VATICAN CITY (NC) - The third Synod of Bishops, which opens in the Vatican on Thursday, Sept. 30, will begin its formal meetings with an overview of the Catholic Church problems today.

Bishop Ladislaw Rubin, general secretary of the synod's permanent council, told a news conference that the presentation of a "panorama" of contemporary Church problems is a departure ftom the regular meetings of a synod but had been suggested by the synod council . because of the desire for information by various conferences of bishops.

The "panorama': will be read

by Archbishop Enrico Bartoletti, apostolic administrator of'Lucca, Italy, but is not scheduled for discussion by the more than 200 elected or appointed participants.

After the over-all view is presented, the synod will begin with the introduction of the first major matter of study on its agenda, "The priestly ministry."

The second subject will be "Justice in the World." It will be introduced once general discussion of the priestly ministry is completed. Both topics will be treated :not only in plenary ses-

resignation as pastor of St. Patrick Parish, Wareham, which parish he has headed since September, 1948.

Born in Fall River July 16, 1895, Mosignor Chippeindale is the son of the late Thomas and the late Nora (O'Leary) Chippendale.

Msgr. Chippendale has served in Our Lady of ~the Isle Parish, Nantucket; St. Mary Parish, Mansfield; Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, Fall River; St. Patrick Parish, Wareham.

On July 20, 1967, Pope Paul VI named the Wareham pastor a Domestic Prelate and he was invested in the robes of his new honor by Most Reverend James L. Connolly.

The seventy-six year old pastor, while serving as assistant ,at St. Mary Parish, Mansfield, learned Italian so as to better serve the immigrant parishioners in that area. His new language was most helpful when he became pastor of Holy Rosary Parish in Fall River for some ten years.

Bishop Rubin also announced that during the synod, participants will be given a statement on the proposed constitution of the Church-the Lex Fundamentalis (basic law)-but added that the controversial document would not be debated on the floor of the synod.

According to Bishop Rubin the fathers of the synod will number' 205, with som~ possible .additions.

He noted that under synod membership .rule.s, the Pope could name 28 personal choices but so far had limited himself to 25.

The official opening of the synod on Sept. 30 will be held in the Sistine Chapel, where Pope Paul VI will celebrate Mass and deliver a' sermon on the aims and intent of the synod.

Bishop Rubin said the. synod meetings will prob~bly last throughout October. He did not specify a closing date, which is normally determ'ined only when the main course of discussion and business has been completed.

Bishop Rubin said a number of special liturgical ceremonies will be held during October with the synod fathers expected ~o attend.

Survey Shows Bishops' Working To Combat Diocesan Problems NEW YORK (NC)-The nation's bishops are combatting current diocesan problems: by emphasizing communication with priests and laity and better vocational recruitment programs, A survey of U. S. bishops, released in The Gallagher Presidents' Report, a weekly newsletter to corporate chief executives, reveals that the American hierarchy believes its most urgent diocesan problems are vo-, cations, personnel shortages, inadequate finances, religious growth, polarization between liberal and conservative Church elements, and a communications gap with the clergy..

Other problems cited as less serious are escalating departmental costs, lack of respect for authority, inefficiency and lack of facilities.

The Gallagher study was based on a scientific sampling of 31 bishops in a geographic crosssection of 155 dioceses. The bishops represent 13.4 millionor 28 per cent-of the nation's 48 million Catholics.

Vocation Problems More than eight in ten (83.3 per cent) of the bishops cited vocations as the most urgent problem they face. Over half (56.7 per cent) said they would be willing to consider the use of women in liturgical functions and in administering some sacraments.

Nine out of 10 emphasized communication with priests and parish members to overcome vo,cation problems. Three out of five, according to the report,

viewed the bishop's role as a commuications bridge between practicing 'Catholics and' nonCatholics,.

Seventy per cent of the bishops said they regard mandatory celibacy, a critical issue, with 23.3 per cent saying demands for optional celibacy will probably, increase while 5.7 per cent foresee a decrease in such demands.

Nearly two-thirds (64.3 ,per cent) recognize mandatory celibacy as a major factor in the departure of priests. ', But the majority, 75 per cent, also said they thought most priests leave the ministry because 'of neglect of prayer. Vocational mistake was cited by 71.4 per cent as the possible reason for departure.

