,VATICAN CITY (NC) - In comments on two strife-torn areas of the world, Pope John ..Paul U ;last Sunday warned against the "almost irreversible" developments in the Falkland Is lands' crisis; and on Monday voiced. his strong desire to go to Poland in August for cere monies honoring Our Lady of Czestochowa. In his seventh public appeal since Argentina April 2 invaded the British-ruled Falkland Is. lands, called the Malvinas by Argentina, the pope mourned "the precious lives already soc rificed" and said the conaflict could have "repercussions on a vaster scale." "Mayall, not only the parties directly involved but their ally nations and the entire interna tional community, feel their his toric responsibility and not abandon themselves, discouraged, before a situation whose develop ments could already appear al most irreversible," Pope John Paul told more than 60,000 peo ple gathered in St. Peter's Square for recitation of the noon Regina Coeli prayer. Vatican sources said his ap peal was a call for stronger United Nations' mediation efforts

and was the first time the pope had issued a public call aimed at the United Nations. The pontiff said the military conflict between the two nations "seem to grow ever more bitter" and warned that it could spread to involve "various nations or blocs of countries." With regard to Poland, the pope told some 500 Polish priests, religious and tourists at tending a Vatican Mass honor ing Our Lady, Queen of Poland, that he considers it "my obliga tion, the obligation of my heart, the obligation of a son to his mother" to be in 'Poland for the Aug. 26 celebration of the 600th anniversary of the arrival at Jas na Gora in Poland of the image of Our Lady of Czestochowa, revered as the patroness of Po land. "I am morally pledged," con tinued the pope, "to be together with my compatriots at the feet of the 'Lady of J asna Gora 'Jor this grand anniversary." The pope, however, implied that no'definite decison had been made yet regarding the trip. "I believe also that there have to be created adequate condi tions for this and I count on this Turn to Page Three

Cape parish

to build

Our Lady of Victory parish, Centerville, plans major improve ments in the church plant, ac cording to Rev. John A. Perry," pastor. "This is the first major under taking by the parish since it waS established in 1957," said Father Perry. "As we prepared to cele brate our 25t5h anniversary, we felt that it was time that the necessary steps were taken ,to address the varied demands placed upon our growing parish. The varied and ever-increasing needs of our parish f~mily have strained our present facilities to their limits." Construction and renovation plans call for building a new parish center immediately behind the present church on· South Main 'Street, and renovating the lower church into a religious education center. The complex will include a large parish hall, offices, consul tation and a rectory. The reo modeled lower church will 'have eight CCD classrooms, a CCD office and a small parish meet· ing room. "Currently the parish has over 900 students who must, attend religious education classes in 65 parish homes for lack of facili ties. We felt that it was crucial that our CCD program be con solidated," Father Perry said. The new parish hall, replacing the one now in the lower church, will have easy access for the elderly and disabled. It will be utilized for, summer Masses and parish social functions. On April 24, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin visited Our L~dy of Vic tory for groundbreaking cere monies. His visit was followed by a parish meeting at which the building plans were described. Parishioners were offered the opportunity of selecting com memorative units in the parish center or CCO center. They will be asked to pledge gifts payable over 36 months to the 25th AnniversarY Building Fund.

-Pleas Continued from Page One in tlJe name of the prestige of Poland and in the name of the honor of a I,OOO-year-old na· tion," he said. The pope's words took on add ed significance in the light of remarks made a few days earl ier by Poland's primate, Arch bishop Jozef Glemp. In Rome for consultations with the pope, Archbishop Glemp of Gniezno and Warsaw said April 28 that he believed that" the Au gust visit of the pope to his homeland would have to be post· poned. Later ',that day, however, the Polish government announced re lease of 1,000 of 3,000 prisoners detaineq under martial law. On April 29, having returned to War~aw, Archbishop Glemp called t~e action a "step toward creating the conditions" which would l11ake the pope's August visit possible.

