JOSEPH BREIG
OUR PART HI Hin
Pope John in due time will
announce the details of the
world council of the Church
which he has called for the ed
ification of all Christians and
the reunion of
s eparated
Christ ians.
Mean w h ij 1 e,
comment must
remain in
large part ten
tative.
This much,
h o w e v er, is
unquestionable — sincere and
humble prayer for a great out
pouring of God’s grace upon the
troubled human race is the chief
contribution which each of us
can make.
The obstacles in the way of
full and perfect Christian unity
are great. Not to face that fact
would be unrealistic. But there
is a balancing fact. It remains
true, as always, that whatever
we ask of the Father truly in
Christ’s name — that is, in ac
cord with Christ’s will — will
be granted in God’s time.
OUR PRAYER however, must
be honest. It must be without
reservations or hypocrisies. We
must be prepared to face up to
divine truth. We must seek not
our own wills and self-servings,
but the will of Christ which is
the will of God.
The most poignant of the
prayers of Christ was His pray
er the night before His death,
when He appealed to the heav
enly Father that He and His
followers might be one. I have
taken the following passage
from Msgr. Knox’s translation
in the 17th chapter of St. John’s
Gospel:
“Keep them holy, then,
through the truth; it is thy word
: that is true. Thou hast sent me
into the world on thy errand,
and I have sent them into the
world on my errand; and I ded
icate myself for their sakes, that
they too may be dedicated
through the truth.
“It is not only for them that I
pray; I pray for those who are
to find faith in me through their
word; that they all may be one;
that they too may be one in us,
as thou Father, art in me. and I
in thee; so that the world may
come to believe that it is thou
who has sent me.”
We who are to be one in
Christ must be one through the
holiness that comes of truth—
the truth that is the word of
God. “Keep them holy through
the truth,” Jesus prayed.
Our prayer for unity must be
a prayer of holiness and truth.
We are not honest with Christ,
and our prayer is not honest, if
we water down some aspect of
the word of God to excuse our
selves for not living up to it.
What we ought to do, in this
period preceding Pope John’s
world council, is ruthlessly to
uproot from our hearts every
attachment to falsehood or
wrong which prevents our pray
er from being what it ought to
be.
THE PRAYERS THAT will
flood the earth with God’s bless
ings and prepare mankind for a
real movement toward unity in
Christ are the prayers that pro
ceed from clean and pure cou
rage. If we want unity, we must
pray with Christ: “Keep us holy
then, through the truth.”
It is true, for example, that
the Mass is the perfect prayer,
worthy of God because it is God
the Son, made man for us, sacri
ficing Himself for our

The question bow God created

God’s act.

“When I discovered the divine

Thus Mrs. Smith has two con
verts to her credit and with
God’s grace she may also have
a priest. Her kindness, good
example and solicitude for the
religious welfare of a young
woman and her son have
yielded fruit a hundredfold.
The right of a person to re
fuse to give information to a
court of law has recently been
the subject of no little comment
in the daily press.
In one case, two justices of
the Court of Appeals of the
United States
•—one a Cath
olic — deplor
ed the lack of

federal courts j|
that informa
tion confided
to a clergy
man in the
form of a con
fidential confession is inadmis
sible in evidence.
The appellate court reversed
a conviction in a lower court
on the ground that the lower
court erred in admitting testi
mony by a Protestant clergy
man based upon a penitent’s
confidential disclosure.
The right of a clergyman to
refuse to reveal information re
ceived from a penitent has been
recognized by statute in most
states since the trial in New
York in 1828 of a Jesuit priest
who had refused to reveal in
court information he had re
ceived under the seal of the
confessional.
Catholic priests, as we all
know, are bound in conscience
to keep absolutely secret what
ever they hear in confession.
The code of canon law provides
that a priest who breaks the
seal of confession remains under
excommunication reserved “in
most special manner to the Holy
See.”
By JOHN C. O’BRIEN
Most Protestants, of course,
do not believe in sacramental
confession, and few Protestant
clergymen are under any disci
pline requiring them not to re
veal in court what they have
been told in confidence by pa
rishioners.
But in recent, years the prac
tice of consulting a clergyman
for the purpose of unburdening
sins and seeking spiritual guid
ance has been growing among
some Protestant denominations.
Many Protestant clergymen are
encouraging such “consulta
tions” with parishioners and
some of them recognize the ne
cessity of observing the same
secrecy that prevails in the
Catholic confessional.
There is, however, no general
acknowledgement among Pro
testant clergymen of the obliga
tion to refuse to divulge infor
mation received in confidence.
In view of that, the two Court
of Appeals Justices already
mentioned would not leave the
matter to the discretion of the
clergymen. They believe the
Federal courts should uniformly
refuse to admit such informa
tion as evidence from any cler
gyman, regardless of denomina
tion.
A DIFFERENT QUESTION
Quite a different question,
however, has been raised by a
New York newspaper column
ist who refused recently to re
veal to a court in New York the
source of information she had
printed about a motion picture
actress. The actress considered
the information harmful to her
career and she was suing for
damages.
The court refused to sustain
the contention of the columnist
that she was not bound to give
testimony because the informa
tion sought had been given to
her in confidence and that to
compel her to testify would be
an infringement of freedom of
the press. The court held the
columnist in contempt of court
and sentenced her to a brief
term in jail.
Some journalists have at
tempted to portray the column
ist as a shining martyr in the
cause of freedom of the press.
Nothing could be more farcial.
In the first place, no informa
tion is given in confidence when
it is understood by both the in
former and the recipient of the
information that it is to appear
in the public press. The so-
called “confidential” cloak is
merely a dodge to permit an in
former to give publicity to in
formation without accepting re
sponsibility for its truth or ac
curacy.
And when the information
may affect the standing of an
actress, as was the case in the
proceeding against the column
ist, (she quoted her informant
as stating that the career of
Judy Garland was suffering be
cause she was too fat), the court
was justified in scoffing at the
claim that freedom of the press
was jeopardized by its insistence
upon identification of the in
formant or that the confidential
relationship between a column
ist and an informant was In
anyway similar to that between
a clergyman and a penitent.

