Dutch Bishops See No Celibacy Change AMSTERDAM (NC) - Priests in this country have been told that there is little hope that the Dutch bishops will be able to bring about any change in the Church's law on priestly celibacy.

In a letter to all priests in this country, the Dutch bishops said that Pope Paul VI "finds that in conscience it is not his task to change the law on celibacy as it has existed for many centuries." The Pope also believes that generaIly all bishops agree with him, the Dutch bishops said.

The Dutch bishops said that even their suggestion "that in special cases married priests, under certain conditions, be readmitted to the ministry" seems unacceptable to most bishops in the world.

The Dutch bishops stressed that they want to remain "in comm1,lnion with the Universal Church," and said that "the disappearance of celibacy would be a disaster for the Church."

The only hope for some change in the celibacy law that the Dutch bishops saw was in the Synod of Bishops' meeting in 1971. They said they hope the synod will discuss the possibility

of ordaining married men.

But the Dutch bishops admitted that this "offers no solution for the whole problem of the priesthood."

In their letter they repeated their desire to make it possible for married priests who have married to do pastoral work that excludes those functions that can be performed only by married priests-such as celebrating Mass.

The bishops said also that they wiIl try to find pastoral work for those studying for the priesthood who want to serve the Church without taking a vow of celibacy. .

The bishops' letter-written to those who "are most directly involved"-was a foIlow-up to their July 31 statement reporting on the recent meeting between Pope Paul and Cardinal Bernard Alfrink of Utrecht on the celibacy issue.

In the July statement the bishops restated their desire for a change in the Church's law on obligatory celibacy and said that Pope Paul believes that the priesthood-celibacy link is "still valid today and perhaps even more so than in the past.

"The New American Bible is a faithful translation in today's language for today's people," Father Tobin said. "The 'thee' and 'thou' of old-fashioned Bible English" in previous versions are gone, replaced by the up-to-date language of contemporary man."

School Board Brings Lay Interest

A growing number of laymen are becoming involved in the "grass roots" level of Catholic education-the school board.

At the same time, school boards at the diocesan level are becoming more autonomous, more influential and more accepted, a national. survey revealed.

Father Olin J. Murdick, superintendent of schools in the Saginaw, Mich., diocese polled the nation's 153 Catholic superintendents about diocesan boards of education in January.

The survey, sponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), indicated the average board had 14members, with the number of lay members exceeding the number Turn to Page Two .

The four non-Catholic scholars who coIlaborated on the project are: Prof. Frank M. Cross Jr. of Harvard University, who permitted the use of certain unpublished manuscripts from the Dead Sea ScroIls; Prof. James A. Sanders of Union Theological Seminary, New York; Rev. John Knok, professor of New Testament, Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest; and . Prof. David N. Freedman, dean of faculty, San Francisco Theological Seminary.

Msgr. Skehan said: "We were not concerned about literary style except insofar as that was evident in, the original. This is not a purely literary translation.

Our attempt was to produce a faithful and accurate translation for modern man."

"Structural analysis was applied to certain books," Msgr.

Skehan said. "The prophetic books have profited from some advances in literary analysis."

Reunion With Sister Is Priest's Reward for" Yea rs of Torture DETROIT (NC)-The 75-yearold priest from Spain who has ,endured ample shares of tortures and persecutions said here he now has been 'rewarded amply.

.

,

Father Theodore Lopez Soto from Marbella, Spain, had are: union with his 95-year-old sister in St. Louis, whom he had not seen for 50 years. His trip to this country was financed by a number of sympathetic American friends. His travels in this country took him also to New York City and Albany.

Father Soto has given 37 years to the priesthood. As a child he came to this country with his sister, but returned to Spain to study for the priesthood: Shortly after his ordination, ,the Spanish civil war broke out in the 1930s. The communists, the prie~t charged "inflamed the people against the Church; slaughtered bishops" priests and , nuns; burned churches."

"It's hard to believe now that it all happened," Father Soto said. He recalled the years 'of fleeing for his life from communist pursuers, hiding in caves and attics; forced to subsist on grass and top shoots of black,berry bushes.

He remembered that he lived for a month in a hollow-out haystack on a farm of friends, and for three months in the attic of a house for the poor.

Holy Union Nuns Hold Sessions For Chapter Holy Union Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Province have completed a two-day program as a preparatory session for the General Chapter of the Order scheduled for next Summer in Rome.

Mother Margaret Higgins, SUSC, provincial opened the sessions and stressed the concepts of openness, trust and unity in diversity as keynotes for this era of change in religious life.

A report from the Experimentation Board was given by Sister Carol Regan, SUSC., chairman, and concerned the contemporary religious symbol worn by the sisters.

Another panel discussion was headed by Sister Virginia Sampson, SUSC, and she presented a review and an evaluation of the various government experiments conducted in the community during the year.

