Parishes Set Programs For CCD In all parishes throughout the Diocese, a great flurry of activity is currently taking place as pastors, assistants, religious and. lay coordinators embark on their programs for the formation of mature Christians through their endeavors in the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine programs.

For some, it is the continuation of last year's program with few changes in personnel and in others it is a' totally new approach with in-servive teacher training programs taking precedent.

Ever mindful of their obligation to impart the message of Christ to all entrusted to their care, pastors are providing the best possible materials and personnel to fulfill that goal.

With the closing of four parochial schools in the Diocese the increase of the number of students involved was evident in both Fall River and New Bedford.

We have now approximlltely 47,150 schOOl age children under instruction in the· DIocese with well over 2000 catechists, both religious and lay, working to

Diocese Supports Project Equality In an effort to maintain 'and promote employment practices fair to minority group members, the Fall River Diocese has joined the sees of Boston, Worcester and Springfield in participation in Project Equality of Massachusetts.

In a two-pronged program, .the project seeks to improve hiring and promotion practices on the part of employers and to encourage religious organizations to purchase materials and services only from cooperating firms.

"This program, an ecumenical venture involving all of the major religious groups. in the state, puts the Church's material resources to work in the fight against discriminatory employment practices," notes Rev. John F. Hogan, appointed Diocesan coordinator of- Project Equality

by Bishop James L. Connolly.

Diocesan institutions and parishes have been asked to sign a "Religious Institution's Commitment," pledging specific support of Project Equality.

Requested actions i.nclude maintenance of "employment

In addition to the instructions taking place at the elementary and the secondary levels, there is a new thrust taking place at the adult level.

Along with Parish In-service training courses, the Dioce$an Office is currently arranging series of courses to take place in all areas of the Diocese beginning the week of October 12th.

Mother Pierre Marie Mourned. by Area Most Rev. James L.' Connolly, Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River, lauded the late Mother Pierre Marie, O.P., president of the Corporation of St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, for a life that influenced not only her own community of sisters but the

area served by the only Catholic. hospital in the diocese.

Speaking at a Pontifical Concelebrated Mass offered in St. Anne's Church, Fall River at 10 on Tuesday morning, Bishop Connolly stressed the manner in which the basic goodness of Mother Pierre Marie was so extraordinary that it verily emanated to influence the lives of every individual with whom she came in contact.

Her love for her own community was tremendous but not 'so parochial that it hindered her love of people everywhere as was evidenced by her sustaining the missionjin Baghdad and the permission granted to sisters to assist in the work in Brownsville.

Bishop Connolly stated that "if Archbishop Medeiros was able to be present he would have personally thanked Mother Pierre Marie for the spirit of sacrifice that she exemplified by allowing three members of her order to serve in the Texas diocese."

Buyer's Guide firms, explain Project Equality officials, have pledged to end discriminatory employment practices. Use of the guide, they say, provides "a workable formula for spending religious money in a moraA manner."

Bishop Has High Praise For Dedicated Laity In a pastoral letter sent to all parishies and missions of the Diocese of Fall River, Bishop James L. Connolly had high praise for the dedicates laity in the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and he proclaimed Sunday, Sept. 27, as CCD Day. The text of the letter follows: "Let us proclaim the Mystery of Faith!"

Beloved in Christ: In September, we salute the hundreds of men and women, young and old, who support our Religious Education programme in all 'parishes and missions of the Fall River Diocese. Their spirit of dedication to prepare our youth, in mind and heart, to give the best of themselves in service to God and Society, carries its own reward, indeed. But we owe them an expression of gratitude.

Part of the trouble in our world is that the spirit of thanks has grown weak. Too much is taken for granted. Too many are prone to face the future, as though they were all alone. It has become a custom, of experts particularly, to emphasize the dark side of life. They write and talk of sordid things. They are prophets of gloom, blind in their inability to recQgnize and count blessings that abound all about them.

Where real faith functions there can be no frustration. We know in whom we have believed.

"Christ has died. Christ is risen.

Christ will come again," No more important nor more veri-

fied fact do we have than this.

The very continuation of Christianity, over nineteen hundred years, despite defections,-infidelities, from the ranks, - and harassment from without, makes a miracle before our eyes. Saint Augustine commented on such a fact in the Fifth Century to men asking why there were no more miracles. If he was right in his judgment, and he was, - what shall we say of a Church still growing, with visible proof that the Charity of Christ still abounds, providing care for the

poor, the sick, homeless, orphan, aged, and mal-instructed, out of her rich resources in personnel; out of the material means provided in annual Charity-Appeal.

We are deeply thankful for all works of concern, but especially in this confused time, to those giving of time and talent to prepare the youth of today to make a better tomorrow. Wishing will not make it so. Sitting around complaining, and criticizing gets one nowhere. We all need to make and keep contact, and Turn to Page Eleven

President Nixon to Visit Pope on European Tour WASHINGTON (NC) - President Nixon is scheduled to leave here Sunday for a fast-paced eight-day European tour that will take him to the Vatican for his second official visit with Pope Paul VI. Their initial meeting was in March, 1969.

