Prelate Sees Danger Of Indifferentism WASHINGTON (NC)-Bernard Cardinal Alfrink de­ dared here that anything less than unity of faith among Christians could lead eventually to religious indifferentism and "sham unity."

labor of the theologians,' he continued. "But when we think really ecumenically, we may never-in my opinion-be able to forget that in the end the unity of faith is at stake."

Cardinal Alfrink, a noted Scripture scholar, said men must seek for the unity Christ wanted among men.

"Must He not have meant more than a mere bond of love between all who believe in Him, or more than a federal con_ nection of the communities who believe in Him, without stress on what we believe about Him and His redemption?" the Car­ dinal asked. .

Bishops To Consider Church

As First Council Business

By Rev. J~hn R. Foister

st. Anthony Church - New Bedford

As soon as the opening ceremonies are over on Sept.

14, the Bishops assembled in Rome for the third session of the Vatican Council will have plenty of work. The first matter of business is the schema entitled "Concerning the Church." This schema con­ Bishops expressed during the sists of a document 220 last session.

Lastly, the document closes pages long. It contains the six chapters examined by the with the text of the two chapters Bishops during the Second Ses­ sion and then the text of these same chapters with the amend­ ments made by the Theological Commis. sion during the 1 ft t e r s e s ­ eion. These amend­ men ts were formed on the basis of the sug. gestions or crit­ icisms made by the Fathers during their debates in council. The two texts are printed in parallel columns 90 that the Fathers will know at a glance the changes proposed.

In addition, every chapter has Its own footnotes. These refer ~ the detailed reports on each chapter. There are then separate, general reports for each of the eix chapters and an additional l'eport to explain how the ori­ ginal text was revised to con­ Ionn with the proposals of the

that must be looked at by the Fathers for the first time. These are not simple hold-overs of ideas suggested before the F·athers came together in coun­ cil. They have been written and re-written in line with the vari. ous comments and proposals ex­ pressed by the Fathers since they began the council. There is hope, therefore, that the chap­ ters will find quick approval from tJ1e majority.

Just what is the "college of bishops"? This the Bishops will have to answer clearly. What did Christ intend concerning the relationship between bishop and bishop, between pope and bishops, between the bishops and the pope in the running of the universal Church?

During the Second Session a sort of "straw vote" was taken.

It decided nothing-it was not meant to. However, it did indi. cate the majority opinion of the Bishops. In short the Bishops stated that they thought: "that Turn to Page Eighteea

Beloved in Christ, On Sunday next, August 2nd, we join in expressing devotion to the Holy Father, in the form of Peter's Pence, Pope Paul ha-s already captured our hearts, and won es­ teem from the whole Christian world by his competence and kindness.

He goes as spontaneously to an orphanage, hospital, or prison, as he went less than a year ago to the places that Jesus loved, in the Holy Land, where he pleaded for true peace and brotherhood among men. We see him as a skilled statesman; but he is more particularly a shepherd concerned for his own and also those not of his fold.

It is heartening to have another g·reat pontiff in the distinguished line of 20th Century Popes. But we must recognize, none the less, that so heavily burdened a leader needs the assurance of prayers, our obedience, and our generous support. Next Sunday brings us our chance to do this. It is little enough to make an offering, once a year, I to help the Holy Father meet his ever growing needs in solioitude for all the Churches. If we but think of what a great expense the Ecumenical Council involves, we might WASffiNGTON (NC) ­ perhaps be a little more generous.

Suraj P. Subherwal of Calcutta, one of eight architects who joined a competition for the de­ signs announced last year by the organizing committee.

Four Platforms The main altar table will be below a lofty canopy formed by eight white triangles terminating in four gables, and with a tall, slender cross reaching up from the center. Four platforms reached by steps will lead up to the altar, affording an elevation which will enable all to see the liturgy in action.

Meanwhile, it was announced that B. R. Sen, director general of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Na­ tions (FAO), will lead discus­ sions in the course of the "Food and Health" seminar to be held under the auspices of the Indian Catholic Bishops prior to the

Archbishop George B. Flahlft, C.S.B., of Winnipeg, chairman 01 the CCC board, said the plaa for changes, approved by the Canadian bishops at a meeting here on April 16, has now been confirmed by the Holy See. To allow time for the prepara­ tion of the necessary texts and the working out of practical de­ tails for implementing the plan, the bishops of Canada have agreed it will go into effect ia this country on Jan. 1, 1965, ac­ cording to an ordinance of the bishops to be issued later thi, Fall.

This date was chosen to give bishops a chance to get home after the third session of the Vatican council, scheduled to close about Nov. 20 to lead in the final preparations for the changes in their respective dio­ ceses. Meanwhile, altar missals and other necessary materid will be made ready.

Similar to U. S. Plan The Canadian plan is similal' to one decreed by the bisho~ 01 the United States, and ex­ pected to be in use by the end 01 this year. But whereas the whereas the Kyrie is to become English in the United States, it will remain in Greek in Canada.

The Collect and PostcommunioB will be in either English 01' or French in Canada, but remam Latin in the United States.

Besides in the Mass, the pin provides for the use of English' and French for baptisms, conffr.." mations and weddings; for the bishop's alocution before eacll order at ordinations; for the sae­ rament of the anointing of the sick, and for funerals, benedie­ tiQn of the Blessed Sacrament and F9rty Hours devotion; for the blessing 01 candles on Feb. 2; blessing and imposing of ashes 'on Ash Wednesday, and for much of the Holy Week liturgy; including the blessintr of pil1ms and the Palm Sunda~ procession, the blessing of 'the holy oils and the washing of feet on Holy Thursday, the liturgical service on Good Friday in honor of the passion and Death of Our Lord, and the Paschal vigil service.

Noted Priest Questions Church Titles, Robes

Millions Flock To Oratory In Montre(d

MONTREAL (NC)-A noted p~iest-sociologist says titleg and robes of office not only have outlived their use­ fulness for cleric'al dignitaries in the Church but they also present a stumbling-block for the unbeliever. Canon Jacques Leclerq, ~ former. professo.r LOUV8/In and fIrst pres 1dent of the International eonference of Religious Soc-, iology, argued that many of the costumes and titles of prelates belonged to another age, that the habit did not make the monk and that "any unbelievers. and persons of weak faith are driven away from the Church by these exterior forms * '" *" No Rapport " «Titles which to them seem 'solemn' and pompous and insignia and robes of office which appear to belong to another age are interpreted as the refinements of a purely human institution '" e '" (they) lead to the eonclusion that there is no raport between the Church and th . t" , ~~sn~il Leclerq noted that the success of many of the minor religious sects is in part due to their si~plicity and the meaningful use of the word "brother."

Canon Leclerq commented on the pope's title: Holy Father"it is more simple than the titles of all his entourage * '" '" yet it does not diminish his prestige."

"The most powerfUl men in the world are •• '" the president of the United States and the leader of the Soviet Union'" '" '" they possess neither'tiUe of hon01' no special robes of office" he sai~., ' Does the Ohurch actually need 1.'hese "exterior trapping'?"

Catholic Schools ,Face Crisis LONDON (NC) - The British government is reported to be con!tidering further aid' for Ca't1l()lic schools now facing a' population crisis in England and Wales. .

GQvernment,oftieials met with the Bishops following the latest offieial 'estimate of an iner'ease in the' school population of 50 per cent by 1970.

The new estimate places Cath­ olic education in an increasingly d,ifticult position. Without more «ub1ltanti.al aid the whole structure of separate govern­ ment-subsidized Catholic schools inside the state system' may collapse.

