Charities Appeal Dearly beloved in Christ, Once again, our Catholic Charities Appeal has attained a record-breaking total. 1 am profoundly grateful to everyone who contributed to this Appeal, which is so vitally necessary for the maintenance and expansion of our many varied programs of .charity, social service, education and care of the sick, the elderly and the underprivileged. 1 wish to express a word of particular thanks to Monsignor Gomes, the Coordinator of the Appeal, to Mr. Kennedy, the Lay Chairman, to the priests in our Diocesan parishes, without whose enthusiastic cooperation and leadership no such success could be realized, to the army of solicitors who canvassed neighborhoods all throughout the Diocese, and to the countless friends of Catholic Charities. It is clearly apparent to me that a Bishop can only accomplish tangible good if he has the support and cooperation of the clergy, religious and faithful laity who constitute the People of God. Thanks to the generosity of the good residents of our Diocese in responding to the 1975 Catholic Charities Appeal with an unprecedented total, much can be accomplished in the months ahead. With sincere gratitude, and with the assurance of my prayerful good wishes for every blessing, 1 have the pleasure to remain
Devotedly yours in Christ,

Rev. Thomas F. Daley Retires Continued from Page One 1935, he was assigned as assist-' ant pastor at Our Lady of the Isle Parish,. Nantucket, and Holy Name Paroish, Fall River. On June 8, 1944, he joined the Chaplain Corps of the U.S. Army und remained in the service for 20 years with service in both ·the European and Asiatic Theaters of Operation. In March 1960, while still a member of the chaplain corps he attended the Vatican Consistory that saw his personal friend, Peter Cardinal Doi, elevated to the Cardinalate. The friendship developed when Father Daley was serving as an Army Chaplain in Japan. In 1964, Father Daley returned from service with the U.S. Army with the rank of Lieut. Colonel. After serving as pastor of St. Mary Parish, Newton, he continued in the pastorate at St. James Parish, New Bedford. The Department of the Army awarded a Cert.ificate of Appreciation for Patriotic Civilian Service to Father Daley on August 30, 1971. The award was bestowed for the volunteer services rendered by Father Daley to the
24th Artillery Group from Aug. I, 1964 to March 31, 1971. "Through his infectious good humor," the citation stated, "and sincere desire to be of service, Chaplain Daley endeared h.imself to men of all faiths. Through his efforts and great interest in the needs of the command, Chaplain Daley assisted and advised commanders in their civil and community responsibilities, and arranged for religious retreats. "He has, as the result of his empathy with the men and rapport with their families, contributed immeasurably to the moral and spiritual benefit of the Army community,' this indirectly c.ontributing to the successful accomplishment of our air defense mission." Concluding, the citation states that "the outstanding service rendered ·by Chaplain Daley reflects great credit upon himself, the Fall River Diocese and the Roman Catholi~ Church." Father Daley has brought the same spirit and devotion to par· ish life in the city of New Bedford since his appointment there as pastor of St. James Parish on March 18, 1971.

Not a Word but an Action The watchword of today seems to be "involvement." Happily in some instances, it is not only a slogan but an action. This is the case with the recently-completed Catholic Charities Appeal, the most successful of all. Men and women from all over the Diocese and their friends of other religions joined in contributing to the Appeal because they believe in involvement and wished to share in it. Not too many persons have the time or the skills or the inclination to teach exceptional children, to care for the sick in the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home, to counsel unwed mothers, to give lectures to the engaged, to arrange for adoptions, to minister to the aged and the chronic sick. But these same persons know that this is the work of involvement, this is the work of the person dedicated to all that is finest in the Judeo-Christian tradition, this is God's own .work. And it must be done. So those who gave to the Charities Appeal' have involved themselves in God's work by supporting the many agencies that care for God's poor and exception'al and worried, that reach out to those who need care and counsel and understanding. These contributors have taken from their substance to aid those who are giving their lives in these works of kindness and charity. These contributors have not only talked involvementthey have practiced it. To them it is not just a word-it is an action.
Responsibility Next weekend attention of the people throughout the Diocese is being focused on the whole matter of vocations. Most people are undoubtedly called by God to live out their adult lives in the vocation of marriage, to serve God by being good husbands and wives, good mothers and fathers. This is their calling and upon this they are to be judged. There are others who will remain single throughout their lives and these will give their talents and energies to serving God and neighbor in the single state. God does not neglect His Church, and there are those called by God to serve Bim as priests and brothers and sisters. The work of man I is to uncover these vocations, to recognize the signs, to foster and encourage them. No one wishes to pressure anyone into being a servant of God if he or she is not suited for this life and called to this vocation. But it would be reprehensible if a young person or an older one showed signs of a vocation to the priesthood, or religious life and these signs went unrecognized or were neglected by those whose duty it is to seek out and encourage vocations. And this is the duty of every mature Catholic, especially those who are confirmed. Confirmation associates one with the Bishop in his vocation of winning the world for Christ. The Bishop works through all those who assist him in his calling. He works through priests and brothers and sisters and all the lay men and women who at confirmation became witnesses to Christ and preachers of the things of God by word and example. The responsibility of detecting signs of a vocation, of encouraging realistically those who show such signs, of praying for vocations-this responsibility is one widely shared. No one having a share in this responsibility should neglect it.

