"Many young people from parishes and dioceses of our co~ntry who will enter the army in the years ahead are well qualified to serve as chaplain 'assistants," Bishop Moran said. The ordinariate, he said, endorses the program "most enthusiastically."

Human Life Continued from Page One of human life. At the sprJng gathering of the American Bishops last April, a plan was devised for reiterating forcefully th~ oonclusions which our F,aith prompts us to f-orm with regard. to respect and devotion for life.

The Bishops called for a special observance: We propose a VVeek of Prayer and Study focusing on the santtlity 'Of human life, and the many threats t.o human life in the modern world, including war, vio-" leoce, hunger and poverty ...

Throughout that week, we will urge that educational programs be conducted on the dignity of human life and the resppnsibility of society tlo protect all its members-the unborn child, and also the aged, sick and disadvantaged.

In this first week of the month of October, ~he cycle of liturgical feasts celebrated at Mass' includes the observances honoring the Holy Guardian Angels, the beloved Saint Francis of Assisi, and our Blessed Mother of the Most Holy Rosary. During these days, an intense period of publdc prayer that life in every form . and condition be respected is appmpriately proposed to' all our faithful. We shall implore Our Heavenly Father for peace and justice among all men, the basic condition upon which rests every speoific manifestation of respect for 'life. We recommend' prayerfuI remembrance of the poor, the ,aged, those yet unborn, our young people, families and family life. We urge the study and consideration of problems and solutions affecting life and its sanctity in schools, catechetical classes and adult educational forums.

As our public act of worship proceeds today, we shall recite a special Prayer of the Faithful. , Today, and at Mass and in devo:' tions during this week, I urge all to share in the formula of prayer, itself, and particularly in its consequences. Christ came in order that we might enjoy life-and in abundance. Cherish, preserve, protect and respect life as faithful imitators of bur Lord, and maYI God prosper and bless the Christ-like life we share, Devotedly yours in Christ, Bishop of Fall River._

,

l

That we might commit ourselves to relieve the distress of those who suffer the humiliation of pove'rtY through generosity and throu~h dedication to social justice, let us pray to the Lord.

That'the vision of our youth be quick to identify those' things which threaten the dignity of life and to combat injustice wherever it is found, let us pray to the Lord.

Since peace can be ~uilt on no other foundation ,than justice, liberty and love, that all men may look, upon one another as your children, let us pray to the Lord.

That. our many families may reflect the charity of the Holy Family'and may be signs of God's saving presence in the world, let us pray to the Lord.

That Almiighty God may grant eternal happy repose to all the faithful departed, especially to (here parish deceased are mentioned), let us pray. to the Lord.

Celebrant:

All:

o God, may all

of us, made fo Your image and enjoying the authentic dignity of persons, be boun4 to one another in equal affection, harmony of mind, and the work of mutual sanctification. Thus, following Christ, the principle of life, by the sacrifices and joys of our vocation and through our faithful love, may we become witnesses of the mystery of love which the Lord revealed to' the world by his death and resurrection.

Reilly said that as atesult of the choice of Murray as spokesman for nonpublic sch091 te!!-c:hers, "It almost seems that nonpublic school teachers are opposed to tax credits." , The Philadelphia union head said that while tax credits will not provide for equal distribu· tion of educational funds, th,ey will "relieve some of the double burden of parents paying for the costs of children in public and nonpublic schools."

Murray had complained that, the bill would only benefit the more affluent and would do nothing for the' poor who wish to send their children to nonpublic schools. He said, however, that his union supports aid for all children-those in nonpublic as well ,as public schools.

He said that, instead of tax credits, federal funds' should be used to improve existing programs which assist children in nonpubHc schools. ':- ~ I J

WASHINGTON (NC) - A national organization of black Catholics is sponsoring a drive to raise funds' for six programs designed to promote Catholicism in black communities.

The National Office for Black Catholics (NOBC), a 3,OOO-member independent group, said its drive aJims to collect $350,000 through collections in all dioceses with 2,500 or more black Catholics.

The NOBC said envelopes and brochures expiaining the drive, called "Black Concerned," will be distributed in parishes cooperating lin the program on Oct. 1 and that collections will be taken up Oct. 8.

The group saicl... its wants the funds to 'recruit blacks to Religious life, develop black CathoHc lay leadership, finance continuing education programs for black Re)igious, foster forms of worship having elements of the black heritage, offer training programs for non-blacks working in bLa'ck areas and establish a training center for black priests.

The NOBC was affiliated wdth the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. Funds for its operations must now be obta'ined outside the bishops' groups, such as through the "Black Catholics Concerned" campaign.

Workers Say Land Reforms Harmful QUITO (NC) - Fifty years of attempts at land reform throughout Latin America have ,actually, harmed, poor farmworkers, according to the Latin American Workers Cqnfederation.

A report by its farmworkers union, issued at the end of a month-long inter-American meeting here, said at the root of the problem is "the unfair 'limd tenure system" in which large landholdings continue under control of a few rich persons. :"About '{)ne per cent of all farms are 2,400 acres or bigger and they swallow two thirds of all cultiv.ation a",eas, while almost 80 per ce'nt of farms are under 50 acres and take up 'only 5 per cent of all lands," the report' said.

