DTest Case
COLD SPRING, Minn. (NC) -- A test
ease challenging the constitutionality of
tax-paid bus rides for non-public school
students in Minnesota has been filed in the
Minnesota Seventh District Judicial Court.
Target of the suit is a law enacted ear-
lier this year by the state legislature auth-
orizing Cold Spring-St. Nicholas school dis-
iCt 2065 to levy taxes to pay for bus
nsport of non-public school pupils who
"live in the district.
At the time of its enactment the meas-
ure was regarded as providing the basis
for a legal test of the bus ride issue.
The plaintiffs in the case -- a Lutheran
layman and a Catholic layman--are repre-
sented by state Sen. Robert R. Dunlap,
chairman of the Senate Education Com-
ittee.
Officials of the school district are rep-
resented by state Sen. Gordon Rosenmeier.
The case is expected to be settled ul-
timately by the Minnesota Suprem e Court
on the basis of the state constitution. It
is considered unlikely that the case will go
to federal courts, since the US Supreme
Court two decades ago held that tax-paid
bus rides for non-public school students do
ot violate the federal constitution.
Some 75 per cent of the students in
school district 2065 a t ten d non-public
schools.
The plaintiffs note that St. Boniface High
School and grade school here, attended by
many of the pupils involved, teach the
"doctrines, creed and tenets of the Roman
Catholic Church."
They say that the state constitution bars
Se of tax funds for the support of church-
lated schools and that the bus ride law
s therefore in violation of the constitution.

Vietnam Aid
) NEW YORK (NC) -- Catholic Relief

Conference has greatly increased its pro-
gram of aid to Vietnam, Msgr. John F.
McCarthy, assistant executive director,
said.
Monsignor McCarthy said CRS-NCWC
recently sent more than 40 tons of medi-
cines-worth some $400,000--to the coun-
t?, the largest single shipment of medi-
nes in the agency's 20-year history, Half
the medicine was donated by the Catholic
Medical Mission Board. CRS also sent 200
tons of salt and 2,400 cases of sweetened
condensed milk.
Monsignor McCarthy announced that

Development to increase its Vietnam feed-

By JAMES C. O'NEILL
VATICAN CITY (NC)--A historic meet-
ing of the ecumenical council voted over-
whelmingly to present to the world a de-
[initive document affirming man's civil
right to religious freedom.
The vote was taken September 21 after
five days of debate on the subject by 62
council Fathers and was a special vote
proposed by the council's board of mod-
erators. The Fathers at the 132rid general
council meeting were asked to vote on
the question:
"Do the Fathers judge that the revised
text on religious liberty can serve as a
basis for a definitive declaration which will
be perfected in the light of the Catholic
teaching on the true religion and accord-
ing to observations proposed by Fathers
during the discussions and which will be
approved later according to the regulat-
tions of the council?"
The answer to the question was resound-
ing. Of the 2,222 Fathers voting, 1,997 said
yes; 224 said no, and one vote was null.
With the closing of the debate on re-
ligious liberty the council turned to the
next matter on its agenda, the lengthy
and complicated schema on the Church in
the modem world, sometimes known as
schema 13 because of the place it occu-
pied during the third session of the council
in 1964.
The first to speak on it was Francis
Cardinal Spellman of New York, who asked
that the present text not be weakened be-
cause the document should be a clear
affirmation of the Church's place in the
world today. The Church wants to listen,
Cardinal Spellman said, and wants to be
listened to in a real dialogue.
stands now, "the document does no honor
to the council,"
Following Cardinal Spellman, Juan Card.
inal Landazuri Ricketts of Lima, Peru, said
great progress has been made in this
draft as compared with the previous one.
However, he said he agreed with Cardinal
Bea that the Latin style was poor. He also
objected to its modes of expression, say.
ing that at times it spoke almost ex
cathedra and then again often used a
'"IV tone."
Noting that it runs to more than 30,000,
words, Cardinal Landazuri said it is far
too long and too repetitious.
Raul Cardinal Silva Henriquez of Santi-
ago, Chile, said he found the schema ac-
ceptable but also criticized the text for be-
ing too long. He asked tJat it be given
a greater doctrinal tone instead of its pas-
toral tone so that it could be on a level
with the Constitution on the Church.
Lorenz Cardinal Jaeger of Paderborn',
Germany, said the substance of the schema
is good and that it responds to the needs
of modern times.
He suggested that at the end of the
council a new commission be established
to apply theological principles to today's
problems and to issue something similar
to the catechism that was issued after
the Council of Trent (1545-1563).
The day's last speaker was Cardinal
Bea. In addition to finding fault with the
document's Latin, he also declared it was
far too long and repetitious. Still, he said,
the work that went into its preparation
should be recognized and admired and
added that it seems to have found the
special language and tone needed for this
type of document.

