Sexual preference bill

Bishops speak

on homosexuality

The Roman Catholic Bish­ ops of the Commonwealth have issued a statement con­ -ceming a bill before the General Court seeking to eliminate "certain discrim­ ination on the basis of sex­ ual preference." The state­ ment follows: At the present time, there is a bill before the General Court of Massachusetts seeking "the elimination of certain discrimina­ tion on the basis of sexual pref­ erence."

During the past few months, the Massachusetts Catholic Con­ ference has been asked to arti­ culate its position on this issue.

These- requests have come not only from legislators who are seeking guidance from us on the Church's stance but also from concerned members of the Cath­ olic Community who feel that the lack of an official statement on this question implies a shift in our posit.ion concerning the mor­ ality of homosexual activity.

Conscious of our role as moral leaders in the community, we, the Roman Catholic Bishops of Massachusetts have decided to explain the posit.ion of the Cath­ olic Church on this matter. We do so because the proposed bill has power to influence the lives of the youth as well as the adults

:Lay 'faction' criticiz·ed

NEW YORK (NC)-Lay Cath­ olics planning to write a state­ ment on church teaching and U.S. economic issues paralolel to an upcoming bishops' pastoral ·Ietter on that subject have made ~hemselves a "faction" within the church, said Bishop J. Fran­ cis Stafford of Memphis, Tenn., in an ,interview May 27.

Members of ,the lay Catholic group have a contribution to make from their experience with economic !"ife, said Bishop Staf­ ford. But, he added, the com­ mittee chaired by Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwau­ kee had established a process for use by anyone wishing to be heard. The committee was chosen by the National Confer­

ence of Catholic Bishops to draft the pastoral.

The American Catholic Com­ mittee, a group based in New York, announced May 16 that it had named a commission, wilth former Treasury Secretary WHo liam Simon as chairman and author Michael Novak as vice chairman, to write a "Letter of the -Laity on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy."

The planned NCCB pastoral is titled "Catholic Social Teach­ ing and the American Economy." .Bishop Stafford, interviewed after an address in the "Shep­ herds Speak" series at St. James Cathedral 'in Brooklyn, said the lay group was unjustifiably an­ ticipating a negative judgment

by the bishops on the Ameri­ ican economic system.

He said the group was acting in a tradition of Catholics who rejected the authority not only of ,local bishops but. of papal teaching on social issues.

The current form of ·this tra­ dition, he said, dates from con­ servative spokesman WiUiam F. Buckley Jr,'s rejoinder, "Mater. si; Magistrar, no" ("Mother, yes; Teacher; no") to iPope John IIXXX's 1961 social encyclical, "Mater et Magistrar."

Bishop Stafford's address at ,the cathedral was titled, "'The Conference of Bishops: A New Vision of Leadership and Au­ thority," He dealt with quesTurn to Page Sixteen

Appeal surpasses $1.5 million

Home run!

The 43rd annual diocesan Catholic Charities Appeal has concluded with a record sum at­ tained, $1,549,527.10. The Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, Bish­ 'op of Fall River, has expressed his delight and conveyed heart­ felt gratitude to aU those in southeastern Massachusetts who contributed to the campaign.

The 1984 Appeal was the f.irst in the history of the diocese to exceed $1.5 million. Monsignor Anthony M. Gomes, diocesan Ap­ peal director, noted that 1984 gifts and pledges surpassed those of the 1983 campaign by more than $84,000.

Funds collected in the Cath­ olic Charities Appeal are dis­ bursed to diocesan °apostolates and institullions to provide social services, educational programs, hospital ministry and a wide variety of pastoraL care initia­ tives.

Friends in business and indus­ try from throughout the diocese contribute to the- Special Gifts phase af the Appeal and mem­ bers of the 113 diocesan parishes extending from the Attleboros to the tip of Cape Cod also con­

wibute to programs utilizing volunteer help and organized in every par!>Chial community.

Bishop Cronin lauded the ef­ forts of Monsignor Gomes and the staff at diocesan appeal headquarters and issued a special message of thanks to Attorney James Quirk Jr. of South Yar­ mouth, lay chairman of the 1984 Appeal.

