With the' Feast of the ~esurreciion each year, we are given new cause for great confidence in our Faith~ Jesus, the Lord, is the Son God, and of this fact His Resurrection is eloquent testimony. This testimony, valid as it was for those who first saw the empty tomil, has been through all the centuries and continues to be solid proof of our Faith. In this Faith, we renew our belief in those facts of doctrine and principles of ethics accord~ng to which we live. .

Seldom have followers of Christ been asked to profess this Faith in action with the intensity that contemporary life demands. For it is apparent that we can no longer trust to custom, convention or law to enshrine the basic principles of moral living. We must therefore learn them and enshrine them in our hearts to such an extent'that we live entirely in accord with our Faith in Jesus Christ and His teachings; When, in fact, this is codified only in our hearts, such moral living is an even greater and more eloquent testimony of our commitment to the Risen Lord.

Religion-Oriented Families Least Prone to Drugs STANFORD (NC) - Families with strong religious characteristics, such as Mormons and Catholics, are least likely to have drug abuse problems with their children. That is one of the conclusions of "Horatio Alger's Children," a new book by Richard Blum, a research associate at the Institute for Public Policy Analysis here. Blum claims that by examining several aspects of family life -class, religion, drinking habits, and attitudes toward drugs and authority-he can 'predict with 90 per cent accuracy the chances that a youth will turn to drugs. Youths least likely to use drugs, Blum says, come from ,working class families that are strict, religious, politically conservative, and generally happy. "High risk families" - those whose children are most likely to u')e drugs-are described by Blum as permissive, politically

. Nurses and other interested persons are invited to attend a one-<lay seminar on law as it affects professional nursing practice on Thursday, April 6 at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River. The program, to be presented in Clemence Hall auditorium at the hospital, will be given by . Dr. Helen Creighton, lawyer and registered nurse, a University of Wisconsin professor specializing in the legal aspects of nursing. Dr. Creighton holds bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics. She earned degrees in law and nursing at George Washington University and a master's degree in nursing at St. Louis University. She is the author of a book, "Law Every Nurse Should Know," and of many ar.ticles in medical and nursing journals. Co-Chairmen Co-chairmen of the committee arranging Dr. Creighton's appearance at St. Anne's are Miss Jacqueline Allard, coordinator of inservice education at the hospital; and Mrs. CarroJ.1 Dean, director of orientation. Those interested in attending ,the seminar are requested to telephone the hospital at 674-5741 by Saturday, April 1.

liberal or radical and distrustful of authority. These families are religiously liberal or have no religious convictions, consume more alcohol and have more arguments than the low risk group, Blum said. They also use illicit as well ,as prescription drugs. Blum also cites a "trouble variable" rooted in the motherchild relationship as influencing drug use by youths. This variable, he says involves the mother's anxiety or some other disturbance in her relations with her child. A strong family structure, Blum says, shields teenagers from the group pressure that can force youths into using illicit drugs. The high risk youths come from unstable families in which discipline is not developed early, Blum says. They are marked, he says by self-indulgence, disregard for the rights of others and a pursuit of pleasure.

Perhaps nothing brings out .this reality in greater dramatic effect . than the Solemn Easter Vigil. Takinl~ place after nightfall it portrays in a vivid and dynamic way the resurrection of ~e Lord, his passing from death to life, and our accompanying passage from the death of the "old self" to the newness of life that is found through baptism in Christ. It is a passing from darkness to light as is ,seen in the paschal candle, the symbol of the risen Lord. The Church teaches us that Christ did not die and rise alone-His passage becomes our passage too. The Mass is the action that brings about the active presence Turn to Page Two

Bishop Cronin's Easter Message'

Thro~out every area of the DiOCese, Catholics are reliving this 'Week the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Liturgy teaches that in celebrating the mystery of the redemption "the Church opens to' the faithful the riches of her Lord's powers and merits, so that these are in some way made present for aU time, and the faibhful are enabled to lay hold 'upon them and become filled with saving grace." (Art. 102) The passion and death and resurrectionof Christ are made present to the faithful during this week so that the faithful may lay hold upon the salvation that they contain.

Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., will be principal concelebrant at a Funeral Mass'Monday morning at 10 in Notre Dame Church, Fall River, for the repose of the soul of the late Rev. Bernard A. Lavoie, chaplain at the Catholic Memorial Home, Fall River, who died Tuesday morping. Highly esteemed for his devotion to the sick, Father Lavoie had .been well aware of his rapidly advancing illness but had kept active and working until just several weeks ago when he entered a hospital for treatment. Son of Hermenegilde and the late Delia Ouelette Lavoie, Father Lavoie was born in Fall River on Jan. 17, 1930. He attended St. Mathieu School in Fall River and Assumption Prep in Worcester and received his A.B. degree, summa cum laude, from Assumption College, Worcester. He worked in a Fall River bank and then deciding to study for the priesthood he pursued his theology course in Montreal's Grand Seminary and was ordained for the priesthood in the Fall River Diocese on April 25, 1959, by Most Rev. James L. Connolly, D.D. On ordination Father Lavoie served as assistant in St'. Michael's Church, Ocean Grove, St. Joseph's Church, Attleboro, and Notre Dame Church, Fall River. For almost two years he has been chaplain at the Catholic Memorial Home in Fall River. Father Lavoie's body will lie

at the Boule Funeral Home in Fall River on Friday evening, then will lie in state in the chapel of the Catholic Memorial Home throughout Saturday, and will repose on Sunday at the Boule Funeral Home again. The homily at the Funeral Mas~ will be given by Rev. Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, pastor of Our Lady of Angels Parish, Fall River. In additon to his father, Father Lavoie is survived by three brothers, Herve, Leonard and Laurent, and by a sister, Mrs. Marcel Dionne.

More Catholics but Fewer Priests VATICAN CoITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI got the good mixed with the bad when the latest statistical yearbook "Activity of the Holy See" was given to him in his private apartment March 13. The book, covering the year 1971, showed that the number of Catholics around the world has grown from 526.5 million to 533.6 million since 1969. It also listed the world total of'ptiests as 347,481. Newly ordained

priests dropped from 4,032 in 1969 to 3,500 in 1971. There were 44 fewer major' seminaries and 49 fewer minor seminaries last year than in 1969, according to Activity. The new figures on Catholic populatiem and priesthood mean that the world average is now one priest for every 1,535 Catholics. The book also includes figures 0111 marriage annulments, requested and granted through the

Church's highest appeals tribuna'l, the Sacred Roman Rota. In 1971 there were 249 annulment applications, of which 80 were granted, or one out of three. Activity of the Holy See is a separate jublication from the "Annuario Pontificia," or Pontifical Annual, which is a compendium of the names of all the bishops and dioceses of the world, and Vatican offices.

Asserts Conflict War of Social, Political Evils ,. GULFPORT (NC) - Cardinal William Conway of Armagh, primate of (all) Ireland, has described the conflict of Northern Ireland, not as a religious war, but "a war of social and political ev,ils." It is not Catholics pitted against Protestants, the cardinal told a news conference shortly after attending the dedication of St. John the Evangelist Church here in Mississippi.

The cardinal came here by invitation of the pastor, Msgr. Michael Campbell, a longtime friend of the cardinal. Cardinal Conway said the battle in Ireland is centered on civil rights and independence. He said he sees no ,end to a spiral of violence in the embattl~ area until Northern Ireland drafts a new constitution. .. A new constitution, the cardinal sayS, must provide for the Catholic minority to be included in the governmental structure: He said that the 34 per cent Catholic minority is almost entirely "locked out" of participation in politics. The cardinal also said he does not condone the violente incited by the Irish RepubI::can Army. He pointed out that he has issued from 40 to 50 declarations to this effect.

Clergy Penalized CAPETOWN (NC)-The South African government has penalized or acted against more than 80 clergymen since the beginning of 1968, the Christian Institute of South Africa says. .

Cedis for Justice VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI, in a special St. Patrick's Daily message, warned' aU IrIsnmen that violence "is not· an' acceptable solution to the' problems of Ireland." But the Pope also said that "the Christian sense of values convinces man that lasting peace can be built only on the firm foundation of justice. If there is to be peace, there must first be justice. Everyone must play his part." The Pope sent his message in a letter in English to Cardinal William Conway of Armagh, primate of all Ireland, for this year's St. Patrick's day, a day the Pope has not marked particularly in the past. The Pope spoke out particularly against violence that is an "expression of revenge" and therefore "profoundly opposed to the spirit of. Christianity." The Pope was obviously disturbed by the violence that has claimed more than 270 lives in the past two' years in Northern' Ireland, but made no direct reference to that British province, nor did he use the terms "Catholic" or "Protestant." He spoke rather of the values of Christianity and called on all to have "mutual and abiding respect for others." He also sent his personal con· solation to all those who "have suffered and are suffering because of the present troubled sit· uation." After recalling the "vitality and vigor .of the Church in Ireland," Pope Paul said that "in receiving the faith from St. Patrick, your people accepted a sense of values which has been their pride and their strength throughout the centuries." The Pope said that "Ireland today faces many problems, and

