Latin American Bishops
Thank Catholics in U.S.
Thenn Mar Del Plate, Argen
tina — The Bishops of Latin
America have addressed a letter
to the Bishops and Faithful of
the United States expressing
their gratitude for the respon
sible way in which they have
assisted in the problems of
Latin America.
“Your declaration of solidar
ity constitutes without question
a testimony of our friendship
Bishop Deplores
Those Giving
Without Love
BOSTON — (NC) — “Aid
without knowledge and without
love hurts him who gives and
him who receives,” the keynote
speaker told some 600 persons
at the opening here of the fourth
annual national conference of
the Catholic Inter-American Co
operation Program (CICOP).
Bishop Mark G. McGrath of
Santiago de Veraguas, Panama,
cautioned North and Latin
American participants in the
conference against such aid and
pointed to CICOP as a means
for developing the mutual un
derstanding and love on which,
he said, all aid should be based.
Tracing the work of CICOP
since its launching in 1963 by
the U.S. Bishops’ Committee for
I n t e r-American Cooperation,
Bishop McGrath emphasized that
the organization’s “message is
not a sales talk, not an appeal,
but an effort to make Latin
America known” in North
America.
“Ignorance and indifference”
concerning Latin America must
be eradicated, he said, before
true cooperation is possible.
CICOP is attempting to do that
job, he emphasized, rather than
to assume any of the planning
and programming functions of
other organizations.

and unity,” the letter states. It
declares that . .the Church to
day has to be a bond of unity
among all Christians” and “what
we in Latin America now receive
we will soon be able to give. ...”
An appropriation of $30,000
from the 1966 U.S. bishops’ na
tional collection for Latin Amer
ica has been made available for
use in a pastoral program de
signed to aid one-third of the
people of Chile.
The Latin America Bureau, Na
tional Conference of Catholic
Bishops, announced the $30,000
program will be administered by
Haul Cardinal Silva of Santiago,
Chile.
It has been estimated the pro
gram will affect some 3,100,000
persons residing in the Santiago
area. The program of religious
renewal, it was reported, was
necessitated by the acute short
age of priests in Chile, where
there is one priest to each 3,135
Catholics.
Workers Double
Since Appeal
Made by Pope
SAN FRANCISCO — (NC) —
United States Catholics serving
the Church in Latin America
have more than doubled since
the 1960 papal plea for in
creased aid to the Church in
Latin American countries.
The increase from 2,405 to
5,116 was reported to Pope Paul
VI by Archbishop Joseph T.
McGucken of San Francisco,
chairman of the committee for
religious personnel of the U.S.
Bishops Committee on Latin
America.
“We are happy to report sub
stantial progress to Your Holi
ness,” Archbishop McGucken
wrote to the Pope. “The most
reverend Ordinaries of the di
oceses of the United States, as
well as the major superiors of
the religious communities recog
nize the gravity of the respon
sibility placed upon them to an

Bishop Discusses
Freedom, Authority
WASHINGTON — (NC) — A
bishop said here conflict between
freedom and authority causes
frightening situations.
The problem perplexes courts,
concerns theologians and philos
ophers, agitates universities and
social institutions, Auxiliary
Bishop George H. Guilfoyle of
New York declared.
Preaching at the annual Red
Mass for lawyers in St. Mat
thew’s cathedral here, Bishop
Guilfoyle said whatever the prop
er roles of freedom and author
ity, there must be boundaries.
Archbishop Patrick A. O’Boyle
presided at the Mass which was
offered by Auxiliary Bishop
John S. Spence of Washington.
The Second Vatican Council,
Bishop Guilfoyle stated,
“stressed freedom — the indi
vidual freedom vital to each
man’s person and dignity.
“IT IS in freedom,” he said,
“that man properly directs him
self toward goodness.”
“Indeed,” he added, “authen
tic freedom is an exceptional
sign of the divine image with
in man.”
“In recent years,” Bishop
Guilfoyle told jurists, diplomats,
lawyers and government offi
cials at the Mass, “increasing
stress has been placed on the
exalted dignity of the human
person —every human person.”
“This heightened awareness of
man’s dignity is evident in the
courtroom and in the legislative
chamber as it was in the deliber
ations of the council,” the bish
op said.
“AND YET the individual
man is not an island. Man is,
by his very nature, a social be
ing, forming with all other men
one human family.
“In this family God wills that
one person treat another in a
spirit of true brotherhood. The
dignity and the rights of each
human person have become
daily more evident and their ful
fillment more urgent, but so also
has human interdependence.
"Acceptance of human inter
dependence, in the spirit of i
brotherly love,” the bishop de
clared, ‘‘is the hope and need of
mankind in our time.”
BISHOP GUDLFOYLE said
“the central thoughts of the Sec
ond Vatican Council have special
pertinence not only for you who
are members of the bench and
bar, but for those of you whose
responsibility it is to enact and
administer our laws. . . .”
