JOSEPH BREIG
TIBET’S JOLT TO INDIA
The most perplexing puzzle
of this century has been the
unwillingness of human beings
to,realize the open, unashamed
and even blatantly boastful vi
ciousness of tne anti-God and
anti - human
move ments
of our time.
Millions of
people clung
to imbellic de
lusions about
nazism until
nazi bayonets
were at their
throats; and to um uay mere
are similar millions who refuse
to Understand that communism
is unalterably sworn to their
destruction.
Incredibly, this obtuseness
has persisted despite the fact
that Hitler told .us forcefully
and precisely what he intended
to do to us; and although Lenin
Stalin and Khrushchev have
been equally outspoken about
their intentions.
Now the news dispatches tell
us that government leaders in
India have had their eyes at
least half-opened. by the Chi
nese communist brutality in Ti
bet. At last they have smelled
the communist breath; and have
found it bestial and foul.
MEMBERS OF INDIA'S par
liament shouted down, with
cries of “shame, shame,” the
communist members who tried
to defend the Tibet slaughter
by representing communist in
vaders as liberators fighting
against wicked Tibetan trouble
makers.
A motion was placed before
parliament declaring that the
Communist Party in India, by
its attempts to justify the com
munist killings in Tibet, had be
trayed the truth about where
its sympathies lay.
At this point, any one who
has made even a cursory study
of communism feels like throw
ing up his hands. How on earth
could anybody have doubted
for one moment that Indian
communist sympathies would
lie with the international com
munist conspiracy?
It ‘ is of the very essence of
being a communist that one
must give himself totally to the
communist aim of overthrowing
all non-communist governments
and bringing all of mankind
under a communist dictatorship.
NO ONE can be a communist
and be loyal to anything that
stands in the way of complete
communist conquest—not to his
country, not to his wife and
family, not to his religion, not
to his friends, not to mercy or
justice, not even to himself.
The leader of India’s People’s
Socialist Party, in a scathing at
tack on Indian communism, said
that if communist China were to
invade any part of India’s terri
tory, tnen India’s communists
would "welcome the Chinese.”
This statement was reported
as if tne speaker had said some
thing tnat was news. Yet those
who have not closed their eyes
and ears have known for 40
years that communists in any
land would oi course welcome
communist invaders.
Never have communist lead
ers deviated from the central
communist thesis that every
communist must follow every
twist ot tne party line, and that
tne party line aims always at
total conquest oi humanity.
LET ME TRY to state simply
the situation we face in the
world today—and have been
facing tor many decades. Sup
pose mat we look upon all tne
earth as a neighborhood which
is what it reany is; and let us
then examine our neighbors.
Most of the neighbors are de
cent persons, subscribing to a
code of decency. They have
faults and weaknesses, which
they admit; sometimes do
wrong and do not deny it; they
fail snort of their ideals and
are ashamed.
Gut one thing they are not—
they are not desperadoes thirst
ing for our blood. They are not
plotting to talk us into letting
down our guard so that they
can smash their way into our
homes and enslave us.
Hut there is one neighbor who
is different. He is the commun
ist; and he tells us bluntly that
he is out to break our backs. He
intends to crush us, and he has
told us so over and over in his
official statements.
WHEN WE ARE STRONGER
than he is, he will cringe and
truckle. He will smile upon us
and assure us that he is the
nicest fellow in the block. But
he will not repudiate commu
nism; he will not stop being a
communist pledged to enslave
us.
Now we are utter fools if we
say that the communist and the
other neighbors are all the same,
and that there is no reason to
take sides in the matter merely
because the other neighbors are
not utterly perfect in every re
spect.
Nothing more than normal in
telligence is needed to perceive
that the other neighbors are
men of good intentions, and that
the communist is a man of the
most evil intentions who has
sold his soul to a conspiracy
of cutthroats.
Why anybody should have
any difficulty in making this el
ementary and obvious distinc
tion, I am unable to fathom.
Theology
For The
Layman
( By F. J. Sliced )
SANCTIFYING GRACE (1)
When we come to die there
is only one question that mat
ters—have we sanctifying grace
in our souls? If we have; then
to heaven we shall go: there
may be certain matters to be
cleared, or
cleansed, o n
the way; but
to heaven we
shall go, for
we have the
power to live
there. If we
have not, then
to heaven we
cannot go; not because we lack
the price of admission, but be
cause quite simply our soul
lacks the powers that living in
heaven calls for.
It is not a question of getting
past the gate, but of living once
we are there; there would be
no advantage in finding a kind
ly gate-keeper, willing to let us
in anyhow. The powers of intel
lect and will that go with our
natural life are not sufficient:
heaven calls for powers of
knowing and loving higher than
our nature of itself has, we need
super-natural life: and we must
get it here upon earth. To die
lacking it means eternal failure.
We must look at Grace more
closely if we are to live our lives
intelligently.
Two things about it must be
grasped.
First: It is supernatural, it is
wholly above our nature, there
is not even the tiniest seed of it
in our nature capable of grow
ing, there is nothing we can do
to give it to ourselves. We can
have it only as God gives it, and
He is entirely free in the giving.
That, as we have seen, is ; why
it is called grace; and because
its object is to unite us with
God, it is called sanctifying
grace.
Second: Even the word super
natural does not convey how
great a thing it is. It is not sim
ply above our nature, or any
created nature. It enables us
to do—at our own finite level,
but really—something which
only God Himself can do by
nature: it enables us to see God
direct. That is why it is called
“a created share in the life of
God.” That is why those who
have it are called “sons of God”:
a son is like in nature to his
father; by this gift we have a