For the tiirst time in the 43­ year Appeal history, a single parish recorded gifts in excess of $50,000. Leading the 113 par­ ishes in reporting returns was St. Pius X parish of South Yar­ mouth, with a iiinal tally of $51,004, an increment of over $8,000 over the 1983 Jevel of contributions in the centrally­ located Cape parish.

Monsignor Henry T. Munroe, pastor, noted with pride and satisfaction the unprecedented level of .generosity shown by Pius X parishioners. Following closely after the ~e&ding parish came St. Francis Xavier parish of Hyannis, registering returns of $48,164.

By mid-May the number of cardinals able to vote for a pope had been reduced by 20. This 'number will inc~ase to at least 25 if the pope does not name new cardinals by the end of October. /

Vacancies for papal electors are created when a cardinal un­ der age 80 dies or when a car· dinal turns 80 and can no longer . vote for a pope. Under rules es­ tablished by Pope Paul VI, the maximum number of: cardinals under 80 is 120. There is no limit on the number over 80.

When the pope will announce new cardinals and who they wiH be are closely guarded secrets, according to many Vatican offi­ cials.

J. O'Connor of New York and Archbishop Bernard Law of Bos­ ton. Both replaced cardinals who died in office.

Several other U.S. archbishops lead sees normally headed by a cardinal but are ,less likely can­ didates because they replaced cardinals -living in retirement.

Among, them are A'rchbishop James Hickey of. Washington, Archbishop William Borders of Baltimore, Archbishop Edmund Szoka of Detroit and Archbishop John May of St. Louis.

Other cardinals could be drawn from the arohdioceses of Utrecht, Netherlands; Sydney, Australia; Florence, Italy; Bologna, Italy; Guatemala City; Santiago, Chile; Sucre, Bolivia; Munich, West Germany; and Lyon, France.

Top Vatican possibilities are Belgian Archbishop Jean Jerome of the Vatican Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes, Irish Archbishop Dermot Ryan of the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of iPeoples, and German Archbishop Augus­ tin Mayer of the Vatican Con­ gregation for the Sacraments and the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship.

Political Energy

No matter what happens in days to come, the current presidential campaign has made a historic impact on Amer· ican politics. Aside from a hyperventilated media which already has induced overkill, some things have taken place which will have far-reaching effects on our,political system.

These ,implications have been introduced not by the so-called front runners, Mondale and Hart, but by. Jesse Jackson; At the outset of the campaign some looked upon Reverend Jackson's presidential ambitions with a rather sarcastic grin. Well, time and talent have certainly caught many presumed professionals by surprise. Jackson has per­ formed with consummate ability to surprise, amaze and outrage many a political old-timer. .

First and foremost Jackson is a power broker. He has a power to encourage voter registration that is the envy of many elected officials. His efforts among potential black voters are unprecedented. The surprise here is that he has . . t­ .~ wooed such an overwhelming number of blacks to his camp while many elected black officials have gone along with the party-as-usual,mentality, at least overtly. 'f·''.' ' '.!;.if.• An element often overlooked is that for the first time a serious' black pre~identifll contender has appealed to a i­ combination of circumstances unique to the black com­ munity.

The black church, has long been the only refuge for many of its members in their long struggle not merely for equality, but sUI'\~ival itself. The black h~art and soul have found in religion a dramatic and dynamic outlet.

Jackson's very fibre reflects this in all he has done and is doing. He is a moving, articulate and. forceful SUNDAY: A DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS preacher. His very presence charges his' he'arers, some . positively, others negatively.

McCall said sexually abused adolescents tend to be less ag­ gressive and more depressed and can feel guilty that they di~n't resist sooner.

"Sexual abuse often occurs in what appears to be a positive family relationship. It is not a case of being forced. The child gets special favors from the abusing parent. They are told they have something special," he said.

Sexually abused girls are con­

Dear Dr. Kenny: I am a 23-year-old white woman who has been involved with a 26-year-old black man for 14 months. We were friends for 16 months prior to dating. There Is no denying we truly love each other.

My problem stems from my family. Although both my par­ ents were actively involved in the NAAOP and other black groups even before the ClvU Rights Act was passed, they are trying to discourage my relation­ ship. Five of my nine siblings agree. My parents supported many interracial couples • • • until their own daughter was in­ volved.

Their major concern is for the bigotry any chIldren we have would face. I understand they are worried about our happiness.

