Vocations 'Sunday dJTbe Vocations: Church ANCHOR Offers Great Hope Visible, Credible Dearly Beloved in Christ, " In the Decree on Priestly Formation of the Second Vatican Council, the whole People of God, families, teachers, clergy and religious, together with the Bishop, are called upon to form an active partnership in the work of encouraging vocations, cooperating in this task with Divine Providence. I am pleased, therefore, to report to you all that here in the Diocese of Fall River we continue to be blessed in the important area of vocations to the priesthood.

Earlier this month, I was privileged to confer the Sacrament of Holy Orders 'upon four new priests, who, with a fifth new priest ordained earlier during the year, have increased the ranks of the clergy of the Diocese in a most encouraging way. It gives me even greater satisfaction to announce that we expect a dozen new seminarians to begin studies for the priesthood of the Diocese next autumn. With this expectation, our Diocese will number over fifty young men in seminary studies, a sign of vitality and hope for which we are most grateful to Almighty God., ' The ,expense of educating our young men' for the Turn to Page Two,

This coming Sunday, June 4, the Feast of Corpus Christi, will be observed in all the parishes , of the Diocese as a Diocesan Day of Prayer.

This Day of Prayer brings together at one and the same time the Forty Hours pevotion services observed by parishes in former years at various designated times throughout the year.

Emphasis will be on Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with particular stress this year on prayer for priestly vocations.

To Honor Eucharist

Vol. 16, No. 22, June 1, 1972

VATICAN CITY (NC}-Pope Paul VI urged all Catholics t() work hard to foster Religious vocations among the young as the visible sign of the Church's "credibility" in the world.

In a letter addressed to all sectors of the Catholic world, the Pope stressed the immense importance that vocations hold for the Church "as the sign of its visibility, the confirmation of its future."

The Pope called for prayers that God's voice "may be heard with generosity by ever more ardent and numerous groups of young people and that they may be persons of solid Eucharistic piety, enlightened Marian devotion."

The Pope said that a "vocation is a serious undertaking that requires an openness, an interior attitude and a breaking with every self-interest and with human prudence, both on the part of those who have been called and those who are close to them."

"The family is the first seminary," the Pope said, aQd is the irreplaceable reserve from which new vocations to the Church come.

"All know the gravity and urgency of priestly vocations Tum tq Page Two '

At Stonehill Graduation "YO\~ gradua':es have seen more change in your lifetimes than occurred in the whole history of man before you were born," Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President of Notre Dame University, told .graduates and their guests at Stonehill College: commencement ceremonies held Sunday at the North Easton campus.

Citing the enormous changes in the Church, transportation, knowledge, energy and higher education as examples, Father Hesburgh cautioned the students, "It is your reaction to these changes and those to come which will determine what kind of a world you live in."

Borman Asserts Flight to Moo~ Renewed Faith NEW YORK (NC)-Col. Frank Borman, commander of the first manned flight,around the moon, told an American Bible Society meeting that the words of the Bible were "never more applicable" than now.

Borman, an Episcopal I,ay reader, read from the Book of Genesis on Christmas Eve, 1968, as Apollo 8 orbited the moon.

He said that the broadcast to' millions had elicited reactions from millions.

Asked in an interview whether many queries had come from theologians interested in a "theology of space" he said he was "amazed" at the keen concern of Pope Paul VI, whom he met in . 1969.

"He wa,s interested in what we thought and felt as we looked back at the earth" and in the meaning of "the concept of man going beyond the ea~th and the solar system."

In his prepared remarks Borman, now an airline executive, said that the voyage was the Turn to Page Six

Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, .S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, con. ~ducted the rite offinal commendation at the conclusion of the . concelebrated Mass offered by Rev. Edmund J.

Fjtzgerald, who died on' May 27..

Continued from Page One priesthood is very great as seminary education is of comparable cost to college and university studies. Families with young men and women enrolled in higher educational institutions can well imagine the financial burden of maintaining over fifty seminarians in school!- Consequently, .1 urgently ask your very best efforts in next week-end's Ecclesiastical Student Fund Collection. A special second collection will be taken up in the Diocese on the first week~ end in June and I ask your generous response.

