By Pat McGowan The consultation of East Coast laity held last weekend at Mont Marie Conference Center, Holyoke, was "a great learning experience" and an opportunity to meet concerned and knowledgeable Catholics from other dioceses, agreed Fall River's delegates, Claudette and Aubrey Armstrong of St. Louis de France parish, Swansea, and Dagny and Frank Miller of Corpus ChTisti, Sandwich.

Mrs. Armstrong heads the Diocesan Council ofCathoIic Women and Miller is diocesan president of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

The Holyoke meeting was the last of four held throughout the nation in preparation for this fall's world Synod of Bishops. To take place in Rome, the synod will

address the role of laity in the church. Input from the"U.S. consultations, together With that from other nations, will provide material for discussion and eventual submission of conclusions to Pope John Paul II. Bishops at the Holyoke consultation were Baton Rouge Bishop Stanley J. Ott, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on the Laity; Albany Bishop Howard J. Hubbard, a laity committee member; and host Bishop Joseph F. Maguire of the diocese of Springfield.

95 men and women representing 13 states and 31 dioceses were at Holyoke, said Mrs. Armstrong.

After a welcome by Bishop Maguire and an initial session at which Dolores-Leckey, secretariat direc-

tor for the bishops' Committee on the Laity, explained the background of the consultations, they divided into 13 small groups.

The groups were thoroughly mingled, said Mrs. Miller, with diocesan delegates separated. The bishops participated in all sessions, she noted.

Each group chose a discussion topic, including spirituality, baptismal consciousness, adult education, decision-making in the church, evangelization, youth and layclergy collaboration.

In general, discussion sought to clarify weak and strong points of the chosen area and to offer suggestions for improvement.

For instance, a table discussing Turn to Page Six

During papal visit to Germany

Unity, pro-life were themes NC News Service Pope John Paul II used themes from Germany's past - Nazism and Christian divisions - in urging modern West Germans to protect life and pursue Christian unity during his April 30-May 4 visit to West Germany.

The pope beatified two victims of Nazi persecution and praised a late cardinal who spoke out against Nazi euthanasia policies. He told Protestant and Greek Orthodox church leaders to work to "increase our oneness" and called for the renewal of Catholic life.

In a Munster town square May I, the pope praised the late Cardinal Clemens August Grafvon Galen for his strong opposition to Nazi euthanasia programs and said the

church "expects" politicians to help protect the unborn.

"Euthanasia, mercy killing ostensibly on grounds of human sympathy, is again pronounced with alarming frequency and finds new, misled champions," he added.

Earlier in the day, the pope beatified Edith Stein, a Jewish woman who converted to Catholicism and died in a Nazi concentration camp.

Beatification is the last step before a person is canonized as a saint.

The church says Edith Stein was martyred for her Catholic faith, but some Jewish writers and spokesmen questioned whether she was martyred for her Christian faith or her Jewish heritage.

The pope, stressing that heritage, called her a "great daughter ofIsrael.

"Baptism as a Christian was by no means a break with her Jewish heritage," he told 75,000 people in an outdoor stadium in Cologne.

He quoted her as writing, "My return to God made me feel Jewish again.", Edith Stein, brought up as a Jew, became an atheist, then converted to Catholicism. She became a Carmelite nun, Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, and was arrested in Holland with other Catholics of Jewish descent after the Dutch bishops spoke against Nazi policies. She was executed in Auschwitz in 1942.

On May 3 in Munich's Olympic Stadium, the pope beatified Jesuit Father Rupert Mayer, who was arrested several times and imprisTurn to Page Six

Through almost 100 diocesan offices and church agencies nationwide, the U.S. Catholic Conference's Migration and Refuggee Services will participate as a "qualified designated entity," or organization designated to assist aliens to apply for amnesty. The Catholic agencies expect to help as many as I million aliens.

daughter of the late Thomas and Mary (Brennan) Kinsella entered the Sisters of Mercy in 1935.

Sister Kinsella taught at Fall River's former St. Patrick's and St. Mary's Cathedral schools before beginning a missionary career in Central America.

She taught at St. Catherine's Academy, Belize, and in La Ceiba and San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where she was an instructor at the Mazapan School and principal of Instituto San Vincente de Paul.

In the 1960s, she was principal of SSt Peter and Paul School, West Warwick, RI, and at the time of her death was on leave from the pastoral care department of Mercy Regional Medical Center, Vicksburg, MS, to spend three months working with the elderly in La Ceiba.

Sister Kinsella was buried at Resurrection cemetery, Cumberland. She is survived by two sisters, Agnes Anthony of Arizona and Mary V. Ryan of Glens Falls, NY.

the living word

the moorin&.-, Mary and "religious" America It is interesting to note that of late many fundamentalist preachers have devoted a great deal of ex~en~ive tele~ision time to denouncing the role of the Blessed Vugm Mary m the Catholic Church. Indeed, efforts to discredit Marian devotion are a hallmark offundamental evangelists. Swaggart, Roberts and Ankerberg have been more than active in their ridicule of Catholic doctrine regarding Mary.

Amid religious bodies such as' the Jehovah Witnesses, the Pentecostal Assemblies, and the Baptists, Mary has little or no standing. In fact, in so-called evangelistic efforts to reform Catholics, Mary is the first one out the door.

With this in mind, the recent encyclical letter of Pope John Paul II on Mary takes on new importance and deserves significant consideration.

How can those who hold to the Word of God, the Bible, ignore Mary's role in the unfolding of revelation? By what sleight of mind can fundamentalists dismiss as pagan her biblical reality? Why do so many work so hard at deleting her role in salvation history?

These are but a few ofthe many questions that surface as this new Marian encyclical is offered to the Christian community.

In it, the Holy Father acknowledges the discrepancies between Catholic and Protestant doctrine about Mary's part in salvation and clearly states that this situation must be resolved.