They have indicated complete love and support should we de­ cide to marry, but they em:our­ age our breakup. This contradicts what they taught me while I was growing up.

After 14 months of dating, I am well aware of the hatred and narrow-mindedness in the world.

By dissolving our feIationship, wouldn't we be giving in to this hatred rather than combating it with love? - Pennsylvania Marriage is the ultimate test of prejudice. Many libera'ls like your parents believe in equal opportunity and have close friendships, but "not with my daughter you don't."

Your parents say they are worried about how bigotry will affect children of mixed race.

Yes, that will be something of a handicap, but not one that cim. not be overcome.

What about children who have physical or mental handicaps?

What about abused children?

What about children whose par­ ents do not want them? Surely mixed race does not compare to other problems children face.

Your parents are ignoring the great progress made in racial relations in the last 35 years.

While problems still exist, the climate is much improved and we can be optimistic about the future.

Some time ago we wrote on interracial marriage. We received responses from interracial couples who had married years ago . and from children, now adults who had grown up in such families. Their overwhelm· ing opinion was that a loving, stable commitment' to each other and to their family was their greatest asset. They enjoyed good friendships. People who reo jected them because of skin color were people they did not need.

You are t~' experts in inter­ !racial u~erstanding. As Y9u write, you are more aware of the hatred and narrow-minded­ ness than anyone else. Use the wisdom and good counsel of your family. But in the end, trust your own choice.

Marriage is always a risk. No one knows fully the future. The best-planned arrangements can go sour. On the other hand, prob­ :tems can tum out ,to be oppor· tunities for growth. If you anti­ cipate problems, you can avoid them or face them directly.

The prejudice of others can draw you and your finance more closely together. Sharing any hurts, you may plan ways to win over the friendship and love of people who put you down. You may teach that same extra-lov· ing response to your children.

Jesus taught the brotherhood of humankind. All people are created equal!. Color is a super­ ficial difference. Black. white or mixed, we have an equal right to happiness - arid a right to marry each other.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The mission of Catholic charismatic groups is based on their partici­ pation in local churches, Pope John Paul II recently told a group of charismatic leaders.

Speaking to 300 participants in the fifth international confer­ ,ence of leaders of the Catholic charismatic renewal, Pope John Paul said he interPreted their meeting in Rome and their choice of sacramental themes as "a de­ cision to return to the sources."

"The church's mission is to proclaim Christ to the world.

And you share effectively in this mission insofar as your groups and communities are rooted in the local churches, in your dio­ ceses and parishes," the pope said.

"It is at the sacramental heart of the church, and at the sacra­ mental heart of your local ,churches, that your life as bap­ tized and confirmed Christians can be ceaselessly renewed," he said.

Openness to the Holy Spirit, the pope told the group, is "your strength and your special treas­ ure, and you are striving to ex· ercise it in different ways. But this gift from God is also a fra­ gile treasure and one which you must take special care of."

"It is for this reason that your international meeting at the center of the church, at a time so strongly marked by the jubi­ lee of the redemption, can be of decisive importance for the whole Catholic charismatic re­ newal," .th'3 pope said.

Nine to attend NECCSM parley Father Peter N. Graziano will head a delegation of nine repre­ sentatives of the Diocesan De­ partment of Social Services to the seventh annual conference of the New England Catholic Coun. cil on Social Ministries.

The NECCSM parley will be held June 6 and 7 at Anna Maria College, Paxton. With the theme "Peacemaking: Let It Begin with Us," participants will examine issues of human rights, social justice and world peace.

Keynote speakers will include Auxiliary Bishop Peter S. Rosaz­ za of Hartford, Conn., who will discuss a bishop's view of lay ministry; Rev. Thomas Harvey. executive director of the Na­ tional Conference of Catholic Charities, whose topic will be the role of service, advocacy and convening in planning for future social needs; and Sister Mariam Therese MacGillis, OP, of Global Education Associates, who will consider steps to be taken to­ wards .achieving a new world order.

Other conference topics will include sexual abuse of children. the !l'ole of single adults, the morality of war, parish renewal, the theology of the church as an employer and adult foster care as an alternative to nursing home placement.

St. Anne's gets . neonatal equipment St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, has. acquired neonatal blood pres­ sure monitoring equipment for use with infants during surgery.