Catholic Conference Opposes Regulation of Hospital Rates HARRISBURG (NC) - The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference (PCC) has opposed the inclusion in health care legislation of a provision for state regulation of rates paid for hospital services. In testimony before the Health and Welfare Committee of the state House .of Representatives, Howard J. Fetterhoff, PCC executive director, called the rate approval section of the legislation "counter-productive and potentially harmful" to the health care industry in the state. "One of the principal reasons approval is so ineffective in unsolving the real problems of health care consumers is that it treats symptoms rather than major causes of rising costs of care in hospitals and nursing homes," Fetterhoff testified. "Rates paid to health care facilities, after all, merely reflect. or result from, rising costs. "Controlling rates is not the same as controlling costs, and a rate approval program presented to consumers as having any effect on the major causes of rising costs in hospital care is bound to be disappointing, if not harmful." Fetterhoff warned that rate approval would harm both consumers and health care facilities if administered "punitively" to-' ward the facilities. "Holding rates dangerously and increasingly below costs can have only one result, more harmful even to consumers than to providers -the erosion of quality care," he said. Fetterhoff cited several published works describing the rise

in health care costs in terms of increases in labor costs and in non - labor expenditures for equipment and suwies, of increases in ,the average length of patient stay, and of costly advances in complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. . Contending that rate approval cannot affect primary causes of inflation or even relieve the symptoms effectively, Fetterhoff said: "When government goes as far into internal management of health care facilities as rate approval requires, the result is not the thrift and efficiency intended. One need not be a harsh critic of American government to note that thrift and efficiency are not among its chief virtues." ·Fetterhoff said the PCC supported the proposed section on certificate of need, which provides for governmental control over the development or expansion of health care facilities to prevent duplication of services within any geographic area. He urged, however, that "religious need" in the community be made one of the criteria to be considered when certificate of need decisions are being made. "Otherwise," he said, "the thou· sands of patients who' seek spiritual as well as physical care in crises of health will be deprived of it, and church-related facilities will find their mission to the sick and their freedom to deliver care severely limited if not excluded in a health planning system conscious only of material factors." The PCC also opposed the appointment of a health care advocate. "Duties of a proposed health care advocate," Fetterhoff said, "could create an adversary relationship between government and -the health care industry, possibly damaging the health care climate." The PCC supported the legislation's provision for a health care policy board, provided there is equal representation of both consumers and providers of health care on the board.

Jesus upbraided t,he Apostles for not believing a woman He sent to tell them He had risen. Is the Church's failure to reach Christ's goals related to the successors of the Apostles' refusal to believe and to trust women? The restlessness in religious life, the questioning by the laity, women seeking the recognition given them by Christ, is it the Spirit, gathering like a storm about to break? I believe it is ... and before He is finished, many cherished privileges claimed by the successors of the Apostles will be swept aside and a truly Christian community will emerge in which men and women share equally and lovingly in all the ministries. Then the priesthood will not imitate the weaknesses of the Apostles, but the ,love of Jesus and Mary, the strength of the Spirit.

and Christ's regard for women was lost, and th(: Church's teaching reverted to ancient customs discriminating against women. St. Paul mak~s his position clear: "Let a woman learn in silence wJth all submission. For I do not allow a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over men; but she is to keep quiet. .(St. Paul also advised bishops to limit themselv,es to one wife.) Anti-women attitudes continued through Church teaching. St. Augustine was convinced that if it wasn't for the necessity of propagating the race, a man wouM be much better off with a male compan!on rather than a female.