The Vatican announced that Nixon will visit the Pope on Sept. 28. In Italy, Nixon will be the guest of President Giuseppe Saragat.

A U. S. embassy source in Rome said the President's visit to the Vatican will take place about 3 P.M. It is not yet known if the President will be accompanied by Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Nixon's special envoy to the Vatican who began his mission in July. Lodge was not scheduled

to return to Rome and the Vatican until November.

Although subject matter in the conversation between the Pope and the president was not disclosed, there are indications it will concern world problems, particularly the problem of peace.

There is also speculation that the Pope and Nixon will discuss the crisis in the Middle East and the war in Southeast Asia as well as such topics as common efforts to assist prisoners of war and means of combatting drug traffic.

These are the subjects previously discussed by the president's special representative to the Vatican, Henry Cabot Lodge, during his first three-week mission to the Vatican last July.

Say Bishops Broke Italian Penal. Code ROME (NC)-The Italian Divorce League has accused the bishops of Italy's Tucany region of violating a Church-State agreement and the nati.on's penal code by criticizing proposed divorce legislation while it is still pending.

The bishops responded by saying that they "know their obligation to observe the law of God and that of men. They know how to be Italian citizens and how to protest the same freedom which is enjoyed by the divorcists."

The bishops said they found it "astonishing" that the divorcists who have always rejected the Church-State agreement (the Vatican-Italy Concordat) and have defended freedom to criticize, are trying to "close the mouths" of the bishops by referring to the concordat.

There' are several separate seating areils, making ·it a difficl!1t place to speak, or at least be heard, in, one would. suppose, Newman's voice, I think I reremember reading, was not especially strong, but it had a silvery timbre.

The visitor wishes he could hear that. voice, see that figure, as he looks at the high wooden pulpit, oddly situated. Here the fluent, searching,' often prophetic discourses were delfvered to large, intent congregations.

Country Churches The unaffected beauty of the church and its evidences, on 'every hand, of direct connection, age after age, with English life, make the real poignancy of Newman's painful parting from friends and from the past which held his roots.

English country churches have figured in scores of nov~ls one has read, from those of' Trollope to those of Thirkell. And here there are, symbols of continuity laden with memorials recent and ancient: the tomb of a man knighted by Elizabeth I almost touched by a plaque commenlOrating a man of illustrious name who died in World War II. Walled Town Harold Nicoson and Victoria Sackville-We&t, husband and wife, now dead, were both of them writers, both of them g!lrdeners. She was brought up in Qne of the noblest and most celebrated of countryhouses, Knole, near Sevenoaks, in Kent., She wrote of it in Knole 'and the Sackvilles.

Nicolson's diaries and letters, published in three volumes over the last few years, have countless references to Sissinghurst' Castle, also in Kent, where they spent most of their married life.

Knole is approached by a narrow, serpentine road which coils and pitches through a thick woods and comes at last to the low hill on which the house grandly stands. Red deer graze on the 'grassy area fronting the house.

House is it? Or walled town, self-contained. and self -suffici~nt.

Documentary _evidence shows that the house has existed since at least the twelfth' century, being altered and expanded by one owner after another. , It was' acquired by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1456, and 'passed on to his successors.

Henry VIII visited it, liked it 'and summarily took ·it away from Archbishop Cranmer in 153K Incidentally, it was in: St. Mary's church, Oxford, that, a decade and a half later, Cranm~r stood, a prisoner, and listened to the sermon preached for his spiritual benefit,' before he ~as' marched out be burned at' the stake as a heretic, in the reign of Henry's Catholic daugh'ter, Mary T~doJ', ' Accumulation 'of 'Ages Henry's Protestant daughter.

Take Opposing' Stands on Vietnam War' Bishop, Priests Group State Positions , BUFFALO (NC) - Fifty-three 'priests here denounced the United States, participation' in the Vietnam,war just a week after Bishop James A. McNulty of Buffalo had taken an opposite stance.

The. priests' position was outlined in a statement titled "Call for New Approaches to Peace," published as an ad in a Buffalo daily newspaper. The. statement said U.S'.' participation in th~ Vietnam war "is wrong, 'unjusti: lied and unjustifiable."

The priests' signed statement was sponsored by the Priests A~· sociation of Buffalo, year-old organization which several times has been at 'odds on issues with Bishop McNulty.

The priests cited as a basis for their opposition to the U. S. role in the war' the Gospel of Christ, encyclicals by Pope Paul VI and Pope ,John XXIII and a

1968 pastoral by American bishops.

"We hold that American participation'iri the war in Vietnam is wrong, unjustified and unjustifiable. Fidelity to, conscience and love of country demand that we, as leaders in the Catholic, community, publicly deplore the American policy in Yietnam. As 1IIol'al leaders we will continue to teach this in our communities," the priests' statement said. ,Bishop McNulty's statement said while he and other bishops seek peace, they are', 'realistic enough "to know the hatred and greed that rankle in the ,hearts of the communists who have rejected God, who have repudiated their' agreements on human rights; have made captive helpless nations."

