During Transition Period
Bishop Says Catholics
Shouldn’t Run Scared
THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1966 GEORGIA BULLETIN PAGE 7
ARCHBISHOP Paul J. Halllnan and Dr. Earnest E. Proctor, secretary of the Newnan Hospital
medical staff, are pictured with Father Clement Tackney, C.S.S.R., as he presents a check
to Mrs. Charles Smith, R.N., director .of nursing service, for the new addition of the Newnan
Hospital. The check is the donation of'the parishioners of St. George Catholic Church for the
equipment of a new emergency room of the Newnan Hospital.
PORTLAND, Ore. (^O-
Catholics shouldn't "run sca
red" about the drop in conver
sions or vocations accompany
ing the current transition period
in the Church, Auxiliary Bishop
James P. Shannon of St. Paul,
Minn., said here.
The prelate discussed transi
tion in the Church during an in
terview where he has been con
ducting the annual retreat for
priests of the Portland archdio
cese and Baker diocese.
'Dislocations and tensions
were foreseen by Pope John,
Pope Paul and the Council
Fathers," he asserted. “But
the great dislocations of the
transition period.
'The Catholic Church pro
bably enjoys wider respect a-
round the world today than it has
in many centuries," he said.
He rejected the term "crisis
of authority’’ as the product of
an "iceberg syndrome” among
some journalists and others who

Old Scroll Reveals
First Century Sect
JERUSALEM (RNS>—A He
brew University professor an
nounced the discovery of a
1,000 - year - old document
which he said presents an his
torical account of a Jewish-
Christian sect that existed at
the time of Christ.
Dr. Shlomo Pines, Paris-
born professor of general and
Jewish philosophy, said the
document running to 600
pages, recorded the sect as
having criticized the Apostle
Paul for considering Jesus as
the Christ»orMeasiah, andfor
not confining His teachings to
Jews.
According to Dr. Pines, the
document also contained two
accounts of the Passion of
Christ and that differ from the
Gospels and from one anoth
er.
The professor said he learn
ed of the document a few
years ago from Dr. Samuel
Stern, a fellow of All Souls
College, Oxford, while both
were in Instanbul, Turkey,
examining Islamic texts.
Dr. Pines said the Chris-
tian-Jewish sect was forced to
flee Jerusalem about A.D. 62,
but it kept an historical ac
count which was supplement

view isolated instances of a
similar nature as ‘’all connect
ed underneath.”
'There is a new permissive
ness in procedures of the
Church,* he continued, "and
this has generated much more
discussion than we have been
accustomed to. The new climate
of opinion poses problems both
for persons in authority and for
persons under authority. We
must work out some method of
communication that is in keep
ing with the new permissive
ness, but also consonant with the
tradition of authority and
obedience in the Church."
The former St. Thomas Col
lege president, who served until
last month as chairman of the
Association of American col
leges, said he was “not dis
turbed" by current ferment on
college and university cam
puses.
He said that faculty unrest at
St. John’s University in New
York is 'Wrttypical of the situa
tion at Catholic colleges, and I
am not apprehensive about its
spreading.”
'The average highly pub
licized instances of student un
rest could be explained at least
in part by bad administrative
handling of student problems,"
he added.
'The vast majority of stu
dents at most campuses are not
concerned about rebelling,"
Bishop Shannon said. 'They are
articulate and they want justice.
When there are open opportuni
ties for discussion and a free
press on the campus, these ten
sions don’t seem to blow up."
'The great error of many ad
ministrators is over-reaction
to student criticism—slapping
it down with a Howitzer when
they could use a fly-swatter,"
he added. "Your college years
are supposed to be years in which
you are entitled to make a few
mistakes—before you get older
when it costs more to make mis
takes.”
However, he said “there is
still such a thing as a code of
gentlemanly conduct,” and stu
dent rebellion “in many in
stances has gone beyond the
limits of reason and courtesy."
He referred to recent public
walk-outs of faculty and stu
dents from graduation exer
cises at New York University
and Amherst as “inexcusable"
when there are "so many other
avenues of public protest—plat
forms, demonstrations, and so
forth. Nor does it in any way help
the cause.

difference between being eman
cipated and merely being un
buttoned," he said.
Long active in the civil rights
movement, Bishop Shannon said
its energy should now concent
rate on "a positive program of
education and training for
Negroes to qualify them techni
cally for the vastly expanded op
portunities open for them now.”
"In the rhetoric of the civil
rights movement, we're reach
ing the point of diminishing re
turns on public demonstra
tions,” he said. “If they become
a daily event, they lose their
impact."
'The Church must candidly
admit that civil rights leader
ship in the United States has not
come from the churches—
Catholic or others," Bishop
Shannon said.''Butwhateverthe
reasons for our late entry into
the movement, we must push
ahead to meet present needs.
The Church has a great tradi
tion of education, and here it can
now make its primary contribu
tions."
Bishop Shannon, recently
named assistant episcopal
chairman oftheN.C.W.C. Press
Department, described the
Catholic Press as "becoming
more professional* and called
it "the logical instrument for
the very extensive job of educa
tion we have in the Catholic
Church since the council."
"Unfortunately, the average
Catholic doesn't know much
about the council,” Bishop
Shannon said. 'The job of in
terpreting and explaining the
council documents for people
both inside and outside the
Church is too much for a 10-
minute Sunday sermon, or re
treats or CCD classes. CCD
classes can reach the children,
but we need the Catholic press to
reach your mother and father
and my mother and father.”
Protest Is Duty Against Injustice
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (NC) —
A Jesuit priest emphasized
here that citizens not only
have the right but the duty to
protest against unjust laws.
Father John Bonn, S.J., an
instructor at Fairfield Uni
versity, Bridgeport, Conn.,
also warned of the perils that
would result if this country
adopted universal military
conscription, in an address
to the Te Deum International
chapter here.
Speaking on "Protest, Vio
lence, Apathy and Obedience,”
Father Bonn said that to break
a law does not necessarily
mean a person has committed
an immoral act.
"Most laws are based on
morality,” he said. "But
some are unjust and inequit
able. We have the duty to pro
test against these laws. We
have no right to apathy.”
"When we have studied the
problem and our conscience
tel.s us what is right, then
we not only have the duty to
protest but it is also our duty
to protest violently if the in
justice is massive and no le
gal means is available to cor
rect it,” he said.
Speaking of universal mil
itary conscription, Father
Bonn said this cqqpled with
stockpiling of atomic weap
ons would be a catastrophe.
'This idea has been a fail
ure in Europe for centuries,”
he said. "You must see that
this is not done in the United
States.”
Priest Reported Married
DETROIT — Records of the
Wayne County Clerk in Detroit,
revealed by local newspapers,
state that Father Lawrence J.
Cross, S.J., was married May
31 to Miss Joan T. Renaud, with
Father Thomas A. Blackburn,
S.J., performing the ceremony.
According to the Detroit arch-
diocesan chancery purported
witnesses to the ceremony re
fused to confirm the marriage
had taken place. Father Cross
declined comment on news re
ports, as did his Jesuit pro
vincial. Father Cross was
chairman of the University of
Detroit's sociology department
until January when he went to
Rome to teach the history of
sociology at the Gregorian Pon
tifical University. (RNS Photo)
