Pope Speaks on

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI said that t.he women's liberation movement has some just demands but that abortion is not one of them.

In a talk Dec. 9 to the Union of Italian Catholic Jurists Pope Paul repeated the Second Vatican Council's condemnation of abortion and infanticide as

Author Asks Pardon For Polarization MILWAUKEE (NC)-A kind of mea culpa for some of the polarization in religious education was expressed here by author, lecturer and religous educator Mary Perkins Ryan. She was speaking for herself and other "progressive" educators who had hoped. for change to come too fast and as a result attempted to imposll their ideas on others. "A lot of harm has been done," Mrs. Ryan said, "by the tactlessness of progressive people, myself included. They've been just as authoritarian as the others-taking down vigil lights, downgrading novenas. What has happened to confession is a tragedy because 'people still feel guilty and yet <.1«1'1. feel it is 'in' to go anymore." In an interview with the Catholic Herald Citizetl here, she listed what she called some "tadless mistakes." "People (religiotl~i educators) took one or two courses in the Summer and, without digesting them properly themselves, tried to give them to people unprepared for l.'hem," she said. "They started new methodology they didn't know how to use. They didn't really understand the media they were using." Also, some "went off the deep end" in sensitivity training, she said. She did not discount all value of the technique but criticized those who claimed it to be "the total answer." She added she did think a useful help is' participation training, a series of exercises in how to reach consensus. Iincluding herself in her criticism, Mrs. Ryan said when she wrote her controversial book, "Are Parochial Schools the Answer?" (1954), "I didn't know enough about ·it. Hopet:ully, we all grow up." She said where religious education is flourishing . now are

parishes where parents are involved and where priests have made a point of making various adult groups feel they had goals that were vital to the parish. "Where the parish is alive, where there are parish meetings, where youth see there is a live Tum to Page Six

Fears Relative Value Ethic

LOS ANGELES (NC)-It is a schizophrenic subterfuge to say that abortion is anything but taking a human life, according to California Medicine, official journal of the California Medical Association. The journal editorially discussed "A New Etffic for Medicine and Society," and predicted that " the new ethic of relative rather than of absolute and equal values will ultimately prevail." This, said the editorial, will come about because science and technology now have the power to control the quality of life. "It will become necessary and acceptable to place relative rather than absolute values on such things as human lives ... "The process of eroding the old ethic and substituting the new has already begun. It may be seen most clearly in changing attitudes toward human abortion. In defiance of the long held Tum. to Page Six

basic of those constitutive relations of personality." Recalling that the first and most basic of human rights is the right to life, "that is, to the protection of one's life," the Pope declared: "Nobody can have a right that opposes this right, when it is a question of an innocent person." "The weaker the subject and the more needful he is of protection, the more binding upon all is the duty of protecting him. This duty is binding upon the mother most of all, so long as she bears him in her bosom." Pope Paul again quoted the Second Vatican Council: "God, the master of life, has entrusted to men the lofty mission of protecting life, a mission that must be carried out in a way worthy of man."

Bishop To Celebrate Anniversary' Sunday The clergy and laity of all the parishes and institutions of the Diocese of Fall River have been invited to participate in a solemn Mass of Thanksgiving that will be concelebrated at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in Fall River on Sunday, Dec. 17, at 5 o'clock, marking the second anniversary of the installation of His Excellency, the Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin as Fifth Bishop of Fall River. The Bishop's second aniversary of his installation as Bishop of Fall River will permit various diocese officials, retired and newly ordained priests, seminarians, and representatives of various diocesan schools, institutions and parishes to officially participate.

At the December meeting of the Fall River Priests' Senate at the Catholic Memorial Home on Friday, Dec. 8, a constitution change that would allow greater representation of religious priests on the Senate was proposed and approved. Through the work of the Constitutional Committee co-chairmen, Rev. Msgr. Robert L. Stanton and Rev. John Brennan, SS.CC., the deep concern of the religious priests of the Diocese of .'Fall River to have a greater voice were brought to the fore. Rev. Fintan D. Sheeran, SS.CC., of the Sacred Hearts' Fathers, had made proposals in this regard, that were corroborated by members of other religious communities working in the Diocese. The Fall River Senate of Priests concurred with the committee and after unanimous approval of the basic concept of greater representation, the proposal was sent back to committee for the working out, of possible methods of i~plementation. . In other actions, the Senate heard and discussed committee reports that indicated that proposals would be forthcoming, to APPRECIATION: Most Rev. James J.

