Demotion of Women Not Vatican Intent VATICAN CITY (NC)-Stung by protests from women, especially champions of women's rights, the Vatican ha!: pleaded innocent to the charge it demoted women in its recent rulings on minor orders. . Although the new motu proprio Ministeria Quaedem reserves to men the formal office of lector (that is, reader), an official clarification in the Vatican daily, L'Osservatore Romano, said that women may still read the scriptural lessons at Mass. The Vatican's c1arifieation recalled that this point had been

made expressly by a Vatican spokesman, Father Paolo Dezza, in presenting the motu proprio to the press Sept. 14. Many of the criticisms of the new regulations complained that they fail to pr:ovide for the formal admission of women into the various liturgical ministries. The Vatiean's clarification, however, said it would be "inopportune to anticipate or prejudice what mLght subsequently be established at the end of the study on women's participation in the Church's community life." This was the first public indication that the Vatican had accepted the request of several participants in the 1971 World Synod of Bishops for a serious' theological study of the possibility of ordaining women. The Vatican statement, however, did not make clear whether the study had already begun. Nor could the Vatican press office give more information immedi-' ately.

Founder.Father Morris Reflects Happily As Korean Sisters Observe Anniversary The Anchor is grateful to Maryknoll for permission to use the following story by Rev. Morgan J. Vittengi, M.M. from Maryknoll magazine and for the Maryknoll Photos by John Padula. It will be a/ quiet affair as celebrations go, probably a_ slightly better dinner than usual at various convents, schools, parishes and hospitals through: out South Korea. Nevertheless, the founding of the Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help this month will be an event no less momentous for those concerned. It will certainly be an occasion of special joy for an 82-year-old sprightly and witty Maryknoll priest, Father. John Morris. from Fall River, who founded the Order. Only the crew-cut white hair gives any indication of the age of this veteran missioner to Korea as he speaks enthusiastically of those days in 1923 when he was one of the three pioneer

Maryknoll missioners to go to Korea. His eyes sparkle with good humor as he animatedly recalls the difficulties' of mission life in North Korea.

REV. JOHN MORRIS, M.M.

Father Morris dismisses with a laugh the primitive (by. American standards) living conditions; the lack of even the most elementary means of transportation; the harsh climate-long severe winters, floods and stifling heat· waves in summer-and the scant opportunities for even a minimal study of the language or adaptation to Korean culture. Despite. these obstacles by 1925 he had established a thriving mission center at Yen Yan, ringed by an additional 32 mission stations. Each station was an average distance of 30 miles from the center. As both the center and the mission stations continued to grow, the logistics of travel alone demanded the assistance of religious co-workers. But the need became even greater' in 1930 when Father Morris was named the first Apostolic Prefect of Pyongyang, with all the timeconsuming burdens and responsiTurn to Page Twelve

The Vatican statement, after noting that the motu proprio had opened to the laity certain ministries previously reserved to the clergy, continued: , "Concerning the exercise by women of some liturgical offices, the motu proprio did not intend to make innovations, and stood by the norms then in vigor. "Furthermore, it would be inopportune to anticipate or prejudice what might subsequently be established at the end of the study on women's participation in the Church's community life, a study which some bishops requested during the 1971 synod. "Therefore-as Father Dezza stated expressly in his Sept. 14 press conference on the two pontifical documents-nothing prevents women from continuing to be given the task of public readings during liturgical celebrations, as they have in fact been doing for some years on the basis of the general institution of the new Roman Missal, promulgated April 3; 1969. Nor is a formal and canonical investiture on the -bishop's part necessary for this service.

Later it was sold to Dr. Philemon K Truesdale, becoming his first hospital, then in 1911 became Sacred Heart rectory. Opened in 1931 Although the parish had a school almost from its beginning, the present school building was erected in 1931, and continues to serve children of the parish, despite the difficulties facing today's Catholic cshools.

The attention is deserved; Jencks is a fine scholar and his work is of capital importance. , But his' findings, while they may ~epresent an idea government must put both a rel-" atively low ceiling 'and a relawhose time has at last come, tively high floor on incomes.

school and performance after school are very weak. Classroom' size, amount of money spent, teacher trainingnone of these have much to do either with academic performance or success in one's career. Nor does in~elligence-at least as measured I by LQ.-turn out to be a very powerful predictor. of academic or occupational success. Under such circumstances of course no one can expect that moving children around in busses like chess pawns will make much difference. For a long time w y Americans hav~ bought the myth of an all powerful school which was purveyed to us by the professional educators, When the schools failed to solve the race problem we concluded that the reason for the failure was not the falsity of the myth but the mistakes or bad faith of the educators. Phony Myth I

