T k f n c o l KENTUCKY AMERICAN 11 t VOLUME VINO 5 LOUISVILLE SATL DAY FEBRUARY 2 1901 PRICE FIVE CE T TH ENCYCLICAL Holy Father Favors Christian Democracy and Against Socialism Impresses Upon Rich the Duty of Relieving Wants of the Poor The Tendency of Catholics to Work For the Masses Praiseworthy BEWARE THE PLAGUE OF EYILS The following is the text of the Holy Fathers encyclical on Socialism and So- cial o Democracy issued last Sunday It was translated from the Latin by Rev Henry Wynne SJ of St Xaviers Col lege and President of the Apostleship Prayer for the New York Journal There are some who think the introduction is from the pen of Cardinal Ramnpolla Papal Secretary of State The snares and serious dissensions about social economy which for some time have been disturbing the spirit of peace are now every day arousing such a class spirit that even prudent men have become anxious This discord originated in errors of thought and action occasioning sharp conflicts between the rich and the poor We have already intervened on this ques ¬ tion showing the errors of socialism in our encyclical of December 28 1878 And as the errors kept growing we found it necessary to intervene once more with another encyclical dated May 15 1891 These encyclicals producedabundant fruit as appears not only from the check put to these dissensions but also by the impulse given to institutions for the ben ¬ efit of the working classes This movement for the masses had not a proper name Some called it Christian Socialism or the Peoples Christian move ¬ ment and its apostles took the name Socialists others called it Christian De ¬ mocracy to offset the term Social Democ- racy ¬ used by the Socialists- If the term Christian Socialists was not considered ambiguous and dangerous by Vmantlieterm ChrLstianDethocracyAts consideredsucti because they feared that Sit would become a source of a political revolution and for this reason the Pope has deemed it opportune to decide the controversy The following is the text of the most important passage of the en ¬ cyclical What does social democracy mean What Christian democracy means there can be no doubt But social democracy is so freely and recklessly interpreted that many come to the dangerous opinion that as there is nothing beyond bodily health and riches human happiness con- sists ¬ in seeking and enjoying these hencethey would attribute all authority to the people level away all civic dis Unctions and establish an equality of fortuneHence all right of property must be done away with and all that individuals possess must be regarded as commou propertyBut Christian democracy as taught by Christianity based as it is on the prin ¬ ciple of Divine faith and studying the advantages of all seeks to perfect human souls for everlasting joys and therefore solemnly insists on the right of acquiring and possessing and maintaining a proper distinction of degrees in every well con ¬ stituted society and of impressing upon human society the stamp and character which God has given to it The Pope adds that Christian democ ¬ racy should not mix in politics but de ¬ vote itself wholly to deeds of Christian benevolence toward the people Christian democracy the Pope says should not create class hatred nor rebel against the prevailing laws and institu ¬ tions so as to bring the name of Christian democracy into suspicion Then he con ¬ tinuesI mentioned the duties of virtue and religion though some whose opinion prevails with the masses think the social question to be purely an economic one when on the contrary it is most surely above all others 1 moral and religious one and therefore dependent on the moral law and the tribunal of religion The tendency of Catholics to work for the masses is all the snore pralsworthy because it is manifested in the same sphere in which steadily and successfully under the benign influence of the church the zealous enterprise of charity strives to accommodate itself to the times The law of charity reinforcing the law of justice sees to it that each one gets his own and that noonei is cut off from his right Let it be clear therefore that the zeal of Catholics for relieving and elevat ¬ ing the people is in strict accordance with the spirit of the church and with her exampler rWhat means may be adopted for this Christian movement will not matter so J much if the principle laid down by us be- t observed But what matters most of all in an affair of such vast importance is that Catholics should act with one mind a dwiiiaBdwith one effort and what is quite ae important is that their ctkm > Kwld Multiply Itself by every huinan Mid worldly r K > urce and go on l iocr M iag pd expending tbOM especially are eihorted touu VP part in this movement whose station means mental and moral endowments give them some influence in the cons monwealtb If these be wanting scarce anything can be done that will avail for advancing the condition of the people while on the other hand this advance- ment ¬ is all the more sure and speedy when a number of leading citizens com- bine ¬ together for it We would have them consider that they are not free to mind or to neglect the lot of the poor but that they are bound to this by their very duty that no man dwells in a community for his own benefit simply but for the good of aliso that what some can not contribute to the common weal others who can should contribute abundantly and the extent of the obligation in this matter is to be measured by the abundance of their pos- sessions ¬ for which they must make a strict account to God the giver Let them take heed also of the plague of evils which if no remedy be applied must some day result in the destruction of all classes in society so that he who neglects the cause of an afflicted people is breeding trouble for himself and for the StateWe also counsel seriously that whatever individuals or societies mny un ¬ dertake for this purpose be done under the authority of the Bishops and let them not be deceived by any impulse of charity which might lead them to disre ¬ gard obedience as nothing either useful for the people or pleasing to God could come of it God is always pleased with him whose views are submissive to the authorities of the Church and who hears their voice and who is always ready to undertake arduous tasks with their sanction- It will help very much to the endwe have in view if men show by their lives examples of virtue which will prove that they despise idleness and the pleasures of wealth and that they devote it to the good of others Such examples are pow ¬ erful to excite in the people a spirit of selfhelp and have a greater force when they appear in the lives of leading citi ¬ zensWe exhort you my venerable breth ¬ ren in your prudence and zeal to con ¬ suIt among yourselves according to the need of the people and places where you arc and let your authority avail to mod ¬ erate repress and resist so that the vigor of holy discipline be not relaxed under any pretext whatever Let the proper distinction of degrees which Christ ordained for His Church appear so clearly in the united and pro ¬ gressive work of all Catholics and let ltynourIsh under the guidance and teaching of the Church whose most holy mission it is to keep Christians in mind of their duty to unite rich and poor in brotherly love and to support and strengthen souls in ad ¬ versity MACKIN COUNCIL Ready For Mammoth Euchre Monday Afternopn and Night Chairman Charles Raldy reported Tues day evening at Mackin Council that am ¬ pIe

