Pope Rules On Power of
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
The first -motu proprio on
bishops, entitled "De Episco-
porum Muneribus," consists
of three parts.
The first expounds the teach
ing of the council’s-Constitu
tion on the Nature of the Church
concerning the power of indi
vidual bishops to govern the
Church entrusted to them. They
exercise this power personally,
in Christ's name, as His vi
cars, although it is ultimately
regulated by the Church’s su
preme authority, the pope.
The second part is a juridi-
• cal exegesis of section 8B of
the council’s decree on bish
ops. The powers of dispensa
tion given to bishops in that
section are much broader than
those given by canon 81 of the
Code of Canon Law, which stip
ulates that only the pope can
dispense from the Church’s
general laws except in two cas
es: where this power has been
conceded to them explicitly or
where the delay involved by re
course to the Holy See would
result in grave harm. In this
latter case, a bishop could dis
pense only when the Holy See
usually granted like dispensa
tions.
The third part, pursuing the
conciliar decree’s stipulation
that bishops may dispense "ex
cept when it’s a question of
_ matters reserved to the
Church’s supreme authority,*’

Jay Broad, managing direc
tor ofTheatre Atlanta, the city’s
new million dollar repertory
theatre, announced today that
he is searching for actors to
become a part of the theatre’s
permanent resident company.
Broad said "We are not in
terested in the actor who sim
ply wants a "Job” for the sea
son when he cannot get work in
. the big. time. We are interest-
! ed in the actor who believe^ in
the future of’repertory theatre,
who wants to become a part of
the community of Atlanta, who
wants to consider planting roots
in this growing metropolis of
well over a million,
"For our 1966-1967 season,
we will hire, on a full-time
basis, a ’core* company of eight
to twelve actors. This will be
the nucleus of our acting com
pany, giving it the continuity
that will allow us to perform
week in and week out.’’
Broad also announced today
that he is anxious to read new
plays by writers from the South
east for possible production this
season. Broad said he feels it
is the responsibility of regional
theatres such as Theatre Atlan
ta to contribute to the advance
ment of working writers of'
merit by exposing their crea
tive talents to the public.

—The so-called "sanatio in

without their knowledge, were in
fact unable to marry.
—A dispensation from the
laws of the eucharistic fast.
With these exceptions, Msgr.
Mariani emphasized, bishops
can dispense from the entire
range of disciplinary laws con
tained in the code of Canon Law.
The new legislation applies
to the entire Latin rite Church.
It will be valid, the motu pro
prio said, until the promulga
tion of a new code of canon
law.
This motu proprio. dated June
15, was published six
days after the Pope announced
through another motu proprio
that he was extending die pri-
iod at the end of which certain
legislation of the council would
go into effect. Originally all
remaining legislation of the
council was to go into effect
June 29. The provisions of the
decree on blshbps which the new
motu proprio actuates go into
effect about six weeks later.
ST. LOUIS (RNS)—For the
first time in its 32-year-his
tory, Serra International has
elected someone who lives out
side the United States as its
president.
Delegates elected Jan. M.J.
Berbers, a Montevideo, Uru
guay textile manufacturer, to
the presidency. Serra Inter
national is a 12,000-member
organization of Roman Catholic
business and professional men
In 20 nations who actively work
to foster vocations to the priest
hood.
A native of Holland who has
been in South America 15 years,
Mr. Berbers said that he plans
to stay in the U.S. for the major
part of the coming year to visit
Serra clubs.
* "I wish to discuss with them,
on the spot," he said, "what
reassessment is necessary in
the particular clubs, what re
newal must be put into practice,
and to stress the greater re
sponsibilities now in the Serra
Club movement."
Such stress is necessary, he
said, because the documents
promulgated by the Second Va
tican Council “Impose great
responsibility on all laymen."
Mr. Berbers said young men
at seminaries are disturbed
when they hear rumors that
snany priests are defecting and
khat too many seminarians are
leaving the seminaries.
I He said a statistical report
iof the number of priests who
jhave given up their vocations,
(compared with those who stay?' 1
"shows clearly that the per
centage of defections is very
small.”
But, he declared, the ru-f
mor of too many seminarians
leaving the seminary is "part
ly true.”
"If any working candidate
Serra Club Awards
leaves," he said, "it is cause
for concern. But actually, is
it not a partial consequence
of too many people speaking of
defections; speaking of celi
bacy as being impossible,
which occasion too great dis
turbance among the semina
rians?"
He said these problems give
Serrans certain specific tasks:
"1. We have to supply cor
rect figures so that our young
people will know that there is
too much fuss about defections;
"2. We must make clear
the multiple examples of ex
cellent priests;
"3. We must show our young
people the beauty of love in the
family, but how much more
beautiful is the pure love given
for Christ alone;
"4. We must emphasize that
a vocation is a direct gift from
God. to the individual which he,
personally and no one else,
must accept or reject."

