'Ordi'nary Extends Faculties to Priests

For Convenience of Diocesan Flock

The priests of the Diocese of Fall River received a greater share in the Bishop's powers and responsibilities as the faculties extended to the Episcopate by Pope Paul VI were in turn applied to them.

As' of Thursday, Feb. 27, they will be able to better answer the laity's needs and their own.

were close but never quite made it. And, this year, thanks to the interest and spirit of our people, we have gone -zooming by the quota requirement right up to complete fa mil y coverage."

Monsignor Daley reported.

Two other parishes which were once on the quota-list and then dropped out, are back in the quota-bracket again this year. They are St. George's par­ ish in Westport where Rev. Lorenzo H. Morais is pastor and St. Patrick's parish in Somerset which is headed by Rev. Francis A. McCarthy, pastor.

Three other parishes which are on our "old reliable" list have reported quota. subscrip­ tions again this year. These par­ ishes year after year have achieved quota subscriptions for honie":delivered copies of ,this newspaper, the largest weekly in Southeastern Massachusetts.

They are: St. Boniface, New Bedford, Rev. Charles P. Kellagher, SS,CC,., pastor.

The magazine said ten super­ intendents reported no current interest in lay membership and 16 dioceses having all-clergy boards did' not reply to the questionnaire.

The magazine, in an article by Edward J. Sullivan, said the survey showed the idea of lay i~presentation is still experi­ mental.

"The structure of boards, lines of authority and procedural rules are still being hammered out," it said.

have eompassion c,n the multitude."

St. Mark 8:2

Beloved in Christ: , Next Sunday, we join together to support our neighbor in need, in far off places. We have, thanks to your generosity, done wonderfully well the past eighteen years. Our Ameri­ can Catholic contributions have made a difference bet~een life and death, disease and health, peace and war, to some fifty million people. Allld this, not just once, but many times over this past year.

Our Holy Father illl his 1963 Christmas message said, speaking of the world's needs: "They are so vast and so varied as to stagger one's mind. The first need," he goes on to say, "is hunger, which can become a subversive force.

We should take to heart the plea that rises from hungry masses for food. We should respond, as Our BIessed Lord did, with mercy. We should 'have compassion on the mul­ titude, for they have nothing to eat.'''

This is Pope Paul"s exhortation to us all. As good Catholic people we should be responsive. We have done much in the past. We can and should do more in the future.

So much good has come out of our past giving that we must be persuaded to go on. The Charity of Christ urges us. We are not worthy ,to be called Christian when we close our hearts to someone in need, either because he is' not of our race or nation, or because we are not embarrassed by his presence. . Let us then continue our sympathetic help to all whose need we can supply, thanks to a magnificent organization that brings our charity into all crowded corners of the world. We sum up our efforts and make our contributions, not just because our Bishops ask, or the Holy Father asks us. Let us respond rather in concern for the neighbor be­ cause Christ Himself aHks us, confident that what we do for a neighbor in need, we do for Him. And may the Lord reward our generosity with experience of peace and prosperity in ,our own IJives.

Faithfully yours in Christ,

Pierce Iron Curtain Msgr. Markham Prayer Cards Find Way

CINCINNATI (NC) - Com­ munism's iron curtain wasn't ,strong enough to keep out a bliz­ zard of prayer cards which stormed out of a convent's base­ ment here. A Belgian priest re­ ported the blizzard hit Poland and Hungary.

Msgr. Raphael Markham, sem­ inary professor, who died in, 1955, stirred up the storm of prayer more than three decades ago when he composed a simple prayer of faith, hope, love, and contrition chiefly for dying nonCatholics.

In the intervening years, many millions of copies of his prayer have gone all over th~ world. It has been translated into 35 languages and dialects, including pidgin English. There are copies in extra-large ,type for those with failing sight and in Braille for the blind.

The Franciscan Sisters of the Poor, for whom Msgr. Markham was chaplain. carry on his cam­ paign under the name of the Markham Prayer Card Aposto­ late. Out of the basement room in their Cincinnati provincial headquarters go bundles 01.

prayer cards destined for mis­ sionaries, leper colony adminis­ trators, nurses, Legion of Mary officials, military chaplains, and others who have found Msgr.

Markham's prayer a valued -aid in their apostolic work.

In the past year close to one million copies were distributed, along with another 50,000 copies of other special prayers com­ posed by Msgr. Markham.

The Belgian priest who at­ tended a "Church of Silence" ex­ hibition last year at Tournai re­ ported to the Sisters that he had succeeded in passing parcels of prayer cards into Poland and Hungary.

Asserts Concept Of Shared-Time Deserves Look WASHINGTON (NC) A leading Catholic education official told a House com­ mittee that the idea of shared-time education deserves a close look.

Shared-time could be "a pos­ stble step or partial solution toward the pursuit of excel­ lence" in education, Msgr. Fred_ erick G. Hochwalt, director of the Education Department, Na­ tional Catholic Welfare Confer­ ence, testified before an educa­ tion committee chaired by Rep. Adam Clayton Powell of New York.

The committee was conducting hearings on a Powell bill calling for appropriations of $5 million annually for three 'years for pilot projects and study on shared-time education in sci­ ence, mathematics and foreign languages.

Under shared-time plans, stu­ dents enrolled in church-related schools take some of their eourses in public schools.

Powell's plan would be in the form of an amendment to the 1958 National Defense Education Act. Msgr. Hoehwalt said the Pow_ ell proposal for experimentation and investigation of the shared­ time concept "shows a high sen­ sitivity to the needs of our times," He stressed, however, tha t he spoke only for himself, since the NCWC Education De­ partment has taken no official stand on the issue.

Legitimate Differences He noted that the practicality and desirability of shared-time are questions about which edu­ eators and parents "have legiti­ mate differences and convic­ tions," He said that "maybe" the Powell bill could assist the pub­ lic to become "well informed on the issues and then arrive at a prudent judgment."

Although the idea of shared­ time is'not new, Msgr. Hochwalt said, only in the past three years -since the start in 1961 of "in­ formal conversations" among groups of educators and religious leaders - has interest in the eoncept really blossomed. In that time, "an astonishing amount of literature and commentary" has appeared on the subject, he said.

New York to Study Tuition Relief Bill BROOKLYN (NC)-A bill to provide annual grants of $100 to students in private and church­ related high schools in New York State has been introduced in the State Legislature by As­ semblyman George A. Cincotta of Brooklyn.

Edward M. O'Keefe of Niag­ ara Falls, state president of Citizens for Educational Free­ dom, said the non-sectarian par­ ents' organization will campaign :€lOr the legislation.

Proposes Income Tax Credits for Tuition WASHINGTON (NC) - Rep. .lohn W. Wydler of New York has proposed legislation to per­ mit Federal income tax credits :!!or tuition of children attending parochial and private schools.

"These people who pay school property taxes and tuition would be given a break," the Congress­ man said in a statement.

Declaring his bill is designed mainly to help middle income homeowners, Wydler said it would allow a tax credit for a percentage of costs at elemen­ tary, secondary and college­ level schools.