In summing up this session, the provincial established the fact that experimentation will continue as a major factor in the lives of religious women.

Sister Grace Donovan, SUSC, provincial councillor, presented a resume of the government experiments of other religious orders)n order to assist the Holy Union Sisters to comprehend the scope of possibilities available for Holy Union Convents.

Nurses Demand Refusal Right SAN JOSE (NC)-A "conscientious objector" clause in a new contract being negotiated with hospitals in the Santa Clara Valley area is being demanded by some 900 nurses.

That clause would allow nurses, on g.rounds of religious or moral convictions, to refuse to take part in cases invblving abortion or euthanasia (mercy killings) without fear of threat, intimidation or harassment on the part of hospital authorities.

David Leahy, San Jose attorney who is negotiating the contract on behalf of the nurses, said virtually all of the nurses are concerned about a lack of policy regarding such matters with hospitals at the present time. . Leahy said his aim is to have spelled out specifically the rights of the nurses to refuse to take part in abortion cases and also in cases involving terminal illnesses where death results when mechanical life· support systems are withdrawn.

He said patients known as "human vegetables" generally are involved in life support system cases and terminating the mechanical life support system is known among hospital personnel as "pulling the plug."

Appoints Cardinals To Congregation VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has named five cardinals, including Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit, as new members of the Congregation for Divine Worship.

The four other new members are Cardinals Alfred Bengsch of Berlin, Karol Wojtyla of Crakoc, Francois Marty of Paris and Arturo Tabera Araoz of Pamplona, Spain.

FORT WAYNE (NC)-Bishop Leo A. Pursley of Fort WayneSouth Bend, former chairman of the National Office for Decent Literature, expressed concern over reports regarding findings of the Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography.

Writing in the Aug. 23 edition of the diocesan Our Sunday Visitor newspaper, the bishop said reports of the commission's find'ing "must be a matter of grave concern to all of us, particularly to parents of growing children."

"Two members of the commission, Father Morton Hill, S.J., and Mr. Charles Keating, have refused to sign the report and have branded it as a betrayal of public trust and responsibility.

Why? The answer measures the wide gap between traditional and contemporary attitudes toward the moral issues involved in ~his question," the bishop said. , 'No Evndence' "We all know that the business of advertising is today a multi-million dollar operation. It gets results and swells profits precisely because it persuades people to buy.

"But when we consider the industry that produces and markets obvious obscenity, deliberate dirt, in books, magazines and X movies, we are assured by the experts that no scientific evidence 'proves that these words and pictures have any in'fluence on human conduct, that they do not offend against 'prevailing community standards,' that they are not 'utterly' devoid of redeeming social significancE that no effort should be mac to control this traffic in' smutand souls," he added.

Congress ·Overrides School Aid Veto WASHINGTON (NC) --' Both Houses of Congress have passed' into law over President Nixon's veto a $4A billion education money bill.

Nixon had vetoed the bill which exce~ded his funding re: ,Quests by $453 million, cIaiming it was inflationary and would contribute to growing budget deficits. To counteract the override veto, administration sources are hinting the President may refuse to spend some of the excess funds.

The bill contains $75 million for Southern school district desegregation programs this Fall; anti-busing provisions and $551 . million for aid to "impacted" areas where most 'students are children of federal employes.

Also included is $50 million for a science equipment program the President wanted completely phased out and $54 million more than he sought for vocational education.

HOPE IS MANY THINGS~••

COMMANDER BUCHER The seizure of the Pueblo un'der fire by six units of the North Korean Navy began an ordeal for the Pueblo crew that involved endless interrogations, torture, beatings, hunger, the ever-present threat of death, the agonizing uncertainty l.lS to the intentions of the KORCOMS (KOrean Communists) and complete ignorance. as to what the U.S. government was' doing to gain their release.

Bucher expresses the opinion that the North Korean capture of the Pueblo was due' to a mistake. He says that when the KORCOMs discovered the presence of the Pueblo he is convinced that "their assumption was that 'we were a South Korean Navy ship (they' are painted exactly like ours and often of American construction)."

It was after the "attempted assassination of South Korea's President Park by a North Korean team. Bucher says he believes that his North Ko~ean captors next assumed that the Pueblo was "carrying a retaliation team . with a mission to· murder their demagogue, Premier Kim II Sung."

Archbishop Camara Gets King Award

Dear Friend: There are a million-and-a-half refugees in the Holy Land, each one the voiceless victim of a war now in its 22nd year.

Mostly children, they are refugees torn to shreds by war.

We mend them best by giving them hope.

Hope is a pair of shoes, an egg, a clean blanket, a chance to receive the sacraments.

Hope is a handful of practical:action peoplepriests, Sisters, and qualified volunteers-who leave their own homes and become refugees in the' Holy Land for the refugees.

These people, just a handful, are our Pontif- , ical Mission for Palestine.

