However, the rise in population from 240,000 to well over 300,000 in the diocese manifests the need for more laborers in the vineyard of the Lord. lJishop Connolly stated in a letter read in all the parishes of the diocese on last Sunday that with the growth in population there is "need for new parishes Turn to Page Seven

Less than 25 standing of himself and of his percent of the films were relationship to his fellow man found suitable for family and and to God." "How is this potential of the teenage viewing, and only 11 films received a "general audi~ ence" classification. These statistics were recounted in a report· on the condition of motion picture production and distribution in the United States contained in the May 15 issue of NCOMP's Catholic Film Newsletter. "If parents are concerned about current film fare," said Father Patrick J. Sullivan, S.J., NCOMP director, "these statistics should suggest that their complainl is amply justified. And they should also prompt exhibitors to ask some hardened questions of producers." The NCOMP report and analysis were tied to the observance of World Communications Day, May 18, an annual day of recognition by the Church of the importance of mass communications. "Readers familiar with the policy and work of NCOMP," the report said, "need no reminder that this office, even as the Church, has long affirmed that the motion picture deserves respect and support from the public because of the unmatched potential it possesses for helping a person reach a better under-

The Attleboro parish contributed $15,391 and the Taunton leader, $8,184. St. 'Francis Xavier of Hyannis paced the Cape & Islands parishes with $15,677.

"The people of Southeastern Massachusetts are tremendous," said the Cape Cod lawyer as the final figures were tabulated. This year's final exceeds the previous high, achieved a year ago, by $12,896, Attorney Smith revealed. "The Fall River Diocese, always known for its' charity and concern for the needy, continues to be an example of the love of neighbor preached by Christ," declared Msgr. Gomes.

Norris said that CRS wants to inform Caritas International in Rome of wha,t planning is going on here and ask them to try to be of assistance to the people of Vietnam in their post-war rehabilitation effort. Caritas is a relief organization composed of national Catholic Charity agencies in many countries. . "We are l;lspecially interested in what thinking is going on in the use of the private sector in post-war rehabilitation," Norris said. "The private sector can have many aspects, but I am especially interested in what the social welfare agencies might be able to do as well as the kind of organizations we support and help, such as credit union~, co-

operatives and others of this type." , Norris met officials and staff members of Vietnam Caritas and found that "Caritas is working under very difficult. circumstances and with very limited resources." "I have a preliminary conclusion that there should be some kind of project to assist with the development of a' stronger Caritas organization, both at the national and diocesan level," he said. . "A second conclusion, after talking to the Caritas people, isthe importance of trying to get some trained people in the field of social welfare and economic development. "The mobilization of such large numbers of men in the armed forces of South Vietnam (which ,now amount to one million men) is cutting deeply into the possibility of developing manpower for these types of activities and this is one of the handicaps. In training social welfare workers there would be women available' for this particular type of training."

Alter Vestm'ents Continued from Page One higher spiritual values and not only recognize administrative success, personal tenacity or long age. However, Pope Paul has explained in his instruction on the dress of cardinals, bishops and lesser prelates, "this is well known to be a subject to which the modern mentality is particularly sensitive, one that demands the avoidance of possible extremes and an ability to bring correctness and decorum into harmony with simplicity, practicality and the spirit of humility and poverty." This last spirit, the Pope said, "must .always, and preeminently shine forth in those who, by their investiture ,in church offices, have some special responsibility in the service of the People of God." The Pope's instruction speaks of prelates found in the Fall River Diocese. "For the Apostolic Protonotaries Supernumerary, (P.A.), and for the prelates of honor of His Holiness (Rt. Rev. Monsignors), the purple manteletta. tile sash with tassels, colored hose,. shoe 路buckles and the red tuft on the biretta are all abolished." The manteletta is that short, sleeveless cloak of silk or woolen material with openings for the arms, worn over a rochet (a prelates ,surplice). It has been abolished even for bishops-including the titular - who will wear a mozetta like all residential bishops. All bishOps will dress the same from now on whether in or out of their dioceses. Prelates may continue to use "the purple cassock, the redtrimmed black cassock without cape, and the sash with fringes. When appropriate, the unpleated surplice can be worn over the purple cassock instead of the rochet. The purple "ferraiuolo", although not obligatory, is retained for the Supernumerary Apostolic Protonotaries but not for the prelates of honor. Title Chmnges For Supernumerary Apostolic Protonotaries, Prelates of honor and chaplains of His Holiness, there may be used the title "Monsignor", preceded, where appropriate, by "Reverend". "The so-called titles of kinship used by the Supreme Pontiff with reference to Cardinals, Bishops and other ecclesiastics will be, respectively, only the following: "Our Venerable Brother," "Venerable Brother," and "Beloved Son." "There may still be used, for cardinals and bishops respectively, the titles "Eminence" and "Excellency", which may also be qualified by, the adjectival phrase "Most Reverend." Other titles: Cardinals: "Lord Cardinal," "Monsignor". Bishops: "Most Reverend Monsignor". Other directives speak of changes in the coat-of-arms for Cardinals and Bishops and simplifications in more appropriate dress.

