Diocese -to Observe 'Peace Prayer Day On Monday Next

. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New Year's Day will be observed as a day of prayer for peace in the Diocese of Fall River by directive of the :Most Rev.. James L. Connolly, Bishop of Fall River. This designaition for next Monday - Feast of the Octave of Christmas - is in keeping with the suggestion of His Holiness Pope Paul.

But it hits at the roots of weeds, or tares, that thrive in God's garden. As spiritual leadel's, we should be the first to recognize this and do something about it.

"However, if we ourselves are not convinced of the need and the power of prayer, preferring oother to be "open to the. world" illnd find Christ in the "encoun­ ~r and dialogue" with all man­ ner of neighbors, I'm. afraid the Holy Father is going to be disap­ pointed.

Immediate target of the Bish­ op's remarks was the televised interview of three such ex­ priests by David Susskind in a program televised Saturday eve­ ning over Channel 2.

The Bishop declared that it was time other voices were heard on the matter lest the charges of these former priests be taken as true or lest it be thought that there was ignorance or inability to answer what they keep repeating.

To the oft-spoken charge that a man does not know what he is doing or promising when he takes on himself the obligation of celibacy, the Bishop reminded his viewers that three separate times before a man becomes a priest-before he is advanced to the subdiaconate, the diaconate and the priesthood-he writes in his own handwriting to his bishop that with fUll knowledge and understanding he knows what he is asking for, he willing­ ly undertakes the work and its obligations, and he is motivated only by the glory of God and the desire to save his soul and to· serve the Church. The man so Lnvolved is certainly no young­ ster; as a matter of fact, Church Law provides that a man usually be 24 years old to be ordained a priest. And certainly before that age, men and women are making crudal decisions in oth­ er fields of endeavor. . The Bishop pointed out, fur­ ther, that the rule of celibacy, far from being just a few cen­ turies old, is a discipline that dates back to the beginning of the 4th Century. And even in the E'astern Church tradition, it was never a question of priests being allowed to marry as of mar r i e d men being allowed to become priests af,tel' their marriage.

New Memorial To Martyrs

BERLIN (NC)-Liars and hypocrites are being bred in Poland by the atheistic cam­ paign of the communist­

MASAKA (NC) - Thousands of persons, including civic and religious leaders, attended the unveiling of the new memorial to the martyrs of Uganda.

Bishop Adrian Ddungu of Masaka blessed the memorial at the ceremonies, which includ­ ed the ordination of four sem­ inarians to the priesthood.

The memorial, which took a year to erect, includes an altar on the center platform which has 12 glass panels containing relics of the martyrs. A red flame bums above the aItar at night.

The 22 martyrs of Uganda, all converts, were canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1964. They were killed in 1886 during a persecu­ tion of Christians by the ruling, chieftain, Mwanga, at a time when foreign missionaries had been forced to flee the country.

ruled government. Stefan Car­ dinal Wyszynski of Warsaw charged in a sermon at Niepo­ kalanow.

The cardinal said pressures connected with fear of losing iobs are an attempt to force people to go against their convictions and give the im­ pression they reject their Cath­ olic faith. .

"Who profits from such a sit­ uation?" the cardinal asked.

"The nation, the state, the fam­ ily?"

"There is created a certain category of people who are ly­ ing," he added, "people who pretend they do not believe.

"In a word, artificiality, ly­ ing, social hypocrisy, as it is sometimes called today. If this hypocrisy becomes a social phenomenon, then this creates hypocrites.

"And such people cannot be 1believed by anyone, not by theil" families, wives, husbands, chil­ dren nor the state nor the na­ tion."

Cardinal Wyszynski charged' ihat programs aimed at depriv­ Ing believers of their faith were earried on in schools, work places and the streets.

Secular Rites "It is difficult to understand· 11 prepared plan in a Catholic nati1>D which tries to replace religious ceremonies of Catho­ 'lies with some kind of secular baptism, secular confirmation er secular weddings, or ather purely civil celebrations where God is not mentioned," he said.

Meanwhile, a communique from Catholic Church leaders was read from Polish ChureR pulpiis accusing the communist state authorities of deliberately campaigning to "liquidate reli­ gious life" by blocking contruc­ tion of new churches.

The statement said .that tholi:' Sands of people .living in post­ war districts had no churches.' because construction was kept out of town plans. The author­ ities, it charged, withdrew building permits issued after October 1966, and halted coo­ Lrtruction of churches already begun.

Creates Institute To Preserve Art SANTA FE (NC)-The Santa Fe archdiocese has taken steps to create an institute to pre­ serve and restore Spanish colo­ nial art and architecture.

Archbishop James P. Davis of Santa Fe announced the founding of the. International Institute of Ibernian Colonial Art as one of several steps being taken by the archdiocese to de­ velop understanding of colonial art as a heritage of the Christian faith.

Laymen Seek Voice In Appointment 00,

MENORCA (NC) - A group of laymen of the Menorcadio­ cese have asked that the laity be consulted before the appoint­ ment of a new bishop.

