Bishop Bernardin
Music In Church
Must Be Real Art
"Although the Church has had
a glorious tradition of sacred
tnu8lc..jnuch of this tradition
has been lost to the average
parish. Most Catholic congre
gations have not had the op
portunity to experience this
great music," Bishop Joseph
Bernardin said in his homily
at a special Mass for the Ame
rican Guild of Organists.
He went on to say that "now,
however, the Church Is asking
a great deal, especially of mus-
clans. Church musicians now
need much more skill, even on
the parish level. Our goal is to
have qualified personnel in each
parish to plan and coordinate
the music program."
Bishop Bernardin commented
that music used in the Sacred

Liturgy roust be "real art"
to be worthy of a part andplace
in worship. He cautioned those
who rush into the more active
participation of the congrega
tion in sacred music often at
the sacrifice of excellence.
There is now a definite role,
he said for professional musi
cians, and their organizations
"whose purpose is to demand
and uphold excellence in Church
Music."
He praised the American
Guild of Organists for their
system of exam inations and dip
lomas for degrees of perfec
tion and excellence as a "rea
listic and professional approach
to achieving this desired ex
cellence."
The American Guild of Or
ganists, a non-sectarian groups
met in Atlanta this week for their
annual meeting.
Birth Control
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
"The potential savings to be
realized from the reduction of
unwanted fertility — and the
potential opportunity to use our
tax funds for genuine rehabili-
taton programs — are worthy
of your consideration," she told
the committee.
The hearing was marked by
disputes among committee
members and between mem
bers and witnesses.
Henry J. Palmieri, executive
director of the Catholic Chari
ties Commission on Social Wel
fare, Pittsburgh, charged that
"coercion has been added to in
trusion...The agent of the go
vernment becomes, no matter
how benign his attitude or sym
pathetic his approach, an autho
ritative figure. He becomes the
policeman of one of the most
basic, sensitive and precious
phases of family life — to have
or not to have children."
4he House eemm&tee asked
• Mr. Rairr^ieri-if he .apuld give:
'them specific examples of this'
"coercion" or quote anyone
who has been coerced. He said
he could not. Other witnesses
who charged coercion were ask
ed the same question, but could
not cite examples.
Rep. Eugene Gelfand (D.-Phi
ladelphia), a committee mem
ber, cited a Gallup poll which
indicated that 59 per cent of all
Catholics favor die dissemina
tion of birth control informa

NEW ORLEANS (NC) —
There's that old saw about'Save
your Confederate money,
boys..."
Then there are the Holy Cross
Brothers here who are glad they
did.
But if the price Is right, the
brothers are willing to part with
their collection to swell the
building fund for Holy Cross
High School which they conduct
here.
The Brothers acquired the
bulk of their collection several
years ago from Theodore T.
Gore of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
father of a former student.
The collection also included
historical notes and original
letters relating to persons
whose pictures appeared on the
Confederate bills. Among the
letters is one from Gen. M.C.
Butler to Jefferson Davis, who
was president of the Con
federate States, dated Feb. 26,
1878.
In addition to the Gore col
lection, the brothers acquired
other confederate bills from do
nors. Publicity about the bills
acquired has put the brothers
in an embarrassing position—
they're regarded as experts on
the value of Confederate bills,
but they're not.
Brother Robert Hampton, C.
S.C., headmaster, said the bro

MIAMI (NC) — Employment
of a Catholic nun as director
of an antipoverty center here
has sparked controversy among
members of the Dade County
anti-poverty board and caused
curtailment of the hiring powers
of the poverty program direc
tor.
Jack Gordon, poverty board
member who is also a member
of the county school board, said
at a board meeting that the nun's
religious garb "bothers me."
''How can we spend public
money to propagate a religious
faith?" he asked.
He accused Richard Weather-
ley, director of the poverty pro
gram of being untruthful about
the hiring of Sister Marie In
fanta Gonzales, a member of
the Oblate Sisters of Providence

"His writings inspired within
20 years of his death the for
mation of three congregations.
The first of these was the Lit
tle Brothers of Jesus and the
Little Sisters of the Sacred
Heart In 1933. They were fol
lowed by the Little Sisters of
Jesus In 1936."
The Little Brothers of Jesus
now numbers some 300, 100 of
them ordained priests, in 26
countries.
"Our technique for giving
witness to Christ differs from
others," said Brother Roger.
"We seek to live among the
poorest. We stress presence
rather than almsgiving; pover
ty rather than security. By
our prayers and example we
hope to penetrate the un-
Christllke crust that keeps the
poor from knowing Christ.”
A native of Paris, Brother
Roger is a "late vocation."
Before entering the order he
served as a movie projection
ist.
When World War II came he
enlisted, became active in the
French underground, and was
held captive at Dachau for sev
eral months until rescued by
American forces.
Brother John, still a novice,
is a native of Martinique in the
West Indies. After his proba
tionary period here he will re
turn to his studies and prepare
for vows.
Training for the Little Broth
ers of Jesus begins with a peiod
of trial in a fraternity, varying
in time with the candidate’s
ability to stand up under the
life ami work.
After his acceptance as a pos
tulant, he continues to live in a
fraternity from three to 12
months. A canonical novitiate
of one year follows; then anoth
er period of probation of ap
proximately two years, spent in
a working fraternity; and, fin
ally, from three to six years of
study (philosophy and theology).
Simple vows of poverty, chas
tity and obedience are made at
the close of the novitiate, for a
three-year period. They are
renewed for another three
years. After the six-year pe
iod, the brother makes his per
petual profession.

