'The U.

Pope Encourages Positive Critics Of Church CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) The Church has two kinds of critics, Pope Paul VI said: Those who are "oriented toward the lruth" and those wtth "no other interest in the Church except to denounce her." He called the first kind positive critics and the second kind negative critics and said he wished just about every Catholic might helong to the first category. The Pope was speaking Sept. 12 at a general audience at his summer home here. He said the Church's positive • critics focus on "her true nature, beyond her outward and human appearances, as the Mystical Body of Ghrist." , Such positive criticism "doesn't hide a thing;" he said. It "renders U!'l all the more passionate and loving toward Quist's Church, the more it reveals to us the defects,' inconsistencies, sufferings and needs of the Church's human face" 'Malign Spirit' He wound up his discussion of positive critics with the observation: "We would be happy if just about all who call themselves the Church's faithful children and loyal members were critics of this kind.'" The Pope said negative critics are "animated 'by a' malign spirit," ready both to think evil and to rejoice at it. "Unhappily this pessimistic spirit is fairly widespread today. 11 has no other interest in the Church· except to denounce het' deformities, true or false, and to draw from them opharasaic arguments to her condemnation and to its own praise." Referring to the Holy Year which will have its conclusion in Rome in,1975, the Pope said: "We hope that this moment of the Church's fullness will be marked with love for the same and of the same holy Church. Love of the Church must be our foremost and freshest attitude in this spirftual, historical season."

Pope Urges Czechs Preserve Faith

North Attleboro Maryknoller Heads , Buffalo Development House MARYKNOLL, N. Y. - Rev. Peter P. Mullen, M.M., a Maryknoll missioner from North Attleboro, has been appointed Regional Director and Superior. of the Buffalo, N. Y, Development House. A 1951 graduate of North Attleboro High School, Father Mullen received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Mary- ~ knoll College, Glen Ellyn, 111., in 1957. At Maryknoll Seminary he was awarded the degrees of Bachelor of Sacred Theology and Master of Religious Education. Following his ordination in June, 1962" Father Mullen was assigned to the Maryknoll Missions in Hawaii. A year later, he was reassigned to the Philippines where he served for the next nine years. Father Mullen returned to the United States in 1972 and has been at the Buffalo Development House .since then. While in the Philippines, Father Mullen illustrated the importance of a sense of humor to the missioner. Late one hot afternoon a little girl ran to the rectory in Lupon, Mindanao, to alert Father Mullen that a man was stealing a statue of the Sa~red Heart fr:om his church.

NEW YORK (NC)-The general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Korea predicted that the support shown by churches in Korea for a jaiCed Presbyterian clergyman will lead to the clergyman's release. "This case has shown that church people can be united," said the general secretary, the Rev. Kim Kwan Suk, also a Presbyterian, at a press conference here. The jailed clergyman, the Rev.

'Floating Parish' Gets Mixed Reviews After Seven Years .

WASHINGTON (NC) - John XXIII Parish, the "floating parish" in Oklahoma City, Okla., that got extensive national publicity when it was, formed in 1966, received mixed grades on per'formance from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostol,ate (CARA) here. '. . " . . , Reporting on a study of the seven-year-old parish and a similar parish founded in Tulsa, Okla., six years ago, CARA concluded that: The members of the two experimental, non-territorial parishes were more deeply involved in social action and had de-veloped a closer sense of community among themselves than members of most geographical parishes do. The parishes were more open ecumenically than typical Catholic parishes, but their ecumen· ism went beyond official positions, as in the area of intercommunion, thus creating problems for the ,larget Catholic community. "Liturgically the parishes had trouble developing a form of celebration adequate to their own needs and still reflecting sound liturgical practice. Although they were founded on a theory of lay leadership, the history of the two parishes has shown a marked dependence of

Sees Frustration Within Church BIRMINGHAM (NC}-The National Conference _of Priests of England and Wales expressed its concern over the frustration it said is felt by "lay people, priests and Religious 'who see themselves as in some way alienated from the Church's life and mission." At its fourth annual meeting, held here Sept. 3-7, the conference called for "a change of vision and a change of practice," at the "parish level especially, since that is where the church exists most clearly for Christian and non-believer alike."

each community on the leadership style of its priests. Religious education for the children in both parishes has had a spotty history. Both communities have had financial difficulties from the beginning. "In neither instance was the priest:athniriistratcir 'able to rely on the congregatJon for his total'fiminciat' support," said the CARA report. Chief Concerns John XXIII Parish was begun in 1966 when Bishop Victor Reed of Oklahoma City-Tulsa approved the request of a number of Oklahoma City Catholics who wanted an experimental parish without territorial boundaries. Among their chief concerns were the development of a deeper Christian community, better celebrations of the liturgy, ecumenism, and a stronger application of the Church's social principles. Less than a year later Bishop Reed allowed Catholics in Tulsa to form a similar parish, the Community of the Living Christ. Since neither parish had undergone an independent evaluation in recent years, last year Bishop John R. Quinn, Bishop Reed's successor, c6mmissioned CARA to coordinate a study of the two parishes. Shortly afterwards the diocese was split into the archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the diocese of Tulsa, and Bishop Bernard J. Ganter, th~ new bishop of Tulsa, joined Archbishop Quinn in sponsoring the study. The study was supervised and coordinated by Paulist Father Robert Moran, a CARA researcher.

