The Pope chose sin as his,theme for the 'audience talk imdmodern man's indifference to it., The Holy' Father said that to.­day there is a tendency, in mennot only to' avqid "considerationof sin as such, but even the men­tion of it.".Today, he said, sin isconsidered an obsolete word and"a term in bad taste, almost in-decent." ,

Pope Paul said that the our·rent attitude on sin is due to the

,fact that the "notion 'of sin im­plies two other realities thatmodern man does not intend todeal with." These, he said, are'

'the "mysterious but undeniablereality of-'God'" and the "meta·physical and moral reality" ofthe human person.

The Pope said that there is an"insuppressible relationship ofp.ur actions with the present, all- Ch· R L·' . S ·kpowing God, who questions our '1St e-. Iyes' a,Ylngfree choice.

About 15,000 Catholic schoolteachers and administrators areexpected to attend this year'sconvention - largest predictedturnout in several years. Thenumber of pre-registraants is ai- ,ready ·nearly equal to the totalnumber of delegates at the 1971convention, when 8,618 religiouseducators attended.

Freedom of Choice

An NCEA spokesman said thelarge increase in the number ofdelegates this year is due to thestrategic location of the conven­tion.

"Half of the Catholic educa­tional effort in the U. S., interms of numbers of schools,students, teachers, and so forth,is located within a 500-mileradius of Philadelphia," thespokesman said.

Noting tha't Catholic educationserves the nation by fostering"pluralism in society, freedomof choice for parents, and' educa­tion with a religious dimension,"Father C. Albert Koob, NCEApresident said he hopes the up­coming convention will accom­plish two things.

"I hope it ... establishes very,very strongly that the CathoHceducational effort in this coun­try is not going to die out," theNorbertine priest said, "and sec­ondly, I hope it comes across tothe nation as a whole that itshould not die."

Score DetentionWithout Trial

LONDON (NC)-Twenty-threeprominent Britons, including arthistorian Kenneth Clark andnovelist Graham Greene, haveurged ending detention withouttrial for suspected terrorists nNorthern Ireland.

In a letter to The Times ofLondon, they said that detentionseems to be the main obstacleto negotiation between the Prot­estant majority and Catholicminority in Northern Ireland.

They appealed "to the Britishgovernment to promote the re­lease of all prisoners againstwhom no charges can be brought,and to bring the rest to trialwithout delay.

"We believe that this wouldbreak the present impasse ofsilence by enabling the electedrepresentatives of the minorityto come to the negotiatingtable without loss of principleor pride."

The Protestant pro-BritishUnionist party government ofNorthern Ireland invoked lastAugUst the Special Powers Actof, 1922, which permits the jail­ing without trial of persons con­sidered to be a danger to thestate. The move was an attemptto crush the outlawed Irish Re­publican Army, which has beenaccused of seeking the unifica­tion of Ireland through terroristactivity.

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Cath­olic educators from across thecountry will gather here April3-6 for a convention that willspotlight the ways their institu­tions serve the nation.

The Pope asked: "Do you notfeel the uneasiness in the world?Do you not see the social stratadisturbed by so many upsettingevents? ... Basically, people areunhappy."

He asked the parishioners toshow the young people what theChurch is and to explain to themthat "in the Church they canfind help and understanding aswell as the essentials to makelife meaningful."

Earlier that day the Popemade an appeal for financialbaoking for a university in Italythat could apply to many coun­tries.

In his noontime address to thecrowds in St. Peter's square, PopePaul asked for funds for theCatholic University of the SacredHeart, a Milan-based institutionwith branches in various Italiancities. It is the only Catholic layuniversity in Italy.

The Pope said that in manycountries the Catholic schoolsystem is experiencing a finan­cial crisis.

"The Church has always beena great promoter of schools,from the primary ... to the pro­fessional level," he said.

The Church did this, the Popesaid, to extend knowledge to allin fulfillment of its vocation ofdispensing the truth God en­trusted to it.

Let us urge these men to keepin mind two factors. First thepublic, not just a segregated fewor loyal party camp followers,hut each and every person bethey black or White, poor or rich,northerner or southerner. Anelected official must truly seekthe common good, and his politi­cal acts should be to this end.

