Atty. Hanify Stresses Catholics Defend Existence of Government

Male R.N. Joins Catholic Guild

WASHINGTON (NC}-Catholic opposition to abortion and contraception must not be forced . into catacombs, the head of the Human Life Foundation told a group of lawyers here.

Catholic stands on a variety of moral issues actually reflect "the patrimony of social virtues on which our forefathers of other religious faiths built the

nation," Atty. Edward B. Hanify told a John Carroll Society dinner here.

In speaking out on these issues Catholics "are not offending against the pluralism of our society," the Boston attorney said.

"We are defending the integrity and very existence of our govern-. ment."

Hanify said that while "environmentalists insist on the morality" of anti-pollution efforts, "no responsible person suggests that the protection of the environment unduly infringes, LONDON (NC) - Worn e n on the consciences of those who should be qualifed for ordination might prefer greater laxity in the as Anglican priests, a majority laws regulating pollution." of the Church of England synod However, Hanify said, "When meeting here has indicated.

Asks Full Equality Committee Finds Bias Against Women , At. Duquesne University" PITTSBURGH (NC) - A sixmonth study ordered by Duquesne University has found pervasive bias against women at' the Catholic institution.

The study - produced by a seven-member committtee headed by Dr. Francesca Colecchia, a modern language professor-asserted that women faculty and staff members receive lower salaries than men in similar positions, are under-represented in general "do not enjoy full equality with men."

The committeee said ,it "can find nothing to explain, for exampJe, a $3,000 salary difference between a man and woman professor in the same department with identical credentials nor the . $10,400 difference between the highest paid full professor dn the University (a man) and the lowest paid full professor (a woman)."

The panel said it also found an "anti-feminine bias" in the selection of faculty members to represent the university at pro. fessional meetings and to sit on committees.

In addition, the committee said that there is an "apparently different criteria for the promotion and tenure of women" at the university, that women are not equitably represented on the board of trustees, and that women students are treated unfavorably in the allocation of funds for intramural athlet!ics .

The committee recommended that a special fund, totalling about $90,000, be established to "redress inequities suffered by all women" at Duquesne.

The panel also suggested that "immedate steps be taken for the

prompt advancement of qualified women to, administrative ,and policy-making posilJions," that "prompt measures" be initiated to insure representation of women on committees in proportion to their number, and that the in~ stitution's athletic budget be changed to provide a women's intra-mural program "comparable in every way" with the current men's program.

A university spokesman said the university was seeking ways to implement the committee's report, which had been commissioned by the school's administration to produce information needed for obtaining possible federal aid in the future.

ORLANDO (NC) - Episcopal and Catholic Bishops in Central Florida gave their endorsement to next year's nationwide evangelistic effort Key '73.

In response to a letter from Dr. Howard Chadwick, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church here, Bishop William D. Borders of the Catholic Diocese of Orlando said he "certainly endorsed the genuine concern that has motivated the effort."

Bishop William Folwell of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida gave similar encouragement to the program at a meeting with Rev. Gary Wayne Buhl, local chairman of Key '73.

Key '73 is a continent-wide program of more than 130 Christian churches and groups to announce the good news of Jesus Christ to every person in North America.

5 Broadens Role of Clergy, Laity

UTILE ROCK (NC) - Bishop Andrew J. McDonald, ordained only two months, has asked the priests, Religious and laity of his diocese to propose the names of individuals they feel are qualified candidates for elevation to the episcopacy.

Bishop MCDonald said a bish, op should make the inquiry about candidates for the episcopacy an on-going procedure and stressed there is no office in the Church more important in spreading the Gospel than that of bishop. ' Each individual was restricted to proposing two candidates, he said. The qualifications of each candidate should be listed, and

the names of priests outside the diocese are welcome, he said.

Bishop McDonald previously had announced other changes in the administration of the diocese that were designed to broaden the role of clergy and laity in diocesan affairs. .

Last month, he said he would reactivate the priests' senate on organizational lines chosen by the priests, would expand membership on the priests' personnel board to give priests a greater voice in its deliberations, and would establish a diocesan pastoral council composed of priests, Religious and laity.

Pontiff Stresses Vatican II Urged ' Interior Renewal VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Second Vatican Council called for "continuing self-reform" by both the Church and individual bel,ievers, Pope Paul VI told a general audience Nov. 8.

Pope Paul stressed, however, that the renewal called for by the council was that of "interior renewal, rather than exterior renewal."

The word "renewal" has not always been understood in the way the Council wished it, Pope Paul said. "For some it was a resounding condemnation of the past and a license to break away from it without any regard for its vital and demanding function as the vehicle of the essential principles by which the Church and, above all, its faith and constitution live".

"Some have used the word 'renewal'," he said, "to justify a concept of the Church that would mean separating it from "its institutional, historic, visible and exterior structures." In doing this, the Pope said, they forget that "the soul of the Church without its body in which it lives can no longer be found nor be active."

Positive Aspects To attempt to secularize the Church in order to bring Jt up to date means that two things are being ignored, the Pope went on. "The first .is that renewal, the vital and continuing process in a living organism such as the Church, cannot be a metamor" phisis, a radical transformation, or a lack of faithfulness to the essential and perpetual elements" that make up the Ch'uhch.

The second, the Pope said, is "that the hoped for renewal is that of internal renewal and not exterior renewal." This form of renewal is not easy because it means a "continuous selfreform," he said.

Ecumenism Result Among these he cited the education that modern Christians have received from the council's teachings, with the consequent "new and open attitude toward natural, earthly, historical, and scientific values, which is one of the characteristic aspects of the co\.incil."

The reawakening of ecumenism was another positive result of the council, the Pope said, as well as new "respect for nonChristian religions, for our own adversaries and for the values of human activities."

The council taught Christians again how to see ''In every man the image of Christ, a brother to be respected, served and loved." He asked: "Is this not perhaps a fundamental and important criterion for that renewal .of which the Church and the worJd have need."

Among the thousands at the papal adience were a large group from the Meyers Bakery of Little Rock, Ark., that gave a rousing cheer when its name was read out; members of the Catholic Daughters of America from Maryland; the general chapter of the School Sisters of Notre Dame; actors belonging to the touring show of "Disney on Parade" and a group of Asian refugees expelled from Uganda.

