Urge Proper Use Of' Pentecostals SAN JUAN (NC)-The bishops of Puerto Rico issued a warning on Pentecostal movement '~abuses," but said Catholics must not condemn the whole group. The warning drew heavily on a report by Bishop Alexander Zaleski of Lansing, Mich., chairman of the U. S. bishops' doctrinal commission. The Puerto Rican bishops 'noted that' Bishop Zaleski's report said that "the charismatiC renewal movement 'should not be prohibited, 'but it should be permitted to develop, although certain precautions should be taken.' "

"We feel this attitude is a prudent one," the Puerto Rican bishops commented, although they said they are not accepting the report as a whole "because circumstances are different over ther'e than here." , The bishops of San Juan, Arecibo, Caguas and Ponce - who head some 2.6 million Catholics in this small Caribbean islandrecalled their public condemnations of abuses by some Pentecostal gr-Oups, such as claims of healing the sick and resurrecting the dead. They also warned against "certain, statements made through a false sense of ecumen-

ism and even attributed to priests, that all religions are equally true even if different denominations hold openly contradictory doctrine~," "Again, not a few of the faithful are puzzled by the so-called speaking in tongues." The bishops were critical of some rituals of Pentecostal groups purporting to take the place of sacraments. "How could a watered-down version of the sacrament of baptism be admini5tered, as if it were a purely external and empty rite, and yet claim to give an absolute guarantee of salvation?" the bishops asked. They were referring to what some Pentecostals call "baptism of the Spirit." "These and other claims fall of their own wesight when a precise explanation is sought," the bishops stated, adding that even "Catholic Pentecostals of good faith and solid spiritual formation condemn such abuses." The statement, a - six-page release given to the press here, stressed that the bishops were not condemning the Pentecostal movement as a. whole. It paraphrased Bishop Zaleski's report that "the remedy is not in denying the existence of such charismatic p.iftq, but 'in the proper use of those gifts."

Asks Cooperation Dr. Blake Optimistic About Catholic Ties With World Council NEW YORK (NC)-The general secretary of the World Council of Churches said here that the Vatican's llecision not to apply for membership in the WCC in the near future does not reflect a slackening commitment to ecumenism by the Catholic Church."There is not basically any change in the direction of the Roman Catholic Church from Vatican II," said the Rev. Eugene Carson Blake, though he acknowledged that there were "tendencies in the Roman Curia'.' against ecumenical involvement. , "The last three years have been critical for all churches, not least of all the Catholics," he continued, .citing "crises of faith and crises of auth?rity." Dr. Blake recalled that in 1969, when Pope Paul came to World C.ouncil headquarters in Geneva, he said the question of Catholic membership in the Protestant and Orthodox body needed study. "We have done the study and it did not seem adequate" to the Vatican, Dr. Blake said, but added: "I am assured by the ecumenists in the Vatican that it is not basically a decision against the World Council of Churches." Dr. Blake made his comments at a press conference during the meeting of the general board of the National Council of Churehes. During the WCC central committee meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, .16 months ago, WCC staff members spoke confidently in private conversations about a Catholic application coming be· fore the next world assembly of the WCC in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 1975. At the press conference here, Dr. Blake said the WCC does not expect a Catholic membership application to be on the agenda of the Jakarta assembly. 'Not Going Backward' In the light of that development, Dr. Blake said h.e had conferred with Pope Paul, following the early June meeting of the Joint (WCC-Vatican) Working group, asking for the cooperation

of both the Roman Curia and the hierarchy in Indonesia in both the planning and carrying out of the 1975 gathering. 'As a result of his conversations with the Pontiff, pr. Blake said he could give assurances that the Jakarta meeting would be "more than just a WCC Assembly." Dr. Blake insisted that "the ecumenical movement is not going backward; on that I'm quite clear. In ·the last 10 years the ecumenical movement has produced relationships and reo suIts that nobody could· have predicted." In the course of his conversation with the Pope, Dr. Blake said, he had described briefly the financial difficulties of the WCC in recent years. The Pontiff, he recalled, smiled knowingly and responded with the Italian equivalent of "Welcome, colleague!"

Dachau Survivors Received by Pope VATICAN CITY (NC)-"Holy Father, I have the pleasure of presenting to you priests interned with me at Dachau." With these words Italian Bishop Carlo Manziana of Crema introduced to Pope Paul VI 14 Italian priests who survived the horrors of the infamous Nazi concentration camp. In his welcoming speech, the Pope, expressed his "emotionfilled appreciation" for' the priests' witness at Dachau during "those tragic and dark hours" of history.

