Bishops Explore True Causes and Solution . VATICAN CITY (NC) --The opening speakers in the Synod of Bishops on the problems of the priest in the world today generally agreed that a real crisis exists but differed on its causes and cures. . The synod began Sept. 30 and, after only one day of ceremony and reports, plunged into general discussion of the theological aspects of the priestly ministry. Smaller sessions, broken .down by language groupings, were to follow the general discussionand then practical and pastoral aspects of the topic in both the general and small-group sess~ons -before the 210-member. synod is scheduled to turn its attention to its second major topic, world justice. '

From the reports 'coming out of the closed meeting nail during the first week, there emerged four dominant themes on which synod participants either agreed or disagreed. They were: What is the crisis in the priesthood? ~ How extensive is it and how should the synod try to remedy it? What is the relation and difference between the ministerial priesthood and the priesthood of the laity? . What should be said of maintaining celibacy for priests of the Western Church?

. While there were other points made by delegates, almost all of whom spoke in the ':lame of th.ei~ national or regional hierarchies, these four topics drew the most attention and apparently set the stage for further thought during the upcoming small-group discussions. Many of the speakers touched on the problem of specifying how the priestly ministry differs from that ministry of the laity, or the priesthood of the people. On the first discussion day last Friday, Cardinal Malula of the Congo said the nature and Turn to Page Six

Defends .Criticism of, Federal Official Lauds Organ.ized Labo'r's Ciy'il, Rights Position The 1971 Labor Day Statement of the United States Catholic Conference Division for Urban Life severely criticized those unions which , continue' to practice racial discrimination, but at the same time took issue rather pointedly with those critics of the labor movement who. claim, contrary to fact, that the majority of American unions falls indiscriminately into this category. More specifically, the statement took issue .with one of labor's critics- in particular-an unidentified high-r~nking Federal official who had been quoted earlier in the Summer as ha~ing said at a major Catholic gather~ ing that ,"while some unions have been leaders in equality of opportunity, the .majority, of unions ... are still trying to escape with only token compliance with the law of the land." We thought at the time, and still think, that "this is clearly an exaggeration - the kind of sensational exaggeration which makes for catchy headlines but is hardly· calculated to advance the cause of racial equality." Expects Controversy Our criticism on this score of the particular government official in question drew blood almost immediately from one' of the members·, of his personal staff who probably helped to write the speech referred to above. This staff member is a mari for whose personili· integrity' an'd· personal dedication to the cause of iriterracial justice we have sincere respect. At a national Catholic meeting concerned with the subject of interracial 'justice he o,bjected vigorously to what we had said about his boss and ~ndeavored to ,get the convention delegates to issue a public statement disassociating themselves from our position on this matter. It is' my information, via the gapevihe, tha,t,.thisproposed resolution was either tabled Or referred . to committee. . l 'should like to make it clear, however, that even if it had been adopted unanimously, it would not have led to any h~rd 'feelings on my :' part. After all,:controversy and disagreement, even aniong friends, is the name of the game in the field of social action, and anyone who can't take it in stride would be. well advised, I should think, to turn in his uniform and call it quits.' .,: - Watered-Down Version , This having been said, however, I like to think that if I had been present when said resolution was being debated, I might have been able to convince its sponsor that our criticisllJ of his bos,s was not meant to be all that pecsonal but was simply intended to keep' the record straight. We thought at the time that labor's overall record in the field of race relations (bad as it is in many re!ipects) is at least as good and .. probably t:better than that of some of its more vocal critics, incllictin'g the particular. agency for .which the above men,'. ,-,".' tioned government official (who t'

MEDITATION

St. Theresa

Mother Teresa '8 View The remarkable Mother Teresa of India who has done monumental work among the poor and outcasts and dying in that great land visited Cardinal Heenan as he was about to leave London for the World, Synod of Bishops in Rome. She expressed the hope that the bishops would give full attention to the. plight of rpillions suffering from lack of food, clothes and shelter. About the priesthood, she' said: "The Church can say no more now than when' I was a child. The priest is the only one who can bring Christ to~ our altars. All that matters about such a person is that he should be very holy. What more can . be said about the Catholic priesthood?" , tpat this is an over-simplified view. Some would say But who can deny that the exceptional woman had tou~hed, really, the very heart of what counts. And, as the Cardinal said at the synoc:f, the world's fascination with sex has given 'undue prominence to the whole matter of priesthood and celibacy. -"Most priests are not crying out for freedom from discipline,freedom from daily Mass and divine office, freedom from vestments, freedom from chastity. Most priests cry out, if at all, for greater spiritual help in their priestly lives. Let us give most of our attention not to our brothers in the priesthood but to our brothers in Christ who' are seeking freedom from want, freedom from fear and frE~.edom from misery." The synod will discuss both the priesthood and world justice. The first topic has already received great coverage and will assuredly receive even more. But it may well be that what is said· and done about the second topic will really help change the face of the earth.

