Negro, More Thun

THE Negro more than any other Amer
lean citizen of this day, values democracy
because he is engaged in the struggle to
enjoy it. He is engaged in the struggle to
be treated like every other citizen, to be
accepted or rejected, not collectively, on
the basis of his color but individually, on
the basis of whatever merit he may possess.
He asks only the most elemental preroga-
tive of citizenship in a democracy equality

VATICAN CITY-Pope
John XIII declared in
convoking the Second Va
tican Council for 1862
that this meeting of the
Church's entire hierarchy
would benefit not only the
Church but all seeking unity,
and even the world itself.
The Pope's bull announcing
the councils conyocation for
1862 left the actual opening
date unspecified.
The 2,500-word document in
Latin was read Christmas Day
on the wintry porch of St.
Peters basilica by Archbishop
Pericle Felice, general secre-
tary of the councils Central
Preparatory Commission, who
received it from the hands of
the Pope.
POPE JOHNS BULL said
the ecumenical council will
benefit the Church by promot-
ing "the sanctification of its
members, the diffusion of re-
vealed truth, the consolida-
ton of its agencies"
The council will benefit
separated Christians seeking

Memory"
Applause greeted the for
NAL announcement of the
councils convocation, which
came late in the text.
The Archbishop read the
section slowly:
"AFTER HEARING THERE.
FORE the opinion Of Our
Brothers the cardinals of the
Holy Roman Church, with the
authority of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, of the Holy Apostles
Peter and Paul, and with Our
own, We institute, announce
and convoke for the forthcom-
ing year 1862 the ecumenical
and universal council which
will be held in the Vatican
basilica on days that will be
established according to the
opportunity which Good Provi-
dence may deign to give U.s."
THEN THE POPE sPEcIFI.
cALLY asked both Catholics
and non-C Catholics to pray for
the councils success.

point that Christ's divine pres
ence in His Church is most
noticeable sin the most grave

certing fact: the existence Of
a militant atheism which is
active on a world level"
But the Pope found reason
for hope despite these causes
of distress.
"DistrustfuI souls see only
darkness burdening the face
Of the earth.
I'VE instead like to reaffirm
all Our confidence in Our
Saviour who has not left the
world He redeemed"
Pope John drew comfort
from the fact that useful les
sons have been drawn from
the bloody vars of our time
and from the spiritual ruins
left by many ideologies.

People

LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who chose to become an
exile from Your Heavenly Home that we, the exiled
children of Eve, might not be banished forever from
Your Fathers Face; You Who as an infant in Your Mo-
theirs arms, fled into a strange land to escape the ty-
rant who sought Your life, WE beg You to look with
compassion upon the multitudes of men, women and
children in our own day who have been forced by
other tyrants as cruel as Herod to seek refuge far
from their homelandS.
YOU WERE REJECTED by those You had come to
save, Who knew poverty and privation throughout
Your like on earth. Who suffered monstrous injustice
at the hands of Your enemies, Who endured the aban.
donment and desolaion of Your last hours on the
Cross, we beseech You to open Your Wounded Heart
and receive there in the millions of Your own follow
erS and friends whose faith in You has brought upon
them the evils of oppression and ill-treatment in many
forms and degrees.
you, OUR LORD NJ SAVIOUR, Who died to
give us the glorious freedom Of the sons of God, COM
fort with divine hope all those who are now deprived
of their human rights, their liberty and security, their
homes and families, and above all, grant them the OPP
portunity to enjoy freely and without fear the supreme
blessings of their holy faith.
INSPIRE IN US WHO have never suffered these
great misfortunes an evercreasing spirit of charity to-
ward our prosecuted brethren throughout the world,
SO that, out of our spiritual resources, our heritage of
religious and political freedom, our material substance,
we may do more and more to brighten their night of
patient hope until the day when, God willing and help
ing they also may know again the Joy of the Peace that
You brought to this world.

began a consideration Of ''the
crisis underway within so
ciety."
Pope John chose to contrast
the confusion and anxiety be-
setting today's world with the
vitality of the Catholic
Church. He said the Church's
role today is to bring "the
modern world in contact with
the vivifying and perennial
energies of the Gospel"
He characterized today US
world as one (which exalts
itself with its conquests in the
technical and scientific fields
but which brings also the con-
sequences Of a temporal order
which some have wished to re-
organize to the exclusion of
God"
THIS Is WHY MODERN
society is earmarked by great
material progress to which
there is no corresponding adj
vance in the moral field" he
said.
This tendency had led to a
weakened interest in spiritual
values, he said, to an almost
exclusive seeking after pleas
