COUNCIL'S DRAMATIC DAY: MAIN QUESTION TO BE PUT TO THE VOTE MONSIGNOR JAMES I. TUCEK
V ATICAN CITY.—DEBATE IN THE COUNCIL HALL REACHED A DRAMATIC HIGH POINT AS TWO GREAT MEN OF THE C HURCH BROUGHT THE CHIEF QUESTION AT ISSUE TO A H EAD IN THE CURRENT CONSIDERATION OF THE SCHEMA ON BISHOPS AND THE GOVERNMENT OF DIOCESES. The question was whether or not the powers now exercised by the Roman Curia—the central administrative body of the Church—should be returned to the bishops of dioceses. The two sides of -the issue were expressed by Joseph Cardinal Frings, of Cologne, Germany, and Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office and president of the council's Theological Commission. There was no question in the mind of anyone present that this was the most dramatic day of the council to date. One clearly saw a new order in battle against an old order.
Applause
gratitude for the devoted individuals w h o spend their lives in the difficult work of the Holy Office. we feel that its methods should be basically revised. "It would be advisable to diminish substantially the number of bishops working in the curial offices. No one should be consecrated a bishop just in order to honour him or the office he holds. If a man is consecrated a bishop, then he should be a bishop and nothing else. No one is ever ordained to the priesthood as a mark of honour or gratitude. "Not a few of the tasks of the Roman Curia could be performed by laymen. C onsequently, efforts should be made to use fewer bishop s, fewer priests and more laymen."
Both Cardinal Frings and Cardinal Ottaviani spoke with evident deep conviction and both were applauded by those who supported their views. The applause would not count, of course, in deciding the question. But the question was now out in the open and, except for an extraordinary intervention of Pope Paul VI himself, it would soon be decided by ballot and, one way or another, alter the face of the Church in the future. Cardinal Frings remarks, as reported in the council press office communique. were as follows: "Remarks recently made in the council to the effect that the Fathers must wait for a definitive response The same council press from the Theological Commission are indeed amaz- office communique reporting. They seem to insinuate ed the words of Cardinal that this commission has Ottaviani as follows: "The opportunity must at its 'disposal sources of truth unknown to the be taken to protest most other council Fathers. vigorously against the condemnat;.on of the Holy OfSuch observations also appear to lose sight of the fice voiced in this council hall.

The Other View
Out Of Times
"The distinction between administrative and judicial procedures in the Roman Curia should be extended to all areas, including the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office. Its procedures are out of harmony with modern times, are a source of harm to the faithful and Of scandal to those out-. Side the Church. No Roman c ongregation should have authority to and condemn accuse, judge an individual Who has had no opportunity to defend himself. With all due reverence and
other than the sovereign pontiff himself. The criticism formulated proceeds from a lack of knowledge, not to use a stronger term, of the procedures of this sacred congregation. "No one is ever accused, judged and condemned without a thorough previous investigation carried on with the help of competent consultors and experienced specialists. Besides, all decisions of the Holy Office are approved by the Pope personally, and thus such criticisms are reflection on the Vicar of Christ. "The five points recently submitted for the approval of the council Fathers were drawn up by the council moderators. They should have been submitted to the Theological Commission for careful study, and the commission would have been able to perfect certain expressions and eliminate certain obscurities. "Those who propose the collegiality of the bishops proceed in a vicious circle, since they presume that the Apostles existed and Continued page 8

Persistent Report On Draft's Promulgation
V ATICAN CITY.—A persistent report from reliable sources states that the Eceumenical Council's draft proposal on the liturgy will be ready to be put into effect by the end of November. A member of the Liturgy Commission, who declined to be named, said there is a poss!bility- the proposal will be promulgated on November 22, the anniversary of the liturgical reforms of Pius XII. Once the liturgy proposal is promulgated, many of its provisions will be immediately applicable. Those dealing with the use-of vernacular languages, however, will have to wait for action by national hierarchies.

AUSTRALASIA'S BISHOPS MET REGULARLY, DISCUSS AREA'S NEEDS The Bishops of Australia, New Zealand and various parts of New Guinea and Oceania have been meeting regularly in Rome during the second session of the Second Vatican Council under the presidency of His Eminence Cardinal Gilroy. At the meetings .subcommittees of Bishops have been appointed to study the various schemata that are being or will be discussed in the Council. These sub-committees report back to the general meetings with a view to the Bishops speaking with a common voice in the Council. His Lordship Bishop Cahill, of Cairns, Queensland, spoke in the name of the group when he intervened during the 65th general congregation of the Council on November 12. Bishop Cahill's address was on Chapter Two ( "About Coadjutor and Auxiliary Bishops") of the schema on "Bishops and the Government of Dioceses." When it is not possible to have unanimity on a particular question, individual Bishops speak in their own name or send their vota in writing to the relevant conciliar commission. (The vota expressed in writing have equal weight with those expressed verbally.) At the inVitation of many other hierarchies, the Bishops of our region have appointed official representatives to those Hierarchies in order to determine what common
--- By — FATHER M. COST1GAN policies might be enunciated and to discuss common needs and difficulties. MISSION NEEDS At their meetings the Bishops have given special attention to the problems of mission territories within the general area they represent, and a committee has been appointed to make a closer study of the needs of those areas. Some of the Bishops who are in charge of these territories have presented reports to the meetings on the particular difficulties they face. The other Bishops appreciate the wonderful opportunity of meeting their confreres from the missions and of learning more about the work being done arid the problems to be overcome there. The needs of the Church at home are constantly in the minds of the Bishops attending t h e Council. Many of the matters discussed at their meetings are directly concerned with those needs. As mentioned in the release from the Bishops, the intervention by Bishop Cahill on November 12 was on behalf of the whole
Hierarchy. The following summary of Bishop Cahill's address appeared in the news bullettin issued by the Council Press Office: If the Vicar-General is expected to be one juridical person with the residential bishop, this is all the more applicable to a Coadjutor Bishop. Consequently, the passage in the text which requires only that the Coadjutor should consult with the residential bishop before undertaking anything important should be modified in order to require the consent of residential the bishop. Auxiliary Bishops should have the same faculties as Vicars-General. Instead of requiring the resignation of aged bishops it would be better simply to appoint a Bishop Administrator, preferably without making him an Apostolic Administrator. The retiring bishops should be assured particularly of the same prayers after death as for those bishops who die in office.
The Catholic Press Association of Australia and New Zealand will be represented by its secretary at a meeting in Rome from November 30 to December 1 of the Bureaux of the International Catholic Press Union. This meeting was arranged to coincide with the second session of the Ecumenical Council. The Pope has appointed 12 mose cardinals to the commision which is redrafting the Code of Canon Law. Among the new members of the commission is His Eminence Cardinal Gilroy, Archbishop of Sydney. •

SAIGON REPORT By FATHER PATRICK O'CONNOR, S.S.C.
SAIGON (Wetnam).— The Information Minister of the Military Revolutionary Council and provisional government here called the deaths of the late President Ngo dinh Diem and his brother Ngo dinh Nhu accidental sukide." Brigadier-General Tran tu Cai was answering this correspondent at the formal press conference at which all members of the military council and provisional government were presented to Vietnamese and foreign journalists. The question put to the General was as follows: "Early on Saturday, November 2, a premature and apparently inaccurate report was published alleging that Mr. Diem and Mr. Nhu had committed suicide. Does the military council intend to publish a correction now?" The General answered that the deaths could be called ''accidental suicide." He explained this by recounting that when the two prisoners were entering an armoured vehicle, an M113 armed personnel carrier a large crowd had gathered which "would like to lynch them." He said Nhu argued with the captain in charge who then pushed him into the vehicle. He said Nhu grasped the captain's pistol and there was a scuffle. As a result, the two prisonei:s were shot, he said.
Misinformed The General had apparently been misinformed. There was only a small number of spectators, mostly Chinese. These remember no demonstration, hostile or otherwise, and were aware of no trouble about the prisoners entering the vehicle. As only 20 minutes were available for questions and answers at the press conference, this correspondent was asked not to pursue the subject until afterwards. After the conference he told Brigadier-General Oai that "accidental suicide" is a contradiction. He explained that among Christians suicide is a grievous sin— which fact the General said he understood—and pointed out that it would be unjust to use the word in this case. He suggested that the Military Revolutionary Council consider issuing a correction. No corrections appeared up to the date of Nvriting this report.
BURIAL Answering another correspondent, the General said the bodies of the late president and his brother had been given to relatives for burial. The two bodies are believed to have been in the mortuary of St. Paul's clinic from the afternoon or evening of Noevember 2. During the curfew hours of the night of November 3-4 they were apparently removed. A later report cited Mrs. Tran trung Dung, a niece of the late President, as confirming that her two uncles were buried secretly on November 7 in a military Cemetery outside Saigon. The report said the cemetery was under close guard and no official source announced the funeral. At the press conference, Brigadier-General Oai's announcement that the government had "sent Madame Nhu's three children abroad" was applauded as an act of consideration. It is understood that the U.S. Air Force flew them first to Bangkok, Thailand. from where they took a commer-
cial plane to Rome, where t heir uncle, Archbishop Pierre Ngo dinh Thuc of Hue, received them. Brigadier-General Oai declared: "We military people do not make a revolution for the sake of revenge."
SAIGON CALM Three days after the coup. November 4, Saigon was outwardly calm, but armed soldiers were much in evidence. Feverish activities are reported among the elements of political parties, including Buddhist groups, which are eager to take advantage of whatever opportunities t he changes may present. The Military Revolutionary Committee is said to be not entirely at ease, uncertain who may be joining in these activities and what they may lead to. 2arly mob violence, mainly youthful, was directed buildings, newsagainst paper offices and motorcars associated with the Diem government. Military authorities made little or no effort to prevent it. No attacks were made on any Catholic institutions in the capital. Anxiety is felt for the future, especially regarding a militant Buddhist student group. Speeches made at Xa Loi Pagoda were strongly political. The official allegation that the late president and his brother committed suicide is widely disbelieved by The non-Christians also. allegation is definitely untrue, as this correspondent has reported. Nothing but rumours were available regarding the burial of the two men. There is no attempt by the crowd to find and desecrate their bodies. As of November 5, the American Embassy here had made no public protest against the violent deaths of the late President and his brother or against the allegation that they had committed suicide. Among the 14 generals on the 22-man Military Revolutionary Committee, two are Catholics. The president of the committee, Major-General Duong van Minh, is not a Christian.

