A faithful friend and pastor I See I Monsignor O'Reilly

was a faithful friend

and most of all a faithful pastor to the thousands who got to know him so well in the Cathedral, Como and Nedlands parishes. Archbishop Goody paid this tribute before a congregation which packed St Mary's Cathedral on Tuesday for the funeral Mass. The congregation included Mr Terry Burke

MLA representing the

Premier and Mr Phil Pendal representing the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Hassell.

The Commissioner of Police Mr Brian Bull, the Inspector of Commonwealth Police Mr Frank Pimm also were in the congregation. Sir Charles Court attended the cemetery ceremony.

Knights of the Southern

Cross acted as ushers and formed a guard of

honour.

The Anglican and Uniting Churches sent official representatives.

Archbishop Goody called Monsignor O'Reilly an administrator of great capacity and zest, an authoritative master of ceremonies who knew what was to be done and how to get it done. Referring to his 15 years

as Archbishop of Perth

during which Monsignor O'Reilly was for 13 years secretary and for two years dean of the cathedral, he said: "He helped

and advised me in pri-

vate, he was my admonitor in cricket -- also in

private, but in both public and private there was no one more loyal, more faithful in his work." Noting that Monsignor O'Reilly had "gone in the best years of his maturity", Archbishop Goody said that the 23rd anniversary of Monsignor O'Reilly's first Mass, in Ireland in 1963, was a fitting fulfilment of the words of St John "he who eats my flesh will live in me and I in Him."

"They are aware of the statistics and so are we but what the Church of Perth needs is for each one of us to know Christ better, not just about Him. to know Him as a

person acting on our lives.

0a ·Without that awareness of Christ there will not be the possibility for people to respond to the call to the priesthood and religious life." Turning to the priesthood the archbishop said that we cannot leave things to happen, they are part of the local community.

Pope offered a stadium SINGAPORE: Organisers of a Paul Anka concert have offered to change the date of their function so that Pope John Paul can have the 60,000 capacity National Stadium during his six hour stop en route to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. However, organisers are worried that if even half of Singapore's 120,000 Catholics turn up, the stadium will be filled, to say nothing of busloads of people who may come in from Malaysia as well as many interested nonCatholics. One solution may be to borrow the huge multiple television screen being imported from Japan for the Anka concert.

Attack on drug move

MELBOURNE: Moves to decriminalise marijuana have come under strong attack from Father Kevin Mogg, the episcopal vicar for social welfare. He was commenting on reports of the "revelation of an alarming level of alcohol and marijuana usage amongst Victorian youth. .." The reaction of the Victorian Health Minister, Mr White, in suggesting response in terms of decriminalising the drug is simply astonishing," Father Mogg said. "What possible benefit would that produce?" he asked. "It is like recognising that alcohol contributes to road fatalities and responding by easing penalties for drunk driving." He called for: • Increased public disapproval of marijuana through education, publicity and court procedures. • Continued condemnation of marijuana use as a criminal offence to deter the 73 per cent of youngsters who do not use it. • Rejection of the argument that widespread usage warranted decriminalisation.

Pope praises Brothers

ROME: Pope John Paul has commended the education provided by the Christian Brothers and has urged the order to

maintain that educational quality especially in catechetics. At a time when the character of Catholic teaching in schools is undergoing precise definition, the Pope defined that character as educating youths to make decisions in

contemporary culture, by using the "Gospel of Crist as the source of light and discernment." The remarks were made at a meeting with members of the general chapter of the Christian Brothers two days after the chapter members elected US Brother John Johnston to succeed Spanish Brother lose Pablo Basterrechea as head of the order.

The National President of the St Vincent de Paul Society, Mr Eric Ellem has appealed to the Federal Government to remember the plight ofAustralia's poor in its 1986/87 budget.

Mr Ellem in his address to the National Council of the St Vincent de Paul Society, which met in Adelaide said: "Rumours the Federal Government intends to trim the welfare budget by cutting family allowances by $1 50 million, discounting social security benefits by 2% and

making cuts in housing, health and employment programs has caused us great concern" Mr Ellem said: "While the society appreciates the difficult decisions that face the government, we know from our own experience that the situation facing poor people is already desperate. "We believe the govemment should increase the level of support being provided to these people even if that means greater sacrifices by the more affluent sections of our community." Mr Ellem said: "Any cuts to benefits or support programs to these groups would be disastrous. "Already most of the families that come to the Society for assistance are struggling to survive on incomes well below the poverty line.

