Advises Youths Turn Off Drugs; Turn On Christ ROME (NC) - Turn off drugs and turn on Christ, the cardinal vicar of Rome told young Romans., Cardinal Angelo dell'Acqua, who governs the diocese of Rome in the Pope's name, also told young Romans that violence is no solution to the nation's ills. The cardinal's thoughts were contained in a letter March 20 inviting the youth of Rome to Pope Paul's Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on Palm Sunday, March 26, a traditional meeting of youths with the Pope. The cardinal said he is saddened that "unspeakable per. sons" are pushing drugs among youths. "Drugs can momentarily excite you," he said, "but then leave you without a will, destroy soul and body, and deprive you of your hallmarks, vivacity and enthusiasm." . Mandate of Love ' Physical and moral health, he inssted, are requisites for the battle if youths are to help right the nation's wrongs. Pursuing the mandate of your love given us by Christ, the cardinal said, is the only way that "this ,society of ours, torn by hatred and lack of understanding, can come back to a new 'life, a new resurrection." The 68-year-old cardinal,who has been ill the past several months, added this personal touch: "I say these things to you, young Romans, in all simplicity and love. I say them because for us, who are entering the twi,light of our lives, you represent all we have that is most beautiful, serene, pure and enthusiastic." Traditionally, youths of Rome flock by the thousands to St. Peter's for the Pope's Mass. Last year, Pope Paul commiserated with youthful protests against injustices in Italy, but urged good order in that protest. . , Sacrifice, Renunciatlon In his letter of invitation tl;tis year Cardinal Dell'Acqua echoed those sentiments of Pope Paul b'y asserting: "Denounce indeed the injustices that are still too widespread, b~t remember that the family, the school, organizations and society itself are not reclaimed by noisy and violent . demonstrations ... but by doing one's duty with sacrifice and renunciation. "Fight back, youth of Rome, shake off those who urged you to struggle and use violence. These things never built anything. They have only destroyed." The light from Christ's Resurrection, the cardinal said, will show the way to be followed to overcome the conflicts and evils of the time.

Tells Policemen To Love People TORONTO (NC) - The most important qualification of a policeman is that he love the people, Archbishop Philip Pocock of Toronto told a Communion, breakfast of Catholic officers of the Metro Toronto Police Association. The archbishop said the police motto "to serve and protect" was also applicable to himself and his priests. He explained, however, thatit is impossible to serve unless one loves the people, and -this love flows from each man's love of God. Admitting that this can be very difficult at times-a difficulty that he said policemen have in common with priestshe said the answer is to love people in God and because God loves them. He said that qualities of fortitude, patience and courage are required in both police and priests. "These qualities must shine in us before the people and I believe they do," he said. The archbishop also congratulated Metro Police Chief Harold Adamson and his men on the safety of city streets and the courtesy of police.

Priest Was Spiritual Guide ROME (NC) - Italy's most popular television priest, Capuchin Father Mariano of Turin, died here recently at age 65, and was praised by Pope Paul VI for his "persuasive defense of Christian teaching and mprality.." The Capuchin's chE:!~rfulsmile, bursting out from the thick beard he' wore-and apparently never trimmed-was an inescapable feature of the 'television landscape. His Franciscan greeting, "Peace and Goodness!" became a byword. His regular chats on illness and everyday pain, on man's perennial struggle with self, prompted thousands to visit him personally at the Capuchin friary on Rome's garish Via Veneto. He rivaled his fellow Italian Capuchin,' the late Padre Pio, as a personal guide for men and women in distress. 'Sense of Certainty' "He welcomed you as if you were his brother or his sister, as if nothing in the world mattered except your story, your sorrow, the pain had to be eased," one noted Italian woman writer recalled: . "He gave you the sense of a certainty, his certainty, in a world of wobbly values." In the Fall of 1940, Father

