OIReilly Early and Strong Minority Rights Fighter By Dennis P. Ryan One of the most colorful and illustrious Irish Americans of the 19th century was John Boyle O'Reilly of Boston. . An Irish revolutionary, he fled to America in 1870 to escape imprisonment by the British.. Soon as a reporter .and then editor of The Boston Pilot, he became one of the country's outspoken propopents of minority rights - for Irishmen, Jews, blacks and American Indians. In addition he championed the rights of labor, advocated political, educational and' penal reforms, and called for the conservation of America's natural resources. The Pilot, now Boston's archdiocesan newspaper, was at that time the leading Irish-Catholic paper in the country. Under O'Reilly's direction it campaigned against the squalid living conditions, poor wages and other inequities suffered by Boston's pre-

dominantly Irish immigrant population. He counseled Irish-Americans to practice hard work, toleration and brotherhood in order to win Yankee acceptance, and he was quick to 'admonish when they failed in such objectives. He criticized the employment practices of the Boston Police Department by noting that "out of the entire city, one-half of which is Irish, there are only two inspectors and four sergeants of Irish birth or descent, while out of 70 officers in the state there is only one of Irish birth and he holds the lowest grade." Often O'Reilly scored the public education system for generating prejudice against the Irish and the Catholic Church. The hiring policies of Boston's Department of Education also drew his criticism. In 1885 he observed that although the majority of students in BostQn's Turn to Page Ten

Cites· Position of Church In ·Politics and Economics particularly with regard to the issue of the legality of abortion. "What must be avoided," Archbishop Bernardin said, "whether in the courts or in the halls of Congress, is the impression that the Catholic Church expects civil law to embody divine law as read by Catholic theologians or the magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church. Our efforts should be directed at persuading citizens, law makers and judges that we oppose abortion on the same kind of grounds as one opposes slavery, or euthanasia, or geno· cide or infanticide. It is il matter of basic human rights which transcend denominational interests." The archbishop was a speaker at the fifth Ecumenical Institute

CINCINNATI (NC) - The Church's role in temporal affairs is not that of a law giver nor of a higher authority with a right to correct decisions and actions of the civil government, Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati told an ecumenical meeting here. . The Church's role, he said, is that of a people, God's people, attempting to render services to the human family in the light of the Gospel. The archbishop, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, spoke on "The Ethics of Economics and Politics." Secular humanists, he said, suspect the Church of seeking to "structure and consolidate" society according to divine law,

The words of Jesus Christ, "Whatsoever you have done to these, the least of my brethren, you have done to me,"are "the true basis of Christian action in the contemporary political and social order," Archbishop Bernardin said. The archbishop said that the principle embodied in those words was the motivation for the involvement of "church peo· pie" in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. "The 'church people' were not there because they saw an opportunity 'to structure the human community according to divine law,''' the archbishop said, "but because they had developed Turn to Page Two

LIBERTY and JUSTICE FOR ALL by Father Maynard Geiger, O.F.M. Several years ago [ received a letter from a gentleman ~n New York saying he Ihad heard that I had dn ilhe Santa Barbara Mission Archive a copy of a letter sent by Father Jun'ipero Serra to Genera,1 George Washington.. He wondered if he could obta·in a copy of it. I was amazed. Had such '18 Jet· ter eXlisted, ,it would surely have been published 'long ago. ·On JU'ly 4, 1776, Father Serra was saHing aJlong the Pad~ic Coast between Monterey and San Diego, totaHy obHvious to the events in Philade'lph'ia. Neither Father Ser:ra nor General Washington knew of the other':; work. The Atlantic and Pacific shores were both populated by non-Indians 'in 1776. But the differences between the two coloniaJ ~eas in pol'itica'l viewpoints, reli~on and language, and itlhe vast physiool separation by rnounta~n ranges, deserts and plains, would have justified one in saying: Never ,the twa1in shall meet.

Father Serra Cathollic Christianity dn the present state of Ca\:tf~a took root on July 16, 1769, when Father Serra planted t'he cross on a hilltop above the iha'rhor of San -Diego. Contrary to a commonly held opinion, Spa'in did not come to Ca,lifomia pl1imariJy to pIant the Catholic religion. She moved ,in to create a buffer st'ate ·ror what was then known as New Spain (today Mexico) against the threat of Russian 'aggressiontirom the north. In the process, however, she aliso wished to implant the Cathoi'ic faith among the naNves and to ciV'iJIize them on the Spanish pattern. This work w~s commended to the Froooiscan missionaries of tlhe Cd11ege of San Fernando, Mexico City, who were already laboring in Lower California (the peninsula, whioh is stiUa part of Mexico).

Eaoh mission was guarded by a corporal and five soldiers, one of whom was in charge of the mission's economic affairs. Seven Missions By the end of December, 1776, seven missions had been fou'nded: San Diego, July 16, 1769; San Carlos, Monterey-Carmel, June 3, 1770; San Antonio, July 14, 1771; San Gabriel near present Los Angeles, Sept. 8, 1771; San Luis Obispo, Sept. 1, 1772; San Francisco, Oct. 4, 1776 'and San Juan Capistrano. Nov. 1, 1776. There were no civi'J.ian settlements, Ibut three presidios were founded along with the missions of the same name at San Diego, Monterey and San Fr,ancisco. Frpm the very beginning t'here were misunderstandings and con'fHcts between the missionaries and the miJ,itary. By 1772 these reached the point that Father Serra was ,forced to ,return to Mexico to obtain£rom 1:Jhe new viceroy, Anton'io Maria BucareH y Ursua, a freer hand for the missionary enterprise.

