Holy Name Menl Bring Religion Into World

BONN (NC) - The Germall Bishop's annual Lenten Fund campaign has in the past five years brought in more than $54 million for social welfare proj­ ects in developing nations.

In announcing their sixth a&­ nual Misereor campaign, tbe Bishops said the eontributiom this year should be used to fUl"­ nish technical training for peo­ ple in underdeveloped natio. and to bolster agricultural pro­ ductivity.

The Bishops also asked that Catholic technicians, farmer., doctors, nurses, teachers and s0­ cial workers volunteer to woJ:k in developing nations.

PORTLAND (NC) - The job of the Holy Name Society and its members is to "put religion into the marketpla(~e of human living," the head 4)f the Dominican Fathers' Western Province said here in- Oregon.

Father Joseph M. Agius, 0.1-., of San Francisco summed up the Holy Name program this way :it a ceremony during the society's 1964 Vel'celli Medal was pr4!­ sented to Herbert Michelbrook of Portland.

Father Agius warned in his sermon that "millions of men and women" in the world today have an "irreligious mentality."

Aversion to Religion "In varying degree this aver­ sion to religion is all about 111S * * * There is present in our world an insidioull and growing campaign to push the' con~pt of God out of all phases of pub­ lic life," he said, .

The Dominican provincial des­ eribed the Holy, Name Societ.y, with more than four million U.S. members, as a major counter­ force to this trend. "It can loe amid of true Holy Name mem­ bers that while they are ernestly and actively engaged in the af­ fairs of everyday living, th.ey never really let themselves out of the presence of God," he said.

"This thing called the Holy Name Society wants to put reli­ gion in the world * * * For this it was founded. For this it has existed more than 700 years. For this it exists today," Father Agius said.

He also said Catholic schools turned down 188,000 students in 1962 for lack of space. In addi­ tion, he said, a "significant

Conscience .and Authority Demand One Another

Marrriage Center Expands Services In Counseling

CHICAGO (NC)-Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh said here that conscience and authority not merely admit of reconciliation but demand one another. Delivering the M~Geary Foundation Lecture at the silver jubilee observ­ ance of the Thomas More times the antonyms are des­ Association, the Bishop said cribed as the Greeks expressed the challenge is to harmon­ them in terms of ethos and ize the two so that neither pathos," he said. will be annihilated. The syn­ chronizing of both (the claims of conscience and authority) must still leave a -tension be­ tween them," he asserted. "In the dynamic society, and the Churcli must always be such, there is a tension as well as a harmony between the liberty that, unchecked, could degener­ ate into chaos atld the control that, unchecked, could freeze into despotism.

Stresses and Strains "Hence in the Church, where the basic relations are in order and both forces are strong, we shall not regret the occasional painful stresses and perhaps em­ barrassing strains which reveal that the tension between indi­ vidual conscience and collective authority is at work," he con­ tinued.

"Quite the contrary: we shall rejoice in the evidence this gives of organic vitality, recognizing not only that the tension remains even after the two forces are harmoniously reconciled but that tension is essential to the har­ mony itself," the prelate said.

Dualism Bishop Wright observed "this truth has its parallel every­ where." He continued: "It is symbolized in the 'basic dualism' that Curt Sachs finds at work in the world of art where the to and fro of shaping trends of perfection depends on two ideals alternately acting as magnetic poles.

"Sometimes this polarity and tension in art is set forth in metaphor from physics; then it is termed 'static-dynamic.' SOMe_

Asks Virginia Aid For All Schools RICHMOND (NC)-A Catholic spokesman told a legislative committee that Catholics want the state tuition grant program changed to permU the grants to go to denominational schools.

"We Catholic parents do not take any position for or against the Virginia tuition grant pro­ gram, but we do insist that if the grants are to go to private schools they, in simple justice, should go to all private schools," said Nicholas A. Spinella, a Rich_ mond attorney. .

He pointed out that Virginia Catholic parents have contrib­ uted "more than our share as citizens" to education in Virgin­ ia. Catholic parents, he said, support public schools, Catholic schools, and now, under the tu­ ition grant program, private non-sectarian schools, too.

Atty. Spinella declared the tuition grant program is "good because it properly recognizes the right of each individual par­ ent to choose public or private schooling, but it is wrong-and more than that, it is unconstitu­ tional and unfair-when it dis­ criminates against the parent of a child attending a denomina­ tional private school using-'a re­ ligious test as the sole basis for denying a tuition grant to that parent."

7,000 Mile Detour QUEBEC (NC) - Archbishop Maurice Roy of Quebec, Primate of Canada, made a 7,000 mile de­ tour, returning here from the Vatican Council. He visited the San Cristobal parish in Paraguay where nine priests and 11 nuns from Quebec are in mission work.

Tension "There is a tension under­ lying the harmonies of music;, where the order of rules is im­ posed on the spontaneity of sound. Biology reveals the 'bal­ ance of nature'; a certain tension is everywhere in art and life or there is no harmony and no health," the prelate declared.

Bishop Wright said "for or­ ganic moral vigor, whether in the person or in society, a cer­ tain tension is an inevitable and necessary as '" '" '" authority it­ self and the impulse. of con­ science."

He declared that "it is in fostering and forming both, in the guidance it gives to consci­ ence and in the controls it im­ poses on authority, with the har­ mony arising from their mutual interplay, that Holy Catholic Church gives glory to God, makes its greatest contribution to civilization and inspires the vocations, temporal and eternal which are pursed' in freedom, (and) illumined by faith" of :)11 people. y'

Upholds Movie Censor Law ANNAPOLIS (NC) The Maryland Court of Appeals here upheld the law requiring movies to be submitted to the State Censor Board for approval be­ fore being shown.

The decision upheld the con­ viction in Baltimore Criminal Court of Ronald Freedman, the­ ater operator, who refused to submit a film to the board for approval. He challenged the constitutionality of the state censorship act.

The high court ruled the law is valid and enforceable. It said the fact that the law requires a film to be submitted to the board before exhibition was not in itself prior restraint on free­ dom of speech. The court de­ clined to rule on other constitu­ tional points raised by Freed­ man on the ground that he had no standing to raise'the points since the film was not submitted.

1,671 Lay Teachers In CCD Classes CLEVELAND (NC) - Con­ fraternity of Christian Doctrine classes here have an enrollment of 62,440 - an 11 per cent in­ crease over last year. The pro­ gram has 1,671 lay men and women as teachers - an increase of 28 per cent. There also are 244 priests and 921 Sisters serving as CCD teachers.

But there's still a long way to go, pointed out Msgr. Richard McHale, diocesan CCD director.

He estimated that some 54,000 students aged 6 to 17 are not in the program. Nearly 28,000 of them are in high schools. Catho­ lic elementary and high schools here enroll about 138,000.

Gown Renta I Service Solves Problem of Church Wedding YUCATAN (NC)_cclt's too ex­ pensive to get married in the Church, Padre!"

