Preserve values, pope tells Malta Catholics VALLETTA. Malta (CNS) Pope John Paul II's weekend visit to Malta focused on the need to protect the nation from negative values of outside cultures.

The steep bastions that surround Malta's older cities have not protected the nation of 350,000 from materialism, drug abuse and the breakup of families.

But the pope's May 25-27 visit also was a time of celebration for the Mediterranean nation. The 52hour visit included three separate 21-cannon salutes, and the limestone walls that drop to the sea were draped with yellow, white and red banners - the colors of the papal and Maltese flags.

Malta's population is more than 98 percent Catholic, and most Catholics attend Mass each week, according to the Malta archdiocesan information office. Abortion and divorce are illegal, but the number of legal separations is increasing.

"As we approach the third Christian millennium, our dominant culture shows signs of a weakening of moral commitment and a narrow sense of spiritual inspiration," the pope said at a May 27 meeting with intellectuals.

"It is necessary to reaffirm adamantly the primacy of ethics over technology, the primacy of 'being' over 'having,' " he said.

"As we look to Eastern Europe and observe the collapse of materialistic ideologies which sought to deprive man of his very soul, we cannot fail to notice elsewhere the rise of a practical materialism, a new idolatry, which also threatens the spirit," he said during a May 27 Mass.

A strong family life is the first defense against social ills, the pope said several times during the visit.

"Like many societies, yours is not immune to a kind of spiritual disorientation caused by rapid social changes and the attraction of value systems and modes of behavior which run counter to the deepest convictions that have molded your identity as a people," he said at a May 26 Mass outside

the Marian shrine of Ta' Pinu on the island of Gozo.

"I ask aU of you to pray with me that Malta's families will be the crucible in which your society will forge a renewed commitment to the Gospel values, which are its most precious inheritance from the past," he said.

The pope also made repeated appeals for reconciliation in the political life of the population, which is almost equally divided between the socialist Labor Party and the Nationalist Party, a Christian .Democratic body.

"You have shared with me some of the hurt which you feel at the divisiveness and hostility you see around you," the pope said at a meeting with more than 15,000 young people.

"The building of peace between individuals or within social groups requires great patience, respect for the convictions of others and a sincere attempt to engage in a constructive dialogue aimed at discerning the truth and working together for the good of each other and all society," he said.

The first day of his visit, the pope asked the ruling Nationalist Party leaders to continue churchstate negotiations aimed at overturning several anti-church laws enacted by the Labor Party in the 1970s and 1980s.

With the election of a Christian Democratic government in 1987, negotiations began on two main issues of concern to' the church: ownership of property and funding of private schools.

The pope told government leaders, including President Censu Tabone and Prime Minister Edward Fenech Adami, that although the negotiations are not complete, they have had positive results.

The volume of the welcoming cannon blasts was matched almost everywhere the pope went with greetings of "Long live the pope" in Maltese. The streets where the pope's motorcade were to travel were repaved in anticipation of his visit, and the bordering trees were Turn to Page Six

OUR LADY OF ANGELS CHURCH

Diamond year for parish, pastor June will be a memorable month for Our Lady of Angels parish, Fall River. Not only will the parish mark its 75th anniversary, but its pastor, Rev. Anthony M. Gomes, also 75, who assumed his duties 29 years ago this month, is retiring from active ministry.

He is much beloved by his flock, many of whose younger members have never known another pastor.

Among them is Dolores Motta, whose photographs of Our Lady of Angels accompany this article and who has served on the com- . mittee preparing for the gala 75th jubilee Mass to be celebrated by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin at Our Lady of Angels at 4 p.m. Sunday, ' June 10, and to be followed by a dinner and ball at White's of Westport.

"He's a wonderful priest and an asset to the diocese of Fall River.

He'l be greatly missed," she said.

Among projects of the diamond jubilee committee, headed by John Branco, has been preparation of a parish history. It follows: A jubilee is, as it always has

been, the commemoration of a great event in the life of a people, of a race, of a nation. It brings with it solemn rejoicing and a d:lebration of accomplishment brought about through labor and sacrifice.

The Portuguese people of North America, and in a very particular manner, the people of Our Lady of the Angels parish, are rejoicing in the celebration of a great event, the Diamond Jubilee of the founding of their community dedicated to the worship of God and the preservation of their PortugueseAmerican heritage. For these things we are most thankful.

75 Years of Faith Ecclesiastical authority sanctioned creation of a new Fall River parish to be named Our Lady of the Angels. It was established canonically on the sixth day of September in the year of Our Lord 1915.

Parishioners first attended services in the lower church of neighboring St. Patrick's parish. The first two Masses were conducted on Sunday, Oct. 14, 1915, each

Mass concluding with Benediction of the Blessed sacrament. This was the humble beginning of our parish community.

Sanity "Money-giving is a very good criterion of a person's mental health. Generous people are rarely mentally iii."- Menninger

MINNEAPOLIS (CNS) - The argument that male terms in prayer should be retained because that's what's in the Bible is being challenged by a multilingual priest now on sabbatical in the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Vincentian Father Joseph Arackal, a native Qf India, pored over original biblical texts for his doctoral thesis in ministry, which was awarded him in 1989 by the Minnesota Consortium of Theology Schools of the Twin Cities.

The original texts, Father Arackal said, were much more inclusive. Translations into English caused the problems, he added.

Father Arackal's native tongue, Malayalam, "has a terminology for the divine," he told the Catholic Bulletin, archdiocesan newspap.er.

English, he said, is limited because it has relatively few forms for nouns and pronouns.

"The common gender form is not available in English," Father Arackal said. "That is the root problem of sexist language," although he said he prefers the term "inclusive," saying the issue involves "much more than sexism."

"Inclusive language recognizes the value of all human beings and does not limit their understanding of God," Father Arackal wrote in the introduction to his, thesis.

"Inclusive and exclusive language goes beyond sexist language. Wherever discrimination exists, there is the possibility of the use of exclusive language."

Father Arackal, who in addition to English and his native tongue knows Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Hindi and Sanskrit. found 2.000 uses of the word "man" in the Old Testament. He said several words, such as "adam," in the original Hebrew often simply mean "human being," without regard to gender.

"English couldn't duplicate that, so translators just went with 'man,'" Father Arackal told the Catholic Bulletin. "When you compare it with the original form and language. Father Arackal said, "almost 90 percent of the' exclusive words can be eliminated."

Of the 450 pages in Father Arackal's thesis. 200 are a proposed revision to the sacra men-

tary, the priest's book of prayers used at Mass. He is now preparing an inclusive language text of the Psalms.

Father Arackal also has a threestep suggestion for individual parishes to become familiar with inclusive language.

