Human Development· Campaign Starts CHICAGO (NC)-In a massive effort to "break the hellish circle of poverty," the nation's bishops have announced the formal opening of their Campaign for Human Development, an effort to raise $50 million for the poor of America.

Pope Hails Reformer Pope Paul VI, for the second time in a week,' proclaimed a woman a Doctor of the Church.

St. Catherine of Siena, a member of the Dominican Order, known for her efforts at papal and church reform, now joins St. Theresa of Avila, a Carmelite, as Doctors of the Church.

In a two-hour ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Paul said that St. Catherine had great love for the papacy, and when she rebuked cardinals, bishops and priests "she always acted in full humility and respect for their dignity."

The Pope praised her "intense work for reform" in the Church.

"But what kind of reform did she seek? Certainly not the overthrow of essential structures, rebellion against Church pastors, arbitrary innovations in worship and discipline, as some have today," the Pope insisted.

For St. Catherine, the Pope said, it was "a question first and foremost of interior reform, and then of exterior, but always in Turn to Page Three

To be pour and n~edy iii spirit is to be in love with God and man. It is to have the kingdom of heaven.

I feel that especially from the spirit of the first beatitude should flow the sincere and deep concern of every Christian for all men. The Vatican Council's constitution' on the Church in the World Today in my opinion reflects this spirit when it says, "The joys and hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these too are the joys and hopes, lhe griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts," Out of love for the Father, through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit, the whole Church is a dynamic community inescapably involved with the total deveJopment and well-being of all men.

This is its mission from Christ who came to free men from their sin, to alleviate for all its dire consequences, and "that they may have life and have it to the full." All the evil works of pride, Turn to Page Thirteen ~

Granting that the teachings of St. Catherine do "not have the theological vigor or scientific system" that possessed other medieval teachers of the Church, the Pope stated, "What it does have is the lucid profound and inebriating assimilation of the divine truths of Scripture."

Only 31 others - besides St. Catherine and St. Theresa-have been recognized as truly great teachers (Doctors) by the Church in its entire history. St. Catherine died in 1380 and became a saint in 1461. One of her crowning successes for the Church was in persuading fope Gregory XI to return from Avignon, France, to Rome. , Commenting on the fact that the day w~is also the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Pope explained, "Both of these saints carried the stigmata, both mystics, both apostles, both patrons of Italy and luminaries of the world, both ardent reformers and defenders of this Roman Catholic Church."

WASHINGTON (NC)-Dr. Edward R. D'AI"ssiu, cOurdinatur of governmental programs since 1967 for the U. S. Catholic Confenmce Elementary and Secondary Educatiun Divisiun, is thtl first. lay llire(;tor of the division.

In announcing the appointment, llishop Joseph' L. Bernurdin, USCC general secretary, said hl!. was "personally delighted" that . D' Alessio will direct the llivisiun. , "As a parent, eductiwr and conference staff member," Bishop Bernardin said of D'Alessiu, "he brings to the position a wealth of talent, experi~nce and dedicatiun to Catholic educatiun."

Similarly pleased wris Msgr.

James C. Donohue who announced in' June his resignation from the post he had held for five years. ··Dr. D'Alessio knows the Washington scene vcry well and will, be an ideal interpreter of it in the field of education to the bishops and superintendents," Msgr. Donohue said. "I hope this apointment will be a catalyst for those ,in authority to chuose more lay' men and w~men for positiuns of authority in Cathulic educatiun."

D'Alessiu, 38, earned a Ph.D. degree from Fordham University in New York where he later lectured in education. He was also a public schuol teacher in Orange, N. J., and served as associate professor of education and assistant dean In the school of ,education, at Seton Hall University, South Orange, N. J. In July, 1967, D'Alessio became coordinator of governmental prugrams for USCC's Elementary and Secondary Educatiun division. This position made him a liaison between the Catholic sehool system and fed· erul education offices.

It was not at this spot that 'Becket was killed, but elsewhere .in the cathedral, against a walI which now bears a simple inscriptiun: "Thomas BecketArchbishup', Saint, Martyr-died here Tuesday 29th December ])70."

Allnivt:rsary Yt:ar This inconspicuous tablet, plus the fact that it is easy to miss the representations of Becket in some of the windows, as welI as the sculpture of him in the Norman crypt, makes it possible for the uninformed, in most years, to visit the town and the cathedral without adverting to his existence or significance.

He stood out. against a' king avid for control of the Church, and paid with his life for his insistence on the Church's due freedom.

Now, in 1970, Becket is being handsumely celebrated in Canterbury.

Commemorative events will continue tu the end uf the yel:ll'.

It is the Becket anniversary which brings, these and others to Canterbury just now, which will impress them more than the few reminders of him will be the evidences of Catholic beginnings in this storied see.

A Nation in Danger

Sure Hope and' .Sola'ce October still remains the month of the Rosary.

Some people have the strange idea that the rosary is out of date, is not an "iiI" devotion. They even think that the Vatican Council II somehow d~wngraded the position of Mary in the Church~ Nothing could be farth.::!' from the faels.

