Bish-op's Goal: "The parish pulpit needs the help of The Anchor," the Most Reverend Bishop has declared. . Changes are going to be made in the church liturgy that will affect all .catholics. It will be difficult for the parish priest to cover and explain the changes in the short time alloted for a Sunday sermon. But, the changes will be explained in detail and depth by this newspaper. That is one of many reasons why the Diocesan Ordinary wants a copy pi this newspaper in every home in the Diocese. The Anchor also reports and discusses innumerable
topics that develop good Catholic living, and, strong par ticipation in the faith. The Anchor serves as another means to broaden each person's knowledge and understanding of his faith.

Says Christianity Sw~eping Korea MARYKNOLL ( N C) - A 98eationing missioner reported South Korea's parish churches 8I'e overflowing, vocations are plentiful, church societies are strong, and the average Christian !II; conscious of the urgency of bringing his faith personally to bis neighbor. Father Henry F. Beninati, M.M., 35, of Bristol, Conn" home on furlough after six years of mission work, said "in other m-ore economically advanced countries in the Far East, it is aft e x c e p t ion to find any churches, let alone ones which ean accommod·ate 600 to 700 worshipers.

He said: ''IIhe leper is a sick person who. is curable. He must look toward his recovery; this is not only a duty, but an obligation. But he demands recognition for what he is:' a man-confident of the same rights, protected by the same civil and social disciplines as others. He does not ask favor itism. He rejects any special treatment which, however gen erous it might be, consists of another form of segregation."

planning to celebrate Mass must calculate the period of the Eu , charistic fast from the beginning of the Mass. A new decision now permits the period to be calculated in reference to the moment of the priest's Communion. The decision was contained in a Holy Office decree dated Jan. 10. Until the decree, under the provisions of the apostolic con stitution Christus Dominus of '1953 and the motu pr-oprio Sacram Communionem of 1957, priests had to calculate the three hour abstention from ordinary food and alcoholic drinks and the one hour abstention from non alcoholic drinks from the be ginning of Mass. According to Canon 247 of the Code of Canon Law, the. Holy Office exclusively is competent in all matters that relate to the Euchari!;tic fast for priests.

Setting Community Standards Indications are showing up in all parts of the country that the production of obscene literature is, in the words of the head of the New York Police Department, "mush rooming like an atomic cloud."
This half-a-billion a year industry continues to pander to greedy dealers who are quite willing to rnake a dollar at the expense of the young people into whose hands this kind of reading all too often falls. The dealers often try to defend themselves on the grounds that the magazines and books are meant for adults who enjoy the right to choose their own reading. But they know or should know that outlets to whom they peddle the so-called literature have neither the time nor the inclination to check on what youngsters are looking at and buying. The public is in great measure to blame for this sit uation because of its apathy to the menace that porno graphic literature encourages. The courts take as the standard of obscenity in a case involving such literature the standards set by the community itself. And if mothers and fathers, and leaders and officials in a community do not insist that the standards be high, that this kind of thing is offensive to them, that publications of a certain caliber outrage their standards, then the court does not know the mind of the community and cannot apply the law so as to drive from the market places these merchants of filth. . Action can begin on a block to block neighborhood basis! with responsible parents letting store men and owners know that certain types of publications are dangerous to children and that the moral standards of this neighborhood objects to them. All this is within the law, is not censure ship in the pejorative sense, but is simply letting the courts of the community know-as they desire to know and must know jf they are to apply the law-what the community standards of morality are.
Spiritual Motives Many persons in the country are in the throes of indecision trying to decide whether to give up cigarette smoking and then how to go about it. Just about all will agree that everything must be done to prevent youngsters from adopting the habit-one that stems in them from the desire to play the role of all. adult by using what has been long considered an adult prop -a cigarette. . This must be done with a program of community edn cation, through the schools, and, above all else in the in dividual family circle. But the person who decides to give up srnoking after he has been at it over a period of time must convince him self that it is harmful-as almost all medical surveys in dicate, that it is a crutch and that he as an adult can get along without this crutch, and that he has or can develop the will power to break the habit. It would not 'be at all out of place for the spiritual motives to be examined deeply and brought into the strug gle. Self-denial, mortification, penance--these can be worthy motives for breaking away from a habit that is seen as undesirable and harmful. Indeed, in many of the European countries, confessors have been giving penitents just such penances in the course of sacramental confession-to ab stain from smoking or some delicacy for a certain number of days, to perform some act of sacrifice.
This is based on the solid proposition that to curtail any appetite is to bring all appetites under more firm control.

