KANSAS CITY (NC) ­ Bishop Charles H. Helmsing @f Kansas City-St. Joseph h'as issued a strong "condem­ ~ation" of the NaUonal Catholic Reporter, lay controlled weekly JlM,Ublished here. The bishop, who lent assist­ ance to the paper during its early days, said he was forced 00 condemn it "for its disregard and denial of the most sacred 'l'lllues of our Catholic faith." He suggested that some NCR' "",ri,ters have been guilty of

Methodist Bishop Commen~s Pope On Encyclical PHILADELPHIA (NC)­ The recent papal encyclical I!l>IJ1 birth control has not had any effect "one way or the ~her"

on the ecumenical movement, Methodist Bishop Fred Pierce Corson said here on his return f!'Om a seven-week tour 4)£ Europe in which he partici- pated in four interfaith meetilings.

World Methodist Council said ofibat Protestant leaders at the Methodist and AngliC8lll meet- lng'S he attended viewed the papal encyclical as 11 strictly infJe.rnal matter.

'(A spokesman for NCR said' the paper would not comment on the bishop's attack but would' carry the full text of his state- , m'ent in the Oct. 16 issue.) In his condemnation, Bishop Helmsing charged that the "misguided and evil policy" of the paper had "caused untold ,harm to the faith arid morals" of laity, priests and Religious., ~e also said' that 'the Church finds itself' increasingly more frustrated in its teaching of the ideals of Our Lord by the type of'reporting, editorializing and' ridicule that have become the w.eek-alter-week fare of the paper.

Bishop Helmsing said that he had notified other U.

Protests Co rson 'Tonight' Show's Slurs on Pope NEW YORK (NC)-The executive director of the Na­ tional Catholic Office of Ra­ dio and Television (NCORT) has sent Johnny,Carson a letter protesting a recent "Tonight" show in which two British show business personalities lampooned Pope Paul VI for his encyelical banning contraception, Humanae Vitae.

If the rich nations really wished to avoid the ris~ of contaminating their programs for international eco­ JIlomic development with short-run national interests or with selfish maneuvers in the dangerous game of power politics, there is no lack of alternatives. They could do that in helping half the peoples more through multilateral of the developing world to mod­ policies. They could make ernize their e~'Onomies, the rich more use of full-scale interna­ tional, agencies. In the Atlantic world, the chi~f instrument of multilateral action is the Org'ilnization for Economic Co­ operation and Deyelop­ ment. (OECD). It has set up its own Develop­ ment Aid Com­ mittee (DAC) and each year it issues a'very thorough 'report on what its member-govern­ ments have been doing in the field of economic assistance. It underline~ the problems that are already looming up­ for instance, the steady growth in the debt owed by poor lands to their wealthier neighbors (which could, in the 70s" absorb virtually all the foreign ex­ «:hange earned by the poor na­ tions-a -risk which Pope Paul has particularly undei'lined in Populorum Progressio). It sug­ gests possible strategies for dealing with obstacles .and bo~­ tlenecks. It tries to produce oomparable figures to relate one Illation's aid contribution to an­ other's, Above', all, it tries, in private, to encourage the lag­ gards and shame the less gen­ erous nations into greater activ­ ity. World Bank Another of its functions is to . assist the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the IBRD or World Bank) in setting up what are known as Consortia or' Consultative Groups to put together and oversee, under the Bank's chair­ manship, multilateral programs of ,aid to particular countries. Over half the development as­ sistance given by the Atlantic Powers has gone to India and Pakistan and in each case, an Aid-giving Consol'tium guides the program. The hope is that overlapping offers can be elim­ inated and the aid, most of which can only be spent in the donor country (in other words, it is "tied"), can be used to 'the maximum advantage. A further gain is that the Con-' sortium'meetings can be used to review the actual progress of 'the economy that is being as­ sisted and further aid can be linked to successful performance. For instance, this year Pakis­ tan s Consortium aid ,is based on the fact' that the Pakistan econ­ omy has continued its advance in <:Jgriculture (where the 1'1 f,e of growth has doubled since the early 1960s) and achieved an overall rate of growth of not less than nine per cent. World Bank's Role The role of the World Bank in U!e chair is crucial since it is by this objective international chairmanship, that the Consor­ tium becomes more than a group of donors sitting in judgment on a client. The World Bank sym­ bolizes the fact that the whole world has a direct interest in the peaceful, rapid development of the Indian sub-i:Qntinent and