The Fathers of the' Council devoted an entire t:haptcr - chapter eight - of the Dogmatic Constitution on '. the Church to Mary. Her role in the plan of salvation, her foreshadowing in the Old Testament and her place in the New Testament, her iilvolvement in the mysteries of Christ, true devotion to Mary that avoids the falsity of exaggeration and the excess of narrow-mindedness --- all this is spelled out in that chapter on Mary which states, "The most holy Synod deliberatelyte,aches this Catholic doctrine."; Devotion to Mary is to be generously fostered, but it must be true devotion that does not lead anyone into error regarding the true doctrine of. the Church on Mary, : Mary is called the image and first flowering of 'the Church.

And so she is. , The praying of the rosary ·as a means ot' asking Mary to bring one closer to Christ is a true and worthy devotion.

Lov~ for Mary is surely pleasing to Jesus. For, as the Council says, "Mary shines forth on earth, until the day of the Lord shall come, as a sign of sure' hope and solace. for the pilgrim People of God." And people today, as in every age, need 'this sure hope Hnd solace.

Of Seminary's New Program' CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Paul F. Leibold said the recent, rapid and radical changes in seminaries call for a new-look attitude.

"I am nol proposing any reversion to the seminary of my day, even- though I do not think . it was so bad, or a cessation of student· involvement and all other developments of the past years," the 55-year-old. head of the Cincinnati archdiocese said.

But he said the present situation calls for a viewing from "an' attitude that demands clarification of goals, that is more 'concerned 'with practicing re, sponsibility than asserting it and with recognition that a seminary is to 'prepare men academically, morally' and spiritually for the priesthood, not a place where fully, trained theOlogians, completely disciplined and totally solid spiritual men gather to ex-' change ideas" test their morals and experiment with their spiriitual self."

Speaking at a Mass marking opening of the academic year at Mount St. Mary Seminary here, where 153 students are training , , for t.he priesthood for two archdioceses, six dioceses and one religious community, the archbishop said the seminary's new program "has ,the' potentionl of contributing more to the Church and its basic mission to' teach the truth Of Christ" than anything previously attempted.

The archbishop said the priestly office is "c8nied 'out in an el',ltirely new situation today," growing out of mankind's new needs and the nature 'of the modern world.

"These new features of modern civilization must be constantly borne ,in mind, since the preparation for priestly ,life and activity must have reference to them.

Other projects slated for cumpaign support, Bishop Dempsey adtled include "industrial development und joLJ truining and placement programs, day-cure centers, care foi' the l:lged, and rehabilitation from drug addiction.

"Prujects tu he given the high('st priority art' th~se not pres. ently funded through other institutions 01' agendes' or those in need of additional funds not presently available."

Urging an all-out dfort by American Catholics to raise the money, Detroit's Cardinal John F. Dearden, president of the National Conference of Catholic Hishops and the U. S. Catholic Conference explained: "We have asked all dioceses to set their objectives high, taking as thl:'ir minimum goals their ht:st previous performance ill any national collection."

The Campaign for Human Development will climax Nov. 22 with a nationwide collection scheduled to be taken up in all Catholic churches in the U. S. Hus Wide Support One out of every four dollars raised during the campaign will Le retained in the diocese where it was collected and used to support local development programs: Remaining funds will be distributed "in those areas and for those programs where .the poor believe there is the greatest need," Bishop Dempsey said.

He added that a national committee on human development is being ·formed to Oversee the allocation of the national fund.

Members of the committee will include bishops, priests, Religious and lay people.

Joseph B. McSweeney, campaign development director, told newsmen here that the effort faces "some hardships." Among them, he said, were the campaign's late start and its short time period.

But he cmphu>iized that the campaign has even more advantllges, including wide support from bishops, priests and lay people, the top priority assigned the campaign by the nation's hierarchy and most important, "the needs of the poor in our midst."

Two Main Thrusts The bishops first committed themselves to the campaign at their meeting in November, 1969, and developed plans for the effort at another meeting six months later.

Since then, implemcontalion of the bishops' plans has been in the hands of a campaign task force composed of elements of the USCC. Various conference ~;ection5 are working on the campaigns two main thrusts: .fund raising and education.

The fund-raising effort centers on the national collection. Although the bishops set no deadline for raising the $50 million, this sum is reportedly only a first target in their continuing effort to provide seed money for self-help projects.

Education efforts surrounding the campaign focus on attempts to inform the American public about the nature of the poverty problem and to dispel the rnyths associated with poverty in the U. S.

CHICAGO (NC) - To Amel"i cans, the name Dempsey imme-1 diately recalls the image of ~ champion fighter.

I Jack Dempsey's namesake, Most Rev. Michael R. Dempsey) Auxilary Bishop of Chicago, i~ also a fighter.

I His "ring" is Ihe inner city ofl Chicago. His foe is poverty. His success is well k~own ~o th~ poor people of the mner .c.lty fori whom he has worked dlllgentlYI ami (,'ffectively for over 30 years.

