THE South African Bishops have spoken out against their country's policy of apartheid strict racial segregationdeclaring that the natural right of free association among men is unassailable and connot be either diminished or token away on racial grounds "
The Bishops spoke last week in their first joint pastoral on human relations since 1962 The decision to speak was taken at a plenary conference of the episcopate in Pretoria attended by 31 Bishops Archbishop Owen MeCann of Cape Town presided.
The Bishops said they thought their meeting "an appropriate occasion to mtroduce the people of southern Africa to one of the most timely and topical of the Ecumenical Council decrees, the Constitution on the Church in the Modern World and to draw attention to certain chapters of particular significance to South Africa and its special problems"
The Bishops said they offered their message in "a spirit of humility and service, solidarity and compassion" And they added, "if there should be any to whom this message gives offence or causes sorrow, we beg forgiveness of them Yet with St Paul we must remind them that they are called upon to share with us the tribulations of the Gospel message If all is not well with us let us join forces Christian and non-Christian to face with common honesty and cou rage the common evil"
The letter continued:
"Man by his very nature must have the company of his fellow men Only through constant commerce with them through brotherly diaHogue and through the give and take of social routine are his talents sharpened and his personality developed to fit him for his destinv in time and eternity
UNASSAILABLE
'This social exchange knows ofno impediment of colour, creed or class On the contrary, where Inequalities of educaion economic condi'ion and the rest close ntercommunion, it becomes all the more necessary and all the more fruitful
"The natural right of free association among men is unassailable and cannot be either dimin shedor taken away on racial grounds n '
pretext that such association will damage the common good Indeed, the very opposite is true It is theprohibition of easy intercommunion among all the people of the State which offends against common good"
Quoting the Second Vatican Council on the dignity proper to the human person, the Bishops pointed out the rights following on from this 'However, coming now from the supreme assembly of the Catholie Church, we find it necessary to reiterate that it is a grave violation of the dignity of the human person to prevent anyone on grounds of race or nationality from choosing his own mode of living, to restrict his choice of employment, his right of free movement, his place of residence, his free establishment of a family
LEGAL MEANS
'If any laws make the exercise of these rights unnecessarily difficult or almost impossible all legal means should be used to have them changed It may be necessary at times to make changes in the social order gradually in the interests of public order and for the good of the entire people and not merely of a section The Vatican Council wisely states that when the exercise of rights is temporarily curtailed on behalf of the common good, it should be restored as quickly as possible
'We appreciate and praise all that has been done and now is being done to raise the standard of living of less developed groups in South Africa particularly in the fields of housing education health and social welfare Striking progress has been made at great expense in all these spheres over the past few years Much, however remains for us all to do for the betterment of the let of the unskilled worker whose wage generally is far below that necessary or the prop mainten ance of a family « C '
stress on the reverence for man Everyone must consider his neighbour without exception as another self With this in view the Council condemns e very thing which offends against the dignity of the human person, such as sub-human living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment deportation slavery, prostitution, and the selling of wo- i men and children and disgraceful working conditions where men are treated as mere tools for profit rather than as free and responsible persons
CRUCIAL
With respect to the fundamental rights of the person, every type of discrimination whether social or cultural. whether based on sex, race, colour, social condition, language or religion, is to be overcome and eradicated as contraryto God s intent
"For in truth it must still be regretted that fundamental personal rights are not yet being universally honoured The Council. rightly does not unduly stress racial or colour discrimination over other forms It is neithe more nor less serious than the rest
"But in racially pl ralistie countries like South Africa racial prejudice takes on crucial prominence
'It is for this reason that this plenary session finds it necessary to reiterate the vigorous condernnation of the Vatican Council Discrim1nation is to be eradicated as contrarv to God's intent For the Christian there is one Creator one human race, one Redeemer' This is the groundwork of the Christian faith Without it redemption can have no meaning
"In the face of this unity the Christian conscience requires in present circumstances a re-examination of the whole question of racial relationships with a view to a just solution of the problem through the co-operation of all Christian communities ad p sn "

Vocations
Sought
A SPECIAL campaign aimed at fostering vocations has bee n launched in the Archdiocese
Secular priests and Religious are systematically covering schools in the Archdiocese lecturing and answering enquiries concerning vo cations to the priesthood and religious life
To assist in this cam-
paign, the Administrator of St Mary's Cathedral, Monsignor J Hogan has reserved the main intention of the usual weeklv novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal to this intention for the next nine Wednesdays The idea he said was for a family effort commencing on Wednesday, August 10 and continuingfor nine Wednesdays in an intensive prayer for an increase in vocations
Processions Banned
NCRTHERN IRELAND'S Government has announced a ban on all public processions
The three-month ban, an effort to halt the religious rioting sporadically rocking Belfast, followed a week of violence
A Cabinet statement said that all public processions within 15 miles of Belfast's Town Ha!l are prohibited, unless they are approved first by the police Any gathering of three or more people thought likely to break the peace will be considered a procession
Just before the Government ban was announced, police had used clubs and high-pressure hoses to break up a riot outside a Belfast gaol
The rioters were supporters of the Rev Ian Paisley ecently convicted leader of Northern Ireland's Free Presbyterian Church, an anti ecumenl extremist group

