The priest said Finch's re­marks are "inconsistent" withthe Nixon administration's poli­cica on population study.

Finch made the statement inreply to a question posed by amember of the audience whoesked what people could do ona voluntary basis to improve thequality of life in this country.

"I would begin with recom­mending that they start with twochildren," the secretary re­sponded.

Finch also said the govern­ment might have· to invoke"disincentives" to discourageparents from having big families.But, he did not elaborate onwhat he meant.

Contrasting Finch's remarkswith the Administration's poli­cies, Father McHugh noted thatPresident Nixon has asked Con­gress to enact legislation toestablish a commission to studypollution as related to America'sfuture.

The Chief Executive, he noted,has also urged passage of otherbills callfng for specific researchin establishing goals to protectthe environment.

"One might wonder," the fam­ily life division director declared,"if the Finch proposals are nowthe policy of the Nixon admin­istration, since they are clearlydifferent from the proposals thatPresident Nixon made in hismessage on population in July1969."

Father McHugh said:"Specifically, Mr. Finch asks

for a voluntary commitment tothe two-child limit but in thenext breath threatens govern­mental interference and coercionby means of disincentives."

Plrelates ScoreAnti-Zionism

PARIS (NC)-France's Episco­pal Committee for Relationswith the Jews has published astatement disapproving "articlesor appeals urging Christians towork against Zionism."

Aimed at growing oppositionto Israel among Catholics here,the statement added that manyof these appeals display "a realignorance of the religious cjimen­sion of modern Judaism" in theirdiscussion of events in the Mid­dle East.

The statement - signed byMsgr. Roger Etchegaray, secre­tary general of the French Bish­ops Conference, Bishop ArthurEichinger of Strasbourg andBishop Jacques Marie Delarue ofNanterre-continued:

"The compassion that Chris­tians ought to have for the pooramong the Arab refugees shouldnot lead to reverse injustices.F:urthermore, we must denouncethe ambiguity of certain publicopinion campaigns against Israel.These campaigns unduly confusereligious arguments with purelypolitical positions."

Apparently afraid that oppo­nents of the state of Israel arehordering on anti-Semitism, thebishops' statement continued:

"We do not contest men's lib­erty to make political choices.Dut Christians should be awarethat their participation in theanti-Zionist movement runs therisk of involving them in a newgenocide."

Versatile Art Student' HasYet Finds Time to Shoot

By Ellen AndrewSuccess has come early to Miss Dawn Gilholm of North Dartmouth, a 16-year-old

junior art student at Jesus Mary Academy in Fall River. She has her first art, exhibitat the Colonial Pines Craft Shop on Cove Road in South Dartmouth. "I'm a little nervousabout it, but thrilled nevertheless at the reception my works have received," she said

with a smile. Most artists I':'.go through a life-time with- ",1out ever being good enough H;i~

to have their own exhibit'!i~ ':tBut Dawn has scaled those t;! ~,~1

heights in little more than threeyears and has opened up newvistas for her future in art.

Successful ExhibitIn fact, the exhibit has been so

successful that Charles DiTata,Coloniat' Pines' proprieter, hasheld it over and will continueit indefinitely.

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Jehn S. Gilholm Jr. of 90 Cog­geshall Street has been an artstudent of Louis Sylvia of How­land Road, South Dartmouth forthree years. The Gilholms arcmembers of St. Julie's Parish.

"I've been interested in artfor as far back as I can te­member," Dawn says, "and, Iguess, I've always been sketch­ing something."

A short stay at Swain Schoolof Design in New Bedford pre­ceded her introduction to Mr.Sylvia and his art school.

Dawn does landscapes landseascapes in oils and water col- _ors. She doesn't care to do' por- l~'traits, at least, not at this time.

Sacrifices BasketballShe would like to have play­

ed basketball at Jesus Mary. Buther art sessions, two hours. aweek, come' at the time the teampractices or plays.

Her favorite class at the, aca­demy?

"That would have to~ be ·the·­art lessons with Mother Regi­nald," . she said. etlthusia$tie::allY.

"We have them 45 minutes aday and" sketch, do· water colorsand just plain paint. It's verystimulating and ,I'm appreclativeof the opportunity to take artunder Mother Reginald."

Miss Gilholm likes tennis,horse back ridin~, ice skatin~.

going to Stang High basketballgames and' golf.

Has Shot a 39Golf? Yes, she's quite a good

golfer. Her best round at thePocasset, R.I. Golf Club, is a 39.That's pretty good consideringladies' par is 37. ,

"I'd ike to get down evenlower," she remarked, "but Idon't have that much time to p,ut'into golf." .

Her prowess on the links isunderstandable. Her dad is the~olf pro at Pocasset. In fact, thefamily name is synonmous withgolf in Southeastern Massachu­setts.

The family home adjoins theeighth fairway at the CountryClub, of New Bedford whereDawn's grandfather, the lateJohn S. Gilholm, was club profor 49 years.

Dawn's dad held the sa~e jobfor nine years at the CountryClub before taking the Pocassetpost four years ago. .

She used to play the accordian,but doesn't get to that very oftennow what with her school workand desire to paint. ,

The Gilholms' only child hasno special popular televisionshow although she might watchGlen Campbell once in a while.

"I prefer a· good educationalprogram, frankly," she says.

Dawn is an honor student atJesus Mary where she is takingcollege prep courses. She plansto study art in college, but hasn'tdecided where she will go.

Stress MonetaryProblems F'ocingIllinois Schools

CHICAGO (NC) - TheChicago archdiocesan schoolsuperintendent, laying criti­cal factors on the line, hasadvocated state aid to non-publicschools and a state senator hasdisclosed reasons why such legis­lation is bottled up in commit­tees at the capitol in Springfield.

