Moral Issues Involved
iiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiHiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim
WASHINGTON Moral is
sues involved in the use of
nuclear weapons are being
brought prominently to public
attention here.
Significant in this regard is
the imminent expiration of the
term of Thomas E. Murray as
a
member of the Atomic En
ergy Commission. Eor years Mr.
Murray has insisted on raising
the moral issues associated with
the use of nuclear weapons.
Members of Congress have
taken the unusual and perhaps
unprecedented course of recom
mending to President Eisen
hower that he be reappointed.
Ten members. Senators and
Representatives, of the 18-mem
ber Joint (Senate and House)
Committee on Atomic Energy
have joined in this recommen
dation. Mr. Murray, himself,
has let it be known that he
would like to be reappointed.
Mr. Murray received the
Ixietare Medal of the University
of Notre Dame in 1952 for his
distinguished accomplishments.
He received the 1956 Peace
Award of the Catholic Associa
tion for International Peace,
But praise for his works has
come from a great variety of
sources, non-Catholic and non
religious, as well as Catholic.
The CA1P citation in 1956 said
he has “consistently pointed
out that the use of force in
warfare is subject to the moral
law, that the dictates of con
science call for rational limits
on the size and number of
nuclear weapons.
An interesting fact If that
When asking a group of teen
agers whether or not it is a sin
to kiss on a date, they often re
ply with a loud moan: “Father,
why do you think we go on a
date?’’
Many youngsters now are
making fine (not refined) dis
tinctions when asking about the
morality of a kiss. They classi
fy their kisses into various cate
gories. the peck kiss, the tooth
crusher, the transfu ion. and so
on. The most telling answer to
the question, “whether or not a
kias is wrong,’’ the one person
they cannot fool is themselves.

By and large the Public Re
view Board recently established
by the United Automobile
Workers has had a very good
press It seems to be the edi
torial consensus that the es
tablishment of this so-called
"watchdog” committee was a
•tep in the right direction, a
significant contribution to the
cause of decent trade unionism
in the United States.
Inevitably, however, a few
dissident voices have been
raised in the Fourth Estate as
well as in the world of politics.
Raymond Moley, (or example,
dogmatically informed the
readers of his column in News
week-even before the person
nel of the Board had been an
nounced— that the whole thing
was window-dressing. The
Board, he wrote, “is to be se
lected, presumably, by the top
brass of the union and passed
upon at the convention of the
union. In short, Reuther wants
a
review of the affairs of his
union by a private, hand-picked
court.’’ Similarly, N. R. How

In Nuclear War Reconsidered
while Washington has come to
think of Mr. Murray in connec
tion with the moral aspects of
nuclear weapons, he could very
well be the most practical mem
ber the AEC has ever had. His
is widely recognized as an en
gineer and businessman, and
he personally holds some 200
patents.
Moreover, while he is usual
ly associated with the moral
issues of nuclear war. much, if
not most, of what he has said
and written has to do with the
most practical military features
of nuclear warfare. While he
recognizes the deterrent value
of large weapons, he has called
for greater emphasis on the
smaller weapons adaptable Io
limited wars.
Mr. Murray’s argument is
that massive nuclear weapons
are so horrible in their re
suits that the world just can’t
afford to indulge in an all-out
nuclear war. Meanwhile, an ag
gressor. appreciating this fact
as well as we do. can conquer
the w'orld piecemeal, through
small localized aggressions. Ag
gressors might be stopped, if
small nuclear weapons were
available to use against them.
Legislators who have urged
Mr. Murray’s reappointment
have stressed his courage, his
efforts to avoid political par
tisanship, and his advocacy of
the common good as the cri
terion in making policy deci
sions.
Mr. Murray has for years ad
vocated wider public under

This is an ancient sin always

a blueprint for sanctity and suc

Many a boy would like to
reach into the tabernacle and
fondly hold the ciborium which
contains the body and blood of
our Savior, but he must first he