Bussing and similar crackpot reform notions were based not on questioning the myth but on the assumption that the men who were to carry out the myth were racists. I Jencks' research goes to the heart of the problem: the myth is phony. My colleagues Peter Rossi and James Davis wrote a report on the same point over a decade ago. The educational association which sponsored the report refused to circulate it. But at last it, is possible to say the Emperor has no clothes: schools don't work. , . But we are' still faced, with the ,problem of inequality. And .thoughts on this subject deserve careful consideration. In somewhat oversimplified terms, he suggests that, since inequality (and particularly racial 'inequality) cannot be reduce.d· by education, it must be reduced by strict limitations on income.' The

more or a great deal less than anyone else. Radi~al Suggestion There are social, ethical and philosophical issues at stake in such a suggestion-not to say political ones. Some men make more money than others, according to Jencks, 'because they com'c from ricner families or because they have different personalities or because they are luckier. You could eliminate the difference 'in family background and to some extent' in personality by taking all children from their parents at. birth (though Jencks does not suggest. this) and giving everyone exactly the same childhood experiences. But since this would probably be unacceptable to most parents, the only other alternative is the elimination of most income differentials. Jencks admits that this is socialism but seems to imply that you will have either socialism or continued inequality. The suggestion is a radical one though this in itself does not make it either bad (or. new for that matter). What Jencks is saying is that differences in so- v cial background, luck and personality (and presumably personality includes the willingness to work hard, intelligence and talents, not yet measured by personality tests) should not lead to differences in income. Western Europe The idea is not that everyone should make exactly the same amount of money but that the rather low income differentials of the social democratic countries in Western Europe should be imitated in this country. The United States should. take as its ideal the elimination of most inequality whic)l has heen accomplished in countr.ies like Sweden, Switzerland, and Holland. Jencks . is not· the only academic liberal who finds such societies attractive. They are neat, clean, well managed,. and orderly.. Hence they appeal to the intellectuals' passion for symmetry; whether they really are economically and socially healthy is another matter and the evidence that they are seems much less persuasive now than a decade ago. But the socialist goal must be evaluated on other grounds than the debate over the social democracies of Western Europe. If on . ethical and philosophical grounds income inequality is wrong, the failure of socialism in Wester~ Europe, even if it is proved, will not seem pertinent to many people, especially those who believed that society should be made to fit' a priori designs.

The scent business is making cents (in more ways than one, with the new emphasis on perfume for males), with new fragran,ces that vary from the unusual aspects of musk oil to the more sophisticated blends from well-known houses. Finding a perfume that is particularly "you" is with the ecology minded. Syn· thetically manufactured, this sup· ' not easy and most of the posedly natural scent is said to time we have to rely on the react differentily on each indi, judgment of others in order to know whether a scent is really working for us.

can smell garlic, onions and dog on my' hands for hours after touching any of th'e afqremen· tioned subjects, but my perfume' 'seems to disappear an hour or so after putting it on. Finally I do appear to have chanced ,on one perfume that stays with me. Melissa bought it for me for my birthday and ever since I've been wearing it even salesgirls stop and ask me what it is that I have on. "Is that Chanel No. 17" asked a cute little salesgirl the other day. When I assured her it wasn'tanythi~g 'resembling, any number Chanel, she went on to explain that that partiCular per· fume {;ould be bought only in Paris.

vidual who wears it. Whether you're able to afford the imported Chanels or the nat· ural oils, there is nothing more 'invigorating than ,surrounding your.self with a special scent, splashing on after bath lotion, or soaking in a warm luxurious bath filled with fragrant bubbles. Fragrance is a very personal beauty item, yet when we stop to think about it, quite possibly every bottle of perfume or cologne that we have in our col· lection was given to us as a gift. A housewife would not hesitate a second to spend some of , her budgeted funds for lipstick or makeup; but this same 'woman would never think to buy herself' a bottle of perfume. She would rather wait until someone bought her one and then it could very , well be a scent she wasn't com· fortable with. Not since the days when Tweed was the "in" fragrance has there been such an emphasis on the sporty or casual perfume ' for day with the heavier or more sophisticated odors saved for evening. This Chi'ist'mas' perfume buying will be as popular .~~ ever but there will be more emphasis placed on finding the r:ight per· fume for the right person.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Dun· barton College,' a four-year lib· eral arts institution for women run by the Sisters of the Holy Cross, is scheduled to close per· manently next summer with a $3.5 million debt. Paul G. Buchanan, president of the school, located on a 22acre campus here, announced the closing at an assembly at which some of the school's 50 faculty members and 325 students were weeping. He said the college would try to find jobs for faculty members and new schools for the students. Sister M. Catherine Francis, chairman of the school's 14· member board of trustees, told the assembly that the trustees had dedded to close the college hecause of' the debt, declining en· rollment, and increased operating costs. The school has received no major endowments. The Holy Cross order founded Dunbarton 37 years ago to give working women a chance to earn a college degree by attending classes at night. Another school whIch had been run by the order, Cardinal Cushing College of Boston, closed last June after suffering financial difficulties.

After listening to some women discuss various facets of the movement, -he said, "I'm willing to ' see my wife liberated. In fact, I wish she would assert the 1'l'2 person marriage. Such herself, read more, and form women are unequal because they more of her own ideas and refuse to ,give their own minds opinions without waiting for my approval," Then he paused, "But I'm not going to tell her.