"Family allowance is an important source of support for these people," Mr Ellem added. "Any cuts to these areas of benefit would worsen the situation for these families and drag other low income families, who are presently just surviving, down to the same level," he said. The Society of St Vincent de Paul is one of Australia's largest volun-

Population Censuses and Surveys. Figures reveal that more than 87,000 abortions were performed on unmarried women; 38,000 teenagers, including 4,000 girls under the age of 16, had an abortion last year. With the abortion rate now running at 450 every weekday, the figures reveal that women aged between 25 and 34 account for the highest rate of abortions (43,000). The rate for women aged between 20 and 24 is slightly less (41,000) but the figures rapidly fall off in older age groups -- 17,000 in the 35-44 age bracket and 425 on women aged over 45. Over 95 per cent of the total number of abortions - 134,504 -were performed in England. There were 6,597 abortions in Wales.

Vocations: the community's choiec

John Paul talks of BOGOTA, (NC) Pope John Paul noted the international nature of the Third World's foreign debt problem and called on nations to vvork

The clue in the gospels that Jesus used parables because often people can see without seeing and hear without hearing could be a frtting reflection on today's world swamped with sound and blinded with visual distractions. If the loudest amplification and the monopoly of the television networks and satellites cannot guarantee that a message is being heard, the Church need not feel gloomy that the finer points of Christian dedication are being missed by the world. But in the Church's inner courtyard there is no doubt that the seeing is producing no vision and the hearing is registering no understanding when it comes to vocations. In season and out of season vocations are prayed for, talked about, investigated at seminars and live-in weekends, analysed by religious sociologists, written up in leaflets, books, magazines and portrayed on film. The nett result: scarcely a flicker of increase, with some dioceses and religious congregations faced with the hard choices they will have to make in the not too distant future when their personnel are depleted. Archbishop Foley, therefore, is being neither original or claiming greater wisdom when he joins his voice this week to the chorus of appeals already going out to men and women with the potential to make a decision to follow Christ more closely in the priesthood or religious life. The people indeed have heard it all before but the archbishop and a team of visiting preachers can only use their own personal resource to progressively visit every possible pulpit and lectern in the archdiocese and spell out the message clearly and with conviction. For the present, but not exclusively, Archibishop Foley says he will be concentrating on the immediate need to have more men come forward to the priesthood. Other vocations however, are no less important if the true meaning and value of a religious vocation is to be appreciated.

□□□ The discussion and debate about vocations

can be no longer in the abstract. The archbishop has pointed out that it is a question now to be answered by the Catholic community of Perth archdiocese. This diocese needs priests; the religious orders working in this diocese need men and women to join them. If anyone could analyse why vocations are sparse, then a world wide trend, not just the problem of Perth or Australia, could possibly be addressed. Charged as it is with some emotion and not a few sociological conundrums, the debate about the ordination of women is not dealing with the real problem facing the Church or the world. The US bishops, reported elsewhere in this issue, hint that part of the confusion may arise from priests religious and laity not being dear on what their respective roles are in the Church that has changed so dramatically in a mere two

decades. The apparent rock solid stability of a mere generation ago appears to be wobbling and it is no wonder that quick and easy solutions are being promoted from every side. Most of them are couched too much in the immediate present, solving a headache that did not exist last week, as Archbishop Foley observes. The strategy he proposes to his people of Perth archdiocese is to ask the vocations question in the simple context of whether this Catholic community wants its men and women to make choices in Christian life. It is being phrased in the seemingly trendy, but really ancient practice, of calling others to serve. If the Catholics of Western Australia want priests brothers and sisters to be special vocations in the Church, the choice is simple: call them to Christian life. 4

together for a solution, as he spoke to politicians on the first day of his week long pastoral visit to Colombia. "Dialogue between peoples is indispensable in order to reach equitable agreements which are not just subservient to economic laws," which are "without soul and without moral criteria," he said. He called for international solidarity regarding the foreign debt, which "overwhelms Latin America and other countries of the world." "The poor people cannot pay intolerably high social costs by sacrificing the right to development, of which they are deprived while other people enjoy opulence," he added. The pope said development in Latin America has been held back by many factors, among them "violence, insecurity, contraband, unjust distribution of wealth, illegal economic activities and. the massive transfer abroad of capital which is indispensable for the country." Although he did not speak directly to the large trade in cocaine and other illegal drugs in Colombia, the words "contraband" and "illegal economic activity" appeared to refer to that traffic Pope John Paul said the nation "has been tried by catastrophes and disgraces which have spread sorrow."

