PopeTakes Initiative From Reds

All Men· Hail Encyclical's Blueprint for World Peace

BY FR. J. F. CRONIN, S.S. . NC Social Action Dept.

Pope John, from the be ginning of his reign, has as toimded and delighted the world by his paradoxical be havior. He was advanced in years,. yet he moved with the vigor of youth. He called Vatican Council II, primarily to renew the inner . life of the Church. But the spirit ,f this Council has already attracted our separated brethren

and breathed a new atmosphere into relationship between the Churches. He is gentle and kindly, pre ferring exhortation to condem nation. Nonetheless, he has made dec i s i v e and far-reaching changes within the Church, in the space of a few years. . His latest· encyclical letter, Peace on Earth, is perhaps the most remarkable paraliox of all.. Here is a profoundly anti-Mar xist document, yet it has much that should appeal to the com-

The

CHOR 0'

munist world. The veiled re

ferences to communism are

kindly. Nevertheless, this En

cyclical will steal Communist

thunder on the peace issue, just

as Christianity and Social Pro

gress undercut the social and

economic appeal of Marxism.

Pope John made history by

receiving in private audience

Alexei Adzhubei, son-in-law of

Premier Khrushchev. In the pre

sent Encyclical, as will be noted

presently, he widens somewhat

the "opening to the left." But

the basic tenor of the Encycli

cal is totally different from the

Marxist approach to peace and to

history.

To Marx and Lenin, the state'

is supreme. The individual does

not enjoy rights, only privileges.

By contrast, the Encyclical states

at great length and with pro . found eloquence the dignity, rights, and duties of the indivi dual person. It bases these truths upon God and the moral law implanted by God in the hearts of men. The specific rights explained by the Pope are in sharp con trast to Communist theory and practice. "By the natural law

Individuals should act for the common welfare for rea sons of conscience, not as a re sult of external pressure.

The call for instruction, along with a series of guidelines, was' issiled today by the Department of School Superintendents of the National Catholic Educational Association during its 60th an nual convention here. , - Understanding Essential The department includes in its membership the heads of all Catholic diocesan school systems in the country and a numbeJ;' of supervisors of major religious communities of men. The general presentation dis tributed here will be followed in October by a detailed course of study, the department said.

sighted interests." Need Preparation They also stressed FBI direc tor J. Edgar Hoover's warning that the problem of c'Ommunist subversion and propaganda is best handled by trained investi gators. "It is poor pedagogy and worse morality," they added, "deliber. ately to excite the emotions of young students against an evil which they can and should be taught to handle and to over. come with rational assurance and calm confidence." The superintendents said it is best tha,t communism not be studied without preparation. StUdents first need to study the ology, Christian social doctrine and international life, and American history and govern ment, they said. Teacher Preparation ID regard to instructors, the luperintendents said: "No'teach er can lead high school students through the maze of communist dialectic who has 'not himsel1 first mastered' and refuted t~e central proposition of Marx LeniniSm." Teachers must be prepared, the school heads said, to discuss with students "the fact that not all groupS claiming to be anti. communist are that in fact or are that in an effective or wholesome manner.'" "Students must be taught to. discriminate in a mature and politically sophisticated manner between anticommunist groups, lest, while supposedly working against' (U)mmunism, they unwit tingly become trapped into actu ally doin~ a disservice to Chrill tian democracy," they said.

Rome's independent middle of-the-road n Messaggero said the encyclical "distinguishes it .-elf above all by its admirable eoherence and a very closely eonnected logic between pre-. mise and conclusion.

