Unborn have friend in Richard Coleman By Pat McGowan It took fellow lawyers aback when a past president of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, long active in the top echelons of the American Bar Association, resigned from both. Richard M. Coleman, formerly of St. Mary's parish, South Dartmouth, now a prominent Los Angeles trial lawyer, gave his reasons in a letter to ABA president L. Stanley Chauvin. The letter was written Feb. 26, 13 days after the House of Delegates of the powerful national organization had voted 238-106 to back a woman's freedom to have an abortion without legal interference. In it, Coleman said: I believe that the abortionon-demand position is wrong on the merits - wrong logically, wrong morally and, for many persons, wrong theologically. I understand that some disagree (and I would be happy to debate them in some other forum). But before the merits are reached, three other issues must be considered. Each of the following considerations should have mandated the defeat of the resolution. Each was rejected by the House of Delegates. I. The abortion issue is not within the purview of the ABA; it is not central to the work-

ings of the profession or of the courts, the legitimate scope of the ABA. 2. A stand on such a divisive issue should not have been taken without a prior poll of the members. Polls repeatedly have demonstrated that a majority of the general public opposes abortion-ondemand. The members of the House of Delegates were not selected or elected because of their views on the abortion Turn to Page Six

Pope concludes Mexico visit

''W''''

Diplomatic ties, evangelization were major concerns MEXICO CITY (CNS) - Pope John Paul II visited Mexico's shrines and shantytowns to serve notice that his desire for diplomatic relations does not mean the church will muffle its voice on political issues. Throughout eight days in May, the pope mixed praise for improved church-state relations in Mexico with pinpointed criticisms of government policies, ranging from ster-

ilization programs to restrictions on Catholic education. Although papal criticisms during a pastoral visit are nothing new, in Mexico they came against the backdrop of anti-clerical laws that prohibit clergy involvement in politics. Another factor is general Mexican skepticis!TI, even among Catholics, of a church role in politics. During the 18th century, church

leaders favored dictators and oligarchs hoarding power. The fear is that the church would use its new political clout to seek privileges. Amending the anti-clerical consititution is a major issue in current church-state relations, and establishment of diplomatic relations revolves around this. In Mexico, the pope added to debate over the church's role in Turn to Page Six

R,n'''in. nn hi' 40 y'''' a, a priest, Father Q'Neill said, "there have been so many things over the years that have moved me greatly. It's amazing to look back and see how the pleasant memories are so prominent." Among those pleasant memories, he said, is the day he first became a -pastor. "Going to my first parish and knowing I was responsible for it was a wonderful occasion," he said. Also "one of the great days of my life," he said, was the day St. A 11 om';np'. rhurch was dedicated

by Bi'hnp Cnnnnlly. Fath" O'Naili had supervised construction ofthe church for a year, and "the parishioners watched it grow up," he said. ' Forever prominent in his memory, he added, is the first time he said Mass in English after Vatican II, "facing the congregation from beginning to end." "We'd had little bits of it in the 50s and early 60s, and then finally came the day when the whole Mass was in English. It was a great emotional experience."

Two priests to celebrate 40th jubilees Two diocesan priests will observe the 40th anniversary of their ordination with celebrations next month. , Fathers Francis B. Connors and Cornelius J. O'Neill were ordained by Bishop James L. Connolly June 3, 1950, at St. Mary's Cathedral. Father Connors An anniversary celebration for Father Connors, who is retired for reasons of health, is planned for June 10 at St. John the Evangelist church, Pocasset, where he has assisted for several years.

He graduated from Bishop Stang High School, North Dartmouth in 1967, then entered the Sacred Hearts community. Father Powell was a transitional deacon at St. Joseph's parish, Fairhaven, where he was ordained by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin in 1976, offering his first Mass at St. Joseph's, New Bedford. Following ordination, he served briefly in Hawaii, then taught in a Sacred Hearts high school in California. Assignments in retreat work followed and from 1981 to 1983 he was assistant director at the Newman Center of the University of California Davis campus. Father Powell was then voca-

