R.:Educationisconcernedwithdevelopment,butnotwiththelop-sided developmentProfessorAndersonadvocates.Mereknowledgeofthepurely naturalscienceswillnotproducegood men.Theevilsrampantintheworld aredue,nottolackofknowledge,but toafundamentaldisorderinthewill.

Q.:TheChristianhasdegradedGod to"human"levels.

R.:That1deny.TospeakofGod inahumanway,whilstinsistingthat our.ermsarenecessarilyinadequate, andthatGodinfinitelytranscendsall createdlimitations,isnottodegrade Godtothehumanlevel.TheCatholicChurchhasdefinedthatGodinfinitelytranscendsthehumanlevel.

ANALOGYOF"FATHER."

Q.:ChristiansspeakofGodastheir "Father,"ignoringthefactthatthe term"father"impliesthemalesex, andnothingelse,thoughGodisessentiallysexless.

R.:Theterm"Father"isappliedto (;.,(1byanalogy.Analogyimplies theagreementofcertainthingsinsome respects,thoughtheydifferinothers. Itmeanssimilarilywithoutidentity. Forexample,ifIsaid,"Thatmanis avulture,"Iwouldbespeakinganalogically.Itwouldbeabsurdtodeny myassertiononthescorethattheman hadn'tgotbeak,wingsandfeathers.

CONCLUDINGFROMADISTORTION,

Q.:ThisattempttocontracttheEternaltoagenerationreducesGod fromthestatusofCreatortothat ofpro-creator,andlimitsHimto man'sexpressions.

R.:Wemakenoattempttocontract theEternaltoageneration.We would,ifweassertedthatGodisa fatherintheidenticalsenseunderall aspectsinwhichahumanbeingisa father.Butwedon'tsaythat,though youarearguingasifwedidsayit.

dowereduceHimfromthestatus ofCreatortothatofaprocreator.We emphaticallyteachthatHeisthesupremeandonlyCreator;thatHisproductionofcreatureswasnotbygeneration,butbyamereactofHiswill: andthatthosewhotransmitlifeby generationareprocreators,and nothingmore.Farfromreducing Godtothestatusofaprocreator, Christianteachingexcludesthepossibilityofsuchathing.Finally,we don'tlimitGodtoman'sexpressions.

WeinsistthatHetranscendsthem, andthatman'sexpressionsthemselves aresolimitedthattheycandeclare thepartialtruthonlyaboutGod,and canneverdofulljusticetoHim.Well, thatmustdoforthepresent,What Ihavechieflywantedtobringtoyour noticeisthat,accordingtoChristian teaching,allhumanspeechaboutGod isanalogical,conveyingsometruth, butnotallthetruth.Thatpointyou haveoverlooked,basingyourcriticism ontheimpressionthatweintendunivocalandnotanalogicalfatherhood inGodinHisrelationshiptohuman beings.

Marriage

"Rationalist,"Darlinghurst:

Q.:Ihaveoftenheardyouexplaining allkindsoftechnicallawsconcerningmarriageaccordingtotheRomanCatholicChurch.

R.:Since,forChristians,marriageis notonlyasocialbutalsoareligious contract,itshouldnotsurpriseyou that,sidebysidewithStateregulationsconcerningit,theCatholic Churchalsohasregulationswithwhich herownsubjectsmustcomply.If vonabandontheChristianviewof marriage,andregarditasamerely secularcontract,thenthelawsofthe CatholicChurchwillseemtoyousuperflous.ButthosewhoretainChristianconvictionsknowthatmarriage P#411,...11,041,0004.4.1.4,04,00NMIPINIMINP.P.I.

R.:Thatisanobviousexaggeration. Itwouldbeveryrarely,indeed,that twopeoplewouldconsidermarrying eachotherwithoutagleamofaffinity orunderstanding.Mistakesmayarise, ofcourse.Thecouplemaynotbe temperamentallysuitedtooneanother. Misunderstandingsmaylaterarise. Butthesefactorsdonotinvalidate themarriageitself,nordotheymake otherpeople"married"whohappened toloveeachother,andhavejusttaken uplivingtogetherwithoutgettingmarriedatall.

STRANGECONFUSION.

Q.:"Many'respectable'marriages," saidMr.Watts."areaghastlymockery,asocialhellofdeepeninghate andbitterness."

