Says Some Falter
>e Hails Fervor
Following Council
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy,
(RNS) -- Pope Paul VI hailed
what he Said were "the new
outbursts of religious fervor"
that have characterized the post
Vatican II period.
At the same time, he noted
with "sorrow" the rise of doubts
concerning the faith among
some members of theChurchin
the wake of the Second Vatican
Council.
“All the Church is in a fer
ment," the Pope said, as he
enumerated the evidences of
new religious fervor. Among the
evidences he listed were:
1. The study of the conciliar
decrees is being actively pro
moted.
2. The reform of the Liturgy
has slowly started and is over
coming the first difficulties. It
is beginning to be applied with
the growing comprehension and
understanding on the part of the
faithful, and, as a result, with
better celebrations of the
sacred rite.
3. The hierarchy is solicit
ing the institution of new struc
tures for the better understand
ing of the spirit of the Council.
4. The religious orders are
changing their constitutions in
accordance with the new teach
ings of the Vatican Council. I
5. Laymen have answered the
call for a closer, more active ■
adhesion to the church of God. ;
6. All the people of God have
awakened and are fully under
standing their role in life and
aspiring to live more intimately
the mystery of grace establish- ;
ed by Christ. They are also :
looking at the present world with
a more Christian outlook.
After expressing his pleasure
over the new religious fervor ;
in the Church, the Pope went i
on to note,however, that there
was also another not so en
couraging side to the picture.
Specifically, he deplored an ap
parent dimunition of spiritual
faith among some members of
the Church.
"Some trends of mind that are
present in classes of Chris
tians would seem to indicate a
lesser enthusiasm in being Ca
tholics," he said adding:
"A certain weariness and
doubts are arising in the hearts
of these Catholics. This hap
pens because by faith we do not
mean just a simple religious
feeling, but a firm adhesion to
those truths which the church
tells us to believe.

