It is intended to make clear the distinction of roles or parts in the liturgy, with each one— priest or minister or layman- taking his own part. In countries where parts of the Mass are already said in the vernacular or where this change will be introduced soon, the Epi stle and Gospel should, of course, be proclaimed or an nounced facing the people to whom the words are addressed. The new instruction goes fur ther, however, and describes the whole new rite for this “Li turgy of Word of God." AT LOW Mass, for example, it is preferable that the lector, whether cleric or layman, should read the Epistle while the celebrant listens. The same lector may read the chants which follow the Epistle un less these are sung or recited by others. The Gospel reading is reserved to the deacon, sec ond priest or celebrant himself. Even at low Mass, the cele brant may remain at his seat through these readings, thus empahsizing his office of pre siding over the service, and take his place at the altar only for the celebration of the Euc- charist itself, beginning at the Offertory. Various possibilities are provided for readings; at the lectern or the pulpit, at the edge of the sanctuary area, the railing, even at the altar. The alternatives are a step toward breaking down the rigidity and formalism of ceremonial dir ectives or rubrics. Great flexi bility is provided, according to the circumstances, so that reading to the people will be well planned beforehand and not conducted routinely according to a rigid pattern. TO HELP popular partici pation and to show that the Mass is a sacrificial banquet or meal, the instruction allows and pre fers, but does not require, that the altars be arranged, for Mass with the celebrant fac ing the people. It is made very clear that Mass may be cele brated in this way even if there is a small tabernacle on the altar. Few directions are given on church building and planning to encourage the congregation to participate with understanding. The widest freedom is given in locating the tabernacle, which has sometimes appeared to be an obstacle to the celebration of Mass toward the people. The tabernacle may be on the main altar or on another altar (ideally in a separate chapel or other such area, according to the instruction). But it may even be, according to local custom, and in particular cases with approval of the biship, in some other fitting place in the church. THE instruction, which con tains 99 sections, deals with many details. Some are tech nical, such as the procedure when national bodies of bishops enact legislation on the liturgy in virtue of the 1963 consti- The second monthly meet ing of The Home and School Association of Immaculate Con ception School, was held Sunday, October 18, from 2:30p^n. un til 4 p.m. There was a short general assembly in the school cafetor- ium, Mary Ann Repik gave a LaGrange Pastor Hits Delinquency Father Joseph Beltran, pas tor of St. Peter’s Catholic Church, LaGrange was guest speaker at the LaGrange Lions Club meeting on Oct. 14. His subject was juvenile delin quency. He advised parents to return to the old fashioned ways of bringing up children. Father Beltran said; "Juve nile Crimes are a serious prob lem and one of the nation’s most serious liabilities. Young people are given too much too soon." He said our duty is to help our children back to God by providing a religious home background and teaching them to know, love and serve God, tution. The responsibilities of liturgical comminssions, na tional and diocesan, are also spelled out at length. Most details have pastoral value and importance: the pos sibility of a sung Mass with a deacon but without a subdea- con; the elimination of rest rictions formerly placed upon priests in giving certain bles sings; reprobation of any dis tinction among persons, forex- ample, church seating arrange ments in church on a basis of social or economic condition. ONE welcome concession allows the faithful who receive Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil Mass or at Christmas Midnight Mass to receive Com munion again at Mass on Eas ter Sunday morning and Christ mas Day. The instruction devotes much space to seminary training and especially to the long over due integration of the whole spiritual life of clerical stu- dsnts with the 1 iturgy. The popu lar Bible services are en couraged in parishes, but with their pattern left flexible. De tails of Confirmation and mar riage rites within the Mass itself are worked out. SINCE the homily is part of the Mass and not a catechet ical instruction or occasional sermon, a general statement of the council has made spec ific; where plans for Mass sermons are set up, they must be in harmony with the mystery of the Redemption. In some matters the instruc tion is more restrictive than the council’s Constitution on the Liturgy. The altar missals and breviaries used by the clergy should contain Latin as well as the vernacular texts, even when the latter are allowed. Ordina tion rites must remain in Latin except for introduc tory sections. In general, how ever, the openness of the coun cil has been preserved even in a document which neces sarily deals in directives and norms. THE spirit of liturgical rene wal shines through in the signi ficant opening paragraphs of the instruction. The whole importof the reform does not lie in the novelty but in pastoral action to express the “paschal mys tery" better. This mystery of the Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus is celebra ted in the Church “in the sacra ments of faith, chiefly Baptism and Confirmation." And around the celebration of the Holy Eu charist “are ranged the other sacraments and sacramentals by which the paschal mystery of Christ is unfolded in the course of each Church year." Some will be disappointed that this or that change has not pro visional character and the necessity for gradualism ment ioned in the case of liturgical education and instruction, for mation and participation. This task, according to the instru ction, is the responsibility of all pastors of souls, "in the words of Vatican Council II." brief presentation on Mother Mary McCauley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, teachers at the school.

