Dr. Kent S. Knutson of Minne­apolis, president of the AmericanLutheran Church, asserted that"there seems to be a concertedeffort in the public press to dis­credit the World Council ofChurches."· l;Ie cited the Digestarticle as '.'a case i~ point." .

Much of this information isslanted and unperceptive ofChristian work, he said. "Someis motivated by political 'consid­erations, even, planted in theAmerican press by those withno interest in or real knowledgeof Christianity, in order to les­sen the influence of the Christianfaith. Some of it is simply misin­formation and some of it honestdisagreement as to the function 'and responsibility of the church."

Stressing that the WCC "isneither communistic, ultra-liberal(whatever that means), atheistic,or irresponsible,'" Dr. Knutsondeclared that "those. who saythese things either do so out ofplain misinformation or deliber­ately to attack the church inorder to hurt it."

Deny World Counci'l of ChurchesBacks Communist Revolutionaries

NEW' YORK (NC) ~ Leadersof the two U. S. Lutheranchurches that belong to theWorld Council of Churches havedenied charges in ~n OctoberReaders' Digest article thatthe WCC supports communist­backed revolutionary terrorists.

A heading· over the article"Must Our Churches FinanceRevolution?V by Clarence W.Hall, a former editor of theChristian Herald. said that theWCC "is using church powerand church funds to back insur­rection in the United States andAfrica." It added: "Is this whatChrist taught?"

Dr. Robert J. Marshall of NewYork, president of the LutheranChurch in America and a mem­ber of the W:CC's executive andcentral committees, denied thatthe WCC's member churches arefinancing revolution through itsprogram to combat racism.

Diocese to SurveyOffices, Property

GREEN BAY (NC) - BishopAloysius J. Wycislo of GreenBay has announced· that a Chi­cago firm has been hired to doa, survey of all diocesan officesand property, to find out howthe diocese can reorganize moreefficiently. The. diocese ha~ nothad such a long-range plan. inthe past.

Bishop Wycislo said eventual;Iy a central diocesan office build­ing would be needed, althoughone could not be built now be­cause of the cost.

"The Catholic Charities offices,tribunal and community servicesoffices are in one building, edu­cation office in another and thechancery in a,nother. All of thiscauses unnecessary duplication'and running back and forth," heexplained. The long-range planresulting from the survey wouldgive a clear indication of how tomove. and when, he added.

The bishop said recent inqui­ries by real estate developers,who want to buy diocesan prop­erty around the chancery office,were a factor in hiring the. Chi­cago firm to do the,survey.

Humnnitarian Purposes

"That program is financing ed­ucational and welfare projectsfor persons living under the con­trol of revolutionaries," he said."If the churches did not assistsuch persons, then the churcheswould be guilty of political moti­vations because ·they would re­strict their work to persons un­der some governments and ne­'glect the persons under" other

. jurisdictions." ,

While the' Lutheran Church ofAmerica has not contributed tothe program, Dr. Marshill saidhe haq voted for the grants of$200,000 . in September, 1970,and last September to 19 organ­izations.of· either oppressed ra­cial groups or those supportingvictims of ~acial injustice·: insouthern African and elsewhere:Several of the grants went toblack liberation· movements in­volved in guerilla activities.

I would have to admit thatduring the first feV'{~ days of theS'ynod I· had the uneasy feelingthat many of the delegates didn'tfully realize the extent and these~iousness of the so-calledcrisis. in the ministerial priest­hood ami were not' prepared todiscus,!; . it with complete frank­ness.

I am no longer under this im­pression: The debate on all of thecrucial issues involved in thecrisis referred to above has beencompletely frank .and open.While the delegates, as might beexpected, are. seriously dividedon some of these matters, theyseem perfectly willing an.d,. anx­ious to hear both sides of everymajor question.

While I can and do sympathizewith the reporters in this regard,I don't happen to· agree withthem as far as the Synod is con­cerned. To the contrary, I thinkit would be most unfortunate ifthe' Synod were to try to rushthrough its business sim,ly inthe interest of saving time or inthe interest of obliging themedia.

Any international assembly ofthis type, whether its businessbe of a religious or secular na.­ture, has ·to go through a kindof warming-up period before itcan meaningfully address itself

.. to specific problems. It 'has todevelop its' own dynamics andits own particular style, so tospeak, and, like it or not, thistakes a ~ertain amount of time.

Time Well Spent·

In the .case of the Synod, th'iswarming·up period lasted ap­proximately a week. It was timewell spent. 1 might add, in thisconnection, that, to my way ofthinking, the Synod delegatesought to take as mU,ch time asthey. need to complete theiragenda and shouldn't be lookingover their shoulder at the cal­endar.

As of this writing, it is gen­erally assumed that they will beable to complete their work be- ,fore th,~ end of October, but ifthis proves to be impossible, Ihope they" will find a way tostay in session as long as neces"sary, or, failing that, I hope thatthe Holy Father will autorizethem to take a: recess and returnto Rome' for a second session,

\ possibly in the Spring of 1972.

