00'Con[usion Worse Con[ounded'
Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen
i The Gospel story of the life of Christ is the pro-history of the
;.iurch. What happened tO the Piwsical Christ, happens also to
Mystical Christ, the Chm'ch. As Iie sufftred under Pontius
ate, so must the Church suffer under the power of the state;
as He was accused of perverting the nation,
so must the Church feel the sting of the
same false charge. During this Lent partic-
ularly, one can see Christ once again going
out to Ills death, not in Jerusalem, but in
the Mission World.
Our Lord said: "Suffer the little chil-
dren to come unto Me." But in Ceylon,
there is a movement to hand over all Catho-
lic schools to the state, thus permitting
Buddhist, Hindu and Moslem teachers "to
suffer the little children to come unto con-
fusion worse confounded." The same anti-
Christian forces would ban all sisters from
hospitals after October 1, 1956. One won-
ders who will take over without salary, and
with such dedicated service, the two leper
clonles now served by pious hands and
hrist-likc. hearts. In Canton, Holy Week is re-lived by His Excel-
ncy Bishop,, Dominic Tang. Exactly like" his Master, he is ac-
Cused of perverting the nation, refusing to give tribute to Mao-Tse
ung', and saying that Christ is King."
1: There is one difference between the Passion of Christ, in Jeru-
|alem and His Gethsemane today. Then, ' they all forsook Iim, and
fld." Thank God, today our faithful feel the suffering of Christ
in China as the brain feels a burned hand. Their interest is not
eamtional, but sacrificial. Many are making a tiny act of self-
Uq[nial every day or every week, and then sending t. to the Holy
F£)ler through the Society for the Propagation of the*! Filt.h; which
b4[e0ntrols, to aid the missions throughout the world. - .

is It Sinful For A Coup le Of Different
Races White and Negro) To Enter
Marriage In View of U.S. Prejudices?
First of all, we must make it definitely clear that such a mar-
riage is NOT WRONG IN ITSELF. There is no lw of God--no
law of the Church--which forbids such a marriage: The laws of
some of our states do forbid such marriages, but these laws are not
valid for baptized people. If is interesting to note that the courts
have held such a law unconstitu-
tional In California. Only the
Church can make a valid law for-
bidding baptized people to mar-
ry.
But circumstances frequently
change the morality of an act.
And we must always be alert to
the consequences of our acts. An
act good in itself may be made
bad by its circumstances or con-
sequences: From an act like
marriage there are many conse-
quences lasting throughout the
years and affecting the lives of
many people. Many of these con-
sequences we can not foresee.
These have no effect on the mor-
ality of our act. But others we
can and SHOULD forsee. These
we must weigh seriously and
carefully. Do the good conse-
quences outweigh the bad.
, ,: ,:Pt'Jmtle Is a FaeL .... ..
Young people of different
races contemplating marriage
must seriously consider the so-
cial problems they themselves
will encounter and those they
impose ripen their children. We
may rightly condemn our racial
prejudices. But they are facts,
hard, painful and persistent facts.
Before a man is justified in sub-
Jecting his wife and children to
the rigorous reality of those
facts, he must think repeatedly
and weigh well.
But there are good results to
be weighed--mutual love and
happiness and helpfulness and
the blessings consequent thereto.
In any given case the parties
must carefully consider all the
consequences. If they judge that
the good effects outweigh the
bad, they do no wrong at all in
marrying. It is the good they
intend. They accept the bad with
it, as something inescapable in
human life.
But they should seek com-
petent advice, too. Because they
are apt to be deluded by emo-
tion, and to weigh the scales wfth
their own desires. The problem
is serious and the consequences
will last for generations.
It should be mentioned that
rcial prejudice and the Pesult-
ing social problems are largely
local. In many parts of the
world there is no aocial handicap
resulting from such marriages.
Ungrateful Children.
They wouldn't have personality
or immortality.
Their mixed race is nothing
more than a social handicap re-
sulting from prejudice. Such a
handicap may well serve to de-
velop character, to inspire to
greatness, anal to lead to the full
happiness of self-conqtlest and
victory over circumstances• It
really handicaps only those who
use it as an excuse for failure or
a refuge from fear.
, Are there any Catholic institu.
tions wMch offer a course in phy-
s'.col education or women?

men's collegeg and co-educational
