VATICAN CITY (NC) Pope Paul VI has said no, publicly and unmistakably, to the Dutch bishops' equally public request for a new look at priestly celibacy.

Following his statement given to the people during his public blessing on Sunday, the Pope in an unusual form-a letter to the Vatican's secretary of state -clarified his stand.

To allowing priests to marry, the Pope clearly said "no". To allowing married men to be ordained priests, the Pope hinted "with grave reservations" that he would discuss it with the . bishops of the world.

He clearly reminded' the Dutch bishops of their responsibilities not alone at home but in the universal Church. He wondered "with humility and sincerity" whether he too--as Pope-had "some part in the responsibility" in bringing about the present tension in the Church.

The Pontiff's clear decision terminated his letter: "With a \ decision taken after mature ex-' amination, we clearly affirm our duty not to allow that the priestly ministry may be practiced by those who after having set their hand to the plow, have turned back."

The Pope said that to his knowledge only "a small number" of priests want to marry.

His solution, he said, is to grant them dispensation from the obli- . gation of celibacy but to forbid

Revised Liturgy Calendar Key to New Mass 'Order WASHINGTON (NC)-A key to the proper use of the new Order of Mass is the revised liturgical calendar, which became effective Jan. 1.

Father Messier, who has served at St. Jean B~ptiste Church in Fall River as well as in the New Bedford parish, is the son of Elphege and Leona (Guillemette) Messier of Pawtucket, R. I.

newed emphasis is given to the Paschal Mystery celebrated each Sunday and most solemnly in Holy Week and on. Easter.

Fewer feasts displace the Sunday celebration.

But there are some simplifications and changes.

For example, Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima Sundays are dropped. Paschaltide extends from the Easter Vigil until Pentecost. The Octave of Pentecost is eliminated. The Feast of Christ the King is placed on the last Sunday before Advent. Advent is now a preparation for both the feast of Christmas and the Second Coming of Christ.

For those who are familiar with the old calendar, new terminology has been introduced: Feast of I Class becomes Solemnity; there are 10.

Feast of II Class becomes Feast; there are' 23.

Feast of III Class becomes Obligatory Memorial, 63, or Optional Memorial, 95.

Pope Paul has called on all Bishops throughout the world to come' out openly in support of his celibacy stand.

CARDINAL AlFRINK

He suggested the only change he would be willing to consider would be to allow married men of mature age and good reputation to be ordained priests in some areas of the world where there are extreme shortages of priests.

He stressed, however, "grave reservations" about making such a change and expressed worry over whether it would be possible to limit the change to local cases of extreme necessity.

If such a change were to come, the Pontiff added, it would have to be done by the decision of the bishops throughout the world acting in union with him. He called on all bishops to openly back him in this regard.

The Pope ordered the bishops of Holland under Cardinal AIfrink to revise their stand against the celibacy rule for priests.

He said it was indispensable for the Dutch bishops, priests and laymen to change "such a grave attitude cQntrary to the holy laws. in effect in our Latin Church."

The Pope reaffirmed "what we have already declared and many times repeated" and stated he found the Dutch bishops' arguments "not convincing." He bid them reconsider "in prayer and charity." Furthermore, the Pope Turn to Page Two

The plan proposes that students would spend part of their time under Catholic auspices learning subjects with a religious orientation and the other part of their time under public school auspices learning secular subjects.

The present crisis has been

brought about by the inability of ~ri~~ ~ wwort ~ri~ schools without some form of outside aid.

Men, Women To Distribute Communioll1

Criticism Widens Toward Du'tch OSNABRUECK (NC)-A West German bishop has joined Alfred Cardinal Bengsch of Berlin in expressing concern over the action of the Dutch bishops in supporting the Dutch National Pastoral Council in urging optional celibacy for priests and that priests who have married be permitted to return to their ministry.

At a press conference here, Bishop Helmut Hermann Wittler· of Osnabrueck declared that dissociation of celibacy from the priesthood would threaten "profound spiritual poverty'! for the Church. He said the sense and symbolic content of celibacy can be understood only by faith and the evaluation of onetime voluntarily accepted obligation.

Basis The bishop deplored what he called the inadequacy of theological argumentation involved in current discussions on celibacy and called it irresponsible to advance solutions to the celibacy question on an emotional basis.

Bishop Wittler said that since 1965 of the 821 diocesan and Religious priests of his diocese only nine have left the priesthood.

In the Limburg diocese, two groups are at odds over the ac- . tions of the Dutch council. The diocesan assembly, a group that corresponds to a pastoral council elsewhere, sent a telegram of commendation to Bernard Cardinal Alfrink of Utrecht. But a society of priest-theologians in Limburg deplored the telegram. saying that the true feeling of Catholics in Limburg was of shock at the Dutch deliberations.

African Clergy Back Celibacy

DUBUQUE (NC) - The archdiocese of Dubuque has announced the appointment of 49 women and laymen as "extraordinary ministers" tor the distribution of Communion.

The 49 named by Archbishop James J. Byrne include five nuns and three laywomen, one Religious Brother, a seminary student and 39 laymen. Others are being considered.

The laymen. including bankers, insurance salesmen, college professors and farmers.

A chancery spokesman said permission for non-ordained persons to distribute the Eucharist was given because of the large number of Communions in many parishes in the archdiocese and the shortage of priests in others.