The first step would involve the use of inclusive language in speech patterns and parish bulletins and other publications. The second step expands inclusive language to homilies, classrooms and parishproduced worshop materials. The final step uses inclusive language in prayer services. in ail cases, Father Arackal urged remaining faithful to the· intent of the original text.

"When I have doubts, I go to how it was used originally," he said. "Forme, use of inclusive language at all levels is a matter of justice. By using inclusive-language texts ofthe Bible, we will be showing our respect for the revealed word of God in its original beauty."

THE ANCijOlf':": Oiocese'of ralfRive路r路...:..: Fi-i.; June 1; 1990

themoorin~ A Sorrowful Problem In 1984, Pope John Paul II wrote an apostolic letter, "Year of Redemption," in which he appealed for an international statute protecting Jerusalem as a city sacred to Christian, Moslem and Jew. Calling for the attention of politician~, of others responsible for the destiny of peoples and of those in charge of international organizations, the pope described the plight of Jerusalem and of all who call it home.

The 1984 papal plea takes on added urgency today considering the recent leasing and settlement by Jewish fundamentalists of a complex of Greek Orthodox buildings in the Christian quarter of Jerusalem. Behind the scenes, the Israeli government had secretly provided $1.8 million to help the settlers buy the lease through a Panamanian intermediary.

This acknowledged deception, especially coming as it did in Holy Week, angered and upset the Christian community in Jerusalem and on Holy Thursday police used tear gas and clubs to displace Christians demonstrating against the occupation. In the melee, the Greek Orthodox patriarch was pushed to the ground.

Subsequently, in protest against the Israeli action, for the first time in 800 years the doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher were closed. ' This incident underlines the wisdom of the Holy See in urging international regulation of the Holy Places. For decades the church in the state of Israel has been affected by violent events. It should be obvious that Jerusalem deserves special status and that its unique sacred character should be preserved.

It is, however, painfully obvious from this recent distressing incident that the entrenched minds that do not want to address the question of Jerusalem are further compromising the longed-for peaceful and just settlement of the entire Middle East crisis.

In a time when closer ties are needed among the various religious faiths of not merely Jerusalem but indeed the whole' world, anything that' deliberately distracts and detracts from fulfillment of this goal is to be deplored. Where it was plotted by state officialdom, it is to be condemned.

Israelshould be more than embarrassed by its premeditated violation of the pledges it made to the Christian communities at-t.he time of its 1948 foundation as an independent state. Such actions lend little credibility to the nation's claim of religious sensitivity. As the world watches, it is now attempting to resolve the crisis for which it is responsible.

The Holy See and indeed all Christian churches have continuously prayed that Jerusalem stand as a living sign of the great ideals of unity, brotherhood and' agreement among believing people. This objective is close to the hearts of all who wish to "go up to the mountain ofthe Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob (Is. 2:3)." At the same time, as the words of Isaiah bring hope to people of good will, we should note that the prophet also declared that for Zion's sake, he would not keep silent and for Jerusalem's sake he would not rest until she shone forth in God's brightness and was glorious in his salvation (Is. 62: 1).

In the words of the pope, may all of us pray that everyone involved in this crisis has the heart to seek solutions inspired by justice and respect for the rights of all.

Only this'will be the final answer to the sorrowful problem of Jerusalem.

MSGR. HIGGINS

Golden jubilarian WASHINGTON (CNS) Msgr. George G. Higgins, retired secretary for special concerns at the U.S. Catholic Conference, celebrated Mass May 16 at USCC headquarters in Washington to mark his 50th anniversary of ordination.

USCC general secretary Msgr.

Robert Lynch, in remarks during the Mass, said, "When George talks ... the whole church in this country listens. Perhaps there is some wo'man or man out there" to fill his shoes as a champion. of causes "from the farm worker to the unborn." But if Msgr. Higgins is "the yardstick by which future prophetic witness is to be measured, then God help·that person."

Msgr. Higgins, a Chicago native, joined the social action department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, as the USCC was then known, in 1944, and was its director from 1954 to 1972.

He became secretary for research and then secretary for special concerns when the USCC was reorganized in 1972. Since retirement in 1980 he has lectured at Catholic University in Washington.

Since 1945 Msgr. Higgins has written a Catholic News Servicesyndicated column on labor issues, for which he won the 1984 St. Francis de Sales Award from the Catholic Press Association. . U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., praised Msgr. Higgins in a May 14 session of the Senate.

"Almost from the moment of his ordination," Moynihan said, "George Higgins has played a singular role, that of the labor priest, advocating the rights and the responsibilities of working people and of trade unions in American life, and of socialjustice in all of the institutions of our democracy."

That's what they call John Paul II in many languages. In fact, that's what "Pope" really means.

The Holy Father's mission is to bring the Good News of God's overpowering love to the whole world. He does this in many practical ways. When it comes to suffering people, need, not creed, is his first concern.

The Pope knows where the needs are greatest all over the world. From eastern Europe to the Middl~ East to India his special agency is Catholic Near East Welfare Association.

Please, send what you can to help the Holy Father care for God's children everywhere.

cial services were conducted a,nd a sermon was preached by the Reverend Antonio M. Fortuna, then ,assistant at Santo Christo Church, Fall River.

The Holy Rosary Society for' women was established Aug. 19, 1917, and a day nursery bearing the name of St. John was estabIished Aprilll,.1917,on Tuttle Street. The rectory at the corner of Kilburn and Dwelly Streets was used by the parish priests for the first time March 19, 1916.

The first pastor, Rev. Joseph G. Toledo, served fr~m Sept. 6, 1915, to March 16, 1920. Succeeding pastors were Rev. Dario A. Raposo, March, 1920 - May, 1923; the Rev. A.P. Santos, June, 1923December, 1924; Rev. Antonio M. Fortuna, December, 1924 -J une, 1930; Rev. Adriano Moniz, D.D., 1930 - 1950; Rev. Antonio O. Ponte during 1951; Rev. Joseph L.' Cabral, 1951 - 1959; and the Rev. Jaime V. Mendes, February, 1960 until his death in May of 1961. The Rev. Anthony M. Gomes, present pastor, assumed his duties on June 28, 1961.

Father Gomes was elevated to the rank of domestic prelate with the title of Right Reverend. His Holiness Pope Paul VI accorded him this honor in a decree dated Jan. 30, 1964. The investiture ceremony took place at St.,Mary's Cathedral April21, 1964, with His Excellency, the Most Reverend James L. Connolly, officiating.

The first assistant appointed to the parish was the Rev. Theophile Oliveira in 1928. The Rev. A.C. Branco was the second priest assigned as curate. The following priests have also served our parish: Rev. Luciano Pereira, Rev. Manuel Andrade, Rev. A.M.S. Greaves, Rev. Joaquim A. Fortuna, Rev. Ernesto R. Borges, Rev. RobertJ. Laughlin, Rev. Jorge de Souza, Rev. George F. Almeida, Rev.

