the qualities outwardly shown,
he will admit that the Church
does actually show them.
For the Catholic they are im
measurably more than that—
they are the outward showings
of inner realities. The showing
can vary from age to age, ac
cording as men respond well or
ill to the gifts of Christ. But the
inner reality abides changeless,
Christ made His Church thus,
it can never be otherwise.
The Church has the mark of
Catholicity, for example: she
has in fact taught all nations,
all doctrines, all ages from her
foundation to now. But in her
inmost reality, she is no more
Catholic now than when she
was founded.
When Our Lord established
the Church, it consisted of one
hundred and twenty Jews, it
had no age at all, its teachings
had not begun. And in that in
stant it was the Catholic
Church. For it had been made
by the universal Teacher and*

Life-giver for all men. That is
the inner reality, of which the
mark began to show as early as
Pentecost Day.
The mark has been more
spectacularly in evidence at
some times than at others; na
tions have joined the Church,
nations have left it. But it.is al
ways the Church through
which Our Lord offers men the
fullness of Truth and Life and
Union.
The inner reality is of the
essence, but the outward show
ings are of immense importance
as establishing the Church’s spe
cial and unique relation to God.
As a mark Apostolicity is
seen in a variety of ways, nota
bly three. First, the Church goes
back in a unbroken line to the
one that came to life in our
world on the first Pentecost;
by the laying-on of hands every
bishop, every priest is linked
with the Apostoles. Second, the
Church, like the Apostles,
teaches and has always taught
whatever Christ taught: at no
point has it ever been con
ceived, for example, that with
the progress of learning we
know better than He. There has
been development, but always
a genuine development of what
He gave. Third, the Church
teaches as the Apostles taught,
that is wtih complete authority;
at every age she has said what
the Apostles said at the Coun
cil of Jerusalem (Acts XV) “It
hath seemed good to the Holy
Ghost and to us.”
Two points may be worth
noting about the mark of Ca
tholicity. Every sort of nation
has joined the Church, each
feeling wholly at home. And
every sort of man in every na
tion has joined it, lived in it
and loved it. There is no such
thing as a Catholic type. There
are vast differences between
centuries and civilizations and
nations and individuals; the
Church is able to get down be
low the differences to that in
humanity which all men have.
Naturally, for she is made by
the God who made men.

BOX
(Continued from Page 4)
ed whenever a Requiem Mass
is wanted (and permitted), and
there is no particular reason for
the celebration of the first and
second kinds.
Both the funeral and anni
versary Masses are said to be
“privileged,” chiefly , because
they out-rank in liturgical im
portance the daily or ordinary
Requiem Mass.
Although there are several
Requiem Masses for use on va
rious specific occasions, such
Masses are not always allowed.
For the most part this is so
whenever a major feast of the
Church occurs. By a major feast
here is meant one of so signal
a liturgical character that its
own Mass must always be said,
no substitute Mass being per
mitted in its stead.
For example, not even funeral
Masses are permitted on Sun
days or holy days of obligation
(i.e., Christmas, the Assump
tion, the Immaculate Concep
tion, etc.). Likewise, all other
Requiem Masses are forbidden
not only on these days, but also
on great feasts such as that of
the Transfiguration, the As-
nunciation, SS. Peter and Paul,
etc. Too, anniversary and ordi
nary requiems "may not be cel
ebrated as a rule during major
octaves (i.e., the week following
Easter or Pentecost.)
The foregoing information
helps explain why a priest fre
quently must celebrate Masses
for the deceased in vestments
other than black.
Implicit therein also is the
principle that Masses for the
dead need not always be Re
quiem Masses. The Requiem is a
special Mass for the dead, which
the Church allows on days and
during seasons when no major
feasts or observances' occur.
Hence, the Requiem Mass
should ordinarily be used when
ever it is conveniently possible.
But any mass, on any day,
may be offered in favor of the
deceased. Essentially, there is
no difference between a Re
quiem and another kind of
Mass. The principal variation
regards ceremonial externals.
Every man another man sees
is just average — except when
he looks in the mirror.
The man with great confi
dence in himself tends to build
confidence in others.