I Hlshop Dempsey is truly the "Shephel:d" of the Poor in Chi.! cago. And a most effective one.

Though not particularly well IUlown to the average Chicagoan, l3ishop Dempsey's name is heard frequently in' the grapevines ofj the poor. They tell the story of w"hat he has been able to accomplish in a many-faceted role that combines his talents as pastor, catalyst, and, above all, doer. '" just sit in the corner and listen to find out what my neighburs want to do. Then I try to help because I want to do some-I thing as much as they do," the Bishop said recently.

It's been said that when yuu want a job done, ask a busy man to do it. Bishop Dempsey has added an important new job to an already crowded schedule! that sends him all over the innelil city (he averages 100 miles a day in his well used black Ford). His· new assignment is Campaign Di-I rector for the United States Catholic Conference Campaignl for Human Development.

I This campaign, which aims to' penetrate to and eliminate some~ of the root causes of poverty, is a nationwide program to whichl the Bishops of the United States! have unanimously committed the Church. It combines a fund rais-l ing campaign to be climaxed inl 1970 by a .major collection in all the nation's parishes on Nov. 22 -with a vast education programl to acquaint old and young alikJ with the virulent dimensions 0~1' poverty in America. .

In 1971 the Campaign will be-I gin to fund innovative projects and programs that show poten.! tial for relieving poverty as weill as assist existing programs o~ demonstrated merit which are in need of added support.

ShelJherd of the Poor

tu head the Campaign, the Hish- ' ups, undt'r the leade~ship of John · Cardinal Dearden of Detroit, chose a true apostle iJf the poor.

Heis a "ghettu" Hishop who has labored lung and well for the indigent in Chicago-Black, Puerto Rican, Cuban, White Appalachian (uf wl.lOm there are 40,000 .in Chicago), and Indians wh~ number 20,000 individuals and 95 tribes in the inner dty of Chicagu.

Bishop Dempsey has ,served them all in the 27 years since his ordination. With 2.4 million Catholics in a city of 3.4 million, Bishop Dempsey believes that · Catholics must be a part of the solution for poverty' in Chicago.

Ordained a bishop two years ago, Bishop Dempsey resides at Our Lady of Lourdes parish r(,'ctury at 1444 South Keeler Avp, in thp west side 'ghetto known as North Lawdale. Hp has been a · pastor there for the past six years.

Short and stocky, with a warm smile and Irish eyes that see clearly the problems of the poor. Hishop Demp5ey is a self-. effacing man. "r don't toot my own lmmpel.

T see myself as a sort of c,atalyst.

The poor have great hopes and plans fur solving their OWl) problems ,if only someone takes the time to listen to them. With a little· encouragement they do great things. Perhaps I am one of the few optimists around.

But my optimism is based 01\ people, not on programs. Don't just talk about solutions. Get the ,job done. Do it yourself.

J)on't wait for others to do it."

Bombs Damage Milan Churches MILAN (NC) - Home-ma<.\t~ bumbs . wt:re thrown in three Milan churches, inclUding Santa Maria delle Grazie, where Leonardo da Vind painted his famous frt:scu "The Last Supper." Tlw frescu was not harmed..

Two Molotov cocktails and a bomb fashioned from tightly packed paper were thrown· in San Simpliciano basilica, Santa Maria delle Grazie, and an old deconsecrated church.

At each church the bombers dropped sheets with the name "Anarchists Anonymous" printed on them. Total damage at the three churches was estimated at $3,000.

Seek India Action Against Converts RANCH I (NC) - Hindu tribal leaders from seven states held a conference here to urge the government to adopt a bill that would exclude converts to Christianity from grants and other benefits given to members of the former "untouchable" class.

The meeting protested alleged delay ~ by the Indian government in processirg the bill, introduced last November in the national parliament.

The bill includes a clause that declares that "no person who has given up tribal faith or faiths and has embraced Christianity or Islam shall be peemed to be a member of any scheduled tribe."

Fr. Francis L Mahoney He's a little' impatient with those who just advance theories but c1UIl't follow through with action.

R",,,. Fl'lIuclS L. Muhull"'y, u;;siSllint at lmmliculat", Conception Parish, Full River UIHI Dioct::mn Director to coordinul", the Campaign for HuIIUllI Devdopmellt will meet with Bishop Dempsey in New Yml, Ill! Friday; Oct. 16 to di~cilss the first steps ill the program.

The' very hUlIll:l1l prublems of the ghetto begin tu go away when a man starts out with a decent jub. Better jobs are a ticket to a better life. It's that simple. So we place a lot of emphasis here on the west side on -'helping people get jobs with a future.

"You never really help a poor pei'son until you help him to help himself. One of our west side neighborhood projects has been the Tri-Faith· Employment Pmgrl:lm begun in 1965.

"Encouraged by th.e funds given tu the community to create an effective job placement agency, a neighborhood group concentrated on finding all the possible blue cullar jobs. Our staff tried to find a job at a reason. able salary so that a man would not have to work hard at two or three jobs to make the salary 11<' should have received for one.