In a letter to Pope Paul VI the Spanish group quoted from the section of ritual !for the or­ dination of a priest that reean8 a directive of the Church' Fathers that the people should be consulted in the choice of those who are to minister at the altar. The laymen claim that this also should apply. to bishops. They submitted a list of six priests as episcopal can­ didates.

favor Federa·tion of Six Ohio Colleges Consultors Urge Operational .Cooperation CLEVELAND (NC) - A con­ sulting committee is urging John Carroll University and the five' other Catholic colleges ift; this. area to consider opera­ tional cooperation leading to federation.

'Each institution. in the pro­ posed federation would retain its. identity while, at the same time participating in cooper­ ative efforts.

In addition to Jesuit-operated John Carroll University, the colleges involved are St. John, Ursuline and Notre Dame, aU women's institutions; St. Mary seminary and Borromeo. Sem­ inary College.

AU-Around Improvement The consultants were hired last Spring by presidents of the si-x institutions after a three­ and-a-half year program of limited collaboration by a liai­ son committee of the colleges and Carroll.

Since 1963, the six institutions have effected a complete trans­ fer of credits, shared classes, faculty exchanges and a com­ mon calendar.

The presidents used a grant from the Greater Clev"eland As­ sociated Foundation and three other foundations to set up the consulting committee to rec­ ommend measures aimed at es­ tablishing a pennanent struc­ ture for attaining academic im­ _pro-vement and operational effi­ ciency.

Consulting committee mem­ bers met with institution pres­ idents, faculties,. academic and· business officllrs, and' student represe~ves to gather in­ fonnation and statistics.

Cite Advantages Their report recommends that the institutions form a council of presidents, board chairmen and six outstanding citizens to guide the implementation of the collaborative 4~fforts.

These efforts are aimed at increasing financial efficiency and at improving the quality and providing education not now possible in anyone of the institutions.

Bars Mmssionaries JAKARTA (NC)-Indonesia's major Moslem political group has demanded that the govern­ ~nt stop foreign missionaries kom entering the Qountry.

Among the things to' which the suggestions relate are- sem­ inary and theological studies, . teacher and' nursing education, continuing education, graduate study, exchange of men and· women students, coordination of programs 'and courses, shar­ ing of library facilities; coop­ eration' in faculty and student recruitment, business affair~ llBd development.

Miles' to '60' Paternal Hierarchy The younger generation has always been the con­ eern of those. who are older. That is good and as it should be. An older generation always hopes to pass on its responsibilities to those prepared, those of maturity and balance, those, who have learned the wisdom of the past, those trained in knowledge and in discipline.

Children do not become this way by chance..Growth in knowing and in judgement does not coine with the mere passing of time. The family is the first school, the parentS the first teachers, the children students -open to improve­ ment and training and direction.

Because of the tremendous success that our country has enjoyed as a democracy, too m3JI1Y are of the opinion that if a large society conducted along democraetic lines is successful, then the smallest unit of society, the family, must be governed in the same manner in 6rder to guarantee success.

In such a "family democracy," the child, just as much as the parent, has a voice and a vote. And the result is a family in which parents cater to the whims· of the child, . a family in which children give orders and make demands to which parents must ,accede under threat of being called tyrants.

The idea is ridiculous, the results havoc. Such a family concept, f~rthermore, far from helping children, breeds insecurity into their whole Il)ake-up. For children have desires but know that these must be tempered by wisdom; they have wants but look for the steadying hand of control.

They, expect their parents to teach them how far their desires are to stretch. They want mothers and fathers to· provide discipline and to teach' them self-eontrol.

And the father of the family, especially, must proje~t the image of strength and direction and control. A strong father, one who is a real man in that he is mature and balanced and morally strong, ·gives to his wife and children the real image of what a man and husband is. Alltoo often when' a case of juvenile delinquency crops up, investigation shows the father of the family to be a weak man, one who has abdicated to his wife or children his proper role as head of the family. His children grow up with no idea of control or strength and act accordingly. .

JK>RWICH(,NC) ,;,:". Soarinc consnuetion costs have eause'd the canceilatiOll of plans for a new' regional Catholie biBb ~chool in th1l Norwich diocese, . Bishop Vincent ~. Bines aft,;. nounced.

He said the decision 10 wit~ /d$w p~ans for the ,new St. 'fhom~ More High School jJl Rockville was agreed oDunant-­ mously by· diocesan officials, priests, and lay campaign leact­ ers in the' area to be served 'bY the school. .

Bishop Hines said construction costs had l'isen more than ·40 per cent over figures projected when b).lUding plans were an­ nounced last March. ArchitectS for the school said cOsts were likely to' increase even more before final plans were submit­ ted for bids.

Bishop Hines said the diocese and the parishes to be served by the proposed high school are unable to absorb the 1ncreased cost.

Funds already contributed for construction of the school win be returned to the' donors.

1IJNION (NC) - A nativity scene was again erected on the front lawn of the municipal budding here, the Union Town­ ship Committee decided una~ mously. ' The committee voted after having received four petitions signed by more than 1,000 people supporting the erection' of the creche on public land in this New Jersey community. ' The Union Clergy Association had asked that the committee not erect the 'scene on public land but put it up elsewhere be­ ca'Use of the impropriety of us­ ing municipal property to pro­ mote a religious belief.

