WASHINGTON (NC) - When First Lady Nancy Reagan visited Bishop McNamara High School to speak about the dangers of. drug abuse she took with her a member of the Washington Red­ skins, Mark Murphy, because, she said, athletes and celebrities carry the most clout with teen­ agers.

'Defensive captain of the Super Bowl champion Redskins, Mur­ phy was clearly an athlete-cleb­ rity whom the high school youths admired. Greeting him were some 700 students from Bishop McNamara, which is run by the Holy Cross Brothers, and about 100 girls invited from La Reine High School. Both schools are in su~urbs of Washington.

Mrs. Reagan who made her brief talk an introduction to a longer talk by the football hero, didn't really need to ask "How many here are Redskin fans?"

But it was a good opening for the mid-February visit, with the team's first Super Bowl victory still fresh in everyone's memory.

She told the students that she has visited many drug rehabilita­ tion groups in the last few years and has asked the young people in the programs who would be the most likely to get through to teen-agers about the dang~rs of drugs. She said she was told again and again that celebrities

and athletes carry the most clout. So she brought Murphy ,with her.

The football player said that to succeed at anything in life the students had to be "discip­ lined, determined, dedicated and drug-free." He dismissed the no­ tion that since many successful athletes are known to take drugs, drugs are therefore harmless.

He told the students that they might get away with drug use for a while, but ,"eventually it will catch up with you." Mur­ phy cited comedian John Belushi, who recently died of a drug over­ dose, as an' example. But he also spoke of Eddie Murphy, a young comedian popular among teen­ agers, who once said during a performance that "anyone who uses drugs is a fool."

During a question-and-answer period Mrs. Reagan said drug abuse is the "most democratic of problems" because all levels of society suffer from it and it is in all areas of the country.

Murphy noted that professional athletes with drug problems draw' a ,lot of attention, but that drugs ,are a problem in every profes­ sion.

The high school presented Mrs. Reagan and Murphy with school T-shirts and gave the first lady a bouquet of roses. They named her an honorarY McNam­ ara Mother.

R~ligious

Bigotry

Every week thousands of Catholic people in our diocese view religious television programming. The vast majority of these are avid. fans of the P.T.L. Club and the P.T.L. network. Not alone are many faithful viewers but they are also very generous in their financial support of the many and v..aried programs offered by this television· service. The bulk of contributions from the industrial states of the north and the midwest comes from the pockets of Catholics.

With the advent of renewed interest in the Holy Spirit, the Bible and evangelism, ,Catholics throughout the country have turned to the P.T.L. Network. They had, in fact, little choice since the church in the United States has been hesi­ tant to move into the area of television programming. For­ tunately the situation now seems to be. remedying itself with the advent of CTNA, the Catholic Television Network Association.

The arrival of CTNA is just in time. To the present the Catholic Church has not fared very well on P.T.L. Network.

In fact, much of its programming has been anti-Catholic in tone, motive and content.

Perhaps some of this could not be helped, given the nature of many of the hardcore fundamentalists involved in pentecostal programs. However, it should be pointed out to the Catholic community that no matter how enthusiastic some of these preachers and programs seem on the surface, they are among the worst representatives of anti-Catholicism in this country today. In fact, they are little removed from their Ku Klux Klan cousins. The only difference is that they have removed the white hood and sheet for the three-piece suit.

A perfect example of the insidious hate that is being propagated as religious trJlth by these new'hysterical heroes of revival meetings is the famous Jimmy Swaggart. The Catholic Church is fast becoming for him a hate obsession.

A popular revivalist, he puts his thoughts into print in the January edition of the Evangelist magazine. In an'IS-page article he'states that Catholicism is a false culture, that its' organization IS not Christian and that its claims are false.

He reserves his strongest diatribes for the pope, the priest­ hood, the Mass and Mary, all of which he tosses aside as phony, heresy and anti-Biblical.

Swaggart is but one TV religious barker who parades his sideshow for mass appeal. There are others who have no compunction ,in attacking the Catholic Church at will.

Most of them can be seen quite regularly on the P.T.L.· Network. . -'" "It is difficult to se~. how Catholics can give outward support to those who deride their church and beliefs. If' one needs such ministry he or she should direct financial gifts towards the development of Catholic network pro­ gramming. .

