Fr.

That was the word received to day from Rev. John G. Carroll, ad ministrator of the Westport parish. Father Carroll, a firm believer And advocate of good Catholic read ing, has consistently urged his par ishioners to subscribe to this dioces 'an newspaper, the largest weekly in Southeastern Massachusetts. "We were there last year and we have

hit our mark again this year," said the Westport administrator as he referred to complete family parish coverage. "It is true, as you said last week, that the best way for my people to learn about the imminent liturgy changes is to follow our own diocesan newspaper," Fr. Carroll asserted. "There will be reasons and ex planations for the changes. It will be most difficult, in the time allotted for a Sunday Mass sermon, to go into these changes in depth so that

Breviary Changes Aim At Better Prayer Life .

By Rev. John R. FoIster

st. Anthony Church -

New Bedford

As of Sunday, your parish priest (s) will be praying for you in a different way. The Church does not think you can get along on less prayer in this modern age. Rather, she hopes that the priests' prayer will only be more fruitful since it will be more mean longer fulfilling its role in the ingful and adapted.. Pope prayer-life of the Church. Paul decided this in his re "The present-day office is a marvelous compilation of read ient letter, saying: "Although the Divine Office has not yet been revised and renewed * * * we nevertheless &,rant immediately the fol Jowin!:' permission flo all who are oblil:-ed to recite the Divine Office. From Feb. 16, m recitation of the Office outside of choir, they may emit the hour of prime and choose from amon~ the three other Little Hours one that best suits the time of day, always without prejudice to the dispositions of Articles 95 and 96 of the Constitution." (Article 95 refers to those who must recite office in eommon (as community); Article 96 . refers to the obligation on those in major orders or those solemnly professed of prayioc tbe divine office daily.)

The Rev. Godfrey Diekmann, O.S.B., a leading American litur gical scholar and official expert of the Ecumenical Council, des cribed some of the thorough re form d·ue for the breviary in a recent article for the NCWC News Service. The Benedictine scholar points out that the Bishops in council were convinced that in mQny respects the brevia17 walJAO

ings, especially from the Bible, psalms, hymns, and prayers but its form and· arrangement are complicated, repetitious, and formalistic," stated Fr Frederick McManus, another liturgist. This "Office" each priest prays daily for the Church in general, and as a delegate of the Church, in union· with the praises Christ Turn to Page Six

everyone will understand them. This is the job of The Anchor. And, I know The Anchor will diligently try to do a good job in this respect." "It has been said that the dioce san newspaper is the right arm of the parish pulpit," Fr. Carroll com mented. "This is a good illustration of the point." St. John the Baptist parish set the goal for every other parish in the diocese last year. It will be out front again this year. Meeting the parish quota has

never been a problem for Fr. Car roll's Westport parish. St. John the Baptist accomplished that objective years ago. St. 'John the Baptist has also proved that complete family coverage is also an attainable goal. There are a number of other parishes, scattered throughout the diocese,which also have their sights set on complete family coverage and we hope·to be able to announce their names next week. Many parishes, we know,' have already exceeded their relatively small quotas.

:KEW ORLEANS (NC) - Refusal of the Peking gov ernment to accept American fann surpluses is the only thini~ that stands in the way 'Df U. 5" ai~ to Red China, Msgr. Joseph J. Harnett said here. . The Far East director of Cath olic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Conference,s, whose headquarters are in Sai gon,Vietnam, said Red China will "never admit" it needs U.S. foodstuffs. He said he expects the door to remain closed. The U. S. government, under the late President Kennedy, he said, offered Red China food just for the asking. From a humanitarian stand point, said Msgr. Harnett, food assistance should be given to any country, regardless l)f whether it strengthens an athl~ istic regime. Diem Regime 'Good' MBgr. Harnett was in New Ol~ leanB for a meeting with South ern diocesan directors for the Bishops' Relief Fund Appeal, which will be conducted nation wide from March 1 to 8.

Bishops Advance Vernacular Plans WINNIPEG (NC) - Canada's Bishops will prepare both En glish and French translations for coming liturgical changes and probably will meet in the Spring to approve them. This was announced by Arch bishop G. B. Flahiff, C.S.B., of Winnipeg, chairman of the board of the Canadian Catholic Con ference of Bishops, in a letter to local priests. The prelate said that once the translations and decrees on liturgical revisions are approved, the Canadian Hierarchy will submit them to, the Holy See for confirmation. He said that "in the near future" vernacular will be used in certain parts of the Mass, in the sacraments and sacramentals and in the divine office said daily by priests.

clergymen here that he expecta' the third session of the ecumen ical council to adopt statementa on religious freedom and Chri9 tian-Jewlsh relations. Declarations on these two is. sues currently form chapter. four and five of the council'. five-chapter schema on ecumen ism. Failure of the council', second session, which ended ill December, to deal with them conclusively was a cause of re gret for many participants. Archbishop Dearden, a mem ber of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity and the ecumenical council's theological commission, spoke at a luncheon sponsored by the Metropolitan Detroit Council of Churches. It was held at the Jefferson Avenue United Pres byterian church. He predicted approval of the chapters on religious freedom and Christian-Jewish relation. during a question and answer session following his address ia which he related his experienCe8 . at the council. Two Quesions The Archbishop discounted re ports blaming "conservative> opposition for the council's fail ure to approve the two chapterL Instead, h~ said, it was simply lack of sufficient time for dis cussion that prevented the coun cil from acting on them. He Said the council Fathera

were unanimous in approving

the· doctrinal soundness ,of the

two chapters.

