Bringing Missal to Mass Soon
.Will Be Out-moded, Priest Says
BATON R O U G E, La.
(NC) A liturgist said
here that bringing a mis-
sal to Mass soon will be
old-fashioned.
"It will be as archaic 'as the
rosary at the Holy Sacrifice.
• .You do not take part in public
vorship by burying your nose
i'W-'n a book," said Rev. Robert
Hovda, editor of the National
Liturgical Conference's quarter-
ly publication.
The priest, assigned to the St.
Paul Student Center at North
Dakota State University in Far-
go, spoke on the vernacular
and other changes in the Mass
to teachers in Baton Rouge di-
ocesan schools and members of
the Confraternity of Christian
Doctrine.
"It is not necessary," he
said, "to check the celebrant
to see if he reads the prayers
to you correctly. Listen to the
word of God as he gives it to
you."
Until the faithful are con-
vinced of the importance of
their role in the liturgy and be-
come involved in the current
"rediscovery of the act of re-
demption," he said, they Will
tLegion Condemns
Movie Made in U.S.
NEW YORK (NC)--The
National Legion of De-
cency announced Decem-
er ;/ that a Condemned
ring has been issued to
the film, "Kiss Me Stupid,"
starring Kim Novak and Dean
Martin.
The Mirisch Corporation pro-
duction is the first U. S. made
movie to be given a Class C
(condemned) rating by the
Catholic evaluation agency
.since "Baby Doll," Ella Ka-
Zan's production, released by
w'Warner Bros. eight years ago.
The reason for the C rating
of the film, which was produced
and directed by Billy Wilder,
was stated by the Legion as fol-
lows:
"Satire on the foibles of
Its people has always been a
sign of the healthiness of a
society. Through humor the
weaknesses of men can be ex.
posed to a salutary recogni-
tion by all, and, many times,
much more effectively than
by serious preachment. Mr.
Wilder's earlier film, "The
Apartment," was an example
of such effective comic satire.
"In the case of 'Kiss Me
Stupid,' however not only has
Mr. Wilder failed to create a
genuine satire out of a situation
comedy but an amateur com-
poser who attempts to sell his
songs to a big-name singer in
exchange for the adulterous at-
tentions of his alleged 'wife',
but he has regrettably pro-
duced a thoroughly sordid piece
of realism which is esthetically
as well as morally repulsive.
Crude and suggestive dialogue,
a leering treatment of marital
and extra-marital sex, a pru-
rient preoccupation with lechery
compound the film's bald con-
donation of immorality."
In releasing this rating the
Legion at the same time ex-
pressed its astonishment that "a
film which is so patently inde-
cent and immoral" should have
received a seal of approval
from the Production Code Au-
thority of the Motion Picture
Association of America.
"It is difficult to understand
how such an approval is not
the final betrayal of the trust
which has been placed by so
many in the organized indus-
try's self'regulati°n"' com-
mented the Legion.
"Moreover, the release of this
film by Lopert Pictures, a whol-
ly owned subsidiary of United
Artists, at any time but partic-
ularly at the holiday season of
Chanukah and Christmas is a
commercial d e c i s i o n," ob-
served, the Legion, "bereft of
respect for the Judeao-Christian
sensibilities of the majority of
our American people."
be jus t play-acting.
Pastors and people together,
he said, must have patience as
they "struggle together out of
the old world into the new."
In answer to a question con-
cerning singing at communion
time, Father Hovda comment-
ed:
"At this moment of the
Mass, Christ makes us all one
in Him. We should be acute-
ly aware of our neighbor and
our solidarity during this
most profoundly social mo-
ment of a profoundly social
act."
-'He also said sermons at
Mass will be different. The em-
phasis will be away from the
"moralistic advice offered from
experiences of the past of the
priest" and toward the Gospel,"
he said.
Introduction of the vernacular,
he said, "takes away the smoke
screen in the liturgy and lays
all the problems where we can
see them."
More basic reform will be
needed if the current changes
don't make the Church's pub-
lic worship understandable, he
said.

ilm Awards
NEW YORK (NC)mln a
move to prod American
film making into produc-
ing more and better films for
family audiences, the National
Council of Churches has estab-
lished a series of annual mo-
ttion picture awards.
