Historic Year of 1950 The four bishops pictvred surrounding Cardinal Gilroy (centre) last week in Sydney have particular reason to remember the current Holy Year. They were all members of the first two post-war ordination classes at Propaganda College, Rome, and they r anaged to include their ordination to the priesthood bi the Holy Year of 1950. Last week they called on 79-year-old Cardinal Gilroy, sow living in retirement at the Little Sisters of the Poor, Randwick, to greet the bishop who gave to two of kern —Bishop Peter Quinn, of Perth, top left, and Archbishop Frank Little, of Melbourne, seated left, the order of sub-diaconate when the cardinal made his Holy Year visit to Rome as Archbishop of Sydney in 1950. Archbishop Little and Bishop Quinn were subsequently ordained priests on October 3 and December 21 respectively. From the older class of the two. Bishop Leonard Faulkner, of Townsville, upper right. and Bishop Brian Ashby. of Christthatch, seated right, were ordained on January 1 of the Holy Year.
CARDINAL ASKS A BLESSING Taking advantage of their presence in Sydney this week for the half-yearly sleeting of the Australian Episcopal Conference, the four bishops were part of a group of 21 jubilarians and their contemporaries in Rome who spent four days together at St. Patrick's Post-Graduate House, ManV, engaged in discussion, Prayer, Masses at various Venues in Sydney and social outings. A fter the group had entertained the cardinal, himself a Propaganda student of the 1920s, with traditional Roman songs, the aged Prelate, visibly moved, knelt and asked all to give in their corporate blessing, taYing that the visit had been the happiest moment in his four years of retireInent at Randwick.
Why are many youth leaving the Faith? VATICAN CITY (NC) — With an eye towards "rebuilding Europe's Faith by the year 2000", the Vatican's Secretariat for Non-Believers has launched a study of why many European youth are living on the fringe of the Church or dropping out of it completely. The study will conclude in November with by project directors from a discussion of findings various European countries. The study is based on this premise: "We accept as fact that, in Europe, many young people aie living a strictly marginal Chris-

tianity with no understanding of it, or, for that matter, with any desire to learn about it. "Many of these young people, born into Christian families and baptized, are abandoning not only the sacramental practice of their Faith, but the Faith itself."
EVALUATION The Vatican secretariat, founded ten years ago, is currently collecting evaluations of the mentality of youth (age 18 through 30) from experts in various European lands. The questions which the study seeks to answer are: • "What will Faith be in the year 2000? What do we foresee for the future of the Faith in the cultural context of today's youth?" The project plan regards European youth as evolving a culture which has no room for belief.

"It seems that youth's conversion to non-belief, which met at the Vatican or its confirmation in non-belief, is not merely a passing crisis of growing years, as it has usual-
ly been in the past and would normally warrant the hope of eventual reconversion with mature to the committment faith," the study states. "Rather, there is a general feeling that Europe's young people, allowing for some national differences, are immersed in a radically new milieu, a cultural setting in which Faith finds no expression and is ignored." According to the secretariat, the study was conceived in the light of discussion at the 1974 World Synod of Bishons in October to discuss evangelization of the modern world. (• SEE ALSO PAGE 6)
Pope tells 30,000, use judgment A TICAN CITY (NC ;— The Christian w ho coM'rott:s the modern world must watch with critical judgment for the signs of the times, remembering that Christians "are for the world what the soul is to the body," Pope Paul told his general audience on April 30. Pope Paul further counselled the three separate audience groups totalling about 30,000 people that reading "the so-called 'good Press' is a far-sighted and in a certain sense indispensable" way of listening to and judging the signs of the times. The Pope also exhorted his hearers to "work toward a critical judgment of things". He quoted St. Paul's advice: "Examine everything and hold on to what is good". Finally the Pope advised: "Let us remember that being distinct from what we call the world, in a negative sense, does not separate us from the world in a positive sense — that is from humanity, even in those aspects which are wanting, lamentable, and in need of the great light of truth and of the beneficial remedy of charity."
