Pontiff Sees Mass Media Pitfalls

VATICAN CITY (NC)­ Pope Paul, as'serting that the Church "expects something quite different" of the Cath­ olic press than of the seeular press, asked whether the Cath­ olic press serves the Church by making itself "the obliging echo" of protest in the Chureh.

The "immense mass of the good faithful" can be thrown off balance, the Holy Father said, b~' challenges to tradition on the nature and exercise of au­ thority in the Church, on the meaning of the priesthood, on priestly celibacy and on the in­ dissolubility of marriage.

Pope Paul, speaking to Cath­ olic journalists, lavished praise on the secular press, with some reservations: . "Everybody knows and sees

rOlf/owing 'Good Faith'ul' Off Balance every day how much the Church owes in this domain to the press of great circulation. The press called 'neutral' often gives to religious matters an attention and an interest tha1' are limited and are often conditioned by psychological or commercial de~ mands with which we will not concern ourselves here. If we were to say a word it would be rather to express satisfaction at seeing that, especially since the (Second Vatican) Council, the religious element really consti­ tutes-even for the press called 'neuh'al' or' mass circulation-a more lively and more appreci­ ated center of interest than in the past.

"But the Church expects

its p~eoccupations and problems, of course, but also of its faith and positive undertakings.

"This means that from' the mass of information it is up to you to make a choice inspired by a desire to give the most ac­ curate image possible of the Church's life. That implies a great demand of truthfulness, and it supposes the ability to resist if need be, the temptation to go along with the wind of opinion even if it is the most powerful one."

something quite different yet of her sons who have chosen to put their talents at the service of the Catholic press. Of them she expects a veritable positive collaboration of this vital circu­ lation ,~ ':' ':' between the head and the members of the visible' or­ ganism of the Church.

"Such a vital circulation is not one-way but implies bringing to light the directives coming from the hierarchy as well as of news of the life of the People of God spread throughout the world, of

Pope Paul pointed to the dis­ agreement in the Church, "even on the very weighty points of doctrine and discipline."

He continued: "Rightly, you regard it as your professional duty to report them.

But is it a set'vice to the Church to give prominence above all to the most debatable tendencies and enterprises, those least con­ forming to healthy traditions ,and a real fidelity to the texts of the recent council and the very truth of the Gospel'1 Is it serving the Church to make oneself in­ sistently the obliging echo of 'protest' at the risk of tl'Oubling and confusing the immense mass of the good fai thful'!"

Patria rcch Asks Diocese Status For Melkites

THE ANCHORThurs., Nov. 28, 1968

Prie$jl~

New

WASHINGTON (Nt) Melkite-rite Patriarch Max­ imos V Hakim of Antioch has asked Pope Paul VI to agree to the establishment of an eparchy or diocese for the Mel­ kite-rite Gatholics in the United States.

The patriarch disclosed here that he discussed the matter with the Pope during a private meeting on Oct. 14. .

Melkite-rite Catholics in the

United States have belonged to

Qn apostolic exarchy governed by an exarch acting as representa­ tive of the Pope. The late Bishop Justin Najmy, who died in June, had been appointed apostolic ex­ arch to head the Melkite-rite in the United States in 1966.

No successor to Bishop Najmy has yet been named and Patri­ arch Maximos expressed, hope tha,t before an appointment the exarchy will be raised to the status of an eparchy or diocese so that a bishop "who will, be a full member of the Melkite hierarchy" may be named. .'

I, '

True JEparchy

Patriarch Maximos commented on the status of the Melkite-rite in the UnIted States 'before'leav­ ing here to return to Lebanon.

He was' here to ordain :Arch­ bishop Joseph Raya as Ordinary of A'cre, Israel. Patriarch Maxi­ mos had headed the Acre See bef~re succeeding the late Max­ imos IV Saigh as Patriarch of Antioch. ' Patriarch Maximos said: "It

had long been the intention of

my predecessor, Maximos ,IV

to establish a true eparchy or

diocese for American Melkites."

He stressed that Vatican

Council II had also "reeognized clearly the different rites of the € h urch, including the Eastern rites, are not limited to partic­ U1~t ierritories. ' j. :",,},,' On the' contrary, the whole tradition of the Melkite Church is to be' open to growth, and' it ! 'is no '\Tiore liniHed to the Middle East than the Latin yhurch is limite~ to Italy or E\fope."

Commends Encyclical, Support Position BUFFALO (NC) _ Bishop

James A. McNulty of Buffalo has received a letter from Am­ leto Cardinal Cicognani, papal secretary of state, thanking him in the name of Pope Paul VI for his support of the encyclical on birth control, Humanae Vitae.

Expressing gratitude for Bish­ op McNulty's "message of loyal­ ty and support, the letter said: "Such ready acceptance of the teaching of Christ's Vicar on earth is a sign of the lively faith which animates the heart of a true Christian, and cannot fail

to console him upon whom lies heavy the burden of guiding the

whole Church and confirming biB brothers in faith."

Jersey Fair Busin'g Suit Is Dismissed HACKENSACK (NC)-8upe­

rior Court Judge Eugene L. Lora bas dismissed a suit brought against New Jersey's year-old fair busing law.

"It has not been demonstrated '0 this court," he said in grant­ ing the dismissal motion "that the intrOduction of special bus routes and a maximum assist­ ance of $150 (per pupil) can or does alter the primary purpose of the traansportatlon legislation or embodies any religious test " upon the granting of b/anspor­ .. ~on benefits.