This is the first time such permission has been granted in Iowa.

Upsurge An "upsurge" in Communions at Immaculate Conception parish in Cedar Rapids, for instance, prompted Father Roger O'Brien, pastor, to submit the names of 19 parishioners for extraordinary minister status.

The distribution of Holy Communion is usually limited to priests and deacons. Now. businessmen. engineers, teachers. salesmen, attorneys, a fireman and busdriver, pharmacists and other laymen, in addition to lay women and religious Sisters. will share in that privilege. The extraordinary status will apply with the geographical boundaries of the parishes in which the appointed ministers pow live.

The 49 minextraordinary, ministers will serve in 16 of the archdiocese's 201 parishes. .

Ask Continued T ax Exempt Status Stresses Value of Cathol ic Institutions PHILADELPHIA (NC) - The contribution made by Catholic schools and charitable in!ltitu, tions is,:'huge, compared .to the tax-revenue lost byexemptions;" two lay, officials of. the Philad!!lphia archdiocese' told ,state legislators here.

Testifying before a House of Representatives committee investigating tax exemptions for religious, educational and charitable institutions, William D. Valente, president of the archdiocesan board of education said: "Any curtailment of tax exempt status of real estate used for educational purposes by the diocesan school system would seriously affect the already critical financial conditions of this system."

Noting that 257,000 children are in the See's elementary and secondary schools, Valente noted: "The preservation of our school system today is dependent on the increased sacrifice of our Catholic' people. Our community would be the loser if any action by the state in the area of tax exemptions should discourage this will to sacrifice or depress the enthusiasm to, continue."

Charitable Projects "Without adverting to all of the implications which taxation of Church property suggests at a time when there is such insistence upon the independence of religion from state control," Valente said, "the practical consideration is apparent - that

LONDON (NC)A veteran Jesuit missionary and archbishop in Africa rejected a British newspaper suggestion that an easing of the Church's celibacy ruling would encourage the recruiting ot priests on the continent.

Archbishop Adam Kozlowiecki, S.J., retired Ordinary of Lusaka" Zambia, said in a letter to the Times, national daily newspaper: "There is no widespread demand for a relaxation of the law of celibacy for the clergy in the Roman Catholic Church in Africa." .

The Times in un editoral on the celibacy dispute in the Dutch Church had said: "This is not the first time that a section of the Roman Catholic Church has questioned the principle of priestly celibacy which, in its effect on recruitment of priests, poses more of a problem for the Church in Africa and elsewhere in the underdeveloped world than in Europe."

Archbishop Kozlowiecki. now living in Rome, told the T~mes: "Before I resign!ld from the See of Lusaka in order to enable the appointment of a· .bQrnZambian archbishop in June, 1969, I asked privately the African priests in the archdiocese of Lusaka whether they would advise men to vote for a relaxation of the existing laws on celibacy in case the matter was brought up by the Holy See or by the bishops' conference. Not one of the African priests advised me to vote for any relaxation,"

Ca:ufions' SeUers Of Church Art ST. ,HYACINTHE' (NC)-"Buy low, sell high," is the current expression among those trafficking in religious art in Quebec.

The St. Hyacinthe diocese, through its newsletter to pastors, has advised priests that any sale of religious art must be authorized by the diocesan commission in this field.

With the present emphasis on simplicity in churches, paintings and sculptures from many Quebec churches are being bought up at dirt-cheap prices and resold to so-called "antique dealers."

Those dealers, in turn, offer .the works to the Quebec Museum at "astronomical prices."

tional Conference of Catholic Bishops said he wanted "to assure my Jewish brothers that they are not alone in their anxiety and concern" over Israel's situation, "You are concerned about the recent shift of United States policy vis a vis Israel," Father Edward H. Flannery told representatives of the American Jewish community, "as, I am too." He addressed delegates at a National Emergency Conference on Peace in the Middle East here.

Leaders of the American Jew- -' is community were' also worried that discussions on the Middle Eas't between the U.S., Soviet Union, Britain and France might prevent direct Arab-Israeli talks.

Result of these concerns was the two-day emergency conference attended by over 1,000 leaders of U.S. Jewish organizations and communities.

"Some critics say this is a political matter and not one for the' church or the clergy," Father Flannery told the delegates.

"I do not see it this way. Anything that has to do with the survival of a nation and with peace is no merely political matter; it is a moral one in the truest sense of the word."

He expressed sympathy for the plight of (:\isplaced Arab refugees and agreed that Israel, the U.N. and the world community should do more for them, but said . he was - "suspicious" of ':many of those .who shed copi'o~~ l~ears f9r Arab refugees but never fail to turn that problem into a' big stick with which to beat Israel."

Fortas Cautions Against Danger To Freedoms SEATILE (NC)-Abe Fortas, former U. S. Supreme Court justice, says the American public must be vigilant lest, in the name of law and order, some minimal benefits be derived in anti-crime efforts at the cost of major, basic safeguards of freedom.

Speaking before an overflow audience at Seattle University's first Modem America Lecture Series Fortas conceded certain recent U. S. Supreme Court rulings perhaps "made the' job of the police more difficult."

Historical Basis But, he added, one of the first acts of this country's founding fathers was to enact legislation which restricts police powers.

