the aggiornamento. He’s intelli
gent, tough, confident, but not
angry with the hierarchy, clergy,
and Church.”
Giambalvo said that, as far as
he knew, there was maximum
freedom for delegates to express
their opinions and that the steer
ing committee and ecclesiastical
committee did not try to con
trol or water down congress
progress.
Commenting on the proposal
to make the Council of the Laity
more representative on a world
' scale, Giambalvo said: “If the
Council of the Laity is to be
come more democratic, it must
be implemented on the national,
diocesan and parish levels. Only
when the democratic processes
are active on the parish, dioce
san and national levels can there
really be democracy on the in
ternational level.”
As a concrete result of the
congress, Giambalvo said he
would exert all his efforts in the
NCCM toward promotion of na
tional congresses of all forms of
the lay movement to promote the
exchange of ideas and programs
of the many diverse groups and
to try to use more effectively
“all these resources.”

The letter said the Church
must also be vitally concerned
about the welfare of those who
are not materially poor. “Their
needs as members of God’s peo

less real. . . .
“But in serving them she must
constantly lead them into the
various areas of human need. . . .
It is precisely in her ability to

cal bishops the right to dispense
from it.
One bishop said he wanted the
right to dispense given only to
national bishops’ conferences.
Many of the speakers grappled
with another aspect of the
Church’s current legislation on
mixed marriages: the require
ment that both the. Catholic and
the non-Catholic party make
promises regarding the preser
vation of the faith and religious
education of the children.
THE MAJORITY of the day’s
speakers agreed with the state
ment of one that the “principle
of the promises should be pre
served, with greater flexibility
in their application. Still, we
must have moral certainty, not
mere presumption.”
However, in answer to a sug
gestion made the previous day
that it would be enough that the
non-Catholic party “at least not
exclude” the Catholic education
of children, one speaker won
dered if this “provided a suffi
cient guarantee of the divine ob
ligation to baptize children in the
Catholic faith.”