People such as Swaggart and others, who opimly attack the church, should not receive one cent from Catholic viewers. . The church in this country has had a long history of. hateful persecution. What is being viewed now on television was once heard on radios and seen in" tent meetings. The bigots have not changed their cry. They have only dressed it up for TV. , Be discerning; don't be overcome by emotional yo-yos; let s love our Church' and not add to her suffering. Don't support TV fanaticism!

There is a Carmelite saying 1 am fond of quoting: "Sadness is preoccupation with oneself." We need to hoe, water and pull weeds in our life every day.

Family Night

A weekly at-home program for families

sponsored by the Diocesan Office of Family Ministry

OPENING PRAYER Lord, as we gather for this Family Night, empower us to be family with hope. It's so easy for us to put each other down and to find fault with one an­ other. Lord, help us to be positive and help us also to seek and see goodness in' one another.

Bless us, Lord, throughout this whole week. Amen.

TO THINK ABOUT Hope is a powerful virtue in the great threesome of 1 Corin­ thians 13:13. Hope is fed by faith and flows from it. As Chris­ tian families our hope is in Christ. Webster's Dictionary re­ minds us that hope means "to want and expect" and "it i~ a feeling that what is wanted will happen." In a' very real sense Lent is our greatest season of hope because it awaits the great mystery of Easter morning.

ACTIVITY IDEAS Young Families PRAYER JAR Materials: large empty can or jar, old magazines, scissors, glue, pencils, small pieces of paper. Cut out pictures

on the theme of hope from the magazines and glue them onto the jar until, the jar is complete­ ly covered: Have each family member write three prayers on separate pieces of paper to be placed in. the jar. Keep the jar near the meal area and each evening draw out a prayer to be read aloud before dinner. Be sure to replenish the jar often with new prayers.

Middle Years Families RICE BOWL OF HOPE Mater­ ials: bowl, paper, and pen. One way of sharing hope with others ,is by the giving of alms. Plan to conserve on one meal a week and use the money for the "Rice Bowl." At the end of Lent, give the money to your local church to be used for the poor.

Good teacher.s

Whether the topic is sci­ ence, history or religious ed­ ucation, what are the right moves for a teacher who wants to create enthusiasm for learning?

In an education class at the Catholic University of America, I asked students to identify what they considered the most attrac­ tive qualities in professors. When we discussed their findings, two qualities far outranked any other: consideration and task orientation.

'Under the category of consid­ eration one student commented: "My professor learned our names immediately. During the first class she asked each of us our names and took considerable time to study our faces and con­ nect the names."

A coed observed that when one professor asked questions he was very attentive to the responses.

He paraphrased answers and wanted to know the student's feelings and thoughts on them.

Often he referred back to an an­ swer a half hour or so after it was given. She concluded, "You sure get the impression of being heardl" Under the category of task orientation, several students ob­ served t~at a professor they ad­ mired gQt down to business im­ mediately. An outline was put on the board and foHowed me­

thodically. There was no wander­ ing off the topic.

I followed up on this comment and asked the students if they dislike teachers who get side­ tracked or eat up time on person­ al asides. Their reply was a re­ sounding, "yes!"

Students most admire teachers who are prepared. This means the teacher makes a clear, logi­ cal presentation with pertinent examples. The students enjoy teachers who reflect a love af­ fair with the subject and relish teaching. They especially admire a professor who makes the topic the center of attraction, rather than distracting asides.

I have to wonder if this 'busi­ nesslike attitude is the result of the high cost of a college educa­ tion. I do not wonder, however, about the two most prominent qualities students identified as most desirable in a teacher. Psy­ chologists have theorized that leadership consists in the balance between being considerate and being task oriented.

If a person is too considerate 'and tries to please evryone it is probable the job won't be com­ pleted on time, if at all. If the person is too task oriented, all work and no play, personal pride may be dampened in others end­ ing in poor quality. If both are proportioned equally in a person you have a leader.

I find it ironic that students

desire teachers with the same qualities, psychologists define as the essence of leadership. Pro­ fessors receive for less financial compensation for their efforts than do leaders in the business world. When budgets are tight­ ened teachers are usuaHy the first to be cut.

