England Journal of Medicine, in­volved giving doses of two anti­biotics, erythromycin and clinda­mycin, to pregnant women whowere planning abortions. Afterthe'abortions, tests were carriedout on "fetal liver. spleen, kid­ney, lung, brain, muscle andbone." The organs and tissueswere "homogenized," that isground into an even mixture be­fore the tests were conducted.

The experiment was conductedon 14 aborted fetuses whosemothers had received the drugs,and six more untreated fetuseswere tested as a control group.

The conclusion of the studywas that erythromycin,and clin­damycin "may be reasonablealternatives to penicillin" in thetreatment of some infections inthe womb.

The MCFL asked whether"any attempt" w.as made to keepthe aborted fetuses alive at thehospital. It also questionedwhether the organs and tissueswere re'moved "while the childwas still alive."

"If not," the MCFL continued,"how long after the death of thechild were the organs removed?Who pronounced the child dead?Was it the doctor doing the'analyses? Were fetal death cer­tificates filE:d on those children

HARRISBURGH (NC) - ThePennsylvan'ia state legislaturehas been urged to pass a bill toprotect the rights 'of medical in­stitutions and individuals whorefuse to participate in abortionsor sterilizations.

The bill would guarantee tohospitals, health care facilities,and physicians, nurses, staffmembers and employees of theseinstitutions freedom of con­science in refusing to take part,in these procedures.

Howard H. Fetterhoff, execu­tive director of the PennsylvaniaCatholic Conference, in testi­mony before the state HouseHealth and Welfare urged imme­diate passage of the bill., "It really does no more than

make explicit in Pennsylvanialaw that First Amendment free­dom sacred to all Americans,"Fetterhoff said.

Fetterhoff said he also hopedthe bill would help allay thefears' of "all those, who mightbe threatened by a distorted in­terpretation of the United StatesSupreme Court's decision onabort'ion.'''

He said the bill would insurethat no individual. hospital orhealth care facility would bepenaLized for expressing theirethicill, moral or professionalconvictions.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Offi­cials at the Catholic Universityof America here are predictinga collection at the end of theirfiscal year which will ~urpass

last year's record-breaking $3.5million for support of the univer­sity.

Collection figures already to­taled $3.25 million with eightweeks ,rema~ning in the univer­sity's current fiscal year, whichruns to the end of September.

The collection, taken up inparishes across the country, hasa' large percentage earmarkedfor student aid. Last year 700students, . representing 66 dio-,ceses across the country, re­ceived Oatholic University schol- .arships.

Programs deemed important tothe Church. but which cannotsupport themselves with enoughtuition income or outside grants,are also supported by the an­nual collection funds.

The university's strong de­pendence on this collection stemsfrom the fact that its endowmentfunds are minimal when com­pared to other universities, ac­coraing to university officials.According ·to the American As­sociation of Universities studies,a unjversity the size of CatbolicUniversity should have an en­dowment of $100 million. It hasan operating budget of $25 miPlion.

By tradition, the Catholic Uni­versity continues to concentrateon education in the lib~ral arts,social services, theology, nurs­ing, philosophy and library sci­ence.

The convention will deiil withthree main concerns that affectblack people, today: the Churchin the black community, com­munity development, and educa­tion.

Dominica:l Sister Shawn Cope­land, chairwoman of the con­vention committee, said the con­vention will be "an historic op­portunity for :black Catholics tocreate a direction which is au­thentic, which arises from thegrassroots and whk.h is totallyrepresentative of the black CaUt­olic movement in 1973."

FORT WAYNE (NC) - Theplight of the deveioping woridshould be of concern to allAmerican Catholics, declaredBishop James S. Rauscl:-, generalsecretary of the United StatesCatholic Conference. .

"The plight of the developingcountries is in danger of becom­ing a forgotten factor of the inter- .national affairs," Bishop Rauschtold the general chapter of theCrosier Fathers here:

The theme of th:e bishop's ad­dress was "Justice in the World"- a problem he described as"perhaps the predominan't ethkalissue facing the Christian con-science." '

He said the Church "cannotsimply be one more institution

'following a dominant trl\nd" ofignoring .the problems in the de­velopirig countries. Bishop Rauschcalled upon the Church in theUnited States to "take as a pri­ority item the task of ~obilizing

and motivating its own constitu­ency and other men of good will"to aid "the developing world." .

Just Policy

Such efforts, he said, shouldfocus on the issue~ of foreignaid, trade policies and "a justglobal population policy." CaUt­olics should be "visible, audibleand intelligent participants" inthe forthcoming United Nations'Population Year.

"We shouid commit OUl' time,talent and energy with othermen of good will to the concep­tion and implementation' of a justglobal population policy," hesaid. .

Admitting that the Church isalso human and progress oftenslow, the archbishop offered assigns of a genuine reaching-outto the local churches some ofPope Paul's actions:

Pope Wants Collaboration With Bishops

VICTORS BECOME LOSERS: Bishop Edward D. Head of Buffalo; who assumed hispost earlier this year, laughs at the sign some wag posted at the recen~ Clergy OpenGolf Tournament held at the Wanakah Country Club. NC Photo.

ROME(NC) - Pope Paul VIsincerely desires that every Vati­can department collaborate withbishops of the world in govern­ing a united Church, said Arch­bishop Giovanni Benelli, papalunder-secretary of state, whowas criticized earlier this yearas "an archc.entralizer."

Archbishop Benelli describedPope Paul's desire for collabora­tion in a speech given in Augs­burg, Germany during the com­memoration of the I,OOOth anni­versary of the death of St. Ulrich,bishop of Augsburg. An Englishtext of the speech has now beenpublished h~re.

Referring to "sensational criti­cisms" in the press, chargingthat bishops are not ,truly repre­sented at the Vatican nor in­formed of what the Vatican isplanning and that collaborationis waning, the archbishop stated:

'Really Desired'"Of one thing I am., certain,_

through daily and direct experi­ence: in the Curia (the Church'scentral administration) of PaulVI, communion with all thebishops and effective collabora­tion with all' the churches isreally desired."

In March, English Jesuit FatherPeter Hebblethwaite, fit a seriesof newspaper articles, criticizedArchbishop Benelli as "an arch-

. centralizer," using "repressivemethods of control," and beingsecretive and mysterious."

