U. S.Bishops Show Unity and Concern WASHINGTON (NC) - In a meeting that moved so smoothly it ended a day early, the bishops of the United States called for peace in Southeastern Asia and at home, renewed efforts in Catholic education, and streamlined annulment procedures. The bishops also set up an office to implement their ambitious and sometimes controversial study of the priesthood, began implementing a Vatican decree on lay mini,stries, and called for farm reforms. Attending the conference from the Diocese of Fall River were: Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River; Most Rev. James J. Gerrard, Auxiliary Bishop of Fall River~ Most Rev. James L. Connolly, former Bishop of Fall River. Some 240 bishops came to a suburban Washington hotel for the annual meeting of the hierarchy's two organizations: the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) which deals with liturgy, ecumenism, the

It was also announced by the Committee that a wire service system between the USCC National Catholic News Service and the diocesan newspapers was "nearing reality" as <:ommitments have been made by 70 of the 80 diocesan newspapers needed to begin the ,operations.

. Father Mahoney stressed that the Catholic Relief Services has placed special emphasis on the need for lightweight clothing, men's trousers, infant wear, piece goods and remnants, and bedding materials. Large amounts of clothing will be sent to Bangladesh where CRS is conducting an emergency' aid program for victims of the conflict that devastated much of the country last year and left millions homeless. Other areas in great need are the Philippines and Korea where recent floods destroyed personal belongings 'of thousands and Vietnam, Burundi and Sudan. Last year Ameri~an Catholics donated nearly 16 million pounds of clothing to the campaign. Contributions in the Fall River Diocese amounted to. more than 96,000 pounds. The purpose of this drive is twofold: to distribute clothing items to needy men, women' and children in some 70 countries; and use some of the materials in thousands of sewing cooperatives where clothing is re-styled in local fashions and sizes. Catholic Relief Services is the official overseas aid and development agency of the U. S. bishops, clergy and laity. It provides aid throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America by distributing food, medical supplies, used clothing and by establishing selfhelp programs.

Education In a carefully balanced pastoral message, their first in four years, the bishops called for a continuation and improvement of all educational efforts, including Catholic schools and religious education for Catholic students in other schools. The 28-page statement, en· titled, "To Teach as Jesus Did," says Catholic schools "afford the fullest and best opportunity" for Christian education of the young and asks parents and educators to work to save and improve the Catholic School system. The importance of other religious education efforts is de· scribed In detail.

The resolution was ~pproved by a 186 to 4 vole after several important revisions and lengthy debates on two days of the four· day meeting. Abbot Edmund McCaffrey of Belmont Abbey, N.C., a critic of opponents of the war, successfully argued that the statement should acknowledge that wars of "self-defense" are permissible. The statement does say, however, that "war is not an apt means of settling disputes," and it urges a "quest for viable means of preventing war." The resolutio,n repeated a 1971

Bishop John Quinn of Oklahoma City-Tulsa, chairman of the Committee on Pastoral Research and Practices, said his panel would make a study of the problems of women' and the ministries. Investments

Bishop Stresses World Peace LONDON (NC)-Europe must be careful not to secure its own peace and welfare at the expense of the rest of the world-especially of the developing nationsLutheran Bishop Albrecht Schonherr of East Germany told a Remembrance Day service Nov. 12 in Westminster Abbey. Remembrance Day is celebrated annually in Britain with memorial and church services to commemorate the dead of both world wars. Bishop Schonherr's sermon in' Westminster Abbey marked the first time that an East German prelate has preached in the historic Anglican church. He is the presiding bishop of the East German section of the Protestant Church Council in Germanywhich is predominantly Lutheran -and the Lutheran bishop of East Berlin and Brandenburg. He was confirmed in the latter office Nov. 4 by the East German Lutheran Synod.

Bishop Raymond Gallagher of Lafayette, chairman of the Social Development Committee, said a study was in progress on investing money in minority banks and barring investment in industries which in any way cause human misety. New Saint The bishops have asked Pope Paul "to proceed expeditiously" on the beatification and canonization of Bishop Frederic Baraga, the first bishop of Marquette and called "Apostle to the Indians." The bishop's statement said: "Bishop Baraga's valiant efforts for just treatment of the American Indians, his complete dedication to the priesthood, his missionary zeal, prayer life, readiness to endure discomfort and suffering, voluntary self-denial are all examples of the qualities of holiness much needed by priests and people today."

U.S. Catholic Conference and the head of the panel which drew up the pastoral, said the statement was "not a popular pamphlet designed for mass circulation."

A Europe concerned only with itself can make no contribution to world peace, Bishop Schonherr told the packed 11 th-century abbey. A self-centered ~u足 rope, he said, will endanger peace in a new way: by widening the gulf between the hungry world and the well-fed peoples.

Instead, he said, the pastoral was written for "middle management" decision makers in Catholic education to implement as they see fit. "It's up to them to popularize its views in the idiom of local conditions," he said.

