The Encyclical on the

Celibacy of. the Priest

'The Arguments Are Timeless' National Dire'ctol', ll".IE.lL.

By now the general propo­ sitions in favor of clerical celibacy enunciated in Pope Paul's encyclical have been sufficiently publicized to en­ able priests to form a clear idea of the Pope's teaching on this delicate matter. As some one put it, it now ap­ pears that during Pope Paul's lifetime a reappraisal of mandatory celibacy for Latin rite pl'iests is very un­ likely. If the taking of polls and public or private discus­ sions continue, they now ap­ pear rather futile, except as

expressing a remote hope that the encyclical's teach­ ing will suffer'a reversal at' the hands of some future Pope.

It seems to me that it is crucial to the acceptance or rejection of the encyclical that it depends on whether celibacy is to be considered merely as a matter of policy and ecelesiastical law, or that it is to be preferred be­ cause of the supporting bi­ blical" pastoral and theologi­ cal arguments - in which case the Church will never give it up, That celibacy for

Priest Supports Senior Citizens Corps Plan

BOSTON' (NC)-A Boston College study team tQ1d. ihe U.S. Office of Education th8lt children in private schools· are not getting a fair shake in government-funded edu­ OOJtion programs.

The study found that many JJocal school officials, both pub­ Ilie and non-public, operate on the basis of incomplete and .even orroneous understanding of the provisions and scope of ESEA, :With a corresponding detrimen­ 'Cal effect on the spirit of cooper­ ation and mutual trust between ,",-e two educational systems.

Cooperation La.g State educational agencies lllave not established any formal procedures for involving Catho­ nc school authorities in studying the extent to which projects will serve the needs of eligible chil­ dren attending Catholic schools, the report said. Catholics oper­ ate the largest non-public school school system in the nation.

Catholic diocesan school offi­ dals have apparently been will­ ing to do their share to bring about cooperation, the study aaid. It noted there has been a significant increase in the past two years in the number of dio­ ceses in which a coordinator of government programs has been appointed.

"Resolution of 1he problems ~ich limit participation of eli­ gible non-public school children ~ill require a closer working relationship between the two sectors than was characteristic 01. the first year and a half of eperation," the report warned.

POOl!' Scheduling It pointed out that dissatisfac­ tion with the operatil)n of the program has prompted, some eatholic and private school offi­ eials to question whether states which do not permit full partici­ pation by non-public school chil­ dren have the legal right to ac­ oopt the full amount of govern­ ment grants.

According to the study , the most important factor which IIlCted to hold down the enroll­ ment of non-public school chU­ !ik'en .in Title I projects was not

Msgr. Joseph T. Alves ad­ dressed the subcommittee' on ag­ ing of th'e Senate Labor and Pub Ii c Welfare Committee, which is considering a bill to es­ tablish a senior citizens commu­ nity service program. The pro­ gram would be staffed by the elderly themselves.

Msgr. Alves said he favored the program because it would put the talents of many elderly but still capable persons at the service of the community through such tasks as beautification proj­ ects and other neighborhood needs; would relieve the elderly of the burden of too much lei­ sure time; and would provide them with needed supplements to their incomes.

Welcome Chance The bill provides that mem­ bers of the Senior Citizens Corps be paid $1,500 annually for their services. Msgr. Alves endorsed this provision, and termed the aged, the nation's major poverty group."

The priest said surveys under­ taken among the aged in Massa­ chusetts indicated that as many as 30 per cent would welcome the chance to enhance their re­ tirement through part-time ac­ tivities. "For this reason, the Senior Service Corps is ¢o ¢o ¢o both necessary and worthwhile," he . stated.. ''The elderly American who would be encouraged to take part in the senior Service Corps efforts would attain a degree of personal self-reliance that would enable him and his fellow volun­ teers to become-a viable and in­ dependent· entity in the commu­ nity," Msgr. Alves said.

The story of, the last of the Ro­ manovs is rich in drama, spec­ tacle, scandal, tragedy. And its practical conse­ quences are still being felt by people in all quarters of the globe, most of whom have probably never heard the names of Nicholas and Alexandra, but all of whom have felt the impact of Commu­ nism, unleashed with the fall of Russian imperialism.

Nicholas was born in 1868. His grandfather, Alexander II, was then ruling Russia, and his father was to come to the throne as Alexander III. Nicholas, then, was in the direct line of succes­ sion.