Mariano-then Paolo Roasenda -was a 34-year-old teacher of classical languages at one of Rome's better secondary schools. In the room of a colleague he picked up a book on the life of a little kn,own saint, Ignatius of Laconi, and within a few months followed the saint into the CaDuchin order. Father Mariano first went before the television' cameras in 1955 on orders from his superiors, and he soon became a national figure. Curious Parallel His importance might be gauged from the fact that when one of his telecasts ran five minutes short, formal questions were raised in both houses of the Italian parliament. Perhaps a truer index of his status is the fact that he, along with such diverse figures as Jacqueline Onassis, Sophia Loren and president of the republic Giovanni Leone, was impersonated on television by Italy's astonishing mimic, Alighiero Nosciese. There was a curious parallel between the life of Father Mariano, the son of an illustrious judge, and the life of the ~ustic 18th-century St. Ignatius of Laconi, who inspired him to be-

come a Capuchin. Both entered the Capuchin order with every expectation of a hidden life; yet both became celebrated throughout Italy as counselors and guides to high and low.

WASHINGTON (NC)-People are usually ahead of governments in helping migrants and refugees, a migration expert said here, summing up his observations . in critical migration areas in Latin America. Msgr. Georges Rochcau cited as an example the generosity of doctors and nurses at hospitals in Venezuelan border towns who have been giving free treatment to migrants from neighboring Colombia. ' Msgr. Rochcau, director of the French Catholic Charities organization, spent five weeks in Venezuela and Colombia at the request of Catholic Charities of both countries, which are concerned about the plight of some 500,000. Colombian migrants, most of them in Venezuela illegally.

Most Religious orders decided in the 'past that retirement ex-, pense be borne by nuns teaching in schools and that cost was added to school expense. "It's hitting hard. because of the large, number of presently retired Sisters and Brothers," he said. In at least one state, attempts are being made to raise money from other sources for ,retirement programs. He said he was '''quite hopeful" that some kind of federal aid to private schools will be instituted.

As to prospects for passage of such a' bill, he said "you never know." , "I think there may be a 51 percent chance."

THE ANC~OR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. April 6, 1972

Pope Hails Zeal of Cardinal VATICAN CITY' (NC)-Pope Paul V,I hailed the "untiring zeal and pastoral love" of exiled Hungarian Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty on the cardinal's 80th birthday. The Pope's birthday greetings were expressed in a Latirt letter sent to the cardinal, who is now living in Vienna. He left Hungary last September at thespecifie urging of Pope Paul. The Papal letter said the cardinal had made unflagging daily efforts for his flock and had put his trust in the Lord. In passing the 80th milestone

on March 29, the cardinal automatically is no longer' eligible to take part in the election of the next Pope. He retains the title of cardinal and is still listed by the Vatican as archbishop of Esztergom the primatial See of Hungary. The archdiocese is currently governed by an apostolic administrator under the jurisdiction of the Vatican. Vatican Radio reported that on his birthday Cardinal Minds· zenty celebrated Mass surround~ ed by a few friends .and assistants at his residence in Vienna.

.Approve ,First Nonpublic School Aid ~ill FRANKFORT (NC)-The Kentucky legislature has approved for the first time in its history a state' aid program which will in'directly benefit nonpublic elementary and secondary schools. Passed shortly before the legislature adjourned until its next scheduled session in 1974. the aid bill would grant parents a tax credit of up to $10 annually for tuition costs at either public or nonpublic schools. The bill originally provided a tax credit of up to $50. but Gov. Wendell' Ford of Kentucky objected, citing insufficient funds in the budget to allow for rev-

enues the state would lose through the tax credits, an estimated $2.8 million. The compromise bill, amended to $10, now awaits the gover-' nor's signature, but it automatically becomes law 10 days after its approval by the legislature even if it remains unsigned. Also passed during this legislative session was a measure providing tuition and fee grants to needy students in the state's private college. A token appropriation of $2500 was attached to the college aid bill. Because of the Kentucky constitution, which says no state

educational funds, can be used by church-related schools, both aid programs will probably have to pass constitutionality tests in state courts 'before the legislature approves more substantial funding.

