....._\ Says EncyclicalRequires Assen~

NEWARK (NC)-For the aver·age Catholic, the issuance ofPope Paul's encyclical on birthcontrol called for assent and anend to argumentation over therights of conscience, ArchbishopThomas A. Boland of Newarl<said here.

Speaking at a meeting of theArchdiocesan Council of CatholicWomen, Archbishop Boland saidthat even though study of theissue is still open to theologians,conscience must be viewed asproviding an objective norm"formed according to the Gos­pels and the rules of the Church."

He referred to recent state­ments _on conscience made byPope Paul and said "there is noquestion about the obligation ofconscience in connection withthe Holy FatJ:ler's encyclical onbirth control."

Archbishop Boland asked thew~men to be on the alert inregard to current legislative de­bate over abortion reform andtax reform in New Jersey. I

Noting that 26 states are cur­rently considering mitigatingabortion laws, the archbishopsaid "there is no reason wecould give thatkvould legitimatizea~ortion, because it is againstthe natural and divine law."

Liberalization of the law, hesaid, could lead to other excesses,notably a move to make eutha­nasia legal.

The statement continued thatthe professors' views were "re­sponsible theological' dissent* * * reasonably supported as atenable scholarly position"; thatthe professors made it plain thatit was their personal Yiews andnot that of the University.

It also stated that "the contentand style of the statement arewell within the bounds of aca­demic propriety"; that "neitherthe timing, the content nor themeans of securing. circulationand concurrence of colleaguesare to be regarded as extraordi­nary or improper in the light ofcurrent academic practices;"and that the statement does notconflict with the Profession ofFaith taken. by the professors.

The inquiry board furthercharged that "the actions of thetrustees * * * in threatening sus­pension of subject professorsand in giving public circulationto this threat, may have serious­ly damaged the academic stand­ing of the professors, have cer­tainly impaired the reputation ofthe academic departments con­cerned 'and, in some circles' havetarnished the reputation of theuniversity."

The trustees answered, byunanimously formulating fourresolutions: .

1. To officially receive thefaculty inquiry report whichhas been in preparation for thepast seven months for "study,evaluation and response".

a full day's schedule of class­room instruction, five days aweek. There are now five clustersmade up of six to eight receivingschools.

Instruction takes in all areasof the usual school curriculum aswell as _classes on Black studies,music, art, story telling and cur­rent events.

Miss Nolan said the TV cur­riculum is developed duringSummer training and planningsessions. Each cluster, she ex­plained, has a steering committeemade up of representatives fromthe participating public and Cath­olic schools.

Main ConflictThere are about 100 teachers

involved in the actual TV pro­duction, said Miss Nolan, in­cluding 20 lay and Religiousteachers from Catholic schools.

TV courses are taught on vid­eotape and are: shown through­out the school year on two sepa- .rate channels used for receptionin schools. Additional coursesare taped during the school year.

The main conflict in the closed­circuit programming for Catho­lic schools, she said, is the timescheduling of c~rtain courses,since Catholic school classesdon't always coincide' with thesame time and length of publicschool classes..

To produce the programs, thepublic school has hired 11 TVengineers, uses five teachers asproducer-directors, five teachercoordinators, and five teachers asgraphic artists for visuals.

In addition, there \are 10telt.cQer~i.des .for ,Qperating' cam·eras' im'd five' sch"ool .clerks' tohandl,e ,nece~.sa.ry~ si~,rical,. ~Qrk.All personnel are. distributedevenly . thoughout' the 'controlcenters of the five clusters. '

CHICAGO (NC)-The fate oftax money is a source of curi­osty, irritation and puzzlementto many Americans.

An opportunity to see one waytax money is fruitfully spent isavailable in certain public andCatholic elementary schools ofChicago. The vehicle is closedcircuit TV instruction.

The Chicago public school sys­tem qeveloped classroom T Vinstruction in 1960, but onlysince 1966 has the program beenfederally funded through Title Iof the Elementary and SecondaryEducation Act.

There are now some 24,000students in 40 schools, all in ur­ban poverty areas, participatingin the program. Its purpose isto raise the general educationallevel of youngsters from disad·vantaged backgrounds.

Some 4,000 of the children inthe program are from 15 Cath­olic schools.

They are able to take part be·cause of Title One's provisionthat the federal funds involvedbe used to meet the needs of dis­advantaged children, regardless

.of the type of school they at­tend. .

LANSING (NC) - Michigan'sEducaid Bill, which provides forstate financial assistance for theeducation of children attendingMichigan's nearly 1,000 non-pub­lic schools, jumped its firsthurdle when it was approved bythe House Education Committee.

The bill continues to gain sup­port. Senate Majority LeaderEmil Lockwood said he favorsEducaid. Expressing concurrencewith Michigan State Chamber ofCommerce endorsement of thebill, Lockwood said Educaidcould be financed with an in­crease in the cigarette tax or pos­sibly an increase in the state in­come tax.

BURLINGTON (NC) - BishopRobert F. Joyce of Burlingtonhas hinted he may retire in 1971or sooner.

The 73-year-old prelate is twoyears short of the Vatican­recommended retirement age.He will be 75 in 1971.

Bishop Joyce indicated a changein the Burlington bishopric in aletter he sent to diocesan priestsconcerning salary increases forthem. He wrote:

"A diocesan synod is due in1971 and a new bishop by then,if not before. I believe that is amore opportune time for a rad­ical change, if it is deemed ad~

visable."

nearing maturation, that areready for the harvest, wherethere are lacking and are soneeded, priests, missionaries,nuns of contemplation and ofapostolate."

Pope Paul said "the youth oftoday is perhaps better adaptedand disposed to receive this im­ponderable call, because youngpeople are thirsting the more forwhat is absolute, for generosityand authenticity."

"The youth of today," headded, "indeed the great major­ity, do not want words, but facts;they want to make payment inperson, they want to build anew world."

The \Pope concluded with hisapostolic blessing.

Fr. Foister reported on the re­sults of his committee work thusfar, Le. his study of the Person­nel Board question. His reportwas not encouraging, relative tothe'responses evidenced thus far.He plans further extensive con­tacts among the clergy.

The Committee on Parish Re­newal promises to study ques­tions concerning the ParishCouncil, Liturgy (e.g. funeralMasses, etc.) Sacraments (e.g.age for Confirmation), etc. But itwill not have any substantivereport until next Fall.

Msgr. Boyd reported that in­surance policies for pension andretirement programs for clergyand lay employees of the Dio­cese will be available for Senatestudy and action by next month.

Msgr. Hamel indicated thatplans are being' discussed withreference to the Priests' StudyDays this Autumn. The maintheme will emphasize: The Fam­ily. He also reported that hiscommittee . recommended, sub­ject to the Bishop's aproval, thatpriests be given the option tomake their yearly retreat ineither a Diocesan sponsored re­treat or one of their own.

Near the close of his message,which he said "is nothing morethan a conversation and a dia­logue," the Pope addressed ,him­self "to these young hearts: toyou, young people who, todaymore than ever, can and musthear the voice of Christ whocalls, pointing out to you theregions of the world that are

ing tQ pledge themselves for theholy cause.

"Pursue God's call in thehearts of the adolescents, but dogive a most careful stimulus,also, to the cultivation of voca­tions which the Holy Spirit gives

'rise to, today more than everbefore, in young people who arealready adult and who studyand work."

The Pope appealed to priests"as the first and irreplaceablecollaborators of the bishops inthis great mission."

He turned then "to families,to Christian spouses," and re­peated to them the words ofPope Pius XII: "What will youdo, in the event the Divine Mas­ter asks you for God's share, inother words for one or the otherof your sons or daughters whomHe may have' designed Himselfto give to you, ,in order to formHis priest, His Religious ornun?"

The April meeting of the FallRiver Senate of Priests heard adetailed report on the Conven­tion of the National Federationof Priests' Councils held in NewOrleans in March. , .

