FORMER GEORGIA PRIEST
Bishop Walsh Marks
His Golden Jubilee
BISHOP EMMETT M. Walsh,
bishop of Youngstown, Ohio, and
former Georgia priest observed
the Golden Jubilee of his or
dination to the priesthood Sat
urday, January 15.
Fifty years ago Bishop Walsh
was ordained a priest by the late
Bishop Benjamin Keiley in the
Cathedral of St. John the Bap
tist, Savannah.
Born March 6, 1892 in Beau
fort, S.C., Bishop Walsh was
the eighth of eleven children
of Wilhelmina Jennerman
Walsh, a native New Yorker and
Thomas F. Walsh of Charles
ton.
Following his ordination, Fa
ther Walsh was assigned as an
assistant pastor at the Church
of the Immaculate Conception,
mother church of Atlanta.
After other assignments he
returned to Immaculate Con
ception in 1922 first as admini
strator and later as pastor.
He remained there until his
appointment by Pope Pius XI
as the sixth bishop of the 107-
year-old diocese of Charleston
BISHOP WALSH
which embraces all of South
Carolina,
Over the 22 years the peo
ple of the Charleston diocese
never lost their enthusiasm for
Bishop Walsh. Their support
was his and with it he built
25 churches and four hospitals.
In September 1949, Bishop
Walsh was named coadjutor
Bishop to Bishop James Mc-
Fadden of Youngstown, Ohio
and when Bishop McFadden died
in 1952 he became Bishop of
Youngstown.
POPE WIRES CARDINAL
Prayers Offered
For Polish Unity
VATICAN errY— Pope Paul
VI has sent a message to Stefan
Cardinal Wyszynski, Primate of
Poland, offering prayers for
"serenity of hearts, peace and
the spiritual unity of the (Po
lish) nation."
The telegram was sent (Jan.
14) in connection with cere
monies here that marked the
opening celebration of Poland's
Christian millennium.
It was addressed to Cardinal
Wyszynski who had planned to
be present for the ceremonies
but who was refused a visa at
the last minute by the commu
nist government because of al
leged "activities against the
state."

NEWSMEN WARN
Fear Church Press
Policy Restriction
MUNICH (NC)~Catholic jour
nalists from eight European
countries warned here that de
spite the more open approach
to the press developed by the
Church during the ecumenical
council, "a restrictive press
policy could return."
They urged that all Vatican of
fices and postconciliar bodies
maintain a frank and open policy
and provide all information nec
essary for full press coverage
of Church affairs.
The 120 newsmen who met
here (Jan. 10-12) also call
ed on the individual bishops*
conferences to provide financial
support for information bur
eaus and Catholic press agen
cies. And they said that re
gional and national episcopal
conferences must develop fuller
cooperation with the press.
BISHOP Stefan LaszloofEis-
enstadt, Austria, in a speech to
the journalists agreed with their
point that the flow of Church
news must be expanded rather
than restricted. At the same
time he called for coordination
between Catholic newsman, de
claring that they have a duty to
serve as interpreters of the
constitutions and decrees of
Vatican II.

NELSON, B.C. (RNS)—Notre
Dame University here plans to
establish a course in Protes
tant theology to be taught by
Father James R. Heame, Ang
lican Vicar of Kekanee.
The journalists taking part in
the meeting were from Ger

tria and northern Italy.

‘AN ABUSE OF THE TRUTH 9
Cardinal Ottaviani Denies
He Backed Traditionalists
VATICAN CITY (RNS)—The
controversial Catholic Tradi
tionalist Movement in the Uni
ted States—and its founder, Fa
ther Gommar DePauw of Balti
more — has sustained major
setbacks to its campaign against
liturgical change.
Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani,
secretary of the Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith
(formerly the Holy Office), said
here that the movement cannot
claim his support or that of
the Holy See.
And in Tivoli, a suburban
diocese outside Rome. Bishop
Luigi Faveri was reported to
have announced that he would
not accept Father DePauw as
a priest of his diocese.
THE BELGIAN-bom leader
of the Traditionlists had an
nounced in New York that he
had been incardinated as a
priest of the Tivoli diocese,
with permission to remain in
the U.S. and lead the conserva
tive movement from headquar
ters in New York.
According to a Holy Office
Staff members, Bishop Faveri
has never received a formal
request for incardination and
has decided against accepting
the priest in any cae.
Thus, within a few hours,
the inference of Vatican sup
port of the Traditionalist priest
and his means of resuming the
campaign in the U.S. were re
moved.
FATHER DEPAUW, at least
temporarily, remains a priest
of Ae Baltimore archdiocese.
His superior, Lawrence Car
dinal Shehan, last Spring direc
ted the priest to disassociate
himself from the movement
which, the cardinal said, was
“not in the best interests" of
the Church in the U.S. Cardinal
Shehan has given him leave to
arrange any transfer he can
make.
After discussing the matter
with Cardinal Shehan during the
Vatican Council — the Ameri
can Prince of the Church had ex
pressed his willingness to per
mit the priest to transfer to an
other See Cardinal Ottaviani
assisted Father DePauw, who
sought transfer to the tiny Ti
voli diocese. There, presum
ably, he was to be a working
priest, but one, so Cardinal Ot
taviani was informed, to be
granted a leave of absence for
"reasons of study in America."
IN EFFECT, Cardinal Otta-

