Updating Laws Governing The Diocese of Fall River

Most Reverend James L. Connolly, Bishop of Fall River, promulgates today a collection (j)f diocesan laws-technically known as "Pro­£ynodal Statutes"-affecting clergy and laity land all facets of church life. The purpose of ibis action, without precedent in the Fall River Diocese, is to update' diocesan statutes as a­l!l:leans of implementing the decrees and direc­tives of Vatican II and of providIng clear-guide­lNnes for uniform pastoral practice in minister­nog to the spiritual needs of the people of God in the Diocese

The collection was long in preparation. Bishop Connolly first publicly disclosed

Lis intention to revise diocesan regulations at 11 meeting of the Diocesan Pastoral Council in,

the Spring of 1967. Consultation with the priests of the diocese, meetings of commissions composed of clergy, religious and laity, and finally a series of revisions have taken place throughout the intervening months prior to today's publication.-

Now invested with the legislative authority possessed by Bishop Connolly, these enactments assllme the force of diocesan particular law.

Traditionally diocesan laws of this kind are f0rt11ally enacted in a synod, a liturgical ceremony conducted in the cathedral church. However, many and varied modifications of

church order and discipline continue to be in­troduced during the post-conciliar period and the Holy Father is presently conducting a thorough revision of universal Church law.

Consequently, a less formal method of pro­'.mulgation of these diocesan laws was desirable; :they are; nonetheless~.authoritative and binding.

Sonle changes which. t.he new statutes in­troduce 'in the Diocese are il~med~ately ,notice­able. A~;ong these is the granting of faculties

to priests from other New England dioceses. This authorizes the exercise of many priestly functions. It is expected that several neighbor­ing diocesc~s will reciprocate by granting their faculties to Fall River priests.

Bro'ader disc.retion in scheduling the hours of wedding ceremonies and funeral services is allowed and couples planning marriage have the right to select the priest of their parish whom they wish to officiate.

Provision for the celebration of Mass fac­ing the people becomes mandatory for parish churches.

While public annual celebration of a sol­emn First Holy Communion day is to be re­tained in, every parish, the role' of parents in preparing their children for 'receiving the Holy Eucharist is noted, and the new statutes permit greater flexibility in admitting youngsters to this Sacrament. In all instances where church law permits reception of Communion under Both Species, this may now be done without recourse to the Chancery Office.

When the priests of the Diocese participate in various ceremonies and services, the obligation of reciting the Divine Office is reduced to the hours of Lauds and Vespers only.

Reflecting, the "collegial" spirit of Vati ­can II, the statutes urge cooperation by laity in diocesan and parish affairs in many ways, notably thr~ugh service on .parish councils and local school boards.

Father Connolly noled that many of the papal critics are saying:

"If the Holy Father would only live in the real world and thus come to know its problems, and if he had followed the ad­vice of his experts, he never would have issued his encyclical on birth control."

In the face of this criticism, Father Connolly said, "one can

. only wonder if they have actu­ally read the document."

The national coordinator trac­ing the development of the Pope's thought in the encyclical noted that the document begins by listing the various reasons cited by the critics for a change in the Church's traditional ban on contraception, thus showing an understanding of the "real world" by his familiarity with the arguments for changing the Church's stand.

Father Connolly emphasizedJFR. JAMES JF. KELLlEir

that the Pope considered all the data available to him, conclud­ing tha,t, in view of man and his destiny, his eternal life as well as his earthly one, man may not tamper with the marriage act.

The radio and TV director noted that the Pope says a cou-

·;Nfi~ed . Good Public 'Relations'" CINCINNTI (NC) - Catholic

institutions need effective pub­lic rE~lations in order to survive; a veteran Catholic public rela­tions official said here. .

. Ed......ard P. VonderHaar, vice­president for public relations and clevelopment at Xavier Uni:' versity and president of the Public Relations Society of Amel'ica, spoke at the 16th an­nual Conference on Business Problems of Catholic Institu­

. tions, held on the Xavier cam:' pus. _

, Haar. told,an·audience of'admin~

istrators ,and other ,officials. '.'you will find many who share your '~hinking and who. are will-, ing to> '" '" *.respond with some­thing of value." , /

"The institutions that have 'a good I~hance to continue through the y,~ars with such a response are Ufose which have been pro­jectin,g the image of their ,true selves," he said. "If they are Catholic institutions, that pro­jection must be one that reflects the faithful guarding of their CathoJ.ic commitment, absolute integr:lty in all dealings, social juStiCE' and charity - internally and externally, and a never­ending striving for excellence. And, in the spirit of Pope John, an a'biding respect for the con­scienCE: of everyone."

He ,ldded: "When non-profit organi:mtions and institutions fail to make clear their motives, their ability to meet current needs, their intention to plan. ahead, their record of service, they lose friends and gifts."

I Need Public Support Vonc'erHarr said. "the image

grows out of the institution, its policieli, programs and proce­

. dures as determined by manage­ment . and as carried out by every member of the organiza­tion."

At the same time, he ex­plained the image "can and should be projected for the good of the. 'organization, because it' is constantly in need of public support * '" *" .

