f *
Of Union’
l
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
WASHINGTON—Following is
•the full text of the statement
^entitled “Bonds of Union” is-
"sued by the Bishops of the
United States through the exe
cutive department of the Na
tional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence:
0 During the period of the Sec
ond Vatican Council we are
joined in common effort with
the bishops of the Catholic
Church from every land. A
greater public attention has thus
been given to our wider role as
'Council Fathers, concerned with
the universal good of the
Church. In these days so full of
historic importance, we have
gratefully noted the prayers and
'the cordial expressions of good
will toward the council and the
Church from Americans of
%very faith.
It is not inappropriate, how
ever, that we address ourselves
"at the same time to our people
in the United States, and this in
regard to those national bonds
Of union that we as Americans
respect and cherish. Recent
events in the national communi
ty have severely tested these
bonds. Such testing is not new.
In the confidence that now, as
in the past, those bonds will be
strengthened under trial, the
Catholic Bishops of the United
States invite reflection upon
them.
n From the beginnings of our
Tiational existence, our fore
fathers sought to form a socie
ty almost unique in human his
tory, a society of free men un
der God for the protection of
the equal rights of all. The basic
bond of union was the willing
recognition of mutual rights
and reciprocal duties.
Each of the Old World peo
ples who had part in the build
ing of our New World common
wealth brought here a strong
religious piety which power
fully influenced our national
character and our civil tradi
tions. They shared a common
conviction in the Providence of
T3od and came to feel that their
nation was called to its special
-place in the divine plan. They
-considered the "laws of nature
sand of nature’s God” to be both
the source and the sanction of
human rights and of the institu
tions needed to protect them.
They recognized, with Cicero,
that the natural law is “eternal
and unchangeable, valid for all
. and all times.”
I Hence in the American com-
I pact which is our Declaration
* of Independence our forefathers
| recognized man endowed by his
i Creator with inalienable rights
» and correlative duties. The di-
L.vine principle behind this civic
, heritage is proclaimed in the
! inscription above the Speaker’s
! chair in the House of Represen-
‘ tatives, the result of a unani-
j mous vote in 1962, “In God We
i Trust.”
1. Our Heritage
" Our government became, ac
cording to these shared con
cepts, the respected instru
ment for guarding the basic
frights of man, the rights to
‘life, liberty and the pursuit of
-happiness. These clearly in
cluded the rights deriving from
^parenthood, equality under the
*law and in political life, free-
Jdom of conscience, freedom in
^the choice of a state of life and
I in developing one’s talents, the
'right to private property.
Our nation has defended not
I only the rights to life but also
Ithe rights of those who are re
sponsible, under God, for that
I life. The child is recognized as
jtthe offspring of its parents, not
ithe creature of the state.Hence
'the universal recognition that
I the parents possess the first
Iright and are charged with the
fundamental duty of providing
for the nurturing and education
of the child. This right our
traditional law carefully re
spects and this duty our courts
enforce.
The place of the family in our
society is suggested by the
overtones of our national holi
day, Thanksgiving Day, which
has made a religious family
feast a social acknowledgement
of God’s bounty. From colonial
and pioneer days the family has
been a dynamic source of union
in our communities. Recogni
tion of this has been a bond of
national union.
Another bond of union has
been emphasis on equality it
self. This has gone beyond mere
equality before the law. It has
insisted on the right of each to
'share in the common good and
.invited the contribution of each
((according to his talents.
Our concept of equality, still
'in painful process of realiza
tion, has never been a mere
legalism. It has included the
moral quality of respect, even
reverence, for the individual,
for every individual. Every man
and woman has equal rights
before the law, notably rights
to equal opportunity to learn, to
work, to acquire property, in
cluding a home, to be promoted
on the basis of performance
and qualification, to participate
freely in community affairs—
all this not merely by virtue
of legal decisions but as the
corollary of a shared moral
code.
The recognition of the right
of conscience has been basic to
our civil traditions. Citizens
have found in this a bond of
union and the favor of the law
in countless cases. No personal
right has been so fiercely de
fended by public authority and
so generously construed in
court. The tradition of our na
tion corresponds with the words
of Pope John XXIII, “Every hu
man being has the right to honor
God according to the dictates
of an upright conscience and,
therefore, the right to worship
God privately and publicly.”
A further bond of union has been
the general recognition of reli
gious homage to God as a duty
as well as a right.
Most of our citizens have
taken for granted the vigorous
exercise of the right freely to
choose one’s vocation and to
develop one’s talents. Indeed, a
major cause of the present soc
ial unrest is the very determi
nation of minorities to secure
these rights. Freedom of choice
of work, with the aspiration to
excel, has stimulated an extra
ordinary initiative. The pro
ductivity of our country has
resulted in great measure from
this freedom to develop perso
nal talents. It has often bene
fited the wider human com
munity through programs of
American religious and philan
thropic groups, especially in
times of world crisis.
