O'Neill,' Superintendent of Schools, and Rev. Ronald A. Tosti, Director of Religious Education. For the first time in New England the teacher,s in Catholic schools and the teacbers in CCD parish programs in a Diocese have joined hands and established a Catholic Education Convention.

For the past 16 years the personnel of our parochial schools have attended sessions that dealt with the varied aspects of the curriculum. St. Anne's School, Fall River, Bishop Stang High School, North Dartmouth and Bi'shop Feehan High School in Attleboro have hosted these conventions.

CCD personnel have planned and attended annual regional' conventions scheduled throughout New England. The regional meetings will continue but it is hoped that the Catholic Education Convention will provide an Turn to Page Seventeen

"Is the Church in trouble?

Yes. Is it on the defensive? No. The Church has always been in trouble." _ He cited early persecutions and suppressions, observed that the Church "is changing yet ever changeless," and gave growth figures for the United States: from seven million Catholios in 1920 to 48 million in 1970, from 21,000 priests then to 58,000 now.

He admitted a drop of about a thousand priests from 1970 to 1971, saying that the loss of even one person from the Church is a tragedy, but he insisted that "the recorded agony and death of the Church is a little premature."

Mission Welfare TV Program Praised During the past several weeks "The Untold Story," a film depicting the work of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association -in the Middle East played on some 130 television stations throughout the United States., The response to the program has been most heartening according to a C.N.E.W.A. spokesman.

"Our objective was to. make a bold, national information and fund, raising effort on behalf of the orphan children. If we are to provide the help that is so desperately needed by thechildren, if we are to move ahead in our efforts to aid the lame and the illiterate, the sick, and the homeless, then' more peoJile need a fuller understanding of wha't we're doing and what remains to be done" the spokesman went on to say.

Because of technical difficullies many people did not get the full name and address of where to respond to the program. For those who missed it and would like to send an inquiry or a contribution the correct address is the Catholic Near East Welfare Association; Box 700, Rosemount, Minn. 55068.

Governor Approves Aid to Colleges

COCHIN (NC)-Special servo ices were held Jan. 2 in Christian churches throughout Kerala state' to mark the start of year-long celebrations of the 1,900th an'niversary of the death of St. Thomas, India's first apostle.

Christians were asked to make a "spiritu~l renewal" of both individuals and families the hallmark of the centenary celebra'tions.

The celebrations were to, have been inaugurated at Madras; where the Apostle suffered martyrdom in 72 A.D., with a threeday program of pilgrimage to his tomb and' other observances.

But in the aftermath of the IndiaPakistan war, the inaugural fes· tivities were cancelled by Arch, bish9P R. Arulappa of Madras. Mylapore. . So~e observers said that in view of the India-Pakistan ceasefire; there is a good chance Arch- ,bishop Aralappa may agree to resume the celebrations at Madras.

Bolivian Painter Faces Deportation LA PAZ (NC)-Bolivian sur· realist painter Benjamin Mendoza Amor, who in 1970 at· rempted to kill Pope Paul VI in Manila, may be released in the ,custody of Bolivian authorities.

Bolivia's foreign minister, Mario R. Gutierrez, said on his return from a tour of the Orient ,that authorities in, the Philippines, where Mendoza is in jail, approached him on the subject, of deporting the painter to Bo· livia.

"I told them we will take him," Gutierrez told a press confer· ence. He added that authorities in Manila told him that they had already queried. the apostolic nuncio there, Archbishop 'Car· mine Rocco, who reportedly did not oppose sending the Pope's would-be assassin ,to his native land.

Mendoza attempted to knife Pope Paul Nov. 27, 1970, as the Pontitf arrived at the Manila airport to attend.an Asian bisho'ps conference. The painter was considered then by Philippine doctors and friends in Bolivia to be mentally iII. A court, however, found him sane and sentenced him· to ,two to four years in jail. t!)"Z".-.j. ·:".--'"i~.: _"":1\."::...'-.-:_"

ATTLEBORO AREA REPRESENTATIVES: Receiving the medal in recognition of distinguished service to the Church, were Miss Yvonne Monast, So. Attleboro; Joseph Castro, Seekonk; John Lynch, No. Attleboro; Mrs. Virginia Charette, Attleboro; Mrs. Corrine Conroy, Mansfield.

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has named four Vatican officials to the rank of archbishop, including American Holy Cross Father Edward Heston, head of the Pontifical Commission on Social Communications.

