Diocese a:nd Curia Ties" Unde~r Study

By Rev. Jrohn R. FoIster st. Anthony of Padua - New Bedford

In their 60th General Meeting the Vatican Councll's assembled Bishops tackled a new schema. They had closed debate on "Holiness in the Church" and awaited the draft eoncerning Our Lady which they had earlier voted to debate within the discussions on the that faculties, up until Church. Now and then dUll'- ,tions now reserved to the Holy See mg the discussions, time out and granted through the Congrewould be taken to review ad- gations, be directly delegated to justments suggested in amendment form concerning the Liturgy whose ~hema is nearly ready for the HoI y Father's approval and promulgation. The new schema up for discussion was ealled "Bishops and the Government of Dioceses." Its first chapter deals with the relations of individwl1 bishops with the Roman Congrl~­ lations of the Curia.

The Chapter is divided in1to bee parts: (1) recommeinda-

Growing Interest More and more shut-ins are enjoying the weekly television Mass on WTEV (Channel 6), Rev. John F. Hogan, New Bedford and Cape Cod Catholic Charities Director reported today.

Those people who are confined to their homes and are anable to get to their churches on Sunday are 'more than pleased with this latest diocesan undertaking, said Fr. Hogan who is in charge of the television Mass program.

"It is a great spiritual comfort to be able to offer their swEferings alon~ with the Mass," Fr. Bogan said.

the Bishops;, (2) review of the practices of the Congregations in their work 'with the world's bishops; (3) a suggestion that 'bishops representing national hierarchies be named by the Pope as members or consultors of the Roman Congregations.

'Other subjects to be treated in this schema are: relations b~ tween Bishops and Exempt Reli. gious Orders, the role of the Holy Office, the granting of legislative power to national episcopal conferences, etc.

It was a general feeling among the Fathers that although the freedom of .expression for the 'bishops had to be guaranteed, something had to be done to speed up the debates.

Cardinal Doepfner, one of the Moderators (Directors) asked that those Fathers who thought they had to speak - especially those speaking on matters concerning which the Fathers had closed debate-be brief and to the point. Time limit for speeches was reduced to 8 minutes per Father. The Moderators would stop (and did) the Fathers if they were repetitious.

Something new was introduced when the Moderators asked the Fathers to ,vote concerning what they thought of matters coming up for discussion. This was a guide-vote which would afford the Fathers a knowledge of the maj ority feeling and also to serve as a guide to the Theological Commissi'ln in its preparations of the matter for future diSCUSSions.

The Fathers showed that they thought (1) that Episcopal Consecration was the highest grade of the Sacrament of Orders; (2) that a ,bishop in union with all the bishtlps and Pope, thus belongs to the college of bishops; Turn to Page Six

They will be: Rt. Rev. Alfred Bonneau, Notre Dame; Rt. Rev. William Harrington, Holy Name Rt. Rev. Raymond T. Considine, St. William's and Propagation of the Faith Director; and Rt. Rev. Henri A. Hamel, St. Jean the Baptiste.

The lay chairmen from the 36 parishes have also been invited

by Bishop Connolly to occupy places of honor with Atty John T. Farrell Sr., general chairman, and the priest moderators of the campaign.

Pre - meeting entertainment will consist of a organ recital

by Mr. Wilfrid Belisle and Mr. Normand Boule will open the evening's program singing the Star Spangled Banner.

During the program, the Bish. op Feehan High School Glee Club of Attleboro will offer a few vocal selections.

Suggests White Christians Join Negro Protest Move MENLO PARK (NC) - Thomas Merton said here that unless white Christians join the Negro protest movement it may lose its non-violent Christian quality and become a "violent and chaotic fight for power."

Holy Father Is Grateful For Charity Pope Paul VI today expressed his personal thanks to Bishop Connolly for the kind response of his faithful for the August Peter's Pence collection. The Holy Father's expre s s ion was conveyed to the Ordinary by Amleto G. Cardinal Cicognani, Papal Secretary of S ta t e who served as Apostolic Delegate in the nation's capital in, Washington for 25 years before he jNined the Roman Curia.

Merton, a renowned al,lthor who is Father Louis, a Trappist monk of Gethsemani (Ky.) Abbey, writes his comments in the current (Christmas) issue of Ramparts, a Catholic journal published five times a year here.

The Merton article is entitled "Letters to a White Liberal." It appears in an issue devoted to racial matters and dedicated to the four children murdered in a Birmingham church bombing who, the magazine said, "perished while in the presence of God." Merton reads the Christian message of nonviolent Negro protest movement this way: "In simple and Christian terms, I would say that the message is this: white society has sinned in many ways. It has betrayed Christ by its injustice to races it considered 'inferior' and to countries which it colonized.

"In particular it has sinned against Christ in its lamentable injustices and cruelties to the Negro. The time has come when both white and Negro have been granted, by God, a unique and momentous opportunity.

"We have this opportunity because the Negro has taken the steps which made it possible. He has refused to accept the ineq. uity and injustice of white discrimination * * * But this is only the begillning. N-ow Ule white

Atonement, he said, must con. sist of "a complete reform" of the social system which permits injustice and Negro leadership of "this ~ork of reorganization."

Cause for Optimism Priest Thinks Time Ripe for Christian rog'ress in Orient owASHINGTON (NC) - The time may be ripe for increased Christian penetration of oriental cultures, an international con­ gress of Catholic university ed­ ucators was told here. :~ather John Labrador, O.P., redor of the Uni\i'ersity of St. . Th.omas in Manila, the Philip­ pines, cited the current "revolu­ tionary tempo" in the orient as a cause for optimism about Ct.ristianity's prospects. _ 'Fhat part of the world is UD­ dergoing "a relaxation of social pr>essures adverse to Christian­ it~~' and "for this reason, the fU':ure seems promising," he told th<~ sixth triennial meeting of th,e International Federation of.