•

the Irish people are deeply aware of the seriousness and urgeJ:lcy. In the fape of deplorable delays or even of cpntinuous disregard of these problems, the temptation to hasten their solution even by violent means may become very strong." Expression of Revenge But, said the Pope, "violence as a solution is illusory." He said it is "difficult to reconcile violence with righteousness that it is intent upon claiming or defending, whether this violence comes as a reaction to injustice or as a means of maintaining public order." The Pope said that "too often, especially in. certain extreme manifestations that we are witnessing with great sorrow in these days, violence is the expression of revenge. Thus it is profoundly opposed to the spirit of Christianity, which urges us to go beyond the bounds' of strict justice and embrace the commandment of brotherly love among all men."

Plan' Release of Testimony ROME (NC)-Gen. Charles de Gaulle's testimony for the beatification of Pope John XXIII will probably be made public this year, an authoritative source told NC News. The posl:ulator of Pope John's beatification cause, Father Antonio Cairoli, said that evidence given about Pope John's life and .work before various diocesan courts will be published when all the courts have wound up their work. He said that only a few diocesan tribunals still have to hear testimony and estimated that all the testimony will arrive in

Rome by next Autumn or Winter at the latest. The late president of France gave his testimony in writing to the archdiocese of Paris. Pope John and De Gaulle met in Paris in January 1945, shortly after the future Pope, as Archbishop Angelo Roncalli, arrived there as papal nuncio. . Archbishop' Roncalli had the difficult task of establishing good relations between the new Gaulist n~gime and the Church in France, where many bishops had supported the Vichy regime of Marshal Philippe Petain.

Three Cases Settled by Due Proce'ss DETROIT (NC)-The Detroit archdiocese:s due process system, the first in the nation, has had 14 cases, three of which were settled, in its two years of operation. While the inception of the grievance procedure was a growing trepd in the United States in 1969, Detroit gained attention because a group of young priests threatened an unprecedented strike if the bishops of Michigan did not meet a deadline. 'However, the deadline was met, the strike averted, and the three-stage system of conciliation and arbitration was adopted by all the bishops of Michigan on Dec. 30, 1969. The score card for the conciliation panel and the arbitration boa,rd. in Detroit shows 14 cases: One not' accepted; two dismissed

Bishop Asks Clergy To Name Candidate~ : SAN DIEGO (NC) - Bishop Leo Maher has asked the priests of the San Diego diocese to nominate candidates for a new auxiliary bishop. He would replace former Auxilary Bishop John R. Quinn, Who is now the bishop of Oklahoma City-Tulsa. Each priest was· asked by Bishop Maher to "list three qualifed candidate~, not necessarily a member of the San Diego diocElse, giving their names and listing their abilities and qualifications." The s'uggestions, he said, would serve to assist those who have the obligation of submitting candidates to the Holy Father for the appointment.

by the conciliation panel; one dismissed by the arbitration board; one withdrawn by the initiating party; two settled by arbitration; one settled in conciliation; and six cases pending. Mrs. Blanche Barbar, chairman of the conciliation panel, said the six cases pending could not be discussed until they were settled; conciliation settlements are not a matter of public record and could no't be discussed by' the panel but only by the parties concerned; aQd so only the two arbitration cases already completed are open t~ discussion. Common Denominator The first arbitration handled by the board was a case involving a pastor and associate pastor that had dragged on for two years, thus prompting the threatened priests' strike. The arbitration board ruled in' favor Of the associate pastor, and said that the pastor should' be removed. He was subsequently allowed to retire. .The second arbitration case was initiated by a neighborhood community group against a pastor and another community group. The priest had promised the same building to both groups. The board ruled against the initiating party. The only common denominator Mrs. Barbar saw within the grievance cases was the presence of priests, sometimes as initiator, sometimes as defendant. Common Agreement Mrs: Barbar, said the due proccess procedures are not used as often as they should be, possibly because persons tend to view them as legal hassles requiring lawyers.

