Laity’s Role Is To Carry Out
Church’s Teachings, Not Tell
It What To Do, Archbishop Says
SAN FRANCISCO, (NC)—
Newly enthroned Archbish
op Joseph T. McGucken of
San Francisco said here it is
the job of Catholic lay lead
ers to carry out the teachings
of the Church and not to
yield to any temptations “to
tell the Church what it
should be teaching.”
The Archbishop warned in
an address at his enthrone
ment (April 3) of the “fickle
inconstancy of the human
mind” in comparison to the
Church’s body of divine truth
and of the transitory nature
of merely human institutions.”

enthroned as the fifth Arch
bishop of San Francisco by
Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi,
Apostolic Delegate to the
United States. Some thirty
members of the hierarchy
attended the ceremony in St.
Mary’s cathedral. Archbishop
McGucken, who had served
as Bishop of Sacramento
since January, 1957, was
named to head the San
Francisco See in February,
1962.
He stated in his address
that while the empires of
conquerors of this world
“have crumbled in dusty
death . . . the kingdom of
God continues its catholic
course.”
“If we examine the history
of merely human institutions,”
Archbishop McGucken con
tinued, “we find that the first
sound of their deathknell
was their own corruption
from within. From this doom
the Church is preserved
through its supernatural min
istry of grace, by which the
unconquerable strength of
God Himself is channeled in

“If the human element in
the Church should tend to
weaken and falter, the su
pernatural ministry restores,
revives and rebuilds it. And
if a renewal of life and a re
form of manners is calied
for, it is not the innovators
nor the revolutionary who
reforms, but rather Christ
Himself . . .”
The Archbishop then said
that “human institutions . . .
have also fallen prey to the
terrible test of experience.”
“When the inventions of
men are proposed in theory,”
he asserted, “it is sometimes
difficult to evaluate them.
But once they are tested in
the crucible of experience
through application to man’s
lives, their weaknesses are
inevitably revealed.
“A patent example of this
is the doctrine of Marx and
Engels, which was branded as
pernicious errors by the Holy
See long before the plaudits
which this doctrine had re
ceived in many centers of
learning had subsided.”
Archbishop McGucken de
clared that the course of the
Church “is chartered along
the way of holiness, justice
and truth.” '
If anyone wishes “to alter
that course towards more
worldly and temporal
achievements,” the Archbish
op continued, and “should
they ask us, as they do,
'Where are your Einsteins or
your Rosenbergs?’ I show you
not one or two technicians. I
show you a vast assembly of
stars that illumine the firma
ment of the Church.”
“I show you the sons of St.
Peter and St. Pius X; I show
you the sons of St. John
Baptist de La Salle, of St.
Ignatius Loyola, of St. Dom
inic and St. Francis, and
many other immortals who
have fathered a family of
saints.”
The Archbishop stated that
another “factor which fash
ions the dissolution of men’s
creations is the fascination of
novelty.”
“New ideas attract new fol
lowers,” he added, “but to
day’s ideas are old tomorrow
and their votaries desert
them.”
“Jesus Christ has con
quered this enemy of human
creation by endowing His
Church with a body of divine
truth ‘ever ancient and ever
new,’ ” said Archbishop Mc
Gucken. “He gave it a gospel
which has no need to bend to
the fickle inconstancy of the
human mind. ‘Heaven and
earth shall pass away,’ he
reminded, ‘but My word shall
not pass away’.”
The Archbishop then ex
plained that “the mandate to
teach divine truth with au
thority” is so vast in “its ap
plication that the bishops
may give their clergy, to the
Religious and even to the
laity a mandate to teach the
truths which the Church de
fines and preaches.”
“Here is the point at which
the laity have a precious op
portunity to participate in
the work of the Hierarchy,”
said the Archbishop. “Ac
cordingly, we call upon . . .
our laymen and laywomen to
become teachers of the truth
which can unite divided
mankind and heal the
wounded world and save it.
“Equally important,” he
added, “is the indispensable
requirement that the lay
apostle teach what the
Church itself teaches and de
fines.
“Let there be any yielding
to the temptations of human
vanity to tell the Church
what it should be teaching
and in what terms it should
present its doctrines,” Arch
bishop McGucken warned,
“and there will follow certain
and tragic deviation from the
path of truth.”

