Freedom of Discussion Important on Campus

By Rev. Andrew M. Greeley The Loyola News (of Loyola University in Chil:ago), which has been consistentIyone of the best Catholic campus papers in the country, is the lat~st addition to a growing list of student papers which have become embroiled in .con troversies with the admin tee that some of their thought istration of their colleges. and expression will not be Without wishing to comment judged imprudent by their directly on the issues in the elders. Loyola controversy, I think it provides an occasion for some observa tions about the problems of freedom on the Catholic cam pus. The purpose of a college is to train people to think (or at least t his is what Cardinal N ewm an ar gued). If young people learn how to think, it is normal that they will begin to think critically. When they think eritically, the first thing they will criticize is the school that taught them how to think. S~D

This may seem like rank in gratitude on their part, but it is understandable enough. When you start to critically evaluate your society, you will turn your attention first of all to those in lrtitutions which are closest to you. Actually a faculty 'Ought to be flattered -when the student bolU" turns on it with criticism, be cause this is a oenain sign that the faculty has succeeded in ita purpose. On the other hand, II quiet, uncritical docile irtudent Pody is .. sign either that the students are not thinking or that they are plotting revolution. In either case the school adminis tration ought to be worried. Valid Argument From this point of view the outbursts of criticism which have taken place recently on eeveral Catholic campu.ses are a healthy sign for they indicate that the colleges are doing a better job than they had done before. It can be argued that theBC tions of editors or student leaders are often imprudent or unbalanced and '"U1'ely such an argument is valid.

Awkward Position I am not arguing that student

editors or student council of ficers should be given complete license; and I surely sympathize with school administrations in the awkward positions in which they are more and more fre quently finding themselves. Yet it seems to me that if the Cathplic colleges really expect to be accepted as part of the American college system, they must concede to student govern ments and student papers the same rights that the average American college grants. In deed,one would suspect that many an administrator of a secular school could tell his Catholic colleagues that as soon as a student paper no longer has a chance to fight the administra tion, it becomes quite respectable and dull. . Harms Image What seems to me to be one of the most serious elements of the problem is that the Catho lic colleges are engaged in a desperate ~arch for faculty talent. A major reason why they have a hard time recruiting is that younger Catholic academi cians are often convinced that there is no freedom on the Catholic campus. The Catboliccolleges have argued and with some justifica tion that this charge is not true. Nevertheless, each new incident that even looks like an oppres sionof freedom of discussion, does .gubstantial harm to the image of the Catholic college in the academic community. Clearly college administraiors must carefully weigh the short run advantage of silencing an annoying editor or columnist against the long run disadvan tage of frightening away talented faculty personneL

Survey Directors Report On Catholic Education • CHICAGO (NC) _. The directors of a study of the -effects" of Catholic education have written that they do not expect to find much difference in several areas between Catholics who attended public schools and those who went ~ Church schools.. Father • •• The more education the Andrew Greeley and PE~~r head of a family has the more H. Rossi, both of Chicago, likely his children are to be in make this comment in an Catholic schools (and) finally, article to appear in the Decem ber issue of the Critic, a Catho lic bimonthly published here. The priest is heading a study ~unched by the National Opi aion Research Center of the Un tversity of Chicago under a grant from the Carnegie Corporation, New York. Rossi is head of the llesearch center. Unfounded Criticism In the first of a series of a,rti 'cles on the study, the two say rdley expect the survey's res\llts will show "that at least some of the criticism leveled in reeent )'ears at Catholic schools is without foundation." They defend the· objectivity of the survey, which will at tempt to compare Catholics who "attended public schools with lhose who attended parochial 8Chools. . "We are under no illusion that ftIe future of Catholic education bangs in the balance," they also wrote. "The commitment of the American Church to its schools Ie so clear and definite that it is most unlikely to be changed." Little Difference The directors say that while previous information on the questions in the survey is "very lragmentary," they have ilgreed on what "the available informa tion would lead us to expect ~hich, be it observed, .is .not Decessarily the same as what we "want' to find)." They write: "On matters of essential reli pous practice (e.g., Sunday 'church attendance) there will be little difference between Catho llc school graduates and public ~hool graduates. "On matters of the less essen Gal religious practices (fre fiUency of receiving the saera ments) there will be consider able differences between the two eroups. Religious Knowledge "There will be little difference between the two groups in: participation in the civic com munity; contact with members ef other groups; occupational ~ccess; lIlrld social attitudes. "The graduates of Catholic ~hools will' score much higher on indicators of religious know ledge and somewhat higher than It'aduates of public schools on judgments about the morality of eertain critical actions. "The graduates of Catholic ~hools will be considerably more likely to be integrated and aetive participators in the Cath olic community." In the same article, the two lleport on a survey on the per centage of Catholic children in Catholic schools. 42 Per Cent Based on information gathered in a large survey of enrollees in adult edllcation courses, the re lIearch center found that about ~ per cent of Catholic school age children are in Catholic ltChools. The two statisticians said that -16 per cent of those under 14 :rears and 33 per cent of those over 14 years are in Catholic IIChools. The large cities, they said, have a higher proportion in Catholic schools: 49 per cent for cities over 2,000,000, as opposed to 23 per cent in counties whose main city was less than 20,000 people. "The more money a family has, the more likely it is to have • children in parochial schools

those who come from large families are more likely to be in Catholic schools," they wrote.