Obviously, apart from Mary we cannot approach comprehension of the mystery of the Incarnation, The pope sees it as hopeful that some ecclesial communities are finding agreement with the Catholic Church on fundamental points of Christian belief, including matters relating to our Lady. In this encyclical, he makes special note of how profoundly the Catholic Church, the ancient Church of the east and the Orthodox Church feel united by their love and praise of Mary.

This is a point often overlooked by Protestant communities, especially those who have made the media their message: while attacking Roman rite Catholics, they are also vilifying and debasing millions of Eastern rite Christians. They fail to note that brethren ofthese churches have suffered even to the point of bloodshed for their fidelity to the Lord and his Mother.

Mary, however, occupies a special and privileged place in the prayer life of the ancient Eastern churches. How can fundamentalists ignore such historic reality? Has hardness of heart led so many of them to the point of actual vilification of Mary's role in the Church? Often in this country, unfortunately, it is a matter of bias against all Catholic church teachings.

As efforts are made to clean up the fallout of "Gospelgate," perhaps courteous consideration will be given to the truths so important to those millions whose faith heritage far predates the Reformation. In a country that supposedly prides itself on its defense of personal freedoms, there should be no room for the continuous stream of invectives hurled at Catholics, especially with regard to their devotion to Mary.

It is indeed with joy and hop'e that Catholics anticipate the special Marian year proclaimed by the Holy Father and beginning on the feast of Pentecost, June 7.

The year gives us an opportunity to affirm our belief in the cooperation ofthe Mother of God in the work of our salvation.

It also gives us an opportunity to help others come to a deeper appreciation of our faith.

As· the Pope states, the year "is a Marian light cast upon ecumenism."

Asbestos rules seen crippling WASHINGTON (NC)-Catholic schools around the country may have to pay "a bundle" to comply with rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency that would require the removal of asbestos from school buildings.

The EPA proposal is a followup to 1982 rules that called for schools to inspect for asbestos and to notify parents and teachers. The new rules would require certified contractors to inspect and remove asbestos found in the school build-

In 1984 federal assistance was made ·available in the form of loans and some grants covering up to half the cost of removing asbestos from schools, but Kellen Flannery, of the Council for American Private Education, said the assistance is minimal.

Ms. Flannery said "there is no question" that the new proposal "is going to cost enormous amounts of money."

"The costs ofthe project in some cases will be so enormous that it will unduly stress already-tight budgets and could force a school to close," she said.

For the sake of public safety and health, Catholic schools and churches should be included in any federal assistance programs because they are "gathering places for citizens. We simply are asking for equitable treatment," Canan said.

He estimated that more than 90 percent of schools that complied with the earlier asbestos inspections would have to go through the procedure again with certified inspectors, this time paying anywhere from $600 to $3,000.

The cost of then controlling the asbestos would range even more, he said.

"A small repair - if the law will permit that - could cost $250 to $2,000," he said.

"Full abatement could easily be in the $100,000 range for something like a new gym ceiling," he added.

Schools will have to continue monitoring buildings where asbestos is now enclosed but could be released into the air, he said.

Canan said he does not believe the U.S. bishops are aware of the "big-ticket costs" in health and safety regulations that could close schools.

Schools also may have to deal with other hazardous substances such as radon, a radioactive gaseous chemical, and with hazardous situations such as leaky underground storage tanks.

"I don't think anybody has any vague notion of the cost" of removing hazardous substances, he said.

A letter from Mom This is the time of year we mothers get affirmed, brunched and gifted. We love it, of course, but it carries a degree of discomfort with the honor because when we hear that we are perfect, we know it isn't so. Not only are we not perfect persons, we also know we did an imperfect job of parenting. If we had it to do over, we'd do a much better job.

In order to free us from this baggage of guilt, I'm going to make a rather unusual suggestion.

On this Mother's Day, let's consider giving our children the gift of asking their forgiveness for being human. (Grown children, of course.

We can still correct our malparenting with young ones and won't have to apologize later on.)

I reflected upon this idea after I took a course on depression in preparation for a workshop I was slated to present on women and depression. The psychologist who taught us has counseled hundreds of depressed people and she shared a great deal of practical as well as psychological information.

We learned that the roots of depression are sown early in childhood by parents who mean to do a good job but who saddle children with resentments, anger and low self-esteem that can plague them the rest of their lives.

The overly critical parent, while attempting to instill good behaviors with criticism, often instills

lifelong scripts like, "Big boys don't cry"; "Nice girls don't get angry"; and "People won't like you if you don't conform."

As I sat and listened, I realized with sinking heart that I fostered a number of destructive scripts on my children. I suspect the feeling is universal among parents.

Finally I asked, "If we nurtured any of these destructive scripts in our children and they are now grown, is there anything we can do to undo the damage?"

She replied, "The best gift we can give grown children is admission of our weaknesses and failures and a request for forgiveness.

Tell them we did what we thought best at the time and now realize we were wrong." She added emphatically, "It could save them hours on a therapist's couch someday."

What a relief to know that it's riot too late to tell our kids we're sorry, that we meant well, that what we did, we did out of love, and that we parented the best way we knew how.

I hasten to add that I have wonderful growing-up and grownup kids but that I wish I had a chance to do it over again. I write here an open letter asking their forgiveness for being human and wrong - at times. There were too many times oftoo many expectations.

• If I were to re-parent these same children, I would relax and enjoy

A look at sports In the past, anyone who wanted to run in a marathon needed only to sign up for it.

This is no longer the case. The growing number of interested participants has made it necessary to limit the number of entrants.

Could the growing interest in sports be telling us something about the times we live in, other than that some people are interested in staying in shape?

And would there be as many active sports enthusiasts if it weren't for television? In the age of television people can watch more sports and come to know more about how to play them.

People can watch a tennis match on television, with instant replay of its most important moments.

Image after image showing how to make a good shot is imprinted on our brains. We have a ringside seat and can feel the pulse of the crowd even though we aren't there in person. Sometimes we are so drawn into the action that our bodies wrench during certain intense shots.

