The occasion, first of its kind in Atlanta, is the Week of Pray er for Christian Unity. Eight religious groups are in volved including, Baptist, Catho lic, Episcopal, Greek Orthodox, Interdenominational, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian. Each groups will host services each evening of the week-long ob servance. MINISTERS, PRIESTS andbis- hops of the several denominations will take part in each pray er service for the continued growth of Christian unity. The joint endeavor of churches of different traditions reflect the increasing desire in this area of Christians to pray for unity re gardless of their differences on questions involving faith. ‘The plan of prayer for eight of our churches is a breakthrough that marks Atlanta as solid and venturesome in her spiritual quest as it is in its civic pro gress,” said Archbishop Halli nan. HE SAID, “But a breakthrough counts for little unless it is fill ed up with the presence and wit ness of Christian people. Clergy men can plan, but only the people can make such a venture come alive. I urge our Catholic peo ple to joinwithOrthodoxand Pro testants in this dynamic thrust for religious unity. "It is modem Christianity’s only proper answer to those who would divide God into denomina tions or who would bury him as no longer relevant to our daily concern." The Rev. Paul J. Craven, pas tor, Jackson Hill Baptist Church said, ‘The week of prayer for Christ Unity affords to all who bear the name Christian, an ex cellent opportunity meeting in our various churches for prayer and fellowship and will say to the world that while there are differ ences in our traditions, we all take our stand at the cross and proclaim to a united world, the Lordship of Christ." HE SAID, "I anticipate this week with much gladness.” The service order at the Cathe dral of Christ the King includes the entrance hymn, ‘To Jesus Christ Our Sovereign King"; opening prayer and recitation of Psalm 100: The sisters of Christ the King Cathedral School will then lead the congre gation in singing Psalm99’sAn- tiphon after each verse by the congregation; two readings of scripture, the book of Isaiah, Chapter 53.-12 and St. Paul’s letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 2.-10-18; a brief meditation and . RARE IN HISTORY VATICAN CITY (RNS)—An event rare in Vatican history took place on the Feast of the Epiphany when Pope Paul VI ordained 62 new priests from 23 missionary countries in St. Peter’s Basilica. In a talk during the ceremony, the pontiff said the mass ordi nation, "taking place so soon after the Second Vatican Coun cil is almost a revelation of its spirit, a confirmation of its hope, the beginning of its appli cation and an indication of its first fruits." “We are," he said, "per forming this ordination on the Feast of the Epiphany, a mar velous anniversary that allows us to celebrate the manifesta tion among men of God, In visible and Ineffable.. . ‘THERE ARE 62 young dea cons receiving this ordination who come from 23 countries that we call missionary. This adjective is used because it in dicates the special conditions of the Church there, as well as the principles, the efforts, the heroism, the risks, the inno cence, the humility, and the evangelical charity which set sermon by Archbishop Halli nan. The Archbishop will lead the congregation in a litany for unity. This will be followed by the Lord’s Prayer and blessing. The recessional hymn will be "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." apart the missionaries working there," The Pope said the Sacrament of Ordination "confers new powers that are transcendant and divine. These make the priestly ministry the instru ment of the supernatural action of God and place the priest in a position of service in rela tion to the bishops, the Church and the people of God.” DANTE ALIGHIERI (1265- 1321), who has been honored this past year marking the 706th anniversary nf his birth. NEW YORK (RNS)—Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop, of New York, denied here that there is any link between the archdiocese and the priest who founded the controversial Catholic Traditionalist Move ment. And he emphasized that he has not granted permission for Father Gommar DePauw of Baltimore to establish national CTM headquarters in New York City. The movement opposed much Vatican II action on lit urgical reform, particularly the use of the vernacular in the Mass. Father Gommar DePauw, is still a priest of the Baltimore archdiocese as far as the arch diocese knows, a spokesman said. "No documents have come from Rome to indicate other wise,” the spokesmansaid(Jan. 11), and Lawrence Cardinal She- han has not signed any docu ment of excardination (trans fer) out of the archdiocese. Cardinal Shehan has taken the position, according to spokesmen, that he is prepared to cooperate in Father De Pauw’s transfer provided the priest is able to obtain incardi- nation into a diocese where he will be able to exercise an active priestly ministry. The Belgian-born priest re ported at a recent press con ference here that he had Vati can permission to transferfrom the Baltimore See to the Diocese of Tivoli, Italy, which would permit him to return to New York, to reassume leader ship of the movement. After that press conference, the Archdiocese of Baltimore announced that no word had been received from the Vatican on the priest’s application for trans fer. Cardinal Spellman’s state ment to the press constituted a strong affirmation of liturgical reform. A news dispatch from Tivoli tended to imply, he said, "that I like the Catholic Tradi tionalist Movement." He said that his record on liturgical reform is "sufficient commentary” to correct that impression. The cardinal point ed to his early pastoral direct ing that liturgical changes be carried out faithfully in all parishes and to the scope of vernacular use throughout the archdiocese. Cardinal Spellman said that "whatever the connection bet ween Father DePauw and the Diocese of Tivoli, I did not recommend Father DePauw for transfer into that or any other diocese." The cardinal’s statement compounded the mystery in volving the CTM’s founder, who, in early Spring, was directed by Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore, his superior, to dis associate himself from the movement the archbishop held Bishop Perry Day Proclaimed LAKE CHARLES, LA. (NC) —Mayor James Sudduth pro claimed Jan. 8 as "Bishop Perry Day” in Lake Charles, honoring the first native of this city to be elevated to the Ca tholic hierarchy. to be not in the “best interest” of the Church in the U.S. Father DePauw said he had been transferred to Tivoli; the Archdiocese of Baltimore