[_toniiy_]NEADRS'0PI.... IMPRESSIONS CORRECTED
REALISM
WHEN the time of decision was reachedfortheAustralianLabor Party in last weekend's special Federal Conference, all fairminded Australians would have been glad that a realistic attitude had been adopted I
Even if, according to news reports and correspondentscommentingontheconference, examples were cited that motions were put and misunderstood, that tactics played a great role in the decision, and that the eventual outcome was more than even the pro-education justice proponents hoped for, the decision is there
The Australian Labor Party has an open mandate to offer unlimited "State aid to church schools
At last, this action has brought to an end the game of political football whichhad burdened Australia in its education programme All political parties, Australian Labor Party, Country Party Democratic Labor Party and Liberal Party now can offer the same justice
The Labor Party has removed the barrier as yet it has not outlined what the aid will be
The coming election can be fought on the wider issues and not on what has been considered a vote-catching concession, or an emotion-charged issue
Such things as foreign policy, defence, social services and other matters of national importance can and should receive the emphasis due to them
It has taken many years, much heartache, bitter wrangling and some fanning of the dying flames of bigotry but the question is now open for sensible consideration of education of all children
We now wait for the outline of how the elected government, or one proposing itself to the people, will fulfil its responsibility to all parents with justice and the aim ofa good education to all Australian citizens of the future
SMany non-Catholics areknownto makedivers remarks about the alleged wealth of the Church as if her sole concern to amass a fortune for herself And some Catholics ,too, sad to say though well able to afford the full share of their contribution demanded by duty, either cut it down or do not subscribe at all because of the misguided impression that-as said to be expressed in their own words-"The Church is well off rich"
This impression needs to be corrected not only for the enlightenment of of the ill-informed, but also that it may induce a little more sober thinking for a better disposition towards a muchmalignedChurch
Quite unaware of the great material needs of the Church because of the immense activities of her colossal mission a few of the more common remarks one keeps hearing might be set down and met with this:
(D The clergy," it is said, "are all for moneymaking" Thepoor priest, a man who has given up everything to dedicate his life to the service of God; a man who can call nothing his very own in this world-can anyone point out a single priest who retired after making his pile?
(2) "The Pope " it is said, "lives in a palace" The Vatican is the only earthly palace of God in the eternal city of Rome, and the Pope is His
humble footman in it He does not live in all the rooms He is humble, austere and ascetic Person ally he needs neither palace nor pomp A palace is necessary to house the administration of a great world-wide society counting nearly 600 millions As to the outward ceremonial and tokens of respect lavished on the Pope these are what we need to do as a mark of reverence due to the One he represents It is human nature Did not Jesus praise the woman who anointed His feet with a commodity of great price? It was Judas who objected to that being done to Him (3) It is said: "There is enough money in the Vatican to feed the world" Nearly 600 million Catholics in the world today and it does not end there Everywhere the number is increasing rapidly The Church is self-supporting and look what she has to cater for Thousands of Catholic institutions all over the world, the orphanages, the schools and colleges, the seminaries; the maintenance of thousands of bishops and tens of thousands of priests; the vast field of mission work in far-off lands And whileCatholicsareonthe increase all this must needs be ncreased too, to say nothing of the building of more and more churches Then there is the enormous charities dispensesd to thousands of refugees and the rest No, sir, there s no idle
Pope And
SIR Your issue of July 28 has a front-page article headed "Pope Paul Appals For Safety Of Airmen," the airmen being, of course, the captured pilots being held in North Vietnam The ar ticle also mentions North Vietnamese Ambassador Tran Tu Binh as saying that captured pilots will h he tfie(das \War er]tlfa!s since his Government does not consider them prisoners of war under the terms of the Geneva Convention
The US Government claims that the pilots are war prisoners as the U S has signed the Geneva Convention On the other hand, Professor Bernard Fall, who claims a good knowledge of Vietnamese affairs, states that when North Vietnam signed the Geneva Convention in 1957, it added a reservation to the effect that prisoners of war could still be tried and convicted of war crimes in accordance with principles laid down for the Nuremberg trials This caused me to turn up the London Agreement of August 8, 1945 which authorises the "hang the loser" principle The London Agreement authorises the Charter of the Interna tional Military Tribunal andArticle 8 of this Charter reads as follows: The fact that the defendant acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior, shall not freehimofresponsibility, but may be considered in mitigation of punishment if the Tribunal deter-
Peace
mines that justice so requires"
Whether North Vietnam can set up a Nurem berg type court, I do not know, as power to set up such courts is given to any nation joining UNO I cannot find any trace of North Vietnam as a UNO member, although South Vietnam is shown as a member The reason I have broughht this up is to show how evil perpetrated on our side has led to our evil principles being used against us Your report states that Pope Paul has asked the North Vietnamese to give the US prisoners "safety and the treatment provided for by international norms" The question now arises as to what is an international rorm Is it to be the gospel of hatred of Nuremberg, or is it to be the ethical Geneva Convention? Is the vindictiveness of Roosevelt and Churchillnow to rebound on to conscripted victims now being humiliated and degraded in public in North Vietnam? It does appear to me that Pope Paul has taken on one of his toughest assignments and it may be that a little encouragement to him might not be amiss I thinkitwouid be nice if a message from this State was sent to the Pope, telling him that people in this State were watching his efforts with compassion and wishing him success in an operationbedevilledwithevery obstacle

Catholics In Italy Dispensed From Friday Abstinence
THE Italian Bishops have dispensed Catholics in Italy from the universal law of Friday abstinence from meat except during the season of Lent.
In its place they recommend the substitution of other penitential acts which, nevertheless, left to the free choice of the individual. Such acts could be abstinence from specially favoured or costly foods, one of the spiritual or corporal works of mercy, the reading of a selection from sacred scripture, a pious exercise preferably in the form of family prayer, greater acceptance in carrying daily crosses, giving up a show or amusement, or other acts of mortification"
The rest of the prescriptions of the Church's recently changed universal law of fast and abstinence as set forth in the Papal document "Paenitemini," published last February, remain unaltered, including the obligation of both fast and abstinence on Ash Wednes-
day and Good Friday and The norms become efabstinence on all Fridays fective on August 23 of Lent The document noted The alteration in the that if those bound by universal norms was ap- the law of fast on Ash proved by the Italian Wednesday and Good FriEpiscopal Conference day (those from 21 to 59 during its general as- years of age) who "find sembly from June 21 to themselves in a condition 23 and then submitted to of serious difficulty with Pope Paul VI for appro- regard to the fulfilment val in his capacity as of the law are bound on Primate of Italy The offi- these days to substitute cial text was printed in "L'Osservatore Romano" some other forms ofpenion July 23 tence."

The text of the prayer of Eugene Cardinal Tisserant published on July 19 reads as follows:
"O Lord, through the merits and example of John XXIII who was born poor lived poor and died in extreme poverty give us a love for serene and blessed poverty for a humble and diligent life of labour, a consuming desire for heavenly goods, an open mind and a soul sensitive to all the needs of the Church, a simple spirit which sees the good and forgets the evil Lord, Who said the lowly will be exalted' deign to glorify Pope John even on this earth, to fulfil all the intentions he had for the Church and mankind, and grant us through his intercession the favour we ask You Amen"

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen Discusses . SEX REVOLUTION (Cont.)
IN the last article, we brought out the fact that the so-called "Sex Revolution" is really a cultural revolution and an escape fromthe frustrations and emptiness and mean-
inglessness of life
Not knowing why one is here or where one is going, some seek to escape from the so-called culture of our time with its atomic bomb its mass civilisation its hangovers, psychoses and neuroses, through something primal, basic, elemental and primitive It is a curious twist of human nature that it should fill up the emptiness of the soul with the husks of flesh
Sex is not wanted primarily; something else is wanted, and sex is the substitute for that other thing It is not the other person who is wanted, but some fleeting seconds of escape, thanks to the other person
THIS relation between frusstration and sex madness was manifested in economic depressions and political revolutions It is a way out-a search for security As Georgina H. Seward put it: "People in our competitive individualised society have an exorbitant need of affection and reassurance It is this need for human response rather than genuine sexual desire which
leads them into the tense clutching types of relationship so prevalent among us Sexual possession of another somehow assures an individual and bulwarks his ego defences, taking the place of a partnership based on mutual love"
Why is sex so difficult to talk about, and why does not sex education completely solve the problem?
The argument for giving youngsters sex education is that it will keep them from harm It is pleaded: If you know the effects of typhoid fever and you saw a quarantine sign on a house, would you not stay away from that house? Well youngsters will avoid dangers and pitfalls of sex once they are told about them
The analogy is not sound First of all no one has a typhoid attraction, but everyone has a sex attraction No one is inclined to break down the door and invade the privacy of such a diseased person; but the same cannot be said of the erotic appeite
URTHERMORE, sex is not digestion or any other body-function It rightly is called a mystery And what is a mystery? A
THE big problems Pope Paul faces are not the only ones, nor the most fastidious
Two recent incidents give some ideas of the pressures on the Pontiff
The diplomats accredited lo thie io]pee have Deseiged the Secretariat of State with requests for the bestowal of the Supreme Order of Christ the Order of the Golden Spur, the Grand Collar of the Order of Pius IX or any other award on the heads of the States they represent
Evidently the mission of some of the diplomats accredited to the Vatican is to obtain as exalted an award as possible for their head of State A Golden Spur would ensure a Roman sinecure for many years
The requests became so time-consuming and, at times, embarrassing that Pope Paul decided to issue an explanation of the circumstances in which awards would be made
TOOK THE HINT
pOPE PAUL might have imagined that he had finished with that question when his statement on the matter went to "L'Osservatore Romano," but when he saw the page proofs he found that it had been treated as a m ajo r pronouncement and was surmounted by an imposing title He scribbled a comment What solemnity!" in the margin and "L'Osservatore Romano" took the hint
The second incident concerns the Orsini family which together with another Roman family, the Colonna, have been Prince Assistants at the Papal Throne since Pope Paul III conferred this honour on them in 1540 The assistants to the throne stand beside the
mystery is something which has two sides-one that is known and another that is unknown One is visible and the other invisible; one physiological the other spiritual
The physical visible side of the mystery is that every person is either male or female The spiritual, invisible side is that this difference in sexes also implies love
If the biological fact of eating and the biological fact of mating are the same, whyis that we do not mind seeing people eat in public, but we shrink from seeing love-making in public? It is because love-making is something reserved by one person for another, and involves secret communication To expose the personal to the public the secret to the vulgus" or crowd is to render it vulgar"
To take that which is reserved for the sanctuary of human life and to placard it at the crossroads of the world, is to profane the sacred
HEREIN lies the essence of the obscene-the divorce of sex and love, the physiological from the spiritual the biological from the mysterious, the common from the personal Because of this double element, parents have difficulty in communicating a true knowledge of sex to their children; this difficulty is inherent in all sex education

