VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has urged Catholics to pray for peace in the Middle East and has reiterated his de sire for international guarantees to protect Jerusalem as a city sacred to Jews, Moslems and Christians. The papal message also sup ported a: Middle East homeland for Palestinians and peace and security for Jews in Isarel. Prayers are needed for "a just, solution to the problem of Jeru salem and of the Holy Land, and for the return of peace in the Middle East," said the pope in a 1,300-word letter written in Latin and published in - L'Osser vatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, on April 19. "I am convinced," the pope said, "that to neglect to search for an adequate solution to the question of' Jerusalem, so as to resign oneself to a· postponement of the problem. only compro mises further the hoped-for
peaceful and equitable resolu tion of the crisis of the entire Middle East." The pope called for interna tional guarantees to protect the rights- of all segments of Jerusa lem's population. Turning his attention to the whole Middle East. the pope said that Jews in Israel have the right to "their desired safety and to the just tranquility which is the perogative of every nation and the condition of life and of progress for every society." The Palestinian people, said the pontiff, "who in that region find their historic rdots and for decades have lived dispersed. have the natural right, by justice, to acquire a homeland and to be able to live in peace and tran quility with the other peoples of the region." 'Current controversy over the s~atus of Jerusalem ~tems from the. J980 Israeli decision to make Turn to Psge Six
Appeal Day Sunday
Over 20,000 volunteer solici tors will make house to house calls within their parishes from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday on behalf of the 43rd annual Catholic Charities Appeal.. Visiting some 114,000 homes, the volunteers will ask funds for maintenance and expansion of diocesan apostolates of educa tion, social services, health care and charity. Explaining. the undertaking, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin last week wrote a lett~, referring to this year's campaign theme, to diocesan families.' In it he said that Catholics are asked to "Pour Out Your Hearts for the Catholic Charities Appeal." "Only through the combined efforts of all the people in all the parishes," said the bishop, "will our programs have the as surance of continuing to reach out to those in need in the com ing year." D Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, di
ocesan Appeal director, has sug gested consideration of the pledge system as a way of in creasing Appeal dnnations. He noted that members of di ocesan parishes received contri bution cards together with the bishop'!; letter. They are asked to use them in making a donation or pledge on Sunday. He requested that solicitors make returns to parishes im mediately after completing col 'lections so that they may be re ported promptly to area and di ocesan Appeal centers. Specjal Gifts Atty. James H. Quirk Jr. of Yarmouth, the Appeal's diocesan lay chairman, has reported that the Special Gifts phase of the campaign is successfully reach ing business and professional donors in the diocese. He noted that this phase ends tomorrow and final reports should be made to area head quarters as quickly as possible.

but with sincere appreciation of the spiritual challenge to
help those in ourcQmmunity who have pressing needs of
body and. soul.
It 'is especiMly important that we recognize the chal

places more emphasis on weapons of destruction than on
processes of healing; in a time when so many see life as
expendable rather than preciou~; in an era when we are in
dan~er of beginning to treat people as robots rather than

In fact, we should be honored to share in an effort
to awaken in our diocese the spirit of the beatitudes and to

A SPECIAL NOTE
FOR PARENTS
It's been said moving is most difficult for children between the ages of two and four, and for teenagers. Difficulties begin from seventh to ninth grade, with ninth grade being especial 'ly hard, and then junior and senior years in high school are even more difficult. For infants to two years and children five to 10 years old, there are few problems. For them a move can broaden their horizons and be a great adventure.

do with men who are called into service during wartime. We rec ognize the unfairness of asking men to serve and then return to no jobs. Defense of the family is as important as the defense of property to a nation. Yet many young mothers return to work within a few months of a child's birth, primarily because their teaching or factory job will dis appear if they take two years off. Next I would work for a mini mum monthly stipend per child in the family for the non-work ing parent (a foolish phrase since he or she doesn't exist). Whether it comes from general. taxes, taxes on a spouse's wage, dona tions of at-home mothers who don't want it, or even elimina tion of non-taxes for churches, it needs to be initiated if we take the pope's word seriously. But we don't and we won't because at-home mothers have little clout in either our church or society. It's a pity, because Pope. John Paul II made a pro found statement on the health of the family. Too bad nobody heard about it.

