Birth Control and Public Policy

Ruckus in Illinois Focused

push ahead with a controlcr

sial tas paid birth control pro-gram

The plan called for state

funds to be spent to providebirth control information and

devices upon request to anv

public welfare recipient witha spouse or child

In the melee that followed,both side* trundled out argumenu of morality and publicpolicy to buttress their postlions When the dust clearedMaremont was out as chairman and Illinois had a tax-

paid birth control programIn ita final version the pro-

gram was restricted to mar-

ried women on relief livingwith their husbands The orig-inal plan also would have aidedunmarried women and marriedUl, men not living with theirhusbands.

NATIONWIDE, what is thelaw on birth control’ Whereelse besides Illinois are theretax-paid birth control pro-grams? Where has there beenor is there likely soon to beagitation lor spending publicfunds for contraceptive purpoles’

On th. federal level, the pic-ture is deceptively simpleFederal law bans distributionit contraceptives and btrlh con-

trol literature through themails and by common earnerIt also prohibits import ofsuch material.

But court rulings have ef-fectively altered the impact ofthe*, laws. The result Is that tosecure a conviction an inten-tion to use the materials il-legally must be established.

IN OTHER respects the fed-eral government's role Is a

subject of controversy. While

some urge government spon-sorship of birth control re-

search and programs throughforeign aid, others violentlyoppose such involvement.

This year the Senate approv-ed a foreign aid bill that c«r-

In promulgating the Con-stitution on the Liturgy, Pop*Paul VI took the first step in

ing is to be carried out withexactitude and fidelity, the

sermons being drawn fromScripture and the Uturgy,

TIIK LATIN language is tobe preserved in the l.atinrites, generally speaking. How-

ever, use of tiie vernacular

languages may be permitted,and the regional conferencesof Bishops arc to decidewhether this is advantageousin their areas, and how muchof the mother tongue may beemployed. Tlie conferences

must also approve the text of

any vernacular translationsbefore they arc used.

In vivid contrast to the rigiduniformity that has character-ised the Latin liturgy duringthe last 400 years, the council

now decrees that local or na-

tional customs, where these

harmonize with the faith, maybe admitted into the liturgy.These adaptations must like-wise have the approval of theBishops' conferences.

THE FIRST chapter of theconstitution directs the confer-

ences of Bishops to establishliturgical commissions ami in-

stitutes of Pastoral Liturgy,which will promote study sislexperimentation. In addition,liturgical commissions are to

be appointed for each diocese,or several dioceses may forma single commission. There are

to be commissions, too, for sa-cred music and sacred art.

Chapter ‘.we, which dealswith the Mass, instructs pas-tors to teach the people how

they are to take active part.A number of highly aigmfu-am

changes are made In the Maesitself Some are restorations ofancient customs, hke "the

I’rsyer of the Faithful.' a

lit any-like tntereesasan of the

congregattoa for all those in

need, which was a feature ofthe Masa until the end of theMiddle Ages.

Others are departure* fromtradition, like the permissionto use the vernacular langu-ages for the readings andfor those prayers which belongto the people, such at theGloria or the Creed.

Into this rlasa falls the per-mission for those attendingMaas to receive Holy Com-munion under the forms ofboth bread and wine In certaincase* Concelebralion of theMass by more than one priestis permitted on certainoccasions.

IN CHAPTER three thecouncil reminds Catholics thatbecause the sacraments are

signs, they also have the func-tion of teaching the faith whichthey nourish and hence thevery act of celebrating themshould have the effect of dis-posing men to receive thegrace they confer in a fruitful

way.

Dealing with the sacramen-tals, the constitution saysthese are signs which of them-selves do not give grace, but

signify the spiritual effectswhich are obtained throughthe Church's intercession withGod. Included would be suchthmgs as blessings, particularprayers, sscred images, re-

ligious objects, and so on.whose function Is to disposeChristians to receive the chieffruits of the sacraments

The mother tongue may beused in the rites of all sacra

menti and sacrament all. even

for the socalled "form" or es-

sential words. The rite of mar-

riage in particular Is to berevised to bnng out the graceconferred by this sacrament

•nd the duties assumed by hus-band and wife Wedding cus-

toms and ceremonies in vogue

among certain people*, if theywe not un Christian, may be

inoori*cited In the marriage

rite, st the dierrrtton of theBishops' conferences

Anew and mar* uniform

cerrowmy far the profnamon ofvows by religious men and

women is to be prepared andtlie burial rite Is to be revisedto express more clearly the

character of Chriatian death•» a participation in Christ’svictorious passage to HisFattier.

CHAPTER FOl'R deals withthe dally prayer known as "theDivine Office" contained in the

Breviary. Priests and mem-

bers of some religious orders*rt obliged to recite thisprayer every day. In view ofmodern difficulties which tendto make the Office a burdenthe council has directed thatit be completely revised. Il willbe considerably shorter andthere will be a better selectionof reading! from Scripture andecclesiastical writers.

Bishops may permit pi K<<4a

to read it in the vernacularil they find l.alin ii a serious

obstacle to successful prayer

CHAPTER FIVE is con

cerned with the Churrh'i cal-endar of significant seasons

and anniversaries intended to

celebrate the saving work ofChriat. Tlie Blessed VirginMary and the saints are givena place of honor in this calen-dar, since they are noteworthyfruiU of Christ's redemptionand examples to the faithfulof perfect Christian living.

However, because ihe featlaof the taints have tended to ba

*>, emphasized as to distractattention from the centraltheme of the calendar, the

council now directs that thefeasts of the Lord and the"proper of the time” be givenpreference over the feasts ofUi*- saints, so that the entire

cycle of the myaterie* of talva-lion may be recalled

An interesting appendix tothe chapter refers to the manyplans advanced during the lasthalf-century for stabilizing the

date of Easter ami for intro-ducing a perpetual ralendar In

to civil society. The councilgoes on record as nol beingopposed to these schemes, ao

tong as Oriental Christianshave no objection to a fixedLetter and ao king ai no

scheme is considered which

Something Happened Behind the Scenes

Failure to Vote on Jews,

Freedom Raises QuestionsBy MSGR. JAMES TUCEK

VATICAN CITY (NC) -

Whatever happened to the ecu-

menism schema's chapter*four and five dealing withChristian relations with Jewsand religious freedom?

The answers to that ques-

tion will remain one of themysteries of th* second ses-

sion of the Vatican Council.

THE SCHEMA on ecumen-

ism was introduced Nov. 18.

Grcgono Cardinal Agagianian,prefect of the Sacred Congre-gation for the Propagation of

the Faith, was presiding mod-

erator. The papal Secretary of

State, Amleto Cardinal Ci-

cognani. gave a general pre-

sentation of the schema in Ih#

name of the mixed commit-,

smn composed of the- Commis-sion for the Oriental Churches

and the Secretariat for Pro-

moting Christian Unity. Arch-

bishop Joseph Martin ofRouen. France. Wlovyed with

a presentation of the first two

chaptersOne of the speakers was Jo-

seph Cardinal Ritter of St.

1-outs. who said he was happyto hear that chapter five deal-

ing with religious freedomwould be added to the schema.

It was clear then that there

had been tome thought priorto th# introduction of th*

schema that the chaptermight not be Included

The next day. Cardinal

Agagianian announced that

there would be no further dis-cussion of the schema untilthe rrports on the other chap-ter* had been heard On*

could assume this statement

meant there had been a sug-

gestion that the presentationof some chapters should be

held up while discussion on

others continued.

THIS WkS the day that Augustin Cardinal He*. S J . presi-dent of the unity secretariat,presented chapter four on th*

relationship between Catholicsand Jews and Hishnp EmileDe Smerit of Brutes. Belgium,presented chapter five an re-

ligious liberty

Chapter four bed been com-

posed.at the insistence of th*IPte Php# John Arab nations

bad objected to It for politicalreasons and had been givenassurance* that th# text held

purely religtou* implicationsThere was a rumor, never

confirmed, that the WorldCouncil of Churches had madeit known unofficially that Itwould prefer that chapter fournot be' Included in the schema

on ecumenism for the simplereason that it did not aeem to

belong there.

Several t!.S, Bishops had a

hand In Die composition ofchapter five. Rev. John Court-

ney Murray, S J . U S. author-ity on Church-State relations,had helped In the compositionof Bishop De Smedt't master-ful speech with which the

chapter was presented to thecouncil

ON NOV. 21 a strange thing

happened The first three

chapters of the schema wero

submitted to a vote for their

general sccrptability, but

chapters four ami five were

not The council's secretarygeneral. Archbishop I’cricle

Felici, said these two chapterswould be put to a vote "with-

in the next few days."The reasons for the split

were apparent The first three

chapters stood a better chance

of passing without being -Im-periled by the less acceptableChapters four and five

Here another question was

bom Grsnted that there wist

reason for the split and for

separate votes, why put off

voting on the acceptability ofthe last two chapters’

SOME SAID the council Fa-thers did not want to vote on

the last two chapters when

they had had their texts foronly two days Here was an-

other question. Why were thetext* Vxg the first, three chap-ter* ready and printed long Inadvance, when the texts of thelast two chapters had been de-layed?

( hapter four had been readyfor almost a year, and chapterfive was said to have beensubmitted during the previoussummer months. What hadprevented their distributionuntil only two days beforotheir presentation’

Others said the two chapterswould stand a better chance ofacceptance if they were putoff for a while Hut how couldtheir chances Improve, in the

council hall at least, tf theycould not even be discusseduntil they were submitted to

the vote that would establishtheir acceptance for discus-

sion’

AT THIS POINT there was

still some hope There were

still seven working days left.Th# last two days would betaken up with celebration ofthe fourth centenary of the

Council of Trent Anotherquestion here Why take up a

valuable storking day with the

celebration of Trent when Mhad been variously celebrated

already’

Hopes soared when discus-

sion on chapter two of theschema was terminated on

Nov. 27. The oilier chaptershad been terminated after a

day or two so with Nov. 28and 29 remaining to discuss

chapter three, there was still

time to bring chapters fourand five lo a vote.

On this day. Nov. 27, It was

known that several high rank-ing prelates, some of them on

the Presidency of the Council,were pressing that the chap-ters lie brought to a vote be-fore tlir end of the session.They were given assurances

that they would be.

HY THE MORNING of Nov.29 something had happenedIvehind the scenes. Eitherthere was a meeting of the

moderator* and tbr decisionwas taken by them to,put offthe vole until thr third ses-

sion. or a similar decision hadbeen taken elsewhere

The last working day came,Dec 2 There were 13 speak

era, the last of whom wasCardinal Bea. The Cardinal,larking his usual spirit in thedelivery of his speech, thankedthe council Fathers for pass-ing the first three chapters,said he regretted that it wasnot possible to discuss th*last two chapters and pro-mised that they itould be tak-en up in the third session.

Cardinal Bea himself ex-

plained. in a departure fromthe text of his speech, that thetw-o chapters were not sub-mitted to a vote because there

was not sufficient time He was

not convincing, especially In

view of the fact that thissame day's as>emhly closed a

half hour earlier than usual.

WHOEVER WAS responsi-ble for the decision that th#two chapters should not come

to a vote, the reason for thedecision wa* still an open

question. The best answer thla

correspondent could find was

that It was considered best to

allow a period In which th*matter of the two chapterscould be aired.

It was felt that during theInterim period between th#aecond and third sessions ex-

planations could be made,doubts could be cleared and

perhaps opinions could bechanged. AU admitted that thetwo questions were importantenough for more study and dis-

cussion outside the councilhall at least, If for the presentnot inside.

Council Evaluated in Light of Inter-Faith RelationsBy DR. ROBERT McAFEE BROWN

NCITC Nnn Serrict

1 came to Rome in Septem-ber aa a Protestant observerwith buoyant optimism for theecumenical implications of theVatican Council. I leave etilla Protestant observer —withchastened optimism,but optim-ism nonetheless.

There are many reasons forecumenical optimism but a

handful must suffice.

I- THIS COUNCIL has madeit absolutely clear that ecumen-

ism is in the Catholic Churrhto stay, it may take a whilefor some Risbops to discoverwhat it means, but there is no

doubt that the vast majorityof the Fathers want to fosterecumenical dialogue Christen-dom will never be quite thesame again as a result of the

overwhelming acceptance ofchapters one and two of the

'schema on ecumenism

2 The council has made it

clear that ooe of the tasks inecumenical encounter is innerrenewal Too. many of thecouncil Fathers are preparedto go far beyond the relativelycautious schema on ecumen-ism.

They press for open ac-

knowledgment by Catholics oftheir share of guilt in the•vents that have lead to dis-unity They press for greateropportunities of common wor-

ship They are asking for re-

vision of the taws concerningmixed marriages

Recognising that there itgenulaa ecclesial reality m

Protestant corporate life, a

number of them ask we be

acknowledged as "churches,"however defective our church-

manahip may be. rather thanbe described sociologically as

mere "communities.**

3. TIIE COUNCIL has promitigated a constitution on re-

form of the liturgy that will

open new doors in the corpor-ate life of Catholics. Provision

for the vernacular, greaterparticipation by the laity,greater stress on Scripturethese and many other recover-

ies of ancient usage will trans-

form the Mass from being a

spectacle the faithful watch to

an experience in which theyshare.

And when the Church la rightin its prayer life, it will be-come more and more rightelsewhere Any renewal in in-

ner vitality and integrity la

ecumenically important.

4. TIIE COUNCIL demon-

strated that it wants to keepits understanding of the Gospelproperly focused Thu is howI interpret the vote to includea treatment of Mary within theschema on the Church, ratherthan as a separate schema

This vote was most encour-

aging in nun-Cathohrs Had thevote gone the other way. it

would have suggested to us

:h«t Manoiogicat dogma was to

cootmue t« develop in s fash-

ion independent of the rest ofCatholic Faith Itut now the un

derstanding of Mary u to heseen within the context of an

understanding of the ChurrhAnd if. at is proposed, the

new chapter has a basicallyBiblical orientation, then on

these terms Protestants must

be willing to took with fresh

eyes at the Biblical material

concerning Mary Such treat-

ment of Mary might therebydraw ui rioter together ratherthan ahowag us further apart

L THE COUNCIL demooatrated that it wished to move

beyond the onesided view of

authority that hat haunted the

Church since the First VaticanCouncil decree on papal tnlalh-btlity Nothing hat raised more

ecumenical roadblocks than the

First Vatican Council Andwhit# Vatican II does not re-

move all of them, it puts themin anew focus

This it how | interpret thefamous "five questions" voteof Oct. 30

The principle of ratiegiality, so heavily supportedby the council Fathers on thatdate, does not. of coair**, denyanything promulgated in I*7o

But it does enlarge it. give ita more significant context

Pape and Bishops have rate Inthe Church.

The ecumenical value af Unidecision u incalculable For it

lays to rust many of the fro-

iteque stereotypes of “one-manrule” that have been attributedby moat Protestants to theteaching office of the Church.

Had this vote gone the other

way, it would have meant theend, I think, of really aeriouaecumenical conversation be-tween us. For it would haveseemed to interpose the Popebetween God and man as a

new mediator of proportionsbeyond our compreheniion.

