JOLIET (NC)-The possibility of a merger of the College of St. Francis here and Lewis College, Lockport, Ill., is being consid ered.

Both college presidents, Brother L. Paul, F .S.C., of Lewis, and Sister Anita Marie, O.S.F., of S1. Fran cis, are on the committee. The colleges have worked Qut several cooperative programs this year, with students of each taking some courses at the other C'ollege.

Report Louisville Schools to Lose 100 Sisters

Thurs., Dec. 22, 1966

Ceylon Diocese Holds Synod

LOUISVILLE (NC)-Ele mentary schools in the Louis ville archdiocese will lose some 100 teaching Sisters next year. The move will reduce by .more than 15 per cent the number of teaching nuns in the See~s elementary schools. The situation could lead to m.ajor change in the schools, but just what the change will be is as yet undetermined. Arch diocesan school board members meeting here reportedly dis eussed dropping of a grade as one way to meet the problem. Superiors of six religious com munities which provide teaching Sist~rs met recently with Arch bishop John A. Floersh of Louis ville. A reduction in number of auns in classrooms was dis eussed. It was decided to inform the public of the situation at this time to allow time for planning IDe the 1967-68 school year. ·s tretehed Thin' Father Thomas P. Casper, as $istant secretary of -the arch diocesan school board, said loss of the Sisters will not take place until after the 1966-67 school "ear ends. The personnel of the teaching communities, Father (tasper said, have been "stretched thin" for several years, and a variety of problems are involved. Among the problems are nuns working past retirement age; nuns who are ill; the need for further education of teaching Sisters, and "other areas of com-. mitment," such as high schools, children's homes, hospital work and Confraternity of Christian Doctrine work. It is likely that other schools will join eight schools which dropped the first grade last Sep tember. Financial Pinch "It's certainly a possibility," Father Casper said. "I personally don't see how we can keep from some sort of curtailment of en

rollment."_ He stressed, that the board was considering the matter along with other problems. Another item discussed is the financial pinch apparently felt by the Sisterhoods. A national st'Udy by Religious superiors determined it cost more than $2,000 each year to provide for all phases of a teach hlg Sister's life. Communities with teachers in parochiai schools here get $1,000 each year for a teaching Sister.

THE ANCHOR-

KANDY (NC)-A synod to in. fuse the spirit of the Vatical1l Council in this diocese was held here on the initiative of Bishop Leo Nanayakkara, O.S.B., of Kandy, Ceylon. Kandy's first diocesan synod opened with a concelebrated Mass followed by six days of meetings and discussions at tended by parish priests and their assistants, representatives of religious orders, Sisters and members of the laity. The synod's resolutions will be forwarded to parish councils for suggestions and amendments and put in final form after consideration -at a second session to be held early next year.

Suddenly Piotrus had an idea. He whispered to the others. "It will be our secret," they all agreed.

Episco~al Bo~hop ROCHESTER (NC) - Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, widely known radio and television personality, author and former national di~ rector of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, was enthrone'd as the sixth bishop of Rochester at Sacred Heart Cathedral here. Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York, under whom Bishop Sheen haC: served as an auxiliary bishop for the past 16 years, was the enthroning prelate. Assisting was Bishop James E. Kearney, 82, whose retirement concluded 29 years as bishop of the diocese. The ceremonies were wit nessed by a capacity congrega tion of some 1,000 persons, in cluding many Catholic, Protes:. tant and Jewish clergymen. Seated in the sanctuary was Bishop George W. Barrett of the Episcopal diocese of Rochester. Other Protestant and Jewish

clergymen, together with· some archy, were seated in front pews of the cathedral. Government dignitaries present included Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson who repre sented Gov. Nelson A. Rockefel ler. Reading the apostolic letter by which Pope Paul VI appointed Bishop Sheen to the diocese was Msgr. George A. Cocuzzi, di ocesan notary. "Everything that you have so

tirelessly accomplished in the past, by deed and by the spoken word, to feed the sheep of Christ's flock has won for you universal acclaim," the papal letter read. "We now nourish the fond hope that in the future you will vigorously undertake even greater things." Following the enthronement ceremonies, Bishop Sheen con celebrated Mass with four di

., A Son .lsliiven TO Us'

of Mercy

VATICAN CITY (NC) The official Latin text of aD the Second Vatican Council'. eonstitutions and decrees, to

St. Paul wrote to his disciple, St. Titus: "But when the goodness and kindneHs of God our Savior appeared, then not by reason of good works that we did ourselves, but ac cording to His mercy, He saved us ..." The lesson of Chrfstm~f the crib, the straw, the' cold, the animals, the cave, the loneliness, the threat of Herod-the lesson of Christmas is this: the mercy of the Father to His childron, to those whom H.e created. At a certain moment in time, the Father creates a

soul and a human being is brought into existence. And the

wondrous mystery of this creation is the love of God for

what He has made. Such is His love that his Son, the

Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, annoirited humanity

for all time by taking to Himself a human body and soul

and becoming man.

The birth' of Christ, the life of exile on earth] the public 'life so filled with the indifference of others, the betrayal, the suffering, the cross, death-all these spell out for mankind in t}(e very Blood of Christ the love of the Father that He would deliver the Son for the salvation of all men. And they tell of the love of Christ, that He would shed the last drop of Blood for His brothers and sisters in need of God's pardon and mercy. The great mystery of Christmas is the mystery of mercy. It is the mysiery of the love of God for those who are so often unlovable, the mercy of God to those who'de-' serve it so little, the gift of God-His Son-to those who are so unmindful of the majesty of such a Gift.

Third Mass of Christmas entrance song: "A child is The calendar year hurtles to' a close and almost as born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulders dominion rapidly do autoists seom to be hurling themselves or others, rests; and his name shall be called the angel of great coun into eternity. The statistics on automobile a~cidents and sel" (Isaiah 9 :6). Drawing by Father Arthur J. King, O.M.I. fatalities 'have risen at a truly alarming rate here in the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the combination of

wintery weather and fast-approaching holidays seems to

promise a record death rate for the current year. Hardly

a thing for the citizens of the State to be proud of. And

yet-they alone can do something about it.