Clerical Departures The report stated in a news release that it believes much of the current thinking as reflected in' the study will dominate'the world Synod of Bishops this Fall in Rome.

The report noted a relaxation in bishops' atitudes toward clerical departures since its last survey of the Church. Nearly half (48 per cent) of the respondents said they viewed former priests as faithful to conscience, compared to 16,7 per cent in a similar study two years ago, and 84 per cent said they believe former priests as psychologically unsettled.

Three-fourths (76.7 per cent) said they think clerical departures are still a critical issue. But over half (56,7 per cent) think departures will decrease.

Reside'nts of White Neighborhood Oppose Black Catholic School WASHINGTON (NC) - Residents .of Kalorma, an exclusive white neighborhood here, have banded together to try to prevent a largely black Catholic boys' high school from operating near their homes.

An attempt to get a court order restraining Mackin High School from opening was denied, but a group called Concerned Kalorma Citizens succeeded in getting a rehearing before the city's zoning board. Until the rehearing Oct. 13, the school will operate double sessions on an old ruling that permits 150 of the school's 350 students on campus at anyone time.

The citizens' group said it 'was afraid students would threaten "peace and tranquility in the neighborhood, cause crowding, traffic congestion, and' lower property values, and stir apprehension in the elderly, women and mothers with young children."

New College Three-Year CUll'riculum Stresses Modern Problems SAUSALITO (NC) - Sophomore slump is out and classes that deal in everyday concerns are in at New College of California, thanks to the school's first president, Jesuit Father John P. Leary.

Father Leary, formerly Gon'zaga University president in Spokane, Wash, and most recently vice-president of the University of Santa Clara in California,· said his school which opens Sept. 27 in Sausalito, is not going to fall prey to teaching subject matter "which smacks of 30 or 100 years ago."

"Why not take students where they are ," he explained, "with the problems they are vexed and anguished by - insecurity, wa'r, hunger, injustice, the vast im.. personality of our times, their own love life, religion and identity? Then work backwards and forwards' from there." . In the list of innovations at New College will be the suppression of sophomore year. There

just won't be a "leaden sophomore experience," Father Leary said.

However, to keep the college in line with Western Association of Colleges' standards, there will be longer classes and longer semesters in the three-year curriculum.

At New College, which expects 50. students in its first academic year and an entering class of 250 in Sept. 1972, classes will be taught in analysis of problems, building imagination, discipline, the city today and others designed around tile problematic-from meditation to the role of conviction in jUdg~-1... ment.

One warning should go along with the emphasis on suede for boots and that's the fact that suede cannot take a wetting, and snow and suede mix like oil and water. Getting suede boots caught in a snowstorm results in a whfte ring (where the snow ended) that is all but impossible to remove. If you do pick up any of these smart looking suede boots as a fashion accessory make sure they remain just a luxury item because suecie is not /' iu?ractical material.

FORT WAYNE (NC)-For the second time an American bishop has publicly requested nups in ,his diocese to wear some type ,of religious habit when teaching.

Bishop Leo' C. Pursley of Fort Wayne-South Bend said in a memorandum, published in his diocesan I edition of Our Sunday Visitor, that it is his wish "because it is the wish of the Church, as expressed by Vatican II and our Holy Father, that some adequate outward sign of identification be preserved by our Sisters when they are functioning publicly and professionally in the / pursuit of the vocation to which they are called."

Bishop Vincent S. Waters of Raleigh, N.C. recently issued a similar request and added that any nuns who did not wish to comply could not work in his diocese.

Bishop Pursley wrote that if his order posed "an unreasonable and arbitrary request, it should be rejected." But he continued: FALL RIVER CLUB HONORS BISHOP: Members of "If I am reminded that externals the Fall River Woman's Club opened the year with a night, are not essentials, I agree fully, .honoring Bishop CroI1in.

She tapped me on the shoulder.

As I turned around, she gushed, "I just had to tell you. Your children have such beautiful eyes.

They must look just like your husband."

While sorting old photographs, I found a very formal, old-fashioned photo of my father, a little boy in a starched, ruffled linen .outfit, seated in an ornately carved chair.

One of my daughters asked, "Who's that?" .

"You know who he is." .

"He's a boy? Why's he wearing a dress?"