"A person doesn't need legal counsel' to file" she said. "Conciliation is not a hard and fast legal case ~here someone loses and someone wins." \ Mrs. Barbar compared conciliation with going to a mar-, riage counselor where two persons try to work out a common agreement and, compromise. , The basic ingredients, in the, due process procedures include: Face-to-face dialogue with persons in conflict. Opportunity f<;>r each person to state his side or "the real reason for the dispute." No vindication' or abstract principles such as "the rights of authority" or "the right of con: science." The bishops explained, "There are few imperatives of conscience that make only' one course of action mandatory, and few rights of authority which can be asserted in only one specific way."

A " Loved 'One',"

The late great Protestant Swis,s theologian Karl ,Barth once said in an interview: "My experience has been that if. I simply try to say, to repeat" what the Bible says about God; the people understand. Many cIergyinn failto do this. We must simply accept the fad: that humanity is loved by God. We must tell man that-he is 'a loved ,one.' " That, of course; has been the theme permeating all the readings of the Masses of, Lent and especially of this Holy Week. Again and again the picture has been' pre~ , sented of God's love for' man, of God's desire to deliver man from himself, of God;s giving of His own Son that all men might become 'His sans and daughters. in a: 'world that is so largely .impersonal, when 'the human element had been so obscured by the mechanical, when technics: threaten to overpower ethics, the ordinary human being, is made to' feel very smal~ and insignificant. He must return to the two great themes of the Bible-that God is, infinitely other and above, His creation; ~nd that God is present to His people and wishes to, renew with them.again and again the covenant that they be His people n and He be their God. ' The soul 'of man can still be touched, his spirit elevated, hishope'restored, his life readjusted by the ~wesome'knowledge that he' is-a lov~d one. ., " , This is the"lessoil he must take from Lent and Easter. . . ..'....., '.'

'Angel of The Porters' Ecuador Nun's Evidence Helps Free Workers from Private 'Jail' QUITO (NC)- A nun who organized a union for this city's 2,000 '. porters discovered that some of them had been "jailed" by their boss. Sister Genoveva Rodriguez of the Colombian Laurita Sisters found that many of the porters, mostly poor Indians who have come here from impoverished rural areas, were practically slaves of a few bosses who control jobs at hotels and railroad stations. One of the bosses, Luis Cornelio Chavez, punished porters who refused to kick back part of their meager earnings by ,throwing them into his own "jail," an abandoned building belonging to Ecuador's Welfare ministry.

Sister Genoveva gathered enough evidence to bring in the police, who in January raided the "jail," freed 100 porters and ptit Chavez in a real prison. Sister Genoveva's efforts on behalf of the porters began last year when she opened a home for 60 of them in downtown Quito. But, she said, she soon found that· the home was not enough. ."These people needed organization. "We now have 50 per cent of them managing their own porters' union. We want to solve .two problems, their exploitation in the city and the disruption of family life in the rural communities they left behind." Sister Genoveva is now known as "the angel of the porters."

Father, forgive them, fox: they know not what they do ... Why don't they know? I've told them a thousand times to keep their things picked up. Why don't they remember to keep the living room tidy? Look at them ... watching TV and they don't even see that they've left their jackets on the chairs. Why must they take their shoes off all the time? Listen to them, Jesus. Just listen. They're fighting over who gets the' newspaper first. If they keep it up, it won't be fit to read!' Amen, Amen, I say to you; this day you shall be with me in paradise ... Are things orderly in paradise? Or do your little angels drop their books, and forget them? If cleanliness is next to Godliness, you'U have a hard time finding your way into our living room.

Catholics Urge' Pope, to Help , Soviet Jews

Sr. 'Eugenia Ma,:garet First Nun to Serve' As Trustee o/FlIII River Pl4:blic Library

Hails American Mission Help VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has' hailed the "unfailing and most generous" help of American Catholics to the missions throughout the world. The papal letter was sent to Catdinal John Krol of Philadelphia, 'as president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, in connection with the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith. The Pope expressed "profound satisfaction" that the Catholics of the United States are preparin'g' to observe the anniversary. He remarked: "The hierarchy in the United States has been foremost in its zeal in promoting the Society, establishing it in each diocese, appointing diocesan directors and presenting to the Holy See outstanding ecclesiastics to di路 rect and coordinate all efforts on-the national scale." Pope Paul cited the work of retired Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, '''who succeeded in giving such extraordinary vitality to the 'association" and who made it "one of the most popular and efficient Catholic institutions of your noble country. The Pope also paid tribute to the association's present director, Bishop Edward T. O'Meara, recently made an auxilary bishop of St. Louis.