Catholic Hospital Combats VD

.Latin Hangs On "Latin is a language As dead as dead can be, It killed all the Romans And now it's 'killing me."

The generations of Catholic school students who expressed their discontent in that ditty can take some comfort in the thought .that L~tin is killing fewer students these days. They may be disappointed however, to learn that Latin is not buried yet.

A survey of Catholic schools in various parts of the country shows that, while some have dropped the language altogether and most do not require students to take it, many still offer courses in Latin, although enroll-' ment in those courses is down considerably from previous years.

BILLINGS (NC)-S1. Vincent's Hospital here in Montana, embroiled in a birth control controversy in which a federal court ordered the Catholic institution to perform a sterilization operation, earned front-page headlines and editorial laurels when it announced the opening of a clinic to combat a spreading epidemic of syphillis and gonorrhea in this area.

Citing country government's "disregard of health care priorities," the hospital, operated by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kan., has made available its emergency rooms, under the supervision of doctors, for treat· ment of the diseases.

The tltree-day-a-week VD program will attempt control of y",ll"wc:tone County's estimated 3,000 annual cases of venereal diseases on a six-month trial basis.

"The venereal disease problem has reached such epidemic proportions that the communitv cannot afford to wait for the appropriate officials (the County Commission) to respond to this critical need," Sister Therese Zimmerman, S1. Vincent's nursing director, said.

"Something had to be done. to combat this epidemic," Dr. J. S. Lydiatt, one of the new cli.nic's supervisors. said..

The Billings Gazette, daily newspaper here, praised the Catholic hospital for taking steps to fight the VD epidemic. The newspaper also criticized the county government in stalling to do the job S1. Vincent's took on.

Home's Placte W!h·e!re Teens Are Nev,er to b;e' Found

The first five of my eight children are now teen-agers.

The oldest, complete with beard and shoulder length hair, started college this fall. When he was a baby I remember overhearing a neighbor send her children out to play with this warning: "Don't stay '''So long, Mom. I'm 'going over here! You'll mess 'up our to my girl friend's house.

ways 'going to he welcome in our home. When the children were all little, they were always 'around me. It was horrible. They were constantly underfoot. But I did feel it was important that they learn they were wanted.

It went a Httle too far though, because most of the other kids in the neighborhood felt I wanted them, .too ... and our yard 'looked like the playground in the zoo.

Still, I was sure ,it was worth it. As they grew up, they would know that they were welcome at home, loved, needed and wanted.

Simple Logic Before any of my chHdren reached· their teens, I was an authority 011 all teen-age prob· lems. I knew the reason so many teen-agel's ran away from home was simply because they were never wanted around when they were little.

Threrefore ... simple logic ... children welcome at home as youngsters will be happy at home as teenagers.

So, what happened? I now have five teen-agel's in the house ... in the house long enough to " say, "I'm on my way, Mom ... see you later."

Now that they are old enough to hold an 4ntelligent conversation, all they say is "gOOd-bye."

They go to school, then to after-school acNv·ities in the and out door ... eat dinner for the evening of after-supper activ,ities.

The two oldest boys, who are dat,ing, . sometimes start their after-supper activities after breakfast.

Deacon to Officiate At Daughters' Wedding ,PERTH (NC) - Per,th's first permanent married deacon, the ReV'. David O'Brien-:-recently ordained by Archbishop Launcelot Goody of Perth-will oWciate at his daughters' double wedding in December.

Deacon O'Brien gave Communion to his wife, two sons and two daughters in the Mass at his ordination.

Deacon O'Brien is an engineer at a radio station here in Australia and studied theology for the diaconate in his, spare time.

He will continue to work in his .profession as well as performing his ministerial' duties.

I'm left at home with our car ... which is filthy.

The one who's away at college is the worst of!1H. At least I see the others at mea.Jtimes. He comes home only on weekend-so "Hi, Mom, I'm home. I left my laundry by the washer." (Big deal ... he's helping with the housework.) ."I've been invited to my girl friend's for supper.

See you later."

Taking-Off Period Sometimes I wonder df 1 had thrown them out when they were little if they'd come home once 'in a while, out of simple curiosity, just to see what the inside of our house looks like.

I was bemoaning their absence to my husband. "Our kids are never here! And the one at college ... he breaks' my heart.

Sometimes I feel the real reason he went to college was to get ~away from home." '.

Good old philosophical hus'band, who can see the bright side of anything, thought for a minute, then offered, "Look at it this way. The only thing worse thlan children who want to leave home is children who never do."

His comment . sounded a bit flip until I thought it through.

When children are born, they are completely dependent on their parents. The long-range goal, however, must be teaching those children to be morally, mentally, and physically capable adults.

The "taking off" peniod during teen-age years is necessary ... for it is the only way they can mature and become -indepen::lent.

And I wonder if -it is also part of God's plan that parents start to yearn for peace and quiet as the1r teen-agel's grow. Some day, I may be glad to see them go!

Capital Agency Reports Over 18,000 Abortions WASHINGTON (NC)-Hospitals and clinics in the District of Columbia. performed at least 18,897 abortions in 1971, almost two-thirds of them for persons who reside elsewhere, the D. C. Department of Human Resources reported.

The a~ency said that, of the total number of abortions reported to it, 5,674, of the operations were for District women.

2,963 for Maryland women, and 2,755 for Virginia women.

The remaining 7,485 abortions were performed on women by abortion facilities which either listed them as non-D. C. residents or which did not give their addresses at all, the department stated.

The department's report was the first time it had released statistics on abortion at medical facilities -in the nation's capital.

A total of 10 of 12 district hospitals and clinics where abor-. tionsare performed supplied the data for the report. The other two facilties refused to divulge their records.

New SC'h,ools Are B,eyond Parish Means WASHINGTON· (NC) - The idea that it is financially impossible to build new Catholic schools in the suburbs "has been an obstacle to doing research to see whether it is," said Auxiliary Bishop William McManus of Chicago, chairman of the U.S. Catholic Conference education committee.

