o~r growth in knowledge, are being considered. The point is, then, that today's theologians are not involved in some sort of plot to undermine the faith; although they - like their predecessors - are subject to error, they are men of sound knowledge and good faith. 4. They are trying to synthe- size humanly acquired truth and divinely revealed truth. God is the author of all truth; therefore whatever is true in the human sciences an- thropology, sociology, psychology, etc - can and should be used in our attempts to understand our relationships· with God. Take the science of psychology, for example: today we know much more about human behavior than before, particularly in terms of the forces of the subconscious in relationship to freedom of the individual. This new knowledge has a valuable role to play when we talk about the ' morality of a person's actions. New theology, then, is a trend that should not be feared; nor should it be dismissed when an individual theologian sets forth an opinion that seems to be avant-garde.

The lesson to be learned from on-going research in this matter is that one should be cautious about always invoking Trent as "the last word." 3. They are trying to formulate the tradition faith in contempor• ary language. Dogma has a his- tory because it is expressed in human language which changes from age to age. Take, for example, the subject of Christ's presence in the eucharist. "New theology" affirms at the outset that Christ is present truly and really in the consecrated host. it described as most fitting, the Council employed the word "transsubstantiation;" today other terms, in keeping with Using a term which

term "new theology" (which is unfortunately looked upon with grave suspicion by some) generally refers to contemporary theologians who in their writings and lectures are a!tempting to accomplish several things: 1. They are trying to separate fact from opinion in answering the question, "What is the pristine Catholic faith~" And, indeed, we must admit that in our customary catechisms it has happened that theological theories or opinions have, at times, assumed the guise of dogmatic fact. To illustrate: it is commonly believed that unbaptized babies are relegated to a place called Limbo. But in point of fact this is simply a theory perfected by the Scholastic theologians. Actually we have no answer to this problem. 2. They are trying to return to the early sources, especially the Bible and the Fathers of the Church, in order to clarify and understand God's revelation. For the past four hundred years, theological text books relied upon the canons of the Council of Trent as being definitive and dogmatic. But contemporary historians (see, for example, Hubert Jedin's three volume set, The History of the Council of Trent) and theologians - finally having access to the deliberations of the Council - have proven that the Fathers did not intend to set forth an expose of Catholic faith. Instead, their primary ob- jective was to refute certain opinions of the Reformers. In addition, it is not entirely clear whether alt of the canons ofthe

Harvard '70 grads on different tacl{? Cambridge, Mass. Harvard graduates working as cab drivers? Or how about Harvard graduates as farmers, mechanics, glass blowers, furnituremakers, warehousemen, and book- store clerks? These are some of the jobs being held by 1970 gradu- ates of America's oldest university, according to a survey made by Harvard's Office of Graduate and Career Planning. "Many of these students seem to regard craft, skilled, and manual work in a romantic light," said the report released this week. "Seeking 'meaningful' activities, they express a desire to work with their hands. "Others seem to be content or obliged to accept cas· ual employment, the most common example of which is taxi driving," the report said, adding that many graduates seem to "welcome or tolerate positions which make few intellectual demands on them." Many graduates undecided In addition, the report said, "the class of 1970 shows a significantly high number of seniors who at the time of Jraduation were undecided about their immediate or long-range plans. Many of the 1970 graduates have shied away from business or professional careers because these jobs, in a period of economic downturn, are no longer avail- able to them and because of a "mistrust and fear of business and the professions generally," the report said. The report, entitled "The Harvard College Class of 1970," urged consideration of encouraging, rather than just permitting, students to take time during or before college "to engage in useful activity" or to seek ex- perience by "traveling, working, or exploring unfa- miliar social conditions."
