pope was born, Italy had been a unified nation for only 22 years and was still suffering the birth pangs of its sovereignty. Since a vast area of central Italy had been until 1875 part of the Papal States, the new relationship be tween Church and State was a very strained one. Popes consid ered themselves' 'prisoners of the Vatican" and the tide of anti-clericalism was still on the rise. The tragedy of the age was that the Church in Italy once stripped of the Papal States, re mained coldly aloof from It.alian political life. This attitude only widened the gap and contriputed .

"Racial prejudice is sometimel directed toward the SpanisJa speaking, but more often toward the Negro," he wrote. "In either case, it calls for serious exam ination of conscience in mattera of interracial justice, as care fully as we would examine our conscience in any other area of our moral life." The Kansas prelate asked the faithful to join him in prayer "that the Catholic people of our diocese will not be guilty racial prejudice in any form."
St. Paul to Cori)1thians 11,-11 :28 Beloved in Christ, ·Sunday next, August 4th, brings us all our first op portunity to pay tribute in prayer and Peter's Pence to Pope Paul VI. We owe him something of both. He has been , chosen to rule the Church, as shepherd, father and .friend. He has our loyalty. He will surely win and hold our affection, as Pope John did. But he still has a heavy re sponsibility. The great St. Paul wrote of his sufferings to the Corinthians, over nineteen hundred years ago. He men tioned perils and scoargings and tribulations. And then he added: "Over and above all this is my daily burden, the solicitude for all the Churches." Such is a concise description of what Pope Paul has inherited. As Vicar of Christ he has five hundred million faithful to be concerned with. He cannot but feel anxiety for those behind the iron or bamboo curtains. He has to 'care for multitudes that are hungry and oppressed. As a good shepherd he has to seek and find those who have drifted away. He has to work and pray that there 'be "One fold and 'one shepherd." No want of man can be alien to him. Such anxieties could be overwhelming but for the assurance of Christ He will sustain His Church, "all days, even to the consummation of the world." Humanly speaking, however, Pope Paul needs our sympathy, affectiop and support. This we give in a specially significant way in the form of Peter's Pence. In the Diocese of Fall River this has always been an important collection. The faithful have a tradition of generous giving in token of their love and loyalty to a spiritual father. I am con fident that our best custom will be maintained. Whatever the measure of giving, it will be a source of considerable happiness and pride for me to make the offering, personally, sometime before we convene again in Council, next September, in Rome. Asking your prayer for God's blessing on the deli berations that are ahead, in the hope that what Pope John XXIII began so confidently may be brought happily to complete success under Pope Paul·VI, and with a cordial plessing for all the fai~hful in the Diocese, I remain, Cordially yours in Christ

The same "little man," the late Pope John XXIII, "destroyed any remaining suspicion of ecu menism" within the Catholic Church, he said. Father Weigel, professor at Woodstock, College, stated that before Pope John, the ~cumeni cal movement, which originlited with Protestant groups, had reached the point where repre sentative groups of separate Christian bodies were meeting , and speaking with one another in a friendly manner, "but it was always our bunch - and your bunch." Their inability to overcome the "our bunch-your' bunch" outlook, Father Weigel said, had led them into a blind alley. "Then comes the little man who feels that Christianity is in crisis because Christian witness' is getting weaker," he said. Pope John insisted th{lt all Christi/ins must give witness to all men, Fat her Weigel, said, thUs breaking down the barriers ot separateness..

Charity Requires Social Action SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Arch bishop Robert E. Lucey of San Antonio said here that true Christian charity demands action to relieve social His. The prelate, speaking at the dedication of a new retreat house, said "the good-retreatant knows that only by practicing tbe charity of Christ .and His justice can we be the friends of God." He described Catholic acti&n as both spiritual .and social and said: "It is so easy to stay at home and rest even when our tired and wretched world is fall'ng to pieces all about us It is so com fortable to lead our lives alone in 'selfish isolation without car ing for the needs of the bl'eth ren, the struggles and suffering /' in our community. "It is so satisfying to associate only with nice people, to avoid rubbing shoulders with members of minority races whom we de spise as being inferior to us. It is so refreshing to delude our selves with the thought that re ceiving the sacraments and hear ing Mass is all that our Faith de. mands of us."

