I Feb. 6, 1961 Prior to givii^ the general regulations on fast and absti­
nence for the Archdiocese of Denver, special attention is di­ rected to the following items:
1. Holy Saturday, April 1, 1961, is only a day of fast, not abstinence.
2. December 23, 1961, (not December 24) is a day of fast and c o n ^ t e abstinence. . LENTEN REGULATIONS (IN FAST AND ABSTINENCE
To foster the spirit of penance and of reparation fod sin, to encourage self-denial and mortification, and to guide her children in the footsteps of Our Divine Savior, H o^ Mother Church imposes hy law the observance of fast and abstinence.
In accordance with the provisions of Canon Law, as Thodi- fied through the use of s p e ^ faculties granted by the Holy See, we herewith puMlsh the following regulations:
dN ABSTINENCE Everyone over seven years of age is bound to observe the
law of abstinence. Complete abstinence is to be observed on Fridays, Ash
Wednesday, and the IHgil of the Immaculate Conception, and Dec. 23, 1961. On days of complete abstinence, meat or soup, or gravy made from meat, may not be used at all.
Partial abstinence is to be observed on Ember Wednes­ days and Saturdays, and on the Vigil of Pentecost On days of partial abstinence, meat and soup, or gravy made from meat, may be taken only once a day at the principal meal.
ON FAST Everyone over 21 and under 99 years of age is also bound
to observe the law of fast. The days of fast are the week days of Lent, including Holy
Saturday, Ember Days, and the V i ^ of Pentecost the Im­ maculate Conception and on Dec. 2 3 ,196t.
On days of fast only one full meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may- be taken according to each one’s needs; but together they should not equal another full meal. Meat may be taken at the principal m i^ on a day of fast except on Fridays, Ash Wednesday, and the VigU of the Immaculate Conception and on Dec. 23.
Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, includ­ ing tnllir and fruit juices, are allowed.
When health or ability to work would be seriously af­ fected, the law does not oblige. In doubt concerning fast or abstinence, a parish priest or confessor should be consulted.
We earnestly e d o r t the faithful during the periods of fast and abstinence to attend daily Mass; to receive Holy Communion (rften; to take part more frequently in exercises of piety; to give generously to works of religion and charity; to perform acts of kindness toward the sick, the aged, and the poor; to practice voluntary self-depial, especially regard­ ing dcoholic drink and woridly amusements; and .ta pray more fervently, particularly for the intentions of the Holy Father.

SYMBOL OF REPENTANCE
The day will begin in most churches of the Denver Arch­ diocese with the blessing a n d distribution of ashes.
In the old Law ashes were generally a symbolic expression of grief, mourning, or repent­ ance. In the early Church the use of ashes had a similar sig­ nificance and, with sackcloth, formed part of the public pen­ ances. BLESSING OF ASHES
The blessing of ashes today is one of the great liturgical rites of the year. It was originally instituted for public penitents, but is now intended for all (Kristians, as Lent should be a time of penance for all.
The priests’s exhortation when he puts the ashes on the fore­ head of the faithful are a spur to put off "the old man’’ of sloth and indulgence; “Remem-

Direct aid from Federal tax funds to the student attending a private school is not unconstitutional, asserted Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota in a Denver press interview. !
The interview followed a talk he gave to the Democratic Forum, a group that meets every Monday for lunch­ eon and an address on political subjects.
It is logical, he said, to make a distinction between aid .given to ' schools as such and aid given directly to stu­ dents. There Is no reason for holding that direct aid to stud­ ents is aid to the schools they attend. But, he added, the question
must be considered in its his­ torical and parctical contexts.
Glancing over a list of ques­ tions ranging from compromise in politics to the moral caliber of the legislators in Washing-^ ton, the Senator pointed out

A Congressman since 1948, he Impresses one as a true and in­ telligent gentleman, and devoid of all brusqueness of manner.
Patient in answering ques­ tions, it being a sunny day in Denver, he was spared the ex­ perience he had while being in­ terviewed by another Register reporter in 1956. On that par­ ticular day it snowed and the Register reporter became one of the few persons in the United States to have his car pushed off the ice by a Con­ gressman. Being a big man physically, as well as politi­ cally, the Senator, helped by another companion, got the car “off aqua firma in no time” in the reporter’s word.
Catholics, said the 44-year- old Senator, are now respond­ ing to their responsibility of active participation in politics, but the important thing, he asserted, is the nature of the response and the partici­ pation. Asked whether many weighty
moral problems arise from day to day in the life of the law­ maker, he replied that the over­ whelming majority of problems fall into the category of practi­ cal political decisions of deter­ mining what is best for the country. Very few tough moral problems arise.

