Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, has urged "every reasonable effort be made to celebrate the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in each parish of lilt' diocese.".

Traditionally' devoted to ecumenical observances of all types, the week extends from Tuesday, Jan. 18 to Tuesday, Jan. 25 inclusive.

Attention has been focused on the pleas and guidelines for such celebrations on the universal level ~ prepared by the Holy See's special office for ecumen-

Weddle and a new group called Nurses for Life have filed a friend of the court brief to defend the present law restricting performance of abortions to accredited hospitals. That law is being challenged by a Los Angeles physician seeking unrestricted abortions.

Mrs. Patricia McGivern, who founded ,Nurses for Life, said: "We believe that if other members of our sex could witness an abortion, if they could see the drowning of the child in amniotic fluid, the experimentation on the living child, the disposal of the dismembered child, the emo, tionaI trauma of many women after the abortion, they would, hopefUlly not choose to exercise what they term their 'civil right' to an abortion."

The Vatican Press Office views the statement strictly a's a "study document that commits for the time being only the members of the commission."1t said 'that the agreement "was not yet complete and that there are still essential points to be clarified.

The central question of ministry of the Eucharist has not been touched on, since it will be the object of a special session of the mixed commission which is to take place in September, 1972."

The commission statement says that: "Communion with Christ in the Eucharist presupposes His -true presence, effectively signified by the 'bread and wine which, in this mystery, become His Body and Bloood."

"Christ is present and active, in various ways, in the entire Eucharistic celebration. It is the .. same Lord who t~rough the proTurn to Page SiX

Final preparations for the 17th AnllUal Bishop's Charity Ball will be launched Sunday when the decorating and presentees groups of the outstanding social affair of the Winter season meet on Sunday afternoon at the Lirlcoln Park Ballroom.

The Catholic cochairman of the commission, Bishop Alan Clark of Northampton, Engfan.d, has pointed out that the document is the opinion of the 18 commission theologians, Catholic and Anglican, .and has not been ratified by the authorities of either Church. The Bishop himself believes that the agreement may contain many ambiguities. The Times of London said that the agreement wHl be seen by most people a'S "ambiguous on the controversial points. ': •. It . speaks in the broadest terms of the presence of Christ at the Eucharist."

Anglicans now share a common faith in the Eucharist."

A special respect and recognition of our separated· brethr.en is to be emphasizeQ by individuals and parishes, parochial and diocesan schools, local and regional CCD programs.

Each parish is urged to plan and hold an ecumenical service and to invite non-Catholic clergy and faithful to participate.

"It remains now," the Most Rev. Bishop stated, "for each and every Catholic to put into practice the inspired direction which has been provided. Suspicion and prejudice must be put aside.

"Our youngsters, firm and full in their commitment to our Faith, must be instructed in the understanding of and compassion for those whose belief differs from our own."

Materials suggesting various programs and parochial observances, especially prepared by ·the Graymoor Fathers, is being distributed throughout the diocese.

Bishop C~onin To Be Homilist Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, has accepted the invitation to deliver the homily at the episcopal ordination of the two newly appointed auxiliary bishops of Boston. ' Once an auxiliary bishop of Boston himself, the Fall River Ordinary will return to the Metropolitan See for the ordination of his successors.

Anglican Protests 'Israeli' Jerusalem

BALTIMORE (NC) - A 62year-old husband and father who skipped the regular diaconate training program has been or· dained a full-time deacon here.

Thomas P. Plummer was ordained by Auxiliary Bishop T. Austin Murphy of Baltimore.

Plummer works for the Balti-' more archdiocesan health affairs department on a full-time basis.

A former insurance broker, Plummer holds every teaching certificate awarded by the archdiocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. He has completed the American Medical Associa· tion's chaplaincy program and has taken· religious studies in the Holy Land. He is a leader of the Cursillo movement here and is a Benedictine lay oblate of St. Anselm's Abbey in Washington, D.C. Baltimore archdiocesan off~ci~ als, citing Plummer's background, decided he was qualified for tIle diaconate without further training and proceeded to ordiliifhim.

As a deacon, Plummer said he hopes to continue the extensive work in area nursing homes that has occupied him for 11 years.

He has set, up religious services for Catholics and members of other faiths, conducted discussion groups, invited outside speakers, and kept records of Catholics living in those homes.

He is believed to be the nation's first full-time deacon.

Now he will be available 24 hours a day and will be provided with a, telephone answerJng service.

Archbish'op Says 'Par()chial School Plight Desperate HARTFORD ,(NC)-The finan~' situation of Catholic cshools in the Hartford archdiocese is desperate, Archbishop John' F; Whea)on told newsmen here.

"Unless we get massive state or federal aid, we cannot continue with the broad-based school system we have had," he said following an address to local Rotary Club members.

Archbishop Whealon . said, however, that the archdiocese would continue. its educational commitment. "There will be more academies and fewer parochial schools," he said.

Asked about regional planning for parochial schools, he 'said it is being explored, "but won't do much good. Our high schools are in trouble and they are administered as regional schools."