"Accordingly, we wish to giveby this declaration, our uneqliiv­ocal moral support to thosewhose interest is for the bestand most innovative rehabilita­tion procedures that are de­manded at this time both in ourstate and loc~1 prison' colonies.

the author's own <;oinage to de­scribe the shattering and smash­'ingstress that the world is in­ducing into the lives of individ­uals who are subject to too muchchange in ~oo short a time. Inclear concise and compactwords, Toffler tries to tell thereader where he and the world"is at". From family to church,from office to home, from hip­pies to' children he stimulates,frightens and encourages every.one who reads this work.

So often works of this typeare relegated to the limitedworld of the social scientist whoin many case:§ has already re­moved himself from the, realworld of the daily grind andchalleng~. So fast has' changeaffected this world that it hassplintered into the expertise ofa few, that many feel completelyleft out in a vast nowhere ofh'opelessness and personal doubt.

Mr. Toffler gives this mananother chance to face realityand attempt to pick up the piecesof a life worth living, not just'for today, but more important,for tomorrow.

In a society that is desperatelyseeking leadership and direction-be it in politics, eco,nomics orreligion, "Future Shock" can not

The, Boston Herald Traveler has come to a decision­if, will no longer accept adve'rtising for X-rated inovie~.

"It is our judgement that the vast majority of films rated'X' by the Motion Picture Association of! America arepurely voyeuristic, sex-ploitation movies wQich panqer toevery con,ceivable perversion." ,

To the cry of censorship" the newspaper points outtilat it is not stopping th~ showing of the films and 'thatit has always supported a policy of self-descipline. Indeed," ... it is 'lack of self-restraint that creates the greatestdanger of government intervention."

To the allegation that such films portray, ~'realism"and "relevance" the paper answers that "thiS is second~

rate iconoclasm, at best, which breaks down nothing butthe doors of boudoirs and bathrooms." .

The newspaper states that its decision, is ba~ed onthe .conviction that the vast majority' of X-rated filmsare garbag~ and socially undesirable, "merely vulgar fod-,der for voyeuristic appetites."

It has been hinted to the newspaper that its courseof action might result -in other advertisement,s being with­drawn. And to this the newspaper answers, ill the' highestand finest tradition ot' responsibility of the press, ," . . .we have reached our decision in this matter only afterbecoming' convinced that we could not in cpnscience dootherwise than we have done. Acts Of conscience canprove costly. If such is the ,case here, we will have to'pay the price."

Here is an example of responsibility and public service,and awareness of the demands of conscience that is' ama~ificent lesson to us' all.

'Ilifl oj the ,Spirit. It is not so long ago that people went, aroun,d pass­

, ing out bumper stickers with such slogans as Peace andLove. Now' it seems that these sentiments will have tobe replaced by a more' basic, plea for Safety.

Why is it the ne\vs of a World Series .victory wasreceived in Pitt~burgh with rioting,with looting of ',stores,with attacks on innocent, downtown strollers?"What kind,of madness is' this? Barbarism is not too strong a des-cription for such an outhurst.

Can it be that the line between reasonableness andsavag~ry is so uncertain that it can be crosseq at the in­stignation'of what should be a happy event?

, When prisoners at Attica went into revolt, peopletried to find explanations in s~ying that th'ese were prov­edly desperate men and their r~actions in les~ than idealsurroundings' should not be viewed with surprise~ (AI-

. though why the chapel and library were the first build­ings to be destroyed would make an essay in itself.)

But what explanation for the breakdown in safety in, one of the large cities of the nation?

And the pattern can be seen again and again in somany of the communities of the land. A chaplain fromthis Diocese qf Fall River mentioned that he was'lookingforWard to going back to Saigon' because he knew hewould be safer there than in many of, the cities of theUnited States. '

What is the answe'r? FreedoIJ1 that has degeneratedinto license? Permissiveness that has '"been distorted intodestruction of the rights of ot!lers? Lack of respect thathas turned into violation of the person of others?

All these are ills of the spirit. And it will need theanswers given and the strength provided by religion tocure them.

"the continuingviolation of human and nationalrights of the Ukrainian peopleby the Soviet govern~ent."

Bishops ProtestSoviet TreatmentOf Ukrainians

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - FiveUkrainian-rite Catholic bishopshave appealed to "believers infreedom and world justice" toprotest "the cruel persecution offive million Ukrainian Catholics"by the Soviet government.

They mentioned Ukrainian­rite Archbishop 'Vasyl Welych­kovsky, reportedly arrested bySoviet secret police in January1969 and re-sentenced last Julyto a prison in Donbas. He wascharged with secretly consecrat­ing a bishop and with minister­ing to Catholics.

"The arrest of ArchbishopWelychkovsky" the appeal said,"provides undeniable proof thatCatholicism in the Ukraine isalive despite the attempt to ef­fect complete destruction of thestructure of the Ukrainian Cath­olic Church in 1945-46 by theSoviet government."

The appeal also noted that theSoviet Union "annihilated" thestructure of the Ukrainian Auto­cephalous Orthodox Church inthe 1930s and cited the persecu­tion of other Christians and Jewsand of Ukrainian intellectuals.