Asserts Laymen Have Active Role Behind Scenes

Sees Hierarchy Recog"~-:~a Rights, Position of Layman

NEW YORK (NC) - Al though the lay auditors have not yet spoken on the floor at the Vatican Council, their

ROME (DW) - Archbishop Denis Hurley, O.M.I., 47, Archbishop of Durban in the Republic of South Afric~, believes the hierarchy has to recognize and respect the pOSI tion, rights and responsibility of the layman. Archbishop Hurley, a member of the Vatican Council's Commis sion on Seminaries, Schools and Universities, said today: "Although the hierarchy is en trusted with the functions of teaching, directing, and sancti lying, in the fuller and more for

mal sense of these terms it is becoming obvious tliat in actual fact the witness of the layman

and the influence of the layman's Christian life are what make real impact on the world." He asserted that if the layman is to carry such a heavy share of responsibility, "obviously he has got to feel that he enjoys the trust of the hierarchy, and that under the over-all direction of the hierarchy, he is going to be allowed to exercise his initia tive." Best Procedure The archbishop said a new manner of exercising hierar chical authority is called for to day. "A bishop should exercise authority like the father of a family," he declared, "where the best type of father seldom lays down the law but talks things over in such a way with his family, that the decisions which emerge take the form of conclu sions agreed to by all." He said that naturally there would be times when authority must be exercised more firmly and more formally, "but there is a lot to be said for an exercise of authority that respects the insights, points of view, and the desires of all members in the family." Asked how the laity might be provided with opportunities lor making their opinion known to the hierarchy, Archbishop Hur ley said he saw no great diffi culty in providing machinery for this at the diocesan and national levels. Prominent lay men anI women could be readily called upon, he pointed out. Centuries Old But he feared the system would break down at the parish level, "a very concrete and im mediate level where people have tangible, urgent and concrete problems." It is his opinion "that we of the clergy are not yet pre pared mentally and emotionally to discuss problems at thi's level with the laity." He said he was blaming nobody, "except the whole system under which the Church has been run for decades, and perhaps centuries." The Archbishop questioned whether the paternalistic system of the past "can continue to work admirably with the laity that is becoming increasingly better educated, more critical, more vocal about the problems of the relationship of Catholic doctrine to social, economic and domestic issues," New Machinery After the Council, he said, each bishop would have to think about setting up new machinery for training and reorientation for his priests and semil)arians, "to introduce them to the new methods and techniques neces sary to enable them to put into effect the great pastoral program that is certain to emerge from the Council."

Breviary Reform Ends Formalism Of Centuries

ROME (D W ) - Bi~hop Willem M. Bekkers, 55, Bish

op of 's-Hertogenosch Dio

cese in Holland and member of the Vatican Council's Com mission on Sacred Liturgy, feels the Breviary Reform approved by the Council makes a sharp break from the strict formalism of past centuries. Bishop Bek kers is a member of the Liturgi cal Commission's subcommission on Breviary Reform. "The principal thought that guided us in our deliberations," Bishop Bekkers said, "was that the Divine Office or Breviary should be a genuine prayer, not an ironclad set of formalities." The Divine Office, called Bre viary after the book in which it is contained, is the Catholic Church's official public prayer said daily by all bishops and priests and by many religious, and is considered a participa tion in the prayer of Christ and a source of grace and spiritual nourishment. Invite Laity Bishop Bekkers noted that priests of the Latin Rite will continue to be obliged generally to pray their Breviary in Latin "but bishops and major superiors of exempt religious orders will now have the power to allow an individual priest, who does not understand Latin sufficiently well, to say his Breviary in the vernacular." He also said that the laity u full members of the Cu ... _., ... ..: been invited by the Council to participate in the Church's of ficial prayer, the Divine Office, and will be encouraged to re cite all of it or parts of it in the vernacular with their priests, or in groups, or even alone. "A priest bound to say his Breviary in Latin will not have to repeat those parts of the Di vine Office that he says in the vernacular with his people" Bishop Bekkers revealed. Use of Vernac;ular Nuns, Sisters and Brothers, bound to pray part or all of the Divine Office by their Constitu tions, or the so-called Little Of fice," will be able to get per mission to pray the Office in the vernacular, and this will be considered part of the official' prayer of the Church," the Hol land Bishop said. Priests, busy with preaching, giving instructions, baptizing, saying Mass, burying the dead, hearing confessions, or visiting the sick, will not be obliged to make up later in the day those parts of the Divine Office pre scribed for the hours when they were engaged with priestly work. Lists Changes Bishop Bekkers said the re formed Divine Office will center around Lauds and Vespers, which are the morning and the evening prayers of the Church. The Hour of Prime will be sup pressed. Matins will have less psalms and longer readings. And one will be fl'ee to chose whether he will recite Terce, Sext, or None. Those obliged to recite the Divine Office in choir will con tinue to say Matins before dawn, and will continue reciting Terce, Sext and None.

Women Auditors "We are working actively now with the Commision on the La;, Apostolate," he said. "We are not members of the commission, but we are able to speak up a,ny time we want. The bishops ask us questions or we just volun teer opinions." Norris is reluctant to predict what the council will do in given areas - wit.\1 one exception. The exception concerns the auditorw themselves. "By all means there will be women auditors at the council,· he said, "And very soon." Norris, father of five children, last May was one of 15 laymen called to Rome and consulted oa the council's schema 17, con cerned with the Church in the modern world.

