Court Ruling Allows States To Crack Down on Smut WASHINGTON (NC) - In a wide-ranging series of decisions the U. S. Supreme Court reversed its earlier trend towards permissiveness and opened the door for states to crack down on the sale and distribution of obscene or pornographic materials.

In a 5-4 decision June 21, the court rejected a controversial standard for determining obscenity that had been in use since a 1966 Supreme Court decision: Under that standard, only material "utterly without redeeming social value" could be judged to fall outside the First Amendment protection of free expression.

While rejecting that concept as "unworkable," the court set a new standard to be used in judging the' constitutionality of obscenity laws.

The court said that the laws

be limited to works which "taken as a whole, appeal to the prurient interest in sex, which portray sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and which, taken as a whole, do not have serious Iitera,ry, artistic, political, or scientific' value."

The court also stated that there is no need for a "national standard" or for "expert testimony" to determine what offends community standards. A jury trying an obscenity case may determine whether the material appea'ls to prurient interest or patently offends community standards, the court said.

Deeds, Not Words Says Pope VATICAN CITY (NC)-"More deeds and fewer words" are needed at all levals of the Church, Pope Paul told a group of cardinals living in Rome in a talk given the day after the 10th anniversary of his election to the papacy.

The cardinals had assembled in the Vatican to wish the Pope a happy anniversary. The Pope, as he has in the past, took the occasion to deliver a' rather long and detailed view and report on the hopes, aspirations and facts of life of the Church as he sees them from his unique position.

He began by saying that he would have preferred that the "'occasion be passed over in silence," ,but then announced that he wanted to talk about the Church "at this particular moment in time."

Pope Paul's reign began in the midst of the Second Vatican Council and has been conditioned by tha event. He touched first on his intention to carry out the programs of the council.

"The teaching of the council is far from having become a living reality for many, however much they may refer to it," he said. "Hence the full acceptance

'We cannot believe that the doctrine of separation of Church and State was ever intended by our forefathers to be interpreted in this manner," he said.

On June 25, the Supreme Court ruled that four forms of state aid to nonpublic schools in New York were unconstitutional because they involved the state in serving the advancement of religion - an action prohibited by the First Amendment's prohibition against the state establishment of religion.

The court also ruled that a Pennsylvan'ia tuition reimbursement law on the same grounds and affirmed a lower court decision that an Ohio tax credit law is unconstitutional.

Four Diocesan Priests Attend Stonehill Theological Institute

Archbishop .Casey Urges Priests Show Compasstion DENVER (NC) - The priest of today and tomorrow brings a secret to hiS ministry inherited from Christ, according to Archhishop James V. Casey of Denver.

In a speech at the annual meeting of the Presbyterium of the Archdiocese of Denver, Archbishop Casey said, ..!tis the secret of being able to see, to realize, to articulate his own wounds and then to bring'hope of healing to wounded men and women." .He warned priests against seeking to find the answers to' men's,.needs only thro'ugh specialization and professionalism. If they rely completely on this approach, he said, priests will lose most certainly the one quality of compassion which best identifies us as brothers of Christ...... " "For too long, most of us as priests have been afraid to let our wounds show out of fear that either we would seem to reveal a weakness or add burdens to an already overburdened people," he said. "But in our effort to hide our own wounds, we robbed ourselves of the appearance of 'being compassionate men." .

Mexican-Americans In reviewing the conflicts in his archdiocese during the past few years, Archbishop Casey warned' that the price for compassion can sometimes be suffering.

In commenting on conflict· bet.ween Mexican-Americans and his archdiocese, Archbishop Casey says, "they feel that the Church has neglected them for the Anglos. Certainly some of their charges are historically true but some arc charges raised in anger."

-~nd conflicts have occured on other fronts. The archbishop was

subpoened by two .priests whom he had freed f!"Om regular pastorduties to work with the poor.

Three priests, along' with six other anti-war activists, W'ere found guilty of trespassing on the groynds of the U.S. Air Force Academy, near Colorado Springs.

The group had conducted religious services at the academy to pray' for peace, protest the war in .Indochina and question the relationship between the military. and religious establishments on the base. They had been pre~iously banned from the Installatibn.

"They wanted me to testify that they were priests in good standing and that their protest was consist~nt with the teaching and ideals of the Church," the archbishop said. "And this I did."

More Conflict T.he D.enver archdiocese has also had its own variation of the' married priest when a man who left· the lJriesthood to marry, later returned to concelebrate a Mass.

"Of course I had to do something about that," the arcl1bishqp said, "and again more conflict."

"I have always been sensitive to the fact that angry and unfair remarks toward me and my office as head of the Church in our archdiocese reflect in a painful way on all of you and our' people," Archbishop Casey told the assembly of bishops and priests We could .have managed to have a "quiet" diocese, but I submit that ,it would have been the' quiet of a cemetery from which our more creative priests would have sought to leave." .

He feels that the Church in Denver is "live and growing" . and "we rejoice that so many zealous priests have chosen to join us in our pastoral ministry... a~d more are coming,"

Meeting Stresses Theology of Hope TOLEDO (NC)-An international meeting h~re in Spain on the merits of t.he "theology of liberation" ended by stressing "theology of hope."

In countries stirred by social injustice,.a statement from the meeting said, "the accent of Churchmen is on Hberation from the consequences of sin, like poverty, illiteracy, illness' and other inequities, but the root of these evils, sin itself, is treated slightly."

Among those attending were Cardinal Raul Silva of Santiago, Chile; Cardinal Marcelo Gonzalez of Toledo; Professor Wilhelm Weber of Munster Universit~ in Germany; and Auxiliary Bishop Alfonso Lopez Trujillo of Bogota, Colombia, secretary general of the Latin American Bishops Council (C~LAM).

As discussions progressed,and the' political implications of liberation unfolded, Europeans' and some Latin Americans' focused on "theology of hope" as the result of redemption from sin.

Pope Says Continued from Page One desire to follow with humble firmness." • The Pope noted that the first major reform of the council was the whole subject of liturgy, the way Catholics collectively and individually give worship to God. He said that the many reforms already accomplished in this field are "only an introduction," he added: "What we pastors of the Church must seek, without ever declaring ourselves satisfied, is that our efforts in the liturgical field must help modern man really to pray."

Pastoral Methods The 76-year-old Pope, who has occupied the "throne of Peter" for 10 'of the most turbulent years 'in the life of the modern Church, kept pointing to the future of the Church, rather than the past.

Speaking of the pastoral means by which priests and laymen are trying to talk to modern man, the Pope said: "Our pastoral methods are perhaps not always adapted to the needs of modern mall, who also has a hunger for God and a homesickness for his home, without knowing it or daring to realize it. Our words perhaps leave him indifferent."

Even though the council aimed at an updating of the Church's pastoral approach to men today, Pope Paul said, "If we make a sincere and serene examination of conscience, we cannot say that this updating has yet fully attained the objectives" that bishops, priests and laity were called on by the council to attain.

