Catholic Center Using
New Drug For Rhythm
By Mike Collins
COLUMBUS, Ohio (NC)—The
Columbus Diocesan Family
Planning Center is offering a
possible answer to the prob
lem of couples who find that
“rhythm just doesn’t work
for us.”
The center is making a new
drug, clomiphene citrate, a-
vailable on an experimental
basis.
The drug, known commer
cially asClomiphene,hasbeen
claimed to be a way to make
the rhythm method of birth
regulation more reliable.
Unlike birth control pills,
Clomiphene does not suppress
ovulation in women, accord
ing to its developers. In
stead, they say, it regulates
and pinpoints the fertile per
iod.
The pioneer in the use of
Clomiphene for birth regula
tion purposes is Dr. John
Boutselis, an assistant pro
fessor of obstetrics and gy
necology at the Ohio State
University Medical School
here.
Dr . Boutselis is also co
director with Father Arthur
Dimond of the Diocesan Fa
mily Planning Clinic.
He and his associates at
the university conducted ex
periments with 96 women. At
a recent medical meeting in
Boston, Dr. Boutselis report
ed for the first time publicly
on the use of the drug for birth
control.
Of the 96 women in the test,
95 obtained “beneficial re
sults” in achieving more re
gular patterns of ovulation, it
was stated.
This is a higher percentage
of success than can be ob
tained with even the most ef
fective form of mechanical
birth control, it was said.
Clomiphene has been call
ed a fertility pill. It has
been linked to the birth of
triplets and quadruplets in a
number of cases.
The drug is said to work
by stimulating the ovaries of
previously infertile women to
produce eggs.
A report on Dr. Boutselis’
experiments in using the drug
to aid the practice of rhythm
said he and his associates
waited for five days after a
woman’s menstrual period,
and then administered the drug
daily for five days.
They then used a tempera
ture control method to deter
mine when each woman ovu
lated. In almost all the wo
men tested, ovulation occur-
ed on the seventh or eighth
day after the last day of drug
therapy.
For each woman the num
ber of days until ovulation
could be calculated. When
the pattern was set, it recurr
ed monthly as long as the drug
was used.
In this way sexual abstinen
ce was reduced to three days
before and three days after
ovulation.
The drug has not been li
censed for use by the U. S.
Food and Drug Administra
tion, except on an experimen
tal basis.
How will it be used in the
Family Planning Center?
“That’s a medical deci
sion,” Msgr. Hugh Murphy, a
member of the center’s board,
said.
He said use would be de
cided by individual couples
and doctors. The doctors will
determine the need according
to the regularity of the wo
men’s cycles.
Then the couples themsel
ves will have to make the fi
nal decision, based on aware
ness of the drug’s possible
side effects— including the
possibility of mulitple births.

Spiritual Renewal Day
For Youth Of Columbus
One hundred and fourteen
young people of two Columbus
parishes gathered together on
Sunday Oct. 24th to partici
pate in a Day of Spiritual Re
newal.
The days spiritual activi
ties were sponsored by the
CYO group of St. Benedict’s.
Thirty seven youngsters from
the host parish, and 77 from
Our Lady of Lourdes began the
spiritual exercises by parti
cipating in a High Mass.
One of the highlights of the
Mass was the Baptizing of five
young converts, who through
the course of their studies
had participated in reception
of Baptism in stages. They
also received Communion un
der both species, specialper-
mission had been granted.
Mass was offered by Father
Austin Martin S.D.S. and the
theme for the day of Spiri
tual Renewal was set by his
sermon on “Who stole the
Torch of Liberty?” Father

gave two talks entitled: “The

and “Christ our Leader in

A Bible Vigil was conduct
ed by Father Cyril Dickrel,
S.D.S. assistant Pastor of’Mo-
ther Mary Mission in Phenix
City, Ala. The day’s spi
ritual activities closed with
Benediction and refreshments
were served in the Church
hall.

