Special Vocation
NOTRE DAME, Ind., (NC)—
The United States has “a special
Vocation to the world,” accord
ing to His Excellency Arch
bishop Amleto Cicognani, Apos
tolic Delegate to the United
States.
Archbishop Cicognani made
the statement in a message to
the 18th national convention of
the Catholic Students Mission
Crusade, held here at the Uni
versity of Notre Dame.
He stated: “The theme of this
year’s convention, ‘Amerian’s
vocation to the world aposto-
late,’ is certainly one that ap
peals to the imagination and to
the zeal of anyone who has the
interest of the spread of Christ’s
kingdom at heart.
“America today is truly in a
privileged position under Divine
Providence, and as the theme
of the convention indicates, she
can be rightly said to have a
special vocation to the world.”

Named Monsignor
BOSTON — The Most Rev.
Richard J. Cushing, D.D., Arch
bishop of Boston, announced
that His Holiness, Pope Pius XII
had named the former Editor of
the Archdiocesan paper, THE
PILOT, a Domestic Prelate with
the title of Right, Reverend
Monsignor.
one that is replete with super
natural merit. In performing
this work of mercy one should
place special stress upon seeing
those in public welfare institu
tions and convalescent hospitals,
as well as those lingering alone
at home without family or
friends.

BY THESE WORDS we are
made to understand that it is
not enough for us to give alms
or visit the sick or to practice
any of the corporal works mere
ly from natural motivation (be
cause we feel sorry for others,
for example, or because others
are not quite so well off as we
are). Rather, our impetus should
be supernatural: we should help
others in material want simply
bacause of our love for Christ
Whom we must see in those we
aid.
IN PRACTICE, a Christian
goes a long way toward meeting
his duty as regards the corporal
works, if he makes a sincere ef-
ford to share part of his super
fluous income with the needy.
Here, particular mention must
be made of visiting the sick, a
work often neglected today, yet

Propaganda Aimed At Undermining
Polish Religion Classes At Peak
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
WARSAW -— Propaganda!
aimed at weakening the effec-|
tiveness of freedom for religion
classes in Poland’s public
schools reached a peak as close,
to 4,260,000 children went off
to elementary schools , through
out the nation.
The elementary school enroll
ment was about 300,000 higher
than last year’s.
In general, children in the
overwhelming majority of
schools where the parents had
selected religious instruction
had only diocesan priests or lay
men as religion teachers. It was
understood that members of re
ligious orders have not yet been
granted the teachers’ credentials
necessary for conducting relig
ion classes.
The official stand of the gov
ernment in the religious instruc
tion question is one of impar
tiality. But while there are
widespread reports of increased
pressure on parents to withdraw!
their youngsters from religion
classes, the communist press has
assumed the role of underdog,'
hitting the extent of such class
es and asserting that the Church
is undermining national unity in
its approach to the question.
In a radio talk on the eve of
the beginning of the school year,
Education Minister Wladyslaw!
Bienkowski told parents and
teachers to do away with “all
traces of intolerance, discrimi
nation and fanaticism” in the'
schools. The communist govern
ment’s spokesman did not men-!
tion religious instruction spe
cifically, but in view of the hue
and cry in the government-'
controlled press, his implication
was clear when he said:
“It is not permissible to let
into the school influences con
trary to the democratic and so
cialist character of education,
guaranteeing every citizen full
freedom of his personal convic
tions.”
At the same time, the govern
ment-fostered Socialist Youth
Union, ZMS, has sent a letter to
students indicating it plans to
intensify its work among them.
Urging pupils to widen their
“mental horizons” and go be
yond their curriculums, it said:
“It is only in this manner, and
not by an uncritical acceptance
of pronouncements ‘to believe,’,
that a world outlook based on
scientific foundations may be
developed.”
The official news agency PAP!
meanwhile has lauded the
“great achievements” of the
Lay School Society, which has
been campaigning against re
ligious instruction since right
after the signing of the Church
State agreement of December,
1956, which provided for non-
compulsory religion classes in
the schools. PAP stated:
“The society now numbers
800 school circles and 200 local
and work establishment circles.
As a result of the educational
activity of the society, the num
ber of schools without religious
instruction has increased, at the
wish of parents, from 60 last
year to 120 in the new school
year — out of which 21 schools
are in Warsaw . . . Many of
them have too many pupils, and ^
in Warsaw, for instance, some ^
schools must operate in three !
shifts.”
Not even the Communist par-1
ty press has attacked freedom J
of religious instruction in prin-J
ciple. But the main party organ, *
Trybuna Luda, is outspokenly
critical of what it calls infringe
ments by the Church.
“There are ... in Poland,” it
said recently, “elements which
see their interest in awakening
passions on a religious basis,
and they do not hesitate to use
the school for that purpose.” #
Going on to charge that the
stand of “some Church digni
taries” has been contrary to the
“secular character of the
schools,” >t said: 1
from the atheists and secular
ists, it appears here that most
of them are doing just that.

Exploit Nation’s
Labor Strife
MEXICO CITY, (NC) — In
preparation for their national
convention in Torreon in Sep
tember, Mexico’s communists
have launched a drive to ex
ploit this country’s recent labor
strife.
At the same time a Catholic
agency has issued a call for so
cial justice on behalf of Mexican
workers.
The Mexican Catholic Social
Secretariat, headed by Father
Pedro Velasquez, issued an ap
peal for justice for the workers.
The appeal was made to those
“whose mission is that of apply
ing social justice — labor lead
ers, management and govern
ment — so that they shall not
corrupt trade union organiza
tions either with money or po
litical favors.”
Following settlement of the
strike, which resulted in a wage
increase, a worker’s pilgrimage
to Our Lady’s shrine at Guada
lupe was oi-ganized.

“The good of the people’s

The results of infringing upon