K of C Sued ,For Libel FORT LAUDERDALE (NC)-A $1.3 milrion libel suit has been filed against the Knights of Columbus by the American Euthanasia Foundation, Inc. (AEF), which daims the K of C "directed libelous and slanderous statements to the press, including an international wire service, in -an effort to damage the foundation's legislative process." The AEF suit contends that its executive director, Vincent F.

A copy of the letter was sent to United Press International in Miami, according to the suit. The letter was written by Edward J. O'Shea in response to a Times interview wil:1h SulliV'an. O'Shea, Council 5869, and the National Association of the Knights of Columbus were named as defendants in the c·ase. The 'interview concerned the work of the AEF and its efforts in beha.lf of a proposed "Death With Dignity" bill in the last Florida legislative session. Sullivan was described in an AEF press release as a supporter of the "Cal:1holic Church for many years (and) as a special consultant on public relations for the Archdiocese of New York." O'Shea's letter severely criticized Sullivan for his support of eUl:1himasia and implied that Su1livan was not following the .tea<:hings,of; the Catholic Church.

Catechetical Thrust

MILWAUKEE (NC)-The Milwaukee Priests Senate voted 26-1 to ask communities in the Milwaukee area to take "decisive action" against street crime. The resolution cited the need for more patrolmen, and it encouraged all Catholic groups to work for. safer streets and neigh· , borhoods. Father Donald Weber said that communities in the archdiocese could receive more than $3 million in federal funds to fight street crime, but that police must request the money. Several priests spoke of the problems of their parishioners. Father Michael Croseby, who introduced the measure, said that many elderly persons in his parish had been mugged, raped and robbed. Father Weber said that elderly persons frequently do not come to church meetings because of their fears of street crime.

The Fall of the year .is associated Inot only with the return of students to the classroom but with the beginning of catechetical programs in parishes throughout the Diocese, . and, indeed, all over the nation and the ~orld. It is not that the Church's catechetical program ever ceases.

'The government's' fifth fiveyear plan ,to .. start from next April inte~ds to help 10 miilion children with supplementary nutrition programs.' This falls far short of the number needing help. However, the stagnant state of India's economy puts a prior:ity on investment in the core sector-steel, oil, fertilizers, and power-at the cost of health and education. The government and its civil administration cannot cope with the child-feding problem. It needs the help of private agencies, which are chiefly Christian and foreign.

Church'es Want U.S. Aid Tied To Human Rights in Brazil Claiming 'that Manoel da Conceizao .has not been killed ·"thanks to thousands of protest letters sent to Brazilian embassies around the world," Mr. Wipfler pointed out more recent cases of persecution. One involves a French missionary, Father Francisco Jentel, sentenced to 10 years in prison "for taking the side of poor peasants in Goias," he said. The other involves Bishop Pedro Casaldaliga of Sao Felix; "arrested with his aides in his own home for defending Father Jentel," he added. A third case, he continue'd, deals with the July arrest of two lay helpers of Archbishop Helder Camara of Olinda and Recife, Benedito Jbse Pereira and An-. tonio Vieira dos Santos. Authorities refuse to say where they are now, Mr. Wipfler said. Father Hehir said .the USCC Peace and Justice Division is supporting "concern for human rights and the defense of religious freedom."

U. S. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) for many years has been giving a daily meal of proteinenriched food to 678,000 children as well as to pregnant mothers. In addition, CRS last year undertook to feed nearly 2.5 million persons on India's drought-hit west coast. The· value of the aid given by CRS last y'ear was over $43 million. The World Council of Churches, Scandinavian, Swiss, British, Canadian, and Australian relief agencies also help the government in emergency and regular feeding programs.

