Attacks Public Educators' Position on Federal Aid

LOS ANGELES (NC) - Discrimination is inherent in the National Education AssOCiation's position on Federal aid to education, James Francis Cardinal McIntyre told 1,100 Knights of Columbus here. The Archbishop of Los Angeles accused the NEA of using "separation of ChurCh

. and State as a shibboleth" in its efforts to promote Fed­eral aid, while at the same time

Americans Proud Of New Blessed

DUBLIN (NC)-A U. S. priest rold Irishmen how proud Amer­kans were to see a fellow citi ­zen raised to the Church's altar.

Said Msgr. Patrick V. Ahern, secretary to Francis Cardinal Spellman, speaking at a Mass here for some 600 pilgrims re­turning from Rome where they saw the beatification of Mother Seton:

"You here in Ireland are used -to your saints. You have pad

. them from the beginning, but you can imagine the pride. we felt in seeing the first native American raised to the altar." .

Archbishop John C. McQuaid ;;/- of Dublin presided at the Mass , .. _.....

which was offered in Dublin's procathadral by Msgr. Gustav J. Schultheiss, pastor of St. Peter's church in Staten Island, N. Y.

With the pilgrims was 15­year- old Anne Teresa O'1';'eill from Baltimore, Md., who was cured of leukemia through Mother seton's intercession.

' denying such aid to children at­tending parochial schools.

"It is basically the same kind of discrimination that exists in the whole dispute on civil rights," he said. .

"The issue is the right of every child to be treated equally.

"If we must be sHparated and discriminated" against," the Car­dinal declared, "then, the Con­stitution has become a sham.

"I have confidence in the American people that this will not happen."

Questions Need The Cardinal, speaking.to the

· annual Communion breakfast of the Southern California Knights, questioned the need of Federal aid to education.

He remarked that non-Catho­lic political and educational au­thorities from Sen. Barry Gold­water of Arizona to Ernest L. Wilkinson, president of Brigham Young University, have contend­ed that there is no need for such aid.

The states themselves have not requested aid, the Cardinal said.

"The NEA," - he said,' "has made the issue.

"If the issue is not 'need, what is it? "­

"If there is no need, why pro­mote it? The 1'o'""EA is conscioua of the lack of need."

Legion of Decency The following films are to be

added to the lists in their re­spective' classifications:

Unobjectionable for General Patronage - Mirac:le of the White Stallions (R4~commlmded as s'uperior famil)' entertain­ment). .

Unobjectionable for Adults' and Ad01escents _. Come :fly With Me; Duel of the Titans; It Happened at the World's Fair; Play It Cool.

Unobjectionable i'or Adults-­Bye, Bye Birdie.

Objedionable in :Part for All -Operation Bikini. (Objection: The theme of ·this film Is marred by the gratuitous introduction of suggestive costuming· and situ-· ations.)

Condemned - The Balcony. (Objection: An obscene and blas­phemous excursion into a world of perversion, this film offers its audience a dark exercise in evil for its own sake.· In com­menting upon the meaning and values of life, the film-maker es­pouses a cynical philosophy of hopelessness, absurdity and ·pes­simism. As an enticement for prurient interest the film's treat­ment highlights gross sugges­tiveness in costuming, dialogue and situations. It is to be noted that although this film 1. an American productioIl, it does not bear the seal of Approval of the Production Code Administra­tion.)

Separate Classification-Mon­do Cane. (Observation: A docu­mentary presentation of certain customs and behavij)r of people in various parts of the world, this film becomes, in editing, a pungent commentary on human­-ity. Several aspects of this com­mentary are positive and not without foundation, in human experience. Nevertheless, at times the film-maker's selection of material appears arbitrary and artificial and· hi!; editing cre­ates superficial and· even forced comparisions; with the result that his point of view is open to

· varying interpretalion.· More': over, the visuals of the film can be shocking, revolting and diS­

· turbing' to an immature or sensi­tive audience.)

Specialist Sees Shat of Opinion On Federal Aid

COLUMBUS (N C ) - A dramatic shift in public Opinion on Federal aid to private SCl:lOOls has occurred fince 1961, an expert in Church­State relations said here in Ohio.

William B. Ball, executive di­sector and general counsel of the Pennsylvania Catholic Welfare Committee, said there has been .... marked increase in senti ­ment" favoriIig inclusion of pri ­Yate schools in any Federal aid program.

"This shift is evident not only In the opinion polls. It is in the air, he said in a speech at the biennial legislative meeting of t'he Ohio Catholic Welfare Con­ference..

"Prominent persons who op­posed the Catholic positiou, just ~o years ago have now spoken out in favor of various typeS of aid-aid such as tax deductions, scholarship programs and shared ~e," Ball noted.

Sees Four Factors-He explained that this change

bas been due to four factors: . 1) A more widespread under­

lltanding of Catholic education. 2) A new awareness of con­

Iltitutional questions involved. 3) An increase in public con.

leiousness of the importance of education.

4) A realization of the impor. tance of religion in education.

The recent Supreme Court de. elsion in which the New York lehool prayer was outlawed has bed a "traumatic effect on mil· • ns," Ball said.

He explained that out of the eoncern generated by the ruling bes come a realization that the thurch-related school in Amer­In is a ''truly noble thing,"

'Mounting Concern' "Moreover," he noted, "there

bas been mounting concern by members of all religious groups OVer the buildup of pressure for .... extremist interpretation on the constitutional concept of sep­..ation of Church and Sta~an interpretation which foreshad­ows the total secularization of American society."

Ball criticized "certain por­tions" of the American press for 08ricaturing opponents of the leCent school prayer ruling by Cbe Supreme Court.

"Invariably those who oppose Gte decision are pictUred - in print and on film-as violently pro-segregation southerners," he said.

This is unfair and inaccurate GIl two eounts, Ball explained:

"First, because those who op­pose the ruling-regardless of what part of the country they ..e from-are undoubtedly sin­oere in their convictions.

"And second, because many longtime proponents of civil rights have found the decision as clistasteful as anyone else.

Says Cuba Situation Helps Red Leaders

CINCINNATI (NC)-Ex-com­munist Douglas Hyde said here that the situation in Cuba is' a source of strong encouragement to hard-core communist leaders throughout Latin America.

"Cuba shows them," said the former editor of the London Daily Worker, "that it is possi­ble for communism to come to power without being the dom­inant party, and that a revolu­tionary regime can be main­tained by aid from the Sino­Soviet bloc."

congressmen described educa­tion as a wise national invest­

The bills were introduced by Sen. Kenneth B. Keating of New York and Reps. John E. Fogarty of. Rhode Island and Paul G. Rogers of Florida. A number of similar· proposals have been sponsored by other congressmen.

Fogarty's bill would allow a deduction for educational ex­penses up to $200 per month. Keating's more modest measure would put an annual ceiling of $300 per .individual on allowable deductions. Rogers' bill would apply only to higher education expenses.

Fogarty, in a statement in the appendix to the Congressional Record, said "it is in the national interest that all young people complete the highest level of

He cited a question, "What are the most challenging problems facing business in the new year?" asked in a poll by a business review and said none of the re­sponses said anything about humanizing business. Few who write and speak about busi'ness address themselves to this need, he added.

"Those citizens who support the public schools through tax­ation and' also bear the ·burden of educating their children in private schools and colleges are behalf of education," he said.

Deplores Disunity Among Christians

. CLEVELAND (NC) - A Pax Romana official said here that a long range hope of the Second Vatican Council is ail elimina­tion of the "scandalous" compe.. tion among Christian sects in mission lands.

Maurice A. Maggi, adult di­rector of Pax Romana, an inter­national Catholic organization which represents most college student groups, which has head­quarters in Fribourg, Switzer. land, is one of several laymen engaged in preparing Catholic youth for the increasing ecumen­ical movement in the Church.

He said 'in mission countries where natives have never heard of Christ, they hear of Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans and others preaching the "Gospel of love" while throwing verbal brickbats at each other.

for Expense since education is at least as im. portant a basis for producing

. income as is investment in phys­ical capital,"

Rogers said in a statement that "our national survival may well depend on this nation's ability to train its most precious resource--brainpowet," .

Demand for Relief The Florida Congressman said

"many capabl-e stUdents" are prevented from obtaining a col­lege education by rising costs of education.·

Keating took the occasioll of the introduction of his bill to urge t.he Senate in a speech to give "earnest attention to the widespread demand for some sort of relief for educational' ex­penses,"

He said the government should overlook no bets in seeking to foster "investment in education" as a means of gaining "dividends for our people and our nation in the years ahead."

Keating's bill would aU'lw taxpayers to claim deductions for educational expenses at any legitimate school, including pri ­vate and parochial institutions.

Catholic School Closing Affects Public System

WILLIAMSPORT (N C ) - The public school super­intendent her e expressed concern over the announce­ment that 50-year-old St. Mary's High School in this Pennsylvania eommunity will be discontinued JD June, leaving 208 students to be absorbed in the public high lebool system. .

