"Because of them we're at peace" WASHINGTON (NC) - "It's only because of them that we're at peace," said Archbishop Joseph Ryan of the U.S. Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services about the 37 U.S. sailors who died in an accidental Iraqi missile strike May 17 on the USS Stark in the Persian Gulf.

"It's because of kids like those that our country is at peace withothers, and that many other countries are at peace," the archbishop said. Most of the dead were in their 20s, and some were in their late teens.

In a telephone interview May 20, Archbishop Ryan said he felt "extreme sorrow" over the deaths and "outraged, not understanding how it could have happened."

His only consolation, he said, was "my personal belief that God takes us when we're most ready."

A similar faith was voiced by Barbara Kiser, wife of Senior Chief Petty Officer Stephen Kiser of Elkhart, Ind., one of those killed.

"God doesn't make mistakes....

I know my husband is in heaven," Mrs. Kiser said.

The Kisers and their 5-year-old son John were described in news

reports as a "close-knit Christian family."

U.S. Ambassador to Bahrain Sam Zakhem later told reporters that Mrs. Kiser and her son had asked him to deliver, through Iraqi officials, a Bible in Abrabic and a letter of peace to the pilot of the plane that attacked the Stark. Mrs. Kiser wanted to show the pilot "that even the son ... and the wife do not hold any grudge," he said.

Both the U.S. and Iraqi governments described the missile attack as an accident.

,Archbishop Hunthausen's authority is restored WASHINGTON (NC) - In a single stroke May 27 Pope John Paul II: - Restored Archbishop Raymond G, Hunthausen's authority in Seattle.

- Removed his auxiliary bishop, Bishop Donald Wuerl, who earlier had been given special governing powers in the Seattle archdiocese.

- Gave Archbishop Hunthausen a new coadjutor archbishop without any special powers.

Named coadjutor archbishop of Seattle with right of succession was Bishop Thomas J. Murphy of Great Falls-Billings. Mont.

A U,S. bishops' commission involved in resolving the case said in documentation accompanying the announcement that the real problem in Seattle is not Archbishop Hunthausen but a general "climate or orientation" in which he has been "perceived" as permissive "no matter how personally firm . . . [he] may be."

Both the special powers given to Bishop Wuerl and his appointment 18 months earlier as auxiliary bishop of Seattle were terminated with Archbishop Murphy's appointment.

"Bishop Wuerl remains at the disposition of the Holy See for' another assignment," the announcement said. It did not state where Bishop Wuerl would be reassigned.

The pope's Seattle decisions were "based substantially on the proposal we submitted," said the three-bishop commission, headed

by Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago, which the Holy See formed last February to assess the Seattle situation and to recommend steps to resolve it.

The commission, which also has as members Cardinal John O'Connor of New York and Archbishop John Quinn of San Francisco, is to work with Archbishops Hunthausen and Murphy for the next year to help them resolve problems in Seattle.

In conjunction with the announcement of changes in Seattle, the commission released its fivepage report to the Holy See on Seattle and a letter to all the bishops of the country regarding the resolution of the controversy.

Also released was a 1985 letter to Archbishop Hunthausen from the Vatican'S Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which had closed the two-year investigation in his archdiocese which it had overseen since 1983.

The letter, formerly secret and itself a source of controversy and speculation, contains a list of problems found in the Seattle Archdiocese. Its contents had been given confidentially to the priests of Seattle in 1985, and rumors of what it said had circulated since then.

The 1985 letter should be used, the Bernardin commission said, "as the primary guide for the direction in which the church in Seattle must move beyond the point it has already reached," Archbishop Murphy, 54, held parish posts and was priests' senate president and seminary rector in Chicago before he was named bishop of Great Falls-Billings in 1978.

He has a reputation for a collegial, consultative style of leadership.

Archbishop Hunthausen, 65, has been a bishop since 1962 and archbishop of Seattle since 1975. He is nationally known for his tax resistance to U.S. military spending and his outspoken opposition to the nuclear-carrying Trident submarines based in Puget Sound within his archdiocese.

The Bernardin commission's report drew a series of conclusions which, in both content and style, seemed clearly aimed at ending the Seattle controversy, one of the most divisive in-church issues in U.S. Catholicism since the papal birth control decision of 1968.

The Bernardin commission's conclusions included that: - "The ultimate key to the situation" is not a lack of firmness or adherence to church teaching and practice by Archbishop Hunthausen. Rather, there is an "overall attitudinal 'climate'" in his archdiocese under which his "almost legendary ... compassion" has been' misconstrued by others as "permissiveness."

- In the Vatican's actions on the case, the commission unanimously agreed that "no steps were intended as punitive, regardless of perceptions to the contrary."

- Bishop Wuerl, despite "dedicated efforts" to carry out the job the Holy See asked of him, was placed in "exceedingly difficult circumstances beyond his control."

Agreeing with the Holy See's earlier judgments that changes are needed in Seattle, the Bernardin commission declared that there is a "climate of permissiveness within which some feel themselves free to design their own policies and practices."

At issue in Seattle have been a wide range of concerns, from unauthorized Catholic-Protestant eucharistic sharing and other liturgical abuses to questions about the force of church teaching against homosexual activity, from alleged church approval of invalid second marriages to weaknesses in the formation and ongoing education of priests.

Despite frequent objections by his supporters that Archbishop Hunthausen was unfairly treated because he was never shown a specific list of complaints that he could deal with, the commission said that was not the fundamental issue.

"More than individual items which might need correction," it said, "it is the overall attitudinal 'climate' or psychological and ecclesiological orientation of the archdiocese which is the ultimate key tothe situation."

It said the 1985 letter from the doctrinal congregation - however it was perceived at the time it was originally sent - was "reasonably clear in both specifics and intent" and also seemed aimed at correctTurn to Page.16 ImllllllllllllllllllllmllllUlllIIlIlIlIIlIlIIlIIlIIlIIlIIllIIlII, THE ANCHOR (USPS-545-Q20).

Bringing Christ to the heari.ng 'impaired

By Joseph Motta

For the past six years, at the 9:30 a.m. Sunday Mass at St. Ann's parish, Raynham, a lot of eyes have been riveted on Sharon Trucchi.