Too often this was the reply of prospective 'brides when Father Thomas O'Rourke asked if they were having a Church wedding. The veteran Mary­ knoUer did a l,ittle investigating.

"What's the most expensive item for a wedding?" He asked the eligible girls.

"The wedding dress!" was the unanimous response. "It costs more than everything else com­ bined."

BURLINGTON (NC) - Ver­ mont's Gov. Philip Holf char­ acterized refusal to transport .private school students on public school buses as a "provincial at­ tidude that flies in the face of logic."

He expressed his views during a radio interview program here.'

The Governor acknowledged public-private school relation_ ships often become emotionally controversial. He added: "I wish I had a neat answer to these problems, but I don't."

first such center ever established at a Catholic institution of higher education, has moved into expanded quarters.

The center's new two-story building triples the space pre­ viously available for counseling.

Its staff has also been enlarged.

The center began operations Feb. 11, 1951. At that time there were only three such academic centers in the U.S., and there are still only six.

Three of these are at Catholic schools. Besides Catholic Uni­ versity, these are Iona College, New Rochelle, N.Y., which be­ gan its center last September, and the University of Detroit, which r e c e n t I y announced launching of its center.

Founder and director of the Catholic University Marriage Counseling Center is Alphonse H. Clemens, who has written and spoken widely on marriage ques­ tions.

The center offers masters' de­ grees in marriage counseling and a doctorate awarded in the un­ iversity's sociology department.

Last Full Measure

Certainty

EI18111ioi

In his talk to the p:reachers of Rome, advising them of what message they should bring to the people of his Diocese, Pope Paul stressed the certainty that is found in the Word of God. .

The Holy Father brought out the idea that never was there a time when people clung more to the idea of freedom to do as they pleased, and never were so many people in the world turning· their backs on authoritarian or dogmatic ideas.

And yet, at the same time, the Pope said that "it is also still true that the authority of the Gospel, presented in its genuine light, finds among the men of today-particu­ larly among those painfully burdened, those who are suf­ fering and those who are skeptics and disillusioned-an unusual disposition to listen and agree."

With understanding" the Pope touches on a point of human nature that is eminently true: men are looking for certainty. They want to be sure. They seek security. . No matter. how worldly-minded a person may be, there are times when he is alone with himself and asks himself the great questions on who he is and whence he came and wither he is going.

No'matter how enmeshed a person may be in the, things of this life, his thoughts from time to time go to the life that is to follow.

Men are quick to :resent' what they feel to be the arbitrary order of one ill authority. They will even resent truth if it is presented in an unpalatable way. But they will heed the Word of God, they will listen to the Gospel, because its spirit is the spirit of Jesus Whose very Name ClhnouCJh th£ W££k With th£ ChWtch means Savior. And the Word of God is no less dogmatic because its method of presentation is kindly and comes as

Sensationalism and the Council Much is still being written about Vatican Council II­ about the sessions past and those yet to' come. It is good ' that this momentous event has so captured the minds and imagination and hopes of men that they have an almost insatiable appetite for more information on it..

It is inevitable, naturally, in the course of all this writing that there be exaggerations and unfounded spec­ ulation. And there are .always those writers who will not let either ignorance or facts stand in the way of a good story. Nor will they allow complexity'to prevent their sum­ ming up a difficult subject in a short space.

Readers must beware, then, and read (jouncil stories with a good bit of common sense and a dash of skepticism.

Any story that tries to reduce the issues to a "good guys versus bad guys" approach is simply on the wrong tack.

Any story that tries to cast the Council in terms of its heroes and villians is likewise doing the cause of the Council and of truth a disserviee.

The Council is a monumental undertaking of many thousands of men, all sincere, all following their consciences, all willing to be guided by the Holy Spirit. There have been and will be differences of opinion. There have been and will be strong opposing stands taken on issues that touch emotions deeply. There have been and will be many op­ . portunities for Council Fathers to take sharp issue with the proposals of others.

But in these cases the Council Fathers are comporting themselves with charity and with patience and with the full acceptance that those who do not agree with them are still men of God and men of good will.

This true picture of the Council must not be distorted by slanted or false sensationalistic reporting.

nature of Faith and of man's re­ sponse to God. The Christian finds salvation in community, but in a community in which the person is neither swallowed up nor eclipsed.

Today's First Reading attacks a false and antipersonal notion of solidarity. And the Gospel, too, shows us the healing we seek in Lent as a result of per­ sonal confrotltation with the Lord.

TOMORROW-Ember Friday in Lent. Continuing yesterday's personalist emphasis, the First Reading locates Virtue, not in the race or the tribe or the fam­ ily but in the person.

It is the person's turning to God, his repentance, his recog­ nition of dependence and need which win the mercy so evident in the Gospel and in the other proper texts of today's Mass.

Healing is never far from us, but we must know whom to ask.

SATURDAY - St. Peter's Chair. Today we celebrate the grace Jesus has given us in Peter, first bishop and founda­ tion of the Church at Rome, mother and teacher of all the churches.

Just as human resourcli'S did not produce this primacy, this leadership among the bishops of the world, so human weak­ ness has never been able to de­ prive the Church of it. So we thank God for this bond which, together with the Eucharist and our adherence to God's Word insures our unity.

SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT. "We gave you a pattern of how you ought to live so as to please God," we hear in the First Reading of today's Mass. And some of the specifics of that pat­ tern are pointed out, in case we have erred, that our penance and good works of Lent might be directed to the recovery of right vision.

Yet the Gospel presents the Transfiguration, God's glorifi­ cation of the human flesh of His Son, and in the Collect we pray that God will free us from peril and purify our minds. Our pub­ lic worship never emphasizes

tion toward us.

The liturgy will not permit Us to make a little moralism of our faith, but always shows our good works as an answer of love in a dialogue whose initiative is with God. MONDAY. Yesterday's Trans­ figuration was a visible sign of what today's Gospel tells us in words: that Jesus is the key to the riddle of our existence, that He is the one we look for in our every effort to understand our­ selves.

And the First Reading tells us why. Because we are sinners, helpless and dependent: before the Lord, unworthy of His love.

But Jesus answers our plight by grafting us into His body the Church, identifying us with Him and with His saving deeds.

TUESDAY St. Matthias, Apostle. Today's Mass invites us to pray and to thank God for the ministry of the Church, for our bishops as the chief minis­ ters of Word and Sacraments for the sake of the holy People of God and for our priests and deacons who assist them.

God uses human weaknes all the time, for He uses all of us in the accomplishment of His will.

But perhaps this is especially evident in the ministry of preaching and of worship in the Church. Faith tells us all the while that by these means it is to Him we come, it is His yoke we take, it is of Him we learn (Gospel).

WEDNESDAY. This theme of the ministry is present again at the end of today's Gospel. Jesus tells the leaders of His Church (for He has made it hierarch­ ical) that their function is that of service to the community of His disciples and that the atti­ tude and atmosphere surround­ ing bishop and priest must mark them as servants.

