Father Curran argues that the points on which he dissents are not "matt rs of divine and Catho ic faith" but rather are matters "of ordinary, non-infallib e teaching." Citing a U.S. bishops' 1968 pa oral I ter, he argues that th re is room for p blic t i dissent within the Church under certa n cond ioos Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, in his I tter telling F ther Curran that
occurs n the 14th and the 21st day after conception."

They 1118 also different in their talents - their abilities to serve the community's needs, Monica Clarie observes.

The diversity among members of the early church is discussed by Father John Castelot. As the chutr?h�s first nHH11bers expanded into ph,ces like Antioch in Syria, or Gr88C6, a rich mix of""""'8 developed within local Christian communities, he writes.
Barnabas, apparently single .i linancWly Independent, "sold a f:ann that he owned aod mile a donation of the money, l2ying it at the apostles' feet" (Aa 4:37).
Ananias "likewise sold a p,cc, of property. With the

Monica Clark �'-������., · Would parish support extend beyond providing adequate food and shcl· ter and Include health care, educational oppor, tunlties and social and recreational amenities? What about the cmo· tlonal toll on both the receivers and givers of aid? Such questions don't confront most of us too often We recall the com· mitments m.ade by par· ishes to sponsor refugees at the end of the Vietnanl War as an exa.mplc of the community extending itself beyond ordinary wor of charity. But what about support for someone hett at h�. perhaps <omconc whose conK1cn,:e differs from our own">
The Record, September 4, 1986
I'm reminded of the Scripture read at Mass the Sunday after Easter. The community held goods In common, distri· buting to each whatever was nccdcd. Arc we called to do the same? Perh2ps the way of doing so changes, but the underlying value seems constant. A Christian community is called to be a body ot men and women so filled with love that whatever they have is shared That is hard 10 do. Some· times it means making changes that arc not easy or comfortable. I think of a neighbour family when, two teenage daughtcn agreed to share a bedroom so that a Guatemalan couple could stay in their home. And I think of a colleague who lent !us car indcfi nitdy to a friend who needed to make daily visits to a son d}ing of AIDS Things arc not easy either fnr the person who p�cs trust in the prom,ses of others. Will the
community renege on its support? Will the fanilly reconsider Its dcdsion to sh2tt house and home, coadudlng � have become too invasive? Will the bus commuter who shares his car decide that he's becoming too worn down by the hassles of mass tranSit? What then? Will othcn in the community be ready and
willing to pick up the burden for a while? Most pc,oplc may never
confront such dramatlc calls to sacrifice. But these examples arc a good way for us to rdlcct on our own reality. Community means not leaving someone aban· doocd, whether they arc physiC2lly ill, emotionally
distressed, materially dcpn,'Cd or just in need of a quiet listener or a supportive hug. In each of our commua · Illes, gifts for service abound Some people offer concrete fuundal aid, others emotional support. What is impor· cant is that the love flour· ishcs and continues to grow

Education Brief Not long ago Father Joseph Kenna participated m a Sunday Mass 1n a community where he wasn't well known, Standing m the congregation "felt a lrttle funny," he sad "I was alone while all the others were wrth their famclres ••
The experience gave Father Kenna a new understanding of what rt feels like to be different from others m a parish. It can lead to a feelrng of alienation, he suqgested. To counter that feeling, Father Kenna thinks rt rs imperative that everyone present a welcoming attitude in church. This is espeaally so tt people are standing alone or appear different from most others in the church. Sometimes all rt takes is a friendly smile or moving closer to a person standing alone, Father Kenna indrcated. Speaking al the diversity among the people of a parish - differences in race, age, expectat,ons, talents, attitudes Father Kenna said. "I like d1vers1ty m the

"EffflCtive ministries for the different kinds of singles are among the most crucial� fems American parishes face in the 1980s. And a disproportionate number of the young singles in America are Catholics: While 41 per cent of Protestants under age 30 have not yet married, 57 per cent of Catholics under age 30 have not yet married." (Notre Dama Study of Catholic Parish life, second report, 1985.)
"So many hues would be needed to paint an accun,ta picrun, of th6 parish, so many shapes and dimensions to .scut,t it. It is affected by everything around it - by the local - in which it is rooted, by all the ways people differ from one another; their n,ce and nationality; their age. sex and education; their attitudes and experiences." (From
"Ib« Parish: A PBOple,
a Mission, a Structure," 1982 statement by the U.S. bishops' Ad Hoc CommittBB on the Parish.) "Single Catholics Making Them FtJfll at Home." by Trudelle Thomas. There are some practical steps parishioners can take to keep single Catholics from feeling excluded by parish life, writes Ms TIK>mas, a single WOITJM1 in Cincinnati, Ohio. "Ba energetic in inviting singles into the church," she suggests. For eJCJ1mp/es, watch the language used in church communications - l'flferences which can cause single p#lrSOIIS to feel excluded; invite single penons to take on leadership roles in the parish; offer single persons to connect with others in the church, om, to om, as well as in groups; make sure that th6 rul needs of single adults are addressed, (Catholic Update, June 1984.