A psychologist might say that getting deeply involved like this is one way of conditioning'people to want to participate in a particular sport.

Those considerations make me wonder what 'is motivating the droves of joggers and cyclists and the dramatic increase in health spas. Can they be ·partly the result ofelectronic images which cause people to feel they have to be part of what they see?

Or are people into sports because they have become victims of advertisers' opportunism? Seldom in history have so many businesses made it their business to capitalize on sports.

Within the last three decades

sports equipment has become a major industry. Running outfits are so attractive they make you want to run iust to wear them.

Are people being attracted to a sport or to the flashy equipment needed to participate?

Everyone knows what sticklers athletes can be about their food, about the evils of smoking and their desire to live a clean life. The question must be raised whether sports are a means of revolt for some against the way the earth is being polluted.

Is the desire of some athletes for clean living prompting them to participate in sports as a revolution against the way their life is becoming unnatural? Do they want to be in the vanguard for promoting naturalized foods, unpolluted air and water and nonnuclear fuels?

We live in self-indulgent times.

The soft life is available to more people than ever before in history.

Are sports for many a way of keeping their need for asceticism alive?

Is it the fun of the game or the need for some form of discipline that prompts. participation?

them more. I would accept God's basic and wonderfully unique design of each instead of trying to form them into my image of a perfect child. I wouldn't overreact to normal albeit frustrating childhood behaviors.

I would allow them to show more anger and to disagree more with me. I would state my own needs and feelings more forcefully instead of playing the martyr and then allowing my feelings to erupt in anger. I would pressure them less.

I would let them enjoy being children rather than seeing them as premature adults. I wouldn't view every negative behavior as a potential adult problem. I wouldn't hassle them so much about messy rooms and eating peas before dessert.

I'd say, "I'm sorry," "I'm unsure" and "I'm human" more often. I wouldn't try to be in control all the time and I'd be sillier. I'd tell them often how rich my life was because of them.

There! I've done it - publicly.

It wasn't hard and it is a relief.

Today sports are popular as never before. Could it be that we are seeing many personal revolts against some undesirable trends in society? That behind all the huffing and puffing there is more than a finish-line to make or match to be won?

Changes await a returnee Q. I am a Catholic who has come back to the Church after nearly 40 years away. As you can imagine, there are a lot of new things for me to get used to. But at least I thought I knew the prayers.

Whatever happened to the Holy Ghost?

I've been embarrassed even at Mass when everyone else comes out with Holy Spirit in the sign of the cross or other prayers. This may be a small point, but why the change? (Illinois) A. Welcome back. I'm happy you have been able to move into today's church as comfortably as you obviously have.

Any living language (one in daily use) changes almost everyday to some degree. Quite cOIDmonly, words may have one meaning at one time and a different, perhaps opposite meaning at another.

We find this comparing the English language of Shakespeare, for example, to our own, but it doesn't take hundreds of years.

When the word ghost entered our language from the AngloSaxon it meant spirit, something immaterial.

As we are aware, of course, in our lifetime, apart from our Christian use of the word for the third person of the Trinity, the word has an almost exclusively different meaning. Ghosts are goblins; using that word for God has a confusing, if not bizarre, connotation for anyone not of our faith.

Thus it was replaced by Englishspeaking nations with "spirit," which represents in modern English more what we mean by the word as we apply it to the Holy Spirit.

Q. The practice of circumcision puzzles me. I understand the medical reasons why circumcision may be recommended. But what could circumcision possibly have to do with religion?

It is said in the Bible that Jewish men were to be circumcised. And the Bible says Jesus was circumcised. Is there any reason?

A. Not too many years ago I would have had to say no one knows the answer tq your que~tion.

Perhaps that is still true, but there is the possibility of an answer in what we have learned from some ancient inscriptions discovered in the last few years.

It is quite possible that circumcision is closely related to human sacrifice, a practice apparently. widespread in some ancient cultures of the Middle East and perhaps the Far East.

A few years ago archeologists in the Near East discovered a text supposedly written bya priest of the Phoenician culture. According to this writing a god named El, to prevent destruction of his city, sacrificed his son to his father, a god named Heaven.

El then circumcised himself and commanded that all his followers should themselves be circumcised to avoid destruction of the city.

The rite of circumcision, in this tradition at least, seems to be a substitute and symbol for human

,JOHN DIETZEN sacrifice. A part of the body is substituted for the whole.

Ancient cultures saw an intimate relationship between the individual and the entire tribe or community. Thus the fact that this sacrifice involved part ofthe organ of procreation proclaimed the whole nation or clan, present and future, was consecrated to the god it worshiped.

In this context it is easy to see why the descendants of Abraham came to view circumcision as a fitting and necessary expression of their covenant with the God of Israel.

St. Saviour Nursery marks 25th year On May 3, St. Saviour Day Nursery, New Bedford, celebrated 25 years of service to children.

Bishop Daniel A. Cronin was principal celebrant for a Mass of thanksgiving in the convent chapel of the Sisters of the Resurrection.

Four of the original group of five sisters who opened the nursery are still at the historic residence at 405 County Street. Formerly owned

by Judge G. Ponte, it was secured for the day nursery in December, 196\., by the late Bishop James L. Connolly.

The first open house and registration for 3 and 4-year-olds took place in March, 1962. Then as

now, the sisters work for the physical, inteJlectual, emotion and spiritual development oftheir charges, caring for each with respect, understanding and personal warmth.

In addition to their primary apostolate at the nursery, the sisters have for years helped in preparations for the weekly diocesan television Mass.

The Sisters of the Resurrection were founded in Rome in 1891 by Celine Borzecka, a widow, and her daughter, Hedwig. Arriving in the United States in 1900, the community serves in Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida in addition to Massachusetts.

A mission in Sao Paulo, Brazil, was recently opened and there are also houses in Australia, Poland, Argentina, England and Italy. In addition to the day nursery, community works include teaching and nursing.