Asks Review The Universe, national Catho­ lic newspaper, called for a com­ prehensive review of the situa­ tion. to discover whether CatJho­ lics are really getting value for the collossal sums they are spending for their own schools.

"Catholic schools must' stay, but need it be in their present rorm?" i.t asked. "In prospect are the raising of the school leaving age and new forms of higher education for the whole of youth. How can we possibly 'pay for it .all? '" '" '" The bishops may well feel that a committee of experts to scrutinize expendi­ ture and examine needs on the national plan might be set up as a prelude to master planning."

Parish Feast Our Lady of Angels parish, Fall River, will mark its pa­ tronal feast Wednesday through Sunday, Aug. 12 to 16. Activities will include a block dance, Old Timers' Night', Portuguese folk singing, an angelola, auctions, music by brass bands, a chil­ dren's program and vaudeville acts. The religious observance will begin with a high Mass at 11:45 Sunday morning, followed at 1:30 by a procession. Rev. Miguel Pinto, priest from Portu­ gal, will preach.

New York Priest Aids Police Stop Charge Against CORE Pickets NEW YORK (NC)-A prieM; helped police tum back 50 youths preparing to charge Congress of Racial Equality pickets outside police headquarters here.

Father Robert' Perrella of the Church of the Most Precious Blood also, moved repeatedly through a crowd of 300 neigh­ oorhood residents who gatihered te jeer the CORE demonst·ration.

At one point, when 50 yout>hs slipped past police barriers and moved as if to charge the pick­ ets, the priest and a group of policemen stepped in front of them.

"Go home," said the priest. "If God is not color blind, neitlhe!' should we be. Go home."

The youths retreated, although lIhe crowd of spectators did not disperse.

Father Perrella told inquir­ iong reporters he felt the resent­ ment of neighborhood people against the several days of CORE Idemonstmtions stemmed from losses in businesses c~used by the demonstrations.

"I was in a Spring St. rest­ aurant tonight and there was D4l one there all night. People are

HOLLYWOOD (NC) The heavy volume of mail sent Vatican Radio daily by Latin Americans indicates

"The stomach h'ag never been baptized," says Rev. Orfeo Mantovani, S.D.B., Salesian missionary who has devoted his priestly life to succoring the poor of India, and is in charge of a social relief center in Madras, a city of one and a half million on the Bay of Bengal.

"The price of a- human life in India is seven cents a day," he says, in trying to explain to well-fed Amerioans the un­ UntQucbables, the lowest class believable conditions under in Indi/l, considered legally, not which his people live. Seven even to exist. cents provides two meals for "Education is about the only

Father Thomas J. O'Donnell, 5.J., one of 25 Jesuit Fabhers who devote full time to the Va.ti­ can Radio spoke at the nationa[ convention of Catholic Daugh­ ters of America at the Hote~ Diplomat. • Explaining that 35 programs are, broadcast weekly to the Americas, seven to the United States and Canada and the re­ mainder to South America, Fr. O'Donnell said mail from Latin America "indicates there are el­ ements trying to lift Latin Amer­ .tea out of the state to which it has fallen."

Authentic News The IriSh-born priest, pointing out that the station broadcasts in 31 languages, said pa<rticular emphasis is placed on broadcasts beamed behind the Iron and Bamboo curtain. , 'The people in Russia and eastern European countries de­ pend on broadcasts for authentic news, teaohing and encourag­ ment. Through the Vatican Ra­ dio, bishops in these countries oan get knowledge of the docu­ ments of the Holy See, of news items of the Catholic world and Chief events in the free world," he said. ' Father O'Donnell said that 45 collaborators from colleges in Rome assist the Jesuit Fathers in script writing. While 235 pro­ grams are broadcast each wee:, to 28 different countries in Eur­ ope, he said, 47 are broadcast to Africa and Asia in Engli$h, French, Portuguese, and Swahili.

Programs to India, Pakistan and Ceylon, are broadcast in English, French and Hindu, he said.

Nepal Determined

To Remain Hindu'

KATHMANDU (NC) - Prime Minister Tulsi Giri has reaf­ firmed Nepal's resolve to remain Hindu in its orientation and ed­ tlcation, thus dooming any hopes that Christian missionary work might be permitted in the future.

In a public statement one year alter Nepal's social code out­ lawed conversions to Christian­ ity and Islam, Giri declared his country would officiallly sup­ port the Hindu religion as set down in the constitution.

"We will have to rebuild this eountry on great Hindu ideals," said Giri, adding that the San­ skrit language, the "storehouse of Hindu wisdom and thought," was bound to play an increas­ ingly important part ill the na­ tion's development.

For want of this pittance, a mother came to the Italian-born missioner with her six childi"efi.

"Take them, or I will kill them." she said. "If I keep them it wiH take 15 or 20 days for them to die of hunger. If I kill them it will take only five minutes."

The missioner'took them. To­ day they smile, but they are only a handful out of thousands who a,re born and die in the streets of Madras and never in their lives have a full meal.

On a recent trip to the United States, where he visited the Lahey Clinic for treatment of a diabetic condition, Father Man­ tovani commented ruefully, "If we were to have what you throw away here, we could be rich people."

He is trying to raise funds for a clinic, a school, a nursery and a kitchen and notes that it costs $25 a year to mainta'in an Indian ~n conditions a step above semi­ starvation.

For those even 'luckier, there is one cot, "on which a few can spend their last hours before the grave."

Works in Exile For Slovakia MIDLAND (NC) For 11 months of the year, Father Jo­ seph V. Adamec serves as assist­ ant pastor at Blessed Sacrament parish here. But comes July and he takes off on a month-long missionary tour-seeking, reli­ gious vocations for persecuted Slovakia.

This year his one-man cam­ paign is taking him to Toronto, Ont., Buffalo, N. Y., Nu'tley, N. J., Wilkes-Barre, Allentown, Lansford, Villanova and Mun­ hall in Pennsylvania, Falls Church, Va., Whiting, Ind., Ni­ agara Falls, Ont., Scituate, Mass., Clifton, N. J., and the Lake­ wood-Cleveland, Ohio area.

Proficient in Language Although temporarily assigned to the diocese of Saginaw, Father Adamec has an unusual status.

He is a Michigan native, but on July 3, 1960, he was ordained in Rome to serve the Church in the diocese of Nitra, Slovakia. Com­ mbunist persecution of the Church there has prevented him from going to Nitra and accounts for his one-man missionary cam_ paign.

Father Adamec is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Ad'amec of Bannister, Mich. While a stu­ dent at Michigan State Univer­ sity, he read a news item about the possibility of studying for the priesthood to serve the Church in Slovakia, his parents' homeland. That decided his vo­ cation. His family background -and his own proficiency with the Slovak language, he felt, would aid him in working for lite Church in Slovakia.

Several from the Fall River Diocese are numbered among helpers of Father Mantovani's mission, moved by suoh state­ ments as his explanation of why he defers preaching to these poorest of the poor and concen­ tl'ates on physical care: "It is absolutely essential to bring them materi'al relief before we can speak to 1Jhem about God and thei-r immortal 9OUts. Fancy me telling them that Christ died to save us, when their hungry stomachs are pining for a morsel of fJOod. Fancy my preaohing to them about the love of God, our Father, when the injustice and callousness of men compels l1hem to rummage the garbage bins in search of an orange or banana peel to satisfy their hunger."

Urges Catholics Support law LITTLE ROCK (NC)-Bishop Albert L. Fletcher of Li,tHe Rock bas called on Arkansas Catholics for "full compliance" with tJhe new civil rights law.

