COd-Civen Rights

Often we hear individuals speak of rights
Americans have from the Constitution and Bill of
Rights.
come from any document. They do not come from the
State. They come from almighty God who has endowed
man with the dignity of rational nature.
Our Founding Fathers were well aware of this.
The Declaration of Independence calls the following
truths self-evident: "that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Libery,
and the pursuit of Happiness"
LATER THE CONSTITUTION was framed and in
1871 the Bill of Rights was made part of the Con
stitution. These first ten amendments involved no real
alteration of federal power. They simply gave formal
recognition to certain additionally accepted natural
rights" which had been previously Incorporated In
the historic English charters, colonial grants, and
individual state bills of rights.
Some of the new nations leaders thought it bet
er not to have a bill of rights, but Jefferson wanted
them as text by which to prevent the federal govern
ment from invading the rights of the people of the
states.
ON TIE TEXT TWO Sundays, Catholic, Protest
ants and Jewish Churches in the greater Columbus
area will feature sermons on America and our God
given Rights"
This is part of a project of the three Faiths to re-
minds us of our noble heritage and to move us to the
practice of true patriotism. The exercise of patriotism
demands knowledge of our nations history and ideals.
1t also involves participation in the civic life of the
COMMUNICATIONS state, and local.
IN VIEW OF THE ROLE played by Catholics in our
countryS beginnings, our readers should be in the
forefront of any such positive action. Charles Carroll
was among those who signed the Declaration of hide
pendence; Daniel Carroll of Maryland and Thomas
F~itzsimm0ns of Pennsylvania, signed the Constitution.
The Christopher publication Government is Your
Business lists some marks of a good citizen in our day:
"You have a duty to vote in all elections. You have
a duty to keep informed on happenings in government,
You have a duty to serve on jury duty or the armed
forces # called. You should, collectively and indi-
vidually, see to it that all branches of government are
stated by the best Americans. You have a duty to do
more than complain and criticize! You should count
your blessings and act toward correcting civic evils"
We second the motion. -GAF

Anglican Church Moves
Away From Catholic Church
by FIR. John b. Sheerin, esp.

That superb Broadway
drama, "A Man For All
Seasons" focuses its main
attention on the con-
science of st. Thomas
More. He refused to accept
King Henry's break with
Rome and adamantly rejected
Parliament's attempt to es-
tablish Henry as head of the
Catholic Church in England.
TODAY THE CHURCH of
England finds that many of
its members are troubled in
conscience over the question
of m Whereas
Thomas More held for the
maintenance of Catholic tradi-
ton, rebellious voices in the
Church of England are calling
for a radical departure from
Catholic tradition. They claim
that the doctrine of apostolic
succession is not an essential
Christian teaching and that
Anglicans may receive COM
munion from unordained cler-
gymen.
The quarrel becomes more
intense as the Church of Eng
land begins to take a larger
part in the work for Chris
tan Unity. Thirteen months
ago, the Archbishop of Can
terbury visited the acknowl-
edged leader of the Orthodox
Churches, Patriarch Athena
goras. Then he paid a "cour-
tesv visit to Pope John.

The Yardstick
Laymen Have Positive
Duty As Missionaries
by Msgr. George G. Higgins

Ed. Note: Father Mcclure

for Mssr. George G. Higgins
who regularly writes The

We are witnessing a
new development in the
worldwide mission Of
the Church. Ten years
ago, there were but a
handful of us. laymen work
ing as missionaries in the de-
veloping nations. Today, there
are hundreds. Now Pope John
XIII has issued a call for
Papal Volunteers to labor for
the salvation of the Christian
society in Latin America.

centrate on two targets-the
university and the labor I'M
ion. They point out to the in
tellectual and the laborer the
evident social injustiees and
challenge them to revolt. 1t
is particularly in these two
areas that the laity, not the
priests, can be most effective
in proclaiming the social doc
trines of the Church.
THE LAITY HAVE A posi-
tive duty in this respect. Pope
John XIII in Master ct