The Eastern province superior is Sister Joan. Former New Bedford superiors are Sister Leandra, still on the St. Saviour staff; Sister Rose, the first superior, now in residence at St. Saviour; and Sister Pauline, now stationed elsewhere.

The present superior is Sister Krystyna.

Also on the present St. Saviour roster are Sisters Jane and Bertha.

Dissatisfactions included unequal spiritual development in clergy and laity, interparish competitiveness, lack of commitment to study or implementation of actions decided upon and emphasis on "control rather than compassion."

Needs seen by the group included commitment "to be a listening church," ministry of like to like and focus on healing and forgiven~ss.

ness to take on responsibility."

Problems listed included "lack of emphasis on prayer as the core of Christian life," lack of youth participation in church activities, insufficient trust between clergy and laity, disinterest of clergy in laity programs, lay apathy and lack of education on the part of both clergy and laity. Clergy were cited as unaware of contemporary social conditions and attitudes and laity as failing to understand the language of church teachings.

The group recommended clarification oflay, religious and clergy roles, reexamination of the theolo'ogy of ministry, provision of common experiences, including retreats, spiritual direction and guidance in prayer for aJl groups and better preparation for lay ministers. A special point was made of the need to "acknowledge ethnic experience and culture," specificaJly with regard to the Hispanic community.

Both Mrs. Armstrong and Frank MiJler were in groups discussing coJlaboration among laity, religious and clergy. They found among satisfactory aspects a general understanding of collegiality, increased communication among the .

Suggestions included integration of faith and action by means of homilies, liturgies and education; provision of more opportunities for reflection on one's faith and "lived experiences"; and articulation of the spirituality of daily life for the laity.

At an open forum, concerns brought up included the ro~e of women and youth in the church, teachings on sexuality, attitudes toward minorities, clergy education, clarification of the difference between laity and the ordained, and the intrinsic validity of lay ministry, which "should not depend on the scarcity of priests."

As delegates began the consultation, they received a list of "hoped-for outcomes." It included the hope that each participant would feel free to share his/her experience of being a lay person in the U.S. church and would feel "listened to with appreciation."

The diocesan delegates felt that goal was achieved, as was another, that they leave with a sense of having "been part of the pre-synodal process."

Papal visit Continued From Page One oned for his outspoken opposition to the Nazis - particularly for their harassment of the Catholic Church.

The priest died shortly after World War II. Pope John Paul urged the crowd of more than 80,000 to follow the late Father Mayer's example in defending "God's rights."

At a coal mine near Bottrop in Germany's industrial heartland the previous day, the pope called unemployment "a social scandal."

Leaders in government and industry "cannot simply accept unemployment as something given - nor can they trust alone in market mechanisms," he told an audience of 10,000, including miners in orange coveralls and hardhats.

Unemployment in the Ruhr region is two-thirds higher than the rest of the country. Competition from alternative energy sources and foreign steel have crippled its coal mines and steel furnaces.

In nearby Gelsenkirchen, the pope told an enthusiastic crowd of 90,000 that he shared their worries "about the conveyer belts coming to a stop and the furnaces in the steel works being extinguished.

"I want you for your part to share my anxiety lest the fire of the faith dies down, lest ashes remain rather than live coals," he said.

According to church statistics, less than 25 percent of West German Catholics nationwide, and less than 10 percent in the major cities, practice their faith.

The April 2 Mass was celebrated at a soccer stadium on a starshaped stage rimmed with yeJlow flowers. The stage symbolized the yeJlow stars the Nazis forced Jews to wear.

The pope began his day at the Marian shrine of Kevelaer, near the Belgian border, where he said humanity needs "the peace of Jesus Christ."

On May 3, a planned outdoor Mass for an expected 50,000 people near Augsburg was canceJled when a freak spring storm drenched the area in rain and snow.

A hastily scheduled replacement Mass in Augsburg's cathedral was attended by a standing room only crowd of 4,000.

Augsburg played a key role in the Protestant Reformation which divided the German Empire first as the site of the Augsburg Confession, in which Protestant leaders outlined their beliefs, and then at the Peace of Augsburg, which ended a series of bloody religious clashes by dividing the empire into Protestant and Catholic kingdoms.

There the pope caJled for cqntinued ecumenical efforts.

Despite a lack of "fuJI agreementwith regard to the Eucharist," he said, "there is still a lot that we can do together."

According to Eugene Brand of the World Lutheran Federation, "disputes and misunderstandings from the Reformation period have been resolved, at least to the point where differences need not be church-dividing."

from a trip to Hawaii or the Holy Land or going out to lunch.

As for Disneyworld explicitly: people there' arc able to relax. enjoy excellent weather cleanliness. constant consideration and hos~ pitality in a harmonious learning environment. It is a dream-you arc right about that!

The EPCOT experience, especially, points to our God and Creator in the same way that a baby. a rose or a sunset does. It is a Hymn of Praise to our Creator!

You do Walt Disney a grave injustice when you say that the "empire" developed from a "mere cartoon concept." Walt Disney himself said that the concept developed from" a search for that which is good, to show people the goodness of this world."

Yes. there is much the Church can learn from tbe Disney phenomenon about peace, harmony, community, elevating people's spirits, treating people with respect, welcoming all people and teaching through example and excellence.

Wouldn't we "change the world" if we showed people the good which comes from the sacrifice involved 10 save up and spend time with each other and the people we meet in a· model of a possible world of vision, peace and har-' many!

Books needed Dear Editor.

In 1980 I asked your assistance in letting books for the library of our young missionary seminary.

We asked for books on Spirituality, TheololY (all branches), Scripture, Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology, Literature and Liberal Arts. We asked that they be packed in sturdy packeu and that postage should not be wasted on tattered or out-of--date publications.

You will be happy to know there has been a tremendous response: and we DOW have 20,000 titles at our new campus at Gwagwalada, Abuja, and here at Iperu.

However there are still many gaps in our libraries and I believe there are still many people who would be anxious to help us.

Books for either campus may be sent to me at 1he address below.

