Pope Paul Praises U.S. Charity, Love Of Church Vatican City — More than 1.- 000 Americans were received in an audience (June 29) by Pope Paul VI when he received the four new U.S. cardinals in the Vatican. The Pope paid high tribute to U.S. Catholics and to their ef- forts in all fields of Catholic life Prior to receiving the new cardinals — Patrick Cardinal OTJoyle of Washington. John Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia. John Cardinal Cody of Chicago and Francis Cardinal Brennan. who has headed the Roman Ro- ta, high Church court — and the hundreds of friends, fami- lies and well-wishers who were in Rome for the occasion, the Pope received privately Francis Ordinal Spellman of New York and James Francis Cardinal Mclntyre of Los Angeles who had come to Rome for the cer- emonies. The text of the Pope** talk to the Americans follows: Ven- erable Brothers, dear sons and daughters: We are particularly pleased to meet with you today because in mis way we can share with you the Joy and hapDiness of these past few days whicb have seen four very worthy repre- sentatives of the American hi- erarchy raised to the rank of cardinal in the Church. At this moment we feel that we are in contact with aU Cath- olics in the United States, for before us. we are told, every sector of your grand country is somehow present in you. The Catholic Church in your country has distinguished itself in many ways, and the new cardinals reflect these magnifi- cent qualities so admired by all. The United States has set an example by extending aid to the suffering and to developing nations aU over the world. Car- dinal O'Boyle at the urging of the hierarchy helped to organ- ize a very efficient a'nd effec- tive relief organization which still today in times of strife and calamity, lends a helping hand to the victims of war, tragedy and suffering. This national effort is one of the brightest episodes of your his- tory, and we hope that it win serve to inspire others in deed as well as in word. The Church in America has been, loyal to the Holy See and has been gen- erous with its assistance of the worldwide programs of the Oiurch. It has never stinted in giving service. Cardinals Bren- nan Krol and Cody have serv- ed in varying capacities before, during and after the ecumeni- cal council. Their unselfish service reflects the dedication, loyalty and affection of the en- tire Church in America. We are most grateful for this and we cannot but take this occasion to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation and to pray that it win serve to encourage others. We know the United States wen because we have been for- tunate in having the opportun- ity to visit there several times. We came to know the great institutions: educational, charit- able, social and religious, and we have admired them. The Church flourishes in your coun- try and we pray that its fruit win be an increase in saintly vocations. The Church must in- fluence society with its message and this is possible through a thoroughly Christian formation of its members. We urge all of you to continue to be model citizens motivated by the high- est principles of Christian pa- triotism and love. Would that it were possible for us to thank each one of you personaUy. This is not possible, but we wish to assure you that the Pope has great admiration for you and true affection for all. We bless you, and. through jrou. we send our greetings and our blessings to your loved ones at home, to an our beloved children and to your feHow cit- izens May God continue to look graciously upon your country and to pour out upon it H i s richest blessings of peace, hap- piness and prosperity Bishop DMMHM Atttids Fordban Tktology Seniiar Hew York — Same 38 of the U.S. bishops who took part in Vatican Cduncfl II met at Ford- ham University for a week-long seminar with theologians to dis- cuss the results of their handi- work.

Hungry Men Do Not Work Well, Declares CRS Bishop New York — The head of the U.S. Catholic overseas aid ag- ency warned government offic- ials and leaders of other vol- untary relief agencies of dang- er in minimizing the import- ance of direct relief programs that provide the basic neces- sities of life to the world's needy. Bishop Edward E. Swan- strom. executive director of Catholic Relief Services, stated: *'During the past several years, as opportunities to mount self-help and socio-economic de- velopment projects have in- creased I have become alarm- ed at the tendency among in- ternational social workers to downgrade the importance of direct distribution of relief sup- plies, such as food, clothing and medicines, to the impoverished overseas.'' Bishop Swanstrom explained: \If a needy person is to work or learn or contribute to the development of his community. his chances of doing so are minimal if his and his family's stomachs remain empty or when they do not have proper garments to protect themselves from the elements or if ade- quate medical care to heal their ailing bodies is not available \ To feed clothe and help cure the world's poor is fundament- al to efforts jhat will make them economically self-sTyffK- ient. he said Without basic necessity of life, these oeople cannot participate meaningfully in the more productive and re- generating self-help programs, the bishop added. \Catholic Relief Services was a pioneer in developing the Food-for-Work concept and. in cooperation with other Ameri- can voluntary agencies was in- strumental in having Congress amend the basic legislation that permitted U.S. Government do- nated foods to be used in Food- for-Work self-help efforts.\ Bishop Swanstrom said. \More and more, as our fund of experience grows, we are finding new ways of using food as an incentive in various self- help schemes, such as adult ed- ucation literacy courses, nu- trition proem ms leprosy rehn- for-Work self-help e f f o r ts.\ Bishop Swanstrom said. \Yet. food distribution pro- grams, such as those serving maternal-child walfare cases, pre school children, the aeed. infirm and h and ic a pried, stffl receive a high priority from Catholic Relief Services.\ the bishop declared \We continue to believe it most important that we furrvsh and distribute material relief supolie* wherever needed as an essential element of our pro- gram This has been true throuehout the auarter of a cen- tury that CRS has N*en bring- ing help to the impovprished and ne^dy of ?mHerprf\ile?^d lands It remains equally true today/' Bishop Swanstrom said. *> m .& _ -i. . . — & -*- ». —A -——-.—— A. «. *. .&.