RAMSGATE (NC) - Despite the elaborate machinery of Britain's welfare state, skid rows still exist. Sometimes called the "high· ways of the helpless," their traffic flow is the flotsam and jetsam of modern, urbanized society, those incapable of coping with life. They are to be found mainly in the large cities and towns, in the' underworld of sleazy cafes, flophouses, derelict .buildings, cheap saloons, demolition sites and neglected cemeteries. Many have turned to alcohol or narcotics as the only escape hatch from what they feel is the intolerable reality of their lives. They often drift into petty crime. In the early 1960's a Catholic probation officer, Anton WallichClifford, bec:ame concerned over the lack of provision for these unfortunate:>. On Sept. I, 1963, he founded the Simon Community Trust to fill yet another gap left by the welfare state. Although Catholic in inspiration, it is ecumenical in operation, and although based on Christian principles, it makes no religious demands on those it serves. "We are not starry-eyed idealists, and we are not sloppy sentimentalists, "Wallich-Clifford told NC News, "but practical realists who know that the key to starting some sortof relationship with those who have no ability to do so is love, love and still more love, backed by untiring, unremitting and endless work."

Censorship Board Fines Magazine PANAMA CITY (NC) - The Jesuit magazine Dialogo Social' was fined $250 by a government censorship board for "offending Christian morals." The justice ministry supported the fine, !laying the magazine's current issue also contained a "seditious article urging citizens to rebel by making biased and . reckless assertions."

Money Problems Force Diocesan Paper to Close

THE ANCHORThurs., June 29, 1972

._~.;

FRESNO (NC) Financial problems dating to the farm workers grape boycott in 1968 have forced the Central California Register to end publication July 20. Bishop Hugh A. Donohoe said his decision to close the diocesan newspaper was based on "the continued decline in both subscriptions and advertising" and rising costs, including large postal rate increases. . Bishop Donohoe said that "general economic conditions hold iittle promise for any improvement in the near future," Subsidies to the paper, he said, "have placed a heavy burden on the diocese." . Gerard E. Sherry, managing editor since 1967, said the paper's financial troubles started in 1968 when the grape boy~ cott was declared by Cesar Chavez in the San Joaquin Valley, which is part of the Fresno diocese. Long Memories "B'ecause of the paper's editorial stand for justice for the farm worker," Sherry said, "agribusiness interests organized effective advertising and circulation boycottes which have caused a staggering loss of revenue since then. Although the farm labor dispute was settled in the valley, agribusines3 concerns have long memories and our recovery has been permanently affected." The Central California Register has won many awards from professsional journalism groups, including a first place award in May from the Catholic PressAssociation for the best front page. ~

Priests Active On Social Issues DUNEDIN (NC)-SmalI groups of priests in Asia are committed to becoming increasingly active on social issues, especialIy in the area of development of their countries, according to Father Tissa Balusuriy'a, chaplain for Asia for the International Movement of Catholic Students. A smalI man physicalIy, but a dynamo in terms of energy, he travels extensively in Asia. What he has seen, he said, has COJlvinced him that 路more and more problems will arise. over路 what the role of the priest in society should be. . "These will not affect alI priests, but they will affect those priests who are more seriously concerned with social commitment," he said. The number of those already committed to work more activelyon social issues is still smalI, he said. They know their work may upset some of the laity's view of a priest's work, but they see themselves answering some of the particular needs of the societies in which they work, Father Balusuriya added. "The Church," he said, "has to find a framework in which these priests, and similarly committed Religious, can work.

Dispute Causes Of Violence MONTEVIDEO (NC) - The bishops and the. president of this guerrilla-ridden nation are at odds on the causes of violence. The Uruguayan Bishops Conference said the "stagnation, dependency and hopelessness" engulfing people in their jobs, homes, schools, health and social security are responsible "for the present difficult situation," "I disagree with such justification of the causes oLviolence," replied President Ju.an Maria Bordaberry, known as a practicing Cathofic. For him, violence is caused by a "sedition plan" of guerrilla leaders welI'provided with weapons, resources and propaganda. The president spoke as dragnet operations by police and the armed forGes succeeded in flushing out dozen~ of Tupamaros-the 'urban guerrillas who for the past five years have resprted to kidnapings, bank robberries and other violence to weaken what they calI "oppressive structures," Several Tupamaro .leaders have been killed or jailed, at the price of many more civilian and government路 agents' lives.

Sees Possibilities for School Aid WASHINGTON (NC) - The "financial crunch" facing nonpublic education is real, but new aid possibilities are on the horizon, a U. S. Catholic Conference official said here. Dr. Edward R. D'Alessio, director of the USCC elementary and secondary education division, cited the "serious impact" on non-public education of the June 1971 U. S. Supreme Court decision 6utlawing most direct aid to nonpublic schools. Despite the setback of last Summer's high court decision, D'Alessio told 32 diocesan offic-' ials that future aid possibilities remain. Among the potential programs he described were education "revenue sharing"; a strengthening of programs already . . in the 1965, Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and tax credits for parents of nonpublic school children.