.iil:

''From a political and social point of view, the newest ~le ment contained in. the encyclical .eems to be the one which John XXIII inkoduced in the last part, reference to the communist world, to its ideological princi ples and to its concrete historical .ructure is evident. And here the Pope introduced a distinc': Bon between error from the philosophical and religious point of view and the reality of * * * forces of political movements which, though based on doc trines considered erroneous by the Church, are active in the modern world." Rome's so mew hat rightist paper 11 Tempo called it "the encyclical of enthusiasms, con ceived under the sign of opti mism and irenicism. To the well known deception of the oust 1letched hand the Church has al ways res p 0 n d e d with the generous sincere gesture of open anus. Lauds Collaboration "It is its mission and it is the bymn which echoes every year near the crib of Bethlehem and the empty sepulcher of the Re aarrected." The editorial was significantly entitled, "The Dove end the serpent." The right-wing Giornale D'U alia said the encyclical con demned revoluntionary methods. "It must be borne in mind that to proceed gradually is the law of life," commented the paper. The leftist daily Paese Sera played up the Pope's appeal for a ban on atomic weapons and emphasized his reference to col laboration between Catholics and non-Catholics.

Bill Asks Protection For Postal Patrons WASHINGTON (NC) - Rep. John Dowdy of Texas has intro duced a bill designed to "protect postal patrons from obnoxious and offensive mail matter." The measure would authorize ibe Post Office, at the request of an individual receiving objec tionablemail.toinstruct the ~nder to remove the name of thi! objecting party from his mailing lis. . If the sender continued mail jog objectionable matter to a complaining in d i v i d u a 1, the Postmaster General could cancel or suspend his mailin" permi~ 1Hltil he stopped.

ATOM BOMBS: "Nuclear weapons should be banned." ERROR: "One must never confuse error and the per son who errs, not even when there is a question of error or inadequate knowledge of truth in the moral or reU•. gious field. The person who errs is always and above all a human being, and he re tains in every case his dig. nity· as a human person. And he must always be re garded and treated in ac cordance with that lofty dignity."

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: "Every human being has the right to honor God accord ing t- the dictates of an up right conscience, and there fore "the right to worship God publicly and privately." MINORlTffiS: "Justice is seriously violated by what ever is done to limit the strength and numerical in. crease of these minority peoples." -

INTERNATIONAL RELA. TlONS: "The same moral law which governs relations between individual· human beings serves also 'to regu late the relations of political communities."

RACISM: "Racial discrim ination can no longer be justified * * * First among the rules governing rela tion between states is that of truth. This calls aoove all for the elmination of every trace of racism." .

POPE JOHN XXID

. WORLD PEACE AUTHORITY: "Today the un iversal common good poses problems of world wide dimensions which cannot be adl!quately tackled or solved except by the efforts of public authorities endowed with a breadth of powers, structure and means of the same proportions." ECONOMIC RIGHTS: "Human beings have the natural right to free initiative in the economic field and the right to work * • * However, it is opportune to point out that there is a'social duty essentially inherent in the right of private prop erty." COLONIALISM: "It is not true that some human beings are by nature superior and others inferior. All men are equal in their natural dignity Consequently, there are no politIcal com munities which are superior by nature and none which are inferior by nature."

"HUMAN RIGHTS: "Every man' has the right

to life, to bodily integrity and to the means which are necessary and suitable for the proper devel~ opment of life. These are primarily food, cloth" ing, shelter, rest, medical care and finally the necessary social services * * * to security in case of sicknes, inability to work; widowhood, old age; unemployment or any other case in which he is deprived of the means of SUbsistence through no fault of his own."

He said he hopes that a "new energy" will animate the rulers of nations. Brotherly Love ''May the charity that will penetrate their hearts help them to believe in the presence of God in history and to accept His law even to the concrete 'applications that it requires," he stated. "May they thus be induced to do everything, absolutely eve r y thing, in a spirit of obedience to a dUty which exceeds and trans cends the life of individuals." Recalling the Last Supper, where Christ instituted the Blessed Sacrament as the final gift of His message "of truth and of life," the Pope said, "the e n c y eli cal Pacem in Terris sought to repeat this in words which We hope - will be wel comed and understood by all. We wanted it published on the day on which there sprang from the lips of Christ the divine words: 'Love one another.'"

