companied us on the trip to Italy from

The Decalogue is totally straight
forward about it: Thou shalt not
kill"
1t doesn't leave any loopholes.
But in Liege, Belgium, a young
mother and four other defendants
have been found not guilty in the
murder of a week-old baby who wa
born with cruel determinations caused
by the drug known as thalidomide.
There was no denial by the mother
and the other defendants that they
had killed the infant with an overdose
of barbituateS.
IT WAS ONLY Is years since the
close of the Nuremberg Trials, when
the enormity of the nazi program for
slaughtering the feeble, the malform-
ed, and those deemed inferior, came
upon the public consciousness with
~unspeakable revulsion.
The circumstances in Liege differ;
the principles T the same.
Vatican Radio asked:
who assumed = and by what
right-that the child, could she only
have spoken, would have asked to
die? She was innocent. Responsibility
for her deformities rested, if at all.
with her mother, and with society, not
with her. By what right did society,
the real culprit, acquit the mother,
thus ratifying the death sentence on
the creature who alone was Innocent"
Under Belgian law, the Liege de-
PENDANTS if found guilty would have
had to receive a sentence of at least
three years in prison. There is no
provision for %suspending sentence fol-
lowing conviction.

on controversial subjects and that the
presentation was therefore justified.
NOW, SOME OF the same interests
who supported the showing of the May
program are charging ABC and its
local outlets with doing the public a
grave d~isservice by allowing Alger
Hiss to appear on the Nixon docu-
mentary.
The point here seems obvious. If
many people find q certain treatment
on TV offensive, should ii be kept
off the air, while a program which
goes counter to the entire Judaeo-
Christian moral code may be shown?

It was the third of a series of on-
f~erences for teenagers and their par
ents. Each group had attended its w
session. They were now meeting for an
exchange of thoughts and a little pub
lie communication.
The parents were on one side of the
hall in small groups of eight or ten
people. Their children were in a SIM
liar discussion arrangement on the
other side. The priest-director had the
band-aid concession.
THE PARENTS were asked to dis
cuSs two questions - what they liked
about teenagers and what they dislik-
ed about them. They were encouraged
to be frank.
The adolescents were asked to an
swer two similar questions in regard
to parents. No need was felt to en-
courage them to frankness.
The parent groups reported first on
what they liked about teenagers.
Their children replied in kind. One
could hear the violins playing as the
compliments were exchanged with
much humor and even more mutual
love and respect.
The parents admired the teenagers
for their enthusiasm and freshness of
spirit, for their sense of justice and
fair play, for their broad interest in
the world about them and their articu-
~lateness in expressing themselves.
They liked them, too, for their On
Germ for others and their considera-
ton for the needs of others, and espe-
cially their sympathy for the under
dog.
ONE FATHER probably summed
up the parental feelings when he said,
I'VE like them for what they are
good, decent kids with a flair for life
and an enthusiasm that is infectious.
We are glad TO have them around and
thank God for the privilege of having
and knowing Them
This brought a thunderous burst of
applause from the teenagers, to which
the parents responded in a more re-
strained manner. Then it was their
children's turn.
They respected their parents for the
sacrifices they made to educate and
rear them properly and all the things
they did for them. As one cute girl
said, looking at the parents, I'VE real

THE YARDSTICK
Don't criticize self-criticism, or else. -.

To play the role Of a critic Is at best
n dangerous game; to be a self-critic
Is apparently eve more dangerous;
but to be a self-critic of the self-critics
Is TO invite trouble.
In an early column in the present
pinch-hitting series, | raised some
questions about the current outburst
of self-criticism.
In reply | received an angry letter
from an extremely respected and COM
petent Catholic journalist who accused
me of, al denying any suggestion of
mediocrity in Catholic scholarship, b)
viewing all lay criticism as negative,
g denying laity the right to construc-
lively criticize, d. telling laymen that
they have duties, but no rights, e) inn
plying that laymen are not full mem
bers of the Mystical Body, Fl suggest
ing that the writer's in Commonweal
Symposium wish to usurp the teach
Ing authority of the bishops, and q
castigating these writer's simply be-
cause they speak their minds.
NOW, GENTLE READER, if you
dig out your scrapbooks of old Yard
stick" columns, you will note that |
said none of these things, either ex-
plicitly or implicitly. And let it be
noted for the record that the reason
I did not say them is because | do not
believe them.
What | did say was that | found
much Of the current self-criticism I'M
balanced because 1t does not take into
account the rapid change which is GO
ing on in the American Church and
tends to generalize from one local sit
uation to the whole Church.

EVERYMAN'S FAMILY
Parents, children benefit
from rank discussions
by Father John Knott

ly do appreciate all you do for us,
even though we don't always tell
YOU" They liked their parents inter-
est in their lives and their concern
for them.
They especially were grateful for
the parents who were willing to listen
to their problems. AS one said, even
though these problems may not seem
important to you, they are to us and
we are thankful when you seem to
take them seriously"
ONE BOY, reporting for a group Of
his male peers, said, I'VE like you
especially when you let us take the
car, with a full tank of gas yet, and
don't check on the mileage" But he
was quick to add, 1--WE like you even
when there isn't a full tank of gas, as
long as we can use the car" Cheers
from the teenagerS. Knowing smiles
from the parents.
With all the humor and the touch
ing seriousness of the reports, with
all the clapping and cheering, there
seemed to be at the same time a deep
spontaneity and freshness about the
words of praise which one group off
fered to the other.
1t almost seemed to an interested
observer that this was a rare eXperi-
ence for them, or at least rarer than
it should be, and that both groups
welcomed the opportunity to say nice
and truthful things about each other.
Since both the parents and teens
ayers are human beings-and this is
sometimes hard for one to accept
about the other = there is frequently
the human difficulty in offering
words of praise and gratitude which
wouldn't sound mawkish and insin-
cere.
THE RELATIVE anonymity of the
group reports allowed a certain free
dom of expression of thoughts and
feelings which was healthy.
Perhaps all of us ought to take a
little time out each day to consider
the people in our lives and thank them
for what they are and for what they
are doing. Group discussion is fine,
but a %one-to-one discussion is better.
Maybe if each one of us got more
used to praising and thanking God
each day, it would be easier to praise
and thank each other.