But the First Reading teaches of the desolation of the human race without a Savior, and the first part of the Gospels answers this hopelessness with the re­ solve of Christ to go "up to Jerusalem * * * to be crucified" and to "rise again."

REV. JAMES A. CLARK Assistant Director Latin American Bureau, NCW( LATIN AMERICA CALLING!

Puerto Rico is in the Cal'­ ibbean Sea. This central po­ sition makes it a crossroads for North and South Amer­ ica. And it is not only location but history too that makes it a laboratory for examining the mixtures of customs and cultures of the nor th a n'd south.

Lo ng controlled b y Spain it retains much of its La tin back­ ground and the ways and. wisdom of its southern neighbors. Its more re­ cent ties with the United States have caused it to interwine and interchange its Latin mores with western habits.

In 1952, the University or Puerto Rico - in conj unctiOJl with Fordham University - be­ gan a Summer institute to en­ able North American religious to study Spanish. This would prepare them for work among the Spanish-speaking people who are becoming so numberous in the United States.

The University is situated at Ponce on the southern shore of the island and has a beautiful setting of mountains and sea conducive to studY'.

Train Volunteers Last August, under the super­ vision of the Latin America Bureau, the Institute was en­ larged to provide a twice-a-year training course for Papal Volun­ teers. The Volunteers receive an almost i n d i v i d u a 1 language training course to make them conversant in Spanish. The lan­ guage teachers are natives of the island and have a mastery of both languages.

The' courses are attended by priests, nuns and lay people and thus enable the different people working for the apostolate in Latin America to compare notes and gain from each other's .ideas.

When the student arrives he has often already received some hom~ training in the lay aposto­ late and has passed a thorough screening and processing pro­ gram.

Know, Problems The students live in the neigh. borhood with local families and there learn the ordinary and casual ways of Latin living.

Painlessly and aim 0 s t un­ knowingly they become accus­ tomed to Latin foods, climate, speech, manners and entertain­ ments.

Each weekend they go to local parishes or Catholic institutions to learn face to face the poverty and problems that are the daily diet of. our Latin American brothers in Christ. Puerto Rico has a lingering Catholic culture and the Catholic customs of the people fascinate religiously- re­ served North Americans.

It is almost a sign of God's providence to have a place like Puerto Rico where the Volun­ teers can be eased into Latin American life while retaining familiar United States practices.

These p e 0 pIe - valiantly struggling to prepare themselves for their mission - deserve our prayers.

Theologian Says Christians Seek Four Freedoms

Members of Diocese Save Trading Stamps To ·Build Chapel for Mentally Defective

NAPERVILLE (NC)-A leading Protestant theolo­ gian said here in Illinois that ordinary Christians today

Most of us save trading stamps for little luxuries we couldn't otherwise afford. But some members of the Diocese are saving for pople they've never met-llOO young men, mentally defective delinquents, who are confined to Eastern Correctional Institution, Napanoch, N.Y. Among them is Mrs. Mary V. Higgins of Holy Name parish, Fall River.

She explains that Rev. Mat­ thew J. Killion, Catholic chaplain at the institution, found when he was assigned

are looking to their churches for "'four fundamental freedoms~" Dr. Howard Schomer, presi­ dent of the Chicago Theological Seminary, said the freedoms sought are these: ''To pray God together.

"To discuss together their varied understanding of the one faith.

"To go forth together to help needy humanity.

"To gather in one thankful family about the Lord's holy table." .

Dr. Schomer, an observer at the Second Vatican Council last .Fall, said the council "has al­ ready created a new atmosphere : of cordiaijty and respect be­ tween the Roman Catholic 'Church and the Protestant churches all over the world."

The liturgical reforms ap­ proved by the counell will deepen mutual understanding between Catholics and Protes­ tants, he predicted in a talk at the Evangelical' Theological 'Seminary here.

'Unprecedented' Attraction' "The full spiritual power, mar­ velous beauty and harmonious logic of Catholic worship will for the first time be evident to the average non-Catholic," he said.

"Stripped of what may have appeared to many up till now as unintelligible and unimportant L a tin complications, Catholic worship will be sure to exert 3n unprecedented attraction on many merely nominal Protes­ tants in the United States," he added.

Dr. Schomer emphasized that Catholics and Protestants are still not united and no one can say when they will be.

"But they are free today, as never before, to walk down the road of life together instead of taking the opposite sides of the road, in cold politeness or even with ill-concealed hostility," he said.

Extremists Continue Attack on Missions TEL AVIV (NC) - Extremist Orthodox Jews have adopted a new form of attacking Christian missions here, according to the weekly Huolam Hazeh.

The weekly published a pic­ ture of a one-pound Israeli banknote overstamped in He­ brew: ·"Drive the dirty· mis­ .ionaries from our land."

Huolam Hazeh said: "Religious extremists are using all means, • lawful and unlawful, aainst the missions. The low denomination banknote changed hands swiftly and was therefore seen by thou­ sands before it was retired."

Israeli law forbids the defacing of banknotes.

Prelate to Address

Jewish Leaders,

PHILADELPHIA (NC) Archbishop John J. Krol will ad­ dress a me e tin g of Jewish leaders here Tuesday, March 10 on the work of the Second Vati. ean Council at the invitation of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Greater Philadelphia.

Local B'nai B'rith leaders will present Archbishop Krol with a replica of the plaque which will stand at the en­ trance of the Pope John xxln Peace Forest in Israel. B'na!

B'rith leaders of Philadelphia have initiated this peace forest as a memorial to the late pon­ tiff.

to duty there that 96 per cent of Catholic inmates had no pre­ vious instruction in their faith.

He baptizes about 25 men yearly, and about 70 make their first communions, with an equal number being confirmed. Some 300 inmates attend Catholic ser­ vices, now held in a gymnasium, but better facilities are urgently needed.

And that brings us to the trading stamps. It is Father Kil­ lion's dream to erect a Catholic chapel within the walls of the prison. He has arranged with all major stamp companies for cash grants in return for filled books.

It will take 100,000 books to build the chapel and as of the first of this month 63 per cent of this goal has been attained.

Father Killion feels strongly that the completed house of God will mean a great deal in quickening faith among the inmates. "With a chapel set aside for the wor­ ship of God and nothing else, the services should make a far more vivid impr~ssion in the lives of our men, and have a more lasting effect."

Thera.peutic Aid The trading stamp project has value apart from financial, says Father Killion. Large groups of the mentally handicapped are kept busy pasting stamps into saver books and this is a defi­ nite therapeutic aid, not only oc­ cupying time, but making the men feel they are contributing to their chapel.

Others, too, are helping. John Haugh, a wood carver in County Down, Ireland, heard of the pro_ ject and has offered 'handmade statues of St. Martin de Porres and St. Dismas. And Lee Wana­ giel, New York artist, is contri­ buting Stations of the Cross, while inmates, directed by John Calhoun, instructor at Eastern Correctional Institute, are pre­ paring mosaics of the Prodig'al Son and the Good Samaritan.

