The number of organisations working in the Church was staggering, Archbishop Foley said when he launched a new directory by the Catholic Social Welfare Commission for parishes and schools prepared in a loose leaf format so changes and additions can be made. Archbishop Foley noted the index alone had 20 headings He is pictured reviewing the directory with Mr Tony McAlinden, executive director of the commission, and Mrs Maureen Deacon who worked on the directory first as a student placement and then on a voluntary basis

"It is a matter of communicating with the people who do want to help," he said, urging the representatives to use local skills in informing parishioners. Archbishop Foley detailed the 1985 Advent appeal raised $106,109 up $14,000 on the 1984 amount. Other 1985 donations brought the total to $121,000. That amount, however, had to be supplemented by $703,000 from other

Ministries in the Church are seen differently depending on the image of the Church that is used, Archbishop Foley said at a special Mass in St Mary's Cathedral last Sunday. The hierarchical image sees ministries tied to the ordained ministry of the priesthood.

Other images of equal validity see a broader concept of ministry for the Church. Archbishop Foley was at the speaking commissioning of special ministers of the eucharist who will with help distribution of communion at the Mass of Pope John Paul on November 30.

Lightening load of charity

If only the work of the Catholic Charities could be better understood, the load would be lightened and the work expanded, Archbishop Foley said at the launching of the 1986 Catholic Charities Appeal.

church resources which were not limitless, he said. The Catholic organisations raised $79,000, other donations and legacies produced $53,000, and $30,000 was earned in interest. The archbishop listed the main beneficiaries of the 1985 advent appeal: Emmanuel Centre $18,000; Pregnancy Help $15,000; Youthcare $12,000; Catholic Migration $11,000; Catholic Care for Intellectually Handicapped $10,000; Centrecare Catholic Cottages $10,000; Centrecare $9,000; Child care services $9,500; Hosanna House $8,000; Apostolate to Deaf $5,000; Aboriginal Apostolate $4,500; Natural Family Planning $3,000; Pregnancy Help, Rockingham $3,000; Aboriginal Cottages $2,000; Aboriginal Education, Guildford $1,000.

Other special ministers will be trained and commissioned in parishes in time for Easter next year. (See page 2.)

The archbishop said the introduction of special ministers in addition to acolytes introduced to Perth archdiocese in 1974 would enrich the Archdiocese of Perth because they are chosen to serve their parishes. 'This widening of ministry of the Eucharist enables more and more, men and women, to contribute their special gifts to the care of the Church in service of the Eucharistic community and those sick in the community.

Appointment for Encounter

Raising the roof The roof of St Joseph's, Subiaco church was in danger of lifting last Sunday afternoon when hundreds of voices, boosted by the Fifth Military District Band (pictured below), held the first of two rehearsals for the massed choirs appearance at Belmont Park Mass on November 30. Emeritus Professor Frank Callaway took the singers through the program he will conduct before the Mass and Mr Richard Gill dean of the WA Conservatorium of Music conducted the Mass liturgy segment. Annette Goerke played the Subiaco church organ which the parish has offered for the Belmont Park Mass and which has to be specially tuned for the band accompaniment. Purvisonic Sound installed amplifiers to simulate conditions under which the choirs will be performing.

At a day long session at the Catherine McAuley Centre the promoters were helped by Carol Henderson, Brendan McKeague and Peter Hann to examine what action they could take and where they wanted to go next in their work. Needs discovered included more prayer, updated materials on vocations and support from surrounding parishes The parish representatives will work in conjuction with the Committee for Diocesan Priests and the Religious Vocations Council It was felt parishioners needed to be educated on the wider meaning of vocation and the meaning of a vocation to the priestly and religious life. For several of the participants the sessions were a lesson in how laity can be involved in issues of the Church such as helping people to discover their vocation

Lithuanian chaplain, Father Alfonsas Savickis was not only artist and sculptor but handyman fixer of his fibreglass mural (pictured top) being placed on the wall of Highgate hall along with a commemorative plaque held by Monsignor Michael Keating.

peace A bold relief on the side of the parish hall facing traffic coming up Vincent Street shows Pope John Paul with arms outstretched and from palm to palm of his hands the transformed boomerangs merge into peace doves. The fibreglass work is the concept and execution of Father Alfonsas Savickis, chaplain to the Lithuanian community and assistant priest at Highgate since his arrival in WA a year ago.