He also talked to newsmen about efforts by state legal officials to recapture funds given nonpublic schools under a Connecticut state aid law which was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court last June. t Concern for Poor Saying that the state is now demanding full' repayment on the funds, the archbishop said: "We are now asking the state's attorney general to please tell us why the state is insisting on total recapture, so our attorneys can study .that reply.

But we have not yet been favored with an answer. When a contract is terminated, there are normal allowances made for expenses incurred ·in good faith,", He also said that Connecticut Catholic Conference officials had urged Gov. Thomas J. Meskill's administration to restore proposed welfare cuts in the state's budget. "In the questio~ of priorities in the state budget, concern for the poor has to come high," he commented.

'Many A,re Shaken' In formal remarks to the Rotarians, Archbishop Whealon listed three goals of the Second Vatican Council: to modernize the Church, help bind divisions among Christians and offer the modern world some of the Church's wisdom.

On the first two goals, he said the Church deserves "A" grades: But he gave the Church a failing grade on the third point-"not, however, because of lack of zeal or effort by the Church, but because of conditions of modern life since 1965," He cited "winds of, social change which have thrown up so much dust in people's eyes, they have not been able to see the personal, spiritual message of the Church," He ~aid this "confusion has led to abandonment of the faith on every hand.

Many people are' shaken."

Even under normal conditions, he said, there is an unemployment rate of 20 per cent to 25 per cent among Mexican-American migrant and seasonal farm workers in the area, .and the flooding of much farmland has caused this rate to soar.

"I have 'Iearned here what it means to be a priest of Jesus Christ," That was the declaration of Rev. Mr. Timothy Goldrick as he preached for the last time to parishioners of Holy Name Church, Fall River. The young deacon, assigned since last Summer to Holy Name for pastoral experience, now returns to St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, for final studies preparatory to ordination in May. "Many people tell me that I'm crazy to want to be a priest in this day and age," he told the congregation, "but at Holy Name I have seen what the pastoral ministry involves. I've seen the priests here go out at 2 and 3 in the morning to give the Sacraments of the Sick toa dying Christian, I've seen the service they. give to this community.

Now more than ever I know that I want to be a priest."

Successful Program Rev. Mr. Goldrick said that the program for deacons sponsored by St. Mary's Seminary is considered very successful by seminary officials. Under it candidates for the priesthood spend six months working in a parish in their home diocese.

Also a diocesan participant in the St. Mary's program is Rev. Mr. George Bellenoit, assigned to Sacred Heart parish, Fall River.

Fall River seminarians at St. John's Seminary, Brighton, noted Rev. Mr. Goldrick, work in the diocese during the Summer, but assist in Boston parishes during the academic year.

All area seminarians, he said, met once weekly during the past Summer at sessions directed by Rev. John: J. Smith, diocesan director of vocations.·

for them while the priests gave the sacraments," he explaIned.

He also did census work and some home visiting, he said.

Outstanding Project -An outstanding project developed by Rev. Mr. Goldrick was an Advent pr<>gram for parish families, which sought by means of special liturgies and home observances to emphasize the spiritual aspect of Christmas. Nearly 30 families participated in the program.

The deacon also worked with eighth graders at Holy Name School on a "short-term religious project," He said he couldn't get too deeply involved in school activities, knowing that he would be leaving the parish at the end of December.

In his brief stay, however, the young seminarian made a measurahle impact on parish life.

After his ordination in May he will return to Holy Name to ofifer Mass for his friends in the parish. It's safe to say there'll be an ovel"flow congregation for the occasion.

ST. STANISLAUS, FALL RIVER Holy Rosary Sodality will meet at 2 Sunday afternoon, Jan. 9 for a prayer meeting, followed by a business session and social hour in the school hall. Also in the school will be a Men's Club meeting following 7 P.M. Mass Sunday.

Resolutions The new year is not even a week' old' but already, in the lives of too many people, their New Y,ear's resolu~ions are old, not from being· worn out but from being untried.

It might be a good thing if people took a second look at this time at. all the promises made so enthusiastically just a few days ago and decided to become more realistic in what they intend to do in this year that still stretches ahead.

The theme should be that proposed by the Holy Father -peace.

Maybe there is little that the average person can do to bring about peace on the global scale. But there is everything that can be done to bring about peace in one's own conscience. St. Thomas Aquinas defined peace as the tranquility of order, and if there is any disorder between ,a person and God, then there can be no genuine peace of con' science.

Now is the time fpr a person to face his conscience, 'to,confront his own life, to call his predominant fault by, ,name, to understand that this is an obstacle to peace in his own life. It would be easy, of course, to choose some lesser fault and resolve to eliminate this but this would amount. playing games \yith, one's soul and trying to bribe God, let me keep the greater fault and I will give up the lesser.

