Phyllis and Tess are a couple of characters who have turned their particular vocations as Priests' housekeepers, into 'joyous activities,' associating their work with fun and laughs with those around them. Loyal and 'true blue' to 'their boys', they've succeeded in transforming work into pleasure by using their great sense of humour to lighten the load and shine up the day for their busy menfolk. They tell how it's tough and hard demanding work for oar priests but with a little consideration (or actually a lot more!) and compassionate thoughtfulness, we could spin out their lives a bit longer.

3700 ha (9140 acre) property was leased for 99 years for the benefit of Aboriginal people. This passed in 1978 into the hands of the Aboriginal Land Trust and on Tues day the archdiocese surrendered the remainder of the lease which has now been handed back to the Southern Aboriginal Council The handover on Tuesday was the result of an offer made by Archbishop Goody in July 1982 to the Nyoongah Catholic Com

The occasion was one of hope, he said, because the Southern Aboriginal Council which had taken over the property had strong links with 12 organisations in the towns of the South-West and could understand the Aborigines' needs. "It gives up special hope also because for many Aborigines is in some special way theirs, because they lived and studied here, because they visited here to see their children or relatives

He said that by companson the Catholic Church owned very little land most of it in five and ten acre properties for the parishes and schools throughout the state "The priests, brothers, nuns and laity in this archdiocese have worked on this property for the past 35 years for the benefit of Aboriginal people by educating their children."

The chairman of the Southern Aboriginal Corporation, Mr Les Eades with Archbishop Foley ad Honorary Minister, Mr Ernie Bridge with the Aboriginal woodcarving of a map of Australia presented to the archbishop return for the land transfer deeds.

The archbishop said the handover ceremony was a final chapter in a story that began with Archbishop Prendiville's concern in the 1940s for the "sad state of affairs" of Aborigines at that time and his hope to give children, many of them on the reserves, a new educational and social opportunity for their adult life. He sought help from Bishop Raible of Broome to obtain Pallottine priests and brothers, joined later by the Sisters of St John of God, then the Ursulines and then the Schoenstatt Sisters. Progressively the care of the children passed over into a cottage system where brothers and sisters would not be separated, until 1977 when it was felt institutional care was seen as "second best" and Centrecare Aboriginal cottages were established in Pingelly, Beverley, Brookton and Northam, recognising new insights into the care of children, especially Aborigines. The new Wandering venture, Archbishop Foley said, would give lead to self development, a growth in self-esteem and an acceptance of self responsibility.

Irish say 'n0' to divorce

Guerillas murder Franciscan in Uganda battle

DUBLIN: A referen-

dum on the introduction of divorce in the Irish Republic was rejected by 63.1 per cent of voters last Fri-

day.

The poll which was held by the minority government of

Mr Fitzgerald has brought a verdict which poses a problem in that government's

hope for better relations with Northern Ireland. Although the vote against the amendment to the 1937 constitution was nearly two thirds, it is only the reflection of 55 per cent of the 2.4 million who were eligible to vote.

Brother Kevin Lawlor DFM

The rural vote was said to be highest against the move, mainly over concerns about property divison and other consequences of the proposed legislation that would follow the constitutional amendment

Catholic bishops and theologians consistently put the view that the divorce move would contraveneChristian moral teaching On the other hand, they did

not press the obligation of Catholics to vote absolutely on the matter

Urging repeal

DURBAN (NC) South African Church leaders urged the government to withdraw security legislation giving the minister of law and order broad powers to control "unrest." In a rare joint statement, three Durban church leaders Catholic Archbishop Denis Hurley, Anglican Archbishop Michael Nuttall, and the Reverend John Borman, head of the Durban district's Methodist Church called for the withdrawal of the bills. They also asked for guarantees the "responsibility for protecting the rule of law and the safety and integrity of public be the prerogative of the courts."