N
1946 he met Marchioness Franca Bonaccorsi, member of an ancient Venetianfamily Theymarried the same year and four years later Monsignor Montini on behalf of Pius XII, told Don Filippo that he could take his father's place as Prince Assistant.
Don Filippo filled the honorary post until 1957 when he met the English actress Belinda Lee It was the period of "la dolce vita," and Don Filippo had an affair with the actress which hit world headlines when she, in an attempt to make him break from his family and his Vatican post, took an overdose of sleeping tablets and finished in hospital while he cut his wrists and finished in a pyschiatric clinic His wife minimised the

relationship between Belinda Lee and her husband as the first news of it appeared, but whenthe scandal became too clamorous she cut off all links with him
It is not the first time that an outsider has adopted similar tactics to save a noble Roman family
Don Filippo attempted a reconciliation with his wife, but then for a period took up with a series of starlets avid for publicity
He has now dropped out of the gossip columns and has written of himself as a "repentant sinner" The elder of his two boys, Domenico, has just reached 18, the age of maturity as far as the Vatican is concerned
The Orsinis gave an afternoon tea party for the Roman nobility to mark Domenico's birthday and announced that his grandfather, Don Virginio, had written to the Pope to inform him that Domenico was the "new representativeof the family in the Vatican."

What is communicated is only the scientific the physical, the corporal. But what cannot be communicated to children is how this common fact is hidden in love, and how it is used to express love in those deeper moments when words fail; sex is then a breath in the atmosphere of an abiding love and a lifelong bond in which soul communicates with soul as well as body with body

RICH
HISTORY
NOTHING would please Don Alessandro more than to have the title as well as the function, of Prince Assistant to the Throne The Orsinis have a rich history there were five Orsini Popes, from Paul I, elected in 757, to Benedict XIII elected in 1724, and there have been countless Orsini cardinals
The Torlonia have not much history, but are decidedly rich The founder of the dynasty was born poor in Siena in 1754 but died rich in Rome, where
he first worked as a guide, in 1828 His son Alessandro added to the family fortunes while exercising a monopoly over salt and tobacca in the Papal State TheTorloniaareprinces of Fucino, the povertystricken area memorably described in Ignazio Silone's "Fontamara" Pope Paul can decide on Orsini, Torlonia, or neither The Papacy, from is own experience is inclined to tolerate human weakness while insisting on the continuity of a position The possibility of shortcomings in office are increasesd in a hereditary dynasty, but if the Pope intends to maintain assistants to the throne, an Orsini will probably reappear on his right to matchtheirhistoricrival the Colonna, on the left. It is one of the questions Pope Paul will face at Castelgandolfo, though hardly the weightiest
All HAVE VOCATION FOR
CHRISTIAN WITNESS
WHAT gives the Second Vatican Council a unique character of its own, Pope Paul YI told a weekly general audience, is its insistence on the vocation of all the faithful to bear witness toChrist
The fundamental notion on which the entire doctrine concerning the Church is based," he said, "is the notion of continuation The Church is the extension and prolongation of the Gospel It carries Christ through time, through centuries, through history, and advances towards the final eschatological meeting with Christ in His glory"
This he called the Church's "vocation" and said that the Council recognised the extension of this vocation to all the faithful, and indeed their obligation to spread and defend the Faith both by word andby deed as true witnesses of Christ'" (Lumen Gentium 11)

The Church In India Under Ghandi's Rule

For this school of thought, the Indian Government is just another name for a Hindu government
There is someting to be said for this viewpoint
On the debit side, signs of lingering suspicion against Christians often erupt with more heat than light especially in Central India The Jan Sangh Party, the militant arm of Hinduism, is sworn to drive out the foreign missionaries from India
But on the credit side
India continues as a political democracy and a secular State This secularism by all tokens will continue under Indira Gandhi and her immediate successor, whoever that may be and whenever that occurs
The last official census had placed the Christian population at 107 millions, or 244 per cent of the total 439 million peopie Of this the Muslims are nearly 47 millions, about 10 per cent Then come the Sikhs with nearly eight milion, Buddhist with three million and Jains with another

Stairway Discovered
A stairway consisting of 92 steps dating from the filth century has been excavated in the Roman catacombs
Announcing the discovery, made by the Pontifical Commission on Sacred Archaeology during a 12-month excavation campaign, "L'Osservatore Romano" said it was the longest stairway yet discovered in these catacombs
The steps, partly of brick and partly of tufa stone, was found in an excellent state of preservation except for the first seven, which had been repaired, L'Osservatore" said Archaeologists date their construction at about 450 AD A unique feature of the stairway is that it follows an irregular curvingpath Archaeologist suggest this is so because "the builders were anxious to keep on private property without infringing on the subsoil of the nearby road, of which traces have been found," "L'Osservatore Romano" said The commission removed 487 cubic feet of earth from the region of the "Via Ardeatina" between the catacombs of St Callixtus and those of St Domatilla during its excavations, and cleared undergrond galleries extending over 200 feet, ts«sen..f'Sid the newspaper

China's Youth In Cultural Revolution
By GERMAINE SWAIN in Hong Kong
JUVENILES aged nine to 14more than five thousand of them in the Changsha munici, pality of Hunan provinceheld a meeting to "exchange their experiences in the study of Mao Tse-tung's works," according to a report from New China News Agency
Describing them as primary school childrenall "activists" in the creative study and application of Mao's works and in the Proletarian Cul tural Revolution, the dispatch states their parents 5 were workers, poor peasants and "revolutionary cadres"
One 12-year-old girl who had formed a "study team, testified: "After comparing the old society with the new, I began to love the party and Chairman Mao's works ardently"
A 14-year-old boy related that he had rescued three soldiers of the People's Liberation Army from being drowned on a stormy day-and gave all credit for this deed to "successful application of Mao's works"
And the son of a poor peasant claimed he had written more than fifty essays on the study of Mao's works
Four sentences have become the "operational slogans" of most juveniles in Changsha, accord-. ing to the Chinese news agency They are: "Study Chairman Mao's Works," "Listen to Chairman Mao's Works," "Work According to Chairman Mao's Instructions" and Become A Good Child Of Chairman Mao"

THAT TIES
TOWARDS THE FUTURE
ly FATHEI} L. MeHUGH
THIS column carried a parting message last week from Monsignor John C Kncdt, who has been the Director of the Family Life Bureau and weekly author of "Everyman's Family" for the past five years
IN summing up his reflections on the past five years in Washington DC, and on the 15 that preceded in the Archdiocese of Hartford, he displayed a characteristic modesty
CONTRIBUTION
MONSIGNOR KNOTTS contribution to the Family Apostolate was far more extensive than he acceded to The Cana movement began with a sense of con-
cern and dedication on the part of a small number of priests some twenty years ago They represented about ten dioceses across the United States, and were among the 'new breed" of the time
Monsignor Knott was one of this original group and he helped greatly in spreading the Cana movement throughout America He was supported by his own personal talents and experience, and the camaraderie of the other priests and couples who comprised the original group
Bishop Walter Curtis, Episcopal Adviser of the Family Life Bureau, acknowledged the contribution that Monsignor Knott has made and expressed the gratitude of the American Bishops As Bishop Curtis said: "Monsignor Knott has occupied a difficult position during one of the most critical times in its history His loyalty and courage speak for his sense of dedication" In paying well-deserved tribute
to Monsignor Knott the tribute goes also to his friends and cooperators who have helped and encouraged him in his work.
The one important point that is easily overlooked is that the diocesan priest always looks forward with anticipation to the day when he will be pastor of a parish Involvement and competence in certain specialised areas are necessary for the Church in today's world but it is in the pastoral responsibility that the priest comes to know, by his own experience, the concern of Christ for His people
Monsignor Knott looked forward with enthusiasm to this new and long-awaited responsibility, and he will, I am sure, shoulder it well
NEW
SERIES
WITH this column, then, we begin a new series on marriage and family life We have chosen the title "Ties That Bind" because it seems to sum up the inner life of the family members and the responsibility of the family to the world
The modern family has been described somewhat coldly as the nuclear family or the isolated family
The impression is that each family is under constant threat from hidden destructive forces in our society There is probably some little truth to all this, but under closer scrutiny one

