JOSEPH BREIG
Some We Head About
And so we enter Advent, and
go again on the road to Bethle
hem. There are any number of
people to whom this means no
thing; to whom Jesus Christ
means nothing; to whom life,
therefore, means nothing.
Some we read about in the
newspapers. Some we see as
they drift aimlessly past, or
scurry along in pursuit of val
ues which turn out to be spuri
ous. Some we know; some are
acquaintances; some even are
beloved friends whose hands we
hold across a gulf, to whom we
speak but are not understood.
Here is one — or here was
one. He piled money on money;
power on power; possession on
possession, fie had sycophants
to truckle to him, hangers-on to
flatter him. Reporters sought
interviews; worldly honors
were heaped up. And he took a
gun and killed himself.
HERE IS ANOTHER. She has
the beauty of face and body that
lies about the empty, self-seek
ing soul of her. She labors at
gaity, she clutches at pleasure,
and she is unhappy. She does
not know why. But her flitting
from man to man betrays her.
She wants love but for love
there must be more than flesh.
Here is still another. He is
immensely talented; he is bril
liant; his mind flashes like
lightning. But he is ill, or at
least is convinced he is ill. He
does not realize that his sick
ness is the disease of meaning
lessness. He is addicted to atten
tion; he wants all and gives no
thing. And he is miserable.
Sfill another — this one a
social leader, with a rich hus
band, a magnificent home, well-
bred children, and days filled
with Things to Do. The trouble
is that the Things to Do are not
worth doing — because she does
not do them for God. They leave
her, not unhappy, but simply
not happy, because they give her
no hold on permanence. Her
treasures have a way of vanish
ing.
ANOTHER — A CLOD. Not
that he was born to be a clod;
not that he is devoid of ability.
But nothing really interests him;
his life is a passing of time away
until he dies. No trumpets sum
mon him to loyalty and achieve
ment. He sees the pointlessness
of what the world offers; but he
will hear no other offer. He does
not seek; he does not knock. He
exists.
One more—and this is per
haps the most numerous. He de
clines to trouble himself. He
knows he ought to go upward
and forward but maybe his
business might suffer — or his
social acceptance. Or there is a
sin he cherishes. He does not
know that the bonds holding
him are threads that can be
broken with one strong effoi't.
Anyhow, he does not like effort.
He likes being pillowed.
I think, too, there are those
who attribute to God their own
lack of generosity. God, we
might say is a scandal to them.
And certainly it is true that if
God were not God, the good
news of Bethlehem would be
too much for credence. But it
is beyond the goodness of the
All-Good to make Himself one
of us, to walk and talk with us,
to be crucified for us.
HE DID DO SO. Because His
goodness and love and mercy
are unbounded, He came all the
way to us short of cancelling
our free will. That, He would
not do because without freedom
there can be no merit, no man
liness, no love. We face this
fearsome truth—we can decline
to receive Christ; we can close
our minds and hearts, and wall
ourselves away from joy.
What is agonizing about all
this is that the things which
keep us from Christ have no
substance. They are mere bogies.
The experience of countless mil
lions will testify that Christ
was stating the simple facts
when He said, “My yoke is
sweet, My burden light.”
I do. not mean that He will
not let coming to Him cost
something. He will let it cost
what it is best for us that it
should cost; He desires to lift
us as high as we will go. But
into the heart that turns to Him,
He pours graces to hold it sure
and firm; and with each step
taken with Him, joy increases.
The mirth of Christians, and the
sadness of pagans, are observ
able facts. Bethlehem is the
house of laughter as well as the
house of eternal bread.
Unless Christmas is spiritual
as well as material, its soul is
lost, and with the soul, the re
joicing. In some sense we must
hear the angels singing before
there is any real point in going
to the Crib.
Theology
For The
Layman
the nature
(Frank Sheed)
A man with an idea in his
head and love in his heart is
one man, not three men. God,
knowing and loving, is one God
—even though the Idea pro
duced by His knowledge is a
person, and
the inward ut
terance of His
love is a per
son; for as we
have seen, the
Idea remains
within the
mind that
thinks it, the
Lovingness within
that loves.
This is the answer to the
question with which we began
our study of the doctrine of the
Trinity. This is. what God’s life
consists of: the infinite inter
flow of knowing and loving
among three, who are one God.
Theology has formulated the
doctrine as “three Persons in
one Nature.” As a formula it is
a masterpiece, one of the might
iest products of the grace-aided
intellect. But while it remains a
formula there is not much light
or nourishment in it: there are
plenty of Christians for whom
“three Natures in one Person”
would have just 'as much, or just
as little, meaning.