BOSTON (NC) - .. The New England Conference of Priests' Senates, representing 11 Sees in this area of the country, favors a proposal for simplifying pr<>­ cedul"e of resigning from the ministty.

The conference, by a 28-to-15 vote, rejected another proposal for viewing celibacy and the priesthood as two separate vo­ cations rather than one.

T'he proposal approved l'fOa vides: ' That the process of leaving the ministry (laicization) be simpli­ fied and so designed that priests may leave in dignity.

That the term "laicization" be replaced by a more appropriate phrase - resignation from the ministry.

That the process of re6ignation from the ministry take place en­ tirely on the local level.

That the diocese through its own resources or some specific organization help a priest re­ signing from the ministry to re­ adjust and prepare for his future life.

That the secrecy of the process be removed with priests being informed of the possibility and the method of the process; also the meaning of resignation be made known or explained to the public and that future resig­ nations be announced publicly.

Sympathetic in Principle to State Aid· IUinois Lawmakers' Views on School Costs OHICAGO (NC) - Four key Illinoi$ state legislators are sym­ pathetic in p,rinciple, to aid for non':pu1:ilic schools, mOst of which are Catholic. , Sen~torsRussell W. Arrington, majority leader apd Thomas A. McGloon and' Reps;., J'8ck E. Walker, House majority leader and John P. Touhy, House minor~ lty leader, 'expressed their views in intel,"views.'

'Understands' Plight A:rrington said he has' "no philoso~hic rel?ugnance to tne idea" of' aiding, private' schools' nor does he see where such aid would constitute a breakdown on separations between Church and sta,te.

McGloon declared he would support a bill requesting aid for non-public schools if it is "con­

stitutional." He said he "under­ stands" the plight of private schools and would look "with favor" on a bill asking for state aid. The question of whether such aid would violate Church­ StaJte safeguards isa serious one he would want answered, he stressed.

Secular Subjects, Books McGloon warned that propo­ nents of state' aid for private schools "had better come well prepared to state their case" be­ cause such a bill will face stifi opposition.

P'riests ~Iedge Pope Prayers, S·upport 'CLEVELAND (NC) -Priests from ordination classes 34 years apart in the Cleveland diocese assured Pope Paul VI of prayers to sustain him in carrying a bur­ den of "corrosive criticism, un­ charItableness and even disobe­

dience."

Priests from the ordination classes of 1934 and 1968, in a message to the' Pope, said they

join with him in "accepting this

cross" in the faith that "God will somehow .. 0) '" draw good out of these evils which infect not only the Church, but the

whole of human society."

The priests voiced confidence in the guidance of the Holy Spir­ it to preserve the Church from error, and pledged their "un­

swerving loyality, fideli,ty, love

and support" to the Pope.

DETROIT (NC)-Archbishop John F. Dearden of De­ troit has stressed that the American bishops at their Nov. 11-15 meeting in Washington "were very conscious of the £mportance of what they were' doing in the life of the total Church in the United States!'

Reaffirming the theme of the en- ' In a pastoral letter to the cyclical Humanae Vitae, it un­ people of the archdiocese, derscores the positive values that Archbishop Dearden, who as are set forth in that'document. president of the National Con­ of Catholic Bishops pre­ sided at the Washington sessions, asserted: "Aware of their role, they were no less mindful of the implications of their work for the whole Christian people of this land."

Archbishop Dearden dealt a mild rebuke to the mass media over the handling of the bishop's statement.

"Much interest and attention was drawn to the bishops' collec­ tive past()ral, Human Life in Our Day," the archbishop stated. "'The initial repor,ts, leaning heavily upon isolated sentences lllnd upon cryptic comments, in­ evit·ably ran the risk of distor­ tion and want of balance." , Archbishop Dearden said many ihings 'were accomplished at the Wushington sessions, some of which will be carried into action without delay, while "others will unfold with the passing of time."

Regarding the bishops' pas­ 'toral, Archbishop Dearden said: "The document in its entirety calls for, careful and prayerful study. Us flJcUS is upon the <.::hristian values that attach to buman life in all its dimensions. ~rence

Vital Issues "It reasserts clearly the teach­ ing of the Holy ~~ther. At the same time. it shows a compas­ sionate understanding of the problems and anxieties of our people. J.t endeavors to set the moral teaching of the Church in the broad context of all our hu­ man responsibilties.

"Beyond this, the document enters into a study of the im­ plications of the pursuit of peace in our time. Since the issues are so vital, it is fitting that the moral principles involved in this quest find expression.

"The collective pastoral' is ad­ 'dressed to you. If it is to bear fruit, you must read it and take its lessons to heart. It was writ­ ten with you in mind and with some understanding of the con­ cerns that are closest to your );leart.

"It has been prepared in the spirit of our faith with all the hope and strength that it brings to, us. For .this reason, I hope that you will give it the closest possible study. I encourage you to read the' entire text of the pastoral letter."

Expen.dable People

One of the fruSItrating aspects of modern American Jiving is the rapidity with which ...machines and appliances, bright and capable when new, ,a'ge and deteriorate and are quickly followed by newer' and supposedly more efficient models which in turn age at the same swift rate. Even clothes have a short life span and are being constantly replaced with other more fashionable lines. .

'

The answer is, of course, built-in obsolescence, the principle that everything should be made expendable. In that way the turn-over is great and the production lines never fail to hum.

A British authority on marriage and the flamily has indicated that pershaps. this principle has been introduced

into marriages. The former president of the British National Council of Family Relations feels that Americans with fantastic material prosperity have fostered the assump­ tion that things were expendable "and I have the uneasy feeling that something of this attitude of mind might have tinged the American outlook on personal rel'ations.

