Q!~ri!ltmus ~tnry

1" ONG BEFORE thclt day a decree had been

~ issued by order of Caesar Augustus that a census of the whole world should be taken.

This census was the first to take place while Cyrinus was in charge of Syria.

Accordingly, the people went, each to the city of his ancestor, to be registered; and so Joseph, too, being a member of the house and family of David, wEmt up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee 'to David's town in Judea, called Bethlehem, in order to be registered.

He was accompcmied by his espoused wife Mary, who was with child.

In the" course of their stay there, the time came for her delivery; and she gave birth to her first-born son.

She wrapped hirn in swaddling clothes, and laidhi,m in a manger, because there was no accommodation for them in 'the lodging.

In the same· regi4)n shepherds were camping in the open and keeping watch over their flocks by night. Suddenly, Ian angel of the Lord stood facing them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, so th~t they were struck with terror. . liDo' not fear,'" the angel said to them.

"Listen: '1' am bringing you good news of great joy which. is in, store fQr the whole nation. A Savior, who is the LOlrd M&ssias, was born to you today in David's town!

II And this will ,:serve y~u as a token: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and cradled in a :manger.'f All of a sudden, the angel was joined by a multitude of th.e heavenly host, praising God with the. strain: IIGlory to God in the heavens above, and on earth peace to men of good will.'"

When at last the angels had withdrawn from them and returnled to heaven, the shepherds said to one another: "Let us go ove; to Bethlehem and find out the truth about this thing the Lord has made known to us."

So they set off in haste, and sought out Mary and Joseph and the infant cradled in a manger.

And when they saw them, they made known what had been told them about this little child.

All those who heard the account given them by the shepherds exprc!ssed surprise, while Mary treasured all these -incidents and meditated on them in her heart.

At last the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God foil' everything they had heard and which afterwards was seen to be just· as they had been told•.

Bishopls Christmas Message Asks ~ Union With 'God In his annual Christmas message to the faithful of the Diocese, the Most Rever­ end Bishop reminds that "Christmas is our union in mind and heart with God" imd called on men to posses the truth that makes them free, the charity that make9 them brothers, the peace that belongs only to men of good will. .. His statement, which sets the

religious tone of the season, fullows: What do we need most for Christmas? Certainly not trin­ kets or toys, nor wampum and wassail. M09t men, conscious of the fact that the world is tor­ tured by hates and fears, would be glad to settle for real Peace.

The only trouble is that the de­ cision is for men to make, and not all men are men of good will.

PopeHasConcern Over Breakdown Of Marriages

lift up your heads: behold your redemption is at hand.

VATICAN CITY (NC) ­ Pope Paul VI, addressing judges of the Universal Church's court of appeal,. wondered aloud if the increase in the number of marriage cases brought before the court is not traceable to a decline in moral responsibility.

Public entertainment, books end other publications. have spread "dangerous ideas and mistaken attitudes," said the Pope. .

He added: "And it is also a fact that these stimuli meet with less resistance within the very sanctuary of the family than they did in the past."

The Pope was speaking to the ~dges of the Sacred Roman Rota, assembled for their cus­ tomary papal audience at the beginning of the new judicial year. Dean, or head, of the court is a priest from Shenan­ doah, Pa., Msgr. Francis J. Brennan.

In his address to the court, the Pope spoke of, the "absolute necessity of a recall to the pre­ eminence of moral values."

Moral Values He also praised pastoral un­ dertakings which "give engaged couples and young married cou­ ples that moral and spiritual preparation which willillumi­ nate and strengthen their con­ llICience for the holiness of love and the firmness and real hap­ piness of family life."

Pope Paul said that conscience -"that light of the soul"-must rule ecclesiastical judges and !lawyers as well as the partiea involved in a suit.

He said also: "Those contracting marriage should not approach it superfi­ eially as a caprice of the senses, or. an adventure, or an uncertain experiment, but should be con­ scious of the step they are tak­ ing and should see it as the great ISacrament w h i c h consecrates them to the sublime mission of collaborating with God in giving life to new creatures and caring :fur their development with pru­ dence and an awareness of their responsibility.'"

During an audience here, the Pope thanked President Nyerere for his ,visit and bade him and his party a "heartfelt welcome to Our home, as heartfelt as the welcome extended to Us last year when We had the unfor­ gettable experience of visiting the vast African continent."

The Pope recalled how im­ pressed he had been by the "surging vitality" of the African people and of Africa's newly in­ dependent nations.

Catholic bishops and clergy; and no citizens more loyal and re­ spectful than the African Cath­ olics.

"We pray therefore that our children in your country and in all of Africa may prove them­ selves zealous observers of law and order, and that the various governments may protect and safeguard that freedom which the Church needs to carry on her high mission of truth, charity and justice for the good of Africa and for peace in the world."