,'Priests Senates Support Boycott In Chicago priests looked to their archbishop,' and Newark, N.J. priests called upon the people to support striking workers . and the boycott of products of the Farah company in El Paso, Texas. Farah, which makes men's clothing and schooi uniforms, has been struck by its employes for more than 16 months. The employes, mostly Mexican-Americans, have been seeking coHective bargaining rights. The Priests' Senate of the Chicago archdiocese voted 92 to 1 . with 2 abstentions a resolution calling upon Cardinal John Cody to respond to the needs and the pleas of striking wOl'kers. The priests asked the cardinal to support the Farah workers "in their rightful efforts to organize and bargain collectively" and to endorse the boycott of Farah products. At Kearney, N.J., the Senate of Priests of the Newark archdiocese has asked tbe people and institutions of the archdiocese to support the hoycott. A resolution proposing the boycott was adopted unanimously at the senate's first fall meeting in Kearney after being presented by its newly organized Justice and Peace Committee.

The models were reed thin and of course looked great' in his' clothes; but while one couldn't help but absolutely "hate" ·them for being that thin,' one had to admire the will power it must take to stay that way. Quite a few ensembles were shown and also a style of coat that we used to call princess, nipped in waist, longer length, and all. These were done in neutral shades, such as grey and navy, and while I doubt if many of us will be able to afford a Brooks' model, the silhouette is

Communion in Han d Disapproved in Poll . HUNTINGTON (NC) - Com. munion -in the hand has been given a vole of disapproval, according to a poll in Our Sunday Visitor, a national Catholic newspaper published here. Eighty per' cent of 10,000 re-" spondents voted against the new practice of receiving Communion in the hand, which is pennitted in 15 countries, including Can: ada. .One surprising result of the poll was that a larger percentage of the under 25 age group preferred the traditional way than did those between ages 26 and 45.

A more complete analysis will be' published by Our Sunday Visitor 'in Octobe~, . ..

For those who are still wondering what "discalced" means, "A Catholic Dictionary" defines the word as: "An epithet, 'barefooted," applied to certain religious orders and congregations which are distinguished by the wearing of sandals."

Condlelight Ball To Be Oct. 27

There is a good deal of evidence that we can. The famous Gallup poll that was done for "Newsweek" magazine, contrary to the way "Newsweek" interpreted the poll, revealed some facts that s~ow great pro-Catholic sentiment. Of the Catholic parents surveyed, 49 per cent sai~ they would be willing to give more to lteep Catholic schools going. Even more startling, orie-third of the CathQlic parents whose chil dren attend public schools indicated they would be wiling to contribute more to keep parochial schools going. Tax Saving Part of the reason for this may be that people realize if the Catholic schools close their school taxes wi1l go up, and they

Pope's Nieces Visit Spokane 路SPOKANE (NC)-Italians, visiting the United States would probably say that one of the 'most frequently asked questions is "Have you ever seen the Pope in person?" There aren't many people who can truthfully answer: "Sure, he's been at our house for dinner lots of times." Yet, that's the answer two at-路 tractive young Milan, Italy, natives who were visiting hererecently could give you. Francesca and Marta Crosti are grandnieces of Pope Paul VI. But they are not quick to volunteer that information, not because they don't love their uncle or aren't proud of him, but because "we aren't really any different from anyone else, and most people expect us to be." The girls'Yl'other is the daughter of on,e" of Pope Paul's two brothers. ' During tl!e time Pc;>pe Paul was archbishop of Milan, the Crosti family spent much time with him.

New Abbot Elected, NEWARK (NC) - Benedictine Father Melvin J. Valvano, 34, was elected the second abbot of Newark Abbey here, succeeding Abbot Ambrose J. Clark, who resigned after five years for reasons of health. The new abbot had been serving as prior of the Benedictine monastery at the time of his election.

That concept of taxes going up can also be used, I believe, to raise money from businesses, and not .only those owned by Catholics. Mr: Gallup says his polls show a great deal of pro-Catholic sentiment among non-Catholics. Among some Protestants, he says, the Catholic Church and its schools are viewed today as a "refuge in the storm" where meaning and order in one's exis- , tence <;an be found. Another interesting set of fact-s appears in a study 'done in 1971 by Wi1liam E. Brown of Milwaukee. He gathered and tabulate'd a wealth of statistics in terms of population, school enrollment, school costs, Catholic's income from wages, contribu' tions, etc. The study concludes: "Despite increasing school costs - even greater than increasing public school costs-we will be able to finance all of the Church's needs as easily in the future as we did in the past and as 'we can dp tOday." ' So I have to believe the money is there and that people are willing to contribute it. All that is needed is a commitment on the part of our bishops to lead us in a drive to raise funds for Catholic education. ,From the tone of the pastoral letter issued by the bishops of the United States in response, to, the Supreme Court decisions I believe that they now wi1l start an all-out drive in this direction and we will be enormously successful. Based on Justice Eventually, I believe, the use of tax money to fund non-public schools will be accepted by the people of the United States, based on justice. In the meantime, however, instead of destroying our school system by closing schools to prove we need that money, I 'think we will be enjoying a new vitality in Catholic education. One more reason' for this thinking is the fact that the birth rate among Catholics is substantially lower than a generation ago. There wi1l be little or no need for building new schools during the immediate years ahead. The money that is raised for Catholic education in the next few years can therefore be devoted to improving the operation of existing schools, rather than to construction as has been the 'case in the past. So I sincerely do believe we are on the verge of a period when every Catholic parent who , earnestly desires a Catholic education for his child will find it physically and financially. available. ' The recent Supreme Court decisions that may have at first looked like a disaster, may actually herald a golden age in Catholic education!

