Pope Paul

Fight VA1'ICAN CITY <N:C) Pope Paul has pledged the Ohurch to a fight for social ~'8tice and against the e.x tremc abyss between the rich [lnd poor classes of Latin Amer ~.
This was a constant theme of Eils majol' speeches during his ~hree-day visit to the 39th In ternational Eucharistic Congress in Colombia, one of the Latin American countries in which economic imbalances are the major social problem of the day. But, at the'same time, a second ary theme-rejection of the use oi wolence and revolution-was
sounded time ,and time again. The Pope's trip to Bogota, the high mountain capital of Colom bia, was the first visi t of a Pope bo Latin America. And with a flair for the dramatic which Pope Paul frequently has shown in the past, he opened it by kneeling to kiss the ground on his arrival at Bogota's EI Dorad do aindpOl"t. In doing so he emu lated the gesture made by Chris topher Columbus when he first set foot upon the '!lew c:pntinent. Drama was not confined to his ait'port anival. Not long after, the Pope was almost mobbed on his arrival at the cathedral and shortly after inside the building

Helping to heal them are the city's two largest Catholic parishes, one of . ch · h h ad b w h IC een' pretty mu insulated to the needs of the community until recently. Plainfield has not only been quiet this Summer but whites and blacks have begun to work together. . One sign of this is the day camp being conducted at St. Mary's parish here for 5 to 12 year-olds. It is one 0 f 2 1 camps in various centers under an anti-poverty· campaign . called Community Action Plainfield Crusade.

There -were some common recommen dations which included the fol rowing: Consolidation of at least those schools which indicate possibil Wes of economies of scale, while improving quality. Increased teacher specializa tion, particularly in provision of centralized services to many oohools. Improved teacher. quality through hiring practices requir ing and paying for appropriate academic degrees, while encour aging personnel to acquire ad vance degrees, perhaps through subsidizing teacher education. ' Continual economic evalua tion of' possIble cost':'sav'ing teaching aids and other innova tions to improve the quality of eatholic education. Regional Councils Establishment of regional councils for Catholic education, which would be advisory to school boards and serve as in formation agencies in reaching the broad public and as grass :roots reflectol'\9 of opinion. Shift of parish high schools to diocesan control, to be financed through the diocese by means of weighed parish assessments es tablished by a lay-controlled board of education and based on the financial ability of the indi Yidual parish.

So, when asked about the challenge which now looms before her, Sister Lorraine with some effort, slowly but distinctly replied: "I trust in God." Then she went to her type writer and 'recorded her impres sions. They went like this: 'One of Them' "I was asked how I felt about such a new and unusual experi ence; such a huge responsibility. I was asked this. because I am so young, being professed only two years. Was I excited? Frightened? "I was .praying that I might some day be able to work for the people who are deaf"':"'I. am one of them. I see this as the call of God and that here is an opportunity to give othel'\9 who are less fortunate, a chance to serve God just' as well as others." Sister Lorraine recently spent two weeks as a counselor at a CYO camp for deaf children at Sparks, Md. Understand in Silence "With my experience at camp I saw that they (the deaf) really need help to know more about God, not just a once-a-week class. I saw their lack of com munication with the hearing. I want to close the gap. The deaf people need the witness of deaf Sisters. They understand each other in their silence as friend . understands friend." "Deaf and hearing people have have different ways of un derstanding, she said "just as a foreign missionary and the peo ple he works with cannot possi bly see things in the same way. Only a Chinese can really un derstand a Chinese." The call to come to Texas came from Father Christop~er Springer, C.SS.R., who long has dreamed about founding a reli gious community for deaf girls. The Redemptorist began work ing seriously on the project about three years ago. Through the International Catholic Deaf Association, (ICDA), he asked for opinions, recommendations and lettel'\9 of endorsement for his idea. Sister Lorraine saw the items in the ICDA News and sent her letter to the priest. After receiving the encourage ment of priests, Sisters and lay educators, Father Springer pre- . sented his plan to found a deaf religious community to his su periOl'\9 and to his bishop. He re-

In Brazil Church
PARIS (NC) - Archbishop Gerald de Proenca Sigau,d, S.V.D., of Diamantina, Brazil has denounced "communist infiltra tion in the Catholic Church of Brazil," Le Monde, Paris daily, reported. In a statement to the press the 58-year-old Brazilian-born arch bishop said: "Communist in!il tra,tion in the Catholic Church of Brazil is so visible that only the desire to preserve an ap-. pearance of Catholic life or the desire not to alarm the faithful can explain the fact that priests and bishops deny it." . After stating that communist elements have probably entered the seminaries and then "have been raised into the clerical hierarchy," the archbishop added that many priests and Catholic leaders "repeat, as if they were children, communist slogans against North American impe rialism and neglect censuring the world's worst imperialism, which is communism."

