Men’s Leadership
Course At Millen
SYLVANIA — Father John
Garvey, pastor of Our Lady of
Assumption Church in Sylvania
has begun conducting a Men’s
Leadership Course for all in-
interested men in his four-
county parish. Meetings are
being held at St. Bernadette
Catholic Chapel in nearby Mil
len, as a site most convenient
to the majority of parishioners.
The first of seven consecutive
sessions was held on Ash Wed
nesday and the series will con
tinue through Wednesday of Holy
Week, meetings beginning
promptly at 7:30 p.m.
The Leadership Course is one
based on a new booklet prepar
ed by the Nationally-known
Christopher Movement, a
non-denomination group having
its headquarters in New York
under its Founder-Director,
Father James Keller, M.M.
The booklet, “How You Can
Conduct A Small Leadership
Group,” is designed to help
train the men to think and speak
on their feet, to ask and answer
questions from the floor
at meetings of all kinds, to stim
ulate action by positive sugges
tions, to run meetings of var
ious types, and how to bring
spiritual values to a world in
need of constructive ideas.
Father Garvey hopes that at
its conclusion the men attending
will have learned how to better
get into the mainstream of life
those good ideas that God has
entrusted to all Christian men.
Father welcomes any inquiries
as to the course from interest
ed readers of the SOUTHERN
CROSS.

HOUR-LONG TV PROGRAM
SCHEDULED FOR EASTER
NEW YORK, (NC)—An insid
er’s view of the Vatican will be
presented on television Easter
Sunday, April 14, by the Ameri
can Broadcasting Company.
Titled “The Vatican,” the one-
hour documentary will be tele
cast from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.,
EST.
The program will present a
typical day at the Vatican, in
cluding some scenes never be
fore presented on television.
The workaday reality of Vati
can City, as well as its famous
color and pageantry, will be
shown.
Viewers will visit the stu
dios of Vatican Radio where
news is broadcast in 32 lan
guages, and the offices of
L’Osservatore Romano, the Va
tican City newspaper. They will
view the inside of the Vatican
Post Office, where a letter
from the U. S. arrives with
three cents postage due.
The program also features
a message from His Holiness
Pope John XXIII and shows him
on one of his visits outside in
the Vatican.
A high point of the program
is a scene in which the more
than 2,000 Fathers of the Sec
ond Vatican Council mingle with
pilgrims in St. Peter’s square
to recite the Angelus with Pope
John.
The program also will show
seminarians at the Ethiopian
College in the Vatican chanting
the Office in their own language
to the rhythmic accompaniment
of a drum and a dancing drum
mer.
On the lighter side, Swiss
Guards are shown relaxing with
a game of cards before don
ning their colorful 15th centu
ry uniforms and armor to greet
a visiting head of state, and
the usually impeccable Sistine
choirboys are caught in an off-
key moment during a rehear
sal.
Church history comes alive
in a visit to the Vatican treas
ury where viewers are shown
the richly ornamented vest
ments and Mass implements
used by popes and cardinals
down through the ages.
The keeper of the treasury
will relate how Napoleon stole
everything during the reign of
Pope Pius VI, including the
magnificent collection of papal
tiaras and miters. He then
points to a cardboard tiara
Pope Pius VII was forced to
wear as a result of the theft
when he gave his first blessing
to crowds in St. Peter’s Square.
Napoleon later presented Pope
Pius VII with a tiara decorated
with many fine jewels—” jew-
wels which he already had car
ried away from the Vatican-”
the keeper of the treasury com
ments.
There are also visits to the
Vatican’s museum and library,
and to St. Peter's basilica for
a baptism. Father Thomas
Stransky C. S. P., an Ameri
can Paulist, explains the func
tion of the Secretariat for
Christian Unity, which is head
ed by Augustin Cardinal Bea,
S. J.
Although filmed in color, the
American Broadcasting Com
pany has not decided whether
“The Vatican” will be telecast
in color, because of technical
difficulties. The program was
produced by the ABC News
Special Projects Division. John
H. Secondari is executive pro
ducer and narrator; Helen Jean
Rogers, producer; and Nicholas
Webster, director.

