of the Rites that remained tra. ditional in this regard was the Ambrosian Rite (that used in the city of Milan where Pope Paul was himself Archbishop for some years). Now it is again re­ stored to the Universal Church. The decree does not simply permit or recommend this res­ toration. It imposes it. It has abolished the longer prayer re­ cited with difficulty beforehand. Though the prayer was long, constant appeals to Rome were always answered by stating that the rormula was to be recited in full for each person receiving Communion. This proved cum­ bersome to the priest; unintelli_ gible for the communicant. A second decree of the COR­ gregation of Rites, bearing the same date, provides for the in­ sertion in the Divine Praises-­ recited mainly after the cere­ mony of Benediction-the in­ vocation "Blessed be the Holy Spirit. the Paraclete." The prayer is to be inserted after the invocation "Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament 0/ the Altar:'

BETHEL PARK (NC) ­ The real crisis in CathoUe education passed years ago when parents were persuad­ ed to send their children to J)arochial schools, Bishop Joba K. Mussio of Steubenville, Ohio, said here in Pennsylvania. Discounting present difficul­ ties faced by Catholic schools, Bishop Mussio told 400 women at St. Valentine's church that "there is an answer to the teach­ er problem as there_ is to the space problem." . But, he said, "we have solved the one really 'critical' crisis _ apathy on the part of parents to our school system of training." It is public schools, rather than Church s c h 0 0 1 50 which are proving their inability to be competent teachers, he ron­ tinued. Calling for "radical thinking and equally radical changes" to make public school education as eHicient as it should be, Bishop Mussio declared that "the State's - incompetence to control public education, 110 be a 'teach­ er,' is evident from the U.s.. Supreme Court's many decisioM demanding that where the goy­ ernnM!nt is concerned as a t~b­ er there can be taught no values. in any other WQY can influ­ ence be brought to bear on the spiritual, religious and moral aide of our human nature." "At the same time," he added, "these same justices, as well. prudent public school educators, admit that there can be no true education without the inculcati~ 01 true values.

Father Cronin Doubts Red S·upport for Rights Bill

Ordinary Guest Of Vincentians

MILWAUKEE (NC)-Father John F. Cronin, S.S., said here he doubts communists support the civil rights bill before the U.S. Senate, but if they did it would not negate the endorsement of fine Americans. Writing in the Catholic Herald Citizen, newspaper heads and extremists in the civil of the Milwaukee Arch­ rights community want agita'tion diocese, the assistant direc­ to stir up trouble, not legisla­ tor of the Social Action tion to avoid disturbance," he Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, Washington, D.C., dealt with charges made against the bill. Most of the charges, he said, were made in an advertisement carried in 2000 U. S. newspapers entitled "$100 Billion Blackjack: the Civil Rights Bill." Costs of the advertising were largely met by the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, he said. He said it was alleged that communists support the bill and therefore it must promote their aims and objectives. Want Agitation "Even if the communists did support this bill, which I doubt, it still does not negate the fact than tens of· millions of fine Americans endorse its princi­ pIes," he said. "If the communists were real- . ly working for the passage of the bill, they would throw their weight against unwise demon­ strations that are hurting the Negro cause, for exampl~, cer­ tain demonstrations in San Fran­ cisco and Brooklyn, N. Y. "In fact, communist infiltra­ tors were active in promoting these extreme measures. Hot-

wrote. Answers Objections Other objections to the bin and Father Cronin's response are: Objection: The bill forces me to sell my house to Negroes. Answer: There is nothing about housing in the bill. Objection: It would give my job to a Negro. Answer: Jobs are not affected by the bill, only hiring. Objection: Employers would be forced to hire incompetent workers. Answer: Standards of hiring are not affected, provid­ ing there is not discrimination. Objection: Hotels and restau­ rants will be forced to serve dis­ orderly persons. Answer: They can have any reasonabl~ stand­ ards, applied impartially. Objection: This affects prop­ erty rights and hence leads to socialism. Answer: Social re­ sponsibility is not socialism.

Catholic Bishop, Methodist Sha re Pulpit in Presbyterian Chapel SHERMAN (NC) - A Catholic bishop and a Methodist theologian shared the pulpit in a Presbyterian chapel here in Texas to give their appraisals of the Vatican council. Auxiliary Bishop Stephen A. Leven of San Antonio and Dr. Albert C. Outler, professor of theology at SO'lthern Methodist University, were the guests of Austin (Presbyterian) College and the Sherman Deanery of Catholic Men. The two took turns in the pulpit of Austin College's Wynne chapel to give their assessments of the council to date. Bishop Leven gave an overall view of the council and Dr. Outler gave an "evaluation."

pate is convinced that'- the Church can_ be brought up to date. ' Dr. Outler divided the council into three categories. At one ex­ treme he put the "prophets of doom," at the other "the apos­ tles of impatience," and some­ where in the middle the majority of bishops who are giving the council its clearly progressive character. Dr. Outler gave three out­ standing impressions that he carried away from the council: 1) The fact that 3,000 bishops are meeting and discussing is in itself as amazing as the results are astounding. 2) The council marks the end of the counter _ reformation epoch. 3) The council is a premedi­ tated experiment at reforma­ tion within the Catholic Church. 'From his own viewpoint, he said, the council marks the be­ ginning of "a major mutation in Catholic-Protestant relations."

Constitution on Sacred Liturgy Base for Unity Discussions CULLMAN (NC)-The newly enacted Constitution on the Sacred I,.iturgy forms a base for new discussions on achieving Christian unity, a German Bene­ dictine abbot said here in Ala­ bama. Abbot Laurentius Klein, O.S.B., said the constitution's emphasis on the Church as the "people of 'God" is of "great importance for the whole ecu-· menical dialogue."

New Bedford

S PEA K E R: Principal speaker and honorary de­ gree recipient. at Stonehill College commencement will be Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

"Here we have quite a field of discussion between us and the Protestants," the 32-year-old Abbot said. "And I think we have a new approach in discuss­ ing the episcopate and also the primacy when we take the Church as the 'people of God.'"