According tQ Dr. Andre Nas­ ser, chief anesthiologist, the equipment provides accurate blood pressure and heart rate readings for infants weighing 15 pounds .or less. It also prints out the readings at one minute inter­ vals, thus supplying a perman­ ent record, which is especially valuable for lengthy surgeries.

MACEDO [

The new monitoring equip­ ment is widely used in major teaching hospitals. St. Anne's anesthetists studied ,its use at Rhode Island Hospital prior to recommending its use at the Fall River hospital.

In late November, the series appeared in Our Sunday Visitor, a national Catholic weekly, and several of the photos have been used in successful CRS promo­ tions.

A series of color photographs

by Suau depicting the severity of the Ethiopian drought, now in its third year, earned him the Pulitzer award for photo journal­ ism, announced last month.

Suau hopes that other repro­ ductions of his award-winning photographs wUl have a further consciousness-raising effect.

His intention to give ,the money to CRS was revealed during a visit to his parents in Peoria. He also visited CRS in New York City.

"They (CRS) need the money worse than I do," Suau, 27, said.

"What am I going to do with $1,0,00 - buy a new camera?"

Suau credits CRS, the only American relief agency currently working in many of the drought­ affected areas, with providing assistance before and during his three-week trip to eastern Africa.

"They supplied me with every­ thing I needed," he said, inolud­ ing information on passport and visa, ground transportation -in­ side Ethiopia, and interpreters during his photographic trip.

Now a photographer with tlle Denver Post, Suau made his Ethiopia trip independently, spending about $5,000 of his own money to do so. The Denver Post was the first to print his photo series, which included scenes of food lines, several malnourished children and a woman trying to obtain water from a dried mud· hole.

lVIerton documentary Tuesday

By Henry Herx NC News Service Following World War H, the nation was beset by uncertain­ ties - unemployment, inflation, an emerging Cold War and, above all, the shadow of the bomb.

In this time of searching for direction, many found help in the writings of the man profiled in "Merton: ~ Film Biography of Thomas Merton," airing Tues­ day, June 5, 10-11 p.m. EDT on PBS. In his 1948 autobiography "The Seven Storey Mountain," the ~ate Father Merton re­ counted his spiritual journey from his youth and schooling in the pleasures of mind and body, his conversion to Catholicism and the peace he tinally found as a Trappist monks of Gethse­ mani Abbey in Kentucky. His story touched a nerve in an American public hungry for values beyond those of the con­ sumer society and the book be­ came an instant best seller.

But it is upon Father Merton's later works that his stature as a thinker and teacher is based.

His writings on Christian mysti­ cism and the contemplative life intertwined with his concern for social justice and doubts regard­ ing political' authoritarianism.

His greatest contribution to 20th­ century spirituality was in trying to heal the rift between the sa­ cred and the secular.

Some applauded him not so much because he "opened new ways but reopened old ways that we had forgotten," in the words of Archbishop Jean Jadot, former apostolic delegate 4n the United States.

Others, however, were disturb­ ed by Father Merton's outspoken criticism of nuclear armaments and racism. When several of his articles appeared ,in The Cath­ olic Worker, he was denounced as a communist and his abbot ordered him to cease writing for publication on war and peace issues.

Father Merton obeyed but con­ tinued his critical attacks on American policies in the private­ ~y circulated "Cold War Letters."

This body of his work is pro­ phetic and ,its moral perspective perhaps is ·apprec.iated even more today than it was then.

This film portrait, produced

by Paul WHkes and Audrey Glynn, succeeds remarkably well in portraying the life and multiple careers ..:.. author, poet, social critic, contemplative, spiritual teacher - of a com­ plex personality, shown only through· some still photographs, a brief 8MM film footage of his ordination and a film of a 1968 lecture he gave at a Buddhist­ Christian conference in Bang­ kok, Thailand, hours before his death.

Part of the reason it works so weH is that much of dt is told in Merton's own words as voiced with feeling by Gregory Abels.

Wilkes' script compresses Father Merton's diverse talents and in­ terests into a compact, wen­ organizep narration delivered by Alexand~r Scourby.