Father H. Robert Clark gavethree reasons for such aid-be­cause parents' freedom of choicein education should be preserved;because it is in the best interestof the state; because non-publicschools can offer quality educa­tion.

Destructive RaisesUsing local examples to em­

phasize the statewide non-publicschool crisis, Father Clark said:

Some 150 of 422 Catholicschools here are "in trouble.""I'm not saying they will close,"he added, "but the end of theroad is in sight unless they getoutside funding."

In six years the Catholicgrade school teacher payroll rose100 per cent-from $15 to $30million. The increase has beenabsorbed by increased tuitionand contributions.

Tuition raises have proven"self destructive," with 24,000students in Illinois leaving non­public for public schools becauseof rising tution.

Quality education will not becompromised. "If we can't havegood schools, we won't runschools," he said.

lI..<I)\bIbyltlw and Fear"There are areas where clos­

ing of non-public school would'literally destroy public schools,"he stressed. Jt': could. "meandOUble shifts- and hiring of doz­ens of extra teachers in the, pub­lic scllool: system.

State Senator Joseph J.. Kra­sowski, of Chicago, member ofthe Senate education committee,says he agrees with Gov. Rich­ard B. Ogilvie in favoring stateaid to non-publiC schools. Thesenator opined that fear andlobbyists brought about defeatof aid legislation a year ago.

"Groups interested in publiceducation fear that if the statebegins subsidizing private educa­tion it will mean less money forthem and they will have to workharder to get additional funds."

Future IncreasesThe senator believes the cur­

rent non-public school aid planwill cost $30 million. He thinkssome legislators and others fearthe request "is going to continu­ally increase."

He said aid proponents have a"big job" trying to convince amajority of his IS-member com­mittee of the need for the aid,

. warning there is strong supportamong legislators for publicschool education.

Protest RefusalTo Hold Inquiry

DUNEDIN (NC)-Eight NewZealand university chaplains,Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterianand Methodist, have publiclyprotested the government's re­fusal to hold a public inquiryinto methods used by police tobreak up demonstrations duringthe visit of Vice-President SpiroAgnew in January.

The chaplains said in a state­ment signed by all of them thatif the allegations of police bru­tality are false, the' police can

. only gain by an inquiry; if theyare true, then action must betaken in the interests of the gen­eral public.

BROOKLYN (NC)-The Brook­lyn Catholic Diocesan HighSchool Office has announced anew admissions policy-proced­ure designed to dissipate what.diocesan officials describe as"an admissions nightmare"-try­ing to fit some 17,000 applicantsinto 4,090 seats available eachschool year.

The plan, produced after a.year's study by a diocesan com­mittee, is aimed at giving appli­cants a wider choice of schoolsand a better chance of getting inthem. For the first time, studentswill have the opportunity tocompete for anyone of the eightdiocesan high schools.

Prior procedure selected stu­dents solely on the basis ofscores achieved .on a Coopera­tive Entrance Examination andrestricted students to a specifichigh school on the basis of theirhome parish.

The new procedure permitsstudents to apply for a placeunder the quota and also to com­pete for a place in a school otherthan that assigned to the parish.

Cardinal DefinesTheologian Role

SYDNEY (NC) - Australia'sNorman Cardinal Gilroy spokeout in his annual Lenten mes­sage to warn Christians againstthose who "fog the clear mas­sage of Christ as made knownby the Church."

Referring to theological writ­ings made available to the public,the cardinal added: "A factor increating confusion is a misun­derstanding of the place of .thetheologian in the work of theChurch.

"In practice, the most repu­table and most capable theolo­gians humbly admit that it istheir place to help to advise, theteaching body of the Church.Theologians state and supporttheir opinions; the pope and thehishops united with him definethe truth."

The cardinal added that con­fusion caused by changeovers inthe liturgy is only temporary andshould not cause any confusionregarding the nature of theChurch or the sacraments. Heemphasized that the sacramentof Penance especially had notchanged in any way, and reaf­firmed the Church's emphasis onprivate auricular confessions.

"It would be wrong," CardinalGilroy commented, "to suggestthat a general absolution ...should be a normal sacramentalroutine." since this could lead toa loss of emphasis on the sacra­mental nature of Penance, andpossibly even to sacrilege andscandal.

Temporary OrderHolds-Up JerseyHospital Closing

MORRISTOWN (NC)­The New Jersey SuperiorCourt has temporarily haltedplans to close 77-year-old AllSoul's Hospital here as the resultof a complaint signed by 44members of the hospital staff.

Judge Joseph Stamler, presid­ing at the Morris County sitting,issued a temporary injunctionjust four days after Mother Gen­eral Josephine Marie, presidentof the hospital trustees, an­nounced the hospital, operatedby the Sisters of Charity of St.Elizabeth, will close Feb. 28.

Mother Josephine Marie saidthe decision to close resultedfrom under-utilization of the hOs­pital by area residents and phy­sicians. She noted income is in­sufficient to continue the hospi­tal in a financially solvent man­ner.

The 44 staff members whosigned the court complaintclaimed closing the 160-bed hos­pital is not in the public interest;that they fear, along with othermembers of the community, theclosing will cause a shortage {Ifhospital beds.

glican exodus here t.o the RomanCatholic Church has been stalledtemporarily by the financial in­ability of the Catholic bishop toprovide new churches.

Although the desire of the An­glicans to join the CatholicChurch is still there, the initialenthusiasm has died down and,according to one former Angli­can leader, "for the present thereis no movement."

The infant Kurnool diocese isso poor that Bishop Joseph Ra­jappa is unable to build chapelswherever the Anglicans decideto join. Many Anglicans inter­pret this as a lack of interestfrom the Catholic side.

