THE THIRD session of Vatican Council II opened with the con-
celebration of Mass by Pope Paul Vi and 24 prelates from all
parts of the world. The special altar, shown above, was flank-
ed by the towering Bernini columns which are a feature of St.
Peter's Basilica. In the background the Council Fathers are
seated, while observers and press representatives sit in the
area closest to the altar.
REGULARIZES CHURCH APPOINTMENTS
Vatican-Hungary Accord
VATICAN CITY (NC) — The
Holy See has announced the
signing of an agreement with
the Hungarian communist
government- that will recognize
the Vatican's authority in that
country for the first time in 15
years.-
The long-expected accord,
the result of 18 months of nego
tiations between Hungary and
the Holy See, was signed in
Budapest (Sept. 15).
THE announcement here
made no mention of Jozsef Car
dinal Mindszenty, the Pri
mate of Hungary who has been
living in the United States le
gation in Budapest ever since
the anticommunist uprising of
1956.
The Holy See simultane
ously announced six changes
in the Hungarian hierarchy, *
including the appointment of
Bishop Endre Hamvas of Csa-
nad, chairman of the Hungar
ian bishops' conference, as ar
chbishop of Kalocsa.
The Holy See’s announce
ment , couched in the most
general terms, said the docu
ment and its attached protocol
"contain some practical agree
ments, assurances or pled
ges on one part of the ques
tions treated, and at the same
time specify the points of view,
the requests and the reser
ves made known by the two
parties on individual points."
Both parties have declared
themselves "disposed to pursue
these exchanges of view in the
future, in the intention of pos-
siblly arriving at a broa
der agreement."
THE ACCORD was signed in
the Hungarian Ministry of Fore
ign Affairs by Msgr. Agos-
tino Casaroli, Papal underse
cretary of state for extraordin
ary church affairs, and Jozsef
Prantner, pr^ident of the Hun
garian state office for cul
tural affairs.
The Holy See’s announcement
was published in the Vatican
City daily L’Osservatore Ro
mano. It said representatives of
the Holy See and the Hungar
ian government "have had deep
ly-examined exchanges of views
about a complex of questions
of right and of fact regarding
the relations between the Catho
lic Church and the state in
Hungary."
It said both sides had de
cided "t o include the results
which the discussions have ach
ieved at this point in a doc
ument binding on both parties."
Besides the change of Bishop
Hamvas to the see of Kalocsa,
the following changes in the
Hungarian hierarchy wer 3 an
nounced:
• Msgr. Jozsef Bank, profes
sor at the Budapest Theo
logical Academy, becomes aux
iliary bishop of Gyor, with the
titular see of Materiana,
• Msgr. Jozsef Bank, profes
sor at the Budapest Theologi
cal Academy, becomes auxili
ary bishop of Gyor, with the
titular see of Materiana.
• Msgr. Paul Brezenoczyj
apostolic administrator of the
vacant Archdiocese of Eger,
will be given the titular see of
Rotaria.
•Msgr. Jozsef Cserhati,
apostolic administrator of the
vacant diocese of Pecs, will
be given the titular see of
Melzl.
- Msgr. Jozsef IJJas, aposto
lic administrator of the diocese
of Csanad will become titular
bishop of Tagarata.
—Msgr. Jozsef Winkler has
been confirmed in the appoint
ment given to him by the late
Pope John XXIII as titular bis
hop of Dadlma and serving as
auxiliary bishop of Szombath-
ely.
THE TALKS between the Holy
See and the Hungarian govern
ment began in earnest In April
of 1963 when Franz iskus Car
dinal Koenig of Vienna flew to
Budapest to talk to Cardinal
Mindszenty and presumbaly
with government officials. TTie
following month Msgr. Cas-
sroli visited the Hungarian
Capital to continue the talks.
The Holy See has had no
recognized authority in Hungary
since the conviction of Cardi
nal Mindszenty on charges of
treason 15 years ago. Sent
enced to life impriosnment by
the communist government, the
cardinal spent six years in
Jail until 1955 when he was
placed under house arrest.
The cardinal was freed by
the Hungarian freedom figh
ters in 1956. He returned for a
few days to Budapest, but when
Russian troops moved in to
crush the revolt he fled to the
American legation where he has
remained ever since.
IT HAS been reported that a
principal aim of the current
talks has been to secure the
release of the cardinal, now 72.
At one time the United States
took part in the negotiations.
In June, 1961, Secretary of
State Dean Rusk declared that
the U. S. had been unable to
work out a safe conduct pass
for the cardinal.
The accord reached between
the Holy See and the Hungarian
government is the first signed
with any eastern European na
tion.
The United States has offi
cially welcomed the newly-
signed agreement between Hun
gary and the Holy See as a
"positive development.”
State Department Press Of
ficer Robert McCloskey told
newsmen (Sept. 15) that "the
fact an accord has been reach
ed can be constructed as a pos
itive development."
He added that the U. S. did
not then know what was invol
ved in the jgreement and was
awaiting a text of the pact.
DISTAFF SIDE INVISIBLE
‘Ladies Day’ At Council-
Where Are The Ladies?
BY FATHER PLACID JORDAN,
O. S. B.
(N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE
Everybody was looking for the
"auditrices" at the opening day
of the ecumenical council’s
third session when Pope PAUL
VI in his allocution specifically
referred to his "beloved daugh
ters in Christ," the first wo
men in history to participate in
a conciliar assembly.
BUT NO women could be seen
among the men "auditors" who
were occupying their customary
seats. Unofficially, several
ladies known to be prospective
nominees were present in St.
Peter’s basilica, but Holy Co
mmunion was distributed by the
Pope to men only, not to
single women.
The innovation of feminine
representation in the great as
sembly had been generally an
ticipated since Leo Cardinal
Suenens of Malines-Brussels
first asked for it in a coun
cil session las October.
THE prospect became a rea
lity when, the week before the
session opened, Pope Paul him
self announced that both relig
ious and lay women would be
chosen as council auditors.
The reaction to this news
was particularly favorable
among women Religious here
who long have felt they deser
ved some official recognition
on the part of the Church. But
women lay leaders wondered
about the restriction implied In
the Pope's words that women
would be admitted only to coun
cil sessions of specific in
terest already appointed.
"AFTER all," said one ol
the latter here, "aren’t women
interested in all the council
proceedings?"
It was understood that a small
number of "token" appoint
ments of women auditors was
envisaged by council authori
ties. A woman religious super
ior familiar with the situa
tion pointed out that for the
present perhaps only orders of
women with a large member
ship would be among those re
present id.
IT WAS expected that Mother
Sabine de Valon of the Religi
ous of the Sacred Heart would
be one of them, isnce she is
in charge of the Union of Ma
jor Women Superiors General
headquartered in Rome. Al
though she resigned not long
‘POLITICS AND RACE
ago from this position, no suc
cessor has been chosen as yet
and she therefore continues In
her function with the tacit ap
proval of the Congregation of
Religious.
As far as lay women are
concerned, the name of Pilar
Belloslllo os Spain, president
of the World Union of Catho
lic Women’s Organizations,
was frequently mentioned. She
was expected here shortly.
SEVERAL men auditors also
were to be added to the list of
those appointed during the past
session, but no announcement of

