WANTS NO CHANGE Cardinal Ottaviani Hits Birth Control Revision VATICAN CITY (RNS>—Vig orous opposition to any revision of the Catholic Church's tradi tional teaching on marriage and birth control was voiced at the Second Vatican Council by two of its top conservative mem bers. They were Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, who said "we should never forego the command con tained in Holy Scripture to 'in crease and multiply* *’; and Irish-born Michael Cardinal Browne, who stressed that "we have a body of certain doctrine concerning marriage coming from the magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church and the contribution of her theolo gians." CARDINAL Ottaviani, Secre tary of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, and Cai> dinal Browne, a member of the Roman Curia, are president and vice-president, respectively, of the Council's Theological Com mission. Discussion of the sec tion of the schema on the Church in the Modern World dealing with marriage and family life found Cardinal Ottaviani, after a noticeable period of silence, resume his role as the Coun cil's top conservative spokes man. This role had been as sumed at the third session by Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini, Arch bishop of Palermo, Sicily, During the previous day's assembly, Cardinal Ruffini had risen to oppose strong pleas for a re-examination of the Church’s teaching on marriage and birth control made by Leo Jozef Cardinal Suenens of Bel gium, Paul-Emile Cardinal Leger of Canada, and Melkite Rite Patriarch Maximos IV Saigh of Antioch. CARDINAL Ottaviani said freedom granted by the schema to married couples to determine for themselves the number of children they would have "can not possibly be approved." fever he said, "the command contain ed in Holy Scripture to 'in crease and multiply.' This text is not in contradiction to the other text which speaks of man and wife as being two in one flesh." DECLARING that the freedom in deciding on the number of children — such as that pro posed in the schema — was ''unheard of in past ages," the cardinal said "there should never be any dubt as regards the providence of God and His loving interest and care." The cardinal here interjected a personal note by saying: "I only $229 50 will bu came from a family of 12 child ren. I was the tenth. My parents never doubted divine provi dence. .." HE concluded by saying that the text "insinuates that the Church has erred in the past on a grave moral problem, and any such insinuation is com pletely out of order." In stressing the Church’s tra ditional doctrine concerning marriage, Cardinal Browne agreed that no aspect of the grave problems confronting Catholic married couples to day should be neglected. HOWEVER, he asserted, "we must stress that the primary aim of marriage is the pro creation and education of child ren." He said that although "we must not lose sight of the other considerations of mutual help and the satisfaction of passions, we must also distinguish be tween what has been called a love of friendship and a love of concupiscence. In marriage, it is the love of friendship which insures the balance and joy of family life." "There are three goods in marriage, namely, procreation, mutual fidelity and the sanctity of the Sacrament," the cardinal added. ANOTHER conservative speak er opposing any change in the Church's traditional stand was Bishop Juan Hervas y Benet, Prelate Nullius of Ciudad Real, Spain, who told the Council that like Cardinal Ottaviani, he also came from a family of 12 child ren. "Although we were a working family, we always trusted in providence," he said.The Span ish prelate was spokesman for 126 prelates of several nations. BISHOP Hervas said that the schema, although basically /J5S&M8SW# ^ reflect the undue influence of one- view point among many. "It has," he said, "apparent ly considered only those large sections of the population which are beset with difficulties.This is not the whole picture. We find po mention here of the influence of supernatural life, trust in providence, acceptance of the cross. "It should not be forgotten that this is not a sociological or psychological document, but a pronouncement of a Christian ecumenical council. Hence we must provide a positive vision, praising virtues and offering our encouragement to married Stenorette THE WORLD’S MOST APPRECIATED DICTATING SYSTEM PHONE TODAY FOR DEMONSTRATION WITHOUT OBLIGATION HYNES COMPANY 172 WHITEHALL STREET, S.W.