If they go wrong you can always find a more up-to-date' model in a new wife or husband. I wonder whether, all unconsciously, people as well as thing, are coming to· be regarded as expendable."

Materialism does bring an impersonal attitude toward others since concern for people is swallowed up in a selfish preoccupation wi,th oneself and. one's wants and one's pos­ sessions and on'e's comfort.

And all this fosters an attitude of mind that people,

too, are made for oneself and if and when they fail to measure up then it is time for them to be disc'arded and replaced. '

Patient Laity The superior general of the Maryknoll Fathers has just ,returned from a long journey visiting miS8ionaries in Africa,' Chile, Colombia,. Venezuela and the Philippines.

He returns with the observation tha,t the laity are exhibi'j;­ ing a tremendous ~ti~nce in the face of the turmoil in the ChuTe'h.

not

, He says, "Lay persons are eil'amored of the p&­ ,euliar views of any particular priest. The laity. have '& deep faith in what a, priest represents as a priest, despite his own. views on any particular issue."

He continues that people recognize chanlie and, ac­ cept it--changes in the liturgy that make sense, stream­ lining of disciplinary laws. "But what, all of us s'hy away from are attacks on essentials, attacks on the existence of God, on love, res-pect and obedience to the Pope."

The laity have an idea and ideal of what a priest should be. While they expect him to be involved in every aspect of their lives, they want him there as a man of God, as' a man of meaning, as one who embodies in his life total and complete dedication to God and men, as One who is in their midst and of them but pointing out to them the spiritual dimension' of life and its every facet and problem, and doing this not only in woTds but in life and work.

The laity can assess a priest rather keenly for what he is, and cannot help but see to what degree he measures up to the vocation that they are aware of and that they expect him to fulfill in his life. '

Vocations Office' DAYTON (NC) - Estab­ lishment of a national voca­ tions office was a major rec­ ommendation of participaN.ts in a conference on the utiliza­ tion of vocations-related" re­ search at Bergamo center here in Ohio.

The conference was sponsored

by Center for Applied Research in the Apostola,te (CARA) and Serra International. CARA is a relatively new professional re­ search organization supplying decision-makers in the Church, with the kind of information they need. Serra is a federation of clubs fostering vocations and assisting in education of men for the priesthood.

Some 60 Church leaders and research experts took part in the three-day conference at which the proposal for a national vocations office was unanimously supported.

Principal function of the na­ tional office or agency would be public relations. The agency would address itself to the total problelll of vocations and not just to recruitment for particu­ lar dioceses or religious com­ munities, it was stated :at the conclusion of the meeting.

Views of Laity" Also prop6sed was formation of a national committee con­ cerned lwith, all' aspects of the problem of Church personnel.

The group's: program would -em­ brace ,the study ,of ways .to match the individual in the priesthood or the religious ;Ufe with his apostolic assignment.

The confere.o.ce participants agreed ,that it is important to engage ,in immediate. research "to find out the image of the Church, and specifically the iinage of the priesthood and reli­ gious' life in' the minds of the laity." ~;'"We are sorely lacking the ~ew~ of the'laity, especially the' young laity," a post-conference statement saidl " I jItlis also imperative to, ~de" termine the religious needs of the black community." Confer­ ence spokesmen .stated that not just Catholic Negroes, but the entire Negro community, should be, approached for views con­ ~rning procedures and policies.

'Xhe press was not admitted to the conference sessions, but an ,informal panel gave the Catholic press a summary of the meeting at its conclusion.

Texas Archbishop

Lauds Bomb Hamt

SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Arch­ bishop Robert E. Lucey has ex­ pressed hope that President Johnson's halt of the bombing in North Vietnam may lead to a genuine peace.

Archbishop Lucey, !l strong supporter of the Johnson admin­ istration's Vietnam policy as morally justified, praised the President for his "hopeful but - realistic" approach in the bomb­ ing suspension.

The San Antonio Archbishop was among a group of U. S. ob­ servers who witnessed the 1967 South Vietnamese elections and Is also co-chairman of the Citi­ zens for Peace With Freedom in Vietnam.

The Archbishop said the Pres­ Ident has demonstrated the "good faith" of the United States 10 attempting to peacefully re­ solve the war eHort in South­ east Asia. He averred it is up to the North Vietnamese gov­ ernment to display a similar military restraint if the Paris peace negotiations are to prove fruitful.

In the wake of settlement of the "puQlic ~cho~l t~ache,rs striliE!'1 in 'the city, 'Archbisliop Cooke and Bishop Mugavero in a jolrit 'iimtement 'called th,eir Peo~l~ to1pray to God "for en­ lightenlneilt 'to assist men of 'all faithS~ beliefs arld races -to live tol~ether brothers ancl true sons'qt our 'common Fatner." ,During' .the strike~ the tWo prelates, opened the parochial schools" in tbeill' Sees to public $Chool students unable to attend classes: In their joint st,atement, the prelates said: Precious Possession "The people of the City of New York are grateful that once again all of our children are back in their classrooms receiv­ ing the instruction which will open for them the door of hope for a bright future.

"It is not surprising that the recent controversy was attended by strong feelings because it concerned our most precious possession: our children.

-After the long period of bit-= temess, suspicion and frustra­ tion through which we have passed, and £c>rthe sake of the children and for the sake of our city Wll must aU lrtrive to heal old wounds and resolve not to re­ open them in the future.