Let the Record Speak
Several other commentators
and politicians arc reported to
have echoed the Moley Howard
point of view with regard to the
Board and its personnel. While
it strikes us as being a rather
cynical point of view, there is
no reason to take it too serious
ly or to gel all hot and bothered
about it.
The present writer is perfect
ly content to let the record
speak for itself. At the mo
ment there isn’t any record,
for the Board has yet to hold
its first meeting and some of
its members have yet to lay
eyes on one another for the
first time.
In the meantime, while the
Board is getting organized, it
might be well to outline the
scope of its authority and to in
dicate why we think it would
have been a mistake to extend
its authority into the area of
collective bargaining or eco
nomic policy, as recommended
by Ufc magazine. The above
mentioned Mr. Howard and a
number of other commentators

ated with radio active "fall
out." Here again his arguments
are being brought once more to
mind, by warnings and protests
emanating from numerous di
verse sources.
His concern for the threat
posed by nuclear weapons has
also led Mr. Murray to advocate
greatly increased efforts to de
velop peaceful uses of atomic
energy, particularly atomic
electric power. He has repeat
edly warned that our present
programs for (he development
of industrial atomic power are
not adequate and that steps to
accelerate its development are
urgently needed. Earlier this
year, in testimony before Con
gress. he again proposed meas
ures designed to rectify the
deficiencies in our present pro
gram.
One of the most recent ut
terances of His Holiness Pope
Pius XII on this topic has been
an urging that scientists of all
nations expend their efforts to
put nuclear energy to work in
the service of men, instead of
engaging in "this exhausting
and costly race to death." This
appeal was contained in a mes
sage which the Holy Father
gave to Japan's Minister Mat
sushita, who called uoon the
Pontiff in the interests of lim
iting the dangers of nuclear
tests and warfare.
The Pope s latest remarks re
call to mind that there has long
been one in this country who
has given serious and expert
thought to these problems. Mr.
Murray is that one.
pot segmental, it is personal
it is not just an episode, it is a
symbol of unity and security it
is not just a word, it is a lan

Passionate kissing belongs to
marriage and then it becomes
holy. Then it is a real surrender
and the verbs commonly used
to express it are “to give” and
“to take.’’ not “to lend” and “to
borrow” a kiss It was meant to

those who turn to them for the
caricature of love, the physical
relationship is entirely casual,
the occasion for a brief stimu
lation that too often leaves be

The passionate kiss in its Chris

means of grace between man
and wife.

with Article 32 of the Interna

(Article 32 of the International
Constitution deals with the
rights of individual members or
subordinate bodies of the

It will be clear from a ’end
ing of this text that the Public
Review Board has no authority
whatsoever to pass judgment
on the economic decisions of
the U.A.W. In other words, it
is not a policy-making Board.
To-be sure, it has extraordinari

Monsignor Glenn
An abundantly fruitful life as a priest of
God and a holy death is encomium sufficient for
the loved Monsignor Glenn whose untimely
dcalh last Saturday took from the Diocese of
Columbus a veritable tower of strength. But so
much more can and must be added in any words
o! tribute to the illustrious Rector of the dio
cesan seminary.
There were so many things about Monsignor
Glenn that instinctively bring to mind the great
Thomas of Aquin. Here, with his love of the
ology in the Thomistic vein, with his clarity
of thought, with his humility of purpose and
presentation with his deep learning and love
of philosophy, with his dogged and determined
devotion to Holy Mother Church and to Truth,
with his holiness of life—yes, and with his very
stature, there conies to mind that he was as
another Thomas Aquinas
His# humility in sharing his learning with
others was one of his most outstanding char
acteristics. His ability as a sacred orator, as an
educator, and as an author whenever and wher
ever evidenced was always of such caliber as
to be called illustrious.
The presence at the Funeral of so many of
his former students is indicative of the high es
teem in which he was held by all of them. The
number of young men who have become priests
that were recipients of Monsignor Glenn's pro
fessorial aid would go well beyond the one hun
dred mark. All of them remember him as a
great and lovable personality, and not just as.
a professor of philosophy with a genius for
clarity. To all of them he is already a legend
for today they arc recalling a thousand and one
little incidents that stand out in their association
with him.
Nor can his love of and thoughtfulness for
others be overlooked. His delight with little chil­