The 54·year-old priest, who has spent more than 30 years in Rome in a variety of jobs for his religious order and with Vatican administrative agencies, was named Titular Archbishop of Numidia.

The title is given to him in his capacity as head of the communications commission, which he took over last Summer ago from another American, Archbishop Martin J. O'Connor.

Father Heston, who is from South Bend, Ind., became weIl known among journalists in Rome during the Vatican Council, during which he served as Engllish·language press officer for the last three sessions. He was also press officer during the first Synod of Bishops in 1967.

'Big- Strike Curiously Christian Th'ing NEW YORK (NC) - Leaders on both sides of the recent school strike in the New York archdiocese agree that the month·long strike was a flop as a work stoppage and on salary issues.

But It may have scored some long.:fange related gains for both labor and management, as unionization dramatically became a fact of Catholic educational life in the big city, financiaIly troubled schools of the 10·county archdiocese, they said.

The walk-out -'which ended Dec. 21 with the teachers voting' 214 to 109 in favor ofa salary offer identical with one offered them' Nov. 22-was a curiously Christian affair. You might even call it tame.

It was an admixture of union negotiators, teachers in their first strike, monsignors sympatheti~ to their plight but unable to provide the cash and sympa· thetic bystanders from other unions who contributed to a strike fund of. $8,000 for emergency cases.

Lacking the gutsy histrionics of Albert Shanker's public school teachers versus the City of New York, picketers were offered coffee and warm places to sit down by their own principals.

Some strikers even attended school Christmas parties.

$6,800 (up $200) increments up the scale to a top minimum of $9,800. High school teachers were given a $400 raise, to start at $7,600 and range up to $13,600. Non-de'greed elementary teachers with less than 10 years' experience were given a $600 pay boost.

On the other hand, Ryan said, Church officials did seek to provide improvements in major medical, life insurance, pension

benefits and tenure require· ments.

"I suppose we're above other unions in all of the benefits," Ryan said of other diocesan employee organizations. "Just the idea of having meaningful tenure is something in itself.

The union's membership is now about 1,400 teachers from a total teaching force in the archdiocese of 7,800. Slightly more than half are laymen.

Episcopal Visitation Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, will pay a pastoral visit to MadonnaManor in No. Attleboro on Sunday, January 16.

After celebrating Mass for the guests of the home at 11 o'clock in the mornirig, the Bishop will visit with the elderly re~idents.

After the vote was taken, some picketers rushed back to their cIa!!srooms the next morn. ing, even though it was the last day of school before the Christmas break.

According to Barry F. Ryan, president of the Federation of Catholic Teachers, the fledgling American Federation of Teach· ers local which mustered a·force of 850 teachers to demonstrate against 329 elementary and secondary sohools, the strikes big·' gest setback was a failure to at· tain parity of pay for teachers at both levels.

In the final settlement, the starting pay for degreed elemen· tary teachers was boosted to

"~:', THE ANCHOR-pi()cese of f.all R,iver.--:Thu'r~, Jan. 13; 1972

China Trip Quote from the People's Repl,lblic of China The Peiping Review: "The result of a nuclear war will certainly not be the annihilation of mankind. On the debris of dead imperialism the'victorious people would create very swiftly a civilization thousands of times higher than the capitalist system and a truly 'beautiful future for themselves." '__ -This sinister remark was written a dozen years ago when both Americans and Russians were congratulating themselves on the fact that no' one would win in a nuclear war and only a mad man would deliberately provoke such a catastrophe. And to read such a comment from a nation that cpuld lose the combined populatioI!.s of both the United 'States and Russia and still,remain one of the world's most populous countries was frightening indeed.

This was during China's active revolution period, a time 'when that nation kept insisting that it was dedicated not to the inevitable evolution of revolution but to the active creatfon of ,revolution.

Much 'has happened in the last decade to change'the scene; The cultural revolution and Red Guard activity and leadership power struggles in China have all contribubted to , moderating to a considerable degree the active revolution concept. And, now the President's forthcoming trip to China is opening still wider more avenues of approach to that vast nation so long "off limits" to the rest of the world.

China's presence in the United Nations has given that nation a strong voice in a world forum. It is a voice which has to be heard. (Although why the United Nations ousted Taiwan whose population of 14 million is larger than 100 member:. nations of the UN is hard to fathom.)