Horties, Jobs Must Be Found
New homes and jobs will have to be found throughout the coun­ try for the exiles from Castro’s Cuba-, according to Monsignor Elmer J. Kolka, archdiocesan director of Catholic Charities.
“I am confident,” he said ^hat the Catholics of the Arch­
diocese of Denver will do their part in helping these unfortunate people, driven from their home­ land by tyranny and persecu­ tion.”
‘The Church in Miami is do­ ing a marvelous job in helping the exiles,” Monsignor Kolka re­ ported upon his return from the National Resettlement Con­ ference for Cuban Refugees held in the Florida resort city.
“But there are at least 50,- 000 fugitives from the Castro regime in the Miami area. Most of them have no jobs and no hope of finding one. ’The Miami Diocese cannot be expected to carry the ioad in­ definitely.”
Bishop Coleman Carroll of Miami, Monsignor Kolka re­
ports, had the foresight to see the problem coming and set up a Spanish Catholic Center to deal with it before the vast in­ flux of refugees started pouring in. To staff it. Bishop Carroll invited a number of Dominican nuns who had served in Cuba and four Spanish priests, all of whom are bilingual.
The cehter distributes food, tries to find employment for the refugees, and, when they need it, supplies them with cloth­ ing provided by Catholics in the annual Bishops' Thanksgiving Appeal.
Most of the exiles. Monsignor Kolka says, are professional peo­ ple—doctors, lawyers, and .busi­ nessmen and 90 per cent of them are Catholics.
They'all have an intense feel­ ing of self-respect.
“Most of them,” he declar­ ed, “did not come to the dio­ cesan center or the public authorities for aid when they arrived in the Miami area. They tried to get along them-

Library-Auditory m, Residence Hall to Be Built Ground breaking for the May a near-economic figure, one that
Bonfils Library and Auditorium justifies the addition of th e as well as for a new residence hall at Loretto Heights College, Denver, is set for Tuesday aft­ ernoon, feb. 14, at 4 p.m.
The May Bonfils Stanton gift makes possible the beginning of the library auditorium complex.
A communique froip Ft. Worth, Tex., this week reveals, “On Jan. 25, 1961, the Housing and Home Finance Agency ^re­ served funds in the amount of 9 1 ,200,000 to finance the con­ struction of housing facilities for 250 women students under your application.
The new residence hall to be built on the north campus near Marian Hall will be the sec­ ond residence hall built at the Heights under the “Housing and Home Finance 40-Year Self Liq­ uidating Finance Program.”
The authorization of the loan announced to Sister Frances Marie, president of Loretto Heights College, carried the ad­ ded information: “This action was based only on the elegibil- ity of Loretto Heights College as an institution of higher learn­ ing and the need for the facili­ ties.”
The need of the facilities. Sis­ ter Frances Maries explains, is relative to the building program Loretto has already announced in the plans for the May Bon­ fils Library and Auditorium.
Loretto is forced to turn away resident students each year be­ cause of the limited housing, the nun said.
The increase in enrollment that the new residence w i l l make possible will bring the college population closer to
9 ,000,000 building program plan, ned for the south end of the Lor­ etto Heights campus.
At the ceremonies Feb. 14, Archbishop Urban J. Vehr, D.D., will preside. Joseph Craven, le­ gal consultant for the college, will give the principai address
at the 4 p.m. convocation. Tom Tierney, executive vice presi­ dent, of Colorado Hospital Ser­ vice, and chaihnan of Loretto's Board of Trustees, will be the master of ceremonies.

’Three churches were burglar­ ized in Colorado Springs during the night of Feb. 5. They were St. Mary’s, Sacred Heart, and Corpus Christi.
At Sacred Heart, the thieves broke into the church through a small side window. They pried two cast iron poor boxes and a cast iron vigil stand from the floor and carried them off. They escaped by taking the lock off an alley door.
Loss was estimated at 9300 by Father Nicholas Tanaskovic, O.M.I., pastor. Insurance will cover the loss.
At Corpus Christi Parish it is thought the thieves entered the church during the early morn­ ing hours. There were no signs of forceable entry, though con­ siderable damage was done to vestment cases, doors, a n d locks in an unsuccessful search for loot.
According to Monsignor Rob­ ert Hoffman, pastor of St. Mary’s Parish, the burglary at­ tempt at his church evidently
took place in the early evening hours before the church' was locked for the night. Outside of damage to the poor box and the vigil light stand. Monsignor Hoff^man estimated the loss at little more than 92 or 93 since both the poor box and vigil stand are emptied several times during the week.
Since the beginning of the year, two Denver parishes also