*. THE COUNCILshowed us

the manifest concern of theBishops for the state of theworld.

This waa not containedin anything the Bishops com-

pleted —and the actual "re-sults" thus far are meagerbut in tile spirit and content

of many of the interventionsmade on the council floorAgain and again there was an

exciting and prophetic qualityin these utterances.

1 The council made it clearthat Hi members wanted tohear what the nonCatholic ob-server* thought I had no ideathat our presence would betaken as seriously aa it was

Particularly during the discus-sion onecumenism, it was ap-parent that many Bishopswanted to know what Protes-

tant reactions were to state-

ments in the schema aboutProtestantism, and wanted to

solicit Protestant opinions on

how the schema could be improved

». THE COUNCIL demon

atrated that the great majorityM the Fathers favor a clear-cutstatement on religious libertyaa a right that belongs to allmen

It it encouraging to dis-

cover that virtually to a man

the American hierarchy willbeck Lbii proposal Here is the

piece where the American

Bishops eta its! will, maketheir moat significant coatnbu-tioo to the entire council

But it la at this point that the

optimism i have been describ-ing mutt he modified for not

all 11 well m Vatican City andnot all was well within St.Peter's. Since genuine ecumen-ical exchange demands frank-»«*. it is important to cito

some reasons why the councildid not at every posat fosterbetter ecumenical relationsHere, then, are a few of them

I. NOTHING the council willdo will have mar* immediateeffect <« the ehmato of Cato-•hr Prote«lam relation

> thana strong statement on religiousliberty

The Fathers were presentedwfto such a statement, andthey harked eway from it, fadihg to approve it as a basis(or discussion That may eeema harsh way of putting it. Buta way of putting it that may heeven truer is likewise evenharsher

For it |g difficult to avoidthe eonriutvon that a minority•itotn the council that did not

want discussion at religiousbhdctytof toe J«nj wat able

to thwart the manifest will ofthe majority.

It was heart-rending to ace

all the strong voices of thecouncil apparently powerless in

the face of this. I add that Iam sure the setback is onlytemporary; and that the next

session will deal with the mat-

ter forthrightly. Lay Catholicsmust prod their Bishops tomake sure they do. But I can-

not disguise my disappoint-ment that ways were not foundto do so now, when to do so

would actually have helped so

much.

2. THE COUNCIL has twofinished pieces of work theliturgy constitution and the

communications decree. Thefirst Is magnificent The latteris very disappointing It doesnot really come to grips with

the world of television, radio

and cinema. It has nothingfresh to say.

Worse, it has many implica-tions that can be interpretedto give apparent support to

censorship, management ofnews. Catholic cultural ghet-tos. an overly protective-ariltilde toward young people, andso on. 1 have found scarcelyany council Fathers who are

happy about it. But it standsas half of the rouncil’t achieve-ments to date.

3. EVEN THOUGH ecumen-ism is here to stay, it u clearthat there U far from 1 com

mon mind about what thatmeans There are enoughspeeches suggesting that 11

merely means getting Protes-tants to "return" to Rome, to

suggest that a lot of work

atiil needs to be done in this

area.

The notion of "return" does

not mean dialogue but mono-

logue.Ecumenism must mean

a genuine reaching out fromboth sides, a mutual contribu-tion and mutual forgiveness,an endeavor to walk togetheron anew path, not knowing ex-

actly where the path will lead,but believing that the risk isworth taking since the HolyGhost presides over the whole

venture.For many Bishops, this will

be for a tong time, a strangeworld.

Many of the faithful

may not yet know that theworld even exists. The confus-ions betrayed in some of the

council speeches are likely tocloud the ecumenical atmo-

sphere. and it is better to anti-cipate this problem than to

pretend that it will not reallyexist.

4. IT IS ALSO dishearteningto discover how a few people,very much a minority, ran

thwart the will of the majority,and thus slow down the pace i.fthe Church's reform of itself.Although 80" of the Fathers,for example, gave support to

the notion of roHegiabty. thosewho do not accept the principlecontinue to assume that nothing has been decided, and thatin rejecting collegiality theyare more properly enlightenedthan the other 80

What is disturbing is thstthese people are people whowield great power And waysmust he found to express the

• ill of the majority without

simply waiting for a tot offunerals.

But it must always be re-

membered that the council isnot over. Us major decisionsand constitutions are still to

come.

If religious liberty re-ceived a slight set-back this

session, it will be adopted next

session, and so will the state-ment on the Jews. Nobody,sensing the temper of the coun-

cil, could doubt that.

In North Carolina, bills havebeen introduced (and defeated)

providing for stenluation ofunwed mothers and making

the birth of children out of

wedlock a criminal offense.

THE QUESTION of birthcontrol and publie policy in-

volves not just one but twobasic issues. Thefirst is wheth-

er the publie authority should

prohibit or regulate contracep-tion The second is whether

the state should positively pro-

mote birth control through

tax paid programs

On the first point there exists

a difference of opinion among

Catholics All would agrre that

tome legal regulation is de-

sirablr. and in this they would

probably be joined by non-

Catholics A case in point are

laws which bar vending mach-ine sales of contraceptives or

require birth control informa-

tion to be correct and non in-

jurious to health.

The difference or opinion en-

ters when it becomes a ques-

tion of banning the sale of

contraceptives or the practiceof artificial birth control.

Many Catholics argue againstsuch laws, holding that they

bring the state into an area

of human life where it hasno competence or right to in-

tervene, and that because suchlaws are widely disregarded

even where they exist theycontribute to an atmosphere ufdisrespect for all law.

REGARDING positive state

action to promote tax paidbirth control there is gen-

eral Catholic agreement thatsuch programs should be op-posed.

Gov Richard J. Hughes ofNew Jersey prevented the ar-

gument cogently last Maywhen, in reply to a minister

acting at spokesman for a

county Planned Parenthood

group, he commented;

“In the tree of public policy,the requirements of civic har-mony would suggest an accom-modation which protects .the conscience of its ritiiccu ofdifferent convictions '*

Council AchievementThe actuality of the II Vatican Coun-

cil, the second session of which has justconcluded, has altered the preconcep-tions that many held as to what an ecu-

menical council would be. Based on theformer widely-accepted image of theChurch's supposed monolithic character,most non-Cathollcs and many membersof the Church expected the council to beshort in duration, with little dlacuaslon or

debate, with almost unanimous assent ofthe council Fathers to propositions set be-

fore them by the preparatory commis-sions.

THE FACT THAT things did notturn out this way at all, that the Church'sBishops came to Rome with many verydefinite and well thought-out ideas, thatthey were anxious to participate In a

meeting of ijiinds with their colleagues,has totally refuted the old prejudice ofunthinking unanimity of opinion in theChurch. The splendid old patristic dic-tum, "Unity in necessary things, freedomin matters of doubt, and in all thingscharity,” has been shown to apply in a

very special sense to the Church and itsleaders.

The council's greatest accomplish-ment thus far, an accomplishment whichwas net legislative at all, has been to

demonstrate clearly to the world tha mar-

velous synthesis of unity and diversitythe Church possesses, as well as the un-

swerving determination of Its hierarchyto adapt the Church to our age withoutsacrifice of principle, and to manifest thedeep concern and responsibility theChurch feels not only for all Christiansbut for all men.

SOME DISAPPOINTMENT has been

expressed that more of the agenda wasnot completed, that nine months abe tointervene before further discussions takeplace and further decisions are made.Such a view is short-sighted and fails to

take into consideration the fact that theChurch always acts with long term ob-

jectives in mind. It Is far better to ex-

tend the council over several sessions or

even over several years if it will mean

the promulgation of decrees which repre-sent the mature thought and discussionof the entirecollege of Bishops.

A solid basis for future decrees hasnow been laid in committee, in formaldiscussion and debate. The committeeswill now have ample opportunity to re-

write their agenda and prepare for the

resumption of discussions in September.By following the prudent policy of "Makehaste slowly," the council Fathers are re-

fashioning the Church's policy accordingto the minds of John XXIII and Paul VI.

Irresponsible PresentationIn these days of expert documentary

presentation on television, programs oftenacquire an authority to which they are

not entitled. "I saw It on television," is a

phrase used to establish the absolutetruth. Even legally, this credibility of tel-

ecasts is recognized. Less than six monthsago. the Supreme Court in Rideau r.

Lou iaiana reversed a murder convictionin Louisiana because of the erroneous im-pression created by a telecast of the de-fendant supposedly admitting the crime.

WITH THIS DANGER possible. It is

necessary to protest a telecast of two

weeks ago in which the theology of sinand responsibility was badly mishandled.What is even more reprehensible, the

same program presented a priest as break-

ing the seal of the confessional not once

but at least twice and perhaps thres times

in the course of a one-hour show. The

impact of misrepresentation of the Sacra-ment of Penance must have given mil-lions of people something to wonderabout.

The tastclessncss of presenting a

penitent in the confessional is surely be-

yond question. There has been drawnabout the confessional a circle of silenceand secrecy in order to re assure the tim-

id, the nervous, the remorseful penitent.

This lamentable presentation was enoughto shock unwarrantedly many of thosewho were watching.

To have the confessor rush to the

rectory and retail an account of the con-fession to his pastor was disturbing be-

yond meaiure. To have the same con-

fessor attempt to openly exculpate an in-nocent person on the basis of recogni-tion within the confessional was unfor-givable

FOR THOSE SEEKING a basis to

avoid confession, thu telecut presentedan admirable rationalisation. For thoseanxious to decry the sacrament alto-gether. the telecast was ideal Asa finaltouch, the lawyer for the defen.-* an-

nounced in principle that he Intended to

ignore the “privilege of confessional”which is accorded by law as well u bynature itself. Then the lapsed priest wasgiven no chance to redeem himself ifUus were possible by a refusal to testi-

fy Instead, the adulterous murderer ad-

mitted the crime and deprived the priestof defending the seal in public

It Is necesury to protest against thu

irresponsible presentation of the untrue

u true. Nowhere on record is there anyevidence that the seal of confession hasbeen broken.

Mr. Hoover's SpeechRecently, a great American FBI

I'meclor J. Edgar Hoover mads a

speeefe at the national CYO conventionin New York City that may be read withthoughtfulness and deep considerationHo deplored the dangerously indulgentattitude towards crime, filth and corrup-tion. which, he says “has increased alarm-ingly in the past six years" (.As if wedidn't know!)

HE APPEALED for a more realtlitlcattitude towards the punishment and re-

habilitation of criminals. He attributedthe decline in morality, in great pert, to

the type of entertainment which Ameri-cans are being fed by motion pictures,television and newsstands.

He noted wbat seems to be a nation-al contradiction: the appearance on school

campuses of communik spokesmen underthe guise of academic freedom while thebelieving American is forbidden to usethe same public school forum to expressbelief in God.

Mr. Hoover's warnings should be

heeded. Having dedicated his life to his

country, hiving raised his organizationto such high standards, having access tothe heart-beat of America, hts conclusionsare worthy of attention. Never does Mr.Hoover allow us to forget that the great-est threat to our American way of life iscommunism.

IF HIS WORDS are to mean any-thing. then there must be conviction on

the part of every American that a nation-al war against crime and criminals mustbe waged at every level, that our courtsmust recognize the dangers to our Amer-ican way of Ufa and administer justicefor the protection of society.

It may be more dramatic to use mil-itary wca|>ons against an enemy but even

though it is less dramatic to fight it withtruth, honesty, good citizenship, never-theless. it must be fought and the battlemust be won A speech is a speech, but itcan also be a motivation for action Let'shope that Mr Hoover s warning receivesattention.

John the BaptistSends Messengers

By FRANK J. SHEED

In • house in Capharnaum.■ massage bad come to OurLord that HU mother and HU

breitgcn were outsIda. HU an-

swer that anyone who didHla Father’s will was Illsbrother and sister and mother

sounded like a public dis-

owning of them all.

Out Lady did not tee Himthu time. When she had askedHim |p work HU first mtrsciaat Cana, she knew she was

ending their earthly life to-

gether. He waa the world's

property now; she had countedthe cost.

THERE IS ONE other cous-in of Our Lord, of far more

importance than any of thosewho had been brought up withHim. John the Baptist hsd

baptised Our Lord and bad

told uf the sign by which Uodbad shown that the Carpenterwas Son of God and Lamb ofGod.

Later Herod arrested andimprisoned him. The follow-

log March, John was beheadedto plepse Herodiaa.

The principal object In im-prisoning tha Baptist was to

withdraw him from circula-

tion. because of hu attackson the King’s marriage. But

some of Hu disciples were al-lowed to vUit him. and he was

kept Informed about what OurLord was doing and aaytng.

Because of the small con-

cern the Evangelista havaabout the order of things, we

cannot be certain Just at wbatpoint in the 10 months of thaBaptist's Imprisonment two ofbU disciples arrived to ques-Uoo Our Lord.

THRIR message was:"John the BaplUt hath sent us

to thee, saying: Art thou hethat art to come: or look wa

for another?" Was this the

Baptist's own question, or hsdhU disciples been botheringhim to the point where be said"Go and ask him yourselves?”

The second seems the more

probable. John bad aeeo thesign from God, and uttered his

own certainty without theshadow of a doubt It U hardto think that even In the longsilences of the fortress doubtshad been born la him, where-

as wa know that the disciples

who remained with him were

troubled by the lurceia of Uia

new Prophet.In the weeki before John'i

arrest hi* disciples bad toldhim that all men were cominito Je*ua. John answered thatJeaua was Uie Bridegroom,himself only the Bridegroom'sfriend. A month or so laterJohn's disciples Joined withthe Pharisees In criticisingJesus because Hit disciplesdid not fast as they did OurI-ord answered that while the

Bridegroom waa there, peopleshould feast: fasting couldwait tUI after He had gone.

Whether or not the questionnow raised waa the Baptist'sown, there waa a problem.Jesus had srorkrd miracles,aod given profound morel

teaching. But He bed so fargiven no hint of wbat He was

going to do.

John had spoken of Him as

separating the chaff of laraclfrom the wheat, but there was

as yet not much evidence ofthis. The Forerunner mightwell have wondered what ex-

actly he had (ore-run.

Hate Groups Due Back

The Question Box

Bankruptcy Losses

Worry BusinessmanQ. Several years ago a busi-

ness venture of mine felled.Under the National Bank-ruptcy Act, my property was

seised, distributed propor-tionately among my credi-tors although none of themreceived the full amount owedthere —and I was then legallydischarged from any future

liability for debts then exist-

ing Since then I have been

fairly successful in a secondbusiness venture. Am I now

obliged In conscience to reim-burse my former creditors for

any losses thry sustainedthrough my bankruptcy?

A Theologians are common-

ly agreed that whenever in-

solvency ts the result of eco-

nomic conditions or buxines,harsrds which the debtor couldnot have foreseen ami for

which he ix not morally re-

sponsible. he may take advantsge of the civil law pro-visions for bancruptcy andconsider the legal cancellationof his debts as exoneratinghim from any future ob-

ligations in Justice toward hiscreditors

siderable confusion ever ilnco

the new privilege wax grantedby Fope John in the fall of1959, let's start from the be-

ginning and sctlle the matter

once and for all.