Secondly, remember the chil­dren. What is said .and done inthis issue of busing will have a,great effect o.n their future.

'SANTIAGO (NC) - ChileanPresident Salvador Allende hasendorsed an open letter CardinalRaul Silva of Santjagp addressed

I~~~~~ to rich nations on behalf of the

) poor' here and in the rest ofthe Third World of developingcountries.

After quoting from PopePaul's encyclical The Develop­ment of Peoples, the Marxistpresident told the Chilea~

churchman: "You are right."Cardinal Silva' had asked

Christians in developed coun­-tries "to end this tragic mani­festation of world injustice," re-

;!i: ferring t,o millions of people in,J.".,: 'poor nations who live i" crow:d­

ed, unhealthy conditions, are jj­literate a'1d jobless and have alife expectancy of only abput ,10years. ,'.'

The cardinal al,sq,warned thatthe anger of :the, poor ,is in­creasing at the contrast between"those who have so much andthe have-nots," and voiced thehope that a forthcoming 'UnitedNations meeting on world tradeand development here will off~fconcrete ways for sharing tHeearth's wealth. ,

President Allende, who on sev-eral previous occasions hasshown' a desire for cordial rela­tions with the Church, stressedthe common concern of Church'and government even if it comes'from different' ideologies.

".I appreciate the 'positive fl\ctthat in our country m~h of goodwil~ achieve from different' per­spectives a close I vie.w of. thegreat 'problems . burdening' :ourp'eople,~,he said~ "It is due per­liaps -"'to the fact that. all tho~eIbl'inli';~I\:tfie prQlet~iian ~soCj(~t'if:~are'·balUnd by the same problems\anguish and hope." .

There.also .can· be little. doubtthat much of the great expendi­ture of busing could be used toimprove and upgrade the so­called ghetto school. These areall valid arguments and. shouldbe of concern to those, who trulywisQ, ,to use busing as a meansto help in the equalization ofAmerican education.

In this involved issue it is soea~y to forget the children. Inmany respects they have becomethe pawns in the game of politicsand parental prejudices. Betweenthe forces of hate and ambitionwhat chance does a child reallyhave to remain without hurt andharm?'Is this the goal of Amer­iean education?

Cardinal Leo Joseph-Suenens of Belgium has cautionedan American audience that Church reform does' not meanrevolution. The forc'eful prelate has sometimes been usedas ali authority by those who call for a complete break·with the past in Church updating and renewal. The Cardi­nal himself told a New-York audience just a few days agothat religion's path into the future must be "the road ofevolution that brings past, present 'and future into un.ity."

The Cardinal pointed out that Church renewal bringssome distress and discomfort. "However, with the keeneyes of faith, these changes remain -only on the surfacewithout dis'turbing or negating what is fundamental, vital.and .essential for continuity. Nevertheless, to perceive this,'we need oil the one hand a vivacious faith which ,clingsto the living Christ in a personal encounter' and a living'commitment and on the ,other hand a,wisdom to separate.what is non essential from that which is essential." , J •

, The distinguished churchman is saying what"hasbeen '. said again and again and what tlJ.!Jst continue to b~ said.

People are still fearful that somehow Church renewal m~a~s '. . /:~ ,f

the overthrow of the essentials. They: need to be reassured ., .~ ,,1'again and again that there ~ill be no change in the realities ' i!"/ ...of the Apostle's Cre!1.g, and the Ten Co~mandments and ./'lAJ.the Seven Sacraments..Our understanding of these' can ' ',r"always deepen; our insight into the implication of these _f 'can always grow more' profound;,our .awarenessof the .e~ramifications' Of these can always become heightened~; .

. But renewal basically is the getting bac\{, 'to thesefundamentals, the updating of whatever approaches andtechniques that can make them more effective, the livingof more Christ-like lives so that the 'fundamentals' willbecome more evident in the lives of Catholics and moreattractive to others..