At a St. Louis archdiocesan .teachers institute, Bishop McManus spoke of an "undeclared moratorium on construction of new schools in suburban areas."

He told NC News that' he meant "that the trend toward building a school with each parish has not continued."

There is, he said, a presumption that the cost of new construction is beyond the means of the typical surburban parish and that if they put up a school, they could not maintain it."

"The typical surburban parish is b e i n g started without a school," in contrast to the procedure of past years, the bishop said.

Woman leaves Family To Become Novice NEUNKIlWHEN (NC) - After 20 years of marriage an Austrian woman recently packed a few personal belongings, kissed her husband and stepson good-bye at their farm and 'left home to become a novice at a Benedictine convent.

She is Mrs. Marianne Kienast, 48, wife of the burgomaster of the village of Neunkirchen, near Innsbruck. Earlier, with the consent of her husband, she wrote ,to the Vatican asking for special permission .to join the Benedictine order. The permission was granted by the Vatican.

"We have parted the best of friends," her husband said. "My only concern is her· happiness!"

Now known as Sister Marianne, she hopes to work in an orphanage or do similar social work. After a year or two as a novice she will be allowed occasional visits by her husband and stepson.

PORTLAND (NC) - Retired Archbishop Edward D. Howard of Portland has celebrated his 95th birthday here in Oregon. ~ Archbishop Howard is the i 'third oldest bishop in the world.

According to Bishop Franois P. Leipzig, the retired bishop of Baker, Ore., and Church historian, the two oldest prelates live in Italy: Antonio Teutonico, born in 1874, and Augusto Betazzoni, • born in 1876: Bishop Leipzig also noted, in an artticle in The Catholic Bulletin here, that only three of 501 prelates who died sihce 1790 had reached the age of 95.

Archbishop Howard whose birthday was on Nov. 5, retired at the age of 89 on Dec. 10, 1966.

new schools are too costly, Bishop McManus said. "You have to examine situation by situation whether there is a demand," he said.

Catholic school officials in various parts of the country bore out Bishop McManus's view that there has been little school construction in recent years.

Father John Boles, director of education in the Boston archdiocese, said that a moratorium has not been declared "in any formal way, but in fact there has been no construction for s'everal years." The reason, he said, is lack of funds.

A moratorium "has not been spelled out," said Father Thomas J. McAnoy, director of the Detroit archdiocesan department of education, "but it's been a long time since they've built one. He said that it was seven years since the last Catholic school was built.

Lack of funds was again given as the reason. "I don't know that there have been any requests" from parishioners to have schools built, Father McAnoy said.

He said Catholic schools "can survive if they get tax credit help and stabilize rapidly increasing costs."

Uniyersity Head Asks ~State Aid Private Colleges ST. PAUL (NC) - The president of St. Louis University has asserted that private higher education must be assisted by public funds' because it, is "value oriented" :and saves the states money they would have to expend on education of all students jf it collapsed.

Father 'Paul C. Reinert, a Jesuit who is also chairman of the Association of American Colleges, haTied programs in some states, such as Minnesota, :which have granted public support to private higher education.

Father Reinhert made his remarks at the third annual meeting of the' President's Council of the College of St. Thomas' here.

The priest, president of St, Louis University: since 1949, addressed the advisory group of clergy and laity on the topic, "Private Higher Education-Who Needs It?" Basic Reasons Father Reinert, in a book entitled, "To Turn the Tide," had 'insisted the country needs private education and suggested immediate measures'to perserve the pluralistic system - public 'and private - of higher education in the U.S. I .

Recalling the themes of his book, Father Reinert said there were two ,basic reasons to preserve and invigorate private colleges and universities. "One is' purely economical," he said. "The other, becctuse it involves value judgments, is not as self-evident and requires somewhat more lengthy explanation."

Discussing the economic reason, the priest denounced the view that private higher education is a "system whose time has come" like "an outmoded life style or Some quaint industry I whose products no longer are needed."

He asserted, "Were the private secto~ to collapse, the' severest stress would be put upon, already hard-prEissed state budgets to either absorb or supplant these institutions. For the public sector to shoulder the en,tire burden would mean-expending many times the tax dollar now being allocated to higher education."

Vidue-Oriented Turning to his second argument, Father Reinert noted it was characteristic of independent institutions such as the College of St. Thomas,and St. Louis University to be committed to clearly defined goals.

"In the public sector, size and , numbers as well as .dependence upon tax support'militate against' such commitments," he said.

"The public institution, almost by definition, must attempt to be all things to all segments of the public On the other hand, a private college or university can be value-orien~ed. It can be concerned with the total studen't, going beyond pumping information into his head to an interpretation of his environment and helping him to arrive at clear answers to such existential questions as 'Who am I?' 'Where am I going?' and 'Why?' "

Measlures Rejected

NEW ORLEANS(NC) - The bishops of the Episcopal Church ' in the U.S. ha'le voted to permit women to be ~ligible for ordina. tion to the pr,esthood.

By breakin!l with a centuriesold tradition, the bishops pro· pounded a vi ~w that probably will have mark ed effect upon de'liberations of the Church's na· tionar general convention next year.

Only the convention, scheduled for next Octcber, can actually institute the practice of ordaining women. The bishop's decision, by a 74-6,. vote, merely was an expression of opinion.

According tJ Bishop Edward' R. Welles of Missouri, one of the speakers at the bishops' meeting here, the Anglican Churches in Wales, the province of West Mrica and the ;>rovince of Burma already have 'Ioted in fav.or of priests. Last )ear, the Anglican bishop of Hor g Kong ordained two women to the 'priesthood on his own authol'ity.

In 1970, the Episcopal general convention ha j considered the question of ( rdainirig women, but the mention was defeated in the convention's House of Deputies. That house, with the House of Bishops, legislates all questions for the Church.

By their vot,~ the U.S. Episcopal bishops hecame the first large Anglican hierarchy to chal. lenge and overturn the tradition barring women from ordination.

