Fall River Boys' High Fund Leaders

The Solemn Opening of an intensive house-to-house campaign, de­ signed to crown with success the drive for the building of the Fall River Catholic Memorial High School for Boys, will be held next Thursday night, Nov. 7, at 8 o'clock in the Durfee Theatre, Fall River. Rev. Michael J. Pierce, S.J., of the Jesuit Seminary Guild, Boston, will.address the workers.

Bishop Connolly, who is now in Rome participating in the Ecumenical Council, will return for this meeting of the Gen­ eral Phase of the campaign being con­ ducted in the 36 parishes of the Greater Fall River Area.

Attending, in addition to the Most Reverend Ordinary, will be Most Rev. James J. Gerrard, D.D., V.G., Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese, the priests of the 36 parishes, Atty. John T. Farrell, Sr., lay chairman, vice-chairmen and the Memorial Gifts and General Phase men.

Father Pierce, the main speaker, en­ tered the Society of Jesus in August, 1928 and was ordained to the priesthood in June, -1940.

From 1942 to 1947, he served as Dean of Admissions and of the Freshmen and Sophomores at Boston College.

The next eight years were spent at Holy Cross College, Worcester, where he first taught Philosophy and then was appointed assistant to the President of the College.

Father Pierce is not a novice as far as Fund Raising Drives are concerned for in 1955 he was selected to head the campaign for a new Jesuit Novitiate at Shadowbrook. The campaign he 'headed was a tremendous success and thus all attending the Nov. 7th meeting will certainly be prepared by the speaker to make the General Phase of the Fall River Drive an overwhelming success.

Sanctity Is Normal Life, Council Fathers Insist Christians Be .Holy

By Rev. John R. FoIster st. Anthony of Padua - New Bedford With half of the second session already a matter of history the Bishops, after having discussed the place· of the la y man in the Church, now turned to an exposition of the holiness that is to characterize the Church of Christ.

The Bishops are re-af­ firming the ideals of the universal call given to all who wish to follow Christ. In Chapter IV now under scrutiny, the Bishops say, "Christ, Our Lord, is the source of all holiness and through His commandment of love, He sum­ monded all men to the fullness of Christian life in the fullness of grace, I.e., in the fullness of His ••• love."

This call extends to all men ­ all who glory in their Sainted Head. There are bishops, priests, laymen - married and single ­ all are called to sanctity. And in the measure in which their own lives reflect the very character­ istic trait of Christ, they will be living witnesses to Him be-· fore the world.

This holiness - always pre­ sent in the Church - is the pri­ mary work of all Christians in the world'no matter what their status. A simple explanation, ex­

position, a mere exhortation or

even a solemn decree of an ecu­ menical council can not make it effective. It is for the clergy and the laity to make the ideal known to the world, to give it a taste of this all-delightful union with _Christ, even while

In a lecture at the Jesuit operated University of Santa Clara, he described ideological diHerences and border pres­ sures between the two countries as "tinder out of which armed conflict stems." Armed conflict between R u s s i a and China should come as no surprise, Salisbury said, despite general public belief in a communistic monolith. . Salisbury based his predictioR on: (1) internal "contr-oversia­ lism" of communism as evi­ denced in such historical divi­ sions as Bolshevism-Menshivism and Stalinism-Trotskyism; and (2) "geopolitical considerations," such as Sino-Soviet border ten­ sions.

"It would be to our advan­ tage," he said, "to increase Sino­ Soviet disunity. It may breed more trouble in places like Laos, Cuba and Vietnam because the Russians may be forced ·to COlD­ pete with the Chinese in revolu­ tionary fervor."

The Archbishop says in a letter written from Rome and appearing in the current issue of the Witness, the archdiocesan newspaper, that "mixed parties, ballroom dancing" steady dating cannot be considered good for a 12, 13, 14, or 15-year-old."

"Children generally at these ages are emotionally unready for such experiences," he adds. ''Parents must not permit them." ..

"Going steady in 'these years is to be discouraged; in fact, parents should forbid it," he states. "Adolescence is a time for home gatherings and concen­ tration on studies, for wide ac­ quaintances and group activities.

It is a time of preparation :fur adult life; it is school time, not courting time."

Obliges Scientist To Pursue Truth

Former Israeli Consul Lauds

Pius Xl11s Help' to Jews

ZURICH (NC) - A former Israeli consul has said that Rolf Hochhuth's controversial play, "The Deputy," does "grievous injustice" to Pope Pius XII. Pinchas E. Lapide, who served from 1943 to 1945 as an officer in the Jewish Brigade which fought with the Allies in Italy and was the Vatican Information Office Israeli consul in Milan from located some 37,000 missing Jews in trying to reunite fami­ 1956 to 1958, published a re­ lies, report in the Zurich daily, Die Tat. Lapide now lives in Jeru­ salem.

The play blames the late Pope for failing to speak out against nazi persecution. of Jews during World War II. Lapide wrote that lQ2 con­ vents and 45 monasteries in Rome were made' available by Pius XII as a refuge for Jews threatened with deportation by the nazis.

