Catholic Press True Apostolate NEW YORK (NC)-The Cathalic press is "a true apostolate in the fullest sense of that ancient, much-abused word," outgoing president John F. Fink told the members of the Catholic Press Association (CPA) here. Addressing the CPA at the opening session of its four-day convention at the Roosevelt Hotel, Fink said, "The Catholic Pre&s in the United States is tremendously important and is performing magnificently in its service for the Church." He cited especially extensive education efforts by Catholic newspapers and magazines in three areas: -Publicizing the National Catechetical Directory, a guide for .religious education in this country which is currently undergoing a nationwide consultation; -Informing Catholics of the issues and principles involved in abortion; Tum to Page Four

Hope in the Future Father Peter's references to the future, while a new approach for many of those attending the conferences, were well clarified by his many references and illustrations.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur., May 22, 1975

Continued from Page One -Dealing with the worldwide food crisis, in which "our Catholic publications were telling their readers about the plight of the people in the Third World countries long before secular media discovered the problem." Finances Critical Fink noted that even with improved business practices many Catholic publications are in increasingly serious financial condition because of rapidly rising costs. . In a separate report on postage increases, the outgoing president cited the extensive lobbying effort that the CPA has engaged in to reduce or slow down the multi-million dollar postage increases that are putting severe financial pressures on nonprofit publications. He pointed out that the CPA was instrumental in slowing down to 16 years the original 10year phase-in period for postal increases to non-profit publications. Although the slow-down gives only temporary relief, he said it is significant because that one .change has meant a saving for the Catholic Press "estimated at about $1.5 million this year alone." Fink also noted that this year's convention is focusing strongly on theological issues fating Catholic editors. He pointed out that a paper on theology in the Catholic press, which has been developed by a committee of the OPA and was to be discussed during the convention, "will be an important statement of Catholic editors when it is completed."

Modern Man and Joy Pope Paul has issued to the world a remarkable apostolic exhortation. He says that he considered himself inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak about Christian joy in this Holy Year dedicated to renewal and reconciliation. The Pope writes that "technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy. For joy comes from another source. It is spiritual. Money, comfort, hygiene and material security are often not lacking, and yet boredom, depression and sadness unhappily remain the lot of many. These feelings sometimes go as far as anguish and despair." The Pope went on to point out that the lack of joy was "perhaps a matter of loneliness, of an unsatisfied thirst for love and for somebody's presence of an ill-defined emptiness. The Pope said that man's desire for fulfillment and happiness was natural and a patient effort is needed to teach people once more how to savor in a simple way "the many human joys that the creator places in our path: the elating joy of existence arid of life; the joy of chaste and sanctified love; the peaceful joy of nature and silence; the sometimes austere joy of duty performed; the transparent joy of purity, service and sharing; the demanding joy of sacrifice." The current suffering in the world, he said, is perhaps not deeper than the miseries of the past but it has taken on a worldwide dimension and is better known because reported by the mass media. Turning to what he described as a great confusion among youth Pope Paul pointed out that this "partly betrays a senile and out-of-date aspect of a commercial. Hedonistic and materialistic civilization that is still trying to present itself as the gateway to the future." . The exhortation shows that the Pope has caught well the spirit of the times, the great desire for happiness and the failure of material things to bring this happiness; the desire for a high level of living that sophisticated t.echnology can bring and the resultant lack of satisfaction in the 'standard that caters to the thirst for pleasure but leaves unsatisfied the desire for fulfillment and happiness. He has seen in the rebellious posture 'of many young people their awareness that material things cannot be equate dwith happiness. The "hippie life-style" of many of the young is an attempt to recapture the wholesomeness and joy of a Francis of Assisi without understanding the underlying thrust and motivation of Francis' life and the God-given means to attain simplicity of life. Parents who have worked hard to rise above a previous depression level of life would do well to discover within themselves why this has not given them the happiness they strive for. And they would do well to try to understand why their children reproach them for putting an emphasis on things rather than on values that lead to joy and peace and serenity and fulfillment. There is no avoiding the fact that man's search is for happiness. And the ultimate happiness is God, his Creator and beginning and end. St. Augustine learned this centuries ago after having tried much that the world had to offer: "You have made us for Yourself, 0 Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You." The Pope's exhortation - which is entitled "Rejoice in the Lord" - is a most timely address to modern man, recognizing in him the age-old longings for joy and fulfillment to which God has given and continues to give the answers.