More than 20,000 Colombians died when the

Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupted last November,

and hundreds have died this year from guerilla violence. As the pope rode from Bogota's airport to the city's cathedral, thousands of people waved palm branches to welcome him into the capital At the cathedral, he urged the bishops and priests of Colombia to work in the areas "of promotion and

A bias on the

ball ...

GLASGOW, (NC) One of Glasgow's two main

soccer teams, the Rangers, broke a longstanding policy of religious discrimination this spring by hiring a Catholic player. After the hiring of 15year-old John Spencer, a Glasgow daily newspaper urged the Rangers' mostly Protestant fans to overcome their "religious bias." The sectarian rivalry traces back to the early 20 century when immigrant Irish Catholics rallied behind the Celtic, a team formed by a Marist brother to raise money for feeding poor children. A Catholic atmosphere grew up around the soccer club, although that was not said to be the intent of its owners. The Rangers' fans were generally native Scots and Protestant northern lrish immigrants.

Rites held in funeral chapel CHICAGO (NC) The Archdiocese of Chicago denied a public funeral Mass for reputed mobsters Anthony and Michael whose Spilotro, beaten severely bodies were found in a shallow grave in an Indiana cornfield.

Although the archdiocese denied the funeral, Father John Fearon, was allowed to address more than

300 mourners who

gathered at the undertakers' chapel. The archdiocese said that "decisions of this kind need to balance the good of the family who may desire the service of the church with the good of believers and others to whom scandal may be given by provi-

eral."

The statement said the decision was "not a judgement about eternal salvation nor about moral guilt or innocence. That judgement belonged to God alone. The decision was a human judgement seeking to respect both the needs of the family and the needs of the entire Church community." Church law says that unless there has been a sign of repentance,

New catechism

VATICAN CITY: The Church will have a new universal catechism in

1990.

The pope has created a commission of five cardinals and six bishops, under the chairmanship of Cardinal Ratzinger, to write a text. This will be placed before the World Synod of Bishops in 1990 for approval,

before being passed to the pope for

his official seal. The new catechism is to replace all others formulated in recent years by various cpiscopal conferences. The Dutch, for example, held by many "not to be in perfect line with doctrine", and the French and Italian, which have not been acceptable to the Vatican.

"manifest sinners" are to be denied a church funeral when such a service would create "public scandal for the faithful." Anthony Spilotro, 48, was to have stood trial beginning June 24 in Las Vegas on conspiracy and racketeering charges. Michael Spilotro, 41, had been indicted in Chicago on extortion charges stemming from an FBI probe of organised crime and prostitution. The most recent known denial of a public funeral Mass in the Chicago Archdiocese was in January when the archdiocese denied a public funeral for Joseph DiVarco, who allegedly was one of the top members of the Chicago crime syndicate. He was serving a prison term in California at the time of his death

BRASILIA, (NC) - The parishioners of a murdered Brazilian priest have taken their pleas for land reform to the president of their country. The farmers also asked punishment for the murderers of Father Tayares and 10 other people killed in their community since 1983.

"We do not want to return from Brasilia without the signed orders releasing the land, nor without the expedition of ] the titles of the land released." , The statement blamed " recent violence in the region on gunmen, the police, judges and owners of large tracts of land.

ABOARD THE PAPAL FLGHT TO COLOMBIA (NC) Pope John Paul ll refused a request from a second guerilla group for a meeting during his visit to Colombia, he told reporters en route to the South American country. The pope said he saw no need to mediate between the guerillas and government. He said "Colombia has institutions and authorities, and these people are responsible for resolving these problems because the guerilla activity is certainly an internal problem of a country, of a society." The pope also criticised guerilla activities and said "the Church is against violent methods when a peaceful solution can be reached with non-violent methods.

"Violence means lost lives and causes so many

tragedies," he added.

Change 'impossible'

From page 4 liberation, especially of the poorest." He warned them to do so "only by following the example of Jesus," which "prohibits recourse to methods of hatred and violence." "Love and a preferential option for the poor cannot be exclusive or excluding of anyone," the pope added. Nor "can the poor be considered as a class, and even less as a class in struggle or as a church separated from communion with and obedience to the pastors," he added.

The pope's rejection of class struggle and liberation through violence echoed the concerns held by critics of liberation theology, which is popular in Latin America. Some proponents of the theology advocate the Marxist concept of class struggle as a means of changing the social order. The pope's visit to Colombia marked the seventh time the Polish pope has visited Latin America. Before the visit, Colombia's Ambassador to the Holy See, Bernardo Gaitan, said the pope's visit would help confront "many problems that have implications for the church," among themMarxism. "Colombia is the key to Latin America" for the pope, Gaitan said. "It has 200 years of democratic practice and a Catholic Church which is very strong It is a significant country in the Latin America church."

