y An unidentified U.S. sailor lies in a hospital in Aden, Yemen, Oct. 12. Seventeen U.S. sailors were killed and many others injured when a small boat apparently loaded with explosives blew up next to the guided missile destroyer USS Cole in the port of Aden.

Navy chaplain: This is not time to theologize' By Evelyn Zappia "At times like this on a shi p, there is great silence , pray ing and a lot of talk of being revengeful ," said local Nav y Chaplain Father John O'Neill , referring to the Oct. 13 attack on the U.S. Nav y destroyer Cole off the coast of Yemen that killed 17 sailors and injured 38.

At right, Bay Area Arab organizations sponsored an Oct. 14 rally and march at the San Francisco Civic Center calling for Palestinian rig hts in Israel and the Palestinian Territories as hostilities escalated there. Left, a gutted office within a synagogue in the Paris suburb of Bondy shows the devastation of an Oct. 13 fire bomb attack. Anti-Semitic violence has increased in France during recent uprisings in the Middle East.

Everyone is 'weeping in J erusalem'

(As violence erupted in the Middle East following the Sept. 28 visit of Ariel Sharon to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and escalated to the brink of war in the ensuing days , Catholic San Francisco has received numerous e-mail accounts and commentaries from Israelis , Palestinians and Americans living in Israel and the Palestinian Territory. Below is a sampling of their remarks.) "Jewish tradition tells us everyone is created in the image of God , and since we all are descended from one human being, to destroy life is like destroying the world. But unfortunatel y right now, we're in a situation where nobody is very capable of opening their hearts to the other, or empathizing with their pain in a basic human way. "There are hair-raising stories of exces- ,__,___________» sive Jewish use of force. And yet , the Palestinian use of violence, however justified their anger might be, has pushed even many moderate and progressive Israelis into the war camp. Thursday 's lynch in Ramallah (when a Palestinian mob killed two Israeli reserve soldiers who had stumbled into the city) was just the icing on the cake.... "Israel talked peace but continued with house demolitions , land expropriations and human rights violations. But at the same time, the Palestinian leadership misread the map and played a game of brinkmanshi p." - Rabbi Arik Asherman, chairman of Rabbis for Human Rights , who led a small group of Jews to northern Israel to visit both Arab and Jewish wounded , victims of riots in Haifa, Nazareth and elsewhere in Galilee. Oct. 16. "In the opening of our worship service today, one of the prayers began 'in this time when peace has broken down ,' and I realized as these words were spoken how deeply the vision of the last seven years under Oslo has skewed the world's understanding of the situation here. "Peace has not broken down in the last 10 days. The reality is we've never been at peace. Under the Oslo process, Palestinians have looked toward a day when peace would arrive, but not any peace. Not a peace built without any quality of justice in it. Day after day, year after year, they have sat at the table negotiating, while land was still being confiscated, new settlements being built , access to Jerusalem controlled , economic development stilted due to lack of control of borders , water resources depleted, and refugees still longing to return home. "What we are seeing now is the frustration and anger and disappointment that the Oslo process has brought them. This is a cry for a real peace, a just peace - - not any peace. If this cry is not heard , then I' m afraid that the anger and frustration will finally turn to hate and many more lives, Palestinian and Israeli , will be lost. It's a long road back from hate to negotiation..."

Commentary

Father Jack O'Neill

"This is not the time to theolog ize," said the former pastor of Our Lady of Loretto in Novato who holds the rank of Captain. "At a time like this there 's not much one can say." He sees the current role of chap lain for the victims and crew members as "a ministry of presence " - a support role for those who wish to speak of the incident "and need a listener." Chaplain O'Neill , who was in Beirut in 1983 when 241 U.S. military personnel were killed when their barracks was bombed , said, "The crew must be numb and bewildered by all that happened. They were conducting a routine maneuver." "I feel great sorrow for the families ," said Father O'Neill who noted that several of the injured and dead were members of minority ethnic communities. It 's a reminder that "a good number of minorities are defending our country," the priest said. Father O'Neill has been a priest for 33 years. His assignments have included 16 years as a chap lain at San Quentin Prison. For the past 20 years, he has served the Naval Reserves. Father O'Neill returned to active U.S. Navy service in Jul y 1999 and will return to the Archdiocese sometime next summer.

