BLOOD B.4NK
By THOMAS COOK
John Gugle, president of the
sophomore class recently an­nounced
the tentative plans for
the first sophomore parents
weekend to be held November
17 and 18. The weekend, ac~
cording to Mr. Gugle, was re-­quested
by last year's senior
,parents' with the hope that the
parents of a class would have"
an opportunity to meet each
other before senior year. The
registration fee for the week­end
will be ten dollars per par­ent.
This will cover expenses
for all activities except m()tel
fees and the Saturday dinner.
An sophomores desiring to
bring dates to the weekend may
do so for the additional charge
of five dollars.
The agenda for the weekend,
although subject to possible fu­ture
alterations, is the follow­ing:
Saturday: Registration for
all parents and guests will
beg i n at 2:00 o'clock and
continue to 4:00.. During this
period there will be a tea held
in the Loyola' Lounge, where
the parents shall be given the
opportunity to meet -with vari­ow,
me~bers of the faculty..
From:4:30 to 6:00; cocktail
parties wiiI be held· at several

Thus, recognized credits would
be awarded.
Locations Considered
Two sites are being examined·
as possible locations. First,
Amiens, France, where the
newly-constructed Jesuit college
will accommodate about 30 male'
students. Because of its proxim­ity
to ~riS (llh hours by train),
it affords an opportunity for
one to experience the cultural
treasures of the capital on week­end
excursions. Aside from ath­letic
fields, the new college has
an Olympic-s i zed swimming
pool.
The second campus, to accom­modate
25 girl students, is in
southwestern France. The pro­fessors
will be native French­men
and there will be the usual
opportunities to travel and con­tact
Europeans.
Costs, Applications
Participation in the program
will be av'ailable a,t an economi­cal
cost. Seven hundred dollars
will include tuition, room -and
board, some excursions, qnd a
round-trip flight.
Preliminary inquiries should
be addressed to Rev. Victor F.
Leeber, S.J., Chairman of the
Modern Languages Department.

Prexy and undergrad, male and female, late and soon, fair

tate.
GLOOM AT THE TOP
No, friends, Prexy can't get to you. It is up to you to get to
him. CaR on him at home. Just drop in unannounced. He will
naturally be a little shy at first, so you must put him at his
ease. Shout, "Howdy-doody, sir! I have come to bring a little
sunshine into your drear and blighted life!" Then yank his
necktie out of his v.est and scamper goatlike around him until
he is laughingmerrily along with you.
Then hand him a package1l,nd say, "A little gift for you, sir."
"For me?" he will say, lowering his lids. "You shouldn't
have." .
"Yes, I should," you will say, "because this package is
a carton of Marlboro Cigarettes, and whenever I think of
Marlboro, I think of you."
"Why, hey?" he will say curiously.
"Because Marlboros have taste, and so do you," you will
reply. .
"Aw, goon," lie will say, blushing furiously.
"It's true," you will say.. "Moreover, Marlboro has a lUter,
and so do you."
"In my swimming pool, you mean," he will say.
"Yes," you will say. "Moreover, Marlboro has a soft pack,
and so do you."
"My limp leather brief case, you mean," he will say.
"Yes/' you will say•. "Moreover, the Marlboro box baS a
flip-top,·and so do you." .
"But I don't have a Hip-top," he will say.
"But you will," you will say. "Just light a Marlboro, and
taste that tasty taste, and you will surely flip your top."
Well sir, you will have many a good chuckle about that; you·
may be sure. Then you will say, "Goodbye, sir, I will return
soon again to brighten your lorn and desperate life."
"Please do," he will say. "But next time, if you can possibly
mana.ge it, try not to come at four in the morning."