In the Pope's first encyclical,Ecclesiam Suam, the archbishopsaid, Pope Paul asked bishops fortheir "adherence, counsel andsupport ... and, (their) collabo­ration, while we off~r you ours."

ond Vatican Council, tried to de- .velop and strengthen this collab­oration in order to unify theChurch in communion with the

Table Talk

Students in the course lived atthe seminary five d~ys a week.They made frequent evening fieldtrips -to Spanish-speaking orItalian parishes to pai"ticipate inlocal Church activities. Tabletalk was ,in the language theywere studying. Classes taughtby six Italian teachers and eightSpanish were repetitional, andentirely in the language beingtaught. There was a languagelaboratory for Italian learners.Students also learned by meansof cassettes.

According to Father Martin T.Geraghty, program director, stu­dents were amazed to find, whenthey returned to home parisheson weekends, that they couldconverse with non-English speak­ing parishioners, arrange Mass'esand listen with a new ear to oldtroubles poured out in confes­sions.

Father Geraghty noted thatthe migration office of the dio­cese has been encouraging mostof its 220 parishes to have somekind of foreign language facilityfor foreign-born newcomers.

Catholic TeachersShape Future

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Teach­ers share in 3haping the future ofcivilization, Cardinal Jean Villot,Pope Paul's secretary of state,told the World Union of CatholicTeachers gathered in Rome fortheir eighth world congress.

"The salvation of human dig­nity demands, for the most part,on the formation of the new gen­erations," the cardinal said in aletter.

"This formation ought to bethe' common work of the family,society and the school (each ofwhich is) responsible for the'future of civilization," CardinalVillot said.

Forming the child toward anappreciation of freedom whichincludes self-denial and serviceto others, the cardinal continued,"is the ideal of the educator."

Language CourseLessens BarrierFor Immigrants

DOUGLASTON (NC)-A six­week crash program in Italianand Spanish, attended by 48priests, seminarians, one womanand two Lutheran ministers atImmaculate Conception Sem­inary here, in New York has hadan enthusiastic response here'from its participants as a wayof commun!cating with new im­migrants.

TOO unprecedented in-residencecourse, just concluded, was de­signed to aid clergy to meet pas­toral needs of non-English-speak­ing Catholics primarily in thediocese of Brooklyn, which cov:ers the two New York City bor­oughs of Brooklyn and Queens.

It is estimated by Brooklyndiocesan officials that for morethan half of the Catholics hereEnglish is a second language.Since the ,immigration laws werechanged in 1965, new migrantsfrom Italy and Southern Europe-many of them young families- have arrived, in this area.Spanish-speaking Catholics fromPuerto Rico, Cuba and otherLatin American countries alsohave continued to flow into thecity.

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-A lotof food was cionated during arecent budget dispute which heldup Pennsylvania welfare pay­meQts for almost two weeks, bu.tperhaps none of the food wasgiven the same kind of. under­standing as the 300 loaves ofbread and seven cases of cannedgoods that were distributed atAssumption Church here.

The food was donated by 800inmates at Leesburg State Prison,,a 'medium security prison andminimum-security prison·farm inSouthern N~w Jersey.

"Some of the men here arevery poor - on welfare them­selves," said Stanley Waltz, as··sistant superintendent. "They feltsorry because people were re­duced to getting in trouble be­cause of the lack of food."

Waltz said three prisoners - 'Eugene Silas, Lester Tingle andRaymond Turcotte-saw a TVnews report on a welfare-relateddemonstration here. They ,talkedwith ,fellow prisoners and soon aconsensus was reached to foregobread at three meals and donatethe fbod to welfare recipients.

The vote in favor of the dona­tion was unanimous at both theprison and the farm, Waltz said~

'Ivory Tower Theorists'

expertise hI' lack of expertise inthe field of collective bargainingis pretty much beside the point.

"In o'ther words, regardless of_what you' may think about myqualifications in this area-andregardle'ss ,of the pros and consof the NLRA issue as such-thecrucial point to bear in mind isthat your overall position withregard to ~he farm labor contro-

'versy puts the Teamsters com·pletely at' odds with the over­whelming majority of those who'can legitimately claim to have atleast a modicum of'competencein the field of collective bargain­ing.

"You sta'te, in this connection,tl-,-at those who have critidzedyour recent farm worker con·tracts 'have only an ivory towerconception pf what feirm workersneed.' I think you will admitthat that covers a lot of ground.It includes, for example, GeorgeMeany, Leo,nard Woodcock, anda number of other prominentlabor leaders who have told meprivately that they completelydisagree wi'th the Teamsters inthis issue. To put it even morepointedly. I have yet to meet asingle labor leader anywhere inthe United' States (olltside ofyour own' International) whoagrees with you ih this regard.

"I might add that your sweep·.ing criticisrrt of those who' dis­agree with Ithe' Teamsters,' alsoincludes the overwhelming ma­jority of labor reporters, laboreconomists, and clergymen (ofall faiths) who have had any con­tact with the farm labor problemin recent yea'rs. In my judgement,

, it would be a serious mistake onyour part to pretend that all ofthese people are ivory tower the­'orists who don't know what theyare talking ahout."

, I am not surprised; of 'course,that the Teamsters are so upsetabout the r'ole the clergy areplaying in the current' farm Jabordispute. That's par for thecourse. But surely they ought to'be good enough (as the biggestunion in the United States) tosay what they really think ahoutthe clergy in' this regard insteadof pretending' that they are onlyconcerned about the clergy'salleged incompetence in the areaoj collective bargaining andlabor-management relations.

. That's not ~hat they mean atall. What they really mean isthat they are angry at the clergyfor supporting the United FarmWorkers and opposing the Team­sters in the' current Ca:Iiforniacrisis. If the reverse were true;you could bet :your bottom dollarthat they would welcome the in­tervention of, the clergy andwould not be arguing that thedergy are technically incompe- .tent to express an opinion inthis area. In other words, it' alldepends 'upon whose ox is beinggored. -'

The decree further says:"The custom of never admit­

In response to a telephone in­quiry by NC News. Father Buck­ley, wbo is a professor of dog­matic theology and catechetics atthe University of San Franciscoand president of the CollegeTheology Society, stated:

"The recent decree of the Con­gregations for the Discipline ofthe Sacraments and for theClergy has been widely misin­terpreted.

"Thz law of the Church re­mains that no one is obliged toconfess unless he has committedserious sin. The purpose of thedecree is to put an end to theexperiment of not allowing chil­dren to confess before first Com­munion, or of not introducingchildren (by failing to teachthem about the existence andvalue of penance as well as howto confess) until after first Com­munion.

In announcing his decision touphold Lutheran's certification,Dr. Solomon told NC News thatthe referral issue did not enterinto consideration, "not even alittle bit."

"It was a judgmental decisionand a very hard one to make, butit really wasn't an overwhelmingdecision," Dr. .Solomon said."This decision in no way willput in jeopardy the future ofreligious hospitals in the state."

