Says Criticism, Apathy Enemies Of Education

THE ANCHO~Thurs., July 27, 1972

BRISBANE (NC)-Perhaps the greatest enemy of Catholic education today is not lack of money, but internal criticism and apathy. This view was expressed by Brother Othmar, provincial of the Marist Brothers here in Australia. He said the most harmful critics are those who want schools closed down and the emphasis placed on adult education. Brother Othmar spoke at the opening of a new Marist Brothers' college in suburban Enoggera. Referring to those, even within the Catholic community, who show insufficient appreciation of the Catholic educational system, Brother Othmar said that criticism, even strong criticism, is a prerequisite for the reduction of complacency and for betterment. But it is possible to highlight shortcomings to a point where confidence, another condition for improvement, is deeply eroded, he said. Expand System· The Second Vatican Council emphasized the importance of Catholic schools and the 'Australian bishops have been equally clear in their determination to maintain and expand the Catholic school system, he noted. "Let us never forget !flat where the enemies of Christianity have sought to overthrow it, the attack inevitably begins at school level," he said. Speaking of internal criticism, he said: "The most harmful critics are those who, purporting to see all edu;::ational problems as financial, suggest the disbandment of the Catholic primary and secondary schools, and the emphasis (and money) placed on adult education. They display gross ignorance of the aims and the implementation of the ideals of Catholic education. Catholic Atmosphere "Religious education is seen as distinct from education as a whole, which is .the principle of religious instruction in the state system. "The basis of Catholic education is not just the teaching of Catholic doctrine, but the infusion of a Catholic atmosphereof Christ-centered attitudesthrough all stages of the educative process." Brother Othmar noted that the role of the Cat.holic school has changed over the years. "Before, most Catholic chil-· ·dren attended Catholic schools and, as a result, the Church was probably more closely identified with its schools," he said. "Furthermore, the concept of 'witness' has been stressed to a far greater extent than before in the whole of Christian liviqg emphasis of the Second Vatican Council, one of whose underlying themes was the position of the Church in a pluralist society. "As tbe proportion of Catholic children in Catholic schools decreases, the witness value of the Catholic school becomes more meaningful, on account of its comparative isolation."

DALLAS (NC)-The Lutheran Church in America has rejected a proposal to use the term "bishop" in referring to church leaders. At the church's sixth biennial convention here, the motion to change the title of the 33 synodical presidents to "bishop" and that of the LCA president to "presiding bishop" was defeated by a vote of 286-218. Speaking against the suggested title, Dr. Taito A. Kantonen. retired professor of the Hamm School of Theology in Springfield, Ohio, said: "It is a childish gesture that bestows nothing but a borrowed halo,"

In his homily to a congregation filling the church, Bishop Cronin, with Father Mendonca giving a simultaneous translation, stated "I have come to you from distant America where so many of the sons and daughters of this village are making their homes." Stressing the universality of the Church, the Fall River Ordinary emphasized in his address that "regardless of where we live, or what language we speak - we profess the same faith, same doctrine, same love for Jesus Christ." He assured the congregation that "their relatives and friends who have migrated to the United States· and especially to the territory of the Fall River Diocese have brought their deep faith with them and are living exampies to their neighbors of the strong Christian convictions developed in their own Terceira." Bishop Cronin concluded with these words of counsel, "keep in close contact with your relatives abroad and through your prayers serve as mediators before the thone of God for the preservation of your di5tant friends and relatives." Following the Mass, Bishop Cronin met the parishioners and among them were Father Freitas' relatives. On Saturday evening, July 15 Bishop Cronin was principal concelebrant and homilist at a Mass offered in the Church of Sao Sebastiao, the home parish of Rev. John C. Martins, assistant pastor at Santo Christo Parish, Fall River. Following the Mass, the Bishop greeted the parishioners and he remarked later about the most gracious reception he has received at every stop. Before leaving Terceira, Bishop Cronin and his group received a special invitation to visit the American Air Base and the Ordinary of the Fall River Diocese was formally received by the commanding officer, General Thomas' Aldrich.

The schedule for parish visitations on the Island of San Miguel began in the village of Rabo de Peixe, the native village of Rev. Manuel M. Resendes, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes, Taunton and the childhood home of Rev. Manuel N. Andrade, pastor of Our Lady of Health· Parish, Fall River. Although born in Taunton, Father Andrade spent his childhood years in Rabo de Peixe.

,Priest Says Vocations of Converted Protestant Clergy Are Neglected LONDON (NC) - Married Protestant clergymen who convert to Catholicism should be allowed into the _priesthood, a London pastor said. Father Michael Hollings said that he has seen "intense suffering by those who feel themselves called to a· pastoral ministry in the priesthood but have already married." ." Father Hollings, speaking at the annual meeting of the Converts' Aid Society, said that former Protestant clergymen would make suitable priests because of their training in pastoral work. "I am now working in a parish where we could never have enough help," he said. "It is wonderful to have lay help but there is only a certain amount that lay people can do." Lord Richard Ashton Beaumont, chairman of the society, reported that the number of convert clergymen and convert Anglican nuns had increased during the past year. He said the society must be prepared "for the contingency that shall be called on to support

a greater number of married convert clergy than would have appeared possible a number of years ago," Cardinal John Heenan of Westminster told the meeting that the World Synod of Bishops in Rome last October made it ~ery clear that there was "no intention to discourage" the Pope from enabling "those who had been ministers or priests of other religions to be ordained priests although they were married," Recent popes have permitted a few former Protestant clergymen who are married to become priests-particularly in Germany.

