Father Clark, a priest of the Fall River diocese, and· native of New Bedford, has just re­ turned from three months in the Dominican Republic where he served as press information of­ ficer for the rel:ent International Marian and Mariological Con­ gresses there.

"The efforts of the nuncio _ effect a cease-fire," said Father Clark, "continue a tradition of Church effort to preserve peace in the country." The late dictator, Rafael Tru40 jillo, who was assassinated ill May, 1961, left the country "a heritage of (llvision" whicll makes "cooperative effort come hard," said Father Clark.

-{.

The substance of the Second Vatican Council's teachint on lay people is that they must develop a sense of responsi­ bility for giving witness to the teachings and love of Christ in their own Uyes and jobs. This can be done through the Church and its official or­ doctrine on the laity expressed ganizations, but also through by the council is that every bap. programs of purely lay tized person in the Church· it called to responsibility for the initiative.

Bishop John K. Mussio 01 Steubenville, Ohio, added that ·~the layman has every right to expect from the Church an opeal door to vital lay participation iD her affairs." ,The council's teaching, he said, "basically means that we all, laity, clergy, hierarchy, must realize that we cannot get along in our appointed work without the help of one another." Bishop Mussio remarked that one p~t trouble has been that· "too often lay activity has beea hesitant and ineffective because the layman himself has not bee!i sure where his place is and h01lr. far he can go."

Church musicians since ancient times, some 3,000 music educa­ tors were told here. . Auxiliary Bishop John J. Gra­ ham of Philadelphia and Coad­ jutor Archabbot Rembert George Weakland, O.S.B., president of the Church Music Association of America, urged delegates to the 16th annual convention of the National Catholic Music Edu­ eators Association to accept the challenge of providing artistic and inspiring musical settings for congregational singing of the vernacular Mass. "Pastors of souls," Bishop t'lraham declared in his sermon at the opening convention Mass in the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul "look tQ you to clothe the sacred texts in music of beauty and inspiration." Depends on Parishes He reminded music educators that the success of the liturgical 1'evival "depends on parishes, large and small," which must be provided with music suitable to ftleir needs and capacities. Archabbot Weakland of St. Vincent's Archabbey in Latrobe, Pa., in his keynote address at the opening general session saw con­ gregational participation in the liturgy ushering in a new era' ill Church music. "This period is new," he said, "precisely because the categories of music hitherto used in the Church, although adequate for ftleir time, are not sufficient to . meet all the present demands. "More than that, the new pe­ riod has committed itself not only to try to create the music needed now, but also to preserve tbe best of the two previous periods-the periods of Grego­ rian chant and classical poly­ phony."

By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. You hear a lot of "tsk-tsks" when rioting students in Central or South America show up in the papers or on the TV screen. On the other hand, many of these same tsk­ tskers apparently smile benignly on the revels of Fort Lau­ derdale, or tell themselves, as one parent did, "At least they get in trouble with a better class of person there." Which is much like the Englishman who, when his sons began to get in trouble con s : s ten t ]y in the neighborhood, bought them all motorcycles so they wouldn't cause any t r 0 u b J. e within 50 miles of home. We've worn our benign and tolerant smiles so long now at things which tear authority to shreds that we hardly realize we are doing so any more. We've always thought it cute and American to gripe at authority, or to boo the umpire, an outdoor sport the smallest boy learns when he is first dragged off to his first baseball game by Dad, the old pro. Poor Taste And yet this seemingly harmless and even inimitable descent into poor taste (and poor sportsmanship if you want to be honest about-it) is easily applied by Junior in other fields. If it's fun and American to boo an umpire, a symbol of authority, then he figures, implicitly, that you can despise and at least mentally boo authorities and symbols of authority in other fields-like at home or at school, for instance. He hasn't yet learned that baseball "is just a game" and life isn't. That old pro companion of his may, in fact, take one just as seriously as the other. In our day and in our country, we bow down so deeply before a word, "democracy," that we have not really investigated who this god really is, where he reigns and where he should not reign. As a nation, we have considered "democracy" so universally applicable that even peoples whose temperaments and natural way of life are diametrically opposed to our own must either worship this god or be classed as heretics. And as a result, we tend to substitute Castros for Batistas. Teens Make Decisions "Democracy" has become a by-word in some American families, too, with the family voting on decisions instead of following the natural authority inherent in any family. We've made a fetish of letting n deteen-agers "make their cisions," which sounds mce and grown up ar: d ~odern and ~ll that, but WhICh IS not as desuable as it sounds. True" any young person should beg~~ to make more and more deCISI0?S as he grows older, a?d mor: In the teen years than In prevIous years.

Honors Director ANNAPOLIS (NC)-A plaque honoring the memory of the late Fathe:- Robert S. Lloyd, S.J., was presented by FBI director J. Ed'­ gar Hoover to the Manresa Re­ treat House, which the priest di­ rected from 1935 to 1951. Father Lloyd founded an annual retreat for FBI agents and employees, attended by both Catholics and non-Catholics, at the retreat 'louse here in Maryland, and was known as the "unofficial chaplain of the FBI."

