American unions have
additionally been oppos-
ed to "dual unionism."
They have always main
tanned that there should
be only one union for each
craft or industry and have al
so favored the ideal of a single
trade union federation.
AT TIMES in the history of
the American labor movement
this policy has admittedly
been more honored in the
breach than in the observ-
ance. Nevertheless, 1t remains
the official policy Of all but
a handful of diSsident labor
organizations in the United
States.
In this respect, the point
of view of American unions
differs sharply from that of
the European and Latin Amer.
lean unions affiliated with the
international Confederat j o n
of Christian Unions. Tradition
ally the unions affiliated with
the IFCTU have favored a
plurality of unions as the only
means of safeguarding relig-
ious and theological freedom.
The point of view of the
Christian unions on this mat
ter is stated very succinctly
in an editorial entitled "Trade
Union Pluralisfn'' in the Feb
ruary, 1862 issue of Pueblo,

She gives him that patient

The fact that men and

Volunteer Sunday

This Sunday for the fourth time since he has been
our chief shepherd, Bishop lSsenmann will call upon
the men of the Diocese to volunteer their time and
talent in work of the Diocesan Development Fund
Drive.
THE RECORD of the past drives has been a re-
markable example of the excellent spirit that prevails
In our Diocese which manifeStS itself in the coopera-
ton of laymen and clergy.
However, now that the DDF drive has become an
accepted part of our lives, we must beware lest we be-
come complacent or a%pathetic. Each year we must
plunge into the work with vigor and energy.
That is why Volunteer Sunday is so important. 1t
gives the Bishop and those directing the Drive an idea
of how many will work for their Diocese this year. It
also gives an inkling as to what kind of interest our
people are showing toward the needs of the Church in
1862.
WE WOULD encourage the men of the Diocese
to answer the invitation of the Bishop to volunteer to
work for the Church in the Columbus Diocese. Those
who participate, will be doing the work of Christ, and
although the financial returns of the last three years
have been impressive, they are not the only rewards
of DDF.
Even more enduring has been the note of coopera-
ton and solidarity that has sprung up in every part of
the Diocese. The men who give of themselves have a
real sense of belonging to the Church and have the
satisfaction of knowing they are cooperators with the
Bishop.
The men who have volunteered in the past will
testify that in the long run, it is not what they gave to
the DDF that they found so satisfying, but what they
received CAT

Sum and Substance:
American Catholics Show
Apathy Towards Council
by Fir. John B. Sheerin, esp.
and Substance:

HAVE FOUND a prevail
ing apathy to the Council that
is due almost entirely to a
woeful lack of information
about it. One senses a GER
tain amount of devout curios-
ity about the Council but most
Catholics seem to be timid
about asking questions about
it for fear of revealing their
ignorance.
This Is truly disappointing.
Here it Is the month of March,
the greatest event in Catholic
history this century is only
six months away, and yet few
Catholics have any informa-
ton about it. Whose is the
fault? AS Pope John says
about the religious divisions
of Christianity, let us not try
to affix blame.
l will say however that the
Catholic Press has been adj
mirable in its coverage Of
plans for the coming event.
The diocesan Press has car
ried the ample NCWC re-
leases and the Catholic mag
azines have presented numer-
Gus articles on the council.

A. You will find a series of
articles in the Catholic Times
which will clarity this ques-

Catholic Church the law ex-
cludes marriage. For the ORR

means that even then a priest

Are We indulging in

The brilliant young Swiss
theologian, H a n S Kung,
fears that we may be in for

we peg our hopes too high.
IF IT WERE anyone but
Kung who was offering this
advice we might dismiss II as
a false alarm from a panicky
peSsimist, a fuddyduddy. But
Kung is one of the most rad
ically progressive theologians
in the Church at the present
time.
He looks forward to the
coming Council as to the COM
ing of a new Pentecost. He
sees it Transforming the
Church into such a vision of
unity, truth and charity that
separated Christians will seek
for unity with its Gospel
splendor. When he warns of
