholics to favor with their
vote the establishment and
dissemination Of a goddess
morality, of a morality which
destroys the Ten Command
ments of Gods law, like that
proclaimed by the Popular
party.
The bishops pastoral letter
did not create this illicitness
on October 10. That illicitnes.
was established by the law Of
God.
On October IS, we bishop.
limited ourselves to pointing
out this illicitness, created b,
Gods law.
Moreover, the statements o
the bishops are not establish
ing any new sin. They art
only pointing it out. When
judge declares a certain &C
to be a crime. he does no