Jrlsgr. Leo J. Post, pastor, an­nounced that the Catholic school will close because' the Sisters of Christian Charity,' .will discon­tinue to staff the classrooms.

Clyde H. Wurster, superin­tendent of the area public .chools, said it is too early to assess fully what impact the closing will have on the public lehool system. He said 125 of the students will be absorbed in Williamsport High School and the others in neighboring senior and junior high schools.

He estimated about six new teachers must be hired, and ad­ditional instructional materials, furniture and other needs will eall for about a $50,000 added expense to the public schools as a result of the closing. He said the public senior and junior high schools already are crowded and the closing will worsen the situation.

Love-of, G~ Religious Contribute to Diocese With Kindergartens in Four Parishes

By Patricia' McGowan

A new chapter in the five year history of the Sisters of the Love of God in the Diaces~ opened last week when eight novices of the congregaticm arrived in Mattal'oi­sett from Spain. .They will complete their novitiate at St. Anthony's convent in that ::ommunity. Beginning on a very small scale indeed, in New Bedford in'1958 with two

primary youngsters; right, Sister Mary, Sister Mary Geneyieve and Mother Mary Faith, superior, make vestments. All ""l'"A "1: convent in 'Our Lady of Assumption parish, New Bedford.

Sisters who could speak no English, the congregation's representation here now in­cludes 24 members inaddi­lion to the eight newly-arrived novices. .

They ;tte stationed at their original post in New Bedford's Our Lady of the Assumption parish and are also at St. Peter the Apostle, Provincetown; St. Anthony's, Mattapoisett; and St. Mary's, Fairhaven. In all these locations they are operating kindergartens and teaching cate­chism.

The Sisters have convents at Mattapoisett, Provincetown and in New Bedford, with the Fair­haven religious living at Matta­poisett. They are also active at Regina Pacis, New Bedford center for Puerto Ricans; and for two months they helped Cuban refugee children at St. Mary's Home in New Bedford adjust to English-speaking life.

Founder Was Exile Superiors at the three con­

vents are Mother Mary Faith in New Bedford; Mother Angelus at Mattapoisett and Mother Louisa at Provincetown.

The Religious of the Love of God have their motherhouse in Zamora, Spain and number some 1,500 members in Europe, Africa and the Americas. They origi­nally came to Fall River Diocese through the efforts of Rev. Ed­mund Francis, SS.CC., pastor at St. 'Mary's' Fairhaven, who learned of their work during a visit to the Cape Verde Islands.

The community was founded in 1864 by a Cistercian monk, Jeronimo Usoro y Alarcon. Driven from his monastery during the Spanish revolution of 1635, he worked in exile as a missionary to Africa, then to Puerto Rico and Cuba.

During this time he conceived catechetical activities, the .sis­the idea of an order dedicated to ter. in this Diocese have done education of needy children and 'sewing for tbe Fathers of the when he was able .to return to Spain he laid the foundation for such a community. History re­peated itself when some mem­bers of the Love of God Reli­gious were, like their founder, exiled during the present Cuban unrest.

The Sisters, again like their founder, are especially active in work with Negroes and in Latin America. They teach all grades from kindergarten upward and operate all types of social wel­fare houses.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese ~f Fall River-Thurs. April 11, 19636

Paradox of Christianity The paradox of Christianity was apparent on the Sec­

ond Sunday of Passiontide and is encountered at every turn as Christians relive, with Christ, the salvation plan of the Father during this Holy Week.

This week began Sunday with the procession - th.e sign of success, of achievement, of victory. But the pro­cession was headed by the cross - the symbol of pain, of agony, of death.

And that is. Christianity's paradox - success coming through pain, victory coming through agony, life coming through death. .

As Christ told the disciples on the road to Emmaus, it was necessary that the Savior endure all these things that He might enter into the glory of the Father. "

The same is necessary for Christians. Holy Week calls upon them to die - "Know you not

that you are dead, and your lives are hidden with Christ in God." .

Christianity is 'not simply a creed or a code or a cult. Christianity is Christ - a Person. And Christ means the cross.

Christians must die to themselves, to whatever in them is opposed to Christ, to the part of them that is un­worthy and ignoble and unChrist-like.

That is the "putting on Christ" that St. Paul exhorts his brothers in the Church to do.

Nothing else is Christian. Nothing else leads to newness of life, to resurrection.

Resources and 2000 A.D. An organization supported by the Ford Foundation,

Resources for the Future, Inc., has just released the results of a five-year study. Purpose of .the study was just what the name indicates - to determine what the condition of the United States will be by the year 2000.

Although the population of the country will grow to 331 million persons, Americans will be living in relative luxury with a living standard even higher than that which is now enjoyed.

The prophets of doom and gloom, the advocates of . artificial and unnatural limitation of the birth rate, will find little to either comfort them or support their stand from the report.

These individuals - acting in a concerted effort to frighten Americans with the prospects of a burgeoning population without adequate means of support - will .be highly disappointed to read that the resources of the country will more than support the population. The only area where there might be some cause for concern is in water, and the report assumes that the country will make pro­visions to guarantee an adequate supply.

Indeed, the report states that there is no technical reason why the resources of the country 'cannot ta~e care of the increasing population.

It seems, then, that the advocates of birth control have lost another round - not on· moral reasons, which they cannot seem to see as involved in the matter, but on the basis of statistics.

Seeing All in. God Again and again the newspapers report such comments

by non-Catholic ministers as this: "Pope John will be re­membered as one of the truly great Popes of· the Rome Church's history, the man who made the greatest imprint on world affairs in 1962. I do not agree with the theology of the Roman Church, but I praise God for the spirit and Christ-like charactet; of its head."

This particular quote is from a talk by a Presbyterian minister in Northern Ireland. It is typical of the sentiment that is being repeated constantly. ~

One man has ·changed the religious environment of the entire world and has breathed into Christians a spirit of charity that makes many blush to think of the bitterness that existed just a few years ago.

And the Pope's encyclical on peace, issued this week, is one more step taken by this Christ-like character to infuse Christ into the lives of men and nations and to bring men to the ancient Hebrew way of looking at all of history ~ not seeing God in· all things but, rather, seeing all things in God.­

GREAT LAKES (NC) ­~ome 38 per cent-about 22,800-of the 60,000 men who graduate yearly -from 1!le Great Lakes Naval Training Center. are Catholics.

This estimate came from fig­. 1Il'es compiled in an annual cen. sus by Father (Capt.) Donald Kelly, senior' chaplain at· the world's largest naval training center.

Father Kelly, a priest of the Chicago archdiocese, said an ad­ditional 8,300 Catholics are among the .22,000 naval person­;nel who graduate annually from one of the 16 technical or spe­clalizedschools of the Service School Command here.

Father KellY .said ·the large number of Catholics in training here and the .rapid turnover 'among them means '''a perpetual men's mission" -:for the four Catholic chaplains.

The priest' distribute 4,000 Communions each Sunday, he said.

Chaplain Shortage

The chaplain noted that a spe­cial Mass is offered once each week for Catholics graduating from the -m.ining center at that time. At the Mass each sailor receives a departure blessing.

Father Kelly remarked that 'fhe chaplains here "hate to see these men leave" because a shortage of chaplains means that many of them will be as­signed to posts where no priest is availabe.

He said the chaplain shortage is particularly acute at present because of retirements among priests . who have served with the Navy since before World War II.

Worthwhile Recipes Continued .:from Page Six

Meaningful (?) Habits Isn't it surprisig to realize

that many of our Easter habits are actually founded in the' Church's intent to teach this as­sociation of Baptism and Easter? New Easter clothes, the Easter Parade, etc., all were rooted in

. the happy practice of commemo­rating the happiest .moment of a creature's life: adoption as a son of God!

The custom of putting a white garment on a newly baptised Christian refered to the vesting of the new Christians in white linen. ~n early days, they would walk down into a baptismal font and be completely sub­merged. in water (still done in many Eastern cnurches). Upon their arising, they would put on new white linen robes. The linen robes because of their richness and their color would signify even better what .had happened only a few minutes earlier in the font. The new' Christians would then wear these clothes proudly .for the entire Easter Week. On the 101­lowing Sunday (''in albis") the Christians would come to the services in white :for the first time. '

Re-evaluation Needed We have kept so many of

these wonderful customs. But today they are lifeless for we do not animate them with their true meaning. New clothes are fine, but why? Because you are using the occasion to proudly celebrate your Baptism or to keep up with the Jones (or even outstrip them).

On the Night of Nights when we celebrate the rising of Our Lord and all that that. means to His Church, the renewal of the Baptismal Promises must be real, heartfelt, resolute. Satur­day night 1963 CAN be an im­portant stepping stone in our spiritual lives - CAN if we want it to.