Christian Movement
Will Explore Draft
CHICAGO (RNS)~Protestant,
Orthodox and Roman Catholic
college students, meeting here
for the first tirne as the "Uni
versity Christian Movement,’’
listed military conscription as a
current major issue on cam
puses and launched a detailed
study Of selective service ques
tions.
All issues involved in the
“draft, the assembly said, “con-
•froilt'us' as'Ohri'stians withsef- *
ious moral and theological
questions which we must at
tempt to answer and then act
upon if we are to be responsi
ble.’’
The UCM was formed here
as delegates to the eighth an
nual General Assembly of the
National Student Christian Fed
eration voted that Protestartt
organization out of existence.
The new unit, which will be of
ficially identified as a "relat
ed movement’’ of the National
Council of Churches, is an un
precedented undertaking by ma
jor Protestant, Orthodox, An-
semination of material bn se
lective service.
The committee is to explore
such matters as conscientious
. objection, alternative service
and draft resistance. It also
will coordinate UCM activities
on selective service with the
National Council of Churches,
the Fellowship of Reconcilia
tion, Students for a Democratic -
Society, the Students Peace Un
ion, Friends Committee on Na
tional Legislation and the War
Resistors League.
Committees of the UCM on
politics and theology were call
ed on to be prepared to testify
on draft questions in Congress
and it was urged that the or
ganization take part in a propos
ed national youth consultation
on selective service.
NEW YORK (RNS)--The re
building of urban ghettos is an
e ssential step toward the solu-
| tion of America’s racial prob
lems and must be a joint effort
of religious, civic, government
and other agencies, a Rosh Has
hanah message issued by the
American Jewish Committee
declared here.
Morris B. Abram, president
of the human relations organi-
:■ zation, said in the message that
the "massive deterioration of
our cities must be dealt with as
a top priority domestic concern
of the federal government.’
He called for a "working
partnership of government, in
dustry, private philanthropy and
the mutual help and self-aid of
those most affected' -- the ur
ban poor.”
Abram said that the "poverty
and helplessness that afflict the
inhabitants of our urban ghet
tos’’ give rise to the increas
ing extremism and polarization
of the civil rights conflict."
"Such polarization will solve
no problems and may inflict
lasting damage to our demo
cratic society," he warned.
The High Holy Days state
ment for the Jewish New Year
5727, beginning at sundown on
Sept. 14, also dealt with the
foreign scene, specifically with
the Jewish people in Russia,
with “neo-Nazism* in Ger
many and Austria, with Israel
and the Middle East, and with
Latin America.
Abram said that Jews in Rus- .
sia "are still subject to dis
crimination in their religious,
educational and cultural life.”
He noted that recently “evi
dence has been forthcoming that
Jews in other countries of East
ern Europe are free to carry
on extensive communal life and
fully manifest their religious
beliefs."
This, he added, "is all the
more reason to continue de
manding full and religious and
cultural rights for the Jews of
the Soviet Union.”
Regarding Germany and Aus
tria, Abram said that while
"concrete steps toward demo
cracy" have^ been taken in
those countries since World
War II, “recent signs of a re
awakening totalitarian spirit
within certain segments of both
lands call for undiminished
watchfulness and caution."
He expressed hope that
"peace and full security" would
come to the Middle East and not
ed that there has been an in-
' crease "in the voices of mod
eration in the Arab world in
their attitudes toward Israel."
In Latin America, Abram
said, the overthrow of several
democratic governments was a
disturbing factor since political
instability frequently leads to
prejudice and hatred. He pled
ged continued efforts to assist
Jewish communities there to
"achieve a life of security and
dignity."
St. Pius Lions
Will Take On
Sandy Springs
The St. Pius X Golden Lions
battle the Sandy Springs Panth
ers tomorrow night at 8 p.m.
at Sandy Springs' Stadium.
This will be St. Pius’ first
region match. Last Friday
night, the Panthers lost their
opening region game, 13-9, to
the Marist Cadets.
St. Pius in its first two games
is undefeated and unscored on.
The Lions form a strong de
fensive line while Sandy Springs
vouches a powerful backfield.
Both teams are picked to be
contenders in the 5-AA region,
Sandy Springs was favored to be
number one.
Marist, however, tightened
the competition by winning last
weekend. St. Pius plays Marist
in their final game, Nov. 11.

olic High School are among the

EDITOR:
Three cheers for Father Do
nald Kiernan's article in the
Sept. 1 issue of the Bulletin.
Openness to the past and to the
future is so important for the
vigorous life of the Church. Fa
ther Kiernan’s plea for experi
mentation reflects the thinking
of many people in the Arch
diocese.
While there are indeed many
who fear "taking chances" in
the life of the Church, others
feel that the good of the past
was discovered precisely by
those who dared to take risks.
Holding on to true values of
the past and fortified by the
love of Christ as He reveals
this love to us in our love for
one another, We can all contri
bute to a vital futute in the life
of the Church of Atlanta, and
the Church Universal. Chris
tian love will preserve all va
lues of the past and lead us in
to the adventure of Christ’s
life where we dare to taste of
His “new wine", - a wine some
times very different from any
thing we have tasted before.
REV. CONALD FOUST
ASSISTANT,SACRED HEART
EDITOR:
On the “Fish or Fowl” ques
tion, I agree wholeheartedly
with Kay Hoine (Sept. 8 edition)
who stated her desire for re
taining the laws of fast and ab
stinence.
Reading the other letters, it
puzzles me why most people
seem to think that fish on Fri
day is an unreasonable, un
breakable law which causes one
to experience embarrassment,
starvation and or allergies if
need be under pain of mortal
sin. Naturally they want it done
away with.
As a convert I was taught
(correctly, I hope) that there
are situations when meat can
be eaten on Friday without
incurring even venial sin, and
1 learned that people can be
excused from the laws of fast
and abstinence under circum
stances such as poor health,
etc. In other words, I never
read or was taught that the laws
are so restrictive as some
seem to believe.
As for the idea of imposing
one’s own penance, the ques
tion is--for how long? It is
really not human nature to
force sacrifices on oneself.
I cannot state my opinion
on the subject as well as Kay
Hoine did, but I do believe that
the Church - imposed fish on
Friday rule does serve to re
mind me weekly that I am a
Catholic who is making a mi
nor sacrifice for Christ.
MISS JOYCE MASTNY
ATLANTA
EDITOR:
I am in favor of retaining
the Friday abstinence.
Most of us do so little to
ward showing out appreciation
to our Divine Savior for the
great sacrifices and suffering
he did for us for our redemp
tion. I feel Friday abstinence
should be continued to com
memorate the day he made
the supreme sacrifice.
I admit meat on Friday is
very tempting as my work has
taken me away from home a
great part of my life. I have
been married to a good Me
thodist over 50 years, and there
are times when she forgot my
Fridays; but she arranges a
good meal when she forgets
and I feel sure she admires
my sticking to my faith.
If the ladies that -are so
inconvenienced by Friday’s will
discuss causes with her con
fessor he will give her relief.
Let us keep Friday abstinence
and give relief to specific cases.