Unrealistic Proposal
The editors of Life magazine
enthusiastically approve of the
establishment of the Public Re
view' Board but would like to
see its authority extended into
the field of collective bargain
ing or economic policy.
We think this is a very un
realistic recommendation. As a
matter of fact, the proposal is
so thoroughly impractical that
one cannot help but suspect
that neither the editors of Life
nor Mr. Howard have carefully
thought it through to its logical
conclusions.
The logic of their proposal
is that the economic decisions
of management as well as of
labor ought to be subject to
the veto of a Board of outside
“experts.” Surely they would
not expect the U.A.W., or any
other union, to transfer its
au
thority in the field of economic
policy to a Board of outside ex­

We Belong To His Flock
Scarcely a passage in the Scriptures has
struck a more responsive chord in the hearts of
men, during all the Christian centuries, than the
Gospel of Sunday, in which Christ describes
Himself as the Good Shepherd, solicitous of the
welfare of each one of His sheep, so much so
that He lays down His life for them. In earlier
times, this figure had immediate and poignant
meaning to peoples who saw shepherds and
their charges all around them, and even today
it brings up a picture of peaceful content, of
sunny days and quiet nights, with the Shepherd
ever on the alert to keep disturbance and danger
from the flock.
The present lot of mankind is far removed
from this sheltered, wholesome existence, and
the natural yearning for it rises higher as life’s
turmoil and discord, its cares and woes, become
more pressing. And so. more perhaps than the
pastoral people to whom Christ's words were
spoken, we members of modern harried, mater
ialistic civilization should be heartened by the
assurance that we belong to the flock of the
Good Shepherd, and that, amid all wretched
circumstances that crowd is on us. His solici
tude and watchfulness are still being exercised
in our behalf.
“In know Mine and Mine know Me,” the Good
Shepherd proclaims do we appreciate the tre
mendous blessing that is ours in belonging to
perts unless the Luce Publish
ing Company. The Cleveland
News and every other corpora
tion in the United States were
willing to do likewise. Need
less to say, short of a first class
miracle, there isn’t the remot
est possibility that this will
ever happen.
And, in our opinion, there
isn’t any reason why it should.
On the contrary, there are
many reasons why labor and
management should not trans
fer their policy making author
ity to a board of outside ex
perts. Such a transfer of au
thority and responsibility
however appealing it may seem
to be as a theoretical proposal
—is not the answer to the prob
lem of inflation. Obviously dis
interested experts (economists,
political scientists, theologians,
etc.) have an important role to
play in the field of collective
bargaining and economic policy,
but they should not Jac given