"Large families," he add ed, "are also fruitful sources of priestly and religious voca tions. A word of praise should be put in the text for large families as examples of faith and virtue. This should be done without any trace of triumpha lism or any pessimism," Rising to support the liberal views expressed at the previous day's assembly was Bernard Cardinal Alfrink, Archbishop of Utrecht, Holland, who said "all priests engaged in the ministry are well aware o f the marital problems of those faithful of goodwill who come for advice (in regard to family limitation)." 'THESE difficulties," he said, "are often the cause of persons leaving the Church and the spiritual struggle which this entails can eventually weaken even the basic human values of conjugal love. "We must remember that there is frequently a conflict between the values of conjugal love and the values of the prop er education of children. If the couples safeguard the biological finality of their love, they may run counter to other important values on the contrary, they concentrate on education and other values, then the only solu tion to their problem is com plete periodic abstinence. CARDINAL Alfrink cautioned that while "the increasing knowledge of the differences be tween the sexes is raising many question in the moral order, the Church cannot afford to rush in to solutions. She must guard the purity of divine laws at the same time as she safeguards human values." * f * - ' *T Other speakers at the 113th general congregation, and the points they stressed were: BISHOP Francisco Rendeiro of Faro, Portugal: 'The state must safeguard family life from irreverent treatment by radio, television and motion pictures. The Council should denounce the dangers of seaside resorts, which are a great source of evil, especially for youth." Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Mainz, Germany: 'The schema expresses the great signifi cance of conjugal life. This gives it its specific characte ristic, which can never be lost sight of." Bishop Pietro Fiordelli of Prato, Italy: 'The Council should make a statement on re sponsible fatherhood because of the increasing number of abor tions." He added that illegiti mate children are often "de prived of both a name and a sound home." TWO African prelates — Archbishop Bernard Yago of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and Bis hop Joseph Nkongolo of Luebo, Congo — warned the Council that polygamy was sweeping Africa and making large in roads even in Christian com munities. Accordingly, they asked the Council Fathers to consider the plight of thousands of African women who were being for- 'ced into polygamous relations without their consent, THE African bishops had other bad news for the Council: They said divorce was spread ing alarmingly in Africa, and more among Christians than pagans. By a standing vote, the Coun cil Fathers agreed to end dis cussion of the section on mar riage and the family, and to proceed to debate the section of the schema dealing with the proper promotion of culture.

URGE COUNCIL Condemn In All Its Racism Forms VATICAN CfTY (NC)—In the name of all the American Bis hops in Rome for the ecumeni cal council, Archbishop Patrick A, O'Boyle of Washington urged the council to add a "forth right and unequivocal condem nation of racism in all its forms" to the schema on the Church in the modern world. Racism is to be found through out the world in some form and to some degree, the prelate told the 11th general council meet ing (oct. 28). with the principle task of the Christian today, heard another powerful denunciation of racial discrimination from Bishop An drew G, Grutka of Gary, Ind. He branded it a "challenge to Divine Providence." Some form of hate or disre spect can be found in every act of racial segregation, Bishop Grutka said. Every form of racial segre gation and discrimination should be denounced with the HE characterized racism as U s ‘ ren S th of the trumpets of Jeri- "first and foremost a moral and religious problem, and one of staggering proportions." He said a clear-cut condem nation of all forms of racial in justice is the "very least" the council should undertake. Archbishop O’Boyle propos ed adding a "separate section in chapter four (of the schema) on the problem of racial discrimi nation and other forms of racial injustice." THE same debate on chapter' four of the schema, which deals cho, he declared. -A'/ HE singled out segregation in housing as a special evil. Decent housing is indispensable for good family life, he said, and the family is the foundation of so ciety. "No one would look for beauty on a garbage dump, and no one can expect virtue in a slum," he declared, repeating this sentence in English for emphasis and clarity. The work of priests is sty-' mied whrn people flee a neigh borhood at the first sign that families of another race are seeking homes there, he said. r ATLANTA, GA. (RNS) — A college educator and a rabbi disagreed here on the role pub lic schools should have in fos tering religious and moral val ues. Dr. Arthur W. Foshay of Columbia University's Teach ers College said the need to teach these values in public schools is "greatly increased by the conflicting tempers of our times." RABBI Alfred L. Goodman of Columbus, Ga., said that while along with Dr. Foshay he was "anxious to see morality, ethics, manners and taste im proved and promoted," the teaching of spiritual values “must continue to be the re sponsibility of home, church and synagogue." Both spoke at a concluding session of an Institute on Pub lic Education and Religion. At tended by some 100 clergymen, educators and laymen, the in stitute was sponsored by units of Emory University and the University of Georgia, in co operation with the National Con ference of Christians and Jews Religious Freedom and Public Affairs Project. Dr. Foshay called for deve lopment of “thorough and well- conceived curriculum ma terials in the field of teaching about religion" in the public schools, as well as the testing of spiritual values. He urged creation of “the kind of public discussion of the importance of teaching these that is the necessary prerequi site in our democracy for the development of any public con sensus." In opposing courses about religion in the schools, Rabbi Goodman claimed they were “unwise, unwanted and unwar ranted." “IF OUR children are fail— ing r to -receive proper instruc tion in spiritual values it is unfair to charge the public schools with this failure," he said, “and in my opinion un necessary to add another in gredient to the pressure cooker in which school administrators constantly stew, by attempting to introduce courses about re ligion into our school system." Dr. Foshay cautioned that “if the time ever comes when people play it cool about re ligion, we can be sure that our society will come unstuck."