Diocese of Fall River -

Today's priests work in a world beset with situations and problems undreamed of a few decades ago. The following stories highlight some of them.

immun~ deficiency syndrome are <Iiagnosed daily, "our Catholic Charities are providing some sort of financial support to 35 percent of the people with AIDS," At the same time, he said, church ministry to those with AIDS must be expanded. AIDS is a digase largely associated with homosexual men and intravenous drug users, but warnings have emerged that it is spreading to a more general population.

In the Reporter interview, Archbishop Quinn also addressed current controversies over church dealings with homose,.uals and

with Dignity, an unofficial Catholic homosexual organization, Archbishop Quinnsaid the AIDS crisis hilS not changed his perspec~ tive on homosexual people because he had been meeting and dealing with them before the AIDS epidemic began. "My perceptions are not negative... , I know that many of them are very good and wonderful people, and I feel that," he said.

He said he thought the anger and alienation from the church felt by many homosexual Catholics is "being quietly appeased" through church ministry to people with AIDS, "but it won't happen over· night. And I don't think there is any way to have that happen overnight."

When asked about recent actions by some bishops to bar Dignity from using church facilities, Archbishop Quinn said he would lik~ to "work together" with Dignity, but cooperation had to come from both sides. He also said that issue should he kept separate from the issue of church care for homosexuals dying of AIDS. Dignity is not specifically and exclusively related to the question of those who are dying," he said.

"Furthermore, Dignity is not the only structured approach to dealing with the needs and problems of gay people. In other words, iI's not the only pebble on the beach."

To equate denial of church facil· ities to Dignity groups with lack of church care for "gay people with AIDS," he said, "would be a leap of logic that I don't think could be sustained by analysis."

Asked about the perception that , homosexuals are being kicked out of Catholic churches while they are facing a major health crisis, Archbishop Quinn said, '"But one might turn it around the other way and ask why doesn't Dignity be niore cooperative with the church in order to help the situation.

"We would aHlike to," he con· tinued, "1 have told the leaders of Dignity that I regret very much that J cannot approve of them, because J think they could be very helpful. If they would not be attacking the moral teaching of the church. we could all work together.

But they insist on this, and that makes it very -difficult."

Cudinal Bernardin Also discussing AIDS at II national conference on the disease held in Chicago was Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. He told doctors and public health officials that the church's primary concern is forthe "well-being of people, not their condemnation, however much we may disagree with their actions."

"I must tell you that, as a pastor and a teacher, I cannot support the prevention of AIDS by promoting 'safe sex' in educational programs as a solution to the spread of AIDS - any more than 1 could support prevention of the disease by promoting safe drug abuse.

Problems of priest alcoholics discussed WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Clergy Council on Alcoholism and Related Drug Problems will hold its 39th annual symposium June 22-26 in Jacksonville, Fla. Father John F.X. O'Neill, its executive director, iaid in a telephone interview that multiple subI>tance abuse is an increasing con· cern of the council and clergy treatment centers around the country.

Older priests who have an alcohol problem are more likely to suffer only from alcoholism, he said; whereas younger priests come from an environment in which experimentation with illegal drugs and frequent use of other drugs is

more common, so alcoholism among them is often complicated by other chemical dependencies.

Father O'Neill said that church permission for alcoholic priests to substitute grape juice for wine at Mass ill "working smoothly"under a new procedure, developed in 1985.

In 1983 the Vatican withdrew a 1974 permission under which American bi.shops had been able to let recovering alcoholic priests use grape juice in place of wine at Mass. Priests who already had the permission retained it, but no new permissions were to be given.

Among those working with recovering alcoholic priests, the permission was seen as an important

part of recovery, since a priest must receive both bread and wine when he celebrates Mass.

In response to strong pleas by U.S. bishops, the Vatican restored the diipensation. stipulating that it must come from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of th~ Faith instead of from the local bis-hop, Although bishops dislike th~ paperwork and additional time involved, the congregation does regularly grant the dispensation, Father O'Neill said. Another rea· son for its importance, he added, is increasing use of the drug Anta· buse among recovering alcoholics.

Antabuse causes a violent physical reaction to ingestion of even a small amount of alcohol, he said.

Good with people, good with God SACRAMENTO, Calif. (NC) - Priests need good human relationships for II good spiritual life, Bishop Francis A. Quinn ofSacramento said in an address to clergy on sexuality and the priesthood.

Human relationships are important because one's relationship with God "is only as healthy" as one's "relationship with other human beings," he said.

Bishop Quinn's remarks were in an address on how he has tried "to deaJ with stress, growth and sexu· ality" in his own life. He originally gave the address at a meeting in Danville, Calif., for members of diocesan priests' senates and later used it as the basis for his 1987 Easter message to priests of the Sacramento diocese.

He said all people. including priestl, need intimacy. which he defined as "aeall to innocent touch and a psychological nudity" and "lhe capacity to share our strengths, hopes, fears, sorrows, spirituality, secrets, feelings."

Lack of intimacy "can lead to hoarding, self·centeredneu and narcissism," he added.

Bishop Quinn said he deals with stress through writing, jogging, and being with people.

At difficult times, he said. writ-

ing out his plans' and insights has had "the effect of releasing strain."

"For physical release oftensions, I walk every night that I can. 1 do some jogging in between lhe walking," he said.

He also said that frorn books and magazines he clips and tapes to his desk rules for relieving tensions and recommendations on how to maintain peace of mind.

He said he also repeats three words: "calm, happy, relaxed."

But he also said some stress can be good, for example when it gives "incentive to get things accomplished."

to walk or jog after dark," he said.

"About 10 years ago, Igotadog for the parish," he said. "looking back on it, possibly it war. because of loneliness."

Bishop Quinn also said that "if there were optional celibacy, there would probably be relief from some of the stress that now exists."

However, he added, "married life in the clergy, we know, would bring many new tensions. Clergy of other faiths attest to this."

The 65-year.otd prelate alsotold how he deals with loneliness, which, he said. "can become more acute in the middle-age or later years."

