Father Coady Rites • Today In Fall River Most Rev. Daniel A. Cron'in, Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River was the principal' celebrant of the concelebrated funeral Mass for Rev. Francis M. Coady, 1ate pastor of SS. Peter and Paul Parish, Fall River, who died unexpededly

REV. FRANCIS M. COADY

late Saturday night in St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River. ,Rev. Ronald A. Tosti, associate pas-tor at SS. Peter and Paul Church, FaH River was the hommst at the ponti{icaI Mass concelebrated this morning in SS. Peter and ·Paul Church, Fall River. The homilist, F'ather Tosti stressed the gentleness and hum'Hity of Father Coady and dissolved the paradox of death that is entitled loss and gain. His beloved mother, brothers and relatives, his devoted parishioners and his innumetable friends are inclined to accept loss while Father Coady's way of life should instill gain. On the glorious day of dedication less than three months ago, your beloved Bishop stated that "there were even- those who placed more power in the oonsuming flames of fire than they did in the all-consuming faith of the people of SS. Peter and Paul's fold." But that fold had a true shepherd-'a Christlike leader and by Tum to Page Four

Inaugurate Pilot Program For" Catholic Counseling With the encouragement and support of Bishop Cronin, the Diocesan Department ofSocial Services and Special Apostolates is pleased to announce the beginning of a "pilot program" geared to the possible establishment of a full time Catholic Counseling Service throughout the Diocese. The immediate purpose of this Program is to obtain data on the value and need such a service might or might not have in the eyes of the clergy and people. If the need becomes clearly evident, plans will be formulated to expand these services. The Catholic Counseling Services exists to provide professional services in pastoral and family counseling under Catholic auspices. The services are focused on helping individuals work through problems of various degrees of intensity on all levels of personal, family, occupational, and social concern. Mental health services are offered through counseling sessions or by referrals to appropriate sources. Counseling is available by appointment, at minimal cost to any person who can benefit from such services.

However, no person will be turned away because of inability to pay. This Program carnes under the umbrella of the Department of Social Services and Special Apostolates. It will be operated through the Catholic Social Service Offices in New Bedford and Fall River. Mr. John M. Clements, Director of Social Casework for the New Bedford Office for the past fifteen years, is the Director of the Program. Mr. Clements holds a Masters Degree in Counseling from Suffolk University. Reverend Maurice T. Lebel, S.J. Rector of Bishopu Connolly High School, Fall River, will be associated with Mr. -elements on a parttime basis. Fr. Lebel received his Masters Degree in Psychology from the University of Detroit. Further information on this Program may be obtained from either Catholic Social Services, 368 North Main Street, Fall River, MA 02720 (676-8481) or 628 Pleasant Street, New Bedford, MA 02740 (997-7337).

Diocese Announces More Grants for Religious His 'Excellency, t!he Most Reverend iDaniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, has transmitted grants to the general and provincial superiors of twentyseven congregations of religious sisters and brothers represented in the Diocese of Fall River. The grants were made possible by the generous - response of -!'he faithful of the Diocese of Fall River to the Easter Collection, taken up in churches' throughout the Diocese this year and last. Bishop Cronin had appealed to residents of the Diocese to enable him to fulfill the pledge made to the communities of sisters and religious brothers laboring in Diocesan apostol-ates of $150,000 to assist in care for elderly, retarded and sickly members. When it became apparent that religious communities th;oughout the country were faced with grave financial concern in providing good care for aging mem'bers, Bishop Cronin determined

,to initiate a program that would both respond to the need in a realistic manner and, at the same time, would be proportionate to the limited financial resources available. He pledged the sum of $150,000, over a twoyear period, as a tangible sign of tlhe support of the Diocese of Fall River to the religious congregations !aboring in the Di· ocese. This substantial amount was described as the very best possible means that could be pledged to this noble cause by the Diocese. First payment on the pledge was made a year ago, and now, with the opening of the fiscal year in Diocesan accounts, the final distribution has been made. The program of direct aid has been identified as a unique one in the United States Ohurch. Commenting upon the program, Bishop Cronin attributed its success to the remarkah~e generosity of the f'aithful in the Tum to Pase Two

