a situation.
But it seems to me that as
long as we keep our sense
of proportion, we do well 10
pay a rather close attention
to this novel incident. Today
incredible events are hap
pening so fast that we seem
to be losing our capacity for
being surprised.
NEW NATIONS ARE form
ing overnight, old traditions
such as that of a Protestant
President are co llapsing,
heads Of great nations take
off a shoe on a public plat

public. 1t takes a lot to sur
prise us today.
| believe that the first
visit of a head of the Eng
lish church to Rome since
the Reformation may not be
as hair-raising and spectacu-
lar an event as some of the
items we read in the daily
press but it is a news item
that deserves more attention
than it is receiving. That
there are barriers that will
remain for many years to
come between Anglicans and
Catholics is no reason for
dismissing the visit as incon-
sequential.

Sum and Substance:
The Archbishop's
Courtesy Visit
by FIR. John b. Sheerin, esp.

The Archbishop of Can
terbury will visit Pope
John in early December.
Little has been said in
the daily press about it.
Both the Vatican and the
Archbishop have cautioned
against excessive publ ity
that might rouse false hopes
of reunion.
The English Archbi S h 0 p
has taken great pains to UNI
derplay the importance of the
visit. He has referred to it
as 'this tiny and altogether
unspectacular and yet novel
incident of a visit of cour-
tesy." Some commentator re-
marked that the Archbishop
and the Holy Father will dis
cuss "trivialities," to which
the Archbishop replied that
the visit will be exchange of
pleasantries about pr fu n
dities."
IT is NOT SURPRISING
that an English Archbishop
should be undramatic and
should bend over backwards
lest he give the impression
of being enthusiastic about a
prospect. He simply being
truly English just as an
American might 60 to the

Wants Mass
In English

Editor:
When first the dialogue
Mass was announced in the
press, | was truly pleased. But
when it turned out that in
stead of a true dialogue, we
had only a parroting of Latin
responses my joy melted
away.
IN MY YOUTH | had the
honor of being an altar boy
for several years and later |
had the advantage of two years
of formal study of the Latin
language. This experience,
perhaps, gives me a better
pronunciation and understand
ing of the responses than the
average American Catholic.
Still | cannot think in Latin
and this is a great impedi-
ment. Ones mind is occupied
with the mechanics of trans
lation rather than naturally
communicating with ones
God. Can anyone say this is
an advantage?
LANGUAGE is ONLY
a tool Of communication and
not a magic formula. 1t is
most difficult to fully under
stand the Lords Prayer in our
own tongue, without introduc-
ing the distraction of an I'M
familiar language.
II would seem to me the
ideal way to pray the Mass in
performed in Latin by the
the native tongue, up to the
Conservation. The Consecra-
ton and Communion would be
Priest as in times past, with
the congregation, each making
his own alteration in his own
personal and most understand
able way.

have increased the number
and to have made the people
more abortion conscious"
AT LEAST TWO FACTS
need to be stressed: First,
abortion" is murder. The
fetuS has individual rights
as a person and is not mere
ly a part of the mothers
body-as is an appendix. Old
English law evidently made
that precise mistake.
Physicians and the public
should rather realize that
when a child is born it is
already about 265 days old.
Birth merely marks the abil-
ity of a child to take over the
function of nutrition and
breathing independently of
the body of his mother. EN-
bryology indicates that at
about six weeks of intrauter-
inc life the fetus is already
formed to the extent Of hav-
ing eyes, limbs, sexual or
gans, and SO on. Therapeutic
abortion is feticide or homo
side. Anyone performing an
abortion should be tried as
any killer who must justify
his action before the court.
SECONDLY, PHYSICIANS
need to realize that abortion
is unjustified in medicine.
The following are sometimes
given as reasons for abor-
ton: Rheumatic heart disease,
hypertensive cardiovasc ular
disease, coronary artery dis
ease, chronic nephritis, n.y.
dronephrosis, pol ycysti C
kidneys, renal stones, neuro-
logic diseases, tuberculosis,

port and the majority of the
delegates at the Montreal con-
vention believed that to
achieve this objective it was
necessary for the CTCC to
deconfessionalize. The facts
demonstrate, the Report
points out, that the confess
ional character of the CTCC
was, in the contemporary set
ting of French Canada, a SER
ious obstacle to the expansion
of the organization.
Many non-C Catholic workers
in French Canada would not
join the CTCC so long as it
was regarded as a strictly
Catholic organization, and
many English-speaking work
ers would refuse to join SO
long as it was regarded as an
exclusively French" Canada
organization.
Moreover, it was felt by the
authors of the Report and by
the majority of the delegates
attending the Montreal conven,
tion that the CTCC could no
longer operate efficiently as
theological or confessional"
organization under the North
American system of labor re-
lations law.
THE LAW I'M CANADA as
well as in the United States
confers exclusive bargaining
rights on any union which
can demonstrate in a super
vised election that it repre-
sents the majority of the
workers in a given unit. A

Why Debunk
The Saints?
by FIR. Healey

@. II seems TO mo that many
modern Catholic scholars are
TOO anxious TO "debunk" the

of the revised Buffers Lives of
the Saints. edited by Thurs

A. 1t is possible that there
have been some extremes in
the modern effort to establish
the lives of the saints on a
basis of historical accuracy.
This effort, however, is much
like the attitude of the Church
in regard to visions, miracles,

Of the Thurston- Attwater re-
vision is worth reading. He
points out that saints are
made by the people. the
Church steps in later to
check erroneous claims of
sanctity and to vertify anthem
tic saints. For the first thou
sand years this process was
rather informal and more or
less local. The first papal
canonization is believed to be
that of Bishop Uric of Augs-
burg, who died in 973 and was
formally declared by Pope
John XIV twenty years later
to be entitled to the devout
veneration Of all the faithful.
In the latter part of the
twelfth century Pope Alexan-
der III definitely reserved to
the Holy See the right to pro-
nounce on a persons right to
be called a saint. When the
scholars clarity the issues we
can enter more freely into
prayers for their intercession
and imitation of their lives.
Scholars in this field are
simply trying to eliminate the
non-authentic persons from

Contee was convicted of

sentence me now kill me

forward from the back of the
courtroom and struck a Mont
gomery County detective i'm
mediately afterward, for which
he was later found guilty of
assault and battery.
Contee's attorney, James B.
Davis. had asked for a new
trial on grounds that the jury
should have been questioned
on their views on racial preju-
dice and segregation.
In denying the motion. the
judges opinion said that the
jury panel had a Negro as one
Of its members.
Contee was brought into the
courtroom in handouts which
were removed while the judges
were in the bench and replaced
as soon as the 5-minute court
session adjourned. Contee was
returned to the Montgomery

that calls itself the American
