LABOR PRIESTS

PITTSBURGH, (NC}
The recipient of the Diocese
of Pittsburgh's annual Labor
Award here the labor priests
of America for putting flesh
and blood into Catholic So
cial action"
Edwin A. Lahey Washing
ton bureau chief for the
Knight newspapers and a.
specialist in labor reporting,
singled out particularly the
late Msgr. John A. Ryan,
Msgr. George G. Higgins. di-
rector of the Social Action
Department, National Ca
tholic Welfare Conference,
and Father Charles Owen
Rice, Pittsburgh area labor
priest.
PRIESTS SUCH as these
have contributed greatly to
the economic e~nlightment of
the clergy" Lahey comment
ed. IF we had priests like
these in 1848 there perhaps
would have been no Marxist
movement in labor"
Lahey was presented the
Labor Award at a special
Labor Day Mass in st. Paul's
cathedral here. Bishop John
Jr. Wright of Pittsburgh Of
fered the Mass and made the
presentation. More than 1900
representatives of labor were
present.
BISHOP WRIGHT urged
the men to preserve their in

ITS REPORT, ENTITLED
""The Right to Vote" was sub
mitted Sept. 81 to the Presi-
dent and Congress. 1t is the
first in a series of five pre-.
pared by the commission on
five areas of civil rights

ment, housing and admins

ty; Robert G. Storey; Robert
S. Rankin; Spottswood w.
Robinson, III; and Erwin N.
Griswold.
The commission said there
is evidence of voting discrim-
ination in 100 counties of
eight southern states - Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North Car
olina, South Carolina and
Tennessee.
1t said denials of voting
rights occur in three ways:
discriminatory application of
laws setting qualifications for
voters; arbitrary and dis
criminatory" registration pro-
cedures; and threats and in
timidation."
The commission concluded
that the 1857 and 1860 civil
rights acts are useful" but
Limited" for dealing with
the problem.
1t made five recommends
tons for further COMPRESSION
al action

there shall be no interfer.
ence with voting rights "for
any cause except for inability

Commissioners Storey and
Rankin dissenied from this

grounds that the Federal gov.
eminent has sufficient av.

wrong. This is not a static re-

Father is a great defense of

Archbishop Brady said that
In the encyclical the Pope

the world with solutions that
come because men realize
that they form a natural So

that a mature approach to the

pressed in such a formidable
document rather than to quib-

peoples and taken as inspira-

POPE BENEDICT XIV in his
encyclical on Peace and
Christian Reconciliation MAY
Is. 1920 lauded the reign of
peace after World War l.
However, he also said: But
this joy of Our paternal heart
is disturbed by many bitter
anxieties, for if in most places
peace is in some sort estab-
lished and treaties are sign
ed, the germs of former
enmities remain: and you
we'll know -. that there can
be no stable peace or lasting
treaties, though made after
long and difficult negotia'
tons and duly signed, unless
there be a return of mutual
charity to appease hate and
Danish enmity."
POPE Plus X said in a
message aug. 2, 1919 to
Catholics Of the world at the
outbreak of World War /:
while nearly all Europe
is being dragged into the
whirlpool of a most deadly
war We, too, cannot but
be anxious and feel Our soul
rent by the most bitter grief
for the safety and for the
lives of so many citizens, and
so many peoples for whose
welfare We are supremacy
solicitious.
Therefore, We do exhort
the Cat holics of the whole
world to turn to His
throne of grace and mercy,
and let the clergy lead the
way by appointing special
prayers in their respective
parishes that God may
me vode to pity and may re-
move as soon as possible the
disastrous torch of war and
inspire the supreme rulers
of the nations with thoughts
of peace and not of afflic.

First
Delegates To
Unity Meet

VATICAN CITY For
the first time in history
the Church will send of
fetal observers to a meet
ing of the non-C Catholic
World Council Of Churches.
FIVE CATHOLICS have been
named to attend the New
Delhi, India, general assembly
of the council November Ii
to December 6. They were
picked by the Vatican's Prep
aratory Secretariat for Pro-
noting Christian Unity. A US.
priest and a Dutch layman are
included.
Although Catholic priests
and laymen have attended
meetings of the World Coun-
ell of Churches, the appoint.
ment of observers by a c en-
trail Church office in Rome
marks a departure from the
former private" representa-
ton of the Church at such
non-C Catholic meetings.
WORD OF THE appoint
ments as confirmed here by
the Vatican secretariat, which
was established last year by
by Pope John XIII to keep
non-C Catholics informed on the
work of the forthcoming Sec
ond Vatican Council, The
news was first given out at
the World Councils Geneva,
Switzerland, headquarters by
DR.. W. A. Wiser t II ooft, the
secretary general.
The observers are Father
Edward j. Duff, 81. director
of the Institute of Social Or
der at st. Louis University.
Jan Groot of the Neither
lands, Father M. J. LIE Gull
lou, O.P., of France. and two
priests from India whose
names will be announced later.
The latter we're picked be-
cause of the site at New Delhi.
A SEcRETARIAT spokes-
man said the appointments
were made because the results
of the World Council assem-
bly, sessions could be of in
terest to the various commits
sions readying the Vatican
Council. He stressed that the
Catholic observers would stay
on the sidelines and mot be
entitled to speak or to vote"
thus following the assembly's
rules.