Signs of the Times Seemingly, there is nothing so out of place in 1975 than the liberalism of the sixties. As one reporter remarked, "Where have all the Gene McCarthies gone?" The campuses are relatively quiet as they seek new issues, the emotional causes seem to be more localized rather than national- that the gravy train of free ized and the undercurrents spending has come to an abrupt end. Their dollars have disapof change have found more peared,. their jobs have been ter-

tranquil waters. Issues are scarce and l~aders few. There is a change in the air, for better or worse, depending on one's personal viewpoint.

Of course the first wind that has swept across the nation 'is to be found in breezes of a neo,conservative and isolation men· tality. These two impulses have their roots not only in the financial woes of the current recession but also in the termination of the Vietnam war and its conquences. Many Americans have realized in the past few years

minated and the cream puff life has turned sour. In such a recession atmosphere, a tightness and inwardness develops. People become more cautious, they watch every doUar and their concerns turn inward to the basics of personal survival. Thus the practitioners Of.a conservative philosophy find a fertile field to harvest. As people are forced to face basic fundamentals in their economic subsistence, they will al~o tend to seek the same mental support in their political expressions.

Isolation and Insulation This expression will find further support in the creeping isolation that is beginning to find support in many areas of the nation.

LAFAYETTE (NC)-A group of bishops and priests from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama decided ,here to conduct an evaluation of how well bishops and priests are doing their jObS. The decision came at a recent meeting of the New Orlean~ Provincial Conference (NOPC). which is composed of bishops and representatives of priest,;' councils from the seven diocese:> of the province of New Orleans. The group of bishops and priests agreed to have clergy evaluation as part of their next semi-annual meeting, Oct. 28-29 in New Orleans. The NOPC also agreed on a wide-ranging list of recommendations concerning ,the National Catechetical Directory (NCD). The nine bishops in attendance and nearly two dozen representatives of priests' councils, in a consensus recommendation, said they recognized that the NCD is not intended to be a catechism but urgei that it include some basic 'bctrina: material. "Th~ documel't mur,t c.'1ntain content i" h~Jp the teaeher un· derstar.d and inspire a real l'~ sponse to God in faith," the group agreed. Another of the NOPC's 21 recommendations was: "The norm is adult faith. Appeal to adult catechesis." The bishops and priests also said the directory should "en· courage a variety of approaches and catechetical materials tv facilitate the pursuit of Christian maturity through pluralism."

Warm, Fritendly Jesus' Attitude to Wom,en When Pope Paul recently spoke about the priesthood being only for men he said it was because Christ's behavior toward women cannot be changed. The primary function of a priest, according to Vatican II, is proclaiming to all the Gospel of God, the Good . News that Jesus His time. The Jewish doctors of the Law seldom spoke to womChrist, the Son of God, came en, even their wives, in public. and redeemed man. Jesus not only spoke to this

On that occasion the prophetess, Anna, gave praise to the Lord and spoke of Him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem. When Jesus went through cities and villages preaching, Luke tells us Jesus was accompanied by the twelve and some women. They were Mary Magdalen, Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Susanna, "and many others." Luke tells us that Jesus not only sent forth the twelve to preach but because the harvest was abundant and the laborers few He sent forth seventy other disciples also appointed to announce the Good News. Luke does not say they were all men. Jesus' Attitude There is no story in the Gospels which better illustrates Jesus' attitude toward women proclaiming the Good News than John's narrative about the woman at the well. Jesus shocked his disciples by the very fact He spoke to her. In speaking to her, Jesus was breaking with the custom of

