Alltime Appeal record! Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, has announced with joy and satisfaction that the 1986 Catholic Charities Appeal in the Diocese of Fall River has been completed with a new record high level of contributions received. . Diocesan headquarters reports that the total sum realized in the annual springtime campaign was $1,779,775.78, an increase of more than $110,000 over the 1985 total. Commenting upon the most successful Catholic Charities Appeal ever conducted in the 45-year history of the fundraising endeavor, Bishop Cronin called particular attention to the generosity of members of the 114 diocesan parishes. "I am sincerely grateful to the countless faithful members of our diocese who have responded in so

generous a fashion to our plea for support of our apostolic activities," he said. The bishop also took note ofthe support manifested by firms and individuals engaged in business and professional life in Southeastern Massachusetts. "Clearly," he said, "our pastoral, educational and social service initiatives have earned the admiration and support of friends and neighbors throughout our area. I am truly grateful to one and all for their contributions." The Catholic Charities Appeal remains the single most important source for funding a wide variety of activities conducted under diocesan auspices throughout the region. In making note of the unprecedented success of this year's

Appeal, Bishop Cronin expressed his delight that so many worthy programs benefiting both Catholic and nonCatholic diocesan residents would enjoy secure operation and stable growth in the new fiscal year which begins July 1. Bishop Cronin expressed special thanks to Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, diocesan Appeal director, and to Patrick Carney of South Dartmouth, the 1986 honorary lay Appeal chairman. Coupled with the increase noted in the 1985 Appeal, the substantial gain recorded in the current fundraising effort evidences healthy annual growth in the level of support. The diocesan campaign has registered a gain well in excess of $200,000 in the past two years! Turn to Page Two

He prepared for the priesthood at Theological College at Catholic University and was ordained May 30, 1964, by Bishop James L. Connolly. Following service as parochial vicar at St. Francis Xavier parish, Hyannis, and Immaculate Conception, Fall River, he returned to Catholic University for studies in canon law leading to a licentiate degree in 1969. In the same year he was appointed diocesan vice-chancellor and episcopal secretary to Bishop Connolly. Feb. 4, 1971, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin named him canon law consultant to the Diocesan Committee for Divine Worship and on March 3 of the same year appointed him chancellor and Defender of the Bond for the Marriage Tribunal. June 30, 1974, he was among papalchamberlains designated by Pope Paul VI. In 1978 Msgr. Harrington, who had been in residence at the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home, Fall River, was appointed to his present post as cathedral rector, while remaining diocesan chancellor. Turn to Page Three

Major statements With NC News reports Two major church documents been issued in the past few days. "Dominum et Vivificantem" (Lord and Giver of Life), a 141page papal encyclical on the Holy Spirit, was released May 30 at the Vatican. The fifth encyclical to be issued by Pope John Paul II, it calls for new devotion to the Holy Spirit as an antidote to today's personal and social sin. On Tuesday the U.S. bishops released the third draft of their long-awaited pastoral on the economy. Titled "Economic Justice for All," it is scheduled to come before the full body of bishops in November for final debate and a vote on whether to adopt it as a national pastoral letter. Holy Spirit Encyclical Denouncing the "frightful" spiritual decadence of contemporary society, Pope John Paul II described in "Dominum et Vivificantern" a world filled with "signs of death," ranging from abortion and euthanasia to terrorism organized "on an international scale." He contrasted the church's message of life through the.Spirit with "atheistic ideologies" that want to "root out religion," saying that Marxism is a particularly dangerous form of materialism. hav~e

As the church and the world approach the end of the second millennium of Christ's coming, the

pope said, they have a "special need of prayer." He praised those who have joined prayer and spiritual renewal movements in the church. The encyclical was dated May 18, Pentecost Sunday, the day tbe church commemorates the descent ofthe Holy Spirit upon the apostles. The document discusses the Holy Spirit as the "supreme guide" of the apostles, the institution of the church, and contemporary humanity. Its strongest language refers to social problems and ideologies which the pope said reflect "rebellion" against God. "One has only to think of the arms race and its inherent danger of nuclear self-destruction," he said. Many areas of the world are "marked by death-dealing poverty and famine," and wars creating thousands of casualties, he added. The pope said that "the taking of human beings even before they are born, or before they reach the natural point of death" is an "even darker sign of death.... And how can one fail to mention the attacks against human life by terrorism, organized even on an international scale?" In contrast to materialism, he declared, the church proclaims "the life which is stronger than death." The pope said materialism, which accepts death as the end of human existence, is the "clearest expresTurn to Page Thirteen

45th Catholic Charities Appeal sets record ~ontinued fr~m

Page One For the first time in Appeal history a parish has reported returns in excess of $60,000, with the final tally from St. Pius X parish in South Yarmouth registering $64,867.99. Msgr. Henry T. Munroe, pastor, noted that Appeal support is well-established in the mid-Cape parish.