-Rev. Sandra Olewine, a United Methodist minister on the staff of Catholic Relief Services in Bethlehem. Oct. 8. "Yesterday night, for the first time since 1967, we closed the main gate of the monastery, and every one in the town was trying to sleep without this feeling of fear, anger, and (being) unsafe. The young people are now doing a kind of security patrols in the town during the night, to avoid the attack of the Israelis, or at least give us an alert to hide.... "Above all these things...we have a very deep and strong faith in the Almighty and his love, even though we have some questions without an answer, like: it is a holy land, so should we suffer always for living on this 'holiness'? "The dilemma is that everyone believes in God and thinks that it is hol y and should be just for him. The only common thing between 'the three faiths' is the main reason for the war... "I think for us Palestinian Christians, our love for the Hol y land is 'an open and sharing love', and from the history and our experience, no one can just dominate and control this land , without giving the others their rights , freedom and dignity. "Do you think that the Jewish people or the Muslims share it with us? I think that their love for Jerusalem is a 'possessive love.'" - Father Iyad Twal, parish priest in Bier Zeit, Palestine. Oct. 10. "Every funeral breeds avengers, every grave deepens the hatred , causing more casualties. The ordinary, nonlethal means of riot control , that do not cause escalation , would have been more useful . JERUSALEM, page 13

It's true , we're waiting for the moment when Israel will say yes to Christ, but we also know that , throughout the course of

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Modern threats to the family include government-sponsored sterilization programs , widespread poverty and a cultural devaluation of maternity, speakers told a Vatican-sponsored International Theological-Pastoral Congress on children and family life.

Dominus Iesus'

Cardinal Ratz inger 'saddened ' by reaction to document

By Cindy Wooden VATICAN CITY (CNS) — If the tone of the Vatican's recent document on salvation in Christ was problematic , it "should be explained , not despised," said Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation. The cardinal , responding to criticism of the congregation 's September declaration , "Dominus Iesus," said it was written becau se Pope John Paul II "wanted to offer the world a great and solemn recognition of Jesus Christ as Lord at the culminating moment of the Holy Year." "I want to express my sadness and disappointment that public reactions , with some praiseworthy exceptions , have completel y ignored the true theme of the declaration ," the cardinal said in an interview published Oct. 8 by L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper. The interview , translated into Italian by the newspaper and run over two full pages, was conducted by the German dail y, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung . Cardinal Ratzinger said the truth about salvation in Christ and through the Church is important because "today, in general conversations, faith in Christ risks being flattened and dispersed , becoming chatter." "The document is meant to be an inv itation to all Christians to open themselves again to the recognition of Jesus Christ as Lord and, in that way, to give the Holy Year a profound significance," he said.

'.. .faith in Christ risks being flattened and dispersed , becoming chatter' Cardinal Ratzinger said he agreed with some Catholic bishops who said much of the negative reaction to the document is "a problem of communication because classical doctrinal language, like that used in our document for continuity with the texts of the Second Vatican Council, is completely different f rom that of newspapers and the media." "But in that case," he said, "the text should be explained , not despised." The cardinal said the document was not against ecumenism. The theological dialogue aimed at Christian unity is not like a political negotiation, he said. P R E P A R I N G YOUNG WOMEN FOR LIFE SINCE 1923

We love you!" Over the last three years. Fide Christo has sponsored and promoted "Fortnight of Prayer" to do this very thing. Join Us.

Cardinal Ratzinger said it made no sense to assert that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the "only ecclesial fragments exist and one must search for Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, addresses the best pieces" among the various Christian denominaa press conference in Menlo Park on Feb. 12, 1999. tions.

Father Peter Sammon (left ) visits with Patrick Ikeda of the SEIU Local 790 during a getting-toknow-you break at 8A0C meeting.

Catholic parishes help spearhead emerging BAOC By Dan Morris-Young With strong backing from Catholic parishes , the Bay Area Organization Committee (BAOC) at an Oct. 12 convocation began to muscle up for future civic and political battles on behalf of affordable housing, educational opportunities , improved wages, and recognition of cultu ral and racial diversity. Addressing nearly 200 religious , labor and community leaders gathered at St. Mark 's Lutheran Church in San Francisco, Auxiliary Bishop John Wester said carry ing

out advocacy on behalf of those in need was "doing God's work". The bishop also announced that the broad-based community-action organization has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the national Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Focus of the meeting was to recruit new dues-paying members to BAOC, explained Salesian Father David Purd y, pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish. He was co-chair of the Oct. 12 meeting with the Rev. Elizabeth Ekdale , co-pastor of St. Mark Lutheran , and Father Roberto "Obet" Andrey of St.

Augustine Parish , South San Francisco. The priest told Catholic San Francisco he hoped the convocation would become part of a "groundswell of power " to face social issues from housing to education. During the session six new congregations publicl y announced the decision to become dues-pay ing BAOC members bringing that total to a dozen, 11 of which are Catholic parishes. Five of the six new BAOC dues-pay ing ¦ members were Catholic congregations — Sts. Peter and Paul , Old St. Mary 's, Holy Name, all San Francisco; Our Lady of the Pillar , Half Moon Bay; and St. Gregory, San Mateo. The sixth was St. Paulus Lutheran , San Francisco. Annual dues are $5,000. Twenty-nine congregations representing eight different denominations were represented at the meeting in addition to seven labor organizations. A dozen of them indicated strong interest in officially joining BAOC in the near future . BAOC organizers have set a goal of "25 religious congregations , plus labor unions and other organizations by January and a dues base of $100,000," commented Father

Father Sammon said a "hi gh point " of the convocation "was the opportunity for attendees to interact with one another." Twenty minutes was set aside for persons to "talk with someone they had not met before ," he explained. Participants also heard from persons whose plights embodied issues the BAOC has and will address , according to Larry Gordon of the BAOC staff. Jackie Nunn , a long-time resident of Potrero Hill and a member of St. Teresa Parish , spoke about her recent experience of having to move because the building in which she was living with her disabled son was sold.

