Conclave Participants Hail Ecumenism Theme

By Patricia Francis It was warm and humid, but the more than 1,500 per­ sons who crowded into the auditorium' of Stang High School last Thursday for the opening session of the 19th annu­ al New England Regional Con­ gress of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine didn't seem to mind.

"Let Your Light Shine Before Men" was the theme of this year's conference and the ''light'' really did shine for four days as religious and lay speakers alike stressed the brotherhood of man as children of an all-loving Creator and Lord.

cial sessions for the religious and laity into a cohesive whole.

The speakers who highlighted' the program were excellent. The topics w ere thought-provoking and evoked considerable discus­ sion. The exchange of ideas is expected to prove most fruitful.'

But, the most exciting aspect of the Congress was one which . was not consciously planned: It was the living proof offered by both the religious and lay parti­ cipants of the vitality, the in-' creasing "aliveness" of the Cath­ olic Church.

The Congress proved that God's priceless gift of faith, rather than being injured by an intellectual renaissance of the laity" actually is strengthened by it.

Speaker after speaker demon­ strated that with an increase in knowledge about GOd-His infi­ nite love and compassion, HiR generosity, His pattern for and hopes for mankind - comes an ever-increasing surge of fervor, an increase in zeal to spread His word, by word and by action. .

"Ecumenism is everybody's business," the Most Rev. Ernesl J. Primeau, 'S.T.D., bishop 0:1 Manchester said during one ot the general sessions.

Members of the Confraternity showed during the Congress the:JI not only believe in ecumenism­ and the revitalization of the Church - is their business, but they are doil~ something about it. ~ To a "Baltimore Catechism" Catholic--even one who still has Turn to Page Twenty

• Back In Fold Two 58-Year Old Eastern Rite Priests Return To Church After 30 Years' Estrangement PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Two Eastern-rite priests have' been received back into the Catholic Church by Archbishop John .T. Krol of Philadelphia.

They are Father Andrew C. Musko, pastor of St. John's Greek Catholic Church, Allen­ town, Pa., and Father Andrew C. Zapatocky, of Fords, N. J. Announcement of their return to the Catholic Church, after al­ most 30 years of estrangement, was made jointly by Fathers Musko and Zapatocky and Arch­ bishop Krol, who acted in his capacity as Apostolic Visitator for .the Holy See. Both priests will serve tem­ porarily .under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Krol as Apostolic Visftator. They made their pro­ fession of faith in the chapel at the archbishop's residence.

The two 58-year old priests were among members of the Byzantine Rite in the U. S. who became involved in a controver­ flY over administrative and dis­ ciplinary matters in the 19305 following regulation enacted by

Intention of the Mass is to pray for the cause of beatification of Frederic Ozanam, founder of the society, whose anniversary is commemorated this month.

"I was not satisfied to wait for a mass movement to answer the call to unity," Father Musko said. "I was anxious to realize the blessings of the ecumenical movement in my personal life at this time."

"For many years I have wanted to be in the same Church of my father, who was a priest, and the Church of his father­ my grandfather-who was also a Catholic priest in this country.

Now this has become a reality. I have finally come home-and I am grateful for this blessing. I am sure all the'members of "l1ly family and my relatives and friends will rejoice with me now that I am home again in the Catholic Church.

coure, it is none of their business, and it would remain none of their business if you were 10 or 20 years older than he although I admit this w 0 u I ~ arouse even more gos­ sip. But to reassure you, let me talk a little about age differences in marriage and just what they really mean.

Students of the family have a technical term, "age gradient", ttl refer to differences in age be­ tween husband and wife. Put into plain English it means that there is a tendency for men tel marry women who are two to four years younger than they.

But there are many exceptions to this. lJp until about the age of 18, girls tend to mature more quickly than men. Then the boys catch up and usually move ahead a little faster. This is why some high school and even grade school ~omances, which inciden­ tally should not really exist in the grade school at all, end up by the boy finding a girl younger 'Ulan the one with whom he originally went.