The largest actual increase, nearly $12,000, was received at St. Mary's parish in South Dartmouth. Father Walter A. Sullivan, pastor, reported that the fact that parishioner Patrick Carney was Appeal lay chairman obviously stimulated extraordinary interest and support among his fellow parishioners. At the same time Father Sullivan expressed his sense that the

level of contributions would remain high in future years. And Father ArthurT. DeMello, pastor of St. Elizabeth's parish in Fall River, which showed the largest increment in percent over last year, called attention to a significantly increased number of family gifts gleaned from careful use of the system for conducting the Appeal recommended by diocesan headquarters.

In addition to St. Pius X, several other Cape Cod parishes registered significant returns: St. Francis Xavier in Hyannis with

$56,045; Holy Trinity in West Harwich with over $40,000; and Corpus Christi in Sandwich with $38,160. In greater New Bedford Our Lady of Mt. Carmel led with $36,291.50; in the Fall River deanery Holy Name reported total gifts of $35,424.50; and in the northern tier of the diocese, St. John the Evangelist of Attleboro ranked first with contributions totaling $34,742.

A Real Hope for Irish Peace It has been over six months since British Prime Minister

Margaret Thatcher, and her Irish counterpart, Garret FitzGerald, signed the historic Anglo-Irish accord. This document culminated almost two years of frustrating diplomacy designed to end persecution of the minority Catholic population in Northern Ireland. If this could be achieved, the:hope was that support of I.R.A. terrori'sm would be greatly diminished. Noone expected extremists to like the accord, but it was thought that it would encourage establishment of workable power-sharing arrangements between Ulster's Protestants and Catholic politicians. Few realized, however, just how opposed were Protestant unionists to the presence of Dublin officials in Belfast. What the accord has actually done is to unmask the depth of Protestant hostility, manifested by street violence, church burning and bodily harm even to the police force, which in many ways, is an extension of Protestant political power. In short, the sense of unionist outrage is far more serious than Thatcher and FitzGerald anticipated. Now no one wants to talk until the . accord is put on hold. In the meantime, as the old stall game becomes political policy, the extremists have had a chance to regroup and renew, their reign of terror. As Protestants take to the streets, Catholics feel unprotected. In such an atmosphere it is easy for the I.R.A. to be see~ again as the defender of the Catholfc ghettos against the Protestant mobs. This would be more than tragic for it would make the Anglo-Irish accord irrelevant and push everything back to square one with its mistrust, hate and fear. The only people to thrive in such a state are those maniacal extremists who want to solve all problems by bombs and bullets. Both Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland' have had quite enough of these so-called solutions. It is imperative that the Anglo-Irish accord be given a chance to prove that some semblance of peace and order is possible. It is an official endorsement of hope by the two major parties whose national interests would be served best by termination of the blood lust that has so long plagued the history of Ireland and England. , There is no question that either government gives quarter to the I.R.A. or the Unionists, both of whom would thrive with violence' as usual. The pessimistic attitude that Protestants have been "sold out" by the accord should not become an excuse for Ireland and England to abanc:ton hope of some settrement of the Irish question. . The Anglo-Irish accord is the first ray of pos-sible peace in a land torn apart by terrorism. All who have any influence whatsoever in either camp must be made aware of this and urged to support this initiative. True, the accord is weak in many areas and in need of revamping. But that can come only with time. And that i~ just what the acc'ord must have - time. It should not be scrapped by fear of the threats of murderers and terrorists by whom our entire social or:der, is beihg held hostage. Where a beacon has been lit, it should be allowed to shine, even if dimly, so that those who have suffered may have the opportunity to grope towards a better way. Only in this way will peace with virtue be sustained;not only in Northern 'Ireland but 'in all the trouble spots of our fragile world. To support peace in Northern Ireland is to uphold all efforts to 'help the inhabitants of Earth to live in harmony. The Editor

Vatican, U .8. share concerns ROME (NC) - Although the Holy See's aim is primarily spiritual, the nearby U.S. Emba~sy in' Rome is concerned' about "political implications" of Vatican actions, say embassy officers. Forthat reason, U.S. diplomats maintain contacts with a variety of Vatican agencies, including some seemingly far removed from global politics. Embassy officials visit the Secretariat of State and the Council for, Public Affairs, where the Holy See's foreign policy is formulated, and congregations dealing with issues such as doctrine and Catholic education. Louis Nigro, embassy political officer, pointed out that the United St~tes and the Vatican have common interests - among them world hunger, religious liberty and Third World deyelopment. He also said they share concern for "the lack of democratization of Nicaragua." He added that unlike U.S. embassies in other nations, U.S.-Holy See contacts deal with other nations, such as the Philippines and Nicaragua. For example, when the government of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos was tottering, the embassy and Holy See foreign affairs officials were in frequent contact. "The U.S. had diverse interests: , promotion of democracy, American bases, investments, the stop-