VonderHaar said it is as >im- ' portant to "project the image interna:tly" as to .project it to the general public. "It is often pointed out that recognition of' an employe in his role as an in­tegral unit in a successful oper­ation if: more important to his sense oi: security and his happi­ness them a raise in salary."

Council to, Meet . , Life, Pla~s Fall Book Publication Czechs ApproveIn California ANAHEIM (NC) ~ Reso­ By Patricia Francis Bi$hop's Return

lUtions dealing with the ac­ifivities of war protesters and decrying criticism of bishops' authority within the 0hurch are among those being presented to delegates to the 86th annual meeting of the Su­preme Council of the Knights of €olumbus which opens here at !£he Anaheim Convention Center lllext Tuesda)I.

In all, some 180 resolutions .ill be considered by the almost 400 delegates rrom the 'United States, Canada, Mexico, the Phil ­ippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Panama Canal Zone, Guam and $uatemala.

The Supreme Council is the I&tghest legisiative body of the 1,200,000-member fraternal soci­ety of Catholic men. During the three-day meeting the delegates wdll examine v-arious activities and programs of the society.

A proposed resolution taking Itssue with the activities of some pacifist groups would put the GOciety on record as deploring the unpatriotic actions of those Iind,ividuals who burn draft cards, desecrate the flag of our country, destroy government records or property, interfere with or ob­lStTuot military activity."

Social Action Progll'ams

Another resolution commends I%he bishops of North America "for their unselfish and. devoted dedication to the spiritual wel­fare of the Catholic people; for their courageous and intelligent 'leadership in the face of the many challenges of these chang­ing times; and for their judicious restraint and paternal under­standing in suffer,ing the some­times shrill voice of criticism."

According to another proposal the fraternal society would go on record as opposing "any laws which provide tax funds for the support of birth control" or "any wws which liberaIize abortion or any rccognition of 'mercy killing' or, any similar attempt to deny ~he right to life' or the dignity of life or any control over life by any level of government." .

Other resolutions urge the strengthening of social action programs within the order to deal with the issues of poverty and equal opportunity in jobs, Ihousing and education.

mscan priest who passed out literature on alternatives to the draft in Portland along with six students from St. Francis Col­lege here, said the "conscience of wday's, students is in conflict with the current draft laws of tilis country.'"

The Franciscan handed out a GOO-word breakdown on Feder­al laws regarding conscientious objection to a large group of j'Oung inductees a.nd enlistees about to take a pre-induction physical' at a Portland induction renter.

Declares Arms Expend.iture Source of Economic Ris~

By Barbara Ward

When Pope Paul asks the wealthy nations to adopt a sllstained and adequate strategy for world development­with more aid, a long term investment program and trade concessions to the pOOl'er nations- he adds an urgent plea that Christians be active in .all their, "constituencies," one sh<Juld add that to include

investment under the heading ofbusiness, unions, universi­a "drain" is perfectly ridiculousties, politics, to see that such anyway since it steadily widens

a is carried out. And

STONEHILL CATECHETICS INSTITUTE: Among the 300 religious and laym~J1ll from throughout the United States and Canada who attended the Institute at Stone­hill College in a program of renewal' in catechetical education were five priests from

... the Diocese of Fall River. They were: Rev: Maurice R. Jeffery, St. John the Baptist,

stratergy his urgency comes from a per­fectly realistic assessment of the difficulties any policy of expansion and development has to overcome. The wealthy nations do not have a strategy. What little they have is falling «>ffin a desul­tory, almost cas­ual way. And a whole range of

'objections are raised when any­one-including the Pope-sug­

'gests that, in mel'CY, justice and sheer realism, the drift OUg~t to . be reversed.

· .We ought to understand these objections. This year the eco­nomic asistance program of the most wealthy Western nation­the United States-may for the

. first time fall below the $2 bjl ­lion mark (less than 0.3% of GNP, or gross national product, which, is the technical term for t.he sum of a nation's goods and services). It will fake more than easy arguments, professions f)f fai,th or moral appgals~ven

from the Pope himself to set new directions for Atlantic stra­tegy. Unless specific doubts can be dispelled and cogent counter arguments produced, the present

, trend has only one way to go­·and that is down.

Balanee of I!a)'meoi& The first and most immediate

ebjection is that in 1968 most &f the wealthy nations an~ caught in an economic crisis which puts pressure, on their balance of payments, l'isks a 'run on .their foreign reserves and exposes' them to the horrendous possibil ­ity of being cut off, by rising prices ,md uncompetitive inef­ficiency, from the world market. The United States, Britian an~

now France face this dange'r. How, then ,can anybody argue for more spending overseas when it would only increase the prC6sure?

Three Jteasons One cannot deny the potential

crisis. The question is, however, whether siashing economic as­

, sistance is a sensible way to meet it. And there are three very cogent reasons for doubting it. . In the first place, a very high proportion of the aid is "tied." It can be spent only on, goods supplied by the country also' supplying the currency. In the case of the United States, 90 per cent 'of all aid is tied to the purchase of American supplies. Compared with the billions which go out- of the United States each year for completely untied tourism, for instance, the 1967 figures of $4.7 billions, or, again for 1967's investment, $4.2

· billions, the strain added by foreign aid is minimal. Qf course,

: formalities in the Catholic com­munity., '

America's investment income from overseas, now running at $6,9 billions ~ year.

