City State BY JAMES C. O’NEILL (N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) VATICAN CITY (NQ—Pi ob- lems connected with the "dia logue of the Church with the modern world" are among the most critical still facing the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, according to Augustin Cardinal Bea, S. J. The German - born Biblical 1 scholar who heads the Secre tariat for Promoting Christian Unity also expressed general satisfaction with the council’s progress to date, particularly with the climate created by the discussions of the bishops. He outlined his views in an ex clusive interview with the N.C. W.C. News Service. CARDINAL Bea, speaking in terms of the critical problems before the council’s third ses sion, noted that there are al ready a number of schemata before the council, such as the schema on Revelation and on the nature of the Church. "In addition to the questions which have already been dis cussed but not completed, I believe that the most critical problems that the council still has to deal with are above all the problems connected with the dialogue between the Church and the modern world," he said. As examples he mentioned "the demographic problem, the problem of peace and many others contained in the well known 'Schema 17' (which is devoted to the relation of the Church and the modern world)." HE ADDED that "in addition, there is the question of religious liberty, of relations between Catholics and Jews, which could possibly be treated together with the question of relations with monotheists and non- Christians in general. Last but not least there is the question of the attitude toward the mil lions of men without religion, the victims of practical or theo retical atheism."

"However, I am convinced that everything possible must certainly be done to avoid tak ing up any more of the most valuable time of the shepherds of souls than is absolutely nec essary-all the more so since the earlier sessions already have helped the Bishops suffi ciently to know the present sit uation of the Church and of the world." CARDINAL Bea noted that "it is difficult to avoid the impres sion that certain questions could have been solved more speedi ly." But at the same time he cautioned that "it is neces sary to consider also to what ex tent this would have been possi ble, in such a large assembly, without a certain infringement of the freedom of discussion." Evaluating the results so far of the council meetings, he said he felt that "on the whole they are satisfactory if we consider how much has been concluded, how much has already been prepared in great part and, above all, considering how greatly the council Fathers themselves benefited from the discussions. "Indeed, it seems to me that 60% at least of the results of the council consist in this useful ness which discussion offered to the council Fathers and, as a result, also to their work." The Cardinal was asked what he thought about the report that, if the third session is to be the last, the balance of the council’s work could be done by post - conciliar commissions and by mail. He replied: "I FULLY understand both the anxiety as regards the ex penses connected with the coun cil and, more especially, that of not keeping the shepherds away from their flocks for too long a time. I do not doubt that cer tain matters can also be solved by mail or through post-concil- iar commissions which would execute the directives and fol low the intentions of the coun cil." However, he added, "it is necessary at the same time to bear in mind also the great value of the live exchange of ideas in the discussions attended in per son by the council Fathers. Cor respondence by mail and com mission meetings are not on the level of live meetings." Cardinal Bea indicated that he was not in favor of removing all secrecy of the council: "It seems to me that what has been done for the press during the second session of the council is sufficient. I do not believe that it would be useful simply to lift the secrecy of the Council." LOOKING AT the question of secrecy in terms of the his tory of past councils, the Prince of the Church added that it was "sure that today there is prob ably no danger of a recurrence of the psychosis of the days when theological discussions were followed with the same passions as the circus games. "Nevertheless, we should not forget the grievous influence which the Impassioned public PAROCHIAL SCHOOL Pastor To Drop Only Two Grades MILWAUKEE (NC)--The West Allis pastor who announced he would close the first four grades of his parochial school now says he will close only the first and second. Father Oscar Winninghoff, pastor of St. Aloysius parish, announced the step after he conferred with Msgr. Edmund J. Goebel, Milwaukee archdio cesan superintendent of schools. FATHER WINNINGHOFF said he will drop the two grades at the start of the 1965 school year. The priest proposed last month that the West Allis-West Milwaukee public school board build a 24-room school build ing on parish property which would enroll half of the 1,154 pupils in the parish school. The board rejected the proposal. HE THEN said he would close the first four grades, putting some 600 pupils in area public schools. But the new announce ment means that only half that number will be sent to public schools. FOR THE SICK ’This is wonderful,’’ said E. G. Kellogg, superintendent of the West Allis-West Milwaukee public school system. "It cuts our problem exactly in half. I’m sure we can work it out." FATHER WINNINGHOFF said that dropping grades one and two will mean that he can have four classrooms for each of the six remaining grades, with an aver age of 38 pupils per room. Msgr. Goebel said there are a total of 232 parish grade schools in the Milwaukee arch diocese, of which 19 do not have the full eight grades. Total en rollment is about 100,000. 