The Diocese of Fall River

Most Reverend James L. Connolly, Bishop of Fall River, promulgates today a collection (j)f diocesan laws-technically known as "Pro­ £ynodal Statutes"-affecting clergy and laity land all facets of church life. The purpose of ibis action, without precedent in the Fall River Diocese, is to update' diocesan statutes as a­ l!l:leans of implementing the decrees and direc­ tives of Vatican II and of providIng clear-guide­ lNnes for uniform pastoral practice in minister­ nog to the spiritual needs of the people of God in the Diocese The collection was long in preparation.

Bishop Connolly first publicly disclosed Lis intention to revise diocesan regulations at 11 meeting of the Diocesan Pastoral Council in,

the Spring of 1967. Consultation with the priests of the diocese, meetings of commissions composed of clergy, religious and laity, and finally a series of revisions have taken place throughout the intervening months prior to today's publication.Now invested with the legislative authority possessed by Bishop Connolly, these enactments assllme the force of diocesan particular law.

Traditionally diocesan laws of this kind are f0rt11ally enacted in a synod, a liturgical ceremony conducted in the cathedral church.

However, many and varied modifications of The mew and now effective pro­ syn'odal statutes are published in full oil Pages Nine, 10, 11 and 12 of this issue.

church order and discipline continue to be in­ troduced during the post-conciliar period and the Holy Father is presently conducting a thorough revision of universal Church law.

Consequently, a less formal method of pro­ '.mulgation of these diocesan laws was desirable; :they are; nonetheless~.authoritative and binding.

Following his graduation from New Bedford High School, he served four years in the Navy as a communications specialist and then entered Cardinal O'Connell Seminary, Jamaica Plain. He completed his philosophical and theological training in St. John's Seminary, Brighton.

many of the papal critics are saying: "If the Holy Father would only live in the real world and thus come to know its problems, and if he had followed the ad­ vice of his experts, he never would have issued his encyclical on birth control."

In the face of this criticism, Father Connolly said, "one can . only wonder if they have actu­ ally read the document."

The national coordinator trac­ ing the development of the Pope's thought in the encyclical noted that the document begins by listing the various reasons cited by the critics for a change in the Church's traditional ban on contraception, thus showing an understanding of the "real world" by his familiarity with the arguments for changing the Church's stand.

Father Connolly emphasized

to priests from other New England dioceses.

This authorizes the exercise of many priestly functions. It is expected that several neighbor­ ing diocesc~s will reciprocate by granting their faculties to Fall River priests.

Bro'ader disc.retion in scheduling the hours of wedding ceremonies and funeral services is allowed and couples planning marriage have the right to select the priest of their parish whom they wish to officiate.

Provision for the celebration of Mass fac­ ing the people becomes mandatory for parish churches.

While public annual celebration of a sol­ emn First Holy Communion day is to be re­ tained in, every parish, the role' of parents in preparing their children for 'receiving the Holy Eucharist is noted, and the new statutes permit greater flexibility in admitting youngsters to this Sacrament. In all instances where church law permits reception of Communion under Both Species, this may now be done without recourse to the Chancery Office.

When the priests of the Diocese participate in various ceremonies and services, the obligation of reciting the Divine Office is reduced to the hours of Lauds and Vespers only.

Reflecting, the "collegial" spirit of Vati­ can II, the statutes urge cooperation by laity in diocesan and parish affairs in many ways, notably thr~ugh service on .parish councils and local school boards.

that the Pope considered all the data available to him, conclud­ ing tha,t, in view of man and his destiny, his eternal life as well as his earthly one, man may not tamper with the marriage act.

The radio and TV director noted that the Pope says a cou-

Of Draft laws

,BIDDEFORD (NC)-A Fran­ mscan priest who passed out literature on alternatives to the draft in Portland along with six students from St. Francis Col­ lege here, said the "conscience of wday's, students is in conflict with the current draft laws of tilis country.'"

Father Matthew Audibert, O. F.M., 42, chaplain at St. Francis College, said he is "not afraid of controversy" and feels "we made our poin1."

The Franciscan handed out a GOO-word breakdown on Feder­ al laws regarding conscientious objection to a large group of j'Oung inductees a.nd enlistees about to take a pre-induction physical' at a Portland induction renter.

GRAND RAPIDS (NC) ­ Bishop Allen .J. Babcock of Grand Rapids has announced formation of' a human relations commission for the diocese, to be composed to a general com­ mission, an executive committee and ultimately individual com­ missions for each area to be served.

Bishop Babcock delegated Msgr. Hugh M. Beahan to work with Msgr. Joseph C. Walen, ed­ itor and general manager of the Western Michigan Catholic, di­ ocesan newspaper, to draft a commission structure and pro­ pose a membership.

BONN (NC)-Bishop Stephan Trochta, S.D.B., of Litomerice, Czechoslovakia, has been of­ ficially reinstated as head of that diocese, according to a re­ port by the Czechoslovak news service CTK received here.