The f,~nd provided 1,000 pesos for the establishment of each mission and 350 pesos a year for tihe salary of eaoh missionary. The missionaries' 'sa'lar,ies were used to purchase items needed by the concert Indians. Ships brought supplies from Mexico each yea,r for t'he presidios and missions.

Aid to Indians The missionaries attra'cted 1:Jhe Indians from the native villages to the mission settlements, by kind treatment -and gifts. They gave rudimentary 'instruction in the CathoiJic faith before Baptism. There was daily Mass and instructions and the feast of 1:Jhe Chul'Ch were colorfu>1'ly celebrated. At the missions the Indians bui:lt their traditional huts. Only later could they be ,induced to build adobe houses with tile roofs after 1Jhe Spanish manner. Simple woolen clothing was provided for them a~ong with three regular meals a day, supplemented by food of their choice obtained by 'hunting, fishing and seed gathering. Succor for Soldiers The missionaries attended also to the spiritual needs of the soldiers and their famtlies, for no diocesan priests had been suppl'ied by the government. A dqctor at Monterey was the sole physioian in 'the 'area. By the end of 1776 at San Diego 461 Indians !had been baptized and 115 ChrisHan marl'iages performed. By the end of 1776 the mission had 498 livestock and a develop,ing agricuJ.ture. The other missionsgradually developed aIong the same lines. The great Anza expedition of 1775-1776 brought soldiers' and families from Sonora, Mexico to found Presidio San Francisco and -later {he civ.iJian pueblo of San Jose. Most of the 177 persons in this expedition remained 'in Upper California. Exact statistics on the Catholic poPUlJ>ation ~n Caltifornia by the end of 1776 are unavaHable, since t,wo mission registers' are no longer ext'ant. But available eVJidence suggests that the total number of Catholics by that time, botih Indians and Spaniards, was about 1,900. When the Amer,ican Revolution began, California was s~ill pure mission territory with only seven years of missionary work behind it.

VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY FORMS: Vietnamese priests and Brothers are greeted by Bishop Bernard F. Law of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Mo., as they arrive at Our Lady of the Ozarks Seminary, Carthage, Mo., where they will establish their community. The priests and Bro.thers are members of the Congregation of the Blessed Mother Coredemptrix, a Vietnamese order founded in 1954. A total of 174 of its 606 members are refugees and will live in the former Oblates of Mary Immaculate seminary.

Vietnamese Religious Need Sponsors WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. Catholic bishops have been urged to give special attention to the sponsorship and resettlement needs of Vietnamese priests, Religious and s~inarians now in the four refugee camps in this country. It is estimated that there are more than 300 priests, Brothers, Sisters and seminarians in the camps,. according to a letter to the :bishops from Bishop James S. Rausch, general secretary of the National Conference of Cath· olic Bishops ~NCCB). Bishop Rausch's letter accompanies a report prepared by Bishop Robert E. Tracy, chairman of the NCCB Committee for Migration and Tourism. Bishop Tracy, retired bishop of Baton Rouge, La., has been designaed the conference's special liaison for the resettlement of Vietnamese priests, Religious and seminarians.

Statistics in Bishop Rausch's letter, based on a survey' by Bishop Tracy of conditions at the refugee camp in Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., and information on the other three camps supplied by the U. S. Catholic Conference's Migration and Refugee Services, show that there are 68 Vietnamese priests and 104 Vietnamese Brothers in the four camps. In addition, there are 40 Sisters and 56 seminarians in three 'of the camps and a large but undetermined number in tht" fourth, Fort Chaffee, Ark. Both Bishop Rausch and Bishop Tracy noted that, although the priests, Religious and seminarians need immediate sponsorship in order to'be released from the camps, their final resettlement cannot be determined until it is known where there will be concentrations of Vietnamese laity. "When a refugee accepts spon-

sorship," Bishop Tracy's report said, "he is simply anxious to get out of camp and start learning English; he knows little or nothing about the U.S.A., the sponsor or his diocese, -order of parish. It would be unwise to consider

permanent resettlement under such circumstances. "However, most refugees, it is expected, will remain with their original sponsors and minister eventually to both Vietnamese and American people."

Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River presided and gave the final commendation at the con· clusion of the concelebrated Mass of Christian Burial offered on Tuesday morning in St. Brendan's Church, Dorchester for the late JaJInes M. Buckley, the father of Rev. James F. Buckley, assistant pastor at St. Joan of Arc Church, Orleans'. Father Buckley was principal concelebrant. Numerous members of the clergy from witJbin the Diocese and outside concel· ebrated. Among the concelebrants was Rev. Char,les E.

