New High Subscription Total Many plans-but all. designed for one pur­ pose-will be carried out next month in the 110 parishes of the diocese as pastors undertake an energetic campaign to push the circulation of this newspaper to its highest point in history.

The import of the diocesan Catholic press and its impact upon the faithful are being rec­ ognized more and more in each and every parish.

The most ardent advocate and supporter of the diocesan Catholic Press is Pope Paul VI. The Most Reverend Bishop has one goal in mind inso­ far as The Anchor is concerned and that is com­ plete family coverage.

Some parishes next month will turn over

their circulation drives to the women's organi­ zations. Others will use school children for sub­ scription work. And, in some parishes, the pastors will underwrite the initial cost of sub­ scriptions and then seek indemnification from his parishioners.

One thing is certain. There is a decided in­ crease in interest in this year's campaign. That is obvious from the many inquiries which have been made at our circulation department by pastors from every section of the diocese.

We know of a half-dozen pastors who are out to gain the honor of being first to lead their parish to complete family coverage. They

•

In

Sight

are not content with quota-subseriptions.

These pastors long ago discovered that the parish quotas are relatively simple to achieve.

The many fine commentaries they have heard make them feel that their efforts have been well spent. They now have their sights trained on complete family coverage and they will not be content until they achieve their goal.

Join the lay press apostolate. If every subscriber to this newspaper assisted his pastor in gaining one new subscription,. The Anchor would be close to its goal of complete family coverage in the entire diocese. We have grown each year. 1964 will be our banner year.

HOUSTON (NC) - A Presby­ terian Church official ~")pealed here for a "spirit of mutual un­ de~anding" that can overcome the intensity of the so-called re­ ligious controversy over Federal­ aid to education.

Sissel, who rated the needs, of both public and parochial education as serious, said moves· must be made to start profitaQle debate on how to extend U.S. aid to both systems.

He proposed exploration of five "soft lq>Ots in the stalemate." .

They are: shared-time education;. a tax deduction; aid for Summer, sessions at public schools which. are . open to parocliial pupils; provision of textbooks on secular.. subjecu;; and the extending of. repayable loans to all private, schools.

The POAU since its forming in the late 19405 has been a de­ termined opponent of any aid to parochial 5Cbools or their pupils, picturing such requests as a plot by the Catholic Church . to deceive the public into support . of its religious work.

The significance of Sissel's in:" vitation to address the POAU's annual meeting was not immedi..; ately dear. But 1'JOme observers have n"!ied in public statements in recent months a broadeni~ . of opinion within the ()rganiza­ tion on several eontroversial issues.

Sissel, who noted that he was trained as a clergyman with

. F~deral assistance under the (~.J..

Bill of Rights, said he sees "tre­ mendous needs faced by general education in tlotis eountl'y." .Qf. parochial schools, be said t~.t statistically. their situatio.. looks "very serious." He pointed . to 129 per cent enrollment in­ crease since 1940 and the 5OC». per C"'~, jump in the number of salaried lay teachers since 1950 alone. ' .

"Those Protestants JWt over.Iy burdened with a spirit of charity -or . particularly appreciative' of' th~ -contribution of parochial' sChool to education in this cou~ . trY may say, 'That's just too bad.

Let them close their parochial' sehr,ols and get into public edu-' cation where they belong,''' he' said: .

But be argued there are "v·ery selfish reasons" for Protestants·' to have dcep concern about paro­ chial schools. One, he said, is tha' in many areas the tax baM' will not bear any more weight.

A second, he said, is that Catholic support is required t. produce successful appeals for increased public Sl;hool support.

Speaker Urges Removal Of Anti-Semitic Views

Plans to Honor Kennedy Memory

; WASHINGTON (NC)-A Chair of Unity Octave speaker said here that Christiane, in praying for the Jews, must pray also for themselves that they may be free of anti-Semitism. Father De Sales Standerwick, S.A., of St. john's Atonement Seminary, He said that in some instances Montour Falls, N.Y., said: priests may have been respon­ When we pray for the sible for such incidents through Jewish people today, we had unnecessary harshness and lay­ better in all wisdom pray for ourselves too, that all the sly in­ Iluendoes, all the down-trodding viewpoints against the people of Israel that we have absorbed into our bloodstreams over the eenturies will be erased and eradicated completely. Then we ean pray with true charity."

Reverse History He said Catholics "can and must" reverse the long history of anti-Jewish prejudice. "Just as they (the Jews) were to lead the Gentiles of old to the know­ ledge and love of the one true God," he said, "so are we now to lead the JewiSh vine of the Lord back to its natural place on the tree of salvation."

At an earlier service in the unity observance, Bishop Wil­ liam Connare of Greensburg, Pa., warned priests and laity alike against actions which might tend to cause people to leave the Church.

"There Is a tremendous need ht this field for trained counsel­ ing," Father McGlynn said, He oid the program will traia priests during residence in their parishes. Aim of the program, he added, is to produce a "truty lemily-centered therapist."