Vida Blue surely deserves a vote 'of 'appreciation forsupplying some chuckles last week with his announcementthat he is retiring froni baseball. The sight of this super-

Soviets, Nuns MiniCold War Ends

LONDON (NC) - The miniwar here between the, Soviettrade delegation and its neigh­bors, the Sisters of the SacredHearts of Jesus and Mary, ende<iwith a timely lesson in socialismfor the Soviets.

The delegation opposed a planto build 50 houses and apart­ments on the s.eve'n-and-a-halfacre site adjoining its $800,000headquarters in Highgate, north­west London, on the groundsthat it would "reduce the value"of its property.

P"ie$,t -Ad,vise'sChurch'to AskNew Questions

SEATTLE (NC) - Father An­drew Greeley told the audiencehere that the American Churc'hof the 1970s is in a time of"pause, despair, loneliness, ap­athy and indifference,"

"We are at a time of emotion­al exhaustion," the sociologistsaid. "We are weary of contro­versy, of stridency, of, the cycleof elation and discouragementwhich has been typical of thelast several years.

"We are tired of enthusiasm,tired of the steady stream of,magic answers that came alongeach year: cursillos, sensitivity,kerygmatic 'catechetics, priests'organizations, lay organizations,nuns' organizations, Pentecostals.All of these have tried' andfailed."

Eight AreasTo respond to this fr~stration

among its members and to makeprogress, the priest said,' theChurch must not devise new an­swers to old questions, butrather must ask new questionsabout man's relationship with hisfellow man.

Father Greeley said a "newagenda" covering 'eight areas inwhich the Church must ask newquestions is taking shape.

Father Greeley said the areasare faith, community, Christaneducation, the structure of theChurch, ritual or liturgy, the' is­sue of social involvement versuscontemplation, sexuality, andasceticism.

The Church must, he said,"loosen up," unshackle ': itselffrom some pre-Vatican, IImodes 'of thinking, and avoid thetendency to become boggeddown in debate over specifics.· .

Move SlowlyAlthough he did not indicate'

who will formulate the newagenda" Father Greeley empha­sized that they will move slowlyin taking the best from the pr~~Vatican: II "immigrant Church',"characterized by stability andcertainty, and combining it withmodern ideas and mo~es of reli­gious expression.

"One of the mistakes we madein past decades is that in quasi­panic we tried to do everythingall at once, to solve every prob­lem in six months, a year, or twoyears at the most.

"But riow we know," thepriest said, "that urgency; pas­sion and enthusiasm are no sub­stitute for precision, discipline,intelligence and realistic analy­sis."

Father Greeley, columnist forThe Anchor, said he could notbe more precise about the newagenda. He emphasized that theagenda is just now beginning totake shape.

Possible BreakthroughIn Testament Research

ROME (NC)-A Spanish Jes­uit scholar has cautiously an­nounced a possible dramaticbreakthrough in New Testamentresearch. .

Jesuit Father Jose O'Callaghansaid that fragments of Greekmanuscripts found among theDead Sea Scrolls dating from50-60, A.D. can be identified with,passages ot' St. Mark's Gospeland several other portions ofthe New Testament. '

This could place tJte .writingof St. Mark's Gospel 15 to 25years earlier .than .scholars haveso far believed and could proveit was written about 15 yearsafter Christ died. Accordingly,it would mean a rethinki'ng byscholars of th,e order in whichthe Gospels' were written andgiven much more'importance toMark's, Gospel.

, chapel. From left, Sister Rita, Sister Carolyn, Sister Marie.After Mass, breakfast and routine housekeeping chores,they begin breadmaking.

Then it's time for Sisters' lunch,including of course their own bread .Afternoon may includesewing session (Sisters make their own habits), a/ time 'ateasel for Sister Marie; and an interlude of recreation. Dayends as it began, in chapel.

Full Day

Their day is full. Up at5:30 ("We tried getting up at5, but it was just too early,"s~id Sister Marie), they have'time for meditation beforeattending the 7 o'clock par- ,ish Mass, then they break­fast and attend to house­keeping before' beginningbreadmaking' about 10 'o'clock in a warm and fra­grant room, dominate4 by.ahuge 'baker's oven. The pro­cedure, including, time forthe bread to rise, takes aboutfive hours. "We use an oldmonastic recipe with a fewmodern adaptations," saidSister Marie.