One day of the meeting was devoted exclusively to the theme of "Western Christian Culture and Oriental Civilizations," Serious Obstacles Father Lebrador read the leadoff paper in the day's discus­ sion. Altoough optimistic about the future, he, like the other speakers, acknowledged that there are serious obstacles to Christian influeIli:e in oriental countries.

As far as Asia la concerned, he said, a major problem is that Christianity even today is reo garded by some as "the spiritual aspect of imperialism or colo­ nialism."

For this reason, he said, Chris­ tianity has 'been opposed as a. "foreign and anti-national phenomenon."

GARRISON (NC) - The .Friars of the Atonement said here they expect to see next year the biggest ob­ servance yet of the period of Jan. 18 to 25 as a time of special prayer for Christian unity.

The Franciscan community, which has promoted the prayer movement among Catholics since 1909, predicted that in addition to broader Catholic observance of the "Chair of Unity Octave," there will be increased partiCi. pation by other Christians.

Protestants and Orthodox, the community said in a statement, will mark the week under a variety of names such as "Janu­ ary Octave," "Week of Prayer for Unity" and "Octave of Prayer for Unity."

French Bishops Hear Woman ROME (NC) - A precedent was established by the French Hierarchy when at their recent general meeting here they in­ vited a woman to address them.

She is Miss Monique Lahaye, president of the Catholic Women Workers League in France and a distinguished F r e n c h lay leader.

This was the first time a woman addressed this important gathering. One - hundred and twenty French Bishops, Arch­ bishops and Cardinals were pre­ sent at the meeting at qua:rters of the French church of Home, St. Louis.

Problems Another speaker on that same occasion was Jacques Salinas, who heads the French Catholic 'Workingmens' I e a g u e. Both ~eakers discussed the problems faced by lay people in the Church, a topic in the fore:Eront of council debates. They gave detailed information about psy­ ohological and practical aspects Of the tasks· faced by both women and men engaged iq fac­ tory and other manual jobs, es­ pecially in .regard to their rela­ tions with trade unions, and the hopes they entertain as to what the council might do to promote lay Catholic action. .

Miss Lahaye was reported to have been quite excited 00­ GaUse of the unique distinction.

"So as to avoid making any mistakes," she said after the meeting, "rather than speaking without notes, as I usually do, I read my manuscript. I.am glad everything went well."

He said the Catholic press was in a good position to do some­

thing about this situation, pre­ suming that the Church was in­ terested in Protestants reading the Catholic press, and that the Catholic press was interested in treating more than just Catholic news.

Rev. Wesley C. Baker, pastor, First Presbyterian church, San Rafael, addressed an editorial session of the twO-day Pacific regional convention of the Catholic Press Association.

Praising the ecumenical spirit among Catholics, he said he had never expected the "relationship I now enjoy."

Baker pointed to areas where the press could watch develop­ ing Catholic-Protestant agree­ ment: 1) common witness in the mission areas; 2) common effort for racial justice; 3) common scholarship in Biblical studies.

Inherited Myths Areas of disagreement, he said, include family planning and public aid to parochial educa­ tion. He said the Catholic posi­ tion in these ma tters often is not explained satisfactorily, but rather "handed down."

He asked Catholic journalists to remember Protestant sensi­ tivities and to give Protestants credit, "even just a line" for their pioneering in the ecumen­ ical field.

He said that Protestants have inherited "myths" about Roman Catholics that are going to be ha·rd to completely eradicate­ but the ecumenical council was already ending some.

Raubinger said his office had not received any complaints of this nature but promised to look into the charges.

The charges were made by a group of 10 Protestant ministers at a meeting' with Gov. Richard J. Hughes and State Education Commissioner Frederick M. Rau­ binger.

Among the complaints was one that authorities at one school had the Bible removed from the school library. Another com­ plaint charged a teacher at an­ other school had forbidden a stu­ dent to write about religious be­ liefs in an autobiographical es­ say. A third charge was that the

Gov. Hughes asked the minis­ ters to present alternatives to the banned prayer practices.

Suggestions that classes in the Bible be held before each school day or that instruction about religion be given during school hours met with the tentative approval of Acting Atty. Gen. Theodore 1. Motter who said such classes must be "educa­ tional" in purpose and not a subterfuge for religious instruc­ tion.

Schedule Interfaith Student Meeting on Racial Question WASHINGTON (NC) - Cath­ lie, Protestant and Jewish col­ lege groups will join in a four­ day Student Leadership Con­ ference on Religion and Race to be held here starting Sunday, Nov. 17. , Some 250 students from 90 schools are expected to attend the conference, said to be the first interfaith meeting of its . kind ever held on the student level.

They will rep res e n t the B'n~i B'rith Hillel Foundations, Natwnal Newman Club Federa­ tion, National Federation of Catholic College Students, and National Student Christian Fed­ eration.

A statement on the eonference issued by student leaders said: "While the university has as its purpose the deeper transfonna­ tion of the character of those in its charge and the truthful pur­ suit of learning, we recognize

He said it would be "an :inex­ eusable distortion of the general . flactual situation" to speak of the 'winful condition" of movies.

But he said he is conv:inced that the general public harbors , '"widespread criticism" of the Jndustry.

"Ironically," he said, "the rea_ son is to be largely found h the -ftry instrument upon which you rely to sell your products; I mean, of course, your advl~tis- f

Outgr{)wtb of Conference The student conference will be an outgrowth of the National Conference on Religion and Race held in Chicago last Janu­ ary under auspices of the major religious groups.

The meeting will center on a series of seminars and work­ shops designed to map plans for action at s t rat e g i c schools throughout the country.

