Plans Workshop For Teachers

Approve Tribunal Norms for U.5.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Bishop James Rausch, general secretary of the U. S. Catholic Conference has hailed a Supreme Court ruling affirming the right of disadvantaged parochia) school students to receive federal aid on a comparable basis with public school students as a "victory for responsible public policy."

The decision, according to Bishop Rausch, "refutes the view -widely put forward following the court's anti-'aid' decisions a year ago-that the Constitution bars any and all forms of public assistance to children who exercise their right to attend nonpublic schools."

The decision iii the Wheeler v. Barrera, said Bishop Rausch, joins "other 'Supreme Court rulings over the past several years which make it clear that, while some forms of aid to nonpublic education may not meet constitutional tests, nevertheless legislatures can devise student assistance programs which meet all constitutiona,1 tests."

The court ruled 8 to 1 June 10 that parochial school students m\lst share in federal funds for educationaally deprived students

on a comparable basis with public school students under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The court added, however, that "comparable"- aid does not necessarily mean "identical" aid.

Suit ,was brought by parents of parochial school students in Kansas City, Mo., who contended that Missouri was in violation of the law since no state paid teachers were being assigned to work with disadvantaged children on the premises of parochial schools during regular school hours. The state argued that 'such services were in direct violation of Missouri's constitution.

In a 24-page opinion for the court, Justice Harry Blackmun found that services provided eligible parochial school students in Missouri were "plainly inferior, both qualitatively and quantitatively to those given public school pupils. The court asserted that comparable but not necessarily identical programs would have to be offered parochial schoo) students, but left it to Missouri officials to determine whic:1. of "numerous"

forms of comparable aid should be chosen.

In response to charges that no other type of aid is comparable to on-the-premlses instruction during regular school hours, Justice Blackmull responded that courts cannot take on the burden of judging the relative merits of educational programs.

While ultimate responsibility and control over Title I funds for the educationally disadvantaged must rest with the public school agencies, according to the court, "a program which provides in· struction and equipment to the public school children and the same equipment but no instruction to the private school chilo dren cannot, on its face, be comparable."

The court did not rule on the constitutionality of a plan under which public scnool teachers would be sent to teach in parochial schools since no such plan was at issue in the case. The court did say, however, that First Amendment implications may vary according to the "precise contours" of such a plan.

According to Justice BlackTurn to Page Four

O.K. Mode·1 Pilgrim Week VATICAN OIT (NC) - The Vatican's Central Committee for the Holy Year has approved a "model week" that pilgrims to Rome in 1974 may follow to take full advantage of the spiritual devotions and privileges attached to Holy Year in the Eternal City.

The model week plan also provides ,pilgrims with the choice of taking part in a five-day or seven-day organized round of visits to the major basilicas of Rome, various other liturgical ceremonies, an audience with the Pope and other jubilee year observances. Pilgrims in Rome for less than five days can join in the daily pilgrimage schedule as they wish.

"We estimate that most pil· grims coming to Rome wil1 be here for five days to a week." explained the central committee's press chief, Father Carlo GasparrL "So we have tried to arrange an organized series of spiritual events -that will allow the group pilgrimages as well as the individual pilgrims to participate to the full jn the spiritual riches of the Holy Year and have the indulgences attached." ·Father Gasparrri, noting that the various estimates of the number of Holy Year pilgrims who will visit Rome have ranged from six million to 25 million, said they were all probably inaccurate "because, as of now, no one really knows exactly how many will come. There will be thousands and tens of thousands, that we know. ,But we can't provide statistics at this time."

The model week for pilgrims, as it is now conceived, includes a community celebration of Mass in 51. Peter's each Sunday, with the possibility of Pope Paul VI

being present for the Mass, or for the sermon or at least for a final benediction. Throughout the week, community celebrations and Mass will be celebrated daily

in 'each of the four major basil· icas in Rome: 51. Peter's, St. Paul's Outside-the-Wall, 5t. John Lateran's and St. Mary Major's as well as at the catacombs.

Catholic Pentacostalism -. By PAT McGOWAN What is the' Catholic Pentecostal 'movement? Many in the Fall River diocese have asked that question as they have heard of a tremendous growth jn awareness of the power of the Holy Spirit in the American Church. Answers are not far.

An ever-growing prayer group meets several times weekly at St. Patrick's parish, Filii River, and in neighboring Providence there is an entire "Pentecostal" parish, also St. Patrick's. .

But its members dislike the labels of "Pentecostal" or "charismatic," saying "We just want to be a fully Catholic parish."

Rev. John Randall, who has written a book about the Provjdence 'parish, says, "We see the Lord leading us to the center of Christian life."

His book, "In God's Provo idence," published by the Living Flame Press of Locust Valley, N. Y., details the growth of the St. Patrick community, from 1967 to the present. At that time, Father Rand-aU relates, he was "turned off" by the idea of "spiritual excesses" which he' associated with the Penteocastal movement, but .in several remarkable ways it became clear to him that he should follow the ' guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Real Community He said he was on a retreat when "a flash of thou~:ht, a grace, went through my mind.

