LAW DEAN’S OPIMM
Religion Should Have
Place In U.S. Schools
PHILADELPHIA (NC)
A law school dean called here
for an expansion of acedemic
and religious freedom to take
account of the religious be
liefs of public school pupils
and teachers.
Father Robert F. Drinan,
S. J. , dean of the Boston
College law school, charged
that suppression of religious
beliefs in all school-related
activities is “in violation of
America’s traditionally deep-
seated respect for the reli
gious freedom of every per
son.”
Furthermore, he said, neg
lect of religion in public
schools “creates and unrea
listic situation, a never-never
land, which prevents the pub
lic school from carrying out
one of its missions—the es
tablishment of community un
derstanding despite the pre
sence of religious differenc
es.”
Father Drinan spoke (Oct.
14) at a luncheon during the

AD 6-8989 — 302 E. Liberty
Savannah
“Pennsylvania Conference on
Church and State” held at
the University of Pennsyl
vania law school. The two-
day conference was sponsor
ed by the law school with a
grant from the Philadelphia
Foundation.
Father Drinan warned that
the problem of giving instruc
tion about religion and mor
ality in public schools is to
day “more acute than most
educators will admit and more
important than most parents
or churchmen realize.”
“For the danger now,” he
said, “is not that the schools
will revert to some type of
neo-sectarianism, but rather
that the schools will pursuant
to the most laudable motives,
teach moral values not as the
products of any religious tra
dition but as truths to be ac
cepted and adhered to because
they are state-endorsed and
state-enforced.’ ’
As matters now stand, he
said, a public school teach
er cannot constitutionally give
any reason for saying that ac
tions like lying, stealing and
cheating are wrong, other than
that the state says they are.
He suggested that this a-
mounts to saying that the state
is “not merely the law-mak
er but also the morals-mak
er.”
Stressing the educational
failure involved in neglecting
religion in public schools, Fa
ther Drinan said “the reli
gious pluralism which has en
riched the American nation
should not be stopped at the
door of the school.”
He urged that the “enlarg
ing religious and academic
freedom” being extended to
teachers and students in many
state colleges and universi
ties where religion courses
are offered be made available
on lower educational levels.
“The accent in discussions
about the place of religion in
the public school should ... be
shifted from the often exagge
rated emphasis on theno-aid-
to-religion principle to the
equally important but often
neglected principle of extend
ing the maximum freedom in
religious and cultural matters
to all citizens,” he said.
He called it an “undeni
able fact” that public schools
have “not...done as much as
is possible to carry out their
role in promoting community
understanding,” and added:
“Is it not fair to raise the
question whether the silence
about religion in the public
school is the best way to bring
about inter-religious harmony
among the young citizens of
the oncoming generation?”

250 DISSENT
Non - Christian Schema
Gets Council Approval
VATICAN CITY—The ecu-
mencial council voted final
approval of the amended do
cument on the Church’s at
titude toward non-christians,
including the Jews, at its 150th
general meeting.
The council Fathers ap
proved the schema as a whole
by a vote of 1,763 to 250.
They also approved by a large
majority the key section
saying that not all Jews are
responsible for Christ’s death
but omitting the word “dei-
cide” (God-killing) which had
been included in the unamend
ed text.
The approved schema on
non-Christian s puts a council
on record for the first time
in Church history as recog
nizing good in such non-Chris
tian religions as Hinduism,
Buddhism and Islam.
Key discussion on the text,
however, centered on its
fourth paragraph which at
tempts to bury once and for
all every tinge of anti-Semit-
By Father John P. Donnelly
ROME (NC)—The road of
cooperation and mutual under
standing which has been
opened by passage of the de
claration on relations with
non-Christian religions,
especially the Jews, must be a
two-way street if it is to be
a success.
Bishop Francis P. Leipzig
of Baker, Ore., who is chair
man of the subcommission on
Catholic-Jewish relations of
the U. S. bishops’ ecumenical
commission, said success in
future developments between
the two faiths will depend on
both sides.
Speaking at the U. S.
bishops’ prrss panel (Oct. 15)
Bishop Leipzig said he was
“delighted at the approval of
the declaration,” and that it
was “of great significance...
I am sure it will usher in a
new era of friendship and co
operation with our Jewish bre
thren for the benefit of all
men.”
Bishop Leipzig, in a printed
statement, noted that there
were “in my opinion, minor”
imperfections in the declara
tion. He said the document
contains some weaker expres
sions than one would want.
“But individual expressions
or sentences carry less weight
than the entire document. What
counts is the overall text and
the overall spirit.
“I look forward to the time
when the council’s wish for
more deepened conversations
with our Jewish brethren will
be implemented, and I pledge
my wholehearted support to-
ism among Christians. Trac
ing the links between the
chosen people oflsraelandthe
“people of God” of the New
Testament, the document de
plores all attempts to blame
the Jewish people collectively
for Christ’s death or to teach
Christianity in such a way as
to engender hatred for the
Jews.
The controversy at the
fourth session—prompted
sometimes by political consi
derations, sometimes by tor
tuous theological discussion-
-centered around the amend
ments to the text approved in
a general way at last year’s
session.
The word “deicide” con
tained in the former draft
was removed from the final
text and the word “condemns”
in describing the Church’s
attitude toward anti-Semitism
was replaced by “deplores.”
On the other hand, the new
text contains the word “anti-
Semitism,” which was not in
ward that important purpose.”
Another statement was is
sued by Zachariah Shuster,
European director of the
American Jewish Committee.
He said the declaration’s ac
ceptance by the council is a
“significant event in the his
tory of Christian-Jewish re
lations and cannot fail to have
an impact in various parts of
the world.”
He termed it “unfortunate”
that the document had some
passages which might “cause
misunderatanding and con
fusion,” but he added: “It
must be recognized, however,
that the declaration denies an
age old myth of collective Jew
ish responsibility for the cru
cifixion, which caused to much
harm in the past. The decla
ration also speaks out against
persecution and anti-Semi
tism. Both of these assertions
have been long over due and
constitute an act of elementary
justice.”
During the press panel
meeting it was disclosed that
the council Fathers received
an anti-Semetic document
signed by about 30 so-called
Catholic or Christian organi
zations urging the Fathers not
to vote for the declaration.
Among the names on the list
was that of the Catholic
Traditionalist Movement, but
its former head, FatherGom-
mar De Pauw, who was at the
panel, said he had checked im
mediately with the move
ment’s leaders in the United
States and they denied signing
or even seeing any such docu
ment.
the former text. All these
changes were confirmed by
the council’s vote.
Since this document is now
complete, it is possible that
it will be added to the four to
be promulgated on Oct. 28,
although no indication of this
was given by Archbishop Fe-
lici, whose announcements
precede the voting.
The archbishop also an
nounced that balloting would
begin on Oct. 25, following
the scheduled week of re
cess, on the amended docu
ments on religious liberty, di
vine revelation and the aposto-
late of the laity, all of which
have been approved in a gen
eral way at previous meetings.
If voting is not completed in
time, a meeting might be held
the day following the Oct. 28
promulgations, he said, after
which the council will be in
recess until the meeting sche
duled for Nov. 9. Another
week’s recess is possible for
mid-November, he said.
At the public meeting, the
ceremonial order will be dif
ferent from that followed at
the end of the second and
third sessions in 1963 and 1964
when council documents were
promulgated, he said. The
documents will be read first
and the fathers asked for their
ceremonial vote on each.
While these are being tabu
lated, the Pope will concele-
brate Mass with several coun
cil Fathers. Then voting re
sults will be read and the
Pope will solemnly proclaim
them as part of the Church’s
teaching and discipline. For
merly, Mass preceded voting,
causing some awkward delays
while results were being tabu
lated.

