Says U.S. Christians Might
Get Some Pointers In Unity
From British Experiences
SAN FRANCISCO. (NC) - On
the eve of the ecumenical coun
cil, American Christians might
pick up a few pointers from
their English cousins, espec
ially on the difference between
unity and uniformity.
This is the view of Father
John O’Connor of Manchester,
England, a canon law student
at the Catholic University of
America, Washington, D.C.
Interviewed during a visit
here, Father O'Connor said that
in England there has been "an
increasing awareness of the
difference between Christian
unity and uniformity."
"Unity is the coming together
in love and understanding ac
cording to the will of GodP,”
he said. "It must be prepared
for by prayer and penance. It
requires gentleness and pa
tience."
By contrast, he said, "uni
formity is the desire for par
tisan victory, it is superficial.
It does not evoke prayer, pen
ance or love, it wins argu
ments, and that often only in
the mind of the exponent."
Father O’Connor said there
have been "encouraging signs"
in England of a new interre
ligious spirit, including the
"open friendship” between
Archbishop John C. Heenan of
Liverpool and Anglican Arch
bishop Arthur Michael Ramsey
of Canterbury, the prayers of
fered in Anglican churches for
the success of the ecumenical
council, days of recollection
conducted by priests for non-
Catholics, and "mutual encou
ragement for a firm Christian
witness in topical issues in
public and private life."
THE BULLETIN, October 13, 1962—PAGE 7
It s The Stillness
Of East Berlin
That Gets Visitor
CLEVELAND, (NC) - It’s what you don’t hear - the unearthly
stillness and quiet - that impresses you most about East Berlin,
said Notre Dame Sister Mary Sean, instructor at Notre Dame
College here.
Sister Sean has returned here after studying at the University
of Muenster and had made two trips into East Berlin, the
second a private walking trip to some of the museums.
On the first trip, she said, she got the "red carpet tourist
deal reserved fer foreigners" which were restricted to the middle
of the city.
On the second, she was struck by the "unearthly stillness"
of the people and the city, the barbed wire fences, police watch-
towers, and sawdust trails on which potential escapees can be
more easily traced and seen, and shot. She added:
"On the western side of the wall - the wall of shame - I had
noticed someone had scrawled the giant letters‘KZ,’the German
designation for concentration camp. And for certain, when you
go into the eastern zone, you feel like you are in a huge KZ.
The stillness of East Berlin, Sister Sean concluded, is in sharp
contrast to the friendliness of the West sector where people
on casual walks stop and chat with everyone they meet.
Peruvian Indian Cathechist Sells
Own Shoes To Buy Catechisms For
Poor People Of His Native Village
CUZCO, Peru, (NC) - Fer
nando Huanca, a 31-year-old
Quechua Indian arrived at the
Maryknoll Catechetical School
here with a pair of shoes, but
he returned barefoot to his own
villiage.
Father Thomas Verhoeven,
M.M., of Monroe , Mich., dir
ector of the school, noticed that
Huanea was wearing shoes on
his arrival because few Indians
in this ancient capital of the
Incas are shod. After the
month’s training, the young
apostle was about to set out
barefoot for his village of Pit-
umarca. The priest questioned
him and learned that he had
sold his shoes in Cuzco in or
der to buy catechisms for his
people.
Huanca is one of the 659 In
dian catechists who have been
trained in this school since its
foundation in April, 1961. The
first catechetical school in Peru
was opened in 1957 in Pono
and has already trained 1,500
Aymara and Quechua Indian cat
echists. Recently other catech
etical schools have been opened
in Las Penas, Bolivia, andAm-
bato, Ecuador.
Late this year the Maryknoll
Fathers plan to open the fifth
catechetical school for Indian
religion teachers in the city of
Huancayo, which lies on the eas
tern slope of the Andes, at the
end of the highest railroad in
the world, which ascends to an
altitude of 15,800 feet above
sea level. The Missionary So
ciety of St. James the Apostle
—founded by Richard Cardinal
Cushing, Archbishop of Boston
—will take over the Cuzo cat
echetical school from the Mary
knoll Fathers soon, in order
to permit the extension of the
work into Huancayo.
The Cuzco operation has
progressed rapidly with the en
couragement of Archbishop
Carlos M. Jurgens Byrne, C.
SS.R., of Cuzco who turned
over an old building to the
unusual apostolate which pre
pares unlettered natives to
teach catechism in the remote
valleys of Peru’s Andean moun
tains.
The 125-year-old Cuzco re
treat house was damaged by a
recent earthquake, but it is
housing 60 volunteer Indian cat
echists until Cardinal Cushing’s
school can be built. The Car-
dianl has already alloted
$25,000 for this project..
After 14 months of instruc
tion, during which 12 different
classes have been taught, there
are now 15 director catechis
ts, who have been trained to
supervise the work of the vol
unteers in the Cuzco area.
Bishop Bernardino Echev
arria Ruiz, O.F.M., of Ambato,
Ecuador, has sent Father Jose
Arellano to study the Cuzco
catechetical system. Father
Arellano will soon open a sim
ilar school in the Ambato dio
cese. Father Antonio Abad, S.
J., superior of the Jesuits in
Bolivia, also visited Cuzco to
study the ststem and plans to
open a school in Cochamba,
Bolivia, along the same lines.