Letter to Pope He quotes a letter written in October, 1944, by the Jewish in­ mates of a concentration camp in Ferramonti-Tarsia, Italy to Pius XII after the Allied troops had liberated the prisoners. The letter expressed "heartfelt grati­ tude for the solace and help ex­ tended by Your Holiness in the course of our internment - - * Your Holiness has courageously raised your voice to defend the rights of man - * - When we were threatened with depol'ta-' tion to Poland in 1942 you saved us from nearly certain death."

Religious Houses Thousands of persecuted Ital­ ian Jews were received by order of the Pope in the religious houses of Rome who hid them all through the war, Lapide wrote.

The largest number was re­ ceived in the convent of tbe Sisters of Notre Dame. Others found refuge in American, Ital­ ian, English, French, Spanish and even German convents and monasteries. As many as 8,000 Jews were hidden in the papal Summer residence of Castel­ gandolfo, he wrote. . At the same time, Lapide con­ tinued, the Pope spent nearly $5 million to aid the Jews, and

Freedom N'ecessory In Catholic Press LAFAYETTE (NC)-Freedom is necessary in the Catholic press to make its readers active and responsible participants in the life of the Church, Robert G. Hoyt, editor of the Catholic Re­ porter of the Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo" diocese, told the south '.:entral regional meeting of the Catholic Press Association.

"We who operate this press do not set ourselves over or apart from the authority of the Church. But as journalists we have a function which also has a certain sacredness: to report what we see, what is actually going on, and secondarily, to evaluate what <Ve see and to con­ tribute to the clarification of thought," Hoyt emphasized.

Catholic newspapers and mag­ azines have an obligation to show readers freedom in action, Hoyt noted, "It may not be too much to say that a new growth of freedom in the Catholic press is the key element in determin­ ing how rapidly the burst of vi­ tality we are witnessing in Rome will be diffused through­ out the worldwide Catholic community."

Gift to Center CHICAGO (NC) Loyola University's new $20 million medical center has received a $50,000 gift from the Ro!?ert R. McCormick Charitable Trust.

Ground for the center, a 300-bed hospital and a new medical school, will be broken next yea.r in Maywood, III

Public Protest Lapide quoted passages from the book, "Harvest of Hate," by the Jewish historian Leon Poli­ akov, which indicate that a public protest by Pius XII would only have made things worse for the Jews. According to the book, a protest by the Dutch Catholic Bishops led to the deportation of Jews converted to the Catho­ lic Faith, while a reprieve was given to Jews belonging to Prot­ estant Churches because those Churches refrained from public protest.

Interdict Lapide finally referred to a telegram Pius XII sent to the Hungarian Regent, Adm. Nico­ laus Horthy, on June 25, 1944, threatening an interdict if mass deportations of Jews under his jurisdiction were not halted im­ mediately. This measure saved the lives of many Jews of Hun­ gary. The late Pope John XXIII, while Apostolic Nuncio to' Bul­ garia, Lapide said, succeeded in saving almost all the Jews there under instructions from Pius XII, and Archbishop Andrea Cassulo, who was Apostolic Nuncio in Rumania, under simi­ lar instructions was abl1l to forestall numerous deportations of Jewish people residing in that country.

Back Bible Reading, Prayer Amendment MIAMI (NC)-The city com­ mission has endorsed a proposed constitutional amendment that would permit Bible reading and prayer recitation in public schools, "I am greatly concerned over the present trend in this country to eliminate God from our lives," Commissioner David T. Ken­ nedy said, "It has begun with the Supreme Court decision on Bible reading in the schools, and I fear that it will spread to our Congress, our courts and the armed forces if something isn't done."

He said copies of the resolu­ tion favoring the amendment will be forwarded to members of the Florida Legislature and to Congress.

Educators to Work For Fnir Bus Law COLUMBUS (NC) - Nearly 8,000 delegates to the fitst Ohio Catholic Educational Convention committed themselves to work for a law which extends bus transportation to all children in the state.

At the first state-wide Catho­ lic education meeting held in Ohio, delegates from six dio­ ceses passed a resolution "recog­ nizing our obligation,as citizens and educators of the State of Ohio, to work for the modifica­ tion of Ohio statutory laws which now discriminate and ex­ clude some children from pub­ lic welfare benefits - rights of children which have already been upheld by the United States Supreme Court."

Atty. Gen. William B. Saxbe of Ohio has ruled that local pub­ lic school boards lack legal pow­ er to give parochial school pupils transportation on tax-paid lichool buses.

Positive Approach Association Head Explains Catholic Attitude Toward Peace,

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Church d()es not oppose science, Pope Paul VI said in an address to members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, but in­ stead obliges the scientist to pursue the truth.

The Pope spoke to the scien­ tists in French as he received them in the Vatican's Consis­ torial Hall. His speech was ill response to the address of homage of Msgr. Georges La­ maitre, president of the aca­ demy.

"The religion we have the fortune to.. profess," said the Pope, "is in fact the supreme science of life. It is the best and highest teacher wherever there is life.

"Religion may seem to be absent, yet it not only allows but orders scientists to obey nothing but the laws of truth- * • It reminds the scientist at every step that thought is an instru­ ment for the conquest of truth and must be utilized with such respect for, its own laws that it will always have reference to a responsibility that engages it and transcends it."

During the audience, Pope Paul awarded a gold medal to Danish physicist Aage Bohr and in doing so urged that the award be understood as "an appeal to all those who are in a' position of responsibility that they will Jlot turn science, or better, J'b numerous practical applications, and particularly nuclear science and all its terrible uses into a danger, a nightmare, a means of . destroying human life."

SGYs Communists Exploit U prisinlg In Vietnam WASHINGTON (NC) ­ The second ranking member of the House Foreign Af­ fairs Committee said here Vietnam's Buddhist uprisings be­ gan as a legitimate religious pro­ test, but now are being exploited by communists.

Rep. Clement Zablocki, in an Interview the day after his re­ turn to the capital from a two­ week study mission to the Far East, had high praise for the reporting of Father Patrick O'Connor whose dispatches have appeared in the Catholic press.

The Wisconsin Democrat said the veteran Far East reporb~r of the N.C.W.C. News Service has been reporting "much more honestly" on the religious issue than most other sourees of news in Vietnam.

His conclusions, which he said

are largely shared by other mis­

sion members, include these on

the issue of persecution and

Catholicism:

There is no evidence of reli­ gious persecution of Buddhists.

It is erroneous to ,describe Vi­ etnam's government as "Catho­ lic" and to imply that the recent disturbances stem from Catholi­ icism.

First Protest Le~IUmalle The U. S. press corps in Saigon Mlems young and inexperienced, Mleking chiefly sensational sto­ ries, and failing to confirm many of the details. Visiting newsmen lent on special assignment get more accurate accounts on the aUeged religious issue.

He said the first Buddhi!lt pro­ test in Hue was a legitimate up­ rising over injustice. The gov­ ernment denied the right to fly a Buddhist flag, at a major event in Hue, although the papal flag had flown prominently at a Catholic ceremony only days before.

"Since then, the communists have exploited the issue," Za­ blocki said. "And the Reds have used this highly emotional issue effectively.

Police state 'We must remembel' that Vietnam is a police state, a situ­ ation that, has come ahe.ut be­ eause it is a state engaged in civil war. My own impression is that if the Vietnam government did not use what we consider 'barsh' measures against alleged Buddhist demonstrations, the eommunists could paralyze the oountry."

On the issue of a "Catholic government," Zablocki said that "nothing is more erroneous." He produced a statistic, also earlier reported by Father O'Connor, on the religious composition of gov­ fJl'nment leadership. It claims that less than 25 per cent of the IOverl)ll1ent's staff is Ca,tholic.

Bomb Detector Gets Trial at Airport' WASHINGTON (N C) - A. bomb detector develoP4~ by a nuclear engineer at the Catholic University of America Ul now on trial at Dulles International Air­ port here, checking the luggage of air travelers for poslIible ex­ plosives.

The device is the product of three years of work by Edward .Jordan of the Catholic Univer­ sity engineering school, under grants from the Atomic Energy Commission and the Federal Aviation Agency, and with as­ sistance from C.

Cites Canada's Indian Problem TORONTO (NC) - A senator asserted here that one of Can­ ada's most long-standing and baffling problems concerns Ca­ nadian Indians. . Sen. David A. Croll told mem­ bers of the Catholic Charities Council of Canada at their first biennial meeting the problem is unlike the situation regarding Negroes of South Africa and the United States.

"The colored peoples in these countries," he said, "are 'on the march', and their struggle for freedom and equality of oppor­ tunity seems destined to be crowned with success, because of the drive and determination impelling these minorities to de­ mand nothing less than justice for themselves and their chil­ dren."

But the Indians in Canada are far from "on the march," he said.

Ever Old, Ever New

The Work Continues

Ellenslol

The work of the Council goes on in Rome, and the Fathers of the Council undoubtedly feel themselves torn between two choices: the desire to allow full freedom of expression on every matter under consideration, and the desire to deal effectively with every topic and come to conclusions on all.

The Holy Spirit will surely guide the Council Fathers in their deliberations. And they themselves are more than willing to give their time and efforts and to put up with many inconveniences - not the least of which is being far separated from their flocks - to bring about the "updating" of the Church that will have repercussions for generations and even centuries to come.

The prayers of aU men of good will must continue for the Council and its participants. It would never do for Catholics to become blase about this activity which has 'captured the imagination of the world and has quickened the hearts of all men who love God and wish to see Him better known and served throughout the world.

PAVU REV. JAMES A. CLARK Assistant Director Latin American Bureau, NCWC

Ten million donars - thia is the amount that Catholic. of the United States annual,..

Iy provide for their Southern

Stewardship Almost ten million girls in the United States between the ages of thirteen and nineteen have an annual income of four and one-half billion dollars either earned or provided by parents. This they may spend as they wish. ' No wonder, then, that the merchants have their eyes on this age group and the advertising men are staying up nights figuring how to attract their dollars.

The bulk of the money goes for wearing apparel with the rest being spent for cosmetics, phonographs and re­ cords, portable radios and even cars.

The concTusion is that catering to this ten per cent of the nation's female population is worth while.

Parents of these persons should instruct their daugh­ ters on the right use of money. The young ladies themselves ought to be serious about what they have and spend. And here there is a very real place for the spirit of stewardship.

It is a good thing to let children understand at an early age that theirs is not so much the ownership as the stewardship of money. That the calls of others for help deserve a listening. That the poor, the sick, the less fortu­ nate have a claim upon the charity and the goods of those who are fortunate enough to have something of value.

