(NC)--A priest-editor primarily blam ed Christians, rather than pa gans or atheists for the social inbalance in the world today. Msgr. Daniel Moore, editor of the St. Louis Review, arch- i diocesan newspaper, told news paper, radio and television per sonnel of the St. Paul-Minne- apolis area at the annual Press Month symposium at the Col lege of St. Thomas here, some editors in their efforts to "en ter the marketplace" with Ca tholic newspapers, are over eager to crusage against ath eists, agnostics and others who do not know about Judeo-Chris- tian principles. "IT IS not the pagan’s fault that there is social imbalance, poverty, greed, strife and war", Msgr. Moore said. "It is the Christian’s fault." The Catholic press, he said, should exist "to help form the Catholic’s mind and endow it with Christian principles, so that he can aptly think about and make judgments about the larger issues of the day." Msgr. Moore indicated many Catholic publications have readers who don’t want to think about these larger issues. "Many of our subscribers are as surprised to see us (Catho lic periodicals) in the market place as they are to see nuns bowling and going to ball games," he said. "The sur prise is often well mixed with chagrin when we discuss a sub ject about which there are strong pros and cons. "BUT OUR diocesan papers must be Catholic not only with an upper case ’C’, but a lower case one as well. According to Pope John, not one of the lar ger issues of the day fails to have its moral facet", he said. "There is no intention (on the part of an editor) to neglect the minor issues, but such things as sports, wedding an nouncements and parish so- DUTCH CARDINAL Expressed WAGENINGEN, The Nether lands, (NC)—The ecumenical council has demonstrated the broad spiritual diversity that exists within the essential unity of the Faith, Bernard Cardinal Alfrink said here. The Archbishop of Utrecht, who is one of the 10 presid ing officers of the council, told a meeting of Catholic students here of some of his "impres sions and opinions" of the coun cil’s activity. In the course of his talk he explicitly denied a cial events must be put in their proper place and proper per spective. And yet there are those among your subscribers whose only interests are the minor issues, and when per spectives clash you have irate customers", he added. Msgr. Moore said while the nature of the Catholic press is different from that of the secu lar press, the two do overlap in places. He declared: "The Catholic press and secular press do have common inte rests and sometimes sharp dis agreements on some issues." At Council charge by an Italian leftist newspaper that a widely pub licized speech he made last October in defense of the Ro man Curia was instigated by "any Roman institution." CARDINAL Alfrink said of the council: "The external diversity of the more than 2,000 bishops of course involves inner variety and spiritual diversity that show all the shades that are possible within the essential unity of the Faith. That unity in the Faith and that wonderful spi ritual unity that seeks to serve the Church were amply dem onstrated. "Various opinions existed— and the expression of these opinions was the aim of the council—but all were of one will: the welfare of the Church. One cannot speak of group in terests or party interests, be cause there are no parties in the strict sense of the word. There are only bishops of the Church, who all want to determine and promote the well-being of the Church. "The groups are very elastic, without clearly defined bounda ries, and for that reason a won derful unanimity appeared—af ter days of discussions and, seemingly, extremely diverse expressions of opinions—the mind and the welfare of the Church had at last been spelled out in abbreviated form." VATICAN CITY (NC)—The dramatic release of Archbishop Josyf Slipyi of Lviv from con finement is interpreted here as being a first visible sign of a relaxing of tensions be tween the Holy See and the Soviet Union. There is no specific official declaration to this effect. Nor is it possible to deduce it di rectly, since a mask of silence has been clamped on all com petent sources in the Vatican which might throw light on the Archbishop’s freedom. BUT A change of policy can be deduced by piecing together bits of information unofficially leaked to Italian journalists and later identified by competent sources as being true. Archbishop Slipyi himself, now a resident in the apartment reserved for episcopal guests at the Monastery of St. Nilus at Grottaferrata outside Rome, is seeing no one but close friends and Vatican officials. He appears to be in good health. THE BITS of information drawn from various sources present this picture: At some point during the first session of the Second Vat ican Council, which was held from October to December last, Gustavo Cardinal Testa, Secre tary of the Sacred Congregat ion for the Oriental Church, asked Augustin Cardinal Bea, S. J., President of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, to arrange a meeting for him with the observer delegates of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church. The meeting was arranged in Cardinal Bea’s apartment in the Brazilian College. Present were the two cardinals, Arch priest Vitali Borovoi of Lenin grad, Archimandrite Vladimir Kotliarov of the Russian Mis sion at Jerusalem and Msgr. Jan G. M. Willebrands, secre tary of the Secretariat for Pro moting Christian Unity. Pope John was seized with emotion at seeing Archbishop Slipyi and moved to embrace him. The Oriental Rite pre late, instead of receiving the embrace, prostrated himself on the floor before the Pope as a sign of respect for the Pontiff. The Pope had been reading the "imitation of Christ" as he was waiting for Archbishop which he had read just before he entered: "Happy is the mo ment in which Jesus calls us from tears to the joy of the spirit." These were the words which Pope John wrote on the photograph of himself which he gave to Archbishop Slipyi at the end of more than an hour’s conversation. THE TWO spoke in Italian, since Archbishop Slipyi, who spent some years in Rome as a student, knows the language well. Why did Archbishop Slipyi leave Russia? The only clear information from a Vatican source says that "the metro- source says that "the Metro politan did not request his own freedom." Archbishop Slipyi himself is reported to have told an old friend who visited him that he left under obedience —which would mean by orders from the Pope—and that he left sorrowfully, • SEE ALSO PAGE 3 \\ ARCHBISHOP SLIPYI It is further reported here that Archbishop Slipyi left Rus sia with a passport which bears no indication that he is not free to return.

The United States Department for him to return to, since for all practical purposes the Ukrainian Rite has been wiped out in the Soviet Union. There was also an indication that Archbishop Slipyi would remain in Rome indefinitely, HOW IS A change in policy indicated? First of all, the iron clad secrecy is an indication. There is also the fact that a letter which Ukrainians in Rome attempted to circulate during the ecumenical council was stopped by Vatican officials, Indicating that they wished to avoid giving offense to the ob server* of the Russian Ortho dox Church. This would have been a basic courtesy to the two Russian Orthodox prelates. But one Ita lian journalist, who appears to be particularly well informed, writes that It was also to be noted that "this attitude toward the Russian observer* was di ctated by the necessity of not disturbing the delicate negoti ations then in progress." of Agriculture Administrative office for the nine southern states will work with the Catho lic School Office and make available several of their con sultants, as well as Miss Jose phine Martin, State Supervisor, School Lunch Program, who will also be one of the speakers.