themoorin~ Are We Losing the War? It is most painful to admit that we as a people and nation are losing the drug war. One would think that with all the resources at our disposal, we would at least make a dent in this trade that brings only death and heartbreak, but it seems we are either unable or unwilling to control our borders and our coasts. Somehow, we must question our national'resolve with regard to this ultimate issue of survival. Are so many addicted to cocaine and crack that we are unable to encourage a drugfree society? Are our laws dealing with drugs and their vendors so ineffective that we cannot enforce them? Is the money generated by the drug business so tempting that in actual fact our ultimate drug is the profit motive? There are hundreds of questions but few answers. In our own diocese, trafficking is a major problem. Smuggling by sea has become big business for many local pushers, att~sted to by headlines. With hundreds of miles of coast indented by uncounted coves and moorings, the local geography is as muchmade to order for drugrunning as it was for rumrunning in the days of Prohibition. . As a result, drug busts are a daily occurrence in our cities and towns; daily, overdosing claims its victims; daily, drugassociated violence breaks bodies. The litany is endless. _ Sad to say, it seems we are somehow developing an immunity to the shock and sadness that have-infiltrated our social or:.der. Perhaps we are becoming so overwhelmed by drugs that we are simply blocking out the problem. If so, we are:indeed in a sad state. The drug war should be supported to the same extent as is the department of defense. The time for tokenism is over. This means that we must have a government-funded, cohesive and inclusive program, not a hodgepodge of separate and random initiatives. W ~ also need to support those forces already in place that do so much with so little, such as our Coast Guard, one arm of defense that really gets the hand-me-downs. How can the few ships, planes and personnel ~ssigned to our 10cal waters put a dent in -drug smuggling? Given current allocations,' it's a hopeless task. Let us think boldly in this regard. Let us encourage a new vision of the Coast Guard, possibly a rethinking of its traditional multifaceted ,mission. This would indeed be a drastic change for the "silent service"; but it seems that the time is at hand when what is expected of the Coast Guard is so specialized that the longheld "general duty" concept is no longer viable. Whatever the speculation, the present situation demands that the Coast Guard be given real teeth rather than mere dentures to permit it to tackle the tasks, especially those concerned with drug smuggling, that are its responsibility. The above are but two examples of action that can make a' difference in the day war. There are indeed many more areas of involvement that should be supported and encouraged as we attempt to contain the seemingly uncontrollable spread of narcotics usage, especially among the young, the neglected and the ignored. The time for wishy-washiness is long gone. There is no room in the war on drugs for the fainthearted. Strong, forcefull;lnd resolute measures must be promoted by those determined to restore the hope and promise of our society. We must ,realize that winning skirmishes is no longer sufficient. Nothing less than total victory over drugs must be our goal. . The Editor

IN AGUASCALIENTES, MEXICO, POPE JOHN PAUL II SEEMS TO ECHO THE MESSAGE OF THE STATUE OF MARY BEHIND HIM

"I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning and I will prove my Maker just." Job 36:3

The authority of the church By Father Kevin J. Harrington We all have had problems with authority at some time in our lives. To understand its place, we must have a correct idea of its nature and purpose. For authority to have a beneficial effect its origin must be legitimate and it must be properly exercised. Instinctively, we know that authority can be either good or bad. For political or religious authority to be perceived as good, it should be conferred by the community. Ideally, the governed should have a say in who will govern them; and only those who have demonstrated willingness to sacrifice for the sake of the common good should be invited to lead. In real life, unfortunately, leaders too often insulate themselves from those whom they are called to lead; hence those subject to their authority begin to resent them. This often happens when authority is considered detrimental to its true purpose. The cynic may ask: "Does power corrupt or do the corrupt seek power?" The realist reminds us of the famous saying: "In essential matters, unity; in doubtful matters, liberty; in all matters, charity." Pope Paul VI in his first encycli'cal, "Ecclesiam Suam," promulgated while the Second Vatican Council was still in session, confronted the problem of leaders insulating themselves from their followers in his call for a lifegiving dialogue with concentric circles of membership. Thus one circle proceeds from the richness of our common humanity, another from those who believe in one God

and the last from those who believe these pasforalletters; but the very that the one God took human flesh complexity of our problems makes it all the more urgent that those in in order to die and rise again. These circles of dialogue enrich authority in the church continue the church and those who exercise to search out new ways of comauthority sho'uld do everything in municating Christ's teaching to their power to avoid disrupting today's world. Indeed, the church must face anyone of them. Authority within the church has many tough issues if it is to be true many forms, but the purpose of to its calling. Just as Jesus in his each is the same: to enable the time taught the world about his church to remain in touch with its Father's love and called people to Lord, to'help God's people remain sanctity, so also the church in faithful. Perhaps the greatest role every age and place teaches and of those who exercise authority in sanctifies and calls human beings the church is to help form correct to respond to its teaching and its promise of holiness. consciences.

For inactiv'e priests" R'i~~~C~~~ 18, 1990 By

"How do YO'U deal with kids who want their own way?" parents ask. "Which kids?" I'm tempted to reply. I don't, of course, because it sounds flip but basically I mean it. Given two truths - 'all kids want their own way and all kids need limits or boundaries - parents don't always realize that they are custom tailors. They have to fit the response to a given child at a given time. There are no readymade children or ready-made answers. Boundaries are importan~ and caring parents set them but their boundaries have some built-in flexibility. Rigidity and permissiveness are two extremes in parenting and they cause great stress in families. The overly rigid parent sets rules which must be obeyed at all times. This family serves the rule rather than the rule serving the family. A good example is a family who had a rule that no one could date until age 16. When their 15-year-old daughter was chosen homecoming princess, she was not allowed to attend the dance. . Overly permissive parents set no rules or don't enforce the ones they set so rules become mere suggestions. The family may have an S o'clock bedtime rule but the children are still wandering about at 10. Eventually the parents blow up

and family peace is shattered every night. It's basic for parents to realize that children want rules even though .they may fight them. Children are troubled when they have too much control. They trust parents to enforce rules that protect them and they often equate parental control with love. Adult addicts or criminals will often say, "My parents knew what I was doing but they didn't care enough to stop me." Didn't care enough. As parents, we care, but sometimes we just get tired of the daily task of nurturing good behavior. Or we get frustrated dealing with the same issues over and over. Children don't equate relinquishment of control with parental fatigue or frustration, however. They ascribe it to lack of caring. If I could give parents a skill, it would be that of mutual negotiation, which means they set rules and consequences and stick to them but that they leave room within the rules for maneuverability and negotiation so that children have some power and responsibility. . Let's use bedtime again as an example. The rule may be an S o'clock bedtime but children might ask to read in bed or listen to the radio for awhile. "How long?" the parent inquires. "Until I fall asleep:" "I can't buy that. Try again."