Prisoner's Letter Ex-prisoners have also helped, notes Father Killion: "A group of former inmates now in the trucking business dismantled the old benches from a New York church and tranaported them to us in trucks borrowed for the purpose. These same men also rescued a baptismal font and a beautiful statue from a hospital chapel that was being demo­ lished."

The chapel will be known as Saint Jude's Within the Walls

Proposes Christian Summit Meeting HAMBURG (NC) -A Prot­ estant bishop has proposed a Christian summit meeting of representatives of 1 e a din g churches.

Bishop Johannes Lilje of Han­ over, writing in the Sonntags­ blatt (Sunday Paper), said the recent meeting in Jerusalem be­ tween Pope Paul VI and Ortho­ dox Patriarch Athenagoras of Constantinople was "an event of high symbolic importance."

The Bishop stated that the World Council of Churches can­ not stage a similar event but it should make some gesture be­ yond the commonplace. This could be a Christian summit meeting, he said, with represent­ atives of the great' churches dis­ cussing tasks "the Gospel gives Christianity in the present world aituatiOA,"

THE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 20, 1964

Vatican Council's Greatest Action Yet to Come CHICAGO (NC) - Chi­ cago's A I b e r t Cardinal Meyer declared here "the most important contribu­ tion of the Second Vatican Council" is yet to come - the Constitution on the Church.

"I believe we can say this with confidence even though the council must already be ad­ judged a great success on other counts, if only for the magnifi­ cent .Constitution on the Lit­ urgy," the Cardinal told the 25th anniversary celebration of the Thomas More Association.

Cardinal Meyer advocated that dialogue "in the bosom of the Church" be animated by the counsel of St. Paul- "to practice the truth in love." He recalled that "in the past, bitter controversies among the various schools of theology often de­ flected attention from the pas­ toral needs of the people; it was the lack of charity which pro­ duced unfavorable results in theology."

'E'loquent Voices' Raised "I cannot escape the feeling that something similar is hap­ pening in the present time in a good deal of the negative crit­ icism voiced in speaking and writing by some of our contem­ porary speakers and writers," the Cardinal said.

Cardinal Meyer said "articu­ late and eloquent voices are be­ ing raised, and able and even gifted pens are being engaged in the public critical analysis of the Church and her institutions or in the collective self-examina­ tion of the faults and failures of the children of Holy Mother Church.

"These voices and these pens • • • belong to the household of the Faith. Their purpose is to en. gage in a healthy and helpful di­ alogue among ourselves to help improve our full commitment to our sacramental Baptism and Confirmation signs," he said.

STAMP COLLECTOR: Mrs. Mary Higgins of Holy Name parish collects trading stamps for benefit of New York state prison chapel. Stamps are redeemed by prison chaplain for cash, augment chapel building fund. and contributors are "honorary parishioners." As to how the real parishioners feel about it, a letter from one to his family amply indicates: "I don't know if I told you, but the Chaplain is trying to build a Chapel for the guys right here in the prison. He wants to call it Saint Jude's Within the Walls. I guess that makes St. Jude a lifer. I'm only kidding with that, I mean about the lifer part. Any_y, from what I hear about this Jude, he picked the right one, and how!

"You know I was never one for Churches, but I hope he does OK. I really do. Right now, we go to Sunday Mass in a big gym_ nasium where the Father says Mass on a big table right in the middle of the basketball court.

If a guy is going to go to church, it's nice if at least it looks like one, and not like Madison Square Garden for a big hockey game.

"This is a real laugh for you I know, because you know if

there is anything I'm not, it's a Monk. Still, it would be pretty nice if he gets it. We have all kinds of real sharp ball-fields and shops, but a chapel is a little different. It's the only place in a prison where you feel like you're not really a prisoner but just like everybody else."

Contributions of t r a din g stamps, in or out of books, can be sent to Father Killion at the Office of the Catholic Chaplain, Box 338, Napanoch, N.Y.

"The conference showed thl~ Protestants and the OrthodOJ[ to be God-fearing, religious men who were quite well informed on what changes are taking place in the U. S." he said.

"They are not deceived ·by the old, cliches and the tired meta­ phors of yesteryear," he added!.

He said Catholic observers at the conference concluded that "Catholics must formulate a much clearer policy to answer the question of just what they want."

"Catholics must address them­ selves to both the Protestant and Orthodox objections and their own aspirations, convinced that men of good will can solve these problems," he said.

His views on the conference were contained in an article written for the, Monitor, news­ paper of the San Francisco arch­ diocese and the Dioceses of Stockton and Santa Rosa, Calif.

Prelate Urges Teachers Act Against Bias

WASHINGTON (NC) - One of the most scholarly Catholic literary projects in th~ nation's history is coming into the stretch, expecting to get 15 million words across .the finish line by. December, 1965. It is the New Cathoiic .Encyclopedia, b e i n g pro­ many subjects that require a duced at the Catholic Uni­ place in a Catholic encyclopedia versity of America at the at the present time.

A staff of 90 at the university . .is editing the work of some· 7,600 contributors drawn from' the intellectual resources of ·the Church and from other segments of the national and international ~cholarly community. They ~i1l produce more than 17,500 signed articles with 10,000 accompany·' Jng illustrations.

On Schedule The two men immediately dl- . recting the operation told an in­ terviewer in their headquarters at St. John's Hall that the project is progressing smoothly and McGraw-Hill publishers should be able to market the 15-volume set right on schedule in 1966.

The two are Father John P. Whalen, assistant professor of theology at the university, who is editorial operations director, and Martin R. P. McGuire, a scholar in ;classics and ancient history at the university since 1924, who is senior editor.

Editor-in-chief is Msgr. Wil­ liam J. McDonald, rector of the unversity. The project's assistant editor.in-chief is Msgr. James A. Magner, procurator and assistant trea·surer of the institution.

Brand New Both stressed that the ency­ clopedia's coverage of 66 fields of knowledge represents a new approach and is in no way a revision of the old Catholic En­ cyclopedia publiShed between 1907 and 1914.

"The list of titles in the new encyclopedia is based on elab­ orately prepared charts and out­ lines of each field! although the title lists of other encyclopedias were not ignored," said Father Whalen.

Both said the old encyclopedia was definitely apologetic in tone and excluded the treatment of

The Catholic prelate said they could make their contributions tOward the achievement of racial justice and 'charity in four stages: by personally pledging themselves to make the problem their own; by understanding the problems of others; by joining the rights' struggle; and by giving themselves to the work of healing and growth.

White School Teacher Files Suit

To Attend Negro Unive'rsity

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - A ~hite Catholic high school teaeher has asked Federal Dis-' trict Court here to order her admission as a student to allNegro Sou the r n University'.

New Orleans branch.

"Everything you can integrate makeli' us live in a little better world," said Mrs. Virginia Cox Welch, 50, who teaches English and reading at St. Augustine's Catholic High, a predominantly Negro school. She said she wants to attend the Southern U. branch here to complete a course for a atate teacher's certificate. ''My husband and I are really con~inced that this" is important," Mrs. Welch said. Her husband James i1; an instructor at Xavier University, a predominately Negro institution, con­ ducted by the Sisters of Blessed Sacrament, which was integrated racially some 12 years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Welch reside in an all-Negro subdivision, just a few blocks from the Southern University branch.