Text of Bishop Connolly's Letter

Granting Special Faculties

For the sake of completeness and clarity I write to advise you as to what privileges the clergy engaged in pastoral work 'in this Diocese has received or may receive on request of the Chancery under faculties of the Motu Proprio "Pastorale Munus."

1.) Permission for a just reason to celebrate Mass twice on weekdays, and even three times on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, pro­ vided genuine pastoral necessity so demands.

(Para. 2)

Note: Canon Law, as you know, determines that no one, without a special indult, may receive more than one stipend a day. The only alternative I know of to this is for the Ordinary to seek an indult from Rome which when granted stipulates that stipends for a second (or third) Mass be sent to the Chancery to be used for support of the Seminary or a charitable work.

Z.) Priests who celebrate two or more Masses are allowed to take liquids even though there is not an interval of an hour before Mass.

(Par-a. 3) 3.) Priests are permitted, for a just cause, for devotional purposes, or when ailing or re­ cuperating from illness, to celebrate Mass private­ ly at any hour of the day, with due observance of other prescriptions in the Law. (Para. 4) 4.) Priests are permitted to celebrate public evening Masses for the convenience of the faith­ ful:

on January 1, the Octave of the Nativity

of Our Lord, and on other holy days of obliga­

tion, b.)

on All Souls Day,

eo>

on the First Friday of the Month,

d.)

on the weekdays of Lent,

e.)

during the Forty Hours Prayer,

t.:t

during the Mission or Retreat.

12.) Granting priests the faculty to celebrate Mass outside a sacred place, but in a reputable and ~ecent place, never in II bedroom, on an altar stone: in an individual case for a just cause but habitually only for a graver cause. (Para. 7) 13.)

Granting also the faculty t'O celebrate _ Mass for a just cause at sea and on rivers, with ' observance of the required precautions. (Para. 8)

Evening Masses are to begin between the hours of three and eight, and there are to be DO more than two evening Masses in each church, in the above listed circumstances.

(Para. 4)

14.) Granting the faculty to priests, who 'en­ joy the privilege of the portable altar, that, for a just and grave cause, they may use, instead of an altar stone, the Greek antimension, or the cloth blessed by the bishop, in the right corner of which are placed relics of the holy martyrs authenticated by, the bishop, with due obser­ vance of other requirements of the rubrics, par­ ticularly regarding altar cloths and the corporal.

(Para. 9)

5.) Permission is hereby granted all pastors and administrators of Parishes in the Diocese of Fan River to provide ONE Sunday Mass in the afternoon or evening. The afternoon Mass is to be at 5:00 P.M. If a choice is made for an evening Mass it may not be before or later than 7:30 P.M. No Parish is allowed the luxury of two Sunqay Masses after the noon hour. (Para. 4)

15.) Commuting for reason of w~ak eye­ sight or other cause, as long as the condition persists, the Divine Office into daily recitation of at least a third part of the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary or of other prayers.

(Para. 26)

Note 1: All priests possessed of faculties in the Diocese of Fall River are instructed to preach at each public Mass in chapels, shrines, and mission and parish churches of the Diocese, as is prescribed by the Oecumenical Council.

Pastors who make use of the 'faculty of Paragraph No. 5 must record. at the Chancery the hour chosen for the Sunday afternoon or evening Mass. No changes may be made there­ after without permission.

Note 2: Associated with this faculty a per­ mission is indicated to distribute Holy Com­ munion in the evening, outside of Mass. I 'have no thought of granting such a general permission. Where necessity exists, and that a serious necessity, yes. But I do not believe that Holy Communion, excepting in the care of the sick and the last anointing, should be separated from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. And Holy Communion at Mass should not be distributed until after the celebrant has received.

MONTREAL (NC) - Forty per cent of Montreal's English speaking couples getting married this year will have taken the special marriage course spon­ sored by the Diocesan Commit­ tee on Preparation for Marri­ age, now in its 20th year.

This was revealed in a recent survey. While figures are not available for French-language couples, their percentage may be even higher as the marriage preparation course originally was sponsored here through the French-language Catholic Young Workers.

In addition to courses in Cath­ olic parishes there are similar courses now being given in United Churches and Anglican parishes of the city.

Stress Religious Basis Programs are very much along the lines. They touch on all as­ pects of married life, religious, physical, social and economic.

The religious basis of marriage is emphasized, but couples also are advised by doctors, econo­ mists, sociologists, 1 a w y e r s , bankers and insurance men.

One fact which is disap­ pointing to religious groups is that registrations do not include many in the young age group, 18 years of age and younger. These young people marry soon after leaving high school and give the Impression to their clergy they do not need to learn about mar­ riages. An effort is being made to reach them through their par­ ents.

Continued from Page One Mass in the Diocese, Since normally the people will fully participate by receiving eommunion at Mass, the prie9t must see to it that the spirit and the law of the Church as regards Holy Communion is safeguarded and emphasised.

As regards the Sacraments, of­ ficially designated chaplains may now, under certain circum­ stances, also administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to their charges.

The priest tried by suffering Js also comforted. Those who might suffer "poor eyesight or are afflicted with some other infirmity" can - with due per­ mission - offer daily the sim­ pler Masses of the Blessed Vir­ gin or of the Dead. If they might be totally blind they may still celebrate Mass - with permis­ sion and the aid of another priest Gil" deacon. If held in the rectory by illness, they may even cele­ brate Mass there in an appropri­ ate place - again, with permis­

sion.

In the Holy Father's Decree of December 3, 1963, therefore, the Church has sought and found new ways to better serve her ehildren - lay and clerical.

Worcester Priests Return to School WORCESTER (NC) - Priests In the Worcester diocese are go­ ing back to school to learn about the liturgy. .

A 10-week series of seminars has been scheduled by Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan at Holy Cross College to give priests a solid understanding of the re­ newal of Christian worship.

In a letter sent to all priests In the diocese, Bishop Flanagan said the impetus for the meet­ ings has been given by the new eonstitution on the Sacred Lit­ urgy. He noted that the consti­ tution notes the need for the education of the clergy in order to restore and promote forms of worship that draw the full and active participation of the pe0­ ple.

Council Speeches Sign of Freedom CHICAGO (NC)-Criticism of the large number of speeches given at the ecumenical coun­ cil overlooks the educative value of this airing of issues, a priest who served as a council expert said here.

"This was a necessary price to pay to bring about the 'ag­ giornamento' that everyone was talking about," said Msgr.

George G. Higgins, director of the Social Action Department, National Catholic Welfare Con­ ference, and columnist for The Anchor.

"They had to get everything out in the open * * * The educa­ tional value for the tQtal Church, not only for the Fathers, of getting these ideas out on the floor from all parts of the world and all cultures was a very healthy thing," Msgr. Higgins said in a talk sponsored by the Quigley Preparatory Seminary Forum.

He said the lengthy discus­ sions have established. "that this was not a rubber stamp council."

Msgr. Higgins noted that some commentators have accused the secular press of "distorting" some aspects of the council.

New Cathedral Draws Mixed Reaction SAN FRANCISCO (NC) - A wealth of reaction has greeted the unusual design for new St. Mary's cathedral here, Arch­ bishop Joseph T. McGucken dis­ closed.