It is strange how a youth will not be trusted to make

all sorts of serious decisions, will not be allowed to parti

cipate in all kinds of community offices. Anq yet this same

youth is licensed at the age of sixteen to drive a couple

of tons of steel and glass and ever-present danger and

potential death. It does not occur to most parents to deny

him this privilege, or to restrict it or to supervise it. In

deed, many a mother is wOFking in a shop to pay for a

child's car or insurance.

The always thought-provoking Harry Golden - the editor of the newspaper with the highly unlikely name of The' Carolina Israelite--has suggested a novel answer as to what to do about the mass slaughters by the recklessly and carelessly driven automobile. Quoting another newspaper friend of his, he sugg-ested that the car, be put in jail in stead of the driver. A brilliant and pJ'actical solution! Many an otherwise sane person becomes a monster behind the wheel of a car. And even if this person were put in jail he would not be deeply affected but would spend the time dreaming of the 'nice shiny car waiting comfortably for his return. So why not put the car in jail. If the driver were home and the automobile were impounded, think of th~ results! It might be worth a try.

Decrees" Official Text Published ~ounCIl

Now at this time Caesar A-ugustus issued a decree for a census of the whole world to be taken. This census-the first-took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to his own town to be registered. So Joseph set ou't from the town of Nazareth in Galilee and traveled up to Judaea, to the town of David, called Bethlehem, sinc~ he was of David's House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed,' who ,was with child. While they' were there the time came for her to have her child, ~nd she gave birth to a son, her first born: She wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger bec~use tpere was, no room for them at the inn. I!1 the countryside close by there were shepherds who lived in the fields and took it in turns to watch their flocks during the night. The angel of the Lord appeared . tp them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified" but the angel said, '''Do not be afraid. Listen; I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the w}lole people. Today' in the town of David a saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling' clothes and lying in a manger." And suddenly with the angel there was a 'great throng of the heavenly host, praising God and singing: "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace to men who enjoy his favour."

gether with explanatory notes, has been published by the Vati can Polyglot Press. At a press conference Arch bishop Pericle Felici, secretary general of the council and of the post-conciliar Central Commis sion, said the new volume of 1,296 pages is the only official edition of the council's docu ments. He noted that the texts of the documents which have appeared in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, the only publication of the Holy See which normally is claimed as official, are those which were prepared under the supervision of his commission for this vol ume. The book, which will be sent to all council Fathers as the Pope's personal gift, is composed of two main parts. The first con sists of ,the texts of all constitu tions and decrees, plus explana ,tory notes. The second contains the principal documents closely related to the council, such as the decree opening the cpuncil and the one closing it, 21 in all. In addition, there is an ana lytical index in Latin. The text of the decrees is re ported in the genuine form i.a which it was approved by the council and in which it appeared or will appear in the Acta Apos tolicae Sedis. This avoids some errors which occurred when the decrees were published in L'Os servatore Romano, Vatican City daily. Another book prepared by the council's general secretariat which will be soon sent to the council Fathers is "Fathers Pres ent at the Second Vatican Coun cil,"listirig by name and session the 3,059 council Fathers. Daily attendance is not reported but only which of the four sessions they attended.

Propose Changes mn Nuns' Role DETROIT (NC) - Proposed changes in Church law designed to give nuns a greater role in achieving the goals of Vatican Council II are being submitted to Rome by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph M, Breitenbeck of Detroit. Vicar for Religious communi ties in the archdiocese, Bishop Breitenbeck was guided by de cisions reached at a provincial! conference attended by 38 major superiors of communities of Sis ters serving in Michigan. Eight proposals arising out Of the sessions, held at Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, Mich., are being submitted to the Commis sion for Revision of Canon Law in Rome. They concern the nuns' role in the liturgy, in the aposto late, in providing resources, in the area of spirituality, in priest Sister dialogue, in general imple mentation oi conciliar decrees and in the use of Church person

nel. Commissions of nuns are being set up in each of the eight areas. Participation will be on a volun tary basis rather than by assign ment through a superior. The superiors came from motherhouses in Maryland, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michi~an.

Court Rule Fans Storm Over Nuns A~

Texas PubUc

BOERNE (NC)-An appellate <iX>urt has ruled that two BenCi! G1ictine nuns teaching in public schools here in Texas are re Cilluired to give sworn depositions Gloncerning a complaint about ~hem wearing religious garb in e.lassrooms. The Fourth Court of Civil Ap peals ruling upheld a decision of District Court Judge Charles Sherrill here. The decision came in the wake of an apparent anti-Catholic campaign which has been build ing up in this hill country area Dome 50 miles from San Antonio. wm i\PP<ell>l The nuns involved are Sisters '.iI'heckla and Henrietta Marie. Their attorney, Pat Maloney of San Antonio, announced he will striv"! to have the case transfer ll'ed to federal court and, if nec essary, carry his appeal against the District Court order to the U. S. Supreme Court. Led by the Rev. George Mc Williams, a Baptist minister, a group of Boerne residents com plained to the Boerne School Board against the nuns' wearing religious garb while teaching in public school classrooms.

The residents claimed ~he sworn deposition was needed to complete their case, On Oct. 7, the resident filed suit in the Dis trict Court asking the nuns be required to execute depositions concerning their religious garb and beliefs. Maloney takes the position that none has the right to ques tion the nuns concerning their religion, vows of poverty and re lated matters. He said this would violate "the basic philosophy and constitutional rights of the individual to freedom of speech, conscience and religion." The case promises to be a mar athon proportion. After the ac tion regarding the depositions is settled in the courts, the matter then must go back to the Boerne School Board. Then, if necessary, it must be pursued through the educational system chain of command up to the State Board of Education to exhaust all legal remedies before further court action can be taken. Even this lengthy proce dure could be delayed if Ma loney is successful in getting the depositions issue into the federal courts.

