VATICAN CITY (NC) - The 1975 Holy Year was proclaimed solemnly and officially on Aseension Thursday with the reading of a papal .bull in which Pope Paul VI said he hopes that pilgrims to Rome will find a realization of the themes of renewal and reconciliation.

The proclamation wa,s essentially ceremonial in nature because Pope Paul had announced his intention of holding a Year at a general audience in May 1973.

The papal bull-<:onsidered the most solemn form of documlmts issued by the Holy See - was entitled Apostolorum Limina, translated by the Vatican as The Memorials of the Apostles, meaning the tombs of Sts. P,eter and Paul.

At the ceremony a group of prelates, including Msgr. Gugli-

elmo Zannoni, head of the archives of the papal secretariat of state, and Msgr. VirgiHo Noe, master of pontifical ceremonies, received the copies of the bull from Pope Paul in the Vatican palace early on May 23 and then went in procession to the atrium, or open front porch, of St. Peter's Basilica for the oHicial reading of the Latin document

by Msgr. Zannoni.

After copies of the bull were consigned to officials of St. Peter's· Basilica to be affixed to the doors of the church, Msgr Noe and other officials departed for St. Paul's Outside the Walls for a similar ceremony. In the afternoon the rea'<1ing of the bull was again performed at the remaining two basilicas in Rome, St. John Lateran's and St. Mary Major's. ' Tu~ to Page Four

Bishop Expresses Gratitude .Dearly beloved in Christ, The 1974 Catholi.c Charities Appeal hall been an unprecedented success. We have substantially exceeded last year's total in establishing a new record amount. More parishes than ever before have surpassed prior sums collected. Our plans for maintaining and expanding apostolic, social, charitable end educational programs rest on a firm and solid foundation, thanks to the magnificent generosity of the good people of our area.

1 am profoundly grateful to everyone who responded to this year's Appeal. The 'results are a marvelous testimonial to the dedicated labors of the clergy, religious and laity of the Diocese and to the generosity and concern of the community at large. My personal gratitude is echoed by the thanks of the many thousands of beneficiaries of the Appeal.

Sometimes, it seems, negative and gloomy indications of the darker side of human nature predominclte when news is published or broadcast. Optimistic and encouraging signs, however, do emerge, and they buoy up the hearts and souls of all who note them; they provoke the Mautifu[ virtue of hope.

1 consider the grand results of our recent Catholic Charities Appeal to be signs of that latter sort. Please join me in rejoicing at this truly wonderful success.

Together with my hearty thanks goes my prayerful good wish for God's every choice blessing upon you all.

Devotedly yours in Christ,

"Respond to Holy Spirit" Dearly beloved -in Christ, Since the Second V.atican Council, the Mass and the Sacramental Rites of the Church have been revised. Perhaps in your family you have participated in the beautiful new ceremony for the Baptism of infants; perhaps you have commended loved ones to God's mercy in the moving Funeral Rite. Throughout the Diocese this year and last, there has been a definite and noticeable richness to the celebration of Confirmation in our parishes. Of late, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick has been revised, and pastoral care of our SICk and: elderly has been made more comforting and meanIngful as the new forms have been introduced. Of course, in alI this, the basics . have remained: God touches the hearts and souls of His people, pouring His graces upon them in Holy Mass and the Sacraments. But our participation in the sacred rites, our understanding and perception of them, have been significan!ly enhanced by the renewal and reform of the Liturgy. . .

--Chesterton

Says Pope's. Reco~mendations Do Not Mean Return to Latin ·ROME (NC)-The use of Latin Gregorian chant recently recommended for some parts of the Mass by Pope Paul VI "does not mean a return to the Latin Mass," according to a top Church liturgist.

At Eastertime, the Pope sent to all the world's bishops a small booklet, entitled "Jubilate Deo," containing some simple Latin hymns in Gregorian chant that could be used by Catholics during Mass and other Hturgical ceremonies.

Opens Way to New Look at 'Obscenity WASHINGTON (NC)-In an action that may open the way to a review of its 1973 obscenity decision, the U. S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a New Jersey obscenity case.

The case involves a 1971 New Jersey law which was ruled un· constitutional last year by a three-judge federal court. That court held the la·w failed to specify which kinds of sexual activity could not be depicted. The law was so broad oit could be used to ban material which "to the average person applying contemporary community standards, when considered as a whole, has its dominant theme or purpose an appeal to the prurient inter~ est." The 1973 decision had declared that community standards could be used in determining whether material was obscene.

