Bonzes are Open Foes of U.S.
Saigon — Political Buddhist
b.onzes (monks) may now be
classed with the armed Viet Cong
communists as open opponents of
the United States in Vietnam.
They claim that they are op
posed only to Ambassador Max
well D. Taylor, not to the U.S.
They claim also that they wish “to
- save the country from the com
munists.”

reject the attempted distinction
between the ambassador personal
ly and his position as representa
tive of the U.S. government. Many
Vietnamese, including Buddhists,
doubt whether these bonzes are
sincere in their passing references
to “winning the war over the com
munists.”
The sincerity of all statements
made by the political bonzes must
be doubted now, even by Ameri
can officials who formerly appear
ed credulous.
In a press conference on Jan.
20, Thich (Venerable) Tam Chau,
a leading bonze, announced that
there would be no violence and
no demonstration by Buddhists.
Yet on Jan. 22, bonzes from his
“institute” headed a large, illegal
demonstration outside the U.S.
embassy. Some of them then led
the crowd that smashed windows
in the U.S. Information Service li
brary. On Jan. 23, part of a crowd
of demonstrators, apparently in
stigated by bonzes, sacked the U.S.
Information Service library in
Hue. On Jan. 25, in the same
city, bonzes were seen in a dem
onstration with youth who carried
anti-government, anti-Taylor ban
ners.
ANTIGOVERNMENT demon
strations were held also in other
towns by bonzes and bonzesses and
by schoolboys acting in concert
with them:
Earlier, on Jan. 15, the official
Buddhist representative on an in
terreligious committee balked at
signing a joint communique abjur
ing illegal demonstrations. He
agreed, however, after much de
lay, to sign a pledge to support
legal forms of struggle. The
other members, including two
Catholic priests, thought that this
implied a rejection of illegal
means. The Buddhist quibble was
made evident a week later, when
hundreds of bonzes defied police
outside the U.S. embassy.
By the afternoon of Jan. 25 the
police in Saigon had arrested 26
bonzes and 8 bonzesses involved
in disturbances. Of the 26 men,
according to an official source, 22
are not bonzes at all though they
wore monks’ robes. They were
unable to recite a standard Bud
dhist prayer and could produce
no identity cards. One has been
identified as a Viet Cong com

Among those arrested are two
Buddhist military chaplains.
THE BUDDHIST CROWD, in
cluding fake bonzes, that had to
be dispersed by tear gas outside
the U.S. embassy was led by the
official spokesman of the Bud
dhist Institute and “Unified Bud
dhist Church,” Thich Nhat Thien.
It was he who presented the let

Holy Father Tells Why
He Named New Cardinals
VATICAN CITY — (NC) —
Pope Paul VI said he has in
creased the membership of the
College of Cardinals not for the
sake of “numerical inflation” but
to meet the “true needs of the
Church” today.
The Pope commented on his
naming 27 new cardinals to raise
membership in the college to a
record 103 at his regular weekly
general audience (Jan. 27).
Noting the speculation that has
followed the appointments, the
Pope said his decision to enlarge
the college stemmed from his de
sire to make more effective and
valuable “in the exercise of our
apostolic office, according to needs
and in various ways, the assistance
of our brothers in the episcopate,
as has already happened and as
can occur more effectively in the
future.”
“Toward this end,” he contin

ued, “our intention is to give to
the Sacred College an expression
of fuller communion and of more
effective representation of author
ity, of collegiality, of experience,
of tradition, of cultures and of
merit. You have seen in this re
gard the variety of qualifications
which distinguish the new mem
bers of the College of Cardinals.
“We tell you this since the Ro
man Church cannot be a closed
fold, immobile, self-centered and
exclusive, but rather should be the
indispensable center of a flock
of Christ, wonderfully character
ized by the complementary nature
of its constitutional parts, unity
and catholicity, authority and
brotherhood, the identity of the
faith in the boundless and vast
breadth of charity.”

and the prayer for peace immedi
ately following the Lord’s Prayer
Regarding the Communion of
the faithful in the Eucharistic
Meal, Father Bugnini asserted: “A
Mass without the communion of
the faithful is like a ring without
its precious stone.”
Turning to the prayer of the
faithful, the Vincentian liturgist
said it will vary from week to
week at the discretion of the cele
brant, but within a format to be
approved by the national body of
bishops. This common prayer is to
be in the vernacular, he observed,
and is intended to express the spe
cial concerns of the community in
which the Mass is being cele
brated.
Father Bugnini said that the
Polyglot Press volume ‘‘is not a
collection of already-prepared mod
els, which would be contrary to
the laws of the prayer of the faith
ful, but is a guide for preparation
Of these models.” Thus the book
will contain seven or eight sam
ples formulated simply to demon
strate the spirit of the format to
be approved by the various bish
ops’ conferences.
IN ADDITION to the new Ordo
Missae with its simplified direc
tions for celebrating the Mass, the
new books include a revised Ky
riale, which contains the chant of
the Ordinary of the Mass, and an
other entitled “Chants Called For
in the Roman Missal.” This latter,
Father Bugnini said, contains a
small selection of melodies to be
used in new forms of the Mass, in
cluding the rite of concelebration,
the prayer of the faithful and oth
er innovations which become ef
fective March 7.