Rules? Come Now! There seems to hav~ been an almost endless amount of writing'about thit:tgs Catholic over the last,ten years. And yet, reputable writers and news media can still ,present stories that talk about the 'Catholic Church and its "old rules on divorce, birth control, a married priesthood or papal infallibility." If the writer in thisinstance,really means what he says, 'then much of the writing about the Church has ' been wasted or a purveyer, of misinformation. Such matters as divorce and birth control and papal infallibility are ·not rules; they are matters of 'faith and morals. The issue of a'. married priesthood is a rule that has long standing inJ..he Western Church.for reasons of dedic~ tion andsatrifice.as well as for the better working out of the state- and function of the priestly role. But what a disservice to lump all these together as "rule~." rhe implication is that they are somehow fussy minor matters of custom, that' can-and perhaps shouldbe due for a change. After all, just about every season sees sport officials getting together and setting out changes or~, modifications in the' rules of their respective sports. So 'the .over-all feeling is conveyed-accidentally or otherwise.that these matters of Catholic .Church dogma. and morals are also "rules" that are subject to change. It is precisely this kind of careless writing arid incorrect -language use that: ~atholics must be sensitive to and prepared to correct.

Peoria's Catholic, School Situation Is Stabilized PEORIA (NC)-Th'e Peoria diocese .has "turned the corner," in the fight to' save its Catholic schools, according to Bishop Edward' W. O~Rourke. , For the first time in six years, . none of the dioceses schools has ·announced plans to shut down. This is in contrast to last year's closing of four schools and 1970's closing, of five schools. , Peoria's stabilized school situation is a result of three factors, Bishop O'Rourke 'told the Catholic Post, the archdiocesan weekly here in Illinois· The first is a breakdown of the myth. that Catholic education is doomed to ,extinction. "We have officially made it known," said the bishop, "that the Roman Catholic school system is here t? stay." He said that' "many schools, have closed by reason of a selffulfilling prophecy: some say the schools can't last, so people st,9P sending their children there and also reduce financial support of the schools. But we've reversed the prophecy hy saying loud and clear that our schools are here to stay." Maintain Quality Bishop O'Rourke said that a second factor in Peoria's schoo( stabilization is the consolidation of the school systems in 'Peoria and peru. The consolidated sys'-' tem can "afford fewer students in a class, more operational space, and a better selection of teachers," the bishop explained. ,1 c . . A final consideration has been the Catholic Office of Catholic Education's determination to maintain quality in the Catholic school system, Bishop 9'Rourke said.

"There is no reason to hurry," Dr. Louis Hellman told the panel when it considered an endorsment of the commission's abortion position. "Very little is going to be done between now and the el~ction anyhow."

Tax Credit Bill Passes in Ohio COLUMBUS (NC) - A bill providing tax c.redits to parents of nonpublic, school students has passed both houses of the Ohio General Assembly here and has been signed by Gov. John J. Gil\igan. The bill, which replaces a parent 'reimbursement law declared unconstitutional two months ago, was immediately challenged in court by the Ohio branch of the American Civil' Liberties Union. The bi1l is retroactive to the 1971-72 school year. It provides maximum of $90 tax credit for every <:hild attending a nonpublic school. No family is allowed to claim more in tax credits than they actual1y spend in tuition. The ,tax credit will come in the form of a refund from a family's combined state income tax and sales tax. Families with several children in nonpubJic schools will not, however, be permitted to claim tax credits i,n excess of their total tax payment. A cut-off on accumulated tax credits ;;omes when the family's credits equal the a!J1ount paid in taxes. In an unusual move, parents, of st\ldents - attending Lutheran schools in Cleveland have filed suit in federal district court there asking that the legislation be declared constitutional and that an injun::tion. be issued· to prevent interference with payment of funds. The ACLU, which cla'ims the bill is unconstitutionl, is trying to get the case moved to federal district court in Columbus and has promised a court battle.

