Vatican Studies Changes In Sacrament Rites VATICAN (NC)-Without any thought of ending private individual confession of sins, t~e Vatican is reportedly conducting a general review of sacramental rules-including those' for Pe~­ ance.

Sources say that a re-examination of Catholicism's penitential laws with a view to possible updating because of modern moral problems is currently underway.

The idea is to determine whether to keep on the Church's

,,

law books-which Canon lawyers call external forum-penalties for matters that belong by their nature to the "internal forum" or conscience.

Examples of penalties under Vatican study are those placed on Catholics involved in an invalid marriage and Catholics aiding an abortion. .

Prompted by news dispatches from. Rome stating that private confession might become obsolete and that Pop!'! Paul has asked the world's bishops to study that recommendation, the 'chief

Renews Aid For Project Equality Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, met Monday with Launbural W. Spriggs, executive director of the New England Region of Project Equality, and Rev. John F. Hogan, diocesan coordinator -for Project Equality, to reaffirm the Diocese's participation in the program.

The program aims at maintaining and promoting employment practices fair to minority groups.

The Diocese would aid the project in seeking to improve hiring and promotion practices on the part' of employets and to encourage religious organizations to "purchase materials and services only from cooperating firms..

"This program, an ecumenical venture involving all of the major religious groups in the State of Massachusetts, puts the Church's material resources to work in the fight against discriminatory employment practices," Father Hogan explained.

'Fellowship of Holy 'Spirit' Theme of 1971 Unity Week Begun years ago as a way to bring "separated" Christians closer together, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is being observed this year from Jan. 18-25 as a time for prayer and reconciliation between Christians who feel set apart from others within their own faith by color, age, politics or wealth.

The annual event was started more than 60 years ago through the "d~sire of Christians to enter' into deepening communion with one another." ,"In 1971 it is evident that this communion has not only not been fully achieved but that new tensions have arisen. Christians find that problems dividing them are no longer exclusively confessional but 'include rate, age, political views and economic class.

That appraisal was provided in a message issued by the Protestant and Catholic sponsors of the Unity Week observance: the National Council of Churches' Commission on Faith and Order,

in, collaboration with the World Council of Churches" Commission 6n Faith and Order, and the Graymoor Ecumenical Institute.

The Greater Fall River Council of Churches is holding an interfaith service on Sunday evening, Jan. 24, at 7 P.M. at the FiI:st Baptist Church on North Main St., corner of Pine. Entitled "Celebration of Christia,n Unity," the service will have a broad appeal for both youth and their elders.

The service will feature a varied approach with a procession with banners, traditional hymns, audio-visual presentation, folk hymns and a candle service.

Clergy of various denominations will participate in their sanctuary or pulpit robes. Youth groups will take an ac~ive part in the program.

The celebration has been recommended by the Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and InterTum to Page Two

' "It isn't like the flash flood a year or so ago when food and clothing were needed," explained Msgr. Thomas B. Finn, director of Covington diocese' social service agency.

Covington Bishop Richard H. Ackerman, 11owever, sent an undisclosed amount of' diocesan money here to help where needed. Local parishes, too, have voluntarily taken up collections to be used by, families of the deceased.

In an open letter to parishioners, Bishop Ackerman wrote that the entire diocese mourns.

Advises' More' Communicating, 'l'ess Proclaiming NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Communications in the field of education is close to a'nother breakthrough, and the Church should get ready so it can proclaim the Gospel in modern, meaningful' terms.

That's what Father Agnellus Andrew, president of the International Catholic Association for Radio and Television, told delegates at the association's audiovisual conference at Loyola University here. ' "The Church in the pa'st few hundred years has done' to'o much proclaiming and not enough communicating," said the FranCiscan from England who for many years worked in Catholic religious programs for the British Broadcasting Company.

"This has come at a point at which communications becomes more difficult both in the Church and from without."

Console Center He spoke' to a conference called NUNTEC I, which met to explore new ideas in the fastmoving field of electronic education. It was sponsored by UNDA and Loyola's communications department. NUNTEC-for "nun" and "technical"-stands for Religious Sisters in education fields and the possibilities that the new electronic technologies afford them. UNDA 'is the Latin word for wave.

