Rome Weighs
.BeatificatiOn
OF Ozanan

VATICAN CITY. (NC) - The
Sacred Congregation of Rites met
here to discuss the possibility of
introducing the cause for the
beatification of Frederic Ozanam,
founder of the Society of st. Vim
cent de Paul, who died in Paris,
France, in 1853, at the age Of 40.
Similar discussions took place in
connection with Father Luigi Pa
lazzolo (1827-86), an Italian priest
who was remarkable for his eff
forts to bring the benefits of edu-
cation to the poor. He established
the Works Of st. Dorothy and OF
the Holiday Schools, and founded
the Institute of the Sisters of the
Poor for the education of orphans
and neglected children.
The Congregation meanwhile had
under consideration resumption of
the cause for the canonization OF
Blessed Antonio Pucci (1819-92)
humble Italian priest, who was
beatified on May %, 1852. Or
dained in 1843, he spent all his
priestly life in the parish of ST.
Andrew in Viareggio.
Special interest centered in the
Congregations discussions regard
ing Frederic Ozanam because of
worldwide petitions for his beati-
fication, especially on the occasion
of the centenary of his death.
Born of French parents in Milan,
Italy, 0zanam went to France as
young man TO study law. He
spent much of his time as a law
yer pleading the cases of poor
clients, and was noted for his
many writings defending religion
against the attacks of anti-clerical
and anti-religious forces.

Elizabeth Praised
As She Debunks
Namesake's MYTH

LONDoN-NC)-The British Ca
tholic press has congratulated
Queen Elizabeth II for debunking
her infamous predecessor of the
same name.
Some people have expressed the
hope that my reign may mark a
new Elizabethan age" the Queen
said in a radio address. Frankly
do not myself feel at all like my
great Tudor forbear who was bIes-
ed with neither husband nor chill
dren, who ruled as a despot and
was never able to leave her native
shores"
Catholic papers here expressed
hope that the Queens remark
would check some of the exagger-
ated and false interpretations of
the policies and character of the
first Elizabeth foisted upon the ma
tion during Coronation Year and
the sometimes provocative com
pariSon of those times with the
present day.

~ The Society for the Props-

Fathers own Mission-aid Plan.
The Holy Father is like the father

show no preferences. It is right
and just that each missionary so-

members, and its own localities
and such help must be encour-

UN Chief Denies
Atheism, Culture
Supplanting Claim

ROME - (NC)-The United Ma
tions Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization CUNESCO),
far from seeking to impose cul-
ture of its own, aims at ensuring
to member nations the integrity
and independence of their own cul-
lures and educational systems.
These assurances were given
here by Luther Evans, director gen
eral of UNESCO, who also denied
accusations that the organization
favors atheism. He pointed out
that all beliefs and PHILOSOPHERS
are represented among the mem
ber nations. DIR. Evans spoke dur
ing a visit to the Italian national
UNESCO committee, which is
headed by Senator Casati.
Explaining the purposes of
UNESCO, DR.. Evans stressed that
the organization he heads is not,
and was never meant to be, an in
strument of cultural dirigism.
UNESCO, he said, does not create
a culture of its own. Its functions
are solely of an administrative ma
ture, he added, to bring about
more frequent contact among in
tellectuaIs of various countries, to
promote deeper mutual under
standing of the art and the think
ing of different peoples, and to
further cooperation among experts
in joint efforts.

You probably have often con-
sidered how to send sacrifice to
The Holy Father in these trying
times. Now you know.
Members of the Propagation
of the Faith are those who also
pray for conversions each
day,-just an "Our Father" "Hail
Mary" and "St. Francis Xavier,
pray for us" They thus contrib
ute the spiritual wealth needed
to convert souls. Father Kulp
will gladly send you a beautiful

member the prayers for CONVEX

Judge Saws

Los ANGELES-NC) - Modern
secularists forgetting the natural
law in their efforts to obtain free.
dom. have often brought instead
political and economic slavery and
moral chaos, Judge Edward S. Dore
said at an Archdiocesan Natural
Law Institute here.
Modern teachers forgot" he
said. that while seeking and de.
manding freedom in the political,
economic and social orders they
had already cut away the basis Of
that freedom by what they we're
teaching of the nature Of man in
the intellectual and spiritual order
IF, as these teachers taught"
he continued, "man Is mere ami
NAL essentially no different from
the other animals. the result Of a
mindless materialistic evolution.
what basis is there in reason for
not treating him as such, and using
him as men do other animals for
any purpose their owners see fit?
And is not that the very thing
the modern atheistic tryants are
doing to man today?
"If there is no objective moral
order or natural law imposed
on man by God for whose serv-
ices man was made, here and
hereafter, what basis is there
for any inherent rights in man
that the state or any one in pow
er need respeet7"
"Today's problem is not Of eff
ficiency but of freedom" the New
York jurist said. 1T is not of the
relation between man and man as
it seems on the surface, but in the
relation of man to God. The denial
Of the human person was implicit
in the denial of the Divine person.
Without faith" he concluded,
"there is no rational basis for free
dom"

pelate Division Of New York State S
