Bold plan for refugees Barry Bishop Hickey of Geraldton has presented to the Federal Minister for Immigration, Mr Gerry Hand a bold plan to help relieve the pressure of the overcrowded Hong Kong refugee camp.
He has offered to settle 100 refugee families on farming property near Geraldton in a joint scheme sponsored by both the Church and Government. The Church would seek to purchase the property and oversee the project if the Government would assist with transport costs and accommodation. The refugee families would operate the farm under a farm manager, and use suitable areas for market gardening. To avoid competition with local markets, sales of produce would be arranged through agents for overseas markets. After the meeting Bishop Hickey said
Scanning the horizon to dream dreams this week was Dr Peter Tannock, seen here on the Alkimos coastline near which it is hoped the University of Notre Dame will have its main campus.
that the Minister expressed interest in the scheme without making any firm commitment to it. He asked for further information concerning economic aspects of the scheme and on ways of ensuring that families stayed in the country for at least two to three years after arrival. "We presented the proposal as a way in which the Australian Government could give the lead to other countries in responding to the appalling conditions in the Hong Kong camp," said Bishop Hickey. "We also presented it as a way of increasing population in rural areas," he said. "It was sad to see the drift from the country to the cities. "It is pleasing to hear recent comments by the Premier of Western Australia pointing to the benefits migrants have brought to the state."
Be ond the horizon During the two-and-ahalf-year negotiation with the State Government for a Notre Dame University site at Alkimos "the government put us to the test", NDA governor and Catholic Education Commission chairman Dr Peter Tannock said this week. "They wanted to know if we were fair dinkum, if we could do it, were there real tangible benefits for WA, was it an
absolutely altruistic operation, and did it have the promise of being a genuine university," Dr Tannock said after a quick inspection on Tuesday of the proposed site area.
He said the government had taken a "courageous decision for the future and one that should be recognised for what it is". When the Alkimos operation got under way
in seven to 10 years' time, he said, WA would receive a lot of benefits — to its higher education, to its northern corridor development and to its economy.

Many parallels can be drawn
Endowing NDA with 100ha of land in addition to its 50ha campus site at Alkimos has many other parallels, Dr Tannock said this week. The University of WA started with a large land Lake endowment; Karrinyup Golf Club and Hale School and even the Education Catholic Office were other examples of land endowments that have helped build up the institutions. The 100ha endowment would probably be leased in order to provide ongoing funds for the university, in the tradition of other great centres
such as Stanford, he said. 'The land is too precious to lose but on the other hand it needs to be used." He said that the intention of the university to raise some $15 million in public contributions over the next three years was an important aspect of the government's confidence in what the university was doing. In one sense, Dr Tannock said, the endowment is not unlike government grants to other projects where the Catholic Church is involved, be they schools, hospitals, welfare or aged
homes. "On the other hand this is a one-off allocation in which the government says: 'We think it is important to help you get started', but no more." To criticisms that the Catholic Church was associated with NDA, Dr Tannock said: "The Catholic Church is a highly respected institution in our society and has been around for a long time with a large number of Australian adherents. It has performed great service to our society at all levels and this is part of the service."
'Distortion' c aim •
SENATOR TATE'S NEW STATEMENT IN ROW
Senator Michael Tate, Minister for Justice, and a Catholic, has joined the wrangle between Prime Minister Hawke and Brisbane's Anglican Archbishop but claims now that the ABC has "peddled distortions" of what he said about church leaders, their and residences lifestyles.
The row has its origins in remarks by Senator Tate last week to the Anglican Social Responsibilities Commission. The relevant passage, Senator Tate says, of his address to Anglicans, reads: -If you are in the political area, you must have absolute concurrence between what you practise and what you preach. If the Salvos have credibility in the community, it is because of the absolute concurrence which is perceived between what they say and what they do.
In a statement on Monday to "bishops and other leaders of Christian churches in Australia" Senator Tate claims that an ABC press release caused the phrase "living in mansions" to "fall from his lips".
"You must not give politicians the opportunity to say: 'Look what they are saying, and then look at what they are doing.'
Obviously embarrassed, the senator says that his further phrase about houses "which have been bestowed on them" was edited out of the Medianet ABC press release.
"Australians have a good nose for hyprocrisy and will not readily accept edicts from 'on high' — secular or sacred — particularly when they realise there is a great disparity between the pro-
fessed concerns and the actual lifestyle of those in authority."
Peter Hollingworth's comment on interest rates, Senator Tate said:
Senator Tate's transcript of the interview reads:
Senator Tate said the ABC made a "desperate attempt to get something controversial out of my address" and that in a radio Kronos interview he did not "take the bait" offered him by interviewer Alan Austin.
"The Prime Minister's response was aggressive in that the Archbishop had laid himself open to the charge that he was trespassing on the political field without doing his homework, without putting the story right."
Austin: Senator Tate in your recent address to the Anglican Church's Social Responsibilities Commission you said "Australians have a good nose for hypocrisy and will not readily accept edicts from on high, secular or sacred. Particularly when they realise there is a great disparity between the professed concerns and the actual lifestyle of those in authority". You then commended the Salvos, specifically for their obvious consistency but not the Anglicans to whom the address was directed.Itake it that you believe that there is an inconsistency between statements from on high by Anglican Archbishops and the lifestyle that they their from display mansions. Mate: Well, it would be wrong to generalise, and I wouldn't want to do that. I think it would be probably
ABC's press summary of the interview quoted Senator Tate: "If the Church is going to get involved in political commentary, and it ought to, then it must be accurate in its economic commentary. Too often in the recent past there have been occasions where the Church leadership has spoken out in a way which allows for too easy a debating start to be made."
On the specific question of the Prime Minister's anger at Brisbane's Anglican Archbishop
Senator Tate, a Roman Catholic layman and an Oxford graduate in Theology, criticised his own Church's perceived hypocrisy in lecturing the government and the community on economic matters while its bishops lived in mansions. "There is a danger that the style of life of its chief ministers and the homes in which they reside do put them in a suburb, let alone a lifestyle, which is not adjacent to those to whom the gospel was primarily directed," he said.
defamatory as much as anything. My own Church, and I'm a Roman Catholic, and other more established mainstream churches, there is a danger that the style of life of its chief ordained ministers and the homes in which they reside which have been bestowed on them, do put them in a suburb, let alone in a lifestyle, which is not amongst those to whom the gospel was primarily directed. AndIthink that is a disparity which people do note.
Senator Tate's message to church leaders this week concludes: "Ivery much regret the undue furore that has erupted following a very simple observation. May I assure you that the thesis that this is part of a concerted attack by me as a minister on the church's leadership is utterly without foundation."