Father McGlynn eontinued: "We propose to do this by drawing upon the education and training ansi therapeutic skills of various professions in the field of mental health, psychi­ atry, social casework and clinical psychology."

Priests may avail themselves of those permissions, he said in a letter, on account of the short­ age of priests and if true pas­ toral necessity requires.

Bishop Tracy, basing his ac­ tion on Pope PaUl VI's granting of a series of special permissions

to bishops, also announced other

changes, including the faculty to distribute Holy Communion in the evening and permission for hospital chaplains and certain others to administer the Sacra­ ment of Confirmation to persons in danger of death.

University Plans Priests' Course In Counseling.

Pope Explains Beginlting

Continued from Page One his own initiative, rather than suggested by a congregation of the Roman curia or some other body. While published Jan. 28, it bears the date of Jan. 25, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul.

The document authorizes the rmplementation of 11 specific provisions of the liturgical con­ stitution enacted by the Second Vatican Council last Dec. 4.

Some changes con c ern the Breviary, the book containing the Divine Office, which priests are required to recite every day.

Also as of Feb. 16, which is the first Sunday of Lent, the sacrament of Confirmation may be conferred during Mass.

In the introduction to the 1,400-word document, Pope Paul cited the concern which popes 'and bishops have always had for enhancing the liturgy. He stressed the necessity for all priests and lay people to study the lit u r g i c a I constitution ihoroughly and to accept its pro­ visions. Diocesan bishops are or~ed to make sure that their people understand the value and significance of the liturgy and take part actively and piously in the Church's worship. .

The Pope's instructions thus seek to make effective the con­ stitution's assertion that the "full and active participation by all of the people is the aim to be considered before all else" in the work of renewing the liturgy.

The papal document notes that many provisions of the liturgical constitution cannot be put into effect within a short period of time, because some of the litur­ . gical rites must be revised and new liturgical texts must be pre­ pared. It is for this work that the Pope is establishing a special commission. But the make-up of the commission was not im­ mediately detailed.

Provisions of the constitution which go into force Feb. 16 by virtue of the Pope's motu proprio are: 1. Seminaries and religious houses of study must prepare now to carry out Articles 15, 16 and 17 of the con~titution, which make comprehensive study of the liturgy a compulsory and major course in studies for the priesthood. There must be a start in implementing the pro­ visions of the three articles within the next year.

2. Diocesan commissions for promoting the liturgical move­ ment must be established, in line with Article 45. And every diocese should set up commis­ sions for sacred music and sa­ cred art if at all possible (Ar­ ticle 46).

3. As of Eeb. 16, the sermon during Masses on Sundays and holydays becomes obligatory (Article 35).

4. The faculty of administer­ ing Confirmation during the celebration of Mass goes into effect Feb. 16 (Article 71).

5. The sacrament of Marriage must normally be celebrated within the Mass, after the read­ ing of the Gospel and the homily (Article 78). If Matrimony is celebrated apart from Mass, it is required that at the begin­ ning of the ceremony, after a brief exhortation, that the Epis­ tle and Gospel of the Nuptial Mass be read and that the ritual blessing be given to the spouses.

6. Priests in reciting the Di­ vine Office privately may omit the hour of Prime, and select from among the three minor hours of Terce, Sext and None the one which best fits the time of day (Article 89).

7. Diocesan bishops may, in special cases and for well-con­ sidered reasons, dispense from the . obligation to recite the Office, either in whole or in part, or permit substitution for it of other prayer. Article 97).

Montfort Fathers Provincial Reports on World Tour of Missions

The M 0 n t for t Fathers opened their first house- in the Fall River Diocese- in 1962, but the connection of the community with this area dates at least from 1929, when Very Rev. Roger M. Charest, now provincial superior, gradu­ ated from the eighth grade of St. Anne's School in Fall River and entered the Montfort minor seminary. With him were three classmates, all of whom per­ severed until ordination. They are Rev. Flavius Gamache, Rev. Lionel Gamache and Rev. Regi­ nald Gilman. An 0 the r Fall Riverite who is a Montfort Father is Rev. Robert Canuel.

At the Taunton mission house of the community Rev. Clarence Murphy is superior. He is aided

by Rev. Hugh Munro and Rev. Donald LeClerc. The Fathers give parish missions' and re­ treats throughout the northeast­ ern United States and Father LeClerc is also vocational direc­ tor for the area.

The priests are busy "all the time," notes Father Charest and he hopes to assign additi<tnal men to the house in the future.

The energetic provincial !:las. just returned from a wo.rld­ girdling tour of missions he­ W 19ing to the American prov­ ince of the Montfort Fathers. It was his first such visitation. since his appointment as supe­ rior in 1961 and he will make a similar tour of the 13 United States foundations of the com­ munity before he reports t& Rome in May for a General Chapter of the Montfort Fathers.