Pope Paul Warns Faithful Against False Liberty VATICAN CITY (NC)-Popc Paul, in an impasioned appeal .to Catholics to rekindle love for God's Church, called for a halt to "the disobedience called liberty." He declared: "Our first love must be that whioh Christ had for the Church itself, giving His life for her." The Pope, speaking at his regular weekly evening audience, July 16, exclaimed: "Enough of these disintegrating interpretations of pluralism. Enough of these self-inflicted ruptures of Catholics from their indispensable cohesiveness. Enough of the disobedience calle4 liberty. "Their is need today more than ever to build, not demolish the one and only Catholic Church. Love resuscitated and reinvigorated within the holy Church of God must be our first postjubilee action." '(The current Holy Ycar is a year of jubilee.) Pope Paul said that when Christ declared His intention to build His Church, He meant-"the entire human family assembled within the unity that He made the basis of this mysterious, immense, stupendous sacrifice which is His Ohurch." He continued: "We must, in obedience to a first Christian duty, reconstruct, rekindle love within the Church of God." Pope Paul greeted a group. of pilgrims from Philadelphia led by Cardinal John Krol and two of his auxiliaries, Bishop Gerald Vincent McDevitt and Bishop John J. Graham. He also greeted a ,group from Galtup, N. M., led by Bishop Jerome Joseph Hastrich. Spiritual Joy "'J1he United States is represented by the archdiocesan pilgrimages from PhHadelphia and by a group from the Diocese of Gal'lup. We pray that the spiritual joy of t'he jubilee be yours in full measure, to share with your families and friends." 'Speaking to Ukrainians who had come to Rome from various countries, the Pope told them: "Your pilgr.image to the tombs of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and your visit to us today are eloquent proof of your firm attachment to the faith of your faVhers, namely to Christ and to this Apostolic See. "Your presence here shows how much you are a part of the universa'l Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, which you enrioh with the contribution of your own liturgy and traditions. ,In a very special manner we pray for you, your relatives and all our Catholic sons and daughters of the Ukrainian rite in their homeland and throughout the world. We are well aware of how heroically they have borne, and are bearing, their share of the cross of Christ. We remember the loyalty and the constancy of the faithful, of the priests and of the bishops of your glorious Church."

Virgil Elizondo, Director of the MexicanAmerican Cultural Center, Texas, will speak to the uniqueness of ~ac;h culture. We cannot blend into one 'melting pot'.

A Vision of Man The American-Soviet joint space venture has some interesting aspects. It is remarkable, of course, that the two nations could and would work in such a close and critical operation. It is remarkable, also, that the language problem became not an obstacle but a 'challenge to cooperation. And it is unusual that the Soviet shot, until now so shrouded in secrecy, was open for all - well, almost all - to see.

Rev. James Haddad, Director of the Pastoral Institute on Boston Archdiocese, will explain the outward expression of Faith and the components of believing. Most Rev. John D'Arcy, Auxiliary Bishop of the Boston Archdiocese, will examine with us prayer, doubt, and the emotional and spiritual maturity needed for a personal, vibrant faith.

The world over the last few years has become somewhat blase with space projects. These marvels of modern science and technology were actually boring to many persons whose concerns were on the more mundane things of earth - the price of oil and gas and the cost of bacon and mortgages. It actually became a case of what is really stupendous becoming a ho-hum affair. . This recent venture has restored something of the glamor to the unusual. And the emphasis on the human element, men of two nations working in such close concert, showing pictures of wives and families, expressing themselves in unfamiliar languages but with the greatest of sincerity - all this has given the sophisticated business of space exploration a backyard quality, a homey small-town aspect, one easily translated in everyday terms and easily identified with because of the people involved. It would seem that this latest joint program has made space travel more human. For the first time in the history of space flight there was somethir:tg - not a whole lot but a little - of the spirit_ of Charles Lindbergh's "We." The technology of the whole project gave way to the spirit of the people involved. Things like courage and friendliness and sincerity came through on this flight as on no other. People were conscious of the people involved while the technicians, necessary and appreciated as they were, seemed to take a back seat. And it is very important and vital to the peace that should exist among nations for the person' and his qualities to take center stage. It reminds one of what William Faulkner once wrote, "I believe that man will not merely endure, he wilt prevail. He is immortal not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.'?

This is the vision of man projected by this joint American-Soviet space flight. It is a vision touching and true. And may it be a vision that captures the minds and imaginations of men the world over and guide their actions.

Forgiveness

Premier Yitzhak Rabin's recent trip through one of the notorious concentration camps of Nazi Germany gave the world a moving and an eloquent example of forgiveness. After seeing the horrors which many of his countrymen had. endured first hand, the Premier of Israel said that while the past cannot and should not be forgotten it was of the past and people must look to the present and forward to the future. This is the sentiment of a man filled with a spirit that all people would do well to emulate.

Such a future you will rejoice in because in the past you had a pastor who taught the real meaning of happiness that he exemplified in his perpetual and ·habitual practice of gentleness, humility and meekness.

A graduate of St. Patrick's Parochial School, Fall River and Msgr. James Coyle High School, Taunton, he received his training in the classics at Providence College and then attended St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore for philosophical and theological courses. Ordination Following ordination on Dec. 22, 1945 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, he was first assigned to St. James Parish, New Bedford. He then spent the next 19 years as assistant pastor in the following parishes on Cape Cod: Our Lady of the Assumption, Osterville; St. Peter the Apostle, Prov-incetown; St. Joan of Are, Orleans and Our Lady of Victory, Centerville.

Deplores Discord ALLENTOWN (NC) - Divisions among Christians "have provided the proponents of religion with a convenient and effective weapon a,gainst all religion," Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia said here. In a sermon on the occasion of the reconciliation to the Catholic Church of a Greek Catholic parish formerly independent of any higher Church authority, Cardinal Krol said that "Christian discord openly contradicts the will of Christ."