DETROIT' (NC) - A Circuit Court judge here has refused to disqualify himself from hearing a case involving distribution of obscene publications, contending that his activities as a Catholic layman do not make him preju diced or biased. Judge Joseph G. Rashid said that "I have absolutely no preju dice or bias as related to the subject matter. While I have spoken on the subject (of inde cent literature) I have at no time publicly said that any given publication does not comply with Michigan statutes." Ernest Goodman, attorneys for the Royal News Company and William Doerfler, its manager, said that he will appeal the judge's ruling to Executive Judge Thomas J. Murphy. New court rules permit the question of disqualification of a
judge to be appealed to Judge Murphy who can either review the case himself or assign it to another judge. Says Judge Biased Goodman argued that Judge Rashid is biased because he is past president of the Archdioc esan Council of Catholic Men and currently a member of the National 'Council of Catholic Men's executive committee. Both councils are active in the Na tional Office for Decent, Litera ture. 'The aetion grows out of a suit by Prosecutor Samuel Olsen to block distribution of about 20,000 copies of 289 publications seized in a raid on July 22, 1963. The Royal News Company filed a $2011,000 damage suit against Olsen and the Detroit Police Department for damages resulting from the raid.

Less Blessed to G'ive Than Get, When It's Common Cold By Mary Tinley Daly "'Tis ,more blessed to give than to receive." No one probably, could, argue with this tenet, in theory nor i~ general practice. However, there are exceptions. One came to light at our house recently, at other houses, even at a rectory. As to the "giving" please the wife. Was playing bit, our grandson Timmy de with the' grandchildren on veloped a cold, one of those ' Christmas Day. Some of 'em had sniffly jobs to which year golds - most kids do this time olders are prone: sneezes, runny nose, general malaise. The new accomplishment of walking was temporar fly 'abandoned. All he wanted was to be cud dled in h rs mother's arms, or snuggle up to his grand father. "Don't let
him sneeze at you, Dad!l y," Mary warned the Head of the House, "One cold in this house is enough." Not one to be dictated to, the Head of the House, scoffed at the warning. , "We're doing all right, aren't we Timmy?" he said. "Little baby germs like yours are just - well, just little baby germs. I could give you a cold if. I had one. But you give me a cold, Nonsense!',' Wrong Timinl!' It can happen here. :tt. did. Waking with a vol can i e sneezing spell, a head the size of a football, a nose resembling Niagara, the Head of the House decided that he might stay in bed "for an hour or so till I get this thing licked." Blamed were everything from the open win dow on the bus, to a shoe that needed repair, to changing a tire in the snow - everything and any t hi n g but "those baby germs." "Should-a bid bore cautious," he deadily confessed. "Bus win dows, leaky shoes, changing tires - no good in this weather. How's Tibby's gold?" Mary assured him, from a safe distance, that Timmy's cold wall better. Matter of fact, a great deal of it had gone, though dipl,omatically she ref r a i ned from saying where 'it had gone. "Baby gerbs, not long getting rid of 'em," the Head of the House wheezed. Baby germs, as anticipated, soon grew to full manhood when passed on to baby's grandpa. They were no longer baby germs when lodged in a two-genera tions-older chest. "Forgetting the whole thing" and "I'm getting better day-by day" psychology didn't give with physiological aspects of the thIng as our elder cold victim found himself more congested, more weak, and really sicker all the time. Finally, he became not only the victim of the cold but of. his resolute daughter, a re gistered nurse; . "This is silly, Daddy," Com mander Markie said, taking over. "You and' I are going 'te the medico, like lt or not." Like' it or not,' he went. Cau&,ht from Kids The waiting room was full of people, as always. An(l, as usual, people got to talking. "Mine's just a bad gold," said a man seated besiae the Head of the House. "But it's getting ....orse. That's why I'm here - to

Other priests. in the rtictoryhave had colds but haven't passed 'em on, and I doubt if I'll pasS this one on. Maybe you catch things from kids? I'm wondering." As the Head of the House sat glumly reading an October, 1961, copy of Sports Illustrated, he was also wondering, and pon dering. "Maybe you're :right, Father," he said. "Could be we were' on the receiving end - all of us dealing with kids laden with gold." "You mean * * *?" "I mean, this is one of your beatitudes, or whatever you call 'em.

