See Knights Gather, page 3A 'Supreme Patience' is Needed In Liturgy Changes, Bishop Says Altoona, Pa. — (NC) — A bish ip said here that supreme patience s needed by bishops today as they mplement Church renewal, espe ially the changes in the Mass. Speaking of “conflict” over li urgical changes, Bishop Wiliam lonnare of Greensburg, Pa., said that each bishop “must carefully patch barometers of change so that within his own diocese ad justment and accommodation will be orderly and easy for priest and people alike.” Bishop Connare delivered the sermon at the consecration in Blessed Sacrament Cathedral of Most Rev. Urban E. McGrary, r.O.R„ as first bishop of the new Diocese of Bhagalpur, India. THE THIRD ORDER Regular Franciscan, a native of Warren, Pa., went to India in 1939 and was urdained in Ranchi in 1942. He bad been serving since 1956 as Prefect Apostolic of the Prefecture of Bhagalpur which was made a Diocese by Pope Paul VI in Jan-, ttary, 1965. Bishop J. Carroll McCormick of Altoona-Johnstown consecrated the new bishop, whose Franciscan com munity has headquarters at St. Francis Monastery, Loretto, Pa. Coconesecrators were Bishop John King Mussio of Steubenville and Bishop George Leech of Harris burg. IN THE SERMON, Bishop Con nare said that “in these days of aggiornamento within the Church every bishop must be a supremely patient man” and that “nowhere is patience more necessary than m the liturgical adaptation of our day.” . “General principles are clear from the Constitution on the Sa cred Liturgy, and from subsequent instructions of the Holy See the implementation of these principles becomes the awesome responsibil ity of each bishop for his own di °cese,” he noted. “CLEARLY,” he said, “conflict Jhtmt not arise about the relative ; importance of the liturgy of the word over the liturgy of the Eu charist or vice versa. “Conflict was not intended by placing the priest apart from the altar for the execution of the lit urgy of the Word. Concern, not conflict, was the sole purpose of the Church’s action—concern for the mysterious comings of the Lord in His Mass, first in the proclamation of His Word and then in the consecration of the bread and the wine.” y|e\cOttte' HCC 0« *‘io4 ^. Y Gotho*^*, ■ | 50ys By Robert J. Sievers (N.C.W.C. News Service) Peoria, 111. — “While we are not going on a campaign to gain Catho lic members, we welcome them to membership in the National Coun cil of Churches,” Bishop Reuben Meuller, council president, de clared here. In an interview in the First Methodist church, the leader of the Evangelical United Brethren Church pointed to the membership of Catholic parishes in Oklahoma and Michigan and the entire Sante Fe Catholic archdiocese, adding that “any group that believes in Jesus Christ is welcome.” HE DESCRIBED the council as a “union of 30-churches of Protes tant and Eastern Orthodox faith in which voluntarism is carried to the Nth degree.” He stressed THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION was conferred upon 130 children and adults by His Excellency, Bishop McLaughlin, Auxili ary Bishop of Raleigh, on Sunday-, May 2, at 4 pm at Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base Chapel. S/Sgt. Robert Zinn and Mrs. Robert Carsi served as sponsors for the ceremony. Visiting clergy included Rt. Rev. Msgr. Ed ward T. Gilbert, pastor of St. Mary’s Church, Goldsboro; Fr. Raymond Donahue, Msgr. Frances Howard, Havlock; Fr. James Mc Hugh, Fr. James Noonen, Newbern; Fr. Rob ert McMahon, Fr. Paul Turner and Fr. Dub linski, Newton Grove; Fr. Thomas Norton and Fr. Desman Keenan from Wilson. As-r sisting were Rev. Fr. Vincent F. Hart and Rev. Fr. Patrick M. McGowan, base Catho lic chaplains. strongly that he did not speak for all members. A stocky, affable man, Bishop Mueller places himself in the camp favoring dialogue with Catholics, but he speaks of the “insuper ables” of papal infallibility and the Immaculate Conception. Yet he said that “through com munication comes understanding and the possible finding of a way through the difficulty.” BISHOP MUELLER, whose three-year term as president ends in December, 1966, expects to work cooperatively in coming months with Msgr. William Baum, execu tive director of the U.S. Bishops’ Commission for Ecumnical Affairs with whom he has had contact. Two trips around the world have convinced him of a world wide, friendly religious climate. “Com pared to the U.S., ecumenical ac tivity is as far or further along in Germany, Holland, and Britain; it is at its worst in Italy because of curia opposition,” he said. Priest Defends U.S. Intervention In Dominican Republic MARYKNOLL, N.Y. — (NC) — A priest-specialist in Latin Amer ican affairs observed here: “Latin American leaders may complain loudly about the United States ac tion in the Dominican Republic, but they will respect us more be cause of it.” Father Albert J. Nevins, M.M., recently returned from a three month visit to Latin America, said in an interview. “Secretly, Latin American leaders welcome our firmness in the Dominican Repub lic crisis. “Their protests,” he said, “are mainly for internal consumption. Internal difficulties prevent them from being more frank about this matter. “They don’t want to see another Cuba in this hemisphere any more than we do,” said Father Nevins. “They are feeling the power of communist subversion every day from Cuba, and they certainly do not want to see the communists gain control of another base of operations. “But, it is extremely difficult for them to come out and endorse our action. In many Latin Ameri can countries, bear in mind, the communists are very strong in the labor unions and universities. A leader who publicly welcomed our stand in the Dominican Republic might be inviting demonstrations, strikes and riots,” he said. Father Nevins, who served two terms as president of the Catholic Press Association, is editor of Maryknoll magazine. '