Justa (ew months ago, at a' Mass celebrated in the National Sl1rine in Washington - two persons, were seen leaving: the church with consecrated Hosts, intending to use Theser in a secret Mass ritual. Religious goods stores report an upswing in the sale of incense and even vestments to individual,s using these in their own occult liturgies.

Affecting Eternity I

There i~ a line in "The Education of Henry Adams" that says, "1'\ teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his in,fluence s t o p s . " , This is :a "sentence that .many a teacher would do well to ponder as he or she sees pupils passing on' to other grade~ and wonders what they have taken with them from tpis grade. The late: Cardinal O'Hara while pr~sident of -the University of Notre Dame once, told the ..facuIty members there that _th~y are rewarded by their bright students, earn their salarie~ with their average students and save their souls with their dull students. But the fact is that a teacher influences all students-one way or another. I

This is a sobering thought to, any teacher arid a'lso a source of: satisfaction and encouragement. No, matter what a repoI1 card may say about the pupil or the ,teacher, the teacher knows' that much more was accomplished than any report card can ever indicate .The teacher has affected eternity. •

Unfortunately, what the Supreme Court may well have] done last week was license a marketplace of non-solutions." 'The Tablet, the Brooklyndliocesan paper, pointed: out that members of the court majority had Mid that the death penalty is applied erratically and that it is often "selectively applied" to the black and the poor. , 1-' "As it is our judgme~t that unfortunately these accusations against our system of punishments are correct, we appXaud the decision of the 'court," the Tablet saidih an editorial entitled "A Death Blow Axes Death Penalty."

Continued from Page One the concelebrated Mass on Sunday morning, which will conclude the convention. Other bishops expected to be present at the conference include Archbishop John F. Whealon, of Hartford; Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan of Worcester; Bishop Vincent J. Hines, of Norwich; and Bishop John A. Marshall, of Burlington. The featured speaker, ,Dr. Nolen, is a native of Holyoke. He now resides in Litchfield, Minn., with his wife and their six children. Since he gained national prominence through the publication of "The Making of A Surgeon,'" Dr. Nolen has had numerous articles published in both medical and general circulation magazines. He now writes a monthly column for McCall's. His second book, "Spare Parts for the Human Body" was published this year. A graduate of Holy Cross College and Tufts Medical School, Dr. Nolen spent five years in. special training at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. He is a Fellow of the· American College of Surgeons, chief of surgery at Meeker County Hospital in Minnesota, and attending· surgeon at the Hennepin General Hospital, Minneapolis: A copy of the doctor's pestseller will be presente~ to each nurse-delegate in attendance at the conference. Registrations for the three-day conference are now being accepted, according to Father Thomas M. Courtney, spiritual director of the sponsoring council. Nurses wishing to attend should contact Mrs. Thomas J. Fleming of Fall River at 6727085 or write to Agnes Griffin, 99 White Street, Westfield, Mass. 10185, or Mrs. Claire Collins, 64 Ferris Street, West Springfield, Mass. 01089. '

Catholic editors varied widely, - from enthusiastic· support, through thoughtful skepticism, to outright opposition-in their reactions to the Supreme Court decision on the death penalty. In a complicated ruling, the court held that the death penalty as now administered is uncon'stitutional, but it left open the possibility of new laws applying the death penalty for specific reasons and in a fair manner. While applauding the court for saving the lives of 600 men now on death row, the Criterion, the newspaper of the Indianapolis Missioners Group archdiocese, was sharply critical of the inconclusiveness of the Plans Meeting ruling.

Asserts Catholic Schools Produc'e Better Citizens LOS ANGELES (NC)-Catholic schools shoul.d be maintained, an educator said here, because they produce better citizens and better Catholics. Several scholarly studies have shown that "Catholics who attend Catholic schools and colleges are different from Catho- , lics who attend other schools and ' colleges," Msgr. Edgar P. McCarren told participants in an "Inquiry in Value Education" at Mount St. Mary's College. Those educ~ted in Catholic schools "are significantly more tolerant toward Jews, Negroes arid Protestants," the former director of the Research Institute for Catholic Education in New " York. "They achieve better academically. They are more upwardly mobile, that is, they, manage to achieve higher status socially and economically," he said. "They are better prepared for H~P~I~ESS TOA SEN~OR CITIZEN IS A VISIT: Sr. Dorothy, left a~d Mrs. Marltheir future lives.

Leaven in Parishes Msgr. McCarren, now director of education for the Phoenix diocese, said that Catholic schools can be maintained even with the loss' of large numbers of teaching Sisters. "Sisters add a dimension to a Catholic school nothing can replace," the educator said. "But in the beginning, 100 years ago, we had very few Sisters. I would like to see Sisters in all' our schools but they are not essential." He said that while the number of Catholic schools may drop, enough must be maintained so that "a significant segment of the Catholic population be formed in the faith" and act as "leaven in their parishes and communities." Government Aid The schools. can be kept open, Msgr. McCarren said, through larger contributions and government aid. Speaking of government aid, Msgr. McCarren said, "it doesn't m,ake sense that, with all other Western democracies providing this kind of freedom in education, we don't. "I think that in about 10 years the American people will feel as guilty about the injustices wrought on the parochial schools as about injustices wrought against the blacks." The priest compared current opposition to government aid with earlier anti-Negro attitudes. While most Americans do not feel prejudiced against Catholics, he said, they are still unconsciously affected by 19th century anti-Catholicism.