' "Let's put it this way, Father," said the Head of the House. "Far as kids are concerned, It's more blessed to give - a "cold - than to receive one. But, honestly, they give so much more * * *" "I'll buy that one," smiled the padre ("Uncle Frank), as he went in to see the medico about his "cold." .

Plan flo Revise U.S. Catechism
By John J. Kane, Ph. D. "My 17-year-old' daughter is a junior in high school. She has been going steady with a boy of 18 for about a year and a half. Last night she told us she is three months pregnant. This has come as a terrible shock to my husband and me. We had sent her to girls, who by age 18 were wid parochial, school and have owed or divorced. tried to rear her as a good But a premarital pregnancy is Catholic. We saw no harm also a moral problem, an aspect in. her going steady since most of her friends do. She_ wants to
marry this boy, but he seems reluctant. We so disturbed that' we do riot know where to turn or what'to do." This is a 8Qddehing' and ~bering , eXpe rience. Ma·r y . My sytnpathies go to you, your husband, daugh and your daughter's boy friend. Unfortunately it is an experi ence which is becoming: far too frequent today. But this in no way lessens the family's sense' of ehame. Despite the rep,uted "liberality" of· our age, if, .~his becomes known, your daugh ter's reputation will suffer. Her own remorse is probaQJY l.teen.

oPPoseS Forced Marriage' This is not the time to~arn or criticize: Now it is too late. it must be faced with 'intelli .gence, charity and 'recourSe to God. The most important>' step now is to avoId the complete iUiD.· of 'your daughter's life,' as well as that of 'her boy' friend and the unborn child. So many families in this situ ation immediately try to run for eover via a forced marriage. In this way the family name is _"ed, or so it is believed;' your daughter avoids the hostile ar lOws of those who know, and the cbild is given a name. But' ~"is ill largely a Victorian attitude, an ostrich head in the • and approach. It is certainly not a.religious approach. One of the disturbing elements is that this boy is reluctant to marry yo1,ll' daughter, and here is an impor tant clue to p1"O"edures.
I
Goinc 8~,. Dan«er Since this young man is re luctant to marry your daughter, it means he b not in love with her. But a major ingredient of marriage should be mutual iove. No doubt TOU and your hus band can bring pressure to bear on this boy and force a marriage. 'Ibis would be as great a tragedJ' .. that which haa already occur lied. It will compound the error. Let's look at the matter carefully. His reluctance to marry is GIlly too typical of too miny 70ung people. They want 'the privileges of adulthood and marriage without its necessary obligations. Part of it is due, to their chronological age, even more importantly to the psycho'" logical age. . It 1S reflected in the tendency to date too early and to go .teady too early. You have now seen happen first hand what 10 many parents with teenage sons and daughters refuse, to admit, the almost inevitable danger of going stead' at an early age. Moral Problem But SUPPDM a marriage .. forced, which would be immoral and illegal, or suppose lie ill persuaded into it. Have you ilD)' hope or indication that he wiJl act more responsibly in marriage than he hal acted to date? What a tragedy if a premarital pregnancy is followed by a mar_ rlage resulting Ja divorce. But neither is uncommon. III 10M there were between 1! and 11 tbousand 70UD8 penou, ~
more important than all others. As a first step, I suggest you have your daughter see one of the parish priests. At the first or certainly the second interview the boy should do the same. This is not easy for either but essen tial for both.