Portugues,e F,estas Simpl,e Statement of Faith By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick As I write this column, the poppies are just coming into bloom. For a rash of brilliant color, nothing quite compares with oriental poppies. We have two distinct types in our garden, the orange single and double poppy which is fairly common and reproduces mainly by seed, and ning of June. Both should be planted in the fall of the year the more sophisticated larger and may be purchased from any poppy which must be repro- reasonbly good catalog.
duced by division. The first of these grows quite rapidly and reproduces all over the garden, tending to take over if not kept under control. It iii colorful but short lived and our practice is to break off the top foliage immediately after blooming to keep this species under control. Surprisingly, the tap root which remains beneath the ground sends up new shoots each year and by the following Spring new plants appear all around the garden. These plants are colorful but give the garden an overgrown appearance if a.Jlowed to run wild.
.
Supplement Iris The stcond group of poppies are the newer hybrids which we bought by name. These bloom later and produce much larger flowers with a number of buds and blooms from the same plant. We have had difficulty reproducing ,these poppies from seeds but have had reasonable success breaking them up through division and planting the tap root in the fall. These are used mainly as specimen plants in small numbers and are beautiful individually. Our favorite is Watermelon which is a huge pink with very delicate petals. Poppies make great supplements to ids. The pastels. of the iris blend well with the stronger colors of the poppies without contrasting too severely. Both bloom when the garden is relatively quiescent, in this area at the end of May and the begin-
Beauty of Mary Path Open to All ROME (NC) - Pope Paul VI told participants in two international meetings on the Blessed Virgin that Marian devotion can be reawakened in the Church through contemplation of Mary's beauty as well as through scholarly Mariological study. Pope Paul drove from the Vatican to the Antoniaum Hall near the Basilica of St. John Lateran where the International Marian Congress and International Mariological Congress are being held. He told partidpants: "We should like to respond to a question of great pastoral and also doctrinal relevance: how to represent Mary in an adequate way to the people of God as to reawaken in them the fervor of renewed Marian piety?" He answered that two paths can be followed. "The path of truth, first of all-that is biblical" historical and theological speculation - which concerns Mary's exact place .in the Church." He called that the "path of the learned" which is "certainly necesary." He added: "There is also, besides this one, a path accessible to all, including the least educated.
We have been expanding both plantings by adding a substantia,1 number of iris and new poppies each year and our garden is just starting to show the effects of the additions. Thus far, we are particularly pleased and feel tltat we have added two weeks to the Spring garden by their use. In The Kitchen May and June are the month:> for feasts and festivals, more so where we live because we have a' large Portuguese population and their church celebrations take place at this time. While some of the newer gatherings are much more sophisticated and informative, I still truly love the oldfashioned festas. One of the highlights of the latter, in my opinion, is the parade or procession. The children in their costumes (many ,have been very carefully dressed by their mothers or "vovos" to represent a favor-ite saint), the plaintive strains of the band and the festive crowds remind us that America is a melting pot for the best of many cultures. Joe loves these feasts because they are so unpretentious in a world that is getting more jaded and sophisticated by the minute. He feels they are a simple statement of religious worship and belief needed in a world that is turned off by so many things. In Fall River there are at least seven festas, starting in late May and continuing into late August. They are usually held on a weekend with the procession in the early afternoon or early evening of Sunday. If you have never seen one, it's well worth the effort to view another one of the customs that make ,this area unique. No Portuguese affair would be complete without ohourico or linguica in some form or other. This is one very delicious way that my mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary Roderick of St. Anthony's parish in Fall River, serves it on many Sunday mornings, right after Mass. Linguica or Chourico Bread 1 raw bread (this can be bought from an ar,ea bakery) Yz to % pound Iinguica or chourico 1) Cut the bread dough into 8 pieces by cutting in half and .then cutting those pieces in half again until you have the correct number. 2) Remove the skin from the ,Iinguica or chourico and fry the meat untH half done.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. Supreme Court, 'by a 6-3 vote, has ruled most provisions of ·a Pennsylvania auxiliary services law unconstitutional. The court upheld a provision of the law allowing the lending of textbooks to nonpublic school students-an ,aotion supported in earlier Supreme Court decisions -but rejected major provisions of the law which approved almost $12 million in auxiliary services for nonpublic schools. The auxiliary services allowed under the law included counseling, testing and psychological services; speech and hearing therapy; teaching and .related services for exceptional children, remedial students and the educationally disadvantaged. A three-judge federal court had earlier upheld the Pennsylvania law. The Supreme Court ruled that, becau'se 75 per cent of the nonpublic schools receiving auxiliary services were church-related the law bad "the unconstituti~nal primary effect of establishing religion." The court also said "excessive entanglement would be required . for Pennsylvania to be assured that the public school' professional staff members who provide the services do not advance the religious mission of the church-related schools in which they serve." Bishop James Rausch, general secretary of the U.S. Catholic .Conference, called the decision on auxiliary. services "deeply_ saddening" and " a great injustice." Noting that similar programs in' other states have been upheld in the courts, he said, "The effect of today's Supreme Court. decision is to make handicapped children attending nonpublic schools iii. Pennsylvania second class citizens." The USCC Office of General Counsel is analyzing the decision in detail, Bisho~ Rausch said. "In the meantime," he said, ",it is important to bear in mind that the court's action does not invalidate .many forms of government assistance to nonopublic .school students which have previously been upheld by the courts." The court said that textbooks were permissible because text· books used in public schools were loaned directly to students and did not further religious objectives. But the auxiliary services, material 'and equipment supplied directly to the nonpublic schools constituted "an impermissible establishment of religion," the court said. The court also said the size of

