MOST REVEREND FULTON J. SHEEN
The Missions of the world are being spiritually wounded by
magazine-theology which says to Our Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament: "Move over to the side and give place to me in the
center." It is well for those who negate in any way this great
mystery of faith” to recall what occasioned the fall of Judas.
It was not avarice, that came much later, but a lack of faith
in the Eucharist. Read Chapter 6 of St. John and you will see
at what point Judas weakened.
What is the relation beweeen the Eucharist and the Missions?
Bear with me, while we unfold a little Scripture. Two words sum
up the humiliation of Our Lord on the one hand and His glori
fication on the other: kenosis and pleroma. The first means
an "emptying," the second a “filling up,"
the valley is an emptying which fills the
mountain. Our Lord did a double emptying.
In His Incarnation, He hid the glory of
His divinity and became a suffering slave:
first, bearing a heavy burden (the cross of
our sins) and second, doing dirty work (wash
ing the dirty feet of the apostles). For this
emptying, He now “fills up” His Body which
is the Church, as she grows through con
versions and missions from a few cells to
a developed organism.
But there was a second emptying — which was the Eucharist.
This was not so much in relation to His human nature as to His
creation, us, the visible world, the cosmos, things, all that
surround us. As He emptied His glory in a slave-human nature,
so He emptied His glory by hiding His divinity under bread
and wine. Thus, He humiliated Himself in humanity and in the
cosmos. As He sanctified all humanity by taking our nature,
so He began to restore all creation to Himself by humbling
Himself under the two most sacrificial things that grow —
wheat and grapes. When we priests prepare these at the altar,
think of how much of visible creation is involved - farmers,
wine merchants, vines, bottles, property, finance, mills, wine
presses, truckers, bakers, commercial agents. Why we are
taking the whole unredeemed world and, in some mysterious
way, bringing it to serve ChristI
This is what St. Paul means when He says “Christ fills all
things." Thus, as the Incarnation was the beginning of the san-
tification of mankind, so the Eucharist is the beginning of the
spiritualization of all created matter. Application: as Christ
emptied Himself, so we must empty our humanity of comforts
and luxuries to fill up the Body of Christ in mission lands.
Humanity served Him through a human nature given by Mary;
the visible universe and the scientific universe serve Him when
offered by the priest in the Mass. Human nature and the cos
mos, men and things, the Church and the Eucharist - these
must be kept together if we will save the world. It would be
interesting to note how many churches which have cast the
Eucharistic Lord aside have ever used any of their wealth and
their collections for the poor of the world. We cannot allow
nuclear and atomic forces to prepare a blasting of this crea
tion which belongs to the Lord. In reparation for the forget
fulness of Christ in the Eucharist , may we ask priests to help
us build chapels in the Missions? May we ask you, our beloved
people, to send whatever you can to glorify the Lord Who,
throughout the Old Testament, proclaimed the “Bread of Per
petual Presence”? God Love Youl
Send us your old gold and jewelry - the bracelet or ring you
no longer wear, last year’s gold eyeglass frames, the cuff
links you never liked anyway. We will resell them and use the
money to aid the Missions. Your setni-precious stones will be
winning precious souls for Christ. Our address: The Society

French Bishops Asked By Vatican
To Silence Priest, Bar His Book
PARIS (RNS) — The Va
tican has asked France’s
bishops to refuse their impri
matur (approval) to a newly-
published book written by a
French priest who has specia
lized in the study of psycho
logical problems, notably those
found in the priesthood.
It also asked the French hier
archy to bar the priest from
lecturing on moral theology.
Author of the volume is Fa
ther Marc Oraison, a physi
cian before he entered the
priesthood at age 34. He was
responsible, eight years ago,
for the establishment of a sani-
torium at Cambo, in the Py
renees, for priests requiring
psychiatric aid.
The request to the French
bishops came from Alfredo
Cardinal Ottaviani, Pro-Per
fect of the Sacred Congregation
of the Doctrine of the Faith
(formerly the Holy Office). It
was prompted by Father Orai-
son’s latest book. The Human
Mystery of Sexualty, published
in June by Edition du Seuil,
a Paris firm.
Its 10,000-copy first edition
sold out almost immediately
providing quite a surprise for
the French publishing fra
ternity, and was quickly fol
lowed by a second printing of
10,000.
Father Oraison's troubles
vith the Vatican date back some
13 to 15 years. In 1951, he
published a theme, Christian
Life and Problems of Sexua
lity, which drew the fire of the
Holy Office and the volume was
placed on .the Index of Forbid
den books two years later.
Cardinal Ottaviani’s action
caused unrest in liberal Ca
tholic circles here They said
the cardinal seemed to counter
the reforms instituted by Pope
Paul VI when he suppressed
the Index.
However, other Catholic ob
servers recalled that Cardinal
Ottaviani, in a notification is
sued last June, stated that while
the Index no longer had any
“juridical significance," indi
vidual bishops and episcopal
conferences had "the right and
duty to direct the faith and
morals of the faithful under
their charge by anticipating and,
if necessary, reproving Offend
ing publications.’’
The cardinal's notification
said the Sacred Congregation
would “keep in touch with the
bishops to help them to main
tain vigilance over the printed
word, working in cooperation
with universities and other Ca
tholic institutes of higher learn
ing.” In doing so, Cardinal Ot
taviani said, the congregation
would be guided by directives
of Vatican II and principles set
forth in the motu proprio, In-
tegraese Rande, issued by Pope
Paul on Sept. 7, 1965, to an-