woman, whom He knew to be living in sin, but He revealed to her that He was the Saviour. Then she went into the city to tell of the Lord's coming. The gospel tells us that many from that city believed in Him because of the woman's testimony. The epic event in Jesus' whole life was the resurrection. Once again He selected a woman to bring this great Good News to the disciples and to the world. It was Mary Magdalen. Jesus behavior toward women, . as it is described in scripture, is most relaxed, warm, and friendly. When I read of His visits with Martha and Mary, I get the definite impression that His accepting the friendship of these women made His apostle uptight. Unfortunately, what has come down to us through the centu. ries has not been Jesus' attitude toward women. Instead we have reinforced over the years the apostles' uptightness. Customs of Times The roots of the apostles' altitude toward women, like the roots of the priesthood itself, lay in the customs of their time. It's clear to me that as far as the treatment of women is concerned, Jesus intended to break with these customs. There were other customs He intended to break. He intended to replace fear with love, and war with peace. In its first two thousand years, His Church has been unsuccessful in carrying. out His intention in these matters.

Pope Paul Welcomes Catholic Journalists VATICAN CIlY (NC)-'Pope Paul VI, aodressing a group of American Catholic journalists reo turning from a tour of the Middle East, praised them for their concern about the Holy Land and encouraged them to alert public opinion to Mideast problems and their "global effects." Pope Paul singled out the journalists during his weekly general audience. He also gave special greetings to the council of the International Catholic Union of the Press (UCIP), which was meeting in Rome. The Pope told the American journalists completing a tour of the Mideast arra,nged by the Pontif:ica1 Mission for Pales-tine: "We .are pleased that you have shown deep interest in the great questions affecting this entire region and all its peoples and that it is your proposal to make known, for the benefit of all, the needs that you have witnessed and to which you can now so effectively attest. "We are likewise pleased to Imow of your special solicitude for the Holy Land: her Christian communities 路and her Holy Places."

Solemn Engagement CeremonyRecognizes Couple Preparing for Christian Marriage The seldom-seen Solemn Engagement, Ceremony was held at Holy Name Church, Fall River, for Miss Marilyn Shaker, a parish Confraternity of Christian Doctrine instructor for the past seven years, and John Betley, her fiance. The ceremony used by Rev. Hugh J. Munro, assistant pastor of Holy Name, follows, with the thought that it may serve as a guide to other young couples to commit their lives to each other: Engagement Ceremony The grace and peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Introduction Today, the Christian view of the dignity of sex and the Christian values of faithfulness, love, and self-sacrifiice are being challenged. At the some time there are many men and women who recognize God-given values and are seeking a solid basis for their lives together. By, reviving the custom of a religious ceremony at the time of engagement, the young couple is provided with an occaSJion for prayer and for appealing to God for His guidance as they prepal:'e to commit their lives to one another. The young couple are reminded that life will be successful and meaningful by following the Gospel of Jesus Christ as it is expressed within His Church. The. couple will be aware that they are preparing for the Sacrament of Matrimony, a vocation within the Church and a path leading to mutual路 sanctification. Every Sacrament demands preparation and this Religious Engagement service will help this future bride and groom prepare to receive the grace of the Sacrament more fully. So now, let us kneel and pray: Our Father in Heaven has given us our lives, He has given us a new life as His sons and daughters, the brothers and sisters of His Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, loving as God loves us is the way to the fulness of life. Because you believe that your lives are being brought together by God, listen now to His message shared with us thru the Scriptures. May your Engagement be always open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, 'and may the Father grant the day when you two shall become one in the love given by Jesus Christ. ' Scripture Readings (a) John 15,4/12 (b) Ephesians 6, 10/17 A brief homily follows the readings. Questioning Jesus said, "Love one another, as I love you." To do this more and more fully is the purpose of all Christian life. Because you believe that God is calling you to advance in the virtue of Christian love by loving each other and the children that God may entrust to you, your Engagement is both a re-commitment to follow Jesus ChI"ist within His Church and a prayer to our Father in Heaven for His grace during the days to come. And so I ask you: a) Do you believe that the providence of God is leading

Engagement The couple express their engagement by each lighting a candle from the Easter candle, the symbol of the sacrificed and risen Christ, give the lighted candles to one another, and then place their candles on the altar. The engagement ring is now blessed and given to the future bride by her fiance.

