• Holocaust memorIes 'By NC News Service On April 11, 1945, the U.S. Army's 104th Timberwolf Division dispatched its medi cal battalion to deliver assis tance to a little camp about 60 miles southwest of Berlin. "We came ,upon a world of such horror and tragedy," said Dominican Father Ed ward Paul Doyle, the Catholic chaplain whose division lib erated Nordhausen, a subcamp of -the infamous Buchenw~ld. Father Doyle, 77, a native of St. Patrick's parish, Fall River, who ·is now chaplain at Summit Medical Center in ,Providence, was. interviewed in conjunction with 40th an niversary commemorations of the Hber-ation of the concen tration camps. Nationwide "Days of Re membrance" were held ~ast week, culminating in an April 21 "Evening of Remembrance" in Philadelphia bringing ,to gether Hberators and survi vors .of the camps. The events were sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Mem orial Council, established by Congress in 1980 to coordinate Holocaust remembrance acti vities. There were about 1,000 sur vivorsat ,the Nordhausen camp, Father Doyle recalled. "But they were just barely alive." "After we took care of the 'living, we buried about 5,000 bodies on a hiH outside the tow~ all mutilated, beaten and starved skeletons . . .

"We went into town and rounded' up ablebodied men to come and help us bury them. They said they were unaware of the goings-on. at the death camp," Father Doyle said. The priest said that he him self had no idea what to ex pect before arriving at Nord hausen,. 'Many people blame God for allowing -the Holocaust to hap pen, Father Doyle said, but '~e sees it as a "tragic failure of man." "It isn't God who failed," he said, "it's man who failed." Every year Father Doyle at tends a reunion of the 104th 'Division, which always in cludes a memorial service for the thousands of persons div ision members buried at Nord hausen. The Dominican, ordained in 1939, is a graduate of Durfee High School, Fall River, and Prcfvidence College. He holds a master's degree from Cath olic University and a doctorate in pastoral theology from the Aquinas Institute. He has ,taught at six Cath olic coHeges, was director of the School of Catholic Studies at the University of Virginia ·Catholic Center 'and f~r one year held an appointment as a research fellow at Yale Uni versity School of Divinity. Now in semi-retirement, he' is available daily -to patients at the Providence medical center and frequently visits the Fall River diocese.

The new cardinal-designate has served in various ecumenical posts, including executive direc-. tor of the bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Af fairs. Cardinal.designate O'Connor, 65, . is a native of Philadelphia and' spent most of his priestly life in the military chaplaincy before he was named archbishop of New York last year. Ordained a priest of the Arch diocese of Philadelphia in 1945, he became a Navy chaplain in 1952, rising to rear ·admiral and Navy chief of chaplains in 1975. In 1979 he retired from the Navy when Pope John Paul made him

an auxiliary bishop of the U.S. Military Vicariate, and in June 1983 he was installed as bishop of Scranton, Pa. Only seven months later he was named to succeed Cardinal Terence Cooke as archbishop of New York. Also among those named was Archbishop Miguel Obando Bravo of Managua, Nicaragua, a strong critic of the Marxist-in fluenced Sandinista government. It was the first time that the head of any Nicaraguan diocese has been named a cardinal: Another Latin American named by the pope was Arch bishop Juan Francisco Fresno Larrain of Santiago, Chile, a·

strong critic of the military gov ernment which has ruled Chile since 1973. Santiago has been traditionally headed by a cardinal and the naming gives Chile two cardinals,including the former head of the Santiago Archdio cese, Cardinal Raul Silva Hen riquez, 77. In announcing the consistory,

Asking support of the annual Catholic Charities Appeal in a letter read at 'all Masses this past weekend, Bishop Daniel A. Cro nin calleo on diocesan Catholics to aid "Christ's sheep who a,re homeless, hungy, 'lonely, aged, orphaned, emotionally and men tally ill, abandoned by our so ciety. These stand as a challenge to us who believe that Christ is our good Shepherd, that God has a boundless love. Yet, some of our brothers and sisters in the Lord are put to the .test by life conditions which are heyond their control. It is to these that the Good Shepherd urges us to go out and be signs of his infin ite love and mercy. He asks us to pattern our lives on His life by laying down our lives for these neglected sheep of His flock." The bishop noted that the cru· cia.) house-to-house phase of the Appeal wiH take place Sunday, May 5, when 20,150 volunteer parish solicitors will visit over 114,000 diocesan homes between noon and 3 p.m. Parishioners have received contribution cards and it is hoped that they will be at home during the designated hours to receive the solicitors. The parish phase will close on May 15. Each parish will be contacted by its area director next Sunday night for a report on the house to-house visitation, said Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, diocesan Appeal director. He said the Ap peal will close its books on the 1985 campaign at 1 p.m. May 24 and that both special gift and parish contributions may be made until that time.