The decision to permit the return of Bishop Trochta was taken at a session of the Cze­ choslovak cabinet, it was dis­ closed in the report.

Bishop Trochta, 63, was'placed under house arrest'in 1950, two years after the communists gained control of the Czechoslo­ vak government. He was forced from active direction of the Litomerice diocese in 1952.

In 1954, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison on charges of spying for the Vatican. Later that year he was reported crit­ ically ill in Pankrac prison in Prague after having been tor­ tured. In 1960 he was reported engaged in forced labor with a road gang.

LIMA (NC)-Nuns have been ignored in Church renewal ef­ forts, the Peruvian Conference of Religious Women charged here at the end of its yearly meeting.

"Perhaps this is due to the general idea that we are not ready to face pastoral problems because, first of all, we were never prepared for this. We were educated into a 'congrega­ tion spirit,' not .in a 'Church spirit.''' the nuns said.

At the meeting the conference established a committee to study ways of transferring several schools run by Religious congre­ gations of women to the govern­ ment and their artistic colonial treasures to national museums.

The conference will subsidize from its own funds the teams of Religious doing pastoral work in slum areas.

seek to Repeal Abortjon Laws

'Pro-Synodal 'Statutes To rule, to teach, to govern, is both the privilege and the duty of the Bishop, as the laws of the Church give him power to govern the Diocese both iIi spiritual ~nd temporal aHairs. It is his duty to see that the laws of' the Church are faithfully observed in the Diocese, es­ pecially regarding the ---administration of the Sacraments, the worship of God, preaching and instruction of his people in Christian Doctrine. It is to' the Bishop that the s'afe­ guarding of bith and morals among" the clergy and laity is especially entrusted.

The Bishop is the one and only legislator for his Dio­ cese. In making laws for his Diocese, the Bishop still re­ mains subject to the Holy Father and the general laws of the Church. However, the general laws of the Church give him power to regulate conditions and circumstances of his Diocese to necessit'ate measures over and abov~ the gen­ eral laws in order to produce good order throughout the Diocese.

The purpose of today's promulgation of Pro-Synodal Statutes is actually to renew the laws and regulations of the Diocese in the tone a;nd spirit of Vatican Council II, and in conformity with the present Iegislation of the Church for the pastor~l good of the. People of God and the salvation of their souls.

The code of Canon Law makes 'certain matters obli­ gatory. Although there will be evidence of repetition of some of these obligations, these sta'tutesare written, .not to change these general laws into particular laws, but , rather to encourage the clergy and laity to a more exact observance of these very same laws: Cardinal Cushing Opposes MClve Requiring The code has 2,2]4, different" regulations for the CoUege Degree for" futurle Nurs~s ' government of the Church.

CHICAGO (He) The .MI Hoc Committee to Organize • National Association for the Protection of the Unborn wiD hold a two-day conference o. abortion here in Illinois, start>­ ing Aug. 16. Methods of com-" batting proposed legislation and of repealing existing legislation relaxing abortion laws will be discussed by legislative authon. ties.

Dr.. John F. Hillabrand OJ Toledo, chairman of the Ad Hoe Committee, said: "No one can be happy aboai ,the current insensitivity to the : value of human life witnessed internationally in Vietnam and Nigeria, or in the riot killings .and the sharp rise in murders and suicides in this country. D is imperative that disregard fOJl' the dignity and value of human ' life does not infiltrate the hea.... ing arts.

"Lax abortion laws permitting a physician and' a pregnant woman to terminate the life odI! a patient in the womb," he con-" tinued, "is' a first major step in converting the physician. into an executioner.

"With the growing costo! medicare and the shortage of hospital facilities," he added,' tl'Je "step from fetal killing to adult killing is easily envisaged. To organize for the" protection of the life of the unborn is a first line of defense of a mediCal tra.­ dition, th'lt extends back 25 cen­ turies to Hippocrates, the fathe!' of medicine."

TIVOLI (NC)-To fulfill theA:' proper roles in today's world. "priests must become true revo­ "lutionaries and work for the overthrow of the status quo," Father Matthew Martin, C.P.. director of schools, St. Michael" Monastery, Union City, N.,J., said .here in New York. ' , Fath~r Martin was the Op~JIpa ing speaker at a three-day con-.. ference sponsored by the AmeJ"o ican PAX organization and held! at "the Catholic Worker Farm.

The conference' theme was" "Peace and Revolution: Can tho Two Imperatives be Joined?" " In contending that priests must be reVOlutionaries, Fatheli' 'Martiri cited the "witness" given

by Father James Eo Gropp! 'of Milwaukee in the cause of raci:llll justice and by Father Philip Berrigan, S.S.J., in the struggle against militarism.

Among those rebutting Father Martin was the noted psychi~ trist and author Dr. Karl Stern" who said there is great danger in de-emphasizing the sacral! role of the priest in society.