[?@[p)@ ~ VO~OU'@7 VATICAN CITY (NC) - Th<l approaching visit of Russian President Nikolay Podgorny to Italy in January has stirred questions as to whether the So viet head of state would be re ceived in a papal audience by Pope Paul VI. In answer to the question sub mitted in a press interview, Msgr. Fausto Vallainc, TTatican press officer, repeated the an swer he had given at an earlier press briefing: "The Pope will recei ve those who request to visit him unless there are very special reasons for not doing so." said the Vati can official without elaborating further.

Philadelphia Catholic Schoo~s F@~e Loss of lay T ®@~her!) PHILADELPHIA (NC) - A number of lay teachers may be forced to leave the secondary schools of the Philadelphia archdiocese unless salaries are increased next year, a spokesman for the teachers said here. John Murray, president of the Association of Catholic Teachers, said the situation is reaching crisis proportions because archdiocesan officials have not recommended increases. He did not identify the officials. M s gr. Edward T. Hughes, archdiocesan superintendent of schools, said he did not wish to comment on Murray's remarks until he received a copy of them. He added that Murray notified him that he planned to release the information to the press. 'Far Behind' · t 0 M urray, many A ccord mg teachers have been forced to resign in the past "due to economic reasons, an d h ave moved t 0 other school systems or to other fields." The reason, he said, is that the salaries of Catholic high school teachers lag far behind those of other systems. The present salary schedule, he stated, sets minimums of $4,300 for women and $4,500 for men, and maximums of $7,300 for women and $7,500 for men who have masters' degrees and 20 or more years experience. It is reported that PhilaC:elphia public school teachers now make a minimum salary of $5,800 which will be increased to $6,100

next year. There is only one schedule for men and women. The maximum salary is $11,200 for teachers with doctorates and 15 years in the system. Propos<e Schedule Murray said the teachers association has proposed a revised salary schedule which would "still leave a significant dispart 'jty" between salaries of Catholic and of public high school teach ers. He added that the revised schedule would, however, be of great help in encouraging many competent teachers to remain in the Catholic school system." Murray said the association serves more than 400 teachers in the Philadelphia area as a pro fessional society, and also as their- representative in relations with archdiocesan school offi cials. He. said the association "is not a UnIon, and has not formu-. l?ted any pla~s to take any ?c tlOn of a coercIve nature to rem f' f" a} o;ce ~ts request or addItIon sa ary.

Cittes AccreditaticWll Of Catholic Schools WASHINGTON (NC)-Recent accreditation of 13 more Catholic high schools has been cited by an official of the National Catholic Educational Association as a sign of increasing professionalism in Catholic education. According to Brother Anthony Wallace, F.S.C., evaluation con sultant of the NCEA, there has been a "marked emphasis" on ac creditation during the past dec ade and the growing number of schools being accredited shows the results. "While accreditation of and by itself may not indicate excel lence in a school," Brother An thony said, "it does indicate that the school is striving for excel lence."

Many,Changes Needed If. Mom

Decides to Return to Work

By Mary Tinl~y Daly A family joke my sister and I still chuckle over started when we returned to our patrenal home in the mid west and met a former neighbor. "Now let me see," she said. "Which one of you has the big family and which one works ?" GoodnesB knows, any woman rearing a big cakes will bow out in favor of family cannQt be considered "bought" bakery goods, There will be more readymade clothing among the world's drones. than when Mom was going full

.Her work, incessant, never seems finished. There are the same dishes to be washea all over again the same fl 0 0 rs to be vacuumed and scrubbed, an endless parade of meals, oceans of laundry suds, mountains of i ron i n g and mending, and a perpetual emer gency room to be maintained for scratches, bruises, bumps, broken bones and hUl't feelings. Statisti~s compiled every now and then in women's magazines give a breakdown of the dollar value of a housewife's duties statistics based on current wage rates and adding up oftentimes to more than her husband earns. She may be "saving" $1.25 an hour as cook, laundress, cleaner; $3 an hour as nume; $2 as chauffeur, seamstress, gardener, decorator; and a you-name-it sum as child-psychiatrist. Such statistics may deliver a momentary consolation kick. to the homemaker, but they have no real meaning sincE she's' not in business for the money. Her rewards are greater, more intan gible, have no place on an in come tax form nor in ordinary conversation. She knows wheth er she is doing her job right, or whether she isn't. Conscience is guide here. : Comes a time in family life, increasi~gly so nowadays, when a mother.inay seek work outside the home, either full-time or .part-time, a decision to ·be made in good conscience by each indi vidual family. F'amily cooperation is essen tial. at this stage,::a cooperation that may develop a unifying spirit in. the family. If the mother is willing' to work, help meet soaring educational costs, .higher standard of living or sur vive a financial crisis, t'verybody needs to pitch in and relieve her of part of the housekeeping burden. Meals will of necessity be sim pler, though probably more costly. There is scant timc after a 5 or 5:30 P.M: return home for concocting .those nutritious and' money~saving casserolt,s. Home made bread, rolls, cookies and

speed ahead at her full-time homework. Transportation costs must figure in, also lunch money and more frequent trips to the beauty parlor. There are lots of factors to be considered when mother's return to work is contemplated. The growing number of working mothers, however, seems to in dicate that these pros and cons can be juggled successfully in an understanding milieu. Mother herself, reentering the schoolroom, the shop, the office, does so initially rather nervously. Are her skills too rusty for the competition? Will her personal ity project proper impact? Will experienced co-workers accept her? And, femininely important, does she have the right clothes? ''Va'tdrobe Important ProbalJly not, on the last score. Those cotton housedresses might as well be pushed to the back of the closet, kept strictly for Saturday mornings. Out-dated suits, adequate for the super market, become embarrassingly conspicuous in a business office; "afternoon" dresses that were completely at home elsewhere look fussy in a workaday setting. An "advance" on the first couple of paychecks will prob ably be necessary to outfit the new employee so she will fit comfortably inlo her accustomed environment.