Once More wnth Heart Each year at this time, 6ur diocese seeks financial support for its many charitable undertakings. In a time when there are so many and such varied demands for help, the charitable work of the church takes on greater importance than ever. Cutbacks in federal and local aid pro grams have brought many people to the private sector to find the help once readily available in the marketplace; and as we all know, there is little hope in the foreseeable futu~e fo~ change in this trend.. The enormous and daily increasing federal deficit is going to be with us for a long time. The implications of this are far from optimistic and the situation is.unlikely to improve until deficit spending and financial responsibility become priorities with our elected officials. In the meantime, those who have depended on the largess of federal give-away programs now see themselves as deprived and dispossessed. The many who took the bounty of Uncle Sam as a fact of life are now trying to cope with austerity and rigor. Some, in fact, just can't'make ends meet. Among the truly deserving who need government aid simply to survive, the effects offederal cutbacks have been more than critical. Many of those affected have nowhere to go but the private realm. For most, this means local churches or charita ble organizations. But monthly the demands made on such groups are increasingly difficult to meet. To the surprise of more than a few, the church does 'not posse~s unlimited resources. That is why here in this diocese, the local church must reach out to seek the support of the total community. Catholic Charities is not an in-house fund. As it serves the needs of all, regardless of religion or ethnic origin, .it acts to lighten the tax load of all and thus is more than deserving of reinforcement by . the public at large. . We also often fail to realize that the institutions supported by the Catholic Charities Appeal provide hundreds ofjabs for the communities they serve. Thus monies raised by the Appeal are in large part returned to the community by those employed by our many diocesan institutions. In this ligh~ Catholic Chari ties is indeed a valuable community asset. Yet beyond this, we should view Catholic Charities as a special effort to serve others with heart. In a world that grows daily more impersonal, people are· in danger of losing their individuality. The computer age deals with us as mere print outs: our name means little; our social security number every thing. A credit card standing is worth farmore t,han its bearer. Consequently, when it comes to dealing with those in need, too many treat them as faceless people. So very often attempts to help lack the human touch. , But Catholic Charities seeks to, maintain that human touch. People are not seen as mere objects; rather, every-effort is made to let them know they are somebody. People ,are special. In time of need, they.'are very special. , As Catholics, we believe that humanity h,as been touched by divinity. The Lord came as one of us and lif~ed up mankind. He healed and restored our condition; he did not reject or refuse it. It is in this spirit that we should support this year's Catholic , Charities Appeal, realizing that those who generously give of their time as collectors are indeed doing a positive'deed to help their brothers and sisters. Those who share what the Lord has given them should view their gifts as efforts to implement the Lord's ministry. Those who receive should be thankful for men and women who care and share.

Handling parents

Hi, kids. I know I don't write much for you but that's my mistake and I apologize. One of you asked me recently to write something on how to get along with parents who get mad all the time. So here goes. I. When parents are unreason able, don't try to reason with them. Smile and agree. It makes them think, feel embarrassed, maybe even guilty. 2. When parents are reason able - that is, they give all kinds of reasons for a rule or a decision - listen to them till they finish. Then take each reason at a time and give your reason for disagree ing. They won't know how to deal with this because they expect you to interrupt, get angry or be dis respectful (like they do). This means, of course, you have to have some pretty good reasons of your own or you're the unreasonable one. 3. When parents get mad, it isn't the time to get mad back. A lot of times they're not mad at you but at their boss, the mailman, or gro cery costs. You just happen to be there at the wrong time. Look hurt. Slump in your chair and look up at them with pitiful eyes. Let your eyes water a little, if you can.. (Practice this). 4. If this doesn't work, get out of the way when they're in a, bad mood. They need some time and

