Not until 1895 was the famous >Lourdes grotto built across the
road at the famous University of Notre Dame. It was here at
St. Marys that I learned devotion to Our Lady of Loreto and to
Lourdes and so much else, Uab, of immeasurable spiritual
value. The traditions surroufcjiing the little chapel of Loreto
are deeply tender. Some students faithfully make daily visits
to the chapel in rain and snow; Engagement rings from Notre
Dame men to St. Mary’s girls have been exchanged there.
Students come to this shrine ih’the crisis of their college days.
Events ranging from examinations to serious illness in their
families bring students to Lorbto's shelter. 1 have knelt in this
replica of the Holy House in joy and sorrow and felt the warmth
of home and heart before its altar. Loreto in truth is our an
cestral home, for all Christian homes are built upon the
pattern followed within its walls. I never ceased to feel at home
within the replica shelter since I had lost the only material
place 1 had known as home and the person who had made a
home for me was now at home in the House of God. Home
is a sacred word for most mortals. Perhaps it was this tender
thought that the Holy Father had in mind as he made His
historic pilgrimage to the Holy House to pray that the ecumenical
council in a spiritual sense might bring the return home of the
wanderers.

each decade preceded by an Our
Father; and (2) pious meditation
or loving thought on the mys
teries of the Redemption. So
long as the requesite Paters
and Aves are recited in con
junction with such meditation,
therefore, the Rosary is not
only said properly, but the or
dinary indulgences listed in the
Raccolta can be gained. (The
meditation that must accompany
the vocal prayers of the Ro
sary is satisfied by loving
thought on the divine plan of
our redemption as revealed in
the life and teachings of our
Lord Jesus Christ.)
ROSARY BEADS obviously
facilitate fulfilling the Rosary
devotion. What is more, Ro
sary beads can be enriched with
special or extraordinary in
dulgences - referred to as the
ABCD indulgences; i.e., the
Apostolic, Brigittine, Crosier
and Dominican Indulgences -
which can be gained in addition
to the ordinary indulgences an
nexed to the Rosary devotion
itself.
(The Apostolic Indulgences
are given by or through the Su
preme Pontiff, of course, and
are usually listed by each Pope
at the beginning of his ponti
ficate. The Crosier Indulgence
is a partial indulgence of 500
days for each bead - here, then,
is a case where missing beads
would result in lost indulgences.
Both the Brigittine and Domini**
can Indulgences require consid
erable explanation.)
SO THAT even though the or -
dinary indulgences of the Ro
sary may be gained without
beads of any kind, the use of
blessed beads entitles one to
additional extraordinary in
dulgences. Consequently it is
always better to use blessed
beads when saying the Rosary
than not to use them.

I suppose this essay to see
how a constant diet of such a
highcaloried mental diet would
render such anti-clericals easy
victims of communist over
tures. And yet I should think
tha t the really perceptive anti
clerical would find in the mild
tone of the essay a confession
of defeat and an awareness that
“he who eats the Pope dies.”
Which means that enemies of
the Church always lose out in
the long run.
Liturgical Day
Scheduled
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., (NC) -

Committee of the National Li
turgical Conference will spon

School here at the invitation

By Russell Shaw
WASHINGTON - Every day in
the United States more than
3,000'people pass a major land
mark in their lives—their 65th
birthday.
By tradition the occasion
marks the start of their
“golden” years, a time of ful
fillment and satisfaction. For
many, however the golden
years are tarnished by loneli
ness and economic insecurity.
A major problem of the over-
65 age group is finding ade
quate housing at a price they
can afford. The story of one
76-year- old man is typical;
“I get $87 a month from
Social Security. I have to pay
$40 a month, almost half of
my income, for one room with
a bath and toilet in the hall
used by 18 other people. Some of
the rooms are not very clean,
but we old people have to live
in them just the same, because
that is all we can get for the
money.
“I have stopped smoking,
going to shows. All these things
I can do without, but I need
decent housing in a very bad
way.”
There is little reason to think
that the problem of housing for
the aged is going to solve it
self. Today in the U.S. more
people are living longer than
ever in history. During the
1950’s total population grew
18.5 per cent, but the elderly
group by 34.7 per cent.
It has been estimated that by
1980 there will be at least
30 million people in the U.S. in
the 62 : and over age group,
compared with some 21 million
today. As a group, the nation’s
aged are in the low or moder
ate income categories: about
half of the elderly families
receive less than $3,000 a year;
half of the elderly single per
sons in the U.S. have less than
$1,050 yearly.
As the ranks of the aged
grow, the involvement of the
Catholic Church in efforts on
their behalf grows, too. The
1962 Catholic Directory lists
the number of U.S. Catholic
homes for the aged at 355,
with 33,738 guests. Ten years
ago there were 275 such homes
with 23,775 guests. Parish pro
grams and special services for
the aged are also on the rise.
The Federal government en
tered the picture in a big way
with the Housing Act of 1959.
Section 202 of that legislation
authorizes direct loans for con
struction of rental housing and
related facilities for elderly
persons. The long-term (up to
50 years) low-interest (3.5 per
cent at present) loans are avail
able to private nonprofit cor
porations, consumer coopera
tives and certain public agen
cies.
In February of this year, an
executive order was issued es
tablishing a national Advisory
Committee on Housing for Sen
ior Citizens, to advise the ad
ministrator of HHFA on ques
tions relating to housing for the