LONDON: Mons Bruce Kent walked across the Scottish English border to the sound of bagpipes, when he completed the first leg of his 450 mile march to raise funds for CND and War on Want.

Asked if the Catholic Church could ever alter its present position on ordination of women, the pope said "I am convinced that is impossible." He said the Anglicans know the approval of women priests by some Anglican communions "creates a difficulty for the dialogue not only with the Catholic Church but also with the Orthodox," the pope said.

Nevertheless, the pope said the Anglicans "should continue their with the dialogue Catholic Church."

for lndia's poorest

Australian Jesuits in Bihar have appealed for finance to help build churches in extremely poor Indian parishes. Parish priests are unable to meet building costs few from offertory collections which vary from 68 cents to $3.75 per week. Very parishioners can afford to give more than one cent a week to support their parish. Priests and parishioners at Chandwa, Bokaro Thermal and Mahuabathan all long for the opportunity to worship God in a church. Services in school rooms and halls create many problems. At Hazaribagh the problems are different. The parish church, poorly built from war surplus materials has long been considered UNSAFE, and must be replaced by a larger church. At present more than 800 people squeeze into the church designed for 500. Distributing Communion is a big problem. Repairs to the church have been ineffective and walls and roofs continue to move and sag. Borer infected timbers supporting the main roof are a constant danger. Recent earth tremors continue to worry the parish priest, Father G. Kongari, who wants the church demolished before it collapses on his parishioners. Please give us your support and encouragement. We are very dependent on outside aid. Every dollar will help. Please make your cheque payable to "Australian Jesuit Mission in India" and post it with the coupon.

Nor does the leadership of the priest mean exclusivity, Archbishop Pilarczyk said. Others can be called to direct service of the local Christian community and the priest needs to see them not as rivals or surrogates but as authentic collaborators." One of the most difficult problems of today's Church, he said, "lies in finding a way to affirm and maintain the real, authentic leadership role of the ordained priest without downplaying the true gifts and responsibilities of lay persons who have now for 20 years been taught that they have a rightful role to play in the

Community must make call heard

life of the Church. "The problem lies in being a good shepherd without treating the people like sheep," said the archbishop. In view of the priest shortage, the archbishop offered a number of considerations. These included the development of a clear theology of lay ministry, the projection of happy, fulfilled priests, prayer for vocations and the realisation a married priesthood or women priests "are not, practically speaking, open questions, and what is really needed is attention to the problems at hand through means we already have at our dispo-

urban development and people attending neighbouring parishes ask him for a priest to call them together for the eucharist, to be available for counselling. to help them in the Christian education of their children • In a parish where the priest of many years has grown feeble and people wonder if he will be able to continue and if they can receive another priest • When a parish council realises the demands made on a priest because of growing activity may be making too greater a demand on the shoulders of a priest and is there a possibility of a second priest. Archbishop Foley said that a campaign for vocations needed prayer was the source of vocations along with the development of a missionary spirit to spread the Good News, not overseas, but in the local community. "Accepting Christ is not a selfish thing. We accept Him in gratitude and we are called to share Him with others. We are going to be unselfish Christians otherwise there will be no priests or religious." Stressing the advice of Pope John Paul that men had to be called to the priesthood, Archbishop Foley said: "There have been times when the community has chosen a man and presented him to be the bishop to be ordained as their leader "That style has not operated for many years but may

happen again Individually, or as a community we can call a man to accept the office of priest, making an initial judgement on their suitability to serve the Church as a priest "That will be gauged by others and ultimately by the bishop." Archbishop Foley said the call has to be personal or explicit or it will not be heard "Many a young man who has eventually taken the step has remarked: 'But nobody ever asked me'. "The priest is not the total Church, but is the spiritual catalyst and source of grace in the Church He is the coworker who facilitates the activity of all the individuals who make up the local community. "In the lives of every person, even those baptised as infants, there has to be a moment of decision, a moment of conversion when there is a recognition of God and Christ the Son of God "This conversion is made not once but at different stages, in adolescence, in first employment, in marriage, in sickness, in old age, in death. "There are moments when this is a call for each one of us to Christ and His life and the acceptance of His power. "It is from this very life of the community that there is the possibility that some men and women may hear the call to the special vocation of the religious life and the priesthood."