Christ's trial before Pilate, Fortas noted, was the historical basis for U. S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment, which provides that a person need not testify in such cases as he believes he might incriminate himself.

Fortas feels U. S. Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell's broad interpretation of the "emergency" clause in the wire tap section of the Omnibus Crime Bill could lead to infringement of that amendment Seeking Guarantees Commenting on the "No Knock" clause in the crime bill now before Congress - which would permit law enforcement officers to break into a home without warning - Fortas expressed serious doubt as to its constitutional ity.

"Freedom," he said, "is not lhe sturdy thing we Ame~icans often believe it to '!$e," implying It can be eroded by laws, well meant but basically restrictive of the citizen's rights and privileges.

The country now is in the middle of a social revolution, Fortas declared, sparked by the blacks' vigorous 'drive to attain guarantees of liberty, equality and opportunity promised more than 100 years ago.

'Never Be the Same' "The blacks have spearheaded this revolution," he observed, "but like all revolutions, it has outdistanced its innovators. The white youth, est>ecially those on campuses across the country, seeing the 10-million hungry in the world's most affluent nation, seeing men deprived of their rights as citizens because of their color, seeing grave miscarriages of justice before the law, . are continuing that revolution," He emphasized:.

"America will never be the 'lame,"

The civil rights issue has been a harsh and bitter one . and men of justice and good will are pleased at the grE~at ':. and needed progress that. has been made.while not yet ...... satisfied that all that should be done has been done. But i the matter is well off the ground.

The Vietnam war has been another issue that has polarized the country and now the~e seems to be a little hope that the United States is working its way honora1:?ly out of the ·situation. i There has been in recent months the feeling in colleges and universities that reason must take the place of violence and the tactics of those who destroy apd rampage have been all too reminiscent of a Hitler youth gone wild to win sympathy from the majo'rity for tI)is kind of demonstration. , The fear of a recession hangs over the country apd . :::.' inflated pnces in the stores have added to· the· fears :of the people. . .

"Central medical record keeping will be necessary to pro~' vide a health data pool and avoid the waste'. of repetitious history, physieal examinations arid laboratory studies 'with each hospital' admission," he asserted. : "There is and will be for a . decade' to; come a crisis in· the' delivery of medical care or the merchandising of medicine," Dr. Nix predicted. . . .

Dr. Nix stated: "Medical professorsand me!Jical students must learn that common disease, rather than interesting cases, are the ones to be seen and prevented to maintain an increased production rate for America.

Priority in Therapy "Doctors will come to be citizens first and physicians second," he predicted.. "Health is a' community affair, medicine is for the people, not the people for medicine, The vanishing cavalier or general practitioner of the former era gave his life to get patients well."

Dr. Nix asserted that "only extensive chang~s in state and federal. law can change the pres"

choice, it is not consistent in the case of narcotic addicts. "Heroin addicts are poor, sick Americans, shunned by' private physician and hospital alike, and their care by governmental agencies made m~ndatory,". he said.

Among Catholic medical groups, there is a need for ,"teamwork," Dr. Nix emphasized. "There seems to be a desperate need for the formation of correlating Catholic groups involved in the health field to. develop the mechanics for a coordinated program for preventive health care.

"Catholic medicine should stand ,for something more than good medicine with good' research _ tti.e added ingredient would seem to be visible, overflowing love of fellowman."

Plan' to Revitalize Project Equality MINNEAPOLIS (NC)-Representatives of most of Minneso-ta's 17 participating church groups agreed to take steps toward revitalization' of the twoyear-old Project Equality, which aims to promote fair employment practices by mobilizing church spending.

Project Equality here had been dormant for the past year because o~ a shortage of funds, Father Edward J. Flahavan, state chairman, said: However, he added, major church sponsors of the program recently raised contributions significantly an9 financing is no longer a concern.

Continued from Page One is there a prescribed Mass, or less than half of the liturgical year. On the other days there is a wide variety of options Solemnities are reserved for Feast Days of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and important saints, such as SS. Peter and Paul, Obligatory feasts are reserved for well-known, high-ranked saints, such as the other apostles, Mass must be dedicated to the saint of that day, unless there is conflict with a nation's patron saint or a local saint of importance in a particular area.

Obligatory memorials require that every priest at least make a commemoration of the saint of the day at Mass and in the recitation of the Breviary, although the Mass itself may be dedicated to some other purpose or saint.

Optional Memorials must allow for a recommended but not compulsory prayer to a particular saint. On these days a priest can select either the Mass of the weekday or the Mass of the saint or the Mass of the commemoration of a saint, or of some saint occurring in the MartyrOlogy, or a Votive Mass.

Finally, ferials. On weekdays throughout the year the priest can. choose the Mass of the weekday, \or that of some saint occurring in the day's martyrology, or a Mass for a particular purpose or a Votive Mass, Specific Changes The first change comes Jan. I, tradi.tionally the Holy Day called the Feast of the Circumcision, which' has now been removed from the calendar. In its place is a feast dedicated to "Mary, Mother of God." On Feb. 11, a new feast will make its appearance (in 1971), the'·~east of ~he' Appariti9ns of the:"Virgin J/Motllel",':::which' will honor j'all' tlfe'apparitibnsof fhe Virgin at all times. In' 1970, the feast falls on Ash Wednesday, so it will not be celebrated.

