FATHER HOYE

Bishops elect Father Hoye

Father Daniel F. Hoye, 36, a Taunton native and since 1978 associate general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/U.S. Catholic Confer ence, has been chosen the new general secretary of the twin organizations. He is the young est priest ever to hold the post. His five-year appointJDent, ef fective immediately, was an nounced Tuesday by Archbishop John R. Roach of St. Paul-Minne apolis, president of the NCCB/ USCC. Father Hoye, a priest of the Fall River diocese, succeeds Archbishop Thomas C. Kelly, who has been named to head' the archdiocese of Louisville, Ky; The general secretary is chief administrative officer for NCCB/ USCC. NCCB is a strictly ecclesi astical body through which the American bishops act as pastors of the church. It sponsors USCC,

a civil corporation through which the bishops and other church members act on a wider scale on behalf of· both the church and society.

Family elated Hoye rhymes with joy these days for the family of Father Daniel Francis Hoye, newly named general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/U.S. Catholic Confer ence. And there are plenty of joyous Hoyes. The new secretary is one of nine children, eight boys and one girl, and at last count had 14 nephews and nieces. Two brothers, Charles and Stephen, practice dentistry in Taunton. David and William do the same in East Douglas and Turn to Page Six

Father Hoye was selected in a mail vote by the 48 bishops on the organizations' steering com mittee. The general secretary's initial term can be extended on a yearly basis. Born in Taunton Jan. 18, 1946, the son of Virginia and the late Dr. Charles E. Hoye, Father Hoye is one of nine children, of whom eight are living. He was educated at St. Mary's Grammar School and Msgr. Coyle High School, both in Taunton. After studying for the priest hood at St. Thomas Seminary, Bloomfield, Conn., and St. John's Seminary, Brighton, he was or· dained May 13, 1972. by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin. He served as associate pastor in St. John the Evangelist parish, Attleboro, and at St. Mary's parish, Norton, be. fore being assigned to studies at the Catholic University of AmTurn to Page Seven

The Catholic press has chosen for its February 1982 observance of Catholic Press Month the theme: "See the world through the eyes of faith." The question immediately comes to mind: Does this mean to see the world as it realIy is, or to see the reality behind the real: God, Jesus, His Son, and their Spirit Who "over the bent world broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings" (as the Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins puts it). One thing is certain, it does not mean to see the world through rose-colored glasses. Some, even Catholic leaders, would have the Catholic press do just that: paint lovely pictures, telI warm stories, hide the sins, faults and failings of humans. Nor does it indicate we are to see the world distorted as if by amusement park mirrors. There is a brand of journal ism, mostly secular, sometimes "religious," which believes the function of the press is to show the warts, the mean ness, the nasty contrivances that arise when men pursue private enterprises for power or fiscal gain. In short, they want to depict a world without redemption and man steep ed in sin. What about those over-zealous souls who ask the Catholic press to telI the story of humans as if they were angels, to concentrate on the miraculous to the point of unreality? These want "blind" faith, which is without man's reason, his intelligence, his talents. Even those who want the Catholic press to portray the world in monochromes - blacks and whites with no in-between shadings - demand that we deny the Gospel. They have falIen prey to a very ancient heresy which held that Jesus never became a real man. But Christ did; and when He embraced our creature-state, He gave us reason to believe it. He still invites disciples to utilize human skill to the utmost, to discover all they can about God's world and creation. This is where the Catholic press can truly shine. It speaks the real about the world that God so loved as to send it His Son. It telIs the truth about man, made by God, falIen into sin, redeemed by Christ's passion and death. It speaks hopefulfy of human struggles and tribulations, for they are seen in the light of the Resurrection. Catholic papers, journals, newsletters, magaznes telI the truth about the Church: it is made up of human beings; it is not God but it is the instrument of Christ, its Head. It shows life's great moments transformed by Christ's coming to become our sacraments: birth, growth, nourish ment, marriage, healing, worship; ][t does alI this and more when it invites us to find beneath the appearances of the world the permanent, the lasting. We must be warned: the world "which did not receive Him" is not impressed. It asks us to pay our way, to prove our message. We are calIed to sacrifice, to face hardship in telling that story week after week. The Catholic press always needs the support and encouragement which only Catholics can give. It needs it more than ever.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., Feb. 5, 1982

