Motu Proprio (Letter issued by the Pope's will) was read, granting to the world's Bishops eertain powers which hitherto

they had been required to peti­ tion the A p 0 s t 0 1 i c See for through the Vatican Curia.

The Pope's impending visit to the Holy Land will be the first time that a Pontiff has set foot in that place since the time of St. Peter; the first Pope, who left the Holy Land for Rome. It will be the first time in 159 years that a Pope has left Italian soil.

Yesterday morning, after the Pope had assisted at Mass with Council Fathers, observers, and members of the diplomatic corps, the decree on Liturgical Reform

Ordain' North Easton Man In Eternal City Dec. 18 Rev. Mr. Peter F. Mullen of North Easton, who has been studying at the North American College in Rome, will be ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Fall River at the Church of Christ the King in Rome by the Most Rev. Martin J. O'Connor on . .

Wednesday Dec. 18 next. The ordmandus, the fIrst , from the North Easton com­ munity to join the priesthood in a half-century, is the son of James D. and Dorothy (Buck) Mullen of 167 Center Street, North Easton.

Archbishop O'Connor is the rector of the pontifical North American College and titular Archbishop of Laodicea in Syria.

Rev. Mr. Mullen, who was born on Jan. 14, 1938, was grad­ uated from Msgr. Coyle High School in Taunton in 1956. He then attended Cardinal O'Con­ nell seminary in Jamaica Plain and St. John's Seminary in Boston before he went to Rome to complete his studies.

Rev. Mr. Mullen, brother of James p. Mullen Jr and Mrs. Oscar" (Dorothy) Conceison, both of North Easton, will celebrate hie first private Mass in the chapel of the Notre Dame School in Rome. He will celebrate h~ first public Mass when he re­ turns to this country in eithftJ' or. Jul7.

was read to the Council Fatbel'l who approved it overwhelming­ ly by a vote of 2,147 to 4. The Pope immediately promulgated the decree. The decree on Com­ munications was then read which was approved by the Council in a 1,960 to 164 vote.

Pope Paul then promulgated that decree.

In his closing address to the Fathers, the Pope reminded Turn to Page Four

Greater Fall River Area for the proposed Jesuit staffed High School for BOYB. Ten additional parishes joined the select group surpassing their quotas at Tuesday night's re­ port meeting.

The new quota-reaching par­ ishes are: St. Mary's Cathedral, Holy Cross, Holy Name, Sacred Heart, St. Anthony of Padua.

Also St. Jean the Baptiste, St. Joseph, St. Michael, St. John of God, Somerset, and St. Patrick, Somerset.

The highest parish total was reached when Holy Name Par­ ish, Fall River, reported $32,840 to bring their total to $210,650.

It was announced at the meet­ ing that although Tuesday was the night for the last formal re­ ports meeting, Headquarters will keep the books open until next Tuesday.

This decision was made be­ cause the weekend of President Kennedy's death was a period of bereavement and no visitations were made to homes by the solicitors.

The reported amount at the meeting was $2,063,647. This total will increase as all par­ ishes make a report by next Tuesday. Many parishes are close to their quota and this Turn to Page Seventeen

A Credit to All

Unity of All Christians Is I(ey

To Second Vati~an Council

By Rev. Edward J. Mitchell As the curtain is about to ring down on the second ses­ sion of Vatican Council II, the bishops are pushing hard to wind up the subject presently under discussion: the unity of all Christians.

The Co u nc il Fat her s feel that this is one of the key is­ sues of the whole Council.

Their reasoning is easy to fol­ low: the splin­ tery divisions of Christianity are a scandal to those outside Christendom and a sore contra­ diction to the prayer of Christ that "they all may be one." The Council must address itself to this problem, and with the grace of God, solve it, While the bishops are careful to point out that the Catholic Church has all the essential marks of unity (one faith, one worship, one authority), they quickly stress that a complete unity will not be had until all men are bonded together as brothera in the one Body of Christ

One would imagine that with all the denominational fireworks of the past four centuries, that this revolutionary draft on ecumenism would have met stiff opposition. But quite the con­ trary is true. If the schema had opened on Broadway instead of St. Peter's, it could not have received better notices. "This present schema ia welcomed"

Council Fathers Return to Rome Next Sept. 14

By Rev. John R. FoIster On Monday, at noon, the Bishops gathered in Rome for the Second Session of the Vatican Council left the chamber for the last time. Oh, they would return twice more but only for ceremonial meet­ ings.

It might have been expected that the Fathers would joyfully leave the basilica like school­ children 'beginning a vacation.

No, a Vatican commentator described the scene as a "flow of tired workers coming out of TurJ1to Page Six

with joy," beamed Archbishop John Heenan of England. Said a Mexican bishop, "The schema ~ the finest gift the Council can make to the Church."

Even the Protestant and Or­ thodox observers bristled with hope -over the progressive tones of the present schema. Confided Dr. Lukas Vischer, an official observer for the World Council of Churches, "Whatever happena here will have important conse­ quences for the members of the World Council of Churches. Now all of us will have to face the problem of how to enter into closer relations with the Roman Catholic Church."

Actually, many of the roots of the ecumenical movement can be traced to a non-Catholic de­ sire for religious unity. Two early manifestations of this were the English Faith and Order movement and the Swedish Life and Work movement, Both of these organized trends towards unity arose around the turn of the century - and both of them have found an important place in the W 0 rid Co u neil of Churches.

