Subscription Returns Are Encouraging
"Weare in for our quota" was the message received twice this morning at the Circulation Depart ment of The Anchor. The calls came from Rev. Fran cis J. McCarthy, pastor of St. Pat rick's Church in Somerset and from Rev. George E. Sullivan, pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Fall River. "And you can expect 8ubscrip
tiona in excess of our quotas," said the two pastors who were first to report the results of their parish subscriptions campaigns for 1965. They evidenced a desire to achieve complete family coverage so that each and every home will be abreast of the many liturgical changes being made in church renewal. There is every reason to believe that The Anchor will gain the most
quota parishes in its nine-year his tory this year. This total has been going up-and-up for the past eight years. The parishes are few and far between who do not reach their quota. Evidence that The Anchor is ap preciated more and more is the fact that few copies of each editions are available after they are placed on sale in the rear of churches. There
was a time when the size of the bundle remained constant. That day has long since passed.. The effectiveness of The Anchor has been related innumerable times by missioners laboring in far away fields who have reported philan thropies and other. gratuities as a result of our paper. We are proud of the record we are establishing.

whole Church is in a state of mission, he said that "from some of the writ~ng surrounding these slogans one gets the impression that one is just -as. involved in the missions on 5th Avenue and the Rue de la Paix as one is on the Bund in Shanghai and the Ginza in Tokyo." But, he warned, the western ChurCh would stagnate if it con cerned itself only with its local. health and growth and failed to carry Christianity to other parts of the world. "A Church can grow apostolic cataracts which dim its vision of the wOTld and restrict it to things near at hand," Father Murphy said, "I desperately hope that all the ecumenical clamor does not develop apostolic catar acts in the vision of the Ameri can Church. I hope, too, that the present preoccupation with Latin America does not develop into the same thing."

By Marion Unsworth Over a year ago, various active Catholic laymen in the Taunton area received word that Rev. James F. Lyons of Immaculate Conception parish woul9 like to speak with them. His subject was the possible formation of a Taunton chapter of Serra International. As weeks and months passed, the group grew. Dedicated Serrans from New Bedford came to bi-monthly meetings to speak to the men, explain ing Serra's aim, that of fos tering religious vocations, and the means by which S~rra Clubs are formed and continue to operate. Religious from Stone hill College, Providence College and Boston College also came to speak of tbeir respective orders and works. Other. members of the clergy and laity told the Tauntonians of their efforts in the encourage ment of religious vocations. Bishop James L. Connolly as sured the group of his complete support. The culmination of all this preparation occurred last Thurs day evening, when the Taunton Serra Club held its Charter Night at Merrimacs Restaurant in South Easton. As newly elected president Joseph V. Ryan told the gathering, the event "marked an end and lit beginning; an end to our investigation and a beginning of our real work." Throughout the evening, the seriousness and importance of Serran work was stressed. Dr. William S. Downey, Jr., District Governor of Serra International, who presented its charter to the Taunton club, said, "Serra is made of men who have evi denced faith and dedication to His work," and he added the reminder that this first year is very important. It must be an exhilarating one or the years following it will not be." Means of Grace Bishop Connolly, reminding the men that from the earliest days the Church has relied on the laity, added that Serran work "can be richly rewarding. After all, if God uses water, bread and oil as vehicles for His work, why can't He use the life or influence of a man as a means to bring grace?" Mr. George Smith, past pres ident of Serra International and guest speaker for the Charter Night, stressed the character of the membership. "There is a place in ma.ny organizations for the ordinary man. We look for the extraordinary one. It is not easy to be a Serran, for it is not just one more Catholic organiza tion, it is the Catholic organ ization. It is a true calling, a vocation which distinguishes you among men." During the Charter dinner, which was attended by members of the clergy in the Taunton area and by guests of the charter members, the Club was pre sented a statue of Father Junip ero Serra, for whom Serra In ternational is named, and the Serran bell. Serra International was founded in 1934 by four men in Seattle, Washington. Today there are approximately 10,000 Serrans all over the world. Illustrating the tremen dous recent growth of Serra, Dr. Downey mentioned that five years ago, the New Bedford club, which was the sponsoring club for Taunton, was organized and given charter number 185, and