............----~---

the moorins.-, Another F~ather in Our Cap To some, the diocese of Fall River 'is a, little territory tucked away in southeastern Massachusetts. Others might, know it as "the,Cape diocese" and yet others as a collection, of old mill towns. Each description possesses the proverbial grain of truth. ' , But the di~cese is much more than the sum of its parts; Fall River has always been a people dioce~e, ready to go beyond its own borders to serve the needs of the greater church. During its history, the diocese has made some ndtable, contrbutions to the church. When thinking of pioneer missionaries, three outstanding Maryknoll priests come to mind: Father John Considine of the fam'ous "Field' Afar" days, Bishop Frederick Donaghy, who ,served in 'China and is now in Taiwan and Bishop Joseph -Regan, still work ing in the Philippines. Three' other notable prelates left this diocese to serve the church in' the Midwest: the late Archbishop William Brady of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Msgr. Francis Gilligan" still active in that archdiocese and of courSe our own re tired Bishop James Connolly who returned from St. Paul as the fourth bishop of this diocese..' _ In more recent days, priests of the diocese who left to serVe in notable positions are Cardinal Humberto Med eiros, Archbishop of Boston, and Bishop Joseph Delaney!of Fort Worth, Texas. Now another flame has been added to the diocesan list, that of Father Daniel Hoye. As annou~ced earlier this week, Father Hoye has been named general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the United ~tates Catholic Confer ence, a position which places him in the mainstr~am of . church activity in the United States as basically the. bishops' executive "deck officer.'" fl.', : ' The NCCB, it should be remembered, is strictly an ecclesiastical body through which the bishops of the country act pastorally. This organization, in turn,sponsors the USCC which is in fact a civil entity througl}· which the bishops together with other members of the church act on a national level on behalf of both the church and society. , From· the above, it is obvious that Father -Hoye as sumes a very great responsibility. However, to his credit, he is well equil?ped to face his new challenges. He poss esses both talent and the ability to use it, a combination he will need in the work ahead of him. . But if one were to single out a specific characteristi~ sure to be a hallmark of his administration, it would be his ·love for the church. His days in the Fall River diocese, both in parish sei'Vice and in the,marriage' tribunal, were . ,penneated with the, pastoral perceptiveness of a true churchman. ' , We are proud of the national recognition that has come to one of our sons! All who know Father Hoye ~cho the sentiments expressed by Bishop 'Cronin in his message of felicitations. The bishop declared his delight that this "competent, dedicated .priest has been selected for this important office." Also with the bispop, we pray "that Almighty God will bless Father Hoye in the exercise of his labors now and in the years. that lie' ahead."

In' Maureen is like many women today. She married .for better or for worse at a High Mass with a nuptial blessing. She's a loving mother of five well-adjusted children and has a husband who works hard to support the family. As the song goes, "Who could ask for anything more?" Well, Maureen could. She's joined the legions of men and women who say to themselves daily, "There's got to be more to life than this." She's feeling the familiar symptoms of bteakout leading to outside job or college and feeling guilty for wanting this. ' '~I know I should be satisfied," she says. "I have a nice home, good kids and a husband who works hard." She paused and sipped her coffee. When she con tinued, her voice had! a note of pleading, despair and anger. '~But that's just the point. He's got his work. When he .comes home, he watches TV. He doesn't have anything to talk to me about.' I don't feel I can ask him to be Interesting just to make me happy.