VATICAN CITY (Nq - The frozen embryo method of initia ting pregnancy, implantation of a frozen human embryo in a womb after in vitro fertilization, was condemned in an April 18 editorial in the Vatican news paper, L'Osservatore Romano. The editorial said the method involves masturbation and arti ficial insemination of humans, activities pr~viously condemned by the church. In vitro fertilization involves removing eggs from a woman and fertilizing them in f:I. labora tory. The editorial commented on the recent birth in Australia of Baby Zoe, the wOllld's first fto 2lenembt;yobaiby;Xt wa.swdt ten by Itan¢iscanlather GI,no 'Col1cetti,a 'theOlo,glan. who W:iI':i:tesrreqentl!~in.[;~Os$erva.

Sr. Morancy leaves order I
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (NC) Mercy Sister Elizabeth Moraney, a four-term Rhode Island state representative, has decided to leave the Sisters of Mercy to continue her politiclrl career, she said at a fundraising event April 29 in Providence. Sister Morancy said she had exhausted her appeals to church officials to continue in politics as a nun and has begun the pro cedure for dispensation from her vows. The process should be completed in approximately six weeks, she said. The new Code of Canon Law, which went into effect last No vember, prohibits priests and re Hgious from holding' public of fice. A Democrat, Sister Morancy has represented the Elmwood and Washington Park sections of Providence. in the state legisla ture, where' she has worked to pass legislation to help the poor. She told supporters at the
fundraiser that she wiU "con
tinue to be a Sister of Mercy in
my heart and in my ministry." Although she had the support of her order in choosing a "po litical ministry," she said she wanted to avoid making her order or herself appear to be defying the Vatican. Sister Morancy is the second Sister of Mercy in Rhode Island to opt for politics and Ieave the order. Republican Arlene Violet asked for and received a dispen sation from her vows early this year in order to run for state attorney general, her second at tempt to win that office. Sister Morency has worked with the Hmong population in ,Providence and more recently at Amos House, a south Providence soup kitchen. Her decision to leave the order came after a ,canon laWyer in formed her' that the Vatican Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes, which deals with the activities of religious,. said that exemption from the law would not be granted.

The archbishop-elect did speak, however, about his 'phil osophy of communications' and' church relations wltb the news media and abOut the attitudes he will catry into his job. Concerning frequent press complaints about Vatlean,'se .crecy,he said he favors giving reporters as much information as possible. ,"Mygener8ilprindpl'e. is that we're always bound fo tell the troth. To deceive, would be im moral -and also self-defeating," be said. He noted, however, that in certain cases, such as some it'e cent controversies about Vatican financial dealings, there may be "lega)'reasons" for not'making public statement about specific issues involved. In difficult controvel'sieslitmay Il'l sohappen that no one knows enough about the situation to comment publicly, he said. Asked .if .hewouldfavoropen. ing major meetings at the Vat:i~ can to the press, Archbishop elect Foley said he had "no ob-. jection to meetings being open to 'the, press." . When he was the Vatican's English-'language press" liaison for Pope John Paul II's 1979 triplo Jrre.larld and the 'UnIted' States, fellow journalists on. the papal plane said they were im pressed with his efforts to an swer,qJ,lestionsol' obta.inlnfar mation for them. At the 1980 World Synod of Bishops, at which he was again English·language liaison,be was noted' for his openness. .Journalists who did not speak English often checked with the inglish·speaking press corps to leaI'ttwhat Msgr; li'aley reported in his press briefings. Since he is also reasonably 'fluent fn Italian, French and' SpanisQ, re .porters ,of other ~snID1ages·also frequently asked him directly for assistance.
But Archbishop-elect Foley, who for years was also a pi-ess . aide for .national' .meetings of theU~S.bisbOps,saidthat ·open. ing meetings ,to the press can be a mixed blessing. When the U.S. bishops had closed meeting$,he sai'd, the only thJrlgs .he did:not report to journalists at the press briefings were the discussions explicitly off the record - and iibose,wer:eeonsideJ::ably fewer than ,the matters covered intbe off·the-record executive sessions ,now a regular feature of the bishops' meetings. The archbishop-elect, who covered the Second Vatican Council as a .reporter said that eonciHarbriefings<:ouldsetve as a model for Vatican communi cations. During the meeting, he said, there were daily press brief· .1ng&lst whichrepOJlleFS.were given factual summaries of What had taken place.

