Continued from Page One Current lack of interest in canon law is ascribed to the sup'posed disuse of present code of canon law together with the lack of a new code under preparation, and also to an imperfect and sometimes false interpretation of the Second Vatican Council. The decree replies in detail to both these reasons. It states forcefully: "The Code of Canon Law is not abrogated." Guarantees Liberty It observes that it is impossible to interpret pronouncements subsequent to the Se<:ond Vatican Council without a certain skill in canonical language and procedure. More func,lamentally, says the decree, "f'reedom and authority are not terms of opposition," but of complementary values: It is the law that supports structures that guarantee freedom, the decree asserts: "Only a social system that is well ordered can guarantee liberty ade.quately." It asks: "As a matter of fact what would freedom be worth to an individual if it were not protected by wise and suitable norms?" . The decree stresses the pastOMI function of canon law. Future priests must he so instructed 'in canon law that they are made to reaJ.ize that the law serves "the needs of pastoral . life."

Vatican Council Continued from Page One In urging renewed attention to fostering vocations, the Pope asserted: "It is necessary that a bishop be personally interested in his own seminarians and priests so that they may find in him a real father, counselor, friend, guide, supporter and helper," The Pope then turned to the "serious obligation to give apostolic formation to the laity," He told the bishops, gathered in the Vatican for the 12th assembly of the Italian Bishops' Conference: "We view with great consolation and w,ith most joyful hope the developing phenomenon of catechists, which in certain cases is surprising. This is a very good thing which should he encouraged with great wisdom because .it shows the always vital and generous energy of the Church's strong youth," The main topic of the bishops' meeting was discussion of a draft document on evangelization and the sacrament of matrimony.

Sense of History

....\

The news weekly, U.S. News & World Report, issued some enlightening figures a short while ago. Speaking about the lessons of history, it pointed out that if one assumes that a person must be 10 years old for events to make an impact, then only nine per cent of the present United States .. population remembers World War I, seventeen per cent recall Lindbergh's solo Atlantic flight, less than thirty per cent remember the Depression of the 1930s, just over onethird can personally identify with World War II, and only six in ten persons actually remember President Kennedy's assassination. This is, then, a new age. , It is also a mobile age with people very much on the go. All this has an impact on people and their approaches to life and their sense of values. Many people do not have this sense of history, the sense of roots, the sense of tradition, and so, the sense of belonging. They too often, see themselves as alone surrounded by the complexities of modern life and in the center of a whirlwind that is battering them around. Those who have a sense of history, on the other hand, see themselves living in crises that are not unique because ~risis 'has always been part and parcel of the human condition. Margaret Mead, the anthropologist, has said that this age is the poorer because it lacks grandmot4ers who act like grandmothers. She points out that when there is a grandmother around she communicates to all members of the family the sense of time, of continuity, of another generation that met its crises and challenges and managed to survive and so this assurance is communicated all down the line. Those who have a sense of history learn from the past. And the old expression still has validity. Those who do ' not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. . That is why people of this age are looking for values. They are searching, some without knowing it, for stability, for something that has validity amid the changes of advancing technology. They are looking for standards by which to live their lives, standards that will not change. Otherwise they are those waterless clouds which Scripture talks about, blown about, by whatever winds prevail at the moment. And this is not living one's life as a human being or as a child of God but being manipulated by the people 路and circumstances of this time and place.

Welcome, Pele The sports world in general and that of soccer in particular has been enlivened by the signing of a multimillion dollar contract with the New York Cosmos on the part of Pele, the thirty-four year old Braziiian who is without doubt the greatest player soccer has ever had and, perhaps, the world's greatest athlete. Indeed, several years ago medical experts examined him for weeks in a laboratory and concluded that "Whatever this man might have decided to do in any physical or mental endeavor, he would have been a genius." Pele himself considers his remarkable gifts as "God's divine gifts." And he has worked on them by studying geometry and chess so that even as he plays soccer he is many moves ahead of what his opponents will do. And yet this devout man who never finished' fourth grade is conscious that God is with him and is conscious that in all he does he must give good example to others. It is a classic case of a person's acceptance of what he has from God, using it to the full, and being always acutely aware that he is accountable to God for the use of his talents.

Pope Stresses Moral Aspect Of World Problems to Ford VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI told President Ford that his visit to the' Vatican emphasizes the importance that he "attributes to the moral aspects of the problems" he had been discussing with European leaders on his trip. The Pope said that he is aware of the "problems of balance and imbalance" of powers between nations and their blocs. But, he warned, "a peaceful and humane international order" must not be based on power but "upon the criterion of justice, unon respect and understanding of the rights and needs of others, and upon the spirit, of generous coopera-

Seven to Mark Silver Jubilees Seven priests of the Holy Cross Fathers, Eastern Province, will celebrate their 25th anniversary of ordination at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 14 at a concelebrated Mass at Holy Cross Center, Stonehill College, North Easton. Principal celebrant at the Mass will be Rev. Thomas O. Barrosse, C.S.C., Superior General of the Congregation, who himself Js celebrating 25 years' of priesthood. Homilist for the special celebration will be Rev. Richard H. Sullivan, former Provincial and President of Stonehill. Father Sullivan is currently a member of the retreat team at the Holy Cross Fathers Retreat House on the campus of Stonehill. The Mass will culminate a week of activities which began Sunday with a retreat and included an ordination on Tuesday. Chapter review sessions were held today and will continue tomorrow. The jubilarians include Rev. John T. Corr, immediate past president of Stonehill College, Rev. Albert A. Croce, Rev. James J. Doyle, Rev. William F. Gart-land, Rev. Marc J. Hebert, Rev.

tion of the ,strongest with the weakest, for their mutual advantage." President Ford was quoted as say.ing that his visit to Pope Paul gives him inspiration and that the two had "a most beneficial discussion of many problems in wh路ioh we can work together for the progress of peace." The President said that military policies can be developed "that are best aimed at maintaining peace." He said that the United States can continue its efforts at both food-giving and food-producing to those less fortunate. "Be sure tha:t, as I have told you, the United States will do all possible to promote progress, emphasis on and dedication to peace." But, the President told the Pope, "your spiritual and inspirational help is what we need to do a better ,i0b." The Pope, who spoke in English, had told Ford tho'lt he knew that the President had been involved in discussions of military import with European and world leaders and that those "difficult problems . . . at least from the declared points Qf view of defense, cannot be ignored by those responsible for public life."