"I join wholeheartedly in 'theappeal of your Holiness and sup­port it. ]his ,undertaking willgive new drive, it is hoped, tothe international "humanitariimeffort." ,

The -bishops of Italy sent$30,000 to the Pope as their firstcontribution to help the refugees.

Refugee Buddhists campedoutside a newspaper office hereprotesting publication of a re­port that the Dalai Lama willmarry ,an American girl. Thestory, which was relayed by thepaper's correspondent in Kath­mandu, capital of neighboringNepal, was branded, totallyfalse" by the protesting Bud­dhists.

The Dalai Lama, 36, is thetjtular head of world Buddhism,and was the theocratic ruler ofTIbet until Communist Chinaoverran the country. In 1959the Dalai Lama made a dramaticescape across the Indian borderwith it small entourage. Sincethen 85,000 Tibetans have fol­lowed their leader into exile.

I mean on what itREALLY needs. So, hang on,I'm about to fill that print'gap. What this ChurchREALLY needs is a WomanPope. It goes without saying thatthis would require female cardi­nals.

.Jml'Th·:K%f:®Til~~lt(m~'L,~ lAside' from the fact th~t things

can hardly get worse with lady'priests, there are considerableadvantages to utilizing the' fem­inine touch outside of the bakesale.

Let's ponder for a momenthow the renewal that is tearingus apart could have been carriedoff less painfully had we beenblessed with a percentage of fe­male bishops, cardinals andpriests instead of total male ob­structionism.

What facets of change havecaused the most anguish? Notthe great theological dilemmasbut little surface changes: fromhats to hair; from fish to meat;from Latin to English; from habitto hemline; from silence to song.Each has been treated by themale viewpoint from pulpit andpress. Each has created a greatdeal of unnecessary pain.

Renewal MindedOur proqjem is we fought our

battle in reverse. If we had ac­complished a Woman in EveryRectory before we inauguratedthe other changes, we wouldn'thave experienced such difficulty.Women are renewal minded.Men are habit minded. Men don'tlike to move their chairs, muchless their altars. They don't likea new shirt, much less newhabits. They don't want to trya new recipe if there's alreadyone good old one. Likewise withliturgy.

Women relish change. Men en­dure it. So, to whom did we givethe job of creating change inthe Church? Men, of course. Andwho appointed the men? Men, ofcourse. Figures.

Okay, let's consider a few ofthe changes and how they mighthave been handled differently ifBishop Anne ,or Father Ceciliahad been at the helm.

Take the rotating altar. Nowoman would have arranged thealtar the old way or changed itto the new way, everythingstanding in the same place inevery church regardless of itsconvenience, design or visibility.The male thinks it's fine becausehe can see it from where he'sstanding (on the altar). \

Pop~ $tress'es.Basic Teaching:'Of Church

VAT!CAN CITY (NC) - TheCatholic Church is "tenaciouslyconservative" in keeping' the es­sentials of the faith, -Pope PaulVI said at his first weekly gener­al audience ,after the 1971 Synodof Bishops started debate onpriestly problems including celi­bacy.

The Pope began his talk withmention of the synod, thenmoved on to the subject of theChurch's basic teachings. He didnot get involved in the issue of

,celibacy, which is mandatory forpriests as a 'Church iaw and notas an article offaith.

"Can we suppose," the 'Popeasked, "that the hierarchy is freeto teach what it pleases in reli­gious matters, or what pleasescertain doctrinal,. or rattier anti­doctrinal, trends of modern opin­ion??' ,

His answer was a firm "no,"instead he insisted: "We

must remember that the episco­pate has a primary-'duty, theduty of giving witness, the dutyof strict and faithful transmis­sioh of Christ's original message-that is, _qf all the truths re­'vealed by Him and entrusted tothe apostles for our salvation.."

The Pope said the bishops ofthe Church' are' charged, to"guard the" truth" and "theymust feel that the last words ofJesus were 'said especially tothem: 'Go, therefore and makedisciples of all natio,ns ...teach­ing them to observe all that Ihave commanded you.' "

Twofold Responsibility ""The creed remains," the Pope

declared. "In this' ,aspect the'Church is 'tenaciousiy conserva~

tive and therefore does nO,t growold ... Faith ,must be applied tolife, to 'our living experiencewhich is, , today 'extremelychanget;lble.i'. :, For that reason, he explained,"the needs 'of the tiines are newand complex and ,therefore pas~

-toral leadership of the, Church. 'must remain unceasingly Vigilantand must, be attentive' to thetwofpld' responsibility of main­

/tainlng intact the treasure of.divine truths and traditions ...and at the same time to drawthis ever living and workingtreasl!re Closer to the Iife,of thegenerations of men in,a languageand in forms which make it moreacceptable and fruitful."

The Pope concluded by saying:"This' perpetual effort of doctri­nal faithfulness and of pastoralunderstanding is the spiritualdrama of those who in theChurch have the mandate and re­sponsibility of gUiding (men)toward' common salvation. Prayfor them."