The proposed cathedral was compared to a tepee, a sports arena, a launching pad, era eke r box, orange squeezer, washing machine agi­ tator - and one writer said it "looks like my hat," the Arch­

251 Religious Sent To Latin America WASHINGTON (NC) - A to_ tal of 251 priests and Brothers were sent to Latin America by U. S. religious communities dur­ ing.1963.

According to a poll conducted by the Latin America Commit­ tee of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, 1,546 priests and BrotherS' are now assigned to Central and South America.

Of this total, Maryknoll has the greatest number with 281 men working in six countries.

"The Deputy"

The presentation in this country of the controversial play, "The Deputy," in which the late Pope Pius XII is held criminally responsible for not having hurled condem­ nations at the Nazis during the persecution of the Jews, must be considered in the light of several undeniable facts.

The first is that events and persons must be seen in the circumstances of their time. And during that horrible period of history, no one in the whole world had any doubt but that Pius XII was opposed to the madness of Hitler, and no one in the whole world had anything but praise for his efforts, personal and through others, to shelter Jews from the Nazi scourge.

Of course, it would have been more dramatic for Pius to have thrown thunderbolts of anathemas from the Vati­ can at Hitler and Comp~my. But Pius was not writing a play or playing a role. He was living a life and his life and . acts spoke louder than any words.

People seem to forget that Pius XI had already issued the strongest possible condemnation of Nazism in 1937 in his encyclical letter, "Mit Brennender Sorge." This was a clear-cut and burning indictment. And its effect on Hitler seems to have amounted to precisely nothing.

There are some people who place great store by state­ ments. Indeed, they seem to feel that once the statement is made the work is done. In the face of evil - and Pius XII showed this by his acts - more than words are needed.

There are times, o:f course, when a man must speak for the record. But Pius XI had already spoken for the record in his encyclical denouncing Nazism. An ineffectual pronouncement by Pius XII would hardly have 'been pre­ ferred by the Jews whom Pius aided by his actions.

The Church has always been opposed to evil. The position of Pius XII on the murder of our Jewish brothers by the Nazis was unequivocal. The help he gave the Jews much. They themselves have testified to this.A basic consideration in the whole matter is that most non-Catholics and many Catholics have an exaggerated idea of the power of the Pope, any Pope, to make men listen and obey. A naive concept of the papacy makes them think that the Pope has only to speak and his words will be heeded. The fact is that Popes since the time of Peter have been trying to preach Christianity and morality to the world and with what success? And yet Pius XII was ex­ pected to speak and a madman would have been contained!

As the Vicar General of the Diocese of Berlin charitably says in speaking of the author of the play: "He is too young and too inexperienced to have grasped the true situation of the Holy See when confronted with totalitarian dicta­ torships so lacking in all moral sense and so fanatically determined to follow the course they had chosen with no regard for any protests."

Pope Pius XII was faced with a situation: Would his outspoken protests have stayed the hand of Hitler or would these have driven that fanatic to greater rages of fury on innocent victims? Pius made a decision to strive himself and instruct others to do all they could to save the Jews.

He judged that mere words against Hitler would have served as barbs to infuriate rather than as deterrents.

Robert M. W. Kempner, deputy chief of U.S. counsel for the prosecution of major Nazi war criminals at Nurem­ berg has written that Pius did in fact make "numerous efforts to intervene in Berlin on behalf of many Jews" and these efforts were "flatly rejected" by the Nazis. He adds that "every propagandistic move of the Catholic Church against the Reich government of Hitler ... would have hastened the execution of still more Jews and priests."

The editor of the German Catholic newspaper, Mon­ signor Erich Klausener, whose father, the head of the Berlin Catholic Action, was murdered by the Nazis in 1934, sums up the play this way: the issue confronting Pius was not a case of a confliict between political decisions and Christian charity, as "The Deputy" suggests, but the far more painful conflict between what Pius wanted to do and the limitations imposed by external events.

C'"fhnoLl'1h thE Week With the ChLlnch

By REV. ROBERT W. HOVDA, Catholic University TODAY - Thursday, Third Week in Lent. The Second Vat­ ican Council's Constitution on public worship places an empha_ sis on preaching which may be startling to some * * * and even unwelcome news.

Yet preaching, the proclama­ tion of the good news, was the great Physician's task during His public ministry (Gospel) and is a major work of all who would heal humanity in His wake and in His name. Both lessons are concerned with this message, and with the all-im­ portant .fact that it is God's.

TOMORROW - Friday, Third Week in Lent. Water as a means of life, in both First Reading and Gospel, is a symbol of baptism and of the kingdom of God's sons in which "true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth" (Gospel).

Our desire at all times, but es. pecially during Lent, must be a thirst for "living water," a thirst for the water of divine life in Christ. This is the water which satisfies the deepest aspirations of man, puzzling to those who attempt to quench their thirst at more shallow fountains.

pure joy, the city of freedom (First Reading).

We have a foretaste of Easter, then, in the calm certainty of a redemption already won. And the Gospel points again to the inexhaustible riches of Christ, to His meeting of every human need.

MONDAY-Fourth Week In Lent. Jesus Christ Himself is the new and definitive temple of God (Gospel). Wherever He exists-in glory, in the commun­ 'ity, the Church which is His· body; in the eucharistic pres­ ence-there is the temple, inde­ structible.

This is why the early Chris­ tians never spoke of the church building as "the Churth." They used the word ''Church'' solely of the assembly of the faithful, the community. And when they spoke of the' building they called it "the house of the Church."

Christianity is profoundly per­ sonalist. It was to claim and save and elevate the person that He came (First Reading).

SATURDAY - Third Week in Lent. God's justice is not the limited justice and the sense­ less violence of man and of hu­ man society. Both Susanna (First Reading) and the .woman guilty of adultery (Gospel) are saved from death or human re­ crimination by God's interven­ tion.

In them we see figures of those who are about to be re­ ceived into the Church, upon whom our Father is to pour His life and love through Jesus Christ, with whom we fast in preparation. .

TUESDAY - Fourth Week in Lent. The Old Testament or cov­ enant is a preparation for the New. And Moses' mediatorship (First Reading) was but a pre­ figuring of that full and perfect mediatorship given to man in Jesus Christ (Gospel).

Our approach to the Father during Lent as always is through Christ and finds its heart and center in the Lord's Supper, the Mass.

Every creature of God helps us love Him, because He is present for those who have eyes to see. But only One Person reconciles us to God, only One unites us to Him with a gift of life.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT. Lent is a long season and we may have lost our original sense of purpose in it, our zeal for re­ newal and penance. As we gather for today's Mass, organ, flowers, color, as well as the texts of the liturgy tell us that the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of plenty, of perfect satisfac­ tion and happiness, is ours.

Lent is still necessary, because without faith and hope and love we lose the way * * * and Lent's purpose is to sharpen up those gifts of God through exercise.

But the end, beyond our glimpses and. our strl.lggles, is

.WEDNESDAY-':Fourth Week in Lent. "All I know is that once I was blind, now I can see" (Gospel). This simple theme of darkness and light, night and day, possesses endless resources for our understanding of the gift of Faith.