The overt struggle hi Viet nam and the pressures on Czechoslo vakia reflect an \JDstable world balance of pow er with great .powers on both sides 'resisting what they con ceiye to be dan gerous exten sions of rival influence. Yet the recent tentative steps toward Great Power agreement on a measure of de-escalation sug gest that arms spending could stabilize and even fall. Reduce Taxes Any such potential release of resources from the purposes of destnlction must in any case be considered seriously. If citizens have no views, if they have made no judgments in advance, tbe first and obvious conse quence of a faJl in arms spend ing will be a reduction of taxes. The pain and grief with which the members of Congress have increased taxation in 1968 are the measure' of the speed and pleasure with which they would remit ,thcm in the wake of re duced spending on arms. But is this 9bvious outcome good enough .for Christian citi :zens? If we take the average Amerjcan family income-some $7500-this year's JO per cent surcha,rge is about $75 for a two ehild family. The moral problem ,vhich the remission of this sum (Oi' any larger tax rebate) pre sents to each Christian family is basically' a very simple one.

If the children are attending good schools with. competent teachers and excellent library services, what ought parents to feel about remedial spending for wretched drop-outs from run down ghetto schools or about worldwide literacy campaigns to help millions of ignorant people to help themselves--in fanning, in factories, in fact, in every thing? ' We are not taught, on the whole, to do this, kind of moral calculus. Certainly we are not taught to do" it on a planetary s~ale. All our folklore teaches us to speak of the "tax-bite" - as though it alone were a painful fohn of spending and there were no "bite" i", other expenditures. But, as Christians we have. to look beyond the folklore and ask ou rsel ves the questions which confront the conscience of all whose material resources have gone far beyond the fundamen tal provision of their own neces sities.

Priests' Retreat
Starts 'Monday
Rev. Raymond A. Tarbll. 5.S.5., of New York, director .. the Priests Eucharistic Leag&lj and editor of the Emmanuel magazine, will conduct the alia nual retreat for the priests .. the Diocese which will take place over' the 'next two weeJai at Cathedral Camp in East Free town.
It is intriguing· to review the progression -of thought and action in the government's attitude toward the curb ing of births. , , There was a time, just a 'handful of years, ago, when the then President Eisenhower called the matter a private eonce'rn and' no business of government. , Now government is willing to provide birth control help for those asking, and the indications are that the asking is encouraged. , A Tufts University physiologist has gone a step fur ther and has said, "If tlie birth rate can't be controlled by voluntary means, then it is, I believe, a necessary and proper function of the government to take action to re duce it." He said that drugs should be developed that could be administered to an entire population to reduce the number of children born. The fact that such a course of action could be seriously advanced and advocated is a strange progression of thought and action and puts government in role of such tyranny that tl1e boldness of the proposal is almost beyond belief. Any solution of a problem that calls, upon the eradica tion of people or the prevention of their birth in such a bureauocratic way harkens back to an era of only a' gen eration ago when human beings were catalogued and. judg€ d and disposed of in a governmental procedure that went under the name of "final solution" and whose full impact still has' not penetrated in all its immense horror into the minds and consciences of the human race. A solution of economic problems that is based on this approach, rather than that of bettering peope's lives and expanding economic opportunities and providing the ma terial needs of people, is a capitulation to pessimism a~d a surrendering to the status quo. The old and oft-repeated remark of G. K. Chesterton ~omes to mind, "If there are five men and three hats does the solution lie in cutting off two heads?" A further consideration is how far is the government to go into the lives, of men? To the extent of imposing. by law a certain condition. upon all men and then, settmg up-how else to do it-some bureau and some officials to judge who may ,have 'children and who may not?

