Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, issued on the first Sunday of Lent his annual Lenten Pastoral to his flock. The Pastoral, entitled, "Call of The Council," was distributed in all Churches of the Archdiocese. Following up his Lenten Pastoral of 1961 that dealt with "secularism" or "humanism," the Cardinal sees the need of bridging the chasm that exists if man is to survive. Realizing the hold that Communism has on so much of the world's population, the Boston Prelate states that it is "small wonder that the Vicar of Christ, gazing out upon a troubled world, calls the successors of the Apostles to his side, like the Lord Himself in the upper foom." "At a time when human exisltence sinks' toward the SUbhuman, someone must come forth to reassert the claims of the supernaturaI." The Cardinal continues, "On the pile of broken treaties and uncounted betrayals, there must be raised again for the inspiration I)f mankind the authentiC' Turn to Page Eighteen

With the opening of the II Vatican Council set for October of this year, Catholics and non-Catholics alike all over the world will be asking many questions as to the nature and purpose of ecumenical councils, how many of the there haye been_ and what tra.nspired in them. We hope in this series of articles to be able to satisfy some of these querIes. Much confusion is bound to arise in the minds of men over this great event because general councils of the Church are an extraordinary event; there have been only 20 thus far, the last one being held in 1869-1870. Since the time the twentyfirst general council was announced by Pope John XXIII, several excellent, easily - readable books have been published which are available at most libraries and book stores. Among them we may cite the fol.lowing: John L. MurphY,The General Councils of The Church (Milwaukee: Bruce, 1960). Philip Hughes, The Church in Crisis (N. Y.: Hanover House, 1961). Clement Raab, The Twen'ty Ecumenical Councils of the Catholic Church (Md.: Newman, 1959).

The reading of anyone of these books will help one to appreciate the significance of the Second Vatican Council; for the present council' can be grasped only in the light of the past. An ecumenical council is a general or universal council of the Church. It derives its name from a Greek word which means the habitable world and thus it means a council which is world-wide. Indeed, an ecumenical council is just that because the Bishops of all dioceses in the world, as the official teachers and judges of the Church, are invited, but not Turn to Page Six