This mixed working group was established with the approval of the Holy See on July 7, 1965, in a letter from Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, Papal Secretary of State and of the executive commit-
Such is the substance of the published report, which recommends the establishment of the study commissions and suggests that they be composed of seven members each who would receive full assistance from their respective church bodies
It also recommends thatdialoguebetweenthe two churches "be encouraged or established, despite local or historical obstacles This dialogue is to engage authorised representatives of the churches and be held at different levels
These groups should present to the churches the possibility not only of entering into earnest discussions on theological themes, but also of clarifying misunderstandings and causes of friction"
The report further recommends that on advice from the respective church staffs involved in this dialogue, the churches give "authorisation for joint special consultations dealing with problems of common interest.
"We pray," the report continued, that the churches may give effica cious witness to a world in which so many feel incapable of believing in the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ or even of accepting the existence of a personal and living God
"The two delegations propose to their respec tive authorities that the results of the conversations which are taking place between the Catholic Church and the World Lutheran Federation not be made public until mutual agreement is reached to do so

Commenting in L'Osservatore Romano on the report published in French in the same issue, Bishop Willebrands said:
"The great theological and pastoral problems which have divided the two churches since the Reformation are still with us But the manner in which they are posed spirit and method of dealing with them are far different from those of the past
"For centuries we have lived at such a distance from each other that it was very difficult even for the mostopen-minded theologians to avoid false interpretations and reciprocal misunderstandings The only way to overcome this difficulty is personal encounter, direct dialogue Thanks be to God, this encounter has become a reality
"In addition, classical problems appear today in a completely new context the development of

The daily newspaper and 11 pm news roundup have made "our own backyard a little bigger and the sames sisters who shared a bedroom during young maidenhood communicate better via the long-distance phone routes than ever before
WITH HOPE AND J0¥
THESE little things, and hundreds more, should help us look at today's family with hope and joy, to borrow a phrase from Vatican II For the family is truly a school of deeper humanity and all human relationships are traceable to the individual's position in his own family, and in a wider spectrum in the family of man We hope each week to look at these human relationships, and the people married and single, who share them For it is only in understanding fully the ties that bind all men together, the ties of truth, justice and love, that we will know and experience the oneness that exists between God and His people
FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT
The Bishop said: "This proposal was communicated to the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity by Dr Kurt Schmidt-Clausen, secretary-general of the World Lutheran Federation, on the occasion of his visit to Rome on November 8, 1964. "After various preparatory conversations and after approval of the respective authorities the mixed working group of Catholic and Lutheran theologians was set up The purpose of the group was to study the possibility of a future development of contacts and to fix a programme for official dialgoue between the two churches"
The World Lutheran Federation is composed of 59 Lutheran churches with a combined total of 50 million members out of a total of 80 million Lutheransthroughoutthe world

ARTIST CONDUCTS ONLY FULL-TIME CLASSES FOR AMATEUR PAINTERS
and develop their individual talents The high standard reached by members of his classes and their artistic achievements are well known among art circles
Mr Froudist commenced his first art class at the same time as Mr Hew Roberts was appointed the Director of the Adult Education Board In fact Mr Roberts was himself one of the first leaving art students, and has described Mr Froudist as one of the "really great" art teachers, whose influence has expanded the Adult Education Board's art course to one of the most popular ever conducted
He also said that the increased public interest was largely the result of practical teaching to trainee artists rather than academic lectures on the theory of art
Mr Froudist said that he had always found Mr Roberts and the Adult Education Board of the W A University very responsive to his ideas

MR. HENRY FROU-
DIST, noted artist and most gifted teacher, was born in Poland, and he studied in Poland, France and Germany
Before coming to Perth 14 years ago Mr Froudist was teaching at the University College of Exeter Adult Education Department
He is now a naturalised Australian
Recently Mr Froudist resigned from his position with the Education Department to form the
first full-time school for amateur adultpainters in the world He felt he wanted to devote his whole attention to the Adult Education classes
"This is now my life's work" he said "It is the realisationnot only of an idea, but of an ideal. All this is possible, thanks to 7

While interviewing Mr Froudist, I began to understand what he meant I found him a very friendlyindividual,warmhearted, easily approachable and readily responsive, and I found he has a wide enthusiasm for the work of others His fluent vocabulary
and a lively, spontaneous flow of ideas on any subject connected with art, would seem to indicate an extensive background on all aspects of the subject It is evident that he himself is a worthy product of his own great masters
A sense of achievement is needed for a successful life Success is the accomplishment of one's personal objectives, and this success is twofold when it is favourably received by others
"It was only after 20 of my past pupils had become professional art teachers," said Mr Froudist, "that I decided to resign from the Education Department I think
DRIVING FORCE
SINCE his first class with the Adult Education in 1957, Mr Froudist's following has increased He is the driving force behind the flourishing art classes His pioneering has gradually caused these classes to assume the image of a school of painting at a national level
He is able to fire his students with enthusiasm
Accused Communists Jesuits
At a public meeting held in Progreso, Honduras, to discuss conflicting claims over ownership of land, a member of the powerful Bogran family accused Father Thomas Quiery, S.J and Father James Carney, SaJ, both Americans, of being comg!'ls[6
The two Jesuits are working in the Honduran mission assigned to the MissouriprovinceJesuits Father Quiery is pastor of the Progreso parish and Father Carney is his assistant

The Bograns are members of the National party They now demand that land judged by the National Agrarian Institute to be theirs be paid for or the campesinos removed
ATTENDED MEETINGS
The Jesuit priests attended meetings held to arbitrate the conflict They supported the claims of the campesinos' union that the down-payment demanded by the
Bograns was too high and that the land offered for sale was undesirable Their position was tat the campesinos ought not to be moved from land already cultivated by them
It was during one of the arbitration meetings that the Bogran side made their accusation They claimed to have the support of the Honduran armed forces and the government in making the denunciation Theaccusation has been widely publicised and
"Thanks to their understanding" said Mr Froudist, "I am now able to continue my work"
I can say that I encouraged them in their art studies, and now that this has happened my years will be devoted to helping and fostering!

