Christ back In Cllristmas

By Liz Armstrong WASHNGTON (NC) - The First Amendment does not man­ date "complete separation of church and state" and thus the sponsorship of a Christmas na­ tivity scene by the city of Paw­ tucket, R.I., is not unconstitu­ tional, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision March 5.

The case, Lynch vs. Donnelly, involved a nativity scene includ­ ed in a display of Christmas symbols sponsored by Pawtucket in a park owned by a non-profit group.

Chief Justice Warren E. Bur­ ger wrote for the majority that the court has not considered it possible or desirable to enforce a regime of total separation of church and state.

"Nor does the Constitution re­ quire complete separation of church ,and state; it affirmative­ ly maridates accommodation, not merely tolerance, of all religions and forbids hostility toward any," he wrote.

Tracing the history of U.S. involvement with religions­ related 'activity, Burger said members of the first Congress, approving the First Amendment, also approved the practice of having paid congressional chap­ lains. Congress and presidents also have proclaimed Christmas and Thanksgiving as national holidays with religious over­ tones.

Pawtucket by setting up the Christmas display, "has princi­ pally taken note of a significant historical religious event long celebrated in the Western world," Burger wrote. "The display is sponsored by the ci,ty to cele­ brate the holiday and to depict the origins of that holiday.

These are legitimate secular pur­ poses."

Joining with Burger in the majority opinion were Justices Byron R. White, Lewis F. Powell, William H. Rehnquist and San­ dra Day O'Connor. Justice O'­ Connor also filed a separate, con­ curring opinion.

Dissenting were Justices Wil­ liam J. Brennan, ThurgM(f Mar­ shall, Harry A. Blackmun and John P. Stevens.

In the main dissenting opinion Brennan said that precedents "compeJ the holding that Paw­ tucket's inclusion of a life-sized display depicting the 'biblical description of the birth of Christ as part of its annual Christmas celebration is unconstitutional."

TIle action "amounts to an im­ permissible governmental en­ dorsemlmt of a: particular faith," he said.

"To suggest, as the court does, that such a symbol is merely 'traditional' and therefore no different from Santa's house or reindeer is not only offensive to those for whom the creche has profound significance but in­ sulting to those who insist for religious or personal reasons that the story of Christ is in no sense a part of 'history' nor an un­ avoidable element of our nation­ al 'heritage," Brennan added.

Prayer is the fuel

By Pat' McGowan

He travels far and near to conduct missions, retreats and days of recollection.

He will be heard at the April convention of the National Cath­ olic Educational Association in Boston and at the New England General Conference for the Cath­ olic Charismatic Renewal in Providence In August.

He's pastor of a powerhouse parish with so much going on that simply belonging to it has been described as a fulltime oc­ cupation.

He's diocesan liaison to the charismatic renewal and teacher for the diocesan permanent dia­ conate training ~rp~ram.

Action characterlz'es his days.

But each begins at 4:30 a.m. with af) hour and a half of con­ templative prayer.

"No rosary or reading," said Father Robert S. Kaszynski, 50.

"Just being with the Lord."

The New Bedford-born Polish­ American, ordained in 1960, has been pastor of Fall River's St. Stanislaus Polish parish since 1966, following four years first as its associate pastor and then as administrator.

He didn't come easily to his present spirituaHty, he said. It followed a crisis of faith early in his priesthood,only resolved when he visited the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa at Jasna Gara in Poland. There, like Pope John Paul II, he found re­ freshment and guidance.

"I had been simply too busy during my first six years as a priest," he said. "I'd subscribed to the heresy that my life was my prayer."

He began his new approach to spirituality by meditating three minutes a day, he said, a practice, Tum to Page Six

WASHINGTON (NC) A new church., law requiring Cath­ olics to begin fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday at age 18 escaped the notice of quite a few U.S. bishops when they published Lenten' fast and abstinence regulations this year.

