Religion, Maker of
Centuries of Civilization
His Holiness Pope Pius XII addrcsseu the Pon
tifical Academy of Sciences last week and gave need
ed emphasis to the fact that religion and science
must be in harmony. Hi- discourse was heard by
the members of the Academy, by the diplomatic
corps at the Vatican and the College of Cardinals.
Scientists from many countries were present at the
gathering of learned men.
During his important address the Holy Father
said that. “Today, after so many centuries which
were centuries of civilization because they were cen
turies of religion, the need is not so much to reveal
God for the first time as it is rather to recognize
Him as a lather, reverence Him as a Lawgiver and
fear Him as a Judge."
There is a striking thought in the statement that
a century of civilization is such bee au.se it is a cen
tury of religion. Historians can attest to the truth
of the Pontiff’s words. The greatest civilizing force
through the ages has been the Church. When de
caying Rome would have been futile against the bar
barians overrunning Europe, the apostles of Chris
tianity were spreading the benign influence of Our
Blessed Lord among the hordes of the north.
If centuries of religion are centuries of civiliza
tion, it maybe a startling thought to some to realize
the extent to which religion has left the hearts of
men in this present century. That atheistic com
munism could gain such a strong grip on the world
is no compliment to the religion of men and nations
today. It can only be surmised uhat future genera
tions will say of this century. Seeing the extent to
which men turned away from God, and the rapid
growth and spread of communism, future historians
will also note the barbaric wars ot this era and be
wail the depths to which civilization has sunk. Not
for many centuries has there been such violent dis
for the processes of civilization by a power
which rules in tyranny a great segment of the peo
ples of the world.
There will be no true civilization where there is
no religion. Red Russia should come to know this if
it expects to build a lasting nation and make any
advance in those things which make for truth and
beauty. Because of her this century cannot as yet be
termed a religious one nor, viewing the whole
tyrannized world, can it be termed an age in which
civilization has flourished.
Make II CIIRISTinas
A healthy and welcome sign is the growing re
aeniment ot people everywhere at the commercial
ization of Christmas Articles and editorials in the
daily pi ess. the civic movements in a number of
cities, tadio forums all have pointed out and de
cried the fact that hristmas grows more and more
materialistic each year.
The fact that the general public is thinking about
these things and in many instances, doing something
about them, is heartening.
The interesting and informative program “Dale
For Debate", broadcast each week-day over WHKC,
used the question of today's mode of neglecting the
main idea in the Christinas season as a point of dis
cussion during the past week. Both the studio audi
ence and home listeners were in accord in their con
riemnation of the cheapening of this blessed season
by taking away or thoughtlessly ignoring its true
signification.
There is no Christmas without Christ. Even the
word “Christmas" becomes a barbarism when His
name is left out. “Xmas" can only serve as a re
minder of how far wc have come from the true
meaning of Christmas.
“Put Christ back into Christmas" is the slogan of
those who would remedy this situation. They have
many fine recommendations to offer in order Io cor
rect the abuses they condemn
They suggest the retelling of the beautiful Christ
mas history in the home and its use as program ma
terial for radio and television broadcasts. They
would replace pagan and idiotic decorations and
cards with those which reflect the true joy of
Christ's birth.
The change brought about by the adoption of
this program will, to say the least, he noticeable It
will be noticeable in the changed aspect of the city
streets and windows and in the homes,
As was said, it will he a heartening change, be
cause it will, if successful, he but a reflection of the
change in the hearts of men.
A World in Travail
There can be little doubt that the world is going
through a period of travail. With most people there
is the conviction that the period is too long. But

He Who Sings XS ell
Prays Twice
People who are fortunate enough to attend the
Pontifical Mass this morning at the Cathedral which
opens the convention of the Ohio Unit of the Na
tional Catholic Music Education Association will be
treated to something unusual which really should
not be unusual.
The age-old ceremonies of the Church will be
the same. There will be no change there, of course.
Rather it will be the presence of something age-old
that is seen and heard too infrequently any more:
a choir that almost fills the church.
