National lay board meets on clergy sex abuse

By Jerry Filteau Catholic News Service WASHINGTON (CNS) — The new National Review Board , set up to monitor the Catholic bishops ' handling of the clergy sex. abuse crisis, has called on all dioceses in the country to report to it by the end of August on the status of their sexual abuse policies and practices.

The board , meeting for the first time Jul y 31, also declared it would try to select the director of a new national Office for Child and Youth Protection by Sept. I. Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, board chairman , said the board needs the status reports to give it a "snapshot or ' view from the heartland ." He said the Sept. 1 target for selecting an office director sends a message by the start of the school year that the church is taking the safety of children seriously.

In a conversation with reporters after the press conference, Keating said, "I think the most important thing we lay people have, even if we can 't hire or lire bishops, is the power of the purse and the power to fill up the pews."

If a particular bishop is "insensitive to this agony" and recalcitrant about setting his diocese in order, he said, "that 's the time for the lay community of that diocese to say, "We're not going to write another check ... until things change.'"

Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops attended the board meeting. Although the Vatican has not yet given its approval to legislative norms that would make the bishops ' "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" legally binding on all bishops , eveiy bishop is under substantial pressure from his fellow bishops, the media and Lhe public to comply with it.

"We've seen the destruction that has taken place in the confidence of leadership over the past six, seven, eight months," he said. "No bishop wants to add his name to that list."

The board elected Illinois Appellate r-w—

Before the meeting Keating had a one-hour business breakfast with four representatives of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. Later the SNAP representatives met with the board for about 40 to 45 minutes.

Keating and Burke said afterward that other survivors of clergy sexual abuse will be invited to speak at the board's next meeting, scheduled for Sept. 16 in Oklahoma City.

The National Review Board was mandated by the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" that the U.S. bishops adopted June 14 at their national meeting in Dallas. Its members — 12 so far, with a 13th appointment pending — were selected by Bishop Gregory. While he

Johns Hop kins University psychiatry professor Dr. Paul R. McHugh and Chicago archdiocesan clinical-pastoral coordinator of victim outreach Michael J. Bland, himself a former victim of sexual abuse by a priest.

At the introductory session with USCCB staff, Keating said he viewed the bishops ' charter vote in Dallas as "a mandate from that moment forward to implement its provisions."

He acknowled ged a possibility, of some temporary delays in implementation immediately after the Dallas meeting because of factors such as policy reviews under way oi investi gations not yet completed .

But he added , "I think the clarion call from this board will be intolerance of delay, intolerance of the embrace of the abuser, intolerance of that which went on before ."

"Transparency is transparency. Zero tolerance is zero tolerance ," he said.

SNAP leaders said they regard several dioceses as violating the charter, based on published news accounts about priests accused but not immediately removed , efforts by church lawyers in Kentucky to seal civil suits under a state law calling for certain cases to be sealed, and the reinstatement of a priest in Virginia before the diocesan review board made a recommendation on the case.

After meeting with the board, SNAP leaders expressed hopes that the board would schedule a weekend retreat with abuse survivors , saying that meeting survivors face-to-face and hearing their stories is an important part of learning what sexual abuse of children reall y means.

Justice Burke said such a retreat would be difficult to arrange, but the board plans to achieve the same goal by slating time for abuse victims to speak at the next board meeting.

Eight bishops p ropose holding p lenary council of U.S. church

WASHINGTON — Eight U.S. bishops have asked their fellow bishops to consider convoking a national plenary council to promote holiness , priestl y celibacy and sound sexual morality in the U.S. Catholic Church.

Such a council would be the first in the United States since the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1 884, which lasted nearl y a month and led to the development of the Baltimore Calechism and strong efforts for Catholic schools throug hout Ihe country .

In a letter sent to the bishops in mid-Jul y and obtained

by Catholic News Service Aug. 6, the group said the bishops "took a first step in dealing with the crisis of sexual abuse of minors " at their June meeting in Dallas. The letter added , however, that the bishops still need to address "the root causes of this crisis."

The letter was signed by Auxiliary Bishop Allen H. Vigneron of Detroit; Bishop Robert C. Morlino of Helena , Mont.: Archbishop Daniel A. Cronin of Hartford , Conn.; Archbishop James P. Keleher of Kansas City, Kan.; Archbishop Oscar H. Lipscomb of Mobile , Ala.; Archbishop John G. Vlazny of Portland , Ore.; Bishop Raymond L. Burke of La Crosse, Wis.; and Bishop Daniel N. DiNardo of Sioux City, Iowa.

Voucher backers file app eal after judg e strikes down Florida law

WASHINGTON — The executive director of the Florida Catholic Conference said he was "disappointed and surprised" by Ihe Aug. 5 ruling by a state jud ge striking down Florida 's voucher law. Michael McCarro n, who heads the public policy arm of Florida 's bishops , said that he thinks the decision is "very narrow."

Florida Circuit Court Jud ge P. Kevin Davey said the state constitution is "clear and unambiguous" in prohibiting public money from going to churches or other "sectarian institutions. " The decision is being appealed by the state.

The ruling could mean that 46 students who attend private schools under the voucher program and hundreds of others who p lanned to use the program in the upcoming year will be required to return to their public schools.

About 12 Catholic schools in four Florida dioceses partici pate in the progra m that this year would have involved at least 160 students at their schools.

Father Carter placed on leave, denies sexual abuse charge Attorne ys representing a woman who says she was sexually abused b y Father Daniel Carter more than 23 years ago held a press conference in front of the offices of the Archdiocese of San Francisco on August 8 announcing a civil lawsuit against the Archdiocese and Father Carter and demanding the priest be removed from ministry.

Father Carter, who was placed on administrative leave from his position as pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary parish in Belmont on August 8, strong ly denies the allegation and said that he will appeal the decision to place him on leave. The 51 year-old priest maintains his innocence and has hired San Francisco attorney Joseph O'Sullivan to represent him.

Stockton attorney Laurence Drivon said the lawsuit alleges that on one occasion, Father Carter "sexuall y abused and exploited plaintiff... by engaging in illegal sexual contact with her" when she was under the age of ei ghteen.

The suit , which seeks unspecified monetary damages against the Archdiocese and Father Carter was filed under a new state law, effective January 1, 2003, allowing civil litigation in certain child sexual abuse cases regardless of the current age of the victim or how long ago the abuse occurred.

The plaintiff, identified only as Jane Roe, says she was a student at Notre Dame des Victoires elementary school in San Francisco when the alleged abuse occurred. The date of the alleged abuse is not specified in the suit , which places the incident in 1977-1978 at one point and 1978-1979 at another point.

David Clohessy, executive director of Survivors ' Network of those Abused by Priests, who was present at the conference , described the alleged abuse as "skin to skin contact in the living room ," of the plaintiffs home.

i £\

Father Carter 's attorney, Mr. Joseph Sullivan said , "Father Carter totall y denies the charges. The allegations hav e no basis in truth or reality." Father Carter believes he will prevail and "hopes the Church will not get off on the wrong foot on paying for fallacious law suits," Sullivan said.