(discounts for bulk orders)

Father Savickis spent

two months on the work with technical advice and

support from Mr Peter Gelencser. "A Lithuanian meeting of the Cross with the Hammer and Sickle might be more dramatic than with the Boomerang, peace and love are bound to come back to many as a result of Pope John Paul's coming to meet us in Australia" the priest said this week.

"Even our dollar coins

Father Alfonsas was also an uncanny optimist when at the height of last Saturday morning's storm he rode a hoist to the crosses on the Sacred Heart church pinnacles to supervise the fixing of metallic symbols of doves of peace, which he designed and were constructed by Mr Felix Gamys. The two images are flood lit and the two facades of the church will also he permanently floodlit as beacons across Perth's northern suburbs.

"Wouldn't it be good for our hopes and yearnings for more true freedom and less bondage to be stirred and deepened with the coming of Christ's Vicar, hands extended, to embrace all. "His is the task to juggle with the tensions that would tear people apart and to create the magic of peace of heart.

"His hands do just that in the Highgate mural where like a rainbow the untethered boomerangs become the feathered wings of a dove. Was it not such a fine feathered friend that boomeranged back to Noah's Ark bringing signs of settlement after the submerging flood? Scriptures contain .the messianic hope that one day 'swords shall become ploughshares'. The boomerang becoming the dove is simply an Australian parallel.

R~cord Wrth television now swamped with block-buster mini-series on any and every fantasy and of fact or fiction, Australian Catholics would do well not to under-estimate the logistical achievement of having their own block-buster mini-series currently on national television. The overpowering cost of hundreds of hours of research, interviewing, filming, editing and finally producing a program that can capture a prime time national slot is not likely to be appreciated by a passive viewer slumped in a chair. Whatever the final verdict on the program, it has done that. For Geraldine Doogue it is obviously a labour of love. Her other private circumstances notwithstanding, she has generously lent her own personally high standing in the media to an extensive publicity build-up to attract attention to the series. In addition she has taken the risk few would dare, of weaving the narrative, initially at least, out of the fabric of her own South Perth family and parish experience and the primary and secondary schooling that went with it and for which she is grateful. There will be as many opinions as there are viewers on how you would go about such a study of the Church. Geraldine and co-writer George Pugh were commissioned, it would appear, to produce the program and the contrasting Signs of Crisis and the Signs of Hope segment yet to be seen are the way they chose to go. More light however is shed on the question by a lengthy apologia in the Weekend Australian in which Ms Ooogue delivers a veritable deluge of adjectives grim, uncertain, confusion, afraid, panic, paralysis, crises of confidence, calamity, hesitant... just in case anyone is hesitant to face up to the fact that there is a crisis. It makes good sense that children in the days of catechetics that are now the source of many adult's amusement children were taught to think long and hard on what it was like to be a Christian in the Circus Maximus just before the lions were let loose. The lesson usually ended with a few words about faith!

DOD The question unfortunately cannot be put because the answer has already come first: Change becomes equated to crisis; those who can't cope with change, who think the changes are not what they want, must be in crisis.

Pope John XXIII said there would be an a coming up to date with the "'aggiornamento" times; he didn't say how long it would take; the pope who was sure he would not see out what he had started did not promise it would be a smooth ride. "A Shifting Heart" may be the captive of its own diagnosis and therefore can be judged only on the evidence that is produced not on the material that was eventually not shown. The cameras looked long and hard at the lines of bishops and priests; if they had not exactly caused the crisis, they were certainly in the hot seat not being able to find a solution. Only a solitary archbishop was permitted a word of defence and that in response to the tired and predictable questions of every interview: contraception and women priests. Against the imposing background of Sydney's cathedral a declared Passionist priest church historian was given free reign to miss nobody in sweeping analyses of where it had all gone wrong. The thesis of crisis was well in place. This was compounded by a questionable segment which sought to make capital on the choice a well known Catholic couple had taken with regard to explicit Church teaching on the matter of the eucharist. William Byrne chose to say nothing, his wife only a few words but the voice-over commentary determinedly pushed a teaching that runs counter to Catholic dogma on the priesthood. The Byres may well be comfortable with their own conscience on the path they have chosen; others may applaud. But it is a sad twist to the meaning of change and crisis if Catholics loyal to the Church and its teachings are not allowed their own verdict too on such matters. It is only half time and we have withdrawn for refreshments and a chat. Some will rejoice that it has been said, others will be more confused. The program thus far proves beyond doubt that a Church that can produce so much comment and debate is far from dead or irrelevant to Australia today. lope will be the test. Perhaps that is what the shrewd Pope John Paul ll believes his contentious visit is all about.

