NY, Boston appointments affirm US church

By Jerry FUteau NC News Service What signal did Pope John Paul II send to the U.S. church with his choice of new arch­ bishops for Boston and New York? If anything. it was an affirmation of the current mainstream of the American hierarchy. according to sev­

eral close observers of Am­ erican Catholicism.

Both new archbishops are considered well within the standard framework describ­ ing most American bishops: doctrinally orthodox and com­ mitted to the Second Vatican Council. strong on leadership and discipline ' within the

church but comfortable with ecumenism and American plu­ ralism. They also are consider­ ed committed to church in­ volvement in issues of social justice and public policy.

Archbishop Bernard F. Law of Boston is a specialist in ecumenism and a former of­ ficial of the U.S. bishops' na­

• PRESIDENT REAGAN AND ARCHBISHOP LAGHI

He's· pronuncio

By NC News Archbishop Pio Laghi. apostolic delegate in the United States, said Jan. 30 that he will be the Vatican's first pronuncio in Washington.

The archbishop said his credentials have been approved by the White House and that announcement of his new post is scheduled to come after Senate approval of the nomination of William Wilson as ambassador to the Holy See. Raising his status to ambassador would permit a "more candid and frank exchange in what we say and think." Arch­ bishop Laghi said. He said the formal ties would give the Holy See "real moral power in speaking in the name of human dignity. human rights and peace and justice."

At Archbishop Laghi's Washington office. which has begun c8l1ling itself the Vatican embassy, a staff member Feb. 6 said the archbishop is likely to be named pronuncio although no forma-I appointment had' yet been announced.

The office is being called an embassy or nunciature. however, to reflect the formal ties which now exist. the staff member said.

DALLAS (NC) - A top Vati­ can official cited "rules and limits" on theological criticism of church teachings at a meet­ ing of 240 bishops from the Am­ ericas. The prelafes: :fncIuded Bishop Daniel A. Cronin.

The bishops. from North and Central America and the Carrib· bean. met in Dallas Monday through yesterday for an inten­ sive moral theology workshop.

Keynote speaker Cardinal Jo­ seph Ratzinger. prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. took as his topic "Bishops. Theologians and the Moral Life of the Church." .

Reporters were not admitted to his talk but an outline dis­ tributed at the workshop showed that among issues he addressed was the "rules and limits" theo­ logians must follow' regarding -criticism of authoritative church teachings.

The outline also indicated that the cardinal said the task of the moral theologian was to carry on a critical dialogue with con­ temporary society's moral evalu­ ations and to help the teaching office of the church to present its moral message to the world.

In his two-hour speech the cardinal also discussed objective reality. conscience. thecommun­ ity. and God's will and revela­ tion as sources of moral know­ ledge.

U.S. Cardinal William BaUni. prefect of the Vatican Congrega­ tion for Catholic Education. also addressed the gathering.

Funded by the Knights of Columbus. the meeting was the fourth seminar for members of the hierarchy by the Pope John XXIII Medical-Moral Research and Education Center.

The center. based in St. Louis.

began the Dallas seminars in 1981 to educate the bishops on medical-moral-ethical issues re­ quiring a pastoral response.

Father William Gallagher.

president of the center. said the focus on moral theology at this year's workshop came from the bishops themselves.

WASHINGTON (NC) - For­ mal exchange of ambassadors between the United States and the Holy See would violate sep­ aration of church and state and could promote discrimination against non-Catholics, Protestant leaders testified last week at a Senate confirmation hearing for William Wilson, President Rea­ gan's choice as ambassador to the Holy See. Outnumbered nine-to-one at the hearing, the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights backed formalization of diplo­ matic ties between the United States and Holy See. The hearing, before the Sen­ ate FQreign Relations Committee, was officially to consider Wilson as ambassador, but it became a protest forum for groups op­ p.osed to such ties.

Sen: Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) said he opposed formal U.S.-Vatican ties and said he may put a hold on tlte ,nomination before it rea'ches the Senate floor. ' Wilson, testifying briefly, said the formal ties' would promote better communication .between the United States and Vatican that the ambassador's'role would be to explain U.S.' foreign policy to the Holy' See, and that ties would help the United States and Vatica~ promote peace.