College and university adminis­ trative salaries are much higher tan ,those of professors. There is also the "publish or perish" rule that hangs over a professor's head. And tenure is difficult to achieve today. On the while,' professors are viewed more as public servants than a ruling ·elite. .

I worry as' I see good profes­ sors going over to the business world for better salaries and status. If classes become over'­ crowded, if universities opt for part-time instructors over ten­ ured professors and if good pro­ fessors give up on education, the very qualities of leadership our students admire could be seriously weakened.

M*A*S*H leaves legacy OK, take me in, book me, don't bother to read me my rights. I am guilty as charged. It's a clear case of dereliction of duty.

I don't know what the rap is for skipping a dinner where three ex-presidents are speaking in order to watch the finale of "M*A*S*H." Maybe you have to do time in Plains in July or six months of hard labor on Richard Nixon's presidential papers for another installment of his mem­ oirs. Maybe it's caddying for Gerald Ford at the Bob Hope Desert Classic. Whatever the penalty, I will pay it.

If I get to make a speech in the dock, I'll say, for openers, ~hat it was not "a historic first."

Our three former presidents ap­ peared together in public at the funeral of Anwar Sadat.

Even if they hadn't, I will con­ fess that I would have gone ahead with my plans for a counter-dinner. Twelve of us "M*A*S*H" heads ate meatloaf and potatoes, as they did so often in the mess tent - and snow peas in honor of Korea.

Two-thirds of the trio who un­ folded their napkins three blocks away may not take umbrage ­ Carter and Ford are "M"A('S*H" fans, too - when I say that our group probably got more wit from Hawkeye, more wisdom from Colonel Potter and more humanity from B. J. Honeycutt than was dispensed from the head table at the Sheraton­ Washington. Nixon probably will; he usually does.

Frankly, it was the auspices of the dinner that I found most liberating. It hpnored Adm. Hy­ man Rickover, who exemplifies why a guilt-free evening can be spent out of the presence of peo­ ple out of office. The admiral, you remember, when it was too late to do any of us any good, told us he was "not proud" cif the part he played in building nuclear-powered ships. He would now, when he can no longer do it, "sink the mall." Thanks a lot, admiral.

With all due respect, l;!x-presi­ dents Ford and Carter similarly demonstrate this propensity of public men to say sensible things once they are no longer in a posi­ tion to put them into effect.

Coming back from Sadat's fun­ eral, they boldly informed us that to bring peace in the Middle East, it is necessary to deal with the Palestine Liberation Organ­ ization. Neither dared say it in the Oval Office. Ronald Reagan, who would have to face the music from Jewish voters, paid them no mind.

By MARY McGRORY

Alas, I don't have to go to din­ ner to find out what Richard Nixon thinks about anything.

Television news executives have mistakenly assumed that I am in tiptoe for his opinions about everything, and regularly cut away from great events to bring me comments from the sage of Saddle River. Most recently, on the occasion of Waiter Mon­ dale's presidential declaration, he opined that Mondale would never make it because.of his close ties to Carter. Maybe Carter leaned over the centerpiece to ask Nix­ on what he meant by it.

I was not there. I was happy in the unseen company of millions of other Americans, to whom I did not need to explain my choice. Sure, "M*A*S*H" was funny; yes, 'it was anti-war. But it was much more than that. At the 4077th, as distinct from Washington, people spoke their minds and feelings and made tremendous progress in under­ standing themselves and one an­ other.

Hawkeye went to surgery drunk. He left an operation in mid-course. He committed the sacrilege of screaming at the . adoring, wounded Radar. No one excused him. They lined up to tell him off, even gentle Father Mul­ cahy. Hawkeye knew he had been a jerk. He reconciled with Radar as an equal. He gave Ra­ dar his beer; he took Radar's Nehi grape.

The romantic message of "M*A"S('H" was that people can accept help in the form of home truths about themselves, which, of course, in real life is not al­ ways the case. It was as muct! the constant, successful trans­ actional analysis as ,the wise· cracks that gave the show its therapeutic content. It went on even when Dr. Sidney Freeman - Hawkeye calls him "the skull jockey" - was not in. Everyone did it. Hawkeye's back was kill­ ing him. Colonel Potter told him he was crippled with anger at a doctor back home making hay while Hawkeye stewed and fumed in the swamp. Hawkeye straightened up.

