ROME CEREMONY
Court Will Hear Arguments
On Sunday Observances
Pope Is Greeted
With Palms
WASHINGTON (NC) —The
U.S. Supreme Court will hear
arguments during next week in
a case in which the issues of
religious liberty and sabbath
observance have been raised.
The court has set aside one
hour for oral arguments In an
appeal by a Spartanburg, S.C.,
woman who says she was de
nied state unemployment com
pensation because, as a Seventh
Day Adventist, she refused a
job that would have required her
to work on Saturday.
THE high court agreed last
December 17 to hear the case.
The court’s ruling could be
significant in setting guidelines
on the touchy issue of what
happens when public policy
comes into conflict with relig
ious belief and the free ex
ercise of religion.
The appellant is Adell H. She-
rbert, a 57-year-old Spart
anburg woman who worked in
HAM KUENG
6 New Frontier’
For Freedom
SAN FRANCISCO (RNS) —
Father Hans Kueng has called
on American Catholics to play
a "leading position in the ’new
frontier' of the Church — its
cause for freedom from
within."
The 35-year-old priest, dean
of the theological faculty at the
University of Teubingen, Ger
many, and a consultant to the
Second Vatican Council, said
the "Church in the United States
can do much for the universal
Church. It can be a leader
especially in the manifestation
of freedom."
SPEAKING at the University
of San Francisco before 6,500
persons, Father Kueng said he
saw "a new period of fruitful
freedom beginning in the
Church." He praised Pope John
XXIII for fostering this move.
He said there were three
areas in which freedom ought
to be manifested by the Church,
Anti*Bia$ Bill
COLUMBUS, Ohio (NC)—The
Ohio Catholic Welfare Con
ference has urged the adoption
of a bill now before the Ohio
General Assembly which would
prohibit discrimination in hous
ing because of race, color, re
ligion or national ancestry.
They are "conscience, speech
and action."
The famed theologian criti
cized the Church in Spain for
not "fully observing" Canon
1351 of Church law which for
bids forcing anyone into the
faith. "We maintain that error
has no right, and it has not,"
he said, "But we have to main
tain that a person in error has
rights."
HE ADDED that the Catholic
Church was still "on the de
fensive" in freedom of speech
and said its devotion to free
dom in this area could be shown
bv abolishing the Index and the
required pre-censorship of
religious books. He said theolo
gians have to present their work
for approval by officials who
sometimes are not qualified to
judge the material.
In Church matter, Father
Kueng said, laymen "must as
sume the authority they have
by Baptism." But, he said,
they should realize the res
ponsibility that authority car
ries in the Church.
it appears to outsiders,
he said, that in the Catholic
Church "freedom is sacrified
to free man from responsibility
and let him be happy and

some
She became a Seventh Day
Adventist in 1957. In June, 1959,
her employer inaugurated a six-
day week and required all em
ployees to work on Saturdays.
She refused on religious
grounds and was dismissed
after missing work on six st
raight Saturdays.
SHE FILED a claim for un
employment benefits on July 29,
1959, with the State Employment
Security Commission. The
commission found her ineligi
ble for benefits, however, be
cause her failure to report for
work on Saturdays had made
her not "available for work"
as required under the state un
employment compensation law.
She asked the Spartanburg
County Court of Common Pleas
to reverse the Employment Se
curity Commission's decision,
but the court ruled against her
on June 27, 1960, and was up
held in May, 1962, by the state
Supreme Court.
IN APPEALING this ruling
to the U. S. high court, her
attorneys have argued that the
state Supreme Court’s interp
retation of the unemployment
compensation law "imposes a
substantial penalty on the ex
ercise... of her religious free
dom."
"Surrender of appelant’s re
ligious freedom to worship God
on her sabbath may not be
made a condition of her right
to unemployment compen
sation," they have argued.
A small vestibule called the Chapel of the Angels guards the entrance to Our Lord’s
Tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Just through the passage is the
place where Christ was laid In the tomb, Etnd where — three days hence — He rose from
the dead. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a place of special devotion during the
Easter season.

ROME —His Holiness Pope
John XXIII was greeted by wav
ing olive branches when he went
to a suburban parish south of
Rome on Palm Sunday to wind
up his weekly lenten vis its to the
people of his diocese.
His trip to St. Tarcisius’
church made the neighborhood
singular in another way: The
partisan wall posters which are
so much a part of the vista
at election time were absent.
The country's political parties
by mutual agreement removed
election posters from around
the church so that there would
be no possibility for television
viewers to connect the Bishop
of Rome with any political back
drop. The national elections
were only three weeks away,
but instead of campaign bill
boards, there were posters
reading: "Viva 11 Papa," "Ben
venuto Santo Padre," and "Viva
il Papa dela Pace."
POPE John had taken part in
the solemn Palm Sunday liturgy
in St. Peter's basilica that
morning. He was borne into the
world’s biggest churchbyaside
door and stepped down from his
portable throne at the central
altar. Nineteen cardinals and a
congregation of 10,000 looked
on as the crimson-coped Pope
blessed the palms. Thenfollow-
ed the joyful procession com
memorating Christ's triumphal
entry into Jerusalem. The Pope
was carried on his throne a-
gain, preceded by the cardinals,
bishops and other officials of the
papal court, each carrying a
piece of elaborately plaited
palm prepared by cloistered
Camaldolese nuns of Rome.
When the Pope reached the
front door of the basilica, he
imparted his blessing and then
returned to his apartment in the
adjoining palace. Paolo Car
dinal Marella, Archpriest of
St. Peter's began the celebrat
ion of Pontifical Mass imme
diately after the Pope's depar
ture.
AT ST, Tarcisius’ church that
afternoon, the people were a-
waltlng the Vicar of Christ with
blest olive branches In hand.
The Pope himself spoke of the
peaceful significance of the ol
ive branch during his brief
discourse at the church.
At the end of his talk, he
voiced his wishes for a happy

Easter for all the people of

The route of the Pope's drive
down to St. Tarcisius’ church-
on the way to Naples near Ci-
ampino airport—was lined with
cheering people. Pope John took
advantage of the trip to stop
at a number of points along the
way, both going and returning.
On the drive back to the Vat
ican, he stopped briefly In front
of the Church of St. Ignatius
of Antioch and at the Hospital
of "Light and Love," where
a number of paraplegic child
ren were lined up in beds out
side th e building to see the
Roman Pontiff.

BAY CITY, Mich., (NC)—
Father Kevin Kenny, C. P.,
was telling a parents’ meeting
here that it’s ridiculous for
eighth and ninth grade students
to go to dances every Friday
evening.
"Get them interested in
sports," he urged. "Let them
go to a ball game. Later they
can get a hamburger and then
go home."
"Well, perhaps a tuna fish
sandwich might be better," Fat
her Kenny conceded to an ob
jection from the floor.
