Theodore's parish in Rochester, in 1967, he was chosen as Vicar General for Bishop Sheen after a democratic vote of the priests of the diocese rated him as most fit for helping the new Bishop. Asked about his \private\ life in a small, modestly furnished honte at 31 Woodbine Ave., Rochester, near St. Augustine's \Church the Bishop said: \There is a distinct advantage in living away from a parish rectory. I find I am more objective about paro- chial affairs not being tethered to a parish and more free to give my en- tire time to the diocese.\ He celebrates morning Mass at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church and Sundays makes parochial visitations, .offering Mass, preaching and greet-. mg\TJaTish15ners In 'a dTrfireht place each weekend in the northern part of the diocese. \It's been wonderful visiting some rural parishes where the people have never had a Bishop celebrate their Sunday Mass, or have the time to chat with them informally.\ When visiting mission churches, where there is no rectory, the Bishop en- joys having a family breakfast in a parishioner's home. \Hopefully the current contro- versy will prod parents to look more fully at what the program is attempt- ing to accomplish. The need for un- derstanding which the program- tries to develop in a wholesome and moral manner cannot be argued, and while parents are evaluating the program, they, should evaluate their own re- sponsibilities as well.\ Pleading for moderation in the argu- ment, the editorial concluded: \Par- ents and educators should not be stampeded into killing the program, which has admirable goals and meets practical needs.\ A lay group in Auburn, called JlMotoredei^-foi^-^^oYemeiit-^toHllfe — -Assemblyman-Frank Carroll^ Gates, has been quoted as declaring: \It's not our choice to take a life. I sympathize with rape and incest vic- tims, but the courts have been too lenient with their attackers. When we start putting more of these peo- ple away in Jail and demand stiffer penalties, the need for abortion will be-lessened.\ exists until the momenT of birth.\ Typical of legislators who have taken no stand on the issue is As- semblyman Charles Henderson. \I don't know yet how I'm going to vote. - I never make up my mind until I see a final bill on my desk.\ . Dr. Sweeney and Cusker continued- x < to urge voters to express their feel- ings in letters to their legislators. store Decency,\ announced Its for- mation \to expose and oppose\ the sex course in the diocesan school system. Among their published goals was this: \Too many parents have aban- doned\ their responsibilities for the training and the guidance of their children. This must be reversed.

The entering class'at St. Bernard's this year was \large and talented\ he said, and prospects for a good freshman class at King's Prep are promising. \Our two major religious orders expect to lose 52 leaching-Sisters be- Fore next Fall. This will bring hard- ship to many parochial school facul- ties,\ he said.
