Change Canon 968
Women Press For Priesthood
LONDON (RNS) —New moves
to secure the admission of
women as priests in the Roman
Catholic Church are foresha
dowed by the outcome of a two-
day conference here of some 60
women delegates from seven
countries.
They -‘adopted a
tiori in the Church. They parti
cularly urged that Canon 968,
which states that only a baptized
man is eligible for the priest
hood, should be changed to read
a baptized ‘person.”
Another resolution "trusts
that competent women will be
included in all post-Conciliar
commissions.” It was also urg
ed that women should be allow
ed to take up degrees in theo
logy at Catholic universities
and institutes so that they will
no longer have to go to secular
universities if they wish to qua
lify in theology.

For Pamphlets
Bishop Suspends
Outspoken Priest
PARIS (RNS) — Father Georges de Nantes of Troyes, one of
France’s most outspoken Catholic traditionalists, has been suspend
ed from his priestly faculties by his bishop for carrying his spirit
ual pamphlet-writing too far.
Father de Nantes, the object
in the past of several ecclesias
tical sanctions, had over recent
years been writing "A Letter
To My Friends” which wasdis-
tributed to influential Catholics
in all social circles.
But in the eyes of Bishop Ju-
lien le CouedicofTroyes, Fath
er de Nantes exceeded all
bounds of reason when —
against formal orders from the
bishop — he published an "Ap
peal to Rome,” a kind of open
letter to Alfredo Cardinal Otta-
viani, Pro-Prefect of the Sac
red Congregation of the Doc
trine of the Faith (formerly
the Holy Office) of which ex
tracts were published in the
newspaper Paris-Presse.
Father de Nantes began by
saying that "our misfortune
began the day when the Pope
programmed an Ecumenical
Council to remodel the face
of the Church by modernizing
it." Thus it happened, he said,
that the Church's “defenders"
became its "accusers."
This resulted, he affirmed, in
"A new religion where social
commitment is more important
than faith, and obedience to men
more important than the wor
ship of God.”
Father de Nantes charged that
seminarians: who signed a Viet
nam peace appeal were "sus
pected of disobedience to the
Pope and the Council" while
those who militated for mar
riage in the priesthood were
considered as being "pro
foundly engaged in the apostolic
reform of the Church.”
Addressing himself directly
to Cardinal Ottaviani, Father
de Nantes said: "When you de
clare religious liberty, allow us
to recall the Syllabus (of Pius
IX). You praise political de
mocracy, let us find it bad. You
condemn anti-Semitism; .do,not
prevent us , from denouncing
Semitism as the mostt obsti
nate racism and greatest enemy
of the Church. If you take this
freedom away from us, you
would be abdicating your divine
and Catholic authority.”
Commenting on the historic
meeting between Pope Paul VI
and the Archbishop of Canter
bury, Dr. Arthur Michael Ram
sey, Father de Nantes said he
felt it should be recalled that the
archbishop was, in fact, "neith
er a bishop, neither a priest,
and less than the least member
of the Church faithful.”
The "new spirit” in the
Church, said Father de Nantes,
had led to "the abandoning of
the clerical dress by priests”
and even by nuns. One no long
er saw priests praying to nor
visiting the Holy Sacrament.
Evening services and vespers
had “practically disappeared
from the 40,000 parish churches
in France. Only the Sunday wor
ship remains."
Formerly the parish priest of
the VElemaur congregation in
the Aube department of France,
Father de Nantes had begun by
writing “Spiritual Lettters”
to some fifty persons who had
accepted him as their spiritual
director. Soon afterwards, he
was writing "Letters of The
ology’ for an enlarged read
ership.
In the early sixties appeared
his "Letters of Political Mor
als," which principally denoun
ced the support of certain Cath
olic circles for the indepen
dence of Algeria, '
