the reponse to the Eighth An nual Bishop's Charity Ball to ,be held Wednesday night, Jan. 9, at the Lincoln Park Million Dollar Ballroom has been most gratifying. . "The tremendous interest in ,this event is due to two reasons", Mr. Reilly said." First of all, the people in the area of the Fall River Diocese are ever conscious of the need of the 'underprive leged and are ever reacfy to spend themselves, for God's . special little ones".
Secondly, the Diocesan pre sident said that "the past seven. Charity 'Balls confirm the claim. that this social event is ,the leading aUair of"the year".. From all sections of. the Dio cese, the reports indicate that the 1963 Ball will surpass the other seven. . Mrs. Gilbert Noonan, presi ,dent of, the Diocesan Council o~ Catholic Women, told the ANCHOR today that "once a couple attends, you are assured of tneir coming every year, be cause their future absence would , leave a void in their life." "Age, is no barri~r to ~n' en joyable . ~vening," -... the Diocesan president of the NCCW added
"because' all can rest·' assured that Harry Marshard's music will appeal to individuals. of every era." Every year, many say that ·the Ball has reached its climax and could not grow or improve. Yet, as the couples leave the Lincoln Park Million Dollar' Ballroom, they admit the night. was out standing. Reports from the presidents of the five districts of the DCCW indicate more people' are' in terested. this year than ever be fore: ' The Vincentians of the' Dio cese are affirmIng the claims of the DCCW.: '

Prelate Suggests Closer Ties Between Bishops and School Heads LOS ANGELES (NC)-James Francis Cardinal McIntyre has called for a more closely inte grated system of Catholic edu cation on ,the national level. The Archbishop of Los An geles addressed 1,000 educators at the annual convention here of the Secondary Section, South west Unit, National Catholic Ed ucational Association. The Cardinal stated that the' extraordinary qvalities of the superintendents of Cat h 01 i c schools have not been assimi lated, coordinated' and adminis tered to the fullness of their potential. The future of Catholie educa tion is a matter of deep concern, the Cardinal said, citing changes which have occurred in recent years regardibg content, admin istration and accreditation of education, as well as the in creasingly open opposition of the National Education Associ ation ·to non-public schools. Potential of Example In view of the fact that non pUbiic'schools carry the burden of educating 15 per cent of the country's school population, Car dinal McIntyre said, "we should

pause to consider and ask if we have exercised and are exer cising the full potential of our example and influence." Any failure in this reg/ilrd, he said, is due to the lack of co ordination between the body of the Catholic superinendents and the body of the bishops. ~ "The organization and func tion of the Catholic superinten..: dents should be more unified, and they should constitute it far more frequent and a closer guide to the body of' bishops in· the United States as they formulate and execute their plans and program," the Cardinal said. General Policy This pattern -, of integration between bishops and superinten dents, according to the Cardinal, should be developed not only in regard to curricular and ad ministrative matters on ·the local level, but especially in re gard to the formulation· of gen eral Catholic educatIonal policy for the whole nation. Cardinal McIntyre, expressed the hope that organization pro cedures would be developed to bring about a greater unification of policy among dioceses and to aehieve a . closeI;' coalitionbe-' tween the implementation of that policy. in edueational prac:i. tice and the policies of the biBb.. ops.
which threatens it, Richard C~ dinal Cushing told 8,000 perSOM at the annual Policemen's Ball in Boston Garden. "Crime marches on, due • disre~:pect for law and a general d~cline of morality," the Arch bIShop of Boston said. He cited a growing attitude of "self.,indulgence and pleasure seeking before duty" as a major cause of crime. The crime rate will continue to grow until "good people arise and recognize their responsibilities," 'the Ca» dinal predicted. "The corruption of a natioa generally begins with a neglect of the principles on which it watl founded," lie said. "The rebirtia of a nation begins with the resto ration, of those principles. ''Urltil we restore the sublime principles on which our. country was founded, we will be dealing only .with - the symptoms and statistics of crime. Only whea we u.ke that big step will we . get at the disease," he said. Pollce work alone cannot solve the problem of crime the Cardinal said.

