HELENA, Mont NC
A top authority on U. S.
Catholic Church history
warned here "of symp-
toms that suggest an anti
clerical sentiment hitherto
unknown to American Cath
olics" spreading within the
ranks of "the strongest laity
within the universal Church"
MSCR. John TRACY FL
LIS, professor of Church his
tory at the Catholic Universe
tv of America, Washington,
DC, suggested four of "the
most effective weapons with
. which to combat anti-clerical-
ISM"
First, the exercise by both
clergy and laity of extreme
sensitivity and forebearance
in their relations to each
other SO that nothing be said
or done that may exasperate
or give cause for needless ir-
ritation OF offense." The
Mcnsignor warned particular
1y against public statements
which by harshness of tone or
lack of sympathy are likely
to wound the feelings of
others.
SECONDLY, a steady and
deliberate opening UP of new

channels for apostolic action
to the layman such, for ex-
ample, as has taken place in
the Archdiocese of Montreal
where the entire school board
has been given over to lay
men and in the Diocese of
Providence R.I.) where seven
out of II members of the did,
cesar school board are lay
men"
Thirdly, / think of the
Catholic press as an area
which is peculiarly fitted
for the laymen and where a
number of lay journalists
have clearly proven that they
not only can conduct a Cathe-
lie newspaper with high salts
faction but. perhaps, can do
it better than the priest by
reason of their technical train
ing and the total dedication
they bring to the task which
the priest is denied because
of his simultaneous commit
ment to other responsible
ties"
"And last, but by no means
the least, are the varied good
works of the National Coun-
Gil of Catholic Men and the
National Council of Catholic
Women which for approx
mately 40 years have been

The Monsignor recalled that
Pope Plus told the clergy to

ing enterprises to them and
welcoming with good will the
enterprises which they sug-
gest, approving them in a
broadminded way according
to their opportuness."

Catholicism of our day, a fac

increasing Importance in the

has, indeed, already had a
major share in accelerating

He added: with this factor

the court. No mandatory ster-
ilization law exists in Ohio.
Legal theorists say the equity
power of a court is its right
to act for what it considers
the general good in areas
where there is no specific
law.
Challenging Judge Gary's
Interpretation, Corrigan con-
ten led that in the absence of
a law specifically permitting
sterilization and establish
ing safeguards, no judge has
the right to order such an
operation any more than he
has the right to order cutting
off the hands of a habitual
thief.
He conceded that the
courts equity powers are
broad, but added: 'Those
powers are not without limi-
tations."