Chartres lecture at cathedral The grandeur of France's Char tres Cathedral will be described in an illustrated lecture at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The speaker will be Malcolm Miller, official ,English language guide and lecturer at Chartres. Located 55 miles southwest of Paris, the cathedral of Notre Dame de Chartres is one of the _ jewels of 13th century Gothic architecture. Its profile is fami

liar throughout Christendom be cause of its dramatically con· trasting spires, one built in the 12th century, the other in the 16th. Its flying buttresses, sculp tured portals and lofty vaulting identify Chartres with the royal style of architecture popular in the age of St.Louis of France. Its chief glory, however, is its 176 stained·glass windows. For the past 25 years Miller

has lectured at Chartres twice daily from Easter to Advent, in troducing thousands of pilgrims and tourists to the cathedral His lecture at St. Mary's, which comes at the beginning of his 1982 American speaking tour, will be illustrated with many slides. It will be open to the public at no charge, although donations will be accepted. .

Continued from page one erica, where he earned a canon law licentiate in 1975. Returning to the Fall River die. ocese, he was named vice-offi cial of its marriage court, a post . he held until he was appointed NCCB/USCC assistant, general secretary in 1977. In 1979 the Taunton priest traveled with Pope John Paul II throughout his U.S. visit; aiding in making arrangements for the pope's meeting with the nation's bishops· and serving as a re source person for journalists with the papal party. He has especial expertise in the church's new code of canon law, soon to be promulgated, and he is also project director for a study session the U.S. bishops will hold this spring. Father Hoye's selection as gen eral secretary was praised by Bishop Cronin, who said that news of the appointment "has been received with great joy here in the diocese of Fall River. "I am delighted that this competent, dedicated prjest has been selected for this important office," said the bishop. "I have conveyed my felicitations to Father Hoye and I have communicated with the 'President of the Conference, Archbishop Roach, expressing congratu lations to him and to the Conference on this occasion. "I am confident that Fath er Hoye will fulfill his new responsibilities with the same devotion which he has brought to all the endeavors which he has undertaken for the church in the years since ~is ordination. "We here in the Diocese of Fall River take special pride in the selection of one of our priests for this posi tion. We join in prayer that Almighty God will bless

Father Hoye, in the exercise of his labors now and in the years that lie ahead." "In his nearly five years with the conferences, Father Hoye carried out a broad range of as signments with skill and dedica tion, manifesting at all times great understanding of and love for the church and her people," said Archbishop Roach.. "His experience as associate general secretary under Arch bishop Kelly fully equips him to assume .!?roader responsibilities. The conferences and the church at large are fortunate in this choice," added the archbishop. According to Archbishop Kelly, Father Hoye is "a devoted priest and talented administrator who brings high intelligence and pas toral sensitivity to this position. "The general secretariat of NCCB and USCC will be in good hands," he said. In a statement, Father Hoye praised Archbishop Kelly and Msgr. Thomas J. Leonard, with whom he had worked as asso ciate general secretary. Msgr. Leonard will continue in that position. "Since joining the general sec retariat, I have had the benefit of working closely with my im mediate predecessor," Father, Hoye said. "I expect this ex perience will prove to be, invalu able in the years ahead. I also find great reassurance in my continued collaboration with Msgr. Thomas Leonard, whose. wisdom and experience are im portant assets to the confer ences." The conferences normally have two associate general secre taries. ' Archbishop Kelly has been elected NCCB and USCC secre tary. Under bylaws of the con ferences, if a general secretary is not a bishop, a bishop must se~e as secretary.

My Notre Dame-dominated cityscape now holds a position of honor in our home and be it recorded that the artist agreed with me to the extent that he painied several ren ditions of it for other clients.

With all this, I did not see Notre Dame's interior until about a year ago. Then, pass ing by on a sunny Saturday morning, I climbed its granite steps and tugged open its massive door. An epiphany of light, color and sound, burst upon me. . I had arrived upon a wedding.

Suppose Lori wishes to return to school. Since she did not re-' ceive her high school education, you might provide her with fin ancial incentives. Normally adults can prepare for the GED high school equiva-' . lency test at night classes. Sup pose each time Lori completes part of the GED preparation, you give her a cash bonus. A larger bonus is awarded when she actually gets her GED. You 'might give her the cash or put it in a bank account as a fund for college or technical school. This payment replaces the high school support Lori did not receive and it is available only if she returns to school. Working out objective stan dards should decrease favoritism and tension.