WASHINGTON (NC) ­ eoadjutor Bishop Peter IL.. Gerety, apostolic administra­ tor of Portland, Me., told mission society representatives Ol:ere they must organize and uni- . iW their efforts if they are. to n»roclaim the Gospel to the mod­ em world. "The day of helter-skelter in­ Gilvldual missionary work is llVVer: mankind is unifying," he Q3Serted. · Bishop Gerety, in the keynote address at the annual meeting qrl the Mission Societies of Men (l:lxul Women in the United States ( Mission Secretariat ), said: "'Modern man is conditioned by ifue very tools which scientific ~chnology has placed in his hands to believe that no problem b beyond his power to solve. He is rapidly coming to the ~alization that his problems can only be solved by the unity of mankind in the great thrust to eliminate poverty, hunger and disease from the face of the Cllrth. Unmistakable Trend · "He may still be beset with aU oorts of divisive hatreds and ata­ vistic tribalisms," the bishop .oontinued, "but the trend in the direction of unity is unmistak­ ~ble; and modern man believes Jl1 to be something he can and must accomplish in fact. "'This," he added, "is the con­ 0axt in which our mission soci­ eties must work today." · Bishop Gerety said "modern e;clence and technology have fl)laced in our hands such tools ~ our fathers in the faith never dreamed of. Like our contempo­ ll'8ries, we should see clearly that we must organize and work to­ ~ther as a unit to use these means to attack our problems." Lauds Young People The bishop asserted: "There is constant complaint and worry :£lbout the smallness of our per­ sonnel and the enormity of our wsk; but we have at our dispos­ cl., through modern technical means, the possibility of e.van­ gelizing millions with only a few reachers. "We worry about the disinter­ ~t of modern youth in the call 00 the mission," he continued. CSNevertheless, our young people are full of enthusiasm and a ~reat spirit of dedication. If they give themselves to the Peace <Corps and to other such enter­ (prises, perhaps we should exam­ ine our methods of presentation and our techniques. "Modern youth is conditioned I\M) pragmatic change," he added, and posed the question: "Are we willing to give up our narrow traditionalisms and our all too llluman rivalries' to win him to . ~he task of proclaiming the Gos­ Il)e\?

Leaves No Choice "Is the Holy Spirit no longer ooising up young men and wom­ en to be his chosen instruments lfor the conversion of the Gen­ tiles?" he asked, "or are we im­ peding His work by refusing to adjust ourselves to the modern­ iization of our approach to the proclamation of the Word of God?" . Bishop Gerety said: "Some lltave been so overwhelmed by the problems of our day and the mew spirit of our contemporaries m various nations of the earth ~hat they have even questioned whether or not we should con­ ·~nue to disturb people with the j\lroclamation of the Gospel. . "And yet," he continued on, "'under God's inspiration S1. Paul lPaid: 'Woe to me if I preach not ~ Gospel.' The Savior leaves us lIlO choice: we must preach IDa message."

Support From Home Last year, over 300,000. missionaries, many of them educators, medics, agriculturists, working to alleviate the lluffering of the poor and needy thro.ughout ~he world, were aided by the $17 million raised by AmerIcan Cath­ olics including $7 million from the Mission .Sunday appeal. There are over 10,000 Americans serving. in the mis­ lion fields-4,500 priests, 500 religious brothers, 5,000 sisters and 500 hiy men and women. Approaching another Mission Sunday, those who see the nee-ds of the poor and hungry and sic~ and ~ne.duca~ed throughout the world are hoping that these mISSIonarIes will feel the support of people here at home. It is hoped that $2 million more dollars will be collected with an over-all yearly mission contribution of $22 million. While this sounds like a great amount of money, and it is it still averages out to only a fiftr cent contribution fro~ each American Catholic. And it must 'be stretched a g~eat deal to help fill the needs of all who look for help.