HOUSTON (NC)-Many women are like adolescents seeking independence and identity -in the Church, Sister Susanne Breckel told a workshop on the permanent diaconate here. Sister Breckel, personnel director of the Sisters of Mercy New Enl¥and Province, asked that the clergy, laity and deacons understand the new position of women in the Ohurch. "I am not 'here to fight for women's lib, but to share with you where we are in women's ministry," she began. The Sister e~plained that women are going through development from the dependency of childhood to the independency of adolescence to the interdependency of adults. "Yesterday-50-60 years agowomen and men in the· Ohurch had a very definite dependency . on the Church ... The woman of yesterday was considered weaker, "less capable intellectually, and was depending on others to tell her who she was." Sister Susanne recalled that when she entered the convent 30 years ago, it was "an organization with specific structure and specific ministry." She then changed herself "to fit into that specific value system."

Together with the Bishop's second year, a number of parishes in the diocese now enter their second century of service. , His youthful energy has breathed new life in their resourceful traditions and long history of welcomed service. The cQncelebrated Mass, of itself, symbolizes and teaches the unity' of the Church. Sunday's Mass, however, is a wonderful lively lesson of the unity that exists in a diocese: The Bishop with his presbyterate - young and old, the schools, the welcomed institutions, the parishes - the always youthfully active Church of Fall River.

Bulwark Against Moral Laxity LONDON (NC) - The family was called Christian society's greatest bulwark against permissiveness, divorce and" morallaxities of late 20th century life at an ecumenical gathering here. The gathering in Westminster's Central Hall, opposite the houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, coincided with the televised Miss World contest here. This prompted Cardinal John Heenan of Westminster to remark that "perhaps the speakers should have arrived in bathing suits" and to praise the 2,000 persons who came to the meeting instead of viewing the contest.

LEAVE IT TO THEM: Sister Jane Marie and her stl.ldents at St. Joseph School, Fairhaven" make compost pile for pilot project in preparing natural fertilizer. Scme 200 students are involved in activity, which is being watched with interest by town officials.

.'Leave It to US' Say Pupils as They Start . Exper,imental Compost Pile in Fairhaven -

By Robclrt Leigh Sister Jane Marie has a firm idea that students should learn about God's good green earth and that there is more to it than what meets the eye. That's why her science class at St. Joseph School in Fairhaven harvested leaves for a compost pile this year and plans to turn that pile into fertilizer for the tender shoots that will eventually be next spring's garden. With the spotlight today on ecology, plus e'lcouragement

Churches Criticized At NCC Meeting -DALLAS (NC) - Auxiliary Bishop Patrick Flores of San Antonio told the National Council of Churches (NCC) general as路 sembly here that church people condone and even promote conflicts between rich and poor, and between ethnic groups. Delegates were also told that progress has been made in efforts to bring' the Catholic Church into membership in the organization, now composed of 33 Protestant and Orthodox churx:hes. Bishop Flores, a MexicanAmerican, and black poet Imamu Amiri Baraka spoke to the assembly as representatives of minority groups. Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones) was criticized by Jewish groups who said he was "violently anti-Semitic."

from the Environmental Protection Agency, the 200 students in Sist~r Jane's classes began col. lecting leaves - blown dowri in heavy winds and bringing them 'to school. Sister Jane. pointed out the plan also teaches the young science - students a lesson in recycling. "They are learning the necessities of recycling in nature," she said. "We intend to compost the leaves to make fertilizer and then spread it along school , grounds." Short Period The students are experimenting with a 14-day decomposition, instead of waiting for the usual all-winter process. "The leaves are mixed with or. ganic matter and a decomposing or decay begins to take effect," Sister Jane said. This is the first time the students at St. Joseph's have tried such a project and it is hoped the school grounds, rectory

grounds and neighborhood yards will' reap the harvest of Sister Jane's class experiment. Aside from garden and lawp beauty, composting may have another benefit. Sister Jane noted the class has already talked with Fairhaven Highway Department officials about composting garbage instead of land-filling refuse which is the current practice. For Town Meeting Town officials asked for a -full report from the students once the experiment at the school is completed. That report is expected to be presented to the full town meeting membership in March. So the short-term activity of recycling leaves might one day make Fairhaven a place' of beauty, with gardens and vegetables everywhere. " And all because a group of students and a teaching nun care about the earth God provided and want to maintain its intended natural beauty.

