CALL mercy the afflictions to which Your mystical spouse is subject ed in some parts of the world, but particularly now in the great nation of China. You see, O Lord, the snares which threaten the souls of Your faithful and You know the calumniating insinuations brought against Your shepherds, Your ministers and Your faith ful followers who eagerly desire to spread the truth of the Gospel and Your kingdom which is not of this world. How insistent and pernicious are the attempts to tear the seamless robes of Your spouse, the Church — one, holy, Roman, catholic, apostolic — separating hierarchy and local communities from the sole cen ter of truth, authority and sal vation, the Chair of Peter. Before the spectacle of such grave evils we ask of You above all forgiveness for offenses per petrated against You. Indeed, the words You spoke to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damas cus — “Saul, Saul, why doest thou persecute Me?” (Acts 9, 4) —-may well be repeated again today as has happened in the course of recent and past his tory. We always trust in the effica cy of the sublime words which You spoke to the Father from the Cross. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke, 23, 34). In the same way as Your sacrifice is the source of universal salvation, so may the martyrdom which the Church, Your spouse and our mother, suffers in various re gions be salutary to all men through Your grace. 225 BUCKHEAD AVE., N.

(NC Photos) How Does Catholic Family Feel When Told Will Visit In 10 SAN FRANCISCO, (NC) — How does a Catholic family feel when the Deputy Premier of the Soviet Union pays a surprise visit to their home on Sunday morning? When Anastas Mikoyan, on a tour of San Francisco, asked to see a typical policeman’s home, James P. Cavanaugh, State De partment security agent, leaned over to Police Captain Daniel J. Quinlan and said, “You’re it.” Ten minutes later, after a hurried call via police radio, the family’s home was ready for in spection with Carol Quinlan, 14, a freshman at Presentation high school, playing hostess. Mrs. Quinlan was at Mass at St. Anne of the Sunset at the time. She said afterwards, “It was a ticklish situation — on the spur of the moment like that, and we’re glad the chil dren handled it so well.” The other girls — Maureen, who studies at St. Joseph Col lege of Nursing, was at Mass with her husband and Anne Ma rie, a senior at Presentation, who was practicing for a school event — are proud that theirs, a Catholic home, was chosen for the visit. “The younger , boys (Danny, 9, and Gerry, 7), were more inter ested in the gold braid on a police official’s uniform, and the radio cars parked out front,” added Mrs. Quinlan. If Mikoyan was impressed with the religious objects in the home, no one knows. He was in terested in economic standards —how the Quinlan’s lived. What was the Captain’s sal ary? What had he paid for his home? How much did he pay in taxes? “He went into all the rooms,” said Carol, “and wanted to know what the appliances did—es pecially the electric ironer.” If Mikoyan could go in silence past the Sacred Heart shrine, with the family prayerbooks assembled in front of it, he couldn’t do the same with the children. “His eyes lit up when he saw the children,” says Carol. “He shook hands with me and the boys, and was gentle with Ka thy (four-year-old whom he kissed). He seemed kind.” General reaction from the family’s circle of friends is that Mikoyan Not Welcome In Argentina WASHINGTON, (NC) — Ar gentina would not welcome a visit by Anastas I. Mikoyan, Soviet First Deputy Premier, Argentine President A r t u r e Frondizi said here during his visit. Dr. Frondizi, speaking at the National Press Club, pledged his country’s determination to resist all Soviet economic and ideo logical penetration. The state ment about a visit by Mr. Mik oyan arose during the question period following his talk. Dr. Frondizi emphasized that he did not criticize the United States for receiving Mr. Mik oyan, since this was a matter for the United States Govern ment to decide. He pointed out, however, that Argentina would not welcome Mr. Mikoyan or any other representative of an alien ideology. Mikoyan Minutes? the members of the Quinlan family were put on a spot, but who knows, some of the Cath olic atmosphere might have rub bed off. Weekly Calendar Of Feast Days (N.C.W.C.