Knights to manage Nazareth House The Knights of the Southern Cross are to take over the management of Nazareth House from March 1 and this will double the number of hostel beds now in their care. KSC chairman of Southern Cross Homes, Thomas Perrott told a meeting of residents that the Poor Sisters of Nazareth who had operated the home for more than 30 years would be welcome to stay on as long as they wished. The superior Sister said that shortage of sisters had caused the order to give up the home's administration. Southern Cross Homes offered management advice earlier in the year and in July the Mother General visited Hilton and made the offer to the Knights to take over. In addition to the 40 beds at Villa Pelletier in Leedeiville and the 43 beds in Joseph Cooke Hostel in Rossmoyne, the
Southern Cross Homes will now be administering 61 beds in St Basil's and 25 beds in the Larmenier hostels at Hilton. The 40 bed nursing home at Hilton is now added to the KSC's 70 bed hospital at Mount St Camillus and 50 beds at Two Pines in Maylands. Mr Perrott said that Australia wide, Southern Cross Homes now catered for 4500 people with a staff of 1500 and an annual budget of $25 million. The idea of Southern Cross Homes started with the units near the Redemptorist church and later spread to other states especially South Australia. With the latest additions WA now rivals Victoria and NSW.

Police work linked with gospel Police officers have the greatest opportunity to put gospel values into practice, the police chaplain said last Sunday. Police work deals with many of the people Christ mentioned in the gospel passage read on the Feast of Christ the King, Dean John Orzanski said during Mass at the Police Academy. "Most other people are clinically isolated from these influences because they pigeonhole people into categories and remain comfortable in their ivory towers. "Whereas police officers meet these sort of people every day and how you meet them and how you treat them in the line of duty is going to proclaim the Kingdom both to those same people and to the society in which you work." Dean Orzanski was speaking at the annual Mass for the Association of Catholic Police Officers, formerly known as the Catholic Police Guild. "As police officers," Dean Orzanski continued, "you have a public profile and a private life. In both you must be credible. "Hypocrisy, disloyalty, dislocation are poison to the individual, to the organisation, to the community, to the Church and to the goal of proclaiming the Kingdom.

"In today's climate that is an issue that needs to be addressed." Dean Orzanski told his congregation of both active and retired police officers and their wives that to be truly successful in practising gospel values they had to be people of daily prayer. "Prayer, reflection, quiet time — call it what you like — but it is essential that you are persons of prayer, that you pray not for yourselves, but also for your colleagues, for those you contact in the line of duty, for those outcasts of society and so many other people condemned and pigeon-holed by the community." Dean Orzanski said that if only every police officer prayed daily the Police Prayer (which was recited during the Mass) "we would have a different police force, and a different community, which is so slow to change to that movement of the Spirit". He urged them to daily examine their consciences both in the light of gospel values and of the police code of ethics. "The Feast of Christ the King," he said, "reminds us of the capacity we have for good, about the power that the Lord gives us to transmit that good into society."