DOLORES CURRAN

"An hour?" "Let's try 30 minutes and see how it works." Ifthe child stretches the 30 minutes, and it's likely he will the first time, then the next time he asks. the parent can say. "That didn't work last time. We'll go with lights out at S'oclock for a week and try again." This approach puts the responsibility on the children rather than parents. Chores can also be negotiated. "I expect this to be done by dinner but I'll leave it up to you to decide when you want to do it," the parent can say. This is preferable to our saying. "Do it now!," because it gives the child some control. If the chore isn't finished by dinner, then the child's dinner is delayed. Consequences, too, can be negotiated. When a teen fails to make curfew. the parent can ask. "What do you suggest as a fair consequence?" If the teen's reply is inconsequential, the parent says, "I see you're not old enough for this. I'll decide." It happens only once. The rigid parent orders, the permissive parent cops out. and the effective parent negotiates.

Unborn have friend in Richard Coleman Continued from Page One issue; there is no reason to believe that they accurately represent the view of their constituents as to abortionon-demand or that the views of those constituents differ from those of the general public. At the very least, fairness and simple decency required a vote of the general membership before committing the ABA to abortion-on-demand. 3. Abortion-on-demand is incompatible with the moral and religious convictions of many members.. I cannot speak for those of other religious persuasions; but, as a Catholic, I cannot be part of an organization that advocates abortion-on-demand. Senator Moynihan of New York has said that anti-Catholicism is "the one form of bigotry which liberalism still curiously seems to tolerate." Similarly, it is curious that those behind this resolution are so intolerant of the deeply held beliefs of others as .to force support of this issue as a condition of Bar membership - especially when there is a plethora of other organizations available for this kind of advocacy. The ABA's stand demonstrates contempt for its Catholic members and for all its members whose moral and religious convictions require rejection of abortion-on-demand. I do not wish to be part of an organization that takes a position so offensive to many of its members and does so on an issue beyond its normal purview. without even solicitingthe views of all its members. Therefore, I resign from the American Bar Association. Further, I cannot support the ABA's activity in this regard

in even a minimal way. Therefore, I must demand refund of my dues to me prorated through February 12, 1990. Coleman, the only president of the llO-year-old, 25,000-member Los Angeles County Bar Associa. tion to be elected as an officer by petition- rather than by the proposal of a nominating committee, had preceded his letter to Chauvin with an open letter to fellow county bar members protesting the local organization's planned cosponsorship of the ABA pro-choice resolution. In the letter he resigned from the local group and also said his firm, Coleman and Marcus, would no longer pay county bar dues for lawyers in its employ. His actions were reported in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. The Times quoted him as telling his peers, before they voted at the ABA House of Delegates meeting, that "If you're going to vote on this, see what an abortion looks like. If you can see that film and vote for this resolution, then God help you." Controversy is not new to Cole- , man. Among practices he championed as Los Angeles County Bar Association president was polling of the entire membership rather than merely delegated representatives on controversial matters the same procedure he advocated with regard to the ABA pro-choice stance. Coleman's distinguished career began at Manhattan's Regis High School where he was an honors student, vice president of the student body and drama club president. His family moved to South Dartmouth, when he was a freshman at Georgetown University, where he was student body president and a summa cum laude graduate. He holds law degrees from Harvard and Georgetown. Beginning his professional career

in Washington, he was an assistant U.S. attorney and special attorney under Robert Kennedy in the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the U.S. Department of Justice. Among cases in which he made grand jury and trial presentations were the HoffaTeamsters prosecutions. Coleman was subsequently chief of the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, then was chief of the Special Prosecutions Division of the U.S. attorney's office for southern and central California. Since 1971 he has been senior partner of Coleman and Marcus, a firm specializing in litigation, including contract, corporate and' criminal cases. He has also appeared as moderator and host on many television programs dealing with legal issues and has pfesented cases on "The Advocates," a Peabody Award-winning program seen on National Educational Television. Coleman followed his resignation from the bar associations with letters to state and local bar leaders and law school deans explaining his stand. He said some responses argued that leaving the legal organizations was analogous to "taking one's bat and ball home when one is losing a baseball game." His rebuttal to such correspondents was that the simile was "inappropriate when the issue involved is the killing of innocent human life....One must take one's bat home rather than let it be used to kill. Nuremberg is perhaps the most notable reminder that one can never abdicate personal responsibility for moral choices." He and other disenchanted colleagues, including ABA president Chauvin, are hoping to upset the House of Delegates' position at the national ABA meeting in Chicago in August. At that time there. will be an opportunity to rescind . the pro-choice resolution, an opportunity that pro-life lawyers who have remained in the ABA have vowed to seize. Coleman is also putting out feelers to fellow lawyers regarding possible organization of a' new ing homes and Charlton Memornational ba,r association, tentaial Hospital, Fall River. tively called the United States She is survived by two sisters, Jean Driscoll of Randolph and Catherine MacDonald ofSummerside, Prince Edward Island; and , by nieces and nephews.

