PALM BEACH (Florida US): Addressing a meeting of seminary directors, coadjutor Archbishop Murphy of Seattle, highlighted a growing need for priests to wort< effectively with lay ministers and to reconcile ensions in parishes. "There has to be a convergence," he said, "between the changing demands made of priests and the seminary training they receive."

Arch 'shop Murphy, a former semi ary rector in Chicago and long a di g figure on issues of priestly formation and priestty life and mi istry, a d acknowledged tensions and problems in US sem · ares today but described them as "challe ges" that face ot only the seminar s but the Church at large.

Question of celibacy ... Knowing that I had been married, the question of celibacy came up as a strong interest. They wanted to know what lay behind celibacy for priests. I explained to them that celibacy first of all is a discipline of the Church, designed so the priest may have a universal love, rather than just an individual one. And in the light of many things being said about celibacy in Perth at the moment, I was amazed at the very positive acceptance that was given by my listeners to this concept of celibacy. There may have been many in the room who did not agree with it but I can say too that nobody knocked it.

FOCUS ON THE BIBLE

Will we have bodies in the afterlife? What kind? Questions, questions, questions, St Paul had to field them all. As Christianity's first theologian, Paul didn't really have a great deal to go on, materially speaking - not even the New Testament. His resource was his experience of the risen Christ and its implications. Of course, he supplemented this with information

about

Jesus gained from members of the first

By Father John Castelot Christian communities and their experience of the risen Lord. But all of this taken together did not suffice to answer the endless questions the Christians early raised. Paul had to use his head; he had to be a theologian, one who puts reason to work in the service of truth. Twelve hundred years

later, St Anselm was to define theology as "faith searching for understanding". That was the enterprise on which Paul embarked - or was launched. He "-'"3.S not what '\\-"'C

would call a professional theologian, someone wit h the genius and time to devote exclusively to study, reflection and writing. Genius

he had to

reason share some important concerns. In today's society, for example, the quest for personal identity is esteemed. To put the mind to work in the doscovery of what one's hie os all about and in the achievement of a profound sense of personal worth tends to be regarded as a good use of time. That thos os a shared area of concern on the part of Christian faoth IS ObVIOUS.

ODO

Also, people in today's society often are encouraged to set their good monds to the task of

establishing personal relationships that are rewarding and futfillong. This is something people today will even spend a great deal of money to achieve through counselling. If not for everyone, this concern nonetheless represents for many a true value. And it is a shared concern of a faith whose God is a God of the convenant. the God of a loving, falthful relationship wrth people. Agaon, to employ the human mond on the wori< of preseMng and fostering the beauty of the created world, to use the powers of human reason to evaluate or to reconstruct your lifestyle so that it becomes more

satisfying and more suited to your finest objectives; or to reflect on the underty,ng values of life related to birth and death in the face of modern medical technology: All these a re frequently regarded as most worthwhile enterprises. All are areas of shared concern with faith. Sometimes people fear that the concerns offaith will detract from the mind's serious wor1< get in the way somehow. Or it is feared that a preoccupation with the concerns of the wor1d and of the mind will distract people from faith. But today, there is interest in exploring the ways faith and the wor1<s of the human mond enhance one another. How do they coalesce 1 How do they relate on a positive way - and in the midst of your most important concerns. It is worth thinking about. For as can be seen, the question of the relationship of faith and human reason - which at first glance might seem a questJon for theologians only - actually relates directly to your life and your interests. To discover why this is true rs part of the discovery of what faith is all about

This was conducive to becoming a pastoral theologian, one who tries to explain and guide actual human experience in the light of faith. Paul would have been the last one in the world to see a conflict

between faith an, reason. True, some passag in his letters migb give the fleetillj impression that W3!> anti-intellectual He said, for examph that "Christ did no send me to baptise b� to preach the Gosptj and not with the wi, dom of human elo quence ... The foolish ness of God is wise than human wisdom and the weakness o God is stronger thru human strength" ( Corinthians 1,17, 25, But Paul's point is Iha faith does not rest o,

• Do you have a tendency to regard faith as a barrier to the serious work of the human mond7 • Why rs it said that faith and the povvers of human reason can enhance each other?