The basic law Involved here

ti contained in Canon 1232 of

the Code of Canon Law: the

Vigil of the Nativity, Dec. 24,ts a day of fast and abstinence

(paragraph 2). The new dimen-sion is contained in a decreeof the Sacred Congregation ofthe Council In 1959, entitled

“Faculty of anticipating the

obligation of fast and abstin-ence on the Vigil of the Nativ-ity” whose essential clause is

that Dope John "has deigned

ti grant all the faithful of theCatholic world the favor of

anticipatin': the obligation of

fad and abstinence from the24th to the 23rd day of De-

cember."

Note, however, that Canon

1232 remains intact; the Holybather's action did not changethe basic law: the obligation

is still attached to Dec 24 The

new "faculty" given to all

Catholic* simply means that

now they may fast on the 23rd

in,trad of Christmas F.ve if

they so wish Each person can

use or not use this favor ac-

cording to his own reasons andpersonal decision No permis-sion is required of Bishop, pas-

tor or confessor.

Hence, this year, sine#Christmas falls on Wednesdaythe law of fast and abstin-

eece iv (till attached to Tues-day but the fsiitiful on theirown decision may fast on Mon-day if they o d>-«ire The law

can be fulfilled on either dayHence, from the standpoint of

church law. it really makes no

difference whether your party

is scheduled for Monday or

Tuesday

By BISHOP PULTON J. SHEEN

Do you worry" about otherpeople their diseases, their

hunger, their poverty? Djcsyour conscience ever disturb

you about not sharing with thepoor of the world? Put to-

gether the following contrast-ing facts and you will bebothered.

The average American fam-

ily throws away 750 tin cans

a year, while many houses inLatin American slums are

made of tin cans! Within 40

years (up to 1914). the U. S.used 40 r

; of the natural re-

sources of the earth, which ismore than the rest of theworld used during 4,000 years.Each day the average Amer-ican uses 10 times more of theearth's natural resources (notincluding food) than is usedthroughout the rest of theworld.

The average American eats

4.66 pounds of food a day; theaverage Indian eats 1.2 pounds■ day (and this is mostlystarch). Americans throwenough food into their garbagepails each year to feed 600million Chinese for three daysa week

The average funeral of anadult in the United States costs

$1,450. Ten thousand people in

the world die daily of starva-tion.

MANY CONSCIENCES are

pectus of anew college lor-mitory and was asked to con

tribute $50,000 The marblefloors, the elaborately deco-rated bathrooms, the kitchen-ettes on each floor made herconsider whether she was con-

tributing to the excessive display of wealth of those whoshould be signed with Christ'sCross.

demise of the magazine Sot mlOrder he finds "such a slua-tion in as prosperous a

Church as the American a littie short of disgraceful " He

Communication Schema

Termed InadequateBy JOSEPH A. BREIG

In the eyes of many Fathersof the council, the documenton TV. radio, movies and thepress ("Instruments of SocialCommunication”) was a harmless collection of pious plati-tudes

It boiled down to saying thatthe Church welcome* new in-ventions in communications,fa vor* their use in spreadingthe Gospel, and exhorts

editors, publishers, reporters,writers, actors, directors andproducers to do good, avoidrvil, and remember that some

people are children

Kev Edward Duff, SJ . ofAmerica magazine remarkedthat the Fathers must havevoted "tn a moment of fatigueor a fit of inattention

"

IN 4IKW OF the incaleulable importance ol communi-

cations In our day, it is a greatPity that things turned out as

they did It is a shame thatthe counrtl did md have before it a statement filled withnew light and inspiration forcommunications people ami

for those with whom, they com

muntratr

Father Duffa dissatisfactionwith the document centered

on the point that it did not suf

ftciently define freedom of the

presa and protect It from un-

due government Interference,and therefore was a turningback from the teaching ofJohn XXIII

My objection was even

broader. The grave inade-

quacy on the topic of com-

munications seemed to me tostem from three cause.*

• There is failure to realizewhat tremendous moral prob-lems. aside from sex morali-ty are involvrd

• The council Fatherx are

not rommumration* experts,nor are they philosophersabout communications, and inthe document I could find no

evidence of any effort to eon

suit the expert*•

mumcation* t* in Its infanry

Some deep and basic thinkingis being done, and we may

look forward to works whichwill give real insights; butthose who prepared the coun-

cil document were obviouslynot In touch with these think-

ers.

FOR A TRULY Importantcnunril statement on commu-

nications, wc must wait for de-

velopment of a theology andphilosophy of communications.And these will come from a

combination of experience andtrained, thought The theolo-gian and philosopher must

peer into the nature of com-

munications; must discover,theoretically, what are theright root purposes of com-

munications Then they must

subject their theories to thetest of experience

Notes Importance

Of Decency PledgeFollowing Is lb* Itxl of Archbishop BoUnd't Irllrr on lb*

d***nty pUdgt to b* rt+i M *ll Mints in lb* Ntu*rk Arch.Hocos* Smsdsy.

Etch year on tho Sundayfallowing the Feast of tho Im-maculate Conception the faith*ful of the Archdiocese ofNewark In union with theirfellow Catholics throughoutthe United States voice theircondemnation of Immoralityand tndecen-|cy In movingpictures andIn the print-ed word.

At the same

time theypromise to

avoid mov-

ing picturesIthat are mor-

ally offensive |and to stay away altogetherfrom places of amusement

which show them as a matter 'of policy.

A similar pledge is takenagainst immoral, indecent or

suggestive publications and

places where such literature is

displayed or sold.

THE TAKING of these

pledges each year is a remind-

er to Catholics of their per-sonal and social responsibili-ty, l.e, that they must avoid

objectionable films as occa-

sions of sin. and they must

war* and defend the youthcommitted to their car*against the moral dangers of

the objectionable moving pic-ture.

The classification of films

by the I<egion of Decency pro-vides tho practical norm* to

guide the choice of entertain-ment. We again bring to theattention of parents that a

moving picture classified a*“suitable for adults" Isnot ap-proved for children. All are r*.minded that films placed In“B" classification as "morallyobjectionable in part," are notapproved and hence ihould beavoided.

IN THE CRUSADE for de-cency in print the code of theNOD E. summarize* for allthe principles of the naturaland moral law.

All pastors should make

every effort to have an ac-

Cve, zealous committee In or-

der to realize the objectivesand ideals of the N.O.D.L

It is our duty to supportwholeheartedly and effectivelyevery legitimate effort to puri-fy the films and keep themclean.

These two revelations changed Father Tire's life from thato a scholar and teacher to tbit of a humanitarian whose charitv knows no bounds of creed or race or nationality ' There isno prohibition." he said gently, -on changing because of anemotion And he does o*»t hesitate to state that rvervone elsewould do the same thing - if they were to truly see mi.cry

But those who are wealthy do not sre the misery of the poor .

the L Sand his native Belgium - Father Pin pleads Donot waste "

"It may seem simple"

he said in hts soft, French flavoredmanner "but one has to start somewhere Mothers should teachtheir children not to waste This is something practical thateveryone can do "

• which is the ntme of hu movement) - sjill he talks in the mostpractical terms He translates the ideas of peace and brother

hood for Individuals: "We must build our bridges where we

arc."

In the case of racism, against which he has spoken fre-quently. this would mean that each individual would "respecttho differences nf the one who is different from him." Again,he pleaded, "U-t u* teach individuals to share their bread

"

("As for nations, he added, "we cannot expect philanthropyfrom them .

. .")Father Plre.is appalled at racial prejudieri as he finds

it in the U. S,, but he does not limit It to our country. "Thewhites have a superiority complex, unconsciously." he sajd."Here they base it on their technical succesa; in Europe it

items from colonization."

"May my country find the solution to its linguistic differ-ences." he said at Seton Hall, referring to the Fleimsh-Walloon

dispute in Belgium, "and may your country find as soon a*

possible the definite solution that will rrratr the absolute re-

spect of the Negroes without requiring them to imitate thewhite, implying white superiority, which is not the truth . .All men have an equal need to be respected in all that is dear

to them."

FATHER PIRE, S3, directs his international network of

‘ Villages of Ixive" from Huy, Belgium, where he lives in a

Dominican priory and supervises a staff of 12 lay people. Lo-cated at Huy, aUo. u his University of Peace, founded in 19*S0 to

world i* peace."Ills secretary, Edward F Squadrille. who is accompanying

him on hts U S lecture tour, it the person who first showed

Father Pire the plight of the refugees, back in UM9. and whenthe priest is asked about the birth of hts interest in them hequickly points to Squadrille An American officer in chargeof a DP camp on the German-Austrian bonier, Squadrille gave

a talk in Brus*elt about the plight of the aged and til refugees

left in the camps because they did not qualify under emigrationquotas Father Pire heard the talk, quickly visited Germanyami Austria to see for himself, and then launched into the

foundation of the villages »M»e of the village* is named tor

Anne Frank, another for Dr Albert Schweitzer.

Present for the Seton Hall celemooy was Ihe consul gen-

eral of Pakistan, Mohammed All. who told this writer of the

gratitude his country feels for Father Pire. "In 1960 there was

a terrible cyclone." hr recalled It left the people with nothing

Father Pire came and taught them Hew to rely on themselves

The government gave him the land to build the Island nf Peace;Father Pire gave the people hope. We are very grateful to

him."

IN TIIE If. S. only a few days when the news broke uponthe world of the aasassination of President John F. Kennedy,Father Pire compared it with the death of Mohandas Ghandi,and expressed the hope that Its lesson "That hatred leads tonothing" will have a pvychologial benefit for the world.

Father Pire carries the problems of the world and its peo-ple,with him constantly. His conversation is warm and gracious,hut always haunted by the

urgency of his ideas for world peaceand brotherhood, lie suffers severely from insomnia, and one

can only Imagine that the specter of the misery which toucheshim so deeply is the responsible factor.

Still, lie is an optimist about the world. “We are at thebeginning of building a fraternal world." he said "Young peo-ple more quickly become citizens of the world- than their par-ents could. My personal belief is that the world is evolving now

in that direction "

In hit address acknowledging the degree here, he put itneaily; "The pessimist* say ‘We are witnessing the pain* and

agonies which precede the end of a civilization.' The optimists—and I am among them answer: 'No. these arc the pains

of childbirth*' "

lIF, CONSIDI Its the Si VI Peace Prize, which he receivedin 19.M1, as a responsibility, which makes him and his work theproperty of a world unbounded territorially or idealogirally Headmits that he ha* always done his work without considerationof confessional differences He ha* helped the poor withoutthought of converting them to Catholicism, not considering him-self a tnissioner.

But to tho*e who confront him with the Christian's responsi-bility to bring Christ to all about him. Father Pire replies witha question. "And do i not bring Him , ?"

From the nun who *ha* preai hed constantly around .theworld. "Let us work together to relieve misery and misery will

work to unite us" such a quevtem becomes a nonsequitur.

There are wellestablished diocesan or re

A Most Appropriate

Gift For Priests At

Christmas

THE DIOCESAN CLERGY

History and Spiritualityby Msgr. Antoine-Marie

Charuc, Bishop of Namur

(Belgium), member of the

Commission of the ClergyPreparatory to the Council.

A work of vital interest, skill*

fully combining impressivetheological, canonical and

spiritual information. It is the

first it English to offer a syn-

thesis of all the questions re-

lated to the spirituality of the

diocesan clergy: the forma-

tion of the diocesan clergyfrom the Council of Trent to

the present:the Catholic teaching regard-

ing the Episcopacy and the

universal mission of the

Bishops;the "delicate question" of the

states of perfection and the

priest;the priestly spirituality in gen-

eral and the spirituality

proper to the diocesan

clergy;the patrons and models of the

diocesan clergy. We have

here the first attempt to

draw up a complete list ofdiocesan priests who have

been honored with publicveneration by the Church.

One traveler who cannot heIdentified said that “Of ISCzechoslovak Bishops validlyconserrated under the authori-ty of the Holy Sec. only threeare able to govern their diocese*. In Bohemia and Mora-via. whose populations total

some 10 million persons andpredominantly Catholic, thereIs no longer a single CatholicBishop.

"THREE BISHOPS functionIng in a restricted way in

other parts of the country are

not permitted to leave theirdioceses. Therefore, for thelast 13 years, the Sacramentof Confirmation has not beenadministered in Bohemia and

Moravia"Should any of the faithful

travel to a place where theybelieve the sacrament mighthe received, they themselvesand the Bishop or delegatedpriest would be severely punished.

"Bishops are not permittedto assign priests as they see

fit. but must have prior per-

mission from the communist

nuthorities, who see to it thatthe most competent priestsare relegated to small villagesand that others handicappedby illness or age are as-

signed to big city parishes.

"PRIESTS ARE allowed to

function only as civil servants,

entirely dependent on the gov-ernment for their salariesChurch collections are forbid-den unless they are previouslyapproved by the Red aulhorities, and in these permitted

cases an accounting must bemade in every instance so that

heavy taxes may be assessed

"The communist authoritiesalso decide who is to be ad-

mitted to tile six remaining

seminaries of all denomina-tions Only two of these sem-

inaries are Catholic. Cand.dates from families mnsid

eted too religious' are banned

outright, and the number ofthose admitted is artlftcally restricted

"The shortage of clergy con

tmucs because many priests

are compelled to work Inbuilding industries, mines endfactories, with the result that

the few priests who are permtttesl to pursue their rightful celling often must lookafter several parishes arid, as

a consequence, are unable to

cope with existing necsls"The Red rulers also put

obstacles m the way of par-ish worn It often happens thatMasses must be said at

hours when most par-

ishioners are- unable to at-tend. There are known in-

stances when prleata havebeen compelled to ennouncofrom their pulplta that workcomes before Sunday duty.

"ALL PRIESTS are con-

stantly watched by the aecret

police. They may not even ad-mlniater the Sacrament of Ex-treme I’nction without produc-ing a medical certificate or a

statement from the sick per-son In many hospitals no

priest is permitted to enter, ifhe Is dressed as a priest.

"All properties of religiousorders have been confiscatedoutright. Tile religious mu>t

“No religious Instruction is

...

BOSTON (HNS)—The selfconfessed "tone-dear* leaderof an "aging" quartet admit-ted here that his baritone

voice was countenanced in the

group only to prevent crowdsfrom walking out or throwing

things at thr singers.This extreme 't-sell up

proach was used uy RichardCardinal Cushing of Boston,as he advertised in his weeklycolumn the fact that the quar

let of which he is a memberwould appear at a benefit

The benefit will assist Ken

operated by the archdiocese at

BrightonCardinal Cushing assured

readers of The Pilot, archdlo-

ceaan weekly, that hit quartet

wouldn't sing too long—"justenough to have the scenery

changed .. "

According to Cardinal Cush-ing. three members of the

quartet "are getting along Inyears and they are not so goodat they used to be.” By ap-

pearing in public they haveal’iwn singular courage, he

went on. The leader is "lone-deaf and unable to read a

musical note" and was permit-ted into the act "so that theaudiences before which we ap-pear would not walk out or

throw things.”The quarD-t it made up of

Preparing for Christmas

Can Bea PrayerBy RUTH W. REILLY

In our house on the firstd»y of Advent we bring forth

our little wooden manger andplace it. empty and bare, ontop of the buffet. For a back-drop we use a scene of Beth-lehem. which unrolls to a sireof about two by four feet. Itis painted in blues and greens

with glints of gold. Holy can-dles stand guard at either endof the buffet to complete thesimple display.