Plan to Resume Refugee Flights

Catholic-Jewish Relations In U.S. Approved by ~ome

MIAMI (NC) - After a lapse of six months, refugee airlift flights from Cuba to Miami will be resumed in the near future, the director of the U.S. government program for Cuban refugees announced, here. Authorities in Havana have ad· vised the United States through the Swiss embassy that they have 3,400 persons ready for departure aboard the flights, the program director, Howard Palmatier, said. Cuban authorities said that the flights, stopped last May when the Cubans said the list of refugees was almost exhausted, began in the second week in December. There will be only, one filight daily on the airlift which, since 1965, has brought more than 250,000 Cuban refugees to the United Staates. The flights are sponsored by the United States government. Most of the refugees, on reaching the United States, are resettled through the services of the U.S. Catholic Conference's Migration and Refugee Service. A master list approved by both governments contains some 27,000 names of prospective refugees but it is assumed that many have left Cuba through other . countries, have died, or _changed their minds about leaving the island since the list was compiled.

As Americans we are cuI· turally prejudiced, ignorant of the Middle East, made mute by fear of anti-Semitism (from with· in or without), and acutely sen· sitive to Jewish pressures." That's a gratuitous insult to those Amerkan Catholics who are working in the field of Catholic-Jewish relations and an even greater insult to their Jewish friends and colleagues. Equal· Iy insulting to'our Jewish fellow citizens is Father Ryan's cavalier attempt to write the history of the Six·Day War in 1967 and to play down or make light of it;; military significance. "Since 1967," he told his Washington audi~nce, "ecumen· ical relations have been based on a false understanding of the sit· uation. They have been based on the myth that there was a .threat of annihilation of the Jewish peo· pie for .the second time in a cen· tury." He branded this "myth" as "clearly false." 'The Six·Day War, he said, was "not a threat to (Israel's) security." Father Ryan can believe that if he wants to. I don't believe a word of it. To .the contrary, I think it's a complete falsification of the historical record. Political Views Father Ryan has been promoting this line ,persistently for some tilIne with a passion wor,thy of a better cause. In fact, he has spoken in this vein so frequently during the past several years that he' has won the unenviable 'reputation of being one of the most voc,al of all the 'pro·Arab, anti~Israel propagandists operating in the United States at the present time. Actuaolly' he is sta· tioned in Beirut, Lebanon, but he seems ,to spend a lot of time in the United States and, somehow or other, manages to hit the antiIsrael lecture circuit in this country with surprising regularity. Father Ryan is obviously en· titled to his own opinion about the Israel-Arab crisis, but, in my judgment, he is doing a great disservi-ce to the cause of Catholic· Jewish relations in this country by injecting his own political views into the ecumenical dia· logue and, even' worse, by try·

Opens Isabella's Beatification Cause VATICAN CITY (NC) - The beatification cause of Queen Isabella of Spain, who commissioned the voyages of Christopher Columbus and the Christianization of America, has been opened at the Vatican. The process was opened at the Congregation for the Causes of Saints following completion of the diocesan investigation conducted at Valladolid, Spain. The Spanish portion of the investigation involved 15 years of research by well-known scholars and historians and is contained

in 30 volumes of writings and other documents. Claretian Father Anastasio Guterrez, postulator of the Queen's cause, said the 30 volumes have now been sent to the Vatican for the second step in the possible beatification. Queen Isabella, wife of Ki.ng Ferdinand V of Arragon, was . born Dec. 11, 1451,' and died Nov. 26, 1504. Her marriage to Ferdinand in 1469 united the kingdoms of Castile and Arragon, laying the found.ations of the modern nation of Spain.

Who Gets the Presents? More and more families have taken up the custom of the Advent wreath. The recitation of family prayer, the lighting of th~ candles as symbols of humanity's wait for the Redeemer, the candle itself as the sign of the light of Christ - all these show that people need reminders and welcome these as helps to their spiritual development. It is to be hoped that as people prepare for Christmas they will put the emphasis on the spiritual and on Christ and on His gre~ter coming into their lives. \ . A large department store used to advertise every year -, It's our birthday but you get the presents. This is the time of year when people should be more deeply aware that they are preparing for Christ's birthday and He should get the presents of lives more open to receive Him at His coming and more responsive to His presence within.