Father Carter was studying at the Franciscan School of Theology in Berkeley for the Society of Mary (Marists) fro m 1977 to 1979. He also served as a reader and deacon at Notre Dame des Victoires and All Hallows parishes in 1978 and 1979. Father Carter was ord ained a priest for the Marist order in 1979 and was incardinated a priest of the Archdiocese of San Francisco in 1991.

In a statement released to the press on August 8, the Archdiocese said it had received a report from the 33 yearold plaintiff in late-March of this year claiming that Father Carter had molested her on one occasion in the 1970s. The statement noted the Archdiocese turned the allegation over to the District Attorney of San Francisco where the woman said the incident occurred. At this time, no charges have been filed against Father Carter.

The allegation was also sent to the Archdiocesan Sexual Abuse Review Board for its recommendation to Archbishop William J. Levada. The board, mostly lay men and women, is composed of experts in psychology, social work, medicine and law. None of the lay members is emp loyed by the Archdiocese.

The statement by the Archdiocese said the Review Board's analysis was inconclusive, pending further information from ongoing investigations. Nonetheless, the board felt it would be prudent for Father Carter to be placed on

administrative leave and undergo an assessment. The board presented this determination and recommendation to Archbishop Levada on June 7. Archbishop Levada subsequentl y informed the priest of the planned action. Father Carter at first appeared open to this action. In Jul y, he informed the Archbishop that his civil and canon lawyers advised him against it in view of his strong denial of the allegation. At that time, Father Carter expressed his intention to appeal the action through canon law.

Also in Jul y, Archbishop Levada held over Father Joseph Healy in his assignment as parochial vicar of Immaculate Heart of Mary in anticipation of Father Carter being placed on administrative leave. The Archbishop was in the process of exploring his canonical options relating to Father Carter 's resistance to the leave of absence, at the time the press conferenc e was held on August 8.

The statement by the Archdiocese said Archbishop Levada had placed Father Carter on administrative leave for the good of the Church pending resolution of the allegation through internal reviews and the external investigation by the District Attorney 's office. It noted that this action should not in any way imply a jud gment as to the innocence or guilt of Father Carter in this matter; rather it ensures that this public allegation not be an obstacle to effective pastoral ministry.

Father Healy, who has been asked to handle the administration of tire parish in the interim, read the statement at all Masses this weekend and said, "the parishioners have been very loving and very supportive , but of course very pained at the whole thing." Many parish groups are gathering together to pray and discuss the situation , he said.

Archdiocese's response to abuse

Outreach to victims, f ormation of review board

The National Review Board called for by the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" met for the first time on July 31 and asked all dioceses in the Unite d States to provide it with a "snapshot" of their sexual abuse policies and practices by the end of August. The reports will enable the board to anal yze what policies are already in p lace, and determine what progress dioceses are making in implementing the Charter.

While the Charter was adopted June 15 and an office for the National Review Board will not be set up until September 1, it is hoped that this information will allow the board to hit the ground running.

The Charter calls for outreach to victims, survivors and their families.

Auxiliary Bishop John C. Wester, Presentation Sister Antonio Heap hy, Superintendent of Catholic Schools Maureen Huntington and others from the Archdiocese have been meeting with victims, including members of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) for dialogue/listening sessions.

From this process emerged some con-

crete ideas about shaping a formal assistance ministry, as called for by the Charter. These plans will take shape beginning in September.

Discussions already hav e taken place regarding the need to develop an appropriate outreach to anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse as a minor by anyone acting in the name of the Church. This outreach is to include counseling, spiritual assistance , support groups and other social services.

Pastoral outreach must also be directe d to faith communities where the sexual abuse occurred.

The Archdiocese is in compliance with the Charter 's provisions for reporting of child sexual abuse. All incidents of suspected abuse of a minor are required to be reported to civil authorities.

The Charter also calls for dioceses to cooperate with public authorities about reporting in cases when the person is no longer a minor. The Archdiocese has provided information on all known allegations of abuse against clergy or other employee reaching back more than five decades to the district attorneys of

Marin , San Mateo and San Francisco counties. All administrators were required to attend mandatory workshops in Spring, 2001 to receive training on the

subject of child abuse and in their reporting responsibility in conjunction with Child Protective Services. In addition , all RESPONSE TO ABUSE, page 7

employees are required to receive a copy of Archdiocesan policies and procedure s regarding child abuse and sexual harassment and to review a videotape outlining appropriate ministerial/employment boundaries.

The Charter also calls for the creation of diocesan review boards to assist the bishop in assessing allegations and fitness for ministry " of accused priests. The Archdiocese established a Fact-Finding Committee last year and this body will serve as the Archdiocesan Sexual Abuse Review Board. The majority of the members of the board are lay peop le, as called for by the Charter. None of the lay members is employed by the Archdiocese.

The board includes professionals with expertise in law, medicine , psychology and social work. Aside from providing general advice on policies and procedures, the board assists in the preliminary investi gation of complaints against

priests and other employees of the Archdiocese.

The Charter requires alleged offenders to be placed on leave if a preliminary investi gation so indicates. If even one instance of abuse is admitted or further "established after an appropriate investigation in accord with canon law," the offending priest or deacon "will be permanentl y removed from ministry."

This may include a request by the priest or deacon for "dispensation from the obfigation ot holy orders or request by the bishop for dismissal from the clerical state." In some cases, if a priest is not dismissed from the clerical state , the Charter calls for him "to lead a life of prayer and penance ," while he will not be allowed to celebrate Mass publicl y, wear clerical garb or present himself as a priest.

Along with others in the Archdiocese including committees from the Council of Priests , the Archdiocesan Review Board has been activel y involved in the initial steps of implementing the Charter within the Archdiocese.

Prosecutor clears retired Wyoming bishop CHEYENNE, Wyo. (CNS) — Police and prosecutors in Cheyenne have cleared retired Cheyenne Bishop Joseph H. Hart of any wrongdoing related to allegations that he had sexually abused a minor more than two decades ago.

Natrona County District Attorney Kevin Meenan announced July 30 that he and the Cheyenne Police had concluded the allegations against the bishop were without merit.

Meenan , acting as special prosecutor for the investigation , said in a statement that the allegations are "without merit, and therefore the case must be unfounded."

Bishop Hart issued a statement saying that "these allegations and the publicity they generated have been devastating to

" The investi gation followed accusations made to police in April by a relative of a 39-year-old man who claimed Bishop Hart had forced him to expose himself when the man was 13 or 14 years old.

Meenan told reporters in Cheyenne that the alleged victim refused to cooperate with investi gators , while Bishop Hart was cooperative. Investigators said they found no evidence to support the allegations and that statements made by the accuser contained contradictory information.

Bishop Hart, 70, retired last September as head of the Cheyenne Diocese.

'Day full of j oy' for Saints Juan Diego and Pedro Betancur

By Patrick Joyce Worshipers filled August 4 St. Mary's Cathedral for a colorful and joy ful Mass marking the canonizations of Mexico 's Juan Diego and Guatemala 's Pedro de Jose Betancur by Pope John Paul II last month .