If successful, he'll be able to make a beginning on a new building for St. Joseph's High School in Loikaw. It will accommodate boys :from poor villages surrounding the town­boys who are nomipally Catholic but whose poverty denies them the opportunity of learning more about their :faith. _

'The Brothers of the Christian Schools, to whom Brother Cel­estine belongs, have already stretched their resources to ca­pacity to aocommodate as many youngsters as possible in exist ­ing facilities; but .given a little help they could bring the advan­tages of Catholic education to many more.

Foom Blessed Sacrament A native of Blessed Sacrament

parish in Fall River, Brother Celestine was early introduced to the Brothers of the Christian Schools, attending St. Anne's parochial school when it was staffed by members of that -com­munity.

At the same time, he said, the Dominican Sisters were also operating a school1n the parish. As a little boy, he attended their institution and stin visits a for­mer teacher, Sister Louis Marie, on his home visits.

The missionary-left Fall River in 1916, going to Canada to live With an uncle. There he entered the brotherhood in 1920, and taught in various Canadian insti ­tutes of the community .until 1938, when he was assigned to Hong Kong. Staying there for three years, his next station was in Burma, where he has re­mained ever since.

In Burma, he says, the Broth­ers operate eight high schools, with one including two years of college. The largest school, in Rangoon, has 4,500 boys--and no discipline problem!

Although classes average 60 to 70 students, "you can walk by the door and never know any­one's in the room," says Brother Celestine. He doesn't think this situation at all remarkable, com­menting calmly "We have our

.ways of teaching. It's our job, and we know how to train the ,bOYS."

The regime is one of love, he notes. "We don't use the rod and we find that if -the boys like their teachers, there'.s no trou­ble."

Funds Lacking At Brother Celestine's school

in the center of Burma the staff includes 15 lay teachers and four Brothers-but payday for the laymen is sometimes a problem­atical thing. Frequently there just isn't money in the treasury to pay them. on -time.

Kayah, -where Brother Celes­tine is assigned, is considered Catholic, but is the only one of Burma's five states that is. The country is divided into eight Dioceses.

The Fall River missionary is on a three month home visit, planning to return to Burma in June. While here, he is available

•for lectures and can be reached 'through his brother, J. A. Morin of 139 Liberty Street in Fall River. His telephone number is OSborne 4-3127.

Many Activities In Burma, Brother Celestine's

assignments include care of the community's sacristy, .bookshop, livestock and sweetshop. The latter duty is very important to the boys, who range in age irom kindergarteners through lllgh schoolers.

On one occasion, chuckled the Brother, he received a package of lollipops from the States. The boys had never seen this type of candy, but lost no time in pro­nouncing it delightful, and the entire lollipop stock was gone in a matter of minutes.

A pet prQject of Brother Cel­estine's is Our Lady of the Star Rosary Club. He has some 3000,-. aa members. They make

Easter Means Ga'y Combination Of Spiritual With Mundane

Love Is Woman's Role in Life 'MIAMI (NC)--A family life

expert says the American woman may become confused by her role in life, but the answer is a "simple one of love."

Msgr. John C. Knott, director of the Family Life Bureau, Na­tional Catholic Welfare Confer­ence, told a leadership training institute of the National Council of Catholic Women here that the American woman too often drives herself to' fulfill all the expectations modern society has in her.

"When she doesn't, as she won't," he stated, "she feels guilty, frustrated, an~ dissatis­fied with her whole lot in life. Essentially, her role is the sim­ple one of love." " , '

Msgr. Knott sc'lid "her role ill always, through 'lov'e, to perfect the order of creation. With a husband arid God in'marriage, it is usually' to initiate creation through love and to continue 1lo perfect it in her children."

"In this role of love; her dig­nity lies in the fact that she is the' image and likeness' of 'God, of whom St. John said simply"';' 'God is love'," the Monsignor said.

"No action of hers is without value," he added, "no word is meaningless, no gesture is aim­less if done with love. Whatever else be her claim to fame, it is only in love that she glorifies God, insures the happiness of others and her own sanctity."

Remind$ Contentious Parents Children Are Sacred Trust ,

By Father John L. Thomas, S.J. A8st. Soelolon Prof.-St. Louis UDiversltJ'

"My wife and I can't seem to agree on how to raise our children. Right now the major bone of contention is our 16-year-old daughter. My wife claims the girl can wrap me around her little 'finger and get anything she wants from .me. She also claims I andermine her authority as a mother by allowing her to go out or date against .her mother's wishes. I feel that my wife tends to be too strict in this regard, but that's not the main problem. How do you deal with a womam who thinks she's al ­ways rig h t?" You r problem IDustrates 0 n e poi n t that is oft e n over­looked in dis­cussing marital adjustment, Jack. Children can separate a couple' as well as anite them.

Perhaps it would come closer to the truth to say that children may become a buffer as well as -. bond; that is, if a couple fail to work out a good adjustment as partners, they may tend, to see their children either as a primary source of individual consolation or as pawns to be manipulated in getting .even with each other.

Both tendencies are escapes from the couple's real problem, and both ignore the sacred obli ­gation to regard children as per. eons in' their own right rather than as things at the service of others.

CI'UI 01 Problem ' I think your last question in­

dicates the real crux of yoUr problem - "How do you deal with a woman who thinks she's always right?" As one of myoId professors used to say, "That's a mighty fine question!",

What's the answer? WeIl",ln a concrete case, one would first have to know whether the per­eon in question really thought ehe was always right.

Some wives give this impres­Ilion either because they never eonsult their husbands, or be­cause they have tried and re­ceive no advice, or because they or their partner ---., or both ­have never learned how to dis­cuss a problem on the basis of its objective merits. '

lD1n!ediate Problenm In other words, some partners

say they never bother to consult their mates because it doesn't do any good - either they get no answer, or discussion has always proved fruitless.

Their partners would prob­ably retort that they don't give any advice because experience has shown it wouldn't be taken, and discussion is bound to be fruitless when one partner has already decided what the out­come must be. '

Although the basic issue be­tween you and your wife is not primarily disagreement con­cerning how to raise your chil ­dren, this is an important, im­mediate problem and its solution may point the way toward. a better understanding of the real .aurce of trouble.

Basic- Princi~1e

GOd bas confided your ehi1­dren to you .. a sacred tnut. Consequently, the fundamental bOnn determining your deci­_ODS as parents must be what ,"00 prudently judge Is be.t far them ;as persons· to l>e brought to maturity under your guid­ance.

This is one principle upoa which you and your wife mUll .gree or you will answer to God tor It. ..

It1 'other worda, your ~ JOint in reaching parental de­eisions mat aJw&1W be u..

same - what is best for the full Christian development of your children.

You may disagree in applying this principle in individual cases, and this will call for sincere dis­cussion and compromise; but the principle itself is not open to question.

Primary Concern How should you tackle' your

immediate problem? First you should be aware that there are several factors in your favor. Your wife seems prudently con­cerned about your daughter's social activities, so you don't have to contend with the typical mother-daughter combination in this regard.

Also, your children apparently have been taught to respect your authority and come to yo~ for. various permissions.

Second, you' should weigh thoughtfully your wife's conten­tion that you undermine her authority. Per hap s without thinking, or because you feel she is too independent, you have countermanded her orders arbi­trarily and without considering their mer(ts.

This is wrong - the good of your children should be your primary concern. You must find other ways of settling your dif­ferences as a couple.

Discussion Compromise Third, have you and your wife

ever discussed or developed an overall plan relating to the social activities of your children at the various stages of their development?

.A.t what ages should they start ,dating? How often? With whom? Under 'what conditions? With what preparation, instruction, guidance, etc?

Through discussion and com­promise - always with the in­dividual child's best interests in view - you must reach some 'agreement on' these questions, for routine, day-to-day, con­sistent decisions can logically be made only in terms of this over­

'all plan. Ur~es United Front

Fourth, whatever your per­,sonal disagreements, you and your wife must present a united front in dealing with your children, or they will use your perceived' differences to their, advantage, as your wife insists your daughter is now doing.

Children should be raised with the awareness that their parents are partners in running the family, not competitors for their children's affection.

Finally, you and your wife must keep in mind that the seriousness of your parental obligations demands that you reconcile yout:' personal differ­ences in dealing with your chil- ' dren.

Children are a sacred trust, not sources of personal gratifi ­cation or pawns to be manipu­lated by parents in a continuing struggle for dominance.

sighted to deny Federal educa­tion aid to church-related and other private schools.

Carl N. Degler says that prl. vate schools are permanently a part of American education, and denial of Federal help will force them to give a second-class edu­cation to millions of citizens.

This result, he says, would be a "high social price" to pay for "adamant refusal to grant some government support to denomi­national schools."

Degler, who expresses his views in the Vassar Alumnae magazine, identifies himself as a non-Catholic In his article.

The professor says that inclu­sion of church-related schools in Federal aid proposa.ls appears to bim as "constitutionally pos­sible" because the assistance would "only incidentally aid re­bgion while pursuing a large social purpose."

Noting the sacrif'ices that Catholics have made to establish and maintain their school sys­tems, Degl~r writes that "a sympathetic understanding of the burdens which a Catholic's con­science imposes upon him is a far better way to insure social amity than the continued asser­tion by non-Catholics that the Catholic sacrifice is beyond mitigation."