The Record. November 13, 1986

Footy team bans blessing GLASGOW: players with a top Scottish football

team have been banned by their manager from blessing themselves after they score a goal. Mr David Hay, manager

of Glasgow Celtic, has said they may jump or shout but are not allowed to make the sign of the cross, especially in front

of their own supporters. The gesture is popular among players in many European and South

American clubs. Some do it before taking a penalty and millions of people saw Diego Maradonna bless himself after Argentina won the world cup. But Mr Hay declared a ban on what he called

"religious practices". "] want to see an end to players' blessing them-

selves on the field. Religion is, or should be, a private commitment, and while blessing yourself in public might

be acceptable in most other countries, it's not on in Scotland," he said. 'The nature of the Scottish way of life is such that this gesture can be inflammatory and I have been worried by chants from our supporters, urging the players to

do so.

"] have to emphasise that Celtic are not a sectarian club and I cannot allow it to happen here. "I appeal to fans to stop asking players to make this sign and I will be making the position clear to the players."

Forgiving a key to unity...

BELFAST: Forgiveness was the key to building a united Ireland, Bishop Cahal B. Daly of Down and Connor told some 750 young people who attended one of three special Peace Masses for the Year of Peace. "Only forgiveness can stop the production of the polutant which is violence," he said.

A guide to Irish schools

"Retaliation only violence. recycles Forgiveness says 'No to violence. Way' Forgiveness transforms relationships."

□□□ Bishop Daly said the young had a mission from Christ to overcome division, break down barriers and make the Church "a sign of unity and an instrument of God's peace." Christ had "killed hostility" by refusing to retaliate and forgiving his persecutors 'Forgiveness... introduces a new form of politics," he declared. "A politics of love. A of politics reconciliation." It was, he said, the true revolution the Christian revolution. ·The revolution which we need in Ireland is not the politics of 'armed struggle'. "This only perpetuates the self-destructive hatreds of the past and condemns us to prolong them into yet another century and another millennium." Praying for release from "this prison of stale and sterile bitterness,' Bishop Daly urged young people to take Jesus's

entreaty to "love your enemies and pray for

those who persecute

you" as the model for the

new Ireland. Cries of objection would come from some people in both Trish communities saying "But first we must have justice." The Christian reply is that love and justice cannot be separated from one another," said Bishop Daly.

"Love is not genuine unless it respects the

person of the other and grants his rights. "Justice is not true unless it is concerned about the rights of others as much as it is about one's own rights, and unless it is ready to do to the other what one expects the other to do to oneself. "Love and justice, he said, were brought together by Jesus in what's rightly called his 'golden rule': "Always treat others as you would like them to treat you."

Cardinal's Israel visit

NEW YORK: Cardinal O'Connor has accepted the Israeli Prime Minister's, Shimon Peres, invitation to visit the country. The Jewish community in the city has urged such a visit since the cardinal's visit to Lebanon last year. He had called for the establishment of a Palestinian homeland.

LONDON: Cardinal Hume found himself the centre attention when he visited Cadogan Street south London to bless newly renovated Church almshouses. No sooner had he given his blessing than the pupils of St Joseph's primary school next door surged forward to greet him. The almshouses, which were built i nthe nineteenth century, are occupied by elderly people. They are some of very few owned by the Church in Britain.