Of the first 30 diocesan papers that reached NC News in Wash­ ington from the weekend before Ash Wednesday, 10 - including four from archdioceses - car­ ried announcements which mis­ takenly said that the law of fast­ ing on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday begins binding Catholics at age 21.

The confusion arose because Canon 97 of the new Code of Canon Law, which went into ef­ fect 'last November as the gen­ eral law of the church, redefined the age of majority, or adult­ hood, in the church. Before that, people were considered adults under church law when they reached their 21st birthday, but now they are considered adults from their 18th birthday on.

Some 200 pages later in the ne~law book, Canon 1252 tells who is bound by the church laws governing abstinence from meat and fasting.

Abstinence, it says, is bind­ ing' on all those who have reach­

ed their 14th birthday. Fasting it adds, "binds those who have attained their majority, until the beginning of their 60th year."

The fact that 18-year-olds are considered adults under the new code simply slipped by the na­ tion's bishops last November when they voted to reaffirm U.S. fast and abstinence rules in light of the new code, said Father Donald Heintschel, associate

'I.S

general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

He said the NCCB secretariat sent a letter to bishops during the week before Ash Wednes­ day advising them that the new age cited in the code takes pre­ cedence and modifies the U.S. rules on the Lenten fast.

Some bishops apparently missed the letter, however, or Turn to Page Six

Kids, here '8 new excuse for not doing homework VATICAN CITY (NC) - Father Paul Tschang had never been a teacher, so he felt a bit uncomfortable when- his first student was Pope John Paul U. :Father Tschang, 33, a Korean priest studying in Rome, was given the job of teaching the pope 'the Korean language in preparation for the pontiff's visit to South Korea May 3-7.

"I felt that it was a great honor, but I also felt ill at ease" during the first hour with the pope, Father Tschang told NC News. "But the pope helped me to relax. He's very friendly, and soon I felt okay."

The priest, who gave the pontiff 10 one-hour lessons dur­ ing October and November, called the pope "a good student who is eager to learn."

But the pontiffs schedule did not allow homework.

"I asked him once whether he had time to repeat some exercises before the next class," said the priest, "but he told me that he was ·too busy to do that."

Pope reiterates

contraception ban

THE ANCHOR­ Fr.iday, March 9, 1984

Consecration liy pope set for, Mar. 25

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II called priests to greater fidelity to· the church's teachings on contraception as h'e met with Italian priests attend­ , inga seminar on natural family planning.

The pope said that he recog­ nized that priests faithful to church documents banning arti­ ficial contraception, including 'Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclicbl, "Humanae Vitae," and his own apostolic exhortation, "Famili­ aris Consortio," often must "pay a high price."

He said such priests are "of­ ten derided (and) accused of lack of understanding and of harsh­ ness ... " But he told the priests that such a fate was the Jot "of every witness to the truth."

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II will consecrate Earth to Mary during the Vati­ can's March '25 Holy Year of the 'Redemption celebration for fami­ lies. He asked the world's ,bish­ ops to join him in the action.

In the Fall River diocese the consecration wUl take place at St Mary's Cathedral at 2 p.m.

Sunday, March 18. .'

It wUl be in the context of the annual Acles ceremony of the- LegIon or'Mary, a ~ at 'which legionaries reaffinn their , eomm1tment to Mary.'

All members of the, diocese . are invited to attend the service, at which Bishop Daniel A. Cro­ will preside.

ble parenthood "is nothing ,else than that which the original plan ~of th~ creator has impressed on the .humanity of man and of woman, he said.

"It would be a grave error to conclude that the norm taught by the church (with regard to artificial contraception) is in it· self only an 'ideal' which ought then to be adapted, proportioned, scaled down, as it is said, to the concrete possibilities of man ac­ cordi~g to a 'weighing of· the various goods in question," the pope warned.

He told priests that "our pas­ toral .charity towards spous,es consists in being always available to offer them pardon for their sins through the sacrament of penance, not in diminishing in their eyes the greatness and the dignity of their conjugal love."