this season and a brilliant social success seems assured POPULAR OFFICIAL- Recently much favorable comment has been made upon the excellent service rendered throughout the city where gaso ¬ line lamps only are used This branch of the local government was never better conducted than at present owing to the zeal and industry of Assistant Inspector Patrick OKeefe who sees that all such lamps are kept in proper order and promptly lighted This explains his great popularity and the frequent sug ¬ gestion of his name for a snore responsi ¬ ble position FOR f HE POOR St Josephs Aid Society of St Cecilias church have worked faithfully relieving the wants of the poor and the recent cold snap requiring more fuel ll clothing and food has exhausted their funds The poor will need aid during the winter and the ladies call on the public to as- sist ¬ in the good work They will give a euchre next Friday afternoon and even ¬ ing at Mackin Council Hall Twentysixth neat Slevin Take West Main

TTH ENCYCLICAL

Holy Father Favors ChristianDemocracy and Against

Socialism

Impresses Upon Rich the Dutyof Relieving Wants of

the Poor

The Tendency of Catholics toWork For the Masses

Praiseworthy

BEWARE THE PLAGUE OF EYILS

The following is the text of the HolyFathers encyclical on Socialism and So-

cialo

Democracy issued last Sunday Itwas translated from the Latin by RevHenry Wynne S J of St Xaviers College and President of the ApostleshipPrayer for the New York Journal Thereare some who think the introduction isfrom the pen of Cardinal RamnpollaPapal Secretary of State

The snares and serious dissensionsabout social economy which for sometime have been disturbing the spirit ofpeace are now every day arousing sucha class spirit that even prudent men havebecome anxious

This discord originated in errors ofthought and action occasioning sharpconflicts between the rich and the poorWe have already intervened on this ques ¬

tion showing the errors of socialism inour encyclical of December 28 1878And as the errors kept growing we foundit necessary to intervene once more withanother encyclical dated May 15 1891

These encyclicals producedabundantfruit as appears not only from the checkput to these dissensions but also by theimpulse given to institutions for the ben ¬

efit of the working classesThis movement for the masses had not

a proper name Some called it ChristianSocialism or the Peoples Christian move ¬

ment and its apostles took the nameSocialists others called it Christian De¬

mocracy to offset the term Social Democ-racy

¬

used by the Socialists-If the term Christian Socialists was not

considered ambiguous and dangerous byVmantlieterm ChrLstianDethocracyAts

consideredsucti because they feared thatSit would become a source of a political

revolution and for this reason the Popehas deemed it opportune to decide thecontroversy The following is the text ofthe most important passage of the en ¬

cyclicalWhat does social democracy mean

What Christian democracy means therecan be no doubt But social democracyis so freely and recklessly interpretedthat many come to the dangerous opinionthat as there is nothing beyond bodilyhealth and riches human happiness con-

sists¬

in seeking and enjoying thesehencethey would attribute all authorityto the people level away all civic disUnctions and establish an equality of

fortuneHenceall right of property must be

done away with and all that individualspossess must be regarded as commou

propertyButChristian democracy as taught

by Christianity based as it is on the prin ¬

ciple of Divine faith and studying theadvantages of all seeks to perfect humansouls for everlasting joys and thereforesolemnly insists on the right of acquiringand possessing and maintaining a properdistinction of degrees in every well con ¬

stituted society and of impressing uponhuman society the stamp and characterwhich God has given to it

The Pope adds that Christian democ ¬

racy should not mix in politics but de ¬

vote itself wholly to deeds of Christianbenevolence toward the people

Christian democracy the Pope saysshould not create class hatred nor rebelagainst the prevailing laws and institu ¬

tions so as to bring the name of Christiandemocracy into suspicion Then he con ¬

tinuesI mentioned the duties of virtueand religion though some whose opinionprevails with the masses think the socialquestion to be purely an economic onewhen on the contrary it is most surelyabove all others 1 moral and religiousone and therefore dependent on themoral law and the tribunal of religion

The tendency of Catholics to workfor the masses is all the snore pralsworthybecause it is manifested in the samesphere in which steadily and successfullyunder the benign influence of the churchthe zealous enterprise of charity strivesto accommodate itself to the times

The law of charity reinforcing thelaw of justice sees to it that each one getshis own and that nooneiis cut off fromhis right Let it be clear therefore that thezeal of Catholics for relieving and elevat ¬

ing the people is in strict accordance withthe spirit of the church and with herexamplerrWhat means may be adopted for thisChristian movement will not matter so

J much if the principle laid down by us be-

t observed But what matters most of allin an affair of such vast importance isthat Catholics should act with one mindadwiiiaBdwith one effort and what isquite ae important is that their ctkm> Kwld Multiply Itself by every huinanMid worldly r K>urce and go on liocr Miag pd expending

tbOM especially are eihorted touuVP

part in this movement whose stationmeans mental and moral endowmentsgive them some influence in the consmonwealtb If these be wanting scarceanything can be done that will avail foradvancing the condition of the peoplewhile on the other hand this advance-ment

¬

is all the more sure and speedywhen a number of leading citizens com-

bine¬

together for itWe would have them consider that

they are not free to mind or to neglectthe lot of the poor but that they arebound to this by their very duty that noman dwells in a community for his ownbenefit simply but for the good of alisothat what some can not contribute tothe common weal others who can shouldcontribute abundantly and the extent ofthe obligation in this matter is to bemeasured by the abundance of their pos-
