RECTORS AGREE
Basic Changes in Liturgy
Training for Seminaries
DETROIT (NC)—The liturgi
cal constitution enacted by the
ecumenical council requires "a
basic reorientation of the semi
nary curriculum and struc
ture,” seminary rectors from
all over the United States de
cided at their meeting here.
The nearly 150 major semi
nary rectors or their repre
sentatives declared that to com
ply with the constitution, every
seminary should have a profes
sionally trained professor of
liturgy. The liturgy, the rec
tors stated, plays a “vital and
basic role” in the spiritual
formation of seminarians.
THE RECTORS met in near
by Plymouth, Mich., to map
plans for bringing seminary
training into line with the lit
urgical constitution June 18-19
at the invitation of Archbishop
John F. Dearden of Detroit,
chairman of the U.S. Bishops’
Commission on the Liturgical
Apostolate. The resolutions the
priest-educators adopted at the
meeting were made public a
week later by Archbishop Dear
den.

After discussions of the rela
tionship between study of the
Church's worship and other
seminary courses, the group
emphasized the need for “In
tense collaboration between the
professors of the various disci
plines, especially between the
professor of liturgy and those
of Scripture and dogmatic theo
logy...This necessarily envi
sions a basic reorientation of
the seminary curriculum in
content and structure.”
IN LINE with the liturgical
constitution’s stress on the need
for a thorough liturgical forma
tion in seminaries, in addition
to formal liturgy courses, the
rectors said in a resolution:
“...Emphasis must be given
to the central impact of the
celebration of the Eucharistic
mysteries in community, with
growing penetration of the word
of God, encounter with God re
vealing Himself to men, unity
with one another within the
seminary, the diocese, the
Church, and unity with those
outside the Church.
“Every means should be em
ployed, and every member of
the seminary community in
volved. To forward this litur
gical growth, advantage should
be taken of the freedom permit
ted by the Church for fruitful
experimentation.”
Holding that the academic
preparation necessary for sem
inary professors will require
several years, the seminary
administrators urged that In the
meantime seminary instructors
take part In coming catecheti
cal, Biblical and pastoral Insti
tutes. In this connection they
stressed in particular the value
of the annual national Liturgi
cal Week, to be held In St.
Louis next Aug. 24-27.
TENTATIVE plans were also
made for a one-week specializ
ed institute to help professors
prepare courses in “the theo
logical, spiritual, and pastoral
interpretation of the rites in
the light of their historical
development and of compara
tive liturgy.”
While most of the discus
sions during the rectors’ two-
day meeting centered on the
work of the major seminaries
—the four to six years of ad
vanced studies immediately
preceding ordination to the
priesthood—the rectors also
emphasized the need for ac
centing the liturgy in the min
or, or junior, seminaries.
“We recommend,” they said,
"that by intense and authentic
liturgical life and by frequent
conferences, minor seminar
ians also be brought to deeper
understanding of the liturgy and
profound participation in it.

PATRIARCH PAUL II CHEIKHO of Babylon is greeted
upon his arrival in Boston by Richard Cardinal Cushing.
The 57-year-old prelate is spiritual leader of Iraq's 190,000

the Government of Iraq leaves Christians “completely free
to practice their religion" and that the Church enjoys cor