Pope Says Haiti Catholics Desire Religious Liberty VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI told Haiti's new ambassador to the Vatican that the Catholics of Haiti "ask nothing else, as you know, tha'n to enjoy religious liberty." His words drew special meaning from a sad history of th~ expulsion of priests during the regime of Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, the late president for life of Haiti. Catholics want religious liberty, the Pope said "so they can make their faith bloom and can live their engagement, aided by their pastors whether native born or missionary." Ambassador Francois Guillaume presented to Pope Paul "the filial good wishes of his excellency, Mr. Jean-Claude Duvalier, president for life of the Republic of Haiti, for your personal health and happiness as as well as for the ever increasing spread of. the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church." Jesuits Expelled Jean-Claude Duvalier became president of Haiti after his father's death in April 1971. In 1964, three years after Francois Duvalier's election to the presidency and the very year he was declared president for -life, all Jesuits were expelled from Haiti. An agreement between Church and state was reached in 1966 and allowed the return of Coadjutor Bishop Remi Augustin of Port-de-Paix. But in 1969 10 other priests, all Haitians, were expelled. At that same time some missionary priests left the country out of solidarity with their expelled colleagues.

Commission Seeks Nuns' Suggestions WASHINGTON. (NC) - In its first action, the newly formed Special Commission for Contemplative Nuns in the United States decided to ask contemplative Religious women to submit suggestions or recommendations. Cardinal John Carberry of St. Louis is chairman of the comwission which was established by the Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes. The commission held its first meeting in Washington, D.C., and plans to meet .again during the meeting of the U. S. bishops in Atlanta in April. In a letter to the contemplative nuns, Cardinal Carberry said that consultation will be sought from the religious women themselves and that the Commission will also enlist the assistance of qualified religious' men considered to be experts in various areas. Members of the Special Commission, in addition to Cardinal Carberry, are: Archbishop Leo C. Byrne of St. Paul-Minneapolis; Bishop James J. Byrne of Dubuque, Iowa; Bishop William W. Baum of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Auxiliary Bishop Edward J. Herrmann of Washington; Auxiliary 'Bishop Martin N. Lohmuller of Philadelphia, and Auxiliary Bishop John J. Ward of Los Angeles.'

Jesus Mary Religious Discuss New Avenues Of Apostolic Action at Fall River Parley "Choose tife!"-that was the challenge and the theme of the keynote address as the Religious of Jesus and Mary of the American Province met for the second session of their Provincial Chapter. The parley was held at the Jesus Mary Mission Center in Fall River and it was the first such to be conducted in New England. Mother Mary Catherine Kenny, provincial superior, delivered the opening address, urging all of the 300 religious in the province to respond generously to the needs of the world today and to be, in Pope Paul's words, "at the pinnacle of the social conscience." Forty-nine elected members from all over the country and 60 observers from various houses of the order in New· England were present at the conference held March 24-28. Other general chapters have been held in Hyattsville, Md., where the provincialate is located. The next will be scheduled sometime within the next six years. Purpose of the chapter, which met under the presidency of Mother Catherine, was to discuss and discern methods of implementing the directives or' the congregation's General Chapter which had met earlier in Rome, Italy. The elected members of the congregation formed part of several commissions which had previously spent much time in studying the new directions. Some of the topics discussed by the various commissions included spirituality, community life style, retirement and health, . government, apostolic mission and religious dress. Vote on Proposals After discussicm, many of the requests and observations submitted to the chapter by the nuns were formulated into proposals. These proposals were voted upon by chapter members at the final session; approbation for their implementation will come from the congregation's generalate in Rome. Attending the sessions from the mission center' in Fall River were Sister Gertrude Belanger, a member of the chapter, who is

Favors Bill to Aid Family Farmers , WASHINGTON (NC) - A bill designed to aid family farmers was favored in testimony by the co-director of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference. Father John J. McRaith told a House subcommittee that land reform proposed in the Family Farm Act is inevitable. "The question is whether we will enact legislation ... or will we wait until people demand reform in a bloody and destructive manner," Father McRaith said in a statement to the subco'mmittee. The bill would prevent conglomerates - large corporations which control a variety of businesses - from owning large tracts of farm land, Father McRaith said. The conglomerates, he said, could soon control all of agriculture.