Values and School More and more in educational systems there is increasing emphasis on values. It seems that educators realize that an education that gives information alone is only part-edu·cation.. If education is for living and living involves choices and decisions and judgments and these presuppose a value system, then education must do something about values and standards. And so. many schools are introducing discussion periods and courses known as "moral dilemmas" or "moral education" or "value clarification." Evangelists of the movement are such figures as Dr. Sidney Simon of the University of Massachusetts and Dr. Lawrence Kohlberg of Harvard and Harold Lasswell of Yale. It is good that educators and those concerned with the development of the whole student, the whole person, are trying to do something about the area of moral growth and development. It is good that they recognize that education cannot be absolutely secular, cannot divorce itself from decisions based on values. It is good that they see the one-sidedn~ss of feeding the intellect while neglecting the will. It is good that at long last they are responding to the old apology that has been heard far too often and far too loudly over past decades from seemingly intelligent and professedly good men - I was only following orders. It is good that they see that the consciences of men exist and must bear accountability for actions. The'only rub iIi the present situation is - what values? It is difficult to talk about value judgements unless there is~ some clear idea of what are the values by which one should live, what standards against which one should make judg. ments and decisions. All this calls for some' absolutes, some principles established in the' light of belief in God and man's accountability before God. What are these to be? In .the Catholic school system there is no problem. The atmosphere of the classroom is one.that is God-oriented. The ten commandments and the sacraments and the cr~ed, safeguarded and presented by the Church, sum up the rev.elation that God has given for the guidance of man.. These give the values that one must have, the standards against which to judge one's actions, the light in whicn to make decisions. But what values have validity in the public school system? If, as happens in many of the value and discussion courses today, every answer that is given to a moral problem is accepted as valid; if the discussions are open-ended without coming to conclusions; then, one asks, of what value is the value course? It is commendable if the public school system tries to arrive at certain standards about certain basic moral situations. It is to be hoped that people of good will will see and accept these as desirable. Certainly the vast majority of teachers will project these values in their personal lives and thus influence their students for the good. Bu( it is difficult to see how the whole range of values can be treated in anything other than a professedly religious schooL And the parents are still the ones who must impart the values and cannot expect the school to assume QY default what they themselves do not do.

Local oline and other fuel oil products.

Oil Prices Manipulated to Hit Vacationeers During the season of the year when most Americans are on vacation and buy more gasoline, it seems that the oil companies have manipulated refinery output so they could raise retail gasoline prices as much as seven cents a gallon. One estimate has it that the oil companies have cut back the refining of gasoline hy as _much as 15 per cent. In addition to this situation there is evidence that the oil industry is storing up stocks of "old crude oil" under the ceiling price of $5.25 a har-

WASHINGTON (Ne) - Both the Connecticut and New Hampshire legislature have passed bills to reinstate prayer periods in public schools. It is expected that the governors of the two New England states will sign the bills shortly. The Connecticut bill requires that time be set aside eacb day in the state's public schools for "meditation." Gov. Ella Grasso said she will sign the bin, which passed the Connecticut House of Representatives by a margin of 88 to 56, and the Senate by 28 to six. The New Hampshire bill permits the voluntary recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public elementary schools at the option of local school districts. The New Hampshire Senate approved the House-passed bill on an 18 to 5 roll call vote. Gov. Meldrin Thomson indicated he will sign the bill.

Irish Children LONDON (NC) - A group of 28 school children from embattled sections of Northern Ireland flew to North America June 26 for a six week, expense-free holiday. Tbe concept of shuttling children away from the violence in Northern Ireland grew from the initiative of a Belfast housewife, Sa,rah Hughes, who wrote to more than 50 American and Canadian newspapers three years ago about the plight of the children in her city.

Pilgrimsl Hymns Encourage Pope VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI 'has stated that the hymns of the pilgrims in St. Peter's Square, which he can hear in his apartment are a great consolation to him and a natural and beautiful expression of faith. At his regular Sunday noon talk to a large crowd waiting in St. Peter's Square for the Angelus, the Pope said that these simple sung prayers! "at once collective and still deeply personal" mean "that prayer is indispensably necessary." He continued: "Human life cannot exist without this mysterious but fruitful conversation with God ... In times of adversity, our spirit cannot have any hope except in His transcendent providence. And at the moment when our spirit mistakenly rejoices in its own self-sufficiency and proclaims its own wealth, it should remember that all riches, including those earned by man himself, are debts to be acknowledged before the giver of all that is good." . Speaking from the window of his study above the great square, he referred to the square as a "privileged spot on .earth." The Pope told the pilgrims that prayer gives them new confidence in their outlook on life, a grand concept of their existence and destiny and an orderly world-view "that finds in God its deepest and best reason for existence."

Pop'e Pa uI Urges Strong Witness VATICAN CITY (NC)-Christians, and especially Catholics, must ·be spiritually and morally strong and fearless to witness to Jesus, Pope Paul VI said recently. At a general audience at 6 p.m. on St. Peter's Square, Pope Paul told 'about 50,000 people:: "A Chr,istian, and especially a Catholic, lnU5t be strong-spiritually and morally strong. A follower of Christ must not be af,raid ... He is invested with the task of witnessing which liberates him from shy,ness and from opportunism and suggests to him both words and conduct at the right moment,coming forth from an interior spring whic-h he, perhaps, did not know existed before it was tested." The Pope, speaking' loudly and enthusiastically, said: "The modern tendency to abol'ish every ethical and per·sonal ef·fort - an exception. is in the world of sport which is good but it is not enough-is not a prelude to true 'human progress." He questioned his listeners: "Could the concept of a weak Christianity be legitimate - a Christianity timid and afraid of its own shadow? "I's there perhaps a new true Christianity which in practical terms is willing to give in' to every type of conformism in encounters with the world around jt?.. A Christianity which desires to profit from every chance to make a good Slhowing, to earn the upper hand, to save trouble, to go ahead at full speed?" Departing from his prepared text, the Pope answered: "We want Christians to be strong.