DUBLIN: the controversial guideline issued to Irish Catholic primary schools to appoint only practising Catholics as teachers will not be withdrawn under any circumstances, according to the chairman of the Catholic Primary School Managers Association, Mr Oliver Ryan. All teachers in Catholic primary schools are contractually obliged to teach religion as well as other subjects on the curriculum. The issue of appointing practising Catholic teachers is "part and parcel of the fabric of the Catholic school," Mr Ryan said. A specific guideline was issued in spring, 1985, but Father John Walsh, general secretary of the (CPSMA), pointed out that the practice had existed since the Primary School Management Board was set up just after Catholic Emancipation, 150 years ago. "One of the basic objectives of primary schools is to give these children a Catholic formation and education," he said. "ff we are to attend to that end, we must look to the teacher who is an important person from the beginning of Catholic formation.

Protesters over food mountains

LONDON: Hundreds of people, including mothers with young children, took part in a silent march of protest from St John's Cathedral in Salford to a warehouse storing part of the EEC food mountain. They were protestrng against the EEC's Common Agriculture Policy, which guarantees high prices to Europe's farmers even if they produce huge surpluses. The EEC either stores this surplus or sells it at subsidised prices, depressing world food prices by an estimated 16 per cent. Third world farmers are ruined by the unfair competition while millions are starving in the famine areas of the world. The marchers walked the half mile along Oldfield Road to the locked gates of the Tempco Union Cold Store in Ordsall Lane. Some carried banners proclaiming such messages as: "You pay $20 a week for food you don't eat." A woman in a wheelchair handed out leaflets.

□□□

At the factory, the marchers lined up and stood in silence for a few moments, then turned to face the food mountain while they recited the Lord's Prayer. Joining in the march organised by the Salford diocesan office for Overseas Mission, were Anglicans and Free Church members, among them Rev John Methuen, Rector of Hulme and Anglican chaplain at Manchester's Loreto sixth form college. Two local Labour MPs, Mr Stan Orme (Salford East) and Mr Tony Lloyd (Stretford) also attended. One of the organisers, Chris Williams, told the marchers: "By walking today you have shown solidarity with the poor and starving of the world."" Protester Anne-Mane Coppock, a Cafod member from Burnley, who visited Peru last year with a group from the Salford diocese, said: "At the time the aid organisations were diverting food from South America to send to Ethiopia, instead of taking it from the food mountain." "A Peruvian priest told me, You are robbing the hungry to feed the starving.' "

Eastern rite in France

LONDON: This month's Church of England's general synod will give its final verdict on the final report of the first Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC I), which recorded substantial agreement on the three key areas of the eucharist, ministry and ordination, and (with reservations) authority. In February 1985 the synod recognised that the agreed statements on the eucharist and the ministry and ordination were "consonant in substance with the faith of the Church of England".

On authority the synod recognised that the final report recorded "sufficient convergence'' for the two Communions to explore further the structures of authority and the exercise of and collegiality in the primacy Church. Toe motions before this month's synod, will be the same as those provisionally approved in February 1985. They have since been endorsed by the Church of England's 44 dioceses, except that the motion on was authority defeated in three diocesan synods Birmingham, Bradford and Durham. If these motions are given final approval by the synod, they will become the Church of England's official response to ARCIC I and as such be forwarded to the Anglican Consultative Council and to the 1988 Lambeth Conference, which will present the official response of the Anglican

In cr1SIS

BUJUMBURA (Burundi): Crisis point fsflo\Deen]fechet1f Church-State relations in Burundi after a series of punitive measures by the government against church institutions. In the past few weeks seminaries have been nationalised, religious education suppressed and the Church forbidden to run Catholic action groups The head of state, Colonel Jean-Baptiste Bagaza, has threatened to take further action "if the church authorities do not change their attitudes". The government has accused the Church of discrediting it "inside and outside the country". It is particularly opposed to the Church's involvement in education. "It is the State's business to train and look after youth and adults," authorities have declared. The Church was abusing the "privileges inherited from colonial times," they said. In a recent pastoral letter,

Burundi's seven bishops called these accusations "unjust and unacceptable", and said the nationalisation of seminaries deprived the Church of an important source of funds Church-State relations have been bad ever since Colonel Bagaza, himself a Catholic, came to power in 1976.