Father Andrew said that education has progressed from the "one teacher, one blackboard stage" to the point where it is utilizing video taped cable television and satellite TV. "In the next 10 years," he

CHILDREN OF FALL RIVER PARISH EXCITED AT BISHOP'S VISIT: Teddy Tolan brought The Anchor to Bishop Cronin's visit to the Immaculate Connception Parish and went home with his' new Bishop's autograph on the photo. Waiting to meet the Ordinary of the Diocese

A!iks Officicil's Trade Places With Poor CONCEPCION (NC) - Bishop Juan Carlos Ferro and 20. of his Argentinian priests have challenged the public servants of the community to put themselvesliterally-in the position of the poor in order to understand them better.

"We invite you to give up' a day. of your customary meals and eat at the table of a working family, to give up your bed and sleep on the mattl'ess of a group of poor children," they said in an open letter addressed to public officials.

"If we. , ,(whose lives are so much easier) had to suffer the plight of the poor for just one day, we would be at the very least ashamed to pray the Our Father."

They criticized the socioeconomic situation in the diocese and in the nation, saying that many persons are out of work "and many of those who do work do not earn enough to live with dignity," They called upon authorities to insure "that salaries are equal to the work performed, that they enable a man to have access to private property and to participate in the economic prosperity of the nation."

Bishop Ferro and the priests cautioned public officials not to confuse tranquility with peace.

There can be no peace in a country until jobs are available for all and all are able to earn a just wage, they said.

'Sicily's' Gandhi'··Co·urageous.Pe·rformer· Peace Prize Candidate on American Tour SAN FRANCISCO (NC)"":"Danilo Dolci, known as "Sicily's Gandhi" because he successfully defied the Mafia, Mussolini and subsequent Italian leaders, said he is still living because "I got famous too fast and now it would be too dangerous to kill me."

poverished fishing village, where he married a fisherman's widow with five children. There he went on his first hunger strike, protesting delays In getting public works jobs for the. unemployed.

The strike ·was successful and emergency funds were obtained from Palermo, provincial capital.

The 46-year-old Dolci, a perennial Nobel Peace Prize candidate, displayed that same unflappable style during his American tour, under Catholic Peace Fellowship . sponsorship.

In 1965 Dolci .moved to the nearby town of Partinico where he lives today. Here' he led the famous "strike in reverse" in which unemployed workers began work on .an abandoned road project. Dolci was arrested and imprisoned for 50 days. When he was brought to his trial, Italy's leading writers and intellectuals testified. on his behalf.

Afflicted. with swollen feet when his new shoes proved too tight, Dolci borrowed a pair of bedroom slippers and wore them throughout his visits here. He was accompanied by Tom Cornell" CPF member, who served as his interpreter. .

Dolci's rise to peaceful reformer fame in Sicily, strife-torn for thousands of years,. followed a circuitous route. He was born in a village near Trieste in 1924, the son of a railway official.

During World War II he refused to serve in Mussolini's Fascist forces alth9ugh there was no, such category as conscientious objector.

He is credited with . bringing 20th century farming methods into western Sicily; eliminating some of the worst slums in its urban areas; construction of the Jato Dam that will revitalize 18 poor villages, and establishing a.

I'Aosf impressive accomplishIl)cnt is Dolci's· war on the Mafia. Fot the frist time in history Sicilians are willing to testify openly in Mafia criminal trials.

Dolci felt right .at home in California. When he arrived in Delano for his visit with Cesar Chavez, farm workers union leader, he said: "This morning

when I looked out over the land from the plane I thought we had lost our way. I thought we were arriving in Sicily, and when I saw some of you, Cesar and the others, I thought again that I had arrived home. In truth many of our problems are similar."

Continued "from Page One the c~mpaign's national headquarters in Washington and $13,900 remains in the diocese for assistance on the local level.

A nationwide representative committee of clergy and laity meet this month to determine nationaJ priorities. 0n the local level, a committee is being formed to determine criteria for distribution of the diocesan quo.. tao Rev. 'Francis L Mahoney, assistant at Immaculate Conception Parish, Fall River and diocesan director for the campaign stated, "the educational effort of the Campaign for Human Development is an educational and informational program aimed at promoting a greater solidarity between those who have a share of the nation's goods and those who are still trapped, in poverty". , . Every parish in the diocese will receive during this week 'a timely and informative kit dealing with "the hellish circle of poverty" which exists in·a land of plenty.