They are people who feed, teach, heal, clothe, mend, fulfilling the love-mission of Jesus Christ. in Bethlehem, Nazareth, Cairo, Damascus, and. war points in between.

Their mission is love, and peace with justice.

Their strategy is service-the works of mercy; person·to-person, in the name of Jesus Christ.

There is hope in the heart of the blind child in the Gaza Strip because he is learning a trade in- the Pontifical Mission Center for the Blind.

In Abu-Dis, outside Jerusalem, an elderly Muslim prays contentedly to Allah because Sister Patrick, from Ireland, is at. his side.

Six Sisters from India - a physician, two' nurses, three social workers-have arrived in war-torn Jordan, to work in the camps and live no better than the refugees.

You ,give them hope because you care.

We ask your prayers, for peace and for the safety of us all.

Suggests Pa rish ·Schools Improve Public Relations MILWAUKEE (NC)-If t>arochbl principals are convinced Catholic schools are doing a good job but feel others don't recognize it, maybe the principals should improve their public relations techniques.

So spoke Sister Mary Vanny, O.S.F., education director for the Wisconsin province of the School Sisters of St. Francis, who addressed a Summer institute at Marquette University.

Public relations was pinpointed at the two-week session as one of . the problems confronting Catholic elementary school administrators.

"We're conv.inced of the importance of Catholic schools but we will have to fight for them and become more knowledgable," Sister Mary told a class of mostly nuns. "We must sell our product because we have done a poor job in the past," she said.

Sister Mary noted that public relations efforts are important to: Intere~t more people in Catholic schoQls, including those with no children enrolled.

Increase financial support as needs .for funds grow.

Create a favorable climate in the community, parish and school.

Better Cooperation She advised the principals that public relations with pastors needs· improvement because oftentimes "they feel they're being pressured." She suggested that they meet weekly with the priests, over a cup of coffee, to discuss what's taking place in school.

Sister Mary called for better cooperation among religious communities because "we have the power but we're not using it." She felt that jointly they could have greater influence on pastors and diocesan departJTIents of education.

She cited several areas on Milwaukee's south' side where two parish schools with some 200 to 300 pupils are only a few blocks apart. She suggested that although different orders teach in those schools one principal could serve them.

Retired Teachers Citing the success of cooperative efforts in consolidated schools, Sister Mary explained, "There's no reason why different orders shouldn't be teaching in the same school."

Sister Mary suggested that experienced teachers share their expertise by meeting with others in the area who teach the same grades; or if a teacher is weak in some aspects she should observe techniques of those who are experienced.

She felt that steps should be taken to get more male teachers in Catholic elementary schools but cautioned the principals not to overlook retired teachers in their religious communities.

Sister Mary also urged the group to make every effort to get federal funds. She said if it's difficult to get cooperation from state administrators they should go all-out to make local public school superintendents aware of the needs.

St. Anthon~y High Gra.d Becomes First Sister to lf/ork at 'Nashua Hospitlll Looking back on her Summer in Nashua, she summarized her feelings by saying "I feel the patients accepted me, as did the staff. They really satisfied my own needs." , Nashua Memorial Hospital recently announced a first for that center of medical care in New Hampshire-Sr. Suzanne Payette of the Order of the Holy Cross is now completing a two-month course as a nurses' aide and thus becomes the first nun in the annals to work at Memorial Hospital.

Sr. Suzanne of St. George's Convent, Manchester recalls her first appearance on the hospital floor the patients were' stunned to discover a nun work· ing there, but the shock disappeared immediately and the treatment received from the individuals treated was one of absolute graciousness.

The daughter of Mrs. George Talbot and the late Ralph Payette, Sr., is a graduate of St. Anthony High School, New Bed· ford. She entered the religious order shortly after, and pronuunced her final vows in 1966.

Sr. Suzanne holds a B.A. de· gree in education from Notre Dame Coliege in Manchester and, has taught in the Manchester and Nashua areas for 10 years.

She. revealed her desire to become a nurse, and hopefully, she will begin training in September, 1971 to receive her degree in nursing. Because of her previous training, she needs only six more academic courses plus the nurses' training program to become a registered nurse.

In the interview, 'the St. An· thony High graduate stated: "I enjoy teaching but I always wanted to be a nurse. It: is something that has not left me.

And this is why I am at Memorial Hospital-before going into training, I wanted to get some experience."

Accepted at Memorial ·But why did she choose Me· morial hospital over other hospitals closer to her community?

She explained that because she was teaching school at St. George's at the time the nurses' aide training program was conducted this Spring, she was not accepted at the other hospitals.

However, Memorial Hospital un· derstood her problem, and responded to. her request.

Her opinions about the hospital work and the people she has met during her stay there were all favorable, and in fact, very enthusiastic: "It turned out to be just what I had expected.

I found a great deal of concern among the nurses toward their patients. They were very delicate."