Father Bernard Lambert, O.P., Rid Catholics "are no longer neutral" on the subject of the World Council. "We have passed the attitude of. 'wait and see.'

Still Waitint;
Productive Breathing Space The breathing space between the first sessions of the 'Ecumenical Council and those that are to begin next month has been productive. It has given Catholics and non-Cath olics the opportunity to see what has been accomplished and which way the road seems to be leading. It has evidenced to the world that the legacy of Pope John has been accepted and made itself felt. ' For centuries sincere non-Catholics were utterly con vinced that the Catholic Church was a "monolithic struc ture," a block of people so ordered that they were told what to think and do in every aspect of life. When the average Catholic protested that h~ held opinions and views different from those of his fellow Oatholic, he was assured that the message may not have filtered down to him but that his superiors had their orders what to think and do. The spectacle of the Bishops of the Church meeting together and differing with one another, sometimes very decidedly, has forever destroyed this "solid block" idea of the Church. And a further impression that the Council Fathers and Pope John gave to the world was the lesson of charity. No matter how they disagreed with one another, the Council Fathers, reflecting the spirit of Pope John, expressed themselves with gentleness and charity. The 'nE:wspapers, both secular and even Catholic, oversimplified m.any issues' by dividing the Bishops into "parties" or camps and tried to work up a picture .of violent animosities and un-Chris tian hostility among them. This legacy of charity the whole world is appreciating
more and more. Men are seeing that no matter how they disagree they must keep the spirit of Christian charity alive. They realize that it is' easy to label a person with whom one disagrees, but, as the late Paulisf Father Gillis observed, labels are frequently libels and usually serve only to set up a straw man that does not honestly reflect the opponent's stand. Pope John taught all men the lesson of charity, of kindness, of disagreeing with others but doing it honestly., with courtesy, with charity, without misinterpretation, without "labelling." This breathing spell before the Council convenes again is showing that the world has been impressed by the Council and has been touched by the great spirit of Pope John. It remains for Catholics especially to show all men of good will what they above all have learned from the Council and from the life and death of Pope John: Catho lics will differ among themselves, they will take exception to the opinions of their fellows,' they will be disturbed at stands taken by other Catholics on many issues. But in free areas, where the Church has not spoken, these dif ferences of opinion are valid, serve to show the freedom within the Church, and must be dealt with always in the spirit of the charity of Christ.
The Pact The opinion that seems to be shaping up in this country concerning .the partial test ban now under dis cussion is that it will probably do little harm and might do some good. Not .the most satisfactory situation in the world but better than nothing. Everyone knows, or should know, that Russia wiJI keep the pact only as long as it is in her own interest to do so, and she will try to get the maximum of propaganda value from it. It is interesting to speculate on what has led Khrush chev to agree to a pact. Is it the desire on his part to show the Red Chinese that his method of coexistence can work? Is it that he wants to calm down one of the issues in the' Cold War so as to devote his energies to others? 1ft this supposed to be a period of calm before the st.orm picks up again, a calm that aims at lulling suspicions and dulling scepticism? Is it that he has a real fear at what constant testing might do to m.ankind? Americans would do well to keep a genuine and alert scepticism regarding Russian motives. They must always keep in mind the Red conviction that Communism is the wave of the future and the role of the Communist is to hasten that event by any and all means. The Red objective always remains the same even though the tactics may vary and change and shift. In the meantime, the pact, for what it says and aims to acc~mplish, is worthwhile.