Quoting Cardinal Dearden of Detroit, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bish- ' ops,Father Mahoney asserted, "The campaign' cannot and should not be simply a fundraising effort. It must provide the opportunity for recommitment to the service of the poor.

Our gmil must not just be the raising of money but the changing of hearts".

\

· University friorities "The ~ast several years should have taught us that universities should be rather modest in their capacity to solve a great many problems of the world. Their major responsihility must be teaching and scholarship. That does not preclude social action but we must understand our priorities.'" "

will

These words of Dean Derek Bok, who 'has just been "'elected as President of Harvard· University, are wise ones precisely because they define the priorities of a universi~y Its main business is. and must be in the realm of the intellectual. And while this can and will spill over into. action of many types, the major thrust of a university's role must remain in the area of learnirg· . .

The last few years have seen many roles thrust upon the. university. Some"see it in this role that Bok ascribes to it. Others see the university as a vocational school preparing people for a job. Others would make the university a place in which they can find themselves, a sort of group dynamics center for self-discovery and awareness. Still others would see the university as a place for the planning and carrying out of change in society and in exist· ing community structures. "

0

The very confusion of roles reduces the university to doing none of thl~se well.

And so priorities must be re-established. And Bok seems to set the priorities in right proportion.

As the noted philosopher and economist Sidney Hook has observed, "Good works off the campus do not sub.stitutefor good work on the campus." If the university places paramount importance on. the intellectual, then it " .. is preparing minds for all the other roles that neonle wish t/J fulfill in their lives the business o.fgetting a job, the awareness of who they are and where' they come from and where they are going, the equipment to study society arid to test its structures and to bring about change where change is. called for.

In just a few years the tensions of centuries have been lessened. Priests and ministers are sitting down and talking and planning and praying together. Ecumenical services no longer excite surprise but are accepted with agreeable participation. Forces. are joined to meet common problems and to help solve community concerns.

But both aspects of the matter must always be kept in mind: common action in areas where there is. no confl~ct in moral principles or dogmatic beliefs; recognition that there are matters where there is an essential difference in belief or moral' standards.

Rice's Book About Merton Curious, Controversial

THE ANCHOR-

Criticize POW Mail Campaign

Edward Rice has written, and provided the many photographs for, The Man in the Sycamore Tree, which deals, in Mr. Rice's words, with "the good times and hard life of Thomas Merton" (Doubleday, 501 Franklin Ave., Garden City, N.Y. 11531. $7.95). Mr. Rice, a free-lance Merton was not held to the orphotographer and writer, dinary rule of that house.

The Governor met Merton when both were The dust wrapper on Edward students at Columbia University in the 1930s, and evidently kept in touch with him until Merton's death. In a reference to his stu-

By RT. REV.

MSGR. JOHN S.

KENNEDY

dent days, Mr. Rice speaks of himself as then a Catholic, "sort ·of." Later he styles himself "a modern skeptic."

He gives us a sketch of Merton's life, some of it drawn from Merton's own writings, such as' The Seven Storey Mountain, s~me from his association with Merton, some from letters and . the Observations of others.

What is new to the reader is Mr. Rice's recollections of Merton in the Columbia years and the interval before Merton's entering the Trappist monastery at Gethsemani.

"The teen-age Merton, the Merton of his early twenties," he writes, "had been as fat out as the beat and the hippie." He is very specific as to Merton's being the reverse of ascetic.

Then came the conversion to Christian conviction, but not immediately to Christian discipline. When finally the latter was accepted, Merton sough't acceptance by the Franciscans, was rejected, and turned to the Trappists.

One would hardly expect that Merton would find the Trappist life easy, but at first he knew great happiness. Later came illnesses, criticism of what he regarded as the incorrect application of the Trappist rule, and difficulties with the Trappist censors over his writings.

Eventually Merton was permitted to construct a hermitage on the monastery grounds and to live a largely solitary life. He became increasingly interested in oriental religions, especially Buddhism. He was allowed to go to the Far East to consult with experts in the religions of that part of the world, and it was there that he died.

Despite plain evidence to the contrary, Mr. Rice holds that Merton had determined neyer to return to the monastery, and that he intended to plunge into Buddhist mysticism.

This, then, is a curious and controversial book about Merton, and one cannot help concluding that he would deplore much of it. The photographs, however, are interesting, many of them new and revealing.

