PROTESTS TO GOVERNMENT
Bishop Charges
Anti-missionary
Action In Israel
NAZARETH, Israel (NC)—
This nation’s only Latin Rite
bishop has called on Israel’s
Ministry for Religious Affairs
todisassociateitself from "at
tacks and slanders on the mis
sion schools."
Bishop Pier Chiaperro, O.F.
M., Vicar General in Israel for
Patriarch Alberto Gori, O.F.
M., of Jerusalem, said at a
press conference here that he
had sent a letter making such
a demand to the ministry.
HE HAS also declared that
unless the ministry stops aiding
anti-missionary groups, the
Church will refuse to deal with
it.
At his press conference the
Bishop showed Israeli and
foreign press clippings to sup
port his claim that the minis
try is helping such organiza
tions.
Among them, he said, is Ke
ren Valdenu (Our Children’s
Fund), founded in 1953 to make
sure that every Jewish child in
Israel receives a Jew ish educa
tion. It operates about 30 youth
centers in various Israeli cities
and carries on a vigorous pub
licity drive. Last July Dr. Zwi
Werblowsky, a lecturer at Je
rusalem’s Hebrew University,
said in an interview published
in the Jerusalem Post that "Ke
ren Valdenu stresses in its pub
licity that it builds in youth
centers in the vicinity of the
missions and in order to coun
teract their influence.’*
BISHOP Chiaperro noted at
his press conference that he
alone had signed the letter to
the ministry since the efforts of
the Catholic Eastern Rite in this
country are concentrated on
Arabs and only the Latin Rite
maintains schools in Jewish
quarters. He said that no Jew ish
child is accepted in these
schools without his parents’
consent, that no organized mis
sionary activities are carried
out to convert children and that
non-CatholiCS art. not taken to
worship in churches.
In Jerusalem, a ministry
spokesman stated that "there
are no grounds for the accusa
tion that the Ministry for Re
ligious Affairs is financing vili
fication campaigns against the
educational institutions of any
church."
He said that the ministry sup
ports constructive efforts for
the building of youth clubs in
slums and city suburbs where
the difficult social and econo
mic conditions of the people
are sometimes exploited by va
rious missionaries in an effort
to alienate them from a Jewish
education and way of life.
HE ADDED that every de
nomination is receiving assis
tance from the ministry from
funds appropriated by Parlia
ment to aid the constructive
activities of the denominations.
A Foreign Ministry spokes
man has called Bishop Chia-
perro’s press conference accu
sations "inaccurate” and un
fortunate.
Meanwhile, Minister for Re
ligious .Affairs Zerah Wahrhaf-
tig has reported that he told a
delegation representing mis
sionary institutions in Israel
that the government does not
intend to ask for legislation
banning mission work in this
country.
Earlier it had been report
ed that a document prepared
for the ministry on missionary-
activities called for a law re
stricting mission work. (The
Israeli embassy in Washington
denied that such a request had
been recommended by any min
istry document.)
REPLYING in Parliament to
a question asked by Menahem
Porush of Agudat Yisrael, the
ultra-Orthodox Jewish reli
gious party-, Wahrhaftig also
said he had told the mission
delegation that Israeli public
opinion distinguishes between
the activities of churches in
their own communities and their
mission efforts among Jew s. He
said that public opinion regards
the latter as an improper in
terference in spiritual matters
which at times exploits social
and emotional conditions to cut
off Jewish children from a Jew
ish way of life.
Bishop Chiaperro has also
announced that he has sent mes
sages to Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion and President Itz
hak Ben-7vi calling forthefor-
mation of a committee to see
that justice is done in the case
of Father Gaetano Pieri, O.F.
M., and that assaults on priests
do not recur.
Father Pieri, superior of the
Franciscan monastery in Acre,
was injured in a fight with a
Jew-ish neighbor over a property
dispute. He and the neighbor,
Yitzhak Elmeleu, are suing each
other in court on charges of
assault and property damage.
TELLS CONGRESS
Jewish Educator
Aid To Private
WASHINGTON (NC)—An Or
thodox Jewish educator has told
Congress that it should face
head-on the issue of how to meet
the educational needs of child
ren in religiously oriented
schools.
Rabbi Morris Sherer, execu
tive vice president of Agudath
Israel of America, told the
House Education Committee
(Feb. 20) that Congress must
avoid "sweeping under the rug"
the question of Federal aid to
these schools.

