FATHER HERVE JALBERT

Fr. Herve Jalbert Retires From Fall River Parish The Most Reverend Bishop has accepted the resignation for health reasons of Rev. Herve Jalbert from the pastorate of Blessed Sacrament parish, Fall River, where he has served since May 1966, and where he was a curate for 17 years following his ordination in 1938. Born Sept. 1, 1907, in St. Basil, New Brunswick, Canada, the son of the late Frederick and Olive Cyr, Father Jalbert attended Assumption College, Worcester, and St. Bernard's Seminary, Rochester.

Immediately prior to his new post, he was associate pastor at St. Patrick's, Fall River, where he had been since 1971, also Tum to Page Three

UNITED NATIONS (NC) In a message to the UN Special Session on Disarmament, Pope Paul VI tried to strike a balance between popular demand for disarmament and governmental concerns with legitimate defense of nations. Declaring the multi-billion-dollar arms race in the world a "scandal," he called for a balanced but urgent program by nations to reduce the world's weaponry and build a peace strategy based on mutual trust. Pope Paul's message was delivered in French by Archbishop Agostino Casaroli, secretary of the Vatican's Council for the Public Affairs of the Church. He was technicaaly unable to deliver the message to the General Assembly itself, since the Vatican is only an observer and not a full member of the UN. So the assembly dissolved itself into a preparatory committee to hear the message. Had the Holy See been allowed to address the General Assembly, other non-members could also have demanded the privilege. In his message Pope Paul congratulated the United Nations for having resolved to confront decisively the problem of disarmament. He called it an act of courage and wisdom. He also said his words repreTurn to Page Seven

Nazareth Students Asked for Prayers Holy Name Church, Fall River, was the beautiful background earlier this month for a ceremony unique among the graduations traditional to June. Bishop Daniel A. Cronin celebrated a graduation Mass for five students who this year completed the program offered at Nazareth Hall and Vocational Center, Fall River. Denise Canuel gave the first reading of the Mass and Theresa Paradis read the prayer of the faithful, while other Nazareth students, with a folk group from St. Patrick's parish, Somerset, supplied music. All graduates, with the exception of Teresa Butler, hospitalized and unable to participate, took part in the offertory procession. In his homily, Bishop Cronin asked the Nazareth students to continue their longtime apostolate of prayer for those in need

the moorin~", Proposition 1:3: Democracy Awakenecl Shock waves from the recent California vot€. on the now famous Proposition 13 are beginning to swee:,) across the country and rightly so. The taxpayers took tt.eir plea to the ballot box and the people responded. in a manner that has every politician shaking in his or her boots. No more can they presume to tax the people without their consent. For too long the working American has sat back and given token approval by way of silence to every whim and scheme of his or her elected or appointed ,L)fficials. Now citizens are once more realizing the truth of those hallowed words, that taxation without represent atioR is tyranny. There are those who would say that this taxpayers' revolt is a mere whim, as our own governo:r has inferred. They seem to feel that once everything calms down and the media tire of the novelty, that we will be back to taxf;tion as usual. This indeed should be set aside as a shortsighted view and one that must be set aside as a politician's dream. What began on the west coast should be taken Beriously by everyone who supports a democratic system of government. The voters realize that you can no longer pleaf;e ever~r one with a handout. Just reflect for a moment on the abuses that haye been dragged into public view in recent days in our own General Court in Massachusetts. Consider the refusal of so many cities and towns to end abuses in their ever-increasing welfare webs. A mere glance at the state of American education shows that greater efforts should have been made to teach children than to bus them. Look at the local monumen':s public officials have built to their memory in lavish educational plants that do not produce. Think of the tax dollars supporting murder, legalized by abortion legislation. Think of the inner city jungles that hold th; elderly captive in their homes and apartments. The moral dec&y of the west so graphically pointed out by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn should indicate tc all th,lt the taxpayers' revolt is only a symptom of a greater need for a total American reformation. The list of abuses, vices, crimes and fraud is endless and those who care want to change the course this nation has charted. This is the real meaning of the California vote. It can be done if people realize that they COlJlt. They can do something at the ballot box if they will jus t get O'lt of their comfOltable rocking chairs; if they put a bit of a bite into the words they merely mouth. Support from all areas of life must be given if this initial movement of the taxpayers' revolt is t.o be sustained. If we go beyond the mere surface of the taxation :ssue and try to implement the true meaning of this new American revolution, then perhaps the hopes and dreams for which this country once stood as a government of, by and f~r the people will at last come to fruition.

