Priest Challenges Widely
Accepted Political Axioms
INDIANAPOLIS (NO A priest challenged three
commonly accepted political axioms in a speech here.
Speaking at a Serra Club luncheon. Msgr. Victor L.
Goossens, Indianapolis archdiocesan director of the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith and pastor of St. Mary’s
church, said:
—Government* de net de
rive their power from the con
sent of the govern*©. Th* pow
er come* directly from God.
—Mon are not created equal.
They are created with equal
right*.
—Democracy is not neces
sarily th* best form of govern
ment. Under certain conditions
a monarchical regime might bo
mor* advantageous for th* citi
zen*.
Msgr. Goossens supported his
statements by citing the political
writings of Pope I-eo XIII. The
priest said that while Pope Leo’s
“Rerum Novarum’’ is best known,
he wrote nine encyclicals on so
cial problem* during his long
pontificate.
“Rulers receive their office
from the electorate but their
power comes from God,” the
priest stated. He cited as support
the following quotation from
Pope. Leo XIII’s encyclical on civ
il government, “Diuturnum”:
"Tho«* who ar* placed ©ver
th* Stat* may in certain case*
ba chosen by th* will and de
cision of the multitude but
the rights of ruling ar* not
thereby conferred. As regards
political power, the Church
rightly teaches that it comes
from God.”
Since those in political office
derive their power to govern
from Almighty God, Msgr. Goos
sens said, it follows that they
have a grave moral responsibility
to rule in a manner that is in
complete conformity with the law
of God—a responsibility that is
often overlooked today.
“Just because they are elect
ed by the people, some office
holders have the mistaken no
tion that their only moral obli
gation is to their constituents,"
he said. “Nothing, of course,
could be farther from the
truth."
The commonly accepted axiom
that “all men are created equal”
should be amended to read “all
men are created with equal
rights.” Msgr. Goossens suggest
ed. “The inequities in nature it
self negate the notion of absolute
human equality,” he asserted.
The Monsignor pointed out that
wide differences in intellectual
endowments, health, social strata,

and the like make it obvious that
all men are not created equal.
The third point in modern po
litical philosophy which is refut
ed by Pope I^o XIII, Msgr. Goos
sens said, is the theory that de
mocracy is the only acceptable
form of government.
“.Just because we in America
have thrived on one form of gov
ernment,’’ he asserted, “does not
mean that other form* of govern
ment are unworkable or undesir
able.’’
A king er an absolute mon
arch, might conceivably be a
better type of ruler for a cer
tain nation or under a given »et
of circumstances, th* Monsig
nor declared.
“The important point that Pope
I-co stresses," he added, “is the

In the winter they live in a
small “pueblo” called Paras, near
Monterrey, Mexico, where there
is not always a priest or padre
available for Confession, First
Communion or even Maas, for
there is a great shortage of priests
in Mexico.
They were quite apologetic
about not having made lheir First
Communion before. They move
1 around tn different places
throughout the United States
from April tn October so there
is little opportunity for formal
catechism instruction.
Like the Trevinn camp many
other children of all ages attend
ed the classes and all participated
in the discussions at one time or
another. They are also very hard
workers and sometimes it would
be very late when they returned
to the camp from the “labores” or
fields.
They often came to class eating
“tortillas” on the way so that they
wouldn’t have to miss the lesson.
They usually liked to clean up
first for they are a very clean
people and take pride in being
neat and clean but some eve
nings they came in their work
clothes.
They always apologized for be
ing so “mugrosos” or dirty from
the black loam in w’hich they
worked and played. The older
muchachas and the strong young
er muchachos, boys, work in the
fields to help earn enough to pro
vide food for their large families.

They, too, are very bright and

Spanish catechism books to the
fields with them to study. (We
really take our educational op
portunities for granted here, “ver

sacred medals to their clothing as
there were no chain medals for

self. They would often sing to
their songs in Spanish that are
sung in their mast in Mexico.
These are very beautiful songs.
Next year we hope to teach them
a few *ongs in English. As they
are ao interested in learning Eng
lish, I hope to have more time
next year to organize English
classe* They had fun teaching
“Padre” Schneider the prayers in
Spanish.
The patience they have is re
markable. They all tell me that I
have improved my Spanish accent
thie summer and I know that I
have learned many useful expres
sions of daily life that I had not
had the chance to use before.
This experience has been more
valuable than a summer spent at
the University of Mexico. I also
have learned more catechism and
I now have a much deeper under
standing and apreciation of the
Faith. Padre Schneider certainly
had a beautiful way of explaining
our Faith and I in turn tried to
present it in that way to the
“mexicanos”. We also learned
from them through some of their
interpretations of different phas
es of the Faith.
Some of the classes became
quite .exciting and “ammadas*
when the ninos all wanted to an
swer the questions at the same
time I would also forget myielf
and hurl a barrage of Spanish at
poor “Padre” Schneider, who
would give me a dumbfounded
look, then burst into laughter at
my rush nf words. We would’all
laugh heartily, then start again in
English.
The recitation nf the Rosary
each night out under the stars
(unless it rained) was very im
pressive. One of the older girl*
led the prayers and even the lit
tle tots ehimed in with the Padre
Nuestro and the Ave Maria.
They recited the Rosary very
slowly and clearly so that Padre
Schneider might recite the pray
ers in Spanish with them. This
amused and awed the little ones.
At the end of the rosary they re
cite the Litany of the Blessed
Virgin.
Several evenings the mothers
wearing black “Chalinas” or
hawls would kneel down with us
to say the rosary to pray for sun
ny days so that they might work
every day. (There had been much
rain and it was to be a bad year
for them.)
They are not a complaining
peopl e and they resign them
selves to what God sends to them,
but they do bke to have enough
food and clothing for their fami
lies.

somewhat worried about going to