Happiness Score Hi~h But if one wanted to be com­ pletely logical about such mat­ ters, and of course no one is, it might bf' desirable for men to marry women who are a little older than they. The reason is that the male's life expectancy is somewhat less than that of a woman and if this ever became the common practice, the num­ ber of widows in our society would probably decrease.

There are many studies about age differences in marriage and their meaning for happiness or unhappiness. One of the very early ones which had a few peo­ ple in its sample actually found that when men married women considerably older than they, their happiness score was unus­ ually high. But one always sus­ pects that such men were look­ ing for mothers, not wives, and they were happy because they found a wife who acted like a mother.

Furthermore, it is entirely silly to attempt to put all of this on a chronological age basis. It is not really how old you are, but how mature you are that counts. And, incidentally, many, many other things count more heavily.

No Problem Your age difference is so slight that I cannot honestly believe it is an important factor in your future marriage at all. If you both come from the same type background, share a common reU

you really believe you love each other and are willing to wait two years for him to complete college, I see no problem.

Now as far as those persons are concerned who make nasty remarks about your age differ­ ence, I think they are busy bodies who ought to be ignored.

But you seem too sensitive to ignore these remarks and you suggest that you state you are 'his age. I am not a theologian, but in American society it is difficult to say that a woman who lies about 'her age is really committing a falsehood.

As a matter of fact, in our so­ ciety, It is considered in the worst taste to ask a woman how old she is. There are even legal provisions on certain forms that a woman is permitted to state that she is over 21.

If people ask you how old you are, I would simply fail to an­ swer the question. You can do it very neatly by turning the conversation into another chan­ nel, and if they don't get the message they are unusually stupid.

If they persist, you might make a remark to the effect that you are old enough to know what you are doing and discreet enough not to ask other people embarrassing questions.

Ignore Remarks In five or 10 years this is going to make very, very little differ­ ence. Generally, women tend to age a bit more rapidly than most men. But, on the other hand, nature's inroads in this matter can be more than compensated for by the use of artificial de­ vices-cosmetics, fashions; hair­ do's. and what not. There are few women in our society who do not utilize them.

Anyone who makes a' nasty remark to you about the slight difference in the age of you and your boy friend is scarcely a friend. You might ponder why these individuals feel it neces­ sary to insult you. Frankly, they are really beneath your notice.

So steel yourself a bit and simply ignore these remarks.

Be very thankful you have met the young man whom you love and who loves you. If you are going to worry now about such trivialities .as 18 months difference in your age, what- are you going to do when some really great problems present themselves in marriage as they inevitably will? I do not mean to be harllh with you and I fully appreciate that to you this is a problem. But I do hope in view of what I have said that it will -:ease to be so.

CHICAGO (NC) - Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. concluded a three-week seminar at Mundelein College by entering upon a two-year period of adaptation and experimenta­ tion in accordance with the "re­ newal and reform which charac­ terize the Church of the present day."

In her concluding address, Mother Mary Consolatrice, su­ perior general of the congrega­ tion, told the 275 Sisters present that their deliberations had given the Church "great expec­ tations for what we can do in the apostolate, great hopes as to what our lives will be like in the light of changes inspired by Vatican Counci~ II. ' ' "Since the Church has set the pattern of change for us, we have felt free to engage in open dialogue and to face the fact that 'the world, as' we have known it for so many years, is crumbling about us," Mother Mary stated.

"At this moment of history, it is not for us to waste our time approving or disapproving of what has happened or is hap­ pening in the world; rather we must be alert to the situation about us and we must decide how we are to react to the winds and currents of change."

Among other resolutions, all aimed at "adapting the congre­ gation and its apostolate of edu­ cation" to the mind -of the Church expressed by Vatican Council II, 'rere:' "the freedom of all Sisters to exercise respon­ sibility at a specific level of au­ thority."

Prelate Asserts Biggest Chicago Problem Is Race

BOGOTA (NC) - '~If we

have to, we'll take to the

streets to overthrow the gov­ ernment!'

This may sound like a com­

munist threat. Instead it is the

warning being repeated through­ out this South American nation by the president of its Catholic­ oriented labor union organiza­ tion. .