Mercy Center in Burlingame addresses the problem of aging from a new perspective in its first-time retreat for elders Nov. 5-8, according to a news release. "Soul Work in the Second Half of Life " will offer the opportunity to examine "successful aging" as a time to exercise spiritual muscles , retreat planners said. Space is limited. The retreat will be given by Drew Leder, professor of Western and Eastern philosoph y at Loyola College in Baltimore. Cost is $260 ($230 for commuters). For information call Sandi Peters at (650) 340-7486 or email Sandi@Mercy-center.org. Leder, author of Spiritual Passages , will assist participants to search out the gifts of age drawn from the wisdom of the world' s religious traditions. "The world's religions share a common testimony: that with age we can become sage," he says.

Sandi Peters , the program organizer, is articulate about the need for the program. "Peop le do not understand that aging is a whole other experience of living," she says. "We're floundering. Our society doesn 't have structures for this , so we have to invent a role for ourselves as elders . And there is a new breed of old person who is not so reverential of hierarchy, who thinks inde pendentl y." The retreat , part of Mercy Center 's focus on spirituality and aging, is designed specifical l y for elders and for those who work with them , Peters said. The retreat will be cosponsored by the Center for Gerontology, Spirituality, and Faith at Sunnyview Lutheran Home in Cupertino; and the San Francisco Ministry to Nursing Homes.

'Greatest day of life ' Two have surprise meeting with Pope

Holy Year pilgrimage inspires local parishioners A Jubilee Year Pilgrimage , sponsored by the Archdiocese and coordinated by Peck Judah Travel, had Rome and Assisi as primary pilgrimage sites in an early October trip. Led by Archbishop William J. Levada and Auxiliary Bishop John C. Wester, more than 70 pilgrims visited holy sites, participated in liturgies and did some sight-seeing in the ancient city of Rome and the medieval towns of Assisi and Perugia in central Italy between Oct. 3-9Highlights of the pilgrimage trip included a papal audience, Mass at St. Peter 's Basilica, the Oct. 8 Jubilee Mass for Bishops in St. Peter 's Square and visits to religious and historical sites. An additional highlight for nearly all die pilgrims was attending the Oct. 5 ordination to the transitional diaconate of Rev. Mr. Steven Lopes at the Altar of the Chair of St. Peter by Cardinal James Francis Stafford , prefect of the Pontifical Council for the Laity. The following day the San Francisco seminarian delivered a homily at a special Mass celebrated with many of the pilgrims at North American College in Rome where he is studying for the priesthood. A smaller number of pilgrims had visited sites in Germany the week before traveling to Rome. The final part of the pilgrimage, a visit to the Holy Land, was cancelled due to violence in the Mid-East.

PopeJohn Paul II greets Julia Areujo (left) and Irene Arruda. ÂŚ

By Maury Healy

The morning of Oct. 4 did not begin well for Julia Araujo , 78, and her younger sister Irene Arruda, 74, members of the recent Archdiocesan Jubilee Year Pilgrimage visiting Rome, but before the sun set on the Vatican, Julia would describe it as "the greatest day of my life. " As the day began, however, Irene, who lives in Sacramento, was ill and Julia, a member of St. Gregory Parish in San Mateo, was caring for her sister at the pilgrimage group 's hotel. This caused the two women to miss the tour bus deparmre for St. Peter 's Basilica, where San Francisco's Archbishop William J. Levada was to celebrate Mass and the group was to later attend a large audience with Pope John Paul II. When Irene 's asthma attack abated, the two women were determined to go to the audience with the Pope. They caught a taxi to St. Peter 's Square. There they began to look for the San Francisco pilgrimage group among the thousands of people gathered for the papal audience. "We said to ourselves, San Francisco is important so we began to look toward the front seating," said Julia. The San Francisco group was actually somewhere in the middle of the throng. However, as the pair was making their way

toward where the Pope would sit, San Francisco Auxiliary Bishop John Wester noticed diem as they walked near the seating area for bishops. He found the two Portuguese natives a place to sit near the front of the crowd. Archbishop Levada, who earlier in the day had noticed that the two women were missing from the pilgrimage group visiting St. Peter's Basilica and had gone back to the hotel to look for them, was amazed to find Julia and Irene suddenly appear before Ms eyes. Upon seeing the diirhnutive women who captured the hearts of everyone on the pilgrimage, the Archbishop knew exactly what he was going to do with the two tickets he had in his pocket for the papal reception , which would follow the formal audience. He gave them to Julia and Irene and with die tickets held tiglidy in their hands, the women were escorted to the receiving line where they waited patientlyuntil it was their turn to receive the blessing of Pope John Paul as they clutched his hand. Everyone on the Archdiocesan Pilgrimage later shared the women 's joy and happiness at their surprise meeting with the Pope. For these two women, who both experienced the death of their spouses in the past year, a day that had begun so poorly turned out to be one of small miracles.

CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO Gaza — searing memories f r om ground zero for hate Among the searing memories of the near-month I spent in Israel and the Palestinian Territories last DecemberJanuary are those of Gaza —which is totally surrounded by barbed wire and other similar fencing. A few of the mental snapshots: • Hundreds and hundreds of men being funneled in and out of Gaza through tall cement corridors — under guard and susceptible to search and interrogation by the Israeli Defense Forces. The thick cement walls were like chutes for human cattle. Returning from work in the evenings, they went through the same demeaning process. • Touring a jammed medical clinic supported in part by Catholic Relief Services. Young mothers were willing to wait patientl y for long periods of time to have their children seen by the doctor or nurses. Health care, housing, work, water and space are at a premium in Gaza which is populated by 1.2 million Palestinians. • Looks of barely disguised disgust on the faces of those courageous enough to criticize the present "government" under the Palestinian Authority. They spoke only "off the record ." Later I asked my Catholic Relief Services hosts if there might not be fertile ground in Gaza for emergence of "organizations" more sympathetic to violence than even the Palestinian Authority. They did not say no. Gaza still haunts me, even more than similar scenes and examples of the oppression under which Arabs live throughout much of Israel and the Palestinian Territories. One observer there called Gaza "the world's largest prison". It is hard to disagree. Returning home, I said to many, "That place is going to blow. It just has to. More than half the population is under 15 years old. There is little work. No sense of liberty or hope or a better future . The anger and despair are palpable." It was not a sophisticated political analysis, but rather an easy and painful conclusion based on raw reality. And the reality in Gaza is raw, as it is in much of the area currentl y being torn by unleashed hate from Palestinians and Jews alike. A couple of other ground-level observations: • The perceived control' over the Palestinian populations by the Palestinian Authority and its Yasser Arafat is as much wishful thinking on the parts of many — in the U.S., the Israeli government and the PA itself — as it is reality. Despite the dominant impression provided by United States ' news organizations, the PA no longer compels the loyalty and respect of the Palestinian people across the board. Calls for Arafat to rein in "his people " at times border on the tragi-comic. • Is it not ironic that Palestinians are herded into quasighettos and kept there by force by people whose history should tell them clearly what it is like to live under a government that oppresses you because of who you are? When you are watching television reports and reading newspaper accounts, keep in mind there are aspects of the cauldron called the Holy Land that are vastly underreported. And if you are ever in that area, Catholic Relief Services can provide a look around that is radically different than one receives from air-conditioned tour buses. DMY

Research: good and sad

I must app laud you for having Jeffrey Burns (Sept. 29 , "Overcoming hardshi ps, Chinese Catholics enrich local Church") do such extensive research on Chinese Catholics in the San Francisco area, but I am sad to learn anti-Chinese sentiments were so strong within the Church in the 1800s and well into the 1900s. It boggles my mind. Being a Christian , you are supposed to embrace all races of the earth . How then did these missionaries or so-called devout Catholics denounce a people other than their own race? This brings back memories of my hi gh school day s when a nun , while teaching Bible class, spoke disdainfull y against the Chinese who at the time were fi ghting with the Koreans against the United States. Where is the love that Jesus taug ht in his Sermon on the Mount? i If the Vatican reall y wants to embrace the Chinese government , I think the Pope should never have chosen Oct. 1, China 's National Day, to hold the Chinese canonizations.

I write regarding the California Catholic bishops ' commentary on Proposition 38 (Catholic San Francisco, Sept. 29). From 1969 to 1995 I was education director for the California Catholic Conference.

Three great truths

On BeinvCatholic «_»

Is the stadium large enough? In just over a week we celebrate our Jubilee Eucharist in Pacific Bell Park. Forty-thousand people gathered around one eucharistic table seems like a lot , but it is onl y the tip of the iceberg. There are at least 425,000 Catholics in the Archdiocese, which means that we can look on our ballpark liturgy as a "tithe" — 10 percent of our local Church will participate in this event. Those taking part represent their fellow parishioners, friends and families back home. Every celebration of the Eucharist links together the communities which make up each parish, and the community of parishes which make up our local Church gathered around its bishop, the successor of the Apostles in our midst. Bishops and representatives from other dioceses will join us, together with Cardinal Schotte from Rome and Cardinal Sandoval from Guadalajara. Their presence is not for the sake of pageantry. They remind us that the Eucharist unites us with the communion of churches throughout the world which make up the one Catholic Church. In every Mass we commemorate by name the Pope, who as successor of St. Peter is the head of the college of bishops and pastor of the worldwide Church. The Eucharist thus unites us with the more than 1 billion Catholics throug hout the world. We gather as a people who profess faith in Christ and who have been plunged into the mystery of his death and resurrection through baptism. This faith unites us with all Christians beyond the visible limits of the Catholic Church. Significant differences in the meaning of that faith prevent us from sharing eucharistic communion with other Christians, but the sad awareness of that wound should challenges us to recognize the real but imperfect communion which exists among all