Says Church in Madagascar More Lay Than Clerical

St. Louis Auxiliary Says Council May Last Three to Five Years

ROME (DW) - "The Catholic Church in Madagascar eannot be called clerical," said Bishop Claude Rolland, 53, bishop of Antsirabe Dioeese in Madagascar, in a statement prepared by himself and three Madagascar-born Bishops. French-born Bishop Rolland of the La Salette MisBionaries is Secretary ·of the Episcopal Con fer e n c e of Madagascar. "Some Co u ltl c·i 1 Fathers have stressed that little or no responsibility is given to the layman on the local level," the Bishops said. "Although this may be true in certain places, it III not true in Madagascar where the Church in its origins amd in Its present organization is mGre la, then clerical." Extensive Territory The Mad a gas car BishGp9 pointed out that the Christian communities existing today were founded by laymen on theil~ own Initiative not by priests n,M' by c: ate chi s t s sent by priests. "'Coastal Catholics working as COld miners in the mountains would take it upon themselves to assemble the people, teach them hymns and prayers, and then call for a priest WID) dis covered an a Ire a d y formed Christian community on his very first visit." A highly trained catechi:lt was ·then sent to the area to take over temporary direction of the eommunity, training meanwhile • local member of the com munity to be his succeSllOr as director of the young community and representative of the priest. This lay official, usually mar ried and the father of a family, regularly conducted Sundsly ser vices in the absence of the priest who formerly had and still today bas as many 20 to 30 CClfntnU aities to serve over an extensive area. "Madagascar is the first region .. the Church which bad a manual iIi the vernacular fer cat e chi s t s· with ICriptural rea din g.. commentary, and • pecial prayers for all Sundays of the year," Bishop Rolland Aid.

He pointed out that a catechist b always chosen or approved by the local community, d0e5 not live economically from h,is ser vice of the Church, but continues in his own profession as artisan, merchant or farmer." He does however, receive some compen sation, but it comea directly from the Christian community that he serves." Each community also has a parish committee with a presi dent. The president ill elected by the men and women of tbe com munity, is approved b,. the priest, and serves as the com munity's representative ·with the priest. Each Sunda, he directs a kind of parliament in which all financial and administrative matters affecting the 10elll com munity are discussed and de cided. Thus the priest has DO financial nor administrative duties to care for. Responsible Role There is also great lay activity in the social and political life of

the country. Bishop Rolland said

the 1,200,00 Catholics of Mada gascar make up one-fiftll of ·the PGpulation, have leading roles

in village social organ.izations

known as "Fokonolona", belong to all political parties, and have an influential Christian Con

federation of Malagash Unions. '

"All of this shows," he said, '"that the laity in Madagascar have a very responsible and active role in the Chureh,;"

Expects Bishops To Seek More Lay Counsel

ROME (DW) - "There are many who interpret the grea.t attention given by the Vatican Council to the laity a kind of democratization of the Church," said Brazil's Bish op Antonio de Castro Mayer, 59, Bishop of Campos, ''But this is wrong," he added. According to Bishop Mayer, "The Church will never abandon its divinely established monar chical structure. There will al ways be shepherds to guide the Church, under the orientation of the Supreme Shepherd, the Pope. Vicar of J esWl Christ, visible f 0 u n d a t ion of the Church." Inestimable Value Although considered one of the more conservative Bishops of Brazil, Bishop Mayer em phasized this monarchical struc ture does not mean that shep herds are impeded from listening tG their flocks. "In fact", he ad vocated, "special attentiGn should be given to those laymen who are highly competent in their particular professions." The aid which the hierarchy will thus receive in the government of the Church "will be given conscientiGusly by the laity and will be of inestimable value," the Bishop said. "But at the same time the laity, mindful that they are the Sheep in the Kingdom of God, will remain docile and will al low themselves to be guided by their legitimate shepherds" he declared. Wait Anxiously The BishGp of Campos feels the Council is striving to formu late and shed light upon the dog matical bases of "laicology," a word that In the future may be used to designate the new the ology on the laity. ·He said it would have been impossible for a Council of the 20th Century to ignore or treat only lightly of those who make up the vast majority of the People of God. "Laymen themselves h a v e waited anxiously for the Council to clarify not only the dogmatic principles on which their apos tolate rests," he pointed out "but also their high dignity that makes of them members of the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church. The Council is now replying to this "just ex pectation of the laity." "This is the first time that an Ecumenical Council has focused its attention on the role of the layman in the Church," he noted. "And the importance with which the Church treats the sub ject may be deducted from the fact that this is also the first time In which laymen, as such, have attended General Assem blies of a Council." Bishop Mayer said the layman has a role that knows no substitute in the apostolate of world renewal. Vigorous Impulse ''The apostolate is no longer a matter of free initiative," the Bishop observed, "but become an obligation for those who in corporate themselves in Jesus Christ, and thus participate in a certain manner in His apostolic nature, and in His salvific mis sion to all mankind." P - said the Council will give 8 new and vigorous impulse to the apostolate of the laity, pre serving at the same titni! the 2000-year-old hierarchical Itruc lure of the Chur~h.

ST. LOUIS (NC- - The ecu menical council may last three - or even five - years more says Auxiliary Bishop George J. Gottwald of St. Louis. Bishop Gottwald, back from the Council's second session, feels it will take "a minimum of three years" to cover all the draft proposals before the Coun cil and noted that other Council Fathers have speculated that it might require five years. He said the council would be lengthened by the large amount of work to be done rather than any delay. "We Americans are used to doing things quickly, but most of the Bishops know that what "lift are doing takes time," he commented. "In general everyone is pleased with the progress of the Council," Extending the Council over .everal years will not mean a delay in promulgating its de crees, observed the St. LGuis

Auxiliary who added Pope Paul VI will probably approve and publish each one as it is adopted by the counciL The Bishop belives the idea of a "Council by correspondence," as some have suggested, would be unsatisfactory. He said con ducting the council largely by mail would make it harder to reach decisions. Bishop Gottwald declared the "immediate effect" of the Coun cil's decisions Gn the liturgy, whose publication is expected soon, will be "limited" because it will be up to national confer ences of Bishops to decide how the decree will be implemented in their area. Full implementa tion in the United States will take about a year, he predicted. Major features of the liturgy reform will include use of the vernacular in instructional parts of the Mass and steps to involve the congregation more directly in the liturgical action.