Local. civic groups, led by the Chamber of 'Commerce, had pur­ chased the nativity scene and donated it to the township in ,1964. It has been erected on the lawn of the municipal building each Christmas since.

When the Clergy Association: questioned the site, the Town­ ship Committee tentatively de­ cided to go along with the re­ quest,. but reversed itself at its first formal vote in the face of public support for the traditional practice.

How to Plant living Tree After Holiday Season

Asks Court Bock

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

Judical Review

Last week we wrote aboot being tempted by a living Christmas tree for next year and what we have heard oonceming the price of trees since we wrote that col~mn eonfirms us in our intention. We have looked further mto the living tree situaltion since each Christmas passes. There is to determine jUl:tt how one special pleasure about the would go about planting a thought of looking out into the tree in the middle of Winter. garden and remembering some­ There are really two alltemaUves in handling a live tree.

First of all it must be realized that the trees come balled and burlapped, that is the base of the tree (the root system) is covered with burlap and soil is bound into a ball inside the burlap. This means that the tree can be planted immediately after the New Year if the soil ~s still workable or it can be llleid over until the Spring.:ff you plan to hold it over it is a simple matter to leave it in its burlapped state out of the sun and wind in a place where it may be covered with straw or leaves up to and covering the ball.

SoU Leaves If you have the foresight to get a spot in the garden ready for the tree in advance the tree may be planted direcUy after it is taken out of the house. This may be done by digging a good­ sized hole when the ground ~s still workable (the middle of December is time enough) and then filling the hole with a mix­ ture of soil and lots of leaves.

No matter how cold it gets, the hole can be easily excavated in January since the combination of leaves and soil will not freeze. Planting the tree in freezing weather will not hurl it in the slightest as long as the hole is large enough to take the ball of soil and if precau­ tions are taken not to break the soil around the root system when you. remove the burlap.

Ei ther way the trees make a handsome addition to the gar­ den which you can cherish as

In the Kitchen Last January Melissa's very best friend Valerie was coming to visit after school and we had planned to have her stay for dinner. As I was trying to think what to serve the children for dessert, I suddenly realized it was Jan. 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, and that the. only appropriate ending for the meal would be a King's cake. The cook places three small favors in such a cake, such as a toy ring, or a tiny crown, and who­ ever receives one of these favors in his piece of cake becomes a king for the rest of the evening.

Not having any items· around that would possibly resemble these favors, I tossed into my cake batter three pieces of wrapped (can you imagine?) toffee candies, and managed to get the cake on the table by the end of the meal. With ·much juggling, Joe and I managed it so that Melissa, Meryl and ·Valerie got the three pieces of cake with the candy in them.

Only as the poor things began to eat, did I realize what a sticky papery mess their "fav­ ors" had become.

Charges Harassment Atheist Protested Christmas Carol

Singing on Public School

DULUTH (NC)-A professed atheist whose protests led to a ban on Christmas carols in a school program here in Minne­ sota claims he has been sub­ jected to harassment by ired Duluth residents.

Beatification Process .

Starts in Poland BERLIN (NC)-The diocesan process toward the beatification of the ·foundress of the Felician Sisters has begun in Cracow, Poland. She was Zofia Aniela Truszowska, who founded. the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Felix of Cantalicio in 1855.

Zofia Truszkowska was born in Kalisz on May 16, 1825, and died Oct. 10, 1899. She founded the Felicilin Sisters under the guidance of her spiritual direc­ tor, Father Honorat Kozminski, whose - beatification process is also under way.

The Felician congregation numbers 5,034 members in 469 . establishments in several coun­ tries, including seven in the United States. They are located in Livonia, Mich.; Buffalo; Chi­ cago; Lodi, N. J.; Enfield, Conn.; Coropolis, Pa.,; and Ponce City, Okla.

School, two windows in the bookstore he operates were smashed, his car was damaged and a sign proclaiming "Help Stamp Out Atheists" was placed in his yard by persons disagree­ ing with the carol ban.

"It doesn't bother me," De Young commented. ""I expect this sort of thing. I live day in and day out with good Chris­ tians."

De Young, who publishes a monthly magazine, The Cruci­ ble, to advance atheism has nine children, three of whom are pupils at the Munger school.

He had protested the planned religiously oriented holiday program as "an affront to non­ Christians and a direct violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution."

His protest was referred b7 the school .principal to L. V. Rasmussen, superintendent of Duluth schools. After conferring with the school board attorney, Rasmussen ordered that secu­ lar music rather than religious carols be used in the program.

Harold V. Colgan, founder and international director of the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima, announced he is send­ ing letters to all U. S. bishops asking them to adopt a three­ point "program of action. prayer and Eucharistic devo­ tion."

Msgr. Colgan said the plan's three phases include: A pilgrimage for one month in each diocese of the "Pilgrim Virgin statue of Our Lady of Fatima, presented to the U. S.

by Bishop Joao P. Venancio of Fatima, Portugal. The statue is meant to be a focal point for prayer for peace.

A stepped-up program of home visits by smaller "pilgrim'" statues. This is envisioned as an ecumenical activity in which persons of all faiths will gather in Catholic homes for prayer.