Rr.:Mr.Wattsisconfusingtheattitudeofthepartiestowardseach

TheShameofItaly

ThroughthecourtesyoftheYugoslavGovernmentinLondon,wehave receivedacopyintheoriginalItalian ofaletteraddressedinJunetothe CardinalSecretaryofStatebyMgr. Josepharskojc,BishopofKrk(VegIM),aViiiiislayislandinthenorthern Adriatic.-Thefollowingisatranslation: ToHisReverendEminencetheLord CardinalLuigiMaglione, SecretaryofStateofHisHoliness, CittadelVatican.

Theundersignedventureshumblyto drawthekindattentionofyourMost ReverendEminencetothefollowing eventswhich,sinceabouttwomonths ago,theItalianmilitaryandcivilauthoritieshavebeguntobringaboutin respectoftheCroatandSlovenepopulationsintheterritoriesaroundFiume andKupa,annexedlastyeartothe KingdomofItaly.

Immediatelyaftertheoccupationof theabove-mentionedterritories,inthe monthofApril,1941,theItalianauthoritiesbegantointernallindividuals whohadbeendenouncedtothemas suspectanddangerouspersons.This theydidwithoutmakinganypreliminarychargesorquestionings,orregularjudicialproceedings,Hundreds andhundredsofpeoplewerethusseizedanddeported.

Asaconsequenceofthis,themenfolkbegantotaketotheforestsin ordertoavoidimprisonment.And becausethe"Bosco"-thusthosecame tobecalledwhosoughttheirlibertyin theforests-notseldomtookvengeance onsomeoftheirpersecutors-thatis, ontheItalians,eithermilitaryorcivilian-theItalianauthoritiesattempted, bythemostcruelpenalties,toprevent andtorenderflightintotheforests impossible.Thus,insteadofseeking thedelinquentsintheforests,andpunishingthemaccordingtothelaw whichwasinforce-inthiscasemariallaw-the their bloodyvengeanceonadefenceless population;onwomenandchildren,on oldpeople,oncattleandonhomesteads.Herearesomeinstancesof veryrecentdate:-

1.OnJune6,1942,theItalianArmy surroundedseveralvillagesintheCome muneofCastua(Kastvo),nearFiume, andinternedmanyfamilies,afterhavingburntandlaidwastetheirhomes. (Herefollowthedetailsoftenofthese cases.)

2.Onthesameday,June6,1942,

whichbroughtsomanyhorrorstothe above-mentionedvillages,theyburnt 20housesandshot12menintheparishofCastua.CommuneofCastua.

3.IntheneighbourhoodofVilladel Nevosa(Bistrica),nearFiume,three carabinieriofficerswerekilled.Insteadofsearchingforthecriminals, theItalianArmycametothisplace, ontheFeastofCorpusChristi,June4, 1942,andproceededtolaywaste7 villages,tokill76people,andtodeport therest-allthistoavengeacrime committedbyunknownpersons.

4,InthevillageofCavle,the"Bosco" carriedoffintoitsforeststwoItalian 'Maestri."OnJune12,1942,anItalian militaryexpeditioncametothesaid place,whereitburnt5housesandkilled5men,ofwhom2werebarely16 yearsold.

5.OnJune10,1942,theyburntand devastated20housesinthevillageof Jelenje;and20men,chosenbydrawinglots,wereshot.

Allthesevictimswerekilled,most grievouslyinjured,ordeported,withoutanypreviouschargeoranyinterrogation,withtheutmostcrueltyand mercilessness,simplyonaccountof thiscircumstance:thatsomemember oftheirfamilyhadtakenrefugeinthe forestsSimilarterriblescenesare enactedbytheItalianmilitaryand civilauthoritiesdayafterday.The CroatandSloveneinhabitantsfind neitherprotectionnormercyalthe handsoftheItalian"fattori."

Itistruethatsuchhappeningsalso takeplaceamongtheGermanNazis, buttheyprofesspaganandmaterialistreligiousprinciples("iprincipireligiosipaganiematerialistici"),whereas theItalianpeopleiswhollyCatholic andtheItalianArmyiswhollyCatholic,accompaniedeverywherebya largenumberofItalianpriests-militarychaplains.Preciselyinthisfact liesthegravityofthesituation,which isleadingtheCroatandSlovenepeoples,intheirdespair,totheconclusionthatCatholicismpermitsallthe above-mentionedandsimilarcruelties, andhasneitherthewillnorthepower toresistthemandtocondemnthem.
