Those conclusions took the form of resolutions which: Asked the government to grant immediate amnesty "to those who have left the country or had been imprisoned because of opposition to compulsory military service in the Indochina war."

Asked local priests councils to raise money for the defense of Father Philip Berrigan and six other defendants in the kidnaping and bombing conspiracy case.

Asked the U. S. bishops to address themselves to, "the immorality of the automated air war" in southeast Asia.

Asked private clubs to accept members of minority groups and asked Catholics not to patronize clubs which discriminate. The El,ks, Moose' and Eagles were named in the resolution.

Formed a task force "to develop a model for a Christian ministry to homosexuals."

Asked an end to the death penalty and opposed any easing of legal restrictions against abortion. The latter resolution supported programs "aimed at preserving, protecting, and nurturing the life of every person, including the unborn and their mothers."

Asked courts and legislatures to work out ways of allowing the teaching of religion in public schools.

Supported "freedom of residence" for priests and asked for "just compensation" for such housing.

Modern Society Continued from Page One "Man needs' something which comes from on high, which comes from the lips of God: the word of God." The Pope asked: "Do you not feel the uneasiness in the world?

Do you not see the social strata disturbed by so many upsetting events? ... Basically, people are unhappy."

He asked the parishioners to show the young people what the Church is and to explain to them that "in the Church they can find help and understanding as well as the essentials to make life meaningful."

Earlier that day the Pope made an appeal for financial baoking for a university in Italy that could apply to many countries.

In his noontime address to the crowds in St. Peter's square, Pope Paul asked for funds for the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, a Milan-based institution with branches in various Italian cities. It is the only Catholic lay university in Italy.

The Pope said that in many countries the Catholic school system is experiencing a financial crisis.

"The Church has always been a great promoter of schools, from the primary ... to the professional level," he said.

The Church did this, the Pope said, to extend knowledge to all in fulfillment of its vocation of dispensing the truth God entrusted to it. ,

"Chr·istians! Have you got a minute?" That's the opening of a flyer being distributed to parishioners of St. Louis Church, Fall River. They are being asked to attend "an old-fashioned Come-All-Ye." at 7 Sunday night in the church hall, where members of the CCD and the Parish Education Committee will demonstrate the need for parish unity in order to provide religious education for grade school y.oungsters and a youth group course of rap sessions on current topics.

Titled "It's Got to Be We," the program will include film clips of parish activities, a demonstration CCD class and a one-act play portraying the death of CCD. Many Problems

'Catholic Education National Asset' PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Catholic educators from across the country will gather here April 3-6 for a convention that will spotlight the ways their institutions serve the nation.

Dr. Sidney P. Marland; Jr., U. S. Commissioner of Education, will keynote the 69th annual National Catholic· Educational Association convention, speaking on its theme-"Catholic Education, A National Asset,"

Marland's appearance, and that of other U. S. Office of Education officials, including Dwight R. Crum, USOE's first ceordinator of nonpublic educational ser~ vices, may be overshadowed, however.

"Rumor has it that the White.

"You must have noticed how empty the church has been at each Mass," notes the flyer.

"Have you had any problems finding a seat? Have you had any problems finding a parking place lately? There are many problems confronting our parish, and only ,by getting together will be be able to solve them.

"St.· Louis parish has always been known for its spirit. A lot of promise exists in this parish.

We are confident that there will ,be a good turn-out."

When are you happiest? Happiness lies in giving.

Good fathers whistle at their work•••• The best sort of giving involves more than writing checks-still, how b.etter can you help the children now who need you overseas? Boys and. girls who are blind, lepers, deaf-mutes, orphans-your money gifts,' large and small, will feed them, teach them, cure them, give them a chance in life•••• Want to be happier this Easter?

Suenens on Renewal Cardinal Leo Joseph-Suenens of Belgium has cautioned an American audience that Church reform does' not mean revolution. The forc'eful prelate has sometimes been used as ali authority by those who call for a complete break· with the past in Church updating and renewal. The Cardinal himself told a New-York audience just a few days ago that religion's path into the future must be "the road of evolution that brings past, present 'and future into un.ity."

The Cardinal pointed out that Church renewal brings some distress and discomfort. "However, with the keen the surface eyes of faith, these changes remain -only without dis'turbing or negating what is fundamental, vital. and .essential for continuity. Nevertheless, to perceive this,' we need oil the one hand a vivacious faith which ,clings to the living Christ in a personal encounter' and a living' commitment and on the ,other hand a, wisdom to separate. what is non essential from that which is essential." , J • , The distinguished churchman is saying what"hasbeen ' . said again and again and what tlJ.!Jst continue to b~ said.