-We must leam to live togeth­ er and to help one another illl this great city. We depend UpOI1l each other for the contiriued existence of one of the world's great centers of civilization and for our very survival as a civic community.

"We fervently pray and de­ voutly hope that God will give us the wisdom to know the right and the will to, rel?olve our dif­ ferences." ,

BOSTON (NC)...Jrhere was a standing-room-only Jewish au­ dience in suburban Medford and, no doubt at all, the speaker was the magnetic drawing power.

A longtime favorite with Prot­ estant, Jewish and, of course, Catholic audiences, the speaker had gained the sobriquet "the best rabbi in Boston" from a Jewish taxi driver a few years back. The speaker was Boston's Richard Cardinal Cushng.

In the lobby of the Medford Jewish Community Center, a Jewish • father escorting his young son was heard to say: "Come inside. I want to show you a great man."

The applause and cheers thundered when Cardinal Cush­ ing took over the speaker's plat­ form. In his pockE~t was a pre­ pared address. It stayed there.

The cardinal chose to speak "oH the cuff'~ in his inimita1ble style.

He spoke about bigotry, atheism, the Kennedy family, the death of his old friend Augustin Car;­ dinal Bea, S.J., and sundry, other topics.

He began by :relating: "I'm somewhat handicaped today be­ cause I have no teeth.' I can't eat and I can't' talk. As for the latter it may' be a good thing bec~us~,ever.y ~me I ,talk I get into trouble."

Golli Ever Active Cardinal Cushing touched on the rise of atheism. He said: "We are living, my dearly beloved, in an age that is dominated by atheism. Atheism in this 20th ce'~tury is very progressive. You_ have heard it said 'God is dead'.

But I, see God in the world' in which I live. He is ever active.

He is ever caIni."

Switching thoughts, the cardi­ nal then made a plea for .love in the world.

"Behind the scenes there is much bigotry, much hatred.

Everything depends upon love Let us practice our love for one another," he said.

Hate, bigotry and greed can lead to war, the cardinal warned.

"A world war now would result in total destruction of our civil­ ization if not of the human race," he counseled.

He eulogized Cardinal Bea, compared him fo the late Presi­ dent John F. Kennedy. ''They both tried to sow the seeds of love for one another," he said.

Lauds Mrs. Kennedy Cardinal' Cushing talked at considerabgle length about the Kennedy family, the tragedies in their lives.

"Think of all the trials this family has gone through. Think of all the crosses they have car­ ried and you never hear a word of complaint on the lips of any of them," he said. "l\Ilrs. Rose KennedY, the queen of the household," he add­ ed, "is a very, very extraordi­ nary woman-;-never any regrets or fears, never asking, 'Why did all this happen?'

"The youth of the world hopes for another Jack K;ennedy.

"He is tremendously needed for the unification of tl;1e coun­ try which seemingly is divided against itself," the cardinal esti­ mated.

When' he concluded his talk, he was given a lengthy, standing ovation ~ his prepared address stiU'in his pOCket. .

On Encyc Iicol

Russian 'Memo' ~nyisions Progress, ,Coexistence

OTTAWA {NC)-The ~ dian bishops are implementing their promise to develop further pastoral guidance on Pope Paul's encyclical on birth control.

The administration board Cl\t the Canadian Catholic Confer­ ence has authorized the CCO Family Life Office to develop a plan of action for dialogue and consultation with priests, laymen, scientists and family life organizations.

The Family Life Office is also to propose members for a spe­ cial' committee, including mem­ , bers 'of the bishops' theologicll11 , " commission, to conduct the consolidanon.

In, the bishops' "preliminaru guidelines" issued at Winnipeg in September, they stated that , '! fucther and more defiIliUve " guidance would be developed . through dialogue with Canadi­ ans in many walks of life.

The bishops also expect the consultation will result in an effective program of family life and sex ,educatiori. They win give full support to it on a na­ .. tional and interfaith basis.

The committee will begbli work :as soon as possible with . ", the aim of producing a report for

By Barbara Ward Nothing that President-elect Richard M. N~xon has. said or not said during the campaign can change the bare, terrifying facts which, over the corning years, will eonfront him together with the rest of the human race.

The first i'8 the continuing risk of atomic annihilatdon­ culture and mass technology.

"Modern technology and mass "a complete destruction 'of psychology constantly suggest cities, industry, transport, new possibilities of managing

and systems of education, a pon·

soning 'of fields,' water, air

by radioactivity,

a physical de.

struction of the

larger part of

. mankind, pov­

erty, barbarism,

a return to agery. and 'a

genetic degen­

eracy Of the sur­ vivors under '

. the . iDipact of radiation."

The second is the perhaps less sensational but in many ways , more 'implac~ble risk of growing famine in the world's poorer lands. There· the growth of pop­ ulation already outstrips food production and the gap is grow­ ing. '''What is involved is the predicted deterioration of _the average food balance in which loealized food crises merge into· a sea of,;hunger, intolerable suf­ fering and desperation, the grief and, fury of millions of people.

This is a tragic threat to all mankind. A catastrophe of such dimension cannot but have pro­ found consequences for the en­ tire world and' for every human being. It will provoke a wave of wars and hatred, a decline of standards of living, throughout the world."

