V ATICAN CITY: THE FOUR PRIESTS WHO HAVE BEEN NAMED C ARDINALS BY POPE PAUL VI WILL BE CONSECRATED BISHOPS ON FEBRUARY 21, THE DAY BEFORE THEY
ARE ELEVATED TO
THE
SACRED COLLEGE. Pope Paul decided to follow the precedent set by Pope John XXIII and make all members of the College of Cardinals bishops instead of allowing a number of them to remain priests, as was the tradition in the past. To be consecrated in St. Peter's Basilica by Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean of the Sacred College, are Monsignors Joseph Cardijn of Belgium, founder of the Young Christian Workers organisation; Charles Journet, Swiss theologian; and Federico Callori di Vignale, major domo of the papal household; and Father Giulio Bevilacqua, an Oratorian priest who is a pastor in Brescia, Italy, and an old friend of Pope Paul.
FOUR PLACES Vatican officials also disclosed that the ceremony of delivering the "biglietto" (the offcial notification of the new cardinals of the Pope's decision to make them members of the Sacred College) will be confined to only four places. In the past new cardinals have been scattered throughout Rome and the papal messengers bearing the official notifications have had to go to all parts of the city. To save time and simplify matters, it has been decided that only four locations are to be used. They are the North American College, the Urban University of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, the headquarters of the Congregation of the Oriental Church, and Domus Maria, a conference and convention centre run by Italian Catholic women's organisations. The only new cardinal who will not be in Rome for the ceremony is Cardinal-designate Angel Herrera y Oria of Malaga, Spain, who will receive the red biretta the same day in his own country from Spanish Chief -ofState General Francisco Franco.
Special Privilege THE Catholics of Ecuador may henceforth fulfil their obligation to assist at Sunday and Holy Day Mass by participating in the Holy Eucharist on the p revious afternoon or evening. The Bishops' Conference of Ecuador announced it had petitioned the Holy See for this privilege, and that its request had been approved by the Congregation of the Council. The Permission is in line with the revelation made in Rome last June that the Sunday and Holy Day Mass precept could be anticipated the previous afternoon or evening in certain dioceses of Italy, Switzerland and Argentina. It was announced at the time that the concessions Were made to alleviate the scarcity of priests in some dioceses, and to make it More easy to fulfil the obligation of attending Mass on Holy Days.
THE Immigration Collection will be taken up in all parishes next Sunday, February 28.

are likely to face increased difficulties with the passage of a proposed new law on religious affairs. A basic change in the law is the requirement that both parents must now give approval for a child's baptism or attendance at catechism classes. Up to now such approval has usually been given only by mothers. Fathers, fearing economic reprisals from the State, even the possible loss of their jobs, could claim that their wives had acted solely on their own initiative in giving approval. It is feared that the number of baptisms and attendance at catechism classes will decrease drastically in urban areas after the law is passed.

IRED MASS AT CATHEDRAL
parish priest of Embleton. He stressed that all authority comes from God and told those present that authority exists not for the sake of those who use it, but for the sake of those over whom they have authority. He said that those who have power to use authority should remind themselves of the dignity of the human person. "The individual is important and the individual
has rights," Father McNamara said. He went on to say that the individual gets his worth from God because he is made in His image and likeness. "God values that person and in order to show that value He gives that person individual rights. "We must be continually w itnessing to the importance and dignity of the human person," Father McNamara stated.