EDITOR:
.I’m for fish and fasting. In
this day and time, the youth,
especially in America, have
much more than meager ne
cessities. Most of them con
sider our luxuries of the past
as basic necessities to their
modern way of life. The majo
rity have been brought up with
every modern convenience and
have done without little.
Those of us who have grown
up with Lenten rules and fish
on Friday will always use them,
perhaps to a lesser degree, but
we will feel a void when that
spiritual uplift of self-disci
pline is gone.
I have considered fasting as
one of the wisest of all church
movements because it stabili
zes the emotions in the area
of self control. I pray that if
the Church does see fit to re
lax or to remove the rules of
fish and fasting, that it will find
a way to strengthen the desire
of our minds and hearts to at
tain higher spiritual heights.

God Love You
MOST REVEREND FULTbN J. SHEEN
How much do we really love the poor? Just suppose that you
came into, 75,000 times as much money as you have now. How
much would you give to the lepers? The hungry in India? The
homeless in Vietnam? Well, listen to this I In one Latin American
slum a woman lived with several children by different husbands.
She gathered papers and rags, then sold them
to keep her and her children from starvation.
At night she would write out on scraps of
paper her thoughts during the day/She hurled
curses at the rich merchants who dumped
their rotten fruit in the slums, at a poor priest
who came to help them within the limits of
his means but she also had beautiful thoughts
such as thanking God for letting her dream
about palm trees and gardens - she who lived
in a rat-infested shack. Then, she sold her
her notes. He book was translated into 22 languages, and sold
over 90,000 copies in six months. Her immediate income was
$75,000; her fame, almost universal. She autographed 600 books
in a single day in one book store. She bought a brick house and
a farm away from the slums. Where is she today? Back in the
slums, ferreting among garbage pails, maybe still making notes
but once again a scavenger.
How quickly possessions posses us! How much hatred of the
rich is born of envy! How often professed love of the poor never
finds its way into sacrifice! Here was one who, though poor, be
came rich and then poor again. Our Lord, the Scriptures tell
us, "Was rich, andyetHebecamepoorfor our sakes, that though
His poverty we might become rich". May I suggest to the priests
who read this, and to all who have any kind of securities, that
you begin thinking about your possessions. Leave themfor Christ,
Christ in the poor, not in rich institutions. Leave them to the
Holy Father who promises to distribute it all within a year after
your death to the poor of the world. Would we have thought that
this woman would have done her duty if she had given all her
money to help build a big library in a university or to aid a rich
institution? Why not? You know why? She should have helped the
poor. Then why not you? Remember Christ is in the rich only
when they are virtuous, but He is in the poor because they are
poor.