The Cat hoI i c ecumenical movement, for a long time based solely on prayer for reunion and an invitation to return to the father's home, was given its bigTurn to Page Fifteen

The conference was sponsored by four major campus religious organizations: the National Fed_ eration of Catholic College Students, organized on Catholic campuses; the National Newman Club Federation, serving Cath­ olics at other-than-Catholic in­ stitutions; the National Student Christian Federation, represent­ ing Protestant groups on college campuses; and the B'nai B'ritll Hillel Foundations, organized for Jewish students.

A summary statement issued after the assembly committed the students to recruitment of Negroes for higher education.

It said the collegians discussed recruitment and admission poli.. cies, discrimination in fraternity end sorority life, the policies of

A major emphasis of the ses­ , sion, according to the summary, was to have interfaith campus groups establish relationships with existing civil rights move­ ments such as the National Asso_ ciation for the Advancement of Colored People -.nd·the Congress of Racial Equality.

In addition, the students were urged to organize community support for civil rights action.

sound information and greet each other with unlimited good will," he said. _ High Praise He praised highly the state­ ment on Jewish-Christian rela­ tions that has been submitted to the ecumenical council and said it has three points of "paramount importance." .

-Its stress on the "common heritage" of Jews and Christians.

-Its treatment of "the prob­ lem of deicide," in which it places resJ;lonsibility for Christ's death on all mankInd. -Its appeal for "mutual un­ derstanding and esteem" among Christians and Jews. .

Lichten said "action for the common good" must be the key­ note and focal point - of Chris­ tian-Jewish "dialogue." ""Those who fulfill their com­ mon devotion to the one God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by coming better to know each other, in their agreements and differences, can help not only one another but the entire world in many issues of practical con­ cern," he said.

Puerto Rico has turned down a bid to join the Christian Action Party here.

The Protestant asSociation un­ animously adopted a resolution against formation of a specifi­ cally "Christian" party, saying it preferred that Christians work within the framework of existing parties.

The Christian Action Party, . which hopes to get on the 1964 ballot here, is an outgrowth of a 1960 dispute between the ad­ ministration and the Catholic Bishops. The party professes to be determined to restore "Chris­ tian moral principles to every aspect of public life."

Freedom "for Everyone Boston College Professor. Includes Parents.

Of Religious School Students CLEVELAND (NC) - Equal rights for the Negro and" the right of private schools to an equal share. of the tax dollar were among topics discussed at the 17th annual conference· of the National Association of In­ tergroup ReI a t ion s Officials (NAIRO). .

Father William J. Kenealy, 8.J., professor of law at Boston College, called for complete" freedom of religion for every­ one including parents Who prefer a religious education for their l!hildren.

Whitney Young, executive di­ rector, National Urban League, warned. that in many" instances the soc·i a I, educational and economic gap between Negro and white citizens is widening.

Alexander J. Allen, NAIRO

president - elect and U I' ban League executive director for Greater New York, said the Negro revolution will not end with the marches and demon­ strations of 1963 but will con­ tinue until differences in family income based on race are elimi­ nated. .

Father Kenealy, speaking in a panel on "Church-State, and the Supreme Court," said he agreed with the U.S. high court's rulings against prayer in public schools.

Government should not in­ fringe on the individual's right to choose freedom from religion, the priest said.

But the other side of the coin "demands im end to discrimina­ tion against parents who in con­ science feel compelled to provide a religious education for their children,· he added.

"It is fair to tell those reli­ gious parents - whether Catho­ lic or Protestant - that they "may have free exercise of reli­ gion only if they pay an econo­ mic penalty in taxes to support a secular school system to which they cannot, in conscience, send their own childr.en?" he asked" "Would it not be fairer to

have an equal· distribution of

taxes; to pay the tax dollar to the school freely chosen by a child's parent?"

"No matter wh~t you call this appeal for equal distribution of

school taxes - it still remains a demand fur justice," Father Kenealy said.

dren there would be less need for community child services.

"If' everybody did a bang-up job of raising their own children, we wouldn't have to spend so much energy on community pro­ jects," said Dr. Herbert Ratner, Public Health Commissioner in Oak Park, Ill. Dr. . Ratner, addressing. the Iowa Catholic Charities c.onfer­ ence, spoke harshly of the doc­ trine of the "liberated". woman; "We'ye developed the thesW.s. that woman has to be liberated:." he said. "In many middle al"d upper class communities,· the woman has been given the

feeling that she shouldn't 1.:e

He disputed this theory al,d said it leads to women spendit4 time on community projeC'.•s while leaving their children "n the hands of less educated, less loving people."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Dec. 5, 1963

School and God - Again The public school system of the City of Providence gives to every new teacher a statement of philosophy which contains the sentence: "In substance, the goal of education is an educated person, one who is aware of his duties to God and his kinship with his fellow men."

That seems like an acceptable enough statement.

But it has been attacked by the Rhode Island Humanist Association as a violation of the Constitution of the United States. The Association bases its objection on the Supreme Court anti-prayer decision.

The Association, citing the Supreme Court's ban on Bible-reading, the recitation of the Lord's Prayer, and other religious devotions, also objects to silent prayer as circumventing the court decisions.

