Prelate Outlines Lesson of Apollo Space. Fiight

Youth Conference Opens Nov. 17 In Utah City

NEW ORLEANS (NC)­ "The flight of the spacecraft "Apollo 7 epitomizes our age, " including our s p i r it u a 1 needs," Archhishop PhUip M. Hannan told a district meeting of Serra Clubs here.

The archbishop of New Or­ leans said 'Ithe crucial aspect of the space flight is -the creat,ion and maintenance of an environ­ ment in the capsule which makes ,human Hfe possible."

Enormous difficu~ties have been overcome, and a "living environment has been main­ tained in the capsule because our national welfare demands ilt," he continued.

"The spiritual welfare of the Church and our country de­ mands that we make a like ef­ fort to create a proper environ­ ment for the nurturing of voca­ tions," Archbishop Hannan as­ serted.

"It can be done. We grant that there is a bleak and inhospitable atmosphere around us inimical to the total dedication of a re­ ligious voeaotion. But the proper atmosphere can be created. This is the work of the Serra Clubs," he continued. .

Promises of Materialism The archbishop said after the blastoff of the spacecraft, espe­ cially among the nation's youth, interest in the flight waned. He added: "We are tempted to think that they do not appreciate the stupendous efforts involved in these achievements."

"But I think there is another reason for their attitude," said the prelate. "They have learned not to put their trust in technology nor be enthralled by material­ ism. They have become disillu­ sioned with the cheap promises of materialism."

This refusal to be misled by materialism is one of the most promising developments of our time, the archbishop declared.

"Our youth is keenly aware of the worth of human values," he said. Even in Russia youth is rebelling against sterile materi­ alism.

"Our youth knows tha,t the better· world must be built on the actualization, the realization of ,human aspirations for greater human dignity."

Have Role in Choice Of Future Bishops BOSTON (NC)-For the first time priests will be given a role i: selection of future bishops in the Boston archdiocese.

The plan, recommended by the archdiocesan priests senate, has been a·pproved by Richard Car­ dinal Cushing of Boston. The sena,te serves as an advisory group to the cardinal.

Father Gerald J. Osterman, senate spokesman, sa'id in the future priest:.. of the archdiocese will be premitted to submit names of their choices of a bishop. The recommendations will be taken under considera­ tion before suggestions for a bishop to be appointed are for­ warded to the Holy See where all appointments of bishops are made by the Pope.

Cardinal Cushing in a letter to the Senate said all bishops in the New England province will be allowed to consult the list of recommendations in conjunction with recommending appoint­ ments of bishops. Besides the Boston archdiocese the province includes the Worcester, Spring­ field and Fall River dioceses in Massachusetts; Portland, Maine; Burlington, Vt., and Manchester, N.H. "

Prelate Pays Tribute to Colorful Jurist Bishop Wright Stresses Enthusiasm foil' !Life PITTSBURGH (NC)-In a tribute to Michael A. Musman­ no, 71, ra'ted as one of the most oolorful jurists in Pennsylvania history, Bishop John J. Wright asserted: "His enthusiasm for life and his healthy fear of the forces in our society which work against life echoed in many. of his judicial decrees and legal opinions."

The bishop of Pittsbugh, speak­ ing at a requiem Mass for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice in St. Paul's cathedral here, disclosed the jurist had an appointment with the bishop to tell of his admiration for Pope Paul VI's encyclical opposing artifical birth control on Oct. H~the day Justice Musmanno was felled by a stroke.

Justice Musmanno died the following day in Mercy Hospital here. He was born in the nearby mill town of McKees Rocks, where he worked as a coal miner during his high school days. He received seven degrees from Ifive universities and got his legal education at Gorgetown Univer­ sity, Washington, D.C. In his tribute to the jurist, "Bishop Wright said: Pope's Courageous Call "The day that he was striken he had been scheduled to have lunch with me. He asked for an appointment so that he could express his dismay at the failure of so many to appreciate the point of Pope Paul's recent de­ fense .of life.

See Denies Charges Of MismCllnagement DETROIT (NC) -A Detroit archdiocesan sPokesman has re­ plied to charges that there is "gross mismanagement" in the See's administration of a pov­ erty program.

The charge was made by an organization known as Hour­ glass (White Witness to Black Self-Determination) .

Father Robert V. Minticello, director of the Detroit archdi­ ocesan department of Christian Service, called the charges half­ truths and noted that the See has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid the poverty-stricken.

"He was particularly appalled by the manner in which, as he saw it, even those who should be the first to exalt life and de­ fend it against the corruptions and negations of the contra­ ceptive mentality seem to be embarrassed rather than edified, as was he, by the Pope's cou­ rageous and prophetic call to love for life.

"With Erich Fromm he won­ dered, in his last letter to me, why those who represent the traditions of religion and hu­ manism do not speak up and say that there is no deadlier sin than love for death and con­ tempt for life.

Symbols of Life "He, like Fromm, wished that our best brains-scientists, art­ ists, educators-would seek to arouse and to stimulate love for life as opposed to love for gadgets and particularly as op­ posed to that necrophilia, the morbid love for death and cult of the negation of life which, again like Erich Fromm, he found so disturbing, so disgust­ ing, so degrading.

"All the symbols which he venerated, with a lover's occa­ sional exaggerations and a poet's

sometimes unruly rhetoric, were symbols of life: Columbus, the opening up of a whole new world to new life and to new action; Washington, the Ifather of his country; Lincoln, the her­ ald of the liberty that ennobles life and makes it fruitful; the Flag, leaping in the breeze as the smybol of a nation's vitality; -all these he loved on the level of nature.

"The Eucharist on the level of grace, the Body of the Lord that he loved to receive in his own parish church in the seasons when Church requires that we refresh with It our spiritual lives-this gave him the spirit­ ual energy which made him say 'No' to death on every front and a passionate 'Yes' to life in every form.

"With that same 'Yes' to eternal life he enters now into that life in God which was the goal of all his aspirations, the sum of all his hopes."

United States Catholic Confer­ ence, has announced here that the 12th annual four-day Na­ tional Conference on Catholic Youth Work will be held in Salt Lake City, star-ting Nov. 17.

Theme of the conference, which will be open to adults working with youth in a leisure, time context, will be "Toward 2000 A.D.-Change."

Msgr. Leonard said the format, designed by Dr. Donald M. Ehat, a behavorial scientist, will pro­ vide a new type of training pro­ gram which will assist partici­ pants in conference planning and execution of programs on the local and diocesan level.

It will also present an oppor­ tunity for youth participants to share their ideas and questions with youth workers, he added.

Judge Reduces War Protestors' Bail MILWAUKEE (NC)-Thirteen anti-war protestors including five priests, four ex-seminarians and a Christian Brother, all accused of burning draft records here, received considerable re­ duction in bail in Circuit Court.

At a hearing on writs of habeas corpus, Judge Harvey L. Neelen set bail at $2,500 for three protestors from Milwau­ kee, and $5,000 each for the other demonstrators who came here from outside Wisconsin.

Bail originally was established at $30,000 each.

Later, a 14th defendant, Mi­

duced from $27,000 to $10,000

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy The title of Charles Sopkin's Seven Glorious Days, Fun-Filled Nights (Simon and Schuster,' 630 Fifth Avenue, New'York, N.Y. 10020, $5.95) suggests that the book is an account, probably disillusioned, of one of those packaged-deal trips to a re­ bombing actually cause tremen­ sort in Florida or the Carib­ bean. But the horror story dous havoc in the country and people to suffer." he has written is a stt:ictly innocent No man can be all bad who, ~even

stay-at-home affair. In April 1967 Mr. Sopkin spent a w.hole week watching television. This dreadful experi­ ence he recon­ structs in agon­ izing d eta i I. Why did he ever undertake such a feat? It was in response to a suggestion made by Fred W. F r i end I y, for mer presi­ dent of the Columbia Broad­ casting System.' Deploring the average TV fare, Mr. Friendly advocated that the chief execu­ tives of the three major net­ works spend a whole day watch­ ing .'three television sets, each (If these tuned to one of the networks.

No one knows whether the big bosses ever acted on the fiendish proposal. Probably not.

But Mr. Sopkin decided to take it up and extend it. He had six sets installed in his apart­ ment, arranged a tape recorder, typewriter, and notebooks in front of them, and plunged in­ to' his seven-day ordeal.

Two WOl;th Watching Ordpa' it was. He started eady each morning and kept watching far into the night. He had some e~'e trouble,. which was only to be expected. But various other discomforts or ail­ ments overtook him. Food' be­ came tasteless. When finally He -lurched to bed, he either could not sle'ep or had terrifying dreams. \ Only two programs in the week's fare impressed him as worthwhile. One was a special, "The law and the Prophets," which combined a narrative 'fl'om the Old Testament with glimpses of artistic masterpieces depicting biblical events.

The other was the press con­ fel'ence which Svetlan:J Allilu­ yeva gave shortly after her ar­ rival in 'this country. ',{asiers of Evasion Mr. Sopkin developed an ob­ session with the daytime soap operas. Their implausibility and, 'o~ten, dow~ll'ight idiOCY fascin­ ated him. He began to look 'for­ ward eagerly, an addict -to a fix, to the next incredible in­ st<tllmen t. .

In the TV soaps, as in the old radio soaps, he discovered, all sorts of people are suffering from all sorts of mysterious ail­ ments, and death by falling (being pushed?) downstairs is a commonplace.

He is scol'nf,ul of the type of program on which a battery of newsmen quizzes a figure in public life. The journalists, he feels. ovel'do their rolcs of fear­ less borers-in, and the politic­ ians are masters of evasion.

He awards a special accolade to Senator Charles Percy for one of his non-answers: "But now I say that I would really limit the bombing rather than fit'ing a symbol from the sky to everyone in South Vietnam that they have :his enemy in the sky that can and does by its

Cardinal Cushing Stresses Bishopos Role as Teacher

HURON NC) - Richard t8ardinal Cushing- of Boston maid here in South· Dakota ~at if one ·word must be

The Rev. Benvindo Oliveira Leitao, 27, a native of Brava, Cape Verde Islands, re­ turned to his pal·i::;h assignment in Oporto, Portugal, last week-but he left a touch of himself behind in the wrig-gling persons of the three infants he baptized at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, New Berlford, the day before he left. Father Leitao arrived in the United States for his first vi:-;it three months ago. While here, he ,. alternated his time between

"It is the responsibility of thr.! l()ishop to guide the people o.f the New Testament in their holy \pilgrimage toward eternal life," Ine asserted.

"It is the responsibility of the bishop," Cardinal Cushirig. de-, ' dared, "to announce the Gospe~ of Christ to all men-to expound ~he whole mystery of Christ; to IPreach not only the gospeU of love but the gospel of sacrifice; 000 to'extend always thetbound­ ories of faith so that the light of ~ruth falls upon all men." ' The cardinal preached at the <consecration of Coadjutor Bish­ op Paul F. Anderson of Duluth, Minn., at ceremonies in the Huron Arena herc. Bishop Lam­ bert Hoch of Sioux Falls, S.D., was principal consecrator. Co­ eonsecrators we r e Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J . .Riley of B03­ oon and Bishop Francis J. SChenk of Duluth.

Explains CollegialUJ' Referring to the concept of' oollegiality, the cardinal said "what it really means is work­ ing together. Just as the Apos­ tles, with Peter, were a kind of Apostolic college from which the Church took its beginning, - so the apostolic successors, again with Peter, carryon the mission of the univer'sal Church in col·­ Raboration and cooperation.

"The wise bishop can take this as the pattern of his own work ond gather about him all ele­ ments in the Church for the good of all," he added.

Speaking of the bishop's role as teacher, the cardinal empha­ sized how closely a bishop must know and identify with his peo­ ple.

"In this connection," he said, "'a bishop should know how to nisten. One of the most profit-.

Dble ways of learn.ing .is to lis­ ten, and when we cease listening we most often stop learning.· When we stop learning, we really stop living."

Ready to ListeD Noting that bishops in the United States are "sometimes described as administrators," bardinal Cushing said "a diocese - especially a large one - de- . mands 'a great deal of adminis­ tration. For all of that, the wise bishop, in my judgment, is out of his office more than he is in it.

"And he should not be out preaching all the time;" the car­ dinal added; "sometimes he CJhould be out listening. Not everything he hears will be helpful and not everything will be pleasant to hear; but in most cases, he w ill come home wiser than he went out" " " The man of humility is always·.ready flo listen."

The young priest. Mr. Fer­ nandes reports, "liked it very much here.

"We took him to Plymouth and he enjoyed that-and he enjoyed the Cape. He liked the country atmosphere and being close to nature."

While staying in New Bedford, Fathcr Leitao was a guest at Our Lad:y of Mt. Cannel Rectory, where he a) so celebrated Mass occasionally.

He also sang a High Mass at Our Lady of the Assumption Church.

He was ordained last year in Oporto, after studying for the priesthood in Spain and Portu­ gal. He returned to .his parish church in Brava to sing his first Mass and then was assigned to the Oporto parish where he now will serve.

Education

THE AN'CHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Oct. 24, 1968

Catholic Colleges and Their Role . A statement from the head of the theology department of the Un~yersity of Notre Dame said that the contemJ?orary Catholic college cannot survive "as an enclave of orthodoxy to defend the faith of its students against the threats of the world" but must develop a community "throqgh which Jesus Christ is witnessed to the world."

What does this mean?

It is true that a Catholic college should not be so much, of a religious hothouse that its graduates cannot survive

in the outside world of diverse religious and moral beliefs.

But it is also true that college students, by their very definition are not finished products but are in a period of preparati~n and this preparation means not only in things secular but in matters religious as well. They should be imbued with this spirit of Christ so that they can witness Him to the world, and this to a greater degree' and with greater leadership than the person who does not have the , benefit of, college.

And so, if the Catholic college gradu~,te is to witness Christ to the world he must be given a deeper sense of Christ in his college. And this comes back to ·orthodoxy, doesn't it, because' orthodoxy means Christ as He is, as He has revealed Himself to men and still reveals Himself in and through His Church which lives ~m as the continuation of Christ in time and space.

This, as Gatholics, we believe.

Orthodoxy does not mean prejudice against men and women of other religious persuasions. Orthodoxy does not mean a smug, complacency in the knowledge that one pos­ sesses the truths of the faith. Orthodoxy does not mean a ,superiority in looking at the religious beliefs of others.

Orthodoxy does mean the grateful realiza,tion that the gift of faith has been given freely by God to oneself, Ortho­ doxy does mean the awareness that there are certainties that God has revealed to one and the necessity of a life based on these certainties. This kind of a life will be dif­ ferent from the life of one who does not believe in the same way. It will be a life that will come into conflict with the lives of others. It will be' a' life that will be different. .Because it will be a Christ-centered and Christ-orientated and Christ-inspired life. This is witnessing Christ to· the world.

Before one can witness Christ in this way he must know Christ. Not a wishy-washy Christ willing to scale down differences and to compromise beliefs and to overlook stan­ dards. But a Christ Who laid down the imperative, "If any man loves me he will keep my commandments." The Christ Who said, "You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free." The Christ Who did not hesitate to pro­ claim truth and to denounce' untruth, to love sinners but to hate sin', to condemn what was wrong while keeping a heart of love for the promoter of wrong and a desire to change' him and to give him goodness and truth.

Supreme Court Humphrey said: "In respect to the consUtutionaJ. issues which might be ,raised regarding fed­ eral. assistance to parochial schools and sectarian institu­ tions, I must say that I am in .complete agreement with' the Supreme Court of the United States which stated on June 10, of this year: "'Americans care about the quality of the secular education available to their. children. They have considered high quality to be an indispensable ingredient for achieving the kind of nation, and the kind o~ citizenry, that they have desired to create. Con­ sidering this attitude, the con­ tinued willingness to rely on private school systems, including parochial systems, strongly sug­ gests that a wide segment of in­ formed opinion, legislative and otherwise, has found that these schools do an acceptable job of providing secular education to their students. This judgment is further evidence that paro­ chial schools are performing, in . addition to their sectarian func­ tion, the task of secular educa­ tion.' '~,

to Select Advisory ~ou~cil

WASHINGTON (NC)-Proce­ dure for the selection of the first United States CathQlic Confer­ ence Advisory Council is out­ lined in a letter Archbishop John F. Dearden of Detroit, president of USCC, has sent to all Ordinaries in the country.

'l\he see-through blouse that is IIUddenly hitting the highspots in this age of everyday erotica is another feshion that was p0p­ ular during the forties wh~n mylon first came on the market.

Too long have we been slaves to the whim of Seventh Avenue.

The students each handed a . letter to Father Leo P. Me':" Laughlin, S.J.; university pres­ ident, who met the pro~ster8 outside the university' adminis.­ tration building. The student­ workers are striking because of a $35,000 cut in their bud·get, which leaves the station with an opening budget of $5,000 The cut would force curtailment of daily programming to three hours of recorded music.

Economy moves have ailreadly caused the dismissal of the sta­ tion manager and removal of a news service teletype from the .station. Fordham's communica­ tion ads department offers a major in broadcasting and the striking students contends the cutback in programming hours eliminates an important seg­ . mEmt of their training in the field.

SAN ANTONIO (NC)

'A Methodist bishop said here that the nine Protestant bodies working together on III plan of union under the aus­ picesof the Consultation on Churca Unity (COCU) are striv­ ing for a church in the United Sta,tes that' is "truly catholic, truly evangelical 'and truly re­ formed," and which will put it in a "very excellent position" with respect' to continuing ecu­ menical activity with the Cath­ Q1ic Church.

United Met hod i s t Bishop J'ames .' K. Mathews of Boston, who was elected COCU chairman in March, made his observations' on the relations between COCU and the Catholic church in an interview during the national dialogue session between repre­ sentatives of the United Method­ ist and Catholic Churches here.

Referring to the preesent state of the plan to unite the nine Protestant bodies, Bishop Math­ ews said "there is a go-ahead attitude;" and there are some "very favorable points in the air."

The' COCU chairman noted that there is "not universal 'en­ thusiasm' for this' undertaking among 'some of·the .constitutent 'bodies;'" but· said that "in my judgment,. ·there is every reason 10 be gr~tified."

He .pointed out that there' is a-"lively interest" in COCU at the grass roots level in many sectors, and said that one of the most encouraging signs thus far has been 'that none of the participa-ting churches has drop­ ]ped out of the consultation.

Signs. of Progress Bishop Mathews said that a <commission has ben appointed, which 'is .drafting a plan of union to be reported on by 1970. He pointed'to the recent establish­ ment of a .national 'office and a full-time general secI'etary for COCU as ';signs of progress."

COCU hopes to draw together the. Protestant Episcopal Church; the United Methodists; the'Pres­ byterian' Church,' and six othe'r Protestant· denominations, the cehai rlnan stated.

"We 'realize' the peril of c'on­ eeiving a narrowlyr national­ cehurch," Bishop Mathews de­ clared, "and although we don't have a ready formula for how such a church 'will . transce~d national' boundaries, our intent ·is that it should do so by in­ . volving itself in'· the World . Council. of Churches' and by having.a fraternal :relationship with churches'. throughout the' worl~." . .....

ThflCOCU leader: stated that' Cathdlic observers. have 'been' present at COCU meetings sinc'E!

Courageous New Bedford Man Faces Life Dependent on Artificial Kidney The first public announcement of medical emergency in the John R. Easton family of New Bedford was a request for blood read at Masses at Our Lady of the Assump­

tion Church one Sunday morning several months ago. The blood was forthcoming, Mrs. Easton of 441 Hillman Street recalls, and her son John, 22, got over one more hurdle.

Today, the Easton family has even more reason to feel "how good people are," John's mother says. A one­ room addition is being added to the Easton's small cottage-a room that will spell "life" to John.

It is being constructed with funds raised in a John Easton fund drive conducted by Station WBSJY1 in New Bedford, a cam­ paign that picked up donations from as far away as Florida. , The new'room will house an artificial kidney-a machine that will do what John's own diseased kidneys no longer can do, fil­ ter waste products from his body.

Three nights a week, the strapping 6 !foot 3 inch former basketball player will be hook­ ed into the machine for nine hours at a time. lLife-Giving Machine As he dozes, or reads or watches television or talks to his family or visitorS,the ma­ chine will pump John's blood through a two-level "bath"-' the blood and the dialysate so­ lution , separated only by a cellophane membrane through which blood impurities will seep into the cleaning solution. When the biood is returned to his body, it 'will beu~able for an­ other 48 hours. Then John is hooked back into the machine fur another treatment.

Since May, Mrs. Easton has ,_ been learning to operate the aI'tificial kidney, with, she ad­ mits, a "tremendous amount of help" from her son.

Mr. and Mrs. Easton drive John to Lemuel Shattuck Hospi­ tal in Boston every MondaJl, Wednesday and Friday.

There; in a room with a num­ ber of other fellow-sufferers, John goes through "a run" on the machine that will be moved into his hOuse as soon as the new room is ready.

Friday, says the patient, '"is my easiest day. I don't have to assemble the machine and steri­ lize it, I do on'the other days." . Looking at John, big and 'healthy appearing, it seems in­ credible that he depends, for life on a machine. The only visible sign of his illness is the shunt in his left arm-a plastic tube connecting the two small tUbes ,one leading into an artery and one into a vein­ through which his blood circu­ lates when he is unhooked Ifrom his artificial kidney.

That shunt is the one part of his body that John must guard constantly. Once he loved swim­ ming. Today swimming is for­ bidden because "infection migbt get in through the shunt."

He cannot do heavy work that migbt damage the sbunt. Active sports, like tennis and basket­ ball, are out' because of the dan­ ger of infection from perspira­ tion rolling down ms arm and. eontaminating the shunt.

Takes bn Stride For (il young man-tbe only male in the Easton's six-child family-total dependence OR Iii machine could be depressing.

John, however, tm taking bte disability in stride.

Since last Octobell', when be first discovered he was a victim of chronic nephritis, John bas been building up his ltourage and building u,p bia family's in the process. , Mr. Easton said quietly thEJ ~hel' da~ "pome things ba~

Cites Jewish Aid To ~~aftrcn$ NEW YORK (NC) - Msgr.

John M. Oes,terreicher said that Jewish aid to Biafra "is a his­ tory-making event" that w1n "set the history of Christian­ Jewish relations on a new course."

Msgr. Oesterreicher, director of the Institute of Judaeo-Chris­ tian Studies at Seton Hall Uni­ versity, addressed members and !friends of the Edith Stein Guild here at the Communion break­ fast held annually in her mem­ ory. She was a German Jewish philosopher and convert who became a Carmelite nun and was murdered by the nazis.

Msgr. Oesterreicher said that last Summer American Jewish leaders founded the American Jewish Emergency Effort for Biafran Relief. S'ince then they have sent $90,000 to assist starv­ ing Biafrans through Protestant and Catholic relief agencies.

The priest said this attempt by the Jewish community to come to the aid of a far-away people who are not Jewish is an act of extraordinary unselfishness.

"It was an act we must make known,' we must acknowledge and pay tribute to," Msgr. Oester­ reicher stated. "I have no doubt that the unprecedented effort is 1Il history-making event, that i¢ has set the history of Christian­ Jewish relations on a new course."

8ishop's Letter Continued from Page One Almost fifty years ago, Pope Pius XIth sought to stimulate Christian Faith by reminding us that we owe a tremendous debt to God through Christ our King.

He became one of us. He gave His Life to redeem us. He opened for us the portals of the house of God. He gave us His Mother to intercede for us. He urged us ,to imitate Him, and so find peace. His constant mes­ sage was "believe in me; fear not, I am with you all days."

"Why should you be fearful, 0 you of Httle faith?" "Learn of Me, and you will find rest for your souls."

Today Pope Paul VIth calls us to renew and make more practi­ cal our faith on this Feast of Christ the King. It is never enough to say, "Lord, Lord, '" Ol< (~ but he who does the Will of the Father in heaven, he it is that will be saved." Theologians may speculate on the composition of the Creed. But let us remember: Christ did not write it. He lived it. "I do always the things that please God." "My meat is to do the Will of Him that sent Me." If there is anything that ex­

plains the confused thinking of this day it is that so many fear to lose the wrong things, and so many put their faith in words rather than deeds.

Pope Paul spelled out his own beliefs four months ago. He summed it up by reminding the faithful that Faith is something to be lived. He warns men that "It is not enough to know the Word of God. It must be lived."

"If you know these things," said our Savior, "you will be blessed if you do them." And St. James long, long ago, wrote that "Faith without works is dead."

So we find ourselves, in this scientific age, compelled to practice the science of the Saints. We are exhorted on this feast of Christ the King, to make this a day of consecration, of renewal, of committment, fear­ ing indeed the loss of an immor­ tal soul, but sure that whoever loves God above all, and his neighbor as himself, abides in Christ, and Christ in him,and God will raise him up on the last day.

We cannot then do anything wiser or better than ·to extend to Christ the use of our mind, will, hands and heart. We want Him to speak on our lips, singing Uie praise of God. We want Him to extend His min­ istry of mercy to men through lIS. If we look for a simple rule to guide us in devotion to God, we should adopt faithfully the values set by Our Blessed Lord in the Beatitudes. Especially, let us put faith in His standard of worth: "So lEit yOUll light shine before men, sO that they may see the good things you do, and eome to give glory to your Father Who Is In heaven." (St. Matthew 5:16). "The Lord is our helper, whom shall we fear.

Our help in Is in the name of the Lord Who made heaven and earth."

Faithfully yours in Christ, ~ JAMES L. CONNOLLY Bishop of Fall River.

Priests' 'Study Group Provides Series For Enrichment of Clergy c>

Thurs., Oct. 24, 1968

Catholic Laymen Back Cardinal

By Rev. James W. Ciark

"All priests must be mature.in knowledge; they should be well acquainted with the documents of the Church's teaching authority; and they should keep abreast of the developments not only of the sacred sciences but also of other fields of knowledge, so 'as to participate intelligently in contemporary affairs." In these words and in this vein, the recently' promul­ gated P~-Synodal Decrees for updating the life of the Church speaks to each and every priest of the l!~all River Diocese. And because of these words, a new challenge and re­ sponsibility has been given-a challenge both approved by'" Bish()p Connolly and joyfully accepted by all priests in this part of the Lord's vineyard.

October 25 On Friday, October 25th, the Priests' Study Group of this diocese will commence its 1968­ 1969 session. This year's pro­ gram will attempt to provide a series of meetings, lectures and discussions that will truly aid and assist all clergy in this mod­ ern day and age. And as a result, it is hoped that the life and work of our ministerial priest­ hood will' be both enriched and enhanced, to better serve the needs and desires of the people of God committed to our pas:. toral care.

The noted and respected soci­ ologist, Fr. Andrew Greeley, has spoken these few well chosen words about the priest of today's church: "To be a man of hope the priest must be a man of vision and must be able to see a vision, and to constantly renew it. The priest must be a man of wisdom.

But wisdom is not' acquired au­ tomatically or by accident. Wis­ dom is the result of thought and theorizing. If the priest is not intellectually curious, he does not think; if he is not constantly refining and reforming his theo­ ries, it is terribly" difficult to see how he can keep his vision alive and growing. Under such circumstances it would be unre­ alistic to expect him to be a man of hope particularly at a time when the Church is going through great and traumatic changes."

Study Group The members of the Priests' Study Gro'up therefore recogni~ and accept the responsibility committed to them by Christ and his Church through their Bishop to strive together un­ ceasingly to make themselves ever more effective instruments for the furtherance of the Gospel.

'WASHINGTON (NC)-Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle of Washington received lay support for his dis­ ciplinary action against dissident local priests with the formation of a .Washington area chapter' of Catholics United for the Faith, (CUF). .

At a meeting of St. Stephen Martyr, church, 120 Washington area Catholics associated them­ selves with CUF, a national or­ ganization launched at a press conference held in Washington in September.

The national presffient, H. Lyman Stebbins, announced then that the purpose" of CUF was to be "a rallying point, a point of unity, for the multitude of Catholics who have felt be­ wildered and blown about by the thousand winds of false doc­ trine being constantly puffed out by a thousand counterfeit teach­ ers."

Gen. Thomas A. Lane, former Engineer. Commissioner of the

District of Columbia,' and a member of CUF's national council, chaired the organiza­ tional meeting here. He said that despite the. immediate goal of responding to the dissident priests, the organization intends to help heal the division within the Church and not to accentu­ ate them.

PRIESTS' GROUP: Officers .of Fall River Priests' Study Group are, front row, Rev. James W. Clark and Rev. Leo T. Sullivan, and rear, Rev. Peter N .Graziano and Rev. Arthur DeMello.

Executive Board T'he executive Board elected to office for this year includes . the following: President, Fr. Peter Graziano; Vice Pres., Fr. Leo Sullivan; Secretary, Fr. Jomes W. Clark;

Treasurer, Fr. Arthur DeMello.

Other members of the Board include: Rev. Gerald T. Shovel­ ton, Rev. Peter Mullen, Rev. Robert McGowan and Rev. Michael McPartland.

A new and important era for the life of the Church has been ushered irito existence through the valuable and inspirational work of the Second Vatican Council. The Fall River Diocese intends to positively respond to \ the present movement of the Holy Spirit. With this thought in mind the Priests' Study Group intends to chart a course of action and to provide a means for all priests to better their apostolate and to strengthen bond of unity in faith and love in action. A noble .goal of infor­ mation, education, fraternity and service hopefully will be en­ riched by the noble desires and good intentions of a clergy loy­

ally committed to Jesus Christ

and his Church.

Asserts Religion On Downgrade In Red lands CHICAGO (NC)-The re­ ligious situation in lands held by communists has not improved but has deterio­ rated during the past 25 yeal'!;, Philadelphia's John Cardinal Krol said here.

Speaking at the .25th anniver­ saJ'y convention of the Catholic League for Religious Assistance to Poland at the International Amphitheater here, C a I' din a I Krolllsked: "Is there a continued need for the activity of the Catholic League?"

"The answer," he said, "should be obvious. Communism has' not changed its objectives. It has declared an all-out war against religion. Spil"itual oppression with its normal wake of moral decadence can be more destruc­ tive than political or economic enslavement."

Noting that the tactics used by communists in achieving their anti-religious goals are "adjust­ ed to the circumstances of time and place," Cardinal Krol said that the strategy in Poland has . been "to avoid as much as pos­ sible open confrontation."

"There is no doubt that com­ munism wants desperately the death of the Church and of re­ )igion," the cardinal continued, "but it also wants the death cer­ tificate to read that the death occurred apparently of 'natural causes,' " Shocking Evidence "The world was provided with the shocking evidence recently," em'dinal Krol said, "of the de­ termination of the communist countries to contain and domin­ ate, if necessary by brute force.. the people over whom it ac­ quired control," "The repetition of these fa(:ts publicly known," the cardinal concluded, "may cause some to try again to denounce and dis­ credit me for hostile criticism.

May I assure you it is not my purpose or intention to exag­ gerate.

"I am merely calling attention to facts which the world knows and I do so only to bring out in bold relief the fact that the Catholic League for Religious Assistance to Poland has a role far more urgent today than it had 25 years ago.

"The most vital, and urgent imperative in the struggle against communism is to sustain the spiritual life and resistance of the enslaved people. The ulti­ mate· hope of victory lies not so much in atomic power of the spirit-in the power and light of Christ."

Ne:v Bedford Native Tra-vels Far as Wife o.~ Danish Ambassador Hammershaimb The~ Chu~h III

all are Danes-at least 50 per New Bedford, Venzel Jr. and ?f PIttsburgh but then of ~orcester, 109 Danes, they also are Amencans-all, same place, Women's Hos­ pital in New York City. f' --' The qual'tet are the chil­ dren of Ambassador and Mrs. Venzel U. Hammershaimb of Copenhagen.