They've got to feel equal within themselves first," His words echo another man's words spoken a couple of thousand years ago. This was Virgil, author of "The Aeneid," who told the women of ancient Rome, "They are equal who believe they are equal." Virgil's wisdom may explain why so many women are hostile to the objectives of the women's lib movement. They don't believe they are equal. Their hostility to the media image of bra burners, lesbians and the like is understandable. But their hostility to the idea of equality is not. Their Own Thoughts Feeling equal doesn't mean running the family, the suburb, the church and the world. It simply means that women feel their opinions and their worth to the world are equal to men's. It means that they can have a .thought on their own without furtively concealing it . It means they don't have to preface every card club comment with, "As I was telling Harry last night ..." letting their sisters know that their statement was weighty enough actually to expose it to male ears. It means that if they want to sign a petition, they don't have to ask their husbands. Or worse, they don't have to let out a trial balloon like, "I thought about going and signing that petition today," and waiting for their husband!: to react. If the reaction is noncommital, the unequal woman goes ahead. If it's negative, she pulls back into her second-class niche. The equal woman signs it and then lets her husband know, if she remembers to tell him-much the same as he would do. I think many women prefer being unequal because they don't have to think. They simply ask their husbands how they should vote, where they stand on thewar, and what they should say when someone sa.ys, "This block is being rezoned." When their husbands respond, "Republican, firmly behind the President, and over my dead, body," they, return comfortably to their magazines. I call this

any value.

They Are Threatened And they are threatened by women whose thoughts are valued because it means women can be respected by men as something other than mates, mothers, and martyrs just as men can be respected as other than mates, fathers and breadwinners. When a Golda Meir, a Margaret Mea:1 or a Virginia Knauer speaks in the company of her colleagues, mainly males, in the UN, university, or congress, they are listened to as persons expert in their fields, not as women who have abandoned their traditional roles. Why these same women arc flayed by their fellow women is . inexplicable unless their fellow women wish they would not stand up as examples of what women can be. Why I found the young husband's words so thought-provok- ' ing is that many women do not realize how their husbands wish they would become persons as well as women.. "I wish my wife would, read more," is a not uncommon remark heard by wom' en who read more. I'm convinced that many husbands would like to have wives who could discuss ideas with them, not just serve as ornaments and helpmates. This means, of course, going to the two-person marriage but maybe that idea isn't all bad. After all, we only batted 455 out of a possible thousand in the survival of the 1 Y2 person marriages last year.

Violence Reaction Against Society DUBUQUE (NC) - The growing wave of international violence is a reaction against a "western civilization that has nothing to peddle but possessions, pornography and power," according to a Jesuit scholar. Father Vincent Miceli told an audience of conservative' Catholics here that "a ·generation" of Western thinkers "has dissolved God into a series~f harmless abstractions." Western civilization, he said, has "secularized religion," "aided the spread of heresy and immorality," and come to terms "with organized lying, fornication, legalized adultery, sexual perversion, divorce and mass abortion" and, "opted for the life and culture-style of sin - the source of every violent way of life,"

Adopted Vietnamese, Boys Arrive At Home of Soldier's Parents UNION (NC) - After a long wait, Mrs. Louise Stark's boys are home from Vietnam. Although there have been thousands of homecomings in the long years of the Vietnam war, the arrival of Dave and Lee Stark was a rare, if not unique, event. 'Dave, 13, and Lee, 4, had never seen their parents. Mrs. Stark and her husband, Leo, adopted the Vietnamese boys at long distance. They had never met until the -boys' recent arrival. The Starks' son, Carl, had befriended the boys while serving in Vietnam and arranged for the adoption. With the help of donations, mostly from readers of the St. Louis Review, the local Catholic newspaper, the Starks were able to bring the boys to their farm here. "I threw the milkpail in the air when I saw the boys but Leo caught it without spilling a drop," Mrs. Stark told the Review. "The dogs were barking and I was hugging the boys and crying all at the same time." Dave, the 13-year-old, has been around Army bases for the last six years and the various modes of transportation are not new to him. The airplane they big one," flew home on was Dave says. "But it made me sick, we were on it so long. There was only one stop before landing in California and that was in Japan," Four-year-old Lee has led a sheltered life in Sacred Heart Orphanage at, DaNang and everything about his homecoming was a new adventure. The

WASHINGTON (NC) - The House Ways and Means Committee has voted 18-6 for a bill granting tax credits to parents of non public school children. The legislation, which would affect parents of about 5 million students in Catholic and other private elementary and secondary schools, grants a tax credit of up to $200 per pupil for tuition paid to privat~ schools. The bill has bee'n strongly supported by Catholic educators as well as by leaders of several Jewish and Protestant school groups. It Ihas been consildered the aid method most likely to survive constitutional challenges. The bills' supporters said they would seek congressional action on the legislation before the adjournment of the Congress. However there are no indications action will be taken by Congress this year. The bill would cost the' federal government $400 milliQn annually. The measure, which would' take effect Aug. I, 1973, would permit taxpayers filing federal income tax returns in 1974 to deduct from their final tax bill 50 percent of the costs of tuition up to a ceiling of $200 per year for each child. There would he no tax credits paid to parents whose children attend private schools that are racially segregated.