It would be his duty to watch over his fellow bishops, encourage and sustain the m ; hold them in line if this need be.The Ecumen ical Council is not a particular bishop arranging things for h. diocese where he is supreme. Here, he acts as a member of a college and he must take Int. consideration the interests of the Church when he decides and votes. In such action, it is the Pope who is supreme by Christ'. choice. The convoking of a coun cil is outside the competency 01. any cleric-no matter of what degree--and that of any laymaa -no matter what position he may hold. It belongs only to hila to whom Christ gave the power to act universally - the chief . apostle, the Pope. The council is little more tho a group discussion with no au thoritative decisions unless the Pope Himself in some way call. the council together, presidell over it, and later confirms or ap proves its decisions. Otherwise, we would have the situation 01 a group of brothers deciding something to the exclusion 01 the elder or the one who wa. given the power and duty • watch over the family during the absence of the parents. Now a Pope, being Christ.. own vicar (curate) and the bi, brother in charge; takes order. from no one except Christ, hie pastor. No matter what a Pope before Him might have thought, the· actual Pope is independent and answerable only to Christ. Of course, he cannot change anything that Christ Himself had taught and decided as migbt have been reflected or taught ~ his predecessors. In this re.gard, Church law states that an Ecumenical Coun cil is automatically suspended upon the death of a Pope. Th~ does not mean that as soon all the next Pope is elected that the bishops can get back to work ia conciliar debate. In fact, it meaD8 that the ne~ Pope has no obliga. tion according to law to continue the Council. However, this year as on IIe peated occasions in the Churc~ long history, Popes have their individual characteristics b ~ they are also very much alike in accepting the awfUl responsi bility that was theirs. It is the opinion of the majority of the world's bishops that the Catho lie world is in dreadful need elf a· council.

those pounds, as we tasted and tested recipes, our own and other contributors', in the com pilation of a forthcoming cook book. Now that the cookbook has gone to the printers, out of light with all its tempting goodies, and until such time aa proofreading will be the order of the day, we shall try to rid ourselves of the pleasures of the flesh - and of the flesh itself! It takes every bit of will power we possess and a great deal of won't power, plus all the props we can invent or re member having been used by other dieters at our house. There is, for instance, the sign to put on the refrigerator: "Is this trip necessary?", the humi liating weight chart, conscien tiously kept up to date in plain light of family members, the lign on the cookie jar with ita limple admonition, ''Don't!''

It is a·t dinner, though, that the big temptation presents it self to one who hall been half hungry all day.

Missionary Nuns in New Guinea Find Music Aid to Apostolate
PORTSMOUTH (NC) - Sister M. Madeleva, a former college president, said here she favors the elimination of primary and secondary parochial schools if this would make Catholic col. leges the best in the country. The former president of St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Ind., said that a basic goal of Catholic education is to Chris tianize and humanize the world, and this end is best achieved by 'high quality college education. Sister Madeleva spoke at a seminar on Christian humanism sponsored by the Spiritual Life Institute of America at Elm hurst Academy here in Rhode Island. Father William McNamara, O.C.D., founder and spiritual director of the institute, said that college curricula should offer . more than lectures, readings and discussions. They should offer ulence and solitude, and an op portunity for students to develop their "super-rational, intuitive powers of learning and know. ing."

Urges, Catholics To Help Reform Temporal Order OAKDALE (NC)-Cath olic laymen today have an obligation to shed the cloak of parochialism and "to bear witness to the sacred in the world," an editor told a con ference of educators here. James O'Gara, managing edi tor of Commonweal magazine, said it is essential for Catholics to become engaged in activities and movements that are not ipso facto Catholic. He spoke at 'the 24th annual conference of the Christian Brothers Education Association, held at La Salle Military Academy here in New York. , O'Gara said the Catholic lay man should "talk, explain (and) even argue," but stressed, that "what, we most need are wit nesses, Christians whose lives are public testimony to' their concern - Christians who are engaged, involved." - "In my view," he added, "this is the task to which the Chris tian citizen is called. It is pre cisely here that we need more emphasis." O'Gara criticized Catholics who respond only to campaigns of specifically Catholic interest, such as Federal aid to parochial schools. He said that Catholics are much less likely to join movements for interracial jus tice or for aid to underdeveloped nations.