Another piped up, "Is it cousin Jimmy?"

"Nope. He's older than that," I coached.

"One of my brothers?"

"Still older," I explained.

"No, he's older than Daddy."

"I don't know ANYONE older, than DADDY!" Wins Detention My husband's mother is an amateur concert violinist, playing with a local community orchestra. We were scheduled to go hear her one eyening. Thinking I could use the outing as a little bait for getting the kids moving, I told them, "Get your rooms tidy right this minute.

Trying to placate her, I said, "At least you can get into them. It's better that you have those than none at all. Why don't you learn to count your blessings instead of complaining?"

My Supermouth son was lis- . tening to this lecture and commented, "Gee, Mom why don't you count your blessings.

Ask Continued Israeli Control of Jerusalem WASHINGTON (NC)-Despite the Vatican's call· for internationalization of Jerusalem. the National Coalition of American Nuns has called for continued Israeli control of the city.

In a statement issued by the executive council of the 2,000member coalition, the nuns opposed "any possible internationalization of the Holy City."

The statement continued: "Jews have always been in Jerusalem. It is their spiritual home and the daily prayer of the Jewish people voices their enduring historic relatioIY to the city.

Further, Israel has rebuilt Jerusalem, pouring into it millions of dollars and, more especially, untold human resources. Jerusalem is now available to all faiths and never before have the holy places been so protected and maintained." .

The statute of Jerusalem-a 1947 United Nations-approved plan calling for the internationalization of the city into a "sep~ arate body"-has hlld papal support from both Pope Pius XII and Pope Paul VI.

Anglican Bishops Urge Restraint

THE ANCHOR, Th~rs;, Sept. 23, 1971

Asks Legislature To Revise Illinois School Aid Bill ,CHICAGO (NC)-Gov'. Richard B. Ogilvie,ha,s asked the Illinois General Assembly to revise a three-part aid package for I,lon,public schools, making it conform to the U.S. Supreme Court decision restricting such assistance.

"A refined effort can be made, and should be made, to bring the bills, into the most perfect conformity with developing constitutional principals," said the governor as he sent the three bills back to the legislature with sn~c;fic recommendations for change. ' Ogilvie's action was hailed by Cardinal John Cody and Auxiliary Bishop William R. McManus.

The cardinal said he hoped the' Illinois legislature "quickly will provide urgently needed state assistance to supplement the $100 million which CathOiics will have to invest in the archdiocese's Catholics schools this coming years."

Most of the major changes are recommended for one of the bills (senate bill 1195) authorizing grants to parents for use at schools of their choice. Ogilvie proposed that the grants, instead of 'going to the schools, be fun-. neUed through the local public school district and go directly to parents for use only for textbooks and auxiliary services.

- The $30 million package was approved by the Illinois legislature in June, a few days, before the Supreme Court struck down laws in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island that authorized state payments for teacher salaries in non/ public schools. ,i "With the recent decisions," Ogilvie said he sent the bills to the legislature, "we have the opportunity to review the bills in the ,:light of "the latest, most authoritative constitutional guidance."

He added that the changes are designed'to remove from the-aid , '. package any "impermissible or , excessive entanglement" between ,church and state, as outlined by the Supreme Court's decisions.

The governor reaffirmed his support for nonpublic school assistance in a message to the General Assembly.

"Aid ,for nonpublic schools is -a sound, economic investment of public funds," he said. "It protects the public schools from additional burdens on their resourc~s, saves the· taxpayers' money, stimulates the continued investment of private fund!i in nonpublic schools, and most important, contributes to the educational development of our children. In my judgment, it is good .public policy." ,-, "OriginaUy, Senate bill 119;5 had aUotted $20.5 million .for state grants of $48 to $60 to parents of nonpublic grade school children, '. and $60 to $90 to parents of nonpublic high school students.

The governor asked in his rec-' ommendations that' the' same amounts of money be set aside for textbooks and auxiliary services, which he noted are normallypaid for by parents., His suggestion eliminates use of funds', <- " for tuition and teacher salaries, among the largest cost factors in .".,;::, .,,'" most nonpu,blic schools.

BELFAST (NC)-Stressing the distinction between terrorists and the Catholic community as a whole, Church of Ireland (Anglican) bishops in' this British province called on Protestants to practice "restraint in the face of extreme provocation."