Congregational singing is looked upon quite
often as something unusual, something outside the
normal run of things. The thought of introducing it
would be looked on by some as some sort of innova
tin. Both views are wrong.
It is the normal, expected thing tha. the people
join in singing the music of the Mass. Pope Pius
XII, in his recent encyclical, "Mediator Dei", quotes
the ancient saying, “he who sings well prays twice,”
as he urges the return of the custom.
The Holy Father voices a wish for all his chil
dren to "let the full harmonious singing of our peo
ple rise to heaven like the bursting of a thunderous
sea and let them testify by the melody of their song
to the unity of their hearts and minds, as becomes
brothers and the children of the same Father.”
Jusl Among Ourselves
Passing Comment Considsred or Inconsiderate
Just as there are two Jerusalems (on the testi
mony of Scripture) so there are two Christmasses.
And as orie of the cities is temporal and doomed to
destruction while the other is he spiritual and
enduring home ot the faithful, so the two feasts—
the two Christmasses—are contrasted as material
and spiritual, having almost nothing in common.
The true Feast of Christmas is the happy cele
bration of the Redemption that came into a lost
world of men when God became Man and dwelt
among us. It is spiritual, for its meaning and prom
ise is given to the soul, not to the body. It is a cele
bration that can stir sinners to repentance, and can
awaken in the faithful soul new virtue holier as
pirations. The core and center of the celebration of
this hristmas is living faith in the truth that Jesus
Christ is actually God Himself, the Second Person
of the Undivided Trinity, who has become true Man
also, and is born of a human mother, so that He
may be our Brother as well as our Creator, and may
endure death in His human nature to atone for the
sin of His fellowmen.
To prepare us suitably for this great spiritual
feast, the Church founded on earth by Christ (true
God as well as true man) sets up an annual season
called Advent or “The Coming.” During this time,
in all her ritual readings and functions, the Church
recalls to her children the fall of man, the merciful
promise of a Redeemer, and the deep longing of
faithful souls for the fulfillment of the promise.
And we of modern times are meant to be stirred
by this recollection to a deep desi’e to have Christ
living by faith and grace in our hearts. Thus we
arouse resolution to amend mistaken lives, to cast
off the ways of sin, to walk worthy of the voca
tion wherein we are called.” Advent is therefore
a time ot great value to the Christian. If he uses
it well, he will be ready on Christmas Day to exper
nee the pcsce and joy ol a clean conscience and
hearl filledi with love of God and neighbor.
The other Christmas the Christmas of this
irlri--lakes name and occasion from the true
Christmas, hut has actually nothing in common
with it. It is a winter season of gaiety and gift
giving, not in any spirit of Christian faith, but in
worldly display and self indulgence. Naturally,
those who can make a good thing commercially out
of this occasion have been prompt to do so. By this
time the forces of commercialism have practically
taken over the celebration of Christmas and direct
its every event and observance.
The true Christmas is full of spiritual joy which
is rightly reflected in outer celebration. Carols and
greetings and gifts and feasting are all in line with
the Great Event which the day commemorates, so
long as all these things arc kept strictly subservient
tn the real meaning of the festival. But the worldly
Christmas takes up carol and glee as things import
ant in themselves! Il makes outward show and
frolic a mere seasonal observance, despite the sur
face reference occasionally accorded to childhood
and motherhood and the sacredncss of the home
For the worldly Christmas has no knowledge
of Christ and no faith in His divinity. Its most
ardent promoters (those who seek to make a great
deal of money out of the occasion) have no belief
irt*the Godhead of Christ or the uniqueness and
necessity of His Church. Christmas to them is a
rich commercial opportunity, and they develop
it with enthusiasm. Thus they have managed to
change the general attitude of mankind towards
Christmas their newer and worldly Christmas works
for the destruction of the true Feast.
The worldly Christmas has its advent too. It has
its season of preparation—for tremendous sales.
Nor is this season of high-pressure salesmanship
limited to the four weeks preceding December 25.
October has scarcely gone before the children are
summond out of a Sunday to meet “Santa Claus”
newly arrived from the North Pole and swelter
ing in most unseasonable felts and whiskers. Boys
and girls arc instructed continuously thereafter
that Christmas is the day on which they will “get
things." They are urged to come to visit Santa Claus
(in one of his innumerable reincarnations) in the
local stores. There they will sec and hear things
which will turn them into advocates for sales the
whole infant and child population is formed into a
pressure group to make parents purchase a lot of
things they cannot afford and by no means require
The joy of gifts and toys and tinselled trees is
thin and short lived The gaiety of the worldly
Christmas lasts hardlv longer than the time it takes
for gadgets tn break down and gifts to be ex
changed. But the joy and peace of the true Christ
mas have an enduring quality they do not break
down they last as long as earnest good will re
mains in Christian hearts. The Christmas gift of the
true Christmas is worth the longing of Advent
is worth what is paid for it which is a great deal
more than can be said for the articles sold across
Christ mas counters in the mad rush of this w orld's
Christmas.
To the Catholic, Christmas means, before all else,
a time of appreciating the faith an occasion for a
particularly fervent confession and Communion: a
day for an especially devout hearing of Holy Mass.
And surely here are Christmas gifts and experiences
beyond all price, and wholly apart from the arena
of competitive salesmanship.
Now, as Advent comes, let us “keep Christ in
hristmas." through every day right up to the feast
itself, and thereafter through life let us hold Him
more dearly and securely in our hearts.
WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON—(NC) The
name of Archbishop Aloysius
Stepinac of Zagreb is appearing
in the news again, and some peo
ple here are beginning to realize
that, by one means or another,
the name of Marshal Tito of
Jugoslavia has been 1 ept stead
ily before the American people
in recent months.
Marshal Tito already has ob
tained a quarter of a billion dol
lars of financial aid from the
Western Powers, and he is seek
ing more.
C. L. Sulzberger, in a front
page article in The New York
Times, has said that Tito will
soon release Archbishop Stepin
ac from Leopglava prison, where
he has served about five years of
a 16-ycar sentence handed down
after one of those infamous Red
“trials.” Mr. Sulzberger says
Tito will send the Archbishop
back to his native village of Kra
sic, where he can live the life of
a private individual "on the con
dition that he docs not engage
in political acivity considered to
be against the interests of the
state.” Moreover, the Archbish
op, it was said, will not be recog
nized as the Roman Catholic Pri
mate of Yugoslavia.
It would seem that Marshal
Tito is trying to cover up for a
very bad mistake that won him
EAT HER HIGGINS
Is the CIO
THE CATHOLIC TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3 0 1 9 5 1
The Ameri
ca n labor
movement is
justifiably
proud of its un
broken tradi
tion of relig
ious tolerance.
Unlike so
many of their
European coun
terparts, Amer
ican unions
arc officially “neutral" in the
best sense of the word. They
sincerely respect the religious
convictions of their individual
members and they absolutely
will not tolerate religious bigot
ry or discrimination within their
ranks, nor will they permit
themselves Io be used or man
ipulated on behalf of sectarian
purposes.
In view of this wholesome
tradition, many observers are at
a loss to explain why the recent
CIO convention “took sides" in
the controversy over federal aid
to education and recommended,
in effect, that federal funds be
limited to public schools and to
public school children. We say
“in effect” because we would
like to believe that even the
technicians who drafted the lan
guage of the CIO resolution on
federal aid did not fully under
stand all its implications.
Clearly Inconsistent
The resolution recommends,
among other things, "that the in
dividual states shall make the
decisions as to whether non-pub
lic schools shall be eligible for
federal aid and as to the kinds
of services that shall be covered
in these schools by federal

nearly world-wide condemnation.
But at the same time, it appears
that he is trying to wring the
last bit of favorable publicity
for himself and all possible prop
aganda for ugoslav communism
from this act.
One can find nothing new in
this latest reported gesture on
the part of Marshal Tito. Some
time ago it was said he was will
ing to let the long-suffering
Archbishop out of prison, if he
would leave his native country.