"I have found from ex 16 weeks learning to play perience, said Debbie, the guitar The result was "that the only way to get calloused fingers and a picture you want is to broken fingernails Debgo after it aggressively I bie feels that the extra was sixteen when I made effort was worth it In my first movie I have the picture she plays her grownup in the business own accompaniment Producers I have known when singing "Domifor years and are my friends have had a tendency, until recently, to regard me as a little girl
This is pleasing to the feminine ego It is also limiting on an actress."
With her rousing performance of the rambunctious Molly Brown Debbie proved to any remaining sceptics that she had grown up with a bang, and in the process firmly established herself as an actress and performer of remarkable versatility
Her portrayal of the title role in "The Singing Nun" is obviously more restrained but no less compelling in a film best described as a lighthearted drama with rich humour and captivating music
• CONVENT LIFE
To capturethespirit of thecharacterisation, Debbie quietly arranged through a Catholicfriend to go into a convent in NorthernCalifornia "It was A memorable experience" she recalled 'The Sisters were wonderful human beings who radiated happiness The youngernuns were full of laughter and love of the life to which they had dedicated themselves Remaining in the convent even for a short time

'4WE have a tittle saying here at the Stella Maris, Fremantle: "Whe1 things have the appear ance of being quiet, something really exciting is about to happen"
Things, though busy, were normal enough as regards the amount of shipping but as I write here, there are five ships anchored out in Gage Roads waiting for berths
That means things will be very busy indeed for some little time to come
The month past has seen shipping and seafarers auite a bit in the news - In the beginning of the month the Building Fund Appeal for the new Stella Maris Seafarers' Memorial Club was launched through the press I trust you read all about it in the pages of "The Record" I would like to thank the advertisers who donated the space so that we could tell you about this project that is hoped to be initiated in thenottoo distantfuture
We would like to feel that you not only approve of what is being done for seafarers in Fremantle, but that you would also show your interest in a tangible form by donating financially to ourBuildingFundAppeal
As well as your valuable prayers, which I expect we take for granted, it is another way in which you can participate in our work Your generous donations will enable us to commence on the new club structure all the sooner

they get to know us, too, and our work, and they learn to respect us and what we undertake on behalf of the seafarer We are, I believe, on the threshold of a great expansion in shipping generally in Australia and especially in Western Australia, where the development and utilisation of the State's resources depend so much on shipping We should be better equipped than we are at present to meet this general expansion throughout the State from the point ofview of the Apostolate
all, it is expected to be a grand occasion and if the past functions sponsored by the Club Ladies' Auxiliary are any indication a first-class evening is guaranteed
There are still ample supplies of tickets available at the club and are priced at only $3. Even if you have not got a ticket do come and enjoy a gala evening The entire proceeds will go to the Club Building Fund Make a note of the date

With regard to the low ideals, poor standards of conduct etc presented in such convincing ways through films, radio and television, Father suggested the girls could bring others to see how wrong they are not by accusation, but by asking questions conducive to good moral thinking, eventualy bringing about the desired reforms through their own considerations
In conclusion, Father exhorted the girls to fre-

The talk was followed by a thoroughly enjoyable quiz session and musical games, which proved to be an effective appetiser for the tasty supper served by the Sisters after the meeting was officially closed at 9.30 pm
The girls departed in high spirits, feeling they had benefited greatly by being present
The next Younger Set" meeting will be held on Thursday, August 18, at 8 pm It is hoped that many more ex-pupils will go along and renew old acquaintances

Treasures Of The Church
To prolong his torment half-lighted coals were placed under the gridiron to which they had strapped him Thus did Laurence, one of the most famous martyrs of the Church, go to his death n AD 258 Laurence was the first among seven deacons who served the Roman church It was a position of great trust and his duty was to administer the possessions of the Church and help the poor and homeless When arrested by the Imperial authorities and called upon to deliver up the riches of the Church he assembled those whom the Church supported the poor the maimed, the blind, the widows and orphans These are the treasures of the Church!" he exclaimed Famed is the tomb of St Laurence underneath the high altar of the Basilica of St Laurence, Rome With those of St John Lateran, St Peter, St Mary Major, and St Paul it is one of the five patriarchal basilicas which represent the patriarchates of Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople and Jerusalem The Basilica and cemetery of St Laurence are shown in the picture by Arthur OLeary

all brushes thoroughly
TO NDSCA A GARDEN Right Brush @?? IA. PP
ALTHOUGH it would be possible to carry out a home-painting job with one brush, several are required for firstclass work
One factor stands out -one should always buy the best-quality brush one can afford Cheap brushes shed their fibres and even when new do not do the job that a quality brush does
However, price alone is not a guarantee of brush quality When buying a brush, buy one of a recognised make
Then, take care of it (or them) for without proper care any brush will deteriorate
Brushes used for oil paints should not afterwards be used for water paints A good brush should not be used for rough surfaces such as masonry
For detailed work such as cutting-in around windows, etc., a half-inch or one-inch brush is desirable For general work a two-inch brush is excellent For walls and ceilings a four-inch or even a six-inch brush will do a good job and save time
Before using a new brush, tap it against the palm of your hand in crder to remove any dust or loose bristles Never leave a brush in paint overnight Clean
water paint brushes in water (soapyifpossible); lacquer brushes in lacquer thinners
Bore a hole through the brushhandleandthrough this thread a piece of stout wire Suspend the brush, when not in use, in a jar or can of the material you use for cleansing (suspend an oil paint brush in turpentine for example), so that the tip of the brush is clear of the bottom of the container

A landscape consists of what can be seen from a given point at the one momentthe land and whatever is on it whether the latter be natural or man-made Stand in your garden plot and look outward and downward to all points of the compass Go indoors and look out from your windows and doors
In a book, Landscape For Living," the author says: A garden is the outdoor space around a private home sufficiently enclosed or isolated for the use and pleasure of the family"
Today we may enjoy lack of enclosing fences especially at the front of the house but it is becoming increasingly ap parent that some privacy is essential, and the best place for this is at the back of the house
Bear in mind a porch particularly if screened from public gaze, is the ideal for transition from indoor to out door space
The porch is actually a part of the outdoors and it can often be used for preparations in regard to meals, games, etc
A screened porch is ideal for entertaining when heat is oppressive
Somehow it seems to give room for more people than does an inside room of the same size
{DEVELOPING
DEVELOPING the back garden space for full use of the family and friends calls in the first place for an analysis of just what the family best likes to do
If they look upon the garden merely as something which should look pleasing with perhaps a shady spot in which to read a book at weekends then there is little in the way ofproblems
Here you want only something pleasing to look upon A tree or two, some lawn a few shrubs and flower beds to suit your choice
If much of your timeincluding meal timesis spent in a room where one can look out into the garden then plan your flower beds and the like from yourwindows
If there are youngsters in the family, then have sufficient lawn forgames See that thorn bushes (such as roses) are not in the forefront of the flower beds A small back garden
rock garden can create a picturesque corner See that rear fences are covered with climbing plants or hidden by shrubs Lattice work which shows throughout most of the year should be painted, preferably in a variety of bright colours In a climate such as ours a barbecue is a "must" A well-designed and solidly brick structure gives the greatest value and canbe made to look extremely pleasing
One or two seats should be provided near this
{3CO1on
THE painting of trells has already been mentioned
Thought may well be given, however to the colour scheme of the plants which are to be grown A well thought out plan in this regard can give great pleasure to the eye
Shrubs bearing coloured berries can decorate the landscape for lengthy periods, and thought should also be given to plants with leaves which provide colours other than green A coloured beach umbrella can provide both colour and shade
Coloured lights, of course, are extremely popular for parties and gatherings at night
REPLETE with catchy songs touched by humour and heart appeal, 'The Singing Nun," new Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer drama in Panavision and colour, is a motion picture which leaves its viewer feeling buoyant and uplifted n it, Debbie Reynolds, playing the title role as the young Belgian Dominican nun, Sister Ann, bas her most triumphant "role since her outstanding hit in The Unsinkable Mo 11 y Brown," which won her an Academy Award nomination
When you see this joyous young nun careering over the countryside on a motor-scooter, getting kicked in the shins in a soccer game, zooming down a slide in a playground, or leading a Pied Piper's dance with a group of youngsters, you are completely caught up in the infectious endearment of this appealing story
The all-star cast also has Greer Garson making oneof her rarescreen appearances as Mother Prioress of Samaritan House Ricardo Montalban, Agnes, Moorehead, Chad Everett Katharine Ross, Juanita Moore and Ed Sullivan who plays himself in a segment of
BY DESTRAVE
the story in which he recreates one of his television shows Sister Ann, one of the nuns who has come to Samaritan House to help the poor and underprivileged, brings with her the guitar on which she has composed 1 i ghthearted songs, which ultimately are to make her a celebrity and to bring her soul-searching personal problems
DELIGHTFUL ASPECT
THESE are the songs of the famous nun's music, and one of the delightful aspects of "The Singing Nun" is Debbie's singing of such songs as "Dominique," "Sister Adele," "Brother John," "Raindrops," "Beyond the Stars" and "Avec Toi," to mention only a few
When Sister Ann is persuaded to record an album of her songs her efforts achieve overnight popularity leading to her appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show But her sudden and unexpected fame also faces her with a momentous decision, one which has its impact on other persons
One is Robert Gerard, who fell in love with Sister Ann when they were fellow students at a music conservatory, and who implores her to give
up her life as a nun in favour of a professional career
Another is Nicole, the sister of a youngster who has become Sister Ann's protege Embittered by poverty and neglect, Nicole has taken the "easy way" to get something out of life
Sister Ann's ultimate decision marks not only the pattern of her own life but theirs as well
Greer Garson gives a warm and glowing performance as the Mother Prioress, with other fine portrayals by Montalban as Father Clementi, Agnes Moorehead as the grumpy Sister Cuny, Juanity Moore as Sister Mary and Katharine Ross as the embittered Nicole who eventually finds a ray of hope in her drab life
Chad Everett wins sympathy as Robert Gerard and little Ricky Cordell is completely endearing as the youngster who kicks Sister Ann in the shins and afterwards becomes her greatest friend
A John Beck Production, "The Singing Nun" was directed by Henry Koster, from a screenplay by Sally Benson and John Furia, Jr In addi-
tion to the Nun's Music, other lilting songs in the film were written by Randy Sparks t we