Combine -Facts and Values for D,,,,g Education Young people do not know all about drugs. This.is not an- indictment, just a fact. They absorb great chunks Of drug information, but it is not always the best quality. Commonly, they know dr'llgs in the same ways young peopl~ knew about sex years ago. Most of that sex information came from other young people on street corners or in the locker room. As a result, many older people are suffering personal or marital difficulties because they picked up false information or no information at all. Young people now garner much of their drug knowledge in the same way. They learn from buddies, friends or street rap sessions. Quite often what they hear are isolated stories or what someone likes or feels about Ii drQg, not necessarily what is known. There is a difference. Knowledge To offset what might be false and to supplement what might be known, adults should be knowledgeable at least in the basics of drug education. Then if approached bya curious young person, intellectual ;;..- not just emotional-discussion can take place. The conversation will deal in truth and not scare tactics or lies.

like showing a kid who steals a cookie and a bank robber being 'shot down against a wall". Most importantly, incorporate your drug education into the social scenes. Teach the kids about false advertising, what it means to live through a. fad, what it means to be gullible when you you are 11, 12, and 13 years old. Real Values Lack of awareness about these things are indirectly leading our young people into fhe drug scene. We have to start talking more about real values in their lives and less about drugs alone. Whenever a ball team starts losing ballgames the coach says, "let's get back to basics." We better start getting back to basic values because we're losing a lot of ballgames with a lot of kids around this country. (Next week: Solid Family Life)

Priests Defeat Anti-War Motion ATLANTA (NC)-The Atlanta senate of priests has defeated a motion to recommend "immediate and complete withdrawal of American forces" from Vietnam. The resolution, introduced by Father Tony Morris and framed by the sen:lte's justice and peace committee, would have been sent to all Georgia Congressmen. The reSOlution, which was defeated by a 5-4 vote, called the war "immoral and inhumane" and "encouraged leaders of our nation to act not just out of concern for United States security and honor, but also for .. a reverence for human life." In expressing his opposition to the resolution, Father Daniel O'Connor said the statement was "simplistic" and "very poorly. written." He added that it could cause considerable embarrassment to Atlanta priests. In defense of the statement's wording, Father John Adamski, chairman of the justice and peace committee, said every word was borrowed from pronouncements of American bishops. , "I can't see how a Christian can continue to support the action of our country. I find it difficult to understand how Christian principles can be appplied and accepted in the present military course of action taken by the president," -he commented.

the Rev. G.T.H. Reid of Aberdeen, who said that no real religious or spiritual grounds were put forward. The chief argument, he said, seemed to be that Catholics take their religion seriously and tnat those in the Church of Scotland do not. Plan Together The assembly, by a large majority, rejected a move by the Rev. S.D.B. Picken of Orkney to urge the government to regard the assembly recommendation as a matter of immediate concern and to implement the necessary legislation. The Church's education committee chairman, the Rev. A.H. Minto, said that such action would undermine the "frail bridge of understanding and good will which had been established" between Catholics_ and the Church of Scotland and would only engender bitterness. Both Catholics and Protestants, he said, must plan to-gether for -future schools that will be acceptable to both communities. Mr. Minto said that in his committee it had bee~ a!gued that separate schools are a factor in fostering social conflicts and that no real change' c,an be expected until children grow up together and are educated together. "It is obvious," he said.. "that the weight of these arguments was greatly' enforced by the sorrowful and tragic' events in Ulster."

and' Bishop Dougherty commented. In March over 17,000 Lithuanians, in a "courageous act of ma~sive protest against repression of religion," signed a petition sent to the secretary general of the United Nations. The message, was then relayed to the Soviet Communist party's first secretary,. Leonid Breshnev, the bishops said. "This procedure was decided on, since earlier protests sent directly to the Soviet government had been ans'Qvered by 'intensi-· fied repression' of Catholic bishops and priests."

Scotland Assembly' Calls for End To Separate Catholic Schools EDINBURGH (NC)-The annual assembly of the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) the country's largest denomination called for an end to separate Catholic schools in Scotland. That .decision, approved by a majority of 14 votes, is a reversal of a,' policy determined in 1968 when the Church of Scotland said it is inadvisable to try and impose integration "upon an unwilling Catholic community." Some Church observers said they feel that the assembly decision is not 'of major significance because only 204 out of the 1,362 ministers and elders attending the assembly were present when the decision was taken. Under the 1918 Education Act the government builds separate schools for - Catholic and nonCatholic pupils in Scotland, and pays the entire financial bill. The Church is responsible for religious education and the Catholic character of the staffs. In recent years the issue of separated schooling has been debated regularly in Sc?tland. Opposition to the call to end separate Catholic schools was raised in the assembly debate by