Priests Condemn, 'Senseless' Acts 1

LONDONDERRY (NC)-Seven Londonderry priests criticized the British army's account of the shooting of a youth here but also condemned the "senseless bombing and shooting" carried on by the outlawed Irish RepuhIican Army (IRA):, The priests claimed that the British army's: statement on the death of a 19-year-old youth was false. The army had claimed that soldiers sho{.the youth because he was arme'd. "We are bo~nd t~ take most serious view of the army practice - c9ming with wearying repetition-of' referring to all civilian victims of shooting as gunmen, as justification ,of their actions," the priests said. They said that soldiers had \ fatally shot nearly 30 civilians in Londonderry in the past 14 months and that, although only three were definitely known to be armed, the army had described most of them as gunmen. "While saying this," ,the priests continued, "we must also condemn the tactics of those who open fire on soldiers-and thereby draw fire on innocent I bystanders. "Those who l initiate these incidents bear a serious responsibility for the results. "It is abunaantly clear that our people are weary of the senseless bombing and shooting, nnd that further violence serves no purpose but the opportunity to provoke more killings." ' .

RESPECT LIFE-THE YOUNG: In promoting Respect Life Week, Bishop Cronin visited Camp Noquochoke on Sunday and after offerittg Mass, at the camp, he met each boy scout present. The Bishop chats with Timothy Graff of Troop 26 from Swansea. Waiting to meet the Shepherd of the ,DiocesE: are Rqbert Kelliher, Scott Johnson, in rear, : " and Scott Lyne-all members of Troop 26.

BATON ROUGE (NC)-Two suits contesting the legality of state aid to nonpublic schools have been filed here by 10 Louisiana residents. The suits ask for a three-judge panel to 'issue an injunction against implementation of acts 93 and 94;'passed in the 1972 session of the' Louisiana legislature. The Louisiana Teachers' Association, a perennial foe of state aid to nonpublic school aid, immediately, announced that it "endorses and supports" the suits. Act 93 extends ,credit against state' income taxes' paid by parents of children' in private and paro,c;:hial' schools. Act 94 provides a system for direct subsidies to those parents. The LTA and the petitioners contend that the subsidy act should be ruled unconstitutional because, they say, similar acts have. already ,been struck down in stiite and federal courts. The tax credit act, according to the LTA, "is in our view a form of state subsidy." "The law suit is in no wayan attack upon free school lunches, free' bus transportation, and free textbooks for all the children, and it should not 'l>e inferred that th~ LTA is opposed to private or parochial sci)ools," the LTA said. . But C.C. Goette, assistant superintendent of Catholic' diocesan schools of Baton Rouge, said there is good reason to mistrust any of the LTA's 'assurances. =iii III

Says Cemeteries Signs of Hope

THE ANCHOR":' Thurs., Oct. 12, 1972

Canadian Priest Settles Strike

HOLLYWOOD (NC)--'Catholic cemeteries are "loud statements that the €hurch has hope," a New York priest told cemetery administrators here in Florida. "-If our cemeteries are to be coherent symbols of' faith in Jesus and hope in the meaning of his resurrection," Msgr. Gustav J. Schultheis said, "then we must communicate the belief that those who die believing in Jesus are in fact alive, and wait to be raised with him on the last day." Msgr. Schultheis, pastor of St. Raymond's. Church, New York City, spoke at the convention of the National Catholic Cemetery Conference. In his talk, the priest emphasized the connection between cemeteries, as the last resting place of the body, and belief in the resurrection of the body. "Because cemeteries arc places of repose for the last remains of men and women who are, in fact, alive- with God in Christ Jesus, the pious practice of marking graves with the many designs of the Cross, and of visiting graves, are certainly worthy~hristian actions wellrooted in antiquity," he said. Formal papers and workshops at the convention included: "The Need for Catholic Communications," "Cremation And The Church of Today;" "Attitudes Of Contemporary Funeral Customs;" and "Trends in Tax Legislation As It Effects Cemeteries." Three hundred persons attended the convention.

DfAMOND JUBILEE OF PARISH: William Diskin, committee member; Rev. Robert S. Kaszynski, pastor of the St. Stanislaus Parish, which has just completed its 75th jubilee, and a concelebrant at the jubilee Mass; Bishop Cronin, principal concelebrant; and Michael Zwolinski, chairman of the jubilee ball, meet following the Mass offered on Saturday' night in the Fall River Parish.