"Dr. Solomon's statements con·cerning the nmission of religiouspractices, abortion and steriliza­tion from hts review were madeto put a lid on a potentially ex­plosive situation that had raisedconcerns of alarming proportionsin Maryland and across the na­tion."

Calling Dr. Solomon's review'"totally unsatisfactory," Powerssaid the review was conductedin a "hasty manner," the meth>­odology and procedures usedwere "undear, evasive and un­documen~ed:' and that the cri­teria used were not substantiatedor adequately exp~ained. .

@rhe ANCHOR

If there is anything that the continued violence inNorthern Ireland and the rumors of violpnce coming outof Portuguese areas can underline is ~hat the mere pres­ence of the Church in these areas is no guarantee thatholiness and peace and goodness will prevail.

Sometimes people' have the notion that the Churchhas merely to speak the word and &ll will be well. Church­men, the Pope included, have only to command peace andjustice, they believe) and all will be well.

This can happen about as much as it does happenwith the life of the individual Cat.holic. He knows what· hebelieves, how he should live, what me~ns of holiness theChufchholds out to ·him. But he is not thereby automaticallya holy person.

Sometimes people give too much credit to the powerof the Church. They are the ones who see her as the mono­lithic structure having only to command in order to receiveabsolute obedience.

The Church in her divine aspect is Christ, living through­out all ages, bearittg salvation in His hands. The Churchin: ~her human aspeet is people, people' of all kinds andmanner, people with all the qualities and potential forboth good and evil that humanity is .open to.

The Church cannot compel holiness. Her power is amoral power. Her Pope and Bishops and priests can' pro­claim the Word of God, urge conformity to the Image ofChrist, make available the fruits of salvation, but peoplethemselves must say Yes. As St. Augustine once remarked,"God, Who created you without your consent, will notredeem you without your cooperation."

For holiness, for peace, people must cooperate.

People and Peace

Limit the 'l,meThe Congress of: the United States is working on a

bill that will limit the amount a candidate for office mayspend on a campaign. It will also limit the amount ofmoney an individual may give to a candidate.

This is a worthy attempt to call a halt to the seem­ingly inexhaustible amount of money spent in the course'of a political campaign. The abuses are obvious-a can­didate cannot help but be indebted to those who contri~

bute to his campaign with large amounts of money andto those special interests who have the money to give butwith their own purposes in mind which they hope to makehis purposes as well.

Perhaps what is also required is a bill that will limitthe time spent on an active political campaign..Everyoneknows that some people run for office all the time am}the incumbent always has this going "for him-an office,paid employees, the opportunity to do things for peoplethe year round. .

But it might be well 'to consider the British systemwhere the actual active campaign is limited to the severalweeks immediately. before the election date. These arefurious and fast weeks, but it would seem to be betterto squeeze all the activity into a shorter period of timethan to stretch it out over the better part of a year. Andthere is a limit to the amount of money that a partyor a person can spend in six weeks. No one can reallybuyout the radio and television networks and the dailynewspapers for a whole six-weeks period. That would bejust too obvious even by liberal American standards.

It would seem, then, that the .attempts to limit moneyspent on a campaign should be two-pronged-limit theam.,ount a person can give and a candidate may spend; butlimit also the time, period for active campaigning.

The sh·eriff's office said thatwhile there was no violence,there was "passive resistance"by some of th~ strike,:s.

Tile day' before, July 17, CesarChavez, UFWU leader, had re­quested the U. S. Attorney Gen­eral's office to ,investigate whathe said were civil rights viola­tions by Kern CQunty court ancllaw enforcement officials.

Chavez was especially in­censed by injunctions which lim­it the use of bullhorns by picketsto one hour a day and the Hmitof one picket every 100 feet ad­jacent to a vineyard or farm.

Chavez charged that KernCounty's courts and law enforce­ment agencies were taking partin "a systematic infrigement ofour constitutional rights." Hesaid, "We have no intention ofhaving our strike broken by un­constitutional means."

In a statement issued after thearrests, Chavez said bis uniondid not encourage the violationof court orders, "but our ownpeople decided to challengethem."

Number of AfricanCatholics Grows

ROME (NC)-The increase inthe number of African priestsis not keeping' pace with thegrowth of the Catholic popula­tion in Africa, statistics pub­lished by the International FidesService here indicate.

In 1949 there were about 11million Catholics in Africa and7,500 priests, of whom 1,080were African. In 1971, therewere' 35 million Catholics inAfrica and 17,138 priests, ofwhom about 4,000 were African.

Thus, while the number ofCatholics had trebled, the num­ber of priests had little morethan doubled. The number I ofAfrican priests, however hadmore than trebled. ,

The statistics show that Zairehas the largest number of indig­enous priests, 553, followed byTanzania, 494, Uganda, 312, andNigeria, 271.

Reduced ChargesChavez has been especially

critical of Kern County DistrictAttorney Albert M. Leddy forreducing felony charges against

- 30 Team.ster guards who werearrested several weeks 'ago forattacking a UFWU picket line.

Leddy admitted that thecharges were reduced to misdc:meanor complaints in relating to10 Teamsters, but he blamedUFWU members for refusing tocooperate when deputies investi··gated the attack. He said theunion had refused to assist inthe identification of those in­jured in the incident.

"We know people were in­jured out there, but who werethey?" Leddy asked. "We canfile misdemeanor cases. againstthe Teamsters but we cannottake a felony case into courtwithout all the evidence."Chavez cannot really complain;he has gotten absolutely fairand impartial treatment likeanybody else."

The front page editorial con­tained. no direct editorial com­ments-only the headline: U.S.A.,Summer, 1973, Jesus Christspeaks - but Michael Newman,editor and manager of the news­paper, said that the quotationfrom the 23rd chapter of St. Mat­thew's Gospel was run "to sumup everything in the summer of'73."

He said it applies not only toWatergate "but to all otherthings," which have caused a "lossof credibility in certain areas."The areas he mentioned were thefuel shortage, food prices, andthe monetary crisis.

I have six teen-age children at the present time. Ourfirst seven children are all a year apart. The_~ix oldest rangefrom 18 through 13, and these are difficult years for them... and worse for me. One of the most aggravating qualitiesof teen-agers is their senseof "superiority." No matterwhat I say, they answer, "Iknow." Before I am halfthrough with instructions, ad­monitions-or even the time ofday-"I know."

Their knowledge of everythinggives them complete "superior­ity," particularly to a feeble,humbling, s:mile parent ... me.

