CATHOLIC LEADER SAYS
Detroiters Have Learned To
Treat Negroes As Individuals
DETROIT (RNS)—"A few
year, ago there would have been
nothing but hatred for all Neg
roes because of what a hard
core of extremists have done,*’
said Joseph Hansknecht, lay
man who heads the human rela
tions program of the Detroit
Roman Catholic archdiocese.
But Hansknecht emphasized
that the response of Detroiters
to the thousands of innocent per
sons burned out of their homes
"marks a complete change of
attitude toward the Negroes in
recent years.*’
"Detroiters have learned to
treat Negroes as individuals,’’
he observed.
Working with other agencies
and individual churches, the
Catholic Project Commitment
headed by Hansknecht was able
to line up facilities for 2,000
victims by the second day of
the rioting. “We have since lost
count,*’ he said.
Among those opening their
homes to Negro homeless was
the Arthur-Bush family in St.
Mary of Redford’s parish, lo
cated in arj all-white area in
northwest Detroit, approxi
mately ten miles from the riot
scene.

Faith Profession
Text Given Bishops
VATICAN CITY (NC)--A con
siderably abbreviated profes
sion of faith to substitute for
the lengthy oath against mod
ernism has been sent to the
world's bishops by the Dbc-
trinal Congregation.
The formula, like its pre
decessor, is required on cler
ics, Religious and some others
at various important steps in
their ecclesiastical careers. It
includes a profession of be
lief in all the truths contained
in the Nicene Creed as well as
an expression of adherence to
all that is defined by the Church
infallibly or taught by her “or
dinary magisterium” (teaching
authority).
The oath against modernism,

AL MITCHELL, Ownet -
whidh was prescribed in 1910
by the motu proprio Sacrorum
Antistiturn, was intended as a
safeguard against the errors
of modernism, a heresy which
in effect denied Revelation, the
1 supernatural and the divine ori
gin of the Church. It was con
demned by Pope Pius X, in 1907
in his encyclical, Pascendi, and
also by the Doctrinal Congre
gation’s (then the Holy Office)
decree Lamentabili of the same
year.
v The oath .‘.itself spelled out
these errors specifically and
required that those who take it
“adhere with...the whole soul
to all condemnations, declara
tions and prescriptions’’ con
tained in these two documents.
The text of the oath ran slight
ly under 1,000 words.
The new profession of faith,
which was sent to the bishops
in late July, reduces this oath
to oneshortand generajlyword-
ed paragraph, coupled with the
recitation of the Nicene Creed
used at Mass.
A Vatican spokesman noted
shortly after it was mailed out
that it contains all the essential
elements t of the old oath, in-

five children of his own, two
living at home.*’
“We’re all responsible for
these things happening,’’ he
said. “I think therewerelots of
good people in this area and this
type of action may help improve
their understanding of some of
the Negroes’ problems. And it
may improve their acceptance
of their own responsibilities.’’
The Bush family is host to
Mrs. Genevieve Ross and her
four children, ranging from 3 to
11 years of age. Bush admitted
that their addition to his three-
bedroom house had made things
a bit crowded.
“We’re putting some down in
the basement,*’ he said, “but
that was flooded during the
severe storms last week, so
things are in a bit of a mess.’’
Interviewed on the telephone,
Bush was helping two of the
smaller Ross children with a
coloring book, a third boy was
out shopping for food with Mrs.
Bush, while a tired Mrs. RosS
and her youngest child, Linda, 3,
were asleep.
Bush said the reaction of his
white neighbors was "good’’ and
that many had offered food and
clothing for the Ross family.
One family down the block
from him had taken in a Negro
couple with five children, he
said. Another family nearby
(with nine children of their own)
offered a haven to a Negro
family with seven youngsters.

Archdiocesan
Nuns To Attend
Education Meet
Two nuns from the Atlanta
Archdiocese have been named
delegates to attend the annual
Educational Conference the
week of Aug. 14 at the College
of Notre Dame, Baltimore, Md.
The nuns are Sister M. Ro
bert, principal, Sacred Heart
School, Griffin, and Sister Mi-
rian Daniel, principal, St. Ge
rard School, Fort Oglethorpe.
They will view in perspective
the current educational scene
and evaluate their contribution
to it; discuss new educational
ideas and share the results pf
experimentation; and formulate
educational policies.
Over 1,000 School Sisters
of Notre Dame from eight pro
vinces in the United States and
Canada will convene at the col
lege of Notre Dame of Mary
land.
“Leadership in Education’* is
the theme of the 13th educa
tional Conference.
Key speaker for the first
general session, Aug. 16, is
Brother E. Anthony Wallace,
FSC, Associate Secretary of
NCEA, who will discuss the
role of the administrator and of
the school staff in educational
leadership.
Parish To Honor
Msgr.. O’Connor
The parishioners of St. Tho
mas More will honor Msgr.
Patrick J. O'Connor, who will
retire Aug. 15, at a reception
Sunday, Aug. 13.
The reception will be held
in the parish social hall from
3-5:30 p.m. Tony Lawrence will
play the organ at the affair.
The reception is being spon
sored by the Altar and Rosary
Society, the Christian Family
Movement, the school and
finance boards. Friends of the
monsignor are invited to attend.
The ACCW conference gave
the 130 members attending the
meetings an opportunity to study
and discuss areas of involve
ment through five workshop
commissions: Organization
Services, ChurchCommunities,
Family Affairs, Community Af
fairs and International Affairs.
"When 1 first cametoAtlanta
25 years ago, I felt 'lost', ”
said one member, "1 was amaz
ed at the ramifications of this
organization — the 'spread of
projects — and that there are
so many people, mothers with
small children, working wom
en,'all willing to give their time
and talents — even planning the
reports for this meeting was a
big job.”
In the Church Communities
workshop, Mrs. Joseph Meyer
and Mrs. Walter Hesse outlin
ed three areas of study: ecu
menism, scriptures, liturgy.
“Take part in ecumenical dia
logues on the “grass roots”
level, study the changes in the
liturgy-renewal and reform,”
they urged the members, add
ing, "the phrase” people of
God sums up beautifully the
areas of Church Community
activities.” .
Among projects suggested
within the parish was the Flow
er Commission. Why was this
mentioned?, one woman was
asked. She said, "Because,
unfortunately , there are still
some priests who think all that
women in their parish should do
is arrange flowers for the al
tar.”
The Family Affairs commis
sion emphasized the role of the
family "as the first and vital
cell of society,” said Miss
Mary Wells, chairman of the
Northwest Deanery, "How
can parents, or one-parent
families apply Christian prin
ciples to daily life?”
. International affairs commis
sion speakers covered inter
national relief programs to lo
cal programs— working with
foreign students through the
International Visitors organi
zations.
“We hear so much about
what we can do in an interna
tional level,” said one wom
an,” we could also find needs
in our own community. You
could throw a stone out your
back door and find someone in
need,” she said. "As far as
I am concerned, the big prob
lem is one of apathy.”
“We’re inspired,” said Mrs.
Joseph Nolan, St. Thomas the
Apostle parish, Smyrna. "We
have the women in our parish
—now all we need is a place to
meet.” The six delegates from
Smyrna represented three
guilds—one of their projects
is remembering the ‘forgot
ten patients” at Milledgeville,

women for the work they are
doing "both in the parish
and on an archdiocesan level.
“You are giving of yourselves

tion of others,” the priest

small one, you are bringing
happiness to others, and to
yourselves.”
Mrs. William Dennon, ACCW