China has made another gesture just this past week when the name of,"Anti-ImperiaJist Hospital" in Peking was changed to "Capital HO'spitaI." Perhaps this is just a- minor point in the great panorama of world affairs. But it is just these small signs that give indications of changes in thinking and acting. ' At any rate, it, is to be hoped -that the President's -trip to: China will bring that nation into clos,er touch with ',the rest of the world family ,for the peace, and good of all " mankind.

',Pope Warns, VATICAN CITY {NC) - Pope Paul took the annual occasion of his New Year audience with'diplomats accredited to the Holy See to detl0unce the arms race by both big and small countl'ies' as the "most disconcerting phe: nomenon of our time."

"It is an epidemic phenomenon," the Pope said, '''no people now seem able to escape its contagion." Noting that every 'country, big or small, is now'engaged in stockpiling weapons, the Pope said: , "What is most disconcerting is that phenomenon 'is occuring at a time when men have become more aware of their own dignity and have a livelier sense 'of being members of the same human family, when individuals and peoples are more keenly aspiring to peace in' justice, and 'when among the younger generationfor many of whom the human family is already a.living reality -protests against the arms race l:::::I::l:m:,,::::'::m:'IlmI:MU)mmm::::::::mt:t:',f:mtJiUtJ)KI@I~1Mm:gl:gHfm:@:mlm;m:Il:@I\t@:rgill'dmlEKI$9are becoming ever more widespread."

In trying to isolate the prolifI eration of armaments, the Pope pointed to the need of "great and medium powers" to produce arms for their economic system "to avoid economic imbalance and mass unemployment."

Chicago / Priests' Senate Studies Clergy Concerns CHICAGO (NC) - Chicago's recently elected 108 priestsenators are contacting their constituents to determine priorities for dealing with issues facing the more than 2,000 priests in the nation's largest archdiocese.

The members of the new Chicago priests' senate will report ·their findings at their next meeting scheduled for Feb. 14;. . At that time, according to a 'senate. official, the group will tak~ the first steps toward lining up its work schedule..

The priest-senators were divided into 13 fact-gathering task forces at their first formll1 meeting here in mid-December, at which they elected officers and he~rd ,!\,ords of encouragement from Cardinal John Cody of Chicago.

Discussing concerns they might encounter, the task force members mentioned that the senate's role in contrast to the individual senator's role and his relation to the priestly ministry, should be defined clearly.

Some senators stressed the senate's role in assisting the poor' and in speaking out on social issues, while others cited the importance of maintaining close ties with their constituents, the 'hierarchy and the whole Church.

Grassroots Level Father Thomas J. Murphy, 39, associate director of the archdiocesan . Family Consultation Service, was elected to head the senate. He especially urged his . newly elected colleagues to seek out priestly concerns' at the grassroots level.

He is optimistic that the senate formed about six years after the Second Vatican Council sug· gested formation of such groups, "will still show leadership." '~Many eyes will be watching to see what happens to this senate," he said. "Together. I be· Iieve that we can make it work and seJ:'ve Chicago and have influence on other senates."

Father Murphy, an associate pastor serving in Cicero, said, ·"We have more senators than some dioceses have priests. Also, there is a tremendous representation of religious order pries~s in our senate."

About a third of the senators are religious clergy..

Father Murphy was ,a key figure in a year-long task of preparing for the senate's establishment. He served as secretary of a priests' senate design committee appointed by Cardinal Cody to draft the group's constitution, determine its structure ·and define representative districts.

The senate was formed as a consultative body "to give effective assistance to the bishop and his government to the diocese."

Among' the senate's features is broad representative membership. Father Murphy cited the inclusion of deacons, and he said the senators' ages range from one priesf ordained in 1916 to a seminarian who will be ordained in January. Forty-six senators are members of the liberaloriented Association of Chicago Priests. .

The senate will meet regularly at least six times a year, and will call a general meeting of all priests at least once a year.

TRENTON (NC) - Religious colleges may not receive state loans for the construction of facilities for 'religious education or worship, the New Jersey State Supreme Court ruled here.

The decision a),so forbids state loans to' any college that restricts admission "on racial or religious grounds" or requires "all students gaining admission to receive instruction in the tenets of a particular faith."

In effect, the decision e~tends to loans the legal restrictions ,formerly placed on outright grants by the state to private colleges and universities.

Leo Pfeffer, special counsel of the American Jewish. Congress and one of the attorneys in the case, hailed the decision as a "major victory for religious freedom and church-state separation."