An. Example There is a certain sadness in Cardinal Mindszenty's leaving Hungary after so many years of suffering and re-striction within that country. While inside Hungary, he was the constant living symbol of man's opposition to .tyranny and to injustice. In leaving Hungary and going to Rome he has lost even that status. But perhaps this is precisely the point. The Cardinal, who has been called upon to make so very many sacrifjces in his life, felt constrained to make a further sacrifice-to give up his position as a living symbol within his nation and to accept exile from it forever for the good of the Church. The Church today seems intent upon establishing some sort of relations with every government. The Church's mission is to all men, so she must try to go out to men who do not know her, who oppose her; who block her approach with all sorts of reasons and pretexts. The Cardinal ~O\lld see that he might be a stumblingblock to the Church's efforts or, at least, be alleged to be such. '. And so, in an act that really crowns all the many sacrifice,S he has made, he took this further step at tremendous personal price' to his whole being 'and previous efforts, and removed his emabrrassing presence from his own homeland. There are many throughout the world and the Church today who speak of love and activity to further the Church's mission among men. All of these have before them, in Cardinal Mindszenty's person and sacrifice, an example of what these phrases really me<J,n.

Ecumenical Spirit By chance the six tots now enrolled at the Somerset nursery are Catholics, but it was the Congregational Christian Church that found space for them. "It was a Friday when I asked Rev. H. Merrill Emery, the pastor, about the possibility of giving us space." related Mrs. Carey. "He said he'd have to talk to his board of deacons that Sunday. At 9:05 Monday morn-

i;g he was on the phone to tell me the vote had been unanimous to let us use church facilities." The generous donation includes light and heat, said Mrs. Carey, and the church also permitted installation of a Zenith loop in the nursery room. This is a type of aritenna that is strung around the walls, amplifying sound for the children. "And when some of our supplies were slow in coming from the state, Mr. Emery just said, 'Don't worry. If you need some· thing, let me know, and you'll have it.''' added Mrs. Carey, stressing how grateful the parents are, not only to the Somer'set church but to the community at large. Not a single current member of the nursery school is from Somerset, yet the local Lions Club donated .several hundred dollars for purchase of a portable amplification unit, used to supplement the Zenith loop equipment, and for special learning toys. And ORBIT, a Somerset youth service group, also made a sizable donation for purchase of visual aid materials.

'T'ell Childre,n the Truth Where Pain Is Co'ncerned

By MARY CARSON

Why don't parents tell children the truth where pain is concerned? Is it easier for a child to suffer pain, ass'ured it wasn't going to hurt? Doesn't t\1is cause a child to lose confidence in his parents, to doubt their word? I've made many trips to the hospital since I've been married. I've told three-year-olds, "You have to go to the hospital. They will take tests by sticking a little needle in your arm to draw blood. They will put a cup-like thing over your nose and mouth to put you to sleep so you won't feel the operation, but you'lI be very sick afterwards. You'll hurt and you'lf probably throw up. It will take days... weeks . . . months . . . (depending on the problem) till you are feeling better."

. Advises 1976· As Pastoral Council Target Date WASHINGTON (NC)-An ad· visory unit to the U. S. 'Catholic Conference here has recommended 1976'· as a' target for setting up a national pastoral council. for the U. S. Catholic Church. . The USCC advisory council agreed with an earlier observation of its steering committee that immediate establishment of a widely representative pastoral council to assist in U. S. church decision making was not feasible. . But the advisory group, a 50member body of bishops, priests, Religious and· lliity established in 1969, suggested several ways to help build the foundations for such a council by the recom· mended target date. The group submitted its rec· ommendations to the USCC administrative board, composed of 25 bishops, which will refer the matter to the full body of bishops at their semi-annual meeting in November. "The advisory council believes that a national pastoral council can and should be structured and .developed within the next few years," said the report to the USCC administrative board. As part of the effort to build the foundations for such a council, the advisory unit urged the establishment of a new office in · the National Conference of Catholic Bishops secretariat here., Council Directives The office would be responsible for coordiJ;lating efforts to implement a national 'pastoral council and would encourage development of diocesan, regional and pastoral consultations.. Vatican II directives urging establishment of such pastoral bodies should continue to be implemented, the report said. The advisory unit also' proposed that its own responsibilities be bJ9adened to include pas· toral concerns of. the bishop's cohference as well as activities of the Catholic conference. Following a year-long "feasi. bility study," the advisory council's ,i5-member steering committee said in July, that a fully developed 'pastoral council "with constitution, by-laws, functions and competency clearly delineated" which would also be understood and accepted by U. S. Catholics was "not now feasible." At the same time, the steerfng committee called it "highly desirable" that some structure be formed on the national level "through which representative priests, Religious and laity can share' with the bishops in the decision making process.".

Court of Equity , Begins to Function

)

TOLEDO (NC)-The ll·membel' diocesan Court of Equity, announced last year by Bishop John A. Donovan of Toledo, has given public notice that it is' open for business in the 19<'county diocese. The court will. deal with procedures of conciliation, binding arbitration and hearirig of pz:oblems brought to it by those who' have grievances or problems with Church-related matters.

UTRECHT (NC) - Cardinal Bernard Alfrink of Utrecht. said he hopes President Nixon's trip to Peking will contribute to easing international tensions and "to a solution of, the Vietnam problem." , In an interview here in The Netherlands, the 71-year-old cardinal, president of Pax Christi, the international Catholic peace movement, said: "This initiative could contribute to an improvement of relations with mainland China. It is high time we resume these.relations. We must also hope that China will soon join the United Nations, but \ the conditions of Chinese membership are not without importance for world . peace." ' The cardinal also said the' Dutch government must be critical toward its partners in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and that this critical attitude might lead to the Neth~i'Iands' leaving the alliance.