An extension of this resolution to bring more peace into one's own life is the effort to introduce a greater degree of peace into one's'family life. This'is often the real test of Christianity. It would seem comparatively easy to stand against a wall, and be ,shot by the enemies of Christ for the sake of the Lord. This would be a single, dramatic, glOriOlis act of martyrdom. But' how much harder to be - hurt' and not to hurt in return; to be downgraded arid not retort; to be the object of misunderstanding and not to lash back!· And :this is il situation ·that can' repeat itself many , times in the' average family--:..the interplay of different per"sonalities and ages. And it is in precisely this setting that the peace of Christ must reigp.:-the' consistent,~~ercise of kindness, of forgiveness, of concern.

If ~ person tried to bring about a greater, degree of peace witpin Q,is own conscience and a-greater measure of peace into his own family circle, then this new year could truly be a yearof the tord'speace<

by an anti-war priest, Josephite Fa,ther Philip Berrigan, and 10 other inmates against Danbury federal prison officials was dismis~e;J here.

U.S. District Court Judge M. Joseph Blumenfeld refused to re.::ognize the inmates' charge that their constitutional rights were violated by the prison of~ ficials during a four-week hung~r strike last August.

"Without speculating about , the plaintiffs' motives," the judge n led, "the prison authorities c(luld not sit, idly by while the plaintiffs, in a headlong rush toward martyrdom, revelled in their self-inflicted risk to their health."

Father Philip Berrigan, and Jesuit Father his brother, Daniel Berrigan, are serving sentences at Danbury for burning 'draft card records. The Jesuit priest was not a part of the suit.

In a 32-page decision rejecting the plaintiffs' numerous complaints, Judge' Blumenfeld ,said Danbury officials acted according to law in transferring the inmates to another prison after the hunger, strike started.

Ruling that the plaintiffs had not exhausted all administrative remedies, the judge dismissed charges concerning the placement of inmates in segregated confinement and the withholdiug of good time for possible parJle. .

The inmates said they participated in the hunger strike and work stoppage,' 'and distributed leil.flets'to focus at'tention6n their plight as "political pris~n­ ers." They also protested United States' military involvement- in Indochina and the parole sys~ tem.

Four days after the hunger strike began Aug. 6, the inmates were placed in segregated confinement. The following day they were transferred for a brief stay to the Springfield Medical Center for federal' prisoners in Missouri.

Father Daniel Berrigan, who was denied a parole last July from a three' year sentence, has been granted a new hearing on Jan. 26. The parole board has said it is considering the Jesuit's case, based on new information, . in.eluding the priest's health.

ical activities appear in unusual places these days, including a large city-lighted studio loft on New York's West Side. Here sculptor Ralph Menconi is working on a series of medals commemorating the world's great religions.

The artist has a long and prestigious number of commissions for medals, medallions, tablets and plaques to his ,credit. The Presidential Series, The: Signers of The Declaration of Independence, Robert Fulton 'and Winston Churchill.are but a 'few.

To their designer and scupltor each was interesting; each, important. However,' the' 'current series offers not only '·a· 'chance to do "fairly good" ,scuipture, ' but it's also a chance, he said, ';to break down all, the fragmentation and to bring people together."

Ten medals designed and sculptured by Ralph Menconi will be issued each year until the series is completed. Besides the Roman Catholic' those already issued are the Methodist and Jewish religions. The Buddhist medal is in the process.

In all of them the talented touch of 'the sculptor brings alive the history and symbolism of the various faiths. And so metallic art joins the other art forms, education and religion to encourage the investigation, understanding and appreciation of other religions.

WASHINGTON (NC)-"If the Church is to be relevant to the black community, it has to have black leadership there," said Marist Brother Joseph C. Hager. appointed last month to fill the newly created post of executive director of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus.

Brother Hager told NC News the job involves "acting as a liaison between the hierarchy and black priests and Brothers in the United States, as well as the black lay community. It will entail a great many projects that we, the black clergy, find effective in helping to solve the religious and socio-economic problems of the black community."

He said in an interview that· the black caucus is seeking to • put "more emphasis on action: than rhetoric. We are developing a series of workshops to im; prove the e~pertise of the black clergy in the areas of pastoral counselling, community organization, educational development plan's, and liturgy, adapting ritual and music to the black expel"ience," he said.

Even in January: start considering the freshness of plaid cotton or taffeta skirts; a midi skirt, again in a light wear fabric that can travel into Spring, or one of the season spanning knits we all find indispensable.

Quick Buying sales, but what it does m.ean is that if we wish to fill out our 'wardrobes with low-priced extras we'll find them available and very fashionable.

With the first wave of resort styles hitting the stores we're getting a .preview of what to expect when se set out to buy our Spring and Summer fashions.

Also these early previews, moderately pri~ed: will help keep' our wardrobe 'out of the Winter doldrums. A kicky blouse or even a bright silk -dress looks marvelous on a dreary New England Winter, day when our own flowers are hidden under an accumulation of ice, dirty slush and Winter debris.

