Pontiff Stresses Peace In Sermon at Fatima Fatima, Portugal — (NC) — Twin themes — peace in the Church and peace in the world —were stressed by Pope Paul VI in his sermon at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. The Pope urged his listeners to pray for peace in both the Church and the world. Without peace, he warned, the conse quences in each case would be grave. Pope Paul preached at the Mass which he offered to mark the 50th anniversary of the ap parition of the Blessed Virgin at Fatima and the 25th anniver sary of the consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. His words were heard by a vast throng here and by an international audience watching and listening via television. The Pope warned of the threat to peace in a world which “has not progressed morally as much as it has scientifically and techni cally” and where “a great part of humanity is still in a state of need and of hunger.” As for the Church, the Pope praised the spirit of renewal awakened among Catholics by the ecumenical council. But he cautioned sternly against “ar bitrary interpretation” which would replace traditional teach ing with “new and peculiar ide ologies.” At the start of his sermon Pope Paul said he wished to in clude “everyone in this spiritual remembrance” — the anniver sary-Mass which he was offering. Among those whom he specif ically mentioned were the hier archy, priests and Religious, Christian families, laymen, young people, and the sick and suffering. “We remember also all Chris tians, non-Catholics but brothers in Baptism,” he continued, “for whom our memento is a prayer of hope for perfect communion in the unity desired by Jesus Christ. “And we extend it to include the whole world, so that our charity has no bounds. And in this moment we extend it to all of humanity, and to all govern ments and to all the people of the earth.’’ Vernacular Approval Given Early to U.S. Vatican City — (NC) — When use of the vernacular in the Canon of the Mass was approved on May 4, it brought the rest of the world abreast of the United States, the Philippines and the Caribbean area, which had received the permission more than a month before. A Vatican instruction, howev er, blocked announcement of the permission until a vernacu lar text was approved. The document of approval was listed among decrees con firming decisions of national bishops’ conferences which ap peared in the April-May issue of Notitiae, the publication of the Holy See’s Consilium for the im plementation of the Second Vat ican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy. Listed as a “general decree,” .1 Editor's Desk “Code Changing, Not Crumb ling” a headline, momentarily stopped Msgr. George E. Lynch, J.C.D., to a stunned stance as he made a short visit to the editor ial office this week. (‘Code’ is common terminology for the sum total of 2414 canons of the Church published in a one vol ume ‘Codex’.) The former chan cellor, and a holder of a doc torate in Canon Law, was “at sea” for a moment when he picked up the exchange copy of a neighboring diocesan weekly from a work table. However, the lead paragraph released his hearty laugh when the story went on to say that a Catholic Youth Day group agreed that the codes of other generations re garding teenage attitudes toward morals and etiquette are not crumbling but changing. The Sanford pastor left the office in a happy frame of mind. The course of events took us to the highways this week with trips to Dunn, Lumberton and Charlotte. Confirmation at Dunn The recent Sunday afternoon drive to Dunn, to assist Father Arthur Duncan, pastor there, with the Confirmation rubrics was almost like a “home com ing” at an eastern Carolina fam ily gathering. The hospitality of the women of the parish through the serving of a delicious mewl was enjoyed by Bishop Wafers, the visiting clergy, parents, rel atives of the youths and the ad ults who were later Confirmed. The cordial relations between Catholics of Harnett, Johnson and Sampson counties is a de light. The new social-educational building of the parish was in good use that day.

After a series of informal dis cussion groups, a resolution was made that in the specific areas in which the decree was ana lyzed, the proposals will be pre sented to the Bishops of the Province for a unified Imple mentation of the Decree for the Southeastern part of the coun try.

An editor’s note summarizing the contents of the Notitiae edi tion said these were “the first concessions regarding the use of the vernacular in the Canon.” Elsewhere in the same edi tion, it is noted that “at the re quest of several bishops’ confer ences, the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI, on Jan. 31, 1967, grant ed the use of vernacular lan guages by way of experiment in the Canon of the Mass and in the conferral of sacred orders (excepting the essential sacra mental formula itself, if a bish See Vernacular, page 5A THIS STATUE of the Blessed Virgin Mary appropriate for inspiration of the tradition al May devotions is found in the cloister garden of the Carmel Convent located north of Durham.