Both Archbishop Stepinac and
the Holy See made it clear at the
time that this was not accept
able.
Recently Collier’s magazine
devoted an entire issue to a fic
tional report on what World War
Hl will oe like, if and when it
happens. The principal one of a
score of articles was written by
Robert E. Sherwood, the success
ful playwright who “ghosted” a
number of the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s more im
portant speeches. Pr tending to
write from Moscow in 1960, he
traced the cause, the course and
the conclusion of the war. It
was all very imaginative, of
course (Sherwood is a writer of
fiction) but the most fantastic
aspect of the whole article was
the treatment he accorded Mar
shal Tito.
For some reason, Mr. Sher

grants.” To the average peison—
including, I am sure, the over
whelming majority of CTO mem
bers—this section of the resolu
tion probably appeals to be em
inently reasonable and lair. Act
ually, however, it is not only un
reasonable and discriminatory
but clearly inconsistent with the
CIO's traditional scrupulosity in
demanding that the individual
states live up to federal stand
ards in the allocation of federal
funds under other federal pro
grams.
For all practical purposes,
whatever the intention of its au
thors, this resolution means that
the CTO is recommending that
federal aid be limited almost ex
clusively to public schools and
public school children since the
majority of the individual states
arc forbidden by their constitu
tions to allocate cither state or
federal funds to parochial
schools.
Why has the CIO adopted such
a discriminatory policy with re
gard to federal aid a policy
w'hich obviously runs counter to
its tradition of religious toler
ance and religious “neutrality”?
The majority of CIO members,
ir our opinion, simply haven’t
given the subject of federal aid
to education any serious thought
and are innocently unaware of
the meaning of the resolution
for which they have voted so
casually for the last three or
four years. A more careful study
of the subject will convince the
majority, I think, that the CTO
—for trade union reasons and
not for reasons of narrow sec
tarianism—ought to reverse its
position on federal aid as soon
as possible.
wood made the Red dictator of
Yugoslavia a benign and lovable
character.
World War III occurs, accord
ing to Mr. Sherwood’s vivid ar
ticle, because of an attempt
made on the life of Marshal Tito
early in the afternoon of May
10. 1952. It seems the nasty com
munists from Moscow are trying
to exterminate the kindly and
much-beloved tyrant in Yugo
slavia. The attempt to kill him is
made by Moscow agents who, dis
guised. get in with a group of
Serbian peasants who have
come to the palace in Belgrade
to serenade gratefully “Tito our
little white violet.” It seems that
they are deliriously happy about
Tito’s program of collectivized
farming, and are going to re
ceive some awards for seven
years of above-quota production.
That's not the picture of Tito
as people who have lived under
him in Yugoslavia paint it. He
is a communist, a dictator and a
vicious tyrant. He rose to power
with the help of Moscow and the
acquicsence of the United States.
He began at once to exterminate
everyone who might be consid
ered opposition. And he’s still at
it. He began to persecute all re
ligion, and particularly the Cath
olic Church, and he has not re
lented.
Revsrial Dosirous
This is not a religious issue
in the sectarian sense of the
word, nor a Catholic-Protestant
issue. Primarily it is a question
of the freedom of education ver
sus a government or state mon
opoly of education. Of all the
secular organizations in the
United States, surely the labor
movement ought to be the moSt
favorably disposed towards the
principle of freedom of educa
tion, and the most vigorously op
posed to a government or state
monopoly of education or to any
legislation that tends in this di
rection. Surely a movement so
zealous in the defense of the
right of free association, so Un
compromisingly opposed to any
attempt on the part of any polit
ical group to suppress this right
or arbitrarily to limit its exer
cise, ought to be just as zealous
in the defense of the freedom of
education, and just as opposed to
any attempt to penalize those
who choose to exercise thi right
by sending their children to pri
vate or nonpublic schools.
A state monopoly of education
would be even more dangerous
to democracy than the suppres
sion or government control of
unions, a la Peron or Tito.