Seeks Synthesis Pope Paul said that the Church' today is trying to find a "happy synthesis of 'new and old: of tradition and reform, of conserving and updating the patrimony of faith, so that its unalterable riches may be presented convincingly to the men of our time."

With the end of the council, he said, there has been a flowering of teaching about the Church. But, he added, "this process has not always been combined with a healthy critical sense, with a pastoral criterion, disinterested research and with the scientific probity necessary in moments of great toil. Hence there arises the double duty of reaffirming the eternal and unalterable truths ... while adapting it to modern language anrl to new sensitivity."

House Committee Passes Postal Bill WASHINGTON (NC)-A bill which would provide significant relief for non-profit publications, 'including religio'us newspapers and magazines, was passed by the Post Office and Civil Service Committee of the House of Representatives.

The legislation would lessen the effect of postal rates increases which were imposed last year by the Postal Rates Commission and scheduled to take effect over the next eight years.

The new bill, HR 7554, was passed by the committee June 21 by a vote of 13 to 10. It now goes to the House rules committee, which must approve it before it goes to the full House for a vote.

Issue Catechism For Pre-School Children VATICAN CITY (NC) -Italy's bishops, meeting in their 10th annual general assembly, presented Catholic parents with an experimental catechism for preschool children.

The catechism, which must be explained by adults, seeks to introduce little children to Christ by means of the prophets and Christ's own words. The emphasis is on prayer. Gestures to accompany the prayers are also suggested.

Although several such amendments have already been proposed in Congress, the committee did not give support to one of those amendments or to specific wording of such an amendment. The committee indicated, however, that it intends to state its position on this question following consultat'ion with legal and constitutional specialists and persons concerned with protecting the rights of the unborn.

Attorneys William Ball of Harrisburg, Pa., and Charles Tobin of Albany, N.Y., representing the Committee on Law and Public Policy (CLPP) of the U.S. Catholic Conference, said specialists on the CLPP favor a "human rights" amendment.

They expressed willingness of their committee to work with the bishops and other interested parties in developing the best wording for such an amendment.

ions of the world Synod of Bishops.

An introductory speech by the conference president, Cardinal Antonio Poma of Bologna, was immediately contested by Bishop Luigi Bettazzi of Ivrea, who is regarded as a spokesman for Italy's less conservative bishops.

Cardinal Poma had tied the assembly's principal theme of evangelization to the frequent reception of the sacraments, but Bishop Bettazzi replied: "What must be primary is evangelization itself. The sacraments come later."

He asked: "What meaning have the sacraments for people of our time. What do these rites and these ceremonies mean?

Who understands them?

Cardinal Poma's answer came immediately but went unreported in the Vatican's media, or by the Vatican press office.

However, a frequent contributor on theological matters to the Vatican daily, L'Osservatore Romano, Father Gino Concetti, observed in its columns: Evangelization and sacraments are reall~ two moments of a single act, cif asingle mission. The Church must not only announce the Gospel. It must so act that message, announced, may penetrate into the awareness of people and transform 'itself into life, into life in Christ.

WASHlNGTON (NC) - Communication, organization, purpose, identity and the role of the layman were among the key problems discussed by pastoral council leaders and representatives at a workshop here.

The 'workshop, sponsored by the Catholic University of Americll' and the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), drew about 30 representatives from 17 dioceses around the country.

In a resolutions session closing the workshop, the participants reached a consensus that a national newsletter for pastoral council members should be developed. They also agreed that some form of deanery or area pastoral councils could serve as a valuable intermediate structure between the parish level and the diocesan level, especially in large-area dioceses. .

Father Robert G. Howes, coordinator of CARA's department of church management and organization and director of the workshop, stressed that such area councils must have adequate staff and budget to bE: effective.

"They're useful, but there are also problems of possible conflict," he said. "They should be complementary, to parish councils), not competitive."

(Criticize Changes In ·Penal Code BONN (NC) - Catholic family life organizations of West Germany expressed "shock and indignation" over the changes in the penal code concerning sexual offenses by the Bundestag (Parliament).

The changes, they. said in a joint statement, amount to a "destruction of the family" and will make effective protec,tion of youths impossible.

The penal code was revised recently to abolish criminal penalties for the publication and sale of pornographic materials, except where youngsters are ex}:osed to it or where the public is offended by open displays.

The changes also lessen the penalties for prostitution and .make homosexual activity no longer a' criminal offense except in the cases of relations between adults and minors of less than 18 years of age.

Publication and sale of pornographic material of a' sadistic nature is still subject to prosecution, and the law imposes penalties of up to a year in prison for glorifying violence or ·inciting racial hatred in literature or films.

Connivance in adultery, such as wife-swapping , is no longer a crime, but rape of the marriage partner becomes one.

According to the court's opinion, which was delivered by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, states must limi.t their legislation to "works which depict or describe sexual conduct" T"'e court also said that "that . conduct must be specifically defined by the applicable state law, as written or authoritatively construed."

Five cases were decided by the court, but the broad issues were defined in two ba.sic cases, Miller v. California and Paris Adult Theater v. Slaton a district attorney in Georgia.

In Miller v. California the basic issues of what can be called obscene and what c6nstitutes community standards were decided. In Paris Adult Theater v. Slaton the objection that obscenity laws invade the constitutional 'privacy for consenting adults was rejected.

The high court returned all five cases to the original courts for retrial in the light of the guidelines issued by the court.

In all five cases Chief Justice Burger, an appointee of President Richard M. Nixon, was jo-ined in .the majority opinion by tHe other three Nixon appointees to the court, Justices Harry A.' Blackmun, Lewis F. Powell, Jr., and William H. Rehnquist, and by veteran court member Byron R. White.

Justices William. O. Douglas and William J. Brennan Jr. filed Idissenting opinions in' each case and Justices Thurgood Marshali and Potter Steward joined Brennan in his dissents.

The bishops' committee - a 21-member unit of the U. S. Catholic Conference (USCC)said that the "dominant moral issue" in the United Farm Workers Union (UFWU) strike against Coachella, Calif., grape growers is the right of farm laborers to have free, impartially supervised elections to determine which union will represent them.

The committee, which includes 11 bishops and is headed by Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty of Newark, N. J., urged "men of good will to support" the boycott "in the name of social justice."

Objective

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur.s. June 28, 1973

Christianity is eminently an objective religion. For the most ,part it tells us of persons' and facts is simple words, and leaves that announcement to proluce its effect on such hearts as are prepared to receive it. .

-Cardinal Newman

Let the Governor Act . The legislative branch of Massachusetts government . has passed and sent to the Governor for his signature a bill allowing hospitals to decide whether abortions will be performed within their facilities.

The bill is an important one. Its signing by the Gove'rnor is a critical step in the protection of hospitals and their professional staffs from being forced to participate in what they believe to be humanly repugnant, medically unsound, and ethically and morally inadmissable.

The bill distinguishes between the recent United States Supreme Court's decision that a woman has a legal right to have an abortion ,-and the right of a' person to force a particular hospital or professional staff to perform the abortion.

