Greater Efficiency i'm
Temporal Affairs

In temporal affairs and instItu-
tons, whenever an aWareness of
values and supernatural ends is
secured, there is at the same time
a strengthening of their power
to achieve their immediate speci-
fic ends. The words of Our Divine
Master are still. true: Seek We,
therefore, first the kingdom of
God and His justice: and all these
things shall be added unto yOu,"
children of the light.
The fundamental demands Of
justice are more securely grasped
i'm the most difficult and corn
pick regions Of temporal affairs,
namely those in which selfish
IS - individual, group or racial
often caUses thick clouds OF
darkness. When one is animated
by the charity Of Christ one feels
united TO others, and the needs,
suffering and Joys of others are
felt as ones own.
Consequently, the action of
each one, no matter what the OBJ
~jective or what the circumstances
in which it may be realized, can
not help being more disinterested,
more energetic and more human
because charity sis patient, is
kind seeketh not her own
reioiceth not in iniquity, but re-
jOiceth with the truth hopeth
all things, endureth all things"
Living Members IN the Mystical
Body of Christ
We cannot conclude u en-
cyclical without recalling another
sublime truth and reality, namely
that we are living members of
the Mystical Body of Christ, which
is His Church:
"For as the body is one and
hath nnAny members; and all the
members of the body, whereas
they are many, yet are one body:
50 also is Christi
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-08-04

In what We have briefly ex-
posed above, ii would be an error
if Our sons, especially the laity,
should consider it more prudent
to lessen their personal Christian
commitment in the world. Rather
should they renew and increase
it.
Our Lord, in fhe sublime pray
er for the unity of the Church did
not ask the Father TO take His
own from the world but TO pre-.
serve them from evil: II pray not
that thou shouIdsf take them out
of the world, but that thou shoUldst
keep them from evil"
VIZ should not create an artifi.
cial opposition between the per-
lection of ones W being and
ones personal active presence in
the world, as if a man could not
perfect himself except by putting
aside all temporal ACTIVITY and as
if. whenever such action is done,
a man is inevitably led to COM
promise his personal dignity as a
human being and as a believer.
Instead of this being so, it is
perfectly in keeping with the plan
of Divine Providence that each
one develop and perfect himself
through his daily work, which for
almost all human beings is of a
temporal nature. Today, the
Church is confronted with the i'm
mense task of giving a human
and Christian note to modern
civilization, a note that is required
and is almost asked for by that
civilization itself for its further
development and even for its con-
tinued existence.
AS WE HAVE already empha-
sized, the Church fulfillS this mis-
sion through her lay sons, who
should thus feel pledged to carry
on their professional activities as
the fulfillment of a duty, as the
performance of a service in in
ternal union with God and with
Christ and for His glory. AS St.
Paul points out. Whether you
eat or drink, or whatsoever else
you do, do all for the glory of
God" and 'all whatsoever you do
in word or in work, do all in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
giving thanks to God and the
Father by Him"
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-08-04

We invite with paternal urgen-
cy all Our sons belonging to either
the clergy or the laity to be deep.
ly conscious of this dignity and
nobility due to the fact that they
are grated onto Christ as shoots
on a vine: Il am the vine and
you are the branches" And they
are thus called to live by His very
life. Hence, when one carries On
ones proper activity, even if it be
OF temporal nature, in union with
Jesus the Divine Redeemer, every
work becomes a continuation of
His work and penetrated with Re-
demptive power: HE that abideth
in me, and | in him, the same
beareth much fruit"
1t thus becomes a work which
contributes to ones personal super
natural perfection and helps to
extend to others the fruits of the
Redemption and leavens with the
ferment of the Gospel the civiliza-
ton in which one lives and works.
OUR ERA is penetrated and
shot through by radical errors, it
is torn and upset by deep dis
orders. Nevertheless, it is also an
era in which immense possibilities
for good are opened to the Church.
Beloved brethren and sons, the
review which in union with you
We have been able to make of
the various problems of modern
social life from the dawn of the
teaching of Pope Leo XIII has
been, as it were, an unfolding of
a series Of statements and resolves
on which We invite you to dwell
and mediate deeply. Take cour-.
age in the cooperation of all for
the realization on earth of the
Kingdom of Christ. 1t is "a king
dom of truth and of life; a king
dom of holiness and grace: a king
dom of justice, of love and of
peace" which assures the enjoy
ment of the heavenly goods for
which we were created and for
which we long.
Here one is concerned with the
doctrine of the Catholic and
Apostolic Church, mother and
teacher of all the nations, whose
light illumines, enkindles and in
flames, whose warming voice
filled with heavenly wisdom per.
tains to all times, whose power
ever offers efficacious and suit
able remedies for the increasing
needs of men and for the depriv.
atoms and anxietieS of the pres
ent life. That voice is in union
with that of the Psalmist of old
which increasingly fortifies and
lifts up our minds: Il will hear
what the Lord will speak in me:
for he will speak peace unto his
people: and unto His saints: and
unto them that are converted to
the heart. Surely his salvation is
near to them that fear him: that
glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth have met each
other: Justice and peace have
kissed. Truth is sprung out of the
earth; and justice hath looked
down from heaven. For the Lord
will give goodness: and our earth
shall yield her fruit. Justice shall
walk before him: and shall set his
steps in the way"
Such is the desire thar We make
in ending this letter. to which We
have for a considerable time given
our solieitude for the Universal
Church. We desire that fhe Divine
Redeemer of men. who of God
is made unto US wisdom and Jus.
fice and specification and re-
demption," may reign and triumph
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-08-04