Gatherer of Fragments The hearts of many were touch~d the other day by the words of Secretary of Defense appointee Elliot L. Richardson spoken at the dedication of a recently rebuilt Boston Church. Richardson spoke of God and of man's reach toward eternity. He spoke of God as the gatherer of the fragments of life, the One Who gives meaning and purpose to life. It is good for men everywhere to hear these words and it is especially strengthening to hear them from one who has carried more than a casual share of the burdens of modern American government. Many men in and out of public eye are reluctant to open their souls and their religious convictions to the gaze of others. They reason, and with some measure of justification, that their lives should proclaim their beliefs more than any words. ' But it is good from time to time for those in positions of great responsibility to let others see the motives behind their actions, the source of strength that they' 'themselves call' upon, the dependenc,e upon God that is not merely a lip-service thing but the very fabric of life and activity.

Easily Bored

'- ,

It is an awesome thing these evenings to look up at the moon and then to do a double-take with the realization that the man in the moon has become the men on the moon. One of the startling things about the present moon exploration is the almost casual attention given it by the average person. People, indeed, stilI feel a sense of apprehension before blast-off, stilI follow with some concern the trip over hundreds of thousands of miles, still express relief at the touch-down, still smile at the enthusiasm of the astronauts as they chase after rocks and worry about dented fenders on Rover. But the whole performance is being taken in large measure almost for granted. What was Buck Rogers fantasy a few decades ago is now sandwiched between soap operas for one television segment and cartoons for another. One wO,rtders whether this is a tribute to the high stand-' ards of American science and technology or whether we should be frightened that people have become bored in a surprisingly short time at the wqnders that man has accomplished in the realms of space.

"Since the old ethic has not yet been fully displaced it has been necessary to separate the idea of abortion from the idea of killing, which continues to be socially ab-horrent.

The important thing is for parents to get involved in the kind of religious education they themse1ves want for their children instead of having it imposed on them, she said. She added: "If they have been given the pitch by the priests on what the new religious education is, and the parents still want a more conservative approach they should be encouraged to do it their own way. You can't force new ideas. But hopefully, with patience and kindness we can eventually win them over," Adult Education Mrs. Ryan said there is a real need for religious education of the young, especially the adolescents, because surveys show they "are passionately interested in religion," But the real hope for religious education, Mrs. Ryan emphasized, is aduit education. "We have to help adults realize they're ,all in on the deal, they're part of the Church. We have to help them wherever they are to bmaden their views and values and determine what they want to live by," she said. "There are only a small proportion that come to discussion groups and classes but they're at least a leavening group-as were the Christian Family Movement who over the years were sllccessful in getting people to discuss religion."

Pope St~resses Man's Freedom To Seek God

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec.. 14, 1972

Study National Pastoral Council

VATICAN CITY (NC) - If man is to be truly free he must be able to seek knowledge of God, Pope Paul VI told a general audience here. "To impede man's access to God," Pope Paul said, means "to close man within himself, with all the illogical and sorrowful consequences which come from a compressed, limited, blind and illusory humanism, which lacks the supreme reasons for studying, loving and hoping."

WASHINGTON (NC) - Ten specialists from several fields will explore questions relating to a national pastoral council, the chairman of a committee of the U.S. bishops' Advisory Council announced, The specialists in history, education, canon law, theology, Sacred Scripture, psychology, sociology and organizational skills, will meet for the first time Dec. 27 to 29 at the Marriottsville Spiritual Center in Marriottsville, Md., according to the steering committee chairman, Msgr. J. Paul O'Connor.

The Pope chaillenged his listeners to ask questions such as: Does God exist? .Who is God? What can make man know of Him and what are an individual's relations to Him?

Msgr. O'Connor, chancellor of the Youngstown, Ohio, diocese, said that his committee has also sent a questionnaire to officials of diocesan pastoral councils to determine their interest in a national workshop and subjects they would like covered.

Recalling that the beginning of the Church's liturgical year is the period of' Advent, which means the coming of Christ "As we say, God made man" the Pope noted that today "God is ignored, God is forgotten, God is denied." But for Christians, he said; "it is necessary to think about God." Indifference. to this is "neither intelligent nor human," he declared. Agnosticism, Atheism

The advisory council has been studying the feasibility of ana· tional pastoral council since 1970. A national pastoral council has been described as a body representing many segments of the Church and meeting periodically to discuss issues of concern to the ChuFth and society. It would advise the bishops of the results of its discussions.