Visits Home Father Charest was on a brief visit to his Fall River famity when he described his wodd tour. He has a slide and phono­ graph record of his journey and he indicated that it would be possible for groups to arrange showings of the material.

Highlights of his trip were visits to missions in Borneo anll Nyasaland and a journey to Ule ruins of Ephesus and the Marian abrine of Meryen Ana at Epfte­ ~ in Turkey.

The Montfort Fathers have seven mission posts in interior Borneo, said Father Charest.

"The missionaries -have ·to be

Buy Scouts all year," he noted.

There- Me no roads, with all travel. being by water, and when missionaries can't find lodgings with friendly jungle inhabitants they must sleep outdoors.

It was Father Charest's first tour of mission lands and the provincial declared him s elf "greatly edified by the spirit of the priests." He said that the people of Borneo are Dayaks or natives; Malayous, who are mainly Mohammedans and live in their own communities; and Chinese. The work of the Mont­ fort Fathers is primarily with the Dayaks who live in "long­ houses" sheltering 50 or 60 fam­ ilies.

"The government is trying to do away with these houses for reasons of morality and health," said Father Charest, "and the young people are starting to live in small individual houses."

There are no more headhunt­ ers. in Borneo, the provincial de­ clMecf., thus shattering a com­ mon illusion. In fact, it's "safe as New York City." "n's also a good deal more comfortable this time of year.

Borneo is right on the equator and has no seasons, said Father Charest. Its people "live off the forest," where all types of fruits and vegetables grow wild, and there' is no real necessity to work.

Universal Mourning Father Charest and his COM­ panion, Very Rev. Eugene J. Lynch, newly appointed regional superior of the Bernoo missions, were in Pontianak, capital city of the country, the day of Presi­ dent Kennedy's assassination.

"Everyone came to the Amer­ icans to offer sympathy," said Father Charest, adding that there was universal wonderment that such a thing could have happened in America, which beckons like a paradise to un­ derprivileged people all over the world.

The Fall River priest noted ·that three days of mourning were observed in Indonesia in triba.te to the late President.

"Sukarno wept when he an­ flOUnced the assassination," he said.

ConditioDIJ for MISSIonaries are exceptionally good in Indo-

nesia, he declared. "The govern­ ment pays anyone who teaches religion, and wants everyone to have some sort of faith." Su­ karno himself is a Moslem, but has been especially considerate of the Church, possibly, said Father Charest, because he was aided by missionaries several times during his early days.

Our Lady's House An unforgettable part of the tour for Father Charest was his visit to Meryem Ana, Our Lady's House at Ephesus. Tradition has it, he explained, that Our Lady lived with St. John at Ephesus for some time, and archeological discoveries seem to bear out the ancient belief.

The excavated ruins of what is believed to be Our Lady's House have become a shrine and Mont_ fort Fathers have been in charge of it for the past few years, tak­ ing over from the Little Broth­ ers of Charles de FoucauI. Although Mohammedanism, chief religion of Turkey, is tra­ ditionally bitterly opposed to Christianity, Moslems have, par­ adoxically, a great devotion to the Mother of God, said Father Charest. This is based on a pas­ sage in the Koran referring to Jesus and His Mother.

The Ephesus shrine draws some 200,000 visitors annually,

mainly Turks, and it ranks as one of the major tourist attrac­ tions in the country. The Turk­ ish government is even encour­ aging the Montfort Fathers in their plan to build a basilica at the site, said Father Charest.

Thousands visit the spot each Sunday, although there are no formal services and a dramatic example of the place our Lady holds i n Turkish hearts came Oct. 11, 1962, the day Pope John opened the Ecumenisal Council.

Council.

October 11 is the date ob­ served in Turkey as the anni­ versary of the proclamation of Our Lady as Mother of God by the Council of Ephesus in 431.

So overjoyed was the Moslem government by the coincidence of dates that it requested the Vatican to send a delegation to Ephesus for a special celebra­ tion. The Rome delegates were met by a government group and a joyouS observance took place, the first time in history that Moslems had official relations of a religious nature with the Cath_ olic Church.

"I suspect Pope John chose the date on purpose," chuckled Father Charest.

To Jesus through Mary The Montfort Fathers were founded in France in 1705 by

Louis de Montfort, a boy of peasant stock, second· oldest of 18 children. They are character­ ized by their emphasis on the place of Mary in the plan of redemption.

'The founder was canonized in 1947 by Pius XII and the phrase "to give all-to Jesus through Mary" is a capsule summary of his life, as is the epitaph on his tomb: "Traveller, what do you see? A light quenched, a man consumed by the fire of charity, who became all things to all men, Louis-Marie Grignon de Monfort. If you ask what was his life, there was none more holy; his penance, none more austere; his zeal, none more ardent; his devotion to Mary, none more like Bernard. A priest of Christ, he showed forth Christ in his ac­ tions and preached him every­ where in his words. Indefatiga­ ble, he rested only in his grave.