Man of Conscience

Another speaker, James' ~ Douglass of the religion depart­

ment of the University of Hawaii said that "the revolutionary is the man of conscience in .today's world." ""There is and can be no other man of conscience," Douglass said, "for the world as man has thus organized it, socially and! economically-as distinct from the created forms of life--is in­ tolerable. To tolerate the mor­ ally intolerable is gradually ~ lose life * * * "The revolutionary of the ntloo clear age, as the man most sensi­

He wa~ proud of the fact that his fruit was insect free, and noted that this was not true 15 years ago when he had trouble with worms.

As Is the case wi th many gar­ deners, his equipment is simple and his sprayer, although suffi­ cient for his needs, is a relic which one could not find on the market today.

We have seen many fruit trees

comparable to Mr. Silvia's t>ut we have come across very few 'people as happy with their hob­ bies as he. His wife was equally proud of his efforts and his grandchildren scurried about gatherIng plums for us to enjoy.

Jesuit Lawyers Join in Defense Of Protestors

c ._, ....•.._._-, ,-'

~ Jesuit lawyers joining the ease were Father Robert R. Dri­ nan, S.J., dean of the Boston College law school, and Father William C. Cunningham, S.J., of the Loyola University law school, Chdcago.

One 'of the defendants-Father Daniel Berrigan, S.J., chaplain at Cornell University - recently complained the Jesuit society "prefers silence to courageous speech." ' .

"Since Father Berrigan under­ took the action that led to .his own arrest on his own initiative MId in response to the dictates of his own conscience, I am sure th3lt Father Berrigan anticipated the consequences of his civil dis­ obedience, including the fact that the Society of Jesus would not post bail and that he would have to accept whatever penal­ ties he might incur under civil law" Father Somerville said.

Father Ber.rigan's brother­ Father Philip Berrigan, S.S..J. w~o is also among the defend­ ants-was relieved of his duties as assistant pastor at St.' Peter ClaveI' churoh in Baltimore by his Josephite superiors immedi­ atelyfoUowing the burning inci­ dent..

Two La Sc'llette jubiia-rians, Rev. El'ineric Dubois, M.S., and Rev. Wilfrid Boulanger, M.S., were honored this month at a concelebrated Mass and dinner at La Salette Shrine, Attleboro.' Both priests made profession as M·issiona·ries of Our Lady of La Salette in 1918, at the community's novitiate in' Bloomfield, Conn. Shortly after, they were sent to pursue their studies at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. In 1924, they were ordained to the priest­ hood. in Fribourg.

COLLEGEVILLE (NC)­ The possibility of corporate merger at St. John's Univer­ ~ity here of St. Benedict's College, St. Joseph, Minn., by 1971 has been announced by the chairmen of the institutions' boards of trustees. . Abbot Baldwin Dworschak, O.S.B., of St. John's and Mother Henrit.a Osendorfl O.S.B., an-' nounced plans to work toward full integration of the two schools' academic resources.

They have had an academic ex­ change program since 1963, and are linked by hourly shuttle bus service during academic terms.

The two boards met in July and approved a declaration fa­ voring possible merger within 30 months. A coordinator will be appointed to direct efforts of the two Benedictine schools in work­ ing out details of administrative and curricular integration.

Retain Traditions The move followed a nine­ month study, financed by a foundation grant from the Louis W. and Maud Hill Family of St. Paul, of the possibilities for closer· cooperation between the two schools.

This Fall, St. John's and St. Benedict's will have a combined enrollment of 2,150 undergrad­ uate students.

Father Colman Barry ,O.S.B..

S1. John's president, said "we expect to gain the advantages of co-education and expanded in­ structional capabilities, while re­ taining the individual character and traditions of both St. John'l) and S1. Benedict's campuses."

In one way,

R. G. Tugwell's The Bl"ainsTrust

(Viking,

qj25 Madison' Ave., New York, N.Y. 10022, $10) is e~tremely dated. I~t deals with events of 36 years ago, the first pres­ idential campaign and election of F-ranklin D. Roosevelt.

They beIong to a completely different epoch of our his­ tory. But in another way. the book is timely indeed, 00­ Iliause candidates for the. pres­ iqency still use too same, 'ineth­ ~, although illOt, the same -media, as Roo~' 'Clevelt did. In­ d~d, in ~any Jespects' it may ~. sa i d that Roos'evelt wrote the book w h i c h today's Gspirants f 0 1':' 10 w. Tugwell was a teacher of economics at Columbia Univer­ sity when, in early' 1932, ~y­ ;in~nd Moley, al~ady llfi', adv:is,er and speech writer for Roosevelt, b~ought .him ilbto the !lffiall cirele .r unofficial confidants. with whom tlhe then Gov.eroo.r of New York talked oVer the icy's problems.