She is too young to support the child, and even if you parents are willing to do 10, there is still the strong 'stigma attached to premai-ital pregnancy which will haunt your daughter and quite probably later inflict the child. Her chances of a future, happy marriage are reduced; so too are the possibilities of higher edu cation. For the child's sake and her sake, this seems to be the only feasible way of dealing with the problem. If this is finally decided upon, the priest can refer her to Cath olic Social Service. In every di oCe~ .it is able to handle such matters. They will arrange for her confinement in another city as well as adoption of the child by responsible foster parents.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee .lor the Confrater nity of Christian Doctrine said here preliminary work will be gin shortly to update the Ameri can catechism. Bishop Charles P. Greco &f Alexandria, La., said in a state men,t that theologians, Scripture scholars and experts in liturgy and catechetics will be invited to begin preliminary work on the revision which will retIect decrees of the Second Vatican Council. The work will be under' the direction of Archbishop Joseph T., McGucken of San Francisco. The standard question-and answer explanation of Catholic teaching used in' the United States today is a graded series known as the Revised Baltimore Catecbism. It was published between 1941 and 1949 and changes were made in various section of it in 1954, '1957 and 1961. The original was published in 1885.

Further, a case worker will provide the psychological sup port and counseling of which your daughter now stands in sore need. This worker will help reduce the terrible trauma which your child now suffers. You and your husband are likewise going to need some help in the days ahead. It is strongly recommended that you too visit the priest. At the moment you . are ,overwhelmed with grief' and shaine. This is understandable and by no means undesirable.' But, please, do not visit your frustration upon your daughter. This is not to absolve her of re sponsibility.

Teen-age Steady Dating
Psychologically Harmful
t Th!!ft~aJs!
By Joseph T. McGloin, SJ.
It may well be that steady dating will one day rate the
prize for getting the most ink spilled about it. The fact
is, of course, that a lot of ink has to be spilled about it. And
- the trouble with splashing ink around is that those who
most need it either won't or should be courageous enough to
ean't read, and the intelligent face. They are a form of escape. types who know all this And the chances are enormous figure you're wasting time that, as later and greater prob
talking about it. Because no fairly bright teen - ager goes steady, and no rational parents will allow it. Unfortunately, though, logical -tho ugh t processes tend to wilt around the -e d g e s w hen aoaked in emotions. And so, '. -. n otherwise rational teen. teen-ager will sometimes drift into going steady for some irrational, emotional "motive" - "Everybody's doing . it," or for "security" (so as not to be embarrassed by not having a date), or even out of an adolescent love. Proximate Occasion On the part of parents, the .ame emotions sometimes blind them to reason, and they convince themselves that the practice must be harmless since they don't want the bother of stopping it - which is the same kind of phony "reasoning" we use when we want to commit a mortal sin. Now this subject has so much to it that we can bite off only one little bit of it here and worry it a bit. The most frequent point· of discussion on the practice is its morality, but little will be said about that here. Let it only be noted now that while teen-aged steadies usually begin ona high moral level, they al-' most· never stay there. And neither teen-aged steadies - nor parents allowing it can in conscience close their eyes to the very great possibility of a proximate oocasion of sin in the: practice. Time for Enjoyment . Here and now, however, let's touch rather on -some of the psychological effects on teen-age steadies. It may bl;:! possible that there could be (you could be President, too) a couple of teenaged steadies who encountered no moral difficulty.Psychological harm, however, is even closer to being universal. ~Teen-agedom should be a wonderful time, for learning and enjoyment and living as a teenager should, free of the greater responsibilities of adulthood but beginning, gradually, to learn what responsibility is 'llIld how to_ handle it. It is 11 time for learning a vast variety of things - how to know and -get along with other people, for instance. F1ul Frem Sltynea Now teen-agedom has one big handicap in accomplishing this knowledge of others - a built-in shyness. 1t is somewhat difficult :for most teen-agers to meet other people with complete ease, and to converse and deal with them with no strain. Unfortunately, sometimes they run from this natural ~ess instead of conquering it. lnstead of building up their courage by getting to 1·.... 0W -many of +'-~ir own contemporaries, they feed their cowardice by concentrating on only O"~ boy or girl. And so they frustrate one of the very nece~~qry goals of their teen years, the graceful conquest of shyn-"5. Steadies are buffers against the things and people the kids
lems arise, they'll still seek es
cape routes, because they've accustomed themselves to escaping from the d iff ic u 1 t into some
momentarily pleasant refuge.
Form 01 E!ilCape
Psychologically, teen - aged
steadies bury themselves in self love and selfishness and selfpity - the ve r y childhood diseases their teen-years are
supposed to cure. Naturally, teen steady':'goers (and their parents) are loud in proclaiming that going -steady is simply a sign of maturity, though the Objective truth is that
it is just the opposite. The tOo-early practice of going steady is a reversion to infancy, to dependence on one person be cause one is scared of the others. ' And the serfdom of going steady
feeds this and fosters it.
Demands Matu-rity The real truth is that "going steady" demands maturity rather than producing it. And this is one reason that the proper time for it, in nature and in God's plan, is just before the engage ment. But teen-agers, who are not yet at this stage, only defer ma turity in going steady. After all,
there is just as much immaturity shown in the youngster who mimics an adult as in the adult who imitates a child. Now since morality has some connection wit h psychology, we'll have to touch briefly on moraIs- here. Most steadies be gin with the hest of .intentions. But no two kids can prolong the situation without some moral difficulty. If adults (those of marriagable age physically, emotionally, intellectually and financially) have difficulties with temptations, how much greater are the temptations <If adolescents who are not yet ready to be calm about this sort of fireworks? Temptations Increase As a steady relationship is prolonged, temptations to "a
little more intimacy" may well come with increasing frequency and vehemence. At this stage, one of two things has to happen: Either one or both will give in to the tempta tions, only once at first, and then with hurtling frequency; or else one or both "Will become nervous and tense in the constant struggle - to resist temptation, and perhaps in the added battle against the other partner's "arguments" and
pleadings. By this time, he will probably be pouting if the girl refuses to neck or pet or more with .him, while the girl gets increasingly "afraid of losing" the clod if she continues to follow principle in stead of his childish desires. Or the pouting and fear CQuld well be reversed. YOUng Emotions The steady relationship takes on more and more of the -obUga tions of marriage, and· so it is
natural that the privileges of marriage also be sought occa
sionally. The whole .situation is
worsened, or· coUrse,. by . the
hyper-sensitivi,ty of very young
emotions and the -inadequacy of
far from complete maturity.
Youth is a time for fun, a time
. for growing responsibility, .,,,d
not a time for over-serious love
affairs, 'way out of aeucm. '