Reunion Cardinal Eager to Revisit United States

WASHINGTON (NC) The Cardinal of Reunion likes the United States and its people and would like to see more of both when the Ecu­menical Council closes.

.­

Eighty-one-year old Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., who in 10 days in the U. S. followed a schedule that would have tired many a younger man, said on the day of 'his departure for Rome: "I hope that after the 'Council I can come again and see other universities and other states."

As a matter of fact the head of the . Vatican's Secretariat for. Promoting Christian Unity has some "unfinished business" to take care of in this country in regard to universities.

He was invited to speak at some 70 colleges and universi ­. - ties, many of them non-Catholic,'­

. but had to decline most of the

.- . invitations. Concern for Unity .

The slight, energetic Cardinal said shortly before his departure that he was "very pleased with his trip to the States." ____

"I have always admired Amer­ican Catholicism," he said, "and DOW I have a new proof of' it." He also said that he "was moved by the quiet concern for Chris-' tian unity" in this country,- and" "especially pleased by the co­operation of non-Catholics." .

6'. ,. During his stay iii the' U. S., the Jesuit Cardiqal spoke at BOS:­ton· College, ·delivered three lec~ tures" at an interfaith colloC{ium at Harvard University, journey­ed from there to New York for • brotherhood' dinner, then to Baltimore to speak three times and offer Mass, and concluded his stay with a lecture at the Catholic University of America.

Denies Report , Despite his close schedule;

Cardinal Bea managed to give three press conferences.

At one of them he made clear that his visit to the U. S. was l10t of "diplomatic" character. A statement issued in his behalf described as "a mere invention"

. a national magazine's report that he had come to this country "with a private diplomatic mis­

....mon from Pope JohnY The Cardinal did. have a mis­

mon, but it was on a much larger oIeale. His purpose was to stress the importance of Christian unity, and he did so .with a jack­hammer persistency that, be­eause of the charity underlying the I)1essage, was in no way ;jarring.

Supports' New T~xes

For Public Schools ST. LOUIS (NC)-Joseph Car­

dinal Ritter has urged Catholics to support' the 29-cent tax pro­posal for St. Louis public school ·maintenance. It will be voted on 'next Tuesday. '

"Risihg costs' make this tax­necessary," the' Archbishop of St..Louis said. "The increase is urgently needed if the schools are to maintain an adequate level of education.

"In these times, when educa­tion is essential to the freedom we hold so precious, all children .

. must .have the 'opportunity of obtaining it-not only for their own sakes, but for the sake of the community at large. We cannot be negligent to our own future citizens."

Cardinal Denies Time Magazine Assertion

WASHINGTON (NC) Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., described as "a mere inven­tion" a magazine's report that he had corrie to the U.S. "with a private diplomatic mis­sion from Pope John."

The President of the Secre­tariat for Promoting Christian Unity had a special statement issued on his behalf in which he denied the report, published in the April 5 issue of Time magazine, on the day of his de­parture for Rome. The state­ment was given to the press at the Washington National Airport shortly before the Jesuit Cardi­nal enplaned for New York en route to Rome. That morning he had received an honorary de­gree from the Catholic Univer­sity of America.

Invent,on The statement Issued on be­

half of the C~rdinal said: "Re­garding the news published by Time magazine in the April 5 issue about a supposed 'private diplomatic mission from Pope John,' His Eminence Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., following a convocation at the Catholic Un· iversity today, stated 'that the mission attributed to him is a mere invention.'

"In fact the Cardinal said h~

had Jl() diplomatic mission what­,soever and moreover he never made the statement to 'a friend in Rome 'before his trip' also men~ioned in the Time. article."

, Denial

The Time magazine article had stated· that "through unofficial intermediaries (Cardinal Bea will let the 'White House know the reasoning be h i n d Pope John's surprising new willing­ness to negotiate with com­munism, perhaps explain what further diplomatic moves are afoot."

The magazine then quoted the Cardinal as making this remark to a friend in Rome before his U.S. trip: ~'The U.S. is angry now. I'm afraid they will soon be angrier."

Cardinal Bea has flatly'denied,these' assertions. '

Process of Beatification ,Becomes More Difficult

By Most Re-v. Robert J. Dwyu. D. D. Bishop of Reno

The beatification of Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton. the other day. brought joy to the heart of every American Catholic. It wa~ a culmination of a long process, still to be crowned by the solemnity of her canonization, and it represented the _work of

t 'th' years spen m e mmute and meticulous examination of her life and writings, of her personality and her judg­ments, of her credentials for

.sanctity, no less than in the

. scrutiny of the miracles attrib­

. uted to her in­tercession. The Church is never iii. 0 r e exhaus­tive than in her testing of those proposed for the honors of her altars. It seems, actually,

\ - that an item which delayed the process of Mother Seton (like the Venerable Bede it is unlikely that we shall ever quite get 'Used to calling her by her proper title) was the fact that the good priest who gave her conditional Baptism in old St. Peter's Church on Barclay Street, New York, simply forgot to record the event in the parish books. . A lesson this for all absent­minded cl~rygnien, who might thus unwittingly obstruct the

_ c:anonical process for other celes­tial candidates. A small matter, yet fraught with large responsi­bilities.

Modern Martyrs I It may be questioned, how-

I ever, whether in time to come It will be possible for the Church to document the acts of her mar­tyrs and confessors at least to the extent heretofore deemed necessary.

We are thinking, for example, of those countless holy sou~ who gave up their lives-or who are even now saerificing them-in the teeth of our modern tyran. nics. It is estimated that approx. imately one million Christi!1ns were martyred in the persecu. tions of the Early Church, pal'" ticularly ill that of Diocletian, who brought the bloody business to its climax.

B t it .- tter of u ... ama canon law affecting us here below that the Church should conf~ her canonization, process to her own children. It is, so to speak, a household affair.

Final Attitude Many of these, almost· certain.

ly, died as saints and martyrs. But as to the circumstances of their fi~al witness, how they died, how they behaved them­selves in their last moments, there is literally nothing. There is nothing quite so horrible in human history as the story of the death camps of Austria and Poland. There was the utter ne· gation of everything human, the stripping away of the last ves­tige .of man's dignity. .

MISS Hannah Aren~t, speakmg for the Jews who .dIed in th~se charnel~houses, refers to the SID­gular llstlessness which seemed to prevail ~mong the condemned, as though It were a matter of no importance that they were to be simpl~ herded li~e naked cattle to their doom.

And d.oubteless much of the same' attItude was found among those of the ~atholic faith who also walked mto the gas cham. bers on their. own f~t.

• Edith Stem Who knows, for example, what

h~ppend to Edith Stein after she disappeared. fr,?m hu.man ker.t? \yha: e:cleSlastlcal trIbunal, Sit­tmg 10 JUdgm~nt upo~ her case, can declare With confIdence that she died heroically, and 90 should be numbered among the great martyrs of the ages? ,

,And how many Edit? Steins were there, nuns an.d·Priests. and lay p~ple, who SImply dlSap. peared lI~to the fearful darkness of the .mght? For how many is that mght still an ever-present menace? .

. Question Rematn:s Smce we are not .asslgned to

the.Sacred Congre.gatIon of Rites, which has to. do With all :h~ c~m. plicated busmess of beatification and canonization,"we car;mot ar-

Not all of those who died thus' gue from any personal IDvolve­• • were saints ipso facto though it

may be su'pposed th~t a great many of the nameless ones come in for special mention in heaven on All Saints' Day. Some may have died regretting their deci. sion' we have no way of know­ing 'really

, Left Record But the point is that these peo.

pie died, or were martyred, in such a way as to preserve their human integrity right up to the end, in such a way as to im. ,press history _ represented by the very bystanders _ by their courage or their cowardice.

They made a mark, they left a record. They were saints or sinners. Modern methods have successfully done away with all this.

Bow many victims did the Nazl-Communist persecution of the single d"ecade, 1935-1945, ac­count for? It is fairly well estab­Ushed that between five and six million .Jews were sacrificed. to Hitler's insane policy at geno­dde, and it is reasonablY certain t'hatthe Christians, 'principally, Palish, who were similarly' done away with in the death campll, total more- than .two :miIilon.

We do not suggest here, inci. dentally, ·that only the Christians who died 'thus .have received the' honors of heaven--so much more .tlsfactory even than the 'hon­or. of the Church.

One wonders It we 'are not too hard on 8t. Thomas, the Apostle who said he wpuld not believe until he could see the marks of nails In the Banels and Feet of Our LOrd and the scar In HIs Side. Was he not asking for a sign that Our Lord was cUfferent from the rest of men' Everyone else was wlUlDg to aeeept a teacher, a master, a wonder-worker and a liver of breacl.Not so Thomas. Be wanted nothin&' less than a Savior. And how else J!Vould the Conqueror of- Sin be known except bl' wounds suffered on the battlefield In the war against evil' The only kind of love that Thomas would accept was a'Beavenll' Cupid who carried in the quiver of Bis salvation arrow. tha& wounded Selt for the sake of HIs love of humanity.