In hundreds of towns and Villages in our 18 country mission world. In Arampilly, India for instance. . . . The parishioners have tried for several years to build a church on their own.

They have pooled their meager financial resources as well as their physical energies. The poverty of the parishioners prevents continua· tion of the work.

SeesR'endezV1ous With History CASTELGANDOLFO (NC)The unevangelized world offers the Church "a rendezvous with history, a date set by God," and to miss it would mean "incalculable damage" to the Church's future, Pope Paul VI told about 2,000 'participants in an Italian national congress on pontiifical missionary undertakings, which had been meeting at Rome.

He urged those connected with missionary work to hold high their hopes, keeping faith in their work 'and faith in Christ.

At the congress itself in Rome, Cardinal John J. Wright, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, told participants: "The day when the Roman Catholic Church stops carrying the faith to new lands and new horizons, the faith will die."

'It wiH die, the American cardinal said, "precisely in those lands where it established itself through the merits of the first AposUes and whence it has come to us as an inheritance."

"The reason is simple. Faith without works is dead, as Holy Writ says. For that reason we must spread the faith in order to keep it."

They greet the road as an old friend to be visited with, enjoyed comfortably. They and the road are happy in each other's company ... they thoroughly understand each other.

And I envy them!

'Because, there's the other category that' I fall into. I hate driving. I fear parkways. I loathe traffic. I detest expressways. I despise trucks, particularly big, rumbilng, overbearing trucks.

And, I am out-and-out scared to death of driving 'in truck traf,f,ic on expressways!

We live in the suburbs, about 10 miles outside the city limits.

I do moderately well on the local roads. I can get from here to church; to the supermarket; I can even get -to the railroad station without it being a problem.

But there are no expressways between here and church, the supermal'ket and the 'railroad station.

My problem is ... I hate to merge. I know what I'm supposed to do. I should get up steam on the approach, and just slip 'in behind a moving car.

But what about the ten thousand other cars that are pouring' down right behind that car? No one mentions those in the drivers' handbooks!

Merge with Mary Besides, I was frightened by an expressway approach as a child. Well, not really a child ... but a few years ago, I was zipping along, all set to merge into that one little open space, and some "thoughtful" (that's not exactly what, I called him) dl'iver, changed lanes, took my spot and left me trapped on the end of the approach.

So I evolved a better system.

I avoided expressways. But the only places' that left me to go were the supermarket, church and the railroad station.

The read and I came to a showdown. I,had to make a trip ... .the expressway was the only route. Then 1 made a marvelous 'discovery. You know aH those signs they put up ... "entrance to route 495-1 mile ahead" ...

"495-y:! mile ahead" ... "merge here for 495" ...

I just learned what they are for. From the first instant, when I see the first warning, that's when I start praying. "Ma,ry, please make room." "Mary please get all those other cars out of the way." "Mary make a big space for me." "Please .

Mary ... we're almost there' . get rid of those other cars."

Do you know, it works?

I just made an expressway trip that required six merges.

The traffic was heavy, but every time, there was room f,or me.

The only thing that troubles me, when I got home, I was almost sure I heard a voice from the trunk, "Hey, Chris ... move over!"

Articles of Christian Medieval Art Uncovered for Public Viewing COLOGNE (NC)-Some of the world's most beautiful examples of Christian medieval art, removed from public view for many years, are on display again at the museum of the Cologne archdiocese.

Reopened late in August near the south portal of the twin-spired ,Cologne cathedral, the city's world-famous landmark - the museum houses a small but choice collection rated as superb by art experts.

A high point in the collection is "Madonna With the Violets," a fascinating picture of the Blessed Virgin by Stefan Lochner. The paihting shows the Madonna standing, the child under her right arm, two violets in her right hand.

Diocese to Continue Communal Absolution JUNEAU (NC) - The Juneau diocese will continue to use communal absolution as one form of administering the, sacrament of penance, a diocesan spokesman told NC News here in Alaska.

Bishop Francis T. Hurley instituted communal absolution here last spring as a "pastoral solution for Catholics who were avoiding Mass and the sacraments because of serious problems with private confession.

"At our last priests' meeting we decided to use communal absolution four times a' year," said Father Robert Mihelyi, director of communications and editor of the diocesan newsletter, Inside Passage."The practice will be linked to the three major feasts of the Church year-'-Christmas, Easter and Pentecost - and in the fall to the feast of our diocesan patroness, St. Theresa."

Communal absolution will also be used on other occasions, Where a priest comes around only once a month, and at canning factories when they are open' during their five-month season. '.

Another notable exhibit is a 16th-century Cologne carpet with scenes of the Old and New Testament. The priceless piece was recently restored by Carmelite nuns, a task that took more than 18 months.

A sandstone figure about 17 inches tal! made by Cologne sculptor Konrad Kuyn around 1445 is considered one of the most realistic sculptures of that era.

Jewelry items from the Frankish royal burial vaults under the cathedral are also rare examples of medieval art.

The original diocesan museum, the second oldest in this city on the Rhine, was destroyed in a World War II air raid, but most of the collection -survived. p.art of it went on view again from 1953 to 1964 in a former school house.

Although the new 'museum was completed in 1964, long restoration work on some exhibits and the serious illness of the former museum director delayed the opening until now.

