The earlier text favored by Bishop Leven states that the crime cannot be attributed ot the Jewish people as a whole of all times. Archbishop O'Boyle took the floor to speak as a council Father from the country which has the largest Jewish popula tion of any nation in the world. While supporting the declara tion, he made a number of recommendations aimed a clarifying and strengthening the document. HE STATED that the text should be ecumenical in spirit and that it should be intelli gible to the Jews. It must be precise, accurate and inspired by wisdom and charity, he said. He added that is direct ed to an ecumenical end and consequently, without hiding any facts, it should avoid giving offense without cause. As it stands, he said, the do cument does not comply with this norm. As an example he cited the passage in which is expressed the concept of the ul timate joining together of Jews and Christians. This, he said, immediately brings to the minds of many Jews the memories of past persecutions, forced conversions and forced rejec tion of their faith. This raises the prospect of prosyletism in Jewish minds, he said. Archbishop O'Boyle stated that certainly conversion is an object of the Church, but that this aim should be stated in a sober manner and in a way that does not offend. There should be no hint of pressure or other means that would dis rupt fruitful dialogue between the Church and the Jewish people. MOREOVER, he said, the text seems to be lacking in truth and charity in its partial abso lution of the Jews of modem times of deicide. It does not mention the innocence of the Jews at the time of Christ, he said. Archbishop Heenan warned that the original text on de icide. It does not mention the innocence of the Jews at the time of Christ, he said. Archbishop Heenan warn ed that the original text on deicide was clear and public ly known, and that to tempor- zie or water it down would be a great mistake. “I humbly plead that this declaration of ours shall openly proclaim that the Jewish people as such are no t guilty of the death of our Lord." he said.

YOUR PRIZE-WINNING NEWSPAPER Strong Declaration Urged On Fathers ARCHBISHOP HALLINAN last Sunday dedicated the new Chapel of the Holy Trinity at St. Joseph’s Infirmary. The chapel, an outstanding example of contemporary Catholic art and architecture was created through the generosity of the late Esmond Brady and was dedicated to the memory of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Burke Brady. IN HONOR OF MRS. BRADY Archbishop Dedicates Holy Trinity Chapel At Infirmary Through the generosity of the late Esmond Brady, the Chapel of The Holy Trinity was dedi cated in memory of his moth er, Mrs. Elizabeth Burke Brady, by Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan, on Sunday, at St. Joseph’s Infirmary. Some of the finest examples of Contemporary Catholic Art and Architecture may be seen in this chapel. The fluency of plan with the compelling sense of balance reflects the rever ence and emotional content of a little romanesque basilica. Abreu and Robeson, Architects, achieved this by the appro priate selection of materials and the close co-ordination of design and the arts. The stone walls of coquina stone, the black Buckingham slate floor, cut into elongated diamond shapes contrasting with the white ceiling and the use of stained and leaded glass win dows arranged in varying ab stract designs establish the overall mood while the light and dark woods, combined with gold leaf, contribute warmth and richness. THE altar table is made with mens a and base of Rosso An tic o di Chlavari marble in home finish with front and sides of inlaid wood. The altar {or Mass facing the congregation will be located directly be hind the altar railing, which is made of the same marble as the altar of repose with bronze sup ports which repeat the shape of the bronze stanchions bearing the Stations of the Cross. Behind the Altar table is a large Crucifix whose corpus is carved from lindenwood and nailed to an ashwood cross. This Crucifix silhouettes against a marble and Venetian glass mosaic. In the mosaic are visible the symbols of the Msgr. Cassidy Farewell Tonight A farewell reception will be held Tonight, Thursday, for Msgr. Joseph G. Cassidy, P. A., V. r., who is leaving the pastorate of Christ the King Cathedral to become pastor of Sacred Heart.of Jesus parish, Milledgeville. .. The ceremonies will begin, at 7;30 p.m, with Bendiction, of fered by Archbishop Hallinan in the Cathedral. After Bene diction the guests will enter the Gym at the E. Wesley St. entrance to meet Msgr. Cas sidy. Later, refreshments will be served in the Assembly Room downstairs. All friends of the Monsignor are invited to attend the Rece ption. four Evangelists, the triangle of the Holy Trinity, twelve stars representing the Apostles and over a large symbolic chalice a host and the dove of the Holy Spirit. THE mosaic reredos depicts the vision where Ezekiel saw four symbolic animals, which from the earliest centuries have been recognized as types of the Four Evangelists. St. Matthew is represented by the animal with a human face because his Gospel opens with the human geneology of Jesus and His humanity is stressed throughout. The attribution of the lion to St. Mark is be cause he wrote of the royal dig nity of Christ and began his Gospel with an account of St. John the Baptist, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness." An added reason was that St. Mark was considered the his torian of the Resurrection, of which, among other things, the lion is a symbol. St. Luke is symbolically represented as an Ox because at the beginning of his Gospel he mentions the Priesthood of Zachary and be cause the ox was usually the victim in the sacrifice of the Old Law. It is to St. John that we owe the most beauti ful pages on the Divinity of the Word made Flesh and it is for CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 two-day debate on the historic declaration on the Church’s re lations with the Jewish pbople closed (Sept. 29) at the coun cil's 90th meeting with a major ity of the day’s 21 speakers favoring a strong positive council statement. At the same meeting, a pro posal to allow young men to be ordained deacons without an obligation of celibacy failed to gain the two-thirds majority needed. In fact, for the first time in the council’s history the "no" votes of the Fath ers were a majority. In this case, only 839 Fathers vot ed "yes," while 1,364 voted "no." HOWEVER, two other votes on the diaconate were passed by slender majorities. One ap proved locating authority for the introduction of the separate or der of deacons in national con ferences of bishops with the ap proval of the Holy See. The other approved conferring the order of deacon on older mar ried men. Among the speakers on the closing day of discussion of Jewish declaration were three Americans, one of whom won applause when he declar ed he was yielding his right to speak because his points had been adequately covered by other speeches. He was Arch bishop Lawrence J. Shehan of Baltimore. The other Ameri cans who spoke were Auxiliary Bishop Stephen A. Leven of San Antonio, Tex., and Archbishop Patrick A. O’Boyle of Wash ington. With completion of the de bate—unless some bishops se cured the signatures of 70 of thei r colleagues so that they could speak later on the Jewish declaration— the next schema on the council agenda was scheduled to be the one on Divine Revelation. This was to be introduced Sept. 30. BISHOP Leven .launched a strong appeal for the insertion of a clear statement that the Jews should never be called deicides or killers of God. He said that perhaps this state ment had been eliminated from the present text on the basis that, as a philosophical or theo logical consideration, it is im possible to kill God. But he pointed out that what the council is considering is not a matter of words. Rather it is a question of a sad rea lity, he said. The Fathers must make sure that the term "God- killer" is never again used ag ainst the Jews. Any silence on this would be an offense aga inst justice, he declared. Bishop Leven said that he was speaking in the name of almost all U. S. bishops and propos ed two textual changes in their name. The first was the clear re pudiation of the charge of de cide against the Jews. Secon dly, he asked that the present text be revised and called for a return to the earlier text.
