THERE ARE THREE pos
sible ways of misinterpreting
what the encyclical has to say
about specialization. The first
would be to confuse socializa-
ton with socialism. The sec
ond, which is similar to the
first, would be to equate
specialization exclusively with
governmental action. The
third would be to equate
Specialization exclusively with
voluntary action by non-gov-
ernmental organizations or as
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-09-15

sociations, thus ruling out al
most every kind of govern
mental action.
THE FIRST TWO mistakes
are more likely to be made
by extreme liberals who do
not subscribe to the principle
of subsidiarity according to
which "it is gravely wrong
to take from individuals what
they can accomplish by their
own initiative and industry
and give it to the community"
and it is "also an injustice
and at the same time a grave
evil and disturbance Of right
order to assign to a greater
and higher association what
lesser and subordinate organl-
cations can do"
THE THIRD MISTAKE is
more likely to be made by
ultra-conservatives who inter-
pref the principle of sub
sidiarity so rigidly as almost
to exclude the possibility Of
effective governmental action.
To make this mistake would
be to ignore the numerous
references in the encycllcal
to legitimate governmental
programs in the field of social
welfare and social reform.
IN SUMMARY, THE new
encyclical, in favoring social
cation, with the qualifications
above, is giving its blessing,
first and foremost, but not
exclusively, to voluntary pro-
grams in the field of social
reform and welfare. Govern
mental programs-for exam
pie, social security = are also
commended in so far as they
are in harmony with the prin-
ciple of subsidiarity.