MINNEAPOLIS (NC) -A clear and distinct image of the priest, his role and responsibility, is necessary if the Church is to attract more candidates for the priesthood, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago told his fellow bishops at Collegeville, Minneapolis. Cardinal Bernardin said the introduction of lay ministries, "so important and needed," has been accompanied "by a blur-

ring of roles, a tendency to telescope everything into a kind of common ministry." He said the "explosion" of lay ministries has caused tensions in the Church. "Only when there is a greater clarity (between ' ordained and lay ministry) will priests feel less threatened and be better disposed and able to affirm the laity in their gifts and leadership," the cardinal said. Noting "support for celibacy continues to erode," Cardinal Bernardin said ways must be found to "highlight its value" for both the individual and the community. He said priests must "project an image of reasonably happy, 'healthy,' satisfied men" if they are to influence young men to consider the priesthood. The cardinal said a clear understanding is needed of "the difference between the universal priesthood of the faithful... and the ministerial priesthood, to which one is called by the Church. "Without this understanding," he added, "there will be only confv sion when we speak about the mission of the laity to the world, lay ministry, the unique ministry of the ordained, and the relationship that exists between the three." Cardinal Bernardin drew a distinction between the laity's call "to transform and renew the world" and the laity's call to participate in Church ministries. "The word 'ministry' seems more appropriate for the latter; the former is more property called discipleship, witness, etc.," he said. The emphasis in the past 20 years has been on development of Church ministries, said Cardinal Bernardin. Now "more attention must be given to providing the forma] tion, support and encour agement needed by the laity to fulfill their responsibility to the world." l

Some adult religious educators are fond of saying that in the Gospels Jesus blessed children and taught adults, whereas wt in the church bless adults and teach children. That saying is meant to drive home an opinion strongly held by some educators that the church and its people frequently have their priorities backward: They focus their energies and resources on children when adults should be receiving more of their attention. While one may question the literal accuracy of such a view of both Jesus' and the church's respecttive ministries, the basic sentiment behind it

by NEIL

PARENT remains true enough. Christianity is first and foremost intended for the

mature believer. Obviously, I am not sag-

gesting that Christianity has little relevance for children. On the contrary, it has much to say to them, as our youthful saints undoubtedly would attest. Still, when we examine some of Christianity's major tests of belief, such as the incarnation, atonement, redemption, grace, we immediately recognise that they are difficult enough for adults to grapple with. There are dimensions of faith that only can be assimilated when one has

attained a certain level of maturity and experience

of life. For example, people need to have reached a certain level of maturity before concerns such as marriage, love, sex, commitment, work and prpose in life can be meaningfully understood and appreciated from a

Christian perspective. Some years ago, I attended a lecture given by an atheist who once was a Roman Catholic. During her presentation, the speaker described how she had come to reject the existence of

God.

Essentially, she felt that

she had no choice but to deny a God whom she had been raised to see mainly

as a harsh judge, a quick punisher. In her view, this

God and the churches in

his service were essen-

tially cold, removed from human life and authorit-

arian. When she finished speaking, my major reaction was: "She is absolutely right; a God like that shouldn't be believed in." This woman's notion of God was essentially infantile, underdeveloped and, in my opinion, just plain wrong. Since

she could not reconcile

that view of God with what were obviously her own more positive exp riences and feelings about life, she felt conpelled to deny God's existence.

a couple. Tom and Arlene recognised the need for faith; this brought them together in a strong marriage. They had it all: each other, a family, success But problems came, dis appointments, some loss of security.

Now in their 50s they say: "We know a pervading sense of peace. God is always with us."

"Age has an advantage, she thinks. People trust you more; so when you reach out to bring the Lord to them they don't resist. Fulfilling my commitment to serve him is easier as I grow older." People hunger to talk about God, says Judy They need a grand motherly ear to pick up the fears and hurts and guilts and be reminded that God loves them I must say that the privi lege of entering into another's life has widened mine."

Many of St Paul's converts in Corinth considered themselves very grownup, mature, sophisticated. They were wise in the ways of the world and could smartly spout all the latest philosophical jargon, which was the "in" thing in their society. apostle's The assessment of them was quite different. Me complained he could not talk to them as spiritual persons because they were only "infants in Christ. I fed you with milk and did not give food you solid because you were not ready for it. You are not ready for it even now" (1 Corinthians 3:1-2). The Corinthians' conduct gave them the lie. They talked like adults but acted like children: selfish, petty, egocentric.

ODD

Maturity is not just

a matter of smartness; it does not come automatically.