Abbot Klein is superior of St. Matthias Abbey in Trier, Ger­ many. He is the German Hier­ archy's advisor in relations wit'h a number of Protestant groups in Germany. Speaking before an audience of priests, seminarians and Prot­ estant ministers here, Abbot Klein said that while the Sec­ ond Vatican Council has not made an official statement on the Church, the liturgy consti­ tution contaiIltl its own "eccle­ siology." He said the constitu­ tion reemphasizes the ''transi­ tional," contemplative and trini­ tarian aspects of the Church, which are points of discussion . already accepted by many Prot­ estants.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Apr. 30,1964

.

St. Joseph,

By Their Works One of the considerations that influenced Frederic Ozanam in founding the St. Vincent de Paul Society was a charge directed against him while he was a student at the University of Paris, speaking with his fellow students about the Catholic Church. One of them broke into Ozanam's speech with the accusation that Catholics were great for words but where were their works? The question was a worthy one. Jesus Christ told His rollowers that by their works would men know them. St. Thomas Aquinas said that activities should be the overflow of contemplation. If this be so,. then works of charity are the overflow of hearts filled with love of God and neighbor. The Catholic Charities Appeal which begins its door­ to-door phase on Sunday reveals the contents of many hearts. The Appeal points to ,the works of those engaged in caring for the aged, the sick, the needy, the helpless. Their works surely spring from hearts that take at literal meaning the words of the Savior, "Amen I say to you, as long as you did it for one of these, the least of my brethren, you did it for me." The Appeal asks that men and women of this present day show their own works that others may know them. By so doing they will reveal the contents of their hearts. For a gift to the Charities Appeal is not simply a business investment - although it is the best usage of a dollar. It is not merely a tip given once a year to salve a­ conscience or to secure the dismission of a tenacious col­ lector. It is not only a giving from one's abundance. A gift to the Charities Appeal is a gift from the heart. It is something that should be felt. It is some'thing that contains the element of sacrifice, for the sacrifice is part of the gift, not just the money. Catholics are great for words. But it is by their works that men will know them.

Personal Responsibility After admitting that he had imbibed much too freely and as a result had participated in making a shambles of the house where he was a guest, a member of the New York social set recently went on to say that someone must be responsible for creating such a situation in which young people are then ensnared. The statement - was such an innocent-sounding one that the listener must do a double-take to catch all the implications. For the conclusion seems to be that a vague society, an un-named "they," is always to blame, and the question of personal and individual responsibility is thus neatly side-stepped. It is true that people -are influenced by their society - by their parents, their schools, thelr friends, their social and 'economic group. But the fact remains, if there is any such a thing as free will, that there is a moment when most people can and do make a choice and are aware that they are so acting. Deny this, try to put the responsibility on society, and men are simply puppets meriting neither praise nor blame. And this, for the vast majority of human beings, is simply contrary to their experience. All too many people cling to the remnants of childhood while crying out for the privileges of adulthood. Claiming the mantle of adulthood they demand the right to ;make their own decisions, the right to make their- own choices, decide their own lives. But when confronted with the re­ sults of their decisions· and choices they become the chil­ dren, placing the blame on the child's "they" who are always responsible for the broken cookie-jar, the spilled paint, the cracked toy. c

He is all boy, jumping black eyes, short black wire for hair, white teeth, bounding energy, and a language smattered wi~h Spanish, German, · French, and now more than a working knowledge of English. The G.!. and his bride brought Tony back to Germany with· them after the necessary papers · were worked up, and then in a few more months the three left for home and New Bedford. Once back home, things palled for the G.!. and his German bride. Civilian life in the States wasn't what the bride had been told, and civilian life wasn't what the G.!. had remembered before be went into the service. There were fights, and drinking bouts, end Tony got more than his share of kieks and cuffs. He pulled into himself, his eyes lost their luster; he grew silent, and he looked and suffered from neglect and the loss of love again in his life. One night not long ago there was another fight at home. The father went his way, the fuster mother disappeared and Tony was presented on the steps of St. Mary's by a stranger. Wfthin hours his smile was back, the wrinkles were gone from his neglected stomach, his eyes were on fire again, and. Tony had found a new home. I saw him first on the play-· ground, and then minutes later inside the building when the bell had ended the recess. His face sopping with suds and water, Tony ran up to Father Hogan, Father McCarthy of Catholic Charities and me. "I have something to show )"QU," he said, and away he ran to come back with a shoe box. Proudly he lifted the battered Hd to reveal a wind-up train with a few ears and a twisted rail or two. - "And it works," he told father. "It works like a real train." Another bell and Tony was off to class with 50 others in four big, airy rooms. Inside with Sister he buried his face· in a book, struggling to translate in his Spanish mind the English writing, but always there was that smile of happiness and peace. He has erased the pain of a man and a woman who had deserted him; the sisters and Father Hogan fill his needs now and will until something per­ manent turns up. Mter aU he's only 6% and already there's a life time or two behind him. Joe is on the other end of his life. He's nearly 96. But he has a lot in common with Tony. Joe lives at Our Lady'. Haven in Fairhaven. Joe had a full life, success, a happy family, a nephew a priest, but he is alone in the world as far as relatives are concerned. The nephew priest, a Jesuit, is fighting illness in the sun of Arizona, and he writes regularly but can't visit. Joe's wife died six years ago. Their daughter, a Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year at col­ lege, died of cancer 9 years ago. Joe tells of them with pride and without tears.

mine the extent of the crisis in morals today, some standard "outside the crisis" is needed. The ground for proper judg­ ment would be found more readily in the writings of his­ torians than in the statistical studies of sociologists, the Bish­ op said. Historians can make comparisons with earlier ages and "are not wedded too much to the passing and fleeting," he added. Bishop Sheen said this era's major historians - he men­ tioned Spengler, Sorokin and Toynbee - all have concluded that the West is in a periOji of crisis and possibly decline. He said there are grounds for hope, however, in the fact that modern psychology was working toward the "integration of per­ sonality," and that educators, who had divorced intellect and will, are rediscovering the need for discipline.