Conference to Include Religious Priests BIRMINGHAM (NC)":"'-The National Conference of Priests of England and Wales voted by a substantial majority at its fourth annual meeting to enlarge its scope gradually to include priests belonging to Religious orders. The conference was originally set up in the summer of 1970 as a conference of diocesan priests. The 5,000-odd diocesan priests elect 76 representaUves on a diocesan and age-group basis, while the conference's standing committee and representatives of special groups such as military chaplains, university chaplains, and seminary staff bring the number up to 96. , The conference voted to extend its constituency, to include Religious priests engaged in pastoral work or hoOlding some office or function under a diocesan bishop's jurisdic,tion. That will still exclude the members of Benedictine and Cisterican monasteries, as weH as Religious orders engaged. in teaching, but it is recognized by the conference as a first practical step toward including all the country's 2,500 priests in Religious orders and congregations.

HIGUEY- (NC) - Dominican Republic censors cancelled a Catholic-sponsored radio program defending farm workers from growers. Father Juan Torres' program "What Can You Do?" was banned from Radio Sol and radio Cayacos. While harassed before by large landholders and once arrested as "subversive," Father Torres was able to broadcast his program for two years. The area has been plagued by land occupations by. landless farm workers, harvest problems and ejections of farm workers from plots they tilled on weekends. The radio program often reported cases it considered unjust to the workers. Bishop Juan F. Pepen of Altagracia said here "censors should be free from influence and pressures by local growers and others." He asked that the ban be investigated.

Expel Minister From France

Ass'ert Chilean .Army' Gave In To Oligarchs MEXICO CITY (NC) - Mexico's President Luis Echeverria and Bishop Sergio Mendez Arceo of Cuernavaca voiced condolenceS' to the Chilean people on the overhthrowing and death of their Marxist President Salvador Allende. Allende was ousted by a military coup ·Sept. 11. The military announced that he had committed suicide during the coup. "Upon learning <if the death of my friend President Allende," said Bishop Mendez, "I made the bells of the cathedral toll for him, along with the bells of other churches." "I join the sorrow of the hopeful poor in Chile and indeed trust t~at they will continue their struggle for lil5eration," the bishop added. President Echeverria said his government "deeply laments the events in Chile against the constitutional regime.,. and offers its hopes that Chileans will bind again their path through peace and democracy." President Echeverria ordered the Mexican embassy in Santiago, Chile's capital, to grant political asylum to Allende's family and to any other Chileans seeking help. New Era The Mexican Bishops' Conference ordered special prayers for the return of peace to Chile. Msgr, Rafael Vazquez Corona, the conference secretary,.--said events in Chile "could lead to a new era of internal struggle and . instability, thus contributing to a. further drift" from Christian tenets. Cardinal Miguel Dario Miranda of Mexieo City was the first to order prayers "for the Chilean people in view of, their grave sl!f- ' rerings." . At the Vatican, L'Osservatore Romano published a brief frontpage comment, after an account of the coup in Santiago, saying: "Everybody hopes that Chile's political crisis, which unhappily has turned into tragedy with a bloody burden of victims, will soon be able to see the beginning of normal conditions of demo c cratic life together."

GENEVA (NC) - French au-. thorities want immigrant laborer~ to agree "to 12 hours' work a day, to live in shanty towns and to say nothing," said a Swiss Protestant minister expelled from France after six years spent working among immigrant laborers in Marseilles. The Rev, Berthier Perregaux, a pastor of the Swiss Reformed Church, told a press conference at the World Council of Churches' ,headquarters here that the situation of immigrants in France is becoming more and more precarious. Although extreme right-wing elements opposing the presence of North African workers "have no popular support, he said, it is evident that the population as a wbole "does not like Arabs, does not understand them, and has difficulty in tolerating them," Pastor..Perregaux was arrested in Marseilles, flown across the Franco-Swiss 'border and handed over to Swiss police. He said he had compromised himself iIi the e'T~s of Fre'1ch authorities by vigorously advocating better conditions for North African workers, particularly those who had not yet been given regular working permits. He denied that he had played politics. Pastor Perregaux had been head of the Marseilles office of Cimade, a predominantly Protestant ecumenieal aid organization.