"At times, rather than watching TV alone, I go to the movies just to be in a big room, enjoying something with other people," he said.

Dear Dr. Kenny: ] am on our community park board. We are about to review applicants for coaches In olil' Little Leaaue bueblilland Summer Swim procrams.

Any luuesdons on what we should be lootlnl for? Wbat makes a loocI coach? (]ndiana) In college and certainly in professionalsports, good coaches must have three basic qualities: expertise in their sport, knowledge at conditioning techniques and the psychological ability to motivate.

However, in summer programs for young children. none of these qualities are as important as the coach's basic orientation toward children. Summer sports programs for elementary school children need to be fun and to teach the youngsters something about life and about how to get along with others.

The first and major quality I would look for in a summer coaCh is love of childrert. This is more important than how much he knows about baseball or swimming. Will he orshe put the child first? Can he or she be patient?

Here are some behaviors of a poor summer coach, one for whom the children can appear secondary.

I. He or she is always complaining about the umpire's or referee's calls.

2. He or she believes in the star system, including most valuable player, all-star pmes and focusing on the top players.

3. When he or she loses, there is a long list of excuses or people to blaJ;lle.

Here are the corre-sponding reactionsofa cbildrerK:ome-fmlt coach.

I. He or she accepts the umpire's decisions, though there may be an occasional and momentary outburst at a particUlarly bad call.

The coach sets the exampleforthe players. learning to make the best of a hard decision and getting on with the game.

2. He or she believes in a policy ofpartieipation where all the children have a chance to play. Everyone is important and people ate more important than the game they play, 3. Th~ coa'ch strives very hard to win but if the team loses. he or she leads them across the field to congratulate the winners. The coach models how to lose with class and like a good sport.

Baseball ability is not the major' purpose of Little League. Neither

Carmelite rule comment ~ought WASHINGTON (NC) ~ The Vatican is seeking comment from the workl.'s cloistered Catmelite nuns on draft legislation Which, if adopted. would reinstate some of the strict practices of the past.

The draft. prepared by the Vatican Congreption for Religious and Secular Institutes at the direction of Pope John Paul II. would have nuns wearing veils over their faces, going to the sacrament of reconciliation in the presence'of a witness, and following a strict cloister which would rarely allow attendance at conferences or educational meetings.

The document was sent to the 826 Carmelite monasteries worldwide at the end of 1986.

Justice in church: a

do-it~yourself

UNITED NAT}ONS (NC) The Catholic Church in EI Salvador has received the U.N. Children's Fund Maurice Pate Award for its "constant and tireless work" in support of peace and child survival. .

Archbishop Arturo Rivera Damas of San Salvador, EI Salvador, accepted the $25,000 award in a ceremony at the United Nations. It is named in honor of UNICEF's first executive director, Maurice Pate.

The agency's executive director, James Grant, praised the church's "unprecedented accomplishment" in negotiating several one-day ceasefires to allow nationwide vaccination campaigns to proceed safely.

Archbishop Rivera Damas said that before the immunization campaigns, more children were victims of preventable diseases than were casualties of the nation's civil war.

Grant said that as a result of vaccination campaigns led by the Salvadoran Ministry of Health during the last three years, EI Salvador had immunized about 75 percent of the nation's children under 5.

Smith, R-N.J., also praised the Salvadoran church for negotiating nine vaccination ceasefires, known as "days of tranquillity."

The church also helped clear up myths regarding the vaccinations, Smith said. Some children developed fevers after the first of the series of shots, and parents were reluctant to complete the series, he said. The church explained, "mostly through sermons," that this was normal, he added.

The Salvadoran immunizations were part of a larger campaign to protect Central American children from pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles and diphtheria.

Compassion but no quick fixes from Vatican

No laity at laity synod VATICAN CITY (NC) - The October world Synod of Bishops will discuss the role of the laity in the church and the world, yet no lay person will be a voting member at the synod.

In the United States, Canada and Western Europe, the ordination of women is a major topic for many lay people, yet the issue probably will not receive much attention.

While these situations may seem ironic or an indication of church insensitivity, they are normal under synod rules.

Under canon law, the overwhelming number of voting delegates to the synod must be chosen from bishops. Canon law also allows for selection of several priests who are officials of religious orders.

"It is a synod of bishops. I cannot change it into a synod of laity or a general assembly of the people of God," said Archbishop Jan Schotte, synod secretary general, at an April press conference.

,.-

Although ordination of women is a hot topic, tec~nically it does not fall under the 1987 theme: "The Vocation and Mission of the Laity in the Church -and in the

World 20 Years After the Second Vatican Council."

Pope John Paul II and Vatican and synod officials have been explicit in saying that the role of the laity is restricted to nonordained ministries.

The working document for the synod, sent to the world's bishops in April, mentions discussion of ordained ministry only in terms of the need to clearly differentiate it from nonordained ministry, so that lay people can better understand their role.

The vast majority of the bishops' conferences answering a Vatican questionnaire on main issues to be discussed at the synod did not me'ltion ordination of women.

"Few spoke of this in their answers," said Archbishop Schotte, the person responsible for compiling the answers.

"Maybe many bishops realized that a synod on the laity is not the place to discuss all the problems of the church," he said.

This does not mean that the role of women in the church will not be discussed. But Archbishop Schotte and the working document frame the question within the tasks specifically assigned to the laity and

the need to assure that there is no discrimination between men and women in these lay roles.

Individual bishops, however, can still raise the issue offemale priests during synod debates if they wish.

Right now, though, indications are that if this happens, it will not produce an in-depth discussion of the issue.

Even if it did, the synod cannot on its own authority resolve the issue.

"It is the role of the Synod of Bishops to discuss the questions on their agenda and to express their desires about them but not to resolve them or to issue decrees about them," says canon law.

Canon law allows _the pope to give - "deliberative powers" to a world Synod of Bishops, but this has not happened.

The norm has been for popes to use synod suggestions as the basis for their own documents on the issues discussed.

