PAGE 2 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1964 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. ICARY SANDERS Television, Radios Stereos SALES AND SERVICE 13759 Roswell Rd., N.E.

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.

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. termites an year’round callPTWW^ ©*& Ed Curtin Presents ONE HOUR “MODERNIZING” CLEANERS 3995 PEACHTREE ROAD IN BROOKHAVEN MARIST UNIFORMS A SPECIALTY 1 Hour Sotvice Every Day Til 3:00 P.M.

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?
