Danes Like Married Priest
By Helcje Kristensen
COPENHAGEN (NC)--
An Irish priest visiting St.
Theresa's parish here was
astonished recently when the
Danish pastor told him to drop
by in the afternoon because
"my curate's wife is going to
be godmother at a Baptism."
But there was no cause for
surprise. The Rev. Clay Ror-
dam Bonnevie, 5L a former
minister in the Lutheran State
Church, has been carrying 0n
pastoral duties here since 1960
when he was ordained a Cath-
olic priest. He is married and
father of a 21-year-old daugh-
ter,
Father Bonnevle's married
status does not seem unusual to
Danes, who are used to mar-
ried clergymen in their own
Church. He lives in a modern
apartment building about a
block from the church. Visitors
there feel they are stepping
into a familiar Protestant rec-
tory where the minister's wife
is u s u a I 1 y busy organizing
classes, caring for parishioners
and lending support to her hus-
band.
There are now about a
dozen former Lutheran min-
isters who are married Cath-
olic priests in Germany. Fa-
ther Bonnevie isthe only one
in Denmark, and his presence
here has had a salutary ef-
fect on Catholic-Protestant
relations. /nterviewed at his
home, he told how he deelded
to enter the Catholic Church
after 12 years as a Lutheran
pastor•
"My ancestors had been Lu-
theran ministers for 400 years,"
he said. "Even as a boy I was
determined to carry on with the
tradition. When I was 23 I at-
tended a Catholic Mass in
Sacred Heart church in Copen-
hagen. The consecration made
a deep impression on me, espe.
cially since I had always held
the Catholic view of Christ's
p r e s e n c e in the Sacrament,
while the Lutheran explanation
confused me.
Church Holds
'Tropic'
Obscene
SPRINGFIELD, I11. (NC)-
The Illinois Supreme Court has
ruled that the novel "Tropic
of Cancer" is obscene and re-
moved an injunction barring
police from halting its sale or
distribution. The court said
June 18 that the book by Henry
Miller contains "the most filthy
and obscene language imagi n -
able."
The ruling reversed a 1962 de-
cision by Superior Court in
Chicago that the book is not
obscene.
In Chicago attorney Elmer
Gertz, representing the novel's
publisher, Grove Press, said
the decision would be appealed
to the U.S. Supreme Court. -
ustice Harry B. Hershey
m,,Re the opinion for the
unanimous state high court.
He said the book's "preoe-
cupation with lewd and las-
civious sex" is so great as
to obscure for the average
reader "any philosophic theme
or portio n of the book with
literary inert."
He also rejected the publish-
er's argument that the novel
is intended "primarily for the
intellectually sophisticated,"
saying ths contention is ,fatal-
ly inconsistent" with the fact
that the book was being:: sold
widely in a 95 cent paperback
edition in drug stores, train
stations and newsstands through-
out Chicago.

STUTTGART, Germany (NC)

A MARRIED PRIEST, FATHER OLAV RORDAM BONNEVIE, AND HIS FAMILY
"After my ordination as a
minister, I was assistant for
one year and then pastor for
12 years in Hellevad-Orum in
northern Jutland. I was an ac-
tive participant in the high
church movement in Denmark,
but I gradually became aware
I could not forever justify my
Catholic conviction with the
Lutheran viewpoint. I then de-
eided to become a Catholic."
Father Bonnevie became a
Catholic in 1945, after a trip to
England. His wife and daugh-
ter followed him into the
Church two years later. In 1953
he received permission from
Pope Plus XII to begin studies Danish Catholics to the Holy

NEW YORK (NC)--About 2,000 questions a day,
a ,quarter of them in foreign languages, are fielded
by 18 young hostesses in the Vatican Pavilion at the
New York World's Fair.
The hostesses were chosen out of 2,000 who ap-
plied for the jobs. One of the deciding factors was language.
Nearly all of the hostesses are multi-lingual and handle questions
in Spanish, German, French--even Yiddish.
Besides being up on their languages, all of the young ladies
went through a training period to learn about the background of
the exhibits at the pavilion, Irving Stone's book "The Agony
and the Ecstacy," a biography of Michelangelo, was required
reading, since the famed Renaissance artist's marble Pieta is
a featured attraction at the pavilion.
The hostesses are the charges of Marie Mccormaek, a
one-time concert artist who dropped her singing career to be-
come recreation director for the American Red Cross, and
later program director for the American Theater Wing. She
said the pavilion tried to hire girls who would he more con-
cerned with working for the Church than with making money.
The. hostesses are dressed in identical princess-line dresses
of magenta and pink wool mohair, designed by Margarita and
Jose de Lima. The modest V-necklines of the dresses are aug-
mented by a gold chain and brooch inspired by the papal coat
of arms.