Bishop Fuitort Sheen . . .
BLESSED ARE THE CLEAN OF HEART ANOTHER BEATITUDE OF THE WORLD IS
.
"Blessed is sex, for through it you wigl have free expression and avoid frustration." THE BEATITUDE OF THE GOD-MAN IS . .
"Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God."
I
T goes back to one of the most beautiful stories of the Old Testament when Moses asked to see the glory of God. God told him that it was impossible, for no one could look upon Him face to face. God, however, conceded to Moses a view of Him, as it were, passing through the cleft of a rock. But all that Moses saw was merely the retreating procession of God, not the vision of one advancing face to face.
IN THE HEART IN THE Old Testament, purity was principally a matter of observing certain rituals and ceremonies, but in this Beatitude, purity is centred in the heart and attitude of soul. The very fact that the vision of God is promised to the pure in heart means that there are some to whom this boon cannot be given. The vision is spiritual and depends not on what
r
is outside of the eye, but what is inside of the heart. This is even true psychologically. Moral character and the state of a man's mind makes a difference to what he sees. It is too often assumed that a right understanding of God depends upon education This and intellectual training. Beatitude insists that there is a moral, as well as an intellectual condition of coming to the knowledge of God. Most people are kept from Him not just because of difficulties they have with the Creed, but rather because of difficulties they have with the Commandments. It is not in the way they THINK, but in the way they ACT that they become crossed up.
BLINDS DOWN A KEEN spiritual observer will inquire just as rapidly into a man's behaviour as into his concepts. Each day of life we are either fitting ourselves for the vision of
God, or else blinding ourselves to to it. The sun may be outside of the window, but if we keep the blinds down, the light cannot come in. As Our Blessed Lord said: "You will not come to Me because your lives are evil." Actually, the frustrated, miserable, unhappy souls in the world are those who have clouded their character by a failure to see that sex is a mystery, that it is ,a continuation of the creativity of God and only when used within His holy purposes does it give full satisfaction both to body and soul. Friends are not seen only by the eyes of the body. The friend that one loves is discerned spiritually, known by his truth and the nobility of his character, which the senses cannot see. Purity, likewise, gives communion with the loving Spirit of the Father, and brings to us an understanding and love of Him. The vision of the soul has something to do with the afflictions of the heart. Try to tell an egotist the beauty of unselfishness. You might as well tell a deaf man about the harmony of a Beethoven. Telling the carnal man about purity and its rewards, is telling the blind of colour. The man whose heart is unholy sees not God. To the impure, nothing is pure, for he carries defilement with him. To be pure in heart is to make purity everywhere. The pure in heart shall sec God in nature's mirror and in science, in creation's visions and the voices of every colour. TL will see Him in His Providence. They will even see Him in the mysteries they cannot understand.

For example, when the moderators originally presented the four questions they wanted the Fathers to vote on, the Presidency overruled them because such an act was not permitted by the council rules. The matter was referred to the Co-ordinating Commission, which met with the Cardinals of the presidency and moderators and worked out a way in which the questions could be presented without violating the rules and that the wording of the questions could not be interpreted as favouring one side or another.

V ATICAN CITY.—"Pope John has guided us from Heaven and Pope Paul ,has upheld his inspiration," a bishop said here in c ommenting on developments in the Ecumenical Council. His words express the prevailing among entiment s a great majority of his folf ellow council Fathers lowing the crucial test votes on the schema on the Nature of the Church which on October 30 marked a decisive turning-point in council history. The council refusal on November 20 last year to approve a draft proposal, or schema, on the sources of R evelation determined the trend of the council. The October 30 acceptance in principle of the concept of the collegiality of the bishops has established unmistakably that the council wants "aggiornamento" (updating) as it was visualised by Pope John and confirmed by Pope Paul. That is, an all-level rejuvenation, renewal and inner reform of the Church. As the council reconvened on November 5 after a fourday recess to discuss the schema on bishops and diocesan government, the council found it had gained momentum in regard to both subject matter and procedure. For the October 30 vote also considerably strengthened the four cardinal moderators. They emerged from the debates aware that they are the men fully responsible for conducting the council's business under the direct authority of the Pope. STREAMLINED From now on the debates, which were lagging because of too much oratory, will be effectively streamlined. This does not mean that all stalemates and delays can be avoided. But, according to reliable information, the Holy Father has let it be known that from now on he wants the Theological Commission to meet daily rather than once a week so that a r evised schema on the Nature of the Church—which now includes a special chapter on Our Lady—can soon reach the council floor. A large number of suggested amendments must be considered. But the commission's task is now much less burdensome because the test votes clearly expressed the preference of the majority of the bishops. .The principle that the bishops are successors of the Apostles' "college," and therefore share with the Pope in governing the Universal Church, will now fill a gap which remained after the First Vatican Council of
1869-70 and will provide a clearly defined doctrine on the Church. FAR-REACHING In accordance with the Pontiff's own desire, its adoption will have farreaching consequences, especially in regard to decentralisation of the Roman curia's administation. In this connection many council Fathers have recommended that membership in the council commissions be changed to reflect better the wishes of the council majority. When commission members were originally chosen at the beginning of the council, the Fathers were not so well acquainted with one another as they are now. Also, Pope John had to appoint more officials of the curia than seemed opportune to make sure of their co-operation. A petition addressed to Pope Paul which already bears the signatures of many bishops shows that an attempt is now being made to make a fresh start. The petition urges that instead of having curia officials as c ommission presidents, others be named, especially young men who can expedite procedures and translate into action the will of the council majority. MISSION BISHOPS Criticism is frequently heard in council lobbies regarding the unnecessary delasy of commission meetings. In addition, missionary bishops have expressed disappointment that a schema on the missions, which might suitably be combined with the Church,
MAY CLOSE This gives credibility to a rumour, reported by Auxiliary Bishop Josef Zimmermann, of Augsburg, .Ger many, in diocesan his paper, Ulrichsblatt, that the Pope may close the council after the present session and call a new council at some indefinite time in the future. This would give the bishops time to study more carefully the many issues on the present council agenda without being absent from their Sees too long. Should this happen, the council would appoint vanout post-council commissions to carry on its work during the prolonged interval. But it is agreed among council officials that the schema on the Church must be disposed of in any case. With its adoption, the council would have achieved its principal aim of a "horizontal" reform of the Church's basic structure. The new supreme governing body directly responsible to the Pope which is expected to emerge within its scope would see to it that reform is carried out.

has still not been distributed. They have also expresed fears that it might not be discussed at all. It appears doubtful under the circumstances that debate on the schema on the Church can be finished before the council's second session adjourns on December 4. Even with overhauling its machinery, the council may need considerably more time than originally expected to finish its business.

ials, equipment, library books and for such running expenses as light, heat and water, Mr. Holyoake said. He added that the government will supply furniture and equipment to new private schools wand private schools that grow in size on "substantially the same scale" as it now supplies to State schools. New Zealand's private schools already receive free text-books. Eighty-six per cent of all private schools in New Zealand are Catholic. The Catholic schools cost about £7,415,000 a year, The proposed grants will cover only a small fraction of the cost of the schools. But, for the first time since the Education Act of 1877, private schools are placed on par with State schools in at least a limited sector of costs. Commenting on the government's announcement, the leader of an interdenominational committee that asked on September 10 for an education allowance for parents, Donald McKenzie, a Presbyterian, said: "It is not what we asked for, but we feel it is a very substantial addition to the present type of aid."

ADVERTISING TO BLAME NEW YORK.—A NATIONAL LEGION OF DECENCY SPOKESMAN TOLD MOVIE EXHIBITORS HERE THE PUBLIC IS CRITICISING THE INDUSTRY TODAY NOT FOR ITS PRODUCT BUT FOR ITS ADVERTISING. Monsignor Thomas F. Little, executive secretary of the Catholic agency which issues moral evaluations of movies, had praise for the general quality of films. Speaking to the convention of the Theatre Owners of America, he said the legion last year judged more than 80 per cent of all films reviewed as morally unobjectionable for some segment of the audience. He said it would be "an inexcusable distortion of the general factual situation" to speak of the "sinful condition" of movies. But he said he is convinced that the general public harbours "widespread criticism" of the industry. "Ironically," he said, "the reason is to be largely found in the very instrument upon which you rely to sell your product; I mean, of course, your advertising." Monsignor Little then read some objectionabl phrases and described questionable art work used to advertise what he said were "important films from two of our American companies." suggested to He the theatre owners that "your first step in building a bridge to universal respect in the community and to attracting to your theatres the huge audiences which habitually shun you is to do something about your advertising." "I have confidence," he said, "that your organisation can use its creative influence to correct a practice which not only offends public decency, but is a most serious handicap to your business prosperity as well."

THE SITUATION THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY IS EXTREMELY COMPLEX. It is often difficult for Polish Catholics themselves to be sure which way the breeze is blowing. The problem stems in part from the fact that the official policy seems to be fluctuating constantly. The regime will yield on one matter one day but reverse itself the following day. Many decisions concerning Church-State relations are made, moreover, on the local level. Here there is no consistency. It seems to depend largely on local situations and personalities. The official atheist orientation of the Polish regime has its greatest impact on the father and the children of a Christian family. A known Christian father can be the object of discrimination where he works, and he must work for the government since practically all industry and all enterprise are owned by the, government.
30 Per Cent HOWEVER, such discrimination affects only about 30 per cent of the people. For about 70 per cent of the working population, their church membership or dedication to Christianity just is not relevant. A practising Christian would have greater difficulties getting ahead in such teaching, as professions journalism and law, in which ideology is frequently involved. He would have fewer problems in such
fields as chemistry, engineering, etc. Even where there is a seeming relevance between a person's known church membership and his work, there is a great variation in whether the worker is penalised for this. This depends largely on a person's supervisor. Some are tolerant; others are not. A mother working in the home would not be greatly affected directly by the regime's programme to inculcate atheism, since the government does not control her livelihood. If she OI

The Holy See would have the advantage of having a generally free observer on the spot.