Student Activism The· new president of Brandeis University, Dr. Mor­ ris B. Abram, has put the matter of student activism i,n, striking perspective. He has commented: ,"If for any re~,. son a choice must be made between activism. and a ful~ academic experience, that choice should be understood for what it may be: whether to be a· sharp instrument all of·. one's· life minus four years, or a dull instrument all of one's life." The main' business of four years of college is edu­ cation, preparing one's mind and life for a lifetime of work and service. The main thrust of those four years must be the development of one's mind and talents and abilities. This full academic experience should bring one's life to a state of enla-rgement and excellence, so that; as a sharp instrument, one can live the rest of his life equip­ ped and able to make real and significant contributions to society. The student who looses sight of this paramount aim of a college' educl'.ltion and gets busily involved with so .many extraneous activities that he slights the full aca­ demic experience is making himself an inferior instrument for' future activity and accomplishment. Surely, a little patience and discipline during the years of preparation for life will make one a more intense and valued individual for the long future that lies before the college graduate. His role on .graduating will not .be that of the under­ graduate protestor but of the' mature graduate ready not only to protest but to do something constructive 'to change what he believes needs to be changed. He can exercise" his influence in the areas of politics or business or the professions. And he carries into these areas some cre­ dentials-he has finished a course of perparation, he has accomplished something he set out to do, he has made a success of one stage of his life, he has certain skills And abilities and know-how. . He is much :rp.ore valuable to a government for change, and much better' equipped to bring about a change than the one who has lost sight of the goal of college ~nd has made of his ~ollege career a mismash of part-time student, part-time protestor, part-time revolutionary. All these roles are too important to be 'given anything less than full-time concentration. This is not to say that the student must live on a plane entirely divorced from the problems of the world in which he lives and will live. But he must keep to the priority .of a full academic career first and above all else.

supreme sacrIfice for souls. Some,. like France, Holland and Germany have a much better record than we have. But they have a much higher 'percentage of missionaries, and there's nothing like helping one's own. . However, the poor of the worl~ have a true image of America, as the land of plenty. They have benefitted by our clothing appeal, and governmental food-supplies. We have earned their confidence over the years. We . . should not fail them in money matters. As long as God is good to us, - we should not live selfishly. We must never grow weary of helping our brothers-in-need. ,

It is comforting to .know that many missions in Africa and India have risen to the place of providing . their own Bishops, teachers, sisters, brothers and priests. , But there will never be enough. Conversions have mul-, tiplied, due in great extent to the rising generation of natives who serve the Church as leaders. At the Vatican Council there were about 350 bishops, natives of Africa and the Orient. Four· Cardinals represented the missions. Of one or two of them, it could be said that their parents could neither read nor write. This is a wonderful proof of the worth of the missions, but when we think of the uncounted millions awaiting God's Grace, we must rea­ lize how much we can still help.

In the goodness of ~d, we have much to be thank­ ful for. Let us show our gratitude by what we do in pray­ ers, and· give of our substance to spr~ad Christ's kingdom on earth.

Pants Are New Fall Look, But Not Suitable for All

CHIOAGO (NC)-The CathoDe Physicians' Guild of Chicago has endorsed Pope Paul VI's encycli­ cal banning contraception and has called on Catholic physicians and sCientists to make greater efforts to perfect the rhythm method of limiting births. The doctors say the encyclical may cause problems Ifor many' Catholics, but noted: "It is pro­ vel1bial, however, that for everY, human problem that is complex, difficult and many-faceted, there is a solution that is simple,. easY, and false. "We are therefore particularly grateful for inspired view of the Holy Father who has re­ sisted manifold pressures and i&­ fluences to delineate a course whose ultimate wisdom, though sorely tested by the exigencies of the modern day, may be abun­ dantly proved by the futu·re." The doctors' statement ex­ pressed concern about state limi­ tation of births and noted that "it may be a snorter step than we realize to the point where man, acting for the state, can say who should be born, whep. 804 with what traits."

