Father Hoye raps credits inaction

WASHINGTON (NC) - Presi­ dent Reagan's brief mention of tuition tax credits in his budget failed to meet "either the expec­ tations of tuition tax credit sup­ porters of the repeated commit­ ments of the administration," said Father Daniel F. Hoye, new­ ly appointed general secretary of the U.S. Catholic Conierence (USCe).

It was Father Hoye's first pub­ lic statement on any issue since being named to replace Arch­ bishop Thomas C. Kelly, who was named to head the Louis­ ville, Ky., Archdiocese.

By Father Kenneth J. Doyle .NC News Service Pope John Paul II's schedule for his trip to West' Africa that starts today has' Vatican-wat­ chers gaping. It says seven days, 8,000 miles, 30 talks.

Such a campaign trail would exhaust most young, athletv,: politicians. When it is under­ taken by a 61-year-old' whose intestines were gouged nine months ago by a would-be ass­ assin's bullet, it is cause for wonder.

Many people familiar with this pilgrim pope's previous journeys were sure that this one would be different, cut back from his normally strenuous schedule.

But when the African agenda was announced, the prophets blushed. The tour of Nigeria, Gabon,Benin and Equatorial Guinea is scheduled at the same breathtaking pace as Pope John Paul's earlier trips.

The itinerary, too, wrinkled some brows, as analysts probed the pope's purposes. The four

nations seemingly vary greatly.

Nigeria is 600 miles long and the same distance across, while Equatorial Guinea is one-forti­ eth the size. With 80 million peo­ ple, Nigeria is one of the world's 10 most populous na­ tions, while Benin, with 3.5 mil­ lion people, rises from a -thin coastal strip of civilization to· a sparsely inhabited interior largely covered by jungle.

He suggested that jobs for un· employed teens could decrease the crime rate, noting that gasoline stations often seem short-staffed! nnd proposing that major oil corporations hire un­ employed youths as station at­ tendants.

The Catholic Press

Serving the Church

The prime purpose of a Catholic publication is not to be self serving but rather to serve well the Church. In this . light, the Catholic press has no reason for being if .it is not ft communications effort of the ehurch in the modern world. It must of its very nature be an instrument dispensing the "Good News."

From this viewpoint, it is obvious that the Catholic press plays a definitive and important role in' the total life of the Church. In fact, one might easily conclude, consider­ ing the condition of today's society, that its task is indis­ . pensable. ' ..../ However, it should be made clear from the outset that while the Catholic press has a very defined Church role, it is not merely a "house organ." It should reflect the whole Church, not just a, segment of ecclesiastical life.

As Church members, our response to the Gospel should reflect not only narrowly religious concerns, but also the' human, cultural and sociological concerns of the world.

Our day-to-day decisions demand thought shaped by truly Catholic principles. The Catholic press can assist us in this shaping. .

A church publication will seldom if ever be profitable in the same manner as a secular publication. Responsible management is indeed a prerequisite, but even so' the Catholic press of its nature cannot survive in the commercial marketplace. It must support the Church and iri turn be supported by it, especially in these difficult days of increases and inflation.

Support of 'the Catholic press should be more than ''Today if 'you shall hear his voice, horden not your hearts.' Ps. 94:8 "financial.

Bill?

Fathe'r { met a priest the other day with a wonderful moth­ er. Instead of the usual "My son, the Father" formality found in many mothers of priests, this 75-year-old mother has it all together. Her son is still her be­ loved and ordained, but she isn't about to confer sanctity upon him quite yet. , He told me that from early or­ dination on, he knew better than to pull rank on her. "Shortly after I was ordained," he said, "my mother and I were invited to a relative's. It bothered me when she got in the front seat next to me because it was stress­ ed in the seminary at that time that priests should never allow a woman to ride in the front seat with them. So I said, 'Ma, maybe you better ride in the back seat.'

"She gave me a long Irish stare and said, 'Listen to me, Sonny. If anybody's going to ride in the back seat, it's going to be you.' And I never said anything after that.

Women today find themselves in all kinds of quanderies over priests. Should they ride in the front seat with them? Should they dispute them, especially when they work together profess­ ionally? Should they call them by their first name if they re-

quest it?

The tension arising between laywomen and priests is little different from that arising be­ tween women and other author­ ities, bosses and professors to­ day. The rules are changing as the role of woman changes ­ from temptress to colleague or from helpless to associate. And a lot of men and women don't know how to handle these new relationships.

"I don't know what to do," a military wife said to me. "Our chaplain wants me to call him by his first name but my hus­ band gets angry if I do." She's in a Catholic Catch 22. In this situation, 'her husband is more traditional than her chaplain and she feels the tension between the two.