The Record, April 7, 1988

This does not mean faith is irrational. Quite the contrary. It is theology's task, as it was Paul's task, to demonstrate that faith is reasonable. Many of the ques-

tions

Paul

encoun-

tered are quite irrelevant today, like -..nether to eat food rhat was used in pagan sacrifices. But the underlying principles have a certain timelessness.

DOD

Take the questions asked earlier about the resurrection of the body. They were raised by people in the Greek city of Corinth. They believed in resurrection, but thought of it in terms of the soul, not the body. Death was thought to be an escape from the "prison" of the body. But Paul reasoned that belief in Jesus' total resurrection necessitated belief in our total resurrection, not simply in the immortality of our souls.

Sarah's parents consider her a pretty good kid. or course, she does the usual amount of bickering with her younger sisters. But when needed she also can be counted on to help out around the house by watching the family's young· est member, a 6· year-old. It is fun for Sar· a h's parents to visit her. They even enjoy the friends she has chosen. They wish she would get a little more excited about the parish's youth ministry program. But they are happy that it is an accepted part of her schedule - and they know through the grapevine that she enjoys it more than she admits to them.

ODD The fart that Sarah i., relatively well-organised about school work is a relief to her parents. If there is one thing that concerns them it is Sarah's tendenrv to spread herself too thin at school and in her sports and leisure activities. Sarah could keep herself - and her parents - on the run all the time. It would be fair to say that Sarah's parents have confidence in her. Still. they find that they must at times intervene with a dash of the parental advice that they undoubtedly value much more highly than she does. They trust her. but also feel they must guide her. You could sav that Sarah's parents have faith in her. To nurture her, however. there are times when they must apply that faith together with the best knowledge and insight they JlO"SCSS-

teaching is competent and where the teacher believes in them. • Finally, as families and doctors make the difficult decisions required in the world of modem medical technology, they find they must put their best powers of reason to work, all the while

maintaining

respect for the patient's God-given dignity.

DOD Sometimes it is assumed that faith whether religious faith or faith of some other sort - can combine only in the most awkward way with the powers of human reason. When people talk about these things they may point to others they have kn0\\.'11 who were so "rational" that there was no room in their lives for faith. Or thev may recall acq ua in tances w ho were so 'faith-filled" that to them human knowledge and skill were considered of little import. The tendency to make polar opposite. of faith and the powers of reason is present when people suggest that the human mind performs best in some sort of "isolation", Or maybe people just have the feeling that in an age of rapidly unfolding scientific discovery it isn't sophisticated to believe in anything that human intelligence hasn't verified.

ODD

To be fair, however. it isn't really that unusual for some scientists to allow their faith to cast light on their work. And this may be explicitly religious faith. They are pushed along by a desire to discover the meaning behind the world in which their work is conducted. Or. finding themselves in the position to make dee isions that will influence the lives of manv other people. these scientists hope that faith 's light will help them "see" a little Knowledge and faith of more dearly. some kind are frequent To see clearlv - to gain companions m the ordi- insight into · the world narv course of dailv life. and the most fulfilling The nurturing of �hild- ways to live in it - is ren is only one obvious everyone's goal.

In my heart has grown a flower which helps to brighten every hour A flower of joy a gift of hope for which I never have to grope. It's in my heart and in my soul It makes my scattered feelings whole It was not chance but providence which found for me the confidence to join a small and Christian lot who returned to me what I forgot who brought me clo e to God again and gav m new found love for men. They caused my heart to overflow They help d to make that flow r grow and in a world where fear is rife and hatred scars me like a nife they s ak with words which never mock a sacred group called Antioch. by Cameron Burg s , WH/etton