Rev. Edward Oliveira andRev. Peter Mullen, representa­tives to the convention from theDiocese of Fall River gave thereports.

Fr. Oliveira gave a comprehen­sive report of the convention sothat members of the Senate wouldhave a broad spectrum of theevents and decisions that tran­spired. He was favorably im­pressed by the spirit of the del­egates and the seriousness oftheir approach to the many andvaried topics discussed. He per­sonally observed that too manyresolutions were passed and con­sequently, he questioned the de­gree of their impact and effec­tiveness.

Fr. Mullen was critical of presscoverage. He stated that 'grossinaccuracies and exaggerationswere printed in the secular press(e.g. birth control was publicizedbut was not even discussed bythe convention). He lamentedpress sensationalism and saw areal need for' individual senatesto communicate an accurate ac­count of the proc.eedings to theirpriests.

The Senate postponed until

The Pope said it is also "a.problem of the entire Christiancommunity which, being aliveand active in the parishes and inthe various organizations, mustfulfill the duty to increase priest­ly vocations."

It is a problem "of all society,"the Pope continued. He notedthat it is in society that youthgrows and is formed.

But he added that it is "alsoand principally" a problem ofthe truly Christian family.

"So we address ourself oncemore to all the grea.t Catholicfamily to repeat our. invitationwhich is inspired by the veryprayer of Jesus to' the Father,"the Pontiff said.

Addressing the bishops of theChurch, Pope Paul urged:

Vermonters SeekVoic·e in ChoiceOf Hierarchy

BURLINGTON (NC)Vermonters Organized for aChoice in the Episcopacy isbeing formed here to studythe process by which Bishops arechosen, with an eye to widerparticipation on the part of thewhole Church community in theirselection.

A representative group of bothlaymen and clergy, is seeking"the creation of a fuller aware­ness within the Roman CatholicChurch of the responsibility ofthe individual Christian, the ex­tent of his authority and thegravity of his ministry by intro­ducing him more directly in theprocess by which bishops arechosen."

A Burlington priest, who hasbeen involved in the formationof VOCE, believes the main func­tion of the group is "education­al."

"I see the group principally asa catalyst, a stimulant to getpeople to think about the processof selecting a Bishop, to educatethem to this process," he said.Membership is open to all Cath­olics.

Urge Assistancefor All Pupils

MIAMI (NC)' - Rep. ClaudePepper of Florida told a Knightsof Columbus meeting here thatthere must be a means of"breaking down the barriers thathave existed in the past" to fed­eral and state aid for all childrenregardless of what schools theyattend.

"As far as I am concernsd,"Pepper said, "except for theteaching of religion or the prac­tice thereof, I favor public sup-'port for the education and careof all children, regardless of race,color or creed,"

Pepper added that he alwayshas supported all aid to educa­tion programs which do not vio­late the principle of separation ofchurch and state.

He addressed more than 500members of the K. of C. andhteir wives at a K. of C. Found­er's Day dinner. Also presentwas Archbishop Coleman F. Car­roll of Miami, who warned thatgovernment must take an inter­est in the education and careof all children.

Since parents have a God­given right to educate their chil­dren in schools of their choice,Archbishop Carroll said, all chil­dren are entitled to the same as­sistance from government inareas not dealing directly withreligion, regardless of whatschools they attend.

The cost of educating all chil­dren e:ventually will have to beborne by state and federal gov­ernments, the archbishop con­tended, since this is the respon­sibility of government.

mended establishment of .a coor­dinating coinmitteebefore theprogram begins in the school.This committee should include"the pastor or his delegate, theprincipal and. one of the teach­ers and at least two officers ofthe parents' association.

This committee would:Present the program to par­

Study, select and evaluate ed­ucational materials for the pro­gram.

The guidelines ,also suggestthat "in the months prior to im­plementing the program in theschools, a special series of meet­ings should be held to acquaint.parents with more precise as­pects of' the program and toelicit their support and cooper­ation at home."

Foresee $3 MillionHigh School Deficit

NEWARK (NC) - A deficit ofabout $3 million in the operationof the Newark archdiocesan re­gional high school system is be­ing projected for the 1969-70school year by school officials.

This was revealed in the wakeof an agreement on salaries andtenure with the Association ofRegional Secondary SchoolTeachers.

The settlement, it was said,will cost the archdiocese about$500,000. Currently, school offi­cials said, the 11 schools in theregional system are operating ata deficit of $2.3 million a year.

However, two more schoolswill be added to the regionalsystem next Fall, being convert­ed from parish high schools. Theexpected losses there, coupledwith the $500,000 agreementwith the teachers, will push thedeficit up around the $3 millionlevel.

LANSING (NC) - Lt. Gen.Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Ser­vice director, said here consci­entious objectors, who believethey got a break from a FederalCourt decision striking downparts of the draft law, could bebadly mistaken.

"Some people interpret thisdecision as meaning everyoneclaiming C.O. classification couldbe out of the draft," Hersheytold a news conference.

Prelate StressesRelig'ion NeedIn Education

LONDON (NC) - JohnCardinal Heenan of West­minister said that with pub­lic morality on the wane theneed for religion in schools isgreater than ever.

"Many honest citizens do notsee why schools should cater forthe children of Christians anymore than for the children ofvegetarians, nudists or human­ists," the cardinal said in an ar­ticle in the Times EducationalSupplement, published by theTimes, national newspaper.

"It is significant that the bat­tle against abortion was foughtin Parliament mainly by mem­bers who had religious convic­tions. The next battle predictedat the time of the abortion de­bate will be over euthanasia. Itis likely that those who receivedreligious instruction in schoolswill once again come forward todefend the sanctity of human lifeagainst a pagan philosophy."

The overwhelming majorityof Catholic parents want to pre­serve Catholic schools within thenational system, he added. "Thisis impressive because despitegenerous grants, the building ofschools and training colleges(for teachers) is by far the great­est of the financial burdens rest­ing on parishes. Why do theseparents so insistently demandCatholic schools for their chil­dren?

Extension of Home"The chief reason is that Cath­

olics tend to be traditionalistsand still regard the teacher asbeing in loco parentis. Theschool is thought of as an ex­tension of the home where edu­cation begins.

"All good parents, believersand non-believers, want what isbest for their children. That Ithink is why even the irreligioususually like their children tolearn about God. Their attitudeto religion is often expressed inthis way: 'I don't want to go tochurch myself but I like to seethe children go,' They regardreligion as a good thing and wanttheir children to have it,"

The humanists, the cardinalsaid, object not to religious edu­cation but to compulsory reli­gious instruction: "Compulsoryis another of those words whichtend to be emotive in religiouscontext," he added. "It is, of.course, a quibble to contend thatin the school syllabus religiousinstruction alone is a compulsorysubject. In primary schools al­most every subject is in factcompulsory. The Department ofEducation and Science would nottolerate a school in which thethree R's (reading-writing-arith­metic) were optional."

Warn~' Conege~

Against FiringEx-Priests, Nuns

DETROIT (NC)-A Jesuitlegal expert warned herethat firing former priests andnuns from positions at Cath­olic colleges and universitiescould harm the church-relatedcolleges efforts to secure federalassistance funds.

Father Charles Whelan, S.J"of Fordham University, said theopponents of aid to church-re­lated institutions may try to -f:ite .suc~ instances as evidence thatthe institutions insist on specialreligious requirements from theirfaculties and that such ~'religiOus

discrimination" disqualifies themfrom public funds.

Father Whelan's observationswere made' duririg a session ofthe 66th annual convention ofthe National Catholic Education­al Association here.

He advised the Catholic collegeand university administrators inthe audience against exemptingnon-Catholic students from reoIigion courses. Such exemptionsmight be interpreted as evidencethat the courses are not so muchacademic in nature 'as vehiclesfor propagating the Catholicfaith, he said.