The bishop said Americans and their allies have gone to aid oppressed peoples "as the trust-

ees of their freedoms and the defenders of -their lives."

"Americans have gone to Southeast Asia, not as marauders but in the response to the cries for help from the victims of violence .and thievery of Red communists. Vietnam is in ··the pattern of the Soviet boast of world domination. So is the.

United States,", the bishop said.

Bishop McNulty charged communist "emissaries" from Hanoi and Havana have been active in stirring revolt on American campuses. He said communist dupes among the student body have 'desecrated the American flag and have held aloft the Viet Cong flag.

"This' is the flag of the Reds who are destroying American lives in Vietnam," he said.

He concluded: "This is a time for prayer, penance, vigilance and unity."

Sound Neasonillg The Pope said that today Christian doctrine "is dressed in diverse linguistic expressions, contained in short catechetical formulas, circulated in theological treatises, and interpreted by one or another philosophical system."

All this is permissible, he said, so long as the teaching Is "based on sound reasoning" and the Christian doctrine is "alithentic."

If it does not contain religious truth, "every effort to call others to hear the word of Christ would • be useless and dangerous," he said.

BAKER (NC)-Bishop Francis P. Leipzig, 75, of Baker, known throughout the country as "the firemen's bishop," observed his 50th anniversary in the priesthood and his 20th as a bishop here in' Oregon. .

Retired Cardinal James Francis McIntyre of Los Angeles presided at the Mass at which four archbishops and ten bishops assisted.

Early in his priesthood, Bishop Leipzig became interested in the work of fire fighters.

He is serving his 42nd year as chaplain of the Oregon Fire Chiefs' Association, is a member of other regional, national and· international groups of fire fighters. He is well known and popular among firemen in virtualiy every large city in this country.

CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) No matter what modern means are used to teach thristian doctrine, its basic truths should never be lost in the process of explaining it, Pope Paul VI told a general audience.

"The desire to multiply the means and forms of expression in Catholic religious teaching is subject to a fundamental law," the Pope said.

This law, he explained, is "that the integrity of doctrine must never be violated."

The Pope' said that faith is more important today than it ever was. It "is not a artifical guide, not an old-fashioned privilege, not a sterile or obscure science," he emphasized.

To discover why it is so difficult for modern man· to accept religion, the Pope said the problemmust not only be confronted by looking at "conditions in which society and individuals find themselves but also according to the method, the form, the language in which the Christian message is put forward."

BATON ROUGE (NC) -=The annual Louisiana Physicians Guild convention here adopted a resolution, condemning without reservation any situation which places American physicians in "immoral" roles of abortionists.

The guild reaffirmed the physician's dedication to the preservation of life-not its destruction.

"Abortion, euthanasia, genocide or other smiliar immoral acts, cannot be justified or condoned by a truly conscientious man of medicine," the resolution stated: The guild acknowledged there are "rare and extreme" instances where abortion is justified to . save a life, but added such decisions are made only after a consultation among three physicians.

"Abortion-on-demand is in direct contradiction to the revered tenets. of the Hippocratic oath and the Mosaic law," thl' resloution said.

Catholic Newspaper Has New Editor PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Father John P. Foley is the new editor of The Catholic Standard and Times, Philadelphia archdiocesan newspaper.

He succeeds Msgr. Francis X. Keul, who was appointed by Cardinal' John J. Krol of Philadelphia as pastor of St. Andrew's parish in the Drexel Hill section.

Msgr. Keul had been editor since 1967.

The Theologian '8 Role

f+lIJAf£NS l'1B "

E{JVAI.ITY EYEHYTHINQ

Theologians from aIr over the Catholic world have IN . been meeting in Belgium. These men are needed in the Church and fulfill a worthy role. They reas'on about revealed truth. They think about it, talk ~about it with others, . ....,...~ :;::;.--try to draw out all its implications and ramifications; try to rel'ate it to all 'other knowledge, human and divine. , In their- reasoning,- of course, they are often in new and strange territory. It is' not surprising that at times they go down wrong streets; end up in blind alleys. 'they are, in many ways, experimenting. And when they :test their conclusions against known truth they may find that they have' advanced our knowledge of the things of God -and this is good-or they may find that they have taken a wrong turn-and in- this case they must admit their mistake and back away and try again.

The theologians are not the shepherds" of the Church of God. That role belongs alone to the bishops by their sacramental consecration.

And so the bishops must listen to the theologians, must examine carefully all they' have to say, and then must make the decision whether this the()logizing of theirs agrees with revealed truth, is legitimately drawn from revealed truth, is safe for acceptance. .

The theologians may not exactly always like this r,ole of the bishops. But the bishops cannot abdicate their Godgiven role nor carr they delegate it to others.

1894, the former Anna M. Sabatie was professed as a Dominican Sister on Feb. 28, 1922.

Following her profession, she served in assignments in Marseille. and Veigne and in 1938 was appointed director of the hospital of Mortagne, Normandy.