Auditors or "Listeners" repre senting the laity at the Second Vatican Council, feels the proper task and mission of the layman is to consecrate or Christianize the prGfane world in which he lives. Inglessis said he believes the role ·of ·the laity as outlined in the Church schema now up foc discussion is too restrictive. ''The schema makes it appear that the layman has no other functiGn but to assist the clergy," he asserted. Inglessis, who holds doctorates In philosophy and theology, declared the mission of the laity is much more broad than that, and includes the con secration of the world. "But the world meant here is not ()DIy the Catholic world in which we live," he stressed, "but rather the world of profane realities in which we laymen spend our daily lives." He be lieves the profane world is a "mission field" closer to the lay man than it is to the cleric. Women Aadlton The presence of Auditors or "Listeners" at the Second Vati can Council, he said, indicated "official recognition on the part of the hierarchy of the work that has been accomplished and is being accomplished by the laity on national and. international levels." Inglessis is Executive Director of the International Council of Cat hoi i c Men" (ICCM), but as Auditor official ly represents the Catholic laity of the Oriental and Latin rites in the Middle East. Although pleased that Audi tors have been admitted to the Council, Inglessis said Auditors felt their name was too passive, since they wished they could speak and not only listen. Re stricting the number of Audi tors to 13, he said, made it im PGssible to have represented other very important groups like the medical world, the rural world, and the world of labor. He noted there are no women Auditors "but we hope they will be present, - if not in this ses sion~ then certainly in the ne'Xt, . atong with representatives of various professiona.N

Precedent

Taste of Fatherhood

Ellensiol

The most accurate summing up. of the character and person of the late Pope John was that given by Pope Paul shortly after he was elected. "Pope John," he said, "gave the world a taste of fatherhood." The warmth that exuded from the person of Pope John reached out and embraced all men. These saw in him the goodness and the strength and the kindness that every father strives to have. In him, indeed, did all men see a father. And now the Romans are beside themselves with joy at having glimpsed this same attitude in the person of Pope Paul. His considerable powers of mind and soul have been readily acknowledged. But on the occasion of his taking possession of the Cathedral of Rome last Saturday, the Romans were deeply touched at the warmth of his words and the heart that he revealed for them and to them. Here is another gift of God to the Church and to the world-another Pope who touches the hearts of men as well as their minds. His approach may be less easily seen than was the case with John, but the qualities of fatherhood are there for the world to feel and to know. All men are in need of love. This it is that moves them to be better and to reach out to God Who is, in St. John's definition, Love. Pope Paul promises to be a man who can impart to men the deepness of his own love for God and for them.

REV. JAMES A. CLARK Assistant Director Latin American Bureau, NCW(

Latin America Calling Immaculata College Ja Pennsylvania recently spo~ sored a symposium on Latin America at which the fea.

Sense of, Mystery People are' always looking for answers. The mind of man has unquenchable thirst for knowledge. The man who can examine a problem, reduce it to its simplest components, and then come up with the answer to it, is the man highly prized and eagerly sought after in every field of human endeavor. And the more men push back the frontiers of knowledge, ,so much the more do they realize the vastness of the un chartered lands beyond. There is always a danger. when it is a question of progress that man's boldness in seeking knowledge will make him lose the sense of wonder that any true seeker after wisdom must possess.' The late inventor and industrialist Thomas E. Murray, while a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, put it this way: "With each new discovery our sense of mystery and our need for God grow more profound; and our wonder is abandoned to wider areas in which we can get lost. How can the idea of an omnipotent God seem foreign to a civiliza tion which holds a kind of ingrown infinity in the head of a pin; or who beholds in the Milky Way a mere outpost of far-flung space?" The temptation of the seeker is to tie up knowledge in neat little packages with the tag that this has been thor oughly examined and grasped. The true approach is one of wonder. before God Who chooses to reveal Himself in His creation. That, then, is the needed attitude of this age-the attitude of reverential awe before God, of wonder at His creation, of mystery.

Clothing Drive The Annual Clothing Drive is for some people merely the opportunity to clean house. It is this, of course. But the good that will be done-and soon-by the gift of clothes to those who have little js beyond estimate. The response in this Diocese has been, as usual, enthusiastic. It should be a source of real happiness for people to know that the clothes they have given will be on their way, in a very short while, to the poor and the needy of other countries and of every race and creed. The gratitude that these will feel, in their hearts as they receive what could well mean the gift of life is'a prayer for all those who listened to the words of Christ: "I was naked, and you clothed me."

tured 'speaker was Professor Frank Tannebaum, professor emeri tu s of Latin American affairs for Co lombia Univer sity's School of Interna tional Affairs. Later capable students of Lat American life examined his paper .and his thesis: viz. That th e inevitable revolutions of Latin America must be more than mere violence and must change the existing structure of society to achieve lasting good. One of the themes threading its way throl,lgh the study groupe and talks was a desire to know what direction United State. Catholic aid should take to make an effective contribution 1;0 Latin America. A concise answer to this quandary was given ~ those who said that the primal'J' purpose of aid from United States Catholics should be to foster vocations in the LatiD American countries and to pro vide religious education fCll' both young and adults. Success Creates Problem As for vocations in BrazR there are now more than 23,000 young men stu d yin g for the priesthood. This is a result of a new attack on the problem of supplying vocations by the Bish ops who now use the latest au diovisual methods, regular con tact with parents and frequent sermons on the need and beau~ of the religious life. The problem of religious edu cation is being attacked by the use of transistor radios. These simple instruments without need of electricity or wires have given many mountain peo ple their first contact with the outside world. The Church distributes these to . the people and conducts courses in basic education and religious education from a cen tral transmitter. Radio schools are fablously successful through out Latin America. But again transistors and transmitters cost money! Need Talent Papal Volunteers who can re pair radios, prepare 'scripts, pro duce and transmit shows are .ill great demand. A field such • this demands talent of every sort: from the craftsman-repaill man to the author-producer. Professor Tannebaum was op. timistic about Latin America although fearful of the travail which the countries must suffer before they can overcome their great problems. He emphasized that the rejuvenation of the Cat hoI i c Church in LatiD America is one of the most hope ful aspects of the entire scene. Latin America looks toward a bright spiritual and material future. The Church is doing till utmost to provide the means f_