Connecticut CasesFather Whelan noted that dis­

positions are scheduled to beginin a case involving four Catho­lic colleges in Connecticut. Theplaintiffs in the case are a groupof Connecticut residents who

. claim the church-related institu­tions should be denied grantsobtained under the Higher Edu­cation Facilities Act.

He said counsel for the plain·tiffs is eXPl:cted to c1ailJl, eithertliat. the colleges involved propa­gate the Catholic religion or thatthey discriminate in regard to fa­culties or students.

Famed trial lawyer EdwardBennett WilIiams will representthe Catholic colleges, with Fa­ther Whelan and other lawyersassisting him, The case is ex­pected to go the Supreme Court

,by Summer or early fall.Father Whelan asked his audio

ence to provide him with in­formation on how widespread thepractice of dismissing formerpriests and Sisters from CatholiccoIleges has become, indicatingthe data might be useful informa­tion for the defense should theplaintiffs take the approach of"religious discrimination."

It Works

The Holy Father has asked the bishops of the worldto speak out on the positive values involvedjn voluntary,celibacy - in the decision made by mat\-Ife n,el} to fore­go thdrown families so that in this ascetic context theymight the better be members of all families and give toall men the day-by-day proof of a living commitmentto God and to the Church and to the service of men.

At a meeting of the National Federation of PriestsCouncils in New Orleans a few weeks ago, PresidentFather Patrick O'Malley' also spoke on the positive as­pects of celibacy. It is unfortunate that his remarks tothe meeting Qjd not receive the publicity given so oftento his remarks in press interviews.

Just recently almost nineteen hundred priests inWest Germany issued a statement on the vallie of priest­ly celibacy but this was largely ignored by most of thepress, Catholic and secular.

It could well be that Churchmen have not present­ed a good case for celibacy in the priesthood. They havenot stressed the ascetic dimension which is surely a greatand valid aspect of the matter.

Perhaps many will not understand, this spiritual side.But all must accept that such a sacrifice 'and such

a commitment prove the sincerity of 'the priestly life andthe unwavering devotion of the priest, whose vocationis not merely a function but a state in life, a witnessto Christ, a preaching of. the things of God by actionas well as in word.

An official of a fund-raising firm once commentedthat the way the annual Catholic Charities Appeal isconducted in the Fall River Diocese is all wrong exceptfor one fact - it works. He mentioned that many suchappeals try high-pressure tactics on a, relative few per­sons whom they have chosen ~s likely gift-givers. TheFall River diocesan Appeal contacts every person andshould not work as well - but it does.

He did not consider, of course, that this Appeal hasa difference thate.makes the difference - it involves everyperson with the 'needs of his neighbor. It speaks in thename of charity. It holds out as much benefit for thosewho give as for those who receive. It gives the opportu­nity to live out the words of Christ who said that helpto one's neighbor in need is aid given to Him.

It is all as simple and as profound as that.If people believe in the Gospels of Christ, they feel

the necessity of giving of what they have to help thosewho have even less. If people believe that Christ livesin them and in their neighbors, then the Christ in themmust reach out to the Christ in others.

The basis of the diocesan Catholic Charities Appealcould be an appeal to the exceptional value received for,each dollar giyen to the Appeal. It could be to the eco­nomic impact that ag~ncies helped by the Appeal makeon a community. It could be to the valuable sociologicalconcept that charity should not be merely a governmentalconcern but one of individuals.

It could be all these things. But, in fact, the basisfor the Appeal is simply Christ-like charity.

And it works. .

Urges One DoiIyMass in latin

THE ANCHOR-Thurs., April 17, 1969

NEW YORK (NC)-A requestthat the bishops of the countryconsider "having at least oneLatin Mass daily" in everychurch in the U.S. has been madeby the board of directors of UnaVoce in the United States, whichhas headquarters here.

, John A. McManemin is presi­! dent of the group dedicated to

the retention of Latin in theChurch liturgy. It was hoped therequest would be taken up atthe U.S. bishops' meeting inHouston.

In a letter to Coadjutor Arch­bishop Leo C. Byrne of St. Pauland Minneapolis, as chairman,and to other members of theBishops' Committee on the Litur­gy, Una Voce said four timesill the last 12 months Pope PaulVI "has called for continued useof Latin in the liturgy parallelwith the use of various vernac­ular languages."

The letter said "restrictions"on saying public Latin Massesexisting in many diocese are "ini­mical to the desires of a verylarge percentage of the Catholiclaity and clergy."

"We therefore strongly urgethat your committee recommendto the National Conference ofCatholic Bishops at 'your forth­coming meeting in Houston thatevery bishop in the United Statesinstitute a program 'of having atleast one Latin Mass daily inevery church in his diocese," theletter stated.

Cardinal O'Boyle then repeat­ed the prayer of Pope Paul VIon Palm Sunday, 1968: "That thesacrifice of Dr. Martin King maynot remain in vain but that'through it the souls of all maybe more widely opened to for­giveness and reconciliation andthat a deeper commitment topeace may overcome the presentconflicts and discrimination."

Lifts Restri~tions

On DominiclDInPARIS (NC)-Restrictions im­

posed on Dominican Father JeanCardonnel in January have beenlifted.

The restrictions were imposedafter the priest expressed certainrevolutionary ideas in Lentensermons last year. In one of thesermons Father Cardonnel saidthat a true Lent "would be ageneral strike that would blockthe mechanisms of the profit­seeking society." Several weekslater, a general strike took placethroughout France.

The priest has also claimedthat violence is ,admissible incertain unjust situations andthat the Church should renounceits material wealth.

Cardinal-designate ArchbishopFrancois Marty of Paris lifted hisban on Father Cardonnel speak­ing publicly in the Parish arch­diocese, but at the same timespecified that when the priestspeaks publicly he must do so inhis own name.

Salaries Problem"The heart of the problem is

teacher salaries," James Millerstated. He said the Catholic Con­ference of Ohio is aiming for a$1,200 per teacher supplementfrom the state legislature.

The NCEA research office es­timated here that the total cur­rent operating cost of the Cath­olinc elementary and secondaryschools of the United Statesthis year is $1.7 billion, or ap­proximately $340 for each of thefive million pupils enrolled.

The latest comparable per­pupil cost figure for publicschools is $625 per pupil.

The largest single factor inthe cost difference, NCEA said,is the contributed services of100,000 Religious teachers, esti­mated at half a billion dollars. Ifthis were added, the Catholicper pupil cost figure would riseto $440 yearly.

The fact that Catholic schoolpupils buy their own textbooksand supplies, which are providedfree in the public schools, alsokeeps the Catholic figure down.

A less expensive administra­tive superstructure, and thewillingness of lay teachers towork in the private sector forapproximately 90 to 95 per centof the public school scale areother major factors in the lowerCatholic school cost.

"In our little state we're noteven able to get bills reportedout of committee," Decourseysaid. The state of Kansas is only10 per cent Catholic and onlyeight per cent of the students inthe state are educated in Cath­olic schools, a vastly differentstory from largely urban diocesessuch as those located';n stateslike Connecticut and New York.

Virtually all participants atthe meeting agreed that existingauxiliary services provided bystates and even some federalbenefits accruing from the Ele­mentary and SecoQdary Educa­tion Act of 1965 have not comeclose to solving the financialproblems of the nonpublic schoolsector.

Former BenedictineMarries in Spain

BONN (NC) - Former AbbotAlkuin Heising of the SiegburgBenedictine monastery near herehas married a teacher in Seville,Spain.

Heising resigned as abbot ofthe German monastery in De­cember, 1968, in protest againstof what he called the authoritar­ianism in the Church.

The bride was identified asMaria Veit, a teacher at a Ger­man school in Seville.