Granted that a discriminatory
program of federal aid to edu
cation will not immediately re
sult in such a monopoly, it will
most certainly make it more dif
ficult for American citizens—in
cluding countless thousands of
CIO members—to exercise the
freedom of education and, ob
viously, more difficult for pri
vate schools to meet the com
petition of state-s u o rt e
schools.
RICHARD PATTEE
Church and State
A few weeks
ago I comment
ed on the Pas
feral Letter of
the Austrian
hierarchy and
suggested that
it might be
profitable for
some particu
larly diligent
zpitit to bring
together,
around specif
ic subjects, the
numerous pas
torals that ap
pear all over the world. I have
just come across one issued some
months ago and signed by all
the Bishops of Bolivia. It deals
with the touchy subject of
Church and State.
At first glance it might seem
that the statement of the Boliv
ian Bishops has little if any in
terest for Americans or, for
that matter, for anyone outside
of Bolivia. The problems created
by the hierarchy in the land
locked South American republic
do, however, shed a very consid
erable light on one problem
which is of the greatest interest
to the United Stater and espec
ially to American Catholics: the
status of literal dependence in
which the Church is held in Bo
livia. which applies equally to a
number of other Hispanic Amer
ican nations.
At Best, Elegant Servi jde
There is too much of the view
in this country that the Church
is all-powerful and that the so
called social and economic
backwardness is due to the re
fusal of the Church to come to
grips with the realities of the
day and meet the challenge of
the hour. I have tried for many
years in lectures and writings to
dispel this absurd notion.
The Church in Hispanic Amer
ica is by no means the all-power
ful institution it is claimed to
be. In country after country it
is shackled by the State and
submitted to what, at best, is
little better than an elegant
form of servitude. Moreover, the
penetration of secularism has
become so complete in almost
every Hispanic American coun
try that any action or even in
ten i o n on the part of the
Church is looked upon as a scan
dalous violation of her jurisdic
tion and as evidence of meddling
in politics.
If anyone believes the Cath
olic Church enjoys a privileged
position in most Spanish "coun
tries, let him meditate the con
tent of the Bolivian pastoral
GRETTA PALMER
Key to Maturity
Ours is a
child-conscious
age that spoils
11 s children,
devotes whole
magazines to
the study of
its children,
permits them
an undisciplin
ed freedom
unknown to
their grand
fathers. But there is very ser
ious disservice that it does its
children in non-Catholic homes.
It denies them the early self-re
spect which Catholic children
get from the Confessional, which
can be a kind of Court of Ap
peal from parents’ judgments in
the moral area.
For the parents, being human,
may magnify some fault out of
all proportion, or take lightly
some offense which is really ser
ious. What happens? If the child
is a Catholic child, the whole
wisdom of Doctors of the Church
iu at his disposal to correct his
elders’ mistakes no farther
away than the nearest Confes
sional. But the non-Catholic child
lacks this resource he is at the
mercy of his family and if they
bully him or tyrannize over him,
his only form of resistance will
be emotional. He can have a
tantrum, he can weep but he
cannot deal with the problem on
the rational level where it ought
to be handled, because he lacks
the knowledge and has no prob
able means of finding it.
Age of Reason
This one thing alone must have
saved millions of Catholic chil
dren from growing up to be what
the modern world calls “emo
tionally immature.” They have
learned early thzt their elders
make mistakes which can be
calmly corrected their own
minds. This gives the child of
seven or so a great dignity, a
sense of individuality, of having
reached the “age of reason,” and
having a reason of his very own
to use. But there are other mag
nificent advantages the Catholic
child enjoys:
There is Communion, this
great and beautiful gift of God
to us is entirely personal. No
older, stronger individual comes
in between the child and his
God at the comhiunio.’ rail. It
is the most important act of a
child s day or week, and he does
it in total, mature independence
of other human beings, friends
or family. His knowledge comes
early, then, that he is precious to
God. however small, helpless and
even, perhaps, worthless he may
be in the eyes of others. That
security is a very precious pos
session with w'hich to start in
which, although applying to this
one nation, is symptomatic of
what prevails in a very large
number of them. After explain
ing in theory the n.riure of the
State and of the Church and the
relations that inevitably exist
between them, the Bolivian Bish
ops proceed to examine the par
ticular situation in that repub
lic.