All three readings today en. courage us in our Lenten quest for a deeper identification with Jesus in whom is bur cleansing and purgation, our new spirit, our ability to see. The "cleans­ ing waters" (Entrance Hymn) of Baptism inaugurated this ide~­ tification but it is a lifetime work

them we choose to ignore them.

Weare safe and secure in our world, we have nearly every­ thing we want: food, clothes, nice home, telephones and cars. But let us stop for a mo­ ment and think of living in a one room house with six or sev­ en children: A h 0 use barely substantial enough to hold all­ let alone live in it. The stove­ if you want to call it that - is merely a hole dug in the diri floor in the center of the room.

One large kettle is used to cook the meager meal, consisting mainly of corn. These are the conditions of many sections of Guatemala.

"Is . there anything being done? What can' we do? Yes, there is a great deal being done.

People of aU religions are ded­ icating themselves to the wel­ fare of their neighbors. They begin by taking care of the phy­ sical needs of these people and building them up. Then the spir­ itual needs are taken care of.

You can't go into a desparate land of desperate people and im­ mediately begin teaching them about God w3en they are starv­ ing to death, often sick with diseases that are outdated to most of us. They need food, medicine, clothing, houses, un­ derstanding and love.

'Traditional Catholics' "Most of them are Catholics, but only by Baptism. They know nothing of why they 'are bap­ tized 01" what this sacrament . does to their souls. They are merely traditional Catholics, baptized because their ancestors were.

"They are skilled in the age old arts of weaving and basketry, but they know nothing of agriculture, the con­ structing of roads or exporting.

Neither are they learned in reading or writing or medicine.

The cultivation of these skills is the great aim of missioners throughout the world, so that they may bring the word of Christ where it has not yet been neard or loved.

"We cannot go into their midst and tell them this is this and that is that. We must become one of them, not just give them what we have but help them utilize the things that are native to them. We must help them to better themselves. We can't go in and do everything for them but rather we must teach them so that they may teach others." .

THE ANCHOR'7 Veteran New Bedford Priest Joins La SaZette Thurs., March 5, 1964 Community As He Nears 80th Birthday Honors Memory

By RusseD Collinge In 1911 Victor O. Masse was ordained and assigned as curate to St. Anthony's in New Bedford. In 1914 Father Masse was transferred to Sacred Heart in New Bedford, and in 1921 he moved to St. Mathieu's in Fall River, where he remained until February of 1926 when he became pastor of St. Michael's in Ocean Grove. In 1936 Father Masse left St. Michael's to assume the pastorate of Sacred Heart in North Attleboro. In 1939, Bishop Cassidy asked him if

he would be- willing to take over his old parish of St. An­ thony in New Bedford, which was now, according to the Bishop, ". big parish with a big debt."

In talking with Father Masse you can understand that neither qualification gave him pause, for he is obviously a priest who welcomes tough conditions as IOmething to be met head-on and disposed of as quickly as possible-a proclivity based on sound ability to handle people and trouble.

what, at least not in modern 80­

clety. Your husband seems to be living in the last century and not to have heard of the "emanci­ pation" of women. Even then most women got out of the home to shop, and enjoyed some rec­ reation if only by visiting with • e I g h b 0 r e who were al90 .hopping.

ChaqeB Posel"roblems The contrast with the past is self-evident. Today, a wife may DOt only work outside the home, me may even earn more than her husband; although this is the exception, not the rule. Child rearing tends more and more frequently, as it should, to be a joint enterprise of husband and wife. While women are usullJly the shoppers, men seem to go with them or sometimes to take this over. But all of these ehanges, . gOod or bad, pose prob­ lems.

They mean that the individual family must define the roles of husband, wife and ehUdren. At times circumstances alone will do this lor them. If a wife works .. the evening, a husbimd will have to baby sit and thus pl~y • more important part in' child rearing than usual. If a husband or wife proves incompetent to handle money, the other spouse out of pure necessity should take over.

But for the most part it is not 110 simple as this. Social 'change bas made the position of the fa­ ther somewhat weaker than in the past. The American family is more democratic and today not only wives but even older chn­ dren seek a voice in the manage­ ment of family affairs.

Just how a husband O!' wife views this will depend in no small measure on their indivi­ dual personalities and on· the kind of family fri)m which each

came.

In Stonehill Food Service Workshop

Aid for Students Vita I Ii1vestment

What's· more ecumenical than food? To prove that its preparation and consumption is an activity that knows neither nationality nor creed, Episcopalian and Catholic Sisters will join in attendance at a food service workshop to be held Sunday, Aug. 2 through Wednesday, Aug. 12 at Stonehill College, North Easton. Classes will be conducted in French and English for the religious from all parts of the United States and Can­ ada who will be enrolled for the unique course. Brothers as well as Sisters will participate in the program, said Brot~ Herman Zaccarelli, C.S.C., work­ shop director.

Why a special food course for religious? Brother Herman ex­ plains that religious congrega­ tions, operating under a vow of poverty, have special problems with regard to food preparation and management. Cooks need to make a particular study of ','types of foods which will pro­ vide the basic nutritional re­ quirements for instutional meals when there is a stringent budget imposed by the vow of poverty."

On the other side of the ledger, there are special days to be celebrated in the Church calen­ dar. Brother Herman's course includes "Deluxe Menus for Special Feast Days,' as well as special menus' for Fridays and fast days.

Special Days Students will enjoy a field trip to leading Catholic food service establishments in the Boston area aI}d will take home some 300 pages of material to help them teach other members of their congregations Brother Herman's secrets of success in cookery.

The Holy Cross Brother, a pioneer in the field of food management and preparation for Catholic institutions, and author of four books in the field, is Jl()thing jf not thorough in his­ syllabus for the food service workshop.

A study of food losses in pur­ chasing and storage will be fol­ lowed by a detailed examina­ tion of the proper technique .of serving leftovers, he promises, thus holding out hope to semi­ narians and Sisters of better and

WASHINGTON (NC) - Fed­ eral expenditures to assist stu­ dents in getting a college edu­ cation should be seen as a "vital investment, not as expense," Sen. Vance Hartke of Indiana said here.

The legislator told the Senatt education subcommittee that the people of the nation are ready to back legislation to aid youths seeking higher education.

Hartke cited wide public sup­ port and the narrowness of the' recent Senate defeat of a pro­ posal to grant those paying fo! a college education a tax credit for a portion of the expenses.

Four-Point Program The bill was put forward b7 Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Con,. necticut. Hartke opposed th1!

Ribicoff measure and offered a substitute for it. He appeared before the committee to urge • action on his measure (S.2940).

The Indiana legislator's bill proposes a four-point aid pro­ gram of the National Defense Education Act, a program of in­ surance for student loans gotten by students from commercial sources and a work-study pro­ gram which would make Fed­ eral funds available to finance on-campus jobs for students.

