Bishop of Fall River

Dearly beloved in Christ,

The whole Easter message--as relived in the Easter 'Vigil-is the rising anew in spirit with the Risen Christ.Easter tells us that the struggle between light and darkness,life and death, has taken place. Christ has been victorious:His redemptive work has been accomplished.

Now it remains for that salvation won by Christ tobe applied toal!. men. Each person must enter into thetr!umph of Christ. Each Christian, dying to that part ofhimself which i~ unworthy, must continually rise again innewness of life, with renewed lo.ve of God as shown in thekeeping of the commandments, with renewed love of neigh­bor through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, withrenewed personal hope and courage to form his or her ownlife more in the image Of the, :(,ord.·

The reality of Easter belongs not to a single day. Itis the continuing vocation of every Christian. As your.Bish­op, I rejoice with you that Christ is truly risen. Aiid I praythat He may be risen within each one of you, and that .His pres,ence in your lives may cause you to walk alwaysin His light and in His love.

Bishop Cronin's Easter Message

Faithfully your in Christ,

The' new St. Vincent's Homein Fall River, which will providea family atmosphere instead ofinstitutional -Hfe for dependentand neglected children,will bea major beneficiary of this year'sCatholic Charities Appeal.

The Most Rev. Daniel A. Cro­nin, bishop of the Fal1 River Dio­cese, appealed today for finan­Cial support for the home, which,will provide shelter for' childrenof ali races and creeds.

"In a day when the word 'rele­vant' has, taken on a sense ofurgency, nothing could be more

'relevant than the physical ande'motional needs of. youngsterswho have lost their homes,"Bishop Cronin said.. '

""I appeai to all residents of.Southeastern Massachusetts who .'have fond memories, of a happychildhood - and perhaps eVenm'Qre so to those who do notenjoy such' memories-for finan­cial assistance for the home,"the bishop said.

The college student is stillexperiencing a "crisis of growth"involving personal commitmentto God and final choice of a vo­cation, it continues. "He mustbe assisted to understand fuHythe options open to him,' to dis­cover his ,own identity, to rei.litehimself personally' and functfoli', ."

We relolce in Chrisrs victory over the grave­

and its promise of our own eternal re~emption"

Spiritually we renew in ourselves the glorious

resurrection of Christ.

Ordination would thus comeby reason of personal readinessand community approval ratherthan by class promotion," theNCCB document says.

A community dimension hasalso been added to seminary ad­ministration with a proposal fora seminary board composed ofclergy, Religious_ (and laymen"who share a concern for priest­ly formation."

The board's task, according tothe document, would be "to helpdevelop the basic. policy of theschoof' in accordance withChurch law, this program of theNational Conference of CatholicBishops, and standard Americaneducational practice."

a greater degree of personal and. emotional maturity," the docu­ment says, "because it will placehim in more of a 'real world'atmosphere than has been usualin the rather closed seminaryenvironment of the past."

Another suggestion for givingfuture priests practical minis­terial experience is a "deacon in­ternship" for an unspecifiedperiod of time after the theol\)­gate. Normally, ordination to thepriesthood comes shortly aftercompletion of theoiogate studies-and that option is still open.

The deacon int,ernship, how­.ever, would give a seminarianthe chance to live and work ina parish before making the lifecommitment that receiving finalorders implies.

Community Approval

When a deacon intern feelsready for ordination, his pastor,the field education director, theparishioners he has served andhis bishop can also evaluate hisreadiness.

Personal MaturityConcentrating at first on par­

ish work, the program can alsoinclude teaching catechetics orworking in hospitals, communityorganizations and charity agen­cies.

Practical suggestions for put­ting ministry to work during theseminary years are included inthe 120-page U. S: formationprogram.

It covers academics, generalgoals, organizational techniquesand spiritual formation in highschool, college' and graduatelevel (theologate) seminaries.

Along with academic studiesat the theologate level, it pro­poses a "field education'~ pro­gram, . directed by a seminaryfaculty member, to give futurepriests the opportunity for ex­posure to the people they willserve.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Thefirst formation program tailoredspecially for U. S. seminariansdescribes new ways for futurepriests to find out what ministryis like by working with the peo­ple they serve.

The U. S. Program of PriestlyFormation was authored by theNational Conference of CatholicBishops to fulfill a VaticanCouncil II directive that eachcountry in the world prepare itsown official seminary program.

Subject to the approval of theHoly See, the programs were 'tobe revised at regular intervalsand harmonize with a BasicPlan for Priestly Formation-is­sued in 1967 by the Vatican Con­gregation for Catholic Education.

The U. S. program has beenapproved for five years. "Afterthat time, in the light of experi­ence and of changing circum­stances, the program will be ad­justed and revised," said Auxil­iary Bishop Thomas J. Grady ofChicago, chairman of the U. S.