ALI, our predecessor, Elgntly as
serted that our age is marked by
"a clear contrast between the i'm
mense scientific and technical pro-
gress and the fearful human de-
cline shown by sits monstrous
masterpiece" of "transf forming
man into a giant of the physical
world at the expense of his spirit,
which is reduced to that of a
pygmy in the supernatural and
eternal world"
Once again there is verified to-
day, in a most striking manner,
what was asserted of the pagans
by the Psalmist: "men forget their
own being in their works and ad-
mire their productions to the point
of idolatry: the idols of the Gen
tiles are silver and gold, the works
Of the hands of men"
Recognition of and Respect for
the Hierarchy of Values
In Our paternaI care as Univer-
sal Pastor of Souls, We urgently
invite Our sons to take care that
they keep alive and active an
awareness of a hierarchy of values
as they carry on their temporal
affairs and seek their immediate
ends.
Certainly, the Church has taught
and always teaches that scientific
technical progress and the result
ant material welI-being are truly
good and, as such. mark an i'm
porfsnt phase in human ciViliza-
tion. Nevertheless, these things
should be valued according TO their
true worth. namely. as instruments
or means used TO achieve more
effectively a higher end, that of
facilitating and promoting the
spiritual perfection of mankind,
both in the natural and the super
natural order.
We desire that the warning
words of the Divine Master should
ever sound in the ears of men:
For what doth it profit a man,
if he gain the whole world and
suffer the loss of his own soul?
Or what exchange shall a man
give for his soul?"
Sanctification of HoIydays
To safeguard the dignity of man
as a creature endowed with a soul
formed in the image and likeness
of God, the Church has always
demanded an exact observance of
the third precept of the decalogue:
Remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath day" God has a right
to demand of man that he dedicate
a day of the week to worship, in
which the spirit, free from material
preoccupationS, can lift itself up
and open itself by thought and by
love to heavenly things, examining
in the secret of its conscience its
obligatory and necessary relations
towards its Creator.
In addition, man has the right
and even the need TO rest in or
der 20 renew the bodily strength
used up by hard daily work, TO
give suitable recreation to the
senses and TO promote domestic
unity. which requires frequent con-
tacf and q peaceful living together
of all the members of the family.
Consequently, religion, morality
and hygiene, all unite in the law
of periodic repose which the
Church has for centuries translat.
ed into the sanctification of Sun
day through participation in the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, a
memorial and application of the
redemptive work of Christ for
souls.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-08-04