Sister is called what is known in hospital terminology as a "floater," a nurses' aide who is not assigned to any specific

Studies Private School Aid SAN JUAN (NC)-Battle lines were being drawn here as public hearings opened on the feasibility of an amendment to Puerto Rico's constitution permitting direct government aid to private schools.

The hearings are being COilulitted by the House Education Cummittee, authorized to make the study and report its findings to the House by Jan. I. The Puerto Rican Catholil: hierarchy i~ expected to support the proposed amendment, although it has not as yet issued an official statement on the issue.

Bishop Fremoit Torres of Ponce recently urged Catholic University of Puerto Rico students to support the proposed amendment.

Controversal Bishop Antuillo Parrilla, ·S.J., who teaches at the state university, is an avid antiwar activist and has no duties with the hierarchy, publicly has taken a stand against the amendment, favoring instead direct aid tu students.

The Evangelical Council, com· posed of a number of Protestant groups, also announced it will oppose the amendment and press for direct aid to students.

SISTER SUZANNE PAYETTE, CAC ward permanently. In this way, she was able to work in the maternity ward, the psychiatric, and the medical and surgical wards. And next week, she will be' a nurses' aide in the pediatric ward.

She commented that o( all the wards, she enjoyed the medical and surgical ward the most. Say· ing she regarded each challenge as a new experience, she found she gained "a certain amount of know-how about routine pro· cedure" in the medical and surgical division, and this pleased her.

Eager to Learn Eager; to learn and experience :new things; her attitude toward life and self-fulfillment complement the energetic and youthful nun. She walks to work every morning from the Infant Jesus convent on Crown Hill, where she is living for the Summer, and smilingly says she "enjoys the exercise to keep her body t!,im." But she adds, "I usually get a ride home at the end of the day."

Reduce Public Aid To Private Schools HARRISBURG (NC)--:-A recent ruling to take public aid away from non-public Pennsylvania schools will not affeCt the state's 1,064 Catholic schools or their receipt of $14.9 million this year.

The new law handed down by the state Justice Department does not. apply to Catholic parochial schools because none of them is near the $132-per-pupil ceiling for receipt of public funds.

The ruling, however, will slice an estimated $1.6 million from funds expected at 67 private schools and academies under Pennsylvania's aid to non-public schools program. In keeping with new ceiling restrictions, they will receive reduced amounts.

Catholic Schools At Beginning Of New Era

-CriticisnJ - Pope Paul has evidenced apprehension over sY,mposiums and spiritual retreats and pilgrimages that show a tendepcy to_ criticize the Church. ' In a talk at Castelgandolfo, the Pope has urged that "we pay attention to the affirmation of what we hold most dear, so that our ability is not unduly affected by suggestions of other people.", i A steady diet of what is critical may start· by appearing to be in the interest of helping the Church. But when it is prolonged it can easily become simply a negative process that tears down and leads one to taking: an altogether harsh attitude toward the Church and her teachings given her by C h r i s t . , The emphasis would be better placed on what is positive, on what the Church holds and gives to her childr¢n, on reform in one's personal life to measure up more perfectly to that standard of holfness which the Church: of Christ wishes her children to possess:

LOUISVILLE (NC)-A top authority on Catholic education in this country urged Americans to take an inside, as well as an outside, look. at Catholic schools.

The outside view taken by the average American dealS mainly with statistics - "numbers, pupils, dollars and the like."

Msgr. Raymond A. Lucker, tlirector, Department of Education, United States' Catholic Confer-' ence, declared here.

"The average American sees a decline in the number of schools and a shortage in the number of Sisters and Brothers who teach," he continued.

"But on the inside of our Catholic schools', the system is not collapsing. It is at the beginning of a new era. Catholic education is more than the Catholic school' system. .It is the total teaching mission of the Church," the monsignor emphasized in an address at the 56th annual International Federation of Catholic Alumnae (IFCA) convention here.

The 43-year-old conference official said there now are signs of' improvements ,in the Catholic school system. These. include diocesan boards .of education; new efforts in the campus ministry; concern for inner-city ed'ucation; involvement with students and work among the poor.

Integral Part Msgr. Lucker blamed some Catholics across the country who lack faith in the system for 'spreading the impression of a decline in Catholic education.. . "We must support Catholic schools because an atmosphere of faith is an integral part of education," he said. "The life, death and resurrection of Christ is as important in our lives as anything."

He said some people doubt the need for Catholic schOOls today 'by contending Catholic schools were originally established as a defense against the Protestant influence in public schools. ·This is not so, Monsignor Lucker said.

"We need to learn the love and presence of God in our !ives," he declared.

the various and changing life styles that modern living has imposed on the' church. To meet this challenge most seminaries have introduced into their curriculum a dynamic field-training program. In conjunction with this, there is an important trend to work and study with members of the non Catholic educational world.

