VOW OF POVERTY NO EXCUSE FOR
PAYING UNJUST WAGES, SAYS JESUIT
PEORIA, ILL. (NC)—Religious institutions sometimes use
their communities’ vows of poverty as an excuse to pay employees
ents and all who carry responsi
bility for a Catholic student at
tending such an institution.
“Attendance at non-Catholic in
stitutions of learning can easily
constitute a threat to faith,’’ said
; Bishop Rehring. “No one can ex
pose himself, or allow one depend
ent upon him to be exposed, to
such danger unless he has valid
reason for doing so and takes ade
quate precautions.”

less than a living wage, a Jesuit
priest said at a diocesan hospital
meeting here.
Father James O’Connor,\S.J., of
the Jesuit House of Theological
Studies in West Baden Springs,
Ind., told the Diocesan Conferences
of Catholic Hospitals, “It has
often been said — not always jok
ingly — that Religious take the
vow of poverty, but others have to
practice it.”
He cited portions of aanon law
and several social encyclicals to
make his point that the obligation
to pay a just wage is one of strict
justice and not an obligation aris
ing from charity or sdme other
motive. He maintained this was
just as true even though a religi
ous community was the employer.
“It is simply a fact that there are
some Religious . . . who are guilty
of, or seriously consider yielding to
the temptation of having their em
ployees accept a wage lower than
the honest and just wage legislated
for in the Code of Canon Law,”
Father O’Connor said.
