Boston Archbish'op Named Pastor. of St. Susanna As a student priest preparing for his doctorate in Theology, Humberto Cardinal Medeiros often celebrated Mass in the Catacombs of Rome (see page 4).

Somehow the willing sacrifice of martyrs gave inspiration and mearuing to the daily crosses of a young priest, and to the normal, realistic Christian living of the day. .

Now, twenty years later, he is the Papal appointed pastor of a Roman church linked in antiquity with the martyrdom of a young dedicated Christian woman and fam!.ily.

Today, the newly appointed Cardinal, in the midst of jubilant Fall RJiverites, Bostonians and Americans from every part of the country, took possession of St. Susanna, American Parish Church in Rome.

The church, administered .by the American Paulists and near

the great tourist hotels of the Eternal City, a stone's throw from the AmeI1ican Embassy, has gradually taken on an increasingly American atmosphere over the years.

The past titular head of the church was .Cardinal Medeiros' predecessor in Boston, Richard Cardinal Cushing, who had been given the Church by Pope John XXIII.

During the reign of Pope St. Caius (283-296), the Church and the Roman government were not on the best of terms. Persecution was part of normal Christian life.

The Pope's brother and family lived in a particularly !lich urban sector of Rome. The neighborhood was spotted with exclusive· mansions.

The niece of Pope St. Caius, Susanna, had dedicated herself to the service of the Church bY Turn to Page Five

Pope Paul Charts Changes In New Electoral College VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul, in raising the number of cardinals to an all-time high of 145, has indicated he may broaden the electoral body of future papal elections to include Eastern-rite patriarchs and elect- . ed representatives of the world's bishops.

At the same time he decreed that the number of card,inals entitled to take part ·in a papal election may not exceed 120.

With the creation of 30 new cardinals and the revelation of a cardinal he created four years ago without publicly naming him, the number of cardinals below the age-limit of 80 stands at 117.

and tact, the Pope expressed the "hope" that future Popes would "desire to preserve this carefully considered rule" of 120 as the maximum number of cardinal electors. Each future Pope is free to decree what he sees fit about the election of his successor.

Addressing cardinals attending the March 5 private consistory 'at which he named the new cardinals, the Pope also clarified his concept of the nature and function of the college of cardinals.

By Church tradition· and Church law, the cardinals are the Pope's "principal counsellors and collaborators, supporting him in his apostolic office of goverllling the Church," the Pope said. .., "The cardinals thus constitute as it were a senate to assist the successor of Peter, whom Christ' willed to be the 'perpetual and visible principIe and foundation of the unity of faith and of communion'" the Pope continued, • quoting -the Second Vatican Council.

Prelates Seek Help This Sunday For American Negro, Indian The Cardinal Archbishops of Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia issued an urgent appeal in behalf of the Negro and Indian Missions of the United States. Sunday, March 11, the First Sunday of Lent, a special collection will be taken up in the parishes and chapels of the Diocese of Fall River to answer the appeal.

At present, the Church's deep concern for the spiritual welfare of Negro and IndJian is most evident from the fact that twice as many priests now serve -them in proportion to their numbers as serve white Catholics.

The increased ministry has proved fruitful. The number of Ca~holic Negroes, presently 900,-

000 has increased 50 per cent.

The 140,000 Indians show an increase of 20 per cent. Year after year one out of eight or nine converts has been Negro or IndJian.

Lawrence Cardinal Shehan, John Cardinal Krol and Terence Cardinal Cooke, in pleading for next Sunday's collection and lenten sacrifice, mentioned that the proceeds of the collec1:lion are used exclusively for' religious 'and missionary work in the areas where such help is indispensable.

"It is both a duty and a privilege for all Catholics to share in this apostolic work by their prayers and their contributions to share in this apostolic work by their prayers and their contributions to the annual collection.

But, it added, "This challenge cannot be met by opposing efforts of the Christian community to' advance its religious ideals, rnstead, the Jewish community should respond with positive measures to confront American Jewry . , . with the spiritual ideals and values of the Jewish people."

The SCA's statement came k dinating 'agency for thE' rabbinic ilna congregational organizations of the three, branches of American Judaism - CO!1!;ervative, Orthodox and Reform, The council's formal policy statement on Key 73 was drafted by its committee on interrel.igious affairs, headed by Rabbi Walter Wurzburger of Far RockaWilY, N, Y. Th8 SCA's statement came in ,the wake of numerous attacks on Key 73 by leaders in the Jewish community. Over 100 Protestant denominations and church groups and about 40 Catholic dioceses in the United States are rarticipating in the - year-long evangelistic effort.

Highest Priority "The Jewish community is justifiably apprehensive over Key 73, the massive campaign to convert Americans to Christlanity," 1he SCA said. "There is reason to fear that marginal Jews who possess only a tenuous bond to t.heir people and religious heritage may be lured away from the Jewish community and embrace Christianity in their quest for spiritual fulfillmen t."

Professor Byrn Plans to Resume Pro-Life Battle NEW YORK (NC)-Fordham University's law professor Robert M. Byrn does not believe that his efforts to defeat New York's abortion law were in vain.

The 40-year old bachelor had gained the legal right to represent the unborn fetuses of women who were seeking abortions in New York municipal hospitals.

Byrn's objective was to prove that under both the New York Consbitution and the U. S. Constitution unborn children are persons with legal rights. While he battled his case he became the target of abusive phone calls. He found it wise to give his address only as New York City.

Byrn carried his battle all the way to the Supreme Court. But his chances of success grew dim when the high court ruled Jan. 22 that Texas and Georgia abortion laws were unconstitutional.

Lives in Jeopardy Then on Monday, Feb. 26, the Supreme Court dealt the death blow to Byrn"s case by dismissing his appeal.

But Byrn has vowed not to give up his fight to protect the rights not only of the unborn, but of the infirm" the, mentally deficient and the elderly. He feels' the abortion I'uling now puts their life 'in jeopardy.

In an interview with NC News Service, the Fordham law professor said the course "is unequivocal and clear" with regard to a nationwide movement to .protect human life.

"We need a consbitutional amendment that mandates protection of human life regardless of age, imperfection or condition of unwantedness. This would take care of the human being at every stage of life."

