Legislator Raps
Moral Confusion
WASHINGTON, D, C. (NS)—
By "contributing to the language
of oversimplification," Catho
lics have added to the moral
confusion which exists today in
the political realm, Sen, Eugene
J. McCarthy (D - Minn,) told
700 delegates and gueits of
the International Federation of
Catholic Alumnae.
The Federation, represent
ing 550 Catholic colleges and
high schools and more then
one million Catholic women
graduates, concluded its 50th
anniversary meeting here after
six days of sessions and work
shops,
SEN. McCarthy told 1FCA
members that two extreme'
views on politics exist today,
"First, there are those who
see politics outside any moral
and ethical Judgement," he said,
"These people believe that ethi
cal standards which apply in the
business and professional world
do not apply in the same way
when one holds public office and
public trust.
"THIS view also is applied
to foreign affa'i£s. Since our
enemies have no morality, we
also should proceed with 'no
holds barred," he said.
The other extreme, according
to the Senator, <s a tendency
towards overmoralizing and
oversimplifying political is
sues.
"THIS approach sees every
campaign as a moral crusade.
One’s own program is moral;
the other side's is ‘political.’
This view has it that all will
be all right if only the bad
men can be found out and
thrown overboard, somewhat in
the manner of Jonah."
The Senator cited as instanc
es in the oversimplifying of
politics what he called the Cath
olic tendency to call upon nat
ural law to explain every
thing and to depend on each-
words. "If a politician uses a
few words like ’subsidiarity’
and ‘pluralism," he is consid
ered to be sound," he said.
"WHILE there is no such
thing as a state or govern
ment that can be called strict
ly Christian—such a society
would have to be religious,"
Sen. McCarthy said that at all
times some standard of mora
lity must be applied topolitical
questions, "Politics is not sim
ply an extension 6f ethics nor
an application of moral judg
ments.
"Politics does, however, de
pend upon philosophy for the
determination of its goals and
objectives and upon ethics and
the moral sciences for con
tinuing Judgment on the methods
and means to retch those ob
jectives."
THE true realm of politics,
according to the Minnesota leg
islator, is "the realm of pra
ctical judgment; how the ob
jectives are to be achieved, at
what rate, and sometimes in
what measure. -
"This sometimes may mean
letting the cockle grow with the
wheat for a time, or not over
driving the flock",
SEN, McCarthy said that
three outstanding Issues of the
past two years showed how s
morsl commitment combined
wlto an intellectual judgment
should work together in deciding
whst course the United States
should take 1 ’’ "she faces chal
lenges qualitatively different
from those ever faced by any
other nation,"
Bishops
In Prison
BONN, Germany (NC)— Six
Rumanian-rite bishops— five
of whom were secretly con
secrated by the late Arch
bishop Gerald P, O'Hara
formerly Bishop of Sav-
annah-Atlanta before he was
expelled from Rumania where
he was apostolic nuncio until
1950— have been held prison
er by that nation’s commun
ist government in Gherla sin
ce 1948.
UNTIL the KNArelease was
Issued, there had been no re
port of the secret consecra
tion of the five bishops. They
were identified only as Bis
hops Chertes for Cluj-Gherla;
Hirte for Oradea-Mare; Vos-
tlnaro for Lugoj; Todeafor Blaj,
the See city of the Fagaras-
Alba Julia archdiocese; and Dra-
gomir for Baja, a supressed
diocese in the region of the pre
sent Jasl diocese. None are
listed in the official Vatican
yearbook.
ST. LOUIS (RNS)—Decentra
lization of Roman Catholic par
ishes into smaller, more inti
mate groups and creation of a
more informal liturgy which
would permit such innovations
as celebration of Mass in
"troubled homes" was advo
cated here by a noted lay writ
er and editor.
The proposals were made at
the 25th annual Liturgical Week
here by Michael Novak, Teach
ing Fellow at Harvard, editor
of the Current, a Catholic quar
terly, and frequent contributor
to Catholic magazines. Mr. No
vak, who holds a degree In theo
logy from the Pontifical Grego
rian University in Rome, is the
author of "The Open Church,"
a book on the Ecumenical Coun
cil’s second session.
HE TOLD delegates that
"ways need to be found to break
down large crowds into small
communities of believers."