Bishop Fletcher said the civil rights act should be regarded as a challenge "to require all of us as citizens to give every man at least that which he can expect of us as his brother in Christ."

The Bishop conceded that the new law is "not to the liking of many people, particularly in this part of the country."

"But," he said, "these are not questions for the individual citi­ zen or group to decide. Except

where a law is contrary to a

man's conscience, he is obliged to follow it. We are a people governed by law. If the time ever comes when we do not recognize the binding force of law on us, there will be no law in the land and we will have anarchy."

N. Y. Catholics Offer Prayers For True Peace NEW YORK (NC) Prayers were offered in Catholic churches here at the request of Francis Car­ dinal Spellman for "true peace" in Ilhis city tense over rioting b;y Negroes in Harlem and a section of Brooklyn.

In addition, Cardinal Spellman sent a telegram of encourage­ ment to Mayor Robert Wagner after the mayor made a fervent plea over radio arid television ror law and order.

Cardinal Spellman told the mayor he listened to "yOUi' ex­ cellent address" with "g,reat in­ terest and wholehearted appro­ val."

"Asuure you of my fervent prayer that your eloquent plea will be effective in bringing peace to our troubled city for the welfare of all our citizens," said the Cardinal's telegram.

Auxiliary Bishop John J. Ma­ guire, vicar general of Ilhe a1'C!h­ diocese, dispatched to priests of the See, shortly after the cardinal's telegram to the mayor, a letter which said: Urges .Justice, Love "His Eminence has requested the faithful of the archdiocese to join with him in prayer 00 Al­ mighty God on behalf of the wel­ fare of our fellow ciltizens of New York City.

"Only through the practice of understanding, justice and love on the part of all men of good will, will true peace be attained in these troubled days."

The letter asked pastors to ar­ range for "appropriate prayers" to be offered at all Masses Sun­ day.

Parents' Retreat DETROIT (NC)-Some 40 cou­ ples whose sons attend Sacred Heart Seminary here made a weekend retreat at the sem­ inary. The couples lived in the rooms their sons occupy during the school year. They ate in the refectory, attended confer­ ences and Masses in the semi­ nary chapel.

Trail Blazing

Much Lost Leaders in the struggle for civil rights must be in anguish over recent events in New York City and Rochester. Men and women who have suffered and worked for decades to gain for the Negro the rec()gnition of his equality before the law have seen defiance of the law in many. ugly ways. '. .

It is true that the frustrations of many years had reached the boiling point but there was nothing to be gained in allowing it to explode. And the fact of vandalism' and looting hardly stands as a recommendation of respson-:­ sibility. ' ,. . . ..' . ' ..

Perhaps the rioting of the last week is not so much a race issue as another example of defiance of authority, of o~n contempt for the law which alone can keep America from a fa]] into jungle tactics. L;atest F.E.I. reports point to a frightening upswing in major crimes; a rise aU out of proportion to the population g~wth. There is in the country -trn:~ attitude that· whatever a person wants he should go after, no ~atter w.ho gets hurt in the process.

It ·is.a childish and immature approach and all the more sinister when motivating adults. and' young ~dults with the capability of doing terrible harm. , There must be reestablished in the nation's families a respect for law arid order,' a respect for legitimate author­ ity. Parents must not only teach these attitudes to their children-they must themselves give the exampl~.

Those in positions of authority, the police, for exam­ ple, must outdo themselves in zeal and understanding and firmness that they might personify all the more the dignity of the law that they must uphold.

Now that the explosions in Harlem and Rochester have settled down, there must be renewed efforts to heal the wounds recently caused. And a]] members of the commu­ nity must work for the common goal-brotherhood among men.

It would also be we]] for those outside these areas to question their own degree of Christian kindness and ac­ ceptance of Negroes. The fad that a person may be living in a community where there are comparatively few Negroes must not allow him to assume the complacent attitude that he is unprej udiced.

Laws are not going to solve all the problems of preju­ dice and injustice. But the keeping of the laws will create the atmosphere that is needed for brotherhood to grow.

Much has been lost in the last several days-it is to be hoped that it be not irreparable.

The Past

Within twenty-four hours, the world will know if America has been successful in landing a camera-carrying spacecraft on the surface of the moon. It is a tribute to the fast-moving world and the adaptability of people in it that such an attempt is being viewed with interest but with none of the wide-eyed amazement that this Buck Rogers feat would have commanded a decade ago.

One wonders what effect such events will have on the youngsters of this generation. Older folks have made the transition from the Tin Lizzie age to this Space Age with varying degrees of acceptance and delight. But the young­ sters of this age are growing up at a time when nuclear power and reaching the moon are concepts as common to them as the vitamin-packed cereal that pops and cracks before them at breakfast.

The wonder of television, the marvel of the transistor, the phenomenon of super-sonic speed-:...all these today's child cuts his teeth on. What will be n'eededto reach his jaded tastes and give him the thrill of discovery! What will come to inflame his imagination and· bring him to a new frontier!

The wonders that are to come still remain to be sources of future delight. But the past also has power to excite.

And it is amusing to read where modern children are find­ ing such pleasure out of the sight of an outmoded coal­ burning train or a Roaring Twenties automobile.

The past still has much to offer.

By UEV. ROBERT W. HOVDA, Catholie University TODAY-Mass as on Sunday.

However diverse his manifesta­ tions in our lives'and deeds, the basic, es:;ential gift of the Spirit j~ the faith that says "Jesus is the Lord" (First Reading).

"It is only through the Holy Spirit that anyone can say" this.

"The marl who humbles himself" (Gospel) is already exalted­ 1'01' in accepting the gift of Christ he finds his own dignity ~lDd glory.

TOMORROW - st. Ignatius, 4Jonfessor. "There is· no impris­ oning the word of God" (First Hea'ding), nor is its power to be gauged by any criteria of human success in its preaching. The preacher may be imprisoned, but his very imprisonment be­ ('omes a witness to the word of God whic:h may be more power­ ful than any words he could titter to an applauding crowd.

If som e of us have forgotten this, the civil rights workers in our country have remembered it. The ;neans, the equipment, the armor of the preacher of the gospel are different from those of any other human venture (Gospel). .

the Spirit, can be ours, too. He who makes "the deaf hear and the dumb speak" wills that we should all share His glory. So His glorious, risen humanity radiates the Holy Spirit to all humans.

MONDAY-Mass as on Sun­ day. The good news of His sav­ ing life' and' the holy sign of His Body and His Blood-these are the means of identification with Him which His Church possesses, ministers, celebrates.

Temporal and Spiritual Logic Basis for Clerical Celibacy

THE ANCHOR -

Alumnae Groups To Mark Jubilee

.

By Joh. J. Kane, Ph.D. . ''Why can't a priest marry, love his wife, and stm perform his duties? The Eastern rite has married priests.

I am seventeen and my boy friend just entered the seminary.

I never have said a word of this to him because a vocation :is priceless. I never doubted the ecooomic costs that any doctrines or traditions merely would be involved if priests had of the Church but now this to be paid salaries sufficient to question bothers me. Piease maintain a separate home and answer, I need it."

Carolyn, allow me to com­ mend you for speaking so hon­ estly of a prob­ lem that bothers you. In this way it can be brought out in­ to the open, discussed, and hopefully your mind can be put at rest. It was considilrate of you not to mention this to your boyfriend.

I do not think that it would have changed his mind, but it might have disturbed him.

The first priest, bishop and Pope was a married man, St. Peter. Undoubtedly, he did love his wife and there is even less doubt that he performed hia duties exrellently, even to the death of a martyr.