space alone (you know how that is). Eventually they will settle down and miss you. 5. Parents are unfair at times. This is tough on kids. Wait until they're in a good mood., Then say something like, "You know when you said I always lose your scis sors? Well, I don't think that's fair. Dad lost them last week and you didn't say anything to him." It makes parents. think. 6. Sometimes it's good to write a note. Go to your room and write a note like this: "I didn't mean to make you mad (or lose your scis sors). I'll try harder because I love you. I'm sorry. Love, John. "Put it on their pillow. Parents are push overs for notes like this and they'll keep them forever. 7. Take your mom or dad out alone occasionally. Tell them you want to go on a walk with them all alone. They'll be worried at first because they'll think you're going to tell them' something terrible. Don't. Just tell them you like hav ing them all to yourself once in awhile. They'll probably cry or hug you. Put up with it. When you're in real trouble with your parents and can't seem to do anything right, write to your grandparents. Don't talk about your parents and your troubles just about school and stuff. But seal the letter and put it where your parents will see it. It will either please them that you're

writing to your grandparents or worry them about what you wrote. Either way, they will be nicer to you.

9. If you know you're going to be in trouble, come in crying and say, "I don't know how to tell you this but..." and shake a little. It changes them from being mad to feeling sorry for you. 10. When your mom and dad are fighting, go away, even though you want to listen to them. Sooner or later they'll get mad at you, for listening if nothing else. _, II. Even though it's fun to fight with your brother, parents hate it, especially if they're tired. So go somewhere else to fight. 12. Surprise your parents by doing something they don't make you do. They'll tell everyone you are the best possible kid to have and they'll believe it.

13. Be patient with parents. Re member, they're going through a rough time in their lives and are trying to grow up, too. Help them to do it smoothly and with love. Someday they'll thank you.

More important, the duplication of a national study, where no study has been conducted before, creates a heretofore un known educational experience. A parish or diocese can study itself and learn what might promote or hinder its growth. As with all stu dies, the effort may generate hope. Today, many national studies are generated from questionnaires which took months to develop. The questions have been tested and proven. And the entire study need not be duplicated from these questionnaires. Just a few well chosen questions are needed to create a good diocesan or parish study.

Some parents say they don't like the way the parish is run; a number of parents wouldn't encourage their children to consider any vocation, let alone the religious life.

What do

we know

of hell?

Q. What does the church think hell is like? Have things changed about that too? Is it true that some theologians don't believe in hell anymore? (Pennsylvania) A. I'm not sure I understand your question. You ask whether the church has "changed" its beliefs about hell. Changed from what? Many popular conceptions about hell - that it is a place of bizarre and excruciating torture by fire or whatever other means - have never been taught as doctrine by the church. The Bible uses much symbolic language in both the Old and New Testaments about punishment for sin, but picturesque details are not and never were part of Christian dogma about hell. Many misconceptions of the past few hundred years resulted from the fertile imaginations of medi eval artists who gave us some very lurid pictures of the devil and his kingdom. The church still teaches, as it always has, that human beings can, by their deliberate choice, turn themselves off from God and say1io to his invitation to friend ship and life by a radical selfish ness which effectively closes them off from others and from God himself. This alienation from divine love, especially if it should be eter nal in its consequences, would bear its own form of regret, pain and unfulfillment. ., Regarding the last part of your question, I know of no theologian of any stature who doesn't believe that eternal alienation from God is possible. A number might ask, however, considering the power and evident u'niversal intention of the saving work of Jesus in bring ing the redemptive mercy of God ,to the world, whether anyone has in fact so conclusively and totally rejected God's love as to "lose his soul. " Again,. we simply don't know. Q. I read in a national magazine about a Catholic priest who is also a Zen Buddhist. Unless I'm wrong, Buddhism is a non-Christian reli gion. How in the'world can a priest be Buddhist? (Massachusetts) A. I suspect the article didn't really say the priest was a Zen Buddhist. It probably said he was a follower or disciple of Zen, which is entirely different. . The name Zen primarily desig nates a school of meditation which has proven helpful not only to people of the East but to Wes terners. It is quite possible for a person to be a Catholic priest and practice this form of meditatio.n. Since Zen rose out of Buddhism it is often identified with that reli gion. Many Buddhist religio~s be liefs are, ofcourse, contradictory o

to Christian faith, so you are right in assuming that no one can be a Buddhist and at the same time a Christian. Q. I am a teacher who gets a lot of questions about Scripture. One of my class pointed out that the Book of Exodu!l says, "I the Lord your God am a jealous God inflict ing punishment for their father's wickedness on tine children ofthose who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation." Does this mean my son and his children will be punished for what I do? (Texas) A. One of the fascinating themes ofthe Bible is the gradual purifica tion and elevation of mankind's understanding of God and of humanity's relationship with God that it depicts. This is true even among the Jew ish people from Abraham to Christ. More than once, for example, we read how Hebrew armies annihi lated their enemies, men, women, children, and even animals. This was said to be done with the bless ing and sometimes at the com mand of God. Today we would find such slaugh ter thoroughly at odds with every Christian principle. A similar development occurs in the subject you mention. Among many cultures, including the an cient Jews, a theory prevailed that guilt and innocence, holiness and sin, were tribal. If the patriarch sins, all the tribe are enemies of God; if he is good, the tribe shares his holiness, regardless of individ ual behaviors. Denial of such tribal identity occurs more frequently as time goes on in the Old Testament. Perhaps the most dramatic refuta tion is that of the prophet Ezekiel, whose awarenesss of the infinite holiness of God is unsurpassed. Before we too easily judge such ancient ideas harshly, we might ask ourselves how often we have heard people remark in the face of a tragedy to a loved one, "What have I done to deserve this?" Unfortunately we still tend to make God in OUf own image and likeness, which may be the reason the image of a vengeful God dies very slowly in the human heart.

VATICAN CITY ~C) - The kiHing of 6 million Jews showed the Nazis' 'lack of faith in God and ,their failure .to see other people as part of the human family, Pope John Paul II said to participants in a Catholic-Jewish conference April -19. "The catastrophe which so "cruelly decimated the Jewish people grew from an "absence of ,faith in God,". he .said. The Holocaust, .the term for the Nazi extermination campaign, showed "the abyss into which mankind can faU when we do not acknow ledge other people as brothers and sisters," he said. 'Let us pray that it will never happen again," the pope said the day after Yom Hashoah, the day in the Jewish religious calendar set aside to remember Holocaust victims. The pope spoke during an , au~ienceat the Vatican with par ticipants In a Rome meeting commemorating the 20th anni versary of the Second Vatican Council's Decla·ration on the Relation of the Church to Non Christian Religions. The Judaism section encourages Catholic Jewish diaiogue and says there is no basis in Christian theology (or anti-Semitism. The pope asked Catholics and Jews to follow the declaration's advice to get to know each other better as individuals and as mem bers of their respective religions. "Such seems to be the proper way to dispel prejudices," he added. The April 17-18 meeting to commemorate the declaration's anniversary was sponsored by. the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'·rith, Franciscan Friars of the Atonement and the theology department of the Pontifical An gelicum University. Cardinal Johannes Wille brands, president of the Vatican Commission for Religious Rela tions With the Jews, in an April 17 speech at the meeting urged Catholic universities to increase their h'iring of Jewish teachers tc t~ach Judaism. "Judaism can only be taught 'adequa~ely by' Jews. Jewish sources are their heritage and the air they breathe," said Car dinal Willebrands. The cardinal also encouraged formal links between Catholic and Jewish 'academic and re search institutions. To commemorate the 20th, an niversary of the council declara tion, the Vatican plans ,to pub lish this year guidelines for priests on how to discuss Juda ism in preaching and teaching, Cardinal WiJ.Iebrands said. He called anti-Semitism a

Marriage law· change called meaningless By NC News Service The Southern African Catholic Bishops' Confere.nce has called South Africa's decision to scrap laws governing interracial sex and marriage "meaningless." "The scrapping of the Mixed Marriage Act is really only win dow dressing, as the corner stones of apartheid still remain - the Population Registration Act and the Group Areas Act," the bishops said. "Such a step therefore remains meaningless." In Mid-April, South African President P. W. 'Botha's National Party government decided to eliminate ,the Mixed Marriages Act and Section 16 of the Im morality Act, which forbid mar riage or sexual relations across racial lines. The South African Parliament was expected to for mally repeal the laws within weeks. Between 1949 and 1971, more than 17,000 people were prose cuted under those laws. South Africa has four racial classes: white, Indians, mixed race and blacks. Blacks, forming about 73 percent of ,the popula tion, have no voice in govern ment. Apartheid, segregation of these groups is justiied 'on the ground that "separate development" will benefit each. The Group Areas Act relegates the races to separate Hving areas. The ·Population Registra-' tion Act, sometimes called the cornerstones of apartheid, orders assignment of each person to a racial group. Although one South African analyst said the decision to scrap the apartheid laws was "signifi cant because it must inevitably lead to further change," others agreed with the ,bishops, saying Botha and his cabinet indicated a strong will to preserve the concept of separate groups.

Father Francis Mahoney, a former 'area CYO director, recall ed that Tony "actually left work an hour early on the day of the 1978 blizzard," while Father McCarrick remembered his dif fidence, "after about ,20, years without a vacation," .at asking for. a week off for Ii trip to Florida. "When I became area director," related Father 'Maddock, "Tony said to me, "Father, don't worry about nothing.' I've never had to." It wouldn't have been a CYO event .without trophies, so the newly christened Tony Medei ros Senior A Division Basket ball Trophy was presented by Tony ,to Father 'McCarrick for his St. Joseph's champions.

Besides him, the commission includes Archbishop John Quinn of San Francisco as. chairman and Bishop Raymond Lessard of Savannah, Ga. . When a nun suggested ~ need for finding ways American WB-

men could speak for themselves in Rome, Archbishop Kelly re plied, "Oh, yes. Believe me, I long for that." He said that Vatican agencies intended to serve the religious have themselves become "in struments of contention," and that tensions have arisen between the religious and the H91y See "such as we have not known for a long time." He said he was working to reduce the tensions and thought it could be done. Initially, some religious ex pressed fears that the Quinn commission was meant to be a repressive force, curbing ~he .freedom of religious orders and returning them to .more conser vative patterns of the past. But Archbishop Kelly, himself a member of the Dominican order, said in his speech and in an interview afterward that the

commission's purpose is positive - to help bishops serve religious better. Though one questioner spoke of the archbishop being "stuck" with the job, he said he was happy to serve on the com mission and joked about wish ing it could have been called the Kelly commission. Archbishop Kelly said some think the problems in religious orders stem from excessive free dom and experimentation aHow ed in the wake of the Sec.9nd Vatican Council in the 1960s., But he said that the real prob lem - was a cleavage between bishops and religious which pre dated Vatican II and which the council tried to overcome. . Many bishOps, he said, had not given much thought to their re sponsibility for pastoral ministry to religious and had not been trained in the seminary to under

stand the religious life. Despite the work of Vatican II and sev eral subsequent Vatican docu .ments, he said, a separation con tinues and the purpose of the Quinn commission is to help the bishops render the needed pas toral service. Archbishop Kelly said meetings of local bishops and religious across the country, held at the commission's request, were not merely preparatioll for some action or report but were part of the commission's service in bringing about dialogue that had not existed before between re ligious and bishops. He said greater attention had been paid to women religious not only because of the difficulty of trying to "interpret American women to Roman men," but also because there are more women than men religious and because many male orders had begun re newal before Vatican II and had worked through many of the ad justments. Archbishop Kelly acknow ledged that "obedience and struc

tures. of authority" were among

areas of concern. But he said

that since the religious life was "not of divine origin," in the sense that Christ did not estab. lish religious congregations as such, some freedom in making changes could be exercised. "If authority structures are not working, they can be changed," he said. Archbishop Kelly said that the commission wishes to have topics such as consecration, wit- . ness and identity of religious, as well - as authority, discussed when the National Conference of C!ltholic Bishops meets in Col-

legeville, Minn., this June, The commission will await that dis cussion before entering another phase of hearings, he said. The commission was not in" tended to be permanent, Arch bishop Kelly said, but has no set le.ngth of time for its work. He said the one specific study it was asked to do was on the decline in vocations. For many people, he said, the decline is "the" crisis. A special problem in religious vocations, Archbishop Kelly said, is the call for lifetime commit ment. The church can use the many young peqple willing to commit only a few years, he said, but permanent commitment is an es sential part of the religious life. He said the church does not have to enlist the large numbers of religious it had in the United States prior to Vatican II, but it must have the' witness of some who do make the religious com mitment. "That we cannot dis pense with," he said.

C'zechs want pope P RAG U E, Czechoslovakia (NC) - Approximately 10,000 Catholics called for a visit by Pope Paul II to their country during a Mass celebrated at a central Czechoslovakian village believed the burial place of St. Methodius, apostle of the Slavs. Cardinal Frantisek Tomasek, Czechoslovakia's primate, who read a letter from the pope dur ing the ceremony, said he had invited the pontiff to visit the country. Vatican officials said that a visit is unlikely.

Fight jealousy with love By Dr. James and Mary Kenny Dear Dr. Kenny: I am 23 years old. My problem is that my girl friend wants to date other men, and I am veu upset. I love her s~ much. I thought we were close to being engaged. She says she still loves me, but she needs to get to'" know other men to be sure. I feel rejected, jealous, hurt, angry and mostly mixed up. How should I handle this? ('Iexas) Warm human relati'onships are vital to our life and happiness. They can be our greatest s.ource of joy. But when we perceive them threatened, we may experience every thing from panic to fury to despair. We are frightened when we feel our love is unequally returned or shared with someone else. Because ofsexual attraction, boy-girl relation ships can be even more. intense" than those between siblings and parent and c~ild. They can be the most fulfilling, but they are also the most unsettling when they ap pear in jeopardy. We cannot imagine our partner loving someone else in the very special way that we love them. "If your love is enough for me, why isn't my love enough for you?" Jealousy has three troublesome elements. The first is inequality. We are hurt because we feel we are

giving more than we are receiving. The second problem is a fear of loss. We are afraid that our partner will come to love others better alld eventually not want us anymore. Being rejected by our loved one hits at the very core of our self worth. Further, jealou!\y is an all-con suming disease. We are preoccupied with the many possibilities and cannot get the matter out of our mind. We beg, plead, argue and rage with our loved one. Unfor tunately, in the process we may cause precisely what we fear. The issue becomes so unpleasant that we inadvertently push our loved one away. So what are you to do? I don't have an easy answer. Jealousy is very hard to fight. But if you want to keep something positive open between you and your girlfriend, I would suggest the following. Keep right on loving, don'1 fence your 'partner in and take your chances. You are never less for having loved. True love does not possess and is not selfish. Love is something that exists within you, not it] the object of your affe~tion. You now have the opportunity to show how good a lover you really are.

You cannot think jealous and possessive thoughts through; there is no end. So use "thought-busters." Allow a certain time, perhaps five minutes, to consider all t·he angles of your hurt and concern. Then picture a large red octagonal stop sign and say "Stop" out loud. Force yourself to become busy with something else. Keeping busy is a good strategy for handling hurt feelings. Try to involve yourself in a hobby or exercise program, a new course or a needed home improvement. Strike back at your "down" thoughts by doing something posi tive. You can be careful and defensive, if you wish, to avoid the hurt and pain when your love is not fully and exclusively returned. This is your alternative to loving. But I personally would rather feel the sadness of the love that I had given and partially lost than quietly regret the love I was afraid to show. Your dilemma is both common and difficult. The choice whether to love or be cautious is yours. Good luck! Reader questions on family living and child care to be answered in print are invited.

The German poe(Goethe wrote . that Bach's music gave direct access to-the soul. He compared the har monies of Bach's music with the "universal harmony in the bosom of God, just before the creation. So the music also moved my soul and it was as if I neither had nor needed ears, let alone eyes or any other sense."

By Antoinette Bosco This has been the season of Johann Sebastian Bach. In March we celebrated the 300th. birthday ofthis great composer who unabash edly did all he did for the honor and glory of God. "I've always .called him St. Johann,'jokingly said my dear friend, Jeanne Mitchell Biancolli, during a recent conversation. She is a concert violinist who has played all over the world. Now she more often plays in church or for church be.nefits.

Such is the power of great music. This year, not only Bach but Handel too is remembered for his legacy of music. And Mozart be came a household name after the

A convert to the Catholic Church last year, she and I were talking about Bach's ·"St. Matthew Pas sion." So many musical wonders came from the mind, soul and pen of this composer. . Years ago I recorded something Bach wrote in my notebook of lines I never want to forget. He . said: "The aim and final reason...of all music...should be none else but the glory of God and the re-creation . of the mind." The image· of the re-creation of the mind was so powerful to me that I never forgot it. Whenever I listen to music to this day, I judge it by those criteria. Does it make my mind new? Does it make me feel that this gift of particular sound was given to us by God so that we would be forced to remember him? It was notable to me that when the biologist-writer, Lewis Thomas, of the Sloan-Kettering Institute, was asked what message the United States should send in its spaceship' to other nations in space, his answer was unexpected. As reported by the scientist turned television celebrity, Carl Sagan, Thomas answered, "I would send the complete works ofJ.ohann Sebastian Bach." He is said to have paused and added,"But that would be boasting. " (The item was recalled recently by columnist Wil~ liam Buckley Jr.)

movie, "Amadeus," which domi na ted Hollywood's Academy Awards. . Interestil'lgly, Peter. Shafer, ~he author of"Amadeus," was reported to have been drawn to Mozart because he was "God's magic flute." . Composers who saw themselves as instruments of God deserve commemoration and gratitude. For they created sounds that can make us rise above this earthly realm and at least briefly know through our senses that we come from God.