Archbishop William J. Levada celebrated the Mass in Spanish. The hymns, readings and the homil y by Father Fabio Medina , pastor of San Francisco 's St. Peter Church , were also in Spanish.

"This is a day full of joy," Father Medina said, "... God has blessed an Evangelizer , Brother Pedro de Jose Betancour , and an Evan gelized, Juan Diego." Father Medina described the new saints as "two men who gave themselves totally to others in service."

Juan Diego's vision of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531 helped fuel the conversion of the native people of the Americas to Christianity. Brother Jose Betancur, a 17thcentury missionary, built hospitals, schools and shelters in the former Guatemalan capital now called Antigua.

Pope John Paul II canonized Juan Diego in a ceremony at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City Jul y 31, a day after declaring Pedro Betancur a saint during a Mass in Guatemala City attended by 500,000 people.

"The canonization of Juan Diego becomes a luminou s sign of the reign of Christ in one single person who links the Nahuatl culture , the recently-arrived Spaniards and the nascent mestizo culture," Father Medina said.

"The Church has recognized the work of the Holy Spirit

in the life of Juan Diego, a missionary of Jesus Christ, seer and messenger of the immaculate and blessed Virgin Mary," he said.

"Juan Diego received from his Queen and Lady the assurance that she would always be by his side, thus he could trust her completely," Father Medina said. "Jesus said the same to Peter after a long day of hard work, and John Paul II has expressed it on numerous occasions while addressing the whole Church, the youth , indigenous people, the sick, those who, alienated , seek happiness, liberty and try to make sense of every day life. Hope rests on the daily presence of Christ: 'Know that I am with you to the end of time.'"

Father Medina described how Brother Pedro Betancur arrived in Guatemala in 1651, a 25-year-old from Spain.

"When he first arrived, kissing the ground , he said, 'This is the land where I will live and die.' In January 1655 he asked to be admitted in the Third Franciscan Order, and made his religious profession in 1656."

Brother Pedro founded the first school in Guatemala "to teach Christian doctrine and to teach the young and old to read and write," Father Medina said. "Later on, Brother Pedro worked in his small hospital together with his brothers of the Third Franciscan Order. They also established the fourth hospital in the history of Guatemala and the first one in America and the world for convalescent patients."

Brother Pedro went on to found the Bethlemites, the first reli gious order originating in the Americas. Among those at his canonization Mass July 30 in Guatemala were Bethlemite sisters and the 10 brothers who represent the

The Bethlemite Brothers , who once numbered 500 and ran 32 hosp itals in Central America , were suppressed by the Spanish court in 1820 for alleged pro-independence activities. Four years after the pope beatified Hermano Pedro in 1984, he reestablished the order, and it has slowl y begun rebuilding.

"The visit of the Hol y Father to Guatemal a and Mexico is an occasion for Thanksgiving to God, the Lord of the harvest , for His countless blessings lavishl y bestowed on these lands in the American Continent. Furthermore, it is an invitation to holiness , the incomparable way to fulfill the new life of the Christian person. It might seem to us that there is little that we can do or give to others, but the gospel today reminds us that that which seems little becomes great if we put in the hands of God."

At the close of the Interfaith Service, Archbishop Levada will bless the Book of Remembrance. The book will be sent to New York and placed at several churches there by Franciscan Father Jim Goode, former pastor of St. Paul of the Shipwreck in San Francisco.

The Book of Remembrance will be placed first at St. Michael the Archangel Church , the Bronx , New York, a parish that lost many parishioners at the World Trade Center; second, to the Shrine Church of St. Anthony, in Greenwich Village near Ground Zero; third to St. Peter 's Catholic Church a block away from Ground Zero .

Firefighters took the body of Father Mychal Jud ge to this church after he was killed after giving the last rites to a firefighter at the World Trade Center last September 11.

The final slop for the book will be St. Paul' s Chapel, one block from Ground Zero. This is an Episcopal Church and was turned into a support center for victims , their families and the many workers in the area.

INS derails Arab peace activist's San Francisco trip

By Kamille Nixon Hi-ham Sharabati , a Palestinian peace activist who was to have spoken at events sponsored by San Francisco Catholics , was denied entry into the United States Jul y 22 , then deported.

Mr. Sharabati was detained for 28 hours after he landed at Chicago 's O'Hare International Airport Jul y 22, and voluntaril y deported , according to Anne Flalte , one of the local organizers who scheduled Mr. Sharabati , a Palestinian Muslim , and Devorah Brous , an Israeli Jew, for talks at local churches and other sites.

The Compassionate Listening Project of MidEast Citizen Di p lomacy, based in Indianola , Wash., was joined by local Catholic sponsors , including St. John of God Church , St. Thomas Moore Church , St. Ignatius Parish Social Ministry, St. Agnes Parish Faith to Justice Committee , the Arab-American Catholic Community, and Ihe Archdiocese 's Office of Public Policy and Social Concern , in sponsoring the talks.

"People are always asking, 'Where are the peace activists?' and here was one," said a saddened St. John of God parishioner Jim McDonald , who heads the church' s peace and justice committee. "I' m sure it ' s pretty fair to say they treated him like a terrorist ."

Mr. McDonald said Ms. Brous spoke at the scheduled event at St. John of God and Mr. Sharabati participated by telep hone.

'It s reall y sad because if somebod y was a war supporter they would be allowed in ," Mr. McDonald said.

Plus , political activists Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Ghandi , both of whom had been sent to jail for political reasons, would not be allowed into the U.S. under these restrictions , Mr. McDonald said.

"Honestl y it was devastating for all of us," said Hatem Kaysi , brother-in-law to Mr. Sharabati . Mr. Kaysi' s sister, Narman , wife of the peace activist, had been waiting for months to re-unite with her husband.

She was staying with famil y in Kentuck y and had come to the Lexington airport twice to greet her husband , to no avail.

On what was meant to be an especiall y significant reunion because she had given birth to their son in Marc h, word came from Chicago th at the 34-year-old father had been detained for questioning and would not make the flight to Kentucky to meet his son.

Organizers "worked hard to explain " to Immigration and Naturalization Service officials Mr. Sharabati' s identity and purpose in the U.S., Mr. Kaysi said, "but unfortunatel y the decision came for him to be voluntarily deported. " The INS did not return repeated phone calls.

"It was a sad day for all of us ," Mr. Kaysi said.

"What happened to Hisham was not fair whatsoever, with his goals for peace and everything he works for. I have known him for years and Hisham is one of the greatest guys on this planet."

"*".

"They were asking questions in a way that I am a criminal or a terrorist ," said Mr. Sharabati in a telephone interview with Catholic San Francisco from Hebron. Officials , particularl y two whom Mr. Sharabati identified as W. Reed and P. Manno , asked where was he from , how did he arrive , why did he have onl y one handbag, how many times had he been in the U.S. (this was his first visit), and why did he speak English so fluently with an American accent, he said.

They were "very well equi pped " with guns , yelled at him and spoke about him derogatoril y, he said.