Father of the poor, protector of orphans, receiver of sinners, his glorious death was the image of his life. A he lived, so he died.

Ripe for God, he passed to heaven April 28th, 1716, aged 43 years.

Guide of the World

There were those who saw in the Pope's coronation ceremony only an archaic survival of another age when lofty language was esteemed even when it bore little or no resemblance to reality.

And yet, Pope Paul has said, his pilgrimage to the Holy Land brought to him another "dimension" of the office he holds.

The coronation liturgy called him "rectorem mundi­ guide of the world." And, the Pope said, "Not that this formula must be understood - that goes without saying - in the sense given it by the bygone epoch when it was conceived and in part applied. But it points out very well, beyond the historic and psychological changes, the permanent character of a mission that transcends all frontiers to embrace humanity, arid toward which humanity in certain privileged moments instinctively turns as toward the pole of unity, of truth, of longed-for peace."

The Pope pointed out that Pope John was seen by all men as such a guide of the world, as one whose goodriess and character made men love him and look to him for direc­ tion. And Pope Paul also said that his pilgrimage and the reception given it the world over have made him more aware of this dimension of his office.

The Pope embodies - and this is a fact that more and more men, both Catholic and otherwise, are giving voice to - the Pope 'embodies, as much as one man can, the highest moral and spiritual values. Now that the day of polemics in religion is over, the idea of the Pope as "guide of the world" seems not a far-fetched hope so much as a fact that men are willing to accept and, indeed, look for.

MONDAY-Mass of Sexages­ ima Sunday. Although it is evi­ dent, as our bishops tell us, that our public worship needs re­ form, and indeed that the Church must always be reform­ ing itself, the Christian muBt never allow himself to despair of the Church because of this fact.

Jesus tells us in the Gospel of the sower and Paul teaches us in the First Reading that despite the imperfection of the human instrument God's grace does save, God's grace alone saves.

But His grace may be impeded mysteriously in the very gift af freedom entrusted to us. Mass and the other sacraments of our public worship are so important because His normal saving action is through signs, sacraments, effective in proportion as they really speak to men's hearts and minds.

TUESDAY - St. Andrew Cor­ sini, Bishop, Confessor. The Council's constitution on the sa­ cred liturgy has emphasized the bishop's role as chief celebrant of Christian public worship. Our pastors and curates stand in His stead when they preside at Mass.

Today's Mass honors not only St. Andrew but also the office of the bishop, whose apostolic ministry is another bond of oneness for the people of God. The Mass should always remind us of our unity with the --ishop, our litur­ gist and teacher in Christ.

Fall River Council Fall River Particular Council of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will' meet at 8 Tuesday night, Feb. 4 at St. Michael's Church, Essex Street. Benedic­ tion will precede the meeting at 7:45.

Bishop John Wright of Pitt8­ burgh gave· the general tone when he said to hts subjecte= "'We shal~ await the commOll eounsel for the Church In Amer.­ ica. Any other procedure wout4 result in a hit or miss, spotty launching of a new chapter fa the liturgical life of the Univelt­ sal Church." other bishops have intensi­ fied their efforts in putting into effect now what has been urged by the Pope in past decades as far as the liturgy is concerned.

Thus there would be progl'eS8 with the coming of new decisione and not a shocking change.

The commission af bishoP8 appointed by their fellow bishops is hard at work.- There has a~ ready been "important progrE'SS» in choosing an English-Ianguap liturgy translation for use ia official worship in the United States.

Once the above commission has effected such a translation, it shall be presented to the U. S. bishops for their united appro~ a!. Then, a date shall be set on which the shift shall be made ill the entire country.

Auxiliary Bishop Owen :No Snedden, a representative of New Zealand on the interna­ tional bishops' committee said that the United States would probably begin using English for part of the Mass next May 17., Pentecost.

In general, all bishops are ap­ preciative of the work done by the council so far. There is a general worry that a solution must be found to the freedom­ time impass. This means, that more must be concretely decided by the council and yet the free­ dom of the Fathers must be guaranteed. No doubt, the Holy Father's second important docu­ ment will shed .much light OIl this problem and hopefully will present clear solutions.

Bishop Flanagan of Worcester., Mass. summarized the Fathers' views on the p.roblem in a r. . cent talk to an Ecumenical Con­ vocation in Worcester.

"We are on the 35-yard line.

The goal is in sight but there are many difficult yards ahead.­

But was it not Cardinal New­

man who said that a thousand

difficulties do not make one

one doubt?

Earlier the bishop had stated that "This council is unlike those of the past." PrevioUlt councils, he said, dealt with one or more specific problems con­ . fronting the Church "and thea they were done with it." Vatican II, however, has been called to deal with "a great complex of 20th century doctrinal, discipli­ nary and socio-economical prOb­ lems." (NC) At the same time, he said, aD of the world's nearly 2500 bish­ ops are entitled to speak, "an4 it seems at least one-half of them are taking advantage of the privilege." Many others "are growing a little bit impatient.