News Service) Following is a general outline of what the average Sunday low Mass in th^A-a’fcn Rite may be like as of March 7, thPfirst Sunday of Lent. The outline does not include congrega tional singing, which may total four or five hymns, or posture of the congregation. It is subject to variations decided upon by in dividual dioceses or regions. SERVICE OF THE WORLD Prayers at the foot of the altar: The celebrant and servers will say in Latin the confiteor and other verses. Omitted will be Psalm 42 which begins. “Judica me Deus . . . Judge me, O God.” Introit: This will be in English. It can be said by the priest or used as an entrance prayer by the people, lector or choir. The Kyrie: This will be an English dia logue between priest and people.

Epistle, Gradual, Gospel: All will be in English facing the congregation. Diversity is available but the most common practice probably will be a lector reading the Epistle and Gradual while the priest is seated to the I side °f the altar. The Gospel will be read by I, the celebrant and he can do this from the altar, the pulpit or the edge of the sanctuary area near the communion rail. Homily: A sermon is required on all Sundays and major feasts. The preacher preferably will explain some aspects of the day’s reading from Holy Scripture or an other text from the Ordinary or Proper of the Mass.

He said there is no public consensus on the issue at this time and “every evi dence of a seriously divisive public anxiety on the topic.” “IF WE teach about religion, and leave it at that, it will seem only to matter politically and culturally," the educator said. “But if we teach this material and at the same time teach values that we all hold, it will became apparent that religion matters not only poli tically and culturally, but mo rally and spiritually as well." Dr. Foshay summed up by declaring that "we are called DISPLACED PERSONS upon noi only to decide what values we wish to teach, and to teach them, but to produce a climate in the school and out of it that is consistent with the values we promote.” RABBI Goodman told the in stitute that courses about re ligion or the teaching of spirit ual values in schools are mean ingless to children unless they can see adults practicing these values every day. “We can add course upon course to our school curricula in values, in religion and about religion," he said, “but until children see that these values mean something to us, until they see a pattern of morality used as a guide to practical living, these courses will be a- bout as meaningful as English literature to a chimpanzee.” He observed that “when you and I are truly determined what values we want our children to have, they will have them. They will have them in the public school, they will see them prac ticed in the home, they will learn them in the church and synagogue, and the whole com munity will be infused with their influence.” Pope Praises UNO Commission’s Work VATICAN CITY (RNS)—Pope Paul VI, addressing leaders of the United Nations Commission for Refugees, had warm praise for the agency’s “Christian and humanitarian” work and ex pressed “deep grief” over the problem of the remaining dis placed persons in the world today. Speaking to delegates in Rome for a meeting of the com mission's Executive Com mittee, the Pope told them: “You have been able to pre serve the l'lves of millions of unfortunate human beings over the ten years of your existance as a public body. “MAY this work go forward and your faith in a just cause help you to overcome the in evitable difficlties you will en counter.” The pontiff observed that any effort on behalf of refugees "is of its very nature diffi cult because it must include legal, economic, medical and even psychological assistance, let alone educatuon and training for new employment." POPE Paul went on to re call that he had first come face-to-face with the refugee problem while at the Vatican Secretariat of State, and "from the very start took keen in terest" in the establishment of the refugee commission and its growth. "We discharged the wise in structions given to us then by our unforgettable predecessor, Pius XII, for the benefit of suffering humanity," he said. The pontiff added that the work ^ of the commission and other voluntary'"agencftY 76 r assist and resettle refugees was a "source of great consolation" to him. Unpaid Holiday TOTOWA, N. J.