Po)Jution Increase The third is slower, less ob­ vious, yet ultimately perhaps as lethal-the constant, careless in­ crease in pollution, in the de­ struction of man's physical en­ vironment. "We live in a swiftly changing world. lndustriaJ. and. water engineering projects, cut­ ting of forests, plowing' up of virgin lands, the use of pOison­ ous chemicals--all this is chang­ ing" the face of the earth, our habitat. Scientific study of all the interrelationships in nature and the consequences of our in­ terference clearly lag behind the changes. Large amounts of harmful wastes of industry and transport are being dumped into the air and water, including cancer-inducing substances. Win the safe limit be passed every­ where, as has already happened in a number of places?"

The .fourth concerns not our physical but our psychic envi­ ronment-the possible loss of intellectual freedom, moral in­ tegrity and artistic spontaneity either under thE! sharp Pressure of 'vicious racist dictatorship or the distorting impact of mass

the norms of behavior, the striv­ ings and convictions of masses' of people. 'lI'hismvolves not only management through' informa­ tion based on the theory of ad- ' vertising and mass pSychology, but also more 'technical methods' that are widely d,iscussed in the . press abroad. Examples are bio­ chemical control of, psychic processes and electronic con­ trol of sUch processes." it is perhaps easy' to dismiss these 'risks as too obvious to re­ quire much underlining.

Presents Remarkable POii'trait of Pope John

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

Giacomo Manzu, on~ of the greatest of present day sculptors, was born and raised in harsh poverty in the northern Italian town of Bergamo. His schooling ended with the third grade. At the age of nine, he was apprenticed to a carpenter. His artistic g e n ius manifested j,tself ligion Il() 1000ger is the center of early, and he rose to fame a roan's life, just as the Church no longer tbe borne and refuge and pros>perity. In 1960, is of his spiritual and psychic self

when he was 49 years old. be was summoned t() Rome to do a portrait bU8l of PoP:'" .Tobn XXIIf, whose career as a priest had ~n 9I)ent in . Bergamo.

Man:l.Ii was reluctant to accept t1-.le commission.

'He was no longer interested in portrait work.

He had passed from faith to unbeUel. He was said to; be a sympathizer with the Italian ComII}unist party.

Under Pius XII, he had been in dtfficuIties with the Holy Office:' because of what some officials considered hi. scandalous treatment of sacred subjects.

He was induced to undertake the new task by Monsignor Giu_ seppe de Lucs, a remarkable priest whose interests were IJ\MI_ ifold, as were his friendships.

-Records CODvenaUoaa Those sessions -lire recounted in Curtis Bill Pepper's An Artist and the Pope (Giniger-Madison Square Press_Grosset & Dunlap, 51 Madi8Gn Ave.. New York, N. Y. 10010. $9.95), a handsome l:KKok with 36 pages of photogi:aphic plates, several in color.

It is based on Manzu's recollec_ tions. as well as on research by Mr. Pepper.

Nuwhere does the author state that Manzukept a diary, much less that there were tape record_ ings of h.is meetings with the pope. But direct quotati-on abounds in the book, lengthy and d....,.tailed.

It may be that Manzu hall ex· traordinary powers of memory, bui one doubts that they are SQ miraculous as to enable him to reproduce, years later a verbatim record of ex·tended N>nversa_ tio::.TIS.

Pope's Benevolence _These remarks are made not in a captious way, but because very infrequently can one read what purports to be the informal talk of the Roman Pontiff.

And when that talk touches on theology, as it sometimes doos In thil; instance, one would want to be sure that what is presented .b prech;ely what was said.

That caution apart, the book W ' capti vating and delightful, quite in a class by itself. For one thing,it is an. authoritative account of bow an artist works., wbat his intentions and aims are, what are biB criteria of success.

For another thing, it shows \IS the impact of Pope Johrl's bene.·plence and sensitivity lMI. • man like Man%U. Artist and ClIBrda

Support Program For State Aid To Schools

tHE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Nov. :28, 1968

SPRINGFIELD (NO) ­ In a letter to the more than 4,000 priests of Illinois the Catholic bishops of the state announced their concern over the rising cost of Catholic edu­ cation and their desire to sup­ port legislation for state aid to meet certain of these expenses.

A half-million pupils are now educated in the nonpublic school system of Illinois.

The bishops announced a pro­ gram which, they said, is aimed at strengthening of the over-all educational effort of the state.

"The State of Illinois" hard pressed to finance its public schools needs the state's Catholic school system which now enroll about 20 per cent of all elemen­ tary and secondary school age children in the state," the bish­ ops noted.

At the same time, the bishops indicated they are faced with a decreased number of priests and Religious to staff schools as well as with the escalating cost of living and educational' develop­ ments.

Since tuition and' free win contributions do not meet these expenses, the bishops stated they will give full support to the program which was recommend­ ed to them by the diocesan school superintendents and va­ rious lay groups.

Four Objectives The program has four objec­ tives: 1.' better transportation' arrangements for nonpublic . school pupils; 2. loan of secular text books to nonpubli~ school pupils; 3. certain auxiliary ser-' vices for nonpublic school chil­ dren in districts where these are provided for public school pu­ pils; 4. provision for a state agency to purchase the secular components of 'nonpublic ele­ mentary and secondary school programs, such as mathematics, physical education.

The lefler, written in the name of the Illinois Catholic Conference, was signed by John Cardinal Cody of Chicago and metropolitan of the statewide Chicago province; and Bishops Albert R. Zuroweste of Belle­ ville; William O'Connor 00' Springfield; John B. Franz of Peoria; Romeo Blanchette of Joliet, and Arthur. J. O'Neill of Rockford.

The Illinois Catholic Confer­ ence is a joint committee com­ posed of the bishops and the of­ ficials of the various agencies which represent the six Sees of IllinOis.

