Lauds Catholic Press Role In Developing Ecumenism

By Father Gustave Weigel, S.J. (N.C.W.C. News Service)

Within the Catholic Church at this moment there exists • general enthusiasm for ecumenical action. This has been decidedly so since the assumption of the papacy by Pope John. The Catholic press has played no small part in this development. Catholic papers ' have consistently given the It can be surmised that for ecumenical action of Catho­ many of them it was surprising lies a sympathetic coverage. that so ~uch .warmth was s~own Pope John has left no doubt that he embraces ecumenism gener­ ously. This was' shown in his creation of the Secretariat for Promoting C h r i s t ian Unity which was a preparatory com­ mission for the work of the Sec­ ond Vatican Council and which early in the Council was made a formal commission of the Council itself.

In the Pontiff's initial address to the Council Fathers, the ecumenical approach was re­ quested. This attitude was con­ firmed by his own frequent pre­ vious meetings with representa­ tives of other Christian commu­ nities.· Nor was the extremely friend:' 1y reception of delegate ob­ servers at the Council meetings to be ignored. As the observers themselves testified, they were given every facility and courtesy to follow closed and intimately

Bishop Connolly also announced that the dates for the 1963 Appeal wilJ be from May 5 to May 15.

Accepting his appointment from Bishop Connolly, Mr. Mooney said: "The honor of being chosen to lead the 1963, Catholic Charities Appeal is a great one. I am in­ deed grateful to His Excellency, Bishop Connolly, for this honor. I will strive in months ahead to justify his confidence in this great endeavor. . . "The annual Catholic Chariti~s Appeal is more than an appeal. It is the means to a suitable life for thousands of our less fortunate neighbors. This help may be the quiet aid given a stricken family, the com­ fort offered the cancero!:!-s poor, the consola­ tion and security offered the aged, or the many sided help available to our commu­ nity's youth. Whatever the human need, the Catholic Charities Appeal aims to meet that need. Our brother in 'need is the special concern of Catholic Charities.

"Noble and devoted servants of Charity -lay and religious-have given themselves unselfishly to this work in the past. I now wish to take up the cause they have fur­ thered so successfully.

"With the experience of past Chairmen as my guide, I know that I can rely on a large and enthusiastic Community support."

is the right-arm of a Bishop and his clergy in strengthening the faithful.

"Let us loyally help ourselves, our family and the Diocese t h r 0 ugh sup p 0 r t for The Anchor," the Diocesan Ordinary asserted, expressing the hope that this year "the greater part of the parishes in the Diocese of Fall River are 100 per cent readers of The Anchor." The Bishop's statement follows: ''Many things are expected of a Bishop, by clergy and faithful alike. But none in his senses would expect the head of a dio­ cese to do everything himself.

He simply has not the tipte, and, for some tasks, he may not have the talent. So, if he is wise, he del ega t e s responsibility to uthers.

"Such is the case with The Anchor. It was a happy declsion made six years ago to publish our diocesan weekly, which has proven its worth over and over again. It has brought us all closer together. We are more closely knit as a diocese. Our kno'''ledge is surer, our faith stronger, our outlook more truly catholic, our sympathies more keen because we have had a win­ dow on the world with The Anchor.

"But many things should be expected of the people too. At least the bishop and the clergy do, and, in a true sense, the faithful look one to another for evidences of valid Catholic action. Such a point of judge­ ment is the matter of subscribing to The Anchor. We must read to be informed. Our religious needs can never be satisfied by listening to a Sunday sermon.

Something in our home should

"So the answer is simple: Sub­ scribe again, subscribe anew, but subscribe.

So let us loyally help ourselves ­ our family and· the Diocese t h r 0 ugh sup p 0 r t for The Anehor."

Failure Assured 'for Many'ST. PAUL (NC) - Mar­ Jiage failure is "assured for many" by the American cul­ tural pattern, a theologian ihld a group of married couples here.

Father John J. O'Sullivan, professor of moral theology at St. Paul Seminary and formerly a sociology professor at the Cath. f)lic University of America, Washington, D. C., spoke at an Mganizing meeting of Confra­ ternity of Christian doctrine parent-educator groups.

"Good marriages run in fam. ilies," Father O'Sullivan said.

-They are set in childhood and adolescence."

He singled out selfishness as 1he main cause of marriage fail. lire and charged "the dating sys­ tem fosters selfishness.

All marriage problems, Father O'Sullivan said, can be broken down to two sources: "undue need of affection and undue need of possessiveness or power ewer the other."

He defined sanctity in the con­ text of marriage as "great capac­ ity to accept rejection."

'Work at Marriage' Too many young people, he said, think that happiness is 10 be "found" in marriage. In. 8tead they must "work at mar­ rioge as you work at a golf game or anything else that can im­ prove or deteriorate," he said.

He urged parents to foster "a spirit of moderation and sacri­ fice" in their children.

"A good parent knows what to give and what to withhold," Pather O'Sullivan said.

"The purpose of marriage is Bot children," he continued, but -ro be holy by doing what you lire supposed to do," which in­ cludes having children, educat­ iitg them and "helping each other on the way to God."

Latin Missioner Notes Progress . Rev. John Anthony Janson, e.F.M., New Bedford missionary to Anapolis, Goias, Brazil, re­ ports to friends in the Diocese OIl his recent activities. He 1ft'ites that much food is dis­ tributed to the poor in his parish, mcluding. in a distribution a Ihort time ago, as much as 2,­ 000 loaves of bread made with United states flour, beans, rice, lUgar, coffee, macaroni, pow­ dered milk, and a little candy tor the children.

He says that his school yard :Is being prepared for basketball and volleyball play by students and that eonstruction is pro­ eeeding on his church. "It is beautiful and built to last for .enturies without repairs."

Franciscan Sisters have just opened a novitiate in the parish .-ea, writes Father Janson. He preached a retreat to new postu­ lants and was among clergy wel­ coming Rev. Celsus Wheeler, Franciscan superior, and Rev..

Priests Developing

COLUMBUS (NC)-The train. ing program in familly counsel. ling for priests of the Columbus citocese is moving along quite well in its second year of oper. ation, according to Father Ber. nerd McClory, assistant director 01. Catholic Charities.

Fifteen priests are taking the eourse which meets weekly. The program is aimed at developing eounselling skills for use in par. ish work, well as establishing a trained staff of counsellors to .erve the Catholic Welfare Bu. Jeau, the Marriage Tribunal and the Chancery office.

Father McClory said that it is tile experience in rectories across the country that marriage and family problems have been OIl the increase, both in serious­ DeSS and numbers.

College Example. of Cooperation All Faiths Aid 'Builder Bishop MONTREAL (NC)-A modern example of what can be done by cooperation among people of all faiths, is shown in Prince George College, taking shape at Prince George, British Columbia.

Canada's "newest and most pioneering college" is set on a roIling campus of 2,000 acres overlooking the Fraser River, some 500 miles north of Van­ couver.

It is the brain-child of Bishop Fergus O'Grady, O.M.!., former provincial of the English-langu­ age Oblates of Canada, who was named Vicar Apostolic of Prince Rupert in' 1955.

Because of the work which he bas carried on since he came here, he has become popularly known as "the builder Bishop" of northern British Columbia.

The north central part of British Columbia had no higher educational facilities available to its 100,000 people, of whom some 11,000 are Catholics.

Fall River Nursey Inter-Faith Project A day nursery in operation since July at Father Sharbel Center, St. Anthony of the De­ sert parish, Fall River, stands as a tribute to inter-faith coopera­ tion, and a practical example of the ecumenical movement, Chor­ Bishop Joseph Eid said today.

Chor-Bishop Eid, pastor of St. Anthony of the Desert church, noted that the nursery gives care to children of employees at a nearby mill operated by Norman T. Schindler. Mr. Schindler, of the Jewish faith, has cooperated fully with the Maronite rite parish in pro­ viding the tots' facility, said the Chor-Bishop.

The nursery has accommo­ dated up to 40 children and at present is serving a regular en­ rollment of 25. Facilities are open from 7:30 each morning until 5 at night.

Mrs. Gladys Ayash is super­ visor, aided by Mrs. Anna Hix and Mrs. Alfred P. Massoud, all of St. Anthony of the Desert parish. Chor-Bishop Eid supplies spiritual instruction to the chil­ dren, teaching prayers and cate­ chism on the· pre-schoolleveI.

to white and IndIan students of all denominations.

Plans call for eight buildings and a village of ranch-type homes to accommodate white and Indian students. Each home will have a resident family for the eight students in residence.

Pull Together Father Rogers said the city gave eager support to Bishop O'Grady's idea and everyone "pulled together as a team." A community fund drive for $100,­ 000 reached its goal in four weeks. The "kick-off dinner"

was under the chairmanship of an Elder of the United, Church and the event was held in the Anglican Church hall.

Last October the coli e g e opened. Completed now are the administration building, one large classroom block, a combi­ nation auditorium _ gymnasium, cafeteria and nine residences.

Everyone "slugged it out" to make Prince George College a reality. Bishop O'Grady helped bulldoze the site. The city resi­ dents helped dig the ditches for the water and sewer services.