He said that a Europe that recalled the sacrifices its people had made in the cause of many internecine wars will need to be ready to make comparable sacrifices for peace, security, and world development.

must and will act now to adopt such measures and face such challenges as these." Also in the same section, the pastoral devotes much space to "Religious Education Outside the Catholic School." The bishops acknowledge that Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) programs "face serious problems which should be the concern of the entire Catholic community." To overcome the difficulties, the bishops say: "As a matter of policy religious education progress for Catholic students who attend public and other non-Catholic schools should receive high priority everywhere, a priority expressed in adequate budgets and incr~ased service from professional religious educators." Specifically, the prelates suggest that CCD and religious programs in Catholic schools be drawn closer together through such means as "common funding of all catechetical education in a parish .for both the school and out-of-school programs." During the bishops' consideration of the pastoral, Auxiliary Bishop George Lynch of Raleigh, N.C., proposed an amendment to the document that said, in part, "Those in charge of Catholic institutions of higher learning contrary to the doctrines of the Catholic faith should not be permitted under the guise of ac-. aqemic freedom or for any other alleged reasons." The proposal was defeated by a voice vote, apparently because the bishops felt that it was too specific for a document that strives for a general approach to the conditions of Catholic education in this country. Changes that were approved by the bishops did not significantly alter the document. Auxiliary Bishop William McManus of Chicago, chairman of the Education Committee of the

But Krock' has deservedly had , the reputation for decades of being a political pundit, and pundits, by definition, can be expected to rush in where even seers would, normally fear to tread. Krock proved to be no exception in this regard. While concluding that, in the wide sense of the term, President Nixon really ha~ no mandate at all, and while repeatedly declining to play the role of prophet, in the end he could not resist making at least lone tentative prediction about: the probable course of events in the next couple of years. He, cautiously ventured the opinion that i "perhaps" we will finally get compulsory ,arbitration of strikes in transportation and communications. He was frank enough to say that he does not expect President Nixon himself to support any substantial curb on labor's power. In fact, he came rather close to saying that during the qmrse of the recent campaign b9th President and Senator McGovern sold out to organized labor for partisan political purposes. iHope Krock's only hope, then, is that "the rank-and-file, the socalled blue-collar workers, whom the President attracted from the Democrats in such numbers," may eventually come to understand ,that compulsory arbitration is in their own best interests. Only if they "finally see themselves as much of the victims of nationally paralyzing strikes as the rest of the peopie," he wrote, "can the union officials, wh'o are masters of Congress, be overthrown." This is a familiar theme in the writings of Krock. For as long as I can remember, he has been advocating-I almost said demanding-cotnpulsory arbitration as the only possible way to keep the trains and trucks running and to prevent strikes in the nation's far-flung communications industry.

Peron Not Granted Papal Audience ROME (NC) - Former Argentine dictator Juan D. Peron did not receive a papal audience on his stay here because of the political ,situation in Argentina. Although he was not received by Pope Paul VI, one of the Pope's top diplomatic troubleshooters, Archbishop Agostino Casaroli, visited with Peron for more than an 'hour Nov. 15 at his hotel. Peron, the one-time strong man of Argentine politics, who has spent the past 17 years in

exile, most of' it. in Spain, visited Rome Nov. 14 and 15 enroute to Buenos Aires, where he is expected to play a major role in the coming March elections. Considerable pressure had been brought on the Vatican to have Peron received by the Pope. The former dictator was excommunicated in the 1950s for repressive acts against the Church in Argentina. The excommunication was lifted by the Vatican in 1963 by Pope John XXIII at the dictator's request.

HOW YOU CAN HELP INDIA'S POOR TO HELP THEMSELVES

The answer is easy: they welcome the opportunity to do something needed where it's needed. Sometimes, besides, they build the church in memory of their loved ones, name it for their favorite saint.... Where is a new church needed? In hundreds of towns and villages in our 18 country mission world. In Palakal, South India for instance•••• The parishioners have tried for several years to build a church on their own. They have pooled their meagre financial reo sources as well as their physical energies. The poverty of the parishioners prevents continua· tion of the work. You can complete this church all by yourself for as little as $3,000; You'll be doing something needed, where it's needed, for Christ-lind for people who cannot do for themselves.••. Do somethirig at least, as much as you can ($100, $75, $50, $25, $20, $15, $10, $5, $3, $1) to help build this church! Your gift 'of any size.will be a Godsend! ••. Have you been looking for something meaningful to do? 'Help these people build a simple but lasting church. Father Kakkachery, the pastor of Palllkal, will write to thank you on behalf of his people. We will send you a sketch of the proposed church, when we thank you.

Archbishop Mar GregorJos will write personally to say where he'll locate it if you enable him to buy ($975) two acres of land as a model farm for a parish priest. Raising his own food the priest can teach his parishioners howto increase their crop production. (A hoe costs only $1.25, a shovel $2.35.)

First and Foremost The Center for Applied Research has taken a survey among seminarians and has come up with the comforting conclusions' that these future priests consider spiritual formation to be of the utmost importance in their training. It has been fashionable in recent years for some Catholic institutions 'of learning to take a poor view of themselves intellectually, whether or not the attitude was justified by the facts. It seems that some seminaries, in their desire not to be considered "backwater outfits" educationally, rushed to re-examine faculties and courses and to be sure that these were' intellectu~lly demanding and comparable to those graduate schools of other disciplines. All this is well and good. But there has lurked the fear in the hearts of some that the emphasis on the intellectual may have been a c c o m - " - , panied by a de-emphasis of the spiritual.

Asks R.enewed Mi!;sionary Vision

Thinking and Thanking To thank really means to think. It means to have the awareness that much has been given to one that he should nQt take for granted. It is the epitome of selfishness for a person to assume that all that he has and is belongs to him by right. The 'very gift of life is, the gift of God. And the many advantages of being born in a certain time and place and , under certain Circumstances 'and with certain talents and abilities should give great reason for thinking and for. thanking. ' If one thinks of how life is lived each day in the presence of God and with the ever-present assistance that He gives, this is enough to be in awe of all that is given to one. But it does require that a person.think. We are living in an age of activity. People are forever urged to be: doing something. The person who wishes to merely sit" and think is looked upon as either lazy or a little strange but certainly out of step with the age. And yet there is a great place for thought, for reflection, for contemplation, for just thinking. Thanksgiving time is a time to justify the value of thinking so that the prayer and act of thanksgiving might be the more worthy a~d meaningful.