Admitting that before her own experience with the agenoy, "I didn't even know Homemakers existed," Sister Dorothy has become an ardent booster for the organization. "I'm so impressed with the dedication and warmth of so many of our workers- I'd like to see more women take on this work for a few hours a day." Need Is There So would Mrs. Healey. Although she is usually successful in filling requests for help within a day or two, she stressed that that there's a constant need for dedicated homemakers. There are fringe benefits to the work, too. She noted that after an initial training period, women participate in ongoing instruction and that this has inspired many to complete long-unfinished high school educations. "This past year alone 12 homemakers received high school equivalency certificates and one woman is continuing study for a degree in nursing." "I want to spread word of this beautiful way of giving to others," agreed Sister Dorothy, who is hopeful of continuing her own contact with the agency even after school resumes in September.

The cardinal and the primate are joint president of the council. "We find any discrimination on the grounds of religion and race to be abhorrent and we continue to witness against it," Dr. Ramsey said. But, he said, he welcomed wholeheartedly the news that many Jews are being allowed every month to emigrate from the Soviet Union, "to the Holy Land." The council tries to foster understanding and good will between Christians and Jews and to fight discrimination. Its honorary treasurers told' the London meeting that a recent fall in financial support was probably due to the fact that today anti-Semitism "is not so readily visible" in Britain.

Sees Church Image In Peru Confuse~ BUENOS AIRES (NC) - The Church must do more if it is to project an accurate image of itself in Peru, according to a study made by the journalism school of the Pontifical Catholic . University of Peru. The study, entitled "The Image of the Church in the Peruvian Press," was made available in anticipation of a four-day con: ference here on "The Church and Public Opinion." The meeting, co-sponsored by the journalism school and the Latin American Catholic Press Union, drew more than 100 delegates from 14 nations. Among the problems to be overcome, according to the study, are the failure of the Peruvian bishops to take clear-cut stands on Church issues, the international wire services' dominant position in the flow of news to Peruvian papers, and the fact that within Peru itself there is no coordinated Church press effort.

stresses Spiritual Resources of Women ATLANTIC CITY (NC)-Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, apostolic delegate in the United States, told the Catholic Daughters of America convention here that, a~ all times in its history, "the Church has been able to draw on the unlimited spiritual resources of women for its work and mission." . The Church now looks to women for assistancce "in the tremendous task of bringing the saving light and grace of Christ to a sotiety steeped in materialism, in hedonism, and characterized by a disregard for so many fundamental values," he continued. The archbishop 'told the delegates, celebrating the 70th anniversary of their organization that "with your particular background and tradition, with your sensibility, you will, no doubt, be in the foreground of this grE~at enterprise." In another address, Archbishop Duraisamy Lourdusamy of Bangalore, India, joint secretary of the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, emphasized the power for good one woman can have on the world.

Religious' Press Stories Basis for Radio Series TORONTO (NC) - The National Catholic Communications Center is exploring with other Christian denominations the possibility of preparing a weekly radio series based on feature articles' from The Catholic Register of Toronto, the Canadian Churchman (Anglican) and the United Church Observer. Bonnie Brennan, executive director of NCCC, said that the proposed series' will help bring religious news to a wider audience. A group 'of free-lance broadcasters have prepared a pilot program currently being evaluated by the NCCC and members of Inter-Church Broadcasting (ICB). ICB is a co-ordinating media unit of Anglican, Catholic and Un'ited churches. .

This time, however, he was responding to congratulations on graduating with honors from Brock University here. But Milan Slamka isn't a typical university graduate. For one thing, he is, at 42 years of age, married and the father of two children. He is also a refugee from communism who has suffered hardship, frustration and fear for his and that of his family because of his steadfast refusal to renounce his Catholic faith. It is a little more than three years since the Czechoslovakborn family made a dramatic escape from their homeland and arrived in Canada with' little more than' their faith. But Slamka had two goals-to make sure his children received the Catholic education impossible in Czechoslovakia and to continue his own ambition of teaching. . . He has achieved his first goal. .

Publication Acquires Catechetical Guild HUNTINGTON (NC) - Our Sunday Visitor, Inc., has assumed control of the Catechetical Guild Educational Society, a St. Paul, Minn., corporation which produces audio-visual material for Catholic schools and .:fter-school religious programs. Guild products include sound film strips, books, records, posters, and plaques. John Fink, executive vice president, of Ou; Sunday Visitor (OSV), said these products will be used to expand OSV's religious ~ducation department. The Guild "will be operated as a separate unit" in the religious education department which now produces the OSV religious textbook series, Fink said. "The Catechetical Guild audio-visual products will complement the textbooks and serve as the nucleus for further expansion in the field of religious education," he continued.

KAMPALA (NC)-Representatives from 40 countries are expected to meet here in August for the Symposium of Episcopal Catholi~ Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM).