Christian responses to 'Liberty and' Justice For All', theme for the Catholic Bicentennial, will be challenged by Rev. Bryan Hehir, Director of Justice and Peace, Washington, D. C., Dr. David O'Brien, Associate Professor, Holy Cross, Worcester, Rev. Robert King, lecturer and author, Exeter, N.H. and Most Rev. Bernard J. Flanagan, Bishop of Worcester.

Registration for Congress participation ($12.50 per person) and hotel accommodations ($19.00 two persons, $14.00 sin'gle,) must be completed by August I, 1975. These forms have been sent to all clergy, prinoipals, and coordinators. Additional forms are available at the Catholic Education Center. Buffet lunches will be set up Saturday and Sunday noon in the hotel dining areas. There are also many dining places surrounding the Civic Center. E~hibitors will be in the Exhibition Hall both days. Text books, supplies, A.V. material, and creative ideas for religious education wi:ll be on display.

The Dameans, nationally known- composers and singers, wiJ.l provide special entertainment Saturday evening in the Civic Center. Since music is such an integral part of today's society and is considered to have such an influence on thinking and formation and expression of values, the Dameans see their ministry as Christians and Catholic priests linked with music. Both in writing and in performing, tiheir music becomes an expression of their own faith life and an important means of spreading the Good News to society. 'A maturing Hving Faith is being asked of those who profe9s belief in Christ in today's world. Hence the dioceses of New England are encouraging the growth of Faith in God's Chosen People. . _."

Mother Ter'esa Nominated For Nobel Prize

THE ANCHORThurs., July 24, 1975

CALCUTTA (NC) - Mother Teresa of Calcutta, foundress of the Missionaries of Charity who first won fame by her work among the poor in the slums of this Indian city, has been nominated for the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination was made by Mrs. Shirley Williams, British secretary of state for consumer protection; Maurice Williams, executive director of the United National Nations environment program, and Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson), author, columnist, university lecturer and specialist in problems of developing 'nations. The Norwegian Nohel committee has formally accepted thl~' nomination. The 64-year-old nun, born to Albanian parents in what now is Yugoslavia, came to India as a member of the Irish branch of 1he Institute of the Blesssed Virgin Mary, known as Loreto Sisters. She taught for several years at a fashionable girls' college in Calcutta. Then she obtained permission to work among the dying and destitute on. city streets, :jnd started a new congregation, the Missionaries of Charity for that work. Mother Teresa, and her nuns since 1950 have rescued marc than 23,000 dying persons frorr. Calcutta streets and helped them to die with dignity in n sheltt'r donated by the municipality. The Missionaries' of Charity nnw have more than 700 Sisters and 100 Brothers in more than 50 houses around the world. Mother Teresa's latest venture in India is a night shelter at Calcutta's crowded Howrah railway station, where whole families from some of northeast Tnelia's mOst ,remote jungle areas often sleep virtually naked while waiting to get' settled in Calcutta. It will 'provide shelter for women and young children. III persons and destitutes will also find shelter there. Mother Teresa selected the permanent site for the shelter, which w.ill be about 60 by 30 feet. It was provided by ,the government.

MONTREAL (NC) The Council on Justice and Corrections, half of whose members are Catholic, has unanimously urged complete abolition of the death penalty in Canada. The Rev. David McCord, the council's executive director, said the members were conscious of the plight of murder victims, but felt capital punishment is not a deterrent to murder. "To keep capital punishment makes us all murderers," said Mr. McCord, a United Church minister. Currently, the death penalty in Canada is reserved for murderers of police and prison guards. National debate on capital punishment was aroused when Rene Vaillancourt was scheduled to hang May 15. He was subsequently granted a stay of execution until Oct. 31.

Wom'en Religious Plan Convention

Recalls 'In, Christ There Is Neither Male Nor Female'

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The National Assembly of Women Religious (NAWR) wHl hold its fifth annual convention 'at the University of San Francisco Aug. 7-10 on the theme "Gospel Commitment: Focus for the 80s." More than 500 Sisters are expected to attend the convention of the NAWR. whose membership ,includes 3,500 individual Sisters as well as Sister's councils in 103 dioceses throughout the country. . Sister Margaret F'arley of the Sisters of Mercy, associate professor of ethics at Yale Divinity School. will give one of two keynote addresses, reviewing the meaning of religious commitment in an era of social change.

Some weeks ago I wrote that I believe the Church will benefit by ordaining women as priests. I got several letters, with various reasons why women could never be ordained. One argument did seem to have some validity: a priest represents Christ at Mass little food there was when he consecrates the in "Wha,t the place had been left out bread and wine. Since Christ and spoiled. The woman was was a man, He cannot be sprawled on the bed, so hungrepresented by a woman.

