hood. I have discussed this with many religious who seem
to think that more than ever we have become a self-centered
people. Women with their opportunities of equality in salaries
and job opportunities become tutored in thinking of self
instead of others. A continual diminishing of the qualities
of womanhood—sacrifice, modesty, giving more than getting,
has contributed to this ever-increasing vocation shortage
of nuns.
My young student friend had just told her fellow workers
that she was entering the convent. She was afraid to tell them
because of the widespread ignorance which surrounds reli
gious life. She was advised that it was an apostolate in itself
to tell her co-workers what she was doing and why, so that
they would know that red-blooded normal attractive American
girls do wish to become nuns.
The future postulant wrote me:
“Oh, you just couldn’t in this world believe the ignorance
that people have on the subject of nunsl They just think
that only people who are fat and ugly and who couldn’t
earn a living in any other way—as one fellow put it—enter
convents. I walk down a hall and hear the whispers about
me. People hesitate to mention it as if some great tragedy
had struck my life and they weren’t sure of the right words
to use to comfort me. I was honestly scared to death to
mention it in the first place but the more I discuss it with
people and try to explain my motives and the life itself
the more I am personally convinced, too, that it is right and
I gain more confidence every step of the way. I’m so glad
God gave me the courage to admit it before the world,
despite the ignorance surrounding the subject.’’
These are the stories which don't make best sellers or
headlines. The Sister, although living in a cloistered convent,
is no less a part of the world than those who walk the streets
of the city and ride the buses and work in the big buildings.
They are ever aware of what is going on in the world. Their
prayers are behind every endeavor of ours as the Holy
Father reminded: “All things are of your concern.”

Council of the Lateran in 1123.
At the very first ecumenical
council at Nicaea in 325 (the
site is the present Iznik in Tur
key, about 70 miles from an
cient Constantinople on the Asi
atic shore of the Bosphorus)
only a few Western bishops were
among the more than 300 at
tending. Records indicate that
Africa, Spain and Gaul were
each represented by only one
bishop. The pope did not go to
the council personally, but sent
two legates to speak and act
for him. Too, the approximately
500 bishops present at Chal-
cedon in 451 (the fourth general
council) were all from the East;
the West was represented only
by five papal legates (the num
ber given by Dr. Hubert Jedin
in his history).
With the First Lateran Coun
cil after the turn of the mil-
lenium, the stage for the coun
cils shifted to the Western
World. Yet even then the issues
discussed were frequently ori
ental in significance or scope.
One of the causes underlying
the Fourth Lateran Council in
1215, for instance, was the
liberation and recovery of the
Holy Land. Reunion with the
Greeks was a prime reason for
the Second Council of Lyons in
1274. And a measure of unity
was achieved not only with the
Greeks but with others (such
as the Armenians and the Copts)
during the Council of Basel-
Ferrara-Florence, which ter
minated in 1445.
The Vatican Council which
was held a little less than a
hundred years ago offers an
interesting study in universality
of representation. Of the 744
bishops present at one time or
another during the delibera
tions, at least 200 were from
Italy itself, where, alone—to
borrow Msgr. Philip Hughes’
phrase—“the custom of the
primitive church had continued,
that each city should have its
bishop.” According to the same
historian, more than 120 were
from English-speaking lands
(46 from the United States) 70
from France, 58 from Germany
and the Austrian Empire, 36
from Spain, 30 from Latin
America, about 100 from mis
sion territories in Asia, Africa
and Oceania, and 50 from the
Oriental Rite Churches.

Says Greek
Rite Is A Key
To Unity
DUESSELDORF, Ger. (NC)~
The Greek Rite of the Catholic
Church is a key to Christian
reunion, an Eastern Rite pre
late said here.
Archbishop Gabriel Abou-
Saada mentioned a remark of
Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J.,
head of the Second Vatican
Council’s Secretariat for Pro
moting Christian Unity, that the
Church is Catholic, not Latin.
“This statement,’’ the Arch
bishop siad, “must be put more
into practice. It constitutes a
wish of the Greek Catholic
Church which will be brought
out at the Second Vatican Coun
cil.”
The Archbishop said the Ger
man bishops agreed with him
“that the Greek Catholic
Church must come into the
view of the Catholic public more
than it has up to now.”

wife.
“Regardless of the weather,
Henrietta went off to Mass each
Sunday, received Holy Com
munion and said her morning
and night prayers. I couldn't
fail to notice the great help
and joy she derived from the
devout practice of her Faith.
After about six years, I began
to accompany her to Mass.
Working for the Singer Sewing
Machine Company, I had to do
a great deal of traveling.
“Whenever possible I took
Henrietta with me, as we had
no children. Wherever we were
on Sunday, there was always a
Catholic church and we went
to Mass together. Any night
that I was away from home,
whether it was in Berlin, Lon
don, Madrid or the U.S.A. dur
ing our entire married life,
I telephoned Henrietta. When
ever I arrived at the railroad
station or airport, my wife
was there to meet me.
“After 37 years of marriage
I finally decided to embrace
the Catholic Faith. Henrietta
had never asked me to do so,
but I’m sure she had long been
praying for my conversion. Her
devout and holy life was the
channel through which the grace
of God came to me.”
“Charles,” I remarked,
“your experience is similar
to that of Dr. Thomas Brady,
vice-president of the University
of Missouri, who attributes his
conversion to his wife’s exam
ple.
‘Her prayers, piety and life,’
he related, ‘were a constant,
though unspoken, sermon tell
ing me of the strength, serenity
and joy derived from the prac
tice of her Faith. Only the most
perverse person can live with
a good Catholic for years and
not feel a tremendous attraction
toward the Church.’ ”
“Yes,” agreed Charles,
* ’that’s my conviction too. Hen-
reitta and I went to the rectory
where we had been married, and
Father Joseph MacAllister,
C.S.C., gave the instructions.
These deepened my realiza
tion that the Catholic Church
alone was founded by Christ
and speaks with His authority.
I was received into Christ’s
true Church in September 1950
and had the great joy of re
ceiving our Eucharistic Lord.
Thanks to God and my dear
wife, I am now a member of
the Mystical Body of Jesus
Christ.”
(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 sto
ries.)

Pope Urges: “Be Men Of Peace”
VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC)
- His Holiness Pope John XXIII
has urged students to be open-
minded and steer clear of pre
judices.
He made his point during a
special Sunday morning aud
ience in which he received 1,400
Italian high school students who
had been brought to Rome by
the Italian Catholic Action or
ganization as a recognition of
excellence in the study of re
ligious culture.
The Pope told them (Sept. 16):
“Be men of peace—be peace
makers.” Then he urged them
to avoid “the fatuqus game of
bitter and unfair polemics, of
preconceived and hidebound an
tipathies, of rigid labeling of

The student group later was
among the crowd of thousands
of people who awaited the Pope’s
usual Sunday noontime appear
ance at his window above St.
Peter’s square. The Pope, who
had spent the previous week
on retreat in preparation for
the ecumenical council, bless
ed the people and led them in
reciting the Angelus.
In the course of the after
noon, Pope John drove past
ancient Roman relics to the
Lateran Palace, where he spent
an hour inspecting alterations
in progress there. The palace
was the site of five ecumeni
cal councils and was the home
of the popes until the early
1300’s.
Parts of it are now being
transformed into new, central
ized offices for the vicariate-
chancery of the Rome diocese.
Pope John was accompanied
on his tour of the work by
Count Enrico Galeazzi, the pa
pal architect.