selves or they went to rela­ tives for aid.”
One reason for this reluctance, Monsignor Kolka added, was the presence of many Castro agents in the area. The exiles a r e afraid to let their presence in the UJS. be known because,of possible reprisals on their rel­ atives in Cuba.
Another factor complicating the work of Church and muni­ cipal officials in the Miami area is the presence of large num­ bers -of children whose parents are still in Cuba.
“The Cubans believe,” Mon­ signor Kolka says, “that Cas­ tro plans to take all children from six to 15 away from their parents and send them away to government schools Yor in­ doctrination. Rather than let this happen many parente have sent their chiidren to tite U.S.” # ^ More than !half ‘of the- fugi­
tives who have come to the United States have remained in the Miami area, -because (hey hoped soon to be able to return to their homeland.
“But now they are beginning to face the reality that they cannot stay in Florida until Castro is overthrown,” Mon- signor KMka reports. One obstacle was removed
when President Kennedy sent a message to the Resettlement Conference promising govern­ ment help to repatridte the Cu­ bans, when conditions make that possible,' no matter in what part of the U.S. they are staying.
“This promise,” -said Monsig­ nor Kolka, “made them more willjpg to resettle in other parts of the country.” •The first steps for the re-

Police officials were reluctant to give any specific reasons for the rash of church burglaries in the area outside of the fact that churches appear to be e^isy marks for petty thieves because of the lack of protection equip­ ment such as alarm systems. They stated, however, that the looting of poor boxes and the like has always been a common problem.

“How to Stay out of Trouble in an Automboile" w i l l be the theme of the second an­ nual D r i v e r Improvement School to be held for sopho­ mores in Denver Catholic high schools at 8:45 a.m., Monday, Feb. 13, in the Wyer Auditorium of the D e n v e r Public Library, 14th Avenue and Broadway.
some 400 students are ex­ pected to attend the all-day sessions, according to Officer Joe Hale of the Denver Po­ lice Department safety educa­ tion unit, who is making ar­ rangements for the course.
' Under the direction of Judge Sherman Finesilver of the Den­ ver Municipal Court, the school will feature lectures on subjects
ranging all the way from the importance of traffic signs and directions on driving on ice and snow to the effects of alcohol on driving and the provisions of hit and run laws. •
One of three films to be shown is on “Freeway Driving” most Colorado drivers know little about. “I wish,” he said, “about 75 per cent of the driv­ ers on the Valley H i g h w a y could see the film.”
Among the state and munici­ pal officials and safety experts who will take part in the school are John Schooley, manager of safety; Division Chief Clifford Stanley of the Denver Police Department, a member of Ca­ thedral Parish;

, The first meeting of the Rocky Mountain Regional Society of
'Catholic College Teachers of Sacred Doctrine was held Jan. 27-28 at St. Michael’s College in Santa Fe, N. Mex. Attending the conference from the Den­ ver area were the Rev. Dominic Brady, O.P., and Sister Fran­ cis de Sales, S.L., both instruc­ tors of theology at L o r e t t o Heights College, Denver.
Father Brady discussed the nature of the Church, in the col­ lege sacred doctrine courses with emphasis on the mystery of the Mystical, Body and inte­ gration with grace and the sac­ raments.
Sister Francis de Sales spoke of the liturgical positions of the Oriental Churches in relation to Rome and their importance to the teacher of college doctrine. Speakers from St. Michael’s College and St. Joseph’s Col­ lege, Albuquerque, also ad­ dressed the meeting concerning other aspects of teaching sac­ red doctrine courses.
The Rev. Arthur Kinsella, O..P, from St. Michael’s Col­ lege spoke on the value of an honor society as an incentive to improvement in the curricula and teaching of religion and better scholarship on the part of students. Recently Father Kinsella was on the Loretto Heights campus discussing plans concerning the National Federa­ tion of Catholic College Students

