More than one Council Father has said that he will be ashamed to return to his see if there is nota clear and forceful decree passed on "The Church in the Modern World."

In fact, most of the non-Catholic, non.,Christian world has seen all the decrees' that .have . come from the council 8() far as pertaining on:Iy to the internal affair~ of. the Church.

This one decree in some . way touches upon them; this sealed and proclai~d for good. as it wer~a friendly invitatioft A small vociferous group of for second:thoughts by all athe­ is the one place in which Council Fathers <about 450) ists, there ~hould be no by-name they may feel to be on com­ have insisted on a renewed condemnation of this one ideo­ mon ground with Catholics. . However, how is it possible to make such meaningful and important affairs clear and yet not permit the Church to be used as a pawn in political crises? For, no matter how they_: are treated, the three remaining problems iIi the decree-Com­ munism, Atomic Weapons and Birth Control-are today tools' of politics besides having deep moral comiotations.· . . The problem, becomes even· more serious when it is realized, that there is next to no time lelt for debate on these three issues. The final suggestions how the final draft is to look will possibly be made less than 24 hours before the decree is

Furthermore, ComnlUnism has been clearly and . bitterly oon­ demned by the Church in every' possible way•. Even '~ope .Paul VI, in his recent addr~sses,has left no room for doubt that the Church is firmly opposed· to all Marxist id~logies. . Therefore, the Church surely is not changing its mind in this important "wor~ly" decree. :aut it is' felt that since this is a pastoral approach; since it is­

logy. .

Some officials have even. pointed out that Pope John, when he created the commission that deals with these problems, requested' that it riot condemn Communism or Marxism by name because such a condem­ nation could be used as a tool in' politiclil polemics.

The late Holy Father asked that· the 'commission stick to militant atheism as a theological 'and philosophical issue in writ· ing its text "rather than. give a tool to the politicians of either the right or the left," official8 said.

Food and Drug Agency Asks Birt.h Control Pill Warning

Christmas Lights At La SaI·ette

WASHINGTON (NC)-The Food and Drug Adminis­ tration is asking manufacturers of oral contraceptives to include with the. drugs warnings that they may cause eye damage. Disclosure of the FDA's action came after pub­ lication of a report involving . States and six in Australia and It cases of women who suf­ Canada. . ; fered strokes, eye damage The report said stroke syn­ and other injuries after t~k­ dromes were foUnd in 17 women Ing oral contraceptives. .The various conditions all involve the body's blood-clotting me­ ehanism.

An FDA spokesman said the agency has not established a eause and effect relationship be­ tween the drugs and clotting disorders.

Warning The agency announced that an expert committee would meet on the question. Its final report is expected about next March and could lead to "a standard warning across the board" for aU oral contraceptives, it was stated.

The report on women who suffered eye damage and other injuries after taking the drugs was published in the Archives of Ophthalmology. It was prepared

by Dr. Frank B. Walsh, emeritus professor of ophthalmology at .Tohns Hopkins medical school In Baltimore, and three collea­ lUes. Of the 61 cases covered, one was a fatality. The women in­ wIved ranged in age from 13 to 50, but some 60 per cent were below age of 35. This "may be significant," the authors said, because strokes in women under the age of 30 are unusual.

Cases The 61 cases were reported in !'esponse to an invitation by the Archives of Ophthalmology, which is a publication of the American Medical Association. rifty-five were in the United

Michigan Sc"h~1 Use Starts Controversy UTICA (NC) A Shelby Township resident has charged the Utica School Board with allowing seven public schools to be used illegally for religious purposes. The board doesn't see things that way.

The protest has been made by .James Husk of Shelby Township, who said he represented the Congress for Public Schools, which has 50 members. He com­ plained that use of public school property for teaching religion is • violation of a 1948 decision of the U. S. Supreme Court.

William Robert, board presi­ dent, said Catholic catechism classes are permitted to be con­ ducted in the seven Michigan schools after regular school hours. He added that despite the protest they will be allowed to continue at least until he gets a ruling from Michigan Atty. Gen. rrank J. Kelley.

who took the oral contracep­ tives, eye complaints in 21 wom­ en, and migraine headaches in 10 women. Nausea, vomiting and dizziness were common among all 61.

In some of the cases the vari­ ous conditions disappeared or improved when use of the oral contraceptions ceased, it was reported.

In October, the AMA Journal published a report on "The Con­ trol of Fertility," prepared by the association's Committee on Human Reproduction, which in its survey of birth control tech­ niques omitted mention of the safety factor in regard .to oral contraceptives.

In an interview published in the Washington Post, the com­ mittee's chairman, Dr. Raymond T. Holden of Washington, said of his group's report on contracep­ tive drugs, "Maybe it wasn't strong enough * * '" It's possible we didn't stress the side effects."

Shriver Asks Nuns Join Peace Corps WASHINGTON (NC) - Sar­ gent Shriver urged here that seminarians an~ nuns join the Peace Corps and the war on poverty's VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) program.

Shriver, director of the Peace Corps and the Office of Econom­ ic Opportunity, spoke as he re­ ceived the annual Cardinal Gib­ bons Medal for service to the nation ~t the homecoming ban­ quet of the Catholic University of ,America alumni association.