Volunteers Asked For Cape Parish Active members of the Legion of Mary in the Fall River Diocese are invited to join a "peregrinatio" to Our Lady of the Cape parish in Brewster Sunday, June 1 through Saturday, June 21. The project, which will include home visiting and census work; is sponsored by the Boston Comitium of the Legion. It is noted that Legionaries, including Junior members, who wish to participate in the threeweek project, will be asked to remain in the Brewster parish at least one week. Housing will be available in the parish convent. Further information on the program, believed the first of its kind in New England, is available from Rev. Edward Oliveira, diocesan director of the Legion of Mary, at Our Lady of Lourdes Rectory, 49 First Street, Taunton 02780.

WHITE HOUSE ECUMENICAL SERVICE: Terence Cardinal Cooke of New York chats with President and Mrs. Richard M. Nixon following a White House ecumenical service at which the New York prelate presided at the invitation of the President. The 40-minute service, attended by the路 Cabinet and members of Congress, consisted of hymns, prayers, readings from the Bible and a homily in which Cardinal Cooke, in pleading for unity of mankind, said: "We are one family with God as Father of alii we are all brothers in His family."

Plan Church Court Cases' fO'r Priests CHICAGO (NC)-The National Federation of Priests Councils has announced it will take the cases of priests disciplined in the Washington, ,D.C., and Sari Antonio archdiocese. into Church courts.. The proposed litigation will .be a test case on the rights of due process for disciplined priests, spokesman said, with

eventual appeal to Rome if satisfaction is not forthcoming in the United States.

Church courts ordinarily concern themselves with such matters as marriage annulments.

The national organization is composed of 130 priests senates and associations in the United States. Father Patrick O'Malley of Chicago, president, has suggested the proposed litigation might set a precedent in the American Catholic Church since

"It's a whole new bag, a whole new approach to disputes of this kind," Father O'Malley stated. "Canon lawY!'!ts have been combing the regulations to see what steps they might take. They'll have to work it out, step by step."

Accuse Westerners Of Imposing Ideas HONG KONG (NC)-A Chinese bishop has accused priests and Sisters from the western world who work in Asia of trying to impose "western ideas of Church renewal on Asians. Bishop Francis Hsu, apostolic administrator of Hong Kong, in making this accusation, said the persons most responsible for this effort at imposition are the same priests and Sisters who clamor most loudly for the Asianization of the Church here. As examples of "western" renewal opposed by many Chinese, Bishop Hsu listed: guitar Masses for the general Catholic public, public celebration of the sacrament of Penance, and civilian clothes for priests and Sisters.

Discusses Changes in Forms of Worship Liturgist路 Says' Mass Is in State of flux NEW YORK (NC)-"Worship is directed to God, but it is also the improvement, the for strengthening, the holiness of man," Father Frederick McManus, director of the Committee on the Liturgy of the National Conference' of Catholic Bishops, said here. Speaking in an interview on Guideline, an NBC television program, Father McManus discussed the Mass and said it is "the celebration of the Lord's Supper, the sacrificial banquet, the holy meal, and done in com, memoration of what Jesus did before His death." He said the Mass is roughly divided into two parts, "a service intended to be the preaching and the announcement of the Word of God, chiefly from the Bible, and the second, the actual expression of thanksgiving to God, the Eucharist."

Father McManus noted that the Mass, is a continuation in its style of Jewish forms of worship in which there was some same notion of the prayer of blessing.

It Made A Difference ,Well, each gift did make a difference. The Catholic Charities Appeal of 1969 is now a testimony to the unprecedented charity and kindness of those who gave and whose gift made a difference. But it is more than a memory. More than a new record. It is the means of inviting more aged guests to enjoy the pleasant surroundings in dignity and' love of our homes for the aged and chronic sick. , It is the offering of added help to young people in need of encouragement and opportunities for recreation and counselling. It is the practical extending of the hand of Christ to those very many in need who want to know that people not only care but support their concern with concrete means of helping-through services to the aged, youth, the mentally handicapped, emotionally disturbed and unwanted children, unwed mothers, families in jeopardy, those restless in spirit or body or emotions. And the caring is done not just from pressure or from laudable humanitarian reasons but from the very personal and highest convictions that all are God's children and that' each member of His family must support every other member and especially the little and weak and troubled. Because many took this attitude and gave to 'the Appeal-it has made a difference.

