LONDON: The need for the Church to develop educational programs about drugs and to contribute premises for rehabilitation of addicts has been highlighted by a report on drug addiction released by the Catholic bishops' confemce of England and Wales. The report emerged from the bishops' concern at the rapid spread of drug addiction throughout the country, and the wish of the conference to consider how the Church "might cooperate with statutory and voluntary organisations in responding to the problem". The report stresses a "practical, rather than an academic or theoretical approach".

Chairman of British bishops Cardinal Hume

Drug addiction, the working party asserts, is worse than alcoholism for several reasons: • drugs are taken deliberately to reduce self-control, and "social drug-taking" cannot be controlled in the same way as social drinking; • drug addiction takes hold more quickly, so that drug addicts are

from our London affiliates

usually young, and deaths occur early; • drug addiction leads to offences to pay for the habit which may have "a more devastating effect on the families of addicts than is the case with alcohol"; • a chain reaction is created between the drug users and the dealers, who "are interested only in profit, not the lives or deaths of the users". The working party recommends a four-point plan of action for the Church. First, they cite the "real need to inform and educate" clergy, teachers

and lay organisations. They recommend publications and programs, adaptable at parish, deanery or diocesan level, to increase public awareness. But, they continue, "one should not underestimate the need for teaching about drug addiction and its consequences in schools, even in the upper classes of primary schools". Secondly, the report says the initial treatment and detoxification of the drug addict is a specialised task, and "it may not be appropriate for the Church to be involved in this field". But "rehabilitation after treatment is another matter".

As the addict recovers he needs to spend a prolonged period, perhaps six months or a year, in a supportive and therapeutic environment "in order to regain self-respect and self-control". The third area in which the Church might help, the report suggests, is in the provision of support for families who have suffered the "shattering" impact of drug addiction.

Father Gandini

Father John Gandini, Salesian, acting parish priest of Kelmscott since January is to return to his home religious province of Novara in Northern ltaly. Born in Subiaco and educated by the Brigidine Sisters and the Marist Brothers, he continued his education in ltaly with the Salesian Order when his family returned there in 1961. His father is now deceased but his mother and younger brother still reside in Italy. Father Gandini came out to help the Salesians move into their first parish in WA at Victoria Park and he helped out in different parishes including two months at Floreat Park before moving to Kelmscott in the wake of the retirement of Father Brunetti. In Italy he will resume the school teaching and parish work in which he was previously engaged. Father Michael Keogh of Victoria Park will take over Kelmscott from Father Gandini and will be replaced at Victoria Park by Father Lionel Henry.

Australian Catholic Relief has announced a grant of $50,000 for victims of recent fighting in Lebanon. This grant brings to $264,000 the amount donated by Australian Catholics to Lebanon through ACR since 1982. Other recent ACR emergency grants have been: $5,000 -- to assist victims

of a serious fire in Bang-

Planning a moral stance

It is not surprising that a note of national revulsion built up around the tragic tale of abuse of two young children in Sydney this week. They are the type of incidents that can be reported dispassionately deep inside newspapers if the abuse happens in some remote comer of the world. On the other hand. our emotions tell us. it is not the sort of neglect that ought to happen in civilised Australia, nor to which police and social workers ought to be subjected in this enlight- ---------ened age. OTTAWA: Natural It will no doubt take the Sunday supplements family planning is not time to flesh out the wretched and sad just a technique but a background to the parents who carry the added moral stance that extra punishment of being protectively guarded demands dialogue and from other criminal elements in the gaols. mutual respect from A burst of emotional publicity feeding on the husband and wife, strong feelings of indignation is not necessarily said a Vatican mesproof that we know everything that is going on sage to an internaor that we really care.

□□□

The Sydney incident occurs alongside increased confidence to uncover publicly the reputedly widespread moral abuse to which children are subjected and not necessarily in conditions of physical depravity. The sorry procession of cases through the public courts offers only the scant protection of anonymity while gaol inmates apparently exercise their own scale of values in such matters. This week's publicity is just sufficiently removed from the mood of two years ago when not just two children, but literally millions, were seen in the most obscene of all child abuse hunger and death in their mother's arms. There was even talk that the nightly viewing of so much pathetic suffering was almost an overkill of human sympathy. At any rate the cameras moved away. food was pumped on to the wharves and presumably the child abuse ceased, even though the reports from southern Sudan and Ethiopia still tell a different story. Times have been worse, no doubt. The comparatively fresh memory of what happened to children as the Industrial Revolution shifted populations from countryside into the harshest of town sJums assures us that society today has the will, if not always the social apparatus, to give children the protection they need. Where urban, post-industrial society is now adrift is in its lack of the defined principles on which a society ought to protect its young. Wrthin living memory, nations especially in Asia are forcibly reversing the most basic of human expressions: that procreation was the key to survival. The poor practised this instinct the most.

