SEOUL, South Korea (NC) During the first week in May. Pope John Paul II carried his plea for peace and human rights more than 10,000 miles, from tiny Vatican City across the top of the globe and down into one of the world's high-tension areas, the Korean peninsula. Along the way, he also dis cussed world issues with Presi dent Reagan during a May 2 stop in Fairbanks, Alaska. The pope combined his role as the world's moral leader with that of pastor of South Korea's 1.4 . million Catholics, helping them celebrate the 200th anni versary of Korean Catholicism and making saints of 103 Kor ean martyrs, the first canoniza tion ceremony held outside of Rome'in modern church history. He also pleaded for thereuni fication of Korea. The country was partitioned after World War II by the United States and the Soviet Union and two indepen dent countries were subsequent ly 'created: Communist-ruled North Korea and U.S.-aligned South Korea. In North Korea religion was repressed following. expulsion of priests and nuns, and the pope has no idea as to what has be come of the faith of the 200,000 Catholics there when the border was sea,led. Worse still is the human ang uish of separation. Ten million South Koreans have family mem bers in North Korea and have had no contact with them for a generation. , So it was of'reunification that the pope spoke when first set ting foot in South Korea. At Seoul's airport, he announced May 3 that he had come as "an apostle of peace." ' South Korea also has domestic problems. A military government headed by President Chun Doo hwan is so fearful of mHitary or political invasion by the North that human freedoms frequently are restricted in the' name of na tional security. The church in South Korea has often confronted the government over human rights, and the pope quickly made clear where he stood, declaring his hope that the economic growth of South Korea would "bring about first of all a more human society of true justice and peace." At a May 4 Mass in Kwangju, a city where in 1980 government troops brutally killed hundreds of citizens protesting marital law, the pope pleaded for a spiritua'l rebirth which would bring for giveness.

In a talk to workers in Pusan May 5, the pope called for just wages, a particularly pointed plea in a nation where salaries of industrial workers are among the world's lowest. To diplomats accredited to

South Korea, the pontiff asked "that a new way of thinking may be found" to free humanity from a paralyzing aack of trust and atmosphere of suspicion. 'The joyous high point of the Turn to Page Six

A:Mother's Day fantasy

By Hilda Young The perfect mother is 5 feet 2 inches tal'l, wears a size 7 dress, weighs 112 pounds, can screw in burned-out light bulbs , without,a chair :in 8 feet ceilings, hold a 30-pound 2-year-old on her hip while ,loading a 50-pound sack of potatoes onto a ,shopping cart with her free arm and have a lap big enough to hold 2,5' children. " ' 'The· 'perfect mother always prepares balanced meals, feeds· her children all the fast foods they want, never serves leftovers and never forgets dessert. She has a food budget she finances by recycling aluminum and glass, only buys in bulk and during sales and saves enough to redecorate the kitchen. The perfect mother volunteers 20 hours a week at the schooi, .10 hours a week at the parish, holds down a part time job as a librarian and import buyer, ;takes night olasses ,in American history and is home whenever you call because you forgot your lunch or need a ride. .The perfect mother never loses her temper, understands when her 14-year-old wants ':to marry someone 25 and move to Honduras, discipltines without ever saying, "Wait until I tell your father," or "God will get you for ;that" and is never afraid -to show her emotions. The perfect mother is 29 and has 30 years of child-raising experience, never spolIs her child and lets her chHdren do everything that everybody else's mom lets their friends do. The perfect mother knows how to spell "necessary," "ac commodate," "sep~ate" and every other word in the English 'language, never says "Look jot up yourself, turkey" and works well with the teacher in helping build strong study habits. The perfect mother respects a child's privacy, spends severa-l hours of quality time with each child daily and de velops her own personality separate from the f1amily to pre vent emptiness syndrome. The perfeot mother always takes the popped yolk, the bent fork, the chipped 'dish, the seat behind the pHlar, the wobbly chair, the last shower and the eat that has to be parked on a hill to start. The perfect mother' never com plains. The perfect mother doesn't live at our house.