A spokesman for Seton Hall University, the largest Catholic university in New Jersey, said that the ruling wiH have no practical effect on the institution's finances, since Seton Hall has a completely open enrollment pol· icy and does not require nonCatholics to study Catholic doctrine. ,He added he believes all Catholic colleges in New Jersey, except perhaps seminaries and religious order novitiates also have open admissions.

Loans may still be obtained from the state by Seton Hall for buildings which are not used for worship or for the teaching of religion, he said, though the ruling might effectively prevent the placing of a chapel in such a building.

CmuSTIAN COMMUNITY: "Bishop Feehan High School: A Christian Community of Learning" was the theme of a two-day workshop conducted last week at the Attleboro school by Rev. Salvatore Trozzo,

S.M. of the Bergamo Center for Christian Renewal, Dayton, O. Left, Father Trozzo conducts a small group meeting. Center, Sister M. Theresa, R.S.M., Feehan principal, standing, joins round table participants.

Christian Community of Learning Theme of Two-Day Work$hop BY MARION UNSWORTH CURRAN

Educators throughout the country are currently discussing the differences between Catholic and public education, and even if such differences exist but in Attleboro Bishop Feehan High School administration and faculty are doing something about it.

To determine their goals as Catholic educators and the means to at~ain those goals specifically, a two-day workshop entitled "Bishop Feehan High School: A Christian Community of Learning" was held last Wednesday and Thursday at the school.

"We 'are concerning ourselves with the Christian aspect, what does make a Catholic school different," explained Sister Therese, R.S.M., principal. "It can not' be just one religious course but a Chritian atmosphere which pervades the school."

The workshop was directed

by Rev. Sal Trozzo, S.M., director of national and regional programs at Bergamo ,Center for Christian Renewal in Dayton, Ohio. As director, Father Trozzo organizes workshops, retreats and encounters for schools, business and management groups nnd government units at .the Center and throughout the country.

Father Trozzo, who is chairman of National Marianist Religious Education Training, taught for 17 years in high schools and colleges, spent two years with the State of Illinois Education Department directing a center for teacher training, and the past year at the Dayton Center.

"Here at Feehan we are holding a process workshop," said Father Trozzo, "It's not a lot of lectures but the participants themselves work out their con-

elusions in a developmental process." _ "For instance, after first viewing a videa:tape on Catholic schools, "From Whence to Where" by Brother Anthony Ipsoro, S.M. of the School of Education at Notre Dame, followed by an issue raising session relat" ing the content of the tape- to Feehan, they' were given two key questions," Father explained.

"The 'questions w~re 'What are my purposes for being at Feehan?' and 'What do I see as the purpose of Feehan High School?" Father Trozzo continued.

In the developmental scheme, one person first presents his answers to another individual, who in turn presents them to a group of eight.. The comments of each person in that group are then discussed until a consensus is reached, both of similarities and differences in opinions.

At that point, two of the groups of eight join in discussion until a further consensus is determined, at which time reports of all the larger groups are ex'Plained and discussed among the entire assemblage.

Answers arrived at by each of the three large groups containedmany strong similiarities.

Each expressed a need to be hap'py 'at what they were doinga sense of fulfillment. Each also insisted on the necessity of strong personal involvement and concern for the studen~, of Christian values particularly through personal example, and of greater and deeper communication between admini'stration, faculty and students.

Father Trozzo then compared the results of the day's discussion with the "general philosophy of the school drawn up by the faculty last year. He pointed out that what they had arrived at was not different but much more dynamically stated.

Grownups Tattle Too-But They Call It Gossiping I

Every mother thrills to the first words of her baby.

And many mothers groan to the second words becaus(~ chances are they fall into-the <;ategory of tattling. The urge to tattle is as old and as inevitable' as is. the urge to talk. It becomes terribly frustrating to parents be- another child or to hear the . cause we know a certain teacher scold another child.

By DOLORES (

CURRAN

We can educate (i.e., thr~aten) our children out of tattling only to wail later, "Why didn't you tell us he was cutting his hair?"

We know there's a thin line betw~en helpful tattling and gleeful tattling. It's the latter I want to talk about here. .

Teachers fight the tattling problem thirty-fold. "Miss' Hanson, Jack took the ball and his side of the room had it yesterday .. ,It "-I didn't take her dumb ole ball. I just picked it up for her when it rolled~" "-he didn't either, Miss Hanson: He--" "-Miss Hanson, Miss Hanson, aren't you listeinng to me? Betty told Anne that Christy took Helene's spelling list and ..."