should the laymen get involv

To the question, how the lay

God Love You
BY MOST REVEREND FULTON J. SHEEN
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was once asked: "Where
is your parish?" His answer was: "My parish is the world," A
canonical definition of a parish is that it is a small geographical
area for which a pastor and his assistants have assumed respon
sibility. Those who are not Catholics are not the practical con
cern of the parish unless they come to the rectory. We do not go
to them - they must come to us.
Walls and pulpits! How unnecessary 1 How they "cabin, crib and
confine" our evangelism. Does he who is not a
Catholic want to put himself inside strange walls?
And a pulpit - what is it so often but the bulletin
board for the members of the club?
Communism is winning the world because it
rings doorbells, buttonholes passers-by, goes into
the highways and byways. The world is its parish.
Fire has two qualitpes: light and heat. So does the
Gospel. Its light is truth and faith. Its heat is love
and zeal. The two should go together, but they are
divorced. We have the light but no heat; the Communists have the
heat but no light. We have the truth, but we keep it inside walls
and formalize it In a pulpit. They have the zeal and become mis
sionaries, As Marx said; "Philosophers dream about the world;
we must change it."
Humanity cannot live without firebrands.The moment the Church
becomes so formalized that she has little or no interest in people
and the world except as members of a parish or a diocese, Com
munism fills the vacuum. If we look at It head-on we can see that
Communism is a judgment on our own unfulfilled Christian duty.
If you have never made a convert; if you have never talked to a
neighbor about Christ; if you have never given a thought to lepers,
to the millions who are stumbling in the darkness, then, for the
love of Christ Who died for the world, begin to put your faith to
work. Do not think that you will go to heaven because you go to
Church every Sunday, yet never "Go to be reconciled to your
neighbor" from Monday to Saturday,The world is your parish too,
and it is being captured by those who proclaim "Love of man for
man’s sake." Why? Because we have not practiced "Love of man
for Christ's sake." How many of our Catholic people feel that we
must enlarge our vision, widen our help and have more of the
Cross of Christ in our dailylives?Cutout this column and send in
your observations and practical proof that you too love the world.