ST. THOMAS (NC) - Father Patrick Costello accomplished in three days what employes and management of Gould Manufac· turing of Canada Ltd. couldn't do in seven weeks-he settled their strike. Workers at the Ontario plant recently voted 70 per cent in favor of accepting a two·year contract negotiated under the mediation of Father Costello, pastor of St. Anne's Church here. Father Costello said he entered the dispute on the suggestion of one of his parishioners after ne· gotiations between the company and Local 1975 of the Interna· tional Association of. Machinists and Aerospace Workers became stalled. "It was the first time I had ever been directly involved in a labor dispute," Father Costello said. "When one of the men in the parish, who worked at the plant, said that I should help, I offered to be mediator. ".1 wasn't sure if either side would accept me. But when both did, I said to myself: 'What do I do now'. No one in my family had ever been involved in labor relations." Father Costello caHed a pre· liminary meeting of both sides in the St. Thomas dispute for Tuesday. They met again for an all-day session on Wednesday, and by Thursday the union corn· mittee produced a wage figure based on Father Costello's sug· gestion. This became the basis of a settlement.

all the clergy were imprisoned in 1949, the' c1ergyless 'churches were maint~ined by the Sisters. U.N. forces captured Pyongyang in October, 1950, and when they retrea,ted two, months later 17 of the Sisters fled to the South with them. Little is known of the 15 Sisters who remained in the North. Those who reached the South made a new beginning in Pusan. Today, the Sisters of Our Lady

Apostolic Laity Pope Urges Christians Become Aware Of Mission' to Sailors, Fisherman CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) Pope Paul VI, declaring' that men who sail the sea "constitute their own international world," urged the Christian community to "become aware of its mission to sailors and fishermen whether they be on the seas, in port or with their famdly." Are not seafaring men, he asked, "the ones who, in today's society, often experience the saddest conditions of life? Are they not' separated from their' loved ones, subjected to economic and social uncertainties, abandoned culturally, integrated poorly into the human commu·

nity and sometimes even into the Christian community?" The Pope was addressing about 300 participants in the 15th world congress of the Apostleship of the Sea. He twice pointed out that the Apostleship of the Sea, now cele· 'hrating the 50th anniversary of its recognition' by Pope P.ius XI, was founded by laymen. He observed: "Now your can· gress is trying especially to throw into relief the role of the laity. This care for developing a truly apostolic laity within the mal'itime world merits, without the least doubt, our very warm· est encouragement.

Main Factor Britain has made some progress in drawing its Asian and West Indian citizens more fully into British society. But their numbers are held down by strict quotas. No one denies that they do the dirtiest, least skilled jobs and are all too often relegated to the worst neighborhoods. And this gives us an important clue to one of the main factors underlying the vast problems raised by modern migration. The mass of migration, almost al-, ways from poor, under-developed and overcrowded areas .to rich expanding ones, is a very great economic conve~ience for the richer parts of the .world. It is, if you like, a sort of steady aid from poor lands to wealthy lands. The poor come in to do the jobs-street deaning, sewage working, bus driving, railway porterage, unskilled roadwork-which the richer workers, with higher skills, education and aspintion are ·no longer prepared to undertake.

Catholic-Protestant Relations Progress GLASGOW (NC)-Progress in relationship between Catholics and Protestants in Scotland is "accelerating," said Cardinal Gordon Gray of St. Andrews and Edinburgh in a magazine article. In the October issue of Life and Work, the Church of Scot1and (Presbyterian) magazine, Cardinal Gray, president of the ScOttish Bishops' Conference, recalled the "happy exchanges" between the Catholic Church and the Church of Scotland over the years. "These may seem small enough matters," he said, "but they do indicate a .movement, and the pace is' accelerating." He said that remaining differences, such as mixed marriages and medico-moral matters, demand patience, courtesy and a frank and searching dialogue.

Sometimes they reveal an entire 'outlook on life. I

,Responsibility is such a word. It is obviously made up of two

more basic words: "response and "ability." Although I am not usually very concerned about digging into the history of wOI:ds, this word caught my interest. ,"Response" is from a Latin

word "responsus" which has "roughly the same meaning: answer, reply, Tesponse. What. is interesting is that "responsus" is from two other Latin words "re". meaning "in return" and "sponderc" .. which means "promise" and is at the root of the English word "spouse." "Respondere" means to ~'promise in, return." Free Response Re,sponsibility, then suggests the type of promise or response, characteristic' of a spouse. Marriage partners respond to each other's love. Their mutual response connotes freedom, love, commitment. The root of the word responsibility points to its' deepest meaning in terms' of freely responding in love to another. What is even more interesting is that the understanding of responsibility suggested by its Latin roots, is similar to the understanding of' responsibility in Judaeo-Christian tradition.' Too often we have tended to look on Christian living primarily in terms of codes and . laws, whereas the biblical and more traditional Christian understanding of moral life is in terms of response to God's call. The Old Testament sketches out the core of life as a loving response to God's initiative in daily life.

