CARDINAL OTTAVIANI
‘Didn’t Support
Traditionalists’

viani recommended him to Bis
hop Faveri of Tivoli, who was
willing to accept him as a
priest of the diocese. The pro
cess of transfer was, of course,
not the cardinal’s responsibi
lity.
Some confusion began at that
point. The Archdiocese.of Balti
more on Jan. 6 announce it had
received no documents, from
either Tivoli or Rome, esta
blishing the transfer.
This, some felt, Could large
ly have been a matter of ad
ministrative routine, the pre
paration of documents. Now
Bishop Faveri announces he had
never received a formal appli
cation for incardination and
would not accept Father De-
Pauw.
MSGR. HENRY P. Cosgrove
of Brooklyn, a member of the
staff of the Holy Office, who
accompanied Father Duff to
the interview with Cardinal Ot-
taviani, feels that Americans
overplay the incardination pro
cess.
“Europeans,”-he said, “take
a much more casual view of
incardination than we do in the
United States.”
In an announcement in New
York, shortly after arriving
there recently, Father DePauw
wrote that "I am now a ca
nonically incardinated priest of
the diocese of Tivol—Rome, a
diocese directly subject to the
Holy See.”
man “liked” the movement.
Cardinal Spellman issued a
statement to the press in which
he stated that he had had no
dealings with the reported
transfer of Father DePauw to
Tivoli. He also made plain that
he had no liking for the CTM,
pointing out the liturgical chan
ges that had been installed in
the diocese. (In this connection,
a Jesuit liturgist, Father C.J.
McNaspy, said in a recent in
terview tharCardinal Spellman
had done a “fantastically
thorough” job of training pas
tors and priests in promoting
the liturgical changes authori
zed by Vatican IL
Father DePauw, on leave
from the Baltimore archdio
cese, has been in New York
since his return from Europe.
On the evening before the de
velopments here and in Tivoli,
he was heard on CBS Radio’s
“World of Religion,” in which
he referred to some ecumeni
cal activities in the U.S. as
“ecumania.”
HE CHARGED that the Sees
of Joseph Cardinal Ritter,
Archbishop of St. Louis, and
Cardinal Shehan were examples
of places where “excessive
ecumenism” had become “ecu
mania.”
Father DePauw also said that
Pope Paul was badly advised
by “some of the palace guards”
in deciding to say Mass partly
in Latin and partly in English
at Yankee Stadium, Oct. 4, du
ring his visit to New York.
This sentence further added
to the inference that the Vatican
itself showed interest in the
Catholic Traditionalist Move
ment.
Tivoli is not directly under
the Holy See, Vatican City ob
servers say, except in the
sense that, along with many
other Rome suburban diocese,
it does not belong to a distinct
ecclesiastical province under
an archbishop. The Bishop of
Tivoli is as independent in his
diqcese^as aqy other Ordinary
(rSidenTFisKbp).
THE CONTINUING develop
ments naturally caused specu
lation about the stand of Fran
cis Cardinal Spellman, Arch
bishop of New York. Father De
Pauw had said that he would es
tablish CTM headquarters in
that city. A news agency report
carreied a quotationfrom Rome
indicating that Cardinal Spell-

Race Bias Near ‘Heresy’
According To Theologian

Baltimore Prelate Voices
Appeal For Fair Housing
WASHINGTON (NC) — The
Vatican council itself should be
an example of the proper atti
tude of Catholics toward inter
racial injustice, Father Francis
Connell, C.SS.R,, moral theolo
gian and dean for religious com
munities at the Catholic Univer
sity of America told priests and
nuns here (Jan. 12). He sug
gested that racial discrimina
tion may even be heresy.
"The Second Vatican Coun
cil,” he said, “in many of its
decrees has proclaimed that all
men are equal in the eyes of
God and of the Catholic Church,
whatever may be their race or
nationality or color. Day after
day at the council, bishops of
every race and every nationali
ty mingled and conversed with
one another without any trace
of discrimination*” j. u,
‘*Todayy*’^ -he* said, “the '
Church appeals earnestly to all
her members, clergy, Religious
and laity, to do their part to
ward abolishing from the face
of the earth the venomous spir
it of prejudice and injustice in
volved in every manifestation
of racial discrimination.”
FATHER CONNELL spoke- at
the “Holy Hour for Religious”
NEW YORK (NC)—A quar
terly journal to foster better
relations and understanding be
tween U.S. Orthodox and Ro

