Title: Msgr. Ellis resigns Catholic U. post.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30469 MSGR. ELLIS RESIGNS CATHOLIC U. POST WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Msgr. John Tracy Ellis, noted Catholic scholar, resigned as church history professor at the Catholic University of America after 30 years as student and faculty member. He will assume the same teaching post at the University of San Francisco. A teacher at Catholic University, only Pontifical university in this country, for 28 years, Msgr. Ellis had been church history professor there since 1947. He has been on leave from Catholic University for some months and has been residing there. The priest holds worldwide recognition as a church historian and for encouraging Catholics to deepen and broaden their intellectual life. Last year, Msgr. Ellis charged that Catholic University had been undergoing a “type of suppression” for nearly a decade. He made the comment at a time when the names of four noted theologians were withdrawn by university officials from a list of proposed speakers suggested by a student group.

Title: President disavows general's remarks on Jews.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46245 PRESIDENT DISAVOWS GENERAL’S REMARKS ON JEWS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Ford has reproved the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. George S. Brown, for making “ill-advised” remarks which claimed that Israel has “too much influence” in the U.S. Congress. The general was also quoted as saying, Jews “own, you know, the banks in this country, the newspapers.” Ron Nessen, the President’s press secretary, told newsmen that Mr. Ford had disavowed the remarks made by Gen. Brown on Oct. 10 at Duke University. He said the President “considers Gen. Brown’s remarks ill-advised and poorly handled” and “feels very strongly about it.” Several national Jewish organizations have urged President Ford to dismiss Gen. Brown. They charged that his remarks, made public Nov. 13, were malicious and prejudicial to Israel and American Jews. Members of Congress also protested the general’s comments. Gen. Brown, in a telegram to the Jewish War Veterans and in a later statement, apologized for his remarks made during a question and answer session following a speech to Duke law students in Durham, N.C. He said his “true feelings concerning Jewish Americans were not reflected” in the remarks reported in the press. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-WAS-11B-74-DS)

Title: Father Drinan: Zionism expresses religious beliefs.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: J-46210 FATHER DRINAN: ZIONISM EXPRESSES RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Zionism is “more than a political movement; it is an expression of worldwide Jewish religious beliefs and hopes,” Rep. Robert F. Drinan (D-Mass.) said in remarks made before the national executive committee of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. “Zionism is a profoundly held spiritual conviction of Jewish fidelity to the biblical covenant which links a people, a faith and a land in a unique religious and mystical unity,” the Roman Catholic Jesuit priest-congressman stated in a speech which was inserted into the Congressional Record. It is “not for a Christian to state,” he added, “whether or not Zionism and Judaism are theologically separable. But politically they cannot be separated. Zionism is the mystique, the ‘elan vital’ of Israel. To equate Zionism with racism represents a frontal assault against the core values of Judaism.” In the light of recent public statements concerning the alleged influence of Jews in this country who are staunch supporters of Israel, it is time, Father Drinan said, “as never before,” for Americans, “especially Christian Americans,” to “reassess the fundamental reasons why the United States has a unique and profound alliance with Israel.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (R-8A-76-DS)

Title: Butz comment about pope scored.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-46287 BUTZ COMMENT ABOUT POPE SCORED NEW YORK -- Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz has been scored by Roman Catholic and Italian-American leaders after he was quoted using a mock Italian accent in dismissing Pope Paul’s criticism of wealthy nations for telling poor nations to mee their hunger problems by controlling their populations. “He no playa the game, he no maka the rules,” Mr. Butz was reported in the New York Daily News as telling a breakfast meeting of newsmen in Washington. Later, he said his remark was “off the record.” Denouncing the remark as “a crude, pointed insult directed at Pope Paul VI,” the Archdiocese of New York sent a telegram to President Ford demanding that his Agriculture Secretary “apologize immediately or resign.” Rep. Mario Biaggi (D-N.Y.) also sent a telegram to President Ford asking that Mr. Butz be dismissed “for his anti-Catholic, anti-Italian remarks” and charging that the Secretary has “shown an offensive, bigoted mentality.” The New York archdiocesan Senate of Priests also called for his “immediate resignation or removal.” Mr. Butz’ remark, according to an Agriculture Department aide, was a retelling of a joke which he had heard at the World Food Conference in Rome, which Mr. Butz attended as head of the American delegation. The Agriculture Secretary has apologized for it. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-NY-11D-74-DS)
