PAGE 2—THE BULLETIN, November 25, 1961. Youth Meeting Delegates Will Need Lots Of Courage To Build Better World Elders Expect By Carl A. Balcerak (NCWC News Service) BUFFALO, N. Y. — Dele gates to the National Catholic Youth Convention in Buffalo were told they have so many responsibilities in this troubled world that they must feel like Atlas. “Youth Wearing the Armor of Courage” was the theme of .the convention, (Nov. 9-12) and some 14,000 youngsters who attended will need plenty of grit to fulfill the expectations charted by adult speakers at the meeting. From the keynote speech to the closing sermon, it was stressed that this is not the best of all possible worlds and young people are being de pended upon to make it bet ter. When not listening to their elders’ plea for help, the youngsters engaged in 58 papal discussions in which they voic ed their opinions on such glob al problems as nuclear testing and such lesser ones as teen age dance fads. The keynoter, Gov. John Volpe of Massachusetts, said that youngsters “are the hope of tomorrow” and “all of us expect very much from you.” Among the things expected, he said, are protection of funda mental freedoms and the re vival of moral values. He also said that adults today expect youth “to throw the lie in Khrushchev’s face that com munism is the wave of the future.” Bishop Eustace Smith, O.F.M., Vicar Apostolic of Lebanon, who preached at the Pontifical Mass closing the convention, told the youngsters that some of them may be call ed upon to man space and they should do so “with the love of Christ.” He declared that only a Christ-like spirit can spark their courage for the hardships and moral choices of every day.

A CHILD’S PRAYER the Catholic youth of Ameri ca urged the youths to become better equipped physically and morally to face the perils of the 1960s. He said this would take courage, stamina and de termination, but expressed con fidence that “we can do it.” It was Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh, however, who called attention to the real en emy against whom young peo ple must wage war. The ulti mate enemy is Satan, he stat ed, and “communism, heresies, secularism and fascism are all superficial signs of the enemy.” He added that “it is a waste of the Gospel to do ultimate battle against any thing or one less than Satan.” When the youngsters got a chance to take the play away from their elders, they did so with gusto — in panel discus sions, in their cotillions and in their hectic election of new of ficers. Some of the opinions ex pressed in the discussions fol low: —The most feasible way at present to portest against nu clear testing is to write letters and send petitions to congress men. —Individual youth groups should act against discrimina tion by instilling in their mem bers the concepts of racial just ice and charity. —The dance known as the “twist” is okay if done in mod eration. —Teenage marriages are risky. —Communism is a definite threat. Its social reforms are welcomed by many people, and it is up to Catholics to beat the Reds to the punch in so cial work. The youngsters’ enthusiasm reached its peak at the teen age and young adult cotillions when TV star Dwayne Hick man (Dobie Gillis) and singer Annette Funicello made ap pearances. Both received awards at the convention for their contributions to outstand ing public entertainment. At a convention breakfast, TV star Ed Sullivan received a plaque for his great interest in the youth of this country. Two priests received Padre of Youth awards: Msgr. Joseph E. Schieder, who served as direc tor of the NCWC Youth De partment for 13 years, and Msgr. John P. Wodarski, for mer CYO director of the Hart ford archdiocese who is now pastor of Holy Cross church, New Britain, Conn. In the political sphere, the delegates revised their consti tution, paving the way for sep arate officers for the teenage and young adult sections of the National CYO Federation. James Daly, Jr., of the Boston archdiocese was elected presi dent of the young adult sec tion, and Frank Darigan, Jr., of the Providence diocese was elected to head the teenage section. Claudia Kregg of the Buffalo diocese, elected as vice president of the teenage sec tion of the National CYO Fed eration, is the first Negro to hold office in the federation. Other convention highlights and sidelights follow: —Thirty-two members of the Hierarchy participated in the convention, the largest number ever to take part in a Catholic youth convention in the U. S. —7,750 persons were served at the Gold Ticket Banquet at which Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy spoke. It was “the largest sit-down dinner ever served in the U. S.,” according to Father John J. Conniff, act ing director of the NCWC Youth Department. —At least seven persons at tending the banquet fainted on their way to an exit, and a newly elected officer of the CYO Federation fainted at the closing Pontifical Mass of the convention. —A ton of turkey white meat was served at the ban quet, 48,000 pieces of silver ware were used and 1,700 ta This little girl, one of a throng of 40,000 Catholics at a Christ the King rally in Hong Kong, joins in the recitation of the Rosary.

Bishop Lawrence Bianchi of Hong Kong carried the Blessed Sacrament, accompanied by some 400 priests, seminarians and religious. (NC Photos) By Catholic College Million-Dollar Loss Suffered In Disastrous Coast Fire LOS ANGELES (NC) — Barely escaping complete de struction, Mount St. Mary’s College here suffered' a million dollars damage in *the dis astrous fire which swept through this area (Nov. 6). Their water supply exhaust ed, firemen were preparing to evacuate th eblazing hilltop campus when a convoy of wa ter trucks from a nearby con struction project arrived. Two buildings were com pletely destroyed and the up per floor of one wing of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Caron- delet house of studies was gut ted in the fire. Sister Mary Rebecca, presi dent of the college, and five other nuns returned to the smouldering campus the same night to prepare food and cof fee for the firemen. The next day students and professors, joined by students from Loyola University and a 55-man detachment from the U.S.S. Hornet, joined in a campus-wide cleanup cam paign, while the main fire still raged only a mile away. The following day was Founder’s Day at the school, Mount St. Mary’s 36th anni versary. There was no convo cation this year — just classes as usual (some of them out doors) and a Mass of thanks giving. Plans are now in progress for rebuilding at the school. One sidelight of the college’s near escape from complete de struction was the part played by television in sparking a prayer crusade for its safety. blecloths, covering a length of three miles. —At the closing Pontifical Mass of the convention, attend ed by 11,500 people, 100 priests distributed Communion in five minutes. Television reports of the dis astrous fire brought news of the threat to the college to alumnae and othey friends of the school throughout the area. Many of them took to their phones, calling friends and Catholic schools to ask for prayers that the school might be saved. The prayers were said. And it was just about that time that the first of the water trucks from the Guy F. Atkin son Company construction pro ject arrived on the scene to back up the efforts of the hard-pressed firemen.