Growing Population-=-A Need Once again the expensive full-page ads are appearing in some of the great metropolitan newspaper~ urging as a cure-all for the world',s problems the curb of population. The s,tatements are made that people cause problems so if the population growth can be cut-by any means ! then this will be the great step toward the solving of the world's difficulties. Rev. John F.

Aid Seminarians Continued from Page One and education of .priests' for assignments to specialized ministries." With such growth and developments, Bishop Connolly appealed to all as follows: Beloved in Christ: On Sunday next, we solicit your support for seminarians preparing for the priesthood in the Diocese of Fall, River. We have 12 new candidates so far this year, and a total of 65. At the average cost of $1400.00 per year, per seminarian, we have to meet an expense that has mounted yearly, and will continue so. The faithful have always demonstrated loyally, their concern for the continuance of the priestly ministry. Through prayer and generous giving they have helped us meet the major part of costs for training priests. We are urging all to continue their measure of help, and for those that can afford it to enroll as benefactors by pledging and giving $100 a year. This could make considerable difference in our Chancery economy. And all donors are assured of remem-. brance in prayers and Masses of Bishops and clergy. Not all who engage in study for the priesthood go on to ordination. But over the past 10 years we have ordained 72 priests for diocesan work. Due to this increase, we have presently nine of our clergy serving as chaplains, in the armed (orces; one in Peru, another assigned as secretary to the Apostolic Delegate in Canada, one finishing his course at Catholic University and one registered at Fordham University. Our Catholic population has risen from 240,000 to well over 300,000 in this time. So, with need for new parishes, and assignments to specialized ministries, we pray the Lord to send us more laborers for souls. Deeply grateful for all that the faithful do to bring about this increase, not alone of priests, but of dedicated men and women in the religious communties, I remain,

This happy chaos is presided over by elfin Frances Shea of Holy Family parish, Taunton, ably assisted by Mrs. Nancy Connors and Mrs. Pauline Pinault, both of St. Patrick's parish, plus shoals of volunteers from Prevost and Connolly High Schools and Bristol Community College, who provide individual attention to children, laps to sit on, and occasionally guitar and song sessions.

One-Day Service "Just about every child' in the area has been with us at one time or another," says Mrs. Shea, noting that St. John's will take a child for one or two days if a mother is called away from home for any reason. Most children, however, are full-timers, coming daily to the center for a reasonable $13 weekly if care from 7 to 5 is needed. This fee includes breakfast, lunch and two snacks. For a one-day stand, the fee is $3. St. John's will also care for older brothers and sisters of toddlers on days when there's no school. The nursery building also accommodates the pre-primary class of St. Patrick's School. Since it's a half-day pre-primary, many childden attend one of its sessions and spend the rest of ,the day at the center. "We aim to provide more than babysitting or custodial care," said Rev.

Pastors to Have Six-Yelar Terms

THE ANCHOR'-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. May 29, 1969

Weekly Soaking of Lawn Beats Daily Sprmnk~B,ng

PARIS (NC) - From now on pastors in the Paris archdiocese will be appointed for a six-year term renewable only once, Francois Cardinal Marty of P~ris announced. "Today, the priest is called not so much to exercise a function or to hold a post as to carry out a mission, to preach the Gospel," the cardinal said, adding that this mission demands teamwork, dynamism and constant research. "To succeed in this task," he continued, "stability is needed, time is needed, but a limited, fixed time. Six or twelve years is good." Describing the way in which he reached his decision, Cardi· nal Marty said: "I made it after reading the letters that the priests sent me and after consulting the priests' council. I reflected on these together with my close assistants, and we discussed the matter with officials of other dioceses. "Finally, I had the opportunity to have an open conversation on the subject with Pope Paul- VI, who removed by indult the canonical obstacles."

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick I have written several times on lawns and their care but people are constantly asking about this subject so here we go again. First of all, Spring is not the proper season , for heavy seeding. Seeding should be done in the Fall when the weather is cool, although patching can be done at any cisions right alongside mothers. No more is he just the "breadtime as long as the grass earner" and she just the custoaround ~he patch is kept di~n of the young - today they moist. Lawns need about an inch of . water per week if they are to thrive. Don't make the mistake of sprinkling your lawn every night; one good wetting per week is worth 50 sprinklings. If you want to measure an inc~, set out a tin can on the lawn and when it has approximately an inch of water in it, turn off the srinkler. You can time how long it ta~es for your sprinkler to deliver the inch and use that as a guide for the rest of the Summer. Both Important, Both cutting and fertilizing are important. In the Spring I set the blades on my mower rather close and cut every five days, when possible. As the heat begins to come in I raise the blades so that the grass remains longer after cutting and cut . every six or seven days depending on the weather. The hotter the weather the longer I allow the grass to grow. As far as fertilizing goes, I have found that frequent fertilizing, with lower rates than are called for on the fertilizer bag, is preferable to one heavy fertilizing in the Spring. I therefore fertilize my lawn once a month from April to November. This lower spreading rate keeps a constant supply of nutrients available' to the lawn and keeps . it reasonably green throughout the Summp.r. Of' course, few lawns will do . well if they are subjected to constant traffic. Where children play, you might as well give a lawn up as a lost cause. This is the case with my back lawn and I really don't worry about it. In the Kitchen I just p.njoyed one of the loveliest Mothers' Days imaginable. Meryl, aided just a wee bit by her Dad, cooked a delightful dinner, complete with lobster and appetizers, Jason behaved, and Melissa was a paragon of virtue. However, I do feel that at this lull that comes between Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day, I should mention that I really think this coming holiday for Dads should be celebrated with just as much reverence as is shown for the mother of the 'household. At Mass on Mothers' Day the priest gave a glowing sermon on the virtues of motherhood and the fact that the mother was the center of the home. As much as I' enjoyed this lavish praise, I r.lUst take exception to this, as I feel that in my own childhood, as well as in my present home' the man of the house plays an equally important part in the running of the home. Men Share Today perhaps more than ever before, because of the growing number of working wives, men are forced to take an active part in the raising of children, the forming of their character, .and the worry over their education. Just within our small circle of friends I watch fathers make de-

share equally and joyfully in all things that involve the family. And from the evidence I've seen of this type of home, this equal sharing results in a better marriage and thus a better home life.

Freedom of Women Seems More Apparent than Real

Co rd ina I Repeats Christ's Counsel

By Marilyn Roderick "You've come a long way, baby," is certainly one of the 'catchiest phrases we have come across in ages. I don't condone or endorse the product it advertises but I must admit that it sums up beautifully the emancipation of the American female. No more is a woman (in civilized coun- replace them with some others' as binding and boring. tries) relegated to the role equally Such items as chauffeuring the of second class .citizen. No kids, and working the club cirmore is she thought of a nothing but a household drudge with a mind incapable of compassing anything loftier than the weekly grocery list. Why, even the Church has gotten around to recognizing the equality of the female, thanks to Pope John and Vatican II. Recent clarification of the "hat rule" in church is just one more step in the right direction, from the female point of view. Now that we are recognized as equals (at least verbally) by the male of the species, we have to discover for ourselves what we're going to do with this hardwon freedom and equal opportunity. What We Want We can, of course, do ~ust about what we want fashIOnwise, for we certainly have come a million eons from the days when only city gals bobbed their hair and' no one but a "fast" woman would be caught dead in cosmetics. Skirts may go \\p or .come down but basically we are the ones to decide, only our hairdresser knows for sure the color of our locks and ev.idently pants for all occasions are going to be our latest victory on the fashion frontier. . Our appliances have freed' us from the drudgery of housework (at least that's what we're told) and now we are resplendently free with nothing but loads and loads of leisure times (this we're also told). Of course, the experts who tell us this also fail to mention that as we are freed from household hangups we have a tendency to , .

Explains Police Entry During Demonstration MILWAUKEE (NC) - Father John P. Raynor, S.J., president of Marquette University, issued a statement explaining how and why police broke into the university's St. Joan of Arc chapel and arrested 70 students who had barricaded themselves there in an anti-ROTC demonstration. Father Raynor said the university's security staff is not eqliipped to prevent every kind of disorderly or disruptive conduet on campus. In an earlier incident on the day of the ch!\pel demonstration, students had been warned of police intervention if they carried out their announced intention to stage a similar protest in the gymnasium. As a result. of the earlier incident, which was voluntarily terminated, Father Raynor said the students clearly knew the university'S position: police intervention "when personnel, property or functions are threatened," but with formal warning in advance as to the "possible consequences of their disruptive conduct, in terms of university discipline and police arrest."

TOLEDO (NC) - Vicente Cardinal Enrique Tarancon of Toledo told Spaniards to give to God what is God's and to Caesar what is Caesar's in the current conflict between many Catholics, including bishops and priests, and the government of Gen. Francisco Franco. His statement appeared in the Toiedo daily EI Alcazar, shortly after he had been made a member of the College of Cardinals at the Rome consistory. "We all must try to keep current tensions from disrupting that unity which the. (second) Vatican Council and Pope Paul VI so earnestly recommend," Cardinal Tarancon said, adding that, regarding relations between th~' clergy and the government, the answer is in the Lord's advice to give to God and to the state what belongs to each. "Both the faithful and the clergy, as members of the church community, owe submission and respect to civil authority.

