Liturgical WeekAt Cranwerl

Pie said "various forms of aidto children"-like tuition grants,tax credit$,.. vouchers and otherprograms - "show the mostpromise for a fair legal andworkaple solution to the press­ing problem of freedom of edu­cation in America."

"In these days of inflation andever-rising costs," the CEF lead­er said, "there is no freedom forthe poor without aid from thewhole community. Unless everyman is free, no man is free.

"We tried government aid toschools. It proved to be a shakyreed. The high court has cut itdown. Community aid to parentsand to children is a powerfuland necessary support for free­dom. Let the people build onthat now."

, Th'c' Rev. Dr. James T. Burt·chaell, C.S.C., Provost of theUniversity 'of' Notre Dame, willbe the' keynote' speaker at the1971 Liturgical Week sponsoredby the New England LiturgicalCommittee.

plishments had been gainedeither by past slogans for daysof peace or by the work of thepeace and justice commission,the bishop s~id: "The pontificalcommission by its very natureis not an 'action' organization.It exists to motivate people toact. It would be easier to donothing, to say that one personcannot accomplish this miracleof peace and justice. A~parently

the Pope does not believe this,because he incessantly calls' fordevelopment in -any country andfor any man. The Pope believesthat one man can do something.That is why he urges you: Ifyou want peace, work for jus­tice"

DecisionParent

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Therecent U. S. Supreme Court de­cision barring two state aid pro·grams benefiting nonpublicschools may be a "shot-in-the­arm" to parents' rights accordingto an official of a national groupbacking freedom of choice ineducation

"On the surface, the (SupremeCourt) decisions seem to be bodyblows to freedom," said "JamesL. J. Pie, national president ofCitizens for Educational Free­dom (CEF). "But this may be ashortsighted view."

Pie, an attorney and deputy

city solicitor in Philadelphia,also prepared the city's briefsupporting Pennsylvania's ;'pur.chase-of-services" law - one ofthe two aid programs struckdown by the court on June 28.The court also outlawed RhodeIsland's state aid for salary sup­plements to nonpublic schoolteachers.

He said the court "rejected. amethod-it has not destroyed anidea."

"Up to now, the spotlightmight have been on aid toschools," he continued. "Nowthe whole country must turn itsattention to the real question­aid to parents and aid to chilodren."

Day of Peace will benefit fromdeliberations of the Synod andwill help put into practice therecommendations of the Synod.

The theme of working forjustice was chosen by the Popefrom among a number offeredhim by the peace and justice'commission, Bishop Torrellasaid. The Pope's selection, hesaid, was in line with his inter­ventions for peace throughouthis pontificate.

"If you think of Pope Paul'sreign, you see that his workis mainly concerned with the(Second Vatican) Council, itsimplementation and peace," thebishop said.

-VATICAN CITY (NC) - "Ifyou want peace, work for jus­tice" is the simple theme forPope Paul's fifth annual WorldDay of Peace, set for next Jan. 1.

Bishop Ramon Torrella Cas­cante, vice-president of the Pon­tifical Commission on Justiceand Peace, told a news confer­ence at. the Vatican that al­though the actual papal messageis not yet released, it will em­phasize a point on which thesurvival of mankind depends: thelink between justice and peace.

"There is no u'se in speakingof a peace not based on justice,or of a kind of peace in a timewhen there is the absence ofwar but there is no genuinepeace, or of a peace in whichthere is only a truce betweencombatants," the bishop said.

"Instead, the Pope intends tosay that the basis of peace isconcord. It is love. There is nojustice without love; and love isthe interior force of justice."

The Spanish bishop explainedthat the theme of justice wasreleased well in advance thisyear because the topic of worldjustice will be discussed at theFall session of the' Synod ofBishops. He said that the World

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Tworeligious communities represent­ing over two-thirds of the teach­ing Sisters in the Philadelphiaarchdiocese have offered to giveup 20 percent salary increasesbecause of the recent U.S. Su­preme Court action nullifying astate school aid program.

The high court ruled June 28that a Pennsylvania purchase-of­secular-services law and a RhodeIsland nonpublic teacher salarysupplement law were unconstitu­tional. The Pennsylvania aid planwould have meant $8.9 million

I first went to Japan in' 1938there was great hostility to th~'

Concern About Abortion

"Since the ~nd of the war,though, Christianity has grownsteadily. In fact,the attitudetoward . Christians and Chris­tianity ,has changed to the pointthat if two people apply fora job in Japan and one is aChristian, the other non-Chris­tian, the Christian will get thejob every time. Why? The Chris­tian is thought to be a betterperson. It has to do with theimproved feeling for the UnitedStates." .

Father Spae said Japan is go­ing through a change of attitudetoward abortion. It has alwaysbeen legal in' Japan but peopleare now having second thoughts,he said'J

"Today I would say that theJapanese are thinking of doingaway with abortion, or at leasttightening up the law. Underthe present law there are esti­mated to be up to two millionabortions a year in Japan. Thenumber has gotten so high thatthere is great, concern about itamong the leaders."

Bishop Cheng said commu­nism in China is "very dIfferentfrom communism in Poland orHungary. In those countriescommunism has let religionexist. But in China there arethree million Catholics withoutMass, without- priests.

Miserable Life

"I have received a communi­cation from within China froma priest I knew. He has been 20years in a labor camp. He saidhe was leading a miserable life.'Pray for me and for the Cath­olics,' the priest wrote." .

LOS ANGELES (NC)-The or­dinary people of Asia cannotunderstand why after eight yearsthe United States has not beenable to win its millon-dollar-a­day war against communism inVietnam, according to BishopJoseph Cheng, O.P., of Kaoh­siung, on the southern tip ofTaiwan.

"Withdrawal from Vietnam'will mean that the people inAsia will lose faith in the UnitedStates," the Chinese bishop saidhere in an interview.

"Only force is effective withthe communists," the bishopsaid. "How many years haveyou been talking with them inParis, spending money to keep astaff in an expensive hotel? Andthe communists laugh at you."

The sentiment in Taiwan, saidthe bishop, "is for the U. S. towin the war"

'No Compromise'His opinion is that Vietnam

cannot be settled because ofcommunist China. New diplo­matic developments in regard tomainland China and America arenot popular in Taiwan.

Salary CutContinued from Page One

Immaculate Heart of Mary; andMother Alice Anita, superiorgeneral of the Sisters of St. Jo­seph, said their teaching Sistersin the Philadelphia archdiocesewanted' to sacrifice their salaryincreases for the 1970-71 schoolyear, due to the court-inflictedfinancial crisis.

The two orders have 1,160 Sis­ters teaching in archdiocesan ele­mentary and secondary schools.Their increased salaries would be$2400 next year.

The two superiors said theirSisters made the decision "inconsultation with their generalcouncils." Their offer was made"in public witness to their en­during dedication to Catholiceducation," and expresses "theirwillingness as persons bound bythe vow of poverty to be, as theChurch asks, poor in fact aswell as in spirit," the superiorssaid.

In a July 9 reply, CardinalKrol said h,e, was "deeplymoved" by the Sisters' offer, butneither. olccepted nor rejected it.

Bill IntroducedBy Ind ia Leader

NEW DELHI (NC)-A bill toban the religious conversion ofminors and to make other con­versions subject to permissionfrom the local magistrate wasintroduced into the Indian parlia:.ment here.

Introduced by Jagannath RaoJoshi, leader of the anti-mission­ary Jan Sangh party, the bill pro-

- vides for imprisonment up to fiveyears or fines up to $1,300, orboth, for those who convert orassist in converting a minor.Similar billls outlawing "forcedconversions" and the conversionof minors have been enacted inthe past by several state govern­ments in India.

When such a law was enactedin Madhya Pradesh state in 1968,there were fears of possible ha­rassment of missionaries who areunable, for conscientious reasons,to comply with the requirementthat every conversion be report­ed to the district magistrate bythe officiating minister forpolice investigation.

In 1970, however, ArchbishopEugene D'Souza of Bhopal saidthe Church had "no trouble" upto that time from the law. Hesaid the work of evangelizationhad continued and "we have nev­er been challenged."

He urged all Catholics "toread and reflect upon" a pas­toral letter issued in May bythe bishops of Boston provinceon, the morality of war. "We in·tended the letter," the archbish­op said in a statement read atall Masses throughout the arch­diocese, ,"to be used by Cath­olics to form their own consci­ences about the war."

He indicatesone after another tragic paradoxin the situation between Israelisand Arabs. I

Most of his book is given toan examination of the Israelis,and especially the difference be­-tween the pioneers born in East­ern Europe and the youngergenerations born in Israel. Thecontrast is many-faceted, oftensharp, alwaysl signifieant.

Oldsters Conservative

The old still have a monop­oly of government positions andpower. They constitute an estab­lishment, indeed a mandarin' es­tablishment, which their juniors,until now vainly, would like tosee replaced.

As has repeatedly happenedin history, the old:;ters, whowere revolutionaries in theirearly days, are now very con­servative and critical of the new­fangled notions of the risinggeneration, which, in turn, is for­getful of the past.

Israel, Mr. Elon notes, is anation which, throughout its ex­istence, has been at war or semi­war. It lives' in constant danger.It is haunted by HUer's mas­sacre of 6,000,000 Jews. Sadnessand pessimism are character­istic qualities.

Yet, rightly, there is a vibrantsense of achievement. Anyonewho has visited the country has

, seen ample evidence that this iswell warranted. Barren acreshave been made green and fer­tile. A denuded landscape hasbeen reforested. There are ma­jor feats of engineering, a swiftgrowth of industry, the agricUl­tural and social accomplishmentsof the kibbutzim, a working dem­ocratic system, and the absenceof militarism despite the con­tinuous, necessity of being un­der arms.

Amos Elon Views 'Critiical~y

Countr'y,' Peop'le of, Israe~Israel is one of the smallest of nations, and one of

the youngest. Not yet 25 years old, its Jewish populationn'umbers two and a half million. Yet it is in the news f~r

more, and far more prominently, than any nation of com­parable size and age, and itsfate may determine whetherthere will be another worldw<;lr. How 'much do most ofus know' of Israel and the Isra­elis? Pro~ably very little.

Amos Elon tells us a greatdeal about them in his' bookThe Israelis (Holt, Rinehart andWinston, 383 'Madison Ave"New 'York, N.Y. 10017. $10).He offers copious facts and fig-

,ures, but his chief purpose isportraiture and interpretation.He reviews the proc'ess by whicha Jewish homeland was, in thepast 100 years, gradually re­stored, after centuries in whichnone existed.

In 'the third quarter of thenineteenth century' there weresome Jews living in Palestine,but they were quite few. Thencam~ the almost imperceptiblebeginnings of a return, mostlyfrom Russia 'and other parts ofEastern Europe.

Wr,ves of ImmigrationIn those areas, there were

large numbers of Jews. Theywere cruelly discriminatedagainst, and occasionally weresubjected to murderous pogroms.Zionism drew the interest ofthese persecuted pepole, and atrickle of emigration started inthe 1880s.

Palestine was then a part ofthe Turkish empire. The Jewswho removed (0 it managed tobuy land. It was by no meansthe best land available, but theyworked it zealously and improv­ed it signally:

A second surge occurred afterthe attempted revolution in Rus­sia in 1905, and already in 1908the first kibbutz or communalfarming venture was establish­ed. A third wave of immigra­tion in the Holy Land lastedfrom 1919 to 1924, and a fourthand a fifth took place in the1920s 'and th'e 1930s.

Hitler's RiseIt was never anticipated that

there would be conflict with theArabs. Palestine was thought ofas a virtually empty land, andArab nationalism (in response to'Turkish tyranny) was as new aphenomenon as Zionism. Mr.Elon says ,that the Jewish new·comers were simply blind to the

. Arabs' ,interest in Palestine.What really fired' Jewish de­

termination that a Jewish statemust come into being i~ Pales­tine was Hitler's rise and his re­solve to exterminate the Jews.There must be a place of refuge,a place where Jews would be­long and which they could calltheir own.

Urges ReturnTo Tradition

EAST ROCKAWAY (NC)-In1965, Ray Gimmler, a New YorkCity fireman for 24 years, be­came concerned with what hecalls communist-led anti-wardemonstrations, an especiallypermissive news media run bythe "so-called New Left," ul­tra-liberal parents preachingliberalism to their children andthe general demise of good oldAmerican patriotism.

Ordinations in CubaROME (NC)-Fifteen semina­

rians from five of the six di­oceses in Cuba were ordained inthe first three months of 1971,according to International FidesAgency, a news service spon­sored by the Congregation forthe' Evangelization of Peoples.

Determined to counteract theresulting impression that thiscountry is "bad and evil," Gimm­Icr since then has led a, seriesof parades and demonstrationson Long Island to show "thatgenerally this is the greatestand most. generous nation in thehistory of the world."

Mustering the help of his lo­cal American Legion Post,Gimmler organized a "Supportour Boys in Viet Nam" Paradein 1967 with an army of LongIslanders supported by "$5and $10 donations from the littlepeople here and there."

Since then a series of. otherprojects have emerged includingthe National Commission for Re­sponsible Patriotism, the HonorAmerica Committee, the POWCommittee and Save the Pueblo.And for every peace demonstra­tion on the South shore ofLong Island since 1965, Gimm­ler has led a counter-demonstra­tion which he says has doubledor tripled the ranks of theothers.

Even the church has been vic­timized by the onset of liberal­ism. Gimmler says he has triedhis best to go along with the"liturgy, shaking hands and thewhole bit" but says it has weak­ened .the church. In an interviewwith The Long Island Catholiche said: "The complete relaxa­tion of rules hasn't preventedsin; its given sin credentials.Fear is removed-fear of God,fear of punishment."

Often .they are selfish, arro­gant and disdainful of the rightsof others.

Church men and womenshould speak out forthrightly forwhat is right, good and noble.The voice of the church is apowerful and meaningful voice-and it should ring forth loudlyand clearly on behalf of thosemoral principles, which under­lie our society.

Too frequently today Chris­tians are silent in the midst ofinjustice when the law is vio­lated. Too frequently Christiansare not ready to do their shareas citizens.

Christians have an obligation,both individually and throughtheir churches, to stand up forfreedom, the dignity of the in­dividual, and those moral prin­ciples which alone make lifeworth living.

As well as meeting Cardinal,Angelo Rossi, prefect of theCongregation for EvangelizingNations, the 80-year-old bishopalso met Cardinal John Wright,former bishop of Pittsburgh whois prefect of the Clergy Congre­gation.

Bishop Walsh, who spent 10years in a Shanghai prison undersentence for "espionage," wason his way to meet fellowMaryknollers in Kenya and Tan­zania. The new generation ofmissioners had never met theone-time superior general of theirorder, who had last been in the

"Religious share the commondread of aging and their prob­lems are further compounded bylife styles traditionally dedicatedto service until death," SisterMarie Gaffney told more than200 nuns, Brothers and priestsat the workshop co-sponsoredby the National Conference ofCatholic Charities and Georgc­town University.

Sister Gaffney, a Missionaryof the Most Blessed Trinity,workshop coordinator and staffconsultant to Catholic Charities'conference on aging, said "thecessation of one's lifetime apos­tolic wor~ is dismaying."

"You know," said Sister ofSt. Joseph Marion Gundell ofRochester, N.Y., "we think wehave to die with our boots on."

"The retired Sister needsfirst to learn to relax," SisterMaria Virgo Schemanske, a Ser­vant of the Immaculate Heartof Mary, told a' discussion groupat the workshop. A Sister "needsto enjoy leisure wi.thout feeling ,guilty," she added.

The society's semiautonomousshops in other large cities areexpected to follow suit.

Thomas Rittner, the' society'sgeneral secretary, said: "It doesnot come within the objects ofthe' CTS, which is to spread aknowledge of the Catholic faith ..The decision is not an unusualone. We are all the time decid­ing what books to sell and whatnot to."·

The society's main activity is.:publishing five-and ten-centpaper back leaflets and pam"phlets on Catholicism and Cath­olic matters. About 2.5 million- ofthese are sold a year, throughthe mail or parish churches

Churches of all denominationsmust begin to realize this changein the mores of America.

.of horror anp di~may as every pleasant and sunny week­end is followed by a tragic newspaper report of accidentsand. deaths on the road and in the water.

It is all very .well for those not immediately ;:nvolved'to say that accidents will happen. But there is a humanelement involved. .

Every person driving an automobile must be e~:pecially

aware that an accident can happen to him,at any moment.Children, riders on bicycles, motor bikes-all must be ex­pected ,to do the unexpected at any moment. .

No one. sets out to -hurt himself or another,. But- alJloment 'of carelessness, of taking a' chance, of drivingwhen' he should not drive, and one can bring ahout anirreversible tragedy.

Water safety is another aspect of Summer that cannotbe disregarded. The multiplication of boats has broughtwith it the multiplication of dangers and added safety risks.

Summer is awonderful time to enjoy all that naturehas provided for wholesome' and healthy'recre~ti()n. Butthe first condition of enjoying it is to live....:.. and to letothers live.

Familiar Words"Children now love luxury, have bad manners, con­

tempt for au.thority, show disrespect for elders, and loveto chatter in place of exercise.. Children are now tyrantsand not slaves of the household. They no longer rise whenan elder enters the room, they contradict thei r parents,chatter before company, gobble up the food at the table,cross their-legs, and tyrannize their teachers.".' -

The words have a familiar ring. They coulel be takenfrom any article on jtiyenile delinquency. They could befrom any sociological report on home and family or theschool. They could be the verbatim record of the outpour-.ings of an irate father or mother. No reader of today'snewspaper would be at all surprised at 'reading them. asthe comments ·of· a contemporary speaker.

The fact is that these words are a direct quotationof the -Athenial philosoph~r Socrates and were written by·

- him some twenty-four hundred years ago.All of which shows that children have not changed

too much 'over the centuries, or else their parents' criti­cism qf them tends to run along' the same lines.

Successful ProgramsPromoter. Says Sacred Heart Devotion

IOn the Rise l

CINCINNATI (NC)-Bad newsis plentiful, Father Eugene Mur­phy admits, but there is one im­portant piece .of good newswhich he is ready to share withanyone who will listen. •

"Devotion to the SacredHeart is on the rise," the white­haired, amiable Jesuit said here.

What's more, the Sacred Heartprogram he launched in 1939 isalive and flourishing, reachingmore than five million personsweekly through about 770 radiostations and 200 television sta­tions on five continents.

Father Murphy, who was inCincinnati to conduct a retreat,has been actively promoting theApostleship of Prayer and devo­tion to the Sacred Heart formore than three decades.

The 15-minute and half-hourSacred Heart programs includethe Apostleship's daily offering,a talk by one of the program's36 speakers ("all of the highestquality," said Father Murphy),music and "very reverentprayer."

"Our library of recorded reli­gious music must be. one of thefinest in the worl'd," he said,pointing out that it includes thework of the Little Singers ofParis, the Vierma Boys Choir,the Wagner Chorale, Waring'sPennsylvanians and "Cincinnati'sexcellent Bonaventura Choir."

Expression of LoveTo the Denver-born Jesuit,

who often has been told that"devotion" in an "old-fashioned"term, the steady progress of theprogram tells him somethingelse. "It has a distinctive decep-

the French for 40 years 'and wasso much the acknowledged lead­ers of the resistance that in 1946the French negotiated with himin Fontainebleau for months onend.

Unhappily, French settler in­terests were so strong thatthese talks' were broken off,and the playboy Emperor ofVietnam, Bao Dai, was sentback to Saigon as a French pup­pet.

Kept on Coming

Saigon has never recoveredfrom its weak and unrepresent­ative governments, which haveseen to it that no fair localelection ever took place. Mean­while, in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minhcontinued what for him was stilla war of colonial liberation, firstfrom the French, then from theAmericans and, as Mr. McNa­mara himself remarks, in thereport, nothing seemed to checkthe enthusiasm of the NorthVietnamese for him and for hisstruggle.

However, many thousandswere bombed or killed, theykept on coming. Thus thestrength of the North and theweakness of the South suckedthe honest but mistaken Amer­icans further into the ·bog.

How, today, are they to with­draw with .minimum damageboth to themselves and to thehonorable cause of self-deter­mination which they believedthemselves to be upholding?

Simply to fix dates of with­drawal could end in a shambleslike Dunkirk but without thedignity. Only one really relevantproposal has been put forwardand that is the .resolution 'pro­posed in the Senate by SenatorAdlai Stevenson IU, which so farhas unfortunately not securedthe support of more than 36 sen·ators. But it goes to the rootsof the problem and suggesteda way out.

Resp,onsible Exit

. The resolution asks that. theCongress send out a Commis­sion to South Vietnam beforethe forthcoming Presidentialelections to make sure that themaximum number of SouthVietnamese voters realize thatAmerica is not 'cort:Imitted toPresident Thieu and to continuedwar.

This demonstration could givethe .voters the courage to votefor peace candidates like Gener­al Minh, who would head a gov­ernment ready for orderly ne­gotiations with Hanoi.

The rigged election laws atpresent mean that the Presi­dential elections will be a farce.But a serious American Congres­sional. presence demonstratingAmerica's commitment not tohelp fix the elections, might letgenuine self - determinationemerge. And, after 30 years andmore of weary war, a greatmajority of South Vietnameseat least deserve the chance tovote for peace.

Such a vote ~ould ensureAmerica a responsible exit.

ernment blundering from stepto step into the fatal morass be­cause the side it was trying todefend was too weak, and theside it was trying to restrainwas too strong.

Policy Worked in Korea

This is not however a dis­honorable mistake. One can onlyrepeat. Without the Americanmilitary counterweight in Eu­rope in the late 1940s and early1950s-the so-called policy ofcontainment-it is perfectly pos­sible that the Russians mighthave been tempted into furth­er strong-arm methods of thekind they applied in Prague in1948 and repeated in 1968. Ber­lin was very tempting and theybeseiged it in 1947-48. Only alarge American-backed airliftpersuaded the" Russians to re­treat.

It was,' therefore, not illogicalto apply the same policy in Asiawhen in 1950, the North Koreansopenly attacked South Korea.Again, the policy worked. SouthKorea, which had no desire tobe run from Pyongyang, sur­vived the onslaught.

So why should the same pol·icy not work in South Vietnam?Was it not the same case-aCommunist takeover of an un­willing neighbor backed by ex·ternal Russian a'nd Chinese aid?Had not America the duty to seethat the South Vietnamese wereleft secure in their right of self·determination?

Tragically, for America, thecases were not the same. In thefirst place, earlier colonial con·trol in Korea had been exer­cised by Japan whom Americahad just defeated. White andBlack American troops could notpossibly be supposed to be al­lies and successors of the oldyellow conquerors. In Vietnam,it was. the French who were

.giving up, very unwillingly, theircolonial stakes. It was easy tosee in their friends, the Amer­icans, not deliverers but "moreof the same."

This difficulty was com­pounded by a second. In Korea,the whole fight for liberationhad been symbolized by theSouthern leader, SynghmanRhee. In Vietnam, on the con­trary, Ho Chi Minh had fought

At ,the same time, he hasfound, people still want to hearScripture and the truths of faith.

When he himself was one ofthe young people he was playingroles in such classic films as"David Copperfield," "OliverTwist," and "Of Human Bond­age."

GENEVA (NC)-The ecumen­ical movement "has slowed downconsiderably," according to aRoman Catholic priest who hasbeen very a,ctlve in the move­ment.

The priest, Jesuit FatherGeorge Dunne from St. Louis,Mo., general secretary of the

"Following Vatican II andother Vatican documents on ecu­menism, there was a greatsplurge of enthusiasm for unity.'But I think that in other circlesin Rome-and' I think :in somethere never was much enthusi­asm-there is much les:; enthu­siasm now.

"That does not mean it istotally dead."

Father Dunne said he con­siders his present job proof thatthe Vatican is still basically sup­porting SODEPAX.

existence, Father Dunne wasSODEPAX. A quite unique mo­ment," he said, "since it was thefirst time since the 'Reformationover 400 years ago that theCatholic Church had joined theProtestant and the Orthodox."

The first mandate for threeyears and money, $20,0.00, camefrom' the Pontifical Commissionon Justice and Peace and was

Improve Services

Much of the leadership pro-'gram remains to be outlined be-"fore its implementation in lateFall, said Sister: Maurita, whoworks at CHA headquarters in'St. Louis. As of now, she ex­plained, one of CHA's primary'objectives in administerirlg the'program will be to identify cri­teria for excellence in all a.spectsof health care which can be ap­plied on a tailormade ba sis tospecific institutions.

In some cases, she said, CHAadvice may lead to a rel.igiouscongregati9n's phasing out ofhealth care service complet,~ly. Inothers, it may mean merg€'r, butin any event CHA will stress theneed for greater cooperationthan ever before between reli­gious communities, dioces,~s of­fering health care services andprivate and public hospitals inlocal areas.

The broad aim, of the Il~ader·

ship program is to assist healthcare management and r,~latedpersonnel update and improveits services, both medically' andmorally, to the consumer.

The plan, called CatholicHealth Services Leadership Pro~

gram, was launched at the 56thannual 'meeting of The CatholicHospital Association. It is in­tended to maximize the strengthsand resources of the religiouscongregations that run Catholichospitals across the country sothat, in turn, they can providehigher quality and more efficientcare to the sick without largeoutlays of additional cash.

As CHA executive directorMercy Sister Mary Maurita de­scribed the new program, it willfunction somewhat as a guidancecounselor to any of CHA's nearly900 health care facility membersseeking its advice.

A survey among CHA mem­bers revealed that reaction tothe leadership program "wasoverwhelmingly positive withonly eight of 425 respondentsindicating that it was not neces­sary," Sister Maurita. said. Over75 per cent, she added said sucha program was impertive orbadly needed.

Anglican BishopsScore TelecastOn Church'

LONDON (NC)-"-A recent Brit­ish Broadcasting Corporation pro­gram showing small Church ofEngland congregations has beenattacked by two Anglican bish­ops.

Anglican Bishop Robert Stop­ford of London, said: "Just asyou can prove almost anythingby statistics, so in television andradio you can create almost anyimpression by the material youselect. This program was slant­ed in such a way as to conveythe Church of England as awhole."

The program must have indi­cated to many viewers that theChurch is dead or dying, Bish­op Stopford said in a sermon atSt. Paul's Cathedral.

"There are indeed congrega­tions as small as were portrayedbut there are many churches inthis diocese, as in others, wherethere are large numbers of com­municants on an ordinary Sun-

o day morning and many congre­gations which have a flourishinglife of worship and service."

He said he believes people willsoon turn away from the bore­dom of permissive society andthat the second half of this cen­tury may be an age of religion.

Untypical of CountryThe program was also strongly

criticized' by the Bishop GeraldEllison of Chester for what hecalled its lack of objectivity and"wholly defeatist and condemn­atory" attitude.

Bishop Ellison, who appearedbriefly in the program, said itseemed as if its planners had de­cided that, whatever the evidenceto the contrary, the Church is in­effective. ludicrous, effete, andmoribund. "So they set aboutgathering material to this end."

He added that the commentsand illustrations ih the programwere drawn aimost wholly fromthe Southwark diocese in SouthLondon, where, he said, specialproblems make it untypical of thecountry as whole.

Entitled to Whole TruthAfter being shown a church

where the curate rOan a youthclub, television viewers were toldit was exceptional and that "halfa mile down the road is some­thing much m.ore typical: ChristChurch, Brixton-grUbby, mourn­ful, decaying, a fitting home forlost causes."

The program's reporting team,said Bishop Ellison, visited noneof the flourishing, vogorous 'par­ishes in Southwark or elsewhere."It mentioned none of the far­reaching reforms in Church life,"he said.

The program has caused angerand distress, the bishop said, IlQtbecause it was telling a fewhome truths but because it wasnot telling the whole truth. "Andthat is something to which weare all entitled."

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-Dur­ing the football season, 212­pound Calvin Hill catches passesand lunges his way past foes onthe gridiron green.

But off season, the 24-year-oldblack player for the championDallas Cowboys attends theo­logical school and raps with un­derprivileged youngsters in Dal­las, New York and here.

With the financial backing andgood wishes of a soft drink com­pany, Hill jets around the coun­try trying to convince kids-es­pecially minority children - toaccept challenges and strive forgoals.

"I tell them there isn't thatmuch difference between thepeople who succeed and thepeople who' don't," said Hill, the1969 Rookie of the Year in theNational Football League. "Themain difference is the peoplewho do succeed manage to 'seizethe time,' as Bobby Seale put it."

Professors SeeFrei ReturningTo Presidency

NOTRE DAME (NC) - Presi­ident Eduardo Frei of Chile, aChristian Democrat, could againhead that country if the presentsocialist government preservesits electoral system, two politicalscientists said here.

"There seems little doubt thatFrei's chances to win the presi­dential election in !976 aregreat," wrote Drs. Michael J.Francis and Hernan Vera-Godoyin "The Review of Politics," pub­lished quarterly by Notre DameUniversity.

Both writers, co-authors of thebook "Chile: Christian Democ­racy to Marxism," teach atNotre Dame.

The professors said they weresurprised that' Chileans rejectedFrei's party in the last generalelection after his administrationclaimed it was a model for re­form in Latin America.

The professors cited as theadministration's achievements:Chilean co-ownership withAmerican corporations of coppermines, and progress in educa­tion, housing and agriculture,and a land reform benefiting28,000 families without decreas­ing the over all agricultural pro­duction.

Frei was elected in the 1964elections by 56 per cent of thevote. Chilean law prevents apresident succeeding himself.But Frei would be an eligiblecandidate in 1976._

Last October a socialist coali­tion headed by Salvador Allendecame to power after wirining36.3 per cent of the vote. Therest of the electorate was dividedbetween rightists, moderates andother leftists., Francis and Vera-Godoy spec­ulated that the Allende govern­ment may take one of threecourses: a military coup to retainpower, totalitarianism, or con­tinued reliance - on the demo­cratic process.

The professors' assertion thatFrei could win in 1976 comesfrom their belief that Allendewill most likely follow the demo­cratic process.

'~The impulse to judgment is'strong," they conclude, "as thefuror over the Pentagon papershas made plain. Yet·unless thatimpulse is tempered by reason,the time of accounting' mayprove a tragic aftermath to a

gest, that one way of tempering"by reason" this potentially de­structive "impulse to judgment"is to try, to force ourselves torealize' that the principal play­ers in the Vietnam drama were-at least according to their ownlights-honest ' and' conscien­tious public servants trying todo their job as' well as theycould.

But if they were honest men,the editors point out, "theywere limited men as well. Theyserved the orthodoxies of theirera and waged their war ac-

,cordingly. Their failure was thatwhile they 'did a great deal ofsoul-searching, they did not fi­nally question its orthodoxies."

Church ExampleOf Cooperation

NYBORG (NC) - Europeanchurches should set an exampleof "coexistence, mutual ~elation­

ships and cooperation," an EastGerman churchman told the380 delegates at a meeting ofthe Conference of EuropeanChurches held here in Denmark.

In his keynote address, "Ser­vants of God, Servants of Men,"Lutheran Bishop Werner Kruscheof Magdeburg, in East Germany,set the theme for the meeting ofProtestant, Anglican, Orthodoxand Old Catholic Church dele­gates from throughout Europe.Every East European countryexcept Albania was representedat the meeting.

Although the Roman CatholicChurch is not a member of theconference, it was represented

, by five delegates.Stressing that. relations be­

tween Catholics and the memberchurches of the CEC have im­proved considerably in recentyears, the meeting agreed thatboth have been led "to a deep­er awareness of their commonresponsibilities in the service of,God and men."

ernment. "There is now a per­vasive feeling in the countrythat the social order somehowhas gotten out of balance, andthat greater affluence amid adeteriorating envirom:nent andcommunity life does not makemuch sense,"

If businesses don't volunteerhelp now, the government mayforce the issue later. "Experi­ence with governmental and so­cial constraints' indicates thatthe corporation's self-interest isbest served by (taking) neededaction ahead of a confronta­tion."

There may be immediateprofits in running social pro­grams if the government canbe convinced to continue "pri­vatizing the public sector"­turning over existing socialprograms to business-with di­rect cash subsidies and cash in­centives written into govern-ment contrl,l.cts. '

Increase ContributionsCompletely open scrutiny

and regulation by the publicand the legislature, the state­ment said, are needed, to "mini­mize the risk of a social-indus­tri,,1 couple developing alonglines of the so-called military­industrial complex."

But corporations can startgetting more deeply involvedin social problems without gov­ernment backing,' the statementpointed out. Among' the wayssuggested:

Increase contributions tocharitable and eduactional in­stitutions, which now amountto less than 1 percent of totalcorporatepre.-tax income..

Form more 'cooperative, mul­tiple-business programs, whichmay solve an area's social prob­lem while minimizing "competi­tive cost disadvantages,"

Encourage employees andmanagers to apply their skillsto social as well as businessmatters. This should be "widelyand explicitly recognized as anormal, rather than extracurric­ular, part of managerial respon­sibilities. "

Business LeadersPrograms Mean

NEW YORK (NC)-A healthysociety means better business,said Franklin D. Roosevelt as hekicked off his "New Deal" in1932.

Today, 200 business and uni­versity presidents are sayingthe same thing.

In a 74-page statement en­titled "The Social Responsibil­ities of Business Corporations,"the reasearch and policy de­partment of the Committee forEconomic Development said:

"There is broad recognition to­day that corporate self-interestis inexorably involved in thewell-being of the society ofwhich business is an integralpart, and from which it drawsthe basic requirements neededfor it to function at all,.--cap­ital, labor, customers. And ithas become clear that the es­sential resources and goodwillof society . . . must be workedfor and developed."

The CED describes itself as"a nonprofit, nonpartisan andnon-political" research and ed­ucational organization. Its mem­bers commission studies andrecommend policies designed to"promote stable' economicgrowth with rising living stan­dards and increasing opportu­nities for all."

Serve Business InterestsThe study leading up to this

statement was osiginally under­taken in 1966 to define the bus­iness community's economic ob­jectives. But during the nexttwo years of increasing socialturmoil, there occurred whatthe statement called a "shift'in the subcommittee's main in­terest" from straight business'objectives to a combination ofbusiness and social objectives.

The statement listed pollution,job training and minority em­ployment as social problems ofimmediate interest to business.

The statement also listed spe­cific reasons why solving socialproblems now also serves bus­iness interests:

A company is responsible toits stockholders, and todaythose stockholders "have be­come so sizable and diversified... that they actually constitlltea microcosm of the entire so­ciety."

terest of business to enlarge itsmarkets to improve its workforce by helping disadvantagedpeople to develop and employtheir economic potentia!."

MIAMI (NC)"":'" Archbishop.Coleman F. Carroll of Miami saidthousands of, Cubans awaitingtheir turn for the refugee airliftto th~, United States would facea harsh fate if the U. S. Congressshould cut off funds for the oper­ation.

"r spent all night calling can·tacts arl"d congressmen askingthem to ·oppose. an Appropria­tions Committee recommenda­that the Varadero-Miami airlift ,be terminated," he told DiarioLas Americas.

Diario Las Americas, a dailynewspaper serving the largeCuban colony here, is conductinga campaign to continue the air­lift as a humanitarian program.

The Miami Herald said, how­ever, that the airlift has becomean aid program for the FidelCastro government. The dailysupported the proposal of Sen.Allen J. Ellender (D-La.) thatfunds for the airlift be cut off.

(Ellender, chairman of-- theSenate Appropriations Commit­tee, withdrew his proposal June29-thereby assuring that therefugee flights would continueat least for a while. The sena­tor said he would reintroduce hisproposal in August, saying hestill wanted to see the flightsended because severe unemploy"ment in the United States meantthe nation could no longer ab­sorb 3,600 arriving Cubans eachmonth.)

Archbishop Carroll told DiarioLas Americas:

The archbishop, a member ofthe U. S. Catholic Conference'sinternational affairs committee,said he· has acted on several oc-

. casions 'to forestall efforts atendi.ng the airlift.

"The Cuban exiles have writ­ten, a worthy history in thiscountry of hard work, respectfor the law, creative influenceand cultural contributions," hesaid. "In many ways, their com­ing here has been a blessing forthe United States." .