Pope Hopes uSe
Of· Outer Space
"Win Aid J>eace
'. ~AST.EtGANDOLFO(NC) ':-Pope Paul has expres~ed the hope that new space <ex plorations may destroy "the ,barriers which still impede !!)eaceful relations" amon~ na tions. The Pope's hopeful thought was contained in a letter to Ji'.ranziskus Cardinal Koenig of Vienna on the occasion of the meeting there of the First In iOOrnational Conference on 'Ex ploration and Peaceful Utiliza ,tion 9f Extra - Atmosph~ric Space. , Of the conference, he said: "'!1 may be--.and God grant it be so-the announcement of, the furthcoming al;>olition of the bar riers which still impede peace ltul relations between some social and national groups, the sign announcing an era of sincere c0 operation among all the nations of the world, a turning which may be the decisive one in the tIormented march of mankind toward unity and peace." The Pope, however, sounded, 11 'Warning about exploitation of space. He singled Ollit such possibil Ities as "if the benefits of space atilimtion 'were to benefit-at the expense of justice-only a certain group of nations to the exclusion of others; if the free circulation of information were also to imply without control the propagation of false news; if the increased 'tNlnsmission facil ities were to become an instru ment of ideological propaganda aiming at spreading subversion, IDt kindling hatred, at strength ening racial discrimination and at setting peoples and social classes against one another' in !Stead of uniting thein.~ 'Space Law" , The Pope noted that "the pro'g ~s of a scientific nature' has not always been a~compariied "by'simaa'r progress in the'field ,"of morills~ law' 'and 'of 1nterna (ional cooperation."

Franciscans Hold Chapter Meeting
THE ANCHOR:
Thurs., Aug. 29,1968
labor Day Continued from Page One' formerly the USCC Social Ac tion De'partment, cited the report of the Commission on Civil Dis orders several times in the La bor Day statement and said it is too late for any further delay in adopting the commission's rec ommendations. The statement said that "it is time to implement the' recom mendations of the Commission's report, whatever it may cost in terms of dollars and cents and whatever painful changes it may 'require us to make in our tra ,ditional way of doing things as labor leaderS,employers, church men, educators, or just plain cit izens," ' Speaking of the need for full, 'employment, the statement 'stressed that 'it did not intend "to point the finger of scorn, at organized labor for the acklHHvl edged failure of some of its af filiated unions; in the North as well as in the South, to practice racial equality." Complete Integration "None of us in the white com munity can afford to cast the first stone at any segment of our society," it continued. "We a rEi all too deeply implicated in the scandal of 'white racism' to be able to rationalize our own sins or divert attention from our own failures by shifting, the blame to someone else. "Rather it is our purpose to ,encourage the labor movement not to give ,up, but to fight hal'der." The statement said that labor "has already made a significant commitment, through the Na tional Council of the Building ,and Construction Trade Unions AFL-CIO, to encourage and re cruit Negro memberships in ap prenticeship programs," but this and similar efforts must be "intensified and fully imple mented." 'The labor movement, the shitement said, in order to be faithful to its' own pri~ciples,' "cannot settle in good conscience for anything less than complete integration from top to bottom and across the board." , The statement also called on business and 'industry to inten-' sify efforts to provide on the job training for the hard-core un-' employed; to join' the commu nity 'efforts -of the National '", Urban Coalition and its local counterparts, ~nd' to help in de~ ,veloping Negro ownership of business in ghetto areas.

Education Board
BURLINGTON '(NCh-A lO man task force, studying Catho lic education in Vermont for the past year, has recommended that Bishop Robert F. Joyce of BUl'lington create a diocesan boar.d of education which would have full responsibility for set ting educational policy, The board would integrate, combine, and coordinate all ex isting programs, including those in .'eligious education and aQY new ones that might be insti tuted, A full-time diocesan superin tendent of education would be the executive officer of the board, the task force said, with a sufficient professional staff to administer the board's program effecti vely. The task force, appointed last year by Bishop Joyce, called for a broadening of support for all educational structures in the di ocese. It has recommended the continuance of schools now' in operation "in those areas where they fully serve the purposes of Christian education, as' pre scribed by the diocesan board of education." . ,,

PITTSBURGH (NC)-Dr. Nathan Wright, Jr., execu tive director of the depart ment of urban work in the
PASSAIC (NC) -Byzantine- rite Catholics numerically are D minority but have "an import ant role to play in the life and future of the Catholic Church," the bishop-designate of the By,.. zantine Catholic diocese of Pas saic said here. Bishop-designate Michael J'. Dudick, 52, was named by Pope Paul VI to succeed Bishop Ste phen J. Kocisko, who has head ed the diocese since 1963. The bishop-designate said: "As Catholics of the Byzantine rite, we are numerically a mi nority in the' Catholic Church, although the Byzantine rite does represent the largest of the va rious Eastel'll Catholic rites. De spite this numerical minority, we feel we have an important role to play in the life and fu ture of the Catholic Church. "The bishops of our rite have contributed much to the success of the Second Vatican Council. . The effects of these contribu tions are now effected in many ways in the Church today. We sincel"ely hope we can continue to add to their contribution."
Newark, N. J., archdiocese, es tablished the mood for the first National Black Sisters Confer ence here by asking all non blacks to leave the room when he began his opening address of the conference. . Dr. Wright's request stirred up an immediate controversy which culminated in the ejection of a white civil rights worker from the auditorium. When he announced his' re 'quest before speaking on "Black Power and Christian Love," two white persons in the audience, 11 priest and a reporter, left the hall. A discussion arose among the Negro nuns over whether 'the , ~ &.",-",_.J whites should be excluded.