Urges Catholic Schools Study Race Problem

By Rev. Andrew M.

Gret~ley

Recently we lamented the !Ieeming lack of interest of Catholic universities in la,rge :reale research in problems with which Catholic Silcial teaching has been concerned. the most crucial area "of such re­ search at pres­ ent would be the race ques­ tion. On this subject the Catholie universi­ ties could take the lead wit h little difficulty, since no one is doing research on race. The southern oliguchy which controls Congress has frightened both the foundations and the governmental agencies away from the subject, the for­ mer because of fear of lo,;;s of their tax-exempt status and the' latter for fear of having their budgets destroyed.

After Integration One of the problems to which f:atholic scholars might turn d1.eir attention is the question of what happens after int.egra­ non. For, even though the race question cannot be solved with­ out integration, it ought to be clear that integration by itself is only the beginning of a solu­ Uon. U Negroes could shop in any .tore where they could afford Cbe merchandise, eat in an~' res­ taurant where they could pay ftle bill, attend any school where they can pass the tests, wo,rk at eny job for which they have the _ills, and live in any home for which they can pay the rent or meet the mortgage payments; only a relatively small propor-' Gon of the Negro population would experience much of a ehange in their lives.

It should be emphasized: that Integration is necessary both for fhat crucial portion of the Negro population which would benefit icn"m it and as a prelude to further soCial progress for the Negro masses. It is necessary but DOt enough.

'Culture of Poverty' There are several reasons for the slow social progress of i~er­ ican Negroes, and none of them have to do with any basic infe­ riority.

However, there is no es<:aping 1I1e fact that a people (:annot overcome iIi a few years the ef­ fect of' several centuries of davery and another century of segregation (which in its own way is. worSe than slavery').

A "culture of poverty" which

generates indifference, cynicism and despair does not disappear overnight and will not disappear automatically when oPPClrtuni­ ties begin to appear. Neither do problems of family instability vanish from the scene when the magic wand of integration is waved.

Christmas

Continued from Paee ODe

·An Acceptable People The Epistle of Midnight :Mass says: "He gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and that he might cleanse for himself an acceptable people."

The Christmas story - God's becoming man and dwelling among us - is not simply the re-living of the birth of Christ with all its touching details of poverty and humi­ lity. It is not alone the bringing into focus of the Divine . Child's appeal. The Christmas story. - the littleness of the Child, the purity of Mary, the dutifulness of Joseph, the wonder of the scene - is more than all of these.

The Christmas story is the story of redemption. From all eternity God's plan for man's redemption meant the Incarnation - God's becoming man. From all eternity God willed to anoint human nature by uniting it to His Divinity.

From all eternity God willed the salvation of the human race through joining a human body and soul to the Second Person of the All-Holy Trinity.

The Christmas story is the story of redemption. "The

King of Peace is exalted whose face the whole world longs to see." "Lift up your heads for your redemption is near at hand." These texts taken from the Christmas :Mass and Office portray not a helpless Infant but the King of Ages coming in power and majesty. He does not need the

trappings of vesture or surroundings to show forth His

glory. He is God manifested in the flesh, the victorious

Warrior Who alone conquers the hold of evil over men, the

King Who leads men to victory over t~emselves and the

powers of ·darkness.

Looking upon the Christmas scene, men of good will see not only the Child but the Son of God; not only the object of their love but the One Who alone makes them lovable to God by drawing them to Himself; not only the One of Whom the angels sing but the One Who makes them sing in their own hearts because they have been made children of the Father through their Brother, Christ.

Christmas is the feast of every person's redemption ­ "This night is born to you a Savior who is Christ the Lord."

It is good to hear the swelling number of distinguished educators who are insisting that their students do not enjoy an absolute freedom of action but a freedolll that must be used - not abused - in keeping with the dictates of the law of God and the good order of the community.

As happens in every college generation, there are those individuals who feel that because they are physically able to do many things, then they have the right to follow their desires and this is the business of no one but them­ selves. They rail against college regulations and deans' warnings and feel that any attempt to call them to re­ TOMORROW-Ember Friday sponsibility for what they have done is a violation of sacred in Winter.

As an example, the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre is under the care of three confessions: the Latins, the Greek Orthodoz and the Arcnenian Orthodox..

In an address to the 14th e..­ gress of Italian CathoHc Law­ y~rs, Cardinal Bea, Presidem ol the Secretariat for the Promo­ tionof Chri"tian Unity, devel­ oped one of the themes 01. the last debates of the 2nd Sessio&.

He attemnted to define Chris­ tian Reli~ious Liberty. "Reli­ gious liberty." he said, '"1a _ inalienable and undeniable right of man." Ih treatment and de­ velopment in the Council Is therefore of vital importance to mankind. '''We in th n "11th Century tbfnk of freedom from all external' constraint." he began. Howe~, turning to S~r;nture, the eminent prelate bid us have a tru17 Christian outlook on freedom.

