:Trust marks interfaith parley }

BALTIMORE (CNS) - At a May 7 Baltimore press conference, Rabbi A. James Rudin summed up a just-completed international dialogue of Catholics and Jews.

"After 1,900 years," he said, "Catholics and Jews have an enormous task of sorting out the past. . . . What is interesting in Baltimore is the shift also to the present and the future in our work together."

Others among the 60 participants at the May 4-7 meeting clearly agreed t,hat the official dialogue of the 21-year-old Interna" NEW -BEDFORD AREA Catholic Charities Appeal tional Catholic-Jewish Liaison representatives with Diocesan Administrator Msgr.

time, or almost equal time" with the mutual relationship questions.

The keynote speech by Chicago CardinalJoseph L. Bernardin, delivered at the first committee session ever open to the public, was "one of the pivotal moments" in that development, Rabbi Rudin said.

Cardinal Bernardin noted that it will remain important to review past and current problems in Catholic-Jewish relations and to address new tensions as they arise; but he also argued for a broader, more outgoing agenda. Catholic-Jewish reflection and action are urgently needed, he said, on critical social issues such as the environment, war and peace, child exploitation and human rights violations.

Cardinal Bernardin also suggested that in the interests of trust and candor the Vatican open its World War II archives to serious scholars.

The joint final communique of the meeting broke the parley into three sections: - Discussion of continuing work on a Catholic statement on the Holocaust and of the problem of revivals of anti-Semitism, especially in Eastern Europe, andjoint action to combat it.

- Continuing discussion of Catholic treatment of Jews and Judaism and Jewish treatment of Catholics and Catholicism in their respective educational institutions and instructional materials.

- A look at the need for Catholic-Jewish cooperation on issues of socialjustice and peace, with initial exploration of several topics that might later be addressed in greater depth.

Msgr. George G. Higgins, a pioneer in U.S. Catholic social action, spoke on the potential for joint social action by Catholics and Jews; and Gerhart M. Riegner of the World Jewish Congress in Geneva gave a similar presentation on cooperation in human rights.

Rabbi Rudin discussed problems of equitable access to health care from Jewish and Catholic religious perspectives, and ¥sgr. Diarmuid Martin of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace spoke on a religious approach to environmental concerns.

The final communique said that in addition to cooperating on the urgent issues of racism and antiSemitism, there was a need "to uphold the rights of all minorities and to fight sexual and economic exploitation of women and chil-.dren."

It signaled two-immediate decisions to enhance such cooperation: to hold at least semiannual rather than annual steering committee meetings and to expand the committee's responsibilities; and to work more closely with other international and regional organizations.

75 years at Fatima

ROME (CNS) - A pillar of 20th century Catholic piety is Jewish and has a Muslim home.

She is Our Lady of Fatima.

Last Wednesday, May 13, was the 75th anniversary of Mary's six apparitions at Fatima, the rural site in central Portugal named by Arabs, who controlled the region -for centuries. Fatima was a daughter of Mohammed, the founder of Islam.

Mary, the young Jewish girl . who accepted God's will and gave birth to Jesus, first appeared to three Portuguese shepherd children on May 1-3, 1917. She continued appearing for five successive months, almost always on the ·13th.

Each month drew bigger crowds and growing controversy. Anticlerical movements were strong in Portugal at the time.

In 1930, local Catholic officials

concluded a lengthy study of the events and determined that the apparitions are worthy of belief.

The decision gave official approval to what has become one of Catholicism's most popular Marian pilgrimage sites.

Although Mary's basic message at Fatima was simple - the need for prayer and personal repentance - controversies have continued over interpretations of her message to the three children. The principal one has been whether she issued a specific call to spiritual and political action against the yet-to-be-born Soviet communist state.

Dwarfing the controversies, how- _ ever, is the widespread devotion of Catholics to Our Lady of Fatima as a symbol of faith and the need for prayer and personal conversion in obtaining world peace.

Sister Ann Moore to take sabbatical After 12 years as associate superintendent of schools for the Fall River diocese, Sister Ann Moore, CND, will leave the Department of Education. Her religious community, the Congregation of Notre Dame, has granted her a one-year sabbatical to attend courses at the Pastoral Theological Institute, Berkeley, Calif.

At the Department of Education, Sister Moore has been primarily responsible for program development in diocesan schools, encouraging high schools, for instance, to strengthen curriculums and provide professional enrichment opportunities for faculty members and facilitating ongoing evaluation of school administrators.

She has been active in the Chief Administrators of Catholic Education section of the National Catholic Educational Association . and has served two terms as NCEA representative of New England secondary schools.

A facilitator for the Myers-Briggs testing program, she has administered the test to many diocesan educators and, based on test results, has lectured widely on management and leadership styles.

Sister Moore has served'on several educational committees in the Fall River community, most notably on those concerned with substance abuse, teen pregnancies, AIDS education, teen peer counseling programs and service activities. She has regularly attended monthly meetings of the Old Colony School Superintendents' Round Table.

She will be honored at a reception from 2 t04 p.m. Sunday, May 17, at Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River. A gift presentation is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. and the event is open to all friends and colleagues.

Fr. McBrien lecture draws picketers INDIANAPOLIS (CNS) When religious educators of the nine-parish North Indianapolis Deanery first invited Father Richard P. McBrien to give a talk last month, they expected about 100 to 150 people to come.

But protests circulated in the media by a small group of conservative Catholics drew so much attention to the talk that nearly 1,000 people crowded into St. Matthew's parish gymnasium to hear him.

The University of Notre Dame theologian spoke about the future of the church, emphasizing themes of justice, participation, service, witness and ecumenism.

"1 know I will disappoint those looking for heresy," he said in his opening remarks. "1 shall try not to disappoint those looking for substance and for hope."

The protesters, who had branded Father McBrien as a dissenter and heretic in a full-page'newspaper ad the week before his talk, also sponsored what they described as a "blitz" of 30-second radio spots attacking him on three local radio stations.

The group called itself Defenders of the Faith. In an advance press release, it predicted that more than 300 marchers· would picket the church before the theologian's talk.

About 60 demontrators showed but inside the gymnasium, 800

Cardinals rap honors given pro-choice pols

By Catholic News Service 1992 commencement programs at U.S. Catholic insfitutions of higher learning are providing a platform for cardinals to protest honors bestowed on abortion rights advocates.