Thomas was indeed a doubter, for he did not accept the testimony of the other Apostles who witnessed the Resurrection. Bat Thomas should live not just asa doubter, but as the spokesman' of broken hearts and anxious minds, for he would accept no other God but Him Who stumbled to a' throne. And if was only the Wounded Christ Who appealed to Thomas, so also it is only the Wounded Church that will appeal to the world. A Christ without scars would never have conquered the Roman Empire' and a Church without scars will never ~ilquer Asia and Africa.

Now that Lent is over, let there not be a return to old ways of life, for even the Risen Christ ou Easter wore not '" wounds but scars. We beg you, then, to . be scarred Christians - scarred in hands from sacrifices; scarred in fe~t fpom wandering in thought out, of your prosperous America to the hungry Asiatics; scarred in side, as your heart is wounded not in g.etting but in giving. The reason missionaries make more conver~, than we do in the United States Is because they have more scars of poverty, suffering and' need. If we have not made any conv.erts here at home, may we scar ourselves to make them in Asia and Africa, where wounds are more oPen hearts more broken and bodies more crucified! '

IPapal 'Encyclicail S.eeks Peace Based

Continued from Page Ons . The encyclieal's five main

parts deal with: order between men, rl!lations between indivi­duals and public authorities in a single state, relations among states, relations of human beingsand of political communities with the world community, and pasto.ral exhortations. .

The encyclical's preamble con­tr.asts the marvelous order of the universe with the disorder ex­istiilg among men. This, the Pope noted, points up the error made by many who think "that relationships between men and

i:~~S l~~s b: g~oe:e:o:;;n~:s the forces and irrational ele­mentsof the universe."

On the contrary, the Pope eaid, the laws governing men are lIIuite different from those gov­

erning brutenatux-e and are to 'be found where the .Father of an things wrote them; that is, in the nature of man. Since the prob­. lem of peace is rooted in man's

\ I nature, it is fitting that his

words should be addressed to an men and not to 'Catholics alone, the Pope said.

. Founded in Truth

The basic principle of the en­eyclical, as outlined in the first part, is that every human being is a person with rights - and duties. Society can be considered to be founded on truth when the rights and duties .of each subject ,to each other are sincere­]y recognized, it states. Justice

" rules that society when it 'pro­vides for effectual 'respect of those rights and loyal fulfill ­ment of the corresponding duties.

Charity must enter to com­"'(' plete and vivify spciety and to Jnsure mutual cooperation based en the essential social nature of human beings, the encyclical states. Moreover, this society must be based on freedom which respects the dignity of man when he takes on responsibility for his own actions.

These qualitielr-truth, justice, eharity and freedom-pertain to the moral order, the Pope said" and therefore such an order has as its objective foundation ·the one true God.

, .

on Mora:ls Relations Between States

Applying the moral law to relations between states, the Pope said that such relations Ipust be harmonized in truth and justice, in working solidarity and freedom.

Truth requires, in relations between states, the elimination "of every trace of racism." This recognizes the "principle that all political communities are equal in natural dignity."

Noting that human beings are essentially equal despIte dif­ferences in knowledge, virtue, riches ()r genius, the Pope"llaid:"Political communities can differ among themselves in their level of culture, civilization or economic ,development.

"But this can never justify the fact that some states .should make their superiority prevailunfairly over others. It can con­stitute instead .a reason for them to feel more committed to the task of general improvement.

"There are no human beingswho by nature are superior. or inferior, but all human beings are equal in their natural dig-<nity: Consequently, neither are,

these pol i tic a I communitiel! which by nature are inferior. All political communities are equal in their natural .dignity since they are bodies whose lir.:bs are formed by human

beings themselves:" Justice Desirable

Touching oil justice in rela­tions between states, the Pope said that, although desirable, ,it

.is not always possible that t~e geographical frontiers of a na­ti"n coincide with ethnic fron­tiers. But he added:

"It must be stated most ex­plicitly that an action directed toward constraining or suffo­eating the vital flow of minor­ities is a grave violation of jus­tice and it is all the more so when it is perfonned with the aim of eliminating them."

Rather, the Pope said, justice requires nations to promote the "human development of minor­ities through effective means which favor their language, their culture, their customs and their economic r'esources and undertaking." Activesolidari~' among na­

tions requires each state to re­spect and foster the good of its own community as a component part of the common good of the whole human fa mil y. This means that they should favor international exchanges in every field, the Pontiff said.

InterJlerence Dangerous Freedom requires ·that no state

impose itself on another or in­terfere unduly in the internal affairs of another, the Pope de­elared. This applies particularly to countries in the process of development he said and cited his words in Mater et Magistra which stress that development.. of these' countries is primarily their responsibility.

Applying his remarks'to the immediate present, the Pope noted that while fear still reigns among nations "there is reason to hope that, by meeti6g and negotiating, men may come to discover better the bonds that unite them, derivi.ng from the human nature which they have in common. They may also come to -discover that one ·of the most profound requirements of their common nature is this: that be­tween them and their respective peoples It is not fear which should reign but love."

Common Good of World The fourth part of the ency­

clicalconsiders thEl problems of the common good of the entire world.

The Pope said three character-. tstics of modern society give him hope for a society permeated by these principles. He listed these as the progress made by the working classes, the participa­tion of women in public life and . the' widely held conviction of the 'equal natural dignity of all men.

Pope Hopeful These characteristics make him

hopeful, the Pope .said, because '''if a man becomes conscious of' his rights, he must become equally aware of his duties." And this brings . man into the sphere of spiritual values, he added. "They are brought to a better knowledge of the trite God who is personal and transcend­ent,and thus they make the ties

. that bind them to God, the solid foundations and supreme cri. terion of their lives." .

Turning to relations. between men and the civil state, the Pope said that the purpose of public authorities is to promote the common good. This .consists con­eretely in assuring the respect, acknowledgement, coordination, efficaciousness and protection of the rights of the human person as well in promoting them, the Pontiff said.

But he stated that a careful balance must be observed to avoid a situation where "cer­tain individuals or social groups derive special advantage from the fact that 'their rights have received preferential protection" or that "governments, in seeking' to protect these rights, become obstacles to their full expression and free use." loy faced and solved unless by a .

Pacem in Terris Encyclical Theme of Pontiff1s Reign

VATICAN CITY (NC) -The Holy Week encyclical of Pope John is the cap-stone of the Pon­tiff's life-long effort to beckon men and nations to peace.

His blueprint to guide all men of good will who wish to make a personal contribution toward peacl!! climaxes a constant theme not only in his life as Pope, but from his days as a youthful chaplain on the front lines dur­ing World War I.

As Pope, he has pleaded for peace virtually from the moment of his election. His first public address-delivered only hours after he was chosen Pope in October, 1958 - asked world leaders to hear and reply to the appeals of their people for peace.

His personal understanding of men's desire for peace was sharpened when he saw the hor­rors of war first-hand in 1915 as a medical orderly and later chaplain in the Italian Army.

The 34-year·old priest-drafted from his quiet life as secretary to the bishop in his home town of Bergamo and a professor at the local seminary-never forgot what he saw and experienced.

Still obviously moved by the recollection of it as he neared his 78th year in 1959, he told an audience then:

"The service we performed as chaplain in wartime hospitals is unforgettable. It allowed Us to gather from the groans of the wounded and sick the universal aspiration ior peace, the su­preme good for mankind."

This aspiration guided the Pontiff during· World War II which he spent as Apostolic

. Delegate to Greece and Turkey, a post to which he was assigned in 1934 and held until 1944.

Saved Jews From his headquarters in Is­

tanbul, then-Archbishop Ron­calli, lent continued assistance

to Jewish rescue missions, saving many Jews from persecution by Slovak, Bulgarian and Hungar-, ian nazis. Among his actions was a successful 'effort to divert a shipload of Jewish children from what would have been a tragic destination.

Every Christmas address given by Pope John has stressed p'eace and has urged all to pray for it. He speaks of it constantly in audiences. His solemn documents reflect his concern. In all, he has renewed his impassioned plea on more than 30 occasions.

Cuban Crisis In October of' 1962 he made a

surprise broadcast the day after the United States announced its blockade against offensive weap­ons in Red Cuba and during the time the Red Chinese intensified their invasion of India.

The Pontiff begged political leaders to continue negotiations. "Let them do everything in their power to save peace," Pope John said. "By so doing, they will spare the' world the horrors of a war that would have disastrous consequences such as nobody could foresee * * * Let them con­tinue to negotiate * * * at all lev­els and at all times."

As the immediate threat of armed conflict over the Cuban crisis eased, the Pope told a gen­eral audience on Oct. 31 tha,t "peace is knocking at our doors."