But these decisions are to be made when one has the back­ ground, which can only be ac­ quired with time and maturity. Great System "Democracy" is a marvelous word if you understand it. It is a great system of government­ at least for us. It exists, how­ ever, on the supposition that ma­ ture adults vote (not always the case, of course, but we hope for enough to make it workable), and not children. To speaI~ of the family or the school or the Church as a dem­ ocracy" would be a contrad£c­ tion. We don't vote with God to see how His Church should be run, nor how the natural and divine law should be worded. Nobody expects a star ath­ lete-a skating champ, for in­ stance, or a swimmer-to get anywhere without discipline. And yet, sometimes when it comes to emotional or spiritual or intellectual growth today, we often act as though any of these great prizes can be won painlessly and without guidance or discipline. Remain Immature When-adults do have this sort of immature outlook, it is not surprising that the young people they have influenced also re­ main immature for a long time. They will, for instance, quite naturally (a n d immaturely) consider their own 10 or 11 years of the use of reason as just as likely to comprehend the whole truth as years on years of dedicated study and carefully rea­ soned out objective judgment. The mature teen-ager or col­ lege student, for that matter, has one characteristic which shows her or his maturity perhaps more than any other-the rec­ ognition that he or she does not yet know everything, that others may have the truth even when this truth doesn't square with the way he or she wants things to be. The really mature boy or girl will recognize the need for authority right down the line­ God school the home, the Chu~ch. ' We are not born with maturity any more than we are born six feet tall. It has to be acquired gradually. You wouldn't expect any person to have all academic k now led g e automatically. Neither can you expect any sud­ den infusion of emotional, oh­ jective maturity, or the sudden ability to make all judgments wisely and well, without help and guidance. Christ's Hidden Life . God works with us, not direct­ ly and miraculously, but through His representatives, through His Church and that Church's some­ times stumbling min is t e r s, through the school and the fam­ ily. It's ridiculous to talk about obeying God when we don't even obey His representatives. "He that hears you," He said, "hears me; and he that despises you, despises me." One of the few things we know about Christ's hidden life at Nazareth (which lasted until he was 30, even beyond that magic, legal age of 21) was that "He was subject to them." A re­ markable thing this, that God was subject to two people who would have gone out of exis­ tence at any moment He stopped willing their existence, and we can't even seem to obey those whose creation we had nothing to do with.

Opposes Wea ken ing Statement on Jews BOUND BROOK (NC)-Any watering down of the ecumen­ ical council's -proposed statement on the Jews would be a blow to the council and the church, a specialist in Jewish-Catholic re­ lations said here in New Jersey. "It would be a black day in the council's history if it were to yield to the political pressure of Arab governments and substan-:­ tially change the present dOI;U­ ment," said Msgr. John Oester­ reicher. "The Church would thus be deprived of her freedom of ac­ tion and of her duty to spread the Gospel, in season and out of season," he declared.

Drama Director

NEW YORK (NC) - Father Gilbert V. Hartke, O.P., founder ana director of the Catholic University of America Players, recei ved a plaque at a sympo­ sium of Catholic Renascence So­ ciety at St. John's University here. The presentation by Barry Ulanov, society president, was in recognition of Father Hartke's quarter of a century of leader­ ship of the theater group which has won national and interna­ tional esteem. Speaking on the symposium theme, "Theme and Values in Contemporary Drama," Martin Esslin, English author, said there is hope for a return to tradition­ al metaphysical values despite the current tide of relativism. Esslin said political and social philosophy has worked a secu­ larization of drama. The denial of absolutes, he said, dissolved the traditional concept of human character and personality. Avant garde dramatists, ht. explained, have rejected the no­ tion of a soul and now describe man as a composite of moods or conditioned reflexes. The swing toward relativism has in turn created a problem of communi­ eations.

He received a letter from Am-. leto Cardinal Cicognani, Papal Secretary of State, stating the Pope had approved the request.

10 Civics Clubs Get Citizenship Awards Catholic Schools Sponsor Community Projects WASHINGTON (NC) - Ten Catholic school civics clubs have gotten "Good Citizenship Awards" for community projects ranging from a drive in support of public libraries to participa­ tion in the Fall political cam­ paign. The honors were presented by the Commission on American Citizenship of the Catholic .Uni­ versity of America which guides nearly 5,000 civic clubs active in the upper grades of parochial schools. The clubs, designed to deepen understanding of the principles of Christian citizenship, have operated this school year under the general theme, "Politics is Your Business."

Rigolo recently spoke to some 300 clergymen and architects at a symposium at Seton Hall Uni­ versity as part of the interfaith Festival of Religion and the Arts now in progress there. "Good architectural design does not necessarily take more money," Rigolo said. "Poverty is not sinful but the cheapness of bargain basement substitutes in church architecture is pro­ fane." Rigolo asserted that "the imi­ tation of dead styles or archi­ tecture is nothing more than a fake." He added "If it is not contemporary architecture, it is not architec­ ·ture at all.

Giving Means Gaining To the young, the old is often forgotten. To the mentally healthy, the exceptional child is unknown. To the well, the cancer patient is overlooked. But to the Catholic Charities these unfortunates are a daily concern. If the doors of the Homes for our Aged were locked­ would yours be one of the 700 homes that would welcome these senior citizens! If the classrooms of Nazareth on the Cape and the Fall River Home for .Exceptional Children were emptied­ try to designate one hundred families who could give tender loving care to these children, so close to the heart of the Almighty! If 1600 Bay Street, Fall River, became an abandoned building-what families would welcome incurably poor eancer patients into their midst for 24 hours a day. The sisters in brown, white, gray or black cannot ring the doorbell of every home in the Diocese-because they have pledged their lives to the dedicated care of others and thus time is of the essence. Throughout the Diocese on Sunday, thousands will be asked to dedicate a bit of their lives in the form of a mon­ etary pledge to keep these doors open, the classrooms fil­ led and the building permeated with love. When your bell rings, recognize in your parish sol­ icitor a sister pleading for her loved ones-your forgotten neighbors-Bishop Connolly's friends. As the fifteenth year of his Episcopate dawns, show your appreciation for his dedication to Charity by sacri­ ficing-a pledge of fifteen dollars over a period of twelve months. Prelate of Charity •••• Sisters of Devotion •••• Laymen of Sacrifice • • • • ... Blend the three and you understand why Charity is such an outstanding characteristic of the Diocese of Fall River.

