‘Adeste Fidelis’
One of our earliest carols
is “O Come All Ye Faithful,”
translated from the Latin,
“Adeste Fidelis.” This is said
to have been written by Bona
Ventura, Bishop of Albano,
who was born near Florence
in the Tuscany district of
Central Italy in 1221.
The birthplace of the true
carol was Italy and the orig
inator is said to have been St.
Francis of Assisi. Although
he never wrote a carol him
self, his comrades carried out
his ideas and many frag
ments of carols have been
traced to the Italian monk
writer Jacopone.

cer standout and presently an
instructor in economics, Dudko
took over and ably managed the
team that was fourth in the na
tion in 1966 with a 17-3 slate.
Coach Dudko credited the de
fensive playing of backs Luis
Rodriguez, Gary Lennon and
Tom Dillon with holding down
opponent scoring opportunities.
“Without their excellent de
fense, we could not have had
such a fine season,” he indicated.
Pope Paul Proclaims
Jan. 1 a Day of Peace
Vatican City—Pope Paul
VI has made this coming Jan. 1
a Day of Peace for Catholics and
has urged all men of good will
to celebrate it every year “as if
it were their own initiative.”
Catholics will have “the duty
of observing” the Day of Peace
with “the religious and moral
expressions of the Christian
faith,” the Pope said.
He expressed the hope that
“the exaltation of the ideal of
peace may not favor the coward
ice of those who fear it may be
their duty to give their life for
the service of their own country
and of their own brothers when
these are engaged in the defense
of justice and liberty, and who
seek only a flight from their re
sponsibility.”
AT A PRESS conference ar
ranged by the Holy See, an offi
cial of the Papal Secretariat of
State asserted that this could not
be taken as a condemnation of
conscientious objection. The offi
cial, Msgr. Paul Poupard, referred
to Paragraph 79 of the Pastoral
Constitution on the Church in the
Modern World, which encourages
laws providing for “those who
for reasons of conscience refuse
to bear arms.”
The Pope further declared:
“Peace is not pacifism. It does
not mask a base and slothful
concept of life but it proclaims
.the highest and most univer
sal values of life: truth, justice,
freedom, love.”
MAURICE CARDINAL ROY of
Quebec, president of the Pontifi
cal Commission cm Justice and
Peace, said at the same press con
ference that pacifism “does not
carry the positive element of re
construction.” He said the Pope

“puts us on our guard against a
negative attitude.”
(Msgr. Poupard observed that
“everybody distinguishes be
tween pacifism and conscien
tious objection.”)
The Pope’s exhortations were
contained in a 2,000-word mes- -
sage dated Dec. 8 and made pub
lic one week later, after copies
of it had been sent ito various
international organizations and
heads of state.
The first and somewhat longer
part of the message was ad
dressed “to all men of good will,”
including governments, interna
tional organisms, religious insti
tutions and “youth, whose per
spicacity regarding the new
paths of civilization ... is more
lively.” The second and final part
was addressed to the bishops and
the faithful of the Catholic
Church.