Showmen Salute ICircus Priest l
BOSTON (NC)-Hundreds of members of the entertainment world paid tribute here to. Bos. ton's "Circus Priest" at a meet ing of the New England Show men's Association. Father Edward S. Sullivan, na tional chaplain of the Circus Fans' Association of . America and administrator of All Saints' church, Boston, was presented a gold membership card entitling him to lifetime membership in the New EngIand organization: He was cited as an "ambassador of good will" for circuses. Father Sullivan's association with the circus goes back to his seminary days when he enjoyed ~'watering the elephants." Dur ing that period he was offered a job as a wild animal trainer by a circus owner but he declined the job when the call of the priesthood proved stronger. ' Love Never Dims
His love for the circus never
dimmed, however, and after his
ordination he spent many vaca

INDEPENDENCE (NC)-The State of Iowa has no power to close two schools operated by members of the Amish sect but that the Amish must obtain ac credited teachers for the schools or send their children to schools which have them. "The state has no power to close a private school," District Judge Peter Van Metre has ruled. "Th'e only power the state has is to enforce. the attendance laws by proper action against parents of the individuals in volved," he said in his judicial opinion. The case centers on two pri vate schools operated by the Amish in northern Buchanan County, IOWa. County officials had sought a temporary injunc tion to close the schools because they lacked certified teachers. The effect of Judge Van Metre's ruling is to leave the schools open while requiring them to obtain accedited tefl"h ers or face the loss of thei.r stu dents. County officials said they
Sudan Says Mission Work Is 'Finished SHANAGOLDEN (NC) - One of the more than 30 missionaries who have been expelled from the Sudan said here in Ireland that Sudanese officials told him only that he was ordered out of that African nation because he had finished his work. He is Father Thomas Brodeur of the Mill Hill Fathers, now on leave here ·in his hometown. He reported another Irish member of the Mill Hill Fathers ousted from the Sudan, Father Edward ~loane of Belfast, has gone to start a new mission in Kenya among a remote African tribe., Before his expulsion, Father Sioane had been arrested on the ground that his preaching in church illegally made the church a "teaching establishment." The magistrate who heard the case dismissed the charge.

would ask public school district authorities to take action to see to it that the children in the Amish schools are educated by certified teachers. Iowa state law provides that children must be in attendance in a school under a certified teacher. A college degree is nec essary for such certification. A spokesman for the A~ish contended that the religious lib erty guarantees of the U.S. Con stitution gave them the right to operate their schools as they wish. He said they believe the morals of their children had de clined previously w hen the schools had non-Amish teachers; that certified teachers a're too expensive and that the Amish consider an eight grade educa tion sufficient for their simple life.

By Rt. Rev. Msgr.· John S. Kennedy The official Protestant observers at the first session of Vatican Council II expressed gratified surprise at many of the things which came to their attention while present at the assemblage of bishops in St. Peter's. Their notion of the workings 'of the statistics has'to be exposed. Church had been quite dif The author makes clear the ferent from the reality. mischief and misinformation reThese, remember, were well . sulting from both. He explains informed people, students, who were n<>t making their first ac quaintance with the Ohurch. If· even they had