Joaquimda Silva, C.M., and Rev. Evaristo Tavares. Many of these priests are now pastors of their own parishes.

Our Lady ofthe Angels has also been served by Dominican priests and currently Jesuit priests stationed at Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River are assisting our pastor in providing for the spiritual needs of the parish.

In recent years, the exterior and interior of the church have been renovated and decorated. The parish hall has been refurbished and a modern kitchen has been added to provide for social activities. A new parking lot in the rear of the church provides ample parking for parishioners and guests.

Fiftieth Anniversary On August 22, 1965, the 50th anniversary of Our Lady of the Angels parish was observed. A large committee, chaired by Antone Michaels, planned an appropriate celebration. The anniversary Mass, at which the Most Reverend James L. Connolly was principal celebrant, was concelebrated by the parish priests and priests who had· formerly served at Our Lady of the Angels.

Following the Mass, a banquet was held at the nearby National Guard Armory on Dwelly Street.

An anniversary ball, with music. provided by Vincent Lopez, was held the night before the Mass and banquet. It too was held at the armory and was a gala event with a capacity crowd of parishioners, priests and civic dignitaries in attendance.

In December of 1970, the Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, the newly installed Bishop' of Fall River, visited Our Lady of the Angels during the Christmas season. He concelebrated Mass and presented the Christ Child for veneration. After the Mass, Monsignor Gomes introduced and welcpmed the bishop to parishioners at the parish hall, where he greeted and conversed with the hundreds of people who attended the affair.

In 1975, the parish purchased' a new Allen organ which nicely complemented the electronic carillon which had been installed a number of years earlier. By means of a keyboard attached to the organ, the organ and chimes can be played together. .

As well as Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II has bestowed honors on Monsignor Gomes, raising him to the rank of Protonotary Apostolic. Bishop Cronin presented a papal diploma attesting to this honor to Monsignor Gomes at an Advent Vespers ceremony on November 29, 1987, at St. Mary's Cathedral. He was also honored at a testimonial given by the parish family on Dec. 13, 1987, at Our Lady of the Angels parish hall.

In years, Our Lady ofthe Angels is an old parish, yet its people and their aspirations are vibrantly young and alive. Our Lady of the Angels is a generous parish and all who visit leave impressed by the friendliness and reverent simplicity of its people.

Faithful to their ancestry, the Portuguese-American parishioners of Our Lady of the Angels are attempting to live the lofty and great· ideals of Christianity which have been, for so many years, the fabric of their lives.

As we celebrate 25 years of history, please, Lord, let our accomp. lishments .b.e but a foretaste of what is yet to come.

Minimum "Justice is love's absolute minimum." - Pope Paul VI

Sponsors aid India'-s poo'r.

MADISON, Conn. (CNS) Thanks to help from the United States, one family in India can now keep a few fish to eat rather than to sell, the children can attend school, and the parents can now go out at the same time rather than have to share one set of clothes.

Those stories were related by Al Ouimet, a Connecticut man who 17 years ago began an apostolate to the poor in India, in an interview with The Catholic Transcript, newspaper for the Archdiocese of Hartford and dioceses of Bridgeport and Norwich.

In 1972 Ouimet founded the Franciscan Family Apostolate, which now has 781 sponsors for families in southern India.

A dollar goes a long way in India. A two-room, brick house can be built for $1,000, he said, and the government will put up half the money if someone else can provide the rest. In the last year, the apostolate has built a dozen houses there.

Ouimet said his connection with India began when his wife, Mary, became seriously ill. He vowed that if she recovered he would devote himself to the poor. She did, and he joined the secular Franciscan order.

It was through the Franciscans that he learned of the desperate poverty in southern India.

His apostolate seeks sponsors who will give $15 to $25 a month to a family. Of that, $1.25 goes to a fund for community projects.

Sponsors receive histories of their families.

In addition to building houses, the apostolate's projects include buying cows, converting a factory into a 40-bed clinic, and teaching women to make salabie 'items from coconut and palm leaves. There also is a school lunch program and a dowry fund.

"Women have no chance for security unless they marry," Ouimet said, "and if they can't scrape up money for a dowry, no one wants them."

Ouimet visited India to see what the money was buying in 1986..

"Living conditions were even worse than I had imagined;''' he said, "but people have great dignity and are extremely gracious.

Their gratitude to the sponsors was overwhelming."

Ouimet, who now goes to India every year, credits his wife with "being the glue that's held the whole thing together."

She does the bookkeeping at night, looks after four children and teaches school.

"I'd say apostolates such as ours have to be an outgrowth of your relationship with God," he said.

The Indians, he said, have a way of greeting one aryother. "With clasped hands, they bow and say, 'namaste,' which means, 'the spirit in me greets the spirit in you.'

That's really what the apostolate's all about." .

More information on the apostolate is available from Ouimet at 93 Country Way, Madison, CT 06443.

In Cospicua May 26, before workers gave the pope a large fresh fish, honey, melons, peaches and wine, two young children gave the pope flowers and asked him to pray for them and for their fathers, who died in a dockyard accident last December.

Amanda Scicluna, 1'1, and Ruben Farrugia, 10, began to kneel down in front of the pope to make their presentation, but he pulled them forward and hugged them instead.

A bortion, unions

Corruption is evident in many . areas, from labor unions to management of big business and a host of other organizations, institutions and even religions. Blame for problems usually can be placed not only on one side of an issue but on all sides. This is why I feel it's important to examine our own actions as well as those of others.

Furthermore, I'd like to add that the actions of certain individuals in powerful positions do not necessarjly reflect the intentions and beliefs of all who may be associated.

Considering the above points of view, I believe general characterizations cannot be fairly made.

Again, I thank you for publishing your editorial about abortion and organized labor. It has helped me to examine myself and consider what I believe in, therefore allowing me to get to know myself better. I realize I must use these God-given tools to make a difference in today's marketplace.

The concerns I have voiced were taken by my local representatives to the International Conference of the AFL-CIO Building Trades Council held in Washington D.C. during the last week of March.

Raymond A. Fredette New Bedford

Dear Editor: I am a parishioner at Mt. Carmel Church in New Bedford. I wish to take this opportunity to comment on your editorial entitled "Unionizing Abortions." (Anchor March 9) I have previously read articles concerning the position Lane Kirkland has taken on the abortion issue. But reading your article gave me the incentive I needed to write down my own convictions concerning abortion and the labor movement.

I do agree with you in that abortion is anti-life and this issue has no place within the framework of union trade. I also believe no one, such as' Lane Kirkland, has the right to make a life or death decision on my behalf, being a union member myself.

I did send a letter to Lane Kirkland as well as a number of other union officials. The letter explains my personal views on abortion and also condemns the notion to make it a union position.