Tsar at 26 His preparation for his future role was poor. As a boy, he was put in the hands of a tutor who was fiercely reactionary. It was drummed into Nicholas that the tsar was the autocrat of all Russia, ruling absolutely, with­ out a constitution and with no representation of the will of the people, he was told, loved the tsar . ~ -::nsely.

Alexander did nothing to ready Nicholas for the day of his own coronation. He gave him no knowledge of the office, as­ signed 'him no task. Nicholas' sllccession came sooner than anyone expected. Alexander III died, of natural causes, in 1894, at the age of 49. . .

MILWAUKEE (NC) ­

Archbishop William E. Cous­ ins of Milwaukee said here he is receiving some 100 let­ ters and telegrams a day on the

open housing controversy in the

city and that they support by a margin of some 10 to 1 his policy on the matter.

The archbishop has repeatedly

supported the right of Father

James E. Groppi to lead open housing demonstrations and ex­ pressed agreement with the ,priest's goal, while disagreeing with some of his methods.

He had emphatically turned down repeated requests that Father Groppibe transferred from his assignment as a curate at St. Boniface in the inner city.

The archbishop said he has received letters on the matter from Ne~ York, Massachusetts, North Dakota, California, Wash­ ington, Missouri, Kentucky and other states. Most, he reported, have been from laymen, many of whom are non-Catholic.

The letters of support, which he quoted, praised him for his courage and urged him not to

succumb to pressure from Father Groppi's opponents.

He does seem to have had mesmeric influence and unusual powers of suggestion. But he was' a crude, ul)kempt person, de­ .bauched and promiscuous.

Intimate of Family Young Alexis suffered acutely whenever the hereditary ,disease became active in him, and there was constant danger of .his dy­ ing. This caused desperation in his parents, especially in Alex­ andra. A friend of the empress introduced Rasputin to her, and Alexis rapidly receovered from a bad spell after Rasputin ca~e to his bedside.

Choice of College Salient {! Factor of Future Success The choice of a college is one of the important decisions of a person's lifetime. Quality of mind, expression of moral values, future outlook on life, career possibilities and enduring friend­ ships are all significantly bound up with the college experience.

For most students the initial choice of a college is a lifetime commitment.

The purpose of the College Day at Stonehill College is to give students and their parents a particular opportunity to in­ vestigate as closely as possible a number of colleges in which they may be interested. The pro­ gram of the day has been ar­ ranged around this feature.

JFATHER HAlUGJIlIlEY, C.S.C.

Dean of Admissions :;;tonehill ber of such grants allocated to any college is limited-gO such grants will be given to Stonehill students this year.

Scholarship Program Another important source of financial assistance for many students is the scholarship pro­ gram. The colleges have schola'r­ ships of their own which they generate or which have been en­ dowed to be allotted to students each year.

In addition many college stu­ dents are financed through scholarships granted by parishes, clubs, communities, organizations -even so'me business firms for sons or daughters of employees.

Local investigation of these possibilities should be made. In some cases acceptance to a col­ lege and need alone is sufficient basis to qualify for a scholarship.

Colleges and other organiza­ tions offering scholarships have come to depend upon the Par­ ents Confidential Statement filed by the families of students ap­ plying for scholarships. This statement records information regarding family income, size of the family and other aspects of the family situation useful as a guide in determining need and awarding scholarship and grant awards.

These statements are filed with the College Scholarship.

Service in Princeton, N. J., and the information is available only to colleges which are authorized to' receive the information from parents or families applying for assistance.

Students' Efforts Today a very high proportion of college students defray vary­ ing amounts of' their collegiate expenses through their own ef­ forts. Students are generally discouraged from ,borrowing more than $5,000 for four years of higher education.

Usually a substantial loan, plus some family help, plus some amount of work on the part of the student is sufficient to see students through their college days.

Today more than ever before persons from families of mod­ erate means are managing to send one or more children through some sort of undergrad­ uate pt'ogram. Although college educatio'n is an expensive prop­ osition the means are at hand to assist a very high proportion of those who desire an education.

Approximately 70 Catholic colleges from the eastern part of the United States and several from beyond will have profes­ sional admissions personnel to represent them. at the College Day. Most of the colleges will give four successive one-half hour presentations describing their requirements, facilities and programs.