ping ofthe spread of communism," said an embassy official, while the Holy See's primary concern was for the Philippines' approximately 44 million Catholics. Nigro said he has discussed liberation theology with U.S, Father Thomas Herron of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See William Wilson, who resigned May 20, said liberation theology concerns the United States because of U.S. efforts "to stent the spread of Marxism." Nigro said he also meets offi-' cials ofthe Congregation for Bishops, the office involved in appointment and discipline of the world's bishops, to understand the reasoning behind appointments in countries of interest to the United States. The embassy frequently contacts the education congregation, which oversees Catholic seminaries and universities throughout the world. Those contacts a~e top-level. U.S. Cardinal William Wakefield Baum, head of the congregation, has been a frequent dinner guest at Wilson's villa on Rome's JaniculumHill and Wilson, a Catholic convert, has lunched at Cardinal Baum's apartment. "People are influenced by other people," said embassy press spokesman William Barnes. He added, however, that the embassy's work is geared more toward

exchanging information with Vatican officials. ' ,As part of its effort at the Vatican, the embassy distributes proadministration views, papers and books, and free trips to the United States. ' For instance, w,hen the Pontifical Academy of Sciences was studying militarization of space, including-the controversial U.S. "Star Wars" program, the embassy distributed copies of a' pro-Star Wars analysis to Vatican'agencies. The embassy then asked to send observers,to a Vatican-sponsored, January 1985 inter.national scientific meeting on the d:efense proj~ct; but was miffed when the request was rejected. Barnes declined to provide names of recipients of fr~,e trips, but a social studies professor at Gregorian Univ.ersity, Jesuit Father Sergio Bernal, said he is scheduled for a September trip to study the U.S. labor system.. "The U.S. routinely provides trips to leaders in various fields of interest to the U.S. in order to permit them to meet with their professional counterparts," Barnes said. . A'n embassy source ~x,plained that the United States is interested in the university because" a lot of men and women from all over the world are being trained in ideas regarding war and peace, multinationals and foreign aid" there.

Yearbook values' It happens every spring in thousands of homes across' the country. High schoolers sneak their yearbooks home and hide them away in their rooms so their parents won't see what their friends have written in them. If parents happen to ask to see their picture, the teenager may show them that page but they are embarrassed to let them read the whole book. It's a universal complaint of parents, one that drew many letters to "Dear Abby" last year. One reader wrote that a boy she had known since grade school wrote a filthy expression across her picture. When she tried to erase the words, she erased her picture. The words were still readable so she cut them out with a razor blade. "When I asked the boy why he did it," she wrote, "he said he was just kidding. I was ashamed to show my yearbook to anyone because of the stupidity of one person. To this day, I've never shown my year~<?ok to my parents or anyone else. How sad and how foolish. But the practice of writing suggestiye and even obscene' comments has become so widespread that it renders the yearbook pornographic and useless. Surely, young people who aren't comfortable letting their parents read their annual are going to be even less comfort-

able letting their children read it someday. Each year, the yearbook becomes bigger, more attractive and more expensive. Today the going cost of a large high school's yearbook is between $15 and $20. That's a lot of money for an object to be defaced rather than cherished. My daughter told me once that she wished she hadn't had hers signed by friends. "They didn't mean what they wrote, Mom," she said. "But they try to be funny and to outdo each other and that ruins the book." Embarrassing friends in their yearbook is nothing new, I realize. I suspect many parents have hidden their annuals for the same reason. Yet there seems to be a drive to write something racier each year, whether it has any basis or not. How can we help our children be part of the autograph signing", ' yet own a yearbook they will be proud to show in years to come? I suggest three parent actions. First, let's try to let our teen- , agers know in advance that we realize the dilemma they may face. We understand that it's hard to ask friends not to write embarrassing comments btlt that we also know that in a few years, they may wish they had a yearbook they could show to others. This at least alerts them to the possibility that they may someday be sorry if they

Curbing violence an

In effort to curb TV violence, Sen. Paul Simon (D.111.) has introduced two bills to encourage networks and cable operators to voluntarily limit scenes' of violence on television. At a news conference, Simon recalled going into a hotel room, turning on the television and "watching someone being sawed in 'half by a chain saw." . It seems that no matter what we do there is no avoiding violence. Innocently we watched the launching of the space shuttle; the next moment we were thrust into its violent explosion. The local news in Washington, D.C., as in, no doubt, other big cities, is one big police blotter. Knifings, shootings, rapings and muggings occupy much of our newspapers. With terrorism escalating, there is no telling what violence we may expe~ience in the months ahead. Most people would agree that the less violence we see, especially in our TV programs, the better off we are. Simon's bills raise the question: "Where is the violence in violence?" In the book, "Television Awareness Training," edited by Ben Logan, Larry Gross speaks about violence. He writes: "On the whole, most viewers, children as 'well as adults, do not seem to respond to the violence they see on television by committing acts of violence:" But he still thinks it's worth asking whether there are "real grounds for concern." His response to the question is one Simon and all ~fus should ponder at length. He argues that the physical violence portrayed in TV programs is power used in the worst sense of the meaning. When we see one

person kill another, we are witnessing the power of death and the fear it creates. To change a situation through the fear or use of death is to take the least civilized approach to solving a problem. When we subscribe to a mental· ity that plays upon the fear of death, we destroy within us the power to reason and to believe that reasonable solutions to problems can be found. Much as Earth's ozone layers protect us from the sun and skin cancer, shouldn't we be layered by as many nonviolent solutions to our problems as possible in order to remain healthy?