We ask your blessing and guidance for (names) who have come before you and your Church. May their engagement be lived in reverence toward you and toward your will, so that they may experience the peace of your Son, now and 'forever and ever. Amen Blessing May almighty God bless you with His love, and give you an awareness of His saving wisdom. Amen May God enable you to live your faith and persevere in works of holiness. Amen May God direct your steps to Him, and show: you how to walk in charity and peace. Amen And may the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, and the Son, + and the Holy Spirit, come upon you and remain with you forever. Amen At the end of the ceremony those in attendance are invited to express good wishes and congratulations to the newly engaged couple.

Grooms 'C,o,uld Steal Show At Today's Wec!di,ngs

When we are very young we dress our dolls up as brides and dream of what we will wear when that exciting day arrives. During our teenage years we become more practical in our views of what we would younger looking, both in appearance and dress.

dream that we had with our dolls because of the pressures of actual living, we don't really become involved again, except as spectators, until our own children become of marriageable age. All of this wedding philosophy has come about because I have just returned from a very lovely wedding of a daughter of dear friends. The bride was as exquisite as those of my early daydreams. Her gown was simple but lovely and her very sweet face was framed by a hood of the same material ending in a train. Ever since the days of Mary women have looked lovely with their faces framed by soft folds of material and many bridal designers have discovered that this type of headpiece is both flattering and dramatic. Gown a Setting Brides this season seem to echo the keynote of simplicity, with the young girl herself the focal point rather than the dress. Most girls of "marrying age" are so fresh and lovely looking on their own that their gowns should reflect this by being merely a setting for their beauty as was the gown I viewed today. While brides are tending toward the simple and elegant, the groom and his attendants are becoming more colorful. For the conservative rna-Ie a pastel ruffled shirt may be the only concession. However, for the more daring, there are no limits'. Top hat, tails, and powder blue cutaway could make the groom and his men the fashion show of the day, or if blue isn't your color try pure white, or even mint green. As for the mother of the bride, she is getting younger and

Hits Government1s Abortion Position TORONTO (NC)-A Catholic member of the Canadian Parliament has attacked. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government for "giving tacit acceptance to social abortion." Such an expansion of grounds for abortion to include economic and social considerations "is not what Parliament intended when the Criminal Code was amended in 1969," said Douglas Roche, a Progressive Conservative member of parliament from Edmonton, Alberta. In an article in the Catholic Register, a weekly newspaper published here, Roche said Canada's Criminal Code permits a committee on therapeutic abortion when continuation of a pregnancy "would be likely to endanger" the "life or health" of the mother.

Roche, former editor of the Rep0T!er, Western Catholic wrote: "Since that law went into effect abortions quadrupled from 1974 to 1973 to 4'3,201 and they are now 12"6 per cent of live births in Canada. "This alarming rate of increase is most noticeable in the three wealthiest provinces of Brit-ish Columbia (where the abortion rate is 26.7 per cent of live births), Ontario (18.3 per cent) and Alberta (13.8 per cent). "These figures support the argument that abortions are being permitted for reasons far beyond hea'Uh; to argue otherwise is to suggest that it is more dangerous to a mother's health to be pregitant in a rich, instead of a poor, province."

Roche noted that Canadian Justice Minister Otto Lang "is on record as having warn~ provincial aHorney~-general (who administer the Criminal Code) that social and economic considerations are not to be taken into account in determining the permissibility of abortion." Roche then pointed out that Dr. Bette Stephenson, president of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA); and others have attacked Lang for being too strict and have argued that "the World Health Organization definition of health 'as a state of complete physica.), mental and social well-.being'?" Roche then noted that Trudeau told the CMA in a letter that hospital abortion committees should have "sufficient lattitude."

Archbishop Hannan said that the rally "will give Catholics throughout the archdiocese an opportunity to come together in a unified fashion to observe the Holy Year theme of Reconciliation and Renewal. .At the same time they will also have the opportunity to observe r. beautiful pageant, to celebrate the Eucharist together with their brothers and sisters in Christ, and to listen to a message from one of the world's most captivity speakers."

Regrets John XXIII Parish 'Decision to Leave Church

At a time when so many sad events are happening in the Church, the departure of the John XXIII Community in Oklahoma City may seem to be a relatively minor incident. It was only 60 families, more or less.