□□□

Western society has trimmed its reproduction to few or even no children and it would be vain to believe that technological success in doing away with unwanted children means automatically that society and parents will treasure more, or grow themselves to greater maturity, by the one or two offspring that times will dictate them to rear. This week, a popular radio programme has produced evidence of a growing unease by parents of young children that society at large seems reluctant to enjoy its youngsters in public. The woman who finds hersetf pregnant apparently gets a mixed reception unless she verifies that the child is truly what she wants in this life. Resistance to abortion by pro-life groups is now countered with suggestions that efforts be channeled into hypothetical human destruction in war, or even to saving whales and other endangered species. A fundamental love and respect for all life, not only the carefully selected and pampered, for the degraded, the hungry, the battered, the lost the lonely is the deepest of all spiritual truths and not just for Christians. It would be a pity if a cursory tear for the Sydney victims obscures the deep malaise that afflicts too many hearts and families today. 4

values behind their approach as well as the techniques involved. 'The choice made by a couple of the natural methods implies an acceptance of the cycle of the woman, and thus an acceptance of dialogue, mutual respect, shared responsibility and selfcontrol," wrote Cardinal Edouard Gagnon, president of the Pontifical Council for the Family, in a message to the International Federation for Family Life Promotion. Stressing the moral dimensions of "responsible procreation," Cardinal Gagnon said that with natural planning methods sexuallty is "never used as an 'object' and no attempt is made to impede its life-giving dimension." "Natural methods of fertility regulation," he said, "differ anthropologically and morally from contraception, sterilisation or abor-

tion."

GLASGOW(NC) Archeologists have begun digging in southwest Scotland for artifacts of a fifthcentury saint named Ninian who preceded the more famous St Columba as a missionary. Whithorn, the site of the dig, is where St Ninian built a stone church called Candida Casa in Scottish lore. The Church was described in eighth-century literature. The site includes ruins of a 12th-century monastery. St Ninian is honoured by Catholics and Anglicans who are represented on a trust established to supervise research work and raise funds. The saint was born in what is now England and preached to the southern Picts, an ancient Scottish tribe, after entering the priesthood. He founded a settlement which became a monastic training centre drawing many Irish monks in the sixth century. The reputation of St Columba, a sixth-cen-

Tide of interest LONDON: The number of people listening to BBC religious programs has increased by more than a quarter in the past year. The unexpected and unprecedented increase has been described by the BBC as proof that "the tide of interest in religious belief and experience is rising.

A risk in overwork VATICAN CITY (NC): Religious who overwork themselves in pastoral tasks run the risk of becoming spiritually empty, said Pope John Paul II in a message sent to the Brazilian Religious Con-

"It is easy, therefore, to run the risk of falling into an activism which could lead to a spiritual emptiness and a premature exhaustion," the pope said

Gillick children to make decision

LONDON: The Gillick children

will decide whether their mother, Mrs Victoria Gillick,

should carry on with her campaign against the prescription of contraception and abortion to under-16s without parental consent.

Maltese in an accord VALLETTA, (NC): Maltese church and state officials reached a temporary accord which provides 50 per cent state financing of Catholic high schools for the 1985-86 school year and the coming school year.

Scots dig to find

called the 1984 law a disguised effort to shut down Catholic schools because the Church lacked the funds to maintain the system without tuition. Most of Malta's private schools are Catholic. About 98 per cent of the 380,000 population professes Catholicism. The government also agreed licenses to operate schools would be issued for an indefinite period instead of one

year.

Church-state relations became tense over the 1984 law, causing Vatican officials to intervene in negotiations aimed at saving the Catholic high school system.

Mrs Gillick and her husband, Gordon, have decided that the interests of their ten children must now come first, following the publicity given to their 16-year-old daughter's holiday with her boyfriend in the Greek islands. "We can take everything that is thrown at us, but when it starts spreading to the children, then we have to start thinking again," she said. Most of the Gillick children have been the victims of "Gillickbaiting" at some stage during the campaign. After their eldest son was heckled at the local comprehensive, the twin boys were sent to a small secondary school out of the

county, but were victimised to such an extent that the Gillicks had to remove them and teach them at home. However, Mrs Gillick said at the height of the campaign last year that whe-

never she had had doubts about con-

tinuing the campaign in the past, her children had always encouraged her to keep going. ·'When Beattie comes home from her holiday, we will have a family poll and I will abide by the family's wishes," she said this week.

Prayers for peace ROME (NC) The departing Iranian ambassador to the Holy See said a representative of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini will be among the religious leaders attending a day of prayer for peace this October. "We have accepted the invitation" of Pope John Paul II, said retiring Vatican Ambassador Sayyed Hadi Khosrowshahi, "even if no one will be permitted to make a speech or transmit his own message of peace." Sheik Salman Ghaffari, the new Iranian ambassador to the Vatican, will attend the October meeting, Khosrowshahi said The October gathering of world religious leaders to pray for peace was announced in January by Pope John Paul II.

Ambassadors of God

VATICAN CITY: Angels are the "ambassadors" of God who carry people's requests to heaven, the pope said as he continued his meditation upon the existence and purpose of angels. In a continuing commentary on the reality and role of angels, the pope looked at Scripture to discern their purpose and work. Angels are "a special realisation of the 'image of God'," the pope said. As spiritual creatures, angels have been charged with mediating between mankind and God, he said.