A Very Special Need Has a friend, neighbor or a fellow. parishioner called as yet to ask your very special help in the work of Catholic Charities? When someone calls, will you share in this work with care land concern going beyond sectarian motivation? You see, this year as never before the Catholic ,Charities Appeal is in very special need. . There are few who can escape the facts of recession. High interest rates, unemployment and federal cutbacks are having their predictable effect. Many people who want to work just can't find a job; businesses are closing their doors' at an alarming rate; many families find themselves deprived of government assistance when in true need. The litany of economic and social woes lengtheps as each day passes.. Amid all the fancy sidestepping by the public sector .in its attempts to meet the challenges of recession, added burdens have been placed on the already laden backs of private charities. In fact, private charities have been summoned to fill the.government gap created by our own elected officials. Cries for help and assistance increase daily. Nor' have the many agencies and offices of the Catholic Charities of this diocese been exempt from the pressures and pleas .created by the current ecoQomy. In fact,. demands have taxed the limits of response. The Catholic Charities Appeal last 'year tried to meet all its requests,. but it did so by going into the hole. . . Because of its many no-strings-attached programs, b~use of its honesty and fairness and because it does care as it shares, the Catholic Charities Appeal deserves our added support and increased contributions during. its an nual .campaign. lOur church,' contrary to secul~r portrayals;. has no.huge financial resources, nor does it often receive enormous bequests. There are very few industrial or business. founda tions that endow Catholic Charities programs. No, the Catholic Charities Appeal is·a success because of the door to door contributions of the vast majority of the people contacted on the parish level. It is a wonderful testimony to these faithful that they are so generous in their support of a work that .benefits the whole community. It is to these people that we offer a special word of. gratitude. They stand in direct c'ontrast to many bountifully endowed with this world's goods. Many such people forget that much is expected of those to whom much has been given. Actually, it is usually the widow's mite. that sear after year makes our appeal a success. We urge all in the diocese, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, to help in this work that aids all. However, we do make a special appeal to those of the faith. When you respond to the call of Catholic Charities, please be generous proportionally as the Lord has blessed you, Try indeed to increase your donation this year in order that the church in this diocese may serve even more people in greater need. In these times of economic hardship, may we recall the words of the second letter to the' Corinthians:' "Each man according" as he determines in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver."

The ·roiad.··.to Emmaust By fa~er' Kevin J. Harrington

This week marks the seventh anniversary of my -or.!l!nation. I recogniz~ that this is a very short period of time; however, the path that my life has taken has brought me more joy than I could ev~r have anticipated. The greatest joy for any priest is to celebrate. the Eucharist. The ~orld desperately needs a sense of Jesus' presence. The Eucharist should become the place where people encounter the call to 'liye according to his , values. I Unfortunately, many Catholics fail to respond to the invitatio~ to share the -Bread of Life.

ending challenge to exude' the same compassion, love and for giveness manifested by our Lord on the cross. The splendid example of Jesus on the way to Emmaus also shows us how central the, Eu charist should be in our lives. For too many Catholics, the Eu charist has become routine. But the words "Do this in memory of me" must inspire us to place oursel.v:es on the paten, with Christ; priest and victim.

to a bett~r unde~~tllnding of their life's meaning and direction, I have the more reason at every Eucharist to give Christ the glory and honor that are' his due. I pray that I will always walk with my brethren on the ·road to Emmaus, inviting them to share the riches that await on the road back to Jerusalem.

For Mother's Day

Since humor is the best part of parenting, for Mother's Day, I offer you a modest collection of true in cidents that took place, not on a talk show, but in the kitchen, assiduously gathered froni moth ers across the country. o

One mother's ll-year-old son was studying family relations and one day was assigned to give his mother two compliments. She didn't know this, of course, so she was pleasantly surprised to hear her son, not given to com pliments, say, ''Gee, that was a good supper, Mom." Then he paused and added, "And you don't look so bad, either." o

III

Along the same line; a mother of two pre-teens sent them off to religion class, where they took part in a reconciliation ser vice. Upon their return, her usu ally undemonstrative son gave her a hug. She reacted with pleasure but 10 minutes later he came into the kitchen and said, "Mom, EIIen didn't give you a hug and she was supposed to because that was her penance, too." III

III

Another grandma in a similar situation asked her granddaugh ter how she liked her monring egg. "Scrambled," was the reply. However, Grandma forgot and, cooked it over easy. Remember ing at the last minute, she cut and scrambled it a little. The little girl studied It for a mo ment and then said conclusive-: ly, "Grandma, it's still fried." o

III

A Georgia mother shared the reaction of an ll-year-old boy riding in the far back of the family station wagon when she went through a yellow light. "You ran a .red light," he said accusingly. "It wasn't red," she said. "It was yellow." "Well, it was red when I went through it." 0)