Commenting on his black and white kuffieh , or scarf , an INS officer pointed to his forehead and said , "Like the suicide bombers ," Mr. Sharabati said. They rifled throug h his calendar , diary, and computer discs that contained statements and speeches. Some of the speeches mentioned that Israeli officials had detained him in the past.

"I was not hiding " the information , he said , pointing out the speeches were for media release. In one case he was held as an administrative detainee for nearly six months , and in another for about four months.

It was reportedl y those incidents of being detained that ultimatel y derailed his speaking tour and famil y reunion. On his visa application , Mr. Sharabati was asked whether he had ever been arrested for an offense, even if the matter resulted in amnesty or pardon , he said.

He was never arrested for an offense, he said , and answered "no" on the app lication. "All of my detentions were before 1990," he said. "I was never sentenced or charged with anything. All of the issues were political , not a crime. " During the past 12 years he has had no record with the Israelis and has been given freedom of movement at a time when many Palestinians have curfews, he said.

He said he has possessed a permit to move freely and an Israeli .depress card , which requires rigorous security clearances , for six years.

"I am checked (and cleared) ail the time by the Israelis ," he said.

INS officers accused Mr. Sharabati with visa fraud.

At that point he had two choices, eith er to withdraw his visa app lication , return to the American consulate in Jerusalem , exp lain his detentions and try to get a future visa, or to have his visa cancelled , incur a penalty and not be allowed to enter the U.S. for five years.

In what he described as "a big trap ," Mr. Sharabati chose to withdraw his visa application and take the lonely flight to Amsterdam and then to Amman. His wife and infant son followed him home later.

"I was very sad when they put me back," he said. "I was reviewing the reaction of my wife."

In an experience he described as humiliating and very inhuman ," he said he was denied access to a lawyer and treated so badl y he felt he could be in "any dictatorship. "

"It 's unfair I was not given this opportunity at a time when the U.S. says it has no Palestinian partner. This partner is silenced and not given the opportunity. " An Internet name search at www.google.com on Mr. Sharabati turned up links to sites for groups and publications called MidEast Citizen Di plomacy, Earthsteward s Newsletter , CPTnet Hebron: View from Within and the Resource Center for Nonviolence Calendar, and others. They describe him as "a journalist who lives in Hebron ," and a "peace and human ri ghts activist. " A press release from Ms. Flatte describes him as "a fieldworke r for the Palestinian human rights organization LAW, as well as a journalist for LAW's magazine, Peop le 's Ri ghts , and cofounder of the Palestinian Youth Union " who "documents human rights violations: injuries , closures , restrictions on movement , restrictions on health services."

This class focuses for us the meaning of discipleship as Baptismal call and the role of laity proclaimed with Vatican Council II. It will allow participants to see the value of inviting volunteers to join us as adult learners in a Church learning community. Working on skills in communication and organizational management will enhance our work of discipleship.

Bay Area participants : cre-energized, empowered' - and more A group of about 100 young Catholics from the Bay Area became "re-energ ized" and "empowered" as Catholics during their tri p to World Youth Day, participants told Catholic San Francisco.

One pilgrim has been to seven World Youth Days , and attributes them with his continued life. Diagnosed with brain cancer 10 years ago, 34-year-old Sergio Canjura was given three years to live. He decided to make the journey to World Youth Day in Poland , where he asked God and the pope to pray for his continued life.

He still receives chemotherap y here and there and a lot of medicines , but he "definitel y " attributes his continued life to the "miracle" he experiences on these pilgrimages.

The St. Bruno parishioner serves as the Latino representative to the mayor 's office.

His motivation to live is marked "World Youth Day to World Youth Day," he said. Next up: Germany in 2005.

"Some miraculous things can happen ," said organizer San Rafael Dominican Sister Christine Wilcox.

Interacting with young Catholics from around the world made Tuan Anh Nguyen "proud to be Catholic desp ite the times. " Mr. Nguyen , a youth minister for Holy Name of Jesus Parish in San Francisco, found it "encourag ing to see the pope there ," particularl y when the pontiff addressed recent scandals.

"He told us to stand by the Church and to stand up for the Church ," Mr. Nguyen said.

The 23-year-old recent college graduate said he made what he hopes will be lifelong friendshi ps , especiall y with a group from Trinidad , and realized that his "faith is shared by the international community." Mr. Nguyen had also attended World Youth Day in Denver when he was 14 or 15 years old.

A special moment came when he found himself among the relativel y few pilgrims who braved heavy rains to partici pate in the papal Mass. "I made sure a group of us (from the Archdiocese) stayed ," he said.

Participants included youth ministers from various parishes , college students and others. Archdiocesan ethnic communities represented included Arab , Filipino , Vietnamese and others .

An incoming senior at Archbishop Riordan Hi gh School in San Francisco followed in the paths of his older brother and sister , both of whom had attended previous World Youth Days. Christop her Jacinto said it was significant to meet "new peop le from all around the world being th ere for one common thing - God." He too mentioned the rainy Mass , say ing, "we stuck it out. It was good. " What most surprised him was that he had never seen "so many peop le in one place in my life before. " He expects the expenence to hel p him to hve a more religious life , and to reach out to others. The trip will have a lasting impact , he said. "I think about it all the time. "

Northern California pilgrims pray together before venturing to Exhibition Park for the Papal Welcome to Toronto.

CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO Nine weeks af ter Dallas Nine weeks after U.S. Catholic Bishops overwhelmingly approved the "Charter' for the Protection! of Youth and Young People " at their spring conference in Dallas, the dioceses across the country are moving forward to implement the Charter and effectivel y deal with the national scandal of clergy abuse of minors .

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has made additional appointments to tire Charter-mandated national Review Board , headed

by Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, who reports directly to Bishop Wilton Gregory, conference president. In its initial meeting, the national Review Board asked for an implementation update from all dioceses by the end of August.

Plans also are being drawn for - the creation of the Office for Child and Youth Protection at the national USCCB level. This office will have responsibilities for consistent app lication of the Charter, assistance to dioceses in imp lementation , and provide a means of accountability.

Here in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, a group of lay men and women with experience and expertise in psychology, medicine, law, social work and law enforcement serve voluntaril y as members of an Archdiocesan Review Board . This group was established last year as a factfinding committee charged with reviewing allegations of abuse involving a minor and an adult (clergy or lay) emp loyee.

In li g ht of [he Charter, the scope of this lay-majority body has been expanded and the former committee now serves as the Archdiocesan Sexual Abuse Review Board . This board , in conformance with the Charter, assists the Archbishop in assessing allegations and fitness for ministry, and will regularly review Archdiocesan policies and procedures for dealing with sexual abuse of minors.

In addrtion to measures designed to protect children and youth fro m sexual abuse , a major focus of the Charter is outreach to sexual abuse victims/survivors, their families and the faith communities in which the sexual abuse occurred. With input from abuse victims/survivors the Archdiocese is looking to establish an assistance ministry that will demonstrate a sincere commitment to the well being of those who hav e been abused b y clergy.

With these initial steps underway at the national and local levels, there continues to be both criticism and concern expressed by respected and intelligent commentators.