Citing a "revolution in parti­ cipation" at home and abroad in which the;! poor and others are taking action and making deci­ sions in matters affecting their lives, . he urged seminary stu­ dents of all faiths and nuns to take "citizen sabbaticals'./.- to serve in the Peace Corps over­ seas and in VISTA, the domestic anti-poverty volunteer corps.

For the 13th year a Christmas display of lights may be seen at La Sallette Shrine, Route 118, . AttlebOro. Opening ceremonies were held Sunday and the lights will be turned on from five to 10 nightly through Sunday, Jan. 9..Shrine officials announce that special police will handle traffic and that parking space for 1600 . cars is available. Last year an estimated half million people saw the display, which features some 50,000 lights.

Stresses Social Problems Need

Council Decrees

The close of Vatican Council II will signal both an end and a' beginning. The formal work of the Council Fa­ thers, gathered together and learning and teaching and la)1ing down patterns' and guidelines that will influence not only the Catholic Church but the world for perhaps centuries to come, will have come to an end. But then the monumental work begifls of causing the Counc.il Decrees to filter throughout the whole Church, to touch the lives of all its members, to change and transform these into the more perfect Christians they are called upon to be.

The Council Decrees are magnificent documents.

Their pastoral tone, their rich use of Scripture, their deep psychological insight into the hearts of men, their all-embracing charity-all these mark them as extraordi­ nary documents. But documents they' will remain and pious fossils they will become unless they effect a ,change in the lives of men the world over.

That is why aU Catholics must not only be impressed by what people say ~mdwrite about the Council but must try to study· and think over' the Council Decrees. Their lives must, be irifluenced by these. Or else Vatican Council' II ,will have missed its purpose.

Msgr. Lawrence J. Corcorall ,told the 66th annual meeting of ,the New York State Welfare Conference, the state's profes­ sional organization for persons involved in social work, that five of the most important prob­ ,lems in the U. S. today are: Poverty-"and not simply pov­ erty, but poverty in the midst of' abundance."

"Our tremendous population growth."

"The weakening of the family as the fundamental unit of our society. The whole family con­ stellation has been weakened, family life is less stable than it was two generations ago, and so the social unit is unable to fulfill one of its most important func­ ,tions-the provision of basic se­ curity to its members." , "The increased awareness of "the' racial injustic~ which ~ ,wi~espread in our country. J say 'increased awareness' be­ cause there, has been segregatioill and discrimiliation for a long, 'long, time,but ,for many yeari , '.almost, no one paid' any attentio;a , to it." ' "A weakening of ethical value. in our society-or even a com­ plete lack of a set of values OIl the part of many people."

These problems, said Msgr.

Corcoran, "are truly problems of broad scope. To cope with them there must be massive planning, joint planning, and special attention given to man­ power planning."

The mass needs of our society demand mass solutions, he said, and the mass solutions demand "planning on 'a comparable scale. This means that there must be planning by a body or bodies comprehensive enough to encompass all the elements of the problem. Otherwise, there , will be no impact, or inadequate , impact, on the massive problem at hand." ,

Wild Extremists ,

The overwhelming majority of the council Fathers are con­ ~nced that it is unnnecessary and would be unwise for the council to adopt this amendment.

I happen to share this opinion, but I hasten to add that I respect the sincerity of those who drafted the amendment. Surely they have a perfect right .to push for its adoption by every legiti­ mate parliamentary means at their di,sposal.

On the other hand, I think they ought to disassociate them­ selves unequivocally from the wild extremists who have pre­ dictably jumped on their band­ wagon and are saying pointblank that the council's decision not to condemn Communism by name in Schema 13 or in any of its other official documents is proof that the "heresy" of neo-mod­ ernism (in Italian, "progressls­ mo") is widespread throughout the Church and even seems to have a stranglehold on the council itself.

Lack Courage This fantastic charge keeps eropping up in a variety of Ital­ ian and French newspapers and periodicals and is also being , echoed in a number of American hate-SheetS, including 'one par­ ticuhitIy vic lou s newsletter which 'speCializes in trying to destroy the reputation' of a :. highly re'spected American bish­ op who 'happens to be too "liber­ al" to' suit them.

Many' of the extremlStswho are leveling the charge of heresy against the council or against' in­ dividual bishops are cowards.

They don't have enough courage to show their hand in public.

What they really mean, but are afraid to say, is that Pope Paul-Who, after all, could easily get the council to condemn com­ munism if he so desired - has aold out to neo-modernism or ·progressismo."

HeresY-Huntin&' I might add that they are less afraid to say what they really think about Pope Paul's Jmmor­ tal predecessor. Indeed their posthumous efforts to impugn the orthodoxy of Pope John XXIII are enough to tum one's 8tomach.

Thus far, than}ts be to God, this sort of heresy-hunting­ which could simply be laughed off as a bad joke if it were not ao vicious in tone --- has been confined to a relatively' small' group of fanatics.'