Democracy Faces Test, Says Senator Democracy as an ideology
and also as it exists in actual government is today being subjected to its most difficult test—the test of its power to meet the demands of cold war and of uncertain peace.
This was the seed of thought left by Sen. Eugene J. Mc­ Carthy of Minnesota in a lec­ ture at Loretto Heights Col­ lege, Denver, Feb. 6.
The test of democracy, he said, is to win voluntary and understanding acceptance by the great majority of those ideas that are true, those ac­ tions that are good, and those things that are beautiful.
“This is the genuine con­ sensus,” said the Congress­ man, considered one of the most brilliant lawmakers in the nation's capital, “a con­ sensus which is . based not upon a vague feeling of unity or the yielding of one’s own position for the sake of unity, but rather upon a reason^ progress to a common under­ standing and common objec­ tive and common achieve­ ment.”
But there are many and great obstacles to the achieve­ ment of such a consensus, he pointed out. “There is the ob­ stacle of language involving confusion of i^eanlng and of definition. The debasement of words through inflation and deflation of the meaning is at
least as serious as the debase­ ment of money.
“There is the obstacle of subjectivism and of self-asser­ tion. There is the obstacle of distraction, which arises from accepting that one's responsi­ bility is simply to pass judg­ ment upon the world rather than to attempt to understand it and to save it, thereby avoiding the difficult task of passing judgment upon men and events and movements in historical context.”
In the face of the challenge to democracy posed by the cold war, noted McCarthy, there has been great concern in the United States to deter­ mine the goals of the nation, “a process in which aii of the peopie must participate either actively or passively.”
But the responsibility for participation “rests primarily upon those who have some power in forming the mind and the will of the people- newspapermen, men of let­ ters, commentators, scholars, philosophers, a n d theolo­ gians.”
The problem of determining goals, added the Senator, "seems doubly difficult in the modem world. Goals propos­ ed are ofteh conflicting and s o m e t i m e s contradictory. There are those that appeal to the intellect and to the spir­ it and those that promise pleasure and comfort. There
are those that stir man to creative effort and those that suggest passive participation. There are goals proppsed which emphasize security and those that call for sacrifice.”
There is a tendency in the age of technology and of acti­ vism, he asserted, to discount the influence of ideas, but “ideas do have consequences.”
“The ideas of economists and political philosophers,” he quoted Lord Keynes, “both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more
powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed, the world is ruled by little else. Prac­ tical men who believe them­ selves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influ­ ences a reusually slaves of some defunct economist. Mad men in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their ftenzy from some aca­ demic scribbler of a few years back.”
In medieval times, he point­ ed out, the studium, composed of those who were supposed
iiiiiiliiiittii i iiM
iiis
to reflect upon the meaning of life and the movement of his­ tory, were placed between the pebple and the centers of pow­ er of that time primarily to protect the people from error and also to protect them from exploitation and abuses.
Today, said the lawmaker, this role must he carried out by persons and institutions whose status is not so clearly defined as it was in medieval times, but the duty and need are, nonetheless, clear.

No Doubt About Virgin Birth
T h er e m ay be a t em pta t io n for some Cath­ olics to sit back all too complacently when doc- \
trinal disputes rend some of the Protestaht groups. 1 Such disputes, to Catholics, are an inevitable result of separation from the Church which speaks with an in­ fallible teaching voice. They point out that the only true road to Clnistian unity in doctrinal matters must lead back to the Vicar of Christ.
But it is perhaps even more important for Cath­ olics to understand the issues involved, and for them to be “ready always with an answer,” as SL Peter has urged, “to everyone who asks a reason for the hope that is in you” (I Peter iii, 15)., Such an instance is the current furor over the statement of the Episcopal Bishop of California, the Rt. Rev. James A. Pike, that
. there is doubt as to the virgin birth of Jesus. Even within his own Chuiiph, Bishop Pike has been accused of heresy by a large, group, generally the “Anglo Cath­ ode” or “High Church” element.
THE VIRGIN BIRTH of Christ is among the most ancient of Christian teachings. Thus, in the first cen­ tury, S t Justin dften repeats that Christ was born “of a virgin,” and St. Irenaeus not only asserts the same thing, but declares that it is in ttie rule of faith and must, be believ^ by all. ’ >
Tlie belief is firmly rooted in the Gospels. St. Luke (i, 26 seq.) relates that the Blessed Vmgin re-
i)lied to the angel who announced that she was about 0 give birth to the Son of the Most High: “How shall
this happenf since I do not know man?” But the angel replied: “liie Holy Spirit Shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall’ overshadow thee.” St. Matthew relates (i, 18 seq.) that the angel said to
2 Joseph, who was minded to put away his pregnant , bride: “Do not be afraid, Joseph, son of David, to take .
to thee Mary thy wife, for this which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.”, St. Matthew, moreover, applies to the birth of Jesus the prophecy of Isaias: “ ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son; and they shall call His name Emmanuel,’ which is, interpreted, ‘God with us’ ” (Matt, i, 23).
ALLEGATIONS APPEARING in the public press that the portions of Luke and Matthew pertaining to the virgin birth are later insertions in the text are simply answered: “There is no manuscript authority
.fo r the suggestion” (Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture, p. 940). The giving of Joseph’s genealogy as that Of thO Infant is simply following the custom of the tinie., Biblical reference to Joseph as the father of Jesus simply indicates that Re was His stepfather.
That Mark, thought by many to be the author of the earliest Gospel, does not mention the virgin birth of Jesus proves nothing. As a matter of fact, Mark does not mention the birth of Jesus at all, but begins His Gosj^l with the ministry of John the Baptist and the public; life of Jesus. Yet from this we would scarcely infer that .Mark is denying that Jesus was born. Mark, closely associated with St. Peter, was writing His Gos-
61 to p ^ e rv e the. teachings of St. Peter for the omans to whom he had preached. He was writing for
an audience, whieh already believed in the Divinity of Jesus, and, we may assume. His virgin birth. He chose to relate those incidents in the public life of Jesus that would be ''most impressive to a formerly pagan audience, such as the Romans.
THE VIRGIN BIRTH of Jesus was called into question in modem times by rationalists who refused to admit anything miraculous in the Gospels. They therefore deny ^ .v i r g in birth, and the miracles of Jesus, and then search about for something to back up. their stand. The reasonings they come up with are often out of this world!
Denial of the ^ g in . birth of Jesus would d^trpy one of the foundation stones of Christianity and would lead, as a corollary, to denial of the Divinity of Christ. It is one of the most firmly bolstered truths of the Church, both in Scripture and Tradition, and to deny it m h ld be in effect to deny the validity of all Chris-
' tiaii teaching. . » \2. —Msgr, John B. Ebel