but depends for his knowfedge of it on mere casual impressions or cliches .and cannot critically evaluate calumnies against the Church? Such a person, surely, will have a wrong idea, and often a grotesquely wrong idea, of Catholicism, and particularly of the Catholic viewpoint on mat ters in dispute.' It is precisely for the man or woman of this type that Father R<>bert W. Gleason has brought into being In the Eyes of Others (Macmillan. $3.95), a collection of essays by Jesuit Fathers. He says in his introduction that he. and his colleagues "have under taken to examine various aspects of the public image that has been presented in the past and is still being held up today by the Roman Catholic Church." "They hope;' he declares, "to clarify certain pr:oblems, correct certain distortions, remove cer tain misunderstandings a nd I thereby open the· way for more fruitful contact and deeper. charity among Pl'otestants, Cath olics, and Jews in the pluralistic setting of twentieth century America." Roots of Caricature The first of the essays, contri buted by.Father Vincent C. Hop kins, S.J., attempts to trace to its roots the invidious caricature of Catholicism which has pre vailed in this country for gener:' ations .and which accounts for persistent anti - Catholic prej
udice. There is nothing new in his explanation, but it has the virtue of conciseness and reason . able completeness. Father Gustave Weigel dis cusses "The Catholic Church and Politics." .His is a meaty chapter, stripped of ornament or super fluity marching cogently from point'to point, and refres.bihgly candid. Thus he considers the several possibl~ relationships, in theory and in practice, between Church and State, est a b 1 ish e s the Church's respect for the autho rity of the State, and lists prin ciples upon which a right rela tionship in the American con text must be worked out and maintained. . Diplomatic Recognition Notable is Father Weigel's de_ claration that whether or not our government has diplomatic relations with the Vatican must be determined by the govern ment on the basis of secular good. "The diplomatic recognition of the Vatican is not a Catho lic dogma, much less a Catholic need," he says, adding, "Given the feelings of our nation as a whole, with its strong hostility against any relationship with the Vatican State, it would be an unwise ruler who would try to establish such relations." . "Catholics and Corruption" is the topic of Fath~r Joseph P. Fitzpatrick, and it includes juvenile delinquency, crime, .and corruption in politics and busi ness. Here again stereotypes have to be countered, and the manipulation or misreadin~ Qf
very well the elements in the history and make-up of our society which account in large part for the incidence of corrup
tion in its many forms and the identity of those involved. He
sees in present conditions and
tendencies powerful incentives to dishonesty, and lays down a
code to meet the situati6n.
Private Judgement
One of the most common mis conceptions' as to the Church
and Catholics is that private
judgment is denied the latter by the former. That this is' quite untrue is proved by Father W. Norris Clarke" who a r g u e s, rather, tluit private judgment is required of the Catholic by the Church. What the Church asks is "not a surrendering or adbication. of reason, .of personal judgment, but precisely its wisest exercise." And he goes on to demonstrate this, making telling use of an alogy and illustrating his con tention in a most convincing and persuasive way. The celebrated insistence on "blind obedience" is also well explained. "Vener able as the expression is," he writes, "it must be taken .only as a metaphor - and a risky one at that, unless carefully ex plained." Intelligence, judgment, and personal responsibility are not overridden by it. Study of Scriptures One of the most interesting chapters is contributed by the editor, Father Gleason. It has to do with the study of the ScripturEts. On the one hand, there are' those who m a i n t a i ned that genuine Scriptural scholarship, making use of contemporary discoveries and critical methods, is forbidden to the Catholic. On the other hand, there are those within the Church who feel strongly that Catholic Scripture scholars have already gone too far al).d have all but done away with the traditional teaching of the ·Church.
Father Gleason shows, in a very informative and dispas sionate manner, that both are wrong. He reviews the develop ments in Protestant scholarship . in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and those in Catholic scholarship. Church and Censorship Father Joseph S. Duhamel treats "The Catholic Church and Birth Cantrol," and this is one -'of the amplest,' best integmted, most conclusive discourses on the subject that I have seen. It does not inveigh; it enlightens; and the reasonableness of the Church's stand is lucidly con veyed. "Man and Woman in the Church" is a delightfully origi nal exposition by Father Joseph Conceel, probably the most pro- . vocative and engrossing esSay. of the lot. In "The Catholic Church and Censorship," Father Harold C. Gardiner neatly summarizes what he set out at length in his book on the subject, the best by far in the field. Here, then, is always com petent, sometimes brilliant, dis cussion of urgent matters af fecting the image of the Church and the attitude of the n<>n Catholic toward the Church.

Bishop Cleto Loayza of. Potosi was one of' 140 bishops 'who came to the Holy Land in two pilgrimage groups before return ing home from the Second Vati can Council. The pilgrimages, the largest of their kind in his tory, were suggested by Melkite
Rite Bishop Kakim of Akka, the only Catholic Ordinary residing in Israel. The bishops came in two groups of 70 for four day pil grimages. They walked in pro cession, two by two, to many of the sites of Christ's ministry. Among the places they visited were Mount Tabor-the site of the Transfiguration-and Tiberia and Capernaum, which range to 650 below sea level.

said, "It is the only pilgrimage that I will be able to make to the Holy Land,. and it is only thanks to the Council that I could make it." Also on pilgrimage were bishops from such countries as Brazil, Chile, India, Italy, South Korea, South Vietnam and Togo. Among them were Religious Bishops, including Benedictines, Dominicans and Franciscans. Most were poor, and the 'little grip each carried was his only luggage. Some wore pectoral crosses of wood. Their lodging places were monastery cells. While in Jerusalem, the bishops climbed Mount Zion to take part in Mass at Dormition Abbey, which tradition holds to be the site of the end of the earthly life of the Blessed V','gin Mary. The n visiting King David's tomb 'nearby, they chanted a psalm and recited the Psalmist's ancient prayer !lor "the' peace of Jerusalem."

