Chtist~as Story

A-~d ~it:'c~m:e' to"'~~ss"that

in' those days there

went out a decree from Ca~sar Augustus; that the whole world should be enrolled".

The enro,lIi.ng, was _ first _made . by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria. _. .,.. , ., And all went to be enr911ed, everyone into his own city.

And' Jos'eph also w'ent up' from Galilee,' out of the city of N.azareth into JUQea"to the city of .David, which is called B~thl~he~m, 'be'cause he was of the '.house and farrlily of David. ..' .. . . . .To ,be erlrolli;d 'with Mary his ~spo~sed 'wife, wh~ was with child; An'd, it' came to pass· that :when ,they were' there her dayswe~e occomplished that' she should be delivered.

And she brou,ght forth her first-born son and ~rapped Him up in' swaddling dothes' and laid Him in a'manger because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were. in the same country: shepherds ~atching and· keeping night-watches over their flock.

'And behold an angel of the lord stood by' them and the brightness' of. God sh.one roundabout them 'and they feared with a great fear.

And the angel said to them: "Fear not, for, behold I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall 'be to all the people.

"For this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the lord, in the city of David.

• "And this shall be. a sign unto you, you shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling dothes and laid in a manger~" And sudd~nly there was with the angel ~ multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying: "Glory to God' in the highest and on earth peace to m'en of good wilL" And it came to p~ss, after the angels departed from them into -heaven, the 'shepherds said one to another "Let us go over to Bethlehem ~nd let us see this word that is come to pass' which the lord hath showed to us."

And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.

And seeing, they understood of the word that' had. been spoken to them concerning this child.

And all that 'heard wondered and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary k~pt all these words, pondering them in her heart.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising' God for all the :things they had heard and seen, as it ~as told .unto them.

(St. Luke 2:1-20)

Calendar A custom growing in popularity is that of the Advent Calendar.

Each night during Advent children open a door or window in a representation of a house, and find some new symbol of the Christmas season. On Christmas Eve the largest door of all is opened and the Bethlehem manger scene is found.

Symbols The gifts of the Magi were sym-·bolic: the gold of a king, the frankincense of a high priest; the myrrh of a great physician. Legend says that for their 'gold they r e c e i v e d charity; for their frankincense' perfect faith; for their myrrh per fee t -truth.

Bishop's Christmas J~e~sage We read and hear a lot nowadays of "putting Christ back 'In Christmqs." The. idea .is all ri'ght. But what we really need to de:?' is to give Ch~i.stmas ba~k. 'tp Christ, and see that we give 'f; good share of ours~lves along .with the gift.. . ~.

After all, it' is His I:>irthday, and He should be the center of attention. Yet pe~ple exchange gifts with never. a thought' to the Giver of all that is good, and, God's tender gift of Himself.

Men brighten their homes with lights but pay scant heed to the True light that, has come into the world. They call in friends to rejoice with them, neglecting the changeless Friend. They are 'comfortably sentimental in what they do for children. They like to see how young eyes grow big with wonder at toys, a",d trinkets. But the real wonder of the day escapes them.

Each year at this time we revive and relive a mystery of ·our Faith. We remember the most wonderful thing t,hat ever happened on earth. We celebrate the fulfillment of all the hopes of Abraham, Isaac and the prophets-a realization so far beyond buman expectation that some still find it hard to believe.

We recall an historic event, something longed for~prayed for-a direct communication. from God to all men of good-will.This is a revelation in terms ,that even the simplest mind might ..nderstand and the scholar find himself immersed in a mystery of Divine love a'nd Goodness•. .

Here is something to wonder ,at, inde'ed.Hereis the. Eternal SOn of God appealing-for o~r I!,ve ~s a helpiess babe"the while He reveals the tender solicitude of an Infinite Father, so full· of <7oodness as to send us Hisc;mly-begotten Son. So tho.t; henceforth, anyone that knows and loves the Son is in a certain way to p,iease God.' , .. ' . .'. ," Here is mystery to make our eyes grow big and Our hearts thro~ with affection. And yet why ,is it that so many pass it by heedlessly? Why are so' ma~y taken. with the super:,i~ialities" of Christmas that they miss th~lasting IEts,son of loye that there ,to :I:se seen, studied and accepted?, , No, my brethren, if we will worider~ let us w9r:lder at th~ Goodness of God made ma'nifest to our eyes. let us wonder that the hand that cast the stars and set them on their course has become a tiny hand. let us marvel ~hat the mi,ght ,of God that created heaven and earth has been hidden in a human form, born of the Blessed Mary, ,ever Virgin, so that He may be our way, and truth and light of life on earth, our one sure hope for peace among men. let us be glad that He Who assumed our humanity has made us partakers of His Divinity.. let us be mindful of our vocation and our destiny to grow up in Him, to learn of Him that we may find Peace for our souls, the kind of peace that can endure all uncertainties and anxieties in this atomic age, and that no one, and nothing can take away from us ever.