Asserts Priests Obliged to Read Breviary. Daily VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Church has changed practically everything about the Breviary, the daily prayerbook of priests, except the obligation to read it . daily. Archbishop Ferdinando Lambruschini of Perugia, former professor of moral theology at Rome's Lateran University, said in the Vatican magazine, L'Osservatore della Domenica, that clerics in major orders have for centuries been bound by this daily obligation. The archbishop stopped short of saying specifically that the unwarranted failure to read the Breviary is a mortal sin. Instead, he marshalled his argument along the lines that. theologians and canon lawyers have in the past unanimously agreed that reading the Breviary is a serious obligation and that the Church has not rescinded the binding force-even though "the word obligation today is barely tolerated by many." The archbishop admitted that recent directives on the use of the Breviary did not spell out the gravity of this obligationwhether omission is a mortal or venial sin-but he said that the Code of Canon Law, which orders this daily recitation, also fails to specify that point. 'Precept of Church' The archbishop was replying to a question from a priest who said that many of his fellow priests no longer recite the Breviary because they claim that the obligation no longer binds under penalty of mortal sin. "The behavior of your fellow priests 1n failing to recite the Breviary is no argument for contesting a precept of the Church," the archbishop said. In recent years, the Church has completely reshaped the Breviary-shortening it, translating it from Latin to the vernacular and, as the archbishop said, tried to make it a book of "deep meditation." According to a directive that becomes effective this coming Jan. 1, the maior order of the subdiaconate will be suppressed, leaving only deacons, priests and bishops in major orders.

communities were dragging their feet in complying with renewal decrees issued by VaNcan II.

The response of some in the Church to Vatican II was an overemphasis on activism. Today's amazing growth of the charismatic movement represents a swing of the pendulum back to the ancient tradition of contemplative prayer. But some have never forgotten that tradition. One of them is Sister Mary, O.P., the former Alice C. Keefe of Fall River, who for nearly 40 years has been a cloistered Dominican nun at the Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary in Summit, N. J. A graduate of Dominican Academy, Durfee High School, and Bridgewater Normal School, she .taught at the Fowler, Lincoln and Brayton Avenue schools in the city before enter,ing religion, also serving for several years as sacristan at St. Mary's Cathedral and after school hours tutoring boys who needed academic help to qualify as seminarians.

The Sisters could have told them that benefits to users include a remarkable lack of tooth decay and an almost complete absence of colds. Gardening consumes several hours of the Sisters' day, in season, but it is only a peripheral occupation. Their main work, explains Sister Mary, is that of perpetual recitation of the rosary in the presence of "the most Blessed Sacrament, solemnly and perpetually exposed." Silence is observed in the monastery and meat is never eaten. (Vegetarianism is another point of similarity the. Sisters have with many of today's young commune dwellers.) Referrals if Necessary Also up to date is the community's method of sifting applications for entrance. "Routine psychiatric examinations are not required, hut this does not rule out referrals in questionable vocations," notes Mother Marie Rosaria. Scripture reading has received dncreased .emphasis since Vatican n, says the prioress, and Sisters have .been studying new directions in theology. Practical wOl'ks of the community include printing, calligraphy, photography, sewing and the making of rosaries, jams and jellies for sale in the cloister's gift shop. "The enclosure is here to stay," concluded Mother Marie Rosaria. "Our twentieth-century pace may be faster, but the rhythm is the same. We work, we pray; the days pa~s, full of Christ; the seasons unfold; the fasts, the feasts go by; the Divine Office, work of God, sails to his throne on seas of'psalmody; the fifteen mysteries glide up ,in endless fleets to the Lady .and her Son." And Sister Mary says of her life as a cloistered contemplative: "Eternity will not be too long for me to thank God."

Several times a year my husband and I make short business trips, and the kids love it. They feel they are on vacation when we're, gone. My 19-year-old niece is our "babysitter" and "she's fun."

Anti-Abortion Loses In Vermont Town, COLCHESTER (NC) - Colchester selectmen have been advised, by a whisker, not to attempt to zone out of business Vermont's first abortion clinic. The vote on a zoning ordinance aimed at the clinic was 1423 in favor and 1486 against. Town Clerk Russell Smith termed the whole procedure "an exercise in futility." He maintained that even if the selectmen attempt to require abortions be performed in a "licensed, accredited facility", the move could be overturned on the ground they lack such authority. The abortion issue will reach the Legislature in January. SinCE: the Vermont Supreme Court invalidated a 126-year-old abortion statute earlier this year, the state has been without an abortion law. The clinic here has' performred 60 abortions since mid-September.

CINCINNATI (NC) The Franciscan Sisters of the Poor have agreed to give old St. Mary hospital here to an inner city Health Center. Their action, subject to the completion of plans by the cen· ter and meeting of legal requirements, will make it possible for the site where the Sisters have provided. hospital care for 113 years to continue as a place of health care. for the community.

Anything I could imagine wasn't good. I called my parents. My father told me he had stopped to see the kids less than an hour before, but he'd walk over again.

The West End Health Center board has taken an option to buy the inner city hospital prop· erty for $1, a token payment to meet the requirements of a binding contract.

He called us back. "Everything's normal. The TV is going, the record player is louder than the TV ... and the radio is blasting over that. They all insist that the phone never rang." On another night, my husband placed the call and one of our older daughters answered.

Plans call for demolition of the hospital building, which has been empty since last May, when the last St. Mary's patients were transferred to the new Provi. dence hospital in suburban Mt. Airy.

Nope, Daddy "Hi, it's Daddy. How's everything going?" "Fine." "Does anyone there want to talk to me?" There was a long pQuse, while she covered the phone, and called to the other kids. Then she came back on the line, "Nope. No one wants to talk to you, Daddy," and she hung up! He stood there with the dead phQne in his hand, completely put down, wondering what wa~ going on that they wanted to get rid of him so quickly.

