Dr. Ernest Morin, chair- man of the political science department at USO, will head the center, Morin said the center would emphasize the role of the United States in international relations, and how the religion and culture of other nations influences foreign policy.

pagan and Jewish worship. It is not surprising, therefore, that it would find a place in Christian worship. Historical evidence seems to indicate that the practice of using blessed water had its origin in the early Latin basilica's fountain at which the faithful were accustomed to wash themselves before en- tering the church. When churches were built without a courtyard for a fountain, smaller vessels were placed inside the church for the purpose of washing. The act of washing had religious overtones: Tertullian in the third century tells us that Christians of his time washed before praying. Clement of Alexandria reported the same practice but insisted that it must not be an empty ritual but, rather, a genuine spiritual purity of heart must be sought. The present custom of takmg blessed water upon entering the church is a continuation of this earlier practice, with special emphasis upon recalling the spirit of one's baptism. WJR Question: Just before the "Lamb of God," why does the celebrant at Mass drop a particle of the con- secrated host into the chalice? This is a classic example of how the Church, in her liturgical life, often retains a custom which has lost its original meaning through the centuries.

Most important, they say the words of consecration with him, and, at Communion, partake of the same host and chalice. Historically, as Father Louis Bouyer points out, "we must acknowledge the fact that concelebration, the practice of many priests together celebrating as one, is probably not a primitive fne. "For if we mean, as we do now , by concelebration a common celebration in which all the priests present do and say the essential rites and words, recent scholarship has shown that this practice is definitely not primitive." In the late 1950s the question arose about whether the assisting concelebrants could remain silent around the altar. Bypassing historical and dogmatic considerations, Pius XII replied that the attending priests must say the words of consecration together with the principal celebrant; otherwise they are not functioning as ministers of the Eucharist. Since this was a disciplinary decision, there is no reason why it could not be changed in the future. Father Warren J. Rouse, OFM Is holy water still used? In the Book of Exodus (30: 18- 20) Aaron and his sons were required to wash before ap- proaching the altar. And Psalm 50 states: "Sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed; wash me and I shall be made whiter than snow.'' The notion of water as a purifying agent was common in Question:

The answers should not be interpreted as a con- sensus of opinion within the department but the reply of the writer whose name appears. of the the bread (called fermentum) to the priests of nearby church- es for their celebration of Mass - clearly a sign of unity. Thus Pope Innocent I wrote: "Since the priests in charge of the titular churches are not able to be present with us on Sun- days, they receive by the hands of acolytes the fermentum confected (consecrated) by us, lest they feel they are cut off from our communion especially on this day." When lhe various priests received their fermentum, they dropped it into the chalice during the Communion service of their Mass. And since it is to be presumed that the Pope was quite frequently prevented from visiting the various churches, both priests and people came to look upon the dropping of the fermentum into the chalice as a regular occurence, a sign of unity.

For all practical pur cs m former days , .concelebra lion (two or more sacred ministers offering Mass together) was seen only on the occasion of an ordination to tl\e episcopacy or e-e priesthood. The frequency o con- celebration was extended by the Council with these words: "Concelebration, whereby the unity of the priesthood is ap- propria tely manifested, has remained in u to this day in the Church both in the East and in the West. "For this reason it has seemed good to the Council to extend permission for con- celebration to the following cases... " And later documents extend this permission generally. Actually there are two forms of concelebration along with a great deal of discussion con- cerning their respective im- portance historically and liturgically. The ~ldest may be called ceremonial concelebrati6n. In the early days of the Church, the Eucharistic Sacrifice was 'performed by the bishop alone. His presbyters, together with the entire congregation, par- ticipated by song and response; and even though his ministers occupied a special place in the sanctuary, only the bishop pronounced the words of con- secration. The permission given by the Council, however, referred to sacramental concelebration: assisting priests, dressed in vestments, stand about the altar and recite most of the prayers with the principal el rant.

The practice began this way in the early days of the Church: at his Mass, the Pope would send consecrated particles of
