Pope Johns Optimism,
Lesson For World

a devout member of the

tone - its tone of quiet and
reassuring Christian optimism
and unaffected benevolence
so characteristic of its author.
IN VIEW OF WORLD con-
ditions, one would not have
been greatly surprised if the
encyclical had taken a rather
dismal and pessimistic view
of the immediate future. The
fact is, however, that Pope
John is profoundly optimistic
in the face of problems which
might have tempted a lesser
man to throw up his hands in
despair. "0ur era" he says,
sis penetrate d and shot
through by radical errors, it
is torn and upset by deep dis
orders. Nevertheless, it is al
so an era in which immense
possibilities for good are
opened to the Church"
The Holy Fathers optimism
is notably apparent in his
treatment of the profound
transformations" which have
taken place in recent decades
in the field of science, tech
nology and economics. in the
social field, and, finally, in
the field of politics. His com
prehensive listing of these
transformations shows that
he has a thorough understand
ing of the modern world.

United Appeal

This week the United Appeal Campaign gets I'M
der way IN Columbus and Franklin County.
similar campaigns are conducted now or at other
times in the counties in the Diocese.
CITIZENS r ASKED in these drives to share
our material. resources with those of the community
need help in health and welfare, recreation and
youth services
In. Franklin County the goal this year has been
at S3,701 900 to help support 65 different services
in the field of public welfare and health.
: THE 1861 GOAL IS $240 thousand over last year,
but even at that level it is the MINIMUM needed to pre-
vent ~crippling setbacks in caring for the needs. AS a
matter of fact, the present goal is short by $500 thou
sand of meeting the actual needs in. Franklin County.
Itcan be seen then that meeting this years goal
is absolutely essential Bishop lsSenmann's letter on
this, published in last weeks TIMES. urged Catholics
mot only to give to the appeal, but where possible, to
help actively in the solicitation phase of the cam
paign
; This support of United Appeal is a natural con-
sequence of our citizenship. Moreover, we all share
in the proceeds Of the appeal profiting as we do by
the services of such agencies as the Red Cross, Boy
Scouts, Day Nurseries, and our District Nurses
AS THE BISHOP pointed out, this years appeal
has special meaning with many of our young men be
ing called into service. They will be served by USO
and the National Catholic Community Service and our
support of United Appeal helps those agencies.
THREE CATHOLIC agencies benefit directly
from United Appeal. They are the Catholic Welfare
Bureau, Rosemont School, and st. Stephens Communi-
4y House who have made requests this year to total
$241 ,51400. Agencies in other counties receive SINH
lar support.
This gives us many reasons for supporting the
1861 VA campaign. But the chief reason must be that
we are interested in helping our fellow man simply
because he needs it. This is the kind of love Christ
taught: "A NEW commandment / give you, that you
love one another as ! have loved you."-CAF

T@xnew television season is under way. 1t looks
pretty Mlch like last years programming with fewer
tbut rbnger) westerns, more detective and police
stories, some different comedies and some new series
on medical themes.
ONE OF THE MATTERS for concern in last
years programfning was the high incidence of vio-
lence, especially during the prime viewing hours.
AUS. Senate Staff Study last June showed that
between 4 and 10 pm. on weekday nights 81 per-
cent Of the programs featured crime and violence.
In 1854 the ratio Of such programs to the overall pic
ture was % percent.
WHO is RESPONSIBLE for the violence? The
producers of course. But TV ratings also indicate that
the viewers want this kind of program. And this des-
pite the evidence that many programs OF this nature
have i'll effects on our children and young people.
Now we don't want to rule out violence as a dra-
matte theme altogether In a recent issue of TV Guide,
Mickey Spillane (of all people, made a good point
when he said violence is part of life and therefore
part of drama, but it should be suggested or control
led rather thar, exploited. This treatment even makes
for more effective drama because muted violence has
all the tension OF a time bomb which may explode at
any time.
Another point TO watch is the murky philosophy in
some offerings. One of the most-touted new programs
is "fhe Defender which features a court room at
mosphere.
1T IS WELL WRITTEN and acted, but the first
two programs dealt with a mixed-up treatment of
mercy killing and the decision OF man to go to Jail
voluntarily for a murder of which he was neither
morally nor legally guilty on the premise that we all
share in societys crimes. This kind of philosophy is
dangerous, because it is confused. The program has
many good points but such things should be pointed
out.
ALL THIS IS BY A of saying that we should
be discriminating in our choice of TV programs and
critical of their content. Parents especially, should
exercise vigilance and prudence over the TV fare
viewed by their children. CAT
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-10-06