As Americans we are impatient to endless speeches * * *" The council has seen many impasses, "some of which seem due to the lack of specific procedural rules * * *" (NC) The Church is still thrilled by the Council and by the prospects of renewed and intensified Christian life it promises. Feb. 16 seems to be the symbol of such an excited love of Christ and the mission entrusted to the Church today.

Ecumenical Spirit At Maronite Rites

CHICAGO (NC) - ' ~en.

Hubert H. Humphrey. of Minnesota said here that the Catholic Church has a major role to play in securing the suc­ cess of the J .Iliance for Prog­ ress.

Humphrey, addressing the first' annual conference of the Catholic Tnter-American Cooper­ ation Program (CICOP), said the Church can do this in two ways: "Forming public opinion and thereby indirectly influencing those who make decisions in the government sector."

'By direct action through a vast r.etwork of schools, hospi­ tals and specialized institutions in the labor, charity and social fields."

In furtherance of the ecumen­ ical spirit widespread in the Church, Chor-Bishop Joseph Eid, pastor of St. Anthony of the Desert Maronite Rite Church in Fall River, celebrated Mass at St. Anne's Church and St. Michael's Church, both Fall River, in recent weeks.

Parishioners of the two Roman Rite churches received literature explaining points of difference in the Maronite celebration and Chor-Bishop Eid also addressed the congregations on the history of the rite.

He noted that Maronites are the strongest Catholic element in the Middle East and the only Eastern rite never separated from Rome. There are now 45 Maronite parishes in the United States, he said.

Of particular interest is the fact that the Maronite rite uses Aramaic, language spoken by Christ.

St. Anthony of the Desert's choir and organist accompanied the Chor-Bishop to the Roman rite churches.

Perhaps, but the incongruity of it all was rather startling.

Arriving home after the usual Saturday duties-cleaners, shop­ ping, minor repairs, we put the groceries away and prepared for a few relaxing moments before getting dinner.

The skirtls what stopped the show. "It's a drastic change," commented one still-stunned Sister. But vociferous objections were heard, believe it or not, from teen-agers attending Mercy high schools. in the Diocese.

They're happy in above-the­ knee skirts themselves, but are almost unanimously shocked at the idea of the Sisters changing a thread of their familiar habits.

Catholics Adopt Broad Program On Civil Rights LANSING (NC - A la­ point program on civil rights, including establishment of a Bishop's Commission on Hu­ man Relations in each of Michi­ gan's five dioceses, has been adopted by the board of direc­ tors of the Michigan Catholic Conference.

The statement sets down the commission's full support of racial equality and willingness to cooperate with other groups organized to assure equal oppor­ tunity under the U.S. Constitu­ tion. The commission is com­ prised of bishops, priests and leading Michigan laymen.

The Diocesan Human Rela-' tions Commissions would be composed of lay and clerical members appointed by the bish­ op of the diocese.

The board also declared that every major community should have "a strong and effective public human relations agency."

It said that the agencies are as important to the life of the com­ munity as the police and fire departments.

"They should be generously supported where they exist and established where they do not exist," members declared.

Housing Opportunities Conference b <> a r d members also urged support of a recently created Michigan Civil Rights' Commission and endorsed prin­ ciples of the President's Civil Rights program.

"The achievement of racial equality requires the active co­ operatlon of, all religious groups working together,'" the statement said. "We announce our willing­ ness jmd desire to work with flther major faiths through the establishment of local race and religiQn councils in the major cities of Michigan."

Catholics were urged to give active support to programs pro­ moting freedom of housing op­ portunities for all persons. The board said that "no Catholic, in good conscience, can sign peti­ tions or support laws or ordi­ nances that deny minorities a 'full and equal opportunity to secure desent homes on a non­ discriminatory basis."

Asserts PAVLA Chance to Share Christ's Role

11'

CHICAGO (N C ) - An­ swering L a tin America's needs gives North Ameri­ cans a chance "to share in Christ's enriching role and to find ourselves, thereby, en­ riched," Fat her Vincent J. Lovett said in the keynote ad­ dress to the first national coun­ cil of the Papal Y9lunteers :for Latin America.

Father Lovett is Kansas City­ St. Joseph, Mo., diocesan director of PAVLA, which recruits and trains laymen and women for service to the Church in Latin America. He is also executive editor of the Catholic Reporter, diocesan newspaper.

The PAVLA meeting here was attended by more than 1,500 P AVLA diocesan directors,. col­ lege representatives and leaders of lay mission organizations.

The Papal Volunteers program is currently sponsoring nearly 250 U.S. lay volunteers in 13 Latin American countries. More than 100 U.S. dioceses have P AVLA directors.

Father Lovett said some as­ sessments of the P AVLA pro­ gram have concluded "in disap­ pointment" that its accomplish­ ments "have been little," He agreed that "measurable results have been small."