All this is to be expected. And the wonder is that the Justices of the Supreme Court who went along with the prayer ban did not foresee that just such an objection would be raised. The conclusion that some would draw from their decision would be the outlawing of God and everything pertaining to Him from public life in the country.

Perhaps this is not what they intended. If that is so, they have some work ahead of them, reviewing the whole matter of the place of God in public life, or else a single fastidious atheist will bend the entire country to his own will and beliefs - or lack of them.

Chief Justice Warren spoke feelingly just a few days ago of the forces that would disrupt this country. Can he expect violence and hatred to subside without an appeal to God and the moral law of God? No matter what anyone may say about the home and Church having the duty to inculcate belief in God into a person, if a child is subjected to an educational process wherein God is never mentioned, he cannot help but con­ clude that amid all the important values school is giving him, God need not be considered one of them.

The Supreme Court Justices must face the issue of the place of God in public life. The founding ideals of America and the beliefs of the vast majority of its people must not be allowed to be frustrated by an atheist.

It is good that the Supreme Court is concerned for the rights of a minority. But the majority also has rights which are in no less need of preservation and defense.

Essential Basis It was inspiring the hear President Johnson appeal to the American people for racial justice and tolerance because "God made all of us, not some of us, to His image. All of us, not just some of us, are His children."

This appeal for brotherly love was placed on its essen­ tial basis - the Fatherhood of God, the common brother­ hood of all men as children of the one Father.

It is sad to consider that such a statement, coming from the late President Kennedy, would have been viewed -by some as the spectre of a Catholic President preaching Catholic doctrine.

Perhaps people will begin to understand, a little more clearly, that many of the beliefs that they hold are held in common with their fellow Catholics, that many of the beliefs of Catholics and Protestants and Jews are beliefs that bind and not divide. .

Americans would do well to take to heart the words of the President, and to ask their consciences to accept the truth of the appeal, to accept all men as their brothers because all were made by God in His image.

This may be asking a great deal of those who have been brought up with the prejudice that Negroes are somehow essentially inferior. Such a prejudice is to be found in those living in the North as well as in South.

But truth does not change. So they are the one who must change.

Besides, it was· not the end of anything. The council will continue, not only as of Sept.

14th next. The inter-session will be particularly active with fre­ quent meetings of the commis­ sions, reports of individual bish­ ops' observations of the schema not yet treated (in by Jan. 31st) and their thoughts of the two last chapters of the Ecumenical Schema (in by mid-Feb.) all to be sent to Rome and processed so that the third session will be off to a flying start.

Bishop Sauvage of Annecy, France, said at the end of this session he· was left with four distinct impressions: (1) the bishops were truly tired and are sad that they did not accomplish an they would have liked; (2) they are encouraged in that they will have something concrete to show for their work with the promulgation of the Constitution on the Liturgy and the Decree of Communications; (3) they are spurred on by the work to be done - cooperation with com­ missions, reports to be sent in and the promulgated results to be put into effect; (4) they are happy with the universal rep­ resentation in the council as ex­ pressed in the last elections to the commissions.

He was answered bitterly -by Abbot Butler who "expressed surprise at the sentiments of our Australian colleague." al do not know whether the- hi&1;ory of the events of the 16th Century have yet reached Australia" he queried. A simple reference to our history books would :;how that "there is a need for confes­ sion of sins· * • and the Pope'. words are to be taken in their literal and true meaning."

Cardinal Ruffini clouded the issue more by attempting to prove that any faults involved were those of the separated brethren (who so reacted to the faults of Catholics, not by con­ soling the- Churclt, their M'JUier," but by abandaning her.)

Soviets Discover 'Illegal' Religious Houses in Lvov BERLIN (NC) - Soviet authorities discovered that several Roman Catholic re­ ligious orders were operating "'illegany" in Lvov, a city in the Ukraine, when they seized 3,000 contraband crucifixes, the Soviet weekly magazine Ogon. yok has reported.

An article in the magazine said that a woman from Lvov, returning from visiting relatives abroad, "was detained on the Soviet border with a package of religious literature and religious accessories which she tried to smuggle into the Soviet Union."

The magazine said that in the woman's luggage was a notebook "with the addresses of various clandestine Catholic religious communities in the Ukranian city of Lvov'" They were iden­ tified as the "Order of St. Vin­ cent,,,. the "Servants- at the Vir­ gin" Mary,... and the Basilian Order.

It was thoug)lt that the com­ mon possession of_ tile Euc:h.arist and Apostolic mccession should be emphasized instead of pB¥ing great attention to what divides

Superior Mell ed Principal Sister Mary sian.Urban, R.S.M., with the plea that a chef's course be offered to male students. ''But," replied Sister Mary Urban, "None of the dIocesan sehools, have such a course!"

"Well, how about chalking 'up another 'first' for Feehan with a chef's course," persisted the boys who over the past two years have developed an almost un­ believable pride in the area's first Catholic co - educational hIghschool. ''You've told us over and over again: 'If you have any problems, and suggestions that will stimulate YOQ into seeking knowledge in broader fields, don't hesitate to talk-them out.' " Sister recalled the many pep talks in which she had urged the more than GOO students that make up the freshman, sopho­ more and junior claSllell (the first lIeDior class, will be established &ext Fall) to talk over their, aspirations with members. of the staff. "I couldn't let these boys down; there was' only one thing: for me ta do - appraach the dio~ eesan curriculum advisers."