Public Indignation Byrn disagreed with the contention of some that ge'tting a constitutJional amendment may take decades. He cited the public indignation of New York state residents who prevailed upon the state legislature to turn back the most permissive abortion law in the United States. The legislature voted to repeal the law, but Gov. Nelson Rockefeller vetoed their repeal.

But the important thing to remember, says Byrn, is that "the people rose up against the abortion law." He says that on a national level pro-l'ife groups can do the same to the Supreme Court's decision aga'inst the Texas and Georgia abortion laws.

"It is just going to be a matter of marshalling ,this feeling," he said. "And I don't think it is going to take decades." But he added that "those who speak in pro-life phrases are going to have to put their political musde where their mouth is."

In h'is opinion, ,Linse said tax Eugene W. Dinse said that tax credits have less support in the Senate, but, he said that he saw some "good omens" here. Those omens ,include statements of support from President Nixon and Sen. Hugh Scott (R.-Pa.), the Senate minority leader, Linse told the Minnesota CEF convention here.

Federal tax credit efforts will center' on H.R. 49-a measure sponsored by Rep. J'ames Burke (D-Mass.) which, would provide an 'income tax credit of up to $200 per student in nonpublic elementary and secondary schools . A bill similar to the BUllke proposal received clearance from the influential House Ways and Means Committee just prior t.o the adjournment of Congress last fall.

Linse, outHl1'ing federal aid proposed ,to some 300 CSF members, said that credit supports have 230 'sure votes in the House at this time.

However, the fate of tax credits is less certain in the Senate, according to Linse, chairman of the social sciences division at Concordia College, a Lutheran school here.

Linse said tax credit supporters have private assurance of support from Sen. Russell Long (D-La.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which would rev!ew tax credit. legislation, as well as the support of the pre~ident and Sen. Scott.

BELFAST (NC) - A "highway code" that will probably mean stricter search procedures on cars passing through the heavily guarded peace Hne separating Catholic and Protestant areas here is the latest suggestion on how to cut down the growing numbers of sectarian murders.

The suggestion came from the Social Democratic and Labor Party (SDLP), which represents a majority of Northern Ireland's 500,OOO-strong Catholic minority.

SDLP leaders Gerry Fitt and Paddy Devlin, both of Belfast, met army and police officers here Feb. 19 to try and improve security in the rigidly separated sectarian ghettoes here. The meeting was the direct result of the murder of two Catholic postmen Feb. 18,.

After the meeting Fitt and Devlin said they had been assured that security precautions along the peace line separating Catholic 'and Protestant districts will be substantially' strengthened.

The SDLP leaders were reluctant to give details of the new, tighter, precautions.

According to the SDLP representatives, the army and police showed keen interest in their "highway code" proposal. A high percentage of sectarian murder victims here have been killed by shots from passing cars. The SDLP suggested that people in the vulnerable areas observe simple, common sense rules to help them recognize and avoid the murderers' cars.

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIG,GINS

ioint effort to pull the rug out from under theUFWU by means of restrictive fe~eral legislation will not succeed. For my own part, I would be willing to wager that Chavez' confidence iTl this regard will prove t6 have been well founded.

The Farm Bureau Federation and the Teamsters are an odd couple if I ever saw one, and I doubt that they really have as much in common on the issue of farm labor legislation as they presently think (or would like to pretend) that they have. The Teamsters claim that they are. only interested in bringing farm workers under the coverage of the Talft-Hartley Act. This in itself would be enough, of course, to cripple the UFWU, for it would deprive the organization of the use of the secondary boycott.

In my judgment, however, the Teamsters are kidding themselves if they think that when the chips are down, the Farm Bureau Federation will be wHling to settle ,for- Taft-Hartley coverage-period. To the contrary, as previously noted in this ser.ies, the Farm Bureau Federation, at some point in the legislative process, will very probably raise the ante and will insistently demand -among other restrictive mea\ sures-that strikes at harvest time be prohibited or, in any event, severely limited by law.

Eccentric Alliance At that point in time the Teamsters and the Farm Bureau Federation are likely.to start scratching 'at one another, and their eccentric alliance - a' marriage of convenience which never made any sense to begin with - will probably go on the rocks. All of this is posited, of course, on the assumption~no, the conviction -that the Teamsters are still in touch with reality and that, in the final analysis, they are Tlot about to cut off their own trade union nose to spite their faceor to undercut Chavez' unionor, for that matter, even to accommodate the Administration, whose credentials in this arEla, it'must be said very bluntly, are absolutely nil.

The likelihood that the Teamsters and the Farm Bureau Federation will eventually have a rather unromantic falling-out is not the only reason, however, for thin>kin~ that the anti-UFWU

of farm labor legislation, including the kind that the Teamsters are promoting, is coming through loud and clear - as might have been antidpated-from individuals and organizations which, if such a thing be possible, are even more conservative and more antilabor than the Farm Bureau Federation itself.

Right to Organize The point of view of these individuals and organizations is very simple-or, bett~r still, simplistic. Some of thern argue that since the organi~ation of farm workers into any': kind of union, including the Teamsters, would be disastrous it follows that legislation which recognizes the right of farm worrkers to organize or in any way guarantees the f'ree exercise of this right is to be avoided at all costs. Oth~rs argue that while farm workers have a right to organ.ize, any kind of legi-slation--<induding the Taft-Hartley Act-which sancHans the union shop is unconstitutional, un.-American, or what have you and, aga'in, is to be avoided Like ,the plague. " Sylvester Petro, professor of law at New York University, is a veteran spokesman for the first of these two po'ints of view. In a 25-page ar,tide, "Agriculture and Labor Policy" pubJi.shed ,in the January issue of the Labor' Law Journal, Professor Pedro lays his路 doctrinaire anti-unionism -~r.ight on the line with the no ifs,Iands, .or buts. ' "Subjecting agriculture to ...

TaH-Hartley ... would ... more than likely mean, in a rel,atively short time, about as much unio"nization as prevails in American factor.ies." P.resumably Petro can't think of anything worse ,than that. "It is hard to believe," he says 'in the final paragraph of his ar,1Jic1e,-' "that any informed person in his right mind would want to extend such Jegislation, and such unioniization, to agricul,ture."