Celebration Sisters

Frenchwoman Euphrasie Barbier, set a ball rolling 125 years ago, which has gained momentum and is being rolled over onwards by her Sisters. Born in 1829, Euphrasie Barbier was determined to be a missionary Sister and in 1861 founded the Congregation of Our Lady of the Missions at Lyons in France. It was one of the first missionary Orders for women. This was a semicloistered Order but she did not feel it was inconsistent with work missionary "because mission is not determined by geographical boundaries. It is addressed to men and women in search of God," she stated.

The Order today works in Peru, Canada, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Italy (their Generalate House), Senegal, Kenya, India, Burma, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Samoa, New Zealand, Papua-New Guinea and Australia. There are now 1100 Religious within 134 communities, grouped into nine provinces. As a result of Vatican 11 however, the Order took a close look at its direction and decided to re-align it more with the missionary focus its Foundress so zealously desired. Thus the grilles were

From that isolated hamlet Karol Wojtyla enrolled again as a theology student at the Cracow university. He presented the thesis he had written on St John of the Cross in Rome and was awarded a Polish doctorate in 1949. His mentor and admirer, Cardinal Sapieha, transferred him to St Florian's parish in Cracow and according to one writer he arrived there "on a ricketty old peasant cart, his only luggage being a small case and a few books." This was a busy, inner suburban parish and its members were a comparatively sophisticated lot who were not quite ready for a curate who cared little for appearances. It is recorded his cassock was not only shabby but decorated with holes and patches he sewed on himself. Against his will, a new one was arranged for him but only after he was tricked into going to a tailor to be measured But by 1950 there were issues much more important than an unworldly cleric's frayed garb. The grip of Russian-dominated communist rule had tightened: criticism of the clergy had been stepped up and two Catholic weekly publications closed down. Cardinal Sapieha struck back. He and two archbishops wrote a letter accusing the government of evil motives against the Church

Karol Wojtyla had his morning shave while on a mountain hike in Biesrczady.

The cardinal went to Rome to plead for a cause dear to his heart - having bishops appointed to the Oder-Neisse region but Pope Pius XII refused, saying the teritory did not legally belong to Poland. That decision did little to boost morale of the Church in Poland or strengthen its hand against those committed to destory it.

Cardinal Sapicha died soon after. Such was his standing huge crowds turned out for his funeral ... so many, it is said, the Secret Police backed off, realising the situation was bigger than they were. Among the pallbearers who carried the body of the princely patriot was Father Wojtyla It was at this time that his preaching had him in great demand and he used to be involved in those cross-city runs. Perhaps wisely the new Archbishop of Cracow moved the crowd-pleaser from St Florian's to a parish on the other side of the city. But his attachment to St Catherine's was only formal: he was sent back to university to qualify as a lecturer.

He was being singled out for higher things and as if Fate was serving him from the activities of yesterday, the Rhapsodic Theatre, that nationalistic forum of expression he had helped create a decade earlier, was closed down in 1952 by the Warsaw regime. He was now deeply involved with philosophy. The dehumanising, anti-God forces were in control and men who opposed them - as they had opposed the totalitarian sway of the Nazis of such recent memory - were compelled to find the answers. Young Karol Wojtyla looked for those answers. The scholarly concepts he wrestled with are too complex to

1950s he could not risk being seen to concede any rights to the communists. Sadly, the division encouraged the regime in Warsaw and it banned all Catholic organisations, cut the newsprint supply to genuine Church publications and in the next few years closed 59 seminaries and jailed eight bishops and 900 priests. In September there was one of the "show-trials" common in the Soviets since the 1930's. A Bishop Kazmarek, after 32 months in prison without a hearing, accused himself of crimes against the state. He also named the late Cardinal Sapieha as a traitor Bishop Kazmarek was jailed for 12 years - a sentence that prompted the then Cardinal Wyszynski to protest. He was relieved of his duties and put under house arrest. They were black days and father Wojtyla took a tack different from the profound philosophy he had been pursuing. He wrote poetry under a penname, that of the hero of popular Polish novel dating before World War ll.