Basically, the synod is a sounding board for advising the pope, who under canon law is empowered to choose the theme, determine the specific topics on the agenda and have the final say regarding synod suggestions.

TURIN, Italy (NC) - The Vatican feels compassion for sterile married couples, but violating church moral teachings to have a child is no answer to such problems, says Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

In a newspaper interview, Cardinal Ratzinger defended the Vatican's March procreation document which condemned some techniques, such as in vitro fertilization, in which conception occurs outside the wife's body.

He also asked bishops to talk to Catholic doctors and officials of Catholic health institutions opposed to the procreation document.

"We have the maximum respect and the maximum compassion for the sufferings of sterile couples.

But it is one thing - and very easy - to express compassion. It is another thing to reflect on a positive response to be given at the ethical level," he said.

"I must say right away that artificial fecundity is not a technique for curing sterility," he added.

"Artificial procreation is a substitution technique which makes human life possible, and it is here that the ethical question arises," he said in an interview appearing in La Stampa, an Italian daily published in Turin.

The procreation document is "a bit abstract and rather dry" because as a guideline for the universal church, it does not try to solve specific local and national situations, the cardinal said.

This is the task of local bishops, he said.

"The bishops should not -limit themselves to repeating what Rome says. They should translate it into the context of every country, every culture," he added.

This includes dialogue aimed at convincing Catholics who do not accept the document's teachings, he said.

"The structure of the church does not imply that every dialogue take place here in Rome. It can be decentralized," he said.

"Dialogue, though, does not mean taking the issue -back to point zero," he said.

The procreation document "is the position of the magisterium, from which there is no turning back," said Cardinal Ratzinger.

The cardinal asked Catholic health institutions to conform to church teachings but did not say if action would be taken against any that use techniques declared immoral.

Previously, the cardinal had said such situations should be resolved by dialogue between the local bishops and institution officials.

Before issuing the document, the Vatican held broad consultations with theologians, scientists and medical researchers, he said.

But the final decision was made by church authorities and approved

by Pope John Paul II, he said.

"We cannot leave it up to a referendum," he declared.

Prior to issuance of the document, there was disagreement among some bishops' conferences on the moral nature of "artificial procreation" between husband and wife, he said.

The Austrian bishops approved of this, said Cardinal Ratzinger.

"Others had said no. The majority assumed a prudent middle position," he said.

NCCD president asks Reagan to keep alien families intact WASHINGTON (NC) - The president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops h'as asked President Reagan" to- personally, intervene in federal immigration policy so that families are not split l,lp in the process of legalizing -aliens. . In a letter to Reagan dated May 4, Archbishop John L. May of St. Louis', NCCB president, said he decided to write "because of your longstanding concern regarding the importance of the family."

• The 1986 immigration law "extends the promise oflegal status to many who have heretofore been existing in the shadows of society," wrote Archbishop May. "For this we are grateful.

"Without your intervention, however, we feel that lack of a national policy will surely result in the separation of families.~· The letter was released at a Washington news conference called by the U.S. Catholic Conference's division of Migration and Refugee Services May 4, the day before the

federal government began accept-· ing applications for legalization.

The 1986 immigration law allows aliens who have resided iJIegally in ; the United States since before Jan. I, 1982, to apply for legaliz~d status. I~ also fines employers who; hire illegal aliens.

USCC officials and Los Angeles Archbishop Roger Mahony. have expressed concern that families will be split up when some aliens qualify for -legalization but their' spouses do not in cases where the spouse came to the United States since 1982.

In many cases, immigrant wives and their children have followed the male breadwinner to the United States after he has found employment in this country.

Attached to Archbishop May's letter to Reagan was a five-page statement titled "Problem Analysis and Proposed Solution," containing the USCC's proposal that: - Non-qualifying spouses and minor children of undocumented aliens eligible for temporary legal

status be granted "deferred action status" until they can apply for residency under the Immigration and Nationality Act. - These immigrants be granted authorization to work. ' . Allowing' separation of families is "clearly contrary to a most fundamental principle of U.S. immi~ gration law and policy: the sanctity of the family unit," the statement'said; adding that amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act made in 1965 establish family unification as the "guiding forc~ of U.S. immigration policy."

by INS Commissioner Alan Nelson April 30.

De~pite obstacles, said Msgr.

DiMarzio, "at last substantial numbers of the most marginalized among uS will emerge into the mainstream offull participation in American society." .

But, he cautioned', the "betterment of the lives of many an~ of the' nation"- depends upon how fairly INS implements the.legalizatjon program. " .

"The world now waits with anticipation, to see whether the American government will change its historical course in its treatment of welcoming immigrants," Msgr. DiMarzio said.

Changes made in the final draft of immigration rules:

At the news conference, Msgr.

Nicholas DiMarzio, executive director of Migration and Refugee Services, said he was disappointed with the final draft of immigration - Permit ~liens to submit certiregulations which will be used to fied copies of original documents implement the 1986 law.

Concerns of church officials re- when they apply for legalization. garding the break-up of families - Original documents must be preand high legalization application sented "whenever possible" at the fees were not addressed by changes personal interview with INS permade in the final draft, announced sonnel.

- Allow -aliens who left the country afie'r Nov. 6, such as for the <;::hrisimas holida'ys, to apply for legalization if they have since returned to the United States.

-; Requi~e employers only to verify t\1~ residency ~tatus of workers hired after Nov. 6 who are still working after June 1. Employers will have until -Sept. I to prove these employees are legal. All new hires after June I, however, must be verified within three days, unless the necessary documertts ~ave been lost or difficult to obtain. In those case~ they have three weeks.

- Remove Medicaid from the list of government aid considered "public cash assistance." Whether or not an alien receives public assistance is one criterion used to judge whether he or she is likely to become a state burden and should, therefore, be disqualified.

INS has set up a toll-free number that may be called for information: (800) 777-7700.

What's on your mind?