Mother's Day For the past few decades, mothers have been glorified for one day-for twenty centuries mothers have been dig­ nified by the Church. Christ placed mothers on a pedestal. He did this in order that men would be obliged to look up to see her and thus see God who made her. Selfish men regard Motherhood as a very prosaic career. In fact, some will not allow Motherhood to be dig­ nified with the name of career. Consider each worldly career and you will find Motherhood embracing them all. Doctors seek to cure ailments-mothers are ever warn­ ing their children to prevent infirmities. Lawyers battle for justice in courts-mothers calmly generate justice in their own little domains and thus give just men and women to the world. Teachers instruct for one year­ mothers never cease to guide their offspring. Mothers are such sublime beings that even God wanted one. God Himself considered it a privilege to call a woman Mother, while we, his creatures, utter the word in a very matter-of-fact manner. ' So high was Mary in Christ's estimation that He anticipated His public life and worked a miracle at her bequest. Christ gave the world that lesson-but has the world practiced it! Christ, our Model, never forgot His Mother-even while suffering excruciating pain on the Cross of Calvary He. thought of her-He did not want her left alone-He did not want her neglected and 80 he placed her under the protection of St. John. Many preachers and i~numerable articles will denounce the commercialization of this day. But if it were not speci­ fied on the calendar, how many individuals would ever think of giving their mother one day in the year, not alone giving her an .entire year!

Always pee r i n g and pe e ki n g for new ways to increase the effectiveness of the Papal Volunteer program, the PAVLA office has arranged to have a session devoted to training volunteers. This Summer then the Catho­ :;ic University of America in Washington, D. C. will present a course for Papal Volunteers of the future. The theology of the Church will be one course offered. From this the pupils will lead into a course on principles of the spir­ itual life. The social doctrine of the Church 'will be mirrored by a course on the methods of the lay apostolate.

Doctor Jose· A. Baquero, di­

rector of the program, will in­ troduce the prospective volun­ teers to the comparative cultures of Latin America. Dr. Baquero is distinguished for his long ser­ vice to the Latin American world and is renowned for his perceptive insights into Latin American culture and ways. The course will fill in the weeks from June 23 to Aug. 6 and will be punctuated with field work exercises each week­ end. The Volunteers will go to the poorer parishes of Washing- • ton and assist in the social pro­ grams developing there. The ed­ ucation will be rounded out with films and lectures on Latin America. . It promises to be a heavy schedule but one that will en­ hance the ability of the Volun­ teers once they reach the field. Diocesan directors are also as­ signing assistants who :will be active in promotion work on the home front to the course. After the whirlwind course has been completed the Volunteers will proceed to the language training centers. These are lo­ cated in Brazil, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Another' four months of concentration on Spanish 01' Portuguese will enable the vol­ unteers to be adequately pre­ pared to talk· with and undel'­ stand the people of the southerll Americas.

The announcement of this Na­

tional Training Center marks a

further milestone in .the develop­

ment of the Papal Volunteer

effort. Home training has long

been considered an essential in­ gredient of a successful prepar­ ation. Those courses that have been provided throughout the country will not be usurped by this National ·Center. Rather all programs of home training that are worthwhile can flourish ill the field of volunteer prepara­ tion. The hot Summer of Washing­ ton will prepare Volunteers for the climate of Latin America.

The school will prepare for them

S. said here in Pennsylvania. The prediction was made by the Rev. Dr. Eugene L. Smith in a talk to 200 Protestant and .Orthodox leaders attending 'the annual meeting of the U. S. Con­ ference for the World Council of Churches. For Protestants, Dr. Smith said, increased contacts with Ro­ man Catholics will mean being "forced to deal with the funda­ mental question of truth in a Dluch more demanding way than in the past." ''We are going to be required to give a reason for the faith that is in US - to give it with clarity, with conviction, and to give it in the language of our own time," he said. "Our traditional modes of speech and habitual patterns of expression are not going to be adequate to this new chal­ lenge," he added.

MAYSVILLE (NC) - The Church wilil lose ground in many mission areas unless it utilizes airplanes, priest-pilot said in this Kentucky commu­ nity. Father Henry B. Hoff of New Guinea said missionaries "must seriously consider the practical use of the light aircraft to move people and cargo, to keep in contact with outlying areas and many other uses." A pilot for 15 years, Father Hoff is a charter member of the National Association of Priest Pilots, which plans its second annual meeting in Columbus, Neb., July 25-28. The organization "began as a general social gathering for priests of a common interest," said its secretary and co-founder, Father Robert Wendeln, but has since "grown into an oganiza­ tion with members and names in files from 45 states, 82 dioceses and 15 foreign countries."

toward "Protestantizing" the Church• Father McNaspy said that ele­ ments that seem Protestant are "actually Catholic in Tradition," but have not been emphasized for a time by the Church. Some examples, he said, are "empha­ sis on the word of God in Scrip­ ture" and "the sharing by all the baptized in the official worship of the Church." Change Father McNaspy said he ex­ pects further changes in the lit­ urgy. "But they will be in the direction of 'tradition' and quite opposite to the 'traditionalists.' " he said. "By this I mean we will have a liturgy that is more meaning­ ful, more functional, and thereby more sacramental," he said. The changes will. conform to "the longer and fuller tradition" be­ ing applied to modern times. "Our present liturgical devel­ opments," he added, "represent a convergence of aU the vital movements of Catholicism in this century." He admitted that he finds it "more comfortable to say Mass in the old way, but I believe that relevance is more imporant than comfort."

For some time we have suspected this, but only !'e­ eently have we become convinced. There is a small colony of leprechauns living at our house. It might not be a col­ ony, perhaps just a family. It makes no difference. The little people are mighty ac­ tive. You lay down a pair of in the box at the door. Where are the keys? eyeglasses, go to look for Only the little people know. them and they are not there. And they •...on't tell.

Why not? The little people have taken them. They seem to have a lot of fun doing these tricks, picking up stuff you've laid down, hid­ ing it, causing all sorts of frustration. The other day at the week-end gro­ eery period we came home with

an assortment

of goodies, among them a spe­

cial treat.

This was a package of sweet eookies, the sweetest of the 8Weet. You guessed it. When we went, near midnight, to serve this delectable dish, there were no cookies. Who got 'em'l The little people, of course. This morning we found the eookies.

