BOSTON (NC) - Arch bishop Igino Cardinale, apos oolic delegate to Great Brit· ~in, told an audience here (lhat Pope Paul VI did not mean ~ include conscientious objec tors in a criticism of pacifists ,ll!e made last Dec. 8. Addl'essing participants in the evening session of a Boston College symposium on the Vat ~n and Peace, Archbishop Car dinale speaking of the Dec. 8 talk, said: "In the same message Pope Paul distinguishes peace from llJacifism. It is obvious that it is not his intention to condemn pacifism as such, but particular lI'onns of pacifism, such as he descl·jbes, .which encourages citizens to shrink from their etivic responsibilities through oowardice or lack of due con oorn. "Paul was well aware of what Vatican II had declared with regard to conscientious objec ~ors: that it seems right that laws make humane provisions for the case of those who for reasons of conscience refuse to bear arms, provided however ~hey accept some other form of oervice to the human commu llIlity." Important Pari The papal message, wi4ely repol-ted around the world, eaused an uproar when it ap peared. Many felt that Pope Paul had betrayed the spirit of the Second Vatican Council's otatement on conscientious ob jectors, while others used the papal remark as an indication that pacifism could not coexist with Catholicism. Emphasizing his explanation ~ the remark by notifying re porters that half-page was one of the most important parts of his 36-page addres~, Archbishop Cal'dinale pointed out that few men could match Pope Paul in the earnestness of their search iilor peace.

The statement was the first Catholic reaction since Cey ionese church jurisdiction over the 105,OOO-square-yard island located midway between the two eountries was cited in support of Ceylon's ownership of it.

The first time it was used, with 20 })nests concdebrating the Mass, "at Communion time, the people were laughing and cr~ring at the same time. When we left the altar, they stood up and cheered for joy." To Father Coleman, 37, His 10 years in Japan were says.

Today, the neighborl:1ood sur rounding the Center - which technically is part of St. James Parish-is seeing a new flood of newcomers pour in, this time ,families of Portuguese extrac tion. Father Coleman; however, emphasizes that regardless of their nationality, his new parish ioners are "Americans first." He doesn·t let them or anyone else forget it. Since he took over the 'Cent~r a month ago, its momentum has picked up. Homework'Session Father Coleman has establish ed tutorial classes for young sters who have completed the non-English speaking program in the ci ty schools and now are moving into regular classes. He has organized a "home work" session, to give neigh

school work and to impress on them the value of education.
His staff is comprised of vol un teer teachers, including nuns from St, Anne School. He celebrates MasS a,t the Center on Sundays and on Wed nesday nights. "My first Sun da~' there were 23 people.

Tsuchiura itself, he adds, was a city of about 180,000. "We had , 40 Catholic families." Why the low ratio? Not a Package Because for too many years, he theorizes, missionaries tried to tie Christianity and Western culture together in a package. "And they aren't a package." He also was principal of a s eve n - teacher kindergarten where J a pan e s e youngsters, learned English at an astound 'ing pace. "We had visitors from the Embassy one day," he recalls witti a grin. "The ambassador's wife walk ed in 'and was greeted in Eng lish by a little girl. "Welcome, and how are you?" she asked. ';Fine, thank you," the ambas sador's wife replied. "And how are you?" "Fine, think you, we are, too." the child answered. "That's good," said the ambas sador's wife. "Unfortunately," Father Cole man says, "that wasn't what she was supposed to say, so our prize student was stymied." At first, when English lessons began, he explained, "we had just 10 minutes. But they picked it up so fast, we went to 35 minutes. "We used a lot of gimmicks, broke it up every few minutes with songs, They could sing 20 American songs when I left." Hot Dogs To help speed the English learning process, the mother of each kindergarten had to come for an hour's English lesson once a week, so she could con tinue English at home.