Besides the African cardinals, bishops and lay leaders who are to attend the session, there will also be observers from the Vatican's Council of the Laity and the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. The SECAM press office announced that one of the highlights of the :Jession will be a pilgrimage to the Uganda Martyrs shrine at Namugongo. There will also be a concelebrated Mass to commemorate the third anniversary of Pope Paul VI's visit to Uganda. •

Sherry Advises Diocesan Press Guard Against Double Standard

FRESNO (NC)-In the last issue of the Central California Register, editor Gerard Sherry discussed the role ;of the diocesan press in the fight for social reform. Sherry has said that the Register, which published its last issue July 20, went out of business .because of a decline in circulation and ad revenue following his "editorial stand for justice for the farm workers." In three editorials on the role of the press, Sherry explained that the decline in the circulation of Catholic papers can be linked to a popular attitude that the press discusses "too many social issues which are purely political and have no religious connotation." Not only did this attitude apply to the Register's editorials on the farm-labor dispute, he said, but it also involves such issues as "urban renewal, po~erty in ghettos, low income housing, welfare and civil rights." "It has become the standard practice to blame the Catholic' press for the discontent; for 'stirring' people up,'" Sherry said. "It seems many of our coreligionists are happy only when we emphasize duties rather than rights, whether in Church or in the civic arena. We are told that the Catholic press should stick to religion and forget 'political matters, as if somehow religion can be divorced from life and its problems," he continued. Social Concern But, argued Sherry, Vatican II and papal encyclicals have urged Catholics to emphasize social concern. "The Church has consistently spoken out against all forms of oppression and injustice, emphasizing over and over again the individual dignity of the human person and standing with men in the defense of their

God-given rights," lie s~id. While both the Catholic and general 'press are becoming "a little weary of the negativism of some of its· critics," the editor said the critics must be' heard. "Some of the criticism is valid." Sherry admitted, "and we have the obligation to eliminate ex. cesses - no matter what form , they take." But, he said, just as these critics may not be read out of the church, they must not . be allowed to dictate newspaper policies. "We must, therefore, be prepared to defend the Church's intervention in many areas of our life and encourage a greater acceptance of the principle that religion embraces the whole of life," Sherry explained. Cites Encyclicals He pointed out that Pope Paul VI said to the College of Cardinals on the feast of St. John the ,Baptist, the Church must continue its concern for social justice. The Pope, Sherry said, "complained that people criticize the Church for its interventions on the question of social justice." But, the Pontiff said, the critics forget, "the prophetic office of the Church, which is not only to anounce truth and justice butannounce truth and justice but demn offenses and crimes against justice and truth." . Just as Humanae Vitae is authentic doctrine, so are other encyclicals, such as Mater et Magistra, Pacem in Terris, and Populorum Progressio said Sherry. .The Pope regards the discussion of decent housing for the poor, protection of welf~re recipients, and the rights of farm workers as proper concerns for the true Christian and the Christian press, said Sherry. "In a word-the Pope is saying that we must practice what we pr!,!ach," the. editor explained.

University Joins Lettuce Boycott DAYTON (NC) - The University of Dayton has announced support of the iceberg lettuce boycott called by Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers. The endorsement was in the form of a pledge that the university's food services will purchase only head lettuce clearly identified with the United Farm Workers black Aztec eagle label. Father Thomas StanleY,campus ministry director, said the union organized a boycott of non-union lettuce "because negotiations with the lettuce growers have broken .down." "Because farm workers are too poor and too easily replaced to battle employers in a traditional strike situation, the union can make very limited use of strikes in agriculture," he wrote. "Thus they enlist the support of sympathizers around the country to boycott products of the companies involved in the disputes."

Pope Begins Work At Castelgandolfo CASTELGANDOLFO (NC)Pope Paul VI began a two-month working holiday July 15 at his Summer residence here, 18 miles southeast of Rome. The papCoI secretary of state, French cardinal Jean Villot, also will reside on the grounds of the papal .residence, "probably for the whole month of August," according to a Vatican spokesman. The Vatican announces each year that all audiences, except the Wednesday general audiences, are canceled during the Pope's vacation. Invariably, however, Pope Paul has held many audiences for groups and individuals at Castelgandolfo. Certain key Vatican aides make the daily trip to Castelgandolfo to keep the Pope informed of events. His work schedule is somewhat curtailed during the vacation, but Pope Paul keeps busy at his desk preparing speeches and studying the mound of paperwork that comes his way daily.

'Neither Party Has Answer To All Major Problems

I have made it clear more than once in this column that endorsing individual candidates by party ~nd by na~e doesn't strike me as being the most appropnate way, m this country at least, for clergymen of any faith to exercise their distinctive role (whatIn a column entitled, "Cooling ever that may be) in the field the Campaign," which appeared of political.or social reform. on the Op-Ed page of the Times This is not a matter of hard- on July 10, Mr. Schwartz made and-fast principle on my part; it's simply a matter of practical judgment which may. or may not be well fou~ded. In summary,

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS let's just say that while I respect . the right of other clergymen to endorse and campaign for political candidates of their own choice, this doesn't happen to be my particular cup of tea. This is all by way of saying that the following comments on the recent Democratic convention in Miami Beach are meant to be completely non-partisan. Frank Acknowledgement. Whqt impressed me as much as anything else about the convention was the note of low-key realism-I almost said humility -which characterized Chairman Lawrence O'Brien's opening speech to the' delegates. Mr.· O'Brien-a genuine political pro if there ever was one-will never take any prize as a public speaker. At best, his platform style can only be characterized as mediocre. At the Miami Beach convention, however, what he lacked in this respect was amply made up by his brutally frank acknowledgement that Democrats don't have the answers to all of our major social and economic problems and his repeated warning that, in simple honesty, they (and their Republic counterparts) should stop pretending that they do-in short, that they should stop hoodwinking the American people. I have no way of knowing or even· guessing what partisan purposes, if any, Chairman O'Brien may have thought he was ,serving by making this unprecedently frank confession at the very outset of the Democratic convention. For all I know, his motives may have been as pure as the driven snow. Prudent Restraint Be that as it may, I, for one, liked what he had to say. Partisan politics aside, it was refreshing to hear such plain talk, for a change, at a highly-charged political convention. We could do with more of the same in both parties. What Mr. O'Brien said at the opening of the Miami Beach convention about the complexity of today's problems and the foolishness of pretending that either party has all the answers to these problems, was said even more pointedly that very morning by Harry Schwartz of the New York Times editorial board.