REV. MOTHER CATHERINE coordinator of the mission center and principal 'of Notre Dame Elementary 'School; and Sister Helen Scarry, an accessory member, who is head of the religion department at Bishop Gerrard High School. The sesssions "ended on a tre· ' rllendous note of hope."accordtng to the sisters who were there. That hope represents a projection of the spirit inherent in the new apostolates undertaken during the past year by the Jesus and Mary nuns here. There are 31 sisters in the Fall River house which wiis founded in 1887. Jesus Marie Convent functioned also as a private girls' high school until 1971 when the last class was graduated from the academy and it merged with two others into Bishop Gerrard High 'School. Now Jesus Mary and the other convents of the order have adopted the name mission center to indicate the variety of work and services which the sisters are attempting to perform. In addition to teaching, which the religious continue to do at Notre Dame Elementary School and at Bishop Gerrard, where three of the sisters are assigned, members of the order have started apostolates to which they believe they are' suited and for which there are needs. Their projects include home visitations of the sick and elderly, a tutorial program, sewing, and music lessons. Hub of Activities The former JMA has become a CCD center from which many have gone out to other parishes as teachers; a center for C Y 0 meetings and events and a hub of parish activities. The audi-

Seek Russian Athletes' Aid

RICHMOND (NC)-A Jewish organization wants Russian athletes visting here' tc tell their government that Americans are deeply concerned over Soviet treatment of religious minorities in general and Jews in particular. The Richmond Jewish Community Council took a threecolumn advertisement in the Richmond Times-Dispatch to get its message to the Soviet track team in Richmond's Coliseum. The ad, entitled "Welcome, Russian Athletes!," was signed by Samuel S. Wurtzel, president of the Jewish Community Council. "As Americans, and as Jews," the ad said, "we urge the Russia guests to convey to their government and to their leaders our deep concern over the lack of religious freedom afforded to Roman Catholic and Protestant citizens of the Soviet Union, but particularly the religious freedom of the Jewish citizens of Russia," the advertisement said. "Because of their convictions," the ad continUed. "Jewish citizens of the Soviet Union are fired from their jobs and often they are imprisoned. Such treatment is repugnant to the people of Richmond and· of Virginia, where religious and personal freedoms have been practiced since the founding of the Repub· Iic. "

The family of incumbent president Anastasio Somoza has ruled Nicaragua since 1936. The Church in Nicarague, said Bishop Vega, no longer condones the elitist idea of "a nation run from the top . . . The nation is the people."

Six Thou1san,d Jigsaw Bits Add to Famil'y Confusion

Couple Says Nation With Death Philosophy Cannot Long Survive

I have a terrible addiction for jigsaw puzzles. ' When I was a kid, the best part about· being sick was staying under the covers, having my mother bring down a big table that fit ov~r the bed, and making jigsaw puzzles for hours on end. I loved them so much that it the childrep. would love them. But my kids are nuts: They was hardly worth recoverset up the old card table, and ing, especially if it was a started on the first.

But as I grew older, r put away the things of children ... and started to have chIldren. They played with simple tr.ay puzzles and I forgot about the big 1000 piece ones that I had played with as a child. One night I left my mother babysitting while I went to the hospital to visit one of my sons who was awaiting a hernia oper,ation the next morning. When I returned, I assured my ,mother that he was fine ... and she assured me that he would be fine. Then she handed me a paper bag that she had brought with her. "Thought you might enjoy this tonight." In the bag was one of my favorite puzzles she had saved from years ago. And she was right. Anxious about the youngster I .had left in the hospital, I found it difficult to sleep ... and spent hours into the night making the puzzle. Inherited Addiction Now, as my children have gotten a little older, they have inherited the addiction. The trouble is that every time I'm working on one, the finky kids come along ... and they can do them so much faster than I, it's unnerving. Some weeks ago a friend mentioned that she had half a dozen big jig saw puzzles that she no longer used. If I wanted them for the children, I was welcome to them. I didn't tell her I wanted them for myself, and assured her

Little Progress Wearies Workshop Participants NEW YORK (NC)-A growing ,weariness with repeated prayers for unity in the face of ilimited .progress was reflected in the closing session of the seventh annual Workshop on Chrisitian Unity here. Again and again, in the finai session of the three-day meeting, participants in the ecumenical gathering voiced their frustrations and "the agony of our brokenness." Theme of this year's gathering was "The Ministry of Reconciliation and the Reconciliation of Ministries." Theologically, the frustration seemed to focus most sharply on on the .inability of Christians from varying traditions to share in the Eucharist.