Five Church of Ireland bishops, including Archbishop George Simms of Armagh, issued a statement declaring: "We ... along with countless others, view with deep concern the continued reign of terrorism that exists in our province which has led to death and wounding of many, including those who are here to protect the lives and property of all citizens.

"We are especially concerned with the wide spread intimidation which' has led to the break-up of homes and the severing of good relations with neighbors.

Intimidation is a despicable thing from whatever 'quarter it comes."

The audience reaction is spontaneous and real. It has a positive effect on the quality and vigour of the performance. New York audiences are not easily moved to hand clapping. In this audience, however, one could see 'no person who was not on' 'his feet clapping in time to the finale. And that. cannot be credited entirely to the delightful idea of having the audience join the actors on' stage for a little wine during the intermission.

One might wonder if it is properthatreIigious property be treated so lightly. Is it necessary to "sugarcoat" the gospels to make them more palatable? Indeed not, and there is an important point here regarding any of the reljgiously ,oriented shows.

"Godspell" is, first and last, a piece of theatre-·not a religious work. Any religious sentiments generated by the show_ are entirely personal. The hand-clapping exuberance of the spectator is a direct result of theatrical manipulation rather than human- . 'istic fervor. This is not criticism..

It is to '''Godspell's'' credit that the potentials of both source and stage are so dramaticably and beautifully exploited.

"Godspell" is an evening of , pleasant music, superb showmanship and unanimous delight. The only thing that might bother some at its end is deciding who enjoyed it more-the audience or the actors. The question answers itself.

But they warned: "Do not confuse the activities of the terrorists with the whole Roman Catholic community. This is a danger and could lead to sectarian strife which should be repugnant to all Christian people.

We are fully aware that the majority of Roman Catholics are sickened by the violence and want peace as much as we do, so that we may all learn afresh to live and work together for the good of our community."

The statement acknowledged a "daily tool of murder, destruction ,·of property and business" concerns, and the attempt to paralyze life in Belfast and throughout the province," but ,called on people' to maintain "restraint," to check all rumors and not to impede the security forces by creating crowds, but to assist them in every legitimate way."

Invites Nominees For Future Bishops ROCKVILLE CENTRE (NC)Bishop Walter P. Kellenberg has asked priests, nuns and laity here to submit names of priests they think would make good bishops. The action is similar to that taken recently by Cardinal Teeence Cooke in the New York archdiocese and by Bishop Francis'J. Mugavero in Brooklyn.

Conference Asks Massive Relief For Pakistani WASHINGTON (NC)-The 25member administrative board of the United States Catholic Conference has called on the United States to take the lead in promoting a billion-dollar international relief program for East Pakistani refugees.

"Our government should ask the United Nations and the more favored nations of the world to mount a program of relief to be administered by the UN," the bishops declared in a statement.

They said the massive'relief effort should total at least a billion dollars, "to which the United States would set an example by pledging at least $300 million."

The bishops agreed that "unless a relief effort is mounted on a more gigantic scale than that which is presently going on, no hope whatever can be held for hundreds of thousands of those who are already, suffering so tragically."

'None More Tragic' The bishops noted that in past months storms and floods have caused countless Pakistani to flee their country. It has been estimated, they reported, that 25to-40,000 refugees cross the border into India each day.

The bishops' statement said: "In an age that has witnessed more than its share of tragedies that have darkened the lives of thousands upon thousands of people, there is probably none more tragic than the plight of the millions Of 'refugees from East Pakistan who have fled into India to save, if possible, the lives of themselves and their families."

The bishops added: 'Widespread Famine' "An international approach of this type would not only provide the immediate needs of the refugees, but couta cope with their long term needs and their rehabilitation as distinct from the immediate need for' survival.

There is plentiful evidence pointing to the certainty of widespread famine in East Pakistan

by October. Food must be supplied on a massive scale directly to the rural areas of East Pakistan on a politically neutral basis.

"This should be accomplished through a greatly augmented United Nations staff with a specific mandate and adequate facilities for effective action. IIi order to facilitate this massive movement of food and supplies, we urge the government of Pakistan and the leaders of the Bangia Desh moveme,nt to cooperate fully with this emergency humanitarian program.