For seven years during the critical pre-war' and war years of 1938-46, her work of charity during the Nazi occupation was so noted that the French government awarded her the "Chevalier de la Sante Publique" and the people of the city urged her to become. the mayor.

Arriving in Fall River on May 22, 1946 as the administrator of St. Anne's Hospital, Mother Pierre Marie's 22 years saw the growth of the only Catholic hospital in the Diocese of Fall River from a 92 bed hospital to'one of 204 beds. .

·Mother Pierre Marie

"Like -a mother feeding and looking after her own children we felt so devoted toward you, and had come. to love you so much, that we were eager to hand over to you not only the good news but our whole lives as well."

Thus St. Paul spoke to his beloved Thessalonians.

And in this way did the Sisters and, indeed, the trustees and medical staff and employees and patients of 5t.

Anne's Hospital in Fall River speak of Mother Pierre Marie whom God took this week to Himself.

For just over two' decades she was a familiar figure throughout the whole hospital as she-daily visited e~ch room, the very epitome of graciousness and concern and serenity. And everyone in the hospital felt secure knowing' that Mother was there. .

It is known that the Nixon entourage will include, in 'addition to the president's wife, Secretary of State Rogers and Henry Kissinger, presidential assistant on security affairs as well as other officials on defense and diplomacy.

According to a White House announcement, the President will .travel to Madrid to see Francisco Franco; to England, for a visit with Prime Minister Edward Heath, and to Yugoslavia for a meeting with Marshal Josep Broz Tito. .NATO Visit While in Italy, the president will go aboard the U. S. Sixth Fleet Flagship Springfield, a cruiser, to meet with unit commanders, review fleet exercises from the aircraft· carrier Saratoga in the Mediterranean and will meet ,at NATO'S Southern headquarters in Naples "with our ambassadors to the Mediterranean area." . There is speculation he will also visit NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. Other possible stops in France and West Germany have been ruled Qbt by Press- Secretary Ronald Ziegler. but reports persisted that the president would visit the· home of some of his wife's ancestors in Ireland.

High administration officials said one of the principal r~asons, but not the only one, tor the presidential tour was to draw attention to the 'fact that the' U. S. has a mighty arsenal'" in the . Sixth Fleet, which still outguns the recently augmented Soviet naval forces in that area. . The fact that his trip comes at a time when the fragile Middle East Peace talks are in danger of collapsing is not coincidence, these officials added..

The President, according to official announcement, will at some point in Europe review . Vietnam peace negotiations with Ambassadors David K. E. Bruce and Philip C. Habib. There ,was no word whether the meeting would occur in Paris.

Draft Resisters Safe in Britain

Better Priest "If 1 go to Boston, it is to be a better priest, and a priest is always available to everyone, rich and poor, young and old. A minister of the Church must be totally available, without bias.

"Sure, here I have defended the rights of the farm workers as part of my pastoral concern.

When I go to Boston, 1 will SE'e who needs me most there, who are my brothers in need.

"Besides, often the rich, who may have everything, suffer from spiritual privation." He then elaborated on correcting error and injustice through a "due process " ':' * established by Christ himself in the Gospel."

"If you have a problem with your brother, go to him first," the bishop said. "If he does not listen, bring one or two witness~s to him to confirm your words, and if he refuses to hear them, appeal to the Church."

Gospel The advice is contained in the gospel of St. Matthew (8: 15-20).

Asked if, after his long association with Latin America, he could visualize a solution for the tensions and ills there, he replied: "I say the solution has been aptly enunciated in the Medellin Guidelines. I was there, by the way."

He pulled from hiS' vest a simple silver cross.

"This is the only pectoral cross I wear," he said. "It was given by Pope Paul to all the bishops who attended that meeting."

This was the general assembly of the Latin American bishops held at Medellin, Colombia, in September 1968. Bishop Medeiros and other prelates were there as observers. A set of recommendations and programs for renewal and social reform were approved under the name of the Medellin Guidelines.

"That is the best possible program for the conditions there," the prelate said. "It is a magnificent application for Latin America of the directives of the Second Vatican Council.

It is more important than ever for the Church t.o reveal itself as a "fraternal community of the faithful based on the hierarchy," Pope Paul said in a message sent to Bishop Bernhard Stein of Trier. The message was addressrJ:I to "all the Catholic faithful in Germany."

lead the faithful to divisions and to the formation of convictions and opinions contrary to the teachings of the Church, causing confusion," the Pope said. ':The order of the hierarchy willed by Christ in the Church is an order of service. Even authority is a service to the mission of the church as is the cooperation requested by the (Second Vatican) Council on the part of the lai.y."

Commenting on the Katholikentag's theme, "CommuniW of the Lord," the Pope said that Christ, Who redeemed the Church with His blood, must remain the center of that community.

"Not contestation and criticism, but unity in charity will give to the world the truth of Christian doctrine," the Pope said.

The 'Pope's message in German, concluded with the appeal "to all the faithful of Catholic Germany to pledge themselves with all their strength to the success of the mission of the Church in the world."