Can Adopt Priest For $5 Monthly
Novel on French Priests In Worker Apostolate By Msgr. George G. Higgins Not the least important of the many prime benefits of a trip to Rome-where this column is being 'written between long-drawn-out commission meetings on the Vati can Council's famous Schema 13-is that one, has ready access to a wealth of per his novel says, by way of put iodical literature, in French ting the so-called "new priests" and Italian, which normally in their place.) It's little wonder, then, that many of his critics would not come to his a tten tion in the United states. A ran dom sampling of this literature purchased last week in a fasci nating tour of the city's many bookstores and its extraordi n a r i I Y well stocked news paper kiosks the like of which are no where to be found in Amer ica reveals among other things that division of opinion in France and Italy on the role of the Church in the modern world is much deeper and gives rise to much sharper controversy than in the U. S. The New Priests At the moment, for example, France is in the throes of a rather bitter controversy over a sensational novel by Michel de St. Pierre entitled "Les Nou veaux Petres" (The New Priests), which charges, in ef fect, that many if not most of the younger priests engaged in the workers' apostolate in the so-called "Red" industrial sub urbs of Paris are, consciously or unconsciously, guilty of collabo rating with communists. De St. Pierre, a devout Cath olic, has been publicly censured by at least two French arch bishops and by a number of lit erary critics for his sweeping at tack on the so-called "new priests." All of his critics contend that he is woefully misinformed about the work of these self-sacrificing priests, and a few even go so far as to suggest that he is com pletely out of sympathy with everything that the council is currently trying to do to bring about an aggiornamento in the pastoral life of the Church. In reply to these charges, de St. Pierre has addressed an open letter to a number of Catholic periodicals in France. This let ter, together with a sampling of critical reviews of his book, is published in ~ recent issue of the Dominican magazine, Signes du Temps. As an outsider who is not familiar with all the ins and outs of the controversy over the new priests, I must say that de St. Pierre seems to do rather a poor job of defending his posi tion. After repeating the basic charge of his novel - namely, that the so-called "new priests" are guilty of playing the com munist game-he goes on to say in effect that priests should con fine themselves exclusively to preaching the gospel of love, and should never under any circum stances get involved in temporal matters. So That Means • • • What this seems to mean, when read in the context of his novel, is that priests should never, for example, get involved in the labor problem. ("One finds noth ing about trade unionism in the Gospel," one of the characters in

have accused de St. Pierre of trying to perpetuate the tragic ally short-sighted view that priests should stay in the sac risty, so to speak. The paradoxical parallel be tween this myopic view of the priest's pastoral role and the role assigned to priests in communist dominated countries is pointed out in Signes du Temps by M. de Chalandar, who himself is the author of a book on the priest hood. . The type of a priest held up as a model by de St. Pierre, says de Chalandar, is one who hears con fessions, prays throughout the night and does strictly spiritual work. This is exactly the sort of priest, he points out, that com munist governments dream of. "But every effort of the Church to tackle the real prob lems of men, to educate them ..• and to help adults carry out their temporal responsibilities as Christians conscious of the de mands of God-and every such effort on the part of laymen as well as priests to be present (as Christians) in the world is," he concludes, "curiously dreaded both by the Marxism of countries coming to grips with a large number of priests 2nd also by the author of 'The New Priests'." Widespread Effect Controversy in France over de St. Pierre's slashing attack on the so-called new priests has al ready spilled over into certain right-wing magazines in Italy, notably II Borghese, which reg ularly spices its frantic anti communism with generous doses of sexy photographs and car toons. But the real significance of the controversy lies in the fact that, in varying degrees, de St. Pierre's brand of pure spiritual ity is to be found among certain Catholics in almost every other country in the world. Presum ably it will be one of the pur poses of the Vatican Council's Schema 13 (The Church in the Modern World» to show that this kind of truncated spiritual ity is really a distortion of the Gospel and one which in recent centuries has seriously hampered the apostolate of the Church in the temporal order.

Urges Weighing ·Issue on Merits HARRISBURG (N C) A Catholic attorney said here in Pennsylvania that the question of school bus rides for nonpublic school pupils should be settled on its merits alone and not on the basis of extraneous issues. This stand was taken by Wil liam B. Ball, general counsel for the Pennsylvania Catholic Wel fare Committee, in a television interview with newsmen. Legis lation to provide taxpaid bus rides for nonpublic school stu dents is pending in the legisla tures of Pennsylvania and sev eral other states including Ohio and Indiana. "The question of school buses must be faced upon its merits," said Ball, a constitutional lawyer. "Is it a measure for the health, welfare and safety of children? Is it reasonable in cost? Is it con stitutional? Will it create harm to the structure of our public schools?"

He ex plains: "We get numerous voca tions, but here in Ecuador, one of the poorest South American countries, we have no funds at our disposition to give many of these boys an opportunity to become priests. We have 400 boys in our seminaries now and we could receive as many more if we had the necessary funds.