One of the 'nice things abC?ut the fashion extras with the low price tag is that they are available to the busy woman who can't spend her days shopping leisurely but instead is forced to shop on lunch hours or in the evening. A good wool outfit or a special. occasion dress requires time. and patience· to shop for 'but the inexpensive extras can be picked 'up on,a whim, bought on an impulse or whipped up overnight on your sewing machine. , (One of the most attractive outfits that I viewed all holiday season was a striking,- black and white plaid skirt trimmed with, black fringe worn by Mrs. Daniel Bogan of St. Joseph's parish in Fall River. Jean doesn't lay any" claims to being a great seamstress but with the help of a' couple of good friends she did create a skirt that was handsome as well as creative.)

Fashion takes thought and while young designers and creative manufacturers are making style extras available to us, it's up to us to use them, correctly.

Seersucker will, be the fabric for Spring, just as' taffeta .and . velvet ruled the 'Winter market.

Blazers: long "skirts and eVEm longer dresses will ,adopt this fabric as their own.

To quote an old line, "You know those eight kids I have .. well seven of them didn't break a leg."

And we got a dishwasher. It's .over-flown the coop (more accurately the sink and the connecting hoses) several times. But that did help clean the kitchen floor.

And we got a new heating system. That's kind of a mixed blessing. We really didn't want a new heating system, but the old one gave up and drained all the water out of all the radiators in the house and dumped it on the cellar floor. But at least it cleaned out the radiators. And we have such nice hot water these days. . That episode brought a deep appreciation to the kids. A week without hot water or heat and they got to know what good is.

They had to heat pot after pot of water for baths, and lug them upstairs. Now, just being able to turn on a faucet and fill a tub they regard as the 'eighth wonder of the world.

Everyone Passed The were other blessings last year. The little ones all passed their exams.

The high school boys passed their exams. . The oldest boy passed his colleg~ entrance exam. .

Our car even passed inspection . . . though I don't know why.

It must have had a deaf inspection agent. But then it never makes those funny noises . . . .except when I'm driving it.

One of my daughters learned to sew. She completed a whole skir': without my having to help her with it.

long enough . . . so she gets to wear it this year.

One of the boys got a learner's permit to drive. Though I have some doubts about the stability of my nerves wlHle he's learning, I can still remember the thrill when I got my permit. (For the .life of me, I can't see why I thought it was such fun driving.

I hate it now. But my children remind me that there weren't so many cars in those days, I just had to watch out for the horses and wagons.) . One of the girls had the "second lead" in the class play, and .did a beautiful job. She remembered all her lines . . . and her cues. But her big thrill came when some of the boys said she was good. That's high praise at 11 years of age.

Something Special I'm sure many. of you have similar little things that happened last year ... little things that make the everyday joy of life.

But something else happened.

Though it is not something often experienced, I'm sure you can share with me in thanking God. One youngest daughter has had a problem with her heart since birth. After examining her, the doctor was reasonably sure it was a hole between the ventricles. Much more extensive testing was necessary, but it would require hospitalization, and. a relati~ely difficult procedure.

But the baby, at that time, was too weak for it. And so it was post'poned, under the condition that I would bring her back regularly so the doctor could observe any changes in her condition.

As we finished last year, there was a change. The hole had com· pletely closed. Her h~art was sound. Only one Surgeon touched it.

It was a very good year.

NEW YORK (NC)-John Gioi'dano is not a man who gives up easy. .

He had met someone he wanted to marry. The whole thing was simple and direct. One day while strolling through the grounds of the Marble Hill project in the Bronx he stopped to talk with a lady he found "nice and sweet." They spent a few minutes together. on a park bench. Then she left to do some shopping. No names were exchanged.

Later, Giordano tnought to himself, "Why riot ask her to marry me. Both of us are alone."

A fair question. But he didn't know where she lived. His eyes roamed the cluster of 17-story buildings making up the project. "Somewhere in there," he said to himself..

So lie set out to find her and for the next month he traced down leads, asking others in the. project if they knew her. Finally, one day he happened to knock on the door of Clara Arrandale O'Connell.

When she opened the door, he lit up. .unfortunately, Clara didn't.

"Yes?" came the cool question.

"I want to marry you," said the voice, full of bravado.

"Who are you?" Marble Hill has had. more' than ,-its share of muggers, although Giordano is not the type you'd expect to see in a line-up.

"The man on the bench," he answered.

"What bench?" she asked.

"Don't you remember," he said, feeling somewhat shattered. "We talked about the weather . . . about being alone and ..."

"Oh! now I remember. You w~~~'" .to. '. ~~J,}'~,,'~~~;)Y~!l~'(, I~~ .

have to think it over. Come in so I can get a good look at you." .

Make Concessions Evidently, Giordano passed the test, and the two became the oldest couple to ever marry in the New York archdiocese.

Fifty friends attended the ceremony, performed by Msgr. John Doherty at St. John's Church in Kingsbridge.

Mrs. Giordano is a spunky 86.

John-she married a younger man-is 81.

But everything is not perfect.

John wanted to marry an Italian girl who could cook pasta.