Study Attraction Of Socialism For Catholics ROME (NC)-More than 200 Italian Catbolics will convene in Bologna tomorrow to study the phenomenon of a "growing number" of Italian Catholics who arc active Communists or socialists. A spokesman for the convention said at a press conference here that 100 priests and as many lay people have indicated they will participate. Invitations have been sent to many Italian bishops. including the president of. the Italian Episcopal Conference, Cardinal Antonio Roma of Bologna. Politicians of the Italian Communist and Socialist parties as well as delegates from prominent Italian trade unions have also been invited. The convention will emphasize to leacjers of both the Church and political parties of the left that a significant number of Italians profess allegiance to the Church and to socialism or communism. The convention is expected to state that the Church structure should support no political regime. Individual Christians, on the other hand, must find their unity in professing freedom for men everywhere. Urges Careful Judgment Pope Paul cautioned against the attraction of socialism in his apostolic letter, Octogesima Adveniens, of May 14, 1971, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Pope Leo XIlI's encyclical Rerum Novarum. "Some 'Christians," Pope Paul' said, "are today attracted by socialist currents and their various developments . . . (but) careful' judgment is called for. "Too often Christians attracted by socialism tend to idealize it in terms which are very general: A wi1l for justice, solidai'ity and equality." The Pope warned that socialist movements are hampered by the very ideologies from which they spring, ideologies which do not allow the full expression of spirituality, thereby curbing the integral development of the individual.

State to Appeal Ruling on Smut TRENTON (NC)-A formal notice of an appeal has been filed with the U. S. Supreme Court in Washington by the New Jersey attorney general's office in an effort to upset a lower federal court ruling declaring the state's anti-obscenity laws to be unconstitutional. A three-judge federal panel declared the law unconstitutional last July because it did not provide a clear definition of obscenity. The same panel had thrown out the law earlier in the year because it did not contain the qualifying phrase "utterly without redeeming social value."

Senate Votes to Stop Fetal Research

WASHINGTON (NC)-By an overwhelming vote of 88-0 the U. S. Senate approved a sweeping measu're banning experiments on live fetuses before or after abortion. The ban would cover research funded by the U. S. Department. of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). 'The vote came on an amendment proposed by Sen. James L. Buckley (R., N. Y.) for inClusion in the Senate version of the Public Health Services Act of 1974. The Senate also approved an amendment by Sen. J, Glenn Beall Jr. (R. Md.) to prohibit psychosurgery, or behavior modification by brain surgery. After passing the amendments, the Senate passed the whole bill 81-6, with 13 Senators not vot.ing. Msgr. James T.

In a letter to federation president Ajantha Cooray, the carcfinal referred to an official circular of the student federation signed by the president "in which it is openly stated that the existing organization is not based in any way on the'Catholic Church or its teachings, and where you yourself declare your organization to be outside the the Church." Cardinal Cooray said: "I have no alternative but to conclude that the Catholic Students' FE;deration has ceased to exist." The circular referred to by the cardinal had contained an open attack on the Church.

With no lunches the children cannot complain about what was missing, what spilled, or what someone else's mother puts in a lunch. .

Concern for Ne~dy Shared By Synod, U.S. Congress Two years ago, at the Synod, the Bishops defined the pattern of aid and support they wished to see established between wealthy churches and parishes on the one hand and churches in developing lands on the other. The language describing this process is perhaps a shade obscure. It or South Korea or Yugoslaviathat if aid investment must, they say, "encourage -suggests goes to intensive farming, enautonomy and responsibility courages .land reform, build up

on the part of the beneficiaries in the determination of criteria and the choice of concrete programmes and their realization."

By BARBARA WARD. ~W1:~

What this means is that all aid given by the wealthy churches to their fellow Christians in the developing world must be on the basis of tr.ue partnership, local participation and the realization of local plans and needs. Today, by what could appear a most interesting coincidence, the United States Congress is making a move in the same direction. But it is not a concidence. It is part of .the world's growing recognition that developed nations cannot stride about telling others what to do. •