Bishop Whealon, after pl,1rtici pating in the first session of the Second Vatican Council, said a great deal of work must be done by the bishops before they re conven.e. He pointed out that the Coun cil commissions will be evalu ating proposed amendments te the draft treatises already pre sented to the Council Fathers. In addition, they will be re vising other drafts to put them in pastoral language. Revisions will be sent to the bishops so that final proposals will match their thinking as closely as p0s sible. Key Event As a result, Bishop Whealoa said ~...hen the Council recon venes, "productive work will come with a rush." He said that a key event in establishing the Council's pas toral nature was the debate about a treatise on the sources of revelation. It was heavily criticized, he said, because it lacked pastoral emphasis, .was too negative and restated old theological view points. After the debate, Hw Holiness Pope John gave it to a special commission for re

Anglican Bishops Oppose Onta rio Catholic Request
Studies Possible M~dical Society AiJ to Catholic
TORONTO (NC) - The 13 Anglican bishops of the Province of Ohtario have op posed any moves to extend
•
the Catholic separate school system beyond the elementary level and to grant ~ share of corporation taxes to the Catho lic schools. The Anglican prelates' brief, addressed to Premier John Rob arts and the Ontario Legislature, replied to a brief filed \ earlier by the Catholic bishops of On tario, which asked certain re dress from existing conditions. The Anglican bishops said if the request of the Catholic pre lates to extend the separate school system to the high school level and to share in corporation taxes were granted it "would cause a violent disruption of the public and secondary school system and do .a definite dis Rrvice to the community as a ' whole." Equal Opportunity "The Anglican Church appre elates fully the o::ase adv'anced for equality of opportunity in education, but would point out that such equality of opportun ity is already fully safeguarded Xl that every type of elemen tary and secondary education JS available to every' 'student in this province on the same basis," the Anglican brief said,· The brief said the Provincial Government at present is cO,n. eerned about inequalities in fi Dancial resources of the school boards on the elementary level and makes generous grants to alleviate this situation. "Ways and means might be. :Iound for a further extension of grants to all, commensurate with governmental responsibility in tis support and extension of an efficient public school system," 1be brief said. "This question of increased financial assistance to the school boards at the ele mentary level is a matter which merits sympathetic study by the government and action in harmony with public interest as • whole." Creation of Catholic separate IIecondary schools would do "violence to the principle of 1IIlity in education and would be an occasion of discord rather than the 'peace' for which the Roman Catholic brief pleads," tile brief said.

In' the Space Age
Maid of Orleans The first week of January is a week of anniversaries. One that can be overlooked quite easily is that of January 6-the 550th anniversary of the birth of Joan of ,Arc. Tne young French maiden-warrior and saint-has cap tured the imaginations of men of every age. Indeed, one of the great performances of the contemporary stage was surely that of Joan of Arc given by the Irish actress Siobb han McKenna in George Bernard Shaw's play of that name. The very simplicity of Joan's life almost belies the effect she had on history-and on sanctity.. And it once again points up the scriptural reminder on how God uses the simple things of the world to confound the wise. A cynic once remarked that it is good to make resolu tions on the first of the year, but it is wise to remember on the second that resolutions can be broken more easily than habits. Joan's habit of steadfastness in the service of God was a habit that even death could not break. Her resolution to serve God even in the face of the terrifying price of death by burning came from the heart of a simple soul, an un-· complicated farm girl who heard the voice of God and followed it. A complicated present-day world could do with such simple souls-with men and women who see God in all and themselves in God and make steadfastness in His service the rule of their lives. In God, all things are simple.