Q, How can one possibly ex
plain the allitude of Catholic
women who have no qualms
whatever about going into a
church dressed in clolhes fit
only for an amusement park, or
even for a beach? Immodesty in
clothes is bad enough, but there
is something especially disgust
ing about it in church. I know
some non-Catholics whose re
spect for the Church, and for
Catholic women in general, has
been considerably lowered by
Ihe example of some of our
women in this matter.
A. How it is that some of our
Catholic women and girls ap
parently have no scruples about
entering a church in attire suit
able solely for recreation or the
beach, is an enigma that can
only be explained, it seems, by
their failure to realize the scan
dal they are occasioning and the
irreverance implied in their ac
tion. The only other possible ex
planation is bad faith—a most
serious allegation in view of. the
nature of modesty and the tre- .
mendous holiness of a Catholic
church.
It is enigmatic, too, that very
few women or girls seem to be
unaware of their obligation to
dress properly for Sunday Mass
or public services. For some
strange reason abuses in femi
nine style in church are most
evident on Saturday afternoons
and evenings, during confession
time, as if a church were less
sacred then than on Sunday
morning, or as if the rules for
propriety in dress were sudden
ly dispensed with except for
Sunday Mass and public cere
monies.
How Catholic women can
continue to claim ignorance in
this matter is difficult to see,

point, i f the

would bring
his sweet
heart to a
priest for a
complel e
course of in
struction be
fore becoming engaged. This is
illustrated by the experience of
James Wolfe and Patricia Hausz
of Creston, Iowa.
“When Jim and I were going
together,” said Patricia, “Jim
told me how much his religion
meant to him and what a great
help it was. He brought me to
Sunday Mass, explained its
meaning and gave me a prayer-
book. I was greatly impressed
with the reverence and devotion
of the worshippers and my
curiosity was whetted to know
more about it.
“My maternal grandmother
was a Catholic but her husband
was a Protestant. There was no
Catholic church in the town,
and so when mother and her
sister were old enough to at
tend, they went to a Protestant
church and were baptized.
RELIGION A BOND
“When Jim and I talk of mar
riage, we both acknowledged
that a mixed marriage was not
the ideal. Religion should be a
bond binding husband and wife
more closely together and not
of cleavage. There are enough
ups and downs in marriage
without adding friction from
difference of religion.
“So almost a year before our
wedding Jim took me to the
Immaculate Conception rectory
in Creston, where Monsignor
Vitus Stoll gave me a complete
course of instruction. My mother
also attended many of the in
structions and this helped her
a great deal too.
“When I learned that the
Catholic religion was founded
directly by Christ fifteen cen
turies before Protestantism saw
the light of day. 1 knew then that
it is the true religion and alone
speakes with divine authority.
I now wanted to become a Cath
olic not only to have greater
unity in our family life but also,
and even primarily, because it
is the Church established by
Christ for the salvation of all
mankind.
“I was baptized in November
1948 and some months later we
were married at a Nuptial Mass
and were glad that I became a
Catholic. In the summer of 1950
father was stricken with a heart
attack and taken to St. Joseph’s
Hospital in Omaha. He was
greatly impressed with the kind
ness of the Sisters.
FOUR EMBRACE FAITH
“This and the example of his
Catholic friends, along with
God’s grace, led him, mother,
my aunt Mrs. Sara Knight and
her granddaughter Donna Ber
ger to take instructions from
Monsignor Stroll. Upon their
completion the four of them
were received into the Church
and are now devout Catholics.
“God has blessed Jim and me
with four lovely children. I
thank God that I took the com
plete course and not merely the
few required for a mixed mar
riage. Jim and I hope we may
share the precious treasure of
our holy faith with many
others.”
Like Jim Wolfe, many other
Catholics can help lead their
non-Catholic sweethearts into
the fold by setting them a good
example, bringing them to Sun
day Mass and especially to a
priest for a complete course of
instruction. Mere “marriage in
structions” are not enough to
lead to conversion.
Advocates of admission of
Red China into the United Na
tions and diplomatic recognition
by the United States have been
dealt a severe setback, ironical
ly, by the Peiping regime itself.

to the Nationalist Chinese on

And today, few statesmen ex
cept tne heads of the govern
ments of Soviet Russia and her
communist satellites, would
think of reviving the agitation
for the admission of Red China
to the United Nations. For the
current attempt to crush Tibet
has demonstrated to the world
tnat Peiping's policy is as im
perialist, as aggressive and as
rutntess as that ot the Soviet
Union.
SOURCE OF SUPPORT
Support tor the admission of
the Red Cniriese to tne United

Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nenru, of India, the govern

Asian countries, spokesmen tor
the British socialists, and, of
course, Russia and her satellites.

