WASHINGTON (NC) - Twoofficials of the U. S. CatholicConference have urged that theUnited States' pay its dues andcontinue membership in the International Labor Organization.
The appeal by Msgr. GeorgeHiggins and Msgr. Marvin' Bordelon was based on informationfrom the Vatican, churchmenconnected with ILO' and "ourown observations."
Msgr. Higgins is director ofthe urban life division of theUSCC, while' Msgr. Bordelon isdirector of the Department ofInternational' Affairs.
They noted that PresidentNixon had urged Congress to appropriate money for the dues,now two years in arrears, peforethe United States loses its votein the Geneva-based organization. If this happens, the president said the United" Stateswould be forced to withdrawfrom ILO, ' according to thepriests.

capped not as useless membersof society, but rather as fullfledged citizt;ms of very greatcourage-men and women whohave risen above almost insurmountable obstacles.
In the past not too manyAmericans thought that the mentally retarded, for e~ample, couldlead lives of economic freedomand could find community acceptance as taxpayers. parentsand citizens. The Kennedy family - whose eldest daughter isretarded - took' a partcular interest in thi,s problem. The government picked up where theyleft' ,off. Congress, the Stat~s,

sary of the Presiderit's Commit-tee in 1967, commenteci that theCommittee "faces 'two challenges.The integration of mentally retarded persons in the work forceat job levels they call handle ' is ,a momentous task. Secondly, thestream of disabled vleterans returning from Vi~tnam must berehabiUtated and placed."
~oud of PerformanceAmerica added that: the Com
mittee's success "depends on itskeeping other organizations informed of the rights and needsof handicapped persQns."
As a member of the President'sCommittee for some two decades, I can vouch for its abilityto keep its members and the public informed. And the public isresponding, although obviouslywe still have a long way to go.Great good has been done bythousands of individuals and hun- .dreds of organizations -whichhave cooperated with the Committee, not because they feltthey had to but because theysincerely wanted to.
On balance, the Committeeand the' American pu,blic havea right to be proud of their performance ,in the integration of,the mentally retarded during thepast half decade. The Federalgovernment alone has placedmore than 7,000 in purposefuljobs wi~h just a handful of failures and with .low turnover andhigh promotion and recognitionrates-all this for people considered unemployable a few yea,rsback.
Conscience Chief WeaponThe rehabilitation and place

Asserts RacismStill Strong
NOTRE DAME (NC) - TheUnited States has been "perilously close to apartheid" in the pastand the climate of race relationsis still "troubled and emotionridden," former U. S. SupremeCourt Chief Justice Earl Warrensaid here. I
Mr. Warren gave three lectures at the University of NotreDame to inaugurate a new serieson civil rights sponsored by theuniversity's law school.
As chief justice of the SupremeCourt in 1954, when the' courtruled that segregated educationwas unconstitutional, Mr. Warren has himself often been thecenter of controversy about racef~lations in the U. S.
He defended the activist roleof the court in the 1950s and1960s and insisted that "everygroup of American citizens isentitled to all the rights andprivileges of that citizenship orit ,is entitled to none.
"Harmony in race relations isnot simply or easily achieved,"he said. "No matter how compre·hensive and clear the law is onthis subpect, there will alwaysbe some to promote tensionsand patterns of resistance."
He recalled that many personsused to complain to him that theSupreme Court was moving "toofast" in the area of civil rights."These people," he said, "werenot racists. They were not unfriendly. They were simply uninfqrmed or unthinking."

"As viewed from the moon,the question of the validity orrelevancy of the Christian beliefwas utterly absurd." After theflight, he was more. firmly convinced than ever in his rejectionof the idea that "the earth justh~ppened" and that the Bible"does not relate."
Borman felt that "just as spaceflight opened the universe tohuman contact, ,so did Christianity ,herald the beginning of anactive code of moral conduct."
The key .to Christian belief isThat all who are called to the Sacred Priesthood the Bible, he continued, whoseWill courageously aCI(~ept thleir vocation, and words are "both a promise and

They deserve to be heardby those whose only concern iswith the here and now ... bythose contemporary voices whoare constantly telling us that itis the things we do that count."
The 1970's, he said, are showing "signs of the declining impact of religion' on Americanlife." This may be one of themost "crucial" decades in allChurch history.

This Year's AppealThe results of the Catholic Charities Appeal are even
more heartening than the bare statistics reveal when oneconsiders that this was the hard year, the year when peopleheld onto. their money, the year of critical unemploymentin our area, the year when people have been afraid to letgo of money.
But the magnificent result is a great tribute to thebasic virtue of concern for a brother or sister in need outof pure disinterested charity.
The hearts of people are still touched by the call tohelp a neighbor and never more so than when such a callis put on the basis of love of God and love of God's people.
It is not a matter of talking money in this ye~r's Appeal,put of talking charity.