It is unthinkable that a person who wishes to exercise this legal right of abortion should be in the position of forcing others to violate their conscieQces and the right they hav~ to refuse to participate in what they know to be an outrage against developing life and a contradiction of all that medicine stands for - the fostering and safe. guarding and advancement of life.

When the Governor signs this bill he will bring Massachusetts law into conformity with the Supreme Court decision which let stand that part of the Georgia law stating that no hospital had to admit a person for an abortion~ ..

It will be good to know that Massachusetts - the "cradle of liberty" - will not be in the position of violating the rights of hospitals and professional staffs, ~ill not be forcing persons to go against their consciences and beliefs, will not penalize those who seek to protect life and refuse to participate in its extinguishing.

The legislature has expressed the will of the people and has supported the right to life and the right not to be forced to take life. Now let the Governor act in the same spirit and for the same reasons.

Decision on Aid "We are confident that the inventive genius of the American democracy will ultimately find proper constitu'tional means for the children of the poor and middle class to have the same options and choices that are open to the children of the rich." This is the remark :of Rabbi Bernard Goldberg of Torah Umesorah - The National Society for Hebrew Day Schools - in lamenting the Supreme Court decision outlawing four New York State programs to pro-, vide financial assistance to private schools. ' The argument used in the majority 6-3 decision, as expressed by Mr. Justice Powell, is that the New York program. "advances' religion in that it subsidizes directly the religious activities of sectarian elementary and secondary schools."

On the other hand, Chief Justice Burger,in a dissenting opinion maintained that the constitutional ,ban on legislation affecting religion "does not forbid governments, state or Federal, from enacting a program of general welfare under which benefits are distributed to private individuals, even though -many of those individuals may elect to use those benefits in ways that 'aid' religious instruction or worship."

The decision strikes a serious blow at, those who maintain that parents have the right -to choose the type of education they desire for their children as long as this education achieves the public purpose of educating the child. It strikes a blow at those who insist that a monolithic system of education - public school education - should not have a monopoly in the c.ountry. It strikes a blow at those who maintain that parental choice for a private or . parochial system of education should not result in financial penalty to the parents or should not result in their being l,!beled as. divisive. It strikes a blow at those who wish a private or parochial school education for their children but are unable to pay for it with the result that the rich can put their choice into action while the middie class and poor can not.

It also raises the question as to other' services granted to private and parochial schools - fire and police protection, ,for example. Certainly it benefits religion if the fire department puts out a fire in a paroc;hial school. Perhaps the answer will be that the department will prevent the fire from spreading to buildings that are not Church-related but will ,~ no~ .,rotect religious edifices.

It is to be hoped that such optimism over the non-public -picture will be justified - and soon. But this Supreme Court decision on aid does little to paint a bright picture.

destroy our social fabric. Louise Summerhill is such a· person.

She is the founder of a move· ment called Birthright. In her heart and mind she truly believes that there had to be an alterna· tive to abortion. It had to be something practical that could be of real service to those who found themselves in this most agonizing situation. The proponents of abortion certainly have had their way. But what about the poor souls with~ a conscience and with moral beliefs concern· ing life and death? Where could they turn? ' What alternatives were being offered to counteract the highly publicized efforts of the legal death machines? True, there were statements of bishops and clergy, there were efforts on the part of many to counteract legal proceedings. But really what about the girl on the street who had to turn to someone for help?

Statements and admonitions are far removed from the ordinary person unless they are put into practical . application, Louise Summerhill did something about ,it: With the help of Clergy of various denominations, her own physician and a group of devoted women friends, she founded Birthright, an organiza· tion that works on the grass roots level offering a girl an alternative to abortion-assisting . with medical care, personal counseling, legal aid, financial planning, employment and clothing.

Birthright centers are staffed by self sacrificing volunteers who help to transform lives, helping women and girls face their decision with courage and dignity, changing faces that are confused and lonely into faces that smile with peace and tranquility.

In four years since its foundation, Birthright has grown from a little work of love in Toronto to become an international work of love. With over four hundred centers and expanding every day into new cities and towns, Birthright has proved that people do care and are willing to become active in seeking an alternative to abortion. Thousands of volunteers give service, time, money and effort because one woman did not sit back and throw up her arms in despair. Thousands of children now live because one person believed in the right of life to such an extent that she was willing to light. a candle rather that curse the darkness.

The work of Louise Summerhill is an example to the many who feel that as an individual they cannot affect the tide that sweeps around them. There can be little doubt that the future holds many challenges for the existence' of society itself. A mere example of this would be the efforts now underway in some circles to legalize mercy killing. Our world, our nation, our church needs more Louise Summerhills to emerge from their own cocoons to show us the way to the source of practical ideas to response to these human tragedies.

Honor Eucharist cuzco (NC)-This Inca imperial city witnessed the colorful display of pilgrims, saints, bands and jewelry in the traditional Corpus Christi procession honoring Eucharist.

By the thousands, Indian villagers descended upon Cuzco to gather in ancient brotherhoods.

Each group displayed its patron saint, a bejeweled sculpture adorned with vestments half Spanish, half Indian. ' After a high Mass at the Cathedral to commemorate the institution of the Eucharist, the people paraded St. Anne and St. Barbara, St. SebasHan, St. Jerome, St. Joseph and St. Chris· topher (still in their worship after a 1969 Vatican directive dropping him from the universal liturgical calendar), St. James. the terror of the pagan Moors in Spain's Middle ages, and othE1 saints.

Leading themall was Mama· cha - Inca for Little Mother.

Mary is the patron saint of Cuzco.

The huge procession centered around the main plaza in front of the cathedr·al, the old Inca "wajaypata" or funeral square.

As the saints made their way through the crowds, the Corpus Christi was brought out, inside an impressive monstrance, by the bishop and a picturesque escort of tribal chiefs and church· men. At that time hells r,ang and fireworks exploded from several sites around the Plaza. -

Proposes"Strategy for Church in England

LONDON (NC)-"The Church 2000," a report suggesting Church strategy for the' next quarter century in England and Wales, proposes greater consultation on episcopal appointments, more highly trained priests, smaller dioceses and greater use of communications media.

The report-drawn up by a joint working group from the English and Welsh bishops and the National Conference of Priests, a .body elected by the diocesan clergy - proposes a streamlined "outward - going" Church whose members are inspired by ecumenism and are conscious of the Church's purpose and mission in a country in which few are active in any church.

The report suggests more concentration on the care of Catholics in non-Catholic schools, more adult religious education and possibility of developing ecumenical rather than Catholic schools.

The report will be discussed by the bishops and the National Conference of Priests at their separate meetings this year. It is intended also to stimulate public discussion 'in preparation for a more wide-ranging report.

The report says that society is no longer hostile to the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

It is indifferent.

The chief aim of the Church, the report says, must be "to go out to the changing world with Well Adjusted the message of Christ" with new To be well adjusted to an end attitudes-out-going rather than we must know and desire it; the defensive, showing different virdesire demands that we are in tues and using a different stratlove with this end and are con- egy than in the past.