AS HE HIMSELF SAID,
"For the first time in 400
years an archbishop of Canter-
bury has come officially to
Rome not to air his own views
or complaints hut solely to
show respect to His Holiness,
the Pope, in the spirit of cour-
tesy and Christian brother
hood" And Pope John. in re-
turn, said that the mutual cor
diality and sympathetic under
standing generated by the
meeting we're important fruits
of the visit even though the
two leaders did not discuss
dogmatic differences.
However, the Church of
England seems somewhat un-
certain as to the precise role
it should play in reunion
work. This hesitation was OBJ
vious at the World Council
assembly at New Delhi. A very
vocal group of delegates from
the Church Of England called
for intercommunion so that
an Anglican could receive
communion from ministers of
other faiths even if these min
listers we're unordained. The
delegates complained that it Is
rather futile to talk about
unity unless you take the first
elementary step on the way to
reunion - the reception of
communion from ministers of
other faiths.
The Lambeth Conference of
1858 stated that: "Anglicans

to mention the great advan-

Christian note to modern civ
ilization; a note that is re-
CURED and almost asked for
by that civilization itself for
its further development and
even for its continual exist
ence. AS we have already en-
phasized, the Church fulfills
this mission through her lay
sons who should feel pledged
to carry on their professional
activities as the fulfillment Of
a duty, as the performance of
a service in the internal 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 q Cor. 10;31). All
whatsoever you do IN word or
in work, do all in name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, giving
thanks to God and the Father
by Him (Col. BID"
THE CHALLENGE OF THE
Catholic laymen in foreign
field is not one of direct evan
gelization. AS a matter of fact,
seldom does the religious mis-
sionary begin his work by d.
rect evangelization. Many
years ago, Father John j..
Considine, NM, in Education
to World Christianity wrote;

the West entered among a
new people, they did not
merely teach the Creed and

each other and this was even
better because they found in
each other something of the
mystery of life - the unique
ness of each human being and
the uniqueneSs of each mar
riage. Whether they realized
it or not beyond it all with
the uniqueness of Gods ere
alton, not only of each human
being, but Of each human love
and of the sacramento per-
manency of each human love
that is marriage.
God blesses each human be.
ing with the gift of life that
is his alone and with the ca
pacity to love and be loved
that no one else knows. Then,
again, in the mystery Of heay-
en- that is earth, he calls two
human beings to love each
other in marriage, to join two
lives to perfect each life and
in the joining by His will to
bring forth and raise new life
to His glory.
THAT is WHY TO speak of
Everyman's marriage is to do
a disservice to One Mans and
One Woman's marriage, be-
cause in the infinite variety Of
Gods love there are no two
marriages the same. as in the
infinite variety of Gods Gre

the same.

Therefore, according to the
New York Herald-Tribune Of
December %. 1861, in a report
by Richard c. Valid, a group
of 80 prominent Anglican the
ologians wrote an open letter
to the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury and York in which they
rejected the doctrine of apos-
tolic succession. They said
that they recognized that the
historic eplScopate" has
Importance but also, we recOg-
nize that it is Our Lord who
calls and commissions His
ministers and that He is not
tied to any one form of min
istry."
They went on to assert that
even unordained ministers can
convey grace through COM
munion and that Anglicans
were under no obligation to
refrain from receiving COM
munion at the hands of other
churchmen. The signers we're

Pile have throughout life?
A. st. Paul speaks of the
profundity of God and gives
us a general background for
this answer: Eye has not seen
nor ear heard, nor has il ell
tered into the heart of man,
what things God has prepar-
ed for those who love him" Il
Corinthians 2:9) Later Il Cor.
15:35-55) ST. Paul comes to
this particular question about
the risen body. We can guess
that the risen Body of Christ,
as He vas seen by the Apes
ties would give us some idea:
He walker, talked and ate
with them. st. Paul compares
the risen body to the fruit of
seed planted in the ground:
But God gives ii a body even
as he has willed, and TO each
of the seeds a body of its
own" He states: what is
sown in corruption rises in in-
corruption, what is sown in
dishonor rises in glory; what
is sown in weakness rises in
power; what is sown a natural
body rises a spiritual body"
That SHOULD make clear that
there will be no deformities
in heaven. but that would not
necessarily mean that We will
be given the body of prize
athletes etc. Christ had the
wounds In His hands and feet;
they were not a blemish but a
badge of glory. So a man who
is small in stature would not
likely become large in stature.
Beyond that principle | sup
pose we must wait and see
with some prayer and hard
work that we may arrive in

there is an excellent short
analysis of this great literary
and historical work. The au-
thor of the essay states: ED
ward Gibbon is the greatest
historian not merely of the
eighteenth century but of the
English-speaking world. His
masterpiece, The Decline and
Fall of the Roman Empire,
has taken permanent rank as
a classic. !" He adds a num-
Der of qualifying points to
this tribute. Gihbon was domi-
mated by contempt for the
Christian religion. His facts
have been enlarged, rectified
and superseded at a hundred
points. He points out that
chapters Is and Is (often
singled out for reprints) are
avowedly nti-Christian. AL
though they have been dis
credited by later research in
many points and his denial
of Miracles etc. can be
answered, they represent a
powerful and persuasive at
tack on Christianity. He con-
cludes the essay: "All in all.