SOLEMN CEREMONIES
Pope Consecrates
Five New Bishops
VATICAN CITY (RNS)—Pope
Paul VI consecrated five new
bishops in solemn traditional
ceremonies in St. Peter's
Basilica before a large con
gregation that included eight
cardinals, representatives of
the diplomatic corps, and
high Vatican officials.
Consecrated were:
Bishop Jan Willebrands, sec
retary of the Vatican Sec
retariat for Promoting Chris
tian Unity, named Titular Bi
shop of Mauriana.
Bishop Angelo Palmas,
Apostolic Delegate to South
Vietnam and Cambodia.
Bishop Giovanni Fallani, head
of the Pontifical Central Com
mission for Sacred Art in Italy
and president of the Permanent
Committee for the Upkeep of
Historical and Artistic Monu
ments of the Vatican.
Bishop Ernesto Camagni,
consuitor to the Sacred Con-
sistorial Congregation and
Chancellor of Apostolic Briefs
in the Secretariat of State.
And Bishop Piere Salmon,
O.S.B., consuitor to the Ponti
fical Commission of Bible
Studies and to the Sacred Con
gregation of Religious.
AT THE conclusion of the
rites, Pope Paul delivered a
talk in which he stressed the
“dignity, aim and nature” of
the episcopate.
In dwelling upon the various
aspects of the episcopal office,
the pontiff said that a bishop,
“before being a minister of the
faith, pastor of the faithful, and
a master in the community, is
a man called among other men
as 'the chosen one, the pre
ferred one/ ”
NOTING the sacramental na
ture of episcopal consecration,
the Pope said it represents a
"fountain of grace, a divine
gift of spiritual wealth and of
superior sanctification.”
Pope Paul then spoke to each
of the new bishops and extend
ed his best wishes.
JAPAN MISSION
BY BILL RING
(N. C. W. C. NEWSSERCICE)
WASHINGTON (NC)—There’s
a fresh grave mount in Mount
Olivet Cemetery here. Beneath
it lies all that's mortal of
Mary T. Waggaman — and a
treasure of memories.
Mary T. Waggaman was 92
when she died (June 21) at
nearby Carroll Manor, arch
diocesan home for the aged.
She must have had a terrific in
fluence on folks who today are
moving into that class known as
the older generation.
A HALF century and more
ago, Mary T. Waggaman wrote
stories which appeared regu
larly in Ave Maria magazine.
They were homey stories which
appealed specially to children
and packed a moral wallop.
This writer can remember
that Ave Marla came to our
house on Thursdays. My moth
er used to read aloud to my
brothers, my sister and me the
Mary T. Waggaman stories. We
used to bring in playmates for
the Thursday afternoon ses
sions and my mother’s audience
sometimes numbered a dozen
or more children.
That was about the time when
this writer was being introduc
ed to American history in grade
school and somehow the name
of Mary T. Waggaman fell in
place with names like Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay, George
Custer, Kit Carson, William
Cody and a host of others—and
the name of Mary T. Waggaman
stuck all through the years.
MULTIPLY those Mary T.
Waggaman story reading ses
sions at our house by hundreds,
perhaps thousands, and the an
swer should be some kind of
evidence of the great impact
she had on what’s now the old-
Priest Has Hell
In His Parish
Kumamoto, Japan ••“Next
stop, Helll” shouted the bus
conductor. “And he wasn't jok
ing,” explained Father Patrick
Diamond, S.S.C., pastor of the
parish of Our Lady of Japan
here.
”We were on a bus headed
for Mt. Aso National Park,”
continued the Columban mis
sionary. “We had just finished
a tortuous uphill, downhill
thrill-ride with numerous hair-
pin turns and had arrived at
the entrance of Hell, the popu
lar name given to this hot
spring resort which lies in the
shadow of the active valcano,
Mt. Aso. The air is pungent
with the smell of sulphur; boil
ing sulphurous water bubbles
up from -crevices in the ground
in hundreds of places.
"AS WE were getting off the
bus, the conductor said, 'See
and enjoy yourselves in Helll”'
Said the Columban mis
sionary, In whose parish limits
the popular resort is situated,
“Not too much Imagination was
required to give this place the
name 'Hell.' The nice thing
about visiting this particular
Hell Is that you are free to
leave it any time you wishl”
PRIEST REPLIES:
Oh, That Catholic Liberal Press!!
BY REV. WILLIAM J. SMITH,
S. J.
in a recent issue of Our Sun
day Visitor, the largest chain
Catholic paper in the country, a
fellow Jesuit writing a column
remarked, "The Catholic Press
of our country Is very much in
the hands of men who call
themselves liberals.” It is al
most Impossible, he contended,
for someone of conservative
view to get a decent hearing in
the Catholic Press.
The “liberals” control the
Catholic Press. But priest edi
tors make up a very, very small
minority of the56,000priests in
the country. It Is assumed that
the majority of the clergy in