Black CatholicsCharg~ ChurchIs ,/Dishonestl

NEW YORK (NC)-Chargingthat the American' Church isracist and treats black Catholicsas "bastard children," six blackCatholic leaders announced planshere to go to Rome and presenttheir grievances directly to PopePaul VI.

The group denounced theAmerican Church as "dishonestand racist," during a news con­ference.

The delegation planned' to askthe Pope to name a Negro arch­bishop for Washington, D. C. andto "explore the establishment ofa black Catholic rite." Wash­ington's population is mostlyblack. '

They said they were going tothe Vatican because "neither thewhite American hierarchy repre­senting white American CaUl­olics, nor the apostolic delegate,seem willing to deal with thesituation nor' present it honestlyto the Holy See. They are stillinsistent on dealing with blackCatholics' as bastard children,and with the black community ina dishonest, racist and superiormanner."

The six black leaders who ap­peared at the news conferenceat Resurrection Church in Har­lem were Father Lawrence Lu­cas, president of the NationalBlack Catholic Clergy Caucusand pastor of the church; Mari­anist Brother Joseph Davis, ex­ecutive secretary of the ,NationalOffice , for ' 'Black, Catholics(NOBC); Paul Hammock of Ph'ii-­adelphia, NOBC board chairman;Sister Martin de Porres Grey of .Pittsburgh, president of, the: N'i.:"tional Black Sisters Conference;Joseph Dulin of, Detroit, presi­dent of the National Black Cath­olk Lay Caucus; and EsteIfeCol­Iins of Baltimore, president ofthe NBCLC Baltimore chapter.

The ,group wouid' not ,confirmor deny that it had an appoint- ,,ment scheduled with the ,Pope, ,but the, members said they w.Q~ld

, tell' the Pontiff about the p~ob- 'lems of black Catholics:,and of.~

the Church il}' the black Com­munity·

"Basically the Church func­tions as another institution ' in

, American society and is basic­ally white and racist," the blackleaders said in a statement. Theycharged that the AmericanChurch "has deserted the priori­ties of' the Gospel and adoptedthose 'of the American majority."

The NBCLC, at a recent na­tional convention, ,proposed thl\.ta separate rite, similar to, theEastern-rite churches, be estab­lished for blacks in the UnitedStates-who number about twoper 'cent of the nation's 47 mil­lion Catholics.

Continued from Page OneHe affirmed that "all respon­

sible agents have a serious moralobligation to use ordinary meansthat are available" to save anendangered life. '

Carqinal Shl;lhan went on: "Ialso affirm that our society, andnofjust the parents involved, hasan obligation to be willing tocare for the poor and weak who'cannot care for themselves." Hepledged himself to support a re­newal of medical-moral ethics.

PermissivenessThe infant's case history was

brought up Oct. 16 at a sym­posium on modern medicalethics, held in Washngton. AJohns Hopkins official later con­firmed that at least three otherMongoloid infants were simi­larly permitted to die at thathospital in the past five years.

In this latest case, doctors con­sulted legal authorities in Balti­more. They were told that sincethe infant was a Mongoloia, nocourt would make it a ward ofthe state, so no operation couldbe ordered.

"Society seems awf.ully unwill­ing to help us out of a jam," thehospital's chief pediatrician said.

Cardinal O'BoyleCardinal O'Boyle, in a talk to

an archdiocesan convention ofCatholic Women in Washington,echoed his Baltimore colleague:

"If he (the infant) had beenallowed to live, he might havedeveloped enough to talk, to dosimple tasks, perhaps to read alittle, to know a child's joys andsorrows, and - if someone hadtaught him-even to hear of Godand to learn to love Him."

Cardinal O'Boyle said attend­ing physicsians. should havesought a court order in spite ofthe negative advice they re­ceived. -He pointed out that theinfant took 15 days to die, and inthat time "a great deal of legalaction can be carried through."

InfanticideThe.. cardinal. c;lrried his point

further:"I think we are faced here with

the beginning of an extension tochildren already born of the mur­derous practice~ of abortion,which increasingly disposes ofunwanted babies before birth. . .Infanticide will be proposed firstfor hard cases, but eventuallyany case in which parents' donot want the baby will be ac­.cepted as hard enough ...

"Tomorrow we may find our­selves living in a world in whichwe will be fortunate if we man­age to die without the mercy ofthose who will scruple not tokill, but who will prudentlyavoid doing anything illegal thatmight keep us alive."

FearfUl that an institutionwoul,d take away more of theirchild's freedom than steriliza­tion, the Carsons said they con­sequently have elected to havetheir daughter sterilized.

A Jesuit ethicist, on a paneldiscussing cases similar to theCarsons, said that despite Cath­olic teaching that contraceptionis intrinsically evil, he too wouldelect {or a retarded woman touse contraception or be steril­ized if it is impossible to shieldthe woman against sexual rela­tionships or "when other formsof protection will not succeed orwould be oppressively inhuman."