"We live out there," Mrs. Welch said, "because it's the only place where we can live and not be segrated. We don't like segregation."

'More Convenient' She said it would be more convenient for her to attend close-by Southern than travel aeross town to some other uni­ versity. Mrs. Welch has been teachioi at the Catholic: high

WASHINGTON (NC) A Catholic . spokesman .told Con­ gress here there is no conflict between the Peace Corps and private overseas agency pro­ grams, but that each stimulates the other.

This was the testimony of Msgr. Joseph Gremillion, direc­ tor, socio-economic development Catholic Relief Services - Na­ tional Catholic Welfare Confer­ ence, to the House Foreign ,A:!.­ fairs Committee.

"Each stimulates the other," said' Msgr. Gremillion, "to beget a well-rounded overseas opera­ tion by. government and private groups to the joint benefit of our nation, world peace and the whole human family."

'Doin~ Good Job' "It is the conviction of our agency that the Peace Corps is doing a good job," he said.

The committee overwhelming. ly approved, by a vote of 21 to 3, President Johnson's full $115 million. request for the Corps, $19 million more than was asked last year. .

The increase will permit en­ larging the number of Peace Corps members to 14,000 by 1965. There are now about 7,000 overseas. '

Miss Boudreaux' sister, Bri­ gitte, is another veteran parish worker. She's the last of the "Montreuses de Catechisme" (teachers of catechism), a group which went through the bayou country preparing children for first Communion and for Con­ firmation.

In amplification of the four. point program for racial justice and charity, Archbishop O'Boyle said teachers bear a special re­ sponsibility, because to them are committed the minds and often the consciences of the young.

Because what they teach is discussed with parents arid friends, he observed, teachers can often stir the consciences of those who have not realized the demands of Christian love in the racial crisis.

"If' we are on fire," he de­ clared, "they will burn with zeal. Here is our challenge and our Opportunity. The conscience of America is entrusted into our hands."

Cent.ury of the La,ity

Says: Enc:yclic:al Encourages Both Types of Unions

,I" .

Go'd Love You

By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. .

By Msgr. George G. Higgins In its treatment of contempOI'ary trade unionism Pope John XXIII's encyclical, Mater et Magistra (Christianity and Social Progress) takes note of the fact that Catholics throughout the world are adively engaged in two different types of unions: (1) thos.~ that carry on their activitiell way to prefer since, according his ideas, the solution of such in more or less explicit ac­ to problems lies with the individ­ cord with the principles 0:[ ual."

teaching and (2) those that fol.

low the natural law and respect the liberty of individuals in religious and moral questions.

The fir st of these two cate­ gories is com-' prised of the Christianunions in Belgium, Holland, France, Switzer. land, Latin America, and lIOme parts Of Asia and Africa..

The second category includes the neutral unions' of the United States, Canada,England, and various other countries.

I•.

What will the Church be like after the Council? The twent,-­ first century will be the century. of the laity. The Church was so busy after the sixteenth century, in affirming the truth of the episcopacy and the priesthood which had been denied that the laity were reduced to a passive or secondary role. But although the bishops and priests will always be superior in divine calling and dignity to the laity, after the Council they will be inferior to them in function or service.· The former will be more like Our Lord: "He that is the greatest among you will become u the least.·

The laity of the futnre will be neither those who are "'p.... minent" because the,. are rich or have hODO~ medal. _4 decorations, nor those who are mere sheep to be sheared by multiple coUections. The laity will all be missionaries like "the men of Cyprus and Cyrene who, when they found their way to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks as well, preaching Lord Jesus to them. And the Lord's power was with them, so that a neat number learned 10 . ~elieve and turned to the ,Lord" (Acts 11:20). The laity will consecrate their pro­ fessions and their work, whether it be scientific, commercial, legal, theatrical, in­ dustrial or secretarial, by influencing their associates. The "Third Orders" which arose out of medieval religious communities wlll be modernized Into groups of famJlies, neighborhoods. and professions to !IaIlctif,. a cJe-Chrfsflanized world. The Church, Instead. of beln~ a pyramid with the laity at Ute base and the priests and bishops at the top, will be a sPiral in which each accordfnl' to his fuDctlon, extends Redemption be­ yond the gMtto of a partsh or a diocese Inlo the world. The world in which the laity wlll mon with tbe divintt,. and the , sPirit given them b,.. the priests wUl listeD to onl,. one arpment - the for~tten argument of holiness. The world that has aposta_ tized from God wiD be converted onl,. by seelnl' bow much God means in our lives. As the atheiSt Nietzsche put it: "You wID never convince me of a Redeemer unle. ,.ou act as one redeemed."

As far as I am concerned that settles the matter once and for all. From here on in, the burden of proof is on those spokesmen for the Christian trade union ASS A Y: Rev. Noel F. movement who continue to argue Moholy, O.F.M., of Santa that Mater et Magistra gives a preferred status to Christian Barbara, is believed to be the unions as opposed to neutral first priest to serve on the unions.

Mount St. Mary team teaching program students enjoyed a re­ cording of Beowulf and the pro­ logue of the Canterbury Tales.

Next unit of study is narrative poetry. Meanwhile senior phy­ sics students and freshman physical science students saw a film entitled "About Time," which was about what you might expect.

Films have been on the agen­ da at Bishop Cassidy too, with girls seeing movies of the World's Fair to stimulate inter­ est in the forthcoming Diocesan CYO World's Fair Tour.

Also at Cassidy coaches from member teams of the Bristol County Girls' League met to plan a volleyball schedule.

The Holy Family Debating. l;;ociety has made a 10-0 record ~ithin the past· week. In· their first league - tournament they· were undefeated with a 4-0 rec­ ord, and are now at the head of the league. Affirmative team was Kathleen Kennedy and Ed­ ward Parr; negative team was Mary Ellen Crowley and Mari­ lyn Mulcairns. At the New York University Tournament, out of 44 ~ams from sQc different states, Holy Family was one out of only three teams that were undefeated after six rounds. The affirmative team wall the same,

but the negative team consisted of Marilyn Mulcairns and Susan Sweeney. At the end of Febru­ ary, these four debaters will go back to New York University for the finals in which 16 teams will compete.

League play will continue on Wednesday, March 11 at Bishop Stang High School and again on Wednesday, April 1 at the Acad­ emy of the Sacred Hearts in Fall River. In each tournament, 17 high schools from Southeast­ ern Massachusetts and Rhode Island are represented by af­ firmative and negative teams.

Each team debates two rounds in each tournament.. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams will be selected for ~he final playoff rounds.

Coyle High School reports that its debaters, with five wins and three losses, are in fourth place in the Narragansett League.

Rere and There A faculty-student basketban game is on the Feehan calendar for Friday, Feb. 28.

