We are one in One f7he first session of Vatican II has come and gone and shed its dawn-light on the Church. And while the Council secretariat prepares the schema for twenty subjects yet-to- be-discussed, the laity, the clergy, and those outside the Church are looking back and asking, thinking, or maybe just watching. Unity has assumed a new identity—the Council calls unity truth and is attempting to radiate it by being “a celebration of the union of those who live in Christ.” Sur- rounded by the straight-laced orthodoxy of the Roman Curia, Pope John subtly influenced a trend toward de- centralization. The Council fathers demonstrated the degree of this influence in the first session: a vote of 1,922 to 11 gave the world's bishops authority to decide in their own dioceses (without first consulting the Curia) whether or not to use the vernacular in certain parts of the Mass. Pope John and the Council are lighting the way for a new kind of unity, which has as its ultimate end a con- gregation of participating Christians. The participation desired includes a wide range: from Mass participation to participating in permanently healing the Christian schism. The Church is not the possession of the hierarchy . but the common responsibility of each of its mem- bers,” Pope John declared in “Ad Petri Cathedram. This encyclical, issued June 29, 1959, announced tht Council. It was the first time John XXIII officially men- tioned unity—“unity of the sacrifice of the Mass . .] is more beautiful when seen in different forms.” He was urging the celebration of Mass in accordance with loca customs around the world. Pope John is hoping to see this kind of reform take shape in even the most remote reaches of Catholicism Reforming the Church, however, is tediously slow, evei in this winged and rocket-propelled era. Fifteen year ago Pope Pius XII issued “Mediator Dei” which urge» lay participation in the Mass; still, it is possible to ente many a present-day Church on Sunday and find little o no such participation. Seeking “first the kingdom of God and His justice' is the aim that the Council is trying to inspire in th minds of Catholics. The light of the Council is illuminat- ing common knowledge with modern, applicable mean ings which will update the Catholic outlook. The '63 session of Vatican II will be fired from the embers of '62. Reflecting upon that session, Pope John said the Council enabled him “to hear the voice of the whole Catholic world. Perhaps the new-born light of that voice is the first step toward a sharing of what has been given us in the Church.

Subscrip- tions are $1.50 per year. AJhat is the relationship between femininity and womanliness? Does the glamor- ous seventeen-fiend have anything in common with a shirt-tailed volleyball player? To really compare femininity to womanliness, let's begin at the beginning. Little girls are said to be “feminine when they play with dolls instead of six- guns. And as they grow up, they're expected to prefer “feminine things, like fixing flowers, to “masculine things, like racing sports cars. But the charmer who sings, “I enjoy being a girl! is not always a woman. f her well-sprayed bouffant and careful interest in the football team are only a veneer to hide the void, or are there only because no one would notice her if they weren't, then she is not a woman, bier femininity is meaningless because it is shallow. To demonstrate the other extreme, w.e cast a painful glance at the sloppy-go- lucky teen who thinks the most “natural way is the best. Like J. D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield, she shudders at the world's “phonies, the hypocrites. And the only way, it seems, to beat the phonies, is to be their opposite. It is at this point that a girl's—a woman's—perspective must show her how and why being feminine fits with being womanly. She must realize that a real woman watches her looks because she knows other people have to. A woman considers the feelings of those with whom she lives and works. A woman adapts herself to society because she is concerned with people. (Not “humanity, Linus, but people as individuals.) And each person has a special claim on her because she needs to give. Women are for giving, whether the gift is a smile or life itself. his giving is grounded in loving. Father Graham talked to us about loving at the advent Mass. He said then that, “You should love your parents; the best way to do this is thoughtfulness. You should love your teachers. We need your love because we are trying to teach you to love. And most of all, you should love each other. This is perhaps the easiest yet hardest love. To give the “hardest love, the deepest, and the fullest, a woman must be rooted in Him Who is Love. When she is strong in Him, femininity is the natural outgrowth, the child of her womanhood. This issue searches the phases of our growing into womanhood. The foreign students show that things change from country to country, but women share themselves everywhere. And our view of skeletons and spiders behind locker doors seems rather in that awkward, in- between stage. Our cover: We are to he Christ' i e women loving in an ecumenical spirit.” Last issue touched on ecumenism in Loretto's life, this issue glances at wotnanliness. Our cover shows us our model: “She has both a mother's joy and a virgin's honor.” February 1963 19