The conference adm,inistrative board said it would also ask Western European bishops to urge their governments to take part in the international aid effort.

Apartheid Po'licy PRETORIA (NC)-South African Prime Minister Baltazar J. Vorster told two black African Lutheran church leaders that he intends to continue the government's apartheid policy of strict racial segregation in South-West Africa despite their objections.

The family will drive thousands of miles this year to keep the children in 'Catholic schools. NC Photo.

10 Schaffers Attend Catholic Schools Ohio Family Digs Deeper and Does Without.

KINSMAN (NC)-"It's just a matter of deciding what's more important-color TV, a new car, a vacation or Catholic 'education," commented Robert Schaffer as he worked on his well-travelled car.

The speedometer registered 110,000 miles-and the transmission was not registering at all.

"We have to put first things first," the 43-year-old draftsman- ' farmer said in an interview.

"And we ,both regard Catholic education as first."

His attractive wife, Esther, 41, nodded.

Eight little Schaffel's will squeeze into the family's newer car (mileage 80,000) and head from their farm home near Kinsman to classes in two Catholic schools in Warren, _25 miles away.

They are probably Ohio's champion Catholic school commuters.

Ten of the 13 Schaffer children are in Catholic schools and colleges this year.

Swelling the pupil population at Sts. Peter and Paul, Warren, are Cathy 7, Paul 8, Jeanne 10, Barbara II, and John 13. Boosting Warren John F. Kennedy High School's enrollment are Jim 14, Mary Beth 16, and Mark 17.

Patricia, 20, will begin her senior year soon at St. John College, Cleveland. Bob, 18, is enrolling on a football scholarship at the University of Dayton.

Farmer by Night By the dollar standard, the Schaffers aren't rich. And when Ohio's bishops in July announced a $100 minimum tuition for every, Catholic school pupil, a less determined family might have tak路 en the cheaper and more convenient course-and enrolled their children in public schools.

But the Schaffer children have never gone to other than Catholic schools. (Daughters Iris (Savach) 23, who married in 1969

and Judith, 22, have finished school, and Lisa, 3, has yet to start.)

"We didn't consider for a moment withdrawing the kids," Schaffer said. "We figured we'd dig' a little deeper and do without a little more."

The family has never had a vacation. By day, the father is a draftsman for Westinghouse in Sharon, Pa., and by night tends to a herd of white fa~e Herefords and raises corn, oats, wheat and barley on his 160-acre farm.

"Tractors have little things called lights to make this possible," he joked.

Children Help The family d~cided to move from Greenville, Pa., to the Trumbull County farm eight years ago because "the $50 monthly milk bill was just' too much." Now, they have a cow which gives three to four gallons of milk a day, and what's left over goes to the family's 12 cats and two dogs.

Twenty-five chickens keep the family supplied with eggs. Mrs. Schaffer cans vegetables and fruit from the farm, and each weeks she bakes 20 dozens buns.

Ask Parents Control Sex Education BUFFALO (NC) - Sex education programs that tell a' child he is the ultimate judge of his own actions undermine parental, church and community authority, according to an association of Catholic priests, Religious and laymen here.'

The group, CREDO, said that sex education programs should not be state' controlled but should be made optional and parent controlled.

"Individaul morality promoted by the new sex education con路 tributes not only to an intellectual climate receptive to further drug abuse, but, by undermining authority at all levels, leads to crime in general," said CREDO.

"We could never do the work without the children's help," Mrs. Schaffer explained. "They make their beds in the morning and put away their clothes. Before school, the boys help their father do the chores."

Mrs. Schaffer drives the children to Warren to school. Her husband goes to his job in Sharon, also a 25-mile drive. To get all the work done, the family rises at 5:30 A.M. Despite the long day, the parents find time for school and parish activities. Schaffer is vicepresident, and Mrs. Schaffer a member, of the Sts. Peter and Paul Home and School Association. Schaffer belongs also to the Kennedy High Boosters. Both go to Kennedy High football games, and this Fall will watch their son, Mark, play the linebacker spot.

New Clothing Rules At Fatima Shrine FATIMA (NC)-Women wearing hot pants or miniskirts may not enter the famed Marian shrine here, according to newly posted notices.