an eloquent appeal to all concerned-Democrats and Republi.cans alike-for a certain measure of prudent restraint during the coming Presidential campaign. For one thing, he saist, the differences between the two parties and their respective standardbearers are "much less than the passionate rhetoric and the fustian hyperbole of election oratory might suggest." Fallible Human Bflings Secondly, Mr. Schwartz pointed out, both parties can take their due measure of credit for the nation's accomplishments in recent generations. and their due measure of blame for its problems. "But perhaps the best reason," he said, "for prudent restraint in the election campaign is the fact that the nation has many problems to which nobody knows the answers, neither Democrats nor Republicans, neither Nixon nor McGovern nor anybody else." Mr. Schwartz is enough of a realist to know that the American political tradition unfortunately works against the kind of restraint or "humility" (his word) that the times require. Nevertheless he dares to entertain the hope that a recognition of the fact that we are all fallible human beings and that our problems are enormously complex "will moderate the passions of the next four months." Otherwise he is afraid that "divisive oratory" will needlessly add "still more salt to the nation's real and slow-healing wounds." Liberal Tolerance I realize, of course, that any discussion about the complexity of social, economic and political problems and the consequent need for at least a modicum of intellectual humility in the face of this complexity runs the risk of appearing to be a subtle plea to preserve or maintain the status quo. Obviously I hope I haven't left the impression that that's what I am trying to do in this context. I am simply suggesting (following the lead of Chairman O'Brien and Mr. Schwartz) that even the most radical kind of reform is-or at least should becompatible with a reasonable measure of what used to be known as liberal tolerance-a virtue which today is all too often denigrated in our traditional society. Louis Halle, a former U. S. Government official now teaching at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland, defines or describes liberal tolerance as follows in a recent book entitled "The Ideological Imagination: The Rise of Mass Bigotry in Our Time": Basis for Tolerance "Tolerance of dissent depends . . . on 'certain conceptual precon-

Conflict Over Queen's Catholic Colle,ge MONTREAL (NC) - Catholic leaders here have expressed suspicion that Qu~bec's Anglo-Protestant universities have 'ganged up' on Catholic Loyola College in the interest of their own preservation. This was the reaction following publication of a report by the Quebec province's Council of Universities which recommended that Loyola - Quebec's· only Catholic, English-language institution of higher learning - be phased out by 1975. The council report to the Department of Education said there will be a surplus of space in the

ditions in the minds of men. The basic precondition is an appreciation of our own ignorance. We have to recognize that, on virtually any point at all, the most knowledgeable of us may be wrong. Here, however, we confront a psychological impulse common to us all. We are unwilling to face the fact of the unknown because it fills us with fear or imposes on us the strain of a perplexing uncertainty ... "It is a recognition ·of the fact that no man or group of men has possession of ultimate truth, that at best only partial, contingent, and tentative truths, mixe~ with error, are available to any of us; that is the basis for the tolerance of diversity on which our liberal societies were founded. Those societies had .their origin in the age of skepticism, when Western civilization developed the critical faculty that was necessary for the recognition of human ignorance."

Professor Hall's brand of postChristian liberalism may leave so·mething to be desired from the philosophical point of view, but .if we supplement it with a prayerful reading of St. Paul's dassic treatise on charity in First Corinthians, it still makes pretty good sense, especially on the eve of a Presidential campaign-or so it seems to me.

province's English-language universities in about three years time. Quebec, which is predominantly French speaking, has three English language universities-McGill, Sir George Williams and Bishops - alI with an AngloProtestant tradition. Loyola College has made numerous bids for a university charter, all of them unsuccessful. Its degrees are granted through the University of Montreal. Auxiliary Bishop Leonard J. Crowley of Montreal expressed the fear of 'squeeze play' tactics in a letter to Education Minister Francois Cloutier: "After reading the (Council of Universities) report," the bishop wrote, "I was left with the distinct impression that the traditional Anglo-Protestant universities had somehow leagued together to promote their own causes and to forget the socialcultural values of an important segment of the Quebec community. 'Confused Thinking' "When a Council of Universities equates the full development of a person with bricks and mortar as the sole criterion, I am not surprised at the confused thinking of, and resulting unrest in, our society. I am certannly not. left with the impression of an unbiased and objective report." Loyola's dean of arts, Father Russell Breen, said McGiU played a key role in the Council of Universities' recommendation on the "non·future of LOYOla." In a letter to Robert E. Bell, principal of McGill University, Father Breen said: "Conscious of the important role traditionally played by McGill as a leader of the Anglophone academic community, I can readily understand how the

brief presented by your university should· become the basis for the council's recommendation on the non-future of Loyola. Merger Talks "I am sure," Father Breen observed, "that it is only a coincidence that the principles which McGill's representatives o~ the council carefully developed for the rationalization of Englishspeaking higher education in our province have as their practical conclusion the preservation of the integrity of the three universities which historically have been of the p.rotestant tradition, and the annihilation of the only English-speaking institution of higher learning of the Catholic tradition in ollr province." Shice 1969, Loyola and Sir George Williams University have been engaged in merger talks at the insistence of the Quebec government. Although much ground has been covered, the talks have not yet been concluded. Loyola does not intend to be buried at this stage by the Council of Universities' recommendation.