But the figures follow on from the remarkable success of Lent 86, a series of Easter meditations and discussions organised this year by BBC local radio and the local churches.

Japanese record Jesuit martyrs TOKYO (NO) -- A new 22-volume history of Japan, published by Shogakkan, a large publishing house, includes a volume devoted to four Japanese Jesuits. The volume, "The Legates of the Tensho Era", focuses on Jesuit Father Julian Nakaura, who became a martyr in 1633 during a general persecution ofJapanese Christians and foreign missionaries. The inclusion of a Christian martyr in a series dealing with the most prominent figures in Japanese history is a recognition of Christianity as relevant to Japan's history. Most Japanese histories ignore or downgrade Japanese Christian history.

"In particular, to angels have been entrusted the special care and solicitude of humanity," the pope said. Citing examples in the 0ld and New Testaments, the pope showed that angels play an important role in the message of salvation, culminating in the last judgement when "they surround Christ and accompany him in fulfilment of his saving mission." "Down the centuries, the teaching of the church has always insisted on this aspect of the service of the angels to the mystery of salvation," the pope added.

Sister Noni Mitchell IBVM of Loreto convent Toorak has become the first Australian and the first non-Irish woman to be General Superior of the Irish branch of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sister Noni will lead over 1200 religious spread through the provinces of Ireland, England, Spain, Mauritius, Kenya, South Africa, India and Australia and the small region of Arizona and Peru. The superior-general and four councillors reside in Casa Loreto, in a suburb of Rome. It is also in Rome that the general of the German Branch of the institute resides. In fairly recent years there has been closer contact between the three branches of the institute -the lrish, German and the American generalates breaking down the earlier separation which came about chiefly for historical reasons. Sister Noni was the Australian provincial of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary from July 1974 until the beginning of 1984. Sister Noni entered the Loreto Novitiate at Mary's, Mt Ballarat, during 1954 after having practised medicine for some years with the South Australian School Medical Service.

Help us reach India's poorest In the Daltonganj Diocese in India, 24 Australian and Indian parish priests are concerned for the spiritual and temporal welfare of parishioners living in very isolated areas of their vast parishes, where roads are non-existent and tracks are incredibly rough. The problems of caring for these people are formidable. Many of the parishes occupy areas exceeding 40 square miles. Each parish has on average about 18 Mass centres where Mass can only be said every 4, 6 or 8 weeks. Keeping the faith alive under such circumstances is most difficult. Parishioners Bishop George Saupin, S.4., want their priests to come more often. They need a great Daltonganj Diocese. deal of help in their struggle to survive.

Power behind the voice of the Vatican... antennas at Santa Maria Galeria's transmitting centre about 30 kms from Rome.

The living standards of people in isolated areas are deplorable. Most people are uneducated in basic hygiene, nutrition, child and health care. They don't know how to avoid sickness ... or what to do when it occurs. When they become sick they continue with their daily work until they become helpless. By then it is often too late to save them. Most people work on the land as marginal farmers and landless labourers. They are simple, hard working people who don't have enough water ... can't grow enough food ... and don't get enough to eat. For most of the year they have to exist on one meal a day, usually consisting of fruits, nuts, roots, etc. gathered from the jungle. This lack of proper nourishment leaves them prey to malnutrition and every type of disease. Tuberculosis, cerebral malaria (kills in 2--3 days), dysentery, cholera (kills in 3--4 hours), typhoid, meningitis, night blindness, scabies, tetanus, polio and the usual children's diseases cause much distress and suffering. Infant mortality is very high, and in some areas over 52% die before the age of two years. Establishing parishes in areas of great concern is one of the Diocese's chief tasks. For each parish is not only a centre for spiritual needs, but a centre for adult and child education, medical needs and health education, legal aid for the exploited, and projects to improve water resources and food production. Lasting solutions depend largely on education ... showing the people how they can help themselves. The whole thrust of our work is so very dependent on outside aid. The Bishop, George Saupin, has appealed to Australians to help establish new parishes. Land must be purchased, buildings erected and equipped, and parish personnel paid... priests $35 a month; sisters and nurses $44 a month; full-time catechists, teachers and parish staff $56 a month.

A vision for a

A university graduate, six

months into the work world, came for a visit. She indicated how happy she was with her job, how much she was enjoying the independance of a steady income and how quickly she had adjusted to the role of career woman. Then she sighed and said, "The only thing l miss is a cause something to put my extra energies into." There are many who espouse causes and plenty of issues that need someone to champion them.