"The benefit. to, be derived from full diplomatic relations . '.', would be. primarily~erived ffO~. ,~ , ~I'1llanent >p~~l!ence there," he said. i'H" . , The accusation that the. op­ position is anti-Catholic was raised by Father Peter Stravin­ skas, East Coast regional direc­ tor of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.

"I submit that, at bottom alld after all the rationalizations have been stripped away, this attitude amounts to nothing other than conscious or uncon­ scious prejudice against the Catholic Church," he said.

"This group is in no way anti­ Catholic," said the Rev. Robert

Maddox, executive director of A:mericans United for the Sepa­ ration of Church and State and a Baptist minister. "To suggest that this is some kind of anti­ Catholic ploy is to miss the point." .

"The main thrust of our op­ position is support for a clear separation of church and state," said the Rev. James M. Dunn, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Af­ fairs.

"By no means are all Roman Catholics enthusiastic about U.S. -Vatican ties," said the 'Rev. B. B. Beach, a minister who heads the department of Public affairs and religious liberty for the General Conference of Seventh-day Ad· ventists.

Mr. Beach said some U.S. bish­ ops "are not anxious to have a papal nun~io in Washington breathing down their clerical collars, for he would speak for the pope and the Roman Cath· oli~ Church and enjoy direct ac­ cess to the government without" the bishops' involvement.

Mr. Dunn said he personally knows.Cathollcs, including at least one bishop, worried about the ties. He said he has been in­ formed that the U.S. bishops reached "tacit agreement" in a private session at their Novem· bel' 1983' meeting not to speak out.

Appointments. affirm Continued from page one "Archbishop Law's position on civil rights is outstanding," added Msgr. Lally, a priest of Archbishop Law's new see.

He said Archbishop O'Con­ nor will probably be­ more , involved in N.ew York affairs than his predecessor, Cardinal Terence Cooke. "He is very forward-looking in solving both domestic issues and in­ ternational ones."

Jesuit Father Joseph O'­ Hare, editor in chief of the national Catholic magazine America, described both men as centrists.. "They are two very reliable, very presentable bishops . . . They're middle of-the road - which is not to say that they are mediocre, by any means.. , "Those appointments do not­ reflect an attempt (by the pope) to clamp down on the direction~ in the church in the United states" such as some conservative voices in U.S. Catholicism had been predicting, Father O'Hare added.

Archbishop O'Connor' re­ ceived wide publicity in the United States in 1981-83 as the so-called "hawk" on the committee that drafted the U.S. bishops' controversial national pastoral letter on war and peace.

But Catholic analysts were widely agreed that this popu­ lar label was inherited and represented a great over­ simplificatic,>n o'f his. position.

Msgr. Lally said that the new archbishop, who since November has been chairman of the bishops' Committee on Social Justice and world Peace, has made "very good contributions" to the com­ mittee's work while a mem­ ber for the previous three years.

"People have gotten the wrong impression in describ­ ing him in hawkish terms," Msgr. Lally said. Archbishop

O'Connor's position on the war and peace pastoral was "not that at all," the priest explained, but a matter of caution as to the extent to which the. bishops are com­ petent to address areas in which they do not have tech­ nical ~xpertise. . "To· call him a hawk," said Father O'Hare, "is to suggest that he's an unthinking ad­ vocate of 'America, right or wrong.' But he's not that.

He's a very artici.l1ate, reason­ able man, and in fact he did support the pastoral. Remem­ ber, his military background as a chaplain in Vietnam placed him on another side ,of an. issue that was very formative for many Catholic social activists."

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit, who also was a member of the war and peace committee and who espouses a strict theology of non-violence, said Archbishop O'Connor "very clearly took a strong stand on the' just war theology - but so did the other bishops (on the com­ . mittee) except for myself. .

"Perhaps he was . more forthright in pushing for cer­ tain points of view, but al­ ways we were a1?le to engage in very reasonable discussion . . . 'and come up with word­ ing that satisfied both our concerns," Bisho'p Gumble­ ton added.

Msgr. Ellis called the divis­ ion- of the two responsibilities "the most pleasing aspect" of.