The Pontiff's concern for peace also played a part in his decision to convene the historic Second Vatican Council. In his bull, Humanae Salutis, issued in De­cember, 1961, he said:

"Finally, to a world lost, con­fused and anxious under the constant threat of new fright­ful conflicts, the forthcoming council is called upon to offer an opportunity for all men of good will to turn their thoughts and their intentions toward peace."

Pope Calls Peace Probl'em of Mo-rals Continued from Page Fourteen

authority should be able to operate efficaciously but at the same time its action "must be inspired by sincere and effec­tive impartiality. It must be an action directed toward satisfying the objective requirements o~ the universal common good."

The Pope identified this uni­versal common good as the "recognition, respect, protection and promotion of the rights of the human being."

Principle of Subsidiarity Such an authority should be

established only by common agreement, the Pope noted, and should be based on the principle of subsidiarity. This prinlliple holds that it is an injustice, a grave evil and a disturbance of right order for a larger and higher organization to arrogate to itself functions which can be performed efficiently by smaller and lower bodies.

"Its objective instead is to contribute toward the creation on a world level of an environ­ment in which the public powers -,f the single political commun­ities; the respective citizens and the .intermediate bodies can carry out their tasks, fulfill fheir duties and exercise their rights with greater security."

In line with this idea, the Pope cited the existence of the United Nations and particularly its approval of the Declaration of Human Rights.

Referring to the declaration, he noted that there are certain objections and justified reser­vations about various points of the document. Yet "there is no doubt, ,however, that the docu­ment marks an important step on the road toward the juridical political organization of the world community," he said.

The Pope said he hopes that "the organization of the United Nations in its structure apd pos­sibilities may con for m con­stantly more to the greatness and nobility of its tasks; and that the day may come when in­dividual human beings may find In it an effective protection for righta which arise directly from

their dignity as persons and which are, therefore, universal, i n v i 0 1 a b I e and inalienable rights."

Catholics and Non-Catholics In the encyclical's final sec­

tion, Pope John outlined pas­toral suggestions to help foster peaceful relations between Oath: olics and non-Catholics.

The primary· one was a re­minder to the faithful of their duty to take an active part in public life. To do this, the Pope s~id there' is needed not only knowledge orthe Faith but also scienf:'fic competence, technical ability and professional experi­ence.

He said further that there should be unity and consistency' between the Faith of Catholics and their activity in the tem­poral sphere.

In their economic, social and political dealings, the Pope con­tinued, Catholics must be careful and coherent in their work with others, never allowing them­selves to compromise the Faith. Nevertheless, the-y must show that they are animated by a spirit of understanding and de­tachment and disposed to work loyally for the common good, he added.

The encyclical made the point· that it is possible that a drawing together or a meeting for the attainment of some practical end, w h i c h was formerly deemed inopportune or unpro­ductive, might now or in the future be considered opportune and useful. But to decide whether this moment has ar­rived is a problem to be solved only with the virtue of prudence, the Pope added.

Therefore, as far as Catholics are concerned, "this decision rests primarily with those who live and work in the specific sectors of human society· in which those problems arise," he said. But it must be made "al­ways in accordance with the principles of the natural law· with the social doctrine of th~ Church, and with the directive of ecclesiastical authority," he added.

Father and Son Teams Family Togetherness Feature Is Extremely

Popular in Northwest Area Parish SPOKANE (NC) - Family

togetherness is a regular feature at St. Augustine's parish where 26 fathers and their small army of sons regularly serve Mass as family teams.

The sons are trained by Sister Laura, sixth grade teacher of the parish school, and they supervise the training, or re­training, of their fathers at home. It's been a good many years since some of the men were on the altar.

The fathers have their own cassocks, surplices and capes. Fathers without sons of altar boy age, or men who have only female offspring, team up with fatherless boys.

Asserts Newman Apostolate Spans Know~e!JgeG~p

CORVALLIS (NC) - An Oregon Bishop has des­cribed the Newman aposto­late as a "providential bridge for spanning the gap between secular and religious knowl­edge."

Bishop Francis P. Leipzig of Baker, speaking to delegates and chaplains from ten colleges and universities in the Northwest, declared:

"This is the time in your life when you must be searching for the reasons underlying the doc~

trines of Faith which you have accepted on the authority of the Church alone," Bishop Leipzig told Newmanites in a sermon at a Solemn Mass at which Port­land's Archbishop Ed~ard D. Howard presided.

"Since we live in a pluralistic society, the state tax-supported university and college cannot enter into the controversy of re­vealed religion. The only avail ­ I

able instrument (to make the 1

history and logic and erudition of Catholicism available on the secular campus) is the Newman apostolate," Bishop Leipzig com­mented.

He pointed to problems of Newman groups in having too little time for discussion and so­cial action groups for students carrying 16 to 18 class hours a semester. He said "perhaps, someday, our students will be able to take accredited courses· through a Newman center to al ­leviate this strain," adding the Newman apostolate "is not meant ,,,to be just a phase in your life' -but it is meant to be a conver­ \ sion and transformation which will develop all of your life."

Spanis~, Jesuit Writes New Book on Biblical Research

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Ketutedy Father Luis Alons() ShOekel,. author of Understanding­

Biblical Research (Herder and Herder. $3.50), is a Spanish ,Jesuit who is professor of Old Testament. e.x:egesis and biblical theology at the PontificafBiblicaI Institute in Rome,

The Catholic reaction to this was an extreme conservatism which sometimes disparaged sci­entific method and accuracy. Valid conclusions drawn by the Rationalists we r e . dismissed. Those who attempted to employ the scientific method, while spurning the Rationalist preju­dice, were severely criticized. Fear of possible errors and of compromising revelation pre­vailed.

The restrictions then laid on Catholic scholars have com­monly been represented as un­reasonable and stultifying. But a conte'mporary Protestant schol­ar has said that "they put a check to the excesses in literary and historical criticism which were rapidly spreading from Protestant to Catholic circles."

And there were constructive measures, stich as the founding of the Ecole Biblique in Jerusa­.lern. However, a great and seem­ingly impassable gulf opened between Protestant and Catholic biblical scholarship, and. the lat ­ter was contemptuously regard­ed,' if not entirely disregarded, by the representatives of the former. .

Third S~e

The third' stage. has. emerged in our own day. It magna> charta is; Pius XII's encyclical on the Scriptures,. Divino Afflante' Spir­itu (1943), which, among other things demands solid, authentic biblical scholarship and endorses critical methology properly ap­plied.

Before the publication of the encyclical, such scholarship had been slowly building up. And changes had occurred on the Protestant side.

Rationalism, for example, had been conquered, and "many Protestant scholars nowadays ac­cept the inspiration of Scripture, the reality of. miracles, and so forth." .

Moreover, the value of Catho­lic biblical scholarship was in­creasingly recognized by Protes­tants. and cooperation became possible.

The impetus given by the en­cyclical has caused tremendous advances in the space of 20 years, but better scientific: training is urgently required.

Explains Criticism After providing this historical

outline,. Father Shoekel explains what biblical criticism is. He dis­cusses textual criticism and lit ­erary criticism.

The validity and necessity of textual criticism he estalJlishes in the light of changes. in the text which have occurred in the tl ansmission and, translation of the inspired .word over 27 cen­turies. Copying errors were in­evitable. They IDust be tracked down and the original deter­mined insofar as possible,

And literary criticism is es­sential; for by it the literary form is determIned (history, al ­legory, hymnic,. or what?). The literary form. has mueh' to . do with the' approacl1 one makes to a book or passag,e, and deciding this does not in any way detract from the .i~iratioI:' or perti ­nence of any part of Scripture.

Word of God There is a popular impression

that biblical criticism, as pres­ently practiced, wiU eventually do away with the whole Bible.

Not so, says Fathex Shokel. All the Bible will be le.ft, "save for some marginal glosses and er­rors. The Catholic scholar pro­fesses, after all, that the entire Bible, just as, the Catholic Church teaches and according 00 the norms laid down by the Council of Trent, is, inspired by God and hence is, the word of God. Thus the entire Bible will remain;. for the critie does not. want to· ~.but~·~ iI."

The biblical scholar, he says, often' has to face the fol­lowing difficult situation. First, the layman asks. a question concerning some pas­sage or book of Scripture. Sec­ondly, the schol­ar answers can­didly. Thirdly,

. the questioner is . scandalized by the answer. The solution of the difficulty, in the eyes of some, is for the scholar not to answer at all; this will obvi­ate scandal. Father Shoekel disagrees. The proper· way, to his mind, is to correct a prevalent wrong attti ­tude which takes scandal where DO scandal should.occur.

If scholarly answers to biblical problems cause surprise,. he con­tends, the reason is tI'Iat our peo­ple have been in -no way pr£:­pared for such entirely legiti ­mate answers.

The purpose of his book is not to give answers to· specific prob­lems, but to present the elements of a correct attitude toward the findings of' scholarship. Tn the eourse of' this attempt, he .etches the history of biblical research' and the character and methods of biblicaf ··criticism.