.Llle of ContiDenee In the beginning of the Church celibacy was not required, but at the beginning of the fourth rentury the Spanish Synod of Elivera ordered married clergy to live in continence. This idea spread throughout the Church and the First Lateran Council of 1123 declared marriage for the higher clergy not only illegal but invalid.

Among Catholics of most Eastern rites in the past married men could be ordained and re­ tain their wives. This is no longer true. Once ordained. a single man could not marry. If his wife died, remarriage was prohibited. Bishops had to be IIlingle or widowers. So the East­ ern Church wHiC'h you mention also encourages celibacy.

Celibacy of the clergy is based apon ecclesiastical law and there is no indication that it will be changed. Perhaps you have read in the papers of some mar­ ried ministers, converted to Catholicism, who have been sublequently ordained and continue

tlo live as married men. This is • very special case. They are few in number and represent no type of general change in Church discipline.

Virglnlt7 Valued Reasons for celibacy of the e1ergy are both spiritual and temporal. Virginity. has always been valued by the Church. It is the voluntary giving up of the right to marry for the love o!. God. Through it, priests and religious can devote themselves exclusively to God/II service without the worries and problems necessarily associated with· being a husband and father. ,At this point certain misunderstandings sometimes oec~. ~" want to make this matter clear.

Married people sometimes reeent statements about how the Church values virginity. But eVeryone must realize God calls him or her to • certain state of We. .

For the married, inarriage is ebe highest state of life because 6at is the one to which God ealled them. St. Paul. who wrote often on virginity, also called lW;UTiage "a great sacrament."

Advantaces 01 Celibaq Aside from the spiritual or tlUpernatural aspects, celibaq bas been a tremendous" adVIlll­ taee to the Church. a lot JIIOt,

wife and family.

Protestants manage to support their ministers who have wives and children. Catholics could do so too, albeit ministers are about the lowest paid professional men in the United States aside from priests.

It is rather the detachment from worldly cares that enables a priest to have a singleness of purpose denied most married men. The diocesan priest must be prepared to accept a transfer whenever the bishop so decides.

He may move from a wealthy, urban parish to a poverty stricken one in a depressed area.

Married men sometimes have to accept transfers too. When they do, they and their wives express concern over the type of community in which they have to rear their children. Are the 9C'hooIs adequate? Are there cultural advantages? Is the cli­ mate suitable for them. and their children? If the prospect seems immeasurably bleak, a married man may resign and look for another job. This a priest cannot do.

Ministers' families live in a fierce glare of publicity. When their children engage in what would otherwise be considered typical teenage tricks, they are magnified out of all proportion.

Even their" wives at times suffer unfair and extravagant criticism.

Catholics have extraordinarily high expectations of their priests.

While the violent anti-clerical­ ism of some European countries has never" been known here, and' hopefully never will be, criti­ cism of the clergy is not rare.

What a· heyday such critics might have if priests were mar­

ried! .

So far as Religious are c0n­ cerned, marriage would be ut­ terly impossible. Religious live in community life, an impossi­ bility for a married man. The problem of foreign missionariel is still another one.

MIsSionary Work One can only admire the hero­

ism of ministers, their wives and children, who take up residence in certain areas of the world for missionary purposes. Some have recently suffered death as a resuIt. Here again, the Catholic priest has an advantage. Unen­ cumbered by a family, he can move more easily and more freely. He can live under con­ ditions which would prove most trying for a married man.

But even when you list the material reasons for celibacy, they do seem inadequate. You can only appreciate it on the .supernatural level. What the ; priest. is asked to sacrifice • ~ great. He voluntarily gives up . the love and companionship of" a woman" for the love of God and the love of mankind. .

But God is never outdone i1l "generosity. He provides the necessary graces for this state of life. While the priest has no children of his own, he ia • father to alL Perhaps this will help you understand the reasons for a. celibate clergy. Many boyS and girls wbo later become priests, brothers, and nuns have dated before entering the seminary and religious life. But they have freely made their choice. On your part, you can pray for your friend that God will help hint . ~q.zne a Cood. and holy priut.

For the rest there may be an interview with a Ohristian per­ 80naHty occasionally or a brief discussion, usually on an eady Sunday evening, when a relig­ ious topic in the news may be eonsidered "impartially" by sup­ porters and oppor.ents.

Otherwise the television and the radio are controlled by those who think they know what the public wants.

Cuban Resettlements TOD 80,000 Mark MIAMI (NC)-1'he number of Cuban refugees resettled in the U.S. outside the Miami area has passed the 80,000 mark, and Catholic Relief Services-Nat­ ional Catholic Welfare Confer­ ence has accounted for well over half of them.

New figures released by the Cuban Refugee center here show that resettlements in other parts of the country- as of mid-July total 80,136. Catholic Relief Ser­ vices has resettled 46,908 Cubans while the agency accounting for the second largest number has resettled 17,075.

Be­ sides the 80,000 resettled with jobs and sponsors elsewhere, several thousand have left the Miami area without resettlement assistance from the center, while en estimated 80,000 remain here.

Kennedy Schoc.1 l"raining Plan Effective Program Lead!; to Full-Time Employment CHICAGO (NC) Modern miracles are happening at the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., School for retarded children here.

This is evident both in the school's regular educational pro­ gram and in its job-training center, now a little more than two years old, where young peo­ ple are given experience to fit them for outside employment.

"An Oppwtunity for Dignity Through Work," the motto of the job-training center, has a true ring.

Sister Pierre, school adminis­ trator, cites as one example a letter from Abel postmarked Hawaii. "Abel made the Navy," said Sister Pierre, "and he'. really 'seeing the world.'''

Got Good Start "I'm so glad the Sisters and everyone else at Kennedy gave me such a good start," the letter read. "Believe me, I appreciate it now."

Closer to home is Ronnie, now working full time for a construc­ tion firm. "Ronnie's a good in­ fluence and the men like him," said Michael A. Lombard, head of the firm which employs Ron­ nie. "He has good work habits."

Since Ronnie has no home, he has a room at the school and

Sacrament of Penance' Deed Of Spiritual Tranquility

God Love You

By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, DoD. Every priest has an immediate and affectionate devotion tit

By Joseph T. McGloi~ S.J. Sometimes, when you think of the gifts God has giwn to you a8 a human being, and particularly as a Catholic, you can get pretty frightened over the whole thing. It's only reasonable to suppose that He's going to ask us for an account of every gift alid and the result should ' be spir­ talent. You consider gifts itual joy in the love and for­ like the Holy Eucharist and giveness of God. the Sacrament of Penance, Dual Purpose for instance, and you wonder how anyone - especially you ever could make sufficent use of such awesome gifts as these.

One thing's for sure - many a non _ Catholic would give a right arm or two to receive Christ in Holy Communion or to be as sure as 'T 0 u are 'that J'our sins are forgiven.

Unfortun.'ltely, we Clrlholics take these marvelous gifts for granted, as though they were as ordinary as our next meal, or as though we were somehow doing God a favol' by using them, or even as somewhat unpleasant duties. .

There is something very nearIy blasphemous about the CathoUc's expression, "1 have to go to Mass," Oll' "I have to go to Confession," not unlike saying -r. have to take an occasional ride in this Cadillac my father got for me at the sacrifice of his life."

Penanee a Gift Take the Sacrament of Penance, for instance. All too often, instead of lo()king at the gift this

is, we concentrate on its difficul... ties, real or ![maginary. We don't like the annoyance of probing into our conscience; the nuisance of going out of our way to Confession; the humility it takes to' confess Our !rins to a man, even when we know he's only an· agent of God'.