He is Tulio Cuevas, who heads the Jesuit-founded, 400,000­ member Union of Colombian Workers (UTC) which accounts for 90 per cent of the country's

organized labor force.

Fight to Death Cuevas is voicing his warning lrt a time when Colombia is go­ ing through a severe economic and social crisis that has brought widespread unemployment and

violence. He is voicing it as sup­ port grows, even among the cler­ . gy, for a priest-Father Camilo Torres-who advocates violent revolution and is calling for a

-fight to the death" against the ruling class.

Although he has sharply re­ proved Father Torres and con­ demned revolution, Luis Cardi­ nal Concha of Bogota said in a recent pastoral letter that "many things must be changed and many injustices righted."

In a joint statement last July the Colombian Bishops also ·de­ nounced revolution but declared that changes are necessary "so that all members of society might acquire a just share of material eoods."

Family Trouble

The Negro Family A confidential report done by Daniel P. Moynihan

while with the Labor Department pinpoints the causes for

the discontent among Negroes and contains a stinging in­ dictment of what white Americans have done to the Negro over the decades-injustices that will require a unified national effort to correct.

The essence of the report is that there has been a deterioration of the Negro family to the extent that the whole fabric of Negro society has been affected and Negroes as a group do not seem able to compete on even terms with white Americans.

President Johnson said in a speech at Howard Uni­ versity in June that the breakdown of the Negro family structure "flows from centuries of oppression and perse­ cution of the Negro man. It flows from the long years of degradation and oiscrimination which have attacked his dignity and assaulted his ability to provide for his family."

By means of slavery, humiliation and unemployment, white Americans have so degraded the Negro man that he does not stand as the head of the family and the family it­ llelf is not the significant unit of society among Negroes ihat it should· be.

Family life has disintegrated and has given rise to the poverty, isolation, discouragement that in turn assault moral, cultural, social and educational standards.

White Americans not only have the obligation to treat . the Negro with dignity and justice. They must over-extend themselves to help the Negro reestablish his family as a significant and basic unit of society rather than as a mere collection of individuals who happen to live together.

All Americans are seeing what happens when the father of a family cannot or will not direct the family and stand at its head. Children become confused and do not .know where to place their loyalties and trust; women be. come overwh~lmed at the responsibility that they do not know how or whether to wield. Men become outcasts in their own f~milies and a complete disintegration of the family circle quickly follows.

All Americans-white and Negro--should work to­ gether to preserve their own family circles and to support all the measures-equal job opportunities, right use of authority, dignity in dealing with individuals, cultural and educational opportunities-tb.at will build up and keep in­ tact the family that is the basic unit ofa sane and stable and wholesome society. . .

Valid Objection A spokesman for the National Catholic Welfare Con­ ference and the Pennsylvania Catholic Welfare Committee has told a Senate sub-committee tl1at those ag,.encies oppose use of public funds and public power for birth control pro­ grams on civil liberties grounds._ William B. Ball said that birth control legislation be­ fore the Senate offers no genuine prospect of relieving. the

problems of poverty, crowding and disease. On the other hand, he maintained, the power and prestige of the national government behind birth control programs would result in coercion and the violation of human privacy. . In a pluralistic society. Catholics do not waht to be accused of trying to force their own moral convictions on others of different convictions, but, at the same time, Cath­ olics do recognize that there is' such a thing as objective truth-that some things are wrong before God even if other people's mistaken consciences do not perceive this­ that some programs suggested to and by government harm individuals and infringe on their rights.

Catb.olics do not seek to force their beliefs on others. :But the alternative is not to hide their beliefs or to water them down or to pretend that the mistaken beliefs of others are just as valid. This is said with all humility but with the sincere realization that truth and falsehood are not equal. And while no one would or should attack the one holding falsehood as truth, the issue of truth cannot be brushed aside. .~

ILGWU's Summer Camp Is Modern 'Vacation Palace' By l\fsgr. George G. Higgins (.Director, Social Action ;Dept., N.C.W.C.) At the turn of the century, Werner Sombart, the great German sociologist, wrote a book entitled, Why Is There No Socialism in The United States? After considering a number of rather involved socio-economic-political a'uswers to this question, Sombart the' ILGWU still thought of finally settled for one which themselves as Socialists of a sort. is simplicity itself: "On the' In the early days, the New reefs of roast beef and apple York garment.workers who took pie socialist Utopias of every sort are sent to their doom" Those who thil)k that this explanation as to why So­ cialism n eve I.' took hold in the United States is too simple and too unsophisti­

cated will find a complete cat­ alogue of alter­ native or sup­ plementary an­ swers in Daniel Bell's essay, "Marxian Socialism in the United States" (Socialism and American Life, Volume I, edited by Egbert and Persons, Princeton University Press).