Thank You, Mothers This weekend we celebrate Mother's Day. In many ways, the day is a merchant's dream. We are urged to take mother out to dinner, to send her flowers and to' pay her special attention either in person or by phone. All this is indeed commendable. Yet it is possible amid this type of tokenism to forget some of the realities faced by moms in today's wor-ld. First and foremost, there is the question, of mother-, hood itself. Our socjal order enco~rages women not to have, children. As a means of achieving zero population growth.. many women are pressured to undergo abortion and/or sterilization. The prevailing attitude is that a woman has total \ rights over her body. In 'no way sh(;mld morality, ethics, church and gospel carry any weight. They are to be viewed to personal fulfillment. 'merely as deterrents , '

Such attitudes not' only discourage motherhood, I?ut degrade the essential nature of woman. ' . Today's concepts of child rearing. have also placed horrendous blocks on the road to .motherhood. Divorce, separation and the general decay of family life have placed tragic burdens on many women owho seek the fulfillment of motherhood. The anguish and often helplessness of many single parents'bear stark testimony to the ,selfishness of our society. Our toleration of a world that enCOlIrages d~g use, accepts,immo[a)ity. ,and, condones violenc~ has brought to, 'many mothers the agony. inflicted ~t!ly: ~)T' ~a wayWard: child.

But CGA's· unique aspect is its spiritual program. Not only are local chapter members urged to live their Catholicism daily but the national organization ",1 sponsors events such as Our Lady of Assumption Prayer for Peace, which each August 15 sees CGA members and friends join in a "prayer to the Immacu late Queen" and light millions 'S of candles throughout the coun try for the intention of world , peace. Each month Mass is offered for living and deceased CGA members at the Carmelite cloister on the '!'4ount of Olives in Jerusalem and Masses are also offered for members in Francis can monasteries throughout the world.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., May II, 1984 The purpose of local CGA chapters is to help senior Cath olics celebrate the dignity of age and provide them with op portunities of benefiting their parishes and communities through "ministry of purpose" programs covering a wide range of nutrition and health projects. Chapters also offer parishes va ried services in both the practical and spirited realms. Such activi ties set CGA apart from most· other senior citizen groups. In recognition of the fact that May is National Senior Citizens Month, Catholic Golden Age is offering over-50 men and women the opportunity to take advan tage of free six-month "get ac

WASHINGTON (NC) - The Catholic Golden Age Foundation has established a $1 million en dowment at the Catholic Univer sity of America's center for the Study of Pre-retirement and Aging. The agreement was signed by Margaret Mealey, president of Catholic Golden Age; Thomas D. Hinton, Catholic Age vice presi

dent; Jesuit Father WilHam J. Byron, president of Catholic University and other university

officiaJs. The endowment will be used for research, education and train ing programs in gerontology. Officials of Catholic Golden Age, a national organization of about 500,000 Catholics over age 50, point out that "the gray ing of America" is a demographic reality, with people living ~onger, and more Americans over age 50 than ever before. These facts are additionally highlighted through President Reagan's designation of Mayas National Senior Citizens Month.

Of the millions of Americans

50 years of ag~and older, all

but a tiny percentage are self sufficient, active and living in dependently, emphasizes the Golden Age Foundation. They are not reaciy to be forgotten. .Rather, they want to be recog nized and to contribute to society. Responding to such desires, Catholic Golden Age was found ed in 1975.

broug,ht the dimensions of "car ing and sharing" and Catholic spirituality to organizations for the aging. In nine years. CGA has mush-' roomed from a few local chap ters to membership in all 50 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. Its primary concern is the well- . being of senior citizens. It recog

nizes the difficulties of older persons, especially problems as sociated with social security,

housing, Medicare and other health matters. On the national level, CGA representatives in Washington report regularly on matters af fecting Social Security. CGA is affiliated with the National CounciI on Aging and has joined with the federa,l government and Catholic dioceses in initiating in novative senior citizen housing programs. Representatives attend meetings of the Gerontological .Society of America, the. National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the White House Conference on Aging.,

on the way home. Are you legal ly responsible (liable) for any injuries to the Scouts because ' you were driving 'the car? The general rule is that you're liable for any injuries' another person sustains which are di rectly caused by your oIack of due care'. Failure to exercise due care, for example, driving a car "recklessly, which results in in , jury to another is called negli gence. To ,be negligent, you must: 1) ow:e someone a. duty to, act carefully,and 2) breich t~at duty, and ,3) your breach must cause some damage or injurY. The duty, you .generaHy owe others is to act as a reasonable, prudent person would under the circumstances. You do not .owe this duty to everyone, only to those you should anticipate might be haIJited by your acts, or to those with whom you have a special relationship. , Volunteering to chaperone a' school outing or accompany a group somewhere puts you in a. special relationship with those under your supervision, and you owe a duty, of care to them. . Just because you've assumed a duty toward others doesn't mean you're going to be liable for any harm that Occurs. Acci-

