(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 RECEIVING one of the pens President Lyndon B. Johnson used to sign into law the "anti-poverty" bill Is Msgr. Fran cis T. Hurley, assistant general secretary, National Catholic Welfare Conference. David J. McDonald, president, United Steel Workers of America (CIO), Pittsburgh, looks on. 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."