Arbitrary Acts
There is no concordat and no
legal basis for the regulation of
the relations between the two au
thorities. The national constitu
tion states that “the State recog
nizes and supports the Roman
Catholic Church.” The expres
sion is vague and, since no form
al agreement with the Holy See
has ever been signed, the above
constitutional provision has been
carried out in accordance with
the arbitrary will of presidents
end congresses. The constitu
tions have invariably provided
that the designation of a large
number of ecclesiastical func
tions should depend on the civil
authority. The traditional sys
tem of “royal patronage” that
existed under the Spanish mon
archs has been transplanted into
the Bolivian constitution, and
the state has continued to exert
an undue and totally illegal in
fluence in matters entirely ec
clesiastical.
The Bishops list a long series
of arbitrary acts in which the
State has clearly violated the
rights and authority of the
Church. Convents have been
closed, episcopal palaces taken
over for secular use, and relig
ious institutions seized for other
uses. Article 221 of the civil
code of Bolivia provides that the
State has full authority over the
clergy and its finances. Other
provisions exist which, even if
not applied, make it easy for any
government so disposed to de
prive the Church of its property
and its use.
Bolivia does not recognize re
ligious marriage, nor if baptism
allowed prior to the intervention
of the civil authority. In many
Bolivian provinces and cities lo
cal restrictions of a most vexing
character limit the clergy in the
exercise of its mission. The con
tribution of the State to the sup
port of the Church is noted as
both totally inadequate and only
a minute part of the value of the
properties and other sources of
ecclesiastical revenue seized by
the State over the years. The
Pastoral Letter concludes with a
strong appeal for the removal of
restrictions and real liberty for
the Church.
life, a dowry and an inheritance
even the richest pagan child
might envy.
And there is the wonderful
early discovery of true values,
strong enough to last a long life
time, truths that need never be
outgrown or thrown away. Very
few people in the modern world
have such a possession their
whole basic philosophy of life is
subject to revision when they
read another book cr meet an
other person. “What is life all
about?” is a question most of
our non-Catholic neighbors an
swer differently from year to
year: they look for a working
answer in over-work or “causes”
or love affairs. But the Catholic
child knows what Lfe is all
about and that love of God and
neighbor is his true vocation.
Everything else follows from
that. A technique of living can
be worked out from that single
premise. Sorrow and pain and
disappointments can be put to
use, can be “offered up” and
sanctified. But have you ever
considered how baffling and
frustrated a child will find his
daily difficulties if they seem to
come to him from a blind and
indifferent fate?
The mental climates of tha
Catholic and the pagan worlds
are as different as midsummer
warmth and arctic cold. The non
Catholic child knows sin, but he
does not know absolution. His
own failings appall him, at times
—but he does not know how to
relieve the sense of guilt. He suf
fers remorse, but not contrition.
He makes resolutions he does
not make Acts of Love, lie re
pents—but he repents to him
self, as Judas did, for he knows
of no God to whom to offer his
repentance.
Do you wonder that such chil
dren are confused why they
go in for dangerous “hot rod”
thrills or even become dope ad
dicts in their ’teens? Editorial
writers blame the parents—yet
no human being is really strong
or wise enough to be a parent
in a Godless home. He is trying
to pinch hit for perfection, to
replace God and His Church and
Sacraments alone. It can’t be
done, and it is hard on parents
when they are blamed for fail
ing at a task so far surmount
ing human strength.
One of the strong arguments
for Catholic schools lies in this:
that the child who goes to one
of them is kept safely and snug
ly within the world of the Faith,
along with others of his kind.
But in the other schools he will
meet boys and girls whose inner
lives are so different that they
may become confused themsel
ves. and imagine that the wrong
majority is right