Pope's Schedule For Holy Week, Easter Sunday VATICAN CITY (NC)-As in past years, Pope Paul VI plans to spend the most solemn h.ours of Holy Week and Easter with the largest number of people possible in Rome. Th~ Vatican' ,al1nounced that the Pope's Holy Week schedule will take him to ceremonies in Rome's famous basilicas and also to the Colosseum and a working-class parish on Easter morning. Pope Paul's Holy Week schedule will open at St.' Peter's Basilica for a Mass on Palm Sunday March 26. On Holy Thursday he will preside at the afternoon Mass at the Basilica of St. John Laterap, which is his cathedral as bishop of Rome.

At II A.M., he will be back at the Vatican to celebrate Mass on the steps of St. Peter's and then will impart his traditional blessing to the city of Rome and to the world from the main balcony of the basilica at noon.

Threaten to Transfer 38,000, Students BROOKLYN (NC)-A group of parents here, may begin transferring more than. 38,000 children from nonpublic to public high schools on May 1 unless substantial financial aid· is forthcoming from 'the New 'York state legislature. , .The plaIt was disclosed, at a rec~nt 'rally here, sponsored by Parents' Association of Second'ary Schools. About 6,000 persons, including U. S. Congressman Hugh Carey (D., N. Y.) and several state legislators, attended the rally at nearby St. John's University. "There should be equal treatment for' all childen in all schools ..." said Carey, a member of the House ways and means committee. He added ~hat this equal treatment had been "established by federal policy" through the landmark Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 - first federal aid package to specify equitable participation of nonpublic school children. Carey also said he would push for passage of a federal tax credit bill benefiting parents of nonpublic school children. Several such bills are currently before the ways and means committee. Those attending. the rally did npt discuss it $30.7 million aid program proposed recently by 'New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. One association official, however, said the group was taking a "watchful waiting" stance on the bill, which would provide health and safety grants based on the number, of students attending a given nonpublic school. The parents' group recommended that nonpublic school supporters contact state legislators through letters and personal visits about the fiscal crisis facing many of the'state's nonpublic schools.

Bishop Dougherty, chairman of the U. S. Catholic Conference's Committee for InternaUonal Affairs, submitted his testimony, before the Senate Antitrust and Monopoly Subcommittee here. Referring to large i!lternational corp.orations, the bishop said th.at their main task is to make 'a profit for stockholders. He sa.id stockholders "buy' and reo ta in 'their shares on the basis of skillful management, and have in fact' little influence over man" agement decisions." "Ingeperal stockholders in big corporations lack contIrol, and therefQre avoid any sense of moral responsibility for the con· duct of'affairs of. the enterprise." Bishop Dougherty said that on an international level this (Sick of responsibility leads to the ric:h corporations in developed countries, getting richer at lthe ~xpense of "le~s developed nations. ,," , , 'He said he hoped that institutiems; systems and technologies ~'not be diverted to the seeking of profit and the maintenance of , domination but rather that they ' be dedicated to the human development 'of all men on the 'planet." ,

Abortion Faces Society Problem By Killing STOCKPORT (NC)-Abortion is corrupting society "because it is accustoming us to the idea that we can solve our problems by killing," according to the chairman of an English organization formed to fight abortion and aid women "being pressured" to have an abortion. 'Prof. J.J. Scarisbrick,' chairman of the Life Organization, told a public meeting here: ' "I do riot deny that the abortionist is compassionate. My complaint is that he docs not extend this compassion to ,all the parties concerned. He does not extend it to the unborn ohild ... "What a tyranny it is to say that you have not the right to be born; what arrogance." Prof. Scarisbrick said that today the abortionist is being accepted as respectable because he claims to be saving the world, fr<>m suicide "because of the threat of overpopulation." "Abortion is corrupting the medical profession. Those whose vocation it is to ,heal are being caught up in the bloody violence involved in abortion ... ' "It is accustoming, us to accept the idea that some are inferior to others. This means abortion puts a premium on the strong and encourages elitism. It is a form of apartheird. Abortion is against the weak." Professor Scarisbrick is a Catholic but his two-year-old Life Organization has members from many other denom,inations.