CAPE TOWN, South' Africa The South African government has moved to review two of its most disputed race laws, the Immorality Act and the Mixed Marriages Act. Cardinal Owen McCann of Cape Town is among leaders who urged repeal of the laws after Prime Minister Pieter Botha had asked for feed­ back on them in 1980. The 1949 Immorality Act made sex or at­ tempted sexual acts between whites and non-whites punish­ able by imprisonment; the 1957 Mixed Marriages Act forbids marriage between whites and non-whites.

The scanty meals are, for the first week of Lent, vegetable soup, toast and water, the sec­ ond week, a cheese sandwich, salad and water; the third week, an omelette, toast and water.

The fourth week, rice and beans, salad and water; the fifth week, lentil soup,' bread and water; ,the sixth week, yogurt, fruit and water.

The Rice Bowl project, say its organizers, "brings new meaning to the traditional Lenten themes of prayer, penance and alms­ giving. I\s we fast or eat reduced meals, we pray and reflect on the plight of the world's hungry, bec9Jming more conscious of our own abundance.

"Meal savings contributed by our family become a concrete ex­ pression of our concern for cre­ ating a more peaceful world by addressing the needs of thoSe who suffer the .jnjustices of poverty and hunger.

Educational Rights and Freedoms' The governor of the Commonwealth is initiating ex­ tensive measures to reform public education in the state.

But in all his discussions of the matter, he has yet to refer to a basic principle of. education. He is attempting' to up­ grade curriculum, teaching staff and overall incentive pro­ grams, but he has faile~ to' make meaningful reference to the constituticmal right of choice of parents.

Once more, parents wh~ opt for this right are ignore<;l and indeed penalized .by way of our inequitable tax .system.

t

yvhile .we commend efforts to improve tax-supported edueation, we equally ~bhor attempts to ignore the parental ~ght of' choice in this' area.

.'!'

Once more we wish·to spell out quite clearly the teach:' ings to which we refer. Parents have the original; primary and inalienable right to educate their children. They have a right to do this in conformity with their religious and moral convictions. They have a right to choose' schools that will educate their children in keeping with those convi.ctions.

In this regard, government should ensure that public subsidies are so allocated that parents are truly free,to exer­ cise these rights without incurring extra charges ,effectively denying or limiting their freedom of choice.

In matters of school reform, it should also be no.ted and underlined. that parents have the right to ensure that their children are not compelled to attend classes not in agreement with their own moral and religious convic;tions.

Such courses as sex education should be taught under close parental supervision. Even some Catholics would dis­ agree in this matter, but parental rights are indeed violated by a system of state-mandated education from ,which, reli­. gious formation is excluded. Such rights ,override the ex­ ,traneous considerations usually brought forward in dis­ cussion of the separation bf church and state. ~

,

~~

Attempts to upgrade public education should not before the fact exclude some of those whose tax dollars help finance that education. To make every effort to reverse the present downward course of public education is indeed the task of ,every citizen.'

But it is more' than 'unfair to exclude from the benefits of this process parents and children who in good conscience are availing themselves of the options given, them by the Constitution~

·,U.S.. aid cuts scor·ed

By Je"'¥ Valteau WASHINGTON (NC) - The Reagan administration's decision to cut contributions to the In­ ternational Development Asso­ ciation is "tragic" and should be reversed, Archbishop .Oscar H. .Lipscomb of. Mobile, Ala., told two congressional panels. .

His comments, whiCh tied the issue to the U.S. bishops' 1983 pastoral'letter on war and peace, came in testimony before recent hearings of subcommittees of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Bank­ 'jng Committee: Testifying on behalf of the U.S. Catholic Conference, the archbishop said the Reagan ad­ ministration had stood alone among world governments in demanding that IDA funding for the next three years be reduced from $4 billion to $3 billion each year.. The United States is to contribute' one-fourth of the total.

Citing moral and practical reasons, the archbishop urged restoratlOil of U.S. contributions to IDA. to the level of $1 billion a year instead of holding them to the $750 miilion a year sub­ mitted to Congress 'by the' Rea­ gan administration.