In the course of the book, as­sertions are made which areopen to challenge. But the chal­lenge should be reasonable. Thatis, what the author is sayingshould not be dismissed out ofhand, but: should be carefully',considered, so that the realmeaning. is grasped, and then'fairly tested.

Makes Us, Think

Brother.. Moran is' proposing, someting 'radical. He is not con­'tent to let any assumption, how­ever venerable, go unsifted. Inhis sifting, he finds some chaff,which he advocates. be discarded.He also finds good grain, whichhe wants proper!y used.

A new approach, new methodswill always draw opposition,and on occasion some scandal.But the failure of old ways is alltoo apparent, and there is some- ,thing scandalous about compla­cent continuation of them de­spite their unproductiveness. Wedo' not 'have to agree withBrother Moran, but we do have

, to agree that he makes us think.

This is an instance of the Iun­conventional, and even jar~ing,

strokes which the author deliv­ers rather fre'quelltly. But a: bitof reflection shows that, despitesome exaggeration, a valid ppintis,'made. ' I

It a]so clarifies what BrotherMoran has in mind when hei in­sists on the primacy of adulti ed­ucation. The author 'maintainsthat religious education is effec­tively accomplished only in COITI­

munity. There is, of, cour~~'lt~e

community of the family" mwhich the child begins life andspends his f.ormative years. i

The Chlirch, }W, says, cani domost in ,this regard by hel~ing

parents learn ho\y to be parents.As mature human 'beings and ma­ture Christians themselves, theycan be successful teachers ofl re-

Iligion but not in~;tructors. '

Beyond the family, there is(or should be) the 'Christian com­munity, which, of its very nat4re,is' the most powerful instrUmentof its members' Christian educa­tion. Brother Mor;~n tdenies thatthe parish as presen'tly con~sti­tuted deserves t~'e name: ofcommunity or serves the purposeof community. I

Complex Argtimen~, :,t

"If the Church actually func-tioned as a commi:mity of peoplededicated to searching for the,divine, reflecting on the impli'ca­tions of the quest, and liVing ;bythe consequences of the reflec­tion, its whole' mode of ,op~ra­

tion would be educatiomil."Hence changing religious eduba­tion in the Church plainly in-

,volves changes in. the Churchitself. " ' I

It involves changes in Catholicschools. Brother Moran, to re­peat, is not opposed to Catholicschools. He says II that closingthem is the very, reverse, of ,'aneducation,al policy. I

He has no patience with theIargument that CCJD classes c,an

substitute for schools, and ihecasts a skeptical eye on thegreat expectations attending t,heparish's engaging of a coordi~a-

tor of religious ~dllcation. I

The foregoing merely flitsfrom facet to facet of the intri­cate argUment which BrotHerMoran'makes in his book. Thatcomplex argument can be grasp­ed only as a whole, hence a c1~se

reading of the entire text is re­quired before either appreciatibn

At' the opening of the sixthchapter of this latest work, hestates that the book has threepremises., The first is "that the field of

religious education must be re­born out of a coalition of goodeducation and soundJheology."

The second is "that' theologyand education both point to thecentrality of experience for allreligious education."

The third is "that if experi­ence were actually, central to re­ligious education, then the fieldwould have to be developed fromthe perspective of' adult cen­terednes's. "

Ecumenical Educ~tion

Brother Moran holds that asmall child is a very religiousbeing' who needs plenty of reli­gious education. But he, believesthat, for a child, a formal courseon religion is almost, certain tobe inimical ·to religi'on. "The fin­ished products of- I,OOO-year dis­cussions are provided for thenourishment of six-yeai-olds,"imd they are simply incapable ofassimilatlng·these. The resultantattitude may be characterized 'bysentimentality; on the one hand,and prejudice, on t\.1e other.

This does not mean that reli­gion has ,no, place in, early edu­cation. By an ecumenfcal educa­tion is meant a good ~eneral ed­ucation related to thee'xperienceof the ind,ividual in his socialcontext and enabling him to in­terpret that· 'experience."

.Lifetirite Work

In the interpretation of expe­rience, religion has a uniquero,1e. But religion, cannot reallybe taught in isolation from allelse, nor can' it be taught as aset of dogmatic propositionswithout relationship to the sup­posed learner's experience.

Just as education is not lim­ited to schooling, so ecumenicaleducation is a lifelong process,continuing: from birth. to death.It should be' obvious that reli­gious education is the work of alifetime. As the years pa,ss, we

Cites DelusionOf Materialism

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Mod­ern man must not be deluded bythe materialistic opinion thatthe present life is all he has,Pope 'Paul VI told' a generalaudience in St. Peter's Basilica.

Comparing the delusion ofmaterialism to the temptation ofChrist in the desert, Pope Paulsummarized the enticements of­fered by the materialists: "Becontent with this world, for hereis reality, life, the fullness ofman, sufficient riches . , '. .Everything else is an illusion,an alienation, mere opium anda myth."

The Pope countered by say­ing that the material benefitsof this wofId 'are as transitoryas the bread pffered Christ inthe desert. Material benefitsmay satisfy for the moment, butthey do not last.