The Sisters deliver theirown bread, walking to theirnearest customer, the Green­ville market, and swinginghandily into a Volkswagenbus for points farther off. Allthree drive. '

In spirit. however, thecommunity hews to the 13thcentury spirit of St. Francis."We don't want to have pos­sessions," said Sister Car­olyn.

"People are glad to haveSisters in town, even if wedon't teach," said Sister Car­olyn. "One mother said ifwe weren't here, her childrenwould grow up never seeinga nun."

WASHINGTON (NC) - Presi­dent Richard Nixon's commis­sion .on· school finance has rec­ommended that governmentalagencies "promptly and serious­ly consider" additional and moresubstantive forms Of aid to thenation's nonpublic schools.

In its long-awaited report, re­leased here March 6, the 18­member commission said courtdecisions on school aid "inter­preting provisions of the Consti­tution, especially to the church­related "schools" .greatly limitedthe aid forms which the commis­sion could. recommend.

'Equitable Sharing'Its first recommendation was

that local, sta"te and federalfunds "be used ,to provide, whereconstitutionally permissible, pub­lic benefits for nonpublic schoolchildren" - such as nutritionalprograms, health services, theloaning of textbooks and trans­portation programs.

Protests ChargeOf Communism

CUEVO (NC)-<Bishop CesarBenedetti of Cuevo has protestedagainst charges that priests en­gaged in education and socialwork here in Bolivia are com­munists.

If such accusations continuehe warned, the parish of Char­gua will be placed under inter­dict, which means its people will

,be deprived of most of the sac­raments.

Bishop Benedetti, who headsthis mission vicariate high in theAndes, said he is giving full"support to the pastoral and edu­cational work of the Jesuits" inChargua, who run a . parishschool and several social devel­opment projects.

"The Church sincerely wantsto work for everyone, rich andpoor," he said in a public state­ment.· "But by the same 'tokenit cannot tolerate those whocarry out its social doctrine be­ing branded as communists."

"When cooperation and ,ap­preciation are'lacking," he said,"the priests' work cannot go on."

Many priests and laymen ac­tive in social reform effortshave been called communistssince last August's military coupin which the leftist governmentof President Juan Jose Torreswas ousted by the rightist forcesof Col.

Social Concern

We might reflect further onthe very educational process. Isindvidual freedom. honored, . re­spected and encouraged in a con­text of responsibility? Are pro­cesses of listening, practical co­operation, negotiation, consensusa normal part of such programs?Do we aUow and encourage re­sponsible representation, sharedplanning and executing of pro·

. grams? Do we encourage honestsearching out of facts, objectivereporting .of 'opinions and data,respectful 'confrontation. andhonest discussion of differences?

Milny religious education pro­grams from first grade to adult·hood focus almost exclusively onthe individual apd his personalenlightenment, . or salvation.Many programs are conductedwith almost total disregard forcontemporary social and politi­cal issues. Others are so directedthat the very processes appropri-,ate to responsible political activ­ity in our riation are stifled..

However, more. and moreChristian education 'programsare becoming models of, social

'and political concern, and areso directed that basic politicalskills vital in a free, pluralistic,democratic society may be devel­,oped.

Public InterestFrom all this it is ·clear that

politics and government are afar more serious business thanmany people are inclined to givethem credit for being. Becausethey are serious, they demandthe active involvement of asmany committed people as pos­sible. Politics, to paraphrase anold say.ing, is too important tobe left to the politicans.

Perhaps it as this realization-of the dignity and importanceof the sometimes disparaged po­litical process - that is behindthe growing interest in the ideaof the "public interest lobby."More and more theoreticians' andpractitioners are looking to suchoroadly participatory groups toinstill new vigor into politicalstructures in the United Statestoday. If it is true in many re­spects government has becometoo big, too impersonal, too un­responsive, too locked into es­tablished patterns and proce­dures, at seems also true thatthe "public interest lobby" offersone of the more hopeful meansof. effecting change. The modelis one that church groups couldwell examine in evaluating theirown relationship-and responsi­bility-to the political process.