Cheever's religion

John Cheever is one of our best American writers. In his fiction Cheever has striven to bring order out of chaos and to exalt the decent and the beautiful. It ie a pleasant surprise to find an American novelist speak ing out publicly about religion in his writings. Many writers seem to think there must be something infantile about a nov elist who admits he is religious. Cheever is absolutely honest. When he was asked what role religion plays in his life, he did not hestitate to speak his mind: "I go to church because prayer seems to contain levels of grati tude and aspiration that I know no other way of expressing." Joshual Gilder, associate edi tor of "Saturday Review," has said of Cheever: "He is in many ways our most religious writer today. The light in his fiction is the light cast by a halo: there is no source but faith." Cheever concedes there is evil in the world. He associates evil with darkness, and has said, "I always associated goodness quite openly with light." He is never overbearing but is always polite and cordial. Chever admits quite openly that he has cancer. It brings, of course, a whole new world for him but he seems to take it in stride. tie does 'not hesitate to say, "Ypu see before you a very sick m~n." Yet he also declares he is still ready and willing to write.

And. then there was the little girl visiting her grandmother who requested ice cream for breakfast. Grandma objected and the young one gave her a long look and said, "Well, I think we can do without you around here."

Along with thousands of others, Cheever finds himself seeking a cure for cancer. None theless, he never displays any histrionics. "It's not depressing reaIly or exhilarating. It's quite plainly a critical part of living, or the aspiration to live," he says. Cheever gives no indication that his literary powers' have de clined with age and sometimes is compared with John Updike for the elegance of his prose. In spite of his age and cancer, however, Cheever welcomes in terviews and delights in the high ly intelligent and thoughtful letters he receives from his readers. "Literature is the high est form of communication be tween intelligent adults," he says. Some readers may think Chee ver assumes a certain-- air of righteousness in his conversa tions but it seems to me it is more likely that he is searching his mind for the exact word most suitable to his style. Most important, Cheever is Christian in the best sense of the word: He is compassionate, patient and grateful. He has suc ceeded magnificently in exalting the decent and the beautiful in his work. At times he may appear to be wrestling with despair, but, in the long run, his religious faith subdues his doubts. Cheever shares a Christian identity with some of the characters in his novels.

at the little eyes and paws all during the service and at the close, he tapped the woman and asked, "Where did you get' them rats?" Another mother said she had varicose vein surgery while in the hospital having a baby. A couple of years later, she heard her five year-old tell a' stranger, "You. know, Mom can't have any more babies. She had that vein taken out of her leg." Finally, there was the enter prising eight-year-old boy ex pected to play with his three year-old sister on summer days. Longing to get rid of her and join his friends, he developed a unique arrangement. The family lived next door to a retired couple who adored the little girl so he took her over daily, push ed her into the back porch and shut the door, collecting her an hour later. It wasn't until years later that his mother discovered his duplicity. ~y children love this story about their dad.

FATHER JOHN B. SHEERIN, CSP

The theme of light, as Pope John XXIII pointed out, was the key theme of the Second Vatican Council. The opening words of the council looked to the light. we find in compassionate dia logue with modern human beings - - a dialogue urging peace, social justice and whatever con cerns the dignity and unity of people. Cheever is.a reflection of that light. An observer has noted that Cheever's enlightenment is reo Iigious. His despair occasionally is obvious but it is a passing ex perience that gives way before the abiding faith that answers despair. Throughout his life, Cheever has striven to bring order and beauty to his literary work.. He has succeeded beyond our ex pectations. We can hope his new n.ovel, "Oh What a .paradise It Seems," will achieve the success of his . earlier works. . .

Ms. Mayer found among her well-heeled sources a willingness to make what for them were sacrifices that would gladden th~ heart of Ronald Reagan. Take, for instance, Mrs. Mary Louise Romano, a lawyer's wife, who has four children in school and four automobiles. But you see how the rich rally in an economic crisis that does not af fect them: In a spirit of volun tarism, .the Romanos have changed their vacation style.

When they feel the pinch in Bronxville, they do not whine or look to the government. They quietly cut back. Louis Ziemba, owner of ~ $100,000 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, told the Journal that he has cancelled an antique-buying trip to Europe "basically for financial reasons." Another brave Bronxvilleite said stoically, "We ski locally now." What a constrast to the peo ple presented by Bill Moyers on his recent "People Like Us," the television documentary ,that so deeply offended the president. The people on "People Like Us" had the bad taste not only to. be unfortunate but also to have fallen through Ronald Rea gan's safety net. Moyers gave examples of callousness and stupidity. They showed that the new "workfare" policy doesn't work. Frances Dorta, who probably doesn't even ski locally, had to give up her job so she could re-qualify for the Medicaid money she des perately needed for major sur gery on her son.