ONE OF THE MOST HOPEFUL SIGNS for
the revival of Christianity in the world today is the wide­ spread long ing—and even vigorous action—among both Catholics and Protestants to fulfill Christ’s prophecy that ‘‘There shall be one fold and one Shepherd.”
The Protestant efforts to re­ store the unity of the early Church have not always met with overwhelming joy from Catholics. Many theologians
Tiave felt that movements such as the World C o u n c i l of Churches, in spite of its own declarations to the contrary, are apt to produce only a su­ perficial union of good fellow­ ship varnished over a com­ plete lack of agreement on fundamental dogmas of Chris­ tianity.
The fact that the efforts are taking place at all, however, is the first really hopeful sign for a return to the ancient faith since the time of the Reformation.
THE LATEST OF THESE Wotestant proposals on behalf of unity was made in Decem­ ber by Dr.' Eugene Carsoh Blake and loudly seconded by Episcopalian Bishop James A. Pike. Dr. Blake’s plan was for a union of the Presby­ terian, Methodist, U n i t e d Church of Christ, and Episco­ palian churches in the U.S.
Why this proposal met with mixed reactions—even among the Protestants to whom it was addressed — is obvious from the outcome of a similar plan in India upon which Dr. Blake's suggestion was admit­ tedly based.
In 1952, after more than 50 years of preparation, the Anglican, Congregationalist, Methodist, and Presbyterian denominations in South India merged to form one organiza­ tion known as the Church of South India.
THE AGREEMENT that made this merger possible re­ veals some of the dangers as well as some of the strertgths that accompany all Protestant efforts at reunion.
Besides accepting the Bible as a decisive standard of faith, the CSI required belief in the
. articles of the A p o stle s’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. There are, however, many ar­ ticles of belief held by the dif­
ferent uniting bodies that were not mentioned—many of them_because no agreement had been reached upon them. About these the CSI merely expressed the pious hope that these disagreements would eventually disappear.
Belief is reqwred in only two sacraments,''BaptisiQ and the Lord’s Supper—and even on the manner of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist the constitution is purposely vague. Belief in other sacra­ ments is permitted, and pro- cedut'es are given for the ad­ ministration of some of these sacraments if the ministers wish to perform them.
ONE OF THE STRONGEST ’ points in the constitution of the
CSI is the emphasis upon Bishops. Some of the uniUng denominations were histori­ cally opposed (0 any sort of hierarchy, and their accep­ tance of the necessity of such an institution is a real step forward in the direction of Catholic truth.
The catch is that the CSI ex­ plicitly says that its members are free to believe whatever they wish about the nature and authority of the episcopacy. Thus in the ssftne church there are members who believe in Bishops as the successors of the Apostles with the power to rule and to invest ministers with the power of a real priest­ hood, and others who think of them as only ceremonial fig­ ureheads.
IN A WAY, TO CATHOLICS the dispute is inconsequential, since the Church has declared the orders of even Anglican Bishops as invalid. To the members of the CSI, however, the disagreement means a good deal.
Some Anglicans, for in­ stance, think their Bishops have valid oMers in the Cath­ olic sense and can, in ordina-

