Academic Units
Knock St. John’s
JAMAICA, N.Y.—Embattled
St. John’s University has re
ceived a major knock from the
American Association of Uni
versity Professors and a ma
jor boost from the Middle Sta
tes Association.
The AAUP, meeting in At
lanta, Ga., voted overwhelm ing-
ly (April 29) to censure St.
John’s for a "grievous and in
excusable violation of academic
freedom’s in the firing of 31
teachers last Christmas.
It urged that none of its
members take positions at the
nation’s largest Catholic uni
versity until the censure is
lifted. It also asked that the
Middle States Association re
voke St. John's accreditation.
The Middle States Associa
tion, however, announced (May
1) that after "a cartful and ex
tensive consideration” of the
situation it had decided not to
revoke its accreditation of the
university.
The association said the unl-
Pope Talks
To Lodge
Pope Paul VI met Monday,
May 2, in the papal library
at the Vatican with Henry Ca
bot Lodge, U.S. ambassador
to South Viet Nam, who stopped
tff in Italy during a jet flight
home from Saigon. They met
without interpreters to discuss
the Met Nam war and the chan
ces of peace there. The con
versation was in French and
no pictures were released. The
40-minute conference, twice the
length of the usual Vatican au
dience, was not announced be
fore-hand. A year ago Ambas
sador Lodge had conferred with
the Pope as President Johnson’s
special envoy. However, the
White House said in Washington
Monday that Mr. Lodge had seen
the Pope for "personal rea
sons" and had not been asked
to do so by President Johnson.

versity’s action in firing the
teachers was "neither impul
sive nor vicious.” It declared
that the university is still
in the hands of "responsible
government.”
Father Joseph T. Cahill, C.M.
president of the university, ex
pressed pleasure at the Middle
States decision and called the
AAUP censure "undeserved.”
The controversy erupted
when St. John’s dismissed 31
faculty members at the start
of the 1965 Christmas vacation.
Although 10 have been allowed
to continue teaching for the
■ rest of the academic year,
the other 21 were immediately
dismissed. All are being paid
for the duration of their con
tracts, whether or not they are
still teaching.

ITALIAN
Anti-Semite Bishop Contradicts
Letter And Spirit Of Vatican II
NEWARK, N.J. (NC)—The re
cent statement by an Italian
bishop that Judaism carries the
judgment of condemnation by
God "completely contradicts
the letter and spirit of the Sec
ond Vatican Council,” accord
ing to a leading American Cath
olic student of Judaism.
•
Msgr, John M. Oesterreicher,
director of Seton Hall Univer
sity’s Institute of Judaeo-
Christian Studies here, said that
this attitude of Bishop Luigi
Carli of Segni “is not Catho
lic.”
Msgr. Oesterreicher noted
in a public statement (April
28 ( that Bishop Carli in his
article in an Italian clerical
magazine had declared that the
use of the term “deicide” in
regard to the Jews "is theo
logically unexceptionable; even
the only fitting one.” He also
cited the bishop's assertion that
Judaism survived the disap
pearance of the Temple and its
priesthood * 'illegally with re
spect to God.”
Msgr. Oesterreicher, a mem
ber of the American bishops’
committee for contacts with the
Jewish community and a con-
suitor to the Vatican Secretar
iat for Promoting Christian
Unity, said of Bishop Carli’s
statements:

'These opinions are not new;
the bishop of Segni has pro
pounded them before and dur
ing the last session of the coun
cil; indeed, he made every ef
fort to wreck the conciliar
statement on the Jews, even the
whole Declaration on The
Church’s Relationship to Non-
Christian Religions. His at
tempts to persuade the council
fathers to side with him were
soundly rejected.
“It is not surprising that af
ter this utter defeat, he should
try to vindicate his stand. Self-
defense springs quickly from
our hearts. Human though the
bishop’s reaction may be, it is
not Catholic; it is least of all an
attitude one expects of a bishop,
for it completely contradicts the
letter and spirit of the Second
Vatican Council.
"Regrettably, Bishop Carli
seems to be unaware that his
lack of docility, that his recal
citrance toward the council gives
scandal: In the eyes of many
non-Catholics, the credibility of
the Church has been put in
doubt. It is false, however, to
assume that he is motivated by
hatred or contempt of Jews,
though his position is in effect
anti-Jewish. He seems, rath
er, guided by a kind of legal
ism. His expression that the
continued existence of Judaism
is ' illegal with respect to God’
is quite significant. Is the exis
tence before God of any man,
or any group of men, ever a
question of legality?
“According to Bishop Carli,
Jedaism, because of its non-ac
ceptance of God's great gift to
man, the Christ, should right
fully have disappeared. That it
did not disappear is a proof that
hs continues, not 'rightfully’
but—and this is infinitely more
wondrous—by God’s mercy, by
His grace. To the Christian,
then, the survival of the Jewish
people is a secret: the secret
of God’s incomprehensible fi
delity, Wooden logic cannot
come near the mystery of Jew
ish existence.
“Some have asked how it is
possible that, shortly after the
council, a man like Bishop Car
li can propagate ideas that flag
rantly oppose its mind, and how
it is possible that he has not
been silenced. The answer is
simply that the documents of
Vatican II are pastoral decrees,
not meant to be enforced by
police measures. They appeal
to the conscience of Christians,
calling thus for a free re
sponse.
* ‘It is this freedom that makes
me hope that the bishop’s lack of
response will in the end, much
against his will, serve the very
purpose of the conciliar state
ment on the Jews. For it will
prod the chosen interpreters
of the declaration to double their
efforts. As a matter of fact,
it may move Catholics every
where to do their utmost that the
paper and print of the declara
tion be turned into a living re
ality.”
OK Dark
Street
Clothes
ROME (RNS)~Italy's Roman
Catholic clergy has been gi
ven limited permission to wear
clerical dark suits in public
instead of the long cassocks
they have worn for centuries
— when not officiating at reli
gious rites or when or leave
away from their churches.
The governing council of the
National Episcopal Conference
announced the change in a state
ment here.
Hie new regulations insist
that priests wear their cas
socks when in church or of
ficiating at a ceremony. They
must also wear cassocks when
teaching religion classes in
schools.
HOWEVER, priests will be
allowed to wear dark suits,
with the Roman collar, when
ever they travel or engage in
“profane” activities, “all the
while keeping in mind local
customs and sensibilities.”
The bishops' decision pro
bably will not apply in the
Rome diocese, which is the
Pope's own See, but is expec
ted to be Introduced gradually
throughout the rest of Italy.