The Record, November 29, 1990 3
Record For two years now Notre Dame Australia University has picked its way cautiously over the sometimes bumpy road of finding out who might be its friends. This week it has discovered with a jolt who are its enemies. Leading the pack would appear to be The West Australian newspaper keeping faith no doubt with its founder Sir Winthrop Hackett who used the paper for his implacable opposition to Catholic education. A Monday diagram of a government map of the Alkimos Block (of 850ha) was captioned "The land granted to the new university" whereas it was stated clearly at the press conference that the university would receive only 150ha — one sixth! Don't hold your breath for a correction. The paper's formal Comment, however, and attributed to writer Robert Reid, went to far more daring lengths under the intimidatory heading "Uni land gift blurs borders". Whatever of Robert Reid's struggles to find fatuous arguments against governments funding anything but its sacred educational cows, the same journalist obviously got his own journalistic standards blurred in a series of reports that have appeared under his name. Of his Monday interview with Dr Tannock not a word has appeared in the paper except a perfunctory one sentence quote on Wednesday. Whereas Deputy Premier Taylor and Education Minister Gallop have been willing to appear repeatedly and creditably on numerous radio and television programmes, The West Australian so far has printed not one word of comment from either of them. The Opposition's views have been ignored, presuming they have been asked. Robert Reid must represent the selective hearing that now assails The West Australian in its monopoly comfort. The paper on the other hand was rather too busy giving full rein to Murdoch Vice Chancellor Peter Boyce w!lo was unrestrainedly into the jugular with his "reminder that the influence of the Roman Catholic Church is a fairly important subtheme in WA Inc". Whatever of his political science, Professor Boyce badly needs basic tuition about printed libel and slander, if not good manners, seeing that the slander was repeated again on Tuesday — as lawyers will note. It is the same Professor Boyce who recently bemoaned the flow of pupils from state to private schools on the grounds of government liberality to parents he obviously considers to be nontaxpayers. The professor has even further difficulty, it seems, with the simple arithmetic which shows that every child in a private school is saving his beloved government treasuries 25% of the cost of a state school education. As to capital land costs that seem to annoy him, P rofessor Boyce could peer out of his government empire at the $750,000 Corpus Christi College has had to pay for its land (to a UWA endowment!). He might even take up Fr Jegorow's offer and risk asking Ballajura parishioners what they think of the $500,000 they were forced to pay for their school property while government schools devour land scot-free. Hot into the fray was Curtin's Vice Chancellor John Maloney, happy to support Peter Boyce's comments and also obviously in need of a bit of tuition about slandering the Catholic Church. The cossetted manicured state universities do indeed blurr the vision from their well protected empires. By way of dinner dessert, Federal Education Minister Dawkins gave vent to his unabashed opposition to anything and everything about Notre Dame, in the pretext of taking the stick to the WA government for its largesse. Since it will be decades before the Alkimos endowment shows a cent of return to its beneficiaries John Dawkins no doubt expects to reside in some taxpayer-superannuated Valhalla from which he will have ensured for centuries to come that Catholic universities never got off the ground. Notre Dame is committed to its mission to be independent and will have to weather its own storms and fight its own battles without defence from the Catholic Church. One day however some Notre Dame historian will trace the virulent arrogance that has assumed that the Australian public education trough was the exclusive right of a section of animal farm. Ironically it will have to single out Robert Menzies and Gough VVhitlam as two who were prepared to tell Australians to stop cutting off their educational noses to spite their bigotted faces.

EDITOR IS SACKED AND ARRESTED
JAKARTA (CNS): A popularity poll controversy that prompted the suspension of the tabloid Monitor has led the weekly's Catholic-run parent company to stop the presses on another of its publications. The controversial poll ranked the Prophet Mohammed nth out of a slate of 50 of the world's most admired people. It sent Muslim crowds
into the streets demanding a shutdown of the publication and the trial of its editor. K ompas-Gramedia group, publisher of the Monitor, voluntarily surrendered its licence to publish Senang (Pleasure), a bi-weekly magazine. Senang editors Budiarto Danudjaja and Evie Fadjari, both Muslims, said in a press release
that the magazine was suspended because it had published a sketch of Mohammed without a head, based on an account by a reader who claimed to have met the prophet in a dream. The sketch was published nearly one month before the Monitor poll was published. The editors of Senang expressed regret. They said publication of