Midland Friars are mourning the death of Brother Kevin Lawlor OFM who was shot in the back by Ugandan terrorists during their attack on the seminary at Sarogi, north-east of Uganda's capital, Kampala. heroic Despite attempts by fellow missionaries to rush the badly wounded Franciscan to hospital, he died 10 minutes before the light aircraft landed him near a Nairobi hospital. Brother Lawlor from Box Hill, Victoria trained with and knew many of the Midland Friars. He had volunteered to work at the Ugandan mission and arrived there in January this year. He was planning to be reunited with his brother last weekend. After the attack, frantic efforts were made to hospitalise him but Father Paul Smith, Franciscan media spokesman in Sydney, said "the wounded man had first been taken to a local hospital but

Vatican officials met recently to discuss Church relations with Eastern Europe, but deny a newspaper report the encounter was to prepare a possible papal visit to the Soviet Union. There has been speculation the pope may want to visit the Soviet Union during the Orthodox Church's planned 1988 celebrations of the millennium of Christianity in the country. The pope mentioned the anniversary in an encyclical last year.

R~cord The outcome of the lrish referendum on a constitutional change to introduce divorce proved most of the commentators and poUsters to be only just right and has left two large segments of hatf the population both believing they are right. Thus commentators and pollsters in the early days of the Irish campaign were not a little excited at this open challenge to Ireland's Catholic solidarity that is unique in modem secular and humanist societies. In that sort of climate, bishops and theologians who were standing squarely behind the gospel mandate against divorce were easily painted as the stodgie baddies whereas the estimated 70,000 of separated partners seemed to have a fairly simple case for social justice. Irish politics being no C:ifferent than others, it would be hard to interest the outside world in other issues that affected the referendum such as the Haughey Opposition's manoeuvring for an advantage, and the subtle question of how plural the Irish want their society to become, especially if the day of closer relationship with the North is ever to dawn. That the commentators sensed more was in question than a religious stand-off between government and Church hierarchy became obvious in the last days when prophets shortened their odds and predicted close finishes etc just to be on the safe side. Not only was the near two-thirds vote not a close finish, but obviously many people were voting on the political and social consequences of divorce and property division as on the more basic religious question. Comment since the poll, therefore, has concentrated on the government's political dilemma with regard to the North rather than the consequences for the Church in Ireland. Ireland has become a critical debating topic for the Church far beyond that country's ancestral shores. In every other country governments have had no qualms in introducing moral legislation on life and marriage contrary to the Church view and have left the Church with the pastoral headache of how Catholics are to survive in such anti-Catholic cultures. Irish Prime Minister FitzGerald is widely reported as having canvassed this question of secular freedom widely at top levels of the Church for many years. While the theory of freedom of conscience is clear, the deluge of Catholics who in fact do divorce and re-marry in every country, including Australia, might suggest that satisfied consciences in this matter are not rare. The days when Church authority could call people to order with a quick stroke of excommunication are long since dead. Anything hinting at a punitive penalty is seen only to make matters worse not better. From no less than Pope John Paul downwards, the Church is preaching compassion, if not approval, for those whose marriages have failed. The plea for natural justice and support to secure the best solution to sad and broken experiences is hard to resist. On the other hand, the catechesis of the Church should be powerful with no less than Jesus' own words in the gospel as its ally, should be the convincing antidote to marriage failure. Experience shows it is not, and no explanation is forthcoming. The majority of Catholics are no longer affected by the words of the Sunday pulpit and the preacher who drifts into the subject of broken marriages knows that he must tread very sensitively for the sake of even his devout listeners. What the Irish referendum showed was that 935,842 people are very sure of what they think about the introduction of divorce. A second group of 538,279 know clearly why they want it introduced. The big mystery hangs over the 1.3 million who did not tum out to vote. Like all referenda, a solution has been found but the question has not been answered, nor will it go away.

IISSIOIIS BANGKOK: (NC)

The Thal government hopes to reduce the number of missionaries in the country by 10 per cent annually until a "necessary level" Is reached, said Deputy Education Minister Sampan Thongsamak. The growing number of missionaries makes it difficult for officials to monitor activities of foreigners, he said. Catholic leaders were told of the policy long ago. If a missionary with a residency permit dies or leaves the country permanently he cannot be replaced, but those with temporary non-immigrant visa may be. Buddhism is Thailand's national religion, but Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism are also officially recognised. Only organisations authorised to represent these religions have misslonaries. Among groups the government recognises are the Thailand bishops' conference and the Catholic Assoclation of Thailand. Buddhists constitute 95 per cent of Thailand's 50 million people. Only four per cent are Moslems, while Christians account for less than one percent.