By Mary Tinley Daly When pro meets pro in any field, it's a bystander's tr~t. And when two of the world's greatest heavyweight boxing champions appear on the same platform to discuss "the manly art,» 'tis small wonder blase, sophisticated newspapermen listen, ap­ dience had to be reminded of the plaud, even stand in line for Golden '20s when Gene Tunney, autographs, just as though gentleman and scholar, startled they were boys again. Occa· the ahletic world in September,

sion was a recent luncheon in the National Press Club, Wash· ington, D. C. Dressed in consel'­ vative business suits, Gene Tun­ ney an' d Jack Dempsey, both past holders of w'o,r I d, heavy- , ehamp,ion­ Ihip titles; free­ ly and openly , spoke Of boxing , as it 'was, ' as 'it ' is, al)d. the hope , . of What it might •. ',' .' become. "It's following a natural instinct: for male.s to scUffle, to fight 'to engage in bodily com­ bat,'" Mr. Tunney remarked. ' Newspapermen's heads nodded anent agreement. Matter of fact, anyone who has had a family of boys or who has so much as ob­ served a school playground at recess will attest the truth of that statement. (We were re­ minded of our twin grandsons who have been batting each other about since they were in the bassinet and who now, at the age of three, are full-fledged ..,arring partners.)

Deploring the use of switch­ blade knives ift teenage fights of today, Mr. Tunney cited the practice as "unfair, a mark of delinquency." This is unlike the sporting days of bare fists, a "may the best man win" spirit, with VietOr and vanquished Ihaking hands 'at the' elose of the bout.

TralniD« Ground.

Back in the days when these two giants of the squared· circle were on their way to the top, athletic clubs, named after ce­ lebrities, were 'used as training Il'ounds for boxers. Bouts were arranged between those of ap­

proximately equal weights. On

entering the ring they were in­

troduced as "both members, of

this club." Boxing skill was the telling factor.

Tunney and Dempsey agreed that television with its huge financial take, as high as $8 mil· lion a fight, has had disastrous effects on "the manly art." Mr. ' Tunney noted that while other sports have prospered under television, ''TV has killed box­ ing. Too many hoodlums have wormed in under the cloak of closed circuits."

Added the forthright Mr. Dempsey, "It's too bad no fighter nowadays has the sense to keep his mouth shut and let the public judge him for what he is."

More on today's fighters:. "I'd give (Cassius) Clay 2lh rounds 'against Dempsey,!' said Tunney,' "which would be about as lon, as Clay could run."

From Dempsey's corner: "Gene would have taken Clay out in a round." They agreed that Rocky Marciano, undefeated, was prob­ ably the greatest heavyweight fighter.

Nearly 40 years 'have elapsed since Dempsey and Tunney were champions. Yet none in the au-

1926, by taking the title away from Dempsey in the Philadel­ phia bout, then successfully re­ taining it one year later in Chi­ cago. That was the historic bat­ tle remembered for its "long count."

Do It Again?

Asked if they would pursue their pugilistic careers if they had it to do over again, the two men's answers were somewhat surprising. The 70-year-old Dempsey, the Scotch-Irish-Indian' who rose from hobQ ranks, an­ swered simply that, given the opportunity, he would "want to get a real education." Tunney, on the other hand, said that given the chance once, again, he would still want to fight.

However, riches of the mind have brought great pleasure to Gene Tunney. He recounted vis­ iting, with Mrs. Tunney, the George Bernard Shaws in En­ gland and the long walks and talks he had with the noted Irish playwright. One such walk-and­ talk had lasted six hours, others an hour or so each, "and we sun had plenty to talk about."

Jack Dempsey closed the luncheon session with a fight story, amusing his listeners: "A little fig~ter ~ knew tried but never could get any place in the ring. So, to work 'off. his frustration, and to keep'in prac­ tice, he beat up his wife every day. ' "Finally, the wife got tired 01 that ,business and hauled the lit­ tle fighter iJito court. , ' . U 'Is it true what this womall says about YOl1? That you beat her every day?' the judge asked.

Christm'osVi I tloge Opens Tomorrow

By Joseph and Man1yn Roderick

As we approach Christmas, Catholic parents are

eonfronted with the problem of keeping it a religious day.

This is easier said than done. How can we possibly compete against television, toy displays, Santa Claus and all the other commercial aspects of Christmas? Marilyn and I have been tackling this prob­ lem for the past few years, mill, and what would please that creative gourmet more than a and although we have not beautiful springerle cookie mold been wholly successful, we that could grace her kitchen

have made some strides in the right direction. For one thing, we have found that the celebra­ tion of Advent with nightly prayers around the Advent Wreath is important because it prepares the children for the coming of Christ. In addition. celebration of St.' Nicholas Day adds a great deal to the meaning of Christmas.

Traditionally St. Nicholas Is thought of in many European countries much as we' think of our Santa Claus. In Holland, es­ pecially, St. Nicholas Eve cele­ brated December 5; is a time of gift giving. The gifts consist of shoes filled with fruit, candy and eookies and are mainly for the children.

In our family we have broken with this tradition in making it a day for religious gift giving.

This is the perfect day to give the children their first rosazY, a statue of their patron saint, a wall plaque for their room, a religious painting or an install­ ment on a nativity set.

The first year we celebrated St. Nicholas Day, we bought each of our girls a pretty little doll, but we realized afterward that this was just anticipating Christ­ mas gift-giving and did not serve any special purpose. "So last year we bought each little girl a pretty Christmas book' and a wooden rosary with large col­ ored .beads. The rosaries were . perfect gifts, since the children were very' .proud to have theirown beads and were eager to tIcSe them for. our nightly Advent prayers. .

This' year .we plan to .add a aewcuStoDl to religious gift.,.d.v­ Ing. On December 6, barring anow, we shall plant rose which will henceforth be known as the St. Nicholas Rose. This leems to me the perfect remind­ er' that r.hristmas il; not just • time to receive gifts, but also a time to do something permanent.

