There is a great difference
between a column of doctrine
and a column of opinion. It
should perhaps be made more
clear to the reader, which is
which. Doctrine is indisput
able. But an editorial, an opin
ionated article, a personal
viewpoint can be ripped apart,
violently disagreed with, and
disputed to the end. Written
controversy that provokes the
intellectual processes, that
stimulates the brain, and
eventually clarifies or puri
fies the point of discussion is
wholesome and worthwhile.
Unfortunately, such writings
often overstimulate the emo
tions and sour the gastric
juices, all of which beclouds
sharp and precise thinking.
The point of this meandering
is that you are at liberty
to disagree with this or any
other column of mere opinion,
and there is no better forum
to express your disagreement
than in a letter to the editor
of this publication.
Even a clergyman does not
mind being told he is all wet, if
it is done in a reasoned and
charitable manner. Again, we
mean only on matters of
opinion.
In proposing or elaborating
the sound doctrine of the
church, it is rash and close
to heresy to contradict the au
thorized teaching of Christ’s
mouthpiece. If you keep in
mind this keen distinction,
then, journalists will welcome
your rebuttal to their expres
sions of ideas.
The battle of the sexes
seemingly has been replaced
by the battle of the genera
tions.
This is clearly pointed
out by what the teenagers think
the adults think of them. There
is not so wide a divergence as
many teeners think. Adults
do not down adolescents as
much as they believe, do not
hold them in low esteem, dis
trust them, think they are
going to the dogs, and all the
rest of that rubbish.
The first fallacy is to hold
that they are all lumped to
gether in one generalization.
This is as false as saying
something about all Catholics,
all Americans, all Negroes,
all Russians, all professors,
or what have you.
Each adolescent is an in
dividual little man or little
woman struggling for maturity
and identity, while many re
semble each other in their
idols, fads, attitudes and other
human reactions, similarity
doesn’t constitute identity. It
is grossly unfair to blanket
all with a universal commen
dation or condemnation. Each
stands or falls on his own
merits.
Even though it is so easy
to fell into the habit of say
ing “teenagers today —
they every such state
ment must be critically analy
zed. I state this warning be
cause I have fallen into that
trap so often myself, and was
about to do so again in this
very column.
Nothing like a tragedy
brings out the best in so
many of them. The most no
ble of human sentiments, deep
feeling, and utter sympathy
are revealed when one of their
number is snatched into eter
nity, without warning in a
moment of awesomeness.
Then superficial frivolities
fade fast, and eternal veri
ties are faced nakedly.
