Knights Of Columbus Urge
NEW YORK (NC) -
Winding up its three-day
national convention, the
highest body of the Knights
of Columbus urged public
officials to aid children
attending religious schools.
The supreme council of the
1.2 million-member Catholic
fraternal organization passed
a strongly-worded resolution
which declared “all persons
under the democratic system
of government are guaranteed
the free exercise of religion
and equal protection of the
laws.” The K of Cs said
financial assistance was
needed to insure those rights.
Earlier in the week, both
Cardinal Terence Cooke of
New York and President
Nixon, sharing the podium at
the Knights’ annual dinner,
addressed themselves to the
financial plight of
religious-oriented schools.
President Nixon said that the
character of the coming
generation is being forged in
the homes, churches, and
schools of the nation.
DETROIT (NC) - The
National Black Catholic Lay
Caucus and the National
Black Catholic Clergy Caucus
announced here that they had
selected 10 candidates from
whom they hope will come
the first black archbishop in
the United States.
Their specific aim, they
said after a joint meeting, is
to have a black priest named
archbishop of Washington,
D.C. Cardinal Patrick
O’Boyle, archbishop of
Washington, submitted his
resignation when he became
75 recently, but it has not yet
been accepted by Pope Paul
VI.
“We’re not talking about
tokenism, we’re talking about
power,” said Father
Lawrence E. Lucas, pastor of
a parish in New York’s
Harlem and president of the
black clergy group. Of the
black archbishop the groups
seek, the priest said: “This
man will be the head nigger in
charge.”
DENVER (NC) -
Catholics and Methodists
have a shared heritage that is
“a reality-not something
conjured up for purposes of
ecumenical cordiality,”
Cardinal Jan Willebrands told
a week-long meeting of 5,000
Methodists.
The cardinal, head of the
Vatican’s Secretariat for
Promoting Christian Unity,
was a special guest speaker
Aug. 23 at the 12th World
Methodist Conference, held
at the University of Denver.
Both Catholics and
Methodists, he said, share a
spiritual heritage emphasizing
ideals of communion,
contemplation, compassion,
and Christian fellowship. In
the past, he said, Christian
fellowship has been made to
seem almost “a distraction
from, or antithesis to,
personal sanctification, rather
than a necessary setting” for
Christian growth.
NEW ORLEANS (NC) -
Although Catholic bishops
have issued official
statements condemning
racism, the first black mayor
of a major American city
claims “their words have
made little difference to the
average Catholic on the
street.
“Catholic friends tell me,”
said Gary Mayor Richard G.
Hatcher, “that you can check
any of our cities and you find
Catholic institutions that are
segregated whether by law or
by happenstance or by
neighborhood arrangement.”
The mayor told the
biennial convention of the
National Catholic Conference
for Interracial Justice
(NCCIJ) here that segregated
facilities not only give the
Church a poor image in the
black community, but also
render hypocritical its
position as a persuasive moral
force in America.

Constitutional experts say tax
credits for costs of both
public and nonpublic
schooling is the aid form
most likely to withstand
constitutional tests, according
to a member of President
Nixon’s panel on nonpublic
education.
Auxiliary Bishop William
E. McManus of Chicago told
NC News the four-man panel
met with two constitutional
experts soon after the June
28 U.S. Supreme Court
decision voiding two
nonpublic school aid laws on
grounds of “excessive
entanglement” between
church and state.
“Various possibilities of
aid were reviewed,” the
bishop continued. “Neither
expert would say definitely
what would stand up
constitutionally. They would
only estimate the risk.” Both
men agreed, Bishop McManus
said, “that a tax credit plan
covering both public and
nonpublic school expenses
would involve the least risk at
the present time.”
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (NC)
— Bishop William Baum
visited Father Philip Berrigan
in prison here and the two
discussed the Epistle to the
Colossians-where St. Paul
recalled that his preaching
brought him persecution,
“I did the reading,” the
bishop of Springfield-Cape
Girardeau told NC News,
“and we paused at intervals
for discussion and prayer.”
Bishop Baum, who had
never met the controversial
Josephite priest before, said
he visited the priest at the
federal prison in Springfield
to express “our common
bond in the priesthood.” The
bishop said he wants to visit
Father Berrigan again, “as I
would any priest in similar
circumstances.”
WHEELING (NC) -
Bishop Joseph H. Hodges of
Wheeling has asked priests in
his diocese to tell him how
good a job he is doing.
He has also asked the
priests to tell each other how
they rate as priests in
implementing diocesan
programs “established to
serve the people of God.”
The bishop told NC News
he based his decision to call
for such job evaluation on the
Wheeling priests’ senate
WALK TO NEW CHURCH - The Rev. Robert J. Kirwin, pastor of St. Thomas More Church,
Hauppauge, L.I., N.Y., lead part of the procession of parish council men carrying a 15-foot