"~I

Hopeful Change There will be no development unless the local people plan it and work for it. The Bishops say so. Congressmen say so. The idea is beginning to spread and for Christians it is a critical and hopeful change of direction. The center of the new American intiative is the proposal put forward by over half the members of the House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee, 'to reform the FOJeign Assistance Act of 1961 and set up in its place the "Mutual Development and Cooperation Act of 1973." The key element in the new approach is that American assistance, in skills, commodities and machines, should be directed to real local problems and assist in overcoming the true obstacles to development as they are perceived by the local people themselves. In the past, capital grants have often gone to big industrial projects, demanding expensive services in power and transport and, because they were based on labor-saving Western technology, providing very· few jobs on the local scene. In the last two or three years, more and more evidence has come up to show, es'pecially in Latin America, that this kind of development tends to concentrate modernization in bloated cities ringed round with squatter settlements, actually to increase the percentage of unemployment an~ to skew incomes still further by enriching the already rich and reducing the poorest peoples' share of what, at least in the statistics, is a rising national product. Equally, evidence from a few countries-Taiwan, for instance,

small scale savings, establishes .cooperatives, regional market centers, small scale labor-intensive and artisan industry and, above all depends upon the full participation of the people themselves, then not only is development more widespread, rewards less skewed, the balance between town and country better kept, but even economic growth itself is more successful. .The prescription of going to' the people, involving and rewarding them turns out to be not only socially but materially the better way.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Sept. 20, 1973

Proposed Law Affects Appeals Through Mails WASHINGTON (NC)-A U. S. congressman has announced he will present a bill that would require full disclosure of the receipt and disposition of funds collected by charitable appeals through the mails. U. S.Rep. Lionel Van Deerlin (D., Calif.) disclosed his bill at the close of the annual convention of the National Catholic Development Conference (NCDC), the largest of professional fundraisers organization in' the nation.

Addressing the more than 350 professional fund raisers at the convention, Van Deerlin described his bill as a self-regulatory one which poses no obstacles to professional fund rais~ ers who already adhere to a code of ethics. George T. HOlloway, NCDC executive director, said that he was in complete agreement with the Van Deerlin bill, adding that most charitable agencies in the Catholic Church already have codes of ethics for collecting funds. .

Van Deerlin said he hop~d to introduce the bill within 'several weeks. 'The bill provides for "disclosure of certain information by certain persons making charitable solicitations by use of instrumentabilities of interstate commerce." According to the bill, requests for this information can be made by "any recipient of such solicitation who, in writing, requests information upon request of the recipient within 180 days after the solicitation is received,"

Nutrition, Health This is the weight behind the proposed new Act before 'Congress. American aid will go to agriculture, to education and training, to health clinics and family centers, to stimulating self-help and saving, The nutrition which is essential for full human efficiency will have a high priority, particularly the essential input of protein in babyhood. Together with agriculture and rural development, it will receive $300 million a year in 1974 and 1975. About $150 million is proposed each year for health needs and programs for responsible parenthood. Education and training are earmarked to receive $115 million, essential projects in industry and infrastructure $93 million, a balance of $60 million is left to assist private and international development agencies. These sums will be provided at low subsidized rates of interest and the only string is that the money be spent in the United States, where, it is estimated, it could help to create 80,000 more jobs a year in export industries working for the neediest countries. . . This clearly is the sort of initiative which Christian citizens should support. It is firmly based on the practical experience of development in tJ;e last two decades. It goes straight to the· key problems - agricultural stagnation, the lack of opportunity, skills and income for the mass of the people, poor diets, poor health, overburdened mothers, unchangeable population growth. At the sam~ time, it scrupulou,s- . ly respects local plans and local sensibilities. It is an exercise in genuine cooperation and it plans to bring in private agencies-including churches and missionary bodies-who are close to the people and know how to work with them. . From Rome to Washington may seem a long way. But the Synod and the Congress could be talking the same language.

Recognition It needs a very pure intention,

as well as great spiritual discernment, always to recognize the divine voice. -R. H. Benson

the world as light to overcome the darkness (In 1: 4-5, 9), and all men are called upon to choose between light 'and darkness (In 3:19-21). Father Brown explains that "Jesus is the truth (In 14:6), and after his death the struggle to overcome the evil force is carried on by the Spirit of Truth (or the Holy Spirit-Jn 14:17,26). St. John: Scrolls Father Brown also feels there might be a relationship between the water and the giving of the Spirit in John 3:5 and 7:37-38 and that found in the Qumran literature. However, his conclusion is that the' parallels found between John and Qumran "are not close enough to suggest a direct literary dependence," but do suggest "a Johannine familiarity with the type of thought exhibited in the (Qumran), scrolls." There are also some interest~ ing points of contact between another John, John the Baptist, and Qumran. The B'aptist is a man qualified to be a priest in the Temple of Jerusalem, who goes to the desert to announce and await the messianic coming. He is celibate. He has many adversaries within Judaism. His principal .area of activity near' the mouth of the Jordan was within sight of Qumran, making contact not only likely but probable. Tum to Page Seventeen