1T rs "pafFIcuIaTlF important TnaT
youth be made TO dwell often on
these three stages and as far as
possible reduce them TO action.
The knowledge acquired in This
way is not merely abstract ideas
but is something TO be translated
into deeds.
In the applications of doctrine
there can arise even among up
right and sincere Catholics diff
f~erences of opinion. When this
happens, they should be watchful
to keep alive mutual esteem and
respect and should strive to find
points Of agreement for effica-
cious and suitable action. They
should not exhaust themselves in
interminable discussions, and, un-
der the pretext of the better or the
best, omit doing the good that is
possible and is thus obligatory.
Catholics in their economic-sO-
ci&l activities often find them
selves in close contact with others
who do not share their view of
life. In these circumstances, Our
sons should be very careful that
they are consistent and never
make compromises On religion and
morals. At the same time let them
show themselves animated by a
spirit of understanding and disin-
terestedness, ready to cooperate
Loyalty in achieving detectives
that of their nature are good or
at least reducibie to good.
IT is CLEAR, however, that
when the Hierarchy has made a
decision on the point at issue,
Catholics are bound to obey their
directives, because the Church has
the right and obligation not mere
ly to guard ethical and religious
principles, but also to intervene
authoritatively in the temporal
sphere when it is a matter of
Judging the application of these
principles TO concrete cases.
Manifold Action and
Responsibility
From instruction and education
) one must pass to action. This is a
task that belongs particularly to
: Our Sons, the laity, since in virtue
of their condition of life they are
constantly engaged in activities
and in the formation of institu-
tons that in their ~finality are
temporal.
In performing such a noble
task, il Is essential that Our IONS
be professionally qualified and
carry on their occupation in o n
formitY with IFS own proper laws
in order to secure effectively the
desired ends. II is equally neees.
sary, however, that they act with
in the framework Of the principles
and direetives of Christian social
!. teaching and in an attitude of
{ loyal trust and filiai obedience
TO ecclesiastical authority.
Let them remember that when
in the execution of temporal af-
fairs they do not follow the prin-
ciples and directives of Christian
social teaching, not only do they
fail in their obligations and often
violate the rights of their breth-
rem, but they can even cast into
: discredit that very doctrine which,
) in spite of its intrinsic value,
seems to be lacking in a truly
directive power.
a Grave Danger
AS we have already noted,
modern man has greatly deep
. ened and extended his knowledge
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-08-04

truth, whose objective is justice
and whose driving force is love.
Hence We stress the fact that
IN is of the greatest importance
that Our beloved sons not only
know this social doctrine bot THAT
they be educated according 10 it.
Christian education should be
complete in extending itself to
every kind of obligation. Hence
it should strive to implant and fos.
ter among the faithful an aware
ness of their obligation to carry
on their economic and social activl-
ties in a Christian manner.
The transition from theory to
practice is of its very nature diff
cult. And this is especially true
when one tries TO reduce to con
crete terms on a social doctrine
such as that of the Church. II is
difficult on account of the deep
rooted selfishness of human be-
ings, the materialism with which
modern society is stepped and the
difficulty of singing out precise
ly the demands of justice in par
tlcular cases.
CONSEQUENTLY, it is not
enough for this education that
men be taught their social obliga-
tiQns. They must also be given
by practical action the methods
that will enable them to fulfill
these duties.
A Task for Associations of
the A~postolafe of the Laity
Education TO act in a Christian
manner in economic and social
matters will hardly succeed unless
those being educated play an ac-
tive role iii their own formation,
and unless the education is also
carried on through action.
Jusf as one cannot acquire Fhe
right use of liberty except by using
liberty correctly, so one learns
Christian behavior in social and
economic matters by actual Chris
tjsn action in those fields.
Hence, in social education the
associations and organizations of
the lay apostolate play an impor.
tant role, especially those that
have as their specific objective
the Characterization of the econo-
mic and social sectors of the tenn
poral order. Indeed, many mem
bers OF these associations can draw
profit from their daily experiences
to form themselves more complete
ly and also to contribute to the
social education of youth.
AT this point it seems opportune
TO recall TO all. the great and the
iowly. the Christian concept of
life, which requires a spirit of
moderation and of sacrifice. I'm,
fortunately, there is everywhere
prevalent a hedonistic conception
and tendency which would reduce
life to the search for pleasure and
the full satisfaction of all the pas
slons, with a consequent great loss
to both body and soul.
ON THE natural level simpli.
city of life and temperance in the
lower appetites is a wisdom pro.
ductive of good. On the superna.
tural level. the Gospels and the
whole ascetic tradition of the
Church require a sense of mortifi.
cation and of penance which as.
sure the rule of the spirit over>the
flesh and offer an efficacious
means of ~expiating the punishment
due to sin from which no one, ex.