'The glory of a child is his father.' Provo 17:6

Ruth Stapleton and the Sons of Jesus By Father John B. Sheerin

An unidentified man in Topeka, Kans., recently splattered Billy Carter with a pie while Billy was signing autographs. Fortune has been unkind to the Carters lately. The president is not faring well in the popularity polls and his sister, Ruth Stapleton, managed to stir up a witch's brew that would not have helped the president at this moment when American Jews are unhappy about his readiness to sell the F-15 planes to Saudi Arabia. It seems that Mrs. Stapleton, the president's evangelistic sister, committed herself to address B'nai Yeshua (Sons of Jesus), a group that is working hard to convert Jews to Christianity. Criticism of Mrs. Stapleton's commitment followed immediately, and on June 2, she announced her decision not to appear at this evangelizing crusade. With her was Rlbbi Marc Tanenbaum, national interreligious affairs director of the American Jewish Committee. Jewish groups had protested the Sons cf Jesus appearance because "conversion" is a word that conjures up ugly memories of coercion by Christians. The American Jewish Congress, for instance, in a letter to Mrs. Stap:.eton, claimed that she was "trying to exploit the name of the sister of the president of the United States ... to convert us from the faith of our fathers." The congress suggested that she spend her time "making better Christians of those who were born in your faith." This snippy remark was in

bad taste: every religious organization in the United States enjoys religious liberty and the right to profess its faith publicly as well as privately - but honorably and without deceptive devices or coercion. The Sons of Jesus can, evangelize, therefore, but according to the rules of the game in America. Here's the rub - the Sons of Jesus are suspected of resorting to unfair tactics. If these rumors are true, such evangelism is to be condemned. The. Long Island Council of Churches, for instance, about a year ago complained that "certain groups are engaging in subterfuge and dishonesty in representing the claims of their faith groups . . . In this regard, the Board of Governors of the Long Island Council of Churches is particularly concerned about the alleged dishonest conversionary tactics employed by such groups as Jews for Jesus, B'nai Yeshua (Sons of Jesus) and the Unification Church." Ruth Stapleton might well remember the adage, "Caesar's wife must be beyond suspicion." The Roman Catholic stand on conversion of the Jews is quite clear. In March, 1977, Tomasso Federici stated the Catholic position in an address to an international Catholic-Jewish meeting at Venice, Italy. In "The Mission and Witness of the Church," he repudiated Catholic proselytizing among Jews. "He said: "The church . . . rejects in a clear way every form of which in any way constitutes a physical, moral, psychological or cultural constraint on the Jews ... Attempts to set

up organizations of any sort, particularly educational or, welfare organizations for 'the conversion' of Jews must be rejected." A Jew may freely chose to ,become a Christian but his freedom- from any form of coercion or deception must be protected. Vatican officials were consulted during the preparation of this address by Federici and the contents of the talk were stated in summary in a Vatican press release. Its salient points have been widely circulated for over a year and I know of no objections from Catholic theologians or prelates. The Federici address reaffirms the statement of the American bishops in 1975 affirming "the continual validity of Israel's call." God has not rejected the Jewish people: He still reveres his covenant with them as stated in their sacred books. Mrs. Stapleton's decision not to address B'nai Yeshau was a wise one. An appearance before the Sons of Jesus would not have been conducive to good Christian-Jewish relations or to the relations between the president and American Jews, who are concerned that the Saudis may use the F-15 planes against Israel, if new hostilities break out. American Jews nervously fear that the president is not as good a friend as they had anticipated nor as committed to the security of Israel as they had imagined. ,I believe Carter will prove himself to be a genuine friend of Israel. I think he honestly believes that the sale of the planes will ultimately help along the cause of peace in the Middle East.

Not much, you may think. Perhaps you think you are no longer of use to anyone. Yet this is the time when you can accomplish the most for others. Simply by offering up your ·uselessness" - your pain - your loneliness - for the Missions. Because the Missions those Churches young in the Faith and often short on personnel - desperately need your spiritual support, as well as your financial assistance.

There's been a lot of rejoicing about the Seventh Circuit Court's decision that Catholic schools are immune from the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act. Catholic sehool administrators can break unions without any fear that the law of the land will be invoked to interfere an ironic position for a church which has endorsed the right to organize since Leo XIII and used to proudly boast that Senator Wagner (who authored the original NLRA) was a Catholic.

~We

Rejoice That We're

There would be less rejoicirg, however, if bishops and schcol administrat·ors read the appellate court's decision care:'ully.