Seeing selfishness in an adu,lt is a revolting encounter.

But vice begins in the young.

So amid all the discussion of how much money young people have to spend, there should be the note of their be~ng answerable for the wise use of money.

,Family Concern One of the intriguing aspects of the Catholic Faith 'to those who are not Catholics is the familiarity that Catho­ lics show to both the saints in Heaven and the souls in Purgatory. These two classes of souls are discussed as if ~ they have very real bearing on the lives of those on earth. ' As, indeed, they do.

That is the Catholic doctrine of the Communion of Saints.

Those on earth are striving to be saints - are at.­ tempting to walk in the footsteps of Christ and for this arduous life's work need the example and the assistance of the saints who have completed the course successfully.

And those here o~ earth, moved by the words, of the Lord that the merciful are blessed, are touched by the plight of those who have died and are in Purgatory re­ storing the imbalance brought about by their offenses against God. With reason these are called "poor souls." They are helpless to do anything for themselves and depend on the mercy of those who are on earth.

There is, then, something "homey" about the living showing respect for the saints and concern for the poor souls. This gives a picture of the family of God. In a family there is mutual help and solicitude, especially for those who are in need.

Not Enough Millions more come from Catholics in other countries around the world. Pope Paul VII

(less than a month after he be­

came pope) praised the gener­

osity of the many countries pro­ viding money and manpower for Latin America. He characterized the U. S. as having "proverbial generosity" and then spoke of Germany, Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Holland and Ire­ land..

And yet it is all not enough!

Still curious personal appea18 continue to come from Latin America. Here are a few recent requests as quoted in the NC news service.

One was for a man capable of managing beehives; another asked for 10,0000 worms, othen for burlap, for 250 pairs 01. shoes, for an airplane, for rakell and hoes, for a radio and record player (this last for ooth the old and young of the commuft­ ity). .

Standard Requests These odd requests are frollll religious seeking to train the Latin Americans to provide for themselves.

Of course we also receive standard requests: food for the seminaries, money to pay the mortgage on rectories and con­

vents about to be foreclosed,

for pots and pans, for scholar­

ships for seminarians. These are

a handful from a pocketful of

petitions.

Our bureau periodically sende

out "Victory Memo's" to those

who may be interested in an­ swering a small and specific request from Latin America.

These are too small for the large funds to take care of, but too big to be forgotten.

While our emphasis in this essay has been on the material, the need is equally severe for the q>iritual.

Sec 0 n d, . diseases of the others until he is ready;" and the oft-repeated thanks to those adding notes "wonderful experience". echo 1;() requests for the letter. It and re-echo throughout the let­

was like 'a steady stream of friends making ·"in person" visits to our house.· If only it w er e possible to answer every one! However, this was not an office pro­ j e ct. Itw a·s strictly home­ work. The first thousand .of you . (who indudec:l stamped, . self­ addressed en­ velope) should have copies by now. We are having more copiet! made.

Our daughter Mary; who is at our house with baby Tim while husband Tim is on overseas duty with the Navy, helped enor­ mously: f 0 I din g, stuffing, mailing, .setting aside letters di­ rected to the· writer of this column.

As expected, more requests were from mothers of young children. Others, from grand­ mothers asking that letters be sent their married children; from a nun for use in senior religion class "where girls study mar­ riage quite intensively;" from priests who do marriage coun­ .eling. (One of these quips, "I am not a mother; 'Father' ill my title.")

One from a nurse on a mater­ nity ward, to show to young mothers on her floor - carrying the message straight 00 head­ quarters! One from a dietitian who confesses she "needs a push from a mother who has learned the value of breast feeding a baby." She goes on, "In our con­ tacts with motllers-to-be, I hear 'My doctor says I don't have 00 breast feed the baby,' etc., etc."

One mother of 11 tells us she nursed "all but the last, and 1 would have nursed _her too but for the obstinacy of Ii nurse· ill the hospital." _ Opposition or non-interest II reported on the part of those ill the medical profession. For in­ stance, another mother of six nursed all 01. hers and found it "a thrilling thing" "though "the first was leasfsuccessful becauSe I didn't have the experience nor ·e nco u rag em. e n ~ to follow through. Wish there had been La Leche League then~ t17 YeaI'lI ago).

And from another part of the country: "Doctors have told me that 1 am lucky to have the kids and nursing them is not that im­ portant. I think it is. Please send letter." Again: "Despite protests of friends and somewhat modern minded in-laws and a bottle­ minded doctor, I went old-fash­ ioned, back to nature and close to God in breast feeding my. baby." ''Makes you feel so close to your child"; "Gives him a grand chance in life"; "Shields the baby from picking up childhood

ters from mothers, and grand­ mothers.

ODe Doctor's View Along this line, a press-re­ ported meeting of the Maryland . Dr. Patrick P. McLoughlin of Academy of General· Practice, brings to light a suggestion from Philadelphia. Commented the doctor, the high p.umber of ove~­ weight people· in the United States might stem from giving infants· too much nourishment.

Mother's milk is still the most perfect nourishment for infants, this doctor said, because infants· are not able to absorb the cal­ cium and protein in co.w's milk to the same degree they can absorb the nutrients in mother'. milk.