Wilson said. "He wants to put the United States in a position of dealing (rom strength and not from weakness." Wilson said he thinks that the anti-nuclear stance adopted by some U.S. bishops' "does not represent the concensus of the bishops' conference" in the Uni ted States. Following Wilson's meeting' with the pope, the Vatican reo fused to comment on Wilson's remarks about the mutual con cerns of the U.S. government and the Holy See regarding El . Salvador and nuclear disarma· ment. Regarding possible U.S.-Vati can diplomatic ties, Wilson said he did not see his current status as a "personal envoy" without diplomatic rank as "an obstacle to his work," but that that, he does not think the First Amend ment separation of church and state eliminates the possibility of full diplomatic relations with the Vatican. He denied that either the Vati can or the U.S. government was pushing for' full diplomatic rela tions. In 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt started the custom of appointing a personal representa tive, without diplomatic status, to the pope. The pope has an apostolic delegate in the United States whose only formal role is as a papal representfltive to the U.S. hierarchy. Reagan's envoy s~id that an other papal. trip 'to the United States was not expected in the near future.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., Feb. 5, 1982

uestlon corner By Father John Dletun

Q. Recently I received mater ial advertising some appearances of the Blessed Virgin in Bayside, N.Y~ I know this is possible, but some of the information sounds

awfully strange to me. What can you tell us about it? Has the church approved this shrine? (Idaho) A. You are one of many from around the country who have asked the same question. 'Beginning in 1970, and contin uing until the present, a lady in Bayside, Veronica Lueken, has claimed a series of visions of Our Lady and Jesus. These sup posedly occur during prayer vigils held about twice a month, to which people from surround ing states and cities are invited. Following the visions, during which the voices of Jesus and Mary sometimes are taped, long quotes are published, running many hundreds of words, of what Jesus and Mary supposedly said. The rambling "revelations" cover everything from abortion to the imminent catastroflhic punishment of the world by God. Thef are against just about eveiything from Communion in t~e hand to lay ministers of the Eucharist, rock music Slnd ecu menism, and even against join ing a particular farm coopera tive in New Hmpshire. Much is made of numerous so called miraculous pictures. In one, for example, a scratching of light is interpreted as "the G clef, which symbolizes the Ros ary, is music to heaven's ears." Photographic experts studying many of these photos have said they could be produced naturally in a variety of ways. Included in the alleged reve lations are frequent poems which, though allegedly dicta ted' personally by Mary or some times St. Theresa, are not likely to win any Nobel prizes. . On the night of Robert Ken nedy's funeral, for example, after she had prayed to St. Theresa and Mary, a voice vias said to bestow on Mrs. Lueken the fol lowing poem: A minor miracle: Bobby and Theresa A delicate' petal scented by Heaven Fell from her bower of roses As her hand led the way Up the path on that day That Bobby kissed Mary and Moses. Another verse, given by St. Theresa in August of ·last year, begins: Remember to pray through '82 And never forget to wear your blue. The vigils. and supposed ap paritions take place Slt Flushing Meadows, site of the New York World's Fair, just next to Shea Stai:lium home of the New York Giants. About two years ago, Mrs. L"eken introduced a sys tem of "ight signals, so the peo ple couJd better follow the vis ions: A :.blue light announces the arrival 9f Our Lady; a red light announces the arrival of Jesus.

THE ANCHQR-O;o<e.e of fall R've,-fi;., feb. 5, 198~

Friends and the gift of faith By Father James A. Bl,ack

The young man was assured that his hospital room would be private. He breathed a sigh of relief. He just did not want to talk to another stranger about his illness and that it was to ~e the eighth time that he had to surrender to the surgeon's knife. The test results had all been bad; There was a large mass th'at had to be removed the next day. Following that, there would be weeks and months of con valescence, radiation sickness, anxiety and the slow process of healing.

The young man's name was Jim. He wanted to be alone to get everything over with. He felt quite anxious about the up coming surgery, for it would be the most serious he had ~ver had. As afternoon became evening, Jim tried to pray,' but the thoughts wouldn't come. "Here, we' go again, Lord," he said., ' He felt alone and depressed. Well, that was life, wasn't 'it? ~at w,as' the use of trying to figure it out? There was a knock at the door, and Father Ron ca~e in., "Just

A few moments later, others came into the room: Fathers Kevin, Frank and Bob, Sister McAuley and Sister Mary Rose. "We're all here now, Jim," Father Kevin said, "and we want to celebrate the sacrament of an ointing with you." The small group joined in pray er.