Ob, s~, you've been busy, what with going to classes, doing
your homework, catching night crawlers, getting married­but
can't you pause for just a moment and give thought to that
dear, dedicated, lonely man in the big white house on the hill?
I refer, of course, to the Prexy.
(It is .interesting to note here that college presidents are al­ways
called "Prexy." Similarly, trustees are called "Trixie."
Associate.professors are called "Axy-Pixy." Bursars are called
"Foxy-Woxy." Students are called "Algae.")
But I digress. We were speaking of the Prexy, a personage at
once august and pathetic. Why pathetic? Well sir, consider how
Prexy spends his days. He is busy, busy, busy. He talks to
deans, he talks to professors, he talks to trusteees he talks to
alumni. In fact, he talks to everybody except th~ one group
who could lift his heart and rally his spirits. I mean, of course,
the appealingest, endearingest, winsomest group in the entire
college-you, the students.
It is the Prexy's sad fate to be forever a stranger to your
laughing, golden selves. He can only gaze wistfully out the
window of his big white house on the hill and watch you at your
games and sports and yearn with all his tormented heart to bask
in your warm'th. But how? It would hardly be fitting for Prexy
to appear one day at the Union, clad in an old rowing blazer
and cry gaily, "Heigh-ho, chaps! Who's for sculling?" ,

Mr. O'Neil To Address
Trumbull Lions Club
,In every age man has attempted to find Christ in his life.
Each activity has been seen in the context of Chris~'s participa­tion
in man's life. To find this participation requires an aware­ness
of the fullest meaning of one's life. Activity, vitality, know­ledge,
emotion and an awareness of the limitations as well as
the wonders of the world are prerequisites. This is the scope of
possibility that exists in the mod~rn world for the layman. No
longer has the layman to deal with the Church as a separate
entity. The new era of joint fulfillment by the Church and lay­man
is evolving from theory to actuality.
Considerable discussion has been heard recently on the
place of the layman in the Church. The preparation of th~ Vati­can
Council has prompted considerable comment on the respon­sibility
of the layman to the Church and the need of the Church
for the layman.
It would seem from all this that the layman i.;; finally gaining
a place of importance after centuries of efliort in this direction.
This is completely misleading. The layman is the Church and
always has been. The layman has not always been working for
his place in the Church, however. The layman has permitted
himself to be dominated and moulded; has endorsed a passive,
non-commital attitude toward the Church. He has not always
been aware of his place in the Church.
PARTICIPATION AND AWARENESS
'I.1he aspects of this problem, participation and responsibility,
are now causing the shift of emphasis which has begun to place
importance on the layman as an integral part of the Church.
'In the modern context of secularism, agnosticism and interna­tional
strife 'a strong Church is needed to counteract these prob­lems
for Man. A strong Church can only be achieved through
unity and cooperation of all its members.
Cooperation has been indicated by the Church and by active
lay groups. One need not cite the Unam Sanctam or the' Liturgi­cal
movement to realize this.
Unity is emphasized by the re-emergence of the doctrine of
the mystical body. All of the Christian community are part of
the strength and power of the Church. The cooperation of the
laity and .the priesthood is re-emphasized by the increasing role
of the layman in the affairs of the Church.
aUE'STION FOR THE LAYMAN
The problem would seem to have been solved. Certainly
the power and attractiveness of these concepts put into actuality
gives the Church renewed s't'rength and a modern immediacy.
However, the one postulate that is needed for all this is that the
'layman is ready, active and interes'ted in his spiritual and
intellectual life as well as his material gains. For too long the
world has felt the influence of the individualism of the Protestant
Reformation. Is the layman interested in cooperation and unity
when his training and thought has been geared to a personal,
intimate relation' between God and Man? Is the layman able to
see the virtue and need for community participation in both the
spiritUlaI and material life of the Church? Is the layman
interested?
.Perhaps the idea is that participation is achieved through
the PTA, the Parish ,Ushers' Guild and a contribution'to the
building fund. While these activities are necessary and worth­while
they completely overlook a more fundamental area of
participation. This is the layman's role in the spiritual li~e of
his parish and the Church. Vague glimmers of this spirit are
found in some parishes that foster community response to the
prayers of the Mass, permitting the layman an awareness of the
immediacy of the Mass and the nature and motivation of his
participation. This is now considered the elementary step of
the involvement of the layman in Church affairs.
What areas can the Church and the layman further investi­gate
that would be of mutual benefit? 'Dhe intention of the
current Va,tican Council to explore the possibilities for increased
participation by the la:v.man is well known. The more important
problem is what the layman intendS, The opportunity has been
presented, what is the reaction to be?'