So a Blessed, understanding, wonderful Christmas to one and aJ-l, I ,

Book Exposes True Nature Of Prejudice Fomenters,

TftE ANCHORTh",rs., Dec. 24, 1959

By Rt"\Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy It is hardly conceivable that at this late date one needs to explain that the initials POAU refer to an organization which callSl itself Protestants and Other Americans United

La. Befono

for Separation of Cllurch and State. No more, can it be required to tell reasonable schools themselves. and critical people that the: One sees, first't,thaf the most group is rabidly anti~atho­ sweeping allegations are made lie, and, on the' re«Olrd, hu without a jot of proof, a shed of aim but to denigrate the Catholic Church and relegate Catholic Americans to- the l'ank of second-, class citizens.

POAU'S performance has illuminated this fact beyond' the shadow of a doubt.

Still, there are undoubtedly great numbers of Americans who, averse to bigotry, have not bad the opportunity to consider POAU's activities; as a, whole" to delve into its background, to analyze its literature, and' to draw up a definite balance sheet.

These people are, therefore,. in aorne peril of being victimized by the organization's bold and persistent propaganda. " It is precisely for them that United for Separation by Lawrence W. Creedon and William D. Falcon (Bruce. $3.95) wouM aeem. to be' intended Although the book is' not. the best organizedl or most, biting expose of POAU that might be written', it will' serve the useflll pUrpQse' of indicating something of the true- Ilature" obj'eetiV'es>, and tacticS' of this. hate...monger-, tog combine~ Parlicularly; ttUs work assays the validity of PO.AU·s. argumentation.

Anti-Catholic AgitatioDl Tl're' authors make' some aketchy reference to, the history of anti-Catholic animus and agi'tation in this country. The smeJ.Iy subject is thoroughly covered in earlier works by Ray A. Billington and' Gustavus Myers.

What information is supplied here makes it unquestionable that. in outlook and, methods~ POAU is simply. a' contemporary reincarnation of the Know Nothings, the APA, and other tess well remembered fomenters <>f prejUdice.

Interestingly enough, over 100 ,.ears ago thel1e was an organization kindred. not merely in spirit but also in name: Le., the Order of United Americans.

One could wish that the authors had somewhat more spedfically stressed and illustrated the fact that, for all its noble pretensions, POAU is no better than the latest exemplification of an old, periodically appearing. and thoroughly discreditable phenomenon.

'Best Fr.iend" As the organization's name suggests, POAU professes to be concerned solely with preservation of strict separation of Church and State. Repeatedly it declares that it is not antiCatholic. One of its leading lights. has solemnly said that "we are the ROman Catholic's best friend."

But such protestations are at odds with the' reality. POAU bas gone far' afield from the aeparation of Church and State 1asue.

It has injured' the good name of Catholi'c bospitaIs, for' example. It hag cast aspersioIlS' on Cardinal Mfndszenty at the height. of his ordeal and when the free world saw him as • aymbolic victim. of COmmuniA totalitarianism., ~ It has viciously mudCiied" the waters in the matter' of' the BWlop of Prat'o, Italy., Pracfi.. cally limitless are' the' instances of its seizfug: on any least incident or utterance which might be twisted into a weapon against the Catholic Church.

Catholic schooIs are one' of its favotite targetS. Purportedly its concern with tliem is to see to it that they are not anowed' to, vio. late the separation principle.

- But it soon becomes plain' that . .-<>A,l,J. ~" oppese4, ~ ~e,.e, . '. .

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Dec. 24, 1959_

" ... in Those Days"

/

"Now it cam-e to pass in those days, that there went ferth a decree from Caesar Augustus ..."

As Monsignor Knox has remarked, there is a roll to that language introducing the Gospel account of the birth of Christ that is like a gun going off, or a· royal salute. The very words ring and are a reminder that "something of infinite importance took place at a finite moment of time."

The birth of Christ is dated. There was an identity ~ard issued to a man of the house of David and a woman with child. The exact calendar date may be shrouded in the centuries, but somewhere there was a register.....;..the register of Quirinius-and on that register there was a sign,. an identity card, in a sense, issued to a Divine Person.