I had my New,Testament in my hand and I said to myself, 'You know, if you took just this little book and really tried to live it, believing what it says, and got a few others to do the same, maybe you'd have a real Chris· tian community.'''

That initial inspiration led step by step to the pl'esent Providence parish, which Ilum-

bers 700 families, operates a flourishing school and attracts hundreds to its p,rayer meetings, "Life in the Spirit" seminars and concelebrated Sunday Mass.

Many families ·have even taken the step of moving from various suburbs into the "dying innercity .parish" that was St. Patrick's.

From Diocese One member of the Fall River diocese who declares her life was changed Iby attendance at St. Patrick's is Martha Flanigan of Swansea. Now a student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, she was previously enrolled at Providence College: While there, said Martha, she attended a St. Patrick's prayer meeting "out of curiosity."

Very skeptical at first, she was more and more impressed by the "spirit and friendliness" of those present. "I watched from the side to begin with," she related, "but I found' the presentation well-ba·lanced and theologically sound. I started going to meetings regularly and for the first time started really reading the gospels.

"Then I thought about it and prayed about it and decided to take the eight-week Life in the Spirit course. At the end of the course, if we wanted we could

Archbishop Baum Greets New Bishop' WASHINGTON (NC) - The establishment of the new diocese of Arlington, Va., and the nam· ing of its first bishop was welcomed here by Archbishop Wil· liam W. Baum of Washington.

ask to be prayed' over to receive the baptism of, the Spirit. So, I did.

"The laying on of hands was a very friendly thing and for me the baptism wasn't sudden, frightening or uncomfortablejust the most natural thing in the world to happen.

"It was like a realization coming fantastically clear, a confirming of something I believed in.

"Everything about you says 'Yes,' that's the best way I can describe it," she summed up.

Not Necessary Once baptized in the Holy Spirit, said Martha, it's nice to have a community to be a part of, hut it's not vitally necessa·ry.

"I went away to school, and al: though there was a grayer group on the campus, I wasn't led to join it. But that didn't change my interior feeling." ' But Martha will be happy this summer, she indicated, to rejoin the St. Patrick's community.

She attended a crowded prayer meeting last Friday night and renewed friendships with several contemporaries. Notable, however, was the age span of 'meeting participants, ranging from tots to ,senior citizens.

The format was simple: Bible readings, 'spontaneous prayer and singing, many reflective silences anq a few speakers witnessing •to the power of the Spirit in their Hves. Some speaking in tongues was heard, accepted as normally as the more orthodox forms of petition.

Usually, explained Martha, a person speaking in tongues does not know what he or she is saying. Another group member, granted the gift of interpretation , may sometimes translate what has been said.

"Just as members of the early Church based their lives on the

gospels, these everyday people dom of His Father right in our are trying to do the same-and midst. He's still here in power to the amazement of many, it ,working miracles, speaking proworks. Seemingly impossible phetically, giving out wisdom. situations melt before solutions All we have to do is seek Him, .touched with divine wisdom, seek Him deeply, and He will transform us, and tr,ansform our and often humor."

Concludes Father Randall: parishes into living parishes, our "What's really happening is that communities into living commuJesus is building up the king- nities."

Commencement

Ill;)~J;

Those graduating on various levels of academic accomplishment are to be congratulated. A college or graduate '..J} degree, a high $chool diplorpa, the graduation from grammar school-all these mark steps in aperson!s life. Perhaps the term "commencement" means even more than the term "graduation." 'It is the reminder that the step taken is not only a tribute to the past, an acknowledgement of past success, but looks forward to the future.

Every step forward means a step into greater responsibility, not only for oneself but, for one's world.

There has been, over the Jast decade, a great emphasis upon the individual. This has been necessary to combat the relentless thrust of technology which has tended to make the individual seem small and unimportant and of little value. But the danger in the emphasis on the individual is that it has been an emphasis on his faults and failings, or an emphasis that would make him completely self-centered and all too introspective. " Emphasis on the individual is for the sake of making him aware of his role as a child of God, making his aware of his' true goal in life, union with God, making his aware that in his journey through this life toward that goal there sh~uld be happiness with humor, accomplishment with integrity, success with decency. It is never a self-awareness o,so that the individual becomes wrapped up in his own life to the exClusion of God ~r. man or contribution to his community. It is never a self-consciousness that would lead" to neuroticism. It is never an emphasis on self that would make oneself the center and goal of all persons and things.

Holy Name Pupils First to Complete First Aid Course In ceremonies held at Holy Name School, Fall River, 28 seventh .and eighth grade students received Red Cross basic first aid certificates, signifying completion of a new course for grammar school students.

The Holy Name group was the first in the Greater Fall River Red Cross territory to take the course, part of a continuing mini-course program at the' school.

School Mothers Instructors, all school mothers and registered nurses who had taken a Red Cross instructortraining course, were Mrs. Jean Shea, Mrs. Eileen Conlon and Mrs. Margaret Sullivan. Also aiding in the' instruction was Mrs. Eileen Medeiros.