But tea-and-crumpets Clara, born

S.E. Massachusetrs Finest Food Stores!

in England, doesn't know saltimbocca from scungilli, and so concessions had to be made. Anyway, they recommend marriage to all their friends, especially the four or five widows who were actively chasing Giordano-before Clara arrived on the scene.

The couple does not think of life together in terms of years.

Instead, said Clara philosophically, "We live each day at time."

Council. Supports Religion Courses .In Public Schools WASHINGTON (NC) - Convincing the public that courses on religion are an essential part of every school curriculum is a major task of the newly formed National Council on Religion and Public Educatlion.

But Father William J. Tobin, acting director of the National Center of Religious EducationConfraternity of Christian Doctrine here, said the council would also ~'encourage the preparation of -teachers for the task" and work to improve the quality of course material available.

"If we could create the same sense of urgency that resuUed in the preparation or: curriculum materials and courses on black studies while at the same time countering the haste and public fears that arose in sex education programs, we would be moving in the right direction," the priest said..

Father Tobin was named to an 1~:member steering committee estab\lished at the recent New York meeting where officials of 40 / educational and religious bodies vQJed unanimously to form the religion council.

Two Basic Ways Final formation of the council depends on approval by the constituents of groups at the founding meeting. ' . , Father Laurence Murphy, director of .the U. S. Catholic Conference (USCC) higher education division, and Mrs. Louise Des Marais' of the National Council . of Catholic Laity, are the two other Oathplic representatives on the council steering committee.

Father Tobin said those attending the meeting discussed the two basic' ways of teaching about religion in public schools -separate courses in religion and "the wholistic approach" of explorin~ the religious themes in art, history and other areas of study.

'Presented Objectively' Prayer in public 'schools has been outlawed 'since the U. S. .. Supreme Court's Schempp decision in 1963. But the court also said nothing in its decision "indicates that. . . study of the Bible or of religion, whim presented objectively as part of a secular program of education, may not be effected consistent with the First Amendment."

The fledgling council; which marks the first national attempt to establish an interfaith and interdisciplinary group backing in' public. religion courses 'schools, un$lerscored the court's comment in the council's proposed statement of purpose.

The statement said those joining the council consider religion "a constitutionally acceptable and educationally appropriate part of a secular program of public education." '.

, Daily Newspaper Lauds Church's Housing Pledge

THE ANCHOR-, Jan. 6, 1972

Thu~.,

. ROCKVILLE CENTRE (NC)A pledge by the Rockville Centre diocese to reserve 40 ,acres of Church-owned land for lowincc:~1e housing has been praised by an infiue!1tial Long Island daily newspaper.

The diocesan action shamed public officials in -I,.ong Island, according to an editorial in Newsday, because a non-governmental institution- has now made "most important commitment... in many years to the correction of a public problem." The paper stated that in terms of mora'! leadership "this "40acre gesture is worth 40-square miles of political promises." It added that "the Church's .example. should help some, Long Islanders restore their own perspectives" on the importance of people over property values and tax rates.

Archbishop Asks Prison Reform BOSTON (NC) - Archbishop Humberto S. Medeiros has called for a c.oncerned public to support meaningful legislative proposals for prison reform.

The Boston archbishop warned that "apathetic unconcern or timid misgivings" could undermine the "sincerest efforts at making needed changes" in penal institutions in a Christmas pastoral letter.

The pastoral emphasized that "basic to all efforts for penal reform is a real~zation of the worth and dignity of every human being, however obscured it may have become through circumstances, weakness or even deliberate malice."

Archbishop Medeiros noted that with the harsh realization of the weaknesses and failures of the nation's penal systems "there is developing a dangerous and pessimistic atmosphere of distrust, fear and discouragement, 'both inside and outside of jails."

Warning that there is 00 "simple solution to the need of immediate penal reform," the archbishop said that "'there will be no real progress and very little change in an atmosphere wltich is oharged Wiith mistrust, ignorance and some irresponsible accusations."

He emphasized, however, that "a competent and concerned legislature" advised by experts in the correctional field "and r~­ spon-sive to enlightened and responsible suggestions of prisoners will effectively provide the changes in law that prison reo form so desperately needs."

Basis for Progress BRUSSELS (NC) - With a declaration of joint recognition of each other's Baptism, Belgian Catholics and Protestants com· ' pleted their first major ecumenical step and have laid the basis for further progress. The declaration was made by Cardinal Leo Suenens of Malines-Brussels fQr the Catholics and by representatives of four Protestant groups: the Protestant Church of Belgium, the Reformed Church of Belgium (French-speaking), the Reformed Church of Belgium (Flemish-speaking) and the German-speaking Evangelical Community in Belgium.

And Can Expect Irate 'Mail

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick Just before the New Year the Fall River City, Council pa:sed an ordinance requiring owners to keep dogs, on leashes. This has brought forth a nu'mber of complaints of unfairness, including a picketing of City Hall by thr:e young dog enthusiasts. Aside from the fact that I doubt that and cards occupied many of our the 'ordinance will ever be evenings.

