Pontiff Stresses Work of Spirit

Evolution-not revolution -is to be the result of the Council. This was the core of Pope Paul's talk and action at the opening of the Third Ses­ sion of the Vatican Council. This spirit must spur the bishops in their debates and it must also temper those who seek but the spectacular. To seek reform is not to betray the Church. Collegiality and Christian Unity occupie<fthe Holy Father's thoughts and 00 all he applied the same principle-evolution, not revolution. The Father,s assembled in council should be confident in their deliberations that through them the Holy Spirit is acting. "The Church is here."

"Hence, these men must grow in the conviction that they are to be completely at the disposal of ecclesiastical authority, not­ withstanding the position of privilege they once occupied in society."

vor. One of the fundamental evils in the world ooday is Ignorance, ignorance not just of religious truths, but more particul,arly of religious opportunity. It is astonishing how few men and women, old as well as young are unable, or unwilling to give an account of the faith that is in

their own children, who may ask questions,-what it is that they believe, and why. This is a sad situation wherever it exists. Too much responsibility js put on priests and sisters and religious instructors who are not nearly numerous enough 00 face and meet all needs for religious in­ struction.
