DEBATE AT
ST. BERNARD’S
CULLMAN, Ala. Feb. 19,—“Are
young people of today b e ing
brainwashed by the filth of the
newsstands? Is Catholic literature
doing its part to halt this cor
ruption of our youth?”
These con troversial questions
were topics of a spirited debate
between freshman teams at St.
Bernard high school in Cullman,
Alabama, in connection with
Catholic Press Month. All high
school English classes attended
the debate, an annual affair
which always generates excite
ment.
The team captains on the pro
side were Tom Maxwell of Grove
Hill, Ala., Robert Morrison of
Huntsville, Ala., and Bill Ham
mond of Rome, Ga. Captains for
the con group were Richard Jack-
son of Tullahoma, Tenn., and
James Clark and Brian Riel, both
of Murfreesboro, Tenn.
The Catholic Students’ Mission
Crusade sponsored the event,
with President Albert Luongo,
twelfth grader from New York,
presiding and enforcing the rules
of debate. Judges were Father
Anthony Coleman, O. S. B., Steve
Scharfenberg, president of t h e
senior class, and Mrs. Eunice But
ler, a student in the college.
The pros argued that while bad
secular literature tends to lead
the adolescent into indulging in
sex and gangsterism, Catholic lite
rature leads the ideals of youth
away from Joe Dillinger, Billy
the Kid and Superman and in
clines^ them to the Holy Family
and the Saints. Tom Maxwell,
big gun for the pros, said, “Bad
secular literature harms all peo
ple morally or Hoi y Mother
Church wouldn’t forbid it. Im
moral literature is decreasing',
however, because of reduction of
popular demand.”
The cons stabbed back saying
that the effect of this literature
depended too on the individual.
They insisted that all secular lit
erature could not be condemned
because of bad eggs among' the
decent and morally good publi
cations.
Although the pros convinced
many of the students attending',:
the cons were judged to have pro
vided a more stable, consistent
argument. Brian Riel and Richard
Jackson, both cons, were judged
best and second best debaters
respectively. All participants had
spent considerable time prepar
ing'.
DIOCESE OF ATLANTA
'AD JESUM PER MARIAM'
LENTEN REGULATIONS FOR 1957
In accordance with the provisions of Canon Law, as modi
fied through the use of special faculties granted by the Holy
See, we herewith publish the following regulations:
I. THE LAW OF ABSTINENCE
Everyone over seven years of age is bound to observe the
law of abstinence.
Complete abstinence is to be observed on Ash Wednesday,
March sixth, and on all Fridays. On days of complete abstinence
meat and soup or gravy made from meat may NOT be used at
all.
Partial abstinence is to be observed on Ember Wednesday,
March thirteenth. On a day of partial abstinence meat and soup
or gravy made from meat may be taken only once at the prin
cipal meal.
II. THE LAW OF FAST
Everyone over twenty-one and under fifty-nine years of
age is also bound to observe the law of fast.
With the exception of Saturday, March sixteenth, for which
a dispensation has been granted in honor of St. Patrick, all
weekdays of Lent, including Holy Saturday, are days of fast.
On days of fast only one full meal is allowed. Two other
meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken
according to each one’s needs; but together they should not
equal another full meal. Meat may be taken at the principal
meal by all on all weekdays- of Lent, except on Ash Wednesday
and Fridays.
Eating between meals is not permitted but liquids, includ
ing' milk and fruit juices, are allowed.
When health or ability to work would be seriously affected,
the law does not oblige. In doubt concerning fast or abstinence,
a parish priest or confessor should be consulted.
We earnestly exhort the faithful during the Lenten season
to attend daily Mass; to receive Holy Communion often; to take
part more frequently in exercises of piety; to give generously
to works of religion and charity; to perform acts of kindness
toward the sick, the aged and the poor; to practice voluntary
self-denial, especially regarding alcoholic drink and worldly
amusements; and to pray more fervently, particularly for the
intentions of the Holy Father.
In your prayers and good works during the holy season of
Lent, kindly remember, the fallen-away Catholics of our diocese
that they may return to the practice of the faith.
FLORIDA CATHOLIC EDITORIAL
This week Bishop McDonough
leaves Florida and the Diocese
of St. Augustine to become Aux
iliary Bishop of our neighboring
Diocese of Savannah. He will in
fact be in charge of every phase
of Catholic activity in that vast,
missionary land, where the num
ber of Catholics is so small and
the future is so challenging. With
him go not only our fondest
wishes but the promise of our
prayers for him, his priests and
people.
A bishop in a diocese is not
merely a priest whom the Holy
Father has placed in charge. He is
the source of the very powers of
his priests, the administrator of
that Sacrament which. brings the
Holy Spirit to our souls, the chief
link between priests and people
and the Holy Father. He is Christ
in our midst.
Upon him fall the combined
weight of all the problems of the
faithful. On him depends their
sanctification. On him rest the ob
ligation and awful responsibility
to be all the things to all men in
order to restore all things in
Christ.
Bishop McDonough’s wisdom
and holiness, his example and
concern, his total dedication and
complete sacrifice for his people
will be the principal of all in
fluences on the Church of Geor
gia. His is an almost overwhelm
ing' task. To accomplish it he will
need the continuing prayers of
us all.
During his almost 16 years here
in Florida he has engaged in ev
ery kind of work that touches the
priest and the bishop. He has
been confessor and instructor,
parish priest and Chancellor,
planner and builder, writer and
inspirer, Vicar General and Aux
iliary Bishop.
He has known the exhausting
rigors of missionary life. He has
known fatigue from hundreds of
thousands of miles of travel here
in Florida and from long, over
taxing hours. There is scarcely a
person in the diocese who has
not felt his priestly influence,
who has not been strengthened
by his presence, his example and
his counsel.
He has been all things to all
men—an inspiration to his pa
rishioners, a model for his fel
low priests, a strong aide to his
Archbishop, a quiet, uplifting in
fluence on all who sought him.
He has been in every sense an
“Other Christ”.
Our prayers will follow him
along the mission paths of his
new apostolate that the God Who
is everything' to him will grant
him grace and wisdom and health
at every moment.
TIP TO MOTORISTS
Speed is the number one kill
er on the highways today—slow
down and live longer.
DEATH GRIP
Some men fail because they
think they have to strangle the
world to make it cough up.