R EG ISTO R IfllS CATHOLIC COMMENT ON CUHRENT EVENTS
No Room for Discussion
tion, pass along the power to change bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. For these Anglo • Catholics, there is a real problem about what to think of a minister or­ dained by a former Congrega­ tionalist who holds no such be­ lief and intends to bestow no such power in the ordination ceremony.
The conflict shows up in a curious way in the require­ ments for the ministry. All fu­ ture C£l ministers are to be ordained by a Bishop. Those who were non-episcopally or­ dained before the union, how­ ever, were not required to be ordained again.
TO A N ANGLO-CATHOUC this means that there are three claues of ministers: Those ordained by an Anglican Bishop beforb the union, whose orders to the Anglo-Cathoiics w o u l d seem undoubtedly valid; those not ordained by a Bishop at all, whose orders the Anglo-Catholic would re­ gard as no good at all; and those ordained by a Bishop after the merger, whom the Anglo-Catholic might regard as only doubtfully ordained.
To compound these >dif(icul-. ties, the CSI declares theoreti­ cally that all ministers can officiate at all services in|aU churches. The difficulty is avoided in practice, however, by a provision that no congre* gation has to accept a minis­ ter to whom it conscientiously objects.
Such difficulties, of course, make any such merger as the CSI impossible for the Catho­ lic Church. In some respects, however, the South India at­ tempt at union is a real step toward the true faith. - TO THIS EXTENT Catho­ lics can only hope that this first wavering step is the be­ ginning of a voyage back home.
ITVERY NOW AND THEN we come across assertions that state
aid to the parochial school child is a matter freely "debatable among CaUiolics. This is not so, as was made plain by Pius XI in his ency­ clical on the Christian Education of Youth. Every pronouncement on this question by a member of the American Hierarchy is in the same direction.
The latest such statement—only the latest in a long list of assertions of principle — comes from Arch­ bishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati, who has added his voice to. protests against massive federal aid to -edu­ cation that ignores private schools, which, says the Archbishop, “im­ poses an impossible burden on Catholic parents.”
The Archbishop indicated that increased costs of voluntary educa­ tion, made all the more unbearable by federal subvention of the public schools, may force curtailment of the lower grades in Catholic schools.
THE ARCHBISHOP came,out in favor of long-term, loiV-interest federal loans for all schools, public and private. He declared he did not want a direct subsidy for religious instruction.
Archbishop Alter said the al­ leged needs of schools are “greatlv exaggerated.” He charged that add­ ing from two to six bUlions in fed­ eral aid to the U. S. budget would be “economically disastrous.”
“What is back of the program of federal aid?” the prelate a^ed . “The answer is that p ro fm onal employes [mostly h i ^ - salaried school superintendents] want to , transfer control of the schools from the citizens to the professional edu­ cators,” and thus avoid accounta­ bility to tiie taxpayer.
EDUCATION COSTS have in­ creased 74 times since 1 ^ , the . Archbishop pointed out, wnerea^' total national income has increased only 28 times. Without massive fed­ eral aid, Uie nation has added some 67,000 new classrooms each year for Gie past decade. Estimates indi­ cate teat only M,000 new dais- rooms will be needed each year in die coming decade.
The day will come, predicts Archbishop Alter, “when the cur­ rent interpretation of the Supreme Court [against aid to reugious schools] be replaced by a morej! logical, more historically consistent,^ and more equitable one, just as in the school desegregation cases.”
Church Ahead of Legislature
'This Nation Under God' Cartoonists lam pooned bis awkward gestures and clumsy expressions. What his critics did not reckon with was that the more stones of derision they hurled at him, the higher was growing the monument to his name.
Few events in Lincoln’s life received m o r e castigation than the “Gettysburg Ad­ dress.” Edward Everett, fore­ most classical orator, was invited to deliver the main ad- diess at the dedication of the National Soldiers Cemetery at Gettysburg. The decision to ask Lincoln to speak was a mere afterthought.
THE REST IS HISTORY. Everett spoke for nearly two hours. It was the greatest ef­ fort of his brilliant career and the ovation was thunder­ ous.
The gawky Lincoln stepped to the rostrum. His speech was nine sentences in length.
He considered his speech a dismal failure. The American and English press agreed with him, describing it in s u c h terms as “silly,” “dishwatery,” “dull,” and “commonplace.”
TODAY THE VERDICT is completely reversed.
As we commemorate the birthday of this great Ameri­ can on Feb. 12, we can pray that the w o r d s he spoke at Gettysburg shall never lose their meaning, that “this na­ tion under God,” shall never forfeit its freedom, and that “government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth!"