his summer villa here Sept.
81 addressed his words es-
pecially to a group of persons
participating in a study course
OH the place of women in the
professional world. The course
was sponsored by Milan's
Catholic University Of the
Sacred heart.
Pope John stated that 1.-The
dynamic rhythm of technical
and social evolution of the
past so years has had the eff
feet of taking woman outside
the home and placing her in
direct contact with public
life"
THE POPE went on to
make three points concern
ing this phenomenon. The
first was that d woman's pro-
fession may not prescind
from the incontestable char
acteristics with which the
Creator has stamped her"
Enlarging on this point, the
Pope said: 1.-THE Creator has
given women gifts, inclina-
tions and natural dispositions
which are specifically theirs
and are different from those
given men"
He said that to fail to dis
tinguish this diversity be-
tween the respective func-
lions of men and women, as
well as their necessary com
plementarineSs, would be to
go against nature and would
result in debasing woman
and destroying the true foun-
dation of her dignity"
SECONDLY, the Pope warm
ed that one should never lose
sight of the maternal nature
of women. In giving work to
a woman, he said, at is nee
essary that she finds in the
exercise of her profession a
means for developing ever
further a maternal spirit"
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-09-15

rents TO war.
"We call upon the rulers
of nations to face squarely
the tremendous responsible
ties they bear before the
tribunal of history" he stat
ed, land what is more before
the judgment seat of God,
and We entreat them not to
fall victims to false and de-
ceiving provocations."
at is truly upon wise men,"
he said, "that the issue de-
ponds: that force shall not
prevail, but right, through
free and sincere negotiations;
that truth and justice shall be
vindicated by safeguarding
the essential liberties and the
insuppressible values of every
nation and of every human
person."
Pope Plus XII made a SINH
lar plea in a radio message
on August "a, 1899, a few
days before Germany declar.
ed war on Poland.
SIT is by force of reason,
and not by force of arms" he
stated, that justice makes
progress. Stat esmanShip
emancipated from morality
betrays those very ones who
would have it so. The danger
is imminent, but there is yet
time. Nothing is lost with
peace, all may be lost with
war.
Let men return to mutual
understanding. Let them be-
gin with negotiations anew,
comforting with good will and
with respect for reciprocal
rights. They will feel a
sense of greatness in the true
sense of the word if, by
silencing the voices of pas
sion and by leaving TO
reason its rightful rule, they
will have spared the blood
of their fellow men and saw
ed their countries from ruin"
In a papal bull dated
May %, 1924. Pope Plus XI
urged that "the immoderate
and unjust desires of the ma
tions be curbed according to
the precepts of the Gospel,
and that men reunite them
selves in divine charity"
NEVER" HE SAID, "can
this habit Of brotherly love
among the peoples be restor-
ed, never can there be lasting
peace, unless that charity -
too long extinguished, indeed
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-09-15

He said woman best employ
their natural talents in such
fields as teaching and social
welfare and in the religious
and apostolic sphereSe, thus
Transforming their occupa-
lions into many forms of
spiritual motherhood"
Last, the Pope asserted
that 1T is always necessary
to bear we'll in mind the par
ticular needs of the family,
which constitutes for woman
the main center of her actiyi-
ties and in which her presence
is indispensable"
POPE JOHN said that, I'M
fortunately, women often must
leave their homes to help
earn money. He urged that
workers be paid sufficient
wages so that wives and moth
ers may again be permitted
to fill their proper places in
their homes.
The Pope concluded his
talk by saying that because
the present day social struc-
ture leaves much to be de-
sired in terms of working
women, it is urgent ito seek
new solutions so as to achieve
an order and balance more
suitable to the human and
Christian dignity of women"
At the same time, the Pope
asserted that Catholic women
must take part in the devel-
opment of the social and civil
life of today, and that their
duties in these fields are
not s. as in the past, confined
within the narrow area of
family life Woman no
less than man, is needed for
social progress, especially in
all these fields that require
sensitivity. delicacy and ma
ternal intuition.