Obituaries Sister MacDonald The Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Tuesday at Sacred Heart Church, Fall River, for Sister Jane Andrea MacDonald, SUSC, 87, who died May II. A member ofthe Holy Union Sistets for 65 years, she resided at Sacred Hearts Convent, Fall River.

Sister MacDonald had a long' CO career as a teacher, missionary and artist. She pronounced first vows as a Holy Union Sister in 1925 and final vows in 1930.

Brother Kepple The Mass of Christian Burial was offered last Saturday at Graymoor, NY, for Brother Emmanuel Kepple, SA, of Ferncliff Nursing Home, Rhinebeck, NY, who died May 9. Born May 29, 1909, in Fall River, he was the son of the late Nicholas' F. and Mary T. (Butler) Kepple. He was a graduate of BMC Durfee High School in Fall River. His Christian name of Nicholas Joseph was changed to Emmanuel in 1943 when he entered the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement at the congregation's headquarters at Graymoor in Garrison, NY.

Lawyers Association. "Crain's Chicago Business," an influential Midwestern business publication, takes the proposal seriously, saying in a front-page article that such an association "could undermine the ABA's position as the preeminent voice of the nation's 726,000 lawyers." Coleman has kept Msgr. Arthur G. Considine, retired pastor of St. Mary's, South Dartmouth, up-todate on his pro-life battle. "I go back 35 years with him," said the lawyer, recalling his vacation times in South Dartmouth, first as a student and now, with his wife Bonnie and 3-year-old son Matthew, as a visitor to his mother, Mrs. Frank T. Coleman. Mrs. Coleman is an active member ofSt. Mary's, said Father Waiter A. Sullivan, its present pastor, who forwarded to the Anchor copies of material sent by Coleman to Msgr. Considine. In doing so, Father Sullivan

commented, "I jOin my predecessor in playing the role of advocate for public recognition and applause for this kind of Catholic action." Mrs. Coleman, a holder of the Marian Medal for parish service, has been active since 1957 in a group that me~ts weekly to make bandages for the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home in Fall River. She is proud of her only child and his firm stand for his beliefs. Will Coleman continue to make waves? "I prefer to say that I will continue to do what I think right," he said. He added that he is heartened by a line of poet T.S. Eliot, which he said he thinks about daily: "Our job is the trying, the rest of it is not .,Our business." An article by Atty. Coleman, "The Irrationality of Abortion," appears on page 13 ofthis issue of the Anchor.

Pope in Mexico Continued from Page One politics by reasserting its right to pass moral judgment on contem-' porary affairs. He showed what he meant during 22 speeches in 10 cities, criticizing the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party's widespread corruption and monopoly on labor power and asking better recognition of the rights of thousands of Central . Americans living in Mexico after fleeing their homelands. At the same time, he signaled that he wished to improve the atmosphere of church-state relations rather than solve specific problems. He also indicated that his criticisms were not a deliberate effort to embarrass the government. The pope also reminded Mexi-

cans that church law forbids priests from holding' government posts. The reminder was meant to soothe fears that a drop of legal bans against priestly involvement in politics would mean partisan political meddling by the clergy. Reconversion Sought Also high on the pope's Mexican agenda was an effort to reconvert the growing number of Catholics lost to evangelizing fundamentalist sects. "Nothing would make the heart of the pope happier, during this pastoral visit, than the return to the breast of the church of those who have wandered astray," the pope said near the end of his eight day trip:

WALKER PERCY

Walker Percy dead at 73 COVINGTON, La. (CNS) Walker Percy, a' convert to Catholicism who won acclaim as novelist and essayist on the human condition, died May 10 of cancer at his home in Covington near New Orleans. He was 73. Winner of the 1962 National Book Award for his first published novel, "The Moviegoer," Percy published five other novels and two non-fiction books plus his essays. In 1988, Pope John Paul II appointed Percy to the Pontifical Council for Culture; and in 1989 he received the Laetare Medal, the University of Notre Dame's highest honor. He was awarded the St. Edmund Campion Medallion of the Catholic Book Club in 1986 "for long and eminent service in the cause of Christian letters."

Father Stallings ordained a bishop WASHINGTON (CNS) - Father George Stallings, excommunicated from the Catholic Church for founding the African-American Catholic Congregation, was ordained a bishop of his breakaway denomination May 12. Ordaining him was Archbishop Richard Bridges of the Independent Old Catholic Church of Southern California.' Six other bishops, all from denominations styled under Old Catholic principles of independence from the Roman Catholic Church, were present at the ceremony. The ceremony included the laying on of hands and prayers over the bishop necessary for a valid ordination.