Advocates Rewalatloli '

ooun­

Unemployment was mountinl. there was economic brelllk-down. industry was stagnant, farms were being foreclosed, want and Guffering were proliferating, and fear was rampant. The Demo­ crJrats' chances looked increasing­ ly good. . Tugwell had very definite ideas about what had gone wrong and what must be done in or­ der to set the economy right.

He believed that technology had transformed the situation, and that old attitudes and means which did not ·take cognizance of this crucial fact would produce ~nly more failure and misery.'

He advocated a measure 0( eolleotivization, not in the Com­ munist sense, but in the sense of coordination, central planning, tlnd some control by government.

Only regUlation, he held, would make for a balance of interests and 'a· ~listic 'distribution &f _" - purchasing power' which 'Would keep production going and ,guar­ antee jobs.

ED&TossID« PoriraFlJoI These ideas be presented to Roosevelt. He tells \Ill f.ttat he lrept repeating them. One caa . well credit it ,for he keeps re­ " peating them in the book until 'ene grows weary and irked.

His account of less than • "ear ·with Roosevelt COYers JIlel'f! than 500 pages, and it might Wisely have been cut by at least ene-third.

BISHOP TROCHTA

C%echReforms Affect Rei i910n VIENNA (NC)-The' spirit of reform pervading Czechoslova­ kia, which brought about the recent confrontation between Czechoslovak leaders and the leaders of the Soviet Union, has also affected religious life, in the country. , For mor~ ..than 20 y,ears pr:ior to i968, communists in Czecho:'. slovakia imposed severe restric­ tions on the practice of religion• Bishops and priests were impris­ oned, executed or exiled; many &f the faithful were imprisoned; Catholic schools were forced out of existence; rela·tions with- the Vatican were ended; ,no recogni­ tion was given to the Church in tl,e state constitution; attempts were made to convert the Church into an instrument of the Communi~ party.

However. since Alexander Dpbcek came to power in Janu­ ary' as first secretary of Czecho­ slovakia's Communist party, there have been significant im­ provements in Church-state re­ 11ltions in the country.

The new regime has allowed several bishops to return to their Sees 15 years or more after they were ousted by the Stalinists.

The first to be reinstated was Bishop Karel Skoup, 81, of Brno. barred from office in 1953 after refusing to take an oath re­ quired 'by the country's anti­ Church .laws of,1951.

Bishop Stephan Trochta, S.D.B., 63, of Litomerice, was officially reinstated in his See this month.

But again and again, 'Tugwell was disappointed. In speech'es prior and subsequent to his nom­ ination, Roosevelt might make brief and glancing reference to some aspect of. Tugwell's ideas; In May, for example, at Ogle­ thorPe Universi'tY,,:he used the words "planning" and "experi­ mentation." But this did not si.gnal forthright adoption &f Tugwell's propositions., The reason was simple. Roose­ velt wanted to be nominalJed and elected. He needed the sup­ port of conservative elements in his own party He needed .tt!e votes Of Republicans, still with a majority in registrations. And so he had to present himself as knowledgeable, a decisive afHi c~pable executive, and DO wild 1'adical.

Lacked Statesmaaship More than once he told· Tug­ well that it was the adviSer's role to come up with ideas, but the candidate's role ~ decide 'lvhat was acceptable. And what was acceptable, Tugwell laments, was generally what was ~lculated. to win votes. He does not hesita.te to say that in the 1932 campa~ga Roosevelt displayed a mastery of politics but a lack of statesman­ ship.

Yet Tugwell. perceived that Roosevelt did indeed intend to experiment, once be waS in power. He could not say this in the campaign ,but even before the election he was pondering steps which would' be anything promised two chickens in every but conventional and conserva­ pot; he did say something about tive. two ears in every garage. And This, one supposes, Ia the per­ Garner's inelegant charaoteriza­ ennial problem of the candi<i(.ate tion of the vice presidency was for office. He feels 00 must speak not phrased as Tugwell quotes and aot in a way which does not i t . ' . , truly 01' fully convey his oon­ -PaDnF.

What exactly it; the role of the ChristiGomissionary? He'­ evaluation of the whole idea of mission has left many CatholiCs in a, quandry cQncerningthe missionary's plGce in ~he" Chul'cb today. Sinc,~ Vatioan II has ;emphasized the filct, that ..salvat~~n can be gained even by those who are not external behevers 10 Christ is there a need for missionaries .totravelthrougholit the world' spreading the ,"Good News" ~f salvation?" :',:' The role of the .missionary today can be seen in this way~ ,Christ Is pl'esent among all peoples. He is there among the'tribes in the detmest jungles of Africa; He is there in the mount3ias of .AustraU,,; He is there in the deserts of India. He is presep~ even though the inhabitants' have Dever heard of Him. For that is the real fueaning of the Incarnation, that Christ became ~an to redeem ALL men once and for all. Missionaries, therefore. do not BRING Christ to these people; rather. they WITNESS to the fact He is there l}lready. For it .Js the Church's obligation to be ,a sign-a slgll~l. as, i~ were-to the world, tellill~ it._ that Christ. is allive, that Be Is PreseDt among ~ 1hatBe is walt.. ing to be reeogllilled. , By thei.r very being~' then Christian missionaries' are -~­ ~rming a' SE!rvice tbat no other people can perform. If, for some reason; missionaries could discharge no other function thall simply being with their people, this alone would be reason for their existence. For they L:ve openly labeled themselves as followers 01. Cbrist, and as such, they ~l'e manifesting to aR' the world the meaning ancil beauty of the Christian life.