With “Dead Sea Salt?”
MIDLAND, Mich. (NC)—Is
the New Testament seasoned
with “Dead Sea salt?”
Father James K. Solari,
O.S.B., of Belmont Abbey Col
lege in North Carolina, ans
wered an emphatic “No” to
the question in an address to
800 persons at Central Inter
mediate school here.
Father Solari conceded that
many similarities exist be
tween the Qumran litera
ture and the New Testament,
but said “there is no founda
tion for the exaggerated in
fluence alleged by some mo
dern writers.”
Noting speculation that John
the Baptist might have lived
with the Qumran sect which
drew up the Dead Sea Scrolls,
Father Solari said that “if
the Baptist actuaUy did live
at Qumran, he must have bro
ken with the sect before he
undertook his mission of bap
tizing in the river Jordan,”
since his universal call to sin
ners was not consistent with
the group’s exclusive view.
The Benedictine scholar de
clared that the Dead Sea
Scrolls, the first of which were
found in 1947, “shed precious
light on the milieu and am
bit in which the Gospel was
first announced, in which the
Christian church was born,
in which the New Testament
was written.
“These literary parallels
tell us that we must look to
the Old Testament before all
else as the common source
for both the Qumran and New
Testament ideas and expres
sions,” he said. “The reli
gion of Jesus was firmly*
grounded upon the Jewish
Scriptures, and the Christian
community very definitely re
flects its Palestinian origin.”
The priest said that despite
similarities in vocabulary,
imagery and theological no
tions, “there is little solid
evidence of any direct bor
rowing on the part of the
Christian Church from the
Qumran sect.”
He saw the focal point of
divergence as the person of
Jesus Christ.
MEXICO CITY (NC)—Be
cause of “the peaceful coexis
tence exemplified by travel,”
the Church has a special mis
sion to perform in the realm
of tourism, the International
Union of Official Travel Or
ganizations was told by the of
ficial observer of the Holy
See.
Father Giovanni Arrighi,
O. P., of Rome asserted that
international travel is a ve
hicle of understanding and
peace among nations. The
priest, who is secretary of the
Italian bishops’ committee on
tourism, stated that the Holy
See sees tourism as so im
portant that if the international
travel union invited it to be
come a full, active member,
it would accept immediately.
“The membership of Qum
ran looked back to the Old
Testament for their rule of
faith,” he said. “They wished
to establish a perfect obser
vance of the law of Moses in
its pristine purity.”
On the other hand, Chris
tianity “looks to the person
of Jesus as the unique source
of salvation and as the one
who establishes the new co
venant foretold by Jeremiah
and Ezechiel,” Father Solari
stated.
In a brief speech on the
Christian concept and the
tourist industry, Father
Arrighi said “travel has be
come and important pheno
menon in contemporary life—
noted in Schema 13 of the Va
tican council—where com
munication between men, and
encounters between groups of
different cultures, customs
and standards, as weU as re
ligions , is both a necessity
and a forward step in world
understanding.”
Father Arrighi said that to
him the financial phase of the
tourist industry is secondary
because the more important
matter is the getting together
of human beings. That is why
the Church has a strong in
terest in the tourist industry,
he added.

6 No Free Ride
To Eternity’
CHICAGO (NC)- A Domini
can priest appealed here to
Catholic teenagers at their
national convention to rise
above the group, to work to
be persons of distinction.
Speaking to a session of the
eighth national convention of
the National catholic Youth
Federation, Father Richard
Butler, O.P., of Chicago said:
“You dress alike and you
talk the same jargon and you
like the same icky-sticky
.songs and you have the same
goals and ideals: the big
car, the big blast, the big
baH, the big time, the free
ride from here to eternity.
Get off it. Stop kidding your
self.”
“This is not only a dan
gerous time of conformity,”
he warned, “but also one of
reducing everyone to the low
est common denominator: the
age of the mythical common
man.”
Advertisers catering to
teenagers, he said, know teen
agers permit themselves to be
cut from the same mold and to
be disinterested in distinction.
Consequently, he continued,
one major advertising firm
advised its clients that “a man
no longer has to be something
—he need only to possess the
symbols of that being.”
Businesses were advised by
this advertising company “to
increase proliferation of
brands with special persona
lities with which people
can achieve identity-by-asso
ciation and thus further their
chances of standing out from
the faceless crowd,” he said.
Father Butler, a former na
tional director of the U. S.
Newman Apostolate and now
provincial director for the
Newman Apostolate for the
Dominican Order, told his au
dience: “You don’t need'eon-
sunption or the symbols of
consumption’ to set you apart
from the crowd.”
“You are different,” here-
minded. “You are not the same
as any other person alive, 6r

who ever lived before, or will
ever live in the future.”
Man’s relation to God makes
him distinct, he said, adding:
“Herein lies your greatness
and your individual distinction
and your personal dignity. Let
no one rob you of it. Ac
tually, no one can because it
cannot be taken fro m you.
Only you--you can give it up,
surrender it, abandon it and
get lost in the faceless crowd
heading for oblivion, the no
bodies going nowhere.”
In another session of the
convention sponsored by the
Youth Department of the Na
tional catholic Welfare Con
ference, Father Clarence J.
Rivers, a Cincinnati high
school teacher and author of
“An American Mass,” a sung
Mass based on Negro spiri
tuals, spoken on “The Chal
lenge to Love.”
Father Rivers expressed
confidence the world can at
tain a new social order of
justice and love and said
Christian must be in the fore
front of the effort.
Individualism, he held, is
becoming a thing of the past.
“We who live in 1965 are
no longer asking the old ques
tion, ‘Who is My Neighbor?’
Of that much at least we are
convinced. We know as man
kind up until now has never
known that every man under
the sun is our neighbor,” he
said.
“We Christians are the men
of the hour,” he said. “And
the question is will Christians
respond to the needs of the
world and the command of
Christ? Are we in fact wil
ling to be fully Christian? For
I swear there is no other
means under heaven by which
the world can be saved from
destruction.”