A REFUGEE BEFORE HE CAN EVEN WALK: Conflicts in the Middle East, Vietnam, Burundi, and in too many other lands continue to add to the roles of the unfortunate displaced humans. As always in times of tragedy, it is the young and innocent who suffer the most. This little refugee is waiting fOf your gift of clothing during the, week of Nov; 26-Dec. 2.

In spite of the peace and quiet for a few days, I do miss them when we're away. It's always good to get home. The last trip had to be extended to a full week ... the longest we ever left them. As we walked in the door, one of the boys looked up from the sports pages, "Oh ... hi. You home ,already? I thought you were going to stay a long time this trip?" It's great to feel needed.

A new two-story clinic is to be erected by a non-profit federally funded planning agency. Federal grants are expected to provide funds for the new center, which is expected to offer comprehensive medical services to people of all ages.

Women Com'pare ~borti9n, Ruling, Dred Scott Case , :

WASHINGTON (NC) - A fullpage advertisement in the Washington Post by the Women for the Unborn. organization has compared the U.S. Supreme Court's Dred Scott riding defending slavery with the. New York State qourt of Appeals decision upholding the state's liberal abortion I law. The advertisement, appearing in the Post.'s Oct. 31 edition, said the appeals I court on July 7, 1972 had ruled an unborn baby was' human, . but did not enjoy legal rights under the New York State Constitution: In adjoining boxes, the advertisement stated what the women's group felt the U.S. Supreme Court and the New York court had ruled in their opinions. I 'Good People Approve' Said one b,ox with a view at. lributed to the Supreme Court: "Enslaving bl,acks must be right because so m~ny good people approve of it." In another ,box, the New York court ..is purported to say: "Aborting babies must be right because so many good peop1e approve of it." . Mrs. Diane ,Arrigan of Merrick, N.Y., a 32~year·old Catholic mother of four children and president of Women for the Unborn, said the advertisement had resulted from research by her 2,OOO-member; giloup and was placed in the Post with funds supplied by' the 400-member Women for .Life organization. She said it, had gone into the Post because the Supreme Court now is considering two abortion cases from Georgia and Texas. Similar ads earlier had been placed in the Post and New York Daily News: and olhers are planned for the newspapers in the future, she said.

At hearings before the House Ways and Means Committee in 'August, the· administration expressed support for legislation to provide a tax credit of up to $200 a year to parents 'of nonpublic school children. The committee subsequently approved the bill, but no further action was taken before Congress adjourned,

Co~troversy

Ov'er Religion in Textbooks

SACRAMENTO (NC) - The California Board of Education here heard 50 witnesses debat-' ing the pros and cons' of including religious theories about the origin of life in science textbooks to be used by the state's elementary schools. The day-long debate arose from a report by the board's Commission on Curriculum Development, suggesting guidelines for the selection of textbooks for public schools. The commission report recom· mended that: Dogmatism in science texts be removed or changed to conditional statements. Scientific theories of ~volution should not be extended· beyond the realm of science into speculation relating to "ultimate cause." . Unresolved questions wi'thin' , scientific theories should be presented along with the theories. A spokesman for the board's Bureail of Textbooks told NC News that if the guidelines are implemented, science textbooks selected by the state board must I ignore" the questions of the ultimate origins of man, life, or the universe. Neither pro-creationist nor anti-creationist attitudes would be acceptable,- the spokesman said. 'Out of Place' The spokesman added that most, of the science textbooks currently in use already conform to the proposed guidelines. If implemented he said; the new guidelines would only affect "a few sentences," in a couple of textbooks. Supporters of the curriculum commission's recommendations include scientists and representatives of the Catholic, Episco-

palian, Jewish and Buddhist reo ligions. Opposition came from funda· mentalist religious groups such as the Baptists and Seventh Day Adventists. One of those arguing for' the new guidelines was Father Jame!: Chu:rch, assistant superirttendent of the Catholic schools in the Sacramento diocese. I "Religion is out' of place in science," he said. "The, obIects of ]'eligion and science are too . different to be studIed to/?ether." 'Ridicule of Religion' Father Church called previous attempts to combine science and theplogy a failure. "Science teaches the 'what' and 'hbw,' religion the 'why' and 'who' of origination," he said. In view of the different meth-

Ca:th.olics Cooperate With Buddhists HONG KONG (NC) - A Religious Friendship' Group was formed here to set up ecumenical bonds between Catholiqs ~nd Buddhists and other non-Christian religions. . Representing Bishop francis J:lsu Chen-Ping of Hong Kong, the group visited the Hong ~(mg Buddhist' Association he~dqliar ters recently to discuss coopera· tion in social welfare and !educational activities. In the bishop's name tM grQup also :invited the Buddhist association to be represented at the celebration Nov. 26 of the Feast of Christ the King. The Bud· dhists accepted. The Catholic group includes one Italian priest, a Chin~se priest, a Chinese Sister, a Chinese school director and two Chinese university students.

ods and purposes of science and theology, he said, if religion theories were presented under the guise of science "the end result would be the ridicule of religion." , "Science is the study of the works of God as they are," Father Church said "This is without commercials, and none are needed. No one h,as to say, 'This rainbow was brought. to you by almighty God'." Mrs. Jean Sumrall, a housewife from Los Gatos, Calif., replied that equal rights under the constitution should include "the right of a Christian child to entertain· the possibility that he may be a child of God rather than a descendent of ... African apes."· . Disagreeing, Dr. David Hogness, a Stanford University .biochemist, contended that "the arguments against evolutionary principles must be placed in the same arenas as those advanced by the Flat Earth Society." '''Scientific evidence for divine creation abounds in nature," shot back Dr. George F. Howe, professor at Los Angeles Bapitst College. "The origin of .life is inexplicable in the evalution view but understandable in creationist . terms." .