Father Richard John Neuhaus, editor-in-chief of the magazine "First Things " (August/September) challenged the "zero tolerance " approach adopted by U.S. bishops as lacking in mercy and one that sets bishop and priest apart .

In Catholic San Francisco (Jul y 26), Father Gerald Coleman wondered about the ju stice and fairness of penalties now being imposed by bishops on priests. He concluded, "The steps taken so far in the wake of the Charter 's norms seem overly punitive and lacking in the necessary due process owed to eveiy priest."

Certainly, we should not trade a past reluctance to recognize the suffering of those who have been abused for a present reluctance to extend due process to those against whom allegations are made.

Considering the mandates of the Charter, however, another Archdiocesan priest in conversation notes that in light of the egregious examples of abuse by priests such as Father Geoghan of Boston, it is no wonder that the penalties imposed by the Charter are severe.

Archbishop Levada, counted among the approximately one-third of U.S. Bishops who had voiced support for a more moderate policy, came to a conclusion that "The broad support for such a policy means that it is necessary for all of us to support it for the good of the Church in our country. " The appropriate course now is to implement the Charter - with as much determination , good sense and sensitivity as possible — faithful to the truth that in Christ all things are possible.

Respect life measures to note

• Coming up for a vote soon by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is a resolution, sponsored by Supervisor Gavin Newsom, which would put the board solidly behind State Senate Bill 1301. This pending state legislation would change provisions of the existing Therapeutic Abortion Act (to allow people who are not board certified to perform abortions , for example) and rename the law, the Reproductive Privacy Act. The resolution calls simple picketing "anti-choice extremist activities." Call your San Francisco Supervisor to express your views.

• Earlier this month, President Bush signed into law the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which ensures that every infant bom alive - including an infant who survives ait abortion procedure is considered a person under federal law. The president noted, "The child marked for an abortion is recognized now as an entity that comes under the protection of the law."

Allow pa role dates

1 am deeply grateful for the article on Jeri Becker and pray that the Board of Prison Terms will lind her fit for parole and thai the Governor will not take a date away as he has done so many times.

At the same time , 1 think it is important to again remind Ihe readers of the Catholic San Francisco that th ere are many, many men at San Quentin and other prisons equall y deserving of heing paroled.

1 am acquainted with many of these men at San Quentin whom I have known for many years. Many of these men , and I' m sure women as well , have served more than the required time of their sentences. It is time we deluge Ihe Governor demanding (hat he treat these men and women with justice. It is also very important that we remember that the least repeated of all cri mes is murder. Less than 5% of convicted murderer s repeat their crime.

L E T T

I was impressed with the article about prison inmate Jeri Becker and more than a hide interested to read that she is a regular writer for a "Catholic women 's newspaper ," until Ihe publication turned out to be, Catholic Women 's Network. The CWN cop ies I have feature laudatory news items on dissident sisters Jeannine Gramick silenced by the Vatican for her pro-homosexual lectures and Joan Chillisler who defied requests fro m Ihe Vatican not to speak at a rally promoting women priestesses in the Catholic Church.

Articles in other issues of CWN range from declaring the Catechism 's statement "from the firs t moment of his existence , a human being must be recognized as having the ri ght to life" (2270-1) is "misleading " and abortion is not "murder," to lessons on kundalini energy, Cosmos walks and the Reiki touch. One issue devotes the front page to photos of a feminist "Critical Mass" celebrated in an Oakland park by Catholic sisters and laywomen who were, " invited to consecrate the bread and wine in remembrance that , 'We are called to be priests. '" There are articles on the goddess Sophia who CWN believes to be, "Wisdom in the Hebrew scriptures who tells us that she existed before the earth was created and that she was a confidante of God during the time of creation . . . when peop le worshi pped the Divine with images of the feminine. " Last but not least is an article in the March. April 2001 issue b y Jeri Becker herself in which she stales, "Pray ing to Divine Mother as I pick Icommon weeds for her vegetarian dietj this dail y walk nourishes my spirit and my body."

While I hope that in the case of Jeri Becker justice will prevail , I also hope that the New A ge publication for which she

We want the Church

In response to Ms. N. Aherns letter to the editor (July 26) regarding Bill Maher 's remarks and her own "we all would like lo see the Catholic Churc h go away. " Sorry, Christ said he would be with his Churc h until the end of time.

Ms. Ahern and Bill Matter may borro w my videotape of the Hol y Father Pope John Paul II in Toronto, Canada with the youth of today at World Youth Day-Jul y 2002.

His words of truth to them in their search for real happ iness foregoing the superficial happ iness proposed to them by the TV media , movies, music , etc. louches their hearts as seen in their teary-eyed faces and youthful enthusiasm for truth.

The Worl d Youth Day is bringing the youth of the future Millennium to our beautiful Catholic Church under our untiring Vicar of Christ on earth , Pope John Paul II. He has been preparing theit hearts and souls during his pontificate telling them "You are the Sail of the Earth, You are the Light of the World."

It won ' t take generations , the time is now. The young people are shouting and singing "John Paul II - We love you!"

Seminaries share blame

Many of the problems of the U.S. Catholic Church today seem to stem fro m the seminaries.

I recommend that the clergy and lay Catholics read "Goodbye, Good Men" by Michael S. Rose. Rose reports on U.S. seminaries from 1960 to the 1990' s.

In many seminaries , homosexual behavior has been rampant. Gatekeepers , with liberal agendas and sometimes heretical theological op inions differing fro m the dogma and magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church , have kept out or put out orthodox candidates. Thus , we have a shortage of priests and problems with unchaste behavior.

Seminaries with orthodox teachers and formation staff have not had problems in reenriting for the priesthood.

Our bishops need to reform our seminaries and vocations offices to correct the priest shortage and bring back the vision of personal holiness to the priests and the laity.

Sp irituality

John Paul II in Toronto: Wisdom meets energy World Youth Day 2002 has just ended and , from every appearance, was a wonderful success. Hundreds of thousands of young people descended on Toronto for a week and , under the gaze of world television , colorfull y, publicl y, and energetically celebrated dieir faith. The city was sometimes taken aback. How can this be happening ? We live in a secularized culture and it 's assumed that (he young don 't have any faith .

Then this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ancient faith and youthful energy wedded together and publicl y disp layed! As one newspaper editorial put it, "It 's enough to upset your balance. How do you keep your secular perspective in a world awash with faith?"

Moreover, central to this gathering of nearly a million young people was a feeble, largely ph ysically disabled , 82-yearold man, John Paul JJ. The young people came to celebrate their faith , but they came, perhaps more than for any other reason, to meet this man. Why ? At one level, of course, the appeal is obvious. He is, after all, the pope. But such wide appeal also begs some questions: Wh y is this man, who is almost die antithesis of what youth normally idolize, so stunningly popular? Why are all these young people, so full of energy and health, drawn to an old man who walks around in ancient robes?

There is, of course, the appeal of his office, perhaps the most symbolically revered in the world. There is, too, his personal sanctity and charism. He 's a gifted man. But there is something else, something important to name, operative here, too. Besides being a religious event, this was also a human one.