dren. and their responsiveness to him was al
ways an inspiring sight. His humility with the
laity won lor him many ardent admirers their
number would have been legion had he not
been retiring in his life, desirous of keeping to
his friends of the printed page.
How he loved good books! The delight he took
in such humorists as Mark Twain, Bill Nye, Wood
house, was only matched by his devotion to
Chesterton, Belloc, and even Boswell’s Life of
Johnson. He could call upon a whole world of
incident of literature to enliven a conversation
and teach a lesson. His weekly column of com
ment in the Catholic Times was constant evi
dence of his ability to keep abreast of the times
and to evaluate the events of the hour. His col
umn was a special delight to others who, like
himself, were known for their reading.
After everything else is considered one of
necessity comes back to the thought that Mon
signor Glenn was always, first and foremost, a
priest of God. He had—and in his usual manner
of completeness—offered Holy Mass, finished
the recitation of the Divine Office for the day,
and was just setting off on the journey to his
home and family that were so very dear to him
when the end came. Feeling the intensity of
the new’ heart attack, he bowed his head, say
ing. “Jesus, Mary and Joseph,” and died.
The death of Monsignor Glenn marks the end
of an era at St. Charles where he served almost
from its beginning. His heart was in the train
ing of priests he loved to have his fellow’ priests
around him A vessel of election in all truth
fulness, to him can be anplied the words of Our
1 -ord to Ananias, about St. Paul: “For this man
is a chosen vessel to me, to carry my name
among nations and kings and the children of
Israel.”
May he rest in eternal peace
His flock, and do wre conduct ourselves in keep
ing with the honor? “And other sheep 1 have
that are not of this fold,” He goes on “them
also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice,
and there shall be one fold and one Shepherd
are we doing what we should, by word and ex
ample, to help these other sheep hear His
voice?
The two questions are really one, for if we
truly know' Him. and recognize Him as the Good
Shepherd, our first concern will be to obey His
commands and counsels there will be no self
ishness or meanness in our hearts, no wander
ing into evil ways. And we shall have a warm
regard for those “other sheep,” special objects
of the Shepherd’s concern.
Gratefully relying on the care of the Good
Shepherd, the Christian does not, of course,
evade the responsibilities that are his, or yield
to the influence of harmful conditions around
him. God’s grace operates through our human
faculties, and we are called upon to use, for
His honor and glory, to the best of our ability,
the intelligence and strength with which we
have been endowed. Thus we shall be cooperat
ing with the Good Shepherd thus we shall show
ourselves worthy to be called His sheep, and
thus we shall be speeding the day when all shall
heed His voice “and there shall be one fold and
one Shepherd.”
management.
Labor and management are
admittedly capable of making
serious mistakes in the field of
collective bargaining and eco
nomic policy. There is no ques
tion about that. We are con
fronted here with a moral as
well as technical problem to
which there is no easy short-cut
solution.
In other words, if labor and
management are morally and
technically incapable of making
the right decisions in the field
of economic policy, the experts
should be called upon to help
them correct their deficiencies.
But, short of a major crisis,
they should not be expected or
permitted to take over, as it
were, and to make their deci
sions for them. That w'ould be
to ignore the problem of labor
management re sponsibility
rather than to solve it. It would
be almost as harmful, in the
final analysis, as turning the
whole thing over to the govern
ment.
Father Healey’s
Q. In regard to the sick
who are allowed medicine be
fore receiving Holy Commun
ion what is included in medi
cine? How sick must they be?
A. It is required that such
a person consult a priest be
fore receiving Holy Commun
ion in such instances. Any
doubts about the details he
will solve, but the general rule
is that any specific medication
for sickness (even aspirin for
headache) is permitted, liquid
or solid. It is permitted at
any time before reception of
Holy Communion it is the
only one ol these privileges
that does not have a specified
time limit. Sickness may re
fer to anything of such sever
ity as to make the use of medi
cation reasonable one need
not be confined to bed.
Q. Is it a serious sin for a
mother to allow a child to
live his own life? Does the
child have on obligation to
break away, especially after
marriage? Does he commit sin
by doing so?
A. One of the most sacred
rights of man is the right to
freedom in choosing and in pur
suing his vocation. A mother or
father who interferes with a
son or daughter's right tn
choose his vocation is guilty of
serious sin. Advice and guid
ance is a part of the parents’
duty but the ultimate decision
must be, the free choice of the
son or daughter. Also after the
career, marriage, religious state
has been entered upon the par
ents arc guilts of serious sin if
they interfere with the son or
daughter in following that
slate. In Genesis (2:24) and in
the words of Christ (Matthew
19:5-6) we have a warning
against parents’ interference
with their children's marriage
For this cause a man shall
leave his father and mother,
and cleave to his wife, and the
two shall become one flesh'
What therefore God has joined
together, let no man put