Instead, the Pope said, mod­ern man must be convinced that"this effort: of materialistic hu­manism act,ually lowers the sta­tus of man to a temporal andanimal level and denies the in­dividual his personality."

TALLAHASSEE (NC)~atho­Iic elementary and high schoolsin. Florida were operated slightlyle,ss .than $9 million in the redduring the 1969-70 school term,a statewide report disclosed.

The Florida Catholic Confer­ence which prepared the reportsaid the total cost of educationin the schools during the periodwas $24,645.728 and the deficittotaled $8,846,294.

Thomas A. Horkan, Jr., direc-'tor, said the survey was the. firstunder a uniform accounting sys­tem for all Catholic school sys­tems in the state.

He said it is apparent that un­less state aid is given the Cath­olic schooI-. system, the schoolsmay have to close.

Project EqualityNow Independent

CHICAGO (NC) - ProjectEquality, the nation's largest pri­vate program urging fair em­ployment practices, separatedfrom its parent body here to in­corporate as an independentinter-religious organization.

Formed in 1965 as a unit ofthe National Catholic Conferencefor -Interracial Justice, ProjectEquality now has nearly 400participating religious bodiesranging _in size from the New_York archdiocese to localchurches, synagogues and churchcouncils. .

Don Rose, Project Equality'sdirector of research and commu~

The only question washow soon it couid become self­supporting and autonomous."

Project Equality now operatesin 23 states, promoting employ­ment opportunities by directingthe purchasing power of religiousinstitutions toward businessesthat practice non-discriminatoryemployment.' .

FBI Pirector­Urges RespectFor P,olicem-en

WASHINGTON (NC)-Police­men should be respected, FBIdir~ctor J. Edgar Hoover said inthe current issue of the FBI LawEnforcement Bulletin.

Urging law enforcement offi­cers to serve with dignity andhonor, de~pite suffering person­al indignities, Hoover said, "asa rule, a repulsive slur is moredescriptive of its origin than itstarget."

"Frequently," the FBI directorsaid, "some belligerent, anti-lawenforcement elements of our so­ciety refer to police officers as'pigs: Obnoxious four-letterwords are shouted at policemen,and the familiar chant, 'Off thepigs,' meaning 'Kill the Police' isa prominent cry wherever thesegroups assemble.

"Further, cartoons and publi­cations depicting police officersas pigs are common fare, evenfor children. The ridiculousstatement, 'The only good pig isa dead pig' is a slogan of ,violentprotestors. Such deplorable epi­thets can be gratifying only tolittle minds."

Leaders IntimidatedHoover said that community

leaders, including clergymen,"need to shore up some erodingideals and principles" and "takea firm stand to preserve oursense of values." He complainedthat too many ~Ieaders are"swayed or intimidated by loud,unruly and aimless ramblers­people with a lot -of dialogue but'no message."

He said that policemen deservemore respect for what they rep­resent. "In a free society wherelaw-not man-is supreme, thepoliceman is a living symbol ofthe freedoms shared."

PORTLAND (NC)-The Sen­ate of Priests of, the Portlandarchdiocese has voted to repudi­ate a resolution passed by theNational Federation of PriestsCouncils calling for optional cel­ibacy for priests now active inthe ministry. .

The Oregon senate vote onthe NFPC statement was 18 forrepudiation, two against repudi­ation ,and six abstentions.

The resolution .read:"With all due respect for the

delegates to the recent nationalmeeting of the National Federa­tion of Priests Councils, thisSenate of Priests hereby repudi­ates the following resoiution ofthose delegates:

" 'We ask that choice 'betweencelibacy and marriage for priestsnow active in the ministry beallowed and, that the changebegin imm~diately.'''

"In no way does this repudia­tion judge the delegates' mo.­tives or good intentions, nordoes it pretend to debate thecase for or against celibacy; itmerely proclaims to the peopleof this archdiocese that this Sen­ate of Priests does not agreewith the recent action of theNFPC delegates and firmly dis­avows their view of dilutingcelibacy in the Catholic priest-hood." .

Father Reedy reported heasked Father Frank Bonnike,NFPC president, if he expectedthe U.

He said theNFPC head, refused to give ayes-orono answer.

"Instead, he said: 'We have aresponsibility to state our ownopinion honestly.' But all throughthe meeting, Father Bonnike andmany others insiste.d that thisstatement was intended as a'political document/ in otherwords, one which would achieveits practical results," FatherReedy wrote.

He charactedized the diver­gence ' ,of judgment betweenpriests and bishops on' the issue"as 'great as aimost any otherimaginable." He said at VaticanCouncil II, in synods and pastmeetings of the National Confer­ence of Catholic Bishops "everytime this subject has arisen, thesupport of the present disciplineof clerical celibacy was massive,if not unanimous."