Educator Says Catholic Schools In Renaissance

Name Observers For Meeting

CANANDAIGUA (NC) "Catholic education has had its day in hell, but it is now in its renaissance," says a man experienced in Iboth public and private education. ' Dr. Edward DeRoche, chairman of Marquette 'University's curriculum and administration department, conducted a Rochester workshop for diocesan elementary school principals at Notre Dame Retreat House in this New York community.

DeRoche has taught and been a principal in elementary and junior high schools in Massachu1setts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

'Inan interview with the Courier-JQurnal, the diocesan newspaper here. DeRoche said: "]1here is much more of a cI1ance for positive change dn Catholic schools because of the tradition of ,leadership being much more humane.'; He predicted, "they will be copi~ in the 1980's and '90's."

"Catholic education is now solving its own problems, by changing from an autocratic to a democrati:c structure," he said.

"Now Catholic schools are involving all those who want to get involved, right down to parents."

One area where change is still needed, according to the educator is pastor involvement with schools.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Twenty-four per son s - diocesan priests, Brothers, Sisters, and laity-are attending as observers the general meeting of the U.S. bishops at the Marriott Twin Bridges Motor Hotel here.

The names were announced by the office of the general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic B~hops (NCCB).

The bishops voted in November, to open their meetings, apart from executive sessions, to observers and the press. The new policy was put into effect when the bishops met in Atlanta last April.

The executive committee of the NCCB and its Civil organization, the U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC), invited both the Conference of Major Superiors of Men and the Conference of Leaders of Congregations of Women Religious to choose three representatives each to attend the meetin~, and requested the advisory council of the NCCB and USCC to designate five of its lay members as observers.

The episcopal chairman of each of the 12 geographical regions of the NCCB/USCC were asked to request the priests' senates or councils of the dioceses in each region to designate a diocesan priest representative.

An invitation was also extended to the National Council of Catholic Laity which is represented by its president.

Adult Education Experts on the Vatican directory said that neither extreme faction would be satisfied by it because it places more emphasis on content than desired by the most liberal· educators, and at the same time gives more room for a pluralism of theological viewpoints and expressions than the extreme right would be happy with. , The U.S. Catholic Conference Departments of Education and of Religious Education-Confraternity of Christian Doctrine received numerous attacks for referring to the directory as a "manual" or "guide." A number of conservatives felt that the word "guide" was being used to undercut the authoritativeness of the document.

One of the principal values of the new catechetical directory, many experts said, was the stress that it placed on adult education. They pointed out that too many Catholics i~ this country consider their religious education finished by the e~d of high school.

Hong Kong Ecumenical Mariners' Club Popular With Seamen HONG KONG (NC) - The variety of services and facilities offered by the ecumenically staffed Sailors' Home and Missions to Seamen here attract an average of 22,000 seamen each month.

The club was established by the Anglican Church but three years ago the staff asked Bishop Francis Hsu of Hong Kong to assign a permanent, resident Catholic chaplain to the club.

The staff now consists of Anglican Father Geoffrey Shrives, the senior chaplain, two other Anglican priests and Immaculate Heart Missionary Father George Dopchie. , Located in an ll-story building in Kowloon (the section of this British crown colony on mainland China), the club offers accommodations for 157 overnight guests, including those in the married quarters, at rates about one-third the cost of the average hotel.

Schools Cooperate ' With Aid Law ST. LOUIS (NC) - Most public school districts in the St. Louis area are moving ahead with plans to lend textbooks to children in Catholic schools under provisions of Mi$souri's first nonpublic school aid law.

All but two of some 50 public school districts in the St. Louis archdiocese have adopted guidelines for the provision of books to children in Catholic schools according to an archdiocesan re: port.

The two districts which the school office says have yet to take steps to lend books to Catholic school students are Ladue Public School District and the Valley Park, Public School District, both in St. Louis County.

The Ladue District, along with the St. Louis City Board of Education, were defendants in the court challenge to the law. The constitutionality of the law' was upheld by a county Circuit Court Judge Orville H. Richardson in October. Judge Richardson also dismissed the Ladue school board's claim the law is too vague to be administered.

Priest Sees Value In 'Superstitions' SAN ANTONIO (NC) - The "superstitions" of Spanishspeaking Catholics should be looked on as "seeds of the Word of God," a Brazilian theologian said here.

"Large numbers of Spanishspeaking Catholics in the United States cling to beliefs in mysteries and -spirits that belong to an earlier age," Father Buenaventura Kloppenburg told a workshop at the Mexican American Cultural Center.

Father Kloppenburg, a consultor to the Vatican Theological Commission, said that such superstitions arise from ordinary concerns about health, the necessities of life, and the family and he compared them to the practices of primitive religions.

L ike missionaries abroad, clergymen in the United Sta'tes should look on these practices as "seeds of the Word of God" and build, on them, rather than attempt to destroy them, the theologion said.

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick

One of the great joys of my life is definitely not shopping, esped~lly Christmas shopping. Last ~eekend ~aril~n suddenly got the bright idea that bygomg shoppmg In early November we would get a jump on the busy month of December by doing our In the Kitchen gift-buying ~arly this y~ar.

the perfect gifts for the people on our list. Needless to say, after about three hburs of going from store to store I while I spent my time in bo~k stores, record shops, browsibg in men's clothing shops, etc., we ended up buying one gift wrich she will probably regret having bought by Thanksgiving. : This was all done in Boston, and as much as I like Boston, there are better .ways to spend time there than walking through stores, all of which seem to have the same buyer and stock an endless variety of identical gimmicks.

InstinCt

I have long since given up on trying to get Marilyn to do her shopping by. mail. This would seem to be the perfect answer to Christmas shopping but it goes against all womanly :instincts.

There is something of the hunter in women; they thrive upon setting out on: safaris burdened with only their shopping lists and a fresh Christmas Club check burning Ii hole' in their pock.et books.:, We aU yearn for the fame which comes' from making a great contribution to society by promulgating a solution to one of society's ,ills, and I have chosen the ar~a ,of the shopping spree for stu<;Jy. This may seem minor in our troubled age, but just imagine the number of weekends which could be salvaged by the unhappy husbands who are dragged to malls and shopping areas all over the country if one man could come up with a shopping retardant. The l'eriousness of this mar-ital sickness can be witnessed at lany shopping center; just look at the hangdog . air of the men you see standing outside stores waiting for their wives to decide to give up the safari and go home where they belong; note: the anxious looks made of one part boredom and three parts worry over what their wives are spencting. The solution w.illnot be easy, hut I call on my fellow men to help me.