St. Paul was "the herald and hero of liherty" even when loaded with chains. For the Apostle, "liberty has an essen­ tially interior value." It ma·kes the Christhm free from pas­ sion, "master of his actions • he may construct his own per­ sonality and at the same time determine his own * * * destiny."

The Carc1i ro al pointed to true freedom'c two most essential elements: 1) the consciousneB8 and mastery of one's own ac­ tion; 2) the will of giving oneself generously to truth, justice, one', brothers and God. In a short historical review, the 80 year old prelate showed how the recent popes had Turn to Page Nine

FOUR.TH SUNDAY OF AD­ VENT. The Gospel places Ad­ vent in history. "It was in the 15th year of the emperor Ti­ berius' reign * * *" John pro­ claimed an advent.

If Christianity is sometimes accused of being "other-world­ ly" to a myopic extent, it is be­ cause we fail to remember that the things we celebrate in mys­ tery, in our sacramental worship, are historical events. They are events which took place in this -Norld, at definite times and places, advancing the course of Ute WOI.I -

It is by God's grace and his Sacramental order that these Ele_ cisive events, already a part of the history of the human race, can become a part of everyman's personal history as they are mys­ teriously, sacramentally mad e present in every congregation of the people of God here and now.

The urgency of today's Mass, expressed in such texts a6 "Pour out your dew, you heav­ ens, from above," "Put forth your power, Lord, and come," "The Lord draws near," ·'Make no delay" is an urg.ency which has a present dimension as well as a past and a future. The pres­ ent dimension of today's Mass is decisive for our salvation­ history as a community of be­ lievers in the present moment, a moment made holy by Christ through His action in this sacra­ ment.

MONDAY-Mass as on Sun­ day. So Ol,lr encounter with Christ in the Mass, or in any of the sacraments, or in the preach­ ing of His Word, is an encounter with a living and reigning Christ-of-this-moment I' a the r than the recovery of a historical figure.

When I hear John's cry in the Gospel, "Prepare the way of the Lord," I do not speculate about those faithful Jews who accepted Jesus as Saviour nor about the events of the last days, when creation reaches its consumma­ tion. John's cry is an appeal for my action now, in terms of faith 'and hope and love.

TFESDAY-Vigil of Christmas.

The "now" of today's liturgy is our response to the fact that human nature, matter, the world itself are blessed, re­ claimed, in a sense "divinized," by the feast we prepare to cele­ brate, "Tomorrow earth's defile. ment will be washed away."

"All that is flesh and blood will see ou-:- God and Saviour" (Communion Hymn).

What a beautiful economy of expression in the Gospel's simple statement, "she will bear a son, whom thou shalt call Jesus. for he is to save his people from their .sins"!

CHRISTMAS DAY. Every­ thing worldly in today invaded by divinity and orientated toward a spiritual goal. The midnight, dawn and daytime Masses all sine the joy of crca-

ture who have labored lone under the nation of some kind of opposition between matter and spirit but whose inte«rity and wholeness and harmon,. iii now restored. "You are m,. .cJIIl"

Speaking to a crowd of 1,000 at his regular Wednesday audi­ ence, the Pope said: "This audi­ ence seems to Us an echo of the Vatican council, which ended its second session with promulga­ tion of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy; that is, with the exhortation to us all to pray and to pray well."

"The Church is sometimes ac­ cused of emphasizing her laws and decrees, her visible author­ ity. The highest authorities of the Church, however, have turned their first attention to the liturgy, and have given the place o! honor to prayer, to con­ versation with God."

Christmas Brin~~s Saddened World True Peace

Kingdom

By Mary Tinley Daly This Christmas column, from our house to yours, brings the u sua 1 good wishes : "Happy Christmas, Holy Christmas" rather than the "Merry Christmas" of former saddened w 0 rId. years. It is too soon to carry on the "Merry" bit right now.

This year's Christmas is saddened by the unexpected assassination of President Ken­ nedy, leaving a y <i u ng widow, two fatherless children anli a saddened world.

It was a traumatic experience for everybody, a sobering epi­ sode, pointing up "sudden death."

In the wake of the Nov. 22 tragedy are the other fatheI'less children: the Tippetts of Dalilas and of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Christmas will not be the SiUJle for any of these families f<lr a long, long time, if ever.

Pre - Christmas 1963 is a world-wide time of trauma.

Suspension of normal activity during the acute period .of mourning brought realization to all Americans of the meaning of life and death. Moreovelr, it brought a knowledge and appre_ ciation of the Catholic Faith to many who had never known anything of the Mass and the ineffable consolation in death wh4:h a sincere belief in the world hereafter means.