"We sent representatives into the community to find men who wanted to work and we often sought them out in taverns and poolrooms. When a person failed on the first placement we helped 'him find another position until he found the place where he fitted best."

Asked about the effect of the Tri-.Faith Employment Program, the Bishop notes that at present Tri-Faith maintains six officesfuur on the west· side and one each in the north and south. TriFaith is procuring 24,000 jobs a year. This approach to a solution for poverty represents over $100,000,000 in salaries to the local community. This is not just help but self-help.

"The Churcl! has always been a friend of the poor," Bishop Dempsey says, "The Church is known for its tangible steps to help the indigent * * * the orpha.n '" '!' '" the handicapped'" '" * the retarded '" '!' '" the aged. But poverty is a complex and sensitive problem. The Church must help to remove it from America by eliminating its roots.

Bishop Innocent Under Penal Law MUNICH (NC)-After t'xumining chargl's against a Lierman bishup aCl:ust:d (,I' war crimes, the Munich prosecutur's uffice has cuncluded that his rule in the executiun uf Italian partisans "was nut forbidden under international martial law at the time." "\ Auxiliaryl Bishup Mathias Defregger of Munich admitted that as l:lIl officer ill Wurld War II he passed' uIl un order for the rcoprisal shu(jting uf 17 unarmed Itulian hostag('s at Filetto di Camarda, Haly .)jut he said tbat he had madt! every effort to haw tbe (,'xt~cution order rei;dnded LJefurtJ passing it 011.

The Bavarian justice ministry said that investigations of the Munich pros(:cutor's offici' showed that the bishop was "innocent under penal law."

In 1969, investigations by the lJrosecutor's offiCe in Frankfurt resulted in the conclusions that no action Gould be taken against the bishop on the slaying of the Italians as a reprisal for the killing of three German soldiers.

The Jedsion, it said, was Qased on .internationally accepted norms dealing with the treatment of hostages in guerrilla warfare.

The Frankfurt prosecutur also cOIlsidered the case closed because of the statute of limitations..

Cardinal .Julius lJoepfner of Munich admitted in 1969 that he ,knew of Bishop Defregger's role in the Filetto lJi Camarda incident prior to the bishop's consecration in September, 1968. The cardinal said he also knew the bishop was under investigation.

The cardinal said he was convinced, however, that, according to international law for war· fare, "no culpable deed was committed. "

Looking back on my unde's statements I must agree that now I'm of an age tu be more interested in looking chic than looking like one of the crowd, I find a hat completes a costume.

Try to remember some of the truly well-dressed women you know and I'm sure you'll find that they wear a hat with really smashing daytime outfits.

Women of london Invited to Spend Sunday at Convent L.ON DON (NC) - "Straighten yourself out on Sunday" say the posters in subways and buses.

"Take one day off, relax and g et away from it a. II." \ It's an invitation to the women of London to spend one Sunday a month at any of 60 convents, pictured as islands of tranquility in a noisy city.

Housewife Crusades Against Women's lib WASHINGTON (NC)-"A man wunts a woman he can put on a pedestal and worship from below, someone whose character is superior to his," said a 50year-old housewife touring the country to oppose the women's liberation movement.

Mrs. Helen B. Andel in. who eschews tweeds and tailored dothing which she thinks be'speaks masculinity, is the selfappointed spokesman for the "silent majority" of American women who believe a woman's place is in the home.

Married for ,27 years, with eight children ranging in age from 8 to 23, Mrs. Andelin spells out her message. in a book called "Fascinating Woman." The book was published privately by her hushand in 1963 as a result of some booklets Mrs. Andelin decided to revise.

The ol'lg1l1ator is a man, Father Francis Hegarty, director of vocations for the Westminster (L.ondon) archdiocese. ",He calls it Operation Unwind, and says it has nothing to do with recruiting vocations - at least directly-nor is it a retreat movement.

Father Hegarty got the idea from living in a convent himself.

He found it was always quiet there on a Sunday.

"There are about 180 of these oaseS of peace and" tranquility in and around noisy London," he said. "Our aim is not to lure women into convents but to help people live good Christian lives in whatever vocation they find themselves.

"Most people don't know what the inside of a convent looks like or how the nuns live. On the other hand quite a few nuns do not know what it is like to live and work in a noisy city. They too can learn. It will be very much give and take."

Each of the convents will take small groups not more than six women each month.

Astronauts Have Right To Pray in Space NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Astronauts can pray in space and public office holders can say "so help me God," according to a ruling here by the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The court said another suit by Mrs. O'Hair "approaches absurdity" in its contention that oaths ending in "so help me God" systematically exdude agnostics and atheists from the judiciary.

REV. ANDREW M.e} GREELEY

cism; and, unless I am mistaken, will remain so rooted for a long time to come.

Bishop John Carroll's d~cision to remain on the fringes of American politics has, struck most of those who came after him in the American Church' as being a very wise decision.

