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- J. H. Starr J. H. Starr, Jr. F. J. Starr STARR LECTRIC COMPANY Electrical living!' Electronic Division — Language Laboratories & Teaching Aids 584 SECOND STREET TELEPHONE SH. 6-2441 MACON, GEORGIA 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.
