Ge n Labor Union Leaders Live In Monastery to Study Catholic Social Teachings V By Fr. Placid Jordan COLOGNE, Germany —- To learn more about Catholic so cial teachings, groups of German labor union leaders are study ing and living at the nearby Dominican monastery in Walberberg. They are doing so under an agreement made between the mon astery and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation of Bergneustadt, which is affiliated with the German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB). The project was initiat ed by DGB headquarters in Dues seldorf, which has jurisdiction over the heavily industrialized state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The headquarters president, Will Haferkamp, explained the project at a press conference. La bor leaders, he said, ought to ac quaint themselves with the vari ous social and economic theories presented by different groups, in cluding the Christian churches, both Catholic and Protestant. Accordingly, he went on, ar rangements have been made whereby groups of 25 union lead ers, regardless of religious affilia tion, are to be given an opportun ity over a two-year period to at tend seminars and workshops which will give them a knowl edge of present-day social theories. Three weeks at a time are al lotted for visits to various insti tutions, among them the Domini can monastery of Walberberg. There the labor leaders hear lec tures by the Fathers, are invited to participate in discussion groups and private conversations and fol low a special study program. “We get along with the monks beautifully, said one member of these groups who has just return ed from Walberberg. We never thought there could be such a meeting of minds between us so cialists and the monks.” The Dominicans are always free to help choose the topics for dis cussion, and to assign those mem bers of the community who are (Continued on Page 8) WORLD CONGRESS OF LAY APOSTOLATE WILL DEFINE DUTIES ROME (NC)—The Second World Congress of the Lay Apos tolate is expected to change gen eral thinking on a world scale re garding the layman’s role in the Church’s divine mandate to teach all nations. The thinking will be nothing new as far as basic Catholic teach ings are concerned, but organizers of the congress believe that it will contribute effectively to defining the responsibilities of Catholics in modern society. Vittorino Veronese, secretary general of the Permanent Com mittee for International Congress es of the Lay Apostolate, told the N.C.W.C. News Service in an exclusive interview that he hoped this definition of the Catholic lay man’s responsibilities would be one of the greatest fruits of the con gress. There has been too much de scribing of the limits of the re sponsibilities of the clergy and of the laity, he said. There should be, instead, a positive approach: that is, what the layman can and should do, and how clergy and laity can work together. A discourse of His Holiness Pope Pius XII to members of the con gress, is expected to treat this prob lem exhaustively. One of the more important as pects of the congress, according to Mr. Veronese, will be the par ticipation of the African and Asian delegations. Teachers Institute Will Be Held In Charlotte Oct 11 GOLDSBORO — The Institute for Catholic Teachers in the Dio cese of Raleigh will be held at St. Ann’s School, Charlotte, on Fri day, October 11, according to an announcement by Msgr.

Angelo Dell’Acqua, Vatican Substitute Secretary of State, writing on be half of His Holiness Pope Pius XII, stressed the obligation of the press to serve truth. More than 400 Catholic journal ists from 30 countries assembled here to discuss the role of Catho lic publications under the theme of “The Catholic press in the Church and in the world.” The Vatican letter specifically denounced “lack of objectivity shown by inflating an event out of proportion” or “reducing it to a simple news item without any re spect for its real value for the sole purpose of attracting or de lighting the reader.” It also deplor ed the “dishonesty of those who cut a communique or an agency dispatch to the point of denatur ing it” or who “accept only that news which supports their own positions and suppress other news in a veritable conspiracy of si lence.” Even worse, the letter said, are those “who accompany infor mation with tendentious commen taries and malevolent supposi tions.” “Public opinion suffers by be ing betrayed by those who should serve it,” the letter continued. The public wishes to be informed, not tricked, it said.