THIS is the latest in the series of Tchaikovsky symphonies performed by the Vienna Philhar monic under Lorin Maazel The nickname of this work is the Little Russian" deriving from some folk tunes used in the third movement It is a long way from the emotional, introspective Tchaikovsky of the Sixth Symphony, but it has still his unfailing gift of melody
Personally, I found the firstmovementheavyand lumpish, but the rest of the work has many good moments The orchestral ] playing is beyond reproach; Maazel does not bring quite the same vitality to this as to the later symphonies, but he has not the same material to work on A good performance of a second-line work

HAYDN: Symphonies 6, 13 and 64 Astor, $250.
EARLY Haydn is rather more rewarding than early Tchaiskovsky, provided always you like Haydn In spite of the contemporary vo gue overseas, locally we underrate him; yet here, even as a young man, we find strong evidence of the least - known of Haydn's virtuesthat he was a revolutionary of such daring originality that he makes his successors, Mozart and Beethoven, appear to be stickin-the-muds
No 6 in D major is the first of a set of three, "Morning," "Noon" and "Night," not in Vienna (as von Suppe had it a century later) but at Esterhazy, being his very first work there It is a charming work, well worth concert revival with a violin-cello duo in the slow movement which is particularly lovely The Minuet is used for the first time, but continuo and concertante elements are still present making it a kind of hybrid between the Baroque and Classical schools
No 13 in D major is more than charming it is wonderful music almost throughout The first movement is fast and vital, with gorgeous horn sonorities as a background to the whiplast violins The slow movement is practically a cello concerto and the last movement has the same four-note theme as Mozart's "Jupiter," here
treated with and wit No 64 in A major is closer to the mature Haydn; the continuo and concertante style have vanished and the two outer movements show a rich harmonic treatment while the tunefulness exuberance and style are as endearing as ever Leslie Jones conducts the Little Orchestra of London in very good performances, although the slow movement all drag The taut first movement of No 13 brings magnificent playing A little gem

sic can be a trap and never more than with this work, the complete ballet, Op 71, because it has a ballet suite derived from it Op 71a The bal let has 15 numbers, some of which have several dances, whereas the suite has only eight dances and is about a quarter the length of the full ballet
Making it even worse, some recorded versions of both ballet and suite have some numbers missing This is complete, as far as I can ascertain, and therefore is extremely good value for money
The orchestra is the Utah Symphony Orchestra under Abravanal and he maintains a vigorous drive admirable in the more rhythmic numbers Elsewhere, the Decca set made by the Suisse Romande under Ansermet has more delicacy, but it is very much dearer, of course
The recording is bright and fresh; it is obviously quite modern

In fact, the whole programme was televisedfor eventual showing by TVW7 and Rowe is a star built by TV and radio
I therefore crave your indulgence while I let off a bit of steam
I was at the Capitol Theatre for both of the shows concerned I was standing in the wings viewing the programme on a TV monitor
These are the facts
At the opening of both shows and before each interval, thevoice ofGary Carvolth was relayed to the audience; the statement was this: The management wishes to announce that anyone leaving their seat during this performance will be removedfromthetheatre and not allowed to return"
Security guards looking like stormtroopers were placed in close proximity to the stage, as a further warning
The audience was, however, predisposed to causing havoc After all, they had been reacting for weeks about Rowe's stormy reception throughout Australia and with teenage logic were determined that his reception in Perth be just as riotous
The performers knew this If they don't win hysterical screams and people jumping up and down on seats they know they haven't clicked with the audience
The promoters knew this otherwise why waste money on security guards?
The backstage crew knew this-they were already making comparisons of other "pop" shows that have already been in town
The audience came equipped with streamers sweets, dolls and hats to 9 am., 7 throw at their idols

There will inevitably be more "pop" shows and more riots The pattern has been set There is little or no solution This is what the young audience come to see and do Blame is easy Control is almost impossible
Bythe way, I saw three girls equipped with GoGo frocks, endeavouring to sneak backstage by pretending to be members of the cast. I also saw a young man with deep scratches on his face and hands from trying to handleone ofthese "fainting" young ladies, once she got backstage
All in all, the whole eveningcouldbesummed up by someone standing in the wings who, looking at the scene with horror was heard to say, I saw the African Ballet last night and thank heaven they are civilised"

AFRICAN BALLET
L_ES BALLETS AFR CAINS turned out to be as exciting and colourful as advance publicit had claimed It had both spectacle and varietyvigorous, athletic dances accompanied by urgent, exciting drums, and quiet graceful interludes reminiscent of the elegant courtly pavan
The liberal use of sophisticated theatrical aids added to the appeal of this essentially primitive entertainment Lighting effects, painted backdrops and simple stage properties may not have appealed to those who prefer such dances presented with simplicity, but the majority of the audience appeared to ap preciate the use of such aids,
In some ways the pro gramme reminded me of a highly polished variety concert with something for everyonedancers vocalists, instrumenta lists and comedians It
appeared to have been arranged by someone with a keen eye to Western tastes Whether this was so or not, the result was an exciting blend of classical and modern in both song and dance We may be duly grateful that no attempt was made here to ban the girls of the company fromappearing with bare breasts There was nothing offensive in the brief appearances of barebreasted dancers They participatedin the dances with all the naturalness and vigour of their "covered-up" sisters It is difficult to understand why such appearances were banned in Mexico City and Brisbane The most lasting impression I took away from the show was the remarkable similarity between the movements of our up-to-the-minute GoGo girls and the exponents of these time-honoured dances of West Africa-Aristarchus gar gave an impressively po 1 i shed performance with unexpectedly fine support from Barry Prothero as Godfrey Greer Chester as Zoe was also impressive; her performance was both sensitive and memorable Minor roles were also well done a pleasing change in University plays of late ProducerCollinO'Brien can be justly proud of his actors and production, and the universities of the East should be hard-pressed to match this excellent production in the coming Festival