Enceurac:e Vocations

Feehatt High indeed has the teacher, Sister Mary Katari, R.S.M. And the facilities! They make any homemaker envious.

Elective COline At one end of the 1al'ge home economics room are essentials for a complete dressmaker's COW'Se. At the other etu4 the spat the boys-had been eyeing for two years, are two kitchen units - each with a double stainless steel sink, formica work area, electric range, re­ frigerator, cabinets filled with pots and pans, china and silver­ ware, and a cupboard, well stocked with staple foods.

Before the program got un­ der way, the boys were- warned: "This is an elective course ­ one daily period instead of yaur studY per i 0 d.

On a recent visit to the school, the Most Rev. Bishop .Tames L. Connolly met the future chefs, learned that every day they pride themselves on preparing something special for tIle prin­ cipal's lunch. His parting words were: "We'll see how much you've learned at the end of 40 weeks. At the end of the year," plan and prepare a meal, and I'll be here to eat it."

These boys started out with the premise that: given a chance, men are superior in the cooking field. They are well on their way to proving it to be so.

Goodie·s From Kitchen .Make " Easy-on-Pocketbook Gifts

By Mary Tinley Daly'

For more than a month now, we have been exhorted via newspaper, radio, television, gift booklets, to "Hurry, Hurry! Come and buy!" "We" (whoever be the would-be merchandiser) "have something for everybody on your Christmas list."

Until now, wi th Advent well-established, .we awake with a start to the fect that Christ­ mas is almost bere.. Aa \lSUal, we are no more prepared for it than we were last year, or the year 'before, or the year before that.

One innovation we made last ;rear at our house, and that worked, will be repeated this Christma. of 1963, bringing financial and nervous relief to adults, young arid not-so-young.

This was, and is, the rule: "No present exchan.ging 'between adults except very immediate 1amily, Le., husbands and wives."

FaD of Buying ChristmaS rorchildren can be a, most satisfying theme song when carried out, making shop­ ping and Christmas giving a real pleasure. Of course, when grand­ ma cuts loose in a toy store or In tire child'1'en's and babies' clothing department, especially when she has her charge-a­ plate witbher, there is every . indication that grandpa's Janu­ ary bills have to be handed 'to him piecemeal and when he Is in a very good mood. Oh, well, be that as it may, it's in the fu­ ture and, like Scarlett O'Hara. why worry about the future?

Meanwhile, there is the :fUn of buying and sewing for those 14 grandchildren, reveling in the dolls that every' year seem to talk more, even laugh and cry, in the new space toys for little boys. After all, we tell our_ .elves, we're not givinl to ~ults, so··· Of course there aN goodie. from the' kitchen, from· theiN and' from ours, but 'these don't count, not at any rate, as fore­ head - wrinkling, pocketbook pinching "presents.­ This year, added to the old favorites we found some new goodies, 'found 1.'bem in. 1hat cookbook we were working on some time back, remember?

To the extent that the writin.gs of so-called "child experts" give parents useful insights and in­ formation, it is good. To the e:1t­ tent that such writers intin:u­ elate and confuse parents and sap their confidence, they do ,a di... a!l'Vice.

I agree that common aense parents are best, but the VU7 Idea of common sense implies a person who studies a problem and comes up with clear, reason­ able 801utiODI. Common .eMe requires knowledge and the 8.b1­ Uty to put that knowledge to work.

There are thousands of PIQr­ ents, man,. of. them fine pea.ple, not shifUesa, ill-intentioned, or lacking in love who find thl9­ .elves confronted with a child aged 14 and can only aay "I clon't know what's gotten :lnto him. I can't do a thing with bun.

'NeedJI' and 'WaDis" "He haa no re~pect for 'people, . property, policy, parents. He ia oonfused, disobedient, stubborn,··

How could such a thing bappen? Because too often :par­ enta provide for a child'a too obvious or expressed desires and Deeds, but not for his inar1;icu­ late deep psychological and ~iritual needs. This is where the psychologist'can help us. He can lead us to understand how a per­ IIOnality works.

Take the matter of needs>, for instance. Remember "needs" are not "wants". I may want a new car or a trip to Europe, but I don't absolutely have to have them. Needs are things I must have - water, air, food, and on the psychological level, security, authority, discipline, freedom, l!ecognition, and a dozen others.

is the primary and most impor­ tant t h i n g that psychology teaches. Everything the young· child thinlu, feels, and does has

a cause.

Complex of Man,.

Not a single cause: "Junior was scared by a toy tiger when he was three. Now be hates ladies in striped dresses," but a complex of many causes that are woven into the daily environ­ ment of the chfid.

Does Waldo steal? It's not be­ cause he read Robin Hood when he was eight. Does Elsie have a severe case of scrupulosity?

Better see if she has an over-· bearing father rather than guess she .hal a religious vocation..

Has the child been left neg­ lected too long or too often? Has he frequenUy been scolded ~r a trifling misdeed when Daddy was in a bad mood? Has an in­ secure mother demanded of him, supposedly in jest,. "now who do you love more, tnODUll1' or daddy?"

Help Us Undersiancl .

All ot these factol'll go into making a person. PsycbologiN can help ua understand and chart a coone. The,. tell us, for in­ stance, that a child NEEDS security.

We all know that in general, but the psychologist tells us what it means and how it works. security b freedom from anxi­ ous fear. Some fears are good.

