Abstract
Two paragraphs of Schema XIII, on the Church and the Modern World, have been briefly debated by the Vatican Council and will be considered when it reconvenes. They bring to mind the following parable: Once there was a parent whose son was a chronic juvenile delinquent. Early on the boy displayed spectacular anti-social tendencies and everyone urged that the professional advice of psychiatrists be solicited and followed. But for nineteen years the parent avoided a showdown, only occasionally facing the real problem. Rather, his concern took the form of deploring and attempting to deal only with the manifestations of bis son's underlying mental illness. Finally, in despair, the father took the son to the first psychiatrist who was available for a half-hour interview.