In the top drawer of thebuffet is a box of straw. Foreach weekday Mass attended,or special good deed perform-ed. the doer is privileged to

ADVENT USUALLY finds mo

with plenty to do and two

resolutions. First, to try to livethe spirit of the season byplanning a special few min-

utes for prayer and spiritualreading in the midst o{ eachday's hurry. Second, to try'to make the physical prepar-ations for Christmas prayersin themselves.

Try to see each gift as

plsnncd for Christ, wrappedfor Him and given lo Him.Welcome each interruption as

from His hand Try to see

and use waiting in line at a

shopping center register as a

time given you to think aboutChrist and Christmas as wellas to slip your foot out of

your shoe and wiggle yourtoes.

Smile when a shopping tripproves fruitless, when yourdollar won't stretch ss far as

you'd like it to. when yourhat blows off as you hurryalong loaded down with pack-ages.

Keep your heart open to

smile on others, to giva andreceive kindness Thsnk Godfor the wonder of the firstsnowfall, for the confidencesof your children, for finding ■

"Just right" gift Try to getin tune with each day’s events•s they happen

Smile because Christmas Iscoming. The Birthday of

Christ.Smile because It is through

Mary's fiat and the first

Christmas that Christ now

lives in us!

WHEN I THINK of the Jew-ish people waiting thousandsof years far the coming of theMessiah and of Mary carry-

ing His growing Rody withinher for nine months. I rever-

rntly thank God for the giftof living in these times

I shall never get used to the

incomprehensible fact that in

ENGLAND PIED PIPEREva K. BeU. P. J. Kenedy.ISO page*. $2.50.

The story begins in the late1700’s in Claremont, N.H., withthe introduction of a colorful,strong-headed Episcopal ministcr called Daniel Barber Heand his son, Virgil, shared a

close relationship. Even at a

very young age, Virgil showedgreat maturity, curiosity anddeep thought.

Daniel used to say: "001 tnthe root of it. Follow that ideaand see how it develops." It Isinteresting to notice how thispersonal philosophy shapedVirgil's later life.

VIRGIL, became a ministerbut his father planted in hismind the seed of curosity re

garding Catholicism Virgil be

came so disturbed, that hrproceeded to learn all he couldabout the religion

Aa God would have it Virgilentered a monastery and tookhis son with him. His wife.Jcrusah. entered the Visitation

convent In Washington withthree of their daughters Theirfifth child, jstill an infant,was cared for by Mrs. Kenwick, the mother of the pne*twho brought them into theChurch.

One of Father Barber's

assignments brought him to

Claremont where he succeededin bringing relatives and manyof his father's former Episcopal congregation into thechurch Father Barber, wholoved to teach, was completelyat home with the Indians inNew England where, in addi

tion to teaching religion, he

taught all age groups to' readand writa.

HIS FAME SPREAD. Whenword of hi* visits reached a

town the church would oftenbe filled to overflowing wifbpeople of many faiths

The author does such an ex

unusual story that the reader1* reluctant to act it aside.

Young Advocates will learnmuch about early parochialschools and the conversion ofthe Indians. One interesting

part of the story deals withthe Indians' desire to becomeChristians end the reluctanceof some to forfeit some oftheir supersititlons.

The book will help you see

how the power of one Indivi-dual with deep beliefs, convic-tions and God'* grace can do*o much. Virgil can truly b-

You Feel You Know Him Because...

By SUSAN DINER

Do you know anyone youhaven't met?

You go to school, play or

work with people or aven livewith them and chance* arethat you know them ratherwell The more you knowabout them, the better youlike them; though that isn't

always so.

In catechism, the mom you

learn about God the better youknow Him. the more you love

Him, and yet, you’ve never

met Him face to face.

WHEN POPE John XXIIIdied many people who weptsaid they felt as though he wasa personal friend They became hi* friends though television, newspaper* and maga

tine*.

The same was true of Prraident Kennedy People fell hr

was their friend. Again tele-vision, radio and printbrought him into everyone'!home.

These are a few example*.What about the person you’venever heard speak. Perhaps.Young Advocates, it’* someoneyou tee weekly in church, or

walking down the street or

waiting for a bus. Perhaps lt’»a teacher In school or a stu-dent in another class.

At any rate you probablyhave seen him *o frequentlythat you feel you know him.tt *sn lit a wonderful feelingwhen you finally spoke to thatother student anil got to knowhim’

Sometimesa friendship can

spring from a chance meet-ing How many time* have youbeen afraid to talk to a per

son and after you did youteahied all the thing*vou have tn common’

THEN THERE’S the personyou’ve spoken to or wrote to

bui never met, such as a pen-P«l

At the Advocate, one speaksto many different people over

the phone without meetingthem. I remember one personin particular that I talked withat least a dozen time*. Eachtime 1 spoke to him I got toknow him a bit better

Gnc day wc did meet and

the. the first thing I said was"It'* so nice to tee the facethat goes with the voice." Andso it was; a voice got a fare

Perhaps you’ve had a similarexperience

DOES SOMEONE you knowever talk about a friend ofhis so often that you think youknow him’ Have you met thatperson’ When you did. whatdid you think’ Did he loo*** you had Imagined he

would? Were you pleasantlysurprised?

Suppose someone had heardabout you before he met you.What kind of an impressionwould you create? Would It1* pleasant? If not, why not

start trying now to make sure

thst it will be or that the im-pression you do create la a

In Youths' Corner

This Church Is Made of BalsamBy ED WOODWARD

“I started with little things."explained Anthony Deßogatisof Belleville 'ln the seventhgrade. 1 made a rocket and inthe eighth grade I made a

model of the United Nations."This young man carefully

shaped balsam wood into a

model of anew church whichis being built for his parish.Holy Family (Nutley). enteredit in the annual Newark Arch-diocesan CYO Hobby Showand took home the best-of-show award last week.

INDIVIDUAL WINNERSare picked in several cate-

gories. but the attention todetail and skillful constructionof Deßogatis' model madethe judges feel that his was

outstanding among many fineentries.

The actual building willhave a brick exterior, a fea-ture which was simulated byDeßogatis by scratching thelines into the wood with a

sharp instrument By stainingthe wood, he was able to high-light the brick effect.

This, ami other methods ofbuilding and assembling werethought out by Deßogatis liedidn't work from a plan ofany kind, just a clipping of an

artist's rendering of the pro-posed church which appearedin The Advocate"I saw the picture in The

Advocate." he said, "and de-cided that I would like to makea model of the church for thecontest."

IT WAS THE first contestin which he has entered, but

it isn't the largest project thathe has undertaken "1 madea model of an atomic powerplant for our achool's sciencefair last year," remarked the16-year-old Belleville HighSchool student "That was thebiggest thing I have ever

tried."As for the future, "I'm in-

terested in studying archttec-tual drawing." he pointed out

"1 would like to designthings.”

His immediate future eon

tains the same plans in minialure "The next thing I want

to do Is to design a housewithout using any plana," hesaid. "I'd like to plan It andmake the blueprints from myown ideas"

Schoolboy Athletes Take to Gyms, Prepare for Basketball Openers Dec. 13NEWARK - With football

logs at the cleaners, scholas-tic athletes have abandonedthe great outdoors for theheated gynasiums wheremany of them will open thebasketball season Dec. 13 with

an 18-gamc schedule for NorthJersey Catholic squads.

The curtain was actuallylifted Dee 7 when Delbartondebuted with a 5456 triumph

meet several challenges fortheir rankings, but each fig-ures to be among the leaders

again this year.

St. Aloysius, Roselle Catho-lic and Essex Catholic are allconsidered threats to advance(heir records from strong fin-ishes last season.

AN ADDED feature this sea-

son will be the atari of playfor two leagues the BigEight Conference and theHudson County Catholic Con-ference. The Big Eight has

State Federation Turns Down

Resolution on Prayer IssueTRENTON

- The New Jer-sey State federation of Dis-trict Boards of Education, at

a delegates' meeting hereDec 7. turned down a reaolutwo which would hare com-

mitted it to take "whatever

action necessary. Includingpressure for a Constitutional

amendment." to restore pray-rr and Bible reading to pub-lic schools

THE ACTION was not un-expected The federations ex

eculive committee in Norem

her issued an opinion opposingthe resolution The resolutionoriginated with the Cape MayCounty board of education

No exact count of the feder-

ation s vote was taken, but it

was opposed by a "tubslantial majority." according to

oOr -p-kesmanThe meeting also tabled a

resolution in support of the

Becker bill to amend the l’ SConstitution The vote was 46-31 ami the resolution cannotl>e taken up again until thenext meeting In May and thenonly at the request of a ma-

jority of the delegatesThe executive committee

said the growing diversity ol

religion within communities

made it necessary to protectthe rights of minorities and

that a constitutional amend-ment "might start a trend to-

ward linking Cburrh ami State

and resultant lessening of rrligious freedom “

It added thtt tt was op-

posed to the resolution because "no amendment could

make posvible the kind ofprogram which would not affront the feelings of some chitdren or which would pleaseall members of alt sects

"

USE OE THE Bible m connection with courses in ht»tory, literature and ethics was

approved by the rxecu

live committee, provided thatit was prevented in an "ob-jective way no* favoring anypirtieulxr sect or viewrpoint ‘It added that reading of theBible was prohibited “onlywhen done as part of organisedreligious observance or with a

view to tnloetrtnitioo of fellgiosie beliefs "

In line with this last. Garfield this week instituted a

program of stisly an the Tenv ->mmaisdmen‘s in high schoolClasses Students themselvesare conducting the program,with the teacher deciding wtietu to be discussed in eachlesson

The program has been approvssl as legal by Garfieldboard attorney Vincent p -Rigotoat Superintendent of

Schools Carl J Peeoratu saidthxt he win ,-rtyurtt reportsfrom teachers after it hasbeen In effect foe about a

mi'Bth and will then make a

report ots its effectiveness toLse hoard of rlurat.on

Coincidentally, both received theirMart from Columbia Rrcordi' artist

Mother Mary Immaculata. R.J.M ,who handles the business and promo-tional activities, explained that the

group began it* veature to raise mon-

"A deeper meaning evolved." sheobserved "After reading letters of

Hearing of the success of the Jesus

priest, the brother of one of the Sisters.When I first beard them,” Miller

says. 1 knew that by professionalstandards they were very good. Their

style was all their own and needed

no changing I volunteered my personalbarking along with the use of Colum-

Their first effort was "Joy," com-

pleted in one grueling day of hard work

tures such tunes as "You’ll NeverWalk Alone." ' Seventy-Six Trom-bones." "La Mer." and others in the

popular vem

The arrangements by musical di-

rector. Sister Jeanne D'Arc. O.P . were

so well executed that in this area.

Miller did not intrude.

"There were two reasons I advisedthem to try an album of popular mu-

sic." said Miller "The most obviousis that profits lie where there ts a

more general appeal."Mainly. 1 discovered that the Sis-

ters are people who love to taugh, sing,

and enjoy life I wanted to bring out

their personality in song."Miller has invited the "Singing Sis-

ters" to make an appearance on hisTV show Dec. 30.

BOOKS

The Awakening YearsBy ANNE BUCKLEY

WINGING YOU! CHILD TO GOD byXaviw l.f'bvr*, IJ„ Uuii Pavii., SJ.

Kemdy. 17*page.

»»S.

“God is angry with you," is some-

thing that should never be said to a

pro school child. The need for love issuch a strong psychological fact oflife at age 3 to 5, say Fathers Lefebvreand Perin. that, "the fear that hisheavenly Father or Jesus no longerloves him will be as disastrous for the

child of this age as it is offensive to

God's goodness."

On the other hand, the title, “BabyJesus," is to he avoided when talkingto tots of Christ. "Only a God of great-ness ami strength corresponds com-

pletely to the aspirations of a childwho is trying to grow." say the authors.

And that is what this remarkable lit-tle book is all about understandingthe grow th of a pre school child and

grafting onto this growth, in appropri-

ately measured steps, a religiousawareness which will be a firm and

real basis for his whole spiritual life.

The result of a 10-year study under

auspices of the Center of Pedagogical

Studies in Paris, the book is the fruit ofwide psychological knowledge and deeptheological understanding But it is in-

tended for parents and preprimaryteachers (who'll have to apply them-

selves to get the most out of this some-

times awkward translation).

The fact that the ages between 3

and 3 are a fertile period of develop-ment of a child which if not utilisedcan never be recalled ought to beenough to recommend study of how

best to ulilixe it.

T here are ideas here that are notnew— a peaceful environment is im-

portant to the child, and the reverent,joyful faith of those around him will be

a major influence in his own religiousdevelopment.

There are others which, while oftenstated, bear the pointed repetitionmade here the child has a dignityof person which should be respectedand he is entitled to truth in answer

to his questions The authors caution

against making the works of God seem

like the magic of fairy tales.And there are some ideas that will

probably surprise some— the need fora period of silence, stillness, quieten-ing down" in the child's day. as a prerequisite for prayer, bearing a Bible

story, or any other religious activityIt may be a deal more difficult to un

plug the overiuaded winng of the Amrr

lean home than it would be in Francebut "... everything possible should be

done that each day the child may have

a short period of real silence filled

with thepresence of God." say Fathers

I-efcbvre and Perin.Along with such ideas Is provided

a year's program of religious formaLion, keyed to the liturgical year It

consists of specially selected and word

ed Bible stones, with recommended applications for the child, and simple bt

Occasional pe-rioda of silence,frequent contastwith nature -these are two ofthe clements in aplan for "Bring-ing Your Childto God" outinedby the FrenchJesuits, XarinLefebure andLouis Perin.

Love Is the KeyIf our leaching of religion does

not aim at revealing the love ofGod to this little baptised child,it will be seriously misleadingond unable to satisfy his deeperlongings. He will not be whollycaptivated and his religion willrun the risk of being no more

than empty adoration with no

behind it. Whenever hehears God mentioned, the child

should feel love.

The Great DebateBy JERRY COSTELLO

tfLIGION AND CASSES A .tWy• I C»l»|i Gr.l««m by Aitorew

M CtwWy IM 4 W.,g 147

There is something of inter-

est for the general reader inFather Greeley's newest book,but it is buried under a slag

load of charts, tables

and sociological shop talk.The array is so formidable

i the tables and related mat-

ter take up nearly half the

book) that the layman in

this case the non sociologist-might well be tempted to stoplooking.

No criticism of the contentis implies!; it is simply thatthe method of presentationhighly limits its appeal.

