T PAGE 8 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 1964 POPE’S PRIMACY INVOLVED Collegiality Is Major Issue In Current Council Debate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 posed doctrine could be true but he insisted that it is not ripe enough to warrant a de cision. He added that collegiality, un less fully explained, would re strict not only the Pope’s power but even the power of individual bishops in their dioceses. BISHOP Franic raised no doctrinal arguments against re storation of a permanent dia- conate. But he argued that to restore it without making celi bacy binding upon deacons has already been understood as a first step to abolishing priest ly celibacy. Cardinal Koenig then ex plained the method followed by the doctrinal commission in al tering the schema. He urged the council to vote for the text. ARCHBISHOP Parente pre faced his argument by declar ing that he spoke not as as sessor of the Holy Office but as Titular archbishop of .The- baide. He noted that the an cient African see of Thebaide now lies in a desert. He said he hoped he was speaking "only as a voice from the de sert, not as a voice in the desert." He asserted that the text should allay any fears that collegiality would rouse an cient ghosts of the conciliar heresy of gallicanism. ARCHBISHOP Parente then said that the Pontifical Bibli cal Commission had confirmed the text’s assertion that col legiality is of divine institu tion according to the letter and spirit of the New Testa ment. He said the continuance of collegiality in the successors of Peter and the other apostles follows logically from the con tinuance promised by Christ to his Church. This is confirmed by the documents of tradition, he said. THE SCHEMA insists, he said, that the college of bishops has no authority except in u nion with the Pope, understood as its head. This, said Archbishop Parente, forestalls erroneous interpretations; the text re iterates that collegiality im plies no lessening of papal primacy. The Text emphasizes the full, supreme and universal power of the Pope as the Vicar of Christ, he continued. It says the body of bishops succeeds the college of the apostles in the power to teach and govern. It states that the body of bishops, with the Roman Pontiff at its head, and never without this head, is like wise a subject of supreme and full power over the universal Church. THIS assertion is based on the 28th chapter of St. Matt hew, he said, in which Christ gave his commission to the college of the apostles as a whole. The assertion is sup ported by the 18th chapter of St. Matthew, he said, where h e power of binding and loosing given to Peter is likewise con ferred on the other apostles.! The schema avoids the qi es- tion of whether the holder of this power is cn e o r plural, i Archbishop Parente said. He added that in any case there is still only one power. HE SAID there is no valid ity to the objection against the word "full" used to modify the power of the Pope alone, and then to the Power of the Pope and bishops in union with him. However, he did admit dif ficulty arising from the use of the word "supreme" in those two ways. He said both diffi culties disappear upon con sideration erf the fact that Christ instituted not a two fold power in the Church but only one power, and that He conferred it upon the entire apostolic college composed of Peter and the other apostles. Hence, the supreme power of the pope remains intact, he said. He asserted that participation of the bishops in the govern ment of the Church m akes the Pope's primacy more solemn and "more palatable" (Latin suavior). ARCHBISHOP Parente also said that the schema does not contradict the teaching of Pope Pius XII in "Mystici Corporis" that episcopal power is d erived from Christ through the Roman Pontiff: "Our text sets forth clearly that this power, though derived from Christ, is under stood only in dependence upon the Roman Pontiff, both as re gards its existence, because of the organic structure o t he Church, and as regards its exercise." Bishop Henriquez Jimenez de livered the section of the state- j ment dealing withthe restora tion of the diaconate as a per manent order. He said the same schema merely leaves the door open for married deacons. THIS 84th general congre gation of the council had open ed with the Mass of St. Matt hew, the feast of the day, cele brated by Massachusetts-born Bishop Frederic Donaghy, M.M., exiled Bishop of Wuchow, China, who is now a mission ary in Formosa and who is marking his silver jubilee as a bishop. The Gospel was en throned by Illinois-born Bish op Adolph A. Noser, S.V.D., for Alexishafen, New Guinea. Julius Cardinal Doepfner of Munich was the moderator. AT THE end of statements the voting began. During the balloting, five council Fathers spoke on the schema under de bate, that on the pastoral dut ies of bishops. The speakers were Cardinal Leger of Montreal; Carlo Cardinal Confalonieri, Secre tary of the Consistorial Con gregation, Bishop Enrico Com- pagnon, O.C.D., of Anagni, Italy; Archbishop Agnelo Rossi of Ribeirao Preto, Brazil; and Bishop Rudolf Steverman, O. F.M., for Sukamapura, Indo nesia. Following is the gist of their points: CARDINAL Leger: The coun cil’s aim is pastoril and there fore demands new methods of teaching and governing. Today's men have a different approach from that of a generation ago*: they are technical-minded, they reject any paternalism in the hierarchy or clergy, their Idea of obedience safeguards their personal responsibility. To be pastor ally effective, bishops and priests must be personally present among their flock. Ar chaic ecclesiastical language may be one reason why we are like voices crying in the wilderness. Diocesan chancer ies should be reorganized on more pastoral lines. There is room for reform in clerical dress and titles. BISHOP Compagnone: The primary contribution of the Re ligious to the apostolate is prayer, expiation and example. The zeal for the apostolate should not make bishops fo cus attention exclusively on what merely appears to be a greater good. The danger of abusing the contribution of Re ligious to the apostolate must be forestalled by determining concrete legislation in the fu ture code on canon law. 3 rd Printing! mmMimmmintmiHiiiiimimiHiiiiiiimiiiMmiiiimiimiHmiiiiiimmwimmiHMiHHmimiiiiiiiiiiu How To Understand Changes In The Liturgy By ARCHBISHOP PAUL J.