Threatens to.' Raise'. Protestant Army GLASGOW (NC) - A militant Protestant pastor here has threatened to raise a Protesant ar.my of 5,000 to fight in Northern Ireland if the British government tries to change the British province's constitution. The Rev. Jack Glass, a Baptist and former associate of another militant Protestant clergyman, the Rev. Ian Paisley, said that he feels civil war "is almost inevitable in Northern Ireland, and that Scottish Protestants would react fiercely. "If I can go by what people have said to me," Mr. Glass said, "I could take as many as 5,000 to Ulster (Northern Ireland) quite easily. We would fight at even the remotest suggestion of a unified Ireland. We feel Ulster is British and it should remain so. "If we know Protestnts are being slaughtered in ,the streets of Belfast and (the Irish Republic's prime ,minister) Jack Lynch has moved up the republic army and British troops have been withdrawn .we would be forced to do something really': big. I would feel justified' in fighting., There will have to be organiied' resistance,'~'> . '

He had gone to Ray Genet, an expert· climber, to talk about survival equipment and techniques and wilderness living. All of these will come in handy after the Brother's ordination when he serves the cold-bound Alaskans.

ily Brother Allan Clark Abele leads a solitary contempl~tive life as Alaska's only Trappist monk-but not always. For a brief period, Brother Carl and 10 companions, struggled up Mount McKinley, at 20,320 feet the highest mountain in North America. Only four, including Brother Carl, got to the top. The other seven were taken off the mountain by plane or led back down the mountain by other climbers. Brother Carl used an ice axe to dig a hole and plant a cross on McKinley's summit. He talked about his climQ on a recent visit to his home here: "The beauty of the mountain was worth all the risk and effort. There is no question that it was very dangerous. There were hazardous things involved in making a climb that cannot be controlled much less anticipated." . Maximum Effort

Brother Carl will establish himself on Afognok Island, off the Alaska coast at Kodiah. The nearest town is a journey of one day and a half. He'll support himself through photography and painting. and by making scientific collections for educational institutions and researchers. He also is a bronze sculptor.

This. Spring Brother Carl will return here to pick up a boat that is being built for him. Be. cause shipping costs are too high, he hopes to sail it from here to Chicago then down the Mississippi and all the way to Alaska. He'll have help from a brother, Jerome, who is finishing up a term as a navy navigator, and a friend, Tony Case. ' "The boat will enable me to

His daily schedule on the island will be similar to that in a monastery, beginning with 2 A.M. vigils, psalms, meditations, Mass and Readings. He'll spend some time studying and doing manual labor (cultivating the garden in which he'll raise some of his food,) fishing and working on his art and science projects. He'll have one basic meal in the early afternoon.

To ·prepare himself physically - for the rigors of. the climb,Brother Carl spent six months making'solo climbs' for a few days at' a time among.the numer-ous peaks.of the,Chugach Range, (McKinley is in the Alaska .Range.) On. one of, those solo. climbs, the temperature dropped to 35 below zero. ' "The maximum' physical effort of the climb requires maximum ·mental effort to sustain one's will," Brother Carl said.

Helena Diocese Has New Newspaper' HELENA (N'Cj - The Helena diocese has 'begun publication of a new diocesan -newspaper, The WestMont Word. The paper replaces the western edition of the Montana Catholic Register, which had been a member of the National Register system. The WestMont Word is printed on a cooperative basis with the Inland Register, the paper of the Spokane, Wash., diocese. The two papers are printed at the same plant in Spokane and carry four pages in common each week, including NC News' Know Y,our Faith series.

LIBERTY (NC)-The next in a continuing' series of discussions between American Baptist and Roman Catholic officials is scheduled 1 for AprU '13-14 here in Missouri. Fifteen representatives of the U. S. bishops' committee for ecumenical and interreligious affairs and 15 from the American Baptist Convention's commission on Christian unity have been holding periodic meetings since 1967. Purpose of the talks, according to a progress report issued by both groups recently, is to "share with one another how we understand the Christian faith, its doctrines and certain specific issues from the point of view of 'our respective traditions." The' purpjose has not been, the report adds, "to press either for consensus or agreement."