Cardinals John J. O'Connor of New York and Bernard Law of Boston have protested Notre Dame University's awarding of its prestigious Laetare Medal to abortion rights supporter and U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY).

Cardinal Cahal B. Daly, Primate of All Ireland, who was to have received an honorary degree at the May 17 commencement, has sent word he will not attend; but it is not known if his withdrawal is related to the Moynihan award.

At tiny Rosemont College in Rosemont, Pa., the May 9 commencement speaker was Lynn Yeakel, a Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate and a strong abortion advocate.· She spoke despite the vigorous protest of Philadelphia Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua.

Sen. Moynihan In a letter to alumni who had written Notre Dame President Father Edward A. Malloy, CSC, objecting to the choice of Moynihan, Holy Cross Father Richard V. Warner, counselor to the president and direct·or of campus ministry, said the selection committee "examines a full range of matters, including positions on abortion and other life-related issues."

Brian Connolly, Moynihan's press secretary, said May 8 that the senator was making no statement about the protest except that he "will be honored to receive the Laetare Medal." He said Moynihan would speak briefly at the ceremonies, where President Bush was to give the principal address. .The New York Times said some faculty members and university officials at Notre Dame had heard rumors that objections to the Moynihan honor might lead to a boycott of the university by the U.S. bishops, who are scheduled to meet at Notre Dame June 18-21.

But the newspaper said Cardinal O'Connor and other bishops denied they had heard anything about such a plan.

SISTER POWERS

Fall River native marks. jubilee Fall River native Sister Mary Powers is among eight Maryknoll Sisters who will celebrate golden jubilees of religious life in ceremonies this Sunday at the Maryknoll motherhouse in Maryknoll, NY. An alumna of BMC Durfee High School in Fall River, she worked for a periodicals publishers service for five years before entering the Maryknoll community in 1942 at age 25. She professed her first vows in 1945 and in 1948 earned a bachelor's degree in education at Maryknoll Teachers' College, therefter making final vows and teaching a year in Bronx, NY. The following year she was assigned to Hawaii where she taught on the primary and secondary level and was principal at two schools.

Returning to Maryknoll, NY, in 1976, Sister Powers worked in community offices, then returned to Hawaii and an administrative post at Maryknoll High School, Punahou.

She is now active in a program serving the frail elderly in their homes.

She was honored May I at St. Teresa's Cathedral, Honolulu, at a Mass and reception for diocesan jubilarians. Still ahead is a July 23 regional celebration of Maryknoll sisters on the island of Oahu.

chairs were filled and about 150 additional people stood along the walls. At least some of those inside had picketed before the talk.

Father McBrien told Catholic News Service that he rarely encounters pickets or demonstrations against him. "I would say it happens one in 50, maybe one in 100 times," he said.

He called ·his speech in Indianapolis "a very mainline, middle-ofthe-road talk.... You won't find a line of heresy in it."

In it he criticized church discipline limiting priesthood to celibate males in the context of praising the increased participation and ministerial involvement of lay people in the church since the Second Vatican Council.

"But unless·the church changes its current discipline on obligatory celibacy and the ordination ofwomen and unless a different kind of bishop is appointed, less ideologically rigid and more pastorally open and unafraid, it will be a church with too few ordained priests who are at the same time healthy human beings," he said.

She made no mention of abortion.

Rosemont is a 61 I-student liberal arts women's college founded in 1921 by the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus.

Earlier, in a letter to college president Ofelia Garcia, Cardinal Bevilacqua criticized Ms. Yeakel as "an outspoken advocate of abortion" and said "I cannot consider her an appropriate speaker for the commencement exercises at Rosemont College."

At a news conference after the ceremony, Ms. Garcia defended selection of Ms. Yeakel as a speaker. ':There is a difference of opinion as to what is appropriate for us," she said. "I think a distinguished woman is most appropriate for a women's college."

The speaker was chosen, Ms. Garcia said, because of what she had in common with Rosemont, not because of differences. "The

themoorin~ Listening to the Times Tens of thousands of middle-class' Americans are at risk of losing their pride and dignity. Out of work and in many cases with their 'jobs totally eliminated, their previously secure worlds have been torn apart.

Many are beset by psychological depression, which of course affects their families as well. Comfortable nest eggs have been used for routine living expenses and with them have vanished hopes and dreams for the future.

Losing everything is a horrendous experience and one' heretofore almost unimaginable to white-collar workers with graduate degrees who have never worried about job security.

Those accustomed to the fast lane can scarcely believe they have come to a screeching halt. The resultant psychological pall makes many resemble the living dead.

Even as politicians inflate false hopes in this election year, too many Americans who were the working backbone of this nation are waiting in unemployment lines seeking the humblest of jobs. The longer they are unsu~cessful; the greater the speed of their downward spiral as their mortgage, auto loan and credit card obligations mount.

Those who'once gave generously to charity now seek assistance themselves ~s already over-extended welfare rosters lengthen and budget cuts deepen at all levels of local, state and federal programs.

In such a situation, an individual easily loses self-respect, a loss fostered by the current welfare system, which reduces clients to subserv'i~nt statistics, faceless numbers waiting for Big Brother to give them ex~ctly what he wants to.

When personal esteem is lost in this manner, fear, mistrust and tension dominate a person's life. In'deed, the psychological state of many on welfare is so shattered that anger, frustration and rage all too often explode in violent action. Encountering for themselves a system they had heard about but never expe, rienced, people are literally devastated.

It is important, as we attempt to work out of this prolonged ,recession, for millions a real,depressio.n, that we not pin out hopes on Wall Street. It should be evident to all that corporate America has little heart or soul. Capitalism thinks in terms of profit, not people.

But this nation must become more people conscious, more sensitive to the ~ffects of adversity on individuals. It is wrong and also very poor psychology to ignore this reality as we try to get America back to work. It is imperative that the cries of the poor and unemployed be heeded. We cannot mistake a congressional hearing for real action!

It is easy to think of people as nothing more than political pawns, But the events that have swept America should tell 'us that when feelings are suppressed too long they can explode' in fire and death.

A DAUGHTER COMFORTS HER MOTHER AS THEY FLEE FROM THEIR LOS ANGELES STORE AS IT IS BEING LOOTED

"God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more, nor mourning, nor crying,nor sorrow." Apoc. 21:4

Media blamed for campaign muckraking WASHINGTON (CNS) - Rumors about adultery, drug use and character hav,e plagued the presidential campaign, and some Catholic observers say it's the media's fault.

