‘Traditionalists’
Said In Minority
MUNICH, Germany (NC)—
The overwhelming majority’of
the faithful throughout the world
has accepted the liturgical re
forms decreed by the Second
Vatican Council, a German mo
ral theologian said here in an
article reporting on inter
national "traditionalist” acti
vities.
Father Hans Bernhard Mey
er, S.J., in an article in the
Jesuit monthly, Stimmen der
Zeit, said traditionalists repre
sent a very small minority in
the Church. He declared that
only those unfamiliar with li
turgical history and unconcern
ed about the needs of the Church
as a whole oppose revisions in
matters of form. .
Refuses
To Ban
Book
UTRECHT, Netherlands
(RNS)--Ambo Books, publish
ers of a controversial and best
selling theological book, have
refused to stop distribution of
the volume, despite a request
from its author, Father Robert
Adolfs.
The Grave of the Church is
now in its third edition and has
just been published in England.
Father Adolfs, the prior of the
Augustinian abbey at Eindhoven,
said he had requested withdraw
al of the book from circula
tion on the orders of his re
ligious suepriors in Rome.
His book warns that the Ro
man Catholic Church will “dig
her own grave” if she remains
"an out-dated power struc
ture.” It presents this as the
view of ''many people, in par
ticular young people who are al
ready looking ahead of the 21st
Century.”
A spokesman for Ambo Books
said they refused to stop dis
tribution of the book because
' ‘we live in a free country and
have nothing to do with what
someone in Rome thinks.”
“Our people are asking for
the book,” he said.
Father Adolfs said that he
considers the situation “a mat
ter of bad communication be
tween Rome and the Nether-
land,” because people in the two
places “talk on different wave
lengths.”
Some weeks ago, he said,
his superiors in Rome senthim
a list of ten questions on doc
trinal matters related to the
book, with a warning that, if
he did not answer the ques
tions, he might be forbidden
to write any more.

VATICAN CITY (NC)--Pope
Paul Vi’s project of the reform
of the Roman curia, the
Church’s central adminis- .
trative offices has been com
pleted after almost four years
of quiet planning.
The publication of the re
forms was tentatively scheduled
for Aug. 18.
Among the most far-reaching
reforms is the creation of a
central financial office to
supervise and coordinate the
various financial bodies which
until now have been adminis
tering the funds of the Holy,
See,
It has been axiomatic that
the Pope himself does not know
exactly how much money the
Holy See has or exactly how it
is being spent. However, Pope
Paul has taken pains to em
phasize that the Holy See’s
resources are far from stu
pendous. He has even spoken
of the Church's “blessed
penury.”
Whether the new financial
office will call upon civilian
accountants for a comprehen
sive review of the Holy See’s
financial situation and techni
ques—as Pope Pius XI did to
his declared satisfaction—has
not been announced.
The, principal elements of
the curia reform are expected
to be a clearer definition of
the competency of each curial
office or congregation, and the
unclogging of communications
Ontario Catholics
Aid Riot Victims
WINDSOR, Ont. (RNS) ~ Ro
man Catholics here have donat
ed $10,000 to aid victims of the
riots in Detroit.
Bishop G. Emmett Carter,
Bishop of London, Ont., pre
sented a check for that amount
to Archbishop John F. Dearden
of Detroit,
among these offices and be
tween them and the Pope. Better
communications between the
curia and the Pope will help to
achieve that decentralization
which the Pope himself listed
among the purposes of curial
reform when he announced in
September, 1963, that he was
undertaking it.
Better communications be
tween the Pope and the curial
offices will mean that the Pope
will be able to get faster action
from these offices. Thus he will
not have to rely so heavily
upon his state secretariat. Since
the time of Pope Pius X, Popes
have been depending more and
more upon the state secretariat
to get things done quickly, even
in fields that canonically lie in
the competency of the curial
congregations.
Another element of the re
form is the guarantee of the
rights of the individual before
the massive and impersonal
bureaucracy of the curia. Stan
dards for this have already been
set by the reform of the former
Holy Office—now the Doctrinal
Congregation—on Dec. 7, 1965.
Another aim of the curial
reform cited by the Pope in his
speech of Sept. 21, 1963, was
its internationalization. He has
already undertaken this with the
appointment of several French
men, a Belgian and a Spaniard
to key positions in the curia.
Previously most top curia of
ficials were drawn from the
Italian clergy.
The face of the curia has
also begun to change with the
creation of various offices that
achieve the aims of the Second
Vatican Council. However,
these offices, such as the Sec
retariat for Non-Believers and
the Commission for Inter
national Justice and Peace were
not formally included among the
Pope's curial reforms at the
time of their creation.
Journal Asks Hierarchy:
Where Is Church
LONDON (RNS)—Britain's
Roman Catholic bishops were
urged to say where the Church
is going in a sharply pointed
editorial in the latest issue of
the Clergy Review.
“If clergy and laity are rest
less, it is not because they are
disobedient,” it said. “It is
because they are waiting im
patiently for their appointed
leaders to tell them where we
are going.”
The Clergy Review is a pro
fessional journal for Roman
Catholic clergy. A former edi
tor was Charles Davis, thethe-
oligian who renounced his
priesthood and the Church last
December and is emigrating to
Canada,
In its editorial, the journal
said: “The first duty of the
bishop is to preach the Gospel.
One of the needs most deeply
felt by the Catholic Church in
this country today is the need
to hear our bishops speak to us
as prophets and apostles.
“We need to hear what the
Second Vatican Council means
for us in our local situation;
how we should think of our
selves and become servants of
the gospel in the present mis
sionary, ecumenical and social
context.
"In fact, as well as in theory,
the church is now ready and able
to move forward in all these
fields. We are to one Christian
communion with whom everyone
is speaking and to whom all men