·BARBARA WARD

the passing of the generationsall these were knit together in the seamless web of tribal life and people saw and felt and , spoke in the sense of the whole community. To this day, pockets of tribal life round the globe display this unity. To try to return to it is a , recurrent temptation to· philosophers-from Plato to Dr. B.F. Skinner-who see in the discipline of the all-embracing, all-. providing, all-directing community the safest way of dealing with unruly man. But "the ascending path" has taken other routes. Conquest enslaved some tribes and turned others into despots. Five thousand years ago, the great archaic civilizations based on water mariagement'"--of the'Nile,- of the Euphrates or the YeUow Riverdemanded such organization and such feats of engineering that people had to train and specialize - as bureaucrates, as dam builders, as surveyors. Trade spread from the villages, enriching the merchants. Radical Injustice Different degrees of wealth, power and education laid the basis of upper and lower social classes. The chief of a hunting clan could become a royal King,. ennobling his closest followers with land and with slave workers attached to the land to make it provide the daily bread of warriors and huntsmen. For four or five thousand years, despotic empires and feudal systems, waxing and waning with good leadership 'or bad luck, dominated the "developed" planet with colorful societies based on radical injustice, with luxury at the peak and slavery at the working base. But in the last two or three hundred years, the path has seemed to be taking a new twist. It is not that drudgery for the mass of the people and' extreme luxury for the minority have vanished. They continue. Indeed, the gap between the life-style of a . "middle management" American (let alone an American millionaire) and an unemployed casual laborer sleeping on the Calcutta pavement may well be as great; in physical terms, as between Pharoah and slave in ancient Egypt. The new fact is the profound conviction that the contrast, the inequality, the vast divergence of fortune, either for individuals

The sense of the human being's rights, either as an individual citizen or as member of a national community, has entered history. The human condition is not that of being swaUowed up in a wider coUectivity. It is not slavery or submission. It is "the glorious liberty of the sons of God,"

But the path humanity has been. foUowing recently .can be traced back to the furious moral, intellectual and spiritual energy of a single, smaU people, the people of Israel. It is in the Old Testament that we first hear the passionate denunciation of injustice and the claim that the least of the children of men enjoys equality in the sight of God. Mary, the mother of Jesus, spoke of "the mighty put down from their seats," Her son called himself "the Son of Man," His apostle Pa'ul denied that there could be any differences between male or female, Jew or Gentile, master or slave. AU were one in Christ. Here' is the leaven that has been. at work over the centuries, here the path ascending from slavery to the claim to freedom. And this "ascent," too, must be understood in the Paschal Mystery.

Because He Lives Easter and Christmas perhaps have more influence on our lives, as wen as on our society, than any' other Christian celebration. Each has its own spirit, customs, historical event to commemorate, religious and commercial observance, but each celebrates the one, most basic truth of our Faith-the one that gives meaning to -everything we say or do as Christians~the one that counts more than all religious or commercial customs . .

Jesus Christ lives' He lives today! Regardless of the difference among us; regardless of our search and struggles for meaningful ways of knowing and living our faith; regardless of our human frailties and mistakes; we Christians have meaning because He lives! Becauses He lives in of brothers and sisters; the communion in H,is guidance; and the peace

the Church, we are truly a community we have the assurance of His Word; Body and Blood; the' promise of His that only He can give.

Because He lives in each of us, we each have a mission to witness to that life In whatever life-style and life-situation we are found; whatever talents and responsibilities we have; whatever demands are made on our love. We have a special contribution to make to the world in which we live: our family, place of work, neighborhood, our circle of friends, our country and, yes, our world. Because He lives, we have a message of life, hope, peace and love to offer to the world: the Christian and the non-Christian; the rich and the poor; the old and the young; the oppressed and the oppressor. . Because He lives, we have missionaries in every walk ,of life serving in whatever way is needed to bring this Good News to others, especially and most needful of help.

Because the Mission-Church is poor and needs so great, and because 'we believe in the witness and service the missionary offers, we have the Society for the Propagation of the. Faith to help support these men and women in their wQrk for Christ. TQday, over 135,000 missionaries depend on this Mission-supporting Society to meet their most essential needs.