Dr. Seuss to get. Regina Medal HAVERFORD, Pa. (NC) Theodore Seuss Geisel, 77, better known as Dr. Seuss, author and illustrator of more than 40 chil dren's books, will receive the Regina Medal Award from the Catholic Library Association April 13 at the association's 61st annual convention in Chicago. Dr. Seuss began a revolution in books for young children with his rhymed nonsense stories and absurd creatures. The Catholic Library Associa tion established the Regina Med al Award in 1959 to honor ex cellence ,in literature for child ren. Born in Springfield, Mass., March 2, 1904, Geisel was edu cated at Dartmouth College and Oxford University. He has been a magazine and advertising illustrator, Illn editor~ ial cartoonist and the producer and designer of documentary features and cartoons for motion pictures, including two docu mentaries and a cartoon which won Academy Awards. Among his children's books are "The Cat in the Hlllt," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "Yertle the Turtle," "Green Eggs and Ham," "The King's Stilts," "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "McElligott's Pool."

Jim realized afterward that his friends had given him a tremend ous gift - they had shared their faith with him and through that faith had helped him find mean ing during a difficult period in his life. After they left, he no longer felt alone. He knew that the Lord would be with him in all that might come. And, for the first time since he learned he was to be hospi talized, he began to feel at peace. 'Perhaps -you wonder what makes me so sure about how Jim felt, or what happened to him through the faith of his friends. It's easy to explain. I was the man in the hospital ~ bed.

Son of man

Continued from page twelve Mark. But we can draw a pre liminary sketch. The Gospel of Mark opens with the words: "Here begins the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." The word Gospel means good news. For Mark, the Gospel is not merely the good news about Jesus. Jesus is the good news. Since the Gospel of Mark says much about belief, this introduc tion is supremely important. It declares that the o!>ject of Chris tian faith is a person, not just a Continued from, page twelv.e, set of truths or an ethical code. "than it has always been, even To be a Christian is to accept if today there seem to be more Jesus and an intimate relation reasons to. doubt," ship with him.

calculated to inspire belief in divinity. But there is deep irony here and profound theological truth. It is not the divinity of Jesus, however, but his humanity which dominates Mark's portrait. Though Mark refers to' Jesus as the Son of God and Messiah, his favorite title for Christ is the Son of Man. This title colors the entire second half of the Gospel. Right after Peter acknow ledges, "You are the Messiah!" Jesus enjoins silence on him. Im mediately we read: Jesus "began to teach them that the Son of Man had to suffer much," This is the first of three pre dictions of the passion in this Gospel. The shadow of the cross falls across the Gospel of Mark to such an extent that lit has even been called a passion story with an introduction. As early as Chapter I 3, Mark talks about some who plotted against Jesus, wondering "how they might de stroy him," The cross is in view from the beginning. For Mark, Jesus is the suffering Son of Man who has come not to be served but to serve - to give his life in ran som for the many,"

with high school people about sexuality, the same question was asked, <it is important. But I would like to rephrase it. Perhaps the -question is not, "How far is too far?" Instead, shouldn't we ask, "How far is responsible, both to you and the other person?" The time to answer; the ques~ tion lis not at the moment of a physical encounter, when sexual desire or peer pressure may cloud things. As with other im portant aspects of life, we need to think first. The responsible use of sexual power is a large topic. We can't discuss all aspects of it in this space. The song, however, raises questions about separating love from sexual activity. That is what I want' to discus~ now. Sexuality is innately part of us. Physical, sexual acts always affect more than oneself. Con sequently the song's question is too narrow. It places all the em phasis on "me" by askiing, "Where do you dare me to draw the line?" How responsibly do we view sexual activity? The meaning of a relationship can be determined to a significant extent .by the way we answer that question.
