Mexican Border Bishops Call For Justice For Farm Workers EL PASO,

Texas (CNS)

— Three

Catholic bishops on the U.S.- Mexico border urged "every person of conscience" to join in a battle for justice for migrant farm workers.

In a joint statement Oct. 1 6 the three called it a "moral imperative" to change

farm workers' "unacceptable" living and working conditions.

Farm workers, they said, are "our sisters and brothers who harvest the food we eat."

Signing the statement were Bishops Raymundo J. Pena of El Paso, Ricardo

Ramirez of Las Cruces, N.M., and Juan Sandoval Inigues of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The border the Mexican diocese shares with the two U.S. dioceses stretches nearly 500 miles.

"Agricultural workers represent the poorest working group in the United States and Mexico," the bishops said.

"Their basic

as food,

and education are perilously lacking.... Everyone participating in the food chain bears a responshelter, health care

I have a special vested interest in that I am a born and raised committed Catholic mother of a born and now an ordained Southern raised Catholic son Baptist minister.

We have had years of our own Baptist-Catholic dialogue and find that one very important fact we agree on is that Southern Baptist and Catholics are closer to each others' beliefs in Jesus Christ than most people realize.

I am praying that my son and his family come back to the fullness of God's truth that deposit of faith which exists in the Roman Catholic Church.

They did manage to get in a couple of stions but most of the segment was a shouting match between the two candidates, lay have been good entertainment but it wasn't very enlightening.

Speaking of enlightenment, another one of my pet peeves is the growing trend ;andidates to downplay or even ignore their party affiliations. There are political signs all over Charlotte. I've seen exactly two that mentioned a party. One was ;mocrat and the other a Libertarian.

Am I asking too much when I want to know to what party a candidate belongs? i't tell me I should be able to figure it out from the candidate's position on the es. Once upon a time, that was easy to do. But, now it's a little hard to do when iidates from both major parties are on all sides of just about every issue.

I suppose it is too much to hope that politicians will go back to the old type of e-oriented, reasonably clean campaign where you knew where every candidates >d. But it sure would be nice. I might even start enjoying politics again.

I read a book by a priest who said the Blessed Mother told him the tabernacle with the Eucharist should be placed in the center of the church and "should be the center of your ecclesial gatherings."

You would be blessed if you believed the same thing, and not talk about putting the Blessed Sacrament in a "side chapel." Anyway, a priest told me all those rules apply only to special churches. (Ohio) is

This is nothing new; it goes back to the beginning of Christianity. Let me offer one example from our own time, long before the "new" Church, which you seem

to reject.

For decades the most prestigious, detailed study of this subject in the Christian world was The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, by Father Nicholas Gihr (final edition 1897, English translation 1902).

For what purpose, he asks, "are

all those magnificent churches and altars built, dedicated and furnished with every imaginable adornment that art and nature can produce? Principally for the celebration of holy Mass" (p. 199).

The Church's present guidelines and regulations, some of which I quoted in the column to which you refer, continue that belief.

These guidelines or regulations simply articulate what constitutes intelligent, informed liturgical good sense. More than one official document on the liturgy repeats, for example, the idea that having the reserved Eucharist on or near the altar is

Does this reaction perhaps tell us something about so many Catholics losing the ;e that the celebration of Mass is the absolute center of Catholic life and worship? atever the answer to that, or whatever someone says the Blessed Virgin told him, response simply gave the specific liturgical guidelines of the church.

It is strange, by the way, that much of the current emphasis on the reserved harist being in some way superior to the holy sacrifice of the Mass is traceable everal of the alleged apparitions and messages said to involve our Blessed

This of course implies some developed sense and awareness of the function of liturgical sign and symbol.

As an aside, do you realize that veneration of the reserved sacrament only developed because, and in those places where, the eucharistic body of Christ was kept after Mass so it could be taken to the dying and the sick?

Vatican Council II was the beginning of a great movement in the life of the Church which has not really come to an end but will continue for a long time to come.

The bishops started an intense process of reflection on the significance of the evangelical message for our times. Now it is the turn of the community to continue the same process, always with the purpose of bringing the good news effectively to the notice of every human being so that those who must exist "in the shadow of death" may have life, life in abundance.

By ESTELLE WISNESKI At a time when many evangelical Christians are "coming home" to Rome because they have become conv inced of the truth of the Church 's teaching re: the evil of artificial contraception, it seems ironic that Father John Catoir ( 10/2/92 column) chooses to focus on the dissent from this teaching by a retired Austrian Cardinal.