The Feast of the Annunciation, formerly honoring the Virgin Mother, now honors Christ and is called the Feast of the' Annunciation of Christ, In 1970 it will be celebrated on April 6, but thereafter have a fixed date.

Because it is considered a duplication of the Feast of the Birth of Mary, the Feast of the Name of Mary has been removed from the calendar Pre-planning Urgent What is immediately obvious in. the new liturgical calendar is that very few saints .have been dropped from it because of questioned historical fact. None has been demoted. But there is more . flexibility in adapting the calendar to the popular saints of a particular nation or region or to special occasions. Fewer saints days are to be c~lebrated by the Universal Church.

The variety of 'choices now available make pre-planning even of weekday Masses urgent.

In making a choice, the priest "must consider the common spiritual good of the community, rathcr than his own particular needs" (Ordo Missae).

Ideally, the particular worshipping community ought to be involved' in the decision-making process. "The priest should take special care that he does not omit the assigned lessons in the Lectionary for weekdays very often or without sufficient reason, For the Church desires that the faithful will be more fully enriched at the table of the Word of God" (Ordo Missae).

Donald Pelletier, La Salette missioner who has served on the Indian Ocean TRENTON (NC) - The delegate assembly of the New Jersey Education Association is opposed to state

assistance to non-public schools.

"The NJEA continues to support the position that the distribution of public monies shall be limited to public schools," the Garden State unit asserts in a resolution it has adopted.

"If additional school assistance is to be made available by the state, the group feels it should go to help local school districts meet problems l>resented by the closing of private and parochial schools.

Three Reasons Emergency assistance, it suggested, could be given to enable local public school districts to buy th~ land, buildings and equipment of private schools which are forced to shut down.

Such assistance, the assembly believes, could also be used to pay the salaries of qualified teachers from such schools taken into the public school system.

The three rea'sons for opposing aid to non-public schools are: Public schools are already facing a financial crisis, particularly in urban areas and this would divert money from them.

Two educational systems with identical facilities are a luxury that New Jersey is unable to afford.

Aid to private schools would encourage racial and religious segregation.

Pending Proposals The resolution does not mention any specific type of assistance to non-public schools but bills providing direct financial assistance to parents and the loan of textbooks have been introduced in the legislature' the last three years. The directassistance proposal is before the legislature again and proponents expect some action this year.

The assembly resolution suggests that public school districts ought to formulate plans for absorbing students from private schools in the event that private schools in the area should be forced to close.

gations of priests may hold administrative posts and become councilors of such congregations, according to a decree of the Holy See. The decree specified that the" aaministrative posts held by lay Brothers "not have a direct relation to strictly priestly ministry."

Lay Brothers may hold the post of councilor "at any level."

The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Religious, dated Nov. 27 and published in the Dec. 10 issue of the Acta Apostolicae Se dis, pointed out that some clerical institutes had already had special provisions concerning non-clerical memo bers and their rights to office.

Another decree of the same congregation issued on the same date empow,ared provincial superiors of congregations of lay Religious to dispense Religious from temporary vows upon the request of the Religious and with the consent of the provincia! council.

Wound Sensitive To,ts By 'Joseph and Marilyn R.oderick

CINCINNATI (NC) - Sisters of the Good Sherpherd have reaffirmed commitment to protective work for young persons and adults bilt have modified their structure to allow wider participation in decision-making.

Sister Mary Clare Neudecker, ,. provincial superior of the Cincinnati province, says the major accomplishment of the recent general chapter in Angers, France, is embodied in the redraft of the constitution and statutes of the congregation "to .highlight the special apostolic commitment of the Sisters and the organization of their lives to help them fulfill this commit-ment in today's world." '.

As a result of action by the delegates, all major congregation offices will be filled by an election process. Moreover, decisions will be made at the provincial level concerning appointment of delegates to the provincial chapter, the program of formation and the development of new forms and new directions in the apostolate within the scope of the congregation's mission, Sister Mary Clare said.

Luthera ns Favor Church Attack On Poverty' NEW YORK (NC)-Com-

mitment of churches to "u radically new approach to poverty" which holds that ."poverty need not be, indeed, must not be in our society. and must be eliminated" has been proposed here at the fourth annual meeting of the USA Lutheran Council.

Supported by background study and other resource material, a position paper. "The Elimination of Poverty," sets forth 10 specific affirmations and a seven-point "call to the churches and their people."

The region has about 2,200 priests, of which 400 were in-' vited to the first Northeast Priests' Regional Congress. Cardinal Sales claimed that only 35 attended.

"Let us place such a congress in its proper, proportion," the' cardinal added. "No one can_ claim that it was truly representative of the Northeast clergy's views.... .

Applications for construction of the new church had been submitted periodically since 1955 but in 1968, under its new policy of Church-state reconciliation the Sudan government approved the application and granted the land for the church.

vATICAN CITY (NC)-In answer to 70 European intellectuals who had protested against alleged tortures of political pris· oners in Brazil, the president of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace said that "we cannot remain deaf to appeals of Christian consciences reacting justly against the attacks and violations in many countries against the rights of the human person."

The commISSIOn president, Maurice Cardinal Roy of Quebec, added in his letter that the commission abstains from making political judgments, but at the same time it tries to keep the entire Church alert to its duties toward the world.