It puts the number of baptized' Catholics in the world at 633 million, almost 18 per cent of the global population of about 3.6 billion. The Americans' have the biggest percentage of Cath, olics in the population: 55 per cent. Europe has 38 per cent, Oceania 23 per cent, Africa 11 per cent'and Asia' 2 per cent. About one-fifth otthe world's, 190,000 parishes are priestless. There were about 425,000 priests in the world in 1960. In that year 5,156 priests were ordained and 5,014 died, but 1,700 diocesan priests alone left the active min,istry. The number of Religious order priests to return to secular life was n6tgiven in L'Osservatore della Domenica's. sum!Dary..

The concert was performed in the papal audience hall by "The Marching Kings," the band of' Bishop Kearney High School of Rochester, N.Y., which arrived for the audience :with tubas, trumpets, and other instruments. A papal aide said the medley of American tunes won an "ex-traordinary enthusiastic recep-' tion" from the thousands present for the audience, who applauded and cheered. Pope Paul also showed plainly he liked the unusual serenade. In welcoming the 250-member group from New York State, Pope Paul told the band' in Eliglish: "Your music is an expression of your enthusiasm and your willingness to work together in unity and with discipline." He added: "In this way you. create beauty and harmony and so bring happiness to your' audiel)ces. For this you are to be commended. You are preparing yourselves to work in a world that needs to be renewed by the harmony of peace, justice and love."

.Haition . Regime Seeks Church Help

THE ANCHORTh urs., A pIIr6, 1'972 .

'Foreign Minister Adrien Raymond insisted that Haiti has "warm appreciation for the present contribution of the churches." Raymond, interviewed on a visit here, also serve~ as the Haitian Minister of Worship. "Our constitution establishes freedom of religion and we are abiding by it," he told NC News. He and two other members of President Jean-Claude Duvalier's cabinet - Finance Minister Edouard Francisque and Defense Minister Luckner Cambronnecame to Washington on what they described as a goodwill visit after several years of l:Iaitian isolation. Invitation to Christians Duvalier, 20, was appointed president for life upon the death of his father Francois in April 1971. Francois Duvalier, known as "Papa Doc,'; had ruled the Caribbean country firmly since 1957 with the help of a secret. police force, the Tontons Macoute. In 1969 the Organization 6f American states accused the absolutist ruler of sanctioning a reign of terror in Haiti. Apart from the political struggle that sent thousands of Haitians into exile, three bishops and some 40 priests of Haitian or French nationality were expelled on charges of aiding the opposition. Raymond said the new government extends an invitation to Christians in the United States and Canada, both Protestants and Catholics, to increase their efforts at "improving the social and economic conditions of our people, besides tending to their religious needs." He pointed out three major fields: community development in rural areas, primary education, and health. Subsidies to Bishops "Many denominations already have their churches engaged in social work, schools and clinics, especially in rural areas," he said.. Raymond said the Catholic Church "enjoys a privileged position accorded by the concordat of 1860 and therefore receives government aid in worship, schools and social work." "We pay subsidies to bishops, priests and friars," Raymond remarked. In an indirect reference to the Chur<:h problems of the immediate past Raymond said a 1966 agreement with the Vatican that all bishops would be native Haitians, has "led to the integration of the Church into the Haitian p'eople, and to conform with the nationalist philosophy of the government.:'',. The Church in Haiti was established by French missionaries whose work was lat~r continued by Canadians. The only nonHaitian prelate now is Bishop Albert F. Cousineau" a priest from Montre~l.

Accuse Soviets Of Persecution

WASHINGTON (NC) - In extending "a warm invitation" to Christian groups to help human development in Haiti, its foreign minister says, the new regime fully guarantees freedom of religion.

MOSCOW (NC) - More than 17,000 Lithuanian Catholics sent petitions to the United Nations accusing officials of the Lithuanian Soviet Social Republic of persecuting Catholics. Copies of the petitions were made available to Western newsmen here. The petitions, bearing the signatures of more than 17,000 "believers," were sent to UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim in February after Soviet officials in Moscow had ignored earlier protests, according to a group of dissident Russians. The Soviet Union annexed Lithuania, a small republic on the Baltic Sea, in 1940. Its population of more than 3 million is predominantly Catholic.