In addition to writing letters I've ma<:te my position publicly known at the most recent union meeting.

In this I attempted to encourage others to perhaps take a similar stand so as to make more voices heard. I thank God for the courage to stand and be counted. For me Dear Editor: this wasn't easy.

I noticed in the May 4tl) issue of I feel a sense of accomplishment . the Anchor, on page 10, you carried for having taken these actions and an article entitled "One Sliot Mike."

"It's been a banner year" for Rita Raymond's class at Pocasset School, Tiverton, RI, the fourthgrade teacher from Fall River said.

"We've had so many winners this year!" ,M rs. Raymond, a parishioner at St. Anne's Church, Fall River, where her husband Robert is a deacon, is one of the winners herself.

In one ofthe numerous contests her students have entered this year, fourth-grader Heather Perry nominated Mrs. Raymond as "A Teacher to Remember" in an essay for a National Education Association ·of Rhode Island competition. Held in conjunction with National Teacher Day, May 8, the contest invited students statewide to write about a special teacher who has made a positive impact on their lives. Heather's essay won among 350 entries in the kindergartenthrough-fourth-grade division.

She said she wrote about Mrs. Raymond because "she's nice and I thought about everything she does to help us."

Heather's prizewinning entry follows: My favorite teacher is Mrs. Raymond. She always encourages us to do the best we can and never stop trying. She is very smart and kind. She always gives us prizes for our good work. Mrs. Raymond tells us she will usually pass a student as long as they are trying their best. I think she is the best teacher, because she helps us when we do not understand something. Mrs. Raymond gives us a lot of work, but'she only gives it to us to prepare us for the middle school. She lets us do fun experiments and lets us bring in pets to show the class. We get to do things on the world map, and she teaches a lot about other countries. I learn something new every day in her class. Mrs. Raymond lets us help her when we are finished with our work, like correcting papers or hanging decorations in the classroom. Once in awhile she gives us tests for the middle school, but she always tells us the day before so we can get a good night's sleep and have a good breakfast. She gives us enough time to do our work without rushing us. She tells us not to take drugs and that we can be

teachers, artists, actors, or anything else we want to be.

That is why she is my favorite teacher.

"It's a thrill and a half' to have won, said Mrs. Raymond. "I feel very honored. We have super teachers here and I just happened to be the lucky winner!"

She and Heather, along with their families, were honored at an awards ceremony at NEARI headquarters in Warwick, RI. Mrs. Raymond received a gift certificate for dinner for two at the restaurant of her choice and a trophy in the shape of - what else - a very authentic-looking apple.

Heather received a $100 savings bond which she will "save for college," said the budding writer.

Mrs. Raymond joked that her students have entered so many contests this year that when notification came "I had to look in the files" to see just what contest Heather had won.

Her students have also received recognition in competitions for "Clean-up Week," "How to Save Your Vision" and "What the American Flag Means to Me." "I invite [any activity] that can broaden the children's lives and show them there's a purpose and Ii meaning" in the world, she said.

The contests, especially when they bring special recognition, are a real boost to student confidence, she added. "I always say, you might as well give it a try ~ you never know when you're going to win."

The students aren't the only ones benefiting from recognition.

"It rejuvenates you and gives you impetus in teaching" when .. "you know you've made an impact on the children and they really appreciate what you do," said Mrs. Raymond.

THE ANCHOR -

Youth ministry training phase completed 51. John Neumann Church, East Freetown, was the setting for a vespers service and address concluding the first phase of a training program conducted by the Diocesan Office of Youth Ministry.

At the May 22 gathering, over 60 youth leaders, priests and religious educators heard an address

by Dan Ponsetto, youth evangelization coordinator for the Boston archdiocese. Ponsetto emphasized the need of accepting one's own faults if one is to minister to youth.

He cited the apostle Peter as an example of one loved and chosen

by Jesus despite Peter's perception of his own unworthiness.

Ninety-nine percent of y,outh ministry is relationship with Jesus;

the rest consists of programs, said Ponsetto. Such a relationship with Jesus needs to be modeled for young people today, who are bombarded with negative messages, he added.

Rev. George Harrison, Office of Youth Ministry director, conducted the vespers service. Music was provided by Rev. David Costa of St. Thomas More parish, Somerset, and Sister Mary Golden, MSBT, youth ministry associate director.

Refreshments concluded the program.

Church sanctions helped ex-governor reconsider 'abortion stand HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (CNS)Former New York Gov. Hugh Carey said church sanctions he faced for his support for Medicaidfunded abortions helped him reexamine his position.

Carey told the Long Island Catholic, newspaper for the diocese of Rockville Centre, N. Y., that he had been told by Cardinal Terence Cooke, then archbishop of New York, that he could not receive communion because of his marriage outside the church to a divorced woman .and for his support of using Medicaid money for abortions.

The restriction, levied privately

by Cardinal Cooke, was carried on by his successor, Cardinal John J. O'Conno~, until March 1988, Carey said.

"I recognized the church's authority," Carey said, and accepted the penalty while continuing to attend Mass, but'wilhout receiving communion.

Although the sanction was applied privately, Carey said, it became known that some sanction had been applied when he was seen

attending Mass without going'to communion.

The sanctions reinforced his own misgivings about his abortion stand, Carey said. Having opposed the death penalty, he said "\ felt inconsistent" about backing Medicaid-funded abortions.

At a recent public policy seminar, he spoke of his "eternal regret" for having opposed parental consent legislation while governor.

Among the difficulties he faced, Carey said, were the uncertainty over whether a restriction on Medicaid abortion funds would survive a court challenge.

One factor which led him to reevaluate his public position on abortion, he said, was that "\ felt burdened by the number of abortions" that took place in the United States, estimated at 1.5 million each year. ' Legal challenges to Roe vs.

Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that permitted legal abortion, and reservations about it voiced by former Chief Justice Warren Burger gave him further concern, Carey said.

The sanction on communion

gave him the feeling, he added, "that you have lost something. It's like being unable to go to your mother's house for a holiday."

The purpose behind such sanctions is valid, Carey said.

By a layperson's "public act in opposition to the church," he said. that person is in effect saying, "Not only do I disagree" with the teaching "but \ resist the principle," and thus sets up his or her "private interpretation" on church teaching.

Not putting beliefs into practice in a pluralistic setting can be ignored "in terms of what schools you attend or whether ot not supermarkets are open on Sundays," Carey said, "but not when it is a matter of life or death."

No Less Beautiful "The gift of life is no less beautiful when it is accompanied by illness or weakness, hunger or poverty, mental or physical handicap, loneliness or old age. Indeed, at these times, human life gains extra splendor as it requires our special care, concern, and reverence." Cardinal Terence Cooke

"From growing up on alarm in Kansas . . , to working as an LPN in Salt Lake City, Galveston, and Ketchikan, Ala$ka ... to entering religious life. It was an interesting journey. It led me to a truly awesome lile commitment. ..