Father Reedy said the NFPChas done "many good things forpriests in the United St!ites," hasprovided them a much neededvoice and could provide a "des­perately' needed" irtfluence withthe U. S. conference of bishops.

NOTRE DAME (NC)-A vet­eran journalist criticized as "aserious mistake" the stand takenby the National Federation ofPriests' Councils on the celibacyand married priests issues.

Holy Cross Father John Reedy,publisher of AD Correspondence,a newsletter issued here, saidin the April 3 issue that he hadattended the March IS-18 NFPCconVention in Baltimore.

He said the resolution regard­i,ng celibacy was made the mainisuue of the, convention. Theresolution called celibacy "a pre-

. cious tradition of the Church"which "must be preserved," thenrequested the priests now activebe given th,e choice betweenmarriage and celibacy; that na­tional hierarchies be allowed toaccept married men as candi­dates for the priesthood and thatpriests who already have mar­ried be invited to return to, theministry. ',_

The vote on the resolutionwas 182 in favor, 23 opposedand three abstaining, with 221delegates at the' convention,Father Reedy said.

Diminishes Stature"These priests, were not pres­

ent as individuals; they had beenelected' to represent affiliatedsenates' of priests (formally es­tablished with approval and in­fluence of the bishOp) and alsoa number of priest associations(usually established by thepriests, themselves, without theformal approval-often encoun­tering the disapproval -"- of thebishops)," Father Reedy wio'te.

He expressed belief the NFPCresolution 'has little chance ofachieving its goal; diminishes thestature of the NFPC; will lead tofllrther alienation of priests frombishops; will mislead a numbE:rof priests into believing a change

, of policy is inevitable, and willfurther polarize the Church' inthe United States..

Force Not All

We assume too easily thatforce is all. The lesson of Polandfor Russia as of Vietnam for'America is that power is noten<;lUgh to suppress people whobelieve their fundamental inter­ests ar eat stake. The idea ofself-determination cannot besimply eclipsed. It' revives andlives again.

The second reason has closeconnections with this issue of"self determination." It is a prin­ciple enshrined in the world'soverall basic law, the Charter ofthe United Nations. One of thepurposes of the U. N. is to set upan independent, internationalpolice force precisely to preventlocal disputes from involvingoutside powers and to createand hold a context for peacefulsettlement.

Since 19So-when the U. N.sanctioned the defense of SouthKorea-a number of U. N. policeactions have had some success.The Congo emerged from civilwar with its territory intact andwithout two rival governments­as in Germany or Korea or Viet­nam. Thanks to U. N. policing,Cyprus has not drawn Greeceand Turkey into a disastrouswar. The U. N.'s mediation ef­forts have at least so far local­ized the bitter Israeli~Arab strug-~~ ,

Need Security Agrement

But this does not mean thatlower arms spending is incon­ceivable In fact, only some jointagreement on reduced levels ofarms in Europe can help the twoGreat Powers solve one of theissues tending toward stalemateat the talks on strategic armslimitation (SALT).

At present, Russia says Amer­ican medium and short rangerockets in Europe must be con­trolled. The Americans point outthat these are there to protectEurope from the equivalent rock~

ets based in Russia. The argu­ment is only solvable through aEuropean Security Agreementwhich could have the effect, bothon reducing arms spending andof helping forward the SALTtalks.

But at least one-third of theAmerican arms budget is devotedto Vietnam and to preparationsfor other possible Vietnams. Ifthe United States undertook nomore such expeditions and in­volvements in the developingpost-colonial continents - how­ever excellent the reasons for ac­tion-would small peoples every­where be left to th~ mercy ofCommunist expansion?'

There are' two main 'reasonsfor doubting if such an outcomewould be certain. The first is

In theory, the two CommunistGreat Powers might make com­mon cause against imperialism.In practice, so' far, they havejust gone through a decade ofspiteful, resentful relations, eachdenouncing the other's heresyand each disputing the other'sversion of the immensely longcommon frontier they are con­demned to share. It sems a rea­sonable assumption that the At­lantic states do not have to out­match both Communist GreatPowers simultaneously., In the relations between Rus­sia and America, there is clearlyone area in which unilateralAmerican disarmament does notmake sense. Europe is itself sopowerful and highly industrial­ized that neither Great Powercan at present envisage theother taking over the whole con­tinent.

Outlines CatholicSchoolls Formula

CAMDEN (NC)-The superin­tendent of Gamden diocesanschools has outlined a formula tooffset pessimistic predictionsmade by "prophets of doom" re­garding the future' of Catholicschools.

In a letter to administratorsand faculty members of diocesanschools, Father James R. Tracysaid: "We must a"ticulate thevalues of Ca,tholic education,analyze the strengths and weak­nesses of our schools, actualizetheir potential and then makeour voices heard."

Father Tracy, acknowledgedCatholic education today "standsat the turning point of decision,"adding it is "our task as educa­tors to 'Jet people see the insideof our schools and the heart ofour system."