The new parish Church of St. Maurice de Duvernay in Montreal has been described as "a geometrical fantasy in concrete, glass and stone." The parish programme matches the a vant-garde style of its Church architecture. The parish income comes solely from tithing and the Sunday offering. Eighty laymen act as Mass commentators and readers, singers, Mass servers and ushers. No fees are charged for funerals, marriages, and baptisms, and gifts on such occasions are refused.

Catholic opposition to contraception and tax-supported birth control is widely known. Less apparent for many has been a positive Catholic response to population problems. The Centre for Population Research at Georgetown University here represents such a response. Established last January with a three-year 150,000 dollar Ford Foundation grant (matched by Georgetown on a one-for-two basis), the Centre is pioneering in an inter -disciplinary approach to population research. Its present emphases are two — physiological and demographic. But with time, money and manpower its directors hope to develop a research programme involv-
"We have not only an obligation but an opportunity to explore in depth some of the more pressing issues that face us in the population field," says the Centre's director, Dr. Benedict J. Duffy. The Centre has a meaningful job to do quite apart from controversies over birth control and the -population explosion," adds Thomas K. Busch, its director of demographic studies. "The study of population apart from the current controversy is an important subject," Burch said. "It is thoroughly appropriate that Georgetown as a university devote itself to these scientific problems."

It is being conducted in cooperation with Dr. H. A. Salhanick of Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, and aims to develop a test for determining the time of ovulation. In the area of demolgraphy, Burch is planning a study of "the family life and fertility of U.S. Catholics." This is envisioned as much more than just a "Catholic birth control" study. It will deal with broad questions of Catholic attitudes and practices in marriage and family life.
There is a quick and certain way to reduce these deaths by 25 percent and injuries by 60 percent, and this is by persuading people to fit and wear seat belts. With the welfare of more than 12,600 Australians in mind, the Australian Road Safety Council makes an appeal to commercial and community organisations throughout the length and breadth of the nation to swing solidly behind the campaign to encourage the voluntary installation and use of belts. "This is a case where a Irttle help from a lot of people can have a dramatic
r esult," the Chairman of the A ustralian Safety Road C ouncil (Dr. J. R. Darling) said this week.
"We are certain that if all the techniques of mass communication are turned on to the promotion of seat belts, their use will multiply throughout the land." R ESULTS
Dr. Darling said that the Council's belief was based on the results of recent promotions in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane as a result of which the sales of seat belts had increased. Dr. Darling said that every garage and service station operator in Australia could a ssist the campaign by prominently displaying seat belts advertising to their customers about fitting belts.
Every commercial firm engaged in public advertising campaigns could help by inserting references to the lifesaving benefits of installing and wearing seat belts.
Community organisation, could help by reminding their members of the value of seat belts to themselves and their passengers. "If we knew that some disaster was going to involve 12,000 Australians we would mobilise every possible resource to deal with the problem," said Dr. Darling. This
is
truly the case
with road accidents bcause we know from the figures, that these people will be involved in death and misery unless we persuade them to safeguard themselves with seat belts," he added. A SSISTANCE
Dr. Darling said that the Australian Road Safety Council and road safety organisations in every State were ready to assist commercial and community organisations which wanted to help. Press material, slogans, pamphlets, films, slides and other information were readily available to assist advertisers and organisations..

PROJECTS
Currently the Centre has three major projects either under way or in the planning stage. Two are in medicine and one in demography. The most widely publicised is a nationwide research project aimed at determining the length and other characteristics of the normal menstrual cycle. Plans for the study call for some 3,000 to 5,000 Cabeginning women, tholic next January, to submit monthly reports to the Centre for two years. The information they will provide is "not presently available and is necessary for statistical analysis of the rhythm method of family planning," according to Duffy. A pilot project demonstrating the feasibility of such a study was carried out, beginning last January, with some 300 Christian Family Movement members in New York. The study aims at determining more than just the length of menstrual cycles. Duffy hopes it also will provide data on the "great variety of physical and psychological changes" which have been reported as alleged indicators of ovulation but never adequately evaluated.

Day's Strike Over Subskly
Jesuit Denied Visitor's Visa
TEACHERS in western France's Catholic schools went on strike for a day to protest against delays in applying a 1959 law which subprivate France's sidises schools. The purpose of the strike —which gave 350,000 children a holiday — was to focus attention on the still incomplete application of the 1959 Debre scheool law. The law offers four plans of direct State support for private schools and includes varying degress of State control. Ninety-three per cent of France's private schools are Catholic. Most of the Catholic schools have signed agreements under the Debre law. Delays in carrying out the law's provisions have been the subject of earlier protests by teachers' unions and parents' organisations.
FATHER Riccardo Lombardi, S.J., founder of the Movement for a Better World, has been refused a visa to go to Mexico. The Italian priest, who has travelled in virtually every country in the free world, has repeatedly filed applications for a visa with the Mexican government for the past couple of years. Father Lombardi has never been told officially why his applications have been refused. But unofficially he has learned that his name has been linked with a Carmelite publication in Mexico City, Mundo Mejor (For A Better World), which has been outspoken in its criticism of the Mexican government's policy regarding religion. Despite the similarity of names, the Mexican magazine and Father Lombardi's movement have no connection.

THE U.S. Navy has given 6.5001b. of medical supplies for a 30-bed hospital built by a French missionary on Quemoy, the oft-shelled island off the China coast. Presenting the supplies to Father Bernard Druetto, O.F.M.—the only missionary on the island for the last nine years — was Captain Straus S. Leon, chief of the Navy section, U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group for Nationalist China. Father Druetto built the hospital almost single-handed. After the first floor had been completed, a communist shell partially destroyed it. Father Druetto repaired the damage and continued building. The hospital was completed last summer.

Seminarists Drafted P OLAN D'S communist government has drafted students at four seminaries into the armed forces, according to reports received in Berlin. The reports said the four were in Warsaw, Poznan, Przemysl and Tarnow. They added that news of the students' drafting has been telegraphed by the Polish bishops to Stefan Cardinal Wyszinski, the Primate of Poland, now at the Vatican for the Ecumenical Council. The drafting of seminarians is "a clear act of religious discrimination, because students of other schools of higher education are exempt from military service until the end of their studies. Furthermore, this practice is contrary to the agreement of April, 1950, in which the government assured the Polish Episcopate that semiriarians would not be inducted into the army."

Sentences For Rioters
NINE extremist Orthodox Jewish youths were sentenced in Haifa for their forcible entry into a Protestant school on September 10. The convicted youths had forced their way into the school on the same day that hundreds of other fanatical youngsters staged anti-mission riots against Catholic and Protestant schools in Jerusalem and Tel AvivJaffa. In October ten rioters in Jaffa were fined £24/ 15/- to £59/10/- and given suspended gaol sentences of six months. Eight of the nine defendants in Haifa were sentenced to £74/5/- fines or 60 days in gaol. The ninth was given a additional fine of £37/5/- for spitting on a policeman. The trial of more than a hundred youths who rioted in Jerusalem is proceeding.

ROME: THE ROLE OF THE LAYMAN IN THE CHURCH CONTINUES TO BE THE SUBJECT OF WIDE DISCUSSION BY THOSE TAKING PART IN THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
Sister M. Nicholas, C.S.J., a teacher in the Boston College research programme on first grade pupil failures, helps a proud student to put his drawing on display. The 20 public and parochial school students in the project have failed in first grade studies for two c onsecutive years; the programme's purpose is to determine the causes of failure and develop techniques for treating or preventing it. In the first year of the study, significant progress has been reported.
BOMBED CATHEDRAL NOW HAS NEW MAIN ALTAR
In three separate interviews given to the Divine Word news service, two bishops and a layman gave their views on the subject. Archbishop Denis Hurley, 0.M.I., of Durban, South Africa, said the hierarchy has to recognise and respect the position, rights and responsibility of the layman. "Although the hierarchy is entrusted with functions of teaching, directing and sanctifying, in the fuller and more formal sense of those terms, it is becoming obvious that in actual fact the witness of the layman and the influence of the layman's Christian life are what make a real impact on the w orld," he said. "Agreeing with this point, Emilio Inglessis, one of the
B ERLIN,— Archbishop Alfred Bengsch, of Berlin, has consecrated the main altar of the restored Cathedral of St. Hedwig on the East Berlin side of the Berin Wall. St. Hedwig's was destroyed during a bombing raid on the night of March 1-2, 1943. The Berlin diocese, which has 571,200 Catholics, includes all of this divided city. East Berlin's communist authorities did not allow West Berlin's 296,500 Catholics to attend the ceremony. East Berlin has 133,000 Catholics and 141,700 more live in its suburbs. The ceremony came exactly 190 years after the first St. Hedwig's church was consecrated in 1773. The church was raised to a min-
13 lay auditors admitted to the council hall, said that the mission of the laity includes the consecration of the world. ORDINARY WORLD "But the world meant here is not only the Catholic world in which we live," he said, "but rather the world of profane realities in which we laymen spend our daily lives." He said that the secular world was a "mission field" closer to the layman than to the cleric. On the other hand, Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer of Campos, Brazil, said that it is wrong to "interpret the great attention given by the Vatican council to the laity as a kind of democratisation of the Church." stressed that the He "Church will never abandon its divinely established monThere archial structure. will always be shepherds to guide the Church under the orientation of the supreme shepherd, the pope."
SPECIAL But Bishop Mayer granted that the structure of the Church does not impede the hierarchy from listening to their flocks. "In fact, special attention should be given to those laymen who are highly competent in their particular professions," he said. Such assistance will be "given conscientiously by the laity and will be of inestimable value," he said, and added: "At the same time, the laity, mindful that they are the sheep in the Kingdom of God, will remain docile and will allow themselves to be guided by their legitimate shepherds." 4PsONININNININNIPAINNNININIP4sdPeip......~.11N14

After World War II, Berlin's bishops lived in West Berlin, but Archbishop Bengsch, who was Auxiliary in East Berlin when he was named Ordinary in 1961, still lives in East Berlin. He is allowed to visit the western part of the city three days a month. He took advantage of the fourday recess of the ecumenical council to return for the consecration on All Saints' Day.
Four Bishops In Car Crash
ROME,— Four American bishops were injured in an automobile accident while touring the Holy Land on November 4. Two are hospitalized in Tel Avv, Israel. The hospitalised prelates are Bishop William G. Conflare of Greensburg, Pa., and Auxiliary Bishop John J. Scanlan of Honolulu. Hawaii. The other two, injured but able to return to Rome, are Bishop Paul L. Hagarty, 0.S.B., of Nassau, Bahamas, who is a native of Greene, Iowa, and Auxiliary Bishop John F. Hackett of Hartford. The four had gone to the Holy Land during a fourday break in the Second Vatican Council, Nov. 1 to 4. They were riding in a taxicab to the airport in Tel Aviv when a truck struck their vehicle broadside.