LONDON (NC) - U. S. draft resisters here have formed the Union of American Exiles-aiming to liberalize British law's guaranteeing asylum to political refugeses from other nations.

More generally, they hope' to mobilize public opinion more solidly against the war in Vietnam, and to force Her Majesty's government to oppose it officially.

Draft resisters - young Americans who would be drafted were they physically present in the U. S.-are already quite safe in Britain, according to a spokesman for the Home Office (this country's equivalent of the U. S. Justice Department). So long as they entered the country legally, they will not be deported or extradited to the U. S. even if federal charges for violation of the U. S. Selective Service Act are brought against them.

While there has been no case in court where the U. S. requested. extraditipn of a draft resister, London lawyers recently queried agree unanimously that no British court is likely to condone extradition -regarding draft resistance as a political rather than criminal violation.

(Political offenders cannot be extradited under English law.)

The situation is somewhat different with deserters. The Home Office expiained that under agreements allowing American forces to be stationed in this country, the British are required to turn over deserters to the military when apprehended.

Disagree on Drug Problem Solution SAN JUAN (NC)-Archbishop LUis Aponte of San Juan and Puerto Rico's Gov. Luis A. Ferre emerged at odds over plans to combat the island's growing drug addiction problem.

The archbishop, calling for a "massive effort" by the people and the legislature, told newsmen he favored legalization of certain drugs to combat addiction. Primarily, the archbishop referred to legalization of Methadone, which is some areas has proven successful in reducing heroin addiction. . Gov. Ferre, backed by Dr. Eladio A. Montalvo Durand, president of the Puerto Rican Medical Association, disputed the wisdom of the archbishop's suggestion.

The problem of drugs in Puerto Rico has reached such a great dimension that it is difficult for program facilities based on traditional treatment to fit present needs, the archbishop stated.

Older women (not young firm teenagers) in the shortest of shorts, tIle tightest of slacks and bermudas , and the most ridiculous conglomeration of styles imaginable. Dressy blouses worn with sporty slacks, outdated spike heels peering out from under bell bottomed slacks and a, general appearance of "I don't care, I'm just out shopping."

One whole row of pictures was devoted to the gals with lleads full of giant sized curlers without even the benefit of a scarf to cover them. Without a doubt this is the ultimate in dressing "bad taste." Just how much more curl are they going to obtain by keeping their hair up in curlers as they go through their shopping chores and just exactly where are they going that is more important than where they are at the present time. Don't they realize how unfeminine they appear or don't they care?

While no one would expect these women and girls (many of the teenagers and young, mothers are the worst offenders) to dress for marketing or discount shopping as they would dress for a dinner dance but what is ",!rong with wearing a simple hairdo, a well fitting slack outfit or a neat blouse and 'skirt. Certainly we all like to be comfortable and casual when we're jumping in and out of cars, towing youngsters around supermarkets, or driving on an endless parade of errands but casualness is not sloppiness.

Home Masses LONDON (NC) - More than 1,000 home-Mass groups are now active in parishes in England and Wales. Some of the bigger, more energetic parishes are organizing groups that include parishioners from either one block or an entire neighborhood.

these same women walk around with their hair in robot like curlers are, actually the ones who I would tell' you that ,of course' they are interested in clothes, otherwise why would they bother setting their hair. .

.-Court Approves Aid for. Private School Students LANSING (NC) - The Michigan ,Supreme Court has 'ruled that a law providing $22 .million in state aid for nonpubHc school students is constitutional.

The advisory decision paves the way for release, retroactive to Sept. I, or" state aid payments to non public schools under provisions of a bill passed by the legislature and signed into law.

by Gov. William G. Milliken.

By a vote of 4-3, the high. court found "no conflict"· between ·the law authorizing state aid for Michigan's 280,000 non- . public school students "and existing provisions of the state and federal constitutions." ..

Proposal in Ballot The vjctory for supporters of state aid for nonpublic school pupils was diluted,. when the court, in a separate decision, 'set the stage for· a statewide vote on a constitutional amendment that would prohibit any form of . state aid, except bussing, for nonpublic school pupils.

By a 5-2 vote, the court refused to accept an appeal from a lower court ruling which or-. dered the constitutional amendment . proposal which will' be known as Proposal C - on the Nov. 3 ballot.

The advisory opinion supporting constitutionality of state aid for nonpublic schools was given , at the request of the' legislature and Gov. JYIilliken. The court's decision, was announced in a. one paragraph statement, but indicated an opinion or opinions of more length, supporting the decision would be released later..

This applies to all parishes, those staffed with schools as well as those that have none. Our Easter collection these past tWO years have been turned over to help maintain C~tholic education in religious Faith and Practice. It has not been nearly enough.

So we declare, September 27th, as Confraternity of Christian Doctrine Day in all parishes and missions o( the Diocese. What interest is generated, and monies contributed will go to sustain our programmes under the Direction of Father Tosti, newly appointed Director of Christian Doctrine, in training priests, religious and numerous members of Catholic Laity, men and women willing to study, pray, and prepare. that they might pass on the Truths of Faith, by word of mouth, and example.