Benedictine Father Burkard Neunheuser, dean of the Ponti'fical Liturgical Institute, sa.id that the hymns in the booklet do not "in any way mean' to supplant or replace hymns in other languages."

Father Neuheuser said that congregations are free to use Latin :hymns during Mass or other liturgical ceremony as they wish. But'he made it clear that that does not mean a return to total and exclusive use of Latin.

No .special permission has to ,be granted for the use of Latin hymns or those in other languages, he added.

The occasional use of sung Latin during Mass as recommended by the Pope in "Jubilate Deo" . is in complete harmony with the Second Vatican Council's liturgical reforms, which brought in the use of the vernacular in the Church's worship.

"Jubilate Deo" was accompanied by a letter signed by Australian Cardinal James Knox, the new prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, calling attention to the Pope's wish that alI Catholics "should know some Latin chants for the Mass, for example, the Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Pater Noster and Agnus DeL" Liturgists here agree that the Pope's concern for the continued use of some Latin is entirely in accord with the teachings of the Second Vatican CounciL

Priests' Senate Final Meeting For Term

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur., May 30', 1974

Story of Charity It would have been quite easy in these days of inflation and fear for the economic future to have held out little optimism for the success of this year's Charity Appeal. But the charity of Christ has touched the hearts of Catholics and those of other faiths and the total reached is the highest 'in the history of the Appeal.

The final figure-impressive as it certainly is-does not tell the story of the Appeal. The story is in the thousands of sacrifices made by all those involved-the efforts of the Appeal office, the work of the priests in organizing the' parish drive, the selflessness of solicitors in both the special and parish phases, and the great spirit of concern for oth~rs that impelled all those who gave with such generosity and with sacrifice.

The gifts would have to be given with sacrifice to reach the impressive total of this year's Appeal.

And this means that the spirit of caring is still very much alive and an impelling force in the hearts of the people of this area.

In an age when there is so much disillusionment, so much cynicism, so much questioning of motives, so much resentment of institutions, it is indeed heartening that many people worked together and through a structure that was a means and not an end gathered so much money so that those in need, those with worries, those seeking help, those weary with sickness and turmoil, might find people and places to aid them and to show them that love of God and of neighbor are very much alive in today's world.

This is the story of charity told by this year's Catholic Charities Appeal.

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 arid 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 Him as priests and brothers and sisters. .

The work of man is' to uncover these voc'ations, 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 tothe 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.

In its final meeting for this term, the Fan River Priests' Senate heard its President, Rev. Peter N. Graziano, give a summation of the senate's work.

Father Graziano stressed that many areas of development had taken place not only for the priests of the Diocese but also in the service of the people of God in the Diocese.

The planning of days of recollection in relation to the celebration of the Holy Years on the part of the clergy working in the Diocese was the fruit of the Committee of Priestly Renewal.

Those entrusted with the work of Priest Education worked hand in hand with the Department of Education and planned the priests' re~reats for this year and next.

The results of the major effort of the Committee for Religious callie to frl!ition at tihis meeting with the unanimous passing of a resolution that would give fur.. ther representation to those 'priests in Religious Orders and Congregations laboring in' the Diocese of Fall River.

There arc other seminarians. brothers and sisters studying at various stages of preparation for many Religious Congr,egations which may' serve within the Diocese but envision apostolates in a wider area than the territory of the Diocese of Fait River.

There has been a general drop in vocations worldwide and nation-wide. Many authorities sense a slight reversal in the worrisome trend.

Entitled "The Spirit Will Set You Frec" was written and directed by Father Cook with the aim of aiding par'ishes and schools to more fully appreciatc Pentecost, Confirmation, Com· munity and life itself.

The style is "GodspeHish" with added media dimensions and in· c1udes pre-taped sound applif.icalion.

This one hour learning experi· ence for young and old alike was extremely well received by the audience in Auburn at its premiere.

Critics feel that this play is one of Father Cook's finest contributions to religious education.

Admission to the showing is free, however,a good-will offering may be made at the conclusion of the presentation.

Bishop Appeals for Vocations Continued from Page One The Sacrament of Holy Orders has been thoroughly revised during these immediate past years, too. The Sacrament whereby men, calted by Almighty God to preside at worship and to sanctify God's people, are ordained, set apart for this wondrous ministry, has been made more beautiful and significant in its celebration.

