Bishops of U.S. Begin National Renewal Period CHICAGO — (NC) — In their closing session here,, the National Conference of Cath olic Bishops unanimously re affirmed “clearly and strongly the explicit teaching of the Vatican Council on the current and traditional observance of clerical celibacy.” Meeting on April 13 as the United States Catholic Confer ence, the bishops approved an informational program on abor tion, to be conducted by its Family Life Bureau. In other actions the bishops: —Created a Committee on Pastoral Research and Practices. One of its first functions will be a study in depth on the role and life of the priest in American society. —Formed a committee on higher education, to assure proper communication between representatives of Catholic higher education and the Na tional Conference of Catholic Bishops. —Issued a statement signal izing the opening of the year of faith proclaimed by Pope Paul VI. —Heard a statement on the role of the priest in the modern world, prepared by the Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, which was later released to the press. —Heard reports on distribu tion and utilization of priests, and on priests’ retirement and health benefits. —As the U.S. Catholic Confer ence, approved a management study of U.S.C.C. finances, ad ministration, objectives and pro cedures. —In a preliminary advisory vote (approximately 6 to 1) ap proved the general tenor of the proposed English translation of the Canon of the Mass. —Heard reports on World Communications Day, the New man Apostolate, and Catholic Relief Services. Pastoral Committee Auxiliary Bishop of Boston proposed that the pastoral com mittee’s first study be one in depth on the role and life of the priest in American society. The study would consider priestly formation, income, distribution of clergy, seminary studies, par ish structure, celibacy, the mis Editor's Desk ■ A copy of the “New York Daily News” came our way this week and in its featured col umn “the inquiring photogra pher” the question was asked of six fish dealers at the famed Fulton Street Market, “How much has your business suffered because Catholics can now eat meat on Friday?” “Insignificant change,” said the head of a wholesale fish firm, “Seems most of the Cath olics have switched to eating meat on some other day of the week.” Another manager says, “As near as I can make out, the Quotes Pope as Saying U.S. Image Is Damaged ATLANTA, Ga. — (NC) — Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey said here that Pope Paul VI, “with tears in his eyes,” told him that the moral power of the United States is being damaged “by the way America is interpreted to the world." He disclosed this in an address to the National Convention of Jewish Women. He told the 1,000 women present that “the world is getting a black picture of us.” On his recent trip to Europe, during which he met with the Pope, the Vice President said he found a distorted picture of this country through television ac counts of the war in Vietnam and crime at home. “Every day, bombs dropping, riots taking place, crime, corrup tion — that’s what some people think is news,” the Vice Presi dent said. He added: “I’ve been wanting to get this off my chest.” The Vice President said the U.S. “needs to tell the world of the lives it is saving.” He said: “We need to be known as a na tion of peacemakers, not just peace-marchers.” decline is about 10 percent.”. Lumping the answers it would seem that the fish industry around New York is not in any pretty kettle of its own wares. But we wonder about our own East Coast Carolina menhadan fleet. After all fishing is not only a big sport but a thriving industry along the Tarheel coast. It seems that they too are not seriously affected by our new dietary regulations. Flounder, red snapper and bass may be a part of our preferred diet but mullet, croaker and smelts . are not. We have been in JKnglehard only once twenty years ago when we stopped at the port of this mullet fleet with our pas tor, the late Monsignor Erwin. His platter of mullet was eaten with great relish but for our selves no amount of squeezed lemon wedges could kill the oily taste. He said he like smelts for breakfast and croaker any time. At this date we may assume that the fish worries of the Wall Street Journal can be limited as to the type of wrappings used at the fish market nearby. As for our coastal fleets’ financial security it seems most rectory cooks are sticking to menus of canned tuna. “It’s easiest to fix,” says Grade. Fire destroyed school and par ish hall at Newton Grove reports See Editor’s Desk, page 2A sion needs of Latin America, and “the third world.” The study was seen as research in depth on the full life and apostolate of the priest in the modern world. The statement on the Year of Faith said that “the bishops of the United States welcome wholeheartedly the recent ex hortation of the Holy Father, in viting all Catholics to commem orate the 1,900th anniversary of the martyrdom of SS. Peter and Paul. It added that the bishops “join in complete solidarity with the successor of St. Peter in in viting the people committed to our pastoral care to celebrate See Bishops, page 8A Alabamians Oppose Defying of Court MOBILE, Ala. — More than 400 Alabama citizens here signed a statement expressing "dismay” at Gov. Lurleen Wallace’s recent speech calling for state defiance of federal court ordered school desegregation. Among the signers were many Catholic clergymen, Religious and lay leaders, including representa tives of the Society of Jesus, the Josephite Fathers, the Sisters of Loretto and the Dominican Sis ters. The statement appeared as “A Note to Our Fellow Citizens” in an advertisement in the Mobile Register. Diocesan Priests To Hold Meetings Greensboro — Forty priests of the diocese met here last week and formulated a plan for reg ular meetings at stated intervals for informative pastoral admin istration updating and a study of theological developments. The Rev. H. Charles Mulhol land was asked to arrange the next meeting which will be held in this area on May 23. A com mittee will be formed to provide continuity for future meetings as three or four of them are planned during the year. The discussion centered on the need of the practical aspects of exchanging information on items of pastoral administration, coun seling and home study. An effort will be made to publish the minutes in order that all clergy - in the wide area of the state may keep informed with the program and encouraged attendance. The next meeting has for an agenda a discussion in which these points may be organized to foster a more general partici pation in the matters of the meeting. Maintaining that racism was “the underlying issue” in the controversy, the statements de scribed the state’s dual school system as “unjust and unequal,” and invited other citizens to join the signers in working “for jus tice now.” Described as “members of the Mobile community,” the signers said they “join with others to express our dismay at the speech of Gov. Lurleen Wallace deliv ered to the Alabama Legislature on Thursday evening, March 30.” Attacked Ruling The governor’s speech was a strong attack on the ruling. She suggested the possibility of in terposing state police power be tween federal court demands and public schools affected by the ruling. "We are deeply disturbed,” the citizens’ statement added, “at speeches in our state Legis lature since that time which in dicate an unwillingness to allow employes of state institutions and students of state schools to express themselves as citizens or to voice their concern for their state. This strikes at the base of individual freedom.” The statement charged that racism “has crucified this state for many years. “Current statements from Montgomery,” it continued, “paint a dim picture of the fu ture of Alabama. Equality Denied “In public education we have denied equal opportunity for all our children by maintaining an unrest and unequal dual system of schools. Second-class education victimizes not only those directly subjected to it, but all the citi zens of our state. In the name of protecting our children, we are all being misled, and our chil dren shall suffer the conse quences of continued inadequate education. “We, as a people must decide See Alabama, page 2A AT CHICAGO CONFERENCE — Bishop Vincent S.