Pope Paul, however, said that the President knew that from him he "would hear only exhortations and words of peace and of sincere and generous collaboration for advantages of all, "This is our mission. It constrains us to strive to ensure that people never forget the primacy of spiritual and moral values, wbich direct social living no 'less -indeed more-than economic and m.ilitary interests and preoccupations." Ford was told that the Pope is '~glad to be able to give the su,port of our counsel and our humble collaboration to the solving of the knots that mean so much suffering and peril for peoples."

Sister Adele Thomas, R.S.M. and Miss Mary Santerre, daugter of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Santerre of 1326 Gardner Neck Road, Swansea, will visit Can-' , ada for two weeks this summer, as guests of the Canadian government. The faculty member and student at Bishop Gerrard High School, Fall River, were notif,ied last month tha路t the school was one of 15 in the United States chosen to send one adult moderator and one student to Canada. Sister Mary' Adele is chairman of the Gerra'rd foreign language department, and Miss Santerre is a F~ench student 'and member of the 'school French Club. Community Activities , In September, Bishop Gerrard Hi~h School was one of 200 schools to receive an 'award of 100 Canadian books, given with the understanding that the school would hold assemblies or produce some kind of project involving both school and communaty. In December the school sponsored a Canadian Cafe for students and faculty and in March a Canadian Fair open to the public. The Fair, presented through the joint efforts of .:the studen~ts of the French L'anguage and the French Club, featured 12 booths representing the 12 provinces of Canada. Local costumes, festiva-ls, music, food, and present-day dignitaries of Canada were highlighted. Individual projects, arranged by the French III students and based on the books presented to the school, ranged from hockey to owls. The school's folk gJ:oup, under the d1rection of Mr. George Campeau, sang the Canadian Ant>hem and other French songs. Movies depicting scenes of life in Canada were shown every half hour in the auditbdum.

A cassette tape, scrap book, and other material pertaining to the Foa,ir and Cafe formed Gerrard's winning entry submitted to the Canadian Consulate in Boston.

Labor Law Continued from })age One with contracts to allow full access by the unions to the farm workers to acquaint them with the benefits of the union movement and participation in it. "We urge the growers and teamsters to suspend at once all contract negotiations and contract signing until the act becomes effective and .the workers have had the opportunity to express their wishes through secret ballot elections. "If the above can be implemented, we see no reason at all for economic and other pressures against growers and producers, and would, in good conscience, urge the UFWA and Teamsters to suspend at once, boycotts, strikes, slow-downs, and other activities, until the terms of the new legislation become effective. "Only the parties to a dispute have the ability to demon- ' state that the good faith which has brought them to this stage of agreement runs wide and deep in their attitudes, trust,and determination to have peace now:"

Today My initial reaction was that it was unjust. They've handled enough problems. And they're such good people. . . . But thinking deeper about the many years. I've known them, while they endured great trials, they also found great joys in their lives because they worked at finding them, day to day, in spite of their problems. This separation, and her illness now, would be a greater tragedy had they never enjoyed each other . . . had they always put off happiness, waiting for a dream. I know they'll survive this. They'll keen. their goals in mind, but they'll keep sight of the daily blessings. It's good to look ahead. It's good to plan. It's good to dream. But we must live in the present moment, and find the joys right here. If we miss them, they may never come again. And the longterm dream may continue to slip just beyond our grasp. . No matter what difficulties we face, no matter how we are struggling, the good is there ... if we make the effort to find it. Often people-who have finally achieved their dream comment that they were much happier in the days they were struggling. Maybe it was the spirit that came from pulling together. Or the disappointment that they never learned to see joy, and couldn't-when they reached their goal. Some day, my friends will will reach their dream, and they'll be deeply happy . . . not because they achieve their goal, but because they learned to find .joy all along the way. We can learn from them.

Protest Canadian Anti-Abortion Law . LA SALLE (NC)-"If we sit back and do nothing about abortion, we're no better than the so-called good Germans who sat back while Hitler sent Jews to the gas chambers," said a man who had just served five days in jaH for refusing to cooperate with a tax system that funds abortion. He 'expects to be sent to jail again for a longer term. The maximum sentence is 10 years. ' The man, Joe P. Borowski, a former member of the Manitoba provincial parliament, had pleaded guilty to the cha'rge of failing to file a 1973 income tax return. The judge had given him the minimum $50 fine with the alternative of a five-day sentence. Borowski told the court that he would serve the -term and go to jail as often as necessary to change a law that had "45,000 Canadian babies murdered in cold blood last year." Borowski told NC News in a telephone interview that he had not filed returns for 1972, 1973, or 1974. He recalled that in a 1973 speech in the provincial parliament he 'had said he would not file "until the government stopped using funds to subsidize abortion."

Share Possessions, Spaniards Advised VALENCIA (NC)-In joining the nationwide appeal for Catholic Charities, Archbishop Jose Maria Garcia of' Valencia said Christians must implement the Churoh's teaching that private property has a social function. "There is the obligation of those who possess to share with those who do not," he declared. "This is particularly true at times of economic crisis, when sPending on luxury items be,comes an evasion of Christian charity;" he said. This year's collection theme is the question: "What is yours, is it yours?"