Speaking in connection with the Hospital Week theme of "A Constant Concern for a Healthy Community;" Sister Jean Marie, administrator, noted that current plans to replace the old section of the hospital with a new central tower "would enable us to not only continually upgrade our inpatient care but also enable us to expand and improve the services we offer our outpatients."

Propose Canned Beef To Feed Starving DENVER (NC)--The American National Cattlemen's Associa· tion (ANCA) has urged Catholic leaders to promote the canning and distribution of beef as a means of feeding the starving without depleting U. S. grain supplies. In a letter to three Catholic officials, Gordon Van Vleck, ANCA president, said: "Cattlemen are greatly concerned with the consequences of 'beefless days,' "because they "feel an obligation to the world's needy" -and be<:ause "the popular cry for beefless days could s'eriously hurt our d<Jmestic industry-an industry already in dire economic straits due to the current oversupply .of beef." Van Vleck pointed out that the United States has in the past aided. the hungry of the world by providing -large quantities of food grain. "Over the past 20 years, the federal government alone has provided more than $25 billion in food aid to the needy," he said, adding that now grain is in short suppty.

The ruling dismissed action brought initially by the Laborers International Union 'of North America through its AFL-CIO Local 1058, petitioning the NLRB to assert its jurisdiction over operation of the Erie diocesan cemeteries and cemetery em· ployes. In the ruling, the NLRB denied the petition, concluding that the cemeteries are "a non-profit religiously oriented institution, the activities of which are basically non·commercial in nature .and integrally connected with the religious activities of that institution. Henry Shore, NLRB Region Six director, ruled that "it would not effectuate the policies of the (National Labor Relations) Act for the board to assert jurisdiction over the cemeteries."

KNOW YOUR FAITH Being Single

'Being single-is it a vocation or a deprivation? There are, of course, those who are celibate by vow because they are members of a religous community, or l>ecause they have dedicated themselves to a task that clearly requires the renunciation of marita,1 and parental relation· ships, or because they are required to be cel'ibate as members of the Latin Rite priesthood. But the question arises poignantly for those who are single outside of these situations.

By MONIKA K. HELLWIG

In a sense, being single can not be a vocation. The word denotes something negative, the absence of marital relationship. Unrelatedness in itself is not a call from God. However, while the word "single" denotes unre· latedness, the single person is not, of course, unrelated to 'Others except in terms of the marital relationship. Positively, such a person is defined in each case by a unique pattern of relationships, and it is these that constitute this person's voca-

tion-that is ,the unique call that comes to the person concerned from God. My vocation is the point at which the needs around me and my ability to respond to them, meet. Clearly, that means in practice those needs that I recognize ·and that ability that I acknowledge and am willing to appropriate. Viewed in this way, being a mature single person offers a very extraordinary range for the intersection of need and abiHty to respond to the need. Concerned People Many of my single friends did not begin by dedicating their lives to people or causes in radical ways and therefore foregoing marriage. For one reason or another they were single, though already mature in age and personal development, when some exceptional need crossed their paths-the plight of the poor, urgent needs of refugees, .needs for low income housing, needs of outcasts of society, of prisoners in jail, of conscientious objectors, of unwed mothers, of the aged, of shut-ins in the area, technical .needs in depressed or underdeveloped areas, and so forth. When such a need presents itself to the married person, he may respond with money, with some spare time, with sympathy and with good wishes. He or she is seldom able to leave everything else aside and follow Turn to Page Fourteen

-Single Life Has Meaning BY MARY MAHER

We, who have the Western mind-set deeply imbedded in our consciousness are prone to find it easier to live out of an "either/or" mentality than a "both/and" mentality. This allows us the luxury of neat opposites that we fiind comforting: black versus white issues; worn· en's liberation or men's liberation, church or state, pain or pleasure. Many realities that we call "opposites" are not so but are complementary units of one whole view. Such is the. case of vieWing single life as an opposite style from married life. When so done it carries the erroneous connotations of opposites like "unfulfilled, fulfilled" or "abnormal, normal."· We have long outgrown (hopefUlly!) the idea that single life is the residue which one does not choose but .wh'ich is thrust upon him by virtue of not embracing celibacy or marriage. It is no longer the time for Victorian niceties such as that. Single life may be as normal, fulfilled as any life style. It simply differs in its way of finding meaning. Complementary