These goais are admirable and are to be encouraged, not rejected and condemned before they even have proven themselves. In time, there can· be little doubt that extremes of experimentation will disappear and self-destruct. _ However, in the meantime, let us give the seminary, the seminarian and the newly ordained a chance. The diocese, the parish and the seminary must work hand in hand. We cannot do the works of the Lord without each other. Let's begin to encourage . rather .than' discourage; let's begin to investigate and learn rather than turn off and ignore.

Wallpaper Problem

I also have the faint hope that with so many brushes traveling, that eventually everything should, will be covered with paint.. .

Unfortunately, too many other things get covered. If all the paint that gets smeared on the kids were applied to the woodwork, we wouldn't run out so often. I spend 'more time going to the hardware store than I do working on the job.

This Summer's project was the front hall, a lovely room in many ways. In' other ways, it's a horror. It has a big open stair~ well with a. balcony above. It also has a high wall over that open stairwell that you can't reach even with a long-handledust mop.

The mechanics of reaching that wall were simple. All we had to do was place a big ladder on··the stairs, leaning .against the wall; put a box on the opposite ledge; and lay a plank between the two.

Aerial Work We set it up beautifully. I walked out to see if I could reach the ceiling. It was fine going out. Everything' was fine '" '" * until I looked down. The longer I looked, the further away the lower 'floor seemed.

It was obvious I didn't have the stomach for aerial work. I drafted my 14-year-old son to do that part of the job. He pranced around out there like a squirrel in a tree. Just. watching him, . I felt sick.

I'd try not to look, praying he'd get back without breaking his neck. He'd call, "Hey, Mom. Watch how the ladder sways ~hen I bounce on the plank!"

"Just watch what you're doing. Get done. And, get down off there before you fall!"

While he was swinging in the breeze, the others all got to work on more solid ground.

When they started to remove wallpaper, there was gooey, wet slop dripping from everything, particularly the kids working below the ones up on the ladders.

One of them called, "Mom, the wall feels kind of funny here.

Why is the plaster' coming. off with the paper. Hey, look! I've got a great big hole."

I started mixing plaster.

When the preparation was finally finished, the enthusiasm

Asl began crawling around on the floor, I realized that Ipy knees were much older than t,he rest of me.

S,ex and Youth Counsellor Says Playboy Philosophy Distorts View of Morality PAWLING (NC)-,-The Playboy philosophy - equating women with bunnies - contributes to a distorted view of morality by American youth, asserted a family counselling authority in her new booklet entitled "Sex and Youth."

"I am not talking about all the· wordy installments in Playboy magazine, but the Playboy philosophy as it's put, into flesh the use of the' woman as an animal, called a bunny," wrote Dr. Evelyn Millis Duvall in the publication being distributed around the world by the Foundation for' Christian Living here in New York.

Playboy Magazine, published

by Hugh Hefner, who developed the philosophy, uses a rabbit or bunny as its emblem. Waitresses who work in Playboy Clubs dress in scanty bunny costumes.

Mrs. Duvall called the Playboy philosophy "blasphemous."

She explained that "to take a full half of the human race, the women out of which the next generation comes, and insist that they .are to be used seductively as playthings, as the basis of titillation rather than respected as persons, is the ultimate blasphemy."

She also aimed her criticism at. the churches for having "let our whole gen.eration of young people down" by remaining si· lent about "the redemptive mes. sage of our religion."

Th~' message, Mrs. Duvall added, must be told "so tHat we may assimilate' all our &xperi· ences and grow out' of them and through them.

"We have refused to bring in the basis of our' Christian' heritage, ,a redemptive message of love, the story of forgiveness, a recognition that each of us, with our human vulnerabilities and weaknesses, must come to terms with ourselves, with our sins, sorrows and mistakes."

Mrs. Duvall, author of several best-selling books on sex education, called for "law and order

in boy-girl relationships" and wrote that "on the highway, on the waterfront, in a Summer program, some kind of rules that will protect the silliest, the least mature, the most impulsive are imperative for :the survival and the sanity of all the individuals involved." .

Drawing on talks with thousands of young persons in student groups and the more than 17,000 answers to questions she has collected about dating, love and sex, Mrs. Duvall denied that a sexual revolution is underway.

She maintained that young persons who engage in sexual relations before marriage are a minority who have received a disproportionate amount of publicity.

Plan Dominicanization' .Of. Foreign Priests SANTO DOMINGO (NC)-The national bishops' conference has established an institute for the "Dominicanization" of for'eign priests working in the Domini· can Republic.

"The association has claimed it represents a majority of the lay teachers in 62 out of th,e 284 parochial schools," Msgr. Hughes said. "As of September, 1969 there were 456 lay teachers in those 62 schools."

Imperiale emphasized that he planned to cooperate in every way possible with the Gibson administration. Adding that he was still opposed to "rioters, anarchists and communists," Imperiale added that he had never known Gibson "to advocate any of those things."