Cardinal Defends Christian Marriage PARIS (NC)-Making divorce easier is no way to impwve the chances 'Of sucoess -in marl'i'ed :life, Cardinal Francois Mar,ty of Paris said in an lnterview here. The cardinal, who is chairman of ,the French Bishops' Conference, was replying ,to questions posed by the French press agency Agence France-Presse. He was interviewed shor.t1y before the Senate voted 212 t'O 31 in favor of a governmentsponsored divorce reform boill that had already passed the' ),ower . house, ,the National Assembly. ",lam convinced that it is not by facilitating divorce and by making it commonplace -that you can improve .the chances of success in the Hfe of ·a couple," the cardinal commented. It is necessary for the lawmakers, he :said, to take into consideraNon fli,ilures in marriage, and it is a good thing 10 abolish the hypocritical procedures used in legal s'eparatim~s. But it is also necessary, the cardinal 'said, to provide a national policy on the family and to choose, yes or no, whether one bel'ieves ,in the family as ".the basic social unit." "This supposes 'an ensemble of lsocial measures .in aid of the family, but 'a1so a marriage that is not only a contract," he said. "·For Catholics, it Js and remains a definiHve comill'itment before God. "The Church will continue to promote Christian marriage."

The approved ver:sions of the b'ill in both the Senate and the Assembly provide for divorce by mutual consent, wirhout fau),t. Another new ground for divorce ,is "rupture" of a marriage by a phy,sical separ:aiui'on of at leaSit six years or by the mental illness of one of the partners. In the interview Cardinal Marty reaffirmed the French bishops' opposition t'O artificial contraception.

Urged to Honor Jesuit Explorer SPRlINGFIELD (NC)-The IlIinois Knights of Columbus have been asked to promote a worthy memorial to the famed D;lissionary and explorer Jesuit Father Jacques Marquette. Hlinois' secretary of state Michael J. Howlett spoke to the Knights of Columbus state convention on the eve of the 300th anniversary of Father Marquette's death, on May 18, 1675. Calling ;Father Marquette "the first great figure of our IlIinois heritage," Howlett declared that "his life and works should .be made known to the minions who have followed him into TIlinois." He said a suitable memorial would be a worthy project for the IlIinois Knights. "Marquette's unselfish, saintly life should be an eX'ample to all of us to use wisely the wonderful resources of our state," Howlett said.

"The pill is now given at the .age of 13," he commented. "'Who can gJ~ assurance that an adolescent girl is really free ,today in the sexool domain? "'Let us admit that she is relieved of ,the ',taboos' and ignor:ance that yesterday was a burden on sexuality. "Is 'She not today eVidently conditioned ... by the encompassing eroticism? She cannot make a really free choice." (Doctors and birth-control centers were recently given government 'permission to give cont113.oepHvesand birth-control advice to adolescent girls free of charge when the girls do not want their parenus to leam of thek actions.)

FARGO (NC)-Bishop Justin A. Driscoll of Fargo, N.D., has asked U. S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun to take the initiative in reversing the 1973 Supreme Court decision striking down most state restrictions on abortion. lIn a letter to Blackmun, who wrote the majority opinion in the 1973 case, Bishop Driscoll urged him "to take the initiative or give the leadership in turning back the decision you wrote, today so properly and so frequently labeled as 'bad law, bad morality, and bad medicine.''' BJoackmun had said the people of the United States ~'are in moral and ethical confusion" and that the Supreme Court's abortion decision "was a constitutional analysis, not a moral one." Blackmun had added: "'But law has moral overtones and a conflict between morality and constitutional law at times would seme to be inevitable." Bishop Driscoll said he agree5 that "there is a conflict between what you wrote in the majority opinion, Roe v. Wade, as regards what is now tragically the 'law of the land' in protecting unborn life and in what the followers of the JQdaeo-Christian ethic can accept." The bishop went on to say, however: "I cannot accept your implications that the United States Constitution is an immoral document, or that there is a conflict between the Constitution and the moral beliefs of our . people."