"I am,' I said; No one's there And no one heard at aU, Not even the chair I am, ,I cr,ied; I am, said I." Other single people are living very fully, growing, aware that aloneness is a condition each man must sooner or later face if he is to know depth of existence, not simply breadth. But the very same could be said of married persons. Some persons just embrace Hfe at greater cost, greater risk, greater involvement than others. It is mysterious that a Camus lived in his small dwelling indeed near so much French non-1ife. All life seeks union. Auguste Rodin's marvelous work, "The Hand of God," shows man and woman in God's hand, actually clay of the hand in the fmms of reaching out towards each other, struggling to reach union in the hand. Man cannot live very fully without intimacy; it is bread of his being.· Indeed Genesis says, "It is not good for man (Adam) to be alone." Undoubtedly that text holds deep masculine: feminine union connotations. But it does go beyond this interpretation, too. It reaches out Turn'to'Page Fourteen

Where Spiritualism Grows BY KATI RITCHIE Several months ago when I was approached about wri,ting this article on the "single state," I thought for a moment and asked, "What, exactly, do you want me to write about?" The answer was, "That's up to you. Just consider ·the possibility for a while and let us know whether you want to do It or not." At first, I wondered what I had to write about-I haven't any unusual problems or frustrations-then I began to think about my life and how it has evolved. And I started asking myself, "Why are you saNsfied?" Then I realized that.i wasn't alw.ays this happy. Several years ago when I joined the Catholic Bulletin in St. Paul, Minn., they told me to "go find out something about the Catholic Pentecostals so someone can answer all these questions." I wasn't enthusiastic about the assignment. But what could I do? I had avo'ided Mass and the sacraments for a few years. I felt the Church was a political body. It lacked democracy. Yes, I was a radkal. So going to a prayer meeting was my idea of real trial.

SELFLESSNESS: "All of our gifts-spiritual and material-belong to the \yhole household. The selfishness which can be a part of being single is disappearing ..." In a Catholic Pentecostal household' in St. Paul, Minn., Betsy Becker takes time to show Jeremy Langevin how a typewriter works. NC Photo. have committed our lives to Him and to each other. Sharing in Little Ways We are learning to a'ccept each other just as we are. Imperfect and complete but infinitely lovable because Jesus died so we could have His life. Happy? Yes. Free of pain? No. H sometimes hurts to begin to ,love and to be loved, to accept what is the best way for the household. It's often painful but rewarding to begin to see myself as others see me, and as God sees me.

Change of Outlook But that prayer, meeting turned out to be something specialthere was something there. So I continued going long after my assignment was finished. And I found God and lost my journalistic cynicism. One of the first things I discovered was Jesus' existence and His love for me. Suddenly the Catholic Church, which I had been born into but had gradually gotten tired of, came reid. I discovered that God was truly God and He had a perfect right to te11 me what to do. Mass and the sacraments became a source of real joy to me with a real hunger for Jesus and His love. Jesus' healing power in confession came to me through an understanding confessor. Gradually, I learned to forgive. I learned to accept the fact that people were not perfect-myself induded. When I stoppeq judgling people, there was a decided improvement in my outlook on life. This was reflected in my work as well. My photographs literally mirrored my change of heart. . Because I was a photographer, I was given the opportunity to go to Israel. This reinforced my new religious experience. Being ,in the land' where Christianity began gave me more insight. After the Israeli experience, it was a natural step to join a Christian household. I live in a Catholic charismaNcs home - a home where people dare to live as the early Christians did in the Acts of the Apostles. There are 14 of us. Our household is modelled on the Christian family headed by a married couple. ~esus is Lord in our house. We