International Awareness is
the theme for the Sodality of
Our Lady of Fairfield during the
1962-63 year. This is the first
time that the Sodality has in­corporated
a theme as the basis
of its work.
There are three aims to this
theme: (1) sanctification of self;
(2) sanctification of others; and
(3) defense of the Church. These
themes will be implemented by
a personal awareness of the
Mystical Body and all its impli­cations.
The various committees
of the Sodality will be required
to do as much work as possible
for his theme as a focus for
their regular duties.
There will be two off campus
groups, "apostolates", who s e
work will deal with interna­tional
students and the Puerto
Rican youth in Bridgegort.
The Sodality will also try to
give its members a thorough
foundation regarding the En­cylicals,
particularly the social
Encyclicals and those dealing
with the Mystical Body and
the Liturgy. In addition to these
Papal works the Sodality will
read and discuss books written
about the laymen such as

Trip to Holy Cross. B.C.
Moore went to Holy Cross on
Friday, October 19,th to speak
with the editors of the CRJU­SADER.
The following Sunday
he spoke with one of the co­Editors
of .the HE'IGHrrS, the
Boston College weekly. "The
representatives of both publi­cations
thought that the STAG
could make the change-over.
But the major differences be­tween
the two older schools and
Fairfield are essentially the rea­sons
for the two papers' weekly
publication. Both B.C. and Holy
Cross have more than a thou­sHnd
students on-campus - this
is a huge reservoir of talent for
any activity. And this number
on-campus supports the second
factor of a plethora of establish­ed
extra-curriculars to provide
newsworthy events for the paper
to publicize. Fairfield lacks these
two elements - we have about
six hundred on-campus of
which almost half are Fresh­men.
Of·all the clubs and groups
few can guarantee front page
news years after year.
This is not meant to be a
diatribe: we are new and both
factors need time." Declining to
specify his personal decision,
the Editor opened the positive
arguments: "Going· wee k 1Y
would guarantee available and
campus-wide publicity for any
activity or program. More fre­quent
publication may~serve to
help qnify the school more. The
challenge of publishing a re­spected

is expected to be made. The
Fund began (Thursday, Nov. 1)
under the direction of State
Senator John J. Relihan.
The graduates hope to surpass
last year's initial effort of 71
per cent participation and
$37,000 in contributions, Mr.
Relihan said.

to James C. Moore, '64, STAG

"The Editors have and are

this year by Bob Richardson,
'63, discussed tentative plans for
thE' coming year during the past
meeting. With the aid of the
Club's new moderator, Mr. Gor­don

being contacted to speak on

State Social Worker exams to
be held on campus are being
worked out with Mr. Tartaro.
The club, for the first time in
its history, is also planning a
social event to take place on
Nov. 9.
The results of. a survey car- .
ried out during the past semes­ter
proved conclusively, a fad
which the club is attempting to
cOllvey, that the study of Soci­ology
is not ex;clusively a pre­paration
for becoming a social
worker.
The club which meets on the
first and third Mondays of the
month welcomes all new mem-·

field of Sociology. To help those
new in Sociology courses, the
club has drawn up and dis:tri­buted
a list of periodicals avail­able
in our library concerning
the field of Sociology.

Edward Brennan: "Whether
or not the President was tardy
in his action, is not the ques­tion.
The fact is that the United
States has indeed tasted the
sweetness of renewed prestige
a.nd new found propaganda.
Only the President can decide
if further action is necessary.
Through the vast amount of in­formation
which he has at his
disposal, he is, by far, the best
judge of the situation."
Frank J. Klecha: "I agreed
with the President on a block­ade

with those Congressmen
who advocate an invasion of
Cuba. I can see no reason for
invading Cuba at present, be­cause
Russia would probably