Solution of Race Problem

CINCINNATI (N C) ­ Missionaries in the SudaB have a name for the anti­ Christian bar r i e r s being

By Msgr. George G. Higgins

Director, NCWC Social Action Department

Reference was made in last week's column to the National Conference on Religion and Race (Chicago Jan. 14-17), under the joint sponsorship of the Social Action Department - National Catholic Welfare Conference and the counterpart department However, . the impatience of of the National Council ~f Churches and the Synagogue those who allege that the confer­ was too complacent about Council of America. This ence the race problem ought to be

Confer,ence, I suggested, was one of the most successful interracial meetings ever held in the United States and one that marked a significant turn­ ing point in the history of inter­ faith relations in this country.

I think the majority of the delegates to the Conference " 0 u I d agree with this ap­ praisal.

How­ ever, the Conference has been criticized by some observers on two counts in particular.

The charge has been made that Negroes and Negro organi­ zations were not adequately rep­ resented at the conference. And it has been alleged that the Con­ ference. program did not ade­ quately reflect the seriousness of the race problem in the U. S. and the urgency of solving it without any further delay.

Sees Misunderstanding The first criticism is the easier one to deal with. To some ex­ tent it would appear to be based on ~ misunderstanding. It is my information that the invitations committee for' the conference went to elaborate lengths to make sure all interested groups would be adequately represented.

Unfortunately, however, some of the organizations which were invited-and this includes some of the leading Negro 0r:gan.iza­ tions-failed to respond, pOSSIbly because they did not realize at the time how important the conference was going to be.

In any event, this proble~ of representation is not too senouS and will undoubtedly be re­ solved to everybody's satisfac­ tion if and when another na­ tional conference is convened.

The other criticism-that the program did not adequately re­ fleet. the seriousness of the race problem and the urgency of solving it without furtlier delay -is obviously more important and more difficult tc deal with.

Negroes' View I think the criticism is large­ ly unfounded or at least exag­ gerated. It is my impression that the conference not only took the race problem very seriously but that it never would have been convened in the first place if the people responsible for or­ ganizing it had not been thor­ oughly convinced that a quick solution to this problem is the most urgent domestic challenge confronting the U. S. at present.

given careful consideration by all who had anything to do with the conference, but especially by those of who who belong to the so-called white race.

It is almost impossible, I sup­ pose, for white Americans to see the race prob~em as vividly as Negroes see it or fully to share their wholesome and very understandable impatience with o~r painfully gradual efforts to eliminate the evil of racism, root and branch, from every sector of American life.

Quote Baldwin Some of those who have crit­ icized the conference for its real or alleged failure to come to grips realistically with the race problem in all its horrible ugli­ ness are supporting their criti­ cism with quotations from James Baldwin's "Letter From a Region in My Mind", which was fir.st published several weeks ago m The New Yorker. It has since been reprinted as one of ·two essays in a book entitled "The Fire Next Time" (Dial Press, New York" $3.50).

Baldwin's famous "Letter", for all its bitterness, is required reading for white Americans.

They will not enjoy reading It (no one enjoy.s having his con­ science examined so ruthlessly by one of the victims of his sins) but, hopefully, it will do all of us white Americans a lot of spiritual good.

No other book I can think of is better caluculated to impress upon the dominant white major­ ity why the American Negro is so frustrated by our policy of gradualism and so determi~ed. to find a comprehensive SolutIOn to the race problem right away -not in 1970, not next year, but tomorrow and, if possible; today.

Notes Warning The easy way for white Amer­ icans to answer Mr. Baldwin would be to write .him off as an impractical visionary or ·anem­ bittered demagogue. But that wo~ld merely aggravate a prob­ lem which has already reached the staggering proportions of a national and indeed an interna­ tional crisis.

The best way to answer him would be to try to' do the impos­ sible-to try to solve the race problem as' ;;oon as it is humanly possible. Time's awasting, l:!s the very title of Mr. Baldwin's book reminds us His title is taken from an 'old Negro spiritual which ends ever so ominously, as fol­ lows: "God gave Noah the rain­ bow sign, no more water, the fire next time!"

Observer at Council Sees New Cath9lic-Protestant Tide Flowing CINCINNATI (NC)-A Prot­ estant observer at the Second Vatican Council told the United Church of Christ Assembly here that "a new tide is flowing in the sea between Roman Catho­ lics and Protestants."

Dr. Douglas Horton, former, dean of Harvard University di­ vinity school who was an official observer for the International Congregational Council at the Council, admitted that "the theo­ logical differences between us' are so great that no ordinary hUman vision is sufficient to see a way to overcome them."

Nevertheless he said there were three areas in which the """,,11" h<>twe<>'1 Catholics and l3rotestants is being "penetrated." l'nt::;~ a. cd:; a.·c },I< a j -:••, Bll.lucal

"Contacts with such men do away with borde·r, breed and birth," Dr. Horton said.

Contrast Ideas

I

Dialogue Reveals Catholic, Lutheran

Views of Priesthood

MINNEAPOLIS (NC)­ Catholtc and Lutheran ideas on priesthood were contrasted here by a Lutheran biblical scholar during an interfaith dialogue.

Dr. John V. Halvorson, pro­ fessor of Old' Testament at Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, discussed the idea of priesthood in a dialogue with Father Jerome Quinn, professor of the Old and New Testament at St. Paul Seminary.

The two men spoke on "Sacri­ fice and Priesthood in the Old Testament" in a program at the UniversIty of Minnesota New­ man Center.

Noting that Christ instituted sacraments, Dr. Halvorson com­ mented that "where there are sacraments you must have some kind of an institution and some kind of a priesthood."

In Catholicism, he said, the validity of the sacraments. is rooted in "a priest, properly ordained."

Carey in Education Committee Post WASHINGTON (N C) A chief supporter of a Federal aid to education bill which would give parents a flat grant to spend at the school of their choice has been named to the House Edu­ cation and Labor Committee.

He is Rep. Hugh L. Carey of New York who said after his ap­ pointment by House Democrats that "educational excellence for all Americans should be viewed as the pri~e challenge and there­ fore the greatest area of opport­ tunity for effective legislation."

Carey, who campaigned in Brooklyn on a platform promis­ ing "equal educational assistance for all children," was a cospOn­ sor in the 87th Congress of the so-called "G. I. Bill for Junior" introduced by Rep. James J. Delaney of New York.

·By contrast, he said in historic Lutheranism "the local congre­ gation is a sovereign authority.

Sacramental validity is rooted in the community of believers which "can call a man" whom it considers qualified. "Ontbe basis of this call, he is ordained," Dr. Halvorson explained.

Father Quinn referred to the ritual of I~ael as "a religion in which we are called to the holy as God is holy."

He cautioned that a danger in worship is "the tendency .to transfer the externals, the ma­ chinery, into the be-all and end­ all.".

'fear of C'hrist' Ba rred Convert As Citizen NEW YORK (NC) - An authority on· Judea-Chris­ tian affairs said "the fear of Christ" influenced the Is­ .eli Supreme Court judges to deny Israeli citizenship to a con­ ~f from Judaism who is now • Car~clite priest.

Msgr. John M. Oesterreicher, "so a convert from Judaism who is director of Judeo-Chris­ tlan studies at Seton Hall Uni­ ~sity, South Orange, N,J., jlpeaking before the Edith Stein 6uild, recalled that Father Daniel-Oswald Rufeisen sought .raeli citizenship under the "aw of return." The guild as­ IIIsts Jewish converts to Catho­ ~ism.

Ethnic Origin Jewish The law, enacted in 1950, .ves any Jew, except a crimi­ DBl, automatic citizenship upon declaring he is a Jew, the Mon­ .gnor stated. Father Rufeisen was a Jew born in Poland who ~braced the Catholic Faith efter escaping from the Nazis ill 1942.

The Monsignor recalled Father Rufeisen had declared: "My ethnic orig~n is and always will be Jewish." He was advised by kaeli authorities he could be­ *>me a naturalized citizen but . e government would not· rec­ ognize him as a Jew. "The judges were not only guided by what they. considered the law," Msgr. Oesterreicher ~ted, "but they were subject to emotions, atmosphere and many other feelings, as Jews. The term by which they referred to Jewish eonverts was always 'apostates.'

"The judges were not obser­ 'IlIlnt Jews, and were not fami­ liar with what Orthodox law is about Jews who become Chris­ tians. This law is that any per­ son born of a Jewish mother is • Jew, even though he becomes en apostate."

aid. "'I think the decision is wrong ... a number of reasons," Msgr.

Oesterreicher said. "One of these lleasons is that Israel represents herself as a democracy, and in a democracy where a pluralistic lIOCiety is maintained, there .ould be equality before the law for Moslem, Jew, Buddhist, Catholic, and so fO,rth.

But in Israel "no Jew can afely change his rei i g ion. lewish converts are considered • stain on the state of Israel." .

New Bedford. Maryknoller Describes Parish.

Life in Lima, Praises Panal Volunteers In Massachusetts on a flying visit for a medical check":up, Rev. John Lawler, M.M. will be leaving New Bedford today or tomorrow en route to Lima, Peru, which has been home for him for the past 13 years. The MaryknoIler, formerly of St. Mary's parish, New Bed­ ford has been making headquarters at the home of his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Lawler. Mr. Lawler is a former mayor of New Bedford.

