' Concept Of Newman Work
Is Changed Says Chaplain
BURLINGTON, Vt. (NC)--No
one talks about Newman Clubs
anymore, according to Father
Philip Branon, chaplain of the
Catholic Center at the Univ
ersity of Vermont and president
of the National Newman Chap
lains' Apostolate.
Young Catholics on the se
cular campus do talk, however,
in terms of Catholic centers or
the Newman apostolate, he adds.
The Newman Apostolate,
F ather Branon maintains,
"considers itself to be the Ro
man Catholic Church in the
secular, academic world.”
Tihus the old idea of the club
\#!th its emphasis on fraternal
activities has given- way- com-'
pletely to an awareness that
C atholic centers are the Church
on campus.
Father Branon traces the
change in the concept of the
Newman Apostolate to Vatican
Council II.
•‘Pope John,” Father Branon
says, "in calling Vatican
Council II,' suggested that we

open the windows to let in
fresh air. We now know that
people are looking through those
open windows. TheChurchmust
become accustomed to public
examination and scrutiny. Cath
olic bishops and prelates,
priests and people, find them
selves and their statements dis
cussed in the public press.
Bishops are no longer per
sonages or princes in the public
domain. They are persons in
American society, responsible
to lead their people in the Chris
tian way of life and to make that
way of life relevant to today’s
needs.
“It is a challenging position;,«
and to face the scrutiny and?
meet the challenge, the Church,»
in its bishops, is dependent on
our priests, chaplains and our
Catholic communities on cam
pus, who have continuously been
in position before the public
eye.”
Thus, as - Father Branon con
tinues, the Church on the
campus must be present “not
as an alien force but as an
integral part of the total campus
community.”
This means, Father Branon
says, that the Newman Aposto
late is committed not to an
expanded building program
"but the selection and training
of personnel committed to that
love an involvement that is
most needed for the Church on
the campus.”
While the NewmanApostolate
is concerned about intellectual
matters, he maintains, the pri
mary responsibility for the
ology and religion as academic
disciplines belongs to the de
partments of religion admin
istered by the universities.
'The classroom,*' Father
Branon , adds, "is not the place
for the *Catholic’ or /Prot
estant’ or ’Jewish’ approach;
it is the place for the open
approach to religion.”
*‘In our program for the
future,” he declares, "we wish
no longer to provide a *bootleg’
theology which is the unworthy
presentation of unworthy
courses under the guise of or
ganized religion.”
This leaves the Newman
Apostolate, he says, at the place
where it belongs—the altar.
"It is there,’ Father Branon
continues "that the Church can
and must present, itself to, and
for, the university community—
a servant, pilgrim church. The
Catholic community on any
campus should be gathered
around the altar with a mean
ingful liturgy which expresses
the need of the community in
its worship of Almighty God.
We shall expect our priests
and our people to develop a
meaningfulness of worship
which, like the work in the
classroom, will, prepare them
for the future by expressing
and fulfilling their needs now.”
The Newman Apostolate,
Father Branon says, can help
to infuse love into students
who are going out into a world
in which, in many instances,
systems of management—
church, state or business—-
have become prized more for
their own sake than for the
service they are supposed to
render.
Current attacks On the "es
tablishment” by demonstrators
all over the nation show that
many people actively oppose
such systems, Father says, and
he hopes that those who have
learned of love and mercy
through the Newman Apostolate
can use that love in any new
system they might build. .
STOCKHOLM (NC)—'The ex
clusion of the Catholic Mass
from the concessions granted
on the use of Lutheran churches
by other Christian denomi
nations has been criticized by a
prominent Lutheran minister
and ecumenical leader.
Pastor Hans Cavallin, secre
tary general of the League for
Christian Unity and editor of the
League’s bulletin, Kristen En-
het (Christian Unity), said in the
midsummer issue that the re
commendations of Sweden’s Lu
theran bishops made at their
conference last May, and in an
earlier decree of 1952, to allow
non-Lutheran denominations to
use their churches under cer
tain circumstances was a step
in the right direction. But he
criticized it as too narrow in
such matters as the celebration
of Catholic marriage without
a nuptial Mass.
"Roman Mass is not per
mitted in our sacred buildings,”
Pastor Cavallin said, but "they
may be opened to such genuine
ly .profane things as political
elections of pastors, school
commencements withprize dis
tributions, and the conferring of
doctoral degrees with gun sa
lutes.”
Stating that the” prohibition
against the Roman and Orthodox
celebration of the Eucharist
should be nullified, Pastor Ca
vallin said “we are undeserved
ly well-stocked with beautiful
churches in this country.”
"With these facts as back
ground, it is amply evident
that the recommendations of the
bishops as to the limited open
ing of churches should be trans
formed into a warm welcome
to others to share our abun
dance, otherwise, the eloquent
words on ecumenism to be spo
ken by the Swedish bishops
in Uppsala in 1968 will be ac
cepted only as painful hypo
crisy."