What is a "consistent ethic of life" and why should Christians be concerned about it? Father Herbert Weber finds that many life-and-death issues in the contemporary world have a common starting point the need for full awareness of the value of life. Father Weber, pastor of St Thomas More University Parish in Bowling Green, Ohio, says that a consistent ethic helps to provide a basic vision for life. Debbie Landregan, editor of the Texas Catholic, Dallas diocesan newspaper, notes how difficult it is to be consistent about anything, even following a recipe for beef stew. She asks: How can a person be consistent in applying the consistent ethic of life? There are always life issues close at hand that call for a compassionate response from Christians, writes Katharine Bird. The associate editor of NC's Religious Education Package discusses the meaning of a consistent ethic of life. Father John Castelot, using the familiar biblical story of the woman caught in adultery, shows how respectful Jesus was of the human dignity of the people he encountered.

by Father HERBERT WE,

ly response to the young woman, however, was not about how to pick a cause. Instead l suggested that she look for a vision that could underlie a cause. Causes may be won or lost; but a vision has a staying quality that can be applied to many individual concerns. A particular vision that Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago has championed is known as the consistent

ethic of life. It states that many life-and-death issues many causes -have a common starting point: an awareness of the full value of life. In any parish, much of what is done daily focuses on life. New life is celebrated, the dying are visited and those who are grieving receive consolation. Within most communities there are also reminders of specific lifethreatening issues.

At other times, though, life is not readily valued. A couple of years ago l saw the film "The Killing Field." In this true story about two reporters in Cambodia, there were some frightful scenes depicting the Kmer Rouge regime. The young soldiers did not hesitate to kill, in cold blood, others whom they disliked or disagreed with.

Of course, Mother Teresa speaks often of the need to provide food to the poor. But what she says about this seems almost always to be joined with the advice that in giving one will receive - that the poor have a way of getting a message across to those who are better off about what it really means to share. Mother Teresa is a tiny woman with a large message. But how does one sum it up? Is it about abortion, or hunger, or children's needs, or the dying? It is about life and about Christianity; that much is certain. Mother Teresa is a woman who makes many connections that she considers important not just plane connections as she jets around the globe, but connections regarding the scope of Christian action that serves life. Should others try to be as much like Mother Teresa as possible directly involved in so many areas of concem? Mother Teresa is Mother Teresa. Most others probably cannot be just like her; if nothing else, their circumstances will often differ too much

What is the main interest of Mother Teresa of Calcutta? As she travels, her words against abortion and on behalf of the unborn have become well known. Well known also is Mother Teresa's work in Calcutta among the poor who are dying. And her efforts for children caught in a Middle East war zone were widely publicised.

Canadian author Margaret Atwood creates a brutal, falsely religious ociety in her riveting novel, "The Handmaid's Tale", (Houghton fiflin Co., 1986). Reminiscent of George Orwell's "1984", it portrays a society rhere human dignity is trampled on ruthlessly and human rights bn't exist.

From the womb to the tomb

Cardinal Jaime Sin left a

recent group of listeners

with more than a nice statement when he urged them to go home and give their babies " flying kiss from the cardinal" and to "wipe the tears from the eyes of the old people in your homes." Those remarks by the archbishop of #Manila illustrated two modern prob lemns that threaten life at both ends of the spectrum - abortion and ethandsia. Protecting the sanctity of

life from womb to tomb has

been a concern of the Church since the time of

the apostles. Then believers were urged to reach out to those less fortunate than themselves, from orphans and widows to lepers and the poor. Today this focus is sometimes called the "consistet ethic of life" r the

"seamless garment" of life. May Catholics have no problem accepting the premise that the sanctity of life be preserved and pro-

tected in all instances. Where problems arise is in applying the ethic consistently. Consistency is hard to achieve even in the simple things of life, such as following a recipe for beef

stew, maintaining an even pressre on a cars gas pedal or being fair in disciplining or rewarding child-

ren. How much more difficult, therefore, is it for a person to be consistent in matters f life and death, particlarly when time and resour. ces are limited. One risks the temptation to isolate an issue, such as abortion or nuclear war. fare, without looking for its link to other life issues. Mow can a person be consistent in applying the consistent ethic of life? Cardinal 0'Connor, arch, bishop of Mew fork, told 1986 graduates at The

Catholic University of America that the US bishops try to answer two central questions in all their pastoral letters: "What does it do to people? What does it do for popie?"" "What those questions

do," he continued, "is remind us that the sense of

From page 7 cians also accompany him to provide live coverage. The Director-General of Vatican Radio is Father Roberto Tucci who is both an award-winning journalist and a noted Church scholar. 'This is a very important apostolate and we aim to be as professional as say the BBC or The Voice of America," he told me. Father Tucci himself leads the team of technicians and broadcasters when John Paul II heads for a far-off continent. In just over seven years he will have managed to visit nearly 30 countries. The station's 600 different programs each week total more than 13,000 hours of broadcasting a year. And the mission is the same on any frequency: to promote the sense of the worldwide comespecially munity, among those most isolated by distance or religious persecution. Commenting on its aim, John Paul Il has said "in offers the Church instant communication without the barrier of national boundaries." Vatican Radio is an offshoot of the 1929 Lateran Pact by which Italy accorded the Holy See the status of a sovereign state. Within four days of the signing of the treaty, Pope Pius XI summoned the inventor of the wireless, Guglielmo Marconi, and asked him to build a radio station inside the Vatican.

a0u

Vatican Radio technicians divide the world into eight major target areas. Using both short and medium wavebands, the transmission centre can broadcast six separate programs simultaneously, although most longrange broadcasts are beamed on three frequencies to give listeners the best chance of clear reception. That the station's service is appreciated can be seen from the thousands of letters it receives from many parts of the world. More than 50,00O letters poured in during 1984. Most of the letters tell their own stories the itinerant priest in Zaire who carries a shortwave set-and the voice of the pope -from one jungle village to another. And of the Chinese man who wept for joy when he heard the bells of St Peeter's afaft¢ter 22 'years in a labour camp. Vatican Radio has been described as "the voice of hope" for millions of believers, especially those under communist rule.