Lincoln's official issuance of the Emancipation Pro clamation came 100 years ago this New Year's Day-in the evening after the Presidential New Year's Day recep tion of 1863. The ramifications of that act are still being expounded to this very day. Its moral tones are still reverberating in the consciences of a nation. . If any lesson has beeri taught by that significant step in the history of the country it is this: while government may legislate moral right, people PlUst enforce it in day by day living. And for that to be done, their consciences must be formed rightly and, their good will must be stronger than custom and blind, unreasoning and unreasonable pre judice. . • The last century and especially the last decade have seen great strides toward realization in fact of the ideal of the Proclamation.

would adorn his uniform with the expressed gratitude of • nation. It is in that way that we must see the reception of the white garment in thE! ceremony of Baptism. Surely we must see further than the exaggerated "needs" of the "best" for one's child, This is not what the Chur,~h condones or. blesses with its own little ceremony. Nor is the Church particularly interested in the profane use of clothing. True, the' candidates Who had been baptized-beins then completely immersed Hl water-w~re provided with new clothing and it was -white.' But the important thing is why. Adam's Clothing The glorious simplicity of par adise shows us that man was Fadiantly clothed in the glory of God. All was orderly, peace ful, without disturbance. But once this glory had been· cast away, a man found himself for the first time naked. Thl~n being the lowliest of creatures, open to all conflict, disturbance, violence, he had to seek clothing. Once master of all creation, he had to seek the dead skin of other creatures to hid!;! and control himself. Hi:; clothing was a sign of what was inside - death. More and more it became only a conven ience and it lost its symbolie meaning. Clothing's Sign Bw: to truly understand the in. vestiture of Baptism we must again return to this symbolic meaning. The use of clothiDg to bring about warmth, coolness, comfort, etc. is not denied. B\di neith(~r is its meaning as illus trated in a uniform. The uniform does more -thatl provide comfort, it tells us something. The simple man· 111 known as a soldier, an officer,". representative of government, a clerg~rman, etc. The uniform manifests to ali the role this pe'Jlo. son must play in society. In the Church, the same thing is done. When the Bishop ele vates a deacon, a priest, or an other bishop, he gives him the· signs of his new office: a stole worn in a particular way, a dal matic/or chasuble, a ring, staff and mitre. Importance of Sign· True, "it if not the cowl that makes the monk." But the uni form--the monk's habit, the so},. dier's uniform, the nurse's cap- reveals something of the wearer: his ability, his knowledge, his consecration, etc. The priest'. vestments reveal what he has become through the Imposition of Hands.

Polish Prelate Scores Reds BERLIN (NC)-Stefan Cardl. nal Wyszynski has criticized Poland's communist government for not allowing more Polish bishops to attend the first session of the Ecumenical Council, ac cording to reports reaching here. The Primate of Poland spoke at a Mass in Warsaw's St, John's cathedral. Close to 5,000 persons, reports said, packed the church and overflowed into the snow filled street outside. The crowd inside was so dense that some persons fainted and had to be revived by snow passed in from outside, reports added. Cardinal Wyszynski also to,ok the government to task for al lowing the bishops who went to the Council only a very limited amount of money. "Each Polish bishop," he said, "was allowed to take only five dollars . . . with him, and that would not suffice even i'f we could live on seeds." He thanked Polish-Americans and Latin American churchmen whose contributions provided the Polish prelates with food and lodging.

Relics Are Company For Deserted Wife LIMA (NC)-"Should I bring along the heads of the dead?" asked the woman who had just arranged to have a Mass offered for her grandparents, Francisco and Mariana. It was a strange request, but Father Gerald 3tanley, Irish missionary working with the Columban Fathers here, took it in his stride. "Where are they?" he asked. appearing nonchalant. "Why, at home, of course." Further questioning revealed that the woman's husband had abandoned her. Her own people sent her the treasured relics of Francisco and Mariana - their skulls. The reason. "Your hus band has left you-keep these so you won't be alone in the house."

Father Paul Buehler, C.PP.S., of Fort Recovery, Ohio, gave absolution to a policeman who lay bleeding on the ground in front of the church after having been badly beaten by the mob. As the priest rushed to get the holy oils, the policeman was loaded on a truck and taken to the hospital. This two-mile-high Andean town has been the center of labor disturbances for several years, although the salaries paid the miners and the general liv~ ing conditions are _superior to most of the other mining centers in the country.