Schema 13 Work Moving Along On Schedule
Diocesan Newman Clubs Wi,ll Join Groups Across Nation in Marking Newman Week
VATICAN CITY (NC) Two weeks of study meet ings on the redrafting of the famous Schema 13 on the
Beginning Sunday, Newman Clubs at colleges throughout the Fall River Diocese will celebrate Cardinal Newman Week. The "Newman Apostolate," officially thus designated in 1962, and defined in broader terms as the work of the Catholic Church in the secular academic community, celebrates its golden jubilee this year, and Catholic students will take the opportunity to hon dents to form a "Newman Club" or Newman and recall 50 campus community." These centers have mo're than established the pilot organization years of apostolic progress doubled in the past decade; so at the University of Pennsylva in what has been termed the have priests assigned as full nia in 1893. The patronal name
Church in the Modern World have been completed and it is re- , ported work on tlie document ''is , on schedule." The lay apostolate commission met at Ariccia, a small town lIOuth of Rome near Lake Albano, during the first week of Febru ary to hammer out details of the document. The following week the mixed commission of Bishops from the lay apostolate and theo logical commission met in the Vatican to continue the redraft ing of the document which seeks to chart the course of the Church in the modern world. Americans Active The document is still not com pletely finished. It is hoped that at the next meeting in early April the commission will be able to get the schema into a sufficiently finished state so it ean be submitted to the central eoordinating commission. During the mixed commission meetings, work on the document was broken down in six subcom missions: Theological, headed by Archbishop Gabriele Garrone of 'l'oulouse; General Conspectus of the Problem, headed by Bishop Marco McGratl1 of Santiago De Veraguas, Panama; Human Per son in Society, headed by Bishop J"ohn J. Wright of Pittsburgh; Marriage, headed by Archbishop J"ohn F. Dearden of Detroit; Eco nomic and Social Problems, headed by Bishop Stefan Laszlo of Eisenstadt; Peace and War, headed by Bishop Joseph Schrof fer of Eichstatt, and Modem eulture, headed by Bishop Emilio Guano of Livorno. Among the Bishops on the mixed commission are represen tatives of the hierarchies of J"apan, England, France, Africa. Poland, Panama, Chile, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland and the United States. Approximately 60 eDWlci! experts help iA the work.
Church's most heavily popu lated educational field!' In 1915 when the first Federa tion of College Catholic Students was organized in the New York area, there were not more than 15,000 Catholic students in sec ular schools of higher learning in the U. S. Today, aconserva tive estimate fixes that figure at over 800,000, double the number of Catholic students attending religious-oriented colleges and universities. Rapid Growth In its short history the New man organization has multiplied six times, now including distinct units of students, chaplains, fac ulty members, alumni an honor society and a foundation. These are united under a single office of the National Newman Apos tolate in the National Catholic Welfare Conference in Washing ton, D. C. The theme of this year's Car dinal Newman Week is "Chris tianity in Transition." Reflecting recent developments in the Church itself, the Newman Apos tolate has broadened from its original "club" basis into a major' apostolic effort of the Church in the United States. Its primary purpose: to provide adequate pastoral care, education and ap ostolic formation for Catholic stUdents, faculty and staff mem bers in the secular academic community. Adjacent to more and more campuses is a "Newman Center," with extensive facilities and a competent staff, both clerical and lay, to develop programs of cul tural transmission-described by one chaplain as "a total apostol ate of the Chucch to the entire

time chaplains. Of the 1,000 priests assigned to this work 250 are now serving on a full-time basis. Eighteen members of Ex tension Lay Volunteers ace sta tioned at Newman centers this year and twelve Sisters are now assigned to this work. Newman's Dream John Henry Newman, patron of the Church's work in the /leC ular academic community in the U. S. was closely associated with Oxford University during the 19th century. A controversial convert and noted scholar, New man planned unsuccessfully to found a Catholic student center at Oxford. Three years after his death (in 1890) his dream was re alized, not in his native England but here in the United States. The first group of Catholic stu-
has remained attached to simi lar groups and organizations over the years. Sunday, Feb. 21, is "Cardinal Newman Day," and during the following week Newman organ izations on more than 900 secu lar campuses will offer special programs in honor of their pa tron. Observances will culmi nate Saturday, Feb. 27, desig nated as "Pax Romana Day." Pax Romana is the international organization of Catholic students, representing similar groups and fed era t ion s throughout the world.
Pope Hails Canadian Aid to So. America OTTAWA (NC)-The grati tUde of Pope Paul VI to Canadi an Catholics for aid to the Church in La'tin America has been expressed by Archbishop Antonio Samore, vice-president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. "When you bring help to the Church of Latin America, you are of service to the entire Church of Christ," the Pope said, describing Canada's "great and effective VQluntary coopera ti(m" as a "shining example for all t'he people of God."

Convocation for Peace A truly remarkable series of meetings is presently going on in New York City. Attending and participating in the sessions are over a thousand distinguished men and women of many lands on both sides of the Iron Cur tain, of many raCes and creeds, of many political persua sions. They are using as the basis and guide of their dis eussions the encyclical of Pope John, Peace on Earth. This papal document, unprecedented in history and framed as an "open letter to the whole world," is a dia logue with all men of good will, and men of good will this week are sitting down together and. striving to see how its principles can guide them to a greater measure of peace among men. Pope John, in that great encyclical, tried to point out that however complex men and their affairs may be, there are common denominators that can serve as starting points of discussion and even of agreement. It is these common denominators that men must seek out and discover in themselves and in others. It is these common denomina tors that are being seized upon and investigated in this International Convocation now going on. If men of many religions have been so impressed by tbe encyclical as to make it the focal point of a study on such a high level, Catholics should recall the salient fea tures of Pope John's work. The late Holy Father made a four-point appeal: an appeal for respect of the individ ual; an appeal for collaboration among nations; an appeal for the creation of a supranational power; )lnd an apppeal for collaboration among men, despite their ideological differences. ' The encyclical issued a year and a half ago, called upon qualified and wise statesmen to determine the stages, the means and the extent of reconciliation among peoples. The Convocation this week is presenting to the states men of this nation and of the world the thought and reasoning and suggestions of many wise/ and learned men and women from all over the world. God grant that their deliberations and the results of their meeting to gether will be a force for peace in the world.
Forces at Work The Holy Father has just pointed out how radio and television have the power to influence the minds and the consciences of men. Their formative Powers can never be over-estimated, especially when many men have more leisure than ever before and are becoming accustomed to throwing open their minds to whatever the communica tions media present, with receptivity being at a maximum and critical powers at a minimum. . The Pope does not expepct, of course, that radio and television will become adjuncts of the pulpit. He knows that there is a place for }i~ht entertainment~ Recreation is, after all, a valid pursuit of the human being, a means for re-creating his spirit and refreshing his mind. But these media are expected to be wholesome in all that they present. And there have been recent doubts expressed by many a critic over what is being presented to the great audience of television viewers. Just as many critics have detected, in all too many plays presented in the legitimate theater, unwholesome overtones of perversion, so, in some television presenta tions, there is this same unwholesome note. Or else the bizarre, the immoral, is presented not in the light of evil but with the ever so subtle implication that it is more or less natural, more or less to be expected, the "common" thing. . This attack on the consciences of men is not an ob vious frontal thing but is done by indirection, by insinu ation. And it is all the more dangerous because 'of that. As a result men must be aware· of the forces working on them.