Finally, I ask your constant prayers that dedicated . young men·in our' midst will generously respond to God's beckoning to serve~is people's spiritual needs, Thanking you and extending to you cordial good wishes for God's abundant blessings, f remain Devotedly· yours in Christ,

Father Fitzgerald was the principal celebrant of the funeral Mass. Most Rev. James J. Gerrard, Auxiliary Bishop of the Fall River Diocese, also attended the rites.

This last reference may have been a papal comment on the inequality of state benefits in housing and schooling found between the south and the north, 'as well as the lower retirement pensions given farmers 'compared to most other workers.

The agricultural world, the Pope insisted, "still constitutes one of the most precious physical and spiritual reserves of energy for the nation."

Asserts Racism Still Strong

This Year's Appeal

NOTRE DAME (NC) - The United States has been "perilously close to apartheid" in the past and the climate of race relations is still "troubled and emotionridden," former U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren I said here.

Mr. Warren gave three lectures at the University of Notre Dame to inaugurate a new series on civil rights sponsored by the university's law school.

As chief justice of the Supreme Court in 1954, when the' court ruled that segregated education was unconstitutional, Mr. Warren has himself often been the center of controversy about race f~lations in the U. S. He defended the activist role of the court in the 1950s and 1960s and insisted that "every group of American citizens is entitled to all the rights and privileges of that citizenship or it ,is entitled to none.

"Harmony in race relations is not simply or easily achieved," he said. "No matter how compre· hensive and clear the law is on this subpect, there will always be some to promote tensions and patterns of resistance."

He recalled that many persons used to complain to him that the Supreme Court was moving "too fast" in the area of civil rights.

"These people," he said, "were not racists. They were not unfriendly. They were simply uninfqrmed or unthinking."

The results of the Catholic Charities Appeal are even more heartening than the bare statistics reveal when one considers that this was the hard year, the year when people held onto. their money, the year of critical unemployment in our area, the year when people have been afraid to let go of money.

But the magnificent result is a great tribute to the basic virtue of concern for a brother or sister in need out of pure disinterested charity.

The hearts of people are still touched by the call to help a neighbor and never more so than when such a call is put on the basis of love of God and love of God's people.

It is not a matter of talking money in this ye~r's Appeal, put of talking charity.

Credibility Gap

Sometimes prime examples of a credibility g;ap show up in a most striking way. When the President of the United'States went on television to report the mining of harbors of North Vietnam, he was followed in a matter of minutes by a commentator who flatly declared that this meant that Nixon's' Russian tour would be cancelled. It - was not, of course.

Then a day went by in the U.S.S.R. with no announce- I ment of any agreement on limiting arms, and commentators , promptly indicated that talks along these lines had bogged down and nothing was to be expected. The treaty was signed within two days.

A great deal of unnecessary turmoil is brought about by this kind of speculation. Perhaps it could be forgiven if it were couched in different terms, expressed as one of Prayer of the FaithfiUl for Vocll~ions several possibilities. But too many times are possibilities announced as if they were certainties, and there is tension and a jumping to conclusions until the facts pro:ve other- To be recited at all Masses of obligation onJune 3-4" 1972 wise.

Needs of Youth, Important Topic For Bishops PHILADELPHIA (NC)-"Yo'uth needs to be informed and con· vinced that the Gospel offers effective solutions to the prob· lems of the world - solutions which are not necessarily instan· taneous, but solutions which are long lasting."

This was part of the consensus at the ,recent Inter-American Bishop's Meeting, according to Cardinal John Krol, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops; Cardinal Krol noted that the meeting ata retreat house near Montreal was informal, "held for the purpose of promoting dialogue and to provide an opportunity to share ideas on matters of mutual concern."

"The consensus of views reached," the Cardinal continued, "represented the views of the participating bishops but not necessarily those of thee conferences to which they belong."