Jesuit Father Robert Drinan,' who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1971 to 1981, for example, said the press needs to define a "zone of privacy" into which it won't tread.

Writer and lecturer Abigail McCarthy said the press is "corrupt" and "irresponsible" when it covers drugs, adultery and character while "ignoring the real issues," such as poverty, the economy, racism, the growing division between rich and poor and the many women heading single-parent families and living in poverty.

Timothy Russert, NBC-TV Washington bureau chief and moderator ofthe network's Sunday morning "Meet the Press,~' said tabloid TV shows and newspapers are taking to excess coverage on character issues.

Sharon Murphy, dean of Jesuitrun Marquette University's College of Communication, Journalism and Performing Arts, said the press is avoiding "more important and more difficult issues."

"People are letting slide the whole issue of arms sales via the Saudis to Iraq," she said, for example.

"That's major; gossip is not." But "it's easier to sling mud than go into the archives and ask questions that tell us what's going on."

Father Drinan questioned reporters' right to pursue whether a candidate has had extramarital affairs.

If they're going to make it an issue, "do it across the board -let every politician take the truth test," said the priest, who is a Georgetown University law professor and adviser to the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics.

Thereign of God is here Acts 14:21-27 Revelation 21:1-5 John 13:31-33,34-35 Tbday's second reading is often quoted...especially in times of stress. When we are completely fed up with our world, its people and everything demanded of us, we are comforted to hear, "I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away.. .I also saw a new Jerusalem, the holy city...God's dwelling with the human race... He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away."

We sigh as the words sink into our minds; if only we could bring about the arrival of those new heavens and that new earth. But down deep we kpow such visions are for the distant future. We will never experience such relief in our lifetime. Only our physical death could usher in such an ideal state.

Meanwhile we will have to go on living the ordinary lives we have become accustomed to.

Yet why didn't the early Christian community experience such a sterile existence? Though they also waited and longed for a new world, they still seemed able to find meaning, excitement and support in this one.

Todafs Acts reading descripes Barnabas and Paul's return from their first missionary journey. It is a sacred scene. Coming back to Antioch, bursting with success, they reflect on all God had done through them.

Even the names of the places they evangelized take on a mystical tone: Lystra, Derbe, Iconium, Pisidia, Pamphylia and Perga. God worked in those towns. These two great apostles spread the Good News there. Why would anyone long for new heavens and a new world when they could see the Lord operating all around them, opening doors in every direction?

Only when we listen carefully to the pericope do we hear the actual message the two apostles faithfully gave. "We must undergo many trials," they taught, "if we are to enter into the reign of God." Luke, along with the other evangelists, uses "reign of God" in the

By FATHER ROGER KARBAN . sense of the Lord powerfully working in our midst here and now. So when he speaks of the trials necessary to bring this reign into our lives, he presupposes that even those "mystical towns" could not have been evangelized without pain. If we idealize them and their conversion, we are not honestly looking at the frustration which must have been part of this process. Are we modern Christians reluctant to deal with something which Paul and Barnabas thought essential: the pain of being a follower of Jesus?

Those who sit around all day, waiting for the pain and frustration to leave, longing for the new heavens and world, are imitating neither Jesus nor his first followers. We only accomplish the Lord's will in the midst of pain and frustration.

Remember the context of today's powerful Gospel words: "I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Such as my love has beenfor you, so must your love be for each other. This is how all will know you for my disciples: your love for one another." John tells us that Jesus gave this commandment just after "Judas had left the cenacle." .

These words were not spoken at the height of the Lord's success, in some peaceful setting; but in the middle of one of his most frustrating experiences. He speaks about love for one another being the most essential part of his, and our, ministry immediately after one of his closest friends walks out the door to betray him to death!

In the same way, Paul and Barnabas "related all that God

Two new saints to be canonized VATICAN CITY (CNS) - Pope John Paul II has cleared the way ,for canonization of a 17th-century French Jesuit and a 19th-century missionary bishop in Colombia.

The pope presided· over a vote on the causes April 28. In a brief talk, he said the two future saints represented "models of living faith and effective Christian action" for the whole church.

On May 31 the pope will canonize Blessed Claude La Colombiere, a French Jesuit who helped spread devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Born in 1641, he became spiritual director to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who built a chapel in central France to honor the Sacred Heart. The priest had approved her visions, in contrast with opposition from many in the religious community. He died in 1682.

The other future saint, Blessed Ezechiele Moreno y Diaz, will be canonized at a later date. A Spanish member of the Order of the Augustin Recollects, he was a missionary in the Philippines and in Colombia, where he became a bishop.

had helped them accomplish, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles" only after they first spoke of their "many trials."

Revelation's author did not teach that Christians would experience no problems if they follow Jesus correctiy. He was simply encouraging those who were going through much pain and frustration because of their commitment to the Lord "to hang in there."

God can only "wipe tears" from the faces of those who are actually crying.

Brain-dead baby's kin ask change in death definition TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CNS) - The parents of a Florida baby who died nine days after being born without a brain are continuing their court fight to allow donations of organs from such babies in the future.

When Baby Theresa was born in March, Catholic ethicists said her parents' efforts to have her declared dead so that her organs could be transplanted to other ill childre~ were wrong.

In a court brief filed by attorney Scott Mager, Laura Campo and Justin Pearson asked the state Supreme Court to change the.legal definition of brain death as it applies to anencephalic infants like their daughter, Theresa Ann Campo Pearson.

- The new definition of brain death would not open the door to other exceptions because "the anencephalic condition ... cannot be confused with any other known medical condition," according to the brief. ."U nlike other birth defects, anencephaly is always fatal and poses no danger of misdiagnosis or of prematurely abandoning hope of recovery," it said. "Because anencephalic infants are born permanently unconscious and can experience no pain or suffering, they can never be aware of what happens to them, they can have no interest in treatment, and treatment can neither benefit nor harm them."

The state Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments in the case for Sept. 2. The Florida attorney general's office will argue on behalf of the current law, de~ fending a Broward County circuit court judge's ruling that the child's organs could not be donated until all brain activity ceased.

Anencephalic babies are born with only a brain stem, which controls reflexes such as heartbeat and .breathing. About 1,000 such babies are born each year, with only half of them living more than a few minutes.

