Catholic Church's Political Influence Over Its Members Asked of Editor By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International How much political influ ence does the Catholic Church exercise over its members? That question will come up in a great many private con versations during the next few months. It lies at the heart of the religious issue that has been raised in con nection with Sen. John F. Kennedy's bid for the Demo cratic presidential nomination, Since the discussion is in evitable, many thoughtful Catholics as well as non- Catholics believe it should be brought into the open now, with the facts laid on the table as objectively and fairly as possible. The distinguished Catholic editor John Cogley points out in Commonwealth magazine that the facts can be obscured by two kinds of extremism. One is that of the religious bigot who depicts all Cath olics as puppets on strings pulled by the Vatican. The other is that of well- meaning people who are "so imbued with the spirit of good will and tolerance" that they deny any difference between Protestant and Catholic atti tudes toward the authority of the church. Cites 'Important' Difference There is a difference, says Cogley, and it is an "impor tant" one: "Unlike the Protestant, the Catholic believes that the church is a visible body, hier archically organized, which speaks with God-given author ity on questions of faith and morals." In other words, a Catholic, if he is true to his faith, re aT6s his sh'trfch as a divine ly established institu t i o n which has been endowed with infallible teaching authority in certain realms. A Protes tant may subject any teaching of his church to the test of private conscience, accepting or rejecting it as he sees fit. But a Catholic who asserted such a broad right would be guilty of very grave sin in the eyes of his church. Cogley notes, however, that the areas in which the Cath olic Church speaks to its mem bers with infallible authority are "very clearly defined." They are the areas of "faith and morals." Disagree On Application In applying the church's basic moral teachings to spe cific problems, Catholics can and often do disagree. Even when high prelates of the church have expressed force ful opinions on political is sues, a Catholic office holder may continue to hold opposite views. This was demonstrated recently when the Catholic premier of Italy publicly took issue with Pope John XXIII, on the need for limitations on press freedom. "What all this comes down to is that a Catholic, while bound in principle to obey the moral teachings cf his church, is free in practice to exercise a considerable degree of pri vate judgment in deciding which moral teachings are ap Musical Tableau Planned Sunday Central Point-'The Langu age of the Cross," a musical tableau, will be presented Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Central Point, Church of Christ, Third and Oak sts. For the event the platform will be arranged as a garden scene with a lighted cross in the center. The high school choir will sing "The Old Bugged Cross" as the junior girls take their place on the stage. Dennis Chriss will sing "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross." The public is invited to attend. For the 10:45 a.m. Sunday service Mr. Jean M. Shelley, minister will speak on "The Living Church." Mr. and Mrs Shelley will attend the Con ference on Evangelism m ban Jose, Calif., next week. The annual conference is attended by approximately 1,500 per sons. Ministers to Attend Tuesday Breakfast Members of the Medford Ministerial association will at tend a complimentary break fast Tuesday at the YMCA at 8 a.m. for their regular monthly meeting. Immediately following the meal a discussion on how the YMCA can effectively serve Medford churches will be held. Also to 'be discussed will be the scouting program and its relation to the churches. The meeting will last ap proximately two hours it was reported. plicable, and exactly how they apply, to specific public prob lems. Or, as Cogley puts it, "the i n d i v i dual Catholic's con science is formed by the teach ings of his church" but his decisions on "concrete prob lems" are "not easily predict able." It is pertinent in this con nection to observe that indi vidual Catholics may vary widely in their responsiveness to guidance by church author ities. Some - for example, members of religious orders -readily accept a very high degree of ecclesiastical dis cipline over their attitudes and actions. At the other ex 1957 Award ui Merit Winner School of Missions To Start Sunday The annual School of Mis sions at First Methodist church will begin Sunday at 5:30 p.m. The adults will make a study of the book "The Way in Africa" by George Way- land Carpenter under the leadership of Mrs. Louise Davis.

Kennedy Expresses View The Catholic Church has no monopoly on this phenome non. It exists in every de nomination. There are, for example, Quakers who ar dently uphold their fellow ship's traditional pacificism. And there are Quakers like Vice President Richard M. Nixon who do not subscribe to pacificism at all.

So stated Joseph Lingen Wood, Vancouver, B.C., in a public lecture on Christian Science last evening at the Medford High school audi torium. Mr. Wood, a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, - said that the basis of all human troubles is ignorance, ignorance of God's power, presence and love. "It is seeking which unfolds the realization that one of the main points emphasized in the Bible is the supreme importance of learning to know God, to gain a spiritual understanding of Him. The speaker challenged ma terial theories that present God as unknowable or as responsible for suffering and disaster. Speaking of Christ Jesus' promise of life more abun dant, the lecturer pointed out that the Master taught that freedom and abundance would be gained by loving God with all the heart, mind, soul, and strength-and loving one's neighbor as one s self. Christian Science teaches, he concluded, "that the way to gain the consciousness of God's ever-presence is. this: we must follow the teachings and example of Christ Jesus; we must purify, spiritualize our thinking."
