election, to replace Hugh H.
Grady, Savannah, who had been
Past State Deputy in the Zwick
nagel administration.
Besides routine matters on
the agenda of the State Council,
one of the principal business
items was the approval of a pro
posal by J. Gregg Puster, state
public relations chairman, that
a booklet be published and dis
tributed by the Georgia Knights
of Columbus, listing all the
parishes, stations, missions
and other places where Mass
is celebrated regularly.
MONSIGNOR W. L. Clasby,
chaplain general of the US Air
Force, was the speaker at the
dinner dance Saturday night, and
stressed the need for active
charity on the part of all Ca
tholic laymen, in all facets of
the word’s meanings, as a force
to stamp out communism and to
build a solid and united front
as a bulwark against the anti-
Christ attitudes which are en
slaving more than a billion
people.
Another billion are in the
"free world", the Air Force
Colonel continued, and appro
ximately a third billion are
"on the brink of decision".
He urged the Knights and their
ladles at the convention to put
charit>- into positive action in
the home, with example and
prayer, and to present an image
to the non-Cathollc world of
"dignity and sobriety in keeping
with the teachings of Jesus
Christ."
The three-day program in
cluded a dance Friday night, a
fashion show and luncheon for
the ladles Saturday afternoon
which was the finals of the
program and convention.
The business sessions and
election of officers were held
Saturday afternoon and Sun

clock Mass in St. Jseph's
Church, of which Rev. Thomas
Payne, State Chaplain, was
celebrant, and Rev. John Fitz
patrick chaplain of Macon
Council, preached the sermon.
An invitation from Savannah

vention in that histotic sea-
coast city was accepted with
the late-May dates to be an
nounced later.

puty, served as state advocate

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (RNS) —
Father Hans Kueng, Swiss-born
theologian who has stirred con
troversy within the Roman Cat
holic Church with his pleas for
freedom, has a great desire to
put the Church in ist proper
perspective, a prominent pr
iest-editor said here.
A personal account of Father
Kueng was given to readers of
the St. Louis Review, official
newsweekly of the St. Louis ar
chdiocese, by the paper's ed
itor, Msgr. Daniel Moore, in an
article entitiled: "What Is
Father Kueng Really Like?"
MSGR. MOORE said he was
basing his opinions of Father
Kueng, dean of the theological
faculty at Tuebingen University,
Germany, on several hours of
private conversation with him
and from two readings of his
book, "The Council, Reform and
Reunion."
"His great desire seems to
be to put the Church In its pro
per perspective," wrote the pr
iest-editor. "To help those out
side her to see her clearly,
to help those Inside her to en
joy her fully."
Father Kueng, a consultant to
the Second Vatican Council, has
been making an extensive lec
ture tour of the U. S. In sev
eral talks he has concentrated
on the need for the Church to
function in an atmosphere of
freedom.
He has advocated such chan
ges as abolition of the Church’s
Index of Forbidden Books and
relaxation of the rules onmixed
marriages between Catholics
and non-Catholics.
Msgr. Moore noted that Fat
her Kueng’s suggestion regard
ing the Index is looked upon by
some as "opening the gates to
mass defection."
"DR. KUENG wouldbeamong
the last ones to espouse a meas
ure that would endanger the faith
of Catholics," the St. Louis edi
tor wrote. "Freedom, res
ponsibility', maturity and order
are, in his overview of the nat
ure of the Church, all linked
together."
Abolition of the Index, Msgr.
Moore said, would not "repeal
the Divine law that requires us
to protect the gift of faith. Rat
her, it would place greater re
sponsibility on the individual
and therefore, call for and de
mand maturity not now evi
denced in members of the Ch
urch.”
Msgr. Moore praised Father
Kueng for "the quiet, calm

ATLANTA. GEORGIA
SANTA ROSA, Calif., (NC)
-- A Catholic priest told 300
Presbyterian ministers and
elders that Christian reunion is
still distant but efforts at
cooperation toward that end
could and should be made now.
Msgr. Walter J.Tappe, Vicar
General of the Diocese of San
ta Rosa, who accompanied Bis
hop Leo T. Maher of Santa Rosa
to the first session of the ecu
menical council last fall, spoke
on the council at the annual
Northern California Presbytery
convention here.
At the end of the convention
session, all present joined in
a prayer for the success of the
council and the health of His
Holiness Pope John XXIIL
MSGR. TAPPE, after detail
ing the work of the council,
discussed the possibility of Ch
ristian reunion which, he said,
is obviously a long way off.
He noted, however, three areas
in which churches could help
spur the cause of unity: joint
efforts to correct historical er
rors which feed prejudices; in
tensified study of the spiritua
lity of all churches, and cont
inue dialogue among theo
logians.
Dialogue should be restricted
currently to theologians, Msgr.
Tapp said. "At the present
stage in the development to
wards unity, too much haste,