appear later this month.
Called "Diakonia,” the Greek
word for service, it is to be the
work of members of the Ford-
ham University John XXIII Cen
ter for Eastern Christian Stu
dies and of Orthodox co-editors.
It will feature documentation,
news coverage, reviews of lea
ding articles, along with ori
ginal articles by experts in the
ecumenical dialogue between
Catholics and Orthodox.

S.J., head of the John XXIII
Center; Thomas Bird, profes
sor of Russian Studies atQueens

at the National Shrine of the Im
maculate Conception. He said
that for Christians the basic evil
of racial discrimination stems
from its implied rejection of
certain fundamental and divine
truths. "Does it not well nigh
imply heresy when a Catholic
judges any other human being as
inferior to himself because of
his different ancestry or the dif
ferent color of his skin?’’ he
said.
Father Connell said that in
the Catholic doctrine ofthe Holy
Eucharist, Christ Himself re
futed racial discrimination.
"He has given His flesh and
blood under the appearances of
bread and wine to be the food
and drink of all His faithful fol
lowers without regard to such
unimportant qualifications as
racial oif national’ diversity .He
has not established one type of
Eucharistic banquet for the
white and another for the color
ed.”
He asked how any Catholic
can approach to receive Holy
Communion if he nourishes in
his soul any feeling of resent
ment or scorn toward a fellow
man, “merely because he is
different in race or color.”