Onion Patch
Does the owner of this voice in reality feel superior to the
Harvard man? I think you'll agree the opposite is true. Like
many other things in life, a college's merit can often be measured
by the number of petty jealous attacks on it. Isn't being attacked
far better than being ignored?
This inferiority complex is both the cause and the effect
of many features we find on this campus. The complex causes
us to misplace our values in an attempt to cover the gap we
see, whether imagined or real, between ourselves and "name"
colleges. This is true particularly regarding social functions
and prestige projects. '
, The immediate function which I have in mind, and which
in fact started me thinking about the situation, is the coming
Sophomore Parents' weekend, which I understand is modeled
after the Senior Parents' weekend.
In an attempt to imitate more "exclusive" colleges we
go one step beyond delUding outsiders and ourselves; lI()~
the victims are our parents. We put on a really sophisticated
weekend, complete with social activities; cock,tail parties, and a
fa,bulous dance at a place with the far-out name, of Glorietta
Manor.
Is this what we really are? Wouldn't our parents rather
see Fairfield University, for better or for worse? Of courSe· it
doesn't matter though, because they foot the bill for ,our
grandiose scheme to not show them what we are and what we're
doing. '
The Parents' weekend is nothing, however, compared to the
Carnival or Dogwood. On these occasions we hire big names
and schedule fifty events around an hour sleep, and think we're
just as good as the Ivy League.
We have Secretary Ribicoff or Governor Dempsey come
to Fairfield, but we fail to take an interest in the daily workings
of government. We have Dame Judith Anderson on campus,
but fail to cultivate the daily appreciation of culture that would
welcome such an event.
And in carrying out these prestige projects we think we
are dispelling our inferiority complex. But we only add to it
when we see lack of attendance, yet -clamor for more such
projects, The effect is a worse complex. .
I am confident, however, that the grass roots of our school
are slowly developing the values that will replace the empty
shell of our prestige proje,cts, When this happens' we shall have
a better foundation than any college has today. I know I came
to Fairfield because I decided that it is definitely a superior
school, though not for the reasons many would think. Perhaps
more on this another ,time. '

When a man talks, thinks or
writes about himself he affirms
he is living out his life and pur­suing
his vocation: but in this
recently published, autobiogra­phy,
"More Lives Than One,"
Joseph Wood Krutch, makes
claim to the title. What he says
no one will deny, for he is stu­dent,
teacher, literary critic,
editorial writer, drama critic,
philosopher and. naturalist. The
vitality of his own story comes
not from external events but
froyP within the man himself.
His life has been quiet, many
will say, and very dull reading;
but the reader will not find it
so because he will witness the
life of a man who says, "One
must live now or not at all; and
not to live at all is the greatest
of mistakes." Joseph Wood
Krutch has viewed with keenly
critical and mature philosophical
outlook the America of the past
forty or so years. His auto­biography
reflects clearly the
process and ,development of a
mind aware of the human con­dition
and optimistic about it.

JESUIT KEY FIGURE AT ECUMENIC;;,.L COUNCIL
Augustin Cardinal Bea, the President of the Va'tican's Secre­tariat
for the Union of Ohristians, is a key figure at the Ecumeni­cal
Council.
The Jesuit Cardinal, who 'describes himSelf, as a "realist",1------------------------------------------'---­has
warned the public agadnstthe hope that the' council might
result in an early reunion of the Roman Catholic Church and
other Christian Ohurches. He ho'pes for improvement in inter­church
relations, and that the Council will be; a 'step towards
unity, however dis,tant it may be.
The eighty-one year old, German-born Oardinal has acted
as the Vatican's chief repres-entative to, the, "s-epara<ted breth­ern".
It is he who has been instrumental in bring,ing observers
from the separated Christian Churches, to the Council:
Cardinal B-ea was born in Reidbohringen; Germany, in 188-1,
the only son af a wealthy contI1ador. As a young boy he became
critically ill, and ,,*as given only a few years to l:ive by his
doctors. Later he was told his heaith could not stand the climate
of Rome, where he has now lived 3,8 years.
He studied at the Universities of Freiburg, Berlin and Inns­bruck.
Since the Society of Jesus was outlawed in the German
Empoire, he joined the Society in The Netherlands, in 1902;
He was ordained in 1912 and helped to reestablish the Jesui,t
order in Germany, after the First World War. In 1924 he was
sent to teach in Rome; wh-ere, in 1930, he became rector of the
Pontifical Bible Institute for 29 years.
Pope Pius appointed him to be his confessor, the position he
held until the Pope's death.
In 1959 Pope John made him a Cardinal, and also appointed
him head of, the newly formed Secretariat for the Union of
Christians, .
'l1he Cardinal heads a staff of five pdests, one of whom is
an Amel'ican Paulist, Rev. Thomas Stransky, who says of the
Cardinal, "He is wining to listen, and does not stand on eti­quette."
The Cardinal has little trouble with languag,e barriers. In
addition to German, he speaks Latin, Italian, French and English.
He also understands Greek, H-ebrew and Ar.amaic.
'Cardinal Bea, who lis the only Jesuit in the ,College of Car­dinals,
and the first since the death of Cardinal Boeeto, Arch­bishop
of Genoa in 1946, "combines, in his difficult task, the dis­.
'ciplirie' of 'a' German; 'and' the discipline' of -a: Jesuit!',. aecol'd>ing