Anyone who is familiar with the histor.y of what political involvement meant for .the churches, in European coun.tries can only agree with Carroll's decision.

Some of those who are seeking public office may argue that, unlike the European clergy who meddled in politics, they are running on left-wing rather than right-wing platforms. A clergyman is necessarily identified by the public with his Church.

In Rhode Island, for example, 'the U. S. senatorial candidate who suddenly discovered that he had a priest running against him phoned the local chancery office· to inquire what he had done wrong that the 'Church would put up a candidate against him.

One wonders if he was persuaded of what was obviously the truth: the Church was not running a candidate against him.

Due further wonders whether the electorate could be persuaded.

Identity Crisis.

In the popular mind a priest turned turned politician cannot divorce himself from the Chur~h.

The Church will be praised by those who like what he does, condemned by those who do not like it, and Ultimately blamed when the' public grows tired' of him a's the public is inclined to do with most politicians-save those wh.o are political geniuses and, one rather suspects, most priests-turned-politicians will not be that.

But a question remains: Why have the American Catholic clergy suddenly succumbed to a temptation which has been powerful enough for Protestant clergy all along, but which generally has not been a serious problem for Catholic clergy?

Why have priest-politicians sprung up apparently all over. the land-or at least all over the eastern seaboard?

Part of the reason, I suspect, is the current clerical identity

come a psychotherapist or reJolulionary or leader of an antipollution crusade or, in absence of anything better, a politician.

Moral Judgments The situation is somewhat. analagous to that of the college professor. The' pl'Ofessor is no . longer sure who he is or what he ought to be doing. He is quite cIJlisciollS (at least if he is hopest) that he has rather notably failed hi his assigned task of ilistruet.ing· the young· and so he looks for something' else 'to do; arid, ·like the priest in his identity crisis, he gravitates to polities as' lemmings do towards the . sea.

The second explanation is that ours is unquestionably a' tin~e of trouble and confusion in American society. lt is also a time of great 'moral outrage. it is evident that there are a nutilbel' of things seriously wrong, such as war and racial injustice.

These issues involve terribly important moral judgments. The clergyman surveys the scene anU says to himself, "Things are ail fouled up political1y and moral1y..

Who is better qualified to straighten them out than I?" The only, honest answer is, "practically anyone."

Difficult to Harmonize I The principal problem with the priest-politician is that the qualities required traditional1y itt l the politician are rather diffi _. cult to harmonize. . I The clergyman is expected to stand for clarity of moral prin~ ciple; the politician for the com· promise necessary to form viable political coalitions.' The clergy~ man .is expected to represent clear and unambiguous values~ the politician is required to be alert to the complexity and the grayness of political reality, The clergyman is held to lead by exhorting and chal1enging others to their maximum com. mitment; the politician must listen very carefully to his sound~ ings at the grass roots and must deal not so much with the maxl imum possible generosity of his constituents but rather with the' minimum feasible generosity.: Clergymen must be filled with' enthusiasm for remaking the world; the politician has an; awareness of how slow the pace . of social change must necessarily be.

Different R.oles Neither role is intrinsically . superior to the other. Both are, required. An occasional rare ~ man can combilie the two (and at least one of the priest candidates whom I know personal1y: comes closer to combining the I two ·than· most other men). A little more awareness of the complexities of political and so-: cial reality would benefit many, clergymen, and a little more: emotional and moral enthusiasm: would certainly benefit most, politicians.

Ye~ they are different roles;, 1

What this Republic of our does not need, at the present time is more moralism and self-righteousness among political leaders.

It is to be very much feared that it is precisely these qualities that the 'cleric turned politician is most likely to bring to public life. John Carroll was right. Most clergymen who become involved in politics really don't know what they are talking about.

Say Third World Priests Playing With Subversion BUENOS AIRES (NC)-Priests who belong to the national Third World Movi::mt::nt are playing with subversion, six bishops and several priests declared here. , They also accused members of the controversiul organization of obscuring the role of the priest by addressing their aclions to sucial ruther than spiritual works.

One of the main knels of the Third World Movement of Priests is that social injustice and the political structures maintuining it should be radically removed. After former president Pedro Eugenio Aramburu was recently kidnapped and killed, two priests in the mowment were churged with aiding in the conspiracy.

The Argenline bishops have rcbuked statements calling fur a socialist revolution.

'Gangrenous Growths' The six bishops and othel' priests criticizing the movement suid its members ignore their priestly mission and "dedicate themselves to work that is foreign to their vocation and oppused to the teachings of the Church."

The Third World priests are "in the service of political subversion," they charged, and decried what they called a wave of "public immorality and materiulistic communism."

"Both are gangrenous growths within the' Church," they said.

Among the signers of the statement were Archbishops Germinano Escorto of' 'Bahia' Blanca, Francisco Vicentin of Corrientes, and Guillermo Bolatti of Rosario; Bishop Alejandro Schell of Lomas de Zamora; retired Archbishop Ramon Castellano of Cordoba; and Auxiliary Bishop Vittorio Bonamin of Huenos Aires.