Announces NewMarriage RulesF'or Minors

ROCHESTER (NC) - Youngcouples planning a Catholic mar­riage must be extensively inter­viewed, under new rules issuedto parish priests by Bishop Jo­seph 1. Hogan of Rochester.

The rules apply to couples inwhich the male is under 21 andthe female is under 18. In suchcases, the state of New York

. requires written permission fromprospective spouses' parents orguardians.

In an effort to deal with whatthe bishop called a rising "teen­age marriage problem," he in­structed priests to make deliber­ate investigations into the matu­rity of the couple.

Bishop Hogan outlined sixsteps each priest must now fulfillin dealing with the marriage ofminors.

According to the Rochesterdiocesan newspaper, the Courier­Journal, the new regulations are:

The priest must interview theyoung man and young womanindividually using a question­naire designed to inquire as tothe couple's awareness of the re­sponsibilities of marriage and to .let them express their judgment

,of their fitness for marriage.He then must interview the

parents whom civil law requiresto give permission for the mar­riage of their children.

The priest must refer either orboth parties to the diocesanCatholic family center for helpfrom a psychiatrist, psychologistor social worker, if he believesit necessary for "any notablecharacter deficiency."

~~'rOusi then arrange for thecouple t6 have intensive privateOr semi-private pre-marriage in­structions provided by the dioc­esan' family life office.

The priest .must put into writ-,Jng his personal observations'and judgment r'egarding' thecouple's ability 'to make a lastingmarriage. ' .

Finally, he must file with themarriage tribunal the statementsof the couple, the parents, 'Pre;

, Cana staff members, social work- ,ers and his own., Final approval for the wed9ingmust' come from the bishopthrough the tribunal after study­ing the full documentation on thecase.

Bishop Hogan, in a receritCourier-Journal editorial saidthat "a hell on earth is the inevi­table lot of the immature whoenter into marriage." He de­plored that between one-halfand one-third of all teen-agemarriages end in failure.

Pray'er .Decision'Unenforceable',' .In ~ible,' B~lt '

MILWAUKEE (NC)-SupremeCourt" decisions against prayer inpublic schools are not heeded in.certain parts of the country, ac­cording to a Marquette, Uniyer­sity professor. ' ,

"The Supreme Cqurt rulings, have been unenforceable in the

Bible Belt of North Carolina,Tennessee, Alabama and Geor­gia, the rural Bible Belt of Indi- 'ana and Michigan, and parts ofthe, Southwest," said' Adrian M:'Dupuis, education professor' atthe Jesuit-run university here:

In 1963, the high court heldthat voluntary Bible reading andrecitation of the Lord's Prayerin public schools violated theU. S. Constitution's clause ban­ning the establishment of reli­gion.

B\lt Dupuis said some publicschool teachers in South Caro·lina had been advised to con­tinue both, since a court injunc­tion must be issued in each caseto stop the practices. Mississippiteachers have also been in­structed to continue prayer andBible reading in some cases, heclaimed.

Religion ~s SubjectThe Marquette professor made

his comments after a four-month.study, but they were secondaryto' his main observation: ' ,

"There are no constitutionalproblems with courses on reli­gion in public schools," 'he said."As a result, the subject of reli­gion in public schools has, be·

\ come more important."Dupuis saiq his findings in<)j:

cate public school religioncourses are widespread, in areasof Indiana, Michigan, Massachu­setts, New YorK ~nd Ohio. Inthe north central states, hefound 48 public schools that'teach religion either separatelyor as part of another course-­like sections on world religionsin a world history class.

Teacher PreparationNoting that most of the cla;;ses

are taught at the secondarylevel, he singled' out a highschool in Royal Oak, Mich:, thatoffers courses in primitive reli­gion, ancient national religions,Buddhism,' Hinduism, Far East­ern religions, the Bible, Chris­tianity, Old Testament and NewTestament.

One problem with the growingnumber'of courses being offered,Dupuis sail;l, is adequate teacherprep'!ration. In many cases, his·tory and sociology teachers findthemselves teaching theology, hesaid.

With help from the Marquettetheology department, Dupuisplans to propose to the state de­partment of public instruction aneducation program at Marqtiettefor public school religion teach­ers. If approved, the universitywill develop courses and a re­source center for the program.

Requiring a two-thirds vote inboth houses of Congress, it couldreach the floor of the House asearly as Nov. 8.

Lutherans OpposePrayer Amendment,

WASHINGTON (NC) -'- Theth~ee major U. S. Lutheranchurches reaffirmed here theiropposition to a proposed consti­tutional amendment that wouldpermit prayer in public schools.

The proposed amendment,which seeks to amend the U. S.Bill of Rights for the first timein history, would authorize "non­denominational prayer" to "per­sons lawfully assembled in any,public building."

To:· Present Identity Crisis,memory of the horrendous hel1of the concentrati~n camp isgradually blurring ... Yet thesurvivors of this epoch knowvery well to what' extent the hu­man person is degraded, humili­ated and jeered at.