ICardinal Mindszenty Ends Self-Exile Leaves Hungary for Rome at Pope's Urging VATICAN CITY (NC)-Hungarian Cardinal Jozsef Minds'·' zenty, at the urgirig of Pope Paul VI, has ended his 15 years of self· exile within his own country and described :his decision as "perhaps the heaviest cross of my life." The 79-year-Old Primate of Hungary had lived an isolated life' within a few small rooms of the American Embassy in Budapest since 1956, when Soviet tanks smashed a Hungarian uprising and ended a brief time of freedom for the cardinal. He reached Rome by air Sept. 28 from Vienna. to be met by a Vatican welcoming committee led by the cardinal,!,;ecretary of state, Jean Villot. From the airport the aging prelate was driven to the Vatican for a warm and emotional embrace by Pope Paul VI.

A b,rief official notice in L'Osservatore Romano' announced that "following inte.nsive negotiations between the Holy See and the government of the Peoples' Republic of~Hungary, Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty today left the territory of Hungary for Rome." 'Heaviest Cross' An accompanying article made it clear that it was only at the Pope's insistence that the cardinal finally agreed to leave, an act he has long oppos~d.

In an article, the Vatican daily quoted the cardiiial as saying: "I would have liked to have lived the rest of my life among the people whom nove so much, but that was not possible because of the passions aroused against me and because of higher considerations of the Church. I will accept what is for me perhaps the heaviest cross of my life. I am ready to say goobye to . my beloved country, to continue in exile a life of prayer and. penance." Upon the cardinal's arrival in Rome, the Vatican also announced that an apostolic administrator responsible directly to the Holy See has been appointed f9r the cardinal's archdiocese of Esztergom. "For some time now," according to the Vatican daily, "the Holy Father has been looking with growing sorrow and anxiety for the cardinal whose existence after so many years con-' tinued in serious seclu,sion. Love for Church "Though the sacrifice was faced with uncommon strength and serenity, neverthless it did not cease to become ever more grave for one who has suffered so much and who has already passed over the threshold of old age." The paper reported the cardinal agreed to the Pope's request

to come to Rome saying, "having pondered in the depths of my conscience the duties inherent in my dignities as a bishop and as as a cardinal, I have decidedand also as a proof of my limitless love for the Church - to leave the diplomatic sphere of the United States~ represent~ tive." . The cardinal concluded by stating: "I humbly place this sacrifice of mine at the feet of Your Holiness, persuaded as I am that even the gravest sacrifice asked of a person becomes small when it is a matter of the service of God and the good of the Church."

Merit It is of no consequence of what parents a man is born, 'so he be a man of merit. -Horace

"At least three-fourths of our nuns aren't wearing habits anyway," the prelate said, "so I didn't' think a. few more would . matter." . r,;: l. -In addition' ~oruling about habits, federal Judge S. Hugh Dillin ordered the word "saint" chipped from the cornerstone of ~t. Ferdinand Elementary School. He also ordered religious statuary removed from school grounds at the elementary school and For~st Park High School. The judge's ruling applied to schools operated in buildings owned by the diocese and leased to the Southeast Dubois School Corporation. Judge Dillin's orders were based on an injunction suit filed by 141 parents of pupils in the area.

Bishop Requests Friday Penance To Help Poor

THE ANCHORThurs., Oct. 7,

Describes Life-Style ,

The bishop also said Catholic groups and organizations could do more to help the poor, giving as an example the charging of regular. prices for convention banquets but serving inexpensive dishes and giving the difference to the poor. "It is also clear - as many youth point out-that we profess Christianity, but do not live it," he said. "We should question current economic and social standards. I reject them. And I think many of our youth are rejecting them also." When the Friday meat abstinence law was lifted, it was made clear that Friday was to remain a special day of penance, he said, "but has it? What do you do on Friday as special penance?"

Mexican-American Pr.ogram Started SAN DIEGO (NC)-The San Diego diocese has started a new program to train Mexican-American Catholics to become leaders in their parish communities. Father John Hurtado, San Diego diocesan director of ethnic affairs, has been named director of the program which has received a $20,000 grant from the U. S. bishops" Campaign for Human Development. "Our emppasis," Father Hurtado said "will be on training leaders within the Spanishspeaking communities to work with their pastors on helping Mexican-Americans solve their spiritual, social and economic problems."