P"ojects Assist Hungry in India

Ign,ora,nce No Lo,nger Bliss 'Tis

NEW YORK (NC)-Two U.S.funded pilot nutrition projects to aid starving chilldren are under way in disaster-afflicted parts of India. ,Funded by the Sisters of Loretto and administered by Cath· olic Relief SerVices (eRS), over· seas aid and development agen· cy of U. S. Catholics, the Loretto Child-In-Need Projects are designed to bring emergency food supplies to more than 9,000 chill· dren in India where starvation has been caused by floods and ocought. The projects are being con· ducted on opposite sides of the Indian subcontinent through the Calcutta and Bombay offices of CRS. Naturai· disasters have inflicted the greatest suffer,ing among ohildren under the age of five, according to Gus C. E. HaIJ, director of the CRS Calcutta office. He added these chilocen face irreversible damage to their physica1 and menta'! health because of the ravages of prolonged starvation. InitiaUy, tihe Loretto Sisters funded the project forom $90,000 in their treeasury. An additional $90,000 will be raised by the 800-member American Relig,ious community by llibstaining from meat, fasting, and taking on extra work such as typing term papers for students, and poll· watching during looa.! electionS'. 'J1he CatJcutta and Bombay projects dilffer in several respects. In Calcutta the project is administered from 14 city· based centers. The main source of nutr.ition there is a low cost premix food supplement made from ingredients bought locaHy and prepared by the mothers of _the undernourished chiJdren. In Bombay, 1Jhe feeding project is carried out from 21 widely-separated and isolated centers in the drought stdoken Indian states of Gujerat and Madhya Pradoesh. The nutrition supplement there is an orange flavored, v.itamin and protein enriched ·biscuit that is eaten on the spot.

Folly to be Unwise

A belief which once prevailed in the Church was that faith could be preserved if certain ideas were kept away from people. This custom was exemplified by the Index of forbidden books, and more recently by novitiates and seminaries which censored the daily newspapers before ents should just turn off the TV, or hide the parts of the paper allowing them to circulate they don't want the kids to see. among students.

MARY CARSON cringe a bit at some of the things which are circulated. As I see it, it is virtually impossible to insulate myself or my family from any particular subjects or ideas. This is because of the age in which we live, a time bombarded with ,a continuous flow of information on every conceivable subject. Any child with a sixth grade reading level can follow Dr. Joyce Brothers' anti-war attitudes, and' why people divorceand remarry.

So the parents' job is, both by example and teaching, to give their children some background against which they can make their own value judgments on what they watch, listen to, and read. My own kids frequently amaze me by how fast they recognize and turn off garbage. Th'e impossibility of insulating people from ideas is undoubted· ly why the Church no longer maintains the Index and why seminarians and novices even go out on dates. Just as parents have, the Church has found that trying to "protect" people from certain information is futile., The only practical 'approach today is open communication in the belief that we can all learn to recognize and turn off the garbage.

There are a great many shoe sales now and I did pick up a lovely pair of navy dressy sanda,ls for less than half price. White shoes are something else -they have a very short season and they store poorly. I personaHy would rather invest in shoes that span all seasons, and there are surprisingly many of those on sale, along with the real summery looking ones.

Knits ar.e as popular as ever and in soine cases even more so.

"The crop situation may be easing this year, 'but we 'cannot forget the very real danger that growing food requirements are stretching the capacity of the world to feed itself," Sayed Marei told the council here June 25. Marei, an Egyptian, is president of the council, created at the behest of November's World Food Conference in Rome. The council's mandate is to survey and help improve the way men grow their ·food and share it with other men.

Illogical, Unfaithful Inconsistency.Between Faith and Works Is Christianity's Sin

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Mod· ern Christianity's great sin is failure to follow through from faith to good wo~ks, .pope Paul VI said in his general audience talk June 25. "What is the great sin of modern Christianity?" he asked. "It is the sin of being illogical, inconsistent and unfaithful. It is faith without works." Faith, the Pope added, must lead to fidelity. "Faith demands a profession, a logic of thought and life . . . ,a move from the mind to the will, a witness, effort, risk, resistance, sacrifice and a martyrdom, as so many generations of Christians have taught us." The Pope counseled that faith must be "clear, firm and stable" in the fact of doctrinal uncertainties.

But the aborigines' strong desire to see the Pope overcame their fear of the misadventures of technology, the priest said. During the four-day stop in Bombay, he added, a young aborigine was so saddened by the human suffering he saw in the Indian city that he cried for the entire time. According to Father Leary,. Western society would consider the boy who cried to be himself a victim of poverty.

SPRINGFIELD (NC)-The Illinois General Assembly approved a biB requiring the husband's or paJrent's censent before an abortion can be perfornned and another biN providing the loan of secular textbooks to 1llinois school children attending either public or nonpublric schools. The free textbook bill, passed by the Senate June 27, was a substitute for a House-approved bilJ providing annual cash grants to parents of parochial school dhilldren. Sen. Michael Brady (0- . Chicago), one' of the Senate sponsors of the substitute biB, has stated that the 'legislators decided on the textbook approach because of possible consNtutional challenges to the law. The House approved the free textbook bill in a 104-35 vote and it went to Gov. Dan Walker. Sponsors of the bill have said that about 15 per cent of the money 'appropriated for free textbooks would go to parochial school pupils. According to the new legislation, the IUinois Office of Education will draw up list of professionally accepted textbooks that the otiflCe wiLl lo,an to all school pupils in kindergarten, grammar or high schools upon legitimate request. Or. Charles Brady, secretary for educational affairs of the Illinois Catholic Conference commenting on the 'constitutionaHty of textbook legislation, said that the U. S.