By ,doing this, the United States would make an additional $3 billion available for develop­ ment of the 'world's poorest na­ tions over the' next three years, he said. .

In his testimony Archbishop Lipscomb quoted several times . from the bishops' pastoral. He cited its teachings on world in­ ~erdependence, on the need for a "just world order" and on the 0

duty' of the rich nations to help the poor as the moral basis for the bishops' concern' about U.S: foreign aid policy.

"We believe that, it is tragic that the United States should be the nation chiefly responsible for reducing the funds available to the poorest countries," the archbishop commented.

The IDA, a World Bank or­ ganization makes loans at favorable rates to' poor nations unable to obtain loans on the regular international markets.

More than 80 percent of those loans go to development pro­ grams in nations where annual per capita income is under $400.

When IDA members met last year to plan the seventh three­ year round of contributions to replenish IDA funds, .other donor countries sought to main­ tain contributions at the current level of $12 billion over the three-year span, but the Reagan administration insisted oli the lower figure. The U.s. portion :of contri-butions has dropped from 42 percent when IDA was established in the early 1960s to' 27 percent in the current three-year cycle and 25 percent in .the approaching cycle.

Archbishop Lipscomb argued' that it is not only a moral mat­ ter but highly' practical for the United States to concentrate its foreign aid. on multilateral agencies .rather than itself pr:o­ viding direct aid.

As an example he cited the adminstration's proposal to spend $75 milIion in the 1985 fiscal year as the first install­ ment of a five-year, $500-milIion U.S. "economic policy initiative"

in the drought-stricken sub­ Sahara region of Africa.

"If the United States, instead of proposing this bilateral pro­ gram, had simply added this $75 million to' IDA, it would have generated an additional $225 million in other donor contribu­ tions," he said. .

A hallmark of the Reagan ad­ ministration's foreign aid policy, repeatedly challenged by. the USCC, had been to reduce U.S. to multilateral contributions agencies' and increase bilateral programs in order to use for­ eign aid as a more direct tool of political influence.

He offered several reasons for multilateralism, among them that. such aid "is more likely to be free from political considera­ tions and is at least equally ef­ fective in promoting economic development" and that the size and expertise. of multilateral agencies allows them to be more ~ffective in promoting Third World development.

The testimony by Archbishop Lipscomb, a member of the usec's Committee. for Social Development and World Peace, 'was the first time that the USCC placed teachings of the war and peace pastoral before Congress to explain its position on a pub­ lic policy issue.

The archbishop noted that public attention to the letter has focused chiefly on its judgments concerning nuclear weapons policies.

But the pastoral's section on "Shaping a Peaceful World," he said, reflects church teaching on requirements of international justice;

Here are some questions we can ask ourselves: ' 1. Do we exercise quality con­

trol on what 'both we and our children view or do we just monitor what the children view?

2. Do we ,make moral judge­ ments and comments on scenes and behavbrs contrary to our value system? 3. Do we ever call or write the FCC or TV sta­ tions when we are unhappy with attractively presented immoral­ ity?

4. When did we last contact our political representatives about issues like abortion, pore' nography, and Dial-a-Porn? 5.

Do we allow dirty jokes in our family conversations? 6. Do we have the courage to stand up for good wholesome entertainment or do we capitulate to what's be­ ing offered figuring that we are helpless in combatting it?

7. Have we ever listened closely to, the lyrics our children' listen to every day and do we ban certain records because of their lyrics or covers? 8. Are we leaving it to some~ody else to clean up our lusty environment?

Father Heintschel noted that any Catholics aged 18-20 who were misinfonned about the fasting law should not be troubled if they missed the Ash Wednesday fast, because they were "operating in good faith."

One principle of church law, he said, is that "one is obliged by the law as interpreted by the .pastor," namely the bishop. If the bishop makes a mistake, he added, "it's up to him to make . the correction."