And on and on it goes. The new teacher iistens. The experienced teacher sifts. When the tattle, is for real, there's a sincere urgency in the child's voice.

The rest of the time, the teacher . turns 6ff - the channel and watches the moving mouth, nodding in time to the cadence so that the- child feels impor:tant.

Christians Too We· feel better discussing people who spend too much money because we're telling ourselves we don't spend too much. We love discussing cracked marriages because they make ours seem better. And there's no pleasure like that of telling how badly other people rear their children. We, the perfect parents, find it easy to analyze other parents' mistakes. (A fact which made someone once quip, "Too bad God didn't .give us our neighbor's children because they're the only ones we know , how to raise.")

And, finally, Christianity. We love to discuss other people's _shortcomings - how they don't '.go -to Mass or confession, how they use or' don't use contracep- . tives, how they drink or don't ',drink, how they gamble or' don't gamble, how tliey picket or war "':"ail depending on wha~ we ourselves -do. Alexander Pope said it back in the 1700's, "I never knew. any man in my life who could not bear another's misfortune perfectly like a Christian."

And Christians. gleeful over ,an- .' other Christian's failings' are about as common as tattlers.

Tattlers, then, are. not so frustrating when we consider them sort of' novice gossipers.

When they report deliciously that Jamie failed his spelling test, we can rest assured they passed. And we know they are just getting in practice for later years when they'll discuss deliciously that Jamie'is an apostate. We'll know..then they still have the faith.

Realizes Cycies of'. Nature Balance Action, Tranquility ,

By Joseph and Ma,rilyn' Roderick I have always been rather taken with the cyclic nature' of events which, without our planning them, force us into: periods of activity followed by quiet periods. For example, the time from Thanksgiving to Christmas is one of hustle: and bustle, with people at tI:te breaking point of activ- out in my mind as delights of ity. There are gifts to buy, the holiday season,' recipes to be, stored up and used during the houses to be put in order, months ahead when meals ca'n

endless visits to be made, over· eating and over-drinking, etc.

To maintain the Christmas pace for any length of time would -be thoroughly exhausting.

Bu.t it' is in the nature of ' the cycle; that the weather begins to ,get bad after the New Year and people tend to stay close to the hearth; snow confines us, the cold keeps us inside and the whole tenor of life changes to one of moderation __ and quies,cence, not because we will it cOllsciously, ''but more because itha'ppens to us.

There is a spell immediately following the holidays when even the thought of food becom'es too' much, but appetite, does return and soon we find ourselves tired of the same humdrum type of meal.

Says' Critic's Complaints About Synod Misleading

Baptize

The Christian Century is a first-rate publication from .almost every point of view. Its professional standards are consistently very high, not the least in its treatment of even .the most controversial Roman Catholic issues. Living up to its own self-definition By the same token, I question as an "ecumenical" weekly, whether it was really necessary it go'es to considerable for Mr. Triggs to say (in an eflengths to cover Catholic as fort to explain why allegedly well as Protestant developments and to do so objectively and irenica.Jly as is humanly possible.

Now and again, however, the

By MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS

Century's coverage' of Catholic news tends to be-at least from this writer's point of view - a little tpo aggressive and, if I may be permitted to say' so with the best of good 'will, a little too patronizing or· supercilious in tone. I thought I detected some of this, for example, in its Dec. 22 round-up article by William Triggs . on the recent Roman synOd. . Mr. Triggs, who covered' the synod as a correspondent for the Century, takes the view that, overall, it was a complete failure - a failure "in courage. and, vision." As I have already indi-' cated in' an 'earlier release of this column, I' am not disposed to !argue .with those who' feet'this way about the synod. Although their unrelieved pessimism and the· absolute, not t9 say dogmatic, certainty with which they hold to it strike me as being, shall w.e say, a bit extreme, I really don't see any point in getting all upset about the matter. . . Inaccurate, Misleading My criticism of Mr. Triggs' article is not related, then, to his overall assessment of the synod as a total failure. If that's what he thinks about the synod, he obviously has a right to say so, and, from this writer's point of .view, that's the end of the matter-period.

On the other hand, I must say, as irenically as possible, that I am not altogether happy about the tone of Mr. Triggs' article.

Moreover I think the record will show that some of his specific complaints about the synod are inaccurate· or, at best, misleading.

As suggested above, I found Mr. Triggs~ article a bit too aggressive and somewhat patronizing, not to say sarcastic in in tone. The last paragraph in the article is a case in point: "The worst possible reaction to this synod would be indifference.