liability of volunteers

dents and injuries are bound to' occur, especially with children, but yo~'re not' responsible un less you breach the duty you owe them. Genei-ally, you breach such a duty byt failing to act in an or dinary prudent and ca'reful way. But if ypu are a volunteer, you're not held to. the same'standard as someone being. paid to do a similar thing~ , . Volunteers are liable, only for excepti6naUy or ,"grossly" negli-' g~nt acts; that is, the failure to . use rbinimuni of care. Some examples of gross negligence are deliberate inattention or being continuqusly negligent over some p~riod 9f time. . This:iower standard of care applies bnly as. long as you are I truly a v,olunteer; as long as you are actidg without compensation for the benefit of others. If you lI'eceive i some benefit .because you've volunteered, such as a business: benefit, then you will be held to an ordinary standard of care.! Regardless of how careless or negligeni you are, you will not be held ~ oIegally responsible for l anything unless your ne~ligence causes some real damage or in• JUry to;I another person. You,

could take the scouts' to the zoo, let them run wild and be ~ompletely inattentive. Uno one is hurt you will of course be liable for nothing. Similarly, if someone is hurt, but not because of your inattention, you are not liable. For instance, if ,while your at tention wanders, Johnny climbs into the monkey pit, you, may ,be liable. If instead, Johnny gets a fever, you wouldn't be liable, because it is unlikely the fever was caused tiy' your' inattention. Are you off the hook with re spect to any such injuries if Johnny's parents sign a per~ mission slip that releases every one associated with tne trip from liability? Probably not. First, courts generally will not uphold such agreements unless the terms were negotiated by both sides and tm; sides were in equal positions. Usually the school or organization prints such slips and there are no negO- tiations. . Second, courts do not allow people to contract away their liability for extreme conduct such as gross negligence.

Although permission slips will not shield you froJ!l responsi-.

bility for grossly negligent acts, the organization you volunteered to help might bear the ultimate responsibility. An organization may be liable for the conduct, of people who act on its behalf. A volunteer, may be able to shift his or her liability for acts done as,a volunteer if the organization had the right to control the de tails of the volunteer's actions. So 1£ you are one of several volunteers under the direction of a teacher or other leader, and your 'negligence' occurs while you are acting as a volunteer, the group you agreed to help may be resp~nsible fQr the damage you cause. But if you act inde pendently, or organization can not control the details of your activity, then it may not be li~ 'ble for your negligence. When your child's teacher caUs and asks "would you mind . . . ? don't be scared by visions of endless lawsuits. Just remem ber· that kids being kids, some one may get into trouble, or try to, and use your good judgment and common sense to try to pre vent it. The law will ask no more than that of you.

Cllllrchm~n must listen to 'V9ice of pain' i

ST. PAUi.;Minn. (NC) ":'"""'Arch bishop John R. Roach of St. Paul - Minneapolis 'said, that men in ,positions of authority in ,the 'church must, learn to listen to women's "voice .of pain." Speaking at a recent confer ence ori "Church: Women and Men Relating," the archbishop· said he dreams of the day when Catholics no' longer think of themselves as male and female, but as members of the body of Christ. Archbishop Roach said the conference at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul was "signi-. ficant," but said he, was disap pointed that conference organ izers refused to sched1,1le a Mass . as part of the event "because it is male-centered." Instead, , a· paraliturgical ser vice was held. The conference, sponsored by. a number of archdiocesan organ izations, marked the fifth anni versary of the Minnesota bish ops' pastoral letter on womep in the church. In his talk to the 550 confer ence participants; Archbishop Roach reviewed the pastoral. He said the bishops "admitted at the beginning" that there was no way a group of men could fully describe the pain the church has caused women. Reading the pastoral now, he said he realizes "the inadequacy of what we said." He questioned whether men in positions of au authority were listening suffi ciently to "the voice of pain." "Are we allowing ·that voice to really i~fluence the way we

. go' about ;the 'business of <the' church?"; he asked. His' dteam, he said, is of a day wheh women's isolation will no longer be Ii question, when sterotypipg is nonexistent and when "we can disagree in respect and lovel for' one another." Wome~ have been defined as having the basest of human po tential, while they also have been glorified and placed on' a pedestal,. said Dominican Sister Maria Riley oUhe Center of Con cern in Washington. Sister Riley quoted what nu merous saints and .church scholI ars had to say about women. For example, I St. Jerome said, "Wo men are ~he gates of heil."