Baptize 2,150 In Hong Kong
BOSTON (NC)-Richard Cardinal Cushing has an nounced that he will build a large ecumenical center here
"
,
HONG KONG (NC) - High. light of Christmas season cere. monies here was the baptism of 2,150 converts to bring Hong Kong's Catholic population up to 200,000, an increase of about 9,000 since June. Gratitude for the steady growth in conversions was ex
pressed by Bishop Lawrence Bianchi, P.I.M.E., of Hong Kong, who returned here after the first session of the Ecumenical Coun cil. "At such probable time as the vernacular will be the language of the Mass, we may expect 'even mor~ J3bundant fruit pro duced through the tremendous work being done throughout the colony .by priests, ~eligious, and members of the Diocesan Coun. cil for the Lay Apostolate," the Bishop told the N.C.W.C. News Service in commenting on litur.
gical changes discussed at the Council.
for the Paulist Fathers. The Paulists, who are engaged in dialogue work in Boston, said the 'foundation will be named the Cardinal Cushing Institute· fur Religious Understanding. The Archbishop of Boston said
the institute will be the. first of its 'kind in the United States. It will be similiar to those already functioning in Europe, such as the Mohler Institute in Pader born, Germany, and the Istina in Paris. The purpose of the new in stitute - whose c(}nstruction cost will be about $250,000-wil! be to carry on theological studies and' discussions between Catho lic, Protestant and Jew ish cleIlgymen. Dialogue Sessions The ins tit ute, for which
ground will be broken toward the end of March, will honae a theological library, small chapell meeting rooms and auditorium and living quarters for resident and visiting clergymen. The Paulists have conducted several dialogue sessions here, most recently in' October when some 300 priests and ministers attended sessions on Christology, tradition anQ scripture, and the Church and New Testamen~
Reds in Ireland Use Press, TV DUBLIN (NC)....,. Communists are using the press, radio, tele. vision and literature to promote Marxism in Ireland, a priest educator said here. Father T. Butler, S.M., presi. dent of Catholic University School here, speaking at the an. nual dinner of the Catholic Uni.
versity School Union, said, "AU this is going on in Ireland and in Dublin and we must not be have like ostriches and cry: 'This could not happen in Ire land.'" Communism flourishes where there is ignorance of social prin. ciples, he said, urging that young men' leaving school be encour aged to study their religion and know as much about it as theY do about other matters. Some men who are promin'ent in this country in government, in the professions and in busi ness stopped studying their reli gion when they were 18 years' old, he said.
Lauds Non-Catholics' For Bus Support RIDGEFIELD (NC) - The pastor of this Connecticut town's only Catholic church has praised the spirit of fair play evidenced by many non-Catholics in a re cent referendum which approved tax-supported bus transporta tion for children attending the parish school. Msgr. JamesJ'. McLaughlin', in a statement -issued after the town's voters had given their ap proval to the bUs transportation, said: "We could ,not have dime so well were, it :not .for supPort coming from outside St. Mary's parish.

Declares Christ Ii Supreme Source Of Revelation
Divisive Issues He said these issues have di vided Catholics and Protestants with Protestants generally re garding the Bible as "the only source of God's truth" and Cath olics insisting on the need for the Bible to be interpreted and supplemented by the Church. Bishop Wright, in a sermon preached in St. Paul's cathedral, declared: "Christmas reminds us that behind the written word of Scripture and the spoken' word of Tradition there is one su preme and unique source of Rev elation to which all others must be subordinate as the condition of their own validity and effi cacy. That one uniquely perfect expression of God's truth is not the Bible, the written word of God set down by inspired men; neither is it anything else inde pendently of Christ. 'Living Word of God' "The supreme source of Chris tian Revelation is the living Word of God that was born at Bethlehem, the Eternal Word in which God Himself summed up all His own wisdom and which became incarnate by the power of the Holy Spirit and the obedi ence of the Virgin Mary." Bishop Wright declared that HChrist in H;is very person as the Son of God and in His supreme office as the Sole Priest of the New Law is ultimately the living answer to the question of how and whence we learn the mind and heart, the will and plan of God."

The Ozanam School has' five aims: To help good Vincentians be come better ones; To strengthen and extend the Society; To make the best use of the area talent; To widen members' concepts of the problems of the day; To learn applications of Vin centian principles and practices. Saintly Founder The name derives from Fred erick Ozanam, a young French man who in 1833 founded the Conference of Charity from which the worldwide Society of Vincentians took its origin. The original Conference in. cluded six you.ng students who met weekly. Meetings began with prayer and spiritual read ing, then proceeded to reports on the condition of families vis ited during the week. Members consulted on what was best to do in each cllse, then joined in closing prayers._ A secret collection to aid in meeting the needs of the poor was taken up at each meeting. The same form is followed in meetings held todaY all over the world, and untold good is done by the picked men from each parish where the Society is ac tive. The school provides instruc tion on the theological virtue of.