In fact, it is ridiculous to talk at!. all about"drains"and"strains" on America when one recalls that the United States' sum of goods and services (its GNP) is now above $850 billions-or 40 per cent 'of the world's en­tire' income-and that of this sum, all that slops over the front­iers in the shape of a balance of payments deficit is some $2 billions-or about one/two hun­dredth of the vast total. To panic over this is no service either, to America' or to world stability.

Opens Markets But the ridiculously small ef­

fect of aid on the balance of payments does not mean that it

,is without positive influence. This brings us to the second arg­ument. Aid goes to markets that are still undeveloped. It sets economic change in' motion in areas that might otherwise stag­nate. It is ,therefore, like in-' vestment,. a factor of expansion in the world economy. Hone of the legitimate worries about the American " bal~lnce of payments is America's present tendency to

, import" more than is exPorted and thus incur a deficit on trade alone' (leaving out other trans­fers),' ~hen it 'is hardly....,wise to eut b!lCk on expenditures ,which

,widen overs~as' markets, open up new possibilities of trade and take some pressure off the in­dustrial powers who migh,t other­wise find themselves competing for sales in a shrinking world market.

Tbe Crux What then can be, cut? And

the ,obvious' candidate is the horrific, stedle expenditure, year after year, on arms. Here is the true hemorrhage, the true source of whatever risk 'there, is of' economic disaster. If, as Mr~ Robert MacNamara stated while still Secretary of Defense, there" is more true securi~y in' an added dollar spent on de­velopment than an extra dollar spent' in defense; to cut o~t ec­onomic assistance while l'.'laving the arms budget above' the $80 billioil mark is to mistake' the shadow of. security for the real­ity.

Here is the root of the, close connection Pope Pa,ul draws b~

twee~ ,reductions in arms and his concept of a Development Fund; and the issue is of such trans­cendent importance that we will look at it more closely next week.

5 Tempotrary Plan To In~Q,9S"e Inner City ~rr@perty

'l'RENTON (NO) - The New Jersey commissioner of insurance and banking has ordered that a temporary plan to provide insurance cov­eel'age for property in inner­city areas be instituted. It would compel insurance companies to insure those properties consid­eered insurable and will remain .en effect until a permanent plan .is drafted.

Comm. Charles R. Howell said iJhe 20 insurance companies which wrote the lal'gest net volume of property insurance in the state last year will share the insurance on a pool basis.

1.'he pennanent plan, he said, will be drafted by the directors of the New Jersey Insurance Undel'writing Association.

The purpose of both moves is eo counteract the actions taken by insurance companies in can­celing insurance .on properties in the inner-city after last sum­mel"s widespread rioting.

Insurance Pool

Howell said property owners who have been denied insurance may apply to him for insurance and the property will then be examined by the fire insurance rating organization. If the prop­erty is determined to be unin-' surable, the, property owner will be informed of the reasons why' and after correcting the con­ditions can reapply for insur­SInce.

Property which is deemed to be insurable will be assigned to the insurance pool, the insur­ance being placed with one of the participating companies on II rotating basis.

According to Howell, "envir­onmental hazards beyond the control of the applicant or ow­ner of the property shall be con­

. sidered in determining insur­able. condition.". A. maJ:(imum coverage of $150,000 has been .set.

LuthevQ~s Favor New Regcme

VIENNA (NC) - Lutheran leaders in Czechoslovakia have hailed recent politicai changes in the country and have also asked for greater religious free­dom.

The statement, published in the official Lutheran paper, Evanjelicky Posol Spod Tatier, was issued by the general coun­cil of the Slovak Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Con­fession in Czechoslovakia, which has solne 510,000 members; the presidium of the association of the Slovak Lutheran clergy and professol's of the Slovak Luth­eran theological faculty.

Addressed to the Communist party central committees of Czechoslovakia and Slovakia and to their respective first sec­retaries, Alexander Dubcek and

'Vacil Billak, the document ex­pressed confidence that "the principles of democratization and of humanizing socialism im Czechosolvakia .will consequent­ly be achieved."

Earlier this year a shakeup in the Czechoslovakian regime bl'Ought Dubcek into power as leader of the country's Commu­nist party in place of old-line Stalinist Anlonin Novotny. Lib­eralizing developments followed leading to the lessening of many curbs on the Church and reli ­gion.

Overwhelming Success

The pilot program, termed "'Operation Cassette" by Xavier Society officials, was the fi rst in this country, and met with overwhelming success. This to­tully new concept developed out of a survey of some 3,000 blind readers of the Catholic Review -the Xavier Society's monthly Braille magazine.

Pleads for Return Of Cardlonal Beran

BONN (NC)-A Czechoslova­kian writer has pleaded for the return of Joseph Cardinal Beran, exiled' archbishop of Prague, to his See.

The writer, Jan Prochazka, in the periodical, Myr 68, said, "The Prague cardinal should be in Prague and not live homeless in Roman exile."

Prochazka, who is one of the intellectual leaders of Czecho­slovakia's present liberalization, said that it would be right to apologize for unfair treatment of Catholics' in the past. .