his could well be the most important Jl-news you've heard in years! Now you may enjoy a special low-cost health protection plan that pays "extra cash" direct to you when unexpected sickness or accident. hospitalizes you or a member of your family! Mutual Protective Insurance Company, specializing in health insurance for Catholics for over 35 years, has created a brandnew health plan especially Jor Catholics like yourself-the HOSPITAL PLAN FOR CATHOLICS. "Try" This Plan For Only $1

You can actually "try" the plan under a special no strings "introductory" offer: For only $1.00, you can enroll yourself and all eligible members of your familywithout having to see a company representative and without any red tape whatsoever -during this limited enrollment period. And, after you receive your policy, .if for any reason you decide you don't want it, you may return it within 10 days and your dollar will be promptly refunded! Why You Need The Hospital Plan For Catholics In Addition To Ordinary Health InsLDrance

Because no -matter what other insurance you now' carry, it simply won't cover everything! Think for a moment-in thes~ days of rising medical costs, would your -present insurance cover all your hospital bills? All your surgical and in-hospital doctor's bills? All the medicines, drugs, supplies and the many other extras? Probably not. And even if all your medical and hospital bills were covered, what about all your other expenses-the bills that keep piling up"at home-the tremendous and costly upset to your bUd~ your reserves and your family life? . '

If you, as husband, father and breadwinner are suddenly hospitalized, your income stops, your expen.ses go up. Even if you' have some kind of "salary insurance" it probably"won't come close to replacing your full-time pay. If your wife is suddenly hospitalized, who will look after the family, do the laundry, the marketing, the cleaning? You may have to take time off from your job-or hire domestic help. If one of your children is hospitqlized, you'll . certainly spare no expense. If you're a senior citizen, with limited reserves, and are hospitalized, even with Medicare, where will the "extra" money you need come from? Without any extra cash protection in case of a hospital emergency, debts may be incurred, savings may be lost, peace of mind may be shattered-and even recovery can be seriously delayed. How The Plan r'rotects You And Your Family

Now, with the unique protection of the Hospital Plan for CatHolics you can avoid these worries-because you can be assured of extra cash income when you or any covered family member goes to the hospitalto help keep you out of debt, to help keep . your savings intact, to speed recovery by easing your worried mind! No matter how large your family, no matter what your age . or occupation and without any other qualifications whatsoever, you can choose any of the four 100v:cost plans shown at right. In addition to the important- cash benefits, you get all these valuable "extra" features: Your "Health-Bank Account"

. Here's a wonderful benefit, no matter which plan you choose, almost like an extra "Bank Account." When your policy is issued, your insurance provides up to $10,000, $7,500 or $5,000-according to the Plan you choose. This is your "HealthBank Account." Then, every month your policy is in force, an amount equal to your regular monthly.premium (including your first month) is actually add~d to your maximum! When you have claims, your benefits are ~imply_ subtracted from your "ac(Continued on next page)

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. May 29, 1969

Praises Mary Bosanquet's Biography of Bonhoeffer By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kenl1ledy The name of Dietrich Bonhoeffer has sounded'throughout the Christian world in recent years. This celebrity has come long after Bonhoeffer's death, which occured a quarter of a century ago. A Lutheran theologian, Bonhoeffer was a leader of German resistance to Hitler and 'was Tubingen. A year later he transmurdered by the Nazis just' ferred to the University of Berprior to the total collapse lin, where, in 1927, he completed of the Third Reich. An account of his career, work, and personality is given by Mary Bosanquet in The Life and Death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (H a r per and Row, 49 E. 33rd Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016. $5.95). Bonhoeffer's immeasurable effect ", on theology, ',Protestant and, Catholic, has Qeen exerted through his writings, especially his Letters and Papers from Prison. Certain ideas of his have been widely seized upon: for example, that of the world c,ome of age, that of a religionless Christianity, that of Christ as the man for others. But the ideas have often been taken out of context, and have been used without reference to their roots and setting in Bonhoeffer's thought as a whole. They have become catch phrases, irresponsibly and even witlessly employed. On the basis of his writings, he would have had nothing to do with the notion of the death of God. He never regarded the Christian Church as unimportant o'r dispensable, but rather considered it to be Christ existing as community, as the Body of Christ. He insisted on the neces'sity of the sacraments, and taught and practiced the art of prayer and meditation. As the author says at the close of the book, Bonhoeffer saw the task of the Church as that' of "becoming fully identified with the modern world without losing her identity * 0:0 * The exploration of the means of identification with the world would never have been pursued by BO,nhoeffer at the price of his Christian identity;" ,The man who was perhaps closest to Bonhoeffer declared in summing up Bonhoeffer's con: victions, "Secret discipline without worldliness becomes pure' ghetto; worldliness without the 'secret discipline, pure boulevard." , . Bonhoeffer was born in Breslau in 1906. Both his parents came of ancient and distinguished families. They were excep, tionally intelligent, well educated, deeply cultured people. Their children grew up in a home alive with intellectual and artistic interest and pursuits. Studies Theology The years of his childhood and youth saw Germany driving toward war, then engaged in :V0rld War I, defeated, punished In thp. Versailles Peace Treaty, torn by revolution and continuing disorder, bled by in,fIation, and struggling to follow the democratic way under the ever enlarging shadow of Hitler. .When, at the age of 17, DietrIch announced his intention of studying theology" his family was amazed, and some members e~~ressed displeasure and oppoSItIOn. He was not deterred, and, a 1923 began his studies at