Rather than that, one would hope even for rebellion."

Calling upon Catholics, through the medium of a magazine like The Chflistian CEmtpry, to "rebel" against the synod may be in good form or in good taste, ecumenically speaking, but I rather doubt it-unless ecumenism has developed much further and much faster than I thought it had.

"only a few Latin Amerioans spoke out" in the liynod) that "reliable sources revealed that the Vatican had put pressure on the hierarchies in those countries to name as their delegates those not giv'en to "troubleshooting."

Gossip'Mongering FI1ankly I think the editors of The Century should have bluepenciled thi,s little exercise in . ecumenical gossip mongering. I -don't happen to believe a word of it, but that's beside the point.

The point is that the editors of The Century-given the anonymity of Mr. Triggs' so-called reliahle sources-had absolutely no way' of knowing whether it was accurate or not. Accordingly I don't think they should have gone along with the game. Moreover I think they should have double checked to make sure that, in point of fact, only a few' Latin .Amenican bishops spoke out at the synod.

As one who attended every session of the synod, I deny the accuracy of this statementunless Mr. Triggs has one 'definition of ·the word "few" for Latin America and another defin'ition for Europe, Asia, Africa and North Amenica. ~, Sarcastic, Mushy Thifldly. I must confess that I bristled momentarily when I found Mr. Triggs saying that "the growing conviction among Catholics that the ChuflCh should riot compromise with the powers that be but should stand with Christ at the side of the poor and the oppressed was judged irrelevant by the Synod."

I am not at all .sure that I know what all this ferocious rhetoric adds up to, but frankly I don't like it at all. In brief, I find it rather insultingly sarcastic ,in to~e, and, forgive me for saying so, 'rather mushy in content.

The synod's discussion on world justice and its final document on this subject may not have been to Mr. Triggs' liking.

If so, he should have told his readers why instead of impugning the integrity of the synod Fathers with a supercilious and, from my particular poin~ of view', rather meaningless rhetorical jab.

Convenient Strawman I would have to say the same thing, in all honesty, about Mr. Triggs' highly polemical criticism of the synod as being only a consultative and not a deliberative assembly. I happen to share his opinion that the synod Should become a deliberative body. I hasten to add, however, that the mean-spirited way in which he develops his argument in this regard is highy regrettable.

"If the church,", he says, "is primarily a community, dialogue and communication are as nec-

Diocesan Education Convention Continued from Page One opportunity for some teachers who have not attended other meetings to be able to hear a few outstanding speakers .at our diocesan conference.

As more and more parochial schools close, the expansion of CCD programs in the parishes becomes of vital concern to all Catholics who seek an assurance of the continuation of the doc~ trines of our Faith. ' The, Convention will be held this year at Bishop Feehan High School on Friday, May 5, and Saturday, May 6. The new dates will be so planned that Friday will be a day devoted to topics

of school curriculum and Saturday will offer programs in religion, values and attitudes. .This joint venture has been entered into with a growing realization of the importance of utilizing all of our available resources to the utmost capacities.

During the past year the staff members of the Catholic School Office and the Diocesan Office of Religious Education have been meeting regularly and jointly planning programs for teachers.

It is hoped that this .diocesan effort will meet with outstanding success for it is on. the daily person-to-person level that the real mission of continuing Christian Development is heard.

essary as daily bread. But if the church is primarily a hierarchical body (as it is for Vatican circles) it does not need dialogue or communication, cannot even tolerfate them, for it possesses the truth and it communicates the truth. In such a chuflCh a synod of bishops is totally' superfluous."

My rea'ction to this statemeJ;lt is to point out that the hand and the typewriter are obviously 'quicker than the eye. This is just another way of saying that Mr. Triggs has constructed for himself a convenient little strawman (a monolithic, Vaticancontrolled hderarchical church), has then created the impression that this is, in point of fact, the only kind of church that Pope Paul VI believes in or ~s willing to tolerate, and has f,inaUy concluded with irresistible logic that "in such a chuflCh a synod of bishops is totally superfluous."

Q.E.D. Grinds His Own Axe Surely there must be - there simply has to be-a more balanced and more ecumenical way of discussing the pros and cons of the synod of bishops as it is 'presently constituted. This problem,. incidentally, is considerably more complicated than Mr. Triggs ma'kes it out to be. For example, I happen to know one prominent Catholic ecumenist ,who believes (pace Mr. Triggs) that the synod will prove to be more' effective in the long fun if it retains its present consultative character and doesn't become a deliberative body.