Cardinal Beran went to RQ,Ille in 1965 under a barf,rain between the Holy See and the regime of the now deposed Czech com­munist leader Antonin Novotny. He had been' under communist detention ainee 1945.

taped copies of these periodicals to any visually handicapped person iIi the U. S. or Canada.

Through a volunteer reading program, the Xavier Society is taping libl'ary books on the easy-to-use cassettes, as well as open-face reels, and a catalog of available titles will be published shortly. In view of the fact that only 15 per cent of the visually handicapped in the U. S. and Canada read araille, the society is making an extended effort to place on tape more than 7,500 Braille volumes now on the shelves of its library.

Plaids Are in for Fall By Marilyn Roderiek

The clan's gone mad this Fall and the :reason is "plaid." Jes the season's news for Fall is the Sootch look an the way. You;ve heard of flower p<Ywer, wen, the slogan for Autumn '68 is plaid power and if you want to be m the forefront of fl3'shioo you'U either invest in a tarlan­bright outfit or buy' yourself a bolt of one of. the blanket­type fabrics and set yourself down at the sewing machine. If you have trepi- . dations about cutting out plaids to match, both the Au­gust/September Vogue pattern book and one of the little paper booklets -t hat - McCalls has for free at yo u r sewing department give instructions on how to layout pattern pieces on plaid fabric.

In the Vogue instructions the novice sewer is urged to select a plaid of simple design for her first venture and to avoid apat~ tern with a !ot of details.

Most pattern envelopes 9tate that the yardage given is not measured ful1 a plai fabric, there­fore you will need about a half yard more if you're using a Bmall plaid and about a yard more if you've chosen one of the large window pane or blanket designs.

Vogue is noted for.its explicit and detailed instructions and tbis article in the latest pattern magazine is probably the best you'll find on the subject. So if you are thinking' of using one of the exciting tartans for a sewing project and you're a littie hesi­tant about the cutting, then by all means pick up this issue.

Plaid Ball Gow~ . One of the most unexpected

Ulles of the Scottish tartans is :Ilound in a McCall aesign for a hostess or ball dress. This long gown is done up (or run up) in a Royal Stewart tartan and it's ju9t lovely. It has long sleeves that end in heavy black ~ro~ ebeted lace, a slightly scooped neckline and a fitted bodice.

..This type of dress would be per­fect for a grand entrance of understated elegance!

For those who prefer to buy their fashions right off the racks, the selection of styles in plaid! designs is eno'rmous, Huge black and white plaids are made into woolen jumpers,' bright yellow and red plaid classic have been . converted into handsome coa,ts that would look equally well on the city scene as on the campus,

group of easy silhouettes that will look fresh w~en you don't 'feei that way. Many of the

. plaid fashions are crisply trim­med with white collar and cuffs or scarfed with mat.ching stoles.

and the argyle plaids that once . were the "thing" to knit up for. ,Re-examme Priorities

member way back when stoles used to be a fabulous fashion, 'marvelous to swing ar6und your shoulders or drape around your neck, then you'll appreQiate their return with ma,tching plaid dirndl skirts. And even if :vou're too young to remember, you'll take to. their fashion news' in­stantly upon s;ig·hting.

!For Jump Ropers

The' jump rope' set is 'not ne­glected and such top flight d~". signers as Bill Blass are mHking sure that your dimpled darling will be as up to the minute as Mommy. Blass does a group of gray-camel and beige plaid dresses teamed with gray wool for those fashion plates in the 4-6 and 7 to 14 range. One lit ­tle diagonal closing number is ·trimmed in frilly white and pearl buttons, while another has a plaid vest over a full plain gray wool skirt and soft white blouse. Plaids have been a' fa­vorite fabric for centuries. They create a richness of' appearance unequaled in any other type' of wool, .they look well on almost all age levels and they stand up well under the stress, strain and dirt of modern living.

This lat~r attribute rnake~

them a marvel for mothers and the plaid ou,tfit that we buy the toddler always ends up looking better longer than the wishy­washy pastel that sllows eve'£y stain. .

One .plaid coat that I bou-ght · f h f'dunng my res man year 0 col­

lege has refused to wear out.' It was worn during four years ·of college and, about nine years . of marriage until finally I put. it in the pile destined for the next clothing drive only to have my mother see it and claim it to ·wear "at least back and forth grocery shopping."

..And the ·amazing part of this

16 year old coat is that the plaid hasn't lost one ounce of its

.beauty. Plaid is a classic, so make sure you .have a few· in your wardrobe fur the comingFall and Winter.

Jumpers have returned in ever greate:r numbers, only now you don't just wear them to class or work. You buy a lovely, frilly feminine blouse,· team it with a plaid classic and an eve­ning outfit is yours for the ask­ing. '.

Diocesan Directives Affecting' Sacramental Life

New Rules and Regulati01).sr. Are in -J~orce Today

Continued ikom Pa,ge Nine

'''Dh'e liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time "it is the foundation from which all. her 'power flows. For the goal of apostolic works is ·that all who ,are made sons. of God by faith and baptism should come together ,to praise God. in the . midst of His Church, to take part in her sacrifices, a;ld to eat the Lord's, Supper." ,

Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 10. I

36. Since the Mass is the central act of worship of the people of God, the .celebrant is to follow liturgic,al, and rubrical norms. No one is to introdUCe changes or inno~aHons on his own authority.