"The lady" who wrote the letter which so many of you have requested, Mrs. P.W. of Des Plains, nI., seems to be :not alone in her -judgment.

The "Dear Reader" form of address went out with the bustle, but we cannot refrain from re­ viving it just this once: Dear Readen, we loved hearing from you!

One precious item remains in a letter - the address of the sender has gone in the above­ mentioned wholesale mailing.

It is from Mrs. L.C. who has a prayer ''For the Grace to Nurse a Child." Here's hoping Mrs. L.C. read this column and be kind enough to send along the prayer, and agaia include her address.

VATICAN CITY (NV)-A letter from the Holy See to the supe­ riors of the Poor Clares has said that Pope Paul VI is thankful for the order's 700 years of "bursting vitality."

The Poor Clares, cloistered nuns, were founded by St. Fran. cis of Assisi and St. Clare in 1212.

Amleto Cardinal Cicognant.

Papal Secretary of State, wrote to the order's superiors: As the seventh centenary of the promulgation of the bull 'Beata Clara' with which Pope Urban IV gave the daughters of St. Clare their rule··· .. drawing near, the Pope is happy to express his paternal and heartfelt approval of the silent, vast and praying family of the Poor Clares, spread all over the world·· • Considering the fruits of sanc­ tity and grace that the rule hal produced in so many centurie. of bursting vitality ... the Vicar of Christ thanks the Giver of all good things for having given His Church the humble and' ardent group of faithful followers of St., Clare's program of life."

Pope Paul Receives Lutheran Leader VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pas. tor Martin Niemoeller, president of the Lutheran Church of Hesse State, Germany, was received in private audience here by Pope Paui,VI. The Lutheran leader was also invited by Augustiri Cardinal Bea, S.J., president of the Secre­ tariat for Promoting Christian Unity, to attend one' of the Ecu­ menical Council's general meet­ ings as a guest of the secretariat.

, ' Eliot in his message recalled that several years ago Pope John XXIII commanded a special per':' formance of an opera based on his play about the martyrdom' of 51. Thomas a Becket, "Murder in the Cathedral," and that the, late Pope commended his service, to the Christian Faith in writing the play.

The poet said the cause of ecumenism had always been close to his, heart but cautione,d against "premature attempts" at reunion between any two Chris­ tian bodies which might only serve to separate them still further from the rest. ' "Reciprocal understanding must be our first aim," he said, and "common action where com­ mon action· 18 possible and needed to combat the forces :01 Anti-Christ." " Unity Longinl' Eliot said "the gladness with which Christian,· churches of every description recognize the activities of Pope John testifies to a universal longing for unity."

Father Francis Sweeney, S.J., of Boston College said in' a tri­ bute to Eliot that it would be difficult to exaggerate the im­ pact, of his Christianity on the academic world.

"Here was a man who had gotten rid of all illusion and then, still eompletely disillu­ sioned, had come on the Chris­ tian Faith as beyond illusion," Father Sweeney said. "He made the possibility of Christian be­ lief a living issue again on the campus. And he did it at much personal cost."

Eliot became a convert to An­ glicanism in 1927, the same year in which he became a British subject. Born in St. Louis in 1888, he studied at Harvard Un­ iversity, the Sorbonne in Paris and Oxford University iD Eng-, lapeL

Father LaFarge Discusses .Advantages of Old Age

By

Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. I

ROME - The Church is holy. We say this daily in the Creed, but here in Rome we see it in action. As an American bishop I often desire, as did the woman in the Gospel, to touch the robes of some of our missionary. and persecuted brothers in the epis­ copacy. Almost aU of the more than 2,200 successors of the Apostles are in St. Peter's at least half an bour before Mass begins.

Many are at the altar of St. Pius X and the tomb of John XXIII, but most of them are at the altar of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Every morning three priests hear their confessions while many who cannot be accommodated on kneeling benche~ kneel on the marble floor. .

. By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

Father John LaFarge, S.J., is now an old man, 83 in fact. He has written a book entitled Reflections on Growing Old (Doubleday. $2.95) which can be recommended not only to his contemporaries but also to practically every other age group, elementary school pupils excepted.

Plan Hospital Chaplains Institute

'Working to Beat Hell!'

Good Title for Column

WASHINGTON (N C) - A pastoral institute for hospital chaplains will be, held at the Catholic University of America ,starting Monday, Nov. 11.

It is under the direction of Dr. .Tohn R. Cavanagh of Washing­ ton, D.C., and sponsored jointly by the university, the Guild of

By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. Often, as I ride trains, I find outlining the next book er article or talk a pleasant way of passing the time. Some­ times, however, especially right after finishing a retreat er some major address, the sound of the train clicking along the rails makes only dozing wrong he does is the only right; Beem pleasant or even pos­ in the pleasure that looks so sible. At times like this, it is thoroughly satisfying and which relaxing and fun to think of will turn out to be a disappoint­

"

titles-titles for books and ar­ ticles and talks, and, yes, even a title for this column. "Saint or Square?" oc­ curred as a pos­ sible title, since that is really the only choice life holds out, and it is also the so 1 e question this column will ask, no matter in how many .forms it may do so. Besides, the clickety-clack of the train seemed to be asking, / "Saint or Square?", "Hip, or Drip?", "Cool or Cube?"