Also dptegral to the success of this ~rtrait is the testimony of

Among the many interviewed for the program were the Dalai Lama, folksinger Joan Baez, publisher Robert Giroux, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Sister of Loretto Mary Luke Tobin.

Of special interest is Father Mertons student, Father Ernesto to Cardenal, now minister of culture in 'Nicaragua. He explains that Father Merton taught him "we couldn't consider ourselves as contemplatives unless we al­ so committed ourselves to every aspect of the community - its political, its social, its economi­ cal life."

Finally, mention' must be made of the extraordinary skill of ·the camera wdrk by Thomas Hurwitz. His beautiful images of nature provide passages of vis­ ual poetry and interior silences, entirely appropriate to the docu- ' mentary's subject.

Fr. Schillebeeckx to be in Chicago CHICAGO ~C) - Dominican Father Edward Schillebeeckx will join the faculty of the Cath­ olic theological Union in Chicago as a lecturer and scholar-in· residence for the 1985 spring term, CTU announced.

The Belgian-born theologian, 69, was one of the aeading theo· Jogians at the Second Vatican Council. He retired last year I as professor of dogmatics at the University' of Nijmegen, Nether· , lands.

A widely known and contro­ versial author and lecturer, in 1979 he was called to Rome by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the, Faith to ex· plain his writings on several mat­ ters of Catholic belief regarding Christ.

He was the first theologian in the postconciHar era to answer such a call. After the inquiry, the doctrinal congregation ac­ knowledged the orthodoxy of the views it had questioned. It has sim:e' requested clarifications of other views on Christ and on the priesthood held by the theo­ logian, however. cru is the largest Catholic theological school in the United States with nearly 350 students. half of whom are studying for the priesthood. It is the official ,theological school for 23 pro· vinces and abbeys of men's reli­ gious orders.

Home run Continued from page one sum received, $35,190.25. All told, 107 diocesan parishes re­ ported gains over returns from a year ago.

Bishop Cronin, reiterating his thanks to supporters of the Ap­ peal, noted that diocesan agen­ cies and institutions will once again' be assured of the resources needed to extend the healing touch of Christ to those in need.

The generosity shown .in the parishes was particularly com­ mended by the bishop, who praised ,the clergy and 'lay volun­ teers who prov:ided devoted leadership at the local level.

Most notable among the cast are Ohiver Reed as the nobleman who befriends' the real prince, Rex Hamson as a hu-. mane but wily duke and George C. Scott as leader of an outlaw band.

Q. How ean you really teD asa result of drug abuse, he or It you are on dnIgs or not?· she is an addict.

"If a young person withdraws (Ohio)

A. This query ~s vague. Is the questioner worried about true drug addiction? And what is that anyway?

To clarify m~tters I tailked to Eric, a drug counselor. He too was struck by the vagueness of the question.

"It's hard to know," he said, "just what the questioner is trying to find out But it seems to me tlt.at asking the question is a fairly certain sign that he or she has some kind of drug problem.

I asked Eric how you can know if a person is suffering from drug addiction. His answer was firm and explicit.

"If some drug is interfering with your ute in any way, then you are suffering from drug ad­ diction.

"If a guy finds that he no longer participates in sports be­ . cause of a drug habit, then drugs are interfering with his Ufe. He's an addict.

"If a young person finds that his or her grades are dropping

•

·-In

from family life, or gives up going to Sunday Mass~ or sud­ denly begins eating ~ess, and if such behavior is traceable to the use of drugs, then that person is definitely 'on drugs'. and is an addict, and is In trouble."

What might that person do?

One possibility is to call some­ one ,like Eric. To find Eric him­ self like I 100ked in the Yellow Pages under "Crisis In­ tervention Service."

Nothing was listed under "Drugs" so I caUed "Eastway Total Mental Health Care." The key word was "total." The proper use of drugs is very much a part of mental health.

I then asked for a drug coun­ selor, who turned out ,to be Eric.

He was a fine combination of iil1lJness and· gentleness. With­ out ever being nasty, he would make bis caUers and clients face reality.

If you think you are on drugs, why not go to the phone and call a drug counselor. You'U prob­ ably find someone like Eric.

Sexual preference bill

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., June 1., 1984

Continued· from page one find themselves through no fault of their own to have a homo­ sexual orientation. Homosexuals, ·like everyone else, should not suffer from prejudice against · their basic human rights. They have a right to respect, friend­ ship and justice."