Granted" tbeD. -UIat Clarlst has eome aacl ftlltalns with aU IDeD. What jibeD are we to make of Jesus' lui eommand "to make, cIIsciples 01 all natiollS"! Does the knowl.e that Christ .. ltresent amcln« non-believers Ies&eia the obliKation to spread- the l:08pel 1D~lage! Vathlan n has been espllelt In its reSponse .. this caaelltioll. ~ CbrJstiall mission• ..,. bas a, definite ob­ . ligation to "preaeh tile gospel to every erea&1lre," for what was onee preaeht!Cl bF the Lord mast be proelalmecl and sPread abroad. , to *be ends 01 the earth. Therefore, thoarh his primary eon­ eel'll Is Dot mass _version. the misslona..,. must still make an effort to preaeh the WGrd oC God. so that his hearers wiD M moved to accept it. III this way, what Is begun by Chrlst·s . presence alll,on~ men. ean be brought to falfiliment by tbe lMl­ eeptance of the gospel message.

But how does all this concern us? How is the avel'3ge Chris­ tian-who will never even see a mission field-aff~ted by this new awareness" of the ~issionary's place in the Church today? '!'he answer -iI simply this: as the missionary's obligation to bear witness to the presence of Chl"ist increll$eS, so, too, does our own.

The Council Fathers have admonished that "wherever they live, all Christians are bound to show forth, by the ex'ample of their lives and by ·the witness of their speech" that they are believers in Christ. Each one of us, then, has the ,obligation to be a sign Olf Christ's presence intpe world. All of us, of course, cannot ean­ 'NBS ·the world spreading the "Good News" of salvation; but .we can join hl ,prayer and sacrifice with those wbo do. The best .means's to support these mission efforts is the ,J;ociety for the Propagation -of the Faith, the Church's official missionary organ­ ~tion. 'Through the Society, :missionaries all over the world are aided in their efforts to build the Kingdom of God upon earth.

Your generosity to the Society will thus make it possible for mOre people to re~~nize Christ in too world.

PHILADELPHIA (NC) ­ Despite those who say law and love a're disparate con­ eepts, in reality they are not only compatible "but comple­ mentary, John Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia declared here.

"Both have the single ultimate object of promoting good," he said. "Love induces us to do good to those whom we love.

Law seeks to promote the good of individuals and of the com­ munity-the common good."

Cardinal Krol delivered the homily at the Red Mass held at 58. Peter and Paul Cathedral

during the convention of the

American Bar Association

(ABA). Judges and lawyers at­

tending the Mass included U. S.

Supreme Court Justice William

Brennan and Bernard G. Segal,

president-elect of the ABA.

In his homily, Cardinal Krol said history bears witness that when law is not an instrument of rational love, it serves as an instrument of whimsy and in­ justice. He said the decisions of the Supreme Court contain many examples of laws which were not reasonable and which did not safeguard the rights of all citizens. " ,,·,"'Lawyers' Responsibility , "In our,own state, the right of a child who desires a reli­ giously-oriented education to III share of the public funds for that part of his education which, , is secular and serves a public, purpose has only recently been acknowledged," Cardinal Krol stated.

The cardinal said the respon.,. sibility of lawyers to eliminate inequities in the legal system is all the more urgent because of the "strident articulate minority which invokes the inequities as an excuse not to reform and re­ new but as an excuse to reject all law and nuthority."

"Change is the rule of life but not all change is progress," Car­ dinal Krol noted. "Even revolu­ 'tionary chnnge can be justified," he continued. "But violence, rioting and anarchy are not a normill or necessary ingredient of change."

SAN JUAN (NC)-Lay men and women, representing three of the four Puerto Rican Sees have asked for a "real and rep­ resentative" role in all decisions which affect the laity.

Sixty-two lay people of the San Juan archdiocese and the dioceses of Arecibo and Ponce forwarded the petition to the hierarchy after participating in ca three-day course of pastoral theology at the diocesan center of Arecibo.

The laity petition asked the bishops to authorize a program to prepare lay men and women to take over their responsibility in participating in liturgical affairs.

They asked the laity to com­ mit themselves to establishment of lay councils, both a,t the paro­ chial and diocesan levels, to co­ operate w.ith the bishops and priests in a spirit of mutual re­ spect and dialogue. The petition asked the bishops for more au­ thoritati ve, pastoral councils.