the country are conservative.
“It may well be,” concludes the
S.V. columnist, “that the domi
nant liberal tone of our Catho
lic Press is that of a quite
unrepresentative minority.”
THE COLUMNIST goes on to
say, “And yet, those Catholic
editorial writers frequently
identify their publications with
extreme partisan positions and
pour their scorn on fellow Cath
olics who differ.” (Mention
three such publications I)
I don’t see all the Catholic
papers of the country, but a
solid sampling of them comes
across my desk. I have failed
to note any extreme partisan
positions as a general rule, and
I certainly don’t find one half
the scorn, snide Innuendos or
subtle discrediting of fellow
Catholics by the so-called lib
eral editors as occurs so often
in the pieces this fellow-Jesuit
of mine writes on social sub
jects.
His conservative pleadings
and his castigation of the fel
low Catholic whom he consid
ers to be a “liberal” is as
boring an example of right-
wing journalism as one might
find any place throughout the
land.
IN THIS article he quotes
Pius XI as follows; “Thosewho
make a practice of spreading
dissension among Catholics as
sume a terrible responsibility
before God and the Church.”
This is meant to be a condem
nation of “liberal” Catholic
editors. Why are the so-call
ed “liberals’* the sole cause
of dissension among Catholics?
Nurse Is Named
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (NC)
-—Sister Delphlne of the St.
Margaret Hospital School of
Nursing In Montgomery, Ala.,
has been re-elected secretary
of the American Nurses As
sociation at that group's na
tional convention here (June 19),
On what principle is the con
servative who makes a habit
of Insinuating that anyone who
disagrees with him is think
ing contrary the Church exempt
from the papal censure? Does a
“holier than thou” attitude lend
some new sort of sanction to
the conservative viewpoint?
Unfortunately, the editor of
the Sunday'Visitor in the edi
tion where the article referred
to appeared, put the author In
a very embarrassing position.
The movie critic of the Sun
day Visitor chain, John Fitz
gerald, evidently had commen
ted on two movies and made
some remarks about the anti
communist organization call
ed The Cardinal Minds zenty
Foundation. I had not read Mr.
Fitzgerald's column, so all that
I could gather about the con
troversy was from the Letters
to the Editor page in the Sun
day Visitor.
In this particular edition
there were eleven letters. This
made up the total contributions
from the readers. All eleven
letters took Mr, Fitzgerald to
task in no uncertain terms.
Nothing in his defense was
printed. Perhaps no contrary
correspondence was received
by the editor. Perphas no mall
on any other subject and ar
rived. But certainly no antl
er generation.
But Mary T. Waggaman didn't
confine her writing only to Ave
Maria. She wrote for other
national magazines, both Cath
olic and secular.
She was born in Washington
and was educated at George
town Visitation Academy. As a
young woman she went to work
for the U.S. Labor Department.
She was secretary’ to her broth
er-in-law, Charles P. Neill,
who was Commissioner of Lab
or under Presdient Theodore
Roosevelt, before there was a
Department of Labor. Later she
became a writer and editor of
countless Labor Department
publications, and was associate
editor of the department's Mon
thly Labor Review when she re
tired from Government service
in 1942.
Miss Waggaman was a par
ishioner of St. Matthew’s cathe
dral and longtime active in
Catholic welfare work. Requiem
Mass in the chapel at Carroll
Manor (June 24) preceded her
burial in Mount Olivet Ceme
tery. She is survived by a sis
ter and a brother—and a treas
ure of memories.

Communist conservative could
compalin that his side of the
question was crowded out, with
no available space for an ef
fective rebuttal. Eleven to noth
ing is a pretty good proportion
in someone’s favor, no matter
what the issue might be. The
’liberal” press could harldy
do better,
IT IS about time Catholics
either define much more de
finitely what they men by Catho
lic conservative and Catholic
liberal or cease using the
terms. I would be pleased to
hear some one of my journalis
tic friends tell me what they
mean by the term Catholic
"liberal” and just what is wrong
with being a Catholic liberal,
as defined.
1 would also like to knw why,
if the current Catholic press
is so overwhelmingly
'liberal,” the bishops and the
priests of the country do not
rise up in holy horror and de
mand supression of such views.
Or is it that the Catholic
press in actuality, with some
exceptions, is carrying out the
mandates of modem Popes in
regard to social and spiritual
issues; that in reality it is the
so-called "majority of non
liberal priest*” who have not
yet caught up with the Vatican?