They also claim that Catholicauthorities are insisting that theAnglicans joining the CatholicChurch should not only buildtheir own chapels and churches,but also buy the land for them­selves and pay their own cate­chists.

In the initial movement, about3,000 Anglican laymen joined theCatholic Church in some twomonths. The exodus began afterfive leading clergymen were re­ceived into the Catholic Churchby Bishop Rajappa in June, 1969.

WASHINGTON (NC) - AWhite House conference with of­ficials of the National CatholicEducational Association may bethe catalyst which will set in.motion a "task force" on' non­public education.

President Nixon told the asso­ciation's board members, sum­moned by special invitation tothe briefing, that he saw "great

. value" in two educational sys­tems, public and private, andthat it would be "a tragedy ifeither one should collapse."

In response to questions bythe board members at the brief­ing, Nixon repeated his wish to·initiate a special "task force" onnonpublic education which wouldstudy the needs of privateschools and make ·recommenda­tions to the President as to howthese needs can be met. The taskforce is now expected to assumetangible form in the near future.

Vietnam BishopsSet ConditionsFor Peace

SAIGON (NC)-"Vietna­mese Catholics will, not beable to accept a cheap peace;at any price that would beimposed at the price of injus­tice, of the loss of liberty," twoVietnamese bishops told theParis peace talk delegations inan open letter. '

The two prelates, ArchbishopPaul Nguyen van Binh of Saigon,president .of the Vietnamese Bish­ops' Conference, and BishopPeter Pham ngoc Chi of Danang,vice-president, had tried unsuc­cessfully last year to meet thepeace talk delegations,

The two bishops said thatCatholics of Vietnam "wish alust and lastin~ peace, fromwhich' are excluded injustice, op­pression and slavery, a peacethat respects all the rights andlegitimate liberties of man andalso the independence of thecountry,"

There can be no peace, theywrote. without "respect for theinalienable rights of the humanperson in private as well as so­cial life, under all aspects: eco­nomic, political, cultural, religi­ous,"

Rewrite LetterLast November, the two bish­

ops tried to meet' the four dele­gations together in Paris, butthe North Vietnamese and theNational Liberation Front (theViet Cong) would only 'meetthem separately. The two prel­ates refused to meet. them underthose conditions.\. At that time, the bishops had

intended to present an open let­ter to the four delegations butdid not do so when they couldnot meet the four together. Theletter was written in Rome whenthe two were attending the Svn­od of bishops last October. Dueto lack of time they did not con­sult the other bishops in Viet­mtm.

At its annual meeting thispast January, the bishops' con­ference decid,ed to rewrite theletter and send it to the fourdelegations. However, it wassent in the names of ArchbishopBlnh and Bishop Chi as presi­dent and vice-president of theconference.

In the letter, the two outlinedthe "fundamental principles fora true peace."

LONDON (NC)-The AbortionLaw (Reform) Bill has failed inthe House of Commons.

It said that lawful abortionshould be carried out only by orunder the supervision of consult­ant gynecologists in the NationalHealth Service or medical prc­titioners of equivalent status ap-

. proved by the government.

Opponents of the measuresaid that there were not enoughconsultant gynecologists readyan~ available, and that the mea­sure would make it difficult fora woman in need to get' an abor­tion.

The bill was supported by theBritish Medical Association andthe Royal College of' Obstetri­cians and Gynecologists, butopposed by the General Practi­tioners Union.

In the Common debate, Nor­man . St. John-Stevas, leadingCatholic opponent. of the abor­tion law, said the bill aimedprincipally at legalized rackets.Abortion on demand is possibleif one can pay enough, he said.

Christian IgnoranceProlblem forr Jews .

BOSTON (NC)-Richard Car­dinal Cushing of Boston saidhere that the "greastest enemy"of the Jewish people within theChristian community is a "simpleignorance of Judaism."

The prelate issued a statementto open a series of 10 Sundayevening lectures on Judaism, pre­sented for reliltious and layteachers by rabbis and otherJewish leaders.

Cardinal Cushing urged Re­ligiolls and lay teachers in paro­chial schools and the Confrater­nity of Christian Doctrine to par­ticipate in the courses.

"Ever since the Fathers ofVatican II translated the word'eculTlenism' into'a living exper­ience, the Catholic and Jewishpeople in the Greater Bostoncommunity have increased theirefforts to seek out new ways ofcooperating with one another,"Cardinal Cushing stated.

MILWAUKEE (NC)-An inter­faith association of clergymensaid the solution to the problemof providing additional aid to thearea poor is a matter of priorityand county funds should be re­allocated to favor public assist­ance over additional express­ways.

"This is not the nature of thecrisis.. While the focus of thenews has been on the questionof the use of second-hand cloth­ing, the real essence of the crisisis that public assistance pay­ments are insufficiEmt for manypeople on public assistance tomake ends meet, and the demon-

A Few HintsFrom our experience we can

pass on a few hints to those ofyou who are contemplating sim·ilar projects. First of all, Marilynand I have developed a principlewhich we feel covers a greatdeal of territory: "You can't af­ford most things that you wantand you can't find most thingsthat you can afford." Essentiallythis principle means that build­in~ is a series of compromises.

A second principle can bestated as follows: "Design yourhouse to suit your own livingpattern, using your own tasteand judgment rather than rely­ing on the experts." In otherwords, throwaway the maga­zines, and turn on your ownpowers of creativity.

You will make mistakes, andyou may hara,ngue each otherover them but mistakes will bemade even by "experts" anyway,so except for the fact that youcan blame someone else there isvery little to be gained. by bring­ing in outside consultants.