Ordained in 1942, Father Lawler spent his first eight years as a missionary in Bolivia, then was assigned to Lima, where he founded St. Rose of Lima parish, where he is still stationed. In addition to his work as pastor in charge of 24,000 souls, he is su­ perior of Maryknoll Fathers in Lima and directs a large grade school, a high school and a social center.

Population Explosion The missionary has witnessed a "population explosion" during his 13 years in Lima. His parish is on the outskirts of the city and when he· arrived, only half its area had streets. Now it is completely built up.

Although Lima is growing, notes Father Lawler, the popula­ tion in other parts of Peru has remained fairly stable. The rea­ son is that those seeking ad­ vancement come to the city, causing its census to swell dis­ proportionately.

St. Martin de Porres and St. Rose of Lima, best known inhab­ itants of Peru's capital to most U. S. Catholics, lived far from Father Lawler's parish, he says, in what is now the heart of modern Lima. .

Surrounding the city are sluins, lived hi by some 400,000 Peruvians. A young Massachu. sets family is going to do what it can to help them, reports Father Lawler. They are mem­ bers of a lay organization spe­ cializing in sending families to the missions and they plan to live in Father- Lawler's parish, a middle-class area.. There the mother will care for her children and maintain a' nucleus of Chris­ tian family life while the hus­ band goes by day into the slum areas to engage in social work.

Another group active in the Lima area and in Father Law­ ler's parish are the Papal Vol­ unteers for Latin America, di­ rected by Rev. John Considine, Maryknoll Missioner and brother of Msgr. Raymond CQnsidine, Fall River Diocesan Director for th~ Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

Varied Work Three Volunteers are at pres­ ent in St. Rose of Lima parish, one teaching in Father Lawler's grade school, another in the high school and a third, a graduate social worker, working in the parish social center.

They are La Rae Dudley, Ver­ nal, Utah; Sally Hanlon, Need­ ham, Mass.; and Jeanine Reiser, Columbus, O. "Having La Rae here," says Father Lawler, quoted in this month's issue of "Maryknoll," 11is community's magazine, "re­ leases one Sister for fulltime catechetical work with the kids in public schools. Also, she and Sally are not subject to'convent rules. They have better oppor­ tunities to meet the parents so­ cially and to· be influential with them.

"They organize Summer cate­ chetics in the slums and work in the youth programs. Sally is now working with a group of eight girls who are training to be Peruvian Papal Volunteers."

As for Jeanine, the social worker, she has become profi­ cient at "getting things do.ne."

She and the Maryknoll Sister who works with her "have lists of doctors, lawyers and other persons who will help a person

"They can move and get things

Protestants Hit Illinois Birth Control Plan PEORIA (NC) - A panel of .Protestants agreed here in Illinois that a state plan to help solve welfare prob­

lems by giving artificial birth control devices to public relief . recipients is poor public policy.

A Peoria TV news director, Chuck Harrison, said that the plan of the Illinois Public Aid Commission would provide birth control devices to teenage girls and thus encourage fornication, which is a crime in the state.

"I find it a little ludicrous for a state body to become a party to a crime," Harrison said. "And we would be aiding thousands in crime. It's just that simple."

The Rev. William Johnson, pastor of an African Methodist Episcopal church, pointed out that most of the Illinois public aid r~cipients are Negroes, and ~O per cent of them are women, either widowed, unwed or de­ serted by their husb~nds.

"What we are saying is let's make it easy for these women to go out and enjoy themselves.

It's lij<e saying if a person is going t{) steal, let's help him steal. What happens to our moral values," lie asked.

The Negro pastor asked that the problem be attacked by ·treating its cause, which he described as economic depriva­ tion of Negroes in American society.

Former Peoria mayor Eugene Leiter categorized the program as an attack on family discipline and thus ill-conceived.

Catholic education is makIng many important contribu­ tions to the nation. Its excellence of education and its building up of the moral fibre of the nation's pupils are chief among the effects it is producing.

But there is also a financial contribution that even in these days of billion dollar budgets is not inconsiderable.

There are in the parochial schools of the countrY 4,373,­ 422 pupils in grade schools and 880,369 students in high schools. If the parents of these children did not exercise their Constitutional right to send them to a Church-related school, the taxpayers of the nation would assume the burden of their education.

Based on statistics released by the National Education Association concerning pupil costs in the various States of the Union, the amount that would have to be spent to educate these pupils comes to $2.6 billion annually. The figures given are based on the year 1960.

This is not an insignificant amount of money. If this were added to the budget of the various communities, the tax rate rise would certaInly be a source of worry for civic fathers and an added burden for taxpayers.

In addition,' the Educational Department of the Na­ tional Catholic Welfare Conference haf'l also pointed out that in October of 1961 there were 157,125 teachers in the Catholic grade and high schools of the nation. If these 'teachers ,had been .on the public payroll and had been paid the average public school salary in their respective areas, their salary costs would have added $929,019,018 to the public tax burden. ', These figures should bring home the tremendous savings that, the Catholic school system is contributing to the taxpayers of the country. It seems strange that no al­ lowance for this is made in the President's 1963 education program submitted to Congress.

The program follows the pattern of its predecessors in that Catholic and other private and Church-related colleges and universities are in while, for the most part, grade and high schools are out.

There is no doubt that the Catholic schools are making a contribution to the educational excellence of the country.

They are fulfilling a public pu\-pose. They are, of course, doing even more than that as they are developing the. spiritual elements in their pupils. But this fact does not detract from the public service that they are performing.

And any program of Federal aid to education would be and is un-realistic if it fails to take that public Bervice per­ formed by the parochial schools into account.

A Catholic Chfiean woma des c rib i n g her neighbolr said: "He is a real Comrnu,;. nist. He gives an of hiI money to the poor and has eVeQ gone to live with them." :Be­ cause of such dedicated dis­ ciples the Com­ munists h a v e stolen the glory from the Church.

Communism in Latin America is not a wild­ eye d, g un­ earrying revo­ lution.

It is publicized as a program to help the poor. No one would dare preach against A as the people would throw rocktl at you as being against the pooc.

A priest in Bogota, Fathel' Garcia, gathers people from the wretched slums, takes them out­ side the city where in coopera­ tive fashion they build decent homes for· themselves. Then be helps them put up other build­ ings in' which they make furni­ ture, which they sell and divicH the money fQr the family in­ come.

Father Garcia has taken se. . eral thousand people out of a drab and dismal existence and given them a chance for a cleallt whoiesollle· life. Because he loves ana helps the poor the people affectionately refer ~ him as "our Communist priest.­ This is sad enou~ but wha& really wounds the priest is that the upper class, the intellectualll and the wealthy are wntinually reporting him to the archbishop and the government as a Com­ munist, because he is disturbiOC the status quo of Bogota.

A Peruvian girl tells of • priest from Paris wlw moved into a rag-pickers slum-a scene of malnutrition, disease aDd erime-On the outskirts of Lima.

The priest started a .social s~ vice center that included literaC7 classes, a medical dispensar,­ and a kitchen to which the,­ brought rejected vegetables from grocery stores. Last year the authorities moved the priest of the area as a Communist.

Parish priests have trouble with Communists going to Com­ munion. And one committeemaa in Brazil ran on the Communist ticket for the legislature. It was . his political stand, as opposed to the regular parishioners who did not want anything distu::-bed, no trouble-making organizations, but ju~t peace.

The Papal Volunteers in Belem were called to a distant village where the Communists were taking over. Some' 3,000 people had been taken out of the city and put on small plots of land which was good for the hungry people.

It was something that Mater et Magistra suggests but those who were accomplishing this were not those woo had read Mater et Magistra. For them it was nQ'more than a booklet on a library shelf. The Communists are accomplishing the, Pope" requests better than the Catho­ . lies in some Latin America areas.

Their approach is a quiet, warm, Francis of Assisi type ~ touching the masses. This is Moo tractive to people, most of whonl can never go to sch<>ol, seldom get meat to eat and do not know what it is to vote. A symbol of hope is help up to them by the quiet, self-sacrificing people ill their midst. It is up to _ whether 'they are followmc Communists or Papal VolUD­ teers.

Credit, Courses In Religion CAPE GIRARDEAU (NC) ' ­ t:atholics in two Missouri state eolleges are being allowed to take religious courses for credit ior the first time.

'The programs are now under way at Missouri School of Mines at Rolla and at Southeast Mis­ lOuri State College here. _ Lack of accredited religious subjects has been a sore point with Catholics at the state col­ leges and universities for gen­ erations. Without official accre­ ditation, few students wanted to take the often difficult religion eourses.

Precedent was set two years. ago at Rolla, when, Southern Baptist officials obtained per­ mission to give a three-credit religion course to School of Mines students.

Subsequently Father Thomas D. Sullivan, Newman Club chap­ lain at Rolla, received' permis­ sion for a Catholic course at the school which is a branch of the University of Missouri at Colum­ bia. Father Sullivan agreed to 'provide a teacher with a recog­ nized college degree for the eourses, which were approved by a curricular committee ~t the school.