Regarding the topic of "The Church and the Political Order," Cardinal Krol said that there was a reaffirmation of the specific mission of the Church.

Gospel Values "While the mission of the Church is the reconciliation and unity of men with God in Christ and the reconciliation of men with each other in Christ," Cardinal Krol said, "there are social and political dimensions and hence, through Christians, the Church strives to eliminate that which is the basis of injustice in society and in the world."

Cardinal Krol said that the attention of ,the bishops also was called to the "unrest and impatience of young people, but also to their wholesome interest in their neighbors and in society."

"The evidence of the seeming disenchantment of many young people in the Church as an institution would indicate that there is an increasing need to emphasize the lasting values which the \ Church teaches," the cardinal said.

"The Church must present itself to youth as a community in Christ which has hope and joy, because it is a community whose sense of life is rooted in Gospel values;" he said.

Leave Consultation On Church Union DENVER (NC) - The United Presbyterian Church in the the U. S. has decided to withdra'v from the Consultation on Church Union, a 12-year effort to ullite nine major Protestant denominations.

The action came in a 411-310 vote at the meeting here of the general assembly of the 3.1 mHlion member church.

The delegates voted to "discontinue participation in the Consultation on Church Union whil~ continuing ecumenical conversations and seeking effer.tive joint ministries."

The remaining members of the consultation are' the United Church of Christ, the SOl;th Pres· byterian Church, th3 Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Epicopal Church, the Christian Methodist Episcopal Churc11, the United Methodist Church and the Disciples- of Christ.

Backs Solidarity Day for Jews WASHINGTON (NC) - The general secretary of the U. S. Catholic 'Conference has endorsed the National Solidarity Day for Soviet Jews as an observance drawing "Christians and Jews into ever closer fellowship."

"Soviet restriction of religious and civil liberties extends not only to Jews but to Christians as well," Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin said.

"The recent petition of 17,000 Lithuanian Catholics, protesting suppression of their religious rights, brings this lesson home to the Catholic community in the United States in a particularly moving and dramatic way," Bishop Bernardin said.

"Truly when government is bent on denying fundamental religious liberties to any' group, none is safe and all must join in protest."

Bishop Bernardin said that religious liberty is "fragile and often threatened" in many parts of the world, but added that Americans are fortunate that "religious liberty is protected in law and~tradition" in the United States.

Solidarity Day is sponsored by the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, a Christian and Jewish group, and includes rallies and meetings in 100 cities.

nity life style, intensification of vows, prayer life and the various apostolates of ,the community. " In attendance at sessions are 14 delegates from .eight provinces, representing more than 2000 Dorotheans. The provinces are in Italy, B.razil, Portugal and Spain, in addition to the U. S. The community also has missions in Africa and Peru.

Presiding is Reverend Mother General Marie De ,Pilo, who served in 1954 as provincial superior of the Taunton house.

During conference recesses, Mother De Piro has been visiting Dorothean houses in the dioceses of Providence and Fall River and. the archdiocese of New York.

While serving in ':Taunton, Mother DePiro also held the offices of secretary and treasuurer to the Conferences of Major Superiors in New England. During World War II she was principal of a Dorothean 'boarding school on the, heavily bombed Mediterranean island of Malta.

She was named vicar general of her community, in' 1961 and superior general in 1965.

Urges Anglicans Use Exorcists

VATICAN CITY (NC)-NQw that Easter has come and gone, Christians rnust give witness to the Resurrection of. Christ, Pope Paul Paul VI told thousands of persons attending a general'audience here. ' Defining "witness" as attesting to a truth, the Pope said that, in .the design of ChrisUanity, giving witness means disseminating the Gospel on which faith can be founded.

Recalling the "birth of Chri~~ tianJty" at the first Pentecost, Pope Paul said that the chosen disciples, stirred up and' over~ joyed at having seen the Risen Lord, fulfilled their mandate to be Apostles, proclaiming the re$urrection "to the ends. of the earth."