Bishop Imesc.h said that he had been "surprised" by the finding. "Bishops told me: 'I'm out in the middle of a farm community, and the concerns I'm hearing

called for comprehensive government, church and civic programs to address them. Poverty produces the conditions that lead to social ills such as drug addiction, alcoholism and "the phenomenon of criminality and violence wearing the Camorra stamp," the pope said. He criticised govern-
ment officials for failing to alleviate the social and economic problems of the area that feed Camorra's power and told business leaders to "be courageous" in the face of the crime group, which tries to muscle its way into legitimate enterprises.
Public discussion by the bishops of the third draft of the proposed document is expected at the November 1991 national meeting. A vote would probably not come until the following November. "If the vote's not by 1991,I quit," he said.
Bishop Imesch said there was "a good deal of u ncomfortability" among the bishops about issuing a paper exclusively dedicated to women's concerns given the entirely male makeup of the bishops' conference. That feeling exists -despite the fact that we've had input from thousands" of women, he commented.
It's back to violence NAPLES, Italy (CNS): Within 24 hours of Pope John Paul II's departure from Naples, five people were murdered in shootings linked to organised crime. It was back to business as usual after an almost complete truce during the pope's four day visit to Naples and several surrounding cities.
The unofficial truce got off to a shaky starcwith a murder the night the pope arrived, but that was the only slaying blamed on Camorra, Naples' organised crime group, during the pope's stay. Pope John Paul did not overlook the organised crime, corruption and economic ills that plague the city, and he
A few hours after the
pope left Naples by helicopter the killings resumed. In four separate attacks, four men and one woman died.
"Always the same technique, always the same scenario" is used in the gangland murders, one newspaper reported. The bodies of the five victims were riddled with bullets.
First Mass in 23 years TIRANA, Albania: The first public Mass in Albania in 23 years was celebrated in a cemetery chapel this month. The celebrant was Father Simon Jubani, who was imprisoned from 1967 to 1989 for carrying out religious activities. The reforms that swept the communist countries of Eastern Europe in the past year have come more slowly to Albania, which, in an effort to eliminate religion completely, closed all churches and mosques in 1967. It was not until May 1990 that the government lifted a
ban on religious propaganda, which made evangelisation a crime. At a cemetery in Shkodra, the chapel there was the only church structure not destroyed or put to other uses by the government. More than 5000 people, "Christians and Muslims together", attended the liturgy. Before the 1960s crackdown on religion, it was estimated that 13 per cent of Albania's population was Catholic and more than 65 per cent was Muslim.

No to ordaini married men CLEVELAND (CNS): The Canon Law Society of America has rejected a resolution calling for the ordination of married men, reversing a process begun by the society two years ago.
At its annual conference about 400 church lawyers took issue not with the resolution's call for expansion of the
"current permission to ordain qualified married men to the presbyterate," but with the statement of reasons an,, precedents which accompanied the request. "The defeat of the resolution had nothing to do with the disposition of the group toward married priests," Father Gary Gresko said. "The reason it was not
affirmed was because the group did not feel the rationale given was of academic sufficient substance." Two years ago, the canon law society voted to establish a commission to prepare a petition favouring the ordination of married men to the priesthood. If it had been approved, the petition would have been sent to
the National Conference for Catholic Bishops. Those rejecting the resolution argued that the petition would constitute inappropriate political pressure on the bishops and that background material on the issue had not been adequately prepared. Father James Cuneo said the petition would label the canon law
In an essay in L'Osservatore Romano, May, a professor of moral theology at the Catholic University of America linked their argument on moral norms to their position on the right of theologians lo dissent from authorita-
tive but non-infallibly proposed" Church teachings. Many theologians who argue for a theologian's right to dissent also argue that the Church cannot teach infallibly on specific moral norms, he said. "While it is true that no moral norms have been infallibly proposed in solemn definitions," May countered, "there are very good reasons for holding that the core of Catholic moral teaching, as found in the way in which the Church has consist-
ently understood the meaning of the Decalogue . . . has been infallibly proposed by the magisterium." As examples of the Church's consistent understanding of the Decalogue, or Ten Commandments, he cited its positions of "no direct killing of the innocent, no adultery, no non-marital sexual relations, no perjury". "Sound arguments have been made to show that this core of magisterial moral teaching fulfills the conditions set forth in 'Lumen Gentium', No
Priest gets an exception' Washington, (CNS) — A priest who won an election as county circuit judge, will be sworn in with the apparent approval of his bishop. Bishop Untener said Father Michael Callahan

assistant prosecutor. The same exception would still apply, said the bishop. Father Callahan, defeated his Catholic opponent on November
6 by more than 50,000 votes out of some 325,000 cast in the race for a sixyear term. Under Canon law, bishops can grant exemptions from church law forbidding priests from holding public office. "The only question is what are his long-range plans, but that question was on the table regardless of the election," Bishop Untener said. The question of whether Father Callahan "wants

cise of Church teaching authority "is a possibility that advocates of dissent have simply not taken into account". He said that "the dissent defended by some theologians today is irreconcilable with the mission of the theologian in the Church" because when theologians invite Christians to accept their personal views in place of authoritative teachings "they in effect usurp the pastoral office" that belongs to the bishops of the Church.
"Lumen Gentium" is the Latin title of the Vatican Second Council's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church. No 25 in the document spells out levels of Church teaching authority and the adherence are Catholics required to give to such teachings. May said that such infallible teaching of specific moral norms by the ordinary exer-

