Minister Says
POAU Wrongly
Uses‘Protestant*
PITTSBURGH (NC)—A Con
gregational church pastor here
accused an organization consis
tently critical of the Catholic
Church of wrongly using the
word Protestant in its name.
Pastor Philip J. Ramstad of
West End Congregational
church made the charge against
Protestants and Other Ameri
cans United for Separation of
Church and State (POAU).
In a letter to the Pittsburgh
Catholic, newspaper of the Pitts
burgh diocese, the pastor said:
"I regret that many Roman
Catholics identify the anti-
Church bias of the 'POAU' with
Protestantism. The 'POAU'
wrongly uses the word Protes
tant in its name, for in its ac
tions it opposes Protestant prin
ciples as fully as Roman Cath
olic."
Speaking of the possibility of
a Catholic’s becoming President,
the Rev. Mr. Ramstad said that
“of course, a Protestant, a Ro
man Catholic or a jew in public
office ought to be subject to
his religion in moral issues. If
he were not, he would be a
hypocrite.”
He added that he found “no
evidence that a Roman Catholic
President would be any less
free than a Protestant Presi
dent.”

NEW ORLEANS (NC)—A
moral theologian stated here
that “the supreme goal of the
intellect in its quest for truth
is not science, but wisdom.”
If all the scientific discoveries
of the past 50 years were wiped
out, the world would have a far
greater assurance of a firm
and lasting peace, said Father
Francis J. Connell, C.SS.R.,
former dean of the School
of Sacred Theology at the
Catholic University of America,
Washington, D. C.
In delivering the graduation
address (May 29) at Notre Dame
Seminary in New Orleans, the
Redemptorist priest said that
the destructive purposes of re
cent scientific discoveries is a
“sad reflection on the findings
of some of the most brilliant
scientific minds the world has
ever produced.”
Speaking of the progress of
science, he said no one—at least
no one in conformity with the
mind of the Catholic Church-
will deny that the progress
made in science is very com
mendable. The Catholic Church
looks upon scientific findings as
proofs for the existence of an
all-wise and all-powerful creator
who “manifests His perfections
through the forces and laws of
nature,” he said.
The priest-theologian warned,
however, that “perhaps the
greatest disaster” in our modern
era would be to regard science
—even understood in its great
est sense—as the highest per
fection of the human mind.
“For the supreme goal of the
intellect in its quest for truth
is not science,” he said, “but
wisdom.”
Father Connell explained that
“wisdom is that intellectual
habit that views all things, par
ticularly all branches of science,
in their relation to the First
Cause, God.” He termed wis
dom “the coordinator of the
sciences.”
Father Connell said that all
forms of science are deficient
if wisdom is lacking to “direct
them aright and to illumine
them with the light that comes
from God.” He asked:
“What does it profit a man
if he can chart the course of the
stars and yet ignore the fact
that the ‘heavens show forth
the glory of God?’ What ad
vantage is it to discover the ab
struse laws of atomic energy
and to fail to realize that they
are a manifestation of God’s
own wisdom and power?”
ON THE MARCH
It’s all right to dream, but
the man w r ho succeeds stays
awake and accomplishes some
thing.

ORDINATION OF FATHER BOERDAM BONNEVIE
WIFE PRESENT AT CEREMONY
Married Man, Former Lutheran
Pastor, Ordained To Priesthood
tXTCBMINATOas M
CE. 7-8694 Free Inspection
Atlanta, Ga.
. COPENHAGEN, (NC) — A
married man who was once a
Lutheran pastor was ordained
a priest in the cathedral here.
Father Olav Boerdam Bon-
nevie, 54, was ordained by Bish
op Johannes Suhr, O.S.B., of
Copenhagen. His wife, also a
convert to Catholicism, was pre
sent at the ceremony.
Father Bonnevie had been
given special permission by the
Holy See to become a priest and
remain in the married state.
Pastor of a Lutheran parish
in North Jutland for 12 years,
Bonnevie was received into the
Catholic Church in 1945. His
wife and only daughter follow
ed him into the Church two
years later.
The perimssion given Father
Bonnevie to advance to the
priesthood parallels several cas
es in Germany where convert
ministers who are married have
been permitted to become
priests and continue to lead the
married life. Since World War
II, about a half dozen Lutheran
ministers in Germany have re
ceived permission for ordina
tion to the priesthood white
their wives were still living.
Among them is Father Rudolf
Goethe, collateral descendant of
the poet, whose wife had a seat
cf honor at his ordination in
Mainz in December, 1351.
Father Bonnevie will serve as
a curate in St. Therese’s parish
in suburban Hellerup. He will
also continue his work at Cop
enhagen’s Catholic Inquiry Cen
ter, which he helped found.
Many of Father Bonnevie’s
forefathers were Lutheran min
isters. Those of his' mother have
been ministers from father to
son for 400 years. His mother
taught him as a child to make
the sign. of the Cross, as she
herself had learned it from her
father.
For many years Father Bon
nevie had been held back from
conversion through lack of ade
quate information on the true
nature of Catholic doctrine. For
a long time he nurtured the
hope that the values he sought
might be found within the Dan
ish High Church movement. He
was 23 when he attended Mass
for the first time and lost his
original prejudice that the Mass
is a soulless and mechanical ce
remony, but he needed another
16 years to shed his other pre
judices.
He became convinced of the
truth of the Catholic Church
while in England, and resigned
his pastorate in 1945 so he could
be received into the Church.
After leaving his Protestant
mirfistry Father Bonnevie was
for many years a teacher in a
primary school at one third of
his former salary. His wife, not
yet a Catholic, made no objec
tions to the sacrifices involved.
In 1953 he began studies in
philosophy and theology in
Ciervaux, Luxembourg, where
the famous Benedictine abbey
is located, and continued his