After poInting to the factS Of the Church's foundation as cori~ tairied in Scripture, the Pope spoke of "other truths" whiCh lend creckmce to Christianity, namely, Tradition and th~.

Church's ;:eaching authority. " , These are simple but 'sublime truths whiA:h ought to keep all~e in the hearts of the faithful th,e mystery of Easter" the Pope said.

While such talk at this time could be called rushing the season (like that store that features a window full of Christmas trees 'in September) the fact does have to be faced that no new summer stock will' be coming into the stores and that when merchandise does arrive there it's going to be of the fall and winter variety.

These will be worn with long skirts, slacks, and knee length' hemlines. Much fullne,ss will be found in the back of toppers and also in longer length ,coats 'that will have bulk and fulIness to spare. (Th,ese could create prob·lems if one drives a smalI foreign car!) Many of these coats will be found in plaids that will be worn with wide-legged trousers , in a matching plaid or contrasting solid.

No Midis Pants will still be the most important .item ina gal's wardrobe (this is another battle the modern woman has won, another will be 'apparent when she views the hemlines for fall, because there is nary a midi insight other than in the coat area).

This coming season, though, trousers wm be wider, more· feminine, and many will be cuffed.

Dresses will be romantic, soft and feminine, with many' short evening dresses appearing on the scene but the biggest news on the dress front will be another old favorite, the jumper. This will take on the look of the seventies by being teamed with ribbed skinny sweaters for the layered look.

WASHINGTON (NC) - :Kn· nouncement of winners in the NC News SElrvice "Youth Views on the Church" contest was made by Ric,hard M. Guilderson, Jr., director of NC News Service.

The contest, announced last September, coincided with the 1971-72 Know Your Faith school year schedule, which appeared in more than 90 diocesan newspapers.

Throughout the year, /::om· ments from teen-agers and religion teachers on the theme arti"cles in Know Your Faith 'appeared in a regular column written by James Alt, Know Your Faith editor.

Two teen-age winners were selected, and one r~ligion teacher. The winners will 'receive, a free round-trip ticket to Washin~ton or the cash equivalent, ,",' whichever they prefer.

The, two teen-age winners were Mauf(~en D. Foley, 17, ,of Northampton, Mass., and Steve Rundell, 17, of Kansas City, Mo. Both are high school seniQrs. Maureen attends St. Michael's Catholic High School, and Steve attends the Southwest High School COD class. ', , The religion teacher winner was Barton W. DeMerchant,',3a, of Royal O,lk, Mich., Hefeaches at Shrine High School an interparish Catholic school:' , Guildersonsaid the conte~t "was a deliberate attempt not only to 'involve youth directly in the Know Your Faith series, but also to provide youth with an opportunity to make known their feelings on today's Church."

Vetoes Abortion Law Repeal ALBANY (NC)-Gov. Nelson Rockefeller has kept his prpmise and has vetoe<! the New York Legislature's repeal of the state's liberalized abortion law.

"I can see no justification for repealing this reform and thus condemning hundreds of thousands of women to the dark ages once again," the governor s!lid.

Rockefeller's veto came a few days after the state Senate voted 30-27 to repeal the nation's most permissive abortion law and the Assembly voted 79-68 for the repeal.

While the repeal bill was awaiting Gov. Rockefeller's action, Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York tried in vain to urge the governor to sign the bill into law.

Cardinal Cooke urged the governor ,to "recognize the will of the majority of our elected rep'resentatives, just as he recognized the wHi of a bare majority () two years ago."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., JUM1, 1972

PRINCIPALS AT STONEHILL GRAbUATION: Left, congratulations ,are being offered by head of the diocese and the head of the college.

Kathleen Mary Kurowski of New Bedford, highest ranking student in Liberal Arts; Very Rev. Ernest J. Bartell, CSC, Ph.D., Stonehill president; Bishop Cronin; Sandra Ann Habib of Fall River, highest ranking senior

in Science. Right, Among the students from the diocese meeting Bishop Cronin at the Commencement exercises were, William Rose of Dartmouth, Anne Marie Kearney of New Bedford, the Bishop, Linda Smith of Somerset' and William Kavanaugh of So. Dartmouth. This year's class of 330 was the largest since the first commencement was held in 1952.

