priests-denied faculties to say
Mass or administer the
sacraments in the St„ Louis
archdiocese-said he would
welcome an investigation into
the five’s priestly status.
“We feel we have nothing
to hide,” said Father Patrick
J. Berkery, as archdiocesan
officials continued to release
documents to the St. Louis
Review, archdiocesan
newspaper, raising doubts
about the five who were
ordained by Bishop Peter
Sarpong of Kumasi, Ghana,
on May 11 in Cromwell,
Conn.
Cardinal John J. Carberry
of St. Louis has refused to
grant the priests faculties,
saying that they have not

Charles M, Reilly, Jr.,
executive director of the
National Catholic Office for
Radio and Television
(NCORT), praised the House
for rejecting a recommenda
tion that it cite the
documentary’s producer, the
Columbia Broadcasting
System, and its president for
contempt of Congress.
Reilly said the 226 to 181
vote will undoubtedly be
termed “an historic

requested about their
academic and theological
training and about the
reception of clerical orders
leading to the priesthood.
“It’s the biggest lie ever
perpetrated,” said Father
Berkery. He referred to
letters recommending the five
priests for ordination which
were disavowed as forgeries
by three persons alleged to
have signed them. The letters
were published in the Review.
“We’ve never even seen the
letters,” he added, although
archdiocesan officials said
they were contained in
documentation-part of the
authentication required for
the priesthood-submitted by
the five priests to Bishop
Sarpong.
Father Berkery said the
alleged forgeries were
“planted” by _ Cardinal
Carberry in the Review as
part a “plot to downgrade
us.”
“Even if it were true,” the
priest added, “we feel that
Cardinal Carberry is
irresponsible because he has
leaked this stuff to the press
without first giving us an
opportunity to respond to it.
There are structures in the
Church where we could have
answered this.”
He charged that the
Review and the archdiocese
were “guilty of criminal
libel,” but said the
Contemporary Mission would
not press such charges in
court because “we are very
poor.”
“What can we do?,” he
asked. “We are just a small •
group. We would hope that
somebody in the Church
would stand up and say this is
wrong.”
Archdiocesan officials
would not comment on the
Contemporary Mission’s call
for an investigation.

NFPC Head Asks Synod Talk
Justice Prior To Ministry
CHICAGO (NC) - Father
Francis J. Bonnike, president
of the National Federation of
Priests’ Councils (NFPC), has
proposed that the world
Synod of Bishops, meeting in
Rome in October, discuss
world justice before
discussing the priestly
ministry.
“To do otherwise,” he
said, “may produce a
statement on priesthood
which would be unreal,
anachronistic and
inconsistent with Vatican
[Council] II and with
whatever the synod might say
about justice.”
Justice and the priesthood
are the two topics the synod
will discuss.
In view of Pope Paul Vi’s
May 14 apostolic letter to
Cardinal Maurice Roy,
president of the Pontifical
Commission Justice and
Peace, and the synod working
paper “Justice in th.e World,”
Father Bonnike said, it has
become clear to him that the
priesthood cannot be
discussed in a vacuum or
apart from the mission of the
Church in the world. •
Writing in the August issue
of Priests - USA, monthly
publication of the NFPC,
Father Bonnike quoted from
■ the two documents.
They speak, he said, of the
“real world in which the
Church and the priesthood
find their mission a world
of ‘flagrant inequalities,’ of
‘wide diversity,’ of
‘urbanization,’ of ‘new
loneliness,’ of ‘new
proletariats which require
remaking at the level of the
street, of the neighborhood,
of the great agglomerative
dwellings’.”
“They speak,” Father
Bonnike said, “of various
systems and ideologies, and
yet maintain that the Spirit
of the" Lord will urge every
Christian ‘to go beyond every
system, every ideology.’ In
spite of all this diversity, ‘the
bonds which # unite the
faithful are mightier than

anything which divides them.’
What a framework out of
which to build a case for a
pluralism of ministries!”
The documents “speak so
eloquently of the sensitivity
which we should have for the
dignity and rights of all
persons, which, to be
thoroughly consistent, must
also pertain to the person of
the priest,” Father Bonnike
said.
He also said the documents
“clearly provide the setting
for a better understanding of
the priests’ involvement in
political activity and in
priests’ associations of all
types.”
Father Bonnike pointed
out that the documents speak
of solidarity, the value of
international organizations
and of the fundamental right
of association for the
development of individuals
and communities.
“But then they warn,” he
said, “that some in the
Church ‘consider their
brothers in the faith to be
too closely tied to temporal
structures and even
ecclesiastical institutions,’
rendering them quite
incapable of discerning the
changes demanded in the
name of the more just
society. They speak of ‘the
urgency of structural
transformation.’
The documents also say,
Father Bonnike pointed out:
“ ‘The situation .. .calls for a
new man, one strong enough
to face up to the enormity of
what renewal demands: A

change in lifestyle, a change
in our way of grappling with
problems, changes, too, in the
perspectives from which
problems are viewed’.”
Father Bonnike concluded:
“Christ became incarnate. He
did not come into a vacuum,
but into this world. He
showed ‘the capacity of
human nature to produce the
fruits of justice.’ Any
reasonable hope that today’s
priests have for progress and
an understanding of priestly
ministry can come only by
situating the priesthood in
today’s world, just as Christ
situated himself in the world
of His times.
“This is why I suggest that
the synod first discuss justice
in the world, and then the
priestly ministry.”