He addressed his reply to Mrs. Marcella Glisenti, secretary of the Italian committee of an organization called "Europe-Latin America."

Early in January Mrs. Glisenti had presented to the peace and justice commission a dossier on police tortures in Brazil, and an appeal from prominent persons, among them Daniel Mayer, president of the League of the Rights of Man, the Rev. Charles Westphal, president of the French Protestant Federation, and Father Michel Riquet, S.J... noted French preacher.

Approves Optional Education Program CINCINNATI (NC)-The Cincinnati archdiocesan school board has approved an optional family life and sex education program for Catholic elementary schools in the archdiocese.

A spokesman said the decision whether to adopt the program "should be made cooperatively by the pastor, school staff and parents of 'the pupils" in each school involved.

The spokesman said the pro· gram is intended to supplement instruction given in the home and no school may offer it until the school's teachers have attended a teacher-training course in family life and sex education and received certification from the archdiocesan board.

Score Proposals In Puerto Rico

·BALTIMORE (NC)-Cancellation of the 1970 niturgical week by the board of directors of the National Liturgical Conference will give members more time to devote to liturgical publications, according to Father Joseph M Connolly, conference president.

Pointing out it takes about four months of planning to organize a liturgical week, Father Connolly believes conference members will welcome the additional time this year to further the .publication thrust.

Homily Service The conference president cited "basic organizational problems," particularly financial difficulties, as the reason for the cancellation of t.his year's liturgical week. This is the first time in 30 years the conference will not sponsor a liturgical week.

Father Connolly contrasted the decline in interest in the liturgical weeks in recent years while the conference membership has reached an all-time high of 9,600.

He pointed out that the conference's liturgical publications are playing a greater role in people's lives.

The conference publishes a homily service for 4,300 priests.

It is estimated, Father Connolly said, that this service is reaching 12 per cent of the Mass-going population in the United States.

Declining Attendance Father Connolly declined to speculate whether cancellation of the 1970 liturgical week would mean an .end to all f\lture liturgical weeks.

"We did not make a decision about the future beyond 1970, that's an open-ended question," he said.

The last two liturgical weeks -in Washington in 1968 and in Milwaukee last year-resulted in financial deficits. Attendance both years declined. About 1,650 attended the 1969 meeting.

Peak period for attendance, Father Connolly said, was reached in 1963 in Philadelphia and in 1964 in St. Louis when about 12,000 registered.

Past Controversy Controversy marked both of the last two liturgical weeks.

Emphasis, was placed on social issues such as justice, poverty, and peace as related to worship In both years the weeks were sponsored by the conference it· self without the assistance of the local dioceses. And in both in. stances the conference did not seek the approval for the 'weeks from the archbishops of Washington and Milwaukee.

INTERVIEWS PATRIARCH: Melkite-Rite Patriarch Maximos V Hakim of Antioch, on a tour of Melkite-rite Catholic communities in North and South America, is interviewed by John Maher of the NC News Service staff. NC Photo.

.Says Mid-East Peace .Prospects Poor Patriarch Says Israel Stronger Than Arabs WASHINGTON (NC) - "There are no good prospects of peace in the Middle East," a prelate from that area said here.

This is so, Melkite·rite Patriarch Maximos V Hakim of Antioch told NC News Service" because one of the two opposing parties is too strong. "Israel," he said, "is much stronger than the Arabs and does not think it should make concessions to peace."

J'he patriarch visited here during a tour of Melkite-rite communities in North and South America. In a terse answer to a question about his view on Israel's right to exist as a state, he replied: "Israel exists. There is no point in discussing its existence."

He stressed, however, what he called the irony of Israel's relationship to the United Nations.

Israel, he said "is the only' country in the world created by the United Nations. We would have expected that, because of that, it would have abided by decisions of the United Nations.

'Ignore Decisions' "In fact, we see that even unanimous decisions - such as that concerning Jerusalem - are not only ignored by Israel but publicly refused. Israel would say that if there is a force that can make Jerusalem revert to the status quo (before the 1967 Israeli-Arab war), let it be used.

As if might made right."

Elect Provincial CINCINNATI (NC) - Father Sergio Contran, F.S.C.J., 43, who has been superior of the society's house at Columbia, N. J., is the new U. S. provincial of the Verona Fathers. He is the first provincial to be elected by the total membership under the society's new guidelines. A native of Padua, Italy, he is a naturalized U. S. citizen and was ordained in 1950. He came to the U. S. in 1957.

In 1967, the UN General Assembly voted 99-0 against Israeli annexation of the former Jordanian section of Jerusalem. Israel, however, has proceeded with the annexation and Israel officials have expressed their intention to keep the unified Jerusalem under Israeli control. , In 1969, the UN Security Council censured "in the strongest terms all measures taken to change the status of the city of Jerusalem," deplored "the failure of Israel to show any regard" for the General Assembly and Security Council resolutions on Jerusalem, and called upon Israel "to rescind forthwith all measures taken by it which may tend to change the status of the city of Jerusalem, and in the future to refrain from all actions likely to have such an effect."

'So Many Problems' Patriarch Maximos, who has residences in both Damascus, Syria, and Beirut, Lebanon, said

Baltimore Receives a Mass PrivUege . .