I asked several priests who prefer being called by their first names why. Here is what I learned.

"Whenever respect is auto­ matic and not earned, you end up paying the price," said one.

"People may think they're res­ pectful but underneath they're often resentful. When they call me Father McCarthy, I am exact­ ing homage from thein. When they call me Father Bill or just Bill, I become a friend and a peer to them."

M<GRORY can call parishioners by their' first name, why can't they call me by mine? We're all priests in some form or another working for the same God." The most common were those who feel that the use of Father depersonalizes them and creates a deliberate distance between them and those they love and serve.

"Why should my brothers and sisters that I played with as chil­ dren have to call me. Father? Or my Marriage Encounter friends?

One set of nieces even call me 'Uncle Father'Larry.'''

I urge priests, particularly those who work closely with laity, to let people know what they prefer being called. We are bewildered. An honor to one priest disappoints another.

My technique may be helpful to others if I'm working with a group of priests on some project, I simply ask how they prefer being addr~ssed and let them how I want to be. It clears the air and we don't have to play guessing games.

By THOMAS McDONNELL"

be Waugh's masterpiece, it Is nevertheless a masterpiece and every line the equal of a "'Pride and Prejudice" in our own time.

The fact is that the novel of manners is hardly practiced any­ more. John Cheevers comes the nearest to it" in this country, as far as the upper middle class is concerned, but the characters in John Updike's novels do not hold any interest for me.

They are jet-age Babbits out of Sinclair Lewis (rhymes with 'Rabbit'), whereas I care desper­ ately for Charles Ryder and all the Marchmains and for Sebas­ tian especially, and even for that outrageous fop Anthony Blanche.

What you get mainly in the novels of Evelyn Waugh, and what also remalns peculiarly lacking in American novels, is the wit of a very lively intelli­ gence in confrontation with a world of crushing mediocrities.

Our foremost enemy of the cant and banality of the age, he fought in the end a losing battle.

It is this, I think, that makes "Brideshead Revisted" one of the saddest novels - but of a rare and ineffable sadness - that I have ever read. There seems to be everything in it, foretold from some thirty-five years ago, 9f. that disintegration of social and moral values which we now see everywhere around us.

Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, who staff Our Lady's Haven, Fairhaven, and the Cath­ olic Memorial Home, Fall River, were among 70 religious from 13 communities 'affiliated with the Institute on Religious Life who a'ttended a Tec~nt meeting in . Brockton.

Also on the agenda were ex­ planations of' various programs for young women considering religious life. :

Vatica'n stamps.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican Philatelic Office is pub· -lishing a directory of Vatican postage stamps issued from 1977 to 1980.

Titled "Sta~ps of Vatican City . State," the directory, published in Italian,.- English, French artd German, is divided· by pontifi­ cate and contains colored illus­ trations of each stamp, reduced in 'size by 20 percent.

It also shows the universal stamp classification for each is­ sue, the designer's name, the figure designs,' type of printing, perforation and composition -of the sheets.

The directory can be obtained by mail at a 60st of 4,000 lire (about $3.25), including postage for registered qtail outside Italy, by sending an international money order or bank check to Governatorato Della Citta del Vatican, Ufficio Filatelico.

Editors rap

postage' hike

. BALTIMORE (NC) - Six edi­ tors of religious newspapers in Maryland, including Robert Johnston, editor of the Catholic Review, Baltimore archdiocesan paper, have jointly protested new postal rate increases.

Mail rates for the non-profit press were increased Jan. 10 to levels not scheduled to be imple­ mented for another two or five years.

"The religious press, like other mailers, was resigned to periodic increases, even though quite bur-' _ densome; it was not and is not now trying to duck them," stated the ·editors.

"At the same time, in the name of justice, it demands that the Congress and the administra­ tion revaluate the recent subsidy cuts and put the postal rate in­ crease program back on track toward a fair shake for the re­ ligious press and other non-profit mailers," the editors said.

They warned that the rate hikes "will put some publica­ tions out of business and serious­ ly impair the effectiveness of a great many others."

Editors who signed the state­ ment, in addition to Johnston, were Canon James Bingham of the (Episcopal) Church News of Maryland; Herbert J. Derwart of Cross currents, Mar y I and Churches United; Lawrence High of the Maryland Baptist; Melvin J. Knott of the Maryland Luth­ eran Mission Society of Mary­ land; and Jan Lichtenwalter of the (United Methodist) Circuit Rider.