An audiology student at Northeastern University looking forward to graduation in June, Sharon volunteers her talents as a sign language interpreter at St. Ann's, ministering to hearing-impaired Catholics by signing the Mass for them.

Sharon, now 30, learned to sign at about age 19. She was Girl Scout leader at the time and one of her Scouts had two hearing-impaired sisters who wanted to join the troop.

She said that the deaf community at St. Ann's is made up mostly of persons from the Taunton area, but that one Wareham family attends the Mass regularly.

The St. Ann's parish native, now an East Taunton resident, offers religious education to some of the hearing-impaired youngsters who attend the Mass. She also attends choir practices to learn the words to hymns so she can keep pace while they are sung.

At Easter and Christmas she interprets at vigil Masses, in order to give the hearing-impaired community a change of pace.

"We have a lot of support from the parish," Sharon said.

"I think this apostolate for the deaf is just one way of showing that we are a priestly people, that we share in the work of Christ from the time of our baptism," says Very Rev. Gerald T. Shovelton, St. Ann's pastor.

"We all have different talents to use for Christ, and this is how Sharon uses her talent."

During his homily at a recent

ll-year-old Christopher Gonsalves, a hearing-impaired Tauntonian, was at the Mass with his grandmother, Josephine Tangherlini.

"Coming here is good for my grandson," she said. "I like it a lot here," Christopher signed. "I like coming to church."

The hearing-impaired community at St. Ann's also includes Sharon's young nephew, Eric Cyr, and teenager Lena Blackwell and their families.

signed Mass, Father Shovelton spoke about service in and to the Church. He referred to Sharon and to Michael Murray and John Welch, parishioners who are candidates for the diocesan permanent diaconate, as examples of Christians giving their all to God. "We really want to know God," he said, "and we see God in Jesus Christ and we see God in each other."

Among the hearing-impaired persons who attend the Mass are East Taunton's Bill and Helen Ross.

The couple, who have two hearing sons, have been worshiping at St. Ann's for about four years.

"I come to get close to God," Mrs. Ross signed. "Everyone needs to communicate together," her husband added.

OFFICIAL

I hope I will be forgiven for departing from journalistic objectivity on the occasion of the retirement of Msgr. Daniel F. Shalloo. I could say that I'm simply following the example of at least two colleagues on area daily newspapers who, to their credit, also threw detachment to the winds in paying tribute to the pastor of Holy Name Church, Fall River.

But I have an additional reason.

Before marriage, I visited Fall River several times to meet my fiance's family and friends, among them a much younger Father Shal100. I had a distinct impression, later confirmed, that his approval of the proposed alliance carried great weight.

I was later to find how many people shared my fiance's high regard for Father Shalloo's opinion, not only on affairs ofthe heart but of life, death and all the crises between.

For instance, members of Immaculate Conception parish, Fall River, where he was curate from 1937 to 1942, still seek his advice when the going gets rough.

His name is well known among gentlemen of the road. What else would you expect of a man who, chided upon giving a handout to an obvious freeloader, muttered, "It was such a cold day, I couldn't have said no to the devil himself."

There are the quiet kindnesses, like slipping $100 to a parishioner called out of town by the unexpected death of her father - "just in case you need something extra"; and the grace notes, like money for a special dinner out to parents of a large family who had managed a rare weekend away together.

Always, there is the care for the sick and elderly, which became a more constant concern in Holy Name parish, where Msgr. Shal100 was responsible for many years for attending two hospitals and where he still cares for eight nursing homes and many shut-ins.

RE'J'IREMENT Bishop Daniel A. Cronin has accepted the resignation of Reverend Monsignor Daniel F. Shalloo from the Pastorate of Holy Name Parish, Fall River. In retirement, Msgr. Shalloo will reside at St. Joseph's Rectory in Fall River.

TRANSFER OF PASTORS Rev. Bernard R. Kelly, from Pastor, St. Augustine Parish, Vineyard Haven, to Pastor, Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, Wellfleet.

Rev. Francis L. Mahoney, from Pastor, St. Mary's Parish, Seekonk, to Pastor, Holy Name Parish, Fall River.

APPOINTMENT OF NEW PASTORS Rev. James R. McLellan, from Parochial Vicar at St. Pius X Parish, South Yarmouth, to Pastor, St. Augustine Parish, Vineyard Haven.

Rev. Thomas L. Rita, from Parochial Vicar, St. Mary's Parish, Taunton, to Pastor, St. Mary's Parish, Seekonk.

Effective Wednesday, June 17, 1987

Father Mahoney has been chaplain for the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and its Newman Club, and for Cape area Boy Scouts. He was codirector of the Fall River area CYO and in the 1970s served on the diocesan personnel board and as diocesan coordinator for the Campaign for Human Development and the annual Catholic Relief Services overseas appeal of the American bishops. He holds a master's degree in education from Bridgewater State College.

"For us, you have been the Church"

By Pat McGowan

FATHER McLELLAN

He has been chaplain ofthe Boy Scout program for the Cape Cod area.

Father Mahoney Father Mahoney was born April 28, 1935, in New Bedford, the son of Lucy (Leonard) Mahoney and the late Francis C. Mahoney. He attended Holy Family Grammar School, the former Holy Family High School and Providence College before studying for the priesthood in Baltimore.

Following ordination, he was parochial vicar at St. Margaret's parish, Buzzards -Bay, and Immaculate Conception, Fall River.

He was named pastor of St. Mary's, Seekonk', in 1978.

\

As one parishioner said to him, "When I think of priesthood, I think of you."

The reverence and love Fall Riverites feel for him came to a head May 20 when nearly 1,000 friends and brother priests gathered at Holy Name Church for his Mass of thanksgiving for 50 years in the priesthood.

There Very Rev. John P. Driscoll, Msgr. Shalloo's dear friend and Anchor coworker for many years, spoke of the world of 1937 into which the young priest stepped to serve the people of God. It was a world where supplies sufficient to paint a house cost $14, an ordination suit (with two pairs of pants) went for $15 and steak was .10 a pound.

availability, loyalty, love, his gift of oratory and his outgoing nature.