"It is in effect a great appeal to love which We sought to ad dress to all men of our time." Recalling that Christ washed the feet of the- apostles, the Pope said that it was a "precious. lesson which the Church has heeded • * * but more than the gesture, it is the spirit which counts and the lesson is not orily for religious leaders. "Every cQmmand, every ex ercise of authority is a service. "The Pope loves to be called the Servant of the Servants of God. He feels himself and en;' courages himself to be the ser vant of all. "God wants all those on whom falls the weight of responsibility for the human community, to take to heart * * • this last and great lesson of Holy Thursday. And He wants them to see that their authority will be accepted better by their peoples if they use it in a spirit of humble ser vice and total devotion to the good of all."

NEW YORK (N C) Pope John's suggestion~ for . guaranteeing w 0 rId peace are significant because they have the weight of "an authority to whom even Premier Khrush chev has made his symbolic bow," the New York Times has declared. . The Times editorial on the encyclical "Pacem in Terris" centers on the Papal appeals for a buttressing of the United Na tions, which the newspaper described as· the cornerstone of Pope John's edifice of peace. It says that most of the suggestions and principles are already being practiced by the UN and the' United States, but that "too many forces continue to obstruct a fuller realization of the Pon tiff's program." Facing Bankruptcy The Times editorial points to the financial 'bankruptcy now facing the UN because man,. nations refuse to pay their as sessments, the recess in failure of the Geneva· disarmament con~ ference, and the continuing 'need for arms in the West to counter communist threats. The New York Herald-Tri. bune sees "implicit in the ency clical" an acceptance of' the principle of co-existence be tween the communist and non communist nations.

Urg·es Catholics Practice Truth In Unity Quest WASHINGTON Augustin Cardinal urged here that make themselves

(NC) Bea, S.J., Catholics "servants

of the truth" in the quest for Christian unity. Cardinal Bea, president of the Vatican Secretariat for Promot ing Christian Unity, summed up the spirit behind the ecumenical movement in the words of St. Paul: "practicing the truth in love." ' "Truth without charity is in tolerant, and charity without truth is blind and will not en dure," he told an audience of 2,500, including dignitaries of Church and State, at the Cath 'olic University of America. The Cardinal spoke after re ceiving an- honorary doctorate of sacred theology from the univer sity. T):J.e ceremony was his last public appearance in the United States before returning to Rome. Cardinal Bea spoke on "The Ecumenical Tasks of the Catho lic Intellectual." 'Sacrificing Efforts' In working fOl" religious unity, he said, Catholic intellectuals must have a clear vision of both' the goal to be achieved and of "0 u r non-Catholic Christian brethren." He . said that means "an un derstanding and respect for what makes them our brothers, espe cially the grace of Baptism and all its consequences, and for what makes them our separated brothers." He declared that it is not enough for Catholics to have 'a "clear but cold" understanding of what divides them from non Catholics. Rather, he said, Cath olics must have a "lovin1 under standing" of non-Catholics and must appreciate "the great sacri ficing efforts" that these "breth ren" are making in the cause of' unity.

Missions Continued from Page One Father Maestrini,a former director of the Catholic Truth Society in Hong Kong, states that of 400,000 priests in the Church, only 25,000 are engaged in missionary - work, and of a million nuns, only 50,000 are in the missions. Depend on Begging The missions, he says, get "the crumbs from weathier parishes, the pennies of school children, used stamps, discarded clothes, a general collection once a year." "The fact remains that the missions, the most important work of the Church, have al ways had to depend upon begging for survival," he de clares. DesGribing this as a "tragic situation," he says its "only solution *"" is the awakening of the conscience of the clergy and the laity" to the fact that "the work of the missions is the first duty of the Church." He hopes the Second Vatican Council will be the means of giving "proper priority" to the missions in the life of the Church; of mobilizing the en tire Church .in the work of bringing the Gospel to the whole world; and of taking the mis sions out of the begging busi ness and making their support "as important as support of one's own parish."