People always grew and im­ proved on "M*A*S*H," Maj. Margaret Houlihan was trans­ formed from a banshee to a wom­ an. before our eyes. Toledo­ crazed Klinger became respon­ sible. "M*A*S*H" told us that it's too bad the triumph of hu­ man decency doesn't occur often outside a war zone.

Cardinal de Lubac not a bishop

Vatican facsimile

seen at Fordham

YATICAN CITY (NC) When Pope John Paul II placed a red biretta on the head of Car­ dinal Henri de Lubac Feb. 2, .the French Jesuit theologian was th.e only cardinal among the present 138 who was never a bishop.

In correspondence with the pope after his elevation to the College of Cardinals was an­ nounced, the 86-year-old Cardin­ al de Lubac requested permission to forego episcopal ordination.

In 1962 Pope John XXIII ruled that priests named to the College of Cardinals should be ordained bishops before formal enroll­ ment in the college.

Cardinal de Lubac. told the pope that at 86 he was not capable of administering the sacraments of confirmation and holy orders or of running a di­ ocese and argued that episcopal ordination should not be given merely as an honor to the oro' dinand.

The ,last cardinals enrolled prior ,to' episcopal ordination were Cardinals Alberto di Jorio and Alfredo Ottaviani. Elevated to the College of Cardinals in 1958, Cardinal Di Jorio was or­ dained a bishop in 1962. Cardinal Ottaviani· was also ordained a bishop in 1962, nine years after .. ' becoming a cardinal.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Friday, Mar. 4, 1983

uestion corner

By Father John

DI~tzen

Q. For the past five years I have attempted to assist a sister whose 26-year marriage, with two chUdren, was dissolved by a tribunal on the grounds that they were psychologically Incapable of a real marriage commitment. Her spouse was lmmecIlately married by a Catholic priest to another woman.

I find It dlfflcult to understand why the church allows her trI· bunals to dJssolve marriages this wayl My sister remains single and lonely because she cannot believe the church so easUy all­ lows her remarriage. Please ex· plain this to me. (Florida) A. I have explained

annul­ ments and the annulment process in detail often in this col~mn. It is not possible to repeat every­ thing here. but I must point out some major misunderstandings you and your sister seem to have.

An annulment does not "dis­ solve" a marriage. It is a declara­ tion by competent and highly trained authorities in the Cath­ ollc Church that no marriage ever existed between those two people.

This has nothing to do with the length of time they were married or how many children they have. It means, very plain­ ly. that some circumstance in­ volved in that relationship made impossible any true ,marriage commitment, in the Catholic and Christian sense of that word. be­ tween those two people.

The church by no means reaches this conclusion as you say "so easily." Declarations of nul\ity come only after lengthy and intensive investigations. with every possible piece of help­ ful information obtained from both, parties, their families and their friends. .

These investigations. along with their interpretation and analysis, sometimes take several years. Your sister and you must know this since she was herself part of this process.

If your sister remains unable to reconcile herself to this de­ cision. please ask her to discuss it with a priest in her parish or with your diocesan tribunal. She clearly needs help to situate her­ self honestly and comfortably in her present situation.

Q. I have always thought It was Catholic teaching that Jesus was born of Mary while she was sOO a virgin. Now I hear th8t some top theologians deny this.

Is this true? (MIssouri) A. No. it is not true. There is no ranking Catholic theologian , that I know of who denies what we call the virgin birth of Jesus. though many aspects of this teaching remain profound prob­ lems in Catholic as weB as Pro­ testant scholarly circles.

One of these is. for example. the problem of just what the church's official declarations about the virgin birth (in the various creeds. for instance. and in some of the ecumenical coun­ cils actually meant. Usually

such declarations are intended to combat some erroneous teaching of the time; so a knowledge of just what the church was try­ ing to refute is essential to under­ stand the precise meaning of these doctrinal statements.

As with the Bible itself. it is misleading and dangerous to ap­ proach church documents for an­ swers to questions which were not even being addressed at the time, or which these documents did not intend to address.