In the Kitchen Are you still gazing with puz­ zled frown and puckered brow at your gift list? Is there still no c:heckmark next to your favorite sister-in-Iaw's name, or when you think what to get for Aunt Mary, do you still draw a blank.

My following suggestion' won't help at al: if either of these peo­ ple, or any other question marks . on your list, find cooking a nec­ essary evil. If, however, any of

these women love the challenge and enjoyment of preparing a good meal and serving it in the

proper setting, then what could please them more than some­

thing to make their hobby more pleasurable.

I'm not suggesting that you buy some large appliance, but rather that you gift your cooking friends with those extra or little luxury items that one can do without but doing with is so much more :fun. The woman who serves the most elegant shrimp dishes in town would probably be delighted with a shrimp deveiner, Ii little item she has neglected to buy fot herself, or that gal who entertains most lavishly with buffet dinners will probably go into ecstacy over a hot plate or chafing dish to keep hot dishes at their proper .tem­ perature. .

The coffee addict could real17 brag about his or her coffee if "our gift waa an 'electric coffee

a:

wall when not in use. The list is endless and many items are in­ expensive yet unusual, such as an automatic clam shucker, a thermo spoon (a thermometer and cooking spoon combined) or a monthly shipment of shallots by mail. Yet these are things that even the most avid cook feels a bit extravagant in buying for herself. . Cookbooks are always a most welcome gift and some of the latest of these will be reviewed in one of my columns before Christmas. If your gift is for one who puts Julia Childs on a pedestal and has a secret ambi­ tion to study some day at the Gordon Bleu, then a SUbscription to a cooking magazine called Gourmet would be perfect. This magazine is seldom found on· newsstands in this area, but it is a source of marvelous recipes for the discerning chef. Or if you know your gift recipient could spare the time and could travel there, a ticket to Mrs. Childs cooking show' would certainly give an afternoon of deep plea­ sure. All these gifts take is a bit of thought, some knowledge of the ones you're giving them to and of course a source from which they may be obtained.

If you spend a bit of time l~ok­ ing for this soUrce and you just can't envision what to . have for lunch, the following egg dish is 'both nutritious and delicioUs. . Baked Eggs an Gratin 2 cups fresh bread crumN (the blender is a big help here) 8 eggs 1 teaspoon salt ~ teaspoon pepper .

"The most fundamental prob­ .lem for the Church in the inner eitY seems to be confusion and ancertainty' regarding, its pre­ 'Jise role," they 'said; Lack of Research The '25 experts" jolped by an lquil1 number of o,bservers, in­ rluding, 'Protestant and Jewish : representative,s, took part in a '1wo.,.day conference' at ' Catholic University of' America under JPonsorship of the Center for Applied Research in the Aposto­ late (CARA).

CARA was established at the lUliversity in March, 1965, and " supportel;! by 200 provinces of U.S. Catholic Religious orders.

Ibe summary statement of the ~er city conference was is,: lUed by CARA's executive direc­ k>r, Father Louis J. Luzbetak.

Participants said there is in­ lI'easing engagement by the thurch in inner city problems, ktt there is a lack of research III1d of a clearinghouse of in­ Iormation on existing programs.

Middle of Road 'rhe conference was primarily levoted: to pointing up questions IlIld needs of inner city work rather than recommending speci" lic 'courses of actions, but par­ Icipants did advise that in ,deal­ Ing with some prob~ems, "the Middle ,of the road is not always Ile bes.t path." , Without direct reference to Illy of' the recent disputes in leveral' 'cities over involvement at clergy or parishes in militant livil rights projects, the ,con­ lerence's summary said: ..At ~ertain times for certain ,,"oblems, a bold, even radical approach is required. In other Instances, gradual action will be lite wisest course. Moreover, uni­ Iormity of approach or method 'within a parish or a diocese Ihould not be regarded as es­ EntiaI. Tolerance of one an­ Mher's honest efforts is an im­ portant virtue."

Birth Control Fund

Plea Disturbing

HARRISBURG (NC) - The i'ri-County Commission oJ:). Eco­ nomic Qpportunity has voted here' over Catholic opposition to seek federal funds for a birth control clinic as part of the area anti-poverty program.

The Pennsylvania commission approved plans to seek some '42,000 in federal anti-poverty lunds for the clinic despite a' lItatement in opposition read by rather Joseph Hilbert on behalf II the Harrisburg diocese's Anti­ Poverty Commission.

"We are disturbed," the state­ JftEmt said, "that the real moti­ ,_tion behind much of the push lor government birth control is aot only to reduce the cost of public assistance, but to slow Itown the proliferating of so­ {talled 'undesirables.'''

The statement added that the Bovernment's position on family flanning "should be one of neu­ trality."

Pueblo Diocese Joins Colorado Church Council

Thurs., Dec.

Cardinal Beran

To Visit U:.5.

ROME (NC)-A Czech ear-" dinal who spent 18 years under Ilazi and communist· detent.ion will make a tour of the United States in 1966 at the invitation of ~everal American bishops.

A three-week tour is being ar­ ranged for Joseph Cardinal Ber­ an of Prague by BIshop John Morkovsky, apostolic admini­ strator of the Galveston-Hous­ ton diocese, immediately af~er Easter.