BALTIMORE (NC)-The Baltimore Archdiocese has joined the growing list of U. S. dioceses which permit the faithful to dis· charge its Sunday and holyday mass obligation on Saturday evening or the night before a holyday.

There now are approximately 25 archdiocese and diocese throughout the country which have such arrangements.

Lawrence Cardinal Shehan obtained permission from the Vati-can Congregation for the Clergy.

The privilege in the archdiocese permits fulfilling the obliga. tion by attending Masses be· tween 4 and 9 p.m., on Saturday or the vigil of holydays in all parish churches and in semipublic oratories - chapels used by communities at colleges, hospitals, seminaries and similar institutions.

that, because there is no peace in the Middle East, "our situation as religious people is very hard because we have so many problems, so many refugees, no access to the Holy Places. For 25 years, no Arab Christian from the Arab countries has been able to visit the Holy Land, because Israel has refused access.

"Today it is the same with Jerusalem. Arabs do not have free access. What happened to the Jews for 20 years because of Jordanian restrictions is now done by the Jews to all Arabs."

(A spokesman for the Israeli embassy here said Arab Christians from Arab countries do have access to Jerusalem and the Holy Larid.)

The patriarch also discussed Lebanon's relationship to the other Arab states and to Israel.

"Lebanon, being a state that does not like to be involved in war and which has no real army to defend its frontiers from outside attackers, would perhaps ·be more >inclined to accept UN decisions concerning the existence of Israel than many of its Arab neighbors."

SAN JUAN (NC)-Legislation ,vhich would authorize sex education in D:lblic schools and liberalize abortion laws has been introduced in the Puerto Rican legislature.

Rep. Benny Frankie Cerezo, a power in the majority New Progressive Party ami author of both measures, earlier introduced a' measure designed to relax Puerto Rico's divorce laws.

In support of the sex education measure, Cerezo said: "We live in a time when our capitalistic society hfls discovereo the commercial value of sex and exploits it to the maximum" Dr. Ramon Mellado, Secretary of Education, and Sister Margarita Mir, superintendent of Catholic schools in the Ponce diocese, oppose the broad provisions of the bill. Both said they opposed sex education in schools as a separate subject but agreed it could be made part of other c.ourses currently taught in the schools.

The Christian Action Party has spoken oat against Cerezo's bill favoring relaxation of divorce laws. A party spokesman denounced the measure as "a new threat to the stability, integrity and indisolubility of the family, the basic cell of society."

The spokesman said the the "alarming" 65,848 divorces granted in Puerto Rican courts last year has left "thousands of minor children without a home because of Illck of responsibility of parents who did not know how to live out their commit· ment before God and the law when they got married."

"It is to the credit of many exhibitors that they refuse pictures which they consider obscene or insist on the deletion of passages which they consider obscene. Our refusal of 'X'-rated movie' advertisements is in the same vein," it stated.

BELLEVILLE (NC) - Bishop Albert R. Zuroweste issued a statement of his "complete support" pf two diocesan officials after a local priest had demand· ed their resignation.

Father James A. Genisio, chairman of the history department of Assumption high school here, had charged in an under· ground newspaper article that Msgr. Leonard A. Bauer, vicar general, and Msgr. Bernard Sullivan, chancellor, of the Belleville Diocesan, were "too narrow of imagination, too limited of vision, too chained to the bonds of man-made legalism and too overwhelmed by the staggering effects of total 'craven submission to various types of supposed all-knowing and all·wise authority."

Name Dominican Theology School Dean at CU

fRo ROBERT R MASTERSON

Help for Addicts U",der Sixteen

WASHINGTON (NC) The long controvery over the dean of the Sc.hool of Sacred Thelology vacancy at the Catholic University of America here seems to have come to an end with the appointment of Father Robert Reginald Masterson, a.p., to the post.

The appointment was announced by Dr. Clarence C. Walton, CU president, who told NC News Service he expects the controversy to come to a halt.

"But," he cautiously added, "we can never predict the future."

Several CU faculty members had wanted Father Roland Murphy, a.Carm., a member of the faculty, named dean. Although Father Murphy gained widespread support from theologians, he was turned down for the position by the school's trustees, reportedly because he signed a statement dissenting from Pope Paul VI's birth control encyclical, Ilumanae Vitae.

Common 1fask Father Murphy told NC News Service that he intends to resign from CU because "8 principle is involved here. This leaves me no other course of action." He had said earlier he would resign from CU if he were not eventually confirmed as dean.

Asked if the appointment of Father Masterson would end the long-standing controversy, Father Murphy said, "I certainly hope it does," and he added that he wishes .Father Masterson "very good luck."

Father Masterson expressed confidence that cooperation will replace the controversy.

"Assured by both 'the search committee and the administration that all parties to the present dispute had agreed to accept the decision arrived at through my appointment," Father Masterson said, "I have confidence in their loyal cooperation in our common task for the Church."

Father Walter Schmitz, who headed a search committee established at the height of the controversy, told NC News Service that Father Masterson was one of seven persons on a list submitted by the committee.

"We were not asked to make a selection," he emphasized, "but to f>Ubmit a list," Dr. Walton said Father Masterson has "excel1ent credentials," and that outside sources, including various bishops and theologians, were "uniformly enthusiastic" about the 49-year-old Dominican priest.