Prelate Deplores Polluted Liturgy In Home Masses ROCHESTER (NC)-Bish op Fulton J. Sheen of Roch ester has M7backed the" 'New Liturgy'" used by some priests in home Masses in the diocese, calling it "a polluted liturgy" a~d a "perversion of the holy." In a letter published in the Courier-Journal, newspaper of the Rochester diocese, Bishop Sheen said this" 'New Liturgy' • • • is as old as the mad devia tions in the groves of Israel • • • "With its euphoria, its bap tized LSD, its gestures, prostra tions and gyrations, its bid for secrecy like a veil fluttering be tween 'sworn friends,' its Simon Magus appeal to the 'spirit,' its poetic heaviness and spooky cavernous blackness, its instinct for neuroticism and madness mocking the accents of love--all these have generated a new kind of priest whose heart is not burning, whose eyes are not ablaze, whose face is gray with the pallor of those who live un derground," he said. Recalls Wamiings But he refused to withdraw the blanket permission for home Masses which was issued some time ago, and chose not to penal ize priests who violate the guidelines for home Masses. The letter said the Bishop has received "many requests" that the priests be penalized in some way. Instead, he recalled Old Testa ment warnings against liturgical violations: "May God in heaven not visit upon them the penality given to the liturgically errant priests of the Old Testament: 'Their sins shall ,not be purged by sac rifice or offering forever,''' said the bishop And he added: "The house which permits ,the desacra Jization of the Divine ,Mysteries llhall, whenever it permits such profanatiON! an~ liturgical devi ations, live in ~read of thewo~s of Our Lord: 'Your house shan be left to you desolate.' " The letter did not specify the violations of the guidelines which had occurred, nor did it Dame the priests involved. Seveu Involved Bishop Sheen's letter said he knew of "seven of our priests who are involved in serious pro fanations of the Sacred Mys teries." One, he said, has "come in repentance and amendment." The Bishop himself was not Ilvailable for comment. Diocesan chancellor Father James M. Moynihan said the letter was di rected at no specific violations, or persons but 2t "certain things that have come to our atten tion." He refused to identify the priests mentioned in the letter, and said the bishop had no spe cific group in mind when he eriticized the "Underground." However, the letter appeared five days after the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, the dty's daily paper, carried a de scription of II home Mass at which the recordll of folksingers Simon and Garfunkel were played, Isaeli songs were sung and the priest was only partially vested.

Brother Preparing for African Return Is in Market for Medicines, Books By Patri'ci a Francis ,Brother Raymond Thibault, 36, son of Mrs. Albina (Belisle) Thibault of 99 Hatch St., New Bedford, and the late Romeo N. Thibault has been home from Africa since June. It is his first visit in five years and when he landed he was carrying dozens of souvenin; of his new "home" in Malole, Zambia--,including hand carved elephants, one of teak and one of light ma- ' hoghany. Is he a Republic'an? Brother Thibault refuses to
comment-probably on the grounds of self-incrimination but, in any case, the elephants are works of art. A native of St. Joseph's Par ish in New Bedford, Brother Thibault entered the Sacred
Heart order in Harrisville, R. I.,
after graduating from St. Jo seph's School.
He completed his studies in
the order and later taught in
Central Falls, R. L, Lewiston,
Me., and Sharon before being as
signed in 1956 to St, Francis
Secondary School in what then
was Northern Rhodesia. Since then, the name of the nation and the state of education both have changed. Since Zambia became an in dependent nation in October of
1964, he says, "education has
had a tremendous boost.
"We now are state-supported. There has been tremendous building of schools-at least 12 new secondary schools - and many new elementary schools have been constructed on a self-help plan." Under the self-help plan, he explains, "the government sup plies steel for the framework, a zinc roof, doors and windows and desks. The people' make bricks and actually put up the school." He feels the involvement of the people makes the schools more important b' the coDunU 'nities as a whole. ' 'Five years' ago when Brother Raymond was in New 'Bedford on home leave, he talked about' the planting of a' grove of eof fee trees. " '.,'. "Now they are about five feet high and in full production what are left," he says. "A brush fire ripped through them last year and we just have about 52 left." He also is proud of the "five or six natives who have turned to farming-most of them grow ing maize." Maize is a boon to the 13 Sa cred Heart brothers and one priest who staff St. Francis' School for boys. When Brother Raymond and the others first ar rived in Malole, they ate rice unle~ they could make the 470 mile trip to the rail head at N dote to collect grain to make. bread. . St. Francis, of which Brother Raymond 1 speaks in glowing terms--he teaches French, his tory and religion to Freshmen and Sophomores-is a boarding school with a student body of' approximately 373 boys, 16 to 27 years of age. The boys "help in the garden,"
Brother Raymond says, explain ing the school grows vegetables and has a banana orchard and lime, grapefruit and papaya trees, "but we take care of the ehickens ourselves." The Sacred Heart Brothers bave "a couple of hundred dllcke!1s and we eat and sell the eggs. We can go to a police sta tion about 30 miles away and sell them, it gives us a litUe 1leV- . enue." The brothers a]so kill their own cows for meat and fill in their menues with "tinned goods" transported from Ndote f.n a "relatively Jl:eW truck." The "new liturgy" has crept IDto ,A:frican We just as