Sometimes prime examples of a credibility g;ap showup in a most striking way. When the President of theUnited'States went on television to report the mining ofharbors of North Vietnam, he was followed in a matterof minutes by a commentator who flatly declared that thismeant that Nixon's' Russian tour would be cancelled. It
- was not, of course.Then a day went by in the U.S.S.R. with no announce- I
ment of any agreement on limiting arms, and commentators, promptly indicated that talks along these lines had bogged
down and nothing was to be expected. The treaty wassigned within two days.
A great deal of unnecessary turmoil is brought aboutby this kind of speculation. Perhaps it could be forgiven ifit were couched in different terms, expressed as one of Prayer of the FaithfiUl for Vocll~ionsseveral possibilities. But too many times are possibilitiesannounced as if they were certainties, and there is tensionand a jumping to conclusions until the facts pro:ve otherwise.
It is true in'Church matters as well. How often severalyears. ago during and just after Vatican Council II didwriters confidently declare' that all sorts of things weregoing to happen-eelibacy 'on the way out, the resignationof the Pope, radical changes in the sacraments and so forth.
, People were thrown into turmoil, apprehension was theorder of the 'day, people picked, up the morning newspaperor the weekly news magazine and trembled in reading whatwould happen tomorrow to their Church.
Well, time has gone by. The religious speculation ex-perts ,hli've had many of their declarations shot down. Lector:The _Church is in the process of getting used to thosechanges that are indications ofspirit4al life and growthand development. And most of the changes that peopleworried about simply have not happened. Indeed, many,ari adult Catholic is surprised that the updating that hastaken place did not hurt at all. ,Lector:
The hurt has come in, as it has always come in, when'people set about updating their -inner lives, conformingtheir wills to the will of God, the making of their faith avital dynamic force that would make Christ live in whatthey thought and said and did. . '
And the speculators? Some of them are still writingand speaking and predicting a}l sorts of things, bizarre andotherwise, for the Church of God. But there' has been
, opened a credibility' gap. ~ere is one area in which Cath- Lector:olics have matured in a way that perhaps was not ex-pected.

In a foreword to the report,Bishop Mortimer said: "The general attitude in the Church ofEngland seems to be to regardexorcism as an exercise in whitemagic or a survival of medievalsuperstition. Its positive aspectas an extension of the frontiersof Christ's kingdom and a demopstration of the power of theResurrection to overcome eviland replace it with good is overlooked."
Noting that few church members have any knowledge or exI:1erience on this subject, the re
, port contains prayers for exorcism and blessing, both of places,and people.

Backs SolidarityDay for Jews
WASHINGTON (NC) - Thegeneral secretary of the U. S.Catholic 'Conference has endorsed the National SolidarityDay for Soviet Jews as an observance drawing "Christiansand Jews into ever closer fellowship."
"Soviet restriction of religiousand civil liberties extends notonly to Jews but to Christiansas well," Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin said.
"The recent petition of 17,000Lithuanian Catholics, protestingsuppression of their religiousrights, brings this lesson home tothe Catholic community in theUnited States in a particularlymoving and dramatic way,"Bishop Bernardin said.
"Truly when government isbent on denying fundamental religious liberties to any' group,none is safe and all must joinin protest."
Bishop Bernardin said that religious liberty is "fragile andoften threatened" in many partsof the world, but added thatAmericans are fortunate that"religious liberty is protected inlaw and~tradition" in the UnitedStates.

Needs of Youth,Important TopicFor Bishops
PHILADELPHIA (NC)-"Yo'uthneeds to be informed and con·vinced that the Gospel offerseffective solutions to the prob·lems of the world - solutionswhich are not necessarily instan·taneous, but solutions which arelong lasting."
This was part of the consensusat the ,recent Inter-AmericanBishop's Meeting, according toCardinal John Krol, president ofthe National Conference of Catholic Bishops;
Cardinal Krol noted that themeeting ata retreat house nearMontreal was informal, "held forthe purpose of promoting dialogue and to provide an opportunity to share ideas on mattersof mutual concern."
"The consensus of viewsreached," the Cardinal continued,"represented the views of theparticipating bishops but notnecessarily those of thee conferences to which they belong."
Regarding the topic of "TheChurch and the Political Order,"Cardinal Krol said that there wasa reaffirmation of the specificmission of the Church.
Gospel Values"While the mission of the
Church is the reconciliation andunity of men with God in Christand the reconciliation of menwith each other in Christ," Cardinal Krol said, "there are socialand political dimensions andhence, through Christians, theChurch strives to eliminate thatwhich is the basis of injustice insociety and in the world."
Cardinal Krol said that the attention of ,the bishops also wascalled to the "unrest and impatience of young people, butalso to their wholesome interestin their neighbors and in society."
"The evidence of the seemingdisenchantment of many youngpeople in the Church as an institution would indicate that thereis an increasing need to emphasize the lasting values which the
\ Church teaches," the cardinalsaid.
"The Church must present itself to youth as a community inChrist which has hope and joy,because it is a community whosesense of life is rooted in Gospelvalues;" he said.

RAOINE (NC)-Sister MichelleOlley expected to win a seat onthe public school board here inWisconsin, but her easy victoryand quick acceptance came as apleasant surprise."
In her campaign SisterMichelIe, the first Religious toseek office here, found thatvoters "would look at a nun asa person and make an objectivejudgment." .
The success of her campaign,she believes, is based on severalfactors: Racine is her home,town; strong support from students and parents connected w.itl:St. Catherine high school; par..ticipation in some 20 publicmeetings; and meeting peopleover 'coffee in private homes.
She said she often found her··self talking to. people who wereinterested in the Church and religious me. She also met manywho had never met a nun on apersonal basis even though hercommunity, 'the Racine Dominican Sisters, has been part of thear!'la mOJ;e than a century.
Sister MichelIe said her :interest in a seat on the public schoolboard developed in part from her
,current work at St. Patrick parish where she's involved in aduJ.teducation programs.
"As a Relig.ious, I feel I shouldbe interested in anything thathumanizes people ... And, if wes,ee how many children attendpublic school, we rea.Jize that!hey make up a significant dimension of our society."
Pleased that' she received, only,minor criticism, Sister Michellefeels justified in serving on apublic school board for ,two reasons:, She has some 21 years experience in education, including anadministrative role as vice principal at St. Catherine highschool;

While such talk at this timecould be called rushing the season (like that store that featuresa window full of Christmas trees'in September) the fact does haveto be faced that no new summerstock will' be coming into thestores and that when merchandise does arrive there it's goingto be of the fall and wintervariety.