Opposes Union Shop James Kilpatrick, a nationally syndicated columnist, ,is an irrepressiJjJe spoll:esman for the second point of view referred to above. Kilpatrick, .yvho looks down his nose at Chavez and the Farm Wmkers Union has peqdled more than his share of misinformation about the fa~m labor problem, would probably agree ,that the farm workers have a .right to organize. He would also' .agree, I assume, that they should be protected in the free exerci!se of this right if they are stupid enough to think tha,t jo,ining either the Farm Workers Union or any other labor organization would be in their best interest.

On the other hand, he is absolutely opposed to the union shop, and,for this ,reason, he too thinks that the leaders 'of the Farm Bureau Federation must be out of their min:ls to be :advo-

Because of her Fa'ith and vow, Susanna refused. A new chapter in the persecutJions of Diodetian was written. Her martyrdom, together with her father who sustained his daughter, gave a certain aura to the house. Gradually it took on the appearance of a shrine, a church, a basilica.

Pope St. Caius, Susanna's uncle, built an oratory in the mansion to mark the spot of the martyrs' burial site.

Pope Seagius I, a Syrian, who ruled the Church from 687 to 701, and who had been himself a'ppointed a titular pastor of St. Susanna, enriched the church with many gifts.

Pope Adrian I (772-795) had the roof built on what was then a basilica of major proportions.

Today, only the nave of the ori· ginal church remains and is the Church of St. Susanna as we know it.

Pope Leo III (795-816) restored the basilica and placed

therein the Qody of St. Felicity, Martyr.

It was nearly seven hundred years later before we again hear of St. Susanna. Carlo Maderna, at the bidding of Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590) rebuilt the church.

Something unheard of was undertaken. The architect attempted to depart from the past and add "colorism" to his columns. The ceiling was sculp-

The federation also called on Church leaders not to delay in making official statements for the guidance of the laity on importaht public issues.

The counter-reformation gave style to the sides of the church with lit~ square cold rows of columns. A monumental series of paintings by Baldassare Croce depicts the life and death of the biblical Susanna.

Lenten Site In the midst of so many historic monuments and saintly shrines, Romans and tourists have some difficulty' choosing where to worship or exercise their devotions.

Custom has provided that the faithful gather at a different church each day of Lent, and there perforrp works of penance and prayer. .

It is at St. Susanna that the faithful gather on the Saturday following the Third Sunday of Lent this year, March 31.

Continued from Page One ds expressed in ancient ecclesiastical documents."

Fr,ighten'ing During the first eleven months 'of last year 94 'policemen were killed in the line of duty throughout the nation.

Frightening acounts, are coming out of several of the large cities of the nation on the ambush and wounding and killing of policemen.

It is to be hoped that this is not some nation-wide plan of a' wildly militant organization bent on throwing the country into a nightmare of fear., Policemen, after all, are men trying, for the most part, to do a creditable job of keeping this country a nation of laws. There is no other' way for many people to live in peace and harmony together than the recognition that there must be ground rules and - human nature being what it" is - representatives of and from the community to enforce these.

The policeman must be the very epitome of judgement and balance and justice. Of course, there have been instances of over-reaction and poor judgement and impatience. And these instances are to be deplored. But the vast numbers of the nation's police are trying to do a good job. And the policeman stands at the very frontier of civilization, the' very line of demarcation between an ordered society and absolute chaos. Remove him, weaken his position, tear him down - and there remains only' anarchy.

A great fear is that the attack on police will result in a backlash, in the rising up of the silent majority or the militant Fight, and then there will be a reaction that can be truly fearsome. , Many people are already in the mood to give up ~ome of'their civil rights in order to insure peace and the freedom to walk city streets at night without fear.

Others are talking a harsh· language in dealing' with those who would kill from ambush, who' would terrorize with the police as the special t~rget of their wrath.

Violence leads to violence and terror to repression. This is not the road to civilized society.

Those who prey on society from ambush must be brought to civilized _.. ,not vigilante -- justice. And the far right must be discouraged from its repressive reaction.

. Historic High Whereas this seemed to construe the college of cardinals in terms of the Pope's p!imacy, that is of his power to govern the Church alone, he contiI;lUed in a way that seemed to construe the college of cardinals in terms of episcopal collegiality, that is of the power of the" world's bishops to govern the Church jointly with the Pope.

He said: "Since the composition of the Ohurch has been in- . creased and enlarged, it is fitting that ·the college of cardinals should be strengthened so as to lend dignity and assistance not only to the entire college of bishops but also to our own person."

He then proceeded to speak 'of "increasing the number of members of the college to a to.tal never before reached!' In fact the present 145-member college of cardinals is a historic high.

of penance must be meaningful, the Mass must be meaningful, the rel~ti(}nships among people must be meaningful. For the first few times the expression was attractive and has a significant ring to it. But on closer ex~mination the question must be asked-is it really saying anything new?

The word "meaningful" means sincere, purposeful. And from this two conclusions can be deducted. , The first is that when we are dealing with supernatural realities, such as the sacraments, it is faith that gives essential meaning to what is done. Language, ceremonial, gestures-all these are and should be signifieant. But the inner core of the matter is that the person meets Christ in this act.

Either he believes that or he c;loes not. This is the basis of "meaningfulness." second is that the Church has always insisted that its children know what they are doing. Habit, rote, routine have always been the enemies of true spirituality and religion. So today's admonitions are repeating yesterday'sknow what you are doing and ~ean what you are' doing in this business of salvation.

Such an experience oan be a tremendous help in ecumenical matters, said Dr. Brown, a minister for 20 years, in an interview with the Catholic Star-Herald of Camden, N. J~ "Priests anG! ministers need t:> be able to r~late to each other effectively, and this cannot happen if they ~re isolated during their theological eQucation."

Dr. Brown, I who came to the Margate Community Church six years ago, said his stay at St. Bernard's "kind of came abou'; accidentally! Although he orig· inally intended to stay 'at the Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, Dr. Brown ended up at St. Bernard's ~ecause there was more r-oom at the Catholic facility.

I "Father J-oseph Brennan, the rector at St. Bernard's, was agreeable to the idea," Dr. Brown said. :'In fact, all the . priests that I met there were exfremedly friendly and hospitable and seemed delighted at my being there with' them." .

"There was no content problem," said' Dr. Brown. "These courses c-ould have been taught anY'Y here ."

The minister said he sat in on a course on the parables of Jesus at St. Bernard:'s, and studied extensively the life of St. Francis-"something I had always wanted to do," he related.