The question of whether the credits earned will count toward a particular student's degl:ee still rests with the chairman of the student's department.

Commission to Study Use' of Vernacular FRESNO (NC) - Bishop Aloysius J. Willinger, C.SS.R., of Monterey-Fresno has in­ structed the Diocesan Liturgical Commission to prepare a de­ tailed outline of the use of Eng­ lish in the Mass of the Cate­ chumens.

The outline will be submitted to pastors, superiors of religious eommunities and heads of Cath­ olic lay organizations for study and criticism.

According to Msgr. Patrick Bannon, commission chairman, a booklet containing the pro­ posal of the Bishop, a statement of implementation and the de­ tailed outline, together with a detached sheet for opinions and criticisms, have been mailed to each pastor, religious superior and head of a lay organization.

The opinions and criticisms will then be tabulated.

Reports from the first session of the Second Vatican Council in Rome have indicated that the Council may recommend in­ creased use of the vernacular in the Mass.

Says Latin Lab Aids Delayed Vocations LITTLE ROCK (NC) - St. John's Home Missions Seminary here has taken steps to remove one of the biggest obstacles from the path to delayed vocations to the priesthood'.

Learning Latin has been rec­ ognized for years as the chief stumbling block for delayed vo­ cations by experts in 'the field.

The seminary here attacked the obstacle by installing an electronic language laboratory, which condenses four years of Latin study into one.

Father James F. Drane, sem­ inary language professor, said the accelerated Latin course helps younger as well as older men who are seminary students.

18,000 Attend CCD Training Courses SAN ANTONIO (NC)­ Nearly 18,000' Latin American priests, Religious and laymen attended Confraternity of Chris­ tian Doctrine training courses conducted by three U.S. priests during 1962.

The three priests conducted 70 such courses in 1962 in which instruction was given in or­ ganizing and carrying on the CCD program.

THE ANCHOR­ St. Joseph's,. Fall River, CORtinues Tradition Thurs., Feb. 7, 1963 Cardinal To Bless Of Service to North End Catholics

New Campus

By Patricia McGowan St. Joseph's Church in Fall River was established in 1873, according to a historical booklet prepared for its golden anniversary in 1923. The first pastor was Rev. William H. Brie. He lived and celebrated his first Masses for the parish at a house located on North Main Street just north of the present President Avenue. The very first Mass took place on Low Sunday, April 20, 1873. In short order a t e m p 0 r a r y church was erected near what is now Vestal Street and area Catholics worshipped her for three to four years.

"With that keenness and sa· gacity which we::e marked char­ acteristics of·the man, Father Bric began to look about for a site that he considered would be an ideal one, taking into con­ sideration the future growth of the parish, and he eventually purchased a large tract of land at the corner of North Main and Weetamoe Streets."

Early Construction The small building at Vestal Street was moved tc the rear of the new location and to it were added two wings and a small choir loft, thus constituting the old St. Joseph's Church.

Continued growth of the parish soon dictated the erection of the new church and April 5, 1880 was the date ground was broken on the North Main Street side of the lot for the _present St. Joseph's Church.

The cornerstone was scheduled to be laid Sunday Aug. 15, 1880, but only eight days prior to this event Father Bric died of heart trouble. His funeral on Aug. 11 occasioned ''without question the greatest outpouring of people of all faiths that the northern section had ever witnessed, for the deceased had a city-wide reputation for public service."

The' pastor's body 'was ·placed in a tomb specially constructed iii the basement of the church at a point under the altar. His un­ timely passing,' he-wever, did not delay the scheduled cornerstane laying ceremony, conducted by Bishop Thomas F. Hendricken of Providence.

It -is interesting to note, that the' prelate was surrounded by "a dozen clergymen, including all those located in Fall River and a few from outside the city" and 'to consider the number of priests now serving the' Fall' River area.

Also indicative of Catholic growth is the comment made at the time by the Bishop: "Eight or nine years ago I found Fall River with but two Catholic churches.

Now we have not got enough with five or six, and what the city is to become God, only knows."

Subsequent Pastors Rev. John H. Gormley, curate of St. Joseph's l1nder Father Brie, was in charge of the parish until November, 1880, when Rev. Andrew J. Brady was appointed pastor. He was not, ~owever, in good health, and served St. Jo­ seph's only until February, 1885, when he died.

His funeral was the first reli­ gious service held in, the new church and his body was laid to rest beside that of Father Bric in the basement crypt. Two days later Sunday Mass and Vespers were held for the first time in the church. , Rev. Bernard Boylan followed Father Brady as St. Joseph's ,third pastor and he served the parish until 1925, a period of 40 years. Among Father Boylan's first tasks was preparation for the dedication of St. Joseph's, a ceremony which took place in May of '1885, again with Bishop Hendricken as presiding prelate.

The dedication completed, Father Boylan turned to organ­ ization of the parish Sunday school. He brought missioners into St. Joseph's for the parish's first mission, held in October, 1886. In 1887 he aided French­ Canadian residents of the area in' the formation of their own parish, St. Mathieu's.

Erection of a new rectory came next on Father Boylan's list of projects. In the Summer of 1889 the old residence was sold and moved and the present rectol7

ST. JOSEPH'S, FALL RIVER

was' constructed.

Spiritually the parish flour­ ished, with 'many societies and regularly scheduled missions and , on the social side parish picnics were a looked forward to annual event. The picnics, incidentally, have been revived in the past few years and are once more a high­ light of parish life.

Bazaars, dramatic' entertain. ments and coffee suppers were also on the parish social sched­ ule and an annual boat excursion was known as " the one' big Summer event of the north end."

It was continued from 1895 until the first' World War, when it be­ came impossible to charter pleasure boats.

Parish School St. Joseph's School was opened in 1907, and has always been staffed by the Sisters of Mercy.

They commuted from Mt. st; Mary Convent until 1949 when a convent was built adjacent to the school.

In 1923 Bishop Daniel F. Fee. han officiated at a solemn pon­ tifical Mass of thanksgiving to mark the golden jubilee of St. Joseph's Church. It was a high point of Father Boylan's long pastorate. _ In 1925 Father Boylan passed away and was succeeded in Jan. uary 1926 by Rev. Edward Carr, who renovated the rectory and was also responsible for the can­ onical erection of the Rosary Confraternity in the parish.

Among his curates was Rev., G,eorge E. Sullivan, now pastor 'of St. Joseph's. Father Carr served only a year at the North , End parish before being assigned to Sacred Heart Church. He was followed in January of 1927 by Rev. Joseph P. Lyons, who was to be at St. 'Joseph's nearly as long as Father Boylan, a total of 34 years.

Among accomplishments of Father Lyons were the purchase of the Br.i,ghtman Street parish hall of St. Joseph's Church, ren­ ovation of the church interior,

redecoration ,of the sanctuary and erection of the Sisters' convent.

The diamond jubilee of St. Joseph's was observed in 1948 and the renovation job was ac­ complished by that time. Parish. ioners recognized Father Lyons' . years of service on the occasion of his 50th anniversary as a priest, when they presented him with a statue of St. Joseph the Worker which holds a position ­ o! honor on the church grounds.

Spiritual Accomplishments Father Lyons is remembered by veteran parishioners as a caster of pithy sermons. He es­ tablished the Miraculous Medal novena in the parish, and was diligent in promotion of spiritual ' societies.

Many curates have served St. Joseph's in its long history, but none has had so long a term of office as Rev. Daniel F. Shalloo, assistant to Father Lyons for '19 ' years. Now administrator of St. ' Louis parish, Fall River, Father

Shalloo was accorded a memor_ able testimonial by the members of St. Joseph's when he left the parish.

The North End parish has been outstanding for its size in the number of priests it has given the Diocese and the religious communities of the Church. They include two sets of three broth_ ers each, a record probably' unique in the Diocese. They are Rev. William K. Dwyer, Msgr.

Daniel A. Dwyer and Rev. Rob. ert V. Dwyer; and Rev. William shovelton, Rev. Albert Shovel­ ton 'and Rev. Gerald Shovelton.

CARACAS (NC)-A projected new six million dollar campus for Venezuela's only Catholic university will be blessed by Jose Cardinal Quintero next Tuesday.

The Cardinal Archbishop of Caracas will be participating in the ceremonies marking the laying of the first cornerstone for the new 31-acre campus of Andres Bello Catholic Univer­ sity.

The 10-year-old Jesuit insti­ tution has launched a 15-year development pro g ram envi­ sioning an expansion from its current student total of 3,200 to an enrollment of 9,000.

Others are Msgr. Edward A. Higney, Rev. John A. Hurley, Rev. David F. Sheedy, Rev. Peter J. Malone, Rev. James R. Burns, Msgr. Patrick Collis, Msgr. John J. Shay, Msgr. John Kelly, Rev. Edward L. O'Brien, Rev. John Chippendale, Rev. David A. O'Brien.

Also Rev. Thomas F. Walsh, Rev. Thomas Cantwell, S.S.J., Rev. Hugh Austin, O. Carm., Rev. Edward Duffy, Father Shalloo, Rev. James Lyons, Rev. Bren­ dan McNally, S,J., and Rev. Henry Munroe.