"It is an incredible thing, butcorroborated by innumerable tes­timonies, that Father Kolbe hadno idea of hatred ... How rareare today those whose brotherlylove does not suffer from racial,national and ideological segrega·tion." , "

VATICAN' CITY (NC)--..,.BlessedMaximilian. Kolbe, the Polishpriest who died serenely'and he­roically amid t'he horror ofAuschwitz, offers one answer tothe identity crisis of many of to­day's priests.

Thus spoke Cardinal KarolWojtyla, archbishop of Krakow,at a press conference in the Vat­ican Press Hall three days beforeFather Kolbe was beatified inSt. Peter's Basilica on Oct. 17.

In 1941, at the age of 47,Father Kolbe volunteered to takethe place of a fellow prisoner inAuschwitz who was sentencedto die. He thus culminated apriestly .life of prayer and devo­tion to Mary, having establishedcommunities in her name inPoland and Japan.

Cardinal W6jtyla, speaking inFrench, declared that the life anddeath of the Polish martyr definethe ,pri,esthoooq as an imitationof Chrjst.

"At a moment when so manypriests throughout the worldquestion themselves regardingtheir 'identity,' Father Maxi­milian Kolbe appears among usto give his answer, not by theo-,logical discourses but by his lifeand death," the cardinal said.

Testimony

"He was content, no more andno less, to be like his master, bygiving testimony of 'the greatestlove,' this evangelical test of be­!onging to Christ.;'1 '

The cardinal also cited thehumanity and love of fellow manthat Father Kolbe possessed tothe Jast:

Stresses FaithFinds New LifeIn Good Works

CHICAGO (NC) - Faith with­out good works is dead, the Na­tional Association of Holy NameSocieties was reminded here byJohn E. Cosgrove, director ofthe social development depart­ment, United States CatholicConference.

"The role of the religious or­ganization, such as the locallevel Holy Name Societies, andhopefully, humanists and othersof good will, must be to inspireby word and example, the nec­essary decisions to become in­volved," Cosgrove said. "This' isthe great!lst task."

He cited the U. S. bishops'Campaign for Human Develop­ment, a massive fund-raising ef­fort to alleviate poverty throughself-help projects; as one way inwhich local societies can leadtheir home parishes' toward in­volvement.

"This advancing brotherhood,this championing of the op­pressed will bear witness to thefaith-the faith that is the needand the hope of our time," Cos­grove said.

People of God"It can help us make America

even better than it is in protect­ing the God-given rights listedin the Declaration of Independ­ence," he told the Holy Nameconvention.

Cosgrove warned societymembers "that one of the great­est temptations we all face isthat of selfishness and intro­verted narrow views of our des­tiny as being exclusively a mat­ter between God and ourselves,without regard to our fellowmen."

Our faith, he explained, "is inthe Father, the Son and the HolySpirit and in God's teachingsthrough His mystical body,which is the Church. The Churchin turn is nor; a building, or apriest, or a bishop, .01' a cardinal'... It is the people of God-allthe people.

Strengthened by Changes"This, I suggest, is the spirit

of Vlrtican II, the spirit of PopeJohn XXIII and Pope Paul VI,the spirit and the faith whichwe need to meet the challengesof today."

It should be strengthened, notweakened, by the changes in theworld today, Cosgrove advised.It should be the kind of faithwhich can stand question by its •followers "openly, with love andwith devotion and with humil­ity."

Tomorrow's gospel, Cosgroveadded, "will have something tosay about the obligation to helpone's brother."

"With all of our problems, wehave reason for our faith; faithin a stronger and freer Americaand, above all," Cosgrove said,"faith in the. mercy of our God."

Why not give that string 'baga try? Not for big shoppingsplurges but for that trip to thefruit market or even tfle grocerystore when you have only a fewitems to buy. While no one couldexpect you to make this item aspopular' here as it is in Europe,at least it's one small effort onyour part.

Buying only returnable con­tainers-again can become anui­sance but then who ever saidthe good life was easy-where'sthat old New England pioneeringspirit? Life has become too easyfor us in many ways and we'repaying dearly for that ease.

In the Kitchen

One scent of Fall is mlssmgfor those who love nostalgia andthat is the pleasant smell ofleaves burning. Now, while pilesof smouldering leaves are asmuch akin to New England aspumpkin pie and Indian corn,their absence these past coupleof years is an indication that werealize our responsibility to pre­serve New England as it is,even if we have to forego someof the trimmings-such as burn­ing leaves. While they smelleddelightful, their smoke hung inthe atmosphere for days andcontributed to over 20 per centof the local air pollution.

Not until I visited Europe andsaw that there most of the mar­keting is carried in string bagsand straw baskets, did I realizethe large amount of waste thatwe bring home with us from ourshopping forays. Reusable bot­tles and an absence of bags andcans certainly helped cut downon the rubbish that we accumu­lated during a five-day stay inan apartment in Lagos.

Watches Anything

Outside of ball games, whichI still enjoy, I find that I turnmore and more infre'quently tothis source of entertainment.Marilyn rarely watches TV(maybe a total of an hour a'month), so the watching at ourhouse is done mostly by thechildren.