LOS ANGELES (NC) The Los Angeles City Coun cil has voted 10-0 to permit a· Nativity l;lcene to be erected on city property. Objection was immediately raised in telegrams to council members from the president of the southwest re gion of the B'nai B'rith Anti Defamation League. The City Attorney has been asked for a ruling. The request for the Nativity -rene on historic Mexican Plaza where the city was founded in 1781 was made by Mrs. Cons~Jelo Castillo de Bonzo, chairman of the Los Angeles Birthday Fiesta Committee. Though the Nativity 8(~ene would be set up on public land, no tax funds would be use,ii to finance its erection. Meanwhile, in Santa Monica, Calif., City Attorney Robert G. Cockins ruled that it is permis sible for church groups to set up Nativity scenes in a city Il8rk. Eighteen churches cooperate in setting up the scenes.

Earlier, however, Co(:kins ruled that distribution of reli gious literature through free, pamphlet racks in the same park _ Palisades Park - was illegaL The decision was requested by city Public Works Director Bart lett L.

Organists Sound Off on Wedding Music Requested 'Favorites' Biggest Problem ST. LOUIS (NC) - Several organists here have sounded off against the types of music and singers requested at Catholic weddings. "Requests for bad wedding music constitute the greatest aingle problem the parish or ganist has," said John Martens, organist and choir director at St. Peter's parish, Kirkwood. He said the "music selections being requested are based too often on Hollywood ideas of a wedding ceremony, rather than the Church's.,' Topping the list of music the organists said they would least like to hear at a Catholic wedding are five ''favorites'': the processional fro m Wagner's opera Lohengrin, the proces sional from Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dr e am," Schubert's "Ave Maria," the late Father Daniel Lord's "Mother Beloved" and Sister Theophane's ''Mother at You r Fee t Is Kneeling." , The organists use various sub terfuges to discourage what they consider the worst wedding music. For School Dance Charles Hammond, organist at Epiphany parish, uses a printed form listing appropriate music for a wedding. But, he admits ruefully, this approach doesn't always work. One mother aid recenUy: "Play anything you wish, Mr. Hammond, as long as you in clude 'Mother On My Feet You're Kneeling.' H Mrs. Frances Grassi, organist at All Saints' parish, University City, said some songs mothers and daughters request "weren't even written for use in church.·

the close of school dances, H she said. "It's fine for a school dance, but it frankly hasn't much bearing on the nuptial cere mony." Wilbur Diel, organist at Our Lady of Sorrows parish, St. Louis, said a similar charge can be brought against Wagner'. processional from Lohengrin. "It's anything but a wedding march," he said.

Shrine Asks Storm CAMERON (NC) - The shrine features a seven-foot marble statue of the Blessed Virgin with her arms around a ebild and an ipscription which reads: "Do Nat Harm Our Chil dren." ~ected as the result of a countywide· project as an inter cession for protection from future storms, the shrine was dE>dicated by Bishop Maurice Schexnayder of Lafayette, La., in this Louisiana town where H u r ric an e Audrey in 1957 ..nassed a toU of 500 victims.

Protection~

The Bishop suggested the shrine as a memorial to the vic tims of the 1957 storms. The shrine is located on the grounds of Our Lady Star of the Sea· parish, and faces the Gulf of Mexico a mile away. The statue is the work of En rico Randi, Italian sculptor, who was commissioned last year for the work by the Bishop while he was attending the Second Vatican Council. A 36-foot canopy which tops the statue was designed by Perry Segura, New Iberain, La., architect.

EII.iott's 'Little Girls's Gift' Beautiful, Inspiring Story'

God Love You'

~'2

By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. ROME - The other morning, before the daily Mass for the Council began, I met a bishop whom I did not immediately recog nize For he was dressed in purple, and the last time I had seen him in the ''bush,'' he had been dressed in torn khaki - the, only practical outfit for his primitive mission diocese.

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy The jacket of Lawrence Elliott's book A Little Girl's Gift (Holt, Rinehart and Winston. $2.95) carries what is obviously a school photograph of a pert, attractive child flashing an enchanting smIle and with lovely eyes alight. This is Janis Babson, who, at is a handsome volume, and the age of eight, was striken theIt reproductions are of good with leukemia, lived through quality. These are of originals a year of acute suffering, in many mediums: painting and and died serenely and heroically after willing those eyes to the Eye Bank in erder that others mig h t ee. Her story, 8imple but in tensely moving, .is well told by :Mr. Elliott, with hardly a touch of sentimental Ity or sacchar inity. It is a beautiful, Jnspiriting story whose strength and lustre would only be spoiled by tear-jerking tricks. For bravery, it can be an in spiration to almost ant reader. Janis was a Catholic, the daughter of a Canadian couple. Her father was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and she was born in Nova Scotia while her father wa!" on assign '-ment there. Later he Was given • post at headquarters in Ottawa, and in that city Janis spent most 'ot. her .few 'years. 'God's Will She was a gay, energetic child, 'IUnny in disposition but ambi tious and competitive in 'school. Her constant activity and her delightful personality impressed all who knew her. Then came the onset of an unaccustomed and at first· inexplicable weari 'ness, followed by the diagnosis of Ipnltem1a. Her parents knew from the start \hat only one outcome was possible. The doctor gave them no false hopes. They steeled tilemselves for the protracted ordeal. Realization came' gradually to .Janis. And when, finally, it was complete and death impended, ....e said, "It must be God's wIll • • • rve been praying so hard to get better and I always won dered why I didn't. Now I know -because God didn't mean for me to get better. He wants me." One Concern Her one concern was whether her purgatory would be long that and the urgently renewed Insistence that arrangements be made forthwith to insure the giving of her eyes. She also made a will, dictating to her mother the distribution of all her modest possessions. She was racked with pain, her appearance was r a d i call y changed, but her splendid spirit ahone out the more 'clearly in those ,circumstances. When, shortly after her death, the story of her donation to the Eye Bank became k now n through the press, there was a signal increase in such pledges in Ottawa and this has continued. Janis' brief history is impressive in itself, as an exemplification of the authentic Christian atti tude toward illness and death. Calendar of Saints In A Calendar of Saints (New man. $10.50), Vincent Cronin has brought together, from many parts of the world and from most of the Christian centuries, rep resentations of the saints. The likenesses are arranged in the order in which the subjects ap pear in the church's calendar. Sometimes the author bypasses the principal feast or saint of a day to get in a piece of art Which particular4' appeals to him. L