Interestingly. while many pass­ ages in Scripture support the teaching of the virgin birth of Christ, some others seem to create a problem about it. Large. parts of the early church seemed to have been. unaware of any' doctrine about the virgin birth even many decades after Jesus died. Outside of St. Luke's story , of the conception and birth of Jesus, practically all the New Testament is silent about a virgin birth tradition.

As you can see this becomes quite involved and deserves a great deal of open study. But again. no top theologians are denying the virgin birth or' Christ. They do often insist. as we would expect them to. that they have no fear that honest discussion of the virginal concep­ tion of Jesus will lead to a trau­ matic choice between modem" scholarship and teachings of the church.

Questions for Father Dietzen may be sent to Holy Trinity Parish, 704 N. Main St., Bloom­ Ington, nt. 61701.

St. Mark's Passion

By Father John J. castelot

Mark had an earlier and sim­ .pIer account on which to build his Gospel account of the Pass­ ion of Jesus. For the death of Jesus was a problem for the early Christians.

How did one explain to a hos­ tile world the belief that Jesus is the Son of God and that one worships him as Lord? After all, .it was a matter of public record that Jesus had been sentenced by the Roman procurator on grounds ·of suspected, anarchy;

II

that he had been crucified be­ tween two convicted felons.

This was the son of God? The Christian answer was that Jesus' death was part of God's, plan of salvation. It was not the execu­ tion of a hapless' pretender.

It was urgent that this answer be given. That is why the passion story was the earliest connected narrative to take shape in the formation of gospel material: Th~t also is why the story is replete with explicit references Turn to Page ThIrteen

Children of one father

By Katherine Bird.

My first glimpse into the com­ plex world of, Judaism came about 10 years ago through "The Chosen," a best-selling novel by author Chaim Patak that recently was adapted into a movie.

Potok tells of the friendship of two Jewish boys growing up in Brooklyn against the -back­ drop of World War II: the brilli­ ant Danny Saunders and Reuven Malter, who wants to become' a rabbi.

Danny's father, a rabbi, is de, termined to retain the tr~ditions of his Russian Hasidic fore­ bears. Reuven's scholarly father sees the need to adapt some­ what to changing conditions.

The rabbi, accordingly, considers

II

the Malters' orthodox somewhat questionable.

As a parent, the rabbi practices the same stringent discipline he himself endured as a child: He "talks in silence" to his son.

For years, without explaining why, the only place the rabbi carries on a normal conversation with Danny· is ,in the classroom, studying Judaism. Outside the classroom, the only way the rabbi will speak to Danny is through Reuven.

I found much about Potok's Jewish world alien to my. experi­ ence and I found it 'hard to sym­ pathize with the rabbi's views on child-rearing.

Still, as the novel unfolded I 'r ' Tum to page thirteen

By Dolores Leckey !

Growing up in New York City meant living in the midst of a rich mixture of cultures and religions. ' _Et~nicity, however, often kept groups separated. Irish Catholics didn't'mix with Italian Catholics and rteither mixed much with Jews. ; My :neighborhood bordered on a, Jewi~h enclave strong in reli­ gioustradition and even includ­ ing a. rabbinical school. Yet' I grew up knowing virtually noth­ ing about Jewish faith and prac­ tice. '~ , ' Consequently, sterotypes were part of my perceptions of, my Jewishi, neigbbors.' I remember the first time I baby sat for Jewish: children. I entered the fr<)Dt door in a cloud of fan­ tasies, :~xpecting an exotic at­ mosphere of rains' horns, strange foods 'and unreadable books.

I ' What I, fqund was a household ml,lch, li~e my own. ,.

It was y~ars, later, however, at· the height ,of Vatican Council II, that I f~rst came to know Jews as friends.This important de­ velopment happened through my children: My h~~band and I belonged to a bibysitting cooperative in which parents excanged child, care, with payments in time " rather t~an' dollars.

'That's I how we met Ilana and I Carl.

faith

~riendship

Our discussions began with social issues. We found we shared many common causes, such as cOQcern for. farm work­ ers.

We also found differences, one of which concerned tax relief , for parents of children in reli­ gious schools. Gradually our dis­ cussions moved from' the theo­ retical to. the personal.

