Whatever it is that Miller

Jones had walked in a run

Although he had a 4-2 lead and

Dodgers Lead Cut
The Giants 4-2 victory, set

the Dodgers league lead to a

Cincinnati could have re-

Next Tuesday responsible citizens will exercise
their duty and privilege of voting.
CATHOLIC CITIZENS vail do so with the know
ledge that the Fourth Commandment of God imposes
a moral obligation to exercise the electoral franchise.
A special word to urge all to vote is in order this
year because there may be a let-down after the large
turnout in last years presidential election.
OUR LOCAL OFFICIALS on the municipal and
county level are important ones and in many ways af-
feet our lives more than federal office holders. Each
candidate should be given due consideration with a
vote cast for the one who represents your view as the
best for the office.
In addition. Ohio electors will decide the fate of
1172 tax levies, 233 bond issues, and 1T miscellaneous
questions.
Voters in Franklin County will note the special
word offered by the Bishop on the welfare levy as in
dicated on page one.
ALL IN THE DIOCESE will be asked to vote on
five constitutional amendments passed by the Ohio
General Assembly this year. One asks our ratification
of the US. constitutional amendment to grant repre-
sentation in the Electoral College to the District of
Columbia. A second has to do with enrolment in the
state militia; another affects the advice and consent
of the Ohio senate; and another details requirements
for filling vacant seats in the Ohio senate.
AN MENDMEN receiving statewide attention
is Amended H.. J. R. % which will be known as issue
Number 2. 1t provides for the continuity Of govern
ment in periods of emergency resulting from disasters
caused by enemy attack.
T~hirty-tW0 state legislatures have approved this
amendment and 10 states have adopted it as part of
their Constitution. In Ohio the amendment was spon-
sored by bipartisan members of the 104th General
Assembly and did not receive any negative votes.
Civil Defense Organizations throughout the state and
country have asked that this matter be brought to
the attention of the voters.
IT CAN BE AID then that the only effective vot-
er, whether it be for candidates, levies, bond issues
or other questions, is the informed Voter.-GAF

Power And Glory

Last Sunday evening CHS television presented a
two-hour dramatization of Graham Greenes 1.-The
Power and the Glory"
MANY CATHOLICS WERE shocked at the por-
trayal of a whisky-drinking, cowardly priest who had
brought an i%llegitimate child into existence and who
dies, somewhat unwilhngly, as a martyr before the
firing squad.
We can see why many viewers would be offended
because many of the subtleties of Greene do not al
ways come through clearly at first hearing. Also, the
mass medium of television does not seem the best
for such an unsaVory story which was exposed to a
general audience at a prime time. 1t has also been
suggested that some outside the Church, notably the
prejudiced, would be confirmed In their opposition
by such a characterization.
THoSE WHO WERE so offended have every
right to register their reactions to station or network
as we trust they do when any program pleases or dis
pleases them. One viewer remarked that a program
would never dare present a Protestant minister or
Jewish rabbi In such a guise as the protests would be
SCATTERING.
May we point however that a few things can be
learned from this story which had its origin as a novel
in 1910, was made into a film in 1916 called "The
Fugitive" translated into a play at a later date and
was a "Play of the Week" from WCBS-TV in New
York City a year back.
THIS IS MENTIONED to defend the producers
from the charge of being anti-Catholic or communist
inspired. The work is Of contemporary dramatic in
terest.
SECONDLY, IT is a work of fiction whose pro-
tagonist is not the fallen priest but the priesthood
The author is saying that the priesthood is glorious
and deafness and no one Knows this better than the
two bad priests in the story.
Then, we should not allow anyone to infer that
this story tars all priests with the same brush as those
portrayed any more than one could say all Italian
immigrants are of the anne stripe as those racketeers
in the "Untouchables" or term all physicians addicts,
lawyers corrupt, or wives unfaithful as seen on our
TV screens.
FINALLY. WE MUST credit the fictional priest
In "The Power and the Glory" with some heroism for
he chose to stay and carry out his duties in a commune
Ctlr state when all other plnTirc pIthpr fled fho potIp-
try or renowned the priesthood to attempt marriage
and live as pensioners of the revolutionary government.
His spirit was willing, but the flesh weak. Even when
safe, he returned TO danger knowing it was a trap and
although afraid TO die, he faced execution nonetheless
with a prayer that God would send more worthy
priests to carry the torch of faith.
After his death the communist lieutenant almost
has to admit that perhaps the priest was right: Gods
work will go on despite His often sinful representa-
tives for as the officer says; "A priest has more lives
than there are bullets for my gun"
THERE ARE SOME points to be considered If
you feel that they are out-weighed by the evident OBJ
jections, that is for you TO decide. -GAF.

Sum and Substance:

other material and then ban
the possession or sale Of the
obscene item. But it's not so
simple as all that.
THE COURTS definition is
somewhat vague and indefi-
mite, in the opinion of many
lawyers. What are these con
temporary community stand
ards?" Are they the stand
ards of the whole country?
Or the standards of the par
ticular state where the mater
isl is sold? Or the standards
Of the local community, or
perhaps of the local neigh
borhood since the moral level
of neighborhoods does vary
considerably?
Does the Court refer only
to moral standards and has
it no interest in literary or
artistic standards? Does the
Court think that you should
use the same standards for
adults and children?
THEN AGAIN the Brennan
definition speaks of material
that appeals to prurient in
terest." What is this? Justice
Brennan praised the Ameri-
can Law Institutes Model
Penal Code when he wrote his
decision. That Code defines
"prurient interest" as a
shameful or morbid interest
in nudity, sex or excretion.
The definition doesn't help
much. 1t doesn't clarity the
difference between what is
merely vulgar and what is
shameful or morbid.

Why Hesitate To DenOunce
Communism, Reader Asks


Editor:
Are Americans being
led astray? Ii is a duty to
awaken our priests and
lay people to the awful
"anti-Christ" which is Com
munism. Surely we are not
expected to set aside Gods
commandments to help Satan
for Communism is nothing
more than Satan in hidden
form, do not hesitate to de-
nounce Satan. so why should
l hesitate to denounce Com
munism?
PERSONALLY experience
an agony of heart and mind
when Communism advances
in our city, state, govern
ment and education. and /
think our Lord must be SUI
fering too. | do believe in the
necessity of prayers but pray

IMPURE THOUGHTS are
violations of Gods law that
we confess in confession. The
civil law has no right to try
to control our thoughts but it
does have a right to attempt
to control our actions when
they endanger the common
good. When we talk about
suppressing obscenity, there
fore, we are talking about
Suppressing books, magazines
or other materials that cause
anti-social conduct such as
sexual assaults.
The big question is: does
reading obScenity cause acts
harmful to the general well
fare? On this point the psy-
chiatrists and psychologists
at the seminar could come to
no agreement.

social conduct.