Ms. Heyer knows what it's like to want to keep a person "who is going to be a burden to you for the rest of your life." She has a profoundly retarded child of her own. Like Cathy Dixon, she regards the handicapped child as "as very remarkable gift in your family." Ms. Heyer delivers the most devastating indictment of the Reagan approach. Moyers asks her if she shares Reagan's oft expressed view that cheaters are ripping off American taxpayers. "I don't see a lot of cheaters froin the majority of people who are in need . . . genuinely in need," she replies. "And to cut the whole, punish the whole group because of the wrongdoing of the few isn't going to settle the problems in this country." . The. administration launched a counterattack. The Great Anec dotist in the Oval Office com plained bitterly about Moyers' anecdotage. His communications director DavidGergen called the show "below the belt" and spokesmen for the Department of Health and Human Services were hauled out lor refutation. The ,White House knew it was creating a much vaster audience for the controversy than the show had drawn. But it couldn't help itself. No object is more sensitive, at a time of new and deeper budget cuts, than the character of the chief executive. What Reagan has going for him, beyond a widespread feeling that government does too much for life's losers, is the view of him as a nice man.

The Moyers show was a dra matization of what the polls are showing: that an increasing num· ber of Americans think Reagan is hardhearted. In a recent Louis Harris survey in which people were asked if they thought Rea gan cared about the poor, ,the elderly and the handicapped, 74 percent said no,-and only 23 per cent said yes. The figures are chilling. And they may come as much from what Reagan says as from what he does. He cannot suppress for long his suspicion that our poor Worse, perhaps, were the peo are taking advantage of us.

The people are so fne.n~,ly - we look forward to 1t. "It's marvelous" Mrs. Ida Wing of Bourne, Methodist Church says' simply. Those are grassroots reactions to 55 And Over, which has been flOUrishing at St. John's since December. On the objective level, Dr. . Thomas H. D. Mahoney, Secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Elder Affairs, terms the multipronged senior citizens project "a pilot program without equal." Saying he had "never seen anything like this before'in the state," he cited particularly St. John's "beautiful building, excellent service and convivial workers." But Father James W. Clark, pastor of St. John's, sums it up more simply: "We're just returning to the traditional role of the church - 'caringfor people; and we're doing, it in the spirit of St. Francis, who was a Christ person for others." Indeed, the spirit of the Little Poor Man of Assisi is palpable at St. John's. Since 1956 Father Clark has been a Third Order Franciscan and when he came to St. . John's in 1977, the Third Order came with him. The parish fraternity, St. Francis of the Cape, now numbers 44 Jay members, 32 professed 12 novices. . ' The lay Franciseans take the lead in operating 55 and Over, which offers hot dinners and transportation if needed each Tuesday and Thursday to all seniors in the villages of Pocasset, Cataumet, Monument Beach and Gray Gables.

each plate. Not everyone can pay that amount,' said Father Clark. Even if all did, total revenue would fall far short of costs. So St. John's makes up the difference for providing such home-style favorites as beef stew, turkey, spaghetti, baked chicken and meat loaf and for heating and lighting -the largE! parish center twice weekly. Labor costs are not a problem. Heading an, allvolunteer kitchen corps is Third Order Franciscan Claire Desmarais who is often, getting dinner underway in St. John's kitchen by 7 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Of her enormous task she says, "It's fun - I enjoy doing it. It's not work for ' me." Mrs. Desmarais usually plans menus and shops for lier lOO-member "family" on Mondays, watching for sales

An impressive birthday cake is donated monthly by Mrs. Catherine Mackin. Last month's was a luscious Eastertide lamb cake. Responsible for bingo and bridge are Mrs. Joanne Nash and Mrs. Kay Towne,' while Dr. Anthony Gasson, retired physician and St. John parishioner, is on hand Tuesdays to check blood pressure readings and dispense health advice. Also on the health team are registered nurses Jon Reed and Barbara Primmerman. "We went from an initial' 12 volunteerS to our present 36," reported Mrs. Desmarais. "It seemed every time we lost a volunteer, we picked up two more. "She said the workers are eClimenical, . including members of Pocasset Baptist and Cataumet Methodist churches. . 55 And Over will suspend operations from June through Labor Day, said Father Clark, both because of crowded highways on the busy summertime Cape and' because many volunteers will be swamped with vacation activities at home. But there will be a "visitation crew" to make sure that no lelderly person is overlooked or neglected in the summer rush. . Noting that elderly everywhere are in need of programs such as St. John's, the pastor said he hopes', other churches will initiate similar projects. "After all," he pointed out, "we're taxexempt.

