THE AMERICAN people in
their relief and humanitari-
an interests should in no way
unite with the communists or
include the communists in
their program. The fact that
the communists maintain posi-
tons in UNICEF is freely adj
mitted by UNICEF"s own Off
Gals. The most basic moral
principles of the Christian re-
Iigion require that Gods peo-
pie do not do business with
the Reds. The American Coun-
Gil believes that the time has
come when public-spi t d
American citizens should take
the lead in setting UP a pro-
gram with similar purposes to
UNICEF bat which will not
include the communists"

resolution. Americans must
wake up.

Theological Fallout

1t all began simply enough. Anticipating questions
brought ON by the threat of nuclear attack, Father
/. c. McHugh, 81, writing in the America Magazine
for September 30, 1861, outlined the traditional prin-
ciples of moral theology regarding the right of a man
to defend himself and his family against unjust ag-
gression.
FATHE eHUCH STARTED his discussion by
saying that he wanted to "show that sound Christian
morality does not solve moral problems by appeal to
sentiment, but by the cold light of reason"
The article, ethics at the Shelter Doorway
stated that moral theology has always taught a man
may use violence, even to inflicting wounds or death,
against unjust attack when it is the last available re-
course to defend his essential rights.
n POINT WAS ADDED that to say one has
the right to use violence does not mean he has the
duty TO do SO. However, the father of a family may
not decide such matters for himself alone, he has a
duty to provide protection for his family.
Applying these principles to a family fallout
shelter, the article taught: u If you are unattached and
wish to give up your shelter space to otherS-flne and
God bless you for being heroic. = A head of a fam
lily may not ~heedleSsly give up his familyS right to
self preservation; 3 If anothers entrance into a mans
shelter can be effected without danger to his own
family, he may admit them; Al However, if there is no
more space and others insist on forcing their way in
TO the danger Of a mans own family, or others have
occupied the shelter in advance, the individual may
use whatever force is necessary to preserve his own
life and those under his care.
THE REACTION WAS EXACTLY what Father
Mc1uBh tried 10 prevent. SenlmentalSm ran rlOl,
everybody and his brother has something to say. Even
experts in other fields, howled, like Margaret Mead i'll
last Sundays New York Times, who showed she had
better stay in anthropology when she wrote that no
one has the rightsto kill another to protect his own
family.
This is not. a pleasant subject. Moral Theology
deals here with what is permitted in a world where
original sin has marked us all. We are not talking of
Utopia where there would be no nuclear attacks or
selfish improvident aggressors; we are speaking of the
real world in which we live.
BUT MAN, TO BE rational, must be ruled by
principles and in an extreme situation as outlined,
the traditional moral code would apply. Of their very
nature principles do not change, even in the face of
the most horrible situations.
The current issue of America carries a positive
suggestion calculated to alay our fears. 1t urges that
shelters, if we need them, be built, whatever it takes.
If they are ready we won't have to concern ourselves
with aggressors at the doorway.
WE CAN SOLVE this moral problem by follow
ing our governments direction. If we are instructed
to build public and private shelters, let's do it and
quit crying over what might happen-GAF

Sum and Substance:
Invitations To The.
Coming Council
by FIR. John B. Sheerin, esp.

will not invite Pro4estants
and Orthodox as participants
with voting power, for the
Council is after all a domes-
tic affair of the Roman Cath
Ollie Church. Pope John has
made clear that this will not
be a reunion Council but a
Council for renewal of Catho-
lie life in preparation for
eventual union of all Chris
tians. The ProteStants and Or
thodox will be invited as OBJ
servers.
AS EARLY AS OCT. 10,
1859, Cardinal Tardini indicat-
ed the Vatican was contem-
plating such invitations and
Father Cougar had proposed
that contact committees of
Catholic and nOn-CathOllc the
olgians be established to hold
discussions during the time of
the Council. The proposed
committees would ascertain
Lutheran, Reformed and Or
thodox reaction to Council de-
crees before final acceptance
by the Council itself.
The Orthodox theologian,
Hamilcar Alivisatos of the
University of Athens, has ex-
planned why the Orthodox
would feel uncomfortable
about accepting an invitation
as delegates but would not
object to an invitation to at
tend as observers. They view
an Ecumenical Council as a
meeting of all the bishops of
the Church with equal voting
power on all questions.

Advent

The statement of the Bishops of the United
States, which was reported in last weeks edition, PIN
pointed the cause of the moral decline in our nation as
secularism. Under its influence" the statement said,
"men may not perhaps deny God; on formal occasions,
they may even mention His name. In practice how
ever, they simply ignore His existence"
n PROPHET sAIAs condemned a similar at
titude when he scourged Israel as a people "who hath
not known the Lord and His people, who hath not I'M
derSood. They have forsaken the Lord, they have
blasphemed the Holy One of Israel; they have gone
backwards"
These words are particularly appropriate as we
begin the season of Advent for the Church, like a
prophet of old, repeats the same message in peniten-
tial accents, purple hues, and solemn music.
THE WORLD TODAY, she tells us, is troubled
"for the whole head is sick and the whole heart is
sad" We must rise from sleep, deliver the world from
chaos. rescue souls from materialism, and save them
for Christ.
But we shall do this only by beginning to re-
form ourselves through more intense prayer and NOR
LITIGATION, by casting off the works of darkness and
putting on the Lord Jesus Christ
This is the role Of Advent. It is a season TO pre-
pare our souls for the coming Of the Christ Child on