Urge .Jointly Built Christian Schools LONDON (NC) - The annual meeting here of Britain's Catholic Renewal Movement (CRM) called for the building Of Christian schools jointly by several denominations to provide urgently needed new schools- and to "give a larger Christian dimension to religious education." The CRM conference also called for more facilities for religious education of Catholic parents so the "children and their parents do not grow apart as the learning of the young outpaces that of adults." The conference, attended by about 50 persons. from all over Britain, rejected their executives' call for a year of study and prayer before deciding on recommendations. Members said they felt that the urgency especially of new school construction requires immediate action rather than more study and contemplation.

Catholics Oppose Peace Proposa I For Vietnam SAIGON (NC) - More than 10,000 Catholics of North Vietnamese origin demonstrated here to protest the proposed peace agreement between the United States and the North Vietnamese. In a well-organized demonstration, older Catholic laymen supervised the crowd, made up mostly of young people. Many of those present said they had been encouraged at Masses to join the demonstration, but few of the priests who direct parishes in the villages populated by refugees from the north in Bienhoa province east of Sa'igon were present. One of the documents given to the press by the organizer of the demonstration criticized Henry A: Kissinger, President Nixon's • adviser on national security. Most of the older Catholics had come South in 1954 when the communists took power in North Vietnam after the war with the French. They form a considerable part of the popular support for President Ngyen van Thieu. Against Coalition Police did not interfere with the hour-long demonstration, which government sources said had been approved in advance. Demonstrators shouted: "No tripartite coalition government," "North Vietnamese Communists wjthdraw all troops to the north," "Smash the National Council for Reconciliation and Concord." The proposed agreement provides for a national council to supervise the setting up of a new poHtical structure in South Vietnam after a cease-fire, but does not call for the withdrawal of any Communist troops to the north. Although Catholics of South Vietnamese origin did not participate in the demonstration, they have also expressed disagreement with the proposed peace agreement.

Ask Bishops Follow Vatican Directives HARTFORD (NC)-The bishops of the United' States were .urged by Catholics United for the Faith to insure that religious instruction follows Vatican directives. The organization's Northeast Regional Forom called on the bishops to require that religious instruction follow the Vatican's General Cathechetical Directory and that marriage courses include a complete explanation of Humanae Vitae, Pope PElUl VI's encyclical which restates the Church's condemnation of contraception. The bishops were also asked to help parents provide sex education for their children rather than sponsor sex education courses in Catholic schools. The delegates also asked the bishops to allow celebration of the New Order of the Mass in Latin, and they attended a new Latin-English Mass celebrated by Archbishop John F. Whealon of Hartford. About 400 persons, mostly from. the Northeast, attended the meeting.

Appea Is Decision On Tax Credits WASHINGTON (NC) - The New York committee for Public Education and Religious Liberty (PEARL) has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court a federal court decision upholding the constitutionality of tax credits for parents of nonpublic school children. . Last month a three-judge panel in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York upheld, by a 2 to 1 vote, the con· stitutionality of New York state legislation allowing tax credits to parents Whose incomes are less than $25,000 for tuition paid to nonpublic schools. . Asking the Supreme Court to review the case, PEARL, a coalition of 33 organizations in New York state opposing state ·aid to nonpublic schools, contended that tax credits were "an in. genious attempt to do by indirection what it is forbidden to do direc,tly-namely, finance tuition payments to schools that provide sectarian instruction and religious worship.

Worker-Priest Experiment in Hong Kong HONG KONG (NC) - Three priests are serving as workerpriests in Hong Kong on a sixmonth experimental basis to discover whether or not a foreigner can be an effective witness for Christianity as a worker-priest among the Chinese.

Father Eisinger started working in a knitting mill, but the machines were so noisy that he could not converse with his fellow workers, so he transferred

to the plastics factory, where the noise is minimal. The working day of Father Tei in his factory. is quite typical of the other two. He begins work at 8 A.M. along with 2,000 fellow employes, has one-half hour off for lunch and ends his day at 5:30 P.M., for a total of nine working hours. He works only six days a week..Although he has been asked to work on Sundays there has been no pressure brought upon him as there has upon some of the Chinese workers, who are often morally pressured to work seven days a week. Father Tei is paid a daily wage of $2.80. His lunch with the 'workers in the factory canteen, which costs about 17 cents, usually consists of rice, a small piece of fish or meat and some vegetables.

The relations of the priests with the workers and the section bosses are cordial. From the beginning they made known to the workers that they are Catholic priests, and this has tended to erase from their minds any suspicion as to why a foreigner is doing such a low paid and menial job. Cordial Relations All of them, of course, are exceptionally fluent in Cantonese, the common language of Hong Kong. One of their peculiar problems is explaining to the workers that they are actually witnesses to Christ as well as to God. For in the Chinese language the Catholic Church is called "the church of God". and the Protestant church is called "the Church of Christ." This problem was created by missionaries to China in the early part of this century in their attempt to establish among the Chinese the difference between the two religions.