F..ther Greeley is a notedcritic of the self-critics ofAmerican Catholicism, thepurveyors of gloom and doomwho constantly lament the mdstate in which we find cur-

ative* His defense of mattersecclesiastical may be a littleglib at times In recent eol

umn* in The Advocate he dis-missed parents' worries aboutparochial school class sixesand teacher qualification asfashionable fears Inspiredlargely by a breakdown in

communication between pas-tor and parishioner. This over-

looks, I believe, some veryreal concerns about the state

of parochial education.“Religion and Career." how-

ever, deals less with opinionthan with fart, the facts in the

case being the results of a tur

vcy of the IMI graduationclasses of American univent-tiea undertaken by the Na-tional Opinion Research Cmter.

Father Greeley used the sur-

vey to investigate certainwidely-held notions about theintellectual level of AmericanCatholicism notions whichreflect unfavorably upon theChurch and her people. Amongthem: Catholics are less likelyto go to college; Catholics willnot be inclined to go into the

physical sciences; Catholics

win not be as interested in

economic activity as Protes-tants but will be more coo

erroed with security.Father Greeley's findings in-

dicate that the performanceof Catholics in these fieldsdiffers little from those of

other faiths The evtdencr prevented suggests that Catho-lics at secular or Catholicschools "can go through the

process of higher education,share the values of the Amrr

ican intellectual tradition andstill remain faithful membersof-thc Church "

The author gamely concedesthat the way is yet to be found"in which survey research ma-

terial ran be presented tn ex

citing fashion" and that “to

make matters worse. In this

particular report, the factsthat are being reported usu-

ally concern the absence ofdifference "

With this understanding anda reasonable amount of per-severance the reader inter-ested in the "great debate" on

the intellectual qualities ofAmerican Catholicism willfind something of value.

Of most interest is his essayon "The Layman in the

Church." fn 28 pages the Domi-nican theologian from theCatholic University of Nijme-geg. the Netherlands, covers a

lot of trmtory.

Father Schdlrbeeckx arguesthat the layman participates in

the apostolic mission of theChurch but not in the authori-tative aspect of this mission,this being the wort of the hier-archy. In company with most

theologians, he sees the secu-

ticom Council end promulgeted by Pope Peed VIDec. 4.

INTRODUCTION1 ThU vxrrnl council has several aims to view

tt <lciire» tn impart an r\rr increasing vigor to

the Christian life of thr faithful, to adapt inorr suit-ably to thr nerd* of our-own times those institu-tions which arc subject to change; to foster what-ever can promote union among all who believe in

Christ, to strengthen whatever can help to call thewhole of mankind into the household of the ChurchThe council therefore sees particularly cogent rea-sons for undertaking the reform and promotion ofthr liturgy.i

2. For liturgy. through which the workof our redemption Is accomplished." tt) mo*t of allin the divine saenficr of the Eucharist. is the out

standing means whereby the faithful may expresstn their lives, and manifest to others, the mysteryof Christ and the real nature aI the true Church

It U of the essence of tbe Church that she beboth human and divine, visible and yet invisiblyequipped, esger to act ami yet intent on control

plation. present in this world and yet not at homein it, and she is all these things tn such ssise thstin her the bumsn u directed amt subordinates! tothe divine, the visible likewise to the invisible,srtioo to contemplation, and this present world tothat city yet to come, which we seek (21.

While the liturgy daily builds up those who are

within Into a holy temple of the laird, into s dwellmg place for (lod in the Spirit (SI. to the mature

measure of the fulness of Christ (4). at the tame

time it marvelously strengthens their power to

preach Christ, and thus shows forth the Church to

those who sre outside as a sign lifted up amongthe nations (Si under which the scattered childrenof Cod may be gathered together li). until thereis one sheepfold ami one sheperd (7)

3. Wherefore the sacred council judges that the

following principles concerning the promotion aaJreform of the liturgy should be called to mind, amithat practical norms should be established

Among these principles trxl norms there are

some which can ami should be applied both to UseRoman rile and alsn to all the other rites Thepractical norms which follow, however, should betaken as applj.ng only to the Roman rite, exceptfor those which, in the very nature uf things, affectother riles ax well

4 Lastly, in faithful obedience to tradition, thessrred council declares that holy Mother Churchholds all lawfully acknowledged riles to be of equalright and dignity that sh« wishca to preserve themm the future ami to foster them In every way.The round! also desirrs that, where necessary, therites be rented carefully In the light of sound tra

dition and that they be given new vigor to meetthe circumstances and needs of modem times

CHAPTER I

General Principles for7 he Restoration and Promotion

Of the Sacral LiturgyI. Thr Nature of thr Saerrd LiturgyAnd IU Importance in the Church's life

3 Utxl who wills that all men be saved andcome to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2 «)."who in many and various ways spoke in times pastto the fathers by the prophets" ilieb It), when

thr fulness of Ume had come sent Ilia Son. theWord made flesh, anointed by the Holy Spirit, to

preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the contriteof heart (I). to be a "1-odiiy ami spiritual medicine"

f*> the Mediator between Cod and man (10). ForHit humanity, united with the person at the Word,was the instrument of our salvation Therefore in

Christ ' the perfect achievement of our reconcilia-tion came forth, and the fulness of divine worshipwas given to us ”, (II)

The wonderfui works of God among the peopleof the Old Testament were but a prelude to the

work of Christ the lord in redeeming mankindami giving perfect glory to God He arhirved ilistask principally by the paschal mystery of Hisblessed passion, resurrection from the dead, and

glorious ascension, whereby "dying he destroyedour death and rising he restored our life" (12),For It wras from the side of Christ as He slept thm

sleep of death upon the cross that there eame

forth "the womirous sacrament of the wholeChurch" (13).

6 Just as Christ was sent by the Father, so

also Hr sent the apostles, filled with the HolySpirit This He did that, by preaching the gospelto every creature (14). they might proclaim thatibe Son of God, by His death and resurrection, hadfreest us from the power of Satan (15) and fromdeath, ami brought us Into the kingdom of HisFather His purpose also was that they might ac-

complish the work of salvation which they hadproclaimed, by means of sacrifice and sacraments,around which the entire liturgical life revolves

Thus by baptism men are plunged into thepaschal mystery of Christ: they die with Him. are

buried with Him. and rise with Him (!6); they re

reive thr spirit of adoption as sons "in which wc

cry Abba, Father" (Rom 4 15). and thus becometrue adorers whom the Father seeks (17) In likemanner, as often as they eat the supper of the1-ord they proclaim the death of the !.or.d until Hecomes (18) For that reason, on the very day ofPentecost, when the Church appeared before theworld "those who received the word ' of Peter

were baptirrd" And "they continued steadfastly

in the teaching of the apostles and in the communion of the breaking of bread and in prayers

praising God ami being tn favor with all thepeople" (Aeti 2 41-47)

From that time onwards the Church has neverfailed to come together to rrlebrate the paschalmystery reading those things "which were in allthe scriptures concerning him" (f-ukc 24 27), celebrating the Eucharist in which "the victory andtriumph of his death are again made present" (19),and at the same time giving thanks "to God forhi* unspeakable gift" (2 Cor 9 15) in Christ Jesus.

m praise of his glory" (Kph M2), through thepower of the Holy Spirit

T To accomplish *o great a work. Christ is

always prevent in H.u Church, especially in hertiturgiea! celebrations He is present in the sacnfirr of the Mass, not only in the person of lfisminister, "the same now offering through theministry of priests who formerly offered himself

onthe cro»s" 20) but especially under the eueharuticspecies

By His power He Is prevent in the sacraments,so that when a man baptises it is really ChristHimself who bapUies (21) He is present in Hisword, since it is He Himself who speaks when theholy scriptures are read in the Churrh He is pres

rnt. lastly, when the Church prays and sings forHe promised "Where two or three are gatheredtogether in my name, there am 1 in the midst ofthem" (Matt 18 »)

Christ indeed always associates the Churchwith Himself in this great work wherein God isperfectly glorified and men are sanctified TheChurch u His beloved Bride who calls to her Lord,ami through Him offers worship to the FternilFather

Rightly then the liturgy is considered as an

exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ. Inthe liturgy the sanctification of man is signifiedby signs perceptible to the senses, and is effectedm a way which corresponds with each of these

ngns: In the liturgy the whole public worship is

performed by the Mystical Body of Jesus Christthat is, by the Head and Hi* members

From this it follows that every liturgical cclebrat ion because it is an action of Christ thr priestand of ilia Body which is the Church, is a sacredaction surpassing all other*, no other action ofDie Church can equal its efficacy by the same titleand to the same degree

* fn the earthly liturgy we take part tn a fore-taste of that heavenly liturgy which is celebrated ‘nthe holy city of Jerusalem toward which we journeyas pilgrims where Christ is sitting at the righthand of God. a minister of the holies and of thetrue tabernacle (22); we sing a hymn to the Lord'sglory with all the warriors of the heavenly army;venerating the memory of the saints, we hope for

some part and fellowship with them, we eagerlyawait the Saviour, our laird Jesus Christ, until He.our life, shall appear and we too will appear withHim in glory (23)

9 The sacred liturgy does not exhaust the en-

tire activity of the Church Before men can come

to the liturgy they must be called to faith and to

conversion How then are they to call upon himin whom they have not yet believed’ But how are

the> to believe him whom they have not heard’And how are they to hear if no one preaches’ Andhow are men to preach unless they be sent’" Rom.10 14 15)

Therefore the Churrh announces the good tid-ings of salvation to those who do not believe, so

that all men may know the true God and Jesus(hnst whom He has sent, and may be convertedfrom their ways, doing penance <2t>

To believers also the Church must ever preachfaith and penance; she must prepare them for thesacraments, teach them to observe all that Christhas commanded 25). and invite them to all theworks of chanty, piety, and the apostolate For allthe-e works make it clear that Christ s faithful,though not of this world, are to be the tight ofthe world and to glorify the Father before men.

10 Nevertheless the liturgy is the summit to-ward which the activity of the Church u directed:at the same time it is the fount from which allher power flows For the aim and object of apos-tolic works is that all who are made sons of Godby faith and baptism should cometogether to praiseGod in the midst of His Church, to take part in thesacrifice, and to eat the Lord's supper

The liturgy in its turn moves the faithful, filled»nb the paschal sacraments." to be "one in hob-nes- ’ (26) it prays that "they may hold fast in

their lives to what they have grasped by theirfaith (27 1 the renewal in the Eucharist of thecovenant between the l>ord and man draws thefaithful into the comptdling love of Christ and setathem onfire.

1- rom the liturgy, therefore, and especially fromthe Eucharist, as from a fount, grace is pouredforth upon us and the sanctification of men in

Christ and the glorification of God. to which allother activities of the Church are directed as towardtheir end. is achieved in the most efficacious pos-sible way

11 But in order that the liturgy may be ablefo produce its full effects, it is necessary that thefaithful come to it with proper dispositions, thattheir minds should be attuned to their voices, andthat they should cooperate with divine grace lestthey receive it in vain (28)

Pastors of souls must therefore- reatire that,when the liturgy is celebrated, something more isrequited than the mere observation of the lawsgoverning valid ami licit celebration; it is theirduty also to ensure that the faithful take part fullyaware of what they are doing, actively engaged inthe rite, and enriched by its effects.

12 The spiritual life however, is not limitedsolely to participation in the liturgy. The Christianis indeed called to

pray with his brethren, but hemust also enter into his chamber to pray to thelather in secret (29); yet more, according to theteaching of the Apostle, he should pray withoutceasing (30).

\4e learn from the same Apostle that we mustalways bear about in our body the dying of Jesus,so that the Ufe also of Jesus may he made manifestm our bodily frame (31). This is why we ask the

Lord in the sacrifice of the Maaa that, "receivingthe offering of the spiritual victim." he may fashionus for himself “as an eternal gift" (32).

13. Popular devotions of the Christian people areto be highly commended, provided they accord withthe laws and norms of the Church, above all when

they are ordered by the Apostolic See.Devotions proper to individual churches also

have a special dignity if they are undertaken bymandate of the Bishops according to customs or

books lawfully approvedBut these devotions should be so drawn up that

they harmonize with the liturgical seasons, accordwith the sacred liturgy, are in some fashion derivedfrom It. and lead the people to it, since, in fact,the liturgy by its very nature far surpasses any ofthem.

11. Promotion of Liturgical Instruction

And Active Participation14. Mother Church earnestly desires that all the

faithful should be led to that full, conscious, andactive participation in liturgical celebrations whichis demanded by the very nature of the liturgy. Such

participation by the Christian people as "a chosen

race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemedj>eople” (1 Pet. 2:9: ef. 2:4-5), is their right andduty by reason of their baptism.

In the restoration and promotion of the sacredliturgy, this full and active participation by all thepeople is the aim to be considered before all else;for it is the primary and indispensable source fromwhich the faithful are to derive the true Christianspirit: and therefore pastors of souls must zealouslystrive to achieve it. by means of the necessary in-

struction. in all their pastoral work.Yet it would be futile to entertain any hopes

of realizing this unless the pastors themselves, inthe first place, become thoroughly imbued with the

spirit and power of the liturgy, and undertake to

give instruction about itA

prime need, therefore, is that attention bedirected, first of all, to the liturgical instruction of

the clergy. Wherefore the sacred council has de-cided to enact as follows

15. Professors who are appointed to teach liturgyin seminaries, religious houses of study, and theo-logical faculties must be properly trained for theirwork in institutes which specialize in this subject

16 The study of sacred liturgy is to be ranked

among the compulsory and major courses in sem-

inaries and religious houses of studies: in theologicalfaculties it is to rank

among the principal courses.

It Hs to be taught under its theological, historical,spiritual, pastoral, and juridical aspects

Moreover, other professors, while striving to ex-

pound the mystery of Christ and the history of sal-vation from the angle proper to each of their own

subjects, must nrvrrtlieless do so in a way whichwill clearly bring out the connection between their

subjects and the liturgy, as also the unity whichunderlies all priestly training This consideration isespecially important for professors of dogmatic,spiritual, and pastoral theology and for those ofholy scripture.

17 In seminaries and houses of religious, clericsshall be given a liturgical formation in Uieir spir-itual life. For this they will need proper direction,so that they may be able to understand the sacredrites and take part in them wholeheartedly: andthey will also need personally to celebrate thesacred mysteries, as well at popular devotionswhich are imbued with the spirit of the liturgy In

addition they must learn how to observe the liturgi-cal laws, so that life in seminaries and houses ofreligious may be thoroughly influenced by the spiritof the liturgy.

It Priests, both secular and religious, who are

already working in the Lord’s vineyard are to be

helped by every suitable means to understand ever

more fully what it is that they are doing when theyperform sacred rites; they are to be aided to livethe liturgical life and to share it with the faithfulentrusted to their care.

19 With zeal and patience, pastors of soulsmust promote the liturgical instruction of the faith-ful. and also their active participation in the liturgyboth internally and externally, taking into accounttheir age and condition, thru- way of life, andstandard of religious culture.

By so doing, pastors will be fulfilling one of

the chief duties of a faithful dispenser of the mys-teries of God; and in this matter they must leadtheir flock not only in word but also by example,

20. Transmissions of the sacred rite* by radioand television shall be done with discretion anddignity, under the leadership and direction of asuitable person appointed for this office by theBishops. This is especially important when the serv-ice to be broadcast is the Mass.