I am sure that most gardeners would clap their hands in glee' over the prospect 'of dog-free gardens. Personally I would look forward to the day when I could cut 'my grass without having to sidestep ',an!;l sweep'up dog leav" ings at ,every other step.

Committee Names New Members

Justice for Minorities

WASHINGTON (NC) - Four new members have been named to the United States Catholic Conference's committee on social development, the USCC Social Development Department announced.

Appointed to terms of three years each were: Sister M. Celine Vasquez of Los Angeles, of the Sisters - of Social Service, who' has worked widely with neighborhood settlement projects and

For the theme of the fifth annual celebration of peace, for 1972, Pope Paul VI chose an Isaian formula: "If you' want peace, work for justice." Working for justice is Christians' work, but it is new ground for many people of the Church. The Campaign, for Human Develop- bout with worldwide poverty. ment, initiated by the Ameri- The culture of poverty in the S. is only' a' scale model of .can Bishops in 1969, provides U. the global problem. Out 'there an excellent ground breaker. Two features make' it so.

By JAMES R. JENNINGS

The first is the decision by the American hJerarchy to work' for justice by causing social change. The Campaign is not a palliative; there is no place in it for band-a'ids, handouts, or collection dr,ives for discarded clothing. It is not involved in acts of charity; other Church agenoies aptly administer, the emergency relief programs.

The resolution passed by the bishops in 1969, which led to the Campaign, stated: "l1here is an eV'ident- need for funds designated to be used for organized groups of white and minority poor to develop economic strength and political power' in their own commun'ities." A neW source of private funding was necessary becaus~ these powerless, groups do not have access to government and foundation money~ In pursuing justice, the Campaign acts as a catalyst for presently dependent persons to collectivize their energies and .thereby become decision-makers in their own affairs.

Middle Class Aid Needed l1he second notable feature of the Campaign is that its success is dependent upon its ability to educate those persons witlh power concerning the social injustices which oppr.E;)ss groups, of powerless people in, America.

Because financial support for ,the program is dependent upon the contributions of white, middle class, suburban Catholics, it must bring these, persons into an empathetic relationship with groups whicp are powerless and in need of resources.

It is in this dyoamic-affluent American Catholics relating to powerless Americans and called to respond in justice to their needs-that the Campaign has a valuable potential for involving Americans in workiJlg for justice. < The Oampaign seeks to liberate the one fifth of the American.. people who are trapped. in what· the Holy. Father calls l'the hellish oircle of poverty." If we succeed in this experiment in the United States, however, it will

in what.is' sometimes called the Th,ird World the poor number not thousands, but millions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

'It is because of the remarkable similarity between the U. S. poor and the poor of the Third World that the Campaign can ultimately have an international impact.

For t:!he most .part, due to a compHcated array of factors-historical, climatic", political, ' social, economic ....:... the people of the Third World ,have not made a significant entry into the modern era. An es'sential ingredient for them to make the leap is a large influx of capital into their economies. It is precisely here that the rich nations of. the northern half of· the globe, especiaHy the United 'States, can make a contribution.

The parallel in the United States is obvious. Within our nation, there are sectors of underdeveloped "nations"-AfroAmericans, Appalachians, Ameroican Indians, Mexican-Americans.

Again for a number of reasons, they have been denied the benefits of Ameriean ,affluence. If they are to enter the mainstream of American affluence, they will need large quantities of finan.oial assistance from rich, white U. S. citizens. ,Poor Won't Wait As tensions mount over domestoic problems, simplistic answers to global misery are sometimes heard: "Let the poor of the world 'wait. We've got to solve our domestic problems first." Only a strange, myopic Vlision of this small planet would suggest that the poor "out there" will wait. . l1he dialectical tensions are always present: riches and selfdetermination ~s. po\terty. and alienation: -The desire to control their own 'community's deveiopment' is', not uniquely Black American; 'it is' also' Latin ~nd Asian. U. S. 'black nationals, in' ,their pursuit of justice demand repal'ations, as do Chileans s~eking to nationalize their il\dustries. Attempts by minority groups in the United States to achieve 'self-determination by' casting of~ white domination are not too dissimilar 'from Vietnamese efforts for more than 25 • years to' overcome the domina.. tion of France, J'apan and, most recently, the United States. '. .Americans face a choice be'tween two options. The closed . option ..requires armed forces to '

support law and, order and stability-local police and malitia only be the first round in the 'on the urban scene; troops and armaments on the international Senate Suggestion' level. The other option, the open OCEANSIDE (NC) ,-- The San one, requires that we have the Diego diocesan priests' senate courage to promote indigenous unanimously recommended that community development, here a Mexican-American be named and there, and that we deto replace departing Auxiliary emphasize our militia-orientation Bishop John R.

Urges Education Voucher Plan INDIANAPOLIS (NC)-If parents could freely choose tneir chHdren's schools, inferior schools would go out of business, an Indiana educator and state legislator said here.

Robart L. Jones of. Butler University, an Indiana state representative, said in a radio interview that' a voucher plan in which the state would reimburse parents for educational expenses would introduce, competition between schools. He said he was confident that the Jndiana legislature would'pass such a voucher ;>lan.