"He is Msgr. Fall River," he said, "totally loved."

When it was his turn to speak, Msgr. Shalloo, describing his discomfiture at being the center of attention, likened himselfto a ballerina "on her toes in strain and pain, but the director is screaming 'Smile!' " Alluding to his well-known dislike for leaving Fall River, he noted "I didn't have to go to Rome or Ireland - they came to me. The pope came to Boston, Ireland came to that wonderful exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts,"

"The world has changed but the work of the priest has not," said Father Driscoll, describing Msgr.

Shalloo as bringing to God his "great gifts of wit and heart and intellect and temperament.

"A host of people here and in heaven can say of him 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,' " he concluded.

"I thank Msgr. Shalloo for his marvelous service to the diocese and to the people entrusted to his care over the past 50 years," said Bishop Daniel A. Cronin, who presided at the Mass. "As one Daniel to another," he added, "it was a job well done," Greeted by a standing ovation from the congregation, Msgr. Shal100 expressed gratitude to his brother priests and to the many who assisted in arrangements for the Mass.

At the banquet which followed at White's restaurant, Westport, toastmaster Dr. John P. Malloy summed up parishioners' feelings for Msgr. Shalloo: "For us, you have been the Church," he said.

Father Edward C. Burns, master of ceremonies, using the letters of the jubilarian's name, saluted him for scholarship, holiness,

He applauded liturgical change: "When they turned the altar around, we didn't have to get haircuts so often."

But, departing from his alwaysleave-them-laughing tradition of a sidesplitting exit line, he left banquetgoers with a "toast to all-my prayers, my friendship, my love," A true son of the city where he was born 75 years ago in St. Joseph's parish, Msgr. Shalloo has never served outside Fall River. In retirement, he will return to his roots, residing at St. Joseph's rectory-, where he was a curate 19 years. St. Joseph's is down the hill from Holy Name and only a short distance from Immaculate Conception and St. Louis parishes, his other assignments.

As the wheel came full circle; Msgr. Shalloo wrote about the events of May 20 in a note to parishioners carried in last Sunday's Holy Name parish bulletin.

"Last Wednesday," he wrote, "will leave an everlasting stamp in my memory. The grandeur of the entire night can only be attributed to the sacrifice, work, dedication and expertise of many, many individuals. I have become your eternal debtor."

Wrong, Msgr. Shalloo. We are yours.

Again Campaign Reform

the living word

.

If anything evolves from the Gary Hart fiasco, it should be the realization that our electoral campaign process is batty, bonkers and berserk.

No other country on this planet tolerates, let alone approves, the method by which we elect our public officials.

Some might say that we have great leaders because of our system and that our campaign practices reflect the desires of the people.

The failure of the Hart campaign contradicts all such notions. It is a glaring example of why we must safeguard our democracy from the agonies of our current election procedures.

In fact, the people no longer really decide elections. Money, media and manipulation are the true factors that determine the so-called front runners. The recent campaign for the congressional seat of House Speaker Tip O'Neill is proof positive of this.

If any campaign is to get off the ground, it needs money.

Serious office seekers have no choice but to spend time and effort and develop skill at fundraising, often to the detriment of issues, needs and policies. It is estimated that over twothirds of a candidate's energies are expended in this direction.

Television time is outrageously expensive. Newspapers must have money in hand before they print a political ad. Tickets must be sold, parties arranged and transportation assured. All this costs megabucks. The bigger the office, the bigger the bill.

What was once simple has escalated absurdly, even on the local level. Thus candidates become susceptible to many ensnarements as they seek votes. Too many end up owing too much to individuals, special interest groups and questionable organizations. By the time they are sworn Into office, they are not their own person. The ideal has become more than tarnished. It's rusted.

If we are to bring common sense into our political arena, it truly seems we should have a limited campaign period. The present English campaign demonstrates this system. A onemonth period from the call for an election to the election itself is all the time required by England and indeed by most other countries of Western Europe. The stricture of time in itself limits the energy and money that can be expended.

The campaign does not drain the last penny from political purses. It reinforces a politician's claim of real concern for his or her constituents. It's hard to see how a person holding a political office can do justice to the position while spending most of his or her time campaigning for another post. Our current Massachusetts situation is an example of this.

There are those who would tell us that a limited-time cam.. paign does not allow for sufficient debate and discussion, that a candidate would not have sufficient "exposure time." But one suspects that such an attitude is influenced by Madison Avenue and the media.

If politicians are serious in wishing to serve the nation well, they should band together to end our present preelection sideshow. It's ridiculous, unrealistic and corrupting, outrageously burdening candidates and reducing democracy to mere fantasy.

The facts are at hand for all to see past experience tells its own story.

Reform is needed if we are to save people and parties.

As we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the signing of our Constitution, we should try to renew the ideals and dreams it gave us.

Surely campaign reform will help fulfill the American dream. If it goes unfulfilled, our celebration this year will have little meaning.

"And the virgin's name was Mary." Luke 1:27

Compression and tension

By Father Kevin J. Harrington There is nothing more awe inspiring than human nature. For all the trouble that it gives, it is evidently exactly as God meant it to be.

Angels were created as pure spirit, while man, a slightly inferior being, is both spirit and matter, made in the image of God, but also of dust. Philosophers have grappled with the odd and difficult problem of reconciling our minds with our bodies. But this dilemma, which has made us both wonder and weep, is just what God intended.

8t. Augustine was critical of those who take human nature for granted. He wrote: "Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering...路 Recent advances in medicine and psychology have given us great insight into the functioning of the human brain. During the 19th century it was realized that patients who suffered injuries to the left side of the brain lost their ability to speak while those who suffered injuries to the right side did not.

This led to the mistaken notion that the left side of the brain was dominant, a notion also supported by the fact that right-handedness is controlled by the left side of the brain.

By the 1930s the tendency to ignore the right side of the brain because of the supposed dominance of the left gave way to an even more fascinating theory. Medical studies of injuries to the right side of the brain showed that it controlled visual, musical and spatial abilities.

It is now clear that certain parts of the brain are correlated with certain mental operations. Most researchers agree that the right side controls mental operations involving the imaginative and intuitive faculties while the left side controls operations involving the logical and rational faculties.