A liturgy concern

KUALA LUMPUR: Christians have been asked not to use Arabic words considered sensitive byMoslems in Church liturgy or literature.

VATICAN CITY (NC) -- Pope John Paul II's pastoral visit to Colombia this week will take him to a nation battered by a natural disaster, and plagued by guerilla warfare and a flourishing illegal drug trade. Vatican sources said the pope's visit will highlight the church's external concerns, such as drugs and violence. They said they do not expect strong words on internal church matters. Pope John Paul is scheduled to visit 11 Colombian cities, including Armero, which was nearly 90 percent destroyed last November when the Nevado del Ruiz volcano melted the mountain's snowcap and sent a river of mud racing down the mountain. As estimated 22,000 people died in the disaster, which turned the once financially sound town into a muddy plain, now called the Holy Field Cemetery. Colombia's guerilla war has also killed thousands of people, and Vatican sources said they expect the pope to decry violence during his visit Several guerilla groups are fighting throughout the country.

Two weeks before joining the pilgrimage he heard that he had been named Bishop of the Northern Territories, an area the second largest diocese in the world This week has been a busy one for the policeman turned priest who was ordained Bishop of Darwin in the Star of the Sea Cathedral on Thursday. He has visited his old stamping ground of Randwick where he was parish priest from 1978 to 1985, and was presented with a plaque by NSW Police Commissioner, Mr Avery. Father Collins was born in 1931 at Braidwood, the son of a policeman and was a police cadet in 1947 and in uniform in 1950. His last day of service was at the end of 1954. Had he remained in the force he would have been Constable First Class in January, 1955. Instead, he entered the MSC novitiate at Douglas Park on January 28, 1955 and was ordained by Cardinal Gilroy St Mary's Cathedral on July 20, 1963.

The communist-backed M-19 guerilla group seized the Palace of Justice in Bogota, the Colombian capital, last November In the resulting battle with government forces, 100 people, including I1 of the nation's 24 supreme court justices, were killed Vatican sources said they also expect the pope to speak against the illegal drug trade Four years ago the Colombian cocaine industry was valued at about $5 billion. Today its worth is estimated at $8 billion The illicit industry has prompted pressure on Colombia from foreign governments, including the United States, to stop the flow of cocaine. Pope John Paul goes to Colombia a little more than a month before Liberal Party President Virgilio Barco Vargas assumes the presidency on August 3

Father Boff sees support for liberation theology SAO PAOLO (Brazib )(NC): Brazilian

Franciscan theologian Father Leonardo Boff, silenced by the Vatican for nearly a year, said a recent Vatican instruction on liberation theology allies Rome with the oppressed. He also said the document frees theologians to 'attack" oppression. In an open letter to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Father Boff said the congregation's "Instruction on Christian Freedom and Liberation"

was a "decisive and historic" document that "protects"

liberation theology. "Now there can no longer be any doubt: Rome is at the side of the oppressed and all those fighting against injustice," the letter said. The letter, which begins,

was co-signed by Servant of

Father Leo Anthony Hofstee, originally from Holland, as a military chaplain after the Japanese occupation in 1945, fell in love with the country and its people and decided to stay. The people he settled down to serve in 1947 were lepers living in Tala Leprosarium outside Manila. Father Hofstee requested release from the chaplains' corps when he realised his place was with the victims of Hansen's disease. He was buried among the lepers at his request.

gation's document, published in April, the priests were critical of its "doctrinaire" and "abstract" tone. They also said the document views the poor more as a problem outside the church than as a dynamic force inside it. But the greater part of the document has "undeniable richness," and sent a clear message to Latin American Catholics: that "Rome is in favour of liberation," the letter said. ·The Church communities, especially in the last Christian continent in the world - Latin America are carrying out a type of new and great crusade: the crusade of the liberation of the oppressed in the world," the letter said. The document means theologians can now "go on the attack" against oppression, it said The letter agreed with the document's main point that the essential liberation for the Christian is spiritual.

