Berlin

A TV commentator last week remarked that the
picture of the fully uniformed East German police
man jumping over the barbed-wire barricades to the
freedom of West Berlin should be p~lastered on the
walls of the cities of the world.
THE OFFICER REPRESENTED thousands upon
thousands who have fled the Workers Paradise" UNI
with a concrete wall.
The flight of the East German refugees is not
only a dramatic but an effective denial of the new
Soviet plan for a communist Utopia in the world of
the future.
CERTAINLY THE EVENTS of the Berlin crisis
again point out in a graphic manner that Communism
Is the enemy of human freedom and that it stands for
oppression.
Some have said this is one of the biggest mistakes
the Soviets have made. They believe this tactic will
hurt the cause of Communism a great deal.
WE WOULD only OFFER a word of caution
here. The Berlin situation is, as we know, explosive
and dangerous. We must not let up on the pressure
against the Soviets for a minute.
We must not be led into even the slightest bit of
Complacency by thinking we have an advantage. We
must use every means to bring this matter to some
sort of just solution.
n COMMUNISTS are cunning and resourceful.
They are experienced in turning any situation to their
own advantage. They are not ~hampered by moral
judgments of human scruples.
So the Free World must move prudently by acting
as wise as serpents." But most of all, ii is a time
for special prayer to storm heaven for divine guidance
and blessing. There alone lies the hope for peace.

S
Cardinal C~icognani

The office of Vatican Secretary of State is surely
most important to the welfare of the Church and the
world.
THE MAN WHO HOLDS this responsibility is
concerned with bridging the Church and the world.
And with him the Holy Father shares the tremendous
burden of the Kingdom of Christ on earth.
The office of Secretary of State is always i'm
portant in history, but more so today when the church
is involved as never before in the lives of all men. The
basic struggle today concerns the soul of man and is
fought on spiritual grounds to determine who shall
reign: Christ or Satan?
THE APPOINTMENT OF His Eminence, Amleto
Cardinal C~icognani, to this high office cannot but
be welcomed by Catholics all over the world. A cursory
glance at his background and experience confirms the
wisdom of the Holy Fathers choice.
BUT CATHOLICS in the United States have special
cause for being pleased. For Is years Cardinal
Cicognani represented the Holy See in Washington
as Apostolic Delegate so he knows and loves this
country well. During that time our Catholic population
almost doubled and he personally consecrated So
American Bishops to lead the everincreasing flock
of Christ.
One of his duties as Apostolic Delegate was acting
as Ordinary of the Pontifical College Josephinum in
Worthington. Cardinal C~icognani always had a special
delight in the Josephinum above and beyond any
official interest. He graced the seminary with his pre-
sence frequently and ordained priests there TO serve
the Church throughout the United States.
Cardinal Cicognani also had many occasions to
visit the Bishops of Columbus. His close association
with the late Bishop Ready is well known.
HIS APPOINTMENT then is a cause for JOY to us
as Catholics, as Americans, and members of the Do
cese of Columbus. May we show our gratitude by of
fering prayers that he may spend many fruitful years
as Secretary of State. -GAF

Pope Johns encyclical,

There is no reason TO sup

Some years ago there
was a campaign in Europe
by Women's magazines
to tighten the work for
the mother at home. They
suggested an eight-hour day,
new household budgets, more
planned recreation, and so
on. They found the results,
however, very disappointing.
MANY O M Dlscov-
Erred that in trying to work
by the clock they were frus-
trated and unhappy; hus-
bands complained that family
life had taken on a sad and
impossible rhythm. The house,
the family, work, play, week
days, Sundays were all over
organized. One thing that the
efficiency experts had failed
to realize was that house
wifery was not another tech
nical job.
To a real Christian woman
housekeeping is no nuisance
something to get out of the
way as soon as possible. A
housewife is not a servant.
Housewifery is a great pro-
fessiOn. 1t requires as great a
competency and technique as
do many of the professions.
1t certainly deserves as great,
if not greater, attention than
most of the reputed profes-
Sions.

O. Does the Church permit

our
A. Ordinarily not. A divorc-
ed person is a married person
and a date is therefore the
same as going out with some
one eIse's husband or wife.
There might be some extra
ordinary circumstances, which
would justify an occasional
social engagement, especially
if it is a group activity or
some obviously innocent en-
tertainment. To 60 out often
with such a person, however,
would certainly be putting
oneself in the occasion of sin,
even the most innocent as
ISOLATION can get out of hand.
In doubtful cases a Catholic
should ask advice of the con-
lessor. In charity some effort
could well be made to draw
such a person into wholesome
parish activities and group
programs, so that his diff
cult state will not be an occa-
sion of sin or Encouragement
for him.

The fundamental principle
of communism, as summar-
lied in the new Program of
the Soviet Communist Party,
is completely different from
that of Christianity. In the
communist scheme of things,
man is purely a creature OF
time. He has no eternal, super
natural destiny. His rights,
such as they are, derive not
from God but from the within
of his political masters. He
is not the end and the sub
iect of the institutions in
which social life is carried on.
He is, rather, an instrument
of society or, more accurate
ly, of the communist appar-
atus.

HE SHOWED THAT THE