Two United States prelates, seen in chasubles at left front of altar are Archbishop John J. Krol of Philadelphia and Arch bishop Lawrence J. Shehan of Baltimore. OVERWHELMING VOTE Council Approves Collegiality Teaching CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 it would bo well not to strike too deeply at the exemption of Religious from diocesan auth ority lest they not be avai lable to the pope. Archbishop Joseph Urtasun of Avignon, France, calledforcol laboration between bishops and Religious,. saying they should form a single family. Team work was called for again and the Archbishop stressed par ticularly the need for it in terms of interparish activities. Bishop Pablo Barrachina Es- tevan of Orihuel a-Alicante, Spain, said it is basic from a pastorlal viewpoint that the diocese be looked on a&arnodel or miniature of the universal Church. He warned that bishops should not favor some priests more than others because of the income which comes with the individual's assignment. To do away with this problem he re commended that bishops take steps to reduce differences and inequalities. ARCHBISHOP Emile Guerry of Cambrai, France, urged that more stress be put on the bis hops’ duty of didactic preaching. He said that the modern world calls bishops to a new form of preaching because they are called on to appear incivil life and should be heard on'civil and social problems. Bishops need to be aware of the social problems of the day and need the explicit knowledge of the social order they can gain from laymen, he said. Archbishop Guerry admitted that this would take courage and humility and the gift of clarity. Bishop Jean Sauvage of An necy, France, said he felt the schema talked too much of the relation of priests to bishops and that it should also stress that of bishops to priests and the bond of unity which should exist between them. ARCHBISHOP Eugene D* Souza of Bhopal, India, echo ed the call forcooperationbet- ween bishops and Religious. Saying that in some cases. Religious fear falling under a diocesan dictatorship, he warn ed that there must be give and take on both sides. Religious should not push their privileges, he said. To safeguard their interest he suggested they be given a place on national episcopal conferen ces or that a mixed commis-. sion of bishops and Religious be set up. Lastly he warned against what St. John Chrysos tom called "those icy words— yours and mine." Another Frenchman, Auxi liary Bishop Marius Maziers of Lyons, deplored the lack of a pastoral tone in the schema and called for emphasis to be placed on poverty, simplicity. humility and the need for be ing near the people. A similar note was sounded by Coadjutor Bishop Herbert Bednorz of Katowice, Poland, who wanted stress to be plac ed on the care of souls. He emphasized the need for amis sionary spirit and said that a pastor must serve everyone, not just Catholics. He recom mended a common life for all engaged in apostolic work. ARCHBISHOP Miguel Miran- day Gomez of Mexico City de voted his talk to a plea to include material on vocations. Talking of the vocation crisis in Latin America, he urged co operation of bishops and Religi ous in securing vocations. Listen as well as speak: That was the advice of Bishop Juan Iriarte of Reconquista, Ar gentina. Saying that since there had been a change in types of bishops from feudal times to the period after the Council of Trent, so too a change is now needed from the post-Trent era to today and bishops must con vince rather than dominate. Cardinal Doepfner intervened to call him to matters under discussion. Bishop Wilhelm Pluta of Gorzow, Poland, was another to deplore the lack of a strong pastoral tone in the schema. He asked the council Fathers to issues a declaration-to cor rect the lack of concern for INTERNATIONAL MEETING PRICE 25c Bulk Orders at Special Prices) Doctors, Clergy Expected At Rhythm Symposium WASHINGTON (NC)— Some 150 physicians, clergy men, hospital and social ser vice officials and family life educators from the U.

Are you willing to give yours?' *’ "THIS IS strange talk in a nation where many of our par ents and most of our grandpar ents came to these shores with out jobs and remained to build the most powerful economy in the world." he declared. 'This prejudice against the immigrant, the Puerto Rican, the Cuban, and especially against the American Negro is unworthy of men of labor. Your long tradition of fighting for what is right cannot afford the luxury of loopholes. For 25 years you have struggled to es tablish the right of all workers to form a union of their own choosing. In the words ofMsgr. Edward Head of New York, The objective must now be the right of all working men to join these unions so formed—all men, re gardless of race or color,* " the archbishop said. 'Tour society of apprentice ships is meant to insure compe tency, not to propagate preju dices," Archbishop Hallinan emphasized. "You have boldly challenged public opinion in the cause of justice. It must be done again when that public opinion is guilty of denying the Negro a series of rights any one of which the white American would de fend with his life," pastoral theology. THREE bishops devoted their remarks to the need for bishops to use sociological studies and other scientific means of getting to know the needs and problems of their DeoDle. Bishops Leonidas Proano Villalba of Riobamba, Ecuador; Samuele Ruiz Garcia of Chia pas, Mexico, and Charles- Marie Himmer of Toumai, Bel gium^ all stressed the fact that a bishop cannot know his people individually today, but that he must know about them. To do this he should use the instruments which science, and particularly sociology, give to him. An Eastern-rite prelate took issue with the schema because, he said, he felt it was wholly directed to dioceses of the Latin rite. Maronite-rite Archbishop Ignace Ziade of Beirut, Leban on, called for revision of the schema so that it will apply also to the Eastern-rite areas. In particular he called for abolition of multiple-rite dio ceses with a mixture of rites and jurisdictions. He pointed out that the Holy See was care ful not to appoint two men to the same titular See and asked why the same concern could not be shown toward living Sees. BISHOP Agostinho Lopes De Moura, C. S.Sp., of Portalegre- Castelo Branco, Portugal, sug gested various technical chan ges. He was followed by Arch bishop Antoni Baraniak of Poz nan, Poland, who read a state ment of Polish Archbishop Jozef Gawlina, who had died the day before.