Men are asked not to enter in shorts, not to smoke, and to keep their heads bare.

At one time women were not allowed to enter in slacks, but the prohibition was dropped because so many women came to the shrine wearing them.

SANTO DOMINGO (NC)-A charge by the Dominican Republic's bishops that violence is becoming a way of life in their country has stung the government into an angry reply.

A spokesman for President Joaquin Balaguer said violence has many sources among the Dominicans. He complained that the Church should work with the government in solving its causes rather than attacking Balaguer policies.

Coadjutor Archbishop Hugo Polanco Brito of Santo Domingo said, in response, that the July 30 statement by the bishops did not place blame for the situation on any single factor.

Archbishop Polanco stated in a newspaper interview: "We did not accuse any specific sectorthe government, private groups, nor even political parties - for the wave of violence, but rather every part of Dominican society."

The July statement was the latest in a series of appeals by the bishops since 1967, when political tensions led to many killings. Since then some 600 persons have been killed by terrorists or police. The number of victims has steadily increased since the formation of vigilante groups at the extreme right and left.

Archbishop Polanco said those who deny there is any violence in the country would "not dare to walk at night in certain sectors of town for fear of being assaulted, robbed or killed."

Priest Sentenced 'On Absentia' SYDNEY (NC)-The chaplain to the Slovak community here in Australia, Divine Word Father Jan Krasnansky, said he was sentenced in absentia to four years in jail by Czechoslovakian authorities.

The priest said he received word of the sentence from his brother. The reason given for the sentence was that in 1968 Father Krasnansky had not returned to Czechoslovakia after the expiration of a four-week t.ourist visa.

The priest had decided to stay in Austria to work among refugees. Last December, he was transferred to Australia to work among Slovak immigrants.

THE ANC~OR-t>iocese of Foil River-Thurs. Sept. 23, 1971

Priest Asserts Religion Alive In Russia SAN FRANCISCO (NC) - A Benedictine priest who visited Moscow in April said here "the spirit and practice of religion is not dead in Russia."

Writing in The Monitor, San FranciscO archdiocesan paper, the priest, Father Mark Tierney, said he toured Moscow on Holy Saturday morning and "saw men and women bringing eggs and bread, wrapped in linen cloths, on plates or in baskets to the churches to be blessed by the priests.

"All over Moscow people were doing the same, and when I visited some of the churches I found lines and lines of the faithful waiting their turn to have these offerings blessed.

"This is an old custom in Russia," he said, "and the blessed eggs and bread are eaten at breakfast on Easter Sunday morning. No one interferred with these Christian people making such an open and public avowal of their faith." , Father Tierney. said he at路 tended the Easter Saturday night vigil in the Orthodox Church of the Epiphany, which "was nearly packed when we arrived at about 10:45 P.M." He said that "when Archbishop Benjamin held up the paschal candle at midnight and said in modern Russian 'Christ is risen,' the whole congregation shouted back at him 'Yes, Christ is risen.'

Inner Spirit "There were so many people who could not get inside the' church that the archOishop had to go outside and show the paschal candle to them, and received the same enthusiastic reception as he got from the congregation inside.

"The church," he said, "was lit by hundreds of lights, and each of the congregation was given a small candle. I asked who was paying for all this and was told the state."

Father Tierney said two choirs sang continuously during the ceremony from 11 P.M. to 3:15 A.M. He was told they were all members of the' Bolshoi State Opera Company. ' "I can honestly say that the spirit and fervor of the Russian people in the Cathedral of the Epiphany on last Easter Saturday night surpassed anything I ever witnessed before," Father Tierney said.

"The communists have tried' to kill God and religion in Russia," he added. "The inner spirit of the Russian people, and the secret workings of the Spirit of God have been too much for them."

Archbishop Names Hospital Director MIAMI (NC)-Father Richard P. Scherer has been appointed director of hospitals by Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll.

Father Scherer, a native of Pittsburgh, has served as chaplain of Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale for the past three years. He said his new post will keep him "in regular contact with all those who perform, services in the four hospitals of the archdiocese, particularly in the area of moral and ethical problems."

Gives Permission with Misgivings

"l

JACKSON (NC)-Bishop Joseph B. Brunini of Natchez-Jackson said it was "not without deep misgivings" that he gave a diocesan priest permission to rtfn for the Mississippi senate on a ticket with Charles Evers, brother of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers.