THE BULLETIN, February 7, 1959—PAGE 3 Vatican Quarters Say It Is Too Early To Say What Council Will Discuss; Cardinal Montini Hails Meeting Plan (Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service) ROME — His Eminence Gio vanni Batista Cardinal Montini, Archbishop of Milan, has fore cast that the forthcoming ecu menical council will be “the greatest which the Church has ever celebrated in its 20 cen turies of history.” This estimate of the import ance of the coming council of the Church by a former substi tute secretary of state, a keen observer of Church affairs, gen erally summed up the first com ments of high Italian, and par ticularly, Vatican churchmen. Inquiries by the N.C.W.C. News Service into authoritative Vatican quarters brought the general response that it is much too early to state anything with certainty as to details of the time of convocation or matters to be tested. The general impression is that the Pope’s thought is convoking an ecumenical council has been a closely guarded secret and that many high Vatican au thorities had been taken by surprise. Whether this impression was accurate or not, there was every evidence that, after the first shock, work immediately began in all Vatican congregations on early preparations for the his toric event. A clue as to the general nature of the matters to be considered by the council — and therefore perhaps also his reasons for de ciding to call it — were given by the Pope himself when, fit tingly, he made it known first of all to an assembly of Cardi nals. The Pope pronounced his de cision form a Latin text to 17 Cardinals present. Only a short resume of his statement was is sued to the press. The resume declared that the intention of the Pope “is to make the ecumenical council prove beneficial not only for edification of the Christian peo ple, but also to be an invitation to separated communities to find that unity in the Church desir ed today by so many souls throughout the world.” It was generally believed here that dissenting Oriental groups and Protestants will be invited as they were at the time of the Vatican Council. The Pope him self has given indications re- Famed Jesuit School Seized BEIRUT, Lebanon, (Radio, NC) — The Cairo government has stepped up its war of at trition against Catholic educa tion in Egypt by taking over one of the country’s most re spected schools, it was reported here. The United Arab Republic’s Ministry of Education announc ed the closing of the College de la Sainte Famille, Cairo boys’ school established by French Jesuits a half century ago. Re ports received here indicated that besides closing Sainte Fa mille, which consists of prepara tory and secondary departments, the Cairo government also clos ed two Sisters’ schools which in effect serve as primary schools feeding Sainte Famille. The Jes uit school at Minya, in upper Egypt, was also reported to have been taken over by the government. The UAR Ministry of Educa tion is understood to have charged that the schools taken over were giving courses which provided misinformation about Egypt and the Arab world, and were encouraging religious dif ferences. Archbishop Silvio Oddi, the Apostolic Internuncio in Cairo, reportedly called at the Foreign Ministry to discuss the seizure shortly after it was announced. It was Archbishop Oddi, who in the summer of 1956 — sev eral months prior to his appoint ment as Internuncio — con cluded an agreement with the Egyptian government which agreed to provide instruction in Islam to Moslem students at tending Catholic schools. The government had passed a law the previous year requiring such instruction, and had stipulated confiscation of any school which did not comply. The law called for religious instruction by Moslem teachers within the school. This law was strongly protested by the Chris tian communities. Under the agreement accepted by Arch bishop Oddi; the government conceded that the Islamic in struction for the Moslem stu dents might be given in sep arate premises as long as they were on the school grounds. peatedly in the first months of his pontificate that Christian unity was the greatest of his de sires. In the homily after his coro nation he had said “We have at heart in a very special manner Our task as shepherd of the en tire flock. All other human qualities . . . can succeed in em bellishing and complementing the reign of a Pontiff, but they cannot in any way serve as substitutes for this.” The problem of unity was re peated afterwards in several of his important speeches. It was a problem he knew first hand during his missions in Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey whSre he was in contact with Oriental dissidents for nearly 20 years. When the Pope announced his intention to convoke an ecu menical council, it was also stated that bringing canon law up to date would be one of his special concerns. According to reliable sources in the Roman curia, this will come after, and as a result of, the council. This means that re form of the code will include not only amendments made af ter 1917, when the code was promulgated, but also those changes that might be suggest ed by the council. Comment in Vatican circles following announcement of the council were unanimous in their admiration for the Pope’s great and decisive action. “It is a gesture of the his torian Roncalli, and is in keep ing with the best traditions of the Church,” said one prelate. Another commented that the “reigning Pontiff has the un usual gift of making decisions, even the most momentous, with greatest simplicity, and render ing them uncomplicated.” Cardinal Montini was the first of the prominent church men in Italy to make a public statement about the council. On the day following the Pope’s announcement, he addressed a letter to clergy and faithful of his archdiocese in which he told them that “an historic event of the first importance is about to take place.” He declared: “This council will be the greatest which the Church has ever celebrated in its 20 centuries of history, a great confluence both numeri cally and spiritually, presenting the total and pacific unity of the Church’s hierarchy. It will be the greatest for the univers ality of its dimensions and its true interest to the entire world.” GENERAL TIRES GENERAL BATTERIES TEXACO PRODUCTS GENERAL TIRE & SUPPLY CO.