ANGLICAN BISHOP IN FRANK INTERVIEW
Thursday, November 21, 1963
RECORD
RED CROSS CENTENNIAL
ROME,— The establishment of a secretariat for relations with nonChristian religious bodies envisaged by Pope Paul might be prejudicical to efforts toward Chr:Itian unity, in the opinion of the Rt. Rev. Dr. John Moorman, Anglican Bishop of Ripon, England. Bishop Moorman is here as an official delegate-observer of the ecumenical council on behalf of the Anglican Communion. "To my mind," said Bishop Moorman in ap interview, "it would be a mistake to let ourselves be diverted from our principal objective which is Christian unity. This task is difficult enough, and I do not see what could be gained at this stage by widening the scope of interfaith relations beyond the realm of those who believe in Christ. "Speaking only for myself, I must say that I would see no useful purpose in my remaining here, were we to be engaged in contacts and conversations not directly pertinent to the objective we pursue in the ecumenical movement. A LL FACE IT "Let us concentrate on this immediate challenge all Christians face. No greater progress could be achieved in our relations with other religious bodies than by first realising a unity at least of purpose within our own ranks as Christians. This is our pre-eminent task. If eventually, by the grace of God, it can be accomplished, the impact toward a better understanding among believers of all creeds as well." Bishop Moorman was asked about his impressions of the present council session. "The draft proposals now debated in the council," he replied "certainly are more acceptable to us than those submitted at the first ses-
sion. The work done by the committees during the intermittent period has borne great fruit. We Anglicans, of course, still have reservations. BAPTISM "We feel that Christian Bapfism should be accepted as the mark of unity even though it does not imply actual membership in the Catholic Church. In a sense Anglicans and Roman Catholics already are united, for we have the same creeds and practice a similar liturgy." "Could you then," I interjected, "accept the primacy of the pope?" "We are not averse to recognising a supreme head of a united Christian Church," the Bishop said, "provided there was unity without uniformity. The draft proposal now under consideration w oul seem to pave the way toward a new understanding of infallability as an attribute .of the Church as a whole which would dispose of some fundamental relevant misapprehension on our part. LEO XIII DECREE "At the same time we must insist on the validity of our holy orders, and I think some way might be f ound to revise or re interpret the decree of Pope Leo XIII of 1896, which termed them defective in intention. This is a sore point with us because it amounted to our being 'unchurched,' if you will. It is difficult to understand why our holy orders should be considered invalid while those of the Orthodox

Churches are accepted as perfectly acceptable. "Then take the veneration of the Blessed Virgin. In the Anglican calendar we have five Marian feasts, which shows we are not opposing Mariological theology, provided it avoids concessions to a popular type piety alien to our mentality. This is why we cannot subscribe to certain papal pronouncements on Mary which to us appear as not truly Christological. _ If Mary were conceived more properly as a symbol of all humanity, the area of disagreement between the Roman Catholic Church and ourselves would be narrowed down considerably, without compromising the integrity of our common creed." C ELIBACY "Is not," i asked, "the issue of clerical celibacy also a stumbling block between us?" "Not if in matters not doctrinal, freedom is mutually replied Bishop granted," Moorman. "We seem to agree that celibacy of the clergy is not rooted in divine law, and the Orthodox Church has a married clergy just as we have it. As a matter of fact, when confronted with problems such as birth-control I think that married clerics have a of understanding better them than celibates. Differing views on this score should not stand in the way of Christian unity." "In this as in other respects," Bishop Moorman said in concluding the interview. "it would be helpful if the draft proposals discussed in the council did not only present the Cafholic point of view, but also gave some consideration to the views of other Christians. "Did not Pope Paul in his opening address to the present council session express 'reverence for the true religious patrimony we share in common'? If this sentiment is reflected in the council deliberations, we may indeed have high hopes that Christian unity perhaps will not be as distant a goal as it now appears."
Crown Auctioned LONDON: The historic crown of Our Lady of the Andes, made 371 years ago and now owned by a North American group, is to be Sotheby's at auctioned auction rooms in London's West End on Thursday, November 21. In 1532. citizens of Popayan in the Colombian Andes made the crown in thanksgiving for escaping a smallpox epidemic. It is solid gold, stands 13 inches high, weights 131b. ?.nd is encrusted with a dazzling display of 453 emeralds It was made for a statue of the Blessed Virgin in the Popayan Cathedral. Pirates later stole the crown, but it was recaptured. In 1914, Pope St. Pius X gave permission for the crown to be sold to help finance building a badly needed orphanage, hospital and a home for the aged. It was not until 1936 that the crown was actually sold, to a syndicate formed by the late Warren Piper of Chicago. Since then it has been almost continually on exhibition tours for charity.
The 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Red Cross in Geneva, now being observed by nations throughout the world, recalls the world-wide humanitarian work o f the organization in times of peace and war. In the painting above, the artist depicts t he service rendered by members of religious orders who aided the war -wounded, soldiers and civilians alike, in the Middle Ages. The Order of the Most Holy Trinity (Trinitatians) founded in 1 197 and the Order of St. Camillus, founded in 1584, both wore a red cross on t heir habits. Not only did they render first aid to the battlefields and in plague infested v illages, but received the victims into the monastery hospitals. They also ransomed Christians taken prisoner by invading infidel armies.
COUNCIL'S DRAMATIC DAY FROM PAGE 1 acted as a collegial body. From the collegial character of the Apostolic College they deduce the collegial character of the body of the bishops. But even learned and experienced professors of Sacred Scripture will admit that this thesis has no solid foundation in the sacred books Defending collegiality entails some limitation of at least the exercise of the universal primacy of the Roman pontiff. The fact is that Peter only has responsibility for the whole flock of Christ. It is not the sheep who lead Peter, but it is Peter who leads the sheep."
Intervention! Coming out of the basilica after the meeting. a number of bishops remarked that ,after the exchange between the two cardinals, they expect the Pope to intervene personally to settle the question. At the U.S. Bishops' press panel following the council assembly, Father Frederick R. McManus. council expert and faculty members at the Catholic University of America. said that it is common practice for the Holy Office to hand down decisions in marriage cases without giving the reasons which led to their decision. Father Francis J. Connell, C.SS.R. another council expert, former dean of the Catholic University School of Sacred Theology, testified from his own experience that the Holy Office does not "accuse, judge and condemn" without giving an author a hearing. He said he was once reported to the Holy Office. Officials of the Holy Office wrote to him asking for his side and, after he replied, the matter was dropped.
Archbishop Joseph T McGucken of San Francisco said "my experienct has been that the Holy Office does indeed consult a large number of people. However. I do think that the Holy Office can be brought up to date." Opposing views on the q uestion of bringing bishops to Rome to assist the Pope in the government of the Church were taken by two other cardinals — Laurean Cardinal Bukoba. Rugpmbwa of Tanganyika. and Michael Cardinal Browne. 0.P.. of the Curia.
In this 63rd general the first congregation chapter of the schema on bishops and diocesan government was concluded and the discussion passed on to the second chapter. The first chapter concerns the relationships of bishops with the Roman Curia and the role of bishops in the government of the Church. The second deals with coa n d auxiliary adjutor bishops appointed to assist a bishop who is unable to govern a diocese alone because of old age, ill-health, vastness of territory or excessive number of faithful.

Scotswoman knits to success T HE day comes to every mother when the youngest child—the knitting machine, bought some red wool "baby" of the family —starts school. All of a sudden the house and decided she was in business. first garment she made in her role seems empty, and looking after the family's needs is no longer as The a professional knitter was a small boy's a day-long occupation. suit, which she sold at once to a
For many wives this is the moment to start looking around for new interests. Now, for the first time since their children were born, they have time and energy to extend their horizons—as well as their incomes—by taking on outside w ork. Town-dwellers, with factories, shops and offices within easy reach, may not find it diffcult to locate a job which suits them — perhaps part-time employment which will give them a chance to finish each day's household tasks before setting off to work. But what do you do if you live miles from a city, in an isolated c ommunity which offers few opportunities for outside employment?
MRS. BRENDA HORNE had a prompt answer to this—she would start her own business and run it from home. The difficulties were formidable. She lives far from any acknowledged centre of business—her home is in Halkirk, Caithness, a village in the remote north of Scotland, surrounded by mile upon mile of moorland. She had no funds and no trade connections. All she had was time. Undeterred, she decided to capitalise on her talent for knitting. She planned to invite orders and knit the garments herself. But she soon realised that one person, handling one pair of needles, was not likely to make rapid progress, so, for an outlay of £ 5, she paid a deposit on a
neighbour. Despite this early success, her "business" for the first three months had to be subsidised out of the housekeeping money. By then she had discovered something else as well—she must revert to hand-knitting. In the minds of the clients she was acquiring, Scotland was associated with the craft skills of a people famous for their handling of wool. It was the results of inherited craftsmanship, shown in exclusive hand-knitting, which customers wanted to buy. So Mrs. Horne took her second big decision. She decided to expand her business along these very different lines and to advertise locally for hand-knitters. Replies came from all parts of the
BY MARION HARRIS * district, from men as well as women, often living in isolated farmsteads or on islands off the coast, and glad of an opportunity to put their skill to good account. The advertisements were brief and to the point, and Mrs. Home's business was new to the area, so that at first some of her "employees" assumed she must be the mother of many children who wanted help in knitting for her own large family.
INTERNATIONAL CLIENTELE So, indeed, she did, but it was for a family of clients rather than of children. She advertised her knitwear in newspapers and magazines and opened showcases in shops and hotels. Soon inquiries were coming in from private individuals and from firms and boutique shops in Britain, the United States of America, Canada and Switzerland. . An increasing number of overseas visitors made the journey to her village to see the finished products — sweaters, scarves, socks and christening shawls—and to buy exclusive garments. As orders increased, so Mrs. Horne found herself taking more and more knitters on to her payroll. She grew to know each one's style and was able to allocate work specially matched to their individual capabilities. The completed work has to be of a very high standard, with no faults or knots, and Brenda Horne claims that none of her knitters has ever let her down. The knitting—often elaborately worked in traditional Scottish patterns—is done in separate pieces, which are then sent off to Mrs. Horne for pressing and sewing up. It is one of her rules that- the finishing must always be done under expert supervision and none of the individual knitters is asked to take this work on. As a result, she has had to establish a permanent staff of " finishers at Halkirk—a staff which has grown steadily. She herself still deals with all of the bookkeeping and the firm's general administration personally.