Irish Vincentians Give $1.7 Mil.lion

SPOKANE (NC)-Bishop Bernard J. Topel of Spokane has asked his diocese to give special witness to the poor by renewing Friday as a day of penance. The bishop urged Catholics who can afford it to eat a simple inexpensive Friday meal, and set aside for the poor the money that normally would be spent for such a meal. He pointed out that neither fasting nor abstinence are necessarily part of the suggestion. At Masses marking the official opening of the diocesan cathedral, which recently underwent renovation, Bishop Topel called his request possibly the most important he had ever made. Although not ~mposed under penalty of sin, the penance suggestion should be felt strongly, he said, citirigthe Gospel,parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

"There are many of you I see before me now who I know can not afford to eat even these sim. . . pie meals, H the bishop said. "Your penance shall be to accept the love of God." He preceded his request with a description of his own lifestyle, saying "I could not come before you and ask something that I, your bishop, am not willing to do." Currently living in a modest $4,000 house, the bishop is raising his own vegetables, cooking his own meals and washing his own clothing. He eats little meat;. What he saves .from his $97 monthly Social Security check, he gives to the poor. Agrees With Youth

DUBLIN (NC) - The Catholic Society of St. Vincent de Paul spent $1.7 million on ,charitable relief 'in Ireland in 1970, according to its annual report. The society, an international association of Catholic -laymen devoted to the service of the poor, the homel~ss, and the sick, has about 12,000 members in Ireland, who last year made a total of 400,000 visits to approximately 22,000 needy families, the Irish chapter's report states. Praising its massive work of charity, Irish Minister for Health Erskine Childers said at the annual meeting here that there are too few' organizations which operate throughout the whole country and across sectarian lines. He noted its work in Northern Ireland is highly appreciated by all sections of the community there. ' With shortage of housing a prime Irish social problem, the society has stepped up its in· volvement in various forms of housing activity, such as providing new homes or apartments, and repairing and building existing houses.

Irish Priest Runs Marriage Bureau DUBLIN (NC) I got a wonderful husband from you," a grateful woman recently wrote Father Michael Keane.. The priest, chief of a Churchsponsored marriage bureau. in the tiny Irish village of Knock, in County Mayo, is working to solve one of the most serious social prOblems of depopUlated and neglected rural Western Ireland. In his latest report to the bishops, Father Keane' reported that the bureau's operations produced 35 marriag~s in its first three and a half years of operation. With three other marriages coming up shortly, nine engagements recently announced, and 160 "introductions" currently in progress, the Knock Marriage Bureau may be celebrating .its fourth birthday with a -batting average of better than one mar· riage a month.

They have been told too often too long that they are incapable of teaching their religion. Now, when parents are putting out feelers for help, we need to 'supply it. Material Centers .

By DOLORES CURRAN

Whenever I suggest that parents allow their children to plan and carry out some family liturgical celebration, say a paschal meal, the first question is, "How do we help them?" When I mention having the kids make placements, centerpieces, poems, prayers, songs and desserts, some parents inevitably say, "Oh, our children are too sophisticated to do that. They would scorn it." This comment usually tells me more about the parent than the child. Parents are embarrassed in celebrating, not children (until they are old enough to sense their parents' embarrassment. Then they, too, become awkward at it.) Children are natural celebrators. I suggest that parents who feel uncomfortable at it allow their children to set the pace and ,the mood. Demonstration Liturgies Sometimes it helps to have two or three families celebrate together. Last year, in my small group of catechumens, I assigned each child an Ash Wednesday liturgy to plan and carry out in his family. We discussed' possible prayers, songs and formats. . . Later on, the parents reported their gratification and astonishment at having their kids take 'the initiative and openness to furnish some truly meaningful family Lenten devotions. (Yes, disbelievers, we had two ll-yearold boys who immersed themselves in it without urging.) Here is where the pa~ish can help. We need some demonstration liturgies designed for the family. We need to invite parents from the pulpit to gather together to share ideas, successes and failures. We need a full-time professional to help parents with methods and materials.

In my book, "Who, Me teach My Child Religion?", I suggest that each diocese furnish a materials bus. similar. to lending library vans and staff it with a catechist who understands parent problems. Such a bus could rotate on a schedule between parishes and offer books, rec~ ords, filmstrips and the like to help parents in this new field of family religious education. To date, I have heard of one diocesan material center open to parents. Individual parishes can stock sample materials for parents to view and order. It certainly isn't an insurmountable problem but it is a rare reality.路 Last year when I spoke before a~ group of parents, I grabbed an armload. of materials which I use and spread them out on the table before me. I was humbled' to see they were more interested' in the new m.aterials than in my talk: Most important, parishes can' help parents by. forming small groups of parents, who are try~ ing to enrich their family religious life. I call these groups, Parents 'Anonymous,' because they are usually formed for psy<;hological support. Eventually, they may broaden into remedial religious. education groups for parents or into other. areas ot' value for the family. Three Options

What about' content? Do we teach anything but love? I do. I teach a good deal about problems, joys, and heroes in the early Church. Our little group showed intense interest in symbois, early liturgical customs and modern attempts to go back to early customs this past year. It took a lot of re-educating on our part, but we talked about the age of Constantine and the effects of this strange new Christian sect upon the society of pagans in the fourth century. Groups like ours aren't rare. They are everywhere, waiting to be invited by the parish to come into existence. I have found that parents will take th~ time if they can get some help. I suggest that parishes consider three options in religious education this year:, parochial school, CCD .and home religious education.