Red Cross Chapter Chairman Billy Dean Tutt presented the certificates. He said, "The concept of the easic First Aid Red Cross Course was. developed with the feeling that boys and girls of grammar school age and activity had sufficient common sense to be trained to help care for their injured playmates and others who might need first ajd."

Court Decision Continued from Page One mun's opinion a former parochia·1 school teacher is paid with that Title I funds to teach fullti!T!e in a parochial school undoubtedly ,would present quite ' diferent problems than if a public school teacher, a solely under public control, is sent into a parochial school to teach special remedia'l courses a few hours a week."

The court said that while it would be difficult, it would not be impossible to devise comparable services without providing on-the-premis.es instruction to private schools. .u the state is unable to provide such a plan, the court said Missouri could abolish on-premises Title I teaching during regular school hours in public schools and set up "neutral sites or summer programs" for disadvantaged students. Barring that, the court said, the state is free to withdraw from the Title I program.

Title i Title I funds provide remedial help for students, especially in mathematics and reading. In Missouri over 65 per cent of Title -I funds were used to provide personnel for remedial instru'ction.

In a concurring position, Justice Byrori White said he was "pleasantly surprised" by the , suggestion in the court's ruling that "federal funds may in some respects be used to finance sectarian instruction of students in private elementary and secondary schools. If this is the case, I suggest that the Court should say so expressly. FaiHng that; however, I concur in the judgment."

Justice White dissented in the June 1973 decisions of the court which ruled out New York and Pennsylvania plans to aid nonpublic schools.

Natural Family Planning Clinic Opens in Boston

tHE ANCHORThurs., June 13, 1974

Archbishop Once Jailed by Nazis

BOSTON (NC) - The formation of a natural family planning clinic, to be funded by the U.S. O€,partment of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), was anannounced here by Cardinal Humberto Medeiros of Boston.

Sponsored by St. Margaret's I(ospital and Laboure Center, the program will receive financial support from the Boston Family Planning Project, a local dispensing agent for HEW. Preliminary efforts for the natIlral family planning clinic began in 1972 when a local physician and registered nurse held th~ first classes.

Thl' ovulation and symptothermic methods will be taught at the clinic.

Approval of the project covers a six-month period retroactive to March 1 and ending Aug. 31.

Among the special features of thE' clinic will be a complete medical examination for mothers as they take part in the sessions.

Natural Techniques Spanish-speaking materials will be available in the program, together with . Spanish-speaking aides and nurses. However, the program is not restricted to Spanish-speaking couples. or to Catholics, or to residents of Boston.

HE'W regulations require that family planning projects receiving funds provided by HEW must provide natural family planning techniques among its other methods.

An HEW spokesman in Washington said that his department encourages family planning projects to provide all methods of family planning. However, a hin- . drance to esta,blishing more natural family planning clinics is a lack of qualified instructors.

To help alleviate this problem, the Human Life Foundation, he noted, is currently embarked on a project to train more instructors in the natural methods of family planning.

The methods taught in most family planning clinks, the HEW spokesman said, are usually responses to the needs and desires of the community.

He said he could give no estimate as to how many projects offer the natural family planning methods.

Plan Crusade Against Cruelty LONDON (NC) -- A crusade will be launched in London against cruelty and for love.

A rally to initiate the crusade has been organized here by the Order of Christian Unity, an interdenominational group.

Lady Lothian, a Catholic, chairman of the group, sa·id that cruelty today tends too often to conjure up a concept of suffering animals rather than human beings.

But the new crusade, she said, will call for love and compassion to .end such cruelties as euthanasia, abortion, broken homes and the wrong kind of sex education.

She described members of the Order of Christian Unity as "modern moral moderates."

PADERBORN (NC)-The new .head of the Paderborn archdiocese, Archbishop Johannes Jonchim Degenhardt, was sentenced to three weeks in jail by the Nazis when he was 15 years old.

He was then thrown out of high school on the order of the Nazis "because of political unreliabil.ity." The Nazis considered him too good a Catholic.

Both he and his family were very active in parish affairs and were blacklisted by the Nazis.

Shortly before the end of the war, however, he was drafted into the air force and later was taken as a prisoner of war.

Released in 1946, he resumed his studies and entered the Pader· born seminary. He was ordained 11 priest in 1952 by Cardinal Lorenz Jaeger, who recently resigned as archbishop of Paderhorn. He was named the cardinal's auxiliary in 1968 and was consecrated May 1 of that year.

The new archbishop was born at Schwelm, Germany, Jan. 31, 1926.. ~

Publishes Booklet as Holy Year Aid Wt\SHINGTON (NC) - "Towards Reconciliation," a booklet

by Jesuit Father Walter Burghardt, newly appointed professor of theology at tbe Catholic Univerity of America. has been pub-.

Iished by the U.S. Catholic Conference as an aid to participation in the 1975 Holy Year.

The twin themes of the Holy Year proclaimed by Pope Paul VI are "Renewal and Reconciliation."

"If there is anyone characteristic that marks our present," Father Burghardt said in introductory chapter, "it is cleavage, conflict, division, disharmony.

