'ROTESTS SLAUGHTER
4 Congo, Listen To Our
Voice, ’ Pontiff Cries
ROME (NC) — “Congo, listen
to our voice,’’ Pope Paul VI
cried out here in an impassion
ed but forgiving protest against
the recent slaughter of mission-
ers and hostages in that African
country.
The Pope spoke during a Mass
he offered in the basilica of St.
Paul’s Outside the Walls for ev
eryone, but particularly mission
aries, who have been victims of
political unrest.
In addition to baptizing, con
firming and giving first Holy
Communion to 12 Congolese con
verts at the Mass, the Pope de
livered a sermon on the injus
tice and brutality which has tak
en the lives of more than 100
missioners and thousands of oth
ers in the Congo.
The Pope said he spoke in the
“voice of a father, on whose
lips are only words of pardon
and peace, the voice of a friend
who is inspired by no personal
interest . . . whose only concern
is for the true good of each na
tion and of the whole great hu
man family.”
Pope Paul told the thousands
gathered in the basilica built
over the spot where St. Paul is
believed to have been buried af
ter his martyrdom that “we
come to you today above all to
offer holy sacrifice for those
who have fallen victim to vio
lence in many places and espe
cially in the Congo in the course
of recent months.
“For, alas, violence broke
loose and blood flowed. It was
the blood of so many sons of
Africa, massacred in a struggle
between brothers, often in vio
lation of the most basic laws of
humanity. It was the blood of
men and women from other
countries as well, Catholics and
non-Catholics, among them a
good number of peaceful mis
sionaries who had come to the
continent of Africa to bring the
good news of Christ and with it
a spirit of true brotherhood and
true peace.”
The Pope particularly con
demned the fact that not only
were Religious persecuted for
their faith but that hostages
were killed without trial. He
called this a “brutal violation
of the right to life which obliges
us to recall solemnly the great
commandment . . . You shall
not kill.”
“Let everyone regard the per
son of the hostage as sacred and
inviolable,’’ the Pope pleaded,
citing the natural law and in
ternational treaties. “By what
aberration,” he continued, “could
an attempt be made to justify
this murder? And as regards
the prisoner, is he not — like
the wounded and disabled —
consequently protected by the
common laws of the law of na-
The Pope noted that the ex
cesses in Africa are committed
by only a minority of men, but
he urged them: “Do not soil
your hands with crimes that will
remain in centuries to come as
a stain on Africa’s history.”
He asked them to show in
stead “that you are worthy of
reaching this independence of
which you are rightly proud,
able to carry its weight and its
honor in respect for the sacred
rights of the human person and
the laws of life in society.’’
After appealing specifically to
the Congo to end violence, the
Pope spoke to the whole African
continent:
“To all our sons of Africa
who, whether in their hearts or
publicly, have nobly rejected
and condemned the excesses we
have just deplored, we want to
address an appeal to reflect on
the serious lesson emerging from
those tragic events. Blood calls
forth blood. One disorder begets
another. There is only one path
leading to peace and prosperity,
the path of respect for natural
law, for the rights of others
and, above all, for the right to
life.”
To the missionaries present at
the Mass the Pope said:
“May the example of your
brothers and sisters, far from
saddening and discouraging you,
be a most exhilirating stimulus
for you ... We can legitimately
nourish the hope that they have
become interceders in heaven,
for your religious families and
protectors of those apostolic
fields where they offered their
sweat and their blood. To their
intercession we entrust you, and
to the intercession of Mary, Mo
ther of the Church, and of St.
Paul, the incomparable model
of missionaries of all times'.
May they watch over and pro
tect you.”

TO DISCUSS DIFFICULTY
Melkite Cardinal Will
See Protesting Prelate
COURT TEST
Major Ruling On
Colleges Shortly
ROME (NC)—An Eastern-rite
prelate who protested the entry
of his patriarch into the College
of Cardinals will meet with him
in Beirut, Lebanon, in an effort
to iron out the difficulty.
The meeting will involve Max-
imos Cardinal Saigh, Melkite-
rite Patriarch of Antioch, and
his vicar for Egypt, Archbishop
Elie Zoghbi. Archbishop Zoghbi
announced his resignation when
Pope Paul VI named Patriarch
Saigh among 27 new cardinals.
Later he suspended the resigna
tion pending a personal discus
sion with the patriarch.
Archbishop Zoghbi cont ends
that the bestowal of the rank of
cardinal on an Eastern-rite pa
triarch is a “negation of the
patriarchal institution which has
always been at the summit of
the Eastern church.” Cardinal
Saigh’s position is that his new
rank is a matter of entering
more fully into the universal
Catholic Church.
Archbishop Zoghbi met (Feb.
23) with Melkite-rite Archbishop
Georges Hakim of Acre, Israel,
who flew to Beirut from Rome
to discuss the reported resigna
tion of the protesting prelate.
Archbishop Zoghbi agreed to fly
to Rome for a meeting with
Cardinal Saigh, but the meeting
was later arranged for Beirut.
A spokesman for Cardinal
Saigh pointed out that all the
other Melkite-rite bishops asso
ciated with him have agreed
with him that he should accept
membership in the Sacred Col
lege.
