collar or black habit, wimple and coif. God has intended,
it seems , that I be a layman working as a first class
layman, I hope, within the structure of the Church. The
complaints registered in magazine articles, I find absurd.
I have never encountered any form of prejudice in the
near-fourteen years I have worked for the Church because
I am a lay person. Many of the critical articles are written
by those who have taught for a year of little more in Catholic
schools. I have fourteen years to compare to that and
my story and attitude is no exception, I am sure. If the
layman’s lament was based upon monetary gain alone, I
might sympathize but most are bitterly critical of the atti
tudes of the priests and religious for whom they work.
Something must be done to adequately compensate the
lay teacher who will be needed increasingly to staff Catholic
and parochial schools, and also lay editors and writers
on diocesan newspapers. It is one thing, I realize, for a
single woman to mention salary needs and it is another for
the father of a family. Yet it cannot be forgotten in. any
article written about the laity, that the religious, the clergy
are those who have given their entire lives to God, sacri
ficed and dedicated their talents and days. The layman,
no matter how tremendous his dedication and sacrifice,
has not given his whole life but parts of it, hours of it
and years of it, not the entire life. True there may be
moments of friction and I have experienced them, too,
but what a fractional part of the experience. In working
with priests and religious, I find that there is a comple
menting of ideas. It is sad that an image of dissatis
factory relationship between laity and religious is the
one stressed and given. As for me, I have never once
considered myself a second-class citizen as a layman work
ing with religious. I know that the layman is as necessary in
his contribution as the religious is in his or hers. We
complement and not compete.

Self-Denial To Prepare For Council
LONDON, (NC) — William
Cardinal Godfrey asked the
people of his Westminster arch
diocese to hold a day of self-
denial on September 21 in pre
paration for the Second Vati
can Council.
The Cardinal noted that the
day is Friday in Ember Week.
He urged Catholics to give up
"ordinary pleasures such as
sweets, alcohol, tobacco and
entertainments." and also "to
drop an offering into the alms
box.”
The Cardinal, recalling His
Holiness Pope John XXIII’s re
quest for prayer and penance
in preparation for the council,
gave three other directives in
a pastoral letter (Aug. 12).

spiritual guides such as Krish
na, Rama, Shiva, Parpati, Bal-
aji, Ganesh and many others.
I was bewildered by the num
ber and at a loss to know to
whom I was to pray. Some
Hindus seek salvation by ap
palling ascetic practices, while
others seek it by committing
robbery even murder.
"I associated with Protes
tants of various denominations
and was puzzled to find they
too differ so much among them
selves. Some believe that Christ
is God: others regard Him as
great teacher but only a man.
I read the Bible and found
Baptists, Methodists, Angli
cans, Lutherans and Presby
terians disagreeing as to how
important texts are to be un
derstood. It was obvious to me
that they couldn’t all be correct.
"If one interpretation is cor
rect, all who disagree with it
must be wrong. Thus if Christ
is truly the Son of God, all
who assert He is merely a
man, must be in error. It was
as simple as that. Then I be
came acquainted with a Catho
lic family, Mr. and Mrs. David
and their daughters Josephine
and Mary.
“They introduced me to Ca
tholicism and explained many
of its teachings. Another zea
lous Catholic, Mr. Paramanand,
explained the Mass and then
took me with him to it. As I
studied the religion carefully
I was struck by its marvelous
unity: 550,356,721 members all
professing the same Faith,
united in the same worship,
and acknowledging the same
authority. Here is God's stamp
and seal. My search was ended.
“I went to St. Xavier Church
in Hyderabad Sind, where Fa
ther E. Gedea, S. J., gave me
a complete course of instruc
tion and received me into the
one true Church. My sister
also became a Catholic. The
percentage of Catholics in In
dia is small, but my great hope
and prayer is that more of my
countrymen will embrace the
Faith of Christ. Attending holy
Mass and receiving Our Eu-
Priests of the Westminster
diocese were ordered to say the
prayer to the Holy Ghost at all
Masses until the end of the
council.
A solemn novena of prayer
to the Holy Ghost is to be held
in the diocese from Octover 1
so as to end on the day the
council opens. During the coun
cil the clergy should arrange
for the Stations of the Cross
and the hymn to the Holy Ghost
to be sung after Benediction.
Finally the Cardinal called
for greater attendance at daily
Mass and Benediction, and more
frequent reception of com
munion. He also called for the
regular singing of hymns to the
Holy Ghost.
charistic Lord brings one many
joys and blessings and more
that repay any sacrifices."

dared:
"THEOLOGIANS have care
fully examined the degree of re
sponsibility which attaches to
actions of this kind (i.e., mis
haps caused in an indirect man
ner) and have laid down certain
principles to guide us. Ap
plying these principles to motor
casualties it seems clear that
moral responsibility is to be
imputed to the driver if able
care, if he had foreseen was
a possible effect of his type of
driving, and if any element of
risk in his driving was not
-necessary at the time."
OBVIOUSLY, then, freedom
from legal blame in a given ac
cident does not indicate free
dom from moral guilt. Knowing
ly to harass another driver, for
example, to the point where he
alone is accountable under the
law, is unquestionable to burden
one’s own conscience.

Q. Catholic educators keep
on saying that the question of
federal aid to children in paro
chial schools is not a religious
one. Yet it is basically re
ligious, isn’t it?
A. Catholic educators keep
saying that the question of fed
eral aid to children in paro
chial schools is not a religous
one because it really isn't.
There are of course religious,
aspects to it. But fundamentally
the issue is one of justice.
No dogma is involved as such,
nor is there any "official Catho
lic position." The whole matter
can be reduced simply to this:
Whether federal aid to schools
should become law is clearly
a problem in the political and
economic orders. But if federal
aid should come, then children
in nonprofit private and paro
chial schools should not be
discriminated against.

glorious age for the Catholic
Church," he said.