Truman Opposes Aid
For Private Schools
(N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE)
BUFFALO, N. Y. - Former
President Harry S. Truman de
clared here that he is against
Federal aid to all private and
parochial education but that he
supports Federal aid to public
education.
The 77-year-old elder
statesman was in Buffalo to
dedicate formally the William
H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Politi
cal Science at Canisius College.
He made this statement
(March 26) at a press con
ference prior to a lecture de
livered to the student body in the
college’s student lounge. He
also repeated it during a ques
tion and answer period follow
ing the lecture.
The former President also
stated that he is in favor of the
United States giving diplomatic
recognition to the Vatican and
for a U. S. ambassador there.
Mr. Truman gave an emphatic
“Yes!” in response to the ques
tion: “Do you still advocate the
U. S. having formal diplomatic
relations with the Vatican?”
He added: “The Vatican is the
listening post of the world. It
would be of tremendous value
to us to have our government
represented over there. Most
of the nations of the world have
representatives there.”
“I advocated President
(Franklin D.) Roosevelt’s de
cision to send Myron C. Tay
lor to the Vatican (as his per
sonal representative) and con
tinued the practice when I be
came President.
“I also wanted to have an
ambassador over there, but a
filibuster in Congress stopped
me. It was one of the few de
feats I suffered while I was in
office,” he said,
Mr. Truman said there is
nothing in the Constitution which
would prevent diplomatic rec
ognition to the Vatican. He said
that the first and sixth amend
ments to the Constitution back
ed him up in this regard.
The elder statesman also
termed the John Birch Society
“nothing but Ku Klux Klaners
without nightgowns” and called
for U. S. participation in the
European Common Market.
“It involves the welfare of the
whole world, ” he said. “I’ve
always been an advocate of free
trade.” Mr. Truman further
stated that the “United Nations
is an absolute necessity and the
best chance we have to main
tain peace.”
In answer to a question con
cerning the resumption of nu
clear testing, Mr. Truman
called President Kennedy’s de
cision a wise one. He said that
he forsaw no chance of a test
ban agreement with the Soviet
Union, adding that “the main
difficulty with the Russians is
that they won’t tell you the
truth.”
“They’ll make all kinds of
agreements, but they won’t keep
them. I should know. I’ve had
experience along that line,”
he emphasized.
Mr. Truman gave two talks
before the college students and
received an honorary doctor
of laws degree at a special
convocation.
When the former President
arrived here (March 25) among
those who greeted him was
Father Robert J. Nelson, S.J.,
professor of the Fitzpatrick
chair at the college.
The honorary doctor of laws
degree was conferred by Father
James J. McGinley, S.J., col
lege president.
Mr. Truman spoke before the
students in the afternoon and in
the evening. In both of his talks,
he outlined the responsibilities
of the presidency, stating that
“The President’s job is really
six jobs.” He said these jobs
are:
—“The one enumerated in
Article II of the Constitution.
To take care 'that the laws are
faithfully executed.”
—“To be commander -
in-chief of the armed forces,
placing and replacing officers
in command according to the
best interests of the nation.”
—“The President is the for
eign policy maker of the
nation.”
—“The President has legis
lative responsibility. He must
fight for his program. If he
doesn’t, he’s a weak executive.”
—“The President is the head
of his political party-the one
job I got the most kick out of.
He is truly the lobbyist of the
people and he has to do what
is good for those 160,000,000
people.”
—“The President is the so
cial head of the nation. It is
important that he always be a
courteous host to those visit
ing heads of government and
other people from other lands.
This job is just as important
as any other of the six presi
dential jobs.”
Mr. Truman also declared
that the first man to oppose
Federal aid to education was
James Buchanan, who vetoed
a bill in the 1850’s passed by
Congress to give aid to the
state agricultural college in
Michigan.
“This was a bad mistake,”
he added. “All others who op
pose Federal aid to education
use Buchanan’s veto message
as the basis of their argument.”