They keep us from stepping in front of trucks, or send Us to a doctor when we have pain~ But anxiops f.ear is just a continued general feeling that things are not right. It's a gnawing worry.

Do people want me around?

Do they like me? Do they lmow how bad I am? ,Will I succeed if they ask me to do something?

It ; ~ this kind of fear that con­ sumes much of" the child's ner­ vous <energy in· simply pro­ tecting himself: Knowing this as a possibilitY can help make better parents.

Common Sense Adequate Understand, the parent does not have to be a master psycho­ logist. His good instincts and common sense, if real, are more than adequate.

And a final word of reas­ surance. Remember children do have a free will and share in original sin. No matter how per_ fect a paren.t you are, you are going to have some trouble with your children., You will make mistakes an4 they will still llUl'­ vive and ,thriVe. ·As one .~ put it: "Your :firatmistake a bringing thebl;\b.,. home fl'QJ1l the h08Pital at an."

Election of,Catholic Was'TLlrning Point Protestant Council Honored President Kennedy

t

WASHINGTON (NCo) - "I do not intend - - - to disavow either my views or my Church in order to win this election."

John Fitzgerald Ken ned y, Democratic candidate for the presidency, made this statement on Sept. 12, 1960, to a group of Hous~on, Tex., ministers~ Over the next three years as Chief Executive he proved as good as his word.

John Kennedy set many pre­ cedents in the White House, but among the most remarkable was the mere fact that he, a Catholic, was there at all.

Mr. Kennedy was' elected President, the first Catholic to be so honored, by 113,000 votes, . one of the slimmest margins in history.

His religion played a major role in the closeness of the elec­ tion. A University of Michigan research study concluded that it, cost him a net loss of 1.5 million votes. . But during his three years in office he largely succeeded in calming anxieties and healing animosities stirred by the fact that he was a Catholic.

How far Mr. Kennedy helped car r y interreligious under-' standing in this country was un­ derscored only two weeks before his death" when the Protestant Council of New York City pre­ sented hi~ its annual Distin­ guished Service Award - the first time a Catholic layman had received this honor.

Historic Breakthrough The Protestant Council hailed the occasion as "a historic break­ through" in interreligious rela­ tions in the United States. There were many who would apply the same description to the entire Kennedy presidency.

Before 1960 the election of a Catholic as President of the United States had wid~ been considered all but impossible.

Cited as proof was the 1928 cam­ paign in which New York Gov. Al Smith, a Catholic. was swamped.

Mr: Kennedy's religion became an issue long before his nomina­ tion. As early as 1956 it played • role in the maneuvering that accompanied his unsuccessful bid for the No. 2 spot on the Democratic ticket as running­ mate with Adlai E. Stevenson.

In 1960 the so-call~d religious issue was a focal J.~ _:.' ~ of boililli:

controversy, despite efforts by Mr. Kennedy and his Republi­ can opponent, Richard M. Nixon, to prevent its becoming- so.

One of the crucial moments of the religious issue came in Texas, where a little more than three years later Mr. Kennedy was to lose his life.

On Sept. 12, the candidate addressed the Houston Minis­ terial Association in an effort to answer doubts on: the score of his religion..

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 5, 1963

Council Fathers Present to World Catholic View of Ecumenism Continued from Page One gest boost by Pope John, espe­ cially in his calling of the Second Vatican Council.

Recalling that spirit of Pope John and the directive of Pope Paul to open every possible way to unity, Paul Emile Cardinal Leger this week stressed that "our feelings towards our sepa­ rated brethren must not be mere sentimental generosity, but they must be based on the inspira­ tion of the Gospel and proceed from the Holy Spirit. Although it is difficult to work ourselves roose from the weight of history, we should not for this be fright­ ened of the difficulties of the task."

Three steps One Council Father noted that three steps exist for Catholics on the road to full unity with their separated brethren: first, char­ ity; second, dialogue or conver­ sation of a religious nature; and third, internal renewal within the Church itself to render the liturgy more meaningful, Church institutions more modern, and the life of the faithful more fervent.

A separate treatment is given in the draft to our relationship with the Orthodox Churches" whose ties of faith and sacra­ mental life are much closer to us. The special status of their Churches, their mentality a~<J1 history, their liturgical and spiritual tradition - all these, are given a top-priority treat­ ment in chapter three of thE! schema.

But the relationship of the Catholic Church to the Protes·· tant communities is also spelled out in detail. Their baptism in Christ, their confession of Christ, and their love for the revealed Word of God are all bonds which draw them close to us, and there­ fore close to unity.

Regarding the quest for fuU unity, the schema gets down to some practical SUggestions for the average Catholic to follow: "Every Catholic should refrain from any words, judgments or 'actions which falsely or unjustly represent the real status of our separated brethren. TogethE~r with them, Catholics should seek carefully to discover practical means for coming to know ea<:h other better, to respect and help one another and by prayer and eooperation, to carry out more faithfully the will of Christ."

Will of God Many of the bishops have noted that the ecumenical sear·ch for Christian unity is clearly the will of God. But when asked for a d e fin i t ion of ecumenism.

Father Gustave Weigel, S.J., professor of e c c I e s i 0 log y at Woodstock College, Md., and a council expert, said, "You can't grab the wind as it passes by ­ and in this case the wind is that of the Holy Spirit."