In truth, it's hard to think of one without the other. Some 28 years ago Mrs. Assunta Borsar'i donated land for erection of the chapel, and since its dedication in 1935 she and Mrs. Aldo Guerzoni have not only kept it in immaculate condition, but have worked almost daily on proj(!cts to raise funds for its main tenance.. Before the chapel was built, Masses were said in the Tremont Grange Hall. When Rev. Francis D. Callahan, then pastor at St. Patrick's of which St. Anthony's is a mission, was informed that the hall was to be sold, he had the problem of finding another location at which Mass could be said. It was at this time that Mrs. Borsari not only offered land for St. Anthony's, but promised as sistance in f!1ndraising for con struction' and maintenance of the new chapel. An old school building was purchased from the town of Wareham, moved to tlJe Gault Road site of St. Anthony's and renovated to become the present chapel. It is noteworthy that all the work involved in this project was accomplished by men of the parish, laboring after completion of their regular working day. Meanwhile Mrs. Borsari and Mrs. Guerzoni were occupied in fundraising projects such as Summer fairs, suppers and food sales. all to the end of contrib uting to the chapel expenses.

Expanded Services In 1935 but one Sunday Mass was said at St. Anthony's. Now four are celebrated each Sum mer Sunday to cope with the influx of residents and vacation ers-and addition of a fifth Mass is sorely needed. As they have for the past 28 years, Mrs. Assunti and Mrs. Borsari labor almost nightly at the making of articles for sale to benefit the church. Seven years ago Mrs. Borsari added to her origirial donation when she gave more land to St. Anthony's for use as a parking lot--another indication of the area's growth over the -decades. Some time after St. Anthony's was built, a campanile was add ed at the rear, housing the bell that had belonged to the original school house. Parishioners say: "Every Sun day morning for miles away, you can hear the holy bells of St. Anthony being rung by Mrs. Borsari who arises bright and early to remind people to attend church on Sundays and holy days." The bells are also heard at midnight New Year's Eve.

The Church's Initiative Common to all men are the yearnings of the human heart for love, for peace, for dignity, for a modest share of the world's goods, for the chance to advance. These are human desires. They are placed in the heart of man by his Creator. Pope John, in his Peace on Earth encyclical, shows amazing insight into the workings of the heart of man. That is his whole approach to the problem of peace. He encourages the aspirations of the human heart. He is mindful that even when men reach out to Communism they are not necessarily embracing an atheistic political system so much as they are searching for some elements of truth and idealism seen there and not perceived elsewhere. He shows how in the Gospel of Christ these yearnings reach fulfillment. Picking a sure and optimistic way amid conflicting political and philosophic and moral notions, the Pope shows the basis of peace to be in God and in the law of God implanted in the hearts of men. His logic is inescapable, his psychology sure. He reconciles beautifully and persuasively the dignity . of the person and the place of the state, the sense of personal freedom that each man should have and the con cept of the common good" the rights of each political entity and the necessity for all to work together for the good of the whole world. The Pope's encyclical is shot through with holy hope and the expect'!tion of change. He encoJrages men of good will to work for truths and ideals. And if they find them selves in the company of those'who do not believe in God, they should not fear but; rather, rejoice to show these how much more effective is the Gospel of Christ than the teachings of Marx and Lenin. And change can come in the hearts of unbelievers if those who know Christ present Him to the world: "Every believer in this world of ours must be a spark of light, a center of love, a vivifying leaven amidst .his fellow men, and he will be this all the more perfectly the m9re closely he lives in communion with God in the intimacy of his own sou}." In this encyclical, the Pope has put into words what many men and agencies have been trying to say. The desires of men's hearts, the place of God, the ideals of the , United Nations, the plan of Communism, the strivings of democracy, the rights of the individual, the position of the state-all these he has mastered and reconciled with a breadth 'of scope and sureness of touch that has resulted in men looking on the Church with a new respect and with the reverence of pupils coming to a sure teacher. The Church 'has taken the initiative. She has shown herself to be the Universal Mother. Peace on .Earth is no ivory tower document. It does not dwell in the academic world. It lives. It touches men and nations and their concerns. It cuts across ideologies. It presents a recognizable and workable blueprint of peace.