;DAYTON (NC)-The gap be­ tween American youth and their parentS is not as broad as it sometimes ·appears on college campuses, the chief. of U. S. Aii' Force chaplains said here. Msgr. (Maj. Gen.) Edwin R. Chess, interviewed at nearby BerganNl center, where he spoke at a workshop attended by single Catholic airmen, said there is soant evidence of the "God is dead", sentiment among the mil­ lions )of young people, single or rna·rried, in the military service. Msgr. Chess said young people believe in God, appreciate par-. ental values, and establish a ,rapport between themselves and their parents. Those in the serv­ ice represent a broad cross sec­ tion of American youth, he pointed out. Discussing the task of Air ,;Force chaplains; who serve both aill'men and their dependents, Msgr. Chess said the chaplain has pastoral problems "iii,herent in_ the system." - The married man who fiies or maintains a plane finds himself on frequent military duties which take him away from his family; he stated. Family Adjustments As a· result,· he continued, families suffer, and there is the danger of discontent.

he 3(Jded, is_another factor, with pastoral. implications. The retention of a man in the service often depends on family adjustments to his military role, he said. Observing that the role of the chaplain is unlike what it 'was in World War II, Msgr. Chess said: "Today the. chaplain's work is more family-centered, more parochial, and he himself is a professional-an advisor to the commander." Msgr. Chess, 55, is a priest of the Chicago archdiocese.

Catholic Services Sends Supplies For Biafra NEW YORK (NC}-Cath­ o]ic Relief Services has ship­ ped some. $300,000 worth of equipment to the island of Sao Tome to belp increase the number of nightly airshuttles of food and medicine from the island to the starving people in blockaded Biafra. The equipment was flown from Kennedy Airport here in three separate charter flights to Amsterdam. where it was, to be transferred to Boeing 707's, the largest aircraft able to land on Sao Tome's airstrip. Included in the shipment were about 100 tons of aluminum matting. enough for 30.420 square feet of additional airstrip tamping on the Portuguese West Africa island of Sao Tome; one fOl'klift truck to cut down time of loading and unloading relief flights; and 15 tons of medicines, New Ramps Msgr. Andrew P, Landi, as­ sistant executive director of CRS. expressed hope. that with the new and larger loading ramps planned for Sao Tome. the present nightly average of 10 relief flights to Biafra may be increased to as many al! 50. 'Regardless of the inilitary outcome in the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, Msgr. Landi explained, it is felttha't Sao Tome will continue to be a base of opera­ tion for bringing relief supplies to the victims on both sides of the civil war because of the poor condition of the roads and bl'idges leading into the stricken al·eas. Msgr. Landi recently returned fl'om a tOUI' of the ,former areas of Biafra now under federal control, below Ikot Ekpcne where he found the needs of refugees critical in. regard to food and medicines., Nightly , The nightlY mercy. flights from SaQ T9me to Biafra are under the coordinatio.n of the Committee of; International Church Relief Ol·ganizat.ions, :which is supported by, Church World Service and Catholic Re­ lief Services, the American .Protestant and .. Catholic over­ .~cas aid agencies. ,Financial support ,for the :equipment being flown by Cath­ ,oJic Relief Services to Sao Tome is also being provided by Cari­ tas, the intel'llationnl Catholic welfal'e agency; Norchurchaid. a composite group of Scandinavian Protestant churches. and Cath-, olic and Protestant church groups in Gcrmnny.