Two controversial points in the schema are chapters four and five. Chapter four deals with :re­ ligious freedom, and chapter five treats of our relationship to the Jews. Of all the issues that the Protestant observers hoped to see settled at the Council, that of religious freedom was upper­ most in their minds. But since time is running out, this ques­ tion will probably not arise un­ til the Council meets again on September 14 of next year. Sur­ prizingly, the observers are not phased by this delay; they would much rather see a full treatment to the chapter on Protestants and Orthodox presently under dis­ cussion than a summary handling of this question in order to rush along to the religious lib­ e.t'ty question.

Cardinal Bea, the head of the Secretariate for Pro mot l n g Christian Unity, is fighting hard to see the question of the rela­ tionahip of tbe Jews to the Cath­

olic Church discussed in fhis schema. His reasoning for their inclusion here is that just as the Jews were the chosen people of God of the Old Testament, we now are his chosen people of the New Covenant.

Name Seven Americans Gregory Baum puts it this way: "The schism that divided the Jews over the Person of Christ is the symbol of the schisms that ever since have di­ vided Christianity."

However, there are strong cur­ rents in the Council hall for ex­ cluding the Jews from discus­ sion in this draft. The issue will no doubt be put to a final vote.

At week's end, Pope Paul's order to expand the size of the 12 commissions to 30 members each brought glances of surprise and pleasure when the results were announced 'on Friday. The reason was evident: the progres­ sive prelates appeared to have gained considerable strength on the commission. Seven Ameri­ can bishops were voted onto these important drafting com­ missions.

The commissions will work during the nine-month interval revising Council documents and incorporating amendments sug­ gested during Council debate in the past two months. Bishop Primeau of Manchester, N.H., was one of the seven American bishops voted into power. Bishop Primeau will work on the key Ecumenical Commission.

In our column next week we shall attempt a summary of the fruits of this second session of the Council. The critics of the Second Vatican Council may easily dismiss the labors that have been going on here with a flourish of their pen.

But what has been done here in these days will live on as a monument to- the men who worked here. The Second Vati­ can Council has truly been a turning-point in the history of the Church.

Sees Christian Basis UN General Assembly Head Says Current Trends Fundamental to Doctrine

NEW YORK (NC) - The president of the United Nations General Assembly said here that many of the major trends of the modern world are fundamental to Christian social doctrine.

"We must * * * not be afraid or concerned at the development of ideas in our century," said Carlos Sosa Rodriguez of Vene­ zuela.

"Living together in peace, the disappearance of colonialism and of racial segregation, interna­ tional cooperation for the econo­ mic and social development of the underdeveloped countries, are all ideas which in one form or another have always been fun dam e n t a I to Christian thinking," Sosa said.

He expressed "cautious opti­ mism" about prospects for world peace in the wake of the signing of the limited nuclear test ban treaty. But at the same time he cautioned against "exaggerated and ignorant illusions about the realities of the world in which we live."

"We face serious problems, and in the steps which we take to solve them gradually we shall need all our vigilance, all our faith in the Christian principles in which we were brought up, all our belief in the democratic and free forms of _government."

Sosa said..

Publicizing Smut DETROIT (NC) - Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh said here that foes of obscenity should stop publicizing dirty books and movies by constantly condemning them. "Instead of giving free advertising by ban­ ning a book or thundering against a movie or magazine, let us proclaim the merits of good books and good movies," Cav­ anagh urged the Metropolitan Detroit Council on Better Liter­ ature.

a letter smuggled out of Russia and addressed to the Orthodox Patriarchs of Jerusalem, Antioch and Constantinople.

The letter, couched in simple language, gives a portrait of day­ by-day harassment of practicing Christians by the totalitarian and officially atheistic state.

It tells of the closing of churches and monasteries; of aged m 0 n k s imprisoned or turned into vagrants; of parents arrested in their homes for rearing their children as Chris­ tians; of public mockery of holy things; of trumped up charges against devout religious, and of collaboration by many Orthodox clergymen with their church's, oppressors.

The 4,000.- word document written, perhaps, sometime afte: Aug. 6, 1963 - the latest date it mentioned - was addressed to the Orthodox Partiarchs by persons designating themselves "parishioners and pilgrims of the Orthodox Churches throughout Russia."

Antichrist in Russia Smuggled out of the Soviet Union, the letter reached its in- ' tended destination and copies were sent to the New York of­ fices of the World Council of Churches.

The letter, an appeal for as­ sistance from non-Russian pat­ riarchs, documents its charges with names and places, but these were omitted in publicity re­ leases to protest the writers and the Chrlstian communities they represent.

"Since 1959," the letter states, "the Antichrist in Russia has been persecuting the Orthodox Church dreadfully.n

Ch·urch Needs Ameri!'an

Bishops' Organizing Skill

By Rev. Andrew M. Greeley One of the comments frequently heard about the !econd Vatican Council is that the American Bishops are not speaking as much as they might because they are "administrators and not theologians." Without attempting in discuss whether, in fact, United States. It is further worth the American Bishops are noting that the various revivals not speaking out (since the sweeping through Europe, have press reports would indicate not yet reclaimed the workin~

-

that they are, in fact, speaking more frequently, and with con­ siderable vigor) • word should be said about the disparaging implications in the charge that til e Americans .-e"administra­ tors and no' !theologians." It is probably true that in the American hier­ ~chy there is a· smaller proportion of profession­ • theologians than in the European hierarchy; for a vast variety of historical reasons the United States is only now begin­ Ding t() produce theological ecll()lars in considerable num­ bers.