Noting that Revenue Canada, the Canadian government's tax collection department, had stated that charges would continue to be filed against him, Borowski said 'he expect~ that the next time the sentence will be a month, or possibly up to one year. The

Pope Paul Encourages European Cooperation VATICAN CITY ~C)-Pope Paul VI, receiving members of the European Economic Community's Court of Justice in Private audience June 5, told them of his hopes for the progress. of European collaboration. "Certainly the implementation of community treaties among the nine member states will always be difficult," the Pope observed. "Yet who would doubt today 'that there is a common good to ,promote in this part of Europe, which yesterday was split and divided? This concerns the peace and social progress of 250 milHon citizens who are called to take part in more and more interchanges. " The Pope added: "And we dare to hope that this Europe has also a witness to understanding to give the world, a weighty contribution to make to international peace and the development of all."

maximum sentence provided for under the law is 10 years, he said. Expressing his_wilLingness to face the maximum sentence, Borowski said, "When you look back in 'history, Christians suffered worse persecutions when not so much was at stake, when .it was not a question of human lives being taken." He added: "It's easy to say, 'why doesn't someone else do it?' " Tohe 42-year-old Borowski, who is married and has three daughters, said, "I don't think any wife or children look forward to seeing a father go to jail." But he discounted the effect on his family of a longer jail sentence. ' '~In World War II, Canada sent troops half-way around the world to fight for someone else's freedom. One hundred thousand of them died. Their widows and mothers felt the loss. But it was a price they felt was worth paying."

He added: "The jails in Canada are pretty darn good. They're not in Gulag Archipelago condition." (Gulag Archipelpelago is the name given by Nobel-prize-winning novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn to the Soviet prison system.)

Archbishop Says Health Care Is No Luxury

Wh·o, ReaUy Lov,e Gard!ens By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

Since we joined the New England Iris Association we have been treated to a number of interesting visits to Massachusetts gardens. One of these we made to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Smith of New Bedford recently, and we were quite taken with their garden. Mr. Smith is ers we didn't like and the Smiths an iris .expert and Mrs. are no exception. In the Kitchen SmIth, although interested in While most of my gardening iris, has 'a section of the garden given over to perennials and annuals of her own choosing. The garden is a small one on what would be described as a typical city house lot, yet every bit of it is used to advantage. Mr. Smith's expertise wa!> evident in the lovely and breathtaking display of iris in bloom. Melissa was so impressed she is making plans to expand her own garden to include many of the varieties we saw that day, which !>he plans to purchase with her grais cutting money. Blaze

Color

We were also struck by the beauty of the perennial garden. To begin with, .the Smiths have lovely clematis, grown to advantage on two fences which border the property. The clematis ,in different large flowering varieties and colors were absolutely ~tunning and worth the visit in themselves. In 'addition, we found some of the mo!>t beautiful specimens of poppies we have ever seen, including a fringed orange specimen which we feel is unique. One poppy plant, sa,id Mr. Smith, was planted the day after the 1938 hurricane and is still blooming profusely! We were also taken with the larger horned columbine in a variety of colors which Mrs. Smith had started from seed and which added a great deal of charm to <the garden. Words cannot begin to de!>cribe the blaze of color in the garden and the overall effect of the combination of plants and varieties with which the eye was dazzled. It is a delight to visit any garden, but it is an event to vi9it one as well planned as this one. An added bonus was the pleasure of meeting people who truly love their garden and take pride in what they have accompli!;hed. We have often said that we have not met ma':1Y garden-

is done by cutting and arranging, I truly enjoy the flowers that Joe and his father grow and I was quite delighted when Joe's Iris Ass'ociation announced its annual garden tour. Yesterday we toured three gaqlen!; in the Quincy and Milton' area, complete with box lunches; Jason and a bevy of the grandest people imaginable. While the gardens were certainly lovely and the iris more beautiful than in the booklets, -the charm of the day, to me, was in the people who not only opened their gardens but also their homes to the members of the society. Early morning coffee and caJ{e was served as we gazed out on the Johnson ga;rden and dessert and beverages served when we opened our box lunches in ,the shade of greenery at the final viSoiting spot. As both Joe and I have often mentioned, people who love flowers also tend to be people who have warmth and feeling for their fenow man. A perfect example of this ,is our dear friend Tony Goulet, president of the Iris Association. If you want to spend a delightful interlude, then watch your newspapers or flower magazines for tours of gardens in your a'rea and be prepared for a day fmoo with beauty of sight and being. As we ,toured the gardens we were 'treated to one of the most delightful coffee cakes that I have ever tasted. vilis was at the home of Mrs. Johnson and it had been baked by her daughter, Ms. Marion Johnson, who had just returned from an assignment at the Evangelical Covenant Mission in Zaire, Af1''ka.

SISTER VIRGINIA AWARD: The Sister Virginia Quinlan Award, newly instituted at Bishop Feehan High School, Attleboro, honors both the school's outstanding female student athlete and the veteran educator whose name it bears. Sister Virginia has spent her entire religious life working in the Fall River diocese, at St. Joseph's School, Fall River, for 23 years at Holy Family High School, New Bedford, and for 14 years at Feehan, where she operates the bookstore and media center and tutors students in mathematics. The award's first recipient was Carol Sedlak, an honor student, m~jorette and track star.

SAN FRANCISCO (NC) "Health care ,is no longer a luxury, it is a right," Arehbishop Jean Jadot, Apostolic Delegate in the United States, told the fourth annual Catholic Health Assembly here. The archbishop said health care is a right that must be supported, "not just by governments but by all institutions that contribute to the social well-being of man." "It will not be enough in this area to give lip service to our ideal," the apostolic delegate said, "or to provide ,token programs to meet human needs; we will be judged by the God of justice both for our effort and its results. "At the present moment, I cannot help thinking of the millions of unemployed who already find themselves, or very soon will find themselves, without ref,ources for health care for themselves and their families; This is a problem that will not soon go away, and. it must receive the prompt attention of those committeed to health care delivery.

First Pilgrimage VATICAN CITY (NC)-The Vatican daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, reporting that a pilgrimage of 150 Catholics from communist East Germany will come to Rome for the 1975 Holy Year, described it as "the first event of the kind since the German Democratic Republic wa!; created."