We are grateful to God for much good done. But in things of the spirit, in all that involves the knowledge, love and service of God, there is no end to what all . of us, may, can and should do.

Opportunity confronts us all; let us make the most of it. Our lives will be better, our conscienc;es more at ease, because of what we do devotedly for our neighbor needing religious understanding, and our community needing the image of active, articulate Faith. Let us ~mite in proclaiming what we believe.

Diocesan Nuns At Meeting Representatives of five religious communities working in the Fall River Diocese were among delegates to a meeting of the Conference of Major Superiors of Women held this month in St; Louis. They are Sister Anna Rose Harrington, S.P., Sister Margaret Higgins, S.U.S.C., Sister Anita Pauline, O.P., Sister EsteUe Santarpier, S.S.J. and Sister Costa, S.S.D. Concerned with living-out their role in today's world, participants studied their involvement in the U.S. scene and their relationship with the Sacred Congregation' of Religious in Rome.

Consensus was that there should be American representation in the Congregation and that there should be American consultation and presentation of all documents referring to U.S. religious communities.

He discussed pOlarization, characterizing it as necessary and inevitable in order to attain "a healthy plurality'in life styles, theology, apostolates."

Calling for Margaret Mead's "committee of the future," he asked,' "What is going to help the people in the year 2000?"

Religious Groups Protest Hijackings WASHINGTON (NC) - Major religious groups representing millions of Americans added momentum to outrage voiced throughout the world at recent airline hijackings and detention of passengers and crew by Arab commandoes in Jordan.

In Washington, "moral revulsion" at Arab guerrilla actions was the reaction of representatives of the Washington Catholic archdiocese, the Council of Churches of Greater Washington and the Jewish Community Council of Greater Washington.

At a joint news conference, the groups demanded immediate release of all hostages and called for special prayers in church an~ synagogue services for their safety and liberation. They also urged "firm action to prevent hijackings in the future."

Prelate Stresses Positiv'e Va Iue Of Suffering CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Paul F. Leibold said there is a treasurer-trove for good to be found in sufferings of the poor and the sick.

Speaking at the annual Mass for the Confraternity of the Suffering in Old St. Mary's church, the archbishop said the lives of the sick are "a living sign of the value of life" which can serve as an antidote against the "terrible plague of anti-life ranging across our nation today."

A congregation .of 200, including a number of invalids in wheelchairs, heard the Cincinnati archbishop emphasize the positive value of suffering when it is joined to the sufferings of Christ in the mystery of the Redemption.

"The Church recognizes in the poor, the sick and the suffering the very likeness of her' poor and suffering Founder," he said.

"Christ wished to identify Himself most intimately with the least of His brethren, so the person who suffers grows through suffering in his likeness to Christ. Those who suffer have special titie to communion with Christ."

Suffering is an active contribution to the Church and the world, the archbishop emphasized. But the redemptive value of suffering requires an acceptance of it as a value and an offering of it as an expression of "completely unselfish love," he said.

Archbishop Leibold called upon the sick to "offer your affliction with' the gentle victim, Christ, who accepted the mockery, scourging and painful way of the Cross in silence-offer it in reparation for crimes and violence in the world."

Their suffering and pain also may be offered, the archbishop suggested, in reparation for the anti-life trend in the nation today, a major element of which is the move toward easier abortion laws.

"Your struggle is a living sign of the right to life and of the value of life," he said.

Retired Archbishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati also was expected to officiate at the Mass but was unable to do so because of illness. He established the Confraternity of Suffering and Prayer for the archdiocese 15 years ago.

Ask Catholic Views Of TV Programs EDINBURGH (NC)--The views of Scottish Catholics on religious programs over television and radio will be sought by the Scottish Catholic Broadcasting Committee, set up by the bishops. . Catholic viewers and listeners are being urged to submit reports, individually or by groups; of their reactions on the effectiveness of religious programs. . Cardinal Gordon J. Gray of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, chairman of the broadcasting committee, said the reports the committee will make on the listeners' opinions will afford an opportunity "for the proper authorities, such as the religious departments, of the British Broadcasting Corporation, or the independent companies to get viewer reaction" on the programs.

for like most of their generation they haven't yet got around to standing for anything positive; but the Berrigan position is diametrically opposed to everything the older "liberal!!" ever stood. for-intellectual and moral humility, respect for people and the democratic processes, insistence on civility and rationality, a refusal to indulge in moral perfectionism.

If right-wing clergy should destroy the files of the Internal Revenue Service or the social security system, then the Catholic "liberals" would read stern lectures on the need for civility, rationality, dialogue, and openness in the society. Yet one hears not one word of criticism or even doubt when the Berrigan brothers choose to do the same thing. . Violence Inevitable The reason given, of course, is the war; but surely the "lib-' erals" do not believe that the only response to war is to deny the legitimacy of a society and thereby open the floodgates for violence and disorder. The war is coming to an end, not because of the Daniel Berrigans (quite the contrary, the research data suggests that the Berrigans and the rest of the protesting rabble may have prolonged the war) but despite them, because the members of a free and open society have, however belatedly, made it possible for the government to' continue to wage the war.