NEW YORK (NC) - New York City welfare commissioner James R. Dumpson has an nounced a new policy of direct referral to birth control services for welfare recipients who re quest them.
Under the new policy, clients of the Welfare Department who ask for family planning .advice or contraceptive devices will be given a list of public and pri vate hospitals providing such services. Two Catholic hospitals which· provide information on the rhythm method of birth con trol are on the list. Previously, welfare recipients
seeking birth control services
were sent first to it physicians'
panel which determined whether
they would be referred to a
hospital for the services they
sought. 'Must Serve All' Under both plans, the Welfare Department pays for the birth
control services. Dumpson, describing himself as "an active, participating Cath olic," said he consulted with the Federation of Jewish Philan_ thropies, the Protestant Council, and Catholie Charities of the New York archdiocese and the Brooklyn diocese before de ciding on the new policy. ''I think some don't agree, but they recognize that as a public official I must llerve all the pe0 ple," he said.

Church's Social AieJ Program Assists Hong Kong Refugees
Historic Qu~~ec Church Blesses' 'Little Breads'
HONG KONG (NC) - Realistic expansion to meet the still challenging needs of Hong Kong's teeming refugee population continued to keynote the Church's work here during 1963. Year-end statistics show that the Church's spiritual, educational, and hospitals with 806 beds; and social services now reach up lie 31 free Catholic clinics and dis ward of one-third of more pensaries, including outpatient than 3.5 million people in this clinics, mobile clinics, sampan British colony on the south China coast. The breadth and pace of the Church's network of activities, as reported in the official 1964 Hong Kong Catholic Directory pUblished by the Catholic Truth Society, range from noodle making to navigation courses for fishermen and, with the growth of the lay apostolate, are be ginning to include communica tions workshops and labor semi nars for young workers. The directory reported a total of 319 priests of 18 different nationalities, including 27 Amer icans. Twenty-six are diocesan priests exiled from Red China. The 208 nondiocesan priests be. long to l() different religious congregations. There are 127 Brothers of 16 different nationa lities and 688 Sisters of 17 na tionalities belonging to 20 dif ferent congregations. These figures include 167 Chinese priests and 338 Chinese Sisters. The Catholic population of 208,603 adults and children are served by 71 church buildings. Education In education, the directory lists 198 preparatory, primary, 8econdary and middle, technical and trade, commercial, and eve ning schools with a total atten dance of 128,689 students. This is more than 17 per cent of the colony's total school enrollment of 728,095 (exclusive of post secondary schools and colleges.) Attendance- at Catholic schools continued to be two-thirds non Catholic. Under charitable institutions, the new directory listed 5 Catho-
China Clamps Down On Skilled Escapees MACAO (NC)-China is tight ening its fetters around the skilled and educated to prevent their flight from the mainland into this Portuguese colony. A total of 3,853 registrations in 1963, compared to 10,806 in 1962, was announced by Casa Ricci, Catholic relief center here where the bulk of legal and il leg'al refugees register for in terim aid. The figures showed that 1,855 received permits and 1,998 entered as "escapees." In 1962 there were 4,551 per mits and 6,255 "escapees." The drastic reduction in 1963 was in terpreted as indicating that China is taking stringent meas ures to keep its productive man power at home instead of per mitting it to drain off to Hong Kong and Macao. The bulk of new arrivals during 1963 belong to unproductive categories.
Says Unity Demands Christian Charity WASHINGTON (NC)-Auxil_ iary Bishop John J. Dougherty' of Newark said here Catholics must do more than pray for Christian unity. The president of Seton Hall University, South Orange,..N.