At the center of the Synod's preoccupation with the sacredness of life was, inevitably and rightly, the problem of war. One could almost hear, in the halls and committee rooms, the echo of Pope Paul's agonized cry at the United Nations: "No more war!

Never again war!" Some of point has, no doubt, been mad~ the most notable interven- before. But in our inflationary times, ,it must be made again., tio'ns by individual bishops When arms are built, money is

the systematic kiHing of his own kind. And, dearly, in the nuclear age, if war cannot be checked, there will be no more life, sacred or otherwise. This is the central issue of our time.

The Bishops' positive suggestions for banishing the risk of war will be examined in a later column when we come to look at the closing sections of the Synod's document in which action programs are suggested. But at this point it is perhaps worthwhile recalling the dreadful pressures exercised on society not so much by war as by man's uncured expectation that war is finally the al'lbiter in all insoluble disputes.

Annual Hemorrhage Part of this weight is felt in the form of inflation. Over the last three or four years, the developed market societies of the Atlantic world have been more and more profoundly troubled by inflationary pressures. They have undermined 'the world monebary system. They have weakened internal economies. They are exported from one country to another. They are at the root of much of the malaise which underlay the recent annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

paid to suppliers of materials, to the work force, to the man'agers. This flow of purchasing power, when released in peaceful activities, is ultimately mopped, up again by the end produce of the farms and factories - food, household goods, automobilesall things that people want to use their money to buy.

But arms, the end product which has unleashed the streams of purchasing power, is in Iarge measure not available for final purchase. What housewife goes to the supermarket for a dozen, pre-packed sub-machine guns?

What father gives his son a tank for Christmas? The purchasing power created by arms pours out to secure other goods, forcing up their price and feeding the inflationary spiral.

Forgotten Lesson We have not properly measured the problem when we say "for this aircraft carrier, we could have built a new neighborhood." The money spent in building the carrier has also made everything connected with that possible neighborhood more ex.pensive in the future. This fact was perfectly understood during World War H. The whole apparatus of rationing and price control was introduced because there was no longer a safe relatJionship between the purchasing power ,produced by arms and the "goods available to absorb it.

But ,we seem to have forgotten the lesson.

It is indeed a remarkable fact that when inflation is strenuously deplored by leading figures in national or world finance, the central impact of arms spending is very rarely thrown into the equation. Yet it was above all the escalatJion of the Vietnam war ,that .Jet loose the continuing wave of worM inflation.

Ecumenism at Eucharis.tic Congress BALTIMORE (NC) - Simplicity and ecumenism will be two outstanding qualities of the 1973 International Congress, according to Cardinal Lawrence Shehan.

"This will be the first congress to have an ecumenical flavor," said Cardinal Shehan, president of the Vatican's Permanent Committee for the International Eucharistic Congress. "When they began preparing for it, the Australia bishops had an ecumenical service at St. Patrick's Ca- , thedral in Melbourne at which Dr. Eugene Carson Blake of the World Council of Churches waS a . speaker."

The cardinal said that Protestant churchmen are continuing to cooperate with Catholics in the planning for the congress, which will be held in Melbourne Feb. 18-25, and they will partici- ~ pate in some of its activities.

Cardinal Shehan will lead a pilgrimage from his Baltimore archdiocese to the congress and he will participate in the ceremonies as president of the committee.

The committee suggested Melbourne as the site of the 1973 congress and also suggested the theme: "Love one another as I have loved you." Detailed arrangements have been made by Archbishop James R. Knox of Melbourne and his fellow Australian bishops and "they have gone to extraordinary lengths" in preparing for the celebration, Cardinal Shehan said.

Stress Social Issues The ecumenical aspects of the congress represent a great change from earlier days when Protestants tended to view Eucharistic Congress as a prime example of Catholic triumphalism.

"The very fact that it does have this ecumenical aspect indicates a certain rapprochement," Cardinal Shehan said. "It

indicates an increased understanding of what the Eucharist means-while realizing at the same time that this is one point where we are most. sharply divided."

Like other -recent International Eucharistic Congresses, the cardinal said that the Melbourne congress will have less pageantry and greater emphasis on social issues than had earlier congresses.

"This is an indication of the change of the character of the congresses themselves," said Cardinal Shehan, who had attended three congresses-in Munich in 1960, Bombay in 1964 and Bogota in 1968-as a member of the Vatican committee.

Needs of the Poor "In Munich great emphasis was placed on the existence of the concentration camps," he said, "and one day was devoted to a service at Dachau. That showed that even then the congress had a tendency to get away from triumphalism.

"It was even more so at Bombay. With the evidence of poverty so great, the emphasis was

on visiting the poor and recognizing the need of going out to the poor. This was demonstrated by the Pope's trips."

Pope Paul VI also attended the Eucharistic Congress in Bogota where, the cardinal said, "the needs of the poor were again stressed."

"Australia. seems to be a rapidly developing nation," Cardinal Shehan said. "Nevertheless the emphasis is again on people, the importance of family life and parish life."

Action This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.

Friendship Must B'e Real

Plight of Orphaned Girls English 'Novelists' Theme

THE ANCHORThurs., Nov. 16, 1972

Friends

In their new books, two English novelists address themselves to the same theme: the plight of a very young girl orphaned and at the mercy of strangers. But very different is the theme's development by Rumer Godden in The Diddakoi (Viking, 625 Madison Ave., New York, military service. Her husband, is glad to be rid of her.

Taking over Annie for term properly applies to Kizzy selfish reasons, she changes the child's name to Anna and spins a fiction in place of ,the living person.

By Years pass, and eventually Anna marries Giles. In his own RT. REV. way, he is as unrealistic as his mother, and now Anna has to MSGR. adapt herself to another set of arbsurd expectations, wear JOHN S. another mask.