An "adoration program" with emphasis on the Eucharist, to bring Catholics into churcll during week days.

. Booklet on Unity WASHINGTON (NC)-"Mov~ ment Toward Unity," a booklet dedicated to advancing the ecu­ menical movement among stu­ dents, has been published here by the National Newman Apostolate.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Sen. Sam J. Ervin, Jr., of Nortl1 Carolina has asked the Supreme Court to permit taxpayer suits to test the constitutionality of federal aid to church-related institutions.

Senator Ervin submitted a friend of the court brief in be­ half of Americans for Public Schools and the Baptist Gen­ eral Association of Virginia in a case which the Court has agreed to hear.

That case involves a challenge to federal aid to poor pupils in New York City religious schools.

It was rejected by lower courts on the grounds that individuals were not sufficiently damaged by the law to challenge the aid provisions.

They are now asking the Su­ preme Court to permit suits based on the First Amendment prohibitions against its estab­ lishment of religion.

Ervin has sponsored legisla­ tion-and won passage in the Senate-to permit such suits four times. Each time the House has rejected it.

Says ~!l1dca

NAGAR (NC)~Militant Hin­ dus have vowed to erect 'a tem­ ple at a site now occupied by III Catholic church here in India.

The Hindus claim that the church was converted by the British from an audience hall 0If Shivappa Nayaka, a loc311 Hindu ruler.

They say that the hall, orig­ inally preserved by the govern­ ment as a "protected monu­ ment," was first turned into a hut for worship by Catholics and later into a regular church building. . • They also accuse the present parish priest, Father Augustine Fernandes, of erecting a 60-foot 'high cross at the site said to have been" originally occupied

by Shivappa's throne., The Catholics point out that there is no evidence that the site was ever occupied by an audi­ ence hall and that the cross was built on the ruins of an ancient church.

Meanwhile, following tension between the two communities, the local government has pro­ hibited all new structures at the site.

The Hindus, however, demand that the cross and church be pulled down as "dllegal con­ structions." .

BANGALORE (NC) - A U.S.-born Jesuit priest claim­ ed here that the I,talian gov­ ernment now wants a "gen­ uine partnership" with the Church in the task of increasing food production in the country.

Father James Berna, S.J., proj­ ect development director of the Catholic - Protestant AFPRO (Action for Food Production) or­ ganization in New Delhi, said that the new situation poses "a great challenge" and places "a very important responsibility" on Church-related and other vol­ untary groups working in this , country.

Father Berna, from the Jesuits' Maryland province, spoke here at an AFPRO Southern Regional Conference on tjle role of volun­ tary agencies in food production i~ South India.

Stating there has been a "dis­ tinct change" for the better, the priest told the four-day confer­ ence the favorable government policy was a fact, although it may sound a bit strange to some Church groups disturbed by rumors concerning the govern­ ment's future policy toward for­ eign missionaries.

Diocesan Synod

KANSAS CITY .(NC)-Bish­ op Cha1"les H. Helmsing of Kan­ sas City-St. Joseph has called on the people of the diocese to assume "corporate responsibil­ ity in carrying out the Church's mission."

The bishop made the appeal in a homily delivered at a Mass celebrated in the occasion of the closing of the year-long pro­ ceedings of the first diocesan synod.

He declared the conclusions {)f the synod binding in the dio­ cese as of the first Sunday of Lent and announced' that the documents prepared by its 11 commissions will be published pdor to that day.

Each of thec ommissions, Bishop Helmsing said, "aimed at trans­ lating the themes of the Second Vatican Council so that together we might be a true community in Christ-a fellowship, or to use the Greek word, a 'koinonia.'

"To this end, the synod calls for a number of new structures in the diocese, a senate of priests, a -pastoral council com­ posed of priests, Religious and laity, a diocesan council of Reli­ gious women, and an association of the laity backed by our Councils of Women and Youth, and not least a social action commission, a liturgical com­ mission and an ecumenical commission.

"Each group," he stressed, "will be so structured to insure the necessary communication so that there can be corporate re­ sponsiQility in carrying out the ChurcH's mission."

Bless Cornerstone of New Cathedral SAN FRANCISCO (NC) Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, Apostolic Delegate in the United States, blessed the cornerstone for the new $8.5 million St. Mary's cathedral here while a dozen placard-carrying pl'otest­ ors marched nearby demanding that funds collected for the ca­ thedral be spent on low-income housing for the poor.

"We protest a cathedral of affluence and unconcel'l)," said one of the placards. Mary Lou Burg, a spokesman of the Ad Hoc Committee to Reinvestigate Construction of the Cathedral, criticized Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken of San Francisco for not accepting an 'offer by Epis­ copal Bishop C. Kilmer Myers of California to share the use of Grace Episcopal \ cathedral on Nob Hill.

At a press conference held in connection with the cornerstone blessing, Archbishop McGucken discounted the significance of the protest, He implied that the people taking part were actu­ ally far less involved in helping the poor than the archdiocese is.