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS

to successive issues of the London Tablet by Bishop B. C. Butler, Auxiliary of the Archdiocese of Westminster. Bishop Butler is a theologian in his own right and was one of the more vocal and more influential English-speaking bishops in the Council. In the first of his three articles in the Tablet, Butler discussed the presuppositions of Catholic theology, new methods in theology, and the relationship between theologians and the college of bishops and its head. In his final installment, he warned that it would be "a grave mistake to suppose that the needs of the Church today can be met either by theology or by authority, or by these two in combination, without anything further.'~ Need of Interio:r Prayer In Butler's judgment, the time has come to look at the present crisis straight in the face and to realize that piecemeal adjustments on the, surface of the Church's life are not enough and, in fact, "may even be harmful as directing attention and effort away from the real issue." The real issue, as he sees it, is the need to rekindle in the life of the Church "a life of interior prayer and charity" and to make this the Church's major preoccupation. My own limited experience leads me to believe that Bishop Butler, in taking t.his position,. is speaking for an ever increasing number of Catholics in all walks of life. I have the impression, in other words, ,that there is throughout the Church a growing recognition of the fact that we have yet to plumb the depths of the current crisis in religion and that since the end of the Council we have tended, by and large, to skirt around this issue by concentrating most of our attention on problems and concerns which, though obviously important ·in themselves, really don't take us to the heart of the matter. The heart of the matter -to repeat Bishop Butler's argument-is to make the "spiritual life" the Church's major preoccupation. Bishop Butler is not. the only theologian who, in looking back on the council, has tried to put this intuition into words. Several months ago, in preparing some notes for a priests' retreat in the Bahamas, I came across at least a dozen books by English-sp~ak-

tual charity, is the very heart and inspiration of the Church and. the only true measure of the success of the Council. I was impressed by the writings of two of these theologians in particular-Father Hubert Van Zeller, O.S.B., and the late Father Thomas Merton.' Value of Prayer "Serious Christians everywhere," Father Van Zeller writes "are talking about the Church of the future, Church renewal, the flowering of fraternal love, the loosening of bonds which have held religion so tightly for centuries. The re-awakening of concern is well and good, but there is little corresponding interest in prayer . . . Any fool can decide whether or not he likes certain existing or proposed reforms ... but it takes real generosity to get on with the work of deep, personal, day-to-day prayer-an element in the Church's life that has largely been neglected in favor of controversy." iThe lamented Father Merton, in one of his last published works, made the same point even more emphatically. He argued - with particular referencce to the Church in the United States, which prides itself on being an activist Church - that the primary need at the present time is . to rediscover the value of prayer. Given the fact that Father Merton in his latter years gave much impetus to social activism and valued it so highly, his emphasis on the importarice of a renewal of prayer in the life of the Church is all the more persuasive. I apologize to the reader for quoting at such length from Butler , Van Zeller and Merton. My reason for so doing so is simply to illustrate, by chapter and verse my own impression that we seem to have reached a significant turning point in the aggiornamento, and one that holds out great promise for the future. Up to this point, as Butler et al have reminded us, we have been concentrating on (I almost said tinkering around with) institutional or structural reforms in the life of the Church. This was probably a necessary first step in the aggiornamento and, by and large, has served a very useful purpose. On the other hand, it would appear that more and more Catholics are now ready to admit the crisis in the Church is too profound to be resolved by superficial reforms of this nature. If this be so-if we have actually arrived at this stage of maturity -then surely the Council must be judged to have been a success.

Demands Let us not envy some men their accumulated riches; their burden would be too heavy for us; we could not sacrifice, as they do, health, quiet, honor and conscience, to obtain them: It is so dear to pay for them that the bargain is a loss. -Bruyere

HAPPINESS REIGNS: As the waters of Baptism trickle on the head of a baby the joy evidenced is due to the fact that proper preparation was made for the Baptism. NC Photo. .

Preparation for Baptism Continued from Page Sixteen community motion fundamental to baptism. I wonder if they also did not' recognize that this procedure eventually tends to discriminate in favor of the comfortable and against the poor (would youbaptize in the tiny, crowded, fundown apartment of a low-income housing unit?). Parental Catechesis A one-night, two and a half hour pre-baptismal catechesi~ for the parents is Our Lady of Fatima's ,major effort in trying to foster a sense of community before the ceremony. That. plus a regular pattern of monthly baptisms with the 12:30 Sunday Mass or now (again as a pilot project) at a Wednesday evening Eucharist around 8:00 o'clock. The educational program begins with each set of parents introducing themselves and mentioning the name of the child to be baptized. The priest instructor then presents them with a series of questions related to the' 10 minute TeleKETIC film, "Baptism-the Sacrament of Belonging," noting several points to look for as they view the powerful movie. IAfterwards the group separates into small sections for lengthy discussion of the film based on additional questions 'handed out by the leader. At the outset planners were concerned about this aspect of the evening but quickly found their fears unfounded. Participants after 45 minutes of animated conversation only reluctantly agreed to stop for a coffee break. The program resumes with a viewing of the Klise filmstrip, "Baptism-Sacrament of Resurrection." Then the priest speaks about the liturgy with its many rich, symbolic elements and en-

gages them in planning the details of the coming ceremony. Thus, one parent accepts responsibility for proclaiming the scripture texts, another takes intentions for the prayer of the faithful, others agree to bring forward gifts at presentation time. Parental Responsibility In formulating these pre-baptismal sessions, some have suggested that parents come before the baby arrives - anticipating the time pressures which arise in a family immediately after the happy event. They discourage this at Our Lady of Fatima because not only does the pregnant woman sometimes feel awkward in her condition, but, more critically, the sessions would in the process lose much of their community-building value. "n the present set-up a few days before the actual ceremony, the class both instructs parents in their Christian duties and prepares them for the liturgy to come. It is, in fact, a low-key, mini-rehearsal and would be impossible without the presence of those parents who will actually participate. The official ritual stresses that the ·burdens assumed by parents in baptism continue long after the water has been washed over an infant's body. "After baptism it is the responsibility of the parents, in their gratitude to God and in fidelity to the duty they have undertaken, to enable the child to know God, whose adopted child it has become, to receive confirmation, and to participate in the Holy Eucharist." Priests at the New Jersey church, believe their single evening course has helped parents to understand better the baptismal ceremony and, in doing so, to grasp more clearly the Christian commitments expressed within it.