ROME (NC) - The Vatican has returned two Jewish catacombs to the Italian state, but neither the government nor Rome's Jewish community can afford to maintain them. The catacombs, where Roman Jews buried their dead until about 1500 years ago, passed out of Vatican control with the adoption of a new Church-state concordat in 1985. On June 12, the Vatican formally relinquished control of the underground galleries at Vigna Randanini on the ancient Appian Way.

Ironically, the ceremon-

ial consignment of the second Jewish burial grounds beneath Villa Torlonia was put off indefinitely -- the catacombs there have been reburied to protect them from vandals.

BRASILIA (NC) --The 11 bishops of Brazil's

Maranhao state barred the governor, the police chief and officials of a

political organisation from the sacraments, saying the officials blamed the Church for increasing land-reform

violence.

Archbishop

Fenelon,

said Governor Rocha, police Chief Siva, and

directors of the Demo-

cratic Rural Union "exclude themselves from the Church community" through "calumnious statements and their anti-evangelical behaviour." The archbishop added, "It makes no sense for them to continue to receive the sacraments offered by the Church until they show public signs of conversion to evangelical wisdom." The bishops also said the authorities "owe explanations" to the people about land-grabbing, murder and human rights

violations.

Both catacombs will eventually be restored to the Jewish community in Rome But for the moment, neither the financially strapped Italian Ministry of Culture nor the Jewish community has money available for the expensive repairs needed to make them ready for visitors The catacombs beneath Villa Torlonia, discovered in 1919, were damaged when Italian dictator Benito Mussolini moved his family, staff and heavy equipment into the villa for 20 years, until

1943.

The villa became a public park, and Vatican authorities had the catacomb entrance re-buried because of vandalism in 1974. At Villa Randanini, catacombs were seriously damaged when used for refuge during World War II air attacks, and to hide Jews and Italian military deserters during the Nazi occupation of Rome. Subterranean Rome is laced with more than 100 separate burial galleries that were carved out of the soft 'tufa" rock

A warning from Pres Cori Aquino MANILA, ( NC) -

Philippine President Corazon Aquino, who catapulted to office with the aid of powerful churchmen, told Catholic clergy to avoid political partisanship and maintain a "certain distance" from government. Mrs Aquino told several hundred priests and bishops of theManila Archdiocese in May, the Church must avoid political partisanship and "preserve a certain distance (from government) which will leave it free to exercise its prophetic role." She said a moral revolution could be led by the clergy through its example and lifestyle.

But political and social changes are "the work of lay

persons like myself, and believe me, it is precisely as part of my Christian commitment as a lay person that I have assumed the burdens of the presidency," she said. She told the priests that if, they evangelise Filipinos the way the pope and bishops have instructed, "you shall have made the most urgent and most important contribution to the rebuilding of our country." The president said there is a connection between the form of government in the church and in civil society. "Just as the authoritarian style of Church leadership provided a spiritual climate favourable to martial rule," she said, "so also a more consultative and participative style of church leadership will enable our people to be more participative in the affairs of civil society."

The Record, July 3, 1986

Tenth week of a 13-week series on laity in the;jurch Family life is complex and uncertain, with heartaches and delights, joys and worries, writes Neil Parent, as NC's religious Education Package continues to explore facets of lay life. In each family certain recurring themes love and commitment, authority and independence, communication and deci-

sion making are played out, he says. Parent is representative for adult education with the US Catholic Conference. Katherine Bird interviews psychologists Joseph Schwab of South Bed, Indiana, and Virginia Clemente of Dallas, Texas. They discuss what goes into creating a happy home.

