Over the past several years,
a man named Roy a. Torcaso
of Wheaton, Maryland, has
tried to obtain for himself
authorization as a notary
public. He insisted, however,
that he did not believe in
God and, therefore, he had
some difficulty requiring that
those who came before him
should swear to the truth of
their statements before God.
THE SUPREME COURT
held recently that the Mary
land constitution was uncon-
stitutional in requiring a
declaration Of belief in God as
a condition for holding public
office.
This ruling, despite its
superficial appearance of be-
ing ungodly, is to be very
much welcomed. The state of
Maryland itself has declared
from the very beginning that
there should be no religious
test for public office. It is
required that men assume

We are indebted to Monsignor John M. Oester-
reicher, director of the Institute of Judeao-Christian
Studies at Seton Hall University for sending us a state
ment made more than a month ago by the Catholic
Bishops of Germany but lost by most of the news media
in their rush to report the grisly details of the Eich-
mann trial.
THE STIRRING TESTIMONIES at the trial force
us to ponder anew what it was that made that horrible
dissertation of human dignity, that destruction of count
less human lives. possible" the German hierarchy
said. These things happened because the political
leadership of our people presumed to abrogate the
eternal laws of God"
WE IN H UNITED STATES as we'll as peoples
in other lands would do well to study this reminder -
The Laws of God transcend any socalled Estates
rights. When the two conflict is the man-made
manifesto which must 60, or else, as in NaztGermany,
human degradation becomes the rule, rather than
the exception.
But as the German Bishops said it is not enough
to merely be reminded but we must make amends, not
only materially, but to also ask Ged's forgiveness and
to beg for the spirit of peace and reconciliation"
n BISHOPS CALLED on all men and women
in conscience to resist every new attempt to do
away with Gods commandments, every attempt to
j%eopardize again the dignity and the rights of men,"
This, as we have said, is appropriate not only
for Germany but for any land, including our own,
where ii may seem more e%xpedient or cause 'less ten
sion" TO overlook in whose image and likeness a man
is created - regardless Of race, creed or color.
We can all pray to God as the German Bishops
urged their people:
Make US, and all men, understand more and more
that we must love each other as thy Son loved US"
So be it. 49, def.

WHAT DOES lT MEAN to
be a Catholic? Does it mean.
that we must have a party
loyalty to the Church and a
readiness to fight to protect
the vested interests of the
Church? Do we belong to the
Mystical Body or to a private
club? To be Catholic means
first of all to love God, and
second-to love the neighbor.
One of the great problems
facing the Church in the
United States is the large
number of Catholics who have
thrown over this fundamen-
tai bedrock belief and have
succumbed to the prevailing
notions Of their social class.
They do not accept this teach
ing of love of neighbor or
else they do not accept the
Negro as neighbor. They do
not really believe that all
persons are children of God,
whose intrinsic value and
personal dignity are equal
before God.

COnvicts Are Human

Most people finch al the word Convict" 1t inn

vicious, rough-looking character who thriVes on

Young hoodlums today think il an achievement
to be sent TO prison because they look up TO the con-

1t is tragic that these young men have such a dis

Miss Ayn Rand, a phil

being lionized these days
on the ultra-conServ"tive
lecture circuit, contends
in her latest book that Ameri-

We have come to the end of

Will History
Repeat?

In his recent book, Russia
and the West, Ambassador
George KEENAN, recalls a cir
cumStance forgotten by many
people: that the Russian
Revolution was not brought
about by the Communists.
The collapse Of the then ex-
listing regime was entirely
due to its own grievous de-
fects and its mortal inability
10 correct them.
AFTER THIS COLLAPSE,
and for almost the whole of
1917, political groups, MAIN
ed and stunted by the old re-
gime, tried to compose their
differences and fill the
vacuum. They failed. II was
not until the second collapse
that there was the necessary
breach, the point OF entry, for
the forces Of evil and for that
diabolically close parody of
social order presented by in
ternational communism.
LATIN AMERICAN couN-
TRIES are not, at the present
time, exposed to the strains
of a world war as was Russia
in 1917, but otherwise many
are in almost the same Situa-
ton as pre.revolutionary Rus
STA. As Senior Eduardo Fret
Montalya, president of the
Chilean Christian Democratic
party, said recently, 1.-THE
present order is essentially
unjust. The restlessness
and instability are not the
result OF preaching by some
agitatorS nor of communist
action. They are the result of
hunger, unemployment, power
ty without a future"
OF course, the effort must
fundamentally be made by
the Latin Americans them
selves but the outcome con-
Germs us all. The Marshall
Plan, for the ALLEGATION Of
American funds to European
countries through the Euro
pean Economic Organization,
was a considerable success.