The group played in the World Fair's Christian Pavilion during Expo '67. After his ordination in October 1969, Father Patenaude was assigned to Attleboro as shrine music director. Since then he has sponsored folk festivals in Attleboro and Enfield, has lectured extensively to Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and CYO groups and has provided music for ecumenical and other religious events in the area. Saturday Folk Mass He provides music at La Salette's 7:30 P.M. folk Mass every Saturday. People from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut attend the weekly celebration. The son of Mrs. and the late Armand Patenaude, his mother, Jeanette, lives at 395 Chicago Street, Fall River, with his sister, Doris. Two other sisters are married. They are Mrs. Michael Souza, Westport, and Mrs. Donald Hussey, Somerset.

A year ago, the U.S. bishops approved a report from the advisory council saying that a national pastoral council, while desirable, was not immediately feasible and recommending steps leading toward the creation of such a body within the next sev: eral years.

looking as it was in the days when those of us in the over30 group longed fo'r angora knits. I'm not sure if this new angora is as sheddy as the one we knew (ours used to shed on every date's dark suit and we all kept our sweaters in the refrigerator to keep them from molting), but it certainly is as pretty. Short Waisted The shape of these soft confections is short waisted and short sleeved. Fashion conscious teens are wearing them with high waisted slacks and layered over long sleeved matching' blouses or body shirts. Mini-yests These sweaters come in mmlvest type designs as well as the full sleeved knits, and these too are quite lovely with many of them splendidly embroidered with pale, feminine flowers, Scarf sets with the look of hand work, handbags as soft and supple as a chamois or as gigantic and useful as an overnight bag, blouses, pale-pasteled, and much wanted. The list could go on and on.

In accep~ing the post offered by the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) - a group for English-speaking university students - the archbishop said: "NUSAS is one of the great hopes of South Africa, focusing and coordinating student opinions in regard to the great forces of human dignity and freedom."

Try some of the natural cosmetics for a gift. With the accent on ecology, especially in the eyes of the young, this type of gift will not only please her because of its accent on beauty but she'll also marvel at your sudden realization that na- ' tural is nice. Presently she probably feels that only those on the lower end of the generation gap realize how great natural beauty aids are.

Ther,e" 5 More to Sho:pping

Than Simply Bu,yi1ng Gifts For years I hated Christmas shopping. Instead of doing it early, I kept putting it off. I felt if I ignored it long-enough, it would just go away. Now it has occurred to me that possibly all the fault didn't lie in the shopping. I The tiredness in ner eyes diswas responsible for a good appeared, "You know, you're the bit of my own grief. first person all week who didn't While quietly sitting in my think I was some sort of makitchen, 'I started thinking about other aspects of my life. There are jobs I dislike'; but griping about them doesn't make them any easier.

By MARY CARSON

There are people I like, who have faults; but I ignore the faults, and enjoy their good points. My children have ,shortcomings; but I love them anyway, and coneentrate on their strengths and virtue:;. While I was able to think positively about some things, I never had done it regarding Christmas shopping. I had developed the habit of dwelling on the things r disliked about shopping. Good Things Therefore ... to cure the problem ... all I had to do was concentrate on the good things about Christmas shopping. I set off for the department store, full of good will. As I drove into the parking lot, the air was filled with .the fragrance of fresh-cut pine trees. I w.ondered why I never noticed that in other years. How lovely, the store windows looked; the Christmas decorations were magnificent. A voice boomed in baek of me, "Lady will you keep mOVing? You're holding up the line!" I thought my plan had been shot full of holes. As I looked around,a tired father was trying to hold the hand of an over-eager toddler. I smiled at him, '~Sorry, I just stopped to 'admire the decorations." "Humph!" But as I walked on, I saw him point out to his son the little carved figures of skaters, gliding under a decorated tree. And they both were smiling. I accumulated an armf.ul of assorted pajamas and shirts, and decided to have them checked out before I started losing the packages. The long line at the cash register wasn't moving. Up ahead there was a problem over a charge card. The customer became surly. His rude remarks to the sales girl could be heard by everyone' in line.