Another recently retired bishop of the Church, Glennon Flavin of Lincoln, Neb., wrote in his 10/6/91 pastoral letter to his flock: "The ban on contraception is not a disciplinary law of the Church, like abstinence on Friday, which the Church can enact and which the Church can change and from which the Church can dispense for good reasons. Rather, it is a divine law which the Church cannot change any more than it can change the law of God forbidding murder. Artificial contraception is wrong, not because the Church says it is wrong (it was wrong before Christ established the Church); it is wrong because God Himself, through the revelation of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, has declared it to See Wisneski, Page

"Liturgical prayers for those in need,

"I think you're forgetting the main point. It isn't enough to get the people to the liturgy; we have to get the lit-

urgy into the people."

I heard that comment by an elderly priest during a lengthy and inconclusive group discussion of which holy days of obligation should be retained in the United States. The group was attempting to respond to a request for input from our bishops.

That priest's pastoral wisdom succinctly paraphrased Vatican Council intention in restoring the liturgical The instruction for implementing the council's liturgy constitution

ness, decisions.

Who

they are and how they act in the liturgy affects who they are and how they act in the rest of their lives.

For example, the biblical stories proclaimed in the liturgy remind people how God acted in the past.

Hearing these stories inclines people to expect God to act in the present and to recognize God's action.

Likewise the reverent use of material things in the liturgy conveys respect for nature and the products of human creativity. This makes people more sensitive to the environment and more careful about consumption and waste.

This framework can help to explain the characteristics of a liturgical people.

Through baptism each person

shares in the priesthood of Christ. A liturgical people knows that this includes every aspect of life, from its beginning (baptism) to its end (Christian burial), from its joys (marriage) to its sorrows (anointing and the care of the sick), from its heights (Eucharist) to its depths (sin and penance).

A people formed by liturgy sees its daily life as a spiritual sacrifice, a term the council used to refer to making ordinary things holy.

Those who prepare a family meal are extending the eucharistic meal.

Those who help a friend or colleague overcome a fault are offering the grace of reconciliation. Those who encourage and support others are confirming

think sacramental people develop along certain pretty interesting

Some of those lines:

Sacramental people grow attuned over a long period of time to the considerable possibility that there is more to everything than meets the eye.

Material things, people: These are signs of God, their creator.

Next, sacramental people come to suspect that God may at any time touch them through a whole world of signs. Sacramental people learn, for example, to keep watch for God's presence in other people who convey hope, provide nourishment, offer vitality.

Finally, sacramental people tune in to the possibility that like others around them, they too can be signs of God. Through them, God may want to touch others.

This dramatic commingling of the lives of the people with the life of God made an indelible impression on them.

They were deeply conscious of their oneness with God and of what that oneness implied for their lives.

It affected everything they did.

The liturgy of baptism, reinforced by that of the Eucharist did not work like magic. It established an interpersonal relationship that called for free, personal acceptance and a responsible living of the implications of that relationship in all of daily life.

ranked Crusaders are poised to make their run at a berth in the national soccer tournament.

The road to the NAIA Nationals, which this year is being held at Incarnate Word, Texas, resumes tomorrow (Oct. 3 1 ) as the Crusaders travel to High Point University to take on the winner of the Barton-Pfeiffer quarterfinal game.

Earlier this year, the Crusaders defeated Pfeiffer College 7-0 at Misenheimer behind a hat trick from Willie Failes. The Crusaders also defeated Barton College 3-0 at Belmont. Barton is 8-5-2 on the year while Pfeiffer is 3-1 1-0. The semifinal matchup will be played Saturday, Oct. 3 1 at noon. The championship game will be played Sunday at a time to be determined.

Should either Belmont Abbey or High Point win the conference championship, then the Crusaders will advance to the NAIA District 26 Tournament. They would play at Presbyterian, which won the South Atlantic Con-

Goalkeeper Vidar Pettersen is the leader in career shutouts with 28, and he is second in career goals against average with 0.97.

Last year, the Belmont Abbey volleyball team was 7-18. After last week's impressive run in the Salem Tournament, they are now 6-16 (as of Monday) with at least six games to go. They have two games left this week, away at St. Andrews today, and away at Pfeiffer on Friday.