Translates Social Teaching Into Action VATICAN CITY (NC) - Ho~ to translate into action the Church's concern for social, economic and political justice in today's world is the ambitious program of the plenary meeting of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace.

Twenty-five members and consultors chosen by P.ope Paul VI from all parts of the world met in Rome for 'a week to map out the general outlines of the new three-year experimental period of the commission. The commission was established by Pope Paul in 1967 for a five-year period to research and deal with a broad spectrum of problems that face man in today's world.

Louisiana-born Msgr. Joseph Gremillion, secretary of the commission fTom its beginning, said that at the end of the first experimental period "we asked the Holy Father not to establish us in an inflexible structure," but to leave "us free in the future to deal with the multiple problems facing Christians in the world" in whatever way seemed most adaptable.

"Don't freeze us, we asked," said Msgr. Gremillion at a meeting during the recent plenary session. "Give us more time to experiment. And the experiment continues."

Bishops Seeking Loca I.Reaction To Council

NEW YORK (NC)-Jewish organizations which oppose government aid to nonpublic schools were. called on to "repent of their diehard and unrelenting efforts to deprive Jewish education of any and every form of indirect government assistance."

WASHINGTON (NC) - An agency of the U. S. bishops conference is seeking parish and diocesan reaction to the possi~ hility of Catholic membership in the National Council of Churches.

The plea came from Rabbi Morris Sherer, executive president of Agudath Israel of America, an Orthodox Jewi~h group. and the president of Citizens Relief for Education by Income Tax (CREDIT).

The effort comes in the form of a study and discussion guide distributed by the secretariat of the bishops' Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs Committee.

Diocesan ecumenical affairs offices were asked to hold discussion sessions within the next two months and to forward responses to the secretariat here.

That office expects to have the results ready for the full committee in January.

Rabbi Sherer was angered by the fact that at recent House Ways and Means Committee pearings, eight Jewish organizations had testified against the Mills-Carey bill that would aid the parents of nonpublic schools through the use of income rtax credits.

The local discussions will center on a report ,issued last year by a joint Catholic-NCC study committee. The report recommended Catholic membership in the NOC, whose membership now consists of 33 Protestant and Orthodox churches.

Rabbi Sherer who testified for the bill, said that "non~ Orthodox" Jewish groups have consistently claimed that the Jewish community can support its schools without government aid, but have done nothing to help the schools.

The report was submitted to the NCC and the Catholic bishops early this year. A Catholic spokesman said then tl!at the report and reactions to it would be carefully studied before the bishops made a decision.

Problems The report cOllcluded that while Catholic membership "might enkiridle the ecumenical enthusiasm of many Roman Catholics, which has somewhat subsided since the days of Vatican N, 'and at the same time strengthen the commitment of the present member churches of the NCC to the aims and purposes of the ecumenical movement."

The discussion guide suggests that the report should be considered by groups "small enough to involve everyone in discussion." The groups should be' representative of the parish or diocese and they should contain members of churches now members of the NCC. The discussion guide contains 11 sections on historical, practical and theological aspects of the issue.

Catholic Who's Who Volume Published WASHINGTON (NC) - NC Publications, Inc. has released its firsf volume of The American Catholic Who's Who, a listing of prominent Catholic clergy, laity and ol1ganizations in the United States.

The 445-page, hard-cover book is the 20th such reference vol" ume produced since 1934. Nineteen previous editions of the biennial publication had been released 1;>y a layman, Walter Romig of Detroit.

The book, which contains about 4,500 entries, has an alphabetical listing of prominent American Catholics, a roster of members of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, a geographical listing of individuals and a necrology.

ALHAMBRA CLASS NAMED IN HONOR OF BISHOP: Among the principals at the installation of the Class named in honor of Bishop Cronin during ceremonies held Sunday in Plymouth were: Rev. John J.

'Ghetto' Bishop Sees Hope for. the CHICAGO (NC) - The inner city of Chicago has varied meanings for various pe9ple. Some may look at aged buildings in the the final stages of decay and consider the inner city a disaster area, perhaps to be the site for new apartment buildings for the more affluent.

Others look at the people living ,in the inner city area and see their struggle for identity, for a better life, a better education for their children, and are reasonably optimistic about thefuture. ' Auxiliary Bishop Michael R. Dempsey, pastor of Our Lady of.

Lourdes in the inner oity, is among the latter. He is coordinator of the "Inner City Apostolate of the Chicago archdiocese and for years has been intimately concerned with inner .city problems.

Since his ordinatjon in 1943, he has served the poor of his native city. In 1968 he wasnamed auxiliary bishop to Cardinal John Cody of Chicago.

'Always Optimistic' Known as Chicago's "ghetto" bishop, he was appointed in October 1967 by Cardinal Cody to coordinate the work of inner city 'parishes. "1 am not in charge of inner city parishes," he emphasizes, "but I draw them together to realize the vision of the Church today."

As national director of the U. S. bishops' anti-poverty Campaign for Human Development, Bishop Dempsey also oversees a multi-miIlion dollar fund-rais'ing effort which provides self help projects on local and national levels.

