A GROUP OF CYO and Junior CDA delegates are shown here as they boarded a charter bus in Greensboro November 13 on the first leg of their trip to the National CYO convention in New York City. Bus route included a stop in Washington, D. C. where the group attended Mass at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and were conducted on a tour of the Shrine. Among the 37 delegates and adults in the group, twelve parishes of the Diocese were repre sented. In the group above are Father Robert Shea of Lexington, Father Ralph Monk of Char lotte, and Mrs. W. O. Allen of Greensboro. Council Fathers Split on Schema Continued from page 1A is used in a sense given to it by Protestant authors. He also noted that too much emphasis was given to discussion of the Jews and Prot estants and not enough to the Orthodox, who he said are more friendly and more open to con version. Coptic Rite Patriarch Stephanos I joined Cardinal Tappouni in say ing that “a whole chapter devoted to the Jews is completely out of place in a discussion of Christian unity.” For the rest, he declared that a statement on anti-semitism was unnecessary since the Church has already indicated its position on that score. Contrarily, Father Gregory Baum, A.A., council expert from Toronto, said at the U.S. Bishops’ press panel that there were three reasons why it is proper to speak of the Jews: • The roots of the Church are in Israel. To understand the mystery of the Church reference has to be made to Israel. • The division between those Israelites who accepted Christ as the Messiah and those who did not, is a symbol of all subsequent di ‘LILIES’ WINS AWARD Los Angeles — (NC) — Pro ducer-director Ralph Nelson will receive an award from the Los Angeles unit of the National Cath olic Theater Conference for his widely acclaimed film “Lillies of the Field.” If You Wont... customer good will Employee incentive increased sales more political votes Dial 484-4111 For A Complete List of Advertising Giveaways Achievement Awards Executive gifts calendars—pens Book matches—ash trays 76,000 items to choose from .. .

Joseph Cardinal Ritter of St. Louis was one of those in favor of the contents of the schema, noting that the practical conse quences of the updating for which this council was called are ex plained by the schema on ecumen ism. He said: “The presentation of this text marks the end of the counter- Reformation, and it obliges us to make a thorough examination of conscience. Like wise it puts us under obligation to hasten the desirable day of unity by fervent prayer, example and study. “We are happy to hear that chap ter V will deal with religious liber ty. Without a declaration of this kind by the council there can be no mutual discussion and the door will be closed to any real dialogue with those outside the Church.” Predicting a lengthy discussion on this schema one could forecast that this current session, with only a dozen more working days, would probably end on the topic of ecu menism.

Erroneous Philosophies Continued from page 1A communal facilities, even in the most obvious area of democratic suffrage.” THE PROPER APPROACH to the race issue, they said, “is to treat all men and women as per sons, without reference to patterns of difference.” “Unless the Declaration of Inde pendence is taken to mean what it says about inalienable rights and their divine origin; unless the sa lute to the flag including Lincoln’s phrase ‘under God,’ is uttered with out tongue in cheek; unless the plain intent of the Constitution is wholeheartedly endorsed — any talk of ‘law and order’ is worse than poor policy; it is hypocrisy,” they said. Despite this outlook, the Bishops expressed confidence that the situ ation will brighten. “Even these problems of our republic can be bonds of union. They are faced by all Americans; their solution is our mutual burden,” they said. “Men of good will are finding that they must work together to stem the march toward secularism. Reaction against materialism may, please God, result in a renewed commitment to spiritual values, turning our search for wealth into a vocation of service,” they said. As for the “sad controversy over civil rights,” the Bishops said that the desire for a more perfect union “can yet rally the moral energies of the nation to complete TELEGRAM Sympathy and prayers from Rome for Father Thomas Roche.

Waters Bishop of Raleigh the ‘unfinished business’ of the Emancipation Proclamation by full recognition of all their rights for millions of our fellow citizens of the Negro race.” THE PRELATES also discussed the courts, saying that while tri bunals must be vigilant to protect justice, “the people must be vigi lant too, lest the courts . . . annul the original determination that ours be a government of laws, not of men.” “Our courts must see,” the Bishops said, “that the law of the land is so interpreted as to be free from undue influence of par ticular schools of thought. “It has best served the American tradition when the law reflects a community consensus or common understanding of what is best to achieve the common ends of jus tice.” The Bishops expressed gratitude for worldwide interest in the coun cil proceedings. “In these days so full of historic importance, we have gratefully noted the prayers and the cordial expressions of good will toward the council and the Church from Americans of every faith,” they said. The statement also includes praise for American recognition of the right of conscience and notes how this respect parallels the words of the late Pope John XXIII on the subject. “The recognition of the right of conscience has been basic to our civil traditions,” the Bishops said. “Citizens have found in this a bond of union and the favor of the law in countless cases. No personal right has been so fiercely defend ed by public authority and so gen erously construed in court. “The tradition of our nations corresponds with the words of Pope John XXIII: ‘Every human being has the right to honor God according to the dictates of an up right conscience and, therefore, the right to worship God privately and publicly.’ ” WALLER STUDIO Specializing in: Children, Family Group Portraits Announcement Portraits Candid shots of Weddings & Parties 126% Fayetteville St. Raleigh, N.C.