37. The Diocesan Liturgical Commission willtraris­mit pertinent directives and information to the priests of the. diocese, a.nd always remains available. for con­sultation.

38: Masses on Sundays, holy days, first Fridays, and during Lent are to be' celebrated at hours convenient for the faithful. , ',

39. in scheduling parish Masses, consideration should be given to the celebration of a late afternoon or early

, evening Mass daily to encourage the 'faithful to assist at Mass more frequeotly. .,

40. General permfssion is given to priests to concele­brate whenever the needs 'of the faithful do not require priests t9 offer indhvidual Masses. Each ,priest always retains his right to celebrate Mass indivi,dually, although not, at' the same time in the' same church. as the. concelebrate.d Mass. .

41. A priest may binate on weekdays and trinate on Sundays and holy' days to provide for' the n~eds 01. ' the faithful.

42., It is..fitting that Mass be offered in the homes of the sick, and aged ,and shut-ins and .for this a priest may binate, and use an an,temensium. ' . ' '

43 .. Extraneous material should not be' interjected between, the Liturgy'of th'e Word ,and the, Liturgy ()f ~heEuchadst. Parish announcements are to be made through a printed bulletin.

.A pastoral letter of the bishop may take the place of , the homHy. ..

The hoinily is an' integral' part of the Mass wherein ,the mysteries and guiding principles of the faith are expounded from the sacred teXtts. It is obligatory on Sundays and holy days, even during the summel'; it is strongly recommended daily in the houses of ,religious and is'desiI'able in every daily parish Mass.

44. The prayer of the faithful. is an integral part of every parish Mass and may be varied for local parish intentions:

'45. Properly trained laymen are to assume their 'distinctive role as lectors at S,unday Masses.

46. The altar of sacrifice is to be a ""orthy one located so that Mass may be offered facing the people.

47. The sanctuary should clearly provide a presiden­tial' chair and lectern for the Liturgy of the Word, and an altar of sacrifice for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. If the altar of sacrifice has a tabernacle, the Blessed Sacrament may not be reserved at the beginning of Mass;

Each ChUl'ch and chapel should have in a place of honor and prominence only one tabernacle which is properly the place of reservation of the Blessed Sacra­ment. This' tahernacle must be completely covered with a veil and have provision for an adjacent burning light.

The baptistry should be distinctive and located to indicate its dignity as the place of initiation into Christ.

The bishop, with members of the Building and-Litur­gical Commissions, will determine the norms for reno':' vating existing churches and building new ones.

48. To provide for the dignity and beauty of the' liturgy, competent and contemporary artists skilled in matters liturgical are to be consulted.

49. Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament as the' fruit of the Sacrifice of the Mass is to be encouraged through periods of public and private adoration. .

50. Church' ·instructions and regulations regarding music for worship are preceptive in character. Com­petence and authority regarding the type of" music and instruments appropriate for worship rest with the Diocesan Music Commission. Organists, choir' directors and interested persons should attend Music Comrrlission workshops, cOlidlicted periodically' to keep pace with trends and problems in church music. .

51: Parochial and CCO schools are urged to include in their curricula the meaning of liturgy and the teaching of music fOl' church worship.

52. Under the direction and guidance of the bishop, every priest has I the obligation to implernent to the fullest all the decrees of Vatican Council II and subse­quent instructions in regard' to the liturgy.

f '.

"The purpose of the sacraments is to sanctify' men, to build up the body of Christ, and, ,finally,

,'to give worship to God; because' they a~e signs they also. instruct. They not only presuppose faith, but by words and objects they als~

nourish, strengthen, and express it... They do indeed impart grace, but, in addition, the very act of celebrating them most effectively disposes the faithful to receive this, grace in a fruitful manner, to' worsrip God duly, and to practice charity."

. Constit\l'tion on ~he Sacred Liturgy, No. 59.

Jesuit Lawyers Join in Defense Of Protestors

BALTIMORE (NC)~Two

Jesuit priests were among five lawyers who appeared in Baltimore County Oircuit Court and the Federal Court in Beltimore to join in the defense of nine war protestors facing vial lor storming a Selective Service office in Catonsville, Md., and burning spme 600 draft files. ..-/

~ Jesuit lawyers joining the ease were Father Robert R. Dri­nan, S.J., dean of the Boston College law school, and Father William C. Cunningham, S.J., of the Loyola University law school, Chdcago.

One 'of the defendants-Father Daniel Berrigan, S.J., chaplain at Cornell University - recently complained the Jesuit society "prefers silence to courageous speech." '.

Following Father Berrigan's May arrest, Father James lVi. S<>merville, S.J., provincial for higher education for the New York Jesuit province, said the order' would take no action to censure the priest but neither would it help him.

On Hils Own

"Since Father Berrigan under­took the action that led to .his own arrest on his own initiative MId in response to the dictates of his own conscience, I am sure th3lt Father Berrigan anticipated the consequences of his civil dis­obedience, including the fact that the Society of Jesus would not post bail and that he would have to accept whatever penal­ties he might incur under civil law" Father Somerville said.

Father Ber.rigan's brother­Father Philip Berrigan, S.S..J. w~o is also among the defend­ants-was relieved of his duties as assistant pastor at St.' Peter ClaveI' churoh in Baltimore by his Josephite superiors immedi­atelyfoUowing the burning inci­dent..