Church Tolerated In ~or.h Vlefnam WASHINGTON (NC) - North Vietnam is "a society which has solved the main problems of development," a Belgian priestsociologist who has visited that country said here. North Vietnam's society is one in which "no one suffers from hunger, no one is jobless and where hea'1th is the right of everyone, not just a privilege for those who can pay for it," said Father Francois Hou,tart, director of the Center for SocioReligious Research at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium, and a professor of sociology at that university. The priest, who visited North Vietnam for three weeks and traveled extensively there a year ago, said also ,that there is "no doubt" about religious freedom

in the country. Churches in rural areas, as well as in the cities, are open, he said. "The regime in North Vietnam has been very tolerant in comparison with others, partieularly China," Father Houtart said. He attributed that tolerance to the personality of Ho Chi Minh, the first president of the Vietnam and head of the Communist 'party there, who died in 1969. The Church in North Vietnam has no property, except for the smaH plots of land needed to provide food for the parish priests in rural areas, Father Houtart said.

writes off the Irish as completely nonsensuous, they should read Bryan Merryman's "The Midnight Court." Maybe there is some kind of religious kinship between these three yo~nger moviemakers and such Europeans as Rohmer, BunueI, and Fellini. I used to say that American Catholicism couldn't produce a religious movie like "My Night at Maud's" or "Nazarin" or "Belle du Jour"; but that was before I saw "Mean Streets." Catholicity Important

and start over with a clean slate. Even the word "Catholic," used in anyt)Jing but a context of guilt, seems to be offensive. Then along C(l""':S Pauline Kael, the movie critic, who won· ders why the best of the younger moviemakers are Catholic. Altman, Coppola, Scorese, and (she might have mentioned) Cassavetes all have Catholic backgrounds-as, for that did matter. does Peckinpah - and even Hitchcock of an older generation. Perhaps, suggests Ms. Kacl, the "sensuousness" and the "warmth" of the Catholic liturgical tradition, and the feel for "community" and even "neighborhood" is responsible for the success of these gentle. men. Maybe there is something in their tradition that enables them to see the world through different eyes than Protestants or Jews. Think about that one for a while! My colleague, Professor William McCready, observed wryly to me that not so long ago the eastern intellectual establishment was writing off Catholics as narrow, rigid, puritanical. Now, suddenly, we're warm, sensuous, communal. "I guess they discovered there are other Catholics besides the Irish," he commented. "Namely, the Italians. Wait till they discover the Spaniards."

Religious Kinship I don't think much of Coppola's work, but I certainly must concede it an extraordinarily powerful visual imagery. The street feast in the immigrant neighborhood in "Godfather II," for example, was dazzling. I didn't see "California Split," and I haven't altogether made up my mind whether I'm going to risk "Nashville," So I can't comment on Altman; but Scorese's "Mean Str~ts·" was one of the most dazzlingly brilliant movies I have ever seen. It may be the best thing done ll'bout a neighborhood since Jimmy Farrel'l's "Studs Lanigan." Maybe Ms. Kael is right: perhaps the street feast scenes couldn't have been made by a

"Godfather," ineptly, anti "Mean Streets," brilliantly, speak about and out of the ItalianAmerican Catholic experience. Pauline Kael has put her finger on a fascinating and perhaps critical American cultural development: the rise of ItalianAmerican Catholic artists who create out of the raw materials of their heritage and their experience.

Urges Texas Legislature Enact Farm Labor Bill

By the time this column appears, the California Legislature will have enacted Gov. Edmund (Jerry) Brown's Farm Labor Bill into law. The papers referred to it as a "compromise" bill, and so it is in the sense that each of the parties had to settle for certain provisions and/or end and blindly refuse to learn from California's experience, they amendments not complete- can expect to pay a heavy price ly to its liking. It is not a for their intransigence. "compromise" bill, however, in the sense of' being a weak or wishy-washy statute. All things considered, it is an excellent bill

Iy MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS and one that might well serve as a model for parallel legislation in other agricultural states and as well as at the Congressional level. The need for such legislation at both the state and federal levels was dramatized with a vengeance in Texas just a few days before Gov. Brown signed the California bill. On May 26, Mr. C. L. Miller, a Rio Grande Valley farmer armed with an automatic shotgun, wounded 10 United Farm Workers (UFW) supporters, who were picketing his ranch and urging his workers (mostly Mexican nationals) to leave the fields. Mr. Miller made no excuse or apologies for shooting them at close range. To the contrary, he openly bragged about it and claimed that the local police told him he was within .. his rights. Badly Mistaken If they actually told him that

(and, with all due deference to the Lone Star State, I am prepared to believe they did) they should be sent to jail along with Mr. Miller and kept in confinement until they can demonstrate that they understand the meaning of the First Amendment with all its implications in the field of labor-management relations, and are prepared to live up to its requi'rements. Mr. Miller's violent attempt to thwart UFW's organizing campaign in the Rio Grande Valley (where the wages and working conditions of migrant farm workers are much worse than in California) has already boomeranged. If he thought that by taking the law into his own hands he was going to drive UFW's organizers out of the Valley and stop the union in its tracks, he was badly mistaken. His aggravated assault on 10 supporters has already had the effect of speeding up rather than slowing down the organization . of farm workers in South Texas. If Texas growers and legislators know what is good for their industry and State, they will push immediately for enactment of a farm labor bill patterned after the California statute with the .indispensable help of the California bishops, among others. On the other hand, if Texas growers and their friends in the Texas Leoislature decide to fight it out

