ciples, he can be schooled
more fully in the concept of
God as the Supreme Judge
and, consequently, Supreme
Avenger of the moral order.
For once a child has learned
to recognize God as a loving
Father, he will be naturally
drawn to obey the divine will,
not out of servile fear for the
punishment God metes out for
sins, but out of a conviction
that moral action pleases God.

Q. Where does the word
"catechism" come from?
A. “Catechism” derives ulti
mately from a Greek verb
meaning “to teach orally.” The
verb was used by the New
Testament writers, especially
by St. Paul and St. Luke, with
specific reference to instruc
tions in Christian doctrine.
* * *
Q. What was the first
catechism?
A. Documents thus far avail
able indicate that the first
doctrinal instruction some
what resembling our modern
catechism was a Latin work
prepared by Alcuin (735-804);
or, according to a few histori
ans, by one of his contempora
ries. The work is a question
and answer explanation of the
Creed and the Our Father.
* * *
Q. What is the difference
between the catechism and
"Bible History?"
A. Bible History can be de
scribed, in one'sense, as a pic
torial commentary on the cate
chism. Thus, the catechism
presents abstract definitions of
God and his . attributes, while
Bible History illustrates, by
concrete examples, the divine
omnipotence (i.e,, the story of
creation); the divine provi
dence (the story -of Joseph);
the divine love (the story of
Christ’s Passion and Death);
etc.

of the world’s beauties and
joys down in our very being
there throbs a pain or longing
for something still more.
• GREAT MOMENTS IN
literature and music have been
prompted by the theme of
death. It has. given many writ
ers and poets, their noblest
moments and the world’s a
treasure of masterpieces.
Our own deaths will be our
greatest triumph. The death of
our loved ones will refocus
the eye and remind again that
here we have no lasting home.
For v/hile we feel the sun on
our faces today and taste the
coolness of waters in New
man’s words of the angel of
death: “Swiftly shall pass thy
night of trial here, and I will
come and wake thee on the
morrow.”

(Continued from Page 4)
they are acquainted with the
type of separation of Church
and State that was . forced
upon France, Germany and
Italy within the last hundred
years.
In those countries, separa
tion meant something vastly
different from what it means
here. In the United States,
separation means state neu
trality, i.e. cooperation with
religion in general without
special favors to any particu
lar sect. In Europe it meant.
that the government declared
war on the Church.
In France, for instance, the
law of separation of Church
and state in 1905 decreed that
all Church, buildings were ap
propriated by the government,
the faithful being allowed to
petition the government peri
odically for permission, to wor
ship as associations but for all
practical purposes, the Cath
olic Church in France was dis
banded. No wonder the Popes
denounced this type of separa
tion.
What is needed, I believe, is
more “cultural exchanges” be
tween American and European
theologians. This summer
while in Europe I talked with
many theologians and was
amazed to find few had visi
ted America and how little
they knew about the status
of the Church in the United
States.
If American theologians
would spread the “good word”
in Europe and if European
theologians would see how the
Church, here prospers under
the first amendment, both
would trip to persuade the
coming Ecumenical Council to
clarify Catholic teaching on
Church-state relations. Until
there is such clarification, we
can expect Protestants to feel
uneasy about their fate in a
Catholic America.

DORIS REVERE PETERS
YOUTH
BUILD CHARACTER NOW
TO PREPARE FOR MARRIAGE
Dear Doris:
I’m a high school senior. Do
you think Catholic High
Schools give sufficient instruc
tion on marriage to seniors
who may not go on to college?
Joseph
Many Catholic high schools
give excellent courses in mar
riage. But, courses alone,
whether on the high school or
college level aren’t sufficient
preparation for marriage.
The fellows who go to col
lege will find religion, philoso
phy, sociology and other sub
jects helpful for family living.
But a sound preparation for
marriage does not depend on
a college education. Among
other things, it depends on
how well you use the oppor
tunities afforded you right
now — in high school and out
— for intellectual and spirit- *
ual growth.
TRAINING GROUND
Begin at home. The example
of your own home is priceless.
It also offers, a productive
training ground in the practi
cal skills necessary. Take part
in family affairs. Help with
home repairs.
Develop moral and spiritual
strength through school and
extracurricular activities. You
can learn perseverance and
how to discipline your emo
tions by sticking to unpleasant
and difficult school tasks; by
participation in sports.
Use your social life wisely.
Be prudent in your choice of
companions. Become acquaint
ed with many Catholic girls.
Discover what you like — and
dislike—in their personalities.
Read. There are excellent
books and pamphlets on mar
riage preparation. Your teach
er and your pastor will be
able to recommend many. Try
to set aside a few minutes
each day for spiritual reading
too.
Ask your pastor about The
Pre Cana Conferences offered
in the diocese. These are truly
excellent courses offered to all
contemplating marriage.
And last, but not least, go
to the sacraments regularly—
and pray. And when you pray,
Joseph, ask your name saint
to guide you. Certainly St.
Joseph knows what it takes to
be a good husband.
FULL SCHEDULE
Dear Doris:
I’m 14. Lately I lose my
patience very easily with my
brother who is three years
old. When I do my mother gets
upset and hollers at me. She
takes my brother’s part. He is
bold, talks back and hits for
no reason.
I think I lose my patience
because I have to mind him
so much. When my mother
washes, irons, or cleans I have
to watch Bryan so she can
finish. She has a part time
job until six. She then goes to
visit my sick grandmother un
til eight. Then I can go out.
Could you give me a few sug
gestions on how to keep from
losing ' my patience so my
mother will stop hollering at
me?
Karen
Both you and your mother
have a pretty full schedule.
Your mother is obviously
trying very hard to do her
►best under unusually difficult
circumstances. The “hollering”
you complain of is a result
of the strain she is under. A
home, children, job, cleaning,
laundry and a sick mother
add up to quite a responsibil
ity for her. And- it is not easy
for you to keep up with your
school work and help your
mother too.
Some variety in the routine
you described would help.
Why not take over the clean
ing or ironing while your
mother spends some time with
Bryan? This will relieve the
monotony of the routine for
all three of you.
A younger brother is kind
of special. Irritating at times,
yes; but lovable too. Your
impatience shows rather than
your love. Bryan is reacting.
He is looking for more love
and attention. At 14 you’re
not expected to know this or
to be expert in handling chil
dren. These few suggestions
may give you some ideas and
help.
Take him to the park or
down the street where there
are other children his age.
Let him use his excess energy
running after a ball. Get a
box of crayons in the dime
store and let him draw or
just scribble. Read him a
story. In general concentrate
on keeping him busy and oc
cupied and you won’t have
time to lose your patience.
Bryan’s disposition will im
prove too.
It won’t be easy, Karen, but
it will be rewarding. You’re
getting excellent experience
which you can use later in