endorsement of the National
Federation of Priests’
Councils’ (NFPC) “Moment
of Truth” statement. The
statement called for sweeping
changes in the Church,
including improvement of
priests relations with U.S.
bishops. Since priests have
indicated they are unhappy
about lack of leadership and
performance by fellow
priests, the bishop said he
believes they should have a
chance to express their
concern.
LA PAZ, Bolivia (NC) - A
Canadian priest who worked
closely with the poor was
fatally shot here as he
comforted a man wounded
during the revolution that
overthrew Bolivia’s leftist
regime.
Oblate Father Maurice
Lefebvre, 49, of Montreal,
who taught psychology at the
National University of San
Andres here, had been a
trouble-shooter in labor
disputes. He was known as a
strong advocate of social
reform in Bolivia. He came to
this country in 1953.
Overthrown by a
three-member military junta
in the weekend revolt was
leftist President Juan Jose
Torres, the general who last
October ousted Gen. Alfredo
Ovando.
MILAN, Italy (NC) -
French Dominican theologian
Father Yves Congar said that
the proposed “Lex
Fundamentals,” or basic law
that might serve as a
constitution for the Church,
is “a new and enormous
obstacle” to Christian
reunion.
Father Congar commented
on the proposed law in an
article in the Italian Catholic
daily L’Avvenire.
The proposed law was
drawn up for the Pontifical
Commission for the Revision
of the Code of Canon Law, as
a possible introduction to the
reformed code summing up
the fundamentals underlying
the nature and structure of
the Church.
LONDON (NC) - The
British government
announced an “independent
inquiry” into allegations of
brutality against persons
jailed in Northern Ireland-as
Cardinal William Conway of
Armagh, Northern Ireland,
and other Catholic leaders
had requested.
But the day after the
announcement the gates of
the Crumlin Road jail in
Belfast, where many
detainees are kept, were
blown open by a gelignite
bomb.
This measure of how low
the credibility of British
Prime Minister Edward
Heath’s Conservative
government has fallen. The
Catholic minority in
Northern Ireland, supported
by the majority in the Irish
Republic, now put Heath and
Brian Faulkner, the Unionist
party prime minister of
Northern Ireland, in the same
bag-one that most Irishmen
would like to be rid of once
and for all.
LONDON (NC) - The
most difficult thing about
being a Christian is to
practice what you preach,
according to a survey of
Catholic students at the
University of London.
Nearly half of the women
and 31 percent of the men
polled nominated “practice
what you preach” as the
toughest Christian duty. The
survey was conducted on
behalf of the Catholic
chaplain at the university,
Msgr. Bruce Kent.
Aim of the student poll
was to clarify for the chaplain
the nature of Catholic
students’ attitudes on
contemporary Christian issues
and to gauge the impact of
university life on their beliefs
and practices.
***
primacy is the main
stumbling block to Christian
unity because of the way it
has been misunderstood both
within and outside the
Catholic Church, the dean of
the Pontifical Oriental
Institute said here.
The dean, German Jesuit
Father Wilhelm de Vries, told
the fourth International
Congress of Jesuit Ecumenists
here that “non-Catholic
Christians frequently consider
the Pope to be an absolute
monarch in relation to whom,
for better or for worse, the
Church is simply in
servitude.”
He said non-Catholics
could never accept what he
described as “an arbitrariness
without limits” whereby the
Pope is empowered to
determine the extent of his
own competence, define the
limits of his power, outline
the extent of his infallibility,
and determine the doctrines
which he can demand all
Catholics to believe
unconditionally.
ROME (NC) - For the
first time in history a general
of the Jesuits, the Church’s
largest order of priests, has
gone to Russia.
Father Pedro Arrupe,
general of the Society of
Jesus, left here Aug. 26 for
Moscow, Leningrad and the
ancient Russian Orthodox
monastery of Zagorsk.
He stopped overnight en
route at Liege, Belgium, to
address a European congress
of alumni of Jesuit schools.
He flew to Moscow at the
invitation of the Russian
Orthodox bishops. After his
Russian visit, Father Arrupe
was to fly to Manila, Hong
Kong and Japan.
SAN ANTONIO,, Tex.
(NC) — An assistant
provincial of the Pacific
province of the worldwide
Society of Mary was recently
elected the society’s superior
general.
The election of Father
Stephen Tutas-condueted
during the society’s general
chapter meeting at St. Mary’s
University here-is subject to
Vatican approval.

Philosophy
The Gables Academies are full-curriculum clinical schools designed for diagnosis and remedia
tion of specific learning disabilities, (dyslexia). Reading difficulties are overcome through individ
ualized instruction by trained clinicians who recognize that a child cannot achieve his full academic
potential if he is unable to read. Small classes in Science, Social Studies, Math - and Language Arts
are taught by experts in their fields who are also fcmiliar with the strengths and weaknesses of
children with specific learning disabilities.
£: Boys and girls whose confidence in themselves has been shattered by years of rebuke from
teachers and peers, because of reading or other learning problems, find themselves succeeding in
:£ heretofore impossible or frustrating tasks.
Admission Policy
A thorough evaluation by competent professionals, is required to determine that a candidate has
normal or above average intelligence despite the specific learning disability. A personal interview
anc * a complete educational/medical history contribute to the determination that a child will benefit
from the programs offered by the Gables Academies. Primary emotional disorders and obvious
physical handicaps cannot be considered.
ACCEPTANCE OF STUDENTS IN ALL OF THE GABLES ACADEMIES IS BASED UPON COMPLETE
DIAGNOSIS AND WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR OR CREED.