Unless the Supreme Court reverses the lower court decision, parents of nonpublic school children in New York state, on their 1972 state income tax forms, can reduce their adjusted gross income by a certain amount depending on income, number of children in school and tuition paid. Under the law, a parent with a gross taxable income of less than $9,000 may deduct $1,000 for each child up to three from his adjusted gross income. He must be paying a tuition of at least $50 per child per year to obtain the benefit. ,

Council of Laity Rebuts Abortion, Asks for Peace WASHINGTON (NC) - Leaders of the National Council of Catholic Laity (NCCL) have issued a statement opposing abortion and calling for an end to the Vietnam War. The statement issued at an NCCL board of directors meeting here, called on elected officials "to give top priority to establishing peace with justice in Viet Nam" and asked "all Americans to make the same appeal to our government until this has been accomplished." The board also said this country should help in reconstructing Vietnam. "With the Indo-China war ended, we can then as a nation turn our attention to building at home and in the family of nations that justice which alone will bring lasting peace," the board said. The statement, entitled "Respect for Life," also repeated an anti-abortion stand taken in an earlier NCCL statement called "Right to Life." New Members The new statement urged people, "as ministers of life, to make available to those considering the termination of the life of their unborn child, counseling, material resources, and other services." Three new members representing .ethnic and minority groups were named to the board of directors at the board meeting here. The three members, who represent youth, Indians, and the Spanish-speaking, are Mrs. Cecilia Corcoran from Box Elder, Mont.; Mrs. Virginia Chavez, a Spanish-speaking American from Albuquerque, N. M.; and Joseph Staub from Cookeville, Tenn., national president of the Catholic Youth Organization, teen division.

Public Board Pays Catholic Counselors WAYNE (NC) - In the first application of a new nonpublic school aid law, the Wayne Township Board of Education has agreed to pay the salaries of three guidance counselors, including a priest and a nun, in Catholic high schools here:' Father Robert Carroll, guidance counselor at Neumann Preparatory High School here, was hired by the board at $11,239 a year, the same salary paid for a comparable position in the public school system. At its December meeting the. school board is expected. to hire two counselors at DePaul Regional High School-Sister Mary Rita Higgins and Clifford Lauterhahn-and Mrs. Margaret Gillis, a' registered nurse. Sister Higgins will receive $16,159; Lauterhahn, $13,391 and Mrs. Gillis, $8,500. The public school system has an enrollment of more than 12,000 pupils in 11 l~lementary schools, two junior high schools, and two senior high schools. The two Catholic high schools-Neumann Prep and DePaul-have a total enrollment of about 1,200.

Navy Assists In Transferring Guests To New Louis"iana Home for Aged NEW ORLEANS (NC) - The brass band of the eighth naval district struck up "La Marseillaise" and the "Star Spangled Banner," and after 104 years at the same location, the Little Sisters of the Poor were moving their St. Joseph's Home. for the Aged. The United States Navy, with its destroyer Putnam and her crew, pitched in to move most of the 135 residents across the Mississippi. In a day of contrasts, the sight of white-haired men and women bobbing on the deck of the war machine and tapping their feet to ragtime seemed appropriate. The move was from ancient brick and splintered wood to gleaming stainless steel and tiles on the West Bank here. Miss Mildred Corbett sat on the deck of the Putnam smiling. "Thirty yea r san d four months," she said looking back on her years at the home. "And now we're moving. I guess I've just got to get used to it. It's the only home I've got ... the only home I know." "I can't see ... can't do anything. This is the first time I've moved ... I'm from the West Bank, so I guess you could say this is kind of a homecoming for me. I'll get used to it. "I'm not hard to please ... besides, it's the only home I've got." Miss Corbett clapped her hands to the music and continued to smile. "Loneliness is probably the biggest thing these people have to overcome," Mother Charles M. de la Trinite who will direct the new home said. "Especially with· those people who have no families or whose families don't come to visit that often. Our staff tries to overcome that by really caring about them." While overcoming loneliness is a future problem at the new home, getting there caused some headaches too. "I lived in San Francisco and

crossed the bridge to Oakland many times," Mother Charles said. "It's a lot bigger than the bridge over the Mississippi, but the bridge here seems to be the biggest barrier in the lives of some of our people. Many of them just didn't want to cross the river ...

"We solved that problem. When we were taking some of their clothes over we'd take two or three of them over just for the ride. Sister Jeanne (Sister Jeanne de St. Thomas, L.S.P.) timed me. She said it took only one and one-half minutes to actually get across the bridge. After that, a lot of the old folks decided, it wasn't that far after all."

TEARS: A resident of St. Joseph's Home for the Aged in New Orleans, La. has mixed emotions on moving day. Leaving the old home on N. Johnson Street was like leaving an old friend for many of the elderly, but their new quarters on the city's West Bank were a happy surprise. NC Photo:

Booklet Tells How To RecyCle Parish WASHINGTON (NC)-A new guide issued by the National Council of Catholic Laity gives helpful hints on how to "recycle" a parish.• Designed for use by parish councils, "Recycling the Parish" contains information on "conducting effective meetings, attracting members, planning parish events, parish involvement in the community and evaluation of programs," according to the NCCL.

. ROME (NC) - Delegates representing 20 bishops' conferences in Europe concluded a two-day meeting here in which they exchanged ideas and experiences encountered in modern pastoral work. Archbishop Roger Etchegaray of Marseille, France, president of the Council of European Bishops' Conferences, said the scope of the council and its recent meeting - the group's third - was "pastoral, solely pastoral." He said that although the various countries of Europe differ from one another, "common problems exist which can be faced" together "by pooling our experiences and studies," Archbishop Mario Castellano of Siena, delegate from the italian Bishops' Conference, said .that the main event of the meeting was the reading of a report on "currents of theological thought now existing in the Catholic Church and especially in Europe,"

