Under-Developed Countries Value
Moral Leadership Of Catholic Church
The following article, written
on the eve of the second ses
sion of Vatican Council II, gives
a special Insight into the impact
that Pope John's social ency
clical Mater et Magistra had in
focussing attention on the needs
of the underdeveloped count
ries. The council Fathers in
considering the efficacious
presence’* of the Church in
the modern world are expected
to consider ways of Implement
ing Mater et Magistra and the
other social teachings of the
modern popes. The author of the
article, the first Indian Cardinal
and the president of the Catholic
Bishops’ Conference of India,
served on the ecumenical coun
cil's Central Preparatory
Commission. His published
works include "Features of
Christian Life" and 'The Vati
can and International Policy,"
By Valerian Cardinal Gracias
Archbishop of Bombay
(N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE)
The clear stand which Pope
John XXIII took in behalf of the
underdeveloped countries has
brought Into focus the Church's
position of moral leadership in
the world.
At no time has it been eas
ier to speak of this leadership
than at present. The response
in India to the encyclical Mater
et Magistra has been beyond all
expectations. Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru himself made
a reference to the Pope's en
cyclical In the Indian Parlia
ment. Even more informative is
an article by another Indian,
Dr. B. R. Sen, the present Dir
ector General of the United Nat
ions Food and Agriculture Or
ganization (FAO).
SPEAKING of the current
awakening of the nations to the
problem of hunger. Dr. Sen says
that about 50 nations are now
participating in the campaign to
help the underdeveloped nat
ions. Then he goes on to add:
"An outstanding example of
support by world leaders is the
historical encyclical Mater et
Magistra issued by His Holiness
Pope John XXIII in July 1961.
In this inspiring document His
Holiness praised FAO's work
towards establishing fruit
ful accord among nations, pro
moting the modernizing of agri
culture, and alleviating the suf
ferings of hunger-striken peo
ple."
It is no exaggeration to say
that Pope John gave the FAO
ITS CHARTER, BECAUSE Dr
goes on to quote the encycli
cal: "Probably the most dif
ficult problem of the modern
world concerns the relationship
between political communities
that are economically advanc
ed and those in the process of
develpment, The standard of
living is high In the former,
while In the latter countries
poverty, and in some cases, ex
treme poverty exists."
IT MIGHT seem as If Pope
John Is stressing the obvious.
But to us in the poverty-stric
ken countries the voice of the
Pope came like the voice of tire
physician who has just arrived
at the bedside of a patient half
gone.
It is true that wordly goods
and their immediate pursuit are
not the specific field of the
Church's competence. We must
not Impose upon her the irk
some task of exchanging the su
pernatural order for the tempo
ral. But it is certain that the
Christian needs a certain well
being in order ot practice his
Christianity as a human being.
With an empty belly a man has
no ears for supernatural truths.
The voice of the Pope has
substance, both in point of the
duty to help, as well as what we
Asians love to call "humani-
tarianism." With so many of
the best of Asians, humanita-
rianism is the only creed left.
We continue the above quota
tion of the Pope's words, not
forgetting that it pleased Dr.
Sen to reproduce it: 'The sol
idarity which binds all men,
and make them members of the
same family," says Pope John,
"Imposes upon political com
munities enjoying abundance of
material goods not to remain
indifferent to those political
communities whose citizens
suffer from poverty, misery
and hunger, and who lack even
the elementary rights of the hu
man person."
THIS MUST be the charter
element in the Pope's words.
The underdeveloped nations
have just gained their freedom,
and it hurts them to beg from
the advanced nations. The raw
material nations are forever at
the losing end of the deal, and
how they long to be able to
develop, industrialize and get
out of their miseries I
In addition to their sensiti
veness, their bargaining streg-
th is low. Hence the Pope's
appeal to "political communit
ies enjoying abundance," on
grounds of "solidarity which
binds all men" to go to the aid
of the hungry, is like pointing
up the task of the FAO to con
sider the misery of the poor
nations as a world responsibi
lity.
There is no backing out of
this responsibility on political
grounds, exposed as they are
to the vagaries of understand
ings and misunderstandings.
Nor are the competitive factors
among the advanced nations am
ong themselves—especially of
setting up newer industries and
inventing newer armaments—
any good to nations suffering
from want and misery.
BUT THE poor nations are
not in a position to convince
anybody, unless world leaders
like the Pope or world agencies
of the UN take up their plea
and affix their signatures.
Many of our generous leaders
will be straining at the leash
to go Into instant action. Many
Catholic organizations in Eur
ope and America are giving lar
ge scale aid to eradicate dis
ease and hunger.
A survey of this help In the
fields of food, health, welfare
service and technical training
would certainly suit the purpose
of this article. But we must
continue with the quotation of the
Pope, as does Dr. Sen, in or
der to get into the very lining
of Asian thinking on this sub
ject.
Pope John goes on to say:
'This is more so since, given
the growing interdepence among
peoples of the earth, it is not
possible to preserve lasting pe
ace, if glaring economic and so
cial inequality persists."
It looks as if the Pope is
going off at a tangent. What has
hunger and misery to do with
the threat to peace?
IT IS so easy to fix the casus
belli—the causes of war—on
some contemporary stress of
the decade which would pass
away and give place to new areas
of tension. World War 1 was
fought primarily between
France and Germany. It was
essentially a European war.
World War II was fought across
the continents of Europe and
Asia, with Japan thrown into
the bargain; and at the end new
forces got released, primarily
in Asia—in India, South
east Asia, and China.