of goodwill look for encourage-
ment and hope.
‘There was no need to wait
for the Ecumenical Directory
(recently published in Rome)
before explaining to us how we
are to be the growing-point for
unity among separated Chris
tians. While we were waiting for
the practical details of what we
could do, in communion with
the Church throughout the
world, for Christian unity, we
could at least have been given
a vision of our potentialities
in relationship to those around
us.
'The Holy Father does not
expect the bishops to act as
his office boys. The first piece
of equipment a bishop need
is not a Rank-Xerox copying
machine, but a good library.
'There was a bishop not so
long ago in England, famed for
his extensive collection of pop
ular religious pamphlets, who
gave it to be understood that he
wanted, no intelligent priests,
but obedient ones.
Jesuit Drafts Code
For Singapore Army
SINGAPORE (RNS)—Singa-
pore’sarmy, trained by Israeli
military specialists, now has a
code of conduct drafted by a Ro
man Catholic priest.
Dr. Goh Keng Swee, Singa
pore’s defense minister, said
that films and television show
ing soldiers as tough, unthink
ing, hard-drinking and hard-
swearing types gave a bad
image which needed drastic re
vision.
In drawing up a document
that could be easily understood
and that would contain the tenets
of soldierly behavior, Dr. Goh,
said he had decided to enlist
the help of "someone well-ver
sed in the techniques of in
fluencing tiie minds of the mas
ses.”
“What better choice could
there be than a Jesuit priest?”
he asked.
Dr. Goh explained his pro
blem to Irish-born Father Te
rence Sheridan, now living in
Manila, but who was, at that

Sheridan produced adraftdocu-
ment, which was poured over
by the military command. With
a few alterations, the draft was
accepted as the new code and put
into effect. The code contains
six golden rules. An example:
* ‘We must be exemplary in our
conduct. We respect others and
by our conduct and bearing win
the respect of others.”
Dr. Goh expressed gratitude
to Father Sheridan, saying the
code of conduct would be useful
in establishing high standards
of behavior and instilling a
sense of dignity and purpose
among soldiers.

‘‘If you have ever seen a baby die—of starvation,
for instance—you know how it feels to be here.
In the name of humanity, tell everyone we need
help!” . . . Lay apostle Carol Hunnybun was
sorting food, clothing and medical supplies in
the Holy Land. Her special love is for children.
. . . “It is one thing for a fighting soldier .to get
killed,” she said. “But look at these babies, and
listen to them cry. Why should they suffer?
Babies don’t fight wars!” . . . There are other
innocent victims, too—old people, wives who
lost their soldier husbands, seminarians and
novices whose studies are interrupted. ’Their
suffering isn’t dramatic, their story is not told,
but it's real suffering all the same.... What can
you do? A priest’s housekeeper in upstate New
York sent us the $30 she intended to spend dt
Expo '67. A man in Indiana sent $5,000. Money
can’t buy happiness but it can buy food,
blankets, books and plows.... The Holy Father
asks your help. The babies now crying can build
a world of peace tomorrow. Helping them now
will make you feel good.
Bread is cheaper than bullets. . . . But now in
Jordan there are 1,50,000 new refugees (roughly
the population of Takoma, Wash.) who lack the
basic necessities. Feed one family for a month?
it costs only $10.—Why not feed a family every
month as long as the crisis lasts?
.
The Masses you request this week will be offered
promptly by priests who receive no other in
come. Mass offerings buy food, clothing,
medicines.