And say what Mr. Rice will about the supposedly unsympathetic treatment of Merton at Gethsemani, even he would have to admit that the extraordinary

R. F. Sheehan's The Governor

(World 2231 W. 110th St. Cleveland, Ohio 44102. $6.95) is decorated with pictures of a bright red biretta and a sombre black silk hat. It is the latter, presumably, which belongs to the governor.

The fictitious governor in question is Emmett Shannon. His state is Massachusetts. And the biretta signalizes a prelate known as the Archbishop of Massachusetts. He has no other name. But not a few will think that they recognize him.

In the spotlight here are the Irish Catholics, in politics and in the Church. Mr. Sheehan knows quite a bit about the species, none of it is very flattering. .

Emmett Shannon's father had reasonably high ideals, most of them borrowed from the Yankees. He tried to pass them on to his sons, Emmett and Richard who were altar boys for th~ Archbishop in the days before he was Archbishop.

Vaporous, Lazy Richard, in time, became' a priest, who modestly thought of himself as the Irish Christ, commissioned to. set things right in the affairs of the state and also to champion the cause of the poor. He junketed from parish . to parish, as howls of- complaint cause a succession of removals.

Emmett thought of being a writer, went to live in Europe, became infatuated with Mozart, developed cultural pretensions, and was.. 'promiscuous in pleasure. His clean-cut good looks did not declare the real man (perennial kid?), but they recommended him to a political' boss badly in need of a decent-seeming candidate.

First, Emmett was elected to Congress; then, by a fluke, came quick ascent to the governorship.

As governor, he was ineffectual, in part because he was vaporous and lazy, in part because he crossed the boss who made him.

When the boss decided to desecrate Boston's Public Garden by building there an enormous tower for parking cars, the Yankees were outraged, and Emmett stood with them. The archbishop, too, was ambiguously involved.

Palpable Phony . It appeared that the boss would surely smash Emmett, but a series of convenient melodramatic twists brought about a different denouement. There is some suggestion that Emmett, in political extremis, found himself and was on t.he verge of a truly noble phase. Yeah?

The novel is intended to be satirical. But. satire has to be done lightly, and this is a deplorably doughy business. The author is shooting at some targets which should not be spared, but he is shooting buckshot rather than elegant arrows, and much of the ammunition blunders wide , of the mark.

THE LATE BISHOP THOMAS QUINLAN speaks with Korean children. NC Photo.

'Death March Hero' Irish-Born Bishop Quinlan Had Been Prosoner of North Koreans SAMCHUK (NC) - Retired Columban Bishop Thomas Quinlan of Chun Cheon, Korea, a hero of the infamous Red "death march" in the Korean· War, died here Dec. 31 in South Korea at the age of 74.

Irish-born Bishop Quinlan, who spent a half-century in the Orient, had twice been a prisoner of war: in World War II, when he was captured by the Japanese, and in the Korean conflict, when he WilS taken prisoner in 1950 by the North Korean communists.

In Korea he and hundreds of other missionaries, American ,soldiers, diplomats and other foreigners were marChed more than 100 miles in a severe Korean Winter to a Communist prison ·camp along the Yalu River near, the Chinese border.

Hundreds died during the ma~ch and others later as a result of the hardships during it.

Father Quinlan saw prisoners drop in their tracks or be shot.

He gave some of them absolution and comforted others.

Among those who died in the larly distasteful specimen, in large measure a palpable phoney.

He is without discernible substance, and impossible to believe in .or care about. The novel's Archbishop is. a construct of traits of, and enecdotes about, a real personage, but by no means a portrait rounded or in depth. As for the foul-mouthed, unscrupulous politicians who roar and rampage through these pages, they may not be libels.

prison camp was American Maryknoll Bishop Patrick J. Byrne, aposljolic delegate in Korea. Bishop Byrne died 'of pneumonia.

Bishop Quinlan later recalled covering Bishop Byrne with his own 'cassock during the march because the bishop had a severe cold. •. Stories of Father Quinlan's valor and devotiori were told by survivors. One of them called him the "Saint of the March."

Prisoner of Japanese Bishop Quinlan went to the Orient as a newly ordained priest in 1920 and served in China. His first contact with the . communists came in the early 1930's when he negotiated with the Chinese Reds for the release of captured Columban mission- aries. In 1934, he was sent to North Korea where he helped to start a mission at Chun' Cheon, just south of the 38th parallel.