Here in the Diocese of Fait River, as Bishop I have only recently had the great consolation of conferring ·the Sacrament of Holy Orders upon three new priests and several of our deacons. Our sacred rites whereby these dedi(:ated and zealous young men were ordained were, in accord with' the revised texts' and forms, very beautiful and very striking. I frankly. wish that alt the good people of the entire Diocese could have participated in these celebrations, for indeed they were most encouraging, sure signs of hope and occasions of joy.

At both priestly and diaconal ordination, there is a solemn moment when the candidates prostrate themselves while everyone present recites the Litany of ·the Saints. Three invocations are of particular significance: "Bless these chosen ones," the Cantor sings, and all respond, "We ask you, hear us."

"Bless these chosen ones," the Cantor continues, " and make them holy." Everyone responds, "We ask you, hear us." ",Bless these chosen ones," the invocation continues, "and ma,ke them holy, and! set them apart for sacred duties." The entire Cathedral swells with the response, "We ask you, hear us."

I would like to ask everyone in the Diocese of Fall River to echo that portion of the Rite of Ordination, begging God's blessing not only upon our newly ordained priests and deacons, but upon all the ordained ministers of God's Word and Sacraments in this Diocese, and. in fact, upon aB consecrated to God's service.

.

Next weekend, we shalt observe our Diocesan Vocation Sunday, Please remember in your prayers the bishops, priests, deacons, brothers and sisters who are laboring with such dedication and generosity in this portion of the Lord's vineyard. Please pray that many young men and women from the good homes and families of this Diocese will respond to the promptings of the 'Jioly Spirit and present themselves for priestly or religious service. We thank God for the grace of many vocations and we pray, urgently and confidently, for a continued manifestation of the glorious tradition of the Diocese of Fall River in this respect.

Next weekend, the annual Ecclesiastical Student Fund Collection will be taken up at all the Masses. This is our principal means of providing seminary education for the young men preparing to serve Almighty God and the faithful of this Diocese. I ask your special generosity.

Grateful for your prayers and for ·your generous cooperation, and extending prayerful good wishes to you all for God's choice blessings in rich abundance. I remain Devotedly yours in Christ,

Bishop of Fall River

College Students Form Lobby

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur., May 30, 1974

Says C,om~ple'x S,eat Belts Ensure Sa'fe D,rivers

SANTA CLARA (NC) - Student ·representailives from 12 Ca'1ifornia private colleges participated in a meeting at the University. of Santa Clara to form a college students' lobby.

As a result of the students' ef,forts, the Independent California College and University Student Association (ICCUSA) was, chartered at the meeting. The representatives also discussed problems facing independent higher educat-ion in the st,ate, and took steps to organize and fund a lobby in the state capital of Sacramento.

Mike Seaman, Occidental College student body president, was elected executive director 'of the ICCUSA. Seaman expects student government associations from all 52 private colleges and universities in CaHfornia to join the new group before its next general meeting in October.

Speaking at tJhe meeting, University of Santa Clara president, Father Thomas Terry, told the students, "There is no way the cost of higher education can go down." He explained that college costs "cannot be. mechanized to any great extel)t and students from milddle income fammes are being driven away from the independent universities."

An older woman who lives on my street had the same car for years. She drove all over in it, and I always admired her spunky spirit when she drove hundreds of miles to visit family and friends. Recently, she stopped in to visit me.

"FASTEN SEAT BELTS." We thought the weight of the luggage on the back seat might be the problem. We got out in the rain, moved the luggage to the trunk, faStened the back seat belts, and tried again.

"FASTEN SEAT BELTS.", My husband went back to the rental desk. The girl was all smiles. "Sometimes those safety mechanisms fuss a bit. Let me try it."

My husband was already standing in the rain. She suggested I get out too. She got in ,the car, braced her left fo.ot

The next time we used the . car, we budded up, turned the key, and got the light ... but this time we knew the rules. We both got out, buckled the belts, reached in to the -ignition ... and the car started.

This could be a hit awkward in traffic if the car stalled. You could just sm1ile back at the people honking their horns, and wave to ·them. The people honking might wonder if they knew you, and it COuld confuse them long enough for you to start the car. ,I got to thinking that Detroit may not have. f,ound a way to make' people wear seat belts ... hut they sure have a great system for getting the drunk driver off the road. .

No one can start the new cars unless he's 'cold sober.

Large London Ra Ily Opposes Lega I Abortion LONDON (NC)-About 80,000 persons marched silently two miles across central London to the principal government offices and to Prime Minister Harold Willson's residence for one or the largest anti-abortion demonstrations ever held in Britain.