had no word on the transfer. He said he would establish CTM headquarters in New York— which drew the denial of Cardi nal Spellman. And the Bishop of Tivoli, key prelate in the,, transfer, was quoted as saying he knew the priest only “vague ly” and he had acted because it was with the (persumed) agreement of Cardinal Spell man. The Archbishop of New York spoke out to newsmen following publication of an AP dispatch 1 quoting Bishop Luigi Faveri of Tivoli. The bishop said he had endorsed Father DePauw’s re quest for transfer from Balti more upon the recommendation of Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly the Holy Office). «. According to the Italian bis hop, Cardinal Ottaviani “sum moned me one day, introduced me to Father DePauw and re commended him to me on be half of Cardinal Spellman. “Cardinal Ottaviani explain ed to me 'that Father DePauw was at variance with Cardinal Shehan but that, nevertheless, Cardinal Shehan praised him as a good priest. Cardinal Ot taviani asked me to,take Father DePauw under jurisdiction and I agreed without .hesitation.” He added: “I know that Cardi nal Spellman likes him (Father DePauw) and the movement he leads, but 1 don’t know much about the movement.” The AP report also quoted Bishop Faveri as saying: “I spoke briefly with Father De Pauw. He told me the would come to Tivoli one aay and set tle down to learn Italian. But he said he was going back to resume his activities in agree ment with Cardinal Spellman. I have no contact with him now.” Father DePauw has been highly critical of liturgical changes in the U.S. He has described the “English mass,” accompanied by congregational singing, as “no longer the sac rament of Calvary but a song- fest with the overtones of a hootenanny.” When Cardinal Shehan direct ed the priest to disassociate himself from the movement last Spring, Father DePauw turned the reins of * the organization over to a "Father X,” never subsequently officially identi fied. New Bishop For Texas WASHINGTON (NC)~Pope Paul VI has named Msgr. Thomas Tschoepe, 50 vicar general of the diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth, to be the Bishop of San Angelo, Texas. This action of the Holy Father was announced here by Arch bishop Egidio Vagnozzi, Apos tolic Delegate in the United States. Bishop-elect Tschoepe suc ceeds to a See left vacant by the transfer of Bishop Thomas J. Durry to the diocese of Cor pus Christi, Texas. Pope Paul Ordains 62 Mission Priests THE RECENTLY established parish of Our Lady of Carrollton, Ga„ is a recipient of funds from the Georgia Mission Sunday collections which will take place in churches in the archdiocese this week end. The parish church is shown here. WILL AID CHURCHES Georgia Mission Collection Sunday Over Archdiocese GEORGIA MISSION Collections will take place in all the Chur ches of the Archdiocese next Sunday, January 16. This collection enables the Archdiocese to maintain and finance churches and chapels in the developing areas of North Georgia. One of the beneficiaries of the collection is the new parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Carrollton, Ga. The church, dedicated in the spring of 1962 is a modern structure seating a total of about 300 persons. The pastor is the Rev. R ich- ard p. Morrow. History oi rue church in the Carrollton area dates back to the late 1800’s when Mass was FATHER MORROW said in a school house in Buda pest, Ga, IN THOSE days worshipers knelt on bare kneelers, sat on home made benches and on, wintry mornings huddled around a pot-bellied stove. The structure still stands. History says that the parish ioners at that time were Hun garians who migrated from the mining regions of Pennsylvania in 1893 and established them selves in the area, about four miles east of Tallapoosa, nam ing the settlement Budapest. It is recorded that a Catholic priest, Father Francis Janl- shek, guided the develbpmentof this community. Other groups from Ohio and various parts of the United States were attracted to this area and the new wine growing industry, in progress at that time. ST. PAUL AUXILIARY Bishop Backs ‘Judicious’ Protesting By Clergymen MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. (RNS) —A Catholic bishop who took part in the Selma, Ala., civil rights demonstrations lastyear has defended the right of clergy men to concern them selves with social injustice. However, Auxiliary Bishop James P. Shannon of St. Paul, in a talk here before the Steven son Club, emphasized that the clergy should use public pro test “carefully and judicious ly.” Massive protests are effec tive only when other means are ineffective, he said, adding: "You should never use a howi tzer when, you can get by with a flyswatter.” BISHOP SHANNON, president of the College of St. Thomas at St. Paul, said he had been accused by some critics of fos tering a disrespect for law among youth by going to Selma and speaking at a memorial service for the late Rev. James Reeb, Unitarian minister who was murdered there. What the clergy were trying to do in the demonstrations, he explained, was "to encourage r aspect for law — the supreme law of the land and the law of God.” In answer to those who say that the civil rights issue should be left to the courts, the bis hop noted that there had been "flagrant examples of mis carriage of justice in Southern states.” BISHOP SHANNON said a dis tinction should be m ade between the law reflected in the amend ments to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing Negroes certain rights and the law reflected in REV. DR. LUTHER A. WEIGLE, dean-emeritus of Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Conn., has been hon ored by Pope Paul VI with appointment as Knight of St. Gregory. local and state statutes which have had the effect of thwarting them. He reviewed major court de cisions regarding Negro rights and said the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision, in reversing the Court's 1883 ruling, held that a Negro’s social rights were not to be distinguished from his civil rights. It also upset local option laws which tried to do this. The bishop said that chur ches, in great part, had accep ted the status quo of local op tion after the 1883 decision and observed: "Our conscience should bother us collectively for the docile acceptance of the 1883 decision.” DESPITE SOME miscarri ages of justice in the South, it has been the courts — not the churches — which have led the current march for civil rights laws, he added. Bishop Shannon said there are some laymen who would like Catholic clergymen to be mere “sacristy priests," — to celebrate Mass and confine themselves tu worship and tea ching activities.