Invitation To Tito
To Visit U. S. In
1960 Hinted Again
By
J. J. Gilbert
WASHINGTON—It has been
hinted here that Tito may be
invited to visit the United
States in 1960.
Nothing has been said offi
cially, but it has appeared in a
news forecast put together by
a prominent press gorup. This
may be just a prediction on the
part of the newsmen, of course,
but sometimes things of this
sort are “trial balloons” which
Government officials encourage
in their ascent. The results are
watched, and if there is no ap
preciable adverse reaction the
proposals are acted upon.
In the past all suggestions
that the Red dictator of Yugo
slavia be invited to come here
have brought vigorous opposi
tion.
In this instance, the forecast
reasoned that Tito is very much
put out because President Eisen
hower is not calling at Belgrade
on his multi-nation tour. It was
said that the Yugoslav dictator
has long wanted a President of
the United States to visit him,
and to receive in return an in
vitation to come to this country.
It can be seen how such atten
tion would greatly bolster the
prestige of the Red ruler.
It was also stated that Tito
is particularly angry because
President Eisenhower included
Generalissimo Franco among
those to visit. Franco, it was
observed, is one of Tito’s pet
hates.
It was then said that an in
vitation to come here in 1960
would be extended to Tito as a
peace offering.
Why ihere has to be a peace
offering extended to Tito is not
clear to everybody. Tito seems
to have said and done preify
much ihe things he has wanted
io do in his relations wiih ihis
country, except perhaps to come
here. There are those who main
tain it is worth almost anything
to keep Tito "independent" of
Moscow. At the same time, Tito
has proclaimed widely that he
is a communist and intends to
be nothing else. Moreover, he
has shown no particular friend
ship for this country except to
accept hundreds of millions of
dollars in U. S. aid.
In this connection, it is inter
esting that a prominent Wash
ington columnist has announced
that he has been “swamped”
with communications—“some in
a friendly spirit wanting infor
mation, others in ugly and bit
ter language”—because he ad
vocated the President’s visit to
Madrid.
The columnist, Constantine
Brown of The Washington Eve
ning Star, says that he has re
minded writers that President
Eisenhower is committed to
visit Premier Khrushchev of
Soviet Russia next year, and
that “Spain cannot be described
as a dictatorship in the same
sense as the Soviet Union com
munist China or even In
donesia.”
Mr. Brown says "Spain is no
longer a police state" and "is a
managed democracy' with the
controls of government in the
hands of Gen. Francisco Franco
assisted by a responsible cabinet
and a parliament appointed
partly by labor unions and pro
fessional people."
"The whole structure and
philosophy of the Soviet gov
ernment is avowedly the bitter
est and most determined enemy
this country ever had," Mr.
Brown stated.

Hugh L Lamb

GREENSBURG, Pa.,—Solemn
Pontifical Requiem Mass for the
Most Rev. Hugh L. Lamb, 69,
first Bishop of Greensburg, was
offered in the Cathedral of the
Blessed Sacrament.
The Mass was offered (Dec.
15) by Bishop George L. Leech
of Harrisburg, while Archbishop
John Mark Gannon, Bishop of
Erie, presided. His Eminence
John Cardinal O’Hara, C.S.C.,
Archbishop of Philadelphia, was
unable to attend.
Bishop Lamb had been active
and in apparent good health
until four days before his death
when he entered the hospital
for treatment of a minor dis
order. A heart attack caused his

Cans© Censorship
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
LOS ANGELES — A leading
daily newspaper has warned the
movie industry that it is facing
official censorship and a boy
cott by a revolted public.
An editorial entitled “The
Foolhardy Movie Producers” in
the Los Angeles Times (Dec. 9)
said that “in the gathering
storm over movie indecencies”
the producers were inviting
calamity and were bound to
lose.
Some movie producers, the
paper said, “apparently are re
solved not to retire to their old
line of defense, self-censorship,
which they held successfully for
more than two decades. They
overtly abandoned that line last
month when they rejected a
decision of the Production Code
Administration in Hollywood.”
The reference was to “Happy
Anniversary” which dealt with
premarital sex relations.
The Times said the industry,
or part of it, “is literally daring
censorship to do its worst. All
the lessons of the past are for
gotten.”
“There are only five state
censorship boards now, but
there used to be more, and with
varied sanctions. Some of them
(like the present Pennsylvania
board) could censor a film after
it was exhibited, the hardest
blow, from the producers’ view
point, that can be struck against
them,” the editorial said.
The paper warned that the
producers were risking calamity
for the sake of getting money
while they can from sex and
violence at the box office.
Calling this “a short view,”
the Times continued: “They
support their position with sev
eral sophistries: One of them is
that the movies have become
‘adult’ along with plays and
books. If plays and books and
movies had the same audience,
limited to adults, the argument
might have some force.
“But the movie audience,
particularly that part of the
audience that is attracted by
the non-Euclidean varieties of
sex, is not wholly adult; it con
tains many adolescents and
children. “And that is the rub.”
“The producers and exhibitors
know that the ‘adult’ argument
is false, else they would not be
so enraged at the classification
proposals. They do not want
their product labeled ‘adults
only,’ and that is a confession
that they know the part of the
public that is paying to see their
prettied up peep shows.”
The editorial said that al
though the movie people had
forgotten the lesson of history,
they coud learn a lesson from
television’s present predica
ment.
The Times said: “Having been
caught out on the quiz shows
and other fraudulent practices,
the TV companies are busy now
with codes and other compacts
of holiness.”
“The movie people are not
being brave; they are just
greedy and foolhardy,” the edi
torial added. “They put their
friends, and all people who
abhor and fight censorship, in
a false position.
“And they are bound to lose.
It the official censorship doesn’t
ge them after all, the revolting
public will boycott them. The
movies will become the skid
row of the arts.”
In making these observations,
the editorial took notice / that
the General Board of the Na
tional Council of Churches of
Christ (Protestant) now is pon
dering a report on sex and vio
lence in motion pictures. The
editorial also referred to a pro
posal for a joint religious clean
up of film? made by Bishop
James A. McNulty, of Paterson,
N. J., chairman of the Catholic
Bishops’ committee on Motion
Picture, Radio and Television.
death, physicians said.
The day following the Bishop’s
death Msgr. Cyril J. Vogel,
Chancellor, was elected admini
strator of the Greensburg dio
cese at a meeting of the diocesan
board of consultors. He will
administer the diocese until a
successor to Bishop Lamb is
enthroned.
Cultivate new ideas and
you’ll have the world’s best
paying crop.