Build Bridges "The sma 11 achievements, however, have been significant," he said.

He . described the P AVLA worker's job as that of building bridges "bridges of under­ standing and rapport and sup­ port, of communication and ex­ change, comprehension, identi­ fication and hope - none of which can be measured."

Many sto~es could be ,told about the human impact of the volunteers on the people among whom they work, he said. But, he added: "The stories * * * would all add up to one thing, . the volunteer's main work and principal function making Christ present in a concrete, sensible way, of bringing His' love to people who need love."

Miss Day also described the Church in Cuba as "the Church of the rich, of the well-to-do, the Church of the city and not of the country." Mexico's situa­ tion was similar, she said.

Miss Day, who edits the Cath­ oloc Worker magazine, said "I found that United States opposi­ tion to Cuba has united all Cubans together in opposing this force of the United States."

She said that nothing was going to stop Latin American countries going communist, nor end racial problems in the United States, but the "most en'-' lightened Christianity."

"The termination of Protestant domination and of the unofficial Protestant establishment was dramatically symbolized by the election of John F. Kennedy a-s the first Roman Catholic Presi. dent. Some writers describe the new situation as the post-Pmt­ estant era," the report said, "The rise of Catholicism in numbers, strength of organiza­ tion and influence to a position of new power has meant the end of the period of Protestant dom. ination," it said.

"The absorption of Catholi~ into the life of' the nation and Fe m 0 val 0 f discriminations against them in the political, economic and social spheres, coupled with effective leader­ ship and the internal strength flowing from the gradual eradi. cation of the old ethnic and na­ tional lines that divided Ameri­ can Catholicism, have resulted in giving Catholicism, although still a minority group numeri. cally, a new and powerful voice in American life and affairs," it added.

'Glorify God in Your Body'

Opposition to Minimum

Wage Laws Still Alive

God Love You

By Most Kev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D.

By Msgr. George G. Higgins .

Almost three score years ago the late Monsignor John A. Ryan, first director of the NCWC Social Action Depart­ ment, wrote his doctoral dissertation in moral theology at the Catholic University of America on the ethical, econo­ mic, and legal aspects of the Vidual, no longer counts any living wage. It was a land­ considerable number of adher­ mark in the field of social ents."

But why talk about imcient ethics. Published in book form by Macmillan in 1906 ander the title "A Living Wage," it was the first major study of ttlis subject in the English lan­ guage and one of the first publications in any language to advocate the es­ tablishment of • minimum wage by law.

MonsignoJ; Ryan was an objec­

tive scholar and,· by tempera­

ment, a hard-bitten realist who never blinked at the facts of life, never walked away from a

fight, and seldom underestimated

·the strength of the opposition.

Knowing full well that he was' • pioneer strugglng against enormOus odds in . the field of social justice, he waS not in the habit of counting his chickens before they were hatched.

By hindsight, however, it· would now appear that on at · least one occasion he permitted himself the lUXUry of being overly optimistic about' the rate · of social progress in the United States.

- In a revised edition of "A' Living Wage," pUblished in 1919, he concluded that, in prin­ eiple at least, the right of the State to enact minimum wage legis.lation had been almost uni. · versally accepted. .. . '. "All the signs of the times," " he confidently stated; "pomt" to . ..• rapid extension of minimum 'Wage legislation in all civilized countries. For the principle that ·wages ought not to fall bel.ow .the level of decent living is now aU but universally· recognized; the principle that it is It proper function of the State to protect the worker against such injustice is likewise quite generally ac­ cepted·· ."

In the late '30s, as he vigor­ .usly tried to counteract the all. .ut efforts that were then being made to block the enactment of the Fair Labor Standards Act­ the first Federal minimum wage wage law, and Ii very limited .ne at that - Monsignor Ryan andoubtedly would have been' · ihe first to admit that he had been much too sanguine when · be stated, 20 years eariier, that . the "baneful heritage of the 18th eentury, the doctrine that a .minimum of State regulation· of

The fact is that even today, almost 60 years after the Sister Winifred publication· of Monsignor Ryan's classic treatise on the ethics of the living wage, the "baneful heritage of the 18th century" is still very much alive, as witness a recent blast in the Wall Street Journal, not against this or that Sister Mary Winifred Whelan, provision of a particular mini­ R.S.M., at present stationed at mum wage law, but against the St. John the Baptist School, New very principle of minimum wage Bedford, has celebrated the gold_ legislation as such. en anniversary of her religious "Far from being a right," the profes~ion in the Sisters of Journal editorialized on Jan. 14, Mercy.

Modern man 6ften is not worried about his soul, principaUy because he forgets that he has a soul to save. But he is tremendously interested in his body . We who have the Faith, on the other hand, often do not rightly value its service to God. What better proves this than what we might call "outside-the-body phibn­ thropy," or the postponement of generosity' until after death? It has been said that what we give away during life is gold, but after death is lead, for bony fingers and cold hands lack that warmth which is essential to love. Does the covetousness and avarice which keeps all treasures until death really cease to be less real in a mortuary? It is one thing to wait until death to provide for relatives and dependents, but does death have to hold us up by the heels to shake charity to the poor out of our pockets?

