DEARDEN SAYS
Catholic Bishops To Fight
4 Sources Of Racial Bias 9
DETROIT (RNS) -
Archbishop John F. Dearden
of Detroit said here that the
National Conference of
Catholic Bishops will devote
its energies in the coming
months toward “getting at the
sources of racial bias in
America.”
The president of the NCCB
made the comment following
a talk he delivered to the
National Clergy Conference
on the Interracial Apostolate.
“The bishops must identify
these sources so that people
will recognize prejudice for
what it is, and thus move
toward a change in attitude,”
he said. “As for deprived
Negroes themselves, the
bishops must do everything
within the limits of their
resources to alleviate their
deprivation and suffering.”
In his' own archdiocese,
Archbishop Dearden has
announced the diversion of
$1.5 million in Archdiocese
Development Fund money
from building construction to
a series of programs to help
residents of the inner city.
He said this may be one
way bishops across the
country could attack the
problems caused by bias, but
each must approach his local
problem in his own way.
In his address, Archbishop
Dearden told priests and nuns
of the Interracial Apostolate
that the “significant fact of
your presence is a witness to
the religious and moral

dimensions of this problem.”
He expressed “great
concern” over a recent Gallup
Poll which showed that 53 per
cent of American church
members and 57 per cent of
Catholics believed that the
church should not become
involved in social or political
issues.
“Many people can salve
their consciences and dull
their concerns by regarding
this as a purely political
matter,” he said. “As long as
they hide behind political
issues, they are going to be
hard to smoke out.
“In the letters I receive,
those who are most violently
opposed to church
involvement say that since this
is a purely political matter,
they are under no obligation
to pay any attention to what
the church has to say.
“That is why you in your
work must emphasize
constantly that these are
religious and moral matters.
“The subterfuges that
people use to dull their
consciences can be recognized
as fraudulent by anyone with
a Christian sense.”
He compared racists to
alcoholics, stating that they
“develop a positive genius for
self-deception. They can think

of a thousand reasons to
convince themselves that they
are motivated by the soundest
principles.
“As long as they are able
to delude themselves, they are
going to be hard to get. This
attitude we must work to
penetrate.”
Archbishop Dearden told
delegates that “yours is one of
the most challenging
apostolates in the Church in
this century. Your presence
among these poor people is
evidence of the Church’s
desire to bring Christ to the
poor and the disadvantaged,
which are the Church’s own.”

Cornell University (left), was on hand to support the Rev. Paul E. Gibbons,
Protestant chaplain at the same university, in his fight against being inducted
into the Army. Mr. Gibbons, who lost his ministerial classification when he
turned in his draft card, was reclassified and reported to the Whitehall
Induction Center in New York. He refused induction but no legal action was
taken although he faces a five-year sentence and $10,000 fme. (RNS Photo).