This absence of unity, of oneness - ultimately of love - confronts us on four levelS: between man and nature; within man himself; between man and man; between man and God." In subsequent articles in the booklet, Father Burga,rdt devel· ops each of those levels in detail and attempts to suggest the road to reconciliation.

Father Burghardt concludes by urging his readers to "cut down on waste . . . This means that many of us will 'eat less and drink less, smoke less and drive less, either wear the clothes we buy or give them to the poor. stop hoarding for an improbable future."

Warning against the destruction of the earth in pursuit of progresS, he says that "each of us should henceforth touch the 'things' of God with greater reverence; where we must consume or destroy, let. it be only because paradoxically it makes us more human."

He argues that churches as organizations and individual church members have an obligation to u"e their investments, their purchasing power, their

. purchasing habits to induce corporations to exercise social responsibility.

Proposed Goals

"Ultimately, no one else can define for you where your specific involvement lies. Knowing yourself and your situation, your gifts and your opportunities, you will grasp best what you ~an do ... But all of us are called to be brave:.to look at the land, to look at persons, to look within usaryd then to do . . . something."

He contends that employers have an obligation to try to make jobs less dehumanizing and that citizens have an obligation to try to provide the unemployed with skills so that they can work or with jobs that can utilize the The 37-page booklet is derived skills they have.

'Deplorab,le Acti,on' Bishop Blasts Proposed Abortion Legislation in South Carolina.

MEMPHIS (NC)-Sister Mary Anne Guthrie wants to become a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

She announced her candidacy here June 3 as a Democratic contender for Tennesse's eighth con· gressional district.

The 47-year-old Dominican nun, who is director of the Memphis diocese's Department, of Health and Welfare, will face. four men in the Democratic primary race Aug. 1, She told newsmen at a press conference in the diocesan office building here that she favors cuts in defense spending, busing for racial integration, and amnesty for draft evaders.

On-the impeachment of Presi· dent Richard M. Nixon, which she termed the most 'Pressing' issue facing the country today, she said she would not hesitate to vote impeachment if the evidence supports, such an action, She called busing the only available means for integrating schools at present but said it would be unnecessary if there were effective open housing in the country.

She also emphasized a belief in strong public schools and added: ';If parents choose to ,send their children to parochial or private schools, they should be prepared to finance it."

'Her camp~ign, she said, woul" be "a people campaign where the little dollar really' counts.'"

"I think I'm just as competent and better perhaps than any other candidate," Sister Guthrie said. "I am seeking political office because I can and want to perform the task as an effective congresswoman. For too long th~re has been a tragic underrepresentation of women in govern· ment."

Sist:er Receives

By Jos«~ph and Marilyn Roderick As I write this the large oriental poppies are just coming into bloom while the ubiquitous orange single poppies have largely passed. The latter reproduce freely and are capable of taking over a garden if not controlled.. Actually, we allow them to bloom in large masses and then pull them up. They flourish from about the middle of May until the first few days of June.

In this poppy we have single, semi-double and double blooms, all a bright orange. They are pretty in masses but tend to make the garden too lush and overgrown and we are usually eag,er to pull them out. We do not dig them out, but simply pull 'the foliage off from the top.

The larger hybrids are a dif-" ferent matter. In named varieties we have Barr's White, Pinnacle.

Watermelon, Salome and ,Helen Elizabeth. Each of these blooms later, beginning about now and coinciding with the roses. Each is a specimen plant which stands alone in its beauty and is an exceptional size and quality.

These we allow to remain in the garden all season long without being disturbed, that is, leaving the foliage intact.

Too Busy The difference between these two types of poppies poses a problem for the gardener.. The common poppy can be spectacular in masses and is extremely colorful, but it does have the drawback of ma·king the garden appear too busy and almost overwhelmed. With all of its charm it does produce problems.

And yet, I love color in a garden and am less concerned with mainaining a neat look than with enjoying the visual impact of the total garden. The busyness offends Marilyn's sense of order, however, and she is particularly critical of the garden at this time of year!

What I suppose it all comes down to is that the working gardener plans and develops his garden to fit his perception of what it should be for his own satisfaction and not for that of others.

There is too much wor·k involved to plan your garden for your neighbor's satisfaction!

In the Kitchen I'm still a cookbook addict but I find fewer and fewer coo~books being published on which I really want to spen'd my hal:d-earned money. Either they're !.o chatty that the recipes are few and far between or their theme is based on .some specialized cooking utensil (the wok) or an unusual type of cookery (health foods, etc.).

I still harken back to 'Some of the cookbooks that f.ormed the basis of my collection, especially my all-time favorite, Eleanor Early's "New England CookBook," published by Random House. 'It was from the pages of Ms: Early's book, published in 1954, that I learned how to make rhubarb pie, bake beans and even prepare a boiled dinner. To this day I never open its pages without the feeling that I'm returning for a visit with a friend.

Ms. Early died not too many years ago and it was with a sense of losing someone I knew very, well that I read her obituary. What did raise, my ~pirits a bit was the fact that she lived

on Nantucket Island, which is part of the F.all River diocese, and that she was a Catholic.