However, he added that two questions had been raised about the statement 'on Christian-JeW ish relations: first, how to wotc1 it so as to avoid political over 'tones; second, whether or not the ecumenism schema-chiefly concerned with the issue' of Christian unity-was the proper place for such a statement.

Bishop Russell Sounds Warning On Neutralism

Pope Paul Says United Europe Worthy Ideal

WASHINGTON (NC) A bishop voiced a warning here against a new philo sophy of neutralism which is

VATICAN CITY (NC) Pope Paul VI praised the "great ideal" of a united Europe and defended the

lowering the nation's moral standards. President and Mrs. Johnson and Chief Justice Earl Warren were in the congregation dotted with dignitaries at the capital's annual Red Mass and he~~d Bishop John J. Russell of Richmond, Va., assert: "Now in our day there has emerged a new philosophy of conduct begetting a lowering of moral standards. There is today in America a widespread belief in the nation at large that the government should be neutral concerning religion or non reli gion - should be neutral or in different to the presence or absence of faith in the hearts of the people;" Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle' of Washington presided at the Mass which was offered by Auy:i1iary Bishop Philip A. Han nan of Washington in St. Mat thew's cathedral. "As commentators and ob servers of the contemporary scene have noted," Bishop Rus sell said, "our society stands to day in confrontation with a fragmentation, an erosion' or even a denial of those firmly held moral principles derived froM religious faith, confirmed by the light of natural reason and placed by our God-fearing forefathers in those imperishable legal documents by the light of whose wisdom we have lived in peace and prospered. Morality Outmoded!

"It seems that it has become a

question in the minds of many,"

the Bishop continued, "whether

the morality of our forefathers

even though originally it was

made a part of our civil law is

now outmoded and should be

superseded by some new mora

lity based on the mores of the

people, or what is worse, based

on the least common donomina

tor of those principles which

can conveniently be insisted

upon in our society."

Bishop Russell expressed hope

"that the progress of this purely

pragmatic and opportunist philo

sophy will be checked" and

there will be a renewal "of an

abiding appreciation of those

unc"'>nging moral values taught

Church's right to judge politics according to the moral law in addressing leaders of the Inter national Union of Young Chris tian Democrats. He told them he was glad to see them "because you are now bending your lofty thoughts and your youthful vigor to the ideal of an integrated and united Europe. It 'is worthy of you. It merits engaging your hearts and firing your enthusiasm. It rep resents the happy ending of an unhappy story: the nations of Europe must no longer have any pretext for setting themselves against one another. "To eliminate the danger and the temptation of some other conflict which could become /tragic and fatal, there is a need to create - we would like to say recreate - a single family of brother peoples. We would not say Europe would be divided among these peoples, but rather that it is composed of them." Positive Reasons Pope Paul denied that the "negative purpose" of avoiding war is the only reason Europe today seems ripe for integration and said there are "so many other positive reasons." He stated that politics are "outside the specific field of our religious competence." But he added that the Church's teaching authority extends to "every man ifestation of human activity, seen under the moral aspect."

Cttltholics 01)pOSe Birth Control Policy

ALBANY (NC) _ The New York State Catholic Welfare Com mit tee has sharply criticized a new pol-

icy statement on birth control services for relief recipients issued br the State Board of Social Welfare. Expressing dismay at the .statem~!llt, the Catholic commit tee said: "The matter of plan ning the size of families of wel fare recipients is not within the authority or competency of the State Board of Social Welfare." The welfare board's policy statement explicitly authorizes a'~d spells out procedures for re_ ferring welfare recipients for birth control information. Under the policy, family plan ning idormation is to be given only for medical reasons and only to married women living with their husbands. Local weI':' fare agencies are authorized to refer welfare recipients, at their

request, to private doctors who are to decide whether there are . g' en case · 1 re me d lca asons III a IV for the practice of family planning. Tax funds are to pay for the program. Observers said the policy statement outlines no new procedures but puts on the record practices that have been common without specific authorization.

'Dismayed by Action'

The statement says family

planning referrals are to be car

ried out "consonant with the conscience and religious convic tions' of aid recipients, welfare workers making the referrals,

and participating doctors. The Catholic Welfare Com mittee, in a statement issued by Charles J. Tobin, Jr., of Albany,

its secretary, expressed fear that "the welfare recipient,

"It IS common among Chnstlans to look upon Jews as the ones who put Our Lord to death," said Father Maly. "But this document introduced by (Augustin) Cardinal Bea at the council brings out very clearly that it is completely wrong and false to level this charge against the Jewish people. It makes it very clear that everybody in the world is guilty of the death of Christ."

Dramati%ation of Stations Has Powerful Impact in Brazil JUIZ DA FORA (NC) -

A conscience-provoking dramatic production based on the 14 Sta tions of the Cross has had a powerful impact on people of Brazil. "Cristo Total'" (The Ttotal Christ), originated by a nun here, so moved one young man, watching the scenes, that he took off his new woolen sports jacket and. gave it to his shivering neighbor. The author of the drama is Sister Benedict Idefelt, a mem ber of the Congregation of St. Catherine, who teaches in a high school. The text was first ap

proved by Bishop Geraldo Maria

de ¥orais Penido of Juiz da Fora and later by other Brazilian Bishops.

