Catholic Charities Appeal in final sprint of fund-raiser FALL RIVER - Celebrating 61 years ofboundless generosity by the tens of thousands of parishioners and mends of the diocese who have given so unselfishly to minister to the needy, the 2002 annual Catholic Charities Appeal is in its final leg.

"If the Appeal were a race it would be a marathon and not a dash;' said Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington, director of the Appeal "By this time in the process we're like a runner heading into the hills of Newton in the Patriot's Day event in greater Bostoo;' he added.

This year's springtime Appeal, which began May 5, reaches out across the diocese where last year more than 53,000 individuals contributed more than $3.6 million dollars to fund the charitable works of the various diocesan agencies and apostolates that reach out to anyone needing assistance.

As The Anchor went to press this week, officials at Diocesan Headquarters reported that returns were heading toward the $3 million dollar mark.

''We're over 90 percent of our expectations for this date in the Appeal;' noted Michael Donly, diocesan director of Development "And we are continuing to have an optimistic outlook for this year's campaign."

Headquarter's staffers report a sense that pledges are up this year, as well as use of the credit card option which has been offered in recent campaigns.

There is still time for contributors to join in this meaningful effort to ensure that no one who is needy is ever turned away.

Prospective donors may approach any of the parishes or communicate directly with Diocesan Headquarters, P.O. Box 1470, Fall River, MA 02722, or by calling 508-675-1311.

Latest trip shows pope's power of communication is slipping away

By JOHN THAVIS CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE SOFIA, Bulgaria - For several weeks before his trip to Bulgaria, Pope John Paul II took pronunciation lessons from a priest so that his Bulgarian-language speeches could be understood.

"He was a good student, very attentive," said Father Petar Kjossov, who spent an hour-anda-half daily with the pontiff for nearly a month.

In Sofia, the lessons seemed to payoff when the pope launched into a speech to artists, educators and politicians.

"Oh!" gasped a young Bulgarian translator, who was watching on TV. "He's speaking Bulgarian, and it's very good."

But less than a minute later, the pope's voice slurred and faded, and his audience strained to make out the syllables. Then a local priest took over and read the papal text.

More than on any previous journey, the pope's trip to Azerbaijan and Bulgaria marked a steep decline in the pope's physical condition and especially

in his ability to express himself.

Once known as the great communicator, the 82-year-old 'pontiff is finding his own powers of communication fast slipping away. The polyglot pope today has trouble making himself understood in any language.

When he addressed monks at the historic monastery in Rila, an event broadcast on Bulgarian national TV, his voice projected so poorly that the microphone didn't pick it up. He sat bent over in a large white chair, chin on his chest, both hands shaking - and someone else quickly stepped in to read the speech.

The pope has for several years suffered from a neurological disease, believed to be Parkinson's, which has caused his speech to become less distinct and his movements unsteady.

But on this trip, the effects were dramatically visible to all.

At one point, he apparently could not descend from his popemobile to lay a wreath at a statue of SS. Cyril and Methodius.

For the first time, instead of walking down airplane steps, he Turn to page 10 - Pope

"Might I interest you a little in my seminary?"

So began a letter from Japan to two women in France near the end of the 19th century. The recipients, Jeanne Bigard and her mother, Stephanie, read of the more than 50 young men preparing for the priesthood, and of the help needed to provide not only for their education, but also for the growing number of applicants.

t Jeanne and her mother immediately went to work to collect funds and to raise awareness ofthis great need and ofthe importance oflocal priests serving in the Missions. In 1889, they established the Society of St. Peter Apostle to support mission vocations to the priesthood and Religious life. In the first year of its foundation, the Society ofSt. Peter Apostle helped some 2,700 mission seminarians answer the call to follow Christ as priests. Today, some 28,000 major seminarians, mostly in Asia and Africa, receive an average annual subsidy of $700 per student. t Might we interest YOU

the living wot:"d

themoorin~ Employment, unemployment worries The current unemployment rate in the United States is at an eight-, year high o(six percent. Most statisticians in the area of concern feel rise before it once more falls. Yet we know that all the facts that it clearly indicate that in the long-run of events, a real labor crisis is in the works. Despite the fact that many of this year's college graduates will be desperate for jobs in specific work areas, there will be a demand for work down the proverbial turnpike. It is estimated that in the next 10 years the labor force will increase by about 12 percent while the actual number ofjobs in all related fields including seasonal, part-time, and of course the second job - which are so important to many families will leap to a IS percent record. Now who will fill the gap? ' In the global work of commerce it is thought that any job gap will not be filled by American citizens but by immigrant labor. History tells us that this poses a real difficulty since most new immigrants possess limited language abilities and lesser job skills. Now to put this really into focus, the estimated 24 million who will be retiring during the same time frame will be experienced workers. In addition, by the end of this decade, the first of the famous baby boomers will be turning 65.

All this will do is speed the retirement rate espe~ially in many skilled areas of employment.

To make matters even more worrisome, many young people in school today have no ambition to prepare for tomorrow's jobs. Education on all levels of public endeavors is at an all-time low. Schools are failing because they have floundered amid the indifference of students, parents and of course, extended families. They just"can't get control of classrooms because of drugs, social hostility and public indifference. A survey of our Commonwealth's mathematics and English test scores clearly .indicates the appalling state of our state's schools. All the excuses in th~ world cannot cover up the. facts that have truly surfaced i,n this regard. To reinforce this reality, one should take note that of all who enter ~ollege, more ~han 25 percent of freshmen drop out; pushing them into a demanding job market with very few real skills.

As our economy creates vast new jobs, few will be able to meet the demanded skills of the times. Thus, there will be a short supply of needed skilled people in a myriad of fields. Some areas of the market that will suffer·are information technologies, those with expertise in bond markets, engineers to produce computer assemblies and designs, urban transpOll planners and technicians in the areas of oil and gas, public utilities and environmental needs. Health care workers, nurses, pharmacists and physician's assistant will be in short supply.

To me~t the job demands of tomorrow, many companies have of necessity by-passed traditional educational institutions and have initiated their own programs. Many are tackling their employment demands with programs to entice young people into needed area job positions.

They're journeying into the area of community cplleges to train students for their particular job expertise. Business is getting into the field of education because of education's· failure to teach. They are encouraging career days, reorganizing the concept ofapprenticeships and introducing internships. They are letting schools know what they need.

All of this should not slip by as a 'mere demographic and statistical issue. It clearly indicates the growing failure of our educational status to meet the needs of the times. Our government has poured and is yet pouring billions of dollars into our education system that seems to be intent on failure rather than success. Perhaps if schools and government cannot reform educational goals and objects, then it might be time for the business and commercial world to take over and set the necessary standards demanded in today's marketplace. If modern schools are unable to meet the challenges might they reach out to those . areas of our living that truly are concerned with producing a successful job market that is in dire need of skilled personnel. If there is rtegative rejection of such ideals, then thousands of newly-created jobs will go unfilled and business in all area of the nation and all industries, will be ' severely handicapped.

Composure in the wors·t of times By

FATHER EUGENE HEMRICK CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE

Do you feel that you're co-existing with way too much bad news these days? Many people in the Church are feeling that way.

The question is how to collect one's scattered self and breathe calmly once again. ' I have found an answer in a frieze at the U.S. Supreme Court depicting the great givers of law: Moses, Confucius and Solon. At one end of the frieze is a tortoise, at the other end a hare. They represent Aesop's story in which the tortoise, against all odds, beats the hare in a race because of persistence.

The tortoise represents slow but persistent forward motion.

The lesson is that law cannot be rushed. It moves forward at a steady, unhurried pace - keeping its composure and avoiding panic that could endanger justice.

We can apply the lesson to ourselves in fairly clear ways.

Aesop also teaches that when you going to walk away from a all seems lost we must not give moment that may be one of the up or stop in our tracks. We need greatest moments in life?

A philosophy of life is what we to maintain forward motion.

Patience is another lesson here, need in the face of bad news. A imploring us never to let anything word of caution: Don't turn to material goods for comfort, hopbreak our spirit.

My View From the Stands

Letters to' the Editor Editor:

Editor:

Recently the Catholic Church celebrated the feast of Pentecost, also known as the birthday of the Church. After receiving the Holy Spirit the apostles were instantly changed from living in fear behind locked doors to men of courage who preached, witnessed and miraculously healed others.

Today this same Church founded some 2,000 years ago is in the midst of a sexual abuse scandalthat has victimized many. It may even be the cause for some to want to leave the Church and for others not to join it; and to still others, a reason not to accept a religious vocation God is offering them.

Most people are aware of the enormous social work of the Catholic Church but are not as mindful of its spiritual benefits.

Through the Holy Spirit, the same who descended upon the apostles at Pentecost, sacramental life is present in the Church today as it has been for nearly two miHennia. Nothing interrupts or stops His presence, not even the current scandal.

Sacramenlallife is to the soul as food is to the body. For many it will be the deciding factor on where they will be spending eternity. If one leaves the Church or fails to' enter it they will be deprived ofthis most precious help. If this occurs, the current scandal wi II have claimed even more victims and would be a severe tragedy.

Let us pray this will not happen.

Nearly 60 years ago, Pope Pius XII, in his classic encyclical on the Catholic way of interpreting the Scriptures, noted that the Bible uses all the idioms and modes of expression common to the people of the Near East.

It is the scholar's task, he said, to ask where and to whom the sacred authors were writing? What literary forms did they use?Why were they writing, and what were they trying to say?

During events, he was rolled on a special wheeled platform or supported as he walked by two aides.

At Masses, his irregular breathing was amplified by the altar microphone, prompting concerned looks among the faithful.

In Azerbaijan, he did not distribute Communion and seemed barely able to preside over the Communion rite. which required him to stand at the altar.

After watching the pope struggle through the brief ceremony at Rila, Orthodox Archbishop Simeon said he felt like he was watching a heroic missionary at work.

"We honor this great mission. which is his wish. Who of us can do this? No one. He is suffering. like Christ," the archbishop said.

"But I think the people around him, they must tell him he has to stop," he added with concern.

Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said that the pope would keep up his foreign trav-

els as part of his papal ministry, even if he has to work within the "obvious limitations" imposed by his declining health. He confirmed the pope's July trip to Toronto for World Youth Day, but hinted that planned stops in Guatemala and Mexico might be canceled.

The pope today often communicates in signals instead of language. When he raises his right hand, it's a sign of his appreciation; when he taps his fingers on the arm of a chair, it's like applause - with his shaking and clenched hands, he cannot clap anymore.

A smile is perhaps the ultimate papal gesture, because it has broken through the mask his disease has imposed on his facial muscles.

Through it all, most of the pope's top aides appear remarkably at ease with the pope's physical struggles. They treat him as a family would treat an elder who is still in charge, stepping in only when necessary to turn a page, wipe his mouth or help him down a step.

£cIVSLJleS NEW YORK (CNS) - The following are capsule reviews of movies recently reviewed by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Office for Film and Broadcasting.

"Elling" (First Look) Sympathetic Norwegian tale about two previously institutionalized 40-year-olds (Per Christian Ellefsen and Sven Nordin) sharing an Oslo apartment and struggling to cope with independence as one timidly befriends an elderly poet while the other falls for an abandoned pregnant woman.

Directed with equal parts compassion and earthy humor by Petter Naess, the film celebrates

the characters' humanity and potentialto overcome their fears and frustrations. Subtitles. Some casual rough language, an implied sexual encounter, lleeting nudity and crass expressions. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops classification is A-III - adults.

The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R - restricted.

"Thirteen Conversations About One Thing" (Sony Classics) Downbeat tale follows several Manhattanites (including Alan Arkin, Matthew McConaughey, Clea DuVall and John TurtuITo) as they navigate through upsetting experiences that lead them to question the meaning of life and the elusiveness of happiness. Director Jill Sprecher keenly observes alienated characters, most of whom make slight progress in the direction of hope and renewal.

Fleeting violence, an implied affair, references to suicide. some rough language and occasional profanity. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops c1assifica-

tion is A-III - adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R - restricted.

"Undercover Brother" (Universal) Strained comedy based on an animated Internet series in which an uHracool 1970s-style black dude (Eddie Griffin) infiltrates a secret white supremacist o~gani­ zation aided by a savvy sister (Aunjanue Ellis) and a white seductress (Denise Richards). Director Malcolm D. Lee exaggerates racial stereotypes for laughs but abandons wit for lowestcommon-denominator humor and constant cartoon-like physical conllicts. Much comically intended violence, implied drug abuse, sexual references and an instance of rough language. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops classification is A-III adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 - parents are strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Pope assures Bush U.S. Catholics can overCODle clergy abuse crisis

By CINDY WOODEN CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE VATICAN CITY -Pope John Paul II assured U.S. President George W. Bush that American Catholics have the spiritual resources to overcome the clergy sex abuse crisis.

After Bush expressed concern about the stature of the Catholic Church in the wake of sex abuse scandals in the United States during a May 28 meeting with the pontiff, the pope, "despite the difficulties'ofthe moment, wanted to express his trust in the spiritual resources of American Catholics committed to giving witness to Gospel values in society," said Joaquin Navarro-Valls, papal spokesman.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters Bush mentioned the scandal in the context of how it is damaging the influence of the Catholic Church in U.S. society.

Speaking to reporters before the meeting, Bush had said he would tell the pope: "I am concerned about the Catholic Church in America, I' 01 concerned about its standing. I say that because the Catholic Church is an incredibly important institution in our country.

"I'm also going to mention the fact that I appreciate the pope's leadership," the president said.

A Bush aide told reporters Bush would not raise the issue to criticize the pope, but to praise him for convoking the U.S. cardinals at the

Vatican in April to discuss the cri- staff met with Cardinal Angelo sis and ways to end it.

When teens forgive parents

By CHARLIE TOO BAD Father's hands are lined with dirt from long days in the field Mother's hands are serving meals in a cafe on Main Street With mouths to feed, just tryin' to keep clothing on our backs And all I hear about is how it's so bad Refrain: It's too bad, it's stupid Too late, so wrong, so long It's too bad we had no time to rewind Let's walk. Let's talk You left without saying goodbye although I'm sure you tried You call the house from time to time to make sure we're alive But you weren't there right when I needed you the most And now I dream about it and how it's so bad (Repeat refrain twice) Father's hands are lined with guilt from tearing us apart Guess it turn~dout in the end, just look at where we are We maqe it out, we still got clothing on our backs And now I scream about it And how it's so bad, it's so bad, it's so bad (Repeat refrain twice) Sung by Nickelback Copy~ight (c) 2001 by Roadrunner Records

Nickelback's latest release is their soul-searching single "Too Bad" off the album "Silver Side Up." These Canadian rockers struck real recognition with their hit "How You Remind Me" off

Group leader Chad Kroeger said that the disc contains autobiographical content. Whether these lyrics reveal his own experience or not, many of us can relate to what the song expresses.

The song addresses how a son misses having his father be part

cus on when teens need to forgive their parents. As the song describes, parental actions and choices that leave teen sons and daughters hurting often create long-term damaging effects.

Even as I write about forgiveness, I want in no way to minimize the harm that parental behaviors can cause.

Most parents do not do so intentionally.

We carry pain inside ourselves that unfortunately spills out in inappropriate ways.

In truth, we parents need God's help. Your attitude of understanding and forgiveness is • one source of God's healing. Perhaps the hurt is so immediate that you cannot choose to forgive of his life. In the son's words: now. However, as you grow into "You left without saying goodbye adulthood, many parents will although I'm sure you tried.

Even if forgiveness is shared, weren't there right when I needed the hurts always remain "too you the most."

The gift of forgiveness does left, but the lyrics painfully speak not cancel the past but empowers of how the son now feels: "It's us to live our lives in the present too bad, it's stupid. Too late, so moment. It is in this "now" that wrong, so long. It's too bad we God always dwells.

Reaching the middle ground

By AMY WELBORN CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE My son, who is 19 years old, had been attending Mass at the campus parish connected with the university he attends. There were some things about the style of liturgy he wasn't wild about. But it was on campus, he didn't have to drive. and the Mass times were convenient.

That whole first year I encouraged him to get more involved in the parish beyond Mass attendance. So I bugged Christopher: Start with the Sunday night supper. Meet some nice people.

I never heard anything more about it. so I was surprised the other night - a year or so after I'd stopped bugging him, to hear that he had indeed attended one of the suppers. Unfortunately, the results hadn't been what I hoped.

It was the opposite, in fact.

It all came back in Christopher's offhand answer to my question about Mass on Sunday. I assumed he'd been to the student parish.

"No. I haven't been back there since last fall."

What? I panicked for a moment, thinking he meant he hadn't been back to Mass since last fall.

But that wasn't it. He was still going to Mass, to be sure, but he'd turned into a floater. Sometimes he went to the older parish downtown, but most often he went to a suburban parish in the western part of town where a friend of his belonged.

But why?

It was all about that blasted supper.

Turns out he'd attended one night, and one of the priests in the

parish had seated himself at the table and struck up a conversation. He asked Christopher what kind of music he listened to.

"\-'~::l Coming of flge Christopher told him. The priest disapproved. Intensely. And he let Christopher know about it. And Christopher never went back.

I'm of two minds about this tale. First, I have to be grateful that this priest wasn't afraid to speak his mind. He. didn't think that his job was to agree with whatever the students liked just

so he might be liked by them.

But I also can't help being defensive as a mom. Sure, I don't like the music Christopher was talking about, but I also know that it doesn't define him. He may listen to what I consider trash, but he also listens to Hank Williams Sr. and Dwight Yoakam, which I don't consider trash.

I have to say, too, that although I'm sorry my son was a little too thin-skinned about this encounter, I'm glad he has enough interest in going to Mass that he's willing to drive a distance to get there, and that he's not defining his faith by one (what he considers) negative experience.

So perhaps there's a middle ground for young people and the adults who minister to them in here somewhere.

Maybe young people should

remember that older folks aren't always exactly clued into their culture. Perhaps they could be just a little bit open to the possibility, too, that these older folks, even their ignorance, might have something worth contemplating. It's not a bad thing to develop a critical eye toward the music, movies and television shows you like.

Just as important, perhaps those who minister to youth and young adults should think before they speak. Sure, being honest is good, but there's more than one way to reach the same point. Rather than starting a conversation with a blanket condemnation of what's important to a kid, maybe we might ask some questions first and try to understand.

And if we do that, maybe next time the kids will come back.