Bishop Wright declared that ''Christ is the norm, not the Bible by itself." He added: "Christ is the teacher, though Tradition be His instrument and the Church His voice within history and His herald." He said the Council debate . raised such questions as these: "Is the Bible the sole source of Revelation? Or are there two sources, the Holy Bible and Sacred Tradition? Are both these statements of the question perhaps oversimplified?"
THE
Plan Ozanam School of Charity for All Men In Attleboro Particular Council Area
LONDON (NC) - British Catholics will join in the Unity Octave starting Fri day, Jan. 18 more intensely than ever before, it was an nounced here. , For the first time the whole Hierarchy of England and Wales . is giving the octave of prayer for Christian unity - which is backed by the other major deno minations through the British , , Council of Churches-its whole hearted support. This follows the great impetus given to Christian unity by the Second Vatican Council. Father Herbert Keldany. sec retary of the Catholic Unity Octave movement, said that last year the group circulated some 70,000 copies of their special leaflet containing the prayer authorized to be said by Catho lics for unity. This year an ever larger number is being printed ..' and distributed through the Catholic Truth Sociaty. Alongside this will come a joint call from the English and Welsh bishops to their priests and people to mark the 1963 octave with special services and fervor. Special Solemnity

All Welcome Although active membership in the Societ~· is usually limited in a given parish, all men 18 years and older are encouraged to attend the school.

The A1ttleboro school will be the first held in that area, but a similar series was held in New Bedford some years ago. Other parts of the Dinocese have not as yet scheduled the series.
Archbishop John Heenan O!f Liverpool, chairman of the Hier archy's unity committee in con nection with the Ecumenical Council, told reporters that though ·the question of, unity had not yet been fully discussed at the Council, it had colored much of the discussions so far. Pope John, he said, made it clear also that he had this subject very mu<;h at hea·rt. "The Hierarchy has decided that the octave must be cele brated with special solemnity in January," the Archbishop said. "Of course the priests in their sermons will make it clear that what unity entails is not an al teration of Catholic doctrine there is no question of that but the return of the separated b ret h r e n to Holy Mother Church."

a priest-editor emphasized here. The old image was destroyed in 1960 when John F. Kennedy was elected President, marking the coming-of-age for U. S. Cath. olics, Msgr. Francis J. Lally., editor of the Pilot, Boston arch diocesan newspaper, told mem bers of the Catholic Institute of the Press. This coming-of-age culminated a process of development that had been taking place for at least two generations, the priest editor said at the CIP's second annual communications Mass in the Chapel of Faith, Hope and Charity here. Stereotype of Catholic Msgr. Lally said the CathoUe population grew from 40,000 to more than 40 million in the first ~50 years· of' .this country, « but this growth did not bring acceptance. I ' "The Catholic continued fOl' many years to carry the charac ter of the immignlnt, the fo1' eign-speaking, the less educated and affluent long after these qualities were no longer applic-. able," the Monsignor said'. These qualities lingered in the popular imagination "as a kind of stere otype of the American Catholic,· he added. It took· the expjosure of • Catholic figure like President Kennedy 'in whom these quali ties plainly were absent to shat ter the effectiveness of thill public image," Msgr. Lally said. The immediate concern ill finding a new image and that will' be fashioned by the state m~nts and actions of CatholiCtl in the coming decades, tbe Monsignor declared.

