BELL and BARRY JAMES United Press International (Fifth in Six-Part Scries) Not everyone in the Roman Catholic Church is happy with the spirit of Vatican II. "Priests are turning over their altars, selling their ornaments," said Maurice Duron, a self described agnostic and member of the French Academy. "Prelates are changing their language, closing down organs to welcome guitars, blessing the demolishers." Thousands of conservative Catholics nod agreement. The church they knew stressed loyalty, discipline and familiar, timeless ceremonies. To the casual onlooker, that church is becoming unrecognizable.

Yet undeniably, conservatives are in a shrinking minority although Pope Paul VI often sounds like an ally. "The church is tenaciously unchanging on matters of dogma," he said last fall, but then to the dismay of conservatives, he announced more reforms in the non-dogmatic shape of the church. "We are in a kind of no man's land," said the Rev. Winand Kotrs, a Dutch traditionalist priest. "We have been left out in the cold because of our loyalty to the church and the Pope." Two notable outgrowths of Vatican II in today's church are- the emergence of politi cal priests witness the American Berrigan brothers who went to jail for burning draft records and the church's concentrated and continuing assault on the evils of war, hunger and injustice at the expense of pre Vatican II concern with private and personal sin.

These two overlapping and' often indivisible issues mean more to Catholics than dozens of the theological reforms. 17 III RAYMOND WILKINSON Higgs will officiate. BuriaL will be in Oakland Cemetery. Friends may call at the Dye Home of J. H.

Sunday. Man Dies Of GuilsllOt Church dean of the Boston College Law School, became the first priest to hold voting rights there. A priest from the Michigan territory served as a non- voting member in 1823. The Rev. James Groppi.

a Milwaukee civil rights figure often at odds with his flock and superiors, praises the church as a radical institution. "I'll say this for it," he said, "it spawns revolutionaries. Read the life of Christ. It's a very militant thing." Militance in the church is not, nevertheless, universal. "The record shows that we have failed to cope with racialism," South African bishops said after reviewing their church in the land of apartheid, where black Catholics outnumber whites 9-1 and yet remain powerless and almost voiceless.

In East Europe, the homeland of the modern church of silence, liberalism and revolt are luxuries and thus Catholics there are conservative and united to a degree unmatched in other places of the world. Catholicism still claims the allegiance of 55 million men, women and children in Poland. Czechoslovakia, Hungary, northern Yugoslavia and western Romania and the church survives there by making accommodations with Communism. The situation is different in the Soviet Union, where 1 a i i I. Lenin once called religion "spiritual gin." Moscow policy dooms Catholicism there to low profile survival with little or no prospect for growth.

Otherwise, no place, no matter how has escaped the political stirrings of the church. In Spain, where 7,937 bishops, priests, monks and nuns died in the 1930s Civil War, more than one- half the bishops and priests attending a national conference voted to ask Spaniards to forgive the church for supporting Francisco Franco. Under the law, such action can send a Spaniard to jail. In Italy, nearly 200 priests and theologians formed an organization to protest church inactivity in combatting world injustice.

Outdoors Business Eihrj! icn in Catholic Pope Paul originally outlined the new priorities of Catholic concern. Human and social justice obsesses him as much as it does radical priests and one of his encyclicals, issued in' 1967, assailed unbridled capitalism in language so strong that critics called it a red manifesto.

"The old concept of a church as a parallel structure to the secular power, and sometimes identified with it. is rapidly changing," said Archbishop Marcos G. McGrath of Panama. Crowding purely theological and moral homilies out of pulpits around the world are such issues as welfare, the aged, poverty, child care, minority rights, housing, human rights, racial discrimination, abortion, birth control, divorce, prison life, nuclear arms and ecology. Not every Catholic likes the idea of priests swapping pastoral action for political action.

Some churchmen attribute high absenteeism at Sunday mass to this. But in other places in the world, Catholics want more church action. 1 we participate actively in the rebellion against social structures and economic organizations which condemn men to poverty, humiliation and degradation, then the church will become irrelevant to man and the Christian religion will degenerate into a set of superstitions," said Julius Nyerere, the Roman Catholic president of Tanzania. Catholic men and women, priests, even some bishops, are taking up that challenge, increasingly at the cost of their livelihoods, liberty and sometimes their lives. At a purely political level, three Catholic priests ran for Congress in the 1970 elections and one.
