U.S. Catholics Urged To Act
On Human Rights Statement
WASHINGTON (NC)—Ameri
can Catholics have been urged
to work for a "fundamental
change of attitude" in the Unit
ed States which will enable all
men to enjoy equal rights and
opportunity.
The plea came in a joint
Statement Wednesday by Auxil
iary Bishop John J. Dougherty
of Newark, chairman of the
U.S, Bishops’ Committee for
.World Justice and Peace, and
Bishop John J. Wright of Pitts
burgh, episcopal chairman of
the Social Action Department
of the U.S.CatholicConference.
The occasion was the 20th
anniversary of the adoption of
the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
The declaration’s 30 articles
"paint a striking picture of
man’s dignity arid his rights as
a person, as a member of so
ciety and as a citizen of his
nation and of the world,’’ they
said in the statement,
“As Catholic Christians, we .
welcome this solemn assertion

of man's basic and inalienable
rights. These rights, the dec
laration notes, are to be granted
to all. No form of discrimina
tion based on race, color, sex,
language, religion, political or
other opinion, national or social
origin, property, birth or other
status is to be tolerated," they
said.
"As Americans, we rejoice
that the rights, liberties and
freedom asserted in our Con
stitution and the Bill of Rights
are substantially present in this
declaration."
But they add that "equal ex
ercise of their rights by all our
citizens...is far from a reality
and equal opportunity is for
many only a cruel myth."
They asserted that "without
a fundamental change of atti
tude by the comfortable, by the
favored ethnic majority, and
especially by those who profess
themselves Christians, we can
not build the social order which
will lift the burdens and remove
the indignities inflicted by rac
ial discrimination and material
privation.,.,"

tions and organizations tostudy
the UN declaration in the light
of Church teachings, the Vati
can Council and "in view of
the concrete situations in which
men find themselves today,"
arid asked individual Catholics
to cooperate with other Ameri
cans "in working for changes
in our laws and in our social
and economic institutions" to
eradicate discrimination and to
meet the needs of the poor.
The bishops singled out four
areas in which action is needed;
—Economic security; "Arti
cle 22 (of the declaration)...
asserts the right to social se
curity for every citizen....It. is
hardly necessary to say that the
United States is still struggling
with the problem of poverty.
Too often our welfare programs
for the destitute offer little in
the way of assistance or incen
tive to help these persons rise
above the level of poverty."
—Work: "Article 23...as
serts that ‘Everyone has the
right to work, to free choice of
employment, to just and favor
able conditions to work and to
protection against unemploy
ment.' It is a shameful fact
that there are several million
Americans without work. Even
worse is the fact that the burden
of idleness is disproportionate
ly born by American Negroes
and particularly by Negro
youth."
—Education: "Article 26
states that 'Parents have a
prior right to choose the kind of
education that shall be given to
their children.' While no law in
the United States interferes with
this right, severe economic
burdens make it difficult for
many parents to secure an ade
quate religious education for
their children."
"Finally," they said, "we
regret that the efforts of Pres
ident Kennedy and of President
Johnson to secure United States
participation in the proposed in
ternational agreement relating
to forced labor, have received
little interest and little under
standing from United States
citizens."
"These flaws are imperfec
tions which should challerige
the social conscience of every
citizen," the bishops said.
They concluded their state
ment by asking Catholics "to
deepen our knowledge and un
derstanding of the efforts being
made by the United Nations and
other agencies of economic and
social cooperation, both public
and private, which contribute
effectively to the implementa
tion of human rights."

To Take A “New Look”

churches in that country define Interviewed in the British
their own being in light of a ' Weekly and Christian World,
an independent journal publish
ed here, Dr. Rafael Cepeda said
governmental restrictions on
Cuban churches has forced the
churches to take a new look at
themselves.
Even the negative influence
has been "favorable,” he. said,
"because it has helped the
churches to find tjhetnselves
and te.-define-^ttie-i-r own being
and their- duty in a revolution-
ary situation.
"And in other practical mat
ters , the churches have been
favored because they have at
tained a truly creative, indi
genous and charismatic sense
of Christian education and
Christian stewardship."
"Work with children and
youth," he continued, "is car
ried on with broader objectives,
which are not merely ‘enter
tain them and thus make them
happy.’ The churches have set
before them truly sacrificial
goals in the effort to attain
self-support.
"Dr. Cepeda, pastor of the
Luyane Presbyterian church in
Havana and director of the
Ecumenical Study Center open
ed there by the Cuban Council
of Protestant Churches, listed
some of the restrictions:
—The loss of denominational
day schools;
—An exodus of "a great pro
portion" of church members
and ministers;
—Legal regulation of some
church activities, with the pri
mary effect of confining church
activity to the church premises
and church members;
—Indirect and direct press
ures on some ministers, the
latter "mostly in small town
ships and by local officers."
. Asked to comment on a re
ported lack of freedom in Cuba,
Dr, Cepeda replied, "As I, a
militant Christian, understand
freedom, I would dare to say
that there is some lack of free
dom. I would like to be granted
more possibilities to criticize
errors, 1 to confront and ponder
ideas, to read other philoso
phies and perspectives, to dia
logue and dissent."
"But I understand the Marx
ists’ point of view, "the church
man continued. "There is no
true freedom if there’s no
social justice. It is notpossible
in the midst of a revolution, to
give weapons to the enemy for
for his fight. We might ask:
Freedom, for whom and what
'for?"
Dr. Cepeda cited government
advances in providing for the
basic needs of the Cuban people,
particularly the lower classes.
