The Pope spoke in French (May 9) to members of a group called the International Discus sion of the Problems of Tech nical Assistance and the For mation of Leaders in Develop ing Countries, THE PONTIFF said that "the problem of technical assistance cannot be solved by a simple addition od economic quantities. It concerns the whole man and particularly his soul, his in telligence and his heart." Stressing the need for con cern with human spiritual pro gress, the Pope said that "the Pope Asks Reconciliation Between Church, Artists VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope Paul has told a group of leading Italian artists that it it is nec essary today "to reestablish friendship between the Church and the artists," The Pope laid the blame for the distance between much of modern art and the Church on the shoulders both of artists and of the Church in a discourse he delivered in the Sistine chapel on AscensionThursday (May 7), after celebrating Mass for the Italian "Artists' Mass" asso ciation. AS THE Pope celebrated Mass beneath the great fresco of Michelangelo's Last Judg ment, a choir composed of members of the Artists' Mass movement sang motets of Pale strina, one of the greatest of all composers of Church music. Well-known Italian actors read the Epistle, Gospel and a special prayer for artists in Italian. The Pope told the assembled artists that "Our ministry has need of your help because, as you know, our ministry is that of preaching and of making ac cessible and understandable, and even stirring, the world of the spirit, the invisible world of God the unexpressible. And in this operation of expressing the invisible world in accessible and understandable formulas you are the masters. It is your profession and your art is pre cisely that snatching of the treasures of heaven and of the spirit and clothing them in un derstandable words, colors and forms," THE OPE stressed the need for reestablishing friendship between the Church and artists although he added, "Ithas never truly been broken." He said that "We have always been friends. But as happens among relatives, so it happens among friends, relations are some times worsened. We have not broken but we have strained our friendship. May 1 say it? You have somewhat abandoned the friendship, you have gone far afield to drink at other foun tains." The Pope told artists that "we carry a certain wound in our heart when we see persons in tent on certain artistic expres sions which offend us." Pointing out that some artists separate art from life, the Pope said they "sometimes forget the fun damental rule of your conse cration to expression," THE RESULT is, the Pope said, "the language of babel and confusion." But on the other hand, he said, the Church has contributed to the rupture of relations with the artistic world because ' we have imposed as a first rule that of imitation, on you who are creators, vivacious people and stimulators of a thousand ideas and of a thou sand innovations." The Pope said the demand for Imitation has placed "a leaden cap" on the heads of artists and he added, "Pardon us I" He said artists have grown apart because ' Nve did not explain our side to you, we have not led you to the secret cell in which the mysteries of God make man's heart dance with joy, hope, happiness and rapture. THE TENDENCY to adhere to traditional forms left the artist "incapable of finding his free voice," the Pope said, "and we have felt the dissatisfaction with this form of artistic expres sion. And—we are making a complete confession of faults at least here—we have treated you worse. We have sought for oleographs (imitation oil paint ings) and works of art of little artistic or real value, perhaps because we have not had the means of understanding great things, beautiful things, new things, things worthy of being seen, and we have walked in chains—and it is worse for us— to the point where art and beau ty and the worship of God have been badly served.” Instead of the distance be tween the Church and art, the Pope said that today "we must return to being allies. We must ask of you all the possibilities such the Lord has given you and it must be left up to you to sing the free and powerful song of which you are capable." Ar tists in turn can draw from Church teachings the inspira tion they need as well as the graces and the "gift of ton- ques" ("charism") of art. THE POPE cited portions of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy, which make reference to the uses of sacred art and music, and "which constitute a pact of reconciliation and rebirth for religious art in the bosm of the Catholic Church." Pope Paul blessed the work of the movement of the Artists' Mass, calling it an "experiment in the artistic life which has al ready shown that between the priest and the artist there is a profound sympathy and capacity for marvelous agreement." ON A practical level, the Pope said the Christian artist needs to be instructed in matters of the Faith to know thoroughly what he is working with. At the same time, the artist also needs technical instruction so as to be worthy of his subjects. Lastly, the Pope said the artist has need "of the indispensable characteristic of the religious moment, that is sincerity," so that his work will be an expres sion "from the depth of the soul." IN BRITAIN twofold movement between the nation which gives help and the one which receives it, and vice versa, the sending of experts and the receiving of students on scholarships, cannot be re duced to a simple mechanical process. - " THE POPE said that such ex changes are "a dialpgue be tween different cultures and civilizations, a dialogue center ed on man and not on exchanged goods or technology." "Development does not mean to run the risk of rendering the people who benefit from it ma terialistic. It is, on the con trary, the giving of means for making themselves whole, for elevating themselves and there fore for spiritualizing themsel ves." POPE PAUL warned those who seek to help developing na tions to avoid the errors of the European industrial revolution, which saw great technical and material progress but not a cor responding moral progress. He continued: "The young and promising peoples reject materialism. What a wonderful future would open up before them if the ex perts who are being sent to them were not only technicians but al so leaders and educators, and if the spiritual quality of the teaching which is imparted in Europe to the future elite of the- countries being helped were such as to guarantee a develop ment which would not be only material and technical, but hu man as well.’! THE POPE noted that while some Latin countries are slow in giving technical assistance, they might be able to contri bute by their capacity for "the human and spiritual value which so well conforms to the tradi tions of our civilization. Those responsible for technical as sistance might become valuable instruments for the transmis sion of the heritage ‘of ancient Christianities to the people who have now appeared on the inter national scene."