The other keynote speaker, Saul Mendlovitz, professor of international law at Rutgers University in New Jersey and president of the Instiotute for World Order. will speak on the four values.....-peace. economic weU-being. social justice and ecological well-being - that he believes are crucial if the world ·is to avoid tyrannical despotism or a oataocly,smic series of minidisasters.

sent Christ would be no problem for him. He was so positive about it, I had to ask him why he felt that way. "It goes back year!; ago,- to the time I first joined the St. Vincent de Paul Society." he said. "You know the Society's principal work. is visiting the poor in their homes. trying to help them. 'Two members always go together to make a visit. I was paired up with an older. more experienced member, on the first few calls 1 made. More Difficult "The work was more difficult than I had expected it to be. I had visions of taking food ba'skets to elderly widows who kept their threadbare houses as neat as a pin. "It wa5n't that way· at all. Some of the places we visited were filthy. Some of the people were unwashed and sometimes drunk. I was disgusted ... and it showed. "As a result the poor rejected me. It seems that no matter how bad. off a person is he can still 'have enough pride and human dignity to ,refu5e help from someone who looks down on him. "While I was ineffective on these calls, my partner was not. He was able to quickly establish a warm relationship with these people. They gratefully accepted help from him. "I was so conscious of my fa.iJure I was seriously thinking of dropping out of the Society. But 1 asked my partner how he was able to do the work so well. "He told me he always kept in mind the words of Chri5t: 'Whatever you do for the least of my brethren you do for Me.' He said that the poor we visited represented Christ to him because what he did for them he did for Christ. He said he 'saw' Christ in every poor person. "Several days later we made our next call together. It' was a visit to an elderly woman who was a chronic alcoholic. When we got there it wa5 obvious she had been putting nothing but alcohoi in her stomach for several 9ay~. . .'»

Summer IS Cruelest Time For Schedule-Minded Dad

Criticize Re楼ision Of C1onon Low

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

CHICAGO (NC)-The National Coalition of American Nuns (NCAN), an activist nuns' organization, has criticized the process of revising canon law for Reli路 gious for failing to involve Americans or Women in the revision. "American Religious will not accept 50mething so authoritarian, so obtuse and oppressive," NCAN said in its newsletter published here. "Thinking and caring Religious will not accept this unilateral decisionmaking." The news-letter continued: "NCAN must reject this new revision and proclaim the subjection of Religious women whom men of the Church seek thus to bind. No law can govern those who did not have voice in themaking of that l,aw." Citing an estimate that between 65 and 70 per cent of those who formulated the revision reside in Rome, the newsletter concluded: "NCAN then invites the men to sign their new rules to the winds on the banks of the Tiber."

After 18 years of teaching I made the terrible mistake of taking a Summer off and staying home fpr the II weeks we will be out of school. For the man of the house, staying home can be a revealing situation. First of all, I ::an appreciate a wife's frusslices of homemade bread, and ~ration over having the chilthe exciting prospect of being :lren home from school. involved in bread baking oneWhat to do with them? They self.

certainly don't know what to do 'with themselves, and having them home in the sweltering heat does!2't add much to one's composure. Meals and scheduling are the first things that go to pot. There is no way that I can figure out what is going on in our house in term5 of scheduling. fhe children eat junk foods all day long, or various cold drinks are consumed by the quart so that no one wants to eat at mealtime. Marilyn is constantly putting food on the dinner table only to hear that the children are not hungry or they don't feel like cating.

While summer is not the best time for bread baking, especially during the hot, humid weather that we're experiencing at the moment, I find that baking is not the forgotten art it once was, but rather that the current interest in natural foods has revived interest in this ancient art. This is a delicious, and not too difficult raisin bread recipe that invites you to try more. It was given to me by Mrs. Edward Reid of St. Stanislaus parish in Fall River. She baked it for a party I attended, and it was the hit of the evening.

Summer brings freedom and with freedom a state of anarchy. God only knows where the children are at any given time. Either they are on their bicycles, or in 50meone's pool, or playing baseball; the one thing we can not do is keep track of them. Dirty clothes and towels arc everywhere. I am thoroughly amazed that Marilyn has managed to keep the' children in clean clothes all these years as I watch the wash heaping up after two and three changes a day. With the beach and hot weather we must be going through six to 10 bath towels a day. All of this I have mi5scd in past Summers and I intend to miss it again next Summer. I am now applying for Summer jobs, preferably out-of-state, so that I can get as far away from this chaos as possible. Being an organized person, I have put my foot down once or twice with the idea of putting my house in order but have come up with nothing but frustration for my efforts. At this juncture I have just about given up and will take the cowardly but wise approach of avoiding all efforts to bring the house under control. Instead, I will begin marking off the days on the calendar until school be,gins. In the Kitchen I have often mentioned in this column how fortunate we in this area are because of the wide variety of ethnic food we are able to obtain. Within a five minute ride from my house, I can pick up Italian bread, Portugue5e loaves, Jewish rye and Syrian bread, hot from the ovens: The laHer commodity, the Syrian bread, makes the best grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches imaginable. I learned this from Mrs. Namy Milan who used to run a small Lebanese restaurant. 路For many of us, the flavors of grain5 evoke fond memories of our early lives, catching the scent of muffins 'in the oven, watching butter melt on thick

CDA Raps Equal Rights Amendment HOUSTON (NC)-The national board of the Catholic Daughters of America (CDA) repeated its opposition to ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and endorsed the bill of Sen.