Fathers of the Ecumenical Council. The W.U.C.W.O. executives will find it to their a dvantge to consult both the bishops and the council's theological experts regarding problems they are concerned with. Representation of women at the council is but one of these. Miss Bellosillo told me she is confident arrangements for the apointment of women as council "auditors" would eventually be made. She said not only do many cardinals and bishops favour it, but so does Pope Paul VI. Miss Bellosillo said her federation was not planning to make any specific recommendations in this regard, since these decisions rest with the council authorities. She said that in any case it would be important to have both Religious and lay women represented — not only officials of Catholic organisations, but distinguished Catholic women of the professions and other walks of life as well. The problems W.U.W.C.O. is especially interested in are those of the family, according to Miss Bellosillo. As of now it is unknown when the council will take these up, she said, except that Leo Cardinal Seunens of Brussels has indicated
• By . . . FATHER PLACID JORDAN, O.S.B. that they will be considered under the 17th schema. That is the final council project, and concerns "The Position of the Church in the Modern World." But Miss Bellosillo said that Catholic women also feel that their part in the lay apostolate should be given proper consideration in council deliberations. The first draft of the lay apostolate schema was not satisfactory, she said. But she said that its revised version is much more acceptable, and that Catholic women hope to be consulted by the commissions dealing with this topic. Present here f or the W.U.C.W.O. besides Miss Bellosillo are Mrs. Mary Spillman, of Hempstead, U.S.A. and Miss Marie du Rostu, of Paris, both vicepresidents-general of the world union; Miss Elena Cumela, of Argentina; Mrs. Kathleen Burrow, of Australia; Mrs. Jacqueline Stuyt, of England; Mrs. Valentine van Zeebroeck, of Belgium; Miss Carmela Rossi, of Italy; and Miss Elizabeth von Strachotinsky of Austria.
AND MODERN
Mrs. Horne is now preparing her next step. She plans to expand her premises and set up a workshop in the village. She sees this as a way of providing local employment for the young people of the area, many of whom can only find work in the towns. In particular, she plans to tap the neighbourhood's one sizeable reserve of labour—the families of men who have come to work at the nearby Dounreay Atomic Energy Establishment. So this remote corner of Northern Scotland has become the home of two new industries — one as modern as the space age, the other as old as civilisation, and both of them brought together through the energy and initiative of a housewife who could not bear to sit idle.
* WOMEN are expected to live longer than men in England and Wales. The Registrar General's Quarterly Return for the June quarter of 1963 shows that on the basis of the mortality experiences for the three years 1960-1962 the expectation of a boy at birth is 68.1 years and of a girl 74.0 years. It also shows that 6,861 of every 10,000 boys born, and 8.131 of 10.000 girls would be expected to survive to the age of 65. PHONE'.

KENSINGTON (BOYS) A general meeting will be held after devotions this Sunday. Basketball training is held at Clontarf on Sunday mornings: Those requring transport should be outside the church at 10.30 a.m. MOSMAN PARK (GIRLS) At the leaders' meeting held last Wednesday in the school, five girls attended— Pat Fynmore, Veronica Arthur, Maureen Exley, Margaret Taylor and Rosslyn Hayes. We discussed the Christmas social, which we hope to hold a few weeks before Christmas in the form of a record and games evening. All the youth of the parish will be contacted in the next few weeks. We were pleased to hear that Therese Elias now has her leg out of plaster and will soon be walking around again. GUILDFORD ( BOYS) Last Friday evening, the second council was held between the branches of Guildford, Bassendean and Midland at which 20 delegates were present. The main topic discussed was the general meeting and it was decided to hold this on Friday, December 6, at the Guildford Hall. During the past month, leaders from this branch have "sat in" on other branch meetings to get further ideas of the general meeting.
At the boys' leaders' Wednesday, last group Robin Fergusson - Stewart proved quite interesting. Terry Ryan and Richard Thompson were allotted the job of visiting the local milk bars to see the number of youth who go to these places and their interests. After this discussion, the topic of the Boys' Y.C.W. having a full-time worker arose and all in attendance agreed that this was a necessity and this branch is in favour of making a weekly contribution towards financing such a project. Father H. Brennan then gave a brief outline of Youth Sunday, which will be held in this parish. Bill Hebb gave us a further report on the programme for the State Conference to be held at Araluen. Congratulations from this branch to St. Joseph's Youth Group in Bassendean on the production of their first newsletter, "Iuvenis." WEST PERTH For the past few weeks the branch has been selling Messenger Christmas cards as our part in bringing "Christ back into Christmas," and to spread the spirit of Christmas by sending these cards to our friends. As we have a large number of these beautiful cards on hand, we would be pleased to hear from any branch wishing to obtain supplies. Anyone interested should contact V. Parlonga or the ( phone 28-4738) parish priest.
Coming activities planned are as follows — general meeting on Sunday, December 1 (we hope to obtain a guest speaker who will talk on a topic of interest to all); it is hoped that everyone makes a special effort to attend as we would like to finalise arrangements for the annual picnic, venue to be National Park, and our New Year Dance, tentative date is Saturday, January 18, 1964. Following the example of some of our prominent branches, it was felt that we should also have a general Communion and breakfast with a badge presentation during December. Further details will be furnished in the notes when the date is set. A reminder that tennis is played every Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. at Robinson Park in Fitzgerald Street (court number 47 and 48). It has also come to our notice that evening table-tennis the with Highgate may be postponed from Thursday, November 28, as the boys are playing basketball and we will also advise the alternative date.

Both ceremonies were performed by His Lordship bishop M. McKeon. The first church of the two to be opened (Sunday, November 17) was St. John the Baptist church in Toodyay. This was actually the third church to be built in the 110 year history of the parish. The Solemn Mass for the occasion was celebrated by the present parish priest, Father John Chokolich assisted by Father E. McGrath as deacon, Father A. Heron C.R.P., as subdeacon and Father L. Baccini as -master of ceremonies. His Lordship presided at the Mass and Monsignor T. Ahern made the appeal. Present for the occasion were Monsignor J. Cameron and E.

JOYFUL OCCASION The Bishop said that he knew that the people of Toodyay had been looking forward to this day for many years and now that it had come, it was certainly a joyful occasion. He said that he was glad to be there and on behalf of His Grace the Archbishop, he congratulated the people on arriving at this fulfilment of their ambitions.
His Lordship pointed out that this was the first time since his consecration that he had opened a new church. Singling out the Sisters for a special word of praise, he said that they must be happy with the new arrangement of the covered way running from the convent to a special section of the new church which was to be their chapel. "This covered way," he said, "is an outward expression of the golden links formed in sacrifice and devotion to your glorious vocation which has bound the Sisters of Mercy to the Church in Toodyay for over sixty years and today the people of Toodyay might well say, thanks be to God for the Sisters of Mercy'." His Lordship also thanked the members of the Shire Council for their help and co-operation in the preparations for the opening. Finally, he thanked the people for their united sacrifices which had made the building of the church possible.
His Lordship was given a civic reception by the members of the Toodyay Shire Council before the opening took place and all the members of the Shire Council were present with their wives for the Solemn Mass o_f the opening. 700 There were over and parishioners people, visitors for the occasion present for the big day in the history of the Toodyay parish.

He said: "This morning as I offered Mass for the last time in the old church I offered it for all the deceased priests who served this parish so faithfully down through the years and I did not forget to pray for the present parish priest and those other priests who laboured for God in this area and who are now faithfully in Him other serving parishes."

He carries this photo as a reminder and as a sign of his devotion and love for them. Similarly, people wear a ring or a brooch or a bracelet as a reminder of someone they love: The Miraculous Medal is also a reminder; it recalls the care and protection that Mary promised to those who wear it; the blessings and graces she has at hand are shown by the sparkling gems she has on het fingers; and it reminds us of the facts of her unique Immaculate Conception and her divine Motherhood, and our relations to her as childrenand that is why we wear the Medal. The Solemn Novena of half an hour on nine night, in succession is an opportunity to be properly enrolled to wear the Medal; it is an occasion for a her public showing of gratitude to Mary for motherly love and gifts during the year; and it is a big union of prayers asking her help now.