Whatever the explanation, however, the point is that Social­ ism never really got off the ground in the United States and by 1950, as Bell points out at the end of his brilliant essay, "had become simply a notation in the archives of history."

Many Impl'ovements Professor Bell's epitaph for American Socialism-and Som';' bart's earlier and somewhat pre­ mature, but very prophetic, obit­ uary - flashed back into my memory a few weeks ago as I was ,eading a pleasant little mid-Summer feature story in the New York Times about Unity House, the $10 million dollar "vacation palace" of the Inter­ national Ladies Garment Work­ ers Union.

Unity House, which is located in the Pocono Mountains, is a "1,OOO-acre preserve of towering oaks, manicured lawns, gay pe­ tunia beds, a private lake and other luxuries." It was started on a shoestring in 1919, when many of the officers and member of

advantage of the simple recrea­ tional facilities a1;. Unity House used to sit up far into the night deba~ing social and economic problems and talking about the philosophy of the elass struggle.

Gradually, however, as Damon Stetson reported in the Aug. 11 issue. of the New York Times, "mOdernization of the resort, the improved economic status of the workers and the influx of new members into the union have brought changes."

'Too Good for Bosses' That's putting it rather mildly.

The camp-if we can still de­ scribe it ~ crudely for old times' sake-now has 78 buildings, in­ 'eluding a million-dollar theater, a giant administration building, a dining room seating 1100 guests, a luxurious health club, numerous tennis courts, and a beach on the sparkling mile-long lake.

Saul R. Gold, managing di­ rector of Unity House, told Stet­

son that today the union mem­ bers want and get the finest in accommodations and food. They want steak and roast beef," he said, "and we give it to them."

Is it any wonder, then, that "the earlier emphasis' on the class struggle has been muted?"

After all, if it be true, as Som­ bert concluded at the turn of century, that socialist Utopias inevitably flounder on the reefs of roast beef and apple pie, how could they be expected to sur­ vive the diet at Unity House, which is so rich that some ILGWU members are accustom­ ed to saying goodnaturedly that it would be "almost too good" for the bosses?

non-graded program, becoming the first comprehensive Catholic high school to try the new con­ cept.

Father Lawrence J. Antoun, headmaster of the 560-student schoql which opened in 1961, said, "we felt we must depaJ4i from the traditional and stick our necks out a bit."

"The non-graded course basi­ cally means that a youngster call work in whatever phase he chooses and can move to an,' . phase when he has completed the requirements of a particular level," he explained in an inte... view. .

He said the notions that eve~ period must be 50 minutes HI length arid that every subject • ~ually important is discarded.

Venango will operate on • "modular schedule," he said.

Classes will run on 30-miuute modules so that. some subjecb may convene for 90 minutes one day and 60 on another.

Same Courses The school will continue to offer the same courses as in the past. All state requirements will be met. Students will be required to complete a four-year course, but they will be classed by the same stage of learning rather than by age. . Father Antoun, whose faculty of Benedictine Sisters and other priests have studied the philiso­ phy behind the new concept and will combine it with "team teaching," said students will be scheduled along six levels, rang­ ing from remedial courses to in­ dependent study for exceptional students.

Father Antoun explained that a student may progress rapidly one year and slowly another, or he may spurt ahead in one sub. ject and lag behind in another.

Achievement

A student may shift to anot.her class whenever his achievement warrants it and he may be re­ scheduled into a higher group at any time during the year.

Non-graded schools are in wide use in both public and pa­ rochial elementary schools, 'es­ pecially in the primary grades.