In reply to those who have re­ quested our opinion of the bill presently before the legislature, we now ~ish to present some serious pastoral concerns which will place us among those mem­ bers of the Commonwealth who · oppose its passage.

First,' experience has shown that the passage of aegislation of this type will be seen by many as a step toward legal approval of the homosexual lifestyle. Our concern in' this regard is heigh­ tened by a common perception · ·in our country that'whatever is declared legal, by that very fact, becomes moraHy right. The tragic abortion experience of the past ten years in the United States bears out the necessity for caution in these matters.

Thus, our failure to oppose this bill could give rise to the false · impression that the Catholic Church accepts the homosexual lifestyle as a morally feasible option. ~econdly, the Catholic Church, in her hiring practice is obliged to reflect her stance 'on the mor­ ali-ty of sexual activity. She has · the right and the duty to estab­ 'lish certain standards of con~ duct for everyone she employs. · If the Church favors this' bill as it stands, it is quite possible that an improper interpretation of it may be advanced in the future denying hiring discretion when­ ever legitimate questions arise

about the appearance, lifestyle and activity of certain homosex­

ual employees.

In voicing our opposition to the passage of this biB, we must state pubHcly our disapproval of the unjust harassment of homo-

sexuals by members of the het­ erosexual community. Such be­ havior is unconscionable and it must be stopped. However, we are of the opinion that this will be achieved only by a process of consciousness raising leading heterosexuals to proper respect for persons who happen to be homosexuals..What we need is education and a change of heart, not new and ill-advised legisla­ tion.

Such are our prayerful 'ana heartfelt concerns. about the passage of this bill. For the rea­ sons stated above, we do .not favor its approval by our legis­ lature.

We do not-' deny that some members of our Church have homosexual orientation. There is . room in our Church for evel"J­ one. Homosexuals, too, are our brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Our decision to' stand ,in op­ position to the passage of this bill must not be ,seen, therefore, as indifference to the serious difficulties experienced by peo­ ple who are homosexuals. Even though we take a firm moral stance on this issue and have many questions about the legi­ timacy of homosexuill lifestyle, we urge proper respect for the rights of every citizen of the Commonwealth. We will do all

in our power to dispel the unfor­

tunate myths and misunderstand­

ings related to this issue. Finally,

we stand in opposition to every

form of harassment and unjust

discrimination directed against homosexuals and we respect them fully as fellow pilgrims on our earthly journey toward the kingdom of God. 'Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin Bishop of Fall River MoSt Rev. Timothy J.

Lay 'factiol)' criticized Continued from page one tions arising from' the NeOB's 1983 pastoral letter, "ToheChal­ lenge-of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response."

In the address, he quoted criti­ .cism of a preliminary draft of the war and peace pastora'l by Buckley, who in April 1983 called the pastoral an "assault on right thought."

The bishop said such dismissal of,' Catholic. social teaching, along with communism and. modern technology, is among forces 'ileeking to "marginalize" the Ohristian faith.

In the course of debate over

the pastoral, Bishop Stafford said. one questiori that surfaced was the nature of 'the teaching authority of bishops' confer­ ences. It was stated that though an individual bishop. can teach and aU bishops together in union w~th the bishop of ROI!1e have teaching authority, a national conference of bishops has no clear teaching_mandate. as such.

Bishop Stafford acknowledged that he could fin4 little support

~n canon law for the teaching authority of a bishops' confer­ ence; but he said, "No matter what canon law mayor may not say about the power of the episcopal conferences to teach,

it is my experience that ·there is

a theological power in the group

that 'is more than the sum of

what is in the individual bish­

ops. The reason is that the bish­ ops do form a 'communion' (community) among themselves even in smaHer groups, and the -bond of 'communion' enhances their-capacity to witness and to proclaim. the truth."

"In my judgment," the bishop continued, "o.ur present canon law, I mean the new one, re­ mains gravely deficient in giving a scope to episcopal collegiality."

As examples of the signifi­ cance of teaching and action by groups of bishops, Bishop Staf­ ford cited the work of the Latin American bishops' council at meetings in MedeMin, Colombia,. in 1968 and in Puebla, Mexico, in 1979.