HOW IT'S DONE: Art of decoration with mashed potatoes is studied by food service workshop participants at Stonehill College. This year's course will begin Sunday, Aug. 2, last through Wednesday, Aug. 12, under directiqn of Brother Herman Zaccarelli, C.S.C. tastier disguises for that last bit of mashed potatoes or tuna fish salad.

Diets for those living under varying conditions of activity and rest as well as special diets for religious who are ill will be offered, and for reference work the most extensive library any­ where on food service manage­ ment will be available in the Student Union B u i 1 din g at Stonehill.

Finally, fallen cakes will be a thing of the past for graduates of Brother .., Herman's course. A

Governm'ent Roie Important In Social, Economic Life

By Most Kev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. . There was a leper who lived in one of our largest cltfesf For years the disease had eaten nerves in his hands and feet and scarred his face. Doctors, not familiar with the disease, did not discover it until It had so ravaged him that boys made fun of him in the streets and on subways, and women said: "He will soon be gone. You will have to look at that ugly face much longer."

By Msgr. George G. Higgins In last week's column it was suggested that Protestants, Catholics and Jews in the United States would probably agree on the so-called principle of subsidiarity as a starting pOint in their discussion of Church-State relations in the

field of health and welfare ment, tended, by and large, to ~ if they could first come treat the role of government in to agreement on the precise a rather gingerly or cautious meaning of this fundamental manner-and quite understand­

tants--and pos­ sibly, also, of

certain Jewish experts in the field of health • n d welfare­ that the prin­ ciple of subsid­ iarity, as com­ • Monlyemployed

by Catholic writers, means that that government is best which taverns least.

This is not what the principle ef subsidiarity really means to well informed students of Catho­ lic social principles. On the con­ tl'llry it means that, while gov­ ernment should not arbitrarily wurp the role of individuals or voluntary organizations in social and economic life,neither should it 'hesitate to adopt such pro­ li'ams as are required by the, eommon good and are beyorld. the competence of individual. citizens or groups of citizens.

Cites Encyclicals . Certain Catholic writers ma~' themselves be partially to blame that so many non-Catholics fail to see that this is the real mean.• ing of the principle of subsidi­ arity in the. Catholic tradition of. aocial ethics. . Some. Catholc writers,. in all effort to highlight the impor­ tance of voluntary non-govern­ mental organizations, may have left the impression, inadvertent­ ly, that they were playing down' the proper role of government In the field of social welfare and' BOcial reform.

If any Catholic writers in the past have taken such a one-sided view of the -:>rinciple of subsid­ iarity, they will want to redress the balance in the light of Pope John XXIII~s two great encycE. cals, Mater et Magistra (Chrill­ tianity and Social Progress) and Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth).

Complex Problems One of the most noteworthy features of these two encyclicals is their realistic and h~hly so­ phisticated emphasis on Ule need for government to play an ncreasingly more important role in social life because of the com­ plexity of the problems that have arisen since the publication of Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum ~d Pius Xl's Quadraiesimo Anno.

Forty years later, Pius XI was able to take a slightly more re­ laxed approach to the role of government in social and eco­ nomic life. He laid great stress on the importance of govern­ mental action as one means-­ though not the only means, of course--of solving the social and economic problems of the 30s.

A priest heard about him, findin&, him the vel'J' cia,. he contemplated snicide. With charity and frankness he hold him: "You will never find anyone to love you

Lord." As the disease was no longer com­

of two years. It took patience and much charit,. to overcome the bitterness in his

heart.

A few weeks before his First Com­ munion, the leper brought three young married women, all ex-fashion models, to the priest. One of them had heard about DU1' friend while making a picture about· leprosy in Africa; Each of these women, (none of them Catholic) took turns bringing him to their home on weekends. The priest said to them: ''I Know I love him because he Is Christ to me, the Christ who seemed like a leper Oft the Cross. I love him because he is a living crucifiX, not a plastic one, and evel'J' time he comes to my houSe, he comes as the ambassador of the poor of the world: But tell me, why do you bear him such charity?"

Priest Stresses Prayer for Unity NEWARK (NC) - The Catb­ olic, Orthodox an~ Anglican cburches should be m the van­ guard of the Christian unity movement, a New York priest said at an Epicopalian breakfast here.

Some 100 Episcopalian clergy and laymen from 13 parishes in this area attended the breakfast.

They heard Father George B. Ford former counselor to Catho­ lic st~dents at Columbia Univer­ sity, note that there are many similarities in belief and struc­ ture between Catholicism, Or­ thodoxy and the Anglicans.

For this reason, he said, they should strive for "unity in doc­ trine with great diversity in practice."

Unity, he told the group, is "the prayer of Christ * * * the demand of reason * * * the goal of love." He deplored the Divi­ sions of the past and said the Catholic Church itself had "held to a very unbrotherly aloofness" until the reign of the late Pope John XXIII. "Over the centuries," he said, "we have stressed our differ­ ences. Since it is the prayer of Christ for unity, it is so strange that we never helped to make that prayer !l reality." Howe,,:er, he said the Anglican commUnIon "has ;lways been considered, and rightly so, the bridge church" between Catholicism and Protestantism.

Cardinal Koenig Continued from Page One release of the controversial Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty' primate of the Church in Com­ munist dominated Hungary, who is now living in asylum in the Amercan Legation in Budapest.

Cardnal Koenig was named a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church with His Eminence Rich­ ard Cardnal Cushing of Boston on December 15, 1958.

Another prominent liberal Cardinal of the Church, Leon Joseph Cardinal Suenens, Arch­ bishop of Brussels, Belgium, one of the four Moderators of the Second Vatican Council, will be the final speaker of the Chris­ tian Culture Lecture Series on Wednesay evening, May 6.

Admission to lectures will be by ticket only. Tickets can be obtained by contacting the Paul­ ist Information CenteI: 5 Park Street, Boston.

The national magazine, pub­ lished here by the Passionist Fathers, concentrates (March is­ sue) on two lay-clerical boards: Baltimore and Saginaw, Mich.

Changes The Baltimore board, its 16 members evenly divided be­ tween clergy and laity, is re­ ported to have undertaken a broad series of changes in the past 18 months.

"The Baltimore board has es­ tablished a new salary scale, tenure and group insurance for lay teachers, regulated class size downward, launched a bus program to utilize empty class­ rooms in the inner city and de­ veloped a special program for the handicapped," Sign says.

The Saginaw board, the mag­ azine reports, is headed by an accountant and in the past six months has projected a free ,pen­ sion plan for lay teachers, raised nuns' salaries, and updated the system's regulatory handbook.

The Saginaw board regularly admits the secular press to ita meetings, the magazine ~a.

Study Beatification Cause

MOTHER MARY KATHARINE DREXEL

Continued from Page One charity, but also gave herself to that cause and founded a reli­ gious community to perpetuate her charities.

Born in Philadelphia, Nov. 26, 1858, Mother Katharine Drexel was the second daughter of Francis Anthony Drexel and Hannah Jane Langstroth Drexel.

Her mother died when Kath­ arine was five weeks old. In 1860 her father married Emma Bouvier and it was under her devout and conscientious super­ vision that Katharine was edu­ cated by private tutors and in:­ structed in the Catholic Faith.