allow and encourage obscene autographs in their book. Secondly, we need to give them so'me sense of responsibility for others' books. Chances are fair that if pornographic comments appear in their books, they may be reciprocating with friends. Perhaps we can wonder aloud how other parents might view the writer of such ·comments. It may give them another pause to reflect. Finally, let's ask the school and student leadership if there isn't an alternative to defacing the book itself. Would it be feasible to have a removable autograph section so that the integrity and appearance of the book can be preserved? I envision an attractive blank pamphlet entitled "Everything You Wanted to Know About Me" or "Classified Information." These could be distributed during signing sessions or included with the book; thus students who 'do not want a book with comments or signatures across photo,graphs would then be comfortable in being part of the group while preserving their yearbook for the future. Which is the point of yearbooks, after all.

At the end of Gross' chapter, there is a worksheet which asks readers to list the TV program they are watch1ng, the time of day it comes on, the number of violent or aggressive acts shown and whether victims or perpetrators belong to a minority group. I would suggest all of us try this exercise adding another dimension to it. When a violent act is committed, write down a possible alternative to it using reasonable and peaceful means. Try to save the situation! The church asks us to find the good and the redeemable in our lives. What better way to,fight violence than to put our best imaginative powers to work in seeking peaceful rather' than violent solutions to problems? . ,

Different • meanings of hell Q. One phrase in the Apostles' Creed puzzles us~ "He descended into hell, the third day he rose again from the dead." ·What does that mean? How could Christ descend into hell? And how does that fit with the words of Jesus to the good thief: "This day thou shalt be with me in paradise." (New York) A. Our English word "hell" in this creed does not mean the place of the damned. In its original use, which continues in a few ways like this even up to now, it meant the underworld, the "shades" where it was believed that the spirits of the • dead were bound. Thus it corresponds to the Hebrew word we find often in the Old Testament, "sheol," a sort of ambiguous region of half-existence, where all, good and bad, were consigned after death. Many early forms of the Apostles' Creed did not use the word at all. They simply said that Jesus died, was buried and rose again. , In time, it seems especially in the Western churches to have been important in emphasizing his resurrection to indicate where he rose from. In Latin" therefore, were added the words "descendit ad inferna" or "ad infernos" literally, he descended to the lower regions. .' . . • . .' •. J. ,'f As for his promise to the good thief, we know very little if anything about what "time" or "days" mean in the next world. We don't even know for sure what the word "paradise" may mean here; perhaps, it signified some condition between earth and heaven. Whatever those terms might intend, the key words were, "You will be with me." Wherever Jesus was after the moment of his victorious death, there the thief was also, a fulfillment of the promise surely beyond the man's dream. Q. We are friends with a Lutheran couple and would like them as godparents for our new baby. I have been told that one is allowed but the second must be Catholic. . The Catholic Encyclopedia states that sponsors should be baptized. Please explain for us the church's position. (Pennsylvania) . A. Some revisions of the church's regulations concerning sponsors have occurred during the past 20 years or so. Present law requires that ,a child to be baptized should, wh~never possible, hav,e a sponsor who will'help the child grow to lead a Christian-life in' harmony with the meaning of baptism and to fulfill the obligations connected with it. ' Either a man or woman, or one of each sex; may serve as sponsor. The sponsor must be at least 16 years of age (unless the minister of the sacrament makes an exception for a sufficient reason), and a practicing Catholic who has received the sacraments of initiation baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist. The father or mother of the child may ·not be a sponsor. In other words, at least one of the "sponsors" must be Catholic. However, whenever only one Cath-

By FATHER JOHN DIETZEN

olic sponsor is assigned, a baptized, non-Catholic Christian may stand as it were in place of the second. While this non-Catholic is not a sponsor in the canonical sense of the word, he or she is officially referred to as a Christian witness to the baptism and, of course, accepts insofar as possible similar responsibilities for the spiritual care of the child baptized. These qualifications are indicated in the introduction to the Rite of Baptism and in canon law (canon 872-874). One of your Lutheran friends could serve in this capacity. Q. Doctrines taught in religion classes of Catholic schools today seem so often to differ from what I and other parents think. Is our , responsibility for the Catholic education of our children lessened, since we don't know what's happening? (Mass.) A. Absolutely not. While parents as well as teachers and school officials often may forget it, parents remain the ones with the primary right and responsibility for the growth of their children, and that includes their education. A mother and father no more surrender this responsibility by sending their children to school than 'they surrender primary obligation for their child's health by sending . him to a doctor. Certainly the faith is taught today much differently from when we were in school. (Considering the wars, violence and other unspeakable tragedies of the past two generations, both at home and abroad, and the failures of supposedly religious people, one would think we might welcome efforts at a few changes.) But, to be frank, why don't you know what's happening? Special programs for parents are common today and often Masses are planned to help parents better understand 'the liturgical implications of the faith their children are building. But attendance at such activities is typically poor - unattended often by the very parents who admit their confusion over what their children are being taught. Such parents sometimes stay away because they fear they will learn something that will shake them up and make them do some fresh thinking. It. may be an explanation but it is hardly a responsible way to act. If your school or religion class is doing something you don't understand, ask your child or his teacher to try to explain it more fully. You might even attend a class or two and show them both that you care.