States Catholic Education Should Ready Graduates for Change Continued from Page One of hopelessness; an alienation -a sort of 'stop the world I want to get off'; a frustrationso much to do and,so little time to do it; or a routelessness - a sense of nothing to peg your life to."

What Is Special "But there are other reactions to your Catholic education," he added, "One is an opening up of your minds-otherwise you were cheated-, some sense of human love and hate, of man's dreams, and of the explosion of science and technology, and, what is special in' Catholic educ~tion, a sense of what you are and where you are going."

"Assuming your education has been competent, you have the ability to obtain and perform a job well," Father Hesburgh said. "I urge your reaction to the poverty and injustice in the' world to be that of compassion, a quality which is not difficult for the young, who are concerned about the right things much ~ore than we were when we were young. This very concern has made the young so upset they have done both a lot of silly things and a lot of very good things.

"You graduates will move around a lot and will see what is happening," he added. "I urge you not to forget the last four years and to keep your concern and compassion. But these are not enough. The final thing you must develop is commitment.

You must be willing to be an agent of change, not just a spectator.

"You can't do everything," he cautioned, "but decide now that wherever you are in the world, you will do something about it.

Never forget what you anguished over as a student. There is no place you can go without finding people who are without human dignity." , "As far as change is concerned," he concluded in his commencement address, "you haven't seen anything yet. But the meaningful things won't change. You have a soul, the capacity to champion justice, to

help, and to love."

Honorary Degrees During the ceremonies Father Hesburgh was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities. Other honorary degrees were awarded to: Patrick Edward McCarthy, Chancellor of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education, Doctor of Humanities; Frances Marie Burlingame of Norton, formerly of the Wheaton College and Stonehill faculty, Doctor of Letters; and Edward Everett Martin, businessman and former political advisor, Doctor of Laws.

Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River presided and delivered the invocation and the final blessin"g.

Newly inaugurated Philip L. Hemingway, Sr. Awards for academic excellence were presented to: Kathleen Mary Kurowski of New Bedford, highest ranking graduate in liberal arts; Sandra Anne Habib of Fall River, highest ranking graduate in science; and Irving Ea'rle Gitlin of Brockton, highest ranking graduate in business' administration.

The first President's Award for outstanding service to the college, the Rev. George E. Benaglia Award, was awarded

by Rev. Ernest Bartell, C.S.C., Stonehill President, to Francis G. Lee, chairman of the Business Department.

Jerusalem Institute At a press conference prior to the commencement exercises" Father Hesburgh explained current progress of the Institute of Advanced' Theological Studies now being constructed in Jerusalem. The Institute, a project which Father Hesburgh has headed at the request of Pope Paul VI, will house 30 prominent theologians from throughout the world for the purpose- of research and study toward the unity of various Christian faiths.

Following the Stonehill commencement, the Notre Dame president flew to Rome where he met with the Pope, and from there, to Jerusalem with one of the major donors to the Institute.

"The Institute really had its

start· in 1965 when Pope Paul asked me to conduct a study as to its feasibility," he said. "After two years of planning we negotiated for land which at that time was part of Jordan. When it become part of Israel, we had to negotiate all over again. For the past year, a pilot program has been carried on, and in September the formal dedication will. take place."

"The whole point is ecumenism'a.nd this unity of the great theological minds of the world will take place in probably the one place in the world it is possible-in Jerusalem," he added.

Other questions members of press asked Father Hesburgh concerned birth control, civil rights, authority in higher education, and involvement of the clergy in politics.

On birth control; he said: "The Church is not opposed to birth control but to certain means.

There is a problem there and it should be solved, but abortion is a simplistic answer. It's like saying that if there's not enough food for people we should cut off their heads! I would prefer to find a whole range of methodologies to control the population growth."