Trabeaux of Plaquemine, La., announced the board's action at its summer meeting here July 9-1 I. The board's meeting said "the vague wording of the proposed 27th amendment, which leaves it open to wide interpretation, would have a devastating effect 0n family unity. Equality at woman and man can be found only in its essential foundation, which is the dignity of humans in their filial relatirmship to God."

$ays eatholic Press Must Reach All NEW YORK (NC) - Today more than before the Catholic press must reach out to marginal or nominal Catholics by 8'ldressing "the deep questions that touch all our lives," according to Franciscan Father Jeremy Harrington" newly elected president of the Catholic Press Asso· ciation (CPA). In an interview with NC News before the 1975 CPA convention here, the soft-spoken priest discussed the current needs of the Catholic press and the roI~ of the CPA, both in thb country and abroad. He also noted his optimism over increasing cooperation and fellowship between Catholic editors and their Protestant, Orthodox and Jewish counterparts in the Associated Church Press (ACP).

tendance in recent years, Father HarringtQn said that because of the declines "the Catholic press has all the more rel\son to exist. It can reach the people who have stopped coming to church." But to do this, he added, Catholic papers and magazines must address "the deep qu~sti0ns thal touch all our lives, questions about living, dying, suffering, guilt ... If the Catholic press can touch people on these issues so that it concerns their lives, they'll read it."

he is one - the most influential one in the United States Navy. "It's a curious story," said Msgr. (R.Adm.) O'Connor, the newly appointed chief of chaplains for the United States Navy. "If 25 years ago you told me I'd be a military chaplain, I would have said you were crazy." After numerous attempts to enlist as a military chaplain at the time of the Korean Warand after numerous denials by his religious superiors - Father O'Connor felt he had satisfied his obligation to serve his country and settled down to run a program in Philadelphia for retarded children, his "first love." But about two weeks after the chancery office there informed him that his name was deleted from the list of prospective military chaplains, he said he received a letter that in effect said "Okay, Father, you can join the military if you want." Appointed Chief "That shocked me," said the 55-year-old priest. He entered the military in 1952 to serve in Korea expecting, he recalled, to return to Philadel,hia after his tour of duty ended. Twenty-three years later, Msgr. O'Connor, who said he was "a reluctant dragon" about staying in the military after Korea, is the second Catholic in the Navy's Ihistory to be appointed chief of Chaplains. He was sworn in June 27. After a couple of weeks on the job, Msgr. O'Connor said his position as chief administrator of the chaplain corps for the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard is "quite different" from the otherassignments that have stationed him both here and abroad' in times of war and peace. First at Annapolis . His previous duty stations included the Philadelphia Naval Receiving Station, the Atlantic ,Fleet Destroyer Force, and the USS Canberra. Later, he was assiglled to the Naval postgraduate' school in Monterey, Calif., and was divisional chaplain for the '3rd Marine Division in Vietnam, and for Marines on Parris Island, S.C., and Quantico, Va. In 1972, he was named the first Catholic chief chaplain in the history of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., an assignment he said he especially regretted leaving. Msgr. O'Connor vowed, not to "get bogged down" with the myriad of details that accompany the responsibility of assigning, training, and commissioning the 850 clergymen who serve the spiritual needs of Navy men throughout the world. If a chief of chaplains just bolts bimself down in Washington, D.C., Msgr. O'Connor said as he leaned over the mahogany desk in his office- at the Naval Center in nearby Arlington, Va.,

" it.

R. ADM. JOHN J. O'CONNOR he will lose touch with the day-, to-day workings of the military. Chaplain: Church To avoid that Msgr. O'Connor said he plans to spend alternating months "on the road" and aboard ship so he will be able "to get back to whzre the reality of the Navy is." And that "reality" separates the military chaplain from his civilian counterryart, Msgr. O'Connor said. "Our church is often the deck of a destroyer. In a sense, the individual chaplain is the church wherever he goes. "The average military chaplain," he continued, "is probably required to engage in a wider variety of ministries than a civilian priest. "He is more likely to be a jack-of-all-trades - a parish priest, an administrator, a teacher, a counselor, an expert' in drug and alcohol abuse, and an arbitrator in minority affairs," Msgr. O'Connor ex..,lained. At the same time, the chaplain is a military man,' subject to the same Navy rules and discipline as the men he serves. But Msgr.

remotely suggest what I sh<>uld preach or write," Msgr. O'Connor said. "I found in the military far more concern with moral issues than people would dream or." Yet Msgr. O'Connor said that a chaplain's rank can be an obstacle if it is held by the "wrong man," adding that it can be a benefit if worn by the right one. A chaplain, he said, ,"could he tempted to put his military commission above his ministry. I personally have seen a limited amount of this." But Msgr. O'Connor said he was against the idea of divorcing the chaplainship from the military because he believes the chaplain can be much more effective if he is an integral part of the organization which he serves. "If a man sees you're concerned," he'said, "he doesn't look at the stri,!:'es on your sleeve. The problem is not rank, but the legitimate use or misuse of it." Nevertheless, Msgr. O'Connor said that he was reluctant to be promoted to rear admiral, a position that elevate s him near the very top of the United States Navy's officer corps. "As a priest and as a person I am not geared to the pomp and trappings" associated with a flag officer, he said. Msgr. O'Connor conceded, however, that his rank opens doors that might otherwise be closed, or maybe only held ajar, thereby making it easier for him to realize fully the motto of the United States Navy chaplain corps: "Cooperation Without Compromise."

