Archbishop's Notebook
• Youth Dissents
1 love to read the letters to the editor,
especially the sour ones. They help all of
us to come out of our hot houses and live
with people as they are.
Maybe once a week, 1 get a personal
letter. It's written for me, but I often
consider it the kind of letter I want to
share with the readers. One such letter
came last week. 1 called the young lady
who wrote it and thanked her. And I
asked for (and received) her permission
to use it in this column, deleting her
name and her parish.
DEAR ARCHBISHOP:
The time has come that it is neces
sary to speak. Everyone dissents and
criticizes...now it is my turn. So 1
shall dissent with the dissenters and criti
cize the criticizers. Perhaps I should sub
title tiiis letter "Youth Complains and Ex
plains.'* 1 do hope that you will accept
it in all seriousness.
It is wondered and often speculated why
my generation protests and demonstrates.
Could it be that discontent and a general
tendency toward sometimes unreasoned
criticism are assimilated from our
environment?
A parent is astounded that his son or
daughter refuses to assist at Mass on
Sunday. On Saturday he heard his father
curse the Church's teachings on race
relations. Friday hfe heard his mother and
a Catholic neighbor exchange gossip about
"the affair Father X is having with Mrs.
Y." Yet it is not comprehensible to them
why this child has no respect for his Church
and why he Is "losing his Faith” after being
so well brought up and being sent to
Catholic schools.
A parent is troubled that his child pickets
the local draft board. During March the
Child listened for hours as his father
juggled his "exemptions" from Federal
income tax because "the government
is bleeding the last penny out of us and
not giving us a thing in return, and
we don't owe them anything we can get out
of paying." He also hears daily venomous
tirades against the President (who is
modified with unrepeatable adjectives), the
Congress, the Supreme Court, and anyone
else who has the gall to work for that
sorry government in Washington.
Young people today are like they are
because of (or in spite of) those who
precede them. How can a truly sensitive
Christian youth resolve in his mind the
selfformed ideals with that world which
demands of him that he accept hatred as
a moral code; that he conduct business
with ethics based on quasi-legalities which
boil down to cheating the next guy as much
as you can get by with; that he choose a
profession with salary inmind, notservice
or satisfaction; that he conform to social
standards, current attitudes, and a status
quo because to differ would not look good?
• Details Distorted
Archbishop Hallinan, at the base of all
this is a deep concern for the spiritual
state of my parish. And I fear for the effect
it must be having on the young people.
Everyone is willing to condem n the priests.
They pick tiny details, magnify them many-
fold, and distort them In the retelling.
No longer Is a distinction made between
personal dislike and priestly in -
competence. Even I can not deny that I
have met other priests with whom I am
more comfortable. But thisdoesn’tchange
the basic fact that Mass is offered, the
sacraments administered, there is
someone ready to competently handle
spiritual problems, the bills are being
paid, and a logical basis for criticism is
often lacking. Rumors and criticism
abound. It is not always possible to catch
and correct these unfounded "gossip-
epidemics” which sometimes evenpertain
to the Church as a whole.
In defense let me say, please do not
totally blame our priests. I have lived in
this parish for ten years and never have
we seem ed fully satisfied. The parish had it
out for Father from the moment he
arrived—even before. It is an unfair pre
formed attitude for many. I cannot say
that he has not given to some at least a
small reason to dislike him (he is honest
and says what many don't wish to hear).
But likewise I must say many resent the
fact that at last the parish is beginning
to be a vital acting force in their lives.
They don't like their "Sunday religion"
being made a full-time obligation.
* Because I Care
You are probably wondering why I am
taking up your valuable time with my
spouting off. First, becauselcare(strange
as itmay seeminthisdayandage); second,
someone must be objective in these things
and maintain that there is a second side to
everything; third, I'd like to tell you
emphatically that young people still want to
love their Church, observe it intelligently,
and support its authority; and lastly, I feel
that the time has come for youth to
emphasize why they are discontent and to
discuss it sensibly, rather than to protest
for mere protest’s sake. You areChrist's
representative to us. Therefore communi
cation with you is essential.
Please forgive my jumpy thoughts: I
think too fast to organize. But if the letter
appears bad—I can manage to talk even
more incoherently! If only we, the youth,
could always realize that life is very
beautiful If we only choose with care the
people whom we imitate! And looking
toward good leaders, we can not help
but be reassured that God and the Christ-
life are still with us.
God love you, and please pray that
our parish may realize the true spirit
of God’s love,
ARCHBISHOP OF ATLANTA
Lay Leaders Endorse Parish Units
SPOKANE, Wash. (NC)—The
establishment of lay councils in
every parish in the Spokane
diocese has been recommended
by an ad hoc assembly of
65 Spokane lay leaders.
The parish councils received
endorsement at a lay meeting
called by the diocesan Councils
of Catholic Men and Catholic
Women.
Those attending the meeting
criticized the Bishop’s Lay
Council, which is composed of
eight men and three women, as
not being representative enough
and not communicating ef
fectively.
King Cole, president of the
diocesan Council of Catholic
Men, said the parish councils
were "necessary grass-roots
organizations" before dioc
esan-wide lay action could be
implemented.
THE THREE CHILDREN who beheld the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima, in a photo

9; and their cousin, Lucia dos Santos, 11. Only. Lucia, now a Carmelite nun,, is still alive.