They were trying a case in moot court. to-become words of commendation and ad­ According'to Webster, this vice. But from one 'of the judges, is "a mock court, such as the Hon. Charles Fahy, the mes­

The real judges, robed ill the sombre &arb of their calling, w ere generous­ ly giving of their time and experience to simulate real courtroom proce­ dure. It was our privilege to sit in

on this trial spin (forgi"" the pun) for the would-be lawyers, carefully picked for excellence in their respective schools of law. These were six earnest young men, three on each side of the argument, who quite sh<>rtly would take their places in the noble profession of the law. It was a poi g nan t and meaningful experience, even for us, the spectators, and vastly more, so for the emerging young legal eagles. Three weeks of intensive study (d the case before this moot court had preceded this evening, and the filing of ca~efully com­ piled briefs. Now the "lawyers" were about to present in person their arguments. Hear Yet Hear Yet With the formal, "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!" court opened. All stood.

And so could we, as parents, Not having taken notes, I would not presume to quote Judge Fahy directly, but t~e gist of his remarks sank in 90 deeply, I should like to give you the thoughts that came through: Briefs "not brief enough." Time being precious, strip down what you have to say when it is important that you' say it. Don't muddle issues with a mul­ tiplicity of words. Know you case thoroughly. Make it a part, of you. Know the strengths of your case, keep them uppermost. Know also its weaknesses. He­ cogl1;~e the strengths of your opponent's case, and its weak­ nesses. Only by such knomledge will you be able to establish a perspective. In most cases, but not in' all, there is a crisis, a turning point, one strong pivot on which the case may win 'lr lose.

MOBILE (NC)-Archbis­ hop Thomas Joseph Toolen announced all Catholic high and elementary schools in the Mobile-Birmingham diocese will be integrated racially in Sep­ tember. "I know this will not meet with the approval of many of our people, but in justice and charity, this must be done," the Bishop of Mobile-Birmingham said in a letter read Sunday in all churches throughout the dio­ cese. "I ask all of our people to· ac­ cept this decision as best for God and country," the Archbishop added. The diocese includes all of Alabama and 10 counties in northwest Florida. The two Catholic high schools and eight grade schools in the Flor­ ida portion of the diocese were integrated racially last Septem­ ber. In all, the diocese has 15 high schools and 86 elementary schools with a total enrollment of nearly 26,000 students, accord_ ing to latest statistics. In the letter to his people, Archbishop Toolen said: "After much prayer, consulta­ tion and advice, we have decided to integrate all schools in the di­ ocese in September. "I know this will not meet with the approval of many of our people, but in justice and charity, this must be done. Accept Decision "I ask all our people to accept this decision as best for God and country. No matter what per­ sonal feelings are, the common good of all must come first. In this diocese we have always tried to give our Negro people everything that' we have given to our white people, especially in the way of education. "The procedure for admission will be determined by the pas­ tors and by Rt. Rev. Msgr. J. Edwin Stuardi, superintendent of schools. "Again we ask all our people to accept this regulation as best for God and country."

SAN PEDRO (NC)-An eter­ nal flame has been lighted here in memory of the late President Kennedy. It burns at the center of a marble and bronze plaque be­ fore a shrine to Our Lady of Peace outside Mary Star of the sea church on a hilltop over­ looking Los Angeles Harbor. . The plaque bearing the flame is inscribed: "In Memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 1917­ 1963." Msgr. George M. Scott, pas­ tor of this parish which includes rr..embers of the San Pedro fish­ ing fleet, told the story of how the eternal flame came to be placed there. "It all started," he said, "with the most ordinary request a

priest is apt to get from a pa­ rishioner: 'Father, would you light a candle for my intention?' "John P. DiMassa, the son of a local fisherman and a fish wholesaler himself, came in one day and said he and some friends wanted to have a candle'

Publisher Praises Catholic Schools AUCKLAND ( N C) - T.S.

He said the credit for this was due to the fact that Catholic schools have not abandoned the teaching of the'alphabet for p.honetics.

the Catholic Church is not being persecuted in Cuba. "Any statement that I ever made such an observation is a complete falsehood," he de­ clared. "It is common knowledge that a large number of priests have been expelled from Cuba and that the Church there is not free to operate schools and carry Oft ot~er teaching' programs," he said. Donovan said the statement to which he takes exception was attributed to him in reports and comments in the Catholic press following a talk he. gave at the National Press Club in Washing­ ton. On that occasion, Donovaft gave a talk!-on another topic. At the end of his remarks he was asked from the audience wheth­ er or not Catholic churches are closed in Cuba. Donovan said that every Catholic church he saw in Cuba remains open, al­ though hampered by a scarcity of clergy. Donovan personally negotiated with Fidel Castro for the ex­ change of $60 million worth of U. S. medical supplies for 1,300 prisoners captured in the unsuc­ cessful Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961. For this, he received the highest decoration of the Amer­ ican Red Cross.

Triumphal Christ Adorns Church In Louisiana

MANCHESTER (NC) The Bishop who wrote the foreword to Mary Perkin's controversial book on Cath­ olic education said here he is personally committed to main­ taining and expanding the Cath_ olic school system as far as pos­ sible. "To set the record straight, may I say categorically at the outset that I am personally and by conviction committed to maintaining and expanding the Catholic school system as far as possible," Bishop Ernest J. Pri­ meau said in an interview. The New Hampshire prelate said, however, he is also con­ vinced there must be discussion of the problems facing Catholic schools and the Church must listen to the "voices from the pews." Mrs. Ryan's book, "Are Pa­ rochial Schools the Answer?" has stimulated considerable discus­ sion within the U. S. Church. It has drawn heated criticism from most educators and prompted national dicussion on the future role of parochial schools. Mrs. Ryan proposed that Cath_ olic schools be abolished. She said superior spiritual formation can be given more Catholic children in programs held out­ side schools and based on new movements in the liturgy. Bishop Primeau, who gave the imprimatur to the book and wrote its foreword, pointed out that "nowhere in that foreword did I end-orse the arguments of the main conclusion." Pertinent Questions "I did say," he continued, "that the author raised some very pertinent and very impor­ tant questions that need discus­ sion in depth if they are to be adequately solved. "This book, though summarily . dismissed by the preponderance of Catholic education authorities as extreme, will, however, prove to be the catalyst, once the pres­ ent heat of the debate is dissi­ pated, that triggered useful, nec­ essary and salutary discussion of the problems facing the Catholic school system." Bishop Primeau noted that the religious and the general educa­ tion of a child is the direct re­ sponsibility of the parents. "This, then, it seems to me, is a subject on which we must listen to the 'voices from the pews' whether we agree with them or not."