Catholic LeadersReaffirm RightTo Run Schools
GLASGOW (NC) - SoottishCathol-ic lel!ders took the recentobservance of the centenary offree,' compulsory education in
· Scotlan<;l to .reaffirm theChurch's right to run its ownschools.
They did so in the face of increasing pressure here, as inEngland and Wales, to abandonseparate sectarian schools forthe sake of ecumenism and ofpolitical peace.. Cardinal John WTight, anAmerican who is prefect of theVatican's' Congregation I)f theClergy,. attended a.national rally
.held here in support of Catholicschools.
.Cardinal Wright told some1,000 persons at the rally thatthe word "sectarian" was usedused by people with closed mindsto desoribe what most sensiblepeople call religious or moraleducation..
"We live in controversial,short-tempered times," he said,"People are impatient for instantresults - instant solutions - instant coffee-and instant divorce.
o The cardinal rejected chargesthat separate schools encourage
. bigoted divisions."Tastes divide a community,"
he said. "Political parties dividea community. Obituary notices .divide those who aresoffy hedied and those who are 'glad."
Scotland's Cardinal GordonGray of St. Andrews and Edin-
· burgh presided at the rally and .said that the painful sacrificesmade by the Catholic oommunityin 1872 in accepting,the obligation to ensure full-time education for every Catholic child hadborne fruit in the 1918 EducationAct here.
This act, he said, recognizes·andaccepts the basic Catholicconvietion that education in theschool must be an extension ofeducation in the home and thatvalues taught at school must Te-
o flect those taught by parents.Young~ters are now being sub
jected to increasing temptationsand -it is important that they receive a solid religious grounding,Lord Langford said. This -enablesthem to resist when these "appalling" temptations pile up, he
· added. '

of hopelessness; an alienation-a sort of 'stop the world Iwant to get off'; a frustrationso much to do and,so little timeto do it; or a routelessness - asense of nothing to peg your lifeto."
What Is Special"But there are other reactions
to your Catholic education," headded, "One is an opening upof your minds-otherwise youwere cheated-, some sense ofhuman love and hate, of man'sdreams, and of the explosion ofscience and technology, and,what is special in' Catholic educ~tion, a sense of what you areand where you are going."
"Assuming your educationhas been competent, you havethe ability to obtain and performa job well," Father Hesburghsaid. "I urge your reaction tothe poverty and injustice in the'world to be that of compassion,a quality which is not difficultfor the young, who are concerned about the right thingsmuch ~ore than we were whenwe were young. This very concern has made the young so upset they have done both a lot ofsilly things and a lot of verygood things.
"You graduates will movearound a lot and will see what ishappening," he added. "I urgeyou not to forget the last fouryears and to keep your concernand compassion. But these arenot enough. The final thing youmust develop is commitment.You must be willing to be anagent of change, not just a spectator.
"You can't do everything," hecautioned, "but decide now thatwherever you are in the world,you will do something about it.Never forget what you anguishedover as a student. There is noplace you can go without findingpeople who are without humandignity." ,
"As far as change is concerned," he concluded in hiscommencement address, "youhaven't seen anything yet. Butthe meaningful things won'tchange. You have a soul, thecapacity to champion justice, to
help, and to love."Honorary Degrees
During the ceremonies FatherHesburgh was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor ofHumanities. Other honorary degrees were awarded to: PatrickEdward McCarthy, Chancellor ofthe Massachusetts Board ofHigher Education, Doctor ofHumanities; Frances Marie Burlingame of Norton, formerly ofthe Wheaton College and Stonehill faculty, Doctor of Letters;and Edward Everett Martin,businessman and former politicaladvisor, Doctor of Laws.
Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin,Bishop of Fall River presidedand delivered the invocation andthe final blessin"g.
Newly inaugurated Philip L.Hemingway, Sr. Awards for academic excellence were presentedto: Kathleen Mary Kurowski ofNew Bedford, highest rankinggraduate in liberal arts; SandraAnne Habib of Fall River, highest ranking graduate in science;and Irving Ea'rle Gitlin of Brockton, highest ranking graduate inbusiness' administration.
The first President's Awardfor outstanding service to thecollege, the Rev. George E.Benaglia Award, was awardedby Rev. Ernest Bartell, C.S.C.,Stonehill President, to Francis G.Lee, chairman of the BusinessDepartment.
Jerusalem InstituteAt a press conference prior to
the commencement exercises"Father Hesburgh explained current progress of the Institute ofAdvanced' Theological Studiesnow being constructed in Jerusalem. The Institute, a projectwhich Father Hesburgh hasheaded at the request of PopePaul VI, will house 30 prominenttheologians from throughout theworld for the purpose- of research and study toward theunity of various Christian faiths.
Following the Stonehill commencement, the Notre Damepresident flew to Rome where hemet with the Pope, and fromthere, to Jerusalem with one ofthe major donors to the Institute.
"The Institute really had its
start· in 1965 when Pope Paulasked me to conduct a study asto its feasibility," he said. "Aftertwo years of planning we negotiated for land which at thattime was part of Jordan. Whenit become part of Israel, we hadto negotiate all over again. Forthe past year, a pilot programhas been carried on, and in September the formal dedication will.take place."
"The whole point is ecumenism'a.nd this unity of the greattheological minds of the worldwill take place in probably theone place in the world it is possible-in Jerusalem," he added.
Other questions members ofpress asked Father Hesburghconcerned birth control, civilrights, authority in higher education, and involvement of theclergy in politics.
On birth control; he said: "TheChurch is not opposed to birthcontrol but to certain means.There is a problem there and itshould be solved, but abortionis a simplistic answer. It's likesaying that if there's not enoughfood for people we should cutoff their heads! I would preferto find a whole range of methodologies to control the population growth."
Chairman since 1969 and 15year member of the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights, FatherHesbilrgh feels "that in a sensethe civil rights movement isslowing down. People are wearyabout a lot of things-the war,pOllution, violence, poverty-alllinked together," he explained,"and right now it's all beingthrown under" the phony issue ofbusing which is just one ofmany means but is being emotionalized out of all proportion.

