Exiled Bishop Warns Cubans Against Unity Of Negative Character MIAMI, FLA., (NC)—Cubans were warned against forming a unity of an “exclusive nega tive character” by an exiled prelate here. Auxiliary Bishop Eduardo Boza Masvidal of Havana, in terviewed here, advised: “We must not unite ourselves solely to strive against something— but to strive for something.” Political unity in the face of Fidel Castro’s communis tic regime in Cuba must be “based on some minimum prin ciples in which all Cubans of good will can concur and which can serve as the common De nominator,” Bishop Boza said. The prelate, who was banish ed from Cuba last year by Cas tro, suggested such minimum as: a spititual and Christian concept of life; a desire for Sharing Our Treasure (continued from page 4) stirrmg sermon transported me to anotner world. It was a moving experience and kindled an interest that was to change the whole course of my life. With the crushing of Hitler’s forces, we burned our uniforms and returned home. I played on a Catholic soccer team and attended the Mass at which the team received Holy Communion each month. “When I told mother that I wanted to become a Catho lic, she objected strenuously and called in two ministers to talk me out of the notion. I listened to them but remained in my intention. I would se cretly bicycle to another town on Sunday to hear an evening Mass. There I met an elderly lady who, on learning of my desire to become Catholic, arranged for my instruction by her son, Father Karl Stel- kens. “That disclosed to me the divine establishment of the Catholic Church, her authori zation by Christ to teach all nations and His promise to be with her all days, protecting her from error. In that divine protection I perceived the se cret of the marvelous unity which distinguished the Catho lic Church from all the creeds founded by men. The doctrine of the Real Presence made an especial appeal to me. “Learning of my intention to become a Catholic, relatives got three ministers to try again to dissuade me. The session lasted from 4 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. but ended in failure. Later I went to Attendorn, 40 miles away, where in a hospital chapel Father Achatius, O.F.M., re ceived me into Christ’s true Church and gave me my First Holy Communion. “Wanting to share my holy Faith with many others, I join- t ed the Congregation of the Holy Cross and was ordained in Rome in 1961. I celebrated Holy Mass in my home town, with my parents attending. Why God singled me out for the wonder ful figt of faith, I’ll never know, but I’ll thank Him all the days of my life.” (Father O’Brien will be glad to have converts send their names and addresses to him at Notre Dame University, No tre Dame, Indiana, so he may write up their conversion stories.) a truly free country where the God-given rights to every man are respected, and a desire for a country in which true social justice will prevail. For Cubans of the future Bishop Boza recommended "religious education as basic and indispensable.” He said: “I believe that state secular ism, such as has been under stood in Cuba and in some other Latin American countries, is not true secularism but prac tical atheism. If we oppose communism because it is athe istic, we must begin by not being atheists and learn from communism to give all t 2 im portance it deserves to the problem of training the minds of our youth.” . Bishop Boza reiterated that he is opposed to clericalism in civil life. He said: “I be lieve that the Church and the State are two distinct societies and that each must remain with in its role to fulfill its aim. Therefore, very wisely, the Church wants its priests to stay out of the political field. Despite pressures that have been made upon me, I have remained outside the political fields.” The Bishop was asked to ex pand on a previous statement he made in which he opposed both capitalistic and proletarian dic tatorships. He said the path to be followed is the one which will “ safeguard both individual freedom and human solidarity.” without dictatorship from any one. The Bishop recommended “the path of the Gospel that stresses not only respect for every individual, dignity of the human person and the rights derived from God, but also that every individual be a mem ber of the community and have duties toward his fellow man whom he is to love as himself and with whom he is to feel as one in interests.” Bishop Boza said he did not favor all Cuban Catholics join ing one political party. He poin ted out there is no official Cuban Catholic party, but “there may be one or more parties of Christian inspiration, and everyone must see where he can, in conscience, most effectively work for the good of the motherland.” Bishop Boza was asked about his views concerning the problem after the downfall of Castroism of thousands of Cu ban youths indoctrinated with Marxism. “I believe this problem of youth is the most serious of all in Cuba at the present time,” the Bishop replied. “Com munism knows it could hardly succeed by trying to change the older population, so it pla ces all of its hopes on youth. Therefore the first thing it does is to control totally the education of youth. Up to now this evil has not become too deep, but will grow increasing ly serious each year commun ism endures. “I believe we have two things to do,” the prelate continued. “The first is to train our youth All Types of Lock Work 24-HOUR SERVICE Master Locksmith, Incorp. 472 Ponce de Leon Ave., N.