Right now, Jason, the young­est of the three, is a disciple ofthe cartoons and a few earlyevening shows. His day would beincomplete without at least anhour's viewing;' which; inciden-'tally, is totally indiscriminate.

He will watch a show on fireprevention, a talk show, a sportsprogram or anything else. Thegirls, however, are beginning toshow less and less interest inthe tube as they get older andhave interests of their own inother areas, which I count ablessing. '

It has been said so often thatit need not be said again, but itis a crime to submit people tothe lackluster pap we are offeredfor entertainment.

By Joseph and Marilyn RoderickThe new television season is upon us and for the life

of me I can't see any difference from the old one. Ican't say I watch a great deal of television, but occasionallyI like to sit down for an evening's viewing. Last week,after a futile search for aTV program'- guide, I be­gan channel hopping at8:30 and gave up at about9:30, not having found a singleshow I wanted to watch.

Now, at one time it was sortof the "in thing" to say that younever watched TV. Invariablythose who made the loudestnoise were the most devotedwatchers. Frankly, I don't thinkthere are many devotees left.

I count it as a rare event nowwhen one'of my friends men­tions a special show that he orshe really enjoyed. Televisionis the topic of very few conver­sations because it has becometoo blatant, too obvious, andtoo much of a bore.

WASHINGTON (NC) - TheUnited States and "all nationsshould increase soon, and sub­stantially, their support" ofUnited Nations relief operationsaiding East Pakistani refugees,the Committee for 'InternationalAffairs of the U. S. Catholic Con­ference said here.

In a statement on "the tragedyin East Pakistan," the committeesaid support for the relief oper­ations should be increased "inview of the unprecedented andimmense dimensions of humansuffering involved in the combi­nation of political and economicfactors with the results of nat­ural disaster."

The statement recalled that"after sustaining the burden of adevastating cyclone and exten­sive flooding, the people of EastPakistan are now faced with theprospect of famine and pro­longed civil strife. Already, mil­lions of refugees have pouredacross the border into India.Tens of thousands have died ofstarvation, disease and the vio­lence and bloodshed whiCh haveresulted from the civil dis­orders."

ROME (NC) - An 80-year-oldAmerican archbishop called onan international congress of re­ligion teachers to take advantageof the worldwide satelIite net­work or be ready to "lose thecontest for men's minds."

Archbishop Robert E. Lucey,former archbishop of San An­tonio, Tex., told the InternationalCatechetical Congress meetinghere that "perhaps we can findsome excuse for our failure inthe past" to spread the Gospel,but "from here on out there isn'tgoing to be any excuse."

An excellent companion read­er to the Pope's encyclical isFr. Louis J. Lebret's book "TheLast Revolution" (New York:Sheed and Ward, 1965. 213 pp.,$4.50 cloth). His treatment of theconditions afflicting the peopleof the Third World is thoroughlydocumented, yet highly readable.

For an ethnocentric citizen ofthe First World, Lebret's descrip­tion of the state of the globe isas challenging and discomfortingas the Holy Father's. The Popechallenges the First World'sChristianity; Lebret does thisalso, but, in addition, he testsAmerican Christians' chauvinism.

Immature Preoccupation

Lebret's thesis is that the FirstWorld, dominated by the United.States, continues to live off thespiritual legacy of Christianity.However it has failed to riseabove the level of narrow self­interest in its dealings with theThird World. His analysis issharply criticaJ of America's im­mature preoccupation with mate­rial success where. "money has

. become the yardstick of everything," where the "mater~al suc­cess of the individual (is) thehighest pinnacle of achievement."

. Lebret's philosophy, however,like the Third World itself, is notaligned with Western capitalismor Soviet-style socialism. ForLebret, the destiny of the globeis intimately interwoven with therenewal of the Christian Church,and, especially, with the matur­ing of American Christians.

Chief among the Pope's tar­gets is the emphasis on privateproperty as an absolute right,and he highlights on a globalscale "conflict between acquiredprivate rights and primary com­munity needs."

He unequivocally condemns"the international imperialism ofmoney which considers profit asthe key motive for economicprogress, competition as the su­preme law of economics, andprivate ownership of the meansof production .as an absoluteright." Also receiving his sharpcriticism is so-called "free" trade"as no longer being able to gov­ern international relations. (An)economy of exchange can nolonger be based solely' on thelaw of free competition."

Worldwide Planning

The Holy Father's appeal isnot for acts of charity. Rather,citing situations where "wholepopulations destitute of necessi­ties live in a state of dependencebarring them from all initiativ'eand responsibility," he calls forplanning on a worldwide basis­a global strategy for develop­ment. The present situation isone which the Holy Father says"must be fought against andovercome," one which "demandsbold transformations, innova­tions that go deep."

The document expresses pointsof view that are definitely ThirdWorld, in their orientation, andtherefore unfamiliar, even unac­cepta.ble, to many First Worlders.Perhaps indicative of the extentto which the teachings of theChurch have been accommodatedto the First World system is theresponse of some leading Amer­ican businessmen to the encycli-

,First of 'all, "magisterium" is stechnical theological term andrefers to the Pope and to theentire c'ollege of bishops in com­munion with the Pope. This isnot to deny that there are otherteachers in the church, but sim­ply to asSert' that "magisterium"refers to the "official" teachingbody. In other words" it is themagisterium which sets downand demarcates official Catholicteaching.