111. The Reform of the Sacred Liturgy21. In order that the Christian people may more

certainly derive an abundance of graces from thesacred liturgy, holy Mother Church desires to under-

take with great care a general restoration of theliturgy Itself. For the liturgy is made up of im-mutable elements divinely Instituted, and of ele-ments subject to change. These not only may butought to be changed with the passage of time 1/they have suffered from the intrusion of anythingout os harmony with the Inner nature of the liturgyor have become unsuited to it.

In this restoration, both texts and rites *»*«■■ Hbe drawn up so that they express more clearly thoholy things which they signify; the Christian prett.so far as possible, should be enabled to understandthem with ease and to take part in them fully, ac-

tively. and as befits a community.Wherefore the sacred council establishes the fol-

lowing general norms:

General Norms

22. 1. Regulation of the sacred liturgy depend*solely on the authority of the Church, that is, on

the Apostolic See and, as laws may determine, on

the Rishop.2. In virtue of power conceded by the law.

the regulation of the liturgy within certain definedlimits belongs also to various kinds of competentterritorial bodies of Bishops legitimately established.

3. Therefore noother person, even if he bea priest, may add. remove, or change anything inthe liturgy on his own autliortty.

23. That sound tradibon may be retained, ami

yet the way remain open to legitimate progress, a

careful investigation is always to be made into each

part of the liturgy which is to be revised This

investigation should be theological, historical, andpastoral.

Also the general laws governing the structureand meaning of the liturgy must be studies) in con-

junction with the experience derived from recent

liturgical reforms and from the indults conceded to

various places.Finally, there must be no innovations unless the

good of the Church genuinely and certainly requires

them; and care must be taken that any new formsadopted should in some way grow organically from

forms already existing.As far as possible, notable differences between

the rites used in adjacent regions must be carefullyavoided

24 Sacred scripture Is of the greatest import-

ance in the celebration of the liturgy. For it isfrom scripture that lessons are read and explainedin the homily, and psalms are sung; the prayers,collects, and liturgical songs are scriptural in theirinspiration, and it is from the scriptures that ac

lions ami signs derive their meaningThus to achieve the restoration, progress, and

adaptation of the sacred liturgy, it is essential to

promote that warm and living love for scripture to

which the venerable tradition of both eastern and

western rites gives testimony.25 The liturgical books are to be revised as

soon as possible; experts afe to be employed on

the task, and -Bishops are to be consulted, from

various parts of the world

Norms Drawn From the Mkerarrkle and

Communal Nature of the Liturgy

as liturgical services are not private function*,

but are celebrations of the Church, whirh is the

"sacrament of unity,” namely, the holy people

united and ordered under their Bishops (13).Therefore liturgical services pertain to the whole

body of the Church; they manifest it and has*effects upon it; but they concern the individual

members of the Church in different ways, accord-

ing to their differing rank, office, and actual parti

cipatioa2T. It is to be stressed that whenever rites, ac-

cording to their specific nature, make provision forcommunal celebration involving the pretence and

active participation of the faithful, this way of cele-

brating them is to be preferred, so far at possible,

to a celebration that is individual and quasi private.

Thu applies with especial force to the celebra-

tion of Mass and the administration of the sacra-

ments. even though everyMass has of itself a

public and social nature

29 In liturgical celebrations each person, minis-

ter or layman, who bat an office to perforin, shoulddo all of. but only, those parts which pertain to hu

office by the nature of the rile and the principles of

liturgy.29 Servers, lectors, commrataton. and mem-

bers of the choir also exercise a genuine liturgicalfunction They ought, therefore, to discharge their

office with the sincere piety and decorum demandedby to eialted a ministry and rightly rapected of

them by God's people.

Consequently they must all be deeply imbued

with the spirit of the liturgy, each in his own meas-

ure. and they must be trained to perform their

functions in a correct and orderly manner

30 To promote active participation, the peopleshould be encouraged to take part by means ofacclamations, responses, psalmody, antiphon*, and

songs, as well as by actions, gestures, and bodilyattitudes. And at the proper times all should observe

a reverent silence.31. The revision of the liturgical books must

carefully attend to the provision of rubrics also forthe people's parts.

32. The liturgy makes distinctions between per-sons according to their liturgical function and sac-

red Orders, and there are liturgical laws providingfor due honors to be given to civil authorities. Apartfrom these instances, no special honors are to bepaid In the liturgy to any private persons or classesof persons, whether in the ceremonies or by externaldisplay.

Norms Based L’pea the Didactic

And Pastoral Nature of lb* Liturgy33. Although the sacred liturgy la above all

things the worship of the divine Majesty, it likewisecontains much instruction for the faitiiful (34). Farin Die liturgy God speaks to His people and ChristIs still proclaiming His gospel. And the people re-

ply to God both by song and prayer.Moreover, the prayers addressed to God by the

priest who presides over the assembly in the per-too of Christ are said in the name of the entireholy people and of all present. And the visible aignsused by the liturgy to signify invisible divine thing*have been chosen by Christ or the Church.

Thus not only when things are read "which werewritten far our in*true lion" (Rom. 13:4), but also

when the Church prays or sings or sets, the faith

of Ukmc taking part Is nourished and their mindsare raised to God, so that they may offer Him their

raltoaa! service ami more abundantly receive his

graceWherefore, in Ihe revision of the liturgy, the fol-

lowing general norms should be observed:

34 The rites should be distinguished by a noble

simplicity; they should be short, clear, ami unrn

cumbered by useless repetitions; they should be with-

in Ihe people's powers of comprehension, and norm-

ally should not require much explanation

35 That the intimate connection between wordsand rites may be apparent In the liturgy:

1) In tacretl celebrations there is to be more

reading from holy scripture, snd it is to be more

varied amt suitable__

*

2) Because the sermon is part of the liturgical

service, the best place for it is to be indicated

even in the rubric*, as far as the nature of the

rite will allow; the ministry of preaching b to

be fulfilled with exactitude and fidelity The see-

mon moreover, should draw itx contents mainlyfrom scriptural and liturgical tourers, and its

character should be that of a proclamation of

God's wonderful works in the history of salvation,

the mystery of Christ, ever made present ami

active within us. especially in the celebration of

the liturgy

3) Instruction whirh Is more explicitly liturgi-cal should also be given in a variety of way*, if

necessary, short directives to be tpokrn by the

priest or proper minister should be provided within the rites themselves But they should occur

only at the more suitable moment*, and beprescribed or similar word*

4) Bible services should be encouraged, espe

riatly on the vigils of the more solemn feasts, on

some weekdays m Advent and I cot. and on Sun-

day* amt feast day* They are particularly to be

commended in place* where no priest is available,when this is so, a deacon or some other personauthorized by the Bishop should preside over the

celebrationM I Particular law remaining m force, the

use of the Latin language la to be preserved in theLatin rites

2 But since the use of the mother tongue,whether in the Mast the administration of the sac-

raments or other pari* of the liturgy, frequently

may be of great advantage to the people, the limitsof its employment may be extended This will applyin the first place to the readings and directives,amt to some of the prayers and chants, according

to the regulations on this matter to be laid downseparately m subsequent chapters

3 These norms being observed, it is farthe competent territorial ecclesiastic al authoritymentioned in Art 22. 2. to decide whether, and to

what extent, the srrnacular language t* to be used,their decree* are to be approved, that is. confirmed,by the Apostolic See And. whenever it seems to be

called for. this authority i* to consult with Bishopsof neighboring regions which hare the same lan-

guage

4 Translations from the l-altn test into themother tongue intended for use in the liturgymust be approved by the competent territorial ee

Norms fee Adopting Use UhsrgyT* Use Osltnre and Traditions of People*

of the administration of the sacraments, the sacra-

mentals, processions, liturgical language, tarred mu-

sic. and the arts, but according to the fundamentalnorms laid down in this Constitution

40 In some places and circumstance*, however,an even more radical adaptation of the liturgy la

needed, and this entails greater difficultiesWherefore.

1) The competent territorial ecclesiastical au-

thority mentioned m Art 22. 2, must, in this mat-ter. carefully and prudently consider which ele-ments from the traditions and culture of Individ-ual peoples might appropriately be admitted intodivine worship Adaptations which are judged tobe useful of necessary should then be submittedto the Apostolic See, by whose consent they maybe introduced.

2) To ensure that adaptations may be madewith all the circum*pec lion which they demand,the Apnetotk See will grant power to this same

territorial ecclesiastical authority to permit and todirect, as the case requires, the necessary pre-liminary experiment* over a determined period oftime among certain groups suited lor the purpose.

ment of love a sign of unity a bond of charity t36>,a paschal banquet in which Christ ia eaten, the mindti filled with grace, aod a pledge of future glory u

gives to ua (37)*■ The Church, therefore, earnestly desires that

Christs faithful, when present at thu mystery of

faith, should not tie there as strangers or aiient spec-tators; on the contrary, through a good understand-ing of the rites and prayers they should take part in

the sacred action conscious of what they arc doing,with devotion and full rollaburation

They should be instructed by Cod's word and henourished at the table of the laird's body. they shouldglre thanks to God; by offrring the Immaculate Vic-tim. not only through the hands of the priest, butalso with him. they should lesrn also to offer them-selves; through Christ the Mediator (311. they shouldbe drawn day by day into ever more perfect union

writh God and with each other, so that finally Godmay be all in all.

tf. Kar this reason the sacred council, havingIn mind those Masse* which are celebrated with theassistance of the faithful, especially on Sundays andfeaatt of obligation, has mado the following decreesIn order that the sacrifice of the Mass, even In theritual forms of its eelebratiton. may become pat-

lorally efficacious to the fullest degree.50. Tbe rite of the Mass is to be revised in such

a way that the intrinsic nature and purple of Its

several parts, as also the connection between them,may be more elcarly manifested, and that devoutand active, participation by the faithful may be more

easily achievedKor thi* purpose the riles arc to he simplified,

due care being taken to preserve their substance:elements which, with the pas-age of time came to

he duplicated, or were added with but little advan-tage are now to lie discarded other elements whichhave suffered injury throuvh accidents of history are

now to he restored to the vigor which thev had inthe days of the holy Fathers, as may seem usefulor neees-ary

51 The treasure* of the Bible are to he openedup more lavishly, so that r.icher fare may lie pro-vided for the faithful at the table of God s word.In this

way a more representative portion of the

holy scripture* will he read to the people in thecourse of a prescribed number of years

52 By means of the homily the mysteries of theFaith and the guiding principles of the Christian lifeare expounded from the sacred text, during theC'«ur»c of the liturgical year the homily therefore,is to he highly esteemed as part of the liturgy itself;in fact at those Masses which are celebrated withthe assistance of the people on Sundays and feajtsof obligation, it should not be omitted except for a

serums reason

53 Especially on Sundays and feasts of obligationthere is to be restored, after the Gospel and thehomily, “the commonprayer" or "the- prayer of thefaithful " By thi* prayer, in which the people arc totake part, intercession will be made fur holy Church,foe the civil authorise- for those oppressed by var-

ious needs for all mankind, and for th< salvation ofthe entire world. (35)

54 In Mas-.es which are celebrated Wifh "he

people, a xuitablc place may be allotted to the r

And wherever a more extended use of the moth-er t.»ngue within the Mass appear* desirable, the

regulation laid down la Art 40 of this Constitutionis to he observed

55 That more perfect form of participation in

the Mass whereby tbe faithful, alter the priest a

sacrifice, is strongly commendedIhe dogmatic principles which were laai down

with the whole of Christian initiation is to be more

clearly set forth; for this reason it is fitting for

candidates to renew their baptismal promises Justbefore they are confirmed.

Confirmation may be given within the Mass when

convenient; when it is given outside the Mass, therite that is used should be introduced by a formula

to be drawn up for this purpose.72. The rttc and formulas for the sacrament of

Penance arc to be revised so that they more clearly

express both the nature and effect of the sacrament

73. “Extreme Unction," which may also and

more fittingly be called “Anointing of the Sick," is

not a sacrament for those only who are at the point

of death Hence, as soon as any one of the faithful

begins to be in danger of death from sickness or

old age, the fitting time for him to receive this

sacrament has certainly already arrived.74 In addition to the separate rites for Anoint*

ing of the Sick and for Viaticum, a continuous riteshall be prepared according to which the sick man

is anointed after he has made confession and beforehe receives Viaticum.

75. The number of the anointings is to be adapt-ed to the occiston, and the prayers which belongto the rite of anointing are to be revised so as to

correspond with the varying conditions of Uie sickwho receive the sacrament.

7f> Both the ceremonies ami texts of the ordina-tion ntes are to be revised The address given bythe Bishop at the beginning of each ordination or con-

secration may be in the mother tongue." ben a Bishop is consecrated, the laying of

hands may be done by all the Bishops present.77. The marriage rite now found in the Roman

Ritual is to be revised and enriches! in such a waythat the grace of the sacrament is more clearly sig-nified and the duties of the spouses are taught.

If any regions are wont to use other praise-worthy customs and ceremonies when celebratingthe sacrament of Matrimony, the sacred Synodearnestly desires that these by all means be re-

tained" 141).

Moreover the competent territorial ecclesiasti-cal authority mentioned in Art 22. 2, of this Con-stitution is free to draw up its own rite suited to

the usages of place and people, according to the

provision of Art. 63 But the rite must always con-

form to the law that the priest assisting at themarriage must ask for and obtain the consent ofthe contracting parties.

«8 Matrimony is normally to be celebrated with-in the Mass, after the reading of the gospel ami thehomily, and before the prayer of the faithful." The

prayer for the bride, duly amended to remind bothspouses of their equal obligation to remain faithful toeach other, may be said in the mother tongue

But if the r.acrament of Matrimony is celebratedapart from Mass, the epistle and gospel from thenuptial Mass are to be read at the beginning of therite, and the blessing should always be given to thespouses.

79. The sacramentals are to undergo a revisionwhich takes into account the primary principle ofenabling the faithful to participate intelligently, ac-

tively. and easily, the circumstances of our own daysmust also be considered When rituals are revised,as laid down in Art 63, new sacramentals may alsobe added as the need for these becomes apparent

Reserved blessings shall be very few; reserva-tions shall be in favor only of Bishops or ordinaries

L*t provision be made that some sacramentals.at least in special circumstances and at the discre-tion of the ordinary, may be administered by qual-ified lay persons

•0 The rite for the consecration of virgins atpresent found in the Roman Pontifical is to berev ised.

Moreover, a rite of religious profession and re-

newal of vows shall be drawn up in order to achievegreater unity, sobriety, and dignity. Apart fromexceptions in particular law. this nte should beadopted by those who make their profession or re-

newal of vows within the Mass.

Religious profession should preferably be madewithin the Mass.

>l. The rite for the burial of the dead should

express more clearly the paschal character ofChristiab death, and should correspond more closelyto the circumstances and traditions found in variousregions. This holds good also for the liturgicalcolorto be used.

The Divine Office83 Christ Jesus, high priest of the new and

eternal convenant, taking human nature, introducedinto this earthly exile that hymn which la sung

throughout all ages in the hails of hesven. He Joinsthe entire community of mankind to Himself, as-

sociating it with His own singing of this canticleof divine praise.