Contrary to "prophets ofdoom" predictions that Catholicschools are headed toward ex­tinction, Father Tracy said thereis no breakdown of trust or com·munications among diocesan ed-

'ucators. He said "value educa­tion is the goal" and Catholicschools should be communities oflove in addition to,' institutionsof learning.

He called for innovative tech·niques such a~ team 'teaching;"individualized-prescribed in·struction, and frequent facultymeetings to discuss means ofmeeting the quality educationgoal."

Father Tracy asked the schoolsto undergo a self:evaluation pro­gram of their religious educationprograms based on guidelinesfixed by the National CatholicEducational Association.,

What happens to, a familywhen the wage-earner loses hisjob? He spends days searchingthe want-ads, tracking downendless leads. Those at homeshare the disapointment he suf­fers each evening when he re­turns, jobless. Discouragementand fear build as he nears theend of his prospects. The familytries to go about its daily life,desperately praying that he'llfind something.

Then he calls,' glowing withexcitement. He's been hired! The"Good Friday" is finished; thedawn of "Easter Sunday" breaks.

We value the '''Sundays'' in re·......lation to the depth of the "Fri­days,"

And sometimes the "Good Frii'days" are severe - long andwearing. Everyone has facedthem at sOJ:l1e time during life.

A few years ago, my familyhad a series of tragedies that

Legislators VoteAgainst Abortion

WASHINGTON (NC) - Mary­land and Georgia have joined thegr0wing list of states whose leg­islators have turned down billsaimed ' at lifting restrictionsagainst abortion.

The Maryland House of Dele­gates decisively defeated a billthat would have removed virtu­ally all restrictions. The propos­al,similar to one passed by thelegislature last year but vetoedby Gov. Marvin Mandel, was re­jected by a wide margin 77-to-49.

Public awareness and opposi­tion were the main factors caus­ing defeat, according to severalCatholic leaders closely tied. tothe issue. '

Maryiand Del. S. Frank 'Shorewho led opposition against thebill, said that letter-writing cam­paigns, seminars, citizen contactwith legislators and iectures byphysicians kept the "rights ofthe unborn" before. the law­makers.

Passionist Father Neil, O'Don­nell, Baltimore archdiocesan co­ordinator of health affairs, said ­the defeat showed '''an enlight­ened awareness of, an arousedsocial conscience on the part ofthe people of Maryland of a)1shades of belief and convictions."

The 'area's immediate needsare' being met by governmentand private agencies, butCatho­Iic Charities expects to bear mostof the long-term burden since itis the only permanent familysocial agency .in the area.

For children of such par­ents the Society tries to teachthe parents as much as theyare capable of learning. Everyeffort is made to enlist the helpof schools and other egenciesand to .. encourage relatives tobecoming involved in the careof the children.

"Child neglect or abuse is asymptom of many problems inthe· family - alcoholism, drugabuse, mental illness. Most ofthe children we help come frommulti-problem families," saidUtos.

"Our focus is on trying tokeep the family intact. Whenwe can, we place children withrelatives. It's only when con­ditions are hazardous that weare forced to go into court andthat's only in 5 per cent of thecases."

From his main office in Taun­ton and two satellite offices inFall River and Attleboro, Utosdirects the work of a super­visor and six caseworkers inBristol County.

"We do get a few crank orspite calls out we~d rather besafe than sorry and we usuallyfind a basis for the complaint,"he said.

Plan ConferenceOn Alcoholism

WASHINGTON (NC) - Morethan 590 Catholic, Protestantand Jewish clergymen will meethere May 2'5 for a conference 011

. treating alcoholism-a problemwhich the sponsors say afflicts10 per cent of American clergy,twice the national average.

The conference is sponsoredby the National Clergy Councilon Alcoholism, originally a Cath­olic organization but now ana·tional interfaith group.

Fath~r Roger P. Gallagher,convention chairman, said theclergy have a special interest intreating alcoholism because, insix out of 10 cases, an alcohol­ic's first appeal for help is to aclergyman.

Participants will include Car­dinal Patrick O'Boyle of Wash­ington and Dr. Isaac Franck, ex­ecutive vice-president of tlleWashington Jewish CommunityCouncil.

attorney and in a last desperateeffort to help the little girl, shecalled on the New York Societyfor the Prevention of Cruelty toAnimals. Mary Ellen's case wasbought to court by the Society.The foster parents were sent tojail and Mary Ellen went toIhe in the home of the churchworker. She ev'entuallY marrieda prosperous New York farmer,:md had two' fine children of herown.

Over the years that the So­ciety has been in service tothousands of children like MaryEllen, caseworkers have seendefinite patterns of neglect andabus~, said Utos. •

The pattern of generationalabuse is a common one. Case­workers find an abusive, reject­ing mother and in countless in­stances discover that she her-

o self. had been a sadly neglected~nd abused child. Where recordsare complete, the continuingIinp of abuse has been found ex­tending for a~ many as fivegenerations.