People are still fearful that somehow Church renewal m~a~s '. . /:~ ,f the overthrow of the essentials. They: need to be reassured ., . ~ ,,1' again and again that there ~ill be no change in the realities ' of the Apostle's Cre!1.g, and the Ten Co~mandments and the Seven Sacraments.. Our understanding of these' can ' ',r" always deepen; our insight into the implication of these _f ' can always grow more' profound;, our .awarenessof the .e~ ramifications' Of these can always become heightened~; . . But renewal basically is the getting bac\{, 'to these fundamentals, the updating of whatever approaches and techniques that can make them more effective, the living of more Christ-like lives so that the 'fundamentals' will become more evident in the lives of Catholics and more attractive to others..

'SANTIAGO (NC) - Chilean President Salvador Allende has endorsed an open letter Cardinal Raul Silva of Santjagp addressed ~~~~~ to rich nations on behalf of the ) poor' here and in the rest of the Third World of developing countries.

P"ie$,t -Ad,vise's Church'to Ask New Questions SEATTLE (NC) - Father Andrew Greeley told the audience here that the American Churc'h of the 1970s is in a time of "pause, despair, loneliness, apathy and indifference," "We are at a time of emotional exhaustion," the sociologist said. "We are weary of controversy, of stridency, of, the cycle of elation and discouragement which has been typical of the last several years.

"We are tired of enthusiasm, tired of the steady stream of, magic answers that came along each year: cursillos, sensitivity, kerygmatic 'catechetics, priests' organizations, lay organizations, nuns' organizations, Pentecostals.

All of these have tried' and failed."

Eight Areas To respond to this fr~stration among its members and to make progress, the priest said,' the Church must not devise new answers to old questions, but rather must ask new questions about man's relationship with his fellow man.

Father Greeley said a "new agenda" covering 'eight areas in which the Church must ask new questions is taking shape.

Father Greeley said the areas are faith, community, Christan education, the structure of the Church, ritual or liturgy, issue of social involvement versus contemplation, sexuality, and asceticism.

The Church must, he said, "loosen up," unshackle ': itself from some pre-Vatican, II modes 'of thinking, and avoid the tendency to become bogged down in debate over specifics.· .

Move Slowly Although he did not indicate' who will formulate the new agenda" Father Greeley emphasized that they will move slowly in taking the best from the pr~~ Vatican: II "immigrant Church'," characterized by stability and certainty, and combining it with modern ideas and mo~es of religious expression.

"One of the mistakes we made in past decades is that in quasipanic we tried to do everything all at once, to solve every problem in six months, a year, or two years at the most.

"But riow we know," the priest said, "that urgency; passion and enthusiasm are no substitute for precision, discipline, intelligence and realistic analysis."

Father Greeley, columnist for The Anchor, said he could not be more precise about the new agenda. He emphasized that the agenda is just now beginning to take shape.

Soviets, Nuns Mini Cold War Ends LONDON (NC) - The mini war here between the, Soviet trade delegation and its neighbors, the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, ende<i with a timely lesson in socialism for the Soviets.

The delegation opposed a plan to build 50 houses and apartments on the s.eve'n-and-a-half acre site adjoining its $800,000 headquarters in Highgate, northwest London, on the grounds that it would "reduce the value" of its property.

The planning committee of the HigHgate council overruled the objection and its chairman, Ivor Walker, said: "We were most surprised that a socialist organization' should express' its views in such capitalistic terms."

Before the last of the 12 Sisters recently left the convent for new premises, they had occasion to object to their Soviet neighbors when martial music blared over the convent walls during their contemplations. -The nuns resorted to equally loud recordings of hymns in order to ree~tablish their' fragile. coe?tistence. .

Company to Explain So. Africa Operations NEW YORK (NC)-The Mobil Oil Corporation has told stockholders of the Board for World Ministries of the United Church of Christ it will inform them of activities of Mobil affiliates in the racially tense Republic of South Africa.

The agreement was reached after the board, which owns 5,527 shares of Mobil stock, filed a 'stockholder resolution last May demanding disclosure of policies and operations of the company in South Africa. After a series of "mutually informative" meetings between Mobil and several U.C.C. boards and its Council for Christian Social Action, the company agreed to disclose its South African activities and the U.C.C. withdrew its resolution.

"It has become clear that Mobil and the United Church Board for World Ministries are both conc:erned to pursue further the problem of improving the working conditions of African, Colored (mixed race) and Asian employees of the Mobil affiliates in the Republic of South Africa," Howard Schomer, boaN secretary, said in a letter to Mobil, rounding out the agreement,

They are Sister Carolyn Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ~obert Smith of Holy Name parish; Sister Marie Morgan, daughter of Mr~ and Mts: John Morgan of St. Patrick':) parish; and Sister Rita BQul,ey, whose mother is a Greenville resident.