For He continues His priestly work through theagency of Ills Church, which is ceaselessly engagedin praising the Lord and interceding for the salva-tion of the whole world. She does this, not only bycelebrating the Eucharist, but also in other ways,especially by praying the divine office.

84. By tradition going back to early Christiantimes, the divine office is devised so that the wholecourse of the day and night is made holy by thepraises of God. rhereforc, when this wondertulsong id praise is rightly performed by priests andothers who are deputed for this purpose by theChurch’s ordinance, or by the faithful praying together with the priest in the approved form thenit is truly the voice of the bride addressed to herbridegroom; it is the very prayer which ChristHimself, together with His body, addresses to theFather.

85 Hence all who render this service are notonly fulfilling a duly of the Chdrch, but also are

sharing in the greatest honor of Christ's spouse,for by offering these praises to God they are stand

ing before God s throne in the name of the Churchtheir Mother.

86 Priests who are engaged in the sacred pastoral ministry will offer the praises of the hourswith greater fervor the more vividly they realisethat they must heed St. Paul a exhortation “Praywithout ceasing" (1 Theis 5:17) For the work inwh lr h they labor will effect nothing and bringforth no fruit except by the power of the Lord whosaid: "Without me you do nothing" (John 15 5).That is why the apostles, instituting deacons, said:"We wilt devote ourselves to prayer and to theministry of the word" (Acts 6.4).

87. In order that the divine office maybe better

and more perfectly prayed in existing circum-

whether by priests or by other membersof the Church, the sacred council, carrying furtherthe restoration already so happily begun by the

Apostolic Sec. has seen fit to decree as followsconcerning the office of the Roman rite

88 Because the purpose of the office is to sanc-tify the day. the traditional sequence of the hoursIS to be restored so that once again they may be

genuinely related to the time of the day when

they are prayed, as far at this may be possibleMoreover, it will be necessary to take into ac

count the modern conditions in which daily lifehas to be lived, especially by those who are calledto labor in apostolic works

89 Therefore, when the office is revised, these

norms are to be observed:a) By the venerable tradition of the universal

Church Lauds asmorning prayer amt Vespers

as evening prayer arc the two hinges on which

the daily office turns, hence they are to be coo

sidered a.s the chief hours and are to be cele

bratrd as suchb) Compline is to be drawn up so that it will

be a suitable prayer for the end of the dayc) The hour known as Matins, although it

should retain the character of nocturnal praisewhen celebrated in choir, shall be adapted so

that it may be recites! at any hour of the day.it shall be made up of fewer psalms and longerreadings

and) The hour of Prime is to be suppressede) In choir the minor hours of Terce, Seat,

and None are to be observed But outside choir

it will be lawful to select any one of these three,acording to the respective time of the day

90 The divine office, because it is the public

prayer of the Church, u a source of piety andnourishment for personal prayer And therefore

priests and all others who take part in the divineoffice are earnestly exhorted ,n the I-ord to attune

their minds to their voices when praying it. The

better to achieve this, let them take steps to im-

prove their understanding of the liturgy and of the

Bible, especially of the psalmsIn revising the Roman office, its ancient and

venerable treasures are to be so adapted that allthose to whom they are handed on may more ex-

tensively and easily draw profit from them91. So that it may really be possible in prac-

tice to observe the course of the hours proposed in

Art 89. the psalms are no longer to be distributedthroughout one week, but through some longer per-iod of time

The work of revising the psalter, already happity begun, is to be finished as soon as possible,-and it to take Into account the style of ChristianLatin, the liturgical uae of psalms, also when sung,

and the entire tradition of the Latin Church.

92 As regards the readings, the following shall

be observed;

a) Readings from sacred scripture shall bearranged so that the riches of God’s word may be

easily accessible in more abundant measure.

b) Readings excerpted from the works of thefathers, doctors, and ecclesiastical writers shallbe better selected.

c) The accounts of martyrdom or the lives ofthe saints are to accord with the facta of history.

93. To whatever extent may seem desirable, thehymns are to be restored to their original form,and whatever smack* of mythology or 111 accord*with Christian, piety la to be removed or changed.Also, as occasion may rise, let other selections fromthe treasury of hymns be incorporated.

94. That the day may be truly sanctified, andthat the hours themselves may be recited with

spiritual advantage. U la beat that each of them be

prayed at a time which most cloacly correspondswith its true canonical time.

95. Communities obliged to choral office are

bound to celebrate the office in choir every day in

additioo to the conventual Mass. In particular:a) Orders of canons, of monks and of nuns,

and of other regulars bound by taw or constitu-

tions to choral office must celebrate the entire

office.

b) Cathedral or collegiate chapters are bound

to recite those part* of the office imposed on them

by general or particular law.

cl All members of the above communities

who arc in major orders or who are solemnly pro-fessed, except for lay brothers, are bound to

recite individually those canonical hours whichthey do not pray in choir.

96 Clerics not bound to office in choir, if theyare in major orders, are hound lo pray the entire

office every day, either in common or individually

as laid down in Art 89.

97 Appropriate instances are to be defined bythe rubrics in winch a liturgical service may ticsubstituted fur the divine office

In particular rases, and for a Just reason, or-

dinaries can dispense their subjects wholly or in

part from the obligating of reciting the divine office, or may rommutr the obligation

98 Members of any institute dedicated to ac-

quiring perfection who, according to their constitu-

tions. are to recite any parts of the divine officeare thereby performing the public prayer of the

Church.

They too perform the public prayer of the

Church who. in virtue of their constitutions, recite

any short office, provided this is drawn up afterthe pattern of the divine ofice and is duly approved

99 .Since the divine office is the voice of the

Church, that is, of the whole my stical body' pub-licly praising God, those clerics who are not obligedlo office in choir, especially priests who live to

gether or who assemble for any purpose, are urged

to pray at least some part of the divine offir* in

common

chief hours especially Vespers, are celebrated in

commontn church on Sunday sand the more solemnfeasts And the laity, too. are encouraged to recite

the divine office, either with the priests, or among

themselves, or even indivtduaDy

101 1 In accordance with the centuries old tra-

needed qualities, and admits them into divine wor-ship

Accordingly, the sacred council, keeping to thenorm* and precept* of ecclesiastical tradition anddiscipline, snd having regard to (he purpose ofsirred music, which is the glory of Gsid and thesanctification of the faithful, decrees as follows

113 Liturgical worship is given a more nobleform when the divine offices arc celebrated solemn-ly in song, with the assistance id sacred ministersami the active participation of the people

As regards the language to be used, the pro-vision* of Art 36 arc to be observed; for the Mas*.Art 54. for the sacraments. Art 63. for the divineoffice. Art 101

114 Tlie treasure of sacred music is to be pre-served ami fostered with great care Choirs must liediligently -promoted, especially in cathedral church-es. but Bishops and other pastors of souls must beat pains to ensure that, whenever the sacred actionIS to lie celebrated with song, the whole body ofthe faithful may lie able to contribute that activeparticipation which is rightly theirs, as laid downin Art 26 ami 30

115. Great importance is to be attaches] to theteaching and practice of music in seminaries, inthe novitiates ami houses of study' of religious ofboth sexes ani also in other Catholic institutions andschools To impart this instruction, teacher* are ’obe carefully traines] and put in charge of the teach-ing of sacred music

It is desirable also to found higher institutesof sacred music whenever this can be done

Composers and singers especially boys, must

also be given a genuine liturgical training116 Tlie Chureh acknowledges Gregorian eha.it

as specially suited to the Homan liturgy therefore,other things oelng equal, it should be

given prideof place in liturgical serv ices

But other kinds of sacred music especially poly-phony, are by no means excluded from liturgicalcelebrations. *o long as they accord with the spiritof the liturgical action, as laid down in Art 30

117 The typical esiilion of the bn. k* of Gregorianchint is to l>e completed, amt a more critical edi-tion is to be prepared of those books already pub-lutw-d since the restoration by St Pius X

Sacred Art and

Sacred Furnishing*lr Very rightly the fine arts are considered

to rank among the noblest activities of roan s geniusami this applies especially to religious art and to llahighest achievement, whieb it sacred art. These arts

by their very nature, are oriented toward the in-finite beauty of Cud which they attempt in some

way to portray by the work of human hands, theyachieve their purpose uf redounding to God'spraise and glory in proportion a* they are directedthe more exclusively to the single aim uf turningmen’s minds devoutly toward God.

Holy Mother Church hat therefore always beenthe fnend uf the fine arts and has ever sought their

noble help, with the special aim that all things set

apart for use in divine worship should be trulyworthy, becoming, and beautiful, signs and symbolsof the supernatural world, and for this purposeshe has trained artists.

In fact, the Church has. with good reason alwaysreserved to herself the right to pass judgment uponthe art*, deciding which of the works of artistsare in accordance with faith, piety, and cherishedtraditional laws, and thereby fitted for sacred

The Church has been particularly careful lo sec

that sacred furnishings should worthily ami heaulifully serve the dignity of worship, and has admittedchanges in materials, style, or ornamentationprompted by ihe progress of the technical arts withthe

passage of time

Wherefore it has pleased the Fathers to issue

the following decrees on these matters

123 The Church has not adopted any particularstyle of art as her very own. the has admitted style*from every period according to the natural talentsand circumstances of peoples, and the needs ofthe various rites.

Thus, in the course of the centuries, she hasbrought into being a treasury of art which must be

very carefully preserved The art of our own days,coming from every rare ami region shall also be

given free scope in the Church provided that itadorns the sacred building* ami holy rites with duereverence ami honor, thereby it is enabled to con-

person or through suitable priests who are giftedwith a knowledge and love uf art.

It is also desirable that schools or academiesof sacred art should be founded in those parts of theworld where they would be useful, so that artistsmay be trained

All artists who, promptest by their talent*, de-sire to serve God's glory in holy Church, vhiuldever bear in mind that they are engaged in a kind ofsacred imitation of God the Creator, and are con-

Text of Schema on CommunicationsI ollou ing it the lull text at the communi-

cation! schema, ratified Decree on the Media ofSotial (o mmunite/ions. approved hy the SecondVatican Countil end promulgated by Pope Paul VI,

INTRODUCTIONI Among the wonderful technological discov-

eries which men of talent.'especially in the presentera. have made with God s help, the Church wel-comes amt promotes with special interest thosewhich have a most direct relation to men's mindsand which have uncovered new avenues of com-

municating most readily news, views and teach-ings of every sort The most important of these in-

ventions are those media which, such as the press,movies, radio, television and the like. can. of theirverv nature, reach and influence, not only in-

dividuals, but the very masses and the whole ofhuman society, and thus can rightly be called the

media of social communication.

2. The Church recognizes that these media. Ifproperly utilized, can be of great service to man-

kind. since they greatly contribute to men's en-

tertainment and instruction as well as to the spreadand support of the Kingdom ‘of God. The Churchrecognizes, too; that men can employ these mediacontrary to the plan of the Creator and to theirown kiss Invited, the Church experiences maternalgnef at the harm all too often done to society bytheir evil use.

Hence, this Sacred Synod, attentive to the watch-ful concern manifested by Ur* Supreme f’onUffaand Bishop* in a matter of such great importance,judges it to be its duty to Ueat of the principalquestions linked with the media of social communi-cation. It trusts, moreover, that the teaching andregulations it thus sets forth will serve to promote,not only the eternal welfare of Christians, but alsothe prugress of all mankind.

CHAPTER IOn the Teaching of the Church3 The Catholic Church, since" it was founded

by Christ our laird to bear salvation to ad men

and thus is obliged to preach the Gospel, considersit one of its duties to announce the Good News ofsalv atmu also with the help of the media of socialcommunication and to instruct men in their properuse

It i«. therefore an inherent nght of the Church

to have at its disposal and to employ any of these

media insofar as they are necessary or useful forthe instruction of Christians and all its efforts for

the welfare of souls. It is the duty of pastors to in-

struct and guide the faithful su that they, with the

lulp of these same mrdia. may further the salva-tion and perfection of themselves and of the entirehuman family.

In addition, the laity especially must strive to

instill a human and Christian spirit into these media,so that they may fully measure up to the great ex-

pectations of mankind to God's design.

4 For the proper use of these media it is most

necessary that all who employ them be acquaintedwith the norms of morality and consrirntiously putthem into practice in this area. They must took,then, to the nature of what Is communicated, giventhe special character of each of these media

At the same time they must take into considera-tion the entire situation or circumstances, namely,the persona, place, time and other conditions under

vs hick communicationtakes place and which ran af-fect or totally change its propriety Among these

circumstances to be considered is the precise man-

ner ui which a given medium achieves its effect.For its influence can be so great that men. especial-ly if they are unprepared, can scarcely become

aware of it. govern its impact, or. if necessary,reject it

3 It is, however, especially necessary that allparties concerned should adopt for themselves a

proper moral outlook on the use of these media,especially with respect to certain questions thathave been vigorously aired in our day.

The first question has to do with "information,"as it u called, or the search for and reporting ofthe news Now etesrly this has become most use

ful and very often necessary for the progress ofcontemporary society and for achieving closerlinks among men. The prompt publication of affairsand events provides every individual with a fuller,continuing acquaintance with them, and thus all

can contribute more effectively to the common

good and more readily promote and advance thewelfare of the entire civil society. Therefore, insociety men have a right to information, in accordwith the circumstances in each case, about mat-ters concerning individuals or the community.

The proper exercise of this right demands, how-

ever. that the news itself that Is communicatedshould always be true and complete, within thebounds of justirc and charily. In addition, the man-

ner la which the news is communicated should be

proper and decent This means that in both theaearcfc for news ami in reporting it. there' must befull respect for the laws of morality and for thelegitimate rights and dignity of the individual. Fornot all knowtodge la helpful, but ‘‘lt la charity thatedifiM." (l Corinthians 8: 1).

•- The second question deals with the relation-ship between the rights, a* (key are called, of art

ami Ihi* norms of morality Since the mounting con-

troversies in this area frequently lake their risefrom false teachings about ethics amt esthetics, thecouncil proclaim* that all must hold to the abso-lute primacy of tile objective moral order, that is,this order by itself surpasses and fittingly coor-dinates all other spheres of human affairs thearts not excepted even (hough they be endowedwith notable dignity. For man who is endowed by,God wdh the gift ot reason and summoned to pur-sue a lofty destiny, is alone affected by tin- moralorder in hi* entire being. And !tkcwt*e, if man reso-

lutely and faithfully upholds this order, he will bebrought to the attainment of complete perfectionand happiness. •

7. Finally, the narration, description or portray-al of moral evil, even through live media of socialcommunication, can thdeed serve to bring abouta deeper knowledge and study of humanity- and.with the aid of appropriately heightened dramaticeffects, can reveal ami glorify the grand dimen-sions of truth and goodness.