Experts Express OptimismOn Nonpublic School Aid

DETROIT (NC)-Catholic legislative experts met hereto discuss "the money thing" and agreed there is agenerally favorable attitude throughout the country towardstate aid to nonpublic schools. They concurred In statingthat the focus on aid to thenonpublic schools is increas­ingly shifting from the fed­eral to the state level, thatthere is a growing awarenessamong the non-Catholic sector ofthe need to help parochial andother private schools, and thatCatholic school officials must bewilling to make a public account­ing of their financial records.

These were the chief themesemerging from a meeting of di­ocesan coordinators of govern­ment aid programs sponsoredhere by the Uni~ed States Catho­lic Conference (NSCC) Divisionof Elementary and SecondaryEducation. The meeting was heldin conjunction with the annualconvention of the NationalCatholic Educational Associa­tion.

Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin,USCC general secretary, in key­noting the NCEA convention,also called for a complete publicaccounting of Catholic schools.He said the Catholic people whosupport these schools, have ,aright to this information and thegeneral public also will expect itif they are to contribute to thenonpublic schools.

Lack Hard DataThere was praise and wide­

spread interest in Bishop Ber­nardin's suggestion here. Butseveral participants also said itwill be a difficult suggestion toimplement because many Cath­olic administrators lack harddata on the financial operationsof their school systems.

The NCEA is currently con­ducting a feasibility study ongathering Catholic school finan­cial data on a grant from theCarnegie Foundation.

Panelists at the diocesan co­ordinators meeting were Ray­mond A. Allen, Jr., administrativeaide for state and federallyfunded programs, archdioceseof Hartford; Vincent W. Decour­sey, executive director, KansasCatholic Conference; John L.Gaffney, director of education,Michigan Catholic Conference;Anthony Hiesberger, executivedirector, Missouri Catholic Con­ference; James J. Miller, directorof government programs, dioceseof Cleveland. Rep. J. Bob Trax­ler, a non-Catholic who is one ofMichigan's biggest boosters foraid to nonpublic schools, wasalso a panel member.

Chances for passage of majornonpublic school legislation inConnecticut and Michigan wererated generally favorable byAllen and Gaffney, althoughneither would make a flat predic­tion.

We have just sent a small order to one of the mailorder houses for two dwarf evergreens for the north sideof our house. We have a small strip of garden two feetwide and 30 feet long between the house and a brick walk.

This has always presenteda problem and we have de­cided to handle it by puttingin a garden of dwarf ever­greens and low growing azaleas.

These evergreens are not in­expensive but they are not ascostly as the larger greens. Theterm dwarf may be misleadingbecause these small greens maygrow to larger sizes, but on thewhole they are much smallerthan the common species.

In order to keep them small(no more than two feet high),they may have to be planted insmall crevices between rocks torestrict their root growth or theymay have to be root-pruned.Root pruning is just a matter ofcutting back, some of the hori­zontal roots from time to time tokeep the nourishment availableto the plant at a minimum.

Slow and SteadyAt the present time we have

two dwarf greens and have justordered the two more we men­tioned. Four such plants willhardly fill up the required spacebut we are firm believers inbuilding a garden by bits andpieces rather than in one bigstep.

At the rate we are going, itmay be a few years before thestrip of garden in question lookslike very much but in the mean­time we plan to fill in the spaceswith tuberous begonias and thebaby greens we hav.e started atvarious times during the years.

The north side of the house isalways a problem because ofcourse it gets very little sun. Agarden of greens is a perfectsolution because even in Winterit retains some color, especiallyif one has the foresight to plantgreens that turn colors duringthe Winter. Such a garden takesvery little care and is readilykept in bounds, since dwarfgreens will never become toomuch of a problem in terms oftaking up a great deal of space.

The azaleas for this garden areanother matter and must bechosen with care. They too, canke kept in bounds by judiciouspruning, however, and althoughI would prefer to let them grownaturally, they are controllable.

In the KitchenIt's bright and sunny outside

with just a hint of the balmydays to come. The first daffodilsare peeping from their lightgreen covers and I feel it's theperfect time to rid the soul ofa few complaints and start theslate anew.

One of my readers requestedthat I write a column aboutchildren who are allowed to goto Mass without an adult eachSunday and spend the entire 35or 40 minutes entertaining theirpeers to the consternation of allthose around them. One groupso distracted and aggravatedthis reader that she declared shehad to say' quite a few Acts ofContrition before she' felt shecould go to the altar in a Chris­tian frame of mind.

I must agree with her that nomatter how good our intentionsor how hard we try to ignoresuch distractions, we are in truthonly human and our mind tendsto pay more attention to themthan to the word of God beingread from the altar. Fortunatelyfor us, the Mass we attend isquite free from annoying dis-

Michigan BishopsUrge Speedy AidFor Sch~ols

LAN SIN G (NC) - TheMichigan Catholic Confer­ence has urged the state leg­islature to take fast actionon "the critical problems facingpublic and nonpublic educationin Michigan."

The MCC urged Gov. WilliamC. Milliken and the legislatureto act now rather than awaitthe results of a study committeenext fall ..

The statement came in re­sponse to Gov. Milliken's recentmessage to the legislature inwhich he called for "restraintand reform" and suggested hold­ing to recommended spendinglevels until his committee cancome up with proposals to re­vamp the entire educational sys­tem.

The MCC said the problemsare too acute to await the slowprocess of study committee andaction.

The MCC statement issuedhere was signed by Cardinal­Designate John F. Dearden of De­troit, the other Michigan bishopsand Catholic lay leaders. Its pub­lication coincided with the open­ing here of the 66th annual con­vention of the National CatholicEducational Association, attend­ed by some 12,000 Catholicteachers and administrators fromthroughout the country.

Critical Problem

The MCC also asked for statetax support of nonpublic schools.

"We are committed to the goalof transforming. all of ourschools, both inner-city and sub­urban, public and private, intoinstitutions of academic excel­lence and centers of dignity andhope," the statement said.

"We urge the Governor andthe legislature to act now tosolve the critical problem facingpublic and nonpublic educationin Michigan," it added.

The legislature is now consid­ering a bill which would provideup to $40 mi4ion in indirect stateaid to nonpublic schools. Gov.Milliken has said he would be infavor of such a bill provided itencounters no constitutional ob­stacles and the legislature cancome up with sufficient funds.

The MCC statement said:

Public Service

"Catholic eduaction in Michi­gan has a long history of pre­paring young people to live thefull life of a responsible citizen.

"The development of the Cath­olic school system has been andcontinues to be an immense pub­lic service to the people of Mich­igan."

The MCC quoted from an earl­ier statement in which it urgedCatholics and. others to givestrong support to public schools,including financial help as wellas "interest and concern."

"Parents who exercise theircivil right to send their childrento parochial schools are notfreed of the obligation' of theentire citizenry to supp'ort publiceducation, "the statement said.

Now, however, "we ... ex­press our equal concern for theneeds of children attending allnonpublic schools in Michigan,"the MCC said in its latest state­ment.

"These schools have made sub­stantial contributions to thepublic welfare," in the educationfield, the statement continued.

HAPPY OCCASION: Richard Cardinal Cushi ng of Boston offers his former secretary and aux­iliary bishop, Cardinal-designate John Wright of Pittsburgh, some cardinalitial garments whichhe casually described as' 'hand-me-downs." Replying, the Cardinal-designate remarked that ingoing to Rome to accept the great honor he has received from Pope Paul VI he was happy tohave Cardinal Cushing's "hand-me-downs," and that in the purple vestments of "my bishop," hewould hope to be reminded of the purple cloak of Christ.

Experiment ~asInterfaith Basis

SOUTH BEND (NC)-"ProjectCommitment," an experiment inan interfaith approach to humanrelations problems, has begunhere with 34 churches and syna­gogues participating.

"Project Commitment" wasfirst put into practice by theDetroit archdiocese about threeyears ago, according to JamesP. Danehy, University of NotreDame chemistry professor andproject chairman.