The actors, some GOO iR aU, mostly amateurs, enact in a stadium the work they do in real life. They include nurses, carnival dancers, sharecroppers, policemen, IOldiers, white collar-

istry of Youth and Family Welfare and the Richelieu Clubs of businessmen to get behind two of his projects to help juvenile delinquents. He said a home for boys was opened recently with

accommodations for 30, and a similar home is needed for girls. "I have the home and the personnel. Now I need the money to operate it," he said estimating the annual budget would be about $85,000. He said the homes would provide "human warmth" for boys and girls, "bombarded with adult problems they were not prepared to meet." Cardinal Leger said more than money is needed to solve problems of insecurity in underdeveloped nations, such in Africa which he visited last Dec e m b e r. Human contact,

workers, and laborers. Sister Benedict expiained that her intention in writing the script was to demonstrate that the Christian religion is not for Sundays only, not for church only, not something unrelated to the problems of our daily lives - but that it has a message fOl' every problem of life. Return to Church She wished to show that the outdoor and nonliturgical cere mopies, a traditional part of Holy Week in Latin America, are not

simple, pious people.

DAVENPORT (NC)-Twenty

four Knights of Columbus coun cils in the Davenport diocese will spearhead a Lenten fund drive and educational program aimed at rallying support for the Papal Volunteers for Latift America (PAVLA) program.

"warmth and love of the peo· pIes" of these nations 'is essential, .he said. ,'They are a k'Ind. loving, simple people," he said. "They have nothing, yet if the)' feel your love, they will shower you with gifts." Cardinal Leger said Canada should increase greatly its aid to underdeveloped countries. He said it is a terrible thing to realize that two-thirds of the peoples of the world do not have the food necessary to meet their hunger. "We cann~t be unconcerned about such a problem."

As Your Representative

Greek· O,.thodox.. Hear Unity Plea NEW YORK (NC)-Members of the Greek Orthodox commu nity in this city heard a moving plea for Christian unity from a Jesuit scholar. Father Paul Mailleux, S.J., di rector of the John XXIII Center for Eastern Christian Studies at Fordham University, spoke fol lowing a Vesper service in the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. Theologians of the Russion Orthodox and Prot_ estant churches also spoke at the Christian unity service. As past division have been the cause of great spiritual impov erishment, Fat her Mailleux said, "our reconciliation will be the source of great spiritual progress and enrichment." Positive Values Reconciliation will be very difficult, he said, if we look obstinately at what our brothers lack, but it will become easy "if we consider the positive values which they have ac acquired by the experiences God has allowed them to go through. Bringing together in harmony our different traditions will be a source of great prog ress for Christianity. Our diver_ sity is another sign of God's love." Father Mailleux said Chris tians of the East and West should not aim simply at asso ciation in which both sides kept silent about doctrinal differ ences, but with confidence in the Holy Spirit, should "strive together towards true unity - - that means u'nity in faith,".

She Went To. South America! On the eve of the past Feast of the Assumption Lucille· Lebeau, a graduate registered nurse from St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford, bade fare well to Bishop Connolly prior to her air flight to Brazil as a Papal Volunteer for Latin America

Why would. !l0ung lady, trained and experienced in a profession, with a re sponsible and remunerative position in an excellent American hospital forgo her friends, family and security to work among the poor and needy in a South American clinic? First of all, because she feels in respon'ding to the appeal of the Holy Father for hardy pioneers to work for souls in p laces near and far, she is serving God and man more completely with more personal dedicatio". Tru~, she can serve both at home, but now she knows she is the only registered nurse assisting Mother Dulce, a Dominican Nun, the superior of a 150 bed hospital, and clinic in Salvador, Brazil. This medical center cares for 30,000 patients a year in an area of 700,000 inhabitants. She knows she is needed in Salvador, that thou sands, not just individuals, will be dependent upon her.

She knows too, that she is the first lay person in the history of the Diocese of Fall River to go as a Papol Volunteer to serve others in a foreign land. That she, like the 75 Priests, ·Brothers and Nuns now serving God at mission posts throughout the world, represents to the world our Diocese and its charitable mission-minded people. S.he represents alt of us, you, particularly our laity, in this era of the Lay Apostolate. She hopes as we do, that other generous young men and young women win follow her. Lucille is not alone os a Volunteer in South America. Hundreds of teachers, ..octors; nurses, social workers, catechists, technicians, etc., have al ready volunteered to battle poverty, sickness and religious ignorance. Their reward, like Lucille's - room and board, ten dolla rs a week and the conviction that while serving God and mankind, they are help ing to make the world a better place to live in.

Have !l0. the he.rt .nd the skill to sert1e ethers'! Are you willing to admit others need you and that it will be worth the sacrifice! Volunteer to be a Papal Volunteer. If you can't serve, help someone to serve in your name. Be a PAPAL VOLUNTEER PROMOTER by contributing $5.00 a year to sponsor a young man or a young woman laboring in the hardship areas of Latin America for God and you.

THE A"~I''''''''-Dioce~;e of Fall River-Thurs., Feb. 13, 1964

-----------------Dreariness or Joy?