ROME, Sept. 22--Last week the fourth
session of Vatican II got under way
just before we went to press or rather,
just before I had to meet my deadline
and there was little to indicate the pull-
ing and tugging that was to occur dur-
ing the week following with regard to
the revised schema on religious liberty.
Archbishop Connolly
Both pros and cons were well and open-
ly and frankly aired during the week by
some five speakers who were more or
Archbishop of Seattle
less evenly divided on this controversial
subject.
The so-called conservatives led by
Cardinals Ottaviani, Siri and Ruffini as
well as a large number of Spanish,
Italian and Latin American bishops, for
the most pai't found a great deal of
fault with the text of the schema, recom-
mending change after change that could
only result in rendering it devoid of
any meaning. This attempt to riddle the
text and send it back to the commission
for a fourth re-drafting, would, it was
hoped, entail the tabling of the schema
until the present session closed or, if
not then, the final discussion of it dur-
ing the first convocation of the Synod
of Bishops next year. In either instance,
the schema would be scuttled, much to
the joy of its opponents.
However, the progressive element
among the council Fathers, led by the
American cardinals as well as by those
of the Middle European bloc, had the
enthusiastic backing of the moiority of
the bishops who spoke on the trouble-
some subject. Many of the terms used
in the re-drafted schema do require
clarification and it was necessary to
distinguish and sub-distinguish at times
to make one's remarks clear and per-
tinent.
Freedom of conscience, religious lib-
erty, the subjective and objective atti-
tudes of groups and governments toward
the problem, all had to be spelled out
properly. At the suggestion of many of
the Fathers who spoke on the schema,
these items would' be takdn care of in
the commission before the schema
would be presented for a final vote.
The continued oratory in the council
chambers was likened by some of the
reporters and columnists here to a fili-
buster 'but that certainly was not the
case. The Holy Father desires every
bishop in the council to have the right
of free speech and the opportunity of
expressing himself on any point on the
agenda. The only limitations are that he
must do it in ten minutes and that what
he proposes to say has not been said
before. Even these conditions were ig-

intricacies of the POP program were

among the business staffs of The Progress

Presiding at the meeting was Harley

POP goes The Progress.
Purchase Our Products, the exciting
label-reduction project, will be presented
by The Progress as an exclusive !otal mar-
keting program for participating organiza-
tions, advertisers, retailers and this arch-
diocesan newspaper.
POP goes Friday, October 1.
But unlike PAL (Progress Advertised
Labels), POP total marketing will NOT
be limited to assigned parishes. POP is
open to all non-profit organizations --
Catholic and non-Catholic- which regis-
ter with The Progress to share in the
POP FUNd.
The POP FUNd will be derived by the
setting aside of a generous pe'centage of
the total advertising revenue from POP
accounts. This FUNd could amount to more
than several thousand dollars.
The POP franchise was secured from the
Chicago New World, America's largest
metropolitan diocesan newspaper. This ex-
clusive franchise places The Progress along
with the Buffalo, NY, Magnificat under the
name of POP Markets' Newspapers.

the organizations to raise funds, he pointed
out.
While explaining that there was nothing
extra to be bought, nothing to be sold and
no drastic change in purchasing habits,
Dee revealed that in under three years
of activity in Chicago the program has dis-
persed $92,000 in cash ewards, and has
received 92 million Proofs Of Purchase
(labels, box tops, etc.).
While it is rare to be able to protect
a marketing idea, the POP Total Mar-
keting program is considered so unique
that it was accepted for registration with
the United States Copyright Office under
certificate Bb-22256 October 5, 1962.
Similar marketing programs involving
secular media have been promoted in the
past but none in the country has ever had
more than 15 advertising sponsors.
The 60 advertising sponsors created by
the Chicago New World program is an
indication of the tremendous enthusiasm
with which POP has been received by the
organizations who benefit from the Cash

Although the New York cardinal was
highly favorable to the new text of the
146-page document on the Church in the
modern world, most of the other speakers
of the day were not.
Augustin Cardinal Bea, president of the
Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity,
said he frequently had to consult the
French translation of the document to un-
derstand the Latin version, despite the
fact that he had taught in Latin for 50
years. Cardinal Bea said that as its Latin

Mass Offered
In Esperanto
REMINI, Italy (NC)--The new vernac-
ular Mass took on yet another sound here
with its celebration for the first time in
the Esperanto language.
"Sankta Meso en Esperanto" at the
Church of St. Bernardine formed part of
the opening ceremonies ot the National
Esperanto Congress September 19, by spe-
cial permission of Bishop Emilio Biancheri
of Rimini. The bishop's vicar general,
Msgr. Emilio Pasolini, is a longtime Es-
peranto enthusiast.
In his homily--also in the synthetically
created language -- the celebrant, Father
Albino Ciccanti, OFM, noted that the lan.
guage, like the Latin on which it is largely
based, has a universal significance in that
it attempts to liberate people "from the
Babel, not only of their idioms, but also
of their rivalries."
Among those attending the Mass was the
Russian actor Nicola Rytjcov who once
spent 12 years in Siberia for his ardent
advocacy of the language when it was
opposed by Stalin's regime. It was the first
congress he has been permitted to attend.
VATICAN CITY (NC)--The Vatican City
daily, L'Osservatore RemanD, has pub.
lished what Vatican sources describe as
a "still unofficial" schedule for the Pope
Paul VI's October 4 visit to the United
Nations in New York.
After addressing the general assembly at
3:30, Pope Paul will meet all delegat
personally, L'Osservatore Romano said.
Although rumors persisted tn Vatican
circles that the Pope Would extend his
visit for at least one day, the paper said
that his departure is scheduled for about
11 pm on the same day he arrives, which
will bring him back to Rome about 11:30
the next morning.
Other details of the trip include the
departure from Rome October 4 at S:30
am, aboard an Alitalia jet arriving in New
York about 10 am EDT.
After meeting authorities at the airport,
he will be driven through downtown New
York to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where he
is expected to arrive about noon.
Both before and after the UN visit,
which is scheduled to end about 6 pro, ha
will stay at the residence of Francis Car.
dinal Spellman.
The Mass for peace in Yankee Stadium
will be at 8: 30, after which the Pope will
go directly to the airport, the paper said.
