20 Courier-Journal — Friday, Oct. 11, 1968 Catholics' Conflicts Over Marriage Laws Surveyed Pacific Palisades, Calif.— \(RNS) — Catholic couples today reflect prevalent de- grees of conflict between their own attitudes toward marriage, sexuality and fam- ily planning and what they feel is expected of them as members of the Church, ac- cording to the results of a national survey. The survey, \A Study on Catholic Marriage in the Unit- States,\ conducted between November 1966 and April 1967, was released here by the Marriage and Family Re- search Project. The study sample, prepared by the Gallup Organization, Inc., included 1,042 Catholic households, \adequately rep- resenting those Catholics in the U.S. who identify them- selves with a parish.\ Communion frequency was used to separate the \active . Catholic\ from the \inactive Catholic.\ The survey also includes a study of Protes- tant marriages as represented by a control group of primari- ly church-going Protestants for purposes of comparison. • Catholics want to space or limit their children on the basis of their personal cir- cumstances and abilities but are not at all sure the Church accepts their desires as good or valid. • Catholics feel \that the official Church does not ac- cept the exercise of con- science. Their own views on responsible parenthood and mutual love arc potentially in harmony with teachings of Vatican II.\ • Sex in marriage is con- sidered important to both spouses and to the happiness of a marriage, but Church- approved methods of birth control are restrictive to the exercise or freedom of mari- tal sexuality. • The importance of sexual intercourse in marriage was ranked \very important\ by 45 per cent (some 6 per cent higher than the Protestant Kroup). Yet, the study points out, because the Church has his- torical emphasis on the su- periority of celibacy and o n procreation as the purpose of marriage, about 40 per cent of these. Catholics feel \all virtuous use of sexuality should embody self-sacrifice in the form of restriction or generous procreation.\ Rhythm was most frequent- ly named as the least satis- factory method of family planning by Catholics as a whole. Seve'njy-one per cent of Catholics pcnisonally approve of contraception, a majority of them (62 per cent) approve of divorce in certain circum- stances. Induced abortions, in certain circumstances, won ap- proval from 46 per cent of those surveyed. In summarizing their study the Marriage and Family Re- search Project discusses the survey relative to its impli- 7**&f*. cations for the future. They conclude: \Ideally it seems that Cath- olics would like to retain the strength of their religious identification and seek ap- proval and a u t h o r i t a tivc guidelines from official Church sources. There are a number of Catholics now suf- fering from guilt feelings or feelings of disobedience be- cause of their beliefs or be- havior, who wait for authori- tative approval to return to the sacramental life of their Church. \Catholics may find it dif- ficult and perhaps undesir- able to set aside their rev- erence for the authority of the Catholic Church on prac- tical matters of marriage but their unwillingness to suffer more conflict may in fact force the issue.\ Worker-Priest Promised -Vigo, Spain - (NC) — A thousand workers in this, northeastern port have asked their bishop to assign priest-workers among them. \We are filled with hope by the social en- cyclicals, the (Second) Vatican Council, and the re- cent promise from the (Spanish) Bishops' Confer- ence to assign more priests to the working classes, their petition said. \The priest's presence in shops and factories and his words and actions inspired by our own living, will enlighten our faith. Bishop Jose Lopez Ortiz promised to send priest-workers to the diocese of Tuy-Vigo, which has 334,000 Catholics.