If there is a time in the year ,when. I have even a little' chance of taking off some of the excess weight which I seem to carry endlessly, it is now.

Then there is the matter of turning over the soil for the vegetable garden (a very ,laborious job). Then there are the roses ~nd fruit tree's to prune and fertilize, a job which means many 'scratches and scrapes and the use of the saw or hand-axe. And of course the ,lawn must be raked and fertili2;ed in preparation for the' endless cutting of the summer.

This all takes time, of course, but I.will try to attacl< it day by day, spending at least an hour a day outside. 1 have never been a weekend gar,e1ener, although 1 spend con; siderable time on the weekend in the garden, but 1 feel that in order to keep things up to par 1 'have to get outside at least a half hour a day and preferably an hour. Regular work makes for more enjoyment and less chaos.' The upshot of the whole thing is that I would hope to take off 10 pounds or so before the hot, ~azy days of summer arrive.

Perhaps because there has been such an explosion of knowledge in all areas of contemporary society, today's Catholics seem to be in the same bad mood as Pilate was when he cynically asked Christ, "What is truth?" Today we are bewildered by' those spectres, held up by reputable scientists, of continuing contamination of, out water and food supplies, of eventual famines, and of, coming, complete, ecological disaster. We are saddened by the reports . of our social scientists, which tell of the breakdown of morale and morals among our people, especially our young; and which predict the gradual collapse of our whole value system. We are disheartened. by the self-proclaimed failure of our economists to plan out a system thflt is both viable and fair to all. And then there's Vatican II, which precipitated a tremendous outpouring of theological thinking; some of which seems so profound; some, so silly. So here we are, today's Catholics, trying to make some, sense out of all this hullabaloo; and we have some battle scars to show for it, too! We're harborjng many unfounded anxieties, engaging in constant futile quarrels, and gen,-

erally, doing lots of dUmb things. I suppose the angels 'would gladly put the whole lot of u~ in a big duffel bag' and lock 'us up somewhere, until God's'.right order is set up. 'Good Shepherd' Thankfully, however, this is not God's style. We have seen his style in his beloved Son, - Jesus,-"So Jesus went about all their cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel oJ the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity. Yet, still, when He looked at the multitudes, He was moved with pity for them; s~e ing them harried and abject, like sheep that have no shepherd." "(Matt. 9:35-,37) And it is for this' Good Shepherd's sake that thediocesan paper goes out each week to labor among his flock. , Like Jesus, the paper should be confident that the promised Spirit of Truth is with us; and, like Him, unhesitatingly' articulate the people's true hopes and just grievances. "Telling it like : . it is" and calling men to make some tough decisions is, of course, risky business; but then, J~sus too, was a disturber 'of the phony peace anti a sigll that some "refused to acknowJedge."

Sheehan's Arnheiter Affair Is Breath-taking Narrative, In December 1965 a 40-year-old lieutenant command. er in the U. S. Navy, Marcus Aurelius Arnheiter by name, took over as captain of the U.S.S.

Why the quick and final eclipse of an officer who had· a perfect fitness report? The reason is given in detail in Neil Sheehan's fascinating book, The Arnheiter Affair (Random House, 457 Madison Ave., New York, N. Y. 10022. $7.95). Arnheiter was determined to get his ship into combat, although this was not its mission. Irregularly, out of the ship's recreation fund, he bought a speed. boat, .on which he mounted a machine gun and an American flag. 'He planned to have the speedboat go dashing toward shore. 'The sight of the American flag would rouse hatred in the Vietcong, they would be tricked into coming out of hiding, and then the Vance would destroy them with its shells. Compulsory Services Arnheiter was a whimsical tyrant. He put great emphasis on shined belt buckles and clean shirts. It did not matter that the crew were doing extremely dirty work. They were supposed to keep themselves meticulously clean, subject to instant inspec.tion. This meant that the ship's laundry was overworked. Which, in turn, meant that the ship's water supply ran dangerously low. Drinking water had therefore to be cut down, despite the tropical heat. However the captain continued to take several 20minute showers daily, an~ to have water used to keep his cabin cooled. He staged compulsory Sunday religious services, during which he preached extended fire-andbrimstone sermons. When some objected on the grounds that conscience was being violated, Arnheitet dismissed their demurrers and ordered their presence: Chaplain's Report He was determined to take the Vance into combat, although this was not the ship's role. Against orders, he sailed her into a forbidden zone, recording false positions so as to conceal his disobedience. He interfered with the operations of larger ships,