Ntl.li.Olllll, Coulljcil of Catholic Men Nlunes Ge,neral Clr~roll Executive Di.reclor WASHINGTON (NC)-Joseph F. Carroll, first to head the nation's Defense Intelligence Agency, is new executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men. Carroll, 60, a retired Air Force lieutenant general, will assume NCCM duties Oct. 12, succeeding Martin H. Work who has held the post since 1950. Work plans to leave the NCCM office in Washington Oct. 23 for Denver,' Colo., where he will be consultant for planning and programming in the Denver archdiocese.

Eight years prior to retirement last year, Carroll was director at the Defense Intelligence Agency where he was responsible for management supervision over all general intelligence activities of the Army, Navy and Air Force throughout the world. For his accomplishments, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.

Previous to that position, he was deputy commander and chief of staff, U. S. Air Forces in Europe from 1958 through 1960 and inspector general through 1961.

Outstanding Layman During his European tour, Carroill was honorary president of the National Council of Catholic Military Men in Europe and his wife, Mrs. Mary Carroll, was at the same time honorary president of the National Council of Catholic Military Women.

A one-time student for the priesthood and now father of a pt:iest, Gen. Carroll is a distinguished Catholic layman, said NCCM president Daniel L. McCormick of Newark, N. J. in announcing Carroll's appointment.

Carroll, who received the Outstanding Catholic Layman Award "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice" from the late Pope John XXIII, is one of the Catholic laity's "most sought after speakers" throughout the country, said McCormick.

A native of Chicago" Carroll originally intended to take holy orders and studied at Quigley Preparatory Seminary, Chicago, and at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, Mundelein, Ill. Later, he transferred to Loyola University, Chicago, where he received

Several years ago Time Magazine labelled Carroll as most 'likely to succeed J. Edgar Hoover as FBI head. Hoover, however, still holds the job.

In accepting the directorship of the 50-year-Old NCCM, Carroll said that while it involved a rejection of several commercial and industrial opportunities, he found it easy to do so because of his belief in the laity's responsibility to set've the Church.

"Our pl'Oudest accomplishment," he said of his personal life, "was in giving a son to the priesthOOd." He referred to Father James Michael Carroll, C.S.P., one of his five sons. The priest is Newman chaplain at Boston University.

Campus Ministry Adds Six Members WASHINGTON (NC) - Six Illure college students have been added to a National student ad· visory board for the U. S. Cathulic Conference Campus Ministry division.

Initiated last year, the board has II members with the recent additions, all of whom are Catholic students in elected leadership positions on campus.

Father Laurence Murphy, M.M., Campus Ministry division director, said "the students would advise our division on the attitudes of young people."

Father Murphy said the stu'dent advisory board includes two black and two, Mexican-American students. Both Cahtolic and secular colleges, all over the country are represented, he said, noting the schools are different sizes and are both resident and commuter campuses.

Fee Increase Has Slight 'Effe~t PHILADELPHIA (NC)-An increase in fees in the secondary schools of the Philadelphia archdiocese did not result in an enrollment decline, archdiocesan school officials said here.

Although complete figures are not yet available, an informal check of 21 of the 32 archdiocesan high schools by the superintendent of schools' office revealed that only four schools noted a slight decrease in enrollment. ' ' Seven schools reported that enrollment had increased despite the increase in fees from $70 to $130 per student per year.

LA PAZ (NC) ..... The solution for Bolivia's problems lies neither in capitalism not in socialism, but in a new Christian ethic, Archbishop Jorge Manrique Hurtado of La Paz said in a pastoral letter read in parishes here.

Archbishop Manrique said that Holivians must take a new look at their society and reevaluate and revise their relationships with God, with each other, with material possessions and with themselves.

The archbishop said greater industrialization would be a boon to Bolivia "only if it is used to bring about a more human existence for every member of our society."

"In the new Christian ethic we must realize that man is more important than property," the archbishop said. "The old aristocratic ethic gives more value to a man for owning land than for working on it, but the new ethic must stress the nobility and value of work, be it manual, or intellectual," he added.

"The entire system of property IllUSt be reevaluated and land must be put to use according to its capacity to humanize man's existence," he said.

He added that while the new Christian ethic stresses the humanity of man, it must not forget his spiritual side and his relationship with God. "Humanism to the exclusion of God would be inhuman," he declared.

Mark Centenary Of Unifi'cation ROME (NC) - On the 100th anniversary of the fall of papal /{ome and the unificalion of Italy Popo:: Vaul VI pl'ayed for the nation's "harmony, stability, prosperity" and moml and civil peace.

The Popo:! sent a special message to Italian President Giuseppo:! Saragat on the occasion of the fall of papal Rome. It Illarko::d, 100 years to a day, the surrender of Rome to the troops of the Italian House of Savoy, ending the temporal power of the Popes in Italy.

The Pope, in his letter to President Saragat did not gloss over the past. (Many at the time considered the fall of papal Rome a terrible ddeat for the papacy.)