The three were cloistered, Poor Clare nuns in Jamaica 'Plail1t for some 'years, but af~er Vatican, II, 'explained Si$ter Carolyn, they felt the need for a return to the simpler monastic life envisioned

"We only want to make enough to live on," said Sister Rita.

The Sisters settled in Greenville because Sister Rita's mother was there, and also because the village's . Catholic school had recently been taken over by the public school system and the parish convent had become available. ', "People are glad to have Sisters in town, even if we don't teach," said Sister Carolyn. "One mother said if we weren't here, her children would grow up never seeing a nun."

The Sisters have become a sort of focus of community activity. When a family was burned out in a recent fire, it was the convent that served as a collection depot for clothing, furniture and food to get the victims back on their feet. And the convent houses CCO and other parish activities. Although the Sisters don't direct these undertakings, it 'falls to them to keep the premises in order.' They have' also made vestme,nts for the parish..

Seminar Planned On Federal Aid To E,ducation WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. Catholic Conference elementary . and secondary education division will add something new to its annual Summer program on Federal aid to education, held at Catholic University of America here. \ Besides a June 12:)'6 workshop outlining major federal programs providing aid to elementary and secondary education, the division will also sponsor a June 19-21 seminar on "Special Purpose Grants for Education." , Frank J. Monahan, the USCC division's assistant director for governmental programs, said the three-<lay seminar "will examine the various project grants available" through the U. S.bepartment of Health, Education and Welfare, and the Uf~~. bishops' anti-poverty drive, the Campaign for Human Development.

"Some of the programs areas to be treated," Monahan said, "will be educational innovation, research, drug education, environmental education and poverty."

Purpose of the seminar, he continued, is "to acquaint persons involved in nonpublic education and related fields with the funding sources available, as well as to provide them with the basic knowledge and skills required" to apply for the funds.,

Explaining their status within the Church, the Sisters said they are one of about 600 small communities that have started i~ the United States since Valican II. "It's about six or seven hundred years since anyone has started new contemplative communities in the Church," said Sister Rita,"so Rome is moving slo'Y;ly in app~.()ving any of them; We think what will happen is that in about ,20 years Rome will see whWh' groups have survived and will then decide what do do about them.

Meanwhile we're' considered an experimental community." . , ,:" The Sisters welcome applications from prospective candidate~, but say frankly that' their life is not for everyone. Although not for.

WASHINGTON (NC) - President Richard Nixon's commission .on· school finance has recommended that governmental agencies "promptly and seriously consider" additional and more substantive forms Of aid to the nation's nonpublic schools.

In its long-awaited report, released here March 6, the 18member commission said court decisions on school aid "interpreting provisions of the Constitution, especially to the churchrelated "schools" .greatly limited the aid forms which the commission could. recommend.

'Equitable Sharing' Its first recommendation was that local, sta"te and federal funds "be used ,to provide, where constitutionally permissible, public benefits for nonpublic school children" - such as nutritional programs, health services, the loaning of textbooks and transportation programs.

Auxiliary Bishop William E.

'.

'

McManus of Chicago, a member of the commission's four-man panel oil' nonpublic education, said in an appendix to the report that although the recommendation for "child benefit" aid was "a reassuring sign of goodwill toward the nation's nonpublic schools," it actually represents "only a reaffirmation of a recommendation made some 32 years ago by President Franklin Roosevelt's Advisory Committee on Education."

The commission said in its report that it was aware "that the provision of child benefit services alone will not make a substantial contribution toward the solution of the nonpublic schools financial crisis ..."

It urged "that governmental agencies promptly and se.rio\lsly consider additional and more substantive forms of assistance;" such as tax credits anddeduc-' tions , ·tuition .reimbursement, scholarship aid,. for the needy .

.~=-:;:::

and "equitable sharing in any new federally supported assistance programs."

'Raise False Hopes' Chairman Neii McElroy and seven other commission members, however, dissented from that recommendation package.

McElroy, a former U. S. Defense Secretary said his concern "arises from my belief that the examples given are most un· likely to be permitted' under present judicial restraints on government payments toward nonpublic school education."

He added that the commission "after considering the best legal advice it. could recruit," could not find any substantive form of nonpublic school aid "which appeared both practical and a probable winner of judicial challenge."

The commission's recommendations for: more substantive aid, he said, .raises "what I consider to be false hopes."

'The Second Vatican Council affirms unambiguously that "civi<: and political education' is to.day supremely necessary for people, especially young people.

Such education should be painstakingly provided; so. that all citizens can make their ~ontribu­ tion to the political community'~ (Church in World, 75). .How seriously is the Council's urging being taken? It may be instructive to reflect'on religious' education programs from grammar school to graduate school.