The misery of famine victims is so desperate and vast that it is hard to imagine, heartbreaking to see. Fifty . thousand, maybe a hundred thousand small villages... five million people...starving as they wait for the harvest. There won't be one for another year. Efforts to bring food to the hungry are often frustrated by bad roads and civil war. Desperate families leave their homes in search of food. There is no guarantee that they will find clean water to drink, any nourishment, or a safe place to sleep. One beacon of hope for these starving people is Catholic Near East Welfare Association. We help send food, clothing and medical supplies to famine victims from Ethiopia and the Sudan. These countries are now facing another year of famine. Almost all the countries we serve have need of emergency assistance. You can do something about it. Please, send what you can. .

signal" of its support for negotiations to end the IO-year-old civil war in EI Salvador, Los Angeles Archbishop Roger M. Mahony has told House Speaker Thomas S. Foley. Archbishop Mahony, chairman of the U.S. bishops' International Policy Committee, told the Washington state Democrat that the U.S. bishops believe "there is no military solution for EI Salvador," and that a cutoff of military aid to the Central American country would be the best gesture of U.S. good will for peace there. "If a universal cutoff of outside aid cannot be achieved, we believe any U.S. military aid ought to be severely limited, strictly conditioned and regularly reviewed both for progress on negotiations to, end the war and for compliance on human rights issues," Archbishop Mahony told Foley. The U.S.-backed Salvadoran military has been at war with lef·tist rebels known as the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front. In November, the rebels launched the biggest offensive of the war in San Salvador but were driven back after a few weeks to the rural areas where most of the fighting has occurred.

Foes meet at cardinal's funeral ARMAGH, Northern Ireland (CNS) - Archfoes in the North~ ern Ireland conflict attended the funeral of Cardinal Tomas 0 Fiaich, a fervent Irish nationalist who longed for peace and a united Ireland. Leaders of the outlawed Irish R~publican Army, which is battling to oust Britain from Northern Ireland, sat near Irish Prime Minister Charles Haughey and Britain's Northern Ireland Minister Peter Brooke at the May 15 Mass. Northern Ireland police chief Hugh Annesley sat just yards from Sinn Fein President Garry Adams, who head's the political wing ofthe IRA. Cardinal 0 Fiaich, 66, died of a heart attack May 8 in Toulouse, France.. 'The Irish primate, who headed the Archdiocese of Armagh, had been on a pilgrimage to the French Marian shrine of Lourdes. Often a f~rthright critic o'f Britain's presence in Northern Ireland, he believed passionately in a united Ireland but abhorred the IRA's violent campaign for unity. Ireland was divided by Britain in 1922 after a bitter war of independence. "Cardinal 0 Fiaich was totally opposed to all use of .viole.nceyur: porting to advance natiOnalist atms, Bishop Cahal Daly of Down and Connor told 1,100 people crammed into St. Patrick's Cathedral.

M edjugorje's real! Dear Editor: After reading the article "Bishop denounces Medjugorje events" (Anchor, May 4), I felt obligated to write to you in defense of the six young men and women who have been and still are blessed with visits from our Blessed Mother. I visited Medjurgorje last June and I will testify that it is real! Never in my entire life have I known and felt such peace and serenity. I didn't see Our Lady, nor did I expect to, but you could feel her presence. You knew she was in the choir loft every evening at 6:40. And she appeared on the mountain called Apparition Hill twice at 10:30 p.m. and believe me (and'the other millions of people who have been there), this is real! The morning we left to come home, the sun was very bright and very hot. When we reached Mostar Airport it was unreal that Our Lady would give us such a sendoff. She let us experience the miracle ofthe sun spinning, changing colors and pulsating to and fro. And I assure you that my eyes were not damaged from this beautiful sendoff from this gracious Lady-our Queen of Peace. It is sad that there are so many who will try to destroy something good! Bishop lanic needs our prayers. How unhappy Our Lady must be. It is perfectly alright to be like St. Thomas-but not to try to destroy something that. is good, that is real! The love and the faith that I experienced in this little village were so beautiful, so indescribably beautiful! I pray that Bishop lanic will rid his heart of the jealousy that he feels for the Franciscans whom Our Lady must love very, very much (and who, I would wager, wants to love him like that if only he would let her). I am going back to Medjugorje in June and I will gladly bring any petitions with me for our Queen of Peace. Joan Provost North Attleboro

Seers sincere Dear Editor: Regarding the _alleged appearance of Our Blessed Mother in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, the arch~ bishop in Yugoslavia who does not agree with Bishop lanie's views said he found the seers sincere. Archbishop Hannan of New Orleans, La., retired in 1989, who met Marija, one of the seers during her visit to our country said "Her piety is like a deep, quiet strong river." In referring to his visit to Medjugorje, he said "I felt a real deep glow that this was an authentic message and that the messenger was worthy of the message." A Jewish couple, Bruce and Diana Bogin, from New Orleans, La., visited Medjugorje. Diana said, "The feeling of my being downstairs looking up to the choir loft, knowing Mary was talking to the children blew my mind. I saw the sun dance."