Hawaiian
Miss Susan Reilman of Most
Blessed Sacrament parish is
representing Region VI, Girl
Scouts of America, at an Inter
national conference at the East-
West Center of the University
of Hawaii.
The conference, from Aug.
7-23 with a one-week visit
in the islands preceding, will
bring together 128 Senior Scouts
and Girl Guides from the United
States,the Pacific Islands and 11
Asian countries for the purpose
of developing mutual apprecia
tion of Eastern and Western cul
tural values.
The East-WestCenter, a joint
project of the University of;
Hawaii and the State Depart
ment, was chosen for the con-'
ference, since it is situated in
an area of the world where the
two cultures. Eastern and Wes
tern, have met. The girls will
explore and compare their cul
tural heritages and customs in
conference units of eight.
Susan’s unit includes girls from
the United States, Republic of,
nounce reorganization of the
Holy Office.
Permission to publish books
dealing with matters of faith and
morals, or related subjects, ge
nerally falls under the authority
of the bishop of the See in which
the writer lives or where the
work is published. Clearance
for publication is usually indi
cated in a book by the term
“Nihil Obstat” (nothing stands
in the way) issued by the re
viewing censor, and "Impri
matur" (let it be printed), au
thorized by the bishop.
Although Vatican sources re
portedly said Father Oraison
would be given an opportunity to
visit Rome to defend his book,
liberal spokesmen here said
that there was, nevertheless,
real causefor concern, since
the priest had already come
under a ban without first being
given a chance to defend him
self.
Scout At
Conference
China, Pakistan and Japan.
Susan is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. R.F. Reilman, 2720
Tanglewood Trail, East Point,
and has been an active member
of the Northwest Georgia Girl
Scout Council for 10 years. She
graduated from St. Joseph High
School in June, 1966, and was
awarded the Archbishop’s
Award of Excellence. She has
received the Southern Regional
Scholarship from Barry
College, Miami, Florida, and
will be a Mathematics major
there next year.
It was recalled that the no
tification issued by theCongre-
gation for the Doctrine of the
Faith, had stipulated that while
the Church reserved the right
“publicly to condemn a book
that offends faith and morals”
it would not do so "without
having first courteously ask
ed the author to amend his writ
ings.”
In addition to the request that
an Imprimatur be denied Father
Oraison’s new volume, Car
dinal Ottaviani asked that the
priest be refused permission to
lecture on questions of moral
theology under any ecclesias
tical sponsorship.
The 52-year-old priest was
ordained in 1948; previously he
had earned the degree of doctor
of medicine at the University of
Bordeaux.
In his work toward a docto
rate in theology Father Oraison
prepared a thesis on Christian
Life and Problems of Sexuality.
He published the work in 1951;
within two years it was placed
on the Index by the Holy Office.
His other published works are
The Harmony of the HumanCou-
ple, To Know Love, Morality
for Our Times and Celibacy.

WHY
NOT
NAME
ONE
FOR
YOUR
FAVORITE
SAINT?
Here’s a sampling of mail from hungry southern
India. It says, in gist, that God will be at home
there if people have a place to pray. . . . From
Elikatoor, writes Father Joseph: "My 39 fami
lies, all of them converts, hear Mass now in a
cramped, crumbling shed. They’ll build a new
church free-of-charge but they’re too poor to
buy the materials ($2,200). Will someone help
them?’’ . . . $2,450 is enough for a church in
Keezhillam, where Mass is offered in a private
hut. . . . And in Karimba, writes Msgr. Matthew
Nedungatt, hundreds of families will join the
Church once there's a place for Mass. The cost:
$3,800. . . . How many churchless villages are
there in southern India? Here in New York we
have requests for 27 of them, all approved by
the Holy Father. . . . Build a low-cost church in
your loved' ones’ memory, named for your fa
vorite saint? Write to us right now. You’ll know
in your lifetime you’ve done something perma
nent for God. . . . Send at least as much as you
can ($100, $75, $25, $10, $5, $2) for a church
in a churchless village. Give the poor a place to
workship God.
To feed the starving in Kothamangalam, south
India, Bishop Matthew Pothanamuzhi received
$2,502.73 from the Holy Father last month. The
money came from our readers.
You don't have to be single to belong to a group
called MISS (Mary Immaculate's Sponsors of
Seminarians) in Buffalo, N. Y. You don't even
have to live in Buffalo. .. . Ask Patricia and Nan
Halligan (1070 Parkside, Buffalo, N. Y., 14214)
how you can participate by mail in training
future priests, building mission chapels, etc.
They’ll answer your letter promptly, give you a
MISSion of your own.