S. and Latin Amer_ ica will be prominently dis played in San Antonio's ''Bemis.' fair," with stre§s on the Catho lic Church because of its dom inant place. William R. Sinkin, president of the San Antonio Fair Inc., a non-profit organization making arrangements for the Hemisfair, scheduled to open in April, 1968, made the announcement.

St. Genevieve became patron saint of Paris. The little breads - size' of • finger nail - are made of un leavened flour, water and salt by members of the parish. Many legends have growa, about the breads, which 1l1ay account for the demand for them from Canada and the United States. Widespread Devotion In Quebec as well as France there is a widespread devotion to St. Genevieve as a helper of the unfortunate and the sick. Father Fer nan d Marquis, parish priest, officiated at the blessing of the breads. The blessing of another 250,000 takes place during the Summer when they are in great demand by U.S. tourists. The blessing is the same as itl Paris.

Stresses Importance of Newman Proqrom in Secular Colleges CLEVELAND (Nc) - Areh bishop Edward F. Hoban, Bishop of Cleveland, cautioned Catholie students they may not atteoo a secular college unless it has a Newman Club program eft its campus. Eut even a Newm-an program, the Archbishop warned in a letter read Sunday at aU Masses in all churches of the diocese, "'does not safeguard the Faith unless students actively partiej.. pate, especially by attending the educational classes." . Fat her Charles Albright, C.S.P., coordinating seeretai"y, National Newman Apostolate, Washington, D. C., estimated there are some 900 secular uni versities and coHeges in the U. S. with Newman Club programs and some 200 without programs. He said the institutions without programs are small church-re lated institutions, trade and technical schools, and ;ilIJlUlr celIeges. 0
Expressing concern for bigb school seniors now investiga.ting eolleges they may attend, .-\reh bishop'Toban wrote: "We feel aD ebligation to bring to the atten tion of Catholic students and their parents that one of the most important considerations in ch60sing a college must be prell ervation of the Faith.