MONTCLAIR (NC)-A state­ ment designed 1:0 help calm ra­ cial tensions in'Montclair High School here in New :Tersey was read in all churches and syna­ gogues. . There have been intermittent racial disturbances since school opened in September, but ru­ ,mol'S of incidents which never took place frightened some par­ ents into keeping children home. There were also disturbances in the school last Spring. The statement read in the churches. drafted by some 30 clergymen, said: "In the middle of a period of confusion, tension, conflict and rumor mongering which threatens to tear our be­ loved town apart, we make an urgent plea to our entire com­ munity. 'Cool it·... . ' The clergy asked for "calmness instead of near hysteria," and "reason rather than wild irra­ tionality" in dealing with the multitude of false reports about rape, assault, knifings and even murder at the school. No such incidents have taken place, they assured, "Many of us feel," the clergy said, "that so far the students of. Montclair High, with some re­

grettable exceptions, have shown

more maturity, more compassion,

more calmness-more overall re­

sponsibility - than some par­ ents."

WASHINGTON (NC) - A Catholic's conscience "de­ mands thal his action not violate the Church's authentic moral teaching," .according to Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle of Washington, in !lis latest statement on his dispute with Washington priests over the . issues of conscience and theories that have'been advanced ,Church teaching on birth clearly were not accepted by the control.

Peter's Authority Ignoll'ed In his instruction on conscience Cardinal 'O'Boyle maintained that "whatever assurances·of re­ spect for the Pope's teaching authority may be offered" by those holding the position that Catholics may decide the matter according to their own con­ llICiences would be in the same position as. if the encyclical had lIlever been. "Now, I fully accept true free­ dom of conscience and I have no desire to coerce anyone," the G:ardinal contin.ued, "But I do not accept an opinion concerning ­ <conscience that reduces the Church of Christ to the role of just one more advisor among many. "If as some say, a Catholic .hould not accept the moral ·teaching of the Church as bind­ Ing unless he himself sees it to !be so independently of the fact that the Church teaches it, then J[ think the Holy Father is being lI'egarded as nothing more than III wise and morally sensitive man, who deserves to be listened to only because of his human quali­ fications, The authority as~igned by Christ to Peter and his suc­ cessors- is ignored. New Theories 'In short, the situation seems to me to be this. Traditionally, Catholic' moral teaching has maintained that certain kinds of actions are wrong in every in­ stance. Examples include not only contraception, but also di­ rect abortion, adultery, fornica­ tion and various other acts. "Recently, some Catholics have adopted one or another theory that excludes the position tradi­ tionally and constantly:held by Catholics. "The controversy about con­ traception provided an occasion for the wide propagation of the new theories, all of which exag­ gerate individual private judg­ ment and overemphasize the im­ portance of the peculiarities of each situation," the cardinal con­ tinued.

O'Boyle .has twice' ex­ pressed his willingn~ss to defend. his strict interpretation of the encyclical regardless of possible differences with the inter-preta­ tions of other bishops. In a recent pastoral letter he said if other bishops "are teach­ ing in unison with the Catholie doctrine expressed by the Sec­ ond Vatican Council and, Paul VI, I am certain I shall have' no disagreement with them. How­ ever, if their teachinglll or any part of it amounts to, implies. or supports the position I here con­ demn, to that precise extent ]I shall be compelled to disagree with them."

Liturgy Reform 'Continued from Page One episcopal conferences themselves sometimes proceed ·along their way more than is just. It hap­ pens also that arbltrary experi­ ments are carried out or that rites are introduced which are in open conflict with the norms laid down by the Church. There. is no one who does not see that this way of acting not only gravely offends the conscience of the faithful, but is harmful in itself to the planned execution of the liturgical reform, which requires of all prudence, Vigil­ anCe and, above all, discipline.What even causes greater anx­ iety, said the Pope, is the opinion of those who maintain that ''li­ turgical worship must be divest­ ed of its sacred character and. hence they think erroneously that sacred objects and furnish­ ings should not be used -but are to be substituted with those which are in common or vulgar use. And some are so bold as to reach the point of not even re­ specting the sacred place itself of the (liturgical) celebrations. It must be said that ideas of this na,ture overthrow not only the genuine nature of the sacred li>turgy but also the true notion of the Catholic religion."

