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 CFM Groups Hear Talk By Weltner The Christian Family move ment of Christ the King and Immaculate Heart of Mary held a joint meeting in the Parish Hall of Christ the King.

To the question, how the lay men works, he suggested coffee parties to introduce the candi date, letter typing, telephone calling, or work in the head quarters itself.

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.