Louise Demers, school presi­ dent at JeSUS-Mary, will repre­ sent the school on Student Gov­ ernment Day at the State House Friday, April 10. She's to be clerk of the house.

Basketball players at Prevost will enter the Bay State Tourna­ ment quarter finals, to be held Saturday and Sunday, March 28 and 29.

The sixth annual Easter C.Y.o. basketball tournament will be held this year beginning March 20, 1964. Paul Borkman, who has supervised the tourney since its. start in 1959, will again be the director. Trophies, individual and team, will be awarded to the first and second place squads.

'The tourney will comprise two divisions: Senior - for players born after Jan. 1, 1944; and Jun­ ior-for players born after Jan. 1, 1948.

Last year the tourney drew some 104 entries from the dio­ cese of Providence and the arch­ diocese of Boston as well as many quintets from the Fall River area. The increase in teams from 34 in 1959 to last season's record number has ne­ cessitated a change in the tour­ nament setup.

Entries will be limited and preliminary contests will be played in Attleboro, New Bed, ford, Taunton (juniors only), lUI well as in Fall River. The entry deadline has been set for 'March 15.

Please mail them to the tour­ nament director at 403 Anawan Street, Fall River. In addition to the age requirements, a five dollar fee must accompany each roster and all players registered must be from the same parish.

The tournament, sponsored by ,the Men's Club of St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, has al­ ways drawn the top stars from Bristol County. B.C.'s Manny Papoula, StonehilI's Dick Munson and Gerry Cunniff, St. Anselm's Don Carey, are but a few who have gone on to star in the col­ lege ranks. Since 1960 Plymouth County and the Cape have sent representatives in addition to outstanding young court acee from Newport and Providence.

1964 promises to be a banner year for the tourney. Applica­ have been sent to every parish in the Dioceses of Fall River and Providence. More are available at Diocesan C.Y.O. centers.

Opposes Use c.f States' 'Rights Doctrine to JII,stify Wrongs FAIRFIELD (NC) -A Jesuit law professor said here that the doctrine of states' rights can't be used to justify "stat.es' wrongs" through the denial of civil rights. ''There is no state right to deny to any person 'the equal protection of the laws' or a,ny other Federally protected rights," said Father William J. Kenealy, S.J., of the Boston College law lIChoo!.

Father Kenealy, in a lecture at' Fairfield University, prai.sed the U. S. Supreme Court for "its , humility, its courage, its love of file Constitution, and its c.,n· stant pursuit of the Amerkan ideal" in its recent civil rights rulings.

Noting the charge that the court has "usurped" states' rights by its school segregation rulings, the priest commented: 'u:rhe court has not told the states bow they shall run their own schools or local activities. The court has .unply told them how they shall not do so, which is a vasUy tiif­ ferent matter." .

Objectivel)' Wro~ Father Kenealy commended the court for reversing the ~'flep­ arate but equal" justifieation of segregation that had been up­ held in an 1896 ruling. He caUed the reversal "clearly necessary to promote justice."

"Even supposing the impos­ sible hypothesis of actually equal facilities and the absence of racial supremacy overtones," he said, "racial segregation would still be objectively wrong.

"It would deny in practice the natural hypotheisis of actu­ ally equal facilities and the ab­ sence of racial supremacy 1S'ver­ tones," he said, "racial segrega­ tion would still be objectively wrong.

"It would deny in practice the natural unity of the human race which impels men to cooperate for the common good. It would deny in practice the natural liberty of men to associate with companions of their choice for their mutual good.

"It would still offend human dignity, which God Himself re­ spects in the rational creatures He has endowed with a common and an eternal destiny."

Christian Front Present Need

WICHITA (NC) - Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J. Sheen of New York said here in Kansas that Catholics and Protestants today are united in a "Christian front" against godlessness.

"There is one and the same enemy facing all of us. Because of it we are closer together," Bishop Sheen told 10,000 per­ sons-Catholics and non-Catho­ lics-in the University of Wich­ ita fieldhouse.

To Leper CollDny in Philippines LIVINGSTON (NC) - Not only is the Catholic press e·ffec­ tive. It has a remarkable staying power, too.

Just ask Joseph Priester (J,f the Knights of Columbus council in this New Jersey community. As a result of a story in the Sacred Heart 'Messenger he has sent nearly $250,000 worth of medi­ cal supplies, clothing and food to the Culion leper colon;v in Palawan, Philippines, since 1956.

And the remarkable' thing is that th~ story that caught his eye had been published two years earlier, in 1954.

Priester recalls that after reading the story of poverty, di­ sease and death he felt he "just couldn't sit there when :rome­ thing had to be done."

He obtained a film illustrating conditions at Cullon and showed it to his brother knights. As a result, the c 0 u n c i I offered money, manpower and en­ couragement.

Then he contacted hospitals, schools, Catholic organiz;ations

and Immaculate Conception Seminary, Darlington, asking their support. The hospitals agreed to save items that would be useful in Culion and the other groups began drives to collect goods.

Priester also got the backing of local merchants, including two shoe store owners, a diaper concern and a printer who re­ produced the Sacred Heart Mes­ senger article. One reprint found its way to Florida where a bene­ factor heard of Priester's work and sent hundreds of dollars -worth of wool and knitting needles for use by lepers who still have hands.

Supplies are picked up in a truck rented by the knights.

They are stored in a shed next to the K of C clubhouse and three times a year are trucked to the Catholic Relief Services­ National Catholic Welfare Con­ ference in Brooklyn. There they are readied for shipment to Cullon.

A partial inventory of goods sent to Culion over the years shows 106 hospital beds, 40 hos­ pital cribs, 6,000 diapers (used for bandages), 15 hospital basi­ nettes, two operating tables, a complete dental office, 10 hos­ pital type inCUbators, thousands of sample medicines, 60 barrell ef rice ad Zi tau of clothing.

Contraceptives Continued from Page One the use of sterilizing drugs for the purpose of preventing con­ ception; says they are in error; and t h rea ten 09 their opinions with ecclesiastical con­ demnation.

It is obvious therefore that the Holy See, through Pius XII, was acting authoritatively when it condemned the contraceptive use of the new pills.

Acceptance It is true that theologians do not consider that such moral pronouncements are proposed to the faithful like an article of faith, taught with infallible authority. But it is part of Catholic teaching that even when the Pope does not use his supreme infallible power, his authoritative pronouncements call for acceptance, and, where moral matters are concerned, are binding in practice on the consciences of Catholics.

The contraceptive pill as we know it today does not differ in any significant way from the pill condemned by the Holy See. No new medical factors have been made known which make its contraceptive use today mor­ ally different from the contra-. ceptive use which Pius XII de­ clared immoral five and one half years ago.

Hope This does not mean that there is nothing left for Catholic theo­ logians to say about the pill.

Theologians are still dis­ cussing certain of its uses to de­ termine whether they are really contraceptive. In Chapter 16 of' our recent book "Marriage Ques­ tions (Vol. II of "Contemporary Moral Theology," New man Press) Father Gerald Kelly and I try to contribute to this dis­ cussion by explaining some of thege possibilities.