Private Schools ,In P'ennsylvania F'ile Aid Brief WASHINGTON (NC) - Lawy· ers for Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and non-sectarian private schools across Pennsylvania have filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court outlining the constitutionality of the state's aid program for private schools.

Urging that the Pennsylvania Nonpublic Elementary and Secondary Education Act is both constitutional and "squarely in the public interest," attorneys for the schools are seeking continuation of the established aid program.

Their brief will be added to the material entered for the high court's consideration in its Fall term.

Lemon vs. Kurtzman, the case testing the Pennsylvania program, could be a land mark aid decision. If the Supreme Court upholds earlier rulings, it will clear the way for state purchase ' of services from nonpublic schools across the nation.

On Nov. 28, 1969, a Philadel,phia federal court upheld the constitutionality of' the act in a 2-1 decision.

Secular Functions The test case was brought before the court and is now being appealed before the Supreme Court by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups and individuals.

Co-counsel for the civil liberties union are Henry Sawyer cif Philadelphia and Leo Pfeffer of New York.

In the civil liberties union brief, the appellants rest~te the position taken in other aid cases: that no aid whatsoever can go to church-related schools.

Chief counsel for the schools is William B. Ball, of the Harrisburg firm of Ball and Skelly. The brief for the schools contends that the Philadelphia court rightly held that it is permissible for government to support the secular functions of church-related schools.

The Pennsylvania nonpublic school aid law provides for state purchase of "secular educational services" from Pennsylvania nonpublic schools, by reimbursement of part of the cost actually incurred by these schools in four specified secular subjects: mathematics, modern foreign languages, physical science and physical education.

Reimbursement is limited to three items of direct expense: textbooks, instructional materials, and teachers' salaries. Payment is made after services are rendered.

The funding of the act does not come from general taxation; it is derived exclusively from a special fund which is not and has never been utilized for the support of the public schools.

Abernathy Scores American System ALANTA (NC) - Rev. Ralph Abernathy, performing as a selfproclamied courtroom "prosecutor" of the American system, 'scathingly denounced the nation as "a liar . . . fraud . . . rubber .'. . murderer . '. . in· vader, whoremonger and a pros· titute."

Abernathy's "jury" - 1,500 blacks attending. the 13th annual convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of which Abernathy is president -enthusiastically issued a verbal "guilty" verdict on each count during a mass meeting at Mount Moriah Baptist Church here.

Deviating from his usual calm, methodical style of delivery, Abern'athy assumed emotional reaches as he set out to "prosecute" the U.S. as an "escaped convict," as a criminal who has committed many, many crimes . . . against the vast majority of the population" during the past 200 years.

The theme of this year's con-

vows have more relevance to our lives when they are chal1enged.

"Perhaps at this time, the vow of chastity is the vow which is going to influence our individual lives and, consequently, the com· munal witness that we must give to the people.in God's kingdom."

What this meanS for the Sisters is a change in their understanding of themselves, an ac· ceptance of their own blackness.

Long barred from most orders in the Church, black girls. who became nuns found themselves forced to surrender many of their own traditions.

"Entering an order meant ceasing to be black and looking on what you grew up with as uncouth," Blessed Sacrament Sister Christine Nesmith remarked. "You could do the Irish jig, but anything African was taboo."

Now, with the impetus of the black power movement, the change is not taking place in the Sisters, but in their communities and in the Church.

By REV. ANDREW M'I~[::::J: GREELEY

may _both by his own religious superiors and by -the paragons of offieial Catholic liLeralism, the reader has some right to know what philosophical principles have led the columnist to his marginal position.

At a recent meeting of a number of social scientists who were discussing ways in which the Peace Movement might communicate with the various segments of middle America I was arguing with considerable vigor that the Peace Movement, to begin with, must shed its contempt for middle America.

Finally, one of my colleagues pointed a finger at me and observed, "I know what you are.

You're a Populist!" He meant it as a compliment, and I took it as such, for Populism ii> perhaps the most powerful and elemental political movement in the whole of the American tradition.

Three Convictions .

It has at times produced rather bizarre leaders, and it can be ~ violent, bigoted, and destructive force, though it has also produced some of America's most creative political leadership: the Roosevelts, the LaFol~ , lettes, Hubert Humphrey (a quarter of a century ago and perhaps even today), Eugene McCarthy and, in his last years, Robert Kennedy. .

1 think I might have preferred lWen more the title of Jeffersonian Democrat because this would have cleared me of the anti-intellectual and chauvinist strain whch is latent in the Populist spirit, but I'll settle for the title Populist, so long as it is understood that my Populism is more of the variety of Thomas Jefferson than it is of Andrew Jackson (or of Hubert Humphrey in 1948 rather than George Wallace in 1968).