Since, Father Philip Berrigan was given a six-year sentence. for participating in an earlier blood~spiHing protest fit the Maryland state selective service' office in Baltimore. The sentence is being appealed but the Jo­sephite priest is being held with­'out bail.

Two La SuZette Priests Mark Golden Jubilee . .

At Ceremonies' in Attleboro, East Brel,vster Two La Sc'llette jubiia-rians, Rev. El'ineric Dubois, M.S., and Rev. Wilfrid Boulanger,

M.S., were honored this month at a concelebrated Mass and dinner at La Salette Shrine, Attleboro.' Both priests made profession as M·issiona·ries of Our Lady of La Salette in 1918, at the community's novitiate in' Bloomfield, Conn. Shortly after, they were sent to pursue their studies at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. In 1924, they were ordained to the priest ­hood. in Fribourg.

Father Dubois

Father Dubois was 1899 in Ware, Mass.,

loorn where

at La Salette's newlytaught opened Seminary in Enfield, N. H., of which in 1928, he was Hamed' first director.

Eleven years later, the Franco­.A,merican aposto}at«~ of the La Salette community was recog­nized by Rome as an indepen­dent 'vice-province, and Father Dubois became its :t'irst superior while maintaining residence in Enfield.

With the rapid development of this segment of the congrega­

tion, the Holy See granted it the status of full-fledged province in 1946, and the jubilarian, who remained at its head until 1951,transferred the provincial head­quarters to East Brewster, MaSs. Thus La Salette made' its first

appearance on Cape Cod. From 1952 until 1954 Father

Dubois taught at the La Salette scholasticate. in Attleboro and was then named superior of the house for four years. I'n 1958 he was named first councillor of the new provincial administra­tion under the late Father Philippe LeBlanc, M.S.

In 1959, at the age of 60, he was asked to Jiound a new school in Spain. He labored there in great poverty., until his J'etum

Board Considers Possible Merger Of Colleges }

COLLEGEVILLE (NC)­The possibility of corporate merger at St. John's Univer­~ity here of St. Benedict's College, St. Joseph, Minn., by 1971 has been announced by the chairmen of the institutions' boards of trustees. . Abbot Baldwin Dworschak, O.S.B., of St. John's and Mother Henrit.a Osendorfl O.S.B., an-' nounced plans to work toward full integration of the two schools' academic resources. They have had an academic ex­change program since 1963, and are linked by hourly shuttle bus service during academic terms.

The two boards met in July and approved a declaration fa­voring possible merger within 30 months. A coordinator will be appointed to direct efforts of the two Benedictine schools in work­ing out details of administrative and curricular integration.

Retain Traditions The move followed a nine­

month study, financed by a foundation grant from the Louis W. and Maud Hill Family of St. Paul, of the possibilities for closer· cooperation between the two schools.

This Fall, St. John's and St. Benedict's will have a combined enrollment of 2,150 undergrad­uate students.

Father Colman Barry ,O.S.B.. S1. John's president, said "we expect to gain the advantages of co-education and expanded in­structional capabilities, while re­taining the individual character and traditions of both St. John'l) and S1. Benedict's campuses."

By Rt. Rev. MSgr. John S. Kennedy

In one way, R. G. Tugwell's The Bl"ainsTrust (Viking, qj25 Madison' Ave., New York, N.Y. 10022, $10) is e~tremely dated. I~t deals with events of 36 years ago, the first pres­idential campaign and election of F-ranklin D. Roosevelt. '--~

' . , Roosevelt was afmiitg. at 1ile Democratic nomination for the presidency. Hoover WaG- ceriain flo be renominated by the Be­,publicans. Too Depression, which <came after the stock market erash of 1929, was getting worse afHi·worse. - .

Advocates Rewalatloli '

Unemployment was mountinl. there was economic brelllk-down. industry was stagnant, farms were being foreclosed, want and Guffering were proliferating, and fear was rampant. The Demo­crJrats' chances looked increasing­ly good. . Tugwell had very definite ideas about what had gone wrong and what must be done in or­der to set the economy right. He believed that technology had transformed the situation, and that old attitudes and means which did not ·take cognizance of this crucial fact would produce ~nly more failure and misery.'

He advocated a measure 0( eolleotivization, not in the Com­munist sense, but in the sense of coordination, central planning, tlnd some control by government. Only regUlation, he held, would make for a balance of interests and 'a· ~listic 'distribution &f

- purchasing power' which 'Would keep production going and ,guar­antee jobs.

ED&TossID« PoriraFlJoI

These ideas be presented to Roosevelt. He tells \Ill f.ttat he

recovery for whloh the oountry was clamoring.

Roosevelt would listen. intent­ly to what a theoretician like Tugwell said, genera]ly in even­ing sessions at too ~vemo.r's mansion in Albany: He 'Would enter keenly into debate o,n an­alYses and proposals.

He ,wall quick to grasp novel concepts .and would speak intel­ligently of them. This :r;esponse led Tugwell to 'suppose tha-~ Roo­sevelt was agreeing with what was suggested and would espouse it. .