With ready-to-wear designers realizing the value of a whole coordinated look, rather than isolated pieces, the consumer will find it much easier to pick a whole season's wardrObe in one shopping trip and at one stop. Shoppers will find that a sportwear department may have one section given over to either a designer or a design house.

There one will find slacks, jackets, tops, skirts, and even dresses ,that can be mixed and matched.

SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT: The 300 children who' live at Sacred Heart orp:hanage in Da Nang, South Vietnam, have had very little to smile about in their' short lives. If their parents were not ~dlled in the war, they abandoned the youngsters or brought them to the orphanage saying they were too poor to support children. But at the institution, ,the· children can find something to smile about-thE! love of the seven Sisters and 15 laywomen who take care of them. NC Photo.

Blll Blass" who designs a sportswear line under the Blassport label, has been one of the first to appeal to--the coordinated woman.

However, if the more exclusive designers recognize the value of designing coordinated outfits, those 'who cater to us average Mrs. Americas should soon also see its worth.

Budgetwise, sticking with one color scheme for a season is a boon. As I mentioned previously, accessories can be kept to a minimum (this is great too if you're traveling., and your dollar seems to stretch a little bit further because you get a number of interchangeable outfits from a selected few pieces. Here too, with less to buy you can afford better quality.

Watch for sales and even if you didn't buy the blouse that went with the skirt and jacket, keep going back to the store and checking on it. If you're lucky, when they go on sale (and most i.tems do) you can add another piece to your planned wardrobe.

In these days of unbelievable .inflation every dollar counts, therefore shop as carefully for food and look for the same type your clothes as you do for your of values.

A She's just naturally a C He's sick of eating ham"good kid."

B Her grandmother offered burgers.

The school guidance counselor her a $2 "reward" (better wants to see BOTH of you. known as "bribe") if she'd do the job ... 'because grandmother is tired of hearing mother complain that "these kids never do anything without being nagged."

C She dropped her math book, and the new boy in school picked it up, and it has her address in it, and he might return it ...and she might ask him in: The kids are up for school before the alarm goes off.

A They are always .pj.Jnctual regarding their responsibilities.

B The principal told them if they were late once more they'd be shot.

C Summer vacation has started ... they just never got around to telling you.

Your son's teacher wants to see you regarding his going to summer school.

A He's shown such aptituje, they want him to go for advanced studies.

U He knows you want to paint the house, and you want him to help. He volunteered for summer school.

Billboard Message Seeks Vocations OAKLAND (NC)--A message on billboards in the Oakland dio~ cese is attracting unusual attention.

The message is brief and to the point: "For People's Sake ...

Help Christ. Become a PriestBrother-Sister. Diocese of Oakland. Phone 893-4711."

The idea is that of a young priest, Father Jerrold F. Kennedy.

He told a meeting of Oakland's Serra Club, which promoted vocations, "perhaps modern and effective , but dignified, advertising is the answer to attracting more men to the priesthood.

"We're discovering that many young people today are interested in careers in Church service, but we have not reached them effectively" he said. "Our involvement in media is an attempt to reach out to these young men and women."

A He's never met such a welladjusted, diligent, logical, pc'rfectly delightful youngster. He just wants to meet the parents who did such a terrific job raising such a child.

B He has discovered two "weaknesscs" in your child ... which you already knew about; three other "weaknesses" ... that. sound so unlike your kid, you wonder if he's got the right child; and five other "weaknesses" that you never heard of.

C The guidance counselor needs help ... and thought you could recommend a good psychiatrist.

Your daughter's term paper is all done, and typed, a week lIhead of time.

A She did it right away, months ago, when it was first assigned.

B The last time she came to you at 10 P.M. and asked, "Hey, Mom, could you please do a bit of typing for me ... just six or eight pages ... and I need it tomorrow?" You said, if she did it again ... you'd murder her!

C She found a kid from last year's _class who never turned in his term paper, and she bought it for a song.

Your son offers to repair his sister's bike.

A 'He knows how. The bike needs fixing.

B He doesn't feel like studying.

C Sabotagc.

If you got mostly "A's" for your answers, you're unreal. If you got mostly "B's", your family is probably normal. And if you got mostly "C's" ... relax!

Your family is just like mine!

Pope Paul Receives Four New Bishops VATICAN CITY (NC) - All four of _ Czechoslovakia's new bishops were received. in audience by Pope Paul VI June 18.

Each of the four conferred privately with the Pope.

Three of the new bishops are from the region of Slovakia: Bishop Josef Eeranec of Banska Bystrica, Bishop Jan Pasztor of Nitra and Bishop Julius Gabris, administrator of the Apostolic Administration of Trnava. The fourth is from the region of Moravia: Bishop Josef Vrana, apostolic administrator of 010mouc.

All four were named Feb. 27 and ordained within a week.

Bishop Vrana was authoritatively reported to have been the choice of Czechoslovakia's Communist regime, and his titles of bishop and of apostolic administrator of a See that is an archdiocese are regarded as signs of the Vatican's serious reservations about his appointment.

(Bishop Gabris also has the title of apostolic administrator, but his See is what the Vatican calls an apostolic administration and is not a diocese).

Clark explained that the 1963 decision in Abington vs. Schempp banned religious exercises, not the 'Study about religion.• While prayers and the dogmas of narticular religion were prescribed, the court did not outlaw the study of the impact of religion on civilization, literature and other aspects of man's life: he said.

Clark, an active member of the Presbyterian Church, said that the decision was one of the most misundel1stood during his Supreme Court tenure. The decision has been slowly ·implemented and often circumvented, he said, and in fact" in many areas of the United States they still have prayers in the schools."

Cardinal Urges Common Crusade

THE ANCHORThurs., June 28; 1973

Card.nal Heenan Cites Leadership Of Pope Pa'ul LONDON ~NC)-lf the whole Church had followed the lead of Pope Paul Vl after the second Vatican Council it would not have been t6rn by' the subse· quent liturgitiiland "theological disputes, Carginal John Heenan of Westminster said in a pastoral letter issued June 17.

In the letter Cardinal' Heenan thanked the Pope for launching another Holy Year. The cardinal said that people today are showing a hearty distaste for controversy. They want to stop arguing and listen to God's voice in prayer, he said. .

"There are two extreme views about changes in the Church," the cardinal said in his letter.

"One is that everything new is good; the other that nothing new is good. Both are wrong.

"The only true Catholic atti-. tude is to accept joyfully both the new and the old treasures offered by the Church. The golden rule is to give loyal obedience Lo the Pope. . . _ "No modern Pope has been more criticized by his own children than Pope Paul. But many thoughtful people, both Catholic and non-Catholic, regard Pope Paul as one of the greatest men of the twentieth century."

The. Cardinal said that after the second Vatican Council Pope Paul saw that it was in danger of becoming an excuse fgr denying some of the truths of faith...

'Turn to God' "Unhappily his Credo of the People' of God was greeted in some circles with mockery. It is unlikely that anyone will mock Pope Paul's Holy Year. It is the, same call made by Pope John through the council. It is a call to turn to God in the simpi.icity · of our hearts asking him to renew the face of the earth."