DENVER (NC) - The presi dent of Boston College said here Catholic liberal arts colleges must transforlTI themselves in to "organic, participating cells, active in the struggle to improve the cities' health with all the educational resources at their command." Father Michael P. Walsh, S,J., speaking at Regis College here, said this is one of the chal lenges facing Catholic liberal arts colleges in the nation today. The modern Catholic college, he asserted has growing awareness of the new challenges facing it. Father Walsh said "every school in a modern metropolis must not merely be open to the community in which it lives, but 'each must actively reach out into city life in a genuinely help ful way. And as it reaches out, not only will its relationship to the community change, but the nature of the college will change." Father Walsh was the princi pal speaker at installation cere monies for Father Louis G. Mat tione, S.J., new president of Regis College.
Press Continues In Toils of Law MADRID (NC)-The difficul ties of Spanish Catholic' publi cations with the government continue unabated in a seem ingly intenninable series of sei zures and denunciations. The Bulletin of HOAC, the national commission of the Workers Brotherhood of Cath olic Action, has again felt the heavy hand of the government. The ministry of Information has confiscated all copies of the latest edition of the Bulletin. The reason given for the latest confiscation is "delictive material," or contents In viola tion of the country's laws. The specific material in question was an article entitled "Chris tianity and Revolution," by Father Jose Maria Gonzalez Ruiz of Malaga. The current. Spanish press . law permits the government to confiscate any published mate rial that is presumed to be "delictive'" and subject to judg ment by a court. The government has also coo . fiscated some editions of the Juventud Obrera, organ of the Catholic Young Women Work ers' organization. It has also seized the latest edition of the review.
and a half drive, would invite his Christian and non-Christian neighbors alike to a barbecue. He noticed one night that one guest was not eating. "Don't you like it?" Father asked the man. "I think it is very good," the man replied. "But I cannot eat, because my heart is full." "Mine was, too, when I heard that," Father Coleman recalls. He learned another Japanese tradition by mistake. He was conducting a Requiem Mass for a parishioner one .day in a home in 'a small village. After he got the small altar set up, Father explains, "I washed my hands in a bowl of water." The crowd filling the room had been chattering and laugh ing. When Father finished wash ing his hands, however, and be gan the Mass, there was dead si lence. Later, a friE:nd explained it. . "In Japan," h.e said, "you wash your hands to get your heart ready." Eventually, Father built a
'small water font in front of the
church. Parishioners attending Mass would stop there to wash
their hands. Non-Christians pass ing by also would stop for a hand-washing session: "Then they would bow toward the church and clap their hands before continuing on their way." This, says Father, is the way you learn things. After 10 years in his Japanese mission, Father Coleman's heart is with his Japanese people. So M~my Things Currently, however, he does not have time to acutely miss them because he is too busy helping his new parishioners. There are so many things to be done, he mutters, as he zips from one project to another with an overpowering energy. He has been at Regina Pacis
only a little more than a month.
Already things have changed there. What will it be like 'after he has had a year to "straighten out things"? Only the Lord knows.

First Obvious ,,':. To Clergy
Priests Who Leave
PARAMUS (NC)-Clergy-. men may be among the first people to become aware- of suicidal tendencies in others.
The, National Association for Pastoral Renewal has
issued a report saying that 228 priests left their priestly
work in 1966 and 480 in 1967.
Several ~omments may be. made on this survey. It is presumed that the report is, correct. There is no point in bringing this up except for the fact that the Association has not always presented itself in the best light. At a Notre Dame meeting year ago, one of its priest-members argued for the removal of celibacy from the priesthood. Then 'it was announced some weeks later that this priest had already been living in a marriage for a year: The objectivity of his argUI:nentation could thus hardly be taken for granted. In another case several priests reported to' their bishop-one far removed from this locale -that their names had been listed as members of the As sociation while in fact, they never belonged. "
,/
",
,.~';f"""""",l'i\I:'\\l.
,::~:~.
a
But let it be assumed that '.the report is correct. It· ::ineaps ,that less than one~half. ,of one ,per cent of the na.,. tion'.s priests left their work in 1966, and, that slightly more' than one-half of one' per cent left in 1967. While each priest is an individual and each leaving of. the priest hood involved personal tragedy and some amount of, shock to the community, the number of those who leave must always be seen against the background of the vast, the 'overwhelming majority of those who are doing their work as 'priests. ' '" Further, while it is quite possible to understand that an ordained priest might come toa decision to leave his' priestly work, there are ways this can be done without shock to the people of God for whom there must always be concern. Calling a press conference, decrying the, hard heartedness of· bishops throwing darts of malice at other priests, attacking the Church work and age~cies that are being sincerely carried on by others-all this smacks more of the child's' kicking' down someone else's sand castle than the grave decision of a mature man. If a priest feels that he can no longer do the work of the priesthood lie can approach his bishop with this .decision - and the,re is' no bishop in the country who would not be made fearful and become helpful confronted with such a decision and such a man. Arrangements can be made for the priest to leave his work and an appeal made to the Holy Father for this man's laicization. This can all be done with dignity, and with due concern for the people of God. The tabloid-type treatment can upset people to such a degree that they can begin ques tioning faith and the basic spiritual values of life. Maybe they should not make such an unwarranted jump from one man's action- to their~ own spiritual equanimity but they do. And it would be'a poor observer o~ human ,nature who would say otherwise.