Most Wanted Yule Gift

Collect Pennies For Missions

By Joseph and MarHyn Roderiek . As anyone who deals with children knows, this is the tame of yeaT when they are continually making out Christ mas Ii~ts in the hope th~t someone will get them many of the thmgs they would lIke Santa to bring them. Well we are a little too 01<;1 for toys ' and I supose we have come anyone with little children un

to realize that the gifts we derfoot knows, it's almost impos really need cannot be bought sible to cook decently with a 14 lin stores, so we ten'd to think of our gift list in terms of the unattainable. The following are a few suggestions which Santa Claus may work on for a year and have ready for next Christmas. (1.) A silent lawn mower-at the present time we have an electric mower and nothing could be more noisy. Oh, the poor neighbors, who have to listen to this monster at least once a week. (2.) An edgeless lawn-this. is one of those unattainable things which would make gardening a great deal easier. Of all the chores I perform in the garden, trimming the lawn is the most irksome. (3.) Water-in this area we have been suffering fro m .drought for three years and it seems that it is just about time that we have a reversal of form. It will' be a pieasure once again to spend.a cool hour or so on hot Summer nights watering the garden. (4.) A 40g repellent which works-this snould· be harmless to children, to other animals and to dogs. Nothing seems to raise more havoc in my garden tban dogs, but at the present there is nothing that can be done about them. (5.) An automatic raker-this .ahould be a machine which not only sweeps. up leaves and debris but which also gathers up fallen fruit, When we were children there w~ren't many apples· or pears left on the ground because' the little hard objects were such good ammunition, but today it seems that fallen fruit refuses to disappear and one must spend a great deal of time gathering it up for disposal for use in the kitchen (my idea of futility is to sit under the apple tree salvaging bits and pieces of fallen apples for applesauce). (6.) A sprayer which doesn't block - I should hate to c~unt *he hours I have spent unblock": iIig my sprayer. No matter how one tries there is always some bit af debris, which becomes llodged in the nozzle, necessitating a complete dismantling job. (7.) More time in the day-my llist would not be complete without mention of this last item. There just doesn't seem to be enough time to do what has to !De done in a garden or if there is the time, there isn't the energy. In the Kitchen A long as the male half of this ilWlumn is making out his Christmas list, I'll add a few requests of my own. I certainly don't want to be left out in the cold when that jolly little man with the white beard comes sliding down our chimney. (1.) A bottomless cookie jar when we were first married a (OOuple of dozen freshly baked eookies at least had a chance 00 ll'eside in our cookie jar a day or two. Now: the children are eat:' mg them directly off the 'cookie sheets, distributing them to friends and ~cquaintances, and fun general disposing ',of4hem ~':" fore they even get a chance to ~ool. I don't really mind except that I like cookies'too.· ". (2.) An automatic baby tender -this bit of as yet uninvented machinery would watch and !lmuse, .rl;lsoP wpil~ t .wasl~ th~. meals and cleaned the house. As

month old in the kitchen. I can never remember whether I had ~lready put the baking powder 111 the cake batter when I'm dis rupted by one of his many ex ploits such as trying to drink a bottle of our favorite liqueur. (3.) One day alone in the kitchen-This day would just be for cooking (no cleaning, of course) with no interruptions, no between meal snacks or glasses of water for the hordes which troop through the kitchen. and with a complete supply of food so that no matter what I ~vante~ to try ~ would have the mgredlents, Are you listening

to this, Joe?

(4.) A family with the same

food likes anc dislikes-I made up my mind long ago that I would not cook different things for different people at the same meal. but it would be nice to serve Meryl her pancakes and bacon without s~~eing Melissa start a hunger strike. (5.) Time to change into washable 'casual clothes before

landing in the kitchen - the

period of time between work and meal preparation being al

most nil, I invariably end up

wiping my greasy hands on the

skirt that just got back from the

cleaners,

(6.) ,And finally a request that·

goes hand in hand with Joe's . for time and more time. Time

and energy to read all the books . )"Ol! want to read, sewall the .

clothes you dream of and time'

and energy for the hundred and . 0]12 little projects that aren't· really necessary but add so much to life,.

He continued, "How often do : we gi ve people a new chance at 'llie only at the expense of hu ; man dignity?

. By lRt. lRev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy . When 'Thomas Merton entered a monastery some 20 years ago, he did not disappear from general view, as do most monk'S. Or at least if he did not continue to be seen in the great world, he most certainly continued to be 'heard. From his retreat there has poured a stream of books. that God offers us, without con The books have been of var sulting the rest of the world?" From his monastery, Father ious soHs, and of various de 'Merton perceived many things,

grees' of excellence. The latest,

as this is written, is Conjectures

of a Guilty Bystander (Double

day. $4.95. 501

Franklin Ave.,

Garden Cit y ,

N . Y. 11531),

which is not

easy to catego

rize or to eval

uate. A two

and-a-half page

introduc

tion starts right

off by saying

what the book

is not. The nay,

saying continues throughout the

introduction.

The contents, it develops, are drawn from notebooli,s, kept since ,1956 and "add up 1.0 a per sonal version of the world in the 1960s." The excerpts from the notebooks are not pre'sented in chronological order :md evi-, dently have been' ~ou('hed up. At any rate the author notes, ",I added, man y new thoughts throughout.;' Bits and Pieces A wide range of topic; is con sidered, glancingly in some cases,' at greater length in otlwrs. Ecu Jilenism, racial conflict, the atomic 'age, Communism' are among the subjects discussed. A great many writers are drawn upon, from Fathers of the Church to contemporary French novelists. Monastic life in itself and in relationship to the world today is critically examilled.Life in Father Merton's own monas tery is glimpsed. ' There are impressionistic bits and pieces: e.g., of the Kentucky' countryside 'at one or another season, of people in' a home for the aged, of d'reams. In short, this is an omnium' gatherum. As ,such, it is, as need hardly be said, uneven. The unevenness is found both in the thought and in the expression. At times, the author has something dear to say, and says it clearly. At other times, his thought is cloudy, and 110 are his words. From his very first book, 'he has tended to prolixity, and t~is fault he has never mastered. He has written too much, and the result 'has been a fe.w first rate books among a good ma'llY of the weedy kind. The present work epitomizes his whole output. Wisdom of .~iDlr For my own taste, a favorite theme found thro\lghou.t these notes is that of the wi!:doni of being and accepting oneself. "It is often more perfect, to do what is simply normal'. and human than to try to act like an angel when God does nof'will' it. That 'is, when 'there is no,'nee,l for it,' except in the stubbo,rn passion of our own impatieri,\:e with our selves * ...... Truth is minE' in the reality of life as it iii given to me to live'" * * To leave, everything to the superiors in"Uiis Hfe and' to God in the' next - a hope which may in fact-' be 'nothing but a veiled despair; a refusal to live * . . ...' , "Why then do w~, persecute ourselves with illusory d,~mands;, ' never, content until' we feel we have conformed to' 'some stand ard of happiness that is not good for us only, but for ev,~ryone? Why can we not be content with the secret gift of the happiness