He explained that the plan would introduce the free enterprise concept into education, which, ,he added, is ,"a place it' , has never been 'before."

"What we are saying," he declared, "is that there are some schools that are good and some that are bad, and in the private market place the latter schools would go out of existence because 'customer complaints sim.. ply wouldn't put up with them."

LIKE A TWO-SIDED MIRROR An anniversary is like a two-sided mirror. In one side we see the past; in the other side the future; and in both, a reflection of' ourselves. This year-1972-we are happy to be celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. As we begin this anniversary year, we invite you to look with us to the past with gratitude, while always looking to the future with renewed hope and dedication.

Looking into our "two-sided mirror" we,can see as far back as 1822 to the traditionally Christian world of Europe, then emerging from 25 years of war and revolution. We see the 19th century mission-Church struggling in the new, and often hostile, lands of Asia, Africa, and in the new world of America.

Into this pictur~,) came a young woman, named Pauline Jaricot, living and working among the poor working classes of Lyon, France. Pauline was deeply concerned with the plight of the Church's missionaries, whose service to the world, she realized, was so viUl~ ~d so needful of help.

Moved by her own strong faith, Pauline gathered a group of ten people toget:her who, in turn would each seek out tien people. Each "member" pledged to pray daily and sacrifice one franc a week for the poorest missionaries of the world. She called her organization the "Association for the Propagation of the Faith."

We can see through the years that followed, that Pauline's 'Association rapidly spread throughout France and into all of Europe. We can see the Mission-Church taking on new life among the most underdeveloped peoples; we can see the Faith planted and nurtured in the newly settled territories of America, thanks to' the support--generatlon after generation~f members of this Association.

We can see Pauline's dream come true 50 years ago; when in 1922, Pope Pius XI made Pauline's Association his own by raising it to the Pontifcial Soci~ty for the Propagation of the Faith, making it the instrument for the universal Church's Missionary activity.

Through the years, then, to the present day, we have seen the Church, the missions, and the needs of the world's poor change and grow. We have seen the Catholic' Laity become rightfully involved in the life and work of God's People, the Church, and we have seen the members of the Society each year giving witness to their Faith in meeting the urgent needs of their own times.

In the future side of our mirror we see millions of people suffering ... we see the Third World of today. We also see more missionaries than' ever before, serving in every corner of our world--depending more than ever before, on the love and support of their fellow Christians. .

We hope YOU are present this year in our "anniversary mirror," and will make each month a celebration of your faith' and love for God • • • and others'. • . for your Church.

Please begin this month by clipping the coupon below and sending your generous "anniversary gift" for your Church's ,. missions today.

Fr. Greeley's 'Jesus Myth' Prompts Thought, Action

tHE ANCHORThurs., Jan. 6, 1972

Forgiveness

I don't think there is an Andrew Greeley cookbook -yet. It will probably come. For this Chicago priest, who is also' a social scientist, has written on a daunting range of subjects. His latest book is The Jesus Myth (Double, day, 277 Park Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. $5.95), and did not enunciate specif.ic reguit is one of his better efforts. lations, and is riot properly When he speaks of "the thought of as an ethical teacher.

titious. He is using "myth" in the special sense of a symbolic story which demonstrates "the inner meaning of the universe and of human life." In another place, he says that by "myth" he means "an event that represents a greater event."

His book is offered as a set of reflections on "the religious symbolism of Jesus." He does not represent himself as a Scripture scholar, nor does he .claim any originality for the ideas which he sets out. , Rather, he has done a considerable amount of reading in the field of Scriptural' scholarship, 'and his book is studded with borrowings and direct quotations from other .books.

Religion is a basic meaning system, providing an answer to the fundamental and final questions concerning human existence. Such a set of basic meanings is found in Jesus, one that is both timeless and ever timely.

And this, Father Greeley, maintains, stands forth more strikingly when one prescinds from the theological problems and concerns of primitive 'Christianity.

Elements of Message Jesus is unique. He was linked to no cultural epoch. He rejected all the religious categories of his time. He avoided all titles. In his simple independence and absolute integr,ity, he was a threat to everybody. His message was uncomplicated and incisive.

Its elements, according to Father Greeley were these: (1) that the kingdom of God is at hand, hence men must change their way of life; (2) that the day of salvation has begun; (3) that the great sign of these is God's loving mercy; (4) that the kingdom will triumph, come what may; (5) that the Good News must impel us to rejoice.

In expanding on these propositions, Father Greeley attempts to show their pertinence to the crucial questions of human life in every age. Their principal disclosure, immeasurably reassuring, is in their answer to men's puz-' zlement ,as to whether reality is essentially gracious or malign. In Jesus, it is shown to be marvelously gracious. ,Amen, Abba What does Jesus demand in ,response? A complete conversion, a total transformation. He '..I ....

Rather, he called for a radical choice, which would 'change one's whole viewpoint and mode of living.