Recently he was named to receive the 1972 Good Samaritan Award of the National Catholic Development - Conference. The award goes annually to the person "whose life-work embodies the true spirit of the original

Good Samaritan" of the Gospel. "'I am always optimistic about the situation in the inner city," Bishop Dempsey said, as we talked in his small office on Chicago's southwest side.

Catholic PreSS Still Essential WASHINGTON (NCr -"" The Catholic press, in the United States is aHing but in no danger of dying,aocording to a survey of diocesan newspapers' by a U. S. Catbolic Conference subcommittee.

The survey report notes declines in circulation and income, and it recommends that the iIls of the Catholic press be overcome by increased cooperation among diocesan newspaper executives, the National Catholic News Service and Catholic Press Association.

In its observations on tl"\e sur-. vey of III diocesan neWISpapers, the subcommittee declared: "Things are bad in some areas of the Catholic press, but not _disastrously so. The losses in circulat,ion and revenue are real problems, but the time to solve them has not passed."

The panel added: "The report gives no evidence that the Catholic press is in danrger of expiring. It seems, rather, to have taken to bed with a bad virus. In some individual in.stances the virus has been com· plicated by a feeling of. depression or mala·ise. Such feelings are not altogether unkOown in other areas of Catholic life today."

"Yet, as that feeling' illustrates," the ree-0rt says, "thete has never been a time when an alert diocesan press was more lessential to the vigor of the Church."

P04)r

the archdiocese of Chicago has had to provide for the' hiner c,ity parishes can give the impression the inner city people are not taking care of their s:chools.. or are not fulfilling their own obligations. Exactly the opposite is true," he said. ' "In the inner city o,f Chic:ago today Y0l:l have a great group of dynamic priests, Religious and laymen .who are totally committed to the -better life of people who are· living in poverty, and yet .have the same hopes and ".aspirations for self·determination that. people consider necessary- fo"r a truly human life."

Bishop Dempsey said that the inner city poor in many parishes have the dynamism and energy to attack the root causes of problems and have come up with some excellent solutions.

Besides better .child :care and education, he says, the poor have also pressed fo'r better jobs, better" housing and greater determination in the j political activity of their own Communities. "And in all of this, the Ch"urch is working with them," Bishop Dempsey sa,id.

Expect Missouri Ruling on Free Textbook Law ST. LOUIS (NC)-A ruling on the validity of Missouri's new state textbook law, which provides some free textbooks for students attending nonpublic schools, will come before the end of September, St. Louis County Judge Orville Richardson said here.

The case grew more complex as hearings scheduled for one day stretched out into almost a week as opponents and proponents of the free textbook law fought the legal battle.

The initial fight came on the constitutionality of t,he new law which requires public school districts to provide free textbooks for all children in their district, regardless of whether they attend public, private or churchrelated schools. The issue was whether this violated the separation of church 'and state guaranteed by the Missouri Constitution.

But the Ladue School District asked Judge Richardson also to entertain testimony on another issue - that the statute as drafted is vague and indefinite and cannot be equitably administered.

Promises Prompt Ruling A day later a third issue was_ interjected when an attorney representing parents of students who support -the statute presented evidence that alleged that if nonpublic school children are not given free textbooks they would be denied equal protection of the law.

After a conference in chambers with attorneys for both sides, Judge Richardson allowed that issue to be put into the case.

After -testimony from both sides was concluded, Judge Richardson announced that attorneys have until Sept. -28 to file written briefs in support of their contentions.

"The case will be submitted on Sept. 28, whether or not the briefs are all in," he cautioned the attorneys.

The judge, who made it clear earlier- that he considers the matter one of "great public importance," promised he would be "very, ,very prompt" in ruling.

"Probably within 48 hours of receiving all the briefs," he said.

'Benefits the Child' Public school districts will receive money from the free textbook fund about mid-October.

The new law went into effect Aug. 13, but money to implement it is not in hand.

The judge announced that he wanted "to make it very clear that I have not reached any conclusion" ,in the. case as yet.

But he advised attorneys to consider the Missouri Constitution oarefully in their briefs.

-Proponents of the new textbook law say it is not a violation of the church-state separation provision because it "benefits the child" 'and not the religious-connected school the child attends.

Judge Richardson pointed out that "some things may be constitutional but not under the Missouri constitution."

He noted that the Missouri Constitution prohibits the enacting of a law benefiting the individual.

WASHINGTON (NC)-A Jesuit educator from Zaire said that the Africanization program instituted by that country's president, which provoked a disagreement with the archbishop of Kinshasa, "can only have a good effect" on the country's Catholic schools.

The priest, Father Ekwa bis Isal, president of the Bureau of Catholic Education in Zaire, is on a three-week educational study tour of the United States funded by a State Department grant.

"Every .human -being must know himself and be himself," Father Ekwa said, speaking of the Africanization program.

"Someone who defines his value in relation to others is, in a sense, a slave. If Zairians attempt to copy the West, they create nothing originaL" A part of an effort to reduce European influence and make every aspect of life thoroughly African, Zaire's President Mobutu Sese Seko last October changed his own name, the name of the country (formerly the Democratic Republic of the Congo), its flag, anthem and geographical names.

Cardinal Joseph Malula of Kinshasa was later expeHed from from his state-owned residence and excluded from a national honorary order after Afrique Chretienne (Christian Africa), a Catholic weekly, published t~e cardinal's article criticizing Mobutu's program, especially changing Christian names to African ones. The magazine was suspended.