NEW YORK (NC) The president of Kane-McNeill, Inc., in an address at a Catholic communications seminar warned that there is "little hope for the survival in their present form of the older Catholic print me­ dia, €;:atholic newspapers, mag­ azines and books as specifically Catholic enterprises under ec- . clesiastical sponsorship."

James F. Kane, a management consultant who has had wide experience in the Catholic pub­ lishing field, noted that the "principal Catholic magazine media show a 25 per cent de­ cline in number, and a 30 per cent drop in circulation in only

three years."

He continued: "When there is every evidence of a notable ac­ celeration of this decline for the current year, you need not be a prophet to foresei~ the obvious and inevitable outcome."

Tenure Uncertain Kane said that a major fail­ ing of Catholic publishers and other Catholics in the communi­ cations field is a lack of long­ range planning. He said it is dif­ ficult to get publishers to plan beyond the current fiscal year and attributed this failure to a lack of continuity in the admin­ istration of many Catholic pub­ lications.

to Influen~~ Voters

By Msgr. George G. Higgins

Religious News Service reports that a clergy com­ mittee for one of the candidates for the Presidency of the United Sta'tes was established during the last week of July. We are told that this new organization, which includes clergymen of ·all faitns, plans to be a working political tical matter, where and how we h' t will ever be able to draw the group. I tak e t IS 0 mean line on clerical involvement in that it plans to jump into political campaigns once it is "the political fray knee deep and s'ctively campaign f.or its chosen .candidate. I find it rather awk'ward to comment on this Qanusual develiapment if only · !because of the fact that the «:andidate in question a nd IlIl any 0 f the most prominent members of his new clergy comunittee-men of proven competence, integrity and good judgllIlent-happen to be close per:(iI()Jlal friends' of mine. .

On the other hand, 1 doubt · ~at they will take it as a per: sonal affront if I suggest-tent~eively and subject, of course, to · <DorTection--that the committee never should have been estab!ished in the first place and .ooouid seriously consider going out of business before it falls flat on its clerical bce.

Questions Prudence, Propriety, . Let me try to explain why I llll\ not in favor of such a committee and would be equally oppOsed to the establishment of , similar committees on behalf of any of the other Pre!!idential ~ndidates.

In the first. place, I do not question the "right" of individual clergymen to campaign for - political candidates of any per.", sliasion or at any level of gov,.: ernment-local, .state or federal. , . This is a free country, and nowhere is it written in our Con"'stitution or statutory law that "Clergymen, by reason of their "calling, must forfeit their right ., ''to run for' political' of'fice or ac':. 'tiVely to support political can". ditlates of their own choosing. '" .... 'Their "right"to do so, then, is not in question. But what about ,. prudence or the propriety of their doing so, not as a matter of abstract theory in some imaginary political order, 'but at this particularly moment in history in this particular American sO-, i' ciety with its lon'g-stnnding (if not· aways perfectly honored) tradition of clerical neutrality in electoral cam'paigns at any and every lev:el of government? . '. C~nseDsus Opposed This, ,It seems to me, is the only pertinent question. For my · own 'part, I would answer it in the negative. That is to say, I not think it is proper or prud f f "1 rg men under our :~ system en or0 fC egovernmen y , t a t thOIS ';. given moment in history, either to support or oppose particular eandidates for political office.

I also happen to think that, in voicing this opinion-which is merely' a pragmatic judgment and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to d-o with theology or Constitutional law7"I am refleeting the overwhelming consensus of the American people: 1 am persuaded, in other words, that Americans of all •. faiths-including those who ex·' peet. the clergy to play an active role, proper to their particular · c:alling, in the temporal. order-' 'most emphatically do not want: tHem taking sides, either pro or ,con, in political prima,ries or I elections. .

rationalized in a particular case.

The members of 'the clergy committee referred to above quite obviously think' that, in the case of their particular can­ didate, the moral issues involved are so transparently clear that they as "individuals committed to the expression of moral con­ sciousness" have the responsi­ bility to take a stand. .

Sincere Citizens Disa,gree Let's prescind from the fact that millions of othel' Ameri­ cans who must· also be credited with being morally conscious citizens, are on record as dis-' agreeing with their particular reading of the moral issues in­ volved' in the choice of candidates for the Presidency in 1968.

For present purposes, that's beside the point-except insofar as it suggests, to this columnist at least, that morally conscious clergymen ought to be a little more modest about contrasting their own sense, of mOl'al earn­ estness with that of other equally sincere citizens. . . For the moment, however, the point is that, in the practical order,. once the clergy start down the primrose path of .ad­ vising other people how to vote -and doing so from the point of view of their own reading of the moral issues involved-there is logically no way. of turning back.

By that I mean that rriorally conscious clergymen who are really determined to do so can readily justify getting involved in every election in which moral issues are involved-and name one of any importance ~n which this doesn't happen to be the case.