Topics to be discussed include "the strategy of non-violence" "politics and the· power stru~ture," students and political ac­ tion," "tutorial and interr~ial social service programs," and "the policies and practices of universities as educational in­ stitutions in relationship to the surrounding community."

Community

For the most part, the "community" idea of the Church is a diffiJult one for the Catholic to grasp.

He usually sees himself as an individual using the Church. and what it offers as means to save his soul.

When he does think-of himself as belonging to a group, it is to a multi-million person organization that has great power throughout the world.

Various Council Fathers have suggested that the Catholic try to associate himself in a more particular way with his Bishop, so that the Catholics of a diocese will' gradually become aware of themselves as united with their Bishop in a worshipping community.

The emphasis, in this case, is on the local Christian eommunity itself.

This attitude would draw the members of a diocese ­ clerical and lay - together in a family spirit, and would. nmke for more respect among them. As the Byzantine Exarch of Pittsburgh, Bishop Nicholas Elko, has said: "It makes for a kind of respect that a good family has for its father, the kind of respect people felt for Pope John."

I W#i1nr fo lef.some f,.esh 81i" inl"o the

And the priests and Bishops would g'ain an even deeper respect for the lay people, seeing at closer range their devo­ tion and their talents.

Catholics have always prided themselves on being "catholic" - having a universal mind, taking the world as their field of endeavor. But the community idea is not in­ compatible with this, for while the world would remain their concern the particular. diocese in which they live is their family, and the Bishop of that diocese their Father in God , Christ in their midst bringing them to God and God to them.

This community idea is a concept that Christians of the East have never lost sight of. Its awareness by those of the West would do much to help their own lives and to bring them into closer harmony with the Christians of the East, both Uniate and Orthodox.

TODAY-Mass as on Sunday.

Faith supplies, of course, for our defel~ts of sign and symbol. Faith sees Christ at Mass, no matter what the degree of participation oi non-participation, no matter how helpful or unhelpful the surroundings al:!.

Faith sees Christ at Mass, teaching His people, making pres,mt through them His per­ feet offering of His life to the Father, binding them together in divine life through a Holy Com­ munion. But how much faith can be !;trengthened and energized by the proper use of signs, by intelligible language, by altar, by close and communC\1 partici­ pation.

The protest fast that a New York City Catholic priest went on last week - a fast supported by a Jewish rabbi and a Lutheran minister - at first glance may have seen only a stunt. It may have made some people feel vaguely­ embarrassed. It did not seem like a particularly dignified thing to do.

But it made its point. The City Fathers of New York TOMORROW - Mass as on promised to look into the distribution of obscene literature Sunday. "Why, then, give back in that neighborhood and in the city. to Caesar what is Caesar's, and This is not a case of the end justifying the means. to God what is God's" (Gospel).

And so there are situations that only an imaginative man was not made to dwell exercising charity in their approach will highlight. The fast, in this case, did what alone, common prayer and praise,their other protests did not.

The theme is introduced in to­ day's Mass with a consoling pas­ sage: "I do not harbor though" of vengeance, says the Lord, but thoughts of peace" (Entranee Hymn). The First Reading at­ firms the Christian's expectancy, his hope in history, his confi­ dence in Christ's meaning in hi&­ tory and in Christ's power Hto make all things obey him."

It is true, of course, that our public worship affirms a trust and orientation which our other actions may belie.

This was not a Cound decision but simply a guide-vote.

Such a new procedure was termed an "inestimable aid and support" for the Moderatou work (Baum) and gave the hope that there might be free-efficient results "without the need of hearing interminable multipli­ city of speakers."

Bishop Wright, a member of the Theological Commission, said that this new procedure made it "enormously easier for_ the sub-commission on the collegi­ ality of bishops to revise the chapter."

Liturgy With treatments concerning Sacred Art and Music termi­ nated, the schema on the Liturs was nearly completed. There was a real possibility that a full complete form of the text would be presentable in the next few weeks.

The schema would then need the approval of Pope Paul and, promulgation by the Council. B would be the work of a post­ conciliar commission to imple­ ment the schema and the ap­ proval of various national hiell­ archies before it would become law for local usage.

Archbishop Cousins (Milwau­ kee) spoke encouragingly of the eomplete cooperation between the laity and the episcopacy. He noted that laymen should not be fearful of undue interference nor tend to feel suppressed. It was the hope of the Commission on the Lay Apostolate, he con­ tinued, that the "laity will ac­ cept the invitation to become part of the life of the Church with an enthusiasm and ;-_. ~ia­ tive that might previously haw been lacking."

BishopS Vatican Radio in a commen­ tary on the new schema before the Fathers pointed out that the mechanical aspects of a Bishop as the simple ruler over a com­ munity must be corrected.

"The government of Bishops, the government of Popes, the government of priests, has no · values, no meaning really, in it­ self. It precious value, its -prO­ found meaning comes like that of the Seven Sacraments, from the invisible power it embodies, from the invisible grace it se­ cures and communicates to us.

The simple reason why the presence and authority of the bishops at the head of our dio­ ceses is not looked upon by adult Christian as a burden, a drag; a break in his religious life, but on the contrary. as a help and a reassurance, is that the Bishop, appointed by the · Holy Spirit to serve and rule the .People of God, puts him (Christian) in contact witil Christ, keeps him under the vi",..

By Mary Tinley Daly A heart-warning story in this trou~led world broke recently when word came there had been an exchange between Russia and America: two held in this country shipped back for two in restraint over there.

It has been a privilege of the author . of this eOlumn to know one of that big family of 13 c:hildren and it happened in a rather round­ about way. A . bad back, fashionable complaint since it hit highest White House circles, wrenched this scribe in • dubiously fashionable, wholly unwelcome vise.