But again and again, 'Tugwell was disappointed. In speech'es prior and subsequent to his nom­ination, Roosevelt might make brief and glancing reference to some aspect of. Tugwell's ideas; In May, for example, at Ogle­thorPe Universi'tY,,:he used the words "planning" and "experi­mentation." But this did not si.gnal forthright adoption &f Tugwell's propositions.,

The reason was simple. Roose­velt wanted to be nominalJed and elected. He needed the sup­port of conservative elements in his own party He needed .tt!e votes Of Republicans, still with a majority in registrations. And so he had to present himself as knowledgeable, a decisive afHi c~pable executive, and DO wild 1'adical.

Lacked Statesmaaship More than once he told· Tug­

well that it was the adviSer's role to come up with ideas, but the candidate's role ~ decide 'lvhat was acceptable. And what was acceptable, Tugwell laments, was generally what was ~lculated. to win votes. He does not hesita.te to say that in the 1932 campa~ga

Roosevelt displayed a mastery of politics but a lack of statesman­ship.

Yet Tugwell. perceived that Roosevelt did indeed intend to experiment, once be waS in power. He could not say this in the campaign ,but even before the election he was pondering steps which would' be anything but conventional and conserva­tive.

This, one supposes, Ia the per­ennial problem of the candi<i(.ate for office. He feels 00 must speak and aot in a way which does not truly 01' fully convey his oon­victions, for, were he to be can­did, be could not reach the place Wlhere he would be able to, do !for his constituency what he is pro­

C%echReforms Affect Rei i910n

VIENNA (NC)-The' spirit of reform pervading Czechoslova­kia, which brought about the recent confrontation between Czechoslovak leaders and the leaders of the Soviet Union, has also affected religious life, in the country. , For mor~ ..than 20 y,ears pr:ior

to i968, communists in Czecho:'. slovakia imposed severe restric­tions on the practice of religion• Bishops and priests were impris­oned, executed or exiled; many &f the faithful were imprisoned; Catholic schools were forced out of existence; rela·tions with- the Vatican were ended; ,no recogni­tion was given to the Church in tl,e state constitution; attempts were made to convert the Church into an instrument of the Communi~ party.

However. since Alexander Dpbcek came to power in Janu­ary' as first secretary of Czecho­slovakia's Communist party, there have been significant im­provements in Church-state re­11ltions in the country.

The new regime has allowed several bishops to return to their Sees 15 years or more after they were ousted by the Stalinists. The first to be reinstated was Bishop Karel Skoup, 81, of Brno. barred from office in 1953 after refusing to take an oath re­quired 'by the country's anti ­Church .laws of,1951.

Bishop Stephan Trochta, S.D.B., 63, of Litomerice, was officially reinstated in his See this month.

promised two chickens in every pot; he did say something about two ears in every garage. And Garner's inelegant charaoteriza­tion of the vice presidency was not phrased as Tugwell quotesit.' . ,

Much is being made &f a novel of tlie Roosevelt era, Red· Sky at Morning, by Richard Bradford

Are j~;ss;onar;es Obsolete? What exactly it; the role of the ChristiGomissionary? He'­

evaluation of the whole idea of mission has left many CatholiCs in a, quandry cQncerningthe missionary's plGce in ~he" Chul'cb today. Sinc,~ Vatioan II has ;emphasized the filct, that ..salvat~~n can be gained even by those who are not external behevers 10

Christ is there a need for missionaries .totravelthrougholit the world' spreading the ,"Good News" ~f salvation?" :',:'

The role of the .missionary today can be seen in this way~ ,Christ Is pl'esent among all peoples. He is there among the'tribes in the detmest jungles of Africa; He is there in the mount3ias of .AustraU,,; He is there in the deserts of India. He is presep~ even though the inhabitants' have Dever heard of Him. For that is the real fueaning of the Incarnation, that Christ became ~an

to redeem ALL men once and for all. Missionaries, therefore. do not BRING Christ to these people; rather. they WITNESS to the fact He is there l}lready. For it .Js the Church's obligation to be ,a sign-a slgll~l. as, i~ were-to the world, tellill~ it._ that Christ. is allive, that Be Is PreseDt among ~ 1hatBe is walt.. ing to be reeogllilled. ,

By thei.r very being~' then Christian missionaries' are -~­~rming a' SE!rvice tbat no other people can perform. If, for some reason; missionaries could discharge no other function thall simply being with their people, this alone would be reason for their existence. For they L:ve openly labeled themselves as followers 01. Cbrist, and as such, they ~l'e manifesting to aR' the world the meaning ancil beauty of the Christian life.

eeptance of the gospel message. But how does all this concern us? How is the avel'3ge Chris­

tian-who will never even see a mission field-aff~ted by this new awareness" of the ~issionary's place in the Church today? '!'he answer -iI simply this: as the missionary's obligation to bear witness to the presence of Chl"ist increll$eS, so, too, does our own. The Council Fathers have admonished that "wherever they live, all Christians are bound to show forth, by the ex'ample of their lives and by ·the witness of their speech" that they are believers in Christ. Each one of us, then, has the ,obligation to be a sign Olf Christ's presence intpe world. All of us, of course, cannot ean­'NBS ·the world spreading the "Good News" of salvation; but .we can join hl ,prayer and sacrifice with those wbo do. The best .means's to support these mission efforts is the ,J;ociety for the Propagation -of the Faith, the Church's official missionary organ­~tion. 'Through the Society, :missionaries all over the world are aided in their efforts to build the Kingdom of God upon earth.