In connection with that incident eight alleged members of the people's Revolutionary Party, which the government claimed was a COIllmunist front to promote rebellion in South Korea, were executed April 9, 1975. Two American missionaries, the Rev.

THE ANCHOR-Diotese of Fall River-Thurs. July 11, 1975

O'Reilly! Early and Strong Continued from Page One public schools were Catholics, only 200 of a total of 2300 of the teachers were Catholic. Nor had Boston yet appointed its first Catholic headmaster. As editor of The Pilot, he pointedly singled out the names of those business firms whose help wanted ads insisted that "no Irish need apply," Foe of Racism O'Reilly's Pilot gave extensive coverage- to Negro social and cui· tural activities, praised the appointm~nt of blacks to public office, and favored racial intermarriage. Following his 1886 Southern tour, when he witnessed segregation against the blacks in hotels, restaurants and theaters, O'Reilly advised blacks to mobilize politically. "If I were a colored man," he declared, "I should use political men, parties, as I would a club or hatchet, to smash the prejudice that dared to exclude my children from a public school, or myself from a public hall, theater, or hotel," With equal vigor he denounced anti-Negro demonstrations above the Ma30n-Dixon Line. He criticized seven Minnesota white students who protested against their school's granting of a diploma to a black student; was angered by the dismissal of a black cadet from West Point; and condemned New York policemen who threatened to strike rather than allow a Negro to join the force. Champion of Rights Quite unde.rstandably, O'Reilly's death in 1890 was viewed as a calamity by Roxbury's black community. In their tributes to O'Reilly his Negro friends compared him to William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips as a champion of Negro rights. As one of the few who spoke out for the rights of the American Indian during these years, O'Reilly attacked the practice of gaining valuable land concessions by means of "corn whiskey and firearms." When the battle of Little Big Horn made Indian rights a national issue, O'Reilly commended the Sioux for their skill in defeating Gen. George Custer in what he (fonsidered a fair fight. Of more concern to him was the possibility that Custer's death would prevent the public from properly considering the real issue; namely, that "treaties are broken up as soon as the ink is

also praised the Jewish businessman for his skill, honesty and integrity. He detested the racial slurs contained in the book, "The Jew," written by Telemaque T. Timavenis, a Harvard instructor; he denounced the treatment of Jews in Russia, Germany and Austria; and, he declared, when a New York owner refused accommodations to a Jewish businessman, "It is the duty of every liberal mind to condemn such an incident." John Boyle O'Reilly died sudrle~ly in 1890 at the age of 46, a man who envisioned the world as a community in which "all men are bound by gold chains not only to the feet of God, but to ·the feet of each other," For, as he declared, "There are no Classes or races, but one human brotherhood; there are no creeds- to be outlawed, no colors of skin debarred. Mankind is one in its rights and wrongs."

Some estimates place the number of children in Union suffering from parental neglect at 3,600. The grant to .Catholic Charities was made by the State Division of Youth and Family Services. It is part of $800,000 in state, federal and local funds being made available for the Union County Protective Services Demonstration Project. Six community agencies are invo'ved in the program.

Reporters, Newscasters Too Easy on Government

On Sunday evening, June 22, the David Suskind television talk show featured a spirited but remarkably courteous debate on the proper role of the media in covering the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, CIA, and other sensitive government agencies. The panelists balanced article in Commentary entitled "The Presidency and the were experienced journalists. Press."

..Response to Refugees .'Amazing' WASHINGTON (NC) - The coordinator of the resettlement program for Vietnamese refugees in the New Orleans archdiocese said she is "amazed" at the amount of assistance given by' the federal and local governments and by private citizens. The coordinator, Mrs. Elise Cerniglia, who also worked in the resettlement program for Cuban refugees, said that both government agencies and private citizens have responded more en· thusiastically to the plight of the Vietnamese refugees In an interview here, she said she has placed 30 families, comprising about 250 persons" in three- and four-bedroom houses in a su!xiivision in a predominantly black area. "I thought they might not. be accepted," Mrs. Cerneglia said, "but the people in the subdivision have brought curtains, groceries and been very friendly." The rent for the houses is being paid for by the U.S. Catholic Conference Migration and Refugee Services resettlement ,program under an arrangement with the federal government. "I'm trying to set up a community of Vietnamese that will be self-sufficient and able to purchase their own homes, Mrs. Cerniglia ,said. Under a special arrangement with the realtor, the rent for a four-bedroom house has been set at $100 for the first month and $125 for the second. It is ultimately to go to $175 a month. She said she has placed about 15 single men and 10 heads of households in jobs. Job opportu-

nities are plentiful, she said, but" housing remains a problem. The management of the Avondale shipyard, which constructs offshore drilling rigs, told herthat they could hire 100 persons, she said, but she has not been able to find housing for potential employees. Another problem, Mrs. Cerniglia said, is insufficient notice from the military camps housing

the refugees about the time of their arrival in New Orleans and the composition of the families arriving. "We're getting ready 10 open a summer camp for the refugee children," she said. "St. Joseph the Worker parish has a bus that will bring them to the parisb school where they will learn English and be involved in a recreation program."

She was ,a pretty little thing, a toddler just beginning to talk. For several minutes she babbled wh'ile I tidly tJ1ied to decipher what she was saying. Then suddenly it came through to me. SmHing in an innocent and engaging manner, she was repeating over and over an obscene phrase which, as they say, could not be printed in a fami'ly newspaper.