He spent the greater part of World War II as a prisoner of the Japanese.

He spent three years as a prisoner of the North Koreans.

The question of his release' and ·that of nine British subjects was the subject of diplomatic moves, . and in March, 1953, when Soviet Foreign Minister Vachaslav Molotov announced that he .would take it up with the North Korean government.

They were released through Soviet intervention a month later-, and Father Quinlan was repatriated to Ireland. In 1954, he returned to his mission at Chun Cheon.

NEW YO~K (NC) -"' Well.. meaning campaigns urging Amer-· icans to send mail to U. S. pris.. oners of war in North Vietnam were criticized her~ and in Den·ver recently.

Ron Young, a member of a peace group that went to North Vietnam, reported on his return that hundreds of letters and parcels from concerned Americans actually slow down receipt of mail from prisoners' relatives.

A number of groups, incloding students at St. John's University in Jamaica, N. Y., who won support for their idea from the colleges in the New York metropolitan area, launched writing campaigns during the Christmas season.

North Vietnamese officials told him they have to inspect each piece of mail, Young said, "according to their security regulations and few of them know English, so it is a very slow process."

Young said that only the prisoners' families have lists of what may be -sent to captives, who are allowed one II-pound package and one letter each month.

-In Denver, a spokesman for the local Ame:-ican Friends Service Committee voiced alarm because the Mountain Bell Telephone Co. had encouraged customers to write North Vietnam on behalf of prisoners.

Chester McQueary, a staff associate of the Quaker Peace Committee, sdd he questioned whether Mountain Bell should advise American citizens to contact the government of another country to obey Geneva conventions "when our own country has violated them repeatedly."

"And then," she went on, "when they were finished with their regular homework - then came the projects! Oh, it was awful.

They are conscientious kids, and really try to do their work to the best of their ability .. '. so they went overboard on the projects!

"Everything had to be perfect.

Author Wins Library Association Award HAVERFORD (NC) - Tasha Tudor, author and illustrator of children's books, has been named winner of the 1971 Regina Medal Award by the Catholic Library Association for distinguished contribution to the field of children's literature.

MADRID (NC) -.The Cuban Center of Spain, representing several thousand refugees, asked Pope Paul VI to intercede on behalf of Cuban political prisoners who, the center said, "have suffered horrible tortures.".

"In the name of 'countless families both in and out of Cuba, we appeal to Your Holiness to solicit from the Cuban government a little respect for the human rights of the political prisoners on the island," the center's message said.

The center said it was most deeply concerned with the fate of more than 500 prisoners in the penitentiary of Puerto de Bo· niata ,"who have been held incommunicado for more than a year."

'Many observers here believe that the Cuban center's request to the Pope was prompted by his appeal for clemency for six Basque separatists convicted of murder and other terrorist activities in Spain.'

Pope Paul later expressed deep satisfaction that the death sentences imposed by a military court were commuted by Gen. Francisco Franco.

JERSEY CITY (NC) - Father Victor R. YanitelJi, president of St. Peter's College, has denied that he is seeking the office of mayor in this city across the river from Manhattan.

The Jesuit priest's statement was in respol1se to a news story in the New York Times of Jan. 6. The Times said Father Yanatelli was "seriously considering" running as a reform candidate for mayor if there should be a mayoral recall election.

The current chief executive of Jersey City, Mayor Thomas J. Whelan, was indicted on extortion charges by a federal grand jury last November, along

with John V. Kenney, county Democratic boss, and several city officials.

In the statement issued by the college's public relations department, Father Yanatelli said: "r am not considering running for any political office.

"No one has asked me to run for mayor of Jersey City.

"In' response to an inquiry from the press, I did say that if .

I were asked to run, it would. take 'a real upheaval' for me even to consider it."

In the Times account, the 56year-old priest's possible" candidacy was discussed by unidentified county politicians.

A NEW YEAR1S KISS The clock strikes twelve, drinks held high, a chorus of Auld Lange Syne, tears, laughter, a New Year's kiss. That New Year's kiss . . . what a beautiful way to say to others: "Mayall good things be yours!"

