Some people of the United States fear that the Pope will interfere with the decisions of a Catholic president concerning world problems, using his authority as head of the Catholic Church to control the president's actions.    However, several facts prove these fears false. Our Canadian neighbors have had three Catholic prime ministers within one century who were free of any political influence from the Vatican.    One of the doctrines most misunderstood by many non - Catholics and even some Catholics themselves is the Pope's infallibility. The Pope when speaking "ex cathedra" has the power of infallibility only under certain conditions. He must: (1) treat of matter involving faith or morals;

(2) speak in his official capacity; (3) show clearly that he intends to give a final, definite, irrevocable decision on the point of issue; and (4) make it obvious that he intends to bind all members of the Church to what he teaches. Then and only then is he infallible in his teaching.    Under these conditions anyone can see that he couldn't possibly use his power as head of the Catholic Church to order certain actions on world problems through the president. The Catholic president could completely ignore the Pope's words unless the Pope actually defines his words or actions as infallible.    There are so many people acting through committees and pamphlets and the Church pulpit itself who are trying to get the public to recognize and understand this doctrine, that the states are being flooded with Catholic theology. This in itself is very valuable to the Church.    One thing is for certain even if Kennedy isn't elected — American people are surely being educated in the Catholic faith.

Spotlight Basil, Theresa for SAH Participation    This month The Prelude features two busy St. Anthony students who do most of their •work "behind the scenes."    A ready smile and friendly manner are characteristic of Sophomore Basil Taube 116. A person of action, he quietly but firmly' expresses his ideas.    Explaining his keen interest in the Sodality, Basil replied, "I felt I should do something worthwhile. It not only encourages me to say the rosary everyday but gives me extra indulgences."    He wishes that more boys would realize that the Sodality is not just for girls and take a sharper interest in it. "It's their responsibility," he declares.    The dark-haired sophomore sparked his homeroom team to basketball division championship. Bowling occupies a large part of his spare time.    His father's occupation as a printer has inspired Basil to follow the field of journalism in which he has begun as a sports reporter on the school paper.

THERESA AUDIA and Basil Taube ponder a new job which will take up their time.

THERESA AUDIA and Basil Taube ponder a new job which will take up their time.
   Junior Theresa Audia 214, a familiar figure around SAH for the past three years, is studying chemistry, geometry and Latin IV as a preparation for career in the field of medicine.
   She has not yet narrowed her choice to one specialized subject. Perhaps her decision will be influenced by her brother who is in his third year of chiropractic study. Unlike many students, Theresa has no favorite subjects. She "likes them all."
   Active in school functions, she belongs to the Future Nurses, is on the Junior Council, and was elected vice-president of the library aides.
   Musically inclined, the Audia family could form a small combo with Theresa playing the Hawaiian guitar, her brother the accordian, and her sister the piano.