Dr. Brown expressed surprise that he. f9und such a large amount of material 011 Martin Luther,' the Reformation. leader, in St. Bernard's library and bookstore. He also was impressed by the Catholic seminaria'ns' ability to regard Luther "in a more ecumenical spir:it."

"The seminarians understood church history and were stronger in' scriptural studies than I had expected," he said. "I found a genuine regret concerning the intolerance in the past between Catholic and Protestant. These doors and windows were opened, of course, by Pope John."

Continuing Edu(:ation The ecumenical spirit. at St. Bernard's spawned another regret', Dr. Brown said.

"I think a measure of the response that I evoked call be determined by the fact that since my return to Margate I have received a number of communications saying, 'You are velY much missed,''' he stated.

Besides promoting ecumensim, Dr. Brown's stay at St Bernard's convinced him of the Med for the need for theconti:nuing education of ministers aft.er ordination.

"To perform properly as a pastoral minister or priest, this study must be continued, at regular intervals, updating knowledge on pastoral problems and • biblical studies," he said. "l'here must be cont:inual spiritual growth, or a clergyman can' not really senre his parish or congregation."

, The Pope noted that no Eastern-rite patriarchs were among the new cardinals. , "This is so because in fact we have wished to satisfy a desire expressed by some of them," he explained. (One Eastern-rite pa-. triarch who expresse~ himseif publJcly on this que~tion was the late Cardinal Maximos IV Saigh, the Melkite-rite patriarch. He complained that cardi. nals were given more powers in-., governing the Church than patriarchs, who excel cardinals in historic origin and historic powers. He maintained that the dignity of patriarch exceeded that of cardinal and indicated there was a certain anomaly in "raising" a patriarch to the rank of cardinal, as he himself had been raised.)

The Pope asked whether pa· triarchs might not also ta,ke part in the election of a Pope. But he did not answer the question.

Another question he raised but carefully avoided answering dealt with bringing elected bishops into the electoral college. He .indicated it might even be "necessary" to ask this question.

He indicated his own choice for the method of choosing such bishop electors: the council of the general secretariat of the World synod of bishops. That council is in part elected and in part nominated. The Pope names three members and the synod, which is itself selected by the world's hierarchies, elects 12.

Asks Churchmen To Act Together Against Abortion PITTSBURGH (NC) - A plea for churchmen to act together to reverse the trend to legalized abortion was made here by BishopWilliam G. Connare of Greensburg, Pa., to the governing board of the N~tional Council of Churches (NCC).

He addressed the NCC as council president of Christian Associates of Southwest Pennsylvania (CASP).

The bishop also said: "We share NCC's emphatically ex-' pressed concern about cutbacl{s in government spending for programs serving the needs of people. People, and particularly poor people, must never become pawns in the business of budget balancing."

The bishop spoke at the opening session of the NCC board's meeting here.

He praised the ecumenism of CASP, whose I f million members 'include the Catholic dioceses of Pittsburgh, Greensburg and Munhall, a Byzantine-r,ite diocese.

View With Horror "Through a variety of projects we have gained experience in ecumenism in the practical order," Bishop Connare said.

But, he added, "much work re'mains to be done here and throughout America. This has been emphasized in the divisions w,hich have surfaced in the light of the recent 'and most unfortunate decisions of the Supreme Court on abortion."

The bishop said both Catholics and many non-Catholics "view these decisions with horror."

"We wonder what we can do together to reverse this trend, which can do nothing but brutalize the sense of values dn our fair land," he said.

He caUed on people to "rally . through agencies like yours and ours" to fight the abortion trend, and to campa,ign 'for the needs of the poor and underprivileged.

New Bedford YMCA Offers 'Swimmership' Says Religious .

Lead in Renewal To Youngsters at St. Mary's Home

BY ROBERT LEIGH Saturdays have taken on a new meaning for 40 boys and girls who live at St. Mary's Home on Kempton Street in New Bedford.

Because each Saturday, they're driven to the brand new YMCA building in the downtown area to play and swim for three hours.

It began late last year when Y officials decided to do something for the Home children, whose ages range from five to 12.

'Swimmerships' Backed by a number of Y members who picked up the bill, the association offered "Swimmerships" to the Sisters of St. Francis who staff the residential home.

The proposal was simple. If the Sisters would see to transportation and necessary clothing, 'the children would be, admitted to the Y to swim in its Olympicsize pool and play in its gymnasium.

The program offered the youngsters not only a chance to join the Y, but to meet other, children and expand their circle of friends.

According to Sister James Maureen, O.S.F., spokesman for Sister Marie Dennis, O.S.F., who supervises the home, the children at St. Mary's "love it" at the local Y.

Population

LONDON (NC)-The officially estimated Catholic population of England and Wales in 1972 was 4,125,78Q-nearly 100,000 more than the previous available figure, tha't of 1969. England and Wales have a total population of about 50 million. The Catholic population figure is based on estimates from ,parish priests throughout the country.' Most people, however, consider the official figures as being conservative.

And, Sister Maureen added, the other sisters at the home are planning on joining the children for a dip in the pool this spring.

She wasn't too sure about participating in the rough and tumble of the gymnasium, but the pool, she thought, looked like a good bet on a warm spring or summer day.

'St. Mary's provides the children with the necessary clothing for Y activities. At 11:15 each Saturday, the children are fed and then pile into the home's station wagon for the 10-minute trip to the Y. One-to-One Until 2:30, they have the run of the place and, if they desire, a chance to talk with staff people at the Y who have done all in their power to see to it that each

The state's governor, Philip 'Noel, has said that if the House rejects the measure, he w.j]] have ,his own bill submitted to the legislature conforming the state's abortion law to U. S. Supreme Court guidelines.

Before the House was to consider the Senate legislation, the state Supreme Court was to render an advisory opinion on ,its constitutionality. The court had declared the Rhode Island abortion law unconstitutional shortly after the Supreme Court issued its abortion ruling Jan. 22.

Some 60 rural families work on committees of the Agricultural Cooperative of South Florida which is planning the project.

Another example of the community spirit of the farm families came at ,the first annual Desfile de Reinas (March of

Share Joy

By MARY CARSON

Do you remember discussions on why it was wrong to eat a scrambled egg ... but okay to make an eggnog out of lit. Th~t always raised the question: were you obeying the letter or the spirit of the law?

