LAKEWOOD PARK
LONDON. (NC) — Malta’s 320,-
000 Catholics are alarmed by the
charges of England’s Anglican
Primate that the Church on Brit
ain’s Mediterranean island colony
is “intolerant.”
This was reported here by the
Catholic Herald, national Catho
lic weekly.
The Herald’s correspondent
stated that non-Catholics visiting
the island “enjoy complete free
dom of worship. We are not
aware of any lack of religious tol
eration.”
At a recent meeting of the
Church Assembly, governing
body of the state-supported
Church of England, Dr. Goeffrey
Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury,
said Anglicans and others had
“often and grieviously” been de
nied their proper liberties. The
Archbishop, however, gave no
evamples of the alleged intol
erance.
Malta, whose population is
about 99 per cent Catholic, is now
for economic and strategic rea
sons seeking full integration in
the United Kingdom. Under its
Socialist Prime Minister, Dom
Mintoff, it wants to acquire a
status similar to that of Northern
Ireland.
Archbishop Michael Gonzi of
Malta has advised against the
proposed integration. Maltese
Catholics fear the Church would
be endangered if the island be
comes a part of a non-Catholic
country.
Archbishop Fisher disclosed at
the Church Assembly that he had
put off for the time being a mo
tion declaring that the Anglican
authorities here “concerned at the
extent to which the Anglican and
other religious minorities in the
island of Malta continue to suf
fer discriminating disabilities in
consistent with their right to tol
erance,” should “make it clear
beyond all doubt that no scheme
for integration with Britain can
be acceptable which does not in
clude specific guarantees for re
ligious liberties in Malta under
the civil law.”
He added that he had sent a

| memorandum on the subject to
British Colonial Secretary Alan
Lennox-Boyd and the Lord Chan
cellor, Lord Kilmuir, who is the
Queen’s chief political advisor.
The Catholic Herald pointed
out that the declaration of rights
establishing Malta as a British
colony in 1802 laid down that
the British sovereign is the pro
teetor of the Catholic religion
there and is bound to uphold and
protect it. The Catholic Times,
national weekly, said that though
the Catholic religion has always
been the religion of Malta, which
was traditionally converted by
St. Paul himself, non-Catholic
sects are tolerated and have their
own schools.
Non-Catholics are barred from
proselytizing and holding relig
ious processions in the streets.
For Catholics and those in mixed
marriagse the marriage law is
canon law. For non-Catholics
their own marriage services are
accepted.
The only actual clash between
Catholics and non-Catholics is the
one of marriage between British
servicemen stationed on the is
land, a key military and naval
base, and local Catholic girls.
These are not encouraged by the
Church.

Be Administered
By Missionaries
(N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE)
WASHINGTON, — Some U. S.
.foreign aid intended for social
and medical care of the under-
priviledge should be tunneled
through religious missionaries,
Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
of New York said here.
The Bishop called on the United
States to utilize these “great
forces of service and charity
which are. .. scattered through
out the world.” He suggested that
missionaries would be especially
qualified to administer foreign
aid since they “live with the 1 un
derprivileged people . . . speak
their language, share their hunger
and are identifield with the peo
ple.”
Bishop Sheen at a one-day con
ference on foreign aspects of U. S.
national security, held here at the
request of President Eisenhower
Among others who addressed
the meeting were former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman, Vice Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon, Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles,
Adlai E. Stevenson and former
Secretary of State Dean Acheson.
President Eisenhower spoke at
the dinner closing the conference.
The invocation preceding the
President’s address was delivered
by His Eminence Samuel. Cardinal
Stritch, Archbishop of Chicago.
Urging that the U. S. administer
part of its foreign aid through
missionaries, Bishop Sheen point
ed out that the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith, of which
he is national director, last year
aided some 85 million under
privileged persons.
He called attention also to the
missionary activity of various
Protestant denominations, which
spent some $44 million on such
activities last year, and to Jewish
social work.
The Bishop emphasized that his
suggestion applied only to social
and medical aid. He stressed that
he was not speaking of aid “for
purposes of apostolate.” He asked,
‘why shouldn’t these religious
groups engaged in social work be
aided socially?”
