ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY SCHEMA
Poverty War Centers

by Father John P. Donnelly
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY - The secre
tary of the ecumenical council,
Archbishop Pericle Felici, has
lashed out at “untrue, inexact
and incomplete” press reports
regarding the third session’s up
roar over the religious liberty
schema.
Without naming names, he
also drew a bead on “certain
parasites” who express ideas
which are “far from serving
truth, foster confusion and in
subordination.”
Archbishop Felici was speak
ing at a special conference he
had called for diplomats, eccle
siastics and others (Nov. 27), a
Homemade Fire
Bombs Damage
Rome Seminary
ROME (NO — Two “Molotov
cocktails” were thrown into the
front window of the Pontifical
Spanish College here, causing
limited damage to the walls
and furniture (Nov. 27).
Since there was no explosive
in the homemade bombs the to
il damage was from the ignit-
spreading gasoline.

A police inquiry is in prog
ress but no solid motive has yet
been uncovered. Priests at the
seminary have suggested as a
possible suspect a beggar who
a few days before was given
food, but turned away disgrun
tled when he was refused lodg
ing. No political or religious
motive for the bombing has
been suggested.
meeting which he said was
“conversation among friends.”
“The balance sheet of the
council is positive beyond ex
pectation,” he said, “not only
because three documents of
great importance were approv
ed, but also because it has been
possible to examine all the
schemata on the agenda. All
Ibis enables us to look forward
to an intense, but brief and fi
nal fourth session.”
If the third session could have
been extended until about Dec.
8, he said, “another three or
four documents could have been
given final sanction in public
session. Among these most prob
ably would have been the docu
ment on religious freedom, long
awaited on many sides.’’
Regarding this last document
and the emotional exchanges in
the council when it was denied
a vote by the president’s deci
sion during the session’s last
week. Archbishop Felici deplor
ed the reporting of the event
“by certain press services which
do not have particularly as re
gards the secretariat general,
the necessary serenity of judg
ment.’’
He said the final draft of the
document was presented to the
secretariat on the evening of
Nov. 11, and “could only be
distributed to the council Fa
thers on Nov. 17 for the voting
which was to take place on Nov.
19.”
Expressing hope that the in
terim between sessions will aid
reflection and deeper examina
tion of this and other docu
ments, he said, smiling, “Any
reflection will be a help to ev-

eryone because in the end even
those who wanted the schema
on religious liberty approved at
this session would have disliked
haste.”
He spoke of the "deplorable
but inev i t a b 1 e phenomenon”
which he said accompanies ev
ery ecumenical council, but
which in this one has acquired
“even greater proportions.”
“Just as at the foot of the
strongest and healthiest trees
mushrooms grow which are not
equally healthy; just as in the
midst of the good corn weeds
grow—so on the occasion of the
council, which is the work of
God, and outside that council,
ideas spring up and voices are
heard which, although they may
be beautiful in appearance, far
from serving truth (they) fos
ter confusion, insubordination
and error. These are the para
sites of the council.
“It is an evil in part neces
sary, which must be borne with
patience, mindful of the Gospel
precept: ‘Let (the weeds) grow.’
This patience may be for some
a motive for meditation.”
Archbishop Felici gave statis
tics on the third session, includ
ing the facts that 50 miles of
tape were used to record the
session, 800,000 words were spo
ken and 327,000 votes tabulated.
Referring to the c o u n c i I s
concluding session, he said:
“We have full confidence in the
Fathers of the council who, as
sisted by the Divine Paraclete
will bring about the triumph of
the spirit of Christ, the spirit of
Faith, humility, obedience and
charity. We have immense trust
also in the head of the council,
to whom Jesus has entrusted
the task of confirming the oth
ers and being their guide. To
him, Vicar of Christ, visible
stone in the mystical edifice of
the Church and therefore the
source of unity and solidarity,
goes all our devotion, gratitude
and love. For where Peter is
there also is the Church, and
where the Church is there is
Christ.”