In falirness to Mr. Triggs let me point out in conclusion that I fully agree with some of his' specific complaints about the 1971 synod. My only regret is that he gave vent to these com-

plaints in such an unfriendly manner as to suggest that, whether wittingly or otherwise, he was aggressively and very polemically grinding hds own theological axe. In dO'ing so, he has not in my jUdgement, appreciably advanced the cause of ecumenism. .

Maybe I am being old fashioned about this matter, but I had always thought that there was general agreement in ecumenical circles that each party to the dialogue should give the other party the benefit of every reasonahle doubt. It is my impression that Mr. Triggs has done the very opposite. That is to say, he doesn't give the synod the benefit of a single doubt. He simply gives it the back of his hand.

It seeks to preserve and spread this faith, this common treasure' under both the best and,the poorest of circumstances, through the parents Of in spite of them.

Our Canadian neighbors in the Montreal aflChdiocese have tried to resolve in practice those earlier questions I posed. Their Pastoral Liturgical Service in an Aug. 13, 1971 domument, "The Baptism of Children Born of Non-Practicing Parents," includes this sensible and sens'ltive paragraph: "Baptism should not be refused to a child on the grounds that the parents no longer 'practise' although they still affirm their belief in God and in the Church. The fact that some parents ask that their child receive baptism proves, to some extent at least, that they have a minimum of faith in God and that they hold to retaining a link with the Church even though that faith is not apparent exteriorly and the' link with the Church seems weak. Why should we 'quench the smoking flax' and risk breaking that bond with the Church? On the contrary, this would provide an excellent occasion for each pastor to revive this wavering faith and to strengthen this link."

Diocese Supports Project Equality SPOKANE (NC)-Bishop Bernard J. Topel of Spokane has an· nounced that the diocese will participate ·in a nationwide interfaith effort aimed at obtaining equal employment opportunities for minority group members.

The effort, called Project Equality, was founded by the Chicago~based National Conference for Interracial Justice to use the moral and financial power of churches and private institutions to spur affirmative action by employers on behalf of minorities.

veloped by a curriculum committee concerned that first grad- , ers, usually unable to read at' the time of the first 'mar!c-ing period, really· don't know what sort of communication they're bringing home to 'their parents.

"In addition to the· children's own pictures," said 'Sister Barbara McCarthy"O.P., sup'ervisor for the Diocesan School Qepartment, "we suggest that teachers use some sort of sym1iols, su.ch as . seals or stars, to indicate what marks they are giving the child. Of course, comments for the parents will be written as usual."

Art work on the cards covers a wide range; said Sister Barbara. At St. Stanislaus School, in FaH River, for instance, children drew pictures' of' themselves on their cards. In some schools they make school scenes or religious drawings. ""' Parent Response The cards are not exactly new, pointed out Sister Barbara, having been introduced to the Fall River system last January, but they will be new to this year's crop of first graders, who do not receive cards during the first marking period of the school year.

The inside of the' card has been redesigned, too. Where first graders used to receive number grades for school sub. jects and letter grades for effort, conduct and homework,. things are 'now much more informal" with space provided for teacher comments for each' marking period. "Comments wiH be made in reference to your child's ability," the parent' is told. . -, .

Parents have a turn,. too. On the back of the card, in addition to the customary signature. they're asked to respond. to the school's evaluation of their child.

They're also asked to meet -=-personally with teachers at least twice yearly. ' By second grade th~ cards become a bit more formal. but they're stilI light years away' from the old A, B, C routine, with students marked as "outstanding," "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" on academic subjects and coded on attitudes on a .1 to 9 scale, .with various numbers pinpointing such problems as failure to do homework satisfactorily or inattentiveness during class. ' It may still be true that, as the the old Greek philosopher said, "Knowledge maketh' a bloody entrance," but at least the Diocesan School Department is making the beginnings of learning as pleasant as possible for its smallest scholars.

' Coach Gerry Cunniff's Feehan Shamrocks drew the toughest assignment last week and shocked observers with their inspired play. The Green and White from Attleboro faced Durfee and New Bedford in its fil"st two contests.

Emerging with a 1-1 mark against the powers of the league is no disgrace. In fact, with a little luck the Shamrocks could have been the only unbeaten team in the loop.

Barnstable at 2-0 and Dartmouth at 1-0 were the only Capeway Conference teams to complete the first week with perfect loop records. Dartmouth is not expected to remain in this elite group for very long. Barnstable, on the other hand, was thought to be headed for easy Conference title and possibly an unbeaten league record.