Graduates of St. Joseph's School include Rev. Luke Del. mage, S.J., Rev. Ralph McPart­ land, O. Carm'., and Rev. James F. Greene.

Among Sisters who have come from the parish is Sister M. Mau­ ritia McNaboe, R.S.M., present superior of St. Joseph's Convent 'and a teacher at the parochial school.

In 1961 Father Lyons died and was succeeded by Rev. George E. Sullivan, returning as pastor to the parish where he had pre­ viously been a curate. Fathet Sullivan has undertaken exten. sive renovations to church, rec. tory and school. For the first time students are wearing uni­ forms and among 'new facilities they are enjoying is a school hall and all-purpose room, available for parish activities in . addition to the Brightman Street hall.

Curates at St. Joseph's are Rev. John F. Andrews and Rev. James W. Clark. With Father Sullivan 'they supervise activi. ties of the flourishing parish societies, including the Men's Club, Women's Guild, a sewing group for the Rose' Hawthorne Home, St. Vincent de Paul Soci­ ety, Boy Scouts, Legion of Mary,

CINCINNATI (NC) - Don't feel sorry for the "poor Sisters," one of them advised, because their religious vows are "more a source of joy than of restraint."

Speaking at pUblic receptions sponsored here and in Dayton in the past two' weeks by the Archdiocesan Vocation Endeavor (AVE) program, Sister Daniel Miriam, vocational director of the Sisters of Charity, declared: "The vows often are defined in a negative sense'-:-'Poor Sister, she can't have any money be­ cause of her vow of'poverty; or 'she can't have a family because of her vow of chastity; or she has no will of her own because of her vow of obedience.'

"The truth of the matter," she said, "is that by our vow of poverty we are relieved of the stress ,and worry connected .with financial matters; by our vow of chastity we have the privilege of engaging in a love affair with Almighty God; and by our vow of obedience there is order and unity in our family circle.

"Youth today need and want a meaningful, vital awareness of how to love and serve a· personal Christ. They need to be told that their happiness lies in fulfilling the role which from all eternity God chose for them," she said.

But they need to have this pointed out to them, she con­ tinued, and added that "the clergy, laity, and Sisters working - together can give them this in­ formation and understanding."

Sister Daniel Miriam said she was "a spokesman 'for 33 differ­ ent communities of Sisters doing the work' of the Church in this archdiocese. H

Court Declares Perpetual Care Funds Exempt

THE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 7, 1963

Prelate Asks Aid In Resettlement Of . Refug·ees

DETROIT (NC) - Cemetery trust funds for perpetual care and maintenance of grounds are tax exempt, a Circuit Court judge ruled here.

Judge John M. Wise ordered Michigan's Department of 'Reve­ nue to reimburse $3,700 in in­ tangible taxes to the White Chapel Memorial Cemetery.

Judge Wise said that state law requires cemeteries to set aside trust funds sufficient to consti­ tute a permanent fund which, when invested, can produce a large enough income to keep the grounds perpetually and in good condition. '!A cemetery' without trust funds and equipment for its up­ keep would soon deteriorate into an unsightly and disgraceful condition," he stated.

Necessary Function "In addition to the visual con­ dition of the cemeteries, from the public health and safety standpoint, the entire commu­ nity would be imperiled if the perpetual care and maintenance funds would be depleted," Judge Wise said.

The burial of the dead, he said, is a "necessary police, health and safety function" which would fallon tax-supported agencies of government if it was not provided through private corporations.

DETROIT (NC) - Arch­ bishop John F. Dearden of Detroit has called on his people to cooperate in a pro­ gram of resettlement of Cuban refugees in the Detroit area.

According to the Immigration Department, there are now some 350 Cuban refugees in Detroit.

Most of them have come here on their own or under private sponsorship.

The current effort is stressing official Catholic sponsorship at the parish level.

Parents Should Match Youths' Generosity Encouragement Means More Priestly Callings LOS ANGELES (NC) - An attorney who works "both sides of the street" says young people respond to religious vocations with an astonishing generosity which should be matched by parents.

Attorney John Ford, active in youth work and also in affairs of Serra International which encourages vocations to the priesthood, told 1,500 men at the Holy Name Union's 27th annual breakfast here: "It is our job to help our children find their true vocation and, if that vocation be the priesthood, to assist them along the way by encouragement, prayer and good example."

Ford, noting there are 1,500,-1 000 Catholics in the Los Angeles archdiocese, said that 13 priests were ordained here last year and eight priests died. He stressed • the proportion of: people to priests in the archdiocese is nearly twice the national rate.

Seminary Test "We are asking our priests to do nearly twice the work that priests in other parts of the country are called upon to do," the attorney emphasized: "Thank God that our young men are be­ ginning' to swell the ranks of seminarians and will begin soon· to swell the ranks·of our priests.

But we must do more."

Ford called on Holy Name men particularly to seek out, en­ courage and pray for vocations among their own sons.

He cited some familiar paren-· tal objections against permitting a boy to enter the seminary.

Some parents, he said, claim that a boy knows little of the priest­ hood and should be allowed to mature.

Discovery Shows Antiquity of Sacrament

THE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 7, 1963

Declares Church P.roperty Boosts Realty Values'

v A TIC A N CIT Y (NC) ­ L'Osservatore Romano. has re­ ported discovery of an ancient silver plate which gives evi­ dence that Extreme Unction was considered to be a sacrament as early as the first century after Christ.

The discovery reported by the Vatican City daily was. an­ nounced in Jerusalem. It is con­ sidered to be of great import-. ance since most of the other evidence for the antiquity of the sacrament dates mainly from the late fourth and fifth centuries.

As a result of the new dis­ covery, the daily said, it is evi­ dent that "as early as the first, century and while the Apostles were still living, Ext rem e Unction was considered a real grace-giving sacramental rite."

The silver plate, measuring two and a half by one inches, was bought from Arab nomads

by A. Spikerman, director of the Flagellation Museum of Jeru­ salem. Paleographer J.J. Milik dates the plate, which, has 17 lines of Aramaic engraved on it, back to the first century. Others have suggested that it was pro­ duced sometime between 70 and 90 A.D. L'qsservatore Romano sa i d that a translation of the inscrip­ tion showed that it "referred to the Judean Christian ritual of the unction of the sick, which was recommended and promul,. gated as a sacrament by the A'postle James. This means that this piece of silver represents the most ancient ritual of Mother Church."

Deni·es Cardinal Gave Interview BERLIN (NC) - The'Warsaw office of Stefan Cardinal Wys­ zynski, Primate of Poland, stated in the wake of an "exclusive interview" in a magazine that he had "given no interview to· any American magazine."

The statement also denied that the Cardinal had described Church-State relations in Poland as a "balancing act" between himself and. communist party first secretary Wladyslaw Go-· mulka.

The magazine article was written by Christine Hotchkiss, a native of Poland now residing' in the West, who said she talked to Cardinal Wyszynski while he was in Rome for the Ecumenical Council.

In New York, a magazine spokesman stated: "Our story on' Cardinal Wyszynski is authentic and we stand by it. Anyone who knows the political situation in Poland can easily understand the denial."

Newman. Club Plans Courses in Religion CHAMPAIGN (NC) The Newman Foundation at the Uni­ versity of Illinois here will offer five credit coursell in religion during the Spring semester, Father Edward J. Duncan, foun. dation director announced.

NEW ORLEANS (NC)­ A real estate expert says property values are "immed­ iately stabilized and increas­ ed when land is purchased for, a church and school in a resi­ dential area."

Daniel F. Sheehan Sr., of St. Louis, who was installed as president at the National Asso­ ciation of Real Estate Boards' annual convention here, said that upon purchase of property in a residential development for lo­ cation of a church and school "the demand immediately steps up values for property in that area."

Sheehan, a leader in civic and archdiocesan affairs in St. Louis, pointed out there is a demand both by people with young children because of the accessi­ bility of school and by older couples because of the nearness of church. "'The demand for resale is also increased," he stressed.

Sheehan also said that slum clearance has an "instant im­ pact" when the area being re­ newed is in downtown section of a city.

"One project seems to spur on another," he said. "It's an in­ centive to develop in the down­ town area."

Says Reds Offer Most to Lure Promising Students to Russia NEW BERLIN (NC) - Com­ munists recruiting Latin Amer­ ican students for study in the Soviet Union offer the most to get the best, according to a Bo­ livian exchange student at Cath­ olic Memorial High School here in Wisconsin.

And the communists do not pinch pennies in their recruiting efforts, he said, because the grants they offer include all ex­ penses: transportation, books, room, board and other items.

Offer Everything Walter Pino, 17, said the long paw of the Russian bear reaches as far as his hometown of Tarija, a city of some 20,000 in southern Bolivia. .

"They try to recruit our best students," he said. "They give scholarships to schools in the Soviet Union. The student can choose his field of study."

Urges Cau....on in Reading So,viet Propaganda, Novel

God Love You

By Most Rev. Fulton J.

a

Questions Worth , This department has read the "official version" of the novel, and has no intention of reading . the unofficial one. Once is enough. And having read it, we still are wondering as to its sig­ nificance and worth.