BISHOP SHEEN
VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope
John XXIII has urged the world's
newsmen to exercise a good in
fluence on society' by stressing
the positive element? in the
news.
Pope John spoke at an au
dience granted to journalists
representing the Italian Press
Association and the Foreign
Press Association.
HIS TALK was based on a text
from the Book of Proverbs:
"God has His glory in what
He conceals,kings have glory in
what they fashion."
Commenting on the first part
of the text, the Pope said that
although the designs of God
are often hidden from men,
"your profession would require
you not only to interpret events
but sometimes also to anticipate
their course."
He reminded newsmen of
their dependence on God in their
profession, saying that "man,
measuring his own smallness
and frailty, should never pre
sume to trust too much to his
own judgments.
"EVEN when vested with high
authority, when expert in know
ledge and gifted with talents,
man cannot fail to bow before
divine wisdom and tremble at
the huge contribution required
of him in cooperating in the
spread of truth and love, of co
operating in the education of
his brothers who have immor
tal souls."
The relationship between
Creator and creature, Pope
John said, is called religion,
which binds everyone and has
implications for the delicate
task of the journalist. He said:
"THE call to Almighty God is
now received with universal re
spect and furthermore is heard
by men of good will not only
with sympathy but with a spirit
of faith and with a yearning for
faith."
But, he continued, he was la
boring under no illusions. He
said he knew that the Devil is
at work in the world as hard as
ever. This is all the more rea
son, he went on, for the love of
truth and zeal for the salva
tion of souls to be combined
with prudence, patience and
sacrifice. He stated:
"It is my sincere convic
tion that a positive exposition
for enlightened and honest peo
ple is the most persuasive ap
peal to the exhortation that the
pen must not become an instru
ment of lies, of systematic
alienation of brothers or the
corruption of morals."
HE THEN commented on the
second part of the biblical text
—"Kings have glory in what
they fashion" — and said that
this means:
"He who is invested with au
thority' must strive to under
stand what it is that God asks of
him and to make the divine will
the standard of his thoughts and
actions.’’
He briefly interpreted for the
journalists the meanings of
"human life, Christian life, so
cial life and the apostolate."
IN THE true vision of these,
he said, "all elements fall into
their proper place and man is
led to them with humility and to
act ardently for the welfare of
himself and his brothers."
He urged newsmen to "be
jealous custodians of a serious
code of journalistic ethics which
may be regarded as an example
of correctness and noble be
havior.
"Always bear in mind the in
fluence which the written word
has on minds, particularly the
weaker ones, remembering the
great rule of prudence and un
derstanding which led St. Paul
to say: ’All things are lawful
to me, but not all things are
expedient.'
"ALMOST always the way tc
the triumph of truth and wisdom
is prepared by knowing how to
wait and by disciplining oneself
in refraining from spreading
sensational news.
"During my 30 years in the
service of the Holy See, in the
East and in Paris, it happened
that I came into contact with
people of all tendencies, I con
fess that sometimes my heart
beat quickly with the desire to
express myself with a fullness
of language, not only priestly
but apostolic. But the circum
stances demanded only a few
words or even complete silence.
"SOMEONE once said to me:
'Thank you, Monsignor, for what
yoy did not say but allowed me
to understand.’ ’’
Pope John reminded journa
lists that the time must come
to everyman when he must leave
this earth and give an account
of his actions. When that time
comes, he said, "may each one
of you be able to say: I did not
dig furrows of division and dif
fidence. I did not afflict immor
tal souls with suspicion or with
fear. I was frank, loyal, trust
ful. I looked with fraternal sym
pathy into the eyes even of
those who did not share my
ideals."

Wall Can Ruin Civilization
ALBANY, N.Y., Feb. 26 (NC)
— Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J.
Sheen of New York said here
that there are two walls which
can destroy modern civilizat
ion—the wall of Berlin and the
wall of separation between
Church and State.
The Bishop spoke to members
of the legal profess Ion attending
a Red Mass in St. Mary’s
church. Bishop William A. Scul
ly of Albany presided at the
Mass at which Bishop Sheen
preached.
Declaring that "there is a
deadline of patriotism in our
country," Bishop Sheen added:
"There are those who would
set divisions and would try to
keep out spiritual and moral
influences by a wall of separat
ion between Church and State."
"There are two walls that
can ruin modern civilization,"
he continued. "The wall of Ber
lin that would keep vice so
isolated that it would never be
regenerated by virtue, and the
wall of separation between
Church and State which keeps
out goodness, morality and de
cency. We in the United States
do not want a union of Church
and State...we will opose it...
we want our Constitution to
stay as it is..."
ROME, Feb. 26 (Radio, NC)
— The forthcoming beatificat
ion of Mother Elizabeth Seton,
foundress of the Sisters of
Charity in the United States,
will have "an encouraging ef
fect on vocations," according
to Coadjutor Archbishop John
What we do want, the Bishop
asserted, are "the best influe
nces of Judaism, Protestantism
and the Church to bear on our
country. Not that there must be
uniformity...but unity."
"This is the United States
tradition," he asserted.
"Those who follow it are not to
be penalized."
P. Cody of New Orleans.
"Her beatification (March 17)
will probably be an inspiration
to young women to examine
the religious life," he said.
Archbishop Cody, apostolic
administrator of New Orleans
who is in Rome for meetings
of the ecumenical council’s
Commission on Seminaries,
Studies and Catholic Schools,
spoke at a news conference he
held because of his concern
at what he called the meager
press given the announcement
of the American widow’s im
minent beatification.
Archbishop Cody said that
His Holiness Pope John XXIII
"has been very much interest
ed in this cause." He said that
so, too, has Amleto Cardinal
Clcognani, Papal Secretary of
State, who served for 25 years
as Apostolic Delegate In the
United States.
The Archbishop said his own
interest stems from the fact
that New Orleans is the site
of the first authenticated mira

intercession. The cure involved
was that of Sister Gertrude