Francis Anthony Drexel was a member of the prominent Philadelphia Dr e x e 1 family, founders of the great financial empire of Drexel and Company.

Katharine Drexel and her sisters followed in his footsteps as gen­ erous patrons of schools, mis­ sions and orphan asylums.

Lay Apostle.

At their father's death (Feb. 15, 1885), his estate, which was well over $15,000,000, was placed in trust for his daughters.

Mother Katharine' after 1945 re­ ceived the full income of the estate; at her death the funds were distributed to 27 Catholic institutions.

Shortly after her father's death, when a life of ease and luxury could have been hers, Katharine Drexel became inter­ ested in the plight of the Indian missions in the West. Not only did she give of her wealth, she went there as a lay apostle to help in the work.

Pope's Blessi'ng The need of priests and Sis­ ters to staff the missions that were rising in all parts of the Indian areas through her finan­ cial aid prompted Katharine Drexel to petition Pope Leo XIII during an audience to send some congregation that would give all its time and effort to the Indian missions. She was thinking of entering a cloistered community of nuns, but her income could support the missionary work, she said.

Pope Leo XIII listened in­ tently, then said to Katharine Drexel: "But why not be a mis­ sionary yourself, my child?"

Then he blessed her-"and all your future works."

Upon her return to America, Katharine entered upon her life's work. Under the guidance of Bishop James O'Connor of Omaha, Neb., who was the for­ pastor of the parish church

mer

of the Drexel family in Holme. burg, Pa., on May 6, 1889, she entered the novitiate of St. Mary's Pittsburgh, Pa., the first house of the Sisters of Mercy in the U. S. Here Miss Drexel re­ ceived the habit and veil of the novice Nov. 7, 1889, and the name in religion, Sister Mary Katharine.

First Motlier General Bishop O'Connor died in May, 1890, and the direction of the new congregation was taken over by Archbishop Patrick J. Ryan of Philadelphia. Sister Mary Katharine pronounced her vows on Feb. 12, 1891, and was appointed the first mother gen­ eral of the congregation, which was to be known as the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Colored People.

By the time the Sisters were able to move into the newly built motherhouse at Cornwells Heights, Bucks County, Pa., Dec. 3, 1892, the Sisters numbered 30 members.

The new congregation even in its infancy, received the per­ sonal encouragement of Pope Leo XIII. The rule of the con­ gregation received the decree of final approbation on May 15, 1913, under St. Pius X. From the motherhouse in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Mother Katharine carried her apostolate into Alabama, Ari­ zona, California, Georgia, Illi­ nois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massa­ chusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New' York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Penn­ sylvania, South Dakota, Tennes­ see, Texas, VIrginia and the District of Columbia.

550 Religious The membership of her eon­ gregation now includes 550 pro­ fessed Religious. At the mother­ house in Cornwells Heights are located a convent for the Sisters, a novitiate, Blessed Sacrament College for training the Sisters destined for the missions, and a home and school for girls.

In addition to the mother­ house, there are 54 local houses.

The schools for the Indians and Negroes staffed by the Sisters include 10 high schools, 51 ele­ mentary schools, and Xavier University, New Orleans, with an enrollment of more than 1,000 students.

The Sisters also staff two s0­ cial service and catechetical cen­ ters, a house of studies for Sis­ ters seeking degrees at the Cath­ olie University of America, Washington, D. C., and a mission center.

Jersey City Parish Makes Effort

Against School Dropout 'Problem

JERSEY CITY (NC)-A pro­ gram to eliminate school drop­ outs is being conducted by a parish in a Negro section here.

Launched by Msgr. Eugene J. Reilly, pastor of Christ the King parish, it utilizes some 175 stu­ dents from Catholic high schools as tutors for as many young­ sters at nearby Public School 14.

The importance of education opportunities for the Negroes in his parish was brought home to Msgr Reilly last year. At the request of a local supermarket manager he sent 10 boys to be interviewed for stock clerk po­ sitions. All were rejected be­ cause they were unable to per­ form the rudimentary arithme­ tic the job required.

"We feU we had to do some­ thing, even ff it were only a beginning," he said. What he did was to join the Parents' Council of P. S. 14 and outline the plan for individual tutoring.

Directin~ the program is Father James F. A. O'Brien, an assist­ ant at Christ the King.

The same tutor works with the same youngster week after week.

Professional teachers counsel the tutors periodically.

Change Parents' Views Father O'Brien reports that "marks are up generally, and there's been a change in atti­ tude."

"While some children have dropped out," he said, "this has happened only because the fam_

ily wasn't convinced of the need for education. In many cases the problem of changing parents' views is a great deal more diffi­ cult ,than dealing with the youngsters.

"Most parents, though, have been more than enthusiastic; they've been helping us in every way possible."

Encouraged by the success of the program, Msgr. Reilly and Father O'Brien are now recruit­ ing college students to tutor high school youngsters.

"It's the dropout we're aiming at," Father O'Brien said. "We're not trying to talk the etropout back into school; we're trying to do away with the conditions that make him drop out in the first place."

Lauds Statement LONDON (NC) - Sir Barn~.

Janner, Member of Parliament and President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, has welcomed "the momentous and hi g h I y significant statement" submitted to the ecumenical council freeing the Jews from the accusation of collective guilt for the Crucifixion of Christ.

Dedication to Conformity Imperils Soul's Salvation

By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. When Christ told 'Peter to "feed my sheep," He was using a figure of speech, but, being Christ, He certainly realized, too, that plenty of those under the care of Peter and his successors were going to have more in common with sheep than a metaphor.

Nothing is said by the Ameri­ He had often noticed the can Association of University sheep around His country­ Professors about the curtailment side - all of them huddled of freedom involved in the ban­ together in case of real or ima­ gined trouble, all galloping over a hill for no reason at all as soon as one of them decided to start running, and, in general, doing anything - however stu­ pid or pointless or even danger­ ous - when­ ever 0 n e of J them would go into action on some silly impulse or other. This is why sheep need a shepherd ­ 110 keep the goofs from com­ mitting mass suicide.

'Broad-Minded' Catholics Let one or two loudmouths ealled out, "This way, or you're a square," and we're off and running with all the carefree senselessness of sheep. We use other terms for this sort of sheepishness, of course - it's keeping up with the Joneses or the times, or, negatively, "not being a square or old-fashioned."

There are a few more honest terms we don't use - like "sla­ vish conformity," and "human respect," an4 "no indivi4uality."

As a matter of fact, you might sometimes even say it's a matter of no courage.

You see examples of this everywhere in human society: In the Catholic who has to show he's "a regular guy," and not over-pious and so feels com­ pelled to outdo his acquaintances in the foulness of his mouth and the vaunted immorality of his actions.

You see it in the "broad­ minded" Catholic in public life who is pitifully eager to show that his faith has no effect on his policies - as if one could be a Catholic in private and deny it in public.

'Everybody's Doing It' You see it in parents who let their kids date too early, too much and even too exclusively,' because "everybody else is doing it."