Father connell said that
the methods of public demon
strations and marches as pro
tests against racial discrimi
nation are "perfectly permis
sible and can be beneficial, as
long as they avoid lawlessness
and violence,”
He said, however, that from
the Catholic standpoint, “a
very effective method is also
fervent prayer that throughout
our land the spirit of interracial
justice and charity may grow,
for this is a spirit that is de
manded both by our American
heritage and by our Catholic
faith.”
PHILADELPHIA — The can
onization caused of Blessed
John Neumann, fourth Bishop of
Philadelphia and first U. S. male
citizen to be beatified, will open
in Rome late this month.
This was disclosed here after
Archbishop John J. Krol of Phil
adelphia, Bishop Neumann’s
sixth successor, announced that
formal petitions had been sent
to Pope Paul VI for opening the
cause.
Archbishop Krol spoke at the
local observance of the feast
day of Blessed John Neumann
after he celebrated Mass in
St. Peter’s church, where the
bishop’s remains are buried
under the main alter.
IT WAS NECESSARY to pe
tition officially for opening of
the cause since, with the offi
cial proclamation of Bishop
Neuman”s beatification by Pope
Paul on Oct. 13,1963, the origi
nal cause automatically came
Bishop Links
To Canon Unit
■\ WASHINGTON (NC)--Bishop
Ernest J. Primeau of Man
chester, N.H., has been appoint
ed as the first episcopal liai
son between the U.S. bishops
and the Canon Law Society of
America.
The prelate, who hold degrees
in both theology and canon law,
was named to the post by the ad
ministrative board of the Na
tional Catholic Welfare Con
ference, the U.S, bishops’ sec
retariat.
The appointment was hailed
by officials of the canon law so
ciety as making a strong con
tribution to the society’s ef
forts to update its organiza
tional structure and to parti
cipate in the rewriting of Church
laws which is being guided by
the Holy See.
BISHOP PRIMEAU is a mem
ber of the NCWC board, pres
ident-general of the National
Catholic Educational Associa
tion and Episcopal Moderator
of the National Federation of
Catholic College Students,
BALTIMORE (RNS) — Law
rence Cardinal Shehan, Arch
bishop of Baltimore, defied an
anonymous threat on his life
and became one of the highest
ranking American prelates ever
to appear before a government
body to appeal directly for en
actment of specific legislation.
The cardinal spoke before a
public hearing of the Baltimore
City Council to try and persuade
that body to enact an open oc
cupancy bill which it has twice
before defeated by narrow mar
gins.
Only an hour before Cardinal
Shehan was scheduled to speak,
the chancery office received an
anonymous call warning that the
cardinal might be shot if he ap
peared at the city’s War Me
morial Building to testify.
WHEN HE arrived, the cardi
nal was accompanied by two
uniformed policemen and the le
gal counsel for the Baltimore
diocese, Francis X. Gallagher.
The cardinal’s appearance
before the City Council under
scored the archdiocese’s deter-
m ination to join with other faiths
in leading the drive for fair
housing legislation in a city that
is more than one-third Negro.
When Cardinal Shehan step
ped before the microphones to
deliver his appeal, he was re
ceived with hisses, boos and
catcalls. Twice during the brief
speech Cardinal Shehan had to
pause to allow the echoing jeers
to settle before he could con
tinue.
MANY MEMBERS of the hea
vily Catholic City Council were
visibly shaken by the reception
given the prelate who appeared
at the hearing in the simple
black suit of a parish priest.
“I was startled and frighten
ed at the reception the cardinal
to a close.
Archbishop Krol disclosed
that a petition was sent to the
Pope last February on behalf of
the American bishops asking
the opening of the canonization
c ause. The bishops of the United
States and Canada were joined
in the petition by many other
prelates from other parts of
the world.
Another petition was sent to
Pope Paul in October by Josef
Cardinal Beran of Prague in
Cohemia, where Bisnop Neu
mann was born. Cardinal Be
ran wrote that resumption ofthe
cause would be a cause of joy
and consolation to the people of
Czechoslovakia.
In November a third petition
was sent to the Pope by Julius
Cardinal Doepfner of Munich
on behalf of 1,500 priests who
have been expelled from Bo
hemia and Moravia by the com
munists.
received,” said Councilman J.
Joseph Curran, a Catholic who
has consistently voted against
the legislation.
"I have nothing but the grea
test respect for him (the car
dinal). . .the treatment he re
ceived was terrible — it was
plain borishness.”
BUT DESPITE the cardinal’s
plea for open housing, many
Catholic Councilmen, while up
set by the crowd’s rudeness,
were openly critical of his sup
port for what they consider a
political and not a moral issue.
"It was a bad thing to bring
the cardinal down here,” said
William Bonnett, dean of the
Council. "This is not the kind
of an issue a clergyman should
get involved in, and besides his
remarks did not change any vo
tes.”
As usual, the debate before
the audience of 2,000 between
opponents and proponents of the
legislation was essentially one
of “property rights” versus
"individual rights.”
Cardinal Shehan told the
Councilmen of "the overwhelm
ing persuasive moral argu
ment” in support of the mea
sure which would prohibit dis
crimination }n the sale or rental
of houses and apartments of two
or more units.
And he warned them of "the
explosive potentialities of the
ghetto.”
THE CARDINAL said he fa
vored national pr state housing
laws, but rejected the idea of a
metropolitan law as unrealistic
in the light of the small Negro
populations in neighboring
counties.
Cardinal Shehan called upon
the City Council to give leader
ship to the counties by passing
fair housing legislation first.
"The legislative remedy,” he
said, “must be applied in the
areas where the social sickness
is most apparent.’
Leading the opposition to the
measure was Mrs. Faith Gos-
nell of the Catholic Anti-Com
munist League, who said she
was “the Catholic who has ex
communicated herself.”
MRS. GOSNELL accused
Cardinal Shehan of pursuing a
“double career as a priest and
politician and he is lousy at
both of them.”
Other clergymen who spoke
in favor of the measure were;
Episcopal Bishop Harry Lee
Doll of Maryland; Methodist
Bishop John Wesley Lord of
the Washington Area; Rabbi
Araham Shusterman of the
Baltimore Board of Rabbis; the
Very Rev. John N. Peabody,
president of the Maryland Coun
cil of Churches; and Frank Kau
fman, president of the Balti
more Jewish Council.