FRESNO (NC)-"As a lover to his bride, I now vow my life, my talents and my honor to the service of this diocese. For it shall I spend myself and be spent. Its joys and hopes, its griefs and anxieties, shall be my very own. Its people shall be my people and its God shall be my God." Thus did Bishop Timothy Manning acknowledge his in­ stallation as first bishop of Fresno in St. John's cathedral here.

Led by Archbishop Luigi Rai­ mondi, aposolic delegate in the United States, and Bishop Al­ oysius J. Willinger, C.SS.R., re­ tired bishop of the former com­ bined diocese of lVIontzrey-J!'res­ no, the new ordinary took his seat 'as shephzrd of the flock of California's fertile central valley.

More than 400 clergy, nuns and laymen from Los Angeles attended to witness the assumption of the Fresno See by the former Auxil­ iary to Cardinal McIntyre.

An overflow congregation heard Bishop Manning pay trib­ ute to his predecessor, Bishop Willinger, who, he said, "fol!' over 20 years shepherded this flock. He husbanded in difficult times the resources which re­ stored stability, and he lovingly built the spiritual edifices."

'No More Denominational Theology' Says 'Benedictine College 'Head MINNEAPOLIS (NC).- "Denominational theology" does not belong in today's world, the president of St. John's University, Collegeville, told an· ecumenical audience here.

"We all realize," Father Colman Barry, O.s.B., said, "that we cannot have genuine theology anymore without open conversation with other theologies. No more denominational theology.

The great themes of Scripture are now the common basis for all theology."

Fa'ther Barry's talk, entitled "Reformation Revistted," was sponsored by an association of priests and ministers of more than 30 Catholic and Protestant churches here. . The fact that" Catholics, Protestants and members of the Orthodox churches admit the need for one another is "the major breakthrough of our

times," Father Barry said. "We don't come to compromise," he noted. "We come needing and wanting each other." ''Together,'' he said, "we caD. bring the Holy Spirit. back into our church."

"If we ean continue and in­ tensity our dialogue of charity, we can proceed to a dialogue at theology," he stated.

Father Barry said the 16th century Protestant reformera were Catholic who wanted to stay in the Church, but didn't get a voice· in it and then went outside. That, he Slllid, was the tragedy. .

Martin Luther, he slUd, was not an ex-priest out to destroy the Church but a Catholic priest attempting to reform the Church he loved, offering his arguments for change in an academic atmosphere and seek­ ing theological discussion.

present tax policy was formu­ lated to maintain school segre­ gation and hinder the religious education of Catholic children­ and that it now has the effect of penalizing the poor.

John McDonough of Kansas City has asked the coming special session of the state leg­ islature to redraw the laws to provide mOre money for the ed­ ucation of the poor and for some support of private schools.

Quote From St. Benedict's Rule Makes Motto for Press Club WASHINGTON (NC) - On the outside wall, beside the door to the members' bar of the Na­ tional Press Club here is an ex­ cerpt from the Rule of St. Ben­ edict. A great conversation piece, it has been reproduced innumerable times, used by club members on their Christmas cards and installed on the walls of their' homes.

Many persons ask about the authenticity of the quotation, and, from a quick inquiry, it would seem that it is, more or less, correct.'

The Press Club :version, printed in Old English and il­ lustrated with !l wood carving, begins with the word "Bene Dictum, Benedicte," (Well said, Benedict), and this would seem to be an innovation, a sort of headline. The text then says: Two Stout Mf;lnks "If any pilgrim monk come from distant parts, if with the wish to dwell as a guest in the monastery, and will be content with the customs which he finds in the place, and do not per­

chance by his lavishness disturb the monastery, but is simply content with what he finds, he shall be received for. as long as he desires.

"If, indeed, he find fault with anything, or expose ,it, rea­ sonably, and with the humility of charity, the Abbot shall dis­ cuss it prudently, lest perchance God had sent him for this very, thing.

"-But, if he have been found gossipy and contumacious in the time of his ·soujourn as ~est, not only ought he not to be joined to the body of the mon­ astery, but also it shall be said to him, honestly, that he must depart.

"If he does not go, let two stout monks, in the name of God, explain the matter to him."

Accepted Translation An accepted translation of the Rule set down for his monks by St. Benedict in the sixth cen­ tury says: "If a traveling monk arrive from distant parts, and desire to dwell in the monastery as a guest; and if he be content with the manner of life which he shall find there, and do not trouble the monastery by his

unreasonable demands, but is simply satisfied with what he shall find, let him be received for as long as he will.

"If, however, he ,censures or points out anything reasonably and with humble charity, let the Abbot weigh the matter pru­ dently, lest perchance the Lord may have sent him",for this very purpose. "* * * But if, during that time, he was found to be one hard to please and viciously inclined, he should not be admitted to the community, but should be told courteously to depart, lest others should be corrupted by his wickedness."

There is more to this partic­ ular Rule, but there is no men­ tion of the suggestion that "two stout monks" show the visitor out.

This last sentence in the Press Club version is the catchy part, all right, and obviously the point that appeals most to the , newsmen and their guests. And there is some evidence that it is not just a "rewrite job."

First BouncerS

A Benedictine historian tells

us that this sentence, or its im­

port, al?pears as a "gloss," or

addendum in medieval Bene­

dictine co~mentaries. He takes this to indicate that at least some abbots found out in time that not all guests departed from their monasteries when they were requested to. Hence the add~d advice to the commu­ nity that two stout monks take care of the situation.