Criticize Hospitals'Employment Policy
BALTIMORE (NC)-The Baltimore Community RelationsCommission has charged that"the degree and the level of minor,ity involvement, particula,rlyof blacks, in Roman Catholichospitals is almost exactly whatit was in 1965, moderate as todegree, and almost nonexistentas to meaningful level."
The report surveyed Baltimore's Bon Secours Hospital,Mercy Hospital" St. Agnes Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospitaland the Seton Psychiatric Institute.
A staff member who wrote thereport said that there are "manyareas of Title Six (of the 1964Civil Rights Act) that are notbeing complied with."
According to the commission,the hospital survey was initiatedwhen, ·in 1970, a group of blackstold the CRC of alleged discrim- 'ination in Catholic hospitals. Thereport said that when a studyby Archdiocesan Urban Commission was not made public, theeRC began its own survey.
then it has c<>me to be sharedvery widely. Of course it is harder to maneuver, but decisionsare more widely accepted. Evensharing leadership, one can stilllead. I like it better this way."
Father Hesburgh feels that thereason members of the clergyare becoming involved in politicsis because the real problems today are morEJ problems. "Warand peace are moral, not justmilitary or ec.onomic concerns,"he said. "Civil rights is the deepest moral prohlem in the nationand for this reason a priest likeFither Drinar. has more to saythan the traditional politicianbecause he 'i:; aware of theseproblems as moral. It is an un·usual situation, but not so muchas to be out of order.
"When Pope John XXIII heldthe Council to let in some air tothe Church a:1d consequently" tothe world," Father Hesburghconcluded,. "what he got was atornado."

"Some Indians can do buckskin work, and welfare checkscan carry them on. But alcoholism is 'a problem becausethey have nothing to motivatethem. There is boredom."

On April 13, 22 years to theday after Communist agentsswooped down on houses ofpriests and monks throughoutthtl country, police completedthe forced removal of all nunsfrom parishes to farms and mental h<>spitals, where they willwork out of sight.
Word of the forced transfer ofnuns, which began about the beginning of April, arrived in RomeApril 11, two days before theremoval of nuns from the parishes was completed.
How many nuns were involvedin the police roundup is notknown here.
During the 1968 thaw inChurch-state relations underCommunist party chairman Alexander Dubcek's "Communismwith a "human face," many nunsquietly returned to parish work _I

'Altar Boys'word 'altar boy' be forgotten,"said Father Neil Collins, chairman of the organizing committee."While it is trUEJ that young boyswill continue to serve, the essential element to remember is thatit is a role which belongs just asmuch to an adult as does therole of lector or choirmaster.
"To think of serving as something for child:cen only is veryfar removed from the mind ofthe Church."