' Here was pastoral prosperity and perfect peace, but just six years earlier, on the river to the northwest, had stood one of the largest stone fortresses built 'by France in the New World, Fort de Chartres. The stronghold was gone now because England had won the French and Indian War at Quebec, and the Treaty of Paris (1763) had ceded all French possessions east of the Mississippi to the victor. Thus Fort de Chartres and Kaskaskia found that they had become English without having had a chance to f!ght. In 1772 the fort was dismantled to make sure it would never become a rallying point in opposition to King George HI. The account of Clark's.infiltration or Kaskaskia on the night of July 4 with a tiny army of about 150 men is fairly well known history. When the townspeople obtained Clark's assurance that their Catholic religion would be respected and his avowal that the King of France was an ally of the Continental Congress, they lined up behind their parish priest, Father Gabriel Gibault, and swore allegiance to the new republic. Fr. Gibauit's Aid it is less wen known that Father Gibault played a significant part in bringing other key French settlements over to support for. the American cause. These included Cahokia, Prairie du Rocher and St. Philippe on the Mississippi and Vincennes on the Wabash River. As a result of Clark's successful campaign aided by Father Gibault, when the American delegates took their places at the peace talks in 1783 they could lay claim to the whole eastern half of the fertile Mississippi Valley. The importance of this prize in the subsequent development of the United States is self-evident. But behind the influence of one French priest in 1768 was a century of exploration and colonization that had made the French influence still significant despite the previous 15 years of British rule.

mission just across the Illinois River from the present Starved Rock state park, where Fort St. Louis would be built a few years later. Peoria In 1679 the fur trader, Robert Cavalier de la Salle, with Franciscan Fathers Gabriel de la Ribourde, Zenoqe Mambre and Louis Hennepin, and a troop of skilled artisans entered Illinois Valley from the northeast. Near the present Peoria, Ill., he began building Fort Crevecoeur to protect the settlers and a ship to carry furs down the Mississippi and across the ocean to Europe.

At once Father Hennepm and two Catholic voyageurs, Accault and Auguelle, were sent to determine the navigability of the Illinois River. Hardly had their birch bark nosed its way into the current of the Mississippi when a flotilla of Sioux hunters surrounded it. The three white captives were taken north, near what is now St. Paul, Minn. Then one of those strange coincidences of history took place. Sieur Daniel Greysolon Duluth, thinking he was hundreds of miles from the nearest European, beached his canoe at the Indian village to he met by the priest and his companions. Duluth demanded their freedom and brought them to the Jesuit mission of St. Francois Xavier, where De Pere, Wis., now stands. French Catholic Priests Disaster fell on La Salle's fort and ship when his carpenters deserted. His royal charter was running out. With the remaining white men of his party and a group of friendly ~ndians La Salle decided to complete the exploration of the Mississippi River. At its mouth, on April 9, 1682, by formal proclamation, he added the whole valley to the domain of King Louis XIV of France.

By the close of the 17th century, traders were frequently traveling the Chicago River with a short portage to the Des Plains and the Illinois. There in 1696, Father Francois Pinet established the Jesuit mission of the Guardian Angel.

the Future of CCD?

By Rev. Thomas E. Kramer To ask the question "What is the future of CCD?" is to risk a hlank stare, a shrug of the shoulders or a response something like "What is the past of CCD?" from many Catholics. Those who are familiar with the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine of 20 and 30 years ago do wonder about its present status and 'its future, but there are many who are not in any way familiar with the CCD. In its glory days of the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s, the CCD was organized in a parish to provide catechetical instruction to a 11 persons in the parish except those youngsters enrolled in Catholic schools. In plain fact this very often meant providing religion classes for public school children, but in many parishes it meant a program for 'parents of pre-schoolers, a program of adult discussion clubs, visitors to new parishioners and a variety of other programs. , A brief column is no place to discuss all the reasons for the decline" of many of these programs and for the very notion of CCD itself. In looking back one can see positive and negative factors and can count wise deci!>ions and poor ones. The fact is that the Church in this country has moved to an idea of total religious education in the parish

By STEVE LANDREGAN

A religious education program for children begins with their parents. Parents are the first teachers of religion to their children and their teaching ·and example pro· vide the foundation upon which any future Christian formation will rest. The question is: What is the parish doing to insure that the parents are prepared to fulfill their role as first teachers of religion. Today many Catholic adults operate with a "First Communion" faith. They have matured physically, intellectually and emotionally, but often have matured very little spiritually. These parents would laugh at the idea of.. wearing their 'First Communion suits orgrllsses . " ;;'

These dimensions of course are interwoven, and cannot be isolated, the one from the other. Each is an aspect of Christian growth and each one fuses with and reinforces the other. The end result is Catholic education in its full dimension, than which no more lofty nor perfect has yet been conceived. I suspect the argument will continue to rage in the journals whether Catholic schools, which were necessary in "the immigrant days, are still necessary today. For parents, it seems to be merely academic. They answer yes. They see a nation which has had a disastrous involvement in the Far East, with hundreds of thousaids of refugees in this country to remind us of it. They are fearful of a precarious involvement in the Middle East. They've witnessed a President forced to resign from the highest office in the land and his chief advison convicted in court.