Balance plays as much of a critical role in our understanding of the mind as ofthe body. All physical structures must maintain a balance between their compression members and their tension members. In, for instance, the case of a

sailboat, its mast is its compression member, while its lines are its tension members. The key to building a sailboat is to find the correct balance between the members. If you want to increase the height of a mast, you must increase its radius to avoid buckling.

Every compression member is vulnerable to tension. To double the height of a mast, one must double its radius, which means that its weight must increase by a factor of eight.

Like a sailboat, the human body is nothing more nor less than a collection of compression and tension members. The compression members of the body are the bones that make up the skeleton. As with the tall ships, our compression members are few in number and supported by a large number of "lines" in the form of muscles, tendons and ligaments. Little did the ancient designers realize how they stole from Mother Nature when they built their sailboats!

During this Easter season, if we use bo~h sides of our brain, we could garner some wisdom from 8t. Irenaeus, who wrote: "Now to bring man to being, to make a living and rational creature, of bones, muscle, veins, and all the rest of man's economy, which as yet did not exist, was a task far harder and more incredible than to restore this creature to life after it has been redissolved into the earth."

Fighting depression Last week I talked about your response to my request for practical life experience in dealing with depression. I mentioned the overwhelming number of letters I received and my regret in not being able to respond to them personally.

General wisdom offered by readers who have experienced depression follows and may help both victims and their families.

1. Get a complete physical to find ifthe cause of your depression is organic. Many writers told of being treated emotionally for a depression which was organically caused and of how simple medication did away with their feelings of despair.

-More and more the genera- cold or unimaginative. They are tion of young adults between. self-preoccupied." the ages of 20 and 35 is being And with what? The changing studied. People want to know social fabric, for one thing - the what this generation's future may hold.

Several months ago a Newsweek article discussed couples who are delaying marriage until after the age of 30. It caused a furor, suggesting that it is possible, maybe probable, that some ofthose whose biological clocks are running down will never have a child of their own. It questioned whether those who are waiting for marriage until after their careers are well-launched - will find a suitable partner for life.

Incidentally, in our studies of seminarians we have found that one-third of them are over 30. This suggests that young men who long ago may have thought of becoming priests are waiting much longer to make a final decision.

There are three stages in choosing a career - the fantasy stage, the tentative stage and the realistic stage. But these stages are being stretched out over such a long period of time that some people wonder whether the young adult generation will ever achieve the last stage.

There are those who suggest also that this is an unromantic generation. A study by Bruce Weber of the New York Times found that today's young adults are planners, always looking ahead and setting priorities. His study revealed that the belief that love is all you need no longer obtains.

Weber is, however, quick to qualify his findings. He says: Young adults "are not heartless, soulless,

fact that there are millions of divorces each year or a concern about where an era of sexual experimentation has led.

Constant forecasts of economic gloom likewise-have left this generation in the tentative stage. The old saying, "Throw caution to the wind and go for it" has lost its ring, Weber says.

If the above observations are true, I believe they present the church an opportunity to draw closer to this generation of young adults. If they are cautious and concerned about the world around them, that caution, if rightly developed, bears a relationship to the virtues of wisdom, understanding and prudence. Their wariness is antithetical to forging ahead in a headstrong, blind way without taking counsel.

It signals that these young people are ready for dialogue with people and traditions that reflect sound principles.

The time seems ripe to work with this generation in questioning pseudo-values and in searching along with them for the values they are groping toward.

The church, which is founded on the romantic beliefthat God so loved us that he gave us his Son, should try to respond to the needs of this generation. After all, from that single romantic belief flow the principles upon which married life can flourish, the material cares of the world can be controlled and

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Congregation

for the Doctrine of the Faith, which recently issued an "instruc.tion" on procreation issues, said in a Vatican Radio interview that instruction did not propose a specific moment of ensoulment. However the burden of proof is now on those who argue the embryo is not a person, he added.

Continued from Page One Bishop Joseph L. Howze of Biloxi, Miss., is the only one ofthe nation's II black bishops who heads a diocese.

The delegates also asked that dioceses allocate money through the year 1990 to implement their plan.

Delegates met in celebration, reflection and small-group and general sessions to hammer out their plan from a working document of concerns gathered at listening sessions of black Catholics held recently in U.S. dioceses.

The nation's black bishops and a number of white bishops attended the congress, including Archbishop James Hickey of Washington, Car- . dinal Bernard Law of Boston, Archbishop Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles and Cardinal John J. O'Connor of New York.

Delegates' top priorities included: - Evangelization by blacks of the country's 6 million to 10 million unchurched black Americans.

- Study of cultural and historical contributions of black Americans to church and society through local committees of black historians and scholars.

- Strengthening of black family values through parish family life programs that affirm black traditions, history and development.

- Comprehensive training for black men and women for church ministry at all levels.

- Spiritual development through retreats and days of recollection reflecting the black experience.

- Church decision-making at all levels involving blacks, showing appreciation of black culture.

- Continued financial support for Catholic schools in black communities and special efforts to ensure quality education.

As he opened the congress, Auxiliary Bishop John Ricard of Baltimore; congress chairman, told delegates to remember they spoke for all U.S. black Catholics.

"Some may feel it's too soon, it's to'o late, we won't ever make it or question why at all. But we are ready and it's time."

The history of congresses for black Catholics began in the 19th century, with five congresses held between 1889 and 1894 focusing on segregation within the church.

The May 21-24 congress was the first held in this century.

Cardinal O'Connor urged delegates to guide him and his fellow bishops.

"In New York there is a lot of talk about ministry 'with' blacks, not 'to' blacks," the cardinal said..

"We're dead as a church if we think we minister 'to' blacks and do not accept the enrichment they bring."

The church "must weep" over the fact that only 1.3 million ofthe 30 million U.S. blacks are Catholic, he said.

Diocese of Fall River -

Very Rev. Edward C. Duffy, pastor of St. Francis Xavier parish, Hyannis, recently celebrated, for the 25th consecutive year, a field Mass for New Bedford's Polish and American World War Veterans.