Visiting Alzheimer's patients

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny

CELEBRATING National Nursing Home Week, May 13-19, at Madonna Manor were resident Alice Connelly, center, her'daughter-in-law Margaret Connelly, left, and her niece Therese McGeough. .

The North Attleboro home kicked off the week's activities with a Mother's Day observance.

Festivities also included an Older Americans' Banquet at a local restaurant, a Crowning of the Blessed Mother in the Manor's chapel with a blessing by chaplain Father Justin J. Quinn, and a bingo game with prizes awarded by the Daughters of Isabella.

Residents 90 years and older were honored at an Over 90s Tea, an annual tradition at the Manor which welcomes residents and their family members for tea, sweets, fruit and punch. Each honoree received a Victorian potpourri sachet fashioned by activity staff members. \ Finally, a staff brunch was held to honor employees and gifts were distributed as tokens of appreciation.

"Poster nun" dies at age 90 WASHINGTON (CNS) - Dominican Sister Rose Bernard Weldon, who was featured in posters promoting the 1988 and 1989 Retirement Fund for Religious collection, died May 18 at her order's motherhouse in Amityville, N. Y. She was 90.

Born Rose Anne Weldon in Ireland, the nun had cancer and died after catching a cold, according to Sister Mary Oliver Hudon, a School Sister of Notre Dame who directs the Tri-Conference Retirement Office in Washington.

Sister Weldon was featured in posters for the collection exhorting, "They've been generous," and "Please remember. Give."

In addition to her poster exposure, Sister Weldon was also profiled in a fact sheet for the 1989 collection. Sister Hudon said 6 million to 7 million of the profiles

Dear Mary: Is there any way to help a person who has a spouse or parent in a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease?

I have read books and articles about Alzheimer's and how to care for them at home, what to do when you visit in nursing homes or hospitals, but never anything if the patient doesn't know you or can~ talk anymore.

What should you do or say to a person who can't reply? Also, why send cards, letters, pictures, ifthey are put in the drawer unopened?

The law says there must be a pitcher of water and a glass by each patient's bed. But Alzheimer's patients can't take a drink by themselves, so shouldn't the law take that into consideration?

They are not supposed to give sedatives without good reason and only on orders of a doctor.

That law they choose to ignore.

I know, because on weekends all patients are like zombies. The workers admit they are sedated because they don't have enough help on weekends.

I tried to get a support group in our town, but it seems nobody cares. I believe it would help if I could talk to or write to someone who has a relative with Alzheimer's in a nursing home.

-Mo. Many of the problems you describe come from the fact that we live in an imperfect world. I too have relatives in a nursing home, and I recognize the problems you describe. However, using the law as a first recourse for problems seems unwise.

My experience is that nursing home personnel are terrific people. Most of the residents hurt in body and spirit, and they often take their frustrations out on the staff. That staff members remain

were distributed for insertion into parish bulletins.

At the time her picture was used to promote the collection, Sister Weldon was recovering from surgery.

She came to the United States at age 16 to be a bridesmaid for a sister's wedding, and entered the convent at age 29.

She first worked in St. Cecilia's Hospital in Brooklyn. Then, beginning in 1932, she taught for 46 years at various schools in the New York area.

"Silence on elderly abuse" "I loved the children, I really did. And I was easy on them," Sis- screamed the banner headline on the front page of a recent issue of ter Weldon said in the profile.

Even after her retirement in 1984, the Advocate, the Catholic weekly Sister Weldon heard from her of the archdiocese of Melbourne, former students. She spent her Australia.

"Abuse of the elderly is far more retirement days in prayer, she said.

"I pray a great deal. I see a lot to be , common than most people realize," the Advocate reported, and "relaprayed for." tives can sometimes be an elderly person's worst enemy." Sources for these charges included the public advocate for Victoria state and a South Australia report.

"The report highlighted cases of physical, emotional and financial abuse," the Advocate said, "where people intimidated elderly relatives, into signing over legal rights to their savings."

"Elderly people are terribly frightened of being ostracized and left alone," a police sergeant said, "therefore they will put up with a hell of a lot. And they won't report it. .. .I guess the feeling probably is that an abusive relative who is prepared to talk to them occasionally is better than nobody."

There's another problem, too, according to a nun at the Melbourne Catholic Family Bureau: "Quite a few older people are inclined to go without necessities because there is almost an unwritten rule that you should leave SISTER WELDON was recovering from surgery at the something to the people belonging time this picture was taken of her saying the rosary. to you when you die.

cheerful and caring under such conditions seems to me remarkable.

When you have a problem, take it up first with the staff person on duty. Most are cooperative and welcome suggestions. If your input can help the resident feel better, ultimately it will improve life for the staff as well. When you bring up a complaint, suggest some solution.

As for medicating without a physician's directive, I doubt very much that this is done. More likely the physician has left orders for medication "as needed," giving the n'ursing home staff wide leeway.

If you think your relative is being given too much medication, take it up with the staff and with your doctor. Express your con-

How do you visi't the person who cannot respond to you? Touch is generally the surest way to communicate. Touch remains when other senses fail. Take the resident's hand or arm. Hold it or stroke it gently as you sit with him.

Offer drinks of water through a straw. If hearing is adequate, try singing songs the person once enjoyed. Or bring a tape recorder and play favorite music. Music can reach memory when all else fails.

Since you have been unable to start a group, try to find one other person who has a relative in the same nursing home. When you visit the nursing home, arrange to visit the friend's relative as well as your own and have your friend do the same.

In this way the residents will have twice as many visits, twice as many concerned persons'to look after them. You and your friend can share some of the difficulties and support each other.

....... 'P'arley- .to honor "Rerum Novarum~" VATICAN CITY (CNS) - The Vatican is planning an international conference in 1991 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of "Rerum Novarum," Pope Leo XIII's landmark encyclical that forms the basis of the modern church's social doctrine.

The world's bishops have been asked to organize local commemorations to emphasize teaching Catholics "their social r.esponsibilities assumed as a moral imperative of their entire Christian life."

"Concretely, the celebration of the centennial of 'Rerum Novarum' should not be limited to an updated reading of the encyclical," said Cardinal Etchegaray.

The aim is to develop a "social ~,,";1;7ation" of Christian groups

"on the d uallevel of reflection and actions adapted to the specific situations of each country," he said.

The international conference is scheduled for May 14-15; 1991, in Rome.

"Rerum Novarum," Latin for "On New Things," was dated May 15. 1891.

Pope Pius X I called it "the great charter which must be the foundation of all Christian activity in social matters."

The encyclical was an effort to provide Christian guidelines for resolving labor problems caused by the Industrial Revolution and growing Marxist influence among workers.