'Mind of Catholic Layman" Thou~htful, Provocative By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy . . In The Mind of the Catholic Layman (Scribners. $3.95), Dalliel Callahan has written· an uncommonly thoughtful and wholesomely provocative book on a subject of prime importance. It is forthright expression of strong views yet· discriminating and balw h 0 h ave come t 0 grips· and to' . anced. T h e con~ervatIve terms with the society in which reader, and especially the th· live; (5) a recon'ciliation of conservative cleric, may at the· demands made on tile lay first be annoyed and even perturbed by much that Mr. Callahan has to say, but reflection will persuade him that this is a reasonable • n d conscientlous as well as ' unconvent ion a 1 and frank, discus,Jon of the posi"lion of the layman - pas t , present, and fuwre.· One of its key merits is its solid historical grounding. Mr. Callahan has reviewed the story Of the Church in this country, with special attention to the place of the layman at successive stages. What he discovers is not steady progress, but rises and falls attributable to circumstances. Trusteeism Abused 'His first chapter is entitled "A New Land, a New Layman," and its most interesting feature is the reminder that the Anglo-Ameriean Catholics in the early days of this republic were not in a ghetto, but, in the main, the pe of their Protestant fellow ,citizens. From those years dates trusteeism, the arrangement whereby the control of the finances ctf a local church was in the bands of a body of lay trustees. This system had certai" ad. vantages and afforded the layman some ''''tiative and respon. sibility in church affairs. But it was open to serious abuses, and these were not long in growlng to intolerable proportions. Clergy Le~ 'I"rs In any case as the nineteenth eentury went 'on, the whole picture for the Church in. this country was changed by the tidar waves of immigration which kept sweeping millions ~f Europeans onto our shores. The newcomers were not easily :\ssimilated for many reasons were made to feel unwanted. ' All this meant that they were ....f iot qualified for responsibility in the Church even had they wished it. It meant. too, thai bishops and priests be~ame their leaders riot merely in things 8Piritual but in almost every other re~peet as well. .After the Civil War the climate wa- somewhat m~re favorable to the immigrant Catholic now rooted here. . Building Problem ,But the Church was largely eoncerned with building. To aceommodate the vast numbers of Catholics, to provide schools wherein the explicit and aggressive Prtoestant ethos of the pub. lie school would not obtain to raise money and administe~ it _ this was the preoccupation of the Church authorities. In the main, they did not address themselves to social and economic problems. 'Toward the end of the century something· of a lay renaissance occurred. The' conditions for anytime are, as seen by Mr. Cal lahan, (1) support and encour agement from the hierarchy; (2) a : general rethinking of the Church's function in society; (3) th,e Church's facing the world wtth poise and self-assurance; lJiiIC'4' the existence of lay leader.
men by Church and by society; (6) a degree of freedom for the layman in the Church corre sponding to the degree of freedom he enjoys in society. At the present time we have come to· a decisive cro,sroads, and the second part of Mr. Callahan's book is devoted to analysis and forecast. All that he has to say cannot be summarized ·here, but there are two strains in his. 3:rgument which shonld be mentioned. One has to do with the rela tionship of clergy and laity. He sees no anti-clericalism in the classic mold existing or threat ening here. But he does say can didly that the laity, now better educated than ever, are more critical of the clergy. They feel that many priests, especially the older ories, are without real experien~e of the American Catholic aSSimilation which the layman knows at fiI:st hand. They feel, too, that priests live in a different institutional world from theirs. Seminary Training They wonder whether the seminaries, with their insistence on an obedience questionably apt for maturing a humah person, are preparing men who can cope with the challenge and onnortunity of today and tomorrow. Above all, they wonder whether the seminarian is being readied to understand the problems of the laity and to deal successfully with them. The S&lIOnd theme is Mr. CaIlahan's insistence on a more vigorous and discriminating ap proach to American life, and th' to be done by the layman. "The laym::ln's tas" is to bring Christian values to bear in every corner of society, to speak to t~e needs and agonies of our times, to show the contemporary relevance of Christianity to those great issues which trouh1a and divide men." TC he is to do this, the layman must have a more significant role wit h i n the Church. Motivated by Love This reqt':-os a new type· of layman. He will be "an integral Catholic, neither a confo"".,ist nor a rebel, pr~cisely to the ex tent that the Church is able to show him what Catholicism in its fullness is." That he may come into being and function, there is need of "a dynamic conception of Catho lic life which stresses. freedom and maturity, a creative and positive assent to Church autho rity rather than blind, fearful obedience." Mr. Callahan writes with great i~?act, although so~ewhat ?ro IJ'" . He has ObVIously gIven d~ep an.d painstaking thought.to hiS subJect. He offers observa tions and interpretations which are no~el, but which, ~po~ con sideratIon, prove convmcmg. He is not afraid to face facts and to voice opinions which will be less than universally popular. But he is no malcontent, no negative, carping critic. He ill plainly motivated by love.