DisCLISS Priest 'Bank' Idea 1
Council Is Completely Free Of Political, Interference By Msgr. George G. Higgins ' DirectC)r, NCWC Social Action Department
In November, 1959 the late Cardinal Tardini, Secretar:v of State to Pope John XXIII, held a major press conferenc.e on the background and purposes of the Second Vatican Coun cil. In the course of this press conference-one of the first ever to be held in the Vati atti-in the form of two edito 'can-the Cardinal was asked rials in L'Osservatore Romano whether there would be any has already been widely publi- • representatives of govern cized in the Catholic p'ress in the ments present at the Council as 'lih'ere were in some of the earlier . Councils. He answered with a sharp "no" and then went en to say: "This time we shall . do it alone. Times have ehanged. At one time communi cations a Iso d'epended em princes. But . t ? day the Church can move more freely. '''The participation of heads of states at a council tQday would create a somewhat comic effect." :Events have proved that the Cardinal knew exactly what he was talking about. There were nQ representatives of govern m~nts present at the first session of: the Council (except for the op.ening ceremony) nor was there any attempt on the part of. any government to influence deliberations of the Council. .Indeed it would probably be fair to say that no council in the hiktory of the Church~with the ex;ception of the first Council of J~rusalem in Apostolic times has been as free from interfer ence' by the political powers that-be. Communist Twist It is interesting to note, how ____ '. ever, that while the Council didn't become involved in poli-' tics and wasn't confronted, even indirectly, ~ith the prob lein of political interference, it was nevertheless given a certain political "twist" in the state ments and publications of a few individuals and organizations of widely divergent political views -the communists on one hand and some ultraconservatives on the other. The official Communist party line with regard to the Second Vatican Council was clearly re· flected by Palmiro Togliatti, Secl'etaryGeneral of the Italian Commtinistparty, in his keynote address at the opening session of the party's annual Congress in R~me, Dec. 3. Togliatti, echoing the current line of the Kremlin, declared ~1 that "influential organizations and high personages in the Catholic Church now admit their ~dhesion to socialist principles." -He repeated the' theory, fre quently advanced by Communist leaders thrdughout the world in recent months, that Pope ~ohn and a few of his "progressive supporters called the Council chiefly to force their "reaction ary" colleagues to accept the necessity of cooperating with communist regimes. Togliatti had previously made substantially the same point in a press conference in Rome a . few' weeks before the opening of the annual Communist party Congress. . Needless to say, Togliatti, on both occasions, was talking utter nonsense. Nothing that trans" pired during the first session of the Council lent any support whatsoever to his crudely cyn. ical analysis of the Council's aims and purposes, .:rhe Vatican's reply to Togli-,
the
Praises Pope' .
United States. For present pur poses, therefore, it will not be necessary to pinpoint the falla cies in this propaganda. To the best of my knowledge, however, the press in this coun try has not yet reported that certain ultraconservative groups -for different but equally cyn ical motives-have been echoing the communist line with regard to the Council. As a matter of fact, the ultra conservatives have gone the communists one, better. They have published at least two full length books on the alleged dangers of the Council. One of these books says that there is a very real danger that the Coun cil will result in a disastrous "reconciliation" between Cathol icism and atheistic communism. , 'In League With Atheists' The other book-a vicious dia tribe against .the Jews - goes even further. It actually implies that there are certain key figures in the Council who are in league with the atheists and are delib. erately plotting to undermine Christianity and to bring about a reconciliation between Cathol icism and communism.' The latter book, by the way, was sent, unsolicited, to every bishop in attendance at the Council. Neither Togliatti's cynical at tempt to capitalize on the Coun cil for his own communist pur poses nor the two books referred to above are of world shaking importance in themselves. But they do serve to drlVJlatize' the importance of the point made by the late Cardinal Tflrdini in his press conference of 1959, name. ly, that the Council is fortunate to be completely free of political interference. It's bad enough to have polit ically inspired individuals and organizations misrepresenting the purpose of the Council from' the outside. The situation would be infinitely worse if they were in a position to ply·their cyn~cal trade within the Council itself.

Relinquish Gift Estate Zoning Ordinance Forces Return Of Grey Nuns to Motherhouse
MdNTRE.l\L (NQ)-"':A p~ posal f()lr an inter-diocesan "bank" ,of priests on which priest-short areas could draw is discussed in a magazine article jointly authored by' a bishop and a layman. . ' ; ',,' The priest "bank" idea was considered by Bishop Gerard Marie Coderre of St. Jean, Que., and Louis Edmond Hamelin, professor of geography at Laval University, Quebec, in an article in PretrE! Aujourd'hui (Today's Priest). . The article deals with the need for more dioces@ priests in some Quebec dioceses and sug. gestions for dealing with the problem. Allocate Priests Arnone: the proposals consid. ered are modification of exist ing dioeesan territorial limits to correet inequalities and for mation of regional committees of bishops to deal with the needs of their regions. The article notes that the idea for a priest "bank" would in volve, "in principle," placing all
diocesan priests in French

The bishops would then evaluate the needs of dioceses for priests and allocate them accordingly.