Perhaps she read my column on some of the occasions that I mentioned lovipg her book. The letter that I always meant to write her never got written, much to my regret. 'thankfully, her book is still in print and I can't think of a nicer or more welcome gift for a bride-to-be than Ms. Early's heartwarming recipes.

One collection of recipes is Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library. It was a thoughtful gift at Christmas time from my mother. with additions on Valentine's Day, and while the cost is quite high I find the recipes very good, realistic, and quite easy (an adjective that I'm using more and more as I get older). This has been the one assortment of recipes I have come across in the past year that I feel is worth its cost.

If any of my readers come across a cookbook that they particularly like I would love the name of it to review for the column. While I enjoy the reviews of such books in' the New York Times, I feel that the recommendations of women who know what it is to worry about the weekly grocery money and the "joys" of feeding a growIng fam· i1y are more pertinent to the way my readers live.

My children still insist that brownies are their number one favorites, but for anyone with a more open mind 'these coconut r.hews are quite delicious.

Respect for Person Pope Paul Addresses Specialists In Nervous Disease!; VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI, while praising the advances of neuropsychiatry and calling it a "privileged sector" of ' medicine, urged its practitioners to maintain complete respect for the human person.

"God has allowed you the honor of continuing His work in enabling a sick person to become fully a man once again," the Pope told French and Italian specialists in nerv0l!s diseases June 10..

"You know better than we do that this powerful therapy, fruit of your researches, might turn against its purpose and diminish man in disturbing the exercise of his intelligence and his will.

Nor must man ,become an object of experiment."

He spoke of the advance of neuropsychiatry since the turn of the century.

"Of all the sectors of medicine, neuropsychiatry constitutes, a privileged sector. In this domain, scientific progress 'is truly arresting.

"What seemed a'lmost 'terra incognita' (unknown territory) at the .beginning of the century has become a terrain where the specialist, either surgeon or psychiatrist, intervenes with success.'!

He cited as a sympton of this success the virtual disappearance of "insane asylums" and their replacement by pschiatric hospitals.

"Tr.·z . sick person for whom nothing could be done was put aside, truly separated from other men, alienated, losing the civic

rights that he held as a human person.

"At present, psychiatric hospitals have taken the place of insane asylums. There is a tendency to consider the sick person as a man by full right, keeping his inalterable dignity." tn• • • • • • • i • • • • • •

Plan, to Negotiate New Concordat With Spain , VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Archhishop Agostino Casaroli, a fop Vatican diplomat, has left Rome for discussions with Spanish government officials to draw up changes in the 'Concordat which has governed Church-state relations with .Spain since 1953. ,In leaving Rome, the archbishop" who in his capacity as secretary for the Council of the Public Affairs of the Church is sometimes called the Vatican's "forcign minister," said revision of the concordat "has been and continues to be insistently confirmed both by the Church and the Spanish government," Arshbishop Casaroli, in an unusually frank statement made available to the press -before his flight to Madrid, declared: "The difficulties of realizing' t.he undertaking .. , depend on various causes. One of these is in itself very positive, that is, the importance which in Spain, more than in other nations, is given to the correctness of reciprocal relations between the Church and the country. This, in Spain, more I han in other countries. does not signify a marginal question, .but a vital one. As such it is widely felt, not only by the clergy but by the more politically or eccle· sLastically involved sectors, but also by the whole population."

Reopening Delayed Archbishop Cesar.oli recalled that the Holy See last November declar,ed itself ready to "renew with the government its discussion on the revision of the concordat," in accord with the Spanish bishops, He noted that subsequent events, beginning with the tragic murder of the Spanish Premier Luis Carrero Blanco on last Dec, 20, "delayed the reopening" of the talks. He also noted, however, that the prc')aratory discussions were not interrupted between the Holy See, the Spanish bishops and the government.

In Madrid the Vatican diplomat wHi be meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Pedro Corina Mauri on an "official level" to work out the terms of the new concordat.

Pastoral Council Endorses Boycott NASHVILLE (NC)-A rf;soluHan endorsing the United Farm Workers of America (UFWA) boycott of grapes and lettuce was approved here by the Pastoral Counoil of the diocese 'of Nashville.

The council, which serves as the highest level Catholic advisory body to the bishop in middle and eastern Tennessee, urged that grapes and lettuce be boycotted "until such time as the unions and growers agree to secret baHot elecHons," The resolution also supports a resolution approved last November by the D'a,tion's bishops call,ing for secret free elections to determine which union, if any, should represent the farm' workers. The UFWA and Teamsters Union have been waging a war for the right to organize the workers.

Bishop Joseph A. Durick of Nashville added his support to the palsloml council's resolution.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The seizure by Arab guerrmas of a schoolhouse in the Israeli town of . Maalot that resulted in the deaths of 27 Israeli children and adults and the, wounding of 88 others was called a "massacre without pity" and a "subhuman crime" by the Vatican daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.

Shortly before the Israeli army assa,ult on the schoolhouse Pope Paul VI expressed his sorrow over the incident and his concern for the fate of the schoolchildren.

The three Arab guerrillas' who had taken the schoolhouse were killed in the Israeli army's assault.