It all began with workers at a Poznan factory demanding "bread and freedom"; two months later one a half million converged on a hilltop in Cracow, shouting for an end to tyranny and the release of Cardinal Wyszynski. On the hilltop was the monastery of Czestochowa. Back in 1655, its conquest by Swedish troops seemed inevitable but Polish King John Casimir, in a last stand with troops and people, prayed to the Virgin Mary to save the monastery, its famous icon of the Black Virgin and Poland itself. The Swedes withdrew and the next year the king dedicated Poland to Mary. In 1956, the massive crowd that turned out for the 300th anniversary of that military miracle pressed for the release of their cardinal.

Highlight of the most blatant demonstration in principle against the Kremlin since the revolution of I 9 I 7 was the carrying of Wyszynski's empty chair

- decorated with roses in red and white, Poland's colours -- through the streets. The protestors made another demand: if they were to have a socialist state they wanted their own head of state. That was Wladislaw Gomulka He had been leader of the People's Army which had introduced communism and had been vice-premier but he had been jailed by the Russians. He had just been freed from jail. The people wanted him and they wanted their cardinal as free as Gomulka. Both wishes were fulfilled because Krushchev and his military advisers realised the Poles would not be satisfied unless they had their way. Gomulka and Cardinal Wyszynski worked out a truce, a shaky and short-lived one between state and Church, but it had a highlight that meant nothing at the time. That was the elevation of a clever, athletic and artistic man of 38 to the position of bishop. His name was Karol Wojtyla.

ODO But things were to change and only those versed in the ways of the Polish under pressure could have forseen what might happen In 1956, Soviet leader Krushchev rashly criticised his late predecessor, Stalin. And the Poles soon after demonstrated on the streets. They noted the split and exploited it

THE MAN TO FIT IN THE FISHERMAN'S SHOES .

Being named a bishop is a serious business, but when Father Wojtyla's big day came there were some lighter moments. He was on a holiday, canoeing with students, when Cardinal Wyszynski's messenger tracked him down to the lakes in the Mazuria district.

until he finished his holiday. The answer was yes, so he wentbacktothelakesforthree more days. As bishop, he was auxiliary to the Apostolic Administrator of Cracow. A lesser man might have put on airs but not Wojtyla. In fact, he insisted on staying in his little flat and resisted pressure from his staff to move to the episcopal place. He was virtually evicted, like a modern-day squatter. On returning one day he found the place stripped except for a pair of skis. Taking the hint and the skis he set off for the palace where he had hidden from the Nazis almost 20 years before. Even then he remained stubbornly his own man. He mingled widely and held social occasions at which even Marxists were guests. Some of

instruction...

these functions developed into sing-a longs at which Polish folk music got a good airing. And whenever he could spare the time he headed off to the Tatras mountains for climbing and skiing, and relief from what must have been cloying clerical chores. One of many anecdotes about the period underlines how he had kept his down-to-earth manner. Once, dressed in his baggy mountaineering gear he was sharing bread and sausage with one of the hill men, who asked him what he did for a living. 'Tm a bishop," he replied. 'That's good," the other said with a laugh. "If you're a bishop then I'm the pope." It is said the apline enthusiast who was to become pope did not pursue the topic.

Amid his many activities (including further studies and furthering his reputation as a spellbinding preacher) the youngest bishop in Poland pursued profound thoughts about mankind and his relationship with the state and with other people. This line of thought had been made necessary by the end of the Church honeymoon with the Gomulka regime. Once again the whip was being wielded over the individual who had little freedom and could move only with the nod from authority. Bishop Wojtyla wrote a book called Love and Responsibility. It argued that despite repression from outside a man and woman could devise a world of liberty within four walls.

His defence of the family at a time when Poland's population was falling included an argument against birth control. The book sold out in its first edition in 1960 and again when reprinted two years later. In what was termed the Free World there was vigorous debate about the reforms of the Vatican Council. Inside Poland, a renewal that predated the international one was in full swing.