He added that by putting funds
for social assistance at the dispos
al of missionaries “we would re
move the stigma that the only

reason we’re giving economic aid
is the political one.
The speaker warned that U. S
foreign aid will be largely a
failure as long as it is wholly
meterialistic. American belief in
God and the communists’ repudia
tion of religious belief, he assert
ed, make the Soviets “suspect by
all the people of Asia and Africa.”
The U. S. has a “moral duty to
aid the underprivileged,” Bishop
Sheen said. He asserted that aid
should be given with the recogni
tion that “both the giver and the
receiver have their respective
needs.”
“The underprivileged coun
tries,” Bishop Sheen declared,
“need our machinery for their
fields, our clothes for their backs,
our shoes for their feet, and our
food for their stomachs.
“But we have need too; we are
poor in another way. We need to
justify our wealth by sharing it...
Therefore with humility and not
w i ih pride and superiority, we ex
tend our hands to the needy.

No Such Thing As "Party
Of The Catholic Church" •
PtOME, (NC) — A political
party cannot claim to be the party
of the Catholic Church even if its
leaders are Catholic and its ethi
cal and social doctrine is drawn
from Catholic teachings.
This is the conclusion of Jesuit
Father Salvatore Lener in an
article published by Civilta Catto-
lic-a, Rome Jesuit fortnightly.
Father Lener said that Catholic
political parties are often found
in countries which have secularis-
tic parties with established anti-
religious and anti-Church poli
cies.
In these countries Catholic
parties are not working for the
spiritual and temporal interests
of the Church, but are dedicated
to the “political interests of all
Catholic citizens,” Father Lener
declared. The protection of Cath
olics who are “at the same time
active members of the state and
faithful members of the Church”
constitutes the major aim of
political parties which draw their
inspiration from Church teach
ings.
Father Lener said that Catholic
parties in countries v/ith large
Catholic populations should not
be considered indentical with the
Church because the parties repre
sent political interests. These
parties should be looked on as the
political instruments of the state
and not of the Church, he said.
When the Church speaks “in the
light of the principles of the Gos
pel and of natural law” on the
right doctrine with regard to tem
poral matters such as political,
social economic or international
relations or when she condemns a
social, or political doctrine as con
trary to these principles, she does
not enter into the concrete sphere
or the historical order of the in
dividual state,” Father Lener said.
In such matters, the Jesuit
writer declared, the Church “acts
in a most normal manner.”
In countries which tolerate ex
tremist parties or subversive or
ganizations or anti-Church
“laicist” movements, he said, “the
presence of Catholic parties be
comes an indispensable means for
the defense of the welfare of the
state and of its democratic
regime.”
In such countries, Father Lener
argued, the concentration of Cath
olic votes on strongly Catholic
parties becomes a necessity which
takes precedence over preference
for the strictly political dr social
programs of other parties.
This is so because believers not
only hold their religious interests
above every other contingent
political interest but mainly be
cause Catholic citizens demand
the right to be “citizens and Cath
olics, simultaneously and in a
stable manner, without any strug
gle of conscience; members of the
state and sons of the Church,”
Father Lener concluded.
IIAGSZME WHICH PUBLISHED TOP CRITICISM
DF KIKSEY TECHNIQUES FEATURES ARTICLES
OH MOST RECENT SURVEY MADE DY INSTITUTE
(N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE)
NEW YORK, — McCall’s maga
zine March issue has hit the na
tion’s newsstand, featuring the
first of two installments on the
latest Kinsey Institute Report
called, “Pregnancy, Birth and
Theirs is the burden of being un
derprivileged; ours is the burden
of being overprivileged.”
Turning to foreign aid as a
weapon against communism, the
speaker warned that it is not
effective “of and by itself.” He
said that “it is conceivable that
the Soviets could give more than
the United States, because they
give greater primacy to creating
new slaves through world im
perialism than to adequate pro
duction for those presently en
slaved.”