Retarded Parents

Another pattern caseworkerssee often is that of the childabused or neglected by intellec­tually limited parents. Mentallyretarded parents, no matter how

is also self-perpetuating. Expertsin the field feel that abused andneglected children, if they sur­vive, will strike out at societyas future criminals, future mur­derers and future child-beaters.

In his office in the HubbardHouse on Church Green in Taun­ton, Mr.. Utos spoke about thegrowth of the Society that wasfounded on' April 23, 1878.

The headlines in the BostonGlobe that day read: "Revolu­tion Threatened in Russia" and"Indian War Imminent-SittingBull Hostile". There was also aspecial notice announcing thebirth of the Society' for the Pre­vention of Cruelty to Children.

Tony Utos is a tall man withkindly eyes and grey- curlinghair. When' he talks about chil­dren his voice is warm withemotion.

He- related the story of MaryEllen, the first child ever helpedby a protective. agency, whowas saved from a life of cruelabuse through a law preventingcruelty to animals.

The story of the MSPCC-andindeed of any child protective'agency-might well begin withthe tale of Mary Ellen. A book­let published by the Society,with a picture of Mary Ellenthat would wrench your heart,says, "To the layman, Mary El­len is simply a name. But tochild protective workers, it isa symbol of the abuses whichchildren once suffered and ofthe awakening of public consci­ousness which finally gave tochildren the status of human be­ings."

Mary Ellen entered the publiceye in 1874. One day a churchworker in New York City vi~it­

Masso Society for Child Cruelty PreventionBy Dorothy Eastman

A housewife sees that her'next door neighbor is constant­ly sending her toddlers out inthe bitterest weather inade­quately clothed. A school nursespots signs of physical abuse on

. a grade school child. Both thehousewife and the nurse askthemselves what they, as respon­sible adults, should do aboutthese situations. Where can theyturn for help for. these unfortu­nate children?

Help is as near their tele­phones and the number is listedfor the Massachusetts Societyfor the Prevention of Cruelty toChildren. A private, statewidechild protective agency, MSPCCprovides casework counselling toparents whose children havebeen neglected, abused or in­adequately cared for.

The words "cruelty" and"children" conjure up mentalpicture~l of poor little HE'.enBurns with her wracking cough,standing in the freezing rain"punished by a cruel school mas­ter for her act of kindness toJane Eyre, or the pale, pinchedfaces of little boys trudging offin the grey dawn to wor,k in theFall River textile mills.

Face of CrueltyBut what face does cruelty to

children wear in 1971?Anthony Utos, District Exec­

utive for BristOl County for the'children's protective society,said in a recent report: "Onewould think that in this dayand age, as we' near the twenty­first centurY,'a'gencies dealingwith abuse and neglect of chil­dren should be close to beingobsolete' and. unnecessary. After·all, we have come a long wayfrom the stone age to the highly'developed· sophisticated spacetravel era. Unfortunately, this isnot. . so.. The more· technology

Pope to AppointPriests AuditorsAt F'a II Synod

VATICAN CITY (NC)-PopePaul VI will name some priestsas auditors for the Synod ofBishops' Fall meeting, which willdiscuss the problems of thepriesthood' in the modern world.

The Pope's intention was an­nounced in a front-page articlein L'Osservatore Romano. Thearticle was, in effect, a summaryof a letter that was sent to thepresidents of bishops' confer­ences around the world by thesynod's general secretary, Bishc,pLadislaw Rubin.

Bishop' Rubin's letter urgedthe world's bishops-and espe­cially those who are to repre­sent their conferences at theforthcoming Synod meeting-toconsult. with their priests' todeepen their knowledge of thetheme of the priestly ministrytoday.

The Vatican City newspapersaid Bishop Rubin's letter in­formed the presidents of Bish­ops' conferences that the Pope"intends to name 'some priestsas auditors of the next synodalassembly, providing them withthe opportunity of attending theplenary meetings of the synodand of taking part in the so­called small language groups."

It was also stated that thePope will name these priestsafter possible choices have beensubmitted by the bishops' con­ferences of the various 'conti­nents.

The naming of priests to at­tend a synod is a departure fromthe original norms. While thenorms do provide .lor 10 priests

.representing 'R'engl6us orders iUldcongregations to attend an ordi­nary session of the synod, noother provision for priests wasspecified.

Elect RepresentativesThe number of bishop's repre­

senting a given bishops' confer­ence depends on the total mem­bership of the conference. TheU. S. bishops elect four repre­sentatives to an ordinary synod.

The decision to admit priestswas made months ago by PopePaul. Certain key priests aroundRome, for instance, had beenasked at least by early Januaryto submit names of candidates.

This 'clearly means that a let­ter written in February by FatherFrancis Bonnike, president of theNational Federation of PriestsCouncils of the United States,was "on target," but did notprecipitate the decision.

Father Bonnike wrote BishopRubin, asking that priests beadmitted to the synod, since oneof the two main topics is thepriesthood.