Easter and Light Easter is inescapably tied up with the idea of light. The specific symbol of the Risen Christ is the lighted Paschal Candle. Christ reminded His hearers, "I am the light of the' world." 8t. John could find no more adequate way to describe God than to say, "God is light." The beautiful chapel of the neighboring Portsmouth Priory contains a sculpture-gold and silver wire stretched to every corner of the chapel and radiating from ,a crucifix so that the viewer is aware only of light reflecting through out the whole building like the omnipresence of God. Baptism kindles the light of God in the soul of His· creature. Easter is a rededication of that light. Katherine Mansfield prayed: "Lord, make me like crystal so that Thy light may shine through me." This, then, is the theme that Easter implants in the human heart. This is the work, too, that must follow upon Easter-to be aware- of the light of God, to encourage its brightness, to eliminate what would impede its shining.

TODAY -- Easter Thursday. We sing in the Alleluia verse: "Christ has risen; the world's Creator has had pity on man kind." Mary weeps before the tomb, until she sees the risen Christ (Gospel). The liturgy makes it clear that Jesus' rising again, His victory over death, is everyman's rising and every man's victory. TOMORROW-Easter Friday~ "I am with you all through the days that are coming," is the Lord's promise as He solemnly charges His apostles with His mission (Gospel). The mission is to make 'disciples (of Jesus) through Baptism (in Jesus). He is the mediator, the one Priest. And every Christian act of wor ship, public or private, is in Him and through Him and with Him.

TUESDAY-Mass as on Sun day-Faith is the personal en counter, we learn in today's les sons, that makes our lives trium phant. Faith 'is the triumph. We need expect no other. But we need no other, for faith infuses not only the progress and accom plishments of the world but also its pain and its misery with meaning and purposefulness. Triumph enough for the pilgrim who wants so desperately to make sense out of things. WEDNESDAY - st. Fidelis, Martyr-our weekly celebration of this triumph is around a cross, a sacrificial table, and in the company of martyrs. So it is eIearly not a triumph in any political or economic or military sense. Today's Mass spells out the strangeness of our triumph in Christ: "We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honor" (First Reading). But the Gospel is undismayed ~ this: "Abide in me, and 1- in you."

EASTER SATURDAY. "You are a chosen race, a royal priest hood, a consecrated nation" (First Reading). All of our wor ship is in Christ and is therefore acceptable to the Father, but our participation is real, we do Co~rt share in it.

Frustrating Day Has Happy End As Daughter Fixes Dinner By Mary Tinley Daly It was definitely "one of those days"-nothing tragic, tbank God, not the kind to try one's soul, but unmistakably one to try one's patience.

Story of Ireland's' Potato Famine 'Saddening ~ecital'

By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen. D.D. So often we meet college graduates who introduce themselves by identif)'ing themselves with their college: ,"I am an A man," "I am a B man," "I am a C man." Never do they identify them selves by their diocese, or by their parish, or even by saying: "I am a Catholic." Could it be, that our coIleges are educating loyal alumni rather than Catholic laity? Are they preparing mailing lists of financial prospects rather than possible apostles of the Church, lay missioqaries abroad, loyal disciples of Christ?

By Rt. Rev•.Msgr. John S. Kennedy Everyone knows of Ireland's potato famine in the 1840's, among the greatest disasters of the nineteenth century, and with repercussions down to our own time. But few have any extensive knowledge of this horror. Cecil Woodham - Smith, English gan, while food continued to be

Serves Needy Thousands in Lima

'"I just got tired of fuming about things and decided to do something." This is how nurse Virginia Jackson, a papal volun teer from Boston, explains her presence in Lima, Peru. Her work among 90,000 inhabitants of the poorest district in Lima is the subject of an illustrated feature article in the May issue of "The Sign," nationa~ Catholic monthly magazine. Since February, 1962, Miss Jackson has been stationed with another Boston nurse; Marie Knowles, in one of the world's biggest and poorest parishes, l\uestra Senora de La Paz, on the outskirts of Lima. The pas tor, Father Andres Godin, O.M.L, is a Canadian. Assisting him are another priest, a brother who is a medical doctor, a Sister who is ·a nurse, and the two papal vol unteers.. Health Big Problem "Tuberculosis, pneumonia and typhoid stalk the district for their daily prey," the article re ports. "Parasites of all sorts· bring other unspeakable dis eases. Principal command post in the defense of these 90,000