How much of the "spirit" of Lent did we really observe? Did we really fast in ·remembrance of Christ's fast? Did we consoiously observe the Lenten regulations in preparation for the Resurre::tion?

Or were we just counting the days 'ttil it was over?

I'm afraid that I simply went through all-consuming thoughts about "non-consuming."

Positive Acts Today, instead of fasting, we are told to practice chanity ... each day ... perform some positive act of kindness that we wouldn"t ordinarily do ... in imitatJion of Christ's love for us.

Looking back over the last few years, I'm afraid I've missed the boat.

Once in a while I remembered; once in a while I really felt I was fulf'illing my obligation. But most of the time, I didn't.

So this Lent, I'm trying something different.

I'm sure you know people who are always gloomy. No m~ter what happens, they see the bleak side.

They seem unable to enjoy anything. If they eat a good meal, they worry about indigestion. ' If it rains they complain about the weather, but when the sun

Condem ns Widespread Abortion in Brazil PORTO ALEGRE (NC)-Cardinal Vicente Scherer of Porto Alegre said he sees little difference between widespread abortions here and the Nazi extermination' camps in wartime Germany.

In a radio address to the two million Catholics in the archdiocese, the prelate condemned the easy a,cceptance "of good number of government leaders, physicians and women in eliminating human lives through abortion."

"This is a flagrant crisis of Christian civilization," Cardinal Scherer said.

1 feel that part of the message of the Resurrection is Christ's sharing the joy of His Love. If I can share that joy with others, then I'm spread'ing Christ's love.

Our whole personality is affected' by the general trend of our thoughts.

If I strive to think optimistic, good, pOSlitive thoughts most of the time, -it's got to crow<l out negativism. If 'I fill myself with a joyi'l1 living, lit'S got to spread to those around me.

I'm not talking about an unrealistic, Pollyanna attitude. Gertain'ly there are problems, difficulties, even tragec1ies that must be faced. But they also must be treated with practical judgment.

And it does little good in curing those problems to brood about them, to dwell on them till they become .an obsession.

This Lent, I'm going to try to fill my life with Christ's Joy. I will try each.day to bring a smile to the face of some gloomy person. By Easter, maybe I will realize the happiness of the ResurrecHon. And what have 1 got to lose?· Even if it doesn't provide a spirdtual renewal, it should make 'life more pleasant for those around me!

First Married Deacon Ordained in Bolivia LA PAZ (NC) - Auxiliary Bishop Adhemar Esquivel of La Paz ordained the first married deacon in this nation of 4.2 million Catholics.

Alejandro Mamani, a 40-yearold Aymara Indian, has been engaged in catechetical work .among his people for 10 year~.

For two years he was given special trajning at the deacons' school run by the bishop at Laja, 22 miles from here. Others among the school's 72 students are to be ordained soon.

The new deacon is married to Salome Antonio,' also an Aymara, and has a son, Macario. He was ordained at his home town of Hilata. The Hilata community elected him to be traine:l as a deacon.

The Bolivian bishops started the diaconate program in hope of narrowing the ratio of the nation's 860 priests to its Catholic poplation. The ratio is now one priest per 4,900 baptized persons, many of whom live in remote areas.

Supreme Court Abortion Decision Incompatible With Chrfstian Principles SAN JUAN (NC) - A wellknown Catholic layman ha<> asked Cardinal Luis Aponte Martinez to inform Pope Paul VI of the "sad situation" in Puerto Rico as a result or'the U. S. Supreme Court' abortion ruling.

Jose Luis Feliu Pesquera, an attorney and member of the Puerto Rican Independentist Party, noted the abortion ruling "threatens to invalidate local legislation banning abortion" because Puerto Rico is a U. S. commonwealth subject to almost all federal laws.

'Th'i!'1 decision is totally incompatible with the Christian principies, the criteria of the medical association of Puerto Rico and especially the Catholic Church, which in the Second Vatican Council banned the practice of abortion as a 'nefarious crime,' " the association members said.

Catholic Schools Week Planned For Mar. 25-31 WASHINGTON (NC)~Catho­ lies across the country will be asked to "choose Catholic schools" during the first national Catholic SchoolB Week, March 25-31.

The national observance is sponsored by the National Cath, oHc Educational As:;ociation (NCEA) and the U. S; Catholic Conference (USCC).

"We hope to increase the awareness of the members of the Church community and of the general public 'as to the breadth and magnitude of the job being done by Catholic schools," said Bishop William D. Borders of Orlando; Fla., chaimtan of the USCC's education committee.

Catholic Schools Weelc is the ,first national observance aimed at both publicizing' Catholic schools through school programs, the pulpit, other church activities and the diocesan, and local news media.

Goals, Objectives Dr. Edward' R. D'Alessio, director of the USCC elementary and secondary education division, told NC News that in m~ny ways the idea for a Catholic Schools Week flowed from the U. S. bishops' 1972 Pastoral letter, "To Teach As Jesus Did." "Specific steps can and. should be taken now by concerned parents,pastors, educators and others to ensure the continuance and improvement of Catholic schools," the 'letter said. '''These will indude such things as stating clearly and compellinglythe distinctive goals and objectives of the Catholic schools."

"This ,is also a response to a felt need on the local level," D'Alessio said. "The focus is on local effort. The national office here is just acting a a 'facilitator', to help direct the, energiE's and enthusiasm for Catholic schools that is already there on the local level."

Resource Booklet To help dioceses and sehools plan their observances, the education d'ivision has sent a resource booklet to the country's Catholic school superintendents.

The booklet' contains sample programs and publicity materials from recent diocesan observances promoting Catholic schools. The examples range from last year's "Choose Catholic Schools" program, in the archdiocese of 'Chicago, one of the largest school systems in the country, to a highly successful spring registration program in the small diocese of Ogdensburg, N.Y. The, idea for a Catholic Schools Week came from a • meeting of USCC and NCEA officials in January. According to Dr. D'Alessio, ·there was a con~ensus at the meeting that the first national effort should 'be made this spring in spite of the relatively short notice for a large-scale program.

m, BACKER OF CIVIL RIGHTS: Foe of Abortion, an early backer of ciVil rights, Cardinal Patrick O'Boyle visited Resurrection City in Washington when the poverty protest group arrived in 1968. At a news conference in 1969, the cardinal spoke out against an abortion on demand proposal for the District of Colun::bia. NC hoto.