Furthermore, there is well founded hope that medical science will discover soon a pill which will regulate ovulation with enough precision to make the use of rhythm secure and effective. This is just what Pius XII hoped would take place.

Members of the Attleboro District Serra Club have a different and better perspective today of the ecumenical movement begun by the late Pope John XXIII and continued

by Pope Paul VI. An Episcopal minister from Worcester provided the insight when unity of the Christian world, he addressed the group of having served as an official ob­ Catholic laymen at a meeting server of the Episcopal Church in North Attleboro. He was of the United States at the two the first non-Catholic to appear as a speaker before the club, which has as its primary goal fostering of vocations to reli­ gious life. is The Rev.

to Church

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI, continuing an ancient custom revived by the late Pope John XXIII after a lapse of centuries, began Lent with a ceremonial visit to the stational church of the day.

More than a thousand people were waiting for him inside and' just outside the small Church of St. Sabina on the Aventine Hill. Leading them were major superiors of the Dominican order, which has its general house in the adjoining monas­ tery..

After praying the Litany of the Saints with the people, the Pope gave a 20-minute talk in which he urged them to intensi­ fy their prayers and penances during Lent.

Penance Necessary He said that although the modern age seems to be concen­ trating a great part of its efforts on makiIlg life convenient, pen­ ance is still necessary.

Speaking of prayer, he said the ecumenical council's Consti­ tution on the Liturgy will help Catholics "to pray in chorus with the whole Church."

Lent, the Pope said, should be characterized "most of all by the oractice of the. queen of virtues -charity."

c;,,,onsors Pilorimage To IndiQ Con~ress BOSTON (NC)-Richard Car­ dinal Cushing 'of Boston will sponsor a national pilgrimage to India next Fall in connection with the 38th International Eucharistic Congress to be held in Bombay.

The pilgrimage will leave Boston Nov. 25, visit seven countries including India, and return before Christmas. The group will be in Bombay Dec. 4-7. It will go also to the Holy Land and Rome.

Cardinal Cushing will not ac­ company the pilgrimage him­ self. He is committed to visit at the same time missions con­ ducted in Peru, Bolivia and Ec­ uador by the Missionary Society of St. James the Apostle, which he founded in 1958. The con­ gress will be held from Nov. 28 to Dec. 6.

Attend 'Installation CANTON (NC) - A Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi and a Pro­ testant clergyman attended the installation of a Universalist­ Unitarian minister in this Mas­ sachusetts community. Rev. Wil­ liam R. Jacobsen, a Canadian, became pastor of the First Uni­ versalist and the Unitarian church. Present were Father William H. Morgan, pastor of St. John's Catholic church, Rabbi Howard Kummer of Temple Beth Abraham and Dr. Zdenek Bednar of the United Church 0If Christ.

ses$ions of the' Ecumenical Council in Rome and having years of experience as a member of various inter-faith organiza­ tions in Worcester.

Father Clapp, a member of the High Episcopal Church, detailed to the Serrans the areas of doc­ trine in which the Catholic and Protestant churches are close and where they .differ.

The underlying. theme of Father Clapp's discourse was that there is no area where agreement· is "impossible" be. cause, he said, "I'm sure God is behind this movement and will guide us to solution." . . "One of the most important aspects. of the ecumeical move­ ment," the rector said, '''is . the belief that God started it, so when we can't agree we should pray to Him for a solution and move on to another area."

Father Clapp said it is his belief that "God played a trick on us with the selection of Pope John as the Bishop of Rome, the head of the Catholic Church.

"The belief at the time of his election (by the College of Car­ dials upon the death of Pope Pius XII) was that he was to serve as an interim Pope. How we were fooled.

"Here was a roly-poly man, a loveable man, the first man who non-Catholics acknowledged as the leader of the Christian world."

Father Clapp cited examples of the influence Pope John had on the leaders of other religious faiths, chief of which was the question asked of him by a Methodist minister in Worces­ ter shortly after the death of Pope John. "Who," the Metho­ dist asked, "is going to be 'our' next Pope?"

"He would not have even thought that five years before," said Father Clapp.

The Episcopalian, whose sub­ ject was "An Anglican Looks At Catholicism," said he has witnessed the same ecumenical feeling throughout the ranks of the religious with 'whom he comes in contact and within his own parish.

The chief obstacles in the path of unity, he said, are Catholic belief in the infallibility of' the Pope and the Immaculate Con­ ception and Assumption of Mary.

"Let's leave the work there to God and get on with our busi­ ness," Father Clapp concluded.

Sees Dialogue Need In Christian Charity SAN FRANCISCO (NC) ­ Catholic Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken of San Francisco has told the Episcopal Church Dio­ cese of California convention the goal of Christian unity more likely will be achieved through "respect for each other's convic­ tions, ,and the desire to know and understand each other's be­ liefs and commitments."

The objective of the ecumen­ ical movement, he said, "is not proselytism, nor the conquering of each other in argument. It is recognized that what we need is not diatribe but dialogue ill Christian charity."

The Archbishop said ecumen­ ism "does not involve any com­ promise in faith, that it admits of no watering down of our be­ llefs, or sugar-coating them to make them more palatable to

others."

cans on race, a priest claimed here. Father Joseph Berrigan, S.S.J., of New York, told a Seton Hall University audience that a massive educational program on race is needed - "beginning with Church professionals."

Father Berrigan, suggested that northern whites are reluc­ tant to accept the Negro as 8 person. "This would painfully and inevitably mean that we would have to accept ourselves. face ourselves, see ourselves as the kind of persons that we are," he said.

"If we want a yardstick of what we are, individually and collectively, our view of the f or Negro is that yardstick," 'he said. "We are, to an astounding degree, what we think him to be, what we are prepared to do for him, what we will allow him to do for us."

Catholics Involved Another speaker, Father Stan­ ley M. Grabowski of Bayonne, told the assembly that Catho­ 'icism does not consist of "some kind of list of dogmas or a ')urely private religious experi­ ence."

"We cannot continue," he de­ clared, "to hide in the sanctuary while our brothers are taking a terrible beating in the streets;' while they are denied decent housing; while they must settle for second-rate jobs and worse; while they are not given the opportunity of exercising full citizenship; while they are forced to lead lives of ridicule, frustration an!! despair because of our bigotry, ignorance, pre­ judice and hatred."

The Catholic population of the archdiocese, which ,includes the District of Columbia and five adjoining Maryland counties, rose from 281,322 in March, 1957, to 349,179 last November - an increase of 67,857. Total popula­ tion in the same area is about 1.6 million.

These figures are based'on archdiocesan censuses taken last November and in March, 1957.

The present Catholic population of the archdiocese is more than double that of 1948, when Arch­ bishop Patrick A. O'Boyle be­ came its first resident Ordinary.