The Vatican daily deplored the "barbarous reappearance" of using innocent persons "to pay the price of ideological terrorism," The paper added: "We weep with the parents and the families of those who were attacked while we pray to God to invoke a" peace that embraces the innocent and the guilty, both of which have been brought to death by a mad, destructive vision," Twenty teen-agel's were kmed in the incident.

Cathedral ~~ass Held in Sup,port Of Cardinal Silva SANTIAGO (NC) -- A Mass in support of Cardinal Raul Silva of Santiago, who has been under attack by .rightists, was held at the cathedral here June 4.

Some 230 archdiocesan priests and several thousand Catholics packed the centuries old building located in the heart of this capital's downtown area to express their support of the ,cardinal.

The Chilean Church, Cardinal Silva and Auxiliary Bishop Fernando Ariztia of Santiago have come' under increasin,g pressure by right wing followers of the ruling military junta for their criticism of repression and tocture since the military's takeover last September.

Urges Reconciliation The Chilean Bishops' Conference issued a statement last April strongly condemning some of the junta's policies and "the climate of fear and repression" evident in the country. Bishop Ariztia is the chairman of the ecumenical Committee of Cooperation for Peace in Chile, which prepared a complete report de. tailing 134 proven ca::;es of torture of political prisoners and of ] 2 deaths as a result of iII-treat.ment. The Chilean bishops' statement was reportedly based largelyon this report.

Cardinal Silva, who returned in early June from a trip to the U.S. and Europe, again called for reconciliation at the Mass.

In an emotional homily, the cardinal asked those who have criticized him to accept his role as a pas~or "of the contl~nted ones who have power as well as of those who suffer." He also asked the congregation for prayers for those in power who "'have good intentions and patriotic feelings."

Cardinal Silva again urged peace, reconciliation and freedom for all Chileans at the end of his homily.

v ATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Pa.ul, asking where the joy of the Catholic faith has gone, uphraided Christians who "vegetat.e in doubt and in silly criticism."

Such Catholics "allow tlll'mselves secularist and pagan concessions under the pretext of approaching the world, which then devours them," he said.

The Pope was speaking to crowds in St. Peter's square on Pentecost, which he described as the Church's birthday.

"Today, Pentecost, the Church celebrates her birth, that animation which makes her alive with grace, alive with dying love," the Pope began.

"We must live enthusiastically the authenticity of our Christian profession. This enthusiasm is a flame which so many contrary winds are trying to snuff out.

"Where is' the enthusiasm of our faith today? Oh certainly. , very many living members of the Church still feel it and live this joyful and generous enthusiasm.

To these brothers and children, to these sincere Catholics we now give our 'praise ..."

BELFAST (NC) Cardinal William Conway of Armagh, primate of All Ireland and Bishop Edward Daly of Londonderry have appealed to the British government to grant the request of two sisters on hunger strike in a British prison to be trans.ferred to a prison in Northern Ireland.

The day after the two prelates made their appeals, another Irish prisoner, Michael Gaughan, a member of the Official IRA (Irish Republican Army), died in Britain's Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight after a 65-day hunger strike. He was the first Irish prisoner to die of a hunger strike in a British jail since Terence McSwiney, lord Mayor of Cork died in Brixton prison in 1920.

The two sisters, Dolours Price, 23, and Marion Price, 20, have vowed to fast to death unless they are transferred from Brixton prison in London to Armagh prison in Northern Ireland to be nearer relatives. They also want to be given the status of political .,prisoners. :They are serving life sentences for participation in car bombings carried out by the Provisional IRA in London last March. Con· last November, they have . victed been .fasting for nearly six months. One man died and more than 200 persons -were injured in the bombings.

Home Secretary Roy Jenkins of 'Britain's ruling Labor party, issued a statement saying that, despite the likelihood of the sisters' deaths, "I, cannot find it right ~o agree with their demands," especial1y because of the "existing situation in Northern Ireland:"

his own admission, !based his recent' attack' nn "monopoly" unionism. The speech was delivered on May 20 (the very day that von Hoffman's column appeared in print) by Federal Trade Commissioner Mayo J.

Brazil Court Frees Priest SAO PAULO (NC) - French Father Francois Jantel returned to his native France five days after Brazil's highest military court overturned his 1973 conviction for subversion.

The Superior Military Tribunal said that Father Jentel's case did not fall 'under the country's national security laws. His alleged crimes should be tried as "common crimes" by a civilian court, the military court said.

It is not clear now whether Father Jentel will return to stand tria,l here. A common practice of the Brazilian government in the past has been to allow foreign priests to leave the country and in effect ban their return.

Father Jentel had reportedly refused to leave the country last' year. A military court then sentenced him to 10 years in prison for "subversive activities." The priest had worked for almost 20 years in Brazil's interior.

Father Jentel had been sentenced for subversion after a long-standing conflict over land I'ights between settlers and a big farming and lumber corporation resulted in a brief shootout, in which . several company guards were wounded..

A Meaningful Introduction to the Eucharist Trial and error, constant evaluation, and frequent adjustments are indispensable elements of any religious education-liturgical program in a parish.

Some procedures work; others don't. Some have value for a period of time, then lose their ef.fectiveness.

This article is about a combined teaching-worshipping experience which has worked well for us on each occasion we have employed it over a two-year period at Holy Family. I refer to Masses in the homes of parents who are preparing their children for First Communion.

We ask for a volunteer host and hostess, assemble in their house at 7:00 P.M. about {ideally) a dozen fathers and mothers plus the boys and girls, then offer a one-hour ."real" Eucharist with explanatory com-

SPECIAL POSSESSIONS: Extra special possessions-a favorite stuffed animal, a bedtime blanket:-are too important for sharing. Accompanied by a favorite stuffed toy, Michael Quinn, 3, of Baldwin, Long Island, blows bubbles by'himself in his front yard. NC Photo.

By Mary and James Kenny "Friday's child is loving and giving," says an old nursery rhyme. But not 'all children are born on Friday!

"Selfish! Mommy, she won't share," complains brother.

"Selfish" is the epithet one child uses to condemn, shame, and otherwise cajole another into parting with the toy of the moment. Children are supposed to be generous. Yet, once they master "Mama" and "Dada," the next word most self-respecting toddlers learn is "mine," Mama is uneasy when her cherub clutches toys with a death grip hollering "mine" at full lung power.

But adults need to understand that generosity is developmental.

Taking turns and sharing are beyond the two-year old. Rather than worry about a little one's selfishness, Mom needs to be a friend and ally. How can parents help a child through the first difficult stages of choice?

First, run interference when stormy times approach. If battles erupt over a favorite toy, try to have some identical toys around the house-two push toys, two dolls, two cars-can save lots of grief at little cost. ·Extra special possessions - a favorite stuffed animal, a bedtime blanket-are too important for sharing. Either keep them out of other children's sight or defend your child's rights.

A new birthday toy falls into the extra-special category. Explain to playmates that in a few days the birthday child will let

them ride the new tricycle, but not just yet. J,f adult neighbors observe with disapproval, ask yourself, "Would I loan my neigbor my new diamond ring?

Would my husband invite everyone to drive his new car?"

Sometimes we demand more of little children than of ourselves.

Encourages Generosity Surprisingly, supporting a child's rights to his own possessions encourages generosity to grow. There's security in knowing some things are his. He'll share more readily because he knows a possession once relinquished is not gone forever.

And a child will imitate brothers and sisters who share with him, especially when parents voice approval. This is when the notion of sharing begins.

Sharing fun things, relaxation, problems, responsibilities, faith are all basic to the Christian concept. But these things cannot be learned all at once. And if children are to take their place in their family and the family of the world, parents must d~ftly lead the way by teaching them to share and by respecting their children's rights as well. .

An understanding of what is normal at various stages of human devclopment will help parents lead children to healthy emotional and Christian maturit~ .

The children do not receive our Lord at this Mass; that comes later at a Family Eucharist and the solemn Parish First Commu-

In' his "Picture of Dorian Gray," Oscar Wilde says: "Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them," That's a rather bleak reflection on the denouement of the parent-child relationship, but as is the case with most of Wilde's epigrams, it strikes cruelly home.

The family in our society is under siege. In an earlier day and a more stable church, the family was a predictable entity.

Roles, though unequal, were defined and for the most part unchallenged. The family was bedrock from which one sallied forth to slay the dragon's of the world, and to which the weary and the disappointed could return with welcome. Father was provider and protector: Mother was nurse, educator and homemaker.

And children were to be seen but not heard. How things have changed! . Today even the arts, particularly contemporary music, tele-. vision and films, are for the most part antithetical to all that "family" has traditionally meant.

Virtues of loyalty, fidelity, selfishness, and unity are not only downplayed, but they are out of vogue. From "Maude" to Archie Bunker, and acid rock to blue funk, contemporary arts

celebrate the "do your own thing" syndrome. Our children's senses are bombarded with this new philosophy from the Sesame days onward. So, what are the alternatives? Convert the secular society ov(~rnight ~for that's how long it takes for children to grow up these days), or create the kind of family environment which can prepare children to stand up on their own two feet, to face the assaults of the age, to know their Faith, to be confident of their' own identities, their own roles within the family and without.

Peer Pressures Tall order, you say? Sure it is.

And many people of college age today aren't buying it. Study after study indicates they either don't want children at all, or they want very few. Not because they don't want youngsters to clutter up their lives and finances, not only hecause they oppose diapers, pablum, acne, and bubble gum. No. The underlying reason is that they see the nurturing of young lives from infancy to adulthood as an awesome challenge, one they hesitate to undertake themselves, because as Wilde suggests,. they have judged their parents, and they have only partially forgiven them. Cruel and unjust as this attitude may seem, it is someTurn to Page Fourteen

Mass. Still, the manner in which we do this was not planned beforehand; it developed at the moment and proved highly successful.

Some celibates tend to be excessively independent or selfreliant and only reluctantly allow others to love or serve them. I fit into that category.