This is the marvelous communion with Christ which creates our communion with one another: parishes a communion of families and individuals , the diocese a communion of parishes, die one Church a communion of local churches, the one human family a communion in the crucified and risen Christ. Each and every human being who ever has lived or ever will live is somehow part of this communion. Indeed, it touches the whole created universe, whose limits still elude our probing. Our gathering at Pacific Bell Park Oct. 28, when viewed with the eyes of faith , allows us a glimpse of this mystery, and points us to a mystery deeper still, the mystery at the heart of creation and beyond creation : the communion of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God. Not simply a loving God, but a God who is Love, whose very Being is Communion. Truly, this is an event nothing short of miraculous. I hope you can be there for it — but if not, do not worry: the same miracle happens every time we celebrate the Eucharist.

Father Milton T. Walsh

Cardinal Juan Sandoval

Cardinal Jan Pieter Schotte

Christians. Our gathering makes present the one Bod y of Christ which is made up of all the baptized. We are united to one another because we are united to Jesus Christ, crucified and risen. Our union with him also unites us with all who have gone before us "marked by the sign of faith" as the Roman Canon describes them: our deceased family members and friends , and the saints of every age. And all believers yet to be born are mystically present, for all are in Christ, whose resurrection has broken through the constraints of time and space. Jesus Christ is the Son eternally begotten of a Father without a mother, bom in time of a mother without a father. It is his Incarnation which we celebrate in this Jubilee, the event by which he irrevocably united himself with every human being. Jesus reminded us of his union with every human being when he taught that "whenever you did it for the least of these, you did it for me." Christ in our midst in the Eucharistic celebration gathers the whole human race together; they are all present with us at our liturgy.

Jerusalem . . . ¦ Continued from page 3 "The way of thinking of the generals , those who planned the operation and those who command it , arouses sad reflections. Once we had commanders of moral convictions , like Yitzhaq Sadeh and Shimon Avidan , and sophisticated generals, like Yigal Allon and Moshe Dayan. "Within one generation we have acquired generals who resemble their worst American and Russian counterparts , generals who believe in brute force. Those have been beaten everywhere, from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Ours were beaten in Lebanon , and they go on. "The use of attack helicopters and missiles is courting disaster.

"The mood is so different this time . People are just fed up. Fed up with Israel 's aggression , with the Palestinian Authority 's corruption , with the shameless peace agreements that have turned this place into an apartheid state — a bantustan — a West Bank divided into 200 isolated islands ... of a silent world that doesn 't give a damn ... just because we are Arabs." - Muna Hamzeh-Muhaisen , Deheishe Refugee Camp. Oct. 5. "I have the feeling that whatever happens tomorrow night (Oct. 11) or the next day — whether Israel opens an all-out assault on the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories or whether international pressure forestalls it—all the old frameworks, ideologies and relationshi ps have been demolished. ' Both the Oslo peace process and the myth of a state that is both Jewish and democratic are gone. I don 't know what 's going to replace them , and the struggle and bloodshed is far from over, but the old frameworks are shattered and can never be put together again. "It falls to Israeli intellectuals to help formulate alternatives to traditional Zionism, occupation and domination so

as to offer alternatives to the Israeli Jewish public. "As an Israeli I do not fear alternatives such as a bi-national state, something that will permit everyone to live wherever he or she wants in the entire Land of Israel/Palestine. Israeli society, culture and economy are strong enough to survive and even thrive as an integral part of a larger political entity." - Dr. Jeff Halper, a Jewish Israeli who works frequently with CRS near Bethlehem. Oct. 10. "Today at 16:30 Jerusalem time , the Heads of Churches have called for an ecumenical prayer service to be held at St. Stephen 's Dominican Church in Jerusalem. Now is the time to believe in the efficacy of prayer. "Pray for all the families - Palestinian and Israeli - who are mourning the death of their loved ones. Pray for the safety of the soldiers in prison. Pray for the innocent Palestinians who will doubtless be made to pay the price . Pray for the end of political rhetoric and for a movement towards a just and lasting peace. Pray for thoughtful and bold leadership from both sides that move us away from the brink of an increasing cycle of bloodletting." - Rev. Sandra Olewine, Oct. 12.

