national Catholic weekly maga-
zine published here, Father Fich-
ter said that although much more
research is needed before his par
ish studies could be projected
across the United States, he has
also discovered other important
factors in his parish research.
Roughly" he said, I'VE learn
ed that about 10 per cent of
the parishioners are nUelesr,
20 per cent are modal. and 20
per cent are marginal" A nue.
lear parishioner "is one who is
at the core Of the parish by
reason of his regularity at re-
IisioUs practices, and by reason
of his activity as mem
ber of a social unit" Modal
parishioners are average" and
marginal Catholics are those
between fhe average and the
faIIen-away in religious prae-
fiees.
The Jesuit sociologiSt, who
spent the past year as a distin-
guished visiting professor at the
University of Notre Dame where
he conducted further parish re-
search, also told the AVE MARIA
editors that there is a lack of
understanding on the part of
priests about the status and role
of the Catholic American lay
man."
He added, 81 think the main
problem in this area is the fail
ure on the part of the clergy to
recognize the tremendous potent
ial of the laity for the good of
the Church"
There is a "built-in difficulty"
which helps explain why laymen
are not exercising positions of
leadership within the Church. The
problem, Father FIGHTER says, is
that "One of the basic values in
our American culture is upward
mobility-the opportunity to rise
to a higher position, to improve
oneself-and one of the last
places where the lay Catholic can
find a channel of upward mobll-
ity is in the Church.
"He can achieve higher status

ed by priests"
The priest-sociologist explained
further that I'm not suggesting
a revolution of democratization
of the Church. / don't know
whether this PROBLEM can ever
be solved. But as a sociologist,
must recognize the problem.
Il think there should be much
greater recognition of the laity.
1t seems to me that the most
successful pastors are the ones
who know how to do this. They
look for ways to promote initial
i've, to give recognition, to en-.
courage the laity to share in de.
clSion-making."
Specifically, he said, Il think
that laymen can run many of the
Parish organizations better than
priests and that they should be
encouraged to run them, whether
it is group trying to help youth
through an athletic program OF
through a scout program. This is
their job, this is what they know
how to do best. The more you give
them the right to do this, the bet
ter they will do it."

Cutback Nav
Affect Many
In Military

WASHINGTON The Defense
Department admitted Friday
that the 1O0,0OO-man cutback
in military strength ordered
last month will affect many Of
ficers within a few years or
retirement.
A spokesman said that almost
$4,000 officers in the Army, Navy
and Air Force are due for re-
lease under present plans. Twice
this number may be affected by
a further cut limited by Defense
Secretary Charles E. Wilson last
week.
Generally speaking, the
spokesman said, officers within
two years of completing the 20
year active duty minimum for
retirement will be retained. How
ever officers with Is to II years
of services may be released and
made ineligible for retirement
benefits, he added.
No estimate of this number
in this group was given, be-
cause the cutback is not yet
in effect and each service has
it's own standards for determin-
ing which men should be put
on inactive status.