Continuing the story of the life and the achievements of Pope John Paul

II from PAT CONNELLY who was commissioned by The Advocate in Melbourne to write about his life

It had begun with the imprisoned Cardinal Wyszynski in 1956, the year of the massive rally that had sent Khruschev scurrying to Warsaw and failing to prevent a reflowering of nationalism and religion The cardinal announced a 10-year build-up to the 1000th anniversary of the Polish Church. Each year a theme to deepen devotion was carried out and the highlight in 1966 was to be rededication of the nation to the Virgin Mary. The government cracked down hard even drafting priests into the army, but the Polish faith is a tou plant. Such was its invisible power that the state coul not overcome the diplomatic sway of Pope John XIll to have visas granted to Cardinal Wyszynski and Io of his bishops to attend the Vatican Council deliberations of 1962. Among the bishops was one Wojtyla. It is interesting in view of today's condemnatio of the pope as a "conservative" to note that he playe a large part in framing the reforms that changed th face of the Church. Lord Longford of England, in his authorise" biography of the Pontiff, says the occasion in Rome broadened the horizons of the 42-year-old. The peer says he was totally committed to the aim of the council. He addressed his colleague bishops at least three times on major topics: on the liturgy, the source revelation and what he saw as the need for the Church as a whole to take precedence over the hierarchy.

"By the end of the council in 1965 he had already exerted a considerable influence," Lord Longford says. He explains why a young auxiliary bishop who had no further promotion until be became Archbishop of Cracow in 1964 had so much say. "Someone very close to Wojtyla at that time has told me that he, Wojtyla, was 'discovered' by Pope Paul VI," the peer writes. "He was given his chance to influence the whole history of the Church and he grasped it with both hands."

0 Despite his elevation to archbishop the man whose motto was Totus tuus (all yours) remained uncomplicated in his dealings with people. His staff joined him for breakfast and as the day grew older "the constant stream of visitors which Included doctors, workers, artists, priests and nuns

Increased uncontrollably.

There are dozens of stories of his ordinariness. One Concerns an old schoolfriend who addressed him as Your Eminence" and was brought short with the Words: "Jurek, have you lost your senses?" Another tale is about a skiing trip near the Czech order after he had won a red hat in 1967 and was 'gged up like any other man. A soldier pulled him up for a routine check and hen the roughly dressed middle-aged man produced cardinal's card he was told: "Do you realise, you moron, whose personal papers you have stolen? This ick will put you inside for a long time."

When the accused tried to explain that he was truly the Church head in Cracow the man with the gun protested "A skiing cardinal! Do you think I'm

crazy?"

It is said that the militiaman apologised when he realised his error. Those light-hearted anecdotes, however, cannot detract from the seriousness with which he regarded his high position. On hearing that he had been created a cardinal he rushed to Warsaw to tell Cardinal Wyszynski. He regarded the older man as a father-figure and there is a delightful photograph from that period that underlines that point. The vigorous Wojtyla, with the world ahead of him, is shown supporting his ageing mentor who is beaming despite ill health and the decades of trials he had suffered. Two steps behind and to the side of them is a suspicious man in a suit, possibly a state apparatchik, seemingly ready to reach for a gun. If 1967 was a year of personal triumph, the preceding one had been a year of sadness. The great l 000 years celebration of Christianity in Poland had been undermined by the Church itself. In an amazing diplomatic gaffe the bishops wrote an open letter to their German counterparts forgiving that country for what it had done in the past and also asking forgiveness for Poland. The move, inspired by the at-times naive reformist spirit of the Vatican Council, infuriated the populace and the government. They remembered not only the Nazi atrocities of recent memory but also the fact that the Church had