"Physical therapy," prescribed Dr. Robert Rush. "I'll turn you over to our Mrs. Gearhart."

Thus we met gentle, blonde little Mrs. Gearhart, nee Helen Ciszek. ..J ust take it easy," she said, putting warm packs on the stiff and aching area. "Rest a whU. and we'll start the exercises."

Exercises? The very thought WlMl terrifying, back and leg. throbbing -with pa·in. . "O..K.?" Mrs. Gearhart asked, returning to the treatment room.

"Warm packs loosened you up eome? Now we'll start massage."

Somehow, the creaks were eas­ ing up a bit under her clever fingers. "Now bring this leg up -like so."

It was painful, uut the very stretching of the muscles was something we hadn't accom­ plished for a long time. "Up this way, . strea-a-atch. Now bend Into a ball--eo ***..

Typical of the Irish, we wanted a quick, eure cure-ban& bang, zing!

Catholic Church Has 'New Spirit' In - Race Field

Cardinal RiJffini Stresses Work Of . Laymen

CINCINNATI (NC) - As 25,000 persons took part in a eivil rights demonstration here a Catholic spokesman

ROME (NC) - Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini of Palermo, Italy, has stressed the neces­ sity of the work of the lay­ man in five main fields: politics, the press, education, labor and entertainment.

The 75-year-old Cardinal told a press conference here: "There is no need to talk of the legitimacy of the lay aposto­ late. It is more useful to discuss its necessity.

"Catholics must have the holy ambition to arrive at a point where they can help make laws.

Catholics must take part in political life, not to conquer by violence but to legitimately bring Christian principles to bear.

In the field of education, he said, "the school is sometimes more important than the Church.

Enemies of the Church begin by attacking the schools, leaving the churches until later. Mission­ aries open s c h 0 0 I s before building churches."

He said Catholics should imi­ tate the communists and try to fill chairs of philosophy, physics and medicine in state and pri­ vate universities to make the full effect of Christian teaching felt.

Laymen are vi~ally needed in the entire field of labor, he said.

For Lay Apostolate "The workers are getting away from us," he said. "We can, ring our church bell and hold cere­ monies, but where are the workers? It is up to laymen to 10 into factories, shops and com­ mercial and industrial complexes to reach where the clergy can­ not go, he said.

As for entertainment the Car­ dinal noted that "television is the school of the family," and the need for convinced laymen in the whole field of the arts is great.

The Cardinal closed the con­ ference by outlining a five-point program as a basis for an effec­ tive layman's apostolate: first . and foremost, living one's faith moral,ly and as an example; real and serious study of Christian teachings; profound conviction of the truth of one's religion; action rather than passive criti­ cism: and lastly love.

Men's Council Asks Civil Rights Law WICHITA (NC) - The Wichi­ ta Diocesan Council of Catholic Men here in Kansas has called for approval of Federal civil rights legislation by Congress "which will grant all citizens, irrespective of race and color, equal rights in voting, in admis­ sion to schools at all levels, in employment, in housing, public facilities and in public recrea­ tion."

The council executive commit­ tee adopted a statement which , asserted "the chief element in­ volved is a sound and Christian attitude of justice and charity."

A copy of the statement was forwarded to Rep. Emmanuel Celler of IllinOis, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

The Wichita council represents 19,000 - Catholic men in 98 parishes.

H-Bomb Father WASHINGTON (l'fC) - Ed­ ward Teller, who has'been called "father of the H':::bomb," will lecture at the Catholic Univer­ sity of America tomorrow on "Practical and Impractical Uses of Space." The event is listed as a highlight of the university'. diamond jubilee celebration.

There was generous repre­ sentation of priests and Catholic laity groups among the 25,000 who participated in the informal singing procession from Wash­ ington Park to Fountain Square in the heart of the downtown section.

William R. Schumacher, pres­ ident of Cincinnati Catholic In­ terracial Council, one of the principal speakers, said the new Catholic spirit in the racial field reflects the recent words of Pope Paul VI - "we cannot remain tranquil as long as there are men who suffer."

Banners in the procession identified the Cincinnati Catho­ lic Interracial Council; Third Order of St. Francis; Grall Movement; College of Mount St. Joseph; Our Lady of Cincin­ nati College; Xavier University students and adult sodality; Glenmary Home Missioners of Glendale, Ohio, and of Aurora, Ind.; Young Christian Workers; Young Adult Group of the Arch­ diocesan Youth Council, and Christ the King parish.

Safeguard Rights They joined Pro t est ant, Jewish, civic, labor, and other groups such as the National As­ sociation for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Congress for Racial Equality (CORE) in the "March and Vote for Jobs and Freedom" demon­ stration. '

Schumacher said "there is bara Mary, S.U.S.C. to junior in the 20th century alone, than traditional role of home-work among us in the Catholic Church high level instructors. in all of previously recorded helpers.

Prelate Scores Secular Attitude Toward Marriage

Reds in Poland Try to Destroy Relig·ious .Life

CHICAGO (N C) - The modern sec u I a r attitude views the physical aspects of sex in marriage as "the only good," the director of the Family Life Bureau, National Catholic Welfare Conference, told the Catholic Physician's Guilds here.

Msgr. John C. Knott said the secular person "sees the physical aspects of sex not only as SOmE!­ thing good," but "goes to tl".e other extreme of seeing it as the only good."

Catholic Outlook "This in part explains the trE!­ mendous emphasis in marriage texts on the physical aspects of sex," he continued. "They dhl­ cuss in such detail the techn:l­ ques, the stresses and strains, and the angles involved that tl".e . logical conclusion is' the two happiest people in marriage should be two engineers."

