News Service) LOS ANGELES,—Since “sput nik” there has been a noticeable change and. reaction against “pro gressive education” and its “ab use” of American principles, His Eminence James Francis Cardinal McIntyre told the Holy Name Union here. The philosophy of progressive education is being rejected, the Archbishop of Los Angeles said, and with it its errors of hostility to religion and to private edu cation. “If this noticeable change be the result of the exploration into outer space, it will be an offset ting compensation for the mili tary apprehensions engendered,” the prelate declared. “We hope progressive educa tion and its abuse of academic freedom and of the principles of separation of church and state have met their Waterloo.” The Cardinal spoke to 1,500 men at the Holy Name Union Communion breakfast. “Reports of recent conventions indicate that college executives are now lamenting the withdraw l 07 BROOKHAVEN FEDERAL J| M *70 SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION #§170 § 401.8 Peachtree Road, Atlanta 19, Go. CURRENT Accounts Open by Mail- CE. 7-6406 CURRENT HATE A R. C COLBERT, President RATE 1 By Father Morgan J. Viitengl, M.M. (Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service) HONG KONG, — The stubborn and heroic opposition by Catho lics to Red China’s current cam paign, against the Church is com ing into better focus here, thanks to the Chinese communist press. Communist news sources admit that priests -— including vicars general in charge of dioceses, Re ligious and laymen have openly defied the government’s plan to establish the schismatic Patriotic Association of Chinese Catholics. : Most: xjf j^'tltisA’Olsiiosttii^n ■' has - taken place at the very “indoctri nation meetings” the Reds are now holding throughout China. The communists have been forc ing priests and Sisters to attend these conferences for “diehards who oppose their policy toward religion. The Reds’ official New China News Agency reports that at the meeting for Catholics in Szech wan province, Father.Liu Chien, Vicar General and administrator of the Diocese of Sichang (Ning- 24-Hr.

ARNOLD ALTEX ALUMINUM COMPANY OF GEORGIA 1194 Huff Road, N. W. ATLANTA, GEORGIA proposed that relations with the Vatican be severed, Father Liu warned members of the clergy present, saying: “When you leave the Vatican you will be excommunicated.” Father Liu then denounced the Patriotic Association of Chinese Catholics as not being a “legiti mate” organization, - the report continued. It was also reported that among the 149 Catholic dele gates were those “who frantical ly opposed the leadership of the Communist party and the socialist system as well as harbored hos tility to the new society.” The communist news agency said that one rightist, Father Yeh Ting-cheng, shouted at the meet ing: “China will not perish with out the Communist party.” In another instance, the com munist daily newspaper in Har bin reports that at one “confer ence” held , in .Mukden for Man churian Catholics, a “number of people held different views” from those of the government Bureau of Religious Affairs. The paper reports that a Father Liu Wan-po spoke out in defense of Bishop Ignatius Kung of Shanghai, who was jailed by the communists in 1955. Father Liu is quoted as having challenged the “election” of Fa ther Francis Xavier Chang to re place the Bishop, and then ad ding: “Although Bishop Kung was arrested and put in jail, he is still the Bishop.” The Harbin paper also de nounced a Father Chin Piu-Chien for the “theory of loving our en emies, advocating that Catholics mgs.” According to the Peking Red paper, Fathers Li Kuang-fei, Huang Hsi-ming and Yeh Yu- shih “openly opposed the anti- imperialist and patriotic move ment of the Patriotic Association of Chinese Catholics, saying that the Catholic Church must be led by the Vatican and maintain the principles of unity, holiness and catholicity, otherwise it will be a schismatic church.” The news account further stat ed that Father Li Kuang-fei de fended the validity of the Holy See’s excommunications of Father Li Wei-Kuang, former Vicar Gen eral of the Nanking archdiocese, and a Father Li Yin-tao. In its dispatch on the Foochow meeting, the Peking people’s daily gave prominent billing to two priests as vicars general and administrators of dioceses. In formed sources here, however, report that both priests, Father Lin Chu-an of Foochow and Fa ther Lin Tze-ting of Fuan, were either invalidly “elected” or were appointed outright by the com munists. According to the Red news sources, all of the meetings passed resolutions condemning the anti communist views of “rightist” Catholics and voted by an “ab solute majority” to sever rela tions with the Vatican. Observers here believe it sig nificant that no mention is made of Archbishop Ignatius P’i Shu- shih of Mukden as having taken part in the meeting held in his See city. The official Vatican yearbook has listed Archbishop P’i as being “in jail for the Faith.” But the communist press reported last year he had been elected head of the “Patriotic Association,” which was organized in Peking last summer. There is also a tendency among observers here to discount re port in the communist press of statements made at these meet ings by bishops and priests, al legedly denouncing the Vetican and praising the communist re gime. The credibility of similar reports during the Peking meet ing last year was assailed when -he bishops and priests in ques tion sent personal messages here stating that they had been coerc ed into making such denuncia tions against their will and con science.

They no longer claim that the mention of God in education is union of church and state.” Cardinal McIntyre commented that “even in that armored cita del of progressive education in Columbia University,” a top com mittee of trustees had noted abuses of academic freedom. The Cardinal said the errors of progressive education had come full circle. He traced the rise and fall of this system which he said was based on philosophy of “behaviorism” which advocat ed catering to the will and the likes of the child and relegated to disuse the tradition of disci pline. Cardinal McIntyre said “pro gressive education gradually and persistently eliminated acknow ledgement of religion as a neces sary factor in, general education.” “As progressive education de veloped,” the Cardinal continu ed, “it cultivated the denial of the existence of God. History, languages, mathematics were re placed by the fads and fancies of the frivolous, presented with dig nified titles. The subject matter in many instances was What, in other days, we learned at home and in the hours outside of the time alloted for classroom teach ing.” Elimination of religion in edu cation, the Cardinal declared, re ceived impetus with general ac ceptance of the slogan “sepa ration of church and state.” This phrase he described as a shib boleth — a pet phrase of doubt ful meaning. Application of this phrase was made to circumstances that had no bearing upon the relations of church and state, he said. Cardinal McIntyre explained how the phrase occurred as a figure of speech in a letter by Thomas Jefferson. Yet it be came necessary for a Supreme Court Justice recently to deplore giving this figure of speech the force of law. Jefferson, said the Cardinal, was referring to a compulsory state religion when he used that figure of speech. He did not mean the elimination of God from gov ernment. “It is almost unbelievable, 1 said the Cardinal, “that such a complete distortion should find such almost universal application in a day of supposedly keen dis cernment.” This distortion reached its log ical conclusion when the daily school curriculum forbade any reference to the existence of God as our Creator, to the sanction of God as the Lawmaker. “It is interesting,” continued the Cardinal, “that those who are most vocal in demanding so- called separation of church and state are the same persons who resent the place of private edu cation in our economy and assert that it makes for ‘divisiveness.’ “They seek a complete disso lution of private education: name ly, they oppose the acknowledg ment of God because they allege it would promote union of church and state, and they object to private education because it pro motes divisiveness. “They eliminate entirely the cooperation of church and state,” the Cardinal stated. “The reasoning they advance that religion promotes divisive ness could be equally applied to national differences, but it is not. “The genius of our country has been the tolerance of these nationality and religious differ ences. Surely they are more tol erable in education than in civic relations.” Mrs. Nora Powell Services In Atlanta ATLANTA, Ga. — Funeral services for Mrs. Nora Daly Powell were held January 17th at the Sacred Heart Church, Rev. John Emmerth officiating. Survivors are her sister, Mrs. Howard Bosworth, Silver Springs, Md., several nieces and nephews.