Applying the concept to high schools was pioneered six years ago at a public high school in Melbourne, Fla., and a handful of high schools have imitated the Florida project or adopted portions of it. .

Jesuit Among Calif.

Riot Investigators

LOS ANGELES (NC) -The Jesuit priest named to the gov­ ernor's committee to study the reasons behind 1;he Negro rioting here believes the group faces a highly complicated problem.

Father Charles S. Casassa, S.J., president of Loyola University here, said, "I can see there ill the problem of the relationship between law enforcement agen­ cies and minority groups, but I think there is something deeper.

What it is I am not sure."

The issues are many, he poted.

"There is race, housing, educa­ tion, job training and the rapid influx of population to an area apparently not equipped to han­ dle it," the Jesuit observed.

Father Casassa said that when Gov. Edmund G. Brown called him to seek his service, "he said he hoped we would be able to find out the causes of the trou­ ble, and more importantly, what to do to cure the evils and pre­ vent anything like .this happen­

ing again in Los Angeles and

the Modern World

The thousands who attended the New England Regional Congress the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine at Bishop Stang High School last week-the 850¡who registered for and attended the special training courses for present and potential CCD members-all understood that making the Church relevant to the ,,\orld today is the work of the Confraternity: It is the ideal that each CCD member keeps in sight as he and she rubs shoulders with the child, the teenager, the adult, the parent, the inquirer.

Men .and women from every area of the Diocese-visitors froni' all over New England-prelates from other Dio-

of

ceses and the honQred presence of Most Rev. Luigi Battazzi, Auxiliary to the Cardinal Archbishop of Bologna, Italy-nonCatholic guests who fostered the ecumenical spirit-all contributed to the sqccess of the Congress and drew guidance and inspiration from one another.

And as Bishop Connolly said in the Mass which he concelebrated with the New England CCD directors, the work of the Congress not only expressed thanks to God for His blessing on the wQrk of CCD, but pledged to progress in the ideal of letting the works of God slJine before men for His glory and the spr~rad of the Faith and the salvation of souls.

ed by Bishop Richard O. Gerow of NatcheZ-Jackson, the state'. only diocese.

In a letter read at aU Masses in all parishes of the state, Bishop Gerow said: "'Last year I wrote you eon­ eerning a policy to be observed in the schools of our diocese.

Now I am convinced that we may take a further step in bringing our practice Into full eonformity with the teachings of Christ.

"After, earnest prayer and meditation we announce that beginning immediately the doors of our parochial schools are open to all qualified Catholic students in all grades."

The DOliey enacted last year desegregated the first grade. In only two parishes, however, one in Jackson and one in Gulfport, did Negroes enroll. Bishop Gerow had taken the position that Catholic schools should de­ segregate only when the public policy of the state changed.

Rebuild Churches In the interim, however, he helped establish a "Committee of Concern" that raised funds to­ rebuild churches burned because of civil rights activities in them.

The new policy puts the Cath­ olic school system far ahead of MississiPPi;s public schools in desegregfating. M 0 s t public schools in the state have allowed Negroes to enter only a few grades .so far. ' The bishop may grant a one­ year eXtension if it is impossi­ ble for a school to integrate im­ mediately, " chancery spokes­ man said. But, he added, excep­ tions will be rare and only with specific Permission from the bishop.

Command to IPray ·Alwaysl Fulfilled in Many Ways By ~oseph T. McGloin, S.J. These may be sometimes hectic days in which we live, but in many another sense, they are also very thrilling. Of course, each of us has his own idea of what is thrilling, and some of us are left cold by the things others find ex­ citing. An opera addict could say before class or meals, which well be sickened by the Beat­ are usually in some set form. leg, while the Beatles' fan Meditation. Recollection may squirm a bit in the But no matter what form our course of even the best of the operas. Among the many things which are ex­ citing to some people today is the fresh knowledge we are getting of Scripture and its varying meanings. But while this is a thrilling thing, it also has its risks, insofar as we may tend to interpret everything in Scrip­ ture in our own favor.