Msgr. Knott contrasted this outlook with that of the average American Catholic who, he said, finds it difficult to "accept sex not only' naturally, as SOmE!­ thing good, but also totally, EtS something more than physical."

He attributed this to the "shotgun marriage of American Puritanism, which suggests that sex is shameful, and the Jan­ senism of Irish or French Cath­ olics, which held that sex was an evil, but a necessary one be­ cause of the need to procreate."

He added that Catholics al'e' "conditioned to some extent" by the secular attitude.

Pressure Manifested Msgr. Knott, also said th~ overemphasis on the physical acts of sex and its "divorce from procreation" have led teenagers to use sex "strictly for recrea.­ tional purposes."

He cited recent increases In pregnancies out of wedlock, staUng this indicates that the traditional concepts of sex, 10VI~, marriage and even the value of the child are under "serious pressure." .

Other manifestations of thIs pressure, he said, are the ac­ ceptance of divorce, approval (l,f contraception, abortion and ster­ ilization "as morally good and even obligatory," and "continu­ ally overt promotion of the right of young people to premaritall sexual intimacies."

Made by God

A great need of our genera­ tion, he said, is a better under­ standing of sexuality, as opposed to sex, and the positive values which Christianity attaches to it.

"Sexuality is made by God and therefore it is good," he saioL "It is sacred because it is con­ cerned with life - either with initiating it as in the infant, or with p~rfecting life as between husband and wife."

The relationship In marriage, Msgr. Knott declared, should be "a relationship between two sex,­ ualities and not just betweell two bodies."

Asks Solons to Back Prayer Amendment WASHINGTON (NC) - Rep. Philip J. Philbin of Massachu,. setts has urged fellow congress·· men to join in a move to countel~ the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings against public school prayer.

Philbin in a House speech called for additional signers o:r a discharge petition intended tel bring to a vote a proposed con·. stitutional amendment on thtl Issue. He said the nation wall "deeply shocked and aroused" by the Supreme Court rulings.

He placed in the Congressional Record a statement advocati~r a prayer amendment by Citizenll for Public Prayer, an organiza·· tion with headquarters in Rut-. land, Mass.

Faithful Discipleship

"We should deal with Mary from a Biblical viewpoint, real­ izing that the separated brethren insist on Christ being the only source of our redemption, while Mary is the type of all those who by faith have entered into the redeemed fellowship.

"Since she illustrates in her person the meaning of the Church as the supreme example of faithful discipleship, the Mar. iological draft logically should be part of the ecclesiological one.

"We feel strongly that we

should go back to the Biblical

foundations and other sources

we have in common with the separated brethren, especially

the Eastern Church Fathers

Lady originates."

had learned Poland's communist regime literally is trying to stamp out religious life by star­ vation in some sections of that country.

Father Marion S. Mazgaj, who came to the U. S. in 1957 and now is on the faculty at St. John Vianney Seminary here in Ohio, said in the village of Nowe Mias_ to all stores were forbidden by state authorities to sell food to a community of Franciscan Brothers in an effort to force them to leave.

"Practically all food stores be­ long to the state. And in many localities the fuel offices have been forbidden to allocate coal to monasteries and churches," Father Mazgaj said in an article written for the Steubenville (Ohio) Register, diocesan news_ paper.

Break Into Convent Father Mazgaj said he learned government inspectors had broken into Felician Sisters' convent, mistreated and insulted the nuns, even invading the privacy of their bedrooms.

He wrote: "The Felician Sis­ ters were told if they wanted to continue to work and make a living, they must discard their religious garments. They alsO were ordered by communist of­ ficials to leave the convent."

Father Mazgaj said Church auth{)rities have protested to government officials and de­ manded restoration of illegally seized buildings, but the protests have proven fruitless.

The Inter-Catholic Press Agency in New York, which specializes in news of Poland, also reported about government efforts in various parts of Po­ land to destroy religious life.

Urges Teen-agers to Seek Life's Worthwhile Goals

I'm not SUl'e where the custom of • three-months' vacation from sehool began. It may well have been that the youngsters were needed to help out at home, or on the farm, for that period.

School work mustn't be made too hard for them., for' instance.

You never hear a parent com­ plaining that a child is given too little homework, but occasional­ ly the parents who "dedicate their lives to instructing teachers gripe about the irreparable harm done their child by "too much homework."

Helpin&' Othera Religion has to be a_ watered­ down mixture that will only serve to - immunize them to' genuine religion if they should' be injected with it later. ' Socia1ly, they have to be al­ lowed to do pretty ,much all they please, with all the dating they, end the neighbors - who are always experts on everyone else's kids - deem necessary.

To help teen-agers 110 grow gracefully, they are offered chil_ dish responsibilities, given jobs around the house which demand DO initiative, no thought, in fact, DO real responsibility at aU. They are never worried with' the challenging idea that they should be voluntarily trying to do something for others instead of working only for themselv~ all day long.

Adult Heresies Actually, these are all adult heresies, _and the young at heart want no part of them, unless and' until they begin to bog down in the adult rut of complacency.

To get many adult groups moving on a project, you have to make it seem childishly easy: And perhaps the adult heresy today is that if you keep busy' enough, you can do no wrong ­ which is precisely why the adult aometimes considers a "youth club" the cure-aU for every­ thing., '''Keep the kids busy,'" he says, -and,· you keep them out of trouble." As though "keeping them bUSY" would develop their minds and as though "keeping out of trouble" were life's pur­ pose.

Your home should be • chal­ lenge to you, not ju.t • place where you eat and sleep and come to get warm, but a place you help to build into a real bome. Your education should be seen 'as the opportunity to de­ velop your highest faculty, and not Just suffered through as a chore and a bore.

Your religion ought to be the most vital thing in your life ­ since objectively it is just that - not a hymn-singing session that makes you feel good, but an intellectual conviction and the motivation of your very life.

