Laity Schema
Lacking Lay
Deliberation
BY JOHN COGLEY
VATICAN CITY (RNS)~DuiS
ing the fourth week of the pres
ent session the layman fully
emerged at the Vatican Council
when the Fathers turned their
attenti .n to the draft decree on
the lay apostolate. The emer
gence, it might be said, was not
so much due to the draft as it
was occasioned by the debate
about it. For most of the bis
hops who spoke out on the Apos
tolate of the Laity went far be
yond the commission which pre
pared the draft in sketching out
the role of the layman in the
Church of the Aggiomamento.
It is doubtful if the combined
editorial staffs of The Common
weal, Cross Currents, Jubilee,
Ramparts, and the Catholic
Worker, with Michael Novak
thrown in for good measure,
would have been more critical
of the lay apostolate schema
than the bishops who rose to
comment on it,
BOTH conservative and pro
gressive Fathers found it want
ing, the one group because it
went too far in outlining the
freedom of the laity and the oth
er because it did not go far
enough. That may sound as if
the schema is a sound middle-
of-the-road document. But the
problem is that it zig-zags back
and forth, working both sides
of the street.
The draft was variously de
scribed as "uninspiring"
(Archbishop Owen McCann of
Capetown), "timid and hesi
tant" (Auxiliary Bishop Stephen
Leven of San Antonio — who
incidentally described himself
last week as a ' long-time-no-
see" member of the hierar
chy), "unrealistic" (Bishop
Garard H, De Vet of Breda,
Holland), "confused" (Arch
bishop Vicente Enrique y Tar-
ancon of Oviedo, Spain), "too
clerical" and "patronizing"
(Joseph Cardinal Ritter of St.
Louis), "a great disappoint
ment" (Bishop Remy De Roo of
Victoria, Canada), "speaking to
ourselves" (Bishop Alexander
Carter of Sault Ste. Marie,
Canada), "repetitious, lacking
in order" and "verbose"
(Archbishop Adam Kozlowiecki
of Lusaka. Northern Rhodesia),
MARTYRS OF UGANDA, to be canonized Sunday. Oct. 18. by Pope Paul VI, are honored
in the cathedral of Arusha. Tanganyika, where the triptych above shows two of the 22
martyrs with the palm of victory and a representation of their martyrdom. Bishop Den
nis Vincent Darning. C.S.Sp.. a native of Philadelphia. Pa., heads the 26,000 square mile
diocese of Arusha.
and "weak in its doctrinal
foundations" (Archbishop Ig-
nace Ziade, a Maronite prelate
of Beirut, Lebanon.)
EVEN the Latin grammar of
the schema came in for a drub
bing. Archbishop Carlo Mccan
of Mondovi, Italy said that it
was "not up to conciliar style."
The closest thing to general
approval came from the arch
conservative Michael Cardinal
Browne of the Roman Curia.
According to the paraphrase of
Cardinal Browne's words is
sued by the Council press of
fice , he said that "the text is
good, even excellent." But even
the doughty Dominican cardinal
had reservations. He suggested
a number of changes necessary
"in order to preserve proper
balance and to achieve greater
accuracy of expression."
PRACTICALLY every sche
ma that has come before the
Fathers has received its share
of criticism. Usually it is a mat
ter of praising however, the in
gredients were reversed. Not
since the original presentation
of "The Sources of Revelation,"
which was withdrawn for com
plete revision by Pope John in
1962, has there been such wide
spread rejection of a Council
proposal. Fernando Cardinal
Cento, a benign though some
what ineffectual prelate, vete
ran of the Vatican diplomatic
corps, was charged with major
responsibility for the lay apos
tolate draft.
He was noticeably hurt by the
barrage of criticism. Other bis
hops and theologians who work
ed on it for more than three
years — a number of whom
consider themselves models of
"progressive" thought—seem
ed to have been equally stunned
by the vehemence of the attack.
It was evident in the defensive
reaction a few of them revealed
that though they might have ex
pected criticism, they were not
prepared for quite that much.
WHAT went wrong?
The most obvious inadequacy,
of course, was the absence of the
layman’s touch in the presenta
tion of the material. The draft
is couched in the stiffest semi
nary rhetoric and reads as if it
were written in a chancery of
fice. More than one Council
Father noted the whiff of old-
fashioned clericalism that clung
to it, though episcopal noses are
not unduly sensitive to such an
odor.
MOREOVER, in spite of all
the goodwill in the world, its
tone is patronizing toward the
laity and vaguely offensive.
Laymen of an earlier genera
tion might have accepted this
patiently enough as proper ec
clesiastical style, but the mod
ern laity, defensively conscious
as they are of their Christian
vocation and the dignity of their
place in the Church, are not
about to. Some bishops saw that
right away.
In addition, the schema suf
fers from the awkwardness that
appears to be the special mark
of group-think presentations.
That it is the product of a com
mittee's labors and was written
and re-written until all the juice
was gone is evident in every
stilted phrase it uses and ner
vous qualification it makes —
and they are frequent and nu
merous.
ACTUALLY there were lay-