Instead, Pupe Puul said: "We ddiberately rdrain from any retrospective historical, juridical, political or sentinmental assessment" of the past. "wo:! center our attenlion on the present and consider with clear and pastoral goodwill the other aspect of that same event in its happy results for Italy, for this country, which we cannot but love with a particular and intense affection," the Pontiff said.

President Saragat sent a message to the Pope thanking him for his message.

By

REV. P. DAVID FINKS

Church is a case in point. The critical question of mission a'nd authority in the post-conciliar Church is being debated over the micro-ethical question of priestly celibacy.

The question of re-integrating some married priests into the ministry is a legitimate item for the Church's agenda for the 70's, as is the clearer "issue of ordaining married men, It is just that these questions are far down on the list of problems of "human life in our day.

In fact, as some in the Church have already noted, a real shortage of priests may help us face the practical issue of whether the Church is simply a Church of priests or an ecdesial community where laymen have, roles to play in the mission and ministry of that Church.

A somewhat de-clericalized situation may bring us all to a dearer appreciation of our responsibility to the Gospel and the human community. Some of the miasma now engulfing the priestly, function in that community might be blown away by the breeze of increased activity.

Violent Reaction The problem for many, however, remains that against the background of the fire and blood of events these past few weeks, internal problems of Church reform seem trivial to a fault.

The amazing I.F. Stone writes in a recent edition of his "BiWeekly": "The social landscape does not encourage long-range investment.

Black and Chicana minorities are in revolt, and an urban guerrilla movement confronts us in the cities and on the campuses.

Another Kent State could set off a tidal wave of violence on the nation's campuses. ' "The police have become a target for snipers, as have firemen. Guns are ready everywhere.

A tiny minority of firebrand youngsters is making good on its threat to ~ 'bring the war home.'."

'Moral Stance Guerrilla warfare in our streets by frustrated young anarchists will not bring about needed re-

fabric of American society.

Thinkers like LF. Stone have been saying for a long time that human society as it grows more complex and interdependent in th~ process "of urbanization grows also more vulnerable to disruption by well planned efforts of the few. Political kidnappings and hi:jackings, bombers and snipers, commandos and terrorists-these can unleash destruction out of all proportion to their numbers.

These destructive utopians are almost impossible to round up because they are fill1atically selfrighteous and only vaguely 01'-' ganized around their ideology.

In such a situation it seems that a moral stanCE' becomes a political necessity. Friendly rational arguments won't work with anarchists against the vivid backdrop' of Vietnam and "the poverty of th'e world's citizens.

Somehow, as Stone suggests, a majority coalition of our fellow citizens must regain the moral initiative: "Men are moral beings; and to take away from the terrorists' their moral justification is the only way to strike at the heart of the tenor spreading around the globe." ',

We bt'gun with a reading uf the Ads of the Apostles. The discussion following their privute study of Acts was enthusiastic /lnd livdy.

Althuugh all WE're graduates of Catholic high schoul or cull~gt~ nune had even read thruugh thl' Ads uf the Apostles. They found in Acts a kind of buok they did nut suspect wus in the BiblE-.

The next buok I suggested was the Gospel of Mark. I asked them to sit down and' read Murk's brief Gospel from beginning to end-something none of them had ever done e~en in college scripture courses. When we gathered for our meeting, in contrast to the enthusiasm of the previous week's discussion on Acts they were embarrassingly silent. A few polite remarks were made, but none seemed eager to get into a serious discussion of the Gospel and the whole atmosphere was tense.

Finally I asked what the problem was. I asked why after last week's exciting discussion they

Fr. Carl J. Pfeifer, S.J. were so quiet and embarrassed about discussing Mark's Gospel.

After more moments of tense silence one of the women finally said, "Father, after reading Mark I don't like Jesus anymore!"

Others nodded that they shared similar feelings.

So I questioned them further.

"Why don't you like Jesus after reading the Gospel of Mark?

What did you learn that has changed y'our feelings?" Several reasons were quickly expressed.

One of the men said he was surprised and shocked to read that Jesus really became angry and used very strong language. The women were more disturbed by the fact that Mark tells of Jesus speaking with prostitutes. All of them found Jesus' apparent coolness toward Mary disconcerting.

On the whole they found reading Mark's Gospel a troubling experience.

We discussed this quite openly.

It gradually became clear that they had become comfortable with an idea of Jesus that was much mote middle-class, white,

They fuund it hard tu think of Jesus expel'iendng temptatiun as other men are tempted. It was I difficult to grasp that He really did suffer and die, even though they professed this in the Creed.

AmI they doubted that He made I NEW BAPTISMAL RITE: mistakes or hat! to study in ! uil of catechumens, order to learn. ~ I suggested that we next read the Gospel of Luke in the same way and discuss it.

Baptism at .Sunday Mass to this innuvation, begun after the Palm Sunday implementation date, seems very positive. Parents naturally enjoy "showing off" the gift of life they have reo ceived and their signing of this child at the rite' of welcome in particular impresses those in the congregation. Parishioners likewise appear tu accept favorably the ne.w procedure. Thev sing up something of a storm for the occasion and their response to viirious prayers makes it d~ar this celebratiun is a community eveht.