-' the new appointments. "It's an elementary matter of com­ mon sense that sho~ld have been done years ago,':· he said.

- Msgr. Lally said Archbishop O'Connor, as a member of the USCC justice and peace com­ mittee, is his own man, one who "studies the issues very carefully" and is' "not afraid to ask questions or seek clari­ fications."

DeaCOll-researcher experiences tension

SAN DIEGO (Nt) - Perman­ ent deacon James Campbell works "with a tear in my eye" as a nuclear researcher and de­ scribes the twin commitment of his ministry and' career work as an "interesting tension."

"I'm a mediator," Campbell said in an interview at the Uni­ versity of San Diego during a San Diego diocesan. "day of dia­ logue" on the U.S. bishops war and peace pastoral. His minister­ ial role in the church and his Air Force career in nuclear de­ fense allow him to see both sides of the nuclear issue, he said.

At the dialogue day, Campbell was a workshop leader. It was the third such event aimed at helping Catholics understand the peace pastoral in a city with large defense industries and one of the world's largest naval bases.

C~mpbell, 47, works in charged particle beam research at Law­ rence Livermore National lab­ oratory, which is regularly picketed by peace activists. He

also works in' what he calls a service ministry of peace and justice at St Augustine _Parish in Pleasanton.

"I think there's a big misunder­ standing. One needn't be. a paci­ fist to be for peace and justice," Defense workers can do so "in a real and sincere way," he said.

He said that when he speaks to defense workers, he tries to get them to approach their work "with a tear in their eye ... be­ cause this is a very sad business to be in," I But he said such an inner struggle need not mean leaving their work. "Isn't it better to put .up with that tension rather than abandon that ·work to someone who won't have that tear in their eye?" he/asked.

He said he took to heart Pope John Paul II's recent appeal to scientists to "leave laboratories of'death," but noted that a de­ fense ministry built up over 40 years wlil not be dismantled in five.

The "quickest way out" 'of the arms race is to have "sober" and "reflective" people working in it, he said, and part of their task is to "help change it from with­ in,"

MIl

However, Campbell, who has three daughters, said his world view and religious perspectives have been changing recently, and his wife fears that he will quit his job and jeopardize the fam­ ily's financial security.

He said that until recently "I was not shaping any of my life as if Jesus Christ existed," but now he devotes more time to prayer and to study of Scripture and cnurch teaching.

He said he does not feel at odds with the "necessary forces" of those who demonstrate out­ side the gates of his workplace.

'But he pointed out that "one­ line slogans" are "not very con­ ducive to dialogue" and are not enough to .resolve questions about how gospel values should shape one's political views. '

Tonight he. will speak at 7 p.m. at St. Elizabeth's parish, Br:istol: R.I., while at 7 p.m. tomorrow he will' address the A'ssociation for the Develop­ ment of the Catholic Univer­ sity of Portugal at SMU. Those attending are asked to use campus parking lots 8 and ·9.

At 6:30 p.m; Sunday the speaker will ,be at St. An­ thony's Church, Taunton, and at 7 p.m. Monday at Espirito Santo, Fall River.

He will conclude his lecture tour at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Our Lady of the Rosary parish, Providence.

In turn­ ing to such friends, people may " experience' God's" 'healing and strength, There is, another' relationship which shoudn't be overlooked: ,,People should pay attention to themselves, to what makes them happy and w~at challenges them; to their strengtHs and limi~ation.s, to what. they nee~ to be at 'peace with themselves, Everyone needs tIme with friends, with God and with him or herself.

How good' a friend l,lre you to yourself? How could you make yourself you.r best ally?

New Films "Broadway Danny Rose" (Fox) Woody Allen plays Danny Rose, a loving theatrical agent who labors selflessly for some fourth­ rate talents, especially Lou, a has-been singer (Nick Apollo Forte). Once. Lou gets his big break, however, he dumps Danny, as, his brassy mistress, Tina· (Mia Farrow), has been urg;ng him to. The plot is thin and mildly amusing. Though the movie is innocuous otherwise, there is very offensive stern­ typing of Italians. Because of this, it is rated A3, PG.