Putnam Gives Readable Account of Tsar Peter

RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S. KENNEDY

others were the real rulers. His formal education was skimpy. He was interested in. manual work, with the turning lathe, for example, and with forge and anvil. His curiosity about how things operate led him, on his own, to study mathematics and physics. He thus began a process of selfeducation which continued as long as he lived. Unlike his ancestors, he mixed with common folk, wore rough c.Iothing, served in the ranks of a military company which he had organized. His dress was plain, his manner crude throughout his life. When, in 1689, he took over the active rule of Russia, western ways were anathema. But, inevitably, there were some Europeans resident in Moscow, confined to a district of their own. Peter was often to be found among them, and from them he got a fascinating look at the' outside world. Schooled in Europe This induced him to send 60 sons of noblemen to Italy, HoIland, and England to study. Eventually he himself followed them. In 1697 he set out for an extended stay abroad. He spent long periods in Amsterdam, London and elsewhere in Engl!lnd, with shorter stays in Dresden and Vienna. . In Amsterdam, he worked under a master shipwright, so as to acquire the art of shipbuilding. He also took lessons from a dentist and attende,~ surgical lectures. He learned the use of the microscope, cobbled a pair of shoes, studied etching. In England he put in more time with shipwrights, and gave his attention to a variety of skills from watchmaking to the construction of coffins. His curiosity was insatiable, and he exerted himself to the utmost to acquire knowledge and techniques. Begins Reforms When finally he was ready to return to Russia, he brought back with him no fewer than 700 men proficient in various lines. And immediately upon his arrival, he began his reforms by compelling the nobles and the military commanders to shave their beards and adopt western dress. These decrees were regarded as a scandalOUS betrayal of Holy

He had resolved to fight the Turks in the south and the Swedes in the north, in order to expand Russian territory and gain access to both. the Black Sea and the Baltic. But Russia was militarily weak, had only obsolete and inadequate weapons, and lacked a navy.

Says Theology H:as Limits. In Solving Human: Problems I remember a prominent psychiatri,st who told me, with obvious confusion, of a conference composed of theologians and biologists to discuss some of the; ethical problems of recent biological developments. The I conference quickly broke down into two groups -one arguing that was anything :about God, theY'~e got to do so~ething.

By REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY

It would be natural enough to, assume that the theologians took the former p 0 sit ion and , the biologists the latter. In fact, the exact opposite was the case: the biologists saw man as different; the theologian saw him the same. My friend admitted that he -was surprised, though as a' specialist in abnormal behavior he is never surprised at anything. But he said the biologists were astonished. They had been prepared to argue on the grounds of their biology that man was essentially different from other animals. The theologians were asserting on the grounds of their theology that the biologists were wrong. The battle had' been wagged countless times before, of course;- but this time the contestants were playing for exact- Iy the opposite teams than those they had previously played on. ;,f.w,

But I think I know how the biologists felt. As a sociologist, I never cease to be amazed by how theologians, professional and amateur, carefully use, our categories without caring whether they are using them precisely, and confidently assert on the basis of what they claim is soci" ology, proposition about which most sociologists have grave reservations. I gather that economists, politicians, lawyers, city planners, and political scientists all have had the same reaction. They spend a lifetime learning and practicing their professional skills and bright young theologians arrive on the scene with the claim that their theology provides them with quick and easy answers to what other professionals think are complicated and difficult questions. Theology -used to claim to be the queen of the scientists. Some of the new theologians of the left may not make quite that claim. But they act as if the claim was valid. . Mystical Claims I suppose this kind of development is inevitable. When theologians become convinced either that they can say nothing about God or that no one wants to hear

and ecol6gy. It would take time, to acqui~e the skills of these various disciplines and even more timE'! to acquire the skills of of all of ~hem. If you're a "con~ cerned" young theologian who wants to be relevant, you simply don't have enough time. So you pontificate; and if other professionals tell you that you don't know wh~t you're talking about, you dismiss them as "conservative." :

Lay ministers of· the Eucharist receive no new "power," are not ordained. They do not consecrate the Blessed Sacrament; they merely communicate it to others when the need exists. Through their Christian baptism and ini-' tiation into the Church they become sacred and holy, suitable persons for this sublime task. It was only around the ninth century thai distribution of the Eucharist became normally the "priest's job." Throughout the first centuries lay persons frequently; perhaps ordinarilly fulfilled that function. As practical consequences of this doctrinal truth about a Christian's fundamental dignity, the Bishops' Committee sees no need for the local Ibishop to prefer men over women when designating such special ministers or to insist that they. wear a priest or deacon's liturgical garb. Coat and tie for a lay man, to illustrate, would be appropriate dress.