Are political issues examined in the light of Christian principles?

Who are the heroes and models proposed in these programs?

How is the mature Christan defined? .

A close look at Sean O'Casey is provided in a'memoir written by his wife, Eileen O'Casey, anct" entitled' Sean, (Coward, McCann and Geoghegan, 200 Madison' Ave., N. Y., 10016. $6.95).

Iri'sh FinallyCatchin'g On To Cur,rent· Ethnic Revival Last week we celebrated: the feast of a British saint with an Italian name. At least we did if we forgot that the Holy See--for reasons that no doubt seemed valid to it....,... has expelled that saint from the calendar of the Universal Church.

Continued from Page Sixteen themselves in the political process.

Public Interest From all this it is ·clear that politics and government are a far more serious business than many people are inclined to give them credit for being. Because they are serious, they demand the active involvement of as many committed people as possible. Politics, to paraphrase an old say.ing, is too important to be left to the politicans.

Perhaps it as this realization -of the dignity and importance of the sometimes disparaged political process - that is behind the growing interest in the idea of the "public interest lobby."

More and more theoreticians' and practitioners are looking to such oroadly participatory groups to instill new vigor into political structures in the United States today. If it is true in many respects government has become too big, too impersonal, too unresponsive, too locked into established patterns and procedures, at seems also true that the "public interest lobby" offers one of the more hopeful means of. effecting change. The model is one that church groups could well examine in evaluating their own relationship-and responsibility-to the political process.

In any case, the effort involved in polibical activity is worth making. The vision proposed by Pope Paul makes it clear that this is a vocation eminently worthy of a Christian. It may be, after ,all, thatin the last analysis' we will get a politics and J11. I. gove.rnment only as good - or bad2 as we deserve.

New Dimension Forthcoming , In Interscholastic Spring Sports.

League competition will officially commence for interscholastic schoolboy Spring sports in a few weeks. Action will take place on various fronts as the athletes vie for honors in baseball, track and field, golf, and tennis. While the format for each sport . will not be altered, a new portunity to ,participate in boys' where girls'sports are dimension w,ill be forthcom~ programs presently absent. The ruling is ing in all except baseball. presently just a waiver for this The change comes about as a result of a recent Massachusetts Secondary Principals' Association (MSSPA) ruling regarding the participation of girls in interscholastic sports. According to the governing body's new policy, girls are eligible to compete with boys in noil-contact high school sports.

The MSSPA ruling apparently is designed to promote girls' athletics ~y offering them the op-

Spring of the: old law that prevented boys from participating in girls' sports and vice versa.

Under the- new, regulation' a boy cannot play on a girls' team, but high schoolgirls may play on a boys' team provided the sport is non-<:ontact and the school 'does not offer the 'sport to girls. The MSSPA is expected to take action on the new ruling .shortly;. and, if accepted, it will take full effect ne# Fall.

NEW COACH: George Milot, '. assistant football cQach at Bishop Stang High School, North Dartmouth, for six' years, has been named head coach; succeeding Charles Connell. A grad~ uate of Coyle High School and Stonehill College, Milot is a Taunton native. He has been head. tr~ck coach at Stang for the past few years.

In football, he will build on Stang's overall record, which stands at 55 wins, 36 losses and five ties. The Spartans' '72 schedule will include encounters with Dartmouth, New Bedford Yoke, Feehan, Fairhaven, Dighton-Rehoboth,' Bourne, Seekonk, Wareham. and Dennis-Yar:mouth.

. NEW 0 R ~ E A N S (NC)"Whenever you have a lack of information, you are certainly liable to have a lack om credibil· ity. We must communicate in order to maintain our credibility with our' people," said Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans.

The archbishop was comment· ing on the first plenary session of the Pontifical Commission of Social Communications in Rome.

He was one of the American commission members.

The two'main objectives'of the commission's session, according to Archbishop Hannan, were "to' establish a better system of internal communications (in the Vatican) as well as a better ex- . ternal system. But the initial discussions largely concerned the definition of the commission ,itself-it~ powers and its thrust

. '.. and that needs a bit of explaining.".

Full-Fledged ·.~pokesman "In "general; these are two tendencies in the commission it~ self: one, to be theoretical and merely consultative; the other, to be more action-oriented. Naturally, I f~lvor the tendency to be action-oriented. And that is the attitude of' most of the English-speaking members of the commission (about a third of the whole group)."

The major concrete outcome of the commission's meeting was a recommendation to Pope Paul' to improve the Vatican's press relations by naming a full-fledged spokesman at the policy-making level.

"We spoke at length," Arch· bishop Hannan said, "about the need for having a representative who would be made a party to as .many decision-making conferences (of congregations and commissions) as possible, so that he would fully represent the mind of the Church in answering questions."
