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- CONTTNUED ON PAGE 8