Today we are accustomed to
think of the Cold War between
the communist and the Western
powers. But even now, the rival
parties are competing for the
allegiance of Asia's millions.
The resurgent underdeveloped
nations are not conscious to take
sides in this cold war.
There Is something else that
touches them deeply—the glar
ing economic inequality to which
Pope John has drawn attention.
He puts it strongly when he
says ‘It is not possible!" What
is not possible? *To preserve
lasting peace, if glaring econo
mic and social inequality per
sists" between prosperous and
underdeveloped nations!
TO MAKE this point clear,
let me quote a fellow Asian,
Francis Wong, in his article on
Malaysia in the Asia magazine.
His observation is that the so
cial and economic thinking of the
millions in want gets canalized
into their politics— to where
they will add their votes.
Francis Wong shows how
Malaya, Singapore, Brunei,
Sarawak and North Borneo have
greater natural resources and a
better standard of living than
most of the other Asian nations.
But "this prosperity is a re
liable Aslan prosperity, how
ever, and it is now under two
forms of pressure. First, there
is the so-called revolution of
rising expectations.
‘Though the Malaysian States
are better off than some other
Asians, this impresses them
less than the fact that there is
a lack of many good things of
life which seem to be taken for
granted by people seen in films
and read about in newspapers
and which Malaya's own upper
and middle classes enjoy.
"PEOPLE want more. At the
same time, a staggering rate
of population growth is making
it increasingly difficult for them
to keep as much as they have
got."
The economic factor, then, is
sheer want and misery. The so
cial factor merging into the
political is "the revolution of
rising expectations."
If the communist powers or
the Western powers want to
compete for the minds and souls
of Asia's millions, let them
first feed their bodies and ans
wer their "revolution" of ris
ing expectations. The commun
ists do have the creed for it,
though in actual performance
they fall short of plenty. Wes
tern powers have the 'plenty"
and also the willingness to share
it; but they lack the dynamism
and the creed.
There are other ways of putt
ing it. Some responsible people
think that as "people to peo
ple" there is a greater sym
pathy on the part of the Wes
tern prosperous nations for
their brethren of the under
developed countries; but they
are often hindered from com
ing to our timely aid, and in
good measure owing to political
business factors which are
FOURTH PERIOD RALLY
St. Pius X Holds
South Hall To Tie
BY JAMES DARDEN
St. Pius' Golden Lions
scored late in the fourth per
iod to come from behind and
tie South Hall. Jimmy Darden,
St. Pius quarterback, scored
scored with three and one-half
minutes left on a four yard
keeper play.
At the outset of the game
neither team could push a sc
ore across. South Hall, with
great team speed, made a few
serious threats.
LATE IN the second quarter
the Lions got their offense mov
ing. Tom Medland and Paul Fal-
etti were the work horses of
the drive. The key play was a
flat pass to Faletti to the South
Hall five.
Ed Lacey’s absence was evi
dent as the Lions had trouble
pushing across the score. How
ever, on fourth down Denny
Wigbels took a screen pass and
scampered for the touchdown.
Faletti kicked the extra point
and the Lions led 7 to 0 at
halftime.
SOUTH HALL made their
first score late in the third
period. They came out throwing
when they got possession of the
ball in the fourth stanza. The
Knights scored their other
touchdown on a thirty yard pass
play. This made the county 13
to 7 in favor of South Hall.
Running by halfback Tom
Medland and passing by Jimmy
Darden powered a late drive
by St. Pius. Darden scored the
touchdown on a four yard run.
ST. PIUS worked an onside
kick and got the ball on the
Knights 45 yard line. They drove
to the four before a fumble sto
pped the drive.
Tom Medland, who rushed for
119 yards for the night, made
the big play of the final drive.
It was a 33 yard run on a draw
play.
behind the times.
HOWEVER, in point of creed
and dynamism, where does the
Catholic Church stand? Pope
John in the passage quoted above
ends with the words of John the
Apostle: "He that hath sub
stance of the world and shall
see his brther in need, and
shall shut up his bowels in him:
how doth the charity of God abide
in Him?"
1The peoples of Asia are not;
irreligious. They value religion
and respect those who order
their lives according to relig
ious precepts and practices.
But unfortunately, religion is
identified with denominations,
communities, establishments
and institutions. The respect the
common man has for religion or
religious, allows the various
denominations and establish
ments their rights and prospe
rity.
BUT WHAT about the lot of
the common man? What about
the common misery? Is it too
much to expect of religion to
extend itself and make itself
coextensive with the common
life and its deficiencies?
So far the answer would be:
"Who knows?"
But since Pope John has spo
ken it does look as if relig
ion would not refuse life’s chal
lenges. The latest apologedque
in the underdeveloped countr
ies of Asia might well be con
tained in those words of St.
John the Apostle: "He that hath
substance, and shall see his
brother in need, and shall shut
up his bowels from him: how
doth the charity of God abide
in him?”
If there is a God, and if peo
ple are attached to Him, what
ever be the manner of their
attachment, they make a moc
kery of Him and His kindness,
if they lack the charity so well
indicated by St. John in
the Bible.
WE CANNOT close this art
icle without paying a tribute to
the late Pope from whose words
the situation has been depicted.
He said in that very passage
of the Mater et Magistra:
"Mindful of our role of Uni-
veral Father, we feel obliged
solemnly to stress what We have
in another connection stated:
*We are all equally responsible
for the undernourished peoples’*.
The world of Asia warmed
up to Pope John as the Uni
versal Father. Wasn’t it nice
of him to take upon himself
that role and to feel it?