No Glasses

That's the way it is with tile little people. They take things and they bring 'em back-when you least expect it. Usually after you've worn yourself out from looking. We go into the -living room, get the afternoon newspaper, settle ourself on the sofa for a spell of reading - and then cannot find our glasses. The little people have been at work. Ginny wants to take the car for a jaunt across the country­ side, to pick up one of her girl . friends, go shopping. The keys are not where they should be-

Cardinal Cushing Aids Harvard University CAMBRIDGE (NC) - Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston has given $5,000 to Harvard Univer­ sity divinity school for a eollec­ tion of books for Catholic studies. Dean Samuel H. Miller said the Richard Cardinal Cushing collection will provide a basic body of reference materials on Roman Catholicism for the Protestant seminary. He added: "For future minis­ ters and scholars, this will pro­ vide the necessary opening to an understanding of our brothen ill another faith."

01 Initiation Some 40 members, includin, 11 from Cepe Cod Circles, were initiated by the Daughters of Isabella at a ceremony sponsored by New B~dford Hyacinth Cir­ de at Holy Name Hall. The Hy­ acinth Circle glee club was heard and Mrs. Charlotte Char­ ron, state regent, was guest of honor.

It's got so you can't put any­ thing down, within reach of the little people-or it will disap­ pear. Anything they can lift. And they are mighty strong. They gang up on you, too. If one or two cannot handle a situation, they call in the reserves. That's how such ungainly objects as pitchers and tea-kettles and even roasting pans disappear. Everybody and his first cous­ in thinks that the little people live only in Ireland-that they are native to the land of the shamrock. Capitol Leprechauns That was so, until the begin­ ning of this nation. When the first Irish immigrants came over on sailing ships some of the little people came along with them, as stowaways. The late Justice of the Su­ preme Court, Oliver Wendell Holmes, said there was a nest of leprechauns on the Capitol grounds in Washington, and that their chief helped him in mak­ ing some of his celebrated deci­ sions. Once he told a newspaper friend on his saying, "I go out there on a rainy day to where they live, under a big oak tree, and have a talk with the chief. I tell him my problem, discuSll the law with him, and always come up with a good dissenting opinion." The little people, being Irish, are natural dissenters-in every­ thing but the art of taking ar­ ticles you are looking for. At our house we are convinced that the little people are a part of the household. On the theory that If you can't lick 'em, you must join 'em, every night at the cocktail hour we give a toast: '110 the Little People. But they pay no attention.

To Give Sex Education

TORONTO (NC) ~ Parenti who hesitate to give sex instruc­ tion to their children, lack a Christian concept, Father Leo Lafreniere O.M.I., told a parish group here in Ontario. "Parents will never scandalize their children when explaining to them the facts of life," said Father Lafreniere, retreat mas­ ter of Queen of Apostles Re­ treat House at Port Credit. "If parents knew the harm they are causing to soul and body of their children by their silence, they would drop once and for all their attitude of si­ lence - how vocations to the priesthood have been lost, how bad habits against purity were acquired very innocently by their children, how thousands of girls become pregnant each year and what a tragedy it is," he said. . . Father Lafreniere said there II an overabundance of don'ts con­ nected with sex. He added: "We speak of the ugly sins, as if there were pretty ones; of the animal insticts in men; of the repul.;. siveness· of sexual relations. We seem to forget that man was born to love, and love in human ­ beings is expressed ultimately in the union of man .and woman." Christian Life He recommended that sex 1ft.. atruction be gradual.

I can remember clambering over the rocks to .find a branch of berries and sit­ ting on the, hot rocks having a ,lunch of charcoal spuds and rasp­ berries. Personally, cultivated raspber­ lies have never had the same appeal for me as wild berries but we have grown them, ~or many years and the children love them. They may be planted anytime now and they are guar­ anteed not to fail. Few plants are easier to grow than raspberries. Since we have only grown red berries, I will limit myself to red Yarieties in this article. We have grown three red var­ Ieties all of which are good and reproduce very rapidly by un­ derground runners. 'Latham'

A good. spot for them, and one in which they aeem to thrive, is against a sunny ~all at the back of a garden. They like a mulch of old hay, but can get by, without it. Plant the bushes In rows about four feet apart and don't overdo it. '!'hey reproduce so rapidly that they are difficult to contain.

OTTAWA (NC) -A demantl that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation "clean up" Cana­ dian television programs has been made by some 76,000 Cana­ dian women. The demand was presented through books of petitions sign­ ed in various sections of Canada. A delegation of six women, led by Sen. Josie Quart of Sillery, Que., brought the books to the office of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. The petitions supported a "Declaration by Canadian Wom­ en" which asks that Parliament "end the domination of a minor­ ity who misuse the CBS to spread propaganda for perver­ sion, pornography, free love, dope, violence and crime." Three major women's organ. izations in Canada-the Catholic Women's League, the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Em­ pire and the National Council of Women~eclined as groups to support the declaration, but their rank and file gave strong sup­ port to the petitions.

'Say Decree Raises Status Of Eastern Rite Catholics

. ORADELL ~NC)-Cent­ ral financing procedures ancl a greater role for parents ill the conduct of parish schoo.