It may ~ven be that we have, on occasion, lfficountered a priest who seemed something less than 100% patient or kind to us in the confessional. Ordinarily, the' priest's attitude in the confessional is formed by a great awareness that he is in the place of Christ, and that therefore the only way he has any right to act is as Christ would act. When he forgets this,' ,he's goofing.

When he remembers it, he's act.. ing like a priest. In either case, it's not part of the penitent's job to judge - or misjudge him" much less to appreciate a Sacrament less because of a human agent's human shortcomings.

The difficulties to Confession are only the sort of minor obstaele which provide the challenge' in anything really worthwhile, and so they should be disre,arded, or, better still, offered up as part of our penance. Usu- . ally, the penance the priest as­ 8igns us is in ridiculous propor­ tion to our guilt anyhow.

But this ltl supposed to be, above all, the sacrament of. peace. And se, the approach and everything connected with the Sacrament, should be from the. yiewpoint of calmness and peace,

I"dall Elevator BUCKFAS1'LEIGH (N C ) Benedictine Blonks of ,Buckfast Abbey here in Engiand are themselves installing an eleva­ tor .for four persons in the east wing of the monastery. Father Paul Patterson, O.S.B., an elec­ trical engineer before entering the novitiate, is doing the job with the help of two lay Bi-othera.

The Sacrament of Penance has two purposes--the removal of sin, and (the one most com­ monly forgotten) the prevention of sin. In fact, only here, in this Sacrament, do we get the unique, direct grace to avoid sin. And there are lots of conclusions to this fact - therefore, our ap­ proach should be '. calm and peaceful; therefore, our Confes­ sions should be frequent-weekly or at least bi-weekly; therefore, we ought to avoid the stupid cliche, "I have to go to Confession," once and for all.

Confession should be some­ thing of an event in our lives.

So try to make it such by some such system u this: I-Reflect for a moment that you're in the presence of God. 2--Talk with Him. And don't forget to listen a little. Thank God for all he's done for you since your laSt Confession - for instance, giving you this chance to go to Confession again.

4--Ask His help to know your sins, in getting at their causes and recognizing their occasions.

5-Examine your conscience.

But do it very, very 'briefly.

Your serious sins will stand out like a fifth wheel anyhow.

6--Tell God you're sorry.

7-Tell Him you're deter­ mined not to offend Him again.

8-Make your Confession; sim­

ply, honesUy and frankly. The

one Person you can be complete­

ly honest with is God, and this

is between you and God.

9-Say your penance, or do

it, as soon as you can, even

though there is no obligation

to do it at any specified time uriless the 'priest so stipulates. lo-Thank God (just as you thanked the priest) for the dhance He's given you once more' to make use of this incredible gift.

Confession is one of the great­ est means God has given us for getting closer to Him and for assuring our eternal salvation.

At the day of judgment, when Christ asks us, "Did you make use of this help I gave you to avoid sin?" it's going to sound pretty thin if we have to answer, "Sure, when it wasn't too incon­ venient."

Remember that one essential difference between Peter and Judas was that the former had the humility to make a good Confession and the latter did not.

tlhe mother of another priest. All the faithful in like manner bear to a tender respect as they say: "She is the moflher of a priest."

It is almost an echo of what the Apostles must have said of Our Blessed Mother: "She is the Mother of our Hig:h Priest."

No mother makes. son. priest in the sense that she"mllrht make him a musician. The vocation must eome from God: "I have chosen you; you have not chosen Me." The mother's honor eomes, then, from bein&' an instrnment of God in the making of • priest. She is the bed of the river throu&,h which the waters of priestly grace flow. Before God wills any son to be a priest He first wills the mother of the priest, just .. before becominc Incarnate Our Lord willed His Mother.

He made her before He took His human nature through her. The honor of be­ eoming the mother of • priest derives from her cooperation with the eternal de­ signs of God. Like Mary, she too says "Fiat"-''Be it done unto me aceording to Thy Wotd"-and what ill born of her ill "another Christ."

CARDINAL WYSZYNSKI

Polish Prelate To Visit U. S. OT'J~AWA (NC) Poland's Stefan. Cardinal Wyszynski will visit Canada late in 1966 follow_ ing a visit to the United States, it was reported here.

The card,inal's visit will mark the UlOOth anniversary of the Christianization of Poland.

The Polish primate last year acceptl~ an invitation of Albert Cardin al Meyer of Chicago to take part in that city's observ­ ance 0:: the millenium in August, 1966. While his itinerary ,is not yet fixed, it is understood he will make a stop in 'Toronto.

Exil«,d China Bishop Con',ention Speaker CINCINNATI (NC)-Two dio­ cese9-one in Red China and 'one without boundaries--are the re­ sponsibility of a Belgian bishop who will speak at the 21st con­ vention of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade, to be held for four days starting Wednesday, Aug. ~:6 at the University of Notre Dame.

Bishop Carlo van Melckebeke technically is bishop of Ning­ hsia in. northwest China, from which he was' exiled by the ChineS(! communists. He will speak on "The Church in China."

For the put 12 years he also has been apostolic visitor to the Oversem, Chinese, numbering some 1:~ million, of whom about 300,000 are Catholics.

'Ilhere are only about 55,000 mothers of priests in the United States. The number could actually be much larger. It is not necessary that a woman swing open the portals of her flesh to be the mother 01. a priest. She can also open the ga<tes of her charity and become the mother of a priest by sacrificing for • seminarian's education, ll't $250 a year or $1,500 for the entire course, through The Society of st.

Cursillo Conference at Michigan state University here. Aug. 19­ 22.

Among the subjects on the agenda is the possible establish­ ment ofa national cursillo sec­ retariat or some other coordinat­ ing body for the movement.

The term "curillo" is f,rom the movement's full title in Spanish, "Cursillos de Cristiandad"-"lit­ tIe courses in Christianity." A cursillo is a three day program of jutensive prayer, study, discus­ sion and community living.

Originating in Spain 15 years ago, the cursillo movement was brought to the U. S. in 1957 by two Spanish aid force cadets taking jet training in Texas. The first cursillo in English and the first for women were held in 1961. Since tlhen an estimated W,OOO Catholic men and women in 30 states have made cursillos.

The movement i5 represented in 26 countries throughout the world.

Prelate Scores Drive-in Films BURLINGTON (NC)-Bishop Robert F. Joyce of Burlington has described motion pictures being shown in many drive-in theaters here as "a source shame."

In a message to Vermont'.

Catholics, the prelate said: "That theaters would show them and newspapers carry their advertisements is a blot on our community's moral sense. The teenagers' own name for some of these theaters-passion pits-­ is apt and descriptive and true."

Bishop Joyce appeal~ tel Catholics to stay.away and see 1hat those under their care al90 do not patronize the theaters.

Suffer Insult HJ ask our people to rise up in their might and to be aroused by this shameful business," he said. It is not necessary for Ull to suffer this kind of insult."

Bishop Joyce's view has been reflected in other quarters here, especially in Chittenden C(}Unty.

The Vermont Sunday News re­ cently said "it has gotten to the point where any self-respecting individual would be ashamed to be seen at some of these movies·· ."

The News called for drive-in theater operators to adopt a code of ethics.