sculpture, woodcuts and ivories, tapestries and stained glass, death masks and photographs. Very scantily represented is contemporaiy art, with a few exceptions, such as a contempo rary Chinese painting of St. Thomas the Apostle. Servant Girl The reviewer's favorites are those representations which are not familiar. For example, there is a smiling (almost a grinning) stone sculpture of 51., Stephen of Hungary, as well as a pair of statues (apparently of gilded wood) of SS. Winebald and Walburga, who evidently didn't starve themselves. Another statue, vigorous and bright, is of St. Notburga, a Tyro lean :-ervant girl in medieval times. She is shown with a sickle in her hand. The explanation is that her farmer employer tried to make her ,work in the fields on Sunday. He did this, be said. because he feared that Monday might be rainy.' St. Notburga took her sickle and flung it into the air, where it remained as a crescent moon pledging a fair morrow. Bible at Home Mary Reed Newland has writ ten many books which have proved iBvaluable to Catholic parents. But none is so important as her' newest, The FamDy and the ,Bible (Random; $5.95). The Vatican Council is laying special stress on the Scriptures and their' familiar use by the Christian. Such use is best begun in the home. But the reading ex_ planation, and application of the Bible present special and considerable problems. She is speaking from experi ence. What she suggests is not drawn from theorizing but from established practice in her ,own home. But this practice is backed by acquaintance with the best in modern Catholic biblical scholarship. For Selective Readinl' .Appended to the text is a bib liOgraphy, covering both Qooks and periodicals. The bibliogra phy is annotated, showing the author's critical cognizance of alI these publications. If she, a ,very busy housewife with seven children, can do suc-h reading, there is no reason for every parent to attempt something of the sort acording to his or her capacity. Most of what Mrs. Newland has to say deals with the Old Testament. There are excellent observations as to the impor tance of the Old Testament to us today. one reason, for example, being the light that it sheds on who Christ is, and another being the help it gives us in under standing and appreciating the liturgy. Mrs. Newland sets forth a plan for a selective (but by no means skimpy) reading of the Old Testament. And then she pro ceeds with a commentary on specific books used in family reading.

Interfaith letter C)pposes Bias ST. LOUIS (NC)-Direct ac ti.ons to help solve racial dis c.rimination problems we r e pledged here by the three inter_ filith- leaders of the St. Louis C:onference on Religion and F~ace.

Joseph Cardinal Ritter, Rabbi Jerome W. GroHman and Rev. Dr. W. Sherman Skinner issued a joint letter that was read In churches and synagogues. The,. announced that: An interfaith procession and assembly for the cause of libertJ' antf, justice for all will be held In ,st. Louis Monday, Nov. 25. The board of the Conference on Religion and Race will work t!lrough its congregations to se cure jobs and job training for Jlfegroes" in the weeks immedi. ately ahead." Spokesmen for the conference amplified this pledge tel say that it inVolved between 200 and 300 jobs. Problems Remain

This bishop, and hundreds 01 others, remind the rest of . . wha.t bishops are for, namely, the service of the people. In the Missions they are not administrators there Is hardly anything to administrate; they are shepherds with their sheep, ser vants with their masters - the poor. The same is Vue of many bishops here from persecnted countries. They seem to be lirded with a towel. as was Our Lady the night of-the Last Supper when He washed the feet of His Apostles. In other words, they are what are ca.1led in Greek, Doulo. - slaves of the faithful and of all man kind. It is In this sPirit that the Holy Father calls himself: "the lervant of tile servants of God." It is the Will of God that we be beggars in the United States for these brother bishops, who are not judge. but servants of the people. If you could come to the Council and meet these hundreds of men who, in poverty, minister to the poor, how you too would yearn to be their serVants! They truly live the words St. Augustine so often repeated to his people!"'! am a Christian with you."

Mrs. Richard J. R-oss, the author of this letter and a mother of three, deplores our absorption with superiority in sports.