By REV. ROBERT W. HOVDA, Catholic University TODAY-Mass as on Sunday. How much this tells us, too, about the Church as a whole, and about the reform which the Church is presently and gingerly taking upon itself! This pattern of dying and ris ing, of constant decision, is pat tern for community as well as for the individual. Is the "body" of habits and customs and· his torical accidents to rule us? Or will we listen to the fresh and Jiving Word of God: "No, I beat my body and make it my slave"? TOMORROW - Mass as on Sunday. Lest someone think that this constant chore of free deci sion somehow makes man re sponsible for his salvation, the Gospel, even with its emphasis on human labor, reminds us that the "pay" is still gratuitous, is related to God's indiscriminate love and not to what we can de mand it is only that our an swering love, in terms of human moments and human decisions, our response is necessary in His Providence. MASS OF ST. MARY ON SATURDAY. "Happy are they who hear the word of God and ,keep it" (Gospel). So Jesus turns a salute to static being, a perma nent state, to the flux and change of existence and daily decision. Our relationship to Him is a living dialog and no mere oncc-for-all acceptance. It is not so much a "state" as it is a journey and a pilgrimage. SEXAGESIMA SUN DAY. Even in these days of liturgical reform, we still hear people dis tinguishing between "personal prayer" and "common (or congregational, or liturgical) prayer." As if there could be any ·Christian prayer that is not per sonal prayer. It is perfectly legitimate and proper to speak of private prayer as distinct from common prayer and public wor ship. But both are personal. And it would be the greatest irony if a liturgical reform ded icated to personal involvement in the sacramental life of the Church should produce some kind of anti-personal cult. To day, as we continue to prepare for the season of personal re commitment, the Lent which prepares us for the celebration ef Jesus'· saving death and resur J'tl(luon both readings in the
Mass emphasize personal re: Sponse. The first passage, unusual in the New- Testament, is an inti mate illustration of the operation of the paschal mystery in the life of a Christian. Christ's death resurrection must be ours also, and not only sacramentally. It must be the fabric of our daily existence and Paul today is the case history. The Gospel is no less concerned with the personal element in redemption, but the parable expresses this concern in a general and universal way. MONDAY-The Chair of the Apostle Peter. The testimony of Peter (First Reading) radiates confidence, the confidence we should experience anew in every Eucharistic celebration. "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He, in his great mercy, gave us a new birth: '" '" '" a birth into a salvation that stands ready to be revealed in the last time." In Jesus, we know where we are going. In Jesus, we already have a vision of the terminus of the whole historical process, of creation. The ''how'' of it we have to struggle with like every body else. But what confidence! TUESDAY--St. Peter Damian, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the Church. We gather round the holy book and the holy table- our two great teachers in Christ -to honor an "assistant teach er," a Christian and a bishop, who served to interpret bible and altar in the context of one age and generation. And since all of us Christians are called to be teachers in one way or another, witnesses to the same Word and deed of God, it is healthy for us to reflect on our essentially subordinate role in this process. WEDNESDAY - St. Matthias, Apostle. "For this yoke of mine lies easy; this burden of mine is light" (Gospel). This is not only a happy pre-Lenten thought but a psychological truism. The kind of tota~ commitment Christ asks is in fact the greatest relief for humans already over_ bdrdened by disparate appeals to their sense of duty. In Him it is possible to find that unity of being, that sense of being "Whole," which man 50 badly needs.