Let's stop for a minute and think about that as we anticipate our New Year's celebration. We wish others to have health, happiness, and peace, not just as a New Year's custom, but in every day encounters with people. Even now at Mass we give this a "sacramental" significance when we' give each other the "kiss of peace." .

We will soon leave the old year behind us with its joys and sorrows, pleasures and problems, successes and failures. How sad it must be to be alone on New.Year's Eve to meet the new year with no one to share our hopes and fears with no one to share a "kiss of peace" and the wish for good fortune and happiness.

But no one IS reany alone! ·For iIi a much deeper dimension than flesh and blood we are in communion with all people everywher~. We do not encounter them in our ordinary lives, but we do in the mystery of our faith . . . in our brotherhood as God's People . . . and especially in the SIGN of God's Love and Presence - the Eucharist. .

Whatever you do to celebrate the beginning of the new year, please welcome in your heart those who are the loneliest of .G?d's People: the poor, the suffering, the hungry, and helpless mIllIons facing another year in the human poverty of the Third World.

Dedicated missionaries, serving right now in every part of the world, depend on your spiritual and financial support today to bring to their people health, happiness, and peae; for the new year.

PLEASE make your first New Year's Resolution be an act of love for others by sending a generous sacrifice for the missions today. What a beautiful way for you to begin the new year! A.nd for the world's poor and their missionaries, your gift today is lIke a "New Year's kiss"-a greeting and a .prayer: "The Peace of Christ be with you." Why not do it-right now!

On behalf of all the Church's missionaries: Thanf~ you for for your continued love and support of the ~issions . '. . G~d love you and give you His peace alld contmued blessrngs m

WASHINGTON (NC)-A 'federally funded study of 39' public, private and government school systems in 14 states has recom- , mended that American Indians be given increased authority and responsibility for the education of their children.

The three-year study, directed

by Robert J. Havighurst of the University of Chicago for the Office of Education, urged that' a greater number of Indians hold positions on local school boards in addition to having stronger involvement in tribal education committees in public and federal schools.

"The goals of Indian education," according to the study, "need to be interpreted in relation, to the pervasive, need to live in two cultures"-thelndi-' an's and the white man's..

A report of the' study asked that' federal and state, funds be alloted for special .education programs in all cities with 100 . or more Indian children. It also recommended in-service training for teachers. who have Indian pupils.

Further, it called for creation of a privately financed National Commission on Indian Education to conduct a continuous suryey of the quality of education for Indians.

The report indicilted that increased migration of Indians to urban centers has created new educational problems for Indians. " It estimated that about 280,000 or 38 per cent of all Indians live in urban societies.

Priest Puts Blame On Supreme Court

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Father Henry McNulty, pastor of St. Columba's Church here and VICtim of a recent stabbing and robbery, puts the blame for crime in Philadelphia's streets s!luarely on the U. S. Supreme Court.

Part of the problem can be, traced to "some people-judges -working within the system," Father McNulty' said. He said that" the problem started with the nation's, highest court and its 1966 Miranda decision.

In the Miranda case, the court ruled that confessions resulting from police, interrogation could not be allowed as evidence if a Estimates Saving defendant had not been advised CHICAGO (NC) - Dr. Donald of his legal right to counsel beA. Erickson, a university of Chi- fore making the confession.'

nition and years.

However, a little probing with more questions revealed a great deal of confusion and misconception underneath the certainty of knowing the definition by heart.

The simplicity and clarity of the definition poes not reveal the unresolved questions involved in the traditional Catholic understanding of sacraments.

Nor does it suggest the staggering differences in the way the sacraments were understood and administered in different periods of the Church's history.

Manv adult Catholics think the definition mellns that Christ gave the Apostles clear instructions about the number and nature of the seven sacraments and how to, administer them - instructions the Church has followed without change since the time. of Jesus.

Often the complexity, 路the historical development,' the theological questions come' as a fearful surprise when a change in practice' takes place in a parish or diocese. The sacrament 'of confirmation is a good example of this.

Time of Reception Some dioceses now postpone confirmation to the age of seventeen or eighteen, and some people would argue for an even later age. Other dioceses wait till the seventh or eighth grade, while many dioceses hold con. firmation in fourth or fifth grade.

In the Oriental' Rites of the Church, confirmation is received immediately after baptism, even in the case of infants. More and more theologians suggest that this is the most traditional approach.