Chairman since 1969 and 15year member of the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights, Father Hesbilrgh feels "that in a sense the civil rights movement is slowing down. People are weary about a lot of things-the war, pOllution, violence, poverty-all linked together," he explained, "and right now it's all being thrown under" the phony issue of busing which is just one of many means but is being emotionalized out of all proportion.

Named Superior NIAGARA (NC)-Father John G. Nugent has been named provincial superior of the Vincentian Fathers' eastern pro~ince ~n the United States. Father Nugent, 50, has served as dean of the graduate school and school of' education at Ni'agara University since 1965. In his new position, he will live at St. Vincent's Seminary, Philadelphia.

It's a means not an end. We in this country shouldn't have inferior schools in the first place."

Concerning autpority, the university president said, "Twenty years ago the president had enormous authority, but since

Criticize Hospitals' Employment Policy BALTIMORE (NC)-The Baltimore Community Relations Commission has charged that "the degree and the level of minor,ity involvement, particula,rly of blacks, in Roman Catholic hospitals is almost exactly what it was in 1965, moderate as to degree, and almost nonexistent as to meaningful level."

A staff member who wrote the report said that there are "many areas of Title Six (of the 1964 Civil Rights Act) that are not being complied with."

According to the commission, the hospital survey was initiated when, ·in 1970, a group of blacks told the CRC of alleged discrim- ' ination in Catholic hospitals. The report said that when a study

by Archdiocesan Urban Commission was not made public, the eRC began its own survey.

then it has c<>me to be shared very widely. Of course it is harder to maneuver, but decisions are more widely accepted. Even sharing leadership, one can still lead. I like it better this way."

Father Hesburgh feels that the reason members of the clergy are becoming involved in politics is because the real problems today are morEJ problems. "War and peace are moral, not just military or ec.onomic concerns," he said. "Civil rights is the deepest moral prohlem in the nation and for this reason a priest like Fither Drinar. has more to say than the traditional politicianbecause he 'i:; aware of these problems as moral.

Permanent Diciconate to Quadruple

·U.s.. to

Nuns Removed From Parishes

Ordain ove,r 300" by February

WASHINGTON" (NC) - The number of permanent deacons in the United States is expected to quadruple following a series of ordinations this summer and next winter.

One hundred men will be ordained deacons this summer, more than doubling the number of permanent deacons in the country. "There are now 72, according to Father William Philbin of the U. S. bishops' committee on the Permanent diaconate.

By next February officials expect the total to rise to over 300. A class of more than 100 me'n now studying for the diaconate in Chicago will account for most of the increase. They are expected to be ordained' next winter.

The biggest group to be ordained this summer comes from the Galveston-Houston diocese.

Bishop John L. Morkovsky will ordain 38 deacons in five ceremonies, including one in Spanish, in the fi,rst week in June. , The Baltimore archdiocese will have 19 deacons ordained in a series of ceremonies through the summer, and the San Antonio archdiocese will have eight ordinations, each in the home parish of the deacon, through the summer.

Ten ordinations were scheduled in the Phoenix diocese, eight in the Des Moines diocese and 'one in the Richmond, Va., diocese in late May and early June.

Seven deacons will be ordained in the Detroit archdiocese between June and August, while the Washington archdiocese will ordain nine men in September.

work while working in various church activities. The total of 72 includes 11 black· men and seven men from Spanish speaking backgrounds.

Father Philbin reported that 40 of the nation's 164 dioceses have permanent deacons or candidates for the diaconate. Another 25 dioceses are prepari~g deacon programs.

Last year the diaconate committee issued a document contflining sections on the diaconate in the black, Spanish-speaking, rural, and college and university communities. The guidelines recommended that bishops seek a dispensation from the present Church law setting 35 as the min"imum age for ordination to the permanent diaconate.

Last April, the bishops voted to ask the Vatican to lower the permanent diaconate age requirement to 30 for mature married' men.