A disaster Dear Editor: Legalizing abortions has been a disaster. Abortions have risen into the millions since 1973, yet Planned Parenthood is still worried about overpopulation. Sex education, i.e. birth control, and human secularism are not a solution to teenage pregnancies. I suggest that a better solution lies in a return to' stronger belief in a Supreme Being and a greater reliance on prayer to say "no sexual intercourse" outside marriage. Freedom of choice is the greatest evil of all when it is used by women to abort a separate human life. We stand condemned as a nation if this holocaust continues under the present ruling of the Supreme Court. At least the German people can claim ignorance of the slaughter of the Jews during World War II. The voters of Massachusetts will decide in November whether the legislature will be given the power to limit or ban abortions under Medicaid. Vote for life. It is God-given. John J.

tm Dismiss tax case, bishops ask court WASHINGTON (NC) - De- claring that First Amendment religious rights and the constitutional separation of powers are at stake, the U.S. bishops May 30 asked a federal appeals court to dismiss lower court subpoenas filed against them and remove a $IOO,OOO-aday fine' they face'for contempt of court. The bishops' attorneys argued that it is unconstitutional for the federal courts to let Abortion Rights Mobilization and' other. plaintiffs in the case use the courts to challenge the tax exemption of the national Conference of Catholic . Bishops and U.S. Catholic Conference. The court fight over the tax exemption of the NCCB and USCC, the chief national agencies of the country's Catholic bishops, goes back to 1980 when Abortion Rights Mobilization, joined by a small group of voters and clergy, sued the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department in U.S. District Court in New York to force the government to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Catholic Church. The abortion rights group claimed that Catholic officials and agencies violated norms for tax exemption by endorsing or opposing some political candidates because oftheir positions on abortion.

Hungry, homeless aided by grants WASHINGTON (NC) - Catholic Charities and St. Vincent de Paul projects nationwide, including two in the Fall River diocese, have received $16,543,346 since 1983 for care for the hungry and homeless under a national program that distributes money appropriated by Congress. The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board said that by 1985, 259 Catholic Charities and 90 St. Vincent de Paul agencies were involved in the program. Father Peter N. Graziano, executive director of the Fall River Diocesan Department of Social Services, said that grants to the agency were administered by Rosa Neto Lopes, director of New Bedford Catholic Social Services, and benefited the Diocesan Apostolate to Hispanics. Vincentian grants, channeled through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, were available to conferences throughout the diocese to aid in providing emergency food and shelter to the needy. Holy Cross Brother Joseph Berg, associate director for special programs at Catholic Charities USA, said 60 percent of local Catholic Charities offices across the nation are involved in shelter and food programs, often in conjunction with other church and community organizations. He and other charitable agency officials at a recent press conference noted that it is difficult to pinpoint success by counting the hungry and homeless rehabilitated to the point where they no longer need food and shelter. However, he said, "providing a meal to someone who is hungry is a success to me." Speed "in getting the money out is really the secret of our success," .he added. "I'm really proud of that."

The principal, who also taught at St. Anne School, New Bedford, has often substituted for absent . teachers. "It's good to get back in the classroom," she said. Sister Lea Malley, RSM, will be her replacement. "I wish that she'll grow to love the St. George school community as much as I do," Sister Jeanne said. "I know that they'll love her.

"They're going to videotape' it," she smiled. The nun said that children of her first St. George School students are now attending the school. "It's nice to see parents pointing out their own class pictures to their children," she said. St. George pastor Father Clement E. Dufour says that Sister Jeanne "has meant a lot to this parish. She's a lovable person and she does good work. She's very concerned with the children." A former pastor, Father Rene R. Levesque, now leads Blessed Sacrament parish, Fall River. "The children loved her," he remembered. "She's a very good educator. She got things done the way they were supposed to be done and she never hurt anybody doing it!"

pressing his spiritual joy, he congratulated the families ofthe newly ordained. "Make the wonderful zealous plans you have today your support in the years to come," the bishop told the new priests.

