Archdiocese of Atlanta YOUR PRIZE-WINNING NEWSPAPER SERVING GEORGIA’S 71 NORTHERN COUNTIES VOL 2 NO 34 ATLANTA, GEORGIA THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1964 $5.00 PER YEAR ARCHBISHOP HAUMAN: All Must Join In Liturgy Renewal ST, LOUIS (NC)—One of the two American members of the Vatican liturgy commission as serted here that ail members of the Church must Join in the res toration of the liturgy if the current renewal is really to succeed. Archbishop Paul J, Hallinan of Atlanta, speaking at a Lit urgical Week session (Aug, 27), said the new role of the laity is "to speak up, to sing out, to volunteer, to help, to instruct." "IF THE liturgy is to be re stored," he said, "if man is to be sanctified and God prais ed, if we are to become truly 'one in holiness,' then it must be done by the whole Church, not only by the bishops, priests and leaders among the faithful." "It will either be accom plished by the gradual Joining in of all God's people, the eager and the apathetic, the anxious and the confident, the favor able and the hostile, or it will not be done rightly at all," he said. THE ATLANTA prelate call ed on Religious to see their parish churches rather than IN CAPITOL their chapels as the focal point of their prayer life. He said: "A special responsibility for Sisters and Brothers is to rea lize that after the diocese, the parish is the true liturgical en tity, The ‘sense of community' which is so vital is nourished primarily not in the faculty house, nor the school, nor the convent chapel, but in the par ish church. There need be no revolution here, nor a breaking up of traditional Images or chapel altars. All that is need ed is a due sense of propor tion, The liturgy in the parish church is more than Just in a central location. It is the or dinary source of the Church's power. It is the ordinary cli max of the Church’s efforts," ARCHBISHOP Hallinan ack nowledged that there is "some resistance to the new changes," While declarirtg that "zeal for the liturgy is a sign of the pro vidential disposition of God in our time," he called for special tact: "We also need tact and courtesy and kindness and per suasion, and all these are the ways of charity ...Those who love the liturgy must be a real elite, and its foremost mark should be deep humility."

LOUIS — The annual Lit urgical Week got under way here with major stress on the 20th century Catholic’s mandate for responsible involvement, not only in the public worship of- the Church, but also~in co operation with men of all faiths and non— in efforts to solve "the problems and perplexities of this world." Serving as both the foundation and keynote for the Week was the opening Mass offered at 5 p.m, (Aug. 24) in massive Kiel Auditorium, This Eucharist was in effect a preview demonstrat ing the broad potential offered by the constitution on the litur gy enacted by the ecumenical council, and the American Bis hops' decrees for putting it into effect, which are to become general throughout the country next Nov. 29, ENGLISH was used for all of those prayers and Scripture readings which the Bishops have decided will be in the vernacu lar, Most of the Service of the Word was in English—not only the unchanging parts such as the Kyrie, Gloria and Creed, but also the Introlt, Epistle, Gradual and Gospel, In the Eu charistic Liturgy, the Offer tory Anthem and Sanctus, and Lord’s Prayer and most of the rest of the Communion Service were all ln'Engllsh.- Father Frederick R, McMan us, Catholic University of America canon law professor and liturgical expert of the ecu menical council was celebrant. He offered Mass facing the peo ple, at a large but starkly sim ple altar table.

FOR THE congregation, 11,000 strong, there was total involve ment. The congregational pray ers resounded through the hall whether they were English or Latin. Frequent song filled the auditorium. In addition to en trance and recessional humns, there was a song for the offer tory procession, when a group representing the congregation marched up the main aisle bear ing to the celebrant wholewheat hosts, wine and water for the Eucharistic meal. During the Communion, when the celebrant and a score of priests and deacons fanned through the auditorium to bring Communion to the people, con gregation and choir joined in two Communion songs.

Of G Vote NEW ORLEANS (RNS)—After Sept, 1, more than one-third of Knights of Columbus pre sent at a local council meet ing must cast negative votes to deny membership to an ap plicant. This is the result of changes made in the membership re quirements at the 82nd 'annual meeting of the K of C Supreme Council here, THE resolution, passed un animously, does away with the long-standing policy under which as few as five negative votes could deny membership to an applicant. This policy had brought cri ticism, since it was charged by many that the five-vote "blackmail" method had been used to discriminate against Negroes. EARLIER in the meeting, Grand Knight John S, McDevitt had urged relaxation of the membership policies. He ask ed that "charity and justice" be the only factors used in ■electing candidates for mem bership. Ten state councils had sub mitted resolutions asking that the membership law be revised.

The reason is that Mexico’s anti-clerical laws forbid the wearing of clerical garb in public. Sister Concepta, tran sferred here on short notice from the School of the Made- leln in Berkeley, Calif* had cut her hair short for summer comfort under her veil, and it was not long enough to be styled.