Clergymen Fight Realtors' Panic Selling Efforts
Sisters of Mercy Receive Degrees At Salve Regina
WASHINGTON (NC) Twenty-four clergymen ap pealed here for homeowners to resist pressure tactics by real estate dealers who try to cause "panic" selling of homes because of racial integration. In a joint statement to resi dents of northwest Washington, the clergymen said, "as your neighbors we urge you to hold onto your property." Signers included Msgr. John J. Coady, pastor of the Church of the Nativity. Others were heads of area Protestant and Orthodox churches and Jewish synagogues. The clergymen were critical of pressures they said were be ing exerted by real estate com panies on their, neighborhood as Negroes moved in. They said. real estate firms have sent.8 barrage of post cards and letters and folwwed these up with tele_ phone calls and personal visits to whites offering quick cash purchases for houses. "They imply," .said the cler gymen, "that the neighborhood is depreciating because some Negroes have purchased homes in' it and that if you don't sell in a hurry, you'll lose your in. vestment. Flood Market "This is not true. The people who keep their homes are the' ones who are less likely to lQse . money. When a number of homes' are offered for sale in the neigh. borhood, the price goes down because the market is flooded:' Also, a cash sale frequently nets' less to the seller than a financed sale." The clergy's statement is spon sored by Neighbors, Inc., a bi racial, nonsectarian citizens' group fighting to maintain a stable, integrated area in north west Washington.

President Urges Congress to End Quota System
The Brothers of Christian Instruction at Monsignot Prevost High School, Fa)) River, have been educating young Franco-Americans in the Diocese of Fa)) River for more than a quarter of a century. Their history, however, dates ~uch further back. Founded Uan life by a systematic program. m 1817 at Ploermel, France, of spiritual exercises. the order, with more than During the past year the 2 300 professed Brothers, sodlllity took it upon themselves n~w staff schools in 15 countries to write to st~re~ asking .them
throughout the world. Two of Prevost's students, both of whom will be seniors next year are Gaston Plante and Michael Jusseaume. These two products of the Brothers' teaching are staunch supporters of the order's program. S eventh G rade "Boys should be taught by Gaston B roth ers," s a y s , better known among his classmates as G because men are better ab~~ to discipline them. They know how boys operate and knowing it they are better able to encoura e in some directions an d r e pgin r eothers" ss. "Prevost Is a great school,· adds Mike, who has been a student here since seventh grade. "The .Brothers have taught us true values not only in the field of religion' but in all phases of living." French Difficult Gaston son of Mr. and Mrs. Gaston Plante, is a member of St. Christopher's parish in Tiverton. The family lives at 173 Highland Road in Tiverton and Gus is an active member of the parish CYO program. He likes French even though he finds it difficult. "We speak French often at home," explains Gus, "but it'. easy to slip into English for further explanation or emphasis. In French class this is not permitted. Everything must be said, explained, and emphasized in the French language. It's fun but sometimes a little frustrating,· Religion A Favorite Mike, too, likes French, which is compulsory for all students at Prevost. Mike is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Andre Jusseaume of
641 Eastern Avenue, Fall River. The family belong to Notre Dame parish. Both Mike and Gus have other favorite subjects too, Mike looks forward to religion classes and Gus finds algebra challenging.
"Religion classes help me understand a little more about the reasons for our, faith," say. Mike, "and with a firm founda tion it is easier to refute those who criticize and ridicule or who just don't understand why we believe as we 00." Science is a favorite with both boys and they are memben of the biology club at Prevost. Research Papers Gus did a research paper for the club on orthodontics. "Re
search papers are good for char
acter development," says Gus.
"They make you dig more deep
ly, giving you a greater aware ness of your subject." Mike's research paper was on'
oral cancer. Evidently both boys benefited by the assignment, for Mike noted, "/\ person learns more by doing research on his own. It is a good preparation for college." Mike, who will major in biol ogy, represented Prevost during the past year in state wide com petition at a science fair held at the Massachusetts Institute 01.. Technology. Science Fair The biology club to which the boys belong also organizes visits to places of scientific interest. The serious work of club mem bers during the past year re sulted in the students winning many awards at the 1963 Dioc esan science fair," Objectionable Literature Mike and Gus are also mem bers of Our Lady's sodality at Prevost, Gus serving as treasu rer. Members meet every Sun day morning and use the cell technique for improving them selves and for bringing the spirit of Christ into their surround ings. The sodality prepares stu dents to live· a thoroughl1 Cbria-.
WASHINGTON (NC) President Ken ned y hal called on Congress to enact sweeping changes in U.S. immigration laws, inc Iud i n g abolition of the controversial na tional origins quota system. The President, in identical messages to the Senate and House, said the national origins system is "without basis in either logic or reason" and urged that it be phased out over a five year period. During the interim, unused quota numbers, ~ould go into a reserve pool for redistribution to countries with a backlog of persons seeking admission to the U.S. Redistribution is not permitted at present and, ac cording to Mr. Kennedy, this re sults in a "waste" of some 60. 000 quota numbers yearly. Determining Factors ' Under the administration pro gram, nationality would no longer be the determining fac tor in immigration after five years. Instead, prospective im migrants would be given pre ference on the basis of 1) their skills and. the relationship of these skills and the relationship of these skills to U.S. needs; 2) family relationship to persons already here; and 3) priority of registration. Under present law,' 156,700 "quota immigrants" are per mitted to enter the U.S. eacb year. QuotllS ar~ allotted to countries on the basis of the national origins of the U.S. population in 1920. Critics of this system charge that, as a result, overly large quotas go to northern European countries w h i I e insufficient quotas are assigned to countrie. in such areas as southern and eastern Europe.