Birthright's credo is: It is theright of every pregnant womanto give birth. And central tothat credo is Mrs. Summerhill'sassumption that "no woman inclear conscience destroys herown."

University HeadSays AllegationsLack Evidence

PALO ALTO (NC)-Six Cath·olic priests have asked Stan·ford University to "mobilize andshow strength" to end the warin Vietnam.

The clergymen, including Fa·ther John S. Duryea, directorof the Stanford Newman Cen·ter,critlcized' 'the uh'iversity's'president for not leading theway.

In an open letter the groupcalled upon "all of us who claimto be Christians" to go beyondanti·war rhetoric to coordinatedaction aimed at ending the war.

The letter noted that RichardW. Lyman, the university's pres·ident, had condemned the war S h h b th fuc as een e success 0previosuly, but addressed him,

Recognize Him?

court hears an appeal of the aidlaw. "We're pleased and hopefulfor the future," said' Msgr. JamesA. Connelly, school superintend­ent for the Hartford archdiocese.

Aid to ContinueWASHINGTON (NC) - The

U. S. Supreme Court ruled thatConnecticut can resume itsfinancial aid to nonpublic ele­mentary schools until the high

But to each of these Jesus revealed Himsef by a word orby the breaking of bread. To each of these He gave a mission:He told Mary to go tell the others; He told the disciples thatrepentance should be preached; and He told Peter to feed Hissheep. After Christ was recognized He disappeared, leaving themto find Him still present in each other!

Today is no different. The Lord comes to us, and yet oftendon't recognize Him. He is present still among us; He speaks tous in His Word; and He is present in the Breaking of the Bread.Like .Mary, the travellers, and the apostles,' He ·Ieaves us witha mis3ion to go to the others and tell them the Good Newsthat He is risen - He is God - we are saved!

We could all give endless examples of our personal ex­periences of God; be it in an experience of love, prayer, com­mimity, birth and death, or happiness and sorrow. God is presentand acting in our lives so much we· often don't realize it. Butwhen we do experience God in our life, do we go out exclaim-ing our Good News to others? .

We are all called to "propagate our faith," and we do in manyways. Our actions alone witness 'to others our inner motivations(that which "moves" us to act or react.) When others experiencelove, trust, patience, and goodness from you, do they not ex­perience something of God, if your life is motivated by Christ'slife within you?

Easter and Christrnas remind us of this. Unfortunately theEaster "spirit," like the Christmas spirit, dwindles away (afterthe lilies die, the new clothes are worn, and the Easter basketsare empty) and we go about our business not grasping thejoy each day holds with eaillh experience of people. relatingwith people.

Likewise the spirit of sacrifice and giving may be. pushedaside as if. our obligation had been fulfilled till next Lent. Weeasily forget that God is present among us in the suffering-poorof the missions; that Christ's Mission is not a supplement to ourChristian life, but a real· extension of it; that tl)e missionariesdepend on their fellow-Christians for support all year; and thatour giving to the missions is not just a charitable act, but areal witness of our faith from which other living human beingswill experience the living God! .

We would like to express here our gratitude for yourgenerous sacrifices for the missions during Lent. At the sametime we 'do not hesitate to beg for your continued LOVE for theworld's poor and their missionaries. In the' true spirit of Easterthen,. please share your faith and Good News with others bysending a gift for the missions. Please clip out this column,attach your sacrifice, and mail it ·today.

The early Christians experienced the Risen Lord in severalways as expressed in the Resurrection episodes in Scripture.Except when the Apostles were gathered together (in "com­munity"), the people to whom Jesus appeared did. not recognizeHim at first.

.Mary thought He was the gardener; the disciples on the road. to Emmaus thought He was just another traveller; an'd the opstlesfishing on the lake thought He· was probably just another fish­erman.

Love; for Bible

Enumerating nevi Bible wOrkopenings within. the last year,Mr. Smaadahl said the.UBS has·contact with 13 translation proj­ects-four in Yugoslavia, threein the Soviet. Uniori, two inCzechoslovakia and one each inBulgaria, Hun'gary, P?land andRumania.

He said contacts are made in'several ways. European consult­ants and translation specialistsvisit various' communist. coun­tries, he said.. Eastern Europetranslators take part. in trainingcourses iii the West, he added.

"A deep love for the l3ible hasemerged,. which has made thedeep and uncovered needs .forHoly Scriptures even greater,"Mr. Smaadahl said.

NEW YORK (NC)-A consult­ant for the United Bible Societiessaid here new openings forBible work in communist­dominated countries of EasternEurope now are more "encour­aging" than in many years.

The Rev. Sverre Smaadahl,based in Geneva, Switzerland, asEastern Europe consultant forthe societies, said the extent ofthe Bible work varies in EasternEuropean countries, with the ex­ception of Albania where reli­gion is forbidden.