Cardinal Heenan said that in the autumn he hopes to open a new pastoral center to which priests and people will be able to go for retreats, courses and parish outings.' Seventy acres of · land and a church at present owned by Anglican nuns is being purchased for this purpose at ,London Colney; about 20 miles north Qf central London.

The Anglican nuns, he said, were so anxiou's for the property to come into Catholic hands that they did not offer it on the commercial market: Non-Catholics, the cardinal added, will always be welcome to enjoy the benefits · of the centers.

Holy Cross Fathers Elect Superior PORTLAND (NC)-A law professor at the University of Notre Dame has been elected provincial superior of the Indiana Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross.

Father William M. Lewers, 46, was elected for a six-year term at a meeting of province delegates here in Oregon at the University of Por.tland.

A specialist in international law, he received both his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Illinois and did advance work in law at Yale University. He entered the Holy Cross community 'in 1960 and was ordained in 1965.

POP~ ON 'HIS ANNIVERSARY: Pope Paul \vaves to a cheering' crowd Thursday as he' arrives, at a working class parisll outside Rome to celebrate a Corpus Christi Mass on the 10th anniversary of his. election. The Pontiff only mentioned the event in passing.

A full obServance of .the event isscl:1eduled for Saturday when the Pope was to open. a I new contemporary art museum and a~tend a concert conducted by Leonard Bernstein.

Priest Says Sex Edufcation Inevitable COLLEqEVILLE (NC)-Every child in the country will ,get some kind of sex education by the time he's 12 or 13 years old -no matter what .parents, school . or Church1do, according to a21year veteran in the field of family life education.

F~ther Walter Imbiorski, a priest who directs that phase of education in the Chicago archdiocese, said "the question is whether you get the positive elements in a society-the home, the school and the Churchteaching it, or whether you leave· it to the pious pornographers."

Father Imbiorski, who was a participant in the workshop for Marriage and Family Life Educa- . tion' at St. John's University here in Mirmesota, said "you will be hard pressed to find anybody, religious or secular, who is against family life education."

"Previously we lived in a static society," he said. "Everybody, did what their parents did, and this was all the family life education you'd need. They modeled it for you; they showed you what to do in various circumstances."

Minor Aspect ,Father Imbiorski said that sex education in schools is a "very minor aspect - only one twentieth - of family life education which is a broader and richer concept."

And he believes that the controversy about sex education in the Catholic schools is "highly qver-rated." There is almost no

controversy, according to Father Imbiorski, except that wh'ich is engendered by one of two organized g~oups-groups which are against~ any form of change.

"TM program of sex education, When it is presented well with adequate teacher training and deep invotvement by parents, goes in smoothly and ,easily with no negative feedback of any kind," he said.

Father Imbiorski thinks there are "still a lot of people who feel the best proteetion their child can have is ignorance, in terms of sex education. This isn't trUe."

Preldte Honor.~d For Leadershi~t NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Arch· bishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans was honored at the ceremonies marking the start of the fifth annual Institute for Religious Communications (IRC) at Loyola, University here.

The citation was given "in tribute; to his years of courageous leadership in the commuications· apostolate of the Catholic Church ..." ,The IRe is a national institute for multimedia training of priests, religious and laity. It is a part of the Communications department of Loyola University and has held annual training sessions since 1969.

Archbishop Hannan was the founder of the program.

"'We are living in a society which needs not only for children to have 1m integrated view of how sex fits into the higher spiritual values in life," he said, "but we need children who will become teenagers and adults who can contribute a Christian vision towards sexuality, and hopefUlly reverse the trend of some kinds of" things that we see in the -X-rated movies and all of the things that are trivial· izing and cheapening sex.in our society.

"You can't do that by hiding and saying it isn't there. You do that by saying we have enough faith in the Christian view of life to know that God also cre· ated sexuality, and' that we can integrate it into our religious system, our spiritual values, and say something to American society about it."

BOGOTA (NC)-Cardinal Ani· baJ Munoz Duque of Bogota warned against spiraling inflation and said "no one can 'tell what a people spurred by hunger will do."

"We are talking about 80 per cent .of the population, for which inflation has made almost impossible to tend to _their own daily needs, including the min· imum of calories for survival," the prelate said...

He also spoke on the politiCal situation in an interview with the national radio network here.

Ten months before presidential elections in Colombia the two main. leading parties, Conservatives and Liberals, appear diviqed by internal strife. .

"Citizens should put - aside political bickering and instead devote their efforts to social re~ form and domestic peace," the cardinal said.

"The present situation de· mands a common crusade," he added, 'blaming the leaders of both parties for the high cost of living.

Conservatives and Liberals reached a pact in 1957 to equally distribute top government posts a'S a means to end rivalries marked by a decade of violence which cost 200,000 lives.

Relations among party leaders of the National Front, as the pact is known are again tense because of mounting pressure from the people and discontent with economic and social policies.

Scores Karp's Simplistic Criticism of Labor Unions

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. June 28, 1973

Labor leaders-like bishops, college presidents, cor~ poration executives, and other Establishment figures tend to be hyper-sensitive to criticism. That's regrettable, but from their point of view partially understandable-or so it seems to me. In their more honest moments, most and to put the brakes on social labor leaders would probably and economic reform. admit that some of the criti'Wards of Government'

cism directed at them is fully deserved, but they feel that much of it is either unwarranted or grossly oversimplified. They

By

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS

are particularly sensitive to the steady flow of criticism being directed at them these days by self-styled "liberal'" or "radical" intellectuals. They have my sympathy in this regard. While some of this criticism is reasonably fair and o!?jective and is intended to be helpful to the labor movement, much of it is ivorytower hokum.

Academic Theorizing It is little wonder that labor leaders object to the latter kin~ of criticism. As ,Bok and Dunlop point out in their recent study, Labor and the Community,. "in the eyes of the labor leaders, intellectuals seem content to impose their romantic visions on issues and events without taking care to investigate ,the facts. Intellectuals, to labor, seem willing to applaud every· effort of young activists and radical groups without bothering to ask whether these activities have any lasting effect in alleviating pov-' erty or eradicating injustice.'

They overlook the difficult efforts of the AFL-CIO to elect the candidates and enlist the support that are necessary to bring about enduring legislative reforms and the taxes to support new programs."

Walter Karp's new book, Indispensable Enemies: The Politics of Misrule in America (Saturday Review Press, New York, $8.95), fits this description to a T. It's a classic example of the kind of academic theorizing which drives pragmatic labor leaders right up the wall and understandably tends to make them rather paranoid.

The overall thesis of Karp's iconoclastic study of American politics is simplicity itself. He argues very agressively that collusion, not competition, characterizes the relationship between the Republican and Democratic parties and that winning and losing elections are equally effective mean~ by which the conservative leaders of both parties gain power to control the elected representatives of the citizenry

Shadow No vice is found but in the shadow of some virtue.

-John Scotus

In developing this basic argument, Mr. Karp goes so far as to say rather bitterly that Senator McGovern was a willing front for the Democratic· party bosses in 1972. I find that rather mindboggling , but it's a' veritable model of intellectual sophistication and self-restraint compared to some of the things that the incredibly self-assured Mr. Karp says about the labor movement and its alleged subservi.ence to the Democratic party bosses.