ON BIRTH CONTROL
U.N. Talk Not
P ronouncement
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(RNS)--A spokesman attached
to the office of the Holy See’s
observer to the United Nations
said here that Pope Paul in
tended no “pronouncement” in
his brief reference to birth
control before the United
Nations.
He also pointed out that the
papal address should be con
sidered as a whole and “not
analyzed into minute, unre
lated meaning.”
Some Prostestant leaders,
noting the brief reference to
birth control in which the Pope
urged the Assembly not to
“favor” it, had been critical
of his remarks.
According to the spokes
man, “there was no intention
of the Pope pronouncing di
rectly on this subject at the
time of this address before the
United Nations General As
sembly.”
He stressed that the “entire
question of birth control has
been under consideration for a
long time” by a papal-
appointed committee. (The
Pope is expected to issue a
statement soon on the subject.)
And he expressed hope that the
report on varying translations
(the Vatican’s differs some
what from the U. N. version)
would not cause further con
troversy. “The matter should
be left to linguists,” he said.
“According to the spokes
man, “The Holy Father spoke
in beautiful and poetic lang
uage about the ‘banquet of
life’ to which all should be
admitted, for it would be ir
rational to limit the number
of guests at that banquet.
“It was never his inten
tion that the words would stir
up controversy and therefore
defeat the very purpose of his
message to men of good will.”

ON RED CHINA
V
U.S. Magazine
Claim Untrue
VATICAN CITY (NC)—It is
true that Pope Paul VI is
saddened by the fact that many
important nations do not be
long to the United Nations,
but that does not mean the
Pope is actively advocating
their membership.
Pope Paul was quoted by an
American magazine as sor
rowing over the absence of
nations like communist China,
East Germany and Indonesia
in the world organization. The
magazine said the Pope was
scanning a list of the 117 UN
members prior to his New
York trip, when he said to
an aide;
“Look at all those who don’t
belong. Germany and East
Germany—a beautiful coun
try. Indonesia—think of it,
100 million people-- walked
out. China with its millions and
millions. It would be good if
all these could take their
places with dignity, respect
ing the rights of others.”
It is reported here that the
quotes attributed to the Pope
are substantially correct.
They do not mean, however,
that he is actively backing
the admission of Red China
and Germany to the UN at
the present moment. He was
merely expressing regret that
because of various circum
stances so many Asian and
European nations are not
members of the UN, whose
goal is to establish peace
among nations. He was ex
pressing sorrow that because
of circumstances—some of
them understandable—some
countries remain outside the
UN.
The Pope was also quoted
by a newsman aboard the papal
flight to New York as saying
he would be willing to go to
Vietnam if it would help to
end the war there. The ac
curacy of this answer is dif
ficult to verify since he spoke
briefly with many reporters
during the flight, and because
of the crowd it was impos
sible to hear all he said.
The words he spoke pri