Sports, she says with gr·eat good sense, should be given back to "the rejects, to Ibe imperfect and the ill-coordinat~d." Mrs. Ross's well chosen words, more over, fit most .of us in every phase of life, and not just in sports. We'll hope that none of us ends up as a reject, but we're bound to be "imperfect and the nl-coordinated" in many way. as we go through life. Failure to Do Best But if this is true, what's aU Ibis jazz about the pursuit of mediocrity's being a disgrace to teen-agers? It sounds like you're already condemned to it. You'll just have to live with the fact that you can't beat the pros at their own games, that you can't. always rival the out standing beauties or the muscle men or the scientists ar other great scholars of the world. You can't be a genius unless God gave you the basic ingredients of genius to start with. All that is true. But it's also true that no one, least of all God, expects you to do any more than your best. On the other hand, He does expect you to do that much. So does everybody else. Mediocrity isn't failing to reach the moon on the first try. Nor is it failing to make the football team or even the de bate team. It's failing to do your best. . You have been given all kinds of marvelous instruments to work with - such as your senses and your intellect - and medio crity is simply a matter of making mediocre use of these instruments. This is the kind of mediocrity that should leave , teen-agers cold. Sense of Sight Take your sense of sight, for instance, and think of all you can accomplish with it. You can gain great knowledge through reading. You can look around 70u at the loveliness of nature and the beauty of other human beings. By using your mind and your sight, you can understand that the Creator of all this must be incredibly terrific if He was able to manufacture such won derful beings. You could, on the other hand, use your sense of sight only for things which don't count at all, never recognizing, for instance, that any beauty you see is only a vague shadow of infinite Beauty. You can spend a near lifetime using your sight pas sively, doing not h i n g but thoughtlessly watchiny, for in stance. Or you can use it ac tively, as it should be used:

Then try to go back and. waste it for the rest of your life. Truly Mediocre

You're been given a faculty that 19 most proper to you as a human being, your intellect, and it doesn't really matter whether your IQ is 90 or 190. The important thing is whether your 90 IQs are using all 90 and whether you 190s are using all 190. Any teacher will tell you that be enjoys both top and bottom classes, the latter, perhaps, more than the former. But he's not always completely sold on the middle groups. . And the reason is lrimple: While top and bottom classes alike are usually giving it Jill they have, no matter how much or how little that may be, very often the characters in the middle classes are those who are not the top groups because they are not using what they have. These are the truly mediocre. Spiritually, your IQ is as high as anyone else's, with the sky the limit, because in this field you have the help of God Him self. You might not be able to do mueh by yourself, but God and you can do anything. So you don't have to take' second place to anyone ill this line. Full Use of Talents Remember the story of the talents in the gospels? One ser vant was given five talents, an other two and a third one - the same as you people reading this. The one with five earned five more, and so merited hi. master's praise. The two-talent man earned two more with his. But the poor chump with one went out and buried it. And he got fired. Mediocrity, then, the kind to be ashamed of, is the failure to use your God-given potentiali ties - your talents, your energy and your enthusiasm. The full use of your particular talents may conquer worlds for you, ar it may not, depending much on the eXtent of your talent and

circumstances. But the important thing is that you use all you have, that you hit the peak of excellence you are capable of, lhat you stay young enough to look to the worth of the goal first and only then to the means involved.

Non.Residential Bishops A Coadjutor or Auxiliary Bishop is one appointed to help the Bishop of a diocese who i:s unable to govern lris see alonl~ because of old age, III health, vastness of territory or excessiVI~ number of faithful. They are not equal to residen·· should not have the same rights tial bishops. It is felt that they It!st there be confusion of author··

ny.

But many other bishops exist that are not even of this auxil iary type. Some want the num ber of bishops multiplied but fo:r only a serious reason. Many of fices, such as those of the Curia, could be done as well by priests if not even better by competent laymen. Exiled bishops often have no work. They should be given as auxiliaries to larger dioceses o:r assigned to some suitable office, it was thought. The practice of appointing titular bishops was thought unrealistic and "ecu menically offensive." "No one should be consecrated a Bishop just to honor him or the office he holds. If a man is consecrated a· Bishop, then he should be a Bishop and nothing else." (Card. Frings). Resignations The present schema on Bishops recommends compulsory resig nation of Bishops at 75 years of age. It is stressed, however, that this is not retroactive but will concern the bishops appointed after the Council legislation is approved. The matter provoked a lively debate with close to equal op posing sides. Those who favor it stress the efficient government of a diocese and the adequate care of souls. Appointment of auxiliary bishops seems not enough. "Old age tends to tie a man still more to his office and authority, and there is great danger of self-decepHon. It is true that there are many men who can still govern a diocese after the age of 75, but there are many more men who cannot,'" (Archbp. Mingo.) ~nuine juridical norms clar ifying the reasons for resigna· tion were called for. For those who fear to resign because they will have no place to go o:r means of support, a common fund was suggested to which all the world's bishops would eon· tribute. . First Fruits A reliable source reported that the documents on the Com·· munications Media and the Lit. urgy would be promulgated on Saturday, Nov. . 30th. (Thl~ Fathers received copies of thle amended Communications Media schema for final approval) If so, many liturkical provi. sions would be immediately ap·Jewish Statment plicable. Those dealing with thle vernacular languages will havle to wait for action by the national hierarchies, however.

Wichita Catholics Join Rights March WICHITA (NC) - Wichita Catholics came out in force tl) join in a march for fair housinl~ and civil rights here. The 4,000 marchers were met .t City Hall by Wichita Mayo:r ~rald Byrd and the city',s Human Relations Commission.. The march was sponsored by thle Wichita Committee for Promo tion of a fair housing ordinance,. Speakers inc 1 u d e d Father Robert F. Pepe, Holy Saviolr pastor, who represented the Wiebita diocese. In 1be march were priests and members of the Diocese Council of Catbo-. lie Women, -a tbe Ca~ ~Adu&.