Thirdly and most importantly:"Bargains are not to be had inthe building business and areuseful only in that they makethe builder feel better." If wehave learned anything it is thatyou pay dearly for anything thatcomes cheap, both in time andin energy.

The final principle is very sim­ply stated: "Don't start unlessyour frustration level is high,your nervous system in goodorder, your insistence on cleanli­ness low and your perseveranceinfinite."

In the KitchenIt's my firm belief that we

constantly underestimate chilodren, their abilities and their un­derstanding. Sister Ann Bolandof the Holy Union Preschool hasshown us again and again thateven the tiniest tot is capable ofbeing a responsible human beingif we respect his intelligence andtreat him accordingly. Oddlyenough, the children who dolearn to be self-reliant and reo

"sponsible at an early age arevery proud of their accomplish­ment, and appear to get a greatdeal more out of life than thosewho have \ everything done forthem and remain helpless chil­dren (and even helpless adults).

This philosophy really hithome this week when Melissa(who is eight) received the Bet­ter Homes and Gardens JuniorCook Book for a Valentine pres­ent. She was thrilled and pro­ceeded to prepare breakfast foreveryone in the house forthwith.

German PrelatesSupport Celibacy

ESSEN (NC) - The Germanand Austrian bishops have ex­pressed support for obligatorycelibacy for priests. "

At their spring conferencehere, the German bishops saidthat they will maintain obliga­tory celibacy for priests and not

.readmit to the ministry priestswho have been dispensed fromtheir obligations.

They also said they "will inthe future call priests from theranks of those who accept withgratitude the gift of celibacy for

. the sake of the kingdom. ofheaven."

But the bishops decided not to.introduce in their dioceses theannual renewal of ordinationpromises on celibacy and obedi­ence that the Congregation forthe Clergy recently recom­mended.

Julius Cardinal Doepfner ofMunich, president of the GermanBishops' Conference, told a pressconference that the bishops'"fi~ unchanged position" isbased on the belief that celibacyis a special testimony to Christ,a sign. of hope for the SecondComing, and therefore an indis­pensable service to the wholeChurch and the world.

The cardinal also said that theDutch bishops' call for optionalcelibacy "is certainly a burdenfor the whole western Church."He. added, however, that theGerma'1 bishops have not "for­

College StudentsProtest Course

DUBLIN (NC) - Philosophy,students at University College,Dublin, have started a mini­revolt to protest what they con­sider to be one-sided treatmentof philosophy in their courses.All teaching, they charge, isdominated by the philosophy ofSt. Thomas Aquinas, the famed13th-century Dom'lniean.

The students, in the depart­ment of metaphysics, have cir­culated a statement of com­plaints, and hlJ,ve als'o threatenedto withdraw from participationin a staff-student committee be­cause of non-cooperation by thestaff.

One graduate student, Augus­tine Gibney, said: "In essencewhat is meant here by the his­tory of philosophy is the historyof human aberration to whichthere is but one exception -Aquinas." .

Recently, the secon'd-year stu­dents, whose elected representa­tive is a young Augustinianseminarian, sent a letter to thecollege academic council de­manding action to remedy thedeadlock.

The dean of the faculty ofarts, of whieh the depa.rtment ofmetaphysics is a part, is Msgr.John Horgan, an elderly scholarwho is thought to be the "watch­dog" of Archbishop John Mc­Quaid of Dublin in the univer­sity, especially where courses inphilosophy and to some extentin history and pOlities, are con­cerned.

Bishops EncourageP',iests Convention

SYDNEY (NC) - Plans for anational priests' convention May12-14 have received the encour­agement of the Australian Bish­ops' Conference.

The bishops have indicatedtheir "readiness to help" in prep­arations for the convention byan ad hoc committee. The com­mittee was formed by a groupof 85 priests who met in Octo­ber, 1969, to discuss plans forthe convention in 1970 and tochoose subjects' for the meeting.

All the bishops and priests ofAustralia will be invited. Localmeetings of priests' groups toobtain their suggestions foragenda topics are planned.

The organizers have statedthat the primary objective of themeeting should be "to provide anopportunity for participants toshare freely their experiences,insights, and observations in col­laboration with the bishops" inorder "to me~t more effectivelythe needs of the people."

And, over and above these,there are "millions, temporarilydisabled who, could return towork or school sooner if build­ings were designed for accessi­bility."

Proposed ChurchMerger DeepensInterfaith Ties

WASHINGTON (NC)Establishment of the Churchof Christ Uniting, whichwould join a third of Ameri­ca's Protestants into a singlechurch, is looked upon favorablyby Catholic ecumenical leaders,who view the move as a meansof simplifying dialogue and deep­ening relationships among allchurches.

These sentiments came fromMsgr. Bernard Law, director, andFather John Hotchkin, associatedirector of 'the National Confer­ence of Catholic Bishops' Com­mittee on Interreligious and Ecu­menical Affairs. Both have beenobservers at previous sessions ofthe Consultation on Church Un­ion which released details of themerger plan in a 170-page doc­ument.

Nine major Protestant denom­inations, representing 25 millionmembers, will vote on the unityplan at the consultation's annualmeeting March 9 to 13 in St.Louis. If approved, the' new un­ion is not expect('d to become areality until 1980.

Commenting on the impact themerged church would have onecumenical ties with the CathoiicChurch, Msgr. Law said:

"For one thing, dialogue wouldbe simplified because some ofthe issues under considerationby Catholics and the nine Protes­tant churches could be resolvedcollectively by the consultationchurches."

Instead of talking with sepa­rate denominations over certainissues, if the merger is ratified,Msgr. Law said Catholics couldlook forward to discussing pointsof comlnon concern with onechurch body.