Cardinal Leger Say5' 'Society Is Rotten' MONTREAL (NC) Paul Emile Cardinal Leger cautioned here "our society is rotten" and headed for moral bankruptcy. Before a meeting of business­ men, the Archbishop of Mon­ treal pleaded for greater inter­ est in rehabilitation of ·youth. He said each year the courts throw back on the streets 1,000 young people involved in vari­ ous troubles and that $30,000 is needed for a center to educate the public about the need for youth rehabilitation. The Cardinal said last year 7,046 crimes were committed in Montreal by youngsters between 7 and 17 years old. He said youths were responsible for two murders and 25 armed robberies.

Bishop Primeau Explains Views On Ryan Book

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - A nearly lifesize triumphal Christ r-ather. than the usual Crucified Christ looks down at the altar and the congregation in the new parish church in Terrytown, a Louisiana suburhan subdivision. This portrays Christ "as he actually is now, living and reigning in glory," said Father W. Michael Landry, pastor. "Instead of presenting the Re­ deemer as a helpless sufferer," said Father Landry, "it stresses -his role as a willing High Prie~ Instead of confining the me.... sage to the anguish 'of the world,· it evokes the glQry of His Resul'­ rection and at the same time His living presence as sovereign Lord, Christ. the King." . 'I1he theme of the Hving Church does not end with the triumphal Christ in the church. It is carried through in the altar designed by Father Landry. The base of the altar is like a tree trunk. It is made of white oak and finished in "pickled green," said Father Landry, "to remind us that it is a living tree, even bearing the living manna from Heaven." The altar table is a perfect elipse, a symbol of the risel\. Christ and the Resurrection. The two halves of the exposed steel roof of the Church slant skyward as they approach the center, giving an impression of praying hands.

Parents Should Prepar'e Children for Marriage LOS ANGELES (NC) - Par­ ents are the forgotten people in preparing young people for mar­ rIage, according to the founder and director of a family clinic here. "Young people do not know what is expected of them," James J. Rue said in an inter­ view. Deeper knowledge and full preparation for marriage are badly needed, he added. "It is needed most by parents, more so than by young people, because it is the basic respon­ sibility of the parents to prepare young people for marriage. But it is evident and sadly proven that our parents are not doing their job." Rue described the successful family this way: Dignity of Marriage "Blessed is the home that has a respected, responsible and loving father who knows what he's doing, and a mother who knows she's not a man and who enjoys her femininity." • The three _ year - old Sir

Thomas More Clinic, which Rue heads, has five counselors quali_ fied in marriage counseling, psychology and' social work. It also has consultants in gyne­ cology, pediatrics, internal medi­ cine and psychiatry. Referrals are made by courts, physicians and pastors.

here," Rue declared. "Even when a situation seems hopeless to either husband or wife, our experience has shown that through reevaluation of their relationship very frequently re­ concilation results with each finding the satisfaction desired." In America's culture the father is the key to the success of the family, Rue believes.

Remembrance in Mass

Says 'Clod'.Human Variety. Is Selfish, Materialistic

God Love You By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. The other night, an athletic director said to me: "Please re­ member my grave need in Mass tomorrow." Suppose I had answered him: "Give me a dollar and I will give you this," then handed him an embossed printed card reading, "You will be remembered in my Mass." Or suppose I took advantage of the grief of a neighbor and passed out cards at a funeral home, promising to remember the deceased in a Mass for a dollar or more. Would not this be converting the Via Dolorsa into the "Via Dollarosa" and making prayers a "racket"? .

By Joseph T. McGloin, SJ. Of all the slang terms invented, "clod" may well be one 6f the most descriptive. Just when it was _invented, we don't know, but it goes back quite a ways, because we read in Proverbs 8/26: "While as yet the. earth and fields were not made, nor the first clods The pre-teen who is dating and -fif the world." Now the otherwise trying to act (and the Scriptures may not be re­ word is "act") like an adult, is a ferring to human type clods pre-teen-aged clod. ?

...

here at all, but the fact remains that clods, human and' otherwise, go back quite

some little ways

in history. The

only thing is

that the human

clod is harder to

re<:ognize

tight off, than

the clod who

is, technically at

least, inanimate. Mr. Webster de_ fines a clod as . "'a lump or mass, especially of earth; -that which is earthy and of little value," and in this definitio~, he comes -.p with a good description of 1he human clod as well as the literal variety. Of Little Value If ever anything was a lump, er of little value, it is a clod. And it has two mr,j.n' character­ i.tics: it's made up largely of dirt, and Ws inert. The unique aspect of the human clod is that he thinks he sees only clods around him, largely because he's afraid to take a good honest look .t himself. The human clod is one who has no sense of values~ He's the boy with a faraway look in his­ eye, absent-mindedly tearing up a i:hapel book while the Sacri­ fice of Calvary is going on be­ tore him. ,The clod is the guy bragging about his "making out," or drinking 100 much; or it's the gel who equates popularity with a free use of sex and who con­ demns 'her ,girl friends who do have character as "squares." The elod is the gal whose biggest ambition in life is to be "Miss I'lashbulb, of 1963," or the guy who goes to school only because most people his age do so, or who wastes three months out of every year lyinh around a beach or driving around aim­ lessly in a rod. The clod is the loud-mouth who tries to get a crowd follow­ ing him along the wrong paths, because he's scared to be alone. It's, the guy or gal who tries to mnke virtue seem square and vice seem cute and beautiful and -the thing to do." "Clod," in ether words, is a darn good syn­ ,GIlym for "slob." A clod never grows up no matter how ,old or big t.t gets.

Catholic, Orthodox Ties Now Closer CEDAR RAPIDS (NC) - The 900-year-old sputbetween the - Catholic aOllOrthodnx Churcl>es 'has been 'nar'l"Owed considerably through the meeting last .Janu­ ary of Pope Paul VI and Ortho­ dox Patriarch Athenagoras I m. .Jerusa1ert'1, Orthodox A l"chbisnop Michael G. Shaheen of Toledo, Ohio, said here in Iowa. "Thanks to Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI, the doors have been opened to greater under­ standing between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches," said the Archbishop, who came here for an ordination ceremony. He said that since the Janu­ fJlty meeting he has visited a number of Catholic prelates m various dioceses, "strengthening the relationships begun by P.ope Paul and Patriarch Athena­

:~as.

