power to govern themselves but

ops for their prayers for his health.

es TO express his grateful thanks
10 you and TO fhe other Hun
garia7 Bishops for your pray
ers and devoted good wishes.
Asking Gods help, the Holy Fa-
ther gives you and your faithful

Fr. kreuskamp
Given Pastor
Emeritus Title

Father Francis J. Kreus-
kamp, formerly pastor of Saint
Peters Parish, Chillicothe, has
been given the honorary title
of Pastor Emeritus by Bishop
Ready. Father Kre u skamp
served the Parish in Chilli
cothe for SO years and for
much of that time acted as
auxiliary Chaplain to the Vet
Grams Hospital in that city.
During his long service at Saint
Peters he built a new school and
after the disastrous fire in 1947 di-
rected the rebuilding of the beau
tiful parish church. In 1853 the
convent serving the Sisters of the
school was enlarged and renovated.
On December 8 Father Kreus-
kamp returned to the United States
after long journey to Europe and
the Near East where he visited
France, Switzerland, Italy and the
Holy Land. While in Rome, Father
Kreuskamp had the joy of celebrat-
ing Mass at the Pontifical Propa-
ganda Seminary where he had
studied as youth and of visiting
Saint John Lateran Church where
he had been ordained by the Most
Reverend Joseph Cippatelli, Vice
Gerent of Rome, in 1905.
Father KreUsksmp plans 10
celebrate fhe Golden Jubilee of
his ordination to fhe Sacred
Priesthood al Saint Peters
church, chillicofhe, on Laetare
Sunday, March 20. Presently he
is living at 6756 Belkenton

In letter to Father Kreuskamp,
Bishop Ready said in part:
$. confer the honorary title
of Pastor Emeritus on you because
of your thirty-three years of faith
full service to the good people of
Saint Peters parish, Chillicothe.
Il trust" the Bishop continued,
that the Lord will deign to grant
you the peace and happiness sought
for in your years of retirement.
You deserve such an earthly re-
ward after the fifty years of active
work in the Sacred Ministry"

He remarked:
"We have bowed to the whims

Church-State
Phrase Harms
Public Schools

BOSTON - NC) - Public
schools have been "clubbed"
into a spiritual neutrality" by
t h e phrase separation of
Church and State" Boston
School Committeeman Joseph
Lee said at a meeting Of the
School Committee here.
"The phrase, separation of
Church and State may be a
good one, but it occurs in none
of our constitutions" he said.
Mr.. Lee pointed out that the
Constitution of the Common
wealth of Massachusetts prohibits
the use of public funds for the
founding, maintaining or aiding
any school or institution of learn
ing, whether under public control
or otherwise, wherein any denom-
national doctrine is inculcated."
The General Laws of the Com
monwealth, however, said Mr.. Lee,
require all instructors of youth
''to impress the principles of
piety'' on the children in their
care.
Under these provisions, said Mr..
Lee, there is no excuse for "skimp-
ing in our classrooms that mighty
uprush of reverence for God in
worshippers from all religions
without distinction for denomina-
tional creed" The obstacles are
provided by Federal Law, as inter-
preted in various Supreme Court
decisions. Massachusetts law for
bids formal classes in religious in
struction in public schools, he said,
but eHjoins teaching the "prinei-
Piles of piety."

Members of the Laymen's Re-
treat League were congratu-
lated Sunday by Bishop Ready
on the occasion of their tenth
Anniversary. The BiSh op
spoke to the members of the
League during the organiza-
tons annual banquet held in
the Virginia Hotel.
Earlier, the Bishop had cele-
brated Pontifical Benediction
in St. Joseph Cathedral attend
by more than 300 League members.
The Bishop told the group that
he was both "edified and graft
fed as he reviewed the growth of
the organization in the diocese. He
also stressed the fact that the
league is truly a lay organization
and as such will continue to be
supervised by the laity.
The guest speaker for the occa-
sion was Edward j. Allen, enforce
ment chief of the Ohio Department
of Liquor Control and an outstand-
ing Catholic layman.

has proposed that a special chapter
of a documentary" publication on
the liberation of Zagreb in May 1945
be devoted to the 'treacherous and
crimina activities of the higher
Roman Catholic Church leaders
led by war-criminal Stepi1ac.
DIR. Vladimir Bakaric, the chief
minister of the provincial govern
ment of Croatia, is on a ten-mem-
ber committee of the Yugoslav
Academy Of Science and Arts which
has the task of preparing the doc
umentary publication" to commem-
crate the tenth anniversary of the
Liberation Of Zagreb.
He said fhe chapter on the Ca.
sholie leaders should be included
"in order that the future gener.
asions Of fhe croafian people
may be taught what perfidioUs
role was played by the Church
Of Rome"
Comrades, members of the
Yugoslav Academy" said Bdkaric,
Eve must not spare any effort to
unmask the diabolic figure of Step
inac who still enjoys great person
al prestige among the masses of
the Catholics. The main aim of the
forthcoming publication by the
Academy is to kill forever the
sanity picture of the criminal
Stepin9c which lives in the imag-
jnation of the people"
The Zagreb Academy which is
preparing this attack on the
Church was founded by Bishop J.
]. Strossmayer in 1867. Until the
communists took ii over, it was un-
der the patronage of the Archbish-
op of Zagreb.