At the corner of Daglish and Cambridge streets was a well sunk as the source of their water by the Benedictines, who had moved on to New Norcia after having pioneered the area and given Subiaco its name. The olive trees they planted near Lake Monger were fruitful for many years and gave rise to the naming of the Olive Grove Estate that was later developed for housing. Other evidence of Benedictine activity Bill remembers from his childhood was a big hole in the ground between Grantham and Bournville streets where the monks had quarried limestone for building pur-

Beehive Industries was founded originally as a workshop for the senior citizens of Perth and has provided such people a chance to get together whenever they wish, performing tasks which are sub-contracted by other industries. Because of such useful activities and working in a [ friendly atmosphere, people who may have recently or long left the major work force, are able to regain a sense of usefulness and maintain their self-esteem. It also gives them the cha nee to be involved in the hectic and busy mainstream of industry at a pace which suits their leisure activities. Thus retirement need iz not prove an isolation " from the rest of the community should their more sedate life-style begin to pall. Although the pay is merely enough to cover bus fares and lunch, because it is a charitable organisation and IS barely viable, nevertheless the object is not to make money on the part of its employees, but to socia,lise and feel useful in the process. As a result of their activities, Beehive is sought out by big commissions and industry to per- . form tasks which are too labour-intensive for their

The "orphanage kids," as they were known, used to pick the olives from the trees nearby planted by the Benedictines, and there were also plenty of figs and carob beans. Th e orphanage had ac an olliive press and Bill's family bought the oil it produced for a shilling (about 10¢) a bottle.

KIEV (Russia): The village of Hoshiv in the Dolina district of Ukraine's Ivano-Frankovsk region once attracted pilgrims from the entire area. Now its church has been turned into a warehouse. Nevertheless, believers continue to visit the church on Sundays. Clandestine Ukrainian Catholic priests, most of them young, occasionally appear in the village. At Pentecost, which is known among Ukrainians as "the green holidays", the villagers decorate their wooden houses with icons and greenery. The police arrive with instructions to take down the decorations, but as soon as they leave the people put them back

Cardinal Gagnon said abstinence from sexual intercourse during the woman's fertile period, required in natural family planning, is not just a "negative" abstinence. "There is a positive concept of continence" that involves 'self-mastery" and control over one's sexuality, he said. He rejected use of artificial contraceptives during fertile periods as an adjunct to natural family planning. ''To advocate the combination of fertility awareness with the use of barrier methods during the fertile period would be to promote something alien to the fundamental character of natural family planning," he said. Because of this, he added, natural family planning "is gravely compromised" if it is forced Into a context In which it is offered to couples as one option alongside programs of artificial contraception. He urged advocates of natural family planning to emphasise the moral dimension of their approach rather than underplay it. "Ultimately, what is at stake in your work is not the teaching of a method or a specific technique, which could be used in a functional or utilitarian way or could be taught in the context of a value-free pragmatism," he said.

Sir, The attempts by Fr. Uren to place doubt on the status of the human embryo by raising the question of delayed and immediate animation is a dangerous academic exercise with the potential to damage fundamental Church teaching in relation to the sacredness of early human life If it is believed that a human embryo is not an ensouled human person from conception it could well be argued that abortifacients (morning after pill) and theoretically, early abortion are permissible. The point of ensoulment is not essential to this debate. That the early human embryo is inviolable under all circumstances

Is.

The Church teaches this inviolability because, whether the embryo is a human person or not, the biological sciences show precisely that it is able to develop by its own virtue and has extraordinary viability; as a new complete organism in the human species able to develop its full human potential of its own volition it must have moral status similar to that accorded to all other human beings. At that stage the embryo may not have yet developed its full potential as a person. On that count nor have I. The general English understanding of inviolable is that which may not be disturbed, have violence done unto it, be treated roughly or abused whether it is living or still matter. All of which occurs, even in the simple case of IVF Even though this is the critical factor rather than animation I believe Fr. Uren is wrong in his obvious preference for delayed animation over immediate animation t is true that the great Thomas Aquinas also favoured delayed animation. Fr. Uren failed to say that Aquinas based this view on the entirely erroneous biological opinion of the day that the embryo grew from a mixture of seminal fluid and menstrual blood As neither material had life it was believed both had to lie in decay before growth (similar to that of fungus) could occur. The later Church adjusted its teaching in accordance with the newly discovered scientific evidence and certainly not because abortion was increasing at an alarming rate; a view expressed in the book by John Mahoney SJ, recommended by Fr. Uren Mahoney also argues that as the soul cannot divide the incidence of twinning when the embryo divides establishes that ensoulment cannot take place at conception. Which embryo would have the soul? Melbourne moral philosophers, Fr. T.V. Daly SJ and Nicholas Tonti-Filippini argue that if the body and soul are understood in such a way that the body is the outward manifestation of

Some views on women

tians is a far worse thing than is the prospect of Christ being represented by certain human persons who were made in the image of God, endowed with human dignity, and who make up half of His Church.