My husband gave Carl a book, "The Anguish of the Jews," a virtual classic by Father Edward Flannery. In that' book, our friends found Christian under­ standing and sympathy for' the centuries of oppression that are part of the Jewish experience in history.

Ilana told us that her father used to keep her inside on Good Friday. Coming to America with memories of persecution, he' feared for his young daughter's safety.

The more we talked with each other, the more we found our- . seilll'es explorinb a common spirit­ ual hunger. When Ilana spoke of God I realized she could barely utter the name:· For her, God '!Vas the .unnamable. Her respect, for_ the mystery of God was ab­ solute. .Our conversations often fo­ cused' on this aspect of God. We shared a conviction that contem­ plative silence was often the only authentic response to the Holy One. One day Ilana said, "Why don't we ever talk about gardens and housekeeping?" I wondered if it were not because we knew so few people who could easily share their hunger for God. Our families began to share life with each other. Our child­ ren were welcome at the time of Hannukah in llana's home, and her children enjoyed our Christ­ mas tree and turkey. It was es­ pecially significa.nt that Ilana felt all right about bringing her children to our home on Christ­ mas Day. Her father-in-law, widowed for many years, had remarried. His

II

new wife was not Jewish; she celebrated Christmas in their home. Ilana felt this to be a threat to her children's identity.

I knew this and for several years hesitated to ask her to join us on Christmas. I finally risked an invitation which she accepted, explaining that it was reasonable for her family to be guests of a Christian family at Christmas.

I learned from Ilana the impor­ tance of the family in handing on 'Jewish traditions. This strengh­ ened my own attempts to de-, velop family rituals and prayer.

Through my own experience, I agree with Pope Paul VI's ob­ )lervation that we ·are all spirit­ ual Semites; Christians and Jews share many religious roots. I know this because of the trust and faith that grew in the friend­ ship between our' two families.

"It was a cool evening. The men had built a small fire for warmth. I was. standing near the fire when I noticed a man who looked like he was trying to keep to himself.

"As I looked at him, I felt sure I had seen him once with Jesus of Nazareth in the market­ place: I walked over and 'said to 'him, "You too were with Jesus of Nazareth.'

St. Mark's passion

, Continued from page twelve and subtle allusions to the Old Testament. The passion and death were seen within the whole sweep of divinely directed salvation history.

Many factors influenced the telling of the passion story as it took form. One was the growing antipathy between Christians and Jewish authorities.

At the same time, gentiles were more and more favorably disposed toward Christians; and Christians had to assure the Ro- , man authorities that neither they nor Jesus were anarchists.

That accounts for the notice­ able tendency to paint Romans (for example, Pilate) in more sympathe,tic colors, Jews less so.

As a matter of fact, Jesus was condemned by Roman authority to death by a Roman mode of execution and the sentence was carried out by Roman soldiers.

It is not at all certain' here that the Jews did not have the power to carry out the death sentence. It also is important to. remember that the Jewish leaders were not only religious but civil authorities.

Jesus was perceived as a threat by members of the reli· gious establishment and, by that fact, by the civil establishment.

Since Pilate depended on stable local government to help him keep order, any threat to it was a threat to him.

Thus Jesus was perceived as a threat all along the line. There is no simple way to assign blame for his death.

For children

THE ANCHOR­ Friday, March 4, 1983

Shaded by such factors, Mark's account of the passion is none­ the less a powerful statement of his theology and a tribute to his literary expertise. It begins in Chapter 14 with authorities looking for a practical way to destroy Jesus.

It was Judas, one of the Twelve, who promises to hand the victim over. No motive for his betrayal is suggested, and all he gets is a promise of payment.

Then, between the plot of the authorities and the betrayal by Judas, Mark places the story of Jesus' anointing by an unknown woman. The contrast of her tender concern and the treachery of others is brought into sharp relief.

The indignation of the on­ lookers is understandable; the perfume cost about a year's wages!

But the value of the woman's gesture far exceeds the oil's price. Mark sees it as a symbolic preparation, for Jesus' burial, while the fact that the perfume is poured out on Jesus' head suggests a royal anointing.

The two thoughts will be join­ 'ed later on, as Mark portrays the crucifixion of Jesus as his royal enthronement.