It comes rather heavily intro­ need. Marvin L. Kalb, Moscow oorrespondent for CBS news, has written a seven-page introduc­ tion, and following that comes a three-page foreword by ,A. Tvardovsky, an officer of the Union of Soviet Writers.

Mr. Kalb gives us a little about the author's background, based ,OIl the scanty material made available concerning this pre­ :..;viously unheard of and still ob­ scure figure.

Solzhenitsyn was born in 1918; he was brought up in Rostov; he majored in physics and mathematics at the univer­ sity there. Drafted into the Red Army during World War II, he commanded an artillery battery and was twice decorated for bravery. In February 1945 he was arrested, perhaps for a dero­ gatOTY remark about Stalin. • He was in prison camp for the next eight years, being released after Stalin's death. He had to live in exile in Central Asia un­ til after Khrushchev's 1956 speech denouncing Stalin. He then became a teacher of mathe­ matics and in his spare time worked on the present novel. his first publication.

Im,prlsoned for Treason The central figure in his book is somewhat younger than the author, and' his antecedents ,are 90mewhat different. For exam­ ple. Shukhov(as thepro1ago­ nist is called throughout) was not a city dweller like Solz­ henitsyn, but lived in a country district. His being sentenced to prison camp came about in a ~erent way.

He had been in the Army, and 'in 1942, while on the northwest front, had been in a mass of soldiers surrounded by the Nazis.

The Germans had rounded them

He was promptly arrested and tried for high treason, the charge being that he had surrendered to the Germans .with the intention of betraying hill country. To escape being shot, he had signed a confession and had' been given 10 years.

But it was the custom that completion of a sentence would be immediately followed by its being doubled. As we meet him, he has served eight years, with two to go, yet having no as­ surance that he would then be freed.

Prison Life As the title indicates, we are taken through a single day in prison camp life as experienced

by Shukhov. The camp is in the north, where severe cold pre­ vails and the ground is snow­ covered.

'Shukhov spends his nights in a filthy barracks housing 400 men, .his days at excruciatingly hard work under the most ad­ verse conditions.

The days begin at five o'clock, The prisone~ are routed out of their cramped and miserable bunks. On this day'Shukhov is feeling ill, and thinks about getting medicai attention and release from the day's labor. He is denied both,' and must apply himself as if he were wholly fit.

Reaction, to Adversit:r Throughout the day, every­ thing is a battle. It is a ,battle, for example, to get the meagre amount of food doled out to the inmates; to prevent one's few, shabby possessions from being stolen; to avoid being savaged by the brutal guards and their fierce dogs; to escape being de­ nounced by informers among the prisoners.

It is a battle to find materials and tools for the tasks appointed; to be on time for the innumer­ able countings of the prisoners; to keep from freezing to death during the ll-hour labor stretch out on the steppe.

This is a well constructed work, constantly holding the reader's interest. The vulgaritiea and obscenities of speech quick­ ly lose their power to shock, but the inhumanity calculatingly at work .in the victimizing of the prisoners is as harrowing at the end as at the beginning.

Incredible HolTors There is evidence here that the spirit of man can endure and survive incredible horrors and suffering's.

• But one constantly wonders about the purpose of Khrushchev in allowing the book's publica­ tion. Obviously he permitted it to appear because of its propa­ ganda value within Russia, at a time when he is still eontending with stubborn Stalinists.

It could have the same effect in Communist countries where Stalin's reputation has not yet been destroyed. But what is the ,-object of its release to the free world? Deponent knoweth not, but urges caution on the reader.

Teachers at Catholic Schools Call Strike IlENl't"'ES (NC) - Teachers in Catholic private schools in the department (state) ,of Ule-et­ Vilaine here 1n France went on strike for a day to protest the govern'!1ent's delay in paying them their wages.

Many of the teachers, who are under contract to the gover.n. ment, nave not yet been paid for the month of December. Delays in paying teachers in Catholic institutions have also been re­ ported in other departmenti.

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy ON how many novels do you find the label "ONLY AUTHORIZED VERSION"? And, in the rare, if not unique, mstance when, startled, you do encounter it, what do you take it to mean? Well, it is displayed on the jacket of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan 'up, and Shukhov had been in Denisovich, or at least on captivity for a day or two, then ~t away and reached the Soviet the version of this novel lines.

other American

publisher, Fred­

erick Praeger,

under the same

• title, but minus the "official" designation.

Need it be said that this is a Soviet novel?

It first appeared last year in a .Russian magazine Novy Mir, and is said to have caused a sensa­ tion in the U.S.S.R. It is • seemingly candid account of life in a forced labor camp in the days of Stalin.

Dutton signed contract with the Soviet office which handles .the rights of Russian authors, hence its claim to having the. only "official version" of the book. Praeger, on the other band, is doing precisely what the Soviets do in the case of American books which they wish to print in Russia.

The Soviets do not adhere to lite international cop y rig h t agreement. They grab what they like, asking no leave and paying flO royalties. Praeger secured a copy of the present work in Russian, had it translated, and is bringing it out without per­ mission 'and with no payment· of royalties. .

Shee~

Consider three very important Councils of the Church, and you will see how the world has shifted. At the Council of Nicea in 325, there were 318 bishops' present; only six were from Europe.

'In other words, Ule Near East, the Eastern world or the Orientals dominated. At the Council of Trent (1545-1563) there were only 15 Orientals; the Council was predominatly Latin or European.

By this time the Church has also lost the major portion of the Anglo-Saxon and Nordic worlds. The Council of the Vatican in 1870 was practically all European-there was not a single bishop from Africa or Asia.

Urge Confession For Protestants TORONTO (:ro.~)-The United.

Church of, Canada's committee on Christian faith has advocated confessions for Protestants-sim­ ilar to the sacrament of Penance of the Catholic Church. , "Many people believe that one' of the special advantages of Protestanism is ,that 'you ,don't have to go to confession: but while this statement is verballT correct it could be misleading," the·committee's report said.

The report recalled that corr~ fession was stressed by Martin Luther and John Calvin. It said while confession "can 'be, and has been abused and become the occasion of clerical tyranny," that is no reason for refusing to make proper use of an important means of .Christian nurture."

"There' are times when con­ fession should be made to a trusted Christian friend," the report said. "When it becomes a matter of forgiving sin, it is clear that God Himself must be chief actor, though in His mercy He may allow men to be minis­ ters and mediators of His for­ giveness."

'Wroq, Degradinr Rev. Dr. E. M. Howse of Bloor Street United c~urch, comment­ ing on the report, said: "It • quite a common thing for people to confess their sins to ministen -and to doctors and, lawyers, for that matter. A sympathetic person can be a great help."

The United Church report wu branded as un-Protestant by BeY. Dr. A. W. Tozer of the Christiaa and Missionary Alliance. Rev. Harold C. Slade of Jarvis Street Baptist church said "the confes­ sional is wrong and degrading."

He saw this report as coming because ecumencal groups such as the World Council of Churcheil are "drifting towards Roman­ ism."

Nun,cio Lauds Papal Volunteers in Peru CHICAGO (NC)-High praise for the Papal Volunteera work­ ing in Peru was contained in a message received here from Archbishop Rom 0 10 carboni, Papal Nuncio to Peru~ ' The message, received at the national secretariat 01. the Papal Volunteers for Latin }\merica (PAVLA), also ~sthat more Papal Volunteers be aeDt ...

'Peru.

"Day b;r day," Archbishop Carboni says ill the letter, "the work of the Papal Volunteers in Peru becomes more important, and as time' passes we wonder how we have been able to get along without th~. They seem to be mixed up in everything worthwhile, from nursing in the cities to youth work·in the su~ urbs, from teaching to public relations, even to the very organ­ izing of Peruvian Papal Volun­ teer groups."

Now consider this Second Vatican Council. There are 9'71 representatives from North, South a.nd Central America. AsIa has 360 Conciliar Fathers; Africa, 296. .

Europe, which had dominated since Trent, now has only about 112 more than the Americas, or 38 per cent of the total rep­ resentation. The shift is, to the mission world. Of the new representations (Asia, Africa and the Americas), only one country is rich-the United States. We are like a palace in a vast slum, a well-stocked re­ frigerator in a eity devastated by hunger.

It is enough to make us tremble!

When the average American Catholic: spends $36 a year on cigarettes and gives the Holy Father, who asked that he be aided "first and principally," an average per capita contribution of only 27 cents a year to help all of the poor missions of the world, there is cause for examination of our national con­ science. We must give thought to whether we have. ri&ht to build great churches, schools, convents and libraries without giving at least one-tenth of one per cent of that sum to the missionary bishops of Africa and Asia, some of whom slept three in a room at the Council because they could not pay for their Own quarters. We must give thought . . . and we must act!

Remove Chaplains for Protesting Pardon of Gestapo Leaders PARIS (NC) -Two Catholic prison chaplains who publicly protested thl amnesty granted to two formel Gestapo leaders .~ who were serving life terms in . a Paris prison have been re­ moved from their posts at the request of the Minister of Justice.