At the prime minister's front door on Downing street a group of uniformed nurses from England, Scotland and Wales, laid symbolic wreaths of white flowers representing the thousands of unborn babies destroyed through abortions.

The organizers of the demonstration, the interdenominational Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, turned in a letter to the prime minister 'which said that legalized abortion is "a 'license to print money for the shady end of the medical profession."

Abortionists and their partners, the letter said, "have been amassing vast fortunes from the exploitation of women with scarcely a murmur of protest from those whom the public ha~ trusted with its protection," Dehumanizes Society

Most of the rosary makers clubs are in the, United States,

but associate groups are located in Australia and 'also in Indonesia. Requests for rosaries come primarily from missionaries including one request from a Baptist missionary.

OAK RIDGE (NC) - Msgr.

George G. Higgins told the gen· eral assembly of the Paulist Fathers here in New Jersey that "there is nothing as importa'nt as a deepening of prayer life in the priesthood.

"At a time when the clergy are becoming more active, there is a greater need for private prayer and meditation," Msgr.

Higgins, secretary for research of the U. S. Catholic Conference, said. "Otherwise, I am afraid we will have nothing to give to the modern world that it can't get from other people."

Msgr. Higgins said that intere.st in prayer is growing and lay people are looking to the clergy for leadership_ "There is a much greater hunger for a personal prayer life than we realize," he said. "We haven't yet plumbed the depths of the crisis in religion," "We must attach much greater importance to faith and hope," Msgr. Higgins said.

He cited as hopeful signs the attention given to prayer by priests' groups, the development of houses of prayer, and the numerous articles in the Cath.oIlc press on the subject of prayer.

"Every priest has to be honest enough to say if 'I'm not saying the hrievary any -more, what have I substituted for it?'" Msgr.

Higgins said. "I don't think it's a happy situation to see the breviary being given up wholesale unless something else is taking its place. If we're not giving as much time to personal prayer as . when we were, first:. ,ordained, then we're not'living up to what the Church has a right to expect . of us," .

Human ResJ»ect Called ObstcJcle To Vocations VATICAN CITY (NC)-Popr Paul VI in his message for World Vocations Day, recently, told young people that today "human respect" is probably "thr most serious practical and psychological obstacle" to answering Christ's call to the Rcligiou~ life.

Pope Paul began his 'message by addressing the young people of the world, saying that Vocations Day "is my day; that is, the day of the Fisherman." He explained that he was following the example of Christ as related in ,the Gospel when Christ saw fisherman on the banks of the Lake of Gallilee and called out: "Come with me and I shan make you fishers of men."

Noting that young people are 1I1ways aware of being called to service and to a more selfless life, Pope Paul analyzed three reasons today why young people find strong objectiaons against a vocation. .

The first, he said, is a specifically religious one. "The objection is formulated in the com. mon question: is it worth it?" 'he said.

Religion today, the Pope explained, is "assailed and challenged by the most radical philosophical and biblical views," but there is also involved the "moral evaluation of the sacrifices" implicit in responding to the aall of a Religious Vocation.

"Is it worth it to stake one's own existence on a life-formula that the Church" presents as a' stlre interpretation of absolute fidelity to the following of Christ?"

Wonderful Invitation In answer the Pope affirmed: "This objection is so powerful and complex that it engages the entire explorative, speculative and moral capacity necessary for attaining a certainty, a victorious truth. And this truth, young people, is not difficult to attain through study, reflection, counsel, prayer, and, above all, through grace.

"By its nature it presupposes and requires that a voice should be heard - the voice of the Father through Christ and in the Holy Spirit-and the wonderful invitation: Come. This is a grace tha.t has in itself its own power of attraction, of conviction, of certainty. Basically, it is only a question of testing it and then of accepting it generously."

The second obstacle, said Pope Paul, is the present-day social environment and human respect that "grips us, absorbs us, conditions us in such a way that it is very <Iifficult to free oneself of it and to get out of it by adopting an ecclesiastical attitude, life-style and commitment."

Today, the Pope continued, human respect "is perhaps the most serious practical and psychological obstacle."

New Director WASHINGTON (NC)-Father Virgil C. Funk, Jr., of the diocese of Richmond, Va., has been named new executive director of the Liturgical Conference. He will take over a post that has been vacant since George A. Moudry resigned in the spring of 1973 to return to social work.

Pope Paul Urges Pr'eaching Gospel Through Communications Medici

Christians engaged .in the communications field need to pay attention to a number of pressing demarids in fulfillment of the mandate of Christ to spread the Gospel, the Pope said.