Lent. A time of weariness and a time of dreariness, a time when one is exhorted to "do without" and to "give up." It can almost be summed up in the words of the wit who bewailed the fact that everything he liked was either immoral or illegal or fattening. Or is it like that at all? There are a good many Christians who have a most un-Christian vie",: of Lent" There are too many who see it as a. negative thing, as a cloud over life. For these Lent misses its whole meaning. They see religion in terms of sin and God in terms of a stern taskmaster. ' Charles Peguy says, "It is not by the repugnance of ugliness that we must teach beauty, but by the attractive neSH of beauty itself." Lent is understandable and acceptable a:nd bearable only when seen in terms of love. Ask parents how much they love a child and they recite with joy the many things they do without in order to give to. their son or daughter. Ask a devoted husband what he thinks of his wife and he will consider no sacrifice too much to prove his love for her. As~ a friend to help his friend and he will not count the cost. . Lent is above all elsl~ a time of personal encounter between a Christian and the One Whose name he bears Chr:iflt~ It is a· time when sa,crifice is a joyous thing because a proof of one's love for Christ. It is a time when mo:rtifi ~atil()n .is practiced not as ~a morbid denial of· what is good but to set aright the disturbed relationship between one who has sinned and God.

De'IDoralizing Influence Catholic seminarians have been accused of exerting a demoralizing influence in the Polish army into which they have been drafted. Purpose of the Communist regime in taking seminar ians into the service was to win them away from their vocation. But high officials have admitted that the plan has backfired. Units which had conscripted seminarians reported heavy increases in attendance at Sunday Mass. Rather than the seminarians being influenced for the worse, they have made the army a more reIigio~s group. And the Church is actually benefitting in that once the conscripted seminarians return to their training for the priesthood they have a greater degree of maturity and, according to the deputy chief of. political education in the PoliHh Army, know "incomparably better" the spiritual needs of the men of Poland. '. Once again it is the story of the leaven in the mass, of the few influencing the many, of the effect individuals can have on individuals. The Polish army experience should give he~rt to those who feel that· the powers of darkness are on the upswing, that the good is all too often tainted by the evil. Christianity is meant to do just what has been the case in the Polish army-to. infiltrate, to influence, to change a whole environment, to l,eave men better than when it found them. Obstacles, trials, difficulties-all these are not to be wondered at but to be expected and to be facett with the serene knowledge that Christ spoke to all of His followers when He said, "'rake courage, I have overcome the world." Men look at the evil in. the world, at relaxed or non existent moral standards, at the openness of sin and are apt to be pessimistic about the primacy of the spiritual and the future of religion. A true Christian can never be a pessimist. His is the work of building up the Body of Christ-and he does it in union with Christ. Such a partner ship admits of no sadness or depression. The overwhelming m.ajority of Polish seminarians drafted into the army have "demoralized" it by converting those meant to convert them, by Christianizing those meant to de-Christianize them. Would that more Christians would exert such a "demoralizing" influence where they live and work and happen to be.

Says Community Support Key to Private College UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS (NC)-While more and more private colleges are singing the blues about their financial problems John Carroll University here in Ohio has finished in the biack for the 18th consecutive year. Father Hugh E. Dunn, S.J., president of the Jesuit institution, issued only for funds utilized in edu our youth, but also for a report on 1963 which show cating its accomplishments toward in ed a modest surplus of $2, ereasing the intellectual forces

603.80 on an operating income of $3,233,146.41. The main reason for John Carroll's success, Father Dunn said in an interview here, is that the school first tries to serve the community in which it lives -then seeks .help from that . community. But the full financial picture is even more impressiVe than the bookkeeping figures show. In the past 15 years Carroll has' put $8,064,512.42 into new· build ings, equipment, and renova tions. All now are completely paid for with the exception of a $843,000 debt on a student ac tivities center. The builing is self-liquidating and the debt represents the balance on a low cOst Federal loan. .. All other monies for buildings came from outside the univer sity-business, industry, friends, alumni and other community source;. Any money for build- . ings does not show in the oper ating income. Moderate Tuition What does come out of oper. ating income however is $145,000 worth of scholarships given to students by the university. None of that is funded or made up by special gifts. If those were in cluded the amount would rise to almost $210,000 for scholar ships. Carroll doesn't keep its head above the financial waters by charging exeessively high tui tions. . Father Dunn pointed out that Carroll's undergraduate tuition of $30 a semester credit hour is lower than that of any of the other five independent colleges and universities in the Greater Cleveland area. Carroll has one item going for it. Included in its operating income is $449,906.45 in gifts exclusive of any money contrib uted specifically for building purposes or scholarships. Community Institution The alumni contributed some $63,000 of that. The remainder almost $387,000 a year - came from the community, on top of eontributions for buildings and scholarships. Father Dunn emphasized that for a university to expect or de. serve community contributions, it must strive to be a community institution. He added: "A university must be ac eountable to its public, just as to its stockholders. In fact, an institution of higher learning must be held responsible not

of our city and state, as well as the nation."

Prelates Support Job Training LANSING (NC) - A pilot job training program for unem ployed, unedueated and unskilled pel'9On9 is expected to-get started in - April under supervision of the ·Mich,igan Catholic Confer ence, organization of the state', bishops.. The conference will train 150 persons 'who have less than an eighth grade education under a $60,000 contract from the Office of Manpower Automation and Training of the U.S. Department of Labor. "We hope to demonstrate that people who have never received a proper education can be re trained for some useful employ ment," said Bishop Allen J. Babcock of Grand Rapids, presi dent of the confere.nce. Pa,. for Itself Bishop Babcock said that many of the trainees will have been on welfare a good part of their lives. He observed that if "we can help this fellow get a job which pays twice as much as he is getting from- welfare, then the cost of training will pay for itself." "But more important than the economic benefits of the pro gram, we hope to help restore the human dignity to this, un employed person as well as give him a marketable skill,"'be em phasized. The English" Language Center of Michigan State University at East Lansing will provide a literacy training program. The Lansing Board of Education will offer vocational training instruc_ tion. Workers' will be trained for jobs such as machine operators, mechanics helpers and custo dians.

