CHANGES
IN MASS—
(Continued from Page 1)
in its work, thus far, it is the
guidance of The Holy Spirit,
and with God nothing is impossi
ble. The Catholic Church hark
ens to the prayer o r Christ,
‘That they all may be one, Fa
ther . . . That they all may be
one in us’. The enthusiasm with
which non-Catholic Christians
have received the Council and
welcomed an opportunity to have
part in it indicates that this cry
of Our Lord rings in their
hearts, too. And I am certain
that the Light of the Holy Spirit
will, in God’s own good time,
show us all the way.”
PITTSBURGH, (NC) --
The developing nations of the
world are aiming for an econo
mic break through. If demo
cracy fails them, they may turn
to totalitarianism instead.
That was the message of two
speakers at the fourth national
Lay Mission Conference here
o r the Council of International
Lay Associations (Nov. 23-24).
Rafael Caldera, executive se
cretary of the Christian Social
party in Venezuela, warned that
“the failure of democracy in the
underdeveloped countries could
mean the failure of democracy
throughout the world.”
Romeo Maione, assistant di
rector of the Social Action De
partment of the Canadian
Catholic Conference, Ottawa,
noted that the problems of the
developing nations today “are
our problems of a few years
ago.”
“They’re in 1776, in the full
flower of adolescence, with all
its dangers, but above all with
new “life,” he said.
Caldera told the conference
that a “vast struggle” is needed
if democracy is to triumph
throughout the world.
“The people must be convin
ced that they are truly sover
eign, because they have over
come want, because they have
the opportunity to work, and
through work to live like human
beings,” he said.
He stressed that the con
trasts between poverty and af
fluence are “all the more
shocking” in Latin America
because of its geographic and
cultural proximity to the U. S.
“From country to country—
and within each country from
region to region—there are
monstrous disparities,” he
added.
Caldera said it is the re-

sponsibility of the present gen
eration "to resolve these con
tradictions so as to save the
concept of human integration.”
“No single isolated country
can achieve this end. A common
effort is indispensable,” he
said.
In a question period, Caldera
said the Alliance tor Progress
is a start toward solving the
problems of Latin America. He
cautioned, however, against
treating the alliance as merely
an anti-Castro operation.
On the subject of Castro, he
declared that' ‘the battle of Cuba
is only part of the battle of
Latin America.” He added that
to win “the battle of Cuba by
force would be to lose the
popular feeling of the rest of
Latin America.
Maione, a past international
president of the Young Christian
Workers movement, said the
history of the developing nations
today is paralleling the
history of the U. S. and Canada.
However, he noted, the pace
of history today is “tele
scoping” and the process of
development must be speeded up
accordingly.
“The economic development
which took 100 years or so in
Western Europe and America
has taken 35 years in Russia,”
he said. “China and India plan
to make the same breakthrough
in 20 years. Latin America
dreams of a 10-year break
through. The economic rhythm
has reached jazz tempo.”
How to achieve this economic
speedup without threatening in
dividual freedoms is the basic
problem facing believers in de
mocracy in the underdeveloped
areas, he said.
Maione declared that massive
aid from the U. S. and Canada
is imperative in Latin Ameri
ca. He also defended the Alli
ance for Progress against
critics “who have expected
much too much from it in one
year.”
“Revolutions don’t happen in
one year,” he said.
Father Frederick A. Mc
Guire, C. M., executive secre
tary of the Mission Secretariat,
a clearinghouse of mission in
formation and services in
Washington, D. C., called for
a restoration of the office of lay
deacons.
“The functions of deacons
have been relegated to the sem
inary and such duties as exposi
tion of the Blessed Sacrament or
the reading of the Gospel at
Mass,” he said. “Yet the need
of diaconate responsibilities
is greater today than ever be
fore.”
Father McGuire declared that
“we do not have the priests
and Religious, and therefore it
is absolutely imperative that the
laity take active part in the in
ternational apostolate.”
He said lay deacons could
distribute Communion, preach
and even be the ordinary minis
ters of Baptism in areas where
priests visits but once or twice
a year.