Honor Society Gus and Mike are proud of the fact that they are members of Eugenio Pacelli chapter of the National Honor Society, made up of students who have been chosen by their teachers for ex ceptional school w~rk and fine chllracter. The honor society at Prevost is responsible, too, for the smooth running of the intra mural program. Reading is a great interest with both Mike and Gus. Adven ture stories are favorites at the moment. Stories like 'Kon Tiki,' 'Mutiny on the Bounty,' 'To Kilt a Mockingbird,' and 'Fate is, the Hunter' help us relax and go on to our studies with rested minds," says Mike. "Besides," says Gus, practical 1y "they help us to fulfill our bo'ok report assignments for English." College BoUnd
Both boys plan to go on to col

dentists. Gus plans to take a pre
dental course at St. Anselm's
college in New Hampshire. Mike
will attend Holy 'Cross or Provi
dence College.
The boys are active in the
sports program at Prevost. Gus,
who will be basketball captain next year, likes swimming and water skiing. Mike plaYs bas ketball but likes baseball ~tter. He plays shortst9P and catch for ~ Notre Dame CYO but restricts
himself to plllying short6~p for
Prevost.
These two boys fell that Pre- .
vost has given them something of immeasurable value-a Cath- . olic education. "A Catholic education 18 essen &1 in today's world," says Mike, "because religion isn't just 8ft, extra. It is tied in with every part of life." "It gives you a yardstick flo measure values," adds Gus.
Alumni Assoeiation
The school looks with pride upon its Alumni Association. The unflinching loyalty which this group displays indicates in a tangible way the appreciation of former "students for what the school has tried to instill in them. And it is boy's like' Gus and Mike who become the Prevost alUmni. Realizing w~at the school has done for them the alumni association endeavors to show appreciation. by making available both high school and college scholarships, by aSsisting the -sports department financially and providing needed audio visual aids. There are organizations ~ Prevost which help the student reach fulfillment other than those to which Gus and Mike belong. The debating society en_ ables participants to acquire or . develop ability in public speak ing. Abundant research coupled with an interest in keeping up with current comments on the debate topic furnish opportuni ties for a bot to read critically, think clearly and discuss intelli

Denies Church Forms Policy In Vietnam
u.
S. Hierarchy Lauds Coverage Of News Events
NEW YORK (NC) - A veteran priest-journalist has challenged statements by a U.S. minister linking the Catholic Church to alleged anti Buddhists acts of the South Viet namese government of President N go Dinh Diem. Fr. Patrick O'Connor, 8.8.<::., Far East correspondent of the N.C.W.C.News Service and a former president of the Catholic' Press Association, said that "to imply that the Catholic Church is responsible for government policy in Vietnam would be sheer misrepresentation." He also said that, whatever the faults of the Diem government, "life in South Vietnam is im measurably freer, easier and better than in communist-ruled North Vietnam." Father O'Connor in a le"tter to the New York. Times deniell sev· eral statements about the situa tion in South Vietnam attributed by the Times to the Rev. Donald S. Harrington. Challenges statements The Times, in a July 1 news story on a sermon preached by the Rev. Harrington at the Community Church here, re ported him as saying that the Catholic Church and the U. S. government must share respon sibility with President Diem for the death of a Buddhist monk who publicly burned himself to death in Saigon as a protest against the Diem government's policy toward Buddhism. In his letter to the Times, written from Saigon, Father O'Connor challenged a number of statements contained in the news story on the Rev. Harring ton's sermon. These include: The statement that most gov ernment officials and army offi. cers in South Vietnam are Cath olics. Father O'Connor said he knows of no overall religious census of government officials and army officers. However, among the upper echelons, he said, five of 17 cab inet ministers are Catholics, along with three of 19 generals, and four of 14 officers com manding special branches. Information Inaccurate The statement that the only two universities in South Viet nam are Catholic-controlled. Father O'Connor said Vietnam has three universities, two of which are state institutions con trolled by the Minister of Educa_ tion, who is a non-Christian. "I am no blind partisan of President Ngo Dinh Diem or his government," Father O'Connor said. "I disapprove strongly of !Orne of the police methods used here, while realizing that life in South Vietnam is immeasurably freer, easier and better than in communist-ruled North Viet nam. "The government here is open to criticism, but if the critic's information be inaccurate or out of focus, he cannot criticize soundily or constructively."