The decision as to when people are to receive this sa~rament depends on an understanding of what the sacrament is for. So . theologians ask the question, "Just what is the sacrament of confirmation?" From the New Testament they draw almost no conclusive help..

It is practically impossible to discover in the Scriptures, or liturgical documents' of the first centuries, evidence for the existence of a separate sacrament of

NC Photo. confirmation. The most recent official' teaching authority of the Church leaves the question unanswered, and suggests only that "the rite of confirmation is to be revised, and the intimate connection which this sacrament has with the whole of Christian initiation is to be more lucidly set forth" (Constitution' on the Sacred Liturgy, 'No. 71).

Sequence of Sacraments The Council suggests what historical research, and 'a growing theological consensus seems to indicate. The sacrament of confirmation is essentially a part of the sacramental process of initiation into the Christian community, a confirmation of the gifts of the Spirit received in baptism and a final preparation for the sacrament of the Euchflrist.

The sequence of bapti~m颅 confirmation-Eucharist seems to be the important factor. This sequence has always been followed by all the Eastern Churches. and was the practice in the West until the Middle . Ages.

Time of Shift The shift in practice began in the medieval West because of the dying out of adult baptism and 'the catechumenate. The change was also necessitatea by restricting the administration of

this sacrament exclusively to the bishop, who, as population increased, could not be at every baptism to administer confirmation.

These practices' gradually affected the theology, so that emphasis was now placed on' themes such as "Christian maturity," "becoming a soldier of Christ,", "courage," - themes that are secondary to the main focus of confirmation as the transition event: between baptism and the Eucharist in the . process of Christian initiation.

This understanding of the Sacrament of Confirmation as a sacrament of Christian maturity has little basis in, the Scriptures or the earlier twelve centuries of the Church's tradition and practice.

Today there is no unified practice regarding confirmation, nor is there a complete consensus among hierarchy and theologians as to the real meaning of this sacrament. Some feel that confirmation is the sacrament of "coming of age," similar to the Jewish bar-mitzvah. Such an understanding follows the theology developed in the Middle Ages, and would suggest postponing the sacrament until a person is able to make a fully mature commitment.

success thus Jar. Although small in 'physical stature the Regionals are extremely, quick and, may, "run" to another title. ' ' Provincetown has four starters niturnin'g from last Winter's club and' appear as a definite threat to Nauset.

Frank Reis; JoeSarraba, Dennis Santos and Mark Silva are ready to do their best to win a championship for Coach Elmer Silva in his first year at the helm.

If the old adage "a well disciplined team is a ,winning team" is true, then the Fishermen will win their share. For, in addition to handling the varsity basketball club, Coach Silva is also responsible for the smooth operation of the entire school. He is principal of the high school.

Among Cape's Top Prospects

However, it is unlikely that Coach Silva will have to discipline this group of youngsters who are confident that team play and hard work will bring that cherished championship.

Reis a 6' I" senior is the team's leader and one of the most prolific scorers in the diocese. He surpassed' the 1,000 career scoring mark mid-way through last season and may reach the 2,000 point mark before this Winter is over.

In the opinion of opposing coaches Reis is a definite col" lege prospect. They concur that he could play for any team in the area and is among the best to ever play on the Cape.

Reis is also an excellent baseball prospect. He is an outstanding catcher with a strong arm and a potent bat.

P-town, however, is not a one man ball club. Sarroba is a good ball-handler who can score from

the outside. Although only 5' 9", Santos is very strong off the boards. And, Silva, is a veteran ballplayer who always gives a steady performance.

Barring unforeseen problems P-town will be among the top contenders' right down to the final gun.

Ex-Providence College star, Noel Kinski is expected to mould a competitive uni~ at Chatham. Coach Kinski will depend primarily on a brother combination to keep his club in the thick of the race.

Bob and John Erickson paced Chatham to an upset Victory. over Nauset last week. Bob led the team in scoring and John quarterbacked the offensive attack.

Chatham's win was definitely an upset and points out Coach Miller's sentiments that all clubs in the loop are competitive this year.

State High Jump Champ Leads Nantucket A year ago Sandwich had the best junior varsity club in the circuit and if the boys improve quickly Coach Bill Doyle will have his team in the race.