Receptions and lectures have already been planned in Wash­ ington, Philadelphia and Chicago as well as in Houston, the bishop said. St. Procopius College in Lisle, 1Il., has made plans to eonfer an honorary degree upon the cardinal.

Bishop Markovsky said he was in contact with several other American bishops who have expressed interest in Car­ dinal Beran's visit, but that so far the detailS of the itinerary have not been settled. He said the cardinal has expressed a desire to visit as many centers of emigrants as possible during Ilia visit.

The Texas bishop, born in America, is of Czech ancestor.

Pontiff Stresses Dogma Stability

PUEBLO (NC) - The Pueblo Diocese has joined the Council of Churches of Pueblo, which was formerly an all-Protestant group.

The only other American Catholic see which has joined the Council of Churches is the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, N.M., which joined in December 1964.

The Diocesan Commission on Unity, which officially is the • Catholic organization that joined, will now urge pastors and priests to join local church councils and ministerial organizations.

Individual priests of the dio­ cese, which embraces all of. southern Colorado, have joined ministerial associations in the past few months with the ap­ proval of Bishop Charles A. Buswell. The diocese's member­ ship will not affect individual pastors unless they choose to affiliate with the council them­ selves.

It is expected that this section of the diocese will spill over to lay members of the Catholic faith in southern Colorado to some degree.

Jewish Dialo«ue Although Catholics are expect­ ed not to attend worship servi­ ces in Protestant churches, they are tree to attend other func­ tions.

The Commission on Unity has held a meeting with leaders of Pueblo's Jewish community in an attempt to establish Catholic­ Jewish dialogue here.

The first. dialogue session is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 15 at the United Hebrew Center, with a similar session in a Cath­ olic church the following week.

Attendance at these sessions will b~ limited to clergy and invited delegates, with open meetings to follow later.

The series of dialogues will be divided into phases, each deal­ ing with a special· topie. Each phase will begin with private meetings for special grouPs and will elimax with one or more public sessions.

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Noting that many people find the dog­ matic teachings of the Church oppressive, Pope Paul VI has declared that Catholic teaching is based on the rocklike stability guaranteed by Christ to Peter and his successors.

During his usual Wednesday .public audience, the Pope made the theme of his brief talk the significance of the word "rock," which Christus~d when He re­ ferred to Peter as the .rock upon which He would found His Church.

In alluding to the rock, "Christ referred to the. firmness, stabil­ ity and perrenial nature of· :His proclamation regarding the mes-· sianicand divine reality· .of Christ, that is to ·say it. referred to the qualities which Simon Peter had to· have,". the· Pope· said. ..

, The Pope noted that th~ "men:­

tality of many· men. and particu­

larly of scholars· is· not pn;dis-.

posed to receive. the luminous

gift of the dogmatic truths of the

Church. Scientific progress it­

self, which shows how so-called

scientific truths are changeable,

gives rise to an attitude of * * •

transient intellectuality and at

"times of systematic uncertainty,"

which seems very wise but which

"prevents not only adherence to

the perennial, true doctrine of

the Church" but also the admis­

sion that this "adherence is le­

gitimate."

Needs of the Poor Church

God Love You

Thomas 'Merton Book Gives Understanding of Liturgy

By Most ,Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, DoD. When we hear the word ·co-existence," we immediately think of Communism and the free world. But the problem is not limited to the political sphere. There is a problem far more serious than political struggle. It is the problem of co-existence between the rich Church and the poor Church, that is, the Church on the Amer­ ican continent and the Church in Brazil, or India, or the Congo or Korea. It is proper that a parish, say in a rich suburb, should have a church, school, convent and rectory in keeping with their means. But the practical question is: Where should the limit to these expenditures be fixed? Should a gymnasium or a library in a wealthy university cost eight million or even three million dollars? How determine their needs? Is there any limit to the number of cars a rich family should have? Where is the boundlUT between luxury and decency?

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy How well is the implementation of the Constitution on the Liturgy going? No simple answer to that question ean be given. In s.ome places, the reformed liturgy has been enthusiastically received and is being impressively partici­ pated in. In other places,' thony of Egypt, the first of the it is indifferently regarded desert fathers, found himself, and half-heartedly carried and ~s vocation, through the out.

Urges Court Weigh Views o,n Obscenity NEW YORK (NC) - The di'": rectors of an interfaith decency group have urged the U. S. Su­ preme Court to pay more atten­ tion to the feelings of the "aver­ age person" in deciding obscen­ ity cases. , A statement by the board of directors of Operation Yorkville said "the people of'the United States have expressed their community standards. The peo­ ple believe that obscene material should be restrained by the courts implementing effective laws."

The Supreme Court will soon hear arguments in three major cases involving the issue ofob­ seeDity and free speech. Its de­ -cision could set new legal norms on the problem.

Dispensation ~ontinued from Page One ops and'Fathers. ' Wednesday, Dec. 8, the Feast - of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Holyday of Obligation.

The Triduum prayer: "Pour into our hearts, 0 Lord, Thy Spirit of love, that we who are refreshed by Thy heavenly food of life, may be made one in devotion to Thee.

May we all give proof of our love by serving as true apos­ tles of the Gospel, bringing faith, hope and charity to ·our neighbors, Through Christ Our Lord. Amen."