"If everyone gives Father Masterson a chance to perform his duties," Dr. Walton said, "things should get back to normal."

NEWARK (NC) - A program for narcotics apdicts under. the age of 16 - believed to be the first' in the state and only the second in the country to serve addicts in this ~ge group--hns been launched by the Mqunt Carmel Guild, Newark archdiocesan !;odal serv.ice agency.

Fifteen children are now being treated in the program w.hich is conducted by the guild's Narcotics Center.

A spokesman said that in the short time the program has been in operation the staff "has found the incidence of narcotics addiction among children under 16 to be widespread and not restricted to the central city."

The spokesman said the program had uncovered "several" children under the age of 10 who are addicted to heroin.

Arrangements have been made with a school fOT children with special problems to have the program conducted there. Guild staff members are also working with the courts and the Essex County Youth House in carrying on the program.

ChristianaiJewish Dialog'ue Continues Despite S~tback

ST. JEAN BAPTISTE, FALL RIVER The monthly meeting of the Council of Catholic Women will be held Monday evening, Feb. 9 at 7:30 in the church hall. Chairman for the Social following the meeting .will be President Mrs. Raymond Melanson and CoChairman Rita Pelletier.

By Msgr. George G. Higgins Director, Division· of Urban Life.. U.S.C.C. ,

'

At a time when there is so much in-fighting going on within ,the Catholic community, it's comforting (in a perverse and admittedly unchristian sort of way, to be sure) to discover that the other religious bodies in the Uni~ed States are no better off than I we are in this regard You th~ir spiritual leaders to 'build , . . brIdges' to other groups, and the don't have to be an eaves- sweet spontaneity of the impulse dropper to make this discov- does them credit. :

ery. All you have to do is to keep abreast of Protestant and Jewish books and periodicals In the case of the Jew ish ccmmunity, for example, a new book' by Hbward Sin g e r "Brin~ Forth the Mig h t Y Men: On Violence and the Jewish Character" (Funk and Wagnalls,' New, York) can serve as a timely illustration of the point I ain trying to make. , Mr.' Singer has nothing but " "contempt -- unqualified and 'Ilighly indignant contempt- for the leadership of all of the ma.ior Jewish organizations in the United States (B'Nai B'Rith, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Jewish Congress, among others) because of their alleged indifference to Jewish needs and Jewish survival and, more specifically, because of their eagerness to enter into diaJoguenvith the Chdstian com· ,mu~ity.~,: ,.: :,; ,;~,.,,; ,'. ".,: As 'a long-time friend of many of the men who' are' the principal targets of his 'almost boundless wrath, I'li'esitate to quote what h£:says'abbut them or to comment ()n his criticism of their leadership lest I be accused of getting involved in a very unpleasant family squabble which is obviously none of my business.

Casualty of War On the other hand, perhaps it will not be completely out of order for one who has taken part in many Christian-Jewish conferences or seminars (with Rabbinical groups as well as with the so-called secular Jewish organizations referred to above) to comment briefly on Mr. Singer's total rejection of the ChristianJewish dialogue. ' Mr. Singer takes the position that the dialogue was one of the foreseeable casualties of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The reason it " died, he contends, is that support by the Christian churches for Israel-support of the type and t:· the extent that the major Jewish organizations had expected'was simply not forthcoming, to , , the bitter disappoiQtment of those Jewish leaders who had been promoting the dialogue.

The low point, he says, was reached in midsummer, 1967.

"Ever since," he concludes, , "everybody 'has been trying to put Humpty Dumpty together again."

Opposes Dialogue Mr. Singer makes it perfectly clear that, for his own part, he sincerely hopes that these efforts to put Humpty Dumpty together again - that is, to resume the Christ,~n-Jewish dialogue - will fail. He' is against the dialogue a~ a, matter of principle.

Oil the other hand, he reluctantly predicts that it "will come back into vogue, for social.,pressures in this country are all for increasing contact~. Well-meaning laymen of all faiths want

"But one mus.t always remQmber that the brJd~e ~ay appear sturdy but that It IS made, of paper. It is purely decorative; one had better not expect it: to be useful and, bear any serious strain.

Christians Silent 'Theological dialogue is now good citizenship; it is part of the American 'way of' life, and Ias such it has as much right to 'be part of the scene as those whirl'ing amber lights one finds on used car lots, or the whitepainted wagon wheels one sees on suburban lawns. ,Just bear in mind it is also every bit 'as functional."

I have only three or four comments 'to offer by way of 'a response to Mr. Singer. ~ 1) I can readily understand why he and the overwhelming majority of his fellow-Jews were disappointed by the "silence" :of the Christian churches during the Arab-Israeli war in 1967. And while I think thE' record will show that this silence wasn't quite as deafening as Mr. Singer makes it out, to be, I sincerely wish that. the ;churches ,had spoken ,out.' mOre.A fo~cefully in support of' 'Israel;;>" moral and 'legal right, to exist, in peace as a ftee and independent nation:: Issue Avoided , 2) Having said this, however, I would argue th~t the "silenc~" of the Christian churches in the Summer of 1'967 is an argumept for rather than against the dialogue. By this I mean that one of the reasons that support by Christian groups for Israel, of the type and to the extent th~t ' Jewish community had expect~d, was not forthcoming, is th~t Christians, generally speaking, did not then and do not now fully understand what Israel means to the Jews in theologic~l terms.