The Vatican Council's decree on Eastern Churches can help Western rite Catholics appreciate more deeply the universality and unity in variety found in the Church. For Eastem rite Catholics, it elevates their status even more in the Church, and for universal among western other Christians, such as the Church Catholics." Orthodox, it reveals the soli-­ Bishop Charles H. Helmsing eitude of the Church for the of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo" maintenance of ancient expres­ sions of faith. These evaluations of the de­ cree adopted at the end of the third session of' the council were gathered from several prelates by the N.C.W.C. NeWs Service through '3 questionnaire and a survey of formal remarks by bishops. 'Sacramental Life Bishop Nicholas T. Elko of the Pittsburgh Byzantine Catholic Diocese said practical effects he saw to the decree are that "the mode of eastern spirituality will diffuse itself and orientalize oc­ cidental spirituality." In addition, he said, "sacra­ mental life in the Eastern Church in the United States will be raised to at higher level be­ cause of practical usage that has come from the Roman rite, for. examp.ie, more frequent Com­ munioi), daily Mass attendance and celebratiolJ." Joseph Cardinal Ritt~r ?fSt. Louis said he thought It IS too. early to say what ~ffect the de­ cree will have on Eastern rite Catholic churches. "This must 2wait' • developments in those, areas of the world in which the Eastern rite and Orthodox ehurches predominate," he said. .

was asked if the decree's em­ phasis on preservation of rites within the Church suggested greater tolerance for variety within the Latin rite. The prelate, one of seven bish­ ops making up the U. S. Bishops' Commission for Ecumenical Af­ fairs, said that a lesson of the decree "is that rites and cer­ emonies certainly should be adapted according to the various cultures." "This is already being done in Japan in the use of liturgical ceremonies. For example, there is the use of the profound bow instead of the genuflection.

Jesuit Says Development of Food

Production Most Necessary

LOS ANGELES (NC) A Jesuit journalist said here India's main need is develop­ ment I)f food production rather than curtailment of the so-called population explosion. "Indiats government has made the 'population explosion' the "number one problem in the country, but this is unjustified," said Father John Barrett, S.J., editor of the Catholic News Ser­ vice of India, which has head­ quarters in Delhi. "I say this is unjustified be­ cause insufficient emphasis was put on agriculture during the first three five-year plans," he added. Father Barrett said invest­ 'ments under India's Socialist government were made in heavy industry, but added this should have been done only when agri­ culture was improved sufficient­ ly. Health Measures "The 'population explosion' is not due to an increased birth rate," the American-born Jesuit said. "It is due to the lessening of infant mortality and, to some extent, to an increase in life expectancy." Health measures resulting in control of epidemics and plague have increased life expectancy from an average of 27 years in 1937 to 46 years at present, he said. "Indian agriculture," Fr. Bar­ rett said, "has increased with the

increase in population, but it has not gained on the needs I)f the population. A large part of India's food is still imported." The 57-year-old priest, whf! bas spent half of his life in In­ dia, is also the editor of the onl-y Hindu Catholic paper there. Jt is 15-year-old Sanjivan, a week­ ly' eirculating in 19 dioceses from Bombay to Assam. It's title means "The One Who Gives Life."

Power of Love

South Vietn't.m Background For West's ,'Ambassador'

Go'd Love You,

,

By ~t. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Morris L. West's latest novel, The Ambassador (Mor­ -row. $4.95), represents a 'departure from his familiar scene and subject matter. It is laid far from Italy, on the other side of the world-in South Vietnam. And it deals with the endlessly, if not hopelessly, United States prescribe the con­ complicated situation there. duct of the internal affairs of A principal character is his country. Amberley therefore Phung Van Cung, who is recommends to Washington that

the United States abet his down­ fall through facilitating a coup by the dissident generals. The coup takes place, and Cung is murdered. He dies nobly" although ignobly slain. It ap­ pears that the way is now cleared for intensive prosecution of the war against the Vietcong. But in short order, all the crip­ pling factionalism is renewed. Amberley is distraught over the failure of a policy largely his and wholly endorsed by him. His distress stems not merely from the inglorious closing out of his career but also from the realiza­ tion that he has trampled down conscience and perpertrated an immoral enormity. Complicated Problem The sense of personal guilt is sharpened by revulsion from him on the part of Anne Beldon and George Gorton. These two, respectively the ambassador's private secretary and his very junior special assistant, have a strong affection, even devotion, toward Amberley. But his opting for a course they consider bru­ tally immoral chills their re­ gard. The topical aspects of this novel are more interesting than the personal dilemma of Max­ well Amberley. Mr. West evi­ dently knows well the dizzying complications of the South Viet­ nam problein and charts these clearly for the fasCinated reader. The latter is left with the feeling that no short term solution is going to work, and the American Involvement can hardly. have other than an unhappy issue. •Jealous God' ·John . Braine's .The Jealous God (Houghton Mifflin. ·$4.95) has more of the texture of a first rate novel, but it eventually

proves to be far less than that.

Despite its apt, homely, and

vivid detailing, it is actually an artificial construct, a thesis decked out in the trappings ·of fiction. It centers in Vincent Dungar­ van, 30, a teacher in a Catholic school in a Yorkshire city. Vin­ cent is the youngest of the three sons of Beatrice Dungarvan, 55, also a teacher. His brothers are married; he is still at home, cos­ seted and henpecked by his pious-poisonous mother. She insists that he has a vo­ cation to the priesthood,has ve­ hemently said so since the day of his birth, and constantly de­ mands that he act upon it. He· feels drawn to the priesthood, daydreams· of befng a celebrated: Jesuit scholar, yet holds back.

McCarthy Heads Imm~grationUnit WASHINGTON (NC) - Ap­ pointment of John Edward Mc­ Carthy as director of the Immi­ gration Department, National Catholic Welfare Conference, highlighted a revamping of the NCWC immigration services. The reorganization was di­ rected by the NCWC adminis­ trative board at its Spring meet­ ing here. McCarthy succeeds Bruce M. Mohler, who founded the NCwC immigration unit in 1921 and served continuously 'as its· di­ rector. Mohler was named Di­ rector-Emeritus of the depart';' ment and Special Consultant to the General Secretary of N.C.W.C.. The administrative boa I," d welded into one office the immi~ gration activities in New York of Catholic Relief Services ­ NCWC; the Catholic Committee for Refugees, and the New York office of the NCWC Immigration Department. The board also established an advisory committee on immigra­ tion consisting of Mohler, Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, .CRS­ NCWC executive director,and Msgr.· Emil N. Komora, execu­ tive director of the Catholic Committee. for Refugees.