For both, commitment is an essential element and a willingness to keep working on problems. Mr Bird is associate editor of NC's Religious Education Package. David Gibson, editor of NC's Religious Education Package, describes some changes in family life which are causing parents to perceive their

responsibilities differently. Often parents are perplexed over some aspect of their responsibility but don't know where to turn for help. Research shows they want help with family problems from their Church, the writer says. Father John Castelot points out that changes in society almost inevit-

ably bring changes in family life. He shows the evolution of family lfe in Old Testament days. In the early days, families were rigidly patriarchal with a large, extended self-sufficient family gathered around the father. As society became more urban, however, the family system changed in a number of ways.

Life's like that by NEIL PARENT

When I was a theology student in the mid1960's, I used to regularly visit a group of couples who gathered every other week for study, prayer and socialising. They began to meet in the closing days of the Second Vatican Council to discuss the meaning of the many changes that were occurring in the Church Most of their children were small at the time but they would join us frequenty for group outings, home liturgies and the like. As a result, I got to know each family fairly

The father was master - with power over life and death Changes in society bring about changes in families. In very ancient Israel the family structure was rigidly patriarchal. The father was master of his wife and had absolute authority over his children, even over his married sons if they lived with him and over their wives. The father's authority included power over life and death. Genesis 38:24 tells of Judah's condemning his daughter-in-law Tamar to death when she was accused of misconduct.

The family at that time consisted of those united by common blood and com-

mon dwelling place. It included servants, widows and orphans who lived under the protection of the family head. It was truly an 'extended famly." Family members were obliged to help and protect each other There was even

Priests' housekeepers have an exacting job...dealing □Phyllis and Tess are a couple of

characters who have turned their particular vocations as Priests' housekeepers, into 'joyous activities,' associating their work with fun and laughs with those around them. Loyal and 'true blue' to 'their boys', they've succeeded in transforming work into pleasure by using their great sense of humour to lighten the load and shine up the day for their busy menfolk. They tell how it's tough and hard demanding work for our priests but with a little consideration (or actually a lot morel) and compassionate thoughtfulness, we could spin out their lives a bit longer, if we showed more thought and made less demands on this unique breed of men from whom we expect so much (too much, say Phyllis and Tess.)

They are Tess's family; and no doubt she is theirs. Spritely, green eyed and attractive little Phyllis Ward has the most delightful Irish by COLLEEN accent which would beguile you instantly. She came out from South Tullamore, HOWARD County Offaly, Ireland, 33 years ago, but you'd think she'd disembarked only yester. day.

And then by really good job, listening to her philosophy persuasion from her friend Phyllis, Tess on a housekeeper's role. Six years ago applied for the housekeeping job at Subiaco.

You get a greater these harsh demands on his time by understanding and respect for them when unthinking people, Phyllis says. "Lack of understanding as to how busy his you see the life they lead." daily job is, leads to selfish demands on his time." Within the busy routine of the priest are weddings (which of require preparation Yes Sir! It's been a hectic day time), people who just drop in to see a priest or have a Confession heard (even though the for Phyllis Ward, Fremantle priest may have been sitting in the Confes sional for hours that day), plus funerals to housekeeper, but nothing a cup of be organised, which means, said Phyllis, off tea and putting her feet up, can't to the cemetery after the ceremony, and so on. fix. On top of that there are Masses, hospital work, visiting the sick and elderly in their homes, schools, and parish council and general meetings. "Years ago it was very difficult to get a housekeeper and things have not changed in this materialistic society, where people sell their time to the highest bidder," said

I think most priests would give their annual stipend (well at last part), to have one of these charming ladies as housekeepers. Phyllis and Tess are pals. They get along realty well together and they're loads of fun to be with. They'd brighten up any priest's dreary life; and if his life wasn't dreary, they'd make his day even brighter. Priests are expected to be supermen," said Phyllis Ward, housekeeper from Fremantle parish, "but they can't be." But having heard and seen something of a housekeeper's day, maybe a housekeeper is supposed to be at least "Wonder Women!" Start with Tess Lehman, housekeeper for the Camillians at Subiaco parish. Tess attends 7am Mass and when it's over, gets straight into her job. The phone rang again and again when I was there. The doorbell went. Food was cooking, bubbling on the stove. But Tess didn't lose her sense of humour. Wrth that big smile of hers, she coped, gave out and produced. Tess has two days off a week, but prepares food for "her men" in advance so they are catered for in her absence. She came over for Sydney four years go, after her retirement from Telecom, to be with her brother and his family.