through the auspices of
John P. Monk's, '64, the uplifting

Dear Mr. Monks:
Thank you for your letter of
October 28th, in reference to an
elephant.
We are pleased to advise we
can furnish you with a young
female, . Indian elephant at
$3,500.00 (three thousand five
hundred donal'S) F.O.B.iN.Y.
At present we have a very
gentle ~lephant available - she
stands 5% feet, is very docile,
can be led, and in time will
wear a howdah. This animal is
not afraid of people since she
was in a park an summer where
thousands of people visited.
The elephant cannot stand
cold - therefore a house will
have to be built for her during
the winter months. Elephants
feed on hay - fruit - and vege­tables.
Thanking you once again for
your inquiry, and trusting we
may have the pleasure of serv­ing
you. If further information
is requested nlease do not hesi­tate
to call on us.
Very truly yours,
HENRY TRE·FF.l;ICH

To the Editor:
The temptation is to say that
whoever wrote the editorial en­titled
"Political Illiterates" must
be a political illiterate; either
that, or he. just hasn't bothered
to find out what the political
clubs on his campus are doing.
I am in a position to speak
unofficially of the Repub1ican
Club and officially of the Public
Affairs Club, and the editorial
I just mentioned demands that
I do it.
The Republican Club began its
year's ·activities,· of course, in
Orientation Week. About 20
freshmen were signed up at this
time, and at least two-thirds
of them, along with a good num­ber
of upper-classmen, have,
since that time, been engaged in
an almost unbelievably time­consuming
effort to do just what
the editorial accuses us of not
doing: gettmg out the vote. For
six consecutive nights, five mem­bers
of the Club called on the
phone from Fairfield's Repub­lican
headquarters the registered
Republicans in five of thetown's
thirteen districts. This is not ex­actly

of the men who wil:l represent the Frosh ·this season.
6'4" Pat Burke comes to F'airfield from Hartford
Fu!bliic High School. He was a member of the 1961 New