And they all seemed' good enough titles-if anybody could understand them. The trouble was only the saints, the hip and cool would dig these terms, .and the drips and squares and cubes would miss the whole point. ' Sheer J07 "I'll Die. Laughing!" seemed like a possibility if rightly un­ derstood. Probably too many people would misunderstand, thinking tlie title suggested that life is just one big unimportant joke, and not understanding that, while it is an enormous joke, it is also enormously important.

It is very funny that God, be­ ing such as He is, would offer us a share in His nature, such as we are. The fact of Creation itself-and some of its products, too, are hilarious, and if we live our lives properly, we really should die laughing, be. eause in that case we'll be step­ ping out of this struggle we've misnamed "living," right into real life, into eternal, unadul­ terated happiness.

And that's nothing to be sad about, but everything to. laugh aloud about, out of sheer JOy. Defeat Satan But as the train clicked on, and I got more and more drowsy, a new title gradually began to drum itself into what was left of my consciousness. Life's real job.

Is the defeat of Satan, the escape from hell.

The idea of any column ought to be to get people' to recognize Satan and his subterfuges. And I thought of an expression I had .heard often enough, under vary­ ing circumstances, true, but whose literal significance I had never grasped.

"Working to beat hell," the train seemed to say, "working to beat hell."

Recognize ,Hell Of course I'm working to beat hell, I thought, and so are all of us. And the first step In that vic. tory has to be one of knowledge --eoming to recognize hell when we see it.

We have to spot hell In the loudmouth who shouts that the

ing fake; in the reversed vl\Jues surrounding us - where sex is the only interest, money the only proper goal of life, and pride the only normal human attitude.

In working to beat hell, it's necessary to spot these phoneys for the fakes they are, and to recognize the only real values there are: the humility and pov­ erty of spirit which lead to eter­ nal pleasure.

Purpose of Being Yes, we're working to beat hell, all right, I thought sleepily, but there's "much more to life than this negative side, too­ we're working to get to God, the only purpose of our entire be­ ing, without whom we would end up eternally and completely frustrated in every part of our , nature and supernature.

"Working To Beat Hell." The FOR BEATIFICATION: more the phrase clacked along with the train, the more I liked Father Leonard Murialdo, Italian founder of the Pious it as a title. It suggested the at­ tempt to put teen-agers wise to Society of St. Joseph of a few of the traps they could Turin, will be beatified Sun­ fall into, and to expose some of day in St. Peter's Basilica, the phoney ideas they are bom­ Rome. ,The new beatu8 died barded with.

Cathonc Hospital Needs Improved Public Relations

THE ANCHO'1Thurs., Oct. 31, 1963

Layman Teaches At Gregorian University

VANCOUVER (NC)­ The publie has a false con­ cept of Catholic hospitals be­ cause the hospitals are apa­ thetic about their public rela­ tions programs, the president of the Catholic Hospital Conference of British Columbia said here.

Sister Mary Michael, who is also administrator of St. Mary's Hospital, told the conference's annual meeting there is H a strong conviction in the minds of the general public that the Catholic hospital is still private­ ly owned, privately operated and privately financed."

"This erroneous impression is probably due to our own iner­ tia," she stated. "We have fail~d to tell our story to the publlc at large and to the community in which we live."

Expanding Needs She stressed the need for a public relations program that would bring "to the attention of the general public the expanding needs of the Catholic hospital and the corresponding need fur financial assistance, especially in the area of raising money for capital funds."

Catholic hospitals in British Columbia receive grants from the provincial government but must themselves raise two-thirds of the capital needed to build or expand.

The hospital conference's ex­ ecutive director, Father A. L. Danis, O.M.I., urged that the philosophy of the Catholic hos­ pital be brought before the pub­ lic.

A Catholic hospital is distinc­ tive because it gives "Christ­ centered care," he said, and "there is a danger that in a so­ ciety which is becoming more and more materialistic, this dis­ tinctive character of the Catho­ lic hospital will be lost."

Bishops Urge Christian Equality

Bishop Tracy called the atten­ tion of the Council Fathers to the fact that the most widespread form of inequality, racial ine­ quality, was omitted in the text.

The reason, he felt, was twofold: Latin has no word for race as such, since the Romans did not make this distinction among men; and the racial problems are limited to certain areas.

Race Prejudice

The southern bishop proposed that the Latin word stirpes, which literally means trunk or stem, but which can be used to DETROIT (NC) - No Catho­ lic, in good conscience, can sign mean origin or race, be inserted in the text.

u p 0 n. Archbishop Lawrence Sheehan of Baltimore asked that the phrase "unhappy separation of Church and State", which ap­ pears in the draft, be struck out and that the whole question of

the Catholic Church and civil society be treated in a complete manner later in the council.

The American bishops feel that the separation of Church and State in the United States has not been at all unhappy, and that it has contributed much to the growth of the Church there.

Their view is shared by a num­ ber of Council Fathers.

Until now the Official Church

teaching has been that some type of union between the Cath­ olic Church and the State is the ideal. Under such a set-up, the rights of the Church are pro­ tected by the State, whereas the religious demands of non-Catho­ lic religions do not enjoy such a protection of the law.