A special report entitled '~e Attitude of Catholics Toward Non - Christians, particularly toward the Jews" was circulated among the Fathers. It will be the 4th Chapter of the Schema on "Ecumenism." It is the fruit of two years work by the Secre tariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity. Entirely religious in content and purpose it refers to the Jews not as a race but as the Chosen People of the Old Testament, stating that: 1. The Church has its roots in the Covenant of Abraham 'and his descendants. Here were the foundations of the plan of salva tion that culminated in the Savior of· all mankind-Jesus Christ, the .Son of David,. De scendant of Abraham, according to the flesh. 2. The responsibility for Our Lord's death falls upon sinful mankind. Christ willfully of fered Himself for the sins of every man. Personal guilt of the Jewish I e a d e r s cannot be charged to the whole Jewisl1 people of His time or today. It is therefore unjust to call this people "deicide" or "cursed." 3. The Church can never for get that it was from Abraham's stock that came Christ, our Blessed Mother and the ApO!~tles. 4. Though the Council will not deal with the various causes of Anti-Semitism, it insists that the sacred events of the Bible and in particular its account of the Crudifixion, cannot give rise to disdain or hatred or persecu tion of the Jews. Preachers and catechists are admonished to never present a contrary position; furthermore, they are urged to promote mutu al understanding and esteem. 5. The Council insists that its content and purpose is purely religious and not part of any Pro-Zionist or Anti-Zionist ac tion.

Mass Tomorrow For Professor A Solemn High Mass of Requi_ em will be offered tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in St.

Thomas Aquinas Church, Jamai ca Plain, for the repose of the soul of Dr. John P. Sullivan, d'irector of guidance at Stonehill College. Dr. Sullivan, guidance direc tor at the college since 1956, died suddenly Tuesday morning. Formerly associated with the Boston Public School system, he received his Ph.D. degree from Boston College. In 1954, Dr. Sullivan received the Headliner Award from the Boston Press Club for initiating American Education Week and one year later was honored by the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge. He was the author of numer ous articles on education.

Attack on Pope Saddens Rabbi COPENHAGEN (NC) - Den mark's Chief Rabbi, Marcus Melchior, commented on Rolf Hochhuth's controversial play, "The Deputy" as it opened here and said it is "really sad" to ex perience an "attack upon a dead man who has no opportu nity to defend himself." The play criticizes Pope Pius XII for not speaking out against nazi persecution of Jews. "I think," Rabbi Melchior said, "that there is a misunder standing if anyone believes that Pope Pius XII could have ex erted any influence upon the brain of an insane man. Tragic Timing

·Withdraws Order Sacred Congregation Removes Restriction Or:' Granting Honorary Degrees ST. LOUIS (NC)-The Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities has withdrawn its order calling for U. S. Catholic universities to get its approval before giving honorary degrees. A copy of the letter withdrawing the original order was received here by Father Paul C.· Reinert, S.J., president of St. Louis University. The letter apparently leaves the decree in full force for all Catholic universities outside .the United States, but withdraws it insofar as U. S. institutions ai'e concerned. Power from state Rome sources said the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities made the regulation last May, after St. Louis Univer_ sity had conferred an honorary doctoral degree on ·Father Hans Kueng, controversial theologian from the University of Tuebingen, Germany, when he visited here. Word that the Congregation had withdrawn its regulation came to Father Reinert here through the office of the Supe rior ~neral of the Society of Jesus in Rome. ·''We were happy to learn of this decision," Father Reinert

said, "for when we first were in formed of the regulation we felt that there was some misunder standing on the part of the Con gregation concerning the opera tion of American Catholic colleges and univsrsities. "Catholic universities, like all other universities in the United States, receive their charters and their power to grant civil degrees from the state in which they are located. Hence the con ferring of a civil degree is a legal matter. The Sacred Con gregation of Seminaries and Universities makes it a practice to avoid interference in the in-

ternal legal matters of any

country," he said.

"In rescinding its regulation

to require American eatholic colleges and universities to seek its approval before granting honorary degrees, the Congrega tion is reaffirming its respect for this practice," Father Reinert said.

"If the Pope had opened his

mouth, Hitler would probably have murdered even more than six million Jews and perhaps also 10 times 10 million Catho lics, if he could have borne the loss of so many human lives. "Personally, I feel a genuine thirst for justice, in taking sides against the play * * * It is tragic that this drama should appear right at this time, when Catho lics, under Pope John XXIII and his successor, are trying to brings about tolerance among sects."

EDMONTON (NC)-Wel fare Minister L. C. Halmrast of Canada"s Alberta province asserted religion a Ion e should not be allowed to stand in the way of finding a good home for a child offered for adoption. Halmrast said the Alberta C'aobinet now is considering a proposal to amend the prov ince's laws so children could be adopted regardless of religious differences between a child and prospective adoptive parents. . The number of children, both Catholic and non-Catholic, eli gible for adoption is increa,sing rapidly, he said, and if homes are not found for them within a few years, the pr~vince govern ment will have to build an in stitution to care for them. The problem is more' acute in connection with Catholic chil dren chiefly because of the shortage of adoption applications from Catholic homes, Halmrast said. He said that of 1,600 Cath olic children, 304 are in homes where adoption is contem plated; while of 1,150 non-Cath_ olic children, 983 are in homes awaiting adoption. Encourage Catholics Halmrast stressed that if the province government approves the proposed legislation, at tempts still would be made to .place children for adoption ac cording to the religion of their mothers. He said the legislation would give the government op portunity to place Catholic chil dren in Protestant homes if oc casions arose where such place ment could be made, and vice versa... Halmrast said existing legisla_ tion requires a child be adopted only by choice of the mother un less the mother signs a release which would allow piacing the child in any home. The Catholic clergy, Halmrast'said, is doing everything possible to encourage more Catholics to adopt Catho lic children. He said nearly every Canadian province is now facing a similar problem. He pointed out that Manitoba province last year amended its adoption laws by removing religious barriers in adoption cases.

IVatican Council Week Sees Fathers Clash on Curia Role I

No one is ever accused, jUdged, and con demned without a thorough pre vious investigation carried on with the help of competent Con sultors and experil~nced specia lists."