"Mobutu doesn't say that the culture of Zaire is the only one, or that it is superior to others," Father Ekwa said. The program "can only have a good effect in Catholic schools," he said.

The priest also said that the disagreement between Mobutu and Cardinal Malula has been resolved.

Catholic schools play a major role in Zairian' education, Father Ekwa said. Of the country's 3.3 million primary school students, 2 million are in Catholic schools.

Stress Religious Education Uni-ty On Doctrine MINNEAPOLIS (NC)-Speakers at the Upper Midwest Congress on Religious Education have stressed the need for religious educators to overcome differences among themselves' and -,the laity on Catholic doctrine. Msgr. Daniel J. Tarrant, associate pastor at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish and Student Center of Iowa University, told 'about 4,000 educators and parents at the congress: "We aren't going to bring in the harvest if we spend most of the time throw,ing grapes at each other."

He also asserted neither ultraliberals nor ultra-conservatives live by the spirit because they try to take the Ohurch out of modern life.

"One tries to bury the church, the other tries to put it in a museum," he said' at the congress' opening address.

In his speech, Father Carl T. Peter said the task of the religious educator is to communicate witlh different groJlps in the Chl.nch to teach unity.

"Usually, we seem to unite 'a few groups at the cost of alienating the same number," claimed the president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and Catholic University professor. "This does not have to be.

Our job as religious educators is to help all of these groups move ahead together for- God's greater glory and man's good."

Father Alfred McBride, a Nationa,l Catholic Education Association o(ficial, joined Msgr. Tarrant in cbilding what he termed liberal and conservative "polarity groups." He sadd members of these factions are so serious, "I'm sure Christ on the -Cross must have looked more pleasant."

"There is no need to be sad in teadh'ing religion," said the priest, director of the NCEA's National .Forum for Religious Educators._ Father McBride said an "Age of the Spirit" was immiment. He told educators to take the age, which he said the young called "The Age of Aquarius," beyond "the human level to the divine.

Show them the world beyond human reason."

He also told the audience to "encourage the dreams" of the young and to express by their own dedication the same "motiveless love" Ch~ist did in becomring man to save the world.

The priest addressed the final session of the three-day congress, sponsored by the Minnesota Catholic Conference education department and by Catholic education officials from Minnesota and North and South Dakota.

Participants in the congress, held at the Minneapobis Convention Center, came from 11 states and Canada.

p'riest 'Arrested BliLBAO (NC)-Spanish police here arrested Father Julian Renteria Urald, 46, on charges of aiding a band of terrorists working for a separate Basque state..

The priest, born here but naturalized a Chilean .during his years in that .South American country, is assistant pastor at the suburban .parish of Baracaldo.

Sense of Solidarity On Yom Kippur JACKSON (NC)-Bishop Joseph Brunini of Natchez-Jackson has sent a letter to Rabbi Perry E. Nussbaum in which he expressed ,the Catholiic community's "sense of solidarity with our Jewish hrothers" on the occasion of Yom Kippur, Jewish day of atonement.

"The cruel suffering visited upon the Jewish people during the past year in Israel, Munich, in Russia, and so many other places, adds' a poignant note to this expression of brotherliness," the bishop told the rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel here.

The Mississippi bishop added: "What better occasion for Christians to speak in terms of atonement. for all that has afflicted the Jewish people, not alone in this sad moment of history but throughout the centuries. On this day we together ask our Common Father to forgive us our trespasses and to grant us a true sense of sorrow.

A partial list of the .latest award ,recipients, their addresses, how much money they received, and for what purposes, follows: Simpson Street Development Association, New York, $40,000 to "organize tenants to deal with housing needs and problems."

Poor People's Action Coalition, Manchester, Ky., $33,000 for ".well drHling to bring safe water to rural counties."

South Macon County Co-op, Tuskegee, Ala., $26,000 to "stimulate employment and supplement income of poor· families."

TRIP Consumer Education Program, Troy, N. Y. $25,000 to "involve the poor in revitalizing their neighbo~hood."

Los Trabajadores de la Raza, Taos, N. M., $22,700 for a "transportation project for rural Mexican Americans."

West Point Woodcraft and Community Cannery, West Point, Miss., $15,000 for "matching funds to generate monies to start co-op."

PARIS (NC) - An open letter from 317 French Protestant ministers to Protestants in South Africa criticized that country's apartheid policy of strict racial segregation as "a political error and a moral fault." ~ Writing to the French Reformed Churches of South Africa, the ministers, members of the Protestant Federation of France, said they "are troubled to think that the Reformed Churches to which you belong are now divided on a racia'l basis."

The French ministers accused South African Protestants of giving theological support to the thesis that the white minority in South Africa has "a mission of supervision and domination'·~ over black South Africans.

"This concept of the 'national mission' of a racial minority/' the j),etter continued, "seems to us not only a political error and a moral falult; it is very grave because it covers itself with, a religious intel'Pretation that is, in our ey,es, a perversion of the authentic Christian faith."