Gordon asked Weatheriey
what steps he had taken to
make certain that the nun would
not "exhibit religious symbols
"when in her. new position at
the Cullmer Bay DayCare Cen
ter in the heart of Miami’s
Negro district,
Weatheriey replied that he
had “had her removed' her tiny
gold cross."
Other opponents of the hiring
of Sister Gonzales, whose re
ligious community members !
are employed in federally sup- I
ported anti-poverty programs
in other areas of the country, ;
said the black habit of the nun
might have a "bad effect" on
small children enrolled at the■
day care center.
The Rev, P.W, Williams, a
Protestant minister who is not .
a member of the board, said
that he was "just against her .'
garb. It’s the same as a police-'
man’s uniform."
Fred W. Hartnett, who re-i
presents Catholic Charides'orrf
the Poverty board, asked board#
'memb’lg'i’s: "What are we doing ,
here? We who have been most ’
concerned about discrimination ?
are showing discrimination i
right here in this room."
Miami attorney Tobias

American Civil Liberties t
Union, supported Hartnett. He :
read a legal opinion on the hir
ing of clergymen and other re
ligious personnel in the federal
poverty program, which stated
that churches have been in the
forefront In the war against
poverty, "in some cases lead
ing die program from the

Film Award
NEW YORK (RNS) — The Na
tional Catholic Theater Con
ference will present its 1966
Religious Film Award to
''Parable," the controversial
movie produced by the Pro
testant Council of the City of
New York and shown at the
1964-65 World’s Fair here,
"Parable" Is a 22-minute
color film, entirely In pan-
iomine, with original music.
It has a circus setting with
a clown as a Christ image.
The clown has a series of
experiences and is subsequendy
killed. Some objections arose
over the depiction of a clown
figure as representing Christ.
The Protestant Council, how-
j ever, has never Interpreted the
film. It has been described jby
agouncil spokesman as "ex
pressive radier than definitive
and should be Interpreted by
each viewer In the light of his
own personal feelings, back
ground and experience."
Presentation of the film
award by the NCTC will be made
during its 21st annual meeting
In St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 16-22. It
will be accepted by a Protestant
Council representative.
"Parable" has been honored
at the Cannes, Venice and Edin
burgh Film Festivals. Shown
during the World's Fair at the
Protestant and Orthodox Cen
ter, the movie is being distri
buted on a rental basis by the
Protestant Council.

oppressed and the needy are
alive. Spirituality is doing."
Urging a balanced approach
to spirituality in marriage, he
said that "any modern spiri
tuality must see the contem
porary problem of being hu
man and Christian as one."
A husband and wife should
not seek to be ’nauseously con
scious of being the ideal Chris
tian couple," he said, adding;
"I would prefer that a married
couple are terribly aware of
their scattered humanity and
desire Christ to tie it all to
gether each day."
"Despite all the difficulties,
married couples should never
be discouraged because spirl-
' tuality is Christ; and Christ
is a person who truly loves;
and every husband and wife
are capable of that," Father
Burke said.
Speaking on marriage in the
New Testament, Father Eugene
McAlee, C.SS.R., of Mount St.
Alphonsus Seminary, Esopus,
N.Y., said the New Testament
revelation is that "husband and
wife,- male andfemale, are equal
in the Christian society."
However, he added, "it is ta
king a long time for society to
catch up with this unequivocal
teaching."
He said the Second Vatican
Council had given a new slant
on St. Paul’s comparison of
the husband to Christ and the
wife to the Church. "The union
of husband and wife is compared
to the union of Christ and His
Church, implying, however, that
both spouses are one in Christ,"
he said.
He urged that ideas of the
role of women no longer be tied
to the concepts of "a society

Father James Plastaras,
C.M., of Our Lady of Angels
Seminary, Albany, N.Y., stres
sed the relationship between
marriage and the eucharist,
saying that voth are signs of
unity and love.
He said Christian couples
"need to see that while their
love for each other Is nur
tured by many kinds of exter
nal expresion...yet there are
two holy signs which enable
them to express and to achieve
their union in an altogether
special way.
"One is the conjugal act by
which they totalize the expres
sion of their love for each other
and give to their union of spi
rits an ’incarnation.’ The other
holy sign Is the Eucharist, in
which they receive the Spirit
as the bond of charity."

value of Confederate currency
they have acquired.
“Of course we don’t know the
value of Individual bills. We’re
not experts In this field," the
headmaster said.
But the brothers do know their
complete collection of all of the
70 regular issues of paper
money Issued by the Con
federacy during the War
Between the States has been
valued at $10,000.
The bills in the collection
are in excellent condition and
have been authenticated by cur

mates the collection is one of
perhaps 20 complete sets of of
ficial Confederate money In the
world. The bills have all the dis
tinctive characteristics collec
tors look for—type of paper,
water marks, signatures, en
graving, other authenticities.
Brother Lawrence Fitch C.
S.C., assistant headmaster and
the school’s publicity director,
said the brothers hope to find
a buyer who will preserve the
collection and make it available
for public display.
With tongue somewhat in
cheek, he suggested a bank
would be an ideal buyer. He
said the bank could promote
business with a sign something
like this——"Save your Confe