The archbishop said the prac­ tice directly offends the human being, erodes the. dignity of matrimony and leaves important questions unanswered.

A major concern, he said, is identification of the child's real parents. The archbishop said he doubted whether the law could satisfactorily answer such a question and thus should not ap­ prove a "process, which in itself causes uncertainty• The Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne was one of the first to develop in vitro fer­ tilization, sometimes using eggs transplanted from one woman to another.

I' i

I

I stand on the threshold of nature's eternity entranced by the rushing waters.

The mist from the falls rises and I am baptized as it touches me.

The sun catches this mist and a rainbow appears, its magic spreading smiles to many lonely hearts.

Night' falls and the colored lights dance upon the bound· ing water as a ballerina on the stage and the children cry no longer as they are captured! by the spell; No man can look upon these glorious falling waters without losing his mask of incompassion, for this is nature's creation, these white waters that take your breath away and fill your heart with the joy of living.

Does anyone need to ask, . is that rainbow. God's smile as He gives love to man?

cardinal explaills himself

CHICAGO (NC) - Following is the text of a column written

by Cardinal JosephL.. Bernar­ din of Chicago explaining a speech last. December at Ford­ ham University., The column ap­ peared in the Chicago Catholic, Chicago's archdiocesan news­ paper. ·Back in pecember I gave an address at Fordham University which received, a great deal of attention here and nationally.

Among other things, I spoke of the need. to articulate and de­ fend a "eonsistent ethic of life" on issues ranging from abortion I to nuclear war.

I am glad my remarks have evoked so much comment. I am glad, too, that much of the com­ ment has been favorable and supportive - not to me person: ally, but to the views I tried to express. For I was seeking to apply the church's teaching on the sanctity of life to a number of pressing contemporary con­ cerns. .

Candidly, though, some of the comments I have received re­ flect a certain confusion about what I was trying to say. To. some extent that may be my fault - perhaps I was not as clear and precise on all points as I should have been. But to some extent, too,' the root of the confusion may lie elsewhere.

Here I want to deal with .some of the points which have crop­ ped up in the ·discussion of my remarks. My purpose is not to rebut critics but to' contribute to the dialogue on some very im­ portant matters.

To begin with, at Fordham I was not making a policy state­ ment for the Catholic bishops. I was speaking for myself. At the same time, what I said was con­ sistent with much that the bish­ ops have said and done, individ­ ually and collectively, as well as with the teaching of the Holy Father. In that sense I was not laying. out a new position but calling attention to widely held convictions.

At least since 1972, for ex­ ample, when the National Con­ ference 9f Catholic Bishops ini­ tiated' its Respect Life program, the confererice has regularly ad­

dressed a broad range of "life" issues; pr~cisely because there is linkage among' them. That­ -linkage arises from the sacred­ ness of human life' and our re: sponsib"ility to protect and' pre­ serve life; To say issues are linked, of course, is not the same as say­ ing they are identical. I agree that the issues I treated at Ford­ ham are different - both in terms of the moral analysis one might make of them and the strategies' one might use in ad­ dressing them. I stated this clear­ ly in the taik itself.

Still. I am convinced that it is right and necessary .for bishops, as moral and .religious teachers, to present a moral vision em­ bracing these issues. I am further convinced that more must be. done to develop and present such ~ vision than has been done up to now. Logically, it seems to me, the likenesses among rela­ ted issues must be made clear before the distinctions are spell­ ed out.

Two obvious examples are abortion and nuclear warfare.

Abortion, the direct taking of innocent life, is intrinsically evil and must be categorically con­ demned. Furthermore, the state should protect unborn human life through its laws and policy.

On the other hand, the various questions pertaining to nuclear warfare are often complex.. The teaching of the church, includ-, ing the teaching set· forth in the U.S. bishops' nuclear pastoral, makes it clear that we must con­ demn the use .of nuclear or other weapons of mass slaughter for the purpose of destroying popu­ Jation centers or other predom­ inantly noncombatant targets.

