Religious call for return to roots

Archbishop John R. Quinn of

"The Holy Father in his letter (estal>lishiiig the commission) said that the essential elements

are lived in different ways in different institutes -(religious orders)," he said. The pope also said that they are .Jived in differ­ ent ways "in different cultures," he added.

Jesuit Father John Hardon, another speaker, asked Arch­ bishop Quinn whether "one of the main reasons" behind the papally mandated study "-is that so many institutes have 'de facto, departed from 'Essential Elements.' ..

CHICAGO (NC) - Although they may belong to different" de­ nominations, religious journalists share ",the same irilpjstry and the same love for God," said Redemptorist Father Norman Muckerman at a joint convention of the Catholic Press Association and Associated' Church Press held last month ~n Chi~ago: :Faiher Muckerman, whose. tJtree<,:year: :terin as CPA 'presi­ dent: ended'at./the ,meeting, was t8Ildng aboutwnity and diversity, a theme that' ran through the convention attended by nearly 500 journalists, including Father John F. Moore, Anchor editor, Msgr. John J. Regan, financial administrator, and Rosemary Dussault, business and advertis­ ing manager of the newspaper.

The CPA's highest award, the St. Francis de Sales Medal, went , to Msgr.· George Higgins, long­ time labor columnist and former U.S. Catholic Conference secre­ tary for special concerns.

OPA certificates of apprecia­

tion were awarded to C.M. Buckley, just-retired news editor cif The Pilot of Boston; Robert E. Burns, retiring executive' edi­ tor of U.S. CathoMc magazine; and Charles J. McNeiH of Cath­ olic Lists.

The Thomas R. Brennan Mem­ orial Award for advertising ex­ cellence, presented by the Cath­ olic Major Markets Newspaper Association and won in 1981 by The Anchor's - Rosemary Dus­ sault, went this year to Robert E. Whitman of the Lake' Shore Visitor, Erie, Pa. . At the convention's opening banquet, Chicago's Cardinal Joseph Bernardin told delegates that central to the role of churche~ is "the task of trying' opinion: .which provides positive direction and sets moral limits for power." , Dialogue was at issue as Cath­ olic bOQk .publishers and other CPA members called for dis­ cussion with the Vatican as to

why imprimaturs were recently removed from two Americ!1n books, "Christ among Us" by Anthony Wilhelm and "Sexual Morality" by SUIpieJan Father ,Philip S., Keane. Both were pub­ olished by Paulist Press.

A"sense of the convention" resolution was sent to the CPA board forwarding the. U.S. bish­ ops committee On doctrine and, then to the Vatican.

The resolution called the doc­ trinal congregation's action· "non­ collegial and unjust."

At a panel on women in the church, Bishop Joseph Imesch of Joliet, HI., who heads a com­ mittee working on a proposed bishops' pastoral on the topic, to shape a well-formed public commented that whether non­ ordination of women is a theo~ 'logical or patriarchal prohibition was a question to be studied by theologians.

"It won't be answered in the newspapers," he said.

Another panelist, Barbara Beckwith, managing editor cif St. Anthony Messenger, said that in a survey taken by the magazine, 42 percent of resPondents op­ posed ordination of wOJhen but 48 percent favored ordination to the diaconate.

Bishop Imesch ,said there is a possibility of women deacons, '''but we've been hearing some (women) sar 'Don't. you dare. offer that to us.' " Panelist Charlene Warnkeri, associate editor of the Eastern Oklahoma Catholic, said that she had been told she couId write about women's ordination.

"For the Catholic press to ma­ ture, there can't be subjects we can't write about," she said.

Bishop Imesch said he felt "very uncomfortable" at the thought of tel-ling someone not to publish something. However, a writer from his diocesan news- . paper would not be allowed to print a column in favor of wo­ men's ordination because it was

against church teaching, he said, noting the distinction between a column and a news story.

The CPA, which wiH meet in Orlando, Fla., in 1985, gave awards in a number of categories of competition for newspapers, magazines, books and, Span,ish­ language publications.

Our Sunday Visitor, based in Huntington, Ind., won first place in the "general excellence" cate­ gory for national newspapers.

Diocesan newspapers cited for general excellence in categories based on circulation were The Tennessee Register, Nashville; The Times Review, LaCrosse, Wis.; and The Texas Catholic Herald, Galveston - Houston, Texas.

Continued from page one accusatory one," but rather one of helping the U.S. bishops carry out a work "of service to the great body of religious who are rill, fact faithful to the church."

He admitted that some religious are opposing church norms, "but that is not the great, large body." The vast majority of some 150,000 U.S. religious is "very devoted to the church," he said. .

"I do not ever want to skirt problem~," he said, but added that he did not feel that the pri­ mary purpose of the papally mandated study was to root out and suppress deviations. "I don't think the Holy Father wants us to go ,that way; it's not the way I want to live."

While he'acknowledging prob­ lems among U.S, Religious, Archbishop Quinn's approach stood in sharp contrast to that taken June 3 by Mother Long, who deolared that "for almost a fourth of a century we have been in a cycle of decline - the sap has run dry . . . The entire Western world is aWlU'e of the phenomenon of disintegration of religious houses: cloisters aban­ doned or transformed into secu­ lar domiciles in secular cities, confrontations, contestations and dissent."

Referring to recent decades of experimentation and confusion as "the worst of times," Mother Long said that now "the ambigui­ ties are gone. The question that religious must answer today is, 'To be or not to ,be.' " In a speech June 2, Archbishop Rosalio Castillo Lara, head of the Pontifical Commission for the Authentic Interpretation of the Code of Canon Law, outlined

what the new Code of Canon Law says regarding the public, ecclesi­ al nature of consecrated Hfe in religious orders.

He said that while "religious me is not dn ,the same level as the church's hierarchial struc­ ture . . . it is nonetheless essen­ tial" to the life of the church.

Archbishop Castillo Lara cited ,the new code to show that whHe the church respects each religious institute's "charismatic original­ ity" and automony, "true auto­ mony" of religious orders is not "absolute independence," because religious consecration is a "pub­ lic witness" in the name of and within the church.

Father James O'Connor, theo­ logy professor at the New York archdiocesan semin~ry in Dun· woodie, N.Y., caUed for a return to a more traditional theology of the church in a speech follow­ ing Archbishop CastiHo Lara's address.

He said that a single book, Jesuit Father Avery Dulles' "Models of the Church," has shaped the way American Cath· olics think about the church to· day. This in turn has shaped thinking about religious life be· cause life is ~o fundamentaHy and ecclesial reality, he said.

While not directly criticizing Father Dulles' theology, Father O'Connor said that in fact peo­ ple have used the various models for "polemics and slogans" to attack other people's under­ standings of the church. . As an alternative he suggest­ ed "a return ,to an older, more traditional ecclesiology" ,that focuse~ on the four notes or marks of the church, "one, holy, catholic and apostolic."

A Plea for Support

: It is becoming more and more evident that media bombardment has dulled the senses and sensitivities of. many Americans. Th~' accumulation of terror and horror constantly put before us by the news media has lulled our ,minds into a lethargic acceptance of' cruelty and brutality.

Seemingly it takes ever more. terrible acts of barbarism and savagery to shock us into awareness. This moral listlessness and ethical sluggishness are evidenced in our lack of care and concern for the terrible agony of Lebanon.

Most Americans are just tired of hearing about the , Middle East. When American troops withdrew from Leb­ anon , so too did much of our awareness of the terrible plight of the Lebanese. Including the recent turmoil in the Persian GUlf, we tend to regard all the fires and factions in that part of the world as one huge chaotic tangle. Yet our brothers and sisters in the faith in the Middle East and especially in Lebanon have very special problems.

Recently, the need to be attuned to the suffering of the Lebanese was given special attention by our Holy Father.

In an apostolic letter to all bishops, he asked that they keep concern for that troubled land alive' in their prayers , and those of their flocks. The letter, directed also to the Lebanese people, was intended to reaffirm the pope's per~ sonal confidence in Lebanon and its citizens and to ask all the church through the bishops to "reflect on the drama of a people that has too lon~ suffered from violence."

In other words, the Holy Father wants the entire church to realize the very special interest it should have in the trials of Lebanon. He clearly states that we must be united in a special way with our brothers and sist~rs of the faith who are suffering and,dying. , "They must know," he states, "that we are spiritually sharing their lot with the awareness of our belonging to the one same family:" A point that should be noted is that the Christian com­ munities of Lebanon are overwhelmingly a minority people.'

The pope emphasizes the fundamental importance of safe­ guarding the Eastern churches; the cradle of our faith, to which we all are indebted. 'The church in the tortured Middle East must be able to count on the moral and spiritual . support of all Catholicism.

Then, hitting the heart of the current condition as he so often does, the pope asks the faithful not to succumb to a listless .spirit or a dulled mind. "May no one yield to fatigue but may everyone be disposed to continue to help Lebanon to rediscover its original physiognomy." , These words of the Holy Father should help us realize our important role in helping the Lebanese rebuild their nation. In so doing we safeguard th~ historic Eastern. churches so vital to the entire church. Because they are minorities, even here in our community where there is such a vital Lebanese.presence, we tend to view them as different or separate. . , " But our Lebanese neighbors here at home must realize that we not only are aware of the sufferings of their relatives, families and friends in Lebanon but also that we of the Roman rite have a special affection for our brothers ,and sisters of the Eastern rites and specifically here the Maron­ ites.

Such support is needed throughout the church, that all together may have the courage and faith to conquer the darkness. The Lebanese people have long suffered trials and uncertainty. They have indeed the right to our support.

to be frayed away, until no more than a single tread remained.

Such disintegration is what hap­ pens to a person possessed by his possessions.

Too' often, the means of se· curing wealth are sinful. Once' acquired, possessions too often become the means of committing every sin under the sun.

Even if we are fortunate enough to acquire wealth with. out sinning and use our belong. ings in a non-sinful "'manner, they can still distract us f'I'om loving anyone but ourselves. The all-too-common tragedy is that pos~sions consume our souls and we 'find ourselves alone.

This is reminiscent of Thtan· khamen's treasures. That king of ancient Egypt was sealed with his riches for centuries in a dark and ail'less tomb. When it was opened, that which glittered was his gold and material treas­ ures while that which deeom­ posed was his body.

What an utter contrast to the King of Glory, whose empty tomb becomes a testimony that human beings are more precious than things valued by the avari· douse King Tht was not the center ' of attraction. The lifeless objects that surrounded him drew at­ tention while he became the rope torn to a single thread.

If we look at ourselves, can we deny that this image too often reflects ourselves. No wonder Jesus pitied those who had eyes but could not see.

Pentecost is the day the Spirit comes in fire and wind. It didn't just happen all those years ago but continues daily. When we see Christ's love and are fBled with it, we become immersed in the life of the Spirit. It is a glow­ ,ing, Hvingthing that must shine forth and must act.

Summ·er school

I sat in a classroom last summer and listened to a fascinating lecture on family dynamics but as I furiously scribbled notes, I was distracted by the even more fasci~ating dy­ namic going on in the group of adults surrounding me.

Here were 52 adults ranging in age from early 20s to late 50s, lay, religious and clergy, repre­ senting 25 states, Canada, Aus­ tralia and Ireland, well into their third week of a unique master­ degreed program in FamHy Min­ istry and Adult Religious Educa­ tion at Regis College in Denver.

Such a microcosmic group was unlikely even 10 years ago.

At least two-thirds were 'laity, many who had travelled with their children to spend three or six weeks in Colorado, parents learning and children enjoying mountain and summer !eisure activities. The remainder-were singles, religious and clergy.

Later in the summer when I came back to teach the group, I real­ ized this program represents a vision being fleshed out in our church.

Into its second year, it models what we hoped for when we spoke of ,leadership training in the 1979 Pastoral Plan of Family Action. Then we glimpsed that any effective leadership training in family ministry or adult reli­ gious education must be geared to: 1. the practical needs of full­ time working adults; 2. families with children; 3. couples who want to study together; and 4. singles,' ~eligious and clergy who want toJ>roaden their experience of familf and laity while learn­ ing alongside them.

And experience family me they

do, living together in dormitory style. One priest told me of his colHsion with a Big Wheet man­ ned by a 3-year-old as he step­ ped outside his door at 6 a.m.

"I didn't know kids got up that early," he said ruefully as he rubbed a bruised shin. And the parents of that budding cyclist know that clergy, religious, and singles are human, with family needs and' gifts. By the second week, kids were going to the celibates as easily as to their parents to settle squabbles and kiss boo-boos.

But aside from the experience of learning to appreciate one an­ other in new ways, these adults were preparing for parish and diocesan aeadership. through a rigorous 9 to 4 schedule of theo­ logy, sociology, psychology. adult education and management science - while theR' children enjoyed day care free of charge.

What they had in common was the realization that the future of the family, church and society requires an emphasis, on vital community dife.

Naijonally recognized resource facilitators assist' Dr. David Thomas, designer and director of the program, in presenting sessions packed with theological insights and practical skills. Par­ ticipants can break ·their nine weeks on campus into a six­ week segment one summer with a three-week segment the follow­ ing or they can spread at over three summers, each with a three­ week residency. I met many such couples usmg vacation time and money to learn and earn mas­ ter's degrees ,in church work.

teams who see value in investing in potential leadership. Never­ theless, the program requires financial sacrifice and a demand­ ing if rewarding use of summer I~sure time.

That the Regis program is just one of many, I realize, but it is the one with which I am most familiar and the spirit emanating from this exciting microcosm of church adults learning together and sharing a vision tells me that our church has taken a giant step toward becoming an adult Catholic community in the best sense.

KENNY

Dear Dr. Kenny: I will be getting married this summer to a wonderful woman. Our problem is that she has a 5­ year-old daughter, Jana, who is beginning to show some signs of feeling left out.

-

& MARY

During the two years we have dated, I have come to love this chUd as my own. I plan to adopt her legally as soon as we are married.

However, right now she seems to resent the time her mother and I spend together. She enjoys being with either of us alone, but she' just doesn't like to see us go off together. We plan to include her as ring bearer in the wedding. Any other suggestions?

(Indiana)

You sound like a wise and kind man, anticipating problems your child might have. I hear so much today about how children inter­ fere with ,the happiness of adults.

When engaged couples have chil­ dren from a previous marriage, they are often advised, " Re­ member, you are only marrying _each other, not the whole fam­ ily."

While there is some truth in the above advice, I feel it is rather naive, especially when young children ~e concerned. Of course, you are not marrying the entire family. Nevertheless, you are establishing a significant and permanent relationship with all your spouse's relativt!s. To be concerned right now about Jana's feelings is a good beginning to your new career as a father.

First of all, you need to accept the fact that Jana is upset. While she is gaining a father, she is also getting competition for the attention of her mother. She will need time to adjust to this new situation. Human beings of aU ages resist change.

Understand that Jana is 'Upset but don't let her cause you t~ feel ,guilty about ,being alone to­ gether. You and your fiance/wife need time with each other. Jana will have \0 learn to accept this.

She must learn that she cannot separate you.

Begin now to reach out to Jana as a couple. Take her places with you, ,to zoos, museums, movies and dinners out. Let her learn that your ~ove for each other only multiplies your love for her and that your mutual af­ fection is not a threat.

You write that she will be the ring bearer at your wedding.

Why not give iher a more impor­ tant part? After all, you are tak­ ing her as your child forever. I think it would be wonderful to express this fact in a religious ceremony.

Adoption cries fOf-religious ex­ ~ression. A civil court hearing IS not enough. You are promising

this child a lifetime of loving care. Why not have a special liturgy?

In your situation, you could include your adoption of Jana as pan of the wedding. You Me not only marrying this woman you also are taking this child. Say so. After you ihave made your promises to your wife, you might introduce Jana. How beautifully appropriate a welcome for an adopted child.

While such a ceremony won't solve all Jana's adjustment prob­ 'lems, it will visibly indicate that she ,is gaining a loving father.

You and your wife must now come together and love Jana as a united couple. Don't ~et Jana drive you apart. In time you will understand that your love for .each other only enriches your love for her.

Who.'s listening?

VATICAN I{NC) - Who in the United States is listening to the pope's radio? .

Jesuit Father Henry Lavin, director of English programming at Vatican Radio wants to know.

He sends two daily short-wave broadcasts of news and views about .Pope John Paul II and church activities to the' United States.

But much of his U.S. mail is short-wave operators' form card~ merely acknowledging reo ception of the broadcasts. He'd like to hear from other !isteners too.

The priest said Vatican Radio beams 33 minutes of prograni., ming at the U.S. daily. A 14­ minute show at 10:45 a.m. EDT describes papal activities and ini­ tiatives ,throughout the w011ld, while the 19-minute show at 4:50 p.m. EDT is issue-oriented, including church history and dis­ cussion of contemporary issues. .On the draWling board is. a Salesian Brother John R.

Vatican_banl{ dispute settled VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican reiterated May 26 that it was not responsible for col­ lapse of Italy's Banco Ambrosi­ ano and has called a planned payment of $250 million to the bank's creditors a "voluntary· contribution made in a spirit of "conciliation and collaboration."

The statement was released one day after the Vatican bank, Italian liquidators of Banco Am­ brosiano and about 100 of Banco Ambrosiano's foreign creditors signed· a $406 million agreement in Geneva, Switzerland, that coyers about two-thirds of the sum originally sought by credi­ tors. .

A decision on the Vatican pay­ ment is to be made by June 15.

The rest of the $406 million will come from sale of Banco Am­ brosiano's remaining assets.

In -March, Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia said the money would probably be raised by loans and repaid by the Vatican bank out of future earnings. He is a member of a council of car­ dinals advising the. Vatican on

financial problems.

Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, Vatican bank president, told NC News he had no comment on the agreement.

Vatican officials refused com­ ment on reports that Vatican .bank reorganIzation is planned.

Cardinal Krol said in March that the financial .council was press· ing for fuller disolosure of Vati­ can finances and had recom· mended an independent audit of the Vatican bank.

Italian treasury minister Gian­ ni Goria has said that the Vati­ can bank should open a branch in I,taly, thus opening itself to inspection by Italian banking authorities.

burst forth upon the paths and gardens, I remember the days gone by and again stoop to gather bouquets. Violets seem to penetrate barren ground, shout­ ing to the world that God lind love live everywhere. They re­ mind me that even when love seems lost, with sunshine and God's love it can bloom.

Recollections of my chi'ldhood fantasies woven around violets have often made me smile. Yet the dreams of a little country girl have come true.

Childhood fancies, prayers' and

dreams can indeed come to fru­ ition if we but wait the Master's time.

My knight has_ come into my life and instead of an occasional nosegay has given me a yard full of violets. And his love, like the violets, has grown, spread and become dearer each year.

FATHER COSTA (center) chats at NFPC convention with Father'Clement Thibodeau (left) of the Portland, Maine, diocese and Fa ther Robert Johnson, 51. Paul and Minneap­ 'olis, out going president.

Father Costa in NFPC post SAN ANTONIO, Texas (NC) ­ Father Joseph. Costa, associate pastor at Our Lady of Mt. Car­ mel parish,Seekonk, was named New England regional represen­ tative to the National Federation of Priests' Councils at the organ­ ization's national meeting last .month.

Father Costa was the delegate of the Fall River diocesan Priests' Council· to the meeting.

At -the four-day gathering, over 200 participants were .told · by the outgoing NFPC president that the new Code of Canon Law has increased the importance of priests councils.

At general sessions and small­ group meetings the priests dis­ cussed the importance of the sacraments, voted in a wide . range of resolutions and elected Father Richard Hynes of New-' ark, N.J., as NFPC president for the next two yeaI'.

Several resolutions were re­ lated to the U.S. bishops' peace pastoral.

By unanimous vote members urge<:l U.S. priests to promote observance of a national day of reconci}.iation on Aug. 6, the 40th anniversary of the atomic ·destruction of Hiroshima.

Delegates also backed the U.S. bishops' _call for the establish­ ment of a U.s. Academy of ·Peace. They voted to ask the bishops to consider setting up a national "anns watch panel" to monitor U.S. defense policies and actions.

In his presidential address Father Johnson, a priest of the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese, . clarified the role of priests' counci·ls under the new Code of Canol). Law. Those who compla,in that under the code councils are "merely consultative" have "missed what consultation is all about," he said. He said under the·· new code councils play an integral part in both developing . and . implementing diocesan policy.

In :dditiori, he said, the new code has increased the impor­ tance of councils by mandating their establishment in. every dio­

cese and giving them "great weight" in the· consultation pro­ cesses in which a bishop must engage.

In other resolutions, delegates supported for the right of peo­ ple to engage in nonvIolent re­ sistance ·towar and the weapons of war, and they urged priests' councils to set lip programs of pastoral ministry to those im­ prisoned for such resistance.

The priests unanimously back­ ed two resolutions opposing U.S. Central American policy. One opposed U.S. military appropria­ tions for Central America, the other U.S. refusal to grant poli­ tical asylum to Central Ameri­ can refugees. The latter. also supported "people of conscience" in the United States who are il­ legaHy harboring such ref~gees.

Other resolutions: an dthe vote on them: - Sought new norms to re­ turn laicized priests to active ministry (95-18) and called for changes to ease the current pro­ cess of laicization (unanimous): - Backed a call by diocesan religious education directors for a Vatican-U.S. church dialogue on criteria for church approval of Catholic books in light of

confusion surrounding the recent Vatican- ordered withdrawal ·of approval from two books in the United States (114-1); - Urged the U.S. bishops to seek suspension of current U.S. norms for the selection of bish­ ops and to develop new norms that would give priests and peo­ ple more voice in the choice of bishops (112-2); - Asked the U.S. bishops to study the possibility of setting a Single national norm for the age of confirmation to eliminate diff-i­ culties which now arise when Catholic families move from one diocese to another (76-21); - Decided to serve as a clear­ inghouse for data on the grow­ ing shortage of priests in the country (unanimous) and on dio­ cesan criteria for opening, clos­ ing and consolidating p8l'ishes in light of the priest shortage and other factors (also unanimous); Father Hynes, the new NFPC president, is 37 and was released from diocesan duties a year ago to serve as NFPC director of pro­ grams at the federation's na­ tional offices in Chicago. Before that he was director of con­ tinuing education of priests in the Newark Archdiocese.

HOLYOKE, Mass. (NC) - The Trappist order has provision­ ally adopted a new constitution that formalizes many lifestyle changes the group has made. over the last 15 years.

The order will live under the constitution for three years be­ fore giving it a final ,:,ote.

More than 100 members of the contemplative order recently held a general chapter at Mont Marie Conference center in Holyoke. It was the first chap­ ter of the 86-year-old order to be held outside Europe.

The meeting produced one actual and 'one potential change in the way the order elects deaders. Participants voted to eliminate the position of abbot vicar, traditionally a stepping stone to becoming abbot general and also indicated they would allow Trappist nuns ,to vote for abbot general if approved by the Vatican.

One abbot general presides over both male' Trappists and Trappistine nuns.

"What the constitution has done is to embody the experi­ me,ntation going. on in the last 15 years," said Father Placid McSweeney of St. Joseph's Ab­ bey, Spencer, Mass., a retreat center visited by many members of the FaH River diocese.

The Trappist life, while stiU .austere, has changed since the Second Vatican Council.' The most important adjustment was the 1969 decision to modify the Trappist rule· of silence under which sign language was used for ordinary communications.

Most, ~bbeys now permit speaking for essential communi­ cation to do with community business or work ~ing dOne. Press reports at the beginning of the 'chapter meeting had said that the male Trappists 'were considering let~ing the nuns vote at the chapter itself, but Father MCSweeney said those reports were incorrect.

"It's a non-issue. The nuns have their own chapter and they have' full authority in their own order. They were present at our chapter because thtly will have to do their own constitutions; they were not being deprived of anything," he said. , The 1987 chapter will prob­

ably be held in Spain, Father McSweeney said.

There are' more than 3,000 Trappist monks and 1,300 nuns throughout the world.

In the United States there are 12 communities of monks with 569 members and three com­ munities of women with 79 mem­ bers.

Both men and women observe a strict lifestyle that inoludes waking at 3 a.m. The Trappists, formally caHed'the Order of Cis­ tercians of the Strict Observance, stems from a - 17th-century re­ fomi of the Cistercians, an order founded in 1098 in Citeaux, France. The name "Trappist" comes from La Trappe, France, the center of the reform.

Delegates to the ,last general chapter three years ago in Rome decided to meet in Holyoke be­ cause the growing order now has as many monasteries outside Europe as on the ·continent.

Last year St. Joseph's Abbey reported eight novices and said ·that more than 250 people had called in the previous year to inquire about joining the com· munity.

Do you know where your child­ ren are?"

His words are a dramatic re­ minder of the difficult obJ.iga­ tions parents have in regard, to their children. It would be much easier for parents to let their children run free and perhaps wild. Keeping track of them can be a real hassle.

When I was about your age, I felt that kids were hemmed in by rules. Our lucky parents were free. . Now I know differently. Par­ ents too are hemmed in by rules of enormous gravity, although the word "rule" does not exact­ ly express their responSlibility. ,God asks parents to love their ohildren and be concerned about· them in many ways. They must try to fo~ter not only their physi­ cal but also their psychological and moral health.

To put it another way, God asks your parents to help you as best they can to reach Christian matullity and a ~ull m~asure .of

prove the rule, then the rule against' hearsay is proven 34 times over. The Federal Rules of Evidence, which apply in any federal case and serve as a guide for many states' courts, provides 34 exceptions to the hearsay rule. Under them' you may in­ troduce evidence despite the fact that it would otherwise be hear­ say. These exceptions go to situa­ tions in which there is reason to trust the evidence and where ,there is less potential for the verdict later being undercut.

One such exception concerns the testimony of an unavailable witness who previously testified under oath at a preliminary hearing. Provided rthat your adversary had an adequate op­ portunity to 'cross-examine this witness at that time, you may introduce the witness' testimony from that hearing. The notion is that this evidence is more trustworthy as it has been sub­ jected to that "ultimate engine for determining the truth" ­ cross-examination. .

Another hearsay exception permits statements you have made that are against your own interests. Suppose you are in­

volved in an auto accident and the first thing that the other driver says to you is, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run through that red light:" At trial, you can offer this evidence to show' that the accident was his fault.

Writings may also be con­ sidered hearsay statements. To­ (jay, business records are often an essential source of evidence.

One hearsay exception permits you to introduce as evidence records kept on a regular basis.

As accuracy would be in the 'business' self-interest, ,there is generaHy little reason to be­ Heve such records to be un­ trustworthy.

Even if a statement does not fall within a hearsay exception, it will not automatically be ex­ cluded. You must raise an ob­ jection to the hearsay evidence before the judge may disqualify it. Also, even if a statement is covered by a' hearsay exception, it is ,not automatically intro­ duced as evidence. This only means that it ds not excludable as hearsay. If you object" the , judge may still exclude the evi­ dence U, for example, it is ir­ relevant or if it is a privileged communication.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Bishop Joseph L. Imesch of Joliet, 111., will head the committee of U.S. bil!hops drafting a national pas­ toral letter on women.

Formation of the committee was announced by Msgr. Daniel F. Hoye, general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. .

'Besides Bishop Imesch, who called for the pastoral letter last November as chairman of the NCCB's Ad Hoc Committee on Women in Society and the' Church, the drafting committee will include Bishop Matthew H. Clark of Rochester, N.Y.; Bishop Thomas· J. Grady of Orlando, Fla.; Auxiliary Bishop Alfred C. Hughes of Boston; Auxiliary Bishop William Levada of los Angeles; and Auxiliary Bishop Amedee J. Proulx of Portland, Maine.

Even before the nation's bish­ ops approved the project last November, the pastoral provoked controversy. Some women op­ posed the idea of a pastoral on. women written by lPl all-male hierarchy.

Bishops defending the project argued that the role of women in church and society is an issue with serious moral and pastoral dimensions which the bishops have an obligation to confront.

They rejected the idea .of a joint statement issued by the bishops and women, saying that the pas­ toral was an NCCD -responsibility and that it was not within NCCB competence to issue a joint statement. pastoral is scheduled for completion in 1988. Meantime, consultation with women is ex­ pected to be a major part of the drafting process.

Responding to concerns about what the document might say about ordination of women to the priesthood, Bishop Imesch stressed that "the teaching of the church will be stated and re­ spected lin this document."

Despite its potential for con­ troversy, the bishops approved the pastoral project unanimous­ ly.

The U.S. bishops have also suggested the issue of women in church and society as a possible topic for the. 1986 Synod of Bishops, a triennial meeting in Rome to discuss major questions facing the church.

Teaching Judaism WASHINGTON (NC) A fuller understanding of "living Judaism" is needed in Catholic education so that Catholics can better know the origins of their own faith, an official of the Na­ tional Conference of Catholic Bishops said after attending a meeting with Jewish leaders.

Eugene Fisher, executive secre­ tary of the NCCB's Secretariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations, said that in 'a Vatican commis­ sion, in a major effort to pro­ mote changes' in teaching on Jews and Judaism, has drafted a set of teaching guidelines for use in Catholic schools.