A person will, for example, come across Christ's command to "pray always," and, if he doesn't particularly like to pray, he might say, "Well, obviously, He couldn't have ·meant that to be taken literally. I can't spend my life on 1UY knees." .

But th~ fact is that such a statement would be only par­ tially truco. True, we can't spend our live~ on our knees. But Christ did mean that we are to pray always.

Purpose' in Life Actuaay, when Christ told us to "pray always." he meant we' 2re to make o~r very lives-,. which we live "always" a prayer. And the only way to do that is tp turn our attention towards Christ and our purpose in life, rather than selfishly in on ourselves.

And so. if you make a good sincere Morning Offering at the beginning of each day, you're taking one big step towards ful­ filling this command of Christ to "pray always."

Prayer, you see, is not just a matter of bombarding God with words, no matter how lovely those wolrds 'might be in them­ selves. Prayer is, rather, union with God, or, as one great author named Augustine has put it, "the soul's affectionate quest for God." Forms of. Prayer And thi& we are capable of doing an day wng, whether we're on our knees or feet or anything else. And the things we look on as the "forms" of prayer are simply means to achieving this union with God, and remInders that this is our task.

If we are to achieve any union with God. we must, of course, make use of these forms of prayer. But the form always re­ mains a means to an end, and not an ella in itself.

We~ all know what vocal prayer ls-not necessarily shout­ ing our prayers at God, but rather Draying to Him in a set form of words already prepared for us. We have the Rosary, for example. which consists of set prayers, such as the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary. There are prayers such as the Morning Offering, and the prayers we

prayer takes, there should be as much ·thought as possible going along with it. When there is a good deal of such thought, we call this form of prayer "medi­ tation" - certainly a form of prayer which can be helpful and effective when we visit Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, or when we have just received Him in.

Holy Communion.

Maybe one of the best forms of prayer, one which helps in a special W:iY to carry out Christ's command to pray always, is known a~ "recollection."

If prayer is union with God, and we are supposed to pray al­ ways, then one way of carrying out this command is to think of ·God, to rr.alize that He is present within us by His knowledge, His power and His grace.

Once ypu know you're in the presence of God, it should be easy to talk with Him. Special Prayer There are occasions of special prayer which can be the greatest help to us in maintaining this spirit of recolle~tion, this union with Gori .

Our morning and evening prayers, for example, do not ordinarIly bind under pain of any sin, and yet, if said properly and falthfully. these little prayers can give us a great im­ petus to "pray always" as Christ ordered.

The sometimes stereotyped prayer we say before class may be the occasion that day of re­ newing our intention to serve God through this class we are about to endure and we can ae­ cordinglyoffer its joy to Christ, or its suffering as the case may be.

Union With God One suct> "occasional prayer­ is the grace we say before and after meals, a type of prayer given far too little emphasis and all too often said abstractedly and out of habit rather than with any attention to the beautiful meaning inherent in it. .

Grace before meals is a "little prayer.""So are the hundreds of other opportunities which occa­ sionally crop up - before class, at "Angelus" time, our morning prayers, and so on.

And yet, "little prayers". though they are, they unite us with God, and remind us that this is part and parcel of our very purpose-to unite ourselves with Him, to seek Him affection­ ately, to live in His presence, in a word to "pray always."

Asks True View Of Three Vows

.

-

OTTAWA (NC) - Religious 't'Ows are a deliberate sacrifice anq. should not be regarded as an escape from occasions of sin, the women's section of the Ca­ n.adian Religious Conference was told here.

The vows of poverty, chastity and obedience are acts of self­ denial practiced by a soul "anx­ ious to respond to the love of God," Auxiliary Bishop Francis A. Marocco of Toronto told the women's 11th annual assembly at St. Paul University.

The common tendency to dis­ cuss the vows as if they repre­ sented' a running away from sin should be changed for two rea­ sons, he said.

"One is the false impresssion given to lay people," he ex­ plained.

"They must not think that we consider worldly goods, sex and personal initiative as bad things.

Those aspiring to a religious vo­ cation must not get the impres­ sion that, we Religious have an aversion for good things which God Himself has created and to the use of which God calls the majority of human beings," he said.