Paul O'Connell has been impressive in the early going for Sandwich using his 6' 3" frame to muscle those important rebounds. With Jeff Lewis handling the scoring capably against P-town last week with a 31 point effort the Doylemen al.' most upended 'the Cape-tipsters, Lewis is one of the premiere scorers in the loop.

But Coach Doyle will have to produce three more steady performers if Sandwich is to contend.

titleists says, "The league' is well balanced this year, and on a given night anything is liable to happen. Provincetown is strong and must be considered a slight favorite. It should be a very interesting season."

Jon Donaghue and Jon Rice will lead the Nauset attack this Winter, but" not in the same capacity as for last year's championship team. A year ago, both were guards, Donaghue is now playing the center post and Rice is working one of the corners.

The bulk of the scoring has been done by these two six footers thus far as the duo has accounted for about 50 points per game.

Coach Miller will have to rely on good defense to keep his club among the contenders.

Without a big man, the veteran

-

Veteran mentor Charlie Dunbar of Harwich is fn a similar position. Bill Crowell and John Morris have teamed up well thus far and given Harwich a strong one-two punch but more is needed ,in order to stay with the likes of P-town, Nauset and Chatham.

Over on the islands of Martha's Vineyard, Coach Jay Schofield is faced with the task of finding a replacement for Maury Bannister who will be out of action for a few weeks. Bannister has been an all league selection both his freshman and sophomore years and his absence leaves a big void in the Vineyard attack.

He had devoted most of the Summer vacation to conditioning himself for three months of gridiron wear and tear. By Septe'mber, the 6-0, 230-pounder had reac;hed a physical peak.

Phil was in his junior year at Bridgewater State College, a 'school more renowned for turning 'out 'teachers' than football players.

The Bears were coming off a 3-4-1 record and like the other returning veterans, LeFavor was anxious to reverse the losing trend.â&#x20AC;˘ Several tough opponents graced the Bridgewater schedule, but Phil was confident the Bears would win their share of games.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned: Eight times Bridgewater answered the bell and eight times the Bears took it on the chin.'

The 0-8-0 record was the' poorest in several seasons. ,As LeFavor walked off the Legion Field battle' pit following a season finale loss to Trenton State he was so dejected he didn't utter a single word. What had started off as a bad season (opening game loss to Hudson Valley) and grew steadily worse, finally culminated in utter disaster.

N9 one felt worse than Phil.

To him, the entire season was one big nightmare.

Despite a record-setting 47yard field, goal, extra point and the recovery of four fumbles in the 14-10 loss to Trenton State, LeFavor couldn't as much as muster a smile. 'Winning was more important to the Wareham native.'

Phil's entire college career has followed a similar pattern. While LeFavor shines, Bridgewater coritines to fade. " , As a sophomore, Phil earned the respect of opposing coaches by being named to the starting c~nter position on the All New England Conference All-Star squad and was later dubbed the school's outstanding lineman.

This past season, he was an outstanding linebacker as well as ballsnapper and place-kicker deluxe and, as if that wasn't enough, he eVj;ln washed the towels on Mondays.(That was his job as a part-time employe' at the school).

His record-setting field goal was the second' in as many years~ Last season Phil hit five If Coach Schofield's club can stay in contention until Bannister 'returns the Islanders may bounce back.

Nantucket is expected to be an improved club, but Coach Joe Champi does have a depth problem. Only two veterans are on this year's club and inexperience could hurt the Whalers.

State high jump champion, Rich Richard, and Joe Vieira give the new coach a good nucleus from which to build, but there may not be enough time.

CLA director Frank Moriss, a columnist for the conservative Catholic weekly, The Wanderer, said the purpose of the demonstration atten~ed by members of various faiths, was to "declare there is no such thing as an unwanted child." The event received support from Archbishop, James Casey of Denver a~d Bishop Hubert M. NewelI of Cheyenne, Wyo. In a letter from Archbishop Casey, read aloud by Moriss, the prelate said those responsible for permissive abortion laws "poison human society" and are a "supreme dishonor to thc Creator."

Bishop Newell's lettcr said: "It is a tragic commentary on our timcs that while we have provideQ the initiative for extraordinary scientific progress wc have suffered thc corrosion of fundamental human values.

The attempts to undermine the right to human life through the liberalization of abortion laws constitute an insidious attack on the dignity of the individual as a child of .God,"