elderly, particularly the con
duct of Section 202 programs.
This group met for the first
time in Washington October 15
and 16 to confer with top HHFA
officials, including Robert C.
Weaver, administrator of the
agency, and some of his top
aides.
Msgr. Wilbur F. Suedkamp,
secretary for Catholic Char
ities in the Detroit archdio
cese and a member of the com
mittee, had high praise after
the meeting for the spirit that
animated the Federal officials
in assembling this group of
advisors.
Many aspects of the overall
topic were treated by three
work groups during the ses
sions. Certain major themes
emerged, however. Among them
were:
--The advisability of inte
grating elderly persons with
younger persons, wherever
possible, and avoiding segre
gation based on age.
- The value of setting up
multi-functional centers in con
junction with housing projects,
to provide counseling on the
use of community medical and
financial resources as well as
recreational facilities.
--The benefits of keeping
aged persons in their own
homes as long as possible
rather than committing them to
custodial care in institutions
sooner than necessary.
--The need for state surveys
to provide a statewide picture
of the housing for the elderly
situation.
- -The advisability of pro
viding Federal funds to uni
versities for both long-term
and crash programs to train
personnel to manage housing
projects for the aged.
—The need for more study of
the special architectural de
mands of housing for the el
derly.
The committee also gave par
ticular attention to the prob
lems of the “low, low income”
group, many of whose mem
bers still remain untouched by
most existing programs for
housing for the aged.
"Council
Fathers”
Defined
VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC)
- The term “council Fathers”
appearing in dispatches about
the ecumenical council is de
fined in council regulations as
“the bishops and others called
to the council.”
This group includes all car
dinals, patriarchs, archbi
shops, residential bishops (even
though they have not yet been
consecrated), heads of indepen
dent abbeys and prelatures, ab
bots primate, abbots who are
superiors of monastic congre
gations and superior s general
of exempt congregations of Re
ligious. Also included in the bull
convoking the council are auxi
liary bishops.
Proxies for bishops and
others are not council Fathers.
They have no vote, although they
must sign the decrees of the
council.
The experts of the council are
not council Fathers. These are
the theologians, canon lawyers
and specialists in other fields
covered by the council's prepa
ratory commissions, such as
those on the liturgy, Christian
unity and communications
media. They attend all general
council meetings but may not
speak or be questioned. They
help members of the council
commissions to compile and
correct texts and prepare re
ports.

Pope John Urges Newsmen
Stress Religious Nature
Of Ecumenical Council
By James C. O’Neill (Radio,
N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE)
VATICAN CITY, - His Holi
ness Pope John XXIII has urged
the world press to stress the
religious nature of the ecumen
ical council.
At a special audience grated
to more than 800 newsmen ac
credited to the council press
office, Pope John showed him
self thankful for the great in
terest of the press in the coun
cil, aware of the great respon
sibilities of the press and hope
ful that it will report council
events with care and accuracy.
It was a smiling, almost joy
ous Pontiff who entered the
floodlit Sistine chapel for an
11 a.m. audience (Oct. 13). As
he walked to the temporary
throne set up beneath Michel
angelo’s colossal masterpiece,
the painting of “The Last Sup
per,” 807 journalists from all
parts of the world gave him a
loud ovation of applause and
cheers.
Because the first business
session of the ecumenical coun
cil had adjourned less than an
hour after it opened, the jour
nalists present were somewhat
disheveled from trying to enter
the Vatican’s Bronze Doors at
the same time as more than
2,000 bishops were trying to
leave.

weary looking, the Pope was
not. The long sessions of the
council’s opening ceremonies
and the official audiences he
has granted apparently have not
phased the 80-year-old Pon
tiff.
Speaking in French, the Pope
told the journalists: "We. . .
felt keenly that We must tell
you personally how much We
desire your loyal cooperation in
presenting this great event in
its true colors.