Urges Laymen Confront World As· Friends JACKSON (NC) - A na. tional Catholic lay leader said here that the Christian layman today "must confront the world not as its enemy but as its friend." The layman's aim must be "not to attack and capture the world, but to re-create it; not to de stroy its blind but instinctive groping for unity, but to lead it by the strong hand of a relevant faith and a pure Christian vision to the unity that God .had in mind for .it from the day of Creation," said Martin H.

Score MarylandPol'icy Catholic Newspaper, Civil Liberties Union Oppose University Rule on Chaplains BALTIMORE (NC) - A new University of Maryland policy on campus chaplains has come under fire from the Baltimore archdiocesan newspaper and the Maryland and Washington· D.C., chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union. An editorial in the newspaper, the Catholic Review, called the policy "ill-advised and danger ous" and urged that it be clari fied and reformulated. The two ACLU chapters said in a joint statement that the ,policy violates "free exercise of religion" and is "possibly uncon stitutional." The new policy, adopted by the state university's board of regents, requires that campus

Propo sals for a constitutional amend ment to perrpit prayer and Bible reading, in public schools are now before the House Judiciary Committee. A di!lcharge petition to move the legislation to the House now has 130 of the' necessilry 218 sign,atures, and "until action is secured, in the House Judiciary Committee, it is simply impos sible for any amendment to be proposed to the people." 2. "One letter is not enough; one sermon is not 'enough; one protest, one resolution is not enough. We have' got to make our protest heard loud, long and often." 3. "Wording of a prayer amendment is a delicate, diffi cult matter. But already 50 Con gressmenwith constitutional lawyers have come up with a draft." congressional debate and testimony of experts will "pro duce an amendment proposal which, we are eonfident, will be acceptable to us."

chaplains receive university ap proval before beginning their service. It says chaplains' terms of ser vice are at the "discretion" of the university and requires chaplains to "generally limit" their work to serving the "reli gious needs" of students of their own faith.

THE ANCHOR--Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Feb. 13, 1964

Says Absolute Separation Futile and Unrealistic' COLUMBUS (NC) - A J'esuit lawyer says it is fu tile and unrealistic to pretend that government and religion ean be kept absolutely !leparate. "The world of values and programs does not dhride up neatly into those which aid reli gion and those which do not," said Father Charles Whelan, S.J., of the Fordham UI1liversity law school. He declared: "Such simple categories are day-dreams in the midSi~ of the social, political and religious complexity of modern America. Our society is so permeated with politics and relig:ion * * * that government can't help both hurting and helping religion. If government had to avoid every thing in any way beneficial or detrimental to religion, l~overn ment-not the churches--would be crippled." Confusing DecisioJll The New York Jesuit spoke to Episcopalian delegates to the first national study conJEerence Gil Church and State sponsored by the National Council of Churches. He was one of 12 Catholic observers at the meet ing, attended by over 450 Prot estant and Orthodox delegates. Father Whelan discussed con fusinon which he said has en tered into Church-State discus .ions as a result of recent. court rulings that dramatically ex pand the legal definition of re ligion. He pointed in particular to two court decisions: A 1961 U. S. Supreme Court ruling which held that an athe ist could not be denied a nota ry's license for refusing tAl pro fess belief in God. In this case 'the high court held that the pro 'tection afforded religions under 'the First Amendment t.D the IConstitution applies to ~:roups 'which "do not teach what would l~enerally be considered a belief iln God." , No Difference A ruling last month by a, U. S. Court of Appeals which held that a man who refused to assert belief or disbelief in God is en titled to exemption from mili tary service as a conscientious , (Ibjector. The court held it un e:onstitutional to limit exemp tion to those who believe in God. Father Whelan suggested, that flhese rulings, by blurrin~t the notion of "religion," have com pUcated things for those who want public schools to 1reach "'the orthodoxy of Americanism'; but want to keep other o:rtho doxies out of the schools and deny public aid to church-relat ed, schools. "Before the Supreme C~ourt 1'l~moved God as an essential in g:redient of religion it was rnuch easier to distinguish between creeds," he said. Compound Problem "Now that goodness is bmta 1Il.0unt to godliness and devo tion can substitute for the deity, the philosophers of AmeI'ican public education'must construct a new constitutional justifica ,tion for their deliberate efJ:orts at improving the morals as well as the minds of our children," the Jesuit asserted. Father Whelan agreed that religious and non-religious

puolic schools should "do their best to inspire our youth to be good as well as educated." But, he added, under the new court definitions of "religion," it is not clear why public funds should go to public schools but not church-related ones--"why tax money may be used to bol ster our faith in America but not our faith in God."

