tists, to promote scholarship
and greater participation in
scientific activities by Catholic
The guild meets annually in
conjunction with the convention
of the American Association for
the Advamcement of Science,
which brought 4,000 delegates
here.
CITING discourses of Pope
Pius XII and writings of John
Henry Cardinal Newman, Bis
hop Wright preached on the vo
cation and the characteristic
virtues of the devout scientist
in the 20th century.
“There is never any lack of
people who feel competent and
called upon to point out the de
fects of scientists and the sins
of ommission or commission
which may mar their image;
one prefers the positive atti
tude of honest praise and grati
tude in whice Pope Pius XII
expressed and typified the au
thentic disposition of the
Drops Football
Church, as distinct from that
of some of her nervous child
ren, toward scholars, scholar
ship and science,” the Bishop
said.
“That positive attitude,” he
continued, “recognizes and re
joices in the vocation of the
scientist. That vocation at the
moment is complex and mani
fold. On the moral and spiri
tual side, it includes preemi
nently th e destiny of helping
to ease a major tension of our
civilization—one of the many
and typical tensions which are
inevitable in a finite order
where nature and grace, the
mystical and the earthbound, the
spiritual and materal, reason
and faith, experience and medi
tation, tradition and progress,
potency and act, know-how and
know-why, even body and soul,
are too often seen as antimon
ies, in mutual and irreconcil
able conflict, rather than as
correlatives within a single plan
at work in disparate material
causes but all converging on
central final causes under a su
preme and overriding divine
purpose.”
THESE CONFLICTS in the
moral and intellectual universe
are symbolized by parallel con
flicts in the material universe
and are keenly felt by the pre
sent generation, the Bishop
said.
"Pope Pius XII, protesting
against the existentialist reac
tions to them, surveyed them in
his last Christmas message,
significantly entitled; ‘Modern
Technology and the Divine Law
NEW LIGHT has been shed on the origin of the famed obelisk
that stands in St. Peter’s Quare in Rome. The 83-feet high
monument’s present inscription is attributed to the Emperor
Caligula, but it has been discovered that the obelisk was first
erected by a Roman prefect of Egypt, Caius Cornelius Cal
lus, who committed suicide in 26 C. B. See story page nine.
HIGH SCHOOLS
j
Professor Assails
Student Reading
CINCINNATI (NC) A univer
sity professor cautioned high
school literature teachers to
take special care in guarding
their students from harmful
books,
books.
Father M. Joseph Costelloe,
S. J., classics professor at
Creighton University, Omaha,
sounded the warning before
more than 100 Sisters of Chari
ty from three states at an in
stitute on high school literature
teaching held at the sisterhood’s
Mount St. Joseph motherhouse
here.
IN AN interview, the Nebras
ka-born Jesuit said that high
school reading lists sometimes
includes books which students
aren’t mature enough to read
without danger.
“Some of the moral problems
encountered in reading,’’ he
said, “are excessive realism in
situation and dialogue, and the
portrayal of false philosophies.
Looking at the problem from
another angle, trouble ariese
when students read books that
are primarily indended for
adults, he said.
FATHER Costelloe observed
“we're living in a pagan milieu
in which traditional morality
has been widely abandoned.”
This is reflected in present-
day writing, he said.
Teachers have a responsibi
lity, he said, to ascertain that
books may be harmful for their
students. He suggested thar
“parents could be brought into
the discussion on difficult
points”.
Father Costelloe asked: “Can
a prudent reader of good moral
character derive aesthetic
pleasure from a book which is
fundamentally immoral?”
“OLDER critics, such as
Aristotle, would deny the pos
sibility,” he said, “but some
modern critics seem to imply
that morality has little to do
with art.”
Recalling Aristotle's warning
that certain plots should not be
used because they offend man's
moral sense, he said; “Aris
totle also observes that in jud- »
ging what is pleasant or un- j
pleasant we should go by the I
judgment of a prudent man,
just as with respect to food, j
the taste of a healthy man is
to be preferred to that of the
man who is sick.”

VATICAN CITY (NC) In his
last audience of 1962, Pope
John XXIII reminded those pre
sent that happiness and sorrow
are always side by side.
About 800 persons attended
the audience, many of them pa
rents of the students of Rome’s
North American College who
had been ordained several days
earlier.
Pope John drew his remarks
from the closeness of the two
feasts of Christmas, the day
before the audience, and of St.
Stephen Martyr, the feast of
the audience day.
HE TOLD the story of Christ
mas and said; “While great joy
surrounded the newborn Jesus,
at that very moment Herod
was planning the slaughter of
the innocents.” At the pre
sent time, he continued, while
he and those present were en
joying the audience, there was
war and bloodshed somewhere
in the world.
FIRST AID KITS
BOSTON, Mass. (NC) Ric
hard Cardinal Cushing his an
nounced that he will build a
large ecumenical center here
for the Paulist Fathers.
The Paulists, who are engag
ed in dialogue work in Boston,
said the foundation will be nam
ed the Cardinal Cushing Insti
tute for Religious Understand
ing.
The Archbishop of Boston
said the institute will be the
first of its kind in the United
States. It will be similiar
to those already functioning in
Europe, such as the Mohler In
stitute in Paderborn, Germany,
and the Istina in Paris.
The purpose of the new in
stitute — whose construction
cost will be about $250,000—
will be to carry on theological
studies and discussions between
Catholic, Protestant and Jew
ish clergymen.
The Institute, for which
ground will be broken toward
the end of March, will house a
theological library, small cha
pel, meeting rooms and audi
torium and living quarters for
resident and visiting clergy
men.
The Paulists have conducted
several dialogue sessions here,
most recently on October 23 and
24 when some 300 priests and
ministers attended sessions on
Chris tology, tradition and
scripture and the Church and
New Testament.
Time Selects Pope John
NEW YORK (NC) The selec
tion of His Holiness Pope John
XXIII by Time magazine as its
Man of the Year for 1962 marks
the first time a religious leader
has been chosen by the magazine
for the destinction it originated
in‘1927.
The magazine states that
Pope John “created history in a
way that few other men were
able to do in 1962”.
By convening the ecumenical
council, Time says, Pope John
“set In motion ideas and for
ces that will affect not only Ro
man Catholics, not only Chris
tians, but the whole world's
ever-expanding population long
after Cuba is once again Tibre*
and India is free of attack”.

Sisters Give Doctors Holiday Gift
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.(NC)
Nuns at St. Francis Hospital
here gave staff physicians
something right in their line
as a holiday gift-first aid kits.
The kits contain splints, ban
dages, dressings and other
emergency materials not usual
ly carried by doctors.
THEY WERE issued to the 45
staff physicians by the Francis
can Sisters, Daughters of the
Sacred Hearts of Jesus and
Mary, who conduct the hospital.
Sister Mary Lillian, who was
in charge of a medical self-
help course from which the idea
evolved, said the kits should
prove particularly helpful when
doctors are called to the scene
of an accident, because mater
ials for leg and arm splints
are not often available.
She added that the physi
cians receiving the kits lauded
the idea as a practical one and
well worth promoting.