The bishop told his diocesan newspaper, Mississippi Today, that his approval of the candidacy of Josephite Father William Morrissey of Fayette "does not mean that this diocese has a generally permissive attitude in these cases."

"As a matter of fact," the prelate added, "the diocesan policy is that priests are not to run for 'public office in Mississippi. Permission is being granted by exception to Father Morrissey."

Bishop Brunini said that in granting this "extraordinary permission,'" it should be clearly understood that no endorsement of his candidacy was implied or denied. "His candidacy must be

weighed on its own merits, as indeed every candidacy should," he stated.

Father Morrissey, running with Independent gubernatorial candidate Evers, will, oppose Democratic nominee Troy Watkins, a former mayor of N'atchez.

Hispanos Studying To Become Deacons TOLEDO (NC)-Two Hispano laymen, active in the Apostolate for the Spanish-speaking, are studying to become the Toledo diocese's first permanent deacons.

James Campos, 52, and Jose Romo 40, both of Toledo, expect to work in the area's Spanishspeaking community when they complete their two-year training.

Both are married and hold down full time jobs. They commute one night each week for classes in Detroit. The Detroit archdiocese sponsors a permanent diaconate training program for Hispanos.

Ambassador Says Africans Approve World Justice as Synod Theme WASHINGTON (NC)-African leaders arid people he has talked to are happy that the coming world Synod of Bishops will deal with development and world justice as one of its principal themes, the U.S. ambassador to Burundi in East Africa said here.

Nor, he said, had predictions that misstonaries would be ousted from A.frica along with the former colonial governments been realized. Missionaries are in Africa in greater numbers and are welcomed by the African governments, he said.

The ambassador, Thomas P. Melady, former chairman of the department of Asian studies and non-Western civilization at Seton Hall University, South Orange, N.J., said "the overriding concern in Africa is with development. This doesn't leave much time for international issues."

Joy Among Catholics

He said the people of Burundi and most black Africans, while 'opposed to the racial segregation praCticed in South Africa and Rhodesia, are more concerned with their own problems than with' those of blacks in those countries.

There is no widespread criticism of the United States or other developed countries, Melady said. "You just don't have at all the sort of criticism of the U.S. and the developed world that's present in Latin America."

Fears among U.S. government officials in the 1960s when African nations were gaining independence that those nations would swing leftward politically have not been confirmed, Melady said. The U.S. officials "just didn't give the Africans credit for independent thinking."

The ambassador predicted that the African bishops at the synod would be more concerned about the theme of world justice than about the priesthood, the synod's other principal theme.

He said the African clergy do not place great importance on the issue of priestly celibacy and, in fact, tend to resent the emphasis given the issue by European and North American pTiests.

"I've noted more joy among Catholics in Africa than in the United States," he said, adding that there is little theological ferment in Africa.

Speaking about Africa's future, he said, "I'm optimistic for this decade, not for magical solutions but because of the growing determination of the peoples to solve their own problems."

Melady, 43, born in Norwich, Conn., received a B.A. frOm Duquesne University in' Pittsburgh and a Ph.D. in international relations from the Catholic University of America in 1954.

Interest in Mary's' Role in the Ch""rch Casseroles Savory to Taste, To Grow 'at Time of Beatification While Simple to Prepare

Kolbe's death was the supreme witness of the discovery he strove to dramatize everywhere: he volunteered to take the place of an innocnt man condemned to die.

He did this so that the man- , a father-could return to his family, and so that the nine others also condemned could have a priest with them as they died.

With them he entered one of the infamous "starvation bunkers" of the Auschwitz death camp. With them he was stripped naked and left without food and water to die one of the slowest and most terrifying of deaths: starvation ,and dehydration.

"What was Fr. Maximilian Kolbe's secret? What is the key to his life and his death?

"The response is simply and unquestionable: his love for Our 'Lady, the Virgin Immaculate. A love not in the least sentimental, but springing up from the depths of theology and the unfathomably rich reservoir of tradition.

"The marvelous Chapter VIII of Lumen Gentium, dedicated to 'Mary, The Blessed Virgin Mother of God, in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church,' sums up in a powerful outline all his Marian teaching."