"Housekeeping," she said, "is a serious job. You must have a great sense of humour,

Tess and Phyllis went on to say how you find such inconsideration and unrealistic expectations from people who, having had Masses said for them on the hour with a 7pm Mass the night before finishing with a 6pm on the Sunday, will say: "Haven't you got a later Mass than that?" or "What other parishes would have a later Mass?" One to suit their own tailored requirements. "1 simply tell them," said Tess, "1 don't know what the other parish Mass times are and they'd need to ring around to find out" At Christmas and Easter they said they had to answer the phone every minute

The priest will then dutifully go into the confess on regard parlour and hear th less of whether he is i tl middle of a meal or not. People can be so set and demand ng of their priests. Some don't consider the priest should ever have any time to himself at all, said PhyMlis "There is a great need for good housekeepers because we need our priests always, and we should look after them "Hopefully there wil be a big increase in vocations in the near future," said Phyllis "especially after the Holy Father's visit. "We are all very much aware of this important role of the priest and unless we get more vocations, the existing heavy

workload will become even heavier

"A lot of them have earned the right and need to retire, but cannot do so because of the shortage of pr ests "We Christians will be the ones to suffer most and yet you still hear people say. What is he doing still saying Mass at his age?' "

"The truth is," said Phyllis, "a priest has to carry on regardless of his age, because of the gravity of the situation. With the critical priest shortage, there are no replacements, in many cases. Again this reflects lack of community awareness."

Housekeepers get no special privileges, Phylis said and she feels there should be willing parishioners who care enough to become involved in looking after priests "This would enable our load and hours to become lighter and we could all share the responsibility more equitably," she said "You have to be discreet too," said Phylis "You have to know when to wheel the trolley In, when to talk and when to retreat. You must know your place and respect theirs." Phyllis said it can be quite lonely in the kitchen, and having no one to talk to "You have to realise when the priest does come in for a meal or whatever, that you can't waste his limited time by simply chatting on to him "t can be a very lonely job," said Phyllis, "and the same goes for a priest." A lot of the younger priests manage to go out into the parish but for some priests it is

difficult for them to go out, socialise and

their responsibilities."

"their boys", "their family".

"AII the time you are thinking about them and providing this or cooking that for them, or shopping and so on." On a Sunday, Phyllis likes to have something really special. She will put a bouquet of flowers on the table, or some chocolates, anything to make it a different day to the others. "f it is one of their birthdays, I'l buy a little present and we'll all sing happy birthday. "Because the lrish priests in particular, have no family, no brothers or sisters, they depend on the housekeeper to spread the word around and create a little excitement for their special day," said Phyllis "One ltalian priest had a bit of an accident, so I left some red roses at the door, then rang the bell and told him someone had left them

Father W. UREN SJ, Director, Goody Bioethics Centre

Sir, Mrs Martyr asserts (The Record. June 26) that I have misrepresented the teaching of the 1974 Declaration on Abortion issued by the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (which, of course, is not a Vatican Il, 1962-65, document). I had claimed that the Declaration does not presume to decide between the competing theories of immediate animation (personhood at fertilisation) and delayed animation (personhood established at some time subsequent to fertilisation). Mrs Martyr claims that the text of the Declaration does decide in favour of immediate animation. How then does Mrs Martyr explain the following official footnote 19 to the text she cites? I submit that it clearly contradicts her claim. "The present Declaration deliberately leaves untouched the question of the moment when the spiritual soul is infused. The traditin o is not unanimous i nits answer and authors hold different viws; e some think animatin o occurs i nthe first moment of life, others that it occurs only after implantation. But scince e really cannot decide the questin, o since the very existence of an i mortal m soul i snot a subject for scientific l al one. enquiry; the question i sa phiosophic "For two reasons the moralposition taken here on abortion does not depend on the answer to that questin: o ati m n o comes at a later poitn 1) Even if it is assumed that ani the life of the foetus i snonetheless incipintly e human (as the e make clear); it prepares the way for and biological scinces requires the infusion of the soul, which will complete the nature received from the parents 2) If the infusion of the soul at the very first moment i sat least probable (and the contrary will i fact n never be established with certainty] then to take the life of the foetus is at least to run the risk of killing a human being who is not merely awaiting but is already i possession n of a human soul?" (O.M.