FIDENE, Italy Pope Paul VI offered Christmas Mass at the church of this Roman sub
urb, and accepted a gift of this baby lamb from the grateful parishioners. The Holy
Father promised that a local child will be among the children he plans to invite to the
Vatican to be his guests at lunch on Epiphany (Jan. 6).
TO ‘NATIONAL SOCIAL WEEK 9
Vatican Letter Condemns
Cardinal Ottaviani’s com- # # «
Unlimited type Capitalism
during an interview given to Fa- J a. JL
ther Edward J. Duff, S.J., spe
cial correspondent for Reli
gious News Service.
The cardinal recognized that
considerable controversy and
confusion had been caused in
the U.S by recent news accounts
of Father DePauw’s activities.
And he was specific in the state
ment he gave Father Duff.
"Any claim," he said, "that
Father DePauw has my support
or that of the Holy See for his
Catholic Traditionalist Move
ment is an abuse of the truth."
Thus the man who has been
the guiding spirit of the Holy
Office for more than six years
set straight the status in Rome
of the movement which opposes
many of the changes in the li
turgy, and in particular use of
the vernacular In the Mass.
BECAUSE FATHER DePauw
had conferred with Cardinal
Ottaviani and reported he had
an audience with Pope Paul VI,
it was widely construed that his
return to CTM leadership con
stituted a sort of imprimatur
issued by the Vatican.
Cardinal Ottaviani told Fa
ther Duff that his contact with
Father DePauw was entirely
personal —— an effort to help
a priest who said he felt un
comfortable in the Baltimore
archdiocese. This is in keeping
with the cardinal's pastoral
character, his ready availabi
lity to priests in difficulty.
VATICAN CrTY—A Vatican
letter to the third National So
cial Week in Chile pointed out
that past popes have condemned
unlimited capitalism and those
who maintain that economics
are strictly matters of personal
interest.
The letter in Spanish was sent
by Amleto Cardinal Cicognani,
Papal Secretary of State, to Raul
Cardinal Silva Henriquez of
Santiago for the Social Week,
which has for its theme "Pri
vate Property."
The letter notes that many
countries are now faced with
large propulation growth while
their economic systems are in
adequate to meet the needs of
the times. There are also in
justices in the state of many

agricultural and industrial
workers in some countries, it
added.
THEREFORE, the letter stat
ed, it is good to study private
property in the light of contem
porary conditions. Pope Pius
XII severely condemned a theory
of property which blocks a coun
try’s efforts to rememdy the
evils which afflict it, the letter
continued.
Capitalism, which would at
tribute a limitless right to prop
erty, as well as those who re
gard economics as being at the
exclusive service of private in
terests, have been condemned
by Popes Pius XII, John XIII
and Paul VI as well as the ecu
menical council's Constitution
on the Church in the Modern
World.
However, the letter noted,
‘ “the obstinacy with which some
defend a purely selfish concep
tion of property is all the more
to be deplored if we remember
that the juridical institution of
private property has been
strongly asserted by Catholic
social doctrine.
"IN FACT, a justly ordered
system of privateproperty ser
ves to promote dignity and lib
erty. But its juridical system,
whatever it may be, can be sus
tained solely when it favors such
distribution of the nation’s rich
es as to assure to each and all
the share due to him."
The letter pointed out that in
some circumstances it is nec
essary that legitimate authority
intervene to expropriate pri
vate property for the common
good,, but always avoiding the
extreme of abolishing in prac
tice the right to property.
"Experience shows that every
reform must be studied before
hand and with great thought in
the light of wisdom and politi
cal prudence and that it must
be accompanied by those in-
depensible measures which
guarantee its success and ef
fectiveness.”