He cited for example, the need "to set the contemporary vehicles of information and allied services along a line of development which wm falCilitate the diffusion of the Good News and create a favorable climate for the strengthening of concepts such as the dignity of t1he human person. justice and universal brotherhood."

Those values, the Pope declared, "make it easier for a man to understand his own true vo.cation and at the same time open the way to a constructive dialogue with others and to union with God."

The Camps also offer a great variety of other activities ranging from horseback riding, cam.pcraft and rif.lery to sports of all tJ1)es.

,Vatican Cc)mmiss~on ·Issues Study Docum'ent on Evangelization WASHINGTON (NC)-A Vat· ican study document on "social Communications and Evangelization in 'the World of Today," the theme of the eighth World Communications Day, has been issued by the Pontifieal Commission for Social Communications.

The document was distrib'uted to all U. S. dioceses by the Communication Department of· the U.,S. Catholic Conference' here' in preparation for World Communications Day, May 26.

Noting that Christ told his Apostles to preach the Gospel to all peoples, the document said, . "This can .be interpreted as a duty to use the most effective means at hand to bring'the Gospel to even the most isolated or distant human beings."

However, the document said, 'the message of Christ has not been heard by all people. To insure that all people can hear Christ's message, the mass media s~ould be used more: efficiently" the document added.

"A Catholic press -is ·indispensable for evangelization ..." it said. "Today especially when the world is changing so rapidly, when old structures are crumbling, and seemingly well established ideas turning upside down, it is important that Chr·istians should. 'be able to turn to the Catholic press for guidance."

Those who read the Catholic press, the document said, should "insure that it is a high quality press, of interest to non-Christians and non~believers as well

as Christians."

Radio and telev·ision, the Vatican document said, "can contribute to the rapid change of mentalities, to the creation of new types of social relations, to the tr.ansformation of man himsel.f."

The electronic media do this, it explained, by providing their listeners and viewers with "ready access to world events, and to th~ problems and cultures of other. peoples ..."

and a bronze medal in 50 yard free style races in the same age class.

From Fall River, medalists were David La France, gold medals in 50 yard freestyle and 25 yard backstroke; and Michele Carrier, silver medals in 50 yard freestyle and 25 yard backstroke races in the 10 to 12 age class; Carmel Rosa, bronze medal in 50 yard freestyle, gold medal in 25 yard backstroke in p to 15 class.

MSGR. JOHN S. KENNEDYin proms) can be made from it, it is impossible to tell.

The scene is Amity, a beach town on Long Island. The time is June, just prior to the resort's high season. A woman goes for a swim late one night and does not return. She has fallen vkHm to a great wh~te shark. Her remains, when the tide washes ,them up, indicates as much to knowledgeable people in town.

One of these is Martin Br-ody, the chief of police. Brody is ~ conscientious man, and he determines to close the beaches to prevent a repetition of such an attack. His decision is fiercely resisted by. other authorities in town.

Brody is faced with a dilemma He will be severely blamed if a decision of 'his costs the town needed revenue. But he will also be severely blamed if he f'ails to take protective measures against ,another such attack. He allows himself to be persuaded that anything so extremely unusual is unlikely to occur soon again.· He says nothing, does nothing.

Serious Trouble Almost at once the shark strikes a second time. These horrors cannot be concealed. The beaches are closed, various ways of dealing with the crisis are proposed, the town is in serious economic trouble.

One had supposed that the nub of the novel would be the consequences for Brody of a decision which he thought wrong but into which he had been pressured by arguments certainly deserving consideration. The focus would be, one expected, on the price a good man has to pay for accedjng to the not implausi,ble demands of people far less disinterested than he.

-But no, Mr.' Benohley steers away from that confrontation, and his novel quickly deteriorates as a result. It takes, in succession, two divers'ionary courses.

One has to do with Brody's wife who came from a moneyed sum~er family and, quite improbably, left that leisurely and luxurious world to marry a policeman. Now, with the advent of

with the visiitor; it is steamily describe.d.

The other line concerns Brody's obsessive pursuit of the shark. This comes as the climax of the book and is a suspense narrative of unusual tautness and force. As writing, this is undoubtedly the best part of the novel.

Still, one is sadly disappointed -by the author'ls veering off from a conflict with real moral dimension. He may have intended the shark as a symbol, but there is no vital relationship between such a symbol and the story as he chooses to develop it.