In any case, the effort involvedin polibical activity is worthmaking. The vision proposed byPope Paul makes it clear thatthis is a vocation eminentlyworthy of a Christian. It maybe, after ,all, thatin the last an­alysis' we will get a politics and

Last week we celebrated: the feast of a British saintwith an Italian name. At least we did if we forgot that theHoly See--for reasons that no doubt seemed valid to it....,...has expelled that saint from the calendar of the UniversalChurch. The Irish, at best, .an impoverished people, ap- drunk on St. Patrick's' Day­parently 'had no native saint though on other weekends of

It also influencestheir religious lives eve'n thoughthey have little idea of what reli­gion meant to their grandparentsand great grandparents. TheIrish are Irish in spite of them­'selves.

Some of their children are be­ginning to explore tentativelytheir own past, though the 'Irishare absolutely the, last group tocatch on to the current· etlfnicrevival. Some teachers.,at Cath­olic colleges. say that cours~s on,Irish Studies, once almost empty,now have· students hanging fromthe ceiling. It's about time.

Butthat ,co~tribution cannot bemade if one pretends that. onehas no heritage or 'is ashamedof, the heritage or doesn't payany attention to it. .\ .

The Irish are belatedly begin­ning to discover that they have.a heritage which involves' some­thing more than painting ;agreen line down State Street andFifth Avenue or .pouring green<lye into the Chicago River.And how it must gall so manyIrish bigots to realize that it wasthe Blacks who finally legiti­mated, diversity in Amerjcan so­ciety, who made it possible' '~mdperhaps mandatory for tiw Irish .to discover their oWn tradition.

And to tell you the truth hewasn't much. By all accounts,he was neither. very bright· norvery channing. In addition, hehad some sort of fault-either ofcharacter or of past life-thatmade most of his colleaguesthink he was very poor bishopmaterial. "

As a' matter of fact,' there iseven ,some doubt· that' his mis­sion to that soggy island wascanonically :valid. Patrick was aclod and a failure, .and when theother monks heard that he hadfinally gone off to Ireland afterail .those years of talking aboutit, they were probdbly happy tosee him go. They most likely feltthat the man and the island wereappropriately matched.

.No, Patrick wasn't very much.All he had was, courage, deter­mination, and faith; and formuch of the next millennium anda half that was all his followershad too. But they did not giveup the faith (no matter how nar­row and rigid' it may .at timeshave. been), and they didn't giveup the fight either, as Mr. Heath'is discovering to his dismay.

The Irish may be the last of.the stone age people that theirEnglish betters think them tobe, but the sfones have bee'nbuilt into' crQsses, monasteries,and 'churches. As -the modernworld judges such things, theIrish a<:hievement· isn't much;but those stone crosses andchurches and those strange peo­ple, simultaneously' melancholyand lighthearted, will stiIl bearound when much that themodern world thinks is impor­tant has .long since departed thescene.

Backs SanctuaryFor Objectors

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-TheSan Francisco Archdiocesan Pas­toral Council passed two resolu­tions supporting' church sanctu­ary and counseling for conscien­tiousobjectors and others con­sidering the morality of militaryservice.

The first resolution, which wascarried· unanimously, said that"pastors and congregations be'encouraged to consider their re­sponsi'bility to counsel service­men and others whose con­sciences prohibit them from par­ticipating in war."

The second resolution wascarried by' a majority voice vote.It stated that "pastors and con·gregations (which) come to thedecision that it. is their respons"­bility to offer public sanctuary intheir church.es should be re­spestedin their decision."

The . offer .of sanctuary doesnot 9ffer any physical protectionfrom arrest.· Since the Bay AreaSanctuary' Caucus was formedby 13 churches, "li\bout 70 ser­vicemen' have . availed them­selves of counseling. Only oneperson among the 70 has' deCidedto' take' publicsarictuary.

The 34 Pastoral Council mem­bers present at the meeting de­;bated the proposed resolutions atlength, after' listening to a re­port by Thomas V. Peterson. ofthe Commission on Sqcial Con­cerns.

The commission's report em­phasized that sanctuary wasmerely a means of providing peo­ple time to think, not to indoc­trinate young mep. to chooseconscientious. objector status.