LINCOLN PARK BALLROOM

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny Q. Dear Dr. Kenny: I think I know how to be a good parent. But it all flies out the window when I lose my temper or find myself in a blue mood. That's when I am mean, critical,' don't listen, make empty threats and demand total obedience. I have three children, ages 9, 11, 14, and I want to be bigger than my moods~ How can I act positive when I feel negative? (Iowa) What a wise insight - to recognize that your parenting behavior is sometimes dictated not by good sense but by bad moods. Whether your mood comes from a "down". day or whether one of your children provokes you to anger, strong negative feelings usually lead to bad judgments and pronouncements. feelings are more apt to get the best of us when we are not in top physical shape. If you frequently feel moody or are easily angered, try an inventory Qf basic life habits. Are you eating properly and well? Breakfast becomes your most important meal Qf the day when you are under stress. Eliminate

junk' foods, especially sweets, ,and be cautious of alcohol. Are you sleeping? Tired people get cranky. A regular aerobic exercise program can work wonders to cure insomnia and improve your mood. Your first step in actually combating bad moods is learning to recognize them. Usually one has early warning signs, such as feeling tense or snapping at people to indicate that a dark mood is coming. If you are unaware of such signals, your husband or children probably can tell you. What happens just before you let depression or anger rule your parenting? How can you tell when you are down or angry? Can you feel it inside yourself? That's when to blow the whistle. You must do something to interrupt the progress of your mood. Say a brief prayer, picture yourself doing something laughable anything to break the cycle. If you cannot interrupt yourself; have another family member say a cue word like "Stop!" to let you know. Then take time out. Get out of. the room. Leave the scene for a

minute or an hour, however long it takes you to get a handle on your feelings and return to your'good game plan. Finally, fight those negative responses that you feel welling up within you with a positive remark. Learn to give compliments, even when you don't feel like it. ' Act positive, even when you don't feel positive. Yes, put on an act. Hopefully, your actions can begin to dictate your mood rather than having your mood cause your actions. Replace the moody' or angry retort with an upbeat action. Squeeze your child's shoulder. Tousle his hair. Grin and call him a rascal for upsetting you. After this brief interlude to interrupt your mood, get on with your day. You need not let your moods color your parenting. Good discipline can be effected in a positive way. Reader questions on family living and child care to be answered in print are invited. Address questions: The Kennys, St. Joseph's College, Box 872, Rensselaer, Ind. 47978.

My kids are always trying to educate me. Never mind t.hat I've probably cooked 30,000 meals for my children over 30 years. Now my son the vegetarian health-food specialist tells me I have a lot to learn about nutrition. My daughter the fashion designer has tried in vain for years to teach me how to look chic. I've had lessons in history, politics, dancing, swimming and how to hold snakes, not to mention many a passionate sermon on what's in and what's out and what I have to do to get in touch with myself. The latest educational material came from Pete, my youngest son, who gave me a "w ord of the Day" calendar. Each morning I tear off a page to get my daily lesson on the derivation of some common English word. Six months into the year I've learned a lot from it. One of my favorite trivia bits is how we first raised glasses for a "toast." In Shakespeare's day, the ale had impurities which could be soaked up by placing a piece of toasted bread in the bottom of one's beer. Eventually drinking to a friend's health became a "toast." I don't think I'll ever again tell an overly sophisticated acquaintance that he or she is too "jaded" - now that I know the word .means "spent like an old horse." A couple of my chiidren were terribly precocious. The real problem, I see now, was that they were "cooked too early."

TUCSON, Ariz. (NC) - The Vatican Observatory is among about a dozen institutions hoping to use astronomical facilities on Mount Graham, near Tucson. However, the proposal is criticized by environmentalists who say it-would destroy a fragile ecosystem. The Vatican Observatory presently has no telescope in Arizona but uses facilities of the University of Arizona. It plans to buil4 a $1 million telescope for use at Mount Graham. Paul Hirt of the Tucson Sierra Club, said Mount Graham "is as deserving of study as the heavens are.... It has the greatest diversity of nature in the area." According to Hirt, because the mountain is higher and more isolated than others in the area - "a sky island in the desert" - it has species not found elsewhere. The Mount Graham project is shortsighted, he added, because the mountain will soon have a "light creep" problem from Arizona cities. He said environmentalists believe that the astronomers should limit their facilities to the five mountains in southern Arizona which already have observatories. But Jesuit Father Chris Corbally of the Vatican Observatory staff said: "I think it will help preserve,in the senselhat astronomers are concerned' with the environment and will do their best to preserve what is there - more than commercial use would.'" .• !~~J>bs.er~~tor~.' t,~e ?nl¥fulltime s'Clentific research UOlt directly sponsored by the Vatican, has conducted most of its w~rk from Tuc-, son since 1981.