lives is the adobe·built clinic. Here the nurses wrestle against diseases--and often win." Virginia Jackson and Marie Knowles are two of 30 nurses, sent by their home dioceses, serving as papal volunteers in half a dozen Latin American countries. Staffing clinics, house to house visiting, and training local girls in the rudiments of nursing are the main tasks iR which they are involved. Health is one of the great problems in Latin America. In many rural areas, and in big city slums, infant mortality runs as high as 50 per cent. Among the Indian population of- the Andes tuberculosis is a. major source of death at all ages. Pub lic health programs of the type in which the papal volunteers are engaged are an urgent nec essity. Gives Away Money Nurses are needed in the United States but, as The Sign article reports, papal volunteers, like Virginia Jackson, feel that the poor, disease.ridden people of Peru's slums need them even more. Of her task the article com ments: "She works six grinding, Says People Rea lize dawn·to.dusk days a week amid Dependence On God teeming squalor, and she is con ST.

Now the obvious explanation cal our prejudice was that we so "I'al'ely found the results in con formity with our own sacrosanct opinions. If we abominated a certain politician, whereas the pollsters 'could cite chapter and yerse to prove his popularity, we cried a murrain upon their heads. If we thought a law should be enacted to enforce our favorite puritanism, and discovered, from the samplings, that we were isolated in our ivory tower, we questioned at once the me manics and the value of the process: And besides, why was it that we ourselves were never polled? On Side of Angels But now, it seems, all this is changed. Mr. Gallup has come up on the side of the angels. What a nob~<. fellow he is, and how infallible are his forecasts! And who could dOl\bt the valid Ity of his methods? True, it is only a matter of 48 per cent of those contacted, who thought that way, while a' slightly smaller percentage re mained obdurate in opposition and a fragment' confessed igno rance and confusion about the whole thing. Advises Caution In all seriousness, ,it strikes this writer that we should be extremely cautious in accepting 'these figures at full value. This .. not to question the worth of testing and sampling, and we have not the slightest prejudice. against the Gallup Poll. But we do believe that the significance of this item ,can be exaggerated out of all corre spondence with reality and can suggest a higher level of agree ment on this vastly controversial matter than is in fact present in the national mind. Polls have their uses, but polls have also been known to be wild b' inaccurate. In this instance we should know a great deal more about the mechanics, where it was taken and how the question was formulated, before

Plan New Seminary In Ohio Community • HIGHLAND HEIGHTS (NC) -The Blessed Sacrament Fathers have . announced plans. to build a new six-year-major seminary adjoining their present St. Pas chal Monastery on a 26-acre site here in Ohio. It will accommodate 60· stu dents. Groundbreaking is sched uled for late June. The new seminary which will be com pleted by September 1964, will replace the community's present but smaller major seminary, St. Joseph's, on the outskirts of Cleveland.

of . the cause is a very large question indeed., Set in Opposition It is likely enough that a great many Americans - perhaps a fourth of the people - really do not much care one way or the other. The only argument which might jerk them from lethargy is the threat of increased taxa tion as a result of including the non-public or church-related schools (why can't we come up with a decent generic name for these objects of 0111" concern?) in a federal aid program. Many more would oppose their inclusion for reasons which are silly or flimsy, and ought to be quickly dispelled were it possible to reach into th,eir minds. So far we have not devised a satisfactory means of presenting the rational side of the debate, so as to penetrate this enormous group. Then, of course, there is the hard core of those whose minds are set in opposition, who are determined to fight to the last ditch, 'who are convinced of the "wall of .>eparation" theory, and who see in our concern for jus tice nothing more than another and deadlier phase of Catholic aggression. Sees Long Road Ahead So, in spite of Mr. Gallup's consolatory figures we very much doubt whether 49 per cent of America, at this date, is actu ally in favor of participation by the non-state-supported schools (again, this fearsome terminol ogy!) in any significant appor tionment of federal monies. The shift in pu.blic opinion seems to us to have come much too rapidly to be wholly reli. able.. Any "grass-roots" c~ paign we may have conducted, in a neighborly sort of way, might have been expected to pay off in a decade or so, but not quite so fast. The plain truth is that we have much to do, and long, hard road to travel, before America, Protestant in tradition and Secu larist in oractice, will be ready to see the justice of the cause and to act upon it. To para phrase an old saw, let us be sure the tide has turned back before we cast our bread upon the waters.