Ageing is inevitable but maturing takes effort. It involves taking all of reality into account, facing it squarely and acting accordingly. A view of the world which does not take God into account is only a partial view, limited and woefully inadequate for truly mature human conduct. And for a Christian to live without seriously implementing the teaching and selfless example of Jesus' love is folly. later in the same letter, Paul will address another dangerous weakness; smug complacency. Some Corinthians acted as though they had it made since they had Christ's forgiveness in baptism, were one with the risen Lord and nourlshed by the eucharistic food. What more did they need? Why did they still need to growT Paul clearly implies that Christians find the guidelines to balanced, mature living in the Scriptures. They must reflect seriously on them and apply them honestly to their own lives.

Cause through first stage

WAIT senior lecturer, Dr Peter Hruby who is retiring soon, will have more to do than merely be pursuing gardening interests. With a life dedicated to study, lecturing, pouring in (through obtaining three Master of Arts degrees, one Doctor of Philosophy, two Diplomas and one Certificate), and pouring out (with published works in a variety of notable magazines, plus prepared papers and a published book), Dr Hruby's contribution and recycling of his knowledge to society, has been great. During his forthcoming retirement he intends to continue writing and his second book will be finished this year.

LONDON: Twentyeight years after it began, the cause for the canonisation of Cardinal Newman has reached the end of its first stage.

Iilil

At a Mass in St Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham, Archbi-

shop Couve de Murville of Birmingham presided over the formal handing over to Rome of the diocesan papers relating to the cause of Newman, Catholicism's most famous convert, who lived in Birmingham for 42 years.

It was on June 17 1958 Archbishop Grimshaw of Birmingham formally opened the cause of Cardinal Newman's canonisation with the warning which has proved remarkably prophetic, that "there must be no thought in the mind of anyone that the canonisation of Cardinal Newman is imminent" For 21 years, the Fathers of the Oratory, the order which Newman founded in Birmingham, collected all of his extant writings, ranging from the public sermons to the private letters. In 1979, an Historical Commission was established in the diocese, to assess the cardinal's life history, writings and the growth of a public devotion to him. When the papers reach Rome, they will be examined by the Congregation for the Cause of Saints, the Vatican body which reports to the Pope on evidence of sanctity. The Birmingham diocesan case does not apparently contain evidence of miracles resulting from devotion to Newman but, although the proof of two such miracles is usually required, the rule can be waived. Cardinal Newman was horn in 1801 and is widely regarded as the most significant Catholic figure of his century.

When the communists took over in 1948,

they nationalised everything and considered him a capitalist because he had an employee!" He was also a member of the Catholic People's Party this, plus the fact his two sons had left Czechoslovakia illegally, went against him." ' He also refused to hang out flags for Stalin's birthday celebrations and propaganda purposes, so they took him out of his shop and put him into a store selling toys, of which he knew nothing about!", said Dr Hruby This was the general pattern once communists moved in. They replaced all the intelligentsia and professionals with the lower working classes "Thus the head cleaner of the university, became the leader of the university in Prague," Dr Hruby said "And fellow cleaners and students were given teaching positions in the university. 'The professors and anyone with any academic or professional knowledge, were sent to work in the mines and such places," he said

'This was repeated again with the 1968 invasion. Half a million such people were demoted. "labourers and unskilled were given the jobs of the top professions, such as doctors, engineers, professors and so on, and they were given manual jobs; their replacement by unskilled workers helped to ruin the economic structure and standard of living "Mostly Czech communists, these people were dismissed because they did not consider the invasion to be fraternal help as the Soviets called it," Dr Hruby said Having left Radio Free Europe, Dr Hruby taught Soviet studies, International Law and Relations, History of Western Civilisation and Comparative Government with the University of Maryland, US, in 1965 Attached to the overseas division of the university, he taught at Amencan bases,

"Americans encourage evening education for the soldiers, especially among their officers," he said. 'They retire at 40 years of age, so study to obtain degrees which will enable them to take up teaching jobs or whatever, when they retire from the services. 'The University of Maryland {Boston University does likewise), sends professors, resident lecturers they are called, to all their bases, so I taught in Thule, Greenland, (the northernmost settlement in the world), spending five fascinating months there," Dr Hruby said. "] was sent then to Bermuda for another five months. 'The military looks after its personnel really well and their food fare at these bases is quite sumptuous, even to the inclusion of champagne breakfasts!" he said. Dr Hruby subsequently taught in Pakistan, Berlin, Heidelberg and Turkey.

"I is an interdisciplinary study. I want them to see what it means to live there, so they even do drama to act out the reality based on Czech playwrights like Havel, the most prominent Czech and international playwright."

John says in the United States there are more than 800,000 timeshare owners and in Australia nearly 20,000. There are now five timeshare resorts in WA. Acceptance of the con-

cept, he continues, has grown dramatically in the past two years.