'Warm Relationship'

Msgr. Law said the presenceof Catholic observers, includingJan Cardinal Willebrands, headof the Vatican Secretariat forPromoting Christian Unity, atprevious consultation meetingsdemonstrates the Church's inter­est in its deliberations.

"Catholics," he said, "need towatch the union with great in­terest and give the effect theirprayers." .

If the draft plan is approved,Father Hotchkin anticipatesthere will be "a ~onsiderable

effort on the part of the Churchof Christ Uniting to be fully en­gaged in solritual ecumenismwith the Catholic Church." .

The proposed ~hurch, headded, "does not see itself as thefinal goal in the ecumenicalmovement, and this is the kindof thinking that leads to a deep­ening of relationships with otherchurches."

The Rev. Paul A. Crow Jr.,consultation general secretary, inPrinceton, N.J., told NC NewsService he sees the proposednew church "carrying forth, evenaccentuating the ecumenicalspirit. We see it involving awarm relationship with the Cath.­olic Church as well as otherChristian churches."

Rules Commmittee voting againstthe bill were identified in thePost-Intelligencer as "Catholics."

Questioned as to why thelegislators were not allowed reli­gious anonymity in a matterthat was legal, sociological, andeconomic and not exclusivelyreligious, a. spokesman on thePost-Intelligencer city desk toldNC News Service: "We are forit (the liberal abortion bill) andwe're going to support it,"

The spokesman added that thepaper has published stories deal­ing with both sides of the con­troversy.

ers' efforts to suppress opposi­tion to the bill even extended toinformation submitted by read­ers, pointing out there was "an­other side" to the issue.

Father Gandrau said he wastold by a woman editor of theTimes that she "found suchmaterial unsuitable for publica­tion" in the paper. The paperhad no further statement whenqueried by NC News Service.

The priest-editor charged theso..called public opinion "forums"and man-on-the-street interviewsprinted by the papers operatedon a highly selective basis, print­ing largely only those interviewsand opinions that conformedwith the abortion-on-demandpolicy of the publications.

"An editorial position is legiti­mate journalism," Father Gan­drau said. "It is in the best tradi­tion of the American press. Butthe deliberate slanting of thenews and the deprivation of thepeople's 'right to know' is morethan malicious; it is a denial ofthe very rights these papers sopiously pledge themselves to up­hold,"

C~tholic Editor SaysSuppressed - Abortioll1

SEATTLE (NC) - With acharge that they have "deliber­ately" suppressed news aboutopposition to a liberalized abor­tion measure, the Catholic news­paper here has locked horns withthe city's two daily papers, theHearst-owned Post-Intelligencerand the independently ownedTimes.

The liberalized abortion meas­ure cleared both houses of theWashington state legislatureduring a special session. Thelegislation now goes on the bal­lot for a referendum in the No­vember election.

Father James H. Gandrau,editor of the Catholic NorthwestProgress, archdiocesan news­paper, accused the two dailypapers of violating the code ofobjective reporting in their newscolumns.

He also complained that theCatholic community was, de'­prived of getting an accurateview of the abortion-on-demandbill proceedings because report­ers for the Catholic paper weredenied press credentials to coverthe hearings.

Freedom of PressRefusal of press credentials,

he said, denied access to thenews and "the people's right toknow" what transpired. FatherGrandrau said this matter hasbeen referred to attorneys forpossible court action to deter­mine whether a violation of the"freed.om of the press" was in­volved.

"We are beginning to feel thatperhaps Vice-President SpiroAgnew is right: there does seemto be a managed press, in west­ern Washington, at least,"Father Gandrau declared.

French PrelatesIssue StatementOn Celiba.cy

PARIS (NC)-The bishopsof the western region ofFrance have joined the bish~

ops of the ,northern and'southern regions in supportingobligatory celibacy.

The western bishops said thatthey will ordain future priestsonly from among those who "aredisposed to this total gift of con­secrated celibacy" and that thosewho have already been relievedof their commitment to celibacywill not be reinstated "in the ex­ercise of their priestly minlstry,"

In explaining the motives fortheir position the bishops said:"To be with men does not meanbeing like them in everything.That goes for all Christians, laypersons,Religious, priests,"

Earlier the bishops of thenorthern and southern regions ofFrance had also expressed sup­port for obligatory celibacy forpriests, as did Francois CardinalMarty of Paris, president 'of theFrench Bishops' Conference, in astatement issued after consulta­tion with the board of the perma­nent council of the conference.

Confamination of FaithAnother statement on celibacy

came from Archbishop AndrePailler of Rouen, who in a ser­mon denounced "the veritablebludgeoning of opinion" on thecelibacy issue.

Archbishop Pailler said hethinks "the present crisis comesfundamentally from the contami­nation of our faith by humanelements."

Although the Christian mustlive in the world and listen toits appeals and try to answerthem, ':the world cannot be hisnorm nor can the spirit of theworld become the spirit of Chris­tianity," the archbishop added.

Some groups in France, how­ever, have objected to continuingmandatory celibacy.

A group in northern Franceprotested against the statementof the bishops of that region andasked that in the future there bea dialogue with Catholics whohold various opinions before anystatement is issued.

CHICAGO (NC) - "The WhiteMan in the Black Community"will be the theme of a confer­ence to be held here March 31­April 2 by a group of priests andnuns who specialize in inner-citywork.

Sponsoring the event is thesix-year-old Catholic Clergy Con­ference on the Interracial Apos­tolate. This year for the firsttime the annual meeting will bere~ional rather than national.The Midwest conference willbe held at the University ofChicago's Center for ContinuingEducation.

The program will includepanels on neighborhood youthgangs, black power in Catholicparishes, police-community rela­tions and the role of white cler­gymen in. black communities.