In a weekly column for con­ stituents, Rep. Paul Simon (D­ Ill.) also cited the adverse ef­ fects of the postal rate increase on the religious and non-profit press. . o Churches and other non-profit -organizations have l)ad theilr', mail rates nearly doubled "at the very time they are being told they must pick up much of the slack, helping the poor and elderly and others who will be hurt most in the federal budget cutbacks," Simon wrote.

Another "still more ominous

side to these postage increases"

is that "we're making it more

difficult for opinion journals of

. every political and religious per­ suasion to survive," he said. Si­ mon added that the nation will spend $1.3 billion on military tanks this year. If· that makes - sense, he asked, "shouldn't we be willing to spend a fraction of that amount to encourage a well­ informed citizenry?"

Crystal Balls

Dear Editor: Your newspaper is hazardous to the blood pressure of tradi­ tional Catholics! So the crystal ball gazers of Jan. 28th's edition see us "jettisoning the inessen­ tials"of Catholicism. What's that supposed to mean? Is that why a recent survey of 4000 Catholic youth resulted in 90% rejecting Church birth control teaching, 89% rejecting Church premarital sex teaching, 75% reo jecting Papal infailibility, 63% rejecting consistent Sunday Mass attendance and 36% reject­ ing belief in life after death?

(The Angelus Jan. 28, 1982) Proceeding, the young are . urged to work for "social jus­ tice," does that mean for the triumph of the Lord's True Church and His Kingship or are they supposed to aid Bishop Bravo in his "non-totalitarian" Commuqist revolution? Or per­ haps work for the rights of the Rastafarjans to worship man as God? Or maybe sell out the un­ born by supporting the flawed Hatch Amendment?

Can you tell me where the church is better since Vatican II? Would you care to assure me that more souls are going to heaven since Vatican II? Finally, Father, do you think the guardians of the church will have a good accounting of their stewardship?

John P. Tarpey Wareham P.P.S. Feel free to publish this letter. I'd like to see it next to the Film Radngs, but perhaps it would be more suitable in the obituaries, since it's my church that's dying or died.. . ..

Sharing the suicidal person's pain and assuring them of your concern can be crucial. Ask what is bothering the person and ask if he or she has thought about commiting suicide. The realiza­ , tiori that someone is. willing to discuss it is often a source of profound relief for a person con­ sidering suicide: Once the possibility of suicide has been uncovered, the person should be encouraged to get pro­ fessional help.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., Feb. 12, 1982

After the funeral, what aid for the surviving spouse? The Dioce­ .san Office of Family Ministry is attempting to answer that ques­ tion with a new program for wid'owed persons, in place at St. Kilian's parish, New Bedford, and St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, South Attleboro, and in the for­ mative stage at St. Rita's, Mari­ on.

Deacon and Mrs. Paul Metilly of St. Theresa's are in charge of the program, under direction of Father Ronald A. Tosti of the family ministry office. Father Tosti said the Metillys are will­ ing to assist other diocesan par­ ishes in implementing what has, at St. Kilian's, turned out to be a much-needed service. They can be reached at telephone 399­ 7632.

The ministry at St. Kilian's, open to all in the greater New Bedford area, was initiated by Christian Service Commission chairperson Imelda Letendre af-

ter she attended a Day of Awareness for widows recently held at LaSalette Center for Christian Living in Attleboro.

"I knew then that something had to be done for widowed per­ sons in the greater New Bedford area," she said. ' With the cooperaftion of Fath­ er Paul Guido, OFM, and an­ other widowed parishioner, George Vezina, an information and planning meeting was held last December. With a minimum of publicity, over 30 persons at­ tended the session, which focused on identifying their needs.

Those needs include support and information, concepts kept in mind as a schedule of meet­ ings was developed.

January's program featured pharmacist Peter Letendre, who presented a workshop on medi­ cal approaches to grief, during which he explained the use of prescription drugs to alleviate grief symptoms.

Henry C. Rodriques, CPA, ad­ dressed members on "Finances for the Widowed" at this month's meeting. Future topics will include "Remarriage: One Alternative for the Widowed;" "Reentering the Job Market;" "Insurance' Needs for the Wid­ owed;" and "Spirituality and the Widowed."

Socially, members. of the new organization are plaiming a pot­ luck supper and a mutual support "hotline". program.

"We want to keep the pro­ gram flexible," said Mrs. Leten­ dre. "It has to continue to grow out of the persons who attend our monthly meetings."

Prisons fail, they declare

NEW ORLEANS '<NC) - The U.S. criminal justice system is "a positive damage to society," said 21 Jesuit prison, chaplains from around the United States in a statement issued at the end of a conference at Loyola Uni­ versity.