There are now about 500 time interval owners at Busselton Beach Resort, which has 26 villas and a capability for 40 villas. Since 1984, the number of resorts in Australasia and Fiji has grown from 17 to 46.

He says the main reason for buying a timeshare interval is the exchange opportunities it offers. His experience overseas has proved to him few other places have the exchange attractiveness of Busselton Beach Resort on Geographe Bay. "la addition to the resort villas there, which are luxury accommodation, " he says, "there is a function

room, adult lounge, boating, sailing, tennis, squash, bowls, sauna and spa, exercise equipment, cycle riding, games room, fishing, golf, swimming pool and so on all free to interval owners and their guests.

"A timeshare interval at Busselton Beach Resort means a fully self-contained villa with all facilities at your disposal free of charge. "AII linen, crockery, cutlery, television, refrigerators, stoves -even microwave ovens -are top quality to make your stay as enjoyable as possible." John's enthusiasm for the whole concept, and in particular for Busselton Beach Resort which pioneered the idea in this state when it opened under its present entirely Western Australian management in July 1983, is a factor in WA leading Australia in acceptance of timesharing.

OBITUARY

Monsignor Pat O'Reilly

The health of the late Monsignor Pat O'Reilly held out just sufficiently to set in place the organisation for the November visit of Pope John Paul. Anticipating a busy year he had advanced a visit late last year to his 9O year old mother in Ireland and on his return had to undertake hospital dialysis three days a week while establishing the organising committees and other arrangements for the pope's visit. With complications developing after a successful kidney transplant his last working day was a meeting late in May with the Vatican team inspecting final arrangements. Originally from Galway, Ireland, he came to Australia in 1953 at the age of 17 and worked for two years as a salesman in Fremantle followed by six months national service in the RAAF before commencing studies for the priesthood at St Charles' Seminary, Guildford. Further studies in Adelaide were followed by his ordination in Ireland along with his brother, John, a Dominican priest, on July 14 1963. He was assistant priest at St Mary's Cathedral until his appointment as acting secretary during the last year of Archbishop Prendiville, becoming secretary to Archbishop Goody for the following 13 years During that time he was master of ceremonies at St Mary's Cathedral. In 1977 he became priest in charge of Como parish until his appointment in 1981 as administrator and dean of St Mary's Cathedral in succession to the present Archbishop Foley, then promoted to Geraldton diocese. He was named a monsignor in 1982 and appointed a diocesan consultor. In June 1985 he was appointed parish priest of Nedlands and in September was asked to be WA director of the Papal Visit. He was Catholic spokesman to the media for the past 15 years and other appointments included: Membership of the original commissions for Ecumenism, Liturgy and Justice and Peace, of the Catholic Radio and Television Committee, and was current membership of the Archdiocesan Liturgy Committee and the Christian Television Association.

He was secretary to the Council of Priests from 1970-77 and later an appointed member for three terms. He was chaplain to the Knights of the

Archbishop s tribute

Monsignor O'Reilly gave himself totally to whatever tasks came his way, Archbishop Foley said in St Mary's Cathedral last Sunday. 'The bigger the task the more he enjoyed it," he said Before launching the archdiocesan vocations campaign he noted that Monsigner O'Reilly had spent 17 of his 23 years as a

Southern Cross to the Catholic Police Guild and the Irish Club. He is survived by his brother Sean in Beaconsfield, his mother, his sister Kathleen, and his brother John in Ireland and his brother Tom in the USA May he rest in peace.

priest, serving at the cathedral 'Those years were always about meeting people besides administering the sacraments and preaching the word of Christ 'The priestly work that he did so well can be found in the deep personal relationships with many many people as evidenced in so many published death notices "His life was full, very satisfying, pleasing to the Lord, and of great value to the Church."

Premier's respects The Premier of Western Australia, Mr Brian Burke paid the following tribute:

I like many other Western Australians, have been privieged to know Monsignor l O'Reilly as a friend and to have sought his advice and counsel on many occasins. o Father Pat as he continued to be known with great affection even after his elevation to the rank of monsignor, was an inspiratin o to us all. That respect has been confirmed by Church leaders and people of various other denomiations n who have paid the

highest tribute to hi m "T am sure the Catholic populatin o of WA will mourn the loss of a great priest. They will, for many years to come, benefit from his hard work, understanding and more especially his compassion and friendliness "I have no doubt the success of the forthcoming visit to our State by Pope John Paul ll wil,l to a large extent be attributable to the planning and the many hours of dedicatin o whih c Monsinor g O'Reilly contributed to the WA segment of the Pope's

Australian itinerary."