Among the speakers will berepresentatives of the Chicagopolice department and the Afro­American Patrolman's League, amilitant caucus within the de­partment. Other panelists will in­clude black priests who havebeen involved in black powerstruggles within the Church,such as Fathers Rollins Lambertand George Clements.

great gift of a Word from God.Presentation of Gifts: Again in

a response, the people joyfullysee their "work of human hands"accepted for the altar and aboutto become their spiritual food.

Preface: The introductoryprayers and Sanctus (Holy, Holy,Holy) now begin the most solemnprayer of the Mass. Intentionsare here formed; a burning de­sire to have Christ more visiblypresent should burst into sec­onding the priest's great prayerof thanks (Preface).

Consecration: The acclamationthat follows the words of theinstitution should put beyondany doubt a Christian's faith inthe mystery enfolding before hisvery eyes.

Our Father: Th.e Lord's peti­tions should be ours, especiallybefore we share His meal. So werecite His Prayer; we ask Hisdeliverance; we acclaim Himwith the ancient doxology ofnear apostolic times "For theKingdom, the power, and theglory are yours, now and forever,"

The difference between ac­clamations, responses, medita­tion must be preserved if thegoals of the parish Mass areto bring about the unity of thecommunity and the sanctity ofthe individual.

It is not enough for one goodthing to succeed another goodthing. The nature and the pray­er or gesture must be weighed.Options are not just for marginsbut place a great responsibilityon the one(s) who are to decidethe adeQuate celebration for thatparticular place at that particu-lar time. '

The priest and lay people can­not begin their preparation whenthey 0R~n t~e missal ip the sanc­tu~ry or pew" Each' celebrationmust be planned; Scripture read­in~s and responses selected: ac­tions and processions varied andchosen. Particular meaning giv­en.

Greater solemnitv will not bedecided by the number of priestspresent (or acting like deaconsor subdeacons) by a greater in­volvement by all present.

The "new' Mass" is truly acelebration, an encounter, eachtime it is offered. It can neverbe an ordinary thing.

"There's time for song; there'sa time for silence; there's atime fOf acclamation; there's atime for listening," could welldescribe the "new Mass".

Participation is the goal; un­derstanding the threshold. Thereis no watching while someoneelse does his part but a prayerfuljoining of one llnathp-r's proneractions. All participate iri thewhole.

SilenceThe wide use of meditation

periods is possibly the new andprecious gem for the "newMass". It may be difficult at thebeginning and it may seem tolengthen the Ma.ss unnecessar­ily but its worth far exceedsany difficulty.

Action for action sake pro­duces nervousness and fatigue.H"mns could be sung; body pos­t"re~ emtid chanp'e nearly me­chanicallv. But Mass to praythe Lord's way. It may be Hisway but it must also be ourprayer as individuals. .

Penitential Rite: The privateexamination of conscience cando much for our whole participa­tion and bring us to really meanthe penitential rite as a whole.It is a true preparation for atrue sacrifice and there must al­so be a· true contribution. It 'isnot just a rite but a· facing offacts: "here we are-sinners."

The· Collect: .lust before thepriest recites the prayer aloud,the people "spend some momentsin silence so they may realizethat they are in God's presenceand may make their petitions,'~

(#32).Readin~s: The Scripture read­

in~s could well be followed bya brief period of silence so thateach one could apply the messageto his own life ·:before :quicklylaunching' OUt into th:Ei' 'gradu'al"or song. "At the conclUSion of areading lor homily, each' onemeditates briefly on what he hasheard," (#23).

Prayer of Faithful: One re­sponse (or all) may be privateand in silence so that each mayagain request their most inti­mate and private needs. (#47).

Post-Commull1ion: This periodof meditative silence so that man"praises God in his heart andprays (#23)" may be the moreuncomfortable for. the end ofMass is so close.

At each time, it is not truesilence that is expected but aperiod of active, fervent privateprayer. It will be difficult toachieve. But without it, theMass will soon degenerate intoanother series of mechanicalprayers and/or actions withmeaning only for the more stu­dious or those who pray private­ly no matter what is going on.

AcclamationsA burst of joy; an explosion of

praise at times should be the re­sponse to some particular. truthor guesture addressed to thepeople. These "constitute the ex­ternal sign of the communalcelebration and are .also the

. means of greater communicationbetween priest and people.(#15).

Kyrie: "This acclamation,which praises the Lord and im­plores his mercy, is ordinarilymade by all, i.e., with parts forthe people and for the choir orcantor. Each acclamation isnormally made twice, but, be­cause of the nature of the lan­guage, the music, or other cir­cumstances, the number may begreater or a short verse (trope)may be inserted. (#30),"

CLEVELAND (NC) - RetiredArchbishop Fulton J. Sheen has

. criticized strongly the UnitedStates policy of supplying arm!' 0

to smaller nations. He wasequally critical of the Soviet Un­ion.

In an address here before 1,200'persons, principally of' Lebanesedescent, the retired bishop ofRochester, N. Y., said the U. S.and U.S.S.R., in the competitionof supplying arms to smallermltions, are blocking the road toworld peace.

Spotlighting the currently crit­ical Middle East situation, thearchbishop compared it to theSpanish Civil War era in the1930s, when the two powerblocs, nazi Germany and fascistItaly, on one side, and the SovietUnion, on the other, rehearsed forWorld War II by 'engaging inSpain's internal problem.

The archbishop said it. is amuch more serious situation to­day. He warned the U. S. andU.S.S.R. now may be igniting the

Educator SeeksU.$" Cooperatio~

WASHINGTON (NC) - JohnLindemans, secretary general ofthe Catholic International Edu­cation Office, sees a great poten­tial for cooperation between U.S.Catholic educators and those inthe rest of the world.