The teen-ager,too, who pre­ sumes that certain external achievements-like proving he has a filthy mouth, abusing dat­ ing, drinking, and other such lovable traits of the immature­ are signs of maturity is a teen­ aged clod. Well-Dressed Type I 0l!ce watched (and listened to) four well-dressed, good­ looking young men at a drive-in restaurant, who began their cul­ tural display of the day by pouring mustard on each other, then squirting pop, then pro­ claiming their displeasure to the wotld at large in some filthy, bilt hardly original, shouting. Quite obviously, these were nothing but well-dressed clods. Not only that bul they were pro­ claiming it loudly and publicly, much to the disgust of the hu­ man beings in the vicinity. The clod is the ''1ife-of-the­ 'party" type, the show-off. It's the gal who shows off well nigh all. she has in an immodest dress or bathing suit. Or it can be the escape artist--the guy who con­ tinually dreams because he can't face reality, or the gal who doesn't want to learn much about-life's real facts lest it de­ stroy the romantic notions she's picked up from TRUE STORY. Combina.tions of Varieties In brief, the clod is selfish, self-ceintered, and materialistic. All he cares for is himself, and all he wants for himself is his own oomfort and pleasure, no matter what this may cost every­ one else. He's the sun and we're all his -planets, The clod may be handsome or beautiful, rich or poor, on foot or in a convertible, personable or dull-but he or she is still all clod. "Love" is a word tha,t means self - gratification and every­ body, in his mind, loves him and wants his love-which he~ll see about giving in return when he decides who deserves it. There are spiritual, intellectu_ al, moral, and social clods. And there are infinite combinations of these varieties. -It is true of course, that we human beIngs were made "from. the' slime of the earth." The pity is that some have to stay that way.

CONVICTED: Fat her Lionginas J ankus 01 Brook­ lyn, N.Y.• formerly a parish priest in Skuodas, Lithuania in 1941, was recently sen­ tenced in absentia by a Soviet court to a 15-year jail term on charges of killing Jewish prisoners of the nazis during World War II. Father Jankus had den i e d the charges and stated that he and his parishioners actually aided those persecuted. NO Photo.

Evening Wedding Masses Allowed DETROIT (NC) - Archbishop John F. Dearden has given CGn­ ditional permission for evening wedding Masses in the Arch­ diocese of Detroit. The permission will be granted upon request of pastors to the Chancery Office. The evening nuptial muses may not be held on Sunday or Holydays of Obligation nor may they be scheduled for Saturday, the evenings before holydays, the Thursday before the First Friday of the month, or' on -a day when they would interfere with scheduled parish devotions. The evening wedding Mass is also limited to the hours between 4 andS P.M. Mixed marriages in church may be planned under the same conditions and with the same limitations as the eve n i n g wedding Masses.

Student Council

CALLING ALL CATHOLIC PEOPLE! Put this Dote Into 70ur prayer book: 1. You are already remembered In evelT

Mass by every priest in every part of the

world. This is true of the dead as well as

the living.

2. You have a pastor, and he is obliged to

read Mass for you-not just to remember

you - almost one hundred times a year.

3. Never pay anyone a cent for a mere

"remembrance in Mass," even though you

get an embossed card with yOur Dame in

Gothic print.

4. There is a difference in having a Mass

offered in justice for yOur own special in­

tention and making an offering for a re­

membrance, which you already have in

justice.

5. The next time you are asked to buy a card promis~. ,"remembrance in Mass," tell the seller: "1 will give 70U some­ thing if you promise to FAST for me instead of pray." See how man7 will do that! They will take your money for pra7in:. which is ver7 vague, but not tor tasting, which is very hard. Go to your parish priest or diocesan director of The Society for the Propagation of the Faith and ask not for a memento, but that the renewed sacrifice of Christ be offered for you and you alone. The latter will send your stipend to the Missio.ns, where !lOme priests exist on $5 a, month. A priest in Afriea cannotsep.d you an elaborate card in thanksgiving. but ,he can lift up black hands holding a white Host - which is worth more than a thousand eards! GOD LOVE YOU to A.K.B. for $10 "In thanksdv.inc tor • fa.vor received from St. lude and Our Lady of Perpetual Help, I had planned to send flowers to Church. Instead, I feel tbe money might brin&"& flower of Faith to someone who seeks the true Church." ••• to W. and M.H. for $500 "Since God has dven us a bit more than the necessities of life, 'we want to I'ive this money to the Missions. We were saving this for our retirement, but think the poer can use it more than we." ••• to A.W. for $5 "I:a thankS&ivJnc' to the Sacred Heart for & favor receiveil'" Send us your old gold and jewelry -the valuables you ~o longer use but which are too good to throwaway. We will resell the earrings, gold eyeglass -frames, flatware, etc., and use the money to relieve the suffering in mission lands. Our address: The Society for the Propagation of the -Faith, 366 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10001. . Cut out this column, pin your sacrifice to It and maD II to the Most Rev. FultonJ.

Holy Family Tops Na.rraga.nsett· Debating League Third Yea.r The Narragansett Interscholastic Debate League completed its regular season recently with Holy Family High School of New Bedford on top for the third straight year.

was so much you didn't see ­ and small wonder. A guidebook notes that.it would take 5 hours a day for 30 days to see all the Fair has to offer. But you've had a wonderful time and you've filled three days with memorable sights for which you are grate­ ful. The five hour bus ride back home gives you time to think a·bout what you'll tell the folks. You know they'll want to go to the Fair, and you feel like going back with them. You'll tell them to be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes even though they can tour the grounds in six different types of vehicles. You'll warn them to be sure and have a .good piCture map of the Fair as it's easy, easy to get lost and easy too not to find some particular exhibit you wish to view. You'll inform them that the Fair itself is not expensive to see, for 75 per cent of the exhi­

bits are free. And the cheapest transportation is the 15 cent

subway which gets you from Times Square to the grounds in . 20 minutes. Food is plentiful, with 75 restaill'ants available,

although the CYO'ers found the bus terminal restaurant in the transportation area the best for

the pOOr man's pocketbook.

be sure not to miss "It's a Small

Befitting Christians And you're sure to tell them that 1,000 people from the Fall River Diocese not only' enjoyed themselves and got a look at the history of culture, material pro­ gress and the future, but con­ ducted themselves in a manner befitting Christians.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Apr. 30, 1964

Prelates Discuss Remaining Council Continued from Page One

. REMOVE SECRECY? BEA: No. What has been done for the press during the second session is sufficient. There can rise undue influence and pres­ sure. SIRI: No. Everything that is in the process of formation, even though merely civil, must reach a certain perfection before being communicated to the public. Be­ fore that moment, as everyone knows, even business firms, re­ serve is necessary. OTTAVIANI: No. It would make it easier for people not competent in the matters under discussion to speak about things which ought to be studied from a religious point of view, with­ out interference from those who follow principles of a social or nationalistic nature." MAXIMOS: "We see no major disadvantage if they (meetings) were not secret."