But what do I mean when r claim to be a Jeffersonian Democrat? There are three convictions which are at the root of this philosophy (at least for me), and which affect not only my political but also my religious attitudes: Decency of !People I. 1 believe in the fundamental dignity and decency of the people; not merely intellectuals, not merely those who have Ph. D.'s, not merely those who live in certain sections of the country, but of the people; not all of the people all the time, but enough of the people enough of the time so that with the p:roper

Indeed, they will be more like.ly to make the correct decision or at least support the correct decision than will be a selfanointed elite who has decided to make the people's decision for them. (I am not altogether out of sympathy with William Buckley's claim that he would rather be governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston phone book than by the faculty of Harvard University).

I would therefore agree with Winston Churchill that while democracy may very well be a terribly inefficient way of running a society (or a church), it looks very good indeed when compared to all other available methods.

Live in Peace .

2. I believe-: in the ability of men of good will to work out their differences with other men of good will so that situations can be created in which men of different backgrounds and different cultures can' live with each other, if not exactly in amity, at least in some kind of peace.

I do ~ot think social conflict can ever be eliminated from society; I am convinced that there are in all social groups substantial majorities which are favorably disposed to settling conflict by dialogue, discussion, growth of mutual understanding, and compromise rather than by violence which tears a society apart.

Mortal Enemies 3. I believe, finally, in the dignity, integrity, and uniqueness of people and, hence, reject any attempt to manipulate them, violate their dignity, and integrity, reduce their freedom, turn them into objects or categories, or make judgments on whole classes of people.

Therefore, I view as mortal enemies of the people those demagogues of whatever color or of whatever social class who appeal to the hatred, the fear, and . the resentment that smolders in the people. I furthe~ deplore those moralistic zealots who. denounce the people.

I do not approve of those enthusiasts who would attempt to make feelings of guilt the beginning of social action or social reforms programs. I denounce those bigots 'who generalize about categories of people whatever their race, or nationality background, or religion, or economic class.

I further denounce those bigots-even, and, indeed especially, when they are ministers of religion - who wish to hold whole certain classes of people today guilty for things that were done in the past.

Third-Rate Mosquitoes I abhor those self-satisfied "missionaries" who are so convinced of their own righteousness that they manipUlate people, thus violating their integrity and dignity so that they may do that which is "right." Hence, my profound suspicions of the forms

Two Sist'ers Make First Promises Sister Carol Smith, SUSC, and Sister Kathleen Clark, SUSC, made their first promises of chas· tity, poverty and obedience and were received into the commun· of manipulation that go on in the abuses of group dynamics.

Educator Urges Religion Classes For Parents

Vatican Cancels Outmoded Rules Foil' Re~igious

WASHINGTON (NC)-Parents are always being tolc! they are the chief teachers of their children. But many parents shy away from the area of religious education, content to let someone else - usually a catechism teacher-take care of it.

v ATICAN CITY (NC)-ln a papally approved eight-point uecree, the Vatican has cancelled several antiquated barriers in the 1918 Canon Law Code against freedom of movement and self-regulation at Catholic convents and monasleries.

"If we really honored the role of parents as teachers of' their children, particularly in religious matters," said Lawrence Losoncy, head of the U. S. Catholic Conference adult education division, "we would move to cut down or eliminate the .c1asses of religion for children and replace them with classes of religion for parents."

Among other things, the decree by the Congregation for the Religious-which looks after the more than 1.2 million nuns, brothers and other male" Religious around the world--catches up officially with what has long been common practice: modernday nuns traveling alone instead of only in pairs.

Losoncy was one of a group of .experts addressing a workshop at Georgetown University here, geared towards planning Catholic education for the future. The workship was co-directed by Father C. Albert Koob, O. Praem., president of the Nationa!' Catholic Educational Association, and Msgr. Raymond Lucker, USCC Education Department director.

Henceforth, as wt:ll, the minimum age for superiors general is 35 instead of 40, while the required minimum age for novice masters and others of lesser au. thority is dropped from 35 to 30. Ten years of fUlly professed religious life are no longer required in order to assume a leadership position.

Additional Responsibility

Changes in Code

Losoncy said providing broadly-based religious education programs for adults did not mean such programs for the young are unnecessary.

Other changt'S: dispense with having to checlc the past life of each novice with the bishop of every diocese where the novice ever Itved; let each order decide how many days novices must spend in mt!ditation and spiritual retreat before first vows; postpone the writing of wills by novices from time of entering to time of final vows - thereby eliminating a sticky legal point, since many novices are under 21 when they enter and are regarded as minors.

"Quite the contrary," he said, "the mandate for adult education implies a continuation of the growth begun in the young, and places upon schools and other educational agencies an additional responsibility to expand their services, resources, and availability for the benefit of the community."

Losoncy cited a "bandwagon rush" towards adult education as a combination of past effort, new breakthroughs, more resources and about 5,000 new programs this year.