Dingman said here. Sharing information through the diocesan newspaper "joins the bishop, the region, the parish and the family into a harmonious chain _of command," the bishop said. He added that it "unifies all of us who share a common priesthood through our b~ptism." "This is the Christian community," the bishop said. Bishop Dingman made his observations in a short pastoral letter published in his diocesan newspap~r, The Catholic Mirror. Writing such letters, he said, is ' ~'one 'of the grea~ privileges I enjoy." . . "The day of' individual effort has given way to group action," Bishop Dingman said. "Community is emphasized today and to form a Christian community we . need interaction between people.

Catholic High Bans Long Hair, Beards 'Little

Are Happy,'

~rincipal

Says

LITTLE ROCK (NC) - For a school, with an ironclad rule of accepting only short-haired students, the' 1971 yearbook at Catholic High School for Boys in Little Rock records plen'ty of locks' and not many bare fore,heads. ' But the foreheads are coming clean again becaus~ the school principal, Father George W. Tribou, has announced his intention of being "more strict in this mat-, ter than I was last year." It'was last year that discussion about hair lengths at the school resulted in a formal, one-page treatise on the subject by Father ,Tribou. The statement resulted in national headlines for the school-a school where students were forced to give up their long Summer' hair styles for the neat' trim look Father Tribou said he believes is most conducive to classroom learning and to the development of an individual's personality. "And, good heavens, no beards," the priest told NC News in an interview. When Father Tribou repeated this year that too much hair was showing at'. the school, television . .

cameras and reporters once again were on the scene recording, in, some cases, a sad student's forced loss of locks in the barber chair. . Expressing dismay and amazement that some of the news media depicted him as some "19th-century di<;:tator" with hairtrimming scissors in hand, Father Tribou said Little Rock's Catholic High School for Boys is noted for a great deal more than the neat, straight appearance of its students.

school principal summed up the_ situation of the school when he told him: "Father, your kids are different from ours ... and the biggest difference is that yours smile." "It is not good for boys to be concerned about 'personal cuteness,''' Father Tribou wrote in his statement on hair. "It should continue to be the exclusive right of girls, .. I favor competition in studies, competition in athletics, but I do not favor competition in coiffure!"

'Kids Are Different "Whatever it is we've got, it works," he added. "If the boys were not alive and content in this system we would not be tops in the state in scholarships, nor would we be first in baseball, second in football and first in the nation in Marine ROTC out of 38 schools with such units." Catholic High's 723 students are in the ninth through twelfth grades. Father Tribou, at 47, is the school's oldest facuity member. He has been principal for eight years. ' "There is very little griping here; the boys are happy," the priest said. He said one public I

Just what is "their situation?"

JAMES R. JENNINGS

Many American Catholics feel the need to be better informed about the "Third World situation," b.ut do not know the sources of background information about the Third World. This article will address itself to the task of providing American Catholics a wide selection of background reading material now available to them. Persons who are serious about becoming more aware of the Third World can supplement their knowledge by reading several periodicals and journals which bring them in touch with other viewpoints. Among the best are the following: Suggests Reading "Atlas, Best from the World Press," (New York: The World Press Co.) a monthly magazine, prints numerous articles from newspapers around the world. The majority of the reprints are from European papers; however, articles of the Third World receive wide coverage. The articles, reflecting what much of the world is thinking, often cover a range of contradictory views. "IDOC" (New York: Idoc International, North American Edition) is published 22 times a year. Originally designed to provide the Dutch bishops with vital background documentation for their participation at Vatican Council II, it has been expanded to feature surveys and reports from (and not exclusively about) the most critical regions in the world, for example, Cuba, Southern Africa, Latin America. "Origins," the weekly documentation service of the National Catholic News Service (1312 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Wash., D.C.). Besides furnishiJlg publication of actual texts of significant discussions at the World Bishops Synod on world juctice, Origins has a crossreferenced .file of background documentation on the Synod and its topics.

"China Notes" (New York: National Council of Churches), is a quarterly featuring articles and reports by visitors to the People's Republic of China. Constructive Viewpoints

...

It should be noted that much of the tone and substance of publications cited above is unfamiliar to American readers. In fact,' much of it may initially seem to some to have an antiAmerican flavor. However, it is not the purpose of these journals to publish ini':1flammatory rhetoric or harangues against the United States. Their purpose is to present constructive viewpoints stated - in positive terms, but markedly characteristic of the nations of the Third World. One of the most trying expe.riences for Americans in developing relationships with Third World countries is the insistence of these nations "to "go their own way." Implicit in this independent thrust is a rejection of much of the American way of life; it is a demand for the right to become what they can be, freed 'from the paternalism often shown by the rich nations. But rejection is a strong diet for most Americans; chauvinism lies deep in a powerful nation's psyche, inhibiting the development of mature vision. A measure of citizen maturity is the ability to see human values in and acknowledge the achievements of the peoples of other nations.

Urges Preventive Health Actions SAGINAW (NC) - Calling on America to take action against social problems that tend to send people to hospitals, U. S. Sen. Philip A. Hart said here, "We know precisely how to sew up rat bites, but we haven't been able to keep rats out of slum . housing." The Michigan Democrat said that "operating techniques for lung cancer are quite standard, but we haven't figured a way to eliminate cigarettes." He added that "more than 100,000 persons each year are accidently wounded by fire arrp.s, but no safety lessons are required,- for firearms." Hart spoke at ceremonies marking completion of the $5.5 million renovation program at St. Mary Hospital here, operated by the Daughters of Charity.