When I told her I h~d 'eight kids, she leaned over and said, "Check down at the end of this aisle. I know that they are putting out specials on girls' slacks. There are some real good buys. With that many kids, you can usee all the help you can get." I thanked her and as I walked away, she was ,smiling at the next customer. Almost without exception, I found that by being considerate of the people around me, I could get them to respond. All these years, when I so disliked shopping, I never realize:! that I was' going to the slore simply to "get." But one, of the Christmas messages is to "give." That must include giving of myself ... giving a kind word to a tired sales girl; giving ~ smile to the irritated shopper; giving a bit of warmth to all these "neighbors." Now when I evaluate a shopping trip, there are two things to consider how many gifts I found and more important, how many spirits I lifted.

Fr. Hill I.auds Supreme Court Obscenity' Ruling

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 14, 1972

Msgr. Bordelon In New Post

NEW YORK (NC) - A leader of anti-obscenity forces applauded a U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the right of states to close bars featuring lewd entertainment. Father Morton Hill, president of Morality in MEldia, also said he hoped the ruling was a portent of court decisions expected in several other obscenity cases. Father Hill made his comment on the day the court handed down its 6-3 ruling on a case from California. In that ruling, which reversed a decision by a three-judge federal panel in Los Angeles, the majority said the first amendment does not go beyond books and movies to "gross sexuality" in public. In addition, the majority opinion, written by Justice William H. Rehnquist, said the 21st amendment ending prohibition gave states strong controls over the sale of liquor in bars and 'night clubs. 'Gratifying I>eeision' The decision upheld 1970 regulations-which the lower court had held unconstitutional in April, 1971-authorizing California's department of alcoholic beverage control to suspend or revoke a liquor license when officials believe there is conduct "contrary to public welfare or morals." In his reaction to the Court's decision, Father Hill stated: masturbation, sodomy, bestiality, oral copulation and flagellation" were being passed' off as "dancing" and entertainment in bars there. "While this decision is not strictly in our area, since we deal with the explicit protrayal of obscene acts and words-in film and print, still it is a heartening and gratifying decision, States' Decision "It emphasizes the fact that you cannot sell flesh and obscenity as entertainment, and leaves the decision to the individual state as to whether or not it will tolerate such activity, not to a lowest common-denominator national standard. "I hope it is a harbinger of what is to come in the obscenity cases the court has before it for review." Voting in the majority in the California case, besides Rehnquist, were the three other Nixon appointees, Chief Justice E. Burger and Justices Harry A. Blackmun and Lewis F. Powell Jr. Also in the majority were Justices Potter Stewart and Byron White, regarded as the court's "swing men." The court's liberal bloc-comprised of Justices William O. Douglas, William J. Brennan and Thurgood MarshaU - dissented.

New President TAMPA (NC) -- Members of the executive board of the National Federation of Priests' Councils have announced the resignation of Father Frank Bonnike as president. The board in accepting the resignation expressed "profound regret," and endor!!ed as new president Father Reid C. Mayo, vice-president of the' NFPC since March. He is a priest of the diocese of Burlington, Vt.

A firm base exists for continued progress in years to come."

We all know from the vast range of spy stories of the James Bond type that :have flooded the post-war market that, in war and cold war alrlke, both sides are out to down each other by every subterfuge and deceit with which they can successfuly get away. False letters, bogus telephone calls, lying rumors, decoys, bug· ging to secure confidential informabion - all this is the daily grind of the spy rings. It is justi· fied by the superior needs of "defen-se"or "victory." If truth ,is a casualty, this faet is less important than defeating an insidious foe. Serious Accusatjons .J Even aHer real wars, it can take nations a long time to recover from the diseases of their own propaganda. A smell of lying corrupts the air, often distorts-as in 1919-the efforts at peace-making and carries the risk that habits learnt in war cannot beu,nlearnt in peace. It is in this 'that lies the seriousness of the accusations of electoral misbehavior made in the United states during the recent campaign.

