Bishop Wright Lauds Role
Of Press During Council
Digest Gift To College
PITTSBURGH, P«. (RNS) —
The pren was an “enormous
ly significant" factor in the
mood , content and direc
tion of the Second Vatican
Council, a Roman Catholic bis
hop told the Religious
newswrlters Association at Its
annual meeting here,
Bishop John J, Wright of
Pittsburgh said the ex
tensive and Intensive coverage
of the press involved both ad
vantages and problems for the
Council.
said, was that the modern com
munications media made the
Council a kind of neighborhood
forum, "the boundaries of which
were the literate world,"
A disadvantage, he said, was
that the instantaneous cover
age projected an image of the
Council that often was "very
imprecise and bewildering,“
The speed and deadline press
ure of such coverage left
no place for reflection and
meditation, he said.
ONE OF THE advantages, he

ROME (NC)—Pope Paul VI
has declared publicly that he
had transferred Carlos Cardi
nal de Vasconcellos Mottafrom
the populous See of Sao Paolo,
Brazil, to the adjoining See of
Aparecida at the Cardinal’s own
request.
“THIS TRANSFER was not
imposed by any authority," the
Pope said in a speech at the
Brazilian college.
He said the Cardinal had re
quested the transfer because of
frail health.
He added: “In the lofty aware
ness of his responsibility, the
venerated Cardinal Motta pre
fers, with exemplary spirit of
sacrifice, to withdraw to the
shadow of the national sanc
tuary of Our Lady of Aparecida,
to which he has always dedi
cated his heart and his work,
with the resolution to advance
the great work of construction
and with the desire of infusing
new life into devotion to Mary.
CARDINAL Motta was al
ready Apostolic Administrator
of Aparecida.

The bishop said there were
actually “three Councils"
going on simultaneously in
Rome,
ONE WAS the 2,300 bishops
in St, Peter’s, which was a
“rather drabl affair,“henoted,
The "second Council" was
made up of the peritl (coun
cil experts) who sat in the
galleries and who had dreams
about what the bishops should
do and who were uninhibited by
"realism,"
The “thrid council" was
made up of the press panel and
writers.
"EVERY NOW and then, we
had the feeling that some wri
ters were there not so much to
report the news as to make the
news— to make interventions,"
the bishop commented,
He said the press was large
ly responsible for creating
the feeling of melancholy about
Council progress at last fall's
session.
THE PRESS was working
within the perspective of time
schedules and deadlines and
the bishops were mainly
concerned with the small print
of history "with some few
exceptions," he added.
But after considering the nec
essary differences of approach
and angles of interest, Bishop
Wright said he looked upon the
results of the press coverage
of the Council "as nothing short
of a modern miracle." He said
he had more reason to be grate
ful for it than to regret it,
IN A question and answer
period, the bishop denied that
the Council had become bogged
down on any area or that mel
ancholy had settled over it.

He said he agreed that there
were many tensions within
the Council but observed that
'This is the law of life and of
growth,"
The bishop said the delay in
discussing the chapters on re
ligious liberty and Jewish re
lations had resulted in greatly
strengthening those chapters
and “enormously improved"
the prospects of their pass
age.

‘POSITIVE APPROACH’
Holy See Names Observer
GENEVA (NC)--His appoint
ment as a permanent observer
of the Holy See to the U.N., in
the opinion of Msgr. Alberto
Giovannetti, is an implemen
tation of the positive approach
to the world organization ex
pressed in Pope John XXIIl's
encyclical Pacem in Terris and
reflected in the thinking of Pope
Paul VI.
Msgr. Giovannetti, a veteran
officer of the Vatican Secreta
riat of State, received word of
his New York appointment af
ter his arrival here as head of
a five-man delegation of the
Holy See to the U.N. Confer
ence on Trade and Develop
ment, held at the U.N. European
headquarters,
THE MONSIGNOR said he ex
pects to remain here until mid-
June and to return by July 15
for the 37th session of the U.N.
Economic and Social Council.
He will arrive in New York in
time for the opening of the U.N.
General Assembly in Septem
ber.
Questioned about the charac
ter of his New York mission,
he said he is to give his special
attention to problems of a so
cial and moral Import as they
arise within the framework of
U.N. activities.
“Obviously," he added, "the
strict neutrality always obser
ved by the Holy See of neces
sity means it must avoid being
Involved in matters of a pure
ly political nature. It is for
this reason that the Holy See
cannot accept full U.N. mem
bership.
'THE ENCYCLICAL Pacem
in Terris, however, has clear
ly expressed the Church's sen
timents in favor of all mea
sures meant to promote peace
and the welfare of nations un-

