4 PACE 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1964 TEXAS BISHOP FIRST EASTER Council Benefit Seen In Delay On Jews, Liberty CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 of power" with the pope at the top, the bishops and priests in the middle, and the laymen on the bottom. Rather, he said, the new concept is that of "a series of concentric circles with Christ at the center," and radiating out from Him the bi shops, priests and laymen. He called this a "much more fruit ful basis" for Catholic action and the lay apostolate. THE BISHOP said the coun cil is viewing laymen as "the people of God" who are called "to bear witness to God in the world." On the subject of ecumenism, he said that one of the basic principles of the ecumenical movement is that "we must recognize the action of the Holy Spirit wherever He acts," in cluding among non - Catholics and their churches. HE SAID the oMginaljyersion of the ecumenism schema made an "odious"distinction between Protestants and Orthodox, in that it referred to the Orthodox bodies as "churches" but the Protestant dominations only as "communities." Bishop Leven recalled that it was during the discussion on ecumenism that he took the council floor to say that "some of the dangers being portrayed by bishops who had never seen a Protestant were exag gerated." REPLYING TO questions, the Bishop said he does not see how the council can finish in one more session if it is to deal with all the matters thit still remain before it. Among these, he noted, are the status of Catholic schools and seminaries, the lay apostolate, religious orders and the missions. Asked about reports describ ing Pope Paul VI as a "Hamlet" unable to make up his mind between conflicting points of view, or a "Lincoln" who wants reform but can’t carry it through, he said there is "no question" but that Pope Paul wants aggiornamento — up dating—for the Church and will get it. 'THE COUNCIL is going to^ achieve reforms," Bishop’ • Leven said. We’re just instruments in the hands of the Holy Spirit, and willynilly we’re going to get the job done." TERT1ARIES of Third Order at Sacred Heart Church. FOR TERTIARIES Order Of Mary Recollection Day The fourth annual Day of Re collection for the tertiaries of the Third Order of Mary was held March 15 at the Sacred Heart Church, Atlanta. The Sacred Heart Fraternity was host and Saint Francis Xavier Fraternity, Brunswick, Saint John Fraternity, Hape- ville, and Saint Joseph Frater nity, Marietta, participated.. There were one hundred and eight present. Recitation of the Rosary, led by Miss lone Ward, Assistant Rectress of the Sacred Heart Fraternity, opened the ex ercises. After the Rosary, Mrs. W. W. Greene, Rectress of the Sacred Heart Fraternity, wel comed those attending and pre sented Reverend Charles Brogley, S. M., of the staff at Marist High School, who con ducted the conferences. The theme of these conferences was "you and God." FOLLOWING the first con ference was the Way of the Cross conducted by Mr. John Hamson. Mr. Horace Bohan non acted as crucifer and the acolytes were Mr. Wiley Maloof and Mr. John Reynolds. Private devotions and con fessions were made between the second and third conferences. Pope Has Heavy Schedule Of Holy A^feek Ceremonies CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 church of the day which is the Basilica of The Holy Cross. However this church is small and could not accommodate the crowds. Therefore, Popes in recent years have chosen to ob serve Good Friday in the larg er churches of Rome. THAT NIGHT Pope Paul drove at 9:30 p.m. to the Coliseum to take part in the traditional way of the cross which pil grims in Rome perform each year. The Pope, surrounded by thousands of pilgrims carrying candles, made the first three stations inside the ancient Fla vian Amphitheatre which had been the site of many pagan Roman games and gladiatorial fights. AGAIN THE ceremonies were captured by the television cameras of Eurovision. Candle light and television lights fill ed the immense ruins, shadow ing the tiers of arches from which 2,000 years ago Romans had watched the savage pursuit of pleasure. After the first three stations, the Pope crossed the street in front of the Arch of Constantine and took his place at a tempo rary altar erected on the Pala tine Hill site of the palace c of the Roman emperors. There he followed devotedly the pray ers for the remaining stations. THE GREY columns of the background formed a fascinat ing pattern of light and dark. They are all that remains of what once was the proud temple of Venus and of Rome. On Easter Sunday the Pope is to celebrate Mass in a small parish church at 7 a.m. The church is located in the Roman suburb of Settecamini. After speaking briefly to the people and blessing the crowd, the Pope is to return to the Vati can in time to celebrate a sec ond Mass on the steps of St. Peter's. After finishing the Low Mass, the Pope is to go back in to the Vatican and appear on the main balcony of St. Peter’s, high above the crowds in the huge square. The balcony is decorated with a large banner bearing his coat of arms, and the Pope takes his place on a specially-erected throne, to de liver his Easter message, and give his blessing "Urbi et Orbi," that is, his blessing to the City of Rome and to the world.

Another speaker, Sen. Eugene McCarthy (D.-Minn.) said that emphasis should be placed in developing the quality — rather than the quantity — of Catholic laymen .n public life. ’The role of the Christian is that of a leavening agent," the senator said. "He is to make a difference in the society in which he lives. He is to be a full time Christian, not just a Sunday Christian." Mr. Scharper also suggested a "system for exchange of fact and opinion between clergy and laity -- something most dioceses do not have now." As laymen are given more im portant church roles, he added, they should approach the clergy with "humility and with the spirit of a servant." Devotions In Honor Of St. Anthony AT ST.

STATIONS OF CROSS Pilgrims At Site Of Christ’s Trial Greater Lay Parish Role JERUSALEM, Jordan (NC) - Thousands of pilgrims have gathered here to begin the Good Friday Stations of the Cross at the spot where Jesus was condemned to death by Pontius Pilate. In present - day Jerusalem there are still traces to be found of the Fortress Antonia, generally accepted as the place where the trial of Jesus un folded. The fortress was de stroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D., and its site is now taken by a narrow road that enters the city through St. Stephen’s gate and is known as the Via Dolorosa. ABOUT 20 yards to the side of the road is a ramp leading to a platform of natural rock now taken up by a government secondary school. This plat form is believed to be the Praetorium, where Christ was questioned privately by Pilate. It is in the school yard that pilgrims still gather at 11:30 on Good Friday morning to begin the Way of the Cross. Across the road at a lowet level stands the Franciscan Biblical School and to its left the famous Ecce Homo Con vent of the Sisters of Sion. BY ENTERING the convent and descending the steps to a level five feet below the pre sent street, it is possible to see and walk upon a large portion of the original pavement of the courtyard. The blocks are of hard stone, about three feet square and a foot thick. ?**'■ MOTOR HOTEL SAN FRANCISCO (RNS) - Administration of parish funds was cited by a noted editor here as one of the major re sponsibilities Roman Catholic laymen should be given as they assume a greater role in Church life. Speaking at a University of San Francisco symposium on ’The Role of the Emerging Layman," Philip Scharper, edi tor of Sheed and Ward of New York, Catholic book publishers, said; ‘THERE is absolutely no reason why laymen should not be entrusted with the temporal affairs of the Church. There are no degrees of citizenship in the Kingdom, but only dif ference in roles. "A layman should not be looked upon as a ’subject,’but as a full member of the people of God." Generally agreeing with his remarks was Father Godfrey Diekmann of St. John’s Seminary, Collegeville, Minn., who said the Church is not an institution but "a people of God" and that as such It is "the body of Christ which shares in God’s grace." The Benedictine priest, a liturgical expert and consultant to the Second Vatican Council, said the Church aims to make the "personal encounter with Christ more than an abstract concept." HE OBSERVED that the Church is experiencing a spir itual renewal because of the College Housing WASHINGTON, D.C.