Not less important as a bond
of union has been the right of
private property. Fortunately,
the power to dispose of the
fruits of one’s labor has been
wisely controlled by the concept
of the stewardship of wealth.
When our Protestant fellow citi
zens, if only because of their
proportionately greater num
bers, were so largely charged
with setting the moral tone,
their best representatives re
vealed an enlightened Christian
sense of stewardship which re
dounded to the common good.
Private education, voluntary
welfare programs, medical re
search and political idealism
were encouraged. We rejoice
when exemplary Catholics
bring, together with new in
sights into human need, their
own beneficent influence on the
common good.
Thus a major element of our
heritage has been the transla
tion of the rights of man, con
ferred by God, into civil rights,
guaranteed by the state. The
full power of the state is ex
pected to protect the human
person in his individual and
social aspects, namely, as at
once the beneficiary and the
architect of the “good society.”
11. Our Problems
This shared heritage, re
flecting the noble aspirations
and the deep sentiments of many
American hearts, is not, of
course, narrowly American. Its
elements are linked with the
human achievements and
dreams of millions everywhere.
Similarly the problems of men
everywhere are intermingled
with our own. But, as a nation,
the United States faces certain
problems of its own that
are ours to solve.
While many of thes e problems
have social, political and econo
mic aspects, they are, at the
core, human and therefore mo
ral. They are suggested in se
veral disconcerting questions:
—Are we coming to regard
God and religion as irrelevant
to everyday life? Have our rela
tive richness and our passion
for technological progress stif
led our concern for the spiritual
needs of man? Are we trying
to solve problems of social jus
tice by expediency, with an eye
to human convenience rather
than the divine will?
These have become urgent
questions. A national examina
tion of conscience would reveal
today that we are in danger of
becoming a people weakened by
secularism in our social philo
sophy, materialism in our con
cept of the good life, and ex
pediency in our moral code.
The increasing establishment
of secularism as an official
American view of life has been
steady and well-marked. In our
education, religious elements
have gradually been eliminated
by judicial interpretation. This
progressive secularization cuts
deeply into our schools, but
this is only part of its steady
growth.
Marriage is considered more
and more a purely civil ar
rangement, not a spiritual bond
between two persons under God.
Business and recreation tend to
be conceived as' though God’s
law applied only during the time
of Sunday worship. There is, it
is true, a statistical growth in
church-affiliation, but this is
substantially offset by the dis
turbing alienation of whole
areas—education, work, play—
from any effective tie with the
Creator and Judge of men and
nations.
The rise of secularism warns
us to reorder our individual and
social life, to place it squarely
in the perspective of our own
deepest religious beliefs.
As secularism has steadily
grown in American legal philo
sophy, our moral values have
revealed an increased ma
terialism. We are a prosper
ous nation, blessed by God with
bountiful resources. This
wealth has been increased by
able leadership and hard work.
The majority of our people now
enjoy the good things of life.
Following impulses once spiri
tual, but in danger of becoming
mere traditional procedures,
we sacrifice for the needy in
our own land and throughout the
world.
But for many Americans,
spiritual motivation has given
way to the pursuit of material
things. Security in the comforts
of living is too often our major,
even our controlling, concern.
Our God-given resources have
preserved us from the poverty
that degenerates; our spiritual
resources must preserve us
from the wealth that decays.
As an affluent nation, we are
unfortunately acquiring the
vices associated with irrespon
sible materialists; over-indul
gence, excessive gambling and
the insatiable demand for ex
citement.
The history of the saints
demonstrates that, with God’s
grace, man’s spirit can survive
in the midst of material wealth,
and even turn it to the soul’s
profit. But our problem is that,
surfeited with conveniences, we
may not maintain the desire to
rise above them, to live as
the children of God, “heirs of
God and co-heirs with Christ.”
(Rom. 8, 17)
If we are to do so, we must
renew the saving habits of
grateful humility, purposeful
self-sacrifice, and courage to
take the risks which remain
the price of truly human pro
gress. Earlier American gen
erations understood the mean
ing, for civilization as well as
personal salvation, of the
sacred Scriptures which warn
us:
“For he who would save his
life will lose it; but he who
loses his life for My sake will
find it.” (Matt. 16, 25) And
“Unless the grain of wheat fall
into the ground and die, it re
mains alone. . .he who loves his
life, loses it. . .” (John 12, 24-
25) These are precepts which
seem unintelligible to us in a
generation whose concept of the
good life has been smothered
by securities.