Face Attorneys For Dioceses WASmNGTON tNC) Attorneys representing dio.. eeses across the countl7 were told here that expan sion of federal involvement • eivil rights, education and anti poverty programs will brin, them new challenges. ' William R. Consedine, diree tor of the Legal Department of the National Cathonc Welfaq Conference, said growing fed eral action in educational and social welfare fields promises "a . vastly increased confrontation cd government with private welfare organizations, both religious and non-denominational." "Given the pluralistic society in which we live," Consedine told the nearly 150 attorneys, "it is inevitable that Church-State tensions will exist." Spirit of Charity "'In the ecu.-nenical age," be continued; "it is our responsibU.. ity to treat these tensions as op portunities to explain the posi tion of our Church and to vindi cate the freedom she needs te carry out her ecumenical mis sion. "We must also be careful, fol lowing the example of Pope John XXIII, to pursue our goals in a spirit of manifest charity and goodwill, so that all are convinced we seek the good of all, and not simply our own self interest." The attorneys discussed new federal laws and proposed legis lation, considered typical state level issues and looked into the structure and operation of state welfare conferences. The NCWC Legal Department sponsored the gathering.
Convocation Continued from Page One at the meeting are U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Pakistan, the Soviet Union, and a number of African, Latin American and Soviet bloc courr tries. Participants in the .Convoca tion will be men and women of many nations, all of whom a~ universally recognized for their activities in all branches of learning touching upon the corr dition of human beings. The papal encyclical is the frame work and starting point of dis cussions, and a message frOM Pope Paul was delivered at tbis morning's session. The main address last night was delivered by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Also speaking were UN General As sembly President Alex Quaisorr Sackey and UN Secretary V Thant. Auxiliary Bishop John ~ Dougherty of Newark, N,J. 390 sistant for United Nations af fairs to the chairman of the ad ministrative board. of the Nat-; ional Catholic Welfare Confe... ence, called the conference "a giant stride toward the goal of peace on earth." Bishop Douglterty noted that Pope John had addressed Pacem in Terris to "all men of good win." "The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions pr~ claims its good win in sponso... ing an international convocation on the great encyclical," he sai~ "It was the hope of Pope John," he added, "that the en cyclical would have practical political effects. How splendidI,' his hope will be realized when, guided by the beacon of hi. teachings, world leaders win search out requirements of peace. The convocation marks • giant stride toward the goal fJi J)eace on earth."

During their eonference, he, wrote. "the matter came up of the Pope's moral intervention during the week of the Cuban missile crisis. Mr. Khrushchev·· said at that time that the Pope's appeal for restraint had had con siderable weight in his thinking. In fact, he said, it was the first

Schools Teach Role of Religion ATLANTIC CITY (NC)--: Public. schools can teach about the role of religion in history, but they probably win never be able to deal ade quately with its place in the life of their students. This is the viewpoint of Father Robert F. Drinan, s. J., dean of the B 0 s ton CoIl e g e law school, who spoke Monday to a session of the 97th annual con
vention of the American Associ
ation of School Administrators.
Decisions of the U. S. Supreme
Court and demands of the plu ralism of American society,
Father Drinan said, mean that the public school cannot "assert or assume that it has any right, power or inherent ability to interpret to any student the role of religion in his life." . Failure On the other hand, he said, public schools can teach about religion. They have failed to' do this in the past, he said "One of the most serious ob stacles to the development of a course about religion in the pub Dc school seems to be the falla cious assumption that courses in pUblic education must be either totally objective offerings given
by a religiously uncommitted
person, or, on the other hand,' sheer attempts at 'indoctrination' by some sectarian zealot. _
prevent an unspeakable holo caust. "He -[Pope John) had no way of knowing during Cuba week whether his appeal would make any difference; even so, he said, it was important to try. He could not take the responsibility for withholding any moral power he might possess. And when his ap peal was given prominent atten tion inside the Soviet Union, he felt his faith had been justified.

Respond to Civil Rights Crisis CHICAGO (NC)-U. S. Cath olic civil rights organizations now number 110, compared with 35 less than four years ago, ac cording to the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Jus tice. Twenty-four of tbe Cathonc human relationa groups are. within the area served by the NCCIJ's Southern Field Service. Four years ago the same region had none. Mathew Ahmann, executive director of the agency, said these figures-obtained in a recent NCCIJ survey--represent "8 re sponse by the Catholic commu nity-its lay and clerical leader ship-to the civil rights crisis." Ahmann said his agency was "hard pressed" both to "ade quatelystimulate and service new programs mounting in the in creased number of Catholic in terracial groups." The NCCIJ knows of and is as sisting efforts to organize addi tional Catholic human relations groups in 54 cities, he stated.

"The third possibility of a course in the history of religion to be given by a committed Christian or non-Christian in a scholarly and academic way seems to have been dismissed a priori from the discussion of the
role of religion in the public

Yet, he added, it is a filet that
"the effective teacher is the per
son who is involved profession

Sees Need to Fight Causes of Poverty
WASHINGTON (NC) - The recent National Conference on Poverty in the Southwest spot lighted the fact that anti-pov erty programs must eradicate the causes as well as the effects of deprivation, according to Fr. James L. Vizzard, 8.J., one of three eonference. cochairmen. "All of us ... left TucsOn con vinced· that no matter what it costs, this nation can sHord and must pay the price not only for alleviating the effects of poverty but also for eliminating its causes;" Father Vizzard, director of the Washington office of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference, said in commenting on the meeting: ''More clearly than ever be fore," he declared, "we realized that we have no right to enjoy almost limitless affluence when so many of our fellow citizens, literally through no fault of their own, are denied the op portunity to share in our abun
dance."

Cause for .Poverty Texas Prelate Says 50 Million Workers· Unorganized in ~abor Unions TUCSON (NC) -A prime cause for poverty in the United States is the fact that more than 50 million workers are not en rolled in a worthwhile labor or ganization, Archbishop Robert E.

"Labor leaders must get busy and show the value and neces sity of labor unions to the im mense masses of workers still unorganized," the prelate told the National Conference on Pov erty in the Southwest here.

The best counsel that you can give is to urge the one who con sults you to see his pastor or one of the parish priests.