To Aid Poor of -World

SPRI~GFIELD (NC) -

If we stand off a little from the, problem of armaments and put to one side our normal, unquestioning everyday way of thinking about "defense," we can hardly fail to share Pope Paul's sense of shock and sorrow that mankind. accepts almost as a matter of course public ex- churches, mIssIOnary bodies, CARE, OXFAM and other such penditure of the order of private charitable bodies -will $150 biliions a year on in- fill in the gaps the market can struments of destruction, yet dedicates not more than $6 to 8 billions to pu.blic programs for the constructive tasks of devel-

opment. The reasons for this disparity are not, as we have already noted, rooted in any kind of economic necessity. The American community, growing by more than $40 billion a year, could dedicate a third of that increase to world development almost without noticing it. No, the reasons for accepting defense and rejecting development assistance are political and ought to be fully understood. Some we have examined already-for instance, the argu-' ment that even spending a third of the defense budget on development would undermine free enterprise and disrupt the market-a fairly nonsensical proposition since vast spending on defense has done neither: This bias is supported by further arguments-that private charity and private investment can do the job and are more socially acceptable instruments of action in a free society.

not cope with. But it does not, in fact, work out like this. Take the critical input of private investment. To that half of the world in which annual income per head of the population is below $150, only a . trickle of private funds find their way. Less than 15 per cent of the world's private investing goes to the 50 per cent living in the poorest lands-and were it not for investment in oil,' the sum would be lower still. Hereamong the poorest peoples-as, a century ago, among the poor-,est classes-the normal methods of the market economy 'do not "work because the potential customers are much too'poor to get, into the market in the first place.. So, if private charity is to fill in the gap, it will have to be on a tremendous scale. But is that possible? The answer is that today the full flow of private donations from all sources to the poorer lands is under $500 million a year - not even onetwelfth of the sums made available by public aid programs. Under no conceivable conditions can we expect to see private donors in the Atlantic World voluntarily ~ultiplying their present -alms a dozen times over. They simply will not do so. Cannot Fill Needs

Private Efforts In a sense, this argument repeats at the world level the 19th century belief firmly held inside our national communities that tlie thrust of private erterprise would provide society's main means of livelihood while private 'alms-giving would look after the disadvantaged people who could not earn a, living through the ordinary market. , ' Apply this belief to our new planetary society in which, we should recall, the 20 per cent 'who live round the North Atlantic enjoy 80 per cent o'f the income' then the expectation is that pri: vate international investment will provide the main stimuIus, to growth between nations while voluntary-agencies

Dramatic Increase In Retreatants LONDON (NC)-In the past two years there has been a dramatiee .increase in the number of people making retreats in Britain, and this trend is not confined to Catholics. People of all religiouS 'affiliations are joi.ning and even many uncommitted are spending a few 'days in a convent or monastery. . Methodists are making use of Anglican centers for retreats.

Nor should this surprise us. In the 19th century, private charity could never fill up the needs of the路 desperately poor. At the end of the Victorian era in England, after a century of industrial supremacy, it was discovered that at least one-third of the recruits for the Boer War had to be rejected because they were too undernourished and sickly to bear arms. Only then did Britain begin to accept public programs -of pensions and health insurance-to put an end to the disgrace. , In our world today, private investment and private allms, valuable as they are, will not reach the poorest half of our fellowmen. We have to decide, as our great-grandfathers had to decide, whether taxation in support of public programs-for education, for health, for public improvement generally-is not, in fact, the only effective way to sharing the world's wealth more equitably. We in the North Atlantic countries enjoy 80 per cent of it. It is given us, like all wealth in trust for our fellowmen. We ~an ' not deny that trust without 'accepting God's judgment on our indifference. This, surely, is the' real significance of economic assistance programs. They are our answer to Pope Paul's query whether we will tax ourselves to aid the poor. The question remains whether Christian citizens can accept an attitude which the Pope has called "defiance thrown in the face of God."

The Rlghts Amendment, mandatmg legal equality for women, actually. ~inders women's right~, an offICIal of the National Council of Catholic Women testified here in Illinois. "It is precisely because of a concer!" for women's rights that the national council opposes the Equal Rights Amendment," said Lucyle Florian, national chairman of:, NCCW's organization services commission. "It agrees with eminent constitution.al authorities that the amendment will take away far more, rights than it will ever give." The amendment-which says equality of rights under law "shall not be denied or abridged by the Uriited States or by any state on account of sex"-was given final congressional approval in March after half a century of lobbying by women's rights groups. Nineteen state legislalatures have currently ratified the amendment-exactly half the number needed before the measure can become law. Mrs. Florian cited several legal experts in her recent testimony before the judicial committee of the Illinois House of Representatives. The Illinois Legis" lature h~s not路 yet voted whether to accept the amendment. Eq~al