The filming of \The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter,\ which was actually Carson McCul- ler's first novel written in 1940, carries \a tenuous thenie of the necessity of human love and understanding is por- trayed with deep compassion and sincerity on the part of all concerned,\ said NCOMP in a review. In the Film, Alan Arkin portrays John Singer, the deaf-mute, who seeks to bring peace and love to others, and when it appears to him that he has. beiio. unsuccessful, he shoots himself to death. \Singer's loss of hope is carefully built throughout the film, but this Is never really appreciated by his friends who are too concerned with their own troubles,\ NCOMP observed. \Some critics UTF - doubtedly will dismiss the film as n 'tear jerker,' grum- ble about its sentimentality, or pick holes in its plot con- struction. \Such c;iiping is out of touch with the essential value of the film, which resides in its human sympathy for people and the dignity of their person.\ Rut there hasn't been that much carping. \It has some flaws inherited from the nov- el, others growing out of ef- forts to adjust motivations ;ind attitudes in updating the story 20 years to the present.\ admitted \America's\ iVToirn Walsh There is already talk of ,i certain Academy Award nomi- nation for Arkin (who was nominated previously for \The Russians Are Coming\) \Carson MeCuller's first nov- el\ said \Newsweek's\ review er, \seems to have waited You Don't Have to Be Jewish Catholic Press Features New York — If you don't think Catholics and Jews have very much in common, just read this letter: Dear Rabbi, Why can't girls become rab- bis? For all we know, God may be a woman. It was signed Melissa B, Grade 5. In \Dear Rabbi,\ a collec- tion of letters-to-rabbis from Children and grownups, letter- collector Bill Adler makes a contribution to religious un- derstanding in the form of —humorous things—that—Jevfr- much information as possible on Jews and LSD?,\ wrote one. \Why did the rabbis in olden days wear beards? Were they religious hippies?,\ asked another. A third-grader named Joan wanted to know if i t was all right to bring a hippie to an interfaith breakfast; an 11- „year-old boy felt temple at- tendance would be increased with a monthly \prayer-in\; but a more woflcly Jewish girl asked: \Is it permissible to wear a mini skirt to Korn Kip- pur services?\ Rabbis, It seems from Ad- ler's collection, get no end of advice, particularly about Chapel Marks Pope's Words The new Ctiapcl of the Holy Spirit In St. John -St. Hugh Parish House of Boston's predominantly Negro district is decorated with a banner celebrat- ting a quotation from Pope Paul VI—\May the Holy Spirit Come and Give You the Joy of His Life-Giving Presence.\ The chapel was designed by Robert Gray of Liberia, West Africa, who resides in the parish.

(RNS) Cardinal Shehan Heads New Hospital Baltimore — (RNS) — A joint project of the Roman Catholic Baltimore archdiocese and the John Hopkins Medical Institutions came into real- ity with the dedication here of Good Samaritan —Hospital — write to their rabbis.. \Of the many letter books that this author has worked on, this, perhaps, was the most enjoyable,\ commented Adler; who ha-s produced such books as \Kids' Letters to the FBI,\ \Dear President John- son,\ \Dear Internal Revenue\ and \The Kennedy 'Wit.*' \As a Jew and a member of a New York Reform temple, I have continually been amazed at the wonders wrought by that mortal man—the rabbi.\ \Once when I was a young man, I toyed with the idea of becoming a Reform rabbi,\ Adler confesses, then jests: \I never made it, and frank- ly, after going through the hundreds of letters for this book, I am sure that had I made it. I would not have last- ed more than a few months.\ For, according to \Dear Rabbi\ (published by William Morrow & Co.), rabbis have to answer letters like: Dear Rabbi Cantor, We would like your honest opinion. Do you feel that a book review of the 'Valley of the Dolls' Is out of place at a Sisterhood meeting? Jewish youngsters apparent- ly ask. their rabbit quite a bit about hippies. \Could you tell me where I could find out as sermons.\In ray cpinion,\ said a young Jewlsli girl, \you should smile more when you are on the pulpit. It doesn't look like you enjoy your work.\ Well, not when they get a letter like this one from the chairman of the synagogue fi- nance committee: \We know that you have been stressing the importance of contributions in your week- ly sermons, but it is the com- mittee's feeling that we would be more successful if you were emotional when you talk about money.\ Just as blunt \was a request from a woman who asked her rabbi: \For your next sermon, could you speak about fidelity in marriage arid\ look right at my husband?\ A little Jewish boy wrote a request that probably gdl more attention. \Next Satur- day, instead of saying a prayer for peace on earth please say a prayer for peace in our house. My mother and father argue all the time.\ But of the nearly 100 letters in Adler's \Dear Rabbi,\ the favorite of Je-wlsh-Christian ecumenists has to be the one from a Jewish boy - informing bis\ rabbi ,:T that Mesus* N-was.. my favorite Jew.\ Dear Rabbi Solomon, Our little league team sure liopes you can come to the game on Sunday and sit in our dugout.