Archbishop Zoghbi maintained
that in the past the Melkite-rite
patriarch had declined the car-
idinalate, and he stated his posi-

tion as follows: “I do not agree
that an Eastern patriarch should
be a cardinal . . . particularly
if the cardinalate is offered as
a promotion. The patriarchate in
the East has been and remains,
a summit for 200 million East
ern Christians, and there is no
promotion from a summit. The
ecumenical synods which impose
their decisions on West and East
alike have made of the patriar
chate a principle until this very
day.”
The spokesman for Cardinal
Saigh said the patriarch agreed
to become a cardinal upon the
assurance of Pope Paul that “a
deep evolution was under way
and that entry into the College
of Cardinals would no longer in
volve an incorporation int6 the
Church of the West but rather
a more universal participation
in the pastorate of the Catholic
Church.”
State winner in the Voice of
Democracy contest, Mary Bar
bara Benedetto of Mt. de Sales,
Macon, will represent Georgia
in the national contest in Wash
ington, D.C., March 5.
Selected February 11 as Geor
gia’s contestant from among
3,000 original entrants, Mary
Benedetto was awarded a $200
scholarship and a six-day trip to
the Nation’s capital by the
Georgia Association of Broad
casters and Georgia Veterans
of Foreign Wars, co-sponsors of
the annual Voice of Democracy
script-writing contest.
In Washington March 5-10 Ma
ry Benedetto and other partici
pants in the national Voice of
Democracy contest will be hon
ored at a congressional banquet
where the winner will be an
nounced and will participate in
specially arranged tours of the
Nation’s Capital. In addition to
visits to places of historic and
cultural interest, a visit to the
grave of President John F. Ken-'
nedy is also on the agenda.
Shortly after winning the State
title in the Voice of Democracy
contest, Mary Benedetto captur
ed first place in the city of Ma
con in the American Legion
Oratorical Contest, February 18
and was awarded a $25 prize.
Mary’s participation in the dis
trict contest is not possible be
cause of conflicting dates of this
contest and national Voice of
Democracy Contest in Washing
ton.
At Mount de Sales Mary is ed
itor-in-chief of the school news
paper and is a member of the
sodality, the C.S.M.C., the glee
club, and the dramatics club.
Mary’s previous speech experi
ences include serving as assis
tant director of the last school
play and playing roles in “I
Remember Mama” and “You
Can’t Take It With You,” both
Mt. de Sales productions. She is
currently participating in the
speaking chorus of the play, Ju
dith, to be produced April 6 at
Mcunt de Sales.
An exchange of letters be
tween Pope and patriarch pre
ceded the latter’s decision, it
was explained. Certain essential
points are assured for the future
by recent decisions of the Pope,
the spokesman noted:
“First, the fact that the patri
archs do not receive a Roman
title but enter into the College
of Cardinals with the title of
their patriarchal see. Second,
that of a first change in the or
der of precedence, which al
ready brings us much closer to-
the order established by the first
ecumenical councils, with the
well-founded hope of a general
review of the question. Third,
that of the radical transforma
tion of the ceremonial of the
consistory, ' more in harmony
with the liturgical renewal and
the sense of the Church in our
age.”
The winner of the national
Voice of Democracy contest will
be awarded a $5,000 scholarship.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (NC) — A
ruling is expected in a matter
of days in a major court test of
the constitutionality of public
aid to church-related colleges.
Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court Judge O. Bowie Duckett
said (Feb. 24) that he would
hand down his ruling in “10
days to two weeks.” He made
the statement to attorneys at
the close of the final hearing in
the suit whose trial began Nov.
30.
Judge Duckett’s decision is ex
pected to be only a first step
in a legal process that could oc
cupy several years and go as
far as the U.S. Supreme Court.
Both sides in the suit have in
dicated that they will appeal a
ruling against them to higher
courts.
The suit was launched by the
Horace Mann League, an organ
ization of public school adminis
trators, and 13 Maryland tax
payers.
It challenges the constitution
ality — on church-state grounds
—of action by the Maryland leg
islature in voting $2.5 million in
matching construction grants for
four church-related colleges in
the state.
The schools are: Western Ma
ryland College (Methodist), West
minster, which was designated
to receive $500,000 to help build
a science building and dining
hall; Hood College (United
Church of Christ), Frederick,
$500,000 for a dormitory; St. Jo
seph’s College (Catholic), Em-
mitsburg, $750,000 for a science
building; and the College of
Notre Dame of Maryland (Cath
olic), Baltimore, $750,000 for a
science building.
Actual granting of the funds
has been held up pending the
outcome of the court test.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs, in
cluding prominent constitutional
lawyer Leo Pfeffer, have con
tended that use of public funds
to aid church-related colleges
violates state and Federal con
stitutional provisions on separa
tion of church and state, ,
Attorneys for the colleges
have argued that there are^^-
ple historical and legal pVP
dents for public aid to such in
stitutions.
Among the issues on which ar
gument centered during the
hearings in the circuit Court was.
the degree to which religious in
fluence is present in the instruc
tion of church-related schools,
and whether it would be possi
ble to establish guidelines to de
termine whether religious influ
ence was present to an extent
that would preclude public as
sistance.
In an exchange with Pfeffer
shortly before the hearings end
ed, Judge Duckett commented,
“I think you can draw lines.”
It was also noted that a ruling
barring all public aid to all
church - related institutions of
higher education would have
major impact on U.S. higher
education. More than half of all
U.S. colleges and universities
have some degree of church af
filiation, including such schools
as Harvard and Princeton.