McAteer, one of a three-priest team oper ating St. Agatha's parish in Chicago, challenged the semi narians to "get people to' show concern for the welfare of others." "It is" our attitudes that count most," he said. "What do we really think of the people we help?" Poverty Aspects The 29-year-old priest ex plained: "We must consider the poor as people of worth who re spond when they consider them selves of value." He said efforts in his parish by college students to tutor chil";' dren with educational problems "is like applying a band-aid to a cancer sore." He added: "while these projects are laudable and somewhat productive, only 400 of 25,000 young people under 20 years of age are being reached." . "There comes a time when you have to forget the band-aid and call for the doctor and ambu lance," he asserted. In the vast amount of work to be done among the underpriv ileged, Father McAteer said poverty is "intimately con nected" with racial considera tions. He cited aspects of pov erty in the'St. Agatha parish unemployment, poor schools, in adequate housing, school drop outs and other social evils which result in "despair and hopelessness" among Negroes of the area. "A Negro child 'acquires self hatred simply because he is black," Father McAteer stated. This results in the inability to love others." He recommended that Ameri cans living in poverty be given the opportunity to develop pow er in the drive to uplift them selves. He said: "It's a risk we must be prepared to take."
Puerto Rican Masons At Catholic Mass SAN JUAN (NC)-The strange sight of a group of Masons wear ing their ceremonial aprons at a Mass has occurred in Puerto Rico. Archbishop Luis Aponte of San Juan said it was "encouraging to the dialogue between the Church and men of good will. From our point of view, it is definitely de sirable that such visits should take place." Representing 17 Masonic lodges throughout the island, the group marched into the Catholic church in full Masonic attire. It marked the first time an official Masonic delegation has attended a Mass in a Catholic church in Puerto Rico. "While there are still differ ences between us, I want to em phasize the bonds that brings us together, rather than the differ ences that drive us apart," Father Antonio Fernandez said in his sermon. "I welcome you here on behalf of the parish, not only today, but any other day you may wish to come back. In time, I trust, our differences will disappear." Maximo Mercado, head of the Masonic delegatiOn, a Methodist, said the idea came to him while he was praying in' his own church. He then arranged; U1e visit.

So we came here.", New Bedford was chosen be cause Fa,ther Raymond, a fOl'mer pastor, had met Sisters of' fhe order some time before and ask ed for their help. Today, there are nine nuns of the order in New Bedford, eight in Matta-poisett, where there is a novitIate, and six in Province town. Last November, Mother Beres became superior of a new house at 23 Milton Street, Fairhaven, in St. Mary's parish. Now six sisters are stationed there, in cluding two of the four Academy students. The school-going nuns are Sis ter Gh)ria and Sister Mary who are picked up each morning and driven to school with their re ligious classmates, Sister Rocis and, Sister Begona,' who are in the Mattapoisett house. Visiting the Fairhaven "stu_ dents" is like visting teen-age students anywhere. They are delighted to have their homework interrupted. "They do two or two and a half hours a day," Mother Beres says. "That's aH the time there is, because they have their pray- ' ers, too." Their eyes spa-rkle and t1hei'l" spirits obviouslya-re high. "You should have seen them during the first snow," Mother Berees says. "They had snowball fights." The four young nuns, who graduated from high schools in SpaIn, came here to be professed.

"I don't know," Sister Glori;:! said in her softly--accented Eng lish, "because I wasn't talking to them then." "I think they were a little embarrassed," Mother Beres said. "They felt everyone was looking at them." But that was four months a·go and the tiines have changed. To day, the four religious students can talk as much-if not as flu ently yet-as their lay class mates. "You ought to hear them when they come from school," Mother Beres says. "All kinds of things are exciting." The four Sister-students come from the same area of Spain. north of Madrid, "where the Winter is much like here," she sa,id.

"Deep in their hearts they be-, lieve they shall overcome some day," Ahmann said. He closed. his talk by having his audience join bands and sing the civil rights anthem "We Shall Over come." The NCCIJ official urged bis listeners to fight the image of the Catholic Church as a white man's religion. But he also cited progress in the Church on civil rights. New Programs "In the Roman Catholic com munity we have seen a light awakening," he said. "There have been a growing number of pastorals announcing new pro grams to aid civil rights. Roman Catholic bishops are far ahead of the lay people in making their commitment. "But we still have a long wCl¥ to go. We still have Selma." Ahmann said that in fighting for civil rights Christians should exhibit the courage and commit ment of such men as the Rev.