Upon taking up, slowly, the 'Way-of-the-world the - filnite tasks to which our lives are de­ dicated - we all have a new viewpoint.

Almost as a shock come the fattened newspapers, not only with their news columns filled with investigation of the tragedy and news of the new admini:rtra­ tIon, but the huge amount of newsprint - already contra.cted tor -to advertise the selling of merchandise. Page after page is filled with urging to buy-iouy­

Know t hat the kingdom of God is at hand, amen I say to you, it shall not be delayed.

Council Recess Continued from Page Six stressed one or the other of these essential parts depending on the historical problems.

"I remind you that the Church has solemnly affirmed the inal­ ienable rights of the human person to the freedom in honor­ ing God privatel:' and publicly, to proclaim and propagate his religion, according to the pre­ cept of one's upright conscience."

Evidently, the common good, the rights of God and of men, the rights of society, must be considered.

Finally, the Cardinal pointed out that -the right to religious liberty must be respected even in those who in good faith cannot loose themselves from error.

Christmas Prayers from Our Lady. of Victory,

Danette Pendergast, John J. Pendergast III "The gloom of the world is but a. shadow; behind it, yet within our ·reach is joy. Take joy" .. ­ "There is radiance in dark­ ness, could we but see-and to see we have only to look. 1 be­ seech you to look.

heaven. Courage then to claim it, that is all! But courage you have, and the knowledge that we are pilgrims together, wending through unknown country home.

"And so, at this Christmas time, 1 greet you with profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away."

Somehow the importance of getting something "for the man who has everything " loses its punch, if it ever had any-mink enveloped bottle openers and the Bke. Fortunately, family Christmas eustoms, engendered in genera­ tions past, will continue the blessed routine that carries through year after year. Friends will be remembered with cards; the familiar charities will, as al­ ways, hold their place; children will have their toys; family vis_ its will prevail, perennially. Best of all, religious customs will continue: the setting up of the home creche, entire famil3' re­ eeiving Holy Communion either at midnight Mass or at a Mass on Christmas morning.

In most houses there will be a Christmas tree, adorned with baubles from years past and a few new sparkles added.

This Christmas, perhaps, not only will family ties be stronger, but also those with other human beings.

Along this line, we should like to share with readers some thoughts written by Fra Giovan­ ni in 1513, equally applicable in 1963: "There is nothing 1 can give you which you have not;: but there is much that, while I can not give you, you can tak~~ - - ­ "'No heaven can come 'to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.

Revelation

Israel to Honor Father La Fa rge

The glory of the Lord shall be re­ vealed: and all flesh shall see the salva­ tion of our God.

NEW YORK (NC) The American Jew ish Committee has announced plans for a me­ morial in Israel to honor the late Father John LaFarge, S.J. Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, director of the committee's inter_ religious aHairs department, said a "Father John LaFarge Grove of Trees" would be estab. lished in Israel as a "permanent and living memorial in the Holy Land of this blessed priest and friend."

Rabbi Tanenbaum announced plans for the memorial in a statement paying tribute to Father LaFarge, longtime cham­ pion of better interracial and interreligious relations, who died Nov. 24. ' This John will be numbered in the company of those two other great souls, Pope John XXIII and President John F. Kennedy, all of whom Jewish tradition and Jewish people will ' honor," the rabbi said. .

Catholic interracial counci~ througthout the U. S. held spe­ cial services for Father LaFarge, widely known proponent of racial justice.

Seek to Force Vote on Prayer

Tass Comments On Council LONDON (NC)-The Soviet news agency Tass in a report on the closing of the second session of the ecumenical council in Rome said that the session "was unquestionably influenced by the assurances of the new Pope that he intends 'to continue the great cause begun by Pope John' and direct 'all effort toward pre­ .erving the great blessing of peace among people.'''

Tass' report, an English-lan­ guage dispatehfrom Rome, said that "during the session, Pope PauI called on " scientistl throughout the world 'not to turn science and its individual branches, specifically nuclear research with its most broad ap­ plications, into a threat, a night­ mare, a tool for destroying human life."

On the council itself, Tass said that "the session was marked by sharp disagreements between innovators,' supporters of the line of the late Pope John, and 'conservatives,' who were spur­ red to new activities following the Pope's death."

Commends Kennedy

Ideals to Nation

WASHINGTON (NC) - The Catholic Association for Inter­ national Peace has urged a con­ certed effort by Americans to live up to the ideals for which the late President Kennedy lived. ' The association said in a state­ ment that Americans "should not rest content with tangible and material monuments" to President Kennedy's memory.

"We can honor him even more by a concerted national effort to live up to the ideals for which he lived," the statement said.

"In particular, all citizens of good will should strive to root out from our midst the bitterness and hatred, the aura' of suspicion and distrust, that is qividing our nation in this criticilI hour."