Be it noted that this is the first time in the history of the human race that a major power has been forced out of a war simply because its people do not approve of it and this from a society which Father Berrigan and his supporters think is immoral and corrupt, whose legitimacy ought to be denied, and whose peace and order ought to be disturbed even if an inevitable- conclusion of that. disturbance is violence.

Rigid Party Line Father Berrigan and his "liberal" supporters are apparently quite incapable of grasping the distinction between a societywhich may do evil things and a society which is basically evil and corrupt. 'Fheir failure to grasp such a distinction makes them poor political leaders and, I fear, very dangerous prophets.

But in the final analysis I still do not understand why the Catholic "liberals" in their enthusiasm for Father Berrigan have tu~ned against everything they once stood for. I am sure this column will bring even more wrath down upon my head. Long ago I stopped caring (and indeed even stopped reading their wrath). It became clear to me that I was either going to think for myself or have the "liberals" for my friends; they will not tolerate any deviation from their' own rigid party line.

Father Berrigan can make his moral judgments and I can make mine and make them I will: The Berrigans and their "liberal" admirers, in order to eliminate one kind of" evil from society, are bent on a course which will lead to a much more serious evil-the destruction of law, civility, order, rationality and, eventually, the freedom of all of us.

Project Equality was initiated by the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice, a Chicago-based organization serving over 150 human relations and urban organizations.

Judge Rules Loan Program IUegal JACKSON (NC) - Another financial blow hit Mississippi's private schools when a threejudge. federal court declared a loan program to their students as unconstitutional.

The court ruled that a 1969 state program providing $200-a. year loans to private school students violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.

Private schools, where many white children have fled in the wake of total public desegregation, were also recently told that the Internal Revenue Service is revoking the tax exempt status of five more private school foundations wflich refused to adopt non-racial admission policies. This eliminated a big source of revenue for the schools since donations cannot be deducted from federal income taxes.

Meanwhile, Mississippi Gov. John Williams predicted another effort would be made to get the Southern Governors' Conference to take. a strong stand against forced busing of children to achieve integration.

United Nations Assembly Faces Challenges of Peak Proportion' UNITED NATIONS (NC) Outwardly, the scene set for the opening of the silver jubilee session of the United Nations General Assembly appeared to be as lJsual--colorful native costumes, a babel of languages, and greetings to friends as delegates swarmed into the circular hall before the gavel felL In reality, however the atmosphere was charged witl1 concern over major problems, some of them immediate and pressing.

Opening days have been marked by tension before, in the quarter-century of existence of this federation of nations.

But the gravity of the rec~nt eruptions of air piracy and of destruction of planes in the Middie East, with detention of hundreds of hostages, has posed a challenge of peak proportions to the arriving delegates, obscuring for the moment any disposition toward anniversary festivity.

Of 108 items inscribed for discussion, the situation in the Mideast holds a logical priority on the agenda of the next three montHs, as it does in the minds of the representatives of member countries of the UN. There is general awareness that the. word is watching and waiting for proposals that may defuse t\1is international time bomb.

However vast the obstacles' and difficulties, UN Secretary General U Thant is among those who persevere in optimism about the outcome. At a news conference Sept. 10 he reaffirmed that, despite "a severe setback," he is not yet prepared to say that the peace effort is

\

He said he is bending I every effort toward resumption of the talks in which his per- I sonal representative, Ambassador Gunther Jarring of Sweden, ' , has been taking part.

The basic decision to restructure the NCC into a new form of national ecumenical agency was made at its last triennial general assembly in December, Since then the IS-member task force has worked on four plans to strengthen the NCC's usefulness and effectiveness.

hour of the meeting here, instructed the task force to continue refining their proposals and to solicit reactions from NCC member denominations. They were also advised to design one tentative model to be submitted to the board at its next meeting Jan. 23-27 in Lousiville, Ky. The task force was asked to consider essential to the final model a membership expansion . to include Catholics; mission as a primary goal; a decentralized structure with membership restricted to churches, and development of programs.

Canadians Accept Restoration Of Comm'union-in-Hand Ritual OTTAWA (NC) - Canadian Catholics generally have accepted restoration of the Holy Communion-in-hand reception rite during five months of experimentation, the National Liturgy Office of the Canadian Catholic bishops reported here.

The statement added "few, very few, negative results have been reported."

The Communion-in-hand ritual was an optional method during the experimentation, coupled with the traditional practice of receiving the Eucharist upon the tongue.

Father L. L. Sullivan, liturgy office director, counseled Canadian priests to give close attention to the option provided by Pope Paul VI when permission to restore the ancient in-hand rite was granted to the Canadian bishops.

"At no time is one allowed to . undermine or belittle the long established practice of receiving communion upon the tongue. All the faithfUl retain their right to communicate in this manner," Father Sullivan continued. .

Careful Teaching "If the bishop of the diocese chooses to allow both ways of receiving the Host to be used in his diocese, the individual communicant may exercise his or her ·option at Communion time.