He 'now lives in Beirut, Lebanon, but when he was in the Fall River Diocese under the late Bishop Feehan, ahe was sta tioned in New Bedford." After the Pope's arrival,. re lated Btother Daniel, "I was only about five feet away when he walked out of the Royal Pavilion - what an excellent view!" The Brother's good luck con tinued, he noted, for he was of fered a ride in the papal caval cade to Amman. "This gave me a splendid view of the -crowds of school children, nuns, priests and people lined up along the way there were thousands watching. It also gave me a view of the highly decorated streets, arches, houses and buildings. ......... May God bless all those children; the Boy Scouts of the private and public schools; and the people who stood waiting since 10 in the bitter cold." Bethlehem Encounter "The third and last day the Pope was in Bethlehem. I went on Sunday afternoon to be sure to be on time for the Pope's ar rival at 7 Monday morning, Jan. 6. On the morning of the 6th I went into the church at 5:30 and it was jam:"packed with people. "As the Pope arrived into the town of Bethlehem King Hus sein flew around in his heli copter.It was strange to hear the crowd in the church clapping while the Pope went up the aisle to the sanctuary. He knelt on a prie-dieu and prayed for a time, then marched down the aisle and down to the Grotto to say Mass at the Manger. His exit was up the stairs from the Grotto - along the back of the church - out of the side door. Another break for me - I was standing at the side door as he passed I was able to touch his hand." Event Ends
''The Pope's plane left Amman
about 4:15 P.M. A great histori cal event ended," concluded Brother Daniel, adding "I know you wish you were here. It really was tremendous. I con sider it a great blessing for my

St. Peter's Doors· Show Highlights Of Pope John
PHILADELPHIA NC-A Ca nadian historian saluted the U. S. Catholic Hierarchy "as socially progressive as the most ad vanced Americans.' Bennett HilI discussed here his observations 6f the American prelates during recent ses:lions of the Second Vatican Counell. Hill said he cODl;luded that the U. S. prelates from the East and West Coasts were inclined to be conservative in Church matters, while tho,,~ from the Middle West were forward looking and progressive. "On the political and socia.l is_ sues--the question of relaHons of Church and State, and race relations - the American Bish ops demonstrated themselve,s to be as socially progressive as the most advanced American.s
VATICAN CITY (NC) The new bronze doors for St. Peter's' basilica will depict, among other things,· the meeting of the late Pope John XXIII with the Church's first Negro cardinal, Laurean Ru gambwa of Tanganyika, his opening of the Second Vatican Council and his death. Noted Italian sculptor Gia eomo Manzu spent 18 months working on the doors, which . were cast in .Milan and are still there. The upper panels of the doors depict Christ's death and the death of the Blessed Mother. Below these are panels depicting the death of Abel, of Joseph, pro tomartyr Stephen, St. Gregory VII and Pope John XXIII. Other panels will depict death in war, death in space, and death on earth. Pope and Cardinal Borders and crossbar sections will be covered with symbols of the Eucharist and of animals. Pope .Tohn's meeting with Cardi- . nal Rugambwa and his opening of the ecumenical council will. be shown' on· the inner sides of the doors. Manzu, an artist from Ber gamo-which was Pope John's home diocese--was awarded the commission for the doors after he had entered designs in a com~ petition sponsored by the Vat ican. "It was the only.competition I took part in in my long life as a sculptor," Manzu said, adding that he did so because J~3 wished to pay a tribute to his deceased mother, "who was very reli-. gious." Rare Man Manzu, however, dedicated the doors to ·'he memory of Msgr~ Giuseppe .de Luca, a good .friend who died in 1962 and who was an Italian literary specialist. Manzu said that Pope John posed for drawings and models 15 times, sometimes for as long' 8S two and one-half hours at a stretch. "He was a rare man who united in himself great goodness and great firmness," Manzu .said.
Foresees Early End Of Vatican CQuncil STEUBENVILLE (NC)-Bish ep John King Mussio, said he foresees an early end for the Second Vatican Council-if the eommissions assigned to work between sessions carry out the will of the council Fathers. Bishop Mussio told the Steu benville Rotary Club "the frus tration experier.cE!d by the abil ity of a relative handful of 'status-quoers' to obstruct prog ress does not il" any way indi cate that the'second session was failw·e." TheOhi~ prelate said the most lIignificant result of ·the second session was the "formation" of the council Fathers' thinking on ·the notions of the '~people ,jf God" ·and the "family of Christ." He said this unexpected develop ment made it evident to the world that "the Church wishes to exclude 'no one from her con eern."