Suppose your daughter Sal ly, a budding prima ballerina, decides she wants to1take danc ing lessons. You sign a con tract for 12 weeks of lessons with Monsieur Pierre's Dance Studio. One week later Sally breaks her leg on the class ski trip. The doctor says she will have to be in a cast for 12 weeks.. Can you get out of the contract? You are not necessarily signing your life away every time someone tells you, "just sign on the dotted line. "In order to be legally binding, a contract must contain at least three elements: a. valid offer, a valid acceptance, and consi deration. . . An offer must be specific and definite to be considered legal. If Monsieur Pierre did not specify how many weeks of ballet he was

offering, for ex~mple, you could argue that the offer lacked speci ficity. An offer must also be intended to be taken seriously. Suppose you are at the local bar watching the Celtics game. If, after six beers you offer to sell your car to the man on the next barstool if the Celtics lose, he should not consider your offer binding. . The offer must stil'I' be open at the time of acceptance to be valid. If you make an offer, you generally have the right to revoke it. How ever, if-the other party has already accepted the offer before learning of your revocation, it will be binding. In an option contract, the offer cannot be revoked for a certain period of time'. Thus, if you put your house on the· market for $100,000, you may give a potential' buyer the option to purchase it at 'that price for three'moriths before you will accept another offer. Tpe acceptance of an offer must similarly conform to certain legal guidelines. If Monsieur Pierre offered you 10 weeks of ballet at $50 a week and you respond by paying for only six. weeks oflessons at $40 a week, you have not accepted his offer: Instead, you have made what 'is called a "counteroffer." In a contractual dispute,the courts will apply what is known as the objective test to determine what terms you and the other party really agreed to. Under this test, it does not so much mat:' ter what you Plean in your own mind as what you outwardly show to the other party. . For example; if an employee talks to you about renewing his contract and you tell him, "Don't

worry about it," then you have led him to believe you will renew the contract. If you have. no real intention to renew it and later fire him, he will have a good case against you in court. In addition to agreeing to the terms of the offer, an acceptance must be made in the manner required by'the.person who makes the offer. An offer can be accepted in writing, orally, or by performing a service. ,You must accept in writing if the offeror asks you to do so. If the offer is sent to you in . the mail, yqu can mail back your acceptance. Your acceptance will be valid as soon as you drop it in the mailbox, not when it is received. ' Sometimes you can accept an offer simply by performing a ser vice for the other party. If some one offers you $1,000 to build them a swimming pool and you respond by starting to build it, you have accepted their offer. Further notification is not necessary when you accept by performance. Some types of offers can be accepted by oral agreement. To/be valid, an oral acceptance must show the other party that you are assenting to his ,9ffer. Consideration is perhaps the most important element in a con tract. When you form a contract you promise to do something for another person in exchange for . something else. Consideration is what you are exchanging. Without it, there would be no contract. You would simply be doing the other party a favor. ' Thus,l if,· I ofter to mow- your lawn and you offer to pay me $10, the consideration for the contract is the $10. If you d1) not 'offer me

any money and I mow your lawn anyway, you are not under' any legal obligation to pay me sinc~ there was no consideration for the contract. o

Likewise, past consideration, not given in exchange for the present promise but performed before the promise was made, is not valid. Since you are not giving up any thing, it would not be fair to the other party if the contract were enforced.

Consideration .does not always have to involve money. If you offer, to babysit your neighbor's Illegal acts or promises are not child in exchange for her watering consideration either, because it your plants, there is valid consid eration for the contract. You are would be wrong to enforce them. If you bribe a police officer not to each performing a service.

Family - church relationship studied

NEW YORK (NC) - Despite the church's commitment to fam ily life, some of .its thought and practice can hurt families, Catholic specialists in family ministry said during a recent national church teleconference. Father Steven Preister, director of the Center fbr Family Studies at the Catholic University Of Amer ica, said institutions such as par ochial schools are failing today's families when they set up sche '. dules on the assumption that a non-workingmoth.er is normally available as'in the pas~ to receive the child returning' home in the afternoon. Mercedes Iannone, associate dir ector of the Institute for Pastoral Ministry at St. Thoma's University in Miami, said church teaching on spirituality was based on the mon astic model and did not assist fam ilies in seeing the holy dimension of their lives. Family life may be disrupted, for instance, if a parish enlists a member to usher at one Sunday Mass and another to serve as lec tor at a different hour, said John Carr, social concerns secretary for the Archdiocese of Washington. The teleconference, distributed by satellite by the Catholic Tele communications Network of Amer ica, gave diocesan groups across the country the chance to hear presentations by the program guests .and to.call in questions and requests