Continued from Page Sixteen idea of "being begotten (born) of God," he states that this is a spiritual process whereby, through the imparting of the Spirit, man is given a new mode of existence. This new mode is a unique and intimately personal relationship with God that obliges him in a spirit of love to bear fruit in the moral conduct of his life (1 In. 2:29). Virtue of Religion The well-known moralist, Bernard Haring, C.SS.R. explains that the term responsibility is best suited to express the interpenetration and formation of the moral through the reli· gious, and also the distinction of the two. For Haring, religion consists of word-"In Christ the Incarnate Word we <;ome into communion with God"-and response. Man's response is progressive and consists of are· sporise to his word through growth in Christ, the Word, and imitation of him, and consequently in fellowship with God. In brief, the acquisition of the virtue of religion is man's response to the Triune God, whereby, through Christ's redeeming actions, he is incorporated in Christ, the Church, and the sacraments. Once it becomes apparent that responsibility is achieved through the acquisition and practice of the virtue of religionfellowship with God through loving and obediential activity in objective union with Christ-it is obvious that we have touched upon the deepest meaning of the word responsibility and explained the necessity of it. We also see that there is a correlation between each and every re-' sponse to the Word' so that prior responsible acts continually enrich subsequent ones.

Many a cottage' off in a field, for. example, has a TV antenn'a rising from its thatched roof. ' One remarks the number of new schools in different parts of the country.

sions for those who would improve their' command of the Irish language. The youngsters seen in the yards of the schools open for this purpose appeared to be of high school age. The Mass jn Irish is commonly encountered. One place where it was unexpected was Newman's university church on St. Stephen's Green in Dublin. In the pews were leaflets giving all the Mass texts of the day in English. But most of those present had their own booklets, and from these they made 'the responses, softly in Irish, the 'language used by the celebrant. , He wore the so-called Roman vestments which are u'nusual today, even in Rome itself. Pictures of Pope Paul offering Mass generally show him in the now' far more common ample vestments. New Churches Moreover, ,the Dublin altar was fast against the wall, hence the celebrant faced the wall, and it was to tne wall that he addressed the Irish equivalent of "The peace of the Lord be with you." He carne to a lectern to read the Gospel, but gave no homily. If one found it a bit, odd to hear no word of English in New, man's church ,one thought immediately, "but Irish is the language of the country." Really odd, though, is that there was no preaching in ,the church built by one of the greatest of preachers. There are new churches in Ireland, som~ of them fine, and a few notabl~. Among the best are those showing elements of ancient Irish, art blended into architecture and liturgical arrangements' which are contemporary. Lack of Distinction In one ,place, a church was being constructed right alongside another of the same title which, from its style, was probably built a hundred years ago. The older church was substantial and seemingly in good repair. Why was it being replaced, and, according to a sign appealing for funds, at a cost not yet met? There must be some reason for the change, but there could hardly be justification. for the new church's, complete lack of

Continued. from Page ,Sixteen pope. But I am one person who sees a need. And the person who sees a need is, the only one able to make any kind of response. The one who sees the need has the first responsibility. "If I had not come to them, and spoken with then, they would be guilty of sin. Now, however, their sin cannot ,be excused." I may not be able to pr~duce a response strong enough to take care of the need entirely. I may not have enough brains or money or influence to do that (though I won't know till I've tried). All ' right. .I'm not responsible for a response I am not able to make. But I can do something-and I'm called to do what I can. "Why have you been standing here idle all day?" 'Come Up Higher' There is little reason to think that the people of the New Testament times were different 'from us fn this respect. They weren't always seeing visions, hearing voices, having the heavens swing open before them. We know too much about how they argued with - one another to imagine that God was always sending angels to tell them just what to do. Jesus called his first few disciples directly and personally, standing in front of them, looking them in the eye, speaking their names. But for the hundreds of thousands of Christians then, as fo.r us now, God's call had to come through their insight into the needs of their own time. God called them by opening their eyes to t~eir responsibility. "Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts." The story in the gospel of the poor fiMow I who comes to the 'wedding but doesn't dress properly, is there to remind Christians that they can't relax simply becaluse they on~e responded to God's first invitation. Each response leads to further responsibilities. "My friend, come up higher."

If North can win its fourth straight, the stage will be set for what could prove to be the title game, Franklin-North, Oct. 21.