bad and good, about our ti~ of which, to our cost, we may flot be adequately aware. He ob serves, for example that ours is an age of extermJnation, of the deliberate wasting of men. On the other hand he sees the possi bility of Christ's presence to the unbeliever, the fact that some men who " 'cannot believe' are. nevertheless, somehow mysteri ously, encountering Christ * * 0 It is an anonymous and unknown Christ who comes in merciful hiddeness to the distraught pil grim, as he did to the travelers t,o Emmaus." Monastery Sermons Father Merton does not hesi tate to make some uncomplimen tary observations about what goes on in his monastery. Thus the reading in the refectory seems frequEmtly to annoy him; both as to what is be~ng read and th~ manner of the reading., Regarding sermons, he tells us; "Father John of the Cross is one "of the few men iil this monastery who have anything to say in ~ sermon. When it is his turn to preach, everybody listens." Not so different from parochial ex"; perience is it? But then there is a rather long and perfectly fashioned piece about old Brother Gerard,' the basket maker, which catches' the tranquil simplicity of the place at itS best. However, Father Merton de claresthat "traditional Western ,monasticism since the Middle Ages has been completely over burdnened with cultural and ritual usages and with forms and practices - (e.g., interpretations of obedience!)' - which have come to stifle the Spirit, though they were ,useful for keeping monasticism going as an institu tion." Acute Comments 0;1 that mat,ter of obedience, ,"I wish religious life were less of a perpetual cold war; on a very amiable level of course; be- . tween subjects and superiors usually over nothing but' niceties of . observ'ance: whether the 'h~ds should be up or down when we listen to reading in the refectory, 'and other little propri eties that ,mean nothing!" More useful for the general reader' are acute comments on religion; " 'Religion,' in the sense of something emanating from man's nature and tending to God, does not really change man or sa"e him, but brings him into a false relationship with God: for a religion that starts in man is nothing but man's wish for him self '" .,. ''His wish' terminates not in God but :in himself. This is no more thaJ'i. the religion of those who wish themselves to be in a cedain state in which they can live with themselves, approve of themselves:' 'for they feel that, when they can approve. of them- ' selves, God 'is' at peace with them." " There is much iii this book to shake us out of complacency and rouseconcern for geriuiiie reli gion in our own lives. There is much' else which casts a novel light on events and trends of our era. More rigorous editing would have made the fine things stand out more sharply and effectively.

The union's letter said: ~ 'would appear logically inevita ble to conclude that all fonTIs oJZ Christmas celebration in the public schools are in some de gree a violatiol1 "''''''', "Many of the most importaM Christmas carols are highly re garded precisely because of their profound religious message. Dis plays and pageants of the NatiY ity scene are similarly definite expressions of faith. , Hanukkah celebrations and the use of Christian symbols were also listed as "not materially dU 'ferent from other forms of prayer in the schools" and there fore "constitutionally forbidden.'" The letter signed by the ACLU's local chairman Bernard A. Berkman, condeded that Christmas music can' have "musi cal importance or secular cultu 'ral significance" that permits its use in school concer~s. '

--i

At last it was nearly Christmas. It was time to finish the secret project.

IYIiss Edna Horrocks, ,schc;>ol spokesman, said the area's schools have played down Christmas celebrations and that no unified guideline~ had been handed down.

MADISON ,(NC)-The ~ turg-ical movement is the pri mary instrument whereby G2parated Christians can oome to know a real unity in the <me Lord, Q prominent Anglic8lJlll l'.1turgist said here in Wisconsin. The Rev. Dr. Massey H. Shep ~erd, Jr., discussed the liturgy cs the means of Christian unity m an inter-faitb clergy dialogue at St. Benedict Center for <Christian Unity. "The greater the degree to which separated Christians can ohare and participate-if only by @leir presence--in one another's Iaturgical traditions, the more I?eadily they will discover how much they are united in tbeir \;;1orship," he said. This unity, be continued, is based on the reality that Christ t;; at the center of worship in ail denominations and thus the li turgical fundamentals uniting <Christians are far greater than the peripheral things on which i:hey disagree. Point of Meeting' Dr. Shepherd, who has been among the Protestant observers at the plenary sessions of the Liturgical Commission in RGme established after VaticlUl., Coun dl H, said there is much in ahe council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy which provides "'a real point of meeting for those ~ us who have been unhappily lIeparated from our Roman brethren for several centuries." He cited the concept of the liturgy as the act of the Body elf Christ and the frequent use frf .the phrase "Pascbal Mystery" ~ describe the complex afthe Church's corporate worship, !IS most imPortant to Protestant churches. , These concepts, he said, "win get us out of the rigidly scholas tic, overly refined way of defin ing the liturgy that has corne from the medieval period and which was the source of contro -.ersy in the Reformation."

Rabbi, Minister Attend Annual Exercises in Texas SAN ANTONIO (NC) ~ "A different kind of dialogue." This was what Rabbi David Jacobson of Temple Beth El here termed his participation in a re treat, the annual Ave Maria ex ercises at St. Joseph's Retreat house, San Antonio. The Ave' ,Maria retreat was "a different kind of dialogue" with a real difference in that Rabbi Jacobson joined Auxiliary Bish oj) Stephen A. L~ven. of San An tonio and Dr. Ted Richardson, San Antonio, executive secretary of ,the Southwest Texas Confer,. ence of the Methodist Church in a program aimed at strengthen ing the bonds of ecumenism. Rabbi Jacobson said the Cath oIlc retreats are:.being emulated by other religions because the "religious, psychological and his torical" origins of retreats are "so very deep in the past and the, ,needs of the present."