Doubts 'Responsibility' In pushing this matter to its logical conclusion, I am not drawing a long rhetol:ical bow just to win an argument. I am merely paraphrasing' what one of the founders of the above­ mentioned committee told the press, in the presence of his own candidate for the Presidency, when the committee was launched at the end of July: He said. that "priests, minis­ tel's, and rabbis'" *'*' as individ­ uaIs committeed to the ex pres­ sion' of moral consCiousness * * • have the responsibility'; when­ ever possible (sic) to take a stand. (in political' campaigns) before those who look to them for guidance."

The 'man who made that state­ ment is approximately the same age as the present writer, give or take a few years, and holds a position very similar to mine in his own ecclesiastical "e·stab,lishment."

Sin.ce he happens to be a per­ sonal friend of long standing, I hesitate to say him nay when he suggests that his constituents are .looking .to him for guidance in matters of partisan politics.

Frankly, however, I seriously doubt that this is the' case.

Pred,icts Repudiation IIi any'event, al1 I can say is that my ·own. constituents, who­ ever they ~~y happen to be, have never at any time turned to me or any of my associates for . guidance in such J;llaUers, and I sincerely hope and con­ fidently predict that they are Dot- ~ini to ·start doin,so be-

ROME (NC)-Airlifts on vltlViJ foodstuffs for Biafra's starving millions have come under heav3r fire from Nigeria anti-aircraft artillery, a spokesman for Carit-­ as Internationalis, the interna.­ tional Catholic charities orgaQo> ization, reports. .

However, he said the 20 ~ the 24 flights that Caritas had! scheduled for July had gottelll th·rough to the precarious ail'> strip in secessionist Biafrllb Flights were delayed betweetl July 10 and 20 for lack of avail­ able planes, but they were CM'D ried over into early A·ugust.

On Aug. 6, Nigeria federlil forces set up a gauntlet of :f1ak" sometimes forcing relief planee back to the base at the Portu­ guese island of Sao Tome, ~!8 the African coast.

"But our planes have beei.i running through the fire," the spokesman emphasized. He said! that only a few flights had been forced back by th::! intensity cl the barrage.

Some observers felt this stepo ped-up anti-aircraft fire wao part of an intensification of Nf.-, geria military prezsure that hag conincided with the opening an':; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, of peace talks between representatives ·om Nigeria and Biafra, Nigeri'*:J former East.ern Region.

young-sters in nine Catholic schools in the Detroit Arch­ «liocese have been notified their classes will be closed in September. O!lly about half are expected to find space in other Catholic schools.

"The basic trouble is finan­ ~ial," said Father John B. Zwers, superintendent of Cath­ olic schools, "although personnel and facilities are factors in some instances.. We strain every pos­ sible resource to keep schools going but sometimes something has to give."

Six schools closed either par­ tjally or completely are in the inner city and three are in out­ lying areas.

The number of pupils in the Catholic schools in the Detroit Archdiocese has decl'eased by more than 16,000 in the past three yeal's.

J<'iscal Burden Shifts "Every school system I know about is caught' in a financial bind and ours is no exception to the general Tule," Father Zwers said, noting Catholic schools do not get the help tax-supported schools do, but that "we can count only on the sacl'ifices of parents already hard-strapped to meet inflational'y costs. There is a limit to what you can ask of someone already heavily taxed to support public schools, "I would like to make one point clear," the archdiocesan school head continued, "Closing a school for financial reasons is 'Ilways a last resort after every possible way to keep it in oper­ ation has been explored, Neither we nOl' the pal'~nts of thc ch.il­ fll'en want any school to close that can possibly be kept open.­ ,It is estimated that the State of Michigan spends $610 a year on each child in public schools.

The more than 600 students fl'om Catholic schools to be added to the tax rolls will bring an additional tax bill of over II third of a million dollars.

Only ibeHest The Detroit al'chdiocesan school system is the second largest in Michigan, counting both public and private school groups. Over 140,000 are en­ rolled in 260 elementary schools and over 42,000 are in 96 high schools. The teaching services of over 3,429 priests and Reli­ Mious contribute .to kf;eping per pupil costs well below· the aver­ age for public schools.

"In some instances: it might have been possible ~q hang on a little longer by sevc~'ely dilut­ ing the quality of the1 education offered," Father Zwe;'s stated.

"This is a compromise we re­ fuse to make. If we c'lnnot offer qualil.y education we will not oUel' any. Natul'alIy It pains us to disappoint inner city parents who .....ant moral train~ng· as well as go·od academic preparation for their childl'en, but we must do what is necessary."

SAIGON (NC) Five new hospitals were opened in South Vietnam in July. They were built by the United States De­ partment of· Defense and the lJ. S. Agency for International Development (AID), mission in Vietnam.

They will be handed over to the South Vietnamese ministry of health and· will greatly im­ prove the medical facilities available for Vietnamese eivil­ ians, especially war casualties.

One hospital in Chu Lai is already open. .