the contribution was a factor: "Substantial aid to too educational function of (church) schools ... necessarily results ,in aid to the sectarian school enterprise asa whole." The court also objected that the auxiliary services were provided only on the grounds of the nonpublic schools and only at the request of the nonpublic schools. The lower court erred in "relying entirely on the good faith and professionalism of the secular teachers and counselors functioning in church.relat~ schools to ensure that a 'stf1~tly n?nideological posture IS ma~n tained," the Supreme Court sa~d. Such assurance would require monitoring by t~; stat~an<! would amount to excessive entanglement" of church and state, the court said.

"Since I was a child, I have read about and heard stories about the great excitement surrounding steamboat races on the Mi!>sissippi," said Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans. "Although these races still ·take place a'long other segments of the river, I have never been fortunate enough to witness one. "Now for the first time in a century, people of the Crescent City (which New Orleans is caned because it lies at a bend in the river) will have their chance. And I am delighted that our own St. Louis Cathedral restoration program will be beneficiary of the race. My sincerest appreciation goes to the owners of these two magnificent vessels not only for considering the cathedral restoration so significant but more importantly for

Priests Reject Pay Increase EVANSVILLE (NC)-The Evansville diocesan priests' senate here rejecte?a proposal for a nine per cent increase in their annual salary, arguing it would be inappropriate in the face of lhe widespread unemployment today. . ''The senate wanted to give witness to our concern for those out of work and having economic problems," said Father David Kissel, senate president. The proposed increase would have raised the base salary for the priests from $2,515 to $2,740. The priests did approve a travel allowance increase from $1,020 to $1,200 a year plus 15 cents a mile for 80 per cent of mileage above 10,000 miles. Th.eir rejection of a salary increase paralleled a similar action earlier by EvansviH~ area Catha-
lie high school lay teachers, who had also cited concern for the unemployed as a reason for not taking a pay increase. In its April meeting the priests' senate also recognized fulItirne high school work ·by priests as a fuIltime ministry equal to any other form of pastoral ministry.
For Priests STEUBENVILLE (NC) - The National Conference jor Priests on Charismatic ,Renewal will be held at the College of Steubenville here June 23-28. Topics will include healing, sacramental ministry, preaching and the role of charismatic communities in the Church.