Special appeal Dear Editor: For the first time in 16 years the Cape Irish Children's Program has a serious cash shortage. The economy has caught up to our wonderful businesses, churches and people who have always been able to support us financially in the past: We have acquired all our host families with no problem. We have 40 children scheduled to come from Belfast for their six week "holiday" from the "troubles." They have already been matched up with their Cape families and have been notified. We have to ticket in less than two weeks and we do not have all the needed funds. We appeal to all of you who know or would like to know how our program benefits these children from Ireland. Please mail your check today to: The Cape Irish Children's Program, P.O. Box 46, Centerville, MA 0263~, and be assured it will be so greatly appreciated! Claire Watts' Program Coordinator Forestdale

In for trouble Dear Editor: .At the very start of Parade magazine's scandalous April 22 cover story ("The Question of Abortion"), it was clear that the child in the womb was in for some trouble. Statements like, "The court had chosen the middle ground" and "What does it mean to be human?" were signals that the unborn child would be given little respect. Herein lies the scandal. People who decry the deliberate dehuman~ ization of preborns know all too well the bias of the powerful national media. It was not surprising that Parade would draft Carl Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan to appear as neutral reporters. Carl Sagan is a wolf in sheep's clothing, a popular scientistphilosopher who commands respect. V nfortunately for preborns, the Sagans see little wrong with abortion on demand, because they are used to diluting scientific facts with philosophical speculation. They reveal a beautiful photo~ graph of a 16-week preborn but only admit that the child "seems quite human externally." They admit the "unmistakably human" characteristics of the first trimester preborn then ask, "When do we become human?" The clincher is their choice of a "developmental criterion," a stage of pregnancy at which we should consider protecting the unborn. Their choice? "Around the 30th week of pregnancy"! The Sagans

can "think." Hitler would have appreciated' Carl Sagan's book, "The Dragons of Eden" (subtitled Speculations on the Evoiution of Human Intel- . ligence), which first suggested this tidy guideline for the extermination of unwanted children. Sagan casually writes off the entire second trimester of pregnancy, while 100,000 unwanted babies die violently throughout this stage of pregnancy each year. Parade has stooped low with an obvious pro-choice ploy. Meanwhile the experts, the fetologists, are publishing medical evidence that a preborn can feel pain when most abortions are performed: before the end ofthe first trimester. In another novel, "Contact," Sagan speculates about life in other galaxies. But to speculate about the worth or suffering of the human lives lost by abortion? Even' his brilliant mind' does not prevent him from being inhuman. Steven Massoud , New Bedford

Kudos to ladies Dear Editor: Newspaper reports of this week revealed that two performers on the "Saturday Nigh't Live" TV program withdrew from the show because it was hosted by Andrew Dice Clay, who has been labeled as a man with the dirtiest mouth in 'television. The members of our organization tip our hats to cast member Nora Dunn, and musical guest Sinead O'Connor. They believed that they would be demeaned and' debased if they performed on the same show with the host. T.hese women's action is unusual as they probably forfeited their salaries for failing to perform on the show. Too many TV programs have been foisted on the unsuspecting public which are not fit for family viewing and it is hoped that the actions by Miss Dunn and Miss O'Connor will set a prime example for future performers who have a thorough dislike for filth and obscenity. Evidently the harsh criticism of Pope John Paul II fell on deaf ears ofthose whose only goal is to swell their bank accounts with the "dirty" dollars obtained thru shows like "Saturday Night Live!

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., May 18, 1990

Too old? What is the proper retirement age, anyway? Congress has faced up to the act that Americans are getting older, living healthier lives and becoming reluctant to abandon life-long careers because of a date on a calendar. In 1967 it barred employers from hiring or firing people because of their age and put the limits at 40 and 65. The ceiling was moved to 70 in 1978. In 1986, the limit was eliminated entirely for most jobs. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act has produced an explosion oflawsuits charging age discrimination in promotions and discharges. Age bias suits are the fastest growing area of legal action in the area of employment. Recognizing that wisdom comes with age, the nation and many states have no age limit for supreme court justices. Where state laws conflict, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has been joining cases seeking to throw out age limits. With no Age Discrimination Act in place for its religious leaders, the Church has a number of age ceilings in effect for cardinals, bishops and priests. Popes are exempt. Cardinals serve until death, but when they reach 80 they no longer can vote in a papal election. Bishops must submit their resignations to the Pope when they reach 75. , Retired bishops may attend meetings of the U.S. hierarchy where they can speak but not vote. Priestly retirement ages vary from see to see, but 70 is frequently the top. Much as I'd like to think so, age does not bring wisdom automatically, Author Harrison Salisbury,. 8 I himself, s~ys the decision to order the slaughter in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China, last June, was made by a "group of elderlies-all around 85." Not everything the Supreme Court does is wise, either. Witness Roe v. Wade, which launched a slaughter of the innocents 'unmatched in history. The Second Vatican Council is proof of the ~isdom of keeping popes in office until they die. Pope John XXIII was 76 when he came