By TOM LENNON

Q. Can you tell me what an alcohol and drug treatment center is like? I mean one wbere teenagers can go. (Ohio) .

A. In search of an answer,.I talked with a counselor at a local treatment center. What he told me probably applies, with minor variations, to most ofthese institutions.

The 30 to 40 days and nights that you will spend there will be expensive and are not to be regarded as a vacation or a time to loaf.

Indeed, if you are fortunate, the center will enable you to continue your studies there so that when you return to "real life" you will not be far behind in school work.

You will have a comfortable room and a roommate. You'll get plenty of good and substantial

food but because it is prepared for large numbers of people, it may not be quite as tasty as mom's cooking.

When you enter, a doctor and 'nurse will get a complete medical and psychological history from you. If your withdrawal symptoms are severe, you may be given a mild tranquilizer for a day or so.

Teens, however, usually do not require this medicine.

Two or three times a day there'll be vigorous exercise in the gym with strong emphasis on games that demand teamwork from all participants.

At daily classes, you'll be given a wealth of information about alcohol and many other drugs. You will come to know thoroughly the enemy you are dealing with.

Ronnie DeSillers dies awaiting fourth transplant

By NC News Service "Ronnie is going to be in heaven," said Maria DeSillers, mother of a 7-year-old Florida Catholic schoolboy who died April 29 at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh while awaiting a fourth liver transplant.

Mrs. DeSillers told reporters, "God is going to be with him."

In Fort Lauderdale, classmates made cards for themselves and Mrs. DeSillers, to remember happy moments they shared with Ronnie.

The boy received donations from around the country after about $5,000 raised by St. Anthony students was stolen. Among contributors was President Reagan.

Mary Kay Gallagher, who works in the school office, said April 30 that students commemorated their classmate with a decade of the rosary at the morning flag-raising ceremony and stopped for a moment of silent prayer at noon.

"It was a solemn day here at school," she said.

She said principal Elaine Patterson spoke with each class and each teacher also discussed Ronnie's death.

2 bishops arrested at nuclear test site MERCURY, Nev. (NC) - In an unprecedented action, two U.S. Catholic bishops were arrested May 5 in an act of civil disobedience protesting U.S. nuclear weapons testing.

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit and retired Bishop Charles Buswell of Pueblo, Colo., concelebrated Mass for some 250 anti-nuclear demonstrators just outside the Nevada nuclear test site near Mercury, then led 98 of the demonstrators across the police line to be arrested.

head of the line was Benedictine Sister Mary Lou Kownacki, executive director of Pax Christi USA. She was also arrested.

At Mass Sister Kownacki read a message from retired Bishop Maurice Dingman of Des Moines, Iowa, expressing his sorrow that he could not physically cross the line and be arrested with them. Bishop Dingman, confined to a wheelchair because of a stroke last year, originally planned to join the demonstration but was told not to travel because of his health.

the second time in history that any U.S. Catholic bishop was arrested for an act of civil disobedience and the first in protest against U.S. nuclear policy. In 1984 Auxiliary Bishop Emerson Moore of New York was arrested in New York in a protest against South African apartheid.

Noting the lack of previous episcopal arrests, Bishop Buswell said in an interview before his action, "Maybe we're just late doing it."

12 other U.S. bishops and the major superiors of 92 Catholic religious congregations endorsed the May 3-5 peace action culminating in the demonstration and arrests. The action was cosponsored by the Catholic peace organization Pax Christi USA and by Nevada Desert Witness, a Franciscan-sponsored peace organization which has conducted protests at the test site since 1982.

Prosecution of the arrested protesters was considered unlikely.

The week before, the prosecutor for Nye County, where the test site is located, announced that the county did not have the manpower to prosecute. A more massive demonstration at the test site was expected on May 10, with up to 2,000 protesters expected.

"Nuclear weapons are not consistent with the message of Jesus," Bishop Gumbleton said in an interview before his arrest. He said his position as a bishop did not influence him in his decision - he was there simply "acting as a disciple of Christ."

The Nevada testing ground has been the site of hundreds of nuclear weapons tests since the early 1950s.

Bishop Dingman's message, which Sister Kownacki read after the Gospel, said the demonstration was an effort "to help save the human race from total annihilation by a nuclear holocaust."

"My physical limitations do not permit me to be with you in body today," the Iowa bishop said. "In my powerlessness to move I.experience the powerlessness of all who feel unable to act against the spiraling nuclear arms race. So I ask you, in the name of Christ the peacemaker, to carry me across the line with you, in spirit, as a Gospel witness to a fragile and broken world that desperately seeks peace."

DR JOHN Polk (left), Jeannine Labreche, certified operating room technician, and Dr. Bassem Nasser compare the size of the pacemaker, on right side of paper, to that of a silver dollar.

Smallest pacemaker implant successful at St. Anne's Physicians at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, have implanted a female patient, whose name was withheld at her request, with the smallest pacemaker available in the world. It was the first such implant in Southeastern Massachusetts. The pacemaker, slightly larger than a silver dollar, weighs only 23 grams, compared to 42 grams for a traditional pacemaker.

Dr. John Malloy, an internist specializing in kidney disease, is the recipient's primary physician.

Her surgeons were Dr. John Polk and Dr. Bassem Nasser.

The physicians said the tiny pacemaker was chosen because in the course of prolonged illness the patient had lost much weight. A larger pacemaker would have irritated the skin and adhered less successfully to reduced muscle mass on the chest.

As follow-up service for heart patients, St. Anne's Hospital sponsors a pacemaker support group and a pacemaker clinic.

Meeting every three months, the support group is open to pacemaker patients, their families and friends. Meetings include a question session with answers by a cardiologist, pacemaker nurse specialist and a cardiac rehabilitation nurse. The next meeting, to be held May 20, will focus on diet.

The pacemaker clinic, to which referral is by the patient's physician, is open every Thursday afternoon. It offers programmer analysis of pacemakers.

Further information on the support group and clinic is available from the hospital, at 674-5741, ext. 2390.