PROPOSED 'SENATE?' BEA: Pope Paul made various references to the matters * * * difficult to foresee its form * * * it depends on what the Pope de­ sires * * * the council' cannot limit the Pope. SIRI: Test vote on collegiality "is null because ~it was done without specifying the meaning of the term." On the Senate, it is up to the Pope. OTTAVIANI: As concerns the Senate, it is up to the free choice of the Pope.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY? BEA: Should be first on agen­ da for next session. "Religious liberty seems to be a theme so dear to the Church, and of such importance for our relations with non-Catholic brethren and, in­ deed, with Christians in general, that I do not doubt that it will obtain a very wide approvaL" SIRI: Council need not discuss it. "This doctrine is .already quite clear and precise, at least for those who know it. The schema which was presented was not right." OTTAVIANI: "Likely" to be discussed early. It is necessary to complete the discussions be­ gun in the 2nd Session.. MAXIMOS: It will be dis­ cussed during the 3rd Session and it win pass. LARRAIN: One of the first problems of the 3rd Session. "I believe the great majority of the Fathers win give their approval to the general ideas contained in the schema (Ecumenism). Cer­ tainly at this moment in world history, when in practice a true religious pluralism exists in most nations, and when on the other hand the ecumenical movement is growing and developing in the spirit and hopes of all Christians, this chapter win be of great im-, portance for the future of the Church."

THE JEWS? BEA: Opinion is the same as regarded religious freedom "both as regards discussion and ap­ proval.'~ ReI a t ion s between Catholics and Jews "could pos­ sibly be treated together with the question of relations with monotheists and non-Christians in general." SIRI: No. "Better not to speak of it, because, to speak of it, woe should first of all say what our Lord Jesus Christ and St. Paul said of the great drama. To speak without mentioning that would be a real error and I do not think that it would please the Jews very much. Let us leave them alone and pray for them and let us love them as broth­ ers."

Also listed 'are 4,594 missions, 1,502 stations and 12,076 chapels-an increase of 48 places where Mass is offered regularly. Educational Institutions A high of,14,370 separate edu_ cational institutions, 185 estab­ lished during 1963, include: 1~2 diocesan semin'lries; 459 rell­ gious communities' seminaries or novitiates and scholasticates; 295 colleges and universities; 1,557 diocesan and parish high schools; 90 private high schools; 10,452 parish elementary schools, and 450 private elementary schools. There are also 144 pro­ tective institutions, with 17,443 youths in attendance. Full-time teaching staffs of all educational institutions under Catholic auspices increased by 7789 to a record total of 191,125, c~m~rising 11,697 priests; 1,126 scholastics; 5,726 Brothers; 104­ 441 Sisters, and 68,135 lay teach­ ers. There are 52 fewer priests; 21 more scholastics; 264 more Brothers; 2,098 more Sisters and 5,458 more lay teachers than a year ago. New educational institutions include five diocesan and five religious communities' semi­ naries established during 1963.

Support Schools The year 1945 generally is considered the beginning of the nation's schools enrollment boom. A comparison compiled by the directory shows how Catholics have met the demands of supporting and expanding their schools while contributing tax support for public schools. The comparison of the number of schools and total students re­ ported in the 1945 directory with the same categories in the new directory shows 3,314 more in­ stitutions, an increase of 33.7 per cent; 3,449,302 more stu­ dents, an increase of 133.2 per cent. The comparison excludes orphanages and protective insti­ tutions: The upward trend in Catholic college and university enroll­ ments for the 11th consecutive year is reflected by an increase of 8,408 college students during 1963. Current enrollments now. total 366,172 or 73.6% more col­ lege students than ten years ago -an increase of 155,252 over the 210,920 in 1954.

Catholics Reject 'New Morality' TOLEDO (NC) - A regional meeting of the Federation of Catholic College Students has rejected the opinion prevalent among today's college students which would grant freedom in sexual behavior. The delegates at Mary Manse College here adopted· a resolu­ tion which stated: "We recog­ nize our obligation to condemn the position of our fellow col­ lege students who urge that 8 completely relative moral code replace the traditional moral law. We strongly uphold the Church's as well as other reli­ gious leaders' position that pre­ marital sex is always wrong." The resolution deplored the fact that "those who acclaim the 'new morality' do' not explore, its full implications. "We, as Catholic college stu­ dents, commit ourselves to ac­ tively witness the truth of our position - the traditional moral law." it stated.

ANCHOR­ 17 Seven Priests of Fall River Diocese Belong THE Thurs., April 30, 1964 Encyclical To World-Spanning Assumptionist Order Continued from Page One

A community linked to the Fall River Diocese by many ties is that of the Assu~p­ tionist Fathers. No less than seven men from this area are members of the world-spannmg congregation. Two of them, Rev. Leopold L.S. Braun and .Rev. Joseph .F. Richa:rd, both of New Bedford have had the unique assignment of serVIng as CatholIc chaplaIn to the foreign colony in Moscow. T ~ d a .y the "Assumptionist . .