'Respect Life' We'ek Planned WASHINGTON (NC) - "Respect Life Week"-a program of education and prayer for the dignity of life .- will be observed Oct. 1-7. , The observance was suggested by a committee of the National Conference of Bishops last Spring. The suggestion was part of a 'statement ,opposing the alJortion recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Population Growth and the American Future. The week will focus on the dignity of life and the threats to life in contemporary society. The committee, headed by' Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York, has suggested an outline of topics to be covered during the national observance. They include the rights of the unborn child, the aged, poverty, youth problems, peace, and the family. The committee has also. asked each bishop to appoint a diocesan coordinator to promote local activities during the week. This coordinator will serve as a link between his diocese and the United States Oatholic Conferennce in Washington. "Respect Life Week" will begin with parish liturgies and ser. mons, Sunday, Oct. I, and will continue with educational programs throughout the week. The programs will include information on the need for legal protection of the unborn child and the alternatives available to the woman with a difficult pregnancy.' The role of youth in building society and the problems of alienation and drug abuse will also be discussed.

Ecumenical Meeting. On Co'mmunications MEXICO CITY (NC) - The U. S. National Council of Churches is sponsoring an ecumenical meeting on social communications here in mid-August for missionaries in Latin America. James Goff, of the NCC's Latin American affairs' office, said about 30 Catholic and Protestant missioners are s'cheduled to attend. The main goal, he added, will be to determine whether Of not present- communications efforts help the poor to liberate themselves from political, economic and social dependency.

So Senate judiciary subcommittee in 1970 had described the amendment as "a threat to the nature of woman which individuates her from man in God's plan for His creation." Noting that "there has been no change in the National Council of Catholic Women's position," Mrs. Florian urged "that the amendment not be ratified by the Illinois Legislature." Ina related incident, NCCW president Rita Burke of Carbondale, Pa., denied that she supports, with qualifications, the Equal Rights Amendment, as re- ' ported in recent news stories. Claiming that she was "quoted out of context," Mrs. Burke said she is personally opposed to the amendment "because of its effect on family support laws, elimination of protective legislation, etc .. 0" Mrs. Burke added, however, that NCCW "definitely supports equal pay for equal work, opportunities for higher education, equal employment opportunity, day care, and legislation recog'nizing the equal dignity of wom路 en as a human person created by God."

'I dined' last night at the rectory with our religious education coordinator and his friend a deacon in the diocese of Rochester. This young man will be ordained ,a priest by the time the.se words are in print, but presently he is co'mpleting a full year of internship at St. Christopher's parish in. the See city's suburbs. ,During our conversatior_ at table he d~scribed the ordination ceremony by which several of his classmates had been raised tQ the priesthood in recent weeks. r like very much, the approach Bishop Joseph Hogan has taken and think that it comes at a most opportune, moment during these . days of identity crises, decline in vocations and clamor for the election of bishops.

Lay Participation The revised Roman ritual' directs' an ordaining prelate tc inquire concerning a candidate's suitability for the priestly once. The text has the bishop ask of the priest who presents him: "Do you know if he is worthy?" It also provides a ready answer for him to give: "I testify' that upon inquiry among the people of God, and upon recommendation of those concerned with their training, ,they' have been found worthy." Finally, the rubrics speak about a "consent of the people" which may be expressed "accordi'lg' to local' customs." In 'former days,' the semir.arv rector or a diocesan official ")e~ formed these function's' and -the congregation either made no response or rather trustingly approved the selection of men about most of whom they knew little.

S,ex in. Marriage 'By JAMES T; McHUGH Contrary to the popular myth, sex is not the number one problem in marriage. But :in too many cases, it isn't the unifying factor that it ought to be either. Though sexual union is a most important. aspect of married love, many couples are confused by the attitudes towa.rd sex that they find i~ the wor,ld aroun~ them. Consequently, their appreciation of their own sexual union is ambivalent at bes1:. Because of the confusion created by the conflicting' viewpoints, a brief examination of some prevalent ,attitudes toward human sexuality may be in order. First of all, there is the "sex-is-fun" attitude. Sex must be readily available and tremendously enjoyable, with no further responsibility for either party. A person has to "perform" well, and to help performance, there are hundre,ds of sex man~ ua's available at the local book-

store. Couples who believe this are often uncertain of their perfor~ance. Pretty soon, all the fun is gone, and sex has no further meaning for them. Then there is the mystical approach to • sex. Affection and sexual love are always symbolic of something else, and after a while, it seems to be more a philosophic exercise than a real human encounter. Most married people experience sexual" union somewhere between these two extreme views. What does it mean for their m'l'tpriage, and what can it do to strengthen their love for each other? Human Drive First of all, sexuality is, a powerful human ~rive, as well as an il)timate expression of human love.