The Republican Committee to elect the President had, according to the 'indictment, been spying on the Democmts, issuing false letters and sending misleading telephone calls. One young man recruited for sUich activities is reported Ito have said he saw no harm in the game. "If you have pro propaganda, you must have negative propaganda. It is part of ,the same thing." Now, this is real corruption of the mind. "Negative propaganda" is simply 'a bit of bogus language (or Orwellian "Newspeak") for the real word, which is "lying." It says in so many words that in conducting a peaceful electoral campaign among presumably honorable and trusting citizens, the vile ,tricks of war-inspired espionage are perfectly legitimate, that the country does not suffer when ,the political information it receives comes from a poisoned source, when it can no longer know whether any statement of dts oandidate is correctly reported or given a secret twist, when the words it believes ,it has read were in fact never ~ttered. To realize ,the gravity of these risks, a citizen has only to reflect on what could happen to his own

I was enabled by this documentary to come to recognize more vividly that man is admirably human under what appear to be the strangest guises. In fact the apparent strangeness of some customs intensified the insight into what it means to be human. Unfortunately'it is all too easy tc identify as the ideal of humanity the cultural ways with which one is famillar. A good man is thought to be one who embodies our values and life-style. We easily equate being human with being American, or white, or black. As a result our appreciation of the richness and depth of human nature is, impoverished.

Rahner, S.J., Hans Kueng, Edward Schillebeecloc, O.P., F. J. Sheed, Hans Urs von Balthasar 'and F. X. DUITwell, C.SS.R. These are all well known theologians, and som.e of them have been focus points of controversy. All had been widely published before Vatican n. Some' were theological experts to bishops at ,the council. Their influence, direct or indirect, was felt at the council, and in the post<onciliar years they have continued to have an international hearing. The editor has, in Elach case, chosen four representative passages f.rom p. man's writing, representative, that ,is, not o'nly of his though but also of the devel0t:ment of his thought. These passages have been chosen, too, for their relevance to the four principal documents of VatJican II: the Constitutions on the Church, on Revelation, on the Liturgy, and on the Church in the Modern. World. Well Known Writers There is a brief int'roduction to each volume, and on the dust jacket of each bound volume there is a concise biography of the sampled theologians. This could advisedly have been included within the volume itself, and perhaps is more closely tied to the paperback edition. Comparatively few Catholks can have failed to hear the names of these writers. Almost all must have been exposed to snippets, at least, of their thought, either through articles read or sermons or addresses heard. But relatively few have encountered their thought at first hand and in significant quantity. Their books have been accessible, but the ordinary person probably shied away from them as being too formidably scholarly for him. Now, in this series, they come within reach. The intelligent, inquiring person can gain much by a study of these books, each of which bears a 1972 imprimatur.

Patients Increase ST. LOUIS (NC) - The Catholic Hospital Association has reported about 5.6 million patients were admitted to the nation's 734 Catholic hospitais last year, an increase of almost 100,000 admissions over 1970. The association, which represents 97 per cent of all U.S. Catholic hospitals, said the increase occurred despite the fact that 15 Catholic medical facilities were phased out due to mergers or closings. "The increase principally occurred due to building and expansion programs," an association spokesman said. "There was more building than closing. Large hospitals are getting larger, compensating for the closing and merging of smaller hospitals." ' Sister Mary Maurita, CHA executive vice president, said the merging and closings generally involved facilities of 100 or less beds in smaller communities.

Ontario Ukrainia'n-Rite Catholics "Ask 'Roman Catholic' Designation TORONTO (NC) - The Ontario minister of education' has been asked to consider Ukrainian-rite Catholics as "Roman Catholics" for ,the purpose of supporting Catholic schools. The British North America Act of 1867 guarantees Catholics in Ontario the right to their own schools. Section 53 of the later Separate Schools Act of Ontario specifically and solely refers to "Roman Catholics" as having the right to their own schools. Government workers called e n u mer a tor s visit homes throughout the province to determine how taxpayers' money is ,to be used for school support. If the taxpayers say they are Roman Catholics, their taxes go to the, support of Catholic schools. The tax,es of persons saying they belong to other denominations go to the support of public schools. In a letter to Minister of Education Thomas Wells, Ukrainianrite Bishop Isidore Borecky of the eparchy of Toronto said that over the past several years, members 'of Eastern-rite Catholic churches in communion with the Roman Catholic Church have often described themselves to enumerators as Ukrainian, Greek or Byzantine Catholics, instead of Roman Catholics.