Toward Clarification There is a strong sentiment in the Church today, however, that this union of the two societies is by no means ideal, and may lead in many cases to a restriction of the Church's freedom of action.

It was the hope of Protestan1s especially that this question 01.

Church-State would be given a full-dress treatment by tile Council, since it is a cause of sharp eontroversy in many paris of the world.

.St. Francis Residence

Hence Archbishop Sheehan's proposal is a step in the direction of a full clarification of the issue and was warmly welcomed in many quarters.

The third theme of this week, which appeared most strikingly in an address by Bishop Ernest J. Primeau of Manchester, N.H., was that of Christian hope in the apostolate. Dec I a r i n g "ego loquor pro laieis" (I speak for the laity), Bishop Primeau stated that the laity are ex­ pecting a strong statement re­ garding the role of the layman in the Church.

The laity are not to be re­ garded as silent and passive sheep, he said, and it is a fact of experience that in many fields members of the laity are much more competent than the clergy or hierarchy. He also empha­ sixed the obligation of bishops to recognize the right of intel­ lectuals to freedom of investi­ gation and to intellectual initia­ tive.

At week's end, many people here in Rome were hoping that there would be other such "American weeks" in the Coun­ cil.

ROME (NC)-The first Amer­ ican layman to teach at Rome's Gregorian Uunversity, Jesuit­ administered institution special­ izing in the training of priests, has begun his lectures there.

He is Dr. Frank J. Ayd Jr. of Baltimore, a psychiatrist and an internationally known lecturer.

He is believed to be the third layman to teach at the univer­ sity. He is the first teacher there to be allowed to lecture in English.

Dr. Ayd's course deals with the knowledge of mental illness that is useful for confessors and spiritual directors.

"I am not trying to make psy­ chiatrists out of priests," Dr. Ayd said in explaining his course.

Psychiatric Treatment "I am trying to help them rec. ognize the more common types of mental illness they will en­ counter. They should be equip_ ped to know which ones they themselves can help and which ones should be handed over to a psychiatrist.

"They also should know some­ thing about the various kinds of psychiatric treatment. Priests are often consulted by families of mentally ill persons when a psychiatrist recommends a spe­

cial form of treatment. Families

want to know whether that kind·

of treatment is moril11y or even medically advisable."

Vatican Honors .Relief Official

Sees Dio(Conate Help to Church

NEW YORK (NC)-The Holy See has conferred the title of Knight Commander of the Order of St. Sylvester on Leslie Kirk­ ley, non-Catholic director of the OXford Committee fur Famine Relief, a British voluntary relief agency.

PALM BEACH (NC) - Res­ toration of the diaconate will help the Church in Latin Ameri­ ea, Bishop Alfred E. Mendez, C.s.C., of Arecibo, Puerto Rico, said here.

The Bishop told a district con­ vention of Serra International, organization which helps in the education of young men for the p r i est h 0 Q d, that in Latin America there is only one priest for every 8,500 Catholics.

The priest shortage in Latin A:merica will not be alleviated !or many years, Bishop Mendez said, and because of this he i9 ill favor of having deacons, either married or unmarried, help in the performance of wme priestly duties.

A' proposal for restoration of the permanent diaconate has been approved at the Second Tatican Council.

""The Church of Christ, pil­ grim and penitent in a sinful world, is holy not 90 much in het" texts or teachings as in the holy lives of her children, old and young-both possessed of the love of God and the grace of Christ alive in our midst," he began. '"The work of Pope' John XXIII," said Cardinal Suenens ill summary, "appears as a three-fold grace: a grace for the faithful of the Catholic Church, a grace for all Christians, a grace for all men of good will.

"His life was a grace for the faithful above all because of the cou~cil. This council he con­ voked. This was the culmination 01. his pastoral activity. Thanks to John XXIII, God has once again visited His People. Christ the Savior sends His Spirit to us ali to teach them in His Name all truth and to explain to them what before they could not bear nor fully grasp.

"Pope John's life is secondly a grace for all Christians * * * This climate (for full and visible unity) we owe to h~s charity and his sincerity. .To his charity which opened the hearts of men to dialogue * * * Be~er than any­ one else, John knew that the search· for Christian unity does not proceed along the path of displomati9 negotiations but looks however to the depths of men's spiritual lives. We grow in closeness * * • only according to the 'Very measure each one al­ lows himself to be taken over by the life and charity of Christ·· • "Every effort for union-by t'be very fact that it is an act of charity-has in' itself a uniUYe value. That is why," the Cardl­ aal conclUded, "our late Pope'. life was also a grace for the world. John XXIII," he said, "was the Pope of Dialogue· • • Men recognized his voice, the voice speaking to them of God but also of human brotherhood, of a re-establishment of Social Justice, of a peace to be estab­ lished throughout the whole world. They heard a challenge tea their better selves and they raised their eyes toward this man whose goodness made them think of God. For men, whether they know it or not, are always in search of God and it is the reflection of God that they sought in the countenance of this old man who loved them with the very love 01 Christ."

Kirkley's organization has col­ laborated with the Catholic agency for a number of years and has raised funds for CRS­ NCWC projects in many coun­ tries, according to an agency spokesman.

social class or sex." The Amer­ ican Bishop simply wanted the schema to officially also include no discrimination because of race. / There was question as to . whether there existed some di­ vision among the American Bishops since Bishop Tracey only represented 147 of them.