American Hie, Brother Raymond' lNiys. . "We have drums now and then, they play their own music, it's like .a Congo Mass - very slow--:'it's a two-part chanot, one group 'chanting and the other .responding." Brother Raymond also ob serves that the dispensary at the school, which serves the sur rounding area, still is doing a booming business. "We had 3,856 outpatients and 252 bed patients between Jan. 25 and June 5, he says. Included in the dispensary activities 'were the births of "four more babies,
one named Albina after my mother, another one named for me." Mrs. Thibault, who retired in May, after seven years as house keeper in St. Mathieu's Rectory in Fall River, chuckles. "It reminds me of when the
children were young and
brought money into Mission col lections at St. Joseph's to buy Chinese babies," she says. Since his arrival home, after a plane trip to Nairobi, Zurich
and London and a voyage from London to New York aboard the SS France, ,Brother Raymond has reveled in his mother's cooking. "He likes anything and every
thing," she says, shaking her
head.
The enjoyment is obviouS.
Since he landed in New Bed
ford June 10, Brother Raymond
Thibault has broadened his scope. "I weighed about 180
pounds when I got here," he
says, sounding chagrined. "Now
I'm up to 212."
He expects to lose weight as
fast as he gained it once he re turN! to Malole iti September. At- least, that's what he says.
Mrs. Thibault gets up and dis
appears. She 'returns with' a '2% loot carved African' drum, with eland skin stretched tight across the t9P. ' ' , "I'm going to have tliis opened to use as a sewing cabinet," she says. . With just a./few more weeks at home, Brother Raymond is starting to perk. , He is in the market for books -any number and any kind of books-for thE~ school library.

Protest Donation To Poor Families In San Antonio DULUTH (NC) - Protest letters have been received at St. J"ean's church here as a result of the parish's recent contribution to poor families in San Antonio, Tex. Some 39,600 packages of pud ding, loaded in a railroad freight car were sent to San Antonio as a donation from the Christian Family Movement (CFM) at St. Jean's. , Father Elmar Mauer, O.M.I., of St. Jean's church, said the protest letters came from indi vidual San Antonians who ob jected to the gift's alleged" con notation that there are starving people in San Antonio. 'Not Needed' "We have had letters telling us that this food was not needed, and objecting to the implications of the donation," the priest said. "Let me make it perfectly clear that we in no way meant to slam San Antonio. We "sent the food because we thought there was a need for it, not be cause we were implying there were starving people there," The San Antonio public press pl"Qminently featured a story about the shipment which was sent to Father Ralph Ruiz of the Inner City Apostolate, who works in some of the most de prived areas in the city. It was sent to the priest in care of the Bexar County Hospital District whieh maintains the Robert B. Green Hospital in San Antonio. Father Ruzi appeared on the controversial CBS tele-vision documentary "Hunger in Amer ica," and also recently, told a congl'essional 'committee in Washington about the problems of hunger and malnutrition in San Antonio. Father Mauer said that" fol lowing the TV progl'am, the par ish CFM. of about 24 couples, asked what they could do to aid people in the four amas depicted on the" program. He said the locales pictured on the progl'am-San" Antonio, Leesburg, Va., Window Rock, Ariz" and Selma, .Ala, - were contacted and asked if a dona tion could be used. Father Mauer said that only Leesburg, Va" tUl"l1ed down the offer of assistance. "Jeno's .Inc. offered us over 90,000 pounds of pudding if we could see that it was delivered," he continued. "When Leesburg refused the offel', we divided it three ways between San AntOlrio, Selma and Adzona." The boxes-an instant variety of powdered substance that can be mixed with milk or water to produce a pudding-were un loaded by volunteers from the San Antonio Neighborhood Youth Organization alld are be ing stored at La Salle High School.