The way, the truth, and the desert As I look back on the past year, I realize I have been wandering through a "desert." None of the events for which I was hoping has come to pass. What 's more, as October of last year began, I had no idea of the spiritual heartache that would visit me and my little famil y. Among other things , last October I expected I would be holding my second tiny baby by this time. However, that blessing remains a cherished dream . Last year at this time, I felt positive that an ill family member would be completely recovered by now. He isn 't, and walking with him through this time has been a huge challenge. Ministering to the sick is not one of my strengths, apparently. It seems I might have had too much of that sort of thing as a child , when my mother was ill and eventually died. Therefore , my "desert experience'" includes the revelation and admission I am not as compassionate, or even as whole, as I thought. As trivial as this might sound, my hair is symbolic of the past year 's "lost time". This time last year, I had every intention of growing it long again. Even that was "cut away" from me when I went in for a new style and departed with only a couple of inches of tresses. Today it is even shorter than it was last October, which captures how I feel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like I haven 't even main-

QUESTION J CQBMER C2- Because my mother is seriously ill , I' ve been attending parish ceremonies of what we used to call extreme unction. Several peop le receive this sacrament who don ' t look sick at all. The liturgy of the anointing of the sick is beautiful and comforting for our family. But isn ' t it required anymore to be in danger of death to receive it? (Pennsylvania) A. The sacrament for the sick has undergone signifi-

tained my ground; I've gone back ward in some respects. I am taking an Old Testament course through the Archdiocese's School of Pastoral Leadership. We are studying the "desert experience" Of the Israelites after Moses led them from slavery into the desert. There they stayed for 40 years, wandering around , learning to trust in God and beginning to form one "people" out of a combination of tribes. They emerged chastened, more whole, and stronger as God's people. However, presumably plenty among them were born and died "in the desert " without ever having experienced a different life. Jesus also had a desert experience. Before launching his public ministry, Jesus spent 40 days in the desert where the devil tempted him. Being fully human, Jesus suffered hunger, thirst, and possibly everything else I have experienced in my desert, such as loneliness, fear, disillusionmen t, and confusion. He, as also fully God, emerged the perfect human he had been from the beginning. Of course, I am falling far short of this. However, the examples of Jesus and the Israelites provide insight and companionship. Now that I recognize I am in a desert of "lost time" and searching for truth , I can practice acceptance, and

even gratitude , because I anticipate a beautiful horizon. What 's more, I think I may have nearly comp leted this desert journey (dare I Kamille Maher say so?). I had the impression that if I ordered my desires to those pleasing to God , I would get my way. The desert has taught me otherwsie. Now I see that I cannot expect a baby when I want one, or the good health of my loved ones, or even my long hair. These require patience and continued prayer for God 's blessings. Even hair is a gift not to be taken tor granted. The glaring desert sun has finally revealed the landscape of my spiritual wanderings. The next step is to learn to take the hand of Jesus, who knows the desert and can show me the way.

Kamille Maher is a member of St. John of God Parish, San Francisco , and a member of the Catholic San Francisco editorial team.

Anointing of the sick: for whom is it intended? cant development during the past 60 years or so. The Vatican Council II document on the sacred liturgy recognized this when it said, "The anointing of the sick (the official name today) is a sacrament not onl y for those who are in danger of death." Thus , while it is for the sick, it is by no means exclusively for the dying. In the Scripture passage that forms one of the main bases for this sacrament , St. James says: "Is anyone sick among you? Let him ask for the elders of the Church. They will pray over him and anoint him in the name of the Lord" (Jas 5:14). To receive the sacrament of anointing, therefore , an individual need not be in danger of death, but "dangerously ill" either from sickness or advanced age. Older people are considered eligible simply because of the general infirmities of advanced age, even if they at present suffer no specific illness.

In their guidelines for this sacrament , the American bishops observe that "sickness is more than a medical phenomenon. Sickness is a crisis situation in the life of a Christian as regards salvation , life with Christ in the community of the Church. " Anointing of the sick, then , may be ministered to peop le suffering from various kinds of p hysical, spiritual or emotional crises. The ritual for anointing mentions several specific circumstances in which people should be anointed , such as old age, before serious surgery and sick childre n who have sufficient use of reason to be comforted by this sacrament.

It is the residential facility for senior women operated by St. Anthony Foundation in San Francisco 's Tenderloin. (See Catholic San Francisco 's Sept. 22 edition.) Friday morning, Sept. 22, disp layed a cold , gray sky. Cars blurred by with an occasional, road-rage horn pounded. Area "visitors" and residents mingled about. And in the midst of all of this, the choir sang from the heart the prayer of St. Francis; Bishop Wester presided over the ritual of blessing; Mercy Sister Patrick Curran , the C.E.O. of St. Anthony Foundation , confessed that she and the staff felt blessed by God because they were allowed to serve the residents of this area. It made me realize again how royally we have been served to produce servants like these. Sunday 's readings make us a part of this process. One of the favorite Old Testament passages of the early Church serves as our first reading. You will recall that the first generations of Christians , who had no written New Testament, listened to the Old Testament in the light of their new faith in Jesus as Lord . These passages, like our one from Isaiah, took on new meaning in Christian ears and hearts. Thus , we hear of a servant of the Lord : "The Lord was pleased to crush him in infirmity. . . . Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; through his suffering my servant shall justif y many, and their guilt he shall bear." A change of view for the Old Testament, this passage sees suffering not as the curse it was considered , but as an opportunity for the servant named in it to take away the guilt of others and to taste life for doing so. When we hear Jesus proclaimed in this passage, we know we can assemble in his name precisel y and only because his suffering has removed the division of our sin and guilt , and he has been ' raised to vindicated life.

Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Isaiah 53:10-11; Psalm 33; Hebrews 4: 14-16; Mark 10:35-45

Father David M. Pettingill Indeed this Jesus has realized the purpose of the Day of Atonement. Unlike the high priest who entered the hol y of holies of the Jerusalem temple each year, Jesus has once and for all entered the heavenly sanctuary, one of us with the journey we must all make completed by him. Hebrews eloquentl y celebrates this atonement: "Since we have a high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus , the Son of God , let us hold fast to our confession. From what he has suffered , this high priest knows what we go through: "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin." Mark has Jesus proclai m to misunderstanding disciples that as Son of Man he "did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."Yes, Jesus has come to live out the vulnerability at God's heart

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

Mission Sunday, Oct , 22

Dear Friends in Christ, '' 5°*~" World Mission Sunday will be celebrated during this Jubilee Year on Oct. 22 with the theme, "Jesus Christ, the One Savior of the World." Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical letter The Mission of the Redeemer , noted: "World Mission Sunday is an important date in the life of the Church, because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the eucharistic celebration and for all the missions of the world." On World Mission Sunday, each of us is asked to take our part in the Church's work of evangelization. We can do this, first and foremost, through prayer and through our participation in the Eucharist. "It is from the Eucharist," our Holy Father notes, "that the Church and every believer draw the indispensable strength to proclaim and bear witness before all to the Gospel of salvation." Through the Propagation of the Faith, we can also offer our financial support to the missionary efforts of the Church. The Mission Sunday collection provides us an opportunity to express our faith in Christ and in his Mystical Body, the Church. This collection is also a practical necessity if the work of the Church in the developing world, and the proclamation of the Gospel among two-thirds of our human family are to be carried out. The missionary work of the Church depends on each one of us. Please be generous in this collection on Mission Sunday and pray daily that all of us in this Archdiocese may be renewed in this Jubilee Year in our witness for Jesus Christ , the one Savior of the world.

Vincentians... ¦ Continued from page 8 Carmel,Redwood City; Rose Marie Sickle and Beatrice Weiss of St. Timothy, San Mateo; and Genie Slakmon of Our Lady of Angels, Burlingame. In related news, Deborah Payne, a member of Our Lady of Angels Parish , Burlingame, and the national chair of the Voice of the Poor Committee for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, represented the SVdP Archdiocesan Council at the annual convention of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Milwaukee Sept. 26-30. "The meeting set our hearts on fire with the spirit of Frederic Ozanam," she said. Meeting with Vincentians from all over the United States , participants "grew in solidarity" as they studied Catholic social teaching, she said. "We have similar concerns regardless of where we live." National president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Gene Smith and his wife Nina live in San Rafael. "More than 1,000 Vincentians came together in Milwaukee to celebrate and work together on behalf of our great Society and for people who are poor," Gene Smith said. Pehanich also attended the Milwaukee gathering as did Joseph Pulsoni, youth coordinator and homeless help center coordinator for SVdP in San Mateo and a parishioner at St. Gregory. "You do get a touch of fire that you want to bring back," Pulsoni said. "You see the whole Vincentian family and it's so much bigger than our specific work here in the Bay Area."

because God has fallen in love with us and will serve our every need. That is why the Zebedee boys ' request of Jesus makes no sense: "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left." Jesus can only reply to them with words about "cup " and "baptism ," his and ours. Like Jesus, we have been baptized; like Jesus, we drink the cup. Both Church actions of initiation and Eucharist put us in contact with the empowering servantdeath of Jesus and coach out of us the performance of servant-disciples. "You know that those who we recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them , and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all." I was so moved to see the servant-Church in action at Madonna House: the mutual self-donation of residents and staff making up for less glorious Church moments when we chose to be served , to exploit , and violate human ri ghts. Sobered by our checkered Catholic history, it is onl y the experience of Sunday assembly and an attempt to live the servant-life that keeps us away from violating Jesus' precept , "It shall not be so among you."

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Ever want to know how many peop le fit into St. Peter 's The Incredible Book of Vatican Facts and Papal Curiosities: A Treasury of Trivia , by Nino Lo Bello, Liguori Publications (Liguori , Mo.), 235 pp., $14. Reviewed by Evelyn Zappia Ever wonder why the Pietd , the beautiful sculpture of Mary holding Jesus in her arms just after his crucifixion, is the onl y sculpture Michelangelo signed, or why he painted some poor soul naked and gave him donkey ears on his great masterpiece the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel? The Incredible Book of Vatican Facts and Papal Curiosities by Nino Lo Bello has hundreds more little-know n facts about the Vatican and papacy. Lo Bello, a Catholic, has been stockpiling Vatican trivia since publishing his first book, The Vatican Empire, some 32 years ago. He calls his trivia "Vatican curioddities" which comprise such questions as: Does the pope have a bank account? Which