German,A;d OpeDls Medical Cenlter TAIPEI (NC)-Cardinal Tj{~n Medical Center, built in large measure by aid amounting to $975,000 provided directly or. in­ directly by Misereor, the over­ seas relief agency of German Catholics, has opened here~ .

Mis.ereor donated $225,000 and channelled $750,000 from various sources through the German Catholic Center for Help to De­ veloping Countries for the cen­ ter.

Madame Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the president of the Re­ !public of China, cut the ribbon at the oHicial opening.

The Tien Medical Center is a Un-bed general hospital named xor the late Thomas Cardinal Tien who, while apostolic ad­ ministrator of the Taipei arch­ diocese, conceived the idea of a large Catholic hospital to serve the poor and sick of the area. It is the largest Catholic hospital in Taiwan.

.Capotal Studies Taxing

Tax-Exempt Institutions

DC Government Needs $43 Million Revenue WASHINGTON (NCr - The District of Columbia government is considering a tax raising ex­ cursion into the fields of reli­ gious, charitable, educational and other tax-exempt institu­ tions.

If past experiences are crite­ ria, the excursion, if carried out, may prove extremely hazardous.

The nation's capital needs $43 million in revenue to balance the 1970 fiscal year budget. In recent years, the usual sources­ real estate, sales, gasoline, liquor, personal property, income-have been tapped repeatedly for addi­ tional taxes.

IDisastrous Result Now Deputy Mayor Thomas W. Fletcher and the City Coun­ cil's finance committee have been looking around for new sources. City Council Chairman John W. Hechinger has disclosed it just about has been decided to . .tax real estate of religious and . other exempt institutions.

It has been estimated thIs would yield nearly $18 million in new tax funds.

It might be wise for the city tax gatherers to bone up on such adages as "the past is prologue'~ and "look before you leap."

The last major venture by the city into the hazardous field of levying against religious apd other tax-exempt sources oc­ cured some 20 years ago. The result .was disastrous-for the , city.

A DC budget officer came up' with the plan, which he "sold" to the DC Commissi~ners,.then the city fathers, over the objec­ Uons of his boss, the then Cor­ poration Counsel and now U. S. District Court Judge Richmond B. Keech. .

The plan called for taxing in­ come on parking lots, where charges are made, of churches, schools and other such establish­ ment; levying against cafeterias and snack bars at such institu­ tions at the Methodist :auUding, on Capitol Hill, where the food was excellent, and the Francis­ can Monastery, a favorite among the sight-seeing spots.

The plan, devised t() yield sev­ eral tidy millions, was put into effect. The institutions paid the taxes on advice of counsel, but

under protest. The city fathers and the budget officer failed to reckon with the fact that Con­ gress still is the law making body for the capital. The upshot was a study of the new tax plan by the Senate and House Dis­ trict of Columbia Committees.

The result was enactment of more rigid tax-exempt law for religious, educational, charitable and other tax exempt institu­ tions in the city.

And, to top it off, the city had to return all the monies it had

Private Coneges Face Possibility Of Entinction

THE ANCHORThurs., Nov. 28, ',"' n

LOO'i)$DIT'U@ ~C·~ ~ts

Utr~j'® ~O@cs:@~-~~'e

PHILADELPHIA (NC)­ There are "unmistakable signs that our public-private pluralistic system in Amer­ ican higher education is running into serious problems," Father Paul C. Reinert, S.J., St. Louis University president, said.

Speaking at the inauguration of Father Terrence Toland, S.J., as president of St. Joseph's Col­ lege here, Father Reinert said that "unless the American pub­ lic, speaking and acting through their governmental representa­ tives, do something substantially and specifically aimed at strengthening the private sector, our educational system will have changed radically for the worse by 1980."

Need Tangible Efforts "Tax supported institutions are experiencing real difficulties, serious in some areas, almost dis­ astrous in others where citizens are not supporting higher edu­ cation as it deserves," he said.

"But private colleges, in spite of the fact that they are provid­ ing bona fide educa,tional oppor­ tunities, in spite of the fact that they are producing trained man­ power for our' communities, in spite of the fact that they are preventing the public institu­ tions from being overwhelmed with the burden of bulging enrollments and mounting costs, in spite of all this, the private institutions are f·acing a situa.tion which could end in extinction for some, and mediocre, half­ life for others," Father Reinert said.

"The American people, supported institutions, political leaders - all subscribe to the value of our diversified system, but that persuasion has to mani­ fest itself, and soon, in tangible efforts to provide some form of assistance at both the state and Ifederal level in the form of grants and loans to students, some workable plan for tui·tion equalization, and some equitable formula for general support grants from the federal govern­ ment."

Hope of Better World Institutions of higher learning, both public and priva·te, "must seriously endeavor to reduce op­ erating costs through more effi­ cient management; they must enhance their endowment earn­ ings through less conservative policies; they must strengthen their development and fund­ raising programs," he said.

"Within our educational insti­ tutions lies the hope of a better world," Father Reinert said, "For it is within the academic community that we must keep the human spirit free and flex­ ible, responding to the needs and hopes of a rapidly changing society.

"Within the free academic tra­ dition each institution must carve out its own destiny, itl? own contribution to the total task of. reconstructing man and and of reconciling man with man.

"No one institution can do all that will be required, least of all the private institutions with their limited resources. Each college, each university must decide what it can do best."