Court Action Forced Issue Of Religious Schools Aid By Most Rev. Robert J. Dwyer, D. D.
Bishop of Reno
"Congress shall make no law respecting an ef'ltabHf.\h ment 9f religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..." It is a good law, framed by lawmakers wise beyond their immediate vision and prudent beyond their own limited experience. And the Con be looked upon as interfer gress, whatever its vagaries can ing with freedom of conscience, and transgressions in other as placing a limitation upon it, departments, has faithfully even as destroying it. observed its spirit since its en actment in 1791. For a free and pluralistic soci ety, indeed, for . any free society in this imper fect world, it answers b est the problem of the democratic conscience. Now tbe clear prohi bition of a reli. gious establish ment means just t hat, nothing more, nothing leSi, Most eM phatically it does not mean its opposite, the establishment of non-religion, or of secularism, 01" of a kind of state atheism. It is .at this point, precisely, that the action of the Supreme Court of the United States, in banning the recitation of any form of prayer and the reading of the Sacred Scriptures from the state-supported schools, has effectively made a law respect ing the establishment of secular Ism as the official creed (or non. creed) of the American people. For or Against The crux of the question is found in this: Is it humany pos lible for education to be neutral in regard to religion? An affirm ative answer will only be given by those for whom religion is of 80 little consequence as to rank among life's minor amenities or ann()yances, depending on the point of view. Education is preparation for life, or in a broader sense is life itself. The omission of' religion from education is the omission of that which in the consensus of the human famU" i, esse'ntial to life and to its meaning. Actually, there can be no gen uine neutrality' respecting reli gion on the part of any educa tional system, any more than on the part of any individual teach er. We line up, all of us, either for it or against it. Neutralist Harmony Up to the present some sort of ease might be made out to the effect that the state schools, if not actively religious, were a·t least friendly toward religion, as one might be friendly to a maiden aunt of uncertain dispo sition. But the purview of the reCent Court decisions, the intent prompting .them, is to exclude any and all religious influence, any and all religious reference from these schools. Religious influence, in the. mind of the Court, smacks of religious establishment; religious reference, even of the mildest and least offensive sort, is apt to intrude a note of discord into the happy neutralist harmony. It is quite true that at the moment the nation and its schools have not fully .caught up with this conclusion or e~amined realistically the ugly question {)f its implementation. After all, it takes seven-league boots to keep abreast of the Court. Bwt the loal, unmistakably, is in sight. Freedom of ConaeleDce The legal establishment Gf secularism, however, places the conscience of the nation, wbich is still radically Christian, in ltn exceedingly uncomfortablepos ture. The First Amendment, a10n, with. prohibiting the establish ment of religion (and by impli cation of non-religion as well), also guarantees freedom of con science. But if state schools are dedi cated to the esta'blishment en. secularism, and ar0 made power ful instruments for the prop8~a tion of that doctrine, then ·they
Flaunt Ant.,!gonism The youth who is exposed to a thoroughgoing secularism in school is pretty well bound to emerge from the ordeal a thor oughgoing secularist. It is no answer to the problem to say, as many Protestants have been saying for years, that the home should take care of the re ligious influence and provide the countervailing references. Home and school can only work to gether in terms of mutual agree men and understanding, not of antagonism. Here is antagonism flaunted. It would be extr!!mely hard iI not utterly impossible for the emerging intelligence to inter pret absolute silence in regard to religion as meaning anything less than absolute contempt. Equally, it is a hopeless ex periment from the outset to teach secularism five days a week and expect that an antidote might be ingeniously supplied on the remaining two. "The time is out of joint." The dice are loaded. Crisis of Conscience At this juncture, we' insist, the nation has reached beforehand its major crisis of conscience. It must now choose between the complete establishment of secu larism or of state-atheism in its schools, or so revamp the entire system as to safeguard the free dom of conscience of its people. The boil has been festering for a long time; there is nothing for it now but to lance it, how ever painful the puncture and however- costly the excision. At that, it will hardly be as costly as an atom-bomb test or two, hardly as painful as the cur rent socio-racial adjustments we are sweating out. Fact Is Important We mean, quite simply, that the time is overripe for us to get down to brass tacks in our talk. ing and planning about full Fed eral and state support for reli gious and confessional schools, on par with the sel:ular schools for the secularists. By direct action the 'Court has forced the issue, has precipitated the crisis. Ten years ago we were discussing this problem in terms of arriving at a solution in a century or so; today we must discuss it as a decision immedi ately thrust upon us. Whether the Cou.rt acted in this by design or in a fit of ab sent-mindedness, somewhat in the mood in which Great Britain acquired and then lost an em pire, is perhaps not very impor tant. What is important is the fact. In quite another sense fr()ll\ that in which the phrase has been used (and abused) of late, and with apologies rather to the Walrus than to Dr. Rock: The time has come!

