LONDON, (NC) - MSgr. Gyula
Matrai, who has served as Vicar
General of the Esztergom arch
diocese in Hungary, has been SEN
fenced to two years in prison by
Red court, according to report
broadcast by Vatican Radio.
The Vatican broadcast identi-
fled Monsignor Matrai as an asso-
ciate of His Eminence Josef Card
inal Mindszenty, imprisoned Pri-
mate of Hungary. It stated that
he had been approached to join
the movement of the patriotic
priests" and had refused to do so.
Monsignor Matrai was appointed
Vicar General of the Esztergom
archdiocese in the latter part of
1850. This occurred after the Holy
See interyened to appoint Bishop
Andrew Hamvas of Csanad as
Apostolic Administrator of the
archdiocese and thus end the term
of vicar capitular of Msgr. MikloS
Beresztoczy, pro commun
priest and leader of the ''patrio-
tic priests" movement.
Recent reports from Budapest
indicated that Monsignor Beresz-
toczy had been named Vicar Gener-
al of the Esztergom archdiocese.
Exactly who named him to the
post, the regime or Bishop Hamvas,
or under what circumstances is
not known. However, it is known
that after the Imprisonment of
Archbishop Josef Groesz of Kal-
ocsa, the regime forced govern
ment appointed administrators"
on some of the Bishops.
1t is believed possible here that
the regime may have forced Mon
signor Beresztoczy on Bishop Ham
vas after it arrested Monsignor Ma
trai. Vatican Radio quoted a re-
cent issue of the Hungarian Cour-
ier, semi-official Catholic news
service, which stated that Mon
signor BereSztoczy was among
those attending the November
monthly meeting of the Hungar-
ian Bishops conference. One
question discussed at the meeting,
the broadcast said, was "interned
clergymen."
Vatican Radio has broadcast an
other report stating that Bishop
Bartholomew Badalik of Veszprem
has been completely isolated from
his clergy and faithful by com
munist police. This had led to the
belief that the regime may be
preparing a "trial" against the
Bishop, the broadcast said.
Another Vatican Radio broad.
cast quoted reports stating that
already 1900 priests and semin.
arians have been drafted for mill.
tary duty by the Hungarian re.
gime. The broadcast stated that
the regime claims it must draft
the clergymen because of the need
of manpower to defend peace

One of the nations leading Ca
tholic educators last week called
for greater emphasis on theology
in Catholic colleges and less on
counting up credits.
He is DIR. Roy ]. Deferrari, Sec.
retary-General of the Catholic Uni.
versity of America, who addressed
the 18th annual convention of the
American Catholic Sociological So
ciety at Washington, d. c.
He urged Catholic college admin.
istrators to reorganize their cur
ricula $50 that emphasis is placed
on studying subject matter and on
training the intellect and the spir'
it, not on accumulating credits"
The revamped college program
DIR. Deferrari declared, must be
centered about group of basic
and unifying subjects: theology
philosophy, and history - but es-
pecially theology"
DR.. Deferrari said that Catholic
educators, while loudly proclaim
ing the Importance of theology
and philosophy in Catholic higher
education, have all too often just
drifted along, initiating their non
Catholic neighbors, and trusting in
a few desultory courses in so-called
religious education and the general
atmosphere of their institutions to
provide that element which would
justify their being called Catholic.

with little discrimination, has led
to the downfall of many Catholic
colleges as Catholic colleges" he
said. Likewise the introduction
of 'ad hoe courses into various
programs of study in such numbers
that the prefessed purpose of
Catholic college is obscured, has
contributed heavily to this same
end"
Dr. Deferrari gave as examples
of "ad hoe" subjects certain cour-
Ses" in business, home economics,
and library science.)
''The program of the great ma
jority of colleges today is not a
unit bound together by pervad-
ing philosophy and theology, with
all the teachers and students par
ticipating in the program conscious
of the common end of their COM
bined efforts, but largely hetero-
geneouS collection of separate and
distinct compartments of learning
with each teacher thinking primar
lily of the purely intellectual or
academic phase of his own subject
alone, and the student expecting
nothing more than this from each
course and its teacher" he con-
tinued.
"Any consciousness of a rela-
tionship between a course and the
total program has been essentially
lost"

To Mr.. and Mrs. Ivan Lampret,
a Slovenian couple, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Lario Stilinovic of Yugosla-

of the whole afternoon.
There were other highlights,
however. One of them was the

Congratulations came from all

were married in st. Joseph's Cathe-
dral last July. They first met in
European DIP camp four years
ago.
Diffident at first, the guests lost
their shyness as the afternoon wore
on and by the time the party was
over, all of them seemed to feel a
little less displaced.