Physician W arn s
About Sex Views
HAMILTON, Ont. (RNS)—Two leaders at the Second North
American Conference on the Church and Family Life here—one
a physician and the other a theologian—agreed that one of the
"•biggest Craps" In the Current sex revolution Is the view of '
sexuality as only physical.
"This traps men more than women", said Dr. Mary S. Calde-
rone, executive director of the Sex Information and Educaton
Council of the U.S. (SIECUS). The equating of sex exclusively
with its physical aspect is a "great disservice" to boys, she
said, because it "gyps them of the Important ‘I-thou’ relation
ship." And it Is one of the reasons girls ask counselors; " 'Why
do boys leave it to us to draw the line?" she continued.
Dr. Harvey Cox, Harvard Divinity School theologian and author,
agreed. "We’ve taken far too much time discussing with under
graduates 'to bed or not to bed.’"
Dr. Calderone and Dr. Cox made their comments at a press
conference held In connection with the Church and Family Life
Conference, sponsored jointly by the Canadian Council of Chur
ches and the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S. A.
Both were speakers at the conference.
Jerry Odom and James
Murphy have received Serra
Club altar boy awards for our
Lady of the Assumption parish.
Father Philip J, McArdle,
S.M., officiated and the awards
were presented by Samuel
McQuaid.
Members of the parish will
choose the name by ballots.
The names selected are Church
of the Trinity, St. Thomas the
Apostle, St. Monica’s, St.
Matthew’s, St. Stephen’s and St.
Elizabeth’s. Father Richard
Morrow is pastor.
According to Dr. Cox, religion and sex are closely related In
man’s search for love and intimacy and acceptance. 'The reach
ing out to another person for Intimacy is very closely related
to what religion Is all about, and we badly misunderstand sexu
ality if we confine it to the coital."

Dr. Calderone, a tall, gray-haired grandmother, deplored the
fact that the "heroine Images" In America are "the sexpots."

"Marilyn Monroe was never able to be a woman—to give her
self totally as a woman to a relationship," she said. "Sophia
Loren is much more of a woman."
"And I think President Kennedy’s death was a great tragedy
for boys," she added, "for there was a man who fought, who was
a leader, a writer, a lover, husband and father."
Dr. Calderone called the recent study, "Human Sexual Re
sponse" by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, a
"landmark" in the "exploitive" aspect of sexuality.
As for the celibacy practiced by Roman Catholic priests, Dr.
Calderone had this to say: "Society says people who may live
in celibacy or with others of the same sex are odd people.
Why, we don’t even know what normal sexuality is."
On the same subject, Dr. Cox observed that "It is good that in
a society that Is so preoccupied with sex that there are people
who can remind us that bed sex Isn’t necessary."
Asked about the possibility that the Churches might establish
"new codes" of sexual behavior, Dr. Cox acknowledged that
there Is at the present time a movement by religious leaders
toward a "pluralism in attitudes." But, he added, **we have to
do a lot more work on the meaning of sexuality, rather than
codification."
Dr. Calderone added that both science and religion are in a
state of flux on the question of sexuality. No one, she said, can
say what is "normal" sexual behavior and the whole question
needs Intensive, possibly government-financed, research.
"The state of religion Is such that we are questioning our laws
and It is Impossible to say 'this is right’. And the state of
science Is such that we cannot say ’this Is normal.*’’
Sex education programs in schools, Dr. Calderone said, can
never be better than the general level of understanding of sexu
ality in the supporting community. "This Is why so many pro
grams have bogged down," she said. "Schools alone are not
viable. It is the community that must participate.’’