It all took place not in. the nebulous realms 6f antiquity but in the reign of Caesar Augustus, while Cyrinus was go~nor of Syria. . '. ' . , There is something comforting about. history-and about an event that can be set down in a definite historical setting. The birth of the Son of God is just such an event.

It happened-it has an historical setting-Christ was duly enrolled as a subject of the emperor. Mary and Joseph did enter the Bethlehem that still exists-did take refuge in a cave that may still shelter shepherds-did make this the welcome-place of the Son of God. , .

It is not hard at this holy season to imagine the cool night air, the musty cave, the ill-smelling straw, the damp animal breaths. It is not difficult to picture the manger, the wonder of near-by shepherds,. the poor place made holy' by the greatness of the event that occurred there.

But at this Christmas time, while recognizing the historical event that took place. with the birth' of Christ, the poverty of the cave and the littleness of the Child should not be allowed to obscure the, divinity that these hid. ~or Christ was not only the poor Infant of Bethlehem, not only the Child whose smallness wrings sympathy from even the hardest of hearts. . , He is the Son of God-the 'proOf of the love of the Father for-His creatures. He is the Gift of the Father to men. ~'With the Child of Bethlehem,something of heaven h;:ts fallen upon earth." H~ is the Brother Who has come to lead all, without exception, home to the Father in heaven. . The stress in the Christmas story must be not upon our humanity which the Son of God took to Himself of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy ·Spirit. Me'n can get quite sentimental about that and it is only part of the story.

The stress should be upon the Divine Person Who is the living sign of God's. love for man, the Divine Person Who "makes all things new," Who reaches out still to ·,unite men to Himself in a living and supernatural union that gives holiness and peace in. this life and is a pledge of heaven in the next. And that is an event that has continued since Bethlehem and goes on still.

Enter the Madonna

Those who cannot tolerate the presence of Ma~y throughout ~ost. of the year-who refuse to give h.er any place at all In God's plan for man'!;! redemption-let down the bars of prejlldice at this holy' time and allow 'the Madonna to enter. '.' .

True enough, she is allowed only space on cards. or a position of adoration in a manger. Her presence' is neither explained nor acknowledged with much attention. But even the m9st anti-Mary individual must know that there can be no Child without the mother.

That was the plan of God, too. The Child would come through the mother-and the Person of the Child would demand a mother of flawless character and peerless holiness. . Pope John spoke truly a few months ago when he said that one of the stumbling blocks to religious unity is the neglect of Mary on the part of non-Catholics. The Orthodox and the Moslems hold her in high regard. The Protestants, almost without exception, give her scant attention.

But Mary is allowed in the. Christmas scene by all.

While some may not explain why she is there, they dare not keep her out. For as Chesterton said with so much common ,sense and wisdom and-in this case-theology: "Who ever saw a baby without its mother." , And if the mother had a place in the St.able .of Bethlehem, how could she ever be excluded from the remainder of the Child's life? ' It raises questions, doesn't it?

Most important Part ofSe'aso'n Isn't ,Material Preparation

fHE ANCHOR~ Thun., Dec. 24, 1959

By Mary Tinley Daly Merry ,Chri~tmas, readers! There's something about that greeting-short, crisp and to the point, a -friendly way of answering the phone at our house all day Dec. 25.

To all of you-North, East, West, South (origin of the word NEWS), we at our creche is in place, tree, wreath house wish you, at yours, and turkey ordered. Presents the finest and holiest Christ- for family aren't elaborate but Inas season ever. Together, they will be given with fondest

".t' '<

we're celebrating the anniversary of the most wonderful news that ever came to mankind.

Underly i n g aU the hectic "gotta-get-thisdone," "Oh-mygoodness - I'U Dever-be-ready" atmosphere imposed on us largely by a secular attitude toward,this sacred season, there is inherent in every true believer In Christ the awesome' and very Ileal meaning of Christmas.

Perhaps you are ,one who started your Christmas savinglil' account last Dec. 15 and will face no January bills; had your house refurbished, and shining clean from attic to basemen,t by Thanksgiving; had cards written addressed and sta'inped in October; presents',' 'bought" wrapped and waiting with those for out-of-town mailed, by 'Dec. ' 1; turkey stuffed and: in, the freezer; gala holiday ji:arb for 'the entire household In perfect order; checks made out:~for end.. of-year giving for obvious and not altogether altruistic~reasons; house bedecked inside"~and out; party invitations issued; food all fixed and frozen awaiting, Jest minute serving.

It's Christmas If so, you are the "Orga~IZed Woman" that I have striven, spasmodically and vainly, to imitate.

Never made It. Remember the old Hng, -Suddenly, it's S~ring!"?