The event, held each Memorial Day, recreates the celebration of Mass under the open sky on a makeshift altar, a frequent necessity on the battlefield. The Mass, offered on a memorial plot in Brooklawn Park, New Bedford, is approved by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin and is the only service of its kind permitted in the Fall River diocese.

Over 200 persons attended this

year's observance.

According to veteran Frederick M. Kalisz, there is special signifi. cance to Father Duffy's participation.

Kalisz says that the Cape pastor, who served for years in New Bedford and is a former Navy chaplain, brings "realism and en· thusiasm" to the ceremony.

On Monday Father Duffy received citations from several govern· mental bodies and a plaque from the veterans in recognition of his 25 years of volunteer service.

Father Henry Kropiwnicki, pastor of St. Casimir parish, New Bedford, concelebrated the Mass with Father Duffy.

The names of the targeted individuah; - including seven Catholic bishops. 21 priests, seven sisters and one brother - were published in a brochure distributed worldwide by the Franciscan Service for Justice and Peace of Brazil.

The brochure does not identify the source of the threats.

The fay missionary is Arthur Powers, who with his wife, Brenda, was sent to Brazil in 1985 by the New York-based Most Holy Name of Jesus Province of Franciscan Friars. Province members staff Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford.

Powers, a Bostonian, is an advocate for the rural poor and an organizer of basic Christian communities in a small Brazilian town.

in the states of Goias, Ceara and Maranhao, where struggle between large ranchers and landless peasants has been most violent.

Land reform is politically CODtroversial in Brazil. where the government is trying to resolve a situation in which 1.2 percent of the rurailandownerscontrol more than 45 percent of the arable land.

In the brochure, the Franciscans say Brazilian 80vernmcnt officials often know of or directly par· ticipate in land-related violence.

Procrastination is a common enough problem. not only among children but among husbands, wives, employees and friends as well.

Also, as you say, you probably are making it worse by getting after him all the time. What you need is a plan that moves your SOD along without giving him too' much attention for delaying tactics.

We all want attention. Most of what we do is an attempt to get someone's attention. We rorget that even nellative attention is valued. This is why nagginll and "getting after" can reward the very behavior it is supposed to be eliminating.

One possible approach would be to back orr and let your son surrer the consequences of his foot

dragging, such as missing school when he misses the bus. However, missing school more than once or twice may not be wise for other reasons. } have another plan, which should minimize the attention you have to provide for pokiness.

What I am going to suggest will take some of your time. However, ~ro~ what you describe,,} suspect It Will ~ke less of your time than you now lose with tbe ineffective nagging. . _Break the ~sk of getting ready IOto smaller units. Then follow through on each one, not with your mouth but with your actions.

This should move your son along with a minimum of rewarding attention.

Get your son to help you make out a schedule that fits your situation. He may enjoy it. On the chart, put the following headings: Tasle, deadline and points. Tasks and deadlines might include get up, 6:30; make bcd, 6:40; brush teeth, 6:50; dressed and in kitchen, 7:00; finish with breakfast, 7:15; school books together, 7:20; at bus stop, 7:30.

You may want to set the oven

timer for each deadline. Check on him. If he has not completed the Iask, do.it for him or with him. If he has completed the task, give him a point on thuhart.

In the preceding plan he can earn as many as seven points each morning. You and he can arrange several small treats which can be "purcbased"with the pointsc:amcd.

This plan has aevcral advantaget.

First of all, trying to finish before the buzzer rings can become a chaUenging game. Kidsalso like to see points accumulate.

Another advantage is that your attention is now provided pri~r­ ily for achievements. Before, most of your attention was given for delaying.

Finally, it works. Since you will be moving your son along at each step, he is more likely to be ready for the bus. It is not "bad" to help him. Rather, he will learn that you mean what you say about being ready. He will also learn from your example. Good luck!

After a decade or two of being a denigrated life choice, respect for motherhood is back.

I say this because lately I have been meeting so many mature women who are either pregnant or trying to conceive. Further proof is that one recent evening three TV commercials in a row featured guess what? Babies!

In the past year in my small newspaper office, a pholographer, proofreader and paste-up assistant all had babies. Last week my editorial anistant told me she was pregnant.

When the new mothers come intD the office to visit with their babies, everything stops for a while.

We take 8 break to marvel over thelle delightful creatures full of new life. And} think of the banner I had ona wall for alongtimethat said, "Joy is the sign of God in a person." Certainly babies are a living sign that God has not aban· doned us.

What I especially notice is the joy in the mothers. Our photographer, for instance, was supposed to come back to work fulltime wh,cn her baby was four months old. Now there's no way she can do that, she says. Her baby needs her and she needs him. It's too much to give up, she adds, not being with him in these precious months of growth.

Even some motheri who had what the world calls interesting careers are finding thaUhey prefer to put them on indefinite hold while they take on the new responsibilities of motherhood.

In the early 1970s I was fre· quently criticized for having six - children: I generally was told that J was unconcerned about the terrible consequences of the population explosion for I had contributed to it. Sometimes J was told that I was a bad example for women's liberation.

Now we've come full circle. Arguments against motherhood are not spoken at all. Quite the contrary.

The women who waited to have babies are now getting concerned that their biological clock is running out. Motherhood is sought after as their prime desire by more and more older women.

As one woman told me when she finally, after many months of trying, found-herself pregnant, "It's like I've picked the winning ticket in a lottery."

At the last oUour baby showen I've been_to in the paSt few months, the motheNo-be disclosed in a quiet conversation that bc:ingpregnant had gotten her thinking about God again. She found herselfpraying again after yeari of not doing that very often.

She asked if that had happened to me in my childbearing years. } smiled. Of course I prayed. How can one enter into the activity of

coereating a human life and not be drawn to the God whohas madej( possible? How can you feel the growth of new life within your own, body without reflectiDI on the larger question of how this could happen?

In the lovely new book called "The Nine-month Miracle,a Journal for the Mother·to-Be" (Liguorj), author Carrie J. Heiman expresses beautifully why motherhood is so rooted in God the Creator.

"We spend a Iiretime seeking miracles. We long to see the power of God demonstrated in some splendid way which wilt show the world that we have not believed in vain...And now we're pregnant.

