Underway On Birth Control Pope Paul, concluding his comments on his own pontifi cate, referred to current “formidable problems," and singled out one: “The problem everybody is talking about— that is, of so-called birth con trol; that is to say of popula tion growth on the one hand and of family morality on the other." Pope Paul continued: “It is an extremely serious problem. It touches the source of human life. It touches senti ments and concerns which are closest to the experience of man and woman. It is an extrem ely complex and delicate prob lem. “The Church recognizes its manifold aspects, that is to say the multiple spheres of compe tence. Among these, that of the spouses is certainly preeminent —their liberty, their con science, their love and their duty. “But the Church must also affirm her part, that is, God's law, which she interprets, teaches, promotes and defends. And the Church will have to proclaim this law of God in the light of scientific, social and psychological truths which in recent times have had new and very extensive study and docu mentation. VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope Paul VI, discussing the role of St. Peter in the Church at his weekly general audience, de clared that “where Peter is, and with him the Church, there is Christ," Pope Paul told thousands of pilgrims and visitors in St. Peter's basilica 0 une 17) that “the question comas easily to the mind of everyone: who is Peter?” “THE answer seems easy— he was a Disciple, the first called an Apostle, with the other 11," the Pope said. ’The answer becomes complicated when one remembers the images and metaphors which the Lord used to make us un derstand what this chosen one of His was to be and to be come." The Pope contrasted the nature of a rock, to which Christ likened St. Peter, with the character of Peter himself. What does it mean," he asked, “when applied to a man simple and sensitive, we might say voluble and weak? A stone is hard, it is strong and stable. "A word about the Village is in order. Months of planning, by our Department of Welfare, our lay advisory board at St. Joseph’s, architects and social work specialists have created a dream that must soon be a reality. We have about 50 boys (age 6 -14) in the present, old Home up at Washington, Ga. Although the townspeople there have always been most coopera tive, there are many advantages to an Atlanta location: medical, educational and social. It is also planned to reunite families by bringing back our dependent girls (about 25) from Savannah. Ac cordingly, an attractive and practical Village — with cottages for groups of eight to ten — has been planned. 'This is the beginning of a series of well-planned centers for those in, need: dependent children, the aged, other groups suffering from the inequalities of today's society. It was planned to announce the full plan for the Village, and the details, late this year. ‘Two events, — one bad, one good, — changed the timing of the announcement. Last January, after the building of the Village had been approved by the Fulton Co. Planning Commission and State Dept, of Family and Child Service, our application for a special use permit was approved by the Zoning Commission but it was suddenly denied bv the Board of Aldermen. This required getting a new site. But the other event — the benefit Fourth of July Ball - game is good news. U.S. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, adopted on July 4th, 1776, is commemorated in this stained glass win dow' in Queen of Peace Church, North Arlington, N. J. “It will benecessary to look carefully and squarely at this theoretical as well as practical development of the question. It is lasting, it is the basic of the edifice and it supports all of it. . .and the edifice is called the Church: ‘On this rock I shall build My Church.’ ” POPE PAUL singled out two other symbols chosen by Christ to illustrate the role of St. Peter, the keys and the fisher man’s net. He said these sym bols chosen by Christ are “full of profound significance." ’The keys, for instance, that is to say power, were given to Peter alone among all the Apostles to signify a fullness of faculties which are exercised not only on earth but even in heaven," he said. As for the net, the activity of fishing “assumes the im mense and majestic signi ficance of the historical and universal mission entrusted to that simple fisherman of the Lake of Genesareth," he de clared. THE POPE said all these images, “typical of Biblical and particularly of the evangelical language, contain great and pre cise significance. NOT TO BE outdone by eighth graders and high school seniors, the Kindergarten Class of St. Mary’s, Rome held their own grad uation, at which they were presented with promotion certificates to the first grade by the pastor, Fr.

VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope Paul VI revealed that the Church is in the process of a major re- evaluation of the question of birth control and said that for the present, at least, the pro nouncements on the question by Pope Pius XII must be consid ered valid and binding for all Catholics. Pope Paul spoke out (June 23) with the apparent intention of ending the current controversy over the possible legitimacy for using certain recently dis covered hormone pills which can prevent conception. He did not refer explicitly to the “pill." But he said that the Church is being aided by “many eminent scholars” in an inten sive study of the question, and that its findings will be reveal ed as soon as possible. Pending a further pronouncement, he said, nobody is to “take it upon himself to speak in terms dif ferent from the norms" laid down by Pius XIL PAUL VI'S statement came in the course of a 5,000-word dis course before a group of cardi nals on the eve of the feast of St. John Baptist, his baptismal patron. He took the occasion to review the first year of his pontificate. In the course of his talk he also revealed that the Catholic Church is returning to the Or thodox Church of Greece relics of St. Andrew the Apostle which were looted by Latin Crusaders during the sack of Constanti nople in 1204. The Pope spoke warmly of his meeting last January with Ecumenical Patriarch Athena- goras I of Constantinople spiri tual leader of the Orthodox world. He also referred to the forth coming third session of the ecu menical council, and the inter national Eucharistic congress to be held in India next fall. And he talked about world peace. But the bombshell of his dis course was the reference to the birth control controversy and his promise to reveal the find ings of the current investigation as quickly as possible. For the time being, at least, he demand ed adherence to the findings of Pius XII, whom he had served as a collaborator for many years. Pope Pius XH's detailed pro nouncements on birth control reaffirmed the Church’s con demnation of active interfer ence with the procreative pur pose of the marital act. He al so reiterated the illegality of direct sterilization—any delib erate attempt, either as an end or a means, to make procrea tion impossible. Pius XII did not, however, condemn every act that would bring about sterilization as an undesired effect, such as the surgical removal of diseased ovaries. SHORTLY before he died in 1958, Pope Pius dealt with mor al problems connected with pills that prevent ovulation. He de scribed this effect as “tempo rary sterility.” This is a judg ment which medical and moral specialists have been closely examining and disputing. Pius stated that the woman who takes such a pill as a nec essary remedy for an unhealthy uterus or organism, rather than to prevent conception, “pro vokes indirect sterilization, which is permitted according to the general principles govern ing acts with a double effect." This traditional distinction of the “double effect" refers to acts using legitimate means and having a licit goal, but which could have a secondary result which would in itself be illicit.
