News Service) LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A Latin American expert warn ed here that “the Catholic Church in Latin America to day is in deep trouble.” Father John J. Considine, M.M., called for “dedicated co operation” by U. S. Catholics with the Holy See’s program for the Church in Latin America. Father Considine, address ing the 30th biennial conven tion of the National Council of Catholic Women (Nov. 2), urged U. S. Catholic organiza tions. to be generous in sup porting the Holy See’s plan for papal volunteers to serve in Latin America. Under the “volunteers” plan, Catholic laymen will go to Latin America to aid lay leaders there in apostolic work on behalf of the Church. Father Considine, director of the Latin American Bureau, National Catholic .Welfare Conference, said recently that the first U. S. volunteers are expected to be in Latin Ameri ca by the end of 1961. In his talk to the women’s council convention, he pointed out that the Holy See’s plan calls for the volunteers to be organized into teams under the sponsorship of Catholic orga nizations, parishes and schools. He said the sponsoring groups are to assume personal responsibility for each volun teer, pay for his training and travel expenses, and keep in touch, with him during his period of service. The volun teers will serve from two to five years, with an option of serving longer if they wish, he two brothers, James A. Spar- go, Jr., and William J. Spargo, all of Rome, N.Y.

Latin American Award Planned NEW YORK, (NC) — A $1,- 000 award for “notable com munity service” will be pre sented to a citizen of a South American nation in a cere mony here November 10. The prize will be one of the Lane Bryant International Volunteer Awards. The name of the South American win ner has not been announced. It was erroneously reported ■earlier that Archbishop Held- er Pessoa Camara, Auxiliary Bishop of Rio de Janeiro, had won the award. However, while Archbishop Camara is a candidate, the winner has not yet been announced. said. Father Considine declared that “any community of zeal ous Catholics may supply pa pal volunteers.” “Any U. S. parish may band together with other parishes and provide a team. The Holy See hopes that many Catholic colleges and universities will organize a team, supplying replacements as team mem bers complete their overseas term. The papal call will be heard, we are sure, by many diocesan and parochial groups of women of the NCCW.” Among other programs un dertaken by the U. S. Church to aid Catholicism in Latin America be listed: providing 400 scholarships to Latin American seminarians during 1960-61; financing vocational programs in poor dioceses; paying 60 per cent of the con struction cost of a new region al seminary planned for north east Brazil; establishing 50 new high schools and colleges in Latin America during the 1960’s; and sending 1,000 priests and Religious to the area in the next five years. Among the special problems of the Church in Latin Ameri ca the Maryknoll priest listed the condition of the agricul tural workers and the indus trial proletariat, the inroads made by communism, and the shortage of religious voca tions. He pointed out that 60 per cent of the 190 million peo ple in Latin America live in rural areas and that the “larg est single bloc” among these are the field workers or “campesinos.” Traditionally, he said, the material and spiritual needs of these workers were cared for by the owners of the big es tates under a system of social paternalism. However, with the outbreak of class struggle, the campes inos have become aware of in justices in their treatment, he said. “Slow of spirit though cam pesinos were, a continental chilliness grew up between patrons and workers and with it a certain loss of solicitude on the part of the owner,” he said. Father Considine said this “coolness” on the part of the campesinos has extended also to the Church. Reactionary land-owners in some Latin American countries succeeded in preventing publication of the paps" social encyclicals, he declared. Many owners have with drawn from their estates,- and the result has been “dire” for the spiritual life of the work ers, he said, since it is difficult for priests to reach the work ers without active cooperation by the owner. “In addition to ignorance of fundamental doctrine, such as the divinity of Christ, it is not unusual to find hacienda populations where 60 to 70 percent of the couples are without religious marriage,” he said. Father Considine noted that as industrialization has in creased in Latin America, “millions of workers” and their families have left the rural areas and moved to cities where many of them live in slums. It is to these industrial workers that the communists make their principal appeal, Father Considine warned. “A factor in Red tactics is to preach constantly the injustic es of all Christian elements in society,” he declared. “Criticisms of the Catholic Church are not leading many people to choose other Chris tian bodies. The temptation to day is to abandon all religion for the bitter ashes of class hatred.” He described the Latin American clergy shortage as “the greatest in the entire Catholic world.” Some 160 million Catholics in the area have only 35,000 priests, or about one per 5,000. Citing bright spots in the Latin American picture, Fa ther Considine noted that the total number of zealous Cath olics is probably as large there as in the U. S., though the percentage is lower. “One who truly learns to know Latin America comes af ter a while to tread softly along its pathways and to gaze respectfully at every passing figure, even though lowly and in rags,” he said. “Latin America has its share of scoundrels surely, but it is one of the areas of the globe where a surprisingly large number of men are living ac cording to peerless Christian ideals. Certainly the papal program for Latin America merits our dedicated coopera tion.” Patronize Our Advertisers PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY MACON, GEORGIA M. E.
