Jesuit Priest
To Tour Russia
This Summer

NEW YORK - (NC) - An
American Jesuit is scheduled to
arrive in Leningrad on Sunday,
July 20, becoming what is believ-
ed to be the first American priest
to enter the Soviet Union as a
tourist.
Father Walter C. Jaskievicz, S.
j., director of Fordham Univer-
sity's Institute of Contemporary
Russian Studies, has received a
tourist visa from the USSR for a
30-day tour of eight Russian cit
les.
Upon receiving the visa, Father
Jaskievicz, who speaks and reads
Russian fluently, expressed the
hope Ito get better personal ac-
quaintance with the Soviet Union
and its peoples, as far as pos
sible."
1T is always profitable to test
the value of theoretical knowl-
edge against reality and this Wis
it. TO the Soviet Union will be
in the nature of practical check
within the limits of feasibility"

Pope Pictures
Ideal Catholic
School Pupil

CASTELGANDoLFO, Italy -
His Holiness Pope Plus XII took
the occasion of an address to a
general chapter of the Congrega-
ton of Holy Cross to describe the
kind of youths the Church ex-
poets Catholic schools to produce.
He pictures youths who have
come to develop "a calm and
well balanced Judgment. cap
able Of discerning between
truth and error. good and evil.
Justice and its failure"
Firmly grounded in convic-
tions planted by faith and rea-
son." the Pope said, the product
of a Catholic school must be
strong enough not to be carried
away by false illusions, violent
passion or a tickle public opin-
ion which measures everything by
the rule of immediate, apparent
success"
In Catholic students who have
been consistently motivated in
their thoughts and conduct by
Christ's teaching and example,
"you may confidently look for
ward to their being a joy to His
spouse, the Church, and an asset
to society" he said.
knowledge and mans crav-
ing for knowledge have always
been a weapon cleverly welded
by the enemies of Gods Church"
the Pontiff declared. "lt is so
today. Catholic Scholars must be
prepared to meet the enemy on
his own grounds"

pace and new strains of modern
living have given many persons
today psycho-neurotic problems
of which their ancestors had new
er dreamed.
Actually Recovery, Inc, has
nothing to do with religion" Fa-
ther Higgins explained. "It is a
simple, c0mmon-sense medical
technique to get people to
strengthen their own will"
Use of will power can become
immensely difficult for a mentally
i'll person, Father Higgins told the
nuns. He said that is why Recov-
cry members are induced at the
start to practice use of will pow
er in small things He added that
gradually the will is strengthened
until it is capable of taking COM
mand over big things. The tech
nique is similar to that stressed
by st. Ignatius in his Spiritual
Exercises" Father Higgins said.
"St. Ignatius said 'agere con-
tra,' Ego against your own inor-
dinate Desires" Father Higgins
explained. "The Recovery, Inc,
principle is much the same: DO
what you hate to do Although
Recovery is in no sense q relig-
ion, it does develop in its partici-
pants the discipline of Christian
asceticism, and other virtues as
welI-humility, obedience, re-
spect for the doctors authority"
While some theologians once
scoffed at the Recovery, Inc,
techniques, the results of the
movement have silenced most OBJ
jections, Father Higgins said.

AutOmatiOn
Called Part
Of DiUine Plan

VATICAN CITY-Automation
like all developments of science,
is part of the divine plan to en-
able man to use the riches of
nature.
But the Church calls upon SCI
ence, especially in mass produc-
tion industries, to take into ac-
count mans spiritual and social
needs.
This was the basic theme of a
letter addressed to the president
and participants of the 43rd
French Social Week in Marseilles.
II was sent on behalf of His HoIi-
ness Pope Plus XII by Msgr. An
gelo Dell'Acqua, Vatican Substi-
tute Secretary of State for ordin-
ary Affairs. The letter expressed
the Pope's thoughts on the prob
lens of automation.
AS far back as Pope Leo XIII,
Msgr. DelPAcqua said, the atten-
tion of the world was called to
the necessity of considering hu-
man requirements as a part of
technical progress, so that this
progress would not become IAN
instrument of corruption"
Only recently, the prelate re-
called, Pope Plus XII said in an
address to the international Con-
ference on Human Relations in In
dustry that progress in improving
working conditions is too slow in
many countries and on entire con-
tinents.

