Thoughts For Our Time

By His Eminence Cardinal McGuigan (Copyright)

prom time to time we are ad- med solemnly of the dangers of d,m,ite goals or purposeful direc- ion or any human activity. be it irelleciuai. moral or physical. WE inn be gold, for example. to be- "try. of anything like ends or gtlmdards m the upbringing of thud,-en. Even the teaching of the difference between right and wrong is thought to be the re- flection of an oppressive and naive dogmatlsn. hardly to be tolerated 3 "democratic" society- msuch a position is. of course. an xtremely dogmatic 'one in itself. 95 H. Chesterton very humor- mmfy ma wisely remarked that here are two clas59s of Deni”? in :he world-those who believe in dognlils and know it, and those who accept dogma-'1 End d0”'l' know it. Surely the dogma. We have described must be rejected as ,-ontrridictory to common sense llild. indeed. injurious to our. na- tional welfare. The elimination of all dll'e('ClOi'l, of all purpose or goal in human or any otiicr kind or activity can lead nowhere ex- (wt to rhaos. liiiaciiie trying to run ll farm or .1 on.-iiiess or do artistic work on the assumption that there can be no attempt to direct work towards A given goal-as if a dii-ectionless ;.ciiviLy were not an impossibil- "J Can a man walk without dir- .5 on, or work without a purpose? Whr. then. should he be educat- ed in-;thout at least some general program based upon the powers and ends of human nature. though. of course. we must always take into consideration individual problems and capacities? Never- theless. beneath all individual dif- iercnrcs. men aitree at least in this. that they are men. and as such they have common ends. and means for attaining them. a O C

we can easily note in the lives of individual men the importance of activity channelled in a defin- ite direction. towards a well-de- fincrl goal. A man who has with detcrinination set a particular goal for himself. often asionishes us by the force and vitality with uiii.li he operates. moving stead- ily towards the fulfillment of his plan. Such goals may not always be nniilc ones, they even may be rleridr-dly evil ones. but in either case they serve to illustrate our point as to the necessity of defin- re direction for any activity. ,

what is true of individual men 1: also true in its own way of na- iiolls made up of these men. In

y our own time the' Western demo-

rrarirs have often shown a vanil- l;itioii which has proved at least n'an.:ci-nus. and could conceivably

nature of our political institu- tions elimlnatcs the rigidity and inflexibility of a totalitarian po- litical organization. Surely, how- ever, a general agreement as to the meaning and fundamental master-ideas of our political way of life is not incompatible with its free character-indeed it is a condition for survival. 0 0 0

Barbara Ward in her "Policy For the west" has pointed out succinctly a truth which we must meditate upon- "An idea. has never yet in human history been defeated by no idea at all." These are thoughtful words and contain a lesson that many of our so-call- ed leaders of thought might well ielearn. A morality without pur- pose. without positive til-section is an impossibility, and a society. a civilization, without ends, without definite aspirations is doomed to decay and death, particularly when it is faced with .1 morality and a society which has inexor- ably fixed ldeals. and is hamper- ed by no scruples in the attain- ment of them. Democracy cannot live without purposeful activity, any more than a. plant can grow without food. sun and air.

If the word democracy has any definite meaning at all, it must involve some sort of definite goals and over-all orientation. We in the West who find ourselves faced with it complete way of life such as Communism would do well to re-examine our own tradi- tions to see if we cannot discover the fundamental notions and as- pirations which created our civi- lization and its political institu- tions. These. must once again be- come our guiding stars if we are in elaborate a 5'-T0113 dylmmlc policy. Negatives are not enough-

idcals if we are to continue to grow and wax strong. I O C

The notion of the dignity of the human person. for example. en- dowed with freedom and responsi- bility, has been of overwhelming importance in the history of the development of Western society. This idea is in direct cpposition to the Communist concept of a rig- idly iiecessitarian social evolution -n vicw'which is, in comparison with Western notions-of the es- sence of reaction. and primitive in the extreme. But if such a view of human dignity is to have anv dynamic meaning for us, it must be seen in relation to the Greek- Jewlsh-Cliristian origins which bare it into the West. Our demo- cratic way of life has been living on capital accumulated from these sources. but if it is to continue to

lie di-nsirnus. Of course. the very

enjoy this capital it must return

The "listening in" habit on tele-

The average length of a tele- phone conversation between males is one minute, between females. 7 1-2 minutes. and then we always lcnew that women had the last word.
