Catholic, Arab Present Views • • • (Continued from banc l) “Today, the concept rests upon the person to whom one In mar ried, with considerably loss em phasis ori the solicit ity of the marriage slate." Take* ‘Three’ for Marriage “Since success of marriage is more difficult to achieve today, the couple entering into the bond should recognize that ‘It taken three.’ Cod makes possible the union of two into one, the ulti tnaie purpose of marriage, l*ev. Spear continued. “The couple must consider it a privilege to bo entrusted with the Jot) of bringing forth children arid raining them." In his potnl-by-polnt discussion based on the questions digpussed In the lecture given by Jaihes I ’etci ui Sunday, Hev. Spear dealt with the problem of youth in regard to today's low stand ards of literature. He explained why the Roman Catholic Church takes it uj»on Itself the it spotislbility of < ensor lng the reading and entertain ment of its members, giving the Church’s stand that it is the ('hurch’a iluty to watch after the moral development of youth. Natural Ijiwh Ignored "Youth,” he said, "are made to mv that wx without love, the home, and family has no mean ing. no beauty. If the natural Iuwb are Ignored und their re mits not considered, they cannot endow the individual with the rc wardH that were intended," Spear continued. Kev. Spear’s feeling that a woman's contribution to marriage i-i based on her ability to respond to tenderness and intellectual love was expressed in his belief that she was created to Vs- more than a physical creation. On inter-faith marriage. Rev. Spear stated that “though the Church recognizes them, it re alizes that serious conflicts often arise. Thus the Church does not encourage it." Children Instructed "In the case of a mixed mar riage. the children are required to be Instructed in the Catholic faith because of the responsi bility of the parent to pass on to his children those beliefs he be lieves to he true.” Rev. Spear also emphasized thill marriage must be seriously considered, problems anticipated, and the partners properly pre pared to face those problems in order to insure the success of the relationship. College Athletics (Continued front pot/e two) happens to he a star halfback. What then is the function of big-time inter-collegiate ath letics? Perhaps it is to train those players who end up on genuinely professional athletic teams. If this is their function, then the athletic department should be raised to the status of a professional school. Rut this is not likely to be accept able to many university ad ministrators. , Athletics arc obviously not set up to entertain or enlighten university students (Portland games are a good local example). It's hard to see how nearly-pro fcssional athletics benefit uni versities when one views the contradictious between their goals and those of athletics. Aside from the obvious an swer of the athletic department, the only real beneficiary is the anonymous sports fan who sits in the bleachers or in front of liis television set and is enter tained by the action. Such entertainment of the general public on the cultural level of “I Love Lucy" or pro fessional wrestling seems hard ly the proper function of any part of a good university. Further hi liefs of the Islam re ligion were given by Medhi, stressing the de-emphasis of po lygamy. "The Moslems are almost unanl-1 mously monogamous because of the stipulation that ‘a man may marry four women provided hr is just and can love them all equally. This, hr satrt, is diffi cult to do because the belief pre vails that* no man is Just. Today, polygamy is forbidden under civil ’ law in many of the Arab states.” j Arab Custom Given "The custom.” he explained, "in Arabia is such that the mother finds the son a wife. However, this doesn't occur today in the ! large cities among the educated people.” Medhi feels that the custom ! will disappear when the country becomes wealthy. "Marriage must be based on the mutual respect of the indi-1 vldusl as a life-long partner. Each member should Ire Inde pendent yet together.” he added. The modern feeling is that the two persons, free and equal, must j be willing and aware of the re- j sponsibilitlea in order to enter into a healthy relationship.” A question-and-answer period followed the talks, in which it was pointed out that there 1s little controversy among the Mos lems as to Inter-faith marriages. They are permitted, in the belief ‘ that all who believe In God are ; saved, he said. The children are left to choose their beliefs after being exposed to all faiths.