After Detroit, the programwas tried in a few other citiesunder Catholic auspices, butthe South Bend project is thefirst attempted anywhere on aninterfaith basis, said Danehywho also chairs the South Bend­Fort Wayne diocesan human re­lations commission.

"PC is an attempt to takewhite people who have not yetdeveloped convictions concern­ing their responsibilities for in­terracial and interreligious jus­tice, and to give them the moti­vation to go back to their con­gregations and parishes andchange prejudicial social pat­terns," Danehy said.

PC is a series of eignt consec­utive weekly meetings, attendedby up to 20 representatives ofselected area Catholic, Protes­tant and Jewish congregationswho have been chosen by pas­tors, rabbis or lay boards fortheir leadership potential. Ateach meeting an expert speakson some phase of communitylife in which racial attitudesplay a role and a discussion pe­riod follows.

DETROIT (NC) - Representa­tives of 17 different religiouscommunities teaching in thePhiladelphia area plan to forman association which "will de­mand to sit a( the bargainingtable" when negotiations areheld between archdiocesan offi­cials and lay teachers in theCatholic schools.

Protestors BurnCross at Shrine

WASHINGTON (NC)-A blackChrist figure on an eight-footcross, covered with homemadenapalm and gasoline, was burnedon the steps of the NationalShrine of the Immaculate Con­ception here by a group of anti­Vietnam war protestors.

The demonstration was a "pro­test to the lack of moral leader­ship" in society and in the Cath­olic Church, according to JosephColeman, who said he was a parttime janitor in a religious house.

By burning the paper Christfigure, Coleman said, "we wantto signify how Christ in man isbeing corporally crucified in Viet­nam-to mention one place-andis being spiritually suppressedwithin us here at home."

In a driving rain that made itnecessary for the protestors tokeep setting fire to the figure,Coleman added that the demQn­stration also honored Martin Lu­ther King - "a man who didspeak out." He urged the Churchto "voice full support" for anti­war protestors like those whoentered the Dow Chemical Com­pany building her~ recently.

Inside the shrine, several hun­dred persons were attending ser­vices. Small groups of worship­ers left by the front entrancesand saw the demonstration, butmost went out by the side exits.The demonstrators distributedcopies of Coleman's statement inthe Church. .

After an hour of singing andreading of statements, the dem­onstrators took down the cross.cleaned up their mess and left.

One of the arguments againstincreasing foreign aid is that therecipient nations don't appreci­ate the gifts sufficiently. But, hepointed out that aid has oftenbeen an instrument of U. S. for­eign policy.

"Even if people are not suffi­ciently grateful, that does notimpugn our own responsipility tocontinue to help them, hoping allthe while that, sure, they willbe grateful, too," he asserted.

The question of efficiency alsocomplicates the problem, headded. "But we want to look intoquestions of longer-range tradepolicies," so that more and more,international justice would bethe goal.

India Collects DataOn Missionaries

NEW DELHI (NC) - India'sminister of state for home affairshas stated that the governmentis collecting information on for­eign missionaries who reportedlyindulge in "anti-social activi­ties."

In reply to questions by agroup of nine members ofparliament, Vidya Charan Shuklatold the lower house here thatdata is also being collected onthe number of schools, collegesand charitable institutions run bymissionaries.

Shukla said details of the com­plaints against missionaries, theaction taken against them, thenumber of new foreign mission­aries permitted to come toIndia and those who have beenallowed to continue their stayare also being gathered.

Shukla also stated that foreignmissionaries in the country re­ceived a total of $16 million as"private donations" in 1965, $91million in 1966 and $82 millionin 1987.

"I think the role of the Churchis primarily to form consciences,to form a public conscience withregard to the condition of man,"he said. "It's a constant battle topush the limits of our interestand concern wider and wider, totake in the poor of this countryand the poor of the world."

Msgr. Bordelon believes it isthe chief task of the Church tocontinue to remind people thathalf the human family is hungry,sick, underdeveloped. He saidthat while the mathematical sta­tistics are not necessarily accu­rate, they may be rounded out.

NEW YORK (NC) - Msgr.Marvin Bordelon, director of theDivision of World Justice andPeace, United States CatholicConference, said in a radiointerview the agency's work oftrying to form a world con­science sensitive to the conditionof all men, has been frustrating.- Msgr. Bordelon, interviewed onGuideline carried on the NBCnetwork, said, despite frustra­tion, the Church and the nationmust persevere in their efforts.

"This is what I would ask ofthe nation, and specifically ofRoman Catholics, of Christiansand of religious people, Jewsand others, in this nation, thatwe would continue and not justthrow up our hands and say,well, we'll give up," he asserted.

When asked whether theChurch's program is being op­posed by communists, the prel­ate said: "The question of com­munism really isn't the agonizingquestion. I would say the ques­tion of laissez-faire, of 'I don'tcare' on the part of Christians ismuch more of a problem than ofopposition from communists."

Role of Church

Msgr. Bordelon said the Divi­sion of World Justice and Peacedeals with the condition of theworld, of man, and what mightbe the response of the Church.He said he believes that, al­though governments and secularagencies are also concernedabout the condition of man, theChurch has a particular role toplay.

Need, FeasibilityFormation of a Catholic school

district would be contingent up­on an area study of need andfeasibility. It would require ap­proval of the bishop and ofCatholics in parishes of the area.

Under the plan:All parishes located within the

defined service or attendancearea would belong to the district.This would include even thoseparishes which have not had di­rect responsibility for operatinga school, even those whose par­ishioners now have not utHizedto any extent the school of an':other parish.

The educational poliCies andprograms of the district wouldbe defined by a district board ofeducation and administered bya district superintendent whowould be responsible to the dis-'trict board and to the diocesansuperintendent of education.

All parishes of the districtwould have equal right to par­ticipate in the educational op­portunities provided. The exer­cise of this right would be basedon an equitable formula of en­rollment distribution as deter­mined by the district board ofeducation.

Every parish. as a constituentmember of the district, would beresponsible according to an equi­table formula established by thedistrict board, for subsidizing theeducational programs of the dis­trict.

SPOKANE (NC)-The Spokanediocesan finance commission hasrecommended to Bishop BernardJ. Topel of Spokane that no moremajor building projects be un­dertaken at this time.

The commission noted that allmonies in the diocesan revolvingfund are already committed. Atotal of $550.000 has been loanedin recent months from the re­volving fund, made possible bythe annual diocesan developmentfund. the commission said.

But because both the totalamounts pledged and the totalactual dollars received by thediocesan development fund havediminished in recent years, thecommission said it is necessaryto delay new projects which reoquire loans to parishes and otherdiocesan institutions.

School PlanSAGINAW (NC)-Should

a Catholic school be a dis­trict rather than a parishresponsibility? That's thequestion under current consider­ation by the Saginaw DiocesanBoard of Education.

Purpose of the district planwould be to achieve a moreequitable basis of financial sup­port and control, and a moreefficient and effective use of ed­ucational resources. It recognizesthe need for some kind of localor area educational authority toengage in necessary educationalplanning and organization.

Father Olin J. Murdick. dio­cesan superintendent of educa­tion. said the district responsibil­ity concept is "based on the be-·lief that Catholic education isthe responsibility of the totalCatholic community, not justthose families or those parisheswhich have historically soughtto provide it.

"Hopefully. this principle willreceive the recognition and sup­port it des~rves. The future ofCatholic education depends uponit."

Thus the world's lopsided di­vision of wealth and lethal divi­sions of sovereignty will be ex­tended to 'the oceans and thelast unallotted resources of man­kind will be handed over to thosewho already control 80 per centof the world's existing wealth.