MILAN, Italy (CNS): Italy's priests are becoming more popular, according to a recent poll. Compared with other professional Italian groups, priests were seen as more trusted and better liked than judges, and journalists politicians. They finished a little behind police officers and teachers. The poll found that 58 per cent of Italians — Catholics and non-
Catholics — said they had a positive impression of priests. That was an increase of five per cent from a poll in 1985. Most of those questioned said they respected priests for their ability to understand the needs and problems of the people. Others gave priests high marks for their attitude of love and charity, their willingness to help the poor, their spirit of selfsacrifice and their spirituality.
Pope on 'grave duty' VATICAN CITY (CNS): Pope John Paul ll told bishops from the Philippines that they have a "grave duty" to proclaim the church's teaching about birth control. The pope apparently was lending support to the bishops' rejection of a government population control program. The church, the pope said wants to make sure that couples make free, responsible decisions about family planning — whether they live in areas of expanding or shrinking populations. "On a pastoral level, it is important that your teaching in this delicate area be clearly and adequately communicated," he said.

Theologian's challenge ROME: American theologian William E. May has chatlenged the view of some theologians that the Church's magisterium, or teaching authority, "has not, and indeed cannot, propose any specific moral norms infallibly".

"The church's primary and overriding concern in considering the acceleration or deceleration of population growth is that God's will for the person and for the family be fully respected," he said. This means that "everthing be done within the parameters of the freedom of conscience, the responsible decision of couples, and the principles of family and sexual morality,' he said. In October, the Philippine bishops issued a pastoral letter urging Catholics to avoid becoming involved in a "systematic campaign against childbearing". It told government workers that to dispense contraceptives or refer married couples to sterilisation clinics is wrong.

Recounting the story of Malcolm Muggeridge's conversion in 1983 struck a chord with local convert Father John Lisle. On the death last week of Malcolm Muggeridge, Mosman Park pastor Father Lisle recalled the connection he made with Muggeridge and the article he wrote for The Record (which we reproduce) at the time of the Muggeridge conversion. This week Father Lisle recounted the episode. "In 1976 I bought Muggeridge's book Jesus The Man Who Lives and I preached on the book in Geraldton Cathedral. "I then wrote to him because he said in the book that he found the eucharist and the papacy two difficult things for him to

"Afterwards in the vestry he introduced me to his wife Kitty and then I told him: 'I am the priest who writes to you . . "In a flash he said: 'Ah, that's right.' said: 'I've "He resolved the eucharist but I haven't resolved the papacy. I'm still working on it.' "I didn't hear from Muggeridge for a long time and I wrote to him again. "When he was received into the Church I wrote to him: 'I see you have resolved all now. . . and you've COME HOME.'"
Perhaps in these days of ecumenism it is not popular to speak of "corning home" — I use the phrase both critically and emphatically, being one of those who has done just that — "come home".

the Gentiles so the papacy is to some the greatest of hurdles, and to others a folly.
In his book, Jesus, the Man who Lives, he took to task both the papacy and the eucharist. In letters, I took him up on these points, and in reply he promised to reconsider these basic truths and to study them more closely and seriously.
Paul makes plain that we cannot remove the Cross from our central salvation history to accommodate the sceptical, and neither can we soft pedal the papacy which by divine institution is the very centre of unity. It is true because it is impossiv
When in Perth he told me that the doctrine of the eucharist was no longer a problem, though the papacy he still found difficult to accept. Now, of course, he has resolved this too, and is now a Roman Catholic. In the Church today we have theologians who would advocate soft pedalling the Petrine Truths. Like the Cross — a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to

Malcolm Auggeridge's journey to Catholicism follows the pattern of so many, and like Newman, but starting from an entirely different set of circumstances, he grappled with the complex questions of freedom and conscience. He has had a colourful pilgrimage, and one of the most important driving forces within him was a sense of not really belonging anywhere.
He says: "Just walking along the road we lived in when I was a child, I would find myself wondering, with a poignancy I find difficult now to convey, who I was and how I came to be in that place. As though it were a foreign land and I a stranger, knowing no one and unable to speak the language." When Muggeridge left Cambridge he actively considered becoming an Anglican priest. In 1921 he went to the Anglican Oratory of the Good Shepherd, the home of an Anglican religious order of celibate priests, and was happy with the daily routine, saying observing offices, silences. last long.

the late 'St Mug Always being restless and fired with a sense of belonging to nowhere, and imbued with a strong sense of mission this new-found happiness began to fade. He remained at the oratory during 1922, but the seeds of doubt about the institutional church were already germinating and taking root. He was destined to travel a long way down this road and eventually become agnostic. He became a lecturer in the University of Cairo, then turned to journalism, and in 1953 became the editor of the influential periodical Punch. In the war he joined the Intelligence Corps and was awarded the Legion d'Honneur and the Croix de Guerre. After the war he was often seen on TV and heard on the radio.
His slow journey back to Christianity culminated in the writing of his book Jesus, Rediscovered — an excellent book, but in it he fights off the Roman Catholic Church. Like so many of us who have walked the same or similar paths, we try to postpone the inevitable acceptance of truth for as long as we can. His one excuse for keeping away from the Church was the fact of the changes within it after the Vatican Council. These changes did have a great effect on converts and would-be converts for the simple reason that the one thing Muggeridge thought would not change did, and in many cases radically.