Gulf Between '''G~nerations

In Attitude Towqrd .lA'orkBy Joseph and Marilyn' Roderick

.As r write this I am just about finishing up 'a week'svacation in which I had intended to get many of the thingsdone that _seem to creep up on me all Winter. There wassome small painting to be done, a .few odds ,md endsand ageneral run at the gar­den. Per usual I have accom-,plished none of the things Ihad, planned. I suppose thisis as it should be. Our Amer­ican, penchant for work can bepushed to extremes.

After all, what is a vacation forif not to remove us fro.m thegrind and routine of work. How­ever, I' have' found it' sympto- "matic of most of us middle-agedpeople that we think very highlyof work and measure our accom­plishments by the amount ofwork we do, and not by the en­joyment we 'have.

This desire lor work and loveof accomplishment seems to meto be th'~ major difference be­tween generations. If a genera­tion gap does exist for me it ismost evident in this area. i. I findthat in talking to young peoplethat I· differ very little' fromthem in their political goa'ls, intheir de'sire to make the estab­lishment responsive to thepeople etc., 'but I do find a majorgulf in standards of work andaccomplishment.

It is, not enough for my gen­eration to be philanthropic andaltruistic; we m'ust get some­thing' done..I would agree withthe' young that too often whatwe set out to do is narrow andselfish, but nevertheless, we arewilling to d~ 'what we feel is our"Bag."

Automobile FactorIt seems to me that the young

people I meet are extremely lazy.My wife and I were at a theatrerecently. and were massed in thelobby waiting for the show toopen, and. we found, ou'rselvessurrounded by a very youngcro~d, most' Iof whom weredressed' in . casual summerclothes. .. We were both amazed at the

size' of the boys and girls, not~ in height so much. as in their

heaviness and flabbiness: We .both .. conjectured that the big­gest factor in what we wereseeing was the automobile. Lackof exercise due to the availabil­ity of the convenient car has leftmany of our young people flabbyat' a time when they should bephysically at their best.

TJ:1is question of laziness both·ers me because I see it on everyside. If there has been on~ out­standing characteristic of theAmerican people it has been ourdesire to work and accomplish.One wonders how many of theyoung" people leaving their.homes for. communes and wan­dering around the country aredoing .. so'-. .from philosophicalcommitments or from, just plain,laziness and the inability to doa days work.

In The KitchenOn what was probably the

hottest day of the Summer wedecided to take the children up

No matter how many qu.es­tions come to mind when webegin to think of what meaning"father"· can have when appliedto God, we cannot.av'oid the fact,that Jesus himself frequently re­ferred to God as father, hisfather and ours.

He also held that conscientiousobjection to war is well-foundedin Catholic tradition.

In an interview, Bishop Doziersaid: "Many draft boards areoperating under the opinion that,only a few religions theologicallysanction the position of a con­scientious objector. It is perfect­ly consonant witfl Catholic the­ology that' a person, be a CO,"

, Just War Theory

The bishop, also denied thatpatriotism was an issue in thematter. "They (draft board mem­bers) use virtue and religion withpatriotism to align it inevitablyon the side of the war," he said.

"Patriotism is in the interestof the good of the country. But,is the involvement in the Viet-

,nam war really for the good ofthe country'! Judged by the 'justwar theory' (of ~... Thomas Aqui­nas) it does not comply," he said.

After outlining the require­ments which St. Thomas heldnecessary for a \War to be moral,Bishop Dozier said that therewere "strong issues with thiswar" and that ethical and moralprinciples should be carefully re­thought.

The bishop also indicated thathe hoped to lay the foundationfor a draft counseling program inthe Memphis diocese.

with the Father." They speakof a divine person and naturein Jesus as well as a humannature. The divine person unitesthe human and divine nature.

This being talk is less vividthan John and Paul's action talk,but its heart is in the rightplace. Nicea and Chalcedon areanxious to preserve the completevision of Jesus - his utter hu­manity and his exalted mystery.

The example of John, Paul andthe Councils should guide us inour ap'preciation of the meaningof Jesus., They teach us to re­fuse the temptation to reducehim to a human fact and nothingmore, or to exalt him to an un­reachable divine fact and noth­ing more.

Following their spirit we canembark on a sincere imitationof Jesus and a contemplation ofthe mystery surrounding himthat will yield in us a self-under­standing which reveals our ownhumanity and our own call to beprofound hearers of the Word.

Christ, therefore, teaches us topray "Abba Father."

The first and third readingsadd another aspect of God'sfatherhood: his genuine love andcare for us, his children. Eventhe delinquent boy recognizedthat care and concern are themarks of true fatherhood. God'sfatherhood is expressed in hislove for us.

The story of Moses pleadingwith God, and Jesus urging usto plead with God as an impor­tunate neighbor reveals some­thing of the "heart" of God'sfatherly care for us. He lovesus not with a human heart andfeeling, but with a love that al­lows us to approach him confi­dently, even boldly as a childapproaches ,his father.

Continued from Page Sixteenversion (Mat 6: 9-13) is slightlymore detailed and closer to our.familiar prayer: "Our Fatherin heaven ...." Not only dothe Gospels frequently, refer toGod as father, but the Old Tes­tament uses the image often.Through the centuries, Catholicsand other Christians have prayedthe "Our Father" or "Lord'sPrayer" in every part of theworld and in every language.

Share God's LifeAs with every human image

of God, after affirming somepositive meaning, we must mod:ify it. God may well be ourFather in some instances like ourexperience of human fathers, buthe is certainly not a father inexactly the same way. He is nota man. He does not generatea child as a human father andmother do. He does not havehuman feelings and emotions.So we have to modify most ofwhat we just affirmed: God maybe a father, but not just like ahuman father.

What sense can it make tocall him father? The three Sun­day readings focus on what ismost proper and good in eachfather and apply that to God.

The second reading gives thebasic insight. Paul asserts thatGod can give "new life in com­pany with Christ." Fatherhoodamong men is the generation ofhuman life. Father and childshare life because of the activityof father and mother in creatingthat Jife. The implication is thatwe actually share God's life ifwe can really call him "father."

Sons of GodThis is exactly our Christian

faith. Because we are unitedwith Christ we. share in the lifeof God himself. "See what love

,the Father has bestowed on usin letting us be called childrenof God! Yet that is what weare" (I Jn 3:1). This "new lifein company with Christ" we call"grace" and can say with St.Paul "Christ lives in me." Weare sons of God because we areunited with his only son JesusChrist. We are sons in the Sonand "our life is hidden withChrist in God." The spirit of

Mythology or Reality

The truth 'of the matter isthat we do. The mythologies ofthe generation gap, the hardhat, the white ethnic racist, thesuperpatriot. have been ~;o vigor-'ously promulgated by the mass

'media and so insistently' beingpushed by the intellectual jour­nals that a substantial segmentof American society actually be­lieves they represent n~ality.

When my colleagues and Iat the National Opinion Re'se~rch

Center discovered, for E,xample,that white ethnics are less ra.­cist than other Northern whiteAmericans, and less likely to sup­port the war; our findin gs weredismissed as patently absurd.

I was once at an intl!llectualmeeting where Robert Coleswas subjected to the rudesttreatment I have ever seEm in 10years of wandering aroundAmerican academia. In our pres­ent romantic era, we don't wantcomplexity, and we don't likemen who come and tell us aboutcO!'Jlplexity. Coles concludeshis book with a statement thatwill surely get him in trouble.

"I believe Americans . . .need a little more kindne'sstowards one another, a littlemore of the charity Christ urgedupon us. Those. who writebooks, we who write books,are particularly apt to get swol­len with ourselves-and so for­get about our own sillS andcrimes and 'problems' (~.s theyare called in this day and age);l:Jence again our need to strugglefor the charity towards otherswe hope they will in tum offer'back to us."

Cole is a fasinating man witha subtle, complex mind. Onehad, for example, to read verycarefully his lengthy dialoguewith Daniel Berrigan in theNew York Review of Books torealize that, for all his personaladmiration of Father Berrigan,Coles was. in vigorous disagree­ment with him. 'Cole is able tosee many sides of an argumentbut this does not prevent himfrom taking a stand of his own.

Neat Categories

He began his exploration ofmiddle America in a rather pe­culiar way. His initial interestwas in. the psychic injuries doneto the black students in the. early'days of integration in the South.What, he wondered,-did it meanto a student to have to be es­corted to school each day bypolice through lines of scream-ing white bigots. .

But then Coles began 'to won­der about the screaming whitebigots and one imagines, withconsiderable difficulty and pain,'strove to interview and under­stand them. He discovered thatpeople cannot be fitted ihtoneat categories of "racist" and"nonracist."

I remember Coles remarkingon one occasion that swarms ofNorthern college students de­cended upon' the South to re­make Southern society; only afew bothered to try to listen toand understand .the viewpointof those white Southernerswhom they were so vigorouslyintent on reforming. The' richkids from the elite colleges inthe Northeast already kneweverything there was to knowabout the South and there wasnothing' to learn, especially fromwhite Southerners.

Their presentations reflected agrowing national trend to com­bine formerly separate efforts­Catholic schools, adult education.campus ministry and other edu­cational programs-into a uni­fied whole.

While structural details varied.each diocese making a presenta­tion had a director of educationand a board of education con­cerned with all facets of the di­ocesan educational program.

There is no single. best organ­izational plan for Catholic edu­cation. Father Lucker told the114 workshop participants, be­cause of differing diocesan andparish needs. facilities and edu­cational backgrounds.

Effects of Renewal"We can learn from sharing

with one another." he said.Bishop Willi'am D. Borders of

"Renewal in the Church in­volves sensit.ivity to and con­cern for, the essential dignity ofthe human person. subsidiarityand collegiality.... Bishop Borderssaid, noting that these three ele­ments are also evident in modernplanning for Catholic education.

Collegiality, for example. is"a decision-sharing' "process"which applies not only to thePope's relationship with his bish·ops. or bishops with their priests.he said. "Collegiality is -also amatter between pastor and peo­ple."

According to Father Grenough,most corporations in the Louis­ville area have a ,number of fed­eral contracts. He said that bylaw any company with' 50 ormore employees and a federalcontract of $50.000 or'more isobligated to develop a programfor hiring members of a minoritygroup.

Father Grenough maintainedthat if a quota system wereused, anyone could determine,simply by counting heads.whether the firm was living upto the program terms.

Proposes 'Minimum

If employees were hired ac­cording to population, firms inthis area that have federal con­tracts would have approximately16 per cent black employes,Father Grenough said.

Father Grenough cited statis­tics of the black labor forces atarea branches the Ford MotorCompany, General Electric andInternational Harvester, all ofwhich. according to FatherGrenough, are below his pro­posed 16 per cent minimum ofminority group personnel.

According to Father Grenough,Ford's automotive division hasa seven per cent black workforce, General Electric nine percent. and International Harves­ter 14 per cent.

Regarding advancement poli­cies. Father Grenough called fora halt in white advancementuntil black advancement comesinto proportion. "We ask that allunion contracts that do not soread' be declared void." he said.

"Whites have no more 'right'to advancement than blacks,"Father Grenough said. "We'renot depriving whites' (by thisplan). we're just stopping theundue acceleration of them."

As a result of the shortage ofpriests, Archbishop Nsubugasaid one of the major problemsfacing the Church in Uganda isthe "need for support from othercountries" to provide educationfor' African priests' and.

"If a boy comes from a poorfamily and wants to become apriest, he can't (afford to) go toschool" unless a benefactor spon­sors his education, the archbish­op remarked.

"We have many benefactors,"Archbishop Nsubuga explained,saying that without them a num­ber of priests and Sisters couldnot receive an education.

Besides the education ofpriests and Sisters. ArchbishopNsubuga is also, seeking financialassistance for the constructionof a shrine near Kampala inhonor of the 22 Ugandan martyrswho were killed in the 1880s.The 22 were canonized by PopePaul VI in 1964.

Archhbfshop Nsubuga said thatbefore he left Uganda for theUnited States, wrote a letterto Dada asking that the mission- 'aries (eight Verona Fathers andtwo Spanish priests) be permit­ted to return to the country.

Archbishop Nsubuga's excite­ment over the return of the mis­sionaries is explained by one ofthe problems he said is plaguingthe Church in Africa-the insuf­ficient number of priests.