The ministers said that the situation in South Africa is a "gross" form of the problems of "our white Western 'Christian' world, which accommodates itself too easily still to the perpetuation of relations of domination in direct or indirect form, military, cultural, economic, over hundreds of millions of men ¢ 'color' and poor men. Weare well aware that our 'judgment' of 'apartheid' is a judgment of ourselves."

Aroma of Home Canning Is Stuff of Nostalgia

Publicity ganizations news items Anchor, P.

02722.

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick

The old art of canning is closely associated with the .garden. This year we have already made about eight full jars of piccalilli and now we are planning to make a few more of sweet relish, using our leftover green tomatoes.

The children love the process of canning and I have to ad- convince myself that a few scratches on the dark wood will mit that I get a big kick out give the door character - yo!.! of it myself.' This coming know, that lived-in look. weekend we are going to make plum jam. We have a plum tree that is loaded with good-sized plums and a few of those will make their way into our plum jam. This will be our first attempt· of this kind of jam, but since the plums are available we might as weli put them to use.

In addition to the plums we have a good supply of peaches just coming into maturity and these we will use for jam and a few bottles of brandied peaches. 1J1e latter are particularly tasty and relatively easy to make.

No Fun for Aunts The canning that we do is not too difficult because we use very small amounts of everything, but I can remember when my aunts' on the farm did canning and it was a huge task that consumed many days of hard work.

It really wasn't much fun for . them.

Of ·course, canning is foolish if the ingredients or most of them have to be purchased. It becomes worthwhile only if the major portion of the ingredients are niadily availa.ble. There really isn't too much sense in preserving food if it ends up costing more than it would in the local supermarket.

One thing ~at can' never come from the supermarket, however, is that very special odor that permeates a house while the ingredients for canning are being chooped or set to boiling on the kitchen stove.

It is like the smell of homemade bread. Nothing is like it and nothing can replace it; It ·is the stuff from which nostalgia is bred.

Basque Bish,op Bans Political Sermons BILBAO (NC)--'Bishop Antonio Anoveros of Bilbao, an advocate of social ·reform, warned priests to avoid "political and s'ocialistic trends" in their sermons..

Bilbao, in the Basque country, has been rocked inth~ recent past by' labor strikes and separatist drives against the Spanish government of Gen. Francisco Franco.

Order of Sameness

By BARBARA WARD

Document are aware of these more profound difficulties. They see that a nation's "authentic, creative personality" has come into being. But what exactly, in ,this sense of life and creativity, does nationhood mean?

We all know human beings who, somehow, do not seem fully alive. They have become typesT.V. personality, Big Tycoon, Exurbanite. We miss the authentic beat of life, the -quirks, the dreams, the language, the honesty that makes them real.

But the same risk of simply, being a copy of a nation can exist for new states. Many of them are not yet 25 years 'old. Many of them have never been anything like a "nation-state" before. Should they just copy other traditions?

In a Unique Way For instance, should every new nation in French-speaking Africa feel itself a mini-version of France? Should the administration of ,a vast state like India still, as it were, feel British. As states are created in the wake of the Western World's colonial retreat, they are shaking off alien control in the external sense. How much of it lives on 'in the soul? And ho,w much should do so since, not all in the .inheritance is false and one would hardy like to revert to human sacrifice ~ as Aztec Mexico-simply to prove one was not Spanish or' Christian.

As the Bishops put it, there is no way forward to effective. statehood if the search for identity is only based an "sacred historical customs and venerable ways of life." Africa cannot return to voodoo or India to suttee (widow-burning) or China t() ancestor-worship any more than the people of Massachusetts can go in for another rousing cycle of witch-hunting.

But the problem of finding a national identity goes deeper than simply finding the right expression for the post-colonial experience. Our late 20th century is a time when nearly every nation faces the problem of expressing its particular genius in a unique and valid way. The reason is quite simply that science and technology which dominate ' 2 '. t

We must first implement this fundamental decision. ,"The ,first step will be the search for an outstanding man to serve as dean; a second step will be short and long-range solicitation of extra funds necessary to support this great undertaking."

The university already has begun a search for a dean for the proposed school. Bishop WilHam W. 8aum of Springfield· Cape Girardeau, Mo., has beeD named chairman of a seven· member committee to find such an offiicial. The prelate is II trustee of the university.

A technological order is, inevitably, an order of sameness.

As the cars move in, the skyscrapers move up and the smog moves in; often -all that is left for beauty and variety in the worid's cities is the inheritance of a dead King's park or a Prince-Bishop's Castle. The twentieth ·century offers the suburbs and the super-highway. We do not cross oceans to look at them.

Increasing Uniformity So states which inherit almost no culture from the past enter nationhood against a background of increasing uniformity.

Even nations with roots deep down in two thousand and more years of culture-Greece, China, Northern India-see the ancient order being st~adily overlaid by unifying science and standardizing technology. Are we then really condemned to a single world order of steel and concrete and mass - consumption within which any, "authentic creative personality" among the nations will simply /wither away?

To this question, which confronts all the world's peoples, the Synodal document makes three separate answers which take up much of the sections concerned with programs for action. The first condition for an effectlve response is that modernization should aim to "serve the good of ,the nation." The second is that it must be rooted in "a true so· dal memory." The third is part of a wider context-the emer· gence of the environmental issue as a central world fact.