Secondly, this teaching func­tion. can be exercised in varyingways, both extraordinary andordinary. This distinction is very'important, since failiJre to graspit· can cause great confusionabout the binding force and pos­sible changes in official Catholicteaching. The extraordinarymagisterium of the Pope is foundin solemn "ex cathedra" state­ments in which he defines as ofdivine faith a matter of faith Ofmorals for the universal church.Such definitions are very rareand' are held to be "infallible."

Of much greater frequency isthe Pope's exercise of his ordi­nary magisterium. This .is hisday-to-day teaching function andincludes such statements aspapal encyclicals and allocutions.These are held to be "non­infallible. "

Then we need to look serious­ly, questioningly, at the Scrip­tures and Christian tradition todiscover light to bring to thecontempprary situation. In a

Shures Ministry

That is what Jesus did in Hisday, and what the Apostles didafter Him. Down through theages this has, been the task ofthe Christian community: "TheChurch has 'always had the dutyof scrutinizing the signs of the,times and of interpreting themin the Vght of the gospel"(Church in World. 4).

It is clear then that theChurch's teaching role is not ful­filled merely by restating doc­trines or reaffirming the com­mandments. It is also clear thatthe Church's teaching role cannot be the preserve only of thehierarchy. Because each Catholichas a unique vantage of experi­ence and insight, he has a partto play in the teaching role ofthe Church.

Catholic Schools'Get Increased Aid

SYDNEY (NC) - The NewSouth Wales state governmentincreased its aid to privateschools in the 1971-72 budget byabout $3 million.

State Premier Robin W. Askinsaid that inflation has causeddifficult problems for the state'sindependent school system anda substantial increase in govern­ment assistance is clearly war­ranted,"

A spokesman for the CatholicSchools' Committee of NewSouth Wales said his group isgrateful for the increases in percapita grants for students butadded that the committee feelsthat the proportion of publicfunds given private. schools isstill inequitable and inadequate.

The spokesman said ,the in­creased aid "makes us a littlemore confident in maintainingthe, Catholic school system ...However, our position is stillgravely insecure ... Indeed wemust still face the possibility ofclosures because of inadequategovernment subsid'ies and conse­quent deficits,"

A'fi to his present stfltus, he,writes, "With the approach ofdeath I care less and less aboutreligious truth. One hasn't longto wait for revelation or dark­ness."

Relation of DreamsHe was married. His third

novel was accepted for publica­tion and had a larger sale thana first published novel generallydoes. This led him to believe thathe could support himself and hiswife as a professional writer. Butseveral novels which followedwere commercial failures, as wellas, in his judgment today, poorstuff. At this point, the bookconcludes.

Mr. Greene's fiction' hasmany distinguishing characteris­tics. One of these is the relationof dreams. Dreams have been iin­portant in his life. At differentperiods he has kept a diary ofthem, and both novels and shortstories have had their genesis indreams.

Does everyday experiencefurnish the material for fiction?Yes, he says, but only indirectly.It cannot be transferred straightto the page. It must be forgotten,then re-emerge indeliberaWly andunpredictably. ,

Parallel ThemesThere is a parallel between

the themes in Mr. Greene's lifeand the themes in· his fiction.For example, any reader of hisbooks knows that failure figuresin story after story. This, he as­serts, is because he himself hasbeen intimately and repeatedlyacquainted with failure.

The writing is concise, direct,and surgically precise. Mr. Greenespeaks of the "splinter of ice" inthe heart of the kind of novelisthe has aspired to be, and has suc­ceeded . in being. This appliesnot merely to his approach to,the human condition; but also tothe style of his comment on it.

He attaches capital importanceto reading in shaping his life andcareer. "The influence of earlybooks is profound," he says."So much of the future' lies onthe shelves: early reading has

WASHINGTON (NC) - Car­dinal John Dearden, head of theNational Conference of CatholicBishops, has asked that each di­ocese set as its 1971 Human De­velopment Campaign goal thehighest amount it has ever pick­ed up in any previous nationalcollection of any kind.

Established last year by theU.S. bishops, the Human Devel­opment campaign is designed to',aid self-help groups fight theroot causes of poverty.\ This year's campaign collec­tion has been set for Sunday,Nov. 21, in the nation's Catholic'churches.

In a letter to his fellow Amer­ican bishops, Cardinal. Deardennoted that last year's collection,which raised' $8.5 ,million, "ex­ceeded our expectations."

Expressing gratitude to thebishops for their support, thecardinal-archbishop of Detroitsaid that the 1970 drive came"at a time when the nationaleconomy was down, unemploy­ment high and financial uncer~

tainty was the order of the day."Citing the purpose of the cam­

paign, Cardinal Dearden said:"If the campaign means any­thing, it means self-denial in or­der that others may be able tohelp themselves to achieve a lifeof justice and human dignity."