SAIGON (NC)-Two French Benedictine priests whose cap ture by the Viet Cong near Hue was reported earlier have been killed by them, acording to word received here. The body of Father Urbain David, O.S.B., was found in a common grave with six others. Ail were bound and in a stand ing position. Father David's body was later reburied by Benedic tine priests and brothers. Father Guy de Compiegne, O.S.B., was· shot by the Viet Cong, according to villagers. His' body has not been found yet. Both priests, wearing their black religious habits, left their monastery at Thien An, about four miles south of Hue when heavy bombardment forced the entire community and the ref ugees they were sheltering to disperse and flee. Viet Cong soldiers firing from .inside the monastery, including its church, had drawn U.S. artillery fire on the building. Two other Benedictine priests were wounded, Fathers Camaign. a frenchman, and Thaddeus, a Vietnamese. The monastery and its installations and equipment were destroyed.

Prelate Praeses Home Missioners CINCINNATI (NC) - The work of the Glenmary Home Missioners is "in total accord with the ideals of missionary work" spelled out by the Sec ond Vatican Council. Msgr. Edwrad T. O'MeaJ'a, national director of the Societ.y for the Propagation of the Faith, paid this tribute to the Glen mary Fathers at the 24th annu al dinner of the Cincinnati Glenmary Guild: Msgr. O'Meara said their work was "of singular impor tance'" because "so many of our fellow Americans have not heard in any meaningful way t.he teaching of Christ." . Reporting on the progress ox the Glenmary Home Missioners, Father Robert C, Berson, supe rior general, said the society has III men fully engaged in "this very specialized apostol ate." He also noted that 60 more arc preparing for careers wit.h Glenmary and that six young men are expected to be ordained within a few weeks. Although 17 are scheduled to ent.er the novitiate this year, he acknowledged that "we are heading for some lean years, as religious vocations generally lll'e declining." In the past year the society hilS opened three new missions -two in south-central Tennes see and one in southern Geor gia. "And in Georgia last year we achieved the society'S ulti mate aim," Father Berson said, "when the Savannah diocese and t.he Glenmary officials agreed that their Statesbore> mission was ready to be taken over by the diocese."

Ask Broad. Stud.y
Of Newmon Role
SAN ANTONIO (NC) - A comprehensive study of the role of the Newman apostolate on secular campuses throughout Texas was recommended at a seminar here attended by more than 100 Newman leaders. The chaplains, professors and students voted to ask the Texas Catholic Conference that "a com prehensive statewide study be made by competent sociologists and educators to determine the needs and attitudes 00' students, administrators and faculties on the secular campus; what the Church can contribute to the sec ular college or university; and how it can best serve both the students and the institutions themselves." The recommendation acknowl edged that such a study may be difficult, but added: "Without it, the Newman .apostolate is working in the dark, at a loss to know what. it should be doing for the more than 32,000 Catholic students at secular col leges in Texas, to say nothing of some 241,000 non-Catholic stu dents atthese colleges." The resolution also noted that "there is general agreement only on t\1e proposition that the New man clubs of the past are of little or no value today and that existing programs conducted by Newman centers-even the best -are woefully hiadequate." The resolution was endol1l'ed .enthusiastically by Father Alois Goertz, chaplain of the Antonio College Catholics Students Cen ter which hosted the meeting..

Lutherans Meet
With Catholics
NEW YORK (NC)-Lutheran and Catholic theologians meet ing here on the subject of inter communion declared at the close of their conversations tnat any consensus on the contro versial issue must awai,t a deep er study of the "entire problem of the ministry." A joint statement issued by the conferees said intercommu nion was chosen as the topic of the consultation because an earlier -report drawn up by the group on the Eucharist "ac knowledged intercommunion to be one of the pressing and as yet unresolved problems de manding further discussions." The talks marked the begin ning of the fourth year of theo logical discussion between mem bers of the two churches. Co sponsors of thji' conversations are the National Committee of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Catholic Bish ops' committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs (BCEIA). Twenty - three participants took part in the conversations, including first-time delegate Father Bernard Law, new di rector of the BCEIA. The ses sions were cut short a day be cause one of the four scheduled position papers was not deliv ered. In their six meetings over the past four years, Lutheran and Catholic theologians have de voted a total of 16 days to doc trinal discussions on the Nicene Creed, Baptism, the Eucharist, and intercommunion.
Rabbi Leaments Prelate's Death NEW YORK (NC) - Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, interreli gious affairs director of the American Jewish Committee, expressed his grief here on the' death of Archbishop Paul J. Hal linan of Atlanta. The rabbi said in a statement that the death of Archbishop Hallinan "fills us with a pro found sense of grief. The Amer ican Jewish Committee had been privileged to be associated with Archbishop Hallinan in a num ber of projects devoted to the advancement of Jewish-Christi an understanding, and had come to know him as a great and warmhearted human being. "His personal leadership at Vatican Council II, in support of the declaration on non-Chris tian religions and other progres sive causes, both in the Catholic Church and on the American scene, have won for him the in delible reputation of a coura geous and prophetic spirit whose memory will be forever cherish ed by those who were privileged to know him. "The greatest tribute that we ean pay to his memory is to continue to devote ourselves to the realization of the objectives of universal peace, freedom and justice, for which his whole life etood as a brilliant testament."