Lastly, Pope Paul warned against oversimplifying' the rites and stressed the need to keep liturgical "signs," He said that it is "one thing to eliminate from the sacred rites that which today seems to, be superfluous or an antiquated and useless carryover. Other Bishops' Views It is another thing to deprive OOThe encyclical, Humanae the lHurgy of thoSe signs and of v.itae, not only reaffir'med the that decorum which, if contain­ iIlOnstant teaching of the Church ed within just limits, ,are all en contraception, but it also im­ necessary for the Christian plicitly reaffirmed the tradi­ people so that they may take tional position that some kinds' in the arcane reality and the of ac'tions a're wrong in' every' truth which is'hiddim under the instance.

, A statement by Secretary Rob­ ert C. Weaver of the U. S.

"It is because this experimen­ tal project has already given us significant information and in­ sight about the national housing problem-even before the first shovel of dirt was dug. The test here will be of a new construc­ tion method that can cut costs, and give variety and individual­ ity, and provide housing that people can not only afford but housing they really want," the Cabinet member said. Weaver was unable to attend the ceremony 'because he was re­ quired to testify before a Con­ gressional committee in Wash­ ington. Assistant HUD Secretary H. Ralph 'Taylor substituted for him.

MILWAUKEE (NC)-Archbishop William E. Cousins 0f Millwaukee has cl'liticized the methods used by anti­ war protestors in recent demonstrations here. Tl)..e arch­ bishop's statement refered to an "unpalatable episode" at St. John's cathedral where He described Pope Paul VI, a group of protestors at­ tempted to take over the as the most outstanding disciple peace in current times who pulpit to express their views, of "has willingly risked antagoniz­

Writing in L'Osservatore Ro­ mano, the Vatican City news­ paper Cardinal Felici said that theologians exercise their office in the Church through a man­ date received-from ecclesiastical authority, namely the Pope and the bishops, He stated that some are not working within this structure. "There are some today who try to 'isolate' the teaching of the Pope. We ask ourselves: do these people act this way to di­ minish the value of the papal descision and therefore uphold their own ideas which are con­ trary to the encyclical or is it because they are not sufficiently informed on the facts?"

Cardinal Felici said that, if the aim is to diminish the value of the encyclical, it is "not very honest" of anyone who is sup­ posed to believe in the supreme magisterium of the Pope. He said tliose who are uninformed have no excuse. , "In fact, during and after the (Second Vatican) Council, the episcopate was in perfect con­ 'sonance_ with the teaching of the Pope. We have before us therefore a true, certain and au­ thentic teaching of the magis­ terium teaching authodty of the Church to which we must pay reverent homage in the form of external and internal assent and, act accordingly."

Richard A. (Dick) Par­ menter of Centerville is known as "the man with the golden toe" at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, where he is a member of the senior class and an outstanding fullback on the varsity football team. Dick, a former leading athlete at Barnstable High, is majoring in English at Bowdoin. He is a Dean's List'student and a mem­ ber" of Psi Upsilon Fraternity. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Parmenter of Holy Point Road in Centerville and is a member of St. Francis Xa­ vier parish in Hyannis. Dick is one of four Parment­ er children. His older brother, George Jr., is a 1968 graduate of Philadel­ phia College of Art and his younger brother Bob is a junior at Barnstable High. Fourteen­ year-old Jean, the only female off-spring contribution, is n freshman at Barnstable. lllIonalls Punting Recoralls One of Bowdoin's leading ath­ letes, Parmenter earned his freshman numerals in football, hockey and lacrosse during his initial year a~Maine's oldest college. The following year he broke six school punting records in­ cluding the record for the long­ est kick. He got off a quick kick against Colby College that traveled a fantastic distance of 78 yards.