Ryan 0.M.I., preceded the Solemn Mass for the opening of a new Church for the parish of Gosnells last Tuesday evening. second was the This church to be opened by His Lordship Bishop M. McKeon in 27 hours. His Lordship had blessed the church in the preceding week so that the mission could be held. The Solemn Mass for the opening of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament church was offered by the present parish priest, Father T. Prendiville assisted by Father Paul, S.A.C., as deacon, Father J. Dowling. subdeacon and Father F. Walsh as master of ceremonies. Monsignor J. Wallace, and Monsignor J. Bourke assisted His Lordship in the sanctuary. Monsignor M. Giles of Bunbury and Monsignor E. Moss were also present for the occasion. Priests who f ormerly attended the Gosnells parish, Fathers J. McGillicuddy and P. Carmody, who was the first resident priest were present for the Opening Mass with many other priests and Sisters of Mercy and Sisters of St. Joseph from South Perth. The occasional sermon was preached by Father E. McGrath who reminded the people of the important place which their parish church played in their lives. He said, "It will be your privilege to see renewed in this church and to offer yourselves that sacrifice of Christ in this setting which you have provided as a fitting shelter for the altar of sacrifice."

FREMANTLE
'FATHER O'GRADY" His Lordship recalled two priests who had served the area in the past, the late Father Tom O'Grady who had built the old church there 45 years ago and the late Father Jerry Doyle who would have been well known and loved by many of the people present in the church that evening. His Lordship said that the presence of so many priests at the opening served to highlight the importance of the occasion and he congratulated Father Prendiville on the achievement. However he pointed out that Father Prendiville had emphasised to him in a conversation that the building of the church would never have been possible were it not "for the generosity and great sacrifice of my parishioners." Bishop McKeon said that the presence of the Sisters of Mercy at the opening served to remind everyonP, if it were ever neces:,ary, of the valuable contribution which the Sisters were making to the Catholic life of the parish of Gosnells. A RCH ITECT The architect, Mr. R. Moran, had highlighted those features which should be highlighted in a church, particularly the altar and the baptistry. He praised the builder, Mr. H. Hatcher and said that this was his first The church construction. Gosnells Shire Council was thanked by the Bishop for
their assistance in fillings for the grounds and grading work which needed to be done in time for the opening. His Lordship's final word of thanks were reserved for the men of the parish committee who had worked so hard for this and other projects. The newly organised parish choir rendered Perosi's "Missa Te Deum Laudamus" under direction of Mrs. R. Woodley whose daughter. Anne played the organ.

After a resume of the past year's work by the retiring president, Miss Edna Hopkins and her committee for of the financial statement for the year by the retiring treasurer, Mr. Peter Cole, and before the elections themselves commenced, the Therry Chaplain, Father P. McCudden, thanked the outgoing council for its work during the year. He stressed the fact that 1964 is going to be a vital year for the Therry Society in many aspects. A sure sign of the interest of the members of the society in the election of officers was the large number who attended the annual general meeting and the fact that most of the positions on council were contested. Father McCudden congratulated the new council on its appointment, saying
LAY MISSIONARY EVENING That many Catholics are interested in the work of Lay-missionaries, was proved by the good attendance at recent evenings called to answer questions in this regard.

MISSION NOTES
* TRIBUTES TO ARCHBISHOP MANNIX
By Rev. Father W. J. Foley
• Government -Supported Missionaries of Islam The Islamisation of Southern Sudan is being steadily intensified. On orders from a provincial education offifer, at least 80 boys (most of them Christian) have been forced to attend Islamic seminaries in order to become teachers of the Koran. Some 32 prefabricated schools, which were given to the Sudan for a campaign against illiteracy (95 percent of the population are illiterate) were assigned to the Department for Religious Affairs. They used them as Koranic schools for spreading Islamism in the Southern part of the country, where most of the population are Christian or pagan. To escape these abuses, thousands have fled to neighbouring countries.
• Listen to a Missionary Doctor in Africa "Our hospital is really no hospital at all. There is no electricity, and we boil our medical instruments on a petroleum unit. We have 30 beds and inumerable patients: there are some 150 outpatients daily and 70 births each month. 'Late one night, within my first week here, I was called for obstetrics. Five women were in labour, one with complications. Four of t he infants were born simultaneously, two of them on the bare ground — and this all took place in the dim f licker of a petroleum lamp. "And so we go on day after day, battling against. with inadequate disease means. If only we could get a generator, for without electric current we can have no x-rays! If only we could begin to build. "These materials are important if I am to win the confidence of my patients. for they are a shy, superstitious people and must be won over by patience, love and our ability to heal." More than 600 million of the world's children receive no medical care. Nigeria has but one hospital bed for every 3,600 people; in Indonesia there is only one doctor for every 71.000. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith maintains 10,000 hospitals and dispensaries to help alleviate the odds facing missionary doctors like the above. Won't you do your part?
Many tributes have been paid to the late Archbishop Mannix; in his lifetime and after his recent death. The Irish people did not wait until after his death to pay tribute. At all levels, President, Government, Church and people, they had already paid him a remarkable tribute, with gifts r epresenting all sectors of the nation, and there is satisfying nothing more than to know that you have not waited until after a good man's death to pay him tribute. So many were the gifts, that Mr. Jack O'Sheehan, who as organiser in Scotland over forty years ago, invited the Archbishop there after he was prevented from landing in Ireland, tells me that all the gifts haven't yet left Ireland. Jack, from Athlone, and for many years now a V.I.P. in our famous Sweep, tells me that a Donegal carpet and Waterford glass hadn't yet left the country when news was received of the Archbishop's death, b u t other gifts had already been presented to the Archbishop. "The carpet and the Waterford glass are for the they will be going out soon." President de Valera said t he Archbishop's name would live for ever in Irish history. The President and the Premier both sent 'messages of sympathy, and all over Ireland there have been tributes. Very Rev. Michael Hefferman, 0.S.A., who is President of the Kerrymen's Association in Dublin, told me the Angustinians had a special link with Melbourne. Its first Archbishop, he recalled, was an Augustinian named _Qoold, and he came from Cork; and, he added, there are many members of
the Order in Australia today. Archbishop Mannix, he told me, added honour to Ireland and to the Church, and his work for the Church could not be fully calculated until long after his death. Then there were the messages which Ireland received from Australia; it was obvious from those we saw in the papers, tributes from the Australian Prime Minister and other Australian leaders that the freeAustralian dom - loving people had taken the Archbishop to their hearts. It was clear nfrom the reports that reached us that, even if at times there were Australians who did not agree with the Archbishop, he symbolised at the same time something they cherislled; he was a symbol of integrity, courage and freedom, and it was obvious too, that Australia had gained in influence by "harbouring" this great man, now one of its most honoured names abroad. Some of the esteem in which the Archbishop was regarded abroad hs "rubbed off," as they say, on Australia's image, and through Archbishop Mannix rnany see Australia as all the more tolerant, wise and enlight-
rapidly and I tarried long." President de Valera recalled, in a broadcast tribute to him, that they both went to the same school; and recalled meetings with him in later years. One thing is certain; if the Archbishop had returned to us in the past few years for a farewell tour, the journey would have equalled the fabulous tour by President Kennedy; and for a long time it has been obvious that these two men were the two "emigrants" honoured most at home.
* THAT TURNOVER TAX The turnover tax-2A per cent on retail sales — has been with us since November 1, and the Opposition in Parliament have again tried to have it put out of commission by means of a "no. confidence" motion. Four Independents, however, voted with the Government, giving them a majority. Now there is a by-election pending in Cork, where the seat wa_s held by a Government deputy. Labour is taking the unprecedented step of moving
He is likely to oppose Labour's latest step as an "artificial" move to cr :ate a crisis. He argues that he country has been ma ang progress, with reduced -migration and continued in. dustrial expansion, and that a General Election could only provide, if it did not return his party, a combination of diverse groups. Mr. Dillon is asking the people to give his party, Fine Gael, a majority, and Labour has become rLally aggressive in its campaign against the the turnover tax. Mr. Dillon is committe.1 to end the turnover tax, but some of the Independ_mts who voted with the Go\ rilment have accused hit of not saying where, if no by turnover tax, he will r ise extra revenue, and they are also understood to have received assurances of increases in social benefits to offset any higher cost of living on necessitous people. All told, we are assured of an exciting and active winter in Irish political life, especially with James a llon as Leader of the Opposition.

illiard WORLD of SPORT 1 OPENING GAMES IN SUMMER TURF TOPICS COMPETITION SHOW SOME IMPROVEMENT
The opening set of fixtures in the Y.C.W. Summer competition, Basketball played last week at Perry Lakes, showed a fine standard of play in the senior grades which exceeded the high level reached in last year's competition. In the A-grade section, Cottesloe's tally almost approached a cricketing score while Bedford Park and Highgate had comforable wins. Brilliant is the only way to describe some of Highgate's forward moves against in their match Claremont, who did well to restrict Highgate's scoring to the extent that they did. Claremont seem assured of victories in the coming matches and should qualify for the finals. Shenton Park's display the highly-rated against East Victoria Park side was most impressive. Promoted this year to the top grade in the competition, they showed, by their fast t yle of play and determination, that they will be worthy members of the Agrade section. B GRADE Generally the standard of the teams in this section appears very even — Scarborough was the only team to win by a large margin. In Scarborough-Shenton the Park match both teams had a similar number of scoring opportunities in the first half but Scarborough finished off their moves with acshooting whereas curate Shenton Park seemed to lack any real system in their play close to the basket. In the second half Scarborough opened their play right up and raced away for a well earned victory. North Doubleview, Como, Highgate and Osborne Park all had wins and this section could provide some of the closest matches and interest in the competition during the season.

His Lordship directed his talk to the boys leaving Aquinas for the last time. He said that he hesitated to congratulate them in This reaching that. stage. might seem strange, but if those boys now leaying, return to Aquinas in 15 years time or in 30 years time faithful to the high ideals held up to them by the Brothers, then he would be the first to welcome them back and to congratulate them, and he knew the Brothers would welcome them back with open arms.
Six Parliamentary Members accepted invitations last Sunday to hear speakers from Parents & Friends Associations from Victoria Park, Bentley, Queen's Park, Clontarf, Castledare, Belmont and Redcliffe, and to address them on their personal attitude to the question of denominational schools and the claim for equality in education.