.. '

"By law and by common rec-, ognition, these Catholics should be accorded the same consideration as other Roman Catholics, especially as regards the assignment of school taxes," said Bishop Borecky. ' "We therefore request' that your office instruct enumerators and assessment officers that all citizens identifying themselves as Ukrainian, Greek or Byzantine Catholics be classified 'Roman Catholics,' the currently used designation of those contributing to the Catholic separate schools in Ontario." The bishop said this would help avoid mis'understandings and court cases and "is in accord with the principles of the gen-eral rights of man recognized by Canada and our province."

Continued from Page Sixteen pIe we .come to know more about God. This has important impl.jcations for religious education. We might ask ourselves questions like these about our approaches to Christian catechesis: "To what extent are we encouraging knowledge and respect of others who come from different backgrounds, races, nations?" "Are we expanding our people's awareness of the values and ideals of those in other cultures?" "How do we feel about 'foreign,' 'sttange,' ~ustoms and habits?" "What is our attitude toward 'Other religions?" "In our lives' as well as in the classroom are we growing in respect and compassion toward all peoples?" "What is our attitude to those who challenge and question our own ideals or values?" Challenge ,One of the modern criticisms of Christianity is that our God is too small. Many people today criticize Christians not because their idea of God is too lofty, too demanding, but ,that it is not challenging enough. It is a real danger: forming an idea of God that is smaller than God, even smaller than man. We tend to put God into a box, neatly' defined and easily grasped. In so doing we actually betray our own tradition which recpgnizes God as so good, so beautiful, so mysteriously attractive, so incomprehensible, that he can not be contained in anyone single expression or form. Even Jesus, the fullest expression of divinity, pointed beyond himself, , to the Father.. " It seems to me' one .good way to challenge our tendency to constrict God to comfortable categories is to honestly try to appreciate the values and ideas of peoples other than ourselves. The mOVie "Phantom India" jarred me into the realization that our own tradition is not too distant from the Hindu scriptures, the Vedas, which proclaim: "Truth is One.

Norton Hiih Coach

Visitors touring the grour Is of La Salette Shrine and Prayer Center in Attleboro to view this year's annual Christmas ilhimi· nation and displays will pass before the brightly lit manger. In its prIstine setting, the manger is the focal point of the theme of the i1lumination, "Make Straight His Path." Entrance to the manger is under a 25 foot high lighted arch. Behind the life-size figures of Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus is a tri-panelled backdrop of handpainted .glass. To the right (not shown) is the live animal area consisting of a donkey, calf and sheep. On either side of the manger are suspended two brightly-hued herald angels. The La Salette Christmas lights, which were turned on this year, marking the 20th year for the annual attraction, wi1l con· tinue through Jan. 7.

Stresses Religious Nature Of Priesthood' YONKERS (NC) - Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York emphasized to his archdiocesan - priests here that "bringing God's word and His' sacraments to man, and reconciling man to God" is "the central work of the priesthood of Jesus Christ." "This must, in every case, remain the primary' emphasis of 'our work," the cardinal told the priests' assembly at St. Joseph's Seminary here. The assembly is a gathering of all priests of the archdiocese summoned occasionally to discuss problems of general interest to the clergy. About 600 priests attended. Pastoral Care "Priests should be educated and thoughtful men," Cardinal Cooke said. "They should enjoy a full and· humane range of interests in public affairs, in cui. tural, social and intellectual questions, and in the lively issues that have ever made priests welcome advisors and good company to people in every station of life. Moreover they cannot be effective pastors of souls unless they pay attention to issues of civic and social importance to their people. "But it is a disorder, and ultimately a destructive one, 'for a, priest to devote himself exclusively to issues that are largely political or social, or even cultural or intellectual. If a priest becomes' so totally preoccupied with these issues he will become distracted from the concentration on the pastoral and religious matters which must be central to his life and his vocation. People turn to us for religious wisdom. "Our people have a right to find in our rectories and our churches men who are devoted primarily to the work of religion and to the pastoral care of souls." Ba~is of Happiness The Cardinal also stressed that internal dispositions rather than external reforms are the basis of happiness in the priesthood. "Happiness and morale must be rooted in an integrated, balanced personality which is philosophically calm - that is to say, a man who knows his life's goals - is capable of adjustment to reality, and has made generosity and love true habits of life. "If a priest does not enjoy these qualities and an underlying love of God that will sustain him in a happy and cheerful disposition of life, then no pattern of work, no relationship with peers and superiors, no control of his own affairs and certainly no 'mechanical' reforms of priestly work will make him a happy man or encourage high morale."