THE SOCIAL NATURE OF HOLINESSHoliness is love; a love springing from our incorporation in Christ as sons of God and sharers in the divine nature It is the fullness of God's grace in us, which we must use to be better and to develop our lives Just as we develop our character by mixing with others, we develop the divine life in our souls by following the humble, cross-laden, thorn-crowned King Jesus The cross is at the centre of our lives and every Christian must take up his cross daily and follow Jesus Self-denial and sacrifice, prayer and penance are necessary parts in following Our Saviour A living charity towards others brings us in contact with others, does good to them and to us We develop our love for God and our neighbour thereby Holiness is a positive thing and requires effort Holiness is life divine life in the soul.
PRAYER OF THE DAY:
Lord Jesus, teach me to be generous; to serve You as You deserve to be served; to give without counting the cost; to fight without counting the wounds; to work without seeking rest; to spend my life without expecting any other return than the knowledge that I do Your Holy Will Amen

HOLINESS IN THE CHURCH
All holiness is holiness in the Church-the very Body of Christ. It goes out to all men in generous love and willing service This includes the ordinary work that men must do to earn a living Thus they will show forth to all men the charity with which Christ has loved the world This is the picture of a loving serving, active holy people of God that the Vatican Council gives us The betterment of human society and the whole of creation 'forms the natural and necessary result of perfect love of God and our neighbour Holiness works and lives in the world about us, but is not part of it. It is of God and is centred in God, like the Church itself Many people with weak faith think only of the sinners that are in the Church They forget those who are striving to be good The Council calls us all to live worthy lives of sacrifice and good works, that the whole world may see in us loyal and sincere followers of Christ.

MANY PAY TRIBUTE TO LATE BISHOP RODGERS
HERE HAVE BEEN MANY TRIBUTES TO THE LATE BISHOP JOSEPH RODGERS OF KILLALOE, WHO DIED UNEXPECTEDLY IN JULY AT THE BISHOP'S PALACE WESTBOURNE, ENNIS, COUNTY CLARE
The previous day he had attended a concursus at St, Flannan's College, Ennis and the following day was to have celebrated 9 o'clock Mass in the Cathedral prior to leading the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock Shrine in County Mayo
Bishop Rodgers had a distinguished academic career He was born at Flagmount, in the east of County Clare in 1903 and was educated in St Flannans College, Ennis, and St Patrick's College, Maynooth, which he entered in 1920
After his ordination in 1927, and a further year's study at the Dunboyne Establishment, he was soon appointed a Professor at St Flannan's, where he taught Latin Greek and Irish In 1939 he became Vice-President of the College, remaining in this position until 1948 when he was appointed Titular Bishop of Sebela and Coadjutor to the Bishop of Killaloe with right of succession
Sevenyearslater hesucceeded Bishop Fogarty as Bishop of Killaloe was intensely interested in social problems and in the restoration of Irish as the language of the people in daily affairs; he was outspoken on social and educational questions but not pessimistic For instance, he appreciated the importance of science in education, but argued that science can never be enough; there is such a thing ascharacterbuilding he said in 1960 to past pupils of St Flannan's and a man who might know all there is to know about science might still not be a cultured man
Some years ago when emigration reached an abnormally high level, Bishop Rodgers was particularly concerned; he instanced 400 people hav-
ing left one parish in three years Subsequently emigration was to drop to probably the lowest figure since the Famine of last mid-century
Leaders of Church and State, and members of all politcal parties, attended the funeral of the late Bishop, and a notable feature was the part played by the children of the diocese in the farewell
Paisley Chooses Gaol
'THE name Ian Paisley whose fiery appeals to Protestants in Northern Ireland (which is in the United Kingdom) to fight ecumenism, has become another name for bigotry throughout the United Kingdom itself where even stately organs like the "Sunday Times" feel ashamed of what they have called a "political slum"
The Northern Government, based on the Protestant majority carved off from the rest of Ireland by Partition, has been in power for over forty years, with persistent complaints from Catholics of gerrymandering of constituencies, discrimination in employment and housing even property requirements

wide Service, and will gladly quote on any 'requirements
for certain types of voting It has been under fire for years, but its present Premier Captain Terence O'Neill, educated in England has been trying to introduce a tolerance that was welcomed throughout the world
Ian Paisley head of what is called the Free Presbyterian Church is disowned by the Presbyterian Church there and recently staged a big march against it when President de Valera's representative, the Queens representative, and other distinguished v i sito rs were paying their friendly respects at a Presbyterian conference Paisley and several of his supporters were brought to Court for disorder, fined and ordered to enter into recognisances to keep the peace, or in default three months imprisonment
As I write, Paisley is refusing to enter into recognisances or pay the fine and he and several of his supporters say they are going to gaol
Simultaneously with the fiery Paisley speeches, armed Protestants gunned down three young barmen, killing one, in a Belfast street; their only "crime" was that they were Catholics
Several men are presently before the Northern Courts, accused of this and other outrages
Premier Harold Wilson described the instigators as a quasi-Nazi movement sheltering behind a clerical collar Paisley has denied he advocates force, and says he is merely out againstRomeward trends in Ulster Protestantism
For months the situation has been explosive, but Premier O'Neill outlawed the Protestant Volunteer Force of armed men, and has left no doubt that he is against a blood-bath of Catholics
Recently he and his Ministers began a series of exchange visits with Premier Lemass and the Dublin Ministers, and good relations were growing rapidly, and gaining some respect for the Northern Government when the Paisley campaign reached its height and simultaneously, murder returned to Belfast
For his Court hearing, Paisley summoned as witnesses such leading people as the wife of the Queen's representative in Northern Ireland; Premier ONeill (who was in London himself during the relevant time) was to have a hundred witnesses, but sensationally he and his supporters did not give evidence on oath and the cases folded up quickly with the fines and the requirement to be of good behaviour, or in default of giving the undertaking, then prison Which is where we came in; it is not unlikely that Ian Paisley will go on hunger-strike, and blame it on the Pope In the Court case, police described his behaviour as incitement to the Prebyterians on this occasion For the moment the anti-Catholic violence seems to be "contained" and the steadying voices of the Catholic Bishops, of the leading Protestant Churches, of Premier O'Neill, all urging no reprisals by Catholics, have helped in this
Even a BBC commentator who has presented some of the facts, was threatened with his life in London and had to be protected by the police No wonder Britain is not particularly proud of the Northern situation, while on the closest terms of respect and goodwill with the Republic, with its democratic system in which religious discrimination is unthinkable

LOVE
• By BISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN
THE Missions of the world are being spiritually wounded by magazine-theology which says to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament: Move over to the side and give place to me in the centre" It is well for those who negate in any way this great mystery of faith to recall what occasioned the fall of Judas It was not avarice that came much later, but a lack of faith in the Eucharist Read Chapter 6 of St. John and you will see at what point Judas weakened
WHAT is the relation between the Eucharist and the Missions? Bear with me, while we unfold a little Scripture Two words sum up the humiliation of Our Lord on the one " hand and His glorification on the other "kenosis" and "pleroma" The first means an "emptying," the second a filling-up," the valley is an emptying which fills the mountain Our Lord did a double emptying. In His Incarnation He hid the glory of His divinity and became a suffering slave-first, bearing a heavy burden (the cross of our sins) and, second, doing dirty work (washing the dirty feet of the apostles) For this emptying He now "fills up" His Body which is the Church, as she grows through conversions and missions from a few cells to a developed
organism
BUT there was a second emptying which was the Eucharist. This was not so much in relation to His human nature as to His creation, us the visible world the cosmos things, all that surround us As He emptied his glory in a slave-human nature, so He emptied His glory by hiding His divinity under bread and wine Thus, He humiliated Himself in humanity and in the cosmos As He sanctified all humanity by taking our nature, so He began to restore all creation to Himself by humbling Himself under the two most sacrificial things that grow -wheat and grapes When we priests prepare these at the altar, think of how much of visible creation is involved-farmers, wine merchants,
THIS is what St Paul means when he says: "Christ fills all things."l Thus as the Incarnation was the beginning of the sanctification of mankind, so the Eucharist is the beginning of the spiritualisation of all created matter Applicationas Christ emptied Himself, so we must empty our humanity of comforts and luxuries to fl up the Body of Christ in mission lands Humanity served Him through a human nature given by Mary; the visible universe and the scientific universe serve Him when offered by the priest in the Mass Human nature and the cosmos, men and things the Church and the Eucharist-these must be kept together if we will save the world It would be interesting to note how many churches which have cast the Eucharistic Lord aside have ever used any of their wealth and their collections for the poor of the world We cannot allow nuclear and atomic forces to prepare a blasting of this creation which belongs to the Lord In reparation for the forge! fulness of Christ in the Eucharist may we ask priests to help us build chapels in the Missions? May we ask you, our beloved people, t send whatever you can to glorify the Lord Who, throughout the Old Testament, proclaimed the "Bread of Perpetual Presence?"