J~rchbishop of Washil1lgton Retirtes C:ardinal O/Boyle Leqding Foe of Anti·Semil~i!;m WASHINGTON (NC) - Pope Paul VI has accepted for reasons of age, the resignation of Cardinal Patrick A. O'Boyle, 76, first archbishop of Washington, it· was announced here.

The announcement was made

by Msgr. FI:'ancesco De NiHis, charge d'affaires of the Vatican's apostoHc delegation in the United States. Msgr. De Nittis said that Cardinal O'Boyle wdll continue to act as <!-postolic administrator of Washington until Most Rev. William W. Baum'is installed.

Son of Anglican Vicar OrdOl,ined MELBOURNE (NC)-An Anglican vicar's son was among the five men ordained to the priesthood in St. Patrick's Cathedral here by Cardinal Lawrence Shehan of Ba1timore, papal legate to the 40th International Eucharistic Congress.

The father, the Rev. Leslie Llewellyn Elliott of 5t. Agnes' Church of England parish in Glenhuntly, looked on as his son, Peter, 29, was ordained by. the cardinal. Also attending the ordination was the vicar's wife and another son, Paul, 23.

Father Elliott, who received most of his seminary ,training at St. Benet's Hall, Oxford University, England, told reporters that it "would he indiscreet to give my reasons for changing churches. But there is a new openness about this sort of thing these days. I still have a lot of affection for the, Anglican Church."

His father was almost in tears as he spoke of the ordination of his son as a Catholic priest. "The whole family are very happy about Peter," he said.

"I was not shocked when he told me he would enter the Roman Catholic Church. It was his decision to make. The two churches have been converging towards ecumenical understanding more and more in recent year~." \

Hal was first made a separate archdiocese in January, 1948.

When he, reached the age of 75 in July, 1971, he submitted his resignation to Pope Paul VI in aocordance with a 1966 Vatican directive requesting L1at , bishops submit their resignations at the age of 75. Such resrlgnations are not official until they are accepted by the Pope.

The cardinal has long been recognized as a leader ,in social justice, race relations and ecumenism. He has also been a staunch proponent of Catholic schools, and in recent ye/!-rs has spoken ()ut often and strongly against abortion.

When he c,elebrated the 25th anniversary of his consecration as a 'bishop in January, Pope Paul VI praised him .for his social action ,programs such as aid to children and the elderly, and for his "Very sharp watchfulness over the integrity of the faith and the moral law."

The son of ·an Irish immigra.,t steel worker, Cardinal O'Boyle was ordained a priest on May 21, 1921. From 1933 to 1936 he was assistant director of the child care department for Catholic Charities in the New York archdiocese. He served as executive director of the Immaculate Virgin Missiop Home for Dependent Children on Staten Island from 1936 to 1943.

In 1943 he was named exec-

utive director of War ReHef Services at the former National Catholic Welfar,e Conference~ Whdle in that post he had charge of sending over $100 million worth of relief supplies to war victims around the world.

He returned to the New York archdjocesein 1947 to serve as its executive director for Catholic Charities 'and as consultor to Cardinal Francis Spellman.

On Nov. 27, 1£147,. he was named first arch~iS'hop of Washjngto~, and he was. consecrated on Jan. 14 and installed Jan. 21, 1948. .

The Washington a,rchbishop was made a cardinal June 26, 1967.

During the Second Vatican Council he was in' the forefront of the drive to ,repudiate antiSemitism and he served on the council's tommission for semlinaries, studies and Catholic schools.

In 1968 Cardinal O'Boyle became the .focus of a major controversyover Humanae Vitae, the papal encyclical banning artificial contraception.. About 50 pIliests in the archdiocese initially stated their dissent from the encycHcal, and the cardinal lifted from some of them the faculties of preaching or oJ hearing confessions. The conWct was finally resolved in Rome more . than two years later..

The guild, established in 1972 as a vehicle for promoting the study 'and improvement of sacred music in the liturgy, has assisted church musicians in the Fall River, Taunton, and Attleboro areas through a series of workshops for organists, directors, and choir members.

Father CampbeH, assistant pastor at' Holy Name Church,' oFall River also serves as music consultant on the Diocesan Divine Worship Commission, and' is the diocesan director of music.

Having visited over 30 parishes in the past few months to discuss with pastors and musicians the new document, "Music in Catholic Worship" published by the U. S. Bishops Committee on the Liturgy, Father Campbell is aware of the musical problems and hope that these area workshops may cure some of the iJlls that exist.

At the New Bedford meeting ,there wilJl be a display of the latest publications of World Library of Sacred Music and Gre, gorian Institute of America, some of which will be sung by those attending the workshop.

Other music and seasonal missals, plus some monthly missalettes will be available fpr review.

See Illegal Aliens Serious Problem For Church WASHINGTON (NC) - The issue of illegal aliens "can develop into a most serious problem for the Church," according to the Migration and Refugee Services Division at the U. S. Catholic Conference (USCC) here.

In a letter sent to the U. S. bishops, John McCarthy, director of the division said that "up to a million and a half persons, most of whom are natives of traditionally Catholic countries" could be affected by new legislation designed to cope with the problem of aliens who are in the United States illegally.

"The timeliness of the matter is evidenced by the mood of both the House and Senate. Hearings have been held and it appears that our existing laws cannot cope with the situation," McCarthy said.

"The hilI introduced (in the House of Representatives) by Rep. Peter Rodina, now chairman of the HoU'se Judiciary Committee, appears to be the least punitive and most effective" of current legislative proposals, McCarthy sa'id.

Economic Reasons Along w,ith McCarthy's letter, Migration and Refugee Services sent the bishops a report on the illegal alien situatiqn and the Rodino bill.

The majority of i1Hegal aliens "have come to this country or seek to remain here for economic reasons." the report said.

Some. it said. are refugees from political oppression in their homeland. but they do not qualify for political asylum because of the limited applicability of the term "refugee" in U. S. law.

The report to the bishops stressed the human side of the iIlega'l aUens" plight. Often. it said, the illegal alien is supporting a family in :his home coun- ' tryon the wage!! he is earning in the United States. Sometimes the illegal alien will marry a bona fide resident alien and have children.

Moral Ills The report said that "under newly inaugurated restrictive policies." many of these aliens "if apprehended. are sent back to their home countries t6 await the availability of immigrant v.isas."