When Baby Theresa was born in March, Jesuit Father JohnJ. Paris, professor of bioethics at Boston College, called the case "a tragedy" and said the baby's parents had "wanted to bring some good out of this tragedy, but they couldn't.

The child was not brain dead."

"The family wanted the physicians to take vital organs from a live, dying baby," he added. "And the courts rightly said that would be homicide."

Vatican seeks.Bosnia-Herzegovina pea~e VATICAN CITY (CNS) - Pope John Paul II and other top Vatican officials have launched a diplomatic campaign to bring peace to Bosnia-Herzegovina, as ethnic fighting worsened.

The pope, speaking at a general audience, said his aides hoped to convince international agencies to implement an immediate ceasefire in the republic, which formally broke from Yugoslavia this spring.

He said no one could remain indifferent to the "martydom" of Bosnia-Herzegovina and urged greater help for those who have been forced to leave their homes.

In remarks to Croatian expatriates at the audience, the pope denounced the "war against your be,autiful country," and prayed for peace there.

Bosnia-Herzegovinajoined Croatia and Slovenia in breaking from the Yugoslavian federation, which has now been reduced to Serbia and Montenegro. Croatia was ravaged by war last year, while Slovenia has largely escaped dam-

age. The fighting in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina has pitted local militias against the Yugoslav federal army and ethnic Serbian forces.

On May 5, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano telegraphed U.N. Secretary General Boutros Ghali, urging the U.N. to· use. "every possible means" to halt the destruction in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

A similar theme was sounded in Helsinki by Msgr. Alain Lebeaupin, Vatican representative to the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe, who said the conference should condemn the violation of human rights and international law agreements drawn up by the security conference in recent years.

The Vatican believes it is important to "denounce before world opinion the authors ofthese serious and repeated violations of internationallaw and humanitarian law," he said.

The Anchor Friday, May 15, 1992

By FATHER JOHN J. DIETZEN Q. I realize my question is late for this year, but is there a rule about receiving communion during Holy Week?

I am old and unable to go to . Mass, so someone brings me communion at home.

I asked about receiving on Holy Thursday, which I have done the past two years. This year I was told

On rece-iving ,communion apart from "Mass it is not allowed on Holy Thursday or Good Frida)'. Why would there be differences of opinion about this? (Florida) A. I'm not sure why you are receiving conflicting advice. The policy of the church is clear and applies basically everywhere.

The church's ritual governing communion apart from Mass says that while normally communion may not be distributed outside of the liturgies of Holy Thursdayand Good Friday, people who are sick may receive communion any time on those two days.

On Holy Saturday it may be received only as viaticum, that is, if the person is dying (n. 16).

The Sacramentary (missal) indicates the same thing. Theintroduction for the Good Friday liturgy

commemorating the death of our Lord notes: holy communion may be given to the faithful only at the celebration of the Lord's passion, but may be brought at any hour of the day to the sick who cannot take part in this service.

In a note explaining the special limitations for Holy Saturday, the Sacramentary emphasizes the aspect of rest and waiting "at the Lord's tomb" on that day.

The Sacramentary continues, "Only after the solemn vigil during the night (the Easter Vigil liturgy), held in anticipation of the resurrection, does the Easter celebratipn begin."

Q. I am 76 years old. Due to circumstances in my life I was never confirmed.

Now my church is having adult

confirmation but a friend tells me I have been a confirmed Christian since I was 18 and don't need confirmation.

I feel it is a sacrament I have not received and would appreciate your thoughts. (Colorado) A. I don't understand why YO\Jr friend would make such a statement. Confirmation is a sacrament which you should receive even now if you can do so without serious inconvenience.

Confirmation is one of what we call the three sacraments of initiation into our faith. It can help you spiritually to enjoy and exercise the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit in your relationship to God and other people.

In our Catholic understanding

of this sacrament it is not essential for salvation. It is, however, a sealing and "confirming" of the commitment and graces of baptism.

In fact, what we now know as the sacrament of confirmation was apparently once part of the baptismal rite itself. ,Ask your parish priest what opportunities there will be in your parish to receive this sacrament.

A free brochure answering questions Catholics ask about receiving the holy Eucharist is available by sending a stamped self-addressed envelope to Father John Dietzen, Holy Trinity Parish, 704 N. Main St., Bloomington, III. 61701. Questions for this column should be sent to the same address.

"Voices of Silence": dedicated to Michael By ANTOINETTE BOSCO

The nuns used to tell us that "God works in mysterious ways."

Frank Bianco of Huntington, N.Y., would be living proof ofthat. He is the author of the book "Voices of Silence, Lives of the Trappists Today" (Paragon House).

Five years ago Bianco would hardly have been considered a candidate for writing a!>out a Catholic religious order.

Bianco was once a seminarian and he considered himself a good Catholic. But when his teenage son Michael died in an auto accident, Bianco became bitter. He turned away from God, unable to accept the idea that a good God would allow such a tragedy.

Bianco was devastated by a further reaction. He was unable to remember what the boy looked like or how he sounded. "I had total amnesia when it came to Michael," Bianco said.

Then one day he accompanied his wife to a Trappist monastery in Bardstown, Ky. She was a food writer for the New York newspaper Newsday and was researching recipes for foods produced at the monastery.

Bianco decided to attend a service in the monastery chapel. When he heard the monks chanting he felt the presence of his son, and suddenly he could "see" him again.

Bianco felt Michael was giving him a message.

When Bianco left the chapel the amnesia returned.

When he returned, he again could envision his son. Bianco felt his hostility to God breaking down.

He became filled with a yearning for spiritual healing and felt that Michael had led him to find peace and renewed faith.

Bianco decided to write about the life ofthe Trappists. The monks had become well known after the book by the late Thomas Merton, "Seven-Storey Mountain," was

published in 1948. Bianco wanted to pick up the story of their current life, their words, prayer and relationships with each other.

The Trappists gave Bianco permission to live for four months in several monasteries in the United States and France. The result is an astounding book that sometimes reads like a novel and becomes food for meditation for anyone on a spiritual journey to find God. There is much to learn from the monks, like "Mac," so full of honesty and wisdom. He says there is only one difference from life inside the monastery walls to life outside.

"The pressure in here is to be honest, to build something real,"

Mac said. "Outside, the pressure is to compete, to win, to acquire."

He added, "It's easy to love in the sunshine. But the test of love comes in the rain, when it's dark .and cold and your heart feels empty."