Dying . .

Sir, f the tradition of the Catholic Church concerning the ordination of women is a 'serious obstacle to unity' (The Record July 10), between the Catholic and Anglican churches, then ts rt not the tire to re-evaluate that traditon An examination of some other Catholic traditions concerning women, apart from their suitability for the priesthood, may provide some useful insights:"Woman! You are the Devils doorway...tis your fault that the Son of God had to die; you should always go i n the mourning and rags." Tertullian "Woman is an occasional and incomplete being ... a

misbegotten male. It is unchangeable that woman IS destied n to live under man's influence and has no authority from her Lord" Thomas Aquinas "Woman i a s sick she-ass, a hideous tapeworm . . . the advance post of hell." John Damascene "Women's use i stwo-fold animal sex and motherhood"

Gregory.

Can we be absolutely sure that these views about women are not responsible, at least in part, for the Catholic Church's position on women priests? Surely the disunity of Chris-

Inquiry from Peter O'MEARA

president W.A. Riht a To Life Sir, The Victorian enquiry into options for dying with dignity, The Record August 10 has rts parallel with the WA. Law Reform Commission calling for submissions by August 30 1986 on medical treatment for the dying. We can be sure that the community will be subject to a softening up like that experienced in the abortion issue, man attempt to sell the value of human life of the sick, infirm, handicapped, and those experiencing great pain as of little consequence, and hence their having the option of being killed, all of course in their own best interests. The progression from abortion to euthanasia is an indication of the care, love, and responsibility, or lack of it which people in any community express in their every day living. I would urge West. Australtans who want to protect the rights, dignity, and value of their fellows to write a submission (no matter how long or short) to the WA Law Reform Commission as it relates to "Medical Treatment for the Dying" and express the need to support proper and good medical care to all West Australians, espe cially in their dying process

the soul it is reasonable to attribute the organic and personal individuality of the embryo to the organisation which is due to the soul. Therefore with the formation of a second individual in twinning a new soul comes into existence as the organisational essence. The organisation of this second embryo comes from the first embryo just as its organisation came from the parents. In other words the second embryo is ensouled exactly the same as the first. In cloning (which accordilng to Mr Justice Kirby is now possible in Australia) a new person can come into exstence by asexual means. On Mahoney's argument he would have to claim that the new person did not have a soul -as this form of asexual reproduction is similar to the twinning effect Notwithstanding, in the light of clear biological evidence there is no doubt that the earliest embryo must be accorded the status of a human person. Not only is the IVF simple case immoral in that the extremely high failure rate (approx 96%) results in an inordinate number of embryonic persons being placed in unnecessary circumstances of risk, as acknowledged by all parties and thus violated, the Church also teaches that a married couple does not have a right to a child (as the child is not a chattel and cannot be owned) but only a right to perform the conjugal act which may or may not result in a child. In this the conjugal act alone can be the only source of a new human life due to the absolute importance that is placed on the loving unitive and procreative nature of the act in providing the full identity and personality of the child. Therefore the conjugal act can be the only source of a new human life. The Church also holds that the intervention of a third party cannot be a substrtute for the conjugal act but may only assist its function for the act itself to fulfil its natural purpose. To the World Medical Association in 1983 Pope John Paul II reiterated this teaching when he said that "intervention (in the reproductive process) must not infringe on the origin of life, that is, procreation" The Catholic Bishops Joint Committee in Great Britain placed its main emphasis on this point in its opposition to IVF as they too hold that the unitive and procreative aspects may not be excluded from the act of intercourse The St Vincents Bioethics Centre in Melbourne has criticised the Response of the Diocesan Bioethics Committee in WA on this point as being unsatisfactory and incompatible with the Church's teaching in general The Melbourne centre clams that the human context of ordinary fertilisation is a truly human act in which body and mind act together as one whereas the human context of VF completely lacks this subjective involvement The Perth centre claims that the two are the same except they are not so joined There are many practical objections to VF apart from it being a flawed medical procedure, not the least being the dehumanising, psychological and financial pressures associated with it. Ultimately the complex moral issues involved will only be resolved in the light of the present teaching of the Church on related matters which cannot be cla med as irrelevant.