"But the main reason for un­ derstanding the vows is to en­ sure that our practice of them may be truly an evidence of our truly great love of God. We do Dot sacrifice ownership, marriage and self-determination because these are bad," he said, "but be­ cause they are good."

Urges Dr. King

To Concentrate

On Big Cities

CCD

Continued from Page One strong reservations about certain liturgical changes-the Congress was an eye-opener.

It brought the sudden realiza­ tion there really is an active role for the layman in the Catholic Church, one equally as important in its own sphere as that of the priest in his.

Gone are the days of a blind faith based on nothing more than "Sister said it, so it's so."

Replacing it is a faith that is stronger and more resilient be­ cause it is built on a foundation of knowledge, on the basis of deliberate choice.

Today, the Congress proved, passivity of the laity is as out­ moded as a horse and buggy.

There was a day, not too long ago, when there was an element of truth in non-Catholic critics' charge of a "priest-ridden" laity that sat back passively waiting to be told what it should e- . doo .

That day has gone. Confrater­ nity members proved during their Congress that today a lay­ man can work effectively and productively for his church and his God, not as a "sub-priest," but as a normal, intelligent, reasoning member of Christ's human £:imily in his own partic­ ular world of family, school and business.

Historically, the layman has been an "apostle" since Christ founded His church. But in actu­ al practice over the centuries, the layman has relinquished more and more of the responsi­ bilities that are as much his as are the rights and privileges at­ tached to membership in the Mystical Body of Christ.

Now, the Catholic man and the Catholic woman are starting again to accept the responsibil­ ities that are theirs.

As many of their Protestant brethren have long since done, the Catholic layman is beginning to move back into the market­ places of the world and to tell the wonderful story of God's love and mercy in words and in ac­ tion to those who do not know Him or who have f<¥'gotten Him. That was the exciting story told in session-by-session chap­ ters at the Congress held at Stang High School.

"This is true," it added, "not only because there. is no lack of poor people in this bountiful and phenominally prosperous land, but also, and more importantly, because there is less excuse to­ day for the continuation of wide­ spread poverty and infinitely less excuse on our own part for steeling our hearts and shutting our purses against its unfortu­ nate victims."

The statement said labor and management have done much to raise the living standards of millions of Americans. How­ ever, "the traditional techniques of labor-management coopera­ tion are not sufficient, of them­ selves, to solve the nagging prob­ lem of abject poverty in the midst of plenty."

The suggestion that working men with a " 'favorable standard of living ... may be inclined to larget their comrades who are tAOt so well off'" w.as termed "unfair to the majority of Amer­ Ican workers."

But the statement added that IUch a charge can serve as "a ehastening reminder··· that they have an obligation to con­ cern themsetlves personally with the problems of the poor and to help them to improve their lot an life."

The Best

er leaders of the "Negro power structure" to concentrate on the problems of big cities like Los Angeles.

Msgr. John D. Toomey called on Negro leaders to give up the "more pleasant task of reform­ ing" small southern communities and instead "tackle the tougher problems of the big cities like taking knives and Molotov cock­ tails away from Negro boys.

Msgr. Toomey, pastor of St. James church here, is a member of the Georgia advisory commit­ tee of the U. S. Civil Rights Commission and a presidential appointee to the Community Re­ lations Council. He has been ac­ tive for the past two years in interracial mediations in Savan­ nah.

He made his appeal in an' "Open Letter to Dr. Martin Luther King" which was sent to the Negro leader, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and published in the Southern Cross, newspaper of the Savannah diocese.

Cites Wrongdoing Msgr. Toomey expressed ad­ miration for Dr. King's civil rights work and admitted that "we white people share the blame for the conditions which led to the rioting" in 'Los An­ geles.

"But we did not do the looting and burning and shooting," he said. "And it is still wrong to disobey the law, to flout author­ ity, to kill, to injure and to steal."

U r gIn g groups like the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to tum their atten­ tion away. from Southern com­ munities, Msgr. Toomey said "these places needed a lot of re­ forming and perhaps still need more-bilt there must be enough people In these local communi­ ties to do this job themselves" while civil rights groups concen­ trate on the big cities.