Time Charges Called “Slanderous”
CHICAGO, (NC) — Chicago
Catholic and Protestant spokes
men have challenged a claim by
a national magazine that the Ca
tholic Church has fought urban
renewal here for selfish
reasons.
Msgr. John Egan, director of
the Chicago Archdiocesan Con
servation Council, termed the
allegation “slanderous.”
Three officials of the Church
Federation of Greater Chicago
said the charge against the
Catholic Church was a “great
error” and ignored the Catho
lic archdiocese’s “significant
contribution" to racial justice.
Time magazine (March 15),
in a cover story on Chicago’s
Mayor Richard J. Daley, ac
cused the Church of “mount
ing campaigns” against Daley’s
urban renewal programs.
Time offered this explanation
for the Church’s attitude:
“Daley’s programs remove
Negroes from their ghettos,
send white residents fleeing,
and leave Catholic parish hous
es and churches bereft of their
congregations — and contribu
tions.”
Msgr. Egan, in a telegram to
Time publisher Henry Luce,
called this an “irresponsible
assertion.”
“Your explicit attribution of
racial exclusion motives to the
Church's opposition to urban
renewal is a serious and in
excusable calumny upon the Ca
tholic Church and the person of
Albert Cardinal Meyer, (Arch
bishop of Chicago),” he said.
Msgr. Egan charged that Time
researchers “failed in both the
courtesy and the obligation to
consult Church officials who
were involved in the Hyde Park
controversy.”
The reference was to a wide
ly publicized controversy over
the Hyde Park-Kenwood urban
renewal plan, Chicago’s first
major neighborhood conserva
tion program. The late Samuel
Cardinal Stritch, Archbishop of
Chicago, and Msgr. Egan were
both active in demanding that it
include adequate provision for
relocation and housing of per
sons affected.
The Time article quoted Chi
cago banker David Kennedy as
saying that the Catholic Church
“attacked the whole thing.”
Kennedy wired the news mag
azine that he was quoted inac
curately and out of context.
“Your reporting distorts the
purpose and attitude of the Ca
tholic Church regarding the
many and varied aspects of
urban renewal and development
and is indeed unfortunate,”
Kennedy said.
Joining in the protests were
three ministers who are offi
cials of the Church Federation
of Greater Chicago: the Revs.
Edgar Chandler, Douglas Still
and Stanley Hallett.
Their telegram to Time de
clared that the “attack” on the
Catholic archdiocese “was bas
ed on inaccurate, distorted in
formation and failed to give
credit to it for the most sig
nificant contribution being made
to racial justice today: the sup
port and leadership to com
munity organization efforts
which will help Chicago to be
come the kind of city in which
equal rights and opportunities
are assured for all.”
Msgr. Egan noted that Cathol
ic clergymen, ‘ ’with the encour
agement of Cardinal Meyer,”
have served on community
boards in numerous Chicago ur
ban renewal programs. The
monsignor is himself a member
of the Metropolitan Housing and
Planning Council.
He said he would “continue to
question the specific features
of urban renewal programs”
when necessary, but he empha
sized that his attitude to urban
renewal In general is one of
“basic support.”
Answer
To
Racism
ROCHESTER, N. Y., (NC)—
Bishop James E. Kearney of
Rochester said here in an Inter
racial Sunday observance that
what is done about racism “is
the ultimate test of our vaunted
democratic way of life.”
The Bishop said in a sermon
in Immaculate 'Conception
church that ’ ‘discrimination ba
sed on the accidental fact of
race or color. . .cannot be
reconciled with the truth that
God has created all men with
equal rights and equal dignity.”
The Bishop stated that the
race question is a moral and
religious issue and cannot be
banished by high-sounding
words, court action, “or even
by the exercise of the virtue of
justice alone.”
“It can only be conquered,”
he said, “by love—true, genu
ine love of God and love of
neighbor.”