After my husband and I returned from my cousin's wake, we talked into the night. It had been a very sad wake. Norb had been such a good man. Everyone loved him. Many years of struggling to get ahead of cancer had left a stranger in that casket. Though only in his fifties, he looked ola and worn. It hurt. I was reminiscing about a day years ago when Norb took my

He had a picture of my fatt-.er and me sitting on He deck of his boat. I had forgotten about it. But a few years ago, Ncrb had found the negative and had a print made for me. Norb was like that. Having that picture makes me understand why there is such devotion attached to relics. For that picture revives memories of a day with a special saint. He endured the ravages of cancer, alway~ optimistic H.at the next treatment tJied would be successful. He showed enormous cour;lge, set an incredible example. As my husband and I reviewed

education Qf the child is with propaganda. filled That, of course, is the very purpose of such schools, the very reason for going to all of the work and expense of maintaining a dual school system. Their purpose is not so much to educate, but to indoctrinate and train, not to teach Scripture truths and Americanism, but tQ make loyal Roman Catholics. The children are regimented, and are told what to wear, what to do, and what to think. Is that really hQW we want our courts to think about Catholic schools? Among other things, Ms. Boettner thinks that practicing CathQlics should not be allowed to

teach in public schools or to hold high public office.

these things, we felt fortunate to have kr.own Norb. Then my husband said, "Something like this forces me to think about my own death. It's going to come some day. It maJ,ces it easier knowing that there will be someone like Norb waiting for me."

"It was so sudden it is a blessing she didn't have to suffer." Or, "It is a relief he no longer has to endure such pain. It's been so many years." We always grcpe for some consolation at death. We want something to make us feel good about it . . . when everything inside us makes us feel bad. We've suffered a loss. Someone has been wrenched from us. When it's a sudden death that strikes without warning, we feel that if we had known ahead of time we would have been prepared. It would be easier to accept. When, as with Norb, it is SQmeone who has been sick for years, we find the lQng slow pain of someone's suffering just as heavy a burden.

If we let them, wakes can offer a benefit to all of us. They force us to think, and if we probe deeply enough we can meditate 0:1 our own deaths something we generally avoid thinking about. Most often our thoughts tend toward immediate CQncerns. This, too, can be good. In sharing the loss with the surviving family, our pr€sence sometimes lifts a bit of th€ weight of their pain. Our thQughts for the deceased usually take one of two paths.

Our American freedoms are being threatened today by two totalitarian systems, Communism and Catholicism. And of the two in our country Romanism is growing faster than is Communism and is the more dangerous since it covers its real nature with a cloak of religion. Ms. Boettner also says that an "undue proportion of gangster, racketeers, thieves and juvenile delinquents came from Catholic schools . . . " that three presidential assassins were graduates of Catholic schools, and that Catholics are taught by ignorant European peasants (who) often know nothing of American democracy, who cannot speak

grammatically even in their own tongue . . . " The cardinals and bishops should ask what image of Catholicism was in the mind of Mr. Justice Douglas when he wrote the opinion which the 'Seventh Circuit Court invQked on their behalf. WQuid they be willing, for example, to accept the judgment that "90 percent of the teaching in the parochial school is done by brainwashed nuns and priests who throughout their lives are kept in a rigid mental strait-jacket . . . under the absolute authority of one man, the bishop of the diocese . . . "? The court, it might be said, made the right decisiQn for (partially) wrong reasons. My point is rather that when the courts start quoting bigots on our behalf we should be scared silly.

wake. He said there is no easy way for the survivors. We search for one, but it is impossible. A sudden death is an enonnous shock. A slow death ercdes. The family is going to suffer either way. He concluded that the only blessing the family has to lean on is if it was easy for the person who died. II thought of his words as I watched Norb's wife and three children follow the casket from the Church. They didn't even have that bit of consolatiQn that it was easy for him. With him, they suffered all these years, yet he apparently had shared his cQurage with them. As I walked from the Church, something from Norb's sense of humor sparked a thought within me. Someday, there will be one funeral that will be easy for me - when I'm in the box.

Tht! C:ost Factor of National Health Insurance the issue is at a high point. By

JIM CASTELLI

ia\

WASHINGTON (NC) Public debate over national health insurance has ebbed and flowed for the past decade, but there is a good chance that some fonn of it will become a reality. As a result, public debate on

Some of its elements are faniliar and pl~edictable, ':he role of private insurar..ce companies or voluntary hospitals, whether such insurance shQul:!. pay for abortions, whB.t other services should or ~hould not be covered. But concern abou:; inflation will focus attention on the co;,ts of national health insuran.:e. Health care costs ha,-e far outpaced the overall inflation rate; a hospital room that cost $45 in 1965 costs ~;200 toj,ay. Costs will b€ attacked in sev-

eral ways. The Carter administration has supