threatened St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River,' the only provider of pediatric in-patient hospital services in the Greater Fall River area, stands to be seriously affected by regulations proposed by the Massachusetts Rate Setting Commission.

The regulations, to be promulgated July 1 unless withdrawn, will adversely affect all hospitals in the commonwealth, but especially thos'e, such as St. Anne's, . that have no endowment funds upon which to draw. . The proposed regulations would substantially change criteria now governing hospital budgets and charge structures.

The effect would be to require hospitals to absorb continuous annual underpayments by federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs, thus forcing them into permanent positions of operating loss.

Many hospitals, including St. Anne's, serve patients awaiting nursing home beds. Reimbursement for such patients would be pegged to nursing home路 rates, although hospital costs are far . higher, due to services that must be available, even if not needed Turn to Page Six

Father Keane is suspended BOSTON (NC) Cardinal Humberto Medeiros of Boston has suspended Father John J. Keane, a priest of the Boston Archdiocese who opened three unauthorized chapels for the celebration of. the traditional Tridentine Latin Mass.

Father Keane, who was ordained in 1963, had his last official assignment in Boston at Holy Cross Cathedral, where he had been given permission to celebrate Mass in Latin with the reform ritual approved by Pope Paul VI. He left that assignment in 1973.

In the Tridentine Mass the priest offered the Latin Mass with his back to the congregation, while he now faces the people. Also, congregations today play a prominent role in Mass responses.

Cardinal Medeiros emphasized that the use of Latin was not the paramount cause of the suspension.

He noted particularly that Father Keane had celebrated "canonically invalid" marriages because the priest lacked the necessary church authority to perform the rites.

Father Keane who operated chapels in Boston, Scituate and Lawrence, said in a Boston Globe telephone interview that the suspension "doesn't change anything."

He added: "I intend to do it (celebrate the Tridentine Mass) until the day I die. I'm just sticking to my ordination vows despite what the cardinal says."

The 50-year-old priest served with the U.S. Marines and was a semi-professional .basketball player before beginning studies for the priesthood.

FATHER AVILA

Golden Jubilarian Father Jose M. Bettencourt e Avila, the former pastor of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel parish, New Bedford, will observe his golden jubilee of ordination on Saturday with a quiet celebration at his retirement home in Falmouth.

Father Avila was born Nov. 16, 1906 in the Azores. He studied at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, and was ordaLned June 14, 1930 by Bishop James E. Cassidy.

He served as an associate pastor at St. Anthony parish, Taunton, Immaculate Conception, New Bedford, and Our Lady of Health, Fall River, before being named pastor of St. Anthony parish, East Falmouth, in 1944.

In his Cape assignment Father Avila became known for his efforts' to beautify his small church, building his renovations around a striking painting of Our Lady of Fatima, !i0nated by a noted Portuguese artist.

In ceremonies at the Sisters of Mercy Provincialate in Cumberland, R.I. 16 sisters recently celebrated anniversaries in religious life. The one 7-year, seven 60-year and eight 50-year jubilarians included four with ties to the Fall River diocese.

er in urging immigrants to become citizens, while continuing to cherish their Portuguese cultural heritage, Father Avila was transferred to the pastorate of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

In his new post he continued his lively interest in the welfare of Portuguese immigrants, aiding in establishment of English as a Second Language programs and a bilingual library. He also converted a Mt. Carmel chapel into a baptistry in order to emphasize the revised rite of baptism.

In 1974 Father Avila retired from the pastoral ministry for reasons of health and since that time has lived in Falmouth.

themoorin~ The Silent Service

/

During the past two weeks most citizens of the Commonwealth have been inundated with information regarding the great power and prestige of the U.S. Navy. Indeed, the Navy itself has sent out publicity packets extolling its role in Operation Sail.

This is all well and good from a branch of the service that needs all the defense dollars it can draw from the federal budget. However, during the parade of Tall Ships, it wasn't the Navy or any other element of the defense department that was really doing the nitty-gritty work. It was the men and women of the Coast Guard who were out in the harbour keeping the parade in order.

This was but one more occasion during which the "Silent Service" branch of the department did its work unnoticed and unsung, far from the plaudits of the media. This is indeed unfortunate.

From this viewpoint, the Coast Guard is the poor stepson waiting for the hand-me-downs. Little has been written about the extraordinary efforts of the Coast Guard. during the present Cuban refugee crisis. It has been the Coast ,Guard that has taken the brunt of the work involved in handling the unprecedented flood of humanity reaching Florida daily.

Yet, while its work increases and the demands on its resources are unrelenting, there are those in Congress and the Administration who would cut the Coast Guard budget, limit its potential and restrict its capabilities.

With the public crying for paring federal expenses and inflation dominating foreign and domestic policy, the politicians react in their usual mindless and senseless manner.

To appease, placate and pacify a hurting public, they attempt to satisfy the clamor by any means that will insure silence and their own reelection.

Given the area in which we live, the treasures that are ours in the sea and its necessary future development and protection, the Coast Guard is more than a luxury.

Southeastern Massachusetts to date has few precious natural resources save the sea. Thus, for us" the Coast Guard is an indispensable necessity unless we wish to risk endangering our environment and the lives of our fishermen as well as becoming a haven for every type of dope pusher and blockade runner.

We depend on the Coast Guard to ensure the safety of our pleasure craft and the thousands of tourists who come to sail our waters. Many residents of the diocese are oniy too ready, during the quiet days of fall, to forget that summer tourism is one of our most important sources of income.

Too many say they are glad to see the tourists leave the area at the end of the season. Yet it is these same people who milk them dry while they are with us. We can't ignore the tourist, nor can we ignore the Coast Guard.

In these days of political power plays for votes, the federal budget has become a clarion call for votes. Attempts ' to sacrifice the Coast Guard budget have already been tried by those who seek the favor of the electorate. There are those in Congress who would spend moneys to study the nutritional value of chocolate-covered ants but who are willing to cut back on the life-sustaining services of the Coast Guard.

But the people of this area must see more clearly. No matter what the cost, we should support the irreplaceable work of the Silent Service.

The Holy Eucharist One of the most serious problems facing our church is our lack of esteem for the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Pope John Paul II addressed a Lenten letter to bishops entitled "Mystery and Worship of tte Holy Eucharist."

In it, he criticized the prominent trend of placing little emphasis upon venerating the mystery of the Eucharist or upon understanding its nature. He attributed this trend to erroneous applicatioJ1 of the directives of the Second Vatican Council.

The letter was not intended to be a repudiation of the changes implemented by the Second Vatican Council. Its intent was rather to warn the bishops of many abuses that have surfaced since that counci.l.

Indications of lessening esteem for the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist include declining attendance at Sunday Mass and in the number of participants in such Eucharistic devotions as personal prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, hours of adoration and Benediction. The pope's letter underscores his sensitivity to the deplorable state of worship in which the Church finds itself.

Tragically, many Catholics can attend a lifetime of Sunday Masses without receiving any adult instructions. This lack of adult education still plagues our parishes even after the Second Vatican Council. Perhaps there would have been fewer erroneous applications of council 'directives had priests and laity taken more

time and effort to implement the changes promulgated. Now 16 years after many of those changes were implemented, it has become necessary for the magisterium to rectify misunderstandings t1at reveal both a lack of sensitivity towards and understanding of this great sacrament.

Much 01' the problem is a measure of our times. We seem more concerned w:ith what the Mass, adoration or Benediction does for us rather than with what the Eucharist is in itself.

History may tell us that never have so ma.ny efforts been made to make mystery and worship "meaningful" by so many wellmeaning people so ignorant of the true meaning of the Eucharist.

Worship may never provide us with the pragmatic effects that we may want but it was never intended to do only that. It is precisely through its apparent uselessness for man that worship reveals its true goal of giving glory to God. We seem to forget that in ultimate terms contemplation has primacy over action.

points are a tribute to his perceptiveness as to the state of the church as it is in the real world.

Priests and laity should reflect upon these two significant quotes from this document: "Every priest who offers the , holy sacrifice should recall during this sacrifice it is not only he with his community that is praying but the whole church."

"Christ, when he is received in the Eucharist, should find in the heart of each of us a woriliy abode."

The pope specifically addressed two points upon which we should reflect. First, he criticized the tendency 01' some priests to take liberties with the approved liturgical text of the church. Second, he criticized a tendency of the laity to receive communion without due care to approach the sacrament of penance in order to purify one's conscience. Both

Teens and I received the following letter after I wrote about involving teens in music and other activities to keep them so busy they didn't have time for drugs. This mother, who shall remain anonymous, took issue with me, saying that music and drugs are closely related today. I feel her message is an important one to parents and I thank her for sharing her family's pain and love with us.

"Dear Dolores Curran: One of your columns, 'Keep That Teen Involved,' shouted at me with some glaring facts. You said, 'parents need to know what kind of friends their children select.'

Our daughter had become so sneaky and secretive that we couldn't know. She didn't allow us to know. She knew the score and was scared of our actions.

"Yes drugs and alcohol are major concerns of today's parents. Our daughter admits to five years of doing drugs. Today she is involved in a drug rehabilitation program which has never heard of a 'graduate: "You said, 'The child who is busy practicing music' - and ours was - 'simply doesn't have time for drugs or alcohol.' How I wish it were true. A child doesn't necessarily become aimless because of her home. Drugs are a major contribution. They are all that matters.

would play ping pong with neighborhood kids and then go to church youth group meetings.

"Nothing wrong with any of this, right? Wrong. All these occasions provided the opportunity for getting out, meeting the group, and using drugs. We knew the friends she had, but we didn't know until much later the kind of kids who came with them. And nobody ever told us Jenny attended church youth group for five minutes and then left, or that she never quite made it on a given night. We were content .. . she always came home on time!

"But music is what I want to discuss. It is directly tied into the drug culture. Gene Lees, a highly respected music critic, has made it very clear that the record industry must accept its share of blame for the growing number of deaths from the use of heroin and other drugs. Music and drugs are closely related.

Alfred Aronowitz, a former music critic, said that "if we really knew what today's music is saying, especially in the beat itself, we would not merely turn thumbs down on it, but we would ban it, smash it, and arrest those pushing it . . . " "Please write on this subject.

I have a long enough memory to recollect the time when' a skinny, bearded and beaded Michael Novak marched in the armies or '"vl,)lution and wrote luscious prose describing the revolution from the inside. Now a heavier Mr. Novak attends conservative political meetings, wears a vest, defends the traditional family and relaxes in a right-wing political think tank.

His pilgrimage has been marked by certain fundamental themes: Mr. Novak never acknowledges his past mistakes, never admits a change of position, never is plagued by uncertainty or doubt and never wonders why, if he was so wrong in previous incarnations; we should take him seriously in his most recent.

He has also shown little respect for the work of others who anticipated him in his most recent fashion. Thus in his ethnic period, he ignored the work of scholars who came before him, or when he did mention them, refuted them with his own rather peculiar analytic method autobiography.

One also looks in vain in Mr. Novak's work for much reference to other religious scholars - save to be critical of them.

One of his bete noirs for a long time has been Swiss theologian Hans Kung. In the middle 1960s

clamor to hear them. Music is a common obsession for many marijuana smokers when stoned, a fact not lost on the industry, as cash registers rang up astronomical sales in the 60's and 70's.

"From sad experience, I tell parents to check out the new record reviews in their daily paper. Listen to anyone of the rock stations. Learn a lot. Don't wait in ignorance. The songs are also printed in magazines in the local book racks. Read what your child is singing and playing. Check where he or she is really going and with whom.

You may offset some of the pain that we suffered later. Thank you for listening to me."

And thank you, Mrs. Anyparent, for sharing with us. Perhaps I was too hasty with my "solutions" to the drug problem. Perhaps all band and choir students aren't wholesome.

Certainly their friends and hangers-on can't be taken for granted. I would invite other parents with experiences of drugs, alcohol, and questionable friends to write and share. It is in this way that we can help one another and our children.

not Haitian,s, The president recently mentioned the Haitian refugees in an aside in a speech.

He promised that, like the Cubans, they will be treated "with all the humanity and the compassion which we have extended to other groups and which we extend to each other."

Vincent Palmieri, the refugee coordinator, obviously had not gotten the word about the new concern for the "black boat people." In a 17-page text for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, he referred to the Haitians on page 14, just once, and parenthetically.

It was typical, said Sue Sullivan, director of the Haitian Refugee project, of the way this administration treats Haitians in asides and parentheses.

The drama of the flood of Cubans washing onto Florida's shores and the bumpy evolvement of an "open arms" policy finally has won, the Haitians some much needed attention and at least lip-service about better treatment. ,Palmieri was extremely defensive under questioning by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who came in briefly from the cold of the campaign trail to give the adminstration a little muchneeded prodding on the shameful treatment accorded Haitians fleeing the fascist oppression of "Baby Doc" Duvalier.

The official position is that while the Cubans, except for those found to be criminals, are genuine political refugees, the Haitians are simply seeking the economic advantages of living in the United States.

Sullivan and the civil rights, religious, black and labor leaders who have been pressing the president to acknowledge that the Haitians are "yearning to breathe free" just as much as the Cubans, have been given short shrift by the White House.

The Haitians seem to have two strikes against them. One is that they are black - although Palmieri denied any "racism" in the policy - the other is that they have escaped a country with which we have diplomatic relations. Our present refugee law holds that life in a rightwing dictatorship :..... even if it includes imprisonment, torture and death - is somehow more tolerable than similar unpleasantries in a police state of Marxist cast.

The Cubans embarrass and expose Fidel Castro; the Haitians, alas, have no propaganda value.

So the Haitians who have risked their lives to make the 900-mile voyage across the open waters there are between 13,000 and 20,000 of them in South Florida have been jailed, deported, subjected to

By

MARY McGRORY harsh and arbitary deportation hearings or coerced to sign "voluntary return" papers.

Palmieri bristled at Kennedy's questioning about the president's intentions with regard to these pitiful refugees.

"We will not be stampeded into action," he declared.

"Stampeded?"

The Haitian problem is seven years old, has been the subject of repeated court cases, public appeals and official inquiries from the Inter-American Commission On Human Rights.

"Can you give me a straight answer," Kennedy asked.

"We are considering various ways of acting on the problem," Palmieri replied stiffly. "We don't want to take a premature position."

But the "human rights" Carter adminstration seems unlikely to make life livable for the unwaned Haitians, even though they know that Haitians sent back to the "open arms" of President Duvalier can expect jail, torture or execution.

Carter is willing, at most, under the pressure of the moment to promise to be nice to any "black boat people" who make it here from now on.

It is easy to do While Haitians were landing in Florida at the rate of 1,000 a month for the first three months of 1980, a new crackdown has reduced their numbers to a handful. On April 13, 400 boat people were "drowned by smugglers."

Sixty more caught soon after, were imprisoned. On April 19, Duvalier called on all Haitian officials to exercise "strict surveillance" on the coastline and to turn in any possible fugitives.

Palmieri complained there is "a misconception" about the differing ways in which the Immigration Service has greeted Haitians and Cubans.

"Do you think you can convince anyone of that?" asked Kennedy sardonically.

Said Palmieri, "I think it is not in the best interest of our nation to suggest that this administration is dealing with this problem in anything but an even-handed way."

Walter Fauntroy, the D.C. delegate, did more than suggest it. He followed Palmieri to the stand and characterized the Carter policy toward the Haitians as one of "gross hypocrisy and racism."

Fr. Doyle Theology Institute speaker "Preaching as Jesus did" will be the theme of the seventh annual Theology Institute for diocesan clergy, to be held at La Salette Center, Attleboro, June 17-18 and June 19-20.

Rev. Stephen Doyle, OFM, STL, SSL, will offer five conterences dealing with obstacles to good preaching, the basic content

of preaching, the nature of the homily, steps involved in homily preparation and the need to close the gap between scriptural scholarship and preaching.

Presenting Jesus and His disciples as the models for contemporary preaching, Father Doyle believes that the homily should be "a meditation by one who

has come alive by the power of the Word."

He is currently professor of Sacred Scripture and -Biblical Preaching act 'Pope John XXIII Seminary, Weston. He holds a degree in sacred theology from the Catholic: University of America and in sacred scripture from the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. _ An international lecturer, Father Doyle has directed workshops on scripture and preaching in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ireland and other countries. Annually he leads a retreat-study pilgrimage to the Holy Land for persons involved in church ministry.

The author of numerous books and articles, he also conducts radio and television series for the Boston archdiocese.

He last addressed members of the Fall River diocese at a charismatic study day in February; and he spoke to diocesan clergy in January on the Book of Revelation.

The Theology Institute is sponsored by the, diocesan Office of Continuing Education of Clergy, directed by Rev. Michel G. Methot.

Several other restrictive regulations are proposed, which would have the net effect, not only of reducing hospital services but, in the case of the 17 Catholic hospitals in the commonwealth, of limiting policy-shaping powers hitherto enjoyed by bishops, religious communities and trustees involved with such hospitals. The situation becomes serious in view of current concern with the sanctity of human life and Catholic teaching with regard to many bioethical problems.

Other effects of the new regulations might be large-scale hospital staff layoffs, observers noted, pointing out that in many communities hospitals are among the largest employers.

A hearing on the regulations is set for June 19 in Boston, following which they will go to Governor King for approval. It is suggested that concerned citizens communicate with him before that time, indicating their opposition to changes in regulations promulgated under Chapter 409 of the Acts of 1976. Governor King may be addressed at the State House, Bos~on 02133.

'Smoke came forth from his nostrils and scorching fire from his mouth: coals were set ablaze by its heat."

The psalmist's description of the power of God manifest in the uncontrolled fury of nature. as seen in the volcanic eruption (such as Mt.

Day of the deacons "You and I have just lived history," said Bishop Daniel A. Cronin to.an overflow congregation"'at St. Mary's Cathedral, last Saturday. His words, followed the first diocesan ordination to the' permanent diacon· ate, at which 13 men were admitted to holy orders.

Rain did .nothing to dampen the. majesty of the service. The downpour, said the bishop, "from my Irish point of view could be considered a mist of God's blessing, making the ground fertile."

Carrying on the analogy, he, told' the deacons, "The ministry is ready for you, the field is fertile. May the-blessings of heaven and my own be with you and yours always."

Noting that Qne. of .the ordiRation prayers included the words, 'IAlmighty God, you remain uncbang,ed but you watch over all crea~ tion and make it new," the bishop declared that "we are today in the tradition of making all things new at the same time as the Lord and his church remain unchanged." . ':-'1;/1;.., ' )n.~· !"hiE'.... >".: '~ He paid tribute "from a deepllappreciative heart" to Father John F. Moore, deacon program di~r, and to those who conducted courses, workshops or retreats f01"I,the candidates.

A high point in the ceremony came when the deacons' wives .brought the ordinands' vestments· of office in procession to the altai.

They were handed to assisting priests, who then vested the new deacons. , In the case of Deacon John W. Cwiekowski, his wife handed his vestments to his son, Father' Bruce Cwiekowski, who then vested his father,an emotional moment whiCh brought tears· to the eyes of some in the congregation.

A reception at St. Stanislaus .school hall for all the deacons followed the Mass of ordination. Throughout the weekend the newly appointed men were further honored at fa~ily and parish celebrations.

They will receive their first official diaconal assigilments in September, although some may assist in their parishes or elsewhere before that time.

Also in S~ptember, the second class of diocesan deacon candidates will begin tl;l~ second year cf their three-year course of studies leadin~ to ordination. .

One reader suggested that you and others like you write to the

national headquarters of Com,passionate Friends, Box 1347, Oak BrOok, Ill. 60521.

Your pain is. a very special one, compounded by grief and guilt. Grief comes from the loss.

You no longer have your daughter around. Guilt comes from the feeling' that you should have done m~re for her.

Guilt can paralyze you. Do not let yourself be overcome by feelings of self-blame. Instead, use any guilt you may feel as an inc:entive to better love those who are still with you.

All loss provokes an "if only I . . . " reaction. Every problem can be analyzed quite clearly by hindsight. Such analysis is endless - and also useless. You must give up this reconstructiOll of the past.

We are not responsible for the behavior of another adult. God himself gives us our freedom to act. Your daughter was his daughter too.' Should God feel guilty? . . Yet your loss remains. You miss your daughter's presence.

She has gone and· by her own l

volition. That causes pain.

You should allow yourself to expreSs all the emotion·you feel, aU the hurt, the sadness, the em~ barrassment, the anger. Yes, ,even the anger. Your daughter with her, death left those she loved and 'those who loved her.

Anger is a very normal" partial . reiponse to being left. You should not hide from your negative feelings just ~ause your daughter is dead.

Then you- must get used to life without_your daughter. It will take time. for her memory to fade..... After a while,. it will be important for YO\l to replace her. The love you received from her ean perhaps 'come from someone el~. The love you gave to ber can eventually be given to another.

Finally, have faith in a loving; God. Do you .love your daughter and forgive her? I suspect God, who is 'certainly more loving than any of us, can do no less.

Talk to your God. Questions on family Hving and child care are invited. Address to The Kennys clo TIle Anchor, P.o~ Box 7, Fall River, Mass.

By Father John Dietzen Q. I've been t() many Catholic funerals and weddings. Frankly, I' am mystified often by the differing numbers of priests attending such events. At ee.rtalJi ones many priests are present; at others not even the pastor is there to officiate. How do you explain this different kind of treatment for different people?

(MaSSo)

A. As pastor of a fairly large parish, I am sensitive to the concerns you bring up. I know that no matter how simple and often obvious the answer, misunderstandings inevitably arise, and, to tell the truth, rash judgments too often result.

Usually, the answer is quite obvious when one knows the background of the individuals involved. With almost no exceptions, the explanation is simply that the individual has worked (often in a very quiet wayy), in 0

many priests. Or it hluy be that the family itself includes some priests, or just close friends who are priests.

Many such details would of course not be familiar to persons who do not know the family intimately.

As for which priest performs a wedding or funeral, in most parishes I believe that depends simply on which priests are free to do so and who is able to work best with the family in making arrangements for the wedding or funeral. I have always found people thoroughly understanding and thoughtful in such situations.

Q. I am confused about creation. When I was, little I was told that reptiles and dinosaurs came first. Recently I read that Adam and Eve came first. Can you tell me the answer? (illinois)

o

A. Yours is a scientific question, not a religious one. But I am confident that scientists would unanimously assert that prehistoric creatures such as dinosaurs predated mankind on the earthly scene. Whether they did or not, however, is totally irrelevant to our faith; such questions are not addressed by the Bible or other Christian sources of revelation.

Q. fm almost ashamed t() ask these questions. However, are there any priests who would approve of abortion? Also, would any priest approve of divorce under the guise of annulment?

(Connecticut) A. I would like to know more exactly what you mean by an abortion. There are, and always have been, certain medical procedures which are sometimes called abortive (since they result in the death of the baby), but which' are perfectly moral.

If you mean direct abortion of a human fetus which the Catholic Church teaches is clearly and seriously immoral, there are priests who would question that,

o

one way or another. I suppose it is their right to do so personally, as long as they are careful not to present themselves as Catholic priests, teaching as official representatives of the church, .when they give their private opinion.

Unfortunately this distinction is not always remembered or observed.

No individual priest, even in a marriage tribunal, makes decisions about annulments. It would therefore be impossible for any parish priest, for instance, to "approve of divorce under the guise of annulment." The investigations and consequent judgments in such cases go far beyond the personal inclinations and feelings of any individual involved in that process.

"Unless there are radical improvements either in its income or in its financial management, in filct, the Vatican will be in a bookkeeping sense bankrupt in about five years," said the articte, written by Tana de Zulueta and Francesco D' Andrea.

(In Rome, Vatican press spokesman, Father Romeo Panciroli, told NC News that the Times' figures migbt be approximately correct, but final figures for last year were not yet available. He said the article was right in reporting an increase over the predicted deficit, but he could not verify the amount.)

The article said Vatican finnances are in a state of confusion and the complete picture is still shrouded in secrecy. The cardinals were not given a complete picture of the situation, it said. The authors said secrecy surrounds the Vatican Bank, headed by U.S.-born Bishop Paul Marcinkus. They also said the bank has secret resources.

"The fact is that the Vatican appears broke only if the secret resources of its bank are excluded from the sums," said the article.

The article also said that the Peter's Pence collection has risen substantially because of the more charismatic personality of Pope John Paul II. The collection had dwindled to $3.5 million under Pope Paul VI and the collection in 1978, the year Pope John Paul II was elected, was $5.8 million, it added.

St. Paul

II Single life

By Cecilia Bennett

II

By Father John J. Castelot

G

II路

Poor St. Paul! He receives so much abuse from people who do not know or who ignore one of the first rules of literary criticism: any writing must be read and understood within its general and immediate context.

Advocates of women's lib abhor Paul's supposedly sexist views. In all honesty, it must be admitted that Paul wrote in a male-dominated culture. Some of his statements are less surprising when that is kept in mind.

But, consider this statement of his: "There does not exist among you Jew or Greek, slave or free man, male or female. All are one (person) in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:28). Any man who could make that statement was surely struggling toward development of a new culture, a new Christian order. /\. passage from Paul which has often been lifted out of context is the following: "The unmarried man is busy with the Lord's affairs, concerned with pleasing the Lord; the married man is busy with the world's demands and occupied with pleasing his wife. This means he is divided. The virgin - indeed, any unmarried woman - is concerned with things of the.' Lord, in pursuit of holiness iJ) body and spirit. The married woman, on the other hand, has the cares of the world to absorb her and is concerned with pleasing her husband." (1 Cor. 7:32-34).

As it stands, this passage has often been understood as an indication that one can lead a fully Christian life only outside marriage. The clear implication is that a great percentage of Christians are relegated to mediocrity.

But what did Paul mean? Only a study of the context can answer that. In the immediately preceding verses is a clear indication of what Paul's real con- . cerns were: "'I tell you, brothers, the time is short . . . for the world as we know it is passing away" (1 Cor. 7:29-31).

'Paul shared with his fellow Christians of that first generation a firm expectation of the iminent return of the risen Lord.

Throughout this section of the letter he is exhorting the Corinthians to be detached from the concerns of this life. They should be regarded as of no real moment in view of the Lord's coming.

Obviously, the situation has changed since Paul's day. In fact, a great many married couples are profoundly "concerned with the things of the Lord." One can opt for marriage selfishly or unselfishly. . And in our changing cultural patterns an increasing number of young men and women are choosing the single, lay state out of the best motives. It is unchristian to regard them with suspicion or to embarrass them by forcing them to justify their chQice.

In the most basic sense, our condition before the Lord is single - each of. us stands before him an individual human being.'

Every person struggles with intimacy, hopes, fears, sexuality, loneliness, security. Either the single or the married can avoid responsible behavior; both work at s,elf-definition by the way路 they deal with these struggles.

Third, being single shouldn't mean being solitary. Yet, in praCtice, the church too often tends to regard being single as a temporary stage which can be left relatively unattended. So parish structures are concerned with those who are married or in a nuclear family. Those who are single often fall between the cracks. ' Singles have much to offer as well as to gain from others.

Parish leaders can take this into account, not路 just by having groups and activities for singles, but by providing opportunities for different groups to come together, and be strengthened by one another as persons, living out what they perceive God's call to them to be.

Contrary to the popular stereotype about singles today, not all are egocentric, isolated individuals out only for a good time.

Being single requires the same fidelity to self, to becoming, to which all are called. This call to fidelity is a continuing process that puts us in relationship with others and is nourished through these relationships. The lonely single is often a person who lacks relationships with friends, family or church community.

Development of these relationships is often difficult for the single. Society, on .the one hand, puts pressure on singles to appear as part of a couple, and on the other, perpetuates the image of the swinging single who never puts his or her feet on the ground.

'Parents and other relatives often put pressure on singles to settle down, marry and have children, while churches, through liturgies and homilies, often give singles the impression that there is no place offered to them.

If families and churches are aware of such obstacles, they can work to overcome them.

As a single person involved with the church, academic studies, a career, family and friends, I have experienced the rewards of these relationships. This past Christmas, I spent an enjoyable three weeks with my sister, brother-in-law and 2-year-old neice in Rome. My being single enabled us to be together as a family during the holidays. Together we did some traveling, celebrated Christmas, and spent long hours talking.

The parish community can make a conscious effort to include singles.. Festivities such as picnics and field days should include singles. They should be invited to participate in liturgies and religious education programs Singles themselves can form support groups to help sponsor parish activities.

Singles can offer the parish much that others, because of circumstances, cannot. The parish as a community of faith and service can support the single.

Together, singles, couples, religious and the ordained can grow in mutually beneficial relationships.

As a child Jesus saw how much Mary and Joseph loved one another and he felt their love for him.

From his life at home Jesus knew how beautiful marriage can be and how wonderful it is for a man and woman to love each other so much they want to live together all their lives.

But as Jesus grew up, he heard a mysterious call to give up the joys and responsibilities of marriage.

At a time when there is so much finger-pointing at the youth, . so much lamenting about youth delinquency, it is good to reflect that the flood of publicity given youth delinquency clouds the fact that the delinquents are in the minority and that the achievements of the non-delinquents are too often unnoticed.

If one looks around, there are oodles of noteworthy achievements by youthful members of society, some in the area of scholastics, others in social activities.

Two examples come to mind - there are dozens, but these will make the point - Lisa Barresi of Bishop Stang High School and Jeff Medeiros of Durfee High School, both outstanding athletes.

Certainly one of the best, if not the best tennis player in Stang's history, Miss BarreS'i ranks second in this year's graduating class of. 200 and has been a member of the National Honor Society for the past three years.

In addition to being a member of the school's Monthly Mass Group she has served as

astics is concerned. In the case of Jeff Medeiros, the accent is on social service.

Jeff is a volunteer part-time driver for the Catholic Guild for the Blind. That in itself is admirable because it means he gives up leisure time to perform. this deed of charitable neighborliness.

Recently a group of Durfee thespians put on a play on the life of Helen Keller and her lifelong friend, Annie Sullivan. The play ran three nights and at each performance Jeff arranged for a collection to be made. The proceeds were turned ove~ to the Catholic Guild for the Blind to be used for a dinner or an outing. Does this show solicitude for the afflicted? It sure does: Those are only two examples of worthy actions or achievements by young people. There are other examples galore. No, they're not all bad!

Some All Star Teams Pitcher Gary Cathcart of Holy Family High has gained a full scholarship to George Southwest. Named to the New Bedford Standard-Times All-Star baseball team, Gary has not decided· whether to attend that college or Southeastern Mass. University.

Back to shekel JERUSALEM {NC)-Israel has changed the name of its currency to the shekel, the same term used for money during the time of Abraham.

The shekel replaces the Israeli pound as the offical name of the country's currency. Each shekel is worth 10 pounds. When the change was announced, the pound was worth about 2.5 cents, making the shekel worth about 25 cents.

This is a "return to our biblical sources," said Finance Minister Jigael Hurwitz.

The Bible says Abraham paid 400 silver shekels for a burial site for his wife.

However, Israel's new shekels are not silver coins, but the same paper bills as used before with only the printing changed to reflect the new name.

The Bristol County CYO Baseball League, which opened its season last Sunday night, has a twin bill scheduled for Chew Park, Fall River, tonight, starting at 6 o'clock with North Catholic vs. Kennedy. Central Catholic and South Catholic will meet in the nightcap at 8:15.

Pasquale (Pat) Abbruzzi, for-· mer coach at Warren High School, has been named head coach of football at Durfee High School. He was introduced to his players yesterday afternoon in the Luke Urban Field House.

New Film In "The Last Flight of Noah's Disney - Buena Ark" (Walt Vista) a down-on-his-luck pilot named' Noah Dugan (Elliott Gould), pursued by strong-arm men in the employ of a bookie to whom he owes money, agrees, against his soundest aviation instincts, to fly an ancient B-29 from California to an island in the South Pacific.

His passenger is to be a woman missionary (Genevieve Bujold) who wants to introduce the natives to the benefits of North American-style agriculture and is taking them assorted domestic animals. Two added starters are child stowaways, Bobbie and Julie (Ricky Schroder and Tammy Lauren), who don't trust Dugan to be kind to the animals they have raised.

When the plane goes off course and runs out of gas, Dugan crash lands it on an island beach. Everyone survives and with the help of two Japanese naval officers left stranded 35 years before, Dugan and company turn the old bomber into a fairly sturdy sailing craft and launch out into the Pacific.

All of this may sound fairly silly but "Noah's Ark" has a lighthearted grace that is irresistible.

The cast is just fine and the impression given is that everyone is having a good time.

New NFP group WINDSOR, Vt. (NC) - New England Natural Family Planning directors have formed an organization to promote the Catholic teaching on marriage,· the family and sexuality contained in documents of the Second Vatican Council and Pope Paul VI's encyclical, "Humanae Vitae" (On Human Life).

Called Humanae Vitae Renewal (HVR), the organization is open to all who share its views.

Marshall Fightlin, a marriage and family counsellor and president of the new organization, said it will emphasize the sacramental dimension of marriage, seek to bring about a deeper understanding of the implications of Christian love, and stress the links between marriage, sexuality and fertility.

HVR headquarters are at 45 Union St., Windsor, Vt. 05089.

Films on TV Sunday, JUDe IS, 9-11 p.m.

(NBC) "The Bridge at Remagen" (1969) - The story of the American detachment sent to capture the last bridge over the Rhine is dramatically counterpointed with that of the German unit ordered to dynamite it. The film's gutsy resolution involves a recognition by both sides of the horrible human toll of World War II and its violent action is shown with the bite of reality and compassion.

A3 Wednesday, June 18, 8:30-11 p.m. (CBS) - "That's Entertainment, Part 2" (1976) As did its predecessor, this movie anthology offers highlights from the musical heyday of the MGM· studio as well as brief glimpses of some of its most famous stars. It should be fun, except for people who happen to loathe tap dancing. Al