Something happened here that, ideall y, should be happening a lot more often; namely, energy and wisdom were meeting and doing to each other what God and nature intended.

In an ideal world, energy should be enhvemng wisdom and wisdom should be admiring and initiating energy.

What 's meant by this?

Simply put , energy is what drives our planet in terms

of natural motivation , youthful dream s, ph ysical health , physical beauty, color, sexuality, and raw intelligence.

Wisdom is what holds the community together at its center, teaches it meaning, and helps it to cope with suffering and dealh. These are very different things , not to be confused with each other. They are also carried and brought to the table by different constituencies; Youth carry and bring the energy; elders carry and bring the wisdom.

And they need each other. Raw energy, like a stream of gushing water, needs to be channeled. Left to itself , not directed by wisdom , it generall y destroys rather than brings meaning. Uninitiated energy is generall y individualistic , ego-seeking, and the source of jealousy. That is why something can be wonderfull y energetic , colorful , beautiful , funny, brilliant , witty, sexuall y robust , and bursting with ph ysical health and , at the same time, in no way connected with anything that holds community together at its center.

The reverse is also true. Wisdom needs energy. Left to itself wisdom soon becomes gray, colorless, sexless, lifeless , and expressive more of the diminished physical capacities that come with age and handicap than of the pulse that God and nature put into our hearts and instincts. That is why something can be deep, sage, and capable of revealing secrets hidden since the beginning of time and yet seem totally unconnected to our life pulse, our sexuality, and our aches and yearnings. It 's not for nothing that we color wisdom gray.

Tragically, in our day and culture, wisdom and energy are rarely brought together and live almost as enemies. We never mistake Jerry Seinfeld for Henri Nouwen, Madonna for Mother Teresa, Alanis Morissette for Therese of Lisieux, Jay Leno for Billy Graham, or Mick Jagger for John Paul II. We look to the one for energy and to the other for wisdom. That 's unfortunate, because God is the deep source of both the ener-

gy of the one and the wisdom of the other.

The marvel of World Youth Day is that it brought these two togedisr. Energy and wisdom met, had a party, prayed together, informed and initiated each other. John Paul II got to do what .very elder, male or female, is meant to do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mess, challenge, and iirect young energy, even as he was colored , enlivened , and deli ghted by it. And the young pilgrims there got to do what every young person is meant to do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fill the air with dreams and surround those dreams with robust , livel y, colorful, healthy, physicall y beautiful , sexuall y young and yearning energy, even as all of that is challenged , directed , and blessed by what 's wise, aged, gray, and full of secrets that still need to be learned.

Most of us are neither as old as John Paul II nor as full of life and color as the youthful pil grims who met with him.

What 's our job? To be both, pope and pilgrim, to do what the pope did , admire and direct youth, even as, like the youthful p ilgrims, we humbl y bring all that ' s robust and energetic inside us to the wells of wisdom to learn there some of tire deeper secrets.

FamilyLif e

God works in mysterious ways Of our four children , our younger son is the worst traveler. For one thing, he is a homebody who asks as we are making vacation plans , "Wh y can ' t we just stay here?"

For another thing, he has had difficulty accepting changes ever since he was a baby. This was the infant who could not fall asleep in my arm s just anywhere, but who needed to be laid in his crib. This is the boy who says about new food put in front of him , "If I haven ' t tried it yet, I hate it. " When he was ei ght years old, we visited Mexico. He grumbled about the food and the accommodations and the inconveniences we experienced being in a foreign country.

But the greatest Uial for him, and consequentl y for us, occurred on our last ni ght abroad .

We were at an outdoor market, and we told our sons they could pick out something inexpensive as a souvenir.

There were all kinds of hand-crafted items, but my younger son chose a tiny, toy pistol. It was no bigger than a key chain trinket, but I did not like it one bit, so I encouraged him to keep looking. Unfortunatel y, the market closed before he could make another selection.

"I want that gun ," he cried , as we set out for our hotel.

QUESTION CORNER Father John Dietzen

Q.

My brother, who is 85 years of age and lives in a Veterans ' Center, was disillusioned by a pries t in his parish many years ago. He then attended and was possibly christened in a Baptist church. He has arranged a funeral service with a funeral director and will be cremated.

This creates a problem for our family, which has always been Catholic. Do I contact the Catholic priest when he dies or call the Baptist church? I feel , once a Catholic always a Catholic, and would like to have a Mass f o r him at the time of his death and have him buried next to our parents.

Does the Catholic Church have a rule about this? I don . think the priest at our parish will allow a Massfor him or allow him to be buried in the fa mily plot. (Delaware)

"Honey, the place is closed now. We can get you something tomorrow."

"But 1 want that gun," he cried even louder. "You promised me I could get whatever I want, and I want tliat gun. " Then he lost it, and he wailed miserably all the way back to our room.

Oh, I tried everythmg I could think of to calm htm down , while my husband carried both of our small daughters. I tried reasoning, coaxing, threatening, bribing, and in the end patheticall y p leading. How many blocks this went on, I do not remember. It 's all a blur now. But the cringing embarrassment, the sense that I was a failure as a mother, I can recall as if it happened yesterday, In the end, I gave up trying to stop his tantrum and began to pray, "Lord , he is out of control , and so am I. Please make this all better somehow." Then I said Hail Mary 's non-stop until he was tucked into bed.

The next morning, I asked my son to forgive me for not keeping my word and promised him that when we reached the airport I would get him a special treat . "But it won 't be that gun ," he said glumly. Given that he was rested and reasonable again, I responded with, "Well , I asked God to take care of it, and I believe He will. "

After we checked our bags and got our seat assignments, my son and I went to an airport gift shop . "Keep an open mind," I sai d, "and find maybe you 'll something really great. " Within minutes of looking, he called out in surprise, "Look , Mom, it 's the pistol."

Sure enough, there was die same tiny toy gun he had seen and I had loathed before, and there was only one. We bought it, of course, and as soon as my son had it in his handshe said with holy awe, "God sure works in mysterious ways."

Yes, He surel y does.

Vivian W. Dudro

Vivian Dudro is the mother of four (ages four to 13) and a member of St. Mary s Cathedral Parish.

When a relative, formerly a Catholic, dies A. Your options are limited. You are right that in one way of speaking, once a Catholic always a Catholic. The Catholic Church is always open to receive one of its own back.

On die odier hand, the church does not consider it has a right to impose its views and ceremonies on people who explicitl y and consciously reject them. This does not jud ge how the individual stands before God, but we believe we must respect the clear desires expressed before die person died.

Furthermore, there are probabl y legal obstacles to your changing what your brother has contracted with the funeral director. He had a right to plan his funeral and burial , and according to your letter he did that thoughtfully. I believe you need to accept that .

However, this does not exclude your having a memorial service for him yourselves, including Mass. Catholic regulations provide that Masses may be offered for the intention of those who are not Catholic, which would include your brother, at least according to his own feelings.

Two conditions are required.

1. The request should be made by the famil y. This is to assure that , if the famil y is not Catholic , they will not be offended by something they do not believe in , which of course does not apply in your case.