One bishop In France spoke of the rrowing needs of his diocese and mentioned among others: "cinemas, gymnasi1UD8 and recreation halls." The next day 26 pas­ tors protested against such priorities In the face of the aching poverty of the world. They touched on the boundary, the limit, namely, the "needs" of the poor missions and the poor churches throughout the world. These, according to their views, set a limit to expendi­ tures. There is no answer to this ques­ tion in the abstract. No one can tell you how much to spend on a building. The solution is in the concrete, order. We must take a look at the poor and then decide. We must listen to a mission­ ary bishop at the Council who told me that one of his flock came to him one day and said, "I ate meat on Friday." The bishop asked him where he got the meat, and the man answered: "I killed a rat on Friday and since It would not keep until Saturday, I ate It. It was my first meat in two months." The bishop- went on to tell me that some of his people who found rats on Friday broke their legs and thus were able to keep them until Saturday when they could eat them. These are the needs of the poor Church. Do not the poor like this in many parts of the world set a boundary to our expeilditures-a bolind­ ary in Christ?

Suppose on the way to the grocery store you meet a poor person who really needs a quarter. You go into the store arid buy him some food. This is co-existence on' a very small scale. In other ,words, there is no rule for sharing. We fix the limits by thinking of the needs of others in the world. Try to co-exist with those who eat rats and send them the money that you didn't need to spend on an extra cocktail, dessert or dress. God Love You!

Missionaries Must Respect

Cultures of Other Lands

Edited by John J. Considine, M.M. From "The Church in the New Latin America" The guests from Latin America at the Catholic Inter-' American Cooperation Program conference held in Chicago in 1964 were a distinguished group, including prelates, priests and laity. Each U. S. citizen who attended the con­ ference came away with memories of. his own selected missionaries in the Far East had few among them who hl:\d been all but forgotten. outstanding predecessors made a special impression on to Some Pere Lebbe had voiced this

him. One outstanding personality was Dr. Aristides Calvani Silva, founder and di­ rector of the School of Social Services of the Andres Bello Catholic Uni­ versity of Cara­ cas, Venezuela.

Dr. Calvani has been a lawyer sin c e 1942, a professor and a political leader.

But of particu­ lar concern to us is the fact that he is'a thoughtful student of the 1 Church's apostolate in the broad and deep sense of this term.

He probably better than any other speaker from Latin Amer­ iea put his finger most precisely tin the requisites which mission­ aries from the United States . should possess for service in Latin America. His message, de­ livered .with a'mercurial sJriile,

was truly -heart-lifting. .

Respect for Cultures HIs. not one of the secrets of. success of a priest who goes overseas for the Gospel his read­

ness to adapt himself to the cul­

ture of the people among whom he labors? Does not the failure of some missionaries stem from trying to impose their ways on other peoples?

"Missionaries, for example, sought without success to intro­ duce Christianity to the Chinese in terms of their European cus­ toms. It seems that we are suc­ cessful • when we work within the culture of those to whom we go and we usually fail when we become intent upon advocating our own."

Thus at one point of the C I COP conference discussions a priest summarized the current missionary position on culture.

It was for a Latin American layman to surprise the auditors by evidencing his' familiarity with this classic missionary con­ troversy of the ages. The layman \yas Dr. Aris.tides Calvani of the Catholic Andres Bello University . of Caracas, Veneuela.

"This thesis," obser:ved Dr: Calvani, ".is ably supPorted by' the splendid book of a Belgian writer on the·life' of Pere Lebbe of China. (Leclerq, .Thunder in the Distance, the Life of Pere Lebbe, Sheed and Ward, 1958,) Its lesson applies not only to the great world of missions but to Latin America as well. This book made a profound impression on me, It establishes most convinc­ ingly the simple fact that the priest succeeds in his apostolate when he approaches with an open mind the persons whom he encounters overseas, seeking first of all to know what these persons are as well as who they are and how they order their lives in the society into which they have been born."

Lessons from Asia By the Doctor's reference to Pere Lebbe we are reminded once again of the far-reaching impact which any man may make who dedicates himself wholeheartedly to a great idea.

Pere Lebbe was a Belgian Vincentian who reached China in the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion and who applied the principle of adaptation to his personal life during a period when such a philosophy among

thesis among the missionaries to Asia. St, Francis Xavier had em­ ployed the principle of accom­ modation with brilliant success; as had Robert de Nobili in India and Matteo Ricci in China.

De Nobili, nephew of Cardinal Bellarmine and a relative of Pope Julius III, was sent to India fly. his Jesuit superiors in 1605. Latourette describes the tremendous handicaps of Chris­ tianity through failure of the Europeans to give thought to India's cUlture. "Christians," he explains, "were regarded by their neighbors as Portuguese and were despised * * * .De­ Nobili recognized that some way must he found of ending the identification of Christians with Portuguese."

He proceeded toward this goal by adopting the civil and social customs of an Indian Brahmin.

He lived like an Iriclian holy man, or. saruiya'si, ·and. like all Indian guru, or teacher. Despite the hostility of practically all the Europeans, De Nobili met with success and Pope' Gregory XV by a bull of 1623 supported his efforts.

Father Matteo Ricci, S ..J., en­ tered China in 1583 as a learned mathematician from the West and by careful adaptation to their ways won acceptance among Chinese scholars. De Vaulx explains that "with his tact, learning and virtues Ricci •attracted adherents to Catholi­ cism who formed an elite able to see that it was possible to remain Chinese when one en­ tered the Mystical Body."