been founded 1000 years before partly as a political ploy to keep the hungry young German Empire at bay. One upshot of the 1966 bungle was Archbishop Wojtyla trying to pacify the people of Cracow (in whose borders the Auschwitz gas chambers had operated). The communist state held all the aces. It accused the Church of meddling in public affairs, made the Moscow masters look good by pointing out the bishops were courting the ancient enemy and then played the trump card: Pope Paul VI would not get a visa to visit Poland for the millennium celebrations. But destiny had its way as far as Archbishop Wojtyla was concerned: the following year he was made a cardinal. The next year put great pressures on him. Young Polish people rose up demanding the brief freedoms gained by their fellows in Czechoslovakia. The state cracked down as hard as ever and Cardinal Wojtyla went to bat for left-wing intellectuals who argued not only against communist oppression but against the Church. Many Jews were among the protestors and as had happened over the centuries in Poland a pogrom went into action. Wojtyla swung his fellow clerics against it. Into the 1970s the young prince of the Church began travelling far from Europe. The year 1973 brought him to Australia, New Guinea and the Philippines; in 1976 he attended the Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia. In that later year Polish workers rose in protest against imposts on food prices and in 1977, 20 years after it had been promised, a magnificent new church was consecrated at the industrial city of Nowa Huta The cracks were widening between Church and state and in the following year there was to be a momentous event that rocked the world, particularly the rulers of Poland: a Polish cardinal was elected pope.

Some 500 people attended the Peace Mass organised by the Catholic Social Justice Commission in the grounds of Santa Maria College to mark the International Year of Peace.

Members of the Catholic Aboriginal Council and of the Catholic youth movements joined family groups and students. The Catholic Youth Council was concluding its youth program for peace and CYC members donned clown costumes to distribute peace doves to the congregation during the Mass and entertain the children with play activities and face painting The congregation was encircled by peace ribbons; trees were hung with paper doves. "The central message of hope and faith was repeated in Father Paul Pitzen's homily, as he spoke of the Prince of Peace, and in the peace message released at the end of the mass by two young Aboriginal girls," said Christine Choo, chairperson of the CSJC. "Jesus Christ, Light of the World, Prince of Peace' floated away on balloons over the city." An evening Peace Concert presented singersongwriter Peter Kearney for the first time in WA. He said he was excited to have had the opportunity to visit Perth from his base in NSW and the large audience responded enthusiastically to the suggestion that he might return next year to share more of his "Songs of Hope." Local musicians also shared their talent and visions of a world of peace and justice. Tapes and records of Peter Kearney's music are available from the Catholic Social Justice Commission

Progress for group Ron and Mavis Pirola the founders of the Australian Antioch youth movement are visiting Perth this week and will meet with adults and young people to discuss the state of the movement and share the latest ideas and trends. Ron and Mavis Pirola are Australia's delegates to the Pontifical Council for the family and have recently returned from a meeting in Rome. Adults from eight of the 20 parish groups with Antioch groups attended a special training weekend at Eagle's Nest, Gidgegannup recently.

l would dearly love to personally meet John Paul II on Sunday November 30 -- shake his hand, receive a blessing and exchange a greeting. Wouldn't we all. At the Belmont Mass, I certainly will receive the pope's blessing. l will hear him speak but exchanging a few words personally will not be a physical possibility. I am excited about the pope's arrival because he is the head of the Catholic church and guardian of my faith. Two thousand years ago Jesus handed the keys of the kingdom to Peter. Peter was told that whatever he bound on earth would be considered bound in heaven.

we went the only way possible hitchhiking.

John Paul Il is the successor of Saint Peter. Added to all that my faith tells me l gladly share a Polish heritage, culture and language with the pope. I think that some of my excitement of the Pontiff's visit stems from a childhood hitch-hiking experience with my father.

My father occasionally talked about his faith - but that day he did it in action by taking me to see an archbishop - (l've been visiting bishops ever since!) hope parents encourage young people to attend the Papal Mass by enthusiastically a t t e n ding themselves.

We lived in Harvey at the time. The 90 miles to Perth is a long way without a car or available public transport. My father heard that Polish Archbishop Joseph Gawlina was visiting ex-patriate Poles and celebrating Mass at St Brigid's, West Perth. Mother packed a lunch for us and off

"Christmas is a time for the gathering together of families; for the reuniting of old friends; for the giving of gifts to those we love; and, above all, for celebrating the birthday of the Holy Child. It is a time for recalling old traditions, and for the creating of new ones making joyful memories to shine down the ensuing years like lighted candles in the heart.

There are two Christmases, of course -- the secular one, with all the happy activities of the Yuletide season; and the religious one, a time of rejoicing anew each year in the timeless and eternal miracle of the birth of