One way to wisely provide lor one's necessities and al. e.

Charge Strong. Red Influence

In Zanzibar's New Regime

::".' DAR ES SALAAM. (N'C)-

o

The revolutionary regime' that. overthrev independent Zanzibar's month-old government is ;strongly influenced by communism, especially by the Chinese Reds, according to well informed sources here.

They point to the close communist ties of the new Foreign and Defense Minister, Abdul Rahman Mohammed; to the arrest of U. S. diplomats and newsmen; to reports that Cuba. trained fighters took part in . the rebellion; to the new Red" style name for their country ,chosen by the revolutionary ,leaders, the People's Republic "'of Zanzibar; to the violent denunciation of the U. S. by new : President Abeid Karume; to the almost immediate recognition of . the revolutionary regime by the . Soviet Union, East Germany and othe communist countries; to the arrival in Zanzibar of a corresPondent of the New China News Agency . only two days before.

the· Coup; and to the fact that even before the coup Zanzibar was the center from which much Red' Chinese propaganda was smuggled into the countries of East Africa.

Missionaries here point out that while a Red takeover would be a blow to the Church in Zan­ zibar, it would affect only a relative handful of Catholics.

Although Zanzibar was the center from which much of East Africa was evangelized 100 years ago, the Church was never able to make much headway in Zan­ zibar itself, which is more than 95 per cent Moslem. The country has only 2,500 Catholics in a total population of about 300,000.

There are fewer than 500 Prot­ estants.

It has a racially mixed popu­ lation which includes 229,000 Africans, 37,000 Arabs, 18,000 Indians and 500 Europeans. Most of the Catholics are Africans from the mainland 'andGoans from India. .

Mater~!Dlism,

Snobbishness Ameri;:a's Ideals Today

By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. If you look back. to the beginnings of our lovely country, you'll find that it wasn't founded on the basis of some phony aristocracy. It was, rather, founded by people who were trying to get away from such pretense.

And our break for indepen• ' dence had the same motives imitating them, A youngster's assessment of parental love is, in behind it. We wanted a fact, in propOI;tion to the amount democracy, a land where all spent' on him on the occasion of men are given equal opportuniUes. Nor was America founded on materialism. '.

Utopia. The i r

id e a was ~a

"nation under

- God," where men would practice DOt just the reasonableness of !the natural equality of man, but the supernatural charity of lov­ log men in God as well.

Even Goal of Peaee As time went on, though, the Mights of snobbishness and ma­ terialism engulfed our land, so Claat today we have come to con­ eentrate more and more on ex­ elusively materialistic "ideals," trying to divorce our public life and even our children;s educa­ tion from the slightest mention elf the name of God. Freedom of speech in our land bas come to mean that we can mention any sort of smut pub­ licly, but that we dare not men­ tion the name of God publicly.

Our goals are, for the most part, concerned with material comfort. Even our commendable goal of world peace has come to mean comfort and material se­ eurity rather than the "peace on earth" which God promises "to men of good will," the inner peace that can only come from dealing with men because they are the images of God. If any single external charac­ tteristic is unique to America to­ day, it is her mp.terial ambition. ·Success" to most Americans­ beginning with the adults and naturally filtering down to their imaginative offspring-is mate­ rial comfort; security, ease and pleasure.

Our national concept of "suc­ cess"· rarely touches on genu­ ine success at all, the fulfillment of ~'s creative purpose for us.

Little Woman Drives Our male adults get ulcers in ftleir nervous climb over the other candidates for the vice. presidency of their company. As has been said so well, behind every man is a woman, and the little woman drives this poor etimber, not just to the com­ muter train, but towards the top of the snob heap as well.

America may have been founded on the equality of man and as an escape from a phony aristocratic system, but we seem 110 be substituting one set of phony values for another, cre­ ating an "aristocracy" founded, DOt on birth, but on wealth and material success.

You hear wives bragging, rath_ er subtly of course, about their husband's material success. And J'-Ou hear the kids, not SO subtly,

rival dressed like an adult and dating like one as well, her seventh-grade ':laughter is read­ ied for the :Il3rket too.

Mother ..vill never allow her­ self to believe that early dating is morally dangerous or psycho­ logically harmful, not because she doesn't suspect the damage, but because the "greater good" of the family's social prestige and upward climb binds her to it.

Source of Temptation Somewhere along the line, the Jones boy's parents buy him a gorgeous new car for his 16th birthday. Mom and Pop may have heard that a car will, nine times out of la, become the great­ est source of Junior Jones' moral difficulties, but they close their eyes to it, telling themselves blandly that Junior is just dif­ ferent.