He is in charge ofa ~"'all chapel in his own apartment and he has three Masses ~ach Sunday for the benefit of Americans and other foreigners in the Russian capital. "Total attendance for all Masses varies from 75 to 100," he says. He is the son of the late Frede­ rick and Suzanne Richard of New Bedford. A brother and sister still live in New Bedford and another sister is a resident of Nantucket. He attended St. Joseph's grammar school and went from there to Assumption High School in Worcester. Fath~r Braun, first American priest to serve in Moscow when diplomatic relations were re­ sumed between the United States and Russia in 1933, was st~­ tioned there for .13 years. He IS now at AssumptIon Prepar~tory Sc.hool in .Worcester; 'A. sIst«:r, MISS BeatrIce Braun, reSIdes 10 New Bedford. Father Braun is well k nown for many pamphlets on Com­ munism a'nd the state of religion in Russia. While in the Soviet capital he was for more than H, years Apostolic Administrator as well as chaplain to the foreign colony. Father Eugene Laplante of North Dartmouth 'is teaching philosophy at Assumption Col­ lege, Worcester, after completing his studies for a doctorate i.n canon law at the Lateran Um­ versity in Rome. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene A. La­ plante of North Dartmouth and the grandson of Mrs. Marie Demers, also North Dartmouth. Father Desautels Very Rev. Armand H. Desau­ tels, a native of Fall River, is superior and president of As­ sumption College. He left for Rome at the beginning of this month to attend the general chapter of the Ass u m p t ion Fathers. Also from Fall River is Rev. Vincent A. Dalbec. He was vice­ president of Assumption College until last July, but since that date he has been secretary to the provincial of the North Ameri­ can Assumptionist province and provincial director of education,. residing in New York. This month Father Dolhec was elected president of the National Catholic Adult Education Com­ mission of the National Catholic Educational Association. Pur­ poses of the commission include coordination of adult education among Catholics, dissemination of information, interpretation of adult education, promotion of work in the field of Catholic adult education, and spreading of the teaching of the Church as they relate eternal truths to present problems. Famous in another way is Rev. Germain Guenette, New Bedford native known as "the dangling chaplain." He gained this nick­ name on a routine training flight during his army service when his parachute caught in the

of the Assumption. In 1917 an Assumptionist, Rev. Mary-Cle­ ment Staub, founded the Sisters of St. Joan of Are, dedicated to the spiritual and temporal wel­ fare of priests. They are active in over' 60 houses, including several in the Fall River Dio­ 'cese. Also founded by an Assump­ tionist were the Little Sisters of the Presentation for Congolese Sisters. A Third Order of St. Augus­ tine provides a tertiary aposto­ late for lay people in conner.tion with the Assumptionists. In all, say statisticians of the community, there are over 7,000 Assumptionists in 436 houses spread over 30 countries. FATHER DOLBEC, A.A.

Hutchins said the idea for the convocation has been "warmly approved" by United Nations Secretary General U Thant "and many others at United Nations in the secretariat and in many delegations." "I believe that Secretary Thant concurs in thinking that the encyclical on peace is ina­ dequently known, and is glad to encourage an effort of this dimension to bring it back into public attention," Hutchins said. The center president said the issuance of the encyclical, Pope John's last before his death, in April, 1963, "produced discus­ sion and excited hopes through­ out the world." Revive Discussion "Our intention is to revive the discussion by bringing to­ gether the best minds to talk about the encyclical's possibili­ ties for helping along those ten­ dencies to peace and cooperation among men that are beginning to appear," he said. He emphasized that the con­ vocation is not intended as an "interfaith conversation" about theological interpretation of the document. "Our concern," he declared, "is for the encyclical's poten­ tialities for constructive politi­ cal activity. We are far from having a chi eve d 'a peaceful world, and we need all the ideas and political perception we can get if it is ever to be brought about. "'Peace on Earth' provides a remarkable focus for interna­ tional discussion. It is addr~ssed to all men. It bears the influen­ tial stamp of the Vatican. It fur­ nishes a fresh look at interna­ tional affairs and an historic ap­ praisal of the issues dividing mankind."

Interfaith Dialogue Brings Understanding, Respect By Rt. Rey. Msgr. John S. Kennedy It is a -commonplace of show business that an identical theme will' suddenly turn up in several produCtions almost simultaneously set before the public. One lighthearted and amusing play or picture about a schizophrenic school girl who murders trash collectors . H H ' ev,eryone has a spoon"and should will open at the appy our be using it, to dig away at aniTheatre on the .same day mosities, misunderstandings, and that another opens at the all. sorts of needless and sense­ Gaiety Theatre just down the street. The phenomenon is not unknown in the book trade. An example is the appearance just now of Mind If I Differ? by Betty Mills and Lucile Hasley ( She e dan d Ward. $3.95) and The Wall .. Between Us by Betty King and Lorraine Juliana (Bruce. $3.75). The first is subtitled "a Cath-' olic-Unitarian dialogue," and the second "a Protestant-Catho-' lie Dialogue." In each case, the book began as a correspondence initiated by the non-Catholie's writing a letter to the Catholic commenting on something which the latter had published. As the exchange of letten continued, the idea of its being made into a book developed, much sooner in the case of the King-Juliana dialogue. They Still Differ In words which one is sure the other would endorse in their own case, Betty Mills put thus the purpose of the Mills-Hasley letters. 'I would like this dialogue to show that both of us learned something about some fellow Americans-some fellow travelers in God's world. I want this other American to say to himself, 'If a Unitarian-so far from the Catholics in belief - can have so much respect for their religion as to happily (yea, joyously) spend months learning about it, then I may be wrong in my attitude toward Catholicism.' And I should like your Catholics to say, 'Well their religion sure sounds strange, but if they're like her, they're pretty good people.' Is this much too large an order?" ·On the evidence of the two books, the answer is "No." In neither case do the correspondents change their originalpositions. Mrs. King, the wife of an Episcopal minister and herself a convert to Protestant Episco-5:J palianism from Presbyterianism, remains' staunchly Protestant Er' - -aI, with the accent on Protestant. And Mrs. Mills is not won over to Trinitarian conviction. The Catholic participants (both converts, incidentally) are as firmly Catholic at the end of the discourse as at the beginning. Become Friends But in each instance, strangers become friends, a close personal relationship grows, understandiog and respect are built up. And this is not achieved by the playing down or pooh-poohing of differences. The differences are there, are sharply defined, are emphatically insisted upon. No one can say that indifferentism is promoted by these noholds-barred discussions. Nor did either pair expect that every obstacle in the way of Christian reunion would be remove'd by their endeavors. As Betty Mills 'says, "I don't have any bulldozers or those great big yellow contraptions they change the face of the earth with. That's for the big I operators in the high councils of churches. All's I got is a spoon." She might have added that