Monsignor Vernon Johnson who became a convert after a long and successful ministry in the Anglican Church said: "It was like finding a secure shelter after being in a violent earthquake."

family-planning centre. It is, in point of fact, extremely improbable, under existing conditions, that Jesus would have been permitted to be born at all. Mary's pregnancy, in poor circumstances, and with the father unknown, would
have been an obvious case for an abortion; and her talk of having conceived as a result of the intervention of the Holy Ghost would have pointed to the need for psychiatric treatment, and made the case for terminating her pregnancy even stronger.
Thus our generation, needing a Saviour more, perhaps, than any that has ever existed, would be too humane to allow one to be born; too enlightened to permit the Light of the World to shine in a darkness that grows ever more oppressive.

Justice in an increasingly disf nctional society ...
Prophetic justice God was forever voicing concern for such secular matters as poverty, hunger, homelessness and economic imbalance in biblical times. The prophets were God's spokesmen on these matters. They have been called "the conscience of Israel", challenging people to live as images of the God of justice. Amos, the first prophet whose sermons have been preserved in writing, is known precisely as the prophet of divine justice. He was sent by God to preach in the northern kingdom of Israel in an era of unparalleled
prosperity — and of social scandalous injustice. Wealth was concentrated in the hands of an arrogant elite, who grew richer and richer at the expense of the poor majority. Amos fearlessly let them know that God was concerned about the situation and recognised it for what it was: "They sell the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of sandals. They trample the heads of the weak into the dust of the earth, and force the lowly out of the way" (Amos 2:6-7). Insistence on social justice became a constant theme in the preaching of all God's messengers.
message unwelcome. "Preach not . . . Let them not preach of these things!"
By Father John J. Castelot Micah found the same economic inequity in the southern kingdom of Judah that Amos found in the north, the same unfeeling exploitation of the powerless. "Woe to those who plan iniquity and work out evil on their couches; in the morning light they accomplish it when it lies within their power. They covet fields, and seize them; houses, and they take them; they cheat the owner of his house, a man of his inheritance." And a few verses later we learn that Micah met a howl of protest from those who found his
But he persisted: "The women of my people you drive out from their pleasant houses; from their children you take away forever the honour I gave them . . . For any trifle you exact a crippling pledge" (Micah 2:11, 6, 9-10). In their defence the people allege how "religious" they are. They do all the "right" things, offering all the prescribed sacrifices at the temple. And the answer comes back: "Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with myriad
streams of oil?" (Micah 6:7). God cannot be bought off. What God does want is stated with simplicity: "You have been told, 0 man, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). Jesus' ministry followed the same prophetic line. So when the Church expresses itself on social matters it is exercising its God-given prophetic mission. If it limited its ministry to what many narrowly define as "religion", it would be derelict of duty. True religion embraces all that is humanly meaningful.
What is Ch1.1rch social teaching? "It's the best-kept secret in the Church," says one. "It will be the downfall of the Church yet," says another. "It" refers to the social teaching of the Church. Catholic social teaching speaks about life in society. It discusses the rights and duties of citizens, governments and nations from a religious perspective. In general, Church social teaching appears on two levels: First is the level of

But when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the Church's social teaching began to shape not just the conduct of individuals, but society itself.

Here the Church tries to articulate what God has revealed, drawing upon Scripture, the wisdom of holy people, previous teachings of the Church, the natural law or the consensus among human beings.

Jane Wolford Hughes quotes a retired businessman who asks if seeing so much inhumanity on television has robbed us of our humanity and a motivation to do more than give money to charitable organisations.
For example, the right to life has prompted the Church to try to change the law permitting abortions and to oppose the death penalty, while securing fair treatment for immigrants and people on welfare.

There is usually agreement about the principles which should govern human life in society. But there is often disagreement about how to apply the principles. The US bishops have consulted people extensively before publishing their social teachings. This does not guarantee that the teachings will be perfectly clear in principle or completely agreeable in practice. But it does mean the Church's social teaching is less likely to be a secret and is more strongly rooted in the daily, conscientious, prayerful living of the whole Church.
Pastoral theologian Father Robert Kinast states tit Catholic social teaching "discusses the rights and duties of citizens, governments, and nations from a religious perspedre.