Especially his understanding Of
Frances problems" and his
burning desire for peace" were
very evident.
During the audience M. Mendes-
France presented His Holiness with
two volumes of the writings of
Bishop Bossuet, famed 18th GEN.
tury French preacher and author.
After the audience Nine. Mendes-
France, Count Vladimir d'Ormes-
son, French Ambassador to the
Holy See, and other members of
the Premier's party were presented
to the Pope.
Meanwhile, French public opin-
ion has shown great interest in the
visit of the Premier to His Holi-
ness.
1t was evident that the Premier,
who unlike his immediate predeces-
sors is not a Catholic but a Jew,
wanted an audience with the Holy
Father very much.
He wanted it, it is believed here,
because of his strong desire to re-
assure Church authorities in
France of his good will toward
Catholics.
M. Mendes-France came to power
following an unusual and indepen-
dent campaign waged among the
parties of the left, which are tradi-
tionally hostile toward the Church.
Although he has always remained
personally aloof from religious
controversies, he had not voted for
any of the proposals seeking to pro-
tect or enlarge Catholic rights that
had been submitted in the National
Assembly.
He is a realist, however, and has
always been careful to use all avail
able resources, moral as we'll as ma
terial, to safeguard the national and
international interests for which
he has been made responsible.
AS he had taken advantage of his
trip to Canada to visit His Emil
nence Paul Emile Cardinal Leger,
Archbishop of Montreal, the Pre-
mier did not want to 90 to Rome
without calling on the Holy Father.
He could not have failed to ap-
preciate the great physical effort
the Pope must have made in order
to receive him so soon after his ILL
ness. 1t is also impossible that he
was not wildly impressed by the
prestige of the supreme head of the
Church.
Most of what the Premier and
the Holy Father discussed is not
known. But there is no doubt that
their ardent desire for world peace
expressed again by the Pope in
his Christmas message-was a ma
jor topic.
It is most unlikely that internal
French politics were dealt with in
any way. At the present time there
do not seem to be any major prob
lens that have to be solved by
agreements between France and
the Holy See.

More Blows

In Argentina

VATICAN CITY - radio.
NC - Recent measures adop-
ted by the Peron regime in Ar
gentina are contrary to the
common sentiment of the great
majority of the people" and
have made the situation of
Catholicism ''every day more
serious and painful"
This statement was made by Os-
servatore Romano, Vatican City
newspaper, in its latest comment
on the Church-state controversy in
Argentina in which it referred
especially to the adoption of new
law legalizing divorce for the first
time in that country.
Osserva torres comment was
prompted by an interview publish
ed in the Paris newspaper lie Mon
de in which Argentine Foreign
Minister Jeronimo Remorino de-
clared that his government seeks
only to "norrnalize" relations with
the Church.
The newspaper said it would like
to know what is the norm" the
minister has in mind, and what his
government is thinking of in NOR
maiizing" matters.
ais the imposition Of divorce
on = people whose very great
majority Is Catholic 'normaI'?"
Osservsfore asked. "Is II normal
that the minister, who processes
himself a Catholic, should eaII
Catholic opposition TO divorce
'seetsrisn'? Are fhe limitations
on religious education and spiF-
ifUal assistance in schools nor
NAL considering that such things
were permitted until yesterday?
Finally, is the rigorous, not 70
say hostile, control 10 which
Catholic educational institutions
sre subjected normal or fhe
abrupt prohibition by law of re-
lisioUs manifestations in public
pIsees?"
0sservatore charged that recent
measures of the Peron government
have struck, not just at individuals,
but at ''the very doctrine of the
Church, Christian moral law, the
family, and the morals of a great
Christian people"
The newspaper recalled it had
previously commented on the situa-
ton in Argentina on December "a
and 80 last. On those occasions, it
said, its comments were based on
declarations of the Peron regime
and we're intended to stress the dis
proportionate steps the government
was taking to stop the alleged sin
filtrations" of some ecclesiastics in
trade union organizations.

Rome Extends Faculty To
Transfer Easter Vigil Rites

VATICAN CITY-Radio, NC
The privilege of transferring the
liturgy of Holy Saturday from the
morning to the evening hours of
the same day has been extended to
Bishops for another year, under a
special decree of the Sacred Con-
gregation of Rites.
The faculty to transfer the Holy
Saturday rites from the morning
to the evening was first granted to
Bishops in 1851 as an experiment.
AT that time it was pointed out that
moving the liturgy back to the eve
ming hours would restore it to its
ancient function of being an Easter
Vigil service.

Methodist Bishop Costen ]. Har-
rell of Charlotte, NC, pointed out
that "in recent years we have wit
messed an alarming movement to-
ward the secularization of educa-
ton"
Some of the leaders dismiss
Fhe idea of God as irrelevant"
he said. They replace theology
with technology and substitute
human smarfness for moral and
spiritual values. In its extreme
form, his approach is blatant
pasanism :"
And Nathaniel F. Forsyth, as
sociate secretary of the Methodist
Board of Education, declared: 'In
our zeal to dissociate church from
state we have dissociated religion
from the education of the people

with other denominations, for this

Freedom From Religicn7
In his address delivered at a
dinner for the Board of Educa-
tion and the National Association

Methodist Church, DR.. McCrady,
an Episcopalian, criticized the Nc
Collum decision of the U. S. Su-
preme Court, which he said makes
one wonder whether it is designed
to provide freedom of religion or
freedom from religion"
DR.. McCrady deplored the fact
that 'the home, unfortunately, has
virtually abdicated all response
bility for education of the children,
turning them over to the public
schools for most of the hours of