You see it in those teen-agers who have to drink on dates, who must show off at parties by in­ . 1 troducing or at least taking part in stuff which is at least stupid and often sinful, who have to resent authority in a loud voice, who have to act as though seri­ ous study were for squares and as though the only things of im­ portance were the social life and "popularHy." The philosophy of life of the eonformist is easily summed up: "Everybody else is doing it," they reason in the case of some­ thing obviously wrong, "so it must be all right." It's as simple as that.

In Name of Freedom The first thing you discover under the surface of this cliche is that not everybody is doing it at all. It only seems like "every­ body" sometimes because those who do profess this philosophy are so convincingly. loud.

You don't hear ihe vast ma­ jority of religious _ minded Americans screaming for the right to acknowledge God pub­ licly, but you do hear the few who. deny all religion, stridently insisting that God be banished from schools and from all public life. .

ishment of morality and religion from any university, but you do hear them, in the name of "free­ dom," piously protesting the suspension of a university pro­ fessor who was teaching his stu­ dents that sexual intercourse should be permitted outside of marriage for anyone "mature enough," especially.with all the nice, efficient' contraceptives now at hand.

Satan the Master Psychologically, there is some reason for the irrational to shout: A good offense ~s the best· defense, misery loves company and all that. Put up a bold enough front, they figure, and everything will be just dandy.

Secondly, they convince them­ selves that if you get enough people doing something, that makes it all right.

Satan has always been the master of making good seem sort of silly. He conned Eve into sampling an apple she didn't really want, and then watched scornfully as Adam followed her example lest he become the world's first square - something he managed anyhow.

In one way or the other, some men and women, teen-aged male and female types, have been doing the same sort of thing ever since - afraid to refuse any­ thing that's offered, simply be­ cause it is offered and a refusal might hurt the feelings of the offerer.

Individual Thin~ So, don't be sure it's really everybody when you hear the cliche, "Everybody's doing it."

But just suppose that the whole world were actually to suddenly start doing all the wrong things, expecting you to imitate their e x amp 1 e and hooting and ridiculing you when you failed?

That still wouldn't make the slightest difference-your soul's salvation is an individual thing.

Not only that, but the popular party only seemed to win on Calvary. It's a question of whether you want a real, hidden victory or a flashy fake exter­ nal one.

Pax Romana to Hold Meeting in Capital WASHINGTON (NC) - The biennial general assembly of Pax Romana will be held July 20 to 31 at Georgetown Univer­ sity here, the second convention in the United States of the 43­ year-old international movement of Catholic students.

Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., University of Notre Dame president, will be a main speaker. Topics at seminar con­ ferences will include: problems of development and distribution of wealth; political freedom as an essential condition to devel­ opment; the secularization of life and emergence of the laity, and aspirations of Christians toward unity.

Pax Romana, founded in 1921, is composed of Catholic student organizations throughout the world. Its headquarters is in Geneva, Switzerland, and it is affiliated with the Youth De­ partment, National Catholic Welfare Conference. It has 4 membership of two million.:

of Austin said the executive dI­ rector will be Callan Graham, 49, an attorney.

"We .hold that Christianity is relevant to all the affairs of men, at all times and in all places, and that all who profess to be Christians, regardless of denomination, should do what­ ever needs to be done in every area of human affairs, toward application of Christian ideals," Bishop Reicher said.

Pontiff Stresses

Human Worth

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI celebrated low Mass in st. Peter's for several thousand employes of Italy's state-owned telephone company and stressed the Church's regard for them as individuals and human persons.

"Indeed we would like each one of you to understand that this elevation of the human in­ dividual to the sacred and in. violable dignity of a person who is endowed with- the vocation and splendor of divine father­ hood and Christian brotherhood, is precisely the mission of our religion which preserves and defends in every human being his stature of nobility and great­ ness and raises it to the higher decree of supernatural life."

The Pope said that it is only .Christianity that can preserve this concept of man in the mod­ ern world, "which produces or· ganizations in which the indi­ vidual is practically absorbed and almost amiihilated."

Technical Progress He said Christianity affected this change on such organiza­ tons by "subordinating them to the inalienable principles of re­ spect for the human person, and thus ennobles them, humanizes them and even sanctifies them."

Pope Paul told the congrega­ tion that he was bringing this to their attention "so that you will not entertain the delusion, un­ fortunately widespread in con­ temporary public opinion, that technical progress is sufficient for our life and replaces all that was once attributed to Providence, to spiritual life, and to religious faith."

Coyle Club Plans CommunionMeal

Says Braziliarls Deplore U.S. Lack of Interest

By Rt. Rev. Msgr.,J~hn S. Kennedy "Why Brazil?" This question was put to me by almost everyone whom I told of my plans to make a visit to that country, plans lately fulfilled. Or the immediate comment would be, "Oh, you're going to Rio. For the carnival, I suppose." Brazil, curiously, inevitably involve the collapse 'seems utterly remote and al­ of the entire Latin American most completely uninter­ world. Panama is but a pinprick, esting to most Americans. Cuba but a pimple, compared to , Or, if they think about it all,

it is exclusively in terms of Rio,

the former cap­

ital, with its in­

ternational rep­

utation for col­

or and gaiety,

both of which

run riot in the

weeks pre­

ceeding Ash

Wednesday. .

No, it was ~razil which I wanted to see.

And the reason was a rising conviction that its fate may well determine that of the whole hemisphere, our own country very definitely in­ eluded. For Braiil is the largest country in our American world, larger (although your American eannot . credit this) than the United States. Its population, al­ ready 80 million, is growing spectacularly. Moreover, it is potentially the richest country in the hemisphere.

In Serious Trouble But Brazil is also in serious trouble. Development is taking place in a wild-and-woolly sort of way. It is extremely uneven.

In some areas it is not discer­ nible at all; in others, the pace is break-neck.

For example, Sao Paulo, the industrial capital, is a beehive of activity. The building boom is incredible in speed and scope.

Huge quantities of money are being made and spent. There are astonishing evidences of asto­ nishing prosp~ity. But check­ by-jowl with these are appalling evidences of appalling misery.

By the thousands and the tens of thousands, people are pouring in from the hinterlands to get work in Sao Paulo. The jobs are there. But they pay poorly.

However, the city exerts a siren­ like attraction. Once they re­ spond to it, the countryfolk find themselves existing ("living" is hardly the word) in sprawling and wretched shanty towns at considerable distance from the place of their employment.

Fear Communism . , In addition, the political situ­ .-tion is unsettled. The federal iovernment is set up according to a constitutional system in many respects like that of the United States - in theory, any­ how. But it does not function in response to the needs of the country and the people in any­ thing like the way or measure that ours, for all its deficiencies, does.

The president has more powers than does our own chief execu­ tive and the present incum­ bent is a curious person whom innumerable Brazilians of all stations find mystifying and about whom they are very un­ easy.

There is definite fear of a Communist take-over, and this seems to be much more than a chimera created by reactionaries.

Brazil could go Communist; that much is unquestionable.

Just when and how such a disaster might occur, no one can say. There are all kinds of esti­ mates. But perfectly plain is the fact that an already intolerable situation is swiftly deteriorating.