Nowhere is there an option for the person distributing Holy Communion, nor is there an option for the parish as a whole," he said.

"The concern of some of the faithful, particularly among the

man;s strongest instinct. It has, for instance, conquered ~ every ideological movement. Christian kings have, fought Christian Kings, Moslem kingdoms defeated each other, America's revolution in free government became fused-with national control of a whole continent. Russia captured Communism, now China is doing the same to the local Maoist variety.

Everywhere, sovereignty has won over ideology. With its success, the infinitely repeated risk of w~r and destruction has gone on from generation to generation. ' Now the United States has made 'proposals which' could keep the oceans free from the corrosive and aggressive divisions of competitive nationalism.

It is obviously of extreme importance that Christian citizens everywhere should show their understanding and support for this world-changing initiative.

The paramount ·issue is, of course, the avoidance of war.

Fontier-making unleashe's the worst forms of cupidity' aM pride. One nation wants what 'another nation refuses to give up and before long we could have the gunboats following the new "sea grabbers" all around our oceans. , The hostility between Peru and the' United States over Peru's claim' 'to 200 miles of "territorial waters" is only' a faint shadow of the big disputes that could lie ahead.

Magic Circle But the issues are even wider than the risk of conflict. They raise an acute ,question of planetary Nstice and here the Christian conscience is' called on to be especially alert.

It is Christian teaching that the earth and its resources were made' for all its inhabitants. In recent decades, the popes have enunciated clearer principles of international social justice than any other world' leaders.

The whole thrust of Populorum Progressio is to demand that the solidarity in sharing wealth which states recognize, however imperfectly, within their own boundaries,' must now be carried to the planetary level. , In this worldwide' context, there is no doubt about who is

Only Japan has succeeeded, as a non-European, in joining, the magic circle of white, postChristian peoples who are descended from Europeans. The contrast is even more startling in the case -of' tile United, States where only six per cent of the world's people enjoys 40 per cent of the world's income. ' ,

Jewish Educator Predicts Nation Of Woodstocks BROOKLYN (NC) - Disruptions at second generation rock festivals, according to an official of the National Committee for Furtherance of Jewish Education, indicate that the United States is rapidly becoming a nation of "Woodstocks. " "The original Woodstock Music and Art Fair held last 'Summer in Bethel, New York, -has spawned dozens of rock festivals this Summer that have served only to multiply the vices and excesses of the original one," said Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht, executive vice president of NCFJE which sponsors schools and camps for Jewish children in this country and in Israel.

Rabbi Hecht called Woodstock a mass orgy of drugs, sex and nudity-a "disgraceful story."

Knowing that story, he added, "how· can we possibly permit other Woodstocks to spring up, as they have all over the nation?"

'Almost Unbelievable' As rock festivals continue to be planned throughout the U.S., Rabbi Hecht believes "there is. hardly an area in the country". which will be untouched by festival-related problems.

It is difficult to imagine, he said, how a rock festival can disrupt an area unless one actually goes through the experience.

"What takes place is almost unbelievable," he added. "Thousands upon thousands of automobiles cr~wding the highways, no proper sanitation facilities, shortages of food, a disruption of normal services in the area from telephones to shopping, and then of course the festival grounds themselves with drugs everywhere, and with blatant nudity and public sexual exhibitions."

Rabbi Hecht said that in some cases court inunctions have stop· ped rock festivals from taking place, but warned that such legal means are becoming less and less effective. "A good example" he said, "is the recent Mountaindale Festival (In Fallsburg, N.Y.) scheduled to be held in mid-July.

Even though the festival itself was banned, 20,000 youths showed up anyway and had their own festival."

Family' Unity Instead of thinking of. the legal channel as the only approach to stop rock festivals, Rabbi Hecht said he thinks it's time to turn to America's basic family unity.

All too often, he' explained, parents "expect others to take over responsibilities that are actually ours. Somehow we expect schools to teach the discipline to our children that we have failed to provide. Somehow too we expect law·enforcers to keep our children in line when we have previously been unable to do so."

Rabbi Hecht stressed that the family should do things together to give youth the sense of family unity. "Togetherness is an overworked word, but it is something that can help close the generation gap and eventually put an end to future generations of "Woodstocks."

Pope Deplores DrLig Abuse CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) Pope Paul VI told a group of 150 scientists from America and Europe that use of destructive drugs today is among "the most serious and threatening evils bf our generation," The Pope, speaking in English, told the scientists that for some time he has wanted to speak out on drugs and their widespread use today.

He said he wanted "to say a word, both frank, loving and at the same time severe, about the fearful spread of certain poisons which join to their destructive power the attraction of inebriating emotions, and today form one of the most serious and threatening evils of our generation. We refer to drugs."

It is known that. Pope Paul has been particularly disturbed by drug usage. When he met President Nixon's special envoy to the Vatican, Henry Cabot Lodge, for the first time last July, drugs GROUP ·INVOLVED IN EXCAVATION: Front row: Michael Coogan, SJ; Thomas was one of the topics discussed.
