Methodist Bishop Backs
Pope’s Birth Control Stand
MADRAS, India (NC) - A
Methodist bishop has declared
here that he received Pope Paul
Vi’s encyclical opposing artificial
contraception “with great relief’
and that he has no doubt that the
Pope intended an infallible
pronouncement in issuing the
encyclical.
‘ Bishop John A. Subhan of the
Methodist Church in Southeast
Asia, writing in the official
Catholic weekly, The New
Leader, said:
“In spite of the fact that the
Methodist Church (U.S.A.),
which I have served as one of its
bishops for 20 years, has
advocated the use of
contraceptives and surgical
operations of either sex for the
prevention of pregnancy, I have
always been against such methods
of birth control.”
Bishop Subhan said he was
“much perturbed” when some
Catholic priests in the United
States told him that the Church
would lift the ban against the use
of contraceptives.
He pointed out that he
expected that in spite of the
contrary opinion among certain
Catholic leaders, the Catholic
Church, “because of its moral
consciousness,” will be
practically unanimous in
accepting the encyclical.
“But the reports on_ the
reaction to it have marred my joy
and expectation.
“Every report of opposition
and clamor against it, especially
within the Church, is read with
great perplexity and pain.”
Bishop Subhan condemned the
“new morality or situation
ethics” taught in several
Protestant theological colleges,
which holds that morality is
relative.
Citing quotation from
advocates of New Morality, the
bishop said that although all of
them are non-Catholic, he feared
that the contagious influence of
such teachings has infected some
in the Catholic Church also.
He cited as an example the
removal of the Index of
Melkite Community To
Honor Patron Saint
St. John Chrysostom Melkite Church will celebrate the feast day of
its patron saint on Sunday, November 17.
Both religious and social functions will mark this day honoring this
prolific Father of the Catholic Church whose eloquence earned him
the title of “Golden-Mouthed.”
The feast day will begin with
the Solemn Celebration of the
Divine Liturgy at 11:30 a.m. by
Monsignor William Haddad, St.
John’s pastor. The Divine Liturgy
or Mass will be sung in three
languages, Greek, Arabic and
English. During the Mass, two
children of the parish will receive
their First Holy Communion.
They are Lisa Haddad, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Haddad
and Susan Maloof, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John W. Maloof.
Social festivities will begin at
7:00 p.m. at the Hellenic Center
on Cheshire Bridge Rd. A “hafli”
or dance will be held featuring
the tops in Arabic and American
entertainment. Emile Kasses and
his Oriental Ensemble will play