Pope Congratulates 'New Patriarch VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has assured the new Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople "that in the bishop of Rome you wiU always find a loving brother." The Pope also discpatched a special delegation to Patriarch Dimitrios' installation as successor to Patriarch Atheagoras, who, died July 7. At the head of it was Archbishop Salvatore Asta, apostolic pronuncio to Turkey. With him at the ceremony was Father Pierre Duprey, W.F., undersecretary of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity. The Pope's telegram to Patriarch Dimitrios read: "At the moment when you are taking on a heavy burden in the service of Christ's church we are determining to express to Your Holiness that in the bishop of Rome you will always find a loving brother who desires to continue to progress toward the day so greatly, desired by your great predecessor when our fully refound unity will be sealed." The new patriarch was described by a Catholic official as '''in precisely the' same spiritual lineage as Athenagoras." The official said: "As a past,or, this man always brought out the full meaning of that word: a shepherd. "He will certainly continue the good relations with Rome achieved by his predecessor."

Thomas Morgan, associate director of Catholic Charities of the Indianapolis archdiocese, described goals of the conference as increasing understanding of the needs of the dying from a "psycho-social" and theological perspective; expanding aware路 ness among professionals, including priests and ministers, of the questions and problems of aged who are dying; and developing creative forms of ministry to the aged and dying.

Advocate of Unity :Patriarch Dimitrios is sa'id to have been the personal choice of the vetoed candidate. Informants say that Metropolitan Meliton, who is a strong advocvate of Orthodox unity, will advise the new patriarch in most matters. Patriarch Dimitrios is essentially a pastoral cleric with little experience in. matters of state, they said. The new patriarch, 269th successor to St. Andrew, will be known as Dimitrios I. He is the former archbishop of Imbros and Tenedos, Turkish islands at the entrance to the Dardanelles. A theoiogian and former teacher of classical Greek, Patriarch Dimitrios is described as a self-effacing man of great spirituaHty. Born Dimitrios Papadopoulos ill Istanbul, he began theological studies at the age of 17 at the island monastery and seminary of Halki. In 1937 he was ordained a deacon. Three years later he was ordained a priest. He speaks French, Greek and Turkish.

Every imaginable creative form surged from the spiritual fire ignited at worship. The majesty of the Byzantine, the soaring prayer of the Gothic, the cosmic nobility of the Romanesque, the ecstacy of the Baroque, the soul of expanding chant and heart bursting polyphony, the windows, the paintings, the vestments, the sculpture, the drama - all these erupted from ~he foaming spiritual energies stirring in the heart of worship. Where today is our Michelangelo, our Palestrina, our Da Vinci? The talents that give rise to such creativity lie deep in the worship event. Is not God the creator stilI the source of creativity? New Burst of Culture Our anti-culture offers us a vision of hell. We must initiate a new burst of culture by a vision of heaven that strives to make man reach beyond himself instead of groveling below his nature. Worship teaches five talents or habits that will enable a new culture. These are a love for life, a wiid amazement at life's richness, an unquenchable' faith in God, a militant moral consc\ence, a high priority on performance. . The anti-culture promotes the opposite habits, namely, a preoccupation with death, boredom with life's· marvelous variety, doubt i:md despair as ideals, the repudiation of moral depth and the substitution ~ of image for substance.

By DR. LAWRENCE LOSONCY Many people have made the mistake of measuring parish . wealth in terms of money or land value. Considering that there are 18,000 parishes, and estimating the national average parish annual budget to be $200,000, only about three and a ha'1f billion are involved. Most of these dolla,rs go into operating expenses. The little which is left could hardly be considered significant in a. country whose gross national product is nearing the trillion mark. No, the real wealth of a parish lies elsewhere: in its people. If a parish numbers 500 families, its wealth includes 500 prime communities, each with a life, a dynamic, a purpose, 'and 'a richness. Inside each' of these communities young people are being guided by older people; love is bubbling up every day like clear cold water coming up from the springs in a lake.. Inside each of these communities relationships are being formed and deepened . every day, relationships between husband and wife, parent and child; brother and sister. These relationships are stronger and longer lasting than even the 'links of forged steel chains, for these links will last for eternity and cannot be broken even by death itself. Parish is Link As one family links with another, an energy is created that develops into a force for good or evil almost instantly. Family links with family, group meets group, neighborhoods.are formed, friends and enemies emerge, sexual by-play and attraction abounds, life throbs a little faster with each passing day. People in thei'r myriad relationship, their primal communities, and their numerous, ever-shifting secondary communal relationship of friendship, business, interest, recreation, economic concerns, and convenience form the true wealth of a parish. A parish is nothing if it is not the larger community of its.peopie. The parish, because it is a slice of life at any present time, is an important and powerful force for the future. Because its roots lie in the past and its legitimate identity comes from ,the diocese and church at large, the parish is a link with the past, a source of heritage, tradition, identity, and vision. The parish is the face of the future and the edge of the past because it is people who are alive, people living in communities of one sort or another. Learning Resources . The learning resources within a parish, then, are nearly beyond estimate. With several thousand adults, think of the skills and experience which are pre~ent in every congregation! Doctors, counselors, teachers, nurses, home economists, lawyers, builders, tradesmen, craftsmen, artists, parents; the list is endless. The parish contains, in its peo-

Letting Our Light Shine Continued from Page Sixteen. Our types of lights can be multiplied over a:ld over. No one needs to do everything. Each one can do something. It is these signs of hope we give to others, that make life worth living both for us and for the hopeless. Christ in speaking of· light says: "Let your light shine before men in order that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

(Mt: 5:16) If we do, others will see it as their beacon-light to life. The light we give may be the only light shining in others' darkened lives. It seems that to put on Christ means to put on his spirit of living light. Just as the light of Christ is brought in procession into the Church on Holy Saturday, may our light radhte Christ to the. world as we walk in the daily procession of life. Then "darkness will no longer have dominion over tht) world."

pleted work, ['ntitled First Impressions, was offered to a publisher when she was 21; it was turned down. When, many years later, it -was published in revised form, it was called Pride and Prejudice. The rebuff did not deter her. She went right on with her writing, novel after novel. A second attempt at publication, when she was 27, also was unsuccessful, as was a third when she was 33. She was 35 when, at last, Sense and Sensibility was accepted.