Catholic Archbishop Addresses - Church of Scotland Assembly

EDINBURGH (NC)-The first Roman Catholic bishop to address the General Assembly of the. Church of Scotland (Presbytenan) was g~eeted with loud app~a~se for hIS summons to all ChrIstIans to acknowledge their bond as brothers. Archbishop Thomas Winnin of Glasgow's speech' here wa~ seen by most observers as a step forward in ecumenical relations in.Scotiand. Pastor Jack Glass of the ZionBaptist Church, who has a history of disruptiong ecumenical gatherings in Scotland , was refused admittance to the Assembly Hall. About 3,000 marchers took part in a Loyal Orange Institution demonstration parade May 19 along Princes St. here protesting the Church of Scotland's decision to allow a Roman Catholic to address the General Assembly. The organizers of the parade claimed that such ecumenical steps were destroying the Church of Scotland and called for a "return to scriptural Christianity." The Rev. Andrew Herron, Gov-crnor of the Assembly's business committee, told newsmen that the re~ent practice of having a CatholIc observer had caused some unhappiness, because of

the violent controversy it has created. Archbishop Winning's speech was followed' by a handshake from the moderator, the Rev. Dr. James Matheson, and the words: "You have won our hearts." . , ' In hl~ sp.;ech ArchbIshop Winnmg saId: If we greet and. treat one another as brothers, If we ~ray for e,ach other as brothers, If we contmu.e our work together as brothers, If ~e reflect ?n the already e~tabiished famIly of ?od, we ~Ill have closed one era In the hIstory of our churches and emerg d 'nto . . e .~ a new .one In whIch the SpIrIt of God WIll lead us one day to complete union." Archbish?p Winning said the road to umty was a r?ugh road and there were stumblIng blocks for all. "We in the Roman Catholic Church realize that we are a 'stumbling block to other churches because of our convictions regarding the nature of the church and her authority," he said. "Nonetheless, we are fullycommitted to working with you and the other Christian churches towards unity, for we are confident that the Holy Spirit will guide all of us to an ultimate solution."

A Constantly Growing Process

Continued from Page Thirteen rent efforts to upgrade preaching ski1l~ a?d to imp;,ove the entire homIletIC process (Par. 45). Quality Homilies Where the highest percentage of parishioners is reached with the Word of God is at the Sunday Mass. Of course it is essential t?at the homilies must be effectIve. Length is unimportant. Its quality that counts. Properly used. to develop some point of the readmgs or another text from the Mass of the day, homilies will provide a means of real spiritual renewal for a parish. They can als~ stimulate many parishioners to Involve themselves in discussion clubs, aoult education courses or lectures that would broaden their spiritual insights and deepen their faith. "To Teach as Jesus Did" goes on to say, "The Catholic press and other communications media should be utilized creatively for continuing education" (Par. 45). The Know Your Faith series carried by more than 90 diocesan newspapers is an exceHent tool of the Catholic press today. These articles which cover a wide area of subjects from Sacraments to Scripture, could well he referred to in homilies and used by discussion groups or individuals as a means of updating themselves. Libraries Some parishes have_ libraries or tape ministries. A parish library should be kept current and have a reasonable budget for the purchase of resource books, spiritual reading and religious fiction. Religious book publication is once again on the increase. Tape libraries consist' of casettes purchased or recorded by parishioners of talks on everything from understanding the Bible to understanding your teenager.

A Catholic high school in Texas will introduce a new concept the course being given to their children could do the same thing. If -CCD classes are held on Sunday morning for children adult education classes could b~ held for parents at the same time in prayer groups, Cursillos, Marriage Encounter and any other program that will help them to develop a more dynamie Christian life. Religious education in the parochial school and the CCD needs the full support of the parish community, financially to provide books, visual aids and qualified teachers; and spiritually to provide parents with the opportunities they need to deepen their own faith commitment and enrich their Christian family life to provide the proper spiritual soil for the seeds of faith to grow and hear fruit.