But when it comes to such matters as the initiation of nu­ clear war 'and the merits of a "no-first-use" pledge, whether it is possible to confine the use of nuclear weapons within morally acceptable limits, whether and how deterrence can be morally justified, then reasonable people, working within the framework of Catholic teaching, can and do differ in their conclusions be­ cause of differences concerning facts and. their evaluation of the

facts.

Possibly the most unf()rtunate misinterpretation of my remarks is the suggestion that they re­ flect a failure to appreciate tqe significance of abortion and closely related issues .\ike infan­ ticide and euthanasia. That is not the case. I agree with one correspondent, who pointed out in a recent letter that abortion is "not a potential threat, as is nuclear warfare, but a holocaust ,now realized and probably un­ derestimated," For that reason I further agree that abortion demands priority attention.

Finally, I feel a need to clarify one statement in 'particular which I made in my' add~ess: "Those who defend the right to life of the weakest among us must be equally visible in sup­ port of the quality of life of the powerless among us," Some seem to have inter­ preted this as a criticism of their own more or less exclusive em­ phasis on "pro-life" concerns.

That was not my meaning. As a churchman speaking to a Cath­ olic university audience, I was trying primarily to describe a task of the church itself.

The church is often under pressure - from both ends of the secular political spectrum ­ to restrict its focus to one cluster of political issues or another.

But the church cannot conscien­ tiously do that. Possessing a comprehensive vision of human life and destiny, it must address the spectrum of human concerns and show how they fit into that vision.

Individuals and particular groups can and rightly should emphasize particular issues in their own activities. But in do­ ing so, they should at least acknowledge all the elements of the church's vision and reflect on their own role in relation to it. Each of us necessarily has his own agenda - the commitments where he believes he can make the greatest contribution to the good 'of all. But none of us can deny the right· and duty of the church to hold and propose a moral vision which embraces the totality of moral concerns.

Priest lauds 'bubble boy'

CONROE, Texas (NC) ­ David, the 12-year-old boy whose lack of natural immunity to disease kept him in a sterile bubble for most of his life, lived so fuIly that he challenged everyone to emulate him, said Father Laurence Connelly, the priest who celebrated his-funeral Mass Feb. 25.

David, whose last name was never disclosed to protect his family's privacy, lived almost all his life in a sterile environment because of severe combined im­ mune deficiency syndrome which left him wlnerable to disease.

He died of heart failure Feb. 22 at Texas Children's Hospital after 'the failure of an experi­ mental bone marrow transplant which doctors hoped would cure him. , At the MaSs of Christian Bur­ ial at Sacred Heart Church in Conroe Feb. 25 Father Connelly said, "To those who measure life by production, this life was a total and complete waste. But to those who measure life by giving and receiving, David's life was one of the fullest I've ever known.

Priests renew vows in Rome

VATICAN CITY (NC) - An­ swering the questions of Pope John Paul II, 4,000 men from dozens of countries recently re­ newed their promises to be dedi­ cated and hard-working priests.

The renewal took place at a Holy Year Mass in' St. Peter's Basilica which was the. capstone of a three-day celebration for priests, deacons and seminari­ ans.

One of the questions the pope asked in Latin was: "Do you wish to unite yourselves inti­ mately to the Lord Jesus, the

model for our priesthood, re­ nouncing yourselves and con­ firming the tasks which, impell­ ed by love, you have freely as­ sumed on behalf of his church?"

"I do" was the reply from rows and rows of priests gathered in Catholicism's big­ gest church.

"We are more necessary than ever, because 'Christ is more necessary than ever," said the pope. "Nobody can take our place.

"Let us open our eyes ever wider - the eyes of our soul ­

in order to understand better what it means to celebrate the Eucharist, the sacrifice of Christ himself, entrusted to our priest­ ly lips and hands in the com­ munity of the church," he said.

He also asked priests to pay more attention to the sacrament­ of penance and to feel· confident that Christ is working through them.