R'eeva:ngelization needed, pope tells assembly

Church power seen spiritual FORLI, Italy (NC) - Today's church has spiritual, rather than temporal, power, Pope John Paul II said during a visit to Forli, a town in Italy's most anti-clerical region. Pope John Paul, the first pope to visit Forli since Pope Pius IX 129 years ago, noted the difference between his position and 'that of his predecessor. Since that visit, "the political situation has profoundly changed," he said. Prior to his arrival, area bishops issued a pastoral letter noting that despite the region's "splendid Christian monuments," it was "known more for excessive anticlericalism and for fiery political passion." Nevertheless, the pope's arrival in the region, dubbed "Red Romagna," was marked by cheering crowds lining streets where the yellow and white papal colors alternated with red and white city banners. "Today I come to you on a pastoral pilgrimage," the pope said, noting that the visit was meant "to advance the eminently spiritual mission ,of the church." Remarking on the area's' religious and civil history, the p'ope commended his hearers for their "profound aspirations for liberty."

Pope defends celibacy VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II recently told a group of Angolan bishops that the church must preserve priestly celibacy as a "treasure." Celibacy, the pope said, is a sign of the priest's "undivided and liberated heart" which is dedicated to "the service of God and men." The priest, he said, "lives in intimacy with God" in a calling that is different from others. "Because it is eminently spiritual, this service is not comparable to the exercise of a learned profession. It is mission, the mission of the church," the pope said. Priestly celibacy is a "gift of the Spirit" whose "discipline the church is resolved to protect as a treasure," the pope said. At another meeting, the pope told a group of New York priests and seminarians to avoid deveUlping a superficial understanding of 'theology.: " The pope urged the men "to "grow in your knowledge and love ofthe great mystery of the church,'; but warned, "not any knowledge -. of-the church, the bride of Christ, will do." ~' Prie'sts mus(not have "the mere knowledge based on partial and contingent s'ociological conceptions," P.ope Jo~~ Paul said. In-.. stead, they should seek "a profound spiritual and theological understanding of the mystery of salvation at work in the lives of

East-West culture cooperation urged CESENA, Italy(NC) -Cultural cooperation between East and West is needed today more than ever, Pope John Paul II said during a tour of an Italian medieval library in Cesena. The cooperation is "urgent more than ever in order to insure an ordered progress in justice and peace," he said. The pope spoke at the Malatestiana Library, which contains texts from Eastern and Western civilizations da,ting back to the seventh century. 'He said the library was a trea~ sure "for th,at humanity which, doe's not forget the texts and lessons of the past, of that humanity which today"seeks for conversation and cooperation" between the two cultures. He spoke after signing the guest book of the library, where he had, briefly studied ancient texts still fastened to carved "lecterns by centuries-old wrought-iron chains.

Health Comes First "The health of nations is more important than the wealth of nations." - Will Durant

VATICAN CITY(NC) -Pope John Paul II has warned church missionary officials that Europe's traditional Christian faith is being threatened by materialism and atheism. The pope said that along with the need to evangelize new regions, the church must keep in mind the "duty to reevangelize" in Christian countries. He spoke to participants in a general assembly of pontifical mission aid societies. "In the modern age, which boasts of being the society of information, billions of human beings are yearning for salvation, yet know little or nothing about the savior of the world, Jesus Christ," the pope said in a talk at the Vatican. "Moreover, in the Old World, raised for centuries in the school of Christian faith, such powerful forms of ideological materialism exist that there is fear that entire regions may fall under the shadows of atheism," he said. The pope contrasted the modern world with that of several cen-

turies ago, when geographical discoveries spurred the church to establish missionary organizations. "Today, we live in a different age, with geographical exploration already finished," the pope said. But he added that "today, as never before, the world needs to be saved, and men need to be renewed by the Gospel." The pope described evangelization as the basis of ChristianitY'. Christ's instruction to the apostles to "go, therefore, and teach all nations" was the "Magna Charta of Christian dynamism" and underlined the "very identity of the church," he said. Evangelization today also includes "the duty of human promotion, social development and the defense of human rights," he added. He called on priests and lay people in missionary work to makeCatholies better aware of their work. Young people in particular, who the pope said often face an empty future, should 'be made aware of the missionary role, he said.

Culture retention vital, says pope VATICAN CITY (NC) - The church should furnish refugees with services in.their own language and culture, in order to ease their "trauma of integration," Pope John Paul II said in a message for . World Migrants' ,Day. The pope said the church's duty to welcome refugees was made more pressing by the attitudes of most societies and societies that have, in some cases, forced them to'relocate. ' "Recently, in fact, migration has frequently taken on the inhuman aspect of persecution, be it political, religious, ideological or ethnic," th~ pope said. "This impresses its stigma on the faces of the refugees, the deportees, the exiles: men and women, young and old, even children, often tragically deprived of their parents." The message was made public by the Vatican in several languages. The date for the celebration of World Migrants' Day is chosen by individual local churches. Integration of migrants insocie-

ties is often a "traumatic' experience" for them, the pope said in his message. Besides their ,own natural reserve and .their failure to adapt, migrants often facesocieties that are' "hostile, .narrowminded and intolerant toward anything considered to be different'" or "likely to cause social or economic discomfort," the pope said. When such members are integrated into local churches; their cultural identityshould be retained even if it creates pastoral problems, the pope said. Refugees "must be able to remain completely themselves as far as language, culture, liturgy and spirituality, and particular traditions are concerned," he said. Such diversity enriches the universal church, he added. , Local churches should provide priests, other religious and lay workers who can celebrate the ,liturgy in their native languages and make personal visits to the migrant families, the pope said.