Belgian bishops statement

principles of natural and Christian
morals"
The Bishops cited the words of Plus
XII when he said: There is no man.
no authority, no medical, eugenic, So
cial, economic or moral reason that
may be appealed to and which repre-
sents a valid juridical argument to
dispose directly and deliberately of
the life of an innocent person."
Then or their own the Belgian
'churchmen said that divine law pro-
tects the small creature in the
same way it protects the adult who is
not in possession of his mental facul-
ties or is affected by incurable dis
ease. Any exception to this law opens
up the way to arbitrary decisions and
leads to the most grave abuses, which
the human conscience had always re-
proved, and represents, therefore, a
grave threat to society,"

Jumped with those who are denying
their rights and there is no real
need ever to read carefully what the
critic has said.
SUCH REACTIONS are, | suppose,
understandable. But it is indeed UNI
fortunate that the New Criticism can
in such a short time become a New
Orthodoxy which is every bit as rigid
and inflexible as the Old Orthodoxy
and perhaps even more sensitive to
criticism.
1t is eve more unfortunate that
many of the critics are not able to
profit from criticism and deepen their
analyses. 1t seems much easier to re-
peat the tired cliches of a decade ago
and not ask the questions which
would be relevant to the contemporary
situation.
1t might be interesting, for exam
pie, if the critics began to examine
their allies in the %liturgical and Cath
Ollie Action movements and ask what
failures have these movements expert
enced in the last decade and how
might they improve their approach.
But to ask these questions, | suppose
is dangerously close to heresy.
There is still considerable reason to
debate whether the American Church
is mature enough to accept friendly
criticism from educated and sincere
laymen; but there is not much ques-
ton as to whether we have come far
enough on the road to maturity where
the educated and sincere laity can ac-
cept friendly criticism from the cler-
gy. We haven't.

The old saying 1T makes a lot of

mind last week amid all the contro-
versy over the program entitled '"The

We did not see the program and

menting, but VIZ cannot let the OPP
portunity slip by without pointing
out what seems to be a glaring in
consistency in some of those condemn

The Bishops of Belgium, while ex-
pressing pity for the Liege parents of
the infant who was killed because of
her deformity, declared that no one
has a right to put an end to a life
on assuming that it necessarily will
be an unhappy life"
In a joint declaration the Bishops
said:
1--WE FULLY UNDERSTAND the
suffering of the parents, for whom
the expected happy event became a
sorrowful trial, and we feel profound
pity for them. We do notintend in any
way to pass judgment on the con-
sciences of the protagonists in the pain
full drama which followed. But what
ever the extenuating circumstances
may be which were invoked in their
favor, we are duty bound to recall the

| also suggested that self-criticism
is tending to turn into a new conven-
tional wisdom which permits purvey-
ors of the party line to see nothing but
the most gloomy trends in American
Catholicism.
Now it may be naive clerical bias
on my part, but it seems to me that
to say a given proposition is too
gloomy or does not take into account
processes of change is rather differ
ent than to say that the one who
writes the proposition has no right TO
express ii or is trying TO usurp the
authority of the bishops or is not a
full-fledged member of the Mystical
Body.
INDEED l WOULD have thought
before this irate letter that it would
be possible TO agree with much of
what the self-critics had been saying
and still think that they had not said
enough for a balanced picture.
But, alas, it does not seem possible:
If you mutter a word against the con-
tent of self-criticism, you are obvious
ly castigating educated laymen for
speaking their minds!
One can understand the problem of
this editor, of course. The position of
the self-critics is by no means secure
yet in the American Church Though
perhaps not as insecure as they would
like to think).
Every time they open their mouths
someone on the right attempts to clob-
Der him; SO they are not prepared for
sniping from the left. Anyone who
disagrees with them is automatically

Sunday observance must be a positive thing

servance must be a positive thing and
we should urge our neighbors to fol-
low suit. We are indeed indebted to
the New York Professional Sodality
for some of the following points which
form a basis of a Sunday Code for
Catholics"
1. | WILL acknowledge that the es-
sential work of the Lords Day is the
worship of God through the devout
offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass. Therefore l will arrive on time,
offer the Mass with the priest, partici-
pate in the responses or singing, and
receive Holy Communion regularly on
Sunday.
2. l will attempt to foster deeper

worship and will support the Church

not only by financial contributions
but also through the use of my energy
and talents.
3. I will seek rest and relaxation
on the Lords Day by not performing
unnecessary work which is at variance
with the spirit of the day.
4. l will not do any unnecessary buys
ing, selling or shopping on Sunday.
5. I will use the leisure of this day
to deepen the knowledge of my Faith
and strengthen family life in my
home.
Certainly the adoption of such a
code by our people will act as a posi-
tive remedy to the gradual de-Chris-
