BUFFALO (NC)-Denouncing"anti-Christ gibberi~h" taught inlocal schools, Bishop James A.McNulty said here that his dioc­esan religious education officehas been assigned "to keep ourCatholic schools Catholic indoctrine, morality, virtue andgood manners."

In a brief pastoral tetter onCatholic education, Bishop Mc­Nulty called some teachers"false prophets." He said studentshave startled their parents bycoming home from religious in­struction classes and saying theydon't have to attend Mass, goto confession, honor their par­ents or obey the Pope.

He blamed this on teacherswho have imposed on the stu­dents "their own negatives" and"ideas far removed from the au­thentic teachings of Christ."

"These negatives are not thedoctrine of the Church built byChrist," the bishop said. "Theycontradict that heritage of truththat belongs to the Church. Thequestion naturally arises.

This charge by Karl Haas, finearts director' for a Detroit radiostation, wa's made before morethan 1,000 participants at a lit­urgy conference here. The con­ference was co-sponsored by theDetroit archdiocesan Institutefor Continuing Education andthe Department of Worship.

Hails New Penn.School Aid Law

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Cardi­nal John Krol has hailed a newPennsylvania law aiding nonpub­lie school students, saying itsafeguards constitutional princi­ples and underscores the' "realitythat the child-not the school­is the beneficiary of the educa­tional process."

The new law-a tuition reim­bursement program for parentsof nonpublic school children­was signed Aug. 27 by Pennsyl-

, vania Gov. Milton J. Schapp. Itgrants $75 annually per child ina nonpublic grade school and$150 per nonpublic high schoolstudent.

Asserting that the new law is"tailored to meet the SupremeCourt's criteria for constitution­ality outlined in its' recent rulingagainst another Pennsylvania aidprogram, Cardinal Krol acknowl­edged that the tuition reimburse­ment program may also be chal­lenged.

Opposition "under the bannerof constitutionality" may actu­ally stem from anti-Catholic sen­timent or "raw secularism whichadvocates freedom from ratherthan freedom for religion," Car­dinal Krol said. He urged Penn­sylvania citizens "to discern thetrue motives of all opponents ofthe a<;t."

'Indispensable Reller"While we respect the sincer­

ity of our opponents' convic­tions," he continued, "we cannothelp but raise serious questionsabout the impact of their actionson freedom of choice in educa­tion and upon the quality ofeducation in our community."

Praising "the leadership andstatesmanship of the governorand the legislators," CardinalKrol said the new law "providesa measure of indispensable re­lief to both nonpublic and publicschools," safeguarding "the rightof freedom of choice in educa­tion for parents, without forfeit­ing their rightful share of theeducational taxes they pay."

In talking to Fr. Lenny hementioned one occasion whenhis car was caught up in· themiddle of a mob and the momen­tary concern it gave him. Onenight when returning to ourhotel in Dungannon the streetwas barricaded by an overturnedvehicle and we had to go downa street wrong way, half waydown the street, we encountereda group af young men rushingup the street 'to throw' stones.at windows of local stores andfor the moment there was thatsense of fear.

Experiences of ParentsMy parents were in Coalisland

when a three hour encountertook place between the Britishtroops and local residents. Be­tween the overturned vehicles,missiles, rubber bullets, CS gasand flares being shot into' the .air it was a hectic three hoursfor them. In'-view of these expe­riences I have come more to re­alize the deep psychological im­plications of the violence.

,Whereas in 1969 the collegestudents' had been interested inadvancing the cause 'of theminority by participating in CivilRights causes the continuedviolence has made many youngpeople quite accustomed to vio­lence. In all of' 'ihis there seemsto be a growing :disregard for thedignity of the human person. AsCardinal Conway had warnedearlier, "Your children could bemaimed for life, ,psychologicallyand otherwise by a continuationof these disturbances~" ,This is aproblem shared with all minori­ties throughout the- world but thedeep psychic effect on the indi­vidual does not often show inthe newsreel or on the printedpage.

In Dungannon and CoalislandI had an opportunity to discusswith Civil Rights leaders the .sit­uation as they saw it. It wasfrom Coalisland to Dungannonthat the first Civil Rights marchoccurred on Aug. 24, 1968 andCoalisland again was first to

through, their impact has notbeen made in practical terms.Most feel the reforms come onlyat the insistence of Westminsterwithout a change of h~art and itis these same reluctant men whoare charged with their adminis-

. tration. Thus the situation has ar­rived where the Catholic commu­nity does not accept the Stor­mont and th'e campaign of pas­sive resistance a.s contrasted toviolence, which has been con­!';tantly condemned by the Car­dinal, is ,seen as a ,safety valve,an outlet for the deep frustra­tion of the people~s emotions.

Passive resistance would seemto be the only weapon right now

-as the Catholic community hasbeen driven into a corner wherefew tactics are left to them apartfrom violence, and more' andmore will be tempted to violence.The feeling is the resistancecampaign will be well supported.

Monotony of FrustrationI also spoke to Fr. Austin Eus­

tace whose work Fr. Lenny re­gards as probably the most on­going example of what thechurch can enc'ourage and co­operate in to alleviate the prob­lems of housing and unemploy­ment. Fr. Eustace's Public Hold­ing Company has just opened itsnew crystal factory. He is al­ready seeking permission to ex­pand it 100 per cent as he hasinterested buyers in the Repub­lic of Ireland, Great Britain, Aus­tralia, New' Zealand, Canada, theUnited States as well as fiveAfrican count~ies for its prod­ucts. The first issue of stock inthe Public Holding Company was:oversubscribed and a new issueof stock will be, available shortly.

But even here there is frustra­tion as Fr. Eustace has had diffi­culty in obtaining permission togo ahead with the housing heplanned in connection with thework project. It is difficult toview an activity like this whichaddresses itseif to two of theproblems which have been ac-

,knowledged by two successiveGovernments of Great Britain asneeding reform, housing and em­ployment, and not feel frustratedby the obstacles placed in itsway by government repres~nta­

tives. As one talks to many inthe North this experience is re-peated over and over. .

Psychologically one must won­der' how many people realizewhat it is like to be part of theminority in Northern Ireland.

As one priest who works inthe North but whose home is inthe Republic told me many inthe Republic have no idea ofthe extent of the problem in theNorth. He himself never did un­til he began to face the prob­lem personally.

In talking to Fr. Lenny Ire·viewed with him the Cardinal'sstatements on the inequities oj'the Judicial system in NorthernIreiand: Fr.

In July of this year a numberof priests protested the sentenceof a' man who welled "Up theIRA." Unbelievable as itl mayseem the sentence was 12months in jail. The Cardinal's re­action was again one of artxietyof some aspects of justice inNorthern Ireland, a deep: andwidespread anxiety which shouldbe taken seriously in the i con­text of community confidience.

Mary who were 'prodding them­selves about their religious com­munity life diJring their thirdannual senate held at MarycrestCollege here in Iowa.

High in their concern was theloss of Sisters leaving the com­munity, particularly young Sis­ters. The order's median age hasrisen from 51 to 56 in the lasttwo years. Despite the vocationlag, the Sisters stayed in goodhumor as they discussed theircommunity's condition.

The community has been ex­perimenting for three years withwhat it calls team government,led by Sister Roberta Kuhn,president, and two vice-presi­dents.

The Sisters attending the sen­ate indicated that their experi­ence with collegial governmenthas enabled them to talk freelyabout everything from the mean­ing of vocation to "the impa­tience of younger Sisters," tothe conflict between personaland community commitment andprojects.

She said community "no long­er means what it did in thedays when a superior said 'you10 go here and you 10 go there.'

"Now I do my work, try tosee my situation and the situa­tion of others in 'the light ofwhat I understand from our his­toric commitment, and make adecision: this is my commit­ment," she added.

Whatever support you cangive by prayer or other meansopen to you may force an in­formed world opinion to bringmore pressures ·for peace. Onehas to hope for this when yousee men like John Hume, M.P.,arrested by the troops after heand Fr. Denis Bradley pleadedwith the troops not to removethe barricades which the localcommunity in Derry saw as theirdefense. The Cameron Report"Disturbances in Northern Ire­land" a report to the Govern­ment of Northern Ireland citedJohn Hume. "Mr. Hume's influ­ence has been insistently exer­cised in favor of the adoption ofpeaceful means of protest andhe has so far resolutely opposedviolence and disorder." As con­cerned people of good will wemust not be taken in by thosewho would frustrate justice andseek power for power's sake.

destruction is happening beforethe eyes of British soldiers com­pelled to play the very oppositerole to that in which they werefirst cast. As a result of 12months' inertia the British Armyhas become, an instrument ofStormont's policy, doing Stor­mont's dirty work. This is intol­erable."

'Lamentable Failure'I should like finally to sum

up the situation in Northern Ire­land through the eye of the Sun­day Times of London of Aug.15, 1971:

"When the Ulster Unionistssettled in 1920 for an arrange­ment which kept only a part ofIreland linked to' Britain, theymade it as large a part as wouldbe sure of providing them withan overall majority. When theysaw that even among theirchosen six counties there weretwo, or more where their major­ity was fragile, they fiddledelectoral boundaries to keepthemselves in power. Theypacked the judiciary and intimi­dated juries. All. this is known,attested. There may have been atime when it was still helpful totalk-as all three Governmentsconcerned, in London, Belfast,and Dublin, still insist on talking-in terms of improved Catholicparticipation in a system stackedagainst them by sheer numbers,for all the Northern Ireland Gov­ernments honourable efforts atreform. That time has gone by.If nothing else has, the fact andmanner of internment has sentit flying. It is time now for theBritish Government to acknowl­edge that the 50-year experimentof a Unionist Ulster with its ownParliament-"a, .,protestant PanIiament and a Protestant State,"in the ingenuous phrase of itsfirst Prime Minister-has been alamentable failure."

Problem 'Contra Nnturam'It is equally important that we

recognize the problem for whatit is, that in particular we recog­nize the economic, political, andsocial problem that it is. AsPaul Johnson wrote very suc­cinctly:

"It is tragic, indeed, that theBritish are still taught to see theUlster conflict in religious terms,for this makes it seem incom­prehensible. We cannot believe,in the 20th century that peopleare prepared to kill each other'because of ancient theologicaldisputes. This makes the prob­lem appear contra naturam. Infact, Ulster is essentially a con­temporary crisis, with parallelsall over the world. It is the relicc;>f'a colonial past, with an iso­lated settler minority strugglingto maintain its position of racialsuperiority in an alien island. Re­ligious differences are merely themost obvious manifestation of aconflict of racial cultures: aman's faith is the stamp of hisorigins, just as in similar situ­ations elsewhere it is the color'of his s~in. The racial problemof Ireland, springing from En­gland's efforts to colonise thecountry, existed centuries beforethe word 'Protestant' wasminted."

While in Ireland I was strik­ingly moved as I read the votiveMass for peace and its wordssunk into my heart and mind. Ihope others in America will praythat this last chance for a non­v:iolent approach to justice forthe minority will be' successful,that the mask of political-

but will seek to make policydirectly now that they havetasted power 3) Anglo-Irish rela­tions both nations will have toco-operate in relations to Com­mon Market.

Under Treaty of Rome' mem­ber nations must seek to settletheir political differences andcertainly no Irish governmentcould gain approval to enterCommon Market if it meant anofficial acceptance of partition.Thus it would seem that on theBritish side there has to be theconsideration of a jus.tificationof a tremendous expenditure tocontinue the course in NorthernIreland at a time when Britainalready is facing. rising unem­ployment and an economic pinCh.As a result the Civil Rightsleaders feel that as the SundayTimes pointed out normal politi­cal means cannot be used andcivil disobedience is the onlypossible solution open to theminority at present.

Their reply to the. StormontWhite Paper "A Record of Con­structive Change" that all re­forms have been put through canbest be summarized by an ex­ample. Local government coun­cils can circumvent any pointsystem by which people receivepriority on housing by strategi­cally locating houses, e.g.,houses placed in Protestant com­munity are unlikely to be soughtafter by Catholics.

In conclusion they feel atroot of all Northern Ireland'sproblems is canonization ofUnionist position denying thevalidity of a Nationalist positionas a political position, thus onepolitical point of view is- canon­ized over others. They ask. howProtestant subversives can beignored in internment whenCivil Rights leaders are interned.

Century Separated OpinionsThe problem of Ireland has

been questioned by many inGreat Britain over the years. Asfar back as Feb. 19, 1844 LordMacaulay said in a speech inthe House of Commons:

"I hold that Ireland is in amost unsatisfactory, indeed in amost dangerous state ... You ad­mit that you govern' that islandnot as you govern ,England andScotland ... not by means of therespect people feel for the iaws,but by means of bayonets, ofartillery, of entrenched -troops."

In' more recent times PaulJohnson in the New StatesmanJuly 23, 1971 summarized allthe means Britain has tried inIreland and gives his evaluation:

"In Ireland over the centurieswe have tried every possibleformula,: Direct rule, lindirect·rule, genocide, apartheid, puppetparliaments, real parliaments,martial law, civil law, colonisa­tion, land reform, partition.Nothing has worked."

Richard Grossman, the editorof the New Statesman and·aminister' in the last Labor gov­ernment gave his evaluation ElfBritish troops in Ulster in thecover story of Aug. 13, 1971when he wrote:

"The J3ritish troops in Ulsterare no( longer a peace-keepingforce: They have become an

,army of occupation. Internmenthas clinched it-along with thedeal whereby Prime MinisterFaulkner got his camps in return .for the ban on parades. Themeasures which were to haveprevented civil war have, in factcreated it. The orgy of self-

Continued from Page Foursupport' the Civil Disobediencecampaign. Historically, the move­ment began in the '60's whenthe IRA campaign of the late1950's and early 60's subsided.The Civil Rights attitude wasthat reform was possible withinthe system but as the IRA pro­visionals resorted to violencethe Civil Rights movement be­gan to splinter.

The Civil Rights leaders feelthat the Unionists never accept­ed the Civil Rights movement asnon-violent and so when theIRA provisionals resorted to vio­lence the Unionists felt theirclaims were justified. Thus in anironic twist the IRA provisionalsundermined by its violence the_one avenue that held the great­est chance for 'peace and' playedright into the hands of theUnionist leaders.

Underlying PhilosophyIt is the feeling of the Civil

Rights leaders that the onlypolicy of the Unionist party is topreserve Protestant supremacyand unity with Britain and theonly way to unite the Unionistsis to show the Civil Rights cam­paign as a threat to the state.Thus in a simplistic way all at­tempts at reform are identifiedwith attempts against the state.

If we read the statements ofmany of the leading figures in'the North you can see this un­derlying philosophy in thesestatements . Thus Rev. Paisleyreferred to the refugees whofled to the Republic as a propa­ganda stunt in one of his newsconferences. Mr. Taylor, as aspokesman for the governmentimplied ina talk in the UilitedS~ates ,that if the' Civil' Rightsmovement continued NorthernIreland would be faced wit.h aCuban style revolution.

The Civil Rights leaders feelthat in the last year the initiativehas been with the IRA provision­als rather than with the CivilRights movement. Internment,however, created a massivebacklash of public opinion; thealienated Catholic groups real­ized that violence is not the an­swer and so the Civil Disobe­dience campai~n was born.. The theory behind this cam­paign'is that if one third of thepeople refus~ to be governed theycannot be. The nature of theexercise is to bring about a newtype of government. Their resig­nations from government posi­tions, non-payment of taxes andrents, a minimum of cooperationwith the government.

They feel that the vandalismwhich follows many ralIies illus­trates the break down of law andorder when vandals are allowedto operate though some of themore sophisticated young peoplefeel vandalism is necessary tocall attention to the demonstra­tion in the press or on television.

The problem is further c.om­plicated when we realize thatthe youngsters who normallywould engage in vandalism arecaught up into this and whenthe whole society would be unitedagainst them they would be pun­ished but in present situationthere is a problem.

Local Government's StrategyAs to the future the Civil

Rights leaders see three forcesat work: 1) Catholics completelyalienated from government andtaking part in civil disobedience2) Right wing unionists will nolonger be content to influence

Pope PauI Giv~s

Special M~ssageTo 'Cardinal

ST. LOUIS (NC)-In a privateaudience Pope Paul VI gave Car­dinal John Joseph Carberry ofSt. Louis what the prelate calls"a very special message for thepriests of the archdiocese of St.Louis."

Cardinal Carberry said. thePope-asked that his apostolicblessing be given to all the'people - priests, Religious andlaity - and that they be told heprays for them and asks God towatch over them.

The cardinal told the St. Louis-Review, archdiocesan newspaper,that the Pope also said:

"Tell the priests especially.that they mean so much to meand that I truly love them, thatI am' willing to help them andto strengthen them., "'I hope in a very special waythat they will come to realizethat they, more than the bishops,are channels of grace to theepeople. The priests are the oneswho offer the sacrifices of theMass for the people, they are theones who give them the bodyand blood of Christ in HolyCommunion, they are the oneswho go with them in their suf­ferings in times of illness andthey join the newly married inthe sacrament of holy Matri­mony - they are close to thepeople.

'Fatherly, Vigorous'" 'They are, then, in the front

, lines of the battle for the causeof Christ and I pray for themevery day,'''

The cardinal said that the lasttime he had seen the Pope wasin May, 1970, and at that-time,the Pope had looked "very tiredand weary."

"But this time," the cardinalsaid, "the Pope looked very wellrested, his voice was strong andhe was fatherly and vigorous inhis greeting and throughout theaudience."

An Answer To CrimeRecently-released statistics show that crime has been

rising at an alarming rate. The causes are many. But onefactor stands out clearly: all too many people today feelthat they, have the right to do as they please. This,- ofcourse, is not a right; it is the mere physical ,ability.

Pope Paul has said in this regard: "If everyone wants, to do as he pleases on the pretext of liberty, then we willeasily come to the, decadence of civil society organizedas a state . . . Liberty is extremely pres:ious and delicate... It is true that liberty must be able to operate without,obstacles, but it must be directed toward good, and this!

THE-ANCHOR-Oiocese of Fall River-Thurs., Sept. 9, 197}

,'Decade Of Awakening'"Socialism has turned out to be a grim joke and

democracy seems to be going to pieces. The nineteen-sev­enties will be a decade of spiritual awakening."

The speaker is not some ecclesiastical figure nor evena contemporary philosopher or theologian. Rather he isone of the most distinguished Italian nIm directors, FranceZeffirelli.

The first' sentence of his statement may be open todebate. One hopes that the second sentence is a true as­sessment of what is now taking place and what will come.

Zeffirelli has-with many others-correctly seen thatthe materialism of the past two decades lIas done some­thing to people. Life has. been eased by mechanical invtm­tions;,time-saving devices have given many people all sortsof leisure. Theoretically, life' should have become happierfor those enjoying all these benefits. Actually, there is awhole pre~ent generation that is restl.ess; that is disillu~

sioned, that is rebellious. And it does not seem to knowwhat it is fighting against and why.

Many spiritual leaders' h!ive pinpointed the problemand the answer: man is a spiritual being and his soulmust be fed. Man-St. Augustine said it sixteen centuriesage-is a restless being and can find his rest only in God'and the things of God.

As Zeffirelli expresses it, ma\l has a deep need, "thewill to exaltation." He wants to be more than himself,he reaches out for what is above and beyond himself, andthis is God.

Perhaps Zelfirelli is not saYing anything especiallynew: But it is encouraging when one of his stature seesa present-day problem 'and its cause. And it is particularlyencouraging when such, a person is in the position to dosomething- about it. This famous film director works in apowerful medium. He has already been influential in it on aworld-wide scale. And note he is turning his considerabletalent to exposing the problem and suggesting the answer: ,Already awaiting editing is his film on St. Francis of As..sisi with whom, he believes, many of today's youth havemuch in common. And while today's youth sometimesmanifest their. restlessness in strange and unproductiveways, they can see in St. Francis how one man,:found theanswer to his questioning and .literally changed the West..ern world'in 'the process and by his own life.

It is to be hoped that Zeffirelli is right. As the nine­teen-fifties were the years of afflu~nce and the nineteen­sixties the years of rebellion, it may well be that the nine~

teen-seventies will be the years of spiritual awakening.

MINNEAPOLIS (NC)-A stateaid law granting tax credits toparents paying tution for theirchildren attending nonpublicschools has been taken to courthere by two citizens' groups.

Americans United for the Sep­aration of Church and State andthe Minnesota' Civil LibertiesUnion filed suit in a state courthere, challenging the constitu­tionality of the law in light ofrecent U. S. Supreme Court rul­ings against two other nonpublicschool aid laws.

The suit seeks a permanent in­junction to prevent the state taxdepartment from implementingthe 1971 law.

Spokesmen for the two groupssaid they believe "that the Min­nesota parochiaid law violatesthe first amendment to the U. S.constitution because it involvedthe state in an 'excessive en­tanglement' with religion."

"Entanglement" was a reasonthe Supreme Court gave June 28for voiding nonpublic school aidlaws in Pennsylvania and RhodeIsland.

A spokesman for the Minne­sota Catholic Conference deniedthat the state tax credit law isunconstitutional.

The law contains "safeguardsso that the state, various statedepartments and the nonpublicschools are not involved in 'ex­cessive entanglement,' " said Le­Roy Brown, MCC education de­partment director.

"This law is primarily onewhere parents of children innonpublic schools apply for in­come tax credits," Brown said,"and is somewhat similar to taxcredits for other things."

He noted that in Minnesotasome taxpayers subtract "rentcredit" from their final property

Magazine AimsTo' Free Spirit

WASHINGTON (NC) - "Free­ing the Spirit" is a new quarterlymagazine published by the Na­tional Office for Black Catholicsin an effort to set loose the crea­tive energy of the black Catholiccommunity.

It is dedicated "to all blackpeople who have rediscoveredtheir imprisoned souls. Also thisbook is a prayer for those blackswho still have not found them­selves; who have not discoveredtheir beautiful black self."

Editor Michael St. Julian is aformer seminarian who has tak­en the Swahili name MtumishiWa Watu Wango, which means"servant of my people." He saidthat although the colorful slickpaper magazine is directed toblacks, it is not aimed at themexclusively.

"We believe there should besharing," he said. "We think thetime has come for the entireChurch to begin to experienceand receive contributions blackpeople can make."

In the first issue of the maga­zine· are liturgies, prayers andChurch ceremonies, all writtenby blacks. It is St. Julian's hope,he told NC News, that "ordinarypeople will be encouraged tosubmit material, submit liturgies,and if they're good, we'll printthem."

The next edition, he said, willprobably be on music and "morescholarly than this issue," St.Julian, who is from New Orleans,said it will include reports frompersons who have done researchon black religious music, the useof drums in religious music, andthe roles played by jazz andblues in religion.

those who,. most often, havespent a lifetime in work support­ing and bringing up the next gen­eration. And, significantly, someof these answers bear directly onthe problem of inflation.

We know, for instance, fromPresident Nixon's wage andprices standstill, that at the coreof our present Western inflationlies the pressure of strongly or­ganized workers to incr~ase

wages even if such action sets inmotion another round <;If prieeincreases.

I have already mentioned inthis column one of the difficul- .ties about persuading large num­bers of workers to lessen thepush of continuously rising wagedemands - the extravagant de­mands on the community's re­sources made by leaders of in­dustry, successful novelists, star­lets, rock singers and, the lowestform of social life, the' currencyspeculators.

Freeze Short-LivedIf one man or woman is pre­

pared to taj{e a million dollars ayear out of the community'sstock of materials and labor forhis or her personal gratifica­tion, then we cannot begin ex­plaining to the $8.000 a year manthat a rise of a few dollars aweek is harmful.

His aspirations are set for himby television reporg on Onassis­type living standards. Tell him toconsume less in the name of astable currency and his answerwill be explicit and probably farfrom polite. That is why thepresent wage freeze is bound tobe short-lived unless other poli­cies are introduced.

A'reconsideration of Westernstandards of rewards may there­fore be a moral and political pre­requisite of curbing inflation.But another expedient is alsoworth examining particularly inits impact on the heart-rendingproblems of the aged.

Guaranteed IncomeSome economists are begin­

ning to wonder whether the con­cept of "fringe benefits" which!already cover pensions, healthcare, holidays and so forthmight not be rethought in termsof a more lasting offset to infla­tionary pressures. The problemtoday is that a sudden increase inpaid-out wages pushes up costs,moves on in pushed-Up pricesand prepares for the next wagedemand.

But suppose the package in­chided quite a high element ofguaranteed income, in constantdollars, to be taken uP,. as ofright, at the age of 60? The in­come would be the equivalent ofaverage income over the last twodecades of working life.

In such settlements, immediateclaims would be deferred, thusbreaking the jnflationary spiral.But demand would not fall so faras to deepen the risk of reces~

sion. It would be transferred,stage by stage, to those whoneed it most-the elderly poor.In fact, old age in destitutioncould be virtually abolished.

It is one of the paradoxes ofour Western, nominally Christian,society that we keep believingour way' of life to be more hu­mane, more respectful of humandignity, more responsible for.human welfare than any othersocial order invented by man. Westill talk of the Asians' "lack ofrespect for life" while we cheer­fully kill off about 50,000 peoplea year on the roads without theleast sustained effort to end thebutchery.

Similarly, we seem perfectlyunaware that one of the dis­graces of our modern industrial­ized societies is the virtual dis­carding of old people as thoughthey were so much useless bal­last while, in tribal Africa, theyare still the respected oracles ofthe village and in CommunistChina, it seems, the age-longConfucian tradition of venerationfor old age continues in thecommunes and fam,ily groups.

In the West, the continuity offamily life, broken by highermobility and industrial change,can even result in the virtualabandonment of parents. Some­times the results are only per­sonally tragic. One thinks ofdreadful, though expensive "sen­ior citizens" settlements wherethe old ape the young in styleand entertainment and wherethey are deprived of old age'sdeepest content - contact withyoung children, respect for expe­rience and disinterested familyaffection.

Human TragediesBut these are the best of the

uncivilized solutions. Add pov­erty and inflation and you havethe horrors of uncertainty, of ris­ing costs always outstrippingpension increases, of landlords'harassments designed to get pen­sioners out and higher payingtenants in; add loneliness andfamily disruption; add the break­down of community sense andeven parish life.

What you get is the worst ofhuman tragedies- despair andabandonment just as physicalstrength and mental vigor beginto fail. Our Western cities arefull of the forgotten old. In careand respect for the elderly, ourso-called Christian societies do'worse than pagan Africans orunbelieving Chinese.

Extravagant DemandsYet there are answers - pro­

vided we are prepared to put ourminds seriously to the problemof securing a decent old age for

One of the worst tragedies of continuous inflation isthe worsening plight of those who are both aged and poor.In fact, if Christian intelligence and conscience are reallyto go to work-as Pope Paul challenges them to do-onlocal issues of critical moralimportance, the fate of oldpeople in inflationary timeshas as good a claim as anyto be at the top of the list.

ENUGU (NC) - The Nigerianbishops, defending clerical celi­bacy, said that they are not infavor of ordaining married menand that" the priest shortage canbe 'partially solved by a betterdistribution of priests.

They urged greater flexibilityin allowing diocesan priests towork in other dioceses and oth'ercountries:

Another' way to help solvethe problem of the scarcity ofpriests, they said, is the use ofpermanent'deacons.

At a meeting held here to briefNigerian delegates to 'the worldSyriod of .Bishops opening Sept:30 in Rome, the bishops said:"For many reasons, celibacy isfitting for the priest and onlythose who are ready to live thislife should be admitted to thepriesthood." '

Missouri' KnightsUrged to BackNixon's Stand·

JEFFERSON CITY (NC)-TheMissouri Catholic Conferencehas called upon the state'sKnights of Columbus to write orwire President Nixon their en-

.couragement of his support fornonpublic schools.

In a letter to Missouri's bish-. ops, state officers of the Knights

of Columbus, its own advisoryboard and "key personnel," thestate conference said there was'"an urgent need" to encourageNixon "to pursue his promise"that he would seek financial helpfor the parents of nonpublicschool students:'

"We understand that thePresident has been getting agood deal of adverse mail to hisspeech before the recent K of CcOJ:lvention," said the letter.

.Nixon had told ~he nationalconvention of the Knights inNew York on Aug. 17 that therapid closings of nonpublicschools was a trend that mustbe turned around. He. s~id theycould "count on my support todo it." The president's speechattracted national headlines and

.wide attention.

Equal TreatmentBecause' of negative, reaction

and in order to show Nixongratitude for his remarks, theMissouri . Catholic Conferencesaid it was suggesting that' eachK of C coundl in the state-"ot'better yet, many members from'each council":""'thank the presi­dent and encourage him "to ap­prove sOme appropriate meansof. assistance to';riori~ulmc'sdiBol1parents." ..

The conference's. letter saidthat no mention should be madeof the type of assistance vehicledesired.

'~A varilition in the languageof each letter or wire ought to beobvious, yet it should emphasizethe same theme-:-the desperateneed for parental assistance,"the lett~r added.

Attached to the covering let­ter was a 450-word synopsis ofarguments on' why Catholicschools should be included ingovernmental funds for educa­tion, with the note that excerptsfrom it be used in letters toNixon. The main point of thesynopsis was that equal treat­ment of all parents. not simplythe liberty to choose a church­related school, is "the dominantconstitutional demand here."

Schools ReopenUnder 'ShadowOf Aid Ruling

WASHINGTON (NC) - Cath­olic schools across the countryare reopening. their doors thismonth under the shadow of the

. Suprem'e Court's ruling last Juneagainst some forms of aid tononP':lblic ~ducation.

.Since the high court heldPennsylvania and Rhode Islandaid programs unconstitutional onjune 28, spokesmen at many lev­els have.' affirmed th'at theChurch is in the school businessto stay regardless of unfavorablecourt rulings or other hardknocks. '

But there is no doubt that theSupreme Court's decision hasadded a' new element of uncer- .·tainty and urgency 'to the finan-

. cial crisis of Catholfc schools.Consider these facts:

Eight hundred Catholic ele­mentary and secondary schoolshave closed for good since lastJune. This is twice the numberexpected before the SupremeCourt ruling, according ttl theNational Catholic EducationalAssociation, and reduces the' to­tal of Catholic schools to about

.10,600.NCEA estimates put Catholic

school enrollment at a shade un­der 4= ~iIlion, compared' with 4.3million in the last schoQl year.

New Court-Tests

Encouraged by the .SupremeCourt's surprisingly harsh rejec.tion. of . the Pennsylvania"andRhode Island programs, foes. of .public assistance' .for 'church' re­lated schools are pUShing newcourt tests of aid laws in half adozen other states.

Despite all that, Catholic edu~

cation leaders see some brightspots in the current situation.

, One is the shock effect of the.Supreme Court's ruling itself.The court did not bar all formsof assistance to nonjmblic edu­cation, but it did make it clearthat it Jakes a jaundiced viewof many kinds of direct state aid.

Catholic educators don't wel­come this but they do acknowl-·edge that ,it could have the salu­tary result of forcing, Catholicsto decide just how importantCatholic schools are to them.

'Up to Ctltholics'

Says Dr, Edward R. D'Ales­sio, director of the U. S. CatholicConference Division of Elemen­~ary and Secondary Education:

"It puts it squarely up to theCatholics of this country whetherthey value the advantages pro.vided by Catholic schools suffi­ciently to make the necessary ef­fort and sacrifices to keep themoperating.

"Undoubtedly some Catholicschools will have to shut' downfor financial reasons as a resultof this ruling, But I do not fore­see wholesale closings of Cath­olic schools unless that is whatthe Catholic public wants. Inother words, the future of Cath­olic schools ,lies with Catholicsthemselves."

Another result of the SupremeCourt decision has been to spurthe search for forms of aidwhich will stand up under thescrutiny of courts.

The search beganiri early Julywhen Father: McCarthy's prede­cessor, Father Robert J. Welsh,suddenly resigned. A specialfive-member committee of theuniversity's board of trusteesconducted the search for a newpresident. In a marked departurefrom tradition, they sought sug­gestions from faculty, students,alumni and councils of the uni­versity, as well as from Augus­tinian communities throughoutthe eastern province.

The man the commissionchose, Father McCarthy, receivedhis bachelor of arts degree atVillanova in 1934. and a doctor­ate in history at Catholic Uni­versity of Washington, D. C., in1941.

He was assistant 'professor ofhistory at Villanova until 1946,and then took several years oftravel, study and teaching inLatin America. He taught at anAugustinian college in Havana,Cuba, and eventualIy becamevice-president of that colIege.,

When Fidel Castro came topower in 1961, Father McCarthyand 12 other Augustinian priestswere jailed and' then expelIed.The college facilities and groundswere taken over by the new gov­ernment, at a loss of $20 millionto the Augustinians.

Rabbi PraisesCanon Lawyer

NEW YORK (NC) - ClaraMaria Henning, the country'sfirst laywoman canon lawyer,has been praised by a Jewishleader for organizing a groupcal1ed Catholic Women. forSoviet Jews.

Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum,national director of the Interre­ligious Affairs Department of theAmerican Jewish Committee,said that Miss Henning drew herinspiration for what he cal1edher "great humanitarian work"from personal experience ofSoviet oppression.

Her interest in the plight ofthree million Jews in the SovietUnion, the rabbi said, stemsfrom her childhood in postwarGermany. As a child, the 30­year-old Miss Henning was in­terned in a Russian refugeecamp, where her grandmotherdied of starvation.

She later returned to Germanywhere she grew up "painfullyaware of t~e role her countryplayed in the destruction of theEuropean community," RabbiTanenbaum said.

Today she is trying to createbonds between "individuals andfamilies of the Catholic andJewish communities in theUnited States and the SovietUnion," he said on one of hisweekly raido talks aired locally.

Miss Henning, who earned hercanon law doctorate at CatholicUniversity in Washington, andher group are organizing letterwriting from American Catholicwomen to Soviet Jewish womento help sustain morale.

Priest OpposesNixon Proposed'

,Visit to PekingBOSTON (NC)-A Vincentian

priest said President Nixon'spropos,:d trip to Peking couldlead to a communist take-overof Formosa. .

Father Stephen Dunker, a mis­.sionary in mainland China for 20years before being evicted in1951, was visiting here whilevacationing from his current as­signment on Taiwan.

Recognition of the mainlandgovernment, he said, eventual1ycould lead America to abandonthe Nationalist Chinese on Tai­wan, and their dreams of return­ing to govern the mainland.

Mainland people would wel­come the Nationalists, FatherDunker said, if they could goback. They have relied heavilyon American support which, ifwithdrawn, could trigger a com­munist invasion, he added.

'False Premise'Father Dunker said the com­

munist takeover of the mainland,which he witnessed as a mission­ary, resulted in, a loss of civiland religious liberties. The RedChinese. government's intimida­tion was so strong, he said, that'it took only one communist tocontrol 5,000 people.

"They say you cannot ignorethe 700 million people of China,"he said. "I say this is a' falsepremise, that you are not recog­nizing 700 million people; youare only recognizing the com­munist elite.:'

Plan's, Religi'ousEducation Forum

WASHINGTON (NC)-An on­going forum to help Catholicteachers caught up iri conflictover the best ways to teach reli­gion is being planned by theNational Catholic EducationalAssociation. '

A "very real dilemma" in reli­,gious education developed afterthe Second Vatican Council, saidNorbertine Father C. AlbertKoob, association president.

Church renewal and modern­ization extended to religious in­struction, he said, and the samebasic problem arose in that areaas in others: some felt threatened

. by the modernization; some feltit wasn't s,weeping enough.

, "Caught in between these op-: posing views are the individual

religion teachers," Father Koobsaid, "many of whom have ap­pealed to NCEA for guidanceand direction." The associationnumbers 7,000 Catholic schoolteachers and administratorsamong its constituents.

One response to these appealswas publication last year ofCriteria for the Evaluation of~eligious Education Programs­a workbook to help teachers ratecourse content, educational fa­cilities and resources, and theirown classroom effectiveness.The association has currentlyanswered requests for 50,000copies of the Critera - a docu­m_ent· with input from a broadspectrum of religious educators.

The,National Forum for Reli­gious Education, due to beginoperations this Fall, will "buildon the momentum" achieved bydistribution of the Criteria,Father Koob said.

The forum will provide teach­ers with consultant service if re­quested, help them organizeseminars and workships, and reolay the latest information ontextbooks, curricula and teach­ing techniques.

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick, One of the great joys of the home gardener is the pro­

duce which comes out of the garden as the weather be­gins to cool. The children planted a garden this Spring,and although they'have since given it little attention wehave enjoyed fresh tomatoes,green peppers, fresh corn,peas~ and now carrots aswell as a number of smallerquick growing vegetables. Noth­ing tastes better than freshlypicked veg~tables as we allknow, but there is 'a certainamount of pride that goes withgrowing the vegetables thatgives them even a better tasteand fl~vor,

I read recently in one of thegardening magazines ,that it istoo costly to grow fruit in thesmall home garden and thatgardeners have turned to thefruit markets for their fruitrather" than 'growing their own.Now 'I ,grant that spraying isexpensive' ;:lnd a, nuisance, but Icertainly think that the cost tothe grower is negligible as com­pared to the thrill of picking atree-ripened peach'and savoringthe juicy pulp, of ,the fruit. Anyone who' has' grown' tlleir ownfruit wO\lld not make this kindof statement.

Rewards of' Gr~wi~g ,FruitAs of right now, we are en­

joying the first of the grapes andthe first of the peaches. Thepeaches have two to three weeksbefore they ripen completely,but at this juncture they are justripe enough to' eat and they aredelicious. Whatever they cost indollars and cents, the peachesare well worth the cost.

Another factor to consider ingrowing home fruit is that thechildren are' affected by theproduct they find at hand. Wehave, heaven knows, few enoughthings in most homes to whichwe can point with pride, whatwith supermarkets etc., and soit seems to me that, the childrenneed something visible and tan­gible to take pride in and toenjoy. No better ptoduct can bein evidence than the fruit whichchildren can see grow, anticipateripening and then finally enjoy.

My friends accuse me of beinga fanatic in this area, but I feelthat each of us should grow atleast one tree for ourselves andthe children. It comes as no sur­prise then when I suggest thatyou pore through 'the catalogsand select a few trees now forSpring planting.

In 1950 the French theolo­gian, Father Yves Congar,O.P., published an importantbook entitled "Vraie et Faus­se Reforme dans L'Eglise" (Trueand False Reform in the Church).A remarkably foresighted pre­view of things to come 12 yearslater in the Second VaticanCouncil, but too controversialfor the jittery '50s, it was ~lmost

immediately ordered off the mar­ket and shortly thereafter wentout of print and became a kindof collector's item. This was un-

fortunate for a number of rea­sons. In any· event, Fr. Congar'sreputation has long since beenamply vindicated (notably PopePaul VI himself) and his ill-fatedbook is no'w back in print. Let'shope it will soon be made avail­able in English.

Though it was written largelyagainst the background of whatwas happening within theChurch in France more than twodecades ago, "True and FalseReform" has much to teach uswith reference to some of ourown problems within the post­'vatican II Church in the UnitedStates.

Intra-Mural Bickering

This is particularly true of thevery last section of the bookwhich deals with the problem ofhow to preserve unity (not uni­formity but unity) within a givenlocal Church (the Church inFrance, for example, or theChurch in the United States) at atime when there is such a sharp'division of opinion among theclergy and the laity alike on awide range of debatable issuesin the area of pastoral practiceand socio-economic reform.

Father Congar is not one topanic in the face of this problem.At the same time he is frank tosay that the possibility that agiven local Church might be tornapart by intra-mural bickeringand might be split into twochurches (a "traditionalist"Church and a "progressiveChurch, or one of the "right"and one of the "left") should notbe written off too lightly.

Fr. Congar's warning is welltaken in the particular case ofour own local Church in theUnited States. On the one hand,while we obviously have ourshare and perhaps even morethan our share of intra-muralbickering, it is not 'my impres­sion that we are in any imme­diate danger of being split asun­der into two separate and ir­reconcilable camps.

Two ExtremesOn the other hand, there are

certain danger signals on the.horizon. In some cases the dia­logue between so-called "tradi­tionalists" and so-called "pro­gressives" in the AmericahChurch seems to be degenerat­ing, at least in conservative cir-.des. into a kind of theological

C;haplain BecomesP'arish Priest

NEW YORK (NC) - FatherLaurence H. Gibney, chaplain for11 years at the Manhattan Houseof Detention, has left the prison .to return to his boyhod parishin Harriman, N. Y.

He told The Catholic News,New York. archdiocesan news­paper, that he plans to continuehis fight for prison reforlJl whilea pastor in Harriman. Inside theManhattan House of Detention,known as the Tombs, his postwill be carried on by Father JohnO'Leary, who has been on theguidance 'staff at a Manhattanhigh school.

"Eleven years as chaplain ismuch too long," Father Gibneysaid' of his turbulent fhaplaincywhich he admits has left himwith a burned out feeling atage 42.

He still looks gaunt, havinglost 50 pounds since Tombs riot­ing last August and October.- Hequestions how effective he couldhave been had he remained aschaplain.

ing gets tough, he is always theperfect gentleman.

I don't know the Monsignorwell enough to be able to saywhat it is that makes him tick,but, as a faithful reader of hiscolumn, I would jiidge that hehas three things in particulargoing in ·his favor: He has a keensense of history, he genuinelylikes people, and he is .a manof simple but profound Christian'faith.

Perhaps it is these three quali­ties taken toget!1er that account

. for his serene optimism, whichis typically reflected in the fol­lowing excerpt from one of hismost· recent columns on "TheState of the Church."

"The reform and the renewaland the return (of the Church)to the world had to come sometime. God so loved the worldthat He sent His only begottenSon into it; but the Reformation,the E)nlightment, rationalism,Freudianism, and Modernism so,estranged His Church that it allbut abandoned it.

'Good for Church'

"The reentry of the Churchinto the contemporary world byway of collegiality, subsidiarity,the liturgical reform, parish anddiocesan councils, -due pro­cess ..., the liberation of theSisterhoods, the new focus onthe social gospel and the servantchurch has been a. bit painful.Old ways become cherished justbecause they are old, and oldhabits become. canonized. Feel­ings and affections get torn upalong with them. But it has beenaccomplished ...

"This storm has been goodfor the Church. It got rid ofsome old. baggage. It ·was re­minded unforgettably of its truerole and the prime concern ofJesus for it: Not itself; not acode of canon law, but people,·the sort of people and theirneeds as carefully described inthe 25th chapter of St. Mat­thew's Gospel."

A system that can producethis kind of youthful optimismin a man who was born beforethe turn of the century can't beall bad.

P'arish 'Hotline'To Assist Needy

LOS ANGELES (NC)-A pre­dominantly black parish on thiscity's south side has started a24-hour telephone "hotline" withthe help of a $3,000 grant fromthe Campaign for Human Devel­opment.

Father Alexander Nardi, pas­tor of the St. Martin de PorresCenter, said the hotline's aim isto assist anyone who is in needanytime, whether the probleminvolves food, clothing. rent,drug addiction, alcoholism, im­migration, poverty, employmentor anything else.

A first-Sunday-of-the-monthcollection of canned food is ex­pected to provide a stockpile forhungry people. The hotIine willbe staffed by a. Sister, a laysocial worker and volunteersfrom parish organizations.

If there is one man writingfor the Catholic press in thiscountry who has managed tosteer clear of these two ex­tremes and to keep his Christianwits about him it is Msgr.George Casey, author of a syn­dicated weekly column, Drift­wood, which originates in theBoston Pilot.

Msgl'.Casey, a pastor in' thearchdiocese of Boston, who iswell into his 70s but has themental outlook, the enti).usiasm,and the intellectual flexibility ofa man of 35 or 40, is, in thiswriter's judgment, one of themost civilized Catholic journal­ists in the United States.

His column does honor to ThePilot and to its editor, Msgr.Francis Lally, who "discovered"Msgr. Casey in the first instanceand has given him his head for10 these many years.

Has Three Qualities

Msgr. Casey is a thousand percent in favor of Church renewal(aggiornamento) and is neverafraid to take an unpopularstand on controversial issues.Nev.ertheless, even. when t~e go-

witch hunt or a new form ofheresy hunting which is muchtoo spiteful and far too vindic­tive in tone and fails to makethe necessary distinction be­tween those matters which areessential to the faith and thosewhich are open to free and frankdiscussion and lend themselvesto quite legitimate, not to saywholesome, differences of opin­ion.

On the other side of the fence-in the so-called liberal or pro­gressive camp-while theologicalwitch hunting, for the most part,is taboo, fraternal charity' issometimes in short supply.

Ridiculing the "opposition" orjudging the other fellow's mo­tives and putting the worst pos­sible interpretation on them isa human enough failing, to besure.

But it is one thing to err inthis regard and something elseagain. to pretend that hitting be­low the belt or going for -thejugular vein, so to speak, is avirtue and that the practice offraternal charity in the liberal­conservative dialogue is a signof weakness or of a lack of com­mitment to the truth.

we had offended? Unity withGod, yes. Unity with the signif­icant other? Not sure.

Both these images, court roomand privacy, needed purification.

Power to ForgiveTurn the' court room into a

room of forgiveness, and peace.

The model for this is the UpperRoom 'on Easter night whenJesus came through the door andendowed the apostles with peaceand talked to them about thesacrament of forgiveness."Whose sins· you shall forgivethey will be forgiven."

Hence it will not be a judg­ment at Nuremburg. Rather thanbe a judge, the confessor enables

We need to ask their help indiscovering community needsand, developing ways of. satisfy-

. ing those needs. We need to askthem. to join us, to ask them tohelp. We need to do this at leastas much as we offer our help tothem.

One step in this directionwould 'be to provide or' expandyouth representation on theParish' Council. This may meanmaking provisions for one 'ormore youth representatives. Orit may' mean lowering the agelimit for candidates and electorsto 16 or 17. (I have never seenthis latter idea in action; but itis an intriguing possibility.)

Whichever steps are taken,they need to be accompanied byan important shift in mentality.It is necessary that we recog­nize that, while a 16 year old isnot an adult, neither is he, achild. He is usually capable of agreat deal more than is 'askedof him.

The shiff in mentality mightbe hastened 'if we realize that,at age 16:

Thomas Edison was a tele­graph operator;

George Washington was partof a team that was surveying thewilderness;

Catherine of Siena was begin­ning her illustrious' career in the.co~vent;

Grover Cleveland was teaching , 'in a school for the blind;

Claire Boothe Luce was pro­ducing her first play; and

The crowds are often smalleron Saturday aftetnoons for Con­fession. Is this a blessing or acurse? Is this some fall-out fromthe post-Council 'Church that iswrecking a fondly' loved andhonored Catholic practice? What'is happening to the sacrament of 'penance? Perhaps part of an an­swer can be found in the limitsof the accepted, images of thesacrament.

Classical confessional practiceworked in and out of the imagesof the court room and privacy.The court room exaggerated therole of the confessor as judge. Itemphasized punishment ,and pen­alty langu"age. Since the dockswere crow?ed, the cases had tobe expedited with all due haste.Wags were not above calling theexperience an ,"absolution ma­chine."

This has be~? the ex­perience of the Hebrew people;it is the experience I of theChurch of Christ. The I heart ofthe biblical interpretation is that"where sin abounds, graceabounds even more." The God ofAbraham, Isaac, and J~cob, theFather of Jesus is "quick to for­give." Mercy is his most obviouscharacteristic. . I

One of the most moving ex­pressions of just how' mercif~lGod is may be found in thethird reading for this: coming'Sunday. Luke records J~sus' par­able of the "Prodigal Son." Ac­tually the story is more aboutthe Father's readiness t~ forgivehis wayward son than it~ is aboutthe son's sin. It is the Fatherwho !s "prodigal" in hi,s lovingforgiveness. Unfortun'ately thestory is so familiar to us sinceour childhood that we clay missthe full impact of it. I.

Paul Explains God's ~e~cy

St. Paul can help us reflect onJesus' parable from a frbsh per­spective. Drawing on his lown ex­perience as well as on tne Scrip­tures, Paul struggled to ade­quately express his conViction ofGod's commitment to mercy andforgiveness. Because wei are soaware of the heroism, i~volvedin risking one's life for !anotherin war or other grelilti crises,Paul's words in the letter to theRomans might strike us moreforcefUlly than the more familiar

reading for this Sunday, expressthe message of all, three Scrip­ture readings for Sunday's Mass.While God despises sin, his heartremains open to the sinner.

St. Paul drew his deep convic­tion of God's willingness to for­give from his own experience."I was once a blasphemer,a per­secutor, a man filled with arro­gance." Yet he was .forgiven.

Moses had a similar experi­ence with the Hebrew tribes heled out of Egyptian slavery..Hardly were they free fromPharoah than they grumbledagainst God and Moses, and inMoses' absence, they made agolden calf and worshipped it inplace of their God. '

The first reading for Sundaydescribes the situation. In thelanguage of the time, God is de­scribed as being furious with theHebrews. In his anger he plans 'to...destroy them all for their sin.Moses pleads with God to for­give, and "so the Lord relentedin the punishment he hadthreatened to inflict on his peo­ple."

',' Ithe p~nitent to express his ownjudgment and face it with integ­rity and accept the pain that ac­companies purification. Thus theconfessor enables the penitent togrow in refined moral judgment.

Privacy still has a criticalvalue, but within limits. The pen­itent ought to be encouraged touse the therapy of apology. Thisoffsets the "half a loaf" confes­sion which appeases God but ig­nores the neighbor., However, acaution is needed here. If maritalinfidelity is confessed, the dis­closure of this to the partnermay not be the best therapy ofapology. The partner may ex­plode in ,rage or collapse in dis­illusion.

There are limits to the therapyof apology. Radical candor isnot. necessarily always the bestpolicy. In this case' a conscious'development of positive andloving behavior toward the other,is the best step. Actua,lly,. tllis is 'always the best in any case.

Penitential Services IncreasingThe growing popularity of pen­

itential devoti<fns is a finemethod of bringing out the com­munal dimension of the sacra­ment of penance. Even better,the day may come when generalabsolution will become a norma­tive practice for the high holydays of Christmas an~ Easter.

Now all this may not solvethe problem' posed about thesmaller lines on Saturday after­noon. It's not that the courtroom has scared people away,but rather tha~ people are inmany ways more serious abouttheir moral lives and less willingto rattle it off in routine weeklyfashion.

It also may mean that they arenon-verbally asking for a greaterunderstanding of the communaldimension of penance whichdoesn't come through so wellin the current privacy practice.Who knows? Let's think aboutit.

THE ANCHOR- '1-7Thurs., Sept. 9, 1971

Paul expresses the' wonder ofevery man who in honesty rec­ognizes his proneness to sin, aswell as his actual sins, and ex­peri~nces the mercy of his for­giving Father. Because of Jesus'life, death and resurrection wecan always turn to God for for­giveness if we repent of oursins.

As the Scriptures affirm:' "Wedo not have a high priest (Christ)who. is unable to sympathizewith our weakness, but one whowas tempted in every way thatwe are, yet never sinned. So letus' confidently approach thethrone' of grace to receive mercyand favor and to find help intime of need" (Heb 4:15-16).

A For~iying GodContinued from Page Sixteen

though it is barely possible thatfor a good man someone mayhave the courage to die. It isprecisely in this that God proveshis love for us: that while wewere still sinners, Christ died forus. Now that we have been justi­fied by his blood, it is all themore certain that we shall besaved by him from God's wrath.For if, when we·were God's ene­mies, we were reconciled to himby the death of his Son, it is allthe more certain that we whohave been reconciled will besaved by his life" (Rom 5:7-10).

Such duplication does leadpersons to ask: "Where is theBlessed Sacrament?"

Simplicity of Altar' of Sacrifice

The altar of sacrifice and itssurrounding area, however,should be simple and unclutteredbecause the liturgical action iswhat makes this particular spacecome alive. People, prayers, rit­uals, are the important aspectshere and artistic furnishingsshould not, by their elegance,distract a congregation from theceremony.

In the Blessed Sacramentchapel, on the other hand, indi­viduals kneeling or sitting inprayer should find the settingstimulates their thinking andelevates their hearts.

notable for the lengthy sermonsand the fervor of the people.

Later, as new communitieswere founded here and there inthe Middle West, there was c6n~

cern to have religious meetingsand to build a church as soon aspossible. ,When the prairies werestill untouched and the grassreadied the height of an adult'shead, people would walk fivemiles through the grass to attenda service.

Religious PositionReligion was' constantly dis­

cussed. Points of doctrine weremeticulously considered. Whendifferences arose, the talk wouldgo on for hours and hours; theconcluding speech in one historicdebate lasted 12 hours.

The extent to which secular­ism and indifference have ad­vanced by now is hardly realizeduntil we are reminded, by such ahistory as that depicted by Mr.MaxwelL of the paramount po­sition which religion held in theAmerican mainstream in thenineteenth century.

Its decline· can be seen inwhat Mr. Maxwell has to say ofhis family in the twentieth cen­tury. His more immediate rela­tives, and 'he himself, cannot bestyled irreligious, but formal re­ligion and clearly detailed ~reeds

do not mean to them what theydid to previous generations.

. Poignant, FunnyOne .of the mOst engrossing

sections of the book deals withMr. ,Maxwell's parents andgrandparents, aunts and uncles,as he knew them. This section isconcerned chiefly with the townof Lincoln in southern Illinois,which we are shown as it wasduring the author's boyhood andyouth.

Here there is that which ispoignant, much that is funny, allexpressed with marvelously evoc­ative exactitude. Up to this pointthe book has been living andgreen, but here it bursts intolovely blopm.

People. whose ancestry is .notat all like Mr. Maxwell's butwho grew up in America in thefirst quarter of this century, willbe able to duplicate from theirown memories much which theauthor relates.

"What I don't understand,"writes Mr. Maxwell, "is how wecould have taken that happinessfor granted and not sensed thatthere was a time limit to it." Al­most everyone will nod and sighand second that sentiment. Butisn't it good, at least, that therewas such happiness in simplertimes? Will its like ever recur inthis new, frenzied age?

gious belief and religious experi­ence at successive stages of theAmerican story.

The Maxwells originated inScotland, and some arrived inthis country before the Revolu­tion. They moved about, as didothers in the genealogy outline~

here, from region to region,state to state, often being on thefrontier.

Spirit of PeopleOne of Mr. Maxwell's grand­

fathers was five years old whenhis father died in Pennsylvaniain 1854. The child had an oldersister and two older brotherswho were taken by relatives. Norelative took him. He was en­trusted to strangers in Ohio. Atthe age of 16 he decided to go toIllinois. He got there by walking600 miles. Eventually he becamea lawyer.

There is' much more to thisone man's story. But the bitabove is cited to show the hardi­hood and the spirit of Mr. Max­well's people, demonstratedagain and again in stories whichhave come down in the family.

These people did not whine,repine, and wait for somethingto be done for them. They werecourageous, self-sufficient, hard­working. They were not felled bymisfortune, nor did they cringefrom the unknown. It is notmere chauvinism to speak proud­ly of an American attitude ofwhich, in these days of afflu­ence, few tra~es are left.

Rule of FaithMuch attention is given in the

book to the religious convictionsand practices of Mr. Maxwell'sancestors. For the' most part,they were Presbyterian to beginwith. But they turned to moreFundamentalist belief, and became members of the so-calledChristian Church and the Dis­ciples of Christ.

Their sole rule of faith was theBible, and a decisive factor intheir change from Presbyterian­ism was the absence of any ref­erence in the New Testament toinfant baptism. The letter of theNew Testament they took liter­ally.

Religion's centrality in theirlives is proved again and again.Some participated in the GreatWestern Revival of 1800-1803,and attended camp meetings

A priest of the Chicago arch­diocese ,recently announced thathe was becoming director of theIllinois division of the AmericanCivil Liberties Union, apparent­ly" without bothering to informhis Archbishop on the subject.

Indeed, I servedon the board of trustees of theACLU for several months' and re­signed simply' beca~se it was a:far too doctrinaire and dogmaticorganization for my tastes:

But, quite apart from any ofthese considerations, I 'wouldthink 'it would 'be a very good:thing for the Church to have a',man in sacred orders deeplycommitted to that kind of socialaction which seeks civil rights,and civil liberties for all. A man;who does it rpay define himseifas a hyphenated priest or even'insist that- he is not a priest atall (though, as I understand theChicagoan in question, these arenot his stands) but concernabout civil liberties seems to beat least as much priestly workas making tents. :

And presumably no one will 'deny that Paul of Tarsus, thewell-known priest-tentmaker, wasa minister of the Gosp~l evenwhen he was making tents.