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy This is being written during a sojourn in the country" Your revIewer, in a setting so unaccustomed, has found it; hard to read books, much more write about them. There are so many distractions. One misses the soothing sounds of the city: for example, the he appeared to spend shriek of the police sirens aposition, lot of money on really bad and the moan of the fire clothes, whiC'hhung about h'is sirens; the rat-a-tat-tat of squat frame like skin on a

jackhamme'rs ripping •up pave­ ment which, it seems, was laid only the week before last; the steady beat of h e a v y traffic, occasionallJ7 in­ terrupted by the scream of the brakes suddenly applied and the clash of metal on metal. Not to mention the imperious shrilling of the telephone. Yes, the country s a noisy place, hardly conducive to reading and writing.

I deliberately chose some books which I hoped would prove easy' going, or at least not demand the kind of concen­ tration which is easy in the city.

One of them was The Incon­ gruous Spy (Walker and Com­ pany. $5.95), comprising two novels by John Le Carre, author of the phenomenal best seller The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.

Le Carre Rarity Mr. Le Ca:rre is that rare bird, a literate writer of thrillers. His characters are convincing ap­ proximations of real people, and there are human ,d'imensions to his stories which are starkly absent from most suspense fiction.

Of the efforts bracketed in this volume, the lesser is the second, A Murder of Quality.

Its scene is an exclusive and snobbish English public school, called Carne, which boa~ts of its quality while compromising M' quashing the quality of everyone within its suffocating environs.

The murder victim is Stella Rode; a nice little thing who, although the wife of an ambi­ tious junior master at Carne, has stood out against the school's stern mold. She is so unaffect­ edly good, so bravely simple, in contrast to the hypocrisy and the e 1 abo rat e sophistication of everyone else coneoted witlr.

Carne. WhiclJ makes her brutal murder all the more hideous.

The local police are at a ter­ rible disadvantage, in that the sacred precincts and formidable reputation of Carne keep them from making the close, unspar­ ing investigation required. For­ tunately, however, G e 0 r g e Smiley turns up to help the~. ,Return of Smiley Smiley, who, I seem tn re­ call, had a minor role in T~ Spy Who Come in from the Cold, is a retired spy. He served British intelligence between the wars and during World War n.

Now he is distinctly not enjoy­ ing his enforced idleness; which is once and again enlivened 1fy a eall for his active services.

College Centenary CASHEL (NC) - The Holy Ghost Fathers' Rockwell College here in Ireland began a week­ long celebration of its looth an­ niversary with a Solemn Pon­ tifical Mass presided over by one of its alumni, Michael Car­ dinal Browne, O.P., former su­ perior general of the Dominican Order and now a member Qf the Roman cuda.

shrunken toad," the author kindly says of him. And another character comments, "Looks like a frog, dresses like a bookie, and has a brain I'd give my eyes for."

That brain Smiley uses to good purpose in solving the murder at the murderous school, and in the course of his search he finds that hardly anyone con­ nected with Carne is what he or she appears to be.

He also hears some intel'esting things about many matters. For example, why the graduates come back to visit. The reasot: isn't love of school; rather it is that they.may renew their gr-asp on the one lesson they learned from the masters - "that we grow old without growing wise."

Or again, about the difference between two sorts of wives: one is good at helping without man­ aging; the other manages like mad, but doesn't help at alL Smiley Triumphs Smiley is at work, too, in the first story. Call for Dead, which is more readily recognizable as akin to The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. The' scene here is London, and the first victim is Samuel Fennan, a Foreign Office employee with access to official secrets. Fennan sup­ posedly commits suicide after Smiley, recalled to duty, quizzes him in a loyalty probe. Actual­ ly, the probe turns up nothing to Fennan's discredit, and Smiley is sure that his death was not /lelf-inflicted.

Before he can establish this as fact, he goes through a series of adventures, suffers violence, and is confronted with other deaths.

But he unravels the mystery at

last.

Espionage is Squalid As in the novel which finally brought him fame and fortune, Mr. Le Carre is here concerned to show that espionage, far from being glamorous, is a squalid business, and to indicate the tangle of values and of moral principles in which it is in­ volved.

We see dedicated people doing questionable and sometimes out_ right evil, things for the sake of a cause which they hold to be noble and for which tbey are prepared to make any sacrifice.

Mr. Le Carre, while entertain­ ing us royally, is also peppering us with disturbing queries as to ends and means. That is the trouble with this newest master of the suspense story: he makes us think.

Scandal

STUTTGART (NC)-Division among Christians was called "a scandal. for the world" that "weakens the credibility of the Christian message" by Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., in a broad­ cast over the South German Radio.

The head of the Church's sec­ retariat for Promoting Christian Unity discussed two means of bringing unity closer, prayer and conversations between experi­ enced representatives of the Christi~ln churches or commu­ nities.

He said of these conversations that they must be held in the spirit of truth and charity and are not intended, as contrasted with political discussions, to reach c:>mpromises.

Adherence to Truth The purpose, he explained, is to "beeome better acquainted with the standpoint of the con­ versation partner and to test it

by Chri;;tian documents that are accepted by botb parties with unbroken adherence to the truth."

"If cal:ried on in humble char­ ity," he continued, "the conver­ sation will aid better under­ Ittanding of the truth, of the ,tJther party, of oneself, and as­ (ilist mutual agreement as well l'S the possibility of collabora­ l:ion in many areas."

Priests and Sisters Must

Commit Selves to Cause

Kennedy Scores Immigration Law As Unfair

OLEAN (NC)-Priests and Sisters were urged here at New York's St. Bonaventure University to be "totally committed in the cause of civil rights" and to "follow the lead of their bishops by grassroots work in race relations."

Fr. Roy Gasnick, O.F.M., the Church not only to' let fresh national moderator of Action air in, but also to release the for Interracial Understand­ strong winds of Christian com­ ing, a Franciscan Third mitment to a world in chaos."

Order movement, and professor at St. Bonaventure University, made this plea during a sympo­ soium on "The Christian Com­ mitment in Race Relations" at the university.

"The silent voices and empty h~nds of neutral priests and Sis­ ters are the best rationalization :for the uncommitted and the best weapon for those against commitment," Father Gasnick said.

"A Catholic all- too often could

go through his whole life," he

said, "without ever hearing a,

sermon on the morality of racial

discrimination preached in his

parish."

Father Gasnick said Pope John XXIII "opened the windows of

Tells Boy Scouts Obedience First VALLEY FORGE (NC) ­ Obedience modeled on Christ's should be the characteristic trait of a Boy Scout, the bishop~mod­ erator of the Catholic Commit­ tee on Scouting told Catholics at the national Boy Scout Jamboree here.

Imitation of Christ «means

obedience to God's will at any :€ 'Ost and under any circum­ f,tances." Bishop Wililiam G.

Connare of Greensburg, Pa.,

caid.

"Surely this is not strange ianguage for Scouts. By oath and by law yoU' are pledged to obey

God and to follow His plan always."

Prelate Otfers Mass Bishop Connare preached the sermon at a pontifical low Mass offered for Catholic Scouts and adult leaders by Archbishop John P. Cody, apostolic admin­ istrator of New Orleans and episcopal chairman of the Youth Department, National Catholic Welfare Conference.

The Mass was one of scores of religious services representing many denominations held mid­ way through the jamboree which was attended by some 52,000 Days and adult leaders.

Nearly 50 Catholic priests as well as dozens of clergymen of

other faiths were on hand to

minister to the needs of the Scouts, whose daily activities in­ cluded a morning prayer period immediately after 7 A.M. reveille.

Maryknoll Sisters Re-elect Superior MARYKNOLL (NC) The :Waryknoll Sisters re-elected :/Iother Mary Colman as mother ';€'::leral for a second six-year '€ ' !'m in an election during the \.'uI"1d-wide "general chapter" of ~'1e 1,600-member congregation.