Latin Church Seen U"ready To Meet Social Changes

WASHINGTON (NC) Coadjutor Bishop Clarence G. Issenmann, Apostolic Ad­ ministrator of the Diocese of

From ''The Church in the New Latin America" Edited by John J. Considine, M.M. We know that the Church carries its message through existing social structures. For this reason, the Church is also affected by this social change. The Church faces this social change in a very unfavorable structural situation. There is today about one priest in Latin America for just one set of norms, values, at­ every 5,700 persons, with a titudes and opinions; there are different values and norms em­ range that goes from 3,000, anating from secularism, Com­

as in Colombia, to 12,000 in Guatemala. In spite of the cdn­ siderable effort , made in Latin America as well as abroad, the demographic ex­ plosion surpasses any expectations ' we may have of maintain­ ing this propor­ tion. Thus, for example, in the last five years the increase of the Latin American population has been twice that of priests and seminarians. In the last fif­ teen years we have had an in­ crease of 12,000 priests, but the population has grown more than 50 million during the same period. This situation has important eonsequences for all religious in­ stitutions. The traditional pas­ toral structures, such as the J)arish, being so unwieldy, do not respond any more to the religious needs of the daily life of the people and must undergo a change. This must imply great­ er adaptability and decentral­ ization. Parochial structure has to be seen in relation to the area, density, methods utilized, and so forth. The area fluctuates between 100 and 600 square miles and the average parochial population varies between 10,000, as in Colombia, and 35,000, as in the Dominican Republic. More­ over, it is not hard to find cities with an average of over 50,000 inhabitants per parish.

Apparatus It is not enough to present this structural problem only with numbers. We have to see what has happened to the means at our disposal for evangelization. It is not enough to say that Latin American Catholicism is more than four centuries old. Tradition in this case is not suf­ ficiently decisive to communi­ cate by itself values, attitudes, and norms. There are people in­ volved; a sustained action is necessary to communicate Chris­ tianity. The channels we have used in the past to transmit the fundamental ideas of Christian­ ity have suffered deep social and cultural changes. In the, pas~ the transmissionQ~-the divine mes":, sage was easily accomplished, since we lived in a relatively unchanging monoculture, which generally facilitates and rein­ forces the transmission of ideas. There were many institutions, like the family, school, and par­ ish, that reinforced the doctrine preached by the priest. New Social Pattern Further, social control, which helps not only the transmission of ideas but also the mainten­ ance of a certain stability in patterns of behavior, was in times past extremely helpful in many ways. Authority was an­ other element in this kind of society to facilitate the -transmis­ sion of ideas. But today we live in a differ­ ent world. We can find now in almost all th<J areas of Latin America, in ',oar"'"., "".,rces, a pluralistic society.·~ . e is not

munism, and other sources. The intermediate groups, like the school, family and parish, do not reinforce the same doctrines, but .oftentimes are in competition, opposing the ideas that were communicated to them by the Church. Furthermore, social pressure is not as strong today as in the past. Living now in a more democratic society, we find that authority is continually being questioned. Therefore, a more personal commitment is needed, and we cannot count on the tra­ ditional way of transmitting the Word of God.

New Aids Needed To summarize briefly: at one time religious tradition could be maintained because of the rigidity of the fundamental social structure and the fact that, basically, social structures were identified with religious struc­ tures. In spite of the lack of priests, anti-clericalism, etc., the population then remained basi­ cally Catholic. But today these structures are no longer identi­ fied. Therefore we have to rec­ ognize that we live in a plural­ istic society, but unfortunately we are still using in many cases methods of evangelization prop­ er to a monocultural society. The mythical aspects of rural, tradi­ tional Catholicism do not re­ spond any more to the new values developed by a technical civilization. Religious rites are void of their content and have no personal meaning for ,the people, since the use of Latin has made the transmission of fundamental religious values difficult. The search for com­ munity, so characteristic of our days, is not in accord with the large formal structures of parish life.

Current Religious Allegiance What is, therefore, the reli­ gious situation in Latin Amer­ ica? To present this we can an­ alyze some indices of religiosity. First, there is religious affilia­ tion as expressed in the national ' census. The most elementary step in church affiliation is to say one is a Catholic.

C~rdi~@! Lercaro Discusses R~Qt't~!f\'I~~ in New Litur~v In a clergy meeting to his diocesan priests, Cardinal Lercaro, Archbishop of Bo­ logna and President of the Post-Conciliar Liturgical Com­ mission in Rome, outlined some of the reactions to the liturgical changes and showed how these reactions have become obsta­ cles to the Church's work. The reactions have not simply been pro or con. True, those who have in one way or another op­ posed the changes can be termed "negative reactions" but there are some passionate people wOO in promoting the changes have also acted in a "negative" man­ ner because they went too far. What is necessary for both cleric and layman is a (certain IE'vel-headedne:ls, submission to legitaimate authority and true Christian zeal and courage to do th~ work of the Church. . Some who have opposed the changes have seen in the litur­ gical reforms only the temporary victory of a certain small number of discontented idealists whose e!amor, after some time. will quiet down ann. thtngs will get back to normal. Such a presup­ position is false. The truths enunciated and the rules established in the Con­ stitution on the Liturgy are not thE' doctrine or opinion of some school or group. There is no group that has somehow stolen the spotlight and temporarily gotten control of the Church. The doctrine of the Constitution "is the authen­ tic doctrine of the Church. The reforms that flow from this doc­ trine are willed by the whole episcopacy and they have been a[,proved . . . decreed by the Soverign Pontiff." the Cardinal emphasized. True, there is contained no dogmatic definition in the Con":' stitution but "it is always true that this document will always remain a solemn and extraordin­ ary act of their magisterium and their authority and their power to "bind and loosen." There are some who believe