his thesis for the Ph.D. His teachers, including the renowned Harnack, trained him in rigorous thinking, and this they did so well that he, disagreed with some of their contentions and freely said so. Karl Barth, then at the University of Bonn, was already'a great figure, but Bonhoeffer, who called upon him, made bold to take issue with him on some points. , Catholic Impact During his' student days, Bonhoeffer did pastoral work, at which he showed himself zealous and efective. He spent a few months in Rome,' where some Catholic impact on his thought began. He went to Ba~celona as temporary assistant to a Ger-' man congregation. In 1930, he' came to New York for a year at Union Theological Seminary. On his return to Germany, he found the Nazis coming into the ascendancy, presenting a critical problem for the Lutheran Church. All this while, Bonhoeffer.. although engaged in scholarly work and writing, enterprises of various sorts, and frequent travel, was spending a regular portion of each day in quiet prayer. Ordained in 1932, he was not yet, he 'considered, 'a thorough Christian. That would come only with suffering. And the time of suffering was at hand, with Hitler's becoming chanc,ellor in 1933. Resisted Nazis Far more clearly than most, Bonhoeffer saw the danger to the Lutheran Church. His sermons were forthright and prophetic. He strove to rally resistance tf) the Nazi take-over of the Church, and never gave in despite the tactics, both brutal and insidious, by which the Nazis relentlessly sought the suppression of Christian witness. 'By 1935, Bonhoeffer was' reduced to the running of a tiny, almost informal seminary, which a year later was declared illegal. It was apparent by 1938' that Hitler would precipitate a general war, and that Bonhoeffer's days of liberty, and probably of life, were numbered. Friends arranged for him to be offered lecture engagements in the United States,and in June of 1939 he came to New York. But he could not make himself stay. His place was in the crucible, and ~ month later, to the grief of his American' : sponsors; he sailed home. Luminous in Gloom An English prisoner who knew him at this time testified later that Bonhoeffer had now become completely a man for others and a kind of luminous presence in the gloom of the, prison. God, he had said, was to be found at the foot of the 'Cross. On',· April 9, 1945, Bonhoeffer.knelt in prayer before a scaffold, and five minutes later he was hanged. Mary Bosanquet has told his story extremely well. His life, his death, and his thought she presents vividly and with notable discrimination. Their relationship one to another she clearly establishes. What Bonhoeffer was . and what he held, this book en~ abies the reader to know.

Jesuit Explains Credibility Gap To The@~ogwans CHICAGO (NC) - Credibility gaps, calls to social action, and a report on God's well-being highlighted the

annual convention of the College Theology Society here. "God is alive and well, even at Catholic University," Father Andrew Greeley, director of the National Opinion Research Center, University of Chicago, reported. He said it is not God, but a dehumanizing scientism and positivism that has been found wanting among critical college students. As a result, Father Greeley said, young people in their " search for the sacred and transcendent have often turncd to psychedelic drugs and even witchcraft. Gulf Too Wide Noting the tensions inherent in the pursuit of personal identity and community roots, Father Greeley suggested that the kind of.. personal and psychic openess found in the healthy family sexual relationship might be the achievement of both personal and community values. The situation of a credibility gap between the Church magisterium and the lower echelons was discussed by Father Avery Dulles, S.J. "Since the members of the official teaching agency of the Church-the body of bishops- . are not chosen by the consent of the governed or by any demontrated capacity in'doctrinal matters," he said, "the gulf between intellectual competence and decisive power has become, in the church, too wide for comfort." Proclaim Witness He said theologians cannot be regarded as the mere agents of hierarchical teaching authority. The theologian's duty, Father Dulles asserted, is not simply to repeat what the hierarchy already has said, but more importantly, is to discover what has not been taught. On the other hand, he continued, the Church is not simply an association for the advancement of religious knowledge. It is rather a witnessing community, he said. The Christian faith, Father Dulles said, was first communicated to the Church as a group, not to any particular individual, because any of these-even the pope or a bishop-is capable of losing the faith. It is the task of the official Church teaching authority to proclaim this witness and denounce anything which falsifies it, such as racism, Father Dulles said.