Griffin Family Active in CCD Program On Parish, Diocesan Level "You're my ideal of a real Christian family." That's wbat a friend recently said to Robert and Lydia Griffin of Holy Name parish, .Fall River. Small wonder. As well as bringing up six happy, healthy youngsters, the Griffins are head over heels in Con­ fraternity of Christian Doctrine activity on both the parishaJid Diocesan level. Their particular love among the Their children, pupils at Holy and is currently attending eve­ v:aried programs offered by Name School, "know as much as ning Classes at SMTI. He is per­ CCD is the Parent-Educator we do about the Parent-Educator sonnel manager for De Soto­ committee. This rather awe­ program, Bnd they help us when .Artcraft Co, of Fall River, re­ somely named group has a down-to-earth purpOS2, that of meeting and influencing parents, especially of pre-schoolers, in their own homes. The national CCD envisages a program where volunteers make regular visits to homes with young children, bringing with them leaflets on religious formation geare'd to age levels from birth to six years.

Under the Griffins, however, the Holy Name Parent-Educa­ tors have gone beyond the visit­ ing project. Their involvement with a family begins when a baby is baptized and two Parent­ Educators are at the ceremony to welcome. the new Christian into the parish community.

Thereafter the families are lov­ ingly followed up and, in some cases, given material as well as spiritual assistance.

As well as being co-chairmen of their parish Parent-Educator unit, the Griffins are co-chair­ men of the Diocesan committee, which seeks to activate the program in all parishes.

Additionally, Bob is CCD

president and vice-chairman of the parish council at Holy Name, and Lydia serves on the coun­ cil's ecumenical committee.

With Cursillo The Griffins' commitment to apostolic activitiy began, they say, earily in 1967 when they made Cursillos at the Holy Cross

Fathers Retreat House in North

Easton. Cursillistas are urged to become involved in parish ac­ tivity, an~ the Griffins took the call seriously.

"We realized," said Bob, "how good God had been to us, and ' we decided we had to do some­ thing."

we have to go. out to a meet­ ing." The youngsters are Sandra Judeth, 12; Judeth Elaine, lOlh; Nancy Judeth, 8lh; Robert Jude, 7; Kathleen Judeth, 3; and Christine Judeth, 16 mont~.

"Judeth, not Judith," empha­ sizes Bob. He and Lydia explain that the family has a special de­ votion to St. Jude, dating from a seemingly miraculous recovery from illness Bob experienced at the age of 10.

"I'm not organized," admits Lydia, "but I try to take advan­ tage of everything that comes along with the children," The family enjoys liturgical customs such as the Advent wreath and the Jesse tree during the Christmas season; and basics such as brotherhood are taught by direct action.

Such action took' place recent­ ly when the Griffins heard of a black family living in a white neighborhood. and harassed to such an extent that they dared not leave their house unattend­ ed for fear it would be burned.

The families became acquainted and the Griffins proved friends in need when the father of the black family required hospital­ ization. Lydia and Bob babysat 'so the wife could visit her hus­ band, and when Sandra Griffin baked her first cake she pre­ sented it triumphantly to her new friends.

Righi now the Griffin.children .are busy with Christmas plans that will include the other fam­ ily. "Give us less so you can

give to them," said one of the children.

Both Griffins are Diocesan natives. Bob is a graduate of Coyle High School in Taunton

AUSTIN (NC)-The social ~ tion department of the Texas Catholic Conference has pledged to support the boycott of table grapes launched by the United Farm Workers Organizing Com­ mittee, AFL-CIO, in an attempt to force California grape grow­ ers to a bargaining session for lil labor contract.

The action was taken here at the department's quarterly meeting. The department con­ gratulated UFWOC for attempt.. ing to awaken the nation's con­ science to the need for a labor contract and asked each diocese to inform the people of the need to support the nationwide bO)'­ cotto .

Earlier, Archbishop Robert E.

Lucey of San Antonio, had

pledged his support for the bo,..

cott and urged all administra­

tors of institutions in the arch­ diocese "to consider refrainin, from the purchase of all Cali­ fornia table grapes,"

sponsible for the well-being of 200 employes.

Lydia is a graduate of sacred Hearts Academy, Fall River.

The family has been in Holy Name parish 7 years and before that lived in St. Joseph's and Sacred Heart parishes.

The Griffins weren't eager to have a story written about them­ selves. But other CCD workers pointed out that maybe families who think they're far too busy to engage in parish programs will think again when they read about parents of six who can do it.

City Council Votes to Pay Salaries Of Catholic School Lay Teachers

Stresses Bishops' Pastoral Letter"S)"Second Section

MARLBORO (NC)-Although viewed as fmcturing the time­ honored Church-State separation concept, the Marlboro City Coun­ cil voted 6-to-4 to pay salaries of lay teachers employed in Cath­ olic schools in this community.

The action was characterized

by Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston as "unconstitutional." It generally was agreed the action will spark violent repercussions, possibly in the state legislature, before it f.inally is resolved.

But Msgr. Joseph P. Sullivan, pastor of Immaculate Conception church and administrator of its padsh school here, said the aotion may touch off a legislative de­ bate which will lead to a review of the state's "anti-aid" amend­ ment enac,ted in 1917.

The amendment prohibits ex­ pending public funds to aid r~li-

That was as safe as betting that the sun would rise the fol­ llowing morning or that Senator Eugene McCarthy would not be appointed Secretary of State in' 'the next administration. In other words, I won the bet - hands 'down. ~,"During an hour-long, rapid­ jUre press conference presided ovet: by Bishop John J. Wright· of Pittsburgh as' chairman' of the 'committee which drafted the 'pastoral, the reporters concen­ ·trated almost exclusively on the' sUbject of birth control, asking eloser to 40, rather than 20, (!juestions on this issue to every '(!)I\e that they asked about even the' most controversial state­ 'ments made by the Bishops in the field of international rela­ -tions.