How then does Mrs Martyr explain the fact that the distinction between immediate and delayed animation was controverted by the Church Fathers as early as the late Second

CLARITY PLEASE

Century AD., and was enshrined in the canonicals any penitential legislation of the Church from at least the Sevent Century onwards? How also does she explain the fact that theologians and moralists as renowned and orthodox as the Dominican St Aquinas 13th century, as the Redemptorist St Alphonsus Ligouri in the 18th century, and as the Jesuit Karl Rahner in the 2Oth century have each espoused the theory of delayed animation? "Secular sophistry" it may or may not be, but it is certainly an opinion that has long been canvassed within the Catholic Church -as the above citation from the Declaration on Abortion explicitly acknowledges. Thirdly, Mrs Martyr claims that the doctrines of the Immaculate Conception and the Incarnation teach the theory of immediate animation. These doctrines, of course, teach neither immediate nor delayed animation they simply prescind from the dispute. The comment of Father John Connery, SJ, a renowned American theologian and moralist (and one whom I am sure Mrs Martyr will be glad to know is noted for his opposition to progressive moralists like Father Charles Curran) in his authoritative work, "Abortion: The Development of the Roman Catholic Perspective", (1977), pp. 211-12, is apposite at this point: ..it i s doubtful that the definition of the Immaculate Conception exercised much influence i nestablishing thi s opinion (immediate animation]. In itself the definition said nothing about the time of animation. What was defined was the freedom of the soul of the Blessed Virgi Mary n from original sin, whenever it was infused. t must be admitted, of course, that the title, Immaculate Conception, expressing thi privil s ege is open to overinterpretation but what is clear i that s the Church had no intention of defining the time of animatin, o even i nthe case of the Blessed Virgi Mary." n Indeed, the Church could hardly have opted decisively for immediate animation at that time (1854) without calling into question its own concurrent penitential legislation, which since 1591 had distinguished between the animated and inanimate foetus in prescribing penalties for abortion. Fourthly, Mrs Martyr assails what she claims are the inadequacies of the Response of the Diocesan Bioethics Committee to the Interim Report of the WA IVF Ethics Committee. May I point out in reply that the Response of the Diocesan Committee was almost twice as long and detailed as any other group or personal submission made to the State Government Committee, and that it was prepared by a committee whose services were entirely voluntary, and at minimal expense to the Archdiocese. May I further recommend that one read the Response of the Diocesan Committee in its entirely, and not merely selectively. It will then, I believe, become abundantly clear that two of the guiding principles of the Committee in preparing the Response (and are so asserted to be at length on pp. 1416) were the inviolability of developing human life from the time of e fertilisation • and the absolute priority of a stable, indissoluble, monogamous marriage relationship as the appropriate context in which to procreate and educate children Finally, may I ask Mrs Martyr why, if she felt so strongly on the points she mentions, she herself made no submission to the State Government Committee when it called publicly for responses to the Interim Report? I can assure her that many other Catholics, besides the Diocesan Bioethics Committee,

made such submissions

Compassion receipt option from MARGARET KER, Mt Lawley

Sir, it saddens me that the parishioners of Willetton were not made more aware, perhaps most appropriately by Father Doyle (The Record June 12), that no receipted donations to Project Compassion can be used for domestic projects unless this is specifically requested by the donor. Donations to domestic projects are not tax-deductible Far from there being a difficulty in ensuring that one's donation was not used for political purposes, it was those of us who specifically wanted part of our donations to be used for educational purposes who had to resort to the expedient of making a separate (anonymous) donation which could be used in this way.