Catholic Schools Continued from Page Thirteen better men," What will help is a value education which develops better men and better women. A monopolistic public school system which does not recognize the existence of God, and which, rather than encourage students to study and discuss the ultimate issues of life and reality, actually forbids them, does not meet the need. Perhaps the Bicentennial we are about to celebrate will serve to remind all people (including the Supreme Court Justices) that America was founded as a religious nation. As a religious nation, we deserve a religious educational system. Deserve it? Bill would say: "Absolutely need it. And each child has a right to it." •

Also included could be a wide variety of adult education programs, from the -older style discussion clubs on sacred Scripture, family life, ethical questions or any other subject, to retreat type programs, lecture series and other efforts at adult education. In all of these it is important that they be seen as a function of the parish community. They must all be efforts provided by the parish community to enhance the faith of its members. We have not mentioned the programs more directly concerned with service or community formation that have been coming into existence in response to the Bishops' pastoral, "To Teach as Jesus Did," but they also -are a sign of hope. In a living parish community, and there are many in the dioceses of the United States, we can find- a wide variety of programs that cause us to conclude that CCD is alive and well in many places but living under a different name.

NEW YORK (NC)-eatholic Relief Services (CRS), the overseas aid agency of U. S.

Proposed and supervised by the Kigali, Rwanda, office of CRS, the project consists in the building, now under way, of four concrete and open-wire grain storage silos in various parts of the country to combat the annual estimated loss of 25 per cent of the nation's crops due to rot, rodents and insects.

Dispute Results In Fund Cuts For Colleges NEWARK' (NC) - A political dispute over proposals for an income tax has resulted in a stalemate 'betweeri New Jersey Gov. Brendan T. Byrne and the state legislature resulting in massive cuts in state payment to private colleges and universities. The governor has been insisting on the need for an income tax and the Assembly has voted an income tax program, but. the Senate has rejected the plan five times. However, the Senate did approve the governor's budget which was predicated on the enactment of an income taX--«l form of taxation endorsed by the state's bishops just before the most recent Senate vote. Since t1he New Jersey Constitution requires that the budget be balanced, the governor had to cut the budget by $384 million to meet the requirement before the start of the fiscal year on July 1. Education was the chief target of the cuts. 'Nuisance Taxes'

Marv the Milwaukee Bartender Called 'Jewish Santa Claus' MILWAUKEE (NC) - Some 'call him a Jewislh Santa Claus. Others, a "great Jewish Irishman," or the "best Jewish Catholic." He calls himself "just a friend, named Marv, who is a bartend· er." Marv the bartender doesn't want a lot of fanfare about some of the things he's done, so he asks that his last name remain anonymous. And he says he really doesn't do that mudh. He shrugs it all off with: "Anyone could do it." But does anyone:' -Buy every pupil at a Cath· olic school-.about 250 of them -a pair of shoes? -Take a group of Catholic pupils on an outing to a nearby 'lake, pmvide the bus transpor· tation, treat them to food and gifts? -Serve as a "father" to six or so high school students at a .father-daughter dance, footing the bill? -Gather 70 food boxes to distribute to the poor at Christmas, complete witlh turkey and trimmings and gifts for every· one? -Help out nuns in Whatever items he can pick up for them? -Arrange a Christmas party every year for the neighborhood children, provide entertainment, and give them gifts? -Though of Jewish faith, became a paying member of an ,inner city parish, St. Rose's, that can use the money?

Gov. Byrne, a Democrat, is the third consecutive governor to propose an income tax to solve the state's fiscal problems and he was given an excellent MARV THE BARTENDER: Some call him "the best chance of succeeding because both houses are heavily DemJewish Catholic," and others a "Jewish Santa Claus," but ocratic.

Senate Hearing Hits 'Redlining' WASHINGTON (NC)-Church, civic, neighborhood and civil rights leaders criticized "redlin· ing"-refusing mortgage money to certain neighborhoods-during four days of hearings on a bill aimed at stopping the practice. "Perfectly sound neighborhoods in every major city in America are dying premature deaths for lack of mortgage credit," charged Sen. Wiliam Proxmire (D-Wisc.) Proxmire, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and Sen. Adlai Stevenson (D-lll.) introduced a bill which would require federally chartered lending institutions to disclose the patterns of the source of their savings deposits and the receivers of mortgage loans. Supporters of the disclosure bill say disclosure would provide neighborhood groups with information which lending institutions were investing in the neighborhood which provided most of their deposits and which were not. One tactic used by the neighborhood groups in the past, with Church support, has been to "boycott" banks which redline and place savings deposits in banks which invest in their community. Some in the lending industry have denied that "redlining" exists, noting that any lender mu~t be responsible in choosing who to lend money to. In Providence But Sen. Jake Garn (R-Utah), former Salt Lake City mayor, said during the hearings that he was convinced that "redlining exists." A Library of Congress report prepared for the banking and housing subcommittee and testimony from neighborhood groups gave several examples of' redlining: -Seventeen savings and loan associations in the District of Columbia lent nearly 90 per cent of their mortgage funds to the predominantly white suburbs outstide the predominantly black district. The subcommittee estimated that 40·60 per cent of the deposits in those banks came from within the district. -In many areas of Chicago, mortgages lent in a certain neighborhood represented less· than one per cent of the savings deposited by that neighborhood. -Witnesses described similar patterns in Providence, R. I., Oakland, Calif., and other cities.