An INTERESTING PIECE of legisla­ tion has been reported among the
exactly three laws passed by both houses of the Colorado Legislature in a little more than one month since i t s '1961 opening.
This law would permit persons to dis­ pose of all or part of their bodies on death, notably for the sake of eye banks.
I had not suspected that the statute law of Colorado had placed any barriers against the volufitary disposition of the human body after its death by the one to whom it belongs. But it is illuminat­ ing to know that the Church never had any such legislation.,
ABOUT 'THE BEGINNING of this century, Andrew Dickson White, a noted university president, historian, diplo-
,mat, wrote a book, famous in its day, but discredited by the scholarship of the late Catholic physician-apologist, James J. Walsh, In whieh White made the as­ sertion that the Church, and particularly the Popes, forbade the dissection of the human body.
Dr. Walsh showed that this was based on a false interpretation, that in fact the medieval universities took the lead in dissecting human bodies for med­ ical instruction.
Although, in the ancient world, hu­ man dissection as a means to medical knowledge was perhaps not altogether unknown, it was very rarely resorted to. Great physicians, like Galen of the third century, did their dissection on the bod­ ies of pigs.
THE REASON for this reluctance to dissect the human body did not spring from any respect the pagans had for it so much as from a su^rstitious awe of the human corpse, an unreasoning fear that Christian theology and discipline soon dissipated.
Jewish and Moslem opinion w a s equally as hostile to. dissection as was
that of the Greco-Roman pagans. It was left for the medical faculties of Italy, Spain, and France to break down this unreasonable prejudice.
THE HISTORY of human dissection in the interests of science. Dr, Walsh wrote, can be traced with absolute cer­ tainty only after a decree issiied by Bon-'' iface v m in 1300.- ’ ?
During the 25 years foUowing this decree, in the Umversity of Bologna, which was always closely in touch w h - the ecclesiastic^ authorities in Italy, and especially with the Pope, the foun­ dations of dissection as the most impor tant practical department of me teaching were laid by Mondino, whose book on dissectioh continued to be the text book used hi most of the medical schools for the next two centuries. '
IT WAS AT the famous medical school of Montpellier, abput the middle of the 14th century,,when the Popes were at Avignon not far away, that Guy de ChauUac made attendance at dissec­ tions obligatory for everyx student, and obtained perm&sion to use the bodies of criminals-for dissection ^purposes. At the time Chauliac occupied the post df chamberlain to the Popes. ^
PIUS XII DECLARED imtenable'an opinion a few moralists bad'held, that a living person could donate the cornea of his eye to another person. Besides being an unjustified mutilation of an - important organ, this would have led to, grave abuses. But any person may do­ nate the cornea of his eye for use after his death. In fact. Providence Hospital, , Seattle, serves as the nation’s foremost clearing house for those who wish to do­ nate their eyes after their death. Mercy Hospital, Denver, also has such an “eyh bank.” * -
Once again the action of the Colo­ rado Legislature reminds us that the teachings of the Church do not lag be­ hind any justified action of sdentists.
Catholic Press vs. Challenge of '60s By Bob Ramsey
Fe b r u a r y is c a t h o u c p r e s s m o n th . It is the month in which Catholic editors
and journalists stress the importance of the Catholic Press in order that its influence be welcomed into Catholic homes around the nation.
Perhaps there is no greater example of the need for the Catholic Press today than the challenge posed to it by atheistic Communism. This false ideology has been denounced by the Popes from its inception. The words of the Pontiffs have been faithfully carried in the Catholic Press for all to learn of this wide­ spread evil.
AND SO WE READ that in 1846 during the time of Karl Marx, Pope Pius IX de­ scribed Communism as “absolutely contrary to the natural law itself.” In 1878 Pope Leo XII defined Communism as “the fatal plague which insinuates itself into the very marrow of human society, only to bring about its ruin.”
No Pope of the 20th century has written so scathing a denunciation of Communism as has Pius XI. Referring to it as ar “satanic scourge,” Pope Pius XI saw Communism as “being instrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collabo­ rate with it In any undertaking whatsoever.”
In this same encyclical, Divini Redemptoris, on atheistic Communism (1937), the Pontiff clearly asserted that the Catholic Press had emerged as the lone defender of truth in the journalistic world against the onslaughts of Communism.
THE POPE SAID: “In this renewal (of Christian living) the (^tholic Press can play a prominent part. Its foremost duty is to foster in various attractive ways an ever .better understanding of social docMne. It should, too, supply accurate and complete informa­ tion on the activity of the enemy and the means of resistance which have b ^ n found most effective in various quarters.
“It should offer useful suggestions and wflm against the insidious dec^ts with which Communists endeavor, all too successfully, to attract even men of good faith.” " /
Today in 1961 the challenge posed by athe­ istic Communism is still with ua. If there is a difference between its challenge in the 1800s and the 1900s, it is the magnitude of its nefarious propaganda being waged on every front of human effort.
BUT, AR IN THE PAST, the Cathqlic Press reniains strong in its determination to m eet,this challenge and to defeat it. The Catholic Press will not be compromised on this issue and to any who would be so com­ promised, the words of Pius XI n ^ t well serve u an epitaph on tlleir tombstones. He wrote:
“Those who permit themselves to be de- edved into lending their aid towards the triumph of Communism in their own country, will be the first to fall victims of their error. And the greater the antiquity and grandeur of the Christian civilization in the regions where Commnniam successfully penetrates, so much more devastating will be the harted displayed by the Godless.”