Three Sta.~es

The book is, intended. Ofl.e

pthers; for popular consump· tion. One doubts, however, that the ordinary reader will' find· it easy, Yet the ordinary reader eertainly needs to' know what it aays.

Perhaps. the book will be 'most useful if taken up in study groups with expert assistance, or if its argument, mastered by a priest, is passed on in simpler and more' expanded form to the people of his parish.

Father Shoekel distinguishes three stages· in biblical research. The first is that of the Reforma­tion and the Counter Reforma­tion. The' Protestants declared the Bible the sole rule of faith, denying the authority of the Church and the role of the Church as the authorized inter­preter of Holy Scripture. The Church reacted vigorously and affirmed strongly its authority and its role as to the Bible.

Encouraged Research It is assumed that thereafter

Protestant biblical scholarship flourished, whereas its Catholic counterpart was feeble, if it ex· isted at all. This, however, was not the case. Luther's treatment of th'e Scriptures, for example, was far less critical than that of St, Thomas- Aquinas had been.

And, altnough the Church did somewhat restrict the readUi.g of the Bible by the generality, it encouraged· scholarly research.

It was only in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that study decUned', and' th'ere deve!­the tendency to "repeat tried and safe positions without any effort of the creative' imagina­tion."

Protestant Scholarship The nineteenth century. saw

the rise of Rationalism,. the sec­ond stage discerned by the au­tlior. It deeply affected Protes­tant bilJlical scholarship.

On the' one hand, its practi ­tioners were genuine and rigor­ous scholars who devised and applied a truly s C'l'l 0: I a r f y methodology. On the other, they totally rejected the supernatural, thus discarding· what is most essential and vitai to the Bible.

Constructive !\'[easures For example, Scripture was no

longer regarded as having, any divine authority, since its inspi­ration' was one of the supernatu­ral elements. del",iL:d br the ~

tate the necessity of changing the time, the ceremonies may be held· at another hour between noon and nine in the' evening.

The simplified services com­memorative of the Passion and Death of the Lord fall into four distinct parts:' 1) the reading of "the lessons and the passion ac­count,2) the solemn prayers, 3) the veneration of the cross, and 4) -the Communion service.

The first of these, the read­ings, commences with a lesson by the Prophet Osee. He an,. nounces a resurrection on the third day. Christ's death must be viewed in the light of His sub­sequent return to life. By His passage from death to life we !have been enabled to pass from the death of sin to the life of grace. Then follows an account from the Book of Exodus des­cribing the preparation of the Paschal Lamb. The Chosen Peo:­pIe marked their doorposts with its blood, and the Angel of Death passed over their homes, killing only the firstborn among the Egyptians during the Tenth Plague. The terrified Egyptians then liberated the cap t i v e Chosen People. In the third reading, we are presented St. John's record of the sufferings and death of Christ.

Just as by the death of the I· Paschal Lamb the C h 0 sen

People enjoyed a passover from the slavery of Egypt to the free­dom of the 'Promised Land, so also by the death of the Lamb of God we enjoy a passover from the bondage of Satan to the liberty of the sons of God.

The solemn prayers,' or "the praye~ of the faithful," follow the passion. Christ died for all and now the Church prays for ~ all classes and needs of the church and mankind. There are nine separate prayers. Before each the celebrant vested in a black cope announces the inten­tion all kneel and pray for it in

, • 11their own words, and fma y

-. . t while everyone stands the prIessings a "collect," collecting the prayers of the entire congrega­tion in one prayer. This striking participation by all present is characteristic of the restored Holy Week ceremonies.

The veneration of the Holy Cross comprises the third part of the Good Friday services. This rite ,originated in Jerusalem after the finding of the True Cross by St. Helena and soon spread to the Western Church. After being borne in solemnly, the crucifix, covered since Pas­sion Sunday, is unveiled in three stages. Each time the celebrant, aided by his ,ministers, sings: Behold the wood of the cross on which hung the Savior of the world. After each exclamation, all humbly kneel to venerate the Cross of our salvation, and re­spond: Come, let us adore. __

After the celebr~nt and his assistants have venerated the Cross, it is brought to the altar rail where all approach and adore, one by one, or, where good order demands, it may be held up for all to bow down and adore from their pews. During the veneration, the choir sings

, the "Reproaches," - in which Christ reproaches us, His people, for our ing,ratitude to God for

sion: "For as often as you shall eat this bread * * * you proclaimthe death of the Lord * * *" The· Blessed 'Sacrament is returned

without pomp from the altar of reposition where it has remained since the Mass yesterday eve­ning. AU present recite the "Our Father" in Latin with the priest and then receive their Savior. Thus ends the stirring ceremon­ies commemorative of Christ's· death and commences the great period of mourning that will ex­

,tend to the celebration of the Easter Vigil.

"This is tpe very night which delivers all who believe in Christ from worldl~' vice and from darkness of sin, which re­stores them. to grace and makes

'them co-sharers with saints * ** 0 truly blessed night * * *"

'Without a doubt the ]~aster Vigil is the apex not only of. Holy Week but indeed of the entire calendar of the Church. No other liturgical celebration poses as a greater source of grace than, the Vigil of Christ's Resurrection. Just as Christ by His Resurrec­

. tion conquered darkness and death, so each year in the sacra­mental celebration of this vic­tory at the Easter Vigil, the Church brings to aU of us the light' and life of grace merited by the risen Christ.

Holy Saturday Formerly conducted on Holy

Saturday morning, the services , of the Vigil had come to lose their meaning by so drastic an anticipation. Pope Pius XII re­turned them to their proper place on the night before Ea~ter morning. Now even t~e time at which we assist adds meaning to the inspiring ceremonies. Throughout Holy Saturday' we should prepare ourselves' for this great service by observing the Lenten fast 'and abstinence, and by maintaining an attitude of prayer and 'meditation. We sorrow and mourn for the buried Christ and repent and do pen­ance for our sins that slew Him, but all the while we preserve a holy expectation of His Resui"­rection.

Tonight occurs Christ's' great Passover from the depths of death to the heights of divine life. He brings us with Him. This passage with Christ is presented in the three parts of the Easter Vigil: first as the passage from the darkness of depair to the

,light of hope with Christ the Light of the Word, then as the passage" from the fatal filth of sin to the living cleansing of Baptism, and finally ,as the pass­age from Satarlic starvation and death to Christian plentitude and life at the Eucharistic ban­quet wherein we partake of the Food of Life.

In the presence of all the peo­pIe the darkness is dispelled by the kindling of a new fire, from which is lit the Paschal Candle -a symbol 'of the risen Christ, the Light of the World, Who il ­lumines our hearts and minds. There follows a joyful proces­sion behind the Light to the sanctuary, and the candles of all present are lighted from this one Light. With the church aglow from the canclles of all the people, the ancient and beautiful Exsultet, or Easter, Song, is sung by the deacon or celebrant.

each invocation everyone makes the response. The Litany is in­terrupted in order that there might be blessed the water used in the -administration of the sacrament of Baptism. Because of its prime role in' Baptism, it receives a most solemn blessing. Evil spirits are ~ast out, it is blessed and even anointed with the sacred oils. '

Allegiance to Christ Most significantly of all, the

Paschal Candle, which as we noted signifies Christ, is lowered into .it and raised out again, symbolizirig Chr.ist's descent to death and resurrection to life. This is done because the Baptism which this water will be used to administer also signifies death and life - death to sin and a re­surrection to life in God's grace. This great sacrament of Chris­tian initiation is next conferred, if there are any to be baptized. At any rate, all present renew their baptismal vows - re­jecting Satan and professing their allegiance to Christ. The, Litany of the Saints is then con­cluded.

The third part of the l!:aster Vigil, and its climax, is the Mass of the Resurrection. During the past week we have shared inti ­mately in Christ's working out of our redemption. We rejoiced with Him as our King on Palm Sunday, then we dwelt on His passion, we sorrowed with Him suffering, dying and buried, and . now finally we have rejoiced in His glorious resurrection from the dead. It remains now for us to offer together the sacrifice of thanksgiving in which is re­newed every time it is offered all the events of that week. Could it ever have more meaning for us than on the mor­ning of ,His Resurrection, The Jewish people annually cele­brate their Passover from the

, slavery of Egypt to the freedom of the Promised Land. We also annually celebrate during Holy Week our Passover from the death of sin to the life of grace effected by Christ, Our 'Savior. This same Passover is renewed in every offering of the holy sacrifice of the Mass., How ap­propriately, therefore, do the Holy Week services terminate with the Mass - a summary of all that has preceded in the week.

Praise to God The Vigil Mass, the first of

the Resur'rection, again calls for the participation of the entire congregation. Especially are we

.urged to join with 'one another in rendering the magnificent and stirring Easter trumpet-call of joy; praise and thanksgiving: Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia: Praise to God, Praise to God, Praise to God. Three times is this glorious shout sent heaven­ward - every time on a higher note.