"It is he who goes about all the cities and villages wherever we are sent in order to perform our priestly and pastoral service," the pope said.

Templeton Prize to Anglican priest

NEW YORK (NC) - The Re..•.

Michael Bourdeax, an English Anglican priest who founded the Center for the Study of Religion and Communism, is the 1984 winner of the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion.

Mr. Bourdeaux will receive the prize, which includes nearly a quarter of a million dollars, at a ceremony in London May 15, according to an announcement made by the Templeton Founda­ tion in New York.

In announcing the award the foundation said, "Michael 'Bour­ deaux' has stabbed awake the consicience of comfortable West­ ern Christians."

A foundation spokesman said Mr. Bourdeaux "has also high­ lighted the suffering of those in exHe, prison or psychiatric hos­ pitals and has given a strong in­ Jection of hope to those who have shown the costly witness to the truth."

Mr. Bourdeaux, who was born in Cornwall, England, is a grad­ uate of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, and was an exchang~ student at the Mo~cow State' University.

Since hi~ ordination in 1960 he has devoted his ministry to help­ ing Christians in Eastern-bloc countries establish a network with Christians in Qther coun-

tries and to calling attention to Eastern Christians who are be­ ing persecuted.

The Templeton Prize was founded in 1972 by John M. Templeton, a Presbyterian lay­ man. It was. first presented in

1973 to Mother Teresa of Cal­

cutta.

Other recipients have included Cardinal Leon Joseph Suenens of· Malines-Brussels, Belgium; the Rev. Billy Graham; and Alek­ sandr Solzhenitsyn.

TUCSON, Ariz. (NC) - Con­ struction of the first television station in the United States to be owned and operated by a Catholic diocese has begun in the Diocese of Tucson.

KDru-TV, which is ,intended to provide "attractive alterna­ tive television," is scheduled to go on the air in September, broadcasting family and child­ ren's entertainment, news and educational, religious and biling­ ual programs.

Station facilities will inClude a l,200-square-foot main studio, a conference room and a land­ scaped patio wired as an ex­ terior setting, as well as com­ plete radio and TV production facilities_ . Offices of the diocesan news­ paper, Arizona Catholic Life­ time, and the diocesan bureau of information will also be 'located in the new building, estimated to cost $1.3 million.

"The so-called heresy of Gali­ leo does not seem to have any foundation, neither theologically nor under canon 1~\V," said Mario d'Addio in L'Osservatore Ro­ mano, the Vatican daily news­ paper. '0' Addio is a member of a commission established by Pope John Paul II to look into

the conviction.

D'Addio said in a signed arti­ cle that in declaring the scientist a heretic, the court exceeded its authority.

In 1983, the pope told a group of scientists that the Galileo af­ fair had led the church "to a more mature attitude and to a more accurate grasp of the au­ thority proper to her."

Galileo's thesis that the sun is the center of the universe was thought by many in the 11th century church to contradict a literal interpretation of Scrip­ ture that the sun moved around Earth and the theological be­ lief in the centrality of humans as 'redeemed by Christ.

Galileo right, Vatican wrong VATICAN CITY (NC) - A Vatican court was wrong when it called the scientist Galileo a heretic, according to a member of the Vatican commission set up to review the. 1633 condemna­ tion.

Galileo, an Italian mathema­ tician, inventor, astronomer and physicist of the 'late 16th and early 17th century, was con­ demned by the Roman inquisi­ tion for teaching that the sun was the center of the' universe and that ,Earth revolved around it.

Catholic survey summarizes Hart's, new ideas'

By Liz Armstrong

WASHINGTON (NC) - Demo­ cratic Sen. Gary Hart's yictory in the New Hampshire primary focuses attention on the 47-year-~ old Coloradan who is running a campaign of "new ideas."

These aren't necessarily his new ideas, he says, but a fresh look at suggestions made by others over the years.

What are Hart's ideas on such • issues as nuclear weapons, 'abor­ tion, the death penalty, farm policy, education a'n~ other topics of interest to Americans, Catholic voters included?