Education College to Close LONDON (NC) - England's only Catholic training instituV~ for religious education, Corpus Christi. College in London, is to he closed down at least temporarily. Grounds given for the closing are mounting costs and dwindUng support, but the decision by the college governors is be· Iieved to go beyond these to deeper questions which have surrounded the college since its birth of how and what religious education should be taught. Three years ago all five principal members of the college's religious te~ching staff resigned when Cardmal John Heenan of Westminster, its founder, asked that invitations to five proposed visiting lecturers be cancell€d. They saw the cardinal's request as an interference in academic freedom. But the cardinal declared that a bishop had the duty to decide what should be taught in~ diocesan college of catechetics, and he described the teaching at Corpus Christi as "inadequate."

Il is no secret that the cardinal for sOme time enjoyed little support from other members of the English and Welsh hierarchy for the running of this institute: It has become dependent on students from the Religious orders and from overseas. After the fracas in 1972 the reconstituted college o~ened with a new staff and 20 English and Welsh diocesan priests as students. This year the 33 .students attending full-time include 25 women Religious but only three diocesan priests from this country. The official announcement of the closing said' . "In order to survive, the collegEt needs roughly twice thc present number of students. "At a time when it is difficult to obtain a year's leave of absence to take the course there is little prospect of recruiting a sufficient number of students to make the college viable next year.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Churchrelated institutions giving instruction in secular subjects should not be deprived of reimbursement that is or should be, available to them under the law, according to Jesuit Father Rob· ert F. Drinan, Democratic congressman from Massachusetts. He was interviewed in the May issue of Momentum, the quarterly magazine of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA). In the interview, Father Drinan, noting the series of U.S. Supreme Court decisions ruling out government aid to church·related schools, said that the people who attend these schools, their par· ents, the educators, should stress the second part of the First Amendment to the Constitution -in the free exercise of religion - rather than argue the first part-the establishment of reli· gion dause. "Those who are devoted to Catholic education should continue to develop the concept that going to a Catholic school is part of the free exercise of religion," he said. ''That free exercise is guaranteed by the second article of the First Amendment." ACLU Member Pointing- out that courts have not banned state or federal funds for church-related colleges, Father Deinan said: "It seems anomalous to me that a person who is 17 can go to the college of his choice, even a churchrelated school, and receive this aid-yet if he a,ttended a Catholic high school the year before, neither he nor the institution would get anything by way of reimbur~ement for his training in the secular sciences." Defending his membership in the national advisory council of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has consistently opposed federal and state aid to church-related schools, Father Drinan said he does not agree with all the views of the ACLU but believes that "the better way to participate in such a group is by arguing rationally from within, rather than by throwing stones from the outside."

There are now more than 42 million Catholics in Africa, about 4,600 African priests and 154 African bishops. The Church has been implanted; the Gospel is being preached-and it is being preached increasingly by Africans. Missioners How Esteemed Certainly, missionaries have undergone some severe hardships in Africa. They were the necessary pioneers, and then the willing crutches on which the
new Church could lean. But when more and more African nations became independent, self-important and - stronger, missionar-ies were looked upon as reminders of the' nations' colonial past. African Church leaders today, however, are looking upon missionaries as necessary bridge builders, representatives of older churches that are linking Christian communities in all parts of the world. This is a good sign, because missionaries once again are being esteemed for their concern for souls-not only for their expertise in the social and welTurn to Page Fourteen

In 1949 a French priest who had spent 40 consecutive years in China told me that no Chinese priest was worthy of ordination as a Bishop. Somehow or other, the whole point in Jesus Christ's life and death seems to have been missed. Loudly we proclaimed that He died that ALL men might be saved. We tended to forget, however, that alI Christians-Protestant, Orthodox 'and Catholic-number less than one billion in a world population racing toward four billion. Are those three billion men, women and children outside the saving mercy of God? Surely not. But they have a right to hear the word of God and we who, through no merit of our own. have received the followers of the truth, have an obligation to provide them with the opportunity to hear. Dialogue: Methodology No one will ever know how much harm has been done by the scandal of Christian disunity. In our approach to the non-Chris· tian peoples of our world, there must be a true spirit of ecumenism. More than this, we must exercise true humility and accept dialogue as our methodology. Let us remember well these words from the Decree on- Ecumenism: "Before the whole world, let alI Christians profess their faith in God, one and three, in the incarnate Son of God, our Redeemer and Lord. United in their efforts, and with mutual respect, let them bear witness to our common hope, which does not play us false. Since in our times cooperation in social matters is very widely practiced, alI
men without exception are summoned to united effort. Those who, believe in God have it stronger ,summons, but the strongest claims are laid on Christians, since they have been sealed with the name of Christ." (Father Frederick A.

The bishops of East Africa made this clear in their "Special Message to Missionaries" in December 1974: "A new missionary era has begun," they said. "A new missionary spirit has been initiated between the older and younger churches. H consists in fraternal give-andtake." Eliminate Superstitions And speaking of the continuous need for missionaries, Bishop Patrick Kalilombe of lilongwe, MalaWi, said: "Even if there were enough local people to evangelize an area, it would not be our ideal to say that missionaries therefore are not wanted. Evangelization should always be between churches. We should not make the mistake of confusing self-sufficiency with isolation." • Yes, the elderly tribesmen around that fire were wrong about tl.e spirits in falling stats. And missionarie,s, by preaching the Word, do help free the people from the tyranny of superstitution. Witchdoctors are not forever!
Protestants' Donate $110,000 To Catholic Project in' Colombia STOCKHOLM (NC) A Swedish Protestant organization known as Free-Church Aid has contributed the equivalent of about $110,000 to a Catholicsponsored cooperative in Colombia. The Swedish government's development aid agency is expected to folIow suit with about $80,000 to the same garbagedump cooperative in MedeHin. which was begun by a priest who had worked along with his parishioners as a garbage picker. Father Vkente Mejia. With the help of the Swedes, Father Mijia has also added a brickworks and a farm. The Protestant aid group includes Baptists, Mission Covenanters, Methodists and Pentecostalists. _ In the falI of 1973, during an ecumenical dev.elopment aid week arranged by the churches here, Father Mejia accepted an invitation to come and speak about the situation of his parish~ ioners in a slum district of Medellin. He told his audience that hundreds of unemployed were supporting themselves by scavenging in a 30-acre garbage dump for food, glass, paper, metal and other saleable refuse. For one year Father Mejia had joined them and worked in the

dump. He helped organize a "dump cooperative" able to buy up what the unemployed could find. Instead of letting the merchants of Medellin take a profit, the slum people enjoy a better income. New Hope "It may have been that the Gospel often has functioned as 'opium to the people,' and that the Church has been on the side of the rich," Father Mejia told the Swedes. These words so struck his audience that they asked him to list· his needs. "A truck, a machine for paper pressing, and a brickworks," he !'*lid. These have since been given him. Per Arne Aglert, leader of the Swed,ish Free-Church Aid. told NC News Service he had returned from the ceremonial inauguration of the garbage-dump cooperative in Medellin. He said the brickworks plus an 82-acre farm, both administered by the cooperative, had been purchased. A truck and some machines useful gfor the dump work were delivered at the same time. With the brickworks, 'the cooperative hopes to provide cheaper building material for slum inhabitants.