The latest census showed 58,­ 677 children attending Catholic elementary and sec 0 n dar y schools. The increase over 1957 is 14,534 or 32.9 per cent. An­ other 53,634 Catholic children are in the age bracket under five. Confraternity of Christian Doctrine religion classes have an enrollment of 33,280.

Rabbi Deplores Hate Messages

THE ANCI-'0"-Diocese c:>f Foil River-Thurs., Feb. 20, 1964

NEW ORLEANS (NC)- The rabbi of Touro synagogue here has charged "hate messages" and "vicious lies" are being sent out iIi this area through a re­ corded telephone service.

The recordings, Rabbi Leo A. Bergman said, are called' "The Voice of Truth" and "The Voice of the White Citizens' Council."

The messages are heard by call­ ing a certain telephone number.

The messages, Rabbi Be~gman said, "have tried to divide Jew and Protestant - Christian Jew and Negro--and to set citizen

Jesuit Work .Gives In~ight Into Variety of Religions

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy A recent visitor in our house was a Japanese bishop on 'his way home from the second session of Vatican Council II. In speaking of his country, he naturally mentioned Shinto and sought to explain it to us. We blush to confess our utter ignorance of the subject, and its concepts culture, and less creedal than ethical or racial." proved so alien as to render Moreover, it is historically ready understanding im-· identified with people living in

by'mankind today.

For his information he has gone to representative authori·. ties who are adherents of the respective religions of which they write. He has also searched the sacred books of the varioui3 religions and quotes from them more or less extensively.

There are almost 500 pages oE text in Father Hardon's work, in addition to 30 pages of note.3 and biblography. In the main text, 147 pages are devoted to Christianity: that is, to Early C~ristianity, to Roman Catholi,­ cism, to Eastern Orthodoxy, to Protestantism, and to the so­ called Old Catholic Churches.

a certain region corresponding to modern India, and it has al­ ways heavily depended on the leaders of Indian history.

Chapter on Islam Concerning Confucianism, too, the query may be raised whether it is truly a religion, since it is without creed, priesthood, or organization. But it may be categorized as a religion in that it is an expression of spiritual reality and of man's attitude to the universe.

Shinto, long operative in 'Japan, is an amalgam, with ele­ ments drawn from borrowed re­ ligions -like Buddhism from India and ,Confucianism from China, and is alsp and. strongly a religious expression of patri­ otism.

This last feature causes Shinto to concentrate, almost entirely on secular considerations and values and renders it especially vulnerable to the onslaughts of western secularism.

The reader will undoubtedly pay close' attention to ·the long chapter on Islam. This is, of course, one of the most fascinat_ ing phenomena in the history of religion, and it deser.ves espe-' cial notice today because of the prevalence and the spread of the religion of Mohammed in emerging parts of the world: for example, Africa.

Practical Value 'Father Hardon asserts that Moslems do not want to be called Mohammedans, or their religion Mohammedanism be­ cause such designations s~ggest a worship of Mohammed as di­ vine, much as the' term Chris­ tian has the connotation of a worship of Christ.

The book is not concerned with the pre-Christian phase of JUdaism, but only with Juda­ ism's evolution in the Christian era. It goes at length into· the Talmud, explains the epochal contribution of Moses Maimon­ ides in the twelfth century, and deftly distinguishes the three types of Judaism found today­ namely, Orthodox, Reform and Conservative.

This last point has practical value for the American Chris­ tian who knows that there are different kinds of synagogues representing different attitudes or commitments on the part of their rabbis and congregations, but does not know in what the differences consist.

Sincere Convictions After reviewing succinctly the history of Protestantism, Father Hardon stresses the difference between the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox, on the one hand and the Protestant, on the other; the former "believe the Church possesses the Spirit of God and speaks to its members in His name; the Protestant con_ siders the Spirit as somehow outside the Church, not unlike the theory of imputed justifica­ tion of Christ's merits to a man who still remain a sinner."

Protestantism "sees itself in a constant process of renewal, so that all its affiliations with vis­ ible ecclesiastical structures, its adoption of various liturgical forms, and even the acceptance of certain confessional creeds are tentative."

against citizen." Recent record­ ings, he said, have attacked Jews with claims that they are pushing racial integration.

Sees Blood Bath "W?at they are leading to," RabbI Bergman charged, "is a blood bath whose roots trace back to the murders at Old Miss the Evers murder (Medger EV~ ers, field secretary in Mississippi for the NAACP) and the Dallas assassination of an American President. They want to plant the seed of hate in every insane mind, they can reach."

Rabbi Bergman called on the seven Jewish synagogues and temples in New Orleans to band together to oppose the messages.

The messages, he said, are made up of "twisted truths out of con­ text, half-truths and outright lies." Some members of the Jew­ ish faith, Rabbi Bergman con­ tinued, oppose speaking out against --the White Citizens Council and its leaders.

Extend Exposition COLLEGE GRANT: Ellen McCarty, senior at Sacred Hearts Academy, Fall River, has been awarded a $950 grant by Northeastern Uni­ versity. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis J.

Adult

Edu~ation

Continued from Page One ing through Rev. Edmond L. Dickinson, curate,. the veteran priest declares, "Youngsters like the high school column because they can compare their own school's activities with those of others. In the same way they measure their own and, their school's achievements in the field of athletics through the weekly sports column. And Father Joseph McGloin's advice to teen~agers gives practical hints and a wealth of material substantiating counsel they may have received elsewhere."

Sacred Heart has long met its Anchor quota and is one of the parishes responsible for the fact that the Attleboro area has the highest percentage of quota parishes in the Diocese.

It's in Attleboro, too, that Bishop Feehan High School has marked Catholic Press Month by entering an Anchor subscription for each of its homerooms.

The Anchor's coverage of -the Church in Latin America and of the PAVLA program in partic­ ular are singled out for praise

by Msgr. Raymond T. Considine of St. William's parish, Fall River.

"The Anchor gives excellent coverage to our missionaries all over the world and it has cre­ ated new interest in supporting the Church's efforts in South America," said the Diocesan Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

It was recalled that the Dioc­ esan newspaper was commended last month at the first national council of the Papal Volunteers' for Latin America for "its con­ tinuous coverage of the l'rob­ lems of the Church in Latin America."

An alert newspaper, aware of its responsibilities to all parts of the Diocese and to the ubi­ versal Church - that is The Anchor's image in 1964. But preparation of a good and read­ able newspaper is only half the job. The job is completed when reader and paper meet. It will be finished when every family in the Diocese receives and reads its own Catholic paper.

where Rev. Edward F. Dow1ing is pastor and St. Dominic's pa::-ish in Swansea where Rev. William R. Jordan is pastor. These quota­ class parishes have their si!~hts set on the success of Rev. .John G. Carroll in St. John the Baptist parish in Central Village, West­ port, in gaining complete family coverage.

Catholic Press month comes

to a close next week when 'The

Anchor subscription drive e~'lds.

We have reason to belieVe that

many additional parishes will be

in the complete family coverage

clas o before the 1964 drive is concluded.