Visiting here recently fromheadquarters in Brussels, Linde­mans said educational researchwould be one fruitful area forcoperation. American educatorshave done ex~ensive work in thefield, he said, and one of theirconcerns should be "how tomake it available to the rest ofthe world."

He cited teaching machines asanother example, pointing outthat they are being promoted inEurope not by American educa­tors, but by the companieswhich are manufacturing them.

Lindemans was in the UnitedStates to begin planning an Aprilboard meeting, slated to followthe National Catholic EducationalAssociation's annual convention,which some 40 members of hisorganization will also attend.

The office, established in 1952,. is a federation of national andother Catholic educational or­ganizations from 89 countriesaround the world. The NationalCatholic Education Association

Moreover, Father Ralph Ruiz,national chairman of Priests As­sociated ,for Religious, Educa­tional and Social Rights, said hebelieves the U. S. bishops willrecognize what he calls the needof the Mexican-American prieststo assert their self-identity.

That recognition is vital,Father Ruiz said, because it willenable Mexican-American prieststo h~lp the Spanish-speakingadvance in the Church and soci­ety, following the principle ofself-determination.

Be Again BacksPlan to RecruitBlack Student,s

BOSTON (NC) - Theboard of directors of BostonCollege, a Jesuit university,has reaffirmed a $500,000black student recruitment pro·gram commitment.

The board statement has beenmade in response to a list ofdemands submitted by a BlackStudents Forum.

The students' demands includea request for a all·black dormi­tory, an all-black students off­campus center, application of 40rer cent of federal aid receivedby the university to minorityprograms and a 10 per cent in­crease in black enrollments an­nually.

Debt NotwithstandingThe university board, noting

that its Black Talent programis designed for economically un­derprivileged and educationally"high risk minority students,"voiced support for the adminis­tration's policy of increasing thenumber of black students, fac­ulty and staff.

The directors also endorsed acommittee formed of black stu­dents faculty and administra­tors with the "responsibility forrecommending. policy" to thecollege's vice-presWent "con­cerning the education and wei­fare of all black students.'~

commitment has been apJ!>roveddespite the current $3.2 millionoperating deficit.

A spokesman for the blackstudents said his group would be"very unhappy" with the direc­tors' statement because theboard is "not really talking toour specific demands."

Says Aid. Best HopeFor School Survival

BOSTON (NC) - Richard Car­dinal Cushing of Boston saidhere that tax support:ed state aidis virtually the only hope forsurvival of the Catholic paro­chial school system.

"We hope that some way willbe found to.receive public assist­ance, at least for those servicesthat our schools provide that areequivalent to the services of thepublic school," the Cardinal said.

"We ask this only because weneed it for survival at this time;we have not sought it formerly.We feel, all the same, that weare asking for something whichall citizens should feel justly be­longs to our youngsters," headded.

It was the cardinal's first pub­lic statement spelling out theproblems facing Cathdlic schoolsin the Boston archdiocese andexplaining the continuing seriesof announcements about closingsof parish schools.

Appoint RectorOf Rome College

.VATICAN CITY (NC)-FatherJohn W. Manning, a MaryknollMissioner from Boston, has beennamed rector of Rome's Pontifi­cal Urban Theological College dePropaganda Fide.

Fath~r ' Manning; 43, will as­sume charge of this. residencefor theological students frommissionary countries on July 1.

For the past 13 years he hasbeen an official of the Congreg~­

tion for the Evangelization 'ofPeoples, which directs theChurch's worldwide missionaryeffort. For two years before that,while earning a doctorate incanon law at the pontifical Uni­versity of St. Thomas, he actedas private secretary to the then'prefect of that congregation, thelate Pietro Cardinal FumasoniBiondi.. He has since acted as secre­tary to the present prefect,Pietro Cardinal Agagianian, andhas made working trips throughmost of the Church's missionterritories.

Father Manning attended Bos­ton Latin School until his entryinto Maryknoll minor seminaryin Clark's Summit, Pa., in 1943.He was ordained in June, 1953.

Be Meaningfulwith St. Paul; or Andre Gidewith St. Luke; or Jean PaulSartre with St. James. Thatwould be fine for me. But whatof the milkman, the taxi driver,the stenographer, the laborer, thelawyer - they could care lessabout these comparisons.

Am I going to inflict my mean­ingfulness on them? Certainlynot. In the language of theschoolmen - en problema, wehave a problem.

Meaningful to AllWe have to cater to all of the

people, all of the time. The Masshas to be meaningful for the col­lege professor as well as for thegarbage man. We all know this.And we all want to make theMass a reality in the lives ofall our people. These new re­forms, if properly done, withcare, preparation, and devotion,can be meaningful for all.

The reform will have to comefrom us. We are going to haveto rid ourselves of the belief thatmeaningfulness must be inspiredby exteriors-guitars and bongodrums, and that an outside sup­ply of something or other shouldinject itself into us and boostour emotions and consequentlyour spirituality.

I can't see much meaningful­ness in consecrating Chianti andParker House rolls. Catholicismworks on the premise that reli­gion is a challenge. Hope is achallenge. Charity is too. Whycan't prayer -and a rapport withChrist through these new re­forms be a challenge?

Essentials SameThese new liturgical reforms

herald a new epoch in the lifeof the Church. We have toimpress on our people that thereforms are just that - RE­FORMS. They are a natural de­velopment of years of study.Nothing . essential has beenaltered. . .,. . .v

The work of reforming theMass is in 'effect a respectfuland a loving restoration of ges­tures, acts, and prayer foqnulaswhich were and have been sup­pressed over· the centuries.

Under the new reforms, Massnow begins with a rite of pen­ance. Gone are the prayers atthe foot of the altar. The dia­logue, often mumbled by sheerrote by the celebrant and some­times inarticulate server, hasbeen replaced.