Rabbi Jacobson cited the "brot.herhood" preached by the late Pope John XXIII and said that retreats are not for detached and aloof meditation but for a greater knowledge of the whole communuity of man. . Dr. Richardson said the retreat was a "new dimension of ecu menism we like." The Methodist minister cited instances when priests .had attended Methodist retreats and how the Methodist groups had held retreats in the past at .St. Joseph's.

LOS ANGELES (NC) The Catholic bishop:-; of Cal ifornia joined in strong con demnation of proposals to legalize abortion in the state and caned on all men to "preser.ve and care for the ~ight to life of the unborn child." In a statement sign'~d by all 12 of California's bishops, the Catholic spiritual le~\ders re minded that "directly intended abortion is utterly opposed' to the law of God's, to the dignity of the human person, and to the well being of society." They declared that "the pro posals for direct abortion stand contrary to the law of God as well as the laws of men." Proposals to broaden the state's current anti-abortion laws to allow therapeutic abortions for varied reasons have been supported by several groups in cluding the California Medical , Association. Such proposals have been made, the bisj10ps said, by, those : who "desperately wish to evade the charge that the taking of' fetal life involves the slaying of an innocent human b.eing." :,: ' 'Worthy of Resp{'c~ , .) "Usually they plead," the bish ,iops continued, "that the unborn" "child is not a human being and :,hence has no right to life or that l'lIlot all 'persons are "entitled' ,:'~~quallY to life.

forms 'Interfaith Corporation' With Seven Protestant" Churches BALTIMORE (NC)-A Catho nic parish here has entered into DVI "interfaith corporation" with s eve n neighboring Protestant ehurches in a move to help peo ple from the area in educational, social and economic matters, and to rejuvenate community life especially in the churches. St. Ann's parish here has found its congregation rapidly dimin ishing, according to Father Wil liam Burke,- an assistant at the parish. St. Ann's is in a neigh borhood that was 80 per cent Catholic; now it is about 10 per cent Ca~holic, he said. Most of the Protestant churches in the area have also found themsel ves with "absentee con gregations," since ,most of their members now live in the sub:" urbs. At the same time, the area is largely inhabited by people in a low-income bracket, with little or no training for an occupation. Under the new corporation, it was reported, all the churches involved are combining re sources to help alleviate these problems and to reactivate com munity spirit. St. Ann's, for ex ample, is "offering to the com mon group the services that we offer here in the parish," Father BUJ'ke stated. These services include a teen ,age recreation program and an ,adult education program, he said. ,.A teacher is paid and provided

"It is just a beginning," Father Burke declared, "but we offer something to each capacity. We are naturally interested in prob lems concerning jobs for these people." St. Ann's has also opened its Saturday morning Bible school to non-Catholics. Father Burke stated that out of the 70 to 100 who attend, approximately 50 are non-Catholics. Father Burke descdbes his purpose in this endeav'or as an "effort to combine the work of the Conl'Taternity of Christian Doctrine and to reach non-Catfl olics. I see it as a very good means of furthering the work of Church."

PORTLAND (NC) - The first nun to head the Na tional Conference of Catholic Charities fired a critical bar rage here at the Office of Eco ll10mic Opportunity's war on pov erty for hiring too many" people of good will" and not enough professionally trained social workers.

As a result, she said, the OEO is . unable to evaluate. it; pro grams properly. She added: "People of good will can do cer tain jobs, but professional work erS should come more into the picture.

Cardinal Cushing £M~rJ»@ffil'~ Appe@~ F@ff ~@vo®tT J®w~ BOSTON (NC)-In an ad dress at the Temple Ohabei Shalom here Richard Cardi nal Cushing sharply criti cized the U.S.S.R. for depriving Soviet Jews of the freed.om from persecution which "is their own declared policy for the peoples of their country." The Cardinal said that jot is "fitting. that Christians join with their Jewish neighbors during the feast of Hannukah in "seek ing the freedom of the oppressed Jewish community in the Soviet Union." He noted that official Soviet - policy has "initiated and encour aged" the erosion of Jewish reli gious and cultural institutions in the U.S.S.R. The Cardinal reminded his listeners that the second largest Jewish community in the world lives within the borders of the Soviet Union. (The largest is in the U.S.) Citing repressive measures used to suppress Judaism in the U.S.S.R., he praised the Jews for the "increased vigor and endur ing life" they have demonstrated in the face of adversity. 'No ll'ersecutiolll' In an appeal to the Soviet gov ernment, the Boston Cardinal said: "For decades they have boasted that there is no persecu-', tion of religion in their land: let them be true merely to what they have claimed for themselves." Rabbi Manuel Saltzman, spir itual leader of Congregation Kehillath Israel of Brookline and president of the Massachu setts, Board of Rabbis, in another talk at Temple Ohabei Shalom noted that wide support has been given the Jewish protest against Soviet policy and the demand that the Soviet Union's Jews be allowed to live "creatively" as J'ews. Dr. Forrest L. Knapp, Massa chusetts Council of Churches general secretary, told the con gregation in the temple that "cultural genocide" in Soviet Russia is well documented. The problem is greater than at any other time, in any other spot in history, he declared.

Interfaith Goal One Catechism , DAMASCUS (NC)-Three vol umes of a new common cate chism written for use by all Christians have appeared here. It is designed to serve the Cath~ olics, 'Protestants and Orthodox who live in this predoD.1inantly Moslem country. Drawn up by a commission of experts appointed by the leaders of various churches, the new catechism replaces one intro duced when Syria was united with Egypt and later criticized as having a strongly Protestant tone. In subjects where d'enomina tions differ concerning points of doctrine, a compromise wording is insel;ted in the text with spe eific explanations and interpre tations added in footnotes.