"The Christian man today is politically Christian, economically Christian, socially Christian, Christian in his role in the family and Christian in his worship and prayer," he said, urging a diversified approach to adult religious education.

Urg'es: Generosity, :Justice 'To Attain World Influenc~

WASHINGTON (NC)-A mt'mbership campaign to broaden the scope of the lay apostolate in this country has been launched by the National Council of Catholic Men, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Martin H. Work, outgoing ex· ecutive director, said: "Since, its formation in 1920, the council' has devoted its entire effort toward achieving for all the Catholic laity their proper ree. ognition and role among all the people of God. "Now, as we begin our second half-century, we shall endeavor to amplify the influence of the laity throughout the country with the development of new programs, services and materials."

The council is a federation of diocesan and parish councils of Catholic laymen, pIus individual members, servicing approximateby nine million Catholic men in this country.

It is simple nonsense to say that if America is not prepared to fight Vietnam-type wars in future, it will: lose all influence round the world to the Communists.

The opening session on Friday morning set the tone for the congress. The Providence College Gymnasium, casehardened to the cheers for the Friar basketball team endured a period 6f absolute silence as thousands listened to the keynote address of Rev. Bernard Haring, C.SS.R. The noted Redemptorist theologian reemphasized the" 'Chris- • tian Optimism' that must come to all because of Christ.

"No easy answ.ers," said Father Haring, "are available, although our spirit of hope is derived from the Resurrection of Christ, it has no basis without. the Crucifixion."

Father Haring accentuated the

need for religious educators to accept the challenge of meeting the needs of our times with the courage of our convictions within the framework of Divine Revelation and its expression in the' Documents of Vatican II. Throughout the weekend, thousands of people attended the numeroiJs sessions, many of which took place out of doors because C!f the excessive crowds.

The general tone was one of optimism and friendliiless along with the serious attentiveness that accompanied the participants from session to session.

For the people of Fall River, a definite bond of unity was in evidence throughout. Using a "Z, He lives" button as an identifying' symbol, priests, sisters and laity from all areas of the Diocese got to know one another better as greetings were exchanged throughout the campus.

Finance Report Shows Surplus DETROIT (NC)-The first financial report by the Detroit archdiocese covering the fiscal year which ended June 30 disclosed a $323,182 surplus after all expenses were paid.

The report, listed a total of $4,724,504 in assets, offset by total expenditures of $4,401,376.

It was calculated that each of the 1,598,417 Catholics in the archdiocese was assessed $1.50 - a total of $2.4 million through parish quotas to meet expenses.

The Archdiocesan Development Fund produced $2,145,483 from all sources and of this $1,075,000 was tapped for ongoing and general need's of the archdiocese.

Cardinal John Dearden said the report accurately reflects the financial activities and position of the archdiocese, He added: "It expresses the sacrifice and generous spirit of our people, clergy and Religious."

Since a financial report will be issued annually in the future, the cardinal invited suggestions of how it could be improved.

The largest single expense, $1,194,189, went to seminaries for education of priests of the future. Other expense items inc1udecJ $928,951 for the archdiocesan education department; $231,874 for the Newman Apostolate serving Catholic students in non-Catholic institutions, and $215,846 for the Michigan Catholic Conference.

CALDWELL (NC)-The New Jersey Conference of Major Superiors of Women will launch Sept. 3 the cooperative Institute ~f 'Religious Formation, Young women training to be nuns in 19 congregations which have novitiates in this state will be eligible for institute courses that will stress Scriptural and theological training.

The college is operated by the Dominican Sisters who are cooperating in the program.

Credits earned by any novices taking a course will be applicable toward theology degrees, Courses will be given on Saturdays over a three-year cycle, The institute will be started at a meeting of the major superiors with the bishops of the state, formation personnel, and novices and postulants ,enrolled in the program.

LARCHMONT (NC)-Can local churches make themselves essential to their community, as well as relevant to the larger troubled world? Does religious devotion mix with real social action?

The affluent New York suburbs of Larchmont and Mamaroneck, in Westchester County, faced those questions and answered yes to both.

Larchmont has hardly any poor people. Income per household is over $20,000 a year. But on its doorstep in the adjoining City of Mamaroneck is an area of poverty called "The Flats."

Officially called Washingtonville, "The Flats" is a place where several thousand blacks and Italians live in relative poverty and relative harmony.

Some, months ago' a group of agitators walked through "The Flats" attempting to stir up a riot. They were told that, while things were far from rosy, cooperation was growing and progress was being made in the community. , The young blacks felt there was hope and had faith that, at least in this spot, government, churches and the rest of the establishment would deliver.

One sign of hope appeared shortly after the rabble-rousers were sent on their way. The mayor of Mamaroneck received a' check for $10,000 from an anonymous citizen to be used to benefit the poor.