Travel being what it was at the time-arduous and hazard­ ous-it can be readily seen that wayfarers would avail them­ selves of Ben@!dictine hospital­ ity. It can also be seen that cer­ tain "types," having found what they felt was "a soft touch," would outstay their welcome at a monastery, without any thought ever of joining· the community. ' And, since there were 37,000 Benedictine monasteries in Eu­ rope between the 6th and 14th centuries, according to histo­ rians, a "freeloader" could make quite a thing of it.

It has been suggested that, centuries ago, the monks were the first "bouncers."

Bishop COntnloUy

MONTEREY (NC) - Bishop Harry A. Clinch was installed as the first bisllop of the newly created diocese of Monterey in Carmel Mission basilica before the largest assembly of Church and civic leaders ever seen in this coastal. area., Over 1,-000 persons witnessed

the installation of Bishop Clinch

States. James Francis· Cardinal

MacIntyre of Los Angeies pre­

Mass to be held in Carmel

basiliea because the offic\any

Carlos in Monterey was corisid­ .ered too small for the number

expected to attend.

, Bishop Clinch announced dur­

ing the Mass' that the Holy' See has officially decreed that the new diocese will henceforth be known as the diocese of Mon­ terey in California. It comprises four coastal counties whIch for'" merly belonged to ·the diocese of Monterey-F~esrio. .

did not consider the positive reasons for celibacy. Certainly a celibate priest is, in this matter, imitating Christ. And the whole reason for celibacy is so that a

priest might show in his life.'" a JI:lore complete and perfect dedication to thlil service of God and of God's people. By· sac'ra­ fieing, knowingly and. willingly, what most men consider very dear - a home and family of one"'s own - the priest un,der,­ lines, as nothing else could, his sincere' dedication to Christ and his complete willingness to work for aU'men and for their f~lIni­ lies. He thus. surrenders concern_ for his own family that he might . take on a- greater concern for aU diamilies and this in the image of Christ. , ~ ;, The priesthood is not merely a function - the ordaining of a man so there might' be someone in a community to say Mass and to hear confessions and to anoint the si~k and to bake the lead 'in ' preaching the things of ~d.

The priesthood is a commitment to proclaim Christ by words and

actions and by a Christ-like life, with the sense of complete and

undistracted dedic3ltion to the things of .lGod that this, implies. . ECUMENICAL PIONEERS: John A celibate priest is more able to Fetterman were charter members of cstrive toward this end.

The Bishop asked Pis viewers not to be~ upset by the few priests who rejected the priest­ hood because of its difficulties and sacrifice and then try to pro­ ject their personal frustrations and weaknesses to aU pirests.

Rather, these men should be the object of prayers and chatjty.

And ,the good priests who are quietly and happily doing the work of God shOuld be seen for wha,t they are - mature men who entered the priesthood. knowmgly and willingly and who, with prayer and God's.help, are growing. daily in the happi'ness that· comes 'from. doing God's will and serving God's people.

Much to "Do Task of Human Relations Board Is to Find Solutions With P'ositive Results PHILADELPHIA (N C) ­ "Your task is not to make head­ lines but to make history," John Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia has cautioned the archdiocese's Commission on Human Rela­ tions.

The Cardinal praised commis­ sion members for their contri­ bullions 'to Christian unity and interracial harmony during the . three years of the commission"s existence. Welcoming seven new members, he described the' group as a "catalyst" which eo­ ordinates and stimulates the ac­ tivities of those working toward the goals of unity and· interra­ cial harmony. , He noted that much 'work re- . mains to be done, and cited the, Second Vatican Council's Con­ stitution on the Church in the Modern World as emphasizing the need for the lay person to

Boycott Continues At Bayonne P'arish NEWARK (NC)-Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark met for two hours here with three representatives of a group _which is withholding financial contributions from its parish in a dispute with the pastor.

The financial boyoott has been going. on for two months at Our Lady of the AssumptiGR parish, Bayonne. Father Dom­ inie J. Del Monte, pastor, has refused to comment on its ef­ fectiveness, and it is not known how many people are partici­ pating.

The dispute resolves around administration of the parish, with the laymen charging that a woman employe exercises too much control over parish af­ fairs.' Father Del Monte, who with one of his curates had met with the archbishop earlier, has offered to set up an elected ad­ visory boat:d.

The laymen who met with the archbishop later issued a state­ ment that he had promised to act on the matter but the chan­ cery office declined to comment on the meeting." ,.

exert his special competence in the Church and not to expect a solution to all problems from pastors. .

Many groups and individuals use most of their time and energy in criticism, Cardinal Krol noted. ·"We could .spend most of our time criticizing ourselves," he observed, "because we have much left to do." .He noted, however, that "it is our task to find solutions" and to .. come up with positive sug­ gestions.

Hindus Declare War On Mission Schools NEW DELHI (NC)-A "war" on missionary schools and other such institutions which alleged­ ly perpetuate the use of the English language in India was announnced here by a Hindi Sena, a two-week-old organiza­ tion campaigning. for recogni­ tion of Hindi as the country's sole official language.