WACRI gets a home at last By Colleen McGuiness-Howard WACRI (Western Australian Council of Religious Institutes) has found itself a home at 23 Victoria Avenue, Perth and will be sharing premises with Catholic
Communications and the Missions. The executive is delighted because it gives WACRI a central location, a fixed address which they haven't had before and somewhere to house resources with a part time secretary to help.
The WACRI executive (which includes Father Brian Pitman 0. Carm missing from the photo): Sister Gemma Grant SJA, left (treasurer), Sister Gabrielle Burns PBVM (president), Father Christopher Ross OSM (secretary) and Sister Maura Kelleher RSM who with Father Pitman are executive members, making a first call from their new premises. This is the first time WACRI has had a fixed facility and president Sister Gabrielle Burns, PBVM says it was largely due to the efforts of Fay Colum from the Chancery office. Prior to this move religious had gathered in each other's communi-
ties but now they can gell their activities under one roof with a contact number
(325 6644).
WACRI was formed in April 1985 and operates on three levels, providing a forum for all male and female religious institutes. The first level is representation of all religious
institutes and in this the council consists of 57 people who are their group's representatives. It allows for representation whether the order has a major leader here or not. This gathering takes place every two months with the aim of bringing
together someone from each one of the institutes. At the second level, within the 57 on the first level, there are 23 who are the senior persons of their congregations (the leaders) who are living in WA.
This level provides them with a forum to
share issues pertinent to themselves. On the third level everyone is involved because it embraces all religious in WA and WACRI provides them with information through sub-committees, informing them at the community and individual level.
Marriages nder scrutiny Anyone reading or listening to the media in today's society could be forgiven for thinking that all is bad in the state of marriage in 1990.
On a Sunday in November this year six couples came together to look at their marriages. This wasn't because they were particularly unhappy with their relationships, but because they know how hard it is when two people have two jobs, home and
outside, to look at themselves and their marriage.
These six couples and two marriage counsellors looked at the level of satisfaction in their relationships, how they talked and listened to one another; the way they handled conflict; and how much time they put into their loving and healing of each other. Some of this they shared with the other couples and some things
they shared only with each other.
They were surprised to find that many of their experiences were similar, but because the reality of marriage is unique to each couple, they were also able to see that ways of loving and ways of resolving conflict are not the same for all couples. They saw that the growth of the intimacy in their marriage required effort and responsibility

Call in Bunbury to discuss challenges
Bishop Peter Quinn. 10 The Record; November 29, 1990
Economic conditions are putting many country families into crisis about their future and Bunbury Diocese has called on its members to discuss those challenges. In an Advent pastoral letter Bishop Quinn says the concerns were discussed by the diocesan pastoral council and a diocesan wide discussion will take place in the new year. The bishop's letter reads: Advent is with us once again, the time to renew our welcome to Christ Our Saviour. By prayer and penance we can purify our attitudes, strengthen our willpower and deepen our personal life of union with Jesus the Lord. This Advent brings with it much heartbreak and distress to many in this rural Diocese of Bunbury. Economic hardships and agricultural depression are putting many families in situations of crisis regarding their future. Some are not sure that they can remain on their family properties, some are not able to meet the costs of educating their children, some already have have had the banks take over their businesses.
The list of concerns is well known to you and their impact on the lives of fellow parishioners was raised at our last Diocesan Pastoral Council meeting held in Collie. What can we as Catholic people do to offer assistance, support and encouragement. I hope each parish will discuss those challenges and in the new year it is proposed that we gather to have a diocesan wide discussion to see how we can be of help in our parishes and the wider community. During Advent I ask every parish at each Sunday Liturgy to reflect on these serious concerns and to have special prayers offered for those suffering, and for the guidance of our country's leaders and advisers who have the responsibility of political and economic decision making. Let us support each other in faith and friendship as we contemplate the coming of Christ the Lord in the stable of Bethlehem. And may Mary our blessed Mother support us with her powerful prayers. A peaceful and blessed Christmas to you

Foley Archbishop blessed crosses at a ceremony which gave official recognition to stages two, three and four which was attended by Dr Peter Tannock, director of Catholic Education, along with parliamentary persons and many guests. Among the invitees were people who had been involved in its initial concept, such as Lawrence Father
Murphy who was parish priest of Bellevue and then Greenmount after its relocation, along with some original teachers who had taught in its early stages. Total cost of the project is $1.5 million with funding provided by the Bunbury diocese and the state government; these loans are serviced by the parish and school community along with funds from the Catholic Education Coresponsibility Building Fund. The Commonwealth government has also assisted by providing capital grants. But the job

St Anthony's school began under the Daughters of Charity in 1957, but with heavy demand for places, the school had to relocate to a larger site
Plague hits monastery Holy Moses . . . it's a plague of locusts! And even the sacred precincts of a monastery are not immune from these flying invaders. It was a scene unrivalled in the 144-year history of the Benedictine Monastery at New Norcia. An advance squadron landed on the corrugated iron rooftop on Thursday and sitting istside my room the sound reminded me of giant raindrops falling. Inside the papal enclosure of the mon-