What principally mattered· to .them was that "Arnheiter was apparently disobeying orders, shooting up places whe~e he wasn't supposed to be, and lying about it all with false position reports and .phony press re-. leases." He was relieved. Discovers Truth He fought back. He charged that he was the victim of slack, unpatriotic, cowardly, untruthful, vicious subordinates. With an uncanny skill in securing publicity, he conveyed to and through the press, the· notion that he had been infamously wronged, and won support in Congress. The Navy had made the mistake of not court-martialling him when he was relieved, and had to remain silent as the hullabaloo that he engineered roared on. Sheehan admits that he himself was at first taken in. But then he began a close study of the case, interviewing Arnheiter and many others of the principal figures involved. The truth as he discovered it is dispassionately but devastatingly presented in his book, which is a brisk, breathtaking narrative.• Playboy to Priest . lIn Playboy to Priest (Alba House, 2187 Victory Blvd., Staten Island, N. Y. 10314. $4.95), Father Kenneth J. Roberts, now serving in the archdiocese of St. Louis, recounts his unlikely and probably unparaileled career. An Englishman, he was born in 1930 and early taken into a foster home in Southampton. His foster .mother was a devout Catholic and prayed that he might become a priest. He did, but only in 1966. After some schooling, he served as a pantry boy on a merchant ship, then as a waiter on the original Queen Elizabeth. Thereafter he applied for acceptance at a seminary and was told to wait a year.

He tried to enter a seminary in Italy, was accepted by one in Portugal, wanted to transfer to another there, returned to England, joined the Army, then became an air steward on BOAC. He got engaged;, the engagement was later- broken. After many flights to all parts of the world he was fired by the BOAC because of a gold-smuggling scandal in which he had no part. He went back to the Queen Elizabeth. Bishop Gorman of Dallas, traveling on the ship, met him and offered to accept him as a seminarian. Roberts was in two seminaries in England, then transferred to the English Beda College in Rome, where he completed his studies and was ordained.

Cardinal Urges Spiritual Renewal In· Lives of Individual Christians NEW YORK (NC)-Cardinal Leo Suenens concluded his twoweek tour of the U. S. with a strong' evangelical appeal to the faithful to return to the roots of their faith "through the discovery of Christ" in their lives. The Belgian primate in his address here placed his chief stress on the need for spiritual renewal in the lives of individual Christians. Speaking under the sponsorship of the John Courtney Murray Forum, Cardinal Suenens skipped through his prepared text entitled "The Church in Evolution or Revolution?" and concentrated on a call to individual commitment to Christ. The "vital question" for Christians today, he told an audience dominated by priests and Reli.gious, is the same question that Christ put· to his disciples: "Who do you· say that I am?"· "This 'is the vitlil question bec;ause all depends on the answer." he exphlined. "The world .is looking to us - not just at .what you say with our lips but with your life. Meaning o~ Lilfe "The unbelievers are looking at us. They wish to see Jesus. If you say 'I am a Christian' they wish to see it, they wish to feel it." Too many Christians are "only sociological Christians" he declared, explaining that they are Christians because they are part of a society that makes it easy to be Christian. Rejecting such Christianity, Cardinal Suenens said, "Christ must be the biggest decision of my life. He mu:;t be the meaning of my life, of my suffering, of my being."

But if the man whose name is synonymous with the struggle for reform has turned his eloquence to personal evangelism, he made it clear the two are not unrelated. The Second Vatican Council, he recalled, concentrated on renewal of "the institutional side" of the Church. He said reforms begun by the council "are far from being finished." But he continued: "There is a difference between the Church as an institution, and the Church as an invisible majesty of God. We may never separate the two, but there is always a sort of ten-. sion between them." Humanity of Christ He likened the two facets to "the difference between body and· souL" In the mystery of God, he continued, the invisible Church is universal. "We are all the Church. Every family is a little Church." He said that Christians today are discovering "more and more of the... humanity of Christ," as well as His divinity. "Once we really believe in Christ's full humanity as a person," he said. "Then at once you feel the role of His mother. All that Christ was, humanly speaking, He got from His mother. We . cannot separate Christ and His mother." Cardinal Suenens said the 1960s were marked by the effort for renewal of the institutional Church, while the 70s would bring a new evangelical time.

