EDITOR:
I want to take this opportunity
to express my deepest appre
ciation and to let you know what
an outstanding job Father Rap
hael McDonald did on the Cu
ban refugees that landed in Sa
vannah.
Since entering the ministry
and work of The Salvation Army
I have had the privilege of work
ing very closely with many of
the Catholic Fathers* Never
have I worked with a person of
more concern and dedication
than Father McDonald showed
towards these men.
I want you to know that Father
McDonald was an inspiration to
me and, my life has been much
richer from this occasion of
working with him on this sub
ject.
I only hope that it might be
my privilege of working with
this dedicated person once
again.
Feel free at any time to call
on the Salvation Army in Sa-

whatsoever to you or any mem
ber of your Diocese, pleasecall
me.

EDITOR:
It certainly was wonderful
news to hear that the Spald
ing Memorial Chapel and New
man Center at the University of
Georgia will be dedicated Sun
day, Feb. 12.
However, there was one fact
in your article that did upset
me greatly. This was the fact
that on one window, the Trap-
pist Monks had the extern ely
poor taste of putting an adver
tisement for their bread in the
House of God.
I’m sure that if the builders
had tried hard enough they could
have had some windows read
ing: "Ride to Church in a Ford,”
or, "While in the area, Visit
Stone Mt..” In fact, they could
have had a window from the
Georgia students reading:
"BEAT TECH.’’
In my opinion any one of the
above would be no worse than,
"Buy Monks Bread." I, for
one, would like to see the win
dow taken out. I thoroughly ap
prove of giving the Monks cre
dit for creating the window.
However, I do not think that
this should be in the form of
an advertisement for their
bread.

BROTHER DONALD, C.S.C.
4950 N. DAUPHINE ST.
NEW ORLEANS, LA. 70117
CULLMAN, Ala. — "Out of
it all, the ugliness and glory,
the boasts and humble prayers,
we inherit once again, what We
have called before, a new
South,*’
With these words, Archbishop
Paul Hallinan’s representative
opened Saint Bernard-Sacred i
Heart's Diamond Jubilee Lec
ture Series Thursday night at
Sacred Heart College auditor
ium.
Father Matthew Kemp, exe
cutive secretary for the arch
bishop's Atlanta archdiocesan
commission on church unity,
read the archbishop's paper on
ecumenism in the South to an
audience including members of
Cullman's Episcopal and Luthe
ran clergy.
The archbishop, originally
scheduled to open the series in
person sent Father Kemp to
read the speech for him.
"We are haunted with spring, *’
the archbishop’s paper said, "if
we stay apart in sectarian iso- *
lation, it will be a cruel, decep-
tjye^ spring. But if we-diml*.--
unity's ladder, step by step, with
courage and patience, it will be
a spring of Christian hope.*’
The archbishop, in writing the
paper, referred back to a talk
delivered in last year’s lecture-
concert series offered by North
Alabama's twin colleges.
Father Bernard Law, editor
of the Mississippi Register,
has discussed two main topics
in his lecture on ecumenism in
the South. He explained the
newly-developed Catholic ap
proach by a fine analysis of the
recent Vatican decree and he
surveyed what 12 Southern

Increasing Use
Of Contraception
Catholic dioceses were doing.
The archbishop approached
the topic from another direc
tion: he presented his audience
with an analysis of Christian
movements in the South since
1800.
He saw the Presbyterian,
Methodist, and Baptist church
es as the three main-stream
Southern churches.
At the “two extremes, *' he
saw Baptist and Catholic church
members showing a "hard in
transigence hardly worthy of
Christ’s followers."
Moreover, he saw the main
stream of religious tendencies
in the South primarily influenc-
ced by the Calvinist conception
of God, plus the "Dissenters*
moral code of the 17th Cen
tury.**
He said these factors — the
influence of the three main
Christian sects and the basic
persuasion which affected them
so deeply — were at the roots
of the South's economic, social,..
. political, economic, and rejig-,
ious life.
The history of Christianity.
in the South, he said, has been
primarily one of dissension and
conflict. Protestant against
Protestant, Catholic against
Protestant — these were the
signs of the times prior to 1900.
Yet, beneath the quarreling
and bickering, the archbishop
saw a deep urge or instinct to
unity. He said four factors
finally allowed this instinct to
bear fruit in the quarreling
Protestant churches:
The revivalism of 1805-1806,
the anti-Catholic campaign
started in the 1850*s due to
heavy Irish and German immi
gration, the war of 1861-1865,
which unified the Southern
churches while splitting them
off from their northern coun
terparts, and the union against
science and the new philoso
phies.
Then in die 20th century, the
archbishop saw the instinct for
unity gathering more force:
“Perhaps," he said, “die
two World Wars have forced our
generation to re-examine the
power of the old instinct for re
ligious unity. Can the churches
today offer us a unity that poli
tics, economics, and science
have failed to provide?*’
However, he saw certain for
ces opposing this trend — “the
isolated worship of God, a sus
picion of the human intellect,
racial and economic sectarian
ism, based not on love but fear.”
Did the archbishop, then, see
hope for the eventual triumph
of this Southern instinct for
religious unity? Yes.
"On the ecumenical road
way," he said, “there are
detours, road-blocks, soft
shoulders, and pot-holes. But,
as in every human endeavor,.
God works in his own good time.
We must trust that his Son’s
prayer, ‘that they all will be
one,* will be realized whether
with, without, or alongside our
puny efforts. The ladder of re
ligious unity has many steps,
and there is no place to start
except at the bottom rung.”