SWISS GUARDS parade through St. Peter's Square during a Vatican ceremony. (eNS photo)

Swiss Guards: more than "soldiers in funny striped pants" VATICAN CITY (CNS) - On a recent Sunday morning, the solemn stillness of Vatican City was broken by the drumb~at and bugle blare of a military parade.

Bearing 8-foot-tall pikes and wearing armored hats shaped like boats, a small army of Swiss Guards drilled in a Vatican courtyard beneath the papal palace. As the heel-clicking died down, a路I5piece band struck up a tune.

To outsiders the fanfare might have seemed jarringly out of place.

But inside the Vatican walls, to cardinals turning over in bed for one last wink of sleep, the sound was familiar: a new batch of Swiss recruits had arrived.

In a ceremony that afternoon, each of the 32 initiates clasped the guard's flag with a gloved hand and swore to defend Pope John Paul II - even unto death, if necessary.

That might astonish the millions of tourists who identify Swiss Guards as "those soldiers in the funny striped pants," tall figures who stand stoically at' Vatican gates under the constant fire of flashbulbs and video cameras.

The Vatican ceremony on May 6, however, marked the date of a bloody battle near those same gates, when 147 guards were killed defending Pope Clement VII during the sack of Rome in 1527.

Pope Clement eventually escaped.

The Swiss Uuard chaplain, addressing the new recruits and several hundred proud relatives, spoke movingly of this event as a "baptism by blood."

Today the Vatican has its own police force to protect the pope and other top Vatican officials.

Yet its 98 Swiss Guards are also professionally trained soldiers who pride themselves on readiness either to answer a tourist's question or defuse. a tense situation.

Swiss Guard recruits have already learned their soldiering in the Swiss army. In Rome they are given a three-week self-defense course in karate and judo. They are taught to handle the small arms, pistols and possibly other types of guns, kept at checkpoints

throughout the Vatican. Sources said Swiss Guards have never had to use these weapons but have some'times had to threaten to do so.

'They also receive inte'nse lessons in Italian, the common language in and outside the Vatican walls.

If Swiss Guards appear to be a bre~ apa,rt, it,may be partly due to trie selection process. Because candidates must be at least 5 feet, 8-and-a-half-inches tall - and most are much taller - they tend to tower above the average curial monsignor. They must also be in excellent health. Recommendation letters from church and civic officials are required; recruiting is said to be discreet.

A candidate must be a Swiss, a Catholic between the ages of 19 and 30, and have a high school degree or its equivalent in professional training. New guards must be single, but can marry after they achieve the rank of corporal. Since married guards must move out of the regular barracks, however, they often have to postpone their wedding until an apartment opens up in Vatican City - and that can take a year or longer.

A Swiss Guard's daily duties range from the ceremonial- hoisting a halberd for VIPs - to the downright dull- directing traffic flow at St. Anne's Gate, Vatican City's main working entrance. The Guard is on display whenever heads of state arrive for papal audiences, and during recent visits by Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and' President Bush, a picket of plumed soldiers seemed to follow the leaders everywhere they went.

While it might seem glamorous to stand vigil in the marble hallways leading to the Secretariat of State, many guards find that after the first few shifts of pacing, even the 15th-century ceiling frescoes begin to lose their appeal.

At the Vatican Bronze Gate next to St. Peter's Basilica, the guards oversee a daily parade of dignitaries, cardinals, curia staff and assorted guests, who are shown respect with a salute and calibrated

halberd-tap. Journalists generally receive a polite nod.

Then there are the inevitable troublemakers.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, for example, a middle-aged man with a camera was stiff-armed as he tried to force his way past the gate. The guard said but two words ("Get moving"), but they were enough to turn the unwelCome visitor back. People commonly show up claiming to have an appointment with the pope. Others more shrewdly pretend to know a lesserranking curial official - but all are carefully screened.

At the end of a guard's day, there is barracks life, complete with a gym, library, music lounge and a game room boasting billiard and ping-pong tables. Until a few years ago, the guards put on plays in their own theater, but today the hall is used only for meetings.

Videocassettes have become the popular barracks entertainment.

The barracks lie in the shadow ofthe papal palace. The building is old but modernized, with most of the guards housed two to a room.

Guards work two days, then have a day off. But when the pope's ceremonial calendar fills up, off-duty guards are freql;lently pressed into service. When not on duty, they are free to travel within a 20-mile radius of Rome, but there's a curfew: midnight for the regular corps, I a.m. for two-year veterans and 2 a.m. for officers.

Guard life is hot for everybody, and even the guards them'selves sometimes have second thoughts.

Among the latest group of recruits, one soldier decided to opt out at the last minute. Once at the Vatican, a guard might have serious reasons for deciding he just can't take it anymore and is quietly sent home. But those cases are very rare, officers say.

About 80 percent of Swiss Guards return home after their two-year term is over. The rest sign on for another stint with the "Cohors Helvetica," the last surviving unit of the papacy's armed forces and one of the world's most colorful militias.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) - Pope John Paul II has called a June 5-7 meeting of representatives of European bishops, religious and Vatican officials to make plans for a special European Synod of Bishops.

The pope called for the synod during his late April trip to Czechoslovakia. . Archbishop Jan Schotte, secretary general of the permanent Vaticim-based synod organization, said the Special Assembly for Europe of the Synod of Bishops would allow the long-silenced bishops of the former East bloc to share their experiences, problems a!1d needs.

The bishops of Western Europe will be asked "to finally listen to the free voices of Central and Eastern Europe" that were forced into silence by decades of communist repression, the archbishop told reporters.

The special synod is eJ5,pected to be held in 1991. Setting a date is one of the items on the agenda of the June planning meeting.

The planning committee will include the presidents of national bishops' conferences in Europe, as well as a representative for bishops who do not belong to a national conference. For instance, in some countries there is only one bishop, so there is no need for a national conference. In other instances, such

The Vatican will name an apostolic nuncio for the islands and St. Vincent will appoint an ambassador, the statement said. The nuncio is expected to be Archbishop Manuel Monteiro de Castro, a Trinidad-based diplomat who represents the Vatican in nine other island-nations in the region.

as in Romania and the Soviet Union, current or past government restrictions made the formation of a national conference impossible.

Also included will be Vatican officials and representatives of the European bishops' conference, the commission of bishops of the European Community, Eastern-rite churches and superiors of male religious orders that have priests. ,.

Vatican, Romania restore ties VAT1CAN CITY (CNS) - The Vatican and Romania have restored diplomatic relations after a 42-year break. It was another major step in the Holy See's efforts to build stable contacts with governments of post-communist Eastern Europe.

The Vatican recently.establi~hed diplomatic relations with Hungary and Czechoslovakia and exchanged am bassador-Ievel representatives with the Soviet Union.