SALUTE: ALAN DANN
"My machine wants to talk to yours" is a familiar line
to Alan Dann (A.B., 1955). Alan is a Staff Assistant
for Data Communications Sales in Southerl) New
England Telephone Company's New Haven Office.
Alan came to his new promotion well prepared. He
began his three years with the company as a Com­mercial
Representative recommending communications
Peter Sztaba
My aim in running for the
office of secretary of the class
of 1966 is to gIve the student
body a greater voice in student
activities, both academic and
extra-curricular. If elected, I
will fulfill this aim by making
myself available at all times to
the student body for suggestions
and criticisms. All reasonable
suggestions and critIcisms will
be brought to the attention of
the other officers and t~e student
council.
I feel that, with the following
list of qualifications and experi­ence
with youth activities, I can
and will be a capable and wor­thy
officer of the class of 1966.
At the present time I am or
have been: President of the
New Britain, Conn. Deanery
Council CYO; member of the
Archdiocesan Council of Catho­lic
Youth, and chairman of its
recreation committee; delegate
to the National Council of Cath­olic
Youth convention in Buffalo,
November, 1961; delegate to the
New England Council of Catho­lic
Youth convention in Provid­ence,
June, 1962; member of the
New Britain Community Chest
Youth Council; photography
editor of high school newspaper;
recipient of the National Merit
Scholarship Committee Letter of
Commendation; and member of
high school varsity tennis team.
If elected, I promise, on my
honor, to fulfill all the duties of
an officer of the class of 1966,
and to live up to the expeda­tions
and trust placed in an offi­cer
elected by the class of 196:6.
Charles Lapinski
The Secretary of the class is
not just a person that takes
minutes of Council meetings or
one who is a figure head. He is
your reperseniative to the Stu­dent
Council. He is your voice,
having a knowledge of what is
needed and wanted by the class
he represents.
If elected, I 'would like to see
&irfield expand its intercollegi­ate
sports program. These Pl'O­,
grams are needed in the school,
not only as advertisement, but
more important - to achieve a
greater stude'nt participation
and interest in school aotivities,
especially since this interes,t has
been expressed by the SJ1:udents
themselves. To help achieve
this and other aims, I would
like to see the cl'ass of "66" in
one body working together ­not
split between on-campus
and off-campus students. The
experience'of living on another
campus for two years has given
me several ideas that could be
applied to Fairfield. I intend to
spread the jobs of committees
,and class functions among the
on-campus and off-campus stu­dents
to synthesize ideas and
to get the job well done.
I also feel that there should
be a greater number of social
events or mixers, or events
where participation is not re­stricted
to clubs or particular
classes.
Another important objective
is to make our class officers
mean something to our Student
Council. Too often it has been
said that" they are a rubber
stamp of the Student Council
with virtually no power and no
meaningful voice. We should
show that we have an ag,gressive
interest in campus affairs and
are functionaries of all the'stu­dents
we represent.
There are but a few of my
objectives for our class. With
your votes, and your vote of
confidence, I am sure these can
be accomplished.

individuals and as a whole will
benefit.
You have heard me speak to
you about the Fairfield calendar
and the fact that there are few
open dates left on it that will
fill the bill' of the Freshman
Class. This, however, is not an
impossible situation. For my part
I should like to propose a few
of the activities that my admin­istration
would pring about:
1. The Club 200 - this group
is yours simply by being at the
Stag games. We sit together,
cheer together, from the start
of out own Frosh game to the
final buzzer of the Varsity.
2. A dance - as full as the
calendar is we are planning a:
dance that would only cost a
single dollar. You dance -to your
favorite songs because there
will be a jukebox to choose
them from!
3. Stag Night -, meet your
friends. Play poker for basket­balls
or theatre tickets. Hot
dogs, hamburgers, soda at old­fahsioned
prices.
'These are only three of the
I
planned activities this class
could have this year. We have
many dther things to offer you.
Remember, however, that we
cannot expect to have a good
class, much less the best class,
unless we bring forth all our
ideas to the four class officers,
whoever they will be. A vote
for JIM CAHILL is a vote for,
SPIRIT and UNITY.

By HARRY RlSSETTO
Student Council President,

in West Hartford, Conn. and at­tended
Loomis Institute in
. Windsor. A senior math major

In our effort to get to ~now
lofr. McCarthy we questioned
him about Fairfield UniYersity
and the Student CouncU. We
have printed a summary of this
interview, thinking it an effec­tive
means of meeting this year's
Student CouncU President.
a. What is the function of the
Student Council?
A. The Stu:dent Council is the
organizational head of Cam­pus
Activities. As the repre­sentative
body of the student
organization it thereby ful­fills
its definition as the inter-
. mediary between the Student
Association and the Admin­istration.

greatest strength?

