DALAI LAMA LAYS BLAME
FOR TIBETAN RETOLT TO
ANTI-RELIGIOUS ACTS
TEZPUR, India, (NC) — The
Dalai Lama, Tibetan spiritual
and temporal leader regarded
by his Buddhist followers as the
reincarnation of a. diety, blames
Red. China’s “interference” with
religious freedom for the Tibet
an-rebellion, ,
In a statement he issued in
his own name here in 'sanctu
ary, the Dalia Lama said. Chi
nese interference led to a,; strug
gle which took on. “serious pro
portions’ ’in 1956. He added:
: “In. the consequential strug
gle, the Chinese armed forces
destroyed a large number of
monasteries.
“Many lamas were killed and
a large number of monks and
officials were taken and em
ployed on the construction of
roads in China, and as the in
terference in the exercise of re
ligious freedom increased, the
relation of Tibetans with China
became openly strained from
the early part of February,
1959.”
Categorically denying the
Chinese communist statement
that he had been “kidnapped”’
by “rebel bandits,” the Dalia
Lama said he came to India
i'rorn Tibet of his “own free will
and not under duress.”

our natural habits, we see that
there is a real change in our
selves after we acquire them,
something in our very natures
leading us to act in certain ways
—to drink cocktails, for in
stance, or answer back sarcasti
cally. We say that a given habit
grows on us. Really it grows in
us, becomes second nature. The
theologians apply the word to
any modification, whether in
body or soul, which disposes us
either to do things we did not
do before or do more easily or
competently things we did. The
skill of a pianist is a habit.
It is in this sense that the
Theological Virtues are habits.
They are really in our souls, and
they enable us to do things
which without them would be

impossible for us. They differ
from natural habits in the way
we acquire them. A natural
habit is acquired gradually, as
we repeat some particular ac
tion over and over again: Super
natural habits are given to us in
an instant by God. They differ
again in the way they are lost.
To be rid of a natural habit—
drinking cocktails again—w e
must make a long series of ef
forts, supernatural habits are
lost by one mortal sin against
them. But while we have them,
habits they are, in the meaning
just given.
The drama of the Christian
life is that, acquired the super
natural habits, we do not lose
the natural habit. Our soul has
the supernatural power to act
towards God, but it has a na
tural habit of acting for self,
ignoring God. It has the super
natural ability to make the un
seen its goal, but a natural
habit of being overwhelmed by
the attractions of the visible. By
steadily acting upon such na
tural habits as run counter to
the supernatural we may, with
our own efforts and God’s grace,
bring our nature and its habits
wholly into harmony with su
pernature and the habits that
belong to it.
For all of us it is a lifelong
struggle. And its scene is the
will. The will is that in us which
decides, and it decides accord
ing to what it loves. In obedi
ence to God, our will is the
point of contact through which
the supernatural Life flows to
us. A mortal sin—a serious and
deliberate choice of our own
will as against God’s—breaks
the contact, we lose the virtue
of Charity, supernaturally we
are dead. We may still have the
habits of Faith and Hope, which
can be lost only by sins directly
against them. But they are no
longer life-giving, only Charity
makes the soul and its habits
come alive. That is why “the
greatest of these is Charity.”

prayer: genuflections, bows, and

In the eyes of the Church,
then, the body is something
holy. Hence it is deemed un
fitting, even repugnant, delib
erately and without most seri
ous cause, to reduce it violently
by fire. Rather, like the pierced
Body of Christ Our Saviour, it
must be laid, with all reverence
in a tomb or the grave.
The act of burial, for that
matter, is itself productive of
considerable merit, because it is
described by the Church as one
of the corporal works of mer
cy. Tobias, in the Old Testa
ment, was especially blessed by
God for his devotion to this
work.
The second reason why Cath
olics are forbidden to cooperate
in the practice of cremation, is
that from pagan times down to
the very present, cremation has
been generally adopted by in
dividuals and groups as sym
bolic of their denial of the res
urrection of the dead and life
everlasting.
Thus, in primitive Christian
times, the Greeks and Romans
who cremated their dead were
those who rejected an after-life
analogous to this one. Roman
persecutors, moreover, ordered
the tortured bodies of Christians
cast into flames, precisely to
manifest their scorn for Catho
lic doctrines on the after-life. In
turn, the early faithful habit
ually risked their lives to rescue
and bury the remains of mar
tyrs, precisely to manifest their
own tenacity as to the same
doctrine.
In our era, cremation is still
associated with godless, materi
alistic beliefs. In the nineteenth
century it became the trade
mark of pseudo-scientific socie
ties and also of Freemasons.
Today it is taken in general as
a sign of personal credence in
the fallacy that corporal death
terminates man’s existence.
Ecclesiastical legislation on
the matter of cremation is se
vere. Thus, Church burial must
be denied to anyone who before
death orders his body to be
cremated, even though the in
structions were not carried out
—unless, of course, he repented
before he died.
If a Catholic has in any way
ordered that his body be cre
mated, it is illicit to obey such
instx-uctions, and if provision
appears in a contract or last
will or in any document what
ever, it is to be disregarded.