Why Is, Summer ,Special?Think about it . . . is there a special "summer spirit?" Summer
doesn't include any special religious holidays that create a wholeseasonal spirit of celebration as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lent,and Easter.
But then, summer IS special becausse EVERY DAY is special.Every day celebrates our life in Christ every day for a Christianis a new birth in Christ (Christmas); every day is an experienceof God's love in others (Easter); every day i!l a "Eucharist"(Thanksgiving).
We only need to pause and reflect on the most natural hap-. penings of our everyday lives to discover that summer does offerus countless ways to grow in Christian love, especially in themany opportunities to enjoy our families and friends; be it along-awaited vacation or a simple neighborhood cookout!
Because summer is such a beautiful season for family togetherness, we would ask you to remember in a special way
'your brothers and sisters in the missions. Specinl, because morethan at any other time of the year, the missions suffer mostduring the summer months.
The financial help missionaries so desperately depend on tocontinue serving the poor, and to help even 'morll in these criticaltimes, reaches its 'yearly low. Schools, hospital-c:linics, pastoralrelief - and development programs are affectEJd, slowed down,crippled, or forced to cease completely.
But even more than the missionaries themselves, it is themission-poor who suffer the most, especially when the onlyhope many have ever seen for their lives begbls to fade awayfor reasons they don't understand, especially those who havejust begun to grasp what it means to share in the life ofChrist • • • • to share in the Community of G<ld's People • • '.to know that life does have a meaning because others do careespecially those who have nothing of material worth but whohave learned that every day is special when lIved in the faithand love of God.
Please make this summer a very special seMon to share yourlove for God, by sharing in the work of The Society for the Propagation of the Faith, now in its 150th year of hringing that loveto others by supporting the neediest of missiona.ries.
Please send a sacrifice today for the missions because it isnot Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter in the hearts of allmen, and that makes your gift today so very llpecial.
Stress'SacrednessOf All Human Life
HARRISBURG (NC)-An abortion bill containing a declarationthat all human life is sacred hasbeen praised by the PennsylvaniaCatholic Conference as a "first"in the nation.
The bill, which would ban allabortions, says that <the staterecognizes that "all life is inviolable regardless of its age orform, whether possessed by theaged, the physically or mentallyill, the handicapped, or the unborn in the womb."
NAMED: Bishop Croninhas appointed Rev. Brian J.Harrington, chaplain at Bishop Feehan High School, Attleboro as Diocesan Moderator for the Guilds for theBlind.
CardinaI CookeOffers ProposalTo Gain Peace
NEW YORK (NC) - CardinalTerence Cooke called for peacein deploring Vietnam involvement in a letter to Religious.
"There is no doubt that onboth sides during this long andterrible war there have beentragic incidents calling for gravemoral concern," the cardinalwrote.
"The war has divided families,has destroyed friendships, hassuccessfully aborted dialogue inso many areas of American life,"he added.
"For my part, I do not thinkthat our national purpose inVietnam has all along been ignoble, selfish, and dishonorable·... Yet within the family of manall wars are to be deploredwhether they are fought for justice or ill. What is clear is thatwe must work for peace and foran end to war."
Special CommissionHe . declared that the United
Nations "is equipped to step inand find a solution" (to war)and proposed that a special commission of scholars and scientists be· established to plan forthe prevention of future wars.
Cardinal Cooke said he was"moved to speak again not justfor an end to this terrible war,but for the prevention of futurewars and for peace in the world,and to propose some positiverecommendations."
He urged nationwide prayersfor peace, and proposed that theUnited Nations step in for "impartial intervention" if the peacenegotiations in Paris should be
, frustrated.
were dispossessed, weaversstarved, famine visited the citiesand struck down Ireland. Thewhole of Europe seemed on theverge of revolution in the 1840's-the hungry Forties-and blewup in 1848..
Not PerfectBut thereafter the pressures
lessened. Vast migrations fromEurope took over all the world'stemperate areas for new, modernized farming. Forty million migrants crossed the Atlantic tonew land and jobs. The size ofthe family became more stableunder the urban influence of living and working and whendrains and clean water arrivedin the 1870's there was no sudden explosion of population.
Popular education increasedskills just as industrial technology began to need more brainsthan hands. And as machines became more productive and thepossible flow of goods increased,colonial control gave the industrial powers a whole world totrade in while welfare artd tradeunionism made for stea~ier massmarkets at home.
It was not a perfect system.Two world wars were noten~lUgh to release its tensions.Nor has U been able to give allits people a decent living or full'participation in the social order.But in some' of the attributes ofa decent society-better health,better education and opportunity,deeper human respect and equality-it has achieved standardsnever known before. And thewhite post-Christian Atlanticpeople enjoy most of them.
But suppose the chances donot work out? Suppose the sequence is different? Suppose thatthe unfolding <if recent historywhiCh gave Western man hisextraordinary and perhaps briefpredominance works for mostof the planet's other peoples inreverse, making it more difficultfor them to achieve balance intheir societi~s between population and work, between townand country, between skills andtechnology, between goods andmarkets?
Fantastic CoincidencesThis, in essence, is what has
happe.ned in the last three centuries and we cannot possiblyunderstand ,the full depth andcomplexity of the dilemmas facing nations and peoples in Asiaor Africa or Latin America unless we grasp this fundamentalfact.
What we as Westerners taketo be the basic reality of themodern world is in fact a fantastic set of historical coincidencestwisted in our favour. What wetake for granted as a birthrightor never think about at all is anarrangement of the world's resources, chances and opportunities profoundly biased in ourfavour. Unless we approach ourplanetary destiny with this basichistorical. understanding, we cannot begin to meet the Synod'schallenge "to become aware ofthe fact that in today's worldnew modes of understandinghuman dignity are "arising" and,that our Christian duty is tograsp their full extent.

- We stand at present at theending of direct political imperialism - save in the southernTurkish-speaking parts of Russia.But economic and social dominion continues-as it must when20 per cent of the world's peoples control 80 per cent of theworld's wealth.
How boring it must sound,this continued repetition of thebasic mal-distribution of theworld's wealoth, how tedious and"old hat"! We have heard it allbefore. We are sick of hearingit. .
Central PreoccupationBut at last year's Synod it
was the Bishops' central preoccupation in their discussion ofworld justice. And the reason,as we have seen is that <the division already sears its wayacross the planet, creating asort of potential internationalclass war. Worse still, the gapwidens and 10 years from now,the wealthy 20 per cent-largelythe post-Christian AtlanticStates-will be still richer, thebulk of the poor nations evenmore poor.
One reason for this deterioration is simply the fact that tostart rich, skilled and in controlof most of the levers of powertends, inevitably, in a vast competitive market - which theworld is-to give one a galloping head start. But the bishopslooked more closely at deeperreasons for the widening gulfand gave us a remarkably vividanalysis of even more rooted obstructions.
When Britain, Western Europeand America introduced themodern economy, based uponpower and metallurgy, theymade their changes in a certainsequence. This sequence was nota plan. It was a series of historical changes that came offand went on ,to reinforce eachother.
First the pioneers succeededin making farming more productive. They could then move farmworkers - and capital - to the·towns to make new machinemade industrial goods. The simple technology of the new machines needed "hands" above all,so cities and urban employment .grew more or less together. .
The uprootings were terrible.Populations and work force grewslowly as cholera and typhus didtheir deadly work. Cottagers
Explains Rapid ProgressOf Economic. System
The economic and social system within which ourplanet lives today was not "intended" by anyone. It wassmashed into shape by the enormous forces unleashed inWestern Europe between the 16th and the 20th centurythe political forces of nationalism and equality, the economic and social force of science and technology. Thesedrives of Western man ran theglobe first into almost totalcolonial dependence. Then theybegan pulling the planet asfiercely in the opposite direction.