May the spirit of joy and thanksgiving that fills our heart as we chant these Alleluias on Easter morning abide with us until the next Vigil of the Re­surrection, and may we at that time be found a little holier as a result of our cooperating with the many graces afforded us by our participation in the Holy Week services of this year.

"Pour out the Spirit of Thy love into our hearts, 0 Lord, that those whom Thou hast nourished with the Easter sacra­ments may, because of Thy love, dwell together in peace." . .

and mink-scarved a u die Dee found the tour enchanting and the hostesses were grateful to the many who trod their oriental rugs in flat-heeled shoes.

Course of the trip was con­fined to homes in the St. Law­rence-St. James parish area. Re­ceiving guests were Mrs. John W. Glenn, whose dining table symbolized Advent; Mrs. Edwin Livlngtone Jr., Christmas and Epiphany; Mrs. Arthur F. Buck­ley, Holy Thursday; Miss Mar­garet Z. Considine, Good Friday; Mrs. John Duff Jr., Holy Satur­day; Mrs. Roland F. Mathieu, Easter; Mrs. Eugene P. La­France, Pentecost; Mrs. Edward W. Galligan, Corpus Christi, and Mrs. Paul J. McCawley, the Cana Feast.

Tea and coffee were served at the County Street clubhouse after the tour. Featured there was Rev. George I. Saad, pastor of Our Lady of Purgatory Church, New Bedford, who di~ played vestments used in his church. Father Saad commented periodically during the after­noon on' the major differences between the Latin and Maronite rites of the Catholic church.

Mrs. James M. Kearney and Mrs. Thomas P. Barry were co­chairman of the event; Mrs. Wil­liam P. Walsh supervised the home decorations and Mrs. John W. Whelan was in charge of tickets.

A narrator explained the sig­nificance of each feast at the nine homes and liturgical music proper to' the season observed was used in the background. A brochure explained the symbols in each home.

Among highlights of the tour was Mrs. Galligan's Corpus Christi dining room. Displayed were a gold monstrance studded with rubies and amethysts, and a gold chalice, loaned for the occasion by Bishop' James J. Gerrard, V.G.

Her table setting was of royal blue with gold bands, and sherbets and 'water' goblets in gold banded crystal (a wedding present of 50 years ago). The centerpiece was of wheat and grapes, the symbol of the Holy Eucharist. One candle trimmed with a sheaf of wheat reminded that the grain dies to bring forth fruit, as did Christ that the dead may live.

The centerpiece was sur­rounded by figures of keeling children attended by their guar­dian angel presenting the image of the words, "Except ye be as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." The Holy Eucharist also was honored with a little girl's First Com­munion dress, her wreath, veil. prayer. book and rosary.

Symbolic Pretzel

Starkly simple and emotion­ally compelling was Miss Con­sidine's Good Friday dining room where the eye was caught instantly by a crown of thorns at one'side of the table. As the altar.is stripped on Good Fri": day, so was the dining table. The beautiful patina of' wood was the only ornament. A hot croS8 bun and a pretzel were the cli ­max of the meal.

The bun is an old English cus­tom which started in 1225. The pretzel is an important Lenten food symbol. Its shape is sym­bolic of arms crossed in prayer, the posture of prayer in the early church. Being made' of flour and water only,the pretzel reminds that Lent is the time of fast. Center piece of Miss Con-. sidine's table was a Bible and crucifix.

Mrs. Glenn's Advent table was centered with an evergreen Ad­vent wreath, the circle sym­bqlizing eternity and God. Within the circle· were three purple candles and one of rose, representing the four weeks of Advent. The purple tapers are for penance and the rose, re­j01cing. The table was set with violet and white china and amethyst goblets.

There was an empty manger to be furnished during Advent with straw for the Christ Child,

provided bit by bit by the chil ­dren of the family, each straw a reward for good behavior and self-denial.

Jesse Tree The Mary candle was deco­

rated with a lily and placed be­fore a statue of the Virgin In honor of her feast day, Dec. 8. St. Lucy, virgin and martyr, also was honored. On her feast, day, Dec. 13 the eldest daughter of the house plays the role of St. Lucy and crowned with a wreath of lights, serves a Swedish cof­fee ring topped with .candles to her family. Also on display was the Advent tower with its seven windows. '

Small but beautiful"poinsettias topped the dining room mantel

_of the Livingstone home where Christmas and Epihany were de­

.picted. Red carnations were used at the ta1)le set with flowered china and crystal.

In the two rooms on display were the Jesse tree honoring Jesse, the ancestor of Christ; the Christ candle to light the way of the Holy Family; the creche; the blessed Christmas wafer eaten to promote brotherly love; the Epiphany b I e s sin g, the crowns of the three kings and the king's cake. (The latter bore a minute thumbprint of a curi ­ous Livingstone child.)

Federal Aid Issue Rep. Carey, Protestant Spokesman

Clash Sharply at Hearing WASHINGTON (N C) - A

congressman and a spokesman for Protestants and Other Amer­icans United for Separation of Church and State clashed sharp­ly at a hearing on Federal aid to education.

Rep. Hugh L. Carey of New York told.POAU assistant direc­tor C. Stanley Lowell that Lowell's prepared statement, op­posing Federal aid to· church­related schools at any level, was "a good brief for secularist edu­

,cation." Carey also said Lowell's stand

would put students in church­related schools and their parents under ."a' tremendous handicap" and might even make it finan­cially impossible for children to attend such schools.

The POAU official testified at continuing hearings of the House Education and Labor Commit­tee on President Kennedy's omnibus aid to education bill.

Lowell said the POAU "gen­erally" favors the bill's program of aid to grade and high schools. On this level, church-related in­stitutions w 0 u 1 d be excluded

On the level of higher educa­tion, he added, POAU wants a clear distinction in the bill be­tween merely private institu­tions and those which are "de­finitively church-related. Aid to the private schools would be permissible but aid to the c h u r c h ,. related institutions would· not be, he maintained. .

Carey challenged Lowell for suggesting that the issue in­volved is state aid to religion.

"There isn't anybody on this committee or in Congress who wants aid to religion," Carey said. He added that the real issue is whether some 'seven million stu den t s in church - related schools are to be disqualified' from benefits under a Federal aid program.

File New Sunday Sales Measure In Illinois

SPRINGFIELD (NC) A bill, to ban unnecessary Sunday retail sales in rut­nois has been introduced in the state Senate.

The purpose of the measure is to protect "public health, safety and morals" by setting aside Sunday as "a uniform day of rest, recreation and relaxa­tion." The proposed legislation notes this aim has been "ser:lous­ly impaired" in recent years by "a . growing practice" among. some businesses to engage in Sunday selling.

The bill exempts from its ban sales for charitable purposes or. .for "immediate health and safety . needs," including such items as drugs, insecticides and in.fant supplies other than fur­niture and clothing.

It would permit the sale of a number of items for rest and recreational-purposes, including .'sporting equipment, cosmetic., and lawn and garden supplies.

The measure also would allow the sale of various foods and beverages, including milk and dairy products and fresh fruits' and vegetables when sold on. the premises where they are grown.

Christ's presence at the meal and unleavened bread is shared by the family. A decanter of wine stood on the table and an empty goblet was· placed by the candle as a reminder to pray fOT the unity of all people in Christ.

A shimmering green cloth (the bnly colored table linen on the tour) was used by Mrs. Duff on the Holy Saturday table. Green represents hope. A Baptismal robe was the highlight of this setting, signifying' purity and sanctifying grace. Candles rep­resented members of Christ's mystical body and a ring of daisies was symbolic of eternity. An ivy-bordered dinner set was used to continue the symbol of hope. .

. A Paschal lamb covered with cocoanut With gumdrop eyes and nose centered Mrs. Mathieu's Easter table. Vari-colored sweet peas surrounded it. The Paschal candle represented Christ at the table and colored eggs, symbol of fertility, depicted Christ's rising from the tomb. Easter water, newly blessed, was in evidence. while flowers betokened Spring and new life.

A candelabra w'i t h seven bright red candles was used by Mrs. LaFrance on her Pentecost table. A dove represented the Holy Ghost; the candles'symbo­lized His seven gifts: wisdom, understanding, counsel, forti ­tude, knowledge,· piety and fear of the Lord. .

Marriage in Christ Last house of the tour was

Mrs. McCawley's where the Cana Feast was shown. There was a tiered .wedding cake· (turned around because of an:' . other c.h i I dis h fingerprint) topped with the marriage sym­bol. Elsewhere in the two rooms used for the display were the wedding invitation, the ring, and gifts for the bride and groom, including a Bible, crucifix, house blessing, and holy picture.

The Cana candle, again re­minding of Christ in the midst, was. trimmed with interlocked rings. A· gift tab 1e was charmingly set .on a draped white satin cloth and a refresh­ment table held wine and a stunning silver punch bowl set. White chrysanthemums topped the gift table.

Many members of the clergy and Sisters of Mercy were special guests of the tour which also was attended by many out­of-city and non-Catholic guests.