Offers AlternativeDo we have to accept this drift

of events as inevitable? As Chris­tian citizens, are we, to be con­tent with yet another twist tothe spiral of unequal wealthleading to ever greater inequal-'ity? The answer is that there isan alternative. And it is an al­ternative that could', reduce the,tensions of ~ival sovereignties'and create a whole new field inwhich nations, insfead of tear­ing each other apart, could findnew ways of working together.

The first step is, to, take upthe pattern of the AntarcticTreaty, which withdraws Antarc­tica from sovereign national di­vision. A similar internationalagreement would lay it downthat the oceans, beyond agreedcoastal limits, 'are under the.jurisdiction of the whole human,community and their "sovereign­ty" should be vested in a HighAuthority established by theUnited Nations and answerable

, to it. "The next step is to give this

Authority all rights in seabedresources. Licenses will be is­sued by it, royalties paid to itand an agreed share, of ultimateprofits set aside for it. There isno reason why the kind of break­down of earnings practised bysome oil companies in Arabland - 70 per cent to ",the hostcountry, 30 per cent to the ex­ploiting corporation-should notbe the ultimate aim.'

,Capital for DevelopmentThis flood of capital, increas­

ing over the, years, would thenbe allotted to international de­velopment agencies-the WorldBank, the U.N.D.P., the regionaldevelopment banks-and wouldprovide part of the desperatelyneeded investment of world mod­ernization.

Cloud 9? Cuckooland? No, aperfectly realistic response toour shrunken planet, our newtechnology and our desperatesearch for peace. In fact, pro­posals for such an Authority forthe oceans and such a distribu­tion' of maritime resources are,already under discussion in theUnited States Senate and in theUnited Nations.

But, Jike all projects whichseek to invent a future more ap­propriate for our planetary sur­vival, they lack a lobby. Whospeaks for a less self-regardingdivision of future wealth? Whopresses for the avoidance of di­visive sovereignty before it hasbeen installed? Who, in short,thinks and speaks for the wholeEarth and for the human racethat has to try to survive on thisfragile planet?

Parish Boards Part of Diocesan Effort,Keep Catholic Education" Functioning

By Patricia McGowan

Parish school boards are part of the effort being made in the Fall River Dioceseto beat the odds against continuing Catholic education and keep as many schools aspossible open as long as possible. Parishioners at St. Joseph's Church, Fall River,meeting recently to organize their own board, listened to representatives from St.Patrick's board, also FallRiver. St. Patrick's pastor,Msgr. John E. Boyd, it wasrecounted, in effect handedthe parish school keys to theboard members. "We realized itwas our school, not the pastor's,"said board members. "It was ourchildren. who were being edu­cated," Last year the board tookover the school. They startedwith a clean slate, bill-wise, andwere given a $50 subsidy perchild from parish funds. Othermoney comes from tuition feesand fundraising activities such assuppers and cake sales.

"We pay all salaries and billsand thus far the school has beenentirely self-supporting," saidthe board members. To savemoney men on the board havethemselves made repairs on theschool such as replacing col­lapsed ceilings and installing'new doors. An educational cem­mittee is responsible for replac­ing textbooks and initiating suchprojects as a school library.

Why Bother?Why such herculean efforts to

keep Catholic schools open? Sis­ter Mary Urban, R.S.M., diocesanschool supervisor who was atthe St. Joseph's meeting, had ananswer. "There has to be somekind of difference between ateacher and a religious teacher,"she said. "A teacher is dedicated,but a religious should go a littlefurther.

"As we study whether Catholiceducation, at this crisis stage;should stay or go, we should ex­amine what Catholic educationhas accomplished in the last 100years.

Sell ChristianityBusiness StylePriest Advises

NEW ORLEANS (NC) ­A priest advocated here thatmarketing techniques usedby. commercial advertisersbe adopted by preachers to sellChristianity.

Speaking at the 12th annualChristian Preaching Conferenc~

meeting, Father Donald F. X.Connolly, coordinator of the Na­tional Catholic OffiCe of Radioand Television, New York, said"priests have to be aware ofmarket value and audience re­sponse, especially to reach youngpeople."

Father Connolly explained:"You don't have to repeat thetheme 18 times and then draw amoral. Young people get themessage right away."

In al} age of change, he said,essentials are the most impor- .tanto It is necessary to establishpriorities in identifying the mainproduct, Christianity, he stated.

"After you decide which prod­uct you are going to market, youmust know your market audi­ence, given them a sample ofthe product, emphasize its goodpoints, then sell, sell, sell," heurged.

TV Emotive MediumFather Connolly pointed out

that preachers can learn a$50,000 lesson by watching TVcommercials and studying thetechniques.

"Television is an emotive me­dium," he said. "It establishescontact with people, not throughintellectual content of its mes­sage, but through emotions.

"It is largely because of tele­vision that young people do nothave an intellectual appreciationof the message. But the1 do un­derstand em'otions," he said.

Auxiliary Bishop Harold R.Perry, S.V.D., of New Orleanswelcomed the participants on be­half of the archdiocese, andchaired a session on "PreaChingto the Disenfranchised."

SOUTH ORANGE (NC) - TheSecretariat for Catholic-JewishRelations of the National Confer­ence of Catholic Bishops is plan­ning to issue a series of papers onthe ArabI-Israeli conflict so thatCatholics may better understandthe background of the presentMiddle East hostilities.

The secretariat, located atSeton Hall university here, willsend the papers to the variousdiocesan offices for Catholic­Jewish relations. The series willdeal with Israel's moral and legalright to exist, the refugee prob­lem, Zionism; Christian theologyand Judaism and other topics.

In announcing the series, thesecretariat said: "Since the Arab­Israeli War of June, 1967, the

image of the state of Israel hasdeteriorated in the world and inthe United States. During thesame period Israel has assumedever greater dimension in thehearts and minds of Jews every­where. This divergence in appre­ciation has led to new tensions inJewish-Christian relations."

The secretariat noted thatmany Jews have been disappoint­ed by the Christian response tothe Arab-Israel conflict and are"inclined to interpret anti-Israeliattitudes as somewhat anti­Jewish."

The sec.retariat said: "Though. it is not our function to dictate

attitudes or policies of Christianswith respect to the state of Is­rael, we must concern ourselves

with any and all misinformationor misconceptions that tend toundermine" Jewish-Christian un-derstanding. .

This does not mean, the secre­tariat said, that the secretariatposition should be anti-Arabsince one of its aims is Arab­Jewish reconciliation.

The secretariat noted: "If wetake a pro-Israeli position, it isonly insofar as we consider itwarranted by the facts and truthsof the case. Arab-Israeli peacemust be built on a foundation oftruth and justice."

The first paper, written by thesecretariat's executive sec,retary,Father Edward H. Flannery, dealswith the foundations of the stateof Israel.

This finalhearing was held in FederalCourt here and the Cannonball'sfriends, mostly elderly women,were on hand early.

More specifically, he chargesthat the press "tended to treatdebates in! St. Peter's as thoughthey were debates in the Amer­ican Congress or the French As­sembly."

He notes, in addition,,' that thepress "divided up in the proc­ess," if only because of the factthat it was using these analog­ical terms very loosely and care­lessly and hadn't bothered todefine them with any degree ofaccuracy or care.

,Asks Respectful HearingFor my., own part, I am much

more sympathetic to the pressthan either Father Bouyer or Mr.Wall. In fact; I happen to be, ifanything, 'decidedly ,prejudicedin favor of the press.'

, Nevertheless r think that thosejournalists who specialize onpost-conciliar developments­and especially those' reportersand editors who like to think ofthemselves as belonging to theavant garde-would be well ad­vised to listen very carefully towhat Bouyer and Wall are trying

, to tell them.Liberal members of the Fourth

Estate have had a field day sincethe beginning of the Council tell­ing the rest of the Church 'whichend .is up. Now that other liber­als in the Catholic communityare beginning to pay them backin kind, they ought to give thema respectful hearing, for what­ever it may be worth. It won'thurt them in the least and mighteven do them a certain amountof 'gOOd. Who knows?