Single Life Has Meaning Continued from Page T1}irteen to say that man is' not truly man alone. He is man when he is with others, even when he is alone. "Single life" is almost an impossibility other than for Melville's "isolato." Men and women who are by reason of their choice, living alone are not necessarily alone. They may share life deeply. They may not. Whatever the style of life one consents to or embraces, it is first a question of how they view Hfe. Limited Freedom It is too romantic by far to believe that most me'1 who live, live fully. It is equally romantic to· believe that man chooses his life situation In many ".es, However Promethean ~ach of us may think we are, the truth always comes back to us. We are limited 'in our freedom to live fully as we wish. Bernard Lonergan heips us to understand this. He points out that we have an essential freedom which is man's basic abi\lity to choose from among various courses of action. A bUnd has choice. But effective freedom is the options we can choose. That same blind man cannot walk as freely as a sighted man. Our family background; our heritage, economic, social or rel1igious. and our genetic make-up both limit our situat·ion and extend it. Some single persons may not choose singlesness just as some married persons grow out of choosing marriage. Gospel Meaning Who we are all becoming is a mystery whether we have chosen to accept or embrace the single Iiife, the married life, divorced life, cel'ibacy.

BE CONCERNED: "Being single-is it a vocation or a deprivation?" Alone, a woman casts a shadow as she walks home by herself from the grocery store. NC Photo.

Being Single Continued from Page Thirteen Christ calling in that special need. Smgle persons are quite freqU'ently able and willing to do this. Even when they can not leave everything behind and give themselves completely to such a tall, they often find that their time outside their work is at their own disposal in a total way such as is seldom true for married persons. It is not by aocident that it is single women and widows who have made many of the breakthroughs in western society concerning the care of the sick and aged and orphans and 'in the education of children. Always Exciting Reflecting upon my own life, I have become aware of singleness as freedom to relate to those who do not have a biological 'claim. I am the single parent of two adopted chtildren. About five years ago I read an appeal :in a Sunday paper, thought it over for the rest of that day and telephoned the agency on Monday morning, my decision made. I had simply never thought about adopting until about noon on Sunday. 'Being single, in my case, made the decision-making process very simple. There were, of course" many unknowns in the decision but I realized that the passage of time would leave them just as unknown unless and until I made the commitment. Having heen a social worker until I' became a theologian, I also had great confidence that the cumula,tive experience of the agency would provide a better basis for judging the feasibility of adoptions in my life that my own assessment. By Sunday evening, I had firmly decided to go through with the adoptions if the agency recommended them. I have never regretted it. Children seem to validate themselves, and once they are there they are intrinsIcally unregrettable. . I am frequently asked what .it is like to be a single parent of young children, who must also work full time and who is called upon to write and lecture as well. It is exhausting. It is very enjoyable and stumulating. I,t calls for some very ruthless choices that bother

one's' friends and assooiates. It raises eyebrows. It means postponement of some other things long planned in one's life. It makes unexpected inroads into one's budget. I.t opens up many more outside relationships than one person can possibly handle. It is never, simply never boring.

Appeal For No Return to Pa'st ARMAGH (NC) - Cardinal William Conway of Armagh and nine bishops of the Armagh Church province have appealed to Northern Irish Protestants not to seek the restoration of the political system that discriminated against Catholics for over 50 years. In a statement issued here less than three weeks before the May 1 elections 'of delegates to a constitutional convention that is to deliberate on the future of Northern Ireland, the bishops said: "The bleakness of the outlook on the political front . . . gives rise to anxiety. Some people are clearly aspiring to that form of political arrangement which previously produced injustice on' a massive scale against the minority community." The statement continued: "We beg these people to look at the facts, to be realistic, and to realize that a happy and reconciled community will be impossible to achieve if there is to be a return to the system of former days. The return to such a system would mean sowing the seeds of an unending period of tension and discontent."

