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.” Former Editor 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.

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.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA 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.

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 results of infringing upon these mutually accepted prin ciples can be especially harmful in the schools, spreading con fusion in the minds of many young people, creating artificial lines of division between be lievers and nonbelievers.” Throughout August, letters from the Polish bishops were read from pulpits throughout the country reminding the peo ple of their duty to provide re ligious instruction for their children.
