The council Fathers in considering the efficacious presence’* of the Church in the modern world are expected to consider ways of Implement ing Mater et Magistra and the other social teachings of the modern popes. The author of the article, the first Indian Cardinal and the president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, served on the ecumenical coun cil's Central Preparatory Commission. His published works include "Features of Christian Life" and 'The Vati can and International Policy," By Valerian Cardinal Gracias Archbishop of Bombay (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) The clear stand which Pope John XXIII took in behalf of the underdeveloped countries has brought Into focus the Church's position of moral leadership in the world. At no time has it been eas ier to speak of this leadership than at present. The response in India to the encyclical Mater et Magistra has been beyond all expectations. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru himself made a reference to the Pope's en cyclical In the Indian Parlia ment. Even more informative is an article by another Indian, Dr. B. R. Sen, the present Dir ector General of the United Nat ions Food and Agriculture Or ganization (FAO). SPEAKING of the current awakening of the nations to the problem of hunger. Dr. Sen says that about 50 nations are now participating in the campaign to help the underdeveloped nat ions. Then he goes on to add: "An outstanding example of support by world leaders is the historical encyclical Mater et Magistra issued by His Holiness Pope John XXIII in July 1961. In this inspiring document His Holiness praised FAO's work towards establishing fruit ful accord among nations, pro moting the modernizing of agri culture, and alleviating the suf ferings of hunger-striken peo ple." It is no exaggeration to say that Pope John gave the FAO ITS CHARTER, BECAUSE Dr goes on to quote the encycli cal: "Probably the most dif ficult problem of the modern world concerns the relationship between political communities that are economically advanc ed and those in the process of develpment, The standard of living is high In the former, while In the latter countries poverty, and in some cases, ex treme poverty exists." IT MIGHT seem as If Pope John Is stressing the obvious. But to us in the poverty-stric ken countries the voice of the Pope came like the voice of tire physician who has just arrived at the bedside of a patient half gone. It is true that wordly goods and their immediate pursuit are not the specific field of the Church's competence. We must not Impose upon her the irk some task of exchanging the su pernatural order for the tempo ral. But it is certain that the Christian needs a certain well being in order ot practice his Christianity as a human being. With an empty belly a man has no ears for supernatural truths. The voice of the Pope has substance, both in point of the duty to help, as well as what we Asians love to call "humani- tarianism." With so many of the best of Asians, humanita- rianism is the only creed left. We continue the above quota tion of the Pope's words, not forgetting that it pleased Dr. Sen to reproduce it: 'The sol idarity which binds all men, and make them members of the same family," says Pope John, "Imposes upon political com munities enjoying abundance of material goods not to remain indifferent to those political communities whose citizens suffer from poverty, misery and hunger, and who lack even the elementary rights of the hu man person." THIS MUST be the charter element in the Pope's words. The underdeveloped nations have just gained their freedom, and it hurts them to beg from the advanced nations. The raw material nations are forever at the losing end of the deal, and how they long to be able to develop, industrialize and get out of their miseries I In addition to their sensiti veness, their bargaining streg- th is low. Hence the Pope's appeal to "political communit ies enjoying abundance," on grounds of "solidarity which binds all men" to go to the aid of the hungry, is like pointing up the task of the FAO to con sider the misery of the poor nations as a world responsibi lity. There is no backing out of this responsibility on political grounds, exposed as they are to the vagaries of understand ings and misunderstandings. Nor are the competitive factors among the advanced nations am ong themselves—especially of setting up newer industries and inventing newer armaments— any good to nations suffering from want and misery. BUT THE poor nations are not in a position to convince anybody, unless world leaders like the Pope or world agencies of the UN take up their plea and affix their signatures. Many of our generous leaders will be straining at the leash to go Into instant action. Many Catholic organizations in Eur ope and America are giving lar ge scale aid to eradicate dis ease and hunger. A survey of this help In the fields of food, health, welfare service and technical training would certainly suit the purpose of this article. But we must continue with the quotation of the Pope, as does Dr. Sen, in or der to get into the very lining of Asian thinking on this sub ject. Pope John goes on to say: 'This is more so since, given the growing interdepence among peoples of the earth, it is not possible to preserve lasting pe ace, if glaring economic and so cial inequality persists." It looks as if the Pope is going off at a tangent. What has hunger and misery to do with the threat to peace? IT IS so easy to fix the casus belli—the causes of war—on some contemporary stress of the decade which would pass away and give place to new areas of tension. World War 1 was fought primarily between France and Germany. It was essentially a European war. World War II was fought across the continents of Europe and Asia, with Japan thrown into the bargain; and at the end new forces got released, primarily in Asia—in India, South east Asia, and China. Today we are accustomed to think of the Cold War between the