To Answer 'Call to Action Very Caref_lIl1y WASHINGTON (NC -- The president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) said that the NCCB will take a "very careful approach" in evaluating the recommendations approved by the 'Call of Action' conference in Detroit. Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati, NCCB president,
said two factors affected the meeting and its outcome. "First, in retrospect it seems that too much was attempted," he said. "Anyone of the eight large topics considered would have provided more than enough work for the limited time available. All of them together overwhelmed the conference. The
result was haste and a determination to formulate recommendations on complex matters without adequate reflection, discussion, and consideration of different points of view. "Second, special interest groups advocating particular causes seemed to play a disproportionate role. These groups
had a right to be present and make their views known. However, their actual role went beyond this and, in my judgment and that of others, dominated the conference as a whole. The result was a process and a number of recommendations which were not representative of the Church in this country and
which paid too little attention to other legitimate interests and concerns." The more than 1,300 delegates to the conference, held Oct. 21-23, adopted a host of recommendations for consideration in a five year Catholic social action plan. Among other Turn to Page Eleven