The Church policy is also that of presence, for "she is made for men and made up of men." The Pope saJid the Church "cannot but feel herself obliged to make her own contribution to the realization of peace in justice and justice in peace."

"The realization of peace in justice," the Pope went on, "demands-and attempts to attain this are already being carried, out with courageous and wise dnitiatives-progressive disarmament. For its pa~t, the Church, the people of God, cannot but enliven its commitment to educate man to have confidence in man; that is, to see others not as possible aggressors but as possible future collaborators, made capable of doing good for the building of a more human world."

Lastly, he said, the Church's policy is that of service. "The Church wishes to serve the com" munity of peoples by ded1icating herself above aB, as her essential and specific task, to educating consciences, for forming the hearts of men, who, when they, accept the proclamation of salvation, know that they are loved hy God, directed to Him as the 'center of theIr lives, and united in Him and for Him in love for all their brethren."

Pope Paul said, "It is in this sense, gentlemen, that we speak Qf the 'policy' of the Church; the Churoh's policy is nothing other than a keen sense, a deeply felt demand to live her commitment, her mandate, and her vocation to announce the Gospel and to serve others."

Panelists Stress Youth's Yearni"rig For, R,eligion NEW YORK (NC)-Two religious leaders and a newspaper editor, reviewing 1971 religious events on the CBS "Year in Religion" television 'show, said a "yearning for religious values" by young people keynoted religious news last year. They' said it would continue.

Msgr. George C. Higgins, director of the urban life division of the U. S. Catholic Conference, said, that one c,hallenge that youth has brought to the surface is whether religious forces in the future "will, have enough vigor to bring about peace in, the world."

Msgr.· Higgins appeared on the hour-long program with .Rabbi Joachim Prinz of the governing council of the World Jewish Congress, and Irwin D. Canham, editor-in<hief of the Christian Science Monitor.

'In the Marketplace' Msgr. Higgins said the most important words for the younger generation ever spoken by Pope Paul VI were "War never'again" at the United Nations several years ago.

He agreed with Rabbi Prinz that churches should be "in the 'marketplace" rather than engaged in "cathedral idolatry" but "having acknowledged our obligation to be 'in the mar~etplace', we in organized religion don't know what to do when we get there ... Religion does not have ,the answers to many of the RPst-industral problems."

Msgr. Higgins said he feels that the 1971 statement on conscientious objection by the American Catholic bishops was "very newsworthy" among Catholics because it was both "un, pected" and strong.

Chaplai'n$ QPPOSE! Premature Close Of California Menta I Hospital SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-Armed with three recent studies of mental health problems in Santa Clara County and a backlog of personal experience, the three chaplains of Agnews State , Hospital have decried the sched-, uled closing of the mental hospital June 30. , ' "We would lose our moral position in the community if we didn't say something about the terrible timing of the closing," Fl:ither Thomas Byrne, Jesuit chaplain at Agnews for seven years; told The ~onitor, San Francisco archdiocesan newspaper.

Neither Father Byrne nor his Agnews colleagues, Rabbi Henry I LevGmberg and United Church of Christ minister, the Rev. Charles R.. Carney, objected to the eventual closure of the hospital.

But, according to the statecounty platt for mental health services in ~anta Clara County, Agnews was not scheduled to • close until btid-1973. The chaplains feel the June 30 closing will be disastrously premature.

"We're speaking' as private citizens," Father Byrne said.

"But we wart to get it across to the authorities in, Sacramento

that they're up against the moral forces we represent."

"If former patients are not being treated well in the community, we must speak out for them," the Jesuit chaplain added.

"This isn't just a local issue" Father Byrne said. The process of dumping e:t-mental patients into unprepared' communities could go ,on throughout the state, he warned.

"We have many unanswered questions,", Rabbi Levenberg said. "Much more study is needed before Agnews is closed."He questioned the lack of communication between, the state

and the community and ,added that the board and care homes which take in _~imy eX-Piltients from Agnews are not licensed in any way.

The chaplains agreed there was little chance the community could adequately absorb the patients who will be dismissed from AgneWs June 30.

Mr. Carney said thatpatierits who do not need 24-hour care should be placed in the community. But he quickly added that ' Santa Clara board .and care facilities were not yet ready to do the job.

"m believe this area has a ; .~reatjuturepotentiai.•. and we intend to give· it all the help we'can':