You have already proved that you cannot stop alone. Most commonly, addicts use friends or· family members. Alcoholics Anonymous has been very successful with the buddy system.

Set up a ~imple plan as outlined in the American Heart Association. pamphlet. Have him keep a count on a calendar. Include a silly reward for successes and a silly penalty when you fan to achieve your goals. For example, one cigarette-free hour might earn you a penny to keep in a mason jar.

He also told me DOt to let people' put a guilt trip on me. I have talked to my doctor. He tells me if I really want to quit I can. I used to be happy and friendly.

Typically, the advice ranges from blaming you for your wishyI washy character to being very understanding and telling you not to let other people dictate your life. Yet the simple truth. is that, despite some conflicting motives, you do want to stop. Over and over again you come back to that point. A second simple truth is that so far you have been unable to. You are not strong enough alone to defeat an addiction. Given these truths, what can you do to stop smoking?

ORLANDO, Fla. (NC) - Two Catholics in the U.S. Navy lost rank and part of their pay April 23 because they refused to obey orders after studying Catholic teachin~ on nuclear weapons and becoming conscientious objectors to tlieir assigned duties. Brian Jay Kokensparger and Paul B. H. Wheeler, both in their early 20s and electronics technicians third class, had been charged with two counts of unauthorized leave and with disobeying orders and refusing to wear the Navy uniform. They agreed to transfer to different duties and wear uniforms pending a separate decision ~>n their request for .a military discharge as conscientious objectors. Both were - reduced to the grade of E-3 seaman and given half-pay for two months in a non-judicial hearing April 23 at the Naval Training Command in Orlando. Kokensparger and Wheeler went AWOL from the Navy's Nuclear Power School in Orlando after attending daily Mass during ~nt and discuSsing with friends the aims of their Navy education. While on unauthorized leave they 'traveled to Kokenparger's hQQle .•area in' the diocese of eo~bu, .Ohio, "to clear aU financial· obligations as well as to obtain .diocesan suppprt if possible," they said in. a written statement they prepared Apnl 6 before turning themselves in to Navy authorities the next day.

On April 3 the men visited Father Samuel E. Ritchey, a teacher at Fisher Catholic High School in Lancaster, Ohio, who has been .active in draft counseling. "They wanted to know the church's teaching in regard to nt-!.clear arms," the priest said, He said he based his answer to them on testimony on nuclear weapons by Cardina'l John Krol of Philadelphia before the U.S. Congress. . "I told them it is immoral to . use nuclear arms, immoral to threaten to use them, and morally neutral to possess them; tha:t it is immoral to use them even if they are used on us first," Father Ritchey said. Kokensarger and Wheeler said that they objected in conscience to U.S. nuclear policy because: CIA) The weapons proliferated by this policy are designed to (

kilt indiscriminately. "B) This policy i.s a fo~of international terrorism. "e) The volatile. and irreversible nature' of the arms- buildup resulting from this policy haS become uncontrollable, consuming vast quantiti~ of resources which leave vital needs of hu-· manity unsatisfied. I "D) Implementation of this policy has resulted in major developments in the _areas of "I'mt· strike' and 'limited exchange' armaments to meet every COn- . ceivable circumstance." As U.S. Navy members they were "faced with a moral obligation in direct opposition to assumed consti~tional obliga· tien." they said. They said they hoped their protest would help "'prevent others from acting out of ignorance on extremely important. matters such as this one." .

uestion corner, By Father

J~hn

Dietzen

Q. You have stated that long before Vatican Council II the Catholic Church accepted bap tism of certain PrOtestant churches, Including the Disciples of Christ. I was baptized In 1962 in the Catholic Church. Either you or the priest who baptized me are misinformed. In spite of my in· sistence that I was baptized properly previous to 1962, I was required to receive conditional baptism. ThIs caused a ilurtful situation for me and my family. (Ohio) . A. Several people wrote after

that column appeared with stor ies similar to yours. I believe you would encounter a much different situation if you were joining the Catholic Church to day. The statement to which I re ferred, which assumed the valid ity of baptism of most Protes tant congregations, appeared a little more than 30 years ago (a reply from the Holy Office, Dec. 28, 1949). If resulted not only from a better awareness by the Cath olic Church of baptism in these other 'churches, but also, to at least some degree, from a more developed theology and practice concerning baptism in some' of the Protestant denominations. The development in under standing has increased enorm· ously since that time, of course, making conditional baptism (or, as it is sometimes erroneously called, rebaptism) of converts to our faith relatively rare. Most times today, if a convert has belonged to one of the major Protestant denominations, condi tional baptism is given only if

the fact that the person was bap tized is uncertain, or if the in

dividual himself or herself has

a serious reason to doubt the

validity of the previous baptism.