Cites Librarians Education Role In Church Work
OAKLAND (NC) - The "in breeding" of Catholic liberals and conservatives which .makes each group accuse the other of "arrogance or intransigence" was criticized here by Msgr. John S. Cummins, chancellor of this California diocese.
CINCINNATI (NC) Bishop Paul F. Leibold has underscored the vital. role librarians must play in edu eation of children and also in the Church's renewal. The Cincinnati Auxiliary urged librarians to help develop good taste in young people and also to encourage them in an awareness of the Church's cur rent history. "These young people are called to be a vital factor in making and experiencing that history," the Bishop said at the annual Catholic Press Day observance sponsored by the Greater. Cin cinnati unit of the Catholic Li brary Association. Hits Sensationalism "In a world sick with crime, violence, and sex," the Bishop observed, "it is our role as Cath olic librarians, writers, and all entrusted with the important of fice of being 'mirrors of truth' to ever more vigorously and with greater zeal and application to our office provide the medicine of goodness, kindness and sanc tity-truth, justice, and charity, to this scene." "A most important aspect of this apostolate," he continued, "is the development of good taste in the young. a special wark ef the librarian, so that not only will the salacious be insipid, but only the truly good will be satis fying-indeed creating a hunger for more and better real litera ture." Deploring "sensational" treat ment of news of the Church in the public press, Bishop Leibold. llrged the librarians to help de velop "discernment in reading about the Church and its activi ties." Know Decrees Too many persons are familiar with opinions propounded by "poor theologians but clever writers," while they "know noth ing about the real decrees of the Second Vatican Council, decla rations of the Holy Fathers and presentations of their local Or dinary," he asserted.
One of the factors creating the present ,conflict between author ity and obedience in the Church, he said, is the difference be tween generations. "In the eyes' of the .older _group," he said, "a superior's word was the totalioy of obedience. For the younger it may be one factor in making a judgment."

"
Solid Base Not everyone, he noted, can be professionally outstanding; but for these, "personal charity and kindness are still respectable and have a rather solid evangel ical base." He added: "In the age of re newal in which we have to act and to do, we can not do an. but we can love all. It is in this generation that charity will be really tested."

Johnson School Aid Bill Views Differ ATLANTIC CITY (NC) A Jewish spokesman feels Pres ident Johnson's aid to education bill compromises the Constitu tion while a Catholic lawyer be Neves it follows a tradition of public-private cooperation fur the sake of persons in need. The two lawyers debated be fore 17,000 public school educa tors in this resort area's canven tion hall for a general session of the annual convention of the American Association of School Administrators. Participants were Philip Ja eobson, New York attorney an<l program coordinartor of the Na tional Community Relations Ad visory Council, a federation of Jewish agencies and Willi~ B. Ball, general counsel of the Pennsylvania Catholic Welfare Committee, Harrisburg.
Young people use the same terms older people use, he said, but in different contexts and be ginning with different premises. "Poverty may be more austere. Charity may be more personal and involved," he said.
Msgr. Cummins told the SIs ter's meeting at the College al the Holy Names that professional competence is required of today's Religious. No one holds for spir itual formation by osmosis. Piety is never a substitute for tech nique," he said, arguing that Religious should receive enough training to put them on an equal footing with their secular col leagues.

Attain Life's Only Purpose By Serving God Positively
MEAN MORE FOR YOUR WEEKLY MONEY!
By Rev. Joseph T. McGloin, S. J. Somewhere along the line somebody made the mis take of imagining that heaven is a place of fleecy clouds, pious expressions and inertia, and that one floats' tnt'O' it either by sentimental hymn-singing or by standhg still and avoiding anything le offense against God whom we ~alistically wrong. And that are supposed to love a:ld serve. sentence, long as it is, con As human beings' with .f-ree 'tains an incredible number will, we are capable of hating
of errors per square millimeter. But even among errors, there are some which are such bloop .ers you wonder how anyone ·could ever fall for them, and that bit abou+ "avoiding any thing legalis · tically wrong" ·com e s pretty close to deserv .ing the Oscar here. Unfortu · nately. this attitude did not die with the old Pharisees, but is still. alive and kicking today. It's true that you've probably heard "Don't do this" so often in · connection with your religion that you tend to consider your faith more an endurance contest than a practice. Heaven is no misty abode of fleecy clouds. Heaven is God, and the eternal, 100 per cent satisfying happiness we're ma<te for in union with Him. It is, moreover, the only natural and supernatural goal we have. And so our purpose now is only one too-to work our way to Him, to achieve this goal of perfect hap piness and satisfaction for which our entire nature is created and for which it cries out constantly -sometimes even looking for it in the wrong places. Phoney Idea How utterly contradictory to imagine that we could achieve a purpose like that by inertia, by standing still, sealing ourselves into a vacuum in an effort to make sure that we avoid what ever might throw us off the track. What track? If that's our attitude, we're standing on a siding. Sometimes, too, convinced that if we stay out of what we cus tomarily and unthinkingly call "sin". we will get into this vague heaven of ours, we also have a phoney idea of just what sin is. We seem to think that sin is the violation of some arbitrary pro hibition dreamed up by some bored cleric who had nothing else to do on a rainy day. Now sin is nothing like this. Sin is an offense against God, and, as such, it is a turning away from the only purpose we have. It's the stupidest of all acts, com pletely irrational, and an insult to our own intellectual nature and human dignity. To make things worse, it is a self-inflicted insult, and is just as smart as a guy's hitting himself over. the head with a hammer. Capable of Hating We are to get to heaven, not by devoting all our efforts to avoiding sin, but by serving God positively - something we can hardly do unless .we first come to know Him and, knowing Him, come to love Him as well. Now, "aturally, when we love a person, we don't go around in sulting or offending him. We try to please him, and we try to avoid doing anything which would hurt him or indicate in any way that we don't seem to care for him. Now this is precisely what sin is-not an arbitrary legal pro hibition dreamed up on merely human authority. but something which of its ver¥ nature is an
someone we once loved. And, more commonly and unfortu nately, we are capable of hurti~ even those we love. Obviously, if we hurt someone llke this seriously enough, it can turn us away from him, an~ him away from us. . The sad fact is, moreovei-, that the more we love a person and are loved by that person, the deeper and more hurtful the offense can be. You don't par ticularly mind, for instance, when strangers ignore or even insult you behind your back. But you can really feel hurt when a friend, someone you love, neglects you or seriously hurts you. The offense and hurt are pretty much in proportion to the love. Now God loves you more than any human being ever pos sibly could, infinitely more-and He's proven it. And so there are ways you can offend Him, too. This is sin, an offense against God. It's not a legalism, not a blind prohibition, but a com plete swerving from our final purpose, a turning against God. It's not a nice thing, nor a beau tiful thing. It's not romantic, nor something "sort of cute," nor something God can "understand and wink at." Sin isn't the romantic fiction dreamed up by the vapid senti mentalist, "It's bigger than both of us," but rather the Agony in the Garden and the Scourging and the Crucifixion. Try finding something beautiful or cute or romantic or negligible in those historical events. Defines Sin Our trouble is that when we want to commit a sin (and chances are that if we didn't want to sometimes we'd prob ably not be working our way to God at all, but only drifting around aimlessly), we make our selves forget all this-God's love, His keeping it~ in existence at every moment-yes, even as we sin. Above all, we don't let our selves think of the Crucifixion. This is sin-taking one of His gifts and using it to -insult and offend God. Because it looks like this act will give us pleasure, we forget the dspleasure it will give God. Because it satisfies our selfish ego or our selfish sensu ality or our selfish autonomy, we don't .let ourselves think of what it does to God--and to our human nature. We are often, at best, Scarlett O'Haras, who, where sin is con cerned, tell ourselves, "I won't think of that today-I'll think of it tomorrow." But tomorrow, like manana, never seems to come. Your purpose, then, is to work your way positively to God. And sin is the stupid, irrational swerving from that purpose-to pick a dandelion, a cheap flower which will lose the yellow glit ter it has very quickly, when the whole gorgeous, breath-taking garden lies ahead. Keep in mind your purpose. Look at that, not at negative things. If you keep your purpose in mind, you'll realize the things which might keep you from it. Moreover, seeing the goal and how worthwhile it really is, you'll also be able to look ahead and see the things which are be tween ¥ou and that goal.