The renewal of ties with Romania was undertaken "to promote mutually friendly relations," a Vatican statement said. The step came two weeks after a Holy See delegation visited the country and met with officials of the interim government there. Later, the Vatican will name an apostolic nuncio and Romania will appoint an am- . bassador.

A statement by the Vatican press office said a major factor in the resumption of relations was Romania's recent repeal of laws that repressed the Catholic Church.

Another factor was the government's agreement to 12 new bishops for the country's Latin- and Eastern-rite dioceses, named by Pope John Paul II in March.

In 1948, Romania's communist government unilaterally broke off observance of a concordat that had governed relations with the Holy See. In 1950. it ordered the acting papal nuncio to leave the country within three days.

Romania's Catholic minority numbers about 1.4 million. about 6 percent of the population.

High-tech French cathedral to beam Mass via satellite EVRY, France(CNS) - Growing up South of Paris with the new town of Evry is a $10 million hightech cathedral project where collections will be by credit card and services will be broadcast by satellite.

The 75,000 inhabitants of Evry have the best in shopping facilities, parking lots and sports centers.

But they have no church.

"We've been very surprised to see how young people today need to give meaning to their lives," said Father Alain Bobiere, who is in charge of the project. "Lots of couples were coming to us and asking'When are we going to get a church?'"

"So we decided to build the cathedral of the 21st century," he said.

A total of$2.6 million has already been collected and work is to start in November.

The cathedral site; a windswept, grassy wasteland enclosed by a metal fence, is outside Father Bobiere's office window.

He shows visitors a balsa-wood model of Swiss architect Mario Botta's concept - a squat cylinder with a sloping roof, crowned with a circle of trees.

It looks something like a huge birthday cake.

"I think we have to give this new town a soul," said the priest. "A cathedral will be one of the elements allowing the town to breathe, take shape and live better."

Church attendance is on the wane in France, which already has 90 cathedrals. But Father Bobier~ said he is con'vi~ced that a lack of facilities is as much to blame as declining faith. .

"When there's nothing there, nothing happens," he said. "If a shop is closed, you don't go to it."

To raise funds for France's first new cathedral in over 100 years, the church has adopted the latest in marketing techniques, which has shocked some members of the

cle~~~ers reading "Who can build a cathedral? You can" have gone up in subway stations around Paris.

Letters asking for funds were sent to 70,000 homes. Each letter contained slivers of cast iron, which, when sent back with a donation, will be melted down to make part of the cathedral's planned three bells.

French firms can have their names inscribed under a stainedglass window if they contribute part of the needed funds.

"The days when one could get by begging at the crossroads are over," said Father Bobiere.

Archbishop Guy Herbulot of Evry-Corbeil-Essones, whose idea the cathedral is and who chose Botta as architect, also raised some eyebrows by managing to extract some $860,000 in funding from the French Culture Ministry.

Under a 1905 law separating 'state and church, public bodies are banned from financing religious projects.

But Culture Minister Jack Lang, a Socialist interested in the project, sidestepped the rules by donating the money to a Museum of Sacred Art to be housed inside the cathedral building.

Equipped to broadcast Mass by satellite and accepting credit card donations, the cathedral will reflect its congregation of young, highly skilled technicians employed locally by firms such as IBM, Arianespace, Olivetti and HewlettPackard.

Father Bobiere defends the cathedral design, saying that the Gothic masterpieces of the past were also the technological marvels of their day.

But' others are not thrilled.

"The idea of building a cathe. dral in our day and age is great," said Father Philippe Laguerie, abbot at St. Nicolas du Chardon net, a traditionalist Paris church that has ties with rebel :.\r'chbishop Marcel Lefebvre.' .

"But the building Itself - which is, quite frankly, an architectural horror - and the spirit behind it have ruined the original idea," he said.

In contrast with Gothic cathedrals, some of which took generations to complete, Evry's is expected to be ready in two years.

"But we may not be able to keep the trees," says Father Bobiere, eyeing the ring of vegetation crowning the balsa-wood model. . "It's very windy here and our experiments indicate they just won't stand up to the strain."

Same Way "The way we treat people is the way we treat God."-Teilhard de Chardin

WASHINGTON (CNS) - One ofthe most widely used psychological tests in the world, often used to screen Catholic seminary can- . didates, has undergone changes for the first time in about 50 years.

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, administered millions of times a year to job applicants and others, has been updated to reflect 1980s attitudes and ailments, including eating disorders, overachieving behavior and drug abuse.

The test has done away with a number of questions about reli-, gion, sexual preference and bodily functions and has dropped use of male pronouns in questions pertaining to both sexes.

EVERYTHING Lately, I feel so all alone Can't find the joy You know that I'd be with you now If I had the thoite I know that I hurt you when I said goodbye And I don't know the reason I ever stopped believin~ I never needed anyone but you I was too blind to see When 'you belonged to me You were, my everything Now I would give anything To feel the love you bring Yo'u were my everything They say time tan heal a broken heart And fix you up But my life tould never ever be the same Without.your touth I know you are still afraid to let me in And I don't blame you really I wouldn't let you see me I took for granted that you would always be there Sung by Jody Watley (t) 1989 by MCA Retords Int. IMAGINE THIS situation.

You are called by a former girlor boyfriend who asks you to start over. What would you do?

J ody Watley's "Everything" tells this story from the point of view of the person who wants the relationship to begin again.

'Since their breakup this person has felt "so all alone" and can't seem to "find the joy" in life.

She doesn't "know the reason I ever stopped believing, I never needed anyone but you."

The song hints at some things that went wrong in.the relationship. One person "took for granted that you would always be there. " Even a larger problem was that "you were my every.thing."

There remains another difficult situation. The person who was hurt in the separation is

..It was about time for the revision," said Sulpician Father Melvin Blanchette, chairman of the pastoral counseling department at the Jesuit-run Loyola College in Baltimore. "The test is becoming more culturally relevant and more inclusive with the removal of the sexist items."

Some critics had questioned the original test, made up of 566 truefalse statements, for using as a basis for normal personality answers from a sample group of about 700 rural Minnesotans whose average age was 35 and who had eighth-grade educations.

Researchers would compare the sample group to a group of patients diagnosed with problems including paranoia, schizophrenia, depression and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Results were intended to reveal social and personal maladjustment.

The revised test uses a sample group that is four times bigger.

Salve Regina Six students from the Fall River diocese were among inductees to Sigma Phi Sigma, the National Mercy Honor Society, during recent ceremonies at Salve. Regina College, Newport, RI. The honorees were Heide Abendroth, Trine Erichsen and Barbara Starkie of New Bedford; Steven Bettencourt, Fairhaven; Kimberly Ledwith, North Easton; and Martina Ripanti, Swansea. "afraid to let" the other in. We can understand his mistrust.