2. No scandal should result (ordinarily in the j udgment of the bishop) for Catholics or for those of other faiths because of an announced Mass intention or memorial Mass for the person not of our faith. (Decree of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, 1976; see also the 1993 Ecumenical Directory, 120) For various reasons such Masses , private or public (announced in the parish bulletin , for examp le), are not only permitted but are positivel y encouraged, according to the 1976 decree, if the family and friends request it.

These regulations make no distinctions based on the previous reli gious history of those who are not Catholic.

As I said, the Catholic Church tries not to violate any individual' s conscience or beliefs , even after death. It does , however, do everything possible to celebrate , in the Eucharist and other ways, the love of Jesus for all people, including those who have departed from the sacramental life of the church .

I feel confident your priest will be much more willing to provide these opportunitie s for your famil y than you expect.

SCRIPTURE & LITURGY 'My house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples' "By you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves." (Genesis 12:3) These words placed by the storyteller on God' s lips as he speaks to Abraham ("Abram" then), took God' s People a long time to unpack. Instead of seeing ihemselves as taken over by God's mission to the whole world , they thought of themselves as exclusive, apart from others, indeed in danger of becoming contaminated by other nations. Book after book of the Old Testament tried to pry the m loose from (heir narrow view: Ruth , Jonah , the second and third part s of Isaiah , Jeremiah, and Ezechiel.

This same scenario seems to enfold the renewed People of God , who assemble Sunday after Sunday to have their horizons broadened and their hearts enlarged. Brace yourself for this Sunday 's liturgy of the Word.

The third part of Isaiah (chapters 55-65), our first reading, constitute s a hi gh-watermark for the expression of inclusivity appropriate for God' s People. So called foreigners are to be welcomed: "The foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, ministering to him, loving the name of the Lord, and becoming his servants — all who keep the Sabbath free fro m profanation and hold to my covenant , them I will bring to my holy mountain and make joyful in my house of prayer. " Outsiders can join God's People and find hospitable welcome even in God's holy temple "for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples."

With an anguish and undefeatable hope typical of Paul, Romans pr oclaims that the Jews ("my race" according to this text), whose "rejection" of the Gospel has caused the "reconciliation of the world" (that is the inclusion of the nations in God's People) will ultimatel y accept that message and preview the final resurrection ("life from the dead"). They are never to be excluded from our inclusive embrace: "For the gifts and Ihe call of God are irrevocable. Just as you once disobeyed God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that , by virtue of the mercy shown to you , they too may now receive mercy."

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Isaiah 56:1, 6-7; Psalm 67; Romans 11:13-15, 29-32; Matthew 15:21-28

Father David M. Pettingill Matthew is so clever in enlarging the hearts of his first hearers and of us. Notice how he first wins over the persuasion of his Jewish Christian converts: Jesus is the capitulation of all that is best in Israel. In chapters 1 and 2 (the Infancy Narratives) Jesus relives the experiences of Moses and Israel; in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is made to say, "Do not think that 1have come to abolish the law or the prophets. 1 have come not to abolish but to fulfill'" ; when sending out his disciples on mission during his earthly ministry, Jesus says, "Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Instances like these reinforce Israel's primary place in God's plan.

When we come, then , to today 's Gospel selection, we are jolte d, as Matthew intended us to be. A non-Jew, "a Canaanite woman," asks Jesus to relieve her tormented daughter. Matthew endows Jesus and his disciples with the

exclusive attitude of his hearers (then and now): "But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her " and "Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us." When Jesus does speak, he is far from encouraging, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." When the woman pleads, "Help me " she hears, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs. " Her response reveals the depth of her faith, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters. " Now comes Matthew ' s point. Jesus is amazed at the woman's faith: "0 woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." If Jesus can be amazed at the faith of a Gentile, cannot Matthew 's hearers be similarly amazed? Put in other words , we can be surprised by those whom God has included in his People, and we might do well to include them ourselves. i_ o.om l.lu .__ . pnlu._ _ run* ..icir_ n Tliio C.ir.rla*. n i l . ) uunuci y m y unoKjiiiui i uu y \rtr\aaA uiuwwu i_'ij .j_ nriTP .£t ' V U I V J ___ H_/ I _

Questions for Small Communities What can make our group more inclusive?

What can make our parish more inclusive?

Father David M. Pettingill is assistant to the moderator of the curia and parochial vicar at St. Emydius Parish , San Francisco.

At an official anival ceremony Jul y 25 at a Toronto fairgrounds near the shores of Lake Ontario, the pope told a cheering throng of young people that real happiness is found in the Gospel, not in worldly success or the "fleeting pleasures of the senses. " He said Christ 's advice to be pure of heart , to love the poor and to build peace has special resonance in a world torn by violence and terrorism.

"Last year we saw with dramatic clarity the trag ic face of human malice. We saw what happens when hatred , sin and death take command ," the pope said , referring to the Sept. 11 attacks.

For many of the youths, the joyous ceremony offered the first glimpse of the pope. Some cried , some snapped pictures , and some climbed on friends ' shoulders for a better view. When he greeted the crowd with the words, "The pope, who loves you dearly," the young peop le interrupted his talk with a five-minute ovation .

The enthusi asm of the gathering was evident as groups from various continents gathered informall y to sing songs, share stories and trade pins to stick on their red World Youth Day backpacks. Man y said the multilingual , multicultural assembly had given them a sense of belonging to the universal church.

"The important thing is seeing how young people from other countries are proud of their faith and knowing I' m not alone," said Pamela French, 16, of Salem, Ore.

Holy Cross Cemetery expands ; new wing to include St. Paul's windows Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Colma is expanding its All Saints Mausoleum with a new "Courtyard Wing" due to open early in 2003.

The new wing will include three stained glass windows which were removed during the retrofit and renovation of St. Paul's Church in San Francisco. St. Paul's pastor Father Mario Farana will dedicate the new wing upon completion.

A meticulously restored stained glass of the Sacred Heart will be the central artistic feature accompanied by stained glass representations of Jesus and Mary and the Holy Family, according to Kathy Atkinson, cemetery director. The mausoleum already has artwork acquired from other parishes in the Archdiocese includ-

ing a beautiful Pieta from the convent at Star of the Sea Parish in San Francisco.

When completed, the new wing will have 225 new crypts including private family rooms which can be gated and a small community room with companion crypts. In addition, 232 cremation niches, some traditional marble and some glass and brass will be available.

Construction will cause the closure of the road and rear entrance to the building until October 1. All Saints will remain open, but please plan to arrive early for First Saturday Mass in the Mausoleum Chapel, Additional construction is being planned at Holy Cross. Contact the cemetery at 650-323-6375 for further information.

Deacon Paul Moriarty, detention ministry leader, dies

By Tom Burke Deacon Paul Moriarty, who was renowned and respected for his work in detention and parish ministry, died August 3, from cancer. He was 58 years old and a parish deacon at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Redwood City.