Antiochians are rarely camera shy says Stacey McKean (right) pictured with Mr and Mrs Portwine and Jon Pestana.

Catholic groups taking part this year are Catholic Parish Youth, Antioch, Redemptorist Youth Ministry, Geraldton Youth Service and Bunbury youth. Readers of the Record can be of great service to the appeal by talking about the appeal to their workmates and friends. Perhaps a simple sign on the notice board where possible.

The appeal can only afford a minimum budget for expensive media advertising. The

limited funds do not allow a total saturation in radio, television and newspaper. The Police and Citizens are preparing their own community service advertisement and I hope Tony Barber will give us a plug on Sale of the Century.

After all, young Catholics, if trained to become leaders and more responsible in life will do not act in a vacuum but hopefuly will influence the whole community not just the Catholic

members. The appeal is essentially a doorknocking campaign like the Red Cross and Salvation Army with one difference:- Youth Work does not have the well

Something sentimental... the US and Canada and with television and concert appearances in England, Mary has a newfound appetite for work. Her first major public concert and the start of her 'second' career was at London's Royal Festival Hall in November in 1977.

The bare chronicle of

Mary O'Hara's life contains dangerous elements of sentimentality. A young and beautiful singer falls in love with a handsome doomed poet.

He dies after 15 months

blissful marriage. She withdraws from the world, enters a closed religious order and

emerges after 12 years to pick up the thread of a singing career, with fantastic success. Mary will be appearing at Geraldton on Saturday July 12, Kalgoorlie Monday July 14, and Perth Concert Hal Wednesday July 16. So much for the facts. Heavensent, you might almost say, for the promotion of a singer. But this story happens to be

true.

As a beautiful young girl from the west of lreland Mary O'Hara captivated

audiences in Britain, Ireland and America with her clear soprano voice and rich accompaniments played on the Celtic Harp. As this time, in the late 50s, Mary's exiting treatments of lrish and

Scots traditional songs

sung in English and Gae-

lic earned her high praise

from critics and a large audience drawn right across the board from classical music lovers to college students.

Following numerous concert tours, radio shows and her own television series for the BBC, Mary was set to become folk music's first star, and all this long before

t was 'sold right out' and $4 tickets were changing hands for $40! Reviewers were unanimous in their ecstatic acclaim. The concert was recorded, an album was rush-released and immediately entered the best-

Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and their countless imitators generated in the '60s folk boom. Joan Baez was, in fact later to acknowledge Mary as an influence in her career. There was tragedy

behind the reasons for Mary not being around to consolidate her success in the sixties. In 1956 she married the young Amer-

ican poet Richard Selig,

then a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, but he died only 15 months later and after a few more tours, notably of Australia and New Zealand (1959) and America, Mary retired to the seclusion of the Benedictine order at Stanbrook, Worcestershire. Throughout the following 12 years Mary's fans never forgot her. Her live albums continued to sell

and her name was at the forefront whenever Celtic music was played or discussed. Mary herself was resigned to a life without music, but eventually she took her harp down from the attic at Stanbrook and started to play again.

When her health began to give way under the

rigours of monastic life

Mary decided to come

into the world again, and, more importantly, to play

publicly.

After years of silence

Mary O'Hara has reemerged onto the music scene and whereas she once abandoned her career she has discovered that her career has

refused to abandon her. Picking p the threads again with concert appearances in lreland,

selling charts. There followed TV specials on the BBC and ITV, and a concert tour of England and Ireland. She filled London's Royal Albert Hall and later Caregie Hall in New York. The New York Times critic wrote 'singing traditional Celtic material and ballads, accompanying herself with adept and delicate filigree on the Irish Harp, Mary O'Hara is mesmerising." Mary O'Hara could be called a "folk-singer and

harpist." But she is far

more than just that. Mary received international acclaim as a singer of folk songs long before folk became fashionable. "1 am not, I think, a folksinger as the purists understand it. What I try to do is interpret traditional songs with the skill and respect given to art songs simply by singing them with all the understanding I possess."