- , I Jews themselve~ are the only ones who can help us overcome. this gap in our knowledge. A~d this to me means t.hat we need more rather than less Christiah· j~wish dialogue.' , ' , ; ' '~t also means that the dialogue must, in the future, include ia , profound study of the theological meaning 'of Israel from the Jew- ' ish point of view. Unfortunately this issue was generally avoid~d or side-stepped in pre-1967 Christian-Jewish seminars. It is my impression, however, that both parties to the dialogue now agree that it m.ust be placed ~t the very top of their agenda. ' I More FruitfUlI ' 3) This brings me to my thi~d point, namely, that whether Mr. Sillger knows it or not, the dialogue is still going strong. For the reasons cited in his verw angry book, it was called off ·temporarily in the aftermath Of the six-day war, but it never died.

For my own part, I hope and pray, and would be willing t~ wager, that in the future it will b0 more fruitful than it ever was before the war.

I might add, in this connection -again at the risk of getting involved in a family quarrel-that

'H.oly'lFather Says Counc::i~ Can Remove Uncert~inty Di$turbing Humanity VATICAN CITY (NC)-There is a "sense of uncertainty" that disturbs humanity today, but the Second Vatican Council can remove that uncer:tainty, Pope Paul VI told a general audience.

He said that no one escapes the "dizziness of uncertainty" iil this period of history.

"One no longer knows what may be the right thing to think or do. We must be grateful to those who, study, think, see, teach and guide with true human feeling," he said.

In the council, the Pope said, "we, have the lamp which lights the way."

He told priests "assailed with so' many doubts about your existence in the Church and in the -world" not to be afraid.' "Read ,again the' page of the council that concerns you, and go forward with faith and courage,"

he told them.

The Pope advised youths "militant for contestation" also not to be afraid. But he went on to warn them that in their zeal for a better social life they should not be "against Christ."

The Pope urged youths: "Do not fear that the Church does not know how to accept and understand yo~, and that the firmness of its principles may paralyze your vitality."

Then Pope Paul encouraged all Catholics not to be afraid, and asked them to take strength from Christ, who said: "Have faith. I have won the world."

, VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has canonized Maria Soledad 'Torres Acosta, foundJ"ess of the Sisters Servants of Mary, who dedicated her life to caring for the most hopelessly ill. ' At the canonization ceremony Pope Paul celebrated Mass, distributed Communion and pronounced the solemn words recognizing in the Church's name the holiness of Blessed Maria.

Maria Soledad Torres Acosta \vas 'bor\) in Madrid'in 1&26. Inher youth she matte 'the solemn vow to dedicate her life to those so desperately ill that even the hospitals refused to care for them.

At the age of 25 she convinced six other women to work in her cause, but they soon left her because they could not endure the hardships. Her bishop, noting the exemplary virtue~ of Maria, put her under his protection. She was thus able to found the Sisters Servants of Mary who arc represented in the archdioceses of Kansas City, Los Angeles, New Orleans and New York, and also in Puerto Rico.

Mayers' Seekonk Swim Club Compiling Creditable Mark Every Winter a few hardly individuals take to the icy waters of the inland Atlantic for their annual Polar Bear Swim Club dip. But, for the most part, area sport devotees are content to huddle in front of their televi~ion sets to view the multitude Because' of geographical locaof athletic events that are tion, the Warriors, who swim featured during the cold 'against Rhode Island teams weather months. However, would like to become a member of the Greater Boston League.

Coach Mayers' swimmers reached one of their pre-season goals a week ago when they won the Brown University Interscholastic Meet Championship. In that competition Seekonk scored in all events except the 50-yard free-style and outdistanced its nearest foe, Cranston West, by nine points.

Strong performances by' Cocaptains Steve DeSilva and Steve Sherman in the backstroke and breaststroke, respectively, have highlighted the sea~on thus far.

'Meet by Mail' Fills Competition Void Tim Joost, John Brill, Ben Zaida and Vic Gelinal have all come through with exceptional achievements during the course of the campaign and are expected to elevate the Warriors to greater heights in the future.

Joost specializes in the 100-, yard backstroke, Brill swims the medley relay while Zaida and Gelinas concentrate on the 200 and 400-yard freestyle events.

Coach Mayers is hard pressed to find competition for his boys, but, being a resourceful man has come up with ,a satisfactory method until the Warriors are accepted into a formal league.

The immediate answer is "meet by mail."

Following the Brown victory, Coach Mayers, fearful his boys would become complacent, scheduled a meet with' Conn'ecticut's St. Mary's Higllpf Greenwich. On Monday, both schools

"We were beaten rather han'di1y," Coach Mayers said, "but we had the best practice session we have ever had following a big meet." The affable mentor went on to' say that he would much rather meet a team on a face-to-face basis, but "meet by mail" seems' to be. an acceptable alternative until Seekonk's applications to formal leagues is acted upon.

The Warriors will participate' in the Max Read Memorial Meet on Saturday at Tolman High in Pawtucket. It will be the first in what is scheduled as an annual affair in honor of the man who spent his every. effort to promote competitive swimming while serving as physical education director in Pawtucket.
