PAGE 2—THE BULLETIN, April 14, 1962 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.” Archbishop McGucken was WALTER H.

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 rHE^ Vtiuuiioit HOTEL • FREE PARKING • TV & AIR CONDITIONING • FAMOUS MIAMI BUFFET • PERSIAN LOUNGE • CENTER OF ATLANTA LUCKIE AT CONE ST. 4 Good Address in Atlanta I) I i" ! § I 1 i m I LENOX SQUARE—ON THE MALL CE. 7-1521 Upholstery Fabrics Slipcovers - Drapery SMITH’S SHOES And Brookhaven Shoe Store 1215 Sycamore Si., Decatur, Ga. — DR. 3-3227 2136 North Decatur Plaza — ME. 4-4511 2332 Main St., Tucker, Ga. — 938-2424 Serve . . .

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.” BEST WISHES TO THE NEW ARCHDIOCESE Ruff Realty Company Residential & Commercial 3131 Maple Drive, N.

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.” MARRIAGES SHEEHAN-FRANKLIN AUGUSTA — Miss Louise O’Dowd Franklin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome A. Franklin and John Wilcox Sheehan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Sheehan, were married at St. Mary’s on-the- Hill Church March 30th, Msgr. Daniel J. Bourke of ficiating.