to modern life. Every Catho-

U. S. Withdrawal From
LILO. Would Do Harm
by Msgr. George G. Higgins

Three weeks ago | be-
gan my SERIES of columns
on the international La
Dor Organization with a
defense of the LILO and
will end this week on the
same note.
The HO has been an ex-
tremely controversial subject
in the United States for many
years, but critics Of the organ
ization picked up steam in
1854 when the Soviet Union,
being automatically entitled
as a member of the United
Nations to rejoin the no,
attended the annual confer
ence as a member of the or
ganization. The Soviet Union
had earlier been a member
of the ILO but had left it be-
fore World War Ii. Satellite
nations not already members
Joined the LILO at about the
same time.
The return of the commun-
lists and their use of the In
ternational Labor Organiza-
ton as a propaganda forum
were largely the basis for the
suggestion that perhaps the
game was not worth the cam
die as far as the United States
was concerned and that may
be we should retire from par
ticipation.
THE WHOLE QUESTION

no was thoroughly explored
in 1856 by an investigative
committee appointed by the

THEY CLAIM THAT the
the assembled bishops alone
have the right to make final
decisions on faith and morals
and their decisions, accept
ed by the whole Church
are infallible. Therefore they
repudiate the right of the
Pope to make final decisions
on faith and morals.
Whereas we Catholics be-
lieve that the primacy of the
Pope, his jurisdiction over all
other bishops, is a revealed
truth, the Orthodox deny it.
They claim that this notion
of the primacy of the bishop
of Rome comes not from the
Gospel but is simply the out
growth of "the monarchial
conception of ecclesiastical
authority dominant in the
West"
AS EAsTERNERs, they
view all bishops as having
equal jurisdiction. They are
willing to concede a certain
special prestige to the See of
Rome but they will only go as
far as to acknowledge the
Pope as first among equals"
If the Orthodox, therefore,
were invited to attend as act
ual participating delegates,
they would undoubtedly re-
fuse. For attendance in this
role would mean they were
tacitly accepting a doctrine
they reject. They would be
violating their conscienees.
But as observers they are mere

Since Protestant and
Orthodox representatives
were invited to the First
Vatican Council, it is only
logical to expect that they
would be invited to the Sec
ond Vatican Council. 1t is true
they refused to attend the 9th
er Vatican Council but the
religious situation has chang
ed so radically since 1870 that
their earlier attitude cannot
be taken as an indication of
their sentiments today.
THE CENTRAL Preparatory
Committee voted two weeks
ago on this question of send
ing out invitations to separ-
ated Christians to attend the
Council. The Commissions
press office said no announce
ment of the results of the
voting would be made but
apparently the news leaked
out" Two Italian papers stat
ed, and the New York Herald
Tribune said it was the con-
sensus of Vatican opinion
that the Committee had voted
in favor of inviting both the
Orthodox and the Protestants.
OF COURSE, this secret
ballot at the closed meeting
of the 102 Cardinals and other
prelates is not decisive: the
Holy Father must approve.
The general assumption, how
is that he will want to invite
separated Christians, especial
ly the Orthodox.

also find models in his older

friends, in good school teach

A GIRL SHOULD BE ABLE
to identify with mother. She
should want the warm mother
illness which her mother ex-

The next thing is to encour-
age pride in their sex. A boy
should be happy to be a boy
and a girl happy and proud
to be a girl. All mutual recrim-
nations such as tits a
mans world" and "Girls get
away with a lott" should be
corrected. Each sex has its
own qualities and its own diff
ficulties. The acceptance and
enjoyment of ones own sex
is very important in happy
self development.
IT Is ALSO IMPORTANT
that the boy or girl have
some norms absorbed from
their observation so that they

ment of femininity is pin

Making Marriage Click
Teaching Difference
Between The Sexes
by Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

According to the die
tionary sex is the quality
of being male or female.
AS applied to human be-
ingS, l do not feel that
this is at all an accurate defin-
ition. The words male or fe-
male can be applied without
variation of meaning to plants,
to animals. to human beings.
WE WANT a
man or woman to be different
in their sex from the mere
brute. Further, il the designa-
ton of maleness or female
ness is to be applied to the
animal Or to the human be-
ing without variation then,
just as for the animal, any
male or female will do to
meet sexual needs.
Humanity is unwilling to
admit this. This phenomena
of human love enters there.
Poems have been written,
songs sung, crimes committed,
wars fought, and laws passed
if proof that love demands a
very special partner.
SINCE MAN is so different
from the animal we propose
that sex be defined as 'the
quality Of being masculine or
feminine" Masculinity or fem
Unity is not something that
extends merely to the body of
the human being but also to
his Or her emotions, mind,

@. Since so many parents

A, Pope Plus XI warned
against sex education and
Christian ideals. The schools
might well offer some in
structien in lis proper place
in courses in biology but sex
education (see Parents. Chill
dren and the Facts of Life
which is in the Image serles)
is proper to parents. AS Pope
Plus ri stated it parents are
the ones who hold from God
the commission to teach and
have the grace of state" and
they are best able to put sex
instruction in the proper set
ting of right morals and Chris
tian ideals, Ii parents neglect

many parents do-interested
educators and leaders should
try to encourage the par
ents and educate them
to do their duty. AS many so
biologists and social workers
place great emphasis on the
place of parents as opposed TO
institutions (e.g. in the use
of foster homes for orphansl
it should be stressed that the
right place for this intimate
land long-range) process is in
the home. In private sessions
a responsible and trained per-
son could well supplement- or
even take the place of par
entail efforts. But as practical
iy all authors agree sex
education should begin in
early childhood and continue
until the child's marriage. The
parents of young children
should be aware of this duty.