Procedures defended from Father W. UREN SJ Director LJ. Goody Centre for Bioethics Mr Sheridan accuses me (The Record August 7) of promoting the use of contraceptives contrary to the teaching of the Church .I presume he refers to my citation (The Record, June 19,) of an article by Father Norman Ford in the Australasian Catholic Record for October, 1983 detailing the collection of sperm subsequent to natural intercourse with either a cervical spoon or silastic condom. If this is his reference and the basis of his accusation, he is misinformed on three grounds. 1. Acervical spoon is not a contraceptive device. It is a clinical instrument for extracting a specimen of sperm subsequent to intercourse. It is not used either as a sperm barrier or as a spermicidal agent. If Mr Sheridan maintains this is just my opinion, I suggest he consult a doctor. 2. The silastic condom in Father Ford's article (l presume that to make such a serious accusation Mr Sheridan has read the article the detailed citation was given in my letter) is, of course, a specially sterile perforated condom. Its purpose is, once again, to collect a specimen of semen while allowing, as the Church prescribes for an integral act of intercourse, the residue of the semen to be deposited in the vagina. Once again its use is not contraceptive but medical. Being perforated it would be a rather inefficient barrier to conception! 3. Despite what Mr Sheridan states so unequivocally, the Church's ban on the use of contraceptives is not as unqualified as he suggests. In fact the only use which the Church proscribes is the use of contraceptives for exclusively contraceptive purposes, i.e., where the act of intercourse is freely posited while simultaneously using a contraceptive with the intention of preventing the possibility of conception. The Church, of course, does not forbid the use of oral contraceptives for other medical purposes: e.g., where a woman uses contraceptives under medical advice in an attempt to establish a regular period, or to promote fertility by "rebound therapy", or to inhibit menstruation for a legitimate purpose, or even to prevent conception where rape rather than intercourse freely entered upon is in prospect -the famous "nuns in the Congo" case during the Congolese revolution is the classic example in the moral theology literature. Unless therefore Mr Sheridan has other grounds for suggesting that I (and, by implication, Father Ford) have condoned the use of contraceptives contrary to Church teaching, I would be grateful if he would withdraw his accusation

The pay packet power

The young man or woman completes 12 years of schooling. The last few months are spent in a frantic effort to cram sufficient understanding and knowledge to pass the TAE. Then begins the uncertain struggle to find employment. Luckier than some, a clerical position is won at a large city firm. It is lonely facing the unknown. It is even a little frightening.

Genesis Il' is underway Genesis Two will be underway at Eagle's Nest on August 30. It is about meditation, contemplation and tuning into the power of God. It is open to former Antioch members and anyone

else interested. Participants must have left school or be over the age of 18 years.

Young people are looking for a genuine spiritual experience in their lives. More and more seem to want to get in touch with their own spirit and the Holy Spirit. In the quiet but notable success of the Antioch movement one finds that in the past four years 1,200 young people have

delighted in the weekly experience of praying.

With the experience of Antioch in the distance, older youth have expressed the

desire to further their

of understanding prayer. To this end a small group has met regularly at the Cathedral Parish Center over the past few months. There is a limit to the amount of discussion, debate and discourse that a person can take. Eventually even the most active young person finds a quiet spot to draw on the inner depth of the heart. Scrawled on a university blackboard was the phrase "Jesus is the Answer." Some clever person had written

underneath "What

is the Question?" Young people continue

to search for answers to life's great questions. When it comes

to the great questions about faith, one question leads to another. What is the meaning of suffering? ls there life after death? What is the after life like? Does God exist? How does God influence our world on a day to day basis? When does He do this? f He does, why does He bother? In the quiet, whether listening to creation around us, the city traffic, the words of scripture or the deepest stirrings of the heart, people begin to perceive a voice often lost in the static of everyday life. In quiet people hear God. In quiet places people also hear some-

one else -themselves - the true self.

Jesus often invited His followers to come away to a lonely place. Maybe His call can be heard again in Genesis

The sudden power of the

first pay packet, the inde-

pendence of living away from the controlling parental influence and the constraints of smaller brothers and sisters all adds up to an exciting new life style. In the fast lane with bright new

things on H.P.

Late nights and dizzy mom-

ings take their toll. Friends come and go, few seem loyal when the chips are down. Well laid plans go astray and even apathy sets in. Its not the job that is the problem -- even nagging parents are really ok (at least they stand by when the going gets tough ). What really seems to happen is that the hectic, frantic pace of life so attractive at first wanes in attraction and suffocates real joy. Think for a moment about your lifestyle. Is there a big human need for some peace and quiet? Is time for reflection of great value for growth? If your answer is yes to both questions, you may benefit by taking part in Genesis Two.

Advance harmony The practice of con-

templative prayer is especially valuable for advancing harmony and

peace in the world," according to the US bishops' 1983 pastoral letter on war and peace. It goes on -"For this prayer rises, by divine grace, where there is total disarmament of the heart, and unfolds in an experience of love which is the moving force of

peace. "Contemplation fosters

a vision of the human family as united and interdependent in the

mystery of God's love for all people." Contemplative prayer is far from being an escape from the world.

True solitude can send

young and old into the world with a new vision, new motivation, new dynamism to be Christ's leaven in a noisy world. Solitude can inject Christ's love into daily life.