Father [(evin Tripp Youngest Participant In .I7-Nation. Theological Parley He's the youngest. At 26, Rev. Kevin Tripp, assistant pastor at St.Patrick's Church, Fall River, was the youngest of 45 participants from 17 nations who gathered last month in Holland for a symposium on pastoral theology. He is also, as far as he knows, the youngest consultor to the Bishops of the United States; serving their committee on liturgy. He's used to setting by the whim of a particular records, however. Before his priest, and this makes it much ordination last May he was more meaningful." the first Catholic 'president "The .whole Church," conin the 88 year old history of the National Inter-Seminary Movement. In his capacity as a consultor on liturgy, Father Tripp is presently working with the Commission on Liturgy set up in Rome after Vatican II.' Matters before the commission include a revision of the rite for anointing the sick and preparation of a new list of readings for the Divine Office. Father Tripp' is excited over the accomplishments of the Dutch symposium. He said that participants are setting up five types of parish ministries and three experiments in seminary life in five European countries. These will, be studied to determine whether techniques used can be put into general practice. Team Approach The exparimental parishes will include an industrial mission in London, an apartment house' complex in' Amsterdam, a restructured traditional parish in France, a university ministry in Bonn and a new parish in Italian suburbia. A team approach will be used in all parishes, said Father Tripp, with sociologists, psychologists and social workers supplementing the work of ministers. The projects in London, Amsterdam and Bonn will also be ecumen· iCal and should afford valuable insights into methods of interfaith ministry. ' At the symposium Father Tripp gave a report on pastoral experiments in the United States, including new diaconate programs in use in various dioceses. Such a program will be used in the Boston archdiocese during the coming academic year, he said, and will involve d~acons spending their last year before .ordination in the active parish ministry rather than in the seminary. The Fall River priest also reported on' ecumenical theologates in the United States. These are interfaith centers for the study of the!>logy, and include the Boston Theological Institute, which joins the efforts of eight schools of theology. . Future Trends Father Tripp sees the future of the ministry as involving lay people morc and more. A pastor, he feels, should be liJ(e a general practitioner who refers patients to specialists' for various needs. Not that the priest sqould cease visiting hospitals or counseling those with problems, he hastened to add, but that he should recognize situations demanding professional competence in various fields. Almost every parish could use full time social work-

The award is giveo by the Catholic religious community to persons who have made outstanding contributions to increased understanding and cooperation among Christians of different denominations.

TORN LIVES ... THE HOLY FATHER'S MISSION!

REV. KEVIN TRIPP ers and family counselors, he said wryly, "but of course financial problems must be considered." With regard to his major interest, Iitu:-gy; in which he holds a master's degree from Notre Dame, Father Tripp feels that Catholics aren't "educated as to what the Mass is." People want the Latin Mass back, he feels, because of its beauty, but they don't see the deeper meaning of the Mass as the prayer of the Christian comm~nity, which of its nature should be 'in language intelligible to the worshiper. . Folk Masses Father. Tripp sees as a "temporary meaningful idiom," but he envisions other forms of Masses developing in the future. Some American experiments, he noted, are "off the top of the head" and don't reo flect any deep awareness of liturgical tradition.

Many Forms of Opposition To Economic

Assista.n~e

lEy Barbam Ward

No doubt, a great many Christians might pay greater attention to Pope Paul's plea for development and look more benevolently upon economic assistance to developing nations if. they were not afraid that a lot of money is being spent wastefully or in vain.' Reactions to suspicions of the uncertainties of monsoon and' still had a cenwaste and misuse cover a agriculture tury and more of colonial convery wide variety of causes trol to endure. and cases. Some people have . simply read reports of some particular aid scandal. Others ar-,. gue on principle " t hat anything'" that comes by way of assistance must be demO! ralizing because people have not worked for it. Others might argue that particular policies are injudicious because they actua y against the development they are supposed to stimulate. For instance, if the Indians had received less grain under Public Law 480, might they not have put more emphasis upon agricultural productivity, particularly upon the import and manufacture of f~rtilizer? But the most root-and-branch . attack comes from those who say that aid to corrupt governments never reaches the poor and in fact prolongs the grip of evil administrations. This criticism is held with particular strength, not to say ferocity, by young critics and is directed with special emphasis at Latin America. Opposites Join One consequence of this' spectrum of criticism in -the United' States has been to bring together many strands of criticism into a single web of opposition to for-' eign aid. Congressmen such as Rep. Otto Passman of Louisiana have always disliked assistance programs on traditional and Conservative grounds. 'Helping other nations' poor is not America's' business except' perhaps to stop radical movements which might threaten American interests. But they are now joined by critics from the other end of the spectrum who argue that aid is wrong precisely because it does delay "the rev' olution." This conjunction of -B-ight and Left, of Conservatives disillusioned with aid as a means of fighting Communism and Radicals who regard it as a reactionary plot, has created an alliance broad" enough to threaten the survival of aid itself. America's Endowin~nt What can be said about these varied apprehensions and attacks? Th~ argument about the danger of free gifts can be' quickly dismissed. A nation's basic resources are also in a sense "free gifts" and America, starting its independent life with five million people in the richest, emptiest, most temperate continent on the globe, has probably had more "free" endowment than any other place. By contrast, in -1776, India already had 150 million inhabitants living by