KENNEDY

Lovell, who is seven years old when we come upon her living with her, pipe-smoking greatgreat-grandmother ,in a caravan which wealthy Admiral Twiss allows them to keep in his orchard.

Kizzy is a wild little creature who is persecuted when she ven'tures into the local school. There is worse trouble in store for her when her great-great-grandmother dies, and other gypsies arrive to bury the ancient and steal her few possessions. They • all reject K,izzy.

The admiral gives' her a temporary home, but the village would consider it scandalous for her to stay permanently in his all-male establishment. And so she moves most unwillingly, to the cottage of a spinster, Cynthia Brooke.

This lady's kindness is repulsed by the willful child, and it takes a long time to change Kizzy. When finally she is tamed, there occurs a catastrophe, followed (you were sure of this) by a happy ending, an excessively if not incredibly happy ending.

Sugary Sentimentality Ther'e are charm and color in this slender narrative, as well as some character-drawing which bites beneath the surface, but almost always one is aware of the author's manipulation of people and action.

Miss Godden is very good in depicting Kizzy's contentment with a gypsy existence, her suffer.ing at the hands of villagers, and her ,campaign of resistance to Miss Brooke. But sugary sentimentality' takes over as the story approaches resolution.

Miss Bawden's orphan is Annie Gates, evacuated from bombed ,London ,in 1940, when she is four years old. Fatherless to begin with, she quickly becomes motherless, and stays on at the farm of the Owen family.

Farmer Owen treats her well, but when he dies, she ,is cruelly used

by Owen's son and heir.

Absurd Expectations She is rescued by Mrs. Crystal Golightly, a Londoner who, for the duration of the bombing is staying in the country with her mother. In her middle 30s, Crystal has an IS-year-old son, Giles, who ,is pleased to quit her for

Interesting Idea We get to see somethng of the authentic Anna only in the final portion of the book. She contrasts sharply with the apparent Annas who were creatures of other people's imagining and fashioning.

Miss Bawden has hit on a very interesting ,idea, but she has not war-ked it out successfully. The small Annie has some substance, but it disappears with her chronological growth, which means that for the greater part of ,the book Anna is so vague as to lose command of our attention. When, at last, a revelation is attempted, one no longer cares, and the supposed secret seems insignificant.

Miss Bawderi cannot wr,ite badly, but she has badly miscalculated this time.

Wild Justice In A Wild Justice (Coward McCann and Geoghegan, 200 Madison Ave., New York, N. Y. 10016 $5.95), Francis Clifford has produced a novel which has the kick of a mule., It is short, stark, taut, and, in its denouement, shattering.

The scene seems to be Dublin, and the time seems to be that of the brief, doomed rising against the British more than half a centry ago. Three IIrish guerrillas are holed up in the ruins of a hotel facing' a green held by the British. They are exhausted and one of them is desperately ill.

The British appear to have preva.iled.But the guerrillas have been ordered to hold their position at any cost, awaiting a promised counterattack. Will it ever come? Will it corrie in time to save these three?

Trust, Betrayal There are two men and a woman. One man, in charge, is Liam Gallagher, a teacher approaching middle age. The other ,is a sickly young drayman, Kenny Doyle. The woman, aged 20, is Clodagh ,Lacey, who has a veneer of toughness and cynicism because of bitter experience.

She is expert with a gun.

The craftily spun out story is concerned with trust, betrayal, and retribution. The publisher's blurb describes the work as a tragedy, and for once this muchmisapplied word is perfectly in order. Doyle is a minor figure.

The major characters are Gallagher and Clodagh, and their fate stems directly from what they arc.

If you tried even to say hello to everyone in the United States, one person after another, allowing one second per person, working at it night and day, you ,couldn't finish in less than seven years!

Criticizes Swedish Family Law Report STOCKHOLM (NC) - American-born Bishop John E. Taylor of Stockholm has sharply criticized the report of the Swedish government's family law commission, which'recommended making divorces easier to obtain.

In a 3,500-word statement to the Swedish minister of justice Bishop Taylor said the report overemphasized the individual right to freedom and showed no interest in promoting family stability. , He said that the report excluded all positive measures to strengthen family stability. Financial assistance is given to facilitate divorce, but riot to support marriages, he said.

Bishop Taylor asserted that "the report seeks to remove 'faithfulness and 'life-long duration from the concept of marriage. Many times in the report references are made to European judicial tradition, according to which a .marriage is constituted by the consent of both parties.

Remarkably, however, the fact that this consent precisely concerns a lifelong and faithfuf union is withheld from the reader of the report."

Cheerfulness A man used to vicissitudes is not easily dejected.

to whom we could conf,ide anything; from whom we would not hestitate to ask everything. If we are not that close to anyone person, there will always be somethiong hollow about our claims to love all men.

John wrote: "If you don't love your brother whom you see, how can you love God, whom you do not see?" It is also true that if you don't love any of the people around you, w,ith whom you have contacts day after day, how can you love all men everywhere, whom yOIl never do see and never have to live with?

Church Bells End ,Theft Attempt VIENNA (NC)-The toIling of church bells in mid-morning one day in late October spelled the end of the criminal careers for a gang of Austrian art thieves.

Many old treasures mainly medieval hand-carved and handpainted statues of, saints - art works popular with collectors in all parts of the world - have been stolen recently from churches in the Tyrol and Salzburg regions. To prevent such thefts Karl Hager, 53, sexton of St. Anna's Church in Frankenburg, dnvented a device to protect the valuable statues in his church.

Adopting the basic idea of a burglar alarm, he ran an almost invisible electric wire around the altar and the statues of the saints and connected it with electric apparatus controlling the tolHng of the church bells. Whoever disturbed the alarm would thereby set the bells in the church tower ringing.

The device had not been installed more than 10 days when the trap closed on Sibelius Fladnitzel', 46, a Vienna art dealer who thought it was a mere coincidence that the bell should start ringing as he ,left the church with a four-centuries-old statue of St. Florian wrapped in a parcel and concealed beneath his, overcoat, Sexton Hager, who was busy in the rectory when the bells started to toll, rushed out in time to see Fladnitzer climb into the car of his accomplice Herbert Turner, 33, and to memorize the car's registration number. Before the car could leave the town it was stopped by the police who recovered the statue and arrested the two men.