The Gospel for the third Sund~y of Pentecost taken from St. Luke - Book 15 Verses 1 to 10 reads in part, "What man of you having a hundred sheep, and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which is lost, until he finds 'it?" A few verses down the same Gospel reads, "Or what woman, having 10 drachmas, if she loses new convert to liturgical func to make the infected area healthy one drachma, does not light a tions after he or she has ar again, so too, should the fallen lamp and sweep the house, ranged for his enrollment in an away, the lax and the indifferent and search carefully until inquiry class and followed this be safeguarded from the isola she finds it?"

It is not hard to imagine us as shepherds, because as members of the Mystical Body are we not interested in the souls of those around us who are not so fortu nate as we either through ignor anee of divine things, through lack of knowledge of the truths? or through plain indifference? In our ways of life, different as they may be, we are aware of the fact that if we were dealing in drachmas and one rolled to the floor, would we not bend, seek and search? Why should· we feel any differently toward-s the soul-s of our fellow men?

In his later life he was to be come a frequent contributor to religious pUblications. His early education was in the Jesuit-directed Arici Institute in Brescia. But when he entered high school his health was so poor that his parents feared to keep him there.. As a result, most of his education was ac quired privately. One teacher remembers him as the best pupil he ever had, while some classmates detected in him the qualities of a born leader. "Never have I met any one who had to say so little to establish his authority," a class mate recalls. In the clean, brisk air of the Alps, the carefree years of youth slipped away for Giovanni Bat tista. His older brother began the study of law, his younger brother prepared for a careex in medicine. The future pope had yet to make his decision. (Next week: a Vocation to tM Priesthood).

cording to, the Vatican City daily, L'Osservatore Romano. The newspaper expressed this judgment in commenting on two magazine articles and a speech made by high Polish Red func. tionary at a party meeting in which old-line party members were warned that they face pen alties if they continue to go to church, and it was said that new party members would be weaned away from their religious prin ciples ''tactfully.'' L'Osservatore said that "as far as we ourselves are 'concerned we can only underline once more that theSe articles demonstrate , that communism does not change in its attitudes toward religion and the Church. "The Polish experiment 18 nothing more than a prolonged , attempt to 'liquidate' the 'reli gious prejudice.' And to bring this about there is an attempt to promote the conaivance of the Catholics themseives." The editorial was described by L'Osservatore as "authoritative," which usually means that it was written by someone in the Vati can Secretariat of State. The speech referred to was by 'Roman Nowak, of the Control Commission of the Polish Com munist' party. The two articles appeared in the review Polish Perspectives. Always Materialistic In one .article author Tadeusz Pluzanski wrote that the "rap prochement of Christianity and the workers' movement cannot consist, \ as some think, in a Christianiization of socialism be cause socialism has always been and always will be materialistic." He concluded that "a realistic rapprochement, or integration of Christianity, can be' effected only when Christianity has rec. ognized that the force of the avant garde is communism and, thinking no longer of Christian izing it, will devote its efforts and possibilities toward the ad vancement of socialism."