To date, 120 Representatives have signed the discharge peti­ tion, while 218 signatures are needed. The proposed joint reso­ lution is designed to reverse through a Constitutional amend­ ment the U. S. Supreme Court decisions prohibiting recitation of prayers in public schools.

Father Howes said the group he represents is non-partisan, non-sectarian and, like other groups, has been striving for months to get some Congres­ sional action on the dozens of proposals for a Constitutional amendment.

Introduction of a petition seeking discharge of Civil Rights legislation from committee has spurred the Central Massachu­ setts Citizens group to renewed effort to get lawmakers to sign the petition to discharge the prayer amendment- from the Ju­ diciary Committee.

He is 37-year-old Walter Fla­ herty of Dorcester, who is not only leaving his present job on the Speaker's staff, but turning down an offer for a new, $18,000­ a-year post.

Flaherty said. here that when he read of Richard Cardinal Cushing's plan to open the Pope .John XXIII National Seminary, his interest in studying for the priesthood, which dates back to his college days, was rekindled.

German Fund Drive Fe,'r Latin America COLOGNE (NC) - The German Bishops have issued a joint pastoral to start Germany's third "Adveniat" fund campaign to help the Church in Latin Ameriea.

German Catholics were asked to give at least a tenth of· the

money they spend on Christmas gifts.

Touhey's Plharmacy 202 ROCK STREET - FALL RIVER

1. The Administrative Church. This is the Church in the developed and prosperous countries of the world, in which, thanks to material blessings, the emphasis is on service to the faithful - indeed spiri­ tual service - in such works as schools, hospitals, press, social works, parish "plants," etc.

2. The Can 0 n i c a I Church. This

Church is steeped in tradition and customs.

Here, the bishops, particularly, and the

priests live somewhat detached from the

people, giving profound spirituality to

those who practice the Faith, but worrying

little for those who do not practice, who

are as lost sheep.

3. The Poor Church. This is the largest group in the world, and is not bound by national limits. Here the bishops are like Our Lord on the Hill of Capharnaum surrounded by the hungry and by sheep without a pastor. The wealth in which the Church bond deals in souls. .

4. The Martyred Church. Here Our Lord relives His passion in vast areas - not only behind the Iron Curtain, but even in Northern Africa. One bishop told me of four of his priests being strangled last week. Two priests in one country and two in an­ other were sentenced to prison for three years for having trans­ lated one of my books into their languages. We read Mallll for their intention every Tuesday.

What is our role in the face of these four Churches? Since they 'are all parts of the Mystical Body of Christ we have to make blood circulate through this entire organism. The blood ia made up of aid to balance off our wealth, and above all, as St. Paul said, to "fill up in our Body the sufferings wanting to the Passion· of Christ."

Certainly Christ suffered enough in His Physical Body, but we, by self-denial, sacrifice, ·prayer and offering of ou~ tria~ for the Church everywhere, complete, in the Church, that Pas­ sion which Christ daily undergoee In the world. Sunday after SDilday, ·we· appeal to YOU t6' be more than Alnet'ican. to be truly Catholic. to love the Church .everywhel'e, to realize that 5Z collections a year for the parish aad a few second collection. a year for the Impoverished and bleeding Christ elsewhere are not enough.· During this Christmas season. we try to be. especially generous with others. Will you share your generosity with the Holy Father by sending a sacrifice to The Society for the Propa­ gation of the Faith?

GOD LOVE YOU to Mrs. M.F.W. for $10 "I promised the Lord that if He would give me the strength to wash my living room walls, I would send what it would cost to have the work done. The· walls never looked cleaner." * •• to V.M.V. for $35 "I wanted to. spend this money for a new slipcover for a chair~ but decided to send it for God's poor." • '" '" to Mrs. L.F.B. for $6 "This is one-tenth of what I earned for serving on the jury ia our country." .

MISSION combines the best features of all other, magazines: stories, pictures, statistics and details, human interest. Take aD interest in the suffering humanity of the mission world and send J'onr sacrifice along with a request to be put. on the mailing lis. of this bi-monthl7 magazine.

'WASHINGTON (N C) - A white Father missioner from -Africa said here that Ghana 80metimes is called a "Soviet satellite" but all of its schools teach religion as a part of their Wrriculum.

Father J. Alfred Richard, ,v.F., formerly of West Warwick, ~.I., and regional superior of the ,vhite Fathers serving in north­ ern Ghana and in Nigeria, said. that all of Ghana's schools are covernment-supported and su­ Pervised.

"Nevertheless," he said, "an ef. the students have a set period of _ religious Instruction every day. Priests and Sisters may come into the non-Catholic: .chools to teach theseclasse9.

Protestants also have their own eIasses even in the Catholic: .chools. If the pagan children don't want to go with either of ... these groups, the teachers must then give them a class of moral in8tr' :::tion."