The refurmed ritual reminds us that "the faith in which the children are baptized is not the private pussession of the individual family, but is the commun treasure uf the whole Church of Christ." (Number 4). We see this truth acted out, as it were, immediately before the baptism pruper when celebrant and congregatilin aSSl'nt to the \Jrofession of fuith. Thl' priest says: "This is our faith. This is the faith uf the Church. We are pruud to. prufess it, in Christ .Jesus uur Lord." All lend their suppurt to his words with an "Amen." Father Krebs finds his parishioners understand well the significance of this part of the" ceremony and truly do express their faith with a strong, united "Amen."

In our contemporary concern about time, one might worry over the added moments requirt~d to include baptism at Mass. The fear is unfounded. At .

S1. Joseph's a eucharistic liturgy which incorporates within it this rite of Christian initiation lasts but five minutes longer than the regular Sunday service. The celebrant there observes directives in the official text which outline that combined rite. . According to these guidelines, the reception of children replaces the greeting and penitential rite; a liturgy of the Word with reading, homily, general intercessions, but no Creed follows the opening prayer; the celebration of baptism itself begins at the prayer of exorcism and continues through to, but excluding the concluding rite; the celebrant resumes Mass at the preparation of gifts and, for the f:nal blessing, may use one of the solemn baptismal benedictions.

The Minnesuta pastor, after several experiences with baptism at Mass, stopped providing companion booklets for the congregation. He found that these pamphlets, far from facilitating the people's understanding of the ceremony, actually interfered with parishioners' participation in the celebration. Their noses

Fr. Josepln M. Champlin were buried in the bouks, their eyes "fixed on the printed page instead of upon the living event before them. He found that a brief explanation, a few words of prompting elicited much better responses. Father Krebs believes that the service itself does .the explaining; the ritual, in his view, should be so designed that it is self-exphmatory.

That thinking rests un a solid foundation. The Council Fathers decreed that tht~ reformed liturgical rites should be "short, clear, and unemcumbered by useless repetitions; they should be within the people's powers of comprehension, and normally should not. require much explanation." (Article 34).

Discussion Questions I. What does the revised rite of Baptism state about baptism during Sunday Mass?

2. What does the revised rite of Baptism say about the faithrelationship of the newly baptized child t.o the rest of the Christian community?

Solve Problem Catholic Board Sends Students To Methodist School

L'- '

SANTA CRUZ (NC) - The Catholic school board in this Northern New Mexico town has found a new way of solving the teacher shortage in the parochial school: it sent the seventh and eighth grade classes to a United Methodist school half a mile up the road. ' Twenty-seven youngsters who would have comprised the two top classes at Holy Cross School have enrolled as regular students at McCurdy School, an institution of the United Methodist Church. The former Holy Cross. pupils have been completely illtegrated into McCurdy classes for all their courses, including religion.

SchooI officials believe this new level of ecumenical cooperation marks the first time in this' country that Roman. Catholic and, P~otestant schools have co- , operated in this manner.

Religion classes, which are required at McCurdy as well as at Holy Cross, are being taught by a team of instructors consisting of Sister Bernice Garcia, principal of Holy Cross; the Rev. AW. Pringle, principal of the grade> school at McCurdy and a United Methodist clergyman, and Miss Ruth Stambach,' religion teacher at McCurdy.

As a further ecumenical note, books published by the Lutheran Church in America provide the texts for the classes. McCurdy

has been using the Lutheran rnaterial for several years, Rev. Pringle 'said, because "we think it is the best that we have been able to find."

The arrangement between the two schools had its origins' la'st year in a committee that had been called together to study,yet another school in an adjacent town-this one related to tne United Presbyterian Church. Rev. Pringle was a member of the committee. So was Arturo Jara-, millo, a restaurant proprietor who was a state senator and is also president of the Holy Cross school board. .

Discussion in the committee of mutual problems of education in the community eventually led Jaramillo, whose Spanish adobe restaurant each year hosts the formal dinner party of McCurdy graduating seniors, to propose cooperation between the Catho- ~ lic and Methodist schools., ' "They struggled hard at Holy Cross to get lay teachers in order to carryon," Rev, Pringle recalled. When that was impossible, it was agreed that th~ two top classes at Holy CrO$S should be moved to McCurdy.

Tuition at McCurdy is slightly higher than at Holy Cross: Par" ents pay the $15 a month they would normally pay at the Cath; . olic school and the Holy Cross, parish pays the additional $10 per, pupil out of parish funds.

However powerful the Ipswich attack may be,many observers feel that, if the Falcons can maintain possession of the footbal1, eating up precious seconds enroute to their scores, Falcontown may be the sight for one of the season's major upsets.

Unquestionably, Dighton has the horses to move the pigskin and is a threat to score from anywhere on the gridiron. In their first three contests the Regionals have tallied 87 points for a 29 points per game average.

The running game features speedster Don Davis and Jim Olson.