Weakly Calendar
Of Feast Days
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
SUNDAY, May 31 — Mary,
Queen of the Universe. This
feast was instituted by His Hol
iness Pope Pius XII in his en
cyclical letter “Ad Caeli Regi-
nam” issued October 11, 1954.
He directed the feast to be com
memorated throughout the
world each year on May 31, and
that on the same day the con
secration of the human race to
the Immaculate Heart of Mary
be renewed so “that there may
arise an era of happiness that
will rejoice in the triumph of
religion and in Christian peace.”
MONDAY, June 1 — St. Jev-
entius, Martyr. He was a Ro
man martyr whose relics were
transferred in the 16 th century
to the Benedictine abbey of
Chaise-Dieu, Evreux, France.
TUESDAY, June 22 — SS.
Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs.
St. Marcellinus, a priest, and St.
Peter, an exorcist, were promi
nent among the Roman Chris
tians at the beginning of the
fourth century. St. Peter was
first imprisoned and through his
patience brought about the con
version of his jailer and family.
St. Marcellinus baptized them,
which led to his own arrest.
They were condemned to death
and were executed in a forest
in 304 at a place unknown to
other Christians. Their bodies
later were found and interred in
the catacombs. Many centuries
later, their remains were trans
ferred to Frankfurt, Germany.
WEDNESDAY, June 3 — SS.
Pergentinus and Laurentinus,
Martyrs. They were brothers.
Although mere boys when they
were dragged from their class
rooms, they proclaimed their
Christianity and were put to
death during the persecution
under Decius in 250 at Arezzo in
Tuscany.
THURSDAY, June 4 — St.
Francis Caracciolo, Confessor.
Scion of a noble family of Na
ples, he was born in 1563 at
Abruzzi. During his early years
he was afflicted with a skin dis
ease akin to leprosy and was
cured when he decided to be
come a priest. After ordination
with John Augustine Adorno,
he founded the Minor Clerks
Regular, one of whose main du
ties is perpetual adoration of
the Holy Eucharist. He was the
first General of the community
and was renowned for his ad
ministration and his preaching.
He died in 1608 and was canon
ized in 1817.
FRIDAY, June 5 -— Feast of
the Sacred Heart which occurs
eight days after the feast of
Corpus Christi and commemo
rates the love and sacrifice of
Christ for the redemption of
mankind. Generally this date is
the feast of St. Boniface, Bish
op-Martyr. He was born in De
vonshire in 680 and lived for
some years as a Benedictine
monk before embarking on a
missionary career. Pope St.
Gregory II consecrated him a
Bishop and sent him to Ger
many, where he is venerated as
the Apostle of the nation. He
chose Mainz as his See and
brought about the conversion of
thousands. With 52 companions,
he was martyred in Friesland in
755. His remains are in the Ab
bey of Fulda, Germany.
SATURDAY, June 6 — St.
Norbert, Bishop-Confessor. He
was born in Lorraine in 1080 of
a noble family and led an early
life of dissipation at the court of
Emperor Henry IV. He repent
ed and established the Canons
Regular, known as the Premon-
stratensians. Later he became
Archbishop of Magdeburg, re
vived the popular devotion to
the Sacred Heart of the Altar
and strenuously resisted here
sies impugning the doctrine of
the Real Presence. He died in
1134.
