THOUGHTS FOR OUR TIME

BY HIS EMINENCE CARDINAL McGUIGAN

THIS CULT. OF ‘STARS’ IS NOT REAL SPORT

There was a time when one could tell the season of the year by the major ‘sport that was then in vogue. Now that indicator séems to be as unreliable as the weather. For we have foot-

- ball in August and hockey in

April, . with baseball overlaping in both directors. But just as we adapt ourselves of weather and blame it on sun spots or atom tests, so we have come to accept’ sports in a season not ~ traditionally assigned to them and explain it as a necessity of ™ gome kind. As a result, the possibility of confused_ideas regarding the role and-:purpose of sports, es-

pecially foi* the non-professional |

suggests that a review of some Christian principles of sport

might be beneficial and enlight- |

‘ening.

The tare of the body and. phy- sical culfure cannot be neglect- ed by the Church as a work outside her-— proper sphere as though only things “purely rel- igious” and exclusively spirtit- ual were within her competence. For there are natural and Chris-

tian virtues without which sport |

could not properly develop but would inevitably degenerate in- to a form of closed materialism, an end in itself.

- Moreover, there are Christ- fan principles and norms which when applied to sport open up to it loftier horizons, For sport is a field of activity where it is easy to neglect the most mport. ant values of the spiritual. over- exalt the values of the body and forget essential duties to God and family.

PRUDENCE NEEDED

ere should be a conviction eng ed in the amateur by those who train and coach them

that the care of the body is not |

an end in itself but should be directed to. the intellectual and moral perfecting of the whole man. This has some practical applications:. prudence is neces- sary in assigning or permitting one to enter certain sports.

“The aid of a doctor is essen- tial. Exercise In the sport should never interfere with the duties of one’s state.- especially the duty of the student to study. Rather | the excercise should be-an aid to} fulfilling these duties, at least indirectly by rebuilding energy or relieving tensions.

The desire to win must not be allowed to lead +o violations of the common moral law. For example, there-is a limit that must be to the right use of- one’s body. a limit that pre-

vents subjecting it to ruinous | or using dangerous |

exertions stimulants to- achieve a super-

—~«atrenght for the “big” game.

A word here in regard to! spectators of professional and | amateur contest. For they have |

a@ responsibility. as to sports- |

writers - and promoters not to} applaud daring risks or to de- mand inhuman strain from their team or contestant.

A positive view of sport will be an education and will tend to develop the intellect and train the will especially in competi- | tive matches. There will be a need to reflect, to judze, to use one’s energy -wisely, to foresse the manoeuvers of the adver-

Sary, to use one’s reserve =|

by these will the intellect be sharpened. DUTY TO TEAM

The will in its turn can be strengthened by a consciousness of duty to the team, legitimate desire for victory, small or even great sacrifices gladly accepted to develop one’s potential. Proof of this latter development will be evidenced by careful and methodical training, persever- ance despite failure and ‘endur- ance of discomforts.

With the help of prayer other virtues can also be develoved by participants in psorting events. Among others, loyatly to the team, truthfulness that does not resort to excuses, docil- ity and obedience to the wise commands of the coach, modesty |in victory, and calmness in de- \ feat, patience towards spectators who are not always moderate.

se virtues and these princi- ples can best free sport from deviations that are devlored by |all—commercialism and an ex- aggerted cult of the “stars” to which are sacrificed high ideals, justice; ‘an unreasonable desire to win that_may ruin the health of the athletes and the good re. puation of the team or the ones sponsoring the team.