CALLED "MORAL BRINKMANSHIP"
Bishops Seek Action Against
"Deplorable Trend” In Films
WASHINGTON (NO—A warn
ing against a “deplorable trend”
in films has been issued by the
Episcopal Committee on Motion
Pictures, Radio and Television,
which calls upon religious lead
ers, educators, government of
ficials — and particularly par
ents—to do something about it.
The trend, the bishops point
out, is “a substantial decrease”
in family films and an increase
in objectionable fare noted in
the annual report of the Nation
al Legion of Decency. This
“moral brinkmanship’’, the com
mittee adds, “is compounded by
the double-billing of the few a-
vailable family films with adult
or objectionable films.”
This trend and practice, the
Episcopal Committee says, re
flect “an avid desire for mass
audiences and high profits, and
a disregard for the spiritual and
moral requirements of the spec
tators.”
The legion reported that it
gave “A-l” rating to only 51
films last year, “the smallest
total number of family films
ever rated in the entire 30-year
history of the legion.” By con
trast, it said it gave “C” rat
ing to 16 pictures, “the greatest
number and the highest percent
age of films ever condemned in
the legion’s history.”
The Episcopal Committee says
it is its “deepest conviction’’
that “the current trend in film
production warrants vigorous
reaction of all citizens interest
ed in preserving the traditional
standards of decency and mor
ality which adorn our American
culture.”
The bishops make “a particu
lar and fervent appeal to par
ents to meet their conscientious
responsibility towards their chil
dren in this matter.”
The Legion of Decency’s an
nual report was presented to
the Bishops of the U.S. at their
annual meeting in Rome, where
they were taking part in the
third session of the Second Vat
ican Council. The report was
presented 1 by Archbishop John
J. Krol of Philadelphia, chair
man of the Episcopal Commit
tee for Motion Pictures, Radio
and Television.
“In 1963 the legion reported
that “B” films (“morally ob
jectionable in part for all”)
continued the decline which had
begun during 1962. In 1964 there
was a notable increase in ^uch
films and all of the increase is
attributable to domestic produc
tion. While the number of ob
jectionable foreign films de
creased over the previous year,
Hollywood released 43 “B” films
(or 20.67%) which represents
an increase of 17 films or al
most 7% over 1963. At least
half of these 43 domestic re
leases were major films, and
regrettably, most of the impor
tant companies contributed a
share to the total objectionable
productions.
“It is the deepest conviction
of this Episcopal Committee
that the current trend in film
production warrants vigorous
reaction of all citizens interest
ed in preserving the traditional
standards of decency and mor
ality which adorn our American
culture. We make a particular
and fervent appeal to parents
to meet their conscientious re
sponsibility towards their chil
dren in this matter. We beg
them not to expose theirV chil
dren to the corruptive influence
of morally objectionoble movies.
We beg them not to allow their
children to witness in theaters
things which they would never
witness at home.”
In addition to Archbishop
Krol, the members of the Epis
copal Committee for Motion Pic
tures, Radio and Ttelevision are

van of Detroit, Bishop Walter
W. Curtis, of Bridgeport, Conn.,

WASHINGTON — The Johnson
Administration’s initial assault
in its war on poverty is a $35
'million compaign concentrating
on unemployed young men and
on communty action programs
of public and private agencies.
This was disclosed simultane
ously (Nov. 24) here and at
President Johnson’s ranch near
Johnson City, Tex., after the
Chief Executive conferred with
R. Sargent Shriver, head of the
new Office of Economic Oppor

A total of 119 separate proj
ects were disclosed. Most of the
Federal funds, about 15 million,
will be used to build Job Corps
Centers, residential institutions
for young men between 16 and
21 years of age, where they
will be offered basic education,
training in a skill and work ex
perience.
The second largest single ef
fort announced will be the Com
munity Action Programs. More
than 12 million in Federal
funds will be spent for 90%
support of. attacks against pov
erty on the local level by a
blending of public and private
resources.
The most prominent form of
cooperation by private institu
tions is the involvement of
church-related and the other
non-public colleges and univer
sities in work - study projects.
These will offer part-time jobs
off or on campus for needy col
lege students.
The government announcement
said 31 colleges and universi
ties in Washington, Chicago and
Detroit have agreed to conduct
work-study projects in conjunc
tion with community action pro
grams in these areas.
There are other areas of in
volvement by private institu
tions. In the Washington, D.C.,
community action program, for
example, Georgetown Universi
ty’s Law Center is cooperating
in a plan to make attorneys
more easily available to the
poor through a network of Fed-
e r a 11 y financed neighborhood
..centers.

most will be administered by)
local public school systems.
They will attempt to help un
employed young men and worn-’
en between 16 and 21 years of
age get% jobs which will enable
them to stay in school:

grams. , -
Sees Liturgy
Impact On
Social Action
BOSTON (NC)—Richard Car
dinal Cushing said here in a
pastoral letter that renewal of
the liturgy should lead to great
er social consciousness by Cath
olics.
* .
“It is in the liturgy that we
become involved with our bro
thers in the adoration of oUr
common Father. This involve
ment cannot stop when the. act
of liturgy ends. Social action
must follow from good liturgy,”
he wrote.
The pastoral was the fifth in
a 'series of annual letters di
rected to the Boston archdio
cese's 1.5 million Catholics. It
concerns the changes in Catho
lic forms of public worship and
the reasons for them.