BONN, Germany (NC)--Talks between the Vatican and the communist regime in Czechos lovakia are in progress, the German Catholic news agency KNA has reported here. The agency said that the site of the talks was "te capital of a West European country." It also said that the Cz3chos- lavakian Ambassador to Italy was present at the talks. ACCORDING to the report, the discussions were preceded by a consultation between Bis hop Eduard Necsey, the Apos tolic Administrator of theNitra diocese, and an official in the Church property bureau of the Czechoslovak Ministry of Cul tural Affairs. Bishop Necsey acted as spokesman for the Czechoslovak biiiiisssshopps now in Home attending the Vat ican council. It is reported by KNA that the first subject at the talks was the problem of diocesan adminis tration. Normal, free leader ship is lacking in almost every DARLINGTON, N. J. (NC) — Much of what sounds newest in the deliberations of the ecu menical council is really oldest, a Church historian said here. Just back from three weeks at the council, Msgr. Henry G. J. Beck of Immaculate Concep tion Seminary said in an inter view that the council is "return ing the Church to its sour ces." WHILE all that is going on in the council looks like innova tion, Msgr. Beck said, "in reality it is the behavior of the earliest Christians." He de clared: 'The reevaluation of the epis copacy as a collegiate body cer tainly represents a charge in attitude. But it was also a very prominent reality at the ecu menical council of 50 A.D. ‘THE restored diaconate is a most significant change. Yet the function of deacons was clearly outlined in the Acts of the Apostles. ’The reevaluation of our phraseology of Scripture and Tradition is a change. In the last 400 years theologians have bt-en inclined to separate Scrip ture and T raditlon, and now the council is welding them togeth er, placing Scripture within Tradition. But this reunder standing harks back to the early apologists, like Irenaeus of Lyons writing in 180 A.D. 'THE apostolic labor of the layman dates back to the very Epistle of St, Paul where the community is addressed as bearers of the message of Christ by their witness and their Czechoslovak diocese. The regime is still pressing for top diocesan posts the Vicar Capi tulars it placed in diocesan of fices several years ago. But it is said to have no objection to the nomination of Apostolic Ad ministrators by the Church as diocesan heads. THE NEWS agency stated that the Prague government is not committed to the nomination of its candidate, Vicar Capitular Father Antonin Stehiik, as Apostolic Administrator of the Prague archdiocese, because it knows that the Vatican will nev er agree to the appointment. The government, however, is reported opposing Auxiliary Bishop Kajetan Matousek for the post. Bishop Matousek, tiow pastor of St. Adalbert church in Prague, is said to be favor ed by Archbishop Joseph Beran of Prague. Archbishop Beran’s fate will probably be left undecided by the conferees, it was reported.The Prague prelate, released by the Czechoslovak Reds in October, 1963, after 14 years of intern ment, has not been allowed to take charge of his archdiocese. life." The historian commended the readiness of the council and Pope Paul VI to admit that Catholics share the blame for divisions among Christians. 'THE greatest problem sep arating the Christian communi ty in the past 400 years," he said, "has been that neither side was willing to budge an inch....The only way to begin is to say we are sorry for what we have done to hurt you." In this regard Msgr. Beck called the recent return of a relic of St. Andrew to the Or thodox “one of the truly signi ficant acts" of the council's third session. “POPE Paul’s January visit to Jerusalem and Patriarch Athenagoras, and this Septem ber’s return of the relic will, 100 years from now, be seen as the beginning of the rapproach- ment between the Church and the East," he predicted. North Carolina Lay Consultors RALEIGH, N.C. (NC)~North Carolina's Bishop has named 120 lay men and women to be consultors to Church leaders, 40 to assist him and 80 to aid the heads of the Raleigh dio cese's ten deaneries. Bishop Vincent S.

Protest Adding To D’Youville BUFFALO, N.Y. (RNS)—Sev- en Protestant ministers here protested a proposal to use part of Prospect Park for ex pansion of D'Youville College, a Catholic institution for women. The clergymen contended in a letter that a gift of public prop erty would violate church-state separation and be unconstitu tional. In their letter, the min isters cited a portion of Article )fl, Section 3. of the New York Constitution which, they said, forbids the state from allowing its property to be used by schools under the direction of any religious denomination.