Why should he risk being hurt again?

Even with this apprehension he may decide he wants to try again. Perhaps there were special times shared, experiences he wishes were back in his life.

However it would be foolish just to begin again without some new understandings.

The first issue to ;lddress. is the pattern of dependence. As I said above, it is unhealthy for one person to become the sole focus of another's life. Consequently,this couple might agree to some restrictions on' how often they see each other. Also, the couple might avoid going steady. Such decisions could improve their times together, since the pressure to meet all needs would be reduced.

Second, they need a direct way to talk about problems.

Dependence is more often a sign of infatuation than love.

'They could make a deal that' twice a month each -person , would describe what is bothering him or her 'about the relationship. Such honesty would be followed by joint problem solving to resolve some of each other's concerns. ' Finaliy, the couple I)eeds to rebuild their relationship slowly.

This means finding realistic expectations and 'examining what they learn about love along the way. Without such patience the coup'le could easily fall back into old patterns and start a new cycle of hurt: Your tomments are wekomed

By Mick Conway When Andrea looks in the mirror she sees fat. "I can't stand the way I look - I'm huge," she will say.

Now 15 years old and a high school sophomore, Andrea tips the scales at 87 pounds. To others, she looks alarmingly thin, but her conceptualization of her body image is that she is obese.

Andrea has an eating disorder known as anorexia nervosa. This illness is characterized by selfstarvation and an obsession with thinness.

The e'ssential features usually include an intense fear of fatness, a disturbance in body image, significant weight loss or refusal to maintain a minimal, normal body weight and often amenorrhea in women.

Excessive dieting becomes an obsession and often leads to serious medical problems such as malnutrition, heart, kidney and bowel problems, and basal metabolic rate irregularities.

The course of this disease is often unremitting until death due to physical complications. In fact, mortality rates have been found to be as high as 21 percent.

Such was the case with Andrea.

Her parents became alarmed when her body weight dropped so far.

Andrea's mother insisted s~e have a physical examination with the family doctor. Reluctantly, Andrea agreed to do so on the basis that her menstrual periods were giving her trouble, The doctor recognized immediately that Andrea was suffering

from anorexia nervosa and recommended she be hospitalized in an eating disorders program. • What Andrea discovered during treatment was that she was dying of anorexia nervosa. Her body had become so emaciated that had she been allowed to continue without medical intervention, she could have died.

Now frightened, Andrea began her long struggle back.

'What causes anorexia nervosa?

Noone knows.

There are many similarities between eating disorders and chemical dependency. Both are evidenced by loss of control, by progression, by powerlessness. Like chemical dependency, eating disorders are lifetime companions.

Recovery is an ongoing process, with relapse always a possibility. ,Treatment of eating disorders and chemical dependency also are similar. Most programs incorporate the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous for recovery. The 12 steps of AA apply to eating disorders as well as to alcoholism or drug addiction, and support-group participation after treatment is considered essential to the recovery process.

As in recovery from chemical dependency, asking God to walk hand in hand with the recovering individual is the bottom line in regaining a hold on health and sanity.

Of c'ourse, considerable emphasis is placed on nutritional restructuring, building self-esteem, goalsetting and assertiveness training in the treatment of eating disorders.

Catholic ratings: AI-approved for children and adults; A2-approved for adults and adolescents; A3-approved for adults only; 4-separate classification (given films not morally offensive which. however. require some analysis and explanation); a-morally -offensive.

Catholic ratings for television movies are those of the movie house versions of the films.

-'----------NOTE

.....

Please check dates and times of television and radio programs against local listings, which may differ from the New York network schedules supplied to The Anchor.

New Films "Fire Birds" (Touchstone): Young, brash Army helicopter pilot (Nicolas Cage) must convince his envious training instructor (Tommy Lee Jones) to select him for a mission aimed at destroying a South American drug cartel, while he copes with his feminist girlfriend (Sean Young), who despises his macho attitudes. This rousing but simplistic vision of a powerful cartel's destruction by a single military strike ,.relies .on swooping aerial photography and explosive special effects. Violent air combat, extended scene built around double entendres and a fairly restrained bedroom scene. A3, PG 13 "Torn Apart" (Castle Hill): Trite retelling of"Romeo and Juliet"with this couple childhood friends, an Israeli youth (Adrian Pasdar) and a Palestinian girl (Cecilia Peck) - who defy the wishes of their families only to be sacrificed to political conflict. The film, however, doesri't get beyond a superficial examination of Mideast tensions and the human beings behind them. Intermittent bloodshed and violence, and a restrained scene of sexual passion. A3, R "Back to the Future Part III" (Universal) Tame, tired second sequel finds Marty (Michael J. Fox) transported to the Old West of 1885 where his professor pal (Christopher Lloyd) has fallen in love but is about to take a bullet in the back. With little more to go on than cardboard characters, cartoon situations and stale special effects, this doesn't triplicate the fun and ingenuity of the original movie.

Minimal street language, mild violence. A2, PG "Strapless" (Miramax) A 40-ish U.S. doctor (Blair Brown), living in England and supporting a funloving younger sister, marries a mysterious stranger who then disappears. This moodily intriguing film takes an intimate look at a repressed woman's mid-life crisis and her growth as she learns not to ,impose her high standards upon those she loves. Some r<?ugh language, momentary partial nudity, glimpse of casual sexual encounter.,A3, R "Longtime Companion" (Samuel G!>ldwyn): Moving portrait of how AIDS affected three homosexual

couples in New York City, spanning eight years from the thenunnamed disease's first mention in The New York Times in 1981 through its invasion ofthe couples throughout the '80s. This film captures the human dimension of AIDS without sensationalism or sentimentality in understated performances revealing not only horror and anguish but the everyday heroism of"longtime companions" caring for their terminally ill loved ones. Frank depiction of homosexuality, mainly male kissing and embraces, fleeting, shot of rear nudity, recreational drug use and sporadic rough language. A4, R TV Programs "Living the Last Days," PBS, 10-11 p.m. June 5: A hospice that prepares AIDS patients for death is the subject of this documentary.

The Brownlie Hospice in suburban Los Angeles has cared for AIDS patients since December 1988. With 25 beds and a staff of 40, it is supported largely by state and local funds and serves AIDS patients at a fraction of the cost of hospital care~ Each death is marked by a gathering of staff, residents, family and loved ones to share memories of the deceased.

The emphasis of the program, however, is "on the living of the last days." That's how Chris Brownlie described the purpose of the hospice he founded before he died of AIDS in 1989. The documentary focuses on Brownlie residents in various stages of the fatal disease. ", Franciscan Father Bernard Castagnola, simpiy called "Bernie" in the film, is one of the most articulate and frequently shown staff

member. His concern for the AIDS patients is a contemporary example of doing a traditional corporal work of mercy.