However, "thenjl s nothing to fear but fear," nothing to dissolve this fear like keeping eyes and heart on the wide horizons of the world. In the face of a slow-down there have been reassuring gains. Develoryment of Africa The Growing Up of Africa: As consoling in Church growth as any area of the globe in this period is the continent of Africa. The African continent 'with 42,000,000 Catholics is' as deeply alive to economic, cultural, religious and political evolution as any area on the globe. Zaire, the former Belgian Congo, is an example. H is ruled by an African Catholic who respects the heavily Catholic populace in his nation but who comes clown with a hard hand on any liberties taken by the Catholic hierarchy that hark back to olden days. More than 40 African bishops are headed by an African cardinal. On one occasion the President required the Cardinal (a boyhood friend) to go into exile for a period for his ':impertinences." The President of Nigeria, a vital national counting a fifth of Africa's population, is a Moslem. He is not hostile to his 3.500 000 Catholic citizenship. Yet recently, when a sector of his realm engaged in armed rebelIion upon the subdual of the revolt, he ordered some 300 Catholic missionaries out of the country for siding with the rebellion. He has henceforth refused entrance to badly needed Catholic missioners. An indication of the prestige earned by the Church in Africa is the selection of two African archbisho:,s as - major officers in Rome's Sacred Congregation of Evangelization. Horizons of Eura'sia: Curiously, Christian life in Eurasia, both Catholic and Protestant, faces two formidably active competitors for souls. In the first instance it is the Moslem and in the second the Communist. Moslem In the first instance the Mos-
lem may be respected for his deep spiritual discipline, though we regret his active hostility toward all other faiths. In the second instance we face the Communist with, far more important, the Communist's brutal hostility towar~ everything spiritual. Since Communism's first great explosion of 1917, its world center flourishes in Russia: the union of 15 Soviet Socialist Republics which stretch from the Baltic to the Pacific with Moscow the capital. In recent years more and more good souls, forced in fear into the Red ranks, have become disillusioned in their adherence. As to the Moslem, Pope Paul on the occasion of Vatican II made strong overtures to friendly communism. 'In the early 20th century much savagery took place between Moslem and Eastern Christians. The discovery of oil in Arabia will bring important changes among Moslem. The classic Moslem world is a solid block of na· tions on the shores of Africa from Egypt through to the Atlantic and in Western Asia from Iraq to Pakistan with the desertic Arabian Peninsula in between. How wiII the minority of Eastern Rite Christians fare in this oil change? More directly affecting Christians was the Westward march of the Moslem in centuries gone by. They reached the southern tip of the Philippines just as the Spaniards reached the northern tip. Their Filipino colony gives grief today to the Christan Filipino government. At a world congress on -the Malay Peninsula in 1974, the Moslems sharply condemned the Filipinos for maltreatment of their brethren. Manila immediately acted solicitously. Hope Still Prevails Christianity in the huge continent of Asia corithlUes with miniscule dimensions. Yet zeal and hope prevail. India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Taiwan, Korea inch ahead. Oddly enough, the most densely Catholic area is the Flores Archipelago, shared by Indonesia and Portugal. Far off

CORT Convenes At Mont Marie
SOlJ11H ORANGE (NC)--God has not rejected the Jewish people; His call to them is "continuous, irrevocable and indestrut;tible," a Jesuit theologian told a symposium here. The existence of a new covenant "does not destroy the old," he said.
HOLYOKE - The Conference of Religious Treasurers (CORT) Region 1, recently held its annual spring meeting at Mont Marie, with all New England represented by the executive treasurers or members of financial boards of religious communities of women. '
The theologian, Jesuit Father Walter Burghardt, a theology' professor at the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C., spoke at the annual spring symposium of Seton Hall University's Institute of JudaeoChristian Studies. Father Burghardt is also editor of Theological Studies and a member of the Pontifical Theological Commission. Father Burghardt upheld the validity of JewiS:l belief and practice today. "The !'tynagogue service is a place where God is present to His people, where God t;aIls them to salvation and grants them a life of faith," he said. At thp. same (iml~, he said, although the Jewish people have not been rejected by God, "the covenant God made with them has become universal." Christian theologians, Father Burghardt said, "have to take seriously the history of the Jewish people and their present existence." "We have just begun to explore God's plan with. reference to other religions," he said and then asked: "If God's plan is at work within the Jewish community, is it His will that people drift away from their convic· tions?" Father Burghardt .offered 10 "personal propositions" or "affirmations": The Jewish people were chosen by God to be His people. The Jews did not cease to be God's people after the death of Jesus. 'Graced Life' The Jewish people are in no way accurs~d by God. God's covemmt has been expanded to !n::lude Gentiles. God's promises reached an unparaIleled point in Jesus. The Jews "cannot be called guilty of Jesus' death," for "there is no such thing as collective guilt;" the charge is "historically and theologiea lIy untenable." There is a lack of certainty about what theology should say about the relationship between Jesus and the Jew of today but it cannot be denied that the Jewish "corporate life is a graced life." There is similar unl:ertainty about the role of the Church in regard to the synagogue but the term "conversion" should be used carefully and in the sense that it is something to which all are called. Despite uncertainties, "the Jewish people have a God-given role to play in human history" and that role cannot be defined in terms of its relationship to Christianity. God is still revealing Himself to and through the Jews, not only in their synagogue service but in their lives."

In addition to holding regular semi-annual meetings and fostering mutual enrichment and assistance, CORT organized a corporate responsibility committee to permit concerted effort for action against corporations l.acking in social responsibility. This committee is presently being absorbed by a large New England coalition being expanded to include priests, religious brothers, and diocesan financial officers. 1'~""':;~:--~~~~~""'-:-""~"":~::7'~"iJ