The judge dies. The sceneshifts to the small town in Mississippi where he has spent mostof his life, and where his funeralwill take place. There a confrontation, or a number of confrontations, takes place.
The cultivated, somewhat dessicated, friends of many yearsare faced with Fay's raw, rambunctious relatives, who pile infor the occasion. Laurel and Fayclash. ,And Laurel, alone in the,old house for a couple of days,comes to grips with her ownpast, especially her .relationshipswith father and mother and theirrelationship with each other.
As always, Miss Welty writessuperbly. This isa fairly shortpiece, without a superfluousword,and marvelou's in its exploration of the mysterious human heart. It is of-ten so funnythat the reader wil:l laugh aloud;but more often it is so authentically poignant that the readerfeels a t'o\!inge of pain.
,But the question is not theperfect plausibility of.this novel'splotting. Rather, it is the, wisdomof such radical tinkering withhuman beings as is nere ,exemplified.
In an Author's Introduction,Dr. Crichton quotes James V.McConneli, of the University ofMichigan, who some years agosaid, "Look, we can do thesethings. We can control behavior.Now, who's going to decidewhat's to be done. If you don'tget busy and tell me how I'msupposed to do it, I'll make upmy own mind for you. And thenit's too late."
Is it already too late for reconsideration? Has research gone sofar, and are techniques so adyanced that there is no questioning procedures now perfectedand ready to uS,e? This novel, besides being an absorbing story,will spur any thoughtful readerto face the probability that theauthentically human can be, ,ineffect, destroyed by supposedlybeneficent mechanisms.
Optimist's Daug~ter
Worlds, even centuries, awayfrom Dr. Crichton's scene is thatof Eudora Welty, as shown onceagain in her new novel, The
'Optimist's Daughter (RandomHouse, 457 Madison Ave., NewYork, N. Y. 10022.
Early in the book we .are ina New Orleans Hospital, which,although not fully depicted, isfar different from that of theCTichton novel. It is much simpler, even old-fashioned. And thepeople, while contemporary, belong to an age immeasurably lesstechnological.
The principals are Judge Clinton McKelva, a courtly Mississipian of 71, who is operated onfor a detached retina; his widowed' daughted Laurel, in herearly faTties, who' now lives inChicago;- and his second wife,Fay, about 40, a crude and brassyignoramus from Texas.
Explores Human Heart
Once again, we have a successful operation. As the dayspass, the doctor reports fineprogress. But the judge, uncharacteristically, is languishing inspirit. He is silent, passive. Thisdisturbs his daughter, who fightsto reach, him and pull him,through. It infmiates his c,rasslyselfish wife, ~ho ,laments beingdeprived.of the fun 1n the MardiGras. ~

And science fiction deals withmore or less remote possibilities,whereas Dr. Crichton is writingabout something immediatelypossible. His subject is controlof the human brain by implantedmechanisms.
In this narrative, the brain isthat of Harry Benson, 34, a brilliant computer expert. He is alsoan epileptic who, as the result ofseizures, commits acts of violenceand has been in trouble with thepolice.
At a university hospital, aneuropsychiatric research unithas devised a method of dealingwith just such a problem. Withth,e patient's consent, an elaborate operation will be performed. This will implant 40electrodes in the brain,' a tinycomputer in the neck, and aradioactive charger in the chestcavity. The equipment, correctlyfunctioning, will stop the seizures as soon a3 they impend.
Operation Described
One member of the researchunit is opposed to the performingof this operation on Benson. Thedissident is Dr. Janet Ross, .a'psychiatrist. Her objection' .isthat, since Benson is a psychotic,the device will not cope withhis delusions.
Benson agrees to the operation. And this despite his conviction, almost obsessive, that machines are now at war with menand will soon take over absolutely. He, 'a computer expert, fearsand hates computers and even ishostile to anyone involved w:ithsophisticate::! mach!inery. StiU,he wants t·o be free of the seisures which are ruining his life.
The operation takes place. Itis described in great detail. Theultra-sensitive reader may findthis passage an upsetting experience, but it is well for all of us tobe aware of -what may be accepted practice in the near future.
The operation is asuccess, andthereafter all seems to be goingfav,orably. But then there is afaBure in ordinary communication, with disastrous' results.Benson escapes from the hospital, and the implanted devicemalfunctions. He disappears into,the sprawling city, 'and a searchfor him is mounted.