less suspicions right in his own backyard. This is practical ecu­ menism for the layman. More Personal Letters Mrs. Mills went farther than Mrs. King. She attended an in­ quiry class for non-Catholics conducted by an unnamed Mon_ signor in the town where' she lives, Bismark, North Dakota. Her account of this experience is amusing. From being wary, she came to like the monsignor, and he encouraged her to put queries and raise objections. Many of these find their way into her letters to Mrs. Hasley, who sup­ plements the monsignor's an­ swers in her own inimitable and certainly non-mOIJ.signorial way. The Hasley-Mills letters have much more of the personal in them than do those between Mrs. King and Mrs. Juliana. Mrs. Hasley is incapable of writing a dull or stodgy line and Mrs. Mills is almost a match for her in wit and cleverness. One gets to know these two quite well (tooth trouble and all). Mrs. 'King and Mrs. Juliana, although very friendly, are some­ what more formal, and their style is less sparkling. In their letters there is more systematic discussion of doctrinal points, solid chunks of exposition and of argumentation which might have come straight from a man­ ual of religious beliefs. But just when this tendency threat­ ens to bring on dullness, there is a quick shift to everyday mat­ ters or homely illustration. Like Communion,pf Saints It is interesting to observe that, in each case, the non-Cath­ olic . feels strongly about sup­ posed Catholic excess in regard for Our Lady. Mrs. King is blunt and irreconcilable as to what she takes to be the Church's making a goddess of Mary, and strongly scores any attribution to her of the title Co-Redemptrix. Mrs. Mills is not so severe in her manner on this subject, but the idea of proclaiming Mary sole Mediatrix disturbs her: "It would appear that making her the sole Mediatrix would not help the cause of Christian Unity. Which Mary would rather have than another round of applause?" The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is another point to which both non-Catholics take pronounced eXCeptiOn. A very striking feature of Mrs. Mill's letters is her recital of the impression made on her by a visit, at the monsignor's insistent in­ vitation, to the sanctuary of his church and then to the sacristy.. What is unspoken here is quite as remarkable as what is set down. On the other hand, a doc­ trine which appeals to both Protestants is that of the Com­ munion of Saints. Both Worth Reading The name of Father Hans Kueng figures in both books, and the influence of his writings is vividly suggested. We find the Episcopal clergyman's wife read_ ing the Catholic theologian avid_ ly and making speeches about his views to non-Catholic groups. Curiously, both Catholic writ­ ers, in seeking to clear up the matter of papal infallibility, come up with about the same example in showing what it is not.

Under pro­ visions of the award, approxi­ mately 50 high school mathe­ matics tea c l" e r s will attend Saturday morning classes at Stonehill starting Sept. 26 ~'1.d continuing until May 22, 1965. Courses offered will include a full year of abstract algebra and one-half year of probability tl).eory - -l a"'llytic geO!!'~try.

Similar though they are in general, each has strengths and merits not found in the other. Perhaps next time around, all four ladies will collaborate on a single book, something like an ecumenical version of tag team wrestling. And by the way, it is strange that as Mmes.

Hous'e Committee To Reconsider· Obscenity Bill

In so doing they parted company with the illustrious New general manager's chair.- Auer­ York Yankees of 1949-1953 bach hasn't publicly evinced any vintage and the equally her­ such intention but it seems a alded Montreal Canadiens logical move if the opportuiuty

WASHINGTON (NC) The Post Office Committee of the House of Representa­ tives has bowed to the opin­ ion of the Justice Department, and agreed to reconsider a bill to curb the flow of obscene mail. Assistant Atty. Gen. J. Herbert Miller had expressed the opin­ ion that the legislation proposed by Rep. Glenn Cunningham of Nebraska could be unconstitu­ tional. Cunningham's bill would make it a criminal offense for a per­ son to send material through the mail arousing the recipient's "prurient interests" after he had been informed the recipient did not wish to receive the materiaL Due Process Clause _ Miller said the bill would vio­ late the due process clause of the Constitution and would make each individual the judge of what is legally an appeal to prurient interests. The House committee referred the legislation back to the sub­ coanrnittee that fashioned it and Instructed the panel to work with the Justice Department in an at­ tempt to produce a constitu­ tionally accepta ble bill. The sub­ committee was ordered to report back to the full committee by Thursday, May 21.

Peace Corps and Papal Volunteers Return Home with Deeper Spirit of Patriotism

WASHINGTON (NC) - Peace Corps volunteers are returning home from overseas service better men and women, and bett r - Americans. They are, in fact, a "new breed of Ameri­ cans." This is the testimony of their director, Sargent Shriver, who says business, education and government are bidding for their services. All the good things Shriver has to say about the returning Peace Corps workers could also ,be said bout the Papal Volun­ teers for Latin A:merica.

Father John J. Considine, M.M., PAVLA program director, finds that an impressive number of the returnees are anxious to continue their work for the Church in the United States. Peace Corps volunteers, says Shriver, measure their compe­ tence not by what they can do for themselves but what they can do for others. "It is no wonder," he adds, "that they are prime candidates for outstanding careers in gov­ ernment, business and educa­ tion. They have shown that whe!, a man gives of himself

for the betterment and develop­ ment of other people, he be­ cemes a b:":r person himself." Win Scholarships The same, of course, applies to PAVLA volunteers, who give of themselves to help others in a program directed by the Church. Already ret urn i n g Peace Corps men and women have won 94 college assistantships, fel_ lowships and scholarships, and mo~- than 300 businesses and corporations have indicated in­ terest in hiring returnees.

Nearly 700 volunteers have for!p.ally, applie(l for positions wit h the U.S. Information Agency, the State Department, the Agency for International Development, and the Peace Corps staff. At least 60 are al­ .ready working for these agen­ ·cies; Continue ,Studies Fifty-five per cent of re­ .turning Peace Corps volunteers are pursuing 'higher education programs. The PAVLA program is based ona three-year period of ser­

vice and the first volunteers are now beginning to return to this country. Several already are working for Catholic agencies, others are looking for such Church work as can utilize the skills and experience they gained a b r 0 a d. One young woman returnee, for example, has expressed a desire to work with American Indians on a re­ servation. . Of the 281, Papal Volunteers no\" in Lat'· America, about a score will come back to the U.S. this year.
