? I I ‘ENORMOUSLY SIGNIFICANT 9 THURSDAY, MAY 7. 1964 GEORGIA BULLETIN PAGE .3 MAJOR MAGAZINE 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 Prelate Asks 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. termites work|jpfe year'round 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. m.Terence Brian „ w KNOWS LIFE JSC insurance MR * : Suite 715 270 Pchtr.^Bldg.

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- Knights Outlaw Race Bar 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.

ST. JOSEPH’S: first 440 relay team of Bill Black, Bob Ortiz, Rick Jascomb, and Jim Rothschild ran a record time of 45.8 to win.

The mile Relay team of Bill Black, Jim Frazier, Larry Downing, and Mike Phillips ran a time of 3:43.8 to win the event while 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.