Mrs. Hammer­ shaimb is the former Evelyn A. Holt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis S. Holt of St. James parish, New Bedford.

The at~ractive "diplomatic" wife was graduated from Sac:red Hearts Academy in Fait'haven, Trinity College in Washington and the Katharine Gibbs School before she met her husband, then a vice~consul in New York.

They were married in 1947 and since then, she recalls, the world has been their home.

Hard Language For a year and a half after their marriage, the Hammer­ shaimbs lived in New York.

Then their was a four-month tour in Denmark - where the New Bedfordite started to learn her new language. "It' took me a good three years, at least," she says wryly, "and I still don't 'speak' it," From Denmark Ule young couple returned to her home state of Massachusetts where the Danish' consular officer studied for his master's degree in international law at Harvard University.

"He was hel~e with the Unit.ed Nations from 1946 and became interested in it," Mrs. Hammer­ shaimb explains, sitting com­ fortably on a wing chail' at her parents' home.

Later, the family moved to West Berlin for a four-year tour.

"My husband was head of the mission there," Mrs. Hammer­ shaimb explains.

The next three years were spent in Caracas, Venezuela where he served as' ambassado; of Denmark arid where Mrs. Hammershaimb expanded her reputation as one of the most informal and relaxed members of the diplomatic colony. ' Adjustirig to new lands, tradi­ tions and languages was not difficult, she says, "Probably because we both enjoy our jobs."

Cooperative Effod Adjusting to changes in the liturgy resulting from the Ecu­ menical Council also was simple, she says, "especially after Vene­ zuela' where one priest says Mass, one gives the sermon and another takGs up the collection!"

As Evelyn Holt the trav~ling wife got a sample of what her future life would be. While a student at Trinity College, she joined a group of college stu­ dents for a :,?ummer-Iong tour of Europc.

That was in 1939, and the stu­ dents were part of the crush. of American!' trying to book pas­ sage home after war was de­ clared.

She returned for two other European visits before the night she met the young man who was to become her husband.

Today, "home" is "a large apartment overlooking the Tivoli Gardens" in Copenhagen "just a few minutes walk fro~ my husband's office." His pres­ ent assign,?ent, she explains, is comparable to that of an under secretary of state in the United States, with his responsibilities encompassing "operations of Danish embassies around the world," The four Hammershaimb "children" now are students, Ed­

cent-but Edgar was baptized at St. Jame3 Eleanor by the Most Rev. John J. Wrigh~, now and Evelyn by the Papal Nuncio. Despite be­ their mother reports with a grin, born in the

The "boys" now tower over their mother, she admits, with Edgar touching the 6 feet 3 mark and "the little one" tow­ ering "over six feet."

Each year, when possible, the Hammershaimb family trillS to get to its favorite Summering spot, West Tisbury, MaI'tha's Vineyard, where Mrs. Hammer­ shaimb's aunt, Mrs. Edgar W. Cottle of Harvard and Martha's Vineyard has had a Summer home for years.

"We just relax there," the diplomat's wife says. "We try to be there around Labor Day." This year, in addition to catch­ ing up with family and relaxing on the Vineyard, Ambassador and Mrs. Hammershaimb h;:ld a special reason for their annual visit, the investiture last month of her parents into the Eques­ trian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre of J'erusa­ lem in ceremonies at St. Pat­ rick's Cathedral.

The Holts joined their daugh­ ter and Mrs, Holt's sister in the order .Both were invested pre­ viously.

Ambassador Hammershaimb returned to his duties i.n Copen­ hagen two weeks ago. Mrs. Hammershaimb stayed on for a visit with her parents. She flew out of New York Monday.

Her life these days is glitter­ ing and the former Sacred Hearts Academy student enjoys every minute of it: however, she has learned a lesson ill. her diplomatic travels.

"Things som!ltimes are much more exciting when you're look­ ing at them from the outside, Going to a dinner party every night sounds more exciting than it is. Being at home is pleasant."

'Probe Theol'ogians Catholic University Adopts P'rocedure

To Investigate Faculty Members

WASHINGTON (NC) - The academic senate of the Catholic University of America has adopted the procedures it will follow in 'the investigation of a group of faculty members who have publicly dissented from Pope Paul's encyclical on birth control, Humanae Vitae.

The .sell<:'te has agreed that the five-member board charged with seeing whether the dissenting professors violated their trust with the pontificai university will be se~ected within the next fortnight.

The procedures adopted pro­ vide that the theologians who are to be investigated will have the right to participate in every session of the board of inquiry.