'THERE HAS been no arch diocesan ruling on dropping any particular grade such as is about to happen in Cincinnati," the monsignor said. "Each in dividual pastor has worked out the formula for educating pupils in his parish schools." Public school head Kellogg estimates it will cost his dis trict about $125,000 more a year to accommodate the pupils turned away from St. Aloysius. Marists Planning Lourdes Pilgrimage The National Rosary Pilgri mage for the Sick to Lourdes, sponsored by the Lourdes, Bureau of the Marist Fathers in Boston, Mass., in conjunct ion with the Catholic Travel Office in Washington, D. C„ will depart on September 28th from New York via Alitalia jet flight to Lourdes. The pilgri mage will be for nine days and the Novena for the Sick will be gin with solemn Mass in New York the morning of Septem ber 28th with Benediction and Blessing of the Sick prior to de parture at the Chapel of Our Lady of the Skies at Kennedy International Airport. EXirlng their stay in Lourd es, the sick will be cared for and accommodated at either hospital or hotel. Daily will participate at Mass at the Grot to of the Apparitions, will be taken to the baths each day, assist in the procession of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Blessing of the Sick each after noon, and the Candlelight Pro cession each evening. Reservations for the National Rosary Pilgrimage for the Sick can be made by contacting Reverend Rudolph Deziel, S.M., The Marist Fathers, Lourdes Bureau, 27 Isabella Street, Boston 16, Mass., or the Cath olic Travel Office, Dupont Cir cle Building, Washington, D.C. or their local Alitalia Office. discussion on papal infallibility undoubtedly exercised on the discussion in the council hall during the First Vatican Coun cil." And bringing the point up the the present day, Cardinal Bea asked pointedly: "Did not cer tain papers, during the second session of the Second Vatican Council itself, set themselves up, with suspect zeal, as de fenders of pontifical primacy against the conciliar Fathers themselves?" TURNING TO the subject of religious liberty, a subject dear to the Cardinal's heart since it was one of the five chapters on the schema on Ecumenism prepared by his secretariat, the Cardinal stressed that "I absolutely wish to respect the freedom of movement and of decision of the competent di rective organs of the council.’’ While pointing out that the arranging of the agenda of the council belongs to the various bodies named by the Pope, the Cardinal added that "neverthe less, considering the fact that the second session of the coun cil was concluded in the middle of a discussion of a schema, of which religious liberty is a part, it seems logical to be lieve that this schema should be among the first on the agen da of the next session." He said he has no doubt that it will be discussed. Further more, he stated, "religious lib erty seems to be a theme so dear to the Church, and of such importance for our relations with non-Catholic brethren and, indeed, with Christians in gen eral, that I do not doubt that it will obtain a very wide ap proval." In connection with this the Cardinal singled out the interest and support which the chapter on religious liberty has received from many of the American bishops. Asked for his opinions on the council's consideration and ap proval of the chapter dealing with the Church’s spirutual re lation to Judaism, the Cardi nal said his thinking is the same he had just expressed on the chapter on religious freedom "both as regards discussion and approval." CARDINAL Bea further said he trusts that "in Schema 17 (the Church and the modern world) there will be a firm though necessarily brief state ment" regarding race rela tions. He said he thought such a statement should be made "on a matter of so much im portance and that it should be in accordance with the solemn declaration of Pope John XXIII in his broadcast message September, 1962, a month be fore the opening of the coun cil," and also in accordance with the thoughts expressed on the matter in the council’s first message to the ’world in 1962, at the first session. Asked if a world senate of bishops might be established to assist the Pope in meeting ser ious world problems, and how the consequences of the concept of coilegiality might be enfor ced, the Cardinal said he pre ferred not to guess. He pointed out that Pope Paul VI has made various references to these matters in both his opening and closing speeches of the second session. "It is nevertheless difficult to fore see its form, perhaps also be cause the question is partially connected with the question of the reform and the 'aggiorna- mento’ of the Roman curia, which has also solemnly been announced by the Pope." Car dinal Bea stated that the form depends on what the Pope de sires and that the council can not limit the Pope. ASKED about the fate of the notion of married deacons, Car dinal Bea, said: "I do not be lieve that the council will take special decisions in the matter for the simple reason that the situation in various countries is very' different with the result that a uniform solution does not seem possible. It will therefore 'be necessary' simply to leave the way open for further de velopments." At some later period, he not ed, the question may be left to the discretion of the national episcopal conferences.