At Vision forum Sister Charles Marie, S.U.S.C. and Sister Anne Raymond, S.U.S.C. of Sacred Heart School, North Attleboro, were among nearly 300 "educators, optome­ trists,' psychologists and other professionarpeople attending the third annual New England In­ terprofessional Forum on Vision and Reading held re'cently in Boaton.

been severely criticized in re-' cent years for their allegedly ultra-conservative stance on· matters of foreign policy and in­ ternational ethics-would come out so strongly in this year's pastoral in favor of such a wide range of "liberal" or progressive policy' positions..

Endorse SeQ More specifically, I myself would have given substantial odds as recently as two or'three months ago that they would not endorse selective conscientious objection. for example, and ,would not call for an end to the draft.

Now that they hlivedone so--' q.uite unreservedly in the - case oi.SCO-it is to be hoped that t~eir ,critics will get off their collective back and let them alone for a wJ1ile, at least on these particular .issues, and :will bE;gin' to figure out what they themselves ought to be d.oing on their own initiative to' imple­ ment the second section of 'the pastoral.

So long as the bishops were dragging their feet-or at least appeared -to be dragging their feet-on SCO and related issues, their critics' understandably felt that they had to keep prodding them to take a stand.

It seems to me, hQwever that the time has come for someone to begin to prod the prodders themselves into action (as op­ posed to their llQgging others i l1 to action or complaining about their lack; of action) and'to mind them th~t the bishops such can do so much and no more to change the institutions of ;society.

Let's Get Bus)', The time has come, in other words, to recognize that the rest is up to us. Another way of say.. ing the same thing is that, so far as.. I am personally concerned, the bishops, for the time being at least, have now said just about as much as anyone has a right to expect them to say in the field. of intermitional ethics.

If anyone has a right to expect them to say any more or if they were to get more - specific in their poiicy' reCommendations, t~ey would leave themselves open to the charge of indulging in a form of n~o-clericalism.

,Governmen't Aids Private Schools SYDNEY (NC). - The New

South Wales state government

believes strongly in maintaining

and encouraging the dual system

of public and private education,

State Premier Robin W. Askin

said here in Australia.

"We are not spending nearly . enough on independent schools," he said. "I can a~ure you the - government does realize this and wants to do a. great deal more."

The premier, addressing ~ large audience in the Sydney Town Hall, added that finance is the only. thing holding the gov­ enunent back. Although state aid is a 'subject that provoked much controversy, the premier said he is convinced that the principle of providing reason­ able government aid to indepen­ dent schools is widely 'accepted today.

Referring to recent comments

of Auxiliary Archbishop James

P. Carroll of Sydney that he be­

lieves the real solution to the

aid problem will be found in

more substantial assistance from

the commonwealth, the premier

said he had just written to Prime

Minister John Gorton urging

"favorable consideration by the'

gious denominations or schoo1e not under public supervision. . The monsignor said the city council decision may force the legislature "to update its think­ ing on Church-State relations."

The proposal was introduced

by Edward N. Cusson, council president, who pointed out that; if the community's Oa,tholic schools should be closed because of lack of funds to pay lay teach­ ers, it would cost the city an esti­ mated $750,000 to absorb the parochial school students in the public school system.

Cusson estimated there now are 1,000 students in Marlboro parochial schools.

He contended that by expend­ ing $60,000 to pay the Catholic schools' lay teachers' saIaries, the city in the long run would save money. .

As a token of appreciation, the La Salettes are gl'anting the, Sisters the use of their' former" j'unior college building on Cape Cod, for' this ' new foundation. A group of fathers and brothers occupy the adjacent residence which is the former, Provincial House. This house is open to priests and religious for retreats. This com­ pound was formerly the Roland C. Nickerson estate. ' 'Father Bedard, the provincial superior of the La Salette com­ munity is quoted as .saying:

"Having untiringly worked for us

with great devotion for the past forty years, we are happy to be

able to render them' this service,

with the sincere hope that an American novitiate will entice more young women to take no­ tice of this dedicated community. and thus be ,encouraged to join its r,anks." The Sisters have been on Cape 'Cod since 1944.

The Sisters of St. Martha were rounded 80 years' ago in 'Canada by the Bishop of St. Hyacinthe.

P. Q., and Miss Eleonore Char'­ won. Both were inspired by the' -'biblical Martha in her hospital­ i-ty toward the Lord, and by the _need of religious women to as­ sist priests in the work, even though it may be ina hidden yet indispensable fashion.

The purpose and the spirit of the religious group was ex­ pressed by MotileI' Germaine Lussier; the first American to: become novice-mistress in the community, when she cpmmcnt-

ties, we, always consider' Olll,'':' ·two novices, Sister Bernice An.selves' to be co-workers: and derson' of' Montreal, P ..Q., and sharers in their apostolate."

Siste,r Mary Anne Samuels of . Besides' East Brewster, ~he Sisters also work at La Salette houses in Enfield, N.·H.; in At:­ Ueboro and iIi Montreal. They are equally active in a' number of parishes and houses of studies in the States and Canada. Their, first team 'of missionaries left for Senegal; Africa last week,. to ' assist in nursing and catechetical works.

degenerated into disorder, con- '