It's somewr..3t similar to thesuperiority wardens feel towardthe inmates of an insane asylum.And I've used that comparisonpurposely. Because sometimes 1think that part of their plan is todrive me crazy, this will provetheir superiority. They work at itdiligently, methodically ... ap­parently saciistically.

For example, one son arriveshome two h:>Urs late for dinner.

I question his whereabouts.Always Mom's Fault

He says, "I told you 1 had towork late."

If 1 remember he t.old me, thenmy memory is failing. I'm gettingsenile.

If I don't remember, then Idon't listen to him. I'm indiffer­ent to him.

Either way, it's proof that I'mcracking up.

Of course. there is no possi­hility that he forgot to tell-me.IIe knows he told me!

Another problem: I won't· letboy friends visit our girls whenneither my husband nor I arehome.

Rebuttal: I have' a SUSpICIOUSmind. I don't trust them. Noth­ing's going to happen.

On that point, we agree-if Ihave al)ything to say about it.But I don't think we have thesame thing in mind.

One boy complains that hecan't "talk" to me.. This. too,"proves my feeble-mindedness. Ihave the misguided notion that"talking" is an exchanging ofideas. His idea is that he dictateshis demands, and I should re­spond, "Yes, son. You're abso­lutely right, son." If I raise aquestion, disagree or object tosomething, then I am at fault ...I'm not. "taiking" to' him.

From cummiserating withother parents of teen-agel's, Ifind that they are all goingthrough the same turmoil. Mymother-in-law lived through it,and assures me that if I can justhang on to my sanity, teen-agel'seventually become people.

May Be HopeI think there is a chance. I've

seen sparks of understanding insome of my teen-agel's. Theremay be hope that it will catchfire.

Editor S~ggestsPastors TrainS'emino'rians

NEW YORK (NC)-A Jesuiteditor has suggested that closingseminaries and allowing qualifiedpastors to train seminarianswould solve some of the presentdiscipline, moral and instruc­tional controversies in t!h'e na­tion's seminaries.

Father Kenneth Baker, editorof a national magazine, Homi­letic and Pastoral Review, wrotein a recent editorial that maJ:Iypriests are "positively discourag­ing qualified young men from en- ,tering the seminary."

"When I wrote a column lastyear urging vocations, I receiveda letter' from a priest who wasamazed ,at my naivete," he said."He said that he had encouraged

, a young lad to go to the localseminary. In a fairly short timethe boy became a skeptical smartaleck and ended up by losing hisfaith and leaving the seminary.This particular priest said thathe could not in conScienCE] sendanother boy to that institution."

Normal Way"The two principal reasons

given by priests who discouragevocations are the breakdown ofdiscipline and morals in the sem­inary and the absence of solidCatholic teaching (not to men­tion complaints about doctrinalerrors, heresy and situationethics)," Father Baker said,

In an interv,iew with NC News,Father Baker noted that heforethe Council of Trent, the normalway of training men for' thepriesthood, with the possib~e ex­ception of monastery training,was to have them, 'instructed bypastors.

In 'the .editorial, he said, "Iheard that a new young bishopin Holland fired all the profes­sors ,in his seminary and took hisfew seminarians into his lhomewhere he will train,them himself.Maybe that is the answer for thenext few years since many sem­inaries are not teaching syst.ema­tic philosophy and theology."

Possible SolutionsWhile saying' that neither this

suggestion nor a suggestion toestablish a national Catholicseminary is likely to be imple­mented now, Father Baker said'that "both are possible solu­tions" to seminary problems.

Father Baker told NC that theproblems in the seminaries arose,,in part, beCause the bishops havelost control of their seminaries."The professors and ,experts inreligious education run semina­ries quite autocratically in 11 lotof cases, hut the bishops are be­coming aware of the .problem,'~

he said.

Three weeks passed and thefederation was still in no moodto accept passively the highcourt's June 25, decision thatbanned several forms of aid tononpublic schools and to tuition­paying parents of nonpublicschool children.

"Monopolistic," "unjust" anda "denial of a religious right"were several of the phrases thefedeI'ation used in a recent state­ment that voiced strong opposi­tion to the decisions.

The Supreme Court had ruledthat the laws in questions "havethe impermissible effect of ad­vancing religion."

aeligion on CampusThe campus ministry at Yale

or elsewhere, she commented, is"a powerless apostolate-whichis a good thing. That's whatChristianity is all about. It is theChurch in na.ked witness, strip­ped of all other support.

"On a secular. campus, reli­gion has no official standing.Moral suasion is all it has. Thisis an important way for Chris­tians to learn to witness again,iIi the simplicity of being.'~

Sister Pena's mind moves rap­ily from one idea to another, indiscussing the popularity of med­itation, Pentecostalism andJesus among some Collegiansand older Catholics as well. Sheworries about the literal inter­pretation of the Scriptures be~

coming widespread.With the increasing "official

secularization" of society, andlack of opposition to immoralvalues by the older generation,many young people are seekingcertainty. Some turn to such fun­damentalist movements as theNew Testament Missionary Alli­ance and the Jesus People forbiblical answ:ers to society'sevils. '

In Sister Pena's view, adultsshould be ready to assist themin the "ago.}y of their search"for a philosophy by which tolive.

Cardinal O'Boyle IsCARA Chairman

WASHINGTON (NC)-Cardi­nal Patrick O'Boyle, retired arch­bishop of Washington, has beeneleCted chairman of the Centerfor Applied Research in Apostol­ate (CARA) board of directors.

In announcing Cardinal 0'­Boyle's new position, BishopErnest L. Unterkoefler, CARApresident, said: "While CardinalO'Boyle served as archbishop ofWashington, he used CARA's re­search ,services to develop anarchdiocesan self-study, one ofthe most comprehensive of itskind. His Eminence is thereforedeply sensitive to CARA's pas­toral goals and research work.

"Our board believes that hisleadership will greatly assist thecenter's efforts to become contin­uously more responsive to thepractical research needs of the

'Church."

ican matters, which, he said, isatheme that always comes up inconversations among Religiousof both areas.

"The Latin American Religiouscan do much good by bringingup these problems. We don'thave ,a real idea of the impor­tance and the extension ,of theinterference and influence of ourgovernment in the internal lifeof Latin America," Father Boylesaid. '

He then referred to the pros­pects of U. S. Catholics, sayingthat many crises had to be sur­mounted, but that the hardesttime is almost over.

"For a long time we have beenworking on changes, adaptationson the external level. Now' weare more conscious of the needof an internal renovation whichcan lead wi to an authenticChristian life, individually andas a community," Father Boylesaid.

"I want to come back to peo­ple. We get so involved withcauses, with numbers ... withthe migrant workers, for in­stance, we forget that injusticeexists if only one worker iswronged. We tend to think innumbers. You can be an admin­istrator only so long before youwonder if you cim relate one-to­one any more."

Confer'ence Head Says ReligiousCan Learn F'rom' Latin Americans

BOGOTA (NC) - Father PaulM. Boyle, president of the U. S.Conference of Major Superiorsof Men, said here that "one ofthe most important things U. S.Religious have to understan(j isthat we cannot be the leaders (.~

ch.ange in Latin America."Father Boyle, who stopped

here briefly on his way backfrom the Inter-American BishopsConference in Rio de Janeiro,visited the general secretariat ofthe Latin American Confedera­tion of Religious' (CLAR) andparticipated in a discussion withhis Latin American colleagues.

"We North Americans have agreat tendency to believe thatwe can and must" be messianicin our actions and work whenwe come to Latin America," hesaid. "What we have to under­stand is that we must come asservants to help local Religiousand the hierarchy."

"We have to work with thehierarchy, not lead it. This hasbeen one of our most fundamen­tal mistakes in working in LatinAmerica," Father Boyle added.

Speaking on tlie contrIbutionsthe Latin American religious lifecould make to Nortb Americanreligious Hfe, "he said: "We canlearn very much from you. Forinstance how to live with thebasics, as individuals and as agroup. How to keep sight ofwhat is fundameqtal, or what istranscendental."

"In the United States we areused to live in a world of effi­ciency, and we believe that to beall important. We believe thatinfluence is only measured byefficiency, but we have to learnfrom you that the impact is morelasting and important when wegive witness to our beliefs,"Father Boyle said.

She got the position by an­swering an ad in The NationalCatholic Reporter, Kansas City,Mo. Several women - married,single and Religious-were inter­viewed.

Critical Point

KnowledgeA scrap of knowledge about

sublime things is worth morethan any amount about trivial­ities.

Therefore, he explained, itmust be admitted realisticallythat the "Christian life, for thosewho wish to live it authentically,is difficult."

He said that "those who wouldwish to deny, or even to sup-,press wrongfully this difficultaspect, would deform and evenperhaps betray the authenticityof Christian life itself.

"Today this attempt to make iteasy, to eliminate sacrifice andeffort and render it easy going,is in full swing both in terms ofthe teaching and practice of theChristian life." '

Thus, said the Pope, Catholics,on the one hand, must do every-,thing they can to preserve thesense of freedom and happinessthat is proper to the Christianlife and at the same time alsomust preserve the sense of theabsolute and entire concept ofthe Christian religion.

His answer was that, from oneaspect, "it is easy to be Chris­tians, easy for those who trulywish to be ~Christians; to beChristians who are faithful andauthentic. It is easy if we entersincerely and generously into thetotal system of the Christian life,because Christianity could not betruly happy if it were not at thesame time ~asy."

The Pope said Christians whorespond with a complete faith­fulness to the Christian 'vocationdo so by means of grace andcome to enjoy "the effort whichthis faithfulness asks." On theother hand, he said, those whoseek to make Christianity facilecome to feel the weight and an- ,noyance of the Christian life.

Difficult Aspect

The Pope then asked furtherquestions: "Is it easy to be Chris~

tians? Does a facile Christianityexist?" He warned that "this isa critical pomt because the ques­tion does not permit a single andunequivocal answer. It is neces­sary to pay attention, to recog­nize the complexity of the ques­tion."

Pope Paul UrgesCatholics LeadChristian Life

CAST$LGANDOLFO (NC)Catholics can and must live anauthentic Christian life despitethe hazards of the contemporaryworld, Pope Paul VI told thou­sands at a general audience here.

The Pope opened his talk byasking: "Is it possible, timesbeing what they are, (to live) aChristian life which is authentic,strong, happy and capable ofsynthesizing loyalty to the Gos­pel and living in the modernworld?"

Answering his own question,Pope Paul said: "Yes, it is pos­sible ... it must be possible.In affirming this duty we dis­cover the dramatic programwhich every son of the Chur~,

and the Church as a whole, iscalled on to carry' out at thishistoric moment.

How Long?

But the reality isn't fiction. It'san amusing pastime' amongwomen to see how long it willtake a wife whose value is as­sessed through her husband'sstatus to reveal it to a stranger.Some wives become very skilledin the art of rank-dropping..

I enjoy the reverse-subvert­ing the question and frustratingthe questioner. Unless the personhas a right to know or tlhe con­versation naturally drifts intooccupations, I figure it is rude toindulge in, "Pleased to meet you.Awfully hot, isn't it? What doesyour husband do, Mrs. Curran?"

So .1 have several stockresponses, the most usable be­ing a smile and, "oh, just aboutthe same things other husbandsdo." That stops the fIrst level ofprestige-placers but more deter­mined ones come back with, "Oh,no," small laugh, "I mean whatfield 'is he in?"

"F.ield?" I ask quizzically.

At this, ·the interogator is be­ginning to suspect she is beingput on and she asks outright, "Imean, where does he work?"

"Oh!," my turn to small-laugh,"at tthe corner of Ruger andFirst." .

Even the most accomplishedinvestigator has to give up at

friends in government tell meit's even more blatant at Wash­ington cocktail parties wherewives introduce themselves andask immediately,. "What's yourhusband's GS?" If the rating isn'thigh enough, the wife drifts a­way to another spouse in an ob­vious case of, "Is your husbandimportant enough for me tospend my time cultivating afriendship with you?"

The problem is simpljfiedwhenever there are titles: major,coloryel, d<:>ctor, dean, monsignor,mayor, senator and judge. Somewomen are eager to divulge therank or prestige of their hus~'

bands and sons, a situationready-made for jokes, i.e. theJewish mother running down thebeach shouting "Help! My son,the rabbi, is drowning'"

Meets PresidentOf Paraguay

CASTELGANDOLFO (NC)Pope Paul VI met privately for50 minutes here with Paraguay'spresident, Gen. Alfredo Stroess­ner, whose govemment was de­nounced a year ago by the Peru­vian bishops for "systematic per­secution of the Church."

The president's visit to thepapal summer home was a pri­vate one, not surrounded withthe ceremonies of a state visit.The Vatican did not disclose anydetails of the conversation. Afterreceiving Stroessner, the Popereceived other members of thepresidential party and addressedthem briefly.

The 61-year-old- Stroessnerwas originally elected in 1954 tocomplete the term of his prede­cessor and since 1958 has beenreelected for three successivefive-year terms.

Since 1968, Catholic priestsand bishops siding with studentprotesters demanding social, eco­nomic and political reforms havechallenged Stroessner's dicta­torial regime. In May, 1972, the10 bishops of the predominantlyCatholic nation of 2.6 million de­nounced "the· systematic perse­cution of the Church" and pro­tested "the insidious propagandaagainst priests and others doingthe work of the Gospel amongthe poor."

The regime has expelled sev­eral priests active in the studentand worker movements andamong rural communities. It hascurtailed Church action in com­muncations, labor and humandevelopment.

Protest NuclearTest Plans

PARIS (NC) - France's pro­posed new series of nuclear testsin the Pacific has erupted into aconfrontation between Churchand state here.

A bishop'3 protest against theplanned tests was met with ademand from the chief of staff ofthe French navy that the clergystop meddling in matters of state.

In the statem~nt entitled "Noto Nl,lclear Arms," Bishop Guy­Marie Riobe of Orleans declared

'that no political or economic in­terest-of any people justified thetesting or use of nuclear weap­ons.

Calling on all Frenchmen todemonstrate their disapproval ofany policy leading to escalation,Bishop Riobe said that Francewould be truly' great if it saidto the world: "I have the powerto test nuclear weapons and Ihave the atomic bomb - I re­nounce them both for the goodof peace."

After Bishop Riobe's statementappeared, Admiral Marc de Joy­bert, ·French naval chief of staff,,in an open letter published in thePariS daily Le Figaro, called thebishops to jimit themselves to

Rule New JerseyObscenity LawUnconstitutiona I

NEWARK (NC) - A three­judge federal court has ruled th:l1971 New Jersey obscenity stat­ute unconstitutional under theU. S. Supreme Court's recentguidelines. .

The guidelines, which replacedthe old guidelines that materialsmust be "utterly without redeem­ing social vaue," state that lawsmust De limited to works which,"taken as a whole, appeal to theprurient interest in sex, whichportray sexual conduct in a pat­ently offensive way, and which,taken as a whole, do not haveserious literary, artistic, political,or scientific value." ,, The federal court, in a 2-1 de­

cision, ruled that the 1971 NewJersey statute "would proscribematerial that possessed seriousliterary, artistic, political or sci­entific value."

The state attorney general isplanning an immediate appeal tothe U. S. Supreme Court.

David Baime, chief of the ap­pellate division in the attorneygeneral's office, said that the fed­eral court's ruling "preempts theright of state courts to interpretstate statutes." He noted thatstate courts are currently con­sidering the 1971 obscenity lawin light of the new guidelines.

Before the new guidelines werehanded down by the U. S. Su­preme Court, the county prose­cutors were under a federalcourt injunction not to prosecuteobscenity cases under the 1971New Jersey statute.

No Laws LeftAfter the new guidelines were

handed down by the SupremeCourt in June of this year, thestate went back to court seekingto have the injunction removed.

However the federal courtruled that the law was still un­constitutional even under thenew guidelines.

The federal court also said thatits ruling did not apply to munic­ipal ordinances. But a state courthas ruled that municipalities maynot legislate in the area of ob­scenity because of the existenceof state laws in the area whichpreempt local statutes.

As a result, New Jersey is leftwith no currently constitutionallaws covering obscenity.

UTRETCHT (NC)-The Cath­olic bishops of the Netherlandshave urged the Vatican to sup­port the efforts of missionariesin Portugal's East African terri­tory of Mozambique to helpthe oppressed people of the ter­ritory.

Black Catholics'Vicar Na-:ned

LAFAYETTE (NC) - bivineWord Father Mark O. Figaro, ahlack priest was nam(fj first epis­copal vicar for black Catholics

, in the diocese of Lafayette, La.

There is one other diocesanvicar for black Catholics in theUnited States - Divine WordFather Clarence Howard, pastorof St. Patrick's Church in Oak­land, CaliC who was appointedto 1').is new post in June.

Father Figaro, a native of La­fayette, is presently pastor ofNotre Dame parish, St. Martin­ville, La. He will begin his dutiesin the newly created diocesan of­fice 'Sept. 1.

In announcing the appoint­ment of Father Figaro, BishopGerard L. Frey said it is in keep­ing wit'h a directive of. the Sec­ond, Vatican Council 'which saysthat bishops "should set forthways by which are to be' solvedthe very grave· questions. '..concerning brotherly ,relat)ionsamong all peoples."

'Real Community'

The first duty. of the newvicar, Bishop Frey said, "will beto give witness to the concernof the Church and the bishop for.the almost 80,000 black Cath­olics, in the diocese who are ofdifferent ethnic background, rec..ognizing that their cultural an.dsocial patterns are not only dif,ferent, but valuable, and thatcertain steps must be taken asfar as humanly possible to pre­serve these traditions and heJpbring about a peaceful harmonyfor the whole of the People· ofGod." .

Bishop Frey pointed out also,"This office, with the rank ofepiscopal vicar, should not beconstrued as merely giving repre­senta,tion to a particular group,but rather as a means throughwhicn the bishop will try toachieve a real community in thediocese."Tenness~e PraisC's

FALL RIVER ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY

Nam'e James AltEditor.Manager.

WASHINGTON (NC) - JamesL. Alt, feature editor of NCNews ·Service has beeri namededitor/manager of the Green BaySpirit, weekly diocesan news­paper of Green Bay, Wis. His ap­pointment will be effective Au­gust 13.

Alt started working part timefor NC News while he was the'educational director of St. Louisparish in Alexandria, Va. He re­searched information for whatwas then a new religious educa­tion column, Know Your Faith,and when the column started in1969, he joined NC News fulltime and became the column'scoordinator.

Refusing to take full creditfor the creation of the weeklyseries, Alt said, that "Father Carl

.Pfeifer, S.J., (a well known cate­chist who is with the religiouseducation department of the

.United States Catholic Confer­ence) gave a lot of advice andcontributed a great deal in theplanning."

Alt describes Know Your Faitnas a column, "used in religiouseducation class such as CCD(Confraternity of Christian Doc­trine), adult discussion groupsand used by the general public."Approximately 86 newspapers in­cluding The Anchor, subscribe tothe. series.

Alt received a degree in phil­osophy from Marquette Univer­sity, Milwaukee, and studied twoyears at the Catholic Universityof America here.

A key factor in accepting thenew job was its location.

"My wife, Audrey, and I areboth from Wisconsin and we haddecided that if a good opportu­nity in that area·ever arose, we'dtake it," he said. The Alts havea three-month-old daughter.

system of injustice. It does notonly give too little to the desti­tute. It gives too much-both ofgoods and power-to the afflu­ent. And the children look onevery day, on television, in thenewspapers, in grown-up talkand see it happen.

Yet, if all a child learns in itspractical upbringing, in its dayto day experience of life, is theacceptapce of a system in whichmoney tries to pervert justiceand corrupt power, how can theyoung mind 'be formed in such away as even to recognize injus­tice when it is under its nose?

So many of the men involvedin America's present politicaltragedy are clearly loyal and in­deed honest according to theirstandards. It is the standard thatslipped-the acceptance of thefundamental injustice that richesgive almost automatic access topolitical .influence and govern­mental favor. The whole bias ofsociety eduucates not to j~stice,

but to the unquestioning accep­tance. of the opposite.

Other Ways

However, Western,' "post­Christian" societies are not with.out some redress. In a number ofEuropean democracies, the fun­damental injustice of riches con­trolling politics is being coun­tered by healthier electoral laws.By a' variety of arrangements,the main expenses of the polit­ical parties in West Germany,Sweden and Finland are paid forby the community as a whole.Parties receive subsidies broadlyin relation to the number ofvotes cast for them. They do notdepend upon large private con­tributions for their day-to-day·existence.

In addition, all private giftshave to be recorded. But theAmerican experience shows thatrecording is hardly enough sinceso many guises, subterfuges andfronts can be invented for ex­ceeding the maximum sum indi­viduals are allowed to give. Thepoint about supporting the par­ties with public funds is to takeaway the' need for iarge trans­fers of money which can begin ashonest conviction and end inbribery and distortion.

.Perhaps· we 110 not think ofsuch reforms as "education forjust,ice." But they belong pres­ently in those ·practical expe-

. riences of justice which-likeliving and working among thepoor-put a stamp ofrecog­nition on young people's minds.If they grow up surrounded bya cynical acceptance of wealthas the route to understandpower, they will grow up incap­able of knowing what ,is andwhat is not just.

An alarming number of publicopinion polls suggest that manyAmericans "take it for grantedthat parties are like that." Hereis the real corruption. Just asDives did not see Lazarus, a citi­zen can cease to see justice. Ig­norance of the misery at the bot­tom of the scale, cynicism aboutthe affluence at the top have thesame effort. They give childrenan education to injustice.

Today this is no longer true,

and one may fear that the lossof uniformity in ritual and reli­gion texts necessarily means theloss of Catholic unity.

I still remember ChristmasDay many years ago. I was sickin bed, and spent most of the daywatching television. Late in themorning there was what I wouldhave taken to be a Roman Cath­olic Mass, except that it was inEnglish.- The. hymns were famil­iar,r the' altar with its candlesand flowers looked familiar, thepriest 'wore vestments like thoseat my neighborhood parish.

There were readings from t1x~

Bible, a sermon, the Creed pro­fessing belief in the "one, holycatholic and apostolic Church,"the bread and wine, the words ofconsecration, communion, bless­i~g..Lall so familiar to me. YetI wasn't sure how the Masscould he in English (this wasyears ago!). Only at the end didthe announcer mention that theliturgy ,vas celebrat~d in theEpiscopalian cathedral in NewYor~!

Since that surprising discoveryof how much Roman Catholicsand Episcopalians shared in com..mon, I have become more awareof the existing closeness betweenthe two churches. Unlike mostProtestant churches, the Episco­pal Church retains much of Ro..

'man' Catholic ritual and struc..ture, and finds little quarrel withmost of the doctrinal teachingsof Roman Catholic tradition.

PluralismSince that Christmas I have

made another discovery aboutEpiscopalianism. Within the oneEpistopal Church' there are sur­prising differences in doctrineand rituai. III fact Episcopaliansexhibit a broader spectrum ofpluralism than most major Prot·estalh Churches.' There is the"high church" or "Anglo-Cath·olic,'1 which is so strikingly sim­ilar tq the Roman Catholic inteac;hing and worship. Such wasthe Christmas Mass I watchedon television.

But there is also the' "lowchurch," or evangelical group.Their worship appears little dif­ferent from that of a Methodistcongregation. Instead of Mass orHoly Communion the more typ­ical service is Morning Prayer.Still a third branch within theEpiscopal Cllur,ch is the "bread"or "modernist." A typical sermonin a congregation of this branchmight fit equally well in a Uni­tarian servic~.

This surprising pluralism with­in the one Protestant EpiscopalChurch (or Anglicqn Church inEngland) stl'Jkes me as worth re-

" flecting on. How can one Churchtolerate such wide differences ofteaching and ritual? How canunity be preserved with such plu­rality? The Episcopalian experi-

This passage was understood .by some zilrly Christians tomean that the Second Coming.would take place at 4.he samelocation as the Ascension. Thisidea easily became accepted asa confirmation of the previouslegend.

KIDRON VALLEY: "Regardless of whether one viewsthe valley (of the Kidron) from Jerusalem or the Mount ofOlives he is always struck by the great number of gravesand, tombs that occupy both its slopes." The Kidron Valleyis lined with thousands of tombs of pious Jews, Christiansarid Moslems who believe it to be the Valley of Jehosaphat,the site of God's judgement of the nations." NC Photo.

Continued from Page Sixteenthe Valley of Jehosaphat or Jos­aphat (Joel 4:2), which theprophet described as the site ofGod's judgment of all the na­tions "when I restore the for­tunes of JUGah and Jerusalem."

Joel, who wrote after the re- .turn of 0 the Jews from theBabylonian exile, probably didnot have the Kidron or any otherparticular piace in mind when he.wrote his prophecy, for the,meaning of Jehosaphat in Hebrewis "The place where Yahweh(God) judges."

o so as to marry a widow whowould put in -his grasp the vastduchy of Brittany, AlexanderVI arranged' this in 1498. It wasonly a few decades later thatHenry VIII asked a similar ac­commodation, only to be refused.

Notorious PeakThe Borgias were at their no­

torious peak a little before theReformation, Alexander VI wasdead only 15 years -when Luthernailed up his theses at Witten­berg. There is a direct connectionbetween the scanaalOus condi·tions which the Borgias typified.and the earthquake of revoltwhich occurred in the 16th cen­tury.

Cesare was never a priest, al­though he was a bishop at 16lind . a cardinal at 18, honorswhich he renounced at 23 so asto devote himself to militaryconquest, reducing one after an-

o other strongh<>ld and proud cityin Italy. Upon the horrible deathof Alexander VI, Cesare's powerrapidly declined, and he wasdead at 32.

Lucrezia's curious career, notunmarked by violence, wasbrought to a dose by death atthe age of 39. With her, the Bor­gias faded from the main stage.

