Bishops Given Dioceses Washington — Pope Paul VI has made the fol lowing appointments in the hierarchy of the United States: „ Most Rev. James J. Sweeney, resigned as the bishop of Honolulu. Bishop John J. Scanlan, administrator of the See succeeds as the Ordinary of Honolulu. Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Mardaga of Balti more is named the bishop of Wilmington, Del. Bishop Mardaga, a native of Baltimore was or dained May 14, 1940 and consecrated last year. Defends Dutch Catholics London — A Dutch bishop said here that he is “often shocked by the sensational news items, half-truths and distorted stories” about the Church in the Netherlands. The Bishop of Haarlem told a meeting of the clergy: “There is no doubt a strong desire for greater authority of the local church which means greater decentralization, quite in accordance with the dogmatic constitution of Vatican II on the Church and with the decree on the pastoral office of the bishops. The aim of the Church in the Netherlands, he said, is to “dare to accept that God has everything to do with our human life” and to “meet Him in human signs.” He denied that the Church in the Netherlands is on the verge of schism. In his country, he said, the percentage of Catholics who attend Sunday Mass is 65. Masonic Relations Studied Vatican City — Press reports indicating that the Holy See was lifting the ban barring Catholics from belonging to the Masons have brought no official reaction from the Vatican. However, the possibility of a change in attitude in the future was considered possible. However, it was learned that the Church’s traditional attitude is being restudied by the Doc trinal Congregation in a more favorable light, due to historical changes. It is considered possible that relations between the Church and Masonry could be more favorably viewed in those cases and in those countries where relations are no longer strained by traditional hostility. Warns Deforming Gospel Vatican City — Pope Paul VI has sent a let ter to French Catholic intellectuals meeting in Paris encouraging new studies in philosophy and theology but warning against deforming the message of sal vation. The letter encouraged legitimate studies but warned against inconsiderate disturbances of the Christian people by advancing hypotheses which could mislead persons not sufficiently familiar with the subject under study. “It is then urgent to repeat our faith in Christ the Savior in such a way as to reach the con temporary mentality by means of legitimate psycho logical, philosophical and theological studies, with out, however, deforming the message of salvation, but rather by illuminating it.” K o?

Try Experimental Project Fueblo, Uoio. — xnree bisters oi unaruy ana one Sister of Mercy of the Union are starting an experimental living unit in a rented house here. Three of the Sisters work at St. Mary-Corwin hospital here. The fourth is a first grade teacher. They will continue with their regular occupations and receive the regular Sister’s salary of $100 to $125 a month.

They will wear religious habits and will say the prayers ordinarily required of them, but they will not at tempt to follow their normal convent schedules.

New Immigration Rules Washington — Anticipating a storm of protests from nationality groups which have enjoyed virtual ly come-when-you-please immigration to this coun try for years, a top Catholic immigration authority explained new regulations on first-come-first-served immigration which will be effective July 1. John E. McCarthy, director, Immigration De partment, United States Catholic Conference, said the 1920s immigration to the U.S. was controlled by the national origins quota system, by which a person’s opportunity to come to this country was determined by the country of his birth. 100% Parish A fourth total parish sub scription to the North Carolina Catholic was received from St. Alphonsus Church in Wilson of which the Rev.

Man Can Find In Church Destiny; Human, Spiritual Vatican City — Pope Paul VI resumed his weekly general au diences March 13, after skipping one week while on retreat, and told the thousands present that it is in the Church that man can find a destiny that is “human and superhuman at one and the same time.” The Pope began his talk by speaking of St Peter’s basilica, where the audience was held, and of its significance both as a structure and as a symbol of the unity of the family of Chris tians. He said: “Everyone in the Church — we are always mov ing from the sensible sign of the Church, the material con struction, to the spiritual sig nificance of the Church as a community of believers — is the object of love. One of the first formal ac-" tions of the association was to inform all the clergy of the dio cese of the groups formation and the purposes which pro moted the action. The letter an nouncing the formation of the North Carolina Priests Associa tion was sent by the Reverend Cranor F. Graves, elected vice president and secretary pro tem. The Reverend H. Charles Mul holland was elected president. In his letter to the Bishops and priests, Father Graves said that the group agreed that this 'asso ciation is a brotherhood and fel lowship of the presbyterate, diocesan and religious priests who freely and responsibly col laborate in the common pur- , pose of advancing collectively, personally and professionally, the human and spiritual fulfill ment of all priests. A five point objective was the sum purpose of the foundation of the associa tion. To evidence unity; to form a closer fraternal relationship and communication; to provide, an expression for the thought of the group; and to share the re sponsibilities of the pastoral office and Christian leadership, were accepted by vote. The association affiliated with the National Federation of Priests’ Councils. Representatives from deaner ies were elected to serve on an advisory board. The second meeting will be held on April 29 at the Holiday Inn here. OUR LADY OF THE HILLS CAMS’ tut | r» hu §j * In the f J “= ?i HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.