Changing View Continued from Page One creative" solution to the paro chial schools' financial problem. And they said they are "willing to explore other legal means for solving it." The conferees rejected "over s imp 1 i fie d formulations" on Church-State matters, including that which "seeks to make reli~ gion exclusively a private matter er to make all public matters secular." Observers These stands were taken in the final statement adopted by the first national study confer ence on Church and State spon sored here by the National Coun cil of Churches. The conference brought to gether some 450 Protestant and Orthodox leaders representing 24 denominations for four d'ays of talks on Church-State rela tions. Also present were 12 Catholic and 12 Jewish observers as well as representatives of several Protestant denoninations that do not belong to the National Coun cil of Churches, the nation's largest Protestant and Orthodox federation. Not Dindin&' The conference's findings are not binding on the National Council. They will be submitted to the NCC's policy-making board for consideration. In the area of welfare the con ference concluded that in "some well defined circumstances," government may legitimately support "specific programs of church-affiliated health and wel_ fare agencies." It said govern ment may do 90 to further "a clearly identifiable public in terest." The conferees agreed that America is "a pluralistic and not simply a Protestant society." Church-State On the overall question of Church-State relations, the con ferees summed up their position this way: "While it is not the business of government to underwrite religion or to use its coercive powers to sanction or compel ac ceptance of any religious-creed or practice, neither should it sanction or promote secular creeds or ideologies. "Government exceeds its pro per authority if it shows hosti lity or even indifference to reli gion. It may appropriately rec ognize in its public practice and in its publicly supported educa tional programs the role. of reli gion in American history and life. "While it is not the business of government to promote Ol" support religion, it is the govern_ ment's role and duty to further religious liberty."

TO WEST POINT: Peter Lopes, senior at Bishop Stang High School, has receiyed an appointment to West Point. He will compete in examina tions next month and if suc cessful will enter the military academy in July. An honor student and football team co. captain, he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lopes, New Bedford.

Failure to Teach Social Doctrine Now Shows Up NEW ORLEANS (NC) The failure of Catholic edu cation in the past to- teach the social doctrine of the Church has made Catholicism irrelevant in society according to.Father Louis J. Twomey, S.J. _ The director of Loyola Uni- versity's Institute of Industrial Relations challenged delegates from seven states at an insti tute in theology for the laity to overcome "the deficiencies with which you come out of your Catholic schools." He declared the ignorance of the Church's social doctrine "is completely baffling and a re flection of the whole concept of what we mean by the Faith." Catholics, he asserted, see no contradiction between member ship in the John Birch Society and the Catholic Church, be tween membership in the White Citizens' Council and the Cath olic Church. The Jesuit priest said he is not judging those who have neglected the teaching of social doctrine. They too, he noted, are ignorant of it. He pointed out that the failure to promulgate the Church's sa cial doctrine can be seen in Latin America and in the racial situa... tion in the United States. "In Latin America," he em phasized, "the great failure wu that the Church was allowed to become identified with the upper class the intellectuals • * • the well-scrubbed rich." But Latin America, he observed, "if no worse and no better than our treatment of the Negroes in our country."

Holy Father Urges Literacy Campaign VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has called on all Chris tians to stamp out illiterarey throughout the world. Speaking to directors of' the Italian Association of Educators, the Pope said. ''To the surprise of quite • few people, it hu come to be known through recent survey. carried 'out throughout the world that illiterarcy, usuall,. considered to be diminishing, i. actually a graver problem with the growth of culture.

Tells Te~,",-ager~ Vocption Means' Best Way to God

· h" '-ne Quality' "Super-Rlg t I . rime' . Meats ••• Best Bet Every

By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. All teen-agedom is divided into two parts-those who wonder what they're going. to do with their lives, and those few who are only concerned with what life is going to do to them. This article is addressed to the former group, since there is nothing anybody can Your vocation is not an emo do about the latter except re tion or a feeling any more than solve not to support them your faith is. It is a conviction, with handouts later on. In after thought and prayer, that

considering your vocation, it's just as important for you to know how to go about the deci sion as it is to know what ele ments to con sider. If, for in s tan c e, you t h ink asking "W hat do I want most to do?" has much to do with your vocation, you'd better rev i s e your way of thinking because you're going the wrong way right from the beginning. Only One Purpose Secondly, you'd better know what the word "vocation" means. This word is not a synonym just for the religious life, nor is it necessarily the life you'd like best. No, your vocation is simply and solely the best way for you t~et to God, to save your soul, and it's the way God leads you to, but never forces you to, by His Providence. Your life, you see, has (]only one purpose, to .get to God. Miss that purpose and you can only be an utter, complete, 100. per cent frustrated flop, body and soul. And your vocation is simply the best way for you to achi,eve that purpose. How utterly stupid it would be, then, to choose a vocation from any other viE~w point. Personal Responsibility Notice that your vocation is called "the best way." This would seem to suggest that there are many ways you could achieve your purpose - married, single, ditch - digger, air - line hostess, tycoon, actress, scientist. But there is only one best way. That· was is your vocation. Moreover, it's your vocation, and so it's "the best war :Eor you." Saving your· soul is an individual personal responsibili ty which no one (not even God for that matter) can do for you. Since your vocation is the best way for you to save your soul, obviously your parents, friends and relatives (no matter how subtly they assert why it is that only they know what's best for you) can't choose your voca tion for you either. Listen to their advice, sure, but when it comes to a decision, this has to be yours alone. What God Wants Only you and God matter in this decision, with God taking first place when it comes to your likes and dislikes. Your voca tion is primaI:ily what God wants for you, since He knows better than. you the best way for you to save your soul and to achieve never-ending happiness with Him. And this mayor malY not coincide perfectly with what you'd like best. Thought, Prayer The work involved in di!,-. covering your vocation is a<: tually a pretty cold, unemotional proposition. Since God doesn't yell his wishes at anybody, He expects you to work it out, 10 do all the thinking and praying you can about it. Use your head, then, as if the whole thing de, pended on you, and ~rav as if lit all depended on God.