Jesuit F:lthers Andre Legouy and Joseph Jaouen were relieved of their duties as chaplains at the Fresnes political prison, on the outskirts of Paris. They had written to the leading daily, Le Monde, joining in the protest against the government's pardon of Gen Karl Oberg and Col. Hel­ mut Knochen, who had been major Gestapo leaders in France during World War II. Sentences Commuted Oberg and Knochen had been tried by a French court 16 years earlier on charges of being among the main war criminals..

They were accused of sharing major responsibility for the cru­ -e!ties inflicted on imprisoned and tortured Jews.

SYDNEY (NC) - The lay apostolate started early for six­ month-old Joseph Van Haren who received" a medal as his parents and 11 other lay mission­ ·aries received mission crosses at the close of a week's training .., here. Auxiliary Bishop James Carroll of Sydney presented the medal to the baby and the crosses to the 13 who have vol. unteered to serve in South Pacific missions.

Both received the death sen­ -tence. Execution was delayed, and the late President Rene Coty commuted the penalty to life imprisonment several years later.

In protesting the release of the two former Gestapo leaders, Fathers Legouy and Jaouen told Le Monde that pardoning them would make it morally impos­ sible to keep in jail all those stilI imprisoned for less serious offenses.

After publication of' the prison chaplains' letter, Minister of Justice Jean Foyer-who had ordered the clemency with the apparent approval of the Cabi­ net and President Charles de Gaulle-requested Maurice Car­ dinal Feltin, Archbishop of Paris, to have the priests re­ moved Cardinal Feltin in turn passed the request on to the Jesuit Provincial in Paris, Father Durand-Veil, who relieved the priests of their chaplaincies.

Urges Catholics, Jews to Remove Hostile Attitude KANSAS CITY (NC) ­ A rabbi said here that Cath­ olic - Jewish understanding can be greatly speeded up if both faiths remove the misrep­ resentation and hostllity .in "textbook instruction about each other."

The call of Pope John for mu­ tual esteem will not bring re· suIts if Catholics and non-Cath. olics contradict this appeal by "anti" teachings in textbooks, said Rabbi Marc M. Tanenbaum of New York.

The director of interreligious affairs of the American Jewish Committee spoke at a Catholic­ Jewish symposium at Rockhurst Community Relations Bur e a u and the Ratisbonne Center of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Sion.

Based on Knowledge Rabbi Tanenbaum said that unless Christians and Jews set in motion "a cycle of mutual understanding based on a more exact knowledge of theirrespec­ tive histories and traditions," they may find the present "ecu­ menical afterglow" fading before their eyes.

He asserted that "on one level" the "hard work" to be done in­ cludes the folowing: "To remove the inherited and nondoctrinal sources of misrep­ resentation and 'hostility that still resides in far too much of our textbook instruction about each other; "To orient properly teachers in our respective religious schools in interreligious relations; and "To educate our parents in how to communicate positive at-. titudes about others to their children."

New Approach ".Of what avail," he continUed, "w111 be the call of Pope John and the Fathers of the Ecumen. ical Council for growing senti­ ments 'between Catholics and non-Oatholics for 'mutual es­ teem' if this is contradicted by anti.Jewish teachings in local textbooks? Or in an anti-Jewish personal attitude of a parish teacher?

"Similarly, for the Jew, how can he in good faith and realism expect Christians to adopt a 'new approach' to Judaism and the Jewish people if he continues to harbor and to instruct the next generation in anti.Gentile attitudes inherited from medi­ eval periods of persecution and polemical disputations?"

.5 B.C. Law Dean Discusses Family Standards Council Purpose 'At Temple BethEL Adult Institute THE ANCHORrhurs., Feb. 7,

By Patricia McGowan "We mu~t face the ~ure, c~~f~s~on! or some

fact that mi~?se of sex is a sin, not merely the result of pres­ other f~ctor. Thus declared. Rev. Robert F. Drinan, S.J., speak­ mg on. CrISIS In Sexual and FamIly Standards" at the Adult Institute of Temple Beth EI, Fall RIver. The dean of Boston College Law School emphasized the unhappy position of children in families of di­ vorce. Fathers should be re· fused permission to remarry unless children of a first

marriage are adequately pro­ vided for, he said.

"And I don't just mean food and clothing, but provision for college education and for such extras as music or dancing les­ sons," he said, noting that such children are entitled to every­ thing they would have had if the home had not been disrupted.

"This country must adopt some clearcut philosophy regulating sexual and family matters," said Father Drinan. He cited preva­ lence of divorce, growth of ju­ venile delinquency and the rise of illegitimate births as factors necessitating such clarification.

Three agencies should join to solve the problem, said the Jes­ uit: the church and synagogue; the state; and the family.

Freudian Influence Freudian influence has brought about an ambiguity in sexual standards, said the speaker.

"Never before has there been such an obsession with sex as now."

Freud and his followers brought about a relaxation of sex u a I standards, explained Father Drinan, adding that sex should not be taught divorced from its context in marriage, as is sometimes done in so-called sex courses offered in schools.

The notion that pre-marital sex experience contributes to good marital relations was scouted on practical grounds by Father Drinan.

"Statistics show that the most stable, happy marriages are those between two previously chaste persons."

Considering the roots of the

present crisis in family stand­ ards, Father Drinan noted that the Jewish community in the United States had the lowest divorce rate of any group. He attributed this to the strong sense of family inculcated by the Jewish religion. I'll other groups, he ,averred, the basic problem seems to stem from the willing. ness of parents to abandon or semi-abandon children.

"If a person wants a second marriage, 'he all but' abandons the children of hJs first marriage.

Seek Million Self-seeking is predominant, and NEW YORK (NC) - Francis there is no care for the children Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop involved."

With regard to visitation rights of New York, has designated March 24 to April 3 for the 44th of divorced parents, Father Dri. annual fund appeal of New York nan commented that research Catholic Charities with a goal seems to show that it may be

worse for children to see both

of $3,460,000. parents on an intermittent basis than to stay with one.

Shocking Statistics Among statistics cited by the law school dean were those of children of divorced families­ some 12,000,000 in the United States; and those of divorces granted annually - 400,000, or one-fourth to one-third of all marriages.

"The idea of permanent love between two partners has been eroded down the arches of the years," declared Father Drinan.

ConclUding, he stated "We don't need any more sex infor­ mation, we need clarification of - principles and inspiration to follow them."

Father Drian has s p 0 ken previously in the Fall River Temple lecture series and was requested to return by vote of the audience. He will speak at three other Temples in the next few weeks and is then going to Israel to deliver a lecture series.

To Meet Crisis Of Modern Age SAN FRANCISCO (NC) -The Second Vatican Coun­ cil was convoked to meet "the crisis of dizzy speed and

changes in man's environment" in the modern age, San Fran­ cisco's Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken 'told the Common­ wealth Club here.

As to results of the first ses­ sion, the Archbishop observed: "I think the best thing we can say is that we have plowed the field and planted the seeds. The harvest should come in the sec­ ond session, which is to convene on Sept. 8." .

The prelate emphasized ther. was no actual crisis within the Church, "no widespread heresiet to be condemned, nor an, danger of schism" concerned with calling the Council. He said it was called to face the "crisis of the modern age."

He said in this "scientific age man thinks and speaks in a new ~ language, while religious truths, expressed in outmoded forms, are hardly attractive - hardly ,• even comprehensive to modem

j

'

man."

Three Reasons "Pope John XXIII gave three broad reasons for convoking the .

New Catechisms

. In Eleme.ntary School Courses.

QUEBEC (NC) - Bishops who are members of the Catho­ lic Committee on Public Instruc­ tion in the Quebec province have approved a reduction from seven to six years in the catechism courses for French-languag~ele­ mentary schools.

As a result new catechisms being designed to aid children's thinking and ease their study will be introduced in the schools in September, 1964. There will be three catechisms - one for the first two years, another for the third and fourth grades and the third for the fifth and sixth grades. .

New Presentation Father Jean Marie Tardiff of the Provincial Catechistic Of­

'Enemies Threaten Church 'in Brazil

fice said the new catechisms wm lean more heavily on the Bible.

He commented: "It is evident the doctrine will not be changed but the presentation, will ' be completely new; it will depend more on the Bible, will be more adapted to children's thinking and will be easier to study."

The Bishops of Quebec ap­ pointed three priests, who are diocesan directors of religious training, to assist in preparation of the new catechisms - Father Reg ina 1 d Marsolais of the Joliette diocese; Father Marcel Caron of the Ste. Anne de la'

Pocatiere diocese, and Father

Jean Paul BerUbe of the Rimou­

Educator Warns Businessmen. Set Houses in Order TORRINGTON (NC) - A plea for American business­ men to "set their houses in order" and root out dishonest practices was made to a group of executives here by a specia­ list in business education.

Father William C. McInnes,' S.J., associate dean of the Bos­ ton College school of business administration, told the.. Tor­ rington area Industrial Manage­ ment Club that business must po~ice itself or some outside agency such as the government will be forced to do the job.

"Today," he said, "there seems to be widespread apathy toward the common' good and an even more widespread sympathy f<>r the cbmmon crook."

'Everyone Doing It' Father McInnes declared that "everyone knows that stealing is wrong, yet we read in the press a sympathetic account of why a million dollar embezzler did what· he did." He said stealing today is lightly regarded "beca1,l5e everyone seems to be doing it."