The report decried "the moral and social ills created by the separation of families" in those circumstances.

Because of their illegal status, the report said, many aliens are subject to "exploitation by unscrupulous employers."

The Rodino hill tries to meet many of these problems. the report to the bishops said. It·s principal provision is to penalize the employer who hires a worker knowing that he "is in the United States in a status which does not allow him to take up employment...

Before I'm taken apart by super-patient mothers who really are scandalized to hear another mother admit she like peace and serenity for a few hours a day, let me scurry to add that I love my children. I love them in the morning untIl about 9 A.M. and I love them ,in ,the afternoon after 3:30. The hours in between . I love my p.re-schooler, who gets a chance to finish a sentence when the others buzz off.

I don't think I'm alone in this, either. I've seen quite a few PTA-types cowering in the supermarket in late August, squeezing the avocados just to stall going home to. "There's nuthin' to do. .... and "Jamie looked at me." I've met more than one friend volunteering to sl uff envelopes after they've had a siege of flu at home. No other mother questions their devotion.

Where is it written that husbands can freely admi t they don't want wives and <:hildren dn their of.fices, and children can admit they don't want parents at school but mothers can't ad.. m.it they dori~t like having husband and children at home between nine and three?

BISHOP BAUM I

New Archbishop ForWashingtol1

WASHINGTON (NC)~Several black Catholic leaders voiced strong neg~tive reac::ions to the fact that a black pri,est was not appointed new archbishop of Washington.

Pope Paul VI appointed Bishop William W. Baum, 46:, of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Mo., March 5 to succeed Cardinal Patrick A. O'Boyle as head of the Washington archdiocese.. , The archdiocese' and its See City. the nation's' capital, have the highest percentage of blacks and of black Catholics in the country.

"It's too early to say anything about Bishop Baum himself," said Robert Robinson community coordinator of the' Washington Black Catholi<: Lay Caucus.

"But he certainly has his work cut out for him."

Spokesmen for the National Office of Black Catholics (NOBC) and National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus declined to comment on the ~Iove.

"This is another typical racist move by the Catholic Church," (NBCLC) pres'ident Joseph Dulin.

"I'm seriously considering giving up on the Chur,:h in America.

We've been ignored time and time again, and I feel the bish<?ps of this country are responsible."

Dulin saJid he would resign from his post as NBCLC president at the end of his current term. "I cannot :in conscience continue to represent black Catholics in the Catholic Church in America, which is a racist institution." he said.

When Cardinal.O'Boyle submitted his resignation in 1971, a number of black' Catholic groups, along with the NatJional Association of the Laity, and various individuals urged that the next archbishop should be a black.

There are two black bishops in the country, both auxiliaries: Bishop Harold E. Perry in N~w Orleans and Bishop Joseph R. Howze in Natchez-Jackson, Miss., who was appointed last November.

Father Lucas scored the selection of Bishop Howze. "They took a. very safe. Negro, and ma?e hIm ~he a~sl~t~nt. ~o a whIte man In MISSISSIPPi, he said. "They took someone totalIy unknown to the black people, uninvolved in any black movement."

France Exhausting , ito . ,Joe But Vive la Difference!

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick A great added bonus to going away froin home for. a week is that it is great to get back home! Much as I enjoy visiting a foreign country, in this case France, it is a pleasure to be back where you understand every word that is being said and where The bread is beautiful, crusty :you are not over-stimulated and fresh, and 'it is true that you every minute of the day. I meet men and women all day suppose that this is why we long .carrying loaves of this b~ome

subdued in the confines of our homes where we are only subconsciously aware of sounds, odors and tactile stimuli.

When we are away from hom2 we are geared up to tlverything that is new and different-and almost everything is different.

People may pe the same all over the world, but cultural differences do exist and these are sufficient to make their impact on our antennae, For Marilyn, who does not speak or understand French, the impa,ct was much higher than for me, since I am able to understand and speak French to some extent. But even in language there is a consc'ious effort to listen and understand and tI:anslation requires considerable effort.

Jiverything Different

~.

'

The food in Paris was deHcious but different, tl:te buildings and city different 'and delightful, the sounds of the city different; everything was different and one has to adjust so much to the difference that it is wearing and exhausting. Of course, it is this that makes travelling such a delight and an exhilarating experience, but ,it does exact a toll on one's energy level. After four days back home at this writing, I feel that I can sleep for endless stretches of time, a fact that I have proven since my return.

And so it is goM to be back home where so much can be taken for granted and we can feel comfortal:J1e and at ease; where we can assess'the things that we saw and experienced in the leisure of everyday surroundings.

In' the Kitchen French cooking is all they say and more. From the finest restaurant with 'a two star, rating in the Michelin guide, to a little sidewalk cafe that you just happen by, there is nothing that resembles our hasty meals and short order concoctions.

Harvard Appoints Priest P'rofessor CAMBRIDGE (NC) -- Father George MacRae, a New Testament scholar, has been named the Charles Chauncey Stillman Professor of Roman Catholic . Studies at Harvard University's , Divinity School.

Father MacRae is a member of the faculty of Weston College, Jesuit Seminary. He wan among the first to interpret the recent~ Iy discovered Coptic manuscripts from Nag Hammadi, 'Egypt, which with the Dead Sea Scrolls, have shed new light on the origins 'Of Christianity.

Father MacRae was recently elected secretary of the Society of Biblical lJiterature, the first Catholic scholar so .recognized. . ,

staple under their arms. It is eaten at every meal, starting with tiny loaves at the continental breakfast right' on into the most gourmet of meals.

Joe and I picked up a few names from my Gourmet mag: azine of restaurants one should visit, a:nd per 'usual the recommendations were truthful. One truly elegant restaurant, La Maree, not only served the most delicate food 'imaginable in the grand manner, but we had the added, excitement of eating near Charlie Chaplin and his wife.

Respect fo... Food Even in the serving of food haste is put aside and taste and an attitude of respect for every dish takes over. Dinner is generally a ,production. One, of course, that you pay for but one that 'is worth the cost. , When they say "Bon Appetit," they're not kidding!

As I was typing this column I notked that the March issue of one of the home 'and food magazines is featuring "French home style cooking Americans love." I'm certainly going to try some of those recipes to try to add zest to our winter-weary menus.