Nazi Death Order To Be Cited
In Sister Edith Stein Case
MUNICH, Germany (NC) —
The nazi order that led to the
concentration camp death of
Carmelite nun Edith Stein is be
ing brought before a court here
that is trying three former nazi-
officials for the joint murder of
thousands of Dutch Jews.
Robert M. Kempner, U. S,
lawyer who is representing
Edith Stein's relatives, said he
will present the order. It states
that because the Dutch Catholic
bishops publicly attacked nazi
extermination of Jews, "this
week all baptized Jews are to
be brought into concentration
camps. Interventions will not
be acknowledged."
After the order was issued
Edith Stein was arrested. She
was sent to Auschwitz, Poland,
and was killed there either on
Aug. 8 or 9, 1942. A major
persecution of all Dutch Jews
followed the issuance of the
Dutch bishops* pastoral letter.
At the trial here Kempner is
also representing the Loeb fam
ily, which lost five of its mem
bers — two priests and three
Right Wing Pupils

nuns—at Auschwitz, and Otto
Frank, father of the world-
famous diarist Anne Frank.
A
Kempner’s wife, Benedicte
Maria Kempner, is the author
of “Priests Before Hitler's
Tribunals," a report on the
trials and deaths of priests un
der the nazis. Kempner was a
deputy U.S. prosecutor at the
Nuremberg war crimes trials.
Defendants at the trial are
two former nazi security police
officials, Dr. Wilhelm Harster
and Wilhelm Zoepf, and one of
their employees, Gerturde
Slottke.

BOSTON (RNS) — An in
creasing number of Roman
Catholic women in North and
South America are making use
of contraceptives to limit the
size of their families despite
Church disapproval, according
to a Cornell University socio
logist.
Dr. Mayone Stypos, director
of Cornell's International Pop
ulation program and chairman
of the university's sociology de
partment, spoke here at the
fourth annual conference of the
Catholic Inter-American Co
operation Program (CICOP).
He reported to the conference
on his studies of "Catholic
ism and Birth Control in the
Western Hemisphere."
Dr. Stypos is the co-author,
With K. W. Back, of The Control
of Human Fertility in Jamaica
and co-editor of Population Di
lemma in Latin America.
He said that some surveys
indicated that 75 per cent of
married Latin American Cath
olic women had practiced con
traception at one time or other.
Noting that by the close of
this century Latin America's
population will more than dou
ble, the sociologist said the sur
veys indicated that a majority
of women living in cities felt
that birth control information
should be available for them.
Dr. Stypos also reported a
high abortion rate in the South
American nations. He contend
ed that this is “a good indica
tion that women will resort to
illegal, dangerous and irrelig
ious measures to control their
fertility if other means are not
provided."
The speaker cited the U.S.
Bishops’ statement of last Nov.
14 in which they noted threats
to the "free choice of spous
es," and "to the right to
found a large fam ily.’ ’
He said this statement rep
resented a significant change
in the hierarchy’s viewpoint
"for in defending the rights of
couples to have large families,
the bishops implicitly defend
their right to have small ones.”

MEXICO CITY (NC)—Inves
tigation into an apparently left-
wing group that charged into a
Puebla church hurling fire
crackers, rockets and water
balloons has revealed that the
students were actually, mem
bers of an ultra-conservative
political faction.
All students at Catholic
schools in Puebla, the crowd of
over 100 tore into Holy Spirit
Church to disrupt a mission
meeting attended by 180 priests
from all parts of Mexico,
Members of the Anti-Com
munist University Front, the
students reportedly made a de
liberate effort to throw the
blame for the disturbance on
liberal and communists stu
dents at the local university.

The rightist organization to
which the students belong, al
though it claims a Catholic
orientation, was officially re
pudiated several years ago by
Church authorities, Now grow
ing tension between right-and
left-wing students is apparently
leading to outbreaks of violence
similar to those that culminated
in a university students’ attack
on a Catholic academy three
years ago.:
The assembly invaded by the
students was the Third General
Missionary Meeting, a confer
ence of priests and lay leaders
active in the missionary aposto-
late. The invading students
destroyed quantities of litera
ture that were to have been
given out at the conference.