A. veteran missioner, Mother ;",'l'ary Colman, of Wilkes Barre, Fa., spent yea,rs in the Philip­ pine Islands at Maryknoll Col­ :ege in Manila.

"Total commitment by priests and Sisters is demanded by their vocation as leaders of the Chris­ tian community," he declared.

He called for leadership by priests and Sisters in preaching sermons, organizing parish dis­ cussion and action groups, co­ operating with civic and secular organizations such as the NAACP, cooperating in inter­ religious efforts, and all-out instruction on racial justice in the, classroom.

Vote to Extend Education Act WASHINGTON (NC) - The House Education Committee has approved extension of the Na­ tional Defense Education Act, including revision of two sec­ tions private school supporters claimed were unfair to their teachers.

Sent to the House Rules Com­ mittee by a 19 to 6 party-line vote, the bill would extend the 1958 law two years beyond its expiration date of June 30, 1965.

Sponsored by Rep. Edith Green of Oregon, the bill's chl\nges include extending a for­ giveness of debt feature to pa­ rochial and other private school teachers and permitting non. public school teachers to get stipends while enrolled in Fed­ erally sponsored institutes.

I Extend Feature

Under the present law, a eol­ lege student who borrows from the Federal government to fi­ nance his education can get up to 50 per cent of his debt for­ given if he teaches five years in a public grade or high school.

That feature would be extended to those who teach in non-public schools or in colleges.

Furthermore, the reVlSlOJl would permit private sclIooI teachers to receive the stipend now given to public school teachers enrolled in special in. stitutes in subjects such as math­ ematics and guidance counsel­ ing. The stipend is $75 a week, plus $15 weekly for each de­ pendent.

Cites Broader Role

For Catholic School NEW YORK (NC)-Catholic schools today cannot afford to be "merely oases in a wicked world," a Catholic college pres­ ident said here.

Brother L uk e Maurelius, F.S.C,. president of Christian Brothers College in Memphis, Tenn., said Catholic schools should be "integrated elements in the community where learn­ ing must be whole-a synthesis of the newly oriented religion experiments and the best secu­ lar scholarship."

Brother Luke spoke at the 25th annual conference of the Christian Brother Educational Association, held at Manhattan College and attended by nearly 150 representatives of Chrjstian Brothers' seven American prov­ inces.

Following UN Troop Pull-out

SHREVEPORT (NC) - With the pull-out of United Nations military forces the sit~ ~+ion in the Congo has reverted tv the "tickHsh" type, the director of Catholic Relief Service-Na­ tional Catholic Welfare Confer­ ence activities there declared.

"The communist threat is very real and ominous," said Father Roland Boderlon, who is visit­ ing at his home here in Louis­ iana after three years in the Congo.

For Cuban Exiles WASHINGTON (NC)-Cuball exiles gathered from various places in the United States for a protest demonstration at the meeting site of the Organization of American States attended Mass in st. Mattlhew's' ca4lhedral here before marching to the Pan American Union building. Aux­ iliary Bishop Philip M. Hannan of Washington was celebrant.

Father Raoul Del Valle, an ex­ iled Cuban priest, recalled to the' exiles the Christian ll}essage of charity and love, and stressed tlie need to remain faithful to religious principles.

Following the Mass, the exiles gathered in the shadow of the Washington Monument and marched to the Pan American Union. The foreign ministers were in meeting there, discuss­ ing the proposals for further sanctions against Castro's Cuba.

The exiles presented a petition for consideration by the foreign ministers, asking them to spon­ sor action against the Castro regime.

He said th8'l: the U.N. forces and the Congolese army have done an effective job of keep­ ing the peace for the' last year.

He said the chief problems were the Katanga province contro­ versy and the Kwilu rebellion which still flares up on occas­ sions.

Aid From U. S. With the June 30 pull-out of the U. N. Forces, the full re­ sponsibility of keeping the peace falls on the Congolese army. He said Belgium is expected to con_ tinue supplying army officers for training of the Congolese army while financial and ma­ terial aid from the U.S. also ill expected.

The imperative problems to be met in keeping the peace, Father Borderlon said, involve the set­ tlement of several province boundaries, approval by popular referendum of the new constitu­ tion, a nationwide election for the legislative assembly, and the setting up of a central govern-' ment under the new constitu­ tion.

Father Boderlon said CRS­ NCWC 'currently has a $3 mil­ lion program of distributing U.S. surplus foods in operation for the Congo.

Kennedy called for dropping the national origins quota sys­ tem which now governs U. S. immigration and replacing it with a preference system oosed on potential usefulness of an immigrant to the nation and on relationship to persons al­ ready living here.

"It is my conviction," Ken­ nedy told a H{)use Judiciary sub-committee considering an immigration reform bill backed

by President Johnson and by ,the late President Kennedy. "t,hat tlhere are few areas in our, law which more urgently deJn81ld reforms than our pre­ sent unfair system of choosing 1fne immigrants we will allow w enter the Uniied States."

Under the nati6nal or'igins quota system, immigration quo­ tas 8!"e allotted to countries 011 the basis of national origins of the U. S. population in 1920.

Kennedy said this system ,"im­ pJiefl that regardless of individ­ al qualifications, a man or worn­ 8'J:l born in Italy or Greece or Poland or Portugal or Czecho­ slovakia or the Ukraine is not as good as someone born HI lTeland or England or Sweden.

"Everywhere else in our na­ tional life we have eliminated discrimination based on one's place of birth. Yet this system is mill tlhe foundation of our immigration law."

The Dutch prelate praised the growing number of friendly con­ taCts among Christian churches.

But he said' only the joint study of Scripture and the preaching of the ancient Church can lead eventually to a true unity of faith.

• In this study, said Cardinal AUrink, both sides must be careful of the other's Christian conscience, and must not expect them to surrender any deeply held belief. The first duty of every Christian, he said,' is to be true to his personal faith.

Sees Posith'e Results "Whoever in' conscience feels obliged to understand the word of God in such and such a way, cannot and may not understand it otherwise."

The theological discussions among Christian bodies are hav­ ing some .positive results, said Cardinal Alfrink. He mentioned that Catholics have a new rev­ erence and respect for the Scrip_ tures, while Protestants are giv­ ing more attention to the sacra­ ments. In other areas, such as the Holy Eucharist, the place of Mary in the Church and the au­ thority of bishops, the churches are drawing together.

He added, however, that as long as there. was no unity of belief about the sacraments, he saw nothing to be gained by intercommunion or taking part in each other's sacraments.

DUBLIN (NC)-Irish Catho­ lics joined their prayers in a special day of appeal for the success of the cano'nization cause of Blessed Oliver Plunket, martyred Irish Primate.

More than 2,000 went by train and bus, to the martyr's shrine at Drogheda, and other' special observances were held at Ard­ patrick, County. Louth, and, at Ballyrack, near Dundalk.

Oliver Plunket was beati­ fied by Pope Benedict XV near­ ly 50 years ago. The long delay in the canonization process, with apparent diniinishing hopes for the sUccess of the cause, is a frequent topic for discussion in Ireland.

A new book on Blessed Oliver contains an introduction by the late Abbot Eugene Boylan ex­ plaining the delay on the basis of "a certain absence of warmth and an attitude of reserve towards him on the part of ~any kish Catholics."

Abbot Boylan asserts that this may be due to Blessed Oliver's CQmplete concentration on reli­ gious duties and refusal to be­ come invoilved in the political struggles of his time.

B 1 e sse d Oliyer, appointed archbishop 0.£ Armagh in 1669, was executed near London in 1681 after a sham trial on charges of plotting a Catholic revolt.

stride. We're not attempting to hang the crepe on Conig by any mea,ns but the psychological impact of successive injuries un­ questionably takes its toll.

Jim Bunning, the Xavier (Ohio) graduate who hurled a perfect game against the Mets last month is finding that his stock has gone up even outside the baseball world. Bunning in

the off season is a securities broker and it seems that his cli­ entele has grown by leaps and bounds since the menwrable Fathers' Day in Shea Stadium.

A case of wanting to shake the hand that threw the ball, no

doubt.

And another young Catholie gentleman who kept the faith through months of trial' earned :for himself a place of distinction in the golfing world. He is Bobby Nichols, 1964 PGA win­ ner, who several years ago was so seriously injured in an auto­ mobile accident that his life hung in the balance. Recovery

was slow and painful, ·the future

in golf, nonexistent. Nichols, however, felt otherwise. He at­ tended Mass daily, prayed to St. Jude for help and guidance, and hung in tllere through adversity.

Anent Spahn Last week we talked a bit about the declining fortunes of Braves' ace, Warren Spahn, and conjectured about his being relegated to relief duty. It hap­ pened last Sunday, but not be­ fore Manager Bragan had given Spahn another Starting shot.

Belted out by the Mets after only 1 % innings in the opener, the great lefthander came back in' relief to protect the Braves' lead in the night cap.

In a syndicated interview early this week, Spahn was de­ scribed as being unable to ac­ count for his loss of effectiveness. Physically, he contended, he never felt better. In reCent years, he admitted arm soreness despite which he went on to win 20 or more games. About quitting, he says "I can't until 1 know I've had it." Manager Bragan's reaction: "What d'o you think?" .

That young righthander with the Ted Williams Camp team in the Southeastern Mass. circuit comes by his pitching prowess naturally. He is Joe Coleman Jr., son of the fQrmer Athletics ace in the late era of the incompar­ able Connie Mack. The y()ung­ ster is highly regarded and by no less an expert than Ted W. himself.

LOUISVILLE (NC)-A nation­ wide television audience thrilled recently as Bobby Nichols won the Professional Golfers Asso­ ciation 'championship--but n0­ where were the thrills bigger and better than in a Louisville convent.

The youngest sister of the new PGA champ, Sister Mary Owen, is a junior at the Ursuline m()therhouse here, and she and her fellow nuns watched the tournament . televised fro m Columbus, Ohio.

in the season's longest trip to the badlands, are destined

to become a factor in the air-tight AL race thanks to the schedule maker. For when the Sox return home on Friday, August 14, they will open a feel, he has never recovered. three-game set with Chicago, The injury, of cour,se, healed but to be followed by a mid-week the nature and time were such series with Baltimore and for that Schilling has never regained

Incldentally, the abo v e listed appearances of the ranking AL contenders will be the last of the season for them at Fenway Park. Since the expansion of the league to 10 me m be r s , each team now makes three visits to Boston instead of the previous four, or even five on oceasion.

At any rate, if in the next couple of weeks the pennant picture remains relatively the same, manager John Pesky is confronted with a hectic week and a half and Boston fans may have a first hand glimpse at the :l'esolution of a red hot pennant race.

Hopefully, young Tony Conigliaro whose presenee has meant so much to the Sox will be back in the lineup after suffering a hairline fracture of the forearm in the Cleveland series.

Brings 'New Life

Jesuit Missionary Uses Credit Union To Establish Democracy, Education SAN FRANCISCO (NC) ­ Father Marion Ganey, S.J., is a Jesuit missionary' who may never be able to answer the question: How many converts have you made?

But in' underdeveloped areas he has brought people a way of life that means- demOCracy, eco­ nomic stability and education and which will grow for gener­ ations. His instrument is the credit union.

In Fiji, where Father Ganey is advisor to the Credit Union League, credit unions have freed people from the ecQnQmic bondage of usurers; provided savings with which to educate their children, and money to buy the things to go up the economic ladder-ploughs and bullocks to replace forked sticks for farm­ ing, nets and boats for turtle fishing, sewing machines and lamps. $150 Annual Income "These people are not looking for gadgets. But if they are peo­ ple who have had to live on the floor, they want to rise up off the floor," he said.

Need Foster Homes For Negro Children PITTSBURGH (NC) - Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh has appealed to white families to adopt or provide foster homes for Negro or other non-Cauca­ sian infants. " He said that the need for fos­ ter homes or adopting parents for these children "is acute to the point of desperation."

Bishop Wright said the open­ ing of homes of white persons to colored children "would be a wonderful way to demonstrate practical recognition of the unity of the human family and loving acceptance of the truth that 'all God's children have winiS.' "

Refugees From Red China Find Assistance in Friendly Macao MACAO (NC) -This bit of Portugal on the coast of China has a hea.rt-and an open door for the refugees from Red China who can make their way to its shores. And they do, fewer than in months gone by because of the tighter control by the com­ munist border guards. But each day finds some who have come, by sampan, by swimming, even by land, to Macao's friendly shores, about 40 miles from Hong Kong.

At the end of June this year, 540 had escaped from Red China and come to Macao; but in all of 1963 there were 1,998; in 1962, a total of 6,255, which shows how tight the border has be­ come.

What happens when they ar­ rive in Macao is a bright story of charity in action, largely from Americans, and much of it through the assistance of Cath­ olic Relief Services-National Catholic Welfare Conference.

As soon as refugees arrive in Macao, they are registered by

the police, and then taken to Casa Ricci, conducted by the Jesuit Fathers, with the assist­ ance of CRS-NCWC. Father Luis Ruiz, S.J., well known as th·e chaplain of refugees, is in charge of helping them. He feeds them, clothes them, gives them medicine. They are taken care o:f fOr 10 days-but then they al'l~ on their own.

Church Involved Not completely, of course.

Father Ruiz and CRS-NCWC, through Father Lancelot Rod·· rigues, its representative in.

Macao, try to find jobs for .them.

There is much construction and many find jobs there.

Father Ruiz also helps the refugees go into business for themselves. His report shows items like capital to start a fruit peddling business, the cost of a license to peddle cigarettes, etc.

And here, as elsewhere in this part of the Far East, the Church is deeply involved in educating the refugees, in feeding them, in housing them,

Missioner Asks Educated Chinese Return Home to Aid Nation WASHINGTON (NC) - It's roundup tim.e for Father Edward '1'. Murphy, S.J., veteran Far East missioner. .

Back in the United States after 27 years in the mission fields of China and F.ormosa, Father Murphy is seeking out Chinese college graduates who came to this country in recent years to .pursue advanced and technical studies. . "It's my job to try and con­ vince them they would be better off if they would return to work among their own people after _ they complete their studies," Father'Murphy said.

"We estimate there are about , 8,500 Chinese college graduates , in this country. If they stayed On here after completing their studies, they would be swal­ lowed up in the highly educated and specialized American way ef life.

"But back in Formosa and in China itself, they would be the leaders among their people.

Their country and their coun­ trymen need them in the shap­ ing of the China of tomorrow.

That's my job now-to convince them to come home," Father Murphy said.

Father Murphy said the 8,500 Chinese students are located in universities and colleges in all sections of the U S. He esti­ mated that only about 7 per cent of them are Catholics, but that all of them are needed by their countrymen.

Father Murphy is a native at San Francisco. During his stay in this country, he's making his headquarters at the University of San Francisco. He shipped out for China 27 years ago and ex­ perienced the adversities of a Japanese concentration eamp during World War II.