Now, the whole Christian com­r-lunity takes part in a "purifica­tion of spirit" before beginningto celebrate the tremendous &ndliterally awful mystery of. theEucharist. The entire Christiancommunity publicly acknowl­edges its guilt ancJ its sin, andseeks pardon (not sacramentallyof course) from God.

The Scripture readings havenow been revised to include por­tions from the Old Testament,the New Testament, and furtherreadings from the evangelists.Over the course of years, ourpeople will now be able to hearand meditate on more of God'sWord.

Better and more meaningfultranslations of the Gloria andCreed have been prepared.

Presentation of GiftsThe Offertory will present a

more visual amplification. It isstrongly recommended that the,bread and wine used at Mass, bebrought to the altar of sacrificeby the faithful. Their participa­tion once again is emphasized.This simole rite dates back tothe very beginnings of Christian­ity itself.

If you were to brush up onyour Greek, and read in the 9thand 10th chapters of theDIDACHE, you would alreadyhear the sound of the revisedversion of the ordo missae « 0) "

The author of the editorial hadno intention of giving praise toPope John and the reforms ofVatican II. Yet I could not helpbut think how apt was his choiceof the word-catastrophe.

If one could sum up the wholeof Vatican II in one word, thatword, catastrophe would suffice.In its most literal sense, it meansan overturning, a reversal. It issomething with which we,. asChristians live with daily.

.Priests' RessmnslbiHtyNot too many years ago, the

works of J.R.R. Tolkien werehousehold phrases in homes allover the land. High schoolersand sophisticated collegians eag­erly devoured "The Lord Of TheRings," and his other equally ap­pealing novels. What many donot realize is that ProfessorTolkien is also a tolerable theo­logian. He makes reference tothe present reforms in thechurch as "a catastrophe of joy,"

He goes on to state that "theresurrection, the Incarnation, theMass-these are catastrophes inthe most literal sense,"

God, by becoming one of us,by sharing our humanity, andgiving us His Body and Blood,through the memorial of theMass, has in the words of Teil­hard de Chardin, given us an"unexpected enlargement."

As priests, God has summonedus to a unique responsibility. Hehas entrusted us with the ulti­mate task of making this earthmore human as well ,as moreGodlike. To shirk this dutywould be disloyal both to ourvocation and to God.

Reforms Not ChangesThe liturgical reforms - they

are not changes-which VaticanII calls for are valid, sensiblemeans to attain this "unexpectedenlargement." They help bringGod to man and man to' 'God..."\"

I think that you will agreewith me that today, for the mostpart, Catholics have lost thedynamic and vital meaning ofthe Church. They belong to theChurch. They go to Church. Butmanv fail to realize that theyARE the Church.

Most Catholics believe thetenets of the faith. As far asbasics go, they are quite pleased.They believe in the Trinity, theIncarnation, in transubstantia­tion, and the like. It is the trap­pings of the Faith that is turningthem off.

In an attempt to reach ameaningful Mass or Liturgy,many priests have designed andmade amplifications of what onecan only hope are authentic anddogmatically allowed variations,and extension of the Mass.

Guidelines or ChaosThese run the gamut from

total Bible sessions, to Jazz androck Masses, to the more emo­tionally clad vehicles of expres­sion. I certainly do not condemnliturgical experimentations. Weneed this type f thing, withinreason. I am not condemningLatin Masses. All of us shouldrealize, however, that theseMasses please some of the peo­ple all of the time, but not allof the people all of the time.

Guidelines have to be set up,or else chaos results. If allowedto run its own way, the Masscould become a minstrel show,a type of cocktail party, a troupeof dancers, the litany is inex­haustible.

To be extremely subjective, Iwould find the Mass "meaning­ful" if a bit of Malcom Boyd orT.S. Eliot could be injected intothe readings at Mass.

It would be thrilling to com­pare the misery of some of thecontemporary , cynics with theglowing promises of Christianity.Imagine comparing Albert Camus

Attacking the Finch proposal,the priest' added:

"Without in any way showingthat such plan will in fact im­prove environment conditions inour country, he suggests that theAmerican people embark on thisnew social experiment."

Father McHugh also scoredthe HEW record under Finch,charging it "leaves much to bedesired" in matters of racialequality, improved medical careand quality education.

Some of us, unfortunately,look upon the liturgical reformswith hesitation. To admit themrequires the abandonment of oldattitudes and a re-valuation ofnew ones. Religion often reflectsthe attitudes of secularism. "It'snice, but let's leave it in church,and above all don't tamper withit."

We shall have to prepare ourpeople for this restored rite andtake care that we recite thesebrief but magnificent prayerswith piety and reverence.

We, and our people, are nowon familiar terms with the fouranaphora. There should be nocause for difficulty here. Thereare some slight visual changes­the major and minor elevationsso called. These actions shouldbe explained in the light of theirhistorical and liturgical develop­ments.

- Ancient Acclamation

After the embolism of the"oratio ,dominica", the liturgyrestores yet another preciousgem-another very ancient ac­clamation of the people * * * one

, so dear to the very early Chris­tians. Our people are now askedto recite aloud "for thine is thekingdom, the power, and theglory, for ever and ever."

There should be no cause forraised eyebrows or cries of Prot­estantism. This phrase has al­ways been in the canon of theRoman church. It is simply'beingrestored to its rightful place.

The "signs of peace" has alsobeen given its rightful placeagain in the liturgy of theChurch. This is very ancient andvery much in the spirit of theGospels. Before meeting Christin the Eucharist, each Christianis able to encounter Him in' theeyes and in the embrace of hisneighbour.