We don't have to seek miracles any more. The miracle has found us."

Saying goodbye tQ your father

By HBda Younl Isn't it funny that after more than 20 years of plumping and smoothing words well enough to make a living at it, you can't find any words good enough to say goodbye to your father?

How· do you say goodbye to someone who knew you before you were born, to someone you kicked awake in the middle of the night while biding in your mother's womb?

How do you say goodbye to someone who held you in his arms during tbe first moments of your life and promised you safety and love and an honest loot at life sometimes - and made 8000 on those promi5el7 How doyou say goodbye to the man whose patience outlasted his temper long enough to teach you to tighten your own roller skates, water-ski and drive a stick shift?

How do you say goodbye to the {ather you thought would skin you alive the day you drove his company car into a ravine, but all he

did was put his arm around your shoulders and say, "Don't make· fun afmy plastic Jesus on tbedash anymore."

How do you say goodbye to the· parent who drove you to CCO, argued with you through the confirmation years, smiled at you when you told him the church was bunk and didn't say a word when you started "sneaking" back to Mass?

How do you say loodbye to the friend who walked you down the aisle whispering. "ATe -you _sun: you want to do tbis?"

How do you say goodbye to the new grandpa who tells his new granddaughter at her baptism "You will be called revenge. May your colic be happy, your stitches few, your encounters with the law minor and your hours on the phone endless. Amen."

How do you say goodbye? How do you say enough thank-yous?

How do you show him your heart?

Maybe you can't. Maybe all you can do is say, "llovc you. See you in heaven."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., May 29, 1987

Vatican explains request for increased funds VATICAN CITY (NC)- Hefty envelopes filled with Vatican budget figures and a request for help in meeting the Vatican's growing annual budget shortfall went to the world's nearly 4,000 Catholic bishops in May. The bulk of the mailing consisted of documentation, never before provided to the bishops, detailing Vatican income and expenses and reasons why spending has outstripped earnings.

The bottom line: New sources of steady income are needed for the Vatican from self-sufficient local churches.

But why the call to collegiality, the selling job, in a hierarchical church where authority comes from the top? Can't the Vatican just order some extra yearly collections or require dioceses and bishops' conferences to forward a certain portion of their income?

Papal advice

...

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Noting a growing shortage of priests worldwide, Pope John Paul II said priestless parishes should try to meet regularly in prayer services and when possible distribute communi<;>n using previously consecrated hosts.

"This form of celebration does not replace the Mass, but should make it more desired," the pope recently told members of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship.

The pope said the decreasing number of priests throughout the world has made priestless parishes, once confined to mission territories, a reality in many traditionally Christian countries. . He said communities that cannot rely on a visiting priest every Sunday should come together for prayers of praise and petition, the Liturgy of the Word and "if possible in the communion of the eucharistic bread, consecrated at a previous Mass." Church rules allow reception of communion outside . of Mass in a rite modeled on the Mass.

It probably could, but it does not because of a belief that contributions to the maintenance of Vatican operations should be voluntary and because canon law gives most fundraising authority to local bishops and bishops' conferences.

The key canon is 1271, which says: "In view of their bond of unity and charity and in accord with the resources of their dioceses, bishops are to assist in procuring those means whereby the Apostolic See can properly provide for its service of the universal church according to the conditions of the times."

The Apostolic See, or Holy See, consists of the central agencies with headquarters at the Vatican - which govern the 'universal church.

The canon "does not call for taxation of dioceses or others by the Holy See. Rather the support system seems to be voluntary," according to a commentary by the Canon Law Society of America.

Although the mailing to the bishops was not made public by the Vatican, officials involved in preparing it said Canon 1271 was the basis of the appeal.

The approach gives local dioceses and national bishops' conferences great flexibility in deter-

Over 100 stations to air rosary MARINA DEL REY, Calif.

(NC) - More than 100 U.S. television stations are scheduled to carry live a June 6 broadcast of Pope John Paul II opening the Marian Year leading the rosary from Rome.

The program, to begin at noon EDT on the day before Pentecost, is to include Catholics in prayer at Marian shrines in several nations, including the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.

Among area U.S. stations that have agreed to broadcast the papal rosary are WNEV Boston and WPRI Providence.

mining how they raise funds for the Vatican. It also put a greater burden on the churches in wealthy countries since the contribution system must be "in accord with the resources of their dioceses."

Although canon law says the church "has an innate right to require from the Christian faithful whatever is necessary for the ends proper to it," the specific means and mechanisms of getting money are left to local bishops and bishops' conferences.

"The faithful are to contribute to the support of the church by collections and according to the norms laid down by the conference of bishops," says Canon 1262.

Diocesan bishops are given the right to establish special collections for local, national orglobalchurch projects. They even have the right, under Canon 1263, "to impose a moderate tax" on church institutions under their jurisdiction for diocesan needs. The same canon

also allows a bishop "in cases of grave necessity" to impose "an extraordinary and moderate tax" on the Catholics in his diocese.

The Holy See cannot exercise any of these powers over the universal church. It is pretty well limited by canon law to accepting contributions and approving locally set fees for juridical actions requested from it.

When it comes to funding, the Vatican is selling collegiality to the bishops.

Donations would stop criticism, he says To help pay for the papal trip, area corporations by mid-May had pledged a total of about $SOO,OOO, in amounts varying from $10,000 to $2S,OOO. Donations also were expected from Florida's six other dioceses and from private foundations, according to the archbishop.

Collections already have been taken in the archdiocese's lOS parishes for papal trip expenses, but the total amount collected has not been determined.

Father David Russell, coordinator of the archdiocesan papal visit finances committee, said the event is expected to cost the archThe archbishop said he will urge diocese about $ 1.8 million. Other everyone who sees the pope during costs will be met by the Vatican, his Sept. 10-11 stay in Miami or National Conference of Catholic who is influenced by the visit to Bishops, and federal and local govcontribute money to a favorite ernments, he said. He said that "the money isn't being spent on the charity for the poor.