BONELESS

CHUCK r;G;bV'i;gs LB49

this really is the best way for you to save your soul, and that this is what God wants for you. Sometimes, in the cours~ of your thought and prayer on the subject, you may feel good about it. At other times, you may throw out the conviction that a particu lar vocation is for you, only to have it bounce back like a yo-yo. God sometimes nags you about your real vocation until you either accept it out of sheer fatigue (which is good), or else expel it from your mind forever because you don't want it as much as you want something else (which is tragic).

Positive Choice When deciding on your voca tion; you have to be careful to make a positive choice rather than backing into one vocation while recoiling from another in horror. It would be stupid, for in stance, to say "I don't want to be a priest or religious, and there fore I'll get married." It would be just as silly to say "I don't want to marry, so I'll be a priest or religious." Certainly no religious order or seminary would accept this latter type, because if this is said honestly, this character would make a pretty crurr1fiiy priest or religious, unable to un derstand the normal, garden 'variety of human being. (Similarly, the boys who says, "I like girls, so I have no reli gious vocation," is kidding him self. As though anybody would make much of a priest or reli gious if he didn't like half the human race!) No, you describe your voca tion more this way: "This is the best way for me to save my soul, and the way God seems to want me to do so." Large States of Life Likes and dislikes do have something to' do with your de cision, but not nearly as much as most people imagine. When you figure out your vocation, you begin with the large states of life - marriage, the single state outside of the religious iife, the priestly or religious life. Then, when Y0I;I've determined which of these states is the best one for you, you have to pick a vocation within that large area. If you pick marriage, for in stance, you girls still have to pick out the other essential for that life, all the time letting him continue blissfully to ima gine that he's doing the choosing. All Involve Sacrifice If you pick the religious state, you still have to decide what kind of work you want to do in that state - teaching, foreign missions, or parish work, for in stance. But 'notice that, no matter what state of life you decide on, some sacrifice is going to be in volved. If you choose· to be a doctor, you are going to have to give up being a lawyer, a reli 'gious, and a lot of other thing9. If you choose the religious life, you're going to have to give up marriage. But don't labor under the illusion that the religious life is the only one requiring sacrifices - they all do, and ~ some surprising degrees.

the p0ge s~ould become Chris tianity's spokesman after consul tation with a world organization made up of representatives of various Christian churches. Representatives of non-Chris tian religions, men of good will in other fields of endeavor and perhaps even sincere atheists might be included in such a council, said Auxiliary Bishop Walter Kampe of Limburg at a public meeting sponsored by the Bavarian Catholic Academy. The Bishop, who directs the press panel of the German Hier archy during sessions in Rome of the Second Vatican Council, frequently takes a stand on mat ters of public interest. He said that no individual churches but a world body rep resenting all shades of Christian opinion should express its views, and this should be done jointly through the pope. ' With the realization that the Church is the conscience of man kind, "a front of men of good will" could be established, Bish op Kampe said. At the same meeting, Julius Cardinal Doepfner of Munich and Freising said he is hopeful that a text of the "Our Father" acceptable to both Catholics and Protestants will soon be adopted.

THE ANCHOR-Dio<:ese of Fall River-Thurs., Feb. 13, 1964

UNITED NATIONS (NC) General agreement about what a United Nations declaration can do to stop religious intoler ance has been expressed here by leading Catholic and Prot estant organizations. Statements listing suggested points for such a declaration were submitted to the U.N. by Pax Romana, an international Catholic intellectual unit and the World Council of Chu~ches, which is largely Protestant. Both documents, put before the U.N. Subcommission on Pre vention of Discrimination, un derline the need to consider re ligion as a full participant in human affairs, not to be shut up behind church doors. They also emphasize that reli_ gious freedom is interlocked with all freedoms.

tResearch Bn~is For Recent Books on Bible

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Last week we considered some books which use a non scholarly, non-technical approach to the Scriptures, and seek to draw meaning and moral instruction from the lives of principal figures in the Old and New Testaments. This week we take note of some nical history, simply as histor other books which, deal:ing ical documents. Given their ori with the Bible, do so in quite gin and their nature, as now a different way. They are shown by scriptural scholarship,

the work of scholars, Ameriean and European, and make use of the latest in scriptural research. Short est but most striking of the lot is Father A v e r y Dulles' Apologetics and the Bib Ii c a I Christ (New man. $1.50). It ... is the author's contention, in brief, that con ventional apologetic must give way to a new method. Conventional apologetic relied on supposedly scientific histor ical method to establish the rational basis of the Christian faith. Its demonstration com prised two steps. The first un dertook to prove that the Gos pels are historical documents in the strictly scientific sense, since written by eyewitnesses or men drawing directly on eytl witnesses who s e information and veracity could not be im pugned. . The second went on to main- . lain that these scientifically his torical documents present in. controvertible evidence that .Jesus claimed to be the Messiah and the Son of God, and mad,e good his claim by His proph· ecies, miracles, and rising from the dead. Reassuring Note This is the apologetic which the reviewer, for one, learned in the seminary. Moreover, thtl reviewer, like many another, as·· sumed that this was the one and! only apologetic method and had. been in use for centuries, per·· haps from the post-Apologetic: age. It comes as a shock, then, too see it challenged and to have its abandonment advocated. Isn't this almost equivalent to the overthrow of our religion itself? Isn't its very basis in reason thus destroyed? The first reassuring note lOunded by Father Dulles is in his making it clear that this sort of apologetic is not really very old at all, much less is it imme morial. He indicates that in dif ferent ages different apologetie procedures have been followed, the latter being adapted to the mentality of the former. Dfferent Approach As for the method which we have regarded as traditional, it has been in use for about a cen tury only. It came into existence in response to the prevailing as sumption that scientific history is the' only legitimate tool for dealing with the human past. The "historicist apologetic" was thereupon devised and has been in vogue ever since. Yet the day of supposedly scientific history is now over. And the apologetic stemming from it is held by Catholic schol ars to be deficient because it misunderstands the limitations of history and misconstrues the nature of the biblical sources. History alone cannot impose crystalline conclusiol'\1l as to the doctrine and life of Christ, nor can it establish any definitive religious interpretation. Confessional Documents The Gospels are not to be con sidered simply in terms of tech