Church Is for All In the early years of Pere Lebbe's mission career a parish priest in Paris, Canon .Joly, wrote a book on Christianity in the Far East. It was a bitter .book which ended by saying that the missionary movement in Asia was bankrupt because of Euro­ pean pride, which could not imagine that other peoples might nee~, to be treated' on im equal footing. . .

This book stirred France and much of Europe to fury and was everywhere' condemned. Per e Lebbe recognized its unfortu­ nate maladroitness·' and took from it just. one particular line which he made his own, namely, the assertion that one of the shortcomings in the Far East was the failure to found U a proper negative clergy, complete with bishops." Pere Lebbe worked all his life to change this, quietly, respectfully, never consciously offending those who disagreed with him. His day of greatest triumph was October 28, 1926, when Pope Pius XI consecrated the first six Chinese bishops at St. Peter's in Rome.

It is most remarkable, as we have already said, that this sim­ ple, dedicated priest whose life was lived almost exclusively in China should serve as inspira­ tion to this smiling, gracious university professor of Caracas.

And Dr. Calvani's message turned principally around his plea that we of other lands out­ side Latin America should ap­ proach Latin America's peoples, particularly its lowly millions of desperately needy folk, with love and understanding.

Albany Ordinary Curbs Activities Of Franciscan ALBANY (NC) - Bishop William A. Scully of Albany says the restricting of a priest active in civil rights and politics is an "administra­ tive decision, not one of policy."

Swift Action At the risk of going too far on too little evidence, I am inclined to suspect that this woman is mentally ;ll. But just what type Itf mental illness she suffers can only be determined by a person trained in psychiatry. The pos­ sible range so far as I know, can run all the way from schizo­ phrenia to a brain tumor.

This type of withdrawal from others is characteristic of certain mental conditions. It is actually a person's method of adjusting to a situation, although in this case it is a rather irrational kind of accommodation.

You seem to indicate that this happened rather suddenly and I presume recently. Under the circumstances swift action is indicated.

Easiest Approach The easiest approach in these eases is to have the woman visit her family physician. If you mention the word psychiatrist, she may take alarm and refuse to do anything.

This is quite unfortunate but true. Despite alI the education that has been provided the pub­ lie regarding mental illness, there is still this terrible fear of psychiatry and the possible stig­ ma of mental illness, which should not exist.

Since she seems to be 'so com­ pletely withdrawn, I rather doubt that any direct approach to her will be fruitful. You will probably have to approach the matter through her husband, and, as I have already indicated, this is a highly sensitive matter.

If· you can. find out indirectly whether or not her husband has' done anything about the matter, it will be helpful. It could indeed. be that she is already under psy­ chiatric care and your intrusion . will be deeply resented.

age in hand and discuss the mat­ ter with her husband.

Begin by suggesting that you have noticed some change in her· behavior, and you wonder whether or not she may not be sick. Perhaps he will then be motivated to take her to a phy­ sician, or perhaJ)s he will ask you to do so. In either case, this is the first step.

9 So long as the notion is fos­ tered' that this is an organic con­ dition, that is, a usual type of physical illness, people generally do not become too upset. Therein rests your strategy both in the ease of the woman and her hus­ band. Once her physician has had an opportunity of examining her, he can quickly determine what else needs to be done.

Sad Affair Mental illness is a very sad affair. It affects not only the un­ fortunate person who is ill but ultimately every member of the family. It takes its toll in anxiety and fear of the other spouse and the children within the home.

But even though there are the fear and stigma associated with mental illness, it must be faced. realistically. Today we know that about one out of every 10 Amer­ icans, will spend some time in a mental institution as a patient.

It is no.thing about which an in­ dividual should suffer the em­ barrassment most do.

As a matter of fact if there is ever to be any kind of improve­ ment in the mental health of Americans, it will come about only when there is a real knowl­ edge of the symptoms of mental illness and its possible conse­ quences. A long delay in seeking treatment may only make mat­ ters worse, in fact it is likely to do so.

Following ordination, Father McCarthy was assigned to St. Paul's Parish, Taunton, and also served as chaplain to the men­ tally sick at the Taunton State Hospital.

Realizing the need of spiritual aid in the lives of the sick, Father McCarthy studied the psychological side as well as the

spiritual phase of the lives of those under his care.

So deeply interested was he, that for the last year in his work at the hospital, he was called in by the superintendent to sit in with professional people of the institution and give his views on the individuals when their prog­ ress towards recovery was dis­ cussed.

In Nov. 1934, Father McCarthy was transferred to St. Mary's Cathedral, where he served for the next 18 years until his ap­ pointment as pastor to St. Peter's Church, Dighton, in 1952.

During his assignment to the Cathedral Parish, his love and devotion to the youth, not only of the parish, but the entire city, was known by all.

Whi]e at St. Mary's, Father McCarthy was one of the organ­ izers of the Catholic League, forerunner of the. Catholic Youth Organization in the Diocese.

His interest in sports for the boys and development of good reading habits and lov.e of libra­ ries for the girls has made last­ ing impressions upon the youths who were fortunate to be asso­ ciated with him.

He organized one of the first Catholic discussion clubs for the laity in the Diocese. The men met every Monday night during the Winter in the basement of the parish school.

