Ohio Seminar Calls for
Dialogue within Church
LOVELAND, Ohio — A group
of Catholic leaders — laymen,
priests and Religious — agreed
here that there is need for em
phasis on dialogue within the
Church has well as between the
Church and other faiths.
This was one of the major con
clusions arising from a five-day
seminar on “The Church and the
World,” held at the U.S. head
quarters of the Grail, international
women’s lay apostolate move
ment.
SOME 50 PERSONS, including
theologians, educators, diocesan
officials, an dleaders of lay or
ganizations, took part in the sem
inar. Father Charles Davis, Eng
lish theologian, author and editor
of the London monthly Clergy
Review, provided a focus for dis
cussion with a series of nine lec
tures.
Emerging fro mthe discussions,
according to Father Gerard Sloy
an, head of the religious education
department at the Catholic Uni
versity of America and immediate
past president of the national
Liturgical Conference, was the
conviction that there is a need for
more free discussion by Catholics
of the issues being weighed by the
bishops at the ecumenical council.
CALLING the seminar “a stim
ulus and a shaping force,” he sug
gested that “things like this need
to be happening around the world
while the council is going on if its
decrees are going to have effect.”
Msgr. Daniel J. Tarrant, chair
man of the Dubuque Archdiocesan
Coordinating Commission for Sa
cred Music, Liturgy, and Art,
echoed Father Sloyan’s opinion.
“It’s a fact of history,” said
Msgr. Tarrant, “that right down
to the 19th and even the 20th cen
tury, the Church was still strug
gling to put the reforms of the
Council of Trent into effect.”
He expressed the fear that with
out dialogue “among the key peo
ple” in each diocese, the present
council may prove to have been
“a grand spectacle.”

of the theology department at Se
ton Hall University, South Orange,
N.J., added the suggestion that
“the dialogue within the Church
needs to be structured” — put
on a formal basis. “The whole
Church should be talking,” he said.
Father Davis also endorsed the
idea of giving new emphasis to
“dialogue within the Church,” and
commented that the present struc
ture of diocese and parish makes
it difficult. An organization as
complex as the Church requires
“a whole series of different
levels,” he said.
THE THEOLOGIAN warned,
however, against “looking to the
council for a blueprint” of parish
reorganization. “I think that in
this area, as in many others, what
we really want from the council
is a great flexibility for develop
ment and experiment,” he de
clared.
AT 97 YEARS, Father Alexis
Clifford McLoughlin is said to be
the oldest living member of the
Society of Jesus. He lives in re
tirement at St. Charles College, a
novitiate at Grand Coteau, La. He
has outlived doctors who, 77 years
ago, said he would not be able to
become a Jesuit because of his
health. (NC Photo)

English in Sacraments
Receives Warm Welcome
BATON ROUGE, La. — (NC)—
Reaction to use of English in
administration of the sacraments
and sacramentals has been pre
dominately favorable, a check-up
throughout the Baton Rouge dio
cese has disclosed.
Although the use of English in
such rites went into effect gener
ally throughout the U.S. only on
Sept. 14, the practice was started
in this diocese on July 13 through
permission of Bishop Robert E.
Tracy.
A sampling of some of the com
ments:
—“I have a deeper understand
ing and greater feeling of personal
participation in the ceremonies.”
—“It’s no longer so much mum
bo-jumbo.”
—“For children, the meaning of

into the fullness of truth and
charity.”
Just as the Second Vatican Coun
cil will balance the First Vatican
Council’s definition of papal pri
macy with a clarification of the
role of the bishops in the uni
versal church, Pope Paul balanced
his own affirmation of the author
ity of the bishops with a forth
right assertion of the pope’s au
thority and of the church’s need
for centralization. He said:
“If our apostolic duty obliges us
to impose restrictions, to define
terms, to prescribe modes of ac
tion, to regulate the methods
religion will be somewhat easier"
—“Now that I know what’s a,
ing on, everything means mud!
more.” *
—“My non-Catholic friends do
not feel so strange now when the!
attend Catholic ceremonies will
me.”
ONE PRIEST made a practice
suggestion regarding confession
He said if the penitent is recitiai
the act of contrition while the
priest is giving absolution, he will
not hear the comforting words of
the ritual. He suggested that tin
act of contrition be recited before
the penitent enters the confession,
al.
Several priests mentioned that
in making sick calls, they observed
a greater appreciation among the
people. The priests said the sick
now are able to respond to thej
prayers in English, while the Latin
version had little meaning for
them.
A number reported that the new
practice has made a great imprej
sion upon non-Catholics, now able
to understand more of the Catholie
ceremonies.