The pamphlet, distributed by

God are devices by which relig-

The pamphlet shows clearly,

Divorce Not Justified
In Bible, Jesuit Says

ROME - (NC) - The conten-
tion that two passages in the Cos
pei according to st. Matthew con-
tain a justification for divorce on
the grounds of immortality is re-
futed anew by Father A. Vaccari,
ST., in La Civilta Cattolica, the
Italian Jesuit magazine.
The false contention is based
on a mistranslation of a word,
Father Vaccari says.
The Jesuit scholar notes that
this contention is difficulty of
long standing, but points out that
the Church has always condemn
ed divorce. What he has attempt.
ed to do, he asserts, is to put
down in one place, and in an or
derly fashion, the fruits of the
most advanced scholarship down
through the ages bearing on this
point.

Education Has
Bright Future
For Catholics

DENVER-(NC(-A bright fu-
ture lies ahead for Catholic schol-
arship and education at the grad
uate level in the United States. a
noted Jesuit educator said here.
Noting the lag in Catholic in
tellectual activity in the past Fa-
ther Edward ]. 0'Donnell, ST.,
President of Marquette Univer-
sity, Milwaukee. said the reason
was that Catholics have had to
concentrate their attention upon
elementary and high school edu-
cation.
Catholic schools on the under
graduate level ''have made sig
nificant progress" Father O'Don-
ell noted. "But you don't expect
the undergraduate to be a schol-
ar" he said.
The Jesuit educator explained
that Catholic institutions of high
er learning are faced with "tre-
mendous" financial problems. Ca
tholic colleges aspiring for excel
lence in scholarship are constant
ly troubled by inadequate funds,
he added
"We haven't got the answers
to the problem of tagging scholar
ship at the top levels of Catholic
life, Father O'Donnell admitted.
"But the answers will be forth
coming if we give our attention
to finding them" he said.

WASHINGTON - (NC) -
Another yardstick measuring
the enormous growth in the
number of Catholic schools,
teachers and students has
been made available here.
This latest sizing-vp. an se-
fUsI count IS opposed TO earli-
er estimates, covers the school
year l953-54 and shows that,
since 1870 the number Of Cath
oIie schools OF all types has in.
creased by 80 per cent teach
srs by 142 per cent, and stu
dents by 10 per cent.
The study is the biennial sum-
mary Of Catholic education car
ried out by the Department Of
Education of the National Cath
olic Welfare Conference. Such
summaries were begun in 1920.
In the 1953-54 school year, the
survey shows, there were 4.176.-
673 pupils enrolled in 12,118
schools stated by 131, ,713 teach
ers.
Since I953-54
These figures provide the lat
est accurate reflection of the sta
tus of Catholic education. But it
is possible to get some indica-
tion of the growth which has TAX
en- place even since the job of
tallying the 1953-54 survey was
begun. Previous estimates releas-
ed by the NCWC department give
the information.

veree and that Christ permits
this one exception.
However, after examin in
these phrases from the stand
point of linguistics. Father Vac
carl points out that the original
Greek in which the text comes
down to us does not distinguish
between married woman or
wife and an unmarried woman.
Neither did the Aramaic lam
guage spoken by Christ and His
disciples. Therefore, the Jesuit
states, the passage should be
more accurately translated as
whoever puts away his woman, :"
not "wife'.
Moreover, the article asserts,
the translation of the word sim

Tracing the text back through
the Greek to the Aramaic Ian
guage of the days of Christ and
the Hebrew of the old law, Fa-
ther Vaccari shows that the He.
brew word "zenut," which cor
responds~to the Greek word trans
lated as immortality" is tech
nical legal term which means, not
immortality" or "fornication,"
but "concubinage" or invalid un-
ion"
In other words, Father Vaccari
says, Christ is saying that "com-
mon law marriage" or coacubin-
age, unions free of legal and re-
ligious sanction, are invalid and
not binding in the eyes of God.
The passages, therefore, do not
provide an exception of any kind
sanctioning divorce where there
is valid marriage, the priest
scholar continues.