that the liturgical reform will prove harmful to the Church. "Behind such feelings, "the Ca\."'­ dinal pointed out, "there may he a badly disguised Pharisaism or anticlerical spirit . . . Normaily, these reactions are the conse­ Quence of psychological phenom­ ena which is, if not justified, at least comprehensible." The fundamental cause fur such a reaction is a "certain doc­ trinal insufficiency," the prelate explained. He innumer,ated the points mistaken as: "ignorance of what the Church is and the manner in which Our Lord savell ,us" Historically explainable are: "an ignorance of what the lit­ urgy is, especially the Mass; an ignorance of the value of the Word of God in our lives ... an ignorance of the transcendant incarnated reality in the church­ community, of the bond of su­ pernatural charity which unites the Mystical Body of Christ and of its community needs; an ig­ norance of the participation of the lay Christian in the priestly, prophetcial and royal functions of Christ and thus an ignorance of the laity's rights and duties; an ignorance of the development of th€: liturgy from the time ()f Christ and H1s apostles to our own day . . . " In elderly people, the Arch­ bishop explained, "there is added to this doctrinal insufficiency, the force of tradition . . . the force' of habit, 'routine' . . . . There is a cer.tain nostalgia pres­ ent which is the greater as the thing remembered is the older. Often there is al!>Q an instinc­ tive repugnance, a distrust of all that might seem new as if new­ ness carried with itself a certain innate suspic~on." Such reactions are normal and often are reduced to sentimental factors. Yet if they become ser­ ious enough, we are then faced with the disagreeable necessity of making an effort to break from this interior and exteriOt"

quietness to which we have be­

oome accostumed to.

'''We cannot be offended by

such resistence," the Cardinal continued. "We do not attach an exaggerated importance to them for daily experience teaches us how ephemeral they are. New generations, new peoples appear on the scene of life and world. They 'enter without effort, even with a serene and joyous under­ stllnding, into the spirit and 'the forms of the renewal of litur­ gical life." (N.B. Since the Cardinal re­ viewed the whole gamut of re­ actions and problems in liturgi­ cal reform, this article will be continued to include the Cardi­ nal's comments on: those who have gone too far, the vernac­ ular question and church archi­ tecture.)

Says Quarrels Over Money Threaten Happy Marriage

THE ANCHORThurs., May 6, 1965

By John J. Kane, Ph.D. "My husband, 43, has had little formal education. He was a slow learner and sent to special schools. He earns $99 a week but we have $1,500 in the bank and $7,000 in stocks. His only hobby is saving money. We live in an apartment, no attic, no cel­ wife to assume almost complete lar. It is an abominable care of finances. In other cases, neighborhood with prosti­ the husband may have to do so. tutes, alcoholics and such for But whatever the arrangement

O'Neill, super­ intendent of schools in the Dio­ cese' of Fall River, served as chairman of this first session. The convention is divided into three parts in order that all phases of education will be con­ sidered. There will be sessions for all and particular sessions for the elementary and high school divisions together with sessions on the various subjects in the curriculum. . The new science programs will be considered today. The widely-discussed new math \ViiI be considered in more than one session tomorrow. A special closed session foi' priests was scheduled for 1:15 today. William J. Wallace, J.D., counsel in the Massachusetts De­ partment of Education will speak on "State Law and the Private School." As the more than 800 religious and lay teachers entered the auditorium, each received aD 80 page booklet listing the schedule for the two days. One page was set aside as a memorial to the late Rev.

What to do?

About the only happy point I can get out of your letter is that your husband must enjoy his hobby tremendously. Most Amer­ icans overspend, some sadly so. But your husband overdoes it too in the opposite way. There is certainly some merit in being thrifty, but scarcely in being miserly. But I think you have provided a clue to the rea­ son for your husband's behavior. His lack of education or ability to learn may cause him to com­ pensate by saving money and thus proving he can get ahead financially. But to do so he penalizes his family unjustly. Premium Too High Your income which is about $5,000 a year is about $1,000 dol­ lars below the median family income today. Yet he has saved almost $10,000. To him this is a type of emotional insurance but the premium is too high. Perhaps you can convince him that with the money saved it is time to invest it, not in stocks and bonds, but in decent living. Certainly the neighborhood in which you live is scarcely a fit place in which to rear children. Persuade him that he doesn't have to go overboard, just try to provide a little better home in a better environment, ade­ quate food and ordinary clot)1ing. Family disagreements and outright quarrels over money are the most common types of arguments in marriage. They range from who shall handle finances to how much shall be spent by whom for what. There is no single answer to this type of problem and each family after honest experimentation must work it out. Include Children Usually, it is best for husband and wife to sit down and discuss money matters together. If the children are old enough, it is not a bad idea to include them too. Many families find a divi­ sion of labor the most practical approach. For example, the husband provides his wife with a set amount of money for food, clothing for the family and spending money, while he writes checks or in some way meets the usual obligations of mort­ gage payments or rent, gas, light and other expenses. Budgets are useful unless they become rigid, because no family can ever foresee even all the monthly expenses. There may be a sudden medical and drug bill, or some other type of emer­ gency. So it is wise to make al­ lowances for such if income permits. Reasonable Agreement But there arf' some cases in which one of the spouses simply cannot handle money prudently. Here it may be necessary for the

there should always be mutual discussion and hopefully reason~ able agreement. Apparently you have not been kept in complete ignorance of such affairs because you do know your husband's income and how much is saved. But what you have failed to do is reach an amicable agreement of disbursements. Sometimes problems a r i s e here when husband and wife are from different social classes because the luxury of one social class is the need of another. Generally, time and effort can resolve this kind of difficulty. Mental Condition But I am still forced to the conclusion that you may have tried all this without success. I wonder if your husband's mental condition is more serious than even you think? His distorted sense of values may be deeper. He places too much emphasis on the need to save. Money has become a par­ amount value with him. You cite his low mentality, and if true, this may be the problem. If it is only a matter of a low intelligence quotient, you may be able to persuade him to view matters differently. With per­ sons of this type a great deal depends upon the approach you use. A frontal attack is usele~s. Much tact and diplomacy are in­ dicated and he may respond to your suggestions positively. Husband Needs Help But your husband may be mentally ill. I would begin by discussing the matter with your family physician. If there is mental illness, he can advise you just what to do. In either case, separation is certainly no an­ swer. You seem to realize that your husband needs your help. That is one reason you suffer feelings of guilt when you think of leaving him. In the event you did secure a separation with the bishop's ap­ proval, it will not improve the financial problem. His income is quite low and his savings would not long remain under the eco­ nomic pressures of supporting two separate establishments. The end result might be even worse than your present plight. Make up your mind that some action will be taken, and begin, as I suggested with a full discus­ sion of the matter with your doctor. If he rules out mental in­ capacity, then you must turn to other professional help. Your pastor or parish priest can refer you to Catholic Social Service where there are trained case workers to handle such situa­ tions. The moment you begin to take steps to remedy the situation, your despair will disappear. This alone will help your relationship with your husband and I sin­ cerely believe bring about at least some improvement in the situation.