Council - in all lan~uages," ofcourse-have either been pUb­lished or at least contracted forsince 1965. It is my off-hand im­pression that this is a conserva-,tive figure.

Volume SignificantIt goes without saying, of

course, that the books beingwritten about the Council insuch great numbers are very un­even in quality and that so:ieof them are hardly worth thepaper they are printed on.

Nevertheless, the sheer volumeof writings on the ·Council is notwithout significance. Surely noother Council in the history ofthe Church has been the subjectof so much serious study andattention in such a brief periodof time.

It's interesting to note in thisconnection that even at this latedate-almost a century after theevent-there are only two orthree English-language booksabout the First Vatican Counciland not, many more than that inother languages.

In this writer's opinion, themost valuable of all the manybooks which have been publishedthus far on various phases ofVatican II are those which tra1!ethe origins and step-by-step de­velopment or evolution of thevarious Council documents.

Second ThoughtsThis kind of meticulous rec­

ord-keeping and scholarly exe­gesis, when done by bishops andperiti who were in on the draft­ing of the Council documentsfrom the word go and were re­sponsible for editing the succes­sive drafts, is a priceless contri­bution to the history of theology.

The, third and final impressionI have garnered from my casualsampling of the latest crop ofbooks on Vatican II is that anumber of so-called "liberae' orprogressive commentators arehaving second thoughts aboutthe way in which the so-called"liberal" or progressive wing ofthe press, Catholic and secularalike, covered the Council, andthe way in which it is handlingpost-conciliar developments , inthe life of the Church.

In this connection, I am think­ing of two recent books in par­ticular, one in French and theother in English: "The Decom­position of Catholicism," byFather Louis Bouyer, a distin­guished French theologian, and"Heading Into Change," theautobiography of Bernard Wall,an experienced British journalistand editor.

Vainglorious TheologiansFather Bouyer, who has taught

at the University of N:otre Dame'for a number of years, is ex­tremely critical of what he de­scribes as the infantile naiveteand sophistry of certain Catholicjournalists and of the vainglori­ous theologians who are eggingthem on as they allegedly try toimpose their view on the rest ofthe Church.

Mr. Wall, who himself coveredthe Council as a working jour- "nalist, is more restrained, butequally pointed in his criticismof the :way in which the press ingeneral reported the Council.

Some travelers who unexpectedly find themselveswith extra time on their hands in foreign cities, go inrather frantical,ly for bargain-hunting in the local em­poria-most of the time a rather fruitless exercise, I shouldthink, in this age of almostuniversal inflation. Others,going far beyond the callof duty-and with no regardfor their own comfort-manfullytake on another round of sight­seeing. S til Iothers, I sup­pose, are con­tent to go backto their hoteland try to catchup on theirsleep. Everyman to his owntaste. This trav­eler's favoriteway of fillingup his leisurehours when heis on the road is to make therounds of all the. book stores.

I have been doing this' with avengence during the past fewweeks in several Europeancities and notably in Rome, andhave come away from the expe­rience with several random andadmittedly unscientific impres­sions which mayor may not, beof interest to anyone else.

My first impression is thatbooks are at least as expensivein Europe as they 'are in theUnited States. And yet there arejust as many bookstores-andaparently just as many booksbeing sold, proportionatelyspeaking -' as in comparablecities at home.

Marvelous Stores

As a part-time student, ofeconomics, I am at a loss tounderstand this phenomenon,given the fact that the standardof living in Rome and otherEuropean capitals is lower thanour own, at least in monetaryterms.

In other words, I don't quiteunderstand how it is possiblefor a city like Rome, for exam­ple, to keep so many bookstoresgoing - and such marvelousstores at that.

Perhaps the explanation isthat the Romans have a differentsense of values than we do andaccordingly spend more of theirincome on books and less of iton other luxuries.

Maybe so. Or is it possible thatappearances are deceptive andthat the number of books beingsold in Rome ,is, in actual fact,much smaller than it would ap­pear to be to the casual observerfrom overseas?

About Vatican II

I really don't know, but, inany event, I have had a picnicbrowsing around the Romanstores, many of which, by theway, now supplement their reg­ular stock of Italian and Frenchbooks with a surprisingly 'widevariety of English-language pub­lications.

The second impression I' havepicked up in the course of visit­ing perhaps a dozen European(and especially Roman) book­stores in recent weeks is tliat al­most every second or third per-'son in France and Italy seemsto have written a book aboutVatican Council II.

I read somewhere not long agothat a minimum of 2,000 booksand monographs about the

Jersey AssemblymenFavor Prayer Bill

TRENTON (NC) - A bill per­mitting silent prayer and medi­tation in New Jersey's publicschools has been approved, 59-2,by the state Assembly.

The measure, now before theSenate, is identical to onepassed last year, but vetoed byGov. Richard J. Hughes as un­constitutional. Sponsors admitthe bill may not be in accordwith a U. S. Supreme Court rul­ing against prayers in publicschools.

Gov. Hughes has indicatedthat if it is similar to the 1968proposal, he will veto it too.

The proposed legislation wouldpermit a teacher, acting on hisown discretion, or school boards,to set aside a period of silenceat the start of the school day forsilent prayer or meditafion.

Assemblyman Albert S. Smith,believes it will be "a step towardgetting religion back into theminds of our children. Prayer ispermitted in th legislature andother places. Nobody has anysecond thoughts about it. Yetschool children are deprived ofit."

tion to House Bill 71, a measurewhich would permit a woman toobtain an abortion if two physi­cians certified that there was"substantial risk" that a preg­nancy would "gravely impair herphysical or mental health" orwould result in a child beingborn with "grave physical ormental defects."·

The Youngstown mother, whowith her husband is former headof the Youngstown diocesanCana movement, said she experi­enced "heartache and pain" whenshe learned her newborn son in1958 was mentally retarded.

But since then, life with a mon­goloid child, she said, "has cometo mean something very differentthan what we ever imagined orhoped it could be."

She added: "There are thoseprecious moments that all of usremember in the lives of ourchildren . . . the day he gavewilted dandelions so proudly tothe lady next door, a gift that shesaid was cherished more than adozen yellow roses.

"The beauty of the child isreally his simplicity and open­ness. Many times in the midstof our retarded son's confusion,he brings us back to normalcy.It is difficult to tell you all thathe has done for the family, eachand everyone of us.

"But that is why. I am here, toreciprocate in some small mea­sure. I want to be able to sharewith you the respect we have forour son so that in some way,the beauty of his humaness willdispel your thoughts of the hide­ousness of the defective retardedchild ... and human he is, yes.

"Can you for a moment doubtthat my life has become morebeal,ltiful, more full, more usefulbecause of Breen? He is a ray ofsunshine on a cloudy day."

Before her son's birth, Mrs.'Craig said, her standards wereset on "intellectual accomplish­ments and excellence" for herchildren. She declared: "Beauty,I'm afraid, was based much onthtlir appearance and social ac­ceptance. The reality of retardedchildren or of poverty was thefarthest thing from my· mind.It certainly' had no place in ourwell insulated corner of theworld."

Have the past 11 years beenworthwhile?

"Yes," said Mrs. Craig, "mystandards, my values, my senseof what is beautiful, my accept­ance of reality today, now havemeaning. These years have beenfruitful. The reality of Breentook us out of our insulatedworld and opened many closeddoors to our hearts. We brokeout of those walls and saw theneeds of other human beings. Asa result of this, we became ac­tively involved in social justice inthe world around us."

Mrs. Craig said she met witha group of mothers of retardedpre-school children, and they per­suaded her to tell the legislators:

"Do not use the retarded chilpas a scapegoat or an issue to passthis unhealthy bilL" _

She noted that she knows ofno'~organization of parents frommental retardation groups whohave ever endorsed the liberal­ized abortion bill. She told thelegislative committee:

"I think it would be wise foryou to try to make personal con­tacts, possibly one-to-one- con­tact, with the parents of the men­tally retarded or cerebral palsiedchildren before speaking in ourbehalf. You are here supposedlyspeaking for all of us. I'm sureyou will find that we aren't theunhappy, unfortunate and miser­able lot that we are sometimeslabeled to be."