Lanagan of Coyle Is Among Best Young Area Coaches
New~[p~~er Ad Backs A~~~~ma
By Fred Bartek Every coach wants to have a winning t~am every year. Few are so fortunate as to gain this ambition. How ever. Jim Lanagan. head basketball coach at Monsignor James Ooyle ,High School in Taunton. is an exoeption. His teams have never had a los team, to a 9-2-2 record. Before ing campaign and they have he took over the Varsity Club enjoyed post-season success coaching reins, he was the start ing tackle for four years. in various tournaments.

Don't be misled, tt Lanagan said, "even though we have won our share of· ball games I <. don't want to give the im pression t hat winning is the pinnacle of a successful sea son. "Naturally we want to win - what other point is there in any athletic contest. Yet. from my view point the season ill not a succeSs unless the· boys participating in basketball leave with the DecessaIY discipline that will help them meet and overcome the various obstacles in life."
In 1959 Lanagan returned to his Alma Mater as assistant in football and basketball. He be came head basketball coach in 1961 when John O'Brien moved to Bishop Stang High in Dart mouth. In his first varsity cam paign, the Coyle Warriors fin ished in third place in the Bristol County League and went on to win the Bay State tournament. The spark plug of that combine was Dick Brazinski who is cur rently playing for the Cape Cod Community College. Products Doing Well The following year found Lan agan's hoopsters in second place
in the county circuit. They were

Three BasIc Values When asked what exactly he thought high school athletics teach youngsters, the Coyle court
mentor replied: "Well, I would hope that when a boy concluded his high school athletic career, whether in bas kestball, football or baseball, he would have learned three basic values. How to co-operate. how to apply an all out effort for things of value and how to re strain himself. By co-operation I mean that sports should teach a boy the values of a team unity- so that he can apply that same value to his future endeavors. He will need that spirit of co-operation in whatever field he chooses to work. "Also a youngster must learn that anything worthwhile will be gained only by hard work and sacrifice. Finally all men have to learn to control themselves. There are moments in sports . when a boy could become ex cited, which is not bad in itself, as long as he does not lose con trol of himself. "What a boy does on the bas ketball court is a reflection upon himself, his team and his school." Lanagan concluded by saying "I think the best way to sum the whole thing up is to say that athletics must teach youngsten to be able to help themselves."
StclnehiU Stalwart A native of Fairhaven, .Tun is the son of James and Delphine Lanagan. He not only coaches at Coyle today, but graduated from the Diocesan secondary institu tion in 1954. While at Coyle he was a tackle on the football team and was selected on the All Bris tol team in his senior year. He also earned a varsity letter ift basketball and played forward. Jim then matriculated at Stonehill College in North Eas ton which is operated by the Holy Cross Fathers. He was at Stonehill from 1954-1958 and graduated with an A.B. in Edu cation. He was a member of the basketball squad, played center. and earned two varsity letters. In both his junior and senior years Jim was the leading l'e bounder for the Chieftains.