He said he will not seek money. pope" but on efforts so that the for Catholic Charities itself but is recommending other contributions that will go "directly to the poor or any agency that helps the poor. So in this area it would go to agencies like the Salvation Army, the United Way, or any agency that they feel confident is serving the poor."

MIAMI (NC) - Archb\shop Edward A. McCarthy of Mi<Jmi is encouraging contributions of some $5 million to local charities to offset criticism that Pope John Paul II's visit will consume money which would otherwise be spent on the poor. .

"If we can get a million people to respond at an average of $S apiece, there will be $S million going to our poor. So there won't be that complaint that this is somehow depriving the poor," he said in an interview in The Miami News.

whole community can benefit from the trip.

Major expenses will be construction of an outdoor altar and platforms and provision of special facilities for the papal Mass, including approximately $100,000 for a sound system, transportation, and other items, the priest said.

Archbishop McCarthy noted that some firms doing construction and other work for the visit are only charging for their costs and are donating the labor. He said other expenses, such as those involving security operations, are handled by the U.S. Secret Service and state and local law enforcement agencies. A $278 million state' government supplemental budget request sent to the state legislature by the governor's office includes $434,60 I for papal visit security needs.

Archbishop McCarthy expressed hopes the papal trip can be an opportunity for both Catholics and non-Catholics "to deepen their spirituallives." An outdoor Mass where the pope will be the principal celebrant will be open to all denominations, he said.

Philippine elections aimed at rejuvenating politics, cardinal says CHICAGO (NC) - Filipino Cardinal Jaime Sin said his country's May II congressional elections were aimed at rooting out

poitical leftovers from the era of ousted President Ferdinand Marcos.

"We need young blood in our

leadership," he said. "The old politicians should go to the museum."

"We were able to expel Ali Baba," the cardinal said, referring to Marcos, "but the 40 thieves are still around."

Filipinos are trying to restore democracy after" Marcos destroyed everything that democracy means to all of us," he said.

Cardinal Sin, in the Chicago area to receive an honorary degree from Lewis University in Romeoville, also said Catholic clergy should stay in the background of Philippines politics.

"We should avoid the limelight and should not be so much involved in the affairs of government," he said. Such involvement is a mistake which "boils down to anticlericalism."

He said the church "should never marry a political system."

"The moment it marries a political system it becomes a widow in the next generation," the churchman said.

But the cardinal also said there . is room for legitimate clerical comment on politics, adding he left a

,

guideline for such comment with the clergy in his Manila archdiocese.

"Politics is a human activity and as a human activity it hlj,s its morality," he explained. "Is it right for me to go to the pulpi~ and tell my people to make this election clean, honest and fair?

"That is my job."

The Filipino clergy, particularly Cardinal Sin, were deeply and publicly involved in the events leading to Marcos' ouster in February 1986.

The cardinal issued a call over Manila's Catholic station, Radio Veritas, which brought tens of thousands of Filipinos into the street to form a human barricade between high-ranking defectors from the Marcos cabinet and troops sent out to arrest them.

Cardinal Sin explained that the clergy became involved "because there was no more hope, because we foresaw that if we did not get

involved there would be a bloodbath and a civil war."

He said Marcos "corrupted the judiciary; he corrupted the politicains; he corrupted the teachers.

He corrupted everybody."

But Mrs. Aquino "is a woman with a firm spirit, honest, sincere and compassionate," Cardinal Sin said.

"If ... a man had succeeded the last regime, he might have been revengeful," he said.

The Filipino churchman said economic and political life is improving at home.

"Everywhere in Manila now business is booming, buildings are going up," which "means that people are already happy and there is political stability," he said.

But the country as a whole is poor because Marcos took its financial resources and deposited them in "Switzerland and here in the United States," the cardinal said.

He said he wonders "why can't America help the Philippines more."

"Lovemaking, lifemaking" CHICAGO (NC) - Couples facing the "difficult burden" of childlessness should make decisions about modern procreative techniques only "after prayerful and conscientious reflection" on church teachings, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago said. In a recent forum for medical students and researchers at the University of

Chicago medical school the cardinal said the church teaches that "lovemaking and lifemaking" are twin aspects of marriage and marital intercourse, and "cannot be separated." He defended the Vatican's recent statement rejecting human procreation outside the context of loving marital intercourse.

Discrimination rapped VATICAN CITY (NC) - A 'Yugoslavian church leader has urged an end to discrimination faced by Catholics in many areas of Yugoslavian public life. Cardinal Franjo Kuharic ofZabreb said recently that Catholics and other believers are kept out of individual jobs, professions, government posts and upper-level army ranks. Such positions go only to professed athe-

ists, he said.

Cardinal KUharic, head of the Yugoslavian bishops' conference, also said there are several positive elements in church relations with the communist government - including the church's freedom to name bishops and administer its internal affairs without interference, and the basic right of believers to worship. .

By Joseph Motta Dolores Faber's first grade students at St. Anthony School, New Bedford, recently had an extra geography lesson, one they're very excited about.

The youngsters will be happy to pick out Bergenfield, NJ, on the map for you, thanks to their teacher's neighbor, a bunch of balloons and some very strong winds.

The neighbor, Albert Broadland, driving in Dartmouth, found a tangled bunch of nine balloons, some deflated. Attached to each was a message from a Bergenfield kindergartener: "I released this balloon from Franklin School, Bergenfield, New Jersey, 07621,on May 11,1987.

Also attached was a child's name and a request for the finder to con~ tact the school.

The balloons, noted Mrs. Faber, who was given them by Broadland, had arrived in Dartmouth, over 200 miles from Bergenfield, the same day they were launched.

She brought them to her 20 first graders. Each chose a New Jerseyite to receive a crayon drawing and a picture of himself or herself.

"Maybe when my teacher sends it they'll be happy about it," St. Anthony student Kenneth Paiva said, glancing at his colorful crayon drawing of balloons floating through the sky.

"He's gonna see my picture," the six-year-old said of New Jerseyite Alex Duarte, "so I want to meet "him."

Students Damon Gatenby and Melissa Deibert both wrote to New Jersey's Shanny Idiculla, and both plan to send out messages of their own. Damon says that he will use a balloon "because bottles might sink to the bottom of the . ocean."