Carr stressed that mInistry to families required the church to become an advocate for public policies helpful to family life. He said that both liberal and conser vative political candidates try to "package" their platforms as "pro family," but neither actually tested their proposals by the impact on families or modified their ideas when the result was harmful to families.

for further clarification and 'ela boration. , The discussion was based on ideas on the first draft of a state ment on church ministry to fami lies being prepared by the U.S. Catholic Conference Commission on Marriage and Family Life. The teleconference also was the first in a six-part series, "Church '85, Confronting Today's Pastoral Questions," being produced by the' Natiof\~1 Pas,toral Life Center in New York with funding from the Catholic Communication Cam '. ' palgn.

I would be uncomfortable with that," she said. Father Preister said statistics indicated that by 1990 the number of (amilies with a single parent or divorced and remarried parents would exceed the number with two parents never divorced.' The church i.n its teaching must stanCl for the ideal of committed, endur ing relations, but in its' ministry must "start where people are," he said..

Susan Petoletti, media relations manager for CTNA, said that of 71 dioceses affiliated with the net work, 35 had "on-line capability" to receive such broadcasts as the teleconference, and that 31 of the'se did participate' live. Five other dioceses arr~nged to participate through outside facilities, she said, Some 'dioceses, she added, will later show tapes of the program. The teleconfer~nce guests iden tified several areas where they thought the church was neglecting to consider family life implications.

Rome diocesan officials say they are impressed by the inter est the pope takes in each com munity. "This pope is not just visiting churches. He's meeting people," said Luciano Montemauri, a press spokesman at Rome's arch diocesan office. He noted that most of Pope John Paul's visits are outside Rome's historic cen ter, where many churches min ister to a dwindling and aging population. Instead, the pontiff goes. to overcrowded suburban parishes burdened by unemploy ment, insufficient housing, drug use and religious apathy. Once there, Montemauri added, the pope likes to take ,the pulse ~f the parish in unrehearsed en counters.

The pope called the youth's analysis "excellent," then told him that "the church's proposal is not just for human me, but for eternal life - the complete life." To get the feel of each parish, the pope invites the pastor and his assistants to a pre-visit "working" lunch. 'In his meeting with St. Tarcisio's priests, for example, the pope was told about a particularly active "neo-cate chumenal" group at the parish. During the Sunday visit, the pope meta member of the group. Until three years ago, the mid dle-aged man told the pope, "I considered Christianity a fail ure" and thought it was his duty to "combat religion as a danger ous superstition," Through this group, he said, he had come to discover "that God loves me." In response, the pope said the man's experience was character istic of "our cold age, our indif ferent age," in which people say of' faith in God: "Who knows? It could be." "We need your enthusiasm and personal conviction," the pope said. "We need that radi cal conversion of yours that re calls Saul' of Tarsus," Then, putting his arm around Father ;Resente, he told the group: "Keep deepening your work, but keep close to your pastor. Just like him, I hope you'll keep making your way but do it slowly. We two are al ready old, you see."

Economy pastoral delayed

WASHINGTON (NC) - The final text of the U.S: bishops' pas toralletter on the economy will be delayed until 1986, it was an nounced April I. A second draft, originally due this spring, will be 'delayed until this September. The new plan could 'lead to a special 1986 spring meeting of the bishops just to debate and vote on the economics pastoral. Otherwise the vote would probably come at the bishops' regular fall meeting in November 1986. Completion of{he economic pas toral was originally scheduled for this November, with a full second draft due this spring for discussion at a June national meeting of the bishops in Collegeville, Minn. But the bishops wanted more

time to take "full advantage of the the rich debate" that has had "an almost unprecendented level" of 'grassroots involvement, said Bi shop James Malone of Youngs town, Ohio, president ofthe Nation al Conference of Catholic Bishops and U.S. Catholic Conference. Some bishops also said they wanted more time "to prepare for effective pastoral and educational follow-up," he said. The delay would also allow time for fuller discussion of a chapter on food and agriculture, he added. That chapter was not yet written when the first draft was issued. The pastoral letter on CathQlic social teaching and the U.S. econ omy is being drafted by a five bishop committee headed by Arch bishop Rembert Weakland of Mil waukee.