ROME (NC) - Communistcontrolled Czechoslavakia has returned to its Stalinist tactics of 1950 and sent all Catholic nuns working in parishes to remote "concentration points," according to reliable information reaching here.

On April 13, 22 years to the day after Communist agents swooped down on houses of priests and monks throughout thtl country, police completed the forced removal of all nuns from parishes to farms and mental h<>spitals, where they will work out of sight.

Word of the forced transfer of nuns, which began about the beginning of April, arrived in Rome April 11, two days before the removal of nuns from the parishes was completed.

How many nuns were involved in the police roundup is not known here.

During the 1968 thaw in Church-state relations under Communist party chairman Alexander Dubcek's "Communism with a "human face," many nuns quietly returned to parish work from the mental hospitals, farms and homes for the aged where they had been sent by communist officials. For the first time in two decades, Religious congregations of women were allowed to receive novices.

Now that has been reversed.

All Catholic nuns have been sent out of sight, and government officials have ordered the congregations to send away all nuns who were received as novices in 1968 and 1969.

E~(perimeiltation'

It's a bad time for traditional institutions, and despite t1:\e continuing popularity of marriage, there are some who solemnly proclaim that marriage has "had it." Communal living, short·term. contracts, and :living together are suggested as some of the alternatives to the- family. Add to this the "God is dead" phenomenon, or "the Church really shouldn't be involved in marriage," and the logical conClusion is that young people have rejected the heritage of the past.

strictly speaking, a or detective story.

SC"OOL

•

And science fiction deals with more or less remote possibilities, whereas Dr. Crichton is writing about something immediately possible. His subject is control of the human brain by implanted mechanisms.

In this narrative, the brain is that of Harry Benson, 34, a brilliant computer expert. He is also an epileptic who, as the result of seizures, commits acts of violence and has been in trouble with the police.

At a university hospital, a neuropsychiatric research unit has devised a method of dealing with just such a problem. With th,e patient's consent, an elaborate operation will be performed. This will implant 40 electrodes in the brain,' a tiny computer in the neck, and a radioactive charger in the chest cavity. The equipment, correctly functioning, will stop the seizures as soon a3 they impend.

Operation Described

,But the question is not the perfect plausibility of.this novel's plotting. Rather, it is the, wisdom of such radical tinkering with human beings as is nere ,exemplified.

In an Author's Introduction, Dr. Crichton quotes James V. McConneli, of the University of Michigan, who some years ago said, "Look, we can do these things. We can control behavior.

Now, who's going to decide what's to be done. If you don't get busy and tell me how I'm supposed to do it, I'll make up my own mind for you. And then it's too late."

Is it already too late for reconsideration? Has research gone so far, and are techniques so adyanced that there is no questioning procedures now perfected and ready to uS,e? This novel, besides being an absorbing story, will spur any thoughtful reader to face the probability that the authentically human can be, ,in effect, destroyed by supposedly beneficent mechanisms.

One member of the research Optimist's Daug~ter unit is opposed to the performing of this operation on Benson. The Worlds, even centuries, away dissident is Dr. Janet Ross, .a' from Dr. Crichton's scene is that psychiatrist. Her objection' .is of Eudora Welty, as shown once that, since Benson is a psychotic, again in her new novel, The the device will not cope with 'Optimist's Daughter (Random House, 457 Madison Ave., New his delusions.

The judge dies. The scene shifts to the small town in Mississippi where he has spent most of his life, and where his funeral will take place. There a confrontation, or a number of confrontations, takes place.

The cultivated, somewhat dessicated, friends of many years are faced with Fay's raw, rambunctious relatives, who pile in for the occasion. Laurel and Fay clash. ,And Laurel, alone in the, old house for a couple of days, comes to grips with her own past, especially her .relationships with father and mother and their relationship with each other.

As always, Miss Welty writes superbly. This isa fairly short piece, without a superfluous word,and marvelou's in its exploration of the mysterious human heart. It is of-ten so funny that the reader wil:l laugh aloud; but more often it is so authentically poignant that the reader feels a t'o\!inge of pain.