"The destruction of the self­ esteem and self-confidence of the imprisoned results in a demoral· ized and dehumanized individual who is more prone to return to crime," the chaplains said. The present system endangers society rather t~an protects it, they add­ ed. ' The Jesuit chaplains said many prisons house about twice as many prisoners as they were de. signed to hold. New prisons will

cost about $70,000 per cell.

Housing one prisoner costs about $13,000 a year, they noted.

"Incarcerating 'one person de­ .prives two' from going to col­ lege," they said. "The price of one year's incarceration means 20 children eat starch instead of protein. A rise in unemploy­ ment of one percent increases incarceration by four percent.

The suicide rate for prisoners is 16 times' that of the non-incar­ cerated."

Meeting for the first time in six years, the Jesuit prison chap­ lains reaffirmed their 1975 statement that the present crim­ inal justice system cannot cor­ rect or rehabilitate itself.

Jesuit Father George B. ~nder-

son, a prison chap'iain from Washington, D.C., told the chap­ lains that the rate of incarcera­ tion has doubled since 1980.

u.s. bishops seel~ to up Holy See aid WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. bishops are trying to in­ . crease financial help for the Holy See !jom American Catholics.

For several years the Holy See has been operating in the red.

Its annual deficit last year was estimated at about $25 million.

Archbishop John R. Roach of St. Paul-Minneapolis, president of the Nationa( Conference of Catholic Bishops, announced Jan. 25 that the NCCB had establish­ ed an Ad Hoc Committee on Economic Concerns of the Holy See 'to seek ways to increase American assistance to the church's central offices at the Vatican.

He named Archbishop Edward T. O'Meara of Indianapolis, who was national director of the So­ ciety for the Propagation of the Faith from 1967 to 1972, to head the committee.

Others named to the com­ mittee were Archbishop John L. May of St. Louis, Bishops John S. Cummins .of Oakland, Calif.,

Joseph F. McGuire of Spring­

field, Mass., and Joseph A. Mc­

Nicholas' of Springfield, 111., and

Auxiliary Bishop John McCarthy of Galveston-Houston. . The major U.S. Catholic con· tribution to the pope and the Holy See comes from the annual Peter's Pence collection, which is taken up around the world. In recent· years, the NCCB said, American Catholic contributions to Peter's Pence have averaged about 15 million a year.

Archbishop O'Meara said that "historically, the Cath'olics of the United States have been gen­ erous," but he expressed hope that the :peter's Pence collection will be "even more successful" in the future.

"In this connection,"'he added, "I no.te the many continuing and emergency appeals for assistance which come to the. pope from every quarter of the globe, the many services rendered to the universal church by the adminis· trative agencies of the Holy'See

By Father John Dietzen Q. I know you have answered questions previously about non­ Cathollcs receiving Communion at Mass, but something bothers me. Why do groups such as Teens Encounter ChrIst, Cur­ sUio and Marriage Encounter openly allow non-Cathollcs to re­ ceive Communion almost to the point of encouraging them to do so? Why do our pastors and bishops support. these groups while they are in open defiance of the church rules on this point?

(Massachusetts)

A. I have heard such allega­ tions more than once during the past several years. I have looked into them carefully in my own diocese and others. To my know­ ledge, whatever may have hap­ pened in earlier years with some of these groups, none of them hold the positions you suggest.

to be true in some instances ­ that under the inspiration of the deep Christian experience they share with others during a re­ treat, for example, and realizing the special place of the Euchar­ ist in symbolizing the bond that exists among Christians, a non­ Catholic has received Commun­ ion during Mass. He can hardly be blamed for this "misunder­ standing," let alone be condemn­ ed for it. If possible, the priest might attempt to explain the mat­ ter to him later.

The fact that this kind of ac­ tion occurs, therefore, does not automatically imply "defiance of church rules." On the part of all concerned it may be simply' a question of trying to exercise basic Christian charity and un­ derstanding in dealing with the embarrassing division in the fam­ ily of Christ, a division that sad­ ly separates us even at the lable of unity.

When the Reagan administra­ tion took office last year and al­ most immediately submitted a $49.1 billion package of budget cuts, a number of church agen­ cies and several U.S. Catholic bishops spoke out against the massive budget shifts. Reagan, however, eventually won from Congress almost everything he wanted.

If Congress approves the ad­ ministration's plan this year, the portion of the subsidy not ai­ re!ldy cut would be axed too.

Discovering God

I

For children

know your faith,

Without· faith, Jesus remains a mystery. Faith dawned with the ~vents surrounding the cross and resurrection.

Mark could have said that ,bluntily in his Gospel. But he chose a more effective method.