The Sena was formed in Lucknow simultaneously with' the introduction in the national parliament here of a govern­ ment bill making English a sec­ ond Gfficial language as long as non-Hindi states want it.

SUCRE (NC)-Bolivia's bish­ ops, disturbed by a government proposal recognizing only civil marriages as valid unions, have begun efforts to sway congres­ sional thinking over to the Church's point of view.

In their observations on the proposed Family Code, the bish­ ops claim that congressmen favoring the new marriage law are "forgetting their responsi­ bility to the electorate of a Catholic nation," Adding opposition to the' na­ tion's recently liberalized di­ vorce laws to their comments oq the marriage bill, the bishops said they are willing to coop­ erate with the civil registry in wedding and Baptism - cere':' monies , but added: "The hier­ archy. cannot tolerate that regis­ tration be a compulsory condi­ tion for administering the sacra­ ments."

A letter from Jose Cardinal Maurer, C.SS.R., of Sucre fur­ ther emphasized that "should such a law be passed, we are afraid there are not enough jails in the country to hold all the bishops, priests and lay people who will be forced to disobey a law that clearly goes against their conscience."

Seminary Asks Link With University DURHAM (NC)-A plan to send seminarians of Ushaw col­ ~ge, one of Britain's largest seminaries. to nearby Durham university for some of their studies has been welcomed, in principle, by the university council.

Ushaw college's governing bOard· wants to affiliate the col­ lege with the university so that theology students at Ushaw can earn' a degree in the honors school of theology or in general arts at the -university.

Under the plan the students W9uld begin their theolog course at the seminary and later' attend the university for a three-year course. After' final examinations they would com­ plete their theological forma­ tion at Ushaw before ordination.

The students would reside at Ushaw throughout their train­ ing. . University and seminary offi­ cials will meet later to discuss the problems involved.

Lutherans, Catholics 'Issue Statement on Eucharist

I

;1

have no gifts, no worship, no sacrifice of our own to offer to God." Lutherans and Catholics can join in affirming that the pres­ ence of the sacrifice of the cross in the Eucharistic celebration

is efficacious for the forgiveness of sins and the life of the world.

There is a significant conver­ gence in the practice of Eu­ charistic worship.

On the second point of discus­ sion, the presence of Christ in the Lord's Supper, agreement was not so sweeping. Neverthe­ less, both groups emphasized that Christ is present in the Lord's Supper as true God and true man, wholly and entirely, in -His body and blood, under

the signs of bread and wine.

Agree, Disagree

L u the ran representatives, however, while agreeing that Christ is genuinely present in the Eucharist, insisted that "we are unable at present to speak with one voice at every point."

Outlining specific agreement and disagreement, the Lutheran authors of the statement criti­ cize Catholicism's dependence on the term . "transubstantia­ tion."

"It can thus be sClm," the statement adds, that there is agreement on the 'that,' the :run reality 6f Christ's p·resenoo.

What has been disputed is a particular way of stating the 'how,' ~be manner in whieh he beeomes present."

The text was prepllred anlt issued by theologians partici­ patil~ in a series of bilateral consultations between the Cath­ olic end LutheraB communities ift the United States. Earlier re­ ports published by tbe consul­ tation include "The Status of the Nicene Creed as Dogma of the Church," pl:blished in 1965, and "One Baptism for the Re­ mission of Sins," published in 1966.

Baltimore Archdiocese Surveys PhJigious Education Outlook BALTIMORE {NC)-"All of us are conscious of a change in emphasis in religious educa­ tion," Lawrence Cardinal ·She­ han told members of Project Community, convened to ex­ pwre the educational outlook in the archdiocese. Some 4G repre­ sentatives of archdiocesan agen­ cies were present.

It still is to be decided whether Project Community will continue on a more per­ manent basis.

Project members worked in four groups and then met to­ gether to hear a variety of com­ ments and recommendations.

Here's a sampling: The training of religion teachers is important. Not all professional teachers in paro':' chial schools have been trained in the teaching of religion.

Modern developments in psy­ chology may bc applied in reli­ gious education.

Adult religion courses should be related to the concems 01 daily life. "Business ethics" might be typical of such • course.

The Department of Catholic Education, the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and· the Newman Apostolate should be coordinated not only in terms' of administration but in terms

of the content of religious in­ struction.

Parental SUPIlort Specialists in the field have noted some distate for religious instruction among college stu­ dents, especially those who have experienced conventional reli­ gious instruction in Catholic schools.

It is difficult to instruct a child in religion without paren­ tal support.

Small children find it hard to understand Christian values.

There is "a kind of overkill" in teaching Christianity to chil­ dren. .

In the inner city there is a need to help parents in rearing their children as Christians.

There should be a "very strong" archdiocesan commit­ ment to adult religious educa­ tion. This education requirC"s. thoughtful preparation because the adults to be reached range from some who can't read to others who are highly sophistf;.. cated.