Holy Spirit you who solve all problems light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in al) instances in my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as I confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you ever in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with you in eternal glory.

A verse selection by Australian poet The New Oxford Book of Australian Verse, chosen by Les A. Murray, published by Oxford University Press Australia. Bound edition $30.00. Born on the north coast of New South Wales, Les Murray is one of Australia's most respected and widely read

poets.

His work appears regularly in the leading magazines in Australia. America and the United Kingdom and has been widelv translated In this extensive survey of Australian poetry from the early days of European set tlement to the mid-1980's the poet Les Murray turns away from much that has been commonplace in recent anthologies. This collection is designed first and foremost for the general reader Biography and critical commentary are eschewed, in order to focus attention on the poetry as an art Poems by forgotten and long-neglected poets are revived, and a number of fascinating discoveries are presented for the first time. The bookabounds in ballad and folk verse, and presents more Aboriginal verse and translated song-texts than any other anthology. Although he does not strain to avoid anthology pieces where they are clearly among their authors' finest work, the editor has made his selections boldly, aiming always at freshness and surprise. Putting the common mys tery of the poetic experience above even his other watchwords of freshness and readability, LesMurray has achieved a coverage of Australian verse-making that is at once even-handed, provocative and excitingly accessible

A Man for our time (Frank Duff and Tbe Legion of Mary) by Hilde Firtel published by Tbe Mercier Press Ltd Dublin

and marketed through EJ. Dwyer, Sydney. $8.95. This book is a biography of Frank Duff.

In the Preface, the author, Hilde Firtel, states a person standing directly in front of a high building, does not get a comprehensive view of it. Only from a certain distance will he recognise its real size, its exact outline. Something similar may be said about men who mark their age and set signposts for the future. An attempt to sketch the life of Frank Duff is subject to certain limitations. The research needed on a life of over ninety years with countless repercussions throughout the world, would fill numerous thick volumes; it would be a lifelong task Only the future will show the full stature of this man and his influence on the life and development of the Catholic Church

The contemporaries and

first followers of Francis of

Assisi or Ignatius of Loyola, despite their enthusiasm and veneration for their founders, were probably unable to grasp their true greatness. If in spite of all this I take upon myself the task of writing a biography of Frank Duff, this is because I have been asked to do so, first by the German speaking members of the Legion of Mary in view of my longstanding friendship with their founder, and then by the COncilium Legionis in Dublin.

THE WAY OF THE CROSS

In The Way of the Cross

Richard Holloway follows Christ's journey to Calvary

and explores the significance of the killing of Christ. In his contemplation of The Way of the Cross he shows what it can teach us, not only about our own nature but about the nature of God himself The book raises lots of questions to think and meditate over. Richard Holloway is Rector of the Church of St Mary Magdalen, Oxford. Highly thought of within the Anglican Church, he is an academic, theologian, and a writer of considerable distinction. The Oxford Dictionary of Natural History, edited by Michael Allaby, Foreword by David Attenborough. Published by Oxford University Press Australia. Bound edition $50.00. Michael Allaby is an experienced writer and broadcaster on the environment. From 1970 to 1973 he was Managing Editor of the Ecologist and contributed to the Blueprint for Survival. Since 1973 he has been a full-time writer. Popular interest in natural history is widespread and constant, outliving transient fashions tht attract people to other subjects, as each generation discovers that some knowledge and understanding of the natural world enhances our enjoyment of the countryside. In recent years other scientific disciplines, some of them relatively new, have added greatly to our knowdedge, but in doing so they have introduced concepts and terms that may be unfamiliar to non-specialists This dictionary lists many groups of plants and animals, but it also includes terms from ecology, statistics, earth sciences, atmospheric sciences, and biochemistry that may be encountered in literature dealing with

Recapturing some of the astonishing popularity Bluey and cartoons Curley received during the war years, in this book of 150 of Alex Gurney's famous cartoons. In the early 1930's and 40's, "comics were a sin," writes Keith Dunstan. The child

If you needed pictures you went to the Illustrated London News or if you wanted humour you went to Punch The theory was this. Pictures were too easy. They inspired mental laziness They did not require intellectual effort like the printed word. So comics and comic strips in particular, were despised and even condemned by the educated classes. There is a tragedy in this for the researcher. Important libraries like the La Trobe in Melbourne ignored the entire comic scene They were happy to collect every suburban and country

Even the Herald did not

think it worth its while to preserve the cartoon books of its most famous cartoomist

Late in the 1950's and early 1960's this attitude began to