For me, Suddenly it's' ChristMas. "Another coat of paint is' sUll clue on the bedroom we did over , -but it will stay one-coated ptil after the holidays; a sOck and a half of the pair I started ' to knit with sweet seiltiD1ents .. dOne, and I .haven't the n'erve to present a footless sock to the Bead of the House; the ~2 kinds, of Christmas cookies I'd resolved to have finished end up at six; we are still debating whether or Rot we should publish our DALY ~REETING this year (and no~ a word for it DO,r a picture token).

And that's about the state our Ilouse is in as Dec. 25 inexorably dr'aws near.

Straw In many homes children prepare a manger restingp I ace for the Christ child throughout Advent. Each good deed merits a straw, which is placed in the manger. By Christmas Eve, each child hopes to have the manger ~ell-filled and thus present a gift to the Infant.

love. And the "surprise" giftsthose' for people who don't expect them but whom we truly want to t:emember-are in readi-

ness.

So what didn't get done will remain in the rea~ of the roomfor-improvement category.

We'll enjoy Christmas as usual; the warmth of family and friendly ties when the house is always open and people we don't see often enough drop in for no special reason - just because they want to see us as they know we want to see them.

And there's the prospect of Midnight Mass, that peak of the season which has an atmosphere all its own. 'Snow or no snow, there's that White Christmas' feeling as we set the house to rights, turn on' the tree lights, bundle up and start' off for Mass together in the cold frostiness. , The decorated church, the familiar music, the scent of incense, the glow of candles. Best of all, worship' together with loved ones.

And then the "Merry Christ.;. mas!'" 'greetings. " Gloria in excelsis Deal' •

"Nothing new under the sun," sighed King Solomon, repeating what his ancestors had said a thousand times before him: And a thousand thousand times since we have had occasion to mull over the profundity of that threadbare truism. Take, for ex- . method. ample, all this business of It was all tremendously im"Population Explosion." It 'pressive. For the convinced is as old as the hills, as "racist of the Nazi persuasion the hoary and as venerable. The changes on it have been rung so often and in such a variety of contexts that it is admirable in our eyes. Yet here it is again, the pretentious old fraud masquerading as brand new and up-to-date, parading as the latest scientific discovery.

Who it was who first conceived the notion that there were too many people for the earth to support is an unknown lost in the mists of pre-history.

Certain it is that the thesis has, been dragged out of its skeleton closet whenever it has been deemed useful for propaganda purposes.

The ancient Greeks deplored the fecundity of th~, Scythians and the Romans viewed, with alarm the mounting population statistics of the barbarians.

The French have always contended that there were far too many Germans, and the British, only yesterday, were worried lest the Irish multiply too rapid.,. ly for the welfare of the Empire.

Standing Room Only Nor has there ever been any lack of "scientific" evidence to support these various prejudices.

The Reverend Thomas Malth.us, early in the 19th century, produced whai seemed to be itrefutable proofs that before the century was out there would be . standing room ~mly for wretched humanity, and every so often, over the past hundred years, renowned "authorities" have 'come' forth with facts and figures leading to the conclusion that mass starvation is just around the corner and that the 'race. is.

Viking .Tree ,It is said that when Christianity came to the Vikings, the Lord sent his messengers, Faith, Hope and Charity, to light a tree. They .sought a tree that would be high as hope, wide as love, and bear the sign ,of the cross on every bough. The Balsam Fir best met all these requirements.

conclusions were self-evident.

Better to kill off the unfit than to permit them to crowd the cultural aristocrats off the face of the earth.

Wholesale Slaughter There was, admittedly, a certain crudity, not to say cruelty, in the Nazi recipe for racial adjustment. It envisaged wholesale slaughter of the lesser breeds without the law; it employed---. the gas-chambers of Buchenwald and Dachau rather than the mild and beneficent program of artificial birth prevention.

But ~he effect, designedly, was ultimately, the same.

BONNES (NC) -:-F~ther.Jean Antoine Privat, France's senior pastor, pbserved his 100th birthc:lay here where' he .has spent his entire priestly life. ~ 'He arrived in Bonnes. newly ordained, 75 years ago. Until he was 90, he made his rounds of'· the' nearby villages in this part of the Angouleme diocese by bicycle. But an operationforced him to give up the bicycle. At 100, Father Privat sees in the automobile a great boon for young priests; But' for him, the best of the modern inventions is the rubber hot water bottle -h,e can sleep without be;coming cold.

Recalling that his father lived to be 93, Father Privat attributed the family's longevity to the fact that "we don't go in for drinking bouts." Another reason, he says, is that "we drink goat's milk and spring water." .