to Peter's throne and 77- when he announced his plan to call all the world's bishops together. The Council ended its four years of meetings on Dec. 8,1965. You didn't have to be there to know that the church has never been the same. In my hands is a yellowed copy of the London Observer of June 23,1963. Headlined "The Revolution in Rome," it is the first of a series on how "Pope John outmaneuvered his opponents" to swing the church onto a new course. The story of how the elderly but vigorous Pope John and the even older Cardinal Augustin Bea overcame entrenched opposition to the council is told by Robert Blair Kaiser, Rome Time-Life writer. In typical Time style, Kaiser tells how John XXIII and Cardinal Bea, 80, teamed up to outflank senior members of the curia such as Cardinals Alfredo Ottaviani of the Holy Office and Domenico Tardini, Secretary of State. "The curia dragged its feet," Kaiser quoted one unidentified cardinal. "They couldn't see any need for a council. They thought , everything.was all right with the church. They had a closed corporation and they were satisfied with it.,,' The Observer story ends with Pope John asking for prayers on the eve of the council for the success of his secret mission to per- . suade Russian o.rthodox leaders to attend. He want.ed them to know, Kaiser said, that "Rome would be friends with Moscow." Twenty-five years and three popes later, the dream of the elderly Pope John XXIII came true last December when Soviet President Mikhail' Gorbachev came to the Vatican to pay his respects to John XXIII's successor, Pope John Paul II, leader of the world's Catholics.

SHORT TERM NURSING HOME PROTECTION It's important that the cost of a short stay in a nursing home doesn't wipe out a patient's ability to return home and support herself afterward. That's why the first three months in a nursing home are fully covered for all Americans whose medical condition requires it, with a small co-payment for those who can afford it

Guarantee that you can afford a long stay in a nursing home without surrendering all of your income and assets. Your home, a portion of your income, and $30,000 in assets ($60,000 for couples) would be protected. People with higher income or more assets would be encouraged to buy private insurance to supplement this protection, and the federal government would increase protections against insurance frauds.

FAMILY SAVINGS Because your parents and grandparents will have adequate protection, families will no longer have to go into debt to help pay for long term care. With nursing homes now averaging $30,000 a year-and rising rapidly-that could save the family of an Alzheimer's victim more than $100,000.

It's Older Americans Month The 25th Anniversary of the Older Americans Act is the focus of this year's celebration of Older Americans Month, celebrated in May. ' The Administration on Aging (AoA) set this year's theme as "Celebrate America's Coming of Age. The Older Americans Act 1965-1990. Silver Anniversay 25 years of Achievement." The month-long observance is highlighting the accomplishments of the Act during this period. The Older Americans Act was passed on July 14, 1965, and was design~d to improve the lives of the nation's elderly population through grants to develop new programs or improve existing ones. A new agency, the Administration on Aging, was set up within the Department of Health and Human

SALUTING SENIORS

Services to plan and develop the programs and policies to carry out that purpose. Since then, a variety of new programs and services was established to provide more assistance in meeting the needs of elderly citizens. As in past years, the preSident has, by proclamation, dedicated the month to national recognition of our older citizens. As one of the highlights of the month, the Administration on Aging will present awards to service providers and community groups throughout the nation for the excellent service they have given to the elderly. Many Social Security offices will participate in the activities. Individuals and organizations interested in the activities planned for their area should contact their State or Area' Agency on Aging. The number can be found in the government listing of the telephone book.

Cambodia observes 'Easter first time in 15 years VATICAN CITY (CNS) - The tiny Catholic Church in Cambodia celebrated Easter publicly for the first time in 15 years, a "historic event" that bodes well for religious freedom in the Southeast Asian country, said a Church official. Bishop Yves Ramousse, director of pastoral programs for Cambodians worldwide, said the Cambodian government "has in fact recogl)ized freedom of worship for the Catholic Church and for Chris-. tian churches in general.'~ "For churches in Cambodia, we can speak of a real resurrection," he said, in a post-Easter interview with Vatican Radio. He said Cambodian officials allowed public celebration of Easter Mass in Phnom Penh, the capital, an event attended by numerous government authorities and about 1,500 faithful. The Mass was amply covered on state radio and television, Bishop Ramousse said. "For Catholics, this was a historic event, because for 15 years the church could not publicly celebrate liturgical rites," he said. In recent months, the govern.ment has allowed Catholics to

meet in small groups and has proposed an ecumenical worship center for Christians. Bishop Ramousse was in Rome for a meeting of church aid organizations on the situation in Cambodia, where civil war has left millions of people homeless or divided from their families. The government's recent opening toward Christian churches, the bishop said, will make Catholics around the world "more willing to help this population, which is extremely poor and in absolute need of help." Cambodia's government has been fighting several guerrilla groups for more than a decade. The largest opposition army is the Khmer Rouge, which has the support of Chinll. In April, 35 international organizations, including the Maryknoll Mission Society, appealed for increased humanitarian aid to Cambodia. They also called for international pressure to stop the forced â&#x20AC;˘ migration of tens of thousands of Cambodians by Khmer Rouge forces to the malaria-infested western part of the country.

