ing concessions to communist de-
mands. Genuine messages from
Rome have been intercepted.
DOM PAULINUS, who is titu-
lar prior of Our Lady of Joy Mon-
astery on Lantao Island near
Hong Kong, said practically all of
the Chinese Bishops are loyal to
ments to convince the Bishops
neth, Larry and Christa Ruth of Rockne and their two married that Rome has ordered far-reach-
How often have we heard some-
one make a remark and then look
around for something to rap on,
chuckling a bit sheepishly. “Guess
I’d bettter knock on wood!”
Maybe we’ve even done it our-
selves. I have. Of course, when I
became a Catholic and took in-
structions in the faith I learned
that such practices were supersti-
tious, attributing to inanimate ob-
jects power reserved only to God -
and that it was disedifying for one
who professes to believe in God’s
all-powerful Providence to make
a show of knocking on wood to
ward off evil, even jokingly.
There is an angle behind this
ancient superstition, however, that
it wouldn’t hurt us to think about.
Theologians say the devil can-
not read our thoughts. He can
hear us and watch us make pretty
shrewd guesses as to what we are
thinking. I presume he can also
read in any language, so whatever
we write is exposed to his scrut-
iny. But he cannot know what
goes on in our minds. And this
is important.
St. Ignatius of Loyola analyzes
Satan’s tactics in his Spiritual Ex-
ercises thus: “The enemy acts like
a commanding general who wants
to capture a citadel. He pitches
his camp before the citadel, re-
connoiters carefully until he finds
its weakest side. Here he launches
his attack and easily takes the
citadel by storm. In like manner,
the enemy of our human nature
prowls around and explores on
all sides our virtues, where he
finds us weakest, there he launch-
es his attack and tries to take us
by storm.”
His strategy is to seduce us by
subtle suggestions, firing our im-
agination and arousing our pas-
sions, “using sophistries, fallacies,
and false reasonings” as he strives
to lure the soul into his own sec-
ret snares and evil intentions.
The point that occured to me
was that we should be more care-
ful not to hand him ammunition
to use against us. Granting that
the old tempter knows human
nature and understands human
hearts better than we know our-
selves, there are still some things
we just should never express out
loud.
To illustrate: The devil can make
suggestions designed to arouse in
us avarice or envy, for instance.
“Look at that beautiful home so-
and-so has,” he points out slyly.
“See all the room — and that love-
ly new furniture, so attractive and
easy to keep clean. Why should she
rate all that, while you have so
much less? Aren’t you just as
good as she is?” And so on.
Now we can push such imagin-
ings resolutely out of our minds
and replace them with “positive
thinking,” as Dr. Norman Vincent
Peale is always advising his read-
ers to do. (One of the best ex-
amples of “positive thinking” I
can suggest is the deliberate and
thoughtful use of various spiritual
ejaculations, such as “Jesus, meek
and humble of heart, make my
heart like thine!” or “Mary Im-
maculate, Refuge of Sinners, pray
for us!”)
On the other hand, if we express
our envy aloud we not only give
it weight and concreteness in our
own consciousness; we also let
the enemy know his wiles are
bearing fruit. Emboldened, he will
redouble his efforts to stir up dis-
satisfaction with what we have
and bitterness toward those who
have more.
The same principles apply to
other temptations - to impurity,
vanity, pride, despair, anger, and
the like.
People who talk a great deal are
often indiscreet. They reveal
things to their listeners and to
the devil that would be better
locked in the secret recesses of
their minds - or expressed only in
the confessional.
The practice of “knocking on
wood” was intended to scare away
evil spirits who might be listen-
ing, and thus ward off the trouble
they might stir up. But recalling
our diabolical eavesdroppers after
imprudent things have been said
is too late.
There are some things we should
keep locked forever away from
prying eyes. Why unlatch the door
of our hearts and invite Satin in?

Vatican City — (NC) — The
reported release of Bishops and
priests from jail by Communists
in Czechoslovakia does not mean
the Churci- is no longer persecuted
there, L’Osservatore Romano said
here.
The Vatican City daily was com-
menting on the reported libera-
tion of 29,000 political prisoners in
Red-ruled Czechoslovakia, includ-
ing some Bishops, priests and reli-
gious.
AMONG THOSE released, ac-
cording to reports, are Bishop Josef
Hlouch of Budejovice, Bishop
Stepan Trochta of Litomerice, Bish-
op Peter Gojdie of Presov, Auxili-
ary Bishop Stanislav Zela of
Olomouc, Auxiliary Bishop Stefan
Barnas of Spis and Auxiliary Bish-
op Vasil Hopko of Presov.
“Nothing is said of Archbishop
(Josef) Beran of Prague, who has
been long kept from his diocese be-
cause of his firmness,” L’Osserva-
tore said.
THE PAPER noted that the re-
ports of an anmesty have so far
come from unofficial sources. At
the same time, it pointed out, “as
in the past the Bishops liberated
from jail are forbidden to return to
their dioceses to resume govern-
ment of them and they may not
exercise their functions as ecclesi-
astics or as priests.”