What makes Bianco's "Voices of Silence" especially powerful as that you don't just hear words.

Instead, you experience the individuality of each monk. "God never uses a cookie cutter to create," explained the abbot of the monastery.

Bianco said grief helped him appreciate Michael's time with the family. "So it is in gratitude that I dedicate this book to Michael and his love of others that made for him, and makes for us, an ongoing miracle of creation," Bianco wrote.

When will our nation make children a priority?

By DOLORES CURRAN

I was delighted to read the U.S. bishops' document, "Putting Children and Families First: A Challenge for Our Church, Nation and World," which calls on lawmakers to help the growing number of hungry, sick and abused children in our country and in the Catholic community to lend political pressure to the cause.

"The church is campaigning for the weakest among us, those soft voices drowned out frequently by the noise of contemporary society,"

I hope the church leaders speak out when issues affecting children are being discussed in Washington. Take the family leave bill, for example. The U.S. and South Africa are the only industrial nations without a family leave bill.

After years of lobbying for such a bill, Colorado Congresswoman Pat Schroeder pushed a mild bill granting upaid job-protected leave to parents of new babies through Congress. But, after promising to support such legislation during his last campaign, President Bush caved in to pressure from the chambers of commerce and vetoed it. There weren't enough votes to override the veto. Why not?

I would have liked to have heard an outcry from religious leaders then. If we truly believe that infants

need parents around, then why do we remain silent when bill after bill requiring employers to grant maternalleave is defeated?

When budgets for childhood vaccinations and infant milk supplements are slashed, there's little outrage from either church or community leaders who do not like to get i~volved in taking political stands. It's much easier to call for' more aid than to protest specific cutbacks.

We are all responsible for this, not just our church leaders. One way we can speak for children is to monitor candidates during this election year.

Practically every candidate promises more family support and abandons that promise once in office.

Why? Because children don't pour

monies into campaign coffers. When it comes time to put their principles where their promises were, lawmakers waffle.

We need to grill candidates for their stand on aid to depe'ndent children, parental leave, guaranteed health care, and subsidized child care. They will be for all of these publicly, of course. But when their legislative sessions converie we must keep the pressure on, writing to them and the media, quoting their promises and publicizing their votes.

We just can't keep saying we don't have enough money to take care of our children. We find enough money to bailout savings and loan scams, to finance Gulf wars, and protect endangered species. But not our children.

said Denver Archbishop J. Francis Stafford.

He and other religious leaders in Colorado and Wyoming blamed poor economic conditions and social service budget cuts for the declining conditions for children and pledged to lobby lawmakers for more money for Aid to Families with Dependent Children, tax reforms to help working families and guaranteed access ,to health care.

I hope the rest of us will take our cue from religious leaders and demand that voices of children be heard. Eight million American families lack health insurance and 20 percent of our children live in poverty. Yet, children's issues continue to be neglected by state and national lawmakers because children have no vote or lobby.

Since babies like being wrapped snugly, blankets are a necessity.

Make or buy 36-inch squares, lightweight cotton for summer,cotton flannel for cool weather. Sew two flannel squares together to make, lovely double-thick baby quilts.

Baby needs a bed. Small babies like the feeling of being contained.

You can make a bed for a small baby out of a sturdy box. Line it ,with cloth, being sure that the cloth cannot come loose and fall into the box, and use a cushioning material to make a firm mattress.

No abortion I have been blessed with two great sons. At birth they were quite small.

For medical reasons I was told "no babies" you should have at all.

Abort!!! your heart won't take it.

You'll never live to tell.

No abortion!! I refused to give my soul to hell.

Four heart operations and 3 Csections and I'm still here to see.

Two sons and three grandchildren. God's been good to me. I pray for all who thought they had no recourse but to abort. Their lives will never be the sa'me.

Sweet Jesus! I ask this in your name. That in your love and mercy, forgiveness you will give.

I'm sure they are sorry they didn't let their babies live.

"DIGGER" PHELPS

From hoops to "Weed and Seed" NEW YORK (CNS) - Richard F. "Digger" Phelps, former Notre Dame men's basketball coach, has joined a bigger team: the federal Office of National Drug Control Policy.

He will be a special assistant to director Bob Martinez, serving as a liaison between the office and Justice Department in coordinating "Operation Weed and Seed," an initiative focusing on violent crime and neighborhood revitalization.

"The quickest and soundest way of taking back our country is taking back our neighborhoods," Phelps said. "We've got to bring the same commitment to Operation Domestic Storm that we brought to Operation Desert Storm." .

Phelps, in a-telephone interview with Catholic New York, archdiocesan newspaper, said, "We've got to show young people that there are options outside of gangs and drugs and guns and teen-age pregnancy."

Operation Weed and Seed will send about $1 million each to 16 cities: Atlanta; Boston; Charleston, S.C.; Chicago; Denver; Fort Worth, Texas; Los Angeles; Madison, Wis.; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Richmond, Va.; San Antonio; San Diego; Seattle; Washington; and Wilmington, Del. The "weed" elements of the operation are coordination of law enforcement efforts to "weed out" violent offenders, and community policy in which law enforcement works closely with residents to solve neighborhood problems that cause crime and drug use: Then the program will "seed" targeted sites with drug and crime prevention and treatment programs, educational opportunities, family services and 'recreational activities. The idea is to provide an anti-crime environment, economic development and expanded economic opportunities for residents to revitalize distressed neighborhoods.

President Bush proposed $500 million in the fiscal 1993 budget to expand the program within the 16 cities, add two cities, and fund the Weed and Seed programs for not only the Department of Justice but also the departments of Education, Labor, Transportation, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development.

Phelps coached at Notre Dame for 20 years, posting a 393-197 record and 14 NCAA tournament appearances. Earlier he was a coach

Travel needs cited NEW YORK (CNS) - T~ chaplain at Chicago's O'Hare Airport says if the Catholic Church wants to be where people are, it must pay more attention to the millions of travelers who continually pass through the nation's airports. Father John A. Jamnicky, president of the National Catholic Conference of Airport Chaplains, said airport ministry has grown but still presents the church with vast unmet needs and opportunities. Employees, he added, also present a challenge for ministry.

"Fifty thousand people work at O'Hare," he said at the annual meeting of the airport chaplains' conference held recently in Queens.

Sponsor a Child for Only $12 a Month.