He says, in summary, that American unions have always been the wards of government, that whatever issues the Democratic syndicate cares to raise, the unions obligingly propound, that whatever political collusion leads, the union chiefs faithfully follow, and that their "secret opposition" to social and economic reform parallels that of machine liberals in the Democratic party.

Don't go away. Mr. Karp is just getting started, and the worst is yet to come.

'Degrade Free Citizens' Karp alleges that American unions have always been and presumably always will be opposed to general welfare legislation. They are determined, he says, "to control and downgrade free citizens' to render them politically inert, divided and ignorant, to disguise from them in every way the relevance of politics to their lives, to cripple their capacity and willingness to act on their own behalf, to see them-and all citizens-bereft of protective and beneficial laws and of the very hope of winning· them."

In a word, "As children of public darkness, the trade unions," says Mr. Karp, "are absolutely corrupt. (They) did not become corrupt. They did not betray their early promise. They were born dead, and the only tragedy of trade unionism is the waste of brave men who mistakenly believe in it."

What is it about, certain ivorytower intellectuals that leads them to think they can get away with that kind of undisciplined and outrageously supercilious rhetoric? And how do they manage to get their hokum published under responsible auspices and favorably reviewed by their peers in respectable journals?

I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know that Mr. Karp's simplistic cniticism of the labor movement in his new book is more offensive and more out of touch with reality than anything I have ever before encountered during the 30-odd years that I have been following the literature in this f.ield.

When V'acatio,nin9, Seek Taste Adventures' Too

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick

\

The June garden is at its peak now and it is quite beautiful and satisfying; it is not perfect and there is .still a great deal to do but it is a joy to work in at this time of year. The primary tasks now are to keep the weeds -in check and to watch the Trying foods is easier to acrequirements of individual complish when you're in a forplants for water and fertil- eign country because the food izer so that they are aUorded you're, familiar with is much the opportunity to grow at a normal rate rather than be set back by neglect.

harder to come by. However, even in this country various states have, particular favorites.

Watering becomes a nightly chore at this time of year. We have suggested at times in the past that watering is not sprinkling. One good soaking can last a week, but sprinkling does more harm than good in the long run.

There are no general water requirements for the garden, since individual plants need varying amounts of water, but all plants must be watched so that whatever water they need is provided for them.

If you're' aware of this, and are searching for different taste treats, you ,will find them.

Still Needed Fertilizing is often overlooked in the flowering garden because most people assume 'that it's done early in the Spring and then is to be forgotten. Of course, this is not true, because many plants make their greatest growth in late June and early July and definitely benefit from added nutrition' about this time of year.

Right now, for instance, I give our mums a second dose' of fertilizer in the form of pelletlike granules that are relatively slow-acting. A water· soluble fertilizer is excellent on a period, ic" basis for annuals, windowboxes and potted plants as they show signs of wilting or slowing down production. '

j

Don't be distracted by the luxurious growth you observe in the' garden now. It may be lovely to look at and admiration of your roses may keep you from tending plants in need, of nourfshment and water. By the time you get around to them, they may have been set back to the point where they will require a great deal of time to refurbish themselvees to the point where they are healthy and thriving again.

In the Kitchen Vacation -time is almost here and despite the gas shortage, families will be traveling. One of the joys' of journeying even within our own country is that of sampling regional foods. (Of course, our kids don't want to stop any place but Hamburger Heaven.) This youthful emphasis on ground.. . beef does curtail our gourmet leanings but on at least one night during a trip with the children we try to eat at a nice restaurant that features the , cuisine of the area. '

Half the trouble about modern man is that he is educated to understand ,foreign languages and misunderstand foreigners. . The traveller sees what he sees; the tripper sees what he' has come to see.

Bishop Casaldaliga called the trial "a farce," and -said the pr,iest was, not involved in a shootout between the settlers and company gua"ds in March of last year (The shootout was over land rights).

"Jentel is out of circulation, but -another agitator will show up for slire," the govemor said.

The bishop charged that the governor has financial 'interests in the lumber company and other businesses the region.

Fragelli has adyocated the establishing of a joint Church-state committ,ee to deal with social and economic problems in Mato Grosso. Some bishops agreed to the plan and he blamed Casaldaliga for stalling the plan.

By Sharing' Suffering In the effort, to create a Christian conscience open to the whole issue of justice, the Bishops' Synodal Document, underlines the need for practical education in justice. This means that the idea of sharing and generosity cannot be given only out of books and accepted only in theory. The took her out of the school into the streets of the slums. child, the adolescent, indeed, She began her work at the adults all through their lives point where so many good and

must know about justice by experiencing it and living it in a direct, concrete and inescapable way.

By BARBARA WARD

Perhaps the most vivid and moving example of this kind of education comes to us from the life of Mother Theresa. Her first period of work as a missionary nun in India was concerned with educating the daughters of Indian Catholic families. In gen-, eral, it must be said that families which could afford convent education for their children were not among the poorest and, in the Indian scene were often drawn from the higher castes of society.

charitable efforts end theirs. Her fir?t concern was not with the living who could be helped. It was with Ule dying who, in material and realistic terms, were beyond help.

She rented a place to which people lying at the point of death' in the dirty gutters could be carried to simple pallets and cared for with all gentleness and respect to the moment of their death. She ended the stupefying indignity of feeling life drain away to the sounds of traffic, indifferent voices, street cries and market clamor. She substituted the quiet, peace and love of companionship and prayer.

So wrote 14-year-old Anne Frank from her hiding place in Amsterdam in February 1944.

A year later, in March 1945, she died in the Belsen concentration , camp.' : Anne was a Jew. She shared the pain and persecution so many of her fellow Jews have endured for some 30 centuries. She exemplified the quite joy that seems to characterize the faith of the Jews in times of peace and 'pain from the days of Abraham, Moses' and David, to the present.

Joy and a sense of humor seem to typify' Jewish faith eyen dur~ ing the ;blackest hours.

II

The joy of Jews is typically rooted in the earth, in the good things ofbife, because their God creates all that is and -takes an active part in their experience. A famous Jewish writer, Elie Weisel, wrote: "To be a Jew is to opt for God and creation alike -it is a refusal to oppose' one to the other."

From Babylon to Belsen faith'ful Jews have preserved their faith in the goodness of man and the world as they kept faith with God. They appear to -have done so with a smile.. reflecting an enduring inner peace arid joy.

Joy. in Festivals Jews believe that while God utterly transcends this world" he is intimately invoived in each phenomenon of nature' and every human experience. Although Jews respect God's awes6me holiness to such an extent that they do not even utter his name, they know that he delights in the company of people. They praise him for "producing bread from the earth and wine to gladden men's hearts" (Psalm 104:15). ' The major Jewish f,estivals to this day combine the enjoyment of life's good things with the joy of knowing God's presence. The festival of' Passover (Pesach) celebrates the freeing presence of God today as in the days' of Moses, and at. the Seder mears Turn to Page Eig~~een

The Sunday Observance

Bishop ,G. Emmet Carter and his diocesan worship commission in London, Ontario, Canada have given good leadership through these past years of liturgical renewal. A recent publication' on ' "The Sunday Observance" illustrates the kind of high qua!ity work we have come to expect from them.