Your ideals in life should be ideab worthy of the young, who look at the worth of the goal instead of at the difficulty of the means.

Stepping-Stones Sure, join the youth clubs, but ,make them into centers, not just of unmotivated activity or ir­ responsible fun or even just your own enjoyment, but pur­ poseful places offering the means of your self-perfection and the help and perfection of your neighbor.

Use the youth club as you use everything else - a. a stepping­ stone to a way' of life giving motive to your eVerT action. But It it's only a place '"to keep busy," it's a fraud, and doesn't deserve your .youthful energy and time.

Use what you have. Don't bury it. Your potentialities are almost incredible, but they are potentialities. You are -right to be insulted by mediocre goals.

But there are plenty of chal-' lenges, plenty of goals worthy of your potentialities if you go out and look for them. Don't wait for ,the adults to put them before you, because their illusion is that you have to be babied, since they forget that you still have youth­ ful energy and enthusiasm and. idealism to work with.

Real Challenges Parents and tea c her sand, eOUhselors who put real chal·, lenge. before teen-agers aret often surprised - though they' shouldn't be - to -see how mucll. the kids can do.

The important thing is thai: you young people seek out thEI challenge that is worthy' of you., and then meet it, whether yOlll have a crowd helping you or arEl forced to do it alone.

Get this done before you slip into the adult rut of compla·· cency. That will have to bE! soon, though, before the world around you succeeds in makin~: old men and women of you. IoIliI before your time.

Negro Protest Movement Militant and Moderate

By Rev. Andrew M. Greeley

It has been fashionable in recent months to refer to

the great Negro protest movement as a "social revolution."

In one sense, of course, the name is quite accurate. How­ , ever, the use of the word "revolution" obscures several of the unique aspects of the movement and ultimately form must ultimately gain the of the majority ele­ does it an injustice. If a rev­ acceptance ments in society if it is to work. olution is an attempt to over­ There are simply not enough turn an established social order

Negroes in America to enforce their demands on the country without the consent of large numbers of their white fellow Americans.

Thus the leaders of the protest movement are in the delicate position of having to say at one and the same time, "See how strong we are" and "See how reasonable our demands are and how sensible we are."

They must simultaneously be militant and moderate - mili­ tant enough to dramatize their plight and to maintain the en­ thusiasm of their followers' and yet moderate enough to make peaceful solutions possible.

What is remarkable is that so far this approach has been carried off rather well. Indeed, the protest movement has pro­ ceeded with a dignity and a restraint that seems almost im­ possible.

The exceptions, the ill-advised actions, the quixotic battles of the fringe m e m b e r shave grabbed the newspaper head­ lines, of course, but the peace­ ful and well-disciplined nature of the movement has become so taken for granted that it has ceased to be news.

Nonetheless, the restraint of the Negroes of Birmingham after six of their children were mur­ dered is quite incredible. Surely history will mark this as an ex­ traordinarily impressive display of patience and loyalty to the peaceful processes of American democracy.

Yet the sympathetic observer cannot help but wonder how long this remarkable patienc# can last.

and to replace it with a new one, then the Amer­ ican Negro is anything but a revolutionary.

Be does not want to destroy a social order but rather to be admitted i n t 0 one. He does not want to build a new 80 c i e ty but rather merely to be permitted to become a full-fledged part of an existing one.

Long in Coming As Professor Everett Hughes pointed out ih his presidential address to the American Socio­ logical Soc i e t y, the protest movement is based on the per­ sistent belief of the American Negro that his money is as good as a white man's P.1oney and can be spent on the same things in the same places as white money is spent.

Nor should this reaction have come to us as a surprise. As Hughes observed, if you pro­ vide people with colfege educa­ tion, permit them to have jobs which offer them a fairly good income (let them see the "good life" on TV) and tell them that aU Americans are equal often enough, they will begin to be­ lieve that, indeed, all Americans are equal and that they should be treated like other Americans.

The surprise about the protest movement is that it was 90 long in coming.

Political Action But it is surely not a revolu­ tion. It is rather a highly so­ phisticated form of political action, one that is more extreme than the political action of other ethnic groups only because the moderate kinds of political pres­ sure have not been as successful for the Negroes as 'they were for, let us say, the Irish or the Ita­ lian immigrant.

It is important to understand the precise nature of this politi­ cal action; it is both pressure and persuasion.

Strong, Reasonable It must be pressure because DO political gains are made with_ out . pressure, and because not very many people are going to listen' to your persuasion unless you have some muscle to back it up.

On the other hand, it must also be persuasion because social re­

itable" in their approach to ecu­ menical efforts. The Catholic Church has a duty to be "explicit in guarding the deposit of faith," said Norman St. John-Stevas, out "the overriding principle in all ecumenical work is charity."

St. John-Stevas, political edi­ tor of the Economist magazine of London and author of several books on social issues, said Cath­ olics should avoid any appear­ ance of seeming to say to non­ Catholics, "you must submit to us or be doomed in your error."

"This was not the attitude of John and Paul," he said to the Newman Forum of the Louisiana State University student center.

"We shall be the gainers of any reunion which will take place."

Expects Changes He predicted that the ecu­ menical council would remove the major stumbling-blocks to Christian unity but noted that this will not mean any essential change in the teaching of the Church. ':The changes. which we can expect," he saId, "are more prayer in common, an opportu­ nity for showing mutual charity and love; a degree of decentra­ lization - important for the life of the Church in general and for the ecumenical movement; a democratization' of the relation­ ships of the bishops to the pope; a defined position for the laity; more religious freedom; a re­ form of the l'hdex, or its aboli­ tion; and dialogue, within and without."