Monks watched in astonishment as they peppered the skyline and appeared to fall like large snowflakes around the township. The plague of locusts had already plundered the green pastures of towns in the Victoria Plains such as Moors and Calingiri. Most of the wheat crops in the area are a
golden brown and this proved a minor blessing for farmers as the locusts concentrated on greenery of any description. Students at New Norcia Catholic College enjoyed some sport by running around the grounds trying to catch as many locusts as they could — with their hands! Being Irish, I was advised not to wear anything green for the next week or two, otherwise . . . And how long the "curse" will last only Pharaoh knows!
because of the inadequacy of the existing. First stage was the relocation of St Anthony's church from Bellevue to its present Blackboy Hill hectares in 1983. This was achieved under the guidance and planning of Father Lawrence Murphy who incorporated in the church design, a large area which could be utilised as extra church seating space, a function hall, and a pre-school centre during the day. Gradually as each stage was completed, other classes followed until the
present situation where all years are now on the Greenmount site. Last year the school oval was completed, mainly due to the generosity of parents giving their time on weekends and after hours, effecting a cost saving of $100,000 through their voluntary efforts. During its history, the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart took over from the Daughters of Charity and then in 1983 it assumed lay leadership with the appointment of Mr Terry Palmer, its current principal.

Brewery: 3-prong blast The three heads of the Social Justice Commissions of the Anglican, Catholic and Uniting Churches in Perth have condemned the decision by the premier, Dr Carmen Lawrence, to push ahead with restoration of the Old Swan Brewery. "In spite of the findings and recommendations of the Museum's Aboriginal Cultural Materials Committee that the Old Swan Brewery site should not be developed because of its significance to Aboriginal people, Dr Lawrence and the
WA Government have decided to go ahead with redevelopment of the building. "This reversal of her earlier statement that the committee's findings would be respected, leaves Aboriginal people in an invidious position," said Christabel Bridge on behalf of the three commissions. Dr Lawrence's further claim that "planning for the redevelopment of the brewery buildings is based on the concept of providing a popular and
attractive cultural and recreational foreshore venue for the whole community" shows a lack of respect for Aboriginal spiritual beliefs, and a refusal to understand that the building is a devastating symbol of our society's historically damaging influence upon Aboriginal people of the south-west. Not only the Nyoongah communities, but our community too, loses spiritually by this determined and relentless erosion of Aboriginal spiritual values.

101•1111L•111•11•1 FAVANANA.VAII C ROSSROADS TO TOMORROW
With the 1991. Catholic Youth Conference "Crossroads to Tomorrow" now just six weeks away, organisers have issued three important calls to young people and parents, including an exciting Christmas gift idea. The first is a reminder to youth to register now for the big event, to be held January 11-16 at Aquinas College in Manning. Early registration will avoid a last-minute rush to assign elective topics and accommodation, as well as organising trans-
port details for events held outside Aquinas.
will be a concrete way of supporting the Conference even if you are unable to attend the January gathering. Organisers have also come up with an answer for parents wondering what to give your 16 year old for Christmas: why not give them the chance of a lifetime, and register them for "Crossroads to Tomorrow"? Just $150 for five full days in the healthy company of other young people, expanding their vision, having fun, and exploring their possibilities to take responsibility for our future as Church and society.
The second call is for support for one of the last major fund-raisers for the Conference, a quiz night to be held at 7.30pm on Wednesday, December 5 at the Bedford Parish Hall, Wood Street, Bedford. The first quiz night at Applecross recently was a great success, with most competitors taking away a prize, and organisers are planning a similarly successful night this week. All youth groups are urged to send people along to the event, which

Beautiful Australia
Wild Places of Australia. Discovering the savage beauty of Australia's national parks, (Bay Books, $34.95). Wild Places of Australia is an invaluable guide to Australia's national parks. It is a well-balanced combination of marvellous photographs, descriptions that will
inspire you to go out and see the parks for yourself and practical advice on how to do so. Since Australia's first national park (the world's second) was declared back in 1879, we have come to appreciate more and more how important national parks are in protecting and
14 The Record, November 29, 1990
preserving what remains of our national environment, and in providing recreation areas for ourselves. As a result of such interest, an enormous variety and number of national parks have been declared. They range from tiny pockets of tropical rainforest to vast areas of desert, from coral cays to snowfields, and from sand dunes to rocky headlands. Some have highly developed tourist facilities, complete with metalled roads, campsites, lodges and shops, while others are wildernesses in remote areas, accessible only to the most determined travellers with four-wheel-drive vehicles. Wild Places of Australia documents the entire range of national parks with the aid of stunning photographs which were taken especially for the book. The text describes the major parks according to types of environment (coasts and islands. highlands and forests, outback and the Centre), paying particular attention to their flora and fauna and any special features, such as Aboriginal rock art. In addition, an up-to-daie directory gives detailed information on over 300 national parks — where each one is, how to get to it, and what there is to see and do there.