Confirmation Continued from Page Sixteen 3. Next comes the imposition of hands, anointing and generai intercessions. 4. Rubrics encourage some of the confirmed persons afterwards to bring forward gifts for the liturgy of the Eucharist. 5. Confirmed adults, their sponsors, parents, spouses and instructors may receive Communion under both kinds. 6. A special blessing in place of the customary concluding benediction is provided in the restored rite.· All of this must sound beautiful, but hopelessly idealistic to the diocesan master of ceremonies or bishop's secretary who must schedule several confirmations on the same day and for candidates in the hundreds. The new regulations, however, come to his rescue in two ways. First of all, while hoping that "the minister of confirmation celebrate the Mass, or better concelebrate the Mass," it allows an alternative. "If the Mass is celebrated by... someone else, it is proper'that the bishop preside over the liturgy of the word and that he give the bl~ssing at the end of Mass." Festive and Solemn The busy bishop, then, who faces two or three confirmation ceremonies on a given day could merely preside over the Mass much in the way he presiq,es over benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. That would significantly ease the burden. Secondly, the ritual states "in case of true necessity and special reason, for example, the large number of persons to be confirmed, the minister of confirmation ... may associate other priests with himself in the administration of this sacrament." The confirmation time problem centers around the actual anointing rite. With a few assistants (the pastor, associates, priests present for the ceremony), the bishop should find this particular task much easier and certainly faster. "Attention should be paid," says the introduction, "to the festive and solemn character of liturgical service." I know of nothing which could add festivity and solemnity to' confirmation as much as its celebration within Mass.

Cardinal Meou.chi Urges Lebanese To Uphold Nation's Sovereignty

SCHOOLBOY SPORTS IN THE DIOCESE

BEIRUT (NC)-Cardinal Paul Meouchi, Maronite-rite patriarch of Antioch and leader of the largest C~ristian community in Lebanon, urged all Lebanese to uphold their nation's sovereignty and maintain its safety and security. Observers here described the patriach's message as "very significant" because it came less than two weeks after Lebanese' army troops moved into Palestinian guerrilla strongholds in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese army move came after Israeli forces withdrew. from the area. Israeli armored columns had attacked the guerrilla camps there at the end of .February in retaliation for Palestinian raids across Israel's northern frontier. "Our efforts during the past 16 years have been constantly aimed at ensuring adherence to the foundations on which Leb-. anese existence is established," Cardinal Meouchi said in his message. These foundations, he said, are national sovereignty, the safety of Lebanese territory and maintenance of the Lebanese political and sodal syst.ems.

An agreement ending the fighting provided that the guerrillas would control the 100-squaremile Arkoub region where Lebanon, Israel and Syria meet and that the Lebanese army would not interfere with them there. The guerrillas, however, did not restrict themselves to the Arkoub area, and set up bases elsewhere in southern Lebanon. Lebanon, which did not participate in the 1967 six-day war against Israel, has attempted to appear pro-Arab and anti-Israel to the Arab countries, proWestern to the United States and Europe and practically neutral to Israel.

,Am~rican Jesuit Father Philip Land of the Pontifical Commis'sion on Justice and Peace, which organized the symposium, out· lined the common prediction that ,- the Santiago meeting will be a struggle between the developing nations of Africa, Asia and Latin America on the one hand and the, developed nations on th~ other. ' He did not discuss the possible ,role of Communist and' neutral countries. . This struggle, as described by the American Jesuit and' other spealters at the symposium will ,rage around the rich nations' attempts to solve the current worldwide money crisis on their own t~rms without considering , either the Third World's needs or; its worsening trade position:Father Land asked how the relatively powerless nations of the'Third World can hope to wring concessions from the powerful developed nations.