embittered. They are advantageous to the men who manipulate the Protestant majority. All this is amply demonstrated in Mr. FitzGibbons's lengthy and tightly packed book. The reader wiH have to take pains if he is' to follow the author's account of the development of Ulster to. its present state. This account is clear, but it is like the slow untangling, of a multi-stranded and intricate web. The untangling is deftly done, yet close attention is 'required for appreciation of the process and its yield. Mr. FiltzGibbon touches ,on Irish history previous to the 17th century. 'But his principal concern is with the pilantation of Uster in 1603 and thereafter. It was then that effective Irish resistance to English conquest was finally broken. The stiffest fight against the English had been staged in the North. For that reason, it was decided to colonize the North with Irish non-Catholics. This artificial arrangement was the beginning of the trouble which :persists to this hour. The land was taken away from its rightful owners and given to the alien newcomers, who would treat the dispossessed natives much as the English colonists treated the natives of North America. Religious Bigotry Periodically the Irish would attempt to rebel, only to have the rebellion put down with extreme brutality. To this savagery was joined a determination to' penalize and extirpate the' Old Faith. And so, as the seventeenth century proceeded, there developed' the special type known as the Ulstermen, whose "most distinctive quality was and is a siege mentality which has frequently reached paranoiac proportions." 'Consciolls of' being a relatively small number in all Ireland and of depending on Britain for the retention of ill-gained privilege, the Ulstermen strove to keep partisan feeling ablaze, and a major aid to that end was the cultivation of religious bigotry brazenly expressed.' Mr. FitzGi1)bon remarks more than once that Irish history is characterized by the almost endless repetition of the same sit-

not confine himself to events in Ulster, because what happened elsewhere in ,Ireland was relevant and influential,as were such happenings in Europe as the French Rf.lvolution, but the focus is on Ulster alKl its tragic 'turmoil. Terror

An important milestone was the formation in 1795 of the Orange Society, later to become the Orange Order. "It is .this semi-secret society which, through its Orange Lodges ... has controlled, and still controls, the political activities of what are now called the Unionists in Ulster." Orangeism began as a low level organization to keep Catholics in their place by terror tactics. Gradually it took On respectability.. Men of rank and wealth joined .it, recognizing its uses for them. So did members of the Established Church of Ireland, of which the King of England was the head. Rabble-rousing clergymen, both dissenters and Church of Ireland, whipped, the rankand-file to a fury by their antiCatholic oratory, of which the book gives several horrifying samples. As Orangeism strengthened, it became a mass movement, allpervasive and all-powerful in Ulster. The Orange procession became a tradition, thundering with drums, blatant in quasimilitary display, and calculated to intimidate' and provoke the Catholics. These 'bullyboy affairs have not changed in some 200 years. When, after World War I, Ire-land obtained the status first· of a free state and then of a republic, the country was partitioned, with six counties in the North still united to Britain but given home rule. Thus did contemporary Ulster come into existence. Famous Me,n It is contemporary in its industrialization and ~in such welfare state benefits as result from union with Britain. But in spirit and in much practice it is hardly different from what it was two ,centuries ago, and Mr. FitzGibbon points out many a parallel with the most abhorrent· totalitarian regimes. The crude political rigging and the severe economic discrimination which victimize the· .Catholics draw his censure. There is still some feeling between North and South in the United States more than 100 years after· the Civil War. For almost 400 years religious and, to some extent, ethnic animosity has been heavHy fueled in Ulster, with more oil poured on the fire even now. Whether the fire can be quenched, or even contained, is the critical question. Whether anything like toleration and cooperation can ever come about seems doubtful. If Mr. FitzGibbon's book is informative (and

Apparently the fashion of .commenting on the American Church has begun again. One Batista Mondin has recently published an article of L'Osservatore della Domenica allowing as how the American Church is being shaken by a tremendol.!s earthquake and is on the verge of collapse. Among the other observations of Father MO:ldin was that criticism of the Church. in the United States was going on "with a .masochistic furor that has few precedents in the history not only of the Church but also of any society)' Well, I suppose we must give Father Mondin some points for that eloquenNy phrased observation, though what he describes is not exactly a new phenomenon. Some 15 years ago and long before he became a fan of liturgical gestures, Father Edward Duff coined the phrase "Mass masochism" to describe the self-criticism in the: -American Church. Father Mondin's observation is certainly correct, but it is not exactly a new insight. Excessive Criticism

But as he laments prAests deserting the ministry, nuns abandoning the convent, theologians looking for secular jobs, and parochial schools closing down, Father Mondin offers some observations on the reasonH for the 'lco1'Iapse" of the American Church (even though he thinks th~t there is a "silent majority" that will guarantee the survival of the Church). Those reasons are: excessive criticisms in the wake of the Vatican council, infiltration of secularism into Roman Clitholic thought, and ethnic inferiority complexes. There may be something· to, be said for each of the three explanations, though exactly when criticism becomes excessive seems to be problematic and whether criticism causes trouble , or that the people and policies being ~r~ticized generate criti· cism is perhaps more problematic. To blame critics for trouble is merely to revive the ancient custom of lopping off the heads of the messengers wh<;> brought bad news.. ____