Mr. Novak held that Ameri
cans on campuses, in business,
in the fields of culture and the
arts, and in political or profes
sional life, are "very seldom
struck with admiration for re
ligious organizations, including
the Roman Catholic Church,"
MANY suchnon-bslisvers, he
said, turn away from organized
religion "with revulsion" be
cause to many of them it seems
"immoral to bo religious in
this country. To belong to s
church seems to be s betrayal
of justice and truth...it seems
to mean that one must cease
being honest, cease being hum
ble, cease being willing to ad
mit the mistakes of ons's own
group.
"Moreover most educated
men of goodwill in the non-be
lieving community feel thtt in
joining s religious organiza
tion, one must cesse being faith
ful even to one’s own con
science. They note, for exam
ple, that priests cannot apeak
out according to their own con
sciences, but must follow the
policy of the organization to
which they belong, ynder penal
ty of serious rebuke.
"THEY find that laymen, too,
must say what they are told is
true, rather than what they
think is true, not only in mat
ters of doctrine, but often even
in matters of policy."
Mr. Novak said many educat
ed Americans watch the Sec
ond Vatican Council "with in
terest and condescension."
"THEY noted," he said, "that
the Council approved the fact
that people can pray in their
own languages, 400 years after
the Protestants grasped the im
portance of the vernacular.
"They watch the Council ar
gue about the retirement age of
bishops, years after ordinary
business firms and universi
ties have seen the necessity of
laws about retirement.'
"THEY take Pope John lit
erally when he said the Church
needs to be 'brought up to tfc-
day.’ They wait for the Coun
cil to tell them a single bit of
good news which they have not

heard before, and can accept
honestly and meaningfully."
Claiming that Catholics can
learn much by the judgment
passed upon the Catholic Church
by non-believers, Mr. Novak
said the Church is "too much
engaged in externals, in insti
tutional forms, in money-rais
ing campaigns, in the sponsor
ing of large rallies."
"THE life of the Gospels
appears to be by comparison
neglected," he said. "In how
many parishes, in how many
sermons, is far more heard
about the need for money, than
about the thirst after Justice,
and the life of honesty which
the Gospels enjoin?"
He called for "a new pio
neer movement" in the Catho
lic Church. "The liturgical
movement must now begin to
set new goals for Itself," he
urged. He said that to belong
to the liturgical movement five
or ten years ago called for
"some courage, and even those
in authority looked upon llt-
urglsts as ’crackpots.’
"BUT now that everyone is
on the bsndwsgon, now that the
things the llturglsts pioneered
is now law, it is easy to belong.
"It is time, therefore, for •
new pioneer movement,"
He ssld that the Catholic
Church should take heed of
Pope Paul’s announcement it
the beginning of the second
session of the Ecumenical
Council and "begin t dialogue
with the modem world,"
"THEY tell us that we ltck
courage and honesty, that we
•re conformists, that we are
afraid of conscience, thst we
hive forgotten the Gospels and
prefer Institutional peace, In
stitutional order, Institutional
security.,.And I think that we
must sty thtt those tccusatlons,
however painful, are rather
true."
Catholics, he added, can re
cover the spirit of the Gospels
by remembering that they are
"people of God, because we
have sn extensive canon law,
because we are humble people
among whom the Word of God
Is being spoken.
"WE must begin to recapture
the ideals of those small groups
of Christians who met together
informally in living rooms, who
celebrated the sacraments in
small groups In which the ex
perience of community and one
ness is very clear.
"We must begin to move out
of our churches, to abandon the
great institutional structure
which weighs us down on our
pilgrimage. We must be aware
of the dangers of our wealth,
we must be aware of the be
trayal of the Gospels possible
because of the largeness of our
institution.
"It would be good if our
curates could be celebratng
Mass In different parts of the
parish, in homes where there
are special troubles, or in
• neighborhoods where there are
special social problems."
MR. NOVAK said the new
liturgical movement must set
its sights on replacing "the
power bloc" with the praying
community, "on making the
Word of God as important as
fund-raising, on making wor
ship more Important than build
ings."
He claimed that in the eyes of
non-believers "Catholics are
noticeably lacking among those
who support with actions the
rights of Negroes to their full
place in the family, the friend
ship and the activities of first-
class citizenship."