but so often we hear parents
say that their children are too
young to understand. The
youngest child can understand
the deepest mystery of his
Faith, perhaps even more cas-
lily than the distracted adult.
His innocence and reason have
not been confused with a hun
dred and one things which are
presented to adult minds ev-
cry day.
WITH THE PROPER train
ing he will find no Difficult
ty to speak familiarly and con-
tinually with God. Guardian
angels will become easy conf

church will become a delight

derStands the crucifix in his
room much more easily than
the confused adult who fears
that he will disturb the child.
God does not want immature
children in the world. He real
ly wants adults in the world,
so He gives a helpless little
infant to parents to be UNI
folded. Pope Plus XII has said,
parents are absolutely for
hidden to leave undone what
they have begun in begetting
a child"

techniques, but no one can

today, as ever, God and the
world are both reckoning TO
the soul, Christ and the devil
are both calling to it.
The flabby and fat, the de-
cadent and satisfied Christian,
the man who avoids every
hardship with a neat rationale
cation - such will never go
down to the depths of life
in Christ and will never see
and feel in the twinkling Of
an eye what it would take
years to explain.
THE ROAD TO the depths,
says Malik, is the Gospel. 1t

incidence that the present re-
vival of Bible reading and
scholarship among Catholics
comes at a moment of world
crisis. Grounded in the Cos
pei and its infinite amplitude,
struggling daily at the depths,
communing daily with the
saints in what Christ con-
cretely meant to them, and
living daily the active and re-
sponsible life of the church
with all its commitments and
all its sacraments - such a
person alone can comprehend
what is really happening to-
day"
Malik, moreover. views the
ecumenical movement from a

are, partly by the direct pres

by the increasing pressure of

that our children are not In

ually we are an underdevelop-

Whether parents are educat-

VOLlTIoNAL TRAINING
means the training of the will.
IT means the inculcation of
virtue. The only way to train
in virtue is to give a maximum
pattern of motivation TO the
child. A child should try to
be good out of love for par
ents, in order to avoid punish
ment, to achieve praise, in or
der to become a big boy or
girl, to win the regard of 9th
er boys and girls, to love God
above all things.
Whatever is in any way a
good motive for action should
be presented to the child.
Only by desiring the good
from every possible point of
view can they build UP in
themselves habits of virtue.

Who Is Lord

today are coming to realize
keenly that Christ the Lord
of the world, stands in judg-
ment upon history and rightly
so for ''all things were made
by Him and without Him was
made nothing that was
made"
Malik said that the Chris
tan knows that the whole
world is in revolution, that
the political, economic and in
ternational orders are diSsolv-
ing because they do not con-
form to the mind of Christ,
and what does not conform to
the mind of Christ must dis
solve and disappear" All
about us the world is in vio-
lent flux but these revolutions
are sweeping away the jerry
built structures of our civil
cation as hurricane Carla
swept away shanties in Texas
towns.
OUR VERSIONS of de-
mocracy are being sorely
tried, our free enterprise is
being regulated, restricted,
limited, our military power is
constantly being rendered inn
potent by chronological adj
vances, our PHILOSOPHERS such
as humanism and positivism
are becoming outworn and
wearisome items in history
books.
THE CHRISTIAN, however,
really understands what is
happening - if he is a real
Christian. To be a real Chris
tian, according to Malik, is to

unless, of course, the person
has committed a mortal sin.
Then he must go to confes-

Communion. A frequent com
municant could go to Holy
Communion for weeks without
confession otherwise. 1t is rec
commended, however, that such
a person go to confession ev-
cry two or three weeks or at
least once a month. It is a
mark of respect for the Eu-

Catholic should want the

not be considered as merely

What is education? The
world comes from a Latin
term which means to
educe or unfold. Educa-
ton means the unfold
ing of all the potential of a
child. Yet, the unfolding must
come both from within and
from without.
This means that a child must
be unfolded by allowing his
potentialS to grow and en-
couraging the physical, emo
tionaI, intellectual, volitional,
social and religious areas.
FORTUNATELY, for years
we haven been taking care of
the physical needs of our chill
dren, keeping them warm and
well fed, but their emotional
needs are frequently not met.
1t is important that a child
learn to adequately express
land neither over or under
express) all the emotions.
Every human emotion is
good-love, affection, anger,
fear, shame, etc. Only when
the emotion is violently out Of
proportion to the thing which
should cause it, or when it is
refused expression, is the
emotional development of the
child harmed.
TO SAY, II WANT to raise
my child without any fear or
any shame" is to desire a
monster! Adequate fear keeps
your child from under the
wheels of automobiles. AIDE
quate shame or guilt makes