His senior year ended with • real flourish: State Class B cross country 'winner, indoor mile championship (2nd in the Na tionals), the Bowdoin Invita tional Mile titlist, and the GBI outdoor mile crown. In fact, Porter won the GBI mile four years in a row. At South Bend, Porter won four track numerals, although by his own admission, he was no "world beater." Yet, he ran well, variously as a 2-miler, miler, half-miler and lf4.;.miler. "I' started to grow my freshman year," Al said, "and become too' big to run the longer distances. So my coach switched me over to the 880 and 440." As Al (fo~;.., plained it, he didn't have tlle looseness because his phys ed, program (tumbling, wrestlil,g, and weight-lifting) was filIthg him out.

"I don't think there's any greater thrill in sports than to see a champion runner," he chimed.

At " Da~tmouth; our work load is· more de manding - 4, 5 or6 times more demanding than a meet." He hal an "adverse condition" theori which basically means that in practices he makes it as grueling as he possibly can. Apparent17' the formula has worked very: well at Dartmouth.

move men to promote the oom mon good of all." Nature of Man ' When the Encyclical oom ments on political refugees, there is a note of personal ten derness and sadness that is un usual in a solemn pontifical document. At the same time, the papal letter n<>tes that this situ ation shows "that there are some political regimes which do not guarantee for individual citizens Ii sufficient sphere of freedom within which their souls are al lowed to breathe· humanly. In fact, under those regimes even the lawful existence of such a sphere of freedom is either called into question or denied." Communism is, atheistic. It holds that "the relationships be tween men and states can be governed by the same laws as the forces and' irrational ele ments of the universe." Actually, ~the laws governing them are of quite a different kind and are . to be sought elsewhere, namely, where the Father' of all things wrote them, that is, in the na'ture of man." . Sharp Differences The basic theme of the ency clical'is that peace will be had when truth, justice, love,. and freedom prevail within nations and among nations. These are .ill moral concepts, excluded by the very nature of Marxism Leninism. The contrast between the two views of human society is total.

AIRS EAS'rER. MESSAGE: Sitting at a desk in the Vatican studio, His Holiness Pope John XXIII p,repares to record his annual Easter message for world-wide broadcast, The Pope called his new, encyclical on peace "Our, Easter present" and indicated his hope that it would prompt "serious reflection on economic, social and political prob lems." NC Photo~ is to be set up by common accord and not by force. Obviously the creation of such' a supranational agency would be impossible in the context of the Cold war and present world tensions. The Pope must expect. a change. Seoondly, the Pope calls for the extension and' perfection of the work of the United Nations. He asks that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights be implemented. Again, here are hopes that would seem imprac tical, if nothing changed in the Communist world. Atheistic Communism. Finally, Pope J'ohn takes up - in language somewhat veiled

but nonetheless clElar -"" the deli

cate question of operation

with the Communist nations and

movements.

Here he makes a sharp distinc tion between "fal~! philosophical

teachings regarding the nature, origin, and destiny of the uni verse and man" and "historical movements that have economic, social, 'cultural or political ends • •• even when these move ments have originated from those teachings and still draw inspiration therefrom."