Even so slight a study of the
Processions as we have been
making should have lifted us
out of that low state. The
Church has far more to teach
us about the doctrine than I
have set down in these columns
—more light, more of that dark
ness which comes of light too
bright for us. But we have be
gun to see meaning in the terms.
We must try to bring them
together in our minds, and con
template them not as a lot of
bits and pieces — person, nature,
procession, generation, spira-
tion; but as they have their
place in the totality of the reve
lation God has given us of Him
self. The mind must live with
the idea of the infinite spirit-
spaceless, timeless — uttering
His self-knowledge in a Son, Fa
ther and Son uttering their mu-

Question
Box
Jottings...
(By BARBARA C. JENCKS)
fDavid Q. Liotak)
Q. I know that the Holy Fa
ther is the head of the Church
and lakes precedence over all
bishops, and that by his office
he is empowered to act as
Christ's Vicar. But I can't re
member ever seeing a general
description of the pope’s pow
ers. Could you print a brief out
line of these powers?
A. As successor of St. Peter,
the Roman Pontiff enjoys not
only a primacy of. fionor. but
| byf ; divine right possesses su
preme and full jurisdiction
throughout the Church as re
gards all matters of faith, mo
rals, Church discipline and gov
ernment.
Supreme, because the pope
has neither a superior nor any
peers in this world, but is re
sponsible to God alone. All car
dinals, bishops, priests and the
faithful everywhere are subject
to him, regardless of whether
they are taken individually or
collectively. He can modify,
change or abrogate any purely
ecclesiastical law, no matter
what its source. Full, because
the Holy Father’s jurisdiction
comprises all and every power
(i.e., legislative, judical, execu
tive, etc.) necessary for the at
tainment of the end for which
the Church was founded.
THE SUPREME PLENITUDE
of papal jurisdiction can be de
scribed further as 1) universal,
2) independent, 3) exclusive, 4)
episcopal, 5) ordinary and 6)
immediate.
By ‘“universal” is meant that
the pope’s jurisdiction as de
fined above knows no territori
al limits. “Independent” means
that the pope exercises his pre
rogatives without respect for
any other human beings, and
that he cannot possibly be lim
ited in the exercise of his pow
ers. No power on earth can de
pose a pope.
The papal jurisdiction is also
exclusive. Some prerogatives he
cannot possibly delegate, i.e.,
that of infallibility, or an act
of universal jurisdiction.

• GIVE THANKS: “Teach
me, Lord, to live this prayer,
that I may thank thee everyday
for everything. I do at times
give thanks for what seems
good: for health, success: for
love and gain; for all that pleas
es self. And yet how thought
less — blind — to thank Thee
not for what is truly good: for
pain, unkindness, censure^
blame; for every hurt that comes?
from person, peace or work. By
these keen instruments would-
nst Thou, Divine Physician, re
move the harmful growth of
self, to give new life; Thine own
true life, and peace abundant
ly. But I am blind — see not
Thy loving hand; then in resist
ing suffer more and spoil Thy
work. Had I accepted all with
gratitude I might long have
been a saint and happy. A grate
ful heart cannot be otherwise.
Forgive, then, Lord, my blind
ness and my squandered life.
And give me grace, this day, to
see Thy chastening hand in all
my hurts — nor blame they in
struments; the grave to take
each purifying cross, and then—
give THANKS with all my
heart.”
* * *
• STRANGE how when we
grow older and when we have
suffered only then do we begin
to develop what is called the re
laxed grasp. It is not so import
ant anymore that we are right
or that we be understood. We do
not cling quite so hard. We
even lose our capacity to hate
and we do not even want to
hurt when we have been badly
bruised. Strangest of all, we be
gin to rejoice at the adversities.
We see in them a succession of
waves which bring us closer to
God. This is the strange thing
about the Christian. We suffer
and we do not scream that the
pain be removed. We do not
hurt any less but we are given
a grace to bear the burdens of
suffering and sorrow. It is the
crosses in life that make us
bearable. On this Thanksgiving
Day, it will be the adversities,
the stones in my roadway,
which will be the source of
much of my gratitude. It is
these agonizing disappointments
and hurts and sorrows which
have taken me apart from the
madding crowd and made me
quiet. Amid my sobs, I was giv
en a comfort which surpasseth
a!i r ,and, which make me know
fhe'tJuth lhat there is peace and
sweetness in the cross. Without
the cross, most of us would nev
er make it.