Pope John's Encyclical To Honor Statesman, Champion Of Christian Unity, Staunch Foe Of Heresy NCWC News Service) A great statesman, a champ ion of Christian unity and an implacable foe of heresy, Pope St. Leo the Great will be hon ored in the new encyclical of His Holiness Pope John. The new encyclical will pay tribute to 'the pope who directed one of the earlier general councils of the Church. Pope John announced the encyclical to mark the 15th centenary of St. Leo’s death during ceremonies celebrating his 80th birthday and corona tion anniversary. He said of Leo the Great: “The proportions of the greatness of this truly lofty Pope, one of the great Pontiffs who sat on the apostolic throne, are so great that they are apt to dismay any of his successors. . . We have thought of paying him homage through a special document, an ency- lical of imminent publication whoch wil illustrate with de vout admiration has disting uished merits and his person al characteristics in relation to the history of the Holy Church.” It was Leo the Great who, through his legates, directed the Council of Chalcedon in Asia Minor in 451. Chalce don was the fourth ecumeni cal council of the Church and the most important up to that time. Nearly 600 bishops at tended, more than were pres ent at any previous council. Most of them came from the East because of the difficulties caused by the barbarian invas ions then plaguing the West. The council was noted for its doctrinal achievements, which summarized all that had been clarified concerning Christ and the Trinity and adopted a terminology that has remained with the Church. The council also rejected the degrees of the so-called “brig and council” of Ephesus, held two years previously. The “brigand council” was presid ed over by Patriarch Dioscurus of Alexandria, Egypt, who had been excommunicated by St. Flavin, Patriarch of Constan tinople. The teachings of Nes- orjus, who claimed that ChrisT was wholly a man, and oi Eutyches, who denied two na tures in Christ and made Him only God, were condemnedd as heretical. A doctrinal letter written by Pope Leo I to Bishop Flavin, on June 13, 449, was suppres sed by Dioscorus. In the let ter he had clearly set out Catholic doctrine in regard to the two-fold nature of Christ. It was read by Pope Leo’s legates to the Council of Chal cedon, on October 10, 451. Af ter the reading of what has become famous as Leo’s “Dog matic Epistle” or “The Tome of Leo,” the bishops cried out: “Behold the Faith of the fath ers, the Faith of the Apostles. Thus through Leo, Peter has spoken.” Though Leo the Great play- eded an important part in the events of his time, no early biography of him exists. Lit tle is known of his early years. The date of his birth and of his ordination are not known. He is believed to have been born in Rome of a family of Tuscan origin. He was educat ed in Rome where he was re spected for his knowledge and literary style. Some 100 let ters and sermons by St. Leo have been preserved. Before he became Pope, it is known, he was sent in 418 to Bishop Aurelius of Carth age in North Africa with a let ter from Pope St. Zosimus condemning the Pelagian here sy, which denied original sin and the necessity of grace. He was a deacon of the Church under Pope Celestine I (422- 32). He also w'ent on several mis sions to Gaul. On one of these, at the request of the Roman emperor, he was directed to settle a dispute between two generals, Aetius and Alberius. He rendered his greatest service to the state when At- tila the Hun overran Upper Italy in 452. Leo was sent by Emperor Valentinian III to ne gotiate with the barbarian leader. He succeeded in per suading Attila to withdraw his invaders and thus saved Rome and the Western world. A few years later he was again asked to meet invaders at the gates of Rome, when King Genserich of the Van dals sought to sack the city in 455. This time he was only partly successful. Although he was unable to prevent the looting of Rome, he did pre vent its total destruction. For his services to both Church and State he won the title of “The Great,” and hon or given to only two other popes. However, it was not until 1754 that Pope Benedict XIV elevated Leo I to the stat us of a Doctor of the Church. The letters of Pope Leo I, who reigned from September 29, 440, to November 10, 461, shows he paid close attention to even the smallest details of Church government. A skilled theologian, Pope Leo the Great contributed to the advancement of the liturgy and Christian art. Some his torians atribue the Leonian Sacramentary, the oldest form of the Roman Missal, to his reign. He built or restored many churches. When the bishops of Con stantinople sought equal rank with those of Rome, Pope Leo opposed them. He declared that it was contrary to the en tire tradition of the Church, which recognized only the au thority of Peter in Rome. St. Leo the Great died on November 10, 461, after a pon tificate of 21 years. He is bur ied in St. Peter’s basilica be neath the altar which is dedi cated to him. Pope Sergius I observed: “It was fitting that Leo, one of the greatest of the successors of Peter, should, ev en in death, mount guard at the threshold of the apostolic shrine.” Pope Leo’s desire for Christ ian unity is shown in one of his letters, written to a new bishop. In it Leo counseled: “Imitate the Good Shepherd, as a good and zealous pastor of souls, labor to gather them all under the same roof.” TO FILM LIFE OF SAINT PATRICK DUBLIN, (NC)—A movie on the life of St. Patrick, in wide screen color, will go before the cameras here next spring under the direction of Michael Curtiz, who filmed “The Sea Hawk” and “Franois of As sisi.” BIBB STEEL & SUPPLY COMPANY INCORPORATED Fabricated Structural Steel SHerwood 2-7395 P.
