matter how “sophisticated” or “inno-
cent” he or she may appear. For the
more informed youth this book will
correct misconceptions and erroneous
attitudes. For the “wide-eyed” it may
well provide a priceless safeguard
against tragedy. Needless to say, a
glance at any newspaper will prove
at once the dreadful price that inno-
cence sometimes pays for ignorance.
As His Eminence, Francis Cardinal
Spellman, Archbishop of New York,
says in his Foreword to Father Kelly’s
book: “The Catholic Youth's Guide of-
fers unmarried Catholics many prac-
tical directives for dealing with some
of the critical problems facing Ameri-
can youth. They will receive helpful
counsel on making the proper choice
of a state in life, and time-tested guid-
ance on the best means of preparing
themselves for that vocation. Parents
of adolescents will find this book of
assistance to them in fulfilling their
own responsibilities as the primary
educators of their children.”
cese’s Family Life Bureau, has drawn
upon his wide experience as educator,
priest and counselor, to bring to
youngsters from twelve to twenty all
the facts they need to know about life
and love.

Answers Hundreds of Questions
From the start of adolescence
through the later teen years, Father
Kelly’s new book explains in detail
what “growing up” really means—the
physical changes that occur in boys
and girls—the many emotional prob-
lems that arise—the increasing moral
dangers. Here he answers hundreds of
questions that disturb young people —
questions they hesitate to ask even
their parents—questions their parents
are often embarrassed to answer.
With frank explanations, Father
Kelly clears up mistaken notions
about sex. He points out the pitfalls
inherent in certain friendships, the
importance of morality in dating and
courtship. He explains the true mean-
ing of Holy Matrimony. He shows how
to maintain a proper balance between
spiritual and material values.
But this book is not a sermon. Rath-
er, it is a sympathetic and straight-
forward approach to the vital problems
that face all young people from the
age of puberty to the contemplation
of marriage. Father Kelly minces no
words. His book discusses sexual prob-
lems, menstruation, marital relations
— warns against venereal diseases,
birth control, homosexuality. In forth-
right terms he tells teen-agers how to
be safe on a date — what situations to