Both secularism and mater
ialism contribute to our third
problem—the frequent use of
expediency rather than princi
ple in meeting our social pro
blems. The confusion and ten
sion surrounding the so-called
“race question” are typical.
The first step in meeting any
racial problem is to treat all
men and women as persons,
without reference to patterns
of difference. But forgetfulness
of God (which is the defect of
secularism), and preoccupation
with the physical (which is the
effect of materialism), prevent
this first step. They cause us
to lose the view of man as God
sees him.
Thus, we grow insensitive to
His image in every man, yet
that image is the ultimate
ground of mutual respect. F or
the secularist there can be no
real appreciation of the dignity
of God’s creatures. For the
materialist the cry of the dis
possessed is without spiritual
content or appeal.
Small wonder that social jus
tice becomes merely apolitical
matter and we remain as a na
tion morally tortured by racial
injustice in schools, jobs, hous
ing, communal facilities, even
in the most obvious area of de
mocratic suffrage.
Unless the Declaration of In
dependence is taken to mean
what it says about inalienable
rights and their divine origin;
unless the salute to the flag
including Lincoln’s phrase “un
der God,” is uttered without
tongue in cheek; unless the plain
intent of the Constitution is
wholeheartedly endorsed—any
talk of “law and order” is
worse than poor public policy;
it is hypocrisy.
111. Our Aspirations
But even these problems of
our republic can be bonds of
union. They are faced by all
Americans; their solution is our
mutual burden. Men of good will
are finding that they must work
together to stem the march to
ward secularism. Reaction
againse materialism may,
please God, result in a renewed
commitment to spiritual values,
turning our search for wealth
into a vocation of service.
Americans, regardless of their
differences, readily unite in the
pursuit of common goals which
give direction, force and pur
pose to our efforts.
The aspirations of all peoples
center about their altars and
their firesides. The values
which these embody are the very
core of the common good. None
theless, a people’s aspirations
express themselves in national
patterns. Our shared goals have
been clear from the beginning.
To the extent that some remain
unrealized, these also are bonds
of union summoning to a com
mon effort all who remain faith
ful to the nation’s original in
spiration.
Our national goals were set
forth succinctly in the Preamble
to the Constitution. The authors
wrote that we, the people of the
United States, ordained and es
tablished our constitutional
government, “in order to form
a more perfect union, establish
justice, insure domestic tran
quility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the bless
ings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity.”
A more perfect union is the
never-ending objective of the
good society. At this moment
that aspiration is impeded by
the sad controversy over civil
rights and by the lingering dis
position of some to assign to
others a status amounting to
“second class” citizenship.
Sometimes this is for reason of
religion, sometimes for reason
of race, but always to the gre&t,
hurt of the common good and
the progres s of the republic.,
This goal—a more perfect
union—can yet rally the moral
energies of the nation to com
plete the “unfinishedbusiness”
of the Emancipation Proclama
tion by full recognition of all
their rights for millions of our
fellow citizens of the Negro
race.
Twenty years ago, the Ca
tholic Bishops of this nation
noted in their statement of 1943:
“It would be inconsistent to
promote a world reconstruction
in which all nations, great and
small, powerful and weak, would
enjoy their rights in the family
of nations, unless in our own
national life we recognize an
equality of opportunity for all
our citizens and are willing to
extend to them the full benefits
of our democratic institutions.
“In the Providence of God,”
the Bishops continued, “there
are among us millions of fellow
citizens of the Negro race. We
owe to these fellow citizens. . .
not only political equality, but
also fair economic and educa
tion al oppostunities, a just
share in public welfare pro
jects, good housing without ex
ploitation, and a full chance for
the social advancement of their
race.
“When given their rights in
fact as in law, they will prize
with us our national heritage,
and not lend ear to agitators
whose real objective is not to
improve but to destroy our way
of living.”
The sense of mutuality so
keenly felt by the Founding Fa
thers must not be diminished
by tensions between early com
ers and later immigrants; be
tween groups of different reli
gious or nationality back
grounds; between management
and labor; between political
parties and even between the
partisans of contrasting politi
cal philosophies within the same
parties. We welcome and wish
to encourage the trend, which
we deem providential toward
emphasis on the things which
unite in mutual love and action.
Strongly operative among us
is the aspiration to establish
justice. The courts must main
tain vigilance against proce
dures which offend this cardinal
virtue of the decent society.
But the people must be vigi
lant, too, lest the courts, how
ever unconsciously and with
whatever lofty intent, annul the
'original determination that ours
be a government of laws, not of
men.
Our courts must see that the
law of the land is so interpreted
as to be free from undue influ
ence of particular schools of
thought. It has best served the
American tradition when the law
reflects a community consensus
or common understanding of
what is best to achieve the com
mon ends of justice.