At last! Here is a $12 sponsorship program for Americans who are unable to send $20, $21, or $22 a month to help a needy child.

Arid yet, this is a full sponsorship program because for $12 a month you will receive: • a 3W' x 5" photograph of the child you are helping.

• two personal letters from your child each year.

• a complete Sponsorship Kit with your child's case history and a special report about the country where your child lives.

• issues of our newsletter, "Sponsorship News."

All this for only $12 a month?

Yes-because Children International believes that many Americans would like to help a needy child. And so we searched for ways to reduce the cost-without reducing . . 'the help that goes to the child you sponsor.

For example, unlike some of the other orgarnzatlOns, your child does not write each month, but two letters a year from your child keep you in contact and, of course, you can write to the child just as often as you WISh. Also, to keep down administrative costs, we do ~ot . offer the so-called "trial child" that the other orgarnzatlons mail to prospective sponsors before the sponsors send any money.

We do not feel that it is fair to the child for a sponsor to decide whether or not to help a child based on a child's photograph or the case history. . .

Every child who comes to Ch1ldren Internatlonal for . help is equally needy!

And to minimize overseas costs, our field workers are citizens of the countries where they serve. Many volunteer their time, working directly with families, orphanages and schools,

LiJt/e Marta lives in the Holy lAnd - and she is only one extlmple of children from countries around the world who urgently need a sponsor.

You can make a difference! $12 a month may not seem like much help to many Americans but to a poor family living on an income of $1.50 or $2.00 a day, your sponsorship can help make all the difference in the world.

Will you sponsor a child? Your $12 a month will help provide so much: • emergency food, clothing and medical care.

• a chance to attend school.

• help for the child's family and community, with counseling on housing, agriculture, nutrition, an~ other vital areas to help them become self-suffiCient.

A child needs your love! .

Here is how you can sponsor a child immediately for only $12:a month: ' 1. Fill out the coupon and tell us if you want k? sponsor a boy or a girl, and check the country of your Ch01~.

2. Or mark the "Emergency List" box and we will assign a child to you that most urgently needs to have . . . .. a sponsor.

3. Send your $12 in right now and this will elimmate the cost of a "trial child" Then, in just a few days you will receive your child's name, photograph and case history.

May we hear from you? We believe that our sponsorship program protects the dignity of ~e child an~ the . family and at the same time prOVides Amencans WIth a positive and beautiful way to help a needy youngster.

"I have no time for it," he said.

"My life is very full and very happy. It's going to stay that way.

My hating them will not hurt them an ounce. It will only hurt me."

He said he had forgiven them because he was a Catholic and "I am required to forgive."

Anderson said he considered suicide several times during his six-year, nine-month captivity, but rejected it. He relied heavily on his faith, which he said he had renewed six months before being kidnapped.

"I must have read the Bible 50 times from start to finish," he said.

"It was an enormous help to me."

He said he maintained sanity by talking, reading and playing cards and chess with the other hostages.

The short, stocky former Marine described his first few weeks in captivity as the most devastating.

"It was a stunning thing to go out for tennis one day and end up chained to a cot and blindfolded the next," he said.

Anderson said things improved after he told the guard: "I can't do this. I can't live like this. I'm not an animal."

He said that constant transfers from prison to prison were the worst part of his ordeal. He said the guards would tape up the hostages' bodies like mummies with only an air hole at the nose. They would then st.uff them into ca~ trunks or secret compartments of trucks and ride for several hours over bumpy, dusty roads.

"It took an enormous amount of will not to throw up," he said. "I knew that if I did, I would choke and die."

He said the hostages lived in constant fear that the guards would explode at them for their own mistakes. Guards sometimes left their chains undone and the hostages were expected to lock themselves up.

"It is a very difficult thing to look at that chain unlocked by your leg, pick it up and lock it. It was very hard to do," he said.

Toward the end of their captivity, Anderson said the hostages were allowed to listen to radio news reports, watch TV and read books.

Anderson said he'll spend the next year on a fellowship at Columbia University working on a book about the ordeal. A full-page advertisement in The New York Times May 4 from the Freedom Forum said Anderson would receive a $245,000 award, $100 for each day in captivity.

He's also eager to see an NBC television docudrama about his captivity, which he said he hopes stars an actor who's "not too ugly."

Asked whether he had any regrets or apprehensions on leaving captivity after seven years, Anderson said he wouldn't miss his captors: "They told me I was welcome back in Beirut any time and I would be perfectly safe. I said, "Thank you.'"

Malawi arrests bishops critical of government

By Richard E. Sincere Jr. The following article is by the Director of African Affairs at the International Freedom Foundation. It is followed by a Catholic News Service article on the same subject. Editor Nonagenarian dictator Hastings Zamuzu Banda of Malawi is visibly weak, physically and politicall~. Now he seems to be lashing o~t In a last-gasp attempt to maintain total control over the poor southeastern African country no larger than the state of Pennsylvania that he has ruled for more than 30 years.

His weakening grasp is indicated by a pastoral letter issued by Malawi's Roman Catholic bishop last March 8. This letter was the first public criticism of the govern":lent by anyone of consequence sInce an attempted coup was quash.ed in 1967. Not surprisingly, after It was released, the bishops were arrested, the letter was banned, and it was announced that anyone possessing the letter would be prosecuted for subversion.

Although freedom of worship' has been respected even during the years of Banda's ironfisted rule freedom of religion in the Ameri~ can sense is unknown. During the 1970s, harsh repression against Jehovah's Witnesses (whose religious beliefs bar participation in politics and thus membership in Banda's ruling party) led to perhaps hundreds of deaths and thousands of Witnesses being driven into exile.

The country has only one news- . paper, the Malawi Times. which serves more as a booster club for Banda than as a source of news.

With no independent sources of i~formation but rare and expensIve shortwave radios, public criticism ofthe Banda regime's excesses has been scarce and severely punished. That is why the bishops' pastoral was greeted so eagerly by the Malawian people and so har~hly by the authorities. So hungry are the people for critical words about the regime that the English-language version of the letter sold out almost immediately, before the government could prevent its distribution.

What had the bishops said that brought such a reaction? To an American Catholic reader, nothing remarkable. The bishops noted the obligation of the Church defined during the Second Vatica~ Council, to "communicate its understan~ing of the meaning of human lIfe and of society."