Asks Church Help He said that in the northern regions where the White Fathers have been for years, teachers come to them for materials for the moral instruction classes. 'l'he ~overnment pays teachers' ealaries and supplies textbooks for all schools, he said.

"Although there are no pri­ vate schools as such," he said, "the government still looks to the Church for help in its efforts to provide education for all. The White Fathers were recently asked by the government to add 35 new classrooms to the school system in the Tamale diocese," be stated.

Native Heads See Of Puerto Rico PONCE (NC)-T.he Most Key. Luis Aponte Mar~ez, 41, the new Bishop of Ponce, is the :first native to become spiritual head of a diocese in Puerto Rico.

He succeeded Bishop Jamea E. McManus, C.SS.R., who dis­ closed here that because of :fail­ ing health he had 'resigned as Bishop of Ponce before Pope Paul VI appointed him to serve as an Auxiliary Bishop of New York. .

Bishop Aponte, a nativE~ of Lajas, was ordained to the pri.est­ hood on April 10, 1950. He was consecrated Bishop in 1960 and served as Auxiliary to BiBhop McManus until last April when he was named Coadjutor BiBhop with the right of succession•• Second Bishop He was the second Pu:erto Rican to become a bishop--the first was Bishop ~lejo Arizmen. di de la Torre, who served in South America 160 years ag j ) .

Auxiliary Bishop Juan de :Dios Lopez de Victoria of San Juan, P. R. who was consecrated early this year, is the third native of the island to become a member of the hierarchy.

ApproveNewman Apostolate Pia n WASHINGTON (NC) -Plana were approved here for raising $5 million for Newman Apostol­ ate activities in behalf of more than 600,000 Catholics attending secular colleges. ,The action was taken at a meeting of the board of trusteel of the National Newman Foun. dation. Three members of the Hierarchy attended the meeting: Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta, retiring episcopal mod­ erator of the National Newman Apostolate; Archbishop John P. Cody, Apostolic Administrator of the New Orleans archdiocese and chairman of the Youth De­ partment, Nati-onal Catholic Welfare Conference; and Auxil­ iary Bishop James W. Malone of Youngstown, Ohio, newly elected episcopal moderator of the Newman Apostolate.

A letter in English from Pope Paul VI was read at the meeting.

It expressed his approval of the Newman Foundation's activities and conveyed his blessings to 1he board of trustees.

Urge Acceptance Of Negroes DAYTON (NC) - Some- 60 Catholic and Protestant clergy­ men in three nearby Ohio com­ munities have called for acc,~pt­ ance of Negroes as neighbors "on the basis of Christian principles and common decency."

The clergymen made clear they expected segregated hllus­ ing to come to an end and pledged to work for racial jus­ tic in their communities of Oak­ wood, Kettering and Centerville, which have a total populatioJtl of about 75,000.

"When Negroes move into the south-of-Dayton neighborhoods, as they surely will," the state­ ment said, "there need not be panic or decline in real estate values. It is the duty of the Church to prepare for the ac­ ceptance of these persons on the basis of Christian principles and common' decency."

The statement also called "upon the people of the commu­ nity to develop programs of self-examination and action leading to justice in race rela­ tions."

Updating Philosophy Aim of Meeting CHICAGO (NC)-Updatinl~ of philosophy courses in Catholic colleges and universities will be the subject of a meeting of Cath. olic philosophy professors from five Midwest statess at DePaul University here tomorrow.

"It is time our philoso:phy courses reflect the fact that the world of Thomas Aquinas is not Our world and that his probl,~. are not ours," Gerard F. Kreyehe, head of DePaul's philosophy de­ partment, said, commenting on the meeting.

"Too often professors and lrtU­ dents shadow-box the ghost of the 13th century by continuing to wrestle with pseudo-probll~ml that nobody else bothers to cono; lider," he added.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The Senate has approved and sent to President Johnson a one-year extension of the controversial Mexican farm labor program amid indications that this may be its last lease on life. The House had pJ;eviously voted ex­ tension.

The program, under which Mexican workers called braceros are imported to work on U. S. farms, has long been a target of criticism by church and labor groups.

Critics of the program claim it exploits the Mexicans and puts American farm workers at a dis­ advantage

Jewish Leader Defends Record Of Pius XII

WASHINGTON (NC)-A nationally known Jewish leader has defended Pope Pius XII against the accusa­

The lor d hath rei 9 ned, He is clothed with strength, and ha.th girded Himself with power. Alleluia.

tion that ambition or expediency motivated him in his attitude 1;0 the nazi persecution of Jews.

"No one who reads the record of Pius XII's actions on behalf of Jews can subscribe to" this a(l­ cusation, says Dr. Joseph L. Lich. ten, director of the B'Nai B'RHh Anti-Defamation League's inter­ cultural affairs department.