Representatives of the coalition - which includes Catholic, Lutheran and private school parents-said that the major topics discused at a meeting here were ways of getting candidates to state their positions on state aid to nonpublic schools and ways of persuading uncommitted candidates to favor' aid proposals. Mrs. Jeanne Wieschhaus, president of the state federation of Citizens for Education Freedom, told the St. Louis Review, archdiocesan weekly here that tne coalition must decide how deeply involved in politics it should get. "I do know that several of the council's constituent groups, such as the CEF, have been v~ry active. I know, too, that we in -the CEF think political action is the most vital role we can play," Mrs. Wieschhaus said.

Bishop Suggests Reaching Youth_ Through Gospels WASHINGTON (NC)-The unchanging Gospel message must _be the primary means for the Church to reach today's disen.chanted youth, Bishop William Borders of Orlando,-Fla., said. Bishop Borders made his plea ,in an address to the 15th annual , assembly of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, -U.S.A., at th~ Catholic University of America here. The subject of the conference was "Young America Challenges the Church." Bishop Borders told the con· ference that the €hurch is "faced with the reality of a void or the absence of a viable structure' to reach the young people of today's complex, ever-changing. ....orld. "Since the 'Church no longer controls or forms a society. we must equip the young with those ' qualities that will enable them to move through succeeding 'Culture.s wi~h values that are transcendental and permanent''' the bishop said. 'Primary Criterion' "The Church must affirm the Gospel, not canonical structures, in the midst of the ferment_ ex· pressed by youth, -even when this affirmation may not be very popular," he said. Bishop Borders said the Gospel must be the "primary criterion of the authentic teaching-not' cultural, sociological or legal cri· teria that probably had some validity as we moved through history." "Certainly there exists a fa-ith crisis. Western society has been dominated by secular values that, from a religious point of view, have concentrated on the Calvinist and Puritan ethic rather than the Sermon on the Mount. Only when the Church is recognized as a community of charity will the 'youth' give af. firmation to the movement of Christ's redemptive love to which we are all pledged," he said. "Young people are uncertain of their ultimate goals. They are often insecure. The Church must offer them a sense of security / that springs from hope. There~ fore, the Church must invite them to join a viable community in Christ which enjoys hope and joy because it is a community whose sense of life is rooted in Gospel value." Unchanging Message Bishop Borders said that young people are not rebelling against religious and s,piritual values. Their -rebeUion, he said, is against religious expressions and customs which do not proclaim the Gospel values. "M'any of our y~uth see the spiritual and even in a vague way, -see the love of Christ, but find themselves far from the visible Church," he said. The bishop said that while so~ cities change_ not only in style but purpose, "those committed to the unchanging Gospel --mes-sage themselves form a commu· nity of faith that' will endure:' "Most of us have experienced the sad results when institutions stagnate, proceed on their own momentum, and develop ac~ cording to their own implicit ra· tionales. If this is true in our civil society, it may also be true ,in our dioceses and religious orders," Bishop Borders said.

If meeting only means 'gath· ,ering in the same room, occupy· ing a straight-bac~e~ chair for an hour or two, and then rushing to the exit door; maybe this experience should not be called a meeting. The word "meeting" implies "c,oming together." To' corne together takes more tha» -a physical motion to and from a centralized location. To come together with others means to come to know who the other is. It also means becoming acquainted with the values in his life. This does not happen with- -out a time -- fOF relaxation together. The coffee break can often be much more effective for this than the pressurized points on the agenda. A basic ingredient for a real meeting is sensitivity to the feel· ings of those present. This is a diff~rent consideration from one which attempts to railroad through as many pre-determined material issues as possible. Person~Centered

President Nixon -:Again Publicly Opposes' Unrestricted Abortio'n PHILADELPHIA (NC) ~ For the third time within two

months President Nixon has given his support to pro-life forces by publicly declaring his objection to unrestricted abortion policies. The latest declaration by Nixon was in a telegram to the third annual National Right to Life Committee convention here. Nixon"s telegram was addressed. to Juan J. Ryan, president of the National Right to Life Commit-

Early in May. Nixon made t,.wo statements objecting to policies of unrestricted abortion. The first came when he declined to tee. ,support such a recommendation Nixon said: "I have said many by his own Commission on Popu~ times that in my judgement un- lation Growth and the American restricted abortion policies would Future.