Urges Ameracans Mark Peae:@ Day

WASHINGTON (NC)-With strong emphasis on points of agreement and specific analysis of points not yet agreed upon, representatives of the Lutheran and Catholic traditions released a 14-page statement outlining beliefs on the Eucharist as sacrifice acceptable explanation of the and the presence of Christ Eucharistic assembly's consent in the Lord's Supper. The to the power of the Holy Spirit, st3Jtement, prepared by Lu­ since apart from Christ "we theran and Catholic scholars af­ ter nearly two years' discussion and five major revisions, em­ phasizes "our profound gratitude to God for the growing unity on this subject which we see in our day."

"What we have to report," the

statement continues, "is not so much original with us as simply one manifestation of a growing consensus among many Christian traditions on the Lord's Supper.

"Ours, however, is a specifi­ cally Roman Catholic-Lutheran contribution. It attemps to go be­ yond the more general ecumen­ ical discussion of the Eucharist to an examination of the particu­ lar agreements and disagree­ ments of our two traditions."

Basic Beliefs

While drawn from Scripture and the writings of the Fathers lDf the Church, the statement deals primarily with problems that have become acute for Christians as a result of the 16th­ century controversies surround­ ing the Reformation. It does not try to treat the sacrament com­ prehensively.

Yet the treatment given dra­ matically underscores the wide agreement so far reached on basic Eucharistic beliefs. Both traditions accept the fact that "Cbrist is present as the Cruci­ fied who died for ear sins and who rose again 1m: our jllsiifi­ cation, as the onoo-tor-all aae­ rifioo for the sins gf the wOFld." Similarly, the confcssienal' tklcuments- of both traditioJl1l agree that the celebration of" the Jl:ucharist b a sacrifice of Jlr.u.se and .sel1-of!ering. Other paints of agreement indicate that: Catholics as well as Lutherans affinn the unrepeatable charac­ ter of thc sacrifice of the cross.

BRUSSELS (NC)-Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty 4)£ Newark, chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee for World Justice and Peace, has appealed to Americans to answer the can of Pope Paul VI for observance of a Day of Peace on Jan. l.

Bishop Dougherty commented! on the Pope's peace message here where he has been at­ tending a meeting of national justice and peace commissions !rom 13 developed nations in the Atlantic community.

"The Holy Father's appeal for a Day of Peace took on special and dramatic dimensions for the pontifical and national commit­ tees for justice and peace meet­ ing at Brussels," Bishop Dough­ erty said.

"The significant role of the commissions was underscored by the presence of the undersecre­ tary of state, Archbishop Gio­ vanni Benelli, repr'esenting the Holy Father. His eloquent read­ ing of the pp.ace message gav0 it the character of a personal, , appeal. .,' "I, in turn, appeal to the·; American people to share this" feeling 00' the Pope's .personal anxiety and to manifest this ey making peace a matter' «€ conscience and a matter of con-. cern of Peace Day, Jan.

The Lancers of Norton are be­ ginning the i r 11th season in the Tri-Valley Con f e r Peter ence. During the Bartek first 10 years, the Lancers have won three championships and placed second on three occa­ sions.

Cardinal Leger Leaves Canada For Africa MONTREAL (NC)-Paul.

Emile, Cardinal Lege~' has left Canada for Africa and given up the office of arch­ bishop of Montreal for the life of a mis,sionary to African lepers.'

Some 1,000 persons, including Maurice C,ardinal Roy of Que­ bec, gathered at International Airport to say g09dbye to the 63-year-old prelate before he boarded an Air Canada flight ~r New York where he trans': fen'ed to an Air Afrique plane for Dakar, Senegal.

Cardinal Leger, who last month announced his resigna­ tion from his Canadian See, "has not yet disclosed where he will work in Africa. He said he will .Jravel in Africa for six months 'before settling in' a missionary post. ' 'Glad and Sad'

Preaching at a Mass he cele­ "brated in Notre Dame church here the day before his depar­ ture, Cardinal Leger said, "It is for me a glad and sad occa­ sion."

His final plea to the people of Montreal was, "Pray fot' me, remember me, arid love your neighbor." , Cardinal Leger was named archbishop of Montreal in 1949 and raised to the college of cardinals ,three years later, He instituted many refor!J)s in tJ:1e archdiocese and gained world­ wide' renown as a liberal spokesman in the Church for his leadership of progressive causes at Vatican Council II. When he announced his in­ tention to leave Montreal, Car­ dinal Leger said that he made the final decision at the Synod of Bishops when -"it became dear to me that Our Lord was asking me for deeds as well as words."

Pope's Ap~rovai He also said that he had "reached the age where a cer­ tain sclerosis of soul and body might set in. The spur must be used to get out of the rut.

"It is so easy to become in­ stalled in 'comfortable habits after having exercised, author­ ity for a long time, especially in a diocese where Catholics com­ prise the large majority, The eonfrontation with paganism may stimulate faith."

Before leaving Montreal, Car­ dinal Leger received a letter .leom Pope Paul VI who had ap­ proved the cardinal's resigna­ tion. In the letter the Pope said: "At this point, when you are leaving your episcopal city and native land to go to Africa to give the rest of your life to the service of lepers and the mis­ sions, we feel the heartfelt need to inform you of our profound emotion and our intimate par­ ticipation in this serious and noble decision, you have made."