Newspapers, Radio Stations Subscribe To Service in Africa LEOPOLDVILLE (NC) -Father Joseph Ceuppens, a Scheut Father here; has ambi­ tious plans for D.LA., an African Catholic news service. Its exact title is Documenta­ tion et Information Africaines. Now it is published in French and Flemish, and Father Ceup­ pens hopes soon to have it in English as well. As he says, "Rome is insisting that every­ thing be put in Engli!!h too. We send it to all the countries in French, but if someone that day doesn't understand French, it is lost in the shuffle." He puts out a news service every day but Sunday, and has been doing it since January, 1956. Miss Christiane De Schrij­ ver, whose profession is journal­ ism, is director of D.I.A., while Father Ceuppens' title is presi­ dent. He says modestly that he is a counselor on various things, ecclesiastical, photography, and for documentation. D.I.A. has 97 subscriptions to the news service from news­ papers and radio stations; and another 110 for certain individ-

uals, who subscribe for their personal information and not for publication purposes. Then there are 510 to 520 religious congre­ gations, and individuals inter­ ested in the Congo, who also sub­ scribe. Father Ceuppens is rightly proud of his "morgue," where he has a complete file of the D.I.A. service, as well as 100,000 docu­ mentations on 900 subjects cov­ ering all of Africa. It is a re­ search library which D.I.A. uses to build up its stories, to provide background on any matter which may arise.

Fourth De­ gree Knights of Columbus win meet in the parisil hall at 7 to form an honor guard for the Bishop and will be entertained at a collation following the service. Refreshments will be served in 'the church basement for those confirmed and some 30 priests are expected to be among guests. J. William Bleau has been honored as "man of the parish" at a testimonial dinner in tribute to the work of hiJ social activi­ ties committees which have r"ised several thousand donars in 30 years under fiv(> pastors.

Delaware Adopts Control Program WILMINGTON (NC) - Dela­ ware has adopted its first state­ wide birth control program which permits public health nurses and qualified employees to give family planning infor­ mation when it is requested. Dr. Floyd 1. Hudson, execu­ tive secretary of the State Board of Health said: "I can't see any­ thing in it to which Catholic groups could object. Those who discuss a situation with one of our nurses can be referred to a Catholic agency for help. Others can . be referred to Planned Parenthood." The program went into effect after the board adopted a writ­ ten statement outlining the policy which says "information and medical '1ssistance, by quali­ fied professionals" will be dis­ pensed with on a voluntary basis.

Educational Association Meets In Spirit of New Optimism NEW YORK (NC) - This year's convention of the National Catholic Educational Association was a time o( renewed confi­ dence and high spirit in sharp contrast to last year's gathering. In 1964, the educators were stunned by a barrage of heavy criticism from big-name Catho­ lics and from othe'rs outside the Church. They spent four gloomy days in 'Atlantic City, N. J., de­ fending, often with anger, the future of parochial schools.

... AUXILIARY: Msgr. Frank H. Greteman of Carroll, Iowa has been named titular Bish­ OD of Vissalsa and Auxiliary to Bishop Joseph Mueller of Sioux City. NC Photo.

Differe\lt In New· York, however, the mood was different. There was a feeling in the speeches and dis­ cussions that in the interval since Atlantic City, the evidence had come in and that 1964's charge that the schools were

outdated and their days num­ bered had been disproved. There were many candid dis­ cussions and criticisms, ranging from Cleveland Auxiliary Bishop Clarence E. Elwell's strong dis­ agreement with money-raising projects in classrooms to the concern over greater academic freedom of Gerald Kreyche, chairman of the philosophy de­ partment at De Paul University, Chicago.

On

the whole, the reaction was to get on with it. "There'i1 too much spinning of wheels on some questions," said one prom­ inent NCEA official. "If I hear once more the statement that there are too many Catholic col­ leges, I'll scream. Let's get down to case;- and act."

Jose Sal­ cedo as "the greatest cultural work in Latin America," accord­ ing to a' Colombian priest who visited Moscow. Msgr. Gustavo Vivas, writing in the review Incunable about Accion Cultural Popular, the lit­ eracy drive begun by Msgr. Salcedo over Radio Sutatcnza in 1947, recalled that he went to Moscow in 1960 as part of a del­ egation from Fordham Univer­ sity in New York. He continued: ''The director of the Russian­ Latin American house where I was staying in that city told the 25 of us who formed the visiting group-without knowing that I was either a Colombian or a priest-that the greatest cultural w;ork in Latin America, and a wOJ;"k very highly regarded by the Soviets, was Accion Cultural Popular." . Mass Culture Msgr. Vivas said the director noted that the organization had' put radio at the service of mass' culture. He quoted the Russians as adding: "But it is a shame that it is in the hands of the Church;!' that obscurantist, retarded and medieval organization." Msgr. Vivas also said: "Five years ago, the Russia government offered Msgr. Jose Salcedo • <) <) all the radios the Colombian farm worker would need to profit from the educa­ tional program of his organiza­ tion, provided that he put OIl each radio 'Gift of the Soviet Union to the Colombian People.'