He dramatized it in the lives of Jesus' closest disciples.

His description of them was hardly flattering to the first fol­ lowers of Jesus. But Mark was more of a theologian than a his­ torian and he used this technique to make a powerful statement about Christian discipleship.

While the main characters in his portrait 'are the Twelve, others enter the picture too.

Early in th~ Gospel, Mark tells how the family of Jesus acted when they heard he was so busy with the crowds he hardly had time to eat.

The family "came to take charge of Jesus, saying, 'He is out of his mind." At the same time, Mark says, some adver­ saries of Jesus who had arrived from Jerusalem asserted, "He is . possessed by Beelzebub."

The implication is that the attitude of Jesus' family is little different from that of his adver­ saries.

When the family members ar­ rive at the house where Jesus is staying, they send in the mess­ age, "Your mother and :your brothers and sisters are outside asking for you," According. to Mark, Jesus then look!l at those with him and says: "These are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of God is brother and sister and mother to me," The main lesson here is that not even the most intimate rela­ tionship with Jesus suffices to make one a disciple. A disciple is one who shares Jesus' vision and devotion to the Father.

Nonetheless, in Mark's Gospel the apostles, especially Peter, get most of the attention, all too of. ten coming across as dense, ob­ tuse and completely uncompre­ hending. Even the most stupen­ dous miracles leave them simply confused.

After Jesus stms the storm at sea, "a great awe overcame them . . . They kept saying to one another, 'Who can this be that the wind and the sea obey hill)?' " Again, after the multiplication of the loaves arid fishes and the walking on the water, the Gospel says: The Apostles "were taken aback by these happenings, for they had not understood about the loaves. On the contrary, their minds were completely closed to the meaning of the events," Following Mark's second ac­ count of feeding the crowds Jesus hurls an exasperated series of questions at the apostles.

"Do you still not see or com­ prehend? Are your- minds com­ pletely blinded? Have you eyes but no sight? Ears but no hear­ ing? Do you' still ~ot under­ stand?"

Subsequent 'events showed they did not. Each prediction of the passion is followed by an Tum to Page Thirteen

Discovering God Continued from page twelve We . Christians keep in our memory the apostles, the mar­ tyrs, the saints who lived before us. We are in communion with 'them, with their discoveries and their remembering of how and why they chose this way.

When we say our creed, what are we doing but telling the story of our Christian origins, a story that incorporates the faith and experience of the communities closest to the beginning of the Christian story? They tell us what they know: that the mys­ tery at the heart of the world is a creative God; that a man lived among us, Jesus by name, whom they came to recognize as com­ ing from this God. The facts of Jesus' life are sparsely stated in the creed. He was born of a virgin. He suf­

Persecution

By CeclUa Belupr

on youth

This morning, as I was going over some pre-Lenten prayers, I recalled some words spoken by a student· who had a hard time believing in God. , I had given him some reading material and he was returning it to me; "Thank.you for the litera­ ture," he said. "You were right.'

It is through Jesus that one can conceive of a God." Soon we were joined by ot1)er students and I also remember a . girl who said, "The one persecu­ ted is \ sometimes stronger than t he persecutor." Jesus certainly proved this.

We think of the. missionaries sent forth as lambs among wolves. The meekness of th e lamb in enduring wrong sur­ vives the cruelty of the wolf in­ flicting it.

By .Charlie Martin

THE LEADER OF THE BAND' Alone and wild A cabinet maker's son His bands were meant For dIfferent work And his heart was known To none " He left his ho~e And went ~s .lone And solitary way And he gave me A gift .1 ~ow 1 never -can repay .

Martyrs are not only blessed in the composure of their own: spirits under' suffering: but their' cause is helped by the impress­ ion that composure makes on others; So it has 'always been. Not .by force' have. the greatest' causes triumphed; but by the . fortitude and. tranquility o f those who suffer for:· those causes.. Loss then becomes '~ain.

A child once said to me, "My mother says Jesus is a doctor."

How right that is! A doctor does riot tum from a patient because he or she has a disease. No, the physician seeks' a remedy.

Christ operated in the same way, analyzing the human, heart and probing its deepest secrets.

From him we learn 'that outward rectitude' does not guarantee in­ ward purity. We cannot judge youth by tQeir outward actions alone. .

The word "judgment" frightens many. Th~y think a God o f, judgment cannot be a loving.

God. They misinterPret punish­ ment, thinking it is penat, no t residential. The sole end of pun­ ishment, when justly adminis­ tered, is amendment or reclama­ tion. So little' have we learned of the t~e spirit of Jesus!