Mr. Smaadahl, a Norwegianwho has a master:'s degree intheology from Yale University'sdivinity school, was here for UBSadministrative meetings. He saidthat for decades there have beenno fresh supplies of Scripturesin a majority of the communist­dominated c 0 un t r i e sandchurches have lost many of theirprivileges.

"Christians in. Eastern Europehave experienced what .it is. tolive under the cross," .he 'said,but Christianity "has survived."

'risen Christ.

, Reason for Survival

The'Resurrection in ,Everyday LivingThe Resurrection of Jesus

Christ from the tomb brought aninstant ,meaning and a spirit intothe lives of His early followers.The Resurrection brings the samemeaning and spirit into our lives,in 1971 and thereafter.

Modern living is" we are told,becoming more grim each year.Existence seems more hopelessfor the older people, for the mid­dle IIged, for the young. Howcan a person survive--:-stay away',from the prevailing gloom?

You will (Jneed three things:(1) a spirit of unity with a,ll peo- ,pIe; (2) a spirit of optimism; (3)a philosophy of life that givesyou the long-range view, so you

, know what you are supposed, tobe doing in life.

The need, for these three isevident. Without unity you will

,feel separated, from other gener­ations and people-you will feelalone, 'misunderstood, unhelpedby others; not helping others. So.somehow you must get a bond of

, unity with all "people.

NECESSITY OF OPTIMISM

Also, you mu~thave optimism.The daily news. stresses war,'crisis and disast~r incessantly, sothat it person, can become ob­sessed with worry. If you allowyourself to be overwhelmed, youwill become a fearful, depressedhuman being. Especially if young,you will be tempted to deep dis­couragement with. life, to becomecritical of soCiety, to stop trying,to turn to drugs or drink. To sur­vive in 1971 and afterwards youwill need, optimism. ' .

But you will have neitherunity nor optimism unless youhave if philosophy of life thatwill explain life and, give you areason for, living and for re­maining cheerful and truly inter­ested in all other people. Other­wise one is ju~t stumbling

,around in the dark, perpetuallylost, without a roadmap.

'But if a person had a philoso~phy of life ~hat would explainwhat it is all about and at thesame time would encourage' bothoptimism and' unity with otherpeople-thEm hewould have thereal key to survival in 1971 andafterwards'.

DUBUQUE (NC) - Guidelinesfor U. S. seminary formationwhich the nation's bishops madepublic on March 23 already needupdating, a theologian, whohelped write them said here. '

Father 'C1etus Wessels, Domin·iean priest who is dean of theol­ogy at Aquinas Institute in Du­buque, said things are happeningso rapidly in the Church "thatmuch of what is contained inthese guidelines is in Ileed ofrevision." .

Father Wessels, who helpededit preliminary drafts of guide­line sections on theological cur·riculum and ecumenism, said thedocument "is based on a view ofthe Church which sees the semi­nary geared primarily to educat·ing priests for Catholic parishes."

He noted that "the concept ofministry is undergOing profoundchanges," and said guideline reovisions should say more about"the broader ministry."

Open to ChangeThe U: S. Program of Priestly

Formation, developed to fulfill aVatican Council II directive thateach country in the world pre­pare an official seminary pro­gram, makes specific provisionfor revision in its preface.

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J.Grady of Chicago, chairman ofthe U. S. bishops' priestly forma.tion co~mittee, said the docu­ment "is open to change andevolvement." ,

"The program has been ap­proved by the Sacred Congrega­tion for Catholic Education for aperiod' of five years," BishopGrady said. ':After that time, inthe light of experience and ofchanging circumstances, the pro­gram will be adjusted and reovised."

As the sun set over, Emmaus,the disciples' invited the strangerto dinner with them. At themeal, they recognized him "inthe breaking of the bread."

They recognized that he wasalive, that he was with them,that he had been alive and withthem even when they did no't rec­ognize him. Joy filled their livesand they returned to Jerusalemto their friends to take up theirlives anew. "

Faith in his presence is deep­ened through the ability to readand interpret signs of his life­giving presence. As, along theEmmaus road an~ at the. Em·maus inn, the chief signs re­main the Eucharist, the Scrip­tures, and human fellowship orlove. But there are countlessother signs of his life-givingpresence with us.

As they walked along, Jesusjoined them, but they were un­able to recognize him. He sensedtheir sadness and asked whatwas troubfing them. They pouredout to the stranger what had oc­curred and how they felt. Helistened with understanding.

It remains to be seen if andwhen the American bishops willconsider this question again orwhat may be the outcome. ButI think we should try to keep thecontroversy in perspective. Com­munion in the hand was themore co.mmon method duringChristianity's first millenium.Both the hand and the tonguehave been consecrated and madea new creation through baptism;one is not holier than the other.Communion in the hand, espe­cially with the larger, more sub­stantial altar breads called forby the revised Roman Missal,may prove an even more rev­erent procedure than ou'r cus­tomary practice of placing theEucharist on a person's tongue.