If we are to take advantage of time we should do so with an intense forma tion of our youth in exile. Even school children must be train ed and prepared toward recon struction of the motherland. “Secondly, there must be in tense efforts at re-education,” the Bishop said. “This work must not follow the indoctrina tion or the brain washing of the communist pattern, but must be conducted to offer the young people the Christian ideals of life. It must raise their enthu siasm and inspire them to chan nel all their energies toward truth and goodness.” Question Box (Continued from page 4) ness or the wrongness of an act can be assessed. Each per son, the theory maintains, must arrive at moral decisions on the basis of an alleged direct relationship with God. And God, it assumes, is not really in terested <*about the agreement or lack of agreement of human acts with objective moral val ues, but rather in the “right intention” with which the in dividual, faced with concrete moral problems, responds to crises. Pope PL-s XII cited these instances of situation ethics in one of his statements on the subject: “If a seriously trained con science decided that abandon ing the Catholic Faith and join ing another religion brings it closer to God, then such a step would be ‘justified’ . . . Another example is the corpo ral and spiritual gift of one’s self among young people. Here a seriously trained conscience would decide that, because of a sincere mutual inclination, physical and sensual intimacies are in order.” Situation ethics as such was spawned and brought to ma- tu ity during World War II and its aftermath, when, for the first time in modern history, a host of awful moral dilemmas be came commonplace: the ethics of the use and the avoidance of torture, for example; the licitness of collaborating with the enemy, sabotage, espion age, engaging in the black mar ket, etc. An excellent example of how the theory works in practice is given by Fathers Ford and Kelly in their Con temporary Moral Theology: “(Take the case of) two girls, one of whom courageously gives up a love affair with a man whom she decides she has no right to marry, the other of whom continues a love affair with a married man because, according to her, the one thing that counts is the grand amour The existentialist solution is that, though the conduct of these two girls is diametrically op posed according to traditional moral standards, yet each is in reality right because she is sincere with herself.” Danes Aid Lepers COPENHAGEN, Denmark, (NC) - Saint Vincent clubs founded by Danish Catholics have raised funds to aid le pers in Vietnam, India and Afri ca.

Pope John Approves New Prayers VATICAN CITY (NC)— His Holiness Pope John XXIII has approved two new prayers to which have been attached indulgences. The first prayer includes five points and is to be recited be fore or after Holy Communion. The text reads: “I. I detest and abominate each and all of my sins and those committed by all others from the beginning of the world up to the present moment, as well as those which will be committed from now until the end of the world. And if I can, I will halt them by the grace of God whom I prayerfully in voke. “II. I praise and approve all good works, carried out from the beginning of the world until the present and moreover all that will be carried out until the end of the world. And if I can, I will multiply them by the grace of God whom I pray erfully invoke. “III. I intend to do all things, to say all things and to think in all things for the greater glory of God, with all those good intentions which the saints, past, present and future, have had, have or will have. “IV. I pardon and forgive with all my heart all those who are my enemies and all those who have calumniated me and de spised me, as well as all those who have injured me or who wish me ill. “V.

I would do this willingly with the grace of God, which, for this reason, I invoke with suppli cation and without which I can can do nothing. Amen.” To this prayer there is at tached a partial indulgence of three years when it is recited, with at least a contrite heart, after of before Communion. A plenary indulgence is attached to this prayer, under the usual conditions, once a month if it is recited daily for the month. The second prayer is for the needs of others and it carries the same indulgences. The text reads: “Lord God Almighty, Father of Christ, Your Blessed Son, who grants the prayers of those who honestly invoke Your aid, who knows the prayers even of those who are silent, We give You thanks because You have held us worthy to participate in Your holy mysteries which You have shown us so that we may be fully persuaded by those things which we know well, by the protection of piety, by the remission of sins, while the name of Christ is invoked upon us and we are united with You. “You , who have separated us from the company of the impious, join us with those who are consecrated to You; confirm us in the truth by means of the Holy Spirit; reveal those things which we do not kpow; supply those things which we lack; make our knowledge deeper. “Preserve in innocence the priests dedicated to Your wor ship; protect inpeace the rulers of peoples, in justice the jud ges; grant good weather, abund- and crops; protect the world through Divine Providence. “Quiet warlike peoples, con vert those in error, sanctify Your people.

The Pope’s good wishes were expressed in a radio message delivered in French (July 5). Independer :e came to the for mer French north African ter ritory (July 3) following an overwhelming vote for freedom in the election of July 1, which took place after more than sev en years of civil war between French and Algerians. The country continues, however, to be torn by strife, as two Mos lem factions battle each other and incidents of violence still mar relations between Moslems and Europeans. Pope John said that Algeria has been in his prayers in recent years and that he re joiced that his prayers had been answered. He expressed concern for “those nations where a certain established order, while bring ing some economic well being, does not correspond to the re quirements of the spirit. . .to the rights and duties of the human person.” Each day, Pope John said, “We speak to God of the needs of the Wole human family, and every morning we gather all peoples around Our altar. . . We are always anxious for those Honor Founder P0STE VATICANE L50 mens and make them worthy of being received into the Church; and reunite all of us in the Kingdom of Heaven, in Christ Jesus, Our Lord, for whom, with You and with the Holy Ghost, there is glory, honor and veneration forever, Amen.” 1962 PAULINA M JARICOT OPBU PROPAGANDAS FIDO INHIUM DEDIT The Vatican has issued a new series of stamps honor ing the 100th anniversary of the death of Pauline Jarico, a founder of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

He added: “We shall continue to pray that courageous wisdom, mo derating prudence, justice and equity may prevail in all things.” The Pontiff prayed that God may “enlighten the minds of rulers and direct the good will of all toward the peaceful tri umph of the indestructible prin ciples of the eternal law which God has engraved in the heart of every man.” Jottings (Continued from Page 4) student of mine at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, In diana, was one of the first Peace Corps brides in the Philip pines. Love is the same in all languages, they said. Church history abounds in the examples of dedicated missionaries, many who are the Church's best known saints: Saint Patrick, St. Paul, St. Frances Xavier, to name only a few. In a supernatural way, they anticipated today’s Peace Corps by centuries. Yet in our time, we have known the example of a young layman whose personal example and work in Asia won more friends for America than the billion- dollar aid programs. Dr. Thomas Dooley gave a whole new image of Western man to the poor of Asia and Africa. Certainly such a man should serve a s model for those who now go to all nations representing America.
