Vatican had "greeted with joy"

^dialogue and collaboration be
tween them.
The group's latest activities
were described in a report re
ceived by the Executive Com-
rnittee. The full report was not

tee.
Dr. Blake described the
working group’s report as
"merely a progress report."
The next meeting would be in
May.
"We have,” he added, "begun
a study of mixed marriages,
which is new, and are working
on problems of proselytism. We
have also made a beginning on
areas of collaboration in justice
and peace, on which Pope Paul
established a new commission
at the end of last year, and we
are expecting to hear from him
on further collaboration with
other Vatican organizations."
Dr. Payne, in answer to a.
journalist’s question, disclosed
that relations with the Catholic
Church will be a key topic at
a meeting of the WCC's Faith
and Order Commission this
Summer at Bristol, England.
He said this commission,
which meets every two years,
will sit at Bristol from July
29 to August 9. There was no
discussion of the commission’s
actual program at the Executive
Committee meeting, but the
programme said.was following the
various plans which the com
mission has for discussion on
different matters.
"These include the develop
ment of relations with the Ro
man Catholic and other Chur
ches and assistance on various
schemes of Church negotiations
in different parts of the world,
"he said. "This Spring, prior
to the meeting of the commis
sion at Bristol, there will be a
special gathering at which
people who’ are involved in
church union negotiations will
meet to compare notes."

GEORGIA BULLETIN, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1967
DAVID Cartwright of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, takes his son,
Terence, 9, out of St. Ann parochial school after the local board
of education declined to give him $620 to help pay for the boy's
schooling. He filed an injunction action in court to restrain the
board from requiring Terence's attendance at school until it pays
$620, the amount Mr. Cartwright said the board spends annually
on each public school pupil. The father maintains that he pays
about $800 a year in public school taxes, but gets nothing from
the school board in return. He holds a parent has the right tq
send his child to any school certified by the state without charge.

Bishop’s Urging
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (RNS)~
Priests in the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Kansas City-St.
Joseph were urged to speed im
plementation of the liturgical
reforms in their parishes be
cause "major differences in
this regard between adjacent
...parishes are frequently a
source of shock and bewilder
ment to the laity.”
In a pastoral letter, Bishop
Charles H. Helmsing said lay
persons have told him on sev
eral occasions that their priests
were not properly implement
ing the liturgy changes of the
Second Vatican Council.
"Major difference in this re
gard between adjacent or near
by parishes are frequently a
source of shock and bewilder
ment to the laity,” Bishop
Helmsing said. "We do an in
justice to our people by depriv
ing them of meaningful worship
or by giving them a false se
curity in forms of the past while
their neighbors progress step
by step in the spirit of the
Council."
Specifically, the bishop said
New Theology Is Called
Bewildering By Lutheran
he referred to the use of lay
men as commentators, congre
gational singing of three or
four hymns at every well at
tended Sunday Mass, properuse
of altar, 'choir, and pulpit, and
the full observaiiceoftherubrics
which went into effect on Jan.
27, 1965.
“I am confident," he; said,
"that all our parish priests
will see the value of a uniform
and progressive liturgical re
form" and will be willing to
"educate their people in full
liturgical participation."
DALLAS (RNS)--A noted Lu
theran theologian declared here
that some religious educators
are bewildered by exponents of
the "new theology" and "new
morality" who have not "put
all their cards on the table."
The impact of the so-called
new theology and morality on
religious education was discus
sed by Dr, Martin E. Marty of
the University of Chicago Di
vinity School before a section of
the National Council of Church
es* Division of Christian Edu
cation at its annual meeting.
He asserted that "we have to
face the fact that the new moral
ist and the new theologian have
given the educator little to work
with, little to pick up, few clues
to enlarge,"
"They have commitments
based on tradition, or metaphy
sics, or revelation," he said,
‘They have disguised these
commitments, but they have not
gotten rid of them. The educa
tor must force the new moral
ist to set these forth."
/
Dr, Marty said that “situa
tion ethics," a by-word forthe
new moralists, gives a good
clue to what is important in
their thinking, but the new
moralist must ‘let that educa
tor spell out how infinitely com
plex situations always are, and
how much we need to face
them."
By the same token, he con
tinued, the new theologians are
right in their **fundamental
New Mexico
Abortion Law
Reform Beaten
SANTA FE, N.M. (RNS)~
A bill to liberalize New Mexi
co’s abortion law has been de
feated in the State Senate by a
narrow'margin. Major opposi
tion to the measure came from
the Roman Catholic Church.
The Senate voted 21 18
against the bill, which would
have broadened the conditions
under which abortions would be
permissible. It would have al
lowed abortions when the men
tal health of the mother was
endangered, if there was a pro
bability that a child would be
bom with serious defects, and
when the pregnancy resulted
from rape or incest. District
court approval would have been
required for every abortion,
after testimony from two physi-
cans.
The bill had been favored,
7-6, by the Senate public af
fairs committee. It marked
the first time a pro-abortion
bill had won committee appro
val in the history of the New
Mexico Legislature.
Men, Women Merge Units
ST. LOUIS (RNS)--The two
largest Roman Catholic men’s
and women’s organizations here
will be merged into a single
service organization, delegates
to the first joint convention of
the Archdiocesan Council of Ca
tholic Men and Women were
told.
The announcement by the mo
derator of both groups, Father
Robert F. . Kaletta, said the
first joint convention had been
urged by Joseph Cardinal Rit
ter "in order that we might
work together and be more ef
fective in the apostolate of the
Church in St. Louis."
"And I would like to announce
that, with the cardinal’s appro
val,” Father Kaletta continued,
"we will start Immediately to
plan the creation of one single
service organization."
approach to ‘secular’ theology,
if only they will let the educator
spell out how infinitely complex
and ambiguous this secular
world really is, and how much
help people need to face it."
Dr. Marty maintained that
both new theologians and new
moralists have let educators
down by failing tq expose their
roots in Biblical tradition. Sec
ular man, he observed, needs
the insights of these new Chris
tian thinkers, but tends to dis
trust them because they fail to
show the solid ground on which
then stand.
"It is natural," the Lutheran
minister said, "that some edu
cators would be defensive and
reactive against the changes.
They are threatened by the new
and are involved with religion
because it has insulated them
against shock. Some of these
fears may be legitimate, but
they are not our first concern.
"Most people who expose
themselves to these topics at
all are ready for change; they
are positively oriented toward
it. They know that the new
spokesmen are speaking a fresh
language in a new day. They
know that what we have had —
the old, routine, legalistic,
wearying patterns — have little
left in them, and they look for the
new. They wait to pick up clues.
“My impression is that they
have, had precious little to pick
up, for all their openness and
goodwill."
Dr. Marty said that while
"some of the jargon of the pqst-
Honest-to-God theology has
worked its way into educational
literature, no new construction,
no new systematic or ordered
approach to Christian reality
has become intelligible."