If we were sure of only two words uttered by Jesus, amen and abba, we would have the essence of his message, says Father Greeley. "For the word amen indicates he was one who preached on his own authority, and the word abba indicates that he was one who claimed the most intimate of connections with God, his Father."

The term abba, applied to God the Father, is one of startling familiarity. Not only does Jesus use it, but he encourages his followers to do so, thus acknowledging a relationship of love which is proof against despair and productive of inexhaustible joy.

Extension of Service

When a_man accepts that re'lationship and acts in the light of it, his life will exemplify all the qualities which are proposed in the sermon on the Mount, "a qualitatively new and different attJitude." , The man so changed will give himself to service: first, service of God; secondly the ser:vice of spreac!ing the Good News of God's love. "'J1he extension of :this service to include a vast multitude of service activities to op.e's fellowman is certainly not invalid," Father Greeley declares~ But he insists tJhat路 activities of that sort cannot substitute for what is primary, and cannot be truly Christian if they' are given precedence.

In th~s connection, he is critical of those whom he sees as making such a mistake: for example, the people 'who say that Jesus was a political revolutionary, hence that advocacy of poUtical revolution is an authentic way of proclaiming the Gospel.

Key Challenge <)

"What they are speaking of," he says severly, "is a Jesus created out of their own fantasy to help them evade the challenge of the New Testament ... They may be admirable and virtuous human beings. They are not disciples of Jesus ... For a Christian, personality growth and social reform are a consequence of the fundamental commitment to the Good News of the kingdom."

He asks, "Are we prepared to believe that God intervened in history in the person of Jesus?"

And are we prepared to believe ,that in the death and resurrection of Jesus "the kingdom was vindicated ... and will be fulfilled for all of us?" This is the key . challenge.

Father Greeley urges us to stop fussing and fuming about imperfections in the Church, and to see her, for all the faults of her members of whatever degree, as "the only institution in the world' that even claims to be continuing the proclamation of

Enthusiastic Excess This book has its faui>ts. It is repetitious. Often it is more emphatic, even vehement, than lucid. It tends to enthusiastic excess. It has some dreadful ineptitudes and infelicities of style.

In spots, it seems to be hastily, carelessly written.

Scholars will undoubtedly find in it defects which elude the rude reviewer. Nonetheless, it stirs one up and prompts one to take thought and action.

The author pronounces it a "dialogue in two directions." "On the 'one hand," he says, "I am speaking to those who ... turn away from the very fundamental simple message of Good News that Jesus proclaimed, to concern themselves with theological detalils, organizational structures, or historical verifications.

"On the' other hand, I am engaged with, or perhaps against, those who attempt to reduce the Gospel to a program for radical political action." Let both groups, and all others, take note -and take aim.

to a brief statement llpproved by the Catholic bishops of the United States at their Fall meeting here.

Prepar~d by the Department of Social Development, U. S. Catholic ,Conference, the statement said that the bishops 'hope to p'roduce'路a document later "as the basis for instructions, liturgical expression and action, in the whole question of applying moral principles to the environment."

The "disregard of a healthful environment" in the United States "has now reached the point where it not only should but must be halted," the statement said.

But it warned that some suggested. solutions "can produce difficulties greater than those sought to be removed."

Continued from Page Sixteen against me, and I have to forgive him? Seven times?' 'No, not seven times,' answered Jesus, 'but seventy times seven' " (Matt.

18, 21f.).

Men would believe in forgiveness only if they could experience forgiveness. God's forgive~ ness could not be preached except by people who were willing to forgive as Christ had forgiven.

Only men who experienced forgiveness could believe inforgiveness, This is true even. of ourselves.

Christ's Teachings To help us remember this, -Jesus taught us to pray every day: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us" (Matt. 6, 12). He even taught us: "If you forgive others the wrongs they have" done you, your father in heaven will forgive you. But if you do .. not forgive others, then your father in heaven will not forgive you the wrongs you have done" (Matt. 6, 14): Sign to World' In the story of the two servants, he let the master say "I forgave you the whole amount . you owed me. You should have had mercy on your fellowservant, just as I had mercy on you" (Matt. 18, 34f.). And when the master punished the unforgiving servant, J~sus commented: "That is how' my Father in heaven will treat you if you do not forgive every one of you his brother from his heart" (Matt.

18, '35). . , "If you forgive men's sins, then they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, then they are not forgiven" (John 20, 23).

"What you keep bound on eartl~ wHi be kept bound in heaven.

What you set free on earth will be set free in heaven. Wherever two or three of you on earth agree about anythng you pray for, it willi be done for you by, my Father in heaven" (Matt. 18, l8f.).

But if the two or th.ree, the community of believers, do agree to forgive, the world will know that God forgives. For "where two or three are gathered togeth- ' er in my name, I am there in their midst" (~att. 18, 20).

The community of believers, the Church, has practiced for> giveness in Christ's name over many centuries and in many different ways, but always as a sign to the. world which can open men's hearts to God's forgiving love.

Freedom Liberty, too, must ,:be limited in order to be possessed.