Cautions Against Cynica$mJ'aoDespair I
WASHINGTON (NC) A prominent Anglican theologian . said here that modern man'll basic problem is to face the facts of his situation honestly, without falling into cynicism or despair.

Baltimore is the only city that restricts this progarQ\ to urban 'll'enewal areas, Cleveland's May or Carl B. Stokes said. With the area restriction, only a few eld; ecly tamilies have been able . to lUnd housing under the progam.

This brief success story is a young man's description of how II gl"Oup of five seminarians from St. Louis known as the Montfort Singers broke into show business. Shori Haircuts They were in New York, not to knock on doors, but to re hearse for their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on Easter Sunday. The quintet, with short hair
cuts, are seminarians in the
Montfort Missionaries. They are seniors at St. Louis University and they are all under 23 ex. cept' for one venerable Navy veteran of 26. In Founder's Footsteps The three songwriters, John
,O'Reilly, Paul Baker, the solo ist, and Joe Valentine met Jack Coyne and ex-Navy man Don Middendorf while novices in . Indiana. In their own words they "began· fooling around
wi til guitars and folk songs." They have been singing to gether for three years in high schools, on street comers and for bar 'mitzvahs. They have been on TV ~fore, on the Merv Griffin Show and the Mike Douglas Show. Today, along with 45 other Montfort Brothers, they live in four shabby flats in the slums of St.. Louis. They commute to classes, at the university but spend " the rest of their time !}elping the' poor, living as neighbors available when needed-and singing. They are following in the footsteps of their founder St. Louis de Montfort who was a singer and song writer himself and who 200 years ago worked with the poor and was involved in communication._

Continued from Page One equal to the actual cost of op erating the school. Tuition for non-parishioners must be high er, it was felt, but since a high er cost would be absorbed by the parents alone-and lIlot by the parish sending the children -a higher tuition would dis courage non-parishioners. It was felt that non-parish ioners should pay the same tui tion as parishioners with their parishes paying the balance of of the per pupil cost to the school. ' Thus parishes without schools would be spbsidizing the educa tion of 'their children just as parishes with schools do <llt present. Special Collections Various approaches to special collections for the support of the schools have been attempted. There was considerable success here with the education of chil dren looked, upon as the finan cial responsibility of the entire parish rather than of thc par ents alone. Paying Ability There was consider3ble dis agreement among the pastors as to the ability of their parish ioners to pay tuition. Some pastors who were charging little or no tuition fclt that if they were to institute a system of paying tuition, a large num ber of students would withdraw. Others felt that this is not the case, but that the people have to be "sold" the value of Catholic education as something worth paying for. In general, people will begin to believe they are poor if they are con stantly reminded of it, it was P9inted out. One pastor expl3incd that he does not believe in an automatic reduction of tuition for several children in a family, but gives .this only to families who ask for it or who obviously need it. There was no correlation be tween the pastors' views on the acceptability of tuition and the relative wealth of the area served by the parish. Consider able discrepancies exist be tween neighboring or over lapping parishes. The practice of charging tuition seemed to be more a matter of personal opinion with the pastor than of the actual condition of his parish. It was pointed out that schools which serve a majority of poor people cannot depend entirely on the parish for sup port but must receive some support from the entire C:ltholic community.

Catholic education, and a de sire to maintain it at practically any cost. Financial System One manual for school ac counting should be used by all so as to better analyse school costs, compare costs with other parishes and generally establish the actual cost of op eration. ~ Uniform Support One half of the operational cost of the school should be supplied by tuition frilm indi vidual students and the other half of the school costs should be borne by _ parish income. No child should be excluded from a Catholic school because of finances. Therefore, certain adjustments in ,tuition will have. to be made for large families and poor families but the basic standard of a tuition of $50 per student should be established as soon as possible. NOIil-Parish Studelllts Children from neighboring parishes without schools should be expected to pay no more than the established $50 tuition. The difference between this fee and the actual per pupil cost of operating the school should be paid directly to the school by the parish from which the child comes. For the present, the par ish without the· school should be expected to pay $50 per parishioner-pupil to the parish operating the school.