15 Cardinal Asserts Law, Love Have Single Object

PHILADELPHIA (NC) ­Despite those who say law and love a're disparate con­eepts, in reality they are not only compatible "but comple­mentary, John Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia declared here.

"Both have the single ultimate object of promoting good," he said. "Love induces us to do good to those whom we love. Law seeks to promote the good of individuals and of the com­munity-the common good."

Cardinal Krol delivered the homily at the Red Mass held at 58. Peter and Paul Cathedral during the convention of the American Bar Association (ABA). Judges and lawyers at ­tending the Mass included U. S. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan and Bernard G. Segal, president-elect of the ABA.

In his homily, Cardinal Krol said history bears witness that when law is not an instrument of rational love, it serves as an instrument of whimsy and in­justice. He said the decisions of the Supreme Court contain many examples of laws which were not reasonable and which did not safeguard the rights of all citizens.

" ,,·,"'Lawyers' Responsibility , "In our,own state, the right of

a child who desires a reli ­giously-oriented education to III

share of the public funds for that part of his education which, , is secular and serves a public, purpose has only recently been acknowledged," Cardinal Krol stated.

The cardinal said the respon.,. sibility of lawyers to eliminate inequities in the legal system is all the more urgent because of the "strident articulate minority which invokes the inequities as an excuse not to reform and re­new but as an excuse to reject all law and nuthority."

"Change is the rule of life but not all change is progress," Car­dinal Krol noted. "Even revolu­'tionary chnnge can be justified," he continued. "But violence, rioting and anarchy are not a normill or necessary ingredient of change."

SAN JUAN (NC)-Lay men and women, representing three of the four Puerto Rican Sees have asked for a "real and rep­resentative" role in all decisions which affect the laity.

Sixty-two lay people of the San Juan archdiocese and the dioceses of Arecibo and Ponce forwarded the petition to the hierarchy after participating in ca three-day course of pastoral theology at the diocesan center of Arecibo.

The laity petition asked the bishops to authorize a program to prepare lay men and women to take over their responsibility in participating in liturgical affairs.

They asked the laity to com­mit themselves to establishment of lay councils, both a,t the paro­chial and diocesan levels, to co­operate w.ith the bishops and priests in a spirit of mutual re­spect and dialogue. The petition asked the bishops for more au­thoritative, pastoral councils.

Under the terms of the grant, the Ford Foundation awards the university one dollar for each three dollars received from non­governmental sources. Total goal of. the 150th anniversary leadership program, which will continue beyond the challenge grant campaign, is $35 million.

The Ford Foundation grants were made to a small number of universities on the basis of "their commitment to superior scholarship, their plans and abil ­ity to make pace-setting im­);iTovements, the quality of their leadership, and strength of sup­port from alumni and other sources."

Financial Burden Demands Detroit School Closings

DETROIT (NC) - 1,230 young-sters in nine Catholic schools in the Detroit Arch­«liocese have been notified their classes will be closed in September. O!lly about half are expected to find space in other Catholic schools.

"The basic trouble is finan­~ial," said Father John B. Zwers, superintendent of Cath­olic schools, "although personnel and facilities are factors in some instances..We strain every pos­sible resource to keep schools going but sometimes something has to give."

Six schools closed either par­tjally or completely are in the inner city and three are in out­lying areas.

The number of pupils in the Catholic schools in the Detroit Archdiocese has decl'eased by more than 16,000 in the past three yeal's.

J<'iscal Burden Shifts "Every school system I know

about is caught' in a financial bind and ours is no exception to the general Tule," Father Zwers said, noting Catholic schools do not get the help tax-supported schools do, but that "we can count only on the sacl'ifices of parents already hard-strapped to meet inflational'y costs. There is a limit to what you can ask

of someone already heavily taxed to support public schools,

"I would like to make one point clear," the archdiocesan school head continued, "Closing a school for financial reasons is 'Ilways a last resort after every possible way to keep it in oper­ation has been explored, Neither we nOl' the pal'~nts of thc ch.il­fll'en want any school to close that can possibly be kept open.­

,It is estimated that the State of Michigan spends $610 a year on each child in public schools. The more than 600 students fl'om Catholic schools to be added to the tax rolls will bring an additional tax bill of over II third of a million dollars.

Only ibeHest The Detroit al'chdiocesan

school system is the second largest in Michigan, counting both public and private school groups. Over 140,000 are en­rolled in 260 elementary schools and over 42,000 are in 96 high schools. The teaching services of over 3,429 priests and Reli ­Mious contribute .to kf;eping per pupil costs well below· the aver­age for public schools.

"In some instances: it might have been possible ~q hang on a little longer by sevc~'ely dilut­ing the quality of the1 education offered," Father Zwe;'s stated.

"This is a compromise we re­fuse to make. If we c'lnnot offer qualil.y education we will not oUel' any. Natul'alIy It pains us to disappoint inner city parents who .....ant moral train~ng·as well as go·od academic preparation for their childl'en, but we must do what is necessary."