The Holy See, then, doesn't insist on a particular solution tothis much debated question aboutwhether confirmation shOUld bein the 6th grad~, during highschool, or after graduation. Instead it leaves the issue in thehands of the American Bishops'Conference.
Ordination TextsThis experimental employment
of revised texts is perhaps evenbetter exemplified by the ritesof ordination to minor orders.Once again the translation represents a first draft approvedprovisionally by our bishops.Moreover, this ritool providesfor a temporary-only administration of several rites which havebeen submitted to various na·tional conferences of bishops for'consultation. Their final disposition or eventual suppression hasyet to be determined.
Thus, Church authorities projectthe suppression of tonsure(by this rite a candidate for thepriesthood becomes a clericthrough the clipping of a lock ofhair from his head), porter, exorcist and subdeaconate. While discission continues, our own bish- ,ops asked the Holy See for permission to drop now the riteswhose suppression is. projected(except subdeaconate) and: toemploy at once the provisionaltexts of these new ceremonies..
This request has been grantedand permits bishops or their delegates to celebrate the "Admission of th~ Clerical State," "Or·dination of Readers" and the"Ordination of Acolytes."
"The Ordination· of·' Readers"has been designed for candidateswho intend to study for thepriesthood. Still, it may withminor adjustments serve the caseof laymen or ·Iaywomen who actas lectors. -

Sc:rip1tsAbbot Personally Studies, Lost 'Works
To Complete MonastelY's Hhit()ryMuseum in New York and in St.John's Seminary library, Camarillo, Calif. Abbot Ambrosiusvisited both these places and examined their manuscripts. '
Speaking in Enghsh with aheavy German accent, AbbotAmbrosius explained that themanuscripts, all hand written inLatin, contain a history of theChurch, the Cisterdan order, theliturgy and the cultl;lre of,;classictimes.
His study has been 80 thoroughthat he can now identify different hands of the scribes wholabored over the books.
One of the books Abbot Ambrosius examined lIt the WaltersGallery was not .a Himmerodmanuscript, but it wa.s a Cisterian manuscript written manycenturies ago in. one of theorder's' French monasteries.Scribes and illuminators, observing St. Bernard's stricturesagainst overly rich .decorationand fantasy, produced impressive 'and dignified volumes.
The two Himmerod volumeshoused at the Walters contain'the life of St. Bernard and thedidactic text, Spec:ulum Virgin~
um, or ','Mirror of Virgins," composed by the Ciste,rcian Conradof Hirsau.

the original Himmerod marmscripts which at one time totaled
,2,000. .In 1802-03 the renewed scrip
torium at Himmerod fell victim. to the secularization imposed up
on all monasteries on the leftban~ of the Rhine. The monksand, books were scattered toother shelter and the buildingsfell into ruin.
There was about a I20-yearlapse in activity at Himmerod asa result of the suppression, but
'restoration of the buildings began in the 1920s and the originalbaroque church was restored be-tween 1952-60. .
Abbot Ambrosius' concern forthe history of the abbey and itsbooks and manuscripts beganwhen he entered the commUnityat the age of 19. A native ofMainz of the Rhine, he pursuedstudies in medieval history atthe University of Cologne andwrote his Ph.D. dissertation onthe history of Himmerod monoastery.
He has also written additionalstudies of Himmerod's historyand has succeeded in identifying146 of the original 2,000 Hiinmerod manuscripts.
Tracing these famed manuscripts has been a difficult task,for they are scattered .over Europe and four of the books are inthe United States, two in collections at the Walters Art Galle:.-y.. The other two books in theU.S. are at the Pierpont-Morgan

And it work's. A number ofmy university colleagues (who,of course, would not ,bother to,read ,the book after the Timeshad attacked it) have' commentedto' me that it is nothing morethan a "hate the W'asps" volume.
It is nothing of t.he sort, aseven the most cursory readingwould indicate. It is basically anaccount of the difficulties, thealienation, the false. consciousness- imposed on a Catholicfrom an eastern 'European 'back-'ground who attempts to becomean intellectual in American society.
Being a native AlTlerican aristocrat and, if the truth be told,apparently not above feelingsuperior to Slavs, Wills hasnever experienced such wrenc4ing tensions. He'also obviouslythinks that the eastern andsouthern Europeans shouldquickly become like everyoneelse - by • which he means, ofcourse, to be like him. '
Someone with a less elevatedmerary reputation than Mr.Wills might run the rlsk of beingcalled a snob for holding such n' ,position.

Korean Bank NoteStirs Cor,tro.versy
SEOUL (NC) - The Bank ofKflrea's plan to issue a newIO,OOO-won note (about $30)bearing the image of Buddha hasraised Christian objections.
A Lutheran leader said thatBuddhists and Buddha himself,"who had renounced the worldand its mundane treasures"might also be offended.
Controversy over the banknote, scheduled to'be issued June1, Jncreased after an editorial inthe daily Chosun-nbo minimized
..the protests and referred to banknotes as "merely paper."
But a handful of national journals have the power to make orbreak a book, and the strongestof these journals is the book review section of the Sunday NewYork Times. Most thoughtfulreaders are persuaded - despite
r considerable evidence to the con'trary- that reviews in TheTimes are fair and balanced.
Thus the editor of the "Bo'okReview" has immense personalpower':-unchecked by any courtof appeal. If he decides to makeBoss a success, he turns it over
'for review to one of the menwhose inspiration is lavishlypraised in ,the introduction of thebook itself. And if he decides todestroy Michael Novak's TheRise of the Unmeltable Ethnic,he turns- it over to a man whohas already attacked Novak'sapproach toethnicity in the verypages of the "Book Review," .Gary Wills, the foremost Catholic practitioner of "r-adical chic."
Loaded Dice .
Let us be clear about it.· Theeditor certainly must read hisown journal. He therefore knewthat there was'not a ghost of achance of the Novak book's getting afavorable review. The dicewere loaded against Novak andthe editor knew it. Therefore, he