Observe Centennial of Authenticated Miracle Recalls Cure of Sacred Heart Novice Dying of Cancer GRAND COTEAU (NC)"-The centennial of an authenticated mil'acle which occurred here has been commemorated at the Academy of the Sacred Heart where it occurred. The miracle brought a cure in December, 1866, to Mary Wilson, a novice in the Religious of the Sacred Heart, who was dying of cancer. 'It was one' of two miracles accepted' :£01' the canoni zation'in 1888 of St. John Berch mans, S.J., a' Jesuit scholastic, who died at age 22 in 1621. , Illness' Disappears ' Father 'Sam Hill Ray, S.J., who. preached' the M,ass sermon, recalled it was the Jesuits who suggested'to the Reiigious of the Sacred Heart they make a no vena to St. John Berchmans on behalf of Miss Wilson, who was near death. On the ninth day of the no

.'.

vena, Father Ray recalled "ab solutely all hope had been given up for the recovery of Miss Wil son. She had been annointed the day before," he said. "The nun who had remained with Miss Wilson through the night left the sickroom briefly to receive Com munion at the community Mass. Wheri she returned she found Miss Wilson sitting up, declaring she was well, wanting something to eat. Miss Wilson said Blessed John Berchmans had appeared to her, placed something on her tongue and told her she would get well. Instantly all traces of the illness dIsappeared." Accepted in' Rome "When th" ,doctor ,came an hour or so later," Father Ray continued, "Miss Wilson met him downstairs and the doctor de clarej: 'Nothing I have done has cured

you.' The account of the cure, signed by Miss Wilson, the nuns and the doctors who attended her, was accepted in Rome as one of the two first class miracles for the canonization of St. John Berchmans. Also taking part in the cen

tennial Mass, as the lay l'eadert1f1 the Epistle, was Mayor John Olivier of Sunset, La. Mayor Oli vier's grandfather, Dr. Toul min Tarlton, was one of two doc tors who attended Miss Wilson. After Miss Wilson's cure, Dr. Tarlton, an Episcopalian, became a Catholic.

NEW YORK (NC)-A "Collo quium on Judaism and the Church School," held at Mary mount Manhattan College here, fostered new ecumanical rapport between the two religious groups.

PartiCIpants ex:changed vIew~ on what parochIal schools are doing-and not doing-to pre sent an accurate picture of Jews in order to combat anti-Semit ism. Father Edward H. Flannery, editor. of the Providence Visitor, author of "The Anguish of the Jews" and administrative assist ant of the U. S. Bishops' Sub committee on Catholic-Jewish Relations, said that the charge of

Jewish guilt for the Crucifixioo was the "root cause" of anti Semitism in ancient times. Dr. Martin A. Cohen, noted Jewish historian maintained that the chilrge that Jews have always been persecuted by Cath olies is a myth. The colloquium was sponsored by the Catholic School Board of the Archdiocese of New York, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the Meiropoli tan Council of B'nia B'rith.

Fr. de Pauw Sti.1I

TH.E ANCHORThurs., Dec. 22, 1966

Diocesan Prie$t Of Baltimore

Inner Reform Council Aim

VATICAN CITY (NC) The Congregation of the Council has ruled that Fr. Gommar de Pauw is still under the jurisdiction of the archdiocese of Baltimore. The priest's case made head lines early this year when he claimed to have obtained a re lease from the Baltimore arch diocese and to have been ad mitted to the Italian diocese of Tivoli, near Rome, because of a dispute with Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore. Belgian-born Father de Pauw is the founder of the Catholic Traditionalist Movement in the U. S., which is working for the preservation of Latin in the lit urgy and opposes several of the liturgical changes made follow ing the proclamation in 1963 of the Second Vatican .Council's Constitution on the liturgy. He established the headquarters of the movement in New York'after being ordered by Cardinal She han to discontinlle it and an nounced at that time that he had been released from the Balti more archdiocese and granted "incardination" or legal status in Tivoli. He said he was assisted in this inove by Bishop Luigi Faveri of Tivoli, Francis Cardi nal Spellman of New York and Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, pro prefect of the Doctrinal Congre gation, all of whom have since disassociated themselves from the transfer. Cardinal Shehan has said that no transfer took place, although he admitted it had been considered at one time. Father de Pauw appealed to the Holy See. The decision of the Congrega tion was dated Sept. 30, but not published in L'Osservatore Ro mano, Vatican City daily, until Dec. 13. It said that a "special commis sion, established by a higher au thority within the Congregation of the Council to judge on the validity or non-validity of the incardination into the diocese of Tivoli of Father Gommar de Pauw of the archdiocese of Bal timore, after haVIng heard the parties concerned and examined the documents shown by them, has declared that this incardina tion is not valid, since the condi tions called for by Canon 112 of the Code of Canon Law (dealing with incardination) have not been verified. Consequently Father de Pauw remains for all canonical purposes subject to the archbishop of Baltimore." The note in L'Osservatore Ro mano said that this decisfon had already been communicated to Cardinal Shehan, the bishop of Tivoli, Father de Pauw and Car dinal Spellman, within whose jurisdiction De Pauw is cur rently carrying on his activities."

MUNICH (NC)-The Second! Vatican Council II was needed for the rediscovery of the love,

fraternity and unity expressed in

the Gospel of Christ, Julius Car

dinal Doepfner of Munich said in

. a sermon here marking the first

anniversary of the closing of the council. At' an anniversary service in the Church of Our Lady he said that the "changes" made by the council were less important than the inner reform of the faithful, which was its aim. The cardinal stressed that the Catholic Church faced a crisis in faith which would have been more serious had the council not been held.

Ordlafln 34 ST. COLUMBANS (NC)-The ordination of 34 young mission aries yesterday brings to 912 the number of ordained Columban Fathers. Overall membership in the foreign mission society of secular priests is 1,081.

"As Christians," Archbishop Dearden told his people, "we must be 'peace-makers' for Christ urged us to do this." In a pastoral letter read in aU Detroit archdiOCesan churches Sunday the Archbishop sa,id a. lengthened truce would "b~pe-

He asked for prayers and sac rifices that God may grant "wis dom, courage and good will for the world's leaders on both sides that they may find a way to ful fill the hopes of mankind for peace on earth." Archbishop Dearden stressed the Pope's efforts for peace and a lengthened truce, and pointed out that the U. S. bishops at their November meeting in Washing tOn' gave. strong support t~ the. Pope's plea in their statement on peace.