Good Examp.e in Home Let us begin with the obvious. Like it or not, for good or ill, education does occur in the horne. ChHdren, especia'1ly the very young, are teaming constantly from what they hear and observe. And the adults whom they hear and ()bserve most steadily and most inHmateiy are their parents. ,For a pM'ent this can be a rather frightening thought. Every parent wants to give his or her ohildren "good example." But it would be a mistake to leave the matter at that. What sort of "good example" are we talking about? If it comes down in practice to "Do as I say, not as I do" we are skating on thin ice. Example by Action - . ,For instance, what do we teach 'about education---'tJhe process of learning--'itself? Do we convey the idea tlhat ,it lisa worthwhile and even pleasurable a,ctiViity? Or, without intending ~t, do we communicate the message that it is reaJIly something onerousa burden to be borne when necessary but avoided wbenever possible?

BY MARY E. MAHER A whale's- stomach is not a likely digestive pot. For two centuries, the American educationa'! melting pot has brought. with -it a kind of whimpering, narcissistic Jonahlism. There has been a ma~ked tendency to stay ,inside the comfortable walls of an educaNonal model that ds mostly An~lo-American.

We now approach ,the Bicentennial and many options for reo understandiinlg Cathol,ic e'ducation ifie before us. It is root time.

We 'are thinking about a'ction that will make us grow into more mature American forms. Options T,wo options seem open. One is the retreat into the myth th(lt ethnic differences are melted down by faith in Christ. That myth is dead since we now know that the meaning of the Church is like the meaning of a Gerard Manley Hopkins poemthere is beauty in each culture that expresses the salvation and 'growth that Jesus brings us. The Church lis to invite out that beauty and growuh, not styl,ize ,it into fOl'ms appropriate to one or two cultures.

Cuban Issue Plagued by Guerrillas Violations of Human Rights Anti-Castro Cubans in the United States feel vindicated by the confirmation in a June report by the Organization of American States (OAS) that the Havana regime has engaged in systematic violation of human rights. While large sectors of public opinion and several international organizations have co~demned violations of human rights in Brazil, Chile and other dictatorships of the right, anti-Castro Cubans felt reports of torture and arbitrary imprisonment in Cuba were being ignored. The OAS report came out as the OAS was preparing for a July.meeting at San Jose, Costa Rica, to amend ,an inter-American treaty on mutual security. It should open the way to a lifting of the sanctions imposed on Cuba in 1964 for exporting revolution through the guerrillas it trained. It will mean the OAS no longer regards the Castro regime as a danger to other governments in the Americas. That is a point of view many Cubans abroad and conservative leaders in Chile, Uruguay and other nations contest. They point to the mid-June meeting in Havana of 24 top communists from'Latin America who resolved to fight "American imperialism" as the main common enemy, anil to continue to

struggle for revolution in each of their countries. There were two significant changes over past meetings of the same leadership. The June declaration spoke of using "legal opportunities" in the struggle, and of accepting an alliance with socialists and others if they respected the communist ideology. It praised actions by nationalist governments to take control of their country's natural resources, such as oil in Venezuela. The leaders said "the unity of all leftist forces is more essential than ever." However, the June declaration approved of armed violence if necessary-to fight what it called counter revolutionary violence. It spoke of the "Fascist brutality" in Brazil and Chile. Exiled anti-Castro Cubans now feel vindicated by the OAS human rights commission report. Basing its conclusions on, detailed lists presented to the Castro government in April and October of last year, the OAC commission wrote' that such evidence "constitutes a most grievious case of violations against the right to life, to freedom, to the security and integrity of the human person," It also denounced practices by Cuban authorities in violation of "equality before the law, of common justice, of protection against arbitrary arrest and imprisonment without due process."

A Bi-Centennial ChQllenge' Continued from Page Thirteen cultural education an additive, not ,the base of Catholic education. It !has somehow become a 1970 version of our 1950's version of making Oabhalic math hooks "Cathol'k" by adding saInts 'and statistics to each other. ' Catholic education, when true to its roots, attempts to assist (.h'ildren to understand and value different expressions in which men fulfill human needs. Octavio Paz, <the Mexican poet, will present the spirit of his people, in a different way than Rilke. Yet both are enormously rich in cultural diversity. Cathol'ic educaHon is tonal, the '1.ived expressions of the ,belief that tJhe Lord is incarnate ,in all cultures inviting them to fUlHness of Life. Education which ,is based on a cu1{uraHy pluralis,t!ic 'approach is able to prepare ohi'ldren to reflect upon Their lives dn a multicultural society. It asks that concepts be learned from experience that is true to whatever culture one is ,a part of.