If this is not an' abuse ofpower, I don't know. what is.Everyone knows that this sortof thing goes on,. but most writ-

Book reviews are generally irrelevant. When theNational Catholic Reporter turns ov~r a serious research,report on the priesthood to a priest whose public presentations of the problems of the priesthood have been long onheadline grabbing phrasesand short on data, one canexpect a patronizing andtendentious review (theNCR has a limitless supply ofpatronizing clerical reviewers),and it doesn't much matter whatthe NCR reviewers say becausefew people take them very seriously.

On a more practical level,Vatican II pointed to the valueand strength of conjugal love.This love, eminently human in itsorigin, is capable of transcendingthe natural and is caught upinto 'divine love in such a waythat it is governed a1J.d enrichedby Christ's redeeming power andthe saving activity of the Church.At each step along ,the way weare continuously struck by theimplications of marriage as sacrament-proclaiming at the sametime the earthly reality of man'snoblest aspirations and the mystery of God's ·love relationshipwith man.,
In attempting to understandwhere marriage fits into God'soverall plan for mankind, theChurch needs the wisdom andinsights of married couples. Thescholars can research the knowledge ·of the past, but that infor"mation is refined in' the experience of marriage and family life.All things considered, the Churchmay well proclaim her beliefthrough the lives of marriedChristians.

Christian life.spouses, by reason of the marriage covenant, signify and partake of that unity and love thatexists between Christ and theChurch. Indeed, God made man"male and female," and established the marital community asa lasting witness to the loverelationship that he holds withHis people. Again, as God made.himself present to mankindthrough his covenant of love andfidelity in the Old Testament, sonow Christ the Lord comes intothe lives of married Christiansthrough the sacrament of matrimony.
The marriage of Christiansalso has a prophetic quality. Inthe ordinary circumstances oftheir daily lives, God's peoplegive living testimony by their,actions to the presence of Christin the world. It is in the Christian family ,that "husband andwife find their proper vocationin being witness to one anotherand to their children of faith inChrist and love for him. TheChristian family loudly proclaimsthe present virtues of the kingdom of God ·and the hope of ablessed life to come."
Just as marriage is a sign ofunity between husband and wife,it is also a sign of the union between Christ and the Church.The 'pre-eminent expression ofthe ul!ity of Christ and hispeople is the celebration e)f the 'Eucharist in which, as St. Paulexplains, "Because the bread isone, we, though many, are onebodY,all of us who partake ofthe one bread." Marriage andthe Eucharist have this in commoil then, that each in a specialway proclaims a unity betweenChrist and his people.

Christian spouses, by virtue ofthe marriage sacrament, aresingled out as recipients of spe-cial gifts of the Holy Spirit.These gifts, usuaHy quite ordinary, are given to various members of God's people to makethem fit and ready to play their

Father Peyton, Sees Renewal Of Devotiorl t,o Blessied· VirginALBANY (NC) - Devotion to
the Blessed VJrgm is reappearing"after a long eclipse," saysFather Patrick Peyton. and thefamed. priest is working hard tohasten the renewal of Marian devotions.'-Father Peyton, director of the
Family Rosary Crusade and theCrusade for Family Prayer, toldthe Evangelist, 'diocesan paperhere, that he sees devotion tothe Mother of Jesus "comingback like never before. And I amnot just whistling.in the dark."
The Holy Crl)ss pr.iest com-
pared the present situation to aneclipse. "During the' eclipsethings are darkest, but when the.sun returns. it is brighter. than'ever by contrast."
The globe-trotting priest. whojust returned from a month-long, .world-wide trip, said "the signsare evident all over the worldthat devotion to Mary is comingback. Seminarians are returningto being men of gTeat prayer;people are realizing that. Mary isnot luxury but a necessity in ourgrowth."
Father Peyton plans in the
near' future ,to concentrate hisefforts in ,the United States.
Eight-Day Crusade"My goal is to put a perma
nent team of two men in eachof the 12 ecclesiastical regionsin this country. One of the men,I insist. must be a specialist inworking with youth."
Fa.the·r Peyton and his staffhave been perfecting an eightday crusade which makes use of15 half-hour films dramatizing
. the mysteries of the Rosary. Theorusade. recently held in Quada-
Ilajara. Mexico, attracted almosthalf a :million people every evening•.he said.
Family Prayer
Father Peyton said that the'films bring ,me message to everyone-"the poor and unchurchedas well." In Mexico over 15 tonsof equipment was \JIsed, including over 200 projectors.
"We were like Barnum andBailey.·.· Father P,eyton noted:
Besid'es the films, the tech.nique involves explicitly written
pamphlets explaining how themessage of the importance ofprayer can be made.
"We make use of billboards,pamphlets, TV and the pressall toward one point. the valueof prayer in the family." FatherPeyton said. . .
The priest, who still speaks_with 'his native Irish brogue,
feels strongly that ",this is themoment of prayer. The' firstsmall step in getttmg people topray as a family. That is a step.toward socia'! justice and personal fulfillment."
