ST. PAUL, Minn., (NC) — A panel of spiritual leaders is a highlight of a dynamic new traffic safety program for teenagers here. The program was intro duced last August by Juvenile Court Judge Archie Gingold “not to sentence offenders but to work with them.” Since then 450 boys and girls have attended the safe driving clinic at which they hear talks from police and in surance representatives a n d visit hospitals and the morgue to view on effects of reckless driving. A highlight of the day-long sessions is the panel on moral responsibility of drivers. Mem bers are attorney Joseph Hheinberger; Allan Bennett, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., (NC) — The Mass is the only an swer to the biggest challenge facing today’s world, “the challenge of forming one hu man race,” a Jesuit theologian said here (May 21). Father Bernard Cooke, S.J., chairman of the theology de partment at Marquette Uni versity, Milwaukee, said the most powerful, lasting source of unity between men is the lesson of love that radiates from the Eucharistic sacrifice. Giving the year’s final Cath olic Thought lecture at the Catholic Youth Center, Father Cooke said isolationism is^ im possible in the modern world. “But one world doesn’t neces sarily mean one mankind,” he said. “It’s up to us to work for real unification instead of just rubbing elbows in conflict. “We need a unity broad enough to transcend all in dividual differences of politics, economics, cultures, person alities.” He said communism, claim ing it has the inevitable solu tion, appeals to many people. “We can’t solve the conflict education director of Mount Zion Temple; the Rev. Paul Engstrom, executive secretary of the St. Paul Council of Churches; and Father Paul Palmitessa, assistant pastor of St. Paul cathedral: “We don’t preach,” Father Palmitessa commented. “We just get together for an hour’s discussion of the question. And the response is gratifying. We tell them they must practice courtesy and charity on the road.” The priest added that teen agers “have a latent sense of responsibility.” “Once it’s been reached they respond,” he replied. “They say they like the panel dis cussion because there’s no preachings.” with communism by opposing it with our American way of life” Father Cooke said. “We can’t impose American democ racy on parts of the world where it isn’t compatible” with social structures. He said there is only one unity that can encompass all men: the “unity of faith.” Kotre lane Degrees For 3 Georgians NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Three students from the Diocese of Savannah received degrees at the University of Notre Dame’s 116th annual commencement exercises June 4th.

(NC Photos) Says Mass Is Only Answer To World’s Biggest Challenge QUESTION BOX By David Q. Liptak Q. Without appealing to authority other than Sacrsd Scripture itself, how can I prove to a Bible-reading Protestant that the words spoken by Christ when in stituting the Blessed Eucha rist were meant literally; i.e., that the phrase "This is My Body" is not a figure of speech? I don't know whe ther such a proof is possible unless one brings in the commentaries of the Fathers and the teachings of the Church. But if it is possible, could you summarize the ar gument? A. Of course the literal meaning of the words used by Christ in instituting the Bless ed Eucharist is evident in Sac red Scripture. Each of the four sacred writers who de scribe the institution of the Blessed Sacrament (SS. Mat thew, Mark, Luke and John) clearly indicate that the Sav iour did not use a figure of speech, but that He meant ex actly what He said. ONE OF THE primary rules of language is that words ought to be understood in their natural and literal sense, unless it is apparent they are being employed figuratively. The latter could happen be cause of 1) the over-all con text, 2) an explanatory pre face or 3) a peculiar usage af fixed by custom. But the con text in which Christ spoke is obviously literal. Nor did He forewarn His Apostles that He did not really mean what He said. And it is pre-posterous to allege that a phrase so sim ple as “This is My Body” should be understood in ac cordance with some peculiar, esoteric usage. THE FACTUAL SENSE of Christ’s words is also evident from the circumstances of the institution as recorded in the New Testament. First, the Apostles were plain-thinking, literal-minded men, so much so that many of Christ’s para bles had to be explained to them point for point. Second ly, Our Divine Lord instituted the Eucharist on the night be fore He suffered and died, during His final hours, there fore. Surely this was no time for metaphors. ANOTHER POINT. The primitive rendering of the Greek text (in appealing to New Testament Scripture, one cannot ignore the fact that it was composed in the Greek idiom) indicates this meaning: “This is the body (the very body) of Me.” To contend that a phrase like this could pos sibly be a figure of speech de fies reason — a fact accident ally confirmed in that those who do claim the words are merely symbolic cannot agree on one of more than 200 fab ricated, fantastic explanations. AMONG THE SPECIFIC objections raised against the literal interpretation of Christ’s words is this one: The expression “This is My Body” can be compared to obviously figurative sentences like “I am the vine, you are the branch es” (St. John XV 5) and “(Sa rah and Agar) are the two covenants” (Galations IV: 24), etc. SUCH OBJECTIONS, how ever, are invalid. For in all the latter phrases, the sub ject is either a noun or a pro noun (I, you) whereas in the words Christ used, the subject is the neuter demonstrative “This.” Tooj in the alleged similar texts, the subjects and the predicate nominatives are entirely distinct from each other — it is precisely because they cannot be identified that the verb “is” (“are”) can be interpreted as “signifies.” All of which is pointed to by the context in which these texts are used, or allegory, or para ble or prophecy of type. ONE FINAL argument. In instituting the Eucharist, Christ gave us exactly what He promised. But He promised He would give us His flesh to eat and His blood to drink (St. John VI: 48 seq.). One would have to be blind to sense or ignorant to interpret this latter text in any other way. SO THAT from Scripture alone it is plain that Christ is truly, really and substantially present after the Consecration in the Sacrifice of the Mass. * * * Q. Is it known for certain just when ihe first formal canonization occurred? A. Insofar as solid historical evidence now attests, the first formal canonization was that of St. Ulrich, Bishop of Augs burg, at the Lateran Council in 933. It was not until 1234, however, that the Holy Father reserved the right of formal canonization exclusively to himself.
