JOSEPH MULIERI
BECOMES EDITOR OF
ORANGEBURG PAPER
IV. C. C. If. Convention in Kansas City
Hea rs Address by Apostolic Delegation;
Sermon by Bishop Walsh of Charleston
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
KANSAS CITY. — “Christ de
fended woman by restoring her
fully to her dignity, and it is pre
cisely in the principles of Christ
ianity that the dignity of woman
hood. the home, and the family
fjnd their foundation and defense.
By the same token, every depar
ture from these principles, of
every rejection of them, soon
manifests itself in family life by
a diminution and even the des
truction of the prestige of woman
hood.”
His Excellency Archbishop An-
leto Giovanni Cicognani, Aposto
lic Delegate to the United States,
addressed these words to 4,000
delegates to the national conven
tion of the National Council of
Catholic Women, at the Pontifical
Mass which he offered up in the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Con
ception here to open the meeting.
Bishop Emmet M. Walsh of Char
leston, S. C., delivered the ser
mon at the Mass and Bishop Ed
win V. O'Hara of Kansas City,
convention host, presided.
Archbishop Cicognani referred
In the October. 1945, message of
His Holiness Pope Pius XII, ap
pealing to the women of the world
io lead in Ihe restoration of the
iamliy and human society, and
stated:
"To the women gathered be
fore him, the Sovereign Pontiff
said at that time: ‘The Divine
Master is calling you.’ Today he
repeats fo you this same watch
word. During these days you are
setting yourselves to a careful
study of this pontifical message,
with ^ view to later carrying out
as much of it as you can. This is
a source of joy for the Holy
Father, and today he sends you a
special Apostolic Benediction for
flic happy outcome of your discus
sions and deliberations.” .
Describing to the assembled
representatives of national Catho
lic women’s societies and dioce
san Councils of Catholic Women
bow the Christian principle that
unborn children have the same
rights as those already born fol
lows from the God-given right to
existence, the Apostolic Delegate
declared: “Always and everywhere
the Church has defended this
principle. It is directly opposed
to certain practices which are an
abuse of life and which, unfor
tunately. find defenders even in
our day. This principle has
brought to society untold recovery
from many ills, and on it depends
a great part of the very life of
society."
“Th'c Christian woman must be
wise and valiant,” the Apostolic
Delegate counseled. “While
Christianity reprehends in a wo
man that sort of independence
Which entails neglect of the home
or of the education of children,
or rebellion.against the commands
of God. it has nevertheless always
laid claim to true liberty—to 'the
freedom where-with Christ has
made us free.’ (Gal. 4, 31)”
In his sermon, Bishop Walsh
praised the men and women who
renounce their right to marry in
order to dedicate their lives to
prayer and the service of their
fellow beings, saying that they
‘give an heroic example of char
ity and of exalted purity of life
and chastity that a corrupt world
needs in every generation.”
“True coordination of the sexes
in genuine marriage,” he said,
treating of those in the married
vocation, "is material not only to
the welfare of husband and wife,
but to the children and to the
material and spiritual welfare of
nations and of peoples. It con
tributes to harmonious relations
between peoples. The welfare of
the Church and the welfare of
mankind are benefited by the
happy results when family life is
orderly and flourishing and when
the young arc raised to honor and
love-—the beautiful and holy ideal
of Christian family life.”
When the two sexes forget the
intimate harmony willed and es
tablished by God for them and
give themselves up to perverted
individualism and selfishness, re
fusing to cooperate according to
the design of God and nature, he
added, the common good of hu
man society is greatly compro
mised. When the young, neglect
ed and scandalized by their elders,
refuse by frivolous living to fit
themselves for marriage, he stat
ed further, the church trembles
al the handicap to her mission
among men.
“When woman’s dignity and
rights arc in great danger, not
only under totalitarian govern
ments but also in those countries
swayed by a false liberalism,”
Bishop Walsh declared, "the
Church through her Supreme
Pontiff Pius XII speaks again
with ringing clarity in woman's
defense."