While the parish is moving speedily ahead with plans for a new edifice, it adopted the tent plan as the best to accomodate a greatly increased Summer demand. The interior of the church-tent has individual seats. 'I'he cross stands solemnly outside the tent to designate its purpose. The destroyed edifice was erected in 1928.
Archbishop Says Reds Are Weak In Puerto Rico
Urge Congress Act Now on Civil Rights Spokesmen for Major Faiths· Join in Appeal
TUSCAN (NC)-Commu nism has made scant head way in Puerto Rico, Arch bishop John P. Davis of San Juan, P.R., said here in Arizona. Archbishop Davis, formerly a priest of the Tucson diocese~ said there is no Communist party in Puerto Rico and there is very Uttle sympathy for Cuban dic tator Fidel Castro. Puerto Rico has provided refuge for some 20,000 Cuban exiles, he noted in an interview, and the few Castro sympathizers carrying on an active propaganda cam paign met with little success. The prelate is the 57th head of one of the two oldest dioceses in the WQstern Hemisphere. It was founded in 1511, less than two decades after Columbus' first landing, and was raised to an archdiocese in 1960. Gradual Increase Archbishop Davis expressed aatisfaction at the increase in vo cations among his people in re cent years. Like the rest of Latin America, Puerto Rico suffers from a severe shortage of priests. About 500 clergy serve almost two and a' quarter million people on the island - an average of about 4,000 souls for each priest. However, this year's total of 14 native priests ordained is the largest in Puerto Rico's history and climaxes a gradual increase over the past three decades. From 1933-43 only six p'riests were ordained in all of Puerto Rico. During the next decade, the total rose to 13, and in 1953 63 to 20.
Korean Catholics KAOHSIUNG (NC) - The number of Catholics in the Kaohsiung diocese has risen from 38,725 to 42,040 in the year ending June 30, 1963, an in erease of almost 10 per cent. There are also 8,998 persons takini instruction for Baptism.

WASHINGTON (NC)--'-spokes !nen for three major Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, and Jewish agencies backed the ad. ministration's civil rights pro gram in a joint statement to a House JUdiciarY subcommittee. They called for racial justice "now" and said that "what is right, both - in terms of basic morality and in terms of our democratic ideals, must be granted without delay." Their support extended to the administration's con t r 0 v e r sial proposal to bar discrimina tion in privately-owned accom. modations, such as hotels and restaurants. T·hey said the prop erty right is not an absolute right but must yield to higher considerations. . Remedy InjuStice The statement was submitted to a Judiciary subcommittee, which is weighing the ,adminis tration's request for civil rights legislation, by the social action and racial action departments of the National Council of Churches, the National Catholic ,Welfare Conference, and the Synagogue Council of America.. 'Without Delay' . It was presented by Dr. Eu gene Carson Blake, Stated Clerk (chief executive officer) of the United .Presbyterian Church; Father John F. Cronin, S.S., as sistant director of the NCWC Social Action Department; and Rabbi Irwin M. Blank of the· Synagogue Council. The· actual presentation was made by Dr. Blake. The religious leaders' state-· ment stressed the "urgency of legislative action now" to rem-. edy racial injustices, "We are in the midst of a so cial reVOlution," they said. "Please God it will remain a social revolution and not degen erate into civil chaos. But let us not underestimate the demand for justice regardless of color, race or national origin. "What is right, both in terma
of basic morality and in terms of our democratic ideals, must·
be granted without delay. The time is past for tokenism or 'de mands for endless patience. "We must move firmly, rapid,;" ly and courageously toward goals which our consciences assure us are right and necessary. We can do no less for God and country." The religious leaders revie~ed