Lay Groups Open Rome Office To Aid Fathers of Council

Prelates Contradict Collimnist's

Domi~ican Republic Statem'ent

ROME (NC)-The Bishops of the Dominican Republic, here for the secon:! session of Vatican Council II, have vigorously con­ tradicted statements made by newspaper columnist Dr e w Pearson concerning Church-State relations in their country.

In one of his daily columns, Pearson purported to report tes­ timony given by John Bartlow Martin, U. S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic;, before the Senate Foreign Relations COJ:Il­ mittee. Touching on the coup which ousted Juan Bosch as president, Pearson said:' "Ambassador Martin, who, gave the Senators a detailed ac­ count of the Dominican revolu­ tion, explained that President Bosch had just put a law through the Dominican congress separ­ ating church and state. Hitherto, the Catholic Church had received direct funds from the govern­ ment and the priests had super­ vised instruction in the schools.

Lack Foundation "When Bosch put across this reform-following the pattern of the Mexican reforms-he won the enmity of the Church, which lined up on the side of the mili­ tary."

The Archbishop and three Bishops of the Dominican Re­ public, learning of what Pearson had written, joined in the fol­ lowing statement: "The statements that colum­ nist Drew Pearson attributes to Ambassador John Bartlow Mar_ tin (as published in The Wash­ ington Post column) regarding the Catholic Church and the coup against the government of President (Juan) Bosch are ab­ solutely lacking in foundation and, for this reason, we feel sure Mr. Martin himself will quickly deny such statements."

Christmas Holiday In Czechoslovakia

-

VIENNA (NC)-In a reversal of previous practice since the Reds took over in Czechoslo­ vakia, the country's workers will have a full holiday leave at Chirstmas. According to a report received here, Dec. 24, 25, and 26 will be vacation days this year.

It is regarded as significant here that, the government an­ noun'cement said the step was being taken "at the suggestion of the unions." This is taken as an indication of the strength of publjc pressure to return to for­ mer customs at Christmastime.

Under the communists, Czech_ oslovakworkers have been on the job until 6 P.M. on Christmas Eve. Their holiday on Christmas Day had' to be made up on the following Saturday.

Board of Education Encourages Pr~yer COLUMBUS (NC) - The Columbus Board of Education has encouraged prayer in public schools but left decisions in the matter up to individual teachers.

The central Ohio Civil Liber­ ties Union responded by as­ sailing the board's 'action as well as a ruling by City Atty. John' C. Young that made it possible.

Young held that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision of last June against Bible reading and prayer in public schools barred such practices when prescribed by school boards but did not pre­ vent boards from encouraging school prayer.. ',.,' •

"In fact, Mr. Martin is among the persons with the best author­ ity to know that there is no such law in the Dominican Republic nullifying Church-State rela­ tions which presently are gov­ erned by a Concordat," the state­ ment continued.

"We know that Ambassador Martin, on several different oc­ casions, expressed his apprecia­ tion of the work the Church is doing ,to save democracy in Santo Domingo (the Dominican Republic). The constant con­ cern of the Bishops there has been to foster understanding among all Dominicans and rec­ onciliation of the various politi­ cal parties." , 'Comments False' The statement is signed by Archbishop Octavio Beras of Santo Domingo, Bishop Hugo Polanco of Santiago, Bishop Juan Pepen of Altagracia and Bishop Thomas F. Reily,C.SS.R., Prelate NullIus of San Juan de la Manguana.

(From Santo Domingo, Augus­ tin Heredia, NC correspondent, cabled: "Pearson comments false.

No law of separation discontin­ uing funds to the Church has ever been passed by the Senate.

There is no supervision of schools by priests.")

The office is sponsored jointly by the Conference of Interna­ tional Catholic Organizations and by the Permanent Commit­ tee for Inte'rnational Congresses of the Lay Apostolate. It is situ­ ated at the central secretariat of the World Federation of So­ dalities of Our Lady.

Asks Federal Education Aid Solution by 'National Group PIDLADELPIDA (N<)) - Rep. Hugh L. Carey 'ap­ pealed here for a national co~sion of "men of ~ood will" to work out a solution to the Issue of Federal aId for ele­ mentary school children, including those in private schools.

A monopoly cannot cate of including parochilll inspire and sustain that variety thought and belief essential and other private school of to a free pluralistic society. pupill in Federal aid proposals, spoke to the convention of tb,e Pennsylvania federation of tb,e Citizens for Educational Free­ dom.

Carey is a member of the House Education Committee and sponsor of the G.!. Bill for Jun­ ior, a measure which would give a flat grant to every school child which could be spent at any school. The bill is strongly en­ dorsed by the CEF. Contrast Speaking at the conventIon"s banquet, Carey contrasted the, spirit of cooperation among U. ~l. higher education with the de­ termination of principal educa­ tional groups on the primary and secondary level to keep private schools out of Federal aid proposals. .

Carey drew an imaginary pie­ ture of representatives of the two educational levels before ;a Congressional committee. He gave the name "Edgar" to th.e figure representing pre-colleg.e schools and "Vergil" to the col. lege spokesman. It went this way: "Edgar says: Sound education. al poliey demands that funds be disbursed to public elementar"J' schools only.

National Interest "Vergil says: It is in the na. tional interest to aid all students in all schools since 'every school serves a public purpose and W4!

"Many of these children are' attending public aehools out 01' necessity; others are doing so· becatae it is the wish· of their parents," he said.

"These children," he said, "certainly must not be penal­ ized in any way," he asserted "and every effort must be made to give them the best possible religious education, and to make tftem and their parents realize the7 are full-fledged memben ei the parish."

"Edgar says: Aid to all stu­ dents ia unconstitutional, vio­ lating the Jeffersonian Separa­ tion of Church and State· •• "Vergil says: No one seeks aid to religion. It is the function of the Congress to write constitu­ tional legislation which benefits the children and serves the gen_ eral welfare."