In his honest moments, of course, Junior will tell almost anyone but his par¢nts that the car is his greatest source of temptation.

Susie can't be limited to one good formal either, because then she couldn't "compete" with the girls who can afford, or at least have, a new one for every dance.

Often enough, her formal can't even be very modest, because Brainless Beverly's strapless might then distract the boys from Susie.

It's sad enough that American adults have to waste their lives in the pursuit of goals they'll have to leave behind, at least when they die, but it's tragic that youth must be infected with the same disease.

True American Spirit This mad rush for prestige, comfort, display, and the emu­ lation of one's neighl:ior is a contradiction to the genuine spirit of America. It is also a contradiction to God's plan for man, and to Christ's philosophy of life.

Our true American spirit is that of the brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of God. It is not supposed to entail rivaling each other so much as helping each other.

And only in humility, not in pride, will we Americans ever fulfill ourselves, either as indi­ viduals or as a nation.

• Turns Up In Holland Bogus Knights of Columbus Oath Creates New Controversy AMSTERDAM (NC) - The hoary, bogus "oath" of the Knights of Columbus, which a U.S. House of Representatives com mit tee characterized as "false," "libelous," and "spuri­ ous" as long ago as 1913, has created a new controversy in Holland.

De Volkskrant; Catholic daily newspaper here, published an article by columnist Godfried Bomans taking to task the lib­ eral daily, Nieuwe Rotterdamse Courant, for printing an article by a Dutch minister quoting from the so-called "oath."

The minister, the Rev. G. Taverne of Hoogeveen, wrote in the Rotterdam paper shortly after the assassination of Presi­ dent Kennedy. He stated that Mr. Kennedy was a friend .of Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston, adding that the Cardinal is closely connected with the Knights of Columbus - "who are very dangerous enemies of Protestantism."

Mr. Taverne backed up his as­ sertion by quoting the alleged Knights' promise to "hang, burn and strangle" all Protestants.

Diocesan Men Pl,ay Important Role - At First National PAVLA Council Continued from Page One were so intent upon bringing Christ and His love to the na­ tions.

Our own diocesan newspaper, The Anchor, was simgled out because of its continous coverage of the problems of the Church in Latin America.

Father Albert Nevins, M.M., dircctor of the Catholic Press Association in New York, criti­ . cized the lack of coverage given to this most important topic by many Catholic newspapers in this country, but we were proud to hear that the efforts of The Anchor to obtain complete eoverage of all Church problems was recognized.

One of the displays contained • full page of The Anchor's picture story of the work of the papal volunteers in Latin America. ' Vital to Ch~rch . ,The Catholic Inter-American Coo per a t ion Program was launched' in '1963 by the U.S. Bishops' Committee for Inter­ Am"rican 'Cooperation. Its aim is to bring .U.S. and Latin Ameri­ can Catholics together in mutual understanding and friendship based on the principle that, re­ gardless of social or economic circumstances of life, Christian peoples, indeed all peoples, should know and accept one an-, other as children of God. This program is vital to the Church in its master plan to recognize its proper relations to the Church in Latin America.

The fact is that most U.S. Catholics, like their fellow citi­ zens, possess an inadequate un­ derstanding of the 200 million Latin Americans with whom they share this hemisphere. In place of facts - historical, social and religious - we have too often cherished m y t h sand sterotypes.

False Impressions "The Latins are backwat·d." we hear it said." They won't practice their religion." "They're lazy."

Such false though all too fami­ liar impressions prevent our coming to grips with the real Latin America. Too often we lack an understanding of how each continent substantially in­ fluences the life of the other.

This inhibits even our well­ intentioned attempts to labor together with the Latin Ameri­ can peoples in resolving the common problems of our hemis­ phere.

The Catholic press has merited well the confidence of the Vati­ can council. In faithfully trans­ mitting its news; it has given the world a new viSion of the uni­ versal love which is in the Church of Christ. In the ful­ fillment of this great function it has become the leader instead of the follower of the secular jour­ nals. They have' eagerly made use of the Catholic press services and candidly expressed their gratitude for this help.

Through continuing dedica­ tion and ever-increasing techni. cal skill, the Catholic journalists and the readers of the Catholic press will join hands as mission­ aries of that truth and that love which seeks, announces, and promises to anxious humanity a new age of justice, security, freedom, and peace.

,Episcopalian Prelate Urges People Review Attitude Toward Catholics little to do with each other-yet we know it is true," Bishop Mos_ ley said.

"The gulf between us is im­ mense, and after all these years of separation, it is a matter for surprised and joyful thanksgiv­ ing that we are now able to come closer. ' "But we have a long way to

go," Bishop Mosley continued.

"To reach over the barriers that

separate us, to begin understand.

in~ each other, w~ shall, be re­ qUl~ed toen~age III earnest alt­ .pralsal of theIr house and of our own, .and ~e believe that is what God IS callmg uu to do." .(o;'~