Learning Process In this situation, therefore, a divine impulse must have moved me. Instead of walking around and picking up particular items (e.g., chalice, lectionary, cruet), I sat down and asked individuals to bring them over to me. In the process I made sure each boy and girl handled some object.

Later, after the homily when we prepared the altar and after Communion when we cleared the table, every child brought for. ward or returned his or her "responsibility." One year later, during a released time religious education class, those same stu, dents remember exactly what they had cared for during the Mass.

The homily was in dialogue form with the children, seated on the floor, responding to several gentle questions I posed to them. Their answers either inspired or amused or brought a tear to the on-looking adults.

'In certain of these Masses, the parents' clear or even stifled laughter back-fired. The boys and girls became self-conscious, as if on display, and were reluctant to speak out during the rest of the liturgy.

Common Prayer I offered brief comments throughout the preparation of gifts and invited the youngsters to stand around the altar for the eucharistic prayer. I also suggested they make some of the same gestures the priest performs (hands joined, out. Turn to Page Fourteen

Priests' Gifts To Help Save High Schools

•

LONDON (NC)-The dioc~se of London has launched a massivecampaign to wipe out 'a debt of $1.4 mill ion on four of its Catholic high schools.

The drive, initiated by Bishop G. Emmett Carter of London, is timed at raising the funds in interest-free loans from the diocese's priests and laym~n. Each of the dioces~'s priests will be ' asked to contribute $I,OOD. The program will obtain. the loans for a ttiree-year period, payable in full on July ), 1977.

The campaign is scheduled for completion by ~he end of July 1974. ,Father J.M. Williams, pastor of St. Joseph's parish in Stratford and campaign chairman, estimated that the loans could save the diocese as much as $480,000 in interest during the three years.

Th~ debt was incurred asa stop-gap measure prior .to the 1971 Ontario provincial election for the upkeep, building and renovation of the area's Catholic school by administrators who had hoped that the provincial government might assume the responsibility for the education of all children.

"When this proved illusory," according to a chancery office spokesman, "the indebtedness rf'mained and interest accrued rapidly with inflation to the point where it reached $1.4 milIon and a solution had to be found."

When an eight-year-old gets }-.·;s first allowance and either hordes it or spends it within an hour, the wise parent patiently waits to let him continue to handle .his new-found weaUh without interference.

Ignore hoarding or spending on self, but continue to praise acts of generosity.. .Generosity's Growth Money-mad-eights grow .into nines and tens. At this stage, many children find great pleasure in giving.

But at the adolesl;cnt stage, they need lots more money-records, magazines, shampoo, dead'- orant-claim their dollars. Snack bar visits are a necessity. New s~lf-awarenessand self-concern strongly resemble the selfish "money-mad-eight."

What happened to generosity?

Look harder-it's still there! The young lady who forgets family birthdays may be extremely generous toward girlfriends. The penniless boy at his sister's birthday may .share hours with her in big-brother-adviCe talks.

Assert Anglican, Catholic Unity On Eucharist LONDON (NC) - Catholic and Anglican theologians in Scotland have issued a joint statement of agreement on the Eucharist, more explicit in some areas than the celebrated 1971 "Windsor Statement" by the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC), After five years of meetings. the Joint Study Group of 26 Scottish Catholic and Anglican theologians stated their shared belief-also stated in the earlier ARCIC statement-that Christ's sacrifice is a memorial of this and that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist.

The Windsor Statement afrirmed positively the Real Presence of Christ, and the Scottish Statement expanded on that.

"This change," the statement said of the Consecration of the host, "though it does not affect the physical or chemical properties of bread, is nevertheless a real change-not one imposed by our pur,ose. minds or faith.

"It is more than a change in the use to which we put bread.

It is more than a change in its meaning for us. It is a change by which the bread of human life has become the Bread of Everlasting Life, has become the 'Body of the Lord.' " While affirming, like the ARCIC statment, that "there can be only one sacrifice," the Scots' joint statem'ent goes beyond the ARCIC statement in explicitly dealing with Article: 31 of the Anglican Church's 3!) Articles of belief.

Stud~'

Document

According to the joint statement, Article 31 - which condemns the "sacrifice o'f Masses" as "blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits"-represents a rejection of something that was never part of authentic Catholic teaching, the belief that the Eucharistic sacrifice added to the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary.

Like the ARCIC statement, the new joint statement is intended as a study document. Although the groups are officially established dialogue gmups, their statements do not have the status of official statments by their respective churches.

The Joint Study Group said it now intends to move on to questions of ministry of the Church, raising the issues of intercqmmunion and Anglic~1D orders.

"What we have done, we believe, is to clear the ground for such further discussions," the groups said.

Priests' Senate Praises Sherry SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The Senate of Priests of the Archd.iocese of San Francisco has commended Gerard E. Sherry, editormanager of the Monitor, the archdiocesan newspaper, for his "outstanding contribution to the Church."

A senate resolution noted that Sherry had received the 1974 Catholic Press Associati{)n "St. Francis de Sales Award for excellence in Catholic journalism."

The resolution praised Sherry "for his talented and dedicated service to the Church in the field of communications."