Favors- Administrator It is al.9o unquestionably true 4bat the ideal bishop w9\Jld mare in the talents of both the 4Ileologian and the administrator.

However, it seems to me (and Chu is probably a typically American bias) that if one has to choose between a theologian _d an administrator. then the Choice must be clearly in favor 01. the latter.

A bishop who is not a profes­ .&onal theologian can find some­ one to do his theologizing for bim, because the really good ad­ ministrator recognizes the need 6n theory and 'is always looking tor someone to provide it for him.

On the other l!and, there is aothing in the experience of a CheolQgian which will either qualify him as an administrator or even enable him to unEler­ lItand the need for competent administration.

Administrative Chaos Thus one hears from Europe tb1lt the dioceses of some of the most brilliant episcopal theolo­ lians are in administrative chaos and that the wonderful theories are not filtering oown to the p-ass roots levels.

Indeed, part of the reason fQr

the current theological revival iD Europe is the fact that be­ _use of administrative ineffi­ eiency (and other reasons too) the Church has lost contact with the working class.

It is worth noting that f@r all our presumed theolQgical na­ ievete this did not happen in the

Cautions on School Christmas Programs MORRISTOWN (NC) - The MQrris County, New Jersey, superintendent of schools has sounded a cautionary note on the type of musical Christmas pro­ grams presented in the county's public schools.

Leslie Rear- said in a bulletin to the county's 41 district ad­ ministrators: "Music programs h1 the public sch<>ols should

rather than identification with a particular creed, sect or church."

Asking that districts present their programs with "tolerance and objectivity," he added that "we cannot take from children everything that is part of their __ 'IL-

class-or come anywhere near it.

Much to Learn It is not my purpose in this column to "defend" American bishops; nor do I intend to deny the importance of ideas, espe­ cially theological Ones.

Quite clearly the American Church has much to learn from Europe about a theology that is relevant to the problems of the modern world. But just as clear_ ly, we do not come to such a confrontation with empty hands.

The European Church has much to learn from us about efficient administration. This is not to say that we have always been impressively efficient; we have made all kinds of mistakes and will probably continue to do so.

However, in comparison with Our European colleagues our ef­ ficiency must be rated high in­ deed. As a matter of fact, a case could be made for the argument that if the ideas of the Johanine and Pauline aggiornamento are ever to be rescued from the world of pure tl1eory, the Qrgan­ izational skills of Americans are going to be essential.

'Vital Catholics'

In many respects American

Catholicism suffers by compar_

ison with European Catholicism;

but in many respects it does not.

I for one have no patience for

those who argue that American

Catholics may go to Church. but

do not practice a "vital Catholi­

cism" in comparison with Eu­

rope.

Perhaps, but at least they go to Church; and it is by no means certain that fQr all the brilliant theorizing coming out of Europe there are very many more "vital Catholics" on that conti­ nent.

Comparisons are unfair be­ cause the histories of b()th Churches are so very different.

American Cathoilcs have Htlle reason for complacency; neither is there much grounds fae an inferiority complex.

Attempt to Block Sunday Law Fails ST. LOUIS (NC) - Sunday sales of major items was stoppelt under a new state law despite a last minute attempt by a drug store chain to block enforcement of the law.

The chain had received an in­ junction from a circuit court judge that would have restrained enforcement of the law, but Atty. Gen. Thomas F. Eagletoll countered with a writ of prohi­ bition from the state Supreme Court which blocked the re­ straining order.

The new law replaces a 137­ year-old one held to be uncon­ stitutional because of its vague­ ness. Among items banned from Sunday sales by the new law are automobiles, clothing, furni­ ture, appliances and housewares.

President Johnson Asks Quick Civil Rights Action

WASHINGTON (NC)·-President Johnson laid heavy stress on the importance of a civil rights law in his address to a joint session of Congress. "No memorial oration or eulogy could more elequently honor President Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil fight on poverty and disease in rights "bill for wh!ch lle ot~; e ~~ n t Johnson'. first fought, the new ChIef Ex- words were: "All I have I would ecutive said. "We h~ve talked long enough in thIS country about equal rights," he continued. "We have talked for 100 yearB or more. It is time now to write the next chapter - and to write it in the books of law. ''1 urge you again, as I did in 1957 and again in 1960, to enact a civil rights law so that we can move forward to eliminate from this nation every trace of discrimination and oppression that is based upon race or color.

There could be no greater souree of strength to this nation both at home or abroad."

The new President also: Paid high tribute to the late President Kennedy.

Referring then to "the' late President Kennedy, he said: ''The greatest leader of our time has been struck down by the foulest deed of our time."

End'Extermism "No words are sad enough to express our sense of loss" he stated. "No words are strOng enough to express our deter­ mination to continue the for­ ward thrust of America that he began."

In calling for an end to politi­ cal extremism, President Johnson said: "The time has come for Americans of all races and creeds and political beliefs to understand and to respect one another. Let us put an end to the teaching and preaching of hate and evil and violence Let 111 turn away from the fa~tics of the far left and the far right from the apostles of bittern~ and bigotry, from those defiant of law, and those who pour venom into our nation's blood stream."