Essentially, how others judge divorced people is not so signi ficant as how we ourselves act. Rather than asking, "Why are others acting in this way?" we should be asking: "How do I act? How should I respond Ito my divorced friends?" Here are some starters. 1. Don't judge. When' we hear that a' couple is getting a div orce,' the first reactic;m of many, of lis is to assign blame. "He is such a rat. No wonder she can't -live with him." Or, "No one should have to put up with that awful woman." ' No outsider can see deep into the hearts' of friends and rela tives. As, outsiders, assigning
blame -is beyond our capability an dis none of our business. Don't judge. 2. Divorced people- who are left as single parents have a difficult burden. They must handle the emotional upheaval of a divorce plus the physical and emotional demand of par enting alone. Support them. In clude them when you entertain. Stay close enough to them to recognize their needs and offer to help with those needs. 3. Divorced persons who nave remarried may feel shunned by church-going friends. Perhaps they do not participate in official church -liturgies. They still may have a great· hunger for a spirit ual life. Include them in your own worship and prayer life. The only behavior toward divorced persons that we ought to be judging is our own.

dential judgments on specific is sues such as "no first use," they are to give "serious attention and consideration" to the bish ops' views in forming their own consciences. - Realism demands recogni tion of Soyiet repression and., the threat of Soviet power, but it also demands recognition that there are "irreducible" mutual interests which can serve as a common basis for negotiations. - Because true peace must be based on justice and the pro tection of human rights, U.S. political and economic policies must be aimed at rpeeting the needs of the world's poor and promoting just international sys tems favoring development. The U.S. should be more supportive of the United Nations and work for a wOJ'lld order in which con ,f1icts between nations can be peacefully resolved. - The church's theological traditions of just war and nonviolence are distant but com plementary.

Obtaining· a small business loan

RICHARD MURPHY
Beth K's small business in Weymouth was proving far more successful than she had ever hoped. With' orders coming in ,. as fast as she could write them and her workforce doubling in mere months, Beth desired larger quarters for the business. Recognizing that addi tional sources of financing would be needed, Beth sought a bank loan to fund this move. Beth's story is quite common. If you are the 'owner ofa small business, you have probably con sidered obtaining a loan from a
bank or similar lending, institu Another area 'of concern has tiol\. When seeking. any such to do with the particular charac loan, however, there are some teristics of the bank. An early simple but useful considerations. consideration should be the gen \ eral lending' policy of the insti you should keep in mind. In deciding which lending in tution. Does the bank ordinarily stitution to use, you should shop grant loans on reasonable terms around first, just as you would to small businesses? Is it favor . for any Jll8jor purchase.

Finally, it may be desirable if the bank has some knowledge of your type of business in order to provide additional aid to you.