He also warned that “seeking
to win other peoples into our orbit
by economic means alone... would
be to put ourselves on exactly the
same basis as the Soviets, namely,
materialism.”
Bishop Sheen pointed to the
existence of Moslemism as a
“third world power.” He said that
“already the anti-God forces of
the Soviets have won over some
of (the Moslem) governments and
largely because we have been
silent on the fundamental differ
ence between them and Soviets
... belief in Cod.”
He urged that “the foreign aid
of the United States must intro
duce some factor besides the eco
nomic, political and military one
which is the strongest in our na
tional traditions and one which
the Soviets not only lack but
repudiate.
“They have one fear in our deal
ing with the rest of the world, that
we will take cogizance of that de
fect which makes them suspect
by all the peoples of Asia and
Africa, and that is, our belief in
God, the dignity of the human
person, the freedom of conscience,
and the principle that the state
exists for man, not man for the
state.
Abortion.”
In 1953, when the last Kinsey
book, “Sexual Behavior in the
Human Female,” was published,
the self-same McCall’s magazine
came out with an article which it
called a “thoughtful but sweeping
attack on the approach used by
Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey,” the head of
the institute who died in 1956.
A number of the criticisms ad
vanced in McCall’s in 1953 con
ceivably apply to the installment
in the magazine’s current issue.
The attack published in Mc
Call’s in 1953 was written by Dr.
Ashley Montagu, chairman of the
department of anthropology at
Rutgers University and author of
the book, “The Natural Superior
ity of Women.”
In the attack Dr. Kinsey was
characterized as “ a pollster” and
it was claimed that “the insect
approach is everywhere apparent
throughout the book.” It said
there was no “evidence that Dr.
Kinsey and his coauthors have
really understood the meaning of
a human emotion in their 5,940
women” polled for the 1953 book.
A criticism made in the maga
zine in 1953 may be applied to
the installment in the current
issue of McCall’s. The 1953 com
plaint was: “The misleading title
of the study. . . the fact that it
deals with a very limited geo
graphical, economic and religious
sample of American women.”
From the institute report on
“Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion,”
scheduled to be published in book
form on May 14, it is stated that
the statistics were derived from
the “same group of 8,000 women,
interviewed in depth by the In
stitute staff, who were the sources
of the 1953 report.” Included in
those “interviewed” at the time
were a 2-year-old baby and 60
girls under the age of 6. And back
in 1953, Dr. Kinsey, himself, ac-
knowleged that the 8,000 women
claimed to have been interviewed,
dwindled to 5,940.
The major finding of the pend
ing Kinsey book is that “unmar
ried women with the most devout
religious attitudes have the low
est incident of premarital preg
nancies and abortions,” according
to McCall’s.
But close reading to the maga
zine installment discloses that the
survey was confined largely to
white Prostestant women. Negro
women were treated in a SDecial
section, the magazine stated. The
white Prostestant women were
divided into three groups: “those
who apnear to be quite devout;
those who were obviously inac
tive and even antagonistic to the
church, and those who fell some
where in between and were class
ified as ‘moderately devout.’ ”
The study further stated: “in
the case of the Prostestants, this
oroduced three groups of approxi
mately equal size, each large
enough for statistical validity.”
But the study conceded that no
such “success”—was achieved in
attempts to poll Catholic and
Jewish women. The study stated:
“Among Catholics and Jews,
there are not enough cases to pro
duce a completely airtight statis
tical pattern.”
Then, with no explanation for
the conclusion, th6 study added:
“There is every indication, how
ever, that the same trend exists
among them.”
The study concluded that five
per cent, of the religious devout
white Protestant women became
pregnant before marriage — half
as many as the 10 per cent figure
which “prevails among American
women as a whole”; that the rate
among moderately devout white
Protestant women is “consider
ably higher,” winding up at just
about the national average, and
that among the deligiously inac
tive white Protestant women the
rate is highest of all, 15 per cent.
It’s no problem to keep in touch
with society if you have plenty of
money to lend.
We all have to learn to read—
and then have to read to learn.