Father Daniel Sheehan, of the
St. James' priests, found some
remnants of the old Spanish
catechetical system in his par
ish of Huancarama in the dio
cese of Abancay. With the help
of the Cuzco school he has
native catechists who are
already doing excellent >work
among their own people.
Father Verhoeven, National
Director of Indian Catechists in
Peru, declared that he will
try to extend the catechist sys
tem throughout the entire altip-
lano of South America, which
includes the highland of Peru,
Ecuador and Bolivia. He said
that due to the alarming short-
ago of priests, catechists are
indispensable, if the Church is
to preserve the Faith of the
Indians.
There is only one parish
priest in Peru for every 12,000
people. Some parishes have as
many as 80,000 people served
by a single priest.
"The Indians will have to
wait for the reception of the
New Orleans
Enrollment
Reaches 97%
NEW ORLEANS, (NC) - En
rollment in the newly integra
ted Catholic schools of the
New Orleans archdiocese has
reached 97 per cent of last
year’s total.
The archdiocesan Bureau of
Information released figures
(Sept. 29) showing that enroll
ment in Catholic schools in the
11 civil parishes (counties) of
the archdiocese is 73,433 com
pared with 75,796 last year.
Some 200 Negro children are
now attending classes along with
white children in previously all-
white Catholic schools here.
Archbishop Joseph F. Rum-
mel of New Orleans directed
last March 27 that all Cath
olic schools in the archdiocese
be desegregated with the start
of the new school year.
Following Archbishop Rum
mer s integration order, seg
regationists called on Catho
lic parents to boycott Catholic
schools.
Priesthood
Manifests
God’s Power
NEWARD, N.J., (NC) - The
priesthood is a manifestation
of the wisdom, the love and the
power of God, Bishop George
W. Ahr of Trenton said here.
The Bishop preached at
a Mass of Thanksgiving
in Sacred Heart cathedral,
marking the end of the year
long 100th anniversary cele
bration of the founding of Im
maculate Conception Semin-
sacraments but at least they
will know doctrine and how to
pray," explained Father Ver-
hoever. "But they will be pre
pared to recieve the sacraments
when there are priests to take
care of them, and neither the
Protestants nor the Com
munists will take them from
the Church because of their
ignorance of doctrine.”
ary, Darlington, N.J.
Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi,
Apostolic Delegate in the U.S.,
offered the. mass, at which
Archbishop Thomas A. Boland
of Newark presided.
Bishop Ahr, a former rec
tor of the Newark archdioce
san seminary, said that God in
His wisdom established the
priesthood to "provide for the
normal relationship between
man and God." It is through
the priest, he said, that "we
touch the hern of God’s gar
ment."
The priest, he said, is an
extension of God’s love be
cause he is "an extension of
the priesthood of Christ." The
priest is another Christ "be
cause he speaks in the Name
and the Person of Christ,"
he said.

CATHOLIC
YOUTH WEEK
WASHINGTON, (NC) - Pre
sident Kennedy and Peace Corps
director R. Sargent Shriver
have welcomed this year’s Na
tional Catholic Youth Week, Oc
tober 28 to November 4.
The President stated that
"the need to reaffirm the re
verence due to God and to our
nation in public and private
life is constantly increasing,
and indeed merits the attention
of all our young people."
National Catholic Youth
Week, sponsored by the Na
tional Catholic Youth Organi
zation Federation, is the lar
gest national Catholic youth ac
tivity held annually in this
country. This year’s obser
vance has as its theme "re
verent Youth—Loyal Leaders."
In commenting on the theme
President Kennedy stated that
"reverent youth—those who
honor and respect God, their
parents, their teachers, their
leaders and their country—be
come loyal leaders to whom we
will entrust the future of our
nation and the world."
He added: "It is with great
pleasure that I extend my sin
cere wishes for a fruitful and
successful observance of this
week by all of the young people
of the national CYO in their
dioceses, parishes, schools and
universities. May they meet
and conquer the challenges of
today's world, proving them
selves reverent youth and loyal
leaders.”
Shriver noted in his message
that the theme was a "noble
and necessary one.”
He added that "eight million
young American Catholics
throughout the homes and
schools of the nation are pro
fessing their devotion to their
religion and this belief is con
tributing to the continued free
dom of their country" by par
ticipating in the annual event.
The Peace Corps director
said: “The constructive acti
vities of the country’s young
people, nowhere better ex
pressed than through the sin
cerity of their religious con
victions or their potentiality
for leadership, are, in essence,
the strengths upon which the
continuing democratic freedom
of the United States depends.
It is a noble theme and a
necessary one."
A kit containing prayer cards,
posters, fact sheets and pro
motional items designed for
the observance may be obtain
ed from the National CYO Fed
eration, 1312 Massachusetts
Avenue, N. W., Washington 5,
D. C.
testing the school takeover.
"If the free world is in
different and apathetic to their
plight it is assigning the fu
ture generations of Poland to
the bondage of atheistic mater
ialism," he said.
The September 14 resolution
called attention of Congress to
the school situation in Poland
and urged United Nations ac
tion on the ground it is in vio
lation of Article 26 of the Un
ited Nations charter which
states that everyone has the
right to education and that par
ents have the right to choose
the kind of education they wish
for their children.