with thet1FW 1,tntil tfte'mtter

Needless Strife Eventually, moreover, after months and possibly years of needless strife and confusionthey will have to settle with the union anyhow. Why not now'! Why not follow California's example by enacting, at the earliest possible date, a Texas Farm labor statute which will provide for .secret ballot elections and protect the legitimate interests of workers and growers alike? The enactment-whether in California, Texas or the federal level-will not automatically resolve every issue involved in the farm labor problem. But it will provide the parties with a set of enforceal->le procedures through which they can bee:in to settle differences in an orderly manner. This will call for great maturity on the parts of both the union' and the growers. The growers, who have had things pretty much their own way, will have to get used to dealing with the union on a permanent basis as the elected representative of their workers. They will also have to make up for generations of lost time' by adding to their staff professional experts who have a modern approach to labor-management relations. The union and its supporters will also have to switch gears, psychologically speaking, and settle down to the tedious and unromantic business of making collectve baf/:!aining work effectively on the' day-to-day basis in good times and bad. Al!ain, it will not be easy for them to make this traumatic ad.iustment. Fr. Andrew Greeley tells us why in his latest book, "Ethnicity in the United States." Writing ahout social movements in general and not specifically about the farm labor movement, Fr. Greeley says that "Admirers of social movements often lament the fact that they eventually become 'institutionalized,' There is something raw and primal about a social movement in its early stages. Spontaneity, outrage, vigor, courage, and high principled refusal to compromise are heightened by a sense of beleaguered community. As time goes on and the movement becomes orp.anized and structured, the problems of administration, coalition formation, and inevitable compromise seem to deprive it of its admirable primitive energy. Answer Is Obvious "But socal movements," Father Greeley reminds us, "do not come into being to provide community or entertainment but to impel social changes. Institutionalization may eventually inhibit creativity within a movement. The late Gustave Weigel remarked that all human enterprises given suffkient time go badly, but is Bobby Seale less admirable when he runs a responsible campaign to be mayor of OaklaJid than he was when he

Religious Harmony Very Valuable Export ST. LOUIS (NC)-The ability of differing religious groups in the United States to live and work in harmony "may well be the most valuable 'export' we have to share with other nations, peoples and non-Western religious communities," a Jewish official said here. The official, Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, national director of interrel<igious affairs of the Amertotel a rifle in the California State Legislature? Which tactic is likely to have more effect on the society and is more likely to improve the condition of Seale's constituency?" For present purposes, let's change Bobby Seale's name to Cesar Chavez and paraphrase Fr. Greeley's questions: is Cesar Chavez less admirable when he does the unsensational and grub~ by work of negotiating and administering collective bargaining contracts than when he was leading a UFW pilgrimage to the State capitol in Sacramento or walking on the picket line? Which tactic is likely to have more effect on society and is more likely to improve the condition of Chavez' membership? These are rhetorical questions. The answer to both is obviousat least to Fr. Greeley and myself. Whether it will be equally obvious to all of UFW's more committed supporters remains to be seen. I think--or at least I hore-it will be, but only time will tell.

ican Jewish Committee (AJC), charp.e1 that "centuries of wrong or bad teaching, characterized by stereotypes and caricatures," were responsible for many of the political antagonisms that have torn nations and peoples apart in various parts of the world. Rabbi Tanenbaum spoke at the opening for a three-day conference on "Faith Without Prejudice: Religion and the Teaching of Human Relations," The conference, sponsored by the AJC in cooperation with Jesuit-run St. Louis University, was a cO'ltinuation of a series of studies by Protestants, Catholics and Jews of their own teaching materials in terms of how the texts portrayed people of other religions. On the basis of the findings of the texbook studies, begun in the 1930s, many texts have already been revised to eliminate obviously hostile references to other faiths, but investigators expect to find and eliminate some still remaining prejudiced references. Rabbi Tanenbaum said: "A great deal of real progress has been made during the past decade' in removing the roots of anti-Semitism, anti-Christianity, and racial predudice in our respective teaching systemsmore progress, in fact, than had been made during the 1,900 years that preceded this period. "But as long as a single hostile. or pejorative teaching remains in any of our textbooks or in the minds or the behavior of any of our teachers or parents or children, that negativism or rejection

of others remains as fundamental contradicion to the highest professions of our individual faiths, and we are morally obligated not to rest until we are totally free and clean of any prejudices whatsoever." Discussing the role of religious attitudes in "feeding conflict," Rabbi Tane.,baum said: "Looking at the world picture, one begins to see clearly the degree to which religious attitudes-unreformed, unrevised, uncriticized attitudes -have led groups to look upon eac-h other in stereotyped ways which have had fateful consequenc-es for the life of the people. Claims of religious absolution, exclusive claims to truth are factors workinR themselves out in ethnic political conflict which leads to the destruction of masses of human lives," The beginning of the development of a pedagogy "which enables us to be faithful to the doctrines, creeds and traditions of our commitments and at the same time to be open to the claims of truth and values of another tradtion, represents the very bedrock of pluralism in society," Rabbi Tanenbaum said.

Bradlee Book Diminishes Kennedy Stature, Integrity Benjamin C. Bradlee, executive editor of the Washington Post, has published a very peculiar book entitled Conversations with Kennedy (Norton, 55 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. 10003. 251 pages. Illustrated. $7.95). He had special access to President Bradlee also supplies evidence John F. Kennedy, and evof Kennedy's handling of the idently regarded himself as Vietnam problem. The President a friend of Kennedy's. But is here quoted as saying, "The his book is hardly a testament of friendship. There seems to have been genuine personal closeness between

RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S.