The Problem of the Reform of the Curia
EVERYMAN'S FAMILY
fil
DELAIDE'S ARCHBISHOP MATTHEW BEOVICH is staying during the Council at the hostel attached to the Lithuanian college of St. Casimir.
By Father JOHN C. KNOTT
ARCHBISHOP SIMMONDS, BISHOP O'COLLINS and BISHOP LYONS were at this same hostel, run by the German Order of St. Catherine nuns, before their
Life In Inner Space
return to Australia on the death of Archbishop Mannix. There are still ten other Council Fathers, including a Lithuanian bishop from America, at the hostel, which is usually filled with touristl.pilgrims. Each morning Dr. Beovich becomes one of those bishops in a bus that Romans see speeding to St. Peter's while they are headed for work. _. St. Casimir's lies just outside the city walls near St. John's Basilica, so daily he passes from the seat of the Bishop of Rome to St. Peter's, where bishops from all over the world are assembled.
Solid Piety THIS gathering of over two thousand bishops must impress anyone who witnesses it and not solely as a spectacle. Asked for his chief impression of the Council, Archbishop Beovich said that he was "impressed and inspired first and moremost by the solid piety of my brother Bishops." It is not demonstrative, but you will note it especially in St. Peter's where, in the hour before the Mass which begins each General Congregation, you will see the bishops in great numbers praying fervently before the altar of the Blessed Sacrament, and then at the altar where are the remains of Pius X. There and in the Mass that follows they are in union with their priests and people all over the world in praying for the General Council, And penance is not absent in these days in Rome, whether one considers the tough daily timetable, t h e unaccustomed food, or the absence of home amenities. The highlights of this second Council phase, in Archbishop Beovich's view, have been "the address of Pope Paul VI at the opening of the session on September 29; the Pope's address to the members of his Curia; the sermon preached by Cardinal Suenens at the Mass commemorating the election of John XXIII, on October 28—it was delivered in French, but translations were available in English and other languages before the function began. There was also the voting on the "Five Propositions" on October 30. They were worded very carefully and the vote, though not definitive, was taken to give an indication to the Theology Commission of the minds of the Fathers on the important questioned involved."
Difference WAS there a marked difference between this session and the first? "At the first session last year there was an air of tension," said
Archbishop Beovich. "This was due in part to the fact that all the bishops were novices so far as General Council were concerned. Now that the novitiate has ended, there is no feeling of tension. On the contrary, the deliberations are proceeding in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. They are proceeding at a slow pace, perhaps too slow a pace, but they are dealing, at the wish of Pope Paul, with the schema most important that will come before the Council — that concerning the Church and the Episcopate."
Anomalies ATTACKS on the Roman Curia often make the mistake of treating a varied organisation as it were monolithic. The defects of the Holy Office are usually attributed to the whole of the Curia. The attacks on the Holy Office usually have a tone of exasperation because those who criticise know only of cases within their own experience and the Holy Office itself will never discuss particular cases in public. At the U.S. Bishops' press panel, however, a number of the American experts, men such as Father Weigel, Father McManus and Father Haering, a council expert for the theological commission, cited sufficient cases to make it obvious that, the Holy Office procedure results in anomalies which it seems impossible to justify. One case was that of Father Yves Congar's "True and False Reform in the Church." The publisher, Cerf, was asked not to print a second edition of this work by a theologian who, Pope Paul said recently, has influenced him more than any other contemporary theologian. A similar case is that of the German theologian Karl Rahner, who came under Holy Office disapproval but was made a conciliar peritus by Pope John. At the beginning of November, Pope Paul received Rahner and praised hi4 work. Both these cases raise a question about the Holy Office's claim that it is act

ing in the name of the Holy Father. It is constituted to do this, but it is not clear in particular cases whether it is acting explicitly or by its general faculties. In other words, is the Pope's approval of its decisions merely formal on many occasions? If it is not, it is hard to understand the contradiction in the attitudes of Pope Paul and Pope John to men who have met the Holy Office's displeasure. The point is an important one because Cardinal Ottaviani of the Holy Office constantly meets any criticism of it in the Council by saying attacks on it are attacks on the Vicar of Christ. This is part of an attitude which sees the Council as opposed to, rather than in union with, the Pope, and the Holy Office's task as that of watching over the orthodoxy of the Council rather than participating in it.
Reorganisation IT ALSO raises doubts about the possibility of reform of the Holy Office for would not any suggested change be likewise a criticism of the Pope? One would expect the Holy Office to argue in this way and in fact a "qualificator" of the Holy Office, Monsignor Henry Cosgrove, said in a reporters' briefing that he was not aware of any proposals for change in the Holy Office. He also made play on the word "reform," saying that the Pope's call for reform of the Curia did not-really mean reform but reorganisation. If the Pope asks the Curia to reform itself and the Holy Office says he does not really mean reform; if the Council can only SUGGEST reforms to the Pope for the Curia is his body; if any criticism is taken as an attack on the Pope—there seems to be a short-circuit which can only be broken by the Pope imposing changes or a new body such as the proposed Senate of the Church, which might bypass people who will not make even the sensible adaptations needed for conservation.
Which Essay? THE Holy Office spokesmen always come up with the same inadequate answers when tackled. One of the ploys is to compare their work with that of book-reviewers, who concentrate on the work and not the author. There are a number of book-reviewers who would like to have the Holy Office's power over both works and authors, but none does. The comparison falls down once cases are cited such as that of a book of ten essays by different authors banned by the Holy Office because one of them was considered unorthodox. To this day the ten authors do not know which essay was considered objectionable, so all ten are tinder a cloud. Yet other cases cited in the U.S. Bishops' press panel were those of authors told not to republish unless errors were corrected, but the Holy Office would not respond to questions as to which errors should be corrected; of bishops who gave imprimaturs to books finding that the Holy Office had ordered their withdrawal; of pressure applied to prevent translation of theological books and books on the Council into Italian. As one of the experts said, many in the Holy Office believe that French and German theologians are heretics. Muzzling
of distinguished teachers, particularly in the field of Biblical studies, was also cited. During t h e discussion, Father Haering said that none of his books had been banned by the Holy Office— and a voice from nowhere in particular said, "Not yet!" This gave the professor of Moral Theology at the Accademia, Alfonsana, a chance to say that only those who repeated tired A formulas ran no risk. man would have to be infallible never to make a mistake, said Father Haering, but the attitude to writers such as de Lubac should be a friendly correcting of errors or suggestions formulation better for rather than a cautioning or disapproval. There are further criticisms of the Holy Office, such as that of the theologian who was told that he would only be allowed to write if he submitted his books for censorship in Rome before publication. He concluded it would be impossible to come to an arrangement with a publisher on these conditions and abandoned writing. They all point to the need for reform, for although Holy Office spokesmen seem sure of the justice of their methods, and there seems no reason to doubt their zeal, the secrecy which surrounds their work is certain to arouse suspicion. As Father Baume, of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, said, the canon or constitution of the Holy Office is not public and this is an unusual state of affairs "this side of the Iron Curtain." As Bishop Primeau, of Manchester, New Hampshire, said: "It is necessary not only to he honest—you must also have the appearance of honesty.-
IT IS ONLY A SHORT TIME AGO, comparatively, that the news of the successful Wight of the first Soviet space ship sent a thrill and a chill over the civilised world. Since then there have been so many capsules of such varied designs shot into outer space that the same wonder is no longer excited. A shot to the moon is now being prepared with an assurance of ultimate success, given the time and the money. One of the great problems here is the safety of the man or men who will attempt the trip. A great deal of research is going into preparing a proper environment for human life aboard the space ship.
N ATURE
IT seems that nature has already anticipated sciefice. An article by Dr. Edward C. Hughes, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists', points out that life within the uterus presents almost the same conditions as those of the astronaut in his space capsule. If we are to consider intrauterine life, we could say that we have all lived in a capsule for at least nine months of our lives. Amazingly enough, the capsule used for outer space is quite similar in shape to that used in inner space. The uterus, however, is of better design. It is elastic, contracting at all times, is capable of growing to accommodate the growing fetus. It has an escape hatch at the lower end which opens up during labour and allows the passenger to escape into another world where the atmospheric pressures are different and all dangers are greater. Special jackets have been designed for the astronaut, to protect him from the stress of vibration. Nature has also provided a protective jacket for the fetus by creating a fluid barrier, the amniotic fluid which protects it from the stress and strain of vibration, keeps it at a constant temperature, allowing it move around freely.
"Top Ten ONE of the difficulties technicians who are installing the transistor radiotranslation simultaneous system in the Council must overcome is that of "invasion" of the frequencies. It is difficult to avoid other programmes coming in on the little sets. One can speculate on which of the "top ten" would match best with which speakers. There would be a tug of temptation to listen to the music as an alternative to what one bishop calls "a purgatory for the ear drums." The Bishops of Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and some of the Pacific islands who meet each Thursday have decided to issue releases on the work done at the meetings. It is predicted that the third Council session will be convoked for early September next year as Pope Paul is believed to have assured Cardinal Gracias that the Council will not clash with the international Eucharistic Congress to be held in Bombay from November 28. In any case, the Council would be unwise to proceed too far into December as already a number of the bishops from equatorial countries are sick even though this is a mild autumn in Rome and some days it is a penance to wear a suitcoat. Cardinal Gilroy is among the ten new Papal nominees to the Commission for the Revision of Canon Law.
FIRST
This may create a sensation of weightlessness, perhaps, which has been a problem of men in outer space. Although we cannot say definitely that the intrauterine body is weightless, it may well have the same sensation as it flows around in the amniotic fluid, sometimes in one position and again in another.
O XYGEN == E =
SUPPLY
A COMMON PROBLEM for astronauts and fetus in utero is an adequate supply of oxygen—neither the astronaut nor the growing fetus can live long without it. The astronaut gets his oxygen through a special face mask, the baby from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta. The fetal heart is the pump which circulates the blood from the fetus to the placenta. To aid in this circulation, muscle fibres of the placenta also contract simultaneously with the fetal heart and this helps to keep the blood in constant motion. Dr. Hughes points out that each fetus lives in a state of hypoxia—as if the fetus were living in an enviroment comparable to 20,000 to 35,000 feet above sea level. He adds that the fetus can live because it has more red blood cells when born than the adult, thus carrying more oxygen to the fetus. Dr. Hughes warns that hypoxia is a common danger to unborn babies, which may result in cerebral palsy after the baby is born. He warns that not enough mothers are seeking prenatal care early in order to protect themselves and their babies from such dangers. He concludes that efforts to solve the problems of reproduction must continue until even the present low rates of infant and maternal mortality are lowered to the point of non-existence.