The Real Wealth

Limited Public At the time, Jane Austen had only six more years to live. In that period several of her books books reaChed the public, a quite limited public, !lnd none Of these books bore her name. She chose to be published anonymously. Her works got very few reviews, and as has been said, brought hE;r very little money. Her worth was ,to be recognized only decades later. Mrs. Hodge does not discuss the matter of the mo'ney which the Austen books have, for the past 100 years, made for other people. It would be interesting to have some idea of the amount and of the beneficiaries. Marquand could set the conditions of work for himself. Jane Austen, however, was always at the. mercy of others. She had hardly any privacy. She always shared a room with a sister, and there were always visitors in the house, including noisy children. She produced some of the most polished, acute social comedy in a.ll English fiction, with an underlying stratum of serious reflection. for example on good and evil. Her life suggested little of the brilliance of her writing.

Continued from Page Sixteen ages people to work together, to hang together instead of hanging separately. Storehouse of Knowledge So strong is the learning impact of a family, neighborhood, and parish community that the young are forever' stamped with the values and beliefs into which they are born Dnd among which they 'grow up. So strong is the educational impact which people exert upon one another in their communities that adults, no matter what their age, will change their attitudes, alter their convictions, and modify their value if others around them exert day-in and day-out influence to do so. It is in the parish that accumulated wisdom, storehouses of knowledge, and the fruit of experience can be called forth and shared. The reason for this is because in a parish, people are important.

The Assode-tion of Catholic Teachers made 17 election complaints, including three directed against State Labor Relations Board representatives who observed the voting. The majority of the charges protest unfair archdiocesan labor practices that union leaders say "intimidated" teachers. The union, which already represents lay high school teachers, complained that pastors and principals "took advantage of teachers, especially 18, 19 and 20-year-olds who are dedicated to the schools" by threatening them with their jobs if they supported the union. Assistant Superintendent of Schools Thomas Forkin coun,tered by saying that "the charges are unfounded" and represent "a last desperate attempt to salvage something from the ill-advised election under Act 195." Act 195, the Public Employee Relations Act, was a point of major dispute in the election. Archdiocesan officials contend that the act is an intrusion of the state into the business of the ChurCh. The union disputes the claim. .'

Thus, we were repeatedly warned dJring the 1960s that unless som~thing was- done about the racial problem American so~ ciety would be literally torn apart. we are being warned presently that it is almost too late to prevent ecological disaster. The rnetoric of terror is defended on the grounds that only when humans are terrified, do they respond rationally. In fact, the rhetoric of terror is simply abe more manifestation of the temptation of intellectual and cultural elites to impose their will dn those who are less intelligent br less educated than they are (a ta~tic manifest in many of tHe McGovern enthusiasts in the presidential campaign though not manifested by the senator himself). LJnatic Fringe I

, The evid~nce is pretty persuasive that such rhetoric of terror is counterproductive. The econuts may h~ve succeeded in mobilizing sOJ1le of their own kind but works like the Meadows' report of PatH Erlich's The Population Bomb, while they may frighten divinity school professors, some elite college students, and the subscribers to the New York Revi~w of Books, have contributed I substantially to identifying in :the minds of most Americans I environmental concern with t~e political and social lunatic fri~ge. As Dostoevski remarked somewhere in The Possessed, the eco-nuts are the kind of peqple "':.ho caricaturize everything with which they have become involved. , Under such circumstances, the appearance 'of Only One Earth: The Care a*d Maintenance of a Small Plan~t by Barbara Ward and Rene Dubois is a most welcome event. Professors Ward and Dubois: are not Pollyannas. They are well aware of the - emergency of environmental concerns but neither do they engage in the rhetbric of terror. They , patiently an? clearly explain the nature of the problems, point out the hopeful :signs as well as the disturbing symptoms, direct the reader'satt~ntion towards the multiple strategies that. are available for taking care of our small planet. Written with the I I

Continuea from Page Sixteen cept that "all believers share in one royal priesthood." He notes that this truth 'and the consequences which flow from it "have come to be overlooked in the course of time." It and they must now be brought back into proper perspective so that the eucharistic celebration once more can become the action of the whole Church with each individual taking "his own full part and only his part." . Unbroken Tradition A Witness to Unbroken Tradition. The Second Vatican Coun~ cil, in directing the restoration of our Mass, used the same phrase, "to the ancient usage of tile holy Fathers," which St. Pius V employed when he promulgated the Tridentine Missal of 1570. Our present Holy Father points out in this preface how his missal of 1970 complements the older edition and how, although separated by four centuries, "both embrace one and the same tradition." Extensive scholarship since the sixteenth century has made it clearer what actually was this ancient usage of the holy Fathers. In addition, peoples' attitudes, which made certain qesirable, modifications impossible in 1570, have in many instances ch!j.nged today. For example introduction of the vernacular during the peI riod of Pius V could have been taken as a denial of the Latin Mass's validity. In our times some might prefer that language, but I think they probably would not judge its, replacement with English as a matter of doctrinal concern. Modern Adaptation Adaptation to Modern Condi· tions. While Our Holy Father takes great care to defend the traditional character of the 1970 Roman Missal, he does not hesi· tate to assert that "it marks a major step forward in liturgical tradition." 'The Vatican II Fathers, he says, "spoke'to a far different age in the world's history." Because of that, their di· rectives for the revised liturgy opened the door for significant reforms which could make Roman Catholic worship more suitable for the, faithful of our time. Pope Paul cites, as illustrations, general permission for use of the vernaciJlar, the new norms for Communion under both kinds, the language of ritual prayers, and, interestedly, the ideal that the laity communicate "under elements consecrated at that same sacrifice." I wonder how well this final recommendation has been impleme,nted in the United States. Matters are better than they were a decade ago, to he sure, but I would venture a guess tnat more hosts still are distributed from the tabernacle than from the altar.