(NC)-- With a special message and apostolic blessing from Pope Paul VI, the Notre Dame Mem orial Library was dedicated here in the presence of three princes of the Church and pres idents and delegates of 200 colleges and universities. Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean of the College of Cardi nals, celebrated a Solemn Pon tifical Mass in the morning and delivered the papal message during an afternoon academic convocation. Both events took place under sunlit skies in front of the 13-story library. Form ing a backdrop for the outdoor ceremonies was the mammoth library mural, "Word ofLife," Bishops’ Birth Pill Ban Brings Mixed Reactions SERVING THE CHl'RCH in Austria, KATHPRESS (Catholic Press Agency) is headed by Dr. Richard Barta (above) editor-in-chief, who is also press representative of Cardinal Koenig. The agency’s members comprise the Catholic publishing houses of Austria and the Conference of Bishops. LONDON (NC)--Reaction to a joint statement by the Bishops of England and Wales condemn ing the use of the contraceptive pill (oral progesterone) as mor ally wrong ranges from loyalty and relief to outright antagon ism. The country’s three leading Catholic newspapers gave full coverage to the statement (is sued May 8) but seemed less excited about it than some crit ics. The Catholic Herald de scribed it as "a fresh if aus tere guarantee to those who are sorely pressed by the problems of family life in modern condi tions." The Universe and Tab let both printed the statement in full, but neither gave the story top billing, as did some of the national daily press. The statement was released late in th e week, just short of dead line for the Catholic press. Reaction was expected to be expanded in subsequent issues. Most outspoken Catholic com ment so far has come from Count Michael de la Bedoyere, one of Britain's best known Catholic journalists and think ers, who for many years was editor of the Catholic Herald and now publishes a newslet ter called Search. The first major skirmishes into the ar gument were published in a Search interview with Archbis hop Thomas Roberts, S. J„ formerly of Bombay, India, and now resident in the Jesuit Farm Street headquarters here. The Archbishop had questioned the traditonal stand of the Church on the use of the contracep tive pill. IN AN article in the London. Evening Standard, Count de la Bedoyere said: ‘The very neg ative statement of Archbishop Heenan about birth control (re ferring to the joint statement of ' the Bishops released by Archbishop John C. Heenan of London) will cause dismay among the more progressive and informed Catholics...It is well known that in this country many good Catholics have felt bound by the circumstances of their life to limit their families and to do so by some form of contraception, because they fear that the safe period may not always be safe (referring to use of the so-cal ed "rhythm method" of family limitation, accepted by church' theologians as moral). We have to take ac count also of mothers whose periods are not stable yet can not in the circumstances of their life have more children." 'These and many other points that are raised by the Catholic Church’s traditional teaching," the Count said, "suggest to me and many other Catholics that the Church should welcome and work for a change in the traditional law rather than put the shutters up as decisively as our Bishops have just done ...Many people put great hope in the contraceptive pills." COUNT DE LA Bedoyere claimed he highlighted the growing feeling among Catho lics here for some relaxation of the Church's firm stand. Catholics are becoming highly educated, and he charged the Bishops with "still living in the era when the mass of Cath olics were immigrants or de scendants of immigrants from Ireland and other countries with relatively little education." Further criticism cane from Auberon Waugh, columnist for the Catholic Herald, who said, "the general attitude of mind among Catholics of my own generation, particularly the married ones, is that thl* is a mess which the theologians have got us into and one from which they must get us out... If theologians continue to in sist on the strictest interpre tation of the natural law, we will soon be left like the Jews with 'liberal' and 'orthodox' factions inside the Church." ANOTHER NOTED Catholic, .however, Professor Michael Fogarty, who has been closely connected with the problem for many years as a leading mem ber and chairman of the Cath olic Social Guild, told the press he totally agrees with the Bis hops’ statement, adding he be lieves it would be permissible for Catholics to use a pill to make the safe period safer, but not "to ensure conception was impossible at any given time." A similar position was ex pressed in the Bishops’ state ment, citing the development of new chemicals for use in de termining more accurately the point of ovulation, thus render ing the rhythm method of fami ly limitation more accurate. Some scientists claim such a pill will be on the market with in a few years at most. THE CATHOLJC Herald in its comment (May 9) said: 'The Bishops’ statement«..comes as an invaluable counterbalance at this moment. It reassures us that the Church stands firm in her Christ-given authority. It is compassionate...it is in the nature of a call to arms." The Herald said the Bishops "leave the door wide open to the adventure of development in doctrine but reassert proudly and confidently what perhaps we might call the integrity of God —who is not mocked and does not seek to mock us.„.There are still many questions to answer in this matter of family limita tion and the advances of modem science in regard to it."

RECALLING HIS 1960 visit to Notre Dame, Pope Paul said the new library will "serve as a valuable instrument in the pur suit of truth and the defense and development of faith." Catholic professors and stu dents have the sacred duty "to follow the Church’s authentic magisterium in matters of faith and morals, or in fields inti mately connected with either of these," the Pope said, "Nor will this prove to be a detri ment to science or to free dom; rather will it be a safe guard for the supreme human and Christian values, and exalt the prestige of the Catholic universities." PRESIDENT Grayson Kirk oi Columbia University, in the major convocation address, said that "because the greatest days of American higher educa tion still lie ahead, the great est days for America are also in the future." He described as "shallow" those "who see in our contem porary world only the portents of despair, decay and doom." '^CHANGE IS not to be feared but to be grasped and used, for therein lies the only hope of our progress," he said. Cardinal Meyer in his sermon said the university world should be "an open community, a com mon enterprise, in which men of many fields and specialties serch honestly for truth and confidently share their views."