CANON CITY, Colo (NC)—
The Knights of Columbus in
Colorado have changed their
membership-voting procedure
which, opponents said, were
discriminatory against Ne
groes.
AT THEIR state convention
here (April 27), the knights
overturned the old rule where
by five negative votes would be
sufficient to reject prospective
members. Under new proce
dures, negative votes equaling
25% of the local membership
would be required to turn down
a candidate.
THE COLORADO state coun
cil is the first in the U.S. to
change the so-called “black
ball’* rule. A similar resolu
tion will be considered in Wis
consin in May and at the na
tional convention in New Or
leans in August, officials here
said.
Thomas T. Farley of Pueblo,
Colo., author of the resolution,
said the change is aimed direct
ly at ending the discrimination
against Negro candidates which
has brought embarrassment to
the organization.
CITING incidents in Chicago,
Cincinnati and Philadelphia, he
said the K. of C. nationally has
been unproportionately small
number of Negro members i
der an international authority.
The encyclical therefore gives
its support to the U.N. and ex
presses hope that the world or
ganization will be Increasingly
effective in the accomplishment
of its noble tasks.
’The encyclical considers
the (U.N.) Declaration on Hu
man Rights as a suitable ap
proach in the defense of the dig
nity of the human person. Con
sequently, the Holy See is in
terested greatly in the efforts
of the U.N., and above all its
Economi c and Social Council,
which deals with such vitally
Important matters as human
rights, population problems and
the development of the new na
tions,
AS POPE PAUL VI said when
he received U. N. Secretary
General U Thant last July, the
cooperation of so many nations
in a world organization whose
main object is the preservation
of peace, is fully in harmony
with the concepts of the Holy
See about the destinies of the
human race which are consonant
with the spiritual mission of the
4 B CHAMPS
Church in this world," the mon-
signor said.
He pointed out that the Holy
See has already manifested
these sentiments by the ap
pointment of representatives to
other U. N. bodies such as
UNESCO, the Food and Agri
cultural Organization (FAO),
THE High Commissariat for
Refugees and the International
Atomic Energy Commission.
ASKED WHETHER this con
cern of the Holy See also re
fers to the technical problems
arising in the meetings now in
progress here which deal with
international trade, Msgr. Gio
vannetti said:
“Obviously, commerce is not
an end in Itself. It is also evi
dent that some Important objec
tives may be pursued by the pro
motion of more equitable trade
relations which in turn further
the welfare of mankind. These
objectives, therefore, are fully
in line with the goals outlined
so eloquently in the social ency
clicals of the last.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (RNS)—
A Congressman charged here
that the move to amend the Con
stitution to allow prayer and
Bible-reading in public schools
is being instigated by “radical
right - wing extremist groups
who are trying to cloak their
political activities in religion."
Rep. B. F. Sisk (D. - Cal.),
the 25th member of Congress
to testify during House
Judiciary Committee hearings
on proposed "prayer amend
ment" resolutions — and the
first to speak against amending
the Constituiton — branded the
effort as an attack on the U. S.
Supreme Court.
HE LABELED Dr. Carl Mc-
Intire, president of the ultra-
c o nservatlve Inter
national Council of Christian
Churches, as being the chief
instigator of the amendment
drive.
"He has a big radio net
work", Rep. Sisk said, "and
I’ve found that wherever he has
stations you get a substantial
amount of support for the
Becker Amendment."
ST. PAUL, Minn. (RNS) —
The Catholic Digest, probably
the largest paid - circulation
Catholic magazine in the nation,
will be given to the College of
St. Thomas here, its founder,
the Rev. Louis A, Gales, an
nounced.
The gift will guarantee the
continuity of the magazine,
said Father Gales, who is 68.
THE REV. PAUL Bussard,
59, publisher and part owner
of the 27-year-old publication,
will remain as publisher.
The gift probably will also
benefit St. Thomas financially,
Father Gales said. He assumed
that with the college owning it, (
the magazine’s circulation 1
would increase.
Circulation in 1962 was
758,483. The only Catholic mag
azine that reaches more
readers presumable is the
Knights of Columbus free publi
cation, Columbia, said Father
Gales.
A spokesman for St. Thomas
said negotiations for the trans
fer are in the final stages.
Specific details remain to be
worked out and approved by
the college trustees and Arch
bishop Leo Blnz of the St. Paul
Archdiocese, he said.
FATHER GALES got the idea
for a Catholic Digest in 1933
from the success of Reader’s
Digest.
He tried to give the idea to
New York publishers of the
Catholic publications, Com
monweal, America and the
Catholic World. Each said it
would cost too much,
INSTEAD OF giving up the
idea, Father Gales sent out a
prospectus for the proposed
magazine to the mailing list
of the Catechetical Guild, Cath
olic education society, which
he founded in St. Paul.
He received 5,000 responses,
enough to prompt a printer to
print the magazine on speculat
ion.
Crowds View Pieta
NEW YORK (RNS) - World’s
fair visitors have been stream
ing past Michelangelo’s price
less statue of the Pieta at the
rate of 9,000 to 10,000 an hour,
a spokesman at the Vatican
Pavilion said.
Three moving belts carry
sightseers past the statue,;
which is protected • by a bullet
proof shield. Art students and
others who have special rea
sons for studying the statue for
a longer time period than that
permitted by the moving belt
may apply for special permis
sion to study the work of art
from a stationary vantage point.
ON THE first Sunday after
the Fair opened, Masses were
celebrated in the chapel of the
Vatican Pavilion for three
groups which had made special
arrangements for them.