New Approach Carey said a "new approach" is needed because public and private elementary education "in at least half the nation is in a hazardous difficulty which this nation can ill afford." ''Let us summon," he said, "a national commission broadly representative of all the inter­ ests in education, the state, the school, the church, the educator, the parent. .

"Such a commission, above partisanship and without preju_ dice, would establish the goal and needs of today and tomor­ row in keeping with the promise of that kind of education essen­ tial to the dignity of the human person as an individual in a free society."

Administer Rite~ To Blast Victims INDIANAPOLIS (NC) - Sev­ eral priests administered last rites to the dying and comforted the injured in the wake of an explosion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum her e which claimed at least 64 lives.

About 340 persons were in­ jured in the blast attributed to leaking propane gas in a conces_ sion storage room. The explosion occurred only a few minutes be­ fore the closing act of an ice show that drew 4,300 spectators to the coliseum.

Six priests worked in the col­ iseum itself while others rushed to the six hospitals in the area where the injured were taken.

More than 100 were taken to St. Vincent's Hospital and St. Fran­ cis Hospital, the two Catholic hospitals in Marion County.

Father James Higgins, veteran police chaplaiQ, heard the announeement of the explosion on his automobile police radio and was at the' scene minutes after the tragedy occurred. He and. other priests at the scene stayed in the coliseum all night, digging through the rubble for the dying and injured.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Nu­ merous and constantly develop­ ing projects engaged the interest of the Catholic Church in the United States in the last year.

Intensive labor for promotion ~f spiritual and social welfare is reflected in the annual reports of the departments and bureaus of the National Catholic Welfare Conference submitted to the Bishops of the country.

The Second Vatican Council, education, study and application of the Church's social teachings, broad international relief, assist­ ance to the Church in Latin America, aid to refugees and foreign missionary work were some of the matters touched upon in the reports.

The NCWC is a voluntary 1gency through which the U. S. Bishops, deal with matters of common interest on a national level. The activities of the de­ partments and bureaus through which it functions are outlined in their annual reports. ' Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle of Washington reported as chair_ man of the NCWC Administra­ tive Board and told of the work of two projects initiated in Rome in connection with the Second Vatican Council.

These are the NCWC office for the assistance of American prelates taking part in the coun­ cil and the U. S. Bishops press panel for the assistance of Amer­ ican secular newspapermen cov­ ering the council proceedings.

Both were successful in their operations during the first ses­ sion of the council and are being continued in the second, he stated.

Highlights of department and bureau reports include the fol­ lowing: Race Issue The Department of Social Ac­ tion drew attention to the in­ volvement of religion in racial relation issues and said inaugu­ ration of interfaith programs for racial social action is wide­ spread.

An increasingly "sympathetic" attitude among legal scholars and the general public toward including church-related schools in Federal aid to education was seen by the Legal Department.

The National Council of Cath­ olic Men added four new dioc­ esan councils in the year, bring­ ing the' total to 66. It reported that some 7,000 men took its leadership training course, which it pronounced an "overwhelm­ ing success."

The National Council of Cath_ olic Women, with 13,862 affili. ated organizations within 115 diocesan councils, reported a~

tive interest in the role of wom­ en in today's world, race rela­ tions, Federal aid to education, aid to Latin America, and the feeding and clothing of peoples in u n d e r p r iv i1 e g e d areas throughout the world. {'ress Activities The National Council of Cath­ olic Nurses said it has 111 dioc­ esan affiliates, which in turn have 330 local chapters.

Reporting 51,770 persons helped through 46,490 cases handled in the year, the NCWC Department of Immigration said Poland seems to have eased its restric­ tions on passports and exit visas, pointing out that 13 Polish-bor~ priests and two Polish seminar­ ians were among its clients.

The NCWC Press Department called the last year the most important" ·since establishment of the N.C.W.C. News Service in 1920. It noted that the service sent out 509 stories on the first session of the Second Vatican Council in a 13-week period.

Youth Department The NCWC Youth Department reported that it has affiliated more than 500 Newman Clubs with a total membership of nearly 50,000; that diocesan affil­ iations to the National Catholic Youth Organization -Federation increased by five to 60, with 22 other archdioceses and dioceses associated, and that the mem­ bership of the National Federa­ !jon of Catholic College Clubs maintained a steady rate.

The Department of Education ' reviewed technical developments related to education and encour. aged a wider use of educational television.

The NCWC Office for'United Nations Affairs said that the human rights field, always one of its special concerns, had taken on a "new look" since the issu­ ance of Pope John XXIII's ency­ clical, Pacem in Terris.

Information Bureau The NCWC Bureau of Infor­ mation said it sent out 313 news releases to secular media last year, and also provided a large volume of background material

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - The Archdiocese of New Orleans has purchased property to - serve as a center for a vocations program geared to young men in college and professional life.

The residence, located across the street from Notre Dame major seminary here, will be called the St. Paul House of Studies.

Aimed at young men between the ages of 18 and 30, the adult vocation program will opim a new avenue for persons in col­ lege or the working world desir_ ing to study for the priesthood.

St. Paul House of Studies will work in conjunction with Notre Danie seminary and will offer a twofold program of spiritual and intellectual formation.

Latin Program The house will be used imme­ diately for the Saturday presem­ inary Latin course initiated by the archdiocese last February.

Ten of the 14 students in last Spring's class are now studying in seminaries. A more intensive accelerated Latin program will begin in January for special students.

Archbishop Cody said in an­ nouncing the new center: "While this may seem like a bold ven­ ture to some, we must remember that the Church ,has always drawn many of her best voca· tions from among those men who are said to have a 'delayed' vocation."