To insure domestic tranquili
ty requires not merely the or
der of justice but a cohesive
spirit made organic by the life-
giving virtues of equity and
charity. In addition to sound
laws and just courts, we need
the vital influence of a free pul
pit, and a highminded press and
theatre—all capable of elevat
ing public taste and disposed to
do so—in a word, drawing all
the agencies of a free society to
clothe with the living flesh and
blood of morality the otherwise
stark skeletion of legal justice.
When the common defense
was first spelled out it meant
hardly more than that which a
disciplined military and vigilant
police could provide. In an age
of aggressive ideologies, not
less perilous to the common
wealth than invading armies or
marauding pirates, the national
defense is increasingly a mat
ter of intellectual education and
spiritual formation.
We face a deadly menace to
the truths by which we are made
and kept free. To meet this dan
ger, and conquer it, is a work
that should be done in coopera
tion among all educational, reli
gious and soundly patriotic
agencies.
Promotion of the general wel
fare has given impetus to in
stitutions and programs in
which Church, State and private
philantropy have vied with one
another in wholesome rivalry
to serve the human person in
every need. Differences of opin
ion are expressed among us as
to ways and means to meet the
objectives bound up with our
"general welfare,” but on the
nature of it there is substantial
agreement.
At the moment, the general
welfare calls for increased at
tention to the complex problem
presented by juvenile delin
quency and family breakdown.
A community-wide cooperative
program, consistent with family
rights and authentic democratic
principles, must produce op
portunities for the more secure
absorption of the young into our
organized industrial and com
mercial structure. In such a
program, the government
should be able to take for grant
ed the full cooperation of indus
try and organized labor, as well
as all religious, educational and
youth agencies.
To secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our
posterity, we depend on educa
tion more than on any other sin
gle force. Hence the special
solicitude for general education
in our national tradition, an
other bond of union among the
American people.
A non-partisan Report on
Goals for Americans recently
commented on the relationship
of our educational hopes to the
other aspirations of Americans,
and reached some thoughtful
conclusions. Writing on educa
tion, the commission said: “Ul
timately, education serves all of
our purposes—liberty, justice
and all our other aims—but the
one it serves most directly is
equality of opportunity.
“We promise such equality,
and education is the instrument
by which we hope to make good
the promise. . .That is why we
must renew our efforts to re
move the barriers to education
that still exist for disadvantaged
individuals—barriers of pover
ty, or prejudice and of ignor
ance. The fulfillment of the
‘Bonds
individual must not be dependent
on his color, religion, economic
status or place of residence.”
The Report asks for recog
nition of the need, the right
and the place in the national
interest of all young people, by
implication in all American
schools. It suggests, more elo
quently than can we, what must
SYLVANIA — The clergy at
Our Lady of the Assumption
Parish in Sylvania are making
use of the miracle of electro
nics and the airwaves to spread
the message of Jesus Christ in
their four-county parish in
Southeast Georgia. One has only
to flick the dial of his radio
in Sylvania, Waynesboro, or
Millen, Georgia and, if it is the
proper moment, he may hear the
voice of either Father John Gar
vey or his assistant, Father
Frank Ellis.
Father Garvey, since his ap
pointment as pastor in Screven
County in September, 1962, has
been conducting a series over
Radio Staton WSYL, entitled
“Religion in Your Life.” This
is a thrice-weekly, five-min
ute, early morning presentation
stressing Christian ideals ap
plicable to every day living.
Station WBRO in Waynes
boro beams these same mes-
be the shared aspiration of . all
citizens for all students:
“American education can be
as good as the American people
want it to be. And no better.. .
(In) striving for excellence, we
must never forget that Ameri
can education has a clear mis
sion to accomplish with every
single child who walks into the
sages to the people of Burke
County.
Father Ellis has recenlty in
augurated a similar series over
Station WGSR, in Millen, the
county seat of Jenkins County.
This program is presented each
Monday, Wednesday, and Fri
day just before signoff time.

series under the auspices of Mr.
Frank Christian, a parishioner
and the former manager at

and Augusta. Now in its third
year, this program is being of
fered to stations throughout the
state as a public service.

prepare all young people, what
ever their talents, for the seri-
our business of being free men
and women.”
We have observed that recent
events in the national com
munity have severely tested our
bonds of union. It is our prayer
(a prayer in which we invite all
Americans to join) that inspira
tion drawn from the rediscov
ery of our roots, determination
born of any grave threat to that
union, and renewed dedication
to our common goals may help
us to face the present trials
as a people truly one nation
under God.
To implement that prayer, we
pledge the religious, educa
tional, and moral resources at
our command. We do so moti
vated by the piety and patrio
tism that we and our Catholic
people are privileged to share
with millions of our fellow citi
zens.