The ambiguity inherent in fining women's issues, making speaking of women in those statements and' opening more ways has diminished women's roles to women are not enough, potential and allowed men to said Father Robert Kinast, a pro fessor at the Catholic University claim superiority; she said. "We are all ,the losers for it of America in Washington.

"She was chiefly responsible for teachit'tg Jesus so that he grew in age and wisdom and grace. He learned goodness from her and she reflected God's good ness." Sister Healy said. Speaking of Mary as "com forter of the afflictedj" Charity Sister Marie Lorentzen said this is the most basic description of God and characteristic of every true prophet. We as disciples are asked to enter into this. Mary is the prototype of discipleship and so symbolizes what each of us is called to be - a comforter of those who suffer injustice and oppression...

38 to tour Dominican sites Anchor photographer Sister Gertrude Gaudette and Sister Noella Letourneau, a director of religious education in the Provi dence diocese, both members of the Fall River-based Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena, are among participants in a May 14 to June 4 pi·lgrimage to points of special interest in Spain, France and Italy. 38 Dominican men and women will make the pilgrimage, which will include stops at the birth place of St. Dominic in Caler uega, . Spain, and in France at the tomb of St. Thomas Aquinas

in Toulouse, the Dominican convents of Carcassonne and Prou HIe, the Matisse-decorated Dom

inican chapel in Vence and Avig non sites associated with St.

Catherine of Siena.

In Rome the pilgrims will cele-

brate May 24, the feast of St., Dominic, at the Church of Santa Sabina, will visit the Angelicum, the 400-year-old Dominican Pontifical University, and on May 27 will attend Pope John Paul II's Sunday Regina Coeli blessing in St. Peter's Square. In Florence and ·Fiesole they will view works of Dominican artist Fra Angelico, in Bologna the tomb of St. Dominic and in Siena the birthplace of St. Cath erine. For the most part the pilgrims will stay at Dominican houses, thus gaining insight into the

work of other communities.

More Marian study needed CHICAGO (NC) -,More theo logical probing and dialogue are needed to have an understanding of Mary for contemporary times, said Charity Sister Carol Frances Jegen. She spoke at a Mary Festival at Mundelein College at which speakers presented Mary in her various roles. . "In the years following Vati can II, devotion to Mary has taken a decidedly different em . pha&is from ,tbat :,C?f . the..years preceding the council," said Sis ter Jegen. The role of Mary in the church was something of a controversy during the Second Vatican Coun cil, said Charity Sister Anne Carr. The council faced a choice be· tween "emphasis on Mary's unique privileges, her differences from us, her transcendence of emphasis on her humanness, her likeness to us, her closeness to the church on pilgrimage," she said. "The choice to emphasize her as a model of the church, to em phasize her human character as both a historical person of faith and symbol of the church's hu man journey was and is im mensely. significant for the church's image of itself." Charity Sister Mary Lauranne Lifka spoke of Mary as a peace maker. Mary belonged to a culture which valued hospitality and at the wedding feast of Cana, she knew the guests would be in sulted if there wasn't any wine, Sister Lifka said. Mary reacted and in doing so preserved the inner peace of those present as well as peace with. the com munity. "Like most effective peace makers, she did not impose her own personal solutions," Sister Lifka said. "She persuaded Jesus to begin his ministry. . . On a natural and supernatural lev,el, she acts as an agent of peace." Charity Sister Margaret Healy spoke of Mary as "a reflection of the femininity of God."

One important image of Mary which has reemerged is her con nection with the poor and op pressed, said Charity Sister Mary Donahey. The desire to lessen the inequality between the poor and the rich seems to "throb in Mary's heart," Sister Donahey said. At a closing Mass, Cardinal Josesph Bernardin of Chicago said Mary had truly heard the word of God, allowed it to be come incarnate in her and wit· nessed its glory and power in her life.