TWO LITTLE SISTERS
The story I am going to tell
you today is a true story. It
happened a long long time ago—
over one hundred years. It is
a story about a little girl named
Phoebe Cary, and about her
big sister Alice, who was four
years older than Phoebe. They
lived in the State of Ohio, in a
small low house with a big red
barn close behind it.
Alice and Phoebe Cary had
many other brothers and sisters,
but they were the oldest and
they loved to play together. One
day, when the two little sisters
were walking home from school
and playing a little bit by the
roadside, they found a tiny tree
that someone had pulled up by
roots and then thrown away.
They felt very sorry for the
little tree because it looked so
wilted and thirsty.
“Let’s plant it.” said Alice,
“and see if it will grow for us
if we take very good care of it.”
So they carefully dug a little
hole and put the tree in it. Then
they covered the roots with soil
and gave the thirsty little tree
a drink of water. Every day they
would bring more water in a
little jar in their lunch box and
every day the little tree grew
straighter and bigger. Now it is
a tall tall tree, over one hundred
years old, and all the people in
Ohio call it the Cary Tree.
There were many other things
that Alice and Phoebe did to
gether. They learned to cook
and knit and spin, but most of
all they loved to read books and
write poems. They had a secret
box all their very own, which
they hid under the stairs, and
whenever they wrote a poem
they especially liked they would
keep it in their secret box.
Once Phoebe wrote a poem
that she liked so much she sent
it to a newspaper in Boston.
The people who printed the
newspaper thought it was a
lovely poem too, and so they
put it in their paper. Soon
Phoebe and Alice were having
their poems printed in many
papers.
When the girls grew up they
decided to go to New York to
live and to spend every day
writting poems that boys and
girls would enjoy. Alice and
Phoebe wrote many many
poems, and some of them were
so very pretty that the children
wanted to sing them and so they
were made into songs. Would
you like to hear one of their
poems? Alright then, 1 will tell
you one of the poems I like best.
It was written by Phoebe Cary.
I can say it without even look
ing at the paper. Perhaps if you
read it over several times you
will be able to say it without
peeking at the words too. Some
day I will tell you of the other
poems that the two little sisters
wrote.

Suppose, my little lady,
Your doll should break her

Could you make it whole by

And say you’re glad “Twas

And not your head that
broke”?
Suppose you’re dressed for
( Continued on Page 5 )
coverings for women’s heads in
the House of God. I was quite
gratified that this custom was
adopted for almost 2,000 years.
Now my former commander-in
chief, St. Peter, informs me that
recent arrivals at the Pearly
Gates bring reports of the aban
donment of this practice in some
places. Or, what is perhaps
worse, the covering consists
only of a little piece of papyrus
called, I think, Kleenex.
ONLY A PEBBLE
“I realize humbly that you
are but a pebble on the seashore
compared to me. But I will be
grateful for any steps you might
take to correct this abuse. Un
fortunately, the distance makes
it impossible for me to return to
earth to handle it myself. With
the sincere hope that you may
be able to keep your head for a
few more years, I am, in the
Lord, St. Paul.”
There are some, I’m afraid,
whose answer to the whole
problem would be: “What dif
ference does it make?” Not that
a good Catholjp would question
the authority of the Church or
of St. Paul, of course. But 1
think the modern American in
difference to custom and sym
bolism has a lot to do with the
abandonment of some age-old
practices.
What prompted St. Paul’s dis
cussion of head coverings in the
first place? His own law, for one
thing—and the custom of all the
churches at that time. For a per

covered was a sign of authority

and independence. Covering the
head, on the other hand, was a
sign of mourning or subjection
to authority.
REASON FOR CUSTOM
It is true that the Church ele
vated the status of women to a
dignity unknown before. How
ever, from the time of the crea
tion of Eve from Adam, women
were made subject to their hus
bands. And because of this order
of nature and the law of God,
women are hot given an active
place in liturgical functions, ft is
■because of these profound con
siderations that St. Paul lays
down the law about women cov
ering their heads in church.
Presumably, nothing will
change the present practice of
plunking a fruit bowl or flash
light or feather on the head and
calling it a covering. Even milli
ners, however, would have to ad
mit that the Apostle’s reasons
for covering heads are all but
forgotten with these creations
around. A woman in church
with figures of the Battle of the
Alamo on top of her head is not
going to feel subject to anyone.
MANTILLA RETURNS
The return, or rather the in
troduction to this country, of the
mantilla is a good sign. With a
church full of mantilla-veiled
women, there might be a lot of
praying done. But even if this
idea doesn’t get too far (and I
doubt that it will), no woman
should go into church at any
time without a suitable covering
for the head. And handkerchiefs
should be used for blowing noses
and wiping ice cream from the
children’s mouths, not as a sub
stitute for hats.
Of course, covering of the
head is not the only covering
that should be discussed. I
would like to mention an old
friend who passed from our