communist and the Western powers. But even now, the rival parties are competing for the allegiance of Asia's millions. The resurgent underdeveloped nations are not conscious to take sides in this cold war. There Is something else that touches them deeply—the glar ing economic inequality to which Pope John has drawn attention. He puts it strongly when he says ‘It is not possible!" What is not possible? *To preserve lasting peace, if glaring econo mic and social inequality per sists" between prosperous and underdeveloped nations! TO MAKE this point clear, let me quote a fellow Asian, Francis Wong, in his article on Malaysia in the Asia magazine. His observation is that the so cial and economic thinking of the millions in want gets canalized into their politics— to where they will add their votes. Francis Wong shows how Malaya, Singapore, Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo have greater natural resources and a better standard of living than most of the other Asian nations. But "this prosperity is a re liable Aslan prosperity, how ever, and it is now under two forms of pressure. First, there is the so-called revolution of rising expectations. ‘Though the Malaysian States are better off than some other Asians, this impresses them less than the fact that there is a lack of many good things of life which seem to be taken for granted by people seen in films and read about in newspapers and which Malaya's own upper and middle classes enjoy. "PEOPLE want more. At the same time, a staggering rate of population growth is making it increasingly difficult for them to keep as much as they have got." The economic factor, then, is sheer want and misery. The so cial factor merging into the political is "the revolution of rising expectations." If the communist powers or the Western powers want to compete for the minds and souls of Asia's millions, let them first feed their bodies and ans wer their "revolution" of ris ing expectations. The commun ists do have the creed for it, though in actual performance they fall short of plenty. Wes tern powers have the 'plenty" and also the willingness to share it; but they lack the dynamism and the creed. There are other ways of putt ing it. Some responsible people think that as "people to peo ple" there is a greater sym pathy on the part of the Wes tern prosperous nations for their brethren of the under developed countries; but they are often hindered from com ing to our timely aid, and in good measure owing to political business factors which are FOURTH PERIOD RALLY St. Pius X Holds South Hall To Tie BY JAMES DARDEN St. Pius' Golden Lions scored late in the fourth per iod to come from behind and tie South Hall. Jimmy Darden, St. Pius quarterback, scored scored with three and one-half minutes left on a four yard keeper play. At the outset of the game neither team could push a sc ore across. South Hall, with great team speed, made a few serious threats. LATE IN the second quarter the Lions got their offense mov ing. Tom Medland and Paul Fal- etti were the work horses of the drive. The key play was a flat pass to Faletti to the South Hall five. Ed Lacey’s absence was evi dent as the Lions had trouble pushing across the score. How ever, on fourth down Denny Wigbels took a screen pass and scampered for the touchdown. Faletti kicked the extra point and the Lions led 7 to 0 at halftime. SOUTH HALL made their first score late in the third period. They came out throwing when they got possession of the ball in the fourth stanza. The Knights scored their other touchdown on a thirty yard pass play. This made the county 13 to 7 in favor of South Hall. Running by halfback Tom Medland and passing by Jimmy Darden powered a late drive by St. Pius. Darden scored the touchdown on a four yard run. ST. PIUS worked an onside kick and got the ball on the Knights 45 yard line. They drove to the four before a fumble sto pped the drive. Tom Medland, who rushed for 119 yards for the night, made the big play of the final drive. It was a 33 yard run on a draw play. behind the times. HOWEVER, in point of creed and dynamism, where does the Catholic Church stand? Pope John in the passage quoted above ends with the words of John the Apostle: "He that hath sub stance of the world and shall see his brther in need, and shall shut up his bowels in him: how doth the charity of God abide in Him?" 1The peoples of Asia are not; irreligious. They value religion and respect those who order their lives according to relig ious precepts and practices. But unfortunately, religion is identified with denominations, communities, establishments and institutions. The respect the common man has for religion or religious, allows the various denominations and establish ments their rights and prospe rity. BUT WHAT about the lot of the common man? What about the common misery? Is it too much to expect of religion to extend itself and make itself coextensive with the common life and its deficiencies? So far the answer would be: "Who knows?" But since Pope John has spo ken it does look as if relig ion would not refuse life’s chal lenges. The latest apologedque in the underdeveloped countr ies of Asia might well be con tained in those words of St. John the Apostle: "He that hath substance, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?” If there is a God, and if peo ple are attached to Him, what ever be the manner of their attachment, they make a moc kery of Him and His kindness, if they lack the charity so well indicated by St. John in the Bible. WE CANNOT close this art icle without paying a tribute to the late Pope from whose words the situation has been depicted. He said in that very passage of the Mater et Magistra: "Mindful of our role of Uni- veral Father, we feel obliged solemnly to stress what We have in another connection stated: *We are all equally responsible for the undernourished peoples’*. The world of Asia warmed up to Pope John as the Uni versal Father. Wasn’t it nice of him to take upon himself that role and to feel it?