recent pope frequently talked in his sleep? Who was the only pope who __, was blind during most of his papacy ? Who Ck designed the Swiss W ' Guard unifonns? The "curioddities " are l like potato chips; it's difficult to just read one and leave the rest for later. For example, I had never been curious about how many peo- \ ' pie could fit inside the dome * of St. Peter 's, yet I could not resist reading the answer. I've learned answers to questions that , most-likely, will never be asked of me: How many dogs reside in Vatican City? How many windows are there in the papal residence? What is the optical illusion in St. Peter 's Square? There are hundreds of facts that are worth knowing such as, what happens to

mistake by Michelangelo in the desi gn of St. Peter 's going to be fixed? Why has onl y one pope written a cookbook? Does any of the staff know St. Peter 's ori ginal name? ( I do)! And why hasn 't John Paul II used the bowling alley that Pope John XXIII put in for Vatican use? So, why was the Pietd the only sculpture signed by Michelangelo? Answer: Vanity (short-version). Why did he paint donkey ears? Answer: Revenge (shortversion).

a man when he becomes pope and how is a pope reall y { elected? | Bello 's "curioddities " encompass the Apostles to l\\ zucchetto (no, not somevA thing Italians cook) and vA provide hours of fun — $\\ especiall y for trivia T\\ H huffs whether they are ^ V\\ Catholic or not.

Letters... ¦ Continued from page 12 have a sound grounding in theology which allows them to recognize the nature of contradiction — that is, paradox. They understand that our God constantl y forgives us for breaking his rules and continues loving us in spite of our sinfulness . This , then is a paradox. Father Rohr reminded his listeners that our Catholic faith is based on three great truths which are paradoxical — that there are three persons in God, that Jesus was both human and divine , and that Mary was both virgin and mother. Lorraine Burtscher Foster City

Not an issue; it 's life

Dominic Intravia states, "I cannot have one issue control my vote. I'll go Democratic and be happy" (Letters, Oct 13). Is your "one issue voting " a matter of party loyalty based on what the Democratic party used to stand for but now onl y pays li p service to? What decisions of Justices Thomas and Scalia do you find fault with? Perhaps only on one issue, pro life? What issues do you find more important than the right to life of an innocent unborn child? R. Lillis San Francisco

I suppose the Roman Catholic Church has the right to define (for usage within their p iety) what constitu tes a Christian church , and who may be a martyr when they die for their faith — even when the narrow definitions disagree with dictionaries. However, the editor 's note in the Oct. 13 Catholic San Francisco regarding the abbreviation B.C.E. is wrong. B.C.E. does not stand for "Before Christian Era ." B.C.E. is used worldwide in conjunction with the Gregorian Calendar by non-Christians (and many Christians) and means "Before Common Era." I suggest you use your dictionary. Your brother in Christ (whether you believe it or not) , W.H. Marshall (a Lutheran Christian) San Mateo Ed. note: Reader Marshall as well as the following letters are correct. B.C.E. stands for "Before the Common Era "

While the theological view of Rev. Neuhaus on the theological basis for the publication of Dominus lesus by the Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith is worthy of consideration , the Oct. 2 views of the not-so-Rev. George Weigel considering its political effects are not. Theologically inflected thought has a way of inducing unfortunate consequences. A restatement of the undisputed proposition that the Catholic Church is the one true Church is a political blunder which undoes two generations of ecumenical efforts to establish good will between Catholics and other faiths.

It is this very reason that I find myself returning after all these years. I, like many pro-choice people, believe that it is sad and trag ic th at women in crisis pregnancies feel abortion is the onl y viable option they have. In my experience, the fear of raising a child alone and/or in impoverished circumstances is the primary reason women make this choice. Making abortion illegal , however, would not improve the situation — as we know from history, criminalizing the things we find objectionable does not make them go away. If anything, it often causes them to thrive and then comRegarding Kathleen Farrell's Oct. 13 pound the misery of those affected.

In my opinion , both the pro-life and Heritage Dictionary of the Eng lish Language , defines B.C.E. as "Before the pro-choice movement s have failed in many Common Era," not "Before the Christian ways to serve the needs of women. Many pro-lifers, for all their talk of protecting Era," as you stated. I have seen this term used in museums, innocent babies and vulnerable women, textbooks, etc., and the definition is always often seem to regard crisis pregnancies as the same. If, as you state, regular news just punishment for sexual activity outside columns still use the B.C. term, it is likely the confines of marriage.

faiths it is not tacticall y sound to commence by declaring that the non-believer is wrong and that Catholics are always right. Cardinal Edward Cassidy of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity is quoted in the press saying the declaration at this time was "inopportune. " Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles and Archbishop Alex Brunett of Seattle are both on record as saying the declaration at this time does not fu rther mutual understanding or respect. Dominus lesus harks back lo my grade school days in the 30s when the good nun s told us third graders we should not go to the YMCA because it was Protestant, and that we should avoid attending weddings or funerals in Protestant churches.