KENNEDY

the Kennedy couple and the Bradlee couple. They met frequently, alone and in informal circumstances. The Bradlees were often invited to the White House to be the only dinner guests of the President and his wife. Kennedy agreed to be godfatber to one of the Bradlee children. Bradlee had been ona special ,footing with Kennedy since 1958. But beginning in January 1962 he compiled a written record of his conversations with Kennedy. Soon after any meeting, he dictated . into a maohine whatever he could remember from the talk during that session. There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of an'lthing which he has put into this book. But is it always what a friend would make public concerning a friend? Kennedy's talk, as report'cd by Bradlee, was strewn with vulgartty, obscenity, and profanity.. Peo....le were shocked, even horrified, by some of the language on the Nixon tapes. They simply did not expect this sort of thing of President or in the White House precincts. But one who has read both the Nixon transcripts and this book, will find tha,t the former included hardly anything in the way of objectionable -language which is not included in the letters. When James Patton, president of Republic Steel, complained to the President that steel executives' phones were being tapped by the government and their income tax returns were being given a special scrutiny, Kennedy denied the charge. But he later told Bradlee, "Of course, Patton was right." Here again is something which, in the case of a later administration, was regarded as outrageous. Nixon took a stand against abortion, and for this he was ridiculed as an opportunist, acting not out of conviction but for the sake of political gain. Maybe so. But when Bradlee asked Kennedy "about the Catholic precept against taking a life, including aborotions . . . he said that he saw no conflict. He said he was all for people solving tlt,f#r prqblemsby abQItion,'~·,

trouble is, we are v.iolating the Geneva agreement. Not as much as the North Vietnamese are, but we're violating it. Whatever we have to do, we have to do it in some kind of secrecy." Bradlee certainly is not out to blacken Kennedy's name, but what he reveals will not enhance Kennedy's reputation. To be sure, he gives examples of Kennedy's charm and wit, and he tells us that Kennedy's salary, throughout his carrer in public office, was entirely and quietly given to charity. Good. However, the principal impression left is of a diminution of Kennedy's stature and even his integrity. This may be in exact accord with fact and in no wise unjust. But, again, is it the kind of thing that a friend does to a friend? Robert L. Stevenson There can be few Americans who have not ·seen one or another of the several movie versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Treasure Island. But how many know any,thing about the author of the books from which these films were made? He is ,of course, Robert Louis Stevenson. He is the subject of a new biography by James Pope Hennessy. Robert Louis Stevenson (Simon and Schuster, 630 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10020. 320 pages. Illustrated. $9.95). Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1850, and died and was buried in Samoa, in the South Seas, iil 1894. Nothing of his fiction was more romantic ,than t-he last four years of his life, which he spent on the Samoan island of Upolo, -then the proverbial tropical paradise. This was in contrast to the dour city in which he was born, grew up, and first fell victim to the ill health which was to torment him all his days, except for. the years he passed in the tropics. His father and other male relatives were engineers expert in lighthouse illumination, and it was expected that Stevenson would follow their lead. He studied engineering, switched to law, was admitted to the bar, but never practiced.

Pope Distinguishes Peace from Comfort VATICAN CITY (NC) - Real Christian interior peace is not immobile but rather is "vigilant and active-a peace that produces,". Pope Paul VI told a general audience here. • In the evening audience. which had been moved from St. Peter's Square to the basilica because of a rainstorm, Pope Paul declared: "Peace, which is an interior and personal obligation in Christianity, is not doing nothing, is not immobility and posses,es no such selfishness as that which .idealizes a comfortable and quiet life. "Yes, peace is order, but order as applied to active human life. If we want peace to be true and lasting it must remain. vigilant and active-a peace that produces continually, with joyful love and hard work. "It has to be not only enjoyed, but also continually searched for," The Pope began his audience with lively impromptu remarks about the presence of Christ among us and the need for Christians to be joyful. In his prepared text, he told the crowd of about 17,000: "The. Lord said, 'All of you are brothers' (Matt. 23, 8). The Lord's thought is as hroad as His heart,

it is universal. This religion of truth and salvation is for all, and since it is for all, you must all be reconciled among yourselves," The Pope continued: "This fundamental reconciliation has a name, as easy to say as it is difficult to realize in so many circumstances. It is pea-ce," He added: "The peace which we must above all seek is the peace of the

heart, that state of spirit of justice, kindness and serenity which makes us ·respectful and kind to everyone. "It is the peace which takes from our spirits those sentiments which block at least the potential diffusion of love to those around us." , After his search, Pope Paul gave a brief welcome to a group of Holy Year pilgrims from Jefferson ~ity.

KNOW YOUR FAITH Shape of Things· to Come

By Rev. John B. Sheerin, C.S.P. Father Sheerin was editor of the "Catholic World," the oldest Catholic magazine in the U. S. His syndicated column (NC News Service) is called "Sum and Substance" and is found in many Catholic diocesan papers. He was chosen by the Vatican as official Catholic observer for four international ecumenical meetings and acted as a Council peritus (expert) at the Second Vatican Council, which began in Rome in 1962. The ecumenical movement is by no means old' or arthritic and may be just at the beginning of its long·range influence, accord· ing to a comment in "The Journal of Ecumenical Studies" (Fall, 1974: p. 738). "An unchartered area of the ecumenical move· ment, now beginning to be taken seriously, is the relation between Christianity and Judaism." This is certainly ,true of Catholic-Jewish relations in dialogue. The publication of the new Vatican "Guidelines" for Catholic-JewiSh dialogue (January i, 1975) has given a new impetus to this dialogue and has accelerated its pace. This is quite evident in the increased workload of our Catholic-Jewish Secretariat in Washington. One of .the reasons for the spurt of activity is that Cardinal Willebrands' Committee, in presenting the new document, advocates a new perspective on

Your Jewish Friends Cqntinued from Page Thirteen ,chosen, through no merit of their own, to play a special role within that alliance of all mankind with God.