----------
ing herself up to date where
required, and by the wise or­ganization
of mutual co-opera­tion,
the Church will make
men, families and peoples
really turn their minds to
heavenly things ... In order,
however, that Catholic doc­trine
influence the numerous
fields of human activity, with
reference to individuals, to
families and to social life, it is
necessary first of all that the
Church should never depart
from the sacre.l patrim~my of
truth received 'rom the fath­ers.
But at the same time she
must ever look to the present,
.to new conditions and' new
forms of life introduced into
the modern world, which.
have opened new avenues to
the Catholic apostolate. For
this reason the church has not
been present inertly at the
marvelous progress of the dis­coveries
of human genius . . .
The .Christian, Catholic and
Apostolic spirit of the whole
world expects a step forward
toward a doctrinal penetration
and aJormation of consciences,
in faithful and perfect con­formity
with the authentic
doctrine, which, however,
should be studied and ~x­pounded
through the methods
of research and through the
literary forms of' modern
thought ...
Will the Church respond and
enlarge? Unless its answers to
this question are affirmative it
will have gathered to officially
open the postcChristian age.

Needed Recognitions
Until the Church attempts in
the twentieth century what
Thomas did in the thirteenth,
until the Church Christianizes
the wisdom of the new 'pagan-
. ism' as it did the 010., until it
effectively incorporates the in­dividual
layman into its official
liturgical and administrative
life, until it recognizes that
medieval simplicity and clerical­ism
are dead, the Church can
expect to make few real gains.
The irony of the situation is
that contemporary man' recog­nizes
his need of a cosmology
for he is aware that he inad-­vertantly,
willy-nilly, has de­stroyed
the old values and
standards, the traditional "public
philosophy." Christianity con-·
stitutes the basic stuff out of
which this cosmology could be
stated but the Church has guard­ed
its old formulation. The old
cosmology cannot be re-formu­lated
nor will it be acceptable
without recognition- of the exist­ence
and achievements of,' the
Freuds, Einsteins, Deweys and
Heideggers. Men such as these
can no more be ignored than
'Plato and Aristotle c 0 u I d
eighteen hundred years ago
when a Christian cosmology was
first formulated.
Unprecedented Task
Thus the twenty-first ecumen­ical
council, Vatican II, faces a
formidable task. It has no pre­cedents
to guide it. For never
before did the Church face a
world so permeated with un­belief,
reiativism, materialism
and radical individualism, all
advanced in the name of truth
and humanity. There have al­ways
been some within the
Church, however, who have be­come
increasingly aware that
the Church must come to grips
with reality. The Council must
encourage and give expression
to this increasing ferment in
Catholicism which recognzes a
basic -truism: that the only thing
which cannot he Christianized is
sin. With the aid of the Holy
Spirit, the faithful must initiate
a vast program of re~statement
and reform, renewal and mod­ernization.
There is an expanse
far more vast to conquer than Ir---..;..-----------------------. that which seemed so huge in
the days of Paul and Trajan.
But, paradoxically, the attitude
of this new world toward a re­newed
Christianity might well
be as sympathetic as it was some
seventeen centuries ago when
it had entered an earlier period
-of restiveness and dissatisfaction,
and when the Church spoke to
it in its own terms. ,
Fear' and isolation have been'
·characteristics of the Church
only in the pas,t three hundred
.years. There remain as inspira­tion
sixteen hundred years of
combat, creativity and conver­sion.
The -twenty-first ecumenic-al
council is in no position to do II~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
more than give official approba- I:
hon, impulse and direction to a
task which, like Cluny in the
tenth century and all other re­form
movements, -must begin
from the ground up. The process
will be slow and it must be
prudent. But it must be officially
launched.' Vatican II will go
down as the greatest in Church
history if it recognizes the prob-
__ lem - and exhorts Christians to
• -commence work on it. John
'XXIII has already given some
indication of his awareness of
the situation in which the
Church finds itself in'statements
which he pronounced during
solemn ceremonies inaugurating
the Council:
. . . Illuminated by the light
of this Council, the Church,
we confidently trust, will be­come
greater in spiritual rich­es,
and, gaining the strength
of new energies therefrom,
she will look to the future
without fear. In fact, by bring~