The, bank wiU be. looking for basic facts and figures about your business in determining ;whether to give you a loan. Be prepared to present your possi ble lender' with recent balance sheets, sales and profit projec tions, income statements and other financial information. It may be helpful to project a confident attitude when pre senting this material. This may favorably influence the lender in analyZing the merits of your application. . When the time comes to bar gain over the terms and condi tions .of your loan, there are cer tain items in the loan'agreement of which you should be acutely aware: Default Provisions are very important as they describe the forbidden actions and conditions that can cause your loan to be ',immediately due in full. A Grace Period is sought by many borrowers to enable them to cure defaults. This provides a stated number of days in
which you may alleviate any situations that would otherwise constitute a default. Such a pro vision will enable you to avoid any trouble arising from such problems as the late delivery of a payment. Representations and Warran ties are those promises you make to the bank regarding your business operations. You should carefully examine these repre sentations for accuracy. Making a false representation or war ranty may constitute a default. Waivers. Loan agreements sometimes include a provision under which you agree to waive your right to a hearing in court if you default. Such a provision may be undesirable as it elimin-. ates one protection you would otherwise have 1n the event of, a misunderStanding regarding your loan. In general, carefully read the proposed loan agreement and raise any objections, qualifica tions or questions before you sign. If necessary, seek the ad~ vice of a lawyer about this docu ment. Remember, the loan agree ment will fonn the' contract be tween you and your lender for a substantial period of time. The Murphys practice law In Braintree.

Free education
a must in Malta
By NC News Service The Parliament of Malta has passed by one vote a controver· sial bill allowing the Socialist government to take over private secondary schools which do not offer free education, according to press reports. The bill provides that all sec ondary education in the tiny Mediterranean country be free beginning next fall and that if private schools charge fees, the government will assume running of the schools at the expense of their owners. Virtually all Maltese private schools are Catholic and Catho lics form 91 percent of the 370,000 population. Government officials said the measure is aimed at implement· ing a party pledge to make equal education opportunities available to all children.

Imprimatllrs removed from two boo){s
By NC News Service Archbishop Raymond G. Hunt hausen of Seattle has re~oved his imprimatur _from the book "Sexual Morality," by Sulpician Father Philip S. Keane, at the re quest of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation, the archbishop an nounced April 24. The book is published by PauHst Press. A statement by the Archdio cese of Seattle said the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith informed the arch bishop that "an imprimatur is to be granted only to those works which completely agree with of ficial church teaching." ' "I am bound in conscience to withdraw f my imprimatur from Father Keane's book because it does not meet the necessary re quirements as these are presently set forth by the congregation," Archbishop Hunthausen said. The imprimatur is an official declaration that a book is free of doctrinal or moral error, but does not imply that the person ,giving the imprimatur agrees with the contents, opinions or statements in the book. Father Thomas Herron, an Am erican staff member of the doc trinal congregation, told NC News in Rome that the fact that "Sexual Morality" carried an im primatur could have been taken "as meaning that the book could be used for catechetical pro grams and that it represented official Catholic teaching faith fully." The removal of ,the imprima tur, he said, does not mean that the book cannot be read, for ex ample, in a seminary course, but "it certainly means that ,the book should not be used as a textbook, that it should not be taken as 'a compendium of Catholic theo logy." The Vatican congregation's request was the second made public since April 16. At that time the congregation asked that "Christ among Us," ,by Anthony T. Wilhelm, a top-seHing cate
chetical work also published by print of the work in the future.' Paulist Press, be withdrawn from "In view of these decisions by circulation, and Newark Arch· church authorities, Paulist Press bishop Peter L. Gerety withdraw is suspending circulation of his imprimatur from the work. 'Christ Among Us' and has so In a statement on the matter informed its customers. The Paulist Press said that Cardinal press is also informing Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Ratzinger of its action and is requesting clarifications of the doctrinal congregation, had com municated the decision on congregation's decision. "Since the first edition 17 "Christ among Us" to Archbish op Gerety,. who transmitted it' years ago, the press has sold to Father Kevin A. Lynch, CSP, more than 1.6 million copies. In Paulist publisher. , 1983 there ,were 166,700 copies "The letter from Cardinal sold. Ratzinger," s.aid the statement, "The author and the Paulist "stated that 'Christ among Us' Press editors revised each new edition to bring its contents up was not 'suitable as a catecheti to date with new post-Vatican cal text.' He requested that Arch bishop Gerety remove his im II official church statements and primatur and 'ask ,the Paulist the writings of respected theo Press not to consider any reo logians."