Three of the five will be mil­ itary but will treat civilian war casualties. These three were financed by the U. S. Depaltment of Defense, The two AID-constructed hos­ pitals are pal·t of a group of eight to be opened in the next seven months, The eight range in size from 60 to ,140 beds and are being built in areas that now have inadequate civilian health facilities, They are in­ tended for. civilians but will also receive civilian war casualties, Over the past four years thcre has been an inc.rease jn the

number of Vietnamese civilian war casualties paralleling the rise in the intensity of fighting.

In 1964 civilian war casualties made up only 3.7 per cent of the patients in Vietnamese hospitals.

In 1965 the figure went to 4.2 per cent; in 19\i6 to 7.5 per cent and in 1967 to 11 per cent. For the first live months of 1968 the percentage has risen sharply to 26 per cent reflecting the sharp rise in injuries following the Viet Cong offensives against the cities and town.

First Stang High Appoin.tee to West Point Re.ady for Service in. Vietnam

Ask Continued State Support VIENNA (NC)-The AlI-HuD­ gary Lutheran Presbytery and the Synodal Council of the Re­ formed Church in Hungary have adopted resolutions marking the 20th anniversary of Church-state agreements and requesting a continuation of flillancial subsi.dy arrangements beyond scheduled expj,ration dates.

In separately phrased but nearly identical documents, the church groups both declared that the agl"eements have been tile basis for the development of good ~ations between the churches and the communist government.

At the same time, while af­ firming the basic principles of the· agreement, which called for s reduction in the state subsidy of 25 per cent every five years, both church groups expressed gratitude that the full reductions have not taken place and stated that continued financial support is necessary.

Of this total, it wa stated, some $2.9 million goes to the Catholic Church, $1.9 million to the Re­ furmed and $600,000 to the Luth­ eran churches. The Jewish com­ munitiy receives about $210,000 and the remainder goes to small­ er religious groups.

The report said that while the church-state agreement called for' an end ti>- state aid in 1968, the government has maintained . subsidies-largely for salaries of clergy and support of some church-related high schools and theological seminaries-at about 90 per cent of the original basic amount. It was said that the state . is expected to continue to pro­ vide financ.ial support for the ohurches. '

By Patricia Francis Four years ago, Peter A. Lopes made Stang High School history as the first grad­ uate to be appointed to a service academy. Today, 2nd Lt. Lopes is undergoing Ranger training at Fort Benning, Ga., is looking forward to his marriage in Decem.ber to a former Stang classmate and expects to' be heading for Vietnam :within the year. His four years at West Point, his mother ------r,',>' '--'--.\", Mrs. Albert P. Lopes reveals, . '.. ,; fulfilled her 8>On's "always" ambition. "He never wanted to be anything but a cadet at the ac~demy," she says.

Si,~ng in the living room of his family home at 68 Acushnet Avenue, New Bedford, Peter Lopes grins and agrees.

Stang, he says, gave him "good preparation" for: bns four Years· at the Point.· .

"I didn't feel lacking in any.; thing," he says, He thinks that proves the value of the North Dartmouth school's curriculum, since his classmates were gradu­ ates of high schools throughout the country.

A co-captain of the Stang football team during his Senior year, young Lopes admits "working under Mr. Lynch (then Stang football coach) probably helped."

In any event, Cadet Lopes survived four rugged years and was commissioned' a second lieutenant at graduation exer­ cises ·in June.

Regis Graduate A month before, his engage­ ment to Carolyn F. Durant ­ a Stang classmate - was an­ I\ounced by her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Robert E. Duranf of New Bedford. She was graduated from Regis College in June and plans to tea<:h, at least tempo- . rarily. .

Life was brighi and shining.

Then, in July, his father died suddenly liInd the family was plUnged from joy into ~dness.

Now the Lopes are beginning to get back ro a normal routine of living, something Albert Lopes would have wanted.

At home OJll a two-month' graduation leave, Peter Lopes admits with some chagrin he has gained "about 10 pounds." He doesn't seem worried about it.

Ranger training is rough and the 10 po'lUlds and more are Mkely to be pared from his 5 foot "I incb. f·rame before the course ends ill. October.

T·he· Jesuit official, who was the soCiety's' provincial in Born": bay before his Rome assignment; said: "Christians, faced with a cultural' and' spiritual crisis in the d.eveloping. countries, ·must present' and Qea'r witness to a full and true idea of man, and help these countries to. express it' in the new social structures they are elaborating." ' .

Father Correia-Afonso said there are three responsibilities for Western Christianity in the challenge of technology to the spiritual realm of the develop­ ing areas.

He said: "We must participate in the shaping of those major technological forces which. will 'continue to have such a decisive influence on the world."

He added that this participa­ tion includes the development of soc i 0 - economic institutions which are adequate for the open society which technology creates.

Christians must also work through world organizations and international conferences in meeting the challenge of tech­ nology.

Finally, he said, "experiments. must be continued of sending lay people, genliinely concern-:
