LONDON (NC) - The majorsource of the crisis. in Religiousvocations is a "genuine declinein the sense of vocation itself,"Cardinal John Wright told dele­gates to the 40th annual con­vention of Serra Internationalhere.

Addressing almost 1,000 Ser­rans and their guests at theconvention's opening sessionJuly 14, Cardinal Wright, theAmerican prefect of the VaticanCongregation for the Clergy, said"the awareness of the providenceof God in all our lives is lesssensitive in a mechanistic, secu­lar society."

The cardinal declared that the"average person's sense of per­sonal dignity and destiny is lesssharp" than in previous ages.

"There is an eclipse of aware­ness," he noted, "that every lifeinvolves a special call under theprovidence of God and a stew­ardship in which each individualis answerable to God."

The cardinal challenged theTum to {'age Three

Clouthier said that money,apathy and the belief of someCatholic parents that their chil­dren could obtain an adequateeducation in public schoolcaused the decreasing trend inCatholic school enrollment.

He contended that, while somepublic schools offer a "completeeducation" because many oftheir teachers have been educat­ed at Catholic colleges, Catholicschools provide a "religiousbackground and heritage" thatstudents cannot find in publicschools.

The job of a diocesan boardof education, he said, is to setpolicy and that of the principalsis to administer that policy, tobe responsible for hiring and fir­ing in their schools.

He said the Green Bay boardis not now ready to set salariesand qualifications for positions.This function belongs to the lo­cal boards, which have a betterunderstanding of local condi­tions, he said.

Signs of TimesDeteriorating

LOS ANGELES (NC) - Ageneral disregard for truth andlife has permeated American cul­ture, according to Cardinal Tim­othy Manning of Los Angeles inan article published in the July15 issue of the Los AngelesTimes.

The cardinal cited the Water­gate affair and legalized abor­tion as two examples of his con­tention, and maintained thatman's dignity can survive only-through the exercise of his con­science.

Signs of the times point toa transformation of our Ameri­can culture. Once we subscribedto the proposition that Americawas powerful because it wasgood, that it was good becausepeople worked hard, that produc­tion was the proof of virtue.

Churchmen ProtestKorean I-:-justice

NEW YORK (NC) - Thepresident of the Nati"onal Coun­cil of Churches (NCC) and thesecretary general of the Mary­knoll Fathers were among the35 signers of a statement pro­testing the "injustice and inhu­manity" of the South Koreangovernment's suppression of dis­sidents.

The signers of the statementsaid they had watched with"rtlOunting distress the acts ofPresident Park Chung Hee whichhave systematically sought toeradicate all criticism or protestagainst his. dictatorial rule,"

During the second week ofJuly, 14 persons were sentencedto death by South Korean courts­martial, 15 to life imprisonmentand others to long prison termsfor organizing student demon­stra:tions and other anti-govern·ment activities. Four. others, in­cluding former South KoreanPresident Yun Po-Sun, the Rev.Park Hyung Kyoo, minister ofa church in Seoul, and a theolo­gy professor have gone on trialin connection with the dem­onstrations.

"Be on your guard against pro­posals to divert your efforts toother fields. There are all sortsof more exciting and populartasks than fostering vocations,... but as Serrans you must befirm in refusing to let your soci­ety be diverted,"

"As Serrans," Cardinal Hee­nan declared, "you know that,without its priests and Religious,the Church would wither,"

"It is also part of your aposto­late to encourage priests andnuns to be faithfUl to their voca­tions," the cardinal said.

He added:"Having experienced the worst,

I am now suggesting that Amer­ica, to recover, really needs thebest.

If elected, he must be ableto deliver more people to take onthe rebuiIding task in Washing­ton and throughout the nation."

Lauds AppointmentOf Black Bishop

WASHINGTON .(NC) - Theappointment of Josephite' FatherEugene A. Marino to be the firstblack auxiliary bishop of Wash·ington has drawn praise herefrom the National Office forBlack Catholics (NOBC).

Father Marino will becomeonly the fourth black bishop inthe history of the Church inAmerica and the third livingblack bishop. At thE~ time of theannouncement of his appoint·ment, Father Marino was serv··ing as vicar general of the Jose­phite order, whiCh ministers pri­marily to blacks.

NEW YORK (NC) - Candi­dates for president in 1976should assure the public thatthey can enlist the aid of Ameri­ca's most competent and prin­cipled leaders to help restoreconfidence in government, thepresident of the University ofNotre Dame wrote in Newsweekmagazine.

Father Theodore M. Hesburgh,former chairman of the U.S.Commission on Civil Rights,said in a guest editorial in theJuly 22 edition that the nationmust have "a congeries of lead­ers, the very best possible fromwhatever source, to get Americaback on track,"

Noting that presidential can­didate Richard Nixon promisedin 1968 to replace then Atty~

Gen. Ramsey Clark if electedpresident, Father Hesburgh ob­served that two of Nixon's ap­pointees to that post have beenindicted-one convicted for testi·fying falsely-and another madea hero for refusing a presidentialorder.

In 1976, Father Hesburghwrote, the American voters mustknow the close associates ·of thepresidential candidates as wellas those persons likely to be ap­pointed to high government posi­tions.

He listed four criteria whichthese men should possess.

Jesuits PlanningTo ·EducateIndia's Poor

NEW DELHI (NC)-The Jes­uit Society's. all-India chapterunanimously decided to shift itseducational emphasis from ed­ucating the rich to educating thepoor.

Although the Je~uits had notcxoluded the poor or low castesin' the past, greater emphasiswas put on those who could af­ford to pay the bills for theschools, sometimes housed inpalatial buildings.

The new policy decision is inline with the nation's goals. In­dia's nationa'i constitution pro­tects the right of religious or lin­guistic minorities "to establishand administer educational insti­tutions of their choice."

But this fundamental right hasheen under attack by state gov­ernments for more than a decade.State legia,'1tures have attemptedto extend contro'l over privateeducational institutions by re­stricting their rights and prerog­atives in one area or another.

However, several of the caseswent to the Indian SupremeOourt, which struck down mostof the restrictive laws.

Of India's approximately 600million people. It has been esti­mated that half have benefitedfrom Christian education, whichis predominantly Catholic.

In addition, there are a seriesof teacher-trai'ning schools and20lleges and a large number oftechnical institutions.

Mission'aries have establishedapproximately 1,000 orphanageswhich also provide educationsfor their children.

Money Well Spent?The rising inflation has made every person aware of

the· economy-the high price' of almost everything and the.limited spending his week's pay gives him. It has also madethe American voter very conscious of government spendingand the "fat" that is in the Federal .budget is :a source ofirritation and indignation.

The National Taxpayers Union has called attention tosome of the items which the taxpayer has funded: $375,000for a Pentagon study of the frisbee; $121,000 to disqoverwhy some people use the word "ain't;" $20,324 for a studyon the mating calls of the Central American toad. .!

It may be, of course, that such projects have and willhave great benefit to humanity and to the citizens of theUnited States. The conclusions drawn from them may revo­lutionize some facet off our national life. Great discoveriesmay ~e waiting in the wings as a result of the money spent.But even the most sanguine citizen would be pardoned ifhe-with all due respect-asked someone in government togive the Ameri~an public a fe~ hints on the benefits thathave been or will be derived from such projects. This wouldnot seem to be asking too much. And those in governmentmust have patience enough with the untutored to take timeout from such studies. to throw a few scraps of informationour way, just to give' an insight into the wondrous results'that are coming from the funding of such projects. .

Upcoming Movies .Movie critics are telling us that the country seems to be

developing a greater appetite for-and tolerance t~the

most extreme types of combinations of violencl~ and per­version and gore, and the more graphic, the better.

All that remains is to be on one's guard so tbat the verymultiplication of such movies does not create apathy: oracceptance of what should create shock and disgust to k~ep

insisting on the reality that such fare' cannot do anythingelse but debase taste and lower s'ensitivity; to renew objec­tions to a violance that is harmful no matter what label oneputs on it; to refuse to patronize such movies and so I toattack them in the pocketbook which seems to be the' onlyspot that will result in some action.

This at least, seems to be the trend in the great metro­politan centers. And the fear is that producers and directors \and screen writers wilE'decide to go the other fellow:onebetter a,nd the taste-not to mention the morals-of' themovie-goer will be further debased.

. .Since there seems to be so much difficulty. in defining

obscenity, and since violence celn be portrayed ·in all itsramifications just by slapping a different guide label on: themovie supposedly warning off children, there is no reasonto believe that the wave of violence-sex-perversion-horrormovies has even crested yet. Let anyone object on the b~sis

of morality and he is assailed as a censor bent on deprivinghis fellow man of their guaranteed Constitutional :rights.Lethim point out that violence is a debasing thing and h~ is

.reminded that he must speak for himself and has the rightto stay away from whatever is offensive to him. Let himmake the appeal on the grounds that the whole thing buildsup an unwholesome climate while breaking down civiliiinginhibitions and reducing taste to a lowest common denomi­nator of vulgarity and he is shrugged off as a zealot, a bigot,a censorious scold. The dollar is actually' the controllingelement in the whole scene. . \

He said the purpose of addi­tional meeting will be to findways to "institutionalize" col­laboration on the national anddiocesan level.

The bishops and scholarsagreed that there was already a"considerable" degree of collab­oration, Bishop Rausch said, butthey felt that this must be "moresystematized and more widelyknown."

Bishop James Rausch, NCCBgeneral secretary, said the par­ticipants . agreed that "ultimate­ly, the goal of their discussionsis not to foster the interests ofeither the bishops or scholarsfor their own sake, but to pro­mote the welfare of the Catholicpeople, who have been confusedby cb:lrges of disloyalty andheresy and who are sufferingthe effects of polarization in theChurch."

sister community.To date, Mt. Carmel House has

donated over $3,500 to the NhatChi Mai orphan village to helpit become self·supporting as afarm and handcraft communityon the model of a traditionalVietnamese village.

After the ceasefire in Januaryof 1973, the Unified BuddhistChurch of Vietnam began to fo­cus its reconstrucUon efforts onthe care of homeless children.The Buddhists currently sheltermore than 40,000 war orphans,working to reconstuct all of theirorphanages into traditional vil­lages by inviting other homelesspeople of all ages to reside inthese areas to become "parents"and "grandparents" to the chil-dren.

The Nhat Chi Mai orphanageis one of the Buddhist projects.Sister Hanh Lien; a Buddhistnun, serves as administrator ofthe orphanage. In September,1973, the orphanage housed 46children, but the number hasgrown to 70 in recent monthsdue to the continuing war. Theorphanage bears the name ofNhat Chi Mai, a Buddhist nun,who i1Jlmolated herself for peacein 1967.

HotWeatherTimetoWater,Plan Fall PI,antings

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick --

This is the time when we suffer Summer slump. It getseasier to let the grass go for three or four days. Weeds seemless unsightly as the effort to hoe becomes more difficult.Vacations creep in and things get ahead of the gardener. Allin all, only the truly dedicat­ed gardener maintains theenthusiasm to forge aheadduring August. This is reallymy time for planning for nextyear's garden. From this I getthe -impetus to continue my ef­forts during the hottest monthof the year. Right now I ammaking a list of iris I would liketo purchase in the next fewweeks for planting this Fall. Ad­ditionally, I am preparing for anew planting of lilies, a few newday-lilies, and of course bulbsfor the Fall. This requires plan­ning in terms of budget andplant location.

Watering NeededRight now our major effort in

terms of the garden is to keepeverything in good health, wa­tered, and free of insect!;. This

. requires spraying in cooler peri-ods of time rather than duringthe heat of the ~ay. Watering is.another problem. The gardenneeds at least an hour of Water­ing a day in 'order to remainhealthy. This means that tI doa section every day. I do notsprinkle but try to water heav­ily in one area each day.

This is essential, especially for.shallow-rooted plants such asazaleas. Such plants suffer im­mensely from .lack of water dur­ing the hot Summer days andwinter-kill is largely the resultof shortages of water now, notthe result of cold during theWinter.

Heavy watering results in fer­tilizer depletion, so it is a goodidea to add small amounts offertilizer to the soil as you wa­ter. I emphasize small amountsover a long period of time. Win­dow boxes, for instance, shouldbe watered almost daily now, butin addition they should be givenextra feeding to compensate forleaching. In my case, I add awater-soluble fertilizer to mywindow boxes at least once aweek.

Indiana ClergyPonder ProjectPriesthood '74

EVANSVILLE (NC) - Are·cently initiated program of con­tinuing education for priests inIndiana was a success, accordingto several of the participants.

The program, known as Proj­ect: Priesthood '74, lasts fourweeks and is designed to bringpriests up to date with majormovements in the areas of Scrip­ture, dogma, moral and pas­toral theology.

"I've heard a lot of things andthey've gone into my' head,"said Father Larry Moran ofRockville. "I'm not sure I canhandle everything inside yet."

Several of the 30 priests par­ticipating, whose ages rangefrom the 20s to the 60s, re·marked that there were so manythings to do that little time re­mained. for private reading andstudy.

·Father Frank Quinlivan, di­rector of the program, said hewas satisfied with the results.

"The group is responsible," hesaid. "We have a good staff.Everyone has a chance to inter­act. There is a real sense ofcommunity here."

The continuing education pro­gram for priests was first pro­posed last year but failed to getthe necessary statewide support.

This year, under the sponsor­ship of the Indiana Catholic Con­ference, Project: Priesthood '74became a reality.

My good friend, Mom Stoutheart, is unflappable: Shehas eight kids and is calmer in a crisis than a rock jettyin a hurricane. The other day a mini-skirted woman in aform fitting blouse, carrying a small overnight bag, cameswinging up her front walk.Mom Stoutheart thought itwas the Avon lady. She wasjust a bit flustered when sherecognized her caller was hercousin, Sister Moderna. The lastMom Stoutheart had heard, Sis­ter Moderna was teac.hing in a

parochial school in another dio­cese.

But she quickly recovered herralm, and welcomed Sister ...with no' comment about thechanges in Sister since the lasttime they met. Sister Moderna.explained that she had takena leave of absence during thesummer's vacation, and wantedto spend a few days with MomStoutheart and her brood.

"I feel I must take some timeto find myself," Sister said.

"I see," answered Mom Stout­heart. "You're welcome to stay.... Excuse me just a sec­ond...."

cat out of the pool ... and re­turn it to the neighbors.

"Well, turn the filter off."Now ... return the cat!"No. You can't take the fur

out of the filter and glue itback on."

She returned to Sister and in­quired, "You were saying, Sis­ter?"

"I've been wondering if mylife in the order is really mean­ingful."

"How do you mean, Sister?Oh ... excuse me again."

Mom went to the back dooragain.

Claims Tests ToolsOf Discrimination

DAYTON (NC) - Intelligenceand achievement tests are up­dated versions of "for whitesonly" signs that once were fa­miliar in some areas of .theUnited States, in the opinion ofJames Stocks, director of the'Center for Afro-American Af­fairs at the Catholic Universityof Dayton.

In a keynote address at a four·day seminar at the univers.ity forteachers studying urban prob­lems, Stosks attributed black­white IQ. differences to differ­ences in the black culture as op-'posed to the white dominant cul­ture. He said the assumption ofsuch tests is that if a chilld canlearn certain fam,i1iar relation­ships in his own culture, he canmaster certain concepts in theschool curriculum. This falselypresupposes, he said, that theschool is related to a child'sbackground experiences.

"For the average black child,there often is a mismatching ordiscontinuity between skills ac­quired from his culture and thoserequired for successful test­taking," he declared.

CINCIN.NAT[ (NC) - The de­cline of classical studies has fos­tered on Western man a materi­alism that now makes him un·easy and unsure of himself, aclassics professor told a meetinghere.

Prof. Edgar C. Reinke of Val­paraiso (Ind.) University spokeof the "broadly humanizing"study of Greek and Latin in anaddress to the 27th national con·ference of the American Classi­cal League (ACL), held at theCollege of Mt. St. Joseph.

Speaking on the influence ofQuintilian, first-century Romanschoolman, Reinke pointed outthat "this wise mentor repeated­ly postulates as the first andforemost essential of liberal ed­ucation ... the development ofa sound moral character."

Quintilian, the speaker cantin­ued, "constantly exhorts theteacher through study and inter­pretation of literary master­pieces rich in moral content, aswell as through his own exem­plary conduct, to inculcate inhis students such ... virtues as

Nazarene, indeedthe geographical village, butalso, perhaps more important afamily grouri-the Nezer or scionof David, who kept their gEmeol­ogies through the Babylonianand Assyrian exile to prove theirroyal link with the king of Ju·dah. Nazareth as a town wasnever mentioned in the Old Tes·tament, and Christian writers,even up to St. Jerome seem tohave treated the town as un­worthy of notice.

The memory gap between Gos­pel and history seemed only tohave been bridged 400 yearsafter Our l.ord, when WesternChristians call1e to build' a ba·silica. They called it "the houseof Mary" but more as a memorythan a historical site. In West­ern literature or in the monu­ments of earlier times thereseemed no trace of an earlierchurch. One scholar had founda series of caves-a "veritabletrogoldite 'city"and traces ofgraves. However, Nazarethseemed ,to retain little earlytraces of its <;laim to fame.

Bishops' Meetings'Set for Tokyo

TOKYO (NC) -'- Two meetingsdesigned to work out a pastoralplan in mass 'media for the fu­ture of Asia are scheduled toconvene here in late July andearly August.

Sponsored by the PontificalCommission for Social Commu­nications, the meetings are alsodesigned to assess the presentsituation of the social communi­cations apostolate in each regionand in the continent of Asia.

Quick T~st

Ambassador Moynihan, de­spite his reservations about theperformance of the press in cer­tain areas, has made the, samepoint even more graphically,though from a somewhat differ­ent perspective. He has said thatanyone who has flown about theworld very much is aware that"the best quick test of the politi­cal nature of a regime is to readthe local papers on arrival. Ifthey are filled with bad news,'you have landed in a libertariansociety of sorts. If, on the otherhand, the press is filled withgood news, it is a fair bet thatthe jails will be filled with goodmen."

To crib a rather maladroit ex­pression from one of LyndonJqimson's more voluble WhiteHouse aides: I would sleep alittle better at night if I had anyreason to think that the presentAdministration agrees with MoY­nihan in this regard. In anyevent, a country in which a pa·per like the Washington Postcan not only survive but prosperin the face of persistent WhiteHouse opposition can't be allbad.

Instruction on Communicationsissued three years ago, with the ,approval of Pope Paul VI, by thePontifical Commission for theMeans of Communication. Thecommission spoke about the roleof the press with sympatheticunderstanding of' the problemsinvolved in gathering and dis·seminating news accurately andobjectively.

"those whose job it is to givethe news," the comJitissionwrote, "have a most difficult andresponsible role to play. Theyface formidable obstacles andthese obstacles will sometimesinclude persons interested inconcealing the tmth." There­fore, the commission stated, "therecipients of information· shouldhave a clear conception of thepredicament of those that pur­vey information. They should notlook for a superhuman perfectionin the communicators."

Time's essay and the Vatican's, pastoral instruction parallel one

another on a number of addition­al questions, including freedomof the press, but Time's treat­ment of the latter subject is bet­ter-at least in terms of empha­sis-than that of the pontificalcQmmission. The commission,while strongly endorsing freedomof the press, seems to open thedoor to a limited amount of cEm­sorship in extreme 'cases. ,Time,on the other hand, takes the po­sition that since "freedom of thepress exists not for the pleasureand profit of journalists but forthe benefit of the nation," it isbetter, in the words of Founding

, Father James Madison, "to: leavea few of its noxious branchesto their luxuriant growth, then,

praise the Lord, do, tend to getexcited, if not fanatical, whenthey are talking about the pressin general and, more specifically,about its. coverage of Watergate.My own brand of fanata.cism isaggressively slanted in favor ofthe press' and particularly in fa­vor of the Wasliington Post.Long before Watergate hit theheadlines, I was saying to any­one who would 'listen (meaning,at times anybody) that theWashington Post was the bestdaily newspaper in the UnitedStates. In the aftermath of Wa­tergate, I find myself saying thiswith even greater emphasis andconviction.

Time's ESSllY

'At this time; I would simplyaqd, for good measure, that"American journalism is almostcertainly the best in the world."That's a quote from Daniel P.Moynihan, U.S. ambassador toIndia. Coming from Pat, who canbe very critical of the Americanpress when he wants to be, it'sa very high compliment indeed.In my opinion, it merits fJ'equentrepetition from the house lopsat a time when attacks on thepress, as the JOly 8 issue of Timemagazine put it, have become"mindless and reflexive."

Time's recent essay, "Don'tLove the Press, But UnderstandIt," is one of the most balancedarticles I have ever read on therelative strengths and weak­nesses of American journalism.While defending the pressagainst its more intemperatecritics in and out of. the WhiteHouse, Time gracefully concedesthat the press has much to an­swer for and specifically chidesit for being hypersensitive tocriticism and a bit too self-right­eous for its own good. On bal­ance, however, Time concludesthat while the press "should nev­er expect to be loved or admired,... it has a right to be under­stood, and too many Americansdo not seem to understand whatthe press is about and whatpart it must play in the Americansystem." ,

from Bishop Edwin Broderick ofAlbany, Father Newton left theAlbany diocese in September,1972 to share in the work andprayer of the Benedictine monksat Weston.

"I went to Weston for thepersonal experience of examin­ing monasticism," he said, "opento the possibility of stayingthere, but also open to the pos­sibility of returning."

Last summer, Father Kirwinjoined Father Newton at Westonpriory. It was during thoseweeks together that they fo­cused on working out a practicalplan of action' for founding aBenedictine monastic communityin the Albany diocese.

One of their first steps wasto find a suitable location, eas­ily accessible by car but seclud­ed. To date, they have obtaineda mortagage for 101 acres ofland, located on a mountain be­tween Loon Lake and iFriendsLake in the Adirondacks nearChestertown.

Although working full-time inmanual labor this summer, Fa­ther Newton and Father Kirwinwill begin living a monastic life

. style with early mornings devot­ed to communal prayer, medita­tion, and Mass and with eveningsdevoted to vespers, discussions,recreation, and' night prayer.

DiocesanPriory in

CHESTERTOWN {NC) .- Twopriests began working full-timeJuly 1 for a bui'lding contractorhere in New York to acquireskills they will need for con­structing their vision of the past10 years, a Benedictine priory.

In 1964, while completing theirtheological studies for thE: priest­hood at Our Lady of AngelsSeminary in Glenmont, N.Y., Fa­ther Michael Newton and FatherJohn Kirwin discussed the needfor monastcism in the Albanydiocese.

They discerned the need alsoto serve the people of the Albanydiocese as secular priests, andthey were ordained in May, 1966.

The idea of founding a mon­astic community remained a vi­sion as they began their activeministries.

Father Newton pointed outthat he was introduced to Bene­dictine monastecism by FatherKerwin.

"In 1965, John took me to thePriory of St. Benedict in Weston,Va. for a day," Father Newtonsaid. "It was my first e,,:perienceof monasticism, other than read­ing about it in Church history."

He was lured even morestrongly to monasticism,. he add­ed, when he served as chaplainfor the cloistered Carmelite Sis­ters in Schenectady, N.Y.

Postal Rate BinWASHINGTON (NC) - Pres­

ident Nixon signed into law June30 a bill that somewhat relievesthe burden of postal rate in­creases on certain mail users, in­cluding Catholic magazines andnewspapers. Under the legisla­tion, nonprofit, second-class mailusers, including most Catholicpublications, would have 16years to adjust to, scheduled pos­tal rate hikes instead of the 10­year phase-in period previouslyallowed.

but she said she never thoughta Catholic school salary would.,

Sees HardshipAnyone who takes a job in

the Catholic schools for the sakeof its salary is ridiculous ...,"Mrs. DiFonzo said. "I'm teachinghere because I believe in Catho­lic education."

Father Bennett said that thelower salary would probablycause hardship to some of theteachers and their families.

After commenting on the fi­nancial difficulties associatedwith the present skyrocketing in­flation, he added, "We certainlywon't mandate a payroll cut;neither do we feel it fair to ac­cept this current, generous of­fer."

Those teachers who feelstrongly about refusing the raise,Father Bennett suggested, coulddonate the money to the' parishand claim it as a tax deduction.

"We're impressed with the lev­el of their commitment," he con·tinued.

"However, both the DiocesanAccounting Office and the schooloffice feel that every teacher isentitled,to her salary. What theydo with it is up to them."

BROOK,LYN (NC) - Ten layteachers at Our Lady of SolaceSchool here have asked not toreceive a planned $200 raise,but school officials will grantthe raise anyway.

The request by the teacherswas made to lessen the financialburden on the school, which wassolvent during the 1973-74'school year. However, officialsare predicting a deficit for thecoming year.

'Father Austin Bennett, direc­tor of the Brooklyn Diocesan Fi­nance Committee, in rejectingthe teachers' proposal said,"Theirs was a beautiful gestureof commitment, but the fact isthat if they're working, theyshould be paid for it."

Lorraine DiFonzo, who initiat­ed the proposal endorsed by theentire lay faculty, explained theaction in these words:

"I love teaching and I wantto continue teaching in Our Ladyof Solace School. It's great to bein a school where you have boththe administration and the par­ents behind you. I sense a clear­ly different atmosphere in theneighborhood public schools andhave no desire to teach in them,no matter what their salary. Iwant this school kept open."

Mrs. DiFonzo, who has taughtat Our Lady of Solace since hergraduation from Brooklyn Col­lege three years ago, talked with

, the other teachers about theirraise, and they all agreed thatthey would rather see the moneygo to the school.

Although the raise will giveher an extra five dollars perweek, ,Mrs. DiFonzo said she didnot feel any great need for theJ,11oney.

That would not make her rich,

Lutherans RejectTitJe of Bishop

BkLT:IMORE (NC) - The useof the title "bishop" was re­jected at the Lutheran Churchin America's seventh biennialconvention here.

A proposal to use the titlefailed to gain the two-thirds ma­jority needed for adoption.

In 1972, a recommendation tochange the title of the 33 synodi­cal presidents to "bishop" andthat of the president of the Lu­theran Church in America (LCA)to "presiding bishop" also failedto gain the two-thirds majorityrequired for approval.

In 1970, the LCA's Commis­sion on the' ComprehensiveStudy of the Doctrine of theMinistry recommended adoptionof the title "bishop."

VATICAN CITY (NC)-PopePaul "'has never received finan­cial contr,ibutions from the CIA",Vatican, City's daily newspaperdeclared July 8.

L'Orservatore Romano's denialreferred to a' report publishedby, the Italian newsweekly Pan­orama in its May 2 issue. Itcalled the report "altogetherfalse." ,

The Vatican City daily stated:"His Holiness Pope Paul VI,

has never received financial con­tribut40ns from the CIA} or fromother unknown sources, neitherwhen he served at the Secreta~

riat of State, I)or when he wasArchbishop of Milan, nor after­wards."

The conscientious juqge, theauthor suggests, i.s always ques­tioning himself. Is he egotistical?Does he tend to be a I tyrant?Does he treat everyonel fairly?Is his own mood or h'is ownweakness the determining factorin "his decisions? Is what: he dis­penses "gastronomic jurispru­dence?" Is he too much con­cerned with personal publicity?'

Heavy Burd_en ;

The heaviest burden ;of thejob for a good judge is sentenc­ing. It is "the agony and the es­sence of judging." Judges havegreat leeway here, more So thanin Europeal! countr,ies. "Npt onlydo you not know jf you're doingright," says a New York I judge."You know you're never doingright." And another judge de­clares, "It's a puzzle and i a tor­ment."

Mr. Jackson describes the re­actions of judges who ha,:,e vol­untarily spent a short t{me ina' jail or a prison in order to dis­cover at first hand what itmeans to be confined in: suchplaces, a!:1d those of other Judgeswho have gone into these institu­tions to converse with prisoners,The conditions usually appalledthem, and they found that 'a realexc!lange of ideas was virtuallyimpossible - they and the in­mates have been from two differ­ent worlds.

We shOUld, at this poin't, re.'turn to Mr. Jackson's warningthat he has not made an ex­haustive study of the Americanjud'kial system. Bearing th,at inmind, one can say that he has,thrown much light upon it., Nojustice this side of heaven' isperfect.

"Justice is what my gut says it is." "Why do we havelaws?" "To punish people." The court's job is "to determineappropriate punishment for people the poli~e say have vio­lated the law." These are American judges speaking, as,quoted in Donald Dale .'Jackson's book "Judges" ~o see tha~ the Ju?ge~ arc

Judges Are Judged'

To be deplored is the lack oftraining for the job which char.acterizes men ..,who becomejudges. it is only in the last dec­ade that some serious effort hasbeen made to provide judieial ed­ucation. The author studied itsoperation when he attended se~­

sions of the National College of,the State Judiciary in Reno.There, and at about a dozen oth­er .centers, judges come togetherto hear lectures and to hold dis­cussions.

There is a growing movement

A Sampling

What he tries to do is to geta broad sampling: judges onvarious levels, from the 'justiceof the peace, to the justice of theU.S. Supreme Court;' judges inseveral parts of the country;judges of different political back­grounds. And, of course, judgeswho would grant him access,would allow themselves to, beinterviewed, and would allowhim to observe some of theworkings c;m the judicial system.

One thing which, all judgeshave in common is that politicshas much to do with their beingchosen for office. They are prod­ucts of the political arena. Theyare no't necessarily the best law­yers, but "the best of those. whonave divided their careers be­tween law and politics." Evenon the ,Federal bench, a lawyerwithout political connections canfind no place.

Some judges are appointed,some elected. There are flaws inboth methods. It is often pre­sumed that better selections re­sult when bar associations have

'a voice in the matter. But as one, judge p~ts it, "Bar' politics is just

as fierce as public politics, andless open."

CHASM: "Then all of a sudden there was this chasm,a mile wide and a fathom deep, and all we could do washoller at each other from opposite sides." The generationgap-a deep chasm. NC Photo.

By Bro. Michael Warren, C.S.P.

Is there such a thing as a Gen­eration Gap? I would think so,especially after having listenedto. hundreds of parents over thepast few years during seminarson adolescent crises. The gapwas also clearly reflected inmany of the young people I havespoken with or received lettersfrom. It is a sad situation. Boththe young people and. their par­ents care about each other. Eachgroup wants to be understoodand loved by the other. Yet attimes there seems to be an un­bridgeable gulf between them.That's the generation gap. It i~

a painful reality iil many homes.And yet the matter is not as

simple as all that. Distinctionshave to be made if. we are tounderstand what the generationgap is all about. I find there areactually two very different kindsof gaps between the generations.There is the personal generationgap and the cultural generationgap. Let me illustrate.

Cultural GapBarbara is 19. For the past

two years she worked as a labor­er on a construction gang ncarWashington. Now she is readyto enter college as a fine artsmajor, She explained that shewent into construction becauseshe believes women must beginto break down the stereotypessociety has imposed on them.Ideologically ther:e is a chasmbetween Barbara and her dad.His political philosophy andmany of his values are miles reomoved from Barbara's. Appar·ently, the two of them love toargue with each other aboutthese matters.

In Barbara's case there is acultural gap between her and herdad. Her attitudes and certainof her values are quite different'from his. In high school she ab­sorbed a good deal of radical lit­erature and engaged in intenseconsciousness - raising sessionswith her friends. As a result, sheapproaches many matters froma different angle than her father.And yet, there is no personaldistance between these two per­sons. They love to argue witheach other because they love oneanother. 'I've seen them shoutat each other over presidentialconduct, before sitting down tolaugh and carryon over pizza.They seem to trust one another,because each has given the otherclear signs of caring. In .Bar­bara's case, then, there is a cul­tural gap but not a personal one.

Personal GapTom is 16 and a day student

at a Catholic military school.Tom's values and basic attitudesappear close to those of his ca­reer-officer father and of hismother whose best friends for thepast 20 years have ,been wives ofarmy officers. Tom himself re­flects the earnestness and de­pendability Qile might expect ofan army family's son. He is alsoidealistic and very generous. Onewould judge that Tom's values,so far at least, are much closerto those of his parents than are-

past, no ears for the wisdom ofage or the voice of experience,no regC!"rd for the lessons of his­tory.

It was like an earthquake ifyou had children in the vulner­able age brackets. If you didn't,you could brush it off and phil­osophize about it. It has alwaysbeen like that. Parents are themost vulnerable people of. all,always standing there where theearth opens up, in this case justopposite their vulnerable chil­dren.

Sin as Explanation

As has been suggested, it isnot to be explained by the mereand normal process of growingup and away from the family to­ward independence. That hasbeen going on from time imme­morial without too much convul­sion. Nor is it to be explainedby the idealism of youth. Everygeneration has had its hopes anddreams for a better world, forbrotherhood, for salvation. Realdemocracy, real Christianity, the

. impossible dream of rising abovethe human condition to be likeGod is reborn in each new manand especially does it show upwhen man is young.

No, these two things do notexplain the generation gap. Indesperation for an explanationI almost want to say that onlysin can explain it. That' soundstoo easy and old-fashioned, ofcourse, yet when I think of thedivisiveness of the generationgap, the contentions, the bitter­ness and resentment, the quar-

each person, but in a processthat continues now and in which

. all of us, singly and corporately,cocreate what mankind is des­tined to be in Christ. But whatis ·it to be in the likeness ofGod? Basically it means to becreative, to make sense out ofchaos, to bring realities not yetdreamed of into existence bylove, to make the impossiblepossible by the gift of self, tobe free of the chain of causalitythat binds the non-spiritualworld.

Conditioned FreedomIt is not simply the individ­

ual human being but mankindthat is in the likeness of God.Each human individual IS of­fered freedom and the powerof creation, but not in an unlim­ited, unco·nditioned way. We arecalled into existence in a worldwhere the freedom of each isconditioned by the freedom ofothers. The destiny of each iscontained within the destiny ofmankind.. God's call to share increating the futupe goes out toall mankind. .To exclude othersfrom decision-making, to domi­nate, to cut off the future thatmight be created by others, isto destroy one's own freedom­to hem it in by fear of the futurethat others might want to create,

Then all of a sudden there wasthis chasm, a mile wide and afathom deep, and all we coulddo was holler at each other fromopposite sides. Nor was whisper­ing any better because we hadlost our ability to listen to eachother. The hardest thing to un·derstand was where this chasmbetween us had come from, be­cause it seemed only yesterdaythat we were going along bliss­fully side by side able to talk toeach other and make ourselvesunderstood.

Someone finally gave a nameto it and called it the generationgap. It needed a new name be·cause the old names of "growingup" and "breaking away," "de­claring your independence" and"making it on your own" wereall too small to say. it complete­ly, didn't have teeth enough forthe big bite of new reality.

With the old onedied duty and obedience and rev­erence and a standard to meas·ure yourself against.

Cardinal KrolBlasts Veto

The bill, called the AbortionControl A~t, demanded parentalconsent for abortion in the caseof pregnant women under 18,and a husband's permission inthe case of married women, un­less the procedure is necessaryto save the woman's life.

It also required physicians todetermine whether the, fetus isviable..,-able to live outside thewomb. When there is a "reason­able possibility" that the fetusis viable, the bill said, an abor­tion can be performed only tosave the woman's life, and thenprecautions must be taken totry to preserve the child also, ifpossible.

The Pennsylvania House ofRepresentatives passed the bill147-41 on July 10. The follow·ing day the Senate voted 44-3 infavor of the bill.

Gov. Shapp issued, his vetoJuly 12, declaring that the pro­posed law "clearly violates theSupreme Court decision and thusthe U.S. Constitution by author­izing husbands or parents toforce a woman to continue apregnancy beyond the first tri­mester (three-month period), de·spite !tel' decision and that ofher physician to terminate thepregnancy."

To Forgive Is DivineThirdly, it has reconverted

many. parents to the Lord. Per­haps many of the children tooin the long run will turn to theLord. There is a certain help­lessness and desperation aboutthe generation gap that has madeus call' on the nilme of the Lordin our distress. And, of course theLord has heard us like he alwaysdoes when we turn to him andcall upon him. The' evidence ofhis Spirit at work is all aroundus. We are experiencing God'shelp.

Lastly, there before us allstands the need to forgive andto be forgiven. The children ofcourse never knew how theywere hurting their parents, andparents perhaps haven't realizedhow -their children have beenscarred by the division. Our needto forgive and be forgiven isgreat, and no matter whether

, this . process begins with childor parent, each has in his ownhands to do at least half of it.For, this there is great reward.Only a few days ago I read thefollowing in an unpublished man­uscript on "the healing of mem­ories": "I have seen people shuf­fle into the psychiatrict clinicwith long lists of physical symp­toms which evaporate one by oneas they forgive their parents."It probably applies also to par­ents forgiying their children. Toforgive is divine; and that ispart of the power of forgiveness.

Permissiveness

For one thing, we have cometo realize that instruction andeducation have their limits. The

.intellectual approach, whateverits merits, has nO,t been enoughto make Christians out of most'of us. To Christianize a genera­tion in today's world needssomething more radical-like di­rect experience of God andChristian communities.

God as we have come to knowit in our lives, our own experi­ence and that of our people. Butone cannot see God, or projectany image of God. Only mankindcan really offer us the imageof God. We call God Father,because in the experience of par­enthood, male' and female, wecan sometimes recogni2ie not theverbal explanations but ,the veryexperience of the creativity ofGod.

Yet the quest for this experi·ence is badly hampered by thehistory of sin. If parenthood, au­thorship, authority, in our worldis charatecized by bullying, thenGod is only glimpsed as the big­gest, most arbitrary bully of all.If parenthood and authority arc'characterized by reluctance toshoulder responsibility, unwill·ingness to make judgments and

,decisions and uncertain~y aboutthe worth of traditional values,then God can only be experi­enced as terribly absent or dead.It can really only be· when par­enthood and authority are in thepattern of the householder whoconfidently brings out of thestorehouse both old things andnew, that God will be alive inHis people as a creative forcesummoning human persons togrowth in that freedom by which'they do not threaten one an­o,ther.

Christian GuaranteeFor Christians, the guarantee

that this is possible at all is inthe experience of the resurrec­tion of Christ-the experienceof the rebirth of the believer,when his capacity for perceptionof the world explodes ,into awholly new realm of possibili­ties.

In the experience of the resur­rection of Jesus, the believer'opens his eyes, and it dawns onhim for the first time that Godis like Jesus, that in thi~ manwe can really see the image ofGod faithfully reflected an,d thatthis offers us a new style bothof fatherhood and of sonship.It offers a radically changedagenda for this history of theworld we, have yet to shape.

But eadi generation and eachperson is ,at OIice part qf thecreation that already has a his­tory of sin and redemption be­hind it" and is at the same timea new creation having to achieveits own freedom by its own re­sponse and personal growth.There is no way that thiS canhappen without tension and con­flict and struggle. The founda­tion of our response, to our hu­man vocation is to 'keep 'com­munications open with the: con­stant effort to bring to the dia­logue confidence in the truth ofour experience and inherited wis­dom, and respect for the truth ofothers.

But we know that we are cre­ated within a history that is al­ready distorted by sin, by theconsequences of evil deeds. Weare not born into a situation offresh and wide open possibilities.Our vocation to freedom, to cre·ativity like that of God, unfoldswithin a tangle of false expec­tations, inauthentic structures,and relationships, hollow utter­ances and disordered values.How does anyone grow towardsfreedom within such a context?

Adults as Bridge BuildersBridges ~ustbe built from

both sides. At least that wasthe conclusion I, came to as Iwatched the Verrazano Bridgebeing built in the early 1960sin Brooklyn; And yet, bridge­building is easiest when donefrom the more solid and' more ac­cessible side. Though many willobject to hearing it, I feel adultshave the greater responsibilityin the matter of building bridgesbetween the generations. Afterall, they have more experience

,and should have greater cOInpas­sion and broader understanding.Also, one might expect adults tobe more skilled at showing clearsigns of caring for the young.The young need verbal and non­verbal signs of affirmation: com­pliments on theIr achievements,words of affection, interest intheir ideas, and occasionally, thekind of anger that says, "I careabout you enough to be annoyedat your behavior."

The stuff out of which bridgesbetween people are constructedis human caring. The bridgesconstructed of love easily spanthe generations. I know suchbridges can span multiple gen­

'erations. I have seen teens andelderly persons rejoice in one an·other's company and peacefullydialogue about one another's val­ues. Barbara's and her dad's dia­logues were similar, only muchlouder.

If one of the goals of parish­catechetical p'rograms is to fos­ter community, catechists mustexamine anew what they can doto foster inter-generationalbridges of live. New approachesto family religious education arebut a first step. Some. par.isheshave dropped separate programsfor older adolescents, who nowattend the programs for adults.Whatever the initiatives, thereis much than can be done tobridge the spaces between per­sons w/1o need to love oneanother.'

Spanish-Speaking Children Need Help

M~LWAUKEE (NC)-Spanish­speaking students here are cry­ing for help according to SisterMercedes Rodriguez, a na-tive ofColombia and a recent graduateof the bilingual and biculturalprogram at University of Wis­consin-Milwaukee.

While enrolled in the school ofeducation in 1972, Sister Rodri­guez-a member of the Sisters ofthe Divine Savior-deoided tolook at the problems faced bySpanish-speaking children inthose Milwaukee schools whereEnglish was spoken exclusively.

At the end of her semester­long studies she reached theseconclusions and believes they re­main valid.

~Spanish-speakingpeople suf­fer from a lack of confidence inthemselves.

-Their housing affects theirchildren's education: "The chil­dren of parents who owned ahome felt secure in schools," shesaid. "Those who paid rent hadchildren who felt less secure. Thepeople on welfare felt lost, their .children included. All membersof the community were verystrong on religious beliefs butthey still haven't found a way tosatisfy those beliefs. .~Spanish-speaking pare n t s

that this demand is part of thesame tradition of protest againstthe failure of public schools torespond to the needs of poor im-

. migrants that dates back to John"Hughes.

Alternative System

In other words, the local.school board of Ocean Hill thatstirred up so much controversvin New York several years ag~is in some fashion the legitimatedescendant of John Hughes. Thelatter worthy, one suspects,would be surprised but thenpleased. His next step, of course,would be to make an im"mediatealliance with the blacks. But thatkind of political savvy went outof the American Church three­quarters of a century ago.

Mills could have pushed thepoint further if he had wantedto. Catholic schools to this dayrepresent the only major alter­native school system with localcommunity control. Indeed, if·you want to find schools in theblack neighborhoods of the largecities presided over by dulyelected school boards, chosen bythe parents of the students, youneed only go to one of the hun­dreds of Catholic schools in theinner city. Community controlis not just a myth or a utopia·that must be sought by radicalpolitical action. It is a reality inthe parochial school down thestreet..

Note that it is this same com­munity-controlled local school,providing an alternative forblack parents, that the JusticesBurger and Powell would dear­ly like to put out of businessbecause, as the latter has sug-"gested, they are imposed on peo­ple by the constraints of ecclesi­astical discipline. Nativists havechanged all that much since thedays of John Hughes.

Still AliveI don't blame NicOlaus Mills

for saying merely that JohnHughes' community - controlledschools are a past experiencewhich has "not only much toteach us about the educationaland political accountability of"schools but a history that en­courages a community controlmovement suited to the present."He's absolutely right, of course:

. and why should it occur to himthat Hughes' community-con­trolled schools are still alive andwell in Harlem, th~ South Sideof Chicago, and other inner citydistricts around the country?Most Catholic liberals and nota_ few of those great visionarieswho preside over Catholic edu­cation are unaware of this aspectof Catholic schools.

On the contrary, in most lib­eral Catholic circles John Hughesis a villain for starting Catholicschools, and one suspects thatmany Catholic educational ad­ministrators, being barely ableto read and write, have heardonly vaguely of John Hughesand not at all of the currentcommunity-control movement.

Or, as my friend, Peter Rossi,used to put it, there are a lotof ironies in the fire.

" It is getting increasingly difficult to tell the playerseven if you have a program. John Hughes was a truculent,ab.Ie, fierce, charismatic bishop (and then archbishop) ofNew York in the middle of the last century. He was alsoin his declining years appar­ently able to put away the"creature" with the best ofthem. He organized a Cath­olic political party (which lost),set up the parochial schools as aresponse to the nativism of thepublic schools of his day, and,

Religion TeachersMost Innovative

RACINE (NC)-Jesuit FatherJohn Swartz believes most in­novation in education is spurredby religion instructors, and thattheir developments in multi­media techniques sel a good ex­ample for other types of educa­tional programs.

Father Swartz, of Youngs­town. Ohio, participated in asummer institute on "Man To­day to Christ" recently at Sienacenter here.

Sponsored by the Milwaukeearchdiocesan office of religiouseducation, the two-week seminarwas attended by I '60 Religious,clergy and laity from Wisconsinand eight otller states. FatherSwartz, teacher, author, lectur­er and communications special­ist, said in an interview thatreligious educators are expectedto take the lead to innovate be­cause "they have so much atstake in the Church today."

He is convinced that modernmedia techniques being used bycatechetical instructors will in­fluence those involved in otherareas of the teaching profession.He cited effective use of films,slides. records, posters, maps,sound trucks and other creativeskills.

when told during a nativist riotthat the churches were in dangerof being burned, responded bysnapping, "Whose churches?"

In most of the "liberal" in­terpretations of American Cath­olic history, Hughes emerges assomething of a villain-a. hot­tempered, unpolitic leader of theChurch Belligerent, if not theChurch Berserk. The last thingin the world you would expectis to find Hughes looking Ijkea hero in an article written fromthe radical perspective in a left­wing journal.

Still, Nicolaus Mills, in an ar­ticle "Community Schools:Irish, Italians and Jews," in arecent issue of "Society," makesa hero out of Hughes - alongwith the Jewish communityschool leader Julia Richman andthe Italian Leonard Covello. AI"guing for the legitimacy of blackand Latino demands for localcommunity control, Mills shows