Ea.ch visiting high school stu­ dent will therefore have an op­ portunity to attend the sessions of four different colleges in which he or she may be inter­ ested. Colleges not making for­ mal presentations will 'also have professional admissions person­ nel on hand for direct consulta­ tion throughout the entire Col­ leg Day program.

The process of choosing the right college involves several steps. The first important step for any student is within his or her high school through the guidance counselor or guidance service provided at the schooL Discussions with this agency will help students to discover their own potential for college and determine their possibilities of being accepted by colleges in which they may be interested.

The guidance counselor will also help the student to deter­ mine what type of curriculum to pursue as well as the type of college to which the student is qualified to apply.

For the Catholic, social and inj:lividual natures are related.

The Catholic college or univer­ sity, therefore, does not separate beliefs from practice, physics from metaphysics, public life from private life, man's human­ ism from his Divine attachment.

Catholic coli e g e education flout'ishes in an atmosphere where all truths discovered by . man are measured against truths known to us through revelation.

Personality, Attitudes An 0 the r consideration in weighing the choice of a college involves the student's own per­ sonality, attitudes, likes and dis­ likes. For some the more inti­ mate atmosphere of a small col­ , lege has greater appeal. Othel'9 tend to prefer the broader range Turn io Page Twelve

A remarkable thing is taking place tonight. In' several 'different places around the diocese, men and women, Cath­ olic and non-Oatholic, are beginnning courses in religion on an adult level. Some are teachers in training for their par­ ish schools of religion. Some are adults who want to know more about their religion. Some are non:"Catholics w:ho would like to learn more about this Church that they have heard about so many times especially during these last several years.

But all are wanting to learn. And this is what keeps people alive· in spirit and involved with life and people. In this instance, it keeps them involved with God above all .. eise. .

As the French lay theologian, Jean Guitton, has said so well, man's direction is both vertical and horizontal­ vertical toward God, and horizontal toward his fellow men.

The Diocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is sponsoring these courses in both doctrine and teaching methods, to help people fulfill their direction-toward God and toward their' fellows. Religion is, after all, concerned ever and always with two great themes: God is infinitely other than His people and above them; yet God is intimately concerned with and involved in their lives. When men and women grasp these two themes, they will 'have learned their own relationship with God and with one another. These courses will help.

Service or Self-Service?

l,I)e cisive Factor In the matter of vocation ~ the priesthood, it has alwa3Yi! been admitted tbat tbe Gburcb, not the aspirant's desire, is the decisive factor However sincere­ ly a man thinks he is called t$ serve as a priest, the Church: alone judges on his fitness. ~ one may claim a right to 00l­ dination. Hence, in practice. there can be no complaint on tbe part of a candidate that Ill! he is denied or4ination, he ill being unjustly treated. A vo­ cation to the priesthood cannqfj be viewed otherwise than as D call from Christ which the can­ didate thinks he has receivecllv but of which he cannot be Cel'­ tain until the will of the Chur~ manifests explicitly the call Of Christ.

That does not mean, that the bishop may not err in callinB up a candidate, but his mistake does' not invalidate the generaJ 'principle that rio one can be sure that God calls bim until the bishop '(or the Church), caDs 'bim. In other words, every on,e who is called by God, receives definite proof of his, call when the bishop calls him, but noll every one whom the bishop calls is necessarily called by God. Tbe bishop's call confirms a' can that already existed, but it does not supply for a' vocation that never existed.

A freshman-senior frolic was 12ll1ghlighted at Mt. St. Mary's, Fall River, with seniors assigned llittle sisters to welcome to high school life. A Baby Day wel­ lOOmed new students at Sacred

Each class meets the same num­ ber of minutes per week, but

periods vary in duration, allow­ nng for extended dfscussion or library periods or shorter lec­ iiure, classes or in-the-middle test classes. It's a mite confusing right now, concedes Anchor re­ porter Ka;therine Bolinger, but it'll soon be "just an accepted J\}art ,of the week's schedule," ,abe concludes hopeful~y.

At Coyle High in Taunton, m:udent councillors have been assigned to various committees reflecting their role.as "the core oll: school function." Ronald Ro­

Christine Homen WIth Parents Mr. arid Mrs. Manuel Homen is "just going to leave Carmel the way it is, I don't want to change anything-yet."

She was planning, however, on taking her exuberant spirits in­ to the enclosure with her.

"People don't realize that in a

montstery everybody is not au­ tomatically a saint," she said.

