Father Vicent Goldstein
By LEON PAUL.
I FIRST -MET Vincent when he came to New York from Glas
gow, Scotland, where he was born some 35 years ago. He had
become a Catholic only a few years before—In 1951—at Fatima.
He was all on fire with zeal very much like a young St. Paul
who had just found the Messiah and wanted
to tell the whole world about it.
Vincent came with a tall, lean fellow,
also a Scotsman from Glasgow, who was
responsible for Vincent's finding Christ and
the Church. His name was Jim Boyle. We
had some burning discussions about the
Jews, about converts, about Americans, and
about the Church—as it was ten years ago.
.In a few months Vincent and Jim went back
to Scotland.
The next time I saw Vincent was at a Trapplst monastery
in Massachusetts where I went for a retreat. Vincent was trying
to find himself, to find out what God wanted him to do. He had
some talks with Father Raphael Simon, a well-known Jewish
Catholic who wrote about his odyssey from Judaism to the
Church in "The Glory of TTiy People” (Macmillan Paperback,
1961).
After a few more adventures with the Blue Army and other
apostolates in the Church, Vincent finally disappeared. And the
next time I heard from him was when I received an invitation
to his ordination as an oblate of Mary Immaculate in Ottawa.
That was on December 19th 1964. Unfortunately • I couldn't
go.
BUT FATHER Vincent Goldstein came down to New York
last August (1965) to celebrate the annual Mass for Edith Stein and
her companions who were killed in Auschwitz by the Nazis.
It was at this Mass, which I served, that I saw how Vincent had
matured, how he had grown in wisdom, in speech and in grace.
As I watched him celebrate the Mass with such dignity and pre
cision, I marvelled at how wonderful are the ways of God, how
God led this young Gershom whose ancestors came from
Poland, to a knowledge of the Messiah, and into the New Israel.
One more member of Vincent's family also became a Catho
lic, his brother, Walter, who now lives in London with his wife
and two children. Vincent and Walter were both confirmed by
Bishop Fulton Sheen at Fatima—I remember seeing theirphoto-
graph in the Catholic press many years ago, never dreaming
that one day I would be serving Vincent's Mass in New YorkI
Father Goldstein did some parish work in various parts of
Canada, and lately has been giving retreats at the Star of the
North Retreat House near Edmonton in Alberta, way up above
Montana in northwest Canada. It was from this distance of some
2,500 miles that Father Goldstein came down to New York
during Holy Week to conduct a Paschal Meal Demonstration
for the Edith Stein Guild. About 250 people attended this during
Wednesday night of Holy Week, and partook of the matzoh and
the wine of the Passover Seder, and heard Father Goldstein's
explanation of the fulfillment of the Passover Seder by the Mass.
IN SOME OF our talks while he was down here Father Vincent
discussed with me his idea of the establishment of some kind of
a Jewish Rite within the ChurCh’. “A Jewwould like to come into
the Church 1 with ' all of his traditions, not betraying his past by
adopting the modes of Catholics in the area in which he happens
to be living," he said. "I don’t want to become an Irish Catholic.”
Of course, it is true that a Jew who becomes a Catholic
seems to have to give up all of his traditional cultural prac
tices, ,he can take very little of his rich and meaningful Jewish
life into the Church with him.
Then he finds that as a Catholic he says Jewish prayers;
he finds that many of his Catholic practices come from ancient
Jewish traditions; he finds himself praying to Saints who were
never Catholics, never anything but Jews; he finds that much
of what is meaningful to him as a Catholic, stems from his
own ancient Jewish heritage.
WOULD A JEWISH individual who becomes a Catholic be per
mitted to continue observing some of the beautiful and prayer
ful Jewish customs and feast days he knew before? Would a
Jewish Catholic be permitted to observe or commemorate the
Passover? Purim? Succoth? Hanukkah?
Would a Jew who becomes a Catholic be allowed to pray with
a "yarmulka” (skull cap)? Could he wear a "tallis” (Prayer
shawl)? Could he pray in Hebrew if this was his usual language
for prayer? Could he sing Hebrew melodies he learned from
i his parents? Father Goldstein raises some interesting questions.
I think they should be discussed. . .

World Theology Conference
N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE
OTTAWA—A world congress
on the theology of the renewal
of the Church will be held at the
University of Toronto next year
under the sponsorship of the Ca
tholic bishops of Canada, Arch
bishop Philip F. Pocock of To
ronto announced here.