The announcement came on
he heels of the statement by
the Catholic Episcopal Commit-
tee on Motion Picture: Radio
and Television in which the leg-
ion criticized Hollywood for a
"substantial decrease" in the
production of films suitable for
family attendance. The bish-
ops also objected to an in-
- crease in the number of "ob-
Ijectionable" films for adult au-
v diences.
The National Council of
Churches, which includes most
Protestant and Orthodox
churches in the U. S., will an-
nounce its first film awards for
outstanding artistic merit.
India Pilgrimage
ROME (N.C.) Pope
Paul VI, the man who
called himself a "pilgrim
of peace," is back in
Rome following a trip to
Bombay, India, where he met
with a reception such as no
pilgrim has received in the
history of the world.
For four days and three
nights, the 67-year-old Pontiff
met with the people of India--
rich people, poor people, young
people, old people, statesmen
and religious leaders, Catho-
lics, Protestants, Jews, Ortho-
dox, Hindus and Buddhists.
Wherever he went he was
greeted by cheering crowds.
"We come as a pilgrim, a
pilgrim of peace, of joy, of
serenity and love," the Pope
said upon arriving at Bombay
airport December 2. "We greet
all the Indian people, every
man, woman and child. And
we extend our greeting to all
the nations of Asia, to every
nation in the world.
"May they always remember
that all men are brothers
under the fatherhood of the
Divinity. May they learn to
love one another, to respect
one another, to avoid vio-
lating the natural rights of
others. May they ever strive
to respect these rights in
truth, in justice and in love."
Three days later, when he
was departing from the same
airport, the Pone told a huge
throng he vyuld ,always carry
"an unforgettable memory" of
his visit to India, and he
added: "We feel ourself to
share in a moral citizenship
with this lend, which we will
ever love."
For Pope Paul and for India
it was a week which broke all
precedent. Never before, until
Pope Paul flew to Bombay for
the 38th International Eucha-
ristic Congress, had a reigning
Pontiff journeyed so far to the
East. Never before in Bombay
had such crowds greeted a for-
eign visitor--surpassing those
which turned out for Eisen-
hower, Khruschev or Queen
Elizabeth.
To the people of India he
was "the holy man from
Rome," and they greeted him
by shouting "Jai Pope Sahib"
(Hail Mr. Pope). The Pope,
often weary but smiling, re-
sponded with "Jai Hind"
(Hail India), and met his
hosts with a gesture of folded
hands which the Indians call
"namaste."
The trip began on a rainy
morning at Rome's Fiumicino
airport December 2. The Pope
had been up the whole night
working on telks he would give
in India. To a small crowd at
the airport, before he boarded
his Air India jet, he said he
was making the trip as a "re-
ligious testimony to Christ Our
Lord."
Once airborne, the Pope
rested for a while, then
strolled back to the rear com-
partment to greet passengers
and newsmen. For the sur-
prised reporters it was an-
other first--a papal press con-
ference. He told an Italian
Communist newsman there
would be "many fine dia-
logues ahead of us."
The plane touched down for
one hour in Beirut, Lebanon,
where 15,060 persons turned
out to greet the Pope, despite
the fact that many Arabs still
resent the ecumenical coun-
cil's actions regarding the
Jews. Pope Paul spoke with
Lebanese President Charles
Helou and Greek Orthodox
Bishop Elias Saliby at the air-
port terminal, then departed
once more for India.
If the reception at Beirut
was enthusiastic, the welcome
at Bombay was beyond de-
scription. Only a small per-
centage of India's population is
Christian, but tens of thousands
were at the airport to greet
the Pope. Other thousands lined
his route into the city.
When the door of the jetliner
was opened, Pope Paul, wear-
ing a white cassock and a scar-
let cape, was the first to
appear. He was erected by
Valerian Cardinal Gracias, who
was his host in Bombay, by
several other cardinals, by In-
dian Vice President Zakir Hus.
sain and Prime Minister Lal
Bahadur Shastri.
Then began the slow 12-mile
trip into the city where a
crowd estimated at one million
persons pressed forward along
the route to catch a glimpse
of the honored visitor. Many
Hindus believe the sight of a
holy man sanctifies the on-
looker. Often the oolice had to
struggle to keep the papal mo-
torcade from being engulfed.