Judaism Continued from Page Thirteen the flick of his royal finger. At Sinai, upon entering into the "B'rit" (the Covenant) with the Lord of Israel and accepting to become the bearers of the Ten Commandments among the human family, these brick-making slaves were transfigured into a state of holines~. The entire people were to beco'me "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Each human life, no matter what his or her former status or indignity, became irreversibly the bearer of the Divine image. To the believer, nothing could thereafter change that appreciation of the infinite preciousness of human life - individual or corporate. Sinai stamped upon Israel their indelible character a,s a "messianic people." The Covenant obligated them to carry out a task of redemption in society. Israel was to create a "model society" that did justice, loved mercy, and walked humbly with God. Promised Land And that is where the "land of Israel" comes into the picture. Just as God freely elected the People of Israel for a Divinelyappointed task, so God also elected through His Covenant with Abraham to choose the Land of Israel as the site for building the messianic society. "Now the Lord said unto A:bram," the Bible records. in Genesis 12:4 through 13:15, "for aU the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever." From that time forward, across nearly 4,000 years, the Promised Land-lsrael-became the center of orientation of the Jewish people, the scene of their Biblical origins and the setting for the Messianic future. Only with that historic background in mind can one make sense of the powerful hold that Israel continues to exert on Jews everywhere today. There is another central theme in Judaism: God's election of the Jewish people is permanent and subject neither to cancellation nor replacement. As proclaimed in Deuternonmy 7 (and Psalm 89 and elsewhere in the Bible and in post-Biblical Rabbinic Judaism), "Know ,that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth the covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations." That certain knowledge of the constancy and fai,thfulness of God whom keeps His promises with His people "for a thousand generations" is the ultimate key to understanding how the Jewish people have endured anti-Semitic pogroms, inquisitions, ,discriminations, ghettos, yellow badges of shame, even Auschwitz, and have prevailed to this day. (For a bibliography on Jews and Judaism, write to Rabbi Tanenbaum, at the American Jewish Committee, 165 East 56 Street, New York, N. Y. 10022).

~xodus and Sinai A traditional way of expressing that role is that they are to be a witness-people, a people in. vited to an intimate sharing in the wisdom of God's law for mankind. The two stories that best express the Jewish sense of destiny as a people, the sense .of spedal vocation, are the stol'ies of the Exodus from Egypt to bec9me a free and reo sponsible people, and the story of the assembly at Mount Sinai where God revealed His Law to them as the special gift that was to make them His people. All pervasive in the Jewish way of life -is the confidence that God loves us in spite of the injustices, wars, oppression and other evils that are rampant in the world, and that He has revealed to us the Law by which we can so live as to build a better world and finally be redeemed from the consequences of evil deeds. The most路 characteristic prayer of Jews is the "Shema," the recollection ,that there is but one God and that life is only worthwhile if one loves God passionately and loves one's neighbor who is just like oneself. Jesus was certainly taught as a child to make prayer the core of His life (as Jews were in His time and 'have been ever since), and when He was asked as a preacher what was the most important thing ,to do in life. He referred immediately to that prayer (Mot. 22.34-40; Mk 12. 28-34; and Lk. 10.25-28.) Looking back on every,thing that had happened after His death and resurrection, His fonowers realized that that was the core of His own teaching and 1:hat He had really added nothing to it, except the way He Himsel,fhad carried it out, making an utterly new beginning of human possibilities. Of course, not everyone saw it that way. Those who saw it that way were those whose own lives had been touched and deeply affected by Jesus or by the transformed lives of His foJ.lowers. Many devout Jews through history could not possibly have seen it that way because they did not meet Jesus in person and the followers they met were not transformed people at all. Today most of the Western world is Chr,istian, but it shows little concern for peace, for the poor, the oppressed, the lonely, the disabled, the handicapped. What a faithfUl Jew must do in a world like that, is to be loyal to his traditions, to live at least within the Jewish community that kind of love of God and love of neighbor that w.m establish a witness community within which there is social concern. If Jews tend to become wealthy that is largely because other Jews help them. If they do well ,n studies it is because they are brought up to have a sense of s~ial responsibility and personal vocation. If they do not go to court for cr.iminal offenses it is because they are committed as a community to a far more comprehensive law promoting a decent and constructive way of life. Surely what Christians should do in relation to Jews is at least to respect them for their committed and integrated way of life.

, JUDAISM'S SPIRITUAL VITALITY: The new Vatican Guidelines for Catholic-Jewish dialogue . , . recognize Judaism as a faith rich in spiritual vitality. Sabbath prayers during Passover season attract Jews from all walks of life to Toras being held aloft for public prayer in a square beside Jerusalem's Western Wall. NC Photo.

Shape of Things to Come Continued from Page Thirteen the document calls attention to a number of areas in which Catholic teaching and scholarship have clarified murky notions abo~t Jews such as the notion that the Jewish people are collectively responsible for the death of Jesus or the false impression that Old Testament Judaism constituted a religion of fear, wrath and legalism in contrast to the New Testament's message of love of neighbor. Since Vatican 'lI, Catholic scholars have made e",haustive studies of Catholic textbooks and 'teaching materials and have published their findings-a great mass of ugly stereotypes of Jews, nasty fables about Jewish ritual murder of Christian dnfants and numerous other items that must be purged from Catholic teaching materials. Warning to Preachers The "Guidelines" go further than this. They warn preachers of homilies against falsifying the message of Scripture "especially when it is a question of passages which seem to show the Jewish people in such a light." The Vatican document also admonishes members of translation commissions to take special care in' making translations of passages to be used at Mass which par ish ion e r s might misunderstand because of prejudice. The document cItes as examples, the word "Pharisee" and the term "the Jews" as this term is used in the Gospel of St. John. The New Testament references to ,the Pharisees are usually allusions to a certain type of Pharisee already being discredited by the Jews generally: they are not blanket condemnations of all Pharisees. This Vatican document also shows a graceful sensitivity to Jewish sensibilities in warning Christians in dialogue that they

must have a sympathetic understanding of Jewish difficulties regarding the Incarnation. They are urged "to understand the difficulties which arise f()f the Jewish soul-rightly imbued With with an extremely high, pure notion of the divine transcendence - when faced with the mystery of the Incarnate Word." Cardinal Willebrands' Committee has given those working in the area of CathoHc-Jewish Relations an immensely helpful series of suggestions, not an abstract theological treatise but a simple, hrief, clear and practical set of recommendations based on actual experience in the dialogue of these last 10 years, and addressed to Catholics anx'ious to get star.ted in the dialogue on a local level. It will undoubtedly help immeasurably to dispel the miasma that has so often clouded 'Catholic-Jewish relations. .