Catholic College Overflow Crowd Gives Ovation to Billy Graham BEL M 0 N"T (N C) - H e preached the gospel according to Graham, but it lIOunded III if Evangelist Billy Graham 'were using a Catholic translation of Holy Scripture for hi. text.

The renowned crusader won a standing ovation from' 2 000 priests, nuns, and laymen for' his first address ever on a Catholic college campus.

Before the overflow crowd in Belmont Abbey College gymna­ sium here in North Carolina Billy Graham called for Chris~ Uan unity; praised the Second Vatican Council and the late Pope John xxm; confesSoed he lifted some words and phrases of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen for use in his sermons; strongl~, con. demned America's secularistic trend, and underscored present day revolutions-Christian, ra­ cial, moral, political and scien­ tific.

'Great Revolution' "We have on our coins," he said, "the inscription 'In Grod we trust'; we have chaplains in our armed forces. And we have peo­ ple who seem bent on removing these things from our way of life. We must remember that God honors the nation that honors God." There is "a great revolution" now raging in Christendom be

said. '

"I don't know when it began.

Perhapa; during World War n," be continued. "I think the em­ phasis that the late Pope John brought, the Ecumenical Council of the Bishops in Rome itself-a council that has the prayers of all Christendom - herald the present Christian revolution * * • ''The emphasis in our time may be on the Holy Spirit.

Queen at Requiem THE HAGUE (NC) -- Queen Juliana of The Netherlands at­ tended a Requiem Mass for President John F. Kennedy at St. James Church here. It is unusual for the Queen to attend a Roman Catholic Mass. :For sim­ ilar occasions in the past, she hal always been represfmted by a bigh court dignitary. 'I'he royal family belongs to the Dutch Re­ formed Church.

Everywhere ~people are gather. ing-Protestants, Catholics and, yea, Jew_to pray together. I know of 114 such groups on Long Island itself. Is the Holy Spirit in our time doing aome­ thing that hi beyond any of \18?"

'Comes So CIOt'Ie' But the main portion of the Graham address was a sermon­ the personal sermon of a man dedicated to his faith a man convinced that all men ':must ac­ cept Jesus Christ as their per­ sonal Saviour."

It was only in this area that Graham strayed once from Catholic theology. He placed his emphasis on forgiveness for sin from Jesus. But in so doing he omitted the Sacrament of Pen­ ance.

Afterwards, a priest remarked: "Billy Graham comes so close to the Church. He walks up to the line, then backs away. And his theology even on this point was not totally wrong. There is, you know, perfect contrition."

The warmth, the stage pres­ ence, the dynamism of Graham enveloped his audience,' captur­ ing it for Gramam if not for his crusade.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Growth of the ecumenical spirit in the world could help speed solution of the partition problem in Ire­ land, Sean F. Lemass, Irish Prime Minister, indicated in a speech at the National Press Club here.

The Prime Minister said "the partition of our country" is a problem "never absent from our minds or from our hearts," and that his government is "encour­ aging consultations with our fellow countrymen in the North" aimed at closer cooperation on a number of matters.

"We see our task now as re· uniting the Irish people as well as reuniting Irish territory," Lemass declared. "We are en. couraged by the fact that there is already a considerable move­ ment of opinion north of the border-a movem.ent helped by world events and particularly by the developing concept of Christian unity.

'This movement is finding ex· pression in a desire to promote new contacts at every level 01.

Counties and across the border."

While the reunification of the Irish people "is seen by us u a matter for Irishmen in Ireland,"

Lemass continued, his govern­ ment would like to have a "clear statement by British political leaders that there would be no Britisl: interest in maintaining partition when Irishmen want to get rid of .it."

The Prime Minister of Ireland was here on a crowded two-day official visit, accepting an invi­ tation President Kennedy ex­ tended during his visit to Ire­ land earlier this year.

New Hampshire Ministers Opposes CCD Class in Public School

MANCHESTER (N C) - A ',Protestant minister here pro­ tested use of a public school for evening Catholic religious elasses.

Rev. William D. Goble, pastor, First Baptist church, based his protest to the Manchester School Board on United States Supreme Court decisions in 1948 and 1952.

He did not specifically name the Catholic church using Memorial High School classrooms but school superintendent John T. McDonald said the Confrater­ nity of Christian Doctrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish

is authorized to use the school.

McDonald said use of public schools for religious purposes after school hours is permissable under New Hampshire law.

Citing the 1948 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the McCollum case and the court's 1952 Zorach case decision, involving reli­ gious instruction in public school buildings, the Rev. Mr. Goble said: "Clearly, at least to me, this use of public school rooms at any time of the day is in violation of the separation of Church­ State 'contained in the first amendment."

"We praise you and thank you" for it. "It is not given to our humble person but to the Lord and it is to Him thllJt it expresses itself through acts of faith and love. It is to His Church that it expresses its firm and joyful devotion."

The Pope then turned to the subject of his blessing saying, "We would like to explain to

you what a blessing is. St. Am­ brose defines it as the votive conferring of a sanctification and of particular graces that j,s to say, an invocation ~ render holy a person or a thing and to obtain for them a special favor from God. "And this is what We intend to do for you today. We pra,.

God that He may fill you with His grace and as the AposUe (St. Paul) says that He ma,. 'grant you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in deep knowl­ edge of Him, that the eyes of your mind being enlightened 90 that you may know what is the whole of His calling'." (Eph. 1-17/18).