Urges Prudence The teachings remain the same - communism is intrinsi cally wrong. But movements "cannot avoid '. • • being Subject to' changes, even of a' profound nature." A, did Pius XI in his great

Widens Opening Catholicll who are faced with such decisions must act in ac cord with '''the 'principles of natural law, with the social doc trines of the Church, and with the directives of' ecclesiastical authority." The Church has the authori". not only to promulgate the teachings of ethics and religion in the temporal' sphere, but also to intervene "when there is Ii question of judging about the application of these principles to concrete cases." . ' Here is the widening at. the "opening 1.>0 the left," mentioned earlier in the article. It explains the exchange of messages be tween the' Pope and Premier Khrushchev. In this oontext we can see why the Holy See re tains diplomatic, relationships with Cuba and even receives lOundings from the Kremlin.. The Church must reject com munism as a system. But indivi-' dual Communist leaders can ' change, as reason and common sense forces them' to a, more correct view of, human nature and society. The Pope is seeking, gently, gradually, and prudently,.

to encourage such change. Some will note the apparent contrast between this position and ,that of Pope Pius XI, who said: "Communism is intrinsi cally wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsover." (On Atheistic Communism, No. 58) Yet the context makes clear that the earlier Pontiff was warning againllt two dangers that. of inadvertently promoting communism by jQining united front movements and the pos sibility that Communist trickery may deceive the unwary. Faith in God This warning is still sound and timely. Pope John has modified it, but in a cautious and limited manner. Those who are expert in their field, who know Communist tactics, who are sensitive to the requirements of nat u r a 1 law and social ,teaching of. the Church, and who are obedient to Church authority may on occasion find it fruitful to have dealings with Commu nist movements or states. Thus, for example, the Chris, tian trade unionS of France at times work for certain objec tives in common with the Com munist unions, as in the recent mine strike. . Some may oonsider this at titude of Pope John as daring, in view of basic Communist atti tudes toward religion. Yet the Pope believes that truth arid goodness will prevail. His opti mism is based on a firm faith Ja God's love and providence. ' Great Doeument Consequently, "every believer in this world of ours must be a spark of light, a center of love, a vivifying leaven amidst his fellow men, and he will be this all the more perfectly the more closely he lives in .communion with God in the intimacY' oihi. own soul."

The optimism and Christian

love of Pope John have already

worked miracles in the ecumeni cal sphere. May God grant him ·long years to achieve a similar result in the area of world peace. This magnificent encyclical beyond doubt one of the greatest papal documents 'of all time is 'a splendid beginning of tIM, work 'of peace; ,

Reds Distort Encyclical

Encyclical on Atheistic Commu nism, Pope John notes that even in communism, there are ele ments of truth and idealism. "Who can deny that these movements, insofar as they con form to the dictates of right reason and are interpre~ers of the lawful aspirations of the human person, contain elements that are positive and desE;l"ving of approval?" Because of these two - the possibility of change and the ex istence of some truths amidst the errors of Marxism - it may be possible to work with Com munist states or movements for good causes. "It can happen, then, that a drawing nearer together or a meeting for the attainment of some practical end, which was formerly deemed inopportune or unproductive, might now or in the future be considered oppor, tune or useful." Prudence tells us when "work in common might be possible for the achieve ment of social, cultural, and political ends which are honor able and useful." , '

everyone to profess the religion of his 'choke. "We hope that this encyclical receives the widest possible audience." , Spiritual Value8 Pastor Marchal, .spokesman for the Protestant ooR1:munity iil Paris, said: "John XXIII has too often dis played a totally Gospel-inspired spirit for this encyclical to as tonish us. But it delights us and is a superb credit to its aut~or.

"Ina time when nations are so often fluctuating between fear and hate, the summons of spid tual values is not simply ••• recOurse to noble abstractions. Such a summons is the very re quisite of the life of our bodies as well as the principle of our minds. Message of Hope 'The ,Pope has recalled that neither in our churches nor out side of them has anyone ever found . other means of rising above conflict and peril than by

marshalling all the resources anel all the' daring of the spirit. "Such a spirit overcomes fron tiers and denominational differ..; ences. The thinking of the Pope is very clear on that point. This is a note that Protestants are particularly happy to see under- ' scored so· nobly in this encycU... cal." Another initial commentator was Maurice' Schumann, former cabmet minister who is now

head of the foreign affairs oom- ' inittee of the Chamber of Depu ties. , He said: "No matter what their oolor, their race, their oountry or their religion, all members of human soCiety will see in this message their anguish and their hope. Each person can read it without feeling himself cen sured.' All will have an oppor tunity to begin to perceive that what divides them is not a.I strong as what unites them."