Continued from Page Thirteen yet in a real sense these relations constitute the ultimate ecumenism, the ultimate dialogue, for Christianity. Fully seen, these relations are crucial for Christian self-understanding. Christian purification, and Christian renewal. That they are important for Christian self-understanding should be easy .to see. The fact that for many Christians this is not true is proof in itself of a defect in Christian self-understanding. That we began as a Jewish sect is something long forgotten. A long de-Judaization process has all but obliterated the memory of our first days. A few simple facts may revive these memories. 路Jesus was born, Hved, and died under the Law. There is no evidence He intended to leave the Synagogue. Historically, He should be seen as a Rabbi of the Pharisaic tradition, probably of the school of Hillel. Peter and Paul remained in the Synagogue, as did no doubt the other Apostles, who considered themselves expelled from the Synagogue rather than willingly leaving it. The Jewishness of the early Church is, best brought out perhaps by the first crisis in the Church when at the so-called Council of Jerusalem in 45 A.D. visions accorded to Peter and Cornelius were required to show that pagan converts to the Church would not have to maintain the Jewish dietary laws to become Christians (Acts: ch. 10). Before long the' de-Judaization process had thoroughly Gentilized the Church and in the course of the centuries reached the point of complete forgetfulness of our Jewish roots. The present confusion of identity in the Church can in large part be attributed to this uprootedness from the Jewish soil in which the Church grew. Anti-Semitism 2. Jewish-Christian understanding is necessary for Christain purification. The' anti-Judaic theology elaborated by the early apologists and Fathers had by the fourth century led to the charge of deicide against the Jewish people and their repudiation and reprobation by God. It has aptly been described as a Turn to Page Fifteen ELECTRICAL

The long history of antiSemitic oppression in which Jews were ost.racized, exiled, ghettoized, forced into Baptism, charged with ritual crimes, and murdered in great numbers constitutes the greatest stain on the history of Christendom. The purification of the Christian conscience can never be complete until this Christian pathology is faced, both in history and in ourselves, confessed, and eliminated-a task as yet only feebly begun. The fact that Christian anti-Semitism has gone underground, festering in our uncon· scious selves, makes the matter of its cure a. difficult one. Its elimination from the depths of the Christian soul is an urgent task confronting the Christian conscience.

we shall have here will depend the final renewal of Christianity. Vatican Stands The task comprises a negative and a positive phase. The first, the negative, has already been seriously begun with the explicit repudiation of the deicide charge in the II Vatican Council Statement on the Jewish people (Nostra Aetate," 4) and the Vatican Guidelines Implementing "Nostra Aetate" of 1975. But this is only a beginning. If Judaism is not deicidal, is it not rejected and replaced by the Church in the plan of God? The traditional answer has been yes. But it is not that of St. Paul. Here the Apostle is explicit. Jews have not been rejected because God's promises are irrevocable Rom. 11::29).

Even after Christ they still retain the coven.ants and promises as wen as the law (Rom 9:4: written c. 60 AD). Indeed because of their fathers, they are. "beloved of God" (Rom 11 :28).

The foregoing teachings of Paul do not include his whole theology of Judaism, but they are an integral part of Christian teachings which have over the centuries been ignored. They are essential to Christian selfunderstanding and of great importance to the dialogue that has begun between the Church and the Synagogue.

New Catechism Not Official

Vietnam Clergy Give Refugees Spiritual Aid FORT CHAFFEE (NC)-Twelve Vietnamese priests, 11 of them refugees, are busy here around the clock, ministering to more than 5,600 Catholics among the 24,000 Vietnamese at this western Arkansas Army post. Four concelebrated Masses are offered daily at the base, according to Father Daniel Donahue, an Army chaplain representing the U.S. Catholic Conference. Throngs of worshippers are so large, he said, that liturgies are celebrated out of doors. "The Church is all these people have left," said Father Donahue, "and their devotion is something to behold." The refugees recite the rosary aloud before the two morning and two afternoon Masses, the chaplain reported, and their responses to the Mass prayers echo off the nearby hills. Father Donahue said ,one Viet· namese priest, who was studying in New York when the refugees began arriving, flew to Fort Chaffee and was immedia,tely joined by 11 refugee priests. This group, together with Father Donhue and Father Tom McAndrews, another Army chaplain, now make up the Catholic clergy at the base. Supplementing the priests' service to Catholic refugees are four refugee Carmelite nuns, who commute to Fort Chaffee every' day from St. Scholastica Convent, Fort Smith, motherhouse of the Benedictine Sisters in the Diocese of Little Rock. Many Arkansas families have offered to sponsor Vietnamese families, but the exact number has not been tallied. Father James R. Savary, diocesan social services director, said he had channeled 10 applications to Catr..olic Relief Services which has established an office at Fort Chaffee. Some of these applicants, he said, are farmers with vacant houses on their land. Reports from the base indicate that tight security is being maintained as individual refugees are screened by government officials. Even the four refugee. Carmelite nuns were refused permission to leave the post to live at the nearby Benedictine convent, until U.S. Sen. Dale Bum· pers of Arkansas intervened in their behalf.

Religious Accent on Bicentennial

WASHINGTON (NC) - "An American Catholic Ca,techism," a new publication to which IS Catholic theologians contributed and wh"ich is intended for adult Catholics, "is not an official document of the Catholic bishops of the United States," a U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC) official said. In a statement issued here, the official, Msgr. Wilfrid H. Paradis, project director of the National Catechetical Directory (NCD), called the new book "a statement on the faith by a number of scholars which contains discussion on several matters that are in areas of theological debate and research." . "An American Catholic Catechism" is published by Seabury Press, a Protestant firm. Msgr. Paradis is directing the preparation of the NCD, which will provide guidelines for religious education in the United States. It has been the subject of an extensive nationwide consultation, which is stiH continuing. Noting that his office has received a number of inquiries about "An American Catholic Catechism," Msgr.