Cardinal GraciasDeplores TurmoilIn Church

BOMBAY (NC) - Valer­ian Cardinal Gracias of Born-,bay has blasted "pseudo­theologians" and "pseudo­liturgists" in a strongly wordedpastoral letter on what he callsthe turmoil in the Church.

Everywhere in the Church, thepastoral declared, there is infat­uation for all that is novel; iden­tification of the latest with thetruest and best; a silly fear ofbeing held or even called old­fashioned, orthodox, out-of-date.

The impression is being cre­ated, the carainal stated, that theChurch in India all these centu­ries has been in the deepestslumber; and today the laity, theclergy, the Religious have awak­ened from that slumber and areeager for quick and far-reachingreforms.

The Second Vatican Council,the pastoral said initiated a proc­ess of renewal, but not a refor­mation; it urged a change but in­sisted that continuity was neces­sary.

"Pope John opened the win­dow slightly to let in fresh airo 0 0; others are letting in a hur­ricane, so that the interestedCatholic finds himself at timesnot only hanging on to his hat,but to his head as well," Cardi­nal Gracias said. .

Lead to ConfusionPointing out that the treasure

of sacramental and devotionallife in the Church in India mustbe "zealously preserved," thecardinal noted that Indian Cath­olics by and large have been reg­ular Mass-goers, communicants,devotees of Our Lady -and par­ticipants in such movements asthe Sodality and the Society ofSt. Vincent De Paul.. He conceded that there can be

differences of theological opin­ion and there must be openminds.

"But all this must be proposedespecially by theological expertsin restricted circles, with pru­dence born of intellectual grace,with reverence due to all. sacredmatters, with a Christian confi­dence that the truth will pre­vail."

The cardinal said attempts,legitimate and otherwise, at In­dianization of the Church wereleading to a great deal of con­fusion because it is impossiblefor people to understand theChurch if they regard it as sub­ject to the limitations of humanculture.

He added that in the matter ofthe liturgy, Indianization canonly be achieved if experimentsare routed through some centralorganization composed of ex­perts and subject to legitimateeccesiastical control.

Methodists OpposePrivate School Aid

CHARLESTON (NC)-The useof tax funds to aid private orparochial schools has met oppo­sition from the Council of Bish·ops of' the United MethodistChurch.

The bishops, in a resolutionadopted on the final day of abiannual meeting, here, said thestand was taken "in view of themounting pressure being placedupon legislators in several states':' * * to provide funds to supportprivate and parochial schools."

The 1968 'general conferenceof the United Methodist Churchtook a similar stand, and thebishops said their resolution herereaffirms that pos,ition.

The resolution said parentswho desire their children to be

. educated in private and paro­chial 'schools should see to itthat this is done, "but we insistthat such schools be supportedwith private funds alone."

There's been change, but neverenough." ,

Southern Italy, of course, haslong been in the relentless gripof the past. Progress has beenimperceptible. The region ispoor. And the division of suchresources as it can boast hasbeen grossly unjust. A very fewhave held ownership and riches.The vast majority have barelymanaged to subsist.

New ComplicationsThe battIe to get the nursery

built and in operation was pro­longed. MissCornelisen b~came

all too well acquainted with thedelays and the ,detours. of a pettybureaucracy. Of officials to beconsulted and appeased, therewas no end, and each of themcould be a despot. Getting per­mits was an intricate businesswhich consumed months andyears, and entailed enoughpaperwork to wear out one'sfingers.

In connection with the nur­sery, there wer~ to be new unitsof public housing. Their erectionwas equally a harassment. And 'when it came to designating thefamilies to move in, and the chil­dren to be admitted to the nur­sery, new complications and. con­flicts arose. But something wasaccomplished in each instance.,. This double' process, so pro­

tracted and thorny, got MissCornelisen deeply entangled inthe life 9f Torregreca. She cameto know it full' well. She de­scribes it in detail. She has aneye and an ear'lor the definitivenote.

TIlus, she speaks of "bellsthat jangled in the high, irritableway of Southern bells." She re­fers to "Southern grief, which isnot so much a personal tortureas a public marathon." /

Superlative DescriptionsShe discusses the religion of

the people, their view of God asvengeful, their fears 'and super­stitions which are a durable rem­nant of paganism. If she issevere, she cannot be said to beunfair. One or two points arequestionable, as, for example, apriest (of an upper class family)maintained that the souls of un­baptized dead babies haunt thetown.

It is obvious that, despite herstrictures, Miss Cornelisen lovedTorregreca, and its people. Herdescriptions are superlative. Shemakes one experience thewarmth of the sun and 'theclammy grasp of the cold, thestench of the' open sewers andthe pinch of hunger.

She concludes, "I shall neverbe. free of Torregreca; 1- have nodesire to be. I go there now as aretreat from frenetic cities andpeople without direction. I re­lax in the challenge of stayingalive, for in the Torregrecas sur"vival is life, all of it."

Author Discovers ,VocationIn Southern Italy ToWt:I

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

Finding one's vocation is often neither si~ple nordirect. Some people apparently stumble on theIrs. Thatwas true of Ann Cornelisen, as her fascinating book Tor­regreca (Atlantic-Little, Brown, 34 Beacon Street, Boston02106, $7.95) shows. Shewent to Italy in 195~ to

, study a~chaeology. "Insteac;l,without plan and almostagainst my will I became inter­ested in a private British char-

, itable agencythat worked ex­clusively in thevillages ofSouthern Italy."It was to absorbher thereafter.Its specialtywas nurseriesand infant-feed­ing centers, notonly foundingand supervisingthese, but alsousing them as a mean for train·

, ing teac/lers and social workers,and for demonstrating to moth­ers of families practicable meth­ods of hygiene and child care.In addition, the representativesof the agency were consultantsto town councils and collabo­

'rated on community dev'elop­ment projects.

Miss Cornelisen travelled overSouthern Italy visiting her agen-

_cies' establishments and in 1959she settled into the town, in theLucanian region, to which she'has given the pseudonym Torre­greca. There she was to stay foralmost a decade, supervising thebuilding and running of a nur­sery, as well, as having much todo with a housing project.

Weird ExperienceTorregreca has a romantic­

sounding name (like. the town'sreal name probably, too). It hasa picturesque setting, on arugged hill. Seen from afar, itdoubtless impresses the passer­by as quaint and charming. Inactuality, .it is overcrowded,mostly squalid, and beaten downby extreme poverty.

Miss Cornelisen's arrival wasregarded with suspicion and in­tense curiosity. It was inconceiv­able to the townfolk that astranger should choose 'to livein their midst. Besides, thisstranger was Anglo-Saxon andProtestant, a single woman whol­'lyon her own. They could notunderstand such a freak.

Until she could' secure therental of a house, she lived witha community of nuns which con­ducts orphanges all over South­ern Italy. It was a weird experi­ence, especially the interrogationshe had to endure when it wasdiscovered that she was not aCatholic.

Wins Bishop's FavorEventually she located a

house. It was rented to h'er by ayoung widow, Chicnella Fascide.The two became friends, andChichella recited the story ofher life. It may be taken as typi­cal of the existence of the re­sourceless peasant.

Miss Cornelisen was graduallyaccepted by the town. The proc­ess was both 'punishing and com­ical. A factor in her favor wasthe bishop's publicly demon­strated favor.

"Wake these people up," hetold her. "You have energy. Useit! Use it on the nuns as well.They can change * * ':' Howeverlong you stay, you'll changesomething, but never much. I'vebeen here almost 40-years.