'Urges Churches Try to Rev~rse Fears Over CitiesD Problems' WASHINGTON (NC)-America's churches must try to reverse, the fears.gripping the public and turn them into a commitment to solve the cities' pressing problems, an official of the National Urban Coalition said here. "We can begin by admitting that we really are a plurali~tic society," said Msgr. Geno Baroni, director of the National Center for Urban Ethnic Affairs. "We must understand our diversity." He appeared at a news conference with Urban Coalition leaders who released a report on "The State of. the Cities." It warned that America may be FATHER B.RIMLEY . on the verge of tearing itself apart unless it develops a new sense of national .commitment to right its social ills.

Once this has happened, the priest added, the churches can try to develop leaders in the ethnic communities so they, in turn, can help their people achieve economic and political influence. "America is a land of promises," he said, and the churches should try to help the people not lose faith in those dreams. "The question is how do you make some of those promises come true?" "We have never really admitted our diversity," he added. "We should try to understand that we are probably the most pluralistic society in the world."

Denounce Arbitrary P:olice Measures GOYA (NC)-Bishop Alberto Devoto declared here that the Argentine government's claim it is seeking national peace and unity is belied by its unwarranted searches of homes and convents. The bishop of Goya spoke following a military police search of the convent of the Parish Auxiliary Sisters, a diocesan order. Several persons, including students attending the convent's high school, were arrested during the search. "This is a mockery of government statements calling for national unity and peace," Bishop Devoto said. "Such repeated raids give the lie to pacification appeals." Unity appeals by the government, Argentina's third in the past year, have come against a background of countrywide unrest. The nation's continuing econo!Jlic decline has' led to widespread unemployment and increasing poverty, which in turn have resulted in mounting protests and riots.

At the first .v~tican Council,

FR. GEORGE K. . MALONE

at the urging of Belgian Cardinal Victor Dechamps, the' Church was described as a sign. Thus we read; "The Church itself, because of its marvelous propagation, its exalted sanctity, and its inexhaustible fiuitfuln~ss ih 'all that is good, because of its catholic unity and its unshaken stability, is a great and perpetual motive of credibility and an, ir-

refutable' proof of its own divine mission." (Dei Filus, 3) In other words, the Church was here seen as a sign of its own ,divine origin. Following the lead of Vatican I, most authors from 1870 until the opening of Vatican Hin 1962 considered this statement" about the sign value of the church strictly, as an apologetical argument, a motive for accepting Roman Catholicism. Perfect Sign But Vatican II opened new dimensions to this description of the Church. Here it is asserted, "By her relationship with Christ, the Church is a kind of sacrament or sign of intimate union with God and of the unity of, all' mankind." (Lumen Gentium, 1) And again, in the context of the value of Christian' witness, '''In this way, the Christian community becomes a sign of God's presence in the world." (Ad Gentes, 15) And again, Christ "has established His body, the Church, as the universal sacra.ment of salvation." (L.G., 48) And again, that the Church is to be a "perfect sign of Christ among men." (A.G., 21). Sign as a Challenge Some have been confused by the Cquncil's applying the -term. "sacrament" to the Church. This application is quite in accord with traditional usages apd appliTurn to Page Seventeen

Those who believe in 'him will be to, the world like salt, which gives flavor and live light, by which men can see. They will be visible to all the world, like a .town perched on a high hill. The rest of the sermon outlines the sort of things which Christians will do which will make these images come true.

Extraordinary Experience Opens 'New Life to Author

Church: Sign or Countersign?

Andre Frossard, the author of I Have Met .Him: God' Exists (Herder and Herder, 232 Madison Aye., New York, N.Y. 10016. $4.95), must now be in his late 60s. It appears from his dateless book that he was a child during the 1914 war. The extraordinary exJ-!:e met a newspaperman of perience to which the title about 'his own age with whom . refers, occurred when he he struck up a friendship. )'his was 20 years old. Born in man, whose first name was Wilo

Alsace, he came from people who professed no religion and took atheism for granted. His paternal grandfather belonged to

By RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S. KENNEDY

a family which had once been Catholic; he had married a woman who was a non-practicing Jew. Frossard's mother's stock was originally Protestant. Thus, there was a religious mixture in , his ancestry, but absolutely no religion in his home or upbringing. In the two towns where Mr. Frossard spent his early life he had many churchgoing neighbors, Catholic and Protestant. But he could discern no practical differ~nce between their conduct and that of the irreligious. What worth, then, could religion have? SC)cialist Bent , His parents .were ardent socialists. In fact, they had first met at a political gathering. His father became the secretary of the French Socialist Party and sat in the Chamber of Deputies. For a time the elder Frossard switched to Communism, was the first Secretary-general of the French Communist Party, visited the then newly established Soviet Union and brought back from Moscow a glowing account of the wonderful new system. Eventually he reverted to nonCommunist socialism. Since his parents' chief concern was leftist politics, and since his fatherCconstantly wrote and spoke in favor of the socialist cause, Andre Frossard could hardly have escaped a socialist bent. His convictions were those of his parents, yet he was never as intense about politics as they. Artistic Interests He seems to have been, in youth, ,intense about very little of any importance. His academic promise went glimmering as his schooling advanced. He dabbled in a number of interests, mainly artistic, and did much reading. Mainly because of his father's connections, he got jobs on newspapers, as reporter and as cartoonist.