Deacon Moriarty, who moved to the United Sta tes with his wife, Lorraine , from their native New Zealand , in 1977, was ordained to the diaconate for the Diocese ol Richmond , Va., in 1986.

"I don 't approach someone as a criminal but as a friend ," he is remembered as saying by Loretta Pehanich. Ms. Pehanich is director of development and public relations for the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Mateo County where the late clergyman served as Jail Chap lain/Detention Minister and where Mrs. Moriarty is executive director.

The coup le moved to California m 1989.

Together, they led the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults program (RCIA) at Our Lady of Ml. Carmel.

Deacon Moriarty 's commitment to his special work was present from the beginning. He spent "four and five nights a week" coordinating a parish-like prison ministry in Richmond , Ms. Pehanich said. She noted how he welcomed the opportunity to meet with inmates and hel p them with even the most grave of topics including suicide.

As his reasons for becoming a deacon "came directl y out of the ministry he was performing " it should be no surprise that he was ordained in a penitentiary, Ms. Pehanich said.

"I want to live in the moment, and that is a strength in working with the people I work with," Deacon Moriarty, who trained and assisted more than 60 jail ministry volun-

teers, often said. During the past year, the group, known as "Hope in Action ," visited more than 3,000 inmates in the adult prison facilities of San Mateo County. Additional elements of the outreach include support for families of inmates.

"Paul Moriarty was a pillar of the diaconate community, and he and his wife, Lorraine, have always been a great example of the deacon and his wife in ministry, " said Deacon Leon Kortenkamp, director, Office of the Diaconate for the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

"Paul's dedication to the Church through his parish ministry and his dedication to the poor and imprisoned through his St, Vincent de Paul ministry have inspired, encouraged and enabled hundreds of lay ministers to follow in his footsteps.

Paul was a loving husband, father and grandfather, and beyond that he met colleague, parishioner and prisoner the same way, as a friend. That's how I will miss him, as a friend."

Ray McKeon, director of Detention Ministry for the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and a pallbearer at the funeral , 1970, she earned a bachelor ' s degree in chemistry from called Deacon Moriarty "a man for all seasons for the inmate."

"Paul was totall y dedicated to the pli ght, cause and situaLone Mountain College , a school founded by her order and acquired by the University of San Francisco in 1978. She tion of the inmates in spite of all obstacles," Mr. McKeon said.

More than 40 deacons and their wives were in the assembly with San Francisco Union in Chicago.

During the 1970s, she served as dean of students at Auxiliary Bishop John C. Wester present in the sanctuary.

In his homily, Father Calvo called Deacon Moriarty "a Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, Bellevue, Wash.

Sister Thompson is survived by her mother, Mary gifted preacher and story teller. " During the Mass, Mrs. Frawley Thompson of Los Angeles, and four siblings , Agnes Moriarty placed a stole, made for her husband by inmates Thompson Kelly of Managua , Nicaragua; Janie Thompson of the Virginia State Penitentiary, on the casket.

In addition to Mrs. Moriarty, Deacon Moriarty is survived Kirimichiu of Playa del Rey, Calif.; and Alice Thompson by their daughter, Emma-Kate Williams, son-in-law, Eric, and Knipe and John Thompson of Newbury Park, Calif.

Capsule Film Reviews

ty and drug content , a suicide , an extramarital affair, some sexual references and recurring roug h language with some profanity . The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops classification is A-1V — adults , with reservations. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R — restricted.

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops ' Office for Film and Broadcasting.

Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat

In this vul gar film directed by David Raynr, comedian Martin Lawrence delivers raunchy standup monologues in which he blathers on about his trials and tribulations of the past few years. But mainl y it is an excuse for Lawrence lo mouth off in the most demeaning and depraved manner about sex. Explicit and deni grating sexual dialogue with nonstop roug h language. USCCB: 0 — morall y offensive. MPAA: R — restricted.

Signs

Strugg ling with loss of faith after the sudden death of his wife, an Episcopalian minister (Mel Gibson) fears for the life of his children (Rory Culkin and Abi gail Breslin) after he and his brother (Joaquin Phoenix) discover huge circular patterns in his cornfield that suggest an invasion by hostile aliens. Writer-director M. Ni ght Sh yamalan masterfull y builds dread and tension while touching upon issues of faith , but the li ghtwei ght narrative doesn ' t provide a powerful punch to match the unnerving apprehension that shapes the film. Some intensel y fri ghtening moments and occasional crass expressions. USCCB:A-II — adults and adolescents. MPAA: PG-13 — parents are strong ly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams

Enjoyable fantasy-action sequel in which a brotherand-sister spy duo (Alexa Vega, Dary l Sahara) working for the government travel to a mysterious island where they meet an eccentric scientist (Steve Buscemi) and his odd crossbred animal s before being helped in their quest to save the world by their spy parents (Antonio Bandera s, Carla Gug ino). The story in writer-director Robert Rodri guez 's zi ppy adventure film has been skimped on in favor of flash y gizmos , but the importance of famil y values and reliance on one 's smarts instead of hig h-tech gadgetry are central themes. Some mild action sequences with a few crass expressions. USCCB: A-II — adults and adolescents. MPAA: PG — parental guidance suggested.

Austin Powers in Goldmemher

Daft spy spoof in which a British secret agent (Mike Myers ) tries lo rescue his father (Michael Caine) from the clutches of an evil madman who has teamed up with a new villain (both played by M yers as well) with plans for world domination . The third installment of the series , which is written by M yers and directed by Jay Roach , rehashes the same old jokes in a muddled plot loaded with sill y sideline gags and puerile humor , but a few laug hs are scattered throug hout , including some from surprise cameos. Much sexual innuendo , some vul gar toilet humor and comicall y intended violence , fleeting rear nudity and brief crass language with an instance of profanity. USCCB: A-1II — adults. MPAA: PG-13 — parents are strong ly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Full Frontal Odd ensemble drama which connects a magazine journalist (Julia Roberts) interviewing an up-and-coming actor (Blair Underwood), a writer (David Hyde Pierce) who pens awfu l screenp lays in his spare time , his unhappy executive wife (Catherine Keener) who fires employees to relieve her marital stress , and her neurotic sister (Mary McCormack) who fears she will never find true love. Director Steven Soderberg h' s quirk y movie within a movie is witty and tedious in equal parts , with selfabsorbed characters that evoke little empathy and a story

The Master of Disguise

Dreadfull y dull comed y in which a man (Dana 5 o Carvey) who comes from a long line of hi ghl y skilled E camoufl age artists must save his kidnapped father from a O h. dastardl y thief planning to steal the world' s most precious treasures. Directed by Perry Andelin Blake and co_ i-__y written b y Carvey, the film depends solel y on Carvey 's uninsp ired mimicking abilities , dragging on interminabl y and completel y devoid of even a mildl y involving story Daryl Sahara and Alexa Vega star in "Spy Kids 2." line. Some crass expressions and humor with sporadic line that doesn 't bring its disparate pieces satisfactoril y slapstick violence. USCCB: A-II — adults and adolestogether. A shadowy sexual encounter , brief frontal nudi- cents. MPAA: PG — parental guidance suggested.