The 1952 authorization for
Protestants and Christians of
other communities to use Lu
theran churches said that Mass,
as well as “other rites con
flicting' with the teaching of the
Swedish Chtirch,** -could nbt'bfe
celebrated ih their churches. ’
Pastor Cavallin said, in his
editorial, that "we propose that
the prohibition against such
things are ’in conflict with the
teaching of the Swedish Church*
should be changed into a pro
hibition against ’such things
that are a mockery and denial
of the teaching of the Church.*
It was announced in Finland
last month that the Finnish
Orthodox Church made its chur
ches there available to Roman
Catholics for the celebration
of Mass, the administration of
the sacraments, and other ser
vices in places where there is
no Catholic Church or chapel.
The permission in Finland was
restricted to Latin-rite Catho
lics.
Spalding Scholarship
Goal Set At $20,000
A unique kind of program
has been launched by Catherine
Spalding College of Louisville,
Ky„ to honor the family name
which the college bears in
tribute to the foundress of the
Sisters of Charity of Nazareth,
Mother Catherine Spalding.
The Spalding Family Scholar
ship is being set up by the col
lege at the suggestion of a
number of the descendants of the
Spalding families who im
migrated to Kentucky from
Maryland soon after the Rev
olutionary War.
This family had its American
beginning in 1657 when Thomas
Spalding came from England to
the Colony of Maryland; his son,
John, became the great
grandfather of Mother Cath
erine Spalding; and his son,
William, was the grandfatherof
Benedict Spalding,'Jr., who im
migrated to Kentucky in 1791
and settled in Calvary. Benedict
had 95 grandchildren, and these
descendants now number in the
thousands and are to be found
in nearly every state of the
Foster Home
For 129 Babies
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, O.
(NC)—Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Novotny now are providing a
home for four foster babies
here. This brings to 129 the
number of infants they have
cared for in the last 25 years
while the babies were awaiting
adoption.
In addition, they’ve reared
four adopted children of their
own. The 129 babies were
wards of the Cuyahoga County
Division of ,Chjld .Welfare.
The four they currently have
range in age from four to eight
months. Mrs. Novotny said
feeding time is simplified by
lining up meals, keeping them
warm, and feeding first’the one
who sounds the hungriest.”
union and in every walk of life.
Benedict’s son, Richard, was
the father of Martin John Spald
ing, bishop of Louisville and
archbishop of Baltimore, and
grandfather of Archbishop John
Lancaster Spalding, archbishop
of Peoria,
In. pursuing the members of
this family across the United
States, a research team un
covered about 1460 Spalding
families, a large percentage of
whom settled in Nelson, Marion,
and Jefferson counties of Ken
tucky. It seems as though the
family cannot tolerate in
temperate climates as only one
Spalding was found in such
states as Alaska, Delaware,
Idaho, or New Hampshire.
As a result of this program,
several family gatherings have
been held, uncovering new re
lations hipS and adding new di
mensions to the family
genealogy. The Spalding family
has already achieved close ties
through the ingenuity of Hughes
Spalding, noted attorney
of Atlanta, who has published
several books on the Spalding
family, and who is a founder of
this program.
Catherine Spalding College’s
adaptation of its coat of arms
from the Spalding Family crest
established a meaningful re
lationship with the Spalding
F amily.
The Spalding Family Scholar
ship will be a permanent
memorial to the Spalding
Family and its descendants.
The goal of $20,000, of which
$1,000 has already been raised,
is the amount of investment
necessary to establish a per
manent income from which a
perpetual scholarship can be
established. This scholarship
will, be used exclusively to
finance the education of those
who need it the most.
Any descendant of the family
whs has not been invited to join
in this family memorial should
contact Catherine Spalding Col
lege.
SISTER JOHN Francis, above, of St. Pius X High School, has
been awarded a certificate of recognition by J. Edward Weil.and
of the American Legion and its Americanism Commission.
Sister received the award for her contributions to the National
High School Oratorical Contest. She teaches American history
and economics and moderates the Debate Club at St. Pius.
Viet Election Statement
Shows Religious Concern
WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS)—
A 6,000-word statement deli
vered. to all members of the
Senate and the House reflects
both religious and political con
cern over the elections sche
duled for Sept. 3 in South Viet
nam.
The paper embodies the find
ings of an exhaustive research
project which was coordinated
by Prof. Robert Moon, a staff
member of the Methodist Board
of Social Concerns.
A sopkesman for the board
confirmed that Dr. Moon, now
in Europe, was acting on behalf
of the board’s Peace Division
when he helped to prepare the
material. A number of other
religiously-concerned persons
worked on the project, including
seVef-al cl@b^ythen. • >’ ;
The do'diftieht"wag bele J as6d
through the Council of Repub
lican Organizations in Cam
bridge, Mass., a coordinating
agency for liberal Republican
groups, but is not an official
policy statement of the Council
or of the Republican Party.
It questions the present com
mitment of the U.S. to free
and honest elections in South
Vietnam and challenges poli
tical leaders and private citi
zens to support free elections
there.
In addition, the report poses
50 questions concerning free
speech, political organizations,
election procedures and other
conditions in South Vietnam and
about U.S. policy toward the
incumbent military regime.
The report proposes that the
U.S. secular and religious press
use the questions to monitor
the elections in South Vietnam
as they would a domestic cam
