IS THE papal state actually a soverign state? A. The State of the Vatican City was established by the Treaty of the Lateran, made in 1929 be tween Pope Pius XI and the Italian Government of Mussolini. It comprises 108 acres, with little more than 1000 citizens. Its army is made up of cere monial guards, especially 100 Swiss. The State of the Vatican City issues its own coins, $80,000 each year. They are of the same denomination and value as the Italian lira and both’ monies circulate freely in either country. Vatican City is a member of the International Postal Union and issues its own stamps - even air-mail stamps, though any plane other than a helicopter would find no place to land In the country. Vatican City has a famous radio station - the original equipment installed by Marconi. It has one of the world’s best known libraries, an equally famous museum and an art gallery - besides the largest church in the world. Fifth nations of the world send diplomatic rep resentatives to the State of the Vatican City, recog nizing its independence and sovereignity. Among these nations are Protestant England, Moslem Egypt, and Shintoists Japan. The State of the Vatican City exists so that the Pope may be free and independent as the head of the world-wide Church. It would be a great handi cap if he were subjected to the authority of the Italian Government, or that of any other nation. Q. YOUR DISCUSSION of capital punishment brings up a point on which I have never been capital punishment still a violation of the natural law but permissible under the circumstances? Or is it no longer a violation of the natural law? To put it another way, is it ever permissible to vio late the natural law because of benefit to society? A. Your final question is easy to answer. It is never permissible to violate the natural law be cause of benefit to society. If it were, then we might easily justify euthanasia, birth control, steriliza tion, lying, and even selective systems of thinning out over-populated areas. I say "easily” because if you start working hard at the problems - and considering the long range view - you might find that none of these things would actually benefit society, but would rather eventually destroy it. A good example of what I mean was Hitler’s genocide - a well planned measure for the benefit of society, as he conceived it. Your main question is more difficult* It requires careful distinctions. Possibly the simplest way of stating it is this. The natural law forbids the in tentional killing of an innocent human being. Or maybe it is better to say: The natural law forbids the unjust taking of human life, but does permit proper self defense. Even private individuals may properly kill an un just aggressor when It is the only reasonable way of protecting their own lives or those of others. Organized society’ - the State - has similar right and duty to protect Itself and to guard the lives of its members. So, as a general principle, and as a last resort, the nation may engage in war to protect its own threatened integrity, or the lives, liber ties, and essential rights of its citizens. I will make no attempt here to supply this general prin ciple to the pecular problems of nuclear war. Similarly, the State has the right and duty to protect its citizens from criminal elements with in itself. And it may use for this purpose any and all means which are just and appropriate. However, the State has no right to use greater severity than the common welfare demands. If the threat of a fine will suffice, prison should not be used. When prison will do the job, there should be no death penalty. Capital punishment must be re stricted to those crimes and circumstances in which its need is clearly demonstrated as a pro tection for society - as a deterrent of crime. Many modern nations have judged that capital punishment is no longer necessary, at least in times of peace. Many criminologists do not even believe that it is useful. In other words, it does not serve the only purpose which could justify its use, the prevention of crime. It is reasonably demonstrated - and I believe it is - that the death penalty is no longer needed, then the continued use of it is contrary to the na tural law. I believe that these two points are demon strated because of the record. Most States - in the U.S. and in Europe- which have abolished the death penalty have seen capital crimes decrease. On the basis of their experience we are morally obliged to seriously assess our own laws, using sound rea son, nor sentimentality, in the process. Most recent arguments I have seen for capital punishment are based on our horror at a particular crime or our overwhelming pity for its victims. If you dig deeply you will find revenge as the basic motive. And revenge is neither a sound basis for law nor for Christian morality.

Episcopalians Give To Cathedral Fund SAN FRANCISCO (NC) The dean of Sacramento’s Episcopal cathedral has sent a gift "as a small token ot friendship" to help rebuild St. Mary’s Roman Catholic cathedral here. Dean Malcom E. McClenag- han of Trinity Episcopal cathe dral sent the gift in a letter to Archbishop Joseph T. McGuc- ken of San Francisco, whose cathedral was razed In a $2.5 million fire last September. that the gift was "not a mere bookkeeping procedure through our parish treasury", but that it was "made up by small in dividual gifts of our members of this parish". The Dean said he was sending the gift in the spirit of an En glish Roman Catholic priest who, when he sent a check to an Anglican parish whose church was destroyed during World War II by bombs, said he could so do so "conscience-free" to help "tear down what was left DEAN McClenaghan wrote of the old structure.” The priest "bank” idea was considered by Bishop Gerard Marie Coderre of St. Jean, Que., and Louis Edmond Hame- lin, professor of geography at Laval University, Quebec, in an article In Pretre Aujourd’hui (Today’s Priest). THE ARTICLE dealt with the need for more diocesan priests in Su ■ c Quebec dioceses and suggestions for dealing with the problem. Among the proposals consid ered are modification of exist ing diocesan territorial limits to correct inequalities and for mation of regional committees of bishops to deal with the needs of their regions. The article notes that the idea for a priest "bank" would in volve, "in principle," placing all diocesan priests in French- speaking Canada in such a pool. The bishops would then evaluate the needs of dioceses for priests and allocate them accordingly. A study of Inter-diocesan pro blems would be made every three years. happening in the world.

Two-and-a-half million of the stamps were supplied to Auck land and suburban post offices on October 15 and were expected to last until mid-January. Thy were all gone by December 18. A postal official commented: "This is probably the most popular Christmas stamp we have ever had and the public is obviously in favor of the reli gious theme.” The stamp carried a repro duction of a Madonna by Gio vanni Battista Salvi da Sasso- ferrato, 17th century Roman painter well known for his treatments of religious sub jects.