• GOD TAKES drastic means
to bring most of us to our knees.
It is only amidst adversity
sometimes that we see with the
right vision. Sometimes I am
fearful lest all the pain of living
and loving might be removed
and that my gaze might for a
moment be distracted from the
tpue goal. Ask those who were
in the war and in danger of
death if they did not hold to a
set of first values? Ask those
who are in hospitals, what is
the most important -to them?
Ask those whose loved ones
have been near death’s door
what is most important? All
seek God through petition that
they and their loved ones might
survive. How many return to
say thank you? We storm the
heavens for favors. In the clay
and puniness of our humanity,
we forget to say thank you. The
next step is when a sorrow or
disappointment can sting us
with agony and yet we can cry
out with gratitude to God for
sending us this adversity know
ing that it is the making of us.
Physically we cannot exist on
the diet of our choice, sweets,
and fruits. Spiritually we cannot
survive in our own way at all
costs.
• AND SO this Thanksgiving
while pouring out my thanks to
God for the recovery of my mo
ther, a work in which I can cre
ate and contribute to the greater
honor and glory of God, citizen-
“You shall be witnesses unto
me,” said Jesus to His disciples,
“in Jerusalem, and all Judea
and Samaria, and even to the
uttermost part of the earth.” It
was by bearing witness to Christ
and His teach
ings that the
disciples were j
able to spread
the Faith. It
was because
Joan Eagan?
bore witness ?
that she start
ed a chain re
action which has already led
eight persons into the fold.
“When I was teaching at the
North High School in Minne
apolis,” said Mrs. Alberta Knox
Noble of Boise, Idaho, “I met
Joan Eagan, a Catholic teacher
at Franklin Junior High. Joan
lived the Faith and was an in
spiration to all of us. I could see
what a powerful influence in
her life was her religion.
“I am descended from a long
line of Protestant ministers and
attended many Protestant
churches, but none of them sat
isfied me. They disagreed in
their teachings, leaving me con
fused as to what I was to be
lieve. Though baptized a Meth
odist, I was attending the Epis
copal church, which the minis-
t e r described as midway be
tween the Catholic Church and
the Protestant sects.
“My uncertainty and confus
ion were in sharp contrast to
the certainty and security of
Joan Eagan who knew what to
believe and why. She explained
the Catholic Faith to . me and
brought me to Mass with her.
When my interest deepened, she
got me in touch with Father
John J. O’Sullivan of the Incar
nation parish, who also taught
at St. Paul’s Seminary.
“He gave me a thorough
course of instructions. The cre
dentials of the historic Mother
Church of Christendom were ir
resistible. Especially appealing
was the beautiful doctrine of the
Real Presence so clearly pre
ship in America and most of all
membership in the Church
founded by Christ, friends who
share my ideals and goals and
urge me ever forward on the
Royal Road — I shall also thank
God for the tears, the bruises,
the plans and dreams which
have crumpled, the friends who
have disappointed, the falls, the
times I’ve misjudged or contri-
dicted, the physical pain and
especially the spiritual pain. All
these show me more than all
the world’s applause and com
mendation and good things that
I am made for God. Most of all
this Thanksgiving, I would
thank God that He did not leave
us orphaned and that each
morning c a n be thanksgiving
for me because of this. The most
important thing is that I begin
my day on my knees at Mass
thanking God for the things He
has given me which have made
me happy and those things
which He has sent which have
made me sad . . . those things
He has given and those He has
withdrawn. DEO GRATIAS!
sented in the sixth chapter of
St. John. With Joan as my spon
sor, I was baptized on Holy
Thursday in 1941 — one of the
happiest days in my life.
“Unknown to me, my 13-year-
old daughter Antoinette contact
ed Father O’Sullivan, received
instructions, and was baptized in
time to receive Holy Commun
ion with me the following
Christmas.
“My father, Charles Wesley
Knox, a 33rd degree Mason, had
often argued with me about the
Catholic Faith. I invited him to
examine it and not form his
judgment on hearsay. He did so,
and the more deeply he studied
it, the more he became convinc
ed to its truth. He was received
into the Church by Father
Louis Forrey in Minneapolis in
October 1951, and became a de
vout Catholic.
“Hearing of the Crusade for
Souls which Bishop Buddy
launches each year with such
success throughout the San Di
ego diocese, I wrote to him
about my brother John and his
family, who were living in La
Mesa. The Bishop kindly alert
ed Father Dennis Barry, the
pastor of St. Martin’s Church
there.