Dr. Lichten says the assistanc:e rendered by Pope Pius in helping Jews escape from tbe nazis, hiding them, and pr(l­ viding for their material and spiritual needs was "of inesti­ mable value,"

Urges All-out Effort In Negroes' Behalf LOUISVILLE (NC) - "The Church must use all the means at her disposal to defend the Negro today, as she has done for immigrants in the past," Mat­ thew Ahmann, executive director of the National Catholic Confer­ ence on Interracial Justice, said at a forum here.

An extensive Catholic response to the Negro's plight, Ahmann said, demands increased efforts for joint Negro and white proj­ ects under Church auspices. He listed urban renewal and "open occupancy" in suburbia as spe. cific areas for Catholic cooper­ ation with other denominations.

Documented Pamphlet

The Jewish leader's analys:ls is contained in a heavily docu­ mE-nted 40 page pamphlet - "A Question of Judgment: Pius XII and the Jews."

The immediate occasion of the pamphlet is a controversial and widely publicized play, "The Deputy," by German author Rolf Hochhuth. Produced in several European countries, the play is scheduled for a Broad­ way production next year.

However, Dr. Lichten had all­ ready published in 1958 an article in the Anti-Defamation League Bulletin, "Pope Pius xn and the Jews," which out-, lined the aid given by the late Pope to the Jewish people all over nazi-occupied Europe. D:r.

Lichten has since been engaged in extensive research on the subject.

Extended to CatholiClll

Dr. Lichten puts "the case against Pius XII" in these wordll: "That as head of one of the mo!>1 powerful moral forces on earth he committed an unspeakable sin of omission by not issuing a formal statement condemning the nazis' genocidal slaughter of the Jews, and that his silence was motivated by reasons con­ sidered in modern times as baSEl: political exigency, economic in­ terests, and personal ambition," The case for the late Pope, he says, is: "That in relation to the insane behavior of the nazill, from overlords to self-styled cog" like Eichmann, he did everything humanly possible to save lives and alleviate sufferin,g among the Jews; that a formal statement would have provoked the nazis to brutal retaliation, and would substantially have thwarted further Catholic actiolll on behalf of Jews."

He says Pope Pius' "'silencE~' • • • extended to persecutions of Catholics as well."

This was seen as a consider­ able step back from the original provision which would have allowed expenditures "to con­ duct research into probleDlil of controllling population growth and to provide technical and other assistance to cooperating countries in carrying out pro. grams of population control."

BROOKLYN (NC)-The Jew· War Veterans of King6 County have expressed concern about possible showing of the play "The Vicar" which implies that Pius XII shares the guilt for nazi extermination of Jews.

Melvin M. Hurwitz, command_ er of the veterans' group, said showing of the play will serve no ul!eful purpose but will con­ tinue "the lie" about Catholics.

He also said "it is most urgent that all our citizens speak out and relate that' the Catholic Church has a record in evidence of helping all minorities, includ­ ing the Jews."

May the birthday of the Christ Child rekindle in man everywhere the flames of hope and peace, joy and brother­ hood. May we realize throughout the coming year the fulfillment of the great, inspiring promise of Christmas.

Aid to Public Schools Exclusively Menace to Existence of Others CINCINNATI (NC)-Massive Federal aid exclusively for pUb_ lic schools would "substantially imperil" the healthy existence of church-related schools..John C. Hayes, dean of the Loyola University School of Law, Chi­ cago, said here.

PLAIDLAND STORES OPEN EVERY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY, DEC. 23

University Natural Law Society, Hayes, a former president of the National Council of Catholic Men, cited Supreme Court de­ cisions in which he said "the FederaL government has vindi­ cated the basic constitutkmal rights of parents and children to choose to be educated in pri­ vate and church-related schools."

The same Federal government, therefore, he maintained, "ought not to initiate a program which, by excluding such schools with­ out constitutional necessity, 'sub_ stantially imperils their healthy existence and development."

On the contrary, according to Hayes, "compara1;>le aid ought to be afforded to those schools by including them in the Federal program in forms which are per­ missible under the Constitution as presently construed."

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Three non-Catholic leaders said here Pope Paul VI's trip to the Holy Land next month will 'promote the ecumenical movement and help 'in the renewal of the Church.

This view was expressed at a press conference by Archbishop Public-Purpos~ Services Iakovos of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South Among these "permissible" America; . the Rev.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice has branded laws against interracial marriage an invasion of individual rights and a denial of Catholic doctrine.

Without specifically advocat­ ing such marriages, the NCCIJ said "the right to decide to mar­ ry, and whom to marry, resides within the iridividual person."