Unbeaten Attleboro Looks for Number 4 A full slate of games is scheduled for Saturday in the Southeastern Massachusetts Conference Division I. Attleboro will host crosstown rival Bishop Feehan, Msgr. Coyle-Bishop Cassidy of Taunton High will meet Barnstable on the latters field, Taunton will entertain Dartmouth and Somerset is at Lawrence High in Falmouth. As the campaign approaches mid-season Coach Jim Cassidy's Attleboro club looms as a strong favorite to win the divisional title. The Blue Bombardiers have victories over Falmouth, Barnstable and Taunton to their credit and should add Feehan to the list Saturday. The normally tough Shamrocks coached by Paul O'Boy have been plagued by injury this season, but may have suffered the fatal

blow last Sunday when they lost the services of quarterback Jeff Rixon for the season with a broken ankle. Coyle with two league victories tucked away will try to keep pace with Attleboro when it tangles with Barnstable. The Red Raiders must win in order to keep their title hope alive. A four-team championship race is developing in the Conference's Division II. Dennis-Yarmouth, Bishop Stang of Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Seekonk apparently will battle it out right down to the wire. Although there are no undefeated teams within the division, Dennis-Yarmouth and Stang have lost to non-divisional opponents, Both are 2-0 in their circuit. Fairhaven and Seekonk will be out to upend the leaders Saturday.

Five Clubs Chase Division III Crown Fairhaven 1-0 in the division will host the Cape Regionals while Stang entertains Seekonk. Bourne and Dighton-Rehoboth will round out divisional play. Both are looking for their first league win of the campaign. With five games left to be played following Saturday's contests, its safe to assume nothing will be settled in Division II this week. While Division II clubs are staging their dogfight, the loop's small school division race is shaping up into a wide open affair. At this point in the campaign,

five of the six clubs in the division are still in contention. Wareham and Norton presently lead in the standings but New Bedford Vocational, Case High of Swansea and Old Rochester'-of Mattapoisett are close behind. Preseason favorite Case was stung last Sunday 'by New Bedford Voke when the two fought to a 6-6 tie. Voke will be idle this weekend. Case will meet Norton on the latters territory Saturday. The contest is a big one for both clubs. Case enters the fray with a 1-0-1 division record while Norton enters with a 2-0 mark. The Lancers defeated Old Rochester 14-~ last Monday. The Regionals will attempt to come back this week when they take on Wareham. Old Rochester can not afford any more loop losses if it hopes to stay within striking distance of the leaders. Diman Regional Vocational of Fall River will play Blue Hill' Regional of Canton in a nonleague game Saturday. The FaU Riverites will be looking for their first win of the season.

LEARNING TO BE BOBBY ORRS!: "Father can do almost everything" in the eyes 'poor children in the missions.

Responsibility Equals -Response-ability Continued from Page Sixteen pIe in terms of human marital love. "So I (God) will allure her . . . and speak to her heart ... she shall respond there as in the days of her youth" (Ho 2: 16-17). The marriage or covenant theme is echoed in the other prophets and even more romantically in the Song of Songs (Canticle of Canticles). The Old and New Testaments view man's life in terms of God's daily involvement; God calls, invites, loves. Man is free to respond or not. Human greatness is measured in terms of the ability to respond with love tei God and others. Human life is meant to he characterized by a "promise in return," a giving of oneself with trust and -love to God who first loves and calls us. The core of Christian living ultimately can be defined in terms of responsibility, understood as a free response of love to the loving call of God. The specific . forms this response takes will most often be discerned through one's response to human needs, values, and opportunities. Vatican Council God's call may be recognized in the experience of life. It is there, in' daily living, that we can respond to that call. Scripture and the Second Vatican Council provide ample affirmation that God's call is found not only in laws and precepts but in the events, values, needs, opportunities, challenges of daily life. God

calls us through people and things, as well as through ex:' plicit precepts. (Church in Modern World, 1). Such a view of responsibility -suggested by the origin of the

Sisters Give School To Bolivia Poor ·LA PAZ (NC)-The Loretto Sisters have given their 600student school to the city's poor over the objection of most parents. The Fe y Alegria (Faith and Joy) school chain, devoted to educating ;glum children, will operate the facility established 12 years ago in a fashionable residential section of La Paz. The move came after repeated attempts by the Loretto Sisters to equalize the student body and bring some social awareness to the girls. A letter signed by Sister Eva Marie Salas and three others said the decision followed recomendations of the Latin American bishops in their 1968 Medellin guidelines for Church renewal and social justice. A large group of parents have threatened to take legal action and seek state intervention to block transfer of Loretto School to the Fe y Alegria system. Fe y Alegria director, Jesuit Father Humberto Portocarrero, has signed acceptance papers and will add the building to dozens of schools operating here and in other Bolivian cities.

word itself and confirmed by the Judaea-Christian mora\ tradition -is attractive and challenging. Clearly it contains the notion of accountability, just as the marital love involves accountability and fidelity. But accountability is based on a free choice, a free response of love. Freedom and responsibility are not opposites, rather they are almost synonyms. Responsibility requires freedom, that is the ability to respond. That ability to respond is simply what is meant by human freedom. Religious education has as one of its major tasks the enabling of free response - to God, to others, to oneself. Since love and trust is what seems most to free others, the religious educatorparent, priest, or teacher-most needs to be trusting and loving.