Who, or' what, killed Jesus Christ? ,Historically, a theocratic leadership in a state occupied by Rome,- decided that he had to die bescause his talk of freedom and kingdom had roused the people's hopes. , , Because Rome, was ready to cmsh brutally the first signs of revolt by'any subject people, the Jewish leaders decided that for the good of the people; this one' man must die. Thus motivated, were the high priests and leaders guilty, or tragically ~isled? Church teaching ,about the Lord's de'ath holds that the sin of all men collectively, killed him. Perhaps the prototype for this' concept is the behavior of the masses in, Jerusalem, who turned from exaltation on Palm Sunday to rejection on Good Friday, because Christ was not the bread and circuses, worldlypowerful type of Messiah they had expected. Christ, like the prophets before Him, strove to alter this cultural definition of Messiah: He demanded a deeper understanding of the "kingdom"; not a system where men could 'inflict 'injustice on their fellows 'as their worldly' power grew, while seeking holiness thmugh the performance of external rituals. Rather, the practice of love. social justice and simplicity of life would characterize the kingdom.

John Eppstein, former secretary of. the Atlantic Treaty Association, was received into the Catholic Church in his native England more than 50 years ago, when he was in his twenties.

"The liturgy is, a .public, social act of great value, proper to a community and governed by a common law." Private prayer, on the other hand, is the prayer we make "in our private rooms." This book is the fruit of some. years spent as pastor of a tiny parish on a tiny island off the English coast. There Father Basset did what he calIs field work in prayer, testing various theories "This book," he says, "is based on experiments and offers personal solutions, helpful to others only if they fit."

Spiritual Values Perhaps, however, their greatest problem will be that of convincing all Catholics that educa" tion with a Christian dimension is important. In an age 'that has glorified lUXUry and monetary . success, the cultivation of spiritual values is frequently left to chance. This is tragic. Massive indifference as to what values are being transferred to youth can only lead to catastrophe in the ranks of the Catholic people. To take just one .small item, Catholics must see that Catholic education is vital. The beautiful learning 'experience of the liturgy will be lost on the next generation unless youth is educated to appreciate the lesson. Liturgy will become mere pageantry _ cold and museum-like in nature. So will schools become mere warehouses of secular information if· . the Christian dimension is missing, or they will, at best, convey the values of secular humanism. In either case, both the individual and society at large will suffer a loss.-

"The United States has told those who inquire that we have J":l plans to return the crown to the government of Hungary," said White House deputy press secretary Gerald L. Warren. He said he could not be more specific. It was reported in November that the cardinal, who ended 15 years of self-exile i.n the U. S. embassy in Budapest last September, had written to Nixon to ask that the crown· not be,released to Hungary's communist . rulers. Hungarian tradition maintains. that leadership of the country ,belongs to -the possessor of the crown. Lack of the crown, however, does not seem to have shaken the communists' control of the country, but the Hungarian government has resumed requests that the crown be returned to Hungary. The crown, originally be-

stowed on King Stephen Hungary in 1000 A.D. by Sylvester II was given, other Hungarian national

sures, to U. S. Army officers in May, 1945. It has been kept in a pjace undisclosed by U. S. officials.

Bishop Asks Catholics, Jews Ap'ply Morality Norms to Social Issues BROOKLYN (NC) - Bishop Francis J. Mugavero, head of the 1.5~million member diocese of Brooklyn, called upon Catholics and Jews here to translate "into ,reality" the norms of morality that apply to such issues as racism, education and housing. In a discussion of current topics that have made headlines in New YOl'k, he told 500 persons at the Union Temple of Brooklyn that religious leaders should practice what they preach in 'social justice. The bishop is a member of the American bish-' ops' 'ecumenical and interreligious affairs committee.

The annual gathering was sponsored jointly by the diocese and the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'nth, whose representati"pc; together form a Catholic~ Jewish relations committee of the two faiths here.

"It is through courageously

teaching and acting in the name of social justice," he said, "that the Church and Synagogue can move to make peace real in ,our· ' time. "We have a particular, responsibility' to form 'the con· science of. our laity so they can apply their professional and technical competence to the reshaping of the institutions of our society." Bishop Mugavero said religious people should take a major role in "welcoming, and joining minorities in integrating neighborhoods." The bishop listed among "controversial and complex" con· cerns the high cost of care for 'the aged, the Catholic school crisis, the housing problems, the high unemployment: rate in New York City's poverty areas, and f~deral welfare legislation.