The congress, which will run
from Aug. 20 to 25, 1967,foun
der the direction of the Toronto
Pontifical Institute and will
draw outstanding theologians
and scholars, both Catholic and
non-Catholic, from around the
world.
The congress is intended "to
supplement, extend and deepen
the considerations of Vatican
IL” It will probe the theolo
gical back-ground of such con
temporary issues as the sexual
revolution, the secular city, the
"God is dead” theology, the
population explosion and the
challenge to authority.
PROTESTANT THEOLOGIAN
Prospects Of Unity
Gets Estimation
CINCINNATI—Catholics and
Protestants may not sit together
at the Lord's table yet, but
"there’s no reason why we can
not sit together at the city plan
ner's table,” Dr. Robert Mac
Afee Brown, Presbyterian theo
logian, said here.
"We may disagree about the
doctrine of the Assumption, but
we certainly agree on the doc
trine that all men are created
equal,” he told (April 18) a
Xavier University Forum au
dience.
Dr. Brown, professor of re
ligion at Stanford University and
.one of die first Protestant ob
servers at the Second Vatican
Council, said the documents of
the council point to many possi
bilities of common action for
Protestants and Catholics, par
ticularly in the areas of social
justice.
HE ALSO emphasized the
challenge of the council to Pro
testants as well as Catholics to
make a "radical reassess
ment” of their relations to
themselves and to the world.
Protestants will have "failed
to hear the voice of the Holy
Spirit through Vatican IF* un
less they understand that "for
almost every item considered
at the council, there is a Pro
testant counterpart to be
examined,” he said.
Calling for a "fresh and ra
dical look” atthe structural life
of the churches, he said: "Many
things in our churches are,
carryover from an older day and
need to be re - evaluated and
maybe reformed.”
HE CITED the obligationof
churches to experiment in pas
toral work "even when it doesn't
pay off in statistics and fin
ances,” and to find new ways
to reach the poor, hungry, and
oppressed.
Dr. Brown said Protestants
will have to try tounderstand not
only the hopes of Catholics who
welcomed the council and the
renewal it brings, but also the
fears of Catholics who have
Teen “unnerved” by it.
THE 1,800 PARTICIPANTS
expected will Include clergy,
business and professional men,
independent scholars and ar
tists and “Interested people
from every quarter where theo
logical issues have depth and
relevance.”
Among those who have ac
cepted invitations to read pa
pers are:
Leo Cardinal Suenens of Ma-
lines - Brussels, Belgium;
Franzfokus Cardinal Koenig of
Vienna; Archbishop Gabriel
Garrone, pro - perfect of the
Congregation pi Seminaries and
Universities; Abbot Chris
topher Butler of Downside, Eng
land.
FATHER BERNARD Haerlng,
C.SS.R., of Academia Alphon-
siana, Rome; Yves Congar, O.
P., of Strasbourg; Cbdfrey
Diekmann, O. S. B., editor of
Worship magazine, and Edward
Schillebeeckx, O.P., of the Uni
versity of Nijmegen.
Some of the non-Catholics to
attend are Dr. Albert C. Out-
ler, professor of theology at
Southern Methodist University;
Jaroslav Pelikan of Yale's Di
vinity School; and Langdon Gil-
key of Chicago.
Two national assocations, the
Canadian Religious Conference
and the Social Life Conference,
have announced they will sche
dule their 1967 meetings to
coincide with the congress so
they may meet jointly.
Archbishop Pocock, announc
ing the details (April 19) at a
press conference here, predict
ed the congress will be "the
greatest event In theology ever
to take place on the North
American continent.”

Vestment
Changes
HONG KONG (RNS)— Radical
changes of "Mass colors "have
been authorized by Roman Cath
olic authorities here and in
other areas In the Far East.The
changes are designed to con
form to the local community's
Interpretation of the meaning of
colors.
Traditionally, white vest
ments are used at happy feasts
of the Church — but in many
Oriental areas white is a sign
of mourning. Thus white, not
black, vestments will be worn
at Requiem Masses.
White also will no longer be
used for Nuptial Masses and the
joyous feasts of the Church,
notably Easter. Instead the
priest will wear red — a color
which in the Far East signifies
love and joy.