Paraphrase "Why does the Church make so much of the Eucharist?"

The Church believes that both in Old and New Testament days, it 'is God who has taken 'the lead. The Sunday Eucharis't; stands not merely as mati's invention but as a God-given and privileged place of e,ncounter between Lord and 'man. Here God "calls man together into his spe, cial presence, to hear his word, to respond in faith, and, to seal By a :telationshipof love with him in the Body and Blood of Chdst."

"Yes. Nothing has changedhf this regard at all. Yo'u see, the obligations come from the very.;.

Landslide Majorities Lead Presidents Into Trouble

Jewish Religion

The Watergate affair is one more example of a fascinating phenomenon of American history: presidents with landslide majorities usually get into trouble. Franklin Roosevent was reelected in 1936 with an overwhelming vote.

Shortly thereafter he. began his disastro~:~ attempt to ceived by overwhelming mandates - and most presidents pack the United States Su- seem incapable of resisting the preme Court., -and While he temptation-is going to neglect

and the steam promptly went out of his never very dynamic administration-complete ",ith such disasters as the U2 and t he abortive Paris summit with Krushchev.

Lyndon Johnson had a mam~ moth victory in 1964, and scarcely was the campaign finished be, fore he was presiding over a disastrous escalation in Vietnam.

Within a few months of his second inaugural, Richard Nixon is well on his way toward becoming the most unpopular president since Harry Truman, and perhaps the most unpopular sinc3 A'1drew Johnson. , Same Power Sructures Is it just a coincidence, or does this phenomenon say something important about American politics?

A president with a large popular mandate usually forgets that for all practical purposes a win by 60 per cent of the' popular vote does ,not significantly alter patterns of power. Since Congressional voting patterns are relatively stable, presidential landslides rarely change the patterns of Congressional representation decisively.

The alignment in Congress may be slightly different, but still the 'power structures, the veto groups, the alliances in the Congress are substantially the same. The federal bureaucracy is unchanged, and the social political, and econo.nic structure of the country is urichanged.

The president may have a mandate (though it may equally be only a no-confidence registration against his opponent) but, as we say in Chicago, his mandate and 45c will get him a ride on the Chicago Transit Authority. It carries with it no extra political power (as a landslide would in a parliamentary system) and only a transitory amount of politioal prestige.

Unpolitical Technicians Mr. James Madison and his colleagues designed a constitutional system for this country in which the leadership could govern only if it was capable of building coalitions. Whether you have 52 per cent, of the popular vote or 60 per cent, the system is still such that you need to have a coalition to be able to govern effectively. But a man who permits himself to be de-

the difficult, tiresome, thoroughly unsatisfyi,ng task of tending to and maintaining his coalition.

Franklin Roosevelt thought that he could dispense with the Supreme Court; Dwight Eisenhower seemed to think he could dispense with government altogether; Lyndon Johnson thought he could govern without bothering to inform Congress or the American people what he was up to; and Richard Nixon apparently thought he could dispense with the courts, the Congress, the bureaucracy, the cabinet, and even the Republican party.

He imagined that he could control the country with the aid of a ruthlessly loyal clique of unpolitical technicians with whom he surrounded himself in the White House. In each case the mandate led to a disaster, and how great the disaster was depended in substantial part on how resilient the president was.

Franklin Roosevelt, at least, had a way of bouncing back.

System Survives There is considerable question in the present mess as to whether the American system has stopped working. My own guess is that if James Madison were around to be interviewed (off the record, of course) by the Washington Post, he would be delighted with the way the system had worked. He huilt in two checks and halances to restrict presidential power: The Congress and the courts in the persons of Sam Ervin and John Sirica did exactly what Madison would have expected them to do. The informal check, the press, legitimated not so much by the Con,stitution as by"the Bill of Rights, also functioned as Madison would have hoped-though even he might have been embarrassed by the unholy glee with which the press is demolishing Mr. Nixon and his cronies.

Did we "luck out" then, or did the system work the way it was supposed to? I much prefer the latter explanation, but it still ought to be clear that a heavy price has been paid and will continue to be exacted in the years ahead. The checks and balances system may be the only way that a country the size of ours can be governed, but when the brakes have to be slammed to the floorboards, the machine grinds to a halt for a time. The system survives, indeed, but the trauma is severe. .Even a system as resiIient' as the one Mr. Madison designed cannot absorb too many such traumas.

Hopefuly, future presi~ents will learn that no matter what their plurality is, they govern a country that was designed for something like 55-45 per cent elections in which the goveriing president has only a very thin edge over the opposition. The' man who thinks he has more than that is headed for trouble. © 1973, Inter/Syndicate

MOSQUE OF ABRAHAM: "In the city itself (Hebron) is the Mosque of Abraham built over the traditional site of the Cave of Machpelah." The mosque of Abraham contains his body along with those of Isaac and Jacob and their wives. The coffins beneath the ancient building have not been opened since the Crusades. NC Photo. .

In the Lands of t'he Bible Continued from Page Sixteen sian monastery and pilgrim hospice."

A more likely locat,jon of the site of Abraham's tents appears to he at the site of ruins known as Haram Ramet et Khalil, which means The Enclosure of the High Place of the Friend. The ruins were excavated by Gennan archeologists who found that the buildings contained in the vast enclosure belong to five different periods ranging from before Christ to the time of Mohammed in the 7th century.

Two towers within the enclosure date to the Israelite period (1200-600 B.C.) and deeper excavations have yielded a series of terra-cotta objects which date from the time of· Abraham. It seems possible that Haram Ramet et Khalil is indeed the site of Abraham's tents, although it is certainly not "opposite" the Cave of Machpelah as "the Bible claims. So the question has yet to be determined definitively.

Cave of Machpelah There 'is greater certainty concerning the site of the Cave of Machpelah. The. cave was purchased hy Abraham on the death of Sarah to be used as a burial cave. Tradition holds that in the cave are ,buried, Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, his wives Rebecca and Leah, and Jacob whose body was brought back from Egypt (Gen. 50:13).

In recording the purchase, of the cave and the surrounding land, Gen. 23 provides an interesting ,example of Oriental bargaining. The significance of the purchase is that it was the first recorded ownership of land in the promised land by the ancestors of Israel. By the transaction, the semi-nomadic Abraham became a landholder.

The location of the cave is not absolutely certain but long time

tradition has ,held that the cave beneath the Mosque of Abraham in Hebron is the burial place of Patriarchs and their wives. The Mosque was built as a church by the crusaders, who opened the cave in 1119 and then closed it up again after examining the coffins and bones. No examination has been permitted since th'at time and entrance to the cave itself 1s forbidden, although there is an opening in the floor of the Mosque through which the cave may be viewed.