One day, as his friends were car
rying him to his station, he saw st.
Peter and st. John walking towards
the Temple and asked for aims.
Peter said: "Silver and gold l have
none; but what l have | give thee.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Naz-
areth, arise and walk" Taking the
man by his right hand, st. Peter
raised him up, and Immediately his
feet and ankles became strong.
And the lame man went with them
into the Temple, walking, leaping
and praising God. The Acts of the
Apostles, which records this event,
relates that this miracle occasioned
at least 5000 conversions,
This narrative was the occasion
of a terrific storm some 40 years

For some time this man had stud.

of st. Peter in Gods plan for His

the lame man was a symbol of the
Anglican communion: lame from

Scotland District
Says No Catholic
Teachers Wanted

LONDON, NC) - A Catholic
cannot become a teacher in the
Scots county of Caithness, it has
been revealed.
Col. Ian McHardy, Caithness di-
rector of education, announced this
when he told the county educa-
tion committee that he was asking
an applicant for the post of do
mestic science teacher at Wick
High School whether she was a
Protestant or a Catholic. The
rule is contained in the education
committees minutes, he pointed
out. The applicant was from Ire
land.
A member of the committee,
James Mulraine, objected to this,
saying that if there were Catholic
pupils there should be Catholic
teachers.
Councillor J. Abrach Mackay
said the school was a Protestant
one and they should try to avoid
appointing a Catholic. The com
mittee deferred its decision.

Reparation
Is Keynote
OF Sunday
Millions In Nation Offer
Prayer And Penance
For All Prosecuted

In the Columbus Diocese as well
as throughout the nation, Catho-
lies last Sunday besieged heaven
with prayers and penances in ans
wer to the call of their Bishops to
observe December 80 as a day OF
prayer and reparation for their
prosecuted brethren in the com
munist-ruled lands.
Following the last Sunday Mass
in city churches, from coast to
coast there was all-day exposition
of the Blessed Sacrament. In the
late afternoon or evening, there
was a Holy Hour at which Litanies
and other special prayers were re.
cited, followed by Benediction of
the Blessed Sacrament.
In rural chapelS of the nation,
where all-day exposition was in
advisable, there were Holy Hours
followed by Benediction.
At virtually all Sunday Masses,
appropriate sermons were preach
ed, dealing with the most cruel
persecution of the Church in mod
ern times. Prayers were offered
too for the conversion of Russia.
In some localities the faithful
made their way through drifts of
snow to reach their churches. In
other places they travelled along
icy streets and highways, in bitter
cold, to be one with their fellow
Catholics of the United States in
remembering TIL cir prosecuted
brethren in other lands.
The day of prayer and repara.
tion was the outgrowth of a re.

ed for widespread prayer for unity
with the See of Peter. 1t was a real
stroke of genius when he discover
ed the best time for this prayer. He
discovered in the Roman calendar
that the Feast of the Chair of st.
Peter at Rome was observed on
January 18 and the Feast of the
Conversion of st. Paul on January
25; the period embracing these
two feasts was eight days-an 0c-
tave. That was how the Chair of
Unity Octave was born.
It was first observed by the COM
munity he founded and some SYM
pathetic readers of The Lamp mag
azine in 1908. The clash between
opposition and enthusiasm which
greeted the first observance of the
Octave, served to spread it all the
farther.
BY October 80, 1909, the tiny
community of the Society of the
Atonement was received into the
Catholic Church. This unique type
of reception was made possible
through the gracious concession of
Blessed Pope Plus X, who had him
self followed the development of
the community with great interest
and prayed for its conversion. The
same Pope also gave his approval
and blessing on the work of pro-
noting the Chair of Unity Octave
This has been repeated by all the
Popes who have succeeded him.
