AT CASTELKAISDOLFO Pontiff Leaves Rome For Summer Months Establishment of a com mission on the Sacred Liturgy in each diocese :is prescribed in the Constitution on Sacred Liturgy decreed by the Vatican Council on December 4, 1963, The commission is charged with the promotion of the liturgical apostolate throughout the arch diocese. This will entail the set ting of policies, under the au thority of the archbishop, for liturgical participation in parishes. Programs of infor mation and education, aimed at deepening the understanding of liturgy, will be an important concern of the commission’s work. At the first meeting of the re - constituted commission on July 27, two such programs will be discussed. It is hoped that a sizable number of the faithful of the archdiocese will attend the national Liturgical Convention in St. Louis from A gust 24 to 27. Also Atlanta Liturgical Week, to be held in October under the sponsorship of th# Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Men, will be offerred the full support of the Liturgy Commission.

The Cardinal’s letter was addressed to Houari Souiah, head of the delegation that re quested the audience with the Pope. It said in part: "As is well known, the Holy See, by its very nature, cannot participate in un dertakings of a politico-mili tary nature, no more than it could engage in undertakings that pursue ends of an ideolo gical propaganda which is not in conformity with the doctri nal principles that it holds wor thy and good for the whole of humanity. "ON THE contrary, the Holy See has approved efforts which really favor concord between peoples and which help to re move the dangers and causes of conflicts. It has particularly encouraged the undertakings for disarmament, especially those seeking to ward off the atomic peril, and it desires that hu manity should come to forearm Itself against such a serious threat by a sincere and general accord, which alone can render its efforts efficacious." VATICAN CITY (NC)—The Holy See has sent an outline of its views on the atomic threat to peace to a conference on the denuclearization of the Med iterranean basin held in A1 giers. Earlier, the Holy See had politely turned down a request from the conference for an au dience with Pope Paul VI. While the participants from Arab countries are middle-roaders or even representatives of gov ernments, delegates represent ing the other Mediterranean countires are mostly extreme leftists. A LETTER from Amleto Car dinal Clcognani, Papal Secre tary of State, was couched in the most general terms and made no mention of the proceedings in Algiers. Yet the Italian com munist organ, Unlta, not only asserted that the message con stituted "substantial support for the conference and for its action." It also asserted "it is the first time that the Vatican has taken a stand so clearly in favor of an action proposed by bight priests of the arch diocese of Atlanta and five lay men were today appointed by Archbishop Paul J, Halllnan to the reconstituted Archdiocesan Commission on the Sacred Liturgy.

They are G, T. Deckbar, Dr, Joseph Wilber, Louis Erbs, Mrs, Paul Trains and Mrs. Thomas Bockman, FATHER MAYHEW preparation of our people for the renewal of our public worship. Contrary to popular opinion, the phase concerned with the vernacular and the form - changes is not the basic task. "It is not the change in rubrics or text; it is the change of heart that is our challenge. This means that our parish ioners grow in understanding what public worship means; in motivating themselves for it; and in making it part of their daily lives, especially in the education of their children who will be our next Catholic gen eration." In re-constituting the Com mission on Sacred Liturgy, the Archbishop expressed his ap preciation for the great good accomplished through the ef forts of so many priests and people in the past. He stated his confidence that the work of the Commission and the co operation of all members of the archdiocese would guarantee a profound spiritual renewal in all parishes and institutions. ‘THREAT TO PEACE 1 YOUR PRIZE-WINNING NEWSPAPER Vatican States H-Bomb Views NINE-MEMBER COMMISSION New Development Group Is Named By Archbishop PROMOTED — Very Rev.

Dr. Wallace’s appointment, according to Mother M. Loreto, provincial superior of the Sis ters of the Holy Cross, was made in order to obtain com petent professional leadership in developing a program of urban education that would specifically meet the needs of children in an integrated parochial elementary ichool.

Dr. Wallace has been a full time educational and vocational counselor for the New York City public school system in its Higher Horizons program for bright underprivileged AVGUST 3 TO 21 children. Since 1961 she has been an assistant professor of educa tion at Fordham University summer sessions.