The particular instances of waste are serious but hardly incurable. In fact, over the last decade, both the administration and strategy cif American aid have been tightened up. Among international agencies, the record of the World Bank and its associate IDA has been remarkably clear of failure. The United Nations agencies are at present conducting an enquiry into way.s of increasing their own efficien-' cy. Compared with other large enterprises such as defense, it, cannot be said that the record of disaster has been unduly high.

HARTFORD (NC)-The State House of Representatives, by a vote of 89-69, has killed a move to revise Connecticut's abortion laws. The House voted to reject a bill sponsored by Rep. Jean Thornton, which had won the sURport of the Connecticut State Medical Society and the Connecticut Council of Churches, but was opposed by bishaops of the state's three Catholic dioceses.

Milwaukee has praised the efforts of black Catholics to work out their own programs within the Church. Archbishop Cousins spoke at a Mass celebrated during a conference at Marquette University on "Race and' the Catholic Church in Milwaukee." The conference was sponsored by the Catholic Interracial Council here. The archbishop said there is a trend toward a deeper realization of the "challenge and potential in the black community." He noted that the Black Clergy Caucus, an organizatiQn of the nation's Negro priests. and Brothers, has proposed to the American bishops creation of a special office which would focus attention specifically on the needs and wants of the black community. He said there is every reason to believe sllch an office will be established.

Program Finances Service Centers WASHINGTON (NC)-Thirtyfive community service centers that draw on college faculty and academic resources to provide counseling, information, and advice to city and rural residents are operating throughout the country under a federal program, according to the U.S. Office of Education. While benefiting the ghetto residents, the centers also give college faculty and students a chance to be exposed to conditions in poverty neighborhoods. More than 50 colleges and universities are involved in the operation of the centers, which match community requests for help with the appropriate academic department. The centers also make it possible to apply to a single community problem the expertis~ of the university's many disciplines.

Henry Merchant of Fairhaven

Spartan Ace With Wesleyan Star Pitcher for Tiger Varsity By Luke Sims For the second time in four months, Henry Merchant of Fairhaven has found his way to the sports pages of The路 Anchor. In January, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Merchant, 114 Pleasant Street, was cited for his leading role in Iowa Wesleyan College's success on the basketbaH courts. The 6-5 junior shook off the effects of a gimpy knee to lead the Tigers to a winning season and won the praise of hoop coach Dean Davenport who dubbed his forward "a vital cog in the team's success." With the curtain having long since draped over the roundball season, Merchant has devoted his attention to the diamond game where he is a star pitcher for the Tiger varsity. In the first six games of the regular season, Henry was personally responsible for three of his team's four victories. In addition to picking up a win, the hard-throwing right-hander was credited with a pair of saves. The fast start has placed the Tigers among the leaders in the tough Prairie Conference. As was the case in basketball, Henry was not considered an outstanding high school prospect. During his four years at Bishop Stang High School Merchant saw little' service on the Spartan hill.' There were two reasons for the inactivity. Henry had the~misfortune of playing in the shadow of firebailers Paul Gillis and Paul Fortin, both of whom have respective starring roles in the Providence College and University of Rhode Island baseball programs. 'Big in stature (6-5, 202), Merchant has worked hard to achieve success. The story of the Fairhaven youngster's climb to the top bears repeating.

Always a potentially excellent leaper, Merchant worked hard at the pumping phase of the game and eventually became on outstanding rebounder. He played little varsity ball during his senior season in 1965 but, undaunted, continued to work on improvement in the Summer months that followed. His high school hoop coach, John O'Brien, called Henry a "very coachable boy with a wealth of potential." College coach Davenport saw the potential develop into stardom and . Henry has suddenly become' a "big man on campus." At Stang, under coach Jerry Hickey, Merchant was a somewhat wild, fireballing righthander. Like O'Brien, Hickey recognized the potential and predicted stardom for the Fairhavln hurler if he was able to master control. It took Merchant one full year of college ball to accomplish the task but the trace of wildness has suddenly left the strong and, as predicted, he is a success. Henry is one of two Merchant children, his younger sister Mary Ann was graduated from high school last year.