Hebron as Capital In the absence of examination of . the burial cave by modern archeological techniques, biblical scholars are unable to state with certainty whether the cave heneath the Mosque ~s indeed the Cave of Machpelah, or merely another cave around which has grown up the pious legend. In any event, ,unlike the site of the Terebinth or Oak, there is no other site in the area that is claimed to be the burial cave.

There are many other references to Hebron in the Bible, including 1ts important role as the first capital and site of the coronation of King David (2 Sam. 5:1ff). It was probably destroyed by the RO{l1ans during the Jewish Wars (68 A.D.) ,and was abandoned for several centuries.

ing from the professional historians, such as Monsignor John , Tracy Ellis.

Thus, he traces the phenomenal increase in Catho~ic numbers from 1790, when John Carroll was consecrated as the first Catholic bishop with an American see. At that time there were fewer than 30 priests in the whole country. When Carroll died in 1815, there were 100 priests. By 1860 there were 43 dioceses, 45 bishops, some 2,000 priests. And the growth continued, mostly by immigration.

He points out that Carroll, belonging to a long-established and prominent family, was at home and at ease in the American scene and system and had some acute ideas as to what the character of the Church in America should be.

The second was VaticalJ II, with its accent on ecu· menism. These factors he consid· ers at some length, with much more stress on the second, while granting the first its unique impact.

In the 1960s everything changed. Thus, Catholic schools, instead of increasing in numbers,

Bless and prosper the work of our hands."

The faith of Jews, mar~ed even lin the midst of persecution and suffering by joy and appreciation of the good things of life, can be a stimulus for us Christians to look at our own faith.

Warns Religious Of Charismatic Renewal Program

THE ANCHOR•Thurs., June 28, 1973

Episcopal Bishop Decries Abortion

CHICAGO (NC)-"The charismatic renewal is going to cause religious orders problems," a leader of the charismatic movement told religious superiors ' here.

Some immature Religious will use the charismatic renewal as a tool, Ralph M,artin, director of the International Communications Office for Catholic Charismatic Renewal, told the Assembly of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men at St. Xavier College here.

Many times, Martin said, the problems will be psychological, and superiors should not blame the charismatic movement. They should realize instead that some independent members of the movement "will use it for their own purposes." . Martin told the superiors that they could aid the movement by dealing strongly and effectively with the problem. "Just tell them they're not being Christian," he suggested as a first step.

COAXING SMILES FROM MOTHERS: Cardfnal John Krol of Philadelphia coaxes smiles from a group of parishioners, outside the Church of the Redeemer in Dundalk, a border town in the Irish Republic. During a Mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh, Northern Ireland, the cardinal told the congregation, "I want you to know that you have our understanding, our sympathy and our compassion. You also have the pledge of our continuing prayers." NC Photo.

'Saved Vocations' "At base," he said, "the charismatic renewal is ... supportive of what religious orders are all about.'. . . The one thing it will do is strengthen . . . the desire for community," Martin said.

In this respect, he said, the charismatic renewal "has saved many vocations."

Malltin outlined the growth of the charismatic renewal from 1900 when a non-Catholic woman felt God in her and asked her, friends to pray over her. The incident led to the laying on of hands and speaking in tongues.

It became the bases for the founding of the Pentecostal Church.

"About 200,000 Catholics around the world are now involved in the charismatic movement," Martin said.

Cardinal Krol Praises Irish Faith ARMAGH (NC) - Cardinal John Krol, president of the U. S..

National Conference of Catholic Bishops offered Mass here following a tour of strife-ridden Belfast with Irish Cardinal William Conway., In a voice choked with emotion, Cardinal Krol departed momentarily from the prepared text of his sermon at St. Patrick's Cathedral to tell the congregation of almost 1,000 that he had visited the devastated areas of Belfast.

"I want you to know," he said, "that you have our understanding, our sympathy and our compassion. You also, have the

'Never Abandoned' In a Mass offered for peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland Cardinal Krol said: "We are persecuted but never abandoned. We are struck down, but never destroyed. Continually we carry about in our bodies the dying of Jesus, so that in our hodies the life of Jesus also may be revealed."

"Certainly," the cardinal said, "no people have endured greater hardships than the Irish-and no people have sustained greater faith."

Pope On Ann'iversary Tells World To Center Thoughts on Christ

People entering 'the charismais movement, he explained, react in different ways.

Some show a new, real "desire for prayer." Others want to tell people about Christ. But some, he admitted, "appear to get worse ... with less control over avoiding temptation.'"

Charismatic renewal could be embraced by the Church under the "pluralism un1brella" which, he explained, "really is the wisdom from God for now."

Martin 'also noted that the Church often takes the "political approach" of taking in all groups to "keep the body together."

"We shouldn't be a.fraid to change," a religious order when an order wants to change, he concluded.

pledge of prayers."

"Neither famine nor persecution nor oppression has been able to smother the flame of faith in the Irish breast," Cardinal Krol said. This faith, the cardinal said, has been carried throughout the world by the Irish.

Cardinal Krol said that four million Irish Catholic immigrants came to the United States, and that seven of his predecessors as head of the Philadelphia See were Irish-born or of Irish descent.

He also praised "the spiritual service" of priests of Irish descent.

Concluding his sermon in the high vaulted gray stone cathedral which stands on a hill overlooking this ancient town of 10,000, Cardinal Krol said.

"There'ds no greater contribution you can make to the world than holiness of life, meekness of heart, gentleness of spirit and quiet courage in your religious conviction. As I witness the ferv-or of your faith I am convinced that the world needs the example of your life and witness of your love-an exampie and a witness which no earthly hardship can overcome because they are an example and a witness sustained by God." Cardinal Krol was guest of honor at a dinner-at the residence of Cardinal Conway attended by the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Arma,gh, ·Dr. George Simms.

WINTER PARK (NC) - The, Episcopal bishop of Central Florida has called on his people to respond to the U. S. Supreme Court abortion ruling by giving "witness to the sacredness of human lift:."

"We can do all in our power bYe God's grace' and guidance to provide the finest alternatives to abortion, adoption being one of the finest," Bishop William H. Folwell said in a pastoral letter.

"To the young girls and other women whose pregnancies 'are unwanted," Bishop Folwell said, "we can offer hope, guidance, and compassion. More than anything else, we can offer the love of acceptance and understanding, for this, too is an important part of our witness to the sa-credness of life."

"Whatever may be designated by the law to he human life, there are present at conception all the elements which create' a human being." The prelate said, "At that moment life begins.

From that moment on any further formation of the person is purely a matter of development, growth and maturation."

Bishop Folwell acknowledged that an unborn child is not as fully developed as a newborn child but, he said, "We value each life not only for what it is but also for what it is capable of becoming."

"As Christians," he said, "we know that what we can become depends not on our own potential but on our capability to receive the grace of almighty God

" The grace of God and its power can be limited. The difference between the human embryo and an adult is small compared to the difference between an adult and a risen saint."

The bishop said that Christians believe that a person "is perfected by God's grace, not 'by technology or education. This grace was made manifest in Jesus Christ and is available now to all hecause of His resurrection."