U.S., Canadian Bishops Discuss Synod Plans

THE ANCHORThurs., Sept. 20, 1973

WASHINGTON (NC) - Several officials of the U.S. and Canadian Catholic bishops' conferences discussed their conference's plans for the 1974 international synod of bishops, the Holy Year and the United Nations Population Year at a recent informal meeting. At the meeting in St. Paul, Minn., Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia, president of the U.S. National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and chairman of an ad hoc committee charged with developing a plan for preparing a conference response to' the synod theme, reported on steps taken. Personal Reflections Cardinal Krol said he had asked each of the U.S. bishops to submit personal pastoral reflection on the synod topic, "Evangelization," and encouraged them to consult individuals and groups who might be able to make a contribution to the topic. National organizations have also heen invited to submit their ob, servations and recommendations. ~.

Urges Universal Public Authority . CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) International law in modern times remains' "vulnerable and precarious," according to Pope Paul VI because it lacks a universal public authority "like the authority which guarantees the common good of every' state." The Pope said that is why his predecessor, Pope John XXIII, "called for the constitution of a public authority of universal competence" in his 1963 encyclical on peace, Pacem in Terris. Pope Paul said that the creation of such a universal public authority is "a delicate undertaking which seems to exceed today's immediate perspectives and concrete possibilities." Yet it remains "an ideal to be pursued," the Pope added. He was speaking to a group of about 160 participants in a meeting of the Institute of International Law for the centenary of its foundation. "We are all thinking of all you have done for the protection of the common patrimony of the seas, and today. of space," the Pope said. "You have a hard job. On the one hand, you must anchor yourselves to the basic rights of persons and to the common good that guarantees those rights, to that ideal of justice which responds to the juridic conscience of a civilized world. For us, that ideal rests on a natural law inspirited by the creator .. ."

Nor will it affect the diocesan papers in the Register chain, which will continue to be printed by AUOhurch Press in Fort Worth. Under the new arrangement the Register will be printed by the Our Sunday Visitor presses here, but Our Sunday Visitor will not be involved in the Register's editorial operation.

Urge Cathol i'e! Study Pastoral

Minnesota Gives $15.2 Million In Tax Credits

NEWARK (NC) - The bishops of New Jersey have issued a statement calling on all Catholics to study the U.S. bishops' pastora'! message, "To Teach as Jesus Did." The bishops of the five dioceses in the Newark province reaffirmed their "wholehearted support" of the message and asked that workshops and study programs on the pastoral be arranged on the diocesan and parochial levels. At the same time, the bishops called attention of all involved in Catholic religious education to the statement, "Basic Teachings for Catholic Religious Education," prepared by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in consultation with the Vatican. "This text," said the New Jersey bishops, "makes clear what must be stressed in the religious formation of Catholics of all ages. "The pastoral letter 'To Teach as Jesus Did' affirms the prominent position which Catholic education holds in the mission of the Church," the bishops said. "It stresses the responsibHties of prests, Religious and laity to provide sound religious education and at the same time emphasize the urgent responsibility of parents to insure the faith of their children by constant exposure to the teachings of Christ." The bishops directed that the Basic Teachings document "be central in all Catholic religious instruction, never be overlooked or minimized and be givenadequate and frequent emphasis. "Textbooks used in Catholic religious 'education programs must reflect the authentic teachings of the Church as contained in this document."

ST. PAUL (NC) - Minnesota families received tax credits totaling more than $15.2 million during the first two years' oper'ation of the state's 1971 Income Tax Credit law. The two-year total is almost $6 million below original estimates. On 1972/ state income tax returns, 40,453 families received nonpublic school tax credits averaging $165 for a total of $7,394,000.00 in benefits. State officials had anticipated tax credits of $9 million during 1971 and $12 million during 1972. As expected, the average tax credit went up the second year, hut neither state nor Catholic school officials said they had a ready explanation for the decline of 10 per cent in claims. Robert Burke, director of research for the Minnesota Catholic Confer· ence, was not surprised. that first-year totals were behind projections. He listed three reasons:. decreases in school enrollment, unfamiliarity with the law and' smaller than anticipated claims. While he anticipated fewer claims in 1972, Burke said that the size of the drop-'off has him puzzled. . Burke said that fewel' filings -caused by continued enrollment d!lclines-should ha.ve been partially offset by claims ~rom those who did not file the first year because of unfamiliarity or uncertainty about the law. The tax credit law is currently on appeal before the Minesota Supreme Court, which is expect-. cd to rule on its constitutionality . late this year or in early 1974. - During the first two years of the - law, maximum tax credits were $50, $100 and $140 for kindergarten, elementary and secondary school students, respectively. . But for the current year, a sliding scale tied to the percentage of state foundation aid to public schools goes into effec\. The scale, in effect, means the. tax credit limit will go up or down in relation to increases or decreases in the foundation aid figure, which will be released later this year.