PRIEST FASTS IN PROTEST OVER UN "INACTION" ON 3rd WORLD: Father Jose Ulburgs, a Belgian priest is interviewed as he begins his hunger strike in front of a building where the UNCTAD meeting is being held. Father Ulburgs said he is protesting the "fact that rich countries use The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development to defend their own selfish interests, not to seek fairer relations with developing countries."

Marriage' is Alive and Well Continued from Page Sixteen riage. Just as "by her relationship to Christ, the Church is a kind of sacrament or sign of intimate union with God and of the unity of all mankind," so also, marriage proclaims the unity of the :;pouses to one another and to .God. Christian spouses, by reason of the marriage covenant, signify and partake of that unity and love that exists between Christ and the Church. Indeed, God made man "male and female," and established the marital community as a lasting witness to the love relationship that he holds with His people. Again, as God made .himself present to mankind through his covenant of love and fidelity in the Old Testament, so now Christ the Lord comes into the lives of married Christians through the sacrament of matrimony.

The marriage of Christians also has a prophetic quality. In the ordinary circumstances of their daily lives, God's people give living testimony by their, actions to the presence of Christ in the world. It is in the Christian family ,that "husband and wife find their proper vocation in being witness to one another and to their children of faith in Christ and love for him. The Christian family loudly proclaims the present virtues of the kingdom of God ·and the hope of a blessed life to come."

Just as marriage is a sign of unity between husband and wife, it is also a sign of the union between Christ and the Church.

The 'pre-eminent expression of the ul!ity of Christ and his people is the celebration e)f the ' Eucharist in which, as St. Paul explains, "Because the bread is one, we, though many, are one bodY,all of us who partake of the one bread." Marriage and the Eucharist have this in commoil then, that each in a special way proclaims a unity between Christ and his people.

Special Gifts The Council also tells us that Christian spouses, by virtue of the marriage sacrament, are singled out as recipients of special gifts of the Holy Spirit.

These gifts, usuaHy quite ordinary, are given to various members of God's people to make them fit and ready to play their

part in the renewal of the Church. Our understanding of charisms is only in the initial stage, of development, but it certainly indicates the absolute necessity of consulting the experience of married Christians in all that has to do with family life.

On a more practical level, Vatican II pointed to the value and strength of conjugal love.

This love, eminently human in its origin, is capable of transcending the natural and is caught up into 'divine love in such a way that it is governed a1J.d enriched

by Christ's redeeming power and the saving activity of the Church.

At each step along ,the way we are continuously struck by the implications of marriage as sacrament-proclaiming at the same time the earthly reality of man's noblest aspirations and the mystery of God's ·love relationship with man.

In attempting to understand where marriage fits into God's overall plan for mankind, the Church needs the wisdom and insights of married couples. The scholars can research the knowledge ·of the past, but that infor" mation is refined in' the experience of marriage and family life.

All things considered, the Church may well proclaim her belief through the lives of married Christians.

Father Peyton, Sees Renewal Of Devotiorl t,o Blessied· Virgin ALBANY (NC) - Devotion to the Blessed VJrgm is reappearing "after a long eclipse," says Father Patrick Peyton. and the famed. priest is working hard to hasten the renewal of Marian devotions.

'-Father Peyton, director of the Family Rosary Crusade and the Crusade for Family Prayer, told the Evangelist, 'diocesan paper here, that he sees devotion to the Mother of Jesus "coming back like never before. And I am not just whistling.in the dark."

The Holy Crl)ss pr.iest com-

pared the present situation to an eclipse. "During the' eclipse things are darkest, but when the. sun returns. it is brighter. than' ever by contrast."

The globe-trotting priest. who just returned from a month-long, . world-wide trip, said "the signs are evident all over the world that devotion to Mary is coming back. Seminarians are returning to being men of gTeat prayer; people are realizing that. Mary is not luxury but a necessity in our . growth."

Father Peyton plans in the