ARCHBISHOP Laghi makes a point during an interview. (eNS photo)

Pope's man in U .8. recalls years here WASHINGTON (CNS) - A key measure of a papal representative's impact on the church in the country where he serves is the number ofepiscopal appointments made under him. ' Archbishop Pio Laghi, 67, who returns to Rome today, said May 1 that ofthe nation's 3OG-plus active bishops, 125 were appointed under him and roughly 100 others were, as he termed it, "touched," that is, transferred or promoted. In addition, 13 new Latin-rite dioceses and five new Eastern-rite' jurisdictions were formed during that time, said the archbishop, who has spent nine years and four months in Washington, first as apostolic delegate and later as papal pronuncio. The Vatican representative in a country does not make initial nominations for new bishops. These come mainly from bishops' meetings in countries concerned. The Vatican's Congregation for Bishops - or, for Eastern rites, the Congregation for Eastern-rite Churches - oversees the final selection process, and the appointment itself rests with the pope. But in between, it is the Vatican representa'tive within the country who reviews nominees, researches their background and qualifications, gathers character references and finally passes names on to the Vatican with his recommendations. At the end of a May 1 interview at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, Archbishop Laghi showed Catholic News Service a two-inchthick folder of materials which he said was documentation on just one candidate. He condenses such information into a few paragraphs in Italian for the Congregation for Bishops. ' His biggest year for appointments was 1983, when three new

ONL YFULL·lINE RELIGIOUS GIFT STORE ON THE CAPE

By Linda Rome To all 16-year-olds: As you probably noticed, the day you got a driver's license was a traumatic moment for your parents. Perhaps it was the clenched knuckles, the compressed lips or the constant jabbing of their right foot at an imaginary brake as you drove home triumphantly that gave them away. Or maybe it was the endless list of conditions they' laid down before saying the magic words. "Yes, you may have the car." Even . if your parents are eminently reasonable, you've probably noticed a change. Actually they're scared. They've crossed a new parenting threshold and they don't like it. You have more freedom than you've ever had; freedom to drink and drive, to pick up hitchhikers, to sp~ed, to crumple a stranger's fender, to become an instant statistic when a drunk driver crosses the 'yellow line and removes you from the face of the earth. Parents worry about those things. Especially the last one. Their insurance rates go up and they know the reason. Insurance companies lose money on teenage drivers, especially boys. Your fa;ther or mother needs a car to get to

work so that there will be a paycheck to pay for food, a roof, college and even the car. And what if the car breaks down - in the worst part of town? And you don't have any money and ... Parents can be very creative worriers. While walking the dog (after all, you have the car), they ponder these things. And when they congregate they compare notes. And often their concerns reflect their fears. "My daughter thinks gas is produced in the tank by turning the key. I ran out of gas on my way to work this morning - for the third time.", "I called the people she babysat for - I felt like a fool calling at I a.m. - b'ut she left there at 10 o'clock. It turns out she drove over to her best friend's and forgot to leave me a note. I'd just about started calling the hospitals.... So the next time you ask for the keys to the car, prepare your own mental checklist for parents: I. Take the time to reassure them verbally, accepting their concerns as real to them. 2. Drive carefully, remembering it is by your actions that your words are judged.

Chinese labor camp priest dead at 90 HONG KONG (CNS) - Divine Word Father Philip Wang Ziyang, 90, appointed vicar general of China's Yanggu Diocese about 1949, has died in a labor camp in Shandong province. He had been jailed since the 1950s. Last year, Asian church news sources said Father Wang was jailed for life in the 1950s and had. suffered corporal punishment. A Catholic inmate of the same camp said he saw the priest but was unable to talk to him because both were under close surveillance. He said he noticed Father Wang murmuring when he was alone and

believed the priest was saying Mass. The fellow inmate said Father Wang secretly prepared bread and wine, exchanging other food for grapes to make wine and obtaining hosts from visiting nuns..

The Servant "He in truth desires to imitate God who administers his high position with a view to the benefit of others, and is not elated' with his own praises; when placed above others, he desires to serve, and not to rule over them." '- Pope Saint Gregory I

New Films "Chattahoochee" (Hemdale): Dark, tedious fact-based account of a Korean War' hero (Gary Oldman) who in the mid-'50s was sent to Chattahoochee, a degrading mental institution. With his sister's help, he eventually alerts government officials to the guards' brutalization of inmates and sparks enactment of laws for improved treatment of the mentally ill nationwide. Mick Jackson's unimaginative direction dilutes the power of the hero's gradual transforma': tion from a despairing victim of war into a mature person committed to social justice. Oldman gives a fine performance supported by Dennis Hopper as a fellow inmate, Frances McDormand as a petulant wife and Pamela Reed as his sister. Graphic scenes of brutality, shower-room nudity, implied masturbation and locker-room language. A4, R "Who Shot Patakango?" (Castle' Hill).: Bouncy, nostalgiadrenched look at life in a Brooklyn vocational high school in 1957 borrows freely from "West Side Story" with a working-class youth falling for an affluent, suburban girl while trying to prevent an outside gang from inciting violence at his interracial school. Filmmakers Robert and Halle Brooks convey the vitality and innocence of the era but rely on too many cutesy scenes, calculated at inducing pat emotional responses. Some petty thievery played for laughs, sporadic minor violence and a sexually ambiguous scene. A3 "Monsieur Hire" (Orion Classics): Intriguing psychological puzzler about a pathetic loner (Michel Blanc) who spends his nights spying on a young woman (Sandrine Bonnaire) in an apartment across the way.