It was not sports for sports sake, but rather a teaching of a way of life and has seen the har­ vest in outstanding .Catholic ~oung men of today.

The reading to him, was not entertainment, but an opportu­ nity offered to young girls to learn the lives of religious and holy women and thus create an image for their own way of life.

Clothing Chairman Utilizing Father McCarthy's administrative talents and warm personality, Most Rev. Bishop James L. Connolly appointed him director of the annual Thanksgiving Clothing Drive in 1951, a job done for the last 14 years with notable accomplish­ ment. This year, over 123 tons of usable clothing, bedding and shoes were collected in the Dio­ cese for distribution to the needy overseas, particularly in South Viet Nam. Father McCarthy also served as pastor from 1956 to 1962 in St. Joseph's Parish, No. Dighton prior to his last assignment i~ Somerset. .

He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mildred L. Percy and one brother, James E. McCarthy.

Interment will be in St. Mary's Cemetery, North Attleboro.

World Decree

Continued from Page One it would be another story but since it clearly has been 80 per cent of the Coucil Fathers seem to. side in with Pope John in maintaining that the decree be pr~marily religious significance.

The battle is n()t done. Al­ though the little militant group was defeated by nearly a 10 to 1 vote, they insist that their proposal be somehow included in' the final draft. This in the past few days there have been charges and counter-charges, the rediculing of. the drafting committee, by-name accusation of individuals 01:1 ·the commission and wild interpr·etations given to casual pr. ordinary meetings of council offi~ials.

Atomic Weapons 'The absolute outlawing of all war under any and all condi­ .~ 'tions and the unconditional re­ fusal to stockpile any kind of .. nu·c 1 e·a tw e a p 0 n has been .ihought non':'iealistic·· but here too· only. by a minority.

The ·small; riot .so vociferous «roup· which· .has Archbishop Hannan of NeW Orleans as un­ official spokesman, believes it politically unwise to entirely rule out stockpiling of nuclear weapons or the use of such weapons as legitimate deflmse.· Here too obvious caution seeks to place the decree outside the political intentions of irrespon­ sible pacifists, warpower enthu­ siasts or others who might use the decree for or against "Cold War" crises. Some even think that unless there is special care, it could be interpreted as a criticism of American interven­ tion in Vietnam.

Birth Control The present· schema's views Gn Birth Control are cautiously formulated. This is so not only because the subject is naturally delicate but because the whole matter has been taken from the council and reserved to the per­ sonal intervention of the Pope~ What the Bishops are to say now, therefore, must be care­ fully arranged so that it is clear yet does not impede on the Pope's later decisions. So, the bishops must not include a final commitment and yet must say something on a subject that is so vitally important to the faith­ ful.

In commenting on the decree, the Holy Father .demanded that the Church's teaching on re­ sponsible parenthood be affirm­ ed beyond any reasonable doubt.

Thus the decree speaks of con­ jugal love as a primary pur­ pose of marriage and affirms the rights of parents to deter­ mine the size of their families.

How? This is the problem.

Officials say that the Pope has also "suggested" that the para­ graph which reaffirms the tra­ ditional teaching of the Church in this matter be strengthened by including .the specific refer­ ences to earlier papal pro­ nouncements in this matter.

By including the references to the encyclicals of Pope Pius XI (Casti connubii) and Pope Pius XII (address to obstetri­ eians) the decree will state that the rhythm method of birth control is p.ermissable when used responsibly, while all other means continue to be ruled out.

Th use of "pills" therefore would continue to be illicit for Catholics.

The only change possible ift the Church's teaching, then, w~)Uld come about o~ly on the basis of new scientific evidence Which has not yet been present . in. suffiCient degree.

Blames Red Chinese Policies in West

Nationwide Compact

OVIEDO (NC) - The exiled bishop of Amoy, China, declared here in Spain that the inflexible political policies of communist China are reactions to Western aggression in the Far East.

Bishop John Baptist Velasco, O.P., also said during a visit to his birthplace here that Red China's chieftain, Mao Tse-Tung, is a "great philosopher" although the prisoner of a myth created by the Chinese communists.

"The Chinese communists are nationalists," said Bishop Velas­ co. "They are united under com­ munism today because the West­ ern world still has all aggressive attitude toward China. Once the Western world renounces its ag­ gressiveness, China will move rapidly toward its -goals."

Object Is to Stimulate Action by States

In Improvement of Educational Field

NEW YORK (NC)-A nation­ wide "Compact for Education" has been formed to stimulate state action for the improvement of education.

Plans for the compact were drawn up at a conference of governors and their representa­ tives in Kansas City, Mo. Initial expense.s of the group will be met by $150,000 grants from Carnegie Corporation /of New York and the Danforth Founda­ tion in St. Louis, Mo. Until the compa~t is officially established-when it is approved by the legislatures of 10 states­ an interim· planning, develop­

ment and steering committee will direct its affairs. Among those named to the 29-member interim committee is Msgr.

Felix Pitt, executive· secretary of the school board of Louisville, Ky\ .

Administrative' .arm of the compact will be the Educational Commission of the States, made up of seven representatives from each state. It will meet annually to discuss major problems of public education, serve as a forum for all educational inter­ ests in the planning and devel­ opment of educational, policy in the states, and propose specific studies in the field of education.