Cardinal Cody Asserts Authority In School Closing Controversy CHICAGO (NC) - Cardinal John Cody of Chicago has asserted his authority as head of the archdioce:;e to close four Catholic schools on the city's South Side. The closing of the schools, all of them with mostly black or Spanish-speaking students, had created a controversy here. The organization called the Catholic Community of Englewood, where the schools are ,located, had opposed the school closings. On June 2, the archdiocesan school board voted to ask Cardinal Cody to suspend plans to close the four schools after opposition from the parishes. On June 21 the school board recommended that two of the four schools not be closed and criticized what it called "poor communication" in the an· nouncement--of the closing. The Englewood community asked the archdiocesan priests' senate to grant a hearIng concerning the schools closings. At that hearing, held June 23, a statement from the cardinal emphasized that both the priests' senate and the school board are only consultative bodies. The statement said that his decision had been made in the framework of a much broader view than that represented by any of the involved groups. The cardinal's views were ex· pressed in a statement read by Msgr. Francis A. Brackin, vicar general and delegate of the arch-

bishop for administmtive matters at the June 23 meeting of the priests' senate. The archdiocese had announced May 9 that the four schools would be closed after the 1974-75 school year because of declining enrollment and mounting economic problems. The parish schools involved contend that they were not informed of the decision until May 10. The statement read by Msgr. Brackin at the priests' senate meeting at River Forest, IlL, said that the priests' senate is a consultative body which is allowed by the cardinal to prepare its own agenda. "He never intended," the statement said, "in giving this latitude, which is far more tlian that suggested in the Roman documents on presbyteral senates, that this would be misused; and the archdiocesan school board, even though its constitution mentions it is a policy·making agency, is also, when analyzed, only a consultative agency." Msgr. Brackin said his appearance at the meeting was not to be interpreted as meaning that the cardinal is granting to any group the power to review or change "the official decision of the Ordinary (bishop) which was made after due consideration and study. His decision was made in ,the f.clmework of a much broader view than is represented by any of the involved groups."

Besides condemning the Patriarch incident the bishops condemned other outbursts of "hate, intolerace and violence" against Ca,thoJ.ics and against Catholic leaders in Portugal. They added that such violence jeopardized the bagic freedom of the Church to carry out its work. Before the Patriarch incident, the bishops had issued a statement during a meeting at Fatima. They denounced "totalitarian developments which endanger the revolution's original ideals."

Pope Paul VI Says Holiness Possible for All VATICAN CITY (NC) - Not all can b'e canonized staints but all can be saintly, Pope Paul VI told some 60,000 persons at a weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square. The Pope said the basic demand not only of the 1975 Holy Year but of Christianity itself .is sanctity. He argued that it is possible to live everyday lives in such a way as to attain sanctity. ' '\First of 'nIl it ~s not true, that sanctity is impossible. Read the lives of the saints and see how they experienced ... our same di'fficulties, our weaknesses, and how they succeeded, apart from extraordinary mIracles and charism, to earn the designation of saints." The Pope added: "There is a sanctity we may caB ordinary because, while it too is woven into an extraordinary dual design, is accessihle to aU." . SpeHing out the two elements of this "dual design," Pope Paul stated: "The first is grace, tJhe state of grace, the life of grace which faith and sacraments give one and which prayer feeds and expresses ... "Second is our desIre, that is to say our personal moral life. Our religion does not merely impose precepts and threatened punishments upon this Hfe but also infuses light, energy, comfort, charism into it." The Pope said holiness "demands this very first duty-to desire it." He added: "To desire this means to love. Human love, sparked by divine love, which is dharity, holds the secret of perfection and sums up the whole duty of man and aU natural honesty. This is the sum and the first precept of Christ: Love God, love your neighbor."

• Pope Paul and Gromyko Discuss Church In

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko discussed the position of the' Catholic Church in the Soviet Union, disarmament and peace in a onehour meeting here June 28. Their talk came at a time when stepped;up persecution of religious groups has been reportedly taking place in the Soviet Union, including renewed persecution of Lithuanian Catholics. Coincidentally, just as Gromyko's five-car motorcade pulled throught the Vatican Gate of the Bells at 6 p.m., about 500 Lithu-

anian exiles were participating in a Holy Year'Mass in the crypt of St. Peter's Basilica. The meeting was the fifth between Pope Paul and Gromyko. Besides discussion of the Church's status in the Soviet Union, the Pope and the foreign minister 'discussed peace "with special reference to the problem of the Middle East and to the conference on European security," said Vatican spokesman Federico Alessandrini. The Vatican has always, advocated a peace settlement in the Middle East which respects the rights of all 'parties involved.

Linked to this, the Holy See has called for a special status, internationally guaranteed, for Jerusalem and the Holy Places. The Soviets would like to see an independent state established

Mother Teresa Cites P'overty in Resolution MEXICO CITY (Nt) - A ',revised draft resolution on "women in poverty" was submitted to a committee of the International Women',s Year Conference here by' Mother Teresa of Calcutta June 28. Mother Teresa is a member of the Papal delegation to the conference. "Extreme poverty constitutes an obstacle to the enjoyment of basic human rights," the resolution said. It made an urgent appeal to all men and women to "give Pf,iority to those women whO; with their families, live under ,an intolerable yoke of poverty." An earlier draft of the resolution called upon governments to eliminate the causes of poverty "that threaten the God given dignity of women, men, and children." But a coalition of delegates, headed by the representatives from the Soviet Union said that although they respected the belief 1n God, the dignity of women, men, and children "is not God given but a result of civilization." Because of this resistance the term was deleted from the resolution.