Continued from Page Thirteen and the lives of those we came in contaot with. We share, too, the opportunities we missed to love and serve so that we may grow and become aware of lost opportunities. As we grow in love and trust, privacy isn't a problem. I only needed ,it when I had a lot of things I wanted ,to hide from others. Once I committed my life in the light of Jesus with my brothers and sisters, the Lord gave me the strength. As every family does', we disagree over telephones, dishwashers, etc., hut we have agreed to submit to our household heads, and our community continues to pray, to love and forgive and to work out problems. Selflessness AH of our gifts-spiritual and material-belong to the whole household. The selfishness which can be a part of being single is disappearing from my life. My car isn't mine when someone else needs it. I don't need to buy a Hasselhlad camera when others need that $1,400 for a down payment on a house. I can't always read a book when six-year-old Chrissy wan.ts to make doH clothes with me. I find the strength to live an intensely Christian life only because I also live and pray with God daily, praising Him, thanking Him, being conscious of His presence, reading His Word in Scripture. This love of God that I live in daily us so mysterious and so humbling. What could I possibly do to deserve such love -nothing Lt'5 God's gift. Praise the Lord.

'Productive Assets' Under $125 Million VATICAN CITY (NC)-Cardinal Egidio Vagnizzi, a leading Vatican financia'i offi.cial, has stated that the value of the Vatican's "productive assets" throughout the world amounts to less than $125 million. Cardinal Vagnozzi, a former papal representative in the United States who now heads the Prefecture for the Holy See's Economic Affairs, said published reports that the Vatican's revenue:producing assets total $10 bi-llion or as much as $20 billion are "completely nonsensical." Asked by a reporter if the Vatican's productive assets might be worth about half a bi-llion doUars, he replied: "I can tell you that the Holy See's productive assets in Italy '-Ind the rest of the world are worth less than a quarter of the amount you mentioned."

Sistersl Senate Aspires to Serve .Area Needs By PAT McGOWAN When the Sisters' Senate of the FaH ~i~r diocese holds its annual business meeting Wednesday, May 28, it will be a sturdy two years old. A comparative newcomer among diocesan organizations, the sen· ate isa group whose members "are suppor,tive to each other and to the. works of the diocese," said Sister Rosellen Ga}logly, RSM, its president. "We're not a policy-forming group," she said. "We just share - with each other what we're doing. For teo long the various communities in the diocese didn't know what was going on with each other." The senate had its beginnings in December, 1972; when memo bers of the diocesan Priests' Senate met with representatives from about 10 of the area's 26 religious commun~ties of women, said Sister Rosellen. We wanted to establish priorities and discover needs, and it became clear that the first need was establishment of a group like the senate." Accordingly the planning group constituted itself a coordinating committee and organized several meetings to explore at greater depth the Senate proposal. The project culminated in May 1973 when an open meeting for all religious women of the diocese was held at Bishop Stang High School in North Dartmouth. "About 90 Sisters attended," recalled Sister Rosellen, "and. we presented the idea of a sena·te and its proposed organization, then asked each community that wished to participate to submit names of delegates and alternates.." Formally stated, the aims of the new group wer.e. "to serve the needs of the Fall River diocese, to strengthen and unify

religious communitJies and to provide a variety of activities within the diocese to the end of improving communication among Sisters." Eighteen of the communities in the diocese are represented on the senate, said its president. "Some feel ,they can't participate at this time but are glad to know of activities, some communities are very. small and a few are non-English speaking," ' she reported. Membership covers every age group, she noted, and an especially Well attended activity was a day of recollection planned by a committee of Sisters for the religious of the diocese.. A Justice Day at Sacred Hearts Academy, Fall River, earlier this month was also well received. Its purpose was the examination of the reconciliation theme of the Holy Year in the light of ministry to the oppressed Il"~ ;t i'lclllr:1~" an ,eyolanaHon of the work of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm -V"ol·,.ers and discussions of the Church's role in the fields of juvenile justice, health care and the social needs of the Fall River diocese. Present senate officers, in addition to ,Sister Rosellen, are Sister .Marlene Lewis, SUSC, vice-president, and Sister Emma Guenette, SSJ, secretary-trea. surer. All are in the field of education, Sister Rosellen as supervisor of bilingual education for the New Bedford public schools, Sister Marlene as B social studies teacher in the Taunton

delegates in Se...tember and election of new officers will follow. Next year, said the present officers, it was likely that meetings, held every third Wednesday, would have as their theme

Diocesan communities will hold elections for Sisters' Senate

the Holy Year and the Bicentennial. The senate also hopes to reach out to similar organizations in other dioceses, through its affiliation with the National Association of Women Religious.