Children ranging all the way from kindergarten pupils to stu­ dents of Russian will show CPTL delegates how they learn in four demonstrations of educational methods at the organization’s all-day conference to be held in the Hilton Hotel March 9.
The education demonstrations, which will be held in the general morning session of the confer­ ence, will be presented by kin­ dergarten pupils from St. Philo- mena’g Sdiool, Denver; mem­ bers of English classes from St. Bernadette’s School, Lpkewood; fifth, sixth,'and seventh grade pupils studying Russian at All Souls' School; Englewood; a n d speech students from Mt. St. Gertrude’s Academy, Boulder.
'READING READINESS’ The St. Philomena’s pupils will
be featured in a demonstration -of teaching "reading readiness.” This "s u b j e c t” is important, says Sister Rosemary, the kin­ dergarten teacher, to develop the abilities that pupils will have to use when they learn how to read.

Among o t h e r things, the teacher tries to widen the chil­ dren’s vocabulary and to give
them a better concept of what the words mean. She gives them exercises to develop their ability to recognize different shapes of symbols and to train their mus­ cles to form such shapes in preparation for writing.
Other exercises aim to develop the pupils’ ability to differenti­ ate between different sounds and to associate spoken sounds with printed symbols.
The children from St. Berna­ dette’s will present a demonstra­ tion of a story-writing project developed in the school’s upper seventh grade. Using an article “The Story Teller’s Vocabulary,” by Dr. E. W. Dolck in Ele­ mentary English, the pupils wrote stories for the primary grades and some “Tall Tales” for third and fourth grade pu­ pils. Then the young authors scurried about from classroom to classroom, testing their stories on chillren of different ages to find the types of stories most enjoyed by each grade level.

They are, from left, Bart Caruso, Diane Lefebvre, and Don Hicks.

Record From Confraternity Records Parish surveys often bring amazing
revelations. This was the case in a recent tabulation of CCD schools of religion made in the Denver area. Three parishes which have the largest enrollment are St. Anthony of Padua’s, All Saints’, and Holy Trinity, Westminster. The three chairmen shown here are, from left to right, Mrs. Ulibarri, St. Anthony’s Parish; Mrs. Cara- ghar. Holy Trinity, who is also Archdioc­ esan CCD Chairman of Elementary Teach­ ers; and Mrs. Carter, All Saints’ Parish. They are looking over figures and totals while trying to make plans for a smoother and better organized program in their parishes.
Mrs. Berenice Ulibarri is chairman of
23 elementary teachers at St. Anthony of Padua’s, with 1,005 children attending classes which are conducted six days of the week. Mrs. Lyle Carter is chairman of 36 elementary teachers at All Saints’; 1,050 children under instruction three days of the week. Mrs. James Caraghar is chairman of 27 elementary teachers at Holy Trinity, with three separate sessions taught every Saturday, and 1,200 children in attendance.
This all adds up to three chairmen; 88 teachers; and 3,255 children. The CCD school of religion 'program is filling a vital need in these parishes, thanks to the generosity and sacrifices of an active and spiritually interested laity.