Death Blow The disaster, if it happens, will affect more than Brazil. It will

the death blow which Commu­ nist control of Brazil would represent.

I discussed with Brazilians and with Americans either long resi­ dent in Brazil or thoroughly :fawiliar with the country be­ cause of frequent visits and long stays, what was wrong with the American attitude and American policy. Ignorance and indifference were repeately in­ dicated as the chief villains.

Americans in general, and the American government in a par­ ticular way, are held guilty of not knowing, not caring.

There were warm words of praise for the Peace Corps, and also for the Papal Volunteers for Latin America. But more of each is a pressing necessity, and one Unitarian spoke urgently of the importance of more Papal Vol­ unteers and especially of more notice of what they are doing.

Kennedy Death Setback The death of President Ken. nedy was commonly regarded ~lS a serious setback for Brazil.

The prevalent feeling is that he had a genuine concern for Latin America and was bent on doing something effective. I judge, too, that his being a Catholic was peculiarly significant for the Brazilians.

Of their religion, and of the functioning of the Church, I propose to say something later.

But here it will suffice to record by observation, for what it is worth, that, whatever the qual­ ity and consistency of their Ilractice, their identification ­ a.nd especially their self-identi­ fication-is Catholic. . For the first time, a fellow Catholic was President of the United. States. The colossus of the north, regarded, arid with reason,. with distrust and some­ times strong dislike, was, in their eyes, white, Anglo-Saxon, Prot­ estant.

Sympathetic Americans They knew that, in the eyes of such, they were decidedly in­ ferior as being mostly dark or of mixed blood, Latin in back­ gtound and orientation, and Catholic. And the United States had always been personified in a president who was Protestant, with innumerable Americans passi<mately insisting that this must and would always be the case.

But it is not only to the late president that Brazilians look.

It is to any sympathetic Ameri­ can. I met a farmer who had been educated in the United States, a man I would think to 0 b,~ in his thirties. He is from the backlands, but as a youth, went to live with relatives in Rio and somehow got a very minor job at our embassy - perhaps as a messenger.

Someone in the embassy took an interest in him and enabled him to get to the United States for college work. This was in agronomy.

Aid Makes Friends When he· returned to Brazil, he could easily have had a posi­ tion with the government. But he decided to go back to his own place, his own people. He would farm the acres his father had owned, and he would try to instruct the farmers thereabotlts in improved methods, more pro­ ductive and economical.

Too Many Catholic Colleges

Threatens Survival of All

Caecilians Offer Native Music

VILLANOVA (NC) - Father Edward V. Stanford, O.S.A., former president of Villanova University, told a meeting of Catholie educators here in Pennsylvania that there are getting to be too many Catholic colleges °in the United States. Citing this separate; tl:!ere would be no un­ proliferation as "one of the necessary interference with reli­ greatest threats to the sur- gion. The arrangement would vival of all Catholic colleges," make possible more readily gov_ 0

Father Stanford told delegates to a regional gathering of the National Catholic Educational Association, held at the university, that 28 Catholic colleges and 10 junior colleges have been founded in the U. S. since 1950.

Between 1960 and 1964, he said, nine senior colleges and seven junior colleges we r e founded, with four more juniQr colleges due to open in 1965.

This does not include colleges specifically for the education of priests and Religious.

"This is a big country and our Catholic population is growing," said Father Stanford, but he contended that more thought· should be given to cooperation with existing institutions rather than establishing new and separate colleges.

Legal Status Father Stanford, who is a con. sultant to the Association of American Colleges, pointed to many rities where Catholic colleges are beginning to join hands with each other and with non­ Catholic institutions in coopera­ tive programs.

Father Stanford also expressed concern over the legal status of Catholic colleges and universi­ ties. He suggested that they be incorporated independently of a diocese, religious order or church.

The advantages of such a change, he said, are that they "would keep Church and State

Irish Bishops Plan Liturgy Changes DUBLIN (NC) - Archbishop J"ohn C. McQuaid,o C.S.Sp., of Dublin has appoirited a commis­ sion to consider ways of imple­ menting liturgical changes set forth by the Second Vatican Council.

The Irish Primate noted in his Lenten pastoral letter that the Mass contains both change­ able and unchangeable elements, and that only the "unthinking" contend that all is set for change.

"The primary interest of the Church in such cases can never be the desire for change," he said. "That attitude befits some intemperate enthusiasts who seem to be concerned with vest­ ments and ceremonies or are haunted by the love of the an­ tique. Neither is the aim of the Church in any sense explained by what somehave implied as the awakening from the leth­ argy or formalistic sleep." _ Only that will be changed, he­ said, which will allow the litur­ gy to achieve its single aim: personal transfonnation before death into the- image 0 Christ.

Prelate Agrees Furthermore, he said, it would defend against attacks on church-related schools by per­ sons who make a shibboleth of the "separation of Church and State."

Father Stanford's remarks· on cooperation were echoed by Archbishop John J. Krol of Philadelphia who said the Church "cannot afford the lux­ ury of needless duplication and wasteful competition."

"It would be a strange irony, and even a scandal, if religious community differences should prevent Catholic colleges, which share the precious committment to Truth Incarnate, from real­ izing the cooperation which see­ ular colleges have been able to secure," he said.

"Personal tragedies, a crisis in life and disappointments exist, too, under socialism," and these can lead an individual to turn to religion for comfort, wrote the question-and-answer col­ umnist of the official pubillca­ tion of the Ostrava regional Communist party committee.

The question under discussion was ''Why do some young people believe in God?" The standard communist an­ swer to this is that it is a carry­ over of the backward days un­ der capitalism, not yet corrected.

But the Czechoslovak writer, Jaroslav Krejci of the .faculty of the Ostrava Education Institute, asserted that this is not the full explanation.

Frequently, he wrote, the practice of <reducing questions of the meaning of life and hu­ man happiness to the material things of the world "leads peo­ ple not to real but to one-sided 'happiness' which is not far from illusion."

Often, he continued, a high standard of living produces "psychical poverty and indiffer­ ence" and "even young people look to religious philosophy for the meaning and mystery of life."

Krejci's conclusion to his readers was an appeai to them to rely on "planning and 8Cien­ tific direction and the progress of science in general." This will have the result, he stated, of "definitely getting rid of the enormous burden of religious feelings."

Christians Council Result Sisters of St. Joseph BOSTON (NC) - The tide of' relationship between Rom a n Catholics and other Christiana has turned as a result of the Second Vatican Council, in the opinion of a Protestant leader who was an offica! observer at the two sessions.

Rev. Dr. Douglas Horton, for­ mer dean of the Harvard Uni­ versity Divinity Schools says '"the day of hostility or, what is worse, disregard of one another, is passing and the dawn of an attempt at mutual understand­ ing is at hand.

Horton was an official repre. sentative of the International Congregational Council at the council.

He described the constitution on the liturgy as 01. "very great importance." ''It not only permits the use 01. the language 01. the people,

was, in which there is participa­ tion by religious institutions."

Creech said most agencies have now replied. He said the information will be compiled and reviewed by members of the subcommittee, 'who will then make the decision on what to do next.