.. RADIO REPLIES . Answer To Birth Control
BIBLE MORALS, MELBOURNE, asks: As birth prevention and or?1 contraceptive pills have been much discussed lately, do you not think that many vital facts have been overlooked by all concerned? R.: Not by all concerned. I cannot, of course, answer for everybody. Some interterested in the subject may have overlooked vital facts. But even these people would not have overlooked any vital facts in ignoring the basic ideas prompting your questions, which are erroneous whether from an historical, or a biblical, or an ethical point of view. REASONS FOR CATHOLIC BAN Q.: Is it not true that, in order to justify her ban on contraceptives, the Catholic Church has to delve deep into the Old Testament? R.: No. The "Encyclopaedia Britannica," in its article entitled "Birth Control," sets out the reasons given by Cardinal Bourne, of Westminster, London. He does not so much as mention the Old Testament. He says that the prohibition of contraceptive birth control is in accordance with the constant and universal tradition of the Catholic Church and has been repeatedly proclaimed in authoritative declarations by the Holy See. If reasons are wanted for this stand, he says, they are to be found in a principle of natural morality which no human authority can change, nor from it give any dispensation. The principle is that man is morally obliged to act in accordance with the laws of his very being, exercising his faculties according to the purposes obviously intended by nature itself. Now sex differences and the employment of them are primarily intended for the procreation of children, and the evil of contraceptive birth prevention consists in exercising the act intended for generation while deliberately and positively frustrating its purpose. Contraceptive birth prevention is wrong therefore, and with an initial fundamental wrongness, antecedent to any ecclesiastical law; and the reason for the condemnation of it "must be sought primarily, directly, objectively and intrinsically" in the action itself. That's all. AsIhave said, he makes no mention of the Old Testament.
JEWISH FOOD LAWS J.W., SYDNEY.—IT IS SAID THAT THE JEWISH FOOD LAWS, WHETHER THEY WERE CEREMONIAL OR MORAL, H A VE ALL BEEN ABOLISHED.
R
THEY were certainly ceremonial; that is, • they were not based on the idea that the •• eating of certain foods was sinful in itself. They were to remind the Jews that they were a people apart from the pagan nations around them and called to be -holy to the Lord."
The dietary laws impressed on the Jews that they were "different" from other people. To violate them left a Jew ritually defiled before God. That the eating of forbidden foods was not necessarily immoral or sinful in itself is evident from the fact that ceremonial defilement before God could be contracted independently of a person's free will and even by an accidental contact with ritually "unclean" persons or "unclean" things. That would not affect one's interior state of soul in God's sight, but would externally separate one from the "holy community" until ritually purified. Q.: How can it be that animals and birds that were unclean for human cosumption in Old Testament t imes are not unclean now? R.: Because the flesh of animals and birds declared to be unclean in the Old Testament was not unclean in itself but only ritually unclean according to the Mosaic Law—a Law which the New Testament abolished. Thus, in Mark 7:19, as the "New English Bible" translates it, Christ said: "Do you not see that nothing that goes from outside into a man can defile him?" And St. Mark adds: "Thus He declared all foods clean." In the Acts of the Apostles, 10:10-15, St. Peter was given a vision of both clean and unclean foods and told to eat. He replied: "I never did eat anything that is common and unclean," and was told: "That which God has cleansed (i.e. hath declared to be no longer unclean in the New Law), do not thou call common." In 1 Tim. 4:3, St. Paul condemns the forbidding of meats to those who have received the truth of the gospel, saying: "For every creature of God is good and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving." The Mosaic Law given to the Jews was abrogated.
Q.: Human bodies have not_changed noticeably since those times. R.: That has nothing to do with the matter. You are working on the wrong lines when you think the foods forbidden as ritually unclean were forbidden because in themselves they were unfit for human consumption. For example, all sea-foods were forbidden as "unclean" except fish with fins and scales. Even today, an Orthodox Jew who observes the Mosaic Law strictly, will not eat leatherjackets because they have no scales, nor prawns, nor crayfish or crabs; yet these are not "unfit for human consumption" in themselves. The Jewish dietary laws were religious, not health laws, keeping the Jews conscious of their mission, dedication to God, and segregation from pagan peoples around them. The forbidden foods did not make them physically ill but left ceremonially defiled and forbidden to approach God by entering into the courts of the Tabernacle or Temple until ritually cleansed.
By the
Rev. Dr. Rumble M.S.C.
Q.: Please see Leviticus, chapter 11. R.: I have read that chapter. But perhaps you would find more impressive than my interpretation of it that of the Jewish Rabbi Brasch in his recently published book, "The Star of David." There he says, on page 66, we read in Leviticus "of the introduction of the Day of Atonement and of the dietary laws," and that "a religious basis alone can assure the national welfare." On page 11, he had written: "The conscientious observance of dietary laws never permitted the Jews to forget God's presence." On page 185, he added: "Most of the laws were ordained as God's will and therefore needed no further explanation;" and, on page 188, that these laws "acted as a He separating factor between Jew and Gentile." explains that the purpose of them was not so much to keep Jews aloof as to emphasise their call by God to a special religious mission. AsIhave earlier explained in the Christian Dispensation, with the abrogation of the Mosaic Law, all these Levitical ceremonial or ritual regulations have lapsed. Christians accept the admonition to St. Peter: Do not call unclean what God Himself hath cleansed: and St. Mark's words that Christ "declared all foods clean."

Dispute On Greatest Book Ever -Written LONDON — Two Catholic Scripture scholars have cli.sputed a Scottish Presbyterian minister's claim of having proved with o computer that St. Paul wrote only five of the 14 epistles attributed to him. The Rev, Andrew Q. Morton ,of Culross, Scotland, a mathematician as well as a minister of the Church of Scotland, made the claim in an article in the London Observer of November 3. The article was based on a seven-year study. Father J. H. Crehan, S.J., a leading British Scripture scholar, found fault with the study's scientific method. Both he and another priest, Monsignor John M. J. Barton, who is in charge of London's Chapel of St. Peter and St. Edward and is senior non-episcopal consultor to the Pontifical Biblical Commission, said that St. Paul probably dictated his letters to secretaries. which would account for differences in style. "NO ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY" Mr. Morton said that his discovery "has cut the ground from under any notion of absolute religious authority," and he concluded that "the authority of the Church as the interpreter of the Bible must go." He made his study with the late G. H. C. McGregor, a former professor of theology and Biblical criticism at Glasgow University. With the help of a computer, they tested the original Greek of the epistles by examining sentence length, word pattern and the frequency of common Greek words. They concluded that St. Paul wrote only Romans, First a n d Second Corinthians, Galatians a n d Philemon. The other nine, they said, were the work of at least five others.
COMPUTER Father Crehan said that a Swedish scholar recently used a computer to settle the problem of who wrote "Letters of Junius," political diatribes by an 18th-century author whose identity was unknown, by comparing "Junius" with other works of the suspected author for quirks of style. Father Crehan said that in the study of the epistles, "seven tests were devised, not based on tricks of style but on more mechanical considerations such as length of sentence, use of the word 'and,' of pronouns and of the verb 'to be.' "Mr. Morton does not disclose any details of the pattern of frequencies that he was able to establish, but contents himself at this point with a flat assertion. What he does allow to appear does not inspire confidence. "In the 'Junius' experiment, some sixty contemporary authors were examined, all of whom wrote
TOO DIVERSE "Mr. Morton has among his authors (who number no more than 12) men like Isocrates and Aristotle who lived three centuries before St. Paul and who wrote on vastly different matters. He has processed no more than 600,000 words and he has used no more than seven tests." SECRETARY "St. Paul," he added, "wrote his letters in what was not his native language and wrote them over the space of 20 years, probably by dictation to a scribe or secretary." Monsignor Barton said it has long been accepted that St. Paul used stenographers and that there is no reason why "ghost" writers should not have put his ideas into their own words. He said that this would explain changes in style.

DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS, Well here we are practically at the end of November and that means that e xaminations are on the way again. I suppose that most of you are hard at it doing revision work and catching up on some things that you might be weak on. I will make sure that I remember you all in my prayers. The idea of praying for success in e xaminations is not new. We could easily be reminded that we ought to do two things, pray as if everything depend on God and work as if everything depended on ourselves. This could well be our motto for this time of the year. Letters were received this week f rom Peter Stryk — Thanks for the joke Peter I will use it. Also from Betty Stewart — Thanks Betty the idea in the letter was so good that I decided to include it in the page. Good on you "the six fourtH graders" I t looks as if my request about the toys for Christmas was a bit soon. The man who did all the collecting and wrapping has gone away and so there will be no toy collection this year.

"Good On You Fourth Graders"
Please mark your reply "Dept. 7"
4 Drumond St., Bedford Park.
Dear Brother Juniper,— Last Saturday about six of the fourth graders from C.B.C., Bedford, decided to have a fete for the Missions. Gregory Wall was the president of the club, so they decided it would take place in Mrs. Wall's back garden on November 9. Mr. Wall who is a glass manufacturer, brought home 36 little mirrors which on the day of the fete had combs and handkerchiefs in them. The boys' mothers made cakes and sweets, which were sold on stalls and also as afternoon teas. The boys were thrilled with the money they made which totalled up to £7, a very good sum for such a small fete. My brother, Richard, who is now one of the fourth graders, at C.B.C. Bedford, changed from St. Peters at the beginning of the year but hasn't written to tell
you as he says he doesn't know what to write. Yours sincerely, BETTY STEWART.
