What to Do
After IS
by THOMAS COLLINS

Il am intelligent enough to
know. and I'm sure many other
people are, that retirement is
a series Of problems" a busi-
nessman said this week. TITS a
problem Of enough money. a
problem Of where and how to
live. a problem Of what to do
and so on.
Most of us solve the prob
lens In one way or another.
But life at IS must have more
meaning than the solving of
problems Of existence more
than eating and fishing and
getting out Of the rain. What
Is the meaning?
Surely 1t is something be-
yond the current popular idea
that at IS we are through and
done with. not fit for a job any
more. and destined to sit in
the sun until we die. But what?"
An increasing number OF peo-
pie are asking this question as
expanding pension systems and
social security lift more and
more of us above the basic
needs Of existence.
Noble Answers
The woods are full OF noble
answers. and behind very
lamppost thtre's a platitude.
But they don't register.
For people who have dam

whose shoes can hurt, who can
have s.omach-aches and hate

the best answer I have found.
II comes from a man named
Walter =. Upchurch, who re-
tired in 1854 with an income
Of S226 a month - a little
more than a fourth Of what
his salary had been - and who
now lives in a four-room stucco

the back yard.

National Church Idea Is Protestant
In Origin Indian Bishops Say

BANGALORE, India - In
dia's Catholic bishops have
decried the idea of ma
tional Christian Church" as
an essentially Protestant con-
cept. On the other hand, ma
tional hierarchy" they declared,
is perfectly in keeping with Ca
tholic principles.
The bishops made this point

nritAse.
A key proposal brought for
sard by the committee, all but
one OF whose seven members
we're Hindus, was the formation
of a national independent Chris
ton Church" freed of all vestiges
of external authority.
The bishops statement, read in
all churches in the country on
Social Justice Sunday, was is
sued by the Standing Committee
OF the Catholic Bishops Confer
ence of India. A body of IA pre-
lates, the committee is headed
by the country's sole Cardinal,
His Eminence Valerian Cardinal
Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay.
The Bishops said that the idea
of a national church was based
on what they called the "de.
plorable precedent" set up by
Protestants. 1t is wholly incom-
patible," they declared, with the
concept and institution of the
One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic
Church which we have inherited
from the Apostles of Jesus Christ.

The bishops we're referring to

social interest, to the foreign mis-
sionarieS question. The Madhya
Praedesh report, which the BiSh-
ops committee had discussed at
length at its annual meeting less
than three months ago, came in
for sharp criticism.
The prelates referred again to
the "cloud of suspicion and dis
trust" of the Christian commun-
ity in this country which has
come in the wake of the publica-
tion of the Madhya Praedish doc
ument.

the statement stressed the fact
that some individuals and organ
izations have given vent to dis.
concerting display of intolerance
towards the Christian people. "
The prelates said that it was their
duty to address Catholics before
the cloud spread over the whole
community and prejudiced the
people against us" They explain
ed they were proud of the
splendid efforts" of the Catho.
lie laity in this connection who
had rallied to the defense of the
Church and its divine mission in
India.
The message said: THE
Church Christ founded was
TO be, and is, a universal
Church, at home in every eoun-
try and among all people. Ca
thoIicism is nowhere an alien
creed; IL is the 'swsheshi' tbe-
longing TO ones own iandl re
lision of every land.
"At the very beginning II
broke the shell of Judaism from
which it emerged. Going over to
Rome and the Roman Empire, it
became as universal as the Rom
an Empire. And when national
states were set up in Europe,
this supernatural character and
function of the Church was rec
ognized by King as well as En-
peror, by Parliaments and peo-
Piles alike. The Popes and the
Sacred Congregations had juris-
diction over each and every one
of the Catholic peoples of Eu,
rope and, later, of America, and
then of the rest of the world.
Here, in India. the Catholic
Church has been recognized in
MosuI tsie) and in British
times as . supernatural
Church. After independence, we
gratefully acknowledge that this
recognition has been confirmed
by the government OF free and
independent India in grant.
ing rights OF representation TO
the Vatican by The Papal In
ternuneio at New Delhi"
The Bishops called for a com.
mUnity of better Catholics in
India as best answer to Madyha
Praedesh report. To endeavor to
make the church in India conform
more closely to the idea of the
One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church is the most effective re
ply we can offer to the report,
they said.
To strengthen the social sol
idarity" of Catholics, the Bishops
went on, shall be our answer to
the attempts to cast aspersions on
our missionaries from abroad
who are as much our pastors as
those of Indian origin. TO make
ourselves holier than before must
be our reaction to the attempt
to stem the spread of Christian
ity in India the Bishops said.
The statement indicated that
the forthcoming general elections
in the country might give oppor
tunity to defend rights. Remind
ing Catholics of the Church's of
ficial warning against voting fol
members of parties initiating
against God and His Church, the
Bishops said that they had nj
desire to dictate to the Faithful
how they should vote at the cleo
tons.