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-Position papers on housing, the aged, criminal rehabilitation and welfare reform occupied California's bishops at a day-long meeting of the California Catholic Conference (CCC) here. The presentations were made by Catholic Charities officials of the state. Although no definitive actions were taken on any of the proposals, the bishops indicated that further study of the programs suggested may lead to a deeper involvement of the Church in areas of social concern, either through expanding existing diocesan agencies or through special programs sponsored by the CCC. The report on housing stressed the increasing need of decent housing for the aged and f~r 'low and moderate income families. It recommended strongly that the Church serve as a catalyst for promoting government programs by providing seed money for obtaining government loans. The Catholic Charities paper on the aged suggested that, besides the continuation and expansion of local programs, the CCC should establish a statewide clearing house and coordination center to focus on: the needs of the state's 1.8 million senior citizens. Each diocese should establish a separate Department on Aging, according to the report. A "criminal justice and corrections" report called for more humane treatment of criminals, emphasizing rehabilitation over a vindictive approach. The report on welfare reform recommended sweeping changes in the whole welfare system, including a guaranteed annual income for those unable to work and a single, federally administered welfare program for aU adults, were recommended in a report on welfare reform.

Following the Prayer Call, each parish can adopt its own means to attain the desired renewal, the "bishop said. Participants may also choose to act together in certain ventures, he added. Closeness to God "Key 73 does not eJ:lvisage the creation of a new structure, a new program of diocesan meetings ... nor is ,it designed to launch a new ecumenical movement," the bishop noted. "It is designed to cal: men to a closeness to God, to a practice of prayer and meditation, repentance, and reflection on the Word of' God towards the creation of the formation of the spiritual life that w,j)J give the Christian the strength and confidence to bring Christ to the market place. r'lt is not a negation of Christian activism; but it is a recognition that before man can be committed to the wOl'lk of God he must be committed to God personally."

The third couple expressed themselves more poetically. At I first they ;said, "Marriage is rna-king 10V;e, little creatures, music, popcorn and peace-best we can!"

make waves, we make laughter, we make lovely, we make love." .Contad with God The fourth couple attempted a definition that would put it all together. "Marriage is a pact between two members of the op· posite sex in which love, trust, understariding, problems,sorrow and every feature of life can oc- . · cur and have a solid foundation , on which to rest." The profound· ,ness of their definition seemed ·to tie together what the others had shared. You may agree or disagree with the observations of my . friends' You may compare their experience with your. own. For the Christian, perhaps particu· larly for the religious educator, the experience of marriage-:-whether one's own, that of one's parents, friends, neghbors-is a rich area for deepening one's un·· derstanding of life lived' in a reIa·· tionship with God. Perhaps no other experience is -more signifi·· cant for gradually understanding the deepest reality of God and his personal involvement itt human life.

Hosea describes God as alluring his es- . tranged wife (Le.. his people) back to him, speaking to her heart, and inviting tier ba<:k. She responds to his call' with some of the joy of their first honeymoon. "On that day, says the Lord, she shall call me 'my husband.' " God then offers himself to her in a lasting co~enant bond: "I will espouse you to me forever" (Hosea 2:16-21). Hosea's insight was picked up by other biblical writers., Cov-' enant beCame one of ~he major themes of the entire :Sible. The . first pages of the Bible point out that man is created in ~he Image of God-as male and famal.e, united in love and marr~age (Gen 1:27). The Bible closes (Rev 21:9) wLth the culmination Of elirthly iife described as the wedding' party of the Lamb (Cqrist) and hi:, bride (his people).

Nor is it insignificant. thaI' the Sacrament of Matrimorjy is ncrmally celebrated during the Eucharist, the new coven~nt. Ma.ritall love finds its deep~st sour,:e in the love God pledges to share with husband and wife, who in turn can find in their' matriage the most fruitful of recog\1izing and :responding to God'~ love. Marriage is a sacrament, a sign and sour~e, not oIlly Of human love, but of God's love as 'well.

Books which deal with the spiritual life often speak about the various kinds of friendship. They speak of the friendship which lasts only as long as convenient or useful. Then there is the friendship of pleasure, wherein another person is esteemed for selfish reasons. The'" friendship ends when it is no longer profitable or pleasurable. The highest and most .lasting kind of friendship is that where-in another person is revered simply as another person. This is what the existentialists Tefer to when they talk about "affirming the other," it is what Buber refers to when he speaks about seeing others as a "thou" and it is what, in common parlance, we mean by treating people as per. sons instead of as things,

When people, through the marr.iage relationship, achieve this loving acceptance of one another, a beautiful sign shines forth for all to see. This -is what we celebrate at wedding anniversaries, in love stories, and in many other ways throughout life. This is the kind of love to which' Jesus referred when he' said the marriage bond was forever. . The Old Testament used mar-' ried love to portray God's love for us, his people. dod is portrayed as a jealous God, who will tolerate no other lover wooing the loved ones. He is portrayed as a brooding God, a God who marries a prostitute (Israel) and continues to seek after his bride even after she returns to her infidelity and abandons her husband. Faithfulness is a key tl).eme for God's people in' the Old Testament. Pauline Teachings Saint Paul saw clearly these revelations and continued' to teach through the love which is marriage. He sees Christ as the bridegroom and the Church as the bride; he sees the relationship between Church (us) and Jesus as one of deepest intimacy. And he sees the sacrament of marriage as a sign for the whole community. Saint Augustine stresses this same point of view, noting that God is _a· deeply personal God who loves each one of us and all of us deeply and forever.