A look at the senator's re­ ': sponses to a candidate's survey conducted by the Iowa Catholic , Conference earlier this year pro­ ,' 'vides glimpses, of his perspective: Nuclear Arms control: ' , "I support a bilaterally nego­ tiated fully verifiable freeze on "produCtion and deployment, of new strategic systems,'" Hart told the Iowa Catholic Confer­ ence.

Hart also stated he favors congressionallY!Dandated "Stra­ tegic Talks on Prevention" which would go beyond ~ freeze; a "build-down" of, weapons under which two older nuclear weapons would be destroyed for every new one put in place; a ban on testing, production and deploy­ ment of anti-satellite weapons; '

and establishment of a crisis control center jointly staffed by the superpowers to prevent the possibility of nuclear war occurring through accident 'or mishap. ' "Build-down" proposals have been criticized by some anti­ nuclear activists who contend., they would only substitute more effective weapons for obsolete' models, ,even if there is ,a nu: merical reduction.

Tuition tax credits: "I oppose the tuition tax credits proposal out of concern for both public' school children and the taxpayers," he said.

Hart termed tuition tax credits "bad 'edu~ation policy and bad economic policy" and, saJd that "we cannot in good conscience ' divert the shrinking federal dpl­ lar from the public school sys­ tem."

Abortion: 'Hart told Iowa Catholics that he "must refer to the Supr~me Court's Roe v. Wade decision" and,that "although I am person­ ally opposed to abortion, I feel that the issue is primarily a' pri­ vate matter of personal choice and not one that can be effec­ tively and sensitively handled through 'legislation."

The National Right to Life, Committee has described his voting record on abortion as

having "straight ieroes all the J way across." ' . Human rights and Central America:

Yale in 1964: He now reportedly attends Presbyterian churches.

In New Hampshire, according to polls, Hart was backed 'by in­ dependents, well-educated, weal­ thy Democrats and others. ' He is described as shy and perhaps some of his appeal stems from that. According to a pre­ New Hampshire profile on Hart in the Washington Post, the candidate wanted to woo voters at a breakfast stop but had to be goaded in to handing out his campaign literature - he did not think people would want their breakfasts interrupted by a politician.

Francly, it's a 'my~tery have repaid them. he said.

The priest said he was in­ volved in a similar incident sev­ eral years ago, when Archbishop John, Quinn of San Francisco was archbishop of Oklahoma City.

A man wearing a ski mask ran to the east door of the arch­ ,bisops's residence on three sep­ arate occasions and 'left a total of 40 $100 bills with the note "To Archbishop John Quinn for the poor."

In each instance the masked man made his "getaway" in a Volkswagen bug.

Bliz~ard baby'll have some story JOLIET, 111. (NC) - A con­ vent infirmary for retired nuns doubled as a delivery room dur­ ing last month's blizzard when 10-foot snowdrifts prevented David and Christine Heal from getting to a hospital for the birth of their son.

Seven-pound Richard Chester Heal ,was born shortly after his parents reached the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart Con­ vent in Mokena, about 15 miles west of Joliet.

'He was placed in a makeshift incubator - a cardboard box lined with aluminum foil.

Excitement filled the convent, which houses about 40 retired nuns. "We all prayed that things would go well," said, Franciscan Sister Josepha Zurhoefer, one of the convent's administrators.

Richard's parents, had at­ tempted to reach St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, with the assistance of fire and rescue squads and the highway depart­ ment, but 40-mile-an-hour winds whipping snow into huge drifts

made passage impossible.

After the couple reached the convent a doctor got to it by snowmobile. He was assisted at Richard's delivery by the infirm­ ary's supervising nurse.

Several hours later,' an ambu­ lance tried again to move the Heals to the hospital. But the ambulance, on its way to pick up the family, hit the snowplow it was following, loosening wires which left it without heat.

The Heals spent the night at 'the convent 'and finally were transferred to the hospital' the next day.