Pope Paul's first stop was
the outdoor Oval where the
main functions of the Eucha-
ristic Congress were held. He
blessed a group of newly-

DEMANDS POLITICAL
Overthrow of Vietnam
Regime, Buddhist Aim
By Rev. Patrick O'Connor
SAIGON (NC)It was
late on the tense night of
last August 24. Gen. Ngu-
yen Khanh, then presi-
dent, was parleying with
two brown-robed Buddhist
bonzes (monks) in the head-
quarters of the Vietnamese
armed forces. They and their
colleagues had set students
demonstrating against the gov-
ernment.
Now they were stating their
terms. The general hesitated.
Then one of them, Thich (Ven-
erable) Tri Quang made his
threat. He had two bonzes
ready to burn themselves, if
General Khanh would not yield.
He yielded.
A week later, he yielded
again; this time to an ultima-
tum given by the second of the
two bonzes, Thich Tam Chau.
The demands each time were
essentially political.
Political aims and question-
able methods have lowered
ambitious Buddhist bonzes
here in the esteem of many
Buddhists and non-Buddhists.
The activities of these bonzes
have been criticized as neith-
er good Buddhism nor good
citizenship.
The bad impression is not
lessened by statements that
sound like double-talk to many
others. On November 23 and
24, for instance, Buddhist lead-
ers issued statements disown-
ing responsibility for antigov-
eminent riot, while assailing
the government and calling the
youthful rioters "heroic" and
"innocent."
The recent riots, unmistak-
ably fomented and encouraged
by Buddhist bonzes were aimed
at overthrowing a government
formed only three weeks ear-
lier. The reason given was that
it did not meet the wishes of
"the people," especially Budd-
hists.
No poll had been taken, or
could have been taken, of the
people or even of the Buddhists.
The truth was that a relative-
ly small number of bonzes
wanted men of their choice in
the government.
They wanted them in key
ministries -- notably those of
justice, social welfare and in-
formation. Thich Tam Chau's
choice for minister of informa-
tion was the editor of an anti-
Catholic, vehemently p r o-
Buddhist newspaper, Ha nh
Dong (Action). This paper has
been suspended by the govern-
ment. for publishing material
dangerous to public security.
(Though known for its shrill
pro-Buddhist partisan tone,
Hanh Dong, when quoted in the
Saigon Press Analysis of the
U. S. Information Service, is
described as just "an indepen-
dent and influential newspa-
per." The Catholic-edited Xay
Du'ng is quoted as "a pro-Ro-
man Catholic newspaper" and
no more.)
Political bonzes do not hesi-
tate to use dangerous measures
against their country's govern.
ment in time of war. On No-
vember 28 Thich Tam Chau an-
nounced an "all-out" non-cooper-
ation campaign against Prime
Minister Tran van Huong's gov-
ernment.
Seated with him at the press
conference and obviously acqui-
escing, was Thich Ho Giac,
who as deputy chief Buddhist
chaplain holds the rank of ma-
jor in the Vietnamese armed
forces.
The bonzes' interpreter for
a foreign journalist was Tran
Quang Thuan, who until the
end of October was minister
of social welfare. He said he
had come to the bonze's press
conference just as a specta-
tor.
Late on the night of Novem-
ber 2, after a day of two vio-
lent demonstrations that had
started from the Buddhist cen-
ter, the former minister of so-
cial welfare -- who is also a
former bonze -- and the former

Shift in Birth Control
Policy Announced by AMA
MIAMI BEACH, Fla.
(NC) The American
Medical Association has
called for support of birth
control programs, includ-
ing those of nonmedical groups
and community.sponsored wel-
fare agencies.
This change in policy, advo-
cated by the association's trus-
tees and accepted by its House
of Delegates, is a shift from a
neutral policy on the question
of birth control and sexual be-
havior adopted 26 years ago.
The House of Delegates, com-
posed of 228 members elected
by state societies, met here De-
cember 2 with some 5,000 mem-
bers of the association's 204,-
000 members.