"We have in the mid-20th century developed a double standard," the, Jesuit educator declared. '''Just as some busi­ nesses keep two sets of books, one for themselves and another for taxes, businessmen have a tendency to keep a standard for their business lives and a stand­ ard for their private lives.

"In both ins tan c e s," ...he charged, "a total audit is rarely taken." .

Restore Conscience Father McInnes said the American free enterprise sys­ tem exists because the social structure permits it. But he warned that "as abuses continue, we may find more and more control of business entel'>prise taken over by the government.

Out~de solutions may be en­ forced because society may deem' that businesses do not assume their proper responsibilities."

He called fur a return to self­ control, a restoration of con­ science in business activity and the use of "courage and imagina­ tion" to solve the problem.

"If we expect a code of ethics to .be adhered to by our public officials, we must also expect a code or a standard to be fol­ lowed by our business and pro­ fessional leaders," he said.

Holy Cross Pledges WORCESTER (NC)-Pledges rotaling more than $3 million have been made to the $20,400,­ 000 development program of Holy Cross College, Father Ray­ mond J. Swords, S.J., president, has announced

DAYTON (NC)-Mutual love and confidence as well as justice must be the goals of those who work for better race relations, Bishop Paul F. Leibold declared here.

Describing racial segregation as "a cancer in the body politic of our great democracy," the prelate called for a program of constructive action "inspired by charity."

"The inertia of holding to the old ways is not the answer," he added.

The Auxiliary Bishop of Cin­ cinnati was the principal speaker at the annual breakfast of the Miami Valley (Dayton) Catho­ lic Interracial Council. Prior to the breakf.ast council members attended a special Mass at Sacred Heart Church.

In his address Bishop Leibold called interracial relations "one phase of the Christian renewal envisioned by our Holy Father in calling the Ecumenical Coun­ cil" He recalled that in their first official pronouncement last October the bishops assembled at the Council declared peace and social justice to 'be the two questions of major moment to­ day.

"The Church, the C 0 U neIl Fathers noted, is most necessary in today's world to denounce injustices, indignities, and ine­ qualities and to restore the true order of things and goods, so that the life of men may be more fiiJ.mane~according to the prin­ ciples of the Gospel," the Bish­ op said.

Program of Action Twenty years ago, he recalled, the U.S. Bishops declared that "history imposes on us a special obligation of jilstice .to see that our fellow citizens of the Negro race have· in fact the rights which are given them in our Constitution." . "It is the duty of every citi­ zen," the statement continued, "to do everything in his power to relieve racial tensions."

The work of Catholics in this area therefore will be "a pro­ gram of action," Bishop Leibold said.

"The inertia of holding to the old ways is not the answer. But it must be a program of construc­ tive, not destructive action, a positive approach aimed at de­ veloping the good, not negative spent in 'declaiming evil," he said.

ST. PAUL (NC)-WhiIe sup­ porting a state Sunday closing law, a group of Minnesota reli­ gious leaders has emphasized the need to educate citizens to do their buying on the other days of the week.

This is the oonclusion of a report issued by the Minnesota Council of Churches department of Christian Social Relations. A priest - consultant, Father Ter­ rence J. Murphy of St. Thomas College, helped the committee that prepared the report.

Four arguments for Sunday legislation were given: that it would protect the individual from· exploitation, promote the general welfare of society, pre­ vent damage to the business community, and assist in pro­ tecting standards of organized labor.

The report also listed the ar­ guments opposing a Sunday law: that it would penalize those ad­ hering to a different day of rest, interfere with individual free­ dom, hamper complete freedom of economic forces, and that Sun­ day openings would help those needing extra part time wotk.

" He designs the coats-of-arms for many of the new members of the American Hierarchy. Ryan only recently completed the her­ aldic signatures of America's :rtwo newest Bishops-Auxiliary Bishops John J. Dougherty and Joseph A Costello, of Newark.

Why do Bishops have coats-of­ arms? "The simplest reason," Ryan replies, "is that they are demanded by the Vatican."

"Used as a seal," he noted, "the .coat-of-arms authenticates episcopal acts.' Every abbot, bishop, archbishop and cardinal in the Church must have one, as well as some Vatican offi­ cials."

'License Plates' The origin of the coat~of-arms, Ryan _explained, "lies in medi· eval days. Knights engaged in battle, wearing heavy armor and visor, had to have some way of distinguishing friend from foe.

The bishops of those days were themselves feudal lords, whose property had to be defended. So they, too, adopted what I like to

Jesuit Educator Tells 'Reason

Johnny's Math Stumps Dad

NEW ORLEANS (NC)­ There's more truth than fiction in the story about the boy whose math homework Unproved the week his father was away on a trip and couldn't help him with it. ·According to Father John F. Keller. S.J., chairman of the mat h 'e mat i c s department at Loyola University here, "it signifies the difference between math as it is being taught today and how it was taught a genera­ tion ago."

"Simply stated, the 'why' has rep 1ace d the 'how'," Father Keller said.

The Jesuit educator empha­ sized that it is not a question of the main body of mathematical or geometrical knowledge having changed appreciably.

Change in Approach "Although we have incorpor­ ated the great discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries, the big change is in the approach and the way it is presented in the classroom," he said.

"We used to try to train mathematics students in the same way that we would train a piano student in finger control or a medical student in handling a scalpel.

"We'd show the student how to work one problem and then re­ quire him to work 10 more like it."

"Now we prefer to teach them why," he declared.

Trend to Continue He said the emphasis today is on structure. Ideas and prin­ ciples are being linked logically into a tighUy knit structure.

Father Keller said that in the past 10 years approximately 90 per cent of all colleges have re­ vised their curricula in mathe­ matics. More than 50 per cent of our high schools have done so in the past five years. And in the last two or three years wide-

Pope Sends Candles To Red Countries VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope John announced that he is send­ ing to countries behind the Iron Curtain the candles he received in a Vatican ceremony on the Feast of the Purification.

The candles were given to the Pope as tribute by representa­ tives of Rom e ' I basilicas, churches, colleges, seminaries, religious congregations and other religioUll organizations. In the annual ceremony, two ecclesias­ tics from each organization passed before the Pope in an hour-long procession to present their candles.

The Pope said during his reg­ ular weekly general audience that he was sending' the candles to Iron curtain countries "so that they may recognize the purity of spirit found in all and that we may be more attentive to what spreads truth, peace, true justice and the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ."

Declares Revelation Draft Too Ne~ative

WINNIPEG (NC)-Archbishop G. B. Flahiff of Winnipeg told an interfaith meeting here that the Ecumenical Council's project on Revelation had to be re­ WOrded because it was too nega­ tive.

The controversial schema on Revelation was sent back for more committee work by order of Pope John. The Pope's order followed several days of debate on the draft.

Revelation, said Archbishop Flahiff, has Christ as its source; the Holy Bible and constant Christian teaching are its twin streams.

spread c han g e s have been brought in at elementary level. ''This means that students are reaching a mathematical matu­ rity m'uch earlier than hereto­ fore," Father Keller stated.

"Math topics previously taught only at the college leve.l are more frequently found in the. high school curriculum, and topics being taught to grade school children today were for­ merly . found only at the high school level.

"It is not unusual to find grade school children studying the beginnings of geometry and algebra," Father Keller said.

"And this trend will continue."

Reports Reasons For Football FRESNO (NC) - The Board of Education of the Monterey­ Fresno diocese approved a re­ port spelling out the purpose, place and cost of interscholastic football in the diocesan high schools.

Msgr. Patrick Hannon, assist­ ant superintendent of schools, who prepared the report, said: "Football in Catholic high schools is not to insure enroll­ ment, satisfy :)restige needs of some students, parents and lay supporters or to compete with public schools; but to help meet certain physical, 'Psychological and social needs of the players and to provide an acceptable student activity that can be valuable for all concerned.

"As a ~dern tribal rite it suffers only when proper autho­ rity .fails to exercise reasonable control."

Sees Chinese Reds

Fi~htinq Russians

LOS ANGELES (NC)-If the United States does not intervene, Russia and China are more like­ ly to bury each other rather than the West, according to Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce.

The playwright and former Congresswoman, who is a COB­ vert to the Catholic Faith, be­ lieves the true reason for Sino­ Soviet quarrelling was not ideo­ logical.

"It is caused by China's des­ perate need for land areas iD which to find room for her bur­ geoni~g population, and the nearest open spaces are Manchu­ ria, Siberia and Yakutsk" she said. . "The Chinese communists are laying the foundation for a fight with Russia by leaving room' for picking an ideological quarrel," she observed.

Holy Father Recalls ~rief Sports Career VATICAN CITY (NC) -The ventures of Pope John into the sporting world were, by his own admission, short and involuntary.

After an audience which the Pope granted to delegates to the first Italian National Sports Convention, he was introduced to the Beneck sisters, Italy's swimming champions.

Pope John admitted to them: "Once a long time ago I was forced to swim. It was the first but also the last time."

He thought for a moment about his other sporting endeav­ ors and then added, "As a young man I took part in many run. ning competitions: miles of run­ ning with a haversack on my back. I can assure you that I never came in first."