Continued from Page Sixteen she could trust him. He let her be herself, and she slowly became more fully herself with him.

His respect for her, even though she never spoke, freed her to speak. His respect for her when she began speaking to him was that he decided not to tell "the other ~ids" what had happened.

It was a secret precious to him and her. They were friends.

Friendship is one of the richest experiences in life. Philosophers in ancient Greece and Rome wrote of friendship as the greatest good a human could, enjoy on this earth. Poets of all ages have sung about the joys, the pleasures, the demands of true friendship.

The wise sage of the Old Testament, Sirach, also called Ecclesiasticus, states that "a faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; • he who finds one finds a treasure. A faithful friend ,is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth. A faithful friend is a life saving remedy" (Sir: 6:1416).

If we have experienced true friendship, we know how true Sirach's evaluation is. We recognize, too, how typical of friendship is the exper,ience of Kevin and Lisa. The respectful trust and sharing that are part of human friendship are creative, freeing. In the presence of a friend we are more truly ourselves, we are free to grow and blossom. In a real and symbolic ,way we are enabled to speak through a friend's love.

Friendship of Christ The experience of friendship opens us to understand the surprising words of Jesus to us: "You are my friends ... I call you friends" (John 15:14-15).

It can help us recognize that he really enjoys being with us, accepting us even though we may be all tied up inside and seemingly unable to respond. He trusts us, lets us be, stays with us-bescause he is our friend.

His fr-iendship for us can open us, can free us to grow, enable us to become more fully ourselves. We can become loveable because he loves us. Christians speak of this as "grace."

His friendship can be experienced in the Eucharist as we receive Holy Communion. It may be felt dn quiet moments before the Blessed Sacrament. But it may also be felt through the understanding, trust, and affection of our friends. The freeing power of human friendship is one of the ways Jesus' friendship touches us. His friendship reached Lisa through Kevin.

One of the tasks of the religious educator is' to enable people in and through the experience of friendship to recognize the reality of J'esus' friendship.

-If Michael Novak had written those words Gary Wills would have lectured him on fomenting the politics of hatred and Sidney Callahan would have lectured him on the dangers of ethnic divisiveness.

Any noncCatholic liberal sees worth in both the parochial schools and in the Catholic tradition, while the Catholic liberals do all in their power to ridicule and destroy both.

No doubt, there will be in the future additional confrontations, and acute ones, between Black Catholics and establishment personnel on various matters. But this highly .professional quarterly in .effect says that the slow process of adapting a Roman liturgy to the unique culture of Blacks liv'ing in the United States is under way. An advertisement reads:. , "The beginnning of a new tradition in Worship ... an adventurous search for the elements of a worship that is, at once, authentically Afro-American and authentically Catholic."

. Simple Alternative

-.

An interesting counterpoint to Mr. Deedy is the article in a recent issue of The New Republic, "Liberating Ourselves' from Deadly Dogma: Aid to Parochial Schools," by Adam Walinsky. · The latter could scarcely be defined as a conservative; quite the ·contrary, he is; one of the most · outspoken members of the New York liberal left intelligentia.

But he seems to think that the closing of parpchial schools is unfortunate. Incredibly enough, he argues tha't there is more racial integration in parochial schools than in'public schools or private schools and, unlike Catholic commentators like Mr. Deedy, he acknowledges the fact that the Catholic inner schools "do more teaching of poor children than do most central city public schools i systems. Blacks and Puerto Ricans are a~ong the strongest supporters."

As a matter of fact, the work of the inner. city parochial schools in providing educational alternatives for the blacks whp live in such neighborhoods is one of the most impressive works of Christianity being performed in the whole United States. But since the nuns who teach in these schools and the priests. who scrape together the f}lnds to support them are not going to jail for their e(forts,' Mr. Deedy and his ilk can libe free to ignore them.

Badge ?f Honor But it is not only the black parents with whom Mr. Walinsky sympathizes. "The parents of parochial school children, 75 per cent of whom have dncomes under $10,000 a year, are among those who most sharply feel themselves ignored and scorned be every element of government policy over the last decade: poverty programs, job programs, edcation programs, wars, taxes; all for the benefit of others, all with these people paying much of the cost.

"Of course they share these discontents with other citizens.

Bt it is also tru~ that these parents are 110t only taxpayers and citizens, they are also Catholic and ethnic, Poles and Italians and Irish. That ·is something that many of them are now trying to establish as an element of worth,

Walinsky's alternative' to direct federal aid to education ·is ingenious and simple. "Every tax:payer would take a modest credit-$25 for each individual, $50 per couple for any charitable contribution now entitled to a tax deduction. In other words the first $50 of the current ac.cepted tax deduction would be turned in~o a dollar for dollar su'!)traction from the taxpayer's tax bill ... the schools and churches would conduct gener'al fund raising drives among all those ·interested in the survival of parochial schools: 'parent~; of' course, but also alumni, grandparents and uncles, and p'arishioners at large."

Mr. Walinsky observes that such a simple plan would assure the survival of parochial schools and would certainly be constitutional. Liberal support for such a plan, he says, would come from the "recognition" that if you want someone to sign on your agenda, you'd' better include an item or two on his.'

One can be permitted to be skeptical whether such a plan has a ghost of a chance. Indeed, even if it did get through Congress, one suspects that the nativists who sit on he Supreme Court' would f,ind some way to strike it down. Walinsky leaves no doubt as to the 1'eason why: "All during the years. of liberal reform, there has not been one serious manifestation of liberal concern, not a single item on the liberal agenda that related to working class people, particu. larly Catholics, in anything' but the most general way. And often compounding the problem, l,ike twisting a ,broken bone into the flesh, has been an implicit liberal self-righteousness that treats defeats of, Catholic interests as triumphs over the devil."

Church of the 70's The liturgies. at St. Francis de Sales in New Orleans, ~t St. " Francis Xavier in Baltimore, at St. Thomas in Harlem offer actual situations in which these abstract ideals have been translated ·into successful practice.