Priest shortage only relative, he opines NEW YORK (NC) - Cardinal Jozef Tomko, head of the Vatican agency responsible for missionary work, says, the United States has only a "relative shortage" of clergy. He hopes to get agreement on a plan for using more U.S. priests in mission areas. ' He said he was"askirig that each "U.S. diocese take responsibility) ,'for a mission parish, sending teams_ , of perhaps three priests in rotation to work for terms of perhaps four or five years. He has written Bishop JamesW: Malone of Youngstown, Ohio, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops,' asking for support of this .initiative, he said.

The cardinal said that Asia has only one priest for every 12,400 Catholics and every 100,000 people of the general population. The United States has one priest for every 913 Catholics and for every 4,054 of the generalpopulation. He said'Europe is not sending new missionaries in sufficient numbers to replace those who retire, so new sources of missionaries must be found. " . ' ,

-Holy Spirit letter, 3rd- -pastoral dra'ft

Responsibility Continued from Page One sion" of "resistance to the Holy Spirit" in society. ' The pope said atheism is, "the striking phenomenon of our time" and a sign that throughout history there is "a constant pressure on man to reject God, even to the point of hating him." God is mistakenly seen as an enemy or a limitation, he said. Materialist ideologies, he added, see religion as "a kind of'idealistic illusion,' to be fought with the most suitable means and methods according to circ~umstances of time and place, in order to eliminate it from society and from man's very heart."

The encyclical urged Christians to free themselves from materialistic thinking and the "dominating structures and mechanisms" of materialistic society, by accepting the "liberation by the power of the Spirit." In the face of "the frightful reality of man's spiritual decadence," individuals and communities are nevertheless discovering prayer; the pope said. The growing popularity of prayer groups in the church is "a significant and comforting sign," he added. While stressing that the Holy Spirit should illuminate individual consciences, making them sensitive to good and evil, the pope warned against arbitrary decisions by the individual conscience, saying that conscience "is not an independent and exclusive capacity to decide what, is good and what is evil," the pope said. The pope said the year 2000 will mark a "new phase of man's history on Earth." In preparation, he said, the church will "proclaim the Spirit." Economy Pastoral Shifting from earlier approaches, the third draft ofthe U.S. bishops' economy pastoral has called for sweeping reform or even replacement ofthe World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. ' Those institutions "should be reformed or replaced" because they "are neither representative nor capable of dealing adequately with current problems," said the new draft, which argued that the Third World debt crisis not only threatens the.. viability of the international banking system but "oppresses large ~lUmbers of. . .the poorest people." Other major changes from the second to third draft included greater emphasis on family life and on education. Both changes were requested by the nation's bishops. The draft's title, "Economic J ustice for All," reflects its bottom-· line stand: challenge to Americans' to make the "prefereJ:ltial option for the poor" the centerpiece of their own lives and of U.S. domestic and international economic policy. The new draft s-ays that economic rights, just like civil and political rights, are essential and "are bestowed on human beings by God...nqt created by society." , The third draft's criticisms of the World Bank" International Monetary ,Fund and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade reflects consultations with Third World economists and representatives of Lati,n Am~rican bishops' conferences.

Just like us By Cecilia Belanger

Through the years I've come across people in and out of church who refuse to believe that the Marthas and Peters of the Bible were folks like themselves with strengths and weaknesses, courage and cowardice. They also refuse to believe that Jesus' friends could hurt him deeply. Let's take Martha. She was the most ordinary of women, fussing about the kitchen, wanting everything to come out right. We cannot fault her; her work was important. But we do not live by what comes out of the oven alone. Was Jesus hurt when he had to remind Martha that his words were more important than her chores? There was something almost plaintive in his words: "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed."

What's

on your

Jesus was trying hard to make his point. Let us go to Peter. If anyone wounded Jesus, he did. In Matthew we read, "You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." Peter was the best known of Jesus' companions, always mentioned first when the apostles' names are listed. Like us, he has his ups and downs. And he contributed to some of Jesus' most heartrending suffering. Cruel treatment is expected from enemies but rejection from those you love is a stab to the heart. Well-intentioned people, even people of faith, can become so blind as to oppose the cause of Christ, even while they think they're upholding it. We are like Martha and Peter. We fall but with the grace of God, we pick ourselves up.

and so does every human relationship. Each of us is unique, and couples married 50 years are still able to discover surprising things about each other, precisely because of their uniqueness. So don't be surprised if the person you date seems puzzling at times or on 'occasion does totally surprising things.