However, this was officially de­ nied at a Press Conference. The Bishop stated that he was actu­ ally speaking in the name of the entire American Hierarchy. He had been so authorized to do so at the American Hierarchy's meeting of Oct. 21. The "147 Bishops of the U. S." mentioned in the council press office com­ .muniquereferred only t<> the actual signatures of the bishops affixed to the petition which was attached to his speech. .

to teach the need for holiness and do so effectively. Therefore, the rich meaning of Pope Paul's impressive beatification rites that not only put the Church's doctrine of holiness on paper or on record but displayed it dra­ matically for the entire world 10 see and appreciate.

Chief in its exposition was perhaps the moving talk of Car­ dinal Suenens during the cele­ bration of the 5th Anniversary of the Election of Pope John XXIII. If there is a figure whom we all realize sincerely lived a :In all things it surely was good holy life and acted accordingly Pope John. (Cf. article, p. one). .

Council Lag Maq,y of the Fathers have given expression to a rampant fear that suddenly the Council bas run out of inspiration. There are important questions of both IUbstance and procedure that remain unsolved.

The results of debate on the '"four questionsu (the collegial­ . ity of bishops; the restoration of the deaconate as a permanent iStatus; etc.) were to be formu­ lated and presented fur the Fathers' vote. But these have never been so presented. , Meetings held by the Council officials in trying to put some erder in· the many suggestions offered only succeeded in drawing suspicion to themselves.

The act~al problem was best voiced by Bishop Wright when be stated that a year ago the . entire ~hurch (the entire world?) .

Insisted that there be great freedom in debates.

A streamlined council would be much more efficient but it would be at the price of freedom· • year ago and we welcomed it.

Now we're paying for it ••• I can repor,t that the Council is proceeding with admirable free­ dom and with the efficiency oonsistent with such freedom."

The meetings of the Cardinal Moderators with other officials ere doubtlessly attempts to find some way to have the Council both efficient and free.

New Procedures When the question of the role of the Virgin Mary came up for debates, there was a wide gulf that separated many of the I'athers. Some wanted Our Lady to be treated in a special schema and there possibly mention the other privileges that Tradition has attributed to her-a unique redemptive role; a unique co­ redemptrix with her son, etc.

However, other Fathers, possibly more mindful of the presence of the observers and the purpose for which the Council was called, wanted these' questions ' not disapproved of but rather to simply remain a part of Tradi­ tion and the Blessed Virgin treated as the Cr<>wn and Climax of the Church-Mother of the Church - and this within the . schema on the Church.

Instead of, a long line of speakers giving each their own individual points of view-often repetitious - Cardinal Ottaviani designated two other Cardinals: Cardinal Santos who would speak fur one side and Cardinal Koenig for the other. This was thought of as a new procedure particularly well received by the Fathers.

On Tuesday, the Fathers voted to have examination of Our Lady's role in our lives treated -not as a separate point-but as the culminating treatment of the Church.

Race Bishop Tracy "representing 147 U. S. Bishops" brought up the racial question. The ·schema already referred to non-discrim­ ination between Church mem­ bers because of "national origins,

Church-State The American Bishops also impressively intervened in sec­ onding the position and separa­ tion of Church-State as original­ ly ,stated by a Polish Bishop.

They deplored reference of separation of Church. and State as an "unfortunate situation" but pointed out that in those coun­ tries where such does exist, the situation is far from unfortunate.

Archbishop Sheehan seeming­ ly disagreed but it was at first glance only. He stated that this was such an important question; that it should not be lightly re­ ferred to here in the schema on the Church but instead given an important emphasis when the Fathers would treat of the topic "the Church and the World."

John Howard Griffin, author of the book "Black Like Me," said at an informal gathering: "There has been a silence by re,. ligion and the silence tends to condone what l).as been going on."

In his book, Griffin, who chaflged' his color temporarily with the aid of a dermatologist, gives an account of his life three years ago as a "Negro" in the South· Griffin acknowledged t hat more and more religious leaders' are heeding the plea for racial equality, but added that some Negroes feel this is a frantic ef­ fort by the churqhes to catch up

In negotiations with whites, Griffin continued, an appeal to religious motives is less effective than an emphasis on the eco­ nomic loss caused 'by segregation or a prediction of horrible con­ sequences resulting from a non­ integrated society.

"Appeals to morality don't ~et you anywhere," he said.

The Negro is sick of the white man's apathetic or, at best, pa­ ternalistic attitUde, he said.

"He knows," Griffin stressed, that the 'white man is going to cheat down to the very end."

WASHINGTON (NC), - The senate has passed, 65 to 10, res­ olutions to grant Federal char­ ters to the Catholic War Veter­ ans and the Jewish War Veter­ tans. The legislation goes to the House.

The Senate rejected the argu­ ment of Sen. Bourke Hicken­ looper of Iowa who said the billl "create segregation based upon, religion."

Hickenlooper 'waged a one­ man war against the legislation.

The two resolutions passed the Senate Aug. 22 without debate, .' bu~ on Hickenlooper's insistence' the chamber agreed to call them back from the House.

The Iowa lawmaker said he opposed giving the recognition' of a Federal chapter to any specialized groups.
