If he does not have one, he creates one, often with sluggish dedication, with only faddish enthusiasm, with vile interests and with fickleness. “ And He who, with a divine guarantee to His words, has said, ‘He who follows Me does not walk in darkness,' He, the master and head of humanity, is today so very easily forgotten.” The Pope gave the about 60,000 pilgrims and tourists present a three- point plan for renewal in Christ: “ First, let us not be dead, indifferent or accustomed to the words of the divine master. Let us listen to, study and ask for what the Holy Spirit can teach us about the total truth of Christ to guide the way of the failthful believers. ' ‘Second, let us with zealous and docile heart treasure the teaching of Christ and of those whom ‘ the Spirit has established as bishops to shepherd the Church of God.' “ Third, let us watch out for certain new theories now current and sometimes not immune from spiritual and doctrinal dangers. Let us listen to the Gospel invitation at the depths of our soul and from the seat of the Magisterium and in ecclesial communion.” Labor Day Message Alien Import Revival Called ^Unacceptable' ^ WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS) — The leading labor spokesman for the U.S. Catholic Church has warned against the revival of a government- sponsored program of importing alien farm workers, terming it ‘completely unacceptable” as a means of stemming the illegal alien tide and labeling it a dire threat to American farm workers. Msgr. George G. Higgins, Secretary for Research, U.S. Catholic Conference, asserted that the renewal of the so-called Bracero program ‘ ‘might well be the end” of Cesar Chavez’ United Farm Workers Union, which the priest described as the “ only viable union” established in the history of American agriculture. In the USCC’s annual Labor Day statement for 1975, Msgr. Higgins declared that with the advent of the California farm labor law this year there is a good chance that the farm labor problems of the nation are on their way to solution. But, he said, a new Bracero program would be a serious setback. Terming the California law “ fair and equitable to all concerned” and a possible working model for legislation in other states and at the national level, he said, however, “ there is reason to fear that the (U.S.) government is being pressured to make a crucial decision in this area which would nullify the potentially good effects of the California statute.” He noted that the federal government “ is toying with the idea of reviv­ ing the so-called Bracero program, which would legalize the mass im­ portation of braceros (farm hands) under a bilateral contract or treaty between Mexico and the U.S.” He pointed out that some government of­ ficials see it as the only way to halt the influx of illegal aliens from Mex­ ico.” Admitting that the problem of “ illegals” is serious and that there is ‘‘no simple solution. .,” Msgr. Higgins explained that the USCC and a number of Catholic organizations have recommended “ across-the-board amnesty” to illegal aliens. He said this recommendation is based on the rationale that the U.S. “ bears a heavy share of the responsibility” for the aliens’ situation, that the prospect of a “ permanent sub-culture” is grow­ ing, and that it would preclude the need for “ internal passports.” PA. Pays $2.8 Million To Non-Public Schools HARRISBURG, Pa. (RNS) — The state of Pennsylvania has paid $2.8 million to non-public schools as the first installment in a new program to provide guidance counseling, testing, and speech, hearing and psychological services to non-public school students. The new program, recently enacted by the state legislature and ap­ proved by Gov. Milton Shapp, provides up to $45 per student per year. The program was revised by the state legislature after the U.S. Supreme Court knocked down a similar plan under which non-public schools were subsidized at a rate of $36 p>er student per year. A new feature of this year’s program is that the services must be conducted in facilities that are not sectarian-controlled buildings. State Secretary of Education John C. Pittenger said transportation and leasing costs would consume at least $10 per student of the revised payment rate.