The bishops encouraged Christian citizens to respond to bad ~on~itions by participating in publIc lIfe. "Participation in the life of the country is not only a right," they said. "It is a duty that each Christian should be proud to assume and exercise responsibly." ~articipation, they added, should Include an effort to restore trust justice and fairness to the work: ings of government.

What landed the bishops in such ~r?u~le was their description of IOJUStlce and ofgovernment accountable to no one. It began: "Bribery ~nd nep?tism are growing in politIcal, SOCIal and economic life. This causes violence and harm to the spirit of the people." Corrupt dictators are not keen to hear such criticism.

In a thinly veiled critique of President-for-Life Banda (who is

also minister of agriculture,public works, foreign affairs, and justice), the bishops assert: "N 0 one person can claim to have a monopoly of truth and wisdom. No individualor group of individuals-can pretend to have all the resources to guarantee the progress of a nation."

Calling for a new respect for freedom of expression, the bishops admonish that "nobody should ever have to suffer reprisals for hones~ly expressing and living up to theIr convictions, intellectual religious, or political." They not~ that academic freedom is restricted whistleblowers are considered trai: tors, and those who are not members of the ruling party are denied "access to public places like markets, hospitals, [and] bus depots."

The bishops' courage in broadcasting their views has had a ripple effect. A week after their letter was released, several hundred university students held a peaceful demonstration in their support. There were unconfirmed reports that the police fired on the marchers.

- Nor could the government ignore ~he letter. By attacking it publicly In the state-controlled press, the regime alerted thousands of people to its existence. The Malawi Times called the pastoral "poisonous and seditious." The Irish-born apostolic adminstrator of the Mzuzu diocese, Father John Roche, was tagged as a "satanic neocolonialist" and I R A terrorist.

Later he was confronted by government agents during an Easter Vigil service and ordered to leave the country within 24 hours. The article further threatened to set "the clenched fist of the laws of this country" against the bishops "without mercy."

Banda will soon die. In the words of Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons. "Death comes to us all...yes, even to kings he comes."

Unfortunately, the death of his regime with him is unlikely.. His right-hand man, John Tembo stands poised to take over. ' . Still, Ban~a's demise may proVI~~ ~n opemng for further public cntlclsm by the Catholic bishops and ?ther. religious leaders, by now-Impnsoned dissidents and whistleblowers, and by exiled civic leaders. Moral pressure from individuals abroad may help. Americans can write to express their concern to Malawi's ambassador, Robert B. Mbaya, at 2408 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20008.

Patrick's Missionary, was interviewed in Rome shortly after meeting with Pope John Paul II. In their brief encounter, the pope said he was following the tense situation in Malawi and was concerned about the expulsion, Father Roche said.

In April, following the arrest of . the bishops and at the request of Malawi's government, the pope sent a personal envoy to try to defuse the situation. Despite reconciliatory statements by the government and the Vatican, Father Roche was expelled on April 18.

Father Roche said that after talking with Vatican officials in Rome, he was conv'inced that they support the bishops' document and the local church's position. The Vatican, through diplomatic chan~els, ?as taken active steps regard109 hIS own deportation, he said.

But the priest, who had been in Malawi for 20 years, said he had no real hope of being allowed back into the country under the Banda regime. His departure leaves the diocese of Mzuzu without a representative of the hierarchy.

Father Roche said he may have been expelled because he had challenged the government on health and education issues over the last five years. Also, he noted, he was a foreigner, he was not a bishop and he was the only native speaker of English in the hierarchy. The pastoral letter was first drafted in English.

Father Roche said the Vatican's attempt to mediate the dispute "weakened our position."

After his arrival in Malawi, the papal mediator, Archbishop Giovanni De Andrea, convinced the bishops to issue a clarifying memorandum. It said the pastoral letterWas intended not to create conflict but to implement Catholic social teaching.

But he added that strictly humanitarian aid should be continued to Malawi, especially now that the country is facing a drought. He also noted that statements of support by international church leaders, in particular the U.S. bishops' con~erence, were "very much appreciated" by the church in Malawi.

"The one thing we did not want that memo to look like was an apology," Father Roche said. But after it was issued, he said, President Banda said the bishops had apologized.

Asked about proposals to divert Western aid away from Malawi in view of its crackdown on the church, Father Roach said: "I think some pressure has to be placed on Malawi, and that's certainly one way todo it."

TERESA ORNDORFF TYRRELL sits in her trailer home outside Woodstock, Va., with Franciscan Father Martin Schratz, pastor of St. John Bosco parish in Woodstock, who confirmed Mrs. Tyrrell when she converted to Catholicism at' age 102. (CNS photo)

A convert at age 102 WOODSTOCK, Va. (CNS) When Teresa Orndorff Tyrrell joined the Catholic Church a few weeks after her 102nd birthday, she became the oldest convert in the history of the Arlington diocese.

But it wasn't a move she made lightly - or quickly.

Baptized in the Cedar Creek Christian Church, Cedar Creek, Va., in 1902, Mrs. Tyrrell decided to convert after marrying William J. Tyrrell, a Catholic, in'1916 and , promising her in-laws she would raise her six children as Catholics.

"I took them to church and had them sent to Catholic schools" she said. "I went to Catholic churches more than my own."

She decided, however, that she would not actually convert until she was on her death bed. After her husband died in 1944, she remained in their Arlington, Va., home until 29 years ago. That's when she bOllght a trailer and had it hauled over the mountains to the Shenandoah Valley where she was born and raised.

"I'm going to stay right here as long as I live," she said of her trailer home, located outside Woodstock.

She's glad to be "home" but is somewhat saddened by the changes her valley has seen. "When I look out the window, it doesn't look like the same place," she said.

"There's no farming anymore no corn, no pigs, no cows."

Mrs. Tyrrell, who now has eight great-great-grandchildren, remembers the days when her family grew

its own vegetables and bought eggs and butter from the "huckster" who came by horse and buggy; when there was no electricity and one phone line served the whole valley; and when she made extra money by milking the neighbor's cows before walking to school.

One reason she stayed in _the local Christian church so long was that many of her friends were members there. Now, most ofthose people are gone.

When three of her friends died recently, Mrs. Tyrrell realized that Franciscan Father Martin Schratz, pastor of St. John Bosco parish in Woodstock, was 20 minutes away by a narrow mountain road. She didn't want to be caught in a situation where Father Schratz, or future pastors, couldn't reach her in time.

"I knew I might be next," she said. "I made up my mind right then to do it."