Hop will be held Saturday, May
18th from 8 PM to 11 PM
in the St. Jude's School Cafe-
torium. The dress is informal
and the donation is 50£ per
person.
The dance band, one of At
lanta ’s most popular is Bruce
Fitzgerald and his Bonnevilles.
Students from the 9th grade thr
ough the 12th grade are wel
come.
Impatience with measurable re
sults and too broad a base in
and about the dialogue could re
sult In mere argumentation or
vulgar attempts at proselyti
zing," he said.
"If the dialogue is to be suc
cessful," he continued, "parti
cipants must never view their
counterparts as adversaries.
Both sides must acknowledge
that their listeners are inqu
irers who sincerely seek the
truth and want nothing more
than a solidly founded, clear
exposition of doctrine without
reservation."
SECONDLY, he said, all Ch
ristians could easily cooperate
in Joint efforts to correct errors
in history, economics and pol
ity.
"We all might admit that as
much harm has been done to
good relations between the var
ious Christian bodies by 'bad'
historians, sociologists and
politicians as by ‘bad’ theolo
gians," Msgr. Tappe said.
Poor history books, he con
tinued, have been responsible
for starting, maintaining and
spreading much of the ill-will,
suspicion and misunderstanding
that have plagued the Christian
w orld. Joint cooperation in cor
recting such errors, he said,
could well rid Christians of
many of their psychological
prejudices.
HE SUGGESTED that the
ministers might wish to give
their parishioners copies of
Pope John’s encyclicals Mater
et Magistra and Pacem in Ter
ris in order to present the mind
of the Catholic Church on cur
rent problems affecting the
whole world.
Lastly, Msgr. Tappq recom
mended that efforts be made
to discover and understand the
spirituality of all churches. "It
wouldn’t hurt any of us to ad
mit that ’goof people* abound in
all religious" he said.
courage he has displayed in is
suing his message and spelling
out the specifics."
"I say 'quiet, calm cour
age’ because, on the one hand,
he is very serene in both public
and private. Some seem to have
the impression before hearing
him that he is a podium-poun
der searching for a prominent
church door on which he can
tack some theses. Nothing could
be further from the truth,” the
editor said.
Msgr. Moore said Father
Kueng may or may not merit
a place in Church history'.
"I think Hans Kueng him
self is entirely indifferent to
that possibility. But he isn't
indifferent to the nature of the
Church. And neither should we
be. And I would think that be
cause of men like Hans Kueng
the students of the 21st century
will find such Indifference im
possible," he said.
Msgr. Moore described the
theologian as "a shy person with
simple tastes who owns a Vol
kswagen back home and who
turns on the radio as soon as
he gets in your car (’I hear
so little moosick these days’)...
" A WRITER who has been
accused of distorting Marlology
RHODE ISLAND
but who constantly refers to the
Blessed Mother tenderly and
devoutly as ’Our Lady’ in his
conversation. . .
" A reformer who pleads for
Christian charity and practices
it. A good-natured, young pro
fessor who, after lecturing for
nearly an hour and a half, is
quite willing to spend another
hour conversing with a multi
tude of interested listeners who
come upon him from every
side."
Msgr. Moore noted the "mix
ed reaction" to Father Kueng’s
talks across the nation, ranging
from "especially critical" to
"unreserved praise" and
"from cries of ’heretic 1' to
worshipful adulation."
ONE CATHOLIC publication,
he said, carried an article which
said that those responsible for
inviting him to speak on the Bos
ton College campus would
sooner or later come to regret
the whole business.”
That observation, Msgr.
Moore added, "would probably
apply to (Joseph) Cardinal Rit
ter (Archbishop of St. Louis),
who extended the invitation to
the Swiss theologian to speak
here and who dignified the lec
ture with his presence.”
Baptists Urge Test
Of Textbook Law
PROVIDENCE, R.L, (NC)— A
resolution favoring a court test
case of the new state law which
provides textbooks and other aid
for private and parochial
schools was adopted by dele
gates at the 137th Baptist State
convention here.
The (April 28) resolution said
Baptists should "reaffirm our
opposition to the use of public
tax revenues for the support of
religious schools." The dele
gates adopted an amendment
offering their "collective sup
port in favor of judicial action"

On Friday, May 3, the St.

Senior Classes of Marist school

Members of the resolutions
committee explained that the
amendment did not necessarily
mean the church organization
would initiate a challenge to
the law. It was a commitment
by the church, they said, to
support whichever persons or
groups eventually decided to
take the law to court.