Each person truly has but one goal. To become truly human, one discovers the deepest meaning of life and lives by it. Thomas Merton, a great contemplative monk of this century, spent his life in a quest for silence.

Comfort and hope for all those who are facing the hardships of life "This book is collection of things I have written about human hurting Including that greatest hurt of all, losing someone you love.

A Question of Grief, by Elizabetb Heike. Pubisbed by Hodder & Stoughton, $6.95.

"When cancer robbed Eli zabeth Heike of a close and trusted friend, her world was shaken to its core Overwhelmed by pain and grief, bewildered by the attitudes of those around her, she struggled to hold on to her faith in God. 'Bereavement has to be lived through,' she writes, 'but it can eventually bring us a resurrection: we can grow through it and indeed find peace and a curious kind of joy' A Question of Grief will extend a hand to the isolated and lonely, to those who are in pain. It will also bring insight and understanding to people caring for the bereaved."

He is chief of the International Song and Dance Company "Tanec" in Macedonia and was brought to Western Australia at the invitation of the Macedonia United Society to train the 100 members of tbe Perth Group. "Tanec" was formed in 1949 to enrich Macedonian folklore tbrough songs and dances, using the main regional characteristics from various parts of Macedonia. It tours world wide and deligbts audiences with its lively dances, music and dress.

"Tanec" tours not only cities, but also villages, towns and even in the jungles of Papua Neu Guinea. Tbe Perth group,

Ilinden, came into existence in the mid seventies,

said Zoran Coseski, who is the chief organiser of Mr Filipovskit's Perth tour. Tbe dancers are mostly students and it caters for three groups adults, 10-15 year olds and four to nine year olds. They dance at all ethnic festivals, schools and on International Day. Their costumes and pigskin leather shoes "Opinci" which are specially band crafted, are imported from Macedo-

The Authority of tbe Bible by CH. Dodd. Pubisbed by Fount. $8.95. "In studying the Bible, Dodd tells us, we are dealing with actual history, disclosing a meaning which reaches beyond history. and not with a myth whose factual content is negligible But if so, then the record must be studied by rational and critical methods applicable to historical records as such It is in this way that I have tried to approach the documents in this book he says upon the assumption that they will yield their meaning for religion to a strictly historical treatment, as they should, if the relation between history and the Word of God is such as Christianity affirms it to be In this treatment the Canon of Scripture is taken for granted, and from this follows a certain perspective in the view taken of the history which it contains This might appear as a limitation upon the strict objectivity of the method But the Canon was not arbitrarily fixed It shaped itself out of the course of events, and the it perspective which imposes is inherent in the nature of the process to which the documents testify. The limitations of the historical method are manifest. It raises many questions which pass over into the field of theology or philosophy. Such a book as this can at best provide no more than an introduction to a doctrine of revelation, with which the whole question of authority in religion is hound up."

"There is no sex discrimination in the dancing," said dancers Chris and

Goranco. "There are certain dances for men and ones for women, but anyone in any age group or sex, can participate in them, " they said. These dances are passed on from generation to generation and always based on the same traditional format

TENNIS by PETER MESSER

Results in this week's round of tennis pennant fixtures were the closest for the season with four matches being decided in the final sets of the day. In the A grade Lynwood, who looked comfortable with a five sets to two sets lead against Attadale, had to fight hard to avoid being overrun in the final sets. Lynwood won the match six sets 49 games to Attadale four sets 45. The other A grade match was not so close with Dianella winning nine sets 61 games to Willetton one set

27.

The B grade competition has only two more rounds of matches left to be played and there are still six of the

eight teams with a chance of being in the finals. In the games played this week, St Benedict's continued their unbeaten record defeating Dianella seven sets 49 games to three sets

36.

Attadale No.1 also remained undefeated when they defeated Willetton No.1 eight sets 55 games to two sets 27. St Benedict's and Attadale No.1 play each other next week in a very important pyschological battle for top position on the pennant

ladder. Greenwood managed to hold off a determined Attadale No.2 six sets 43 games to four sets 44.

Likewise Willetton No.2 were kept on their toes by Oueens Park winning six sets 5O games to four sets

44 games. In the women's pennant

Attadale No.1 continued their domination of the competition by defeating Greenwood twelve sets 72 games to 14. Attadale No.2 also won eight sets 66 games to Pignatelli No.1 four sets 52

games.

Queens Park staged a revival against Pignatelli No.2 to win their match six sets 69 games to six sets 54. The pennant tables at the end of round five are as follows: A Grade Queens Park 8 Lynwood 6 Dianella 4 Attadale 1 Willetton 1 B Grade St Benedict's 10 Attadale No.1 10 Greenwood 8

Attadale No.2 4 Willetton No.2 4 Willetton No.1 0 Queens Park O Women Attadale No.1 10 Attadale No.2 8 Pignatelli No.1 6 Queens Park 4 Pignatelli No.2 2

Any two of the next four teams have a chance of filling the other two finals berths. This Sunday August 17 the association has organised a social tennis day at St Joseph's Pignatelli,
