...nation's 22 million Negroes constitute only 11% of the U.S. population-but make up something like 20% of the inner cities. Between 1950 and 1966, some 5,200,000 of them, most from the rural South, moved to the cities. Today, 63% of Washington's population is Negro, followed by Newark (55%), Baltimore (41%), St. Louis (37%), and Philadelphia and Chicago (30% each). For the great mass of these Negroes, poverty or near poverty seems as much a part of their condition as the color of their skin...
...point to a really nonviolent community, anthropologists are usually forced to resort to the Arapesh of New Guinea or the Pygmies of the Ituri rain forest in the Congo. The human impulse to violence cannot be completely denied or suppressed. When that is tried, the result is often an inner violence in man that can burst out all the more fiercely later. At times the U.S. displays a kind of false prudery about violence to the point where, in the words of Psychiatrist Robert Coles, "almost anything related to forcefulness and the tensions between people is called violent."

But in the situation we're in now, where you have a mixture of aggression and civil war, a mixture of inner and outer self-determination, and a mixture of nationalism and communism, "containment" becomes a pretty empty phrase. Yet those of us that get into sounding off in public about what is our policy don't have any other phrase to use. I think it's a pretty meaningless term...
Instead, manifesto and declaratory action seem to be more appropriate for this time. Liturgy and ethic, made articulate in humane and political commitment, are the best inner and outward expressions of the power that is now largely nacent in the Church. The language of "must, if, may, and urge" which is the hortatory language of Confessions written in a time of failing faith, can be transformed into "have, did, shall, and join us." That is the language of manifesto...