. Seeks Views LONDON (NC)-Cardinal John Heenan of Westminster has asked his priests to suggest possible successor~ to himself and his three auxiliary bishops. He has also requested that the priests consult the laity in the matter. This is the first time in . ~ritain that the views of lay persons on the appointment of ·,<bishops have been sought.

lemin, had abandoned the Catholic faith, but had come back to it, a development which young Frossard regarded as ludicrous. White Disc It 'was through Willemin that the climactic event of the book came about. He invited Frossard to dinner, but as they drove along in Willemin's car it became evident that they were going to none of their usual haunts. Willemin stopped the car, got out, and said that· he would' return presently. Frossard saw him enter a chapel. After a short while, he followed, chiefly because' he wanted to examine the architecture of the building. When he had looked over the exterior, he went in. A row of nuns was kneeling before the altar, chanting. There were many lighted candles around a cruciform metal object. Where the crosspieces met, there was a white disc. This was all utterly alien to Frossard.' But as he looked on curiously, he suddenly apprehended something which overwhelmed him. 'This Was Truth' "It was an indestructible crystal, totally transparent, luminous ..., with a color near to blue, it was ,a different world, whose briliiance and density made our world seem like the wraith of an unfilled dream. What I saw was reality; this was truth ... Now I knew that there is order in the universe and at its beginning, beyond the shining mists, the manifestation of God: a manifestation .which is a presence, which is a person, the person whose existence I should have denied a moment ago." He says that he emerged from the chapel "Catholic, Apostolic, Roman." He took instructions (and was bowled over by the idea of the Eucharist) and was baptized. What he calls his miracle was· renewed for a month, then ceased. But, despite many a trial, he has gone on for decades living the new life which it opened up to him. Something Mysticnl Mr. Frossard writes exception. ally well, and Marjorie Viliers' translation preserves the true, tart flavor of. the original. As a picture of people and surroundings, the book is brilliant, as it is in its depiction of the mentality of a complacent non-believer. One may be puzzled by the crucial experience which Mr. Frossard reports. It was something mystical, surely, and the autnor attempts neither to explain it nor to expand upon it. He just tells, br.iefly, what he knows happened to him. An atheistic doctor, called in by Frossard's alarmed and annoyed parents, gave as his diag-. nosis that the young man's condition seemed to be due' to "grace." It would he thought, last no longer than two years. It lasted much longer, and Fros~ sard's mother and sister later became Catholics.

Teach Children Rules for Living VIENNA (NC)-Austrian Catholic children six to eight years old will be taught Rules for Living instead of the Ten Commandments on a,n experimental basis in religion classes. Prof. Edgar Korherr of the Vienna' Catechetical Institute explained: "These Rules for Living are tuned to the life of the child at that age and have' been set up by child psychologists with emphasis ·on the divine law of love." One of the purposes of the new rules, .he said; is to avoid the "Thou shalt nots" of the Bible. The Rules for Living are: Love God and pray;. Honor everything that i!? sacred; Keep Sundays and feastdays; Honor your parents and superiors; Love your neighbor; Be modest; Take care of other people's property; Tell the truth; Learn diligently; Be brave, . practice the good and fight against your faults. Commandments that are considered irrelevant· to the child's nature, such as "Thou shalt not kill" or "Thou shalt ribt commit adultery," have been eliminated and replaced by' others more easily understood by children and more appropriate to their nature. . This does not mean that the Ten Commandments as such are no longer to be taught in Austrian schools. After the children are past the age of 8 they will be instructed in,the conventional manner. But the Austrian Catholic educators argue that for children below this age the Ten Commandments are something they cannot fully absorb in their minds, and that there is therefore no sense in teaching them.

Continued from Page Sixteen channels of communication between laity and clergy in the parish or. diocese. Concern over illustrations in children's books readily leads to concern over the place of art and beauty in Cath- . olic life. In other words many meetings begin with pedagogical questions of child catechesis and end with doctrinal questions about the Church, because the new approaches to religious education of the young take seriously the teaching of Vatican II and the Scriptures that the Church has a sign or sacramental role. The young are engaged in a kind of religious education that deals with what appears and is experienced as well as with what is said. It does little good to· tell the young that as children of God they are free, if in fact we forbid spontaneity. It becomes a lie to to teach that each Christian has soml(thing to contribute to the Church, if no one ever listens to him seriously. New Approaches Challenging A credibility gap can be created by teaching that is soundly contemporary and traditional but contradicted by the facts. To teach the young that the Church is a, community challenges parents, the teachers, pastors to look and see if there is anywhere

