;\ J Courier-Journal — Friday, June 14, 1968 IHM Compromise Sisters to Get Choice Between Two Groups Los Angeles — (BNS) — A tempo- rary compromise solution to the dis- pute between Francis Cardinal Mcln- tyre of Los Angeles and the Immacu- late Heart of Mary Sisters'has been \worked\buTBylispeiSaFVatican conv\ mision here. —The Sisters will.be divided into two groups; while they are not separate religious communities, they\ will nevertheless function as de facto con- gregations, individual nuns will have the option of joining either of the two groups. One group, under the direction of Sister Anita Caspary, will follow the decrees of the recent general chapter of the order which provides for lib- eral experimentation in the life style _and-work_of_nuns. — headquarters are located in the Car- dinal's diocese. At their August meeting the Sisters had attempted to follow the renewal ^rogranTof religiousnffe~ou1Hned at Vatican II by establishing an experi- mental program in place of the for- mer system of rigid regulations. The cardinal announced that none of the Immaculate- Heart Sisters who followed the new rules, and thus were not dressed in the traditional habit, would be allowed to teach in the schools of the archdiocese. In a decree dated Feb. 21, 1968, Hlldebrand Cardinal Antoniutl of the Sacred Congregation for Religious in Rome ruled that the Sisters: The second group, under the direc- tion of Sister Eileen MacDonald, will wear the traditional nun-type garb and follow the rules that existed be- fore the community's last general chapter. The special Vatican commission held several meetings with the par- ties concerned before issuing the new decree. It will continue to function and to assist the groups in their pro- grams. Only the group under Sister Eileen MacDonald would be teaching in the parochial school system of Los An- gles. The other Sisters would be work- ing in the seven other dioceses where me order has houses as_ welL as at Immaculate Heart College. Their new rules adopted by the Sis- ters at their general chapter last Au- gust brought to a head the contro- versy between Cardinal Mclntyre and the 560-member congregation whose —==-^ustnno1~we^n^lay^otBe87\blJf a distinctive uniform garb. — Must meet daily for prayer in common, including hearing Mass to- gether. — Must continue their work of edu- cation and not go into a variety of works. — Are required to collaborate with the local ordinary (bishop). This decree was objected to by the Sisters. A petition of appeal was then addressed by the nuns to the Pope, asking him to reverse this decree. A Pontifical Commission was ap- pointed by the Vatican to look into the dispute. The members of the commission are Archbishop James V. Casey of Denver, Bishop Thomas A. Donnellan, Archbishop-designate of Atlanta, Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Breitenbeck of Detroit, and Father Thomas R. Gallagher, O.P., of the staff of the Apostolic Delegation.

The plot of 11 acres will eventually be the site of the church, hall and rectory. \The next four or five weeks will mainly be a time of looking things over and visiting homes in the area, I do hope to celebrate daily Mass In parishioners' homes right away. Meanwhile, I'll be living at the St. William House at King's Prep on Buffalo Rd.\ Father Steger believes that some 500 to 600 Catholic families reside in the area of his new assignment. \The majority of these people now attend St Theodore's, so I will be familiar to most «f them and this will help me In making the census,\ ho said.

Cooke of New York was named by President Johnson to a special commission to study the causes and means to end hatred and violence in America. The President announced the com- mission in a nationally televised ad- dress (June 5), just hours before Sen. Robert F. Kennedy died. \ The commission, headed by Milton Eisenhower, brother of the former president, was charged with finding out ''why we inflict such suffering on ourselves.\ The President called the shooting another example of \lawlessness and violence in our country. \It would be wrong — it would be self-deceptive — to ignore the connec- tion between lawlessness, hatred and this act of violence. \It would be just as wrong—just as self-deceptive — to conclude from this -act that our .country js^sick..—.. that it has lost its sense of balance. its sense of direction, even its com- mon decency. \Two hundred million Americans did not strike down Robert Kennedy last night — any more than they struck down John F. Kennedy in 1963, or Martin Luther King in Aprir of this year.\ The President's concern was rather \that in a climate ot extremism, of disrespect for law, of contempt for the rights of others, violence may bring'down the very best among us.\ In addition to Eisenhower and Archbishop Cooke, the commission members are: Albert Jenner, Chicago attorney and former president of the American Bar Association; Patricia Roberts Harris, former ambassador to Luxembourg; Eric Hoffer, long- shoreman-philosopher; Rep. Hale Bogg of Louisiana; Sen Philip Hart of Michigan; Sen. Roman Hruska of Nebraska (who-feas opposed gun con- trol laws); Rep. William M. McCul- lough of Ohio, and Federal District Judge A.

But on Trinity Sunday, they left the public behind them as they ac- companied the Kennedy family to St Luke's church, the family's parish church here In suburban McLean. , Appropriately, they came to the 6 p.m. Mass — the parish's weekly folk Mass — in the auditorium which serve St. Luke's, like so many other suburban parishes, as its church. This was the Mass which Robert Kennedy and his family attended often. The music is provided by the guitars of a half-dozen talented teen- agers and, as the celebrant of the Mass, Father Robert French noted in his homily, Senator Kennedy thought they were talented, too — he often strode to the front of church after Mass to shake their hands and ex- press his appreciation. But today there, were poignant dif- ferences — the entrance and reces- sional hymns were the same: the Bat- tle Hymn of the Republic. ^ The teen-agers led at the entrance; Andy Williams sang the recessional. Immediately before, he also sang the 23rd Psalm: \Though I' walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil ... I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.\ Instead of the usual meditation fol- lowing the Gloria the youth who led the singing improvised on the words of George Bernard Shaw, which Sen- ator Kennedy used so often in his. speeches: \Some men look at things the way they are and say why. \I dream of things that never -were and say why not\ POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT POUTHCAl ABYEHTISEMENT POUT1CAI AOVEATISEMENT POUTICAt ADVERTISEMENT POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT f/ Vote Row B for the Real Republicans ORLEANS COUNTY MONROE COUNTS 37th Congressional District Gordon A.