"There should be no re-
tion was urged to provide "ade-
quate medical direction" to the
formerly disapproved nonprofes-
sional birth-control agencies.
The resolution states that
birth control information and
assistance should be made
available to all patients requir-
ing such aid, but this should
be in keeping with the religious
convictions of the patient. The
delegates drew no preference
between birth-control aid dis-
pensed by private doctors and
community - sponsored health
services.
The AMA acted on a re-
port of a committee that in-
eluded Dr. Mary S. Calderone,
a leader in the planned par-
enthood movement in New
York. The committee called
on the AMA to modernize its
"An intelligent recognition of
the problems that relate to hu.
man reproduction, including the
need for population control, is
more than a matter of respon.
sible parenthood; it is a matter
of responsible medical prac.
rice," the committee claimed.
The trustees said they have
approved on their own author-
ity a new brochure on all
aspects and methods of birth
control -- drugs, chemicals,
devices and the rhythm meth-
od approved by the Catholic
Church.
A major concern of the dale..
gates was to reiterate AMA
support of the Kerr-Mills Act
and to set up its opposition to
proposed health-care programs
of the Johnson Administration,
given the go-ahead for
agencies to demand compliance
with the civil rights law from
governments and private agen-
cies taking part in U. S, pro-
grams.
Under title 6 of the law
passed earlier this year, racial
discrimination is banned from
programs getting Federal aid.
Regulations for compliance
cover programs administered
by the Departments of the In-
terior, Agriculture, Labor and
Health, Education and Welfare;
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency, the General Services
Administration and the National
Science Foundation.
President Johnson's announce-
ment December 4 said: "All key
Federal officials have been in-
structed to cooperate with state
and local governments and with
private organizations and in-
dividuals participating in Fed-
eral programs to insure that
there is complete understand.
ins of the regulations and com-
pliance with the Congressional
mandate."
Medal Given
Prisoners
Nego÷iafor
CINCINNATI (NC) --
James B. Donovan, New
York attorney, was pre-
sented with the St. Francis
Xavier Medal by Xavier Uni-
versity here and likened to the
16th century missioner-saint
for whom the award is named.
The Rev. W. Eugene Shiels,
S.J.: chairman of the univer-
sity's history department, said
of the medalist, who negotiated
the release of Cuban prisoners
captured in the abortive anti-
Castro Bay of Pigs invasion:
"He restored to the 20th
century one of the Church's
ancient corporal works of
mercy that is all but forgotten
by modern man- he ran-
somed the captives at great
personal peril and sacri-
fices."
Donovan, a Fordham Univer.
sity alumnus who also nego-
tiated with Soviet Russia for
the release of Francis Gary
Powers, U-2 plane pilot, and
two other Americans, was hon-
ored at the annual observance
of St. Francis Xvier's feast
day by the Xavier Alumni As-
sociation.
The medal has been award-
ed annually since 19M to a
person exemplifying the spir-
it of St. Francis Xavier.
In his acceptance speech,
Donovan called ov American
businessmen to help "remove
the seeds of Communism" in
Latin America by making in-
vestments that will improve
working conditions and wages
of Latin American workers.
Kids Are
No÷ Kids
At Cal
By George N. Kramer, Ph.D.
Overshadowing in sig-
nifi,cance all other news
during the week was the
disgraceful spectacle on the
University of California Ber-
keley campus.
It displayed all the trappings
and characteristics of the "stu-
dent" demonstrations that took
place against the House Com-
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties meetings in San Francisco
in May, 1960.
There was even a striking
resemblance of many of the
participants as well as a simi-
larity of their behavior, al-
though this time the purported
reasons for the lawless vio-
lence were different.
In 1960, the protest was
against the HCUA session to
inquire into certain Com-
munist activities in Northern
California; this time, under
the auspices of a new organi-
zation called the Free Speech
Movement, the issue is unre-
stricted "political" activity
on the campus.
Almost 800 sit-ins were finally
forcibly removed from Sproul
Hall, the administration build-
ing, on orders from Governor
Brown last week after they had
occupied the premises for more
then a day and a night.
Many resisted arrest for tres-
pass, whereupon the familiar re-
frain of "police brutality" rent
the air, as was the case in 1960.
Governor Brown called the