Nevertheless, such presentation* ought alwaysto U- subject to moral restraint, lest they wurk tothe harm rather than the benefit of soul*, partic-ularly when, there is question of treating matterswhich deserve reverent handling or which, giventhe baneful effect of original sin in men. couldquite readily arouse base desire* In them

8 Since public opinion exercise* the greatestpower ami authority today in every sphere of life,both private amt public, every member of societymust fulfill the demand* of justice ami charity Inthis area Asa result, all must strive, through the**media as well, to form and spread sound publicopinion

9 All who, of their own free choice, make usn

of these media of communications as reactors, view-ers or listener*—have special obligation* For a

proper choice demands that they fully favor thosepresentations that are outstanding for their moralgoodness, their knowledge and their artistic or

technical merit

In order that those who make use of tJsrse

media fulfill the moral code, they ought not neglectto inform themselves in time about judgmentspassed by authorities competent ui these matters.

They ought also to follow such judgments accord-

ing to the norma of an upright raoscinter So thatthey may more easily resist improper inducementsand rather

encourage those that are desirable, totthem take care to guide and instruct their con-

sciences with suitable aids.

10 Those who make use of the media of coco-

mumratiooi. especially the young, should take stepsto accustom themselves to moderation and selfcontrol in their regard They should, moreover, en-

deavor to deepen their understanding at what theysee. bear or read. They should discuss these mat-

ters with their teachers and experts, and learn to

pas* sound judgments on them.Barents should remember that they have a most

serious duty to guard carefully tost shows, publica-tions and other things at this sort, which may nomorally harmful, enter their home* or affect Ihrir

children under other circumstances

good or to evil by informing or arousing mankind.Thu*, they must adjust their economic, political

or artistic ami technical aspects so as never to op-

pose the common good For the purpose of betterachieving this goal, they are to be commended when

they join professional associations, which evenunder a code, if necessary, of sound moral prac-tice oblige their members to show respect tarmorality in the duties and tasks of their craft.

They ought always to be mindful, however, that* great many of their readers and audience are

young people, who need a press and entertainmentthat offer them decent amusement and cultural up-lift. In addition, they should see to it that com-

munirationa or presentations concerning religiousmatters are entrusted to worthy and experiencedhands and are carried out with fitting reverence.

12 The public authority, in these matters, ts

Venerable Rro(hrr<

Me have now rearhed thr rod ol the voiml»r»Mnn of this treat ecumenical council

You have already been lone absent from yourSee*, in whteh the tarred ministry require* your

presence your ruidanre and your realous pastorallabors Your work here hat been heavy, assiduousawl protracted by reason of the ceremonies studiesand meetings of this period of the rounril And now

we h»ve Just enteredupon the sacred season of

Advent, which prepares us to relebratr worthily the

memory of the bleated nativity of our lord JesusChrist, that yearly rrrurrtnf feast, which neverloses its solemnity and wunder and holiness

During this important and absorbingcommem-

oration of the ineffable mystery of the incarnateword of Cod. none of us should be occupied withother thought*, howevrr elevated or hoiv thry mav

beN«me of us should be detained in any <4her See

however great and venerable, but each of us shouldcelebrate the liturgical mystrrtrs in that placewhere Providence has entrusted to us Mis church.Ilis community and Mis priestly pastoral duty

We must, therefore interrupt for a second timethe course of this great synod, we must once againbid each other farewell and go our separate waysafter these happy day* of momentous brotherly cooferenre

Expression of ThanksItut we must first thank C.od for the blessing*

that Me has bestowed during this session and by its

means nor can we withhold our thanks fromany

of those who have taken part us the leiisn andhave had some positive pari in its successful func-tioning We thank especially the presidency of ther °u*ril. the m«v)ersloes the seerrtariat awl also the

commissions and the pent, the representatives ofpees* and television those who have fitted out thisbasilica, and those who have offered hospitably andassistance to the fathers of the council

And we thank in a particular waythose Path

ers who base been good enough to contribute towardthe great expense that the organisation of this greatevent requires, or base with fraternal charity cometo the aid ol tbrtr more needy brothers, or have

i 1 usted the Church in her enormous needs andcome to the help of the victims of recent disasters

Before concluding our labors it would be fittingto sum up and to consider together the rourse ofthe seeslow and it* result* but to do that wouldmake this address too long nor indeed rouM it** adequately since so many aspects of thisrsunctl belong to the domain of grace and the

inner kingdom of the soul into which it it nut alwaya

easy to enter and stare so many of the council's

result* have not yet come to maturity, but are as

grains of wheat cast into the furrows awaitingrffnetiv* and fruitful development, which wiU

be granted only in the future through new mysteri-ous manifestations of Use divine goodness

achievement, a great gift of God to Ilis Church. Ifour mind* have been so resolutely turned towardthese thoughts and these proposals.

The arduous and intricate discussions have cer-tainly borne fruit insofar as one of the topics, ihefirst one to be discussed, and. in a certain sense,ihe first in order of intrinsic excellence and im

|»*clance for the life of the Church, the schema ona*cred liturgy, has hern brought to a happy

Me may tee in this an acknowledgment of a

Community al PrayerIt would be good to treasure this fruit of our

council as something that should animate and char-arteriir the life of the Church For the Church u a

religious sorlrty. a community at prayer It is com-

posed ol people with a flourishing interior life andspirituality that is nourished by faith and grace

tf now wr wish to simplify our liturgical rites, ifwe wish to render them more intelligible to the peo-pie and accommodated to the language they speak,by so doing we certainly do not wish to lessen the

importance of prayer, or to give it less importancethan other forms of the sacred ministry or pastoralactivity, or to impoverish its rxpressive force andartistic charm On the contrary, we wish to renderthe liturgy more pure, more genuine, more in agree-ment with the source of truth and grace, more suit-able to be transformed into a spiritual patrimony ofthe people

To attain these end* it is necessary no at-tempt should be made to introduce into the officialprayer of the Churrh private changes or singularrites, nor should anyone arrogate to himself the rightto interpret arbitrarily the Constitution on the Ijtur-gj which today we promulgate, befure opportuneand authoritative instructions are given Further-more. the reforms which will be prepares! by post-conciliar bodies must first receive official ipproba

** rrc *e pastoral ministry amj of theCatholic mission in the world.

We can also include among the fruits of thiscouncil the many faculties which, in order to pro-mote the pastoral ends of the council itself, we havedeclared, in the document distributed to all theEathers. to be within the competence of the Bishops,specially those with ordinary jurisdiction

This is hot all The council has -labored muchAs you all know it has addressed itself to manyquestions whose solutions are in part virtually for-mulated in authoritative decisions which will be pub-lished in time after the work on the topics towhich they belong is completed

Other Items Remain

Other questions are still subject to further stud-ies and discussions M> hope that the th.rd sess.onin the autumn of next year will bring them to com-pletion It is fitting that we should have more ~mrto reflect on these difficult problems,' and that the

competent commissions on whose work we place somuch hope, will prepare for the future conciliarmeetings in accordance with Ihe mind of the Fath-ers. as expressed specially j n the general congre-gations. proposals profoundly studied accuratelyformulated, suitably condensed and abbreviated sothat the discussions, while

remaining always free,may t»e rendered easier and more brief

Such, for example, is the question of divinerevelation, to which the council wiU give a replywhich, while defending the sacred deposit of divinetruth against errors, abuses and doubt* that en-

danger it* objective validity, at the same time »ffl.provide directives to guide Biblical, patristic amitheological studies which Catholic thought faithfulto ecclesiastical teaching and vitalized by everygood modern scientific tool, will want to promoteearnestly, prudently and with confidence.

Such also is the great and complex question ofthe episcopacy which, in both logical order and im-

portance is theprimary concern of this Second

Ecumenical Vatican Council, a council which as weshall never forget is the natural continuation andcomplement of the First Vatican Council

A* a consequence, the aim .of our council is toclarify the divinely instituted nature of the episcop-acy not m contrast to. but in confirmation of. thesupreme Christ given prerogatives, conveying allauthority necessary foe the universal

government ofthe Church, which are acknowledged as belongingto the Roman Pontiff

Its aim is to set forth the position of the epis-copacy according to the mind of our Ford ami theauthentic tradition of the Church, declaring what its

power* arc and Indicating bow they should be used,individually and corporately, so as worthily to mamfest the eminenceof the episcopacy in the Church olGod

The episcopacy is not an institution independentof Of separated from, or, still leas. antagomsUc to,thr Supreme Pontificate of Peter, but with Peteram) under him it strives for the common good andthe supreme end of the Church The coordinat.-dhierarchy will thus be strengthened. Dot under-mined ,t» inner collaboration will be increased, not

lessened, iLs mutual chanty stirred up. not stifledMr are sure that on a subject of such impor-

tance the council will have much to say that willbring consolation and light.

And likewise foe the schema on the BlessedVirgin Mary, we hope for the solution most in keep-ing with the nature of this council, that i*. the unani-

mous and loving acknowledgment of the place,privileged above all others, which the Mother of Godoccupies m the holy Church in the Church whichis the principal subject matter of the present coun-cil After Christ her place in the Church is them<ist exalted, amt also the one closest to us, so

that we can honor her with the title Mater Eeriest-ar. to her glory and to our benefit

Ami after these questions, which the councilhas alrrady touched upon, there remain many otherswhich it was unable to treat of But much study haialready been accorded them Me will see to it thatthese questions be subjected to a thorough anddeeper re examination so as to be able to present tothe next session of the council schemata which are

short am) so worded that it will not be difficult toobtain a judgment of the council on certain fun-damental propositions

It will be left to the post-conciliar commissionsto explain these principles more fully and to workout their more practical implications Among therecommissions, the principal work will certainly fallto the ooe charged with the compilation of the new

codes, both for the Latin Church and for the Ori-ental Church.

In Uus work, which will follow the council, thecollaboration of the episcopacy, in new ways re-

quired by the needs ami the organic nature of theChurch, will be very' precious to u*. Naturally it will~ * source of joy to us to choose from amongthe Bishops of the world ami from the ranks ofthe religious orders, as was dooe for the preparatorycommissions of the council, distinguished and ex-

pert brethren who. along with qualified member*of the Sacred College, will bring us their counseland help to translate into fitting and specific norms

the general decisions of the council.

AppendixA Declaration of the Second EcumenicalCouncil Of the Vatican On Revision of theCalendar

The Second Ecumenical Sacred Council of theY'alican. recognising the importance of the wishes

expressed by many concerning the assignment ofthe feast of Easter to a fiaed Sunday and concern

ing an unchanging calendar, having carefully con

stdered the effects which could result from the inInduction of anew calendar, declares as follows:

1. The sacred council would not object If thefeast of Easter were assigned to a particular Sun-day of the Gregorian Calendar, provided that thovewhom it may eoocem. especially the brethren whoare not us communion with the Apostolic See. givetheir assent.

2. The sacred council likewise declares that it

does not oppove efforts designed to introduce a

perpetual calendar into civil societyBut. among the various systems which are being

suggested to stabilixe a perpetual calendar and to

inInduce W into civil life, the Church has no objec-Loo only in the case of those systems which retain

and safeguard a seven day week with Sunday, without the introduction of aay days outside the week,so that the succession of weeks may be left intact,unless there Is question of the most serious reasons

Concerning these the Apostolic See shall Judge

Similarly, effective support should be given to

must be taken that their programs arr outsund

In addition, there should be an effort to see

that the noble and ancient art of the drama, whichnow ts diffused everywhere by the media of social

IS To provide for the needs Just set forth,priests, religious and laymen who are equippedwith the proper skills for adapting these media to

the objectives of the spostulate should be appointedpromptly

Importantly laymen ought to be afforded trchnlcal. doctrinal and moral training For this purpose,the number of schools, faculties and institutes shouldbe increased, where newsmen, smters for screen,

radio tnS television and all other interested partaesran obtain a sound training that is Imbued with the

Christian spirit, especially with respect to the socialteaching of the Churrh

Finally, care must be taken to prepare literary,film, radio, television and other critics, who wtUbe equipped with the best skills in their own craftsand trained an 1 encouraged to render judgmentswhich always put moral issues in their proper light

1C Since the proper use of the media of aortal

commumrstums which are asadable to audiencesof different cultural backgrounds and ages, railsfor instruction proper to their needs, programswhich are suitable for Uus

purpose especiallywhere they are designed for young people shouldbe encouraged, increased in numbers and organisedaccording to ChrtaUaa moral principles This shouldbe done in Catholic schools at every level, m sem-

inaries and ui lay apostofate groups. To speedthis along catechetical manuals should present andexplain Catholic teaching and regulations on thismatter.

17. It is quite unbecoming for the Church'schildren ally to permit the message of salvation In

be thwarted or impeded by the technical delays or

expenses, however vast, which are encountered byUie

very nature of these media. Therefore, this

Sacred Synod advises them of the obligation theyhave to maintain and aunt Catholic newspapers,periodicals and film projects, radio and television

programs and stations, whose principal objectivela to spread and defend the truth and foster Chris-

tian influence In human society.

At the same Umr. the Synod earnestly invites

those orgamtaiaons and individuals who possessfinancial and technical ability to support these media

freely and generously with their resources and their

skills, inasmuch as they contribute to genuine cul-ture and the aportolatr

It. Moreover, that the varied spostulates of theChurch with respect to the media of social com

municaUon may be strengthened effectively, each

year In every diocese of the world, by the determin-

And so experience will suggest to u* how, with-

out prejudice to the prerogatives of the RomanPontiff defined by the First Vatican Council, the

earnest amt cordial collaboration of the Bishops ean

more effectively promote the good of the universalChurch,

Let us. therefore, end this session of the coun-

cil by taking stock of all that it has positivelyachieved: It has worked hard, it has completed

some chapters of its enormoustask and has madea good beginning on many other chapters of import-

ance. it has shown how divergent opinions ran befreely expressed, it has demonstrated the desirabil-

ity and the possibility of coining to agreement on

fundamental questions by discussion, and madedear how each and every one holds sincerely and

firmly to the dogmatic truths that make up theChurch's doctrinal patrimony.

It has. moreover, stirred up in all of us thatcharity which must always be present in our searchfor and profession of the truth, it has constantlykept in view the pastoral purpose of the council, ithas always tried to find means and expressionscapable of closing the gap between our separatedbrethren and ourselves, it has accompanied its

every act with prayer to God. the source of allhope

Yet. even so. it leaves us with an even more

vivid realisation of what remains to be done andwith a more deeply felt sense of our duty of makingthe Church better fitted to deliver its message oftruth and salvation to the modern world We have

not forgotten the conditions of the day, nor has our

love for the men among whom we live grown lessAj each one returns home to his ordinary af

fairs he will carry in his heart an earnest concernto make that charity more effective Even beforethe council discusses problems of the modern apostolate. we can say that we all of us already knowthe answers, for the Church's teaching is alreadyCl s*r *nd profound and the example of the better

among our brethren already poinnts Ihe way.Could we not, here and now, on our return

from the council, give proof of our more ardentpastoral spirit by speaking to our flocks and allwho hear our voices, words of exhortation and

encouragement? Cold we not, here and now, andby ways of preparation for the next sessions, in

tensity our inner life ami he more attentive to the

conclusion of Uus council prayers and good worksare necessary that, after careful deliberation and

holy places where Christ was bom. lived, died and

ascended to heaven after Mia Resurrection thefir* mysteries of our Faith, the Incarnation and the

RedemptionWe shall see that blessed land whence Peter

set forth and where not one of his successors has