“Grateful for the tip, Father
Barry lost no time in getting in
touch with John. He invited
John and his wife Dorothy to
the Information Class, held two
nights a week in most of the
parishes in the diocese. Father
explained that they need not
commit themselves in advance.
‘Just listen to the evidence,’ he
said, ‘and make your own de
cision.’
“It was an ideal arrangement.
John and Dorothy felt at ease,
knowing they could drop out at
any time. But Christ’s truths
gripped them, as they grip every
open mind, and carried convic
tion to them.
“At the end of the course
John and Dorothy, along with
the other members of the class,
were received into the Church.
Their four children were bap
tized later. Thus did Joan Eagan
start a chain reaction which has
already brought eight persons
into Christ’s true Church.”
Catholic gains in the recent
election have again focused at
tention on the question whether
there has been an abatement of
religious intolerance in the Unit
ed States.
As a matter of fact, Catholic
candidates did
rather well.
More Catho
lics ran for
governorships
and seats in
the United
States Senate
than ever be
fore, particu
larly in the Middle and Far
West where Catholics seldom
are elected to high office. The
number of Catholic governors
and United States Senators was
increased.
Governors were elected in 33
states. Of the 66 candidates, Re
publican and Democratic, who
contested for these offices, nine
were Catholics. And of the nine,
seven were successful.
On the day the election was
held, five states had Catholic
governors — Massachusetts
Washington, Maine, Rhode Is
land and Colorado. The gover
nors of Massachusetts and Colo
rado were re-elected. Governors
Edmund S. Muskie, of Maine,
did not seek re-election, but ran
successfully for the United
States Senate. Governor Dennis
J. Roberts, a democrat, was de
feated in Rhode Island by a
Republican who also was a
Catholic.
CATHOLIC ELECTED
Four other states —- Califor-
By JOHN C. O’BRIEN
nia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wy
oming — elected Catholic gov
ernors, bringing the total up
from five to seven, a net gain
of two.
More significant, however,
than the gain in numbers was
the fact that two of the states
which elected Catholic gover
nors — California and Pennsyl
vania — did so for the first
time. Maine broke away from
its traditional preference for
Yankee candidates as recently
as 1954 when it first elected
Governor Muskie. And Colorado
put a Catholic in the Executive
Mansion for the first time when
it elected Governor S. R. L. Mc-
Nichols in 1956.
Of the 68 candidates for the
United States Senate, 15 were
Catholics. Also one of the two
Senatorial candidates in the
new state of Alaska, which will
hold its election later this
month, is a Catholic.
Ten of the 15 whose fate was
decided at the recent election
were victorious, and the proba
bility is that Territorial Gover
nor Michael A. Stepovich will
be elected to the Senate in
Alaska.
Six of the Catholic Senatorial
candidates were incumbents. Of
these, two — William A. Purtell,
a Republican, of Connecticut,
and Frank A. Barrett, of Wy
oming — were defeated, but
Connecticut elected a Demo
cratic Catholic.
A CATHOLIC PRESIDENT?
Four other Catholic Senators
were elected from the states of
Maine, Michigan, Minnesota and
Indiana. These gains will bring
the number of Catholics in the
Senate up from ten to 13—14 if
Stepovich is a victor in Alaska.
Three of the five new Catholic
Senators were elected in states
in which a Catholic previously
had been given little chance ot
success. Senator-elect Eugene J.
McCarthy is, in fact, the first
Catholic to be sent to the Senate
by the state of Minnesota, and a
veteran observer cannot remem
ber when, until this year, a
Catholic had won a Senatorial
race in Maine or Indiana — the
latter once a stronghold of the
Ku Klux Klan.
Two Catholic candidates for
governor and five for United
States Senator were defeated.
But in none of these contests
was there any evidence that re
ligious intolerance played a de
cisive part in the defeats. Whis
pering campaigns were waged
against two or three of the suc
cessful Catholic candidates, but
religion was not in issue in most
of the contests where Catholic
candidates were involved.
It would be easy, therefore, to
leap to the conclusion that, since
religious intolerance seems to
have been absent in the recent
election, this is an auspicious
time for a Catholic to run for
President. But the conclusion
would rest upon a shaky pre
mise, for it has been established
in the past that non-Catholics
who will vote for a Catholic for
governor or for the Senate balk
when they face the prospect of
a Catholic in the White House.

(Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY — His Holi
ness Pope John XXIII has de
cided to name 23 prelates to the
Sacred College of Cardinals, in
creasing the strength of the sen
ate of the Church from 70 to 75
for the first time in nearly 400
years.
Those selected include two of
the most prominent churchmen
in the United States — Arch
bishops Richard J. Cushing of
Boston and John F. O’Hara,
C.S.C., of Philadelphia.
In addition, His Excellency
Archbishop Amleto Giovanni
Cicognani, who has just marked
his 25th anniversary as Apostol
ic Delegate to the United States,
is among those who will be giv
en the Red Hat.
The consistory at which the
13 Italian and 10 non-Italian
prelates are to be raised to the
cardinalitial dignity is scheduled
for December 15. It will be the
first such consistory in nearly
five years.
Among the best known of the
men who are to be named card
inals are Archbishop Giovanni
Battista Montini of Milan and
Msgr. Domenico Tardini, who as
veteran collaborators of t. Pope ;
Pius XII in the Vatican Secre
tariat of State both declined the
Red Hat offered them by Pope
Pius in 1952.
In revealing that he was nam
ing Msgr. Tardini to the Sacred
College, Pope John also made
him Secretary of State. One of
the first acts of his pontificate
had been to name Msgr. Tar
dini Pro-Secretary of State.
The Pope’s decision breaks
precedent by going beyond the
Code of Canon Law on two
points. Canon Law 231 notes
that there are 70 members of
the Sacred College in all, and
Pope John will now bring the
total to 75. Canon 232 bars the
appointment of any man related
in the first or second degree of
kindred to any living cardinal.
Archbishop Cicognani’s elder
brother, His Eminence Gaetano
Cardinal Cicognani, Prefect of
the Sacred Congregation of
Rites, was elevated to the col
lege in 1953.
Mexico will receive a cardinal
for the first time. He is 69-year-
old Archbishop Jose Baribi y
Rivera of Guadalajara.
The list of those to be cre
ated cardinals is composed of
12 heads of Sees, five prelates
in the diplomatic service of the
Holy See, and six members of
the Roman Curia.
Among the new cardinals will
be Msgr. Alberto di Jorio, who
was secretary of the conclave
that elected Pope John to the
Throne of Peter. The Pope re
newed an old tradition at the
close of the conclave by placing
his own cardinal’s skull cap on
Msgr. di Jorio, thus indicating
that he would be made a card
inal.
The prelates to be created
cardinals, in order of their an
nouncement, are:
Archbishop Giovanni Battista
Montini of Milan.
Archbishop Giovanni Urbani,
Patriarch of Venice.
Archbishop Paolo Giobbe, In
ternuncio to Holland.
Archbishop Giuseppe Fietta,
Nuncio to Italy.
Archbishop Fernando Cento,
Nuncio to Portugal.
Archbishop Carlo Chiarlo,
Nuncio at disposition of the
Secretary of State.
Archbishop Amleto Giovanni
Cigognani, Apostolic Delegate to
U. S.
Archbishop Jose Garibi y Riv
era of Guadalajara, Mexico.
Archbishop Antonio Maria
Barbieri, O.F.M., Cap., of Monte
video, Uruguay.
Archbishop William Godfrey
of Westminster.
Archbishop Carlo Confalonie-
ri, Secretary of the Sacred Con
gregation of Seminaries and Un
iversities.
Archbishop Richard J. Cush
ing of Boston.
Archbishop Alfonso Castaldo
of Naples.
Archbishop Paul Marie Rich-
aud of Broadeaux, France.
Archbishop John F. O’Hara,
C.S.C., of Philadelphia.
Archbishop Jose Bueno y
Monreal of Seville, Spain.
Archbishop Franziskus Koenig
of Vienna, Austria.
Bishop Julius Doepfner of
Berlin, Germany.
Msgr. Domenico Tardini, Vat
ican Secretary of State.
Msgr. Alberto di Jorio, re
gent of the Secretariat of the
Sacred College of Cardinals.
Msgr. Francesco Bracci, sec
retary of the Sacred Congrega
tion of Sacramental Discipline.
Msgr. Francesco Roberti, sec
retary of the Sacred Congrega
tion of the Council.
Msgr. Andre Jullien of the
Sacred Roman Rota.
Thus Italy gets 13 new cardi
nals, raising its total to 29.
France and the United States
get two more cardinals each,
making a total of four American
cardinals and eight for the “el
dest daughter of the Church.”