Convention resolutions dealt with a wide range of civil rights issues, including one of the most sensitive of all, interracial marriage. " The NCCIJ "declared that laws against interracial marriage are an invasion of individual rights and promised to seek their over_

By Msgr. John S. Kennedy The late President Ken­ nedy has left a manifold legacy and many an en­ during and instructive mem­ ory to the country. Even as this is set down writers in the daily pap e r s a n'd­ magazines are analyzing the meaning and the accomplish­ ments of his life, and espe­ cially of his ca­ reer in public office. In the months and years to come, a far more pro­ found and crit­ ical interpretation will appear in book after book.This depart­ ment, concerned as it is with books, would now point out but one particular in President Ken­ nedy's example, and that has to do with reading.

By those who observed him closely, it agreed that he did more reading than any President since Wilson. He was a close reader of the daily press and of other periodicals. But so are many others in public life. He was also, and long had been, reader of books.

"The Catholic conscience con­ demns, abhors and rejects the underlying racist philosophy which speaks of racial inter­

marriage as 'depreciating a ra-

cial strain,'" the resolution said.

"Human persons are not cattle.

The Catholic dogma, revealed by God, of the unity of the human family cries out against this pagan ideology."

In another resolution the NCCIJ said Catholic social and fraternal organizations that prac­ tice discrimination should either change their policies or have their chaplains withdrawn and be disbanded.

From time to time there were press stories concerning his reading of the moment, and what impressed one was the range represented by the titles listed.

Style Discernible The results of such reading showed in various ways. For ex­ ample, in his public addresses.

It is true, of course, that he, like everyone in a similar posi­ tion, had speechwriters. But he himself worked diligently on every talk he gave, and his mind, his style were discernible in each.

Again, the results of Mr. Ken_ nedy's reading manifested them­ selves in his approach to the problems he had to handle. He was not narrow, doctrinaire, or simplistic.

He saw complications, impli­ cations, distinctions, nuances; he was humane and subtle.

Granted that he hewed to cer­ tain central convictions. He did not apply them mechanically, or mouth them as if they were magic.

Both rigid liberal and rigid conservative faulted him be­ cause he did not accede to the easy extremism of either. His was a mind informed and dis­ criminating, which surveyed the whole complex field before him and led him to pick his way carefully.

THE ANCHOR­ Thurs., Dec. 19, 1963

Redeemer

Fre·edom Rally Continued from Page One will be 80 teenagers and adults from the Williamston, N. C. area.

Rev. Harold Melvin, Fall River Episcopalian' minister recently jailed in Williamston fOr parti­ cipation in a protest against in. equalities in treatment of Ne­ groes, is' .responsible for the group's invitation to Fall River.

They are sponsored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. While in Mas­ sachusetts, they will stay at Packard Manse, Roxbury and will visit nearby communities, including Fall River.

Rev. Edmund Delaney, curate at Holy Name parish, Fall River, will act for the Bishop and head Catholic participation in the rally. Representatives of Jewish Bnd Protestant synagogues and churches are also lending sup­ port. The local NAACP unit is headed by Rev. Floyd Black, minister at Bethel AME church in Fall River.

In connection with the rally, NAACP members are seeking dinner invitations for the 80 Williamston citizens preceding the event. It is thought that this will give Fall River residents the opportunity of learning at first hand the situation in the South with regard to Negro equality.

Invitations are sought for one or two guests at each participa­ ting home. Guests will be picked up by hosts at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon at Bethel AME church, Hanover Street and will be brought to Sacred Heart audito­ rium by 7 to prepare for the rally.

Among members of the Homes Committee arranging invitations is Mrs. Walter Conrad of Holy Name parish, Fall River. Those wishing to extend hospitality can reach her at OSborne 4-6128.

Kennedy Scholarship PURCHASE (NC) - Manhat­ tanville College of the Sacred Heart has announced establish­ ment of a John Fitzgerald Ken­ nedy Scholarship Fund. Three gifts totaling $4,600 have been received as initial contributions.

The scholarship will be awarded to students with leadership abil­ ity who are in need of financial aid.

o God, who makest us glad with the yearly expecta­ tion of our redemp­ tion, grant that we who now joyfully receive Thine only­ begotten Son as our Redeemer, may also without fear behold Him coming as our Judge.

Jesuit Scientist Heads Academy NEW YORK (NC) - Father' John J. Lynch, S.J., an expert in the detection of earthquakes, has been name president of the New York Academy of Sciences, which was founded in 1817 and has a membership of 18,000.

The Jesuit priest, director of Fordham University's seismic station, was named to the post the· day before his 69th birthday.

He said he considered his ap­ pointment "a distinct honor."

The seismic observatory at Fordham is one of the most fa.., mous centers of earthquake study in the world. Besides his supervision of it, Father Lynch carries on a full program of teaching mathematics, physics and seismology.

In 1946 Father Lynch designed a seismic observatory for the Dominican Republic to give warnings of earthquakes. In 1951 he helped run seismic profiles in connection with • search for the tomb of st. Petor.