Friend of LoyolaBut anoth<lr Borgia, Francis,

fourth Duke of Gandia (1510­1572) and great-grandson of Al­exander VI, made friends withIgnatius Loyola, founder of theJesuits, and joined the Jesuits atthe age of 40.

He did this after the death ofhis, wife and after he bad madeprovision for their 11 children.In 1565 he was chosen to beGeneral of the Jesuits, a posi­tion he held until his death in1572.

As a Jesuit, and particularlyas the head of the society, hewas a leading figure in theCounter Reformation, whichsought to cleanse and strengthenthe Church in one of the directintervals of its long history.

After his death, he was canon­ized, a saint sprung from cor­rupt soil. It can happen.. This book reminds us, as we

need to be reminded, that theChurch has survived far worsetimes and trials than any wehave known or are likely toknow. If it is not edifying ·read­ing, it is nonetheless, in its pecu­liar way, reassuring reading.

His ecclesiastical rank did notprevent him from having a mis­tress (there were others later)and fathering seven children, themost famous of whom were Ce­sare, a military genius, and Lu­crezia, she of the fabulous beau-/ty and the three husbands.

Vile ReputationAlexander VI and ·his children

have enjoyed a particularly vilereputation all down the centuries.Mr. Fusero thinks that many ofthe allegations against them arefictions, concocted by spitefulenemies. Thus, he calls Alexan­der VI a great pope, in the senseof an excellent administrator.And he insists that Lucrezia wasnot the poisoner she is generallyreputed. 0

o But he has to admit that theywere far from being ideal Chris­tians.. And as he relates theirstory, while stressing extenuat­ing circumstances, one can onlybe appalled.

Callistus III had been born in1378, the year that saw the be­ginning of' the Great WesternSchism, during which thereflourished not only one anti-pope,but two, a period of wrenchingagony for the Church. It persis­ted until 1423, only eight yearsshort of the. birth of the futureAlexander VI.

Grave AbusesEven after the schism ended,

the Church was in disarray.There were grave abuses whichclamored for reform. But thepopes were temporal sovereigns,much absorbed in defending and,if possible, extending their terri­tories, in warfare, in politics, indiplomacy. Most of the leadingchurchmen were similarly en­gaged, if in lesser degrees.

And it was an age of arrantnepotis,!" with the popes fever­ishly concerned about raisingtheir relatives in the world, en­nobling and enriching them, andheading them toward major orminor thrones.

Appeal to Restock I

Seminary LibraryST. MARY (NC) - The re­

sponse to help restock theburned-out library at St. Mary'sCollege here in Kentucky hasbeen so great that a new goal toincrease donations has been set.

An appeal by' the NationalCatholic Register resulted in do­nations of more than 30,000books and $40,000 to cataloguethe books at the new seminary .library.

The new goal is set at 100,000college level books on theology,philosophy, history, clas:;ics, bi-'ography and "alrlfost any kind ofgood books" for the seminaryoperated ·by the ResurrectionistFathers.

St. Mary's, a 150-year-old col­lege that became a seminary in1929, has trained more than1,000 priests, 1'0 of whom be-'came bishops. '

"It is almost unbelievabie thatstill today, 11 years beyond the~irst prayer-ban decision, notonly is freedom of religion de­nied in the public classroom butCongress has failed to permit thenation to decide this matterthrough the constitutiomil pro­cess of amendment ratification,"Father Howes said.

Father Rufeisen said he op­posed any pressure on or persua­sion of Christian spouses ·inmixed marriages to convert toJudaism and added that "conver­sion should not be made easy."Altbough, he said, it is not desir­able that Christian spouses con­vert to Judaism "just becausethey have come to Israel," he,stressed that he had not dis­suaded ,anyone from converting·if they had made up their minds.. He estimated that there are25,000 mixed couples, Christiansmarried to Jews, in Isr;;lel.

Such phrases as "vast major­ity of Americans" and· "over­whelming will of the Americanpeople" were to be found inmost of the statements made bymore than a half-dozen' personstestifying before the committee.

Sen. Howard Baker (R-Tenn.),who has gained fame rectmtly as ,vice-chaimtan of the select ,Sen­ate committee investigating theWatergate affair, told the amend­ment subcommittee that a volun­tary prayer amendment is one ofhis own "primary legislativepriorities."

K of C MeetingTo EmphasizeRight to Life

SEATTLE (NC)-The supremecouncil of the Knights of Colum­bus is expected to consider at its'annual meeting here a score ofresolutions that call for protect­ing the life of the unborn.

Eight resolutions alone pressfor concerted action to obtain aconstitutional amendment "toproted the unborn from destruc­tion," according to the K of Cplanners of the meeting (Aug.21-23).

The resolutions voice the"angered shock of rank-and-filecitizens to the U. S. Supreme"Court decision denying constitu­tional protection of life to theunborn," according to a K of Cstatement.

The language of one resolutiondescribes the date of the court'sverdict (Jan. 22) as "the day ofinfamy that our nation took agiant step backward.". Anotherlabels the court action "an exer­cise of raw Judicial power."

Several resolutions call for amassive program of education toinstruct the general public on thesacredness of human life fromthe moment of conception to th~

moment of death.

200 Resolutions

The resolutions on human lifeare a part of some 200 resolu­tions which will be taken up bythe 383 official K of C delegatesfrom the UnIted States, Canada,Mexico, Puerto Rico and thePhilippines at the supreme coun­cil's 91st annual meeting here.

Other resolutions deal withthe financial predicament ofCatholic schools, the shortage ofpriestly and Religious vocationsin the Church, prayer in publicschools; and the plight of thementally retarded.

On schools, one resolutioncalls for support of a constitu­tional amendment to insure theparents' conscientious rights tosend their children to religiouslyoriented schools without penaltyof double taxation.

Public School Prayer

Resolutions on vocations ex­press concern at the steep dropin the number of those enteringthe Religious or priestly life.One resolution asks that specialprayers for vocations be offeredat every official Knigbts of Co­lumbus meeting.

Resolutions from two statejurisdictions encourage passageof a consitutional amendment topermit voluntary prayer in publicschools. Such an amendmentfailed by a narrow margin toreceive two-thirds majority inCongress in 1971.

Five resolutions deal with theplight" of the mentally retardedand request establishment ofsome spec~al project by theKnights of Columbus to aid thisneglected segment of society..Several proposals note that" sixmillion children and adults inNorth America suffer from thishandicap. The resolutions call,for giving.the retarded the oppor­tunity for proper training andemployment whenever possible.