asunder.” The child who fails
to recognize this new life and
his proper obligation to his
marriage partner also sins ser
iously. In particular cases, of
course, only the confessor could
tell the individual parent or
child the presence or the de
gree of guilt.
Q. My wife and I both have
to work on Sunday and her
hours are from 6:30 a.hi. un
til 3:00 p.m. In our parish
the first Mass makes it too
late for us to hear the whole
Mass or to go to Holy Com
munion and get to work on
time. What should we do in
such a case?
A. If it is not possible to
make some other arrangement
about working hours then it
is excusable to leave before
Mass is over. If you leave be
fore the Communion of the
Mass, however, you do not
hear Mass. If you check the
yellow pages of your phone
book you will find a list of
churches (p. 116) which have
Mass at 5 00 or 5:30 a m. and
one which has an evening
Mass on Sunday at 5:00 p.m.
for just such emergencies.
First you should check with
your pastor and if there is no
possibility of having Mass in
your parish earlier ask his
permission to attend one of
these Masses where you can
stay throughout and receive
Holy Communion. For more
particular advice ask your con
fessor.
Cj. Is there a St. Blanche?
St. Carmen? Kay?
A. St. Blanche was the holy
mother of St. Louis IX of
France She has never been
formally declared a saint by
the Church but the same name
in Latin is Candida (meaning
white) and there are several
saints of that name, including
one whose feast day is Sep
tember 4th. The Italian form
Biancha is also used as is
Gwen, the Welch equivalent.
There is no St. Carmen listed
in the lives of the saints. It
may be derived from Carmel
if so it would be in honor of
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Kay
is a variation of Caius and
w’ould come from St. Caius,
pope and martyr who died in
296 A.I)., whose feast is kept
on April 22nd. It may also
be a nickname for Catherine
or Katherine.
Q. It has always been my
understanding that only prac
tical Catholics can serve as
godparents at Catholic bap
tisms. I see by the paper that
Frank Sinatra whom I un
derstand is not such.
"was asked to serve as god
father for the babes of a Cath
olic couple and a Jewish
couple on the same day.” How
is that possible?
A. In the first place the ar
ticle docs not say that it was
done, but -that he wns invited
to act as godfather. It may be
that the parents had not
checked with the priest and
that it was not done. Tradi
tionally there have been ex
ceptions made for honorary
godparents who were not
Catholics in good standing
especially in royal families
etc. but such godparents
are not really godparents.
They simply stand by and are
given the name as an honor,
but the real godfather and
godmother must be good prac
tical Catholics. It is difficult
to find out the true picture
in such cases from the secular
newspapers for they do not
often understand Catholic
teaching and practice in re
gard to the sacraments.
Q. Is not the K of a
secret organization? Why do
members take an oath to keep
everything secret and act so
mysterious about the initia
tion etc?
A. The Knights of Columbus
is a fraternal organization of
Catholic men. Its purposes,
as listed in the National Cath
olic Almanac are: to render
financial aid to its members
... to render assistance to
sick and disabled members
to promote social and intel
lectual intercoure among mem
bers and to promote and
conduct educational, charit
able, religious, social and re
lief work. Its works are many
and varied and there is noth
ing secret about the organiza
tion in the sense forbidden by
the Church (as with forbidden
secret societies). There is
a
ritual of initiation, fully un
derstodd by the Church as ac
ceptable to Catholics, but
there is no oath of secrecy.
Members promise as members
of any fraternal organization
do to keep the details of the
“mysterious” initiation secret
but that is simply to drama
tize and protect the instruc
tive value of the ceremony.
Wives and non-members who
find the references of mem
bers to such matters disturb
ing should study the construc
tive projects undertaken by
the Knights and charitably
overlook the (I hope excus
able) indulgence in fraternal
secrecy.
Q. I have been troubled
lately with a case of scruples
and my confessor has given
me special rules to follow tn
confession. When I read of
priests giving different opin
ions on whether or not some
thing is sinful I wonder if my
confessor has the right to give
me these special rules. When
the priest tells us something
in confession can we accept
this as final and definite?
A. Although the individual
priest is not infallible even
in matters of faith and morals
he does speak for God and
when he gives direction in the
sacrament of Penance he must
be obeyed. Only if there is
some solid reason for ques
tioning his advice or direction
should another confessor be
sought. In all ordinary situa
tions a Catholic is quite safe
in following the advice or di
rection of the confessor. If
he makes a mistake it is upon
his head. For a person
troubled with scruples it is es
sential that he obey the con
fessor. By definition a scru
pulous person is one w'ho can
not judge rightly in moral
matters. He must rely on his
confessor and obey the con
fessor (as all Catholics
should) as the voice of Christ.
Any disagreement among
priests on moral matters gener
ally has to do with complica
ted questions. In confession
in particular cases the priest
has the common moral teach
ing of the Church to guide
him and the power of the sac
rament of Holy Orders. Th#
penitent can and should follow
his advice and direction.