'Present .regulations of the church, ·in fact, forbid condition

al baptism of converts without

. a reasonable doubt and serious investigation of the - previous baptism. (Rite of Reception of Baptized Christians into Full. Communion with the Catholic· Church, No.8). Because of the volume of mail it generally is impossible .for Father Dietzen to respond to correspolidence personally. Ques tions may be sent to him at at St. Mark's Parish, 1113 W.

Feehan's breathtaking window wall

Windows to the past Ify Sister Mary Faith

Harding, RSM

Prlm:lpal, Bishop Feehan

High School

Blending the old with the good of the new seems to be the path of progress. Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro is following that way with conversion of the back wall of its chapel from plain glass panels to an exquisite mix ture of museum-quality World War I era hand-painted glass and carefully crafted contemporary panes. The old is from original chapel windows of the former Mt. St.· Mary Convent in Fall River, from 1905 to 1930 the mother house of the Sisters of Mercy of the Fall River diocese. After the Mercy motherhouse moved to Cumberland, R.I., the convent continued in use as a home for sisters teaching at Fall River parochial schools. In 1946 'the community also opened Mt. St. Mary Academy at the con vent site. It remained in opera tion until 1971, then merged with two other Fall River girls' high schools to become Bishop Ger rard High School, a diocesan in stitution. Gerrard was closed in 1980, making the chapel artifacts avail able. The windows were given to Feehan by Bishop Daniel A. Cro nin, leaving the school with only the expense of their removal and replacement. Originally imported from Ger

'many, they comprise a triple paqel depicting the Annuncia tion, the Nativity and the Holy Family. With their Gothic side panels removed, they have been skillfully set into a contemporary background designed and color selected to complement their ex cellent quality. , The blend of old and new is further enhanced by newly add ed memorial donor inscription

plates in the lower portion of the windows. Each inscription weaves the thread of the educa tional past with that of the pres ent. Honored are Sister Mary' Carmela Corbett, RSM, first principal of Mt. St. Mary Acad emy; . Sister Marion Geddes, RSM, first principal of Feehan; Eugene R. Farrell, a beloved benefactor and an original mem ber of the Feehan corporation and board of trustees; living and de ceased Sisters of Mercy; and Fee han friends, alumni and faculty. The contemporary glass in the 'window wall's doors and tran soms highlights a Mercy shield

in each door, set in the midst of

a ray of light.

As one faces the wall, the

right door bears the commun

tory of the Fall River diocese.

On Mother's Day The KEY Program Says Thank You To All Foster Parents If Others Would Care To Share

Halt urged to Title I cuts WASHINGTON (NC) - Cath olic educators have urged Con gress to make no more cuts in the federal government's Title I program of special tutoring for educationally disadvantaged stu dents. Father Eugene P. Sullivan of the archdiocese of Boston noted that Massachusetts has a con stitutional amendment prevent ing state or local aid to church related .schools. Thus, he said, cuts in federal funding would be particularly burdensome, to schools of the commonwealth,

since they could not hope for other aid. "The proposal to cut Title I over the next three years is, in our opinion, sounding a general retreat from this nation's needy children." Father Thomas Galla gher, secretary for education, U.S. Catholic Conference, told the House appropriations sub committee on education. Repeating testimony delivered a month earlier to another House subcommittee, Father Gallagher said that even before the Reagan administration proposed cuts for

NEW YORK (NC) - A new book on Raoul WaIlenb~rg, a wealthy Swede who helped save· about 100,000 Hungarian Jews from the Nazis in World War II, shows that the Vatican strongly supported such efforts. "Raoul WaIlenberg: Swedisb Angel of Rescue" is by Harvey Rosenfeld, editor of a periodical devoted, to the Holocaust, the Nazi cam paign of genocide ag~inst the Jews. It cites documents released in 1980 detailing rescue efforts carried out by Archbishop An-

gelo Rotta, papal nuncio in Hun~ gary during the war, with the approval of Pope Pius XII. The book says Archbishop Rotta aid ed WaIlenberg'srescue efforts,' with the implicit consent of the Vatican issuing protective passes to Jews and housing them in church-owned buildings.