The vegetable I, found most delightful in Paris was the endive. It's not a common vegetable on the American market but is avail'able if you search.

This reoipe is from the first Julia Child cookbook.

BISHOP·ELECT RAUSCH

NCCB S'ecretary Named Bishop) VATICAN CITY (NC)--During the Vatican Consistory, Pope Paul VI announced the elevation of Rev. Raymond S.

Speltz of St. Cloud, Minn. Father Rausch will remain ~t his present post in Washington.

BishopJdesignate Rausch ,is a native of Albany, Minn. He was ordained for the diocese of St. Cloud; Minn., June 2, H156.

He : was assistant pastor at St. Mary's Cathedral, St. Cloud, in 1956, ~nd taught at the Ca, thedral High School there 195767 and at St. Thomas College 1966-67. From 1968 to 1969 he was research fellow for the USCC division of world justice and peace.

Deny Birth Control MOlI'tg~ge Link WASHINGTON (NC)-An attorney for: the Mortgage Bankers Association of 'America (MBA) has asserted that it is "not a policy" of his industry to require couples to remain 'childless through aport ion or vasectomy before granting home loans.'

However, another MBA lawyer conceded it is "not far fetched" ~hat companies ask couples a~out plans to control birth through contraception.

The MBA officials made their comments after an ArHngton, Va., couple had complained to the Veterans Administration (VA) that' an off-icer of a Falls Church, Vl;l., mortgage company had made· them promise to remain childless through birth con- . trol, abortion and vasectomy before approving a mortgage.

A spok~sman for the VA, which had· guaranteed the loan ,obtained by Martin and Carol Lewicke la'st year, said the VA is investigating the charges, He said it is not a VA policy to require statements on birth (;ontrol plans by couples.

By BARBARA WARD

in' those things· vice of men which are decisive for the existenceand the future of humanity."

It is strange how little thought and study seem to be given to' this whole field of non-violent action. The reason cannot altogether be doubts about its effectiveness. When, after the Second World War, German generals were asked to judge the greatest difficulties they had had to face in Europe's occupied territories they all· said that passive resistance, "workJng to rule," quiet obstruction -and cheerful incompetence were hardest of all to overcome.

Violence, by guerrillas could be countered by violence and whole villages massacred-as at Oradour-to revenge the killing of a single German soldier. But what could they do with Danes and Dutch who with apparent good humour lost files, forgot to oil machines, misplaced orders, • dispatched faulty parts and totally failed to understand orders?

'1'0 murder or Jmprison men and women for such failings only worsened relations with the people at large and did not lead to the rediscovery of a single file.

Restraints Needed Now it is true that, in terms of direct effectiveness in political society, non-vJolence needs some standards, some restraints on the side of the governing authorities.

One has only to compare the positive response to Dr. Martin Luther King's non-violent leadership in America's civil rights movement with the shooting down of South African protestors 'at Sharpeville a decade ago and the merciless imprisonment, internment or exile of all critics ever since.

When Gandhi led his nonviolent opposition to British rule ·in India, he ,knew there were limits to the counter-action British opinion would countenance.

Imprisonment under humane conditions - this was possible.

Torture, arbitrary .executions, massacres-these were not.

It follows that non-violence practiced under systems such as Stalin's or the Gestapo's cannot work immediately and directly on the political scene. The Dutch and Danish resistance would have been ineffective if Germany's generals had not adhered to relatively decent preNazi standards of behavior-and

studied, this feeling that in societies tough and brutal enough to make non-violence the only option open to protestors, the authorities will make cruelly certain that it has no effect? . At the end of Solzhenitsyn's masterpiece, "The First Circle," the two prisoners decide to return to the horrors of the labor camp rather than take the risk that their research will be used to entrap victims of the Secret Police. But in real life who would have known of their sacrifice? What political effect could it have had?

Twelve Just Men But it is perhaps precisely this consideration that makes nonviolence a peculiarly appropriate form of Christian witness to justice. For the Christian, no act of truth and compassion is lost or hidden. AU exist in God's knowledge of his Creation. In the unending,' planetary struggle between greed and generosity, between violence and forgiveness, between power and love, each free act, 'added to the balance of good, helps to prevent catastrophe on the battleground .of the human spirit.

There is an ancient legend in the Talmud that 12 just men uphold the roof trees of heaven.

Tlleir goodness, entirely unsuspected by them for they are as humble as they are virtuous, is enough to offset all the entrenched or casual evil of normal, sinful man.

So it is with all non-violent gestures or acts of justice. Those who make them may be silenced in death or prison. The worldly 'impact may be no more than a .Jast cry in a darkened concentration camp. But gathered together with all the .blood of the martyrs, all the generous love of the great informers and with the final abandonment of God himself upon the Cross, they belong to the ·irresistible forces of survival and salvation, to the knowledge, revealed by the Saints, that creation is not in vain, that "all manner of things shall be wel.J."

,~t-K-N~O"-"-W~Y-O-U--R-FA'-~IT-H--t Jesus Christ Was Part of the Human Family They did not really call him "Son of Man." But iater they remembered that was what Jesus used to calll himself. Jesus said "I" 'about as often as anyone else does.

But Jesus also said "Son of Man," especially in 5tatements that were' pa,rticularly important. and weighty. "The Son of Man must suffer much and be re· 'jected ... He will be put to death and after three days he will be raised to life." "The Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins." "Unless, you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you wHI not have life in you."

Why did Jesus' favor this ex. pression? To tell the truth,' we don't really know for sure. There are many .possibilities.

"Son of Man," in some sectarian literature from Jesus' time and place, meant a mysterious, superhuman being who was to stride over the earth shortly before God's final judgment.

"Soii of Man," in the propnecy of Ezekiel, was the prophetic figure who received speciaft revelations from God in order to pass these on to men.

"Son of Man," in the prophecy of Daniel, was a figure who had the' appearance of ·a single human being, but who was in fact a living symbol for all those who were to be saved, God's chosen ones, the people of Israel, the community of the saints..

Person of Destiny In any of these senses, "Sal) of Man" was at least someone outstanding and marvelous even if he had to remain hidden for a time. He was a person of specjal mission and de~tiny. To him and through him remarkable

Speaking at the 10th annual conference of the National Association of Television Program Executives here, the archbishop told participants: "The four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, have been replaced by three: National, Columbia and American.