THE-ANCHOR-[)jocese of Fall River-Thurs. Dec. 22, 1966

BERKELEY (NC) The Church has made the principles of its social doctrine clear, but these principles have not been preached forcefully enough, Bishop ~ugh A. Donohoe of Stockton said here. . Some' priests are reluctant to apply the principles in concrete situations because they feel they lack the necessary sociological competence. Others are reluc tant to preach social justice be cause they fear economic repris als from their parishioners who disagree, he said. Many Catholics simply do not want to hear the Church speak ing on social issues, the Bishop told an audience of University of California students at Newman Hall. Examine Conscience' -He admitted there is some validity to the fact that there is de facto segregation in Catholic schools. But, he said, the main,

Expects Unions to' Propose Single Standard of Pay By Msgr. George G. Higgins , . (Director, S(JIcial Action Dept., NCWC) Almost a year has elapsed' since the National Com mission on Technology, Automation and Economic Progress completed its work and transmitted its final report to President Johnson.

pected to stir up a good bit of discussion; pro and con, in the public prints. For some unac countable rea son, however, it has been elabo rately ignored: You hardly "')ever see it re-' ferred to in the pr'ess, and, strangely enough, eve n the distinguish ed members of the commission who drafted the report for the President~acade micians, labor leaders, and cor pOJration executives - have ha~ relatively little to say about It since it was fir!?t made public a yell-r ago next February. End Distinction To tell the honest truth, I had a I In 0 s t completely forgotten about the report myself until I, read recentl J in the Wall Street Journal that one of its principal recommendations is about to be given a trial run in colle.:tive bargaining negotiations in sev eral major industries. I refer to the commission's wholehearted endorsement of a single standard of pay for blue collar and white collar workers. White collar workers and tech nical and administrative penon nel are almost always paid, by the week, the month, or the J'ear, whereas blue collar produdion' workers are generally paid by the piece or by the hour (and sofuetimes even by the tenth of an hour worked.) The commission's report takes the position that "whatever the initial logic, the time may be· near to end (this) invidiius dis tinction which has denied (pro duction) workers a sense of full participation in the social enter

worker is laid' off or works 'short weeks' when the schedu11 . 'so dictates, while office workers and clerks receive full salaries, whatever the flow of work." The commission members also recognize that the introduction of a single standard of pay for blue collar and white collar workers ,cannot - or in any event, should not-be imposed across the board by government fiat. Two ApproacheS It must be done gradually, through the normal processes of collective bargaining,with due , regard for the differences and variabilities of particular indus tries and the complex adminis trative and economic problems which it would necessarily involve. They insist, however,' that a frank recognition of these dif ferences and problems "should not prevent us from beginning and assessing the results." The Wall Street Journal, as indicated above, recently re ported that a number of major unions' - the Auto Workers, Steelworkers and Longshoremen, , among others-are prepared to raise this issue in their next round of collective bargaining negotiations. According to the Journal, they are taking two different ap proaches. In some " industries, unions are preparing to demand that factory workers be paid on a weekly or monthly basis in stead of by the hour. Their' aim i'!; to protect their members' pay checks in the event of brief ill nesses or other contingencies typically not· covered under ex isting contracts.

reason for this lies in the fact that there are not many Negro Catholics. Citing Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical, Rerum Novarum, and other documents, including Vati can ,Irs Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Bishop Donohoe said: "The Church has spoken out and it is now up to every Cath olic to examine his own con science and to act according to his best judgment as to what is just or tight after careful study of practical solutions within tbe larger framework of Church doc trine."

The ultimatum to the country's largest Catholic college was 'is sued by the Middle States Asso ciation of Colleges and Second ary Schools, regional accrediting agency, in a report by its Com mission on Institutions of Higher Education.

Directs SMTI Offensive Attack

New Bedford Grad Key to Court Combine' ...-....

BY JOE MIRANDA A senior and co-captain of the Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute basket ball team, Kenneth Leonard of Fairhaven has built an excellent reputation at the Dartmouth campus. A former New Bedford High star, Ken is majoring in Market ing in a Business Administration course at SMTI. Coach Phil Wetterland of the Corsairs is counting heavily on Leonard's ability to direct the <lffense of SMTI this season and feels that he has chosen the right man for the job. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Al fred P. Leonard of 180 Bluepoint Road in Fairhaven, Ken "lives basketball" according to his par ents, who moved from New Bed ford two years ago. St. Joseph Parisbioncl1' The Leonard's -are members of St. Joseph's Parish now, but Kenny grew up in Holy Name Parish of New Bedford where he played for his church hoop team in the 'Catholic Youth Or ganization at Kennedy Memorial Center. A good student, Leonard ii; a member of the marketing Club at SMTI and has been perform ing on the basketball court for four years at college. The 21-year old hoopster wears number 15 and has aver aged in double figures from the campaign's first game in helping the Corsairs to a 5-1 record. Holiday Tourney Wetterland's forces are pres ently preparing for the annual Seafood Fiesta tournament at New Bedford, Dec. 29 and 30. Host of the event, Leonard will have a big :-esponsibility as one of the SMTr captains. SMTI opens its tournament bid against Fort Kent State COllege of' Maine in the nightcap of a t"'1in bill which features Glal?s boro State College of New Jer sey meeting Weste,rn Maryland in the curtain raiser of the ninth annual tourney. An excellent scorer, Leonard is an all-around performer for SMTI. He is a good outside Sl1ot, handles the ball extremely well, cfln ~rive toward the basket pro ficiently and is an outstanding playmaker. Scored 65 Points Leonard plays a prominent role in .the SMTI fast break of fense and has the uncanny ability. to disorganize an opponent's zone defense with his outstand ing long range shooting. In six games this season, Ken ny is averaging just under 11 points. He has scored 65 points, mostly on outside jump shots.