Garry Wills' New Book 'Incisive, Controversial' "The question is not, any more, whether our oldest institutions can crumble; but whether a purified faith can be reborn out of their ruins." This sentence concludes the introductory chapter of Garry Wills' incisive, controversial, and often brilliant new book Bare Ruin~d Choirs (Double- era of mankind's maturity, the with politics the scene, day, 277 Park Ave., New sacred, and political action the means, York, N.Y. 10017. $7.95), of salvation. which is subtitled "Doubt, Prophecy and Radical Religion." Mr. Wills' primary subject here is the present conditions

and the prospects of Catholic Christianity. In order the better to judge these, he considers the immediate -'or pre-Vatican 11Catholic past as experienced by a Catholic now in early middle age. He himself grew up in what he calls the Catholic ghetto. This he describes in wonderfully precise detail, and analyzes in depth. It fitted tightly together, and through it ran a rigid line of authority. Much about it was comforting, and it can be looked back on with nostalgic affection. But much else was .disordered, arbitrary, or confused, as Mr. Wills demonstrates in a bill of particulars impossible to rebut. The underlying assumption was that it was changeless, securely shut in on itself, immune to a world itself irrelevant. 'Beginning to Count' As some Catholics bega" to look out, and to go out, from the ghetto, they advocated distinctions and improvements, for example in the liturgy, to clarify and effect which associations and movements were formed. They also sought to make some application of Catholic principle to worldly affairs, for example Catholic social doctrine. It was believed that Catholics were beginning to count in the world. Then came the impact of Vatican II. "The main point about the Council," says Mr. Wills, "can be put quite simply: it let out the dirty little secret. It forced upon Catholics, in the most startling symbolic way, the fact that the Church changes ... No more neat ahistorical belief that what one did on Sunday morning looked (with minor adjustments) like what the Church had always been doing from the time of the catacombs." There followed whirlwind change within the Church. Again, the liturgy comes to mind. Its reform was far from orc!erly either in procedure or in pace. Some Fare Badly A cult of the secular developed. The secular was seen as autonomous and omni-competent in its own sphere. From that view it was only a step to the conviction that the secular was somehow superior to the sacred or that the secular was, in this

Numerous features and follies of the past decade are critically examined by Mr. WiIls, and their chief exponents are roughly used by him. One of his targets is the erstwhile Sister Jacqueline Grennan, whose quick veering from fad to fad he pitilessly rehearses in a series of devastating quotations. Others fare badly at Mr. Wills' hands, among them Harvey Cox, Andrew Greeley, Sister Corita, Teilhard de Chardin, Malcolm Muggeridge, Jacques Maritaina formidable array who are shown to be highly vulnerable when they come under Mr. Wills' piercing scrutiny. Neither Pope John nor Pope Paul emerges unscathed from his pages. No more do John Kennedy and John Courtney Murray. Best Things Hidden This brief sampling of scores of names suggests that Mr. Wills' viewpoin't cannot be classified as. conventionally conservative or conventionally liberal. The suggestion is correct. He simply cannot be pigeonholed. He belongs to no camp. What he has to say of the outcome of the move of the Jesuits' Woodstock College to New York City may be taken as indicative of an aversion to radicCillism. Certainly he is severe in his strictures on much which he has observed of that experiment. Mr. Wills says, "The best things in the Church, as in a nation, or in individuals, are hidden and partially disowned, the vital impulse buried under all our cowardly misuses of it - as the life of a nation lies under and is oppressed by its crude governing machinery." It is to get down to this treasure and utilize it that he summons us, in hope of rebirth.

She proves this anew in Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage (Knopf, 501 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10022. $10), which, while mainly an account of her own variegated career from 1937 to the present, is also a shrewd, amusing, sometimes rueful, anecdote-packed review of theatrical developments in that span. During it, Miss Webster had notable success in staging plays by Shakespeare (she revolutionized the art). She discusses these productions and their problems in gratifying detail. She also directed modern plays. She took on several directing assignments at the Metropolitan Opera. She was in the midst of efforts to establish repertory companies. in America.'

Warning Issued On 'Foundation' VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican has warned that a money-raising organization known as "Foundation of the Holy Land, Inc., Jerusalem" has never received any kind of approval from the Vatican or from competent Church officials at the local level. A notice in Vatican daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, cautioned the foundation "not to abuse the name of ecclesiastical persons or organisms." And it warned churchmen against giving the foundation "any form of support whatsoever." According to the Vatican daily, the foundation apparently collects funds "in various countries and especially in the United States of America." The notice in L'Osservatore Romano of Nov. 15 was cap· tioned "warning" and read as follows: o "We are able to state that an ~~~ undertaking known as 'Founda· JESUS AT .CANA: "Since the jars held 'two or three tion of the Holy Land, Inc., Jeru· operating-so it seemsmeasures apiece' (at Cana) . . . that means that Jesus salem,' in various countries and especial· provided somewhere between 100 and 150 gallons of wine." ly in the United States of Amer· NC Photo. ica with the declared purpose 'of collecting funds for the Holy Land,' has not received any approval either explicit or implicit happy occasions: birthdays, cor- from the Holy See or from comContinued from Page Sixteen petent local ecclesiastical au· John the Baptist compares Jesus 'onations, religious holidays, also thorities. to a bridegroom who is so happy celebrated with large parties.

SPOKANE (NC) - Catholic Charities of the Spokane diocese has given $5,000 to the financially troubled Spokane Housing Authority. ' Although the semi-public housing agency was established 10 months ago, a lack of money has resulted in an "inability to take action on behalf of the low.. incom~ people of Spokane," ac.. cording to a Charities official. Father Frank J. Bach, execu·· tive director of Catholic Charities, said that his agency had done as much as it could in housing through the development of four senior citizen housing projects. "Private agencies such as ours," he said, "simply are not eligible to develop certain types of projects needed in Spokaneprojects that could be provided without any danger of creating a ghetto or urban renewal problems," "PracticaIly nothing has been done in the area of family housing," he said. New rental units for the elderly under private sponsorship are not available for families, 'and many new apartments designed for families are too expensive for the poor, he said.