Bishopl Mugavero's Anti-War Statem'ent Draws Criticism BROOKLYN (NC)-Letters reactin~ to Bishop Francis J. Mugavero's stat~ment against continued involv:ement in the Vietnam War haye been running a strong 3-1 against the bishop. The ,:aishop's pastoral letter appeared on: the front page of The Tablet, the diocesan newspaper, and was read at all diocI esan masses July 2. The letter, praised by the National Associa- tion of the, Uaity, criticized the escalation of Ibombing in North Vietnam as "an extension of an action which :long ago exceeded the limits of rrorality." . It endorsed Ian amnesty policy for draft evaders who have left the country and said that Catholic youth may claim conscien, tious objector status by virtue of religious I training. Bishop I Mugavero wrote that the "my country, right: or wrong" theory is not morall~- acceptable when :'thousands of Ihuman beings are suffering and, dying on both sides." I In response to the Bishop's statement, n~arly 100 letters poured into the Tablet's editorial office. A newspaper spokesman called -it the largest readership response to a :specific article in the paper's history. Answering I readers' requests for equal representation, The Tablet printed a sampling of th~ reactions on its front page July 13 as part of a continued "dialogue with the -Bishop." ,i Critici~e Timing I While many of the letters wholeheartedly! supported Bishop Mugavero, some' parishioners were critical of the timing of the anti-war statetnent. Many fel t that'the statement's proximity to the Democratie convention was an obvious attack' on the Nixon 'administration and unfair act of campaigning for the Democratic party. I According to a Tablet spokesman, one argument frequently voiced was the plea for an undy-

ing battle against Communism. Also mentioned was the certainty of 'a bloodbath following the withdrawal of American forces from Southeast Asia: Almost all letter:s condemning the Bishop's statement argued th11t the President has certain classified information that make his decisions more qualified. Therefore the U. S. public should back his policies up to preserve national unity. Many criticized his denouncement of the "my country, right or wrong" philosophy. ~ While a few readers cancelled their subscriptions or walked out of mass in protest, criticisms were levied at the reading of the letter at Mass since it exploited a "captive audience." In some isolated cases, priests a're reo ported to have refused a reading or discussion of the Bishop's letter in the July 2 Mass. Question Authority The 'general feeling among those readers responding unfavorably was that Bis~op Mugavero had gone outside the jurisdiction of the Church. Questions were raised as to whether the Bishop had the authority" to make decisions as to the morality of the war. Letters, which a Tablet spokesman termed "mostly sincere," are still arriving-now in response to other reader's comments. Those readers who approve of the Bishop's stand have praised the statement as a "Christlike pastoral," "relevant leadership," and "deeply Christian expression." Many. of the diocese's priests have written to express their pride in the Bishop. Though the Tablet's letters have been coming in at a rate of 3-1 against the Bishop, the newspaper's spokesman added that, ill matters such as this, parishioners in disagreement are usually more motivated to write a letter-to-the-editor.

Extremes in Church-

LITTLE ROCK (NC) - Father Louis Bouyer, ~ member of the Vatican's Theological Commission, criticized :both progressive and traditionalis't extremes in the I Church. In a talk hereI to a group of • , con.servatlve Catholics, however, the french Oratorian concentrated his atta¢ks on progressives who think i"they are infallible, not the Pope." While Father Bouyer said that some national hierarchies seem to lack leadersHip, he said that last Fall's world Synod of Bishops in Rome may have marked "the start of a counter-reformation." The syn6d, which reaffirmed the trad,itional teaching_ on priestly celibacy, see'med to have realized that extreme progressives have reached a dead end, Father Bouier said. I "We have only two or three years to -do whilt the (Second Vatican) CounCil, wanted done," Father Bouyer said. The council had intended to bring the Church once more in contact with its origins, with the "living tradition" of CatholiCism, he said.

Father Bouyer said that French-speaking bishops of Africa had criticized the bishops of France for a failure of leadership. "It is clear," he said, "the Catholics of mission lands and probably those of Eastern Europe under Communist oppression are dissatisfied with what is going on in the Church of the old, 'still free nations of the West." Several progressive theologians were criticized by Father Bouyer, who said that Father Hans Kung was more of a journalist than a theologian. . He also critkized "integrists" as extreme conservatives, saying _they hang on to "late Medieval" aspects of the Church which are actually corruptions of the Church. Attending the three-day symposium here were representatives of Catholics United for the Faith, the Wanderer, national Catholic weekly, and several journalists and scholars. Retired Bishop Albert L. Fletcher of Little Rock als.:> att~nded several sessions.