"At Carmel we'll be 13 women together all day long. If you can't laugh at yourself, it could be bad. People have to tolerate you and you have to love and tolerate your sisters. It helps if you can laugh."

Her parents laughed as Chris­

tine, a typical voluble teen-agel', asked how she was. going to keep her mouth shut during the "greatest silence" of the monas­ tery regime.

"I don't know," she said hon­ estly, laughing herself.

Christine was happy as she awaited the long anticipated moment of her reception into the Carmelite order. The joy that filled her heart spilled over in­ tp the hearts of those around her.

'What God Wants' Young as she was, Christine Homen, 17, had found the secret of contentment.

Many people, she confessed, had told her she was "not the type" for the difficult life of a Carmelite.

"I can't say I'm fully suited to it, either," she said quietly. "I can't say I have all the quali­ fications for it.

"But I feel this is what God wants me to do-so I'm letting Him worry about my suitability for it."

She had placed her life into

the hands of God. She was ready to accept His plans for it.

There was no room in her loving heart for fears or inde­ cisions-only happiness.

Able to Help People

Tuesday. Christine's big day arrived. At 3 P.M., in the mon­ astery chapel, Rev. Manuel Fer­ reira of St, John the Baptist Church celebrated a special Mass for the young woman who was ren'ouncing the world "because by separating myself physically, I think ,I am going to be able to help people the most."

Then, without ceremony, the door of the enclosure opened, Christine kissed her parents "Goodby," she stepped across the threshold and the door closed behind her.

KANSAS CITY (NC)-Prlests who direct programs to recruit American youth for the priest­ hood and religious life turned thumbs down on the Madison Avenue approach in their work.

The relatively modenl adver­ tising techniques for spreading the "come follow Me" message were considered out of tune with the standards of Vatican Council II by some 110 priests at the four-day annual National Con­ ference of Diocesan Vocations Directors here.

From such widely separated areas as Honolulu and Buffalo, N. Y., the directors came here for the session as guests of Arch­ bishop Edward J. Hunkeler of Kansas City, Kan., Father Thomas J. Culhane, rector of Savior of the World Seminary, and Father Thomas Kearns, archdiocesan vocations director.

Instead of the Madison Avenue approach, the directors decided the better program calls for widespread witness by priests to the relevance of their voca": tions to the challenge of mode~,

life; development of a complete theology on the priesthood; a re-evaluation of the meaning of celibacy in the priesthood; and a study of factors which influ­ ence vocational choices of mod­ ern youth. lSiilBnical Basiis

Featured speakers at the con- . vention were Father Eugene H. Maly of Cincinnati, Scripture scholar and author, and Father Carl J. Peter of the Catholic University of America, Wash­ ington, D. C., whose topic was "Is the Vocations Crisis Due to Dimin~shing Faith among To­ day's Youth or a Reflection of Cultural Reform?"

Celibacy is "as meaningful for the 20-century youth as it was for Jesus of Nazareth," Father Maly said.

Discussing "Celibacy and the Diocesan Prie.st," Father lVIaly con{jned his remarks to "the principal Biblical basis for celi­ bacy," passing over its historY in the Church and the question of "optional celibacy."

Earlier this mont.h the board had reaffirmed a policy adopt.ed several years ago against the wearing of t.he yaTll1ulka on the grounds that it would single a student out as a member of a part.icular religion and would prove distracting in class.

Opponent.s of the policy said that t.o be consistent it ought to be invoked' against students who wear a cross and chain, or some other religious ident.ification.

Linwood Cathcart, president of the newly formed Negro youtb for Action Movement here, was to have addressed a meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at St. Mary's church.

Church officials withdrew permission for the meeting when ·the identity of the speaker was made known and the meeting was held at the Chuhch of God instead. Plainfield earlier this Summer was the scene of racial rioting during which a police­ man from st. Mary's parish was soot and stomped to death.

Cathcart is trying to arrange a visit here for H. Rap Brown, leader of the Student Non-Vio­ lent Coordinating Committee.

The Green Hornet's one-sided triumph last Sat­ llIrday, which snapped Frank­ lin's 22-gam'l winning streak, in­ dicates that Oliver Ames High of North Easton faces a real test this coming weekend when the Orange and Black invade Mansfield to tackle new Head Coach Ed Cunning­ ham's proteges in a Hockomock League encounPeter ter. Mansfield Bartek has scored a total of 64 points In its first two contests while hold­ ing the oppjosition to 21.