Melissa will opt for the balloon method as well, "if I can fit the letter in it."

"I hope you like your letter, love, Melissa" is how her message will read, the seven-year-old said.

Tornado survivors see statue as symbol of faith phone interview with The Texas Catholic, newspaper of the Diocese of Dallas, that the people of Saragosa "are showing great trust in God." He said that after the memorial Mass he went out into the community "from house to house, from pile to pile of rubble, really. They were pulling out the few things that were salvageable. The cars were like crushed tin cans."

The bishop said that growing up in Corpus Christi, Texas, he had witnessed many hurricanes "and the dagtage they do does not compare to this."

Officials from the National Weather Service have estimated that the tornado packed winds of between 207 and 260 miles per hour, three times the force of winds in hurricanes.

Bishop Pena said that his major concern "would be to help the families to build their homes. We can address in other ways rebuilding the church but right now I'm very Bishop Pena, who arrived in concerned about being able to Saragosa May 23 and spent sev- help the families because they are eral days in the area, said in a tele- basically poor families."

DALLAS (NC) - From the ruins of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission in Saragosa only a small crucifix, statues of Jesus and St. Joseph were recovered, but the significance was not lost on survivors of the deadly tornado that destroyed the west Texas town May 22.

At a memorial Mass May 24 Bishop Raymond Pena ofEI Paso, in whose diocese Saragosa is located, told some 600 mourners that "the statue of Jesus was a visible sign to the people of Saragosa of his presence among you. It tells us that Jesus has not abandoned you, he lives in this community."

The tornado struck the predominantly Hispanic town about 8:20 p.m. May 22, killing 29 people and injuring 121. More than 100 people were attending a preschool graduation ceremony of 4-and 5year-olds at the Saragosa Community Center, where most of the 29 were killed.

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (NC) - A I03-year-old elementary school in Ocean Springs is the first Catholic school to receive the Aplus School Award from Instructor ma~azine.

St. Alphonsus Elementary School, run by Marianite Sisters of the Holy Cross, was chosen by the elementary teachers' magazine out of 600 contestants nationwide.

The school, one of 14 elementary schools of the Biloxi diocese, has 305 pre-kindergarten through sixth grade students.

Judging for the award is bilsed on a school's "effectiveness in the establishment of clear goals, strong "leadership development, collegiality among staff members, professionalism, academic excellence, and response to parents and community."

Mary Harbaugh, Instructor associate editor, said, "We were overwhelmed with St. Alphonsus' family atmosphere where adults demonstrate a caring concern for each of their students and for each other."

........................................................

In his homily Bishop Pena talked of the hope of the Resurrection.

"We feel today much as the disciples did after the crucifixtion of our Lord. We, too, are shattered, lost and confused.

"But Jesus told his disciples, 'I will not abandon you. I will not leave you as orphans.' This speaks to the heart of what has happened in Saragosa. Let Jesus be the source of our strength as we face the-days ahead."

Concelebrating Mass from the back of a flatbed truck parked in front of the remains of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission were Bishop Pena, Father Ed Roden of EI Paso and Father Ralph Barranger, pastor of Christ the King Parish in Balmorhea. The Saragosa church is a mission of Christ the King Parish.

Reached by telephone by the Texas Catholic, Father Barranger declined to be interviewed. "I have to get over to the people," he said.

"My primary obligation is to the people. I don't feel that I am in the right frame of mind to talk right now."

Texas Gov. Bill Clements has declared Saragosa a disaster area and asked President Reagan for federal aid.

Bishop Pena said in the interview that most of the population, which is about 95 percent Catholic, "did not have insurance, and we will have to rely heavily on whatever governmental aid we can get and the aid the church can give."

Jose Castrellon, director of Catholic Counseling services in EI Paso, and Sister Julietta Mendoza, director of Catholic Charities and a member of the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, arrived in Saragosa May 25 to coordinate relief efforts on behalf of the diocese of EI Paso.

Together with the Red Cross, a team from Catholic Counseling Services will counsel survivors "as long as is necessary," Bishop Pena said. Catholic Charities is primarily responsible for helping the survivors rebuild their homes and thejr lives, the bishop said.

A special collection was taken up in the diocese May 24 and a relief fund has been set up to aid the Saragosa survivors. Contributions may be sent to the Diocese of El Paso, 499 St. Matthews St., El Paso, Texas 79907.

John Paul II and officials of the Vatican's Congregation for Bishops, presented its conclusions as its "unanimous judgment."

Archbishop Murphy WASHINGTON (NC) - Archbishop Thomas J. Murphy, new coadjutor archbishop -of Seattle and the man called upon by the Holy See to help heal the wounds of a divisive conflict there, has a reputation as a pastoral, consultative bishop who is at the same time clear and decisive.

"He's a fine man and a good priest. I wouldn't mind him being my bishop," said Father Richard Hynes, president of the National Federation of Priests' Councils who . has worked with the new archbishop on issues facing priests across the United States.

Pope John Paul II on May 27 named Archbishop Murphy, 54, as coadjutor archbishop of Seattle, to work under 65-year-old Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen.

Archbishop Murphy is a native of Chicago and was ordained a priest there in 1958, but he has been bishop of Great Falls-Billings, Mont., since 1978.

He is accustomed to traveling as much as 50,000 miles a year to meet his schedule of ocnfirmation rounds, parish visits, and other meeetings and events in a diocese

In 1981 then-Bishop Murphy made headlines when, amid a nationwide debate over where and how to base the MX missile, he and Bishop Elden Curtiss of Helena issued ajoint statement opposing "not only the deployment of the MX missile in Montana, but the MX missile system itself."

While he has stressed evangelization and priestly vocations as central elements of church life, he has also indicated strong openness to lay ministry, advocated minority rights and labor rights, and defended ·peace activists. In a 1979 speech to the National Catholic Educational Assocation, he -said teaching should be officially recognized by the church as a ministry.

Since 1979 he has been episcopal moderator of the National Apostolate with Mentally Retarded Persons.

He was ordained a priest of the Chicago Archdiocese in 1958. After ordination he continued graduate theo~ogy studies at the seminary, earmng a doctorate.
