Cardinal Cushing Endorses
Oxford-Protestant Bible
NEW YORK (RNS)— Richard
Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop
of Boston, has given his impri
matur — official exxlesiastical
approval — to the Oxford An
notated Bible with the Apocrypha
which uses the Revised Standard
Version (RSAQ as its text and
has commentaries by Protes
tant scholars.
The imprimatur does not ap
pear in the volume, but an in
troduction by the publishers
states that it was given by Car
dinal Cushing.
Approvals of the Bible com
mentary for Catholic personal
use and study — not for re
ligious worship — was an
nounced here by Wilbur D.Rug-
gles, editor of the Bible and re
ligious book department of Ox
ford University Press.
The Oxford Annotated Bible
was prepared by Protestant
scholars, and approved by two
Catholic priests who made mi
nor changes and some annota
tions. Named Cardinal Cush
ing, they were Father Philip
J. King of St. John’s Seminary,
Boston, and Father W. Van Et-
ten Casey, S.J.,of Holy Cross
College, Worcester, Mass.
They consulted and worked
with the Oxford commentary’s
co-editors Dr. Herbert G. May
of the Oberlin School of Teho-
logy, and Dr. Bruce M. Metz
ger of Princeton Theological
Seminary.
No changes were made in the
volume’s introductory articles,
set of maps, or the RSV text.
A few minor changes were made
in the annotations, such as add
ing a brief explanation to cer
tain phrases or verses to in
dicate where the Catholic in
terpretation differs from the
Protestant.
Oxford first published the An
notated Bible, with the RSVtext,
in 1962 and three years later
added the Apocrypha, in a com
bined edition of about 2,000
pages. The apocypha is not ac
cepted by. Protestants as can
onical because they are not in
the Hebrew Bible, but are in
the Greek Bible which Catholic
accept.
The RXV was originally pub
lished in 1952 by Thomas Nel
son and Sons under auspices of
the National Council of
Churches. A Catholic edition of
the RSV New Testament was
published in this country in
July, 1965, and the Old Testa
ment Catholic adaptation is
scheduled to be issued July 1.
Both Testaments were prepared
by the British Catholic Bibli
cal Association in England.
The Oxford Annotated Bible
ROSSEY, Switzerland—The
14-member working group of
representatives from the Vati
can and World Council of Chur
ches held its third meeting
here and decided to set up
special commissions whichwill
study specific ecumenical ques
tions.
Delegates also mapped out
details of the joint discussion
program which had been out
lined at the group's second
meeting and approved later by
the WCC and the Vatican Se
cretariat for Promoting Chris
tian Unity.
It was reported that a major
document, “The Nature of Dia
logue,” will be issued in the
Autumm for study and com
ment. This subject is being
is not a “Catholic edition” of
the RSV — as is that publish
ed by Nelson. Only one volume
of the Annotated Bilbe is pub
lished by Oxford and this now
has full Catholic approval.
Oxford Press reported that
Cardinal Cushing had expressed
“pleasure to be associated with
this ecumenical venture which
should have far-reaching fruit
ful results.’*
Dean Luther A. Weigle, who
served as chairman of the in-
terdenominational committee of
scholars preparing the RSV,
was quoted as saying that the
“quick agreement reached (on
the Catholic approval of the Ox
ford Bible) was due to the fact
that each acted with a whole
hearted desire to make possi
ble this contribution to Chris
tian unity.”
studied by one of the special
commissions.
Other commissions will con
sider such topics as “Catho
licity and Apostoliclty,” mixed
marriages and the “theology
of marriage,” conversions in
the light of churc's obligation
to bear witness to the world,
and of the principles of reli
gious liberty and ecumenism.
The group also received re
ports on the WCC’s forthcom
ing conference on church and
society to be held at Geneva
in July, and on the joint WCC-
Vatican relief efforts for India
and Africa. It urged that con
tacts developed for overseas
relief be expanded and streng
thened.
Serving as co-chairman of the
working group are Dr. W.A.
Visser *t Hooft, general secre-
„.tary. of. the WCC, and Augus-
tin Cardinal Bea,. president of
the Secretariat for Promoting
Christian Unity.
The first meeting of the group
was held in Geneva in May,
1965, and the second at Ariccia
near Rome in November. The
third session was held at the
WCC’s Ecumenical Institute
here;
Governor Praises
Catholic Schools
PHILADELPHIA (NC) — The
role of Catholic schools has
been “seriously understated
and sometimes misunder
stood,” David L. Lawrence
former Governor of Pennsyl
vania, said.
Speaking at a dinner climax
ing the centennial of St. Matt
hew's High School in nearby
Conshohocken, largest paro-
chail high school in the state,
Lawrence commented: “Cath
olic schools have never—nor do
they now—compete with public
schools in the sense that one
seeks advantage over another,'
“Indeed, Catholic schools
supplement the educational fa
cilities and opportunities offer
ed by the community, providing
advantages of education and
training to those who, by choice,
wish to utilize them and accept
the accompanying burdens that
use imposes,” he added.
Lawrence, the first Catholic
to become governor of Penn
sylvania in 1959, spoke fondly
of his own Catholic school edu
cation. He is now a special as
sistant to President Johnson,

WASHINGTON—The use of
guitars instead of organ music
at special Masses for young
people has been given a green
light by the U.S. Bishops’Com
mission on the Liturgical Apos-
tolate.
The commission did not men
tion guitars by name. But it
said that the choice of “music
which is meaningful” to youth
of high school or college age
should be considered ‘Valid and
purposeful” for worship. But
the commission held at the
same time that the liturgical
texts should be respected and
that “the incorporation of in-
congrous melodies and texts,
adapted from popular ballads,
should be avoided.”
The commission, headed by
Archbishop John F.Dearden of
Detroit, also issued two other
statements concerning church
music. One urges the en
couragement of parish choirs,
both to lead and assist congre
gations in singing the Ordinary
parts of the Mass and to sing
the Proper parts of the Mass.
In the singing of the variable
chants, however, the commis
sion said that the congrega
tion should not be totally ex
cluded.
The statement on liturgical
nusic for special groups in ef
fect took note of so-called folk-
nusic Masses by referring to
“instruments other than the
irgan.” The use of folk music
ind musical instruments such
is the guitar at Mass has been
jaining in popularity in places
such as college campuses in
rarious parts of the country.

It put forth the place of the

“In the restored liturgy, it
Is evident that the choir will
have more varied roles than in
the recent past. At times the
choir, within the congregation
of the faithful and as part of
it, will assume the role of lead
ership, while at other times it
will retain its own distinctive
ministry. This means that the
choir will lead the people in
sung prayer, by alternating or
reinforcing the sacred song of
the congregation, or by enhan
cing it with the addition of a
musical elaboration. At other
times in the course of litur
gical celebration the choir alone
will sing* works whose musical
demands enlist and challenge
its competence. Then the role
of the congregation is to listen
in a spirit of prayerful medita
tion.