We might, in my judgment, say that the Catholic Church of .the 70's in this c~untry can be compared to a person who has just returned from radical sur· gery in the hospital.

SCHOOLBOY SPORTS IN THE DIOCESE

By PETER 1. BARTEK Norton Hlah Coach

Schoolboy Football Spotlight On Diocesan Rivals Saturday Diocesan arch rivals Bishop Stang High of Dartmouth and Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro will have the spotlight to themselves this Saturday when they square off in their traditional season's finale in the Jewelry City. No title will be at stake this Coach George Milot's aggregatime around, but the contest should prove interesting as tion will enter this week's fray both clubs attempt to re- with a 5-3 overall record. The bound from last week's losses and conclude the 1972 scholastic football season on a winning note. All other teams are scheduled to wrap up their seasonThanksgiving morning.

Stang, which has not enjoyed . too much success in the Bristol County League over the past few football campaigns, finished second in the Southeastern Massachusetts Conference Division II race. The Spartans, who led the circuit most of the Fall, were trounced by Fairhaven last Saturday 41-14 in the championship game.

Dartmouth Parochials lost to Dartmouth in a non-league game, to Fairhaven and to Wareham in an interdivisional contest.

On the other hand, Coach Paul O'Boy's Feehan. Shamrocks, a Bristol County power the past three years, have found the going tough in the new Conference's Division I bracket. Hit hard by injuries all during the campaign, the Shamrocks have been fielding a different starting lineup for virtu~lly every game.

Feehan is 2-5-1 on the season.

Coyle Has Most to Fear Thanksgiving Day In this game, as in all others slated for Thanksgiving, season records mean very little. Tradition seems to be the dominant factor. Stang must be considered the slight favorite, but if the Shamrocks have their way they will stage the first upset of area high school football's final week.

At this stage of the campaign, the team most concerned about a Turkey Day upset has to be Msgr. Coyle-Bishop Cassidy High of Taunton. The Warriors narrowly edged underdog Somerset last Saturday 7-6 to assure·themselves of, at least, a tie for Conference Division I honors.

However, Coach Paul Therrien's charges must' tie or beat crosstown rival Taunton Thanksgiving morning to win the championship outright. Unbeaten in their six Conference games, the Warriors hold a half game lead over Dartmouth.

There is no question that Coyle should defeat Taunton. The

Tigers are 1-4-1 in the loop and, on paper, no match for the division leaders. But, strange things happen when Coyle and Taunton collide.

While Coyle attempts to wrap up the title, second place Dartmouth will be engaged in a nonleague encounter with traditional Thanksgiving opponent Fairhaven. Th,is should prove to be one of the most fiercely contested holiday clashe~ Coach Kevin Cadieux will lead his Blue Devils into the fray with the Division II title safely in hand. However, a victory over Dartmouth is the prize cherished by all Fairhavenites.

DartIl}outh, knowing it can do nothing about the outcome of the Division I championship race, is concentrating all its efforts on Fairhaven. While the Indians would like to have won the pennant, they will now be content to topple the Big Blue.

Policy Proposed for Philadelphia Schools

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Pastors should have the authority to dismiss a student. from a Catholic high school for "gross neglect of Sunday Mass" or "for total lack of cooperation of the family with the parish."

This policy was proposed by a board of consultors at a meeting of Philadelphia archdiocesan pastors.

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Welsh distributed the proposal to the pastors and noted that the ddocesan consultors approved it in principle. He also solicited the pastors' recommendations and said the standard is scheduled to go into effect March I, North's Offensive Could Cau~e Nightmares 1973.

Prelate. Opposes Chavez's Farm Workers Union SALINAS (NC) - In a letter sent to priests across the country, the vicar general of the Monterey Diocese, has supported a publication that accuses Cesa( Chavez's United Farm Workers Union ~f "demanding a monopoly in agriculture unionization and, with it, control of the nation's food supply."

The letter written by Msgr.

Thomas J. Earley has been sent priests . alCin~ with copies of the publication, entitled "The Lettuce Story."

The publications says that lettuce workers in California could earn more than $10,000 a year.

"Compare this with the claim that the 'poor' lettuce worker earns 'only $1,600 to $2,400 per year,''' the' two-page document stated. _ In his letter: Msgr. Earley said, "I personally believe 'The Lettuce Story' is an accurate and a honest evaluation of the facts which unfortunately have too long been misrepresented to the publi? at large,',' . 'Poorly Informed Churchmen' The letter also' said that the .Iettuce growers and workers "have suffered in their pursuit and right to self-determination" in resolving unionization problems because "of involved but poorly informed churchmen," He told NC News Service that "The Lettuce. Story" had been paid for by "those who are growing, those who are working, those who 'are' Catholics and those who are' not," "I wanted to do it (write the cover letter) myself," Msgr.

Earley said.

Msgr. Earley's letter and the publication immediately were criticized by Msgr. George G. Higgins, research secretary for the U.S. Catholic Conference who has been active in mediating disputes over unionization of farm workers for the past several years.

Msgr. Higgins, in a letter to Msgr. Earley, charged the California chltrchman with undermining the mediation efforts by the California bishops and himself by aligning himself with the large growers' organization, the Farm Bureau Federation. "$10,000 a Year" The first page of "The Lettuce Story" gives a short history of the conflict between the Teamsters and United Farm Workers Union, a unit of the AFL-CIO, in organizing the lettuce workers.

- Last year the two groups agreed to a pact permitting the UFWU to Unionize workers formerly organized by the Teamsters..

But the growers insisted the .

Teamsters contracts are the only ones that are valid, leading to the UFWU's lettuce boycott.

This has led to a boycott of iceberg lettuce by the United Farm Workers, and the publication says the boycott indicates _ that the union "refuses to recognize any farm labor contracts other than its own. It is demanding a monopoly in agriculture, :unionization and, with it, control of the nation's food supply," In addition, the publication says lettuce workers earn an average of $6.44 per hour, $213.80 per week, and "a lettuce harvest worker who" takes advant!1ge of the work offered him can earn over $10,000 a year,"