Modernization pursued solely for state power or for private greed will inev.itably destroy genuine culture. Mo'dernization without a creative memory of the past leads to a shallow technological order. Modernization without ecological balance can destroy not only nations but the , 1 ' planet itself.

It's a favorite gospel theme: things are not nearly what they seem. You can say the r,ight words without doing the right actions. To talk piously and to be a good person are not the same thing. They can go together: Jesus was pious. But they are, often miles apart.

Anyone returning from Ireland is asked about the trouble in the North. But if he did not get into Ulster,· he knows little more of the situation there than a person who has not set foot in Ireland recently. The turmoil in the North has had a damaging effect on tourism in the electricity.. The cut pieces are neatly stacked in small pyramids South.

taken fear of vioience. There is none of that in the South, which is as tranquil and pleasant a place as earth can boast.

Until now I had never been in the uniquely beautiful West of Ireland. Its special quality one begins to see during the drive, of some 60 miles, between Shannon and Galway City. One experiences it more fully when, recovered from the transAtlantic flight, one goes out from the city to explore the region which bears the romantically res.onant name of Connemara.

In the Mountains This is a region dominated by mountains, a hosting of heights blue in the distance but a marbled grey-,green when seen close to. The sky above them seems infinitely spacious, and the clouds drifting across it are continental ·1n size and various in color-now pristine white; now washed in gold, now stormbruised.

The foreground is richly green, with here and there a patch which resembles a large straw mat, this being a field where hay has lately been cut. Such a field gives off a sweet, cinnamony scent, contrasting with the more acrid smell of peatbein'g burned in the widely spaced cottages which are whitewashed and neatly thatched.

The abundance of rock is astonishing, and nowhere else are there such stone fences. These run along the serpentine road and off across the landscape as far as the eye can reach. They meander and converge drunkenly, .sometimes enclosing a tiny, irregular bit of earth and confining a single cow.

Th~ moment we settle down and decide that now .we ~ve this reLigion business all figulled out, there is no place else to go, we know God's will and we are doing it and he really finally ought to be satisfied - at that moment we find ourselves standing among the Pharisees to whom Jesus originally told this story. -But then he must finish by telling us, as he told them: "The prostitutes are entening the kingdom of God before you are."

The ooze of the peat bogs is an oily black, contrasting with the brilliant blue. of the ,innumerable lakes, like sapphires strewn on velvet, and the gleaming green of the sea which is constantly glimpsed as the road nudges the coast.

Wild flowers are everywhere -daisies, thistles, clover, Queen Anne's lace, honeysuckle (or something much like it), water lilies, as well as more exotic species, including tiny wild orchids.

Bog cotton is the name given a green blade topped by a' wisp of white fluff. 'Black beef cattle are sighted now and then, and hardy sheep which appear to be entirelyon their own, shepherdless.

Of course, .people can change for the ibetter and people can change for the worse. It is not just change that is so wonderful.

It is willingness to look and listen to what is going on in the world, and entertain the possibility that we are 'and have been wrong.

As people change, for better or worse, the world around them changes too. This process goes on without end, through all of human history. Every ohange in other people, every change in the world about us, puts a new demands on us. How shall we respond to what is going on?

Splendid Panorama Few people are to be seen in the lonely e~panse: a middle-aged man riding a bicycle or pushing it up an incline, another in a small cart drawn by a shaggy ass, an aproned woman persuading a couple of cows into a field, two children in the sunlight at a cottage door. But everyone gives you a .friendly wave. .

Gift of Change The first recorded preaching of Jesus was the simple message: "Reform your lives! The kingdom of God is at hand." l1he first preaching of the first disciples at Pentecost is given in Acts as "Have a change of heart and mind!"

The Aran Islands lie 30 miles off the Galway coast, and can be reached by boat or plane. We visited the largest of the three, Inishmore, eight miles long and with a population of some 1,600.

The wild loveliness of Inishmore endures. As one' proceeds, in a jouncing side car, along the rising road, which rings to the horse's hoofs" a splendid panorama unfolds. There is the sweep and scintillance of the sea, and then the tapestry of v.erdure and rock, the sturdy cottages which must stand fast against the mighty wind, and finally the uplands, crowned at one end by Dun Aengus, a bristling for.t of prehistoric origin, with walls 18 to 20 reet thick.

Vatican Council A Jewish show business friend of Turk's from years back paid perhaps the supreme tribute when he commented to the band leader: "Another one of these, Turk, and I will convert." Murphy smiled at this, knowing that the County Cork Catholicism of his ancestors got lost somewhere in the move from Ireland to the United States.

It may seem a strange change to have jazz musicians at Holy Mass, but I do not think we can question the fact that Turk Murphy and his confreres are true artists. Should we not then admit them and their music into Catholic worship?

The power to change ourselves is perhaps the greatest gift God gave us. Possessing this gift we do not have to be afraid of the changes that we see in others or in the world around us. Each such change outside becomes only one more inv,itation from God to examine our own situation and respond; to be ready 'if necessary, to change.

Chairman Mao always ,tnsisted that revolutionaries must swim in the sea of people, meaning that if guerrillas did not have some sort of support from the larger population, the revolution was doomed to failure. Thesuccess of Che Guevera in Cuba and his failure "in Bolivia showed the difference that "swimming in the sea .of people" makes.