they must be regarded "as reli gious testimonies addressed to us by the primitive Church." They are· confessional docu ments, which give us a portrait of Jesus as understood by the believing Church, not" 'accord ing to the flesh' but as seen in the light of the Spirit." Goes to Roots This portrait is simple and clear: "the whole biblical testi mony converges to give us a single vision of Christ." It is pre sented with absolute conviction. It is utterly' novel, could never have been fabricated, and can be accounted for only by a divine revelation. It made n~w men of those who accepted it. It' is powerful in uplifting man and delivering him from evil. The case here presented is very closely argued, and cogent ly too. The reader may feel, as he follows the first part of it, that all apologetic is being dis mantled and discarded. But as the second part unfolds, he will probably conclude that an outmoded method is being replaced by something sound er, something which is not an expedient construct but goes to the very roots of the subject. In addition to being clear and pen etrating in thought, Father Dulles ~9 a lucid and forceful writer. Myths; Realities Something of the same thesis is to be found in one chapter of a book. by Father Dulles' fellow Jesuit, Father John L. McKenzie: namely, Myths and Realities: Studies in Biblical Theology (Bruce. $4.75). The chapter referred to is "Pastoral Apologetics and Mod ern Exegesis." Father McKenzie rightly says that in the apolgetic offered the inquirer by the av erage parish priest the argu ment proceeds along the line of "the genuinity and historical character of the Gospels, the messianic claims of Jesus Christ, and the Miracles of Jesus a evi dence of His claims." And equally rightly he ob serves, "if these key positions are shaken, the priest feels not only that his practical use of apologetics is rendered nuga tory, but also that his own belief is being undermined." Church Is Author The author then proceeds along much the same line as Father Dulles. For example, he contends that the Church is "in a true and proper sense the au thor of the Gospel," that in Apostolic times "the security of faith did not repose upon indi vidual persons, however unim peachable their information and veracity, .but upon the entire apostolic witness, the group which had no principle of unity. besides Jesus Himself." In pastoral apologetics, Father McKenzie advocates taking the Gospels as they are: namely, " the witness of the primitive Church in 'Him in Whom the Church believed." Using the Gospels as such, we can make "Jesus Christ so real and so living to those whom we instruct that it is difficult to resist Him." But he warns that we can do no such things unless we know the Gospels thoroughly, indeed are saturated in them.

The Pax Romana statement said there must be recognition that "religious belief has a pro found effect upon the totality of life and conduct of the be liever. It goes far beyond the area of worship and ritual and includes among other things, a moral code, a desire to serve one's fellow man, and a need to view social, economic and polit ical questions in terms of the moral and religious convictions of the believer." The Protestant statement, pre pared by the World Council's commission on international af fairs, made this same point by emphasizing that religion's vi tality must be expressed in "the / stream of living and • • • impact. on social life."

Tax .C~edit for College Cost Wins Association Support

Johnson Revea Is Prayers 'Help Me' To Bear Burdens

WASHINGTON (Ne) - The Association of American Colleges has supported a proposal to pennit those paying for a college education to subtract a portion of the expenses from their Federal income tax. The association's action gives a boost to a budding principle of an income tax eampaign to present the pro eredit." posal as a Senate amendment The committee hal' urged that to the Johnson administra the association defer endorsing tion's $11 billion tax cut bill. The Treasury Department op poses the proposal as too costly. It has estimated that the amend ment would cost $750 million in lost revenue the first year and $1.3 billion by the third year. Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Con ecticut, p r inc i pal Senate spokesman for the proposal, ar gues that taxpayers are as en titled to relief from high college costs as from medical expenses. Ribicoff's own bill, cospon sored by 14 other senators, would permit tax credits up to $325 annually for a percentage of college costs. As income rose, credit benefits und'er his bill would decrease. The association's stand was taken after lengthy debate at its 50th annual meeting here. The association's membership is made up of 837 liberal arts. colleges, most of them private institutions and many church-related. The delegates overruled a rec_ ommendation of their committee on legislation in voting over whelmingly to support "the

the proposal. It said that be cause the benefits would go di rectly to parents and others pay_ ing the bills, it is hard to see how colleges would benefit un less tuition charges were in creased. The association is the first major educational organization to support the legislation. Both the Association of Land Grant Colleges and State Universities and the American Association of University Professors have 0p posed it.

The WUCWO representative, Alba Zizzamia, urged the com mitteeto use the experience and resources of non-technical NGOs (nongoverment organizations) active in housing programs, such as family movements, young workers' groups, cooperative and credit union associations, and social service and women's organizations. Because of "the conditioning influence housing exerts on the life of the individual and on the family and community life as well," WUCWO backed the com mittee's recommendation that the social aspects of housing be studied.