On the other hand, Mansfield will have to stop the shifty and clever Wayne Casey who tallied all a2 Oliver Ames points as the North East on combination romped over Somerset High last Monday. The losers were held to a single six-point touchdown.

ATLANTA (NC)-Atlan­ ta's Archbishop Paul J. Hal­ linan, chairman of the U.S. . Bishops' Committee on En­ glish in the Liturgy, is most pleased with the "simple and eloquent" vernacular CanoJl of the Mass authorized for use in the U.S. beginning Oct. 22.

The new translation, which the Archbishop' described as "cle;ir ,and contemporary," is the first published product of the Inter­ ,national Committee on English in the Liturgy.

"I hope it is clear," Archbish­ op Hallinan said, "that we need no new liturgical books for this welcome developmEmt.The trans­ lation is on a temporary basis and we expect it to be supple­ mented in, the near future by alternative Eucharistic prayers already prepared by the post­ conciliar liturgical commission, the Consilium.

"Since the present change does lllOt require any new texts or Jresponses to be said by the people, books and booklets for ceongregational participation will not be affected." , The Georgia Archbishop add­ ed: "This reform places a new Jresponsibility on priests-first, to recite this central prayer of the Mass effectively and deliber­ ately, without hury or routiIle;, next, to help people to appreci­ ate the profound meaning of each phrase of the present Can­ on of the Mass. It is only when these texts are in our own langu­ age that we can appreciate them in the setting of the eucharistic ceelebration."

Arguments of Convenience All the arguments brought forth by the Council in No. 16 and by the Pope in 'the encyclical are not intended to be apo­ dictic. They only assert that a celibacy is "in accord with the priesthood on many scores."

These are arguments of conveni­ ence. Until these arguments are proved less cogent than their op­ posites, there is no reason to be'­ lieve that the Church w1ll change its practice. A real t;lsk Ues' ahead fOJ: those who advo­ oate optional celibac)' to prove

livan, member of the Fall RiveJr Diocesan CCD Board, have an.' nounced the establishment of lllIil October training program for those interested in the ReligioUIJ Education of exceptional chil· dren.

The course will be offered a~ Bishop Feehan High School Olll four successive Saturdays, be· ginning October 7th. The first meeting will be for orientation and will consist of talks and dis­ cussions, demonstration lessons mtd general information Olll training of the retarded.

On the follOWing three Satur· days there will be lectures and discussions on the· psychology of the retarded; necessary disci­ pline procedures in the class· room; and the use of arts and crafts and music as related to religious education.

The course is open both to parents and to prospective teachers and helpers. Although primarily directed to residents in the general vicinity of Attle­ boro, any interested person is invited to attend. Follow-up . planning is now underway to establish CCD Training, Centers for exceptional children. Tenta­ tive plans call for one center in North AJttleboro and one in South Attleboro-Seekonk Area.

Further information on the program may be had by calling Sister Patricia at 695-3072 in North Attleboro. the American bishops does not include priestly celibacy on its agenda. Both before and after the encyclical's appearance, some have, advocated that celibacy be discussed by the bishops. The bishops' dilemma is not easily resolved. The silence of the bish­ ops may well be interpreted in some quarters at best as non­ committal by those who say that the encyclical was a "papal de­ cision made in the context of curial thinking." Yet the De­ cree on the Priesthood, which approved priestly celibacY,was ,the bishops' document, 2500 o£ ,them. Silence might just help the caus'e of those who are try­ ing to introduce a wedge be­ tween the' Pope and the bishops.

On the other hand, a show of official approval would probably be hailed (from the same quar­ ters) as conformism and servility toward Roman curialism.

'Unseeing Protest' But whether or not priestly celibacy is placed on the bishops' agenda, voices will be raised against what was said and what was left unsaid.

Cardinal Sheehan observed not long ago that "the loud and often unseeing protest on the part of some against the disci­ pline of celibacy as it exists par­ ticularly among the diocesan or secular priesthood-voiced, con-' trary to the deliberate judgment of the Pope and the overwhelm­ ing majority of the BishoPll of the Council---certainly cannot be called a· manifestation of the sensus !fidelium."

If only to obviate "a cause of no little harm and confusion" among the faithful, which the Cardinal indicates has arisen from the discussion of celibacy in the press, may w.e expect some sort of statement of posi­ tion from the assembled hier­ 'archy of America?