Continue Petition For Patriarchate PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Ukrain ian-rite Catholic leaders will not oppose. Pope Paul VI's refusal to set up a patriarchate for them, Auxiliary Bishop Bosil Losten of the Ukrainian-rite Philadelphia archdiocese said here. "We will continue to present arguments, to petition through proper channels, to find canonical reasons," he said, "but we will not oppose the Holy Father." A local spokesman for the Society for the Promotwn of the Patriarchal System in the Ukrainian Catholic Church said earlier that the society will. "continue its struggle for the establishment of the Ukrainian patriarchate." The spokesman said the nature of the Pope's refusal renders the decision not binding. He called on 'all Ukrainian bishops to join in seeking the partriarchal system. In a letter to Cardinal Joseph Slipji, major-archbishop of, the Ukrainian rite, Pope Paul said it was "impossible, at least at this time, to. establish a Ukrainian patriarchate...

in the parish a semblance of community. To instill in the child that the liturgy is a celebration forces adult educators to look at the Sunday parish Mass. To require children to learn that the Church has important insights about Christian living may mean little to them when the Christian community remains silent about serious ethical matters of contemporary life. Perhaps one of the major contributions of recent catechetical developments is that the new approaches are challenging parishes across the country to consider not only' classroom methodology but the life and structure of adult Catholic life and the nature of the Church. If the Church'is really a sign, then we need to question what we and our children experience as well as hear. We have to gradually become in fact what we say we are.

The Council is trying to emphasize that the' church must be an outward sign of God's saving grace. In other words, Vatican II sees the description of the Church as sign not merely as an apologetical device or a motive of credibility, but rather as a challenge . to the Christian community. The Church must be a sign of intimate union with God, of God's presence in the world, of salvation, and of Christ among' men. There has been a transition from a static notion of sign to a dynamic one. . What Vatican I had stated simply as a fact, Vatican II restates as a challenge...Since §igns can be easily misunderstood or wrongly read, the Christian community is summoned to offer a clear unmistakable sign of Christ's presence to the world.

for the second week in a row last Saturday when they lost 50-0 to Tiverton, R. I. Old Narry, League powers Somerset and Seekonk will meet on the latter's home ground this weekend in a game that should be one of the more interesting non-loop contests. Seekonk, a potential high scoring outfit, was shut out 12-0 by Sharon of the Hockomock League on Saturday last. Somerset has been idle since its win over Dartmouth two weeks ago. In the· Hockomock League, Mansfield ended a losing streak Saturday when it tied King Philip of Wrentham 20-20. The Green Hornets will travel to Franklin for this week's game. North Attleboro winless to date will be at Stoughton Saturday. The Red Rocketeers were toppled by Foxboro 21-12 last Saturday.

Bristol County Title Race--Anyone's Guess, The Bristol County League championship race is rapidly developing into multi-team scramble. At this time in light of recent developments, any prognostication ,would be foolhardy. Attleboro, defending co-champion along with New Bedford, given a chance to beat the Whalers last Saturday, completely shocked County followers by thrashing the Crimson and White 29-8. The Bombardiers now stand 2-0 in the circuit standings. Taunton rolled over New Bedford Vocational 20-0 on Satur.. day last to tie Attleboro for the -top spot in the standings. This _week the two meet head-on in • Attleboro... The game has to be rated a toss-up. , While Coach Jim -Cassidy's

Bombardiers were taking the measure of New Bedford, across town the Feehan Shamrocks were celebrating their upset of Durfee High of Fall River 7-6. At the same time, Coach Paul Therrien of Coyle was an interested spectator at the AttleboroNew Bedford game as his Warriors were resting and mentally preparing f,or this Saturday's meeting with New Bedford. The Warriors are 2-0 thus far; a win Saturday will thrust another, club into contention. Attleboro, Taunton, New Bedford, Coyle, Durfee and Feehan all have the potential to win the coveted crown. Who will win it? At this time it's anyone's guess. Durfee will host Bishop Stang in a morning BCL contest Satur-

became clear to us during the initial period of usage. Encourage parishioners (ideally several on an assigned rotating basis) to bake' the hosts in their own homes. After some experimentation with the first few batches, our baker now has the process simplified and she can produce them in about two hours. This offers several people in the parish a wonderful opportunity to participate more personally in Sunday and weekday Masses. Moreover, it neutralizes' much of the criticism. People easily object to items manufactured by an impersonal, outside commercial firm; they think twice and speak more softly when the producer lives next door or down the block. Explain the why behind these newer breads and reassure older worshippers that touching the' host with your teeth or chewing it is not wrong (many of us were so taught in our youth). Be prepared to take extra time at the Lamb of God breaking the bread into particles for communicants.' Super efficient priests may judge this a waste of precious moments; in fact, it forms a clearly visible and highly effec, tiv; sign. Attitudes Have a relaxed, but reverent attitude toward particles. To quote the Third Instruction: "Great reverence must also be used in breaking the consecrated bread and in receiving the bread and wine, both at communion and in consuming what remains for his Sacred Body and Blood, but I don't think he expects us to become fretful over barely perceptible particles which r,emain afterwards." Patiently experiment in the beginning until parishioners discover the proper method of preparing suitable hosts. The Roman document urges: "Out of reverence for the sacrament, great care and attention should be used in preparing the altar bread: 'it should be easy to break and should not be unpleasant for the faithful to eat. Bread which ,tastes uncooked, or which becomes dry and' inedible too quickly, must never be used." Our hosts, baked on a Friday and kept in a refrigerator, nicely last for a week. They retain a certain softness, yet let you know by both. their size and substance that this is the Lord's Body we are eating.
