Critic~
Who Harm Church VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has called on eatholics to love, defend and promote the internal unity of the Church and taken issue with Catholics whose only contribution to the Church is "a bitter, disruptive and systematic criticism." The one contrary to the other, to sow Pope said at his regular suspicions, to deny trust and do weekly general audience that cility to authority, to defend au in speaking of the Church's tonomous actions without foun internal unity he was referring to "the urgent obligation of everyone to nourish that sense of solidarity of friendship, of rnutual comprehension 'Qf and respect for the common inher itance of doctrines and morals, of obedience and of unanimity ift the faith that must distinguish Catholicism." Without specifically stating what disruptive tendencies he had in mind, he gave an indica tion by asking: "What must we say of those wh.o ... know of no other con tribution to give to Catholic life than that of a bitter, disruptive and systematic criticism? What are we to say of those who put in doubt or deny the validity of the traditional teaching of the Church so that they may invent new and untenable theologies? What must we' say of those who seem to have a taste for creating ~·rents (of thought or opinion~
dation or wisdom? What must we say of those who, to be mod ern, find all imitable and bear able beauty in what they see in other areas and all that is unbearable and debatable and outdated in our area?" Pope Pa.ul made it clear he was not referring to "the process of purification and renewal which now agitates and regenerates the Church, and which, above all, works for and promotes the Church." Instead, the Pope said, "we only wish to invite all those who feel the dignity and responsibil ity of the name of Catholic to love strongly and deeply the my stery of its interior unity, and to venerate it in word and deed so as to give to the Church the joy of being what it is, magnificient ly one, and so as to increase the splendor which comes from it for the illumination of the world-"

Two-Fold Celebration Begins Holy Week "And the Hebrew children waved palm branches, crying: "Hosanna!" "If the children should be .forced to stop thei~ praise, even the stones would cry out." This was the burst of joy that charged the people at Christ's entry into Jerusalem. The Church hopes and prays that we will be as enthused-though more last ingly so-as the children and the Lord will not have to raise up stones to praise Him. Sunday's celebration is two fold. First, it is joyous; Christ is received as a king and some of the Jews' cheering is bor rowed by the Church. Now it is amplified, clarified and under stood. This is not simply a favorite son of David, not only one of the royal family, it is the Christ, the Messias, the Redeemer. Then, in the second part of the ceremony, the Church is somewhat saddened when she contemplates the price paid for the exercise of Christ's king ship-the Passion.