Father Schratz confirmed Mrs. Tyrrell on Easter morning rather than at the regular Holy Saturday vigil Mass so that Mrs. Tyrrell and her daughter would not have to drive the mountain road late at night. More than 400 family members, friends and parishioners packed into the small church to take' part in what Father Schratz describes as a beautiful and emotional ceremony. "Even those people who didn't know her were crying," he said.

"I feel so glad I did it," Mrs. Tyrrell said. "I really feel like I've done all I can. I'm not a bit afraid of dying."

LOSIng our couth?

Is America growing more uncouth?

Some foreign observers believe we never were couth, but I claim we are losing what little we did possess. Our falling state is marked by a decline in style, taste, manners and language.

My gut feeling that Americans are becoming more uncouth is not a sign of my advancing age or proof that I am living in the past.

It's based on the fact that I've lived a long time and have not forgotten how it was.

When I hear cursing, profanity and four-letter words coming from the mouths of women today, I wonder whether these excesses reflect women's liberation or the general deterioration in manners and language afflicting both sexes.

I don't know the answer, but I do know the language of public discourse is becoming less graceful. And the change is speeding up, according to one continuing study.

In the major media of newspapers and r.lagazines a dramatic increase in the use of four-letter words has come in the last five' years, The fact that they're not only doing it but getting away with it shows how little we care.

Some 61 percent of more than 200 representative newspaper and nagazine editors would publish an expletive under certain conditions, according to the 13th annual language usage survey made by

.

Indiana University retired journalism professor Richard Tobiti.

Just five years earlier, Tobin's study reported that only seven percent of copy editors surveyed would permit the use of profanity in print! Some 93 percent would not publish profanity despite its source or context in 1986. . Only 20 percent of those surveyed said they would now cut vulgarity out of copy. Only 39 percent are trying to hold the line by refusing to permit expletives to appear under any circumstances.

As a one-time daily newspaper reporter who has seen presses stopped to remove offending words, and who has deleted fourletter words in covering politicians and public servants, I am depressed by seeing expletives in print or photos.

The rapid change in the print media is simply a reflection of the verbal excesses that flood television at all hours of the day. It appears that magazines and newspapers are trying to catch up.

I have centered on media la'nguage as a sign of our uncouthness, but it can be shown in other ways. I am bothered by the casual dress, like grubby jeans and sports clothing,' worn at weekend Masses.

Good manners are a form of generosity, and I am irked when young people don't offer their bus seats to their elders, or when elders

take the end seats in church pews and won't move in for latecomers.

I am annoyed when my favorite airline decides to let its cabin attendants stop picking up glasses, dishes and food trays by hand and provides them with garbage bags so they can sweep the remains off the food tables instead.

I am old-fashioned enough to tip my hat to members of the clergy, sisters' or to women I meet on the street. And I am annoyed when I step back to let a woman go ahead through a door or into .an elevator and I am rebuffed.

Learning manners was an important part of growing up long ago, and we were taught by parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents and Emily Post, who promoted proper conduct in the daily papers.

I'm still learning. Now Miss Manners is the oracle of what it means to be ladies and gentlemen, though the terms seem to be disappearing - even from restroom doors. There I go, losing my couth.

(Massachusetts) Thank you for an eloquent letter on the love of children. Not everyone wants to care for small children, but you remind those who do to take advantage of the time they have.

Too often grandparents worry that they are being manipulate.d or used, and they fail to enjoy the treasures they have, You also point out how grandparents, and children, can be the big losers in a divorce, I wish we could take custody decisions out of the courts, where the adversarial system reigns, and assign them to mediation.

Child rearing is a process that goes on long after the divorce is final. Woe to those divorcing parents who have destroyed each other in the divorce hearing; the postdivorce child rearing is almost impossible.

A good mediator will get the parties together, even when they are hostile, and help them work out a solution together, one with no winners or losers and one that includes grandparents. Children need their grandparents,

Albania encouraged VATICAN CITY (CNS) - Pope John Paul II has encouraged Albania to continue along the road to democracy now that a noncommunist government has been elected. He commented at a recent Vatican meeting with Albanian President Sali Berisha. In March election, Berisha's Albanian Democratic Party defeated the Albanian Socialist Party, organized by ex-communists.

years at Fatima

Continued from Page One Each year, well over a million pilgrims travel to her shrine at Fatima. Many walk the final yards to the site on their knees.

Last year the honored guest was Pope John Paul II, who led the 74th anniversary celebration of the first apparition. The pope has a special devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, crediting her with saving his life in 1981 when a would-be assassin critically wounded him in St. Peter's Square.

The shots rang out as the pope was traveling through the crowd in his then uncovered popemobile before his Wednesday general' l> audience. Coincidentally, the date t '~' was May 13.

munism's atheistic philosophy and repressive political system which tried to grind religion underfoot.

There is a main difficulty in forming a consensus view of the specifics of the Fatima message.

Most of what has become associated with the apparitions was retold years later in writing by the sole survivor of the three children, Carmelite Sister Lucia dos Santos.

Not all the writings have been made public, giving rise to the socalled "third secret" of Fatima, the unpublished portion of her account.

Speculation about its contents has ranged from predictions of a world cataclysm to pinpointed calls for a holy war against the Soviet Union.

Church officials who have read the "third secret" say publishing it is unnecessary as the content is contained in revealed truth.

These officials include Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head ofthe Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He said the "third secret" is in keeping with Christ's emphasis on the urgency of personal repentance.

Sister Lucia, now 85, lives in a cloistered convent near Fatima.

She is not permitted by the local bishop to make public statements.

Her cousins, who also saw the apparitions, died of influenza, one in 1919 and the other in 1920.

Holy Sepulcher church reconsecrated

CHRISTIAN ApOSTOLIC

The Anchor Friday, May 15, 1992

The rapid collapse of communist rule since 1989, first ·in East Europe, and then in the Soviet Union, has fed the beliefthat fighting communism was a strong component of the Fatima message.

When the pope visited Fatima last year, he thanked Mary for helping free East Europe from communist rule. But he added that the message of Mary is an ongoing one of deepening individual faith and that the need to strengthen spiritual life is what still draws people to Fatima.

"This enormous multitude of pilgrims with candles of faith lit and the rosary in their hands confirms that I have reached Fatima," he said last year in addressing over 500,000 people at the Marian shrine.