of His heavenly Father, said: "Lord, show us the Father" To that OurLordreplied: "Philip he that seeth me seeth the Father also"
That He was referring, not to bodily eyesight, but to the insight of faith, is evident fromHis next words: "Do you not believe' that I am in the Father and the Father in me?" Jn 14 10.
All that Philip saw with his bodily eyes was the created humanity of Christ; and if he stopped at that, Our Lord's first words would apply: God alone is good"and the source of all goodness "You see my created humanity; and any good it possesses is a derived goodness"
But faith rises above mere sense-experience of Christ's created human nature to a belief in His Divinity as the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, equally God with the Father in His eternal possession of the Divme Nature
There was an immense the highest standards of difference between a virtue; that He died for mere bodily sight of our salvation; rose again Christ's created human from the dead; ascended nature and the insight into heaven; and that He of faith in the Divinity will come some day to of His Person; and these judge the living and the different points of view dead gave rise to the two dif- Therefore let us repent ferent but not really of our sins and do our contradictory state best to follow Christ as ments the Way, the Truth and BIBLICAL the Life DIFFICULTIES CONTRADICTIONS"
Q : For 40 years I have worked the Bible and still I find it hard to unaerstand
R.: There are difficult passages in the Bible, their obscurity being unavoidable whether from the nature of the matters with which they deal, or from the way in which they do so
But there is much more that is well within the reach of the ordinary reader
The specialist may need a wide and varied knowledge far greater than that needed by, say, a Shakespearean scholar, a knowledge of ancient Hebrew and Greek languages or Semitic history and literary forms, etc But the Bible is not simply a book for specialists and scholars
The distinctive message it contains we can all grasp; that the prophecies of old have been fulfilled; that Jesus, born of David's line, is

Q : The Bible contra dicts itself too often, why I don't know
R.: Contradictions are often only apparent rather than real due to descriptions of the same thing or event from different aspects; or to the omission of details in one account which are given more fully in another account; or to the same essential teaching being given in different words
As for religious beliefs "floundering," some individuals ignore them in practice although not able to suppress them, and some have really managed to abandon them for a religionless outlook on life
On the other band however, there are people who come from a religionless outlook on life to profoundly religious convictions, or who resume the religious beliefs they thought they had outgrown but which in reality had remained latent within them
Whatever the relative proportions of those drifting from or returning to religious beliefs, science as such has nothing to do with it
Sometimes there are real contradictions due to different sources hav ing been used by the inspired writers who On the merely natural were concerned with level, a man might be what their quotations hindered or helped reillustrated rather than ligiously byphilosophical with what they said reasoning or by ignoring
But these problems Or heeding the voice of can be left to the special conscience; whilst on ists The ordinary read the supernatural level he er should not let him could be hindered or self be distracted by helped by his rejection them but, letting them or acceptance of the digo read Sacred Scrip vinely offered light of ture for its basic mes faith and of the grace of God sage, teachings and spiritual ideals
GOD'S "REMOTE CONTROL
AndAdmirers -
LAOS,"' SYDNEY: That great convert, Arnold Lunn, has joined the ranks of those of us who are not happy about the tendency of some "cradle Cathoics" to ook back to Martin Luther
RR: Hesays quite frankIy that he is not happy about what he considers an over-readiness to discard much of the Catholic way of life which he had so learned to appreciate and had so devoted himself to defending against hostile critics
He objects also to what he calls the credulity of some writers who seemdetermined to think the best of those who think the worst of the Catholic Church especialy of those writers who depict Martin Luther as almost fit for canonisation as a saint ignoring whole areas of Luther's life and teachings which must be taken into account for a balanced judgment
In his trenchant style, Lunn describes such Catholic writers as creating the impression that the Church Militant" on earth is evolving into the "Church Appeaser"
LUTHERANS AND THE COUNCIL
: Obviously his conversion to Catholicism was not meant to be a conversion to Lutheranism
R: He has the Catholic faith far too deeply to imagine that the one could involve the other that he disagrees with
some Catholic extremists to whose views no authority whatever attaches does not imply the least doubt on his part concerning the fidelity of the official Decrees of the Vatican Council itself to Catholicism in its full integrity
Meantime Lutherans themselves cannot see any sign of a Lutheran outlook in any of the changes decreed by the Vatican Council
Last March the Lutheran bishops of Germany met for a conference in Berlin and concluded their deliberations by declaringthattheSecond Vatican Council had made no essential religion; thatMartin Luther's reformation is just as important in 1966 as ever it was; and that reunion with the Catholic Church as far as they themselves are concerned is impossible
ECUMENICAL OUTLOOK
Q : What would Arnold Lunn's opinion be of the ecumenical movement? He could not be a very enthusiastic supporter of it
R.: Arnold Lunn would agree that, in God's providence, Luther's revolt against the Catholic Church shocked Catho-
lies from the godless hu manism of the Renais sance period into taking personal religion seriously instead of stopping at mere intellectu alism, institutionalism, sacramentalism and externalism in behaviour
But he certainly holds as all Catholics do, that Luther went too far in declaring reason, eccles iastical authority, sacra ments in the Catholic sense of the word and "good works" to be useless Arnold Lunn, however, cannot be accused of being anti-ecu menical.
With the permission of the late Cardinal Grif fin, of Westminster he created something of a sensation by preaching in an Anglican church in London the Anglican Vi car havinginvited him to do so because he had never written anything, the Vicar said which was uncharitable to wards Anglicans He has said that he sees no possibility of the complete reunion of all Churches -a judgment of fact anyone is entitled to make; but he writes: "I am, however tremendously keen for the utmost possible co-operation between ourselves and other Christian bodies in defence of basic Christian values including Christian morality"
O : Does not God do everything indirectly from the creation of the universe to the judging of the soul?
R: You, of course, want to escape all direct relationships with God in religion and prayer However, taking your
The creation of the material universe in the sense of giving it exis tence at all when there was nothing that could be used as a means towards producing it must be attributed directly to God; but granted His having willed it to exist, then the forces with which He endowed ii could be the direct causes of natural developments within it God thus being the indirect cause of those
From that point of view Charles Darwin wrote in his "Origin of Species": "To my mind, this accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator There's a grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one" But notice that I have limited this to natural developments of the material universe
Where human beings are concerned, while parents are the cause of the bodily formation of children, God Himself, in each case directly creates the spiritual souls made in His own image and likeness which He bestows upon those children: and the judging of the souls of men as they go from this world God reserves directly to Himself
Thejudging of thesoul cannot therefore be regarded as only an indirect instead of a direct activity on God's part When people say: "As God is my judge" they have in mind the fact that they will answer to Him directly in their judgment not to any lesser authorities