Change and God's Call Exhilaratting

'Thrill' Killers But the point is not to compare the size of various tragedies. One person killed in a senseless conflict is an intolerable evil. The point is, rather, that within its' own ratherdi'minutive context, the conflict in Ulster is a disaster .which, has torn apart the social fabric of the society ,that had' very little to bind it together in the first place. The fact ,that a good deal of ·the killing now is being done, not by the IRA, ,but by "thrill" killers, indicates how badly the social structure of UI,ster has deteriorated.' ' , What is worse, a solution seems as far away as ever. One has 'a terrible feeling when one .hears the daily TV reports of the violence in the North' of Ireland that long after the Indians and the Pakistani, the Jews and the Arabs, the Ibos and the Hausas, and even the blacks and the whites in the United States have , 'settled their conflicts, Catholic.> and Protestants in the North of Ireland will continue to battle wtth one another.

Urges Eliminating Religious Belief MOSCOW (NC)-Pravda, the Soviet communist party newspaper, has urged renewed effor-ts to eliminate religious belief in the Soviet .Union.

"Every communist should be a fighting atheist," said a lead editorial in the paper. Some party members and members of the Young Communist League, ,the party's youth organization, have 'participated in religious ceremonies in Siberia, near Moscow and at Nikolaev on the Black Sea, the editorial said.

The paper said religion is "one of the strongest relics of the past" and that a "total uproot~ng" of religious beliefs requires, Increased education ahd propa.• ganda efforts among the masses. ;~~~,o

Number of U.S. Priest Graduate Students in Rome Increases ROME (NC) - Nearly 100 American priests will be enrolled in Rome's North American College graduate house this year, the largest number' since the close of the Second Vatican Council.

Msgr. Richard Mahowald, director of two educational programs at the graduate house, said that enrollment for studies leading to a degree is up 20 per cent over last year.

In addition, the fourth session of a three-month institute of in-

tensive updating for American priests, started by Msgr. Mahowald two years ago WJith a class of 22 priests, opened Sept.

20 with an all-time high of 41, including one American bishop.

Already 37 priests have registeredfor the spring session of the institute 'beginning in March and some have rerJistered for the fall session of 1974.

Bishop Joseph Breitenbeck of Grand Rapids, Mich., will be the first bishop to attend the institute. Msgr. Mahowald said that two other bishops are trying to adjust their schedules to attend the institute in forthcoming sessions.

The institute condenses a full year's theological study into the three months by running a minimum of 20 class hours a

week. The Dominican Angelicum University in Rome grants seven graduate credits for those attending the institute who wish to continue toward a licentiate in theology.

Interest in Canon Law Msgr.Mahowald said that the current dass for the institute is composed of pastors, university professors, chancery officials and members of f,ive Religious order,s. Twenty-five dioceses are represented.

Full-time graduate students are beginning a course of several years leading to a doctorate are showing more interest this year in canon law, Msgr. Mahowald , said.

The Vatican has been rewriting the Code of Canon Law for several years now, and students have been hesitant to enter studies under the present code.

Nevertheless, dioceses are now flinding a need for more lawyers and are sending men into canon law despite the ongoing revision.

Msgr. Mahowald said that at the close of Vatican II there were about 100 full-time graduate priests at the college. That number decreased steadily over the years until last year there were only 40. This year, however, the enrollment has bounced up to 53.

French-Canadians in Toronto Proud of Language, Culture TORONTO (NC) - Ten years ago the average French-Canadian in Toronto was afraid to be himself. 'He was reluctant, even fearful, about speaking French outside his home or immediate environment. His Catholicism, as well as his accent, could be a detr,iment. He tended to hide his background and his joie de vivre.

The attitude of Englishspeaking Canadians had made him into something he wasn't.

Many thought he was inferJor' and this led him to believe he was. But over the past 10 years -more qliickly over the past ,three-his culture, his fact has gained general acceptance. There are still ethnic jokes, but to be French-speaking is no longer an embarrassment in Toronto.

In fact, the' French-Canadian is surfacing universally. They no longer mask their pride in their some 350 years of Canadian history.

There are now about 85,000 French-speaking people in MetI'Opolitan Toronto. It's a good bet there will be 100,000 by 1975. These people come from many areas of Ol1,tario, from Quebec, New Brunswick, and Europe. ' Yet it is easy to recall when

Center: Basketball victors are congratulated by the Bishop.

French-Canadians, although capable, found it hard to get a job in Toronto and were dependent on friends ,and relatives to answer questions and ease frustrations. Now there is an information center set up at Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart) parish by La Chasse-Galerie, a French-Candian cultural center. And, usually, if one is qualified one feels no discrimination in finding a job.

Toronto's Sacre Coeur and St. Louis de France parishes are both "national" parishes and you speak F.rench. The parishioners of St. Louis de J;:'rance are often professionals whose companies have transferred them here for a short period, unlike the majority of parishioners at Sacred Heart who come to Toronto looking for work. .

Father Justin Desroches, of ,sacre Coeur, says the Church fulfills a need 'for a group dispersed throughout the city wanting a community atmosphere. In a predominantly English-oriented city it is possible some French will encounter problems that they may need help with. But more than anything else Sacred Heart acts as a gathering place and social organization.