Jottings...
(By BARBARA C. JENCKS)
(By David Q. Liptak)
Q. Really how serious is the
rule about not eating between
meals in Lent? It couldn't be
a mortal sin just to eat a little
bit, could it? How about a piece
of candy, for example, or a few
cookies?
1 A. The Lenten Fast is not a
matter of choice, but for our
own spiritual welfare binds un
der sin. Hence any deliberate
violation of the Fast, such as
eating between meals, would
constitute a sin.
Thus any person bound by the
Lenten Fast (i.e., every Catholic
over 21 and under 59 who is
neither excused or dispensed)
would surely be guilty of sin
if he were to eat any food out
side of the three meals permit
ted (one full meal, at which
meat may be taken, plus two
light meatless meals sufficient
to maintain strength). By food is
meant not only solids eaten for
nourishment or dessert, but also
those liquids which are general
ly considered more as nutrients
than beverages; i.e., eggnogs,
malted milk shakes and the like.
Examples of liquids which do
not break the Fast are: coffee,
tea, cocoa, soft drinks, so-called
chocolate milk, fruit juices and
milk (which is commonly served
in this country as a beverage).
WHEREAS IT IS ALWAYS
WRONG for one deliberately to
violate the Fast by eating be
tween .meals, every violation is
not a mortal sin. A slight viola
tion (to eat a few cookies or a
piece of candy, for instance)
would not exceed venial matter
in itself.
BUT A SUBSTANTIAL VIO
LATION of the Fast in the same
manner would certainly consti
tute grave matter. It would be
difficult to see, for example,
how one bound by the Fast
(Continued on Page 5)
• IT WOULD BE too bad if
good reading had to be taken
as a form of mortification. But
sometimes people who do not
read a book all the rest of;a
year will dutifully select one
and manfully plough through it
during Lent. As for me, the
amount of good reading all
around me is a point of frustra
tion. There is so much yet to
read and it seems there is so
little time left in which to de
vour the long list. However, I
never selected a book for read
ing from any Lenten list com
piled in a newspaper of maga
zine. Someone had to sell me on
a book. A teacher or friends had
to make it appealing and it had
to answer a need. A good review
once and a while also sells me
on a book. If I were asked to
prepare a Lenten reading list. I
would not know where to stop.
My gallery of writers would
make a literary Hungarian
goolash with their variety and
backgrounds. Only a few would
be considered spiritual writers
in the strict sense but all have
won me by their inspritional
value. The fact that an English
Anglican and a French existen-
sialist would be included would
not make it quite “kosher.” But
all would be topped by St. Paul
and his epistles or St. Francis
deSales and his “Introduction
to the Devout Lift.” For un
diluted spirituality, I would re
commend the reading of both in
large doses during Lent.

• A TITLE or author is not
enough to convince me a book
is worth reading. Advertise
ments rarely sell me. I want to
see a miniature outline or hear
a quotation from it and only
then do I begin to warm. My
Lenten book list necessarily
does not contain all my favorite
authors. This in a way is a good
test of literature worthy of the
eye-strain. While sifting and
v sorting my odd gallery of
writers, I left out this one and
that one because I thought that
he inspired me to want to write
only but he does not make me
or take me any closer to God.
My criteria of a good book is
that either it takes me to the
typewriter or it brings me to
my knees. Sadly enough many
of the writers I have on my hit
parade do not do the later. Even
though there are names here
which are not “kosher,” they
hold an element of spiritual
depth and inspiration. May I
introduce: Anglican T. S. Eliot’s
“Murder in the Cathedral”;
French existensialist Albert
Camus’ “The Fall”; Charles
Peguy’s “God Speaks.” Cardinal
Newman’s “Dream of Geronti-
ous” and “Second Spring,”
Myles Connolly’s “Mr. Blue,”
Bede Jarrett’s “No Abiding'
City,” C a r y 11 Houselander’s
“Way of the Cross” and Gerard
Manley H o p k i n s’ “Collected
Poems.” Only a few of these
books will you find on any
other Lenten book list. “Murder
in the Cathedral” and “Second
Spring” are both plays. “Dream
of Gerontious” and “Murder in
the Cathedral” are both avail
able on record which would be
a novel manner of Lenten
meditation.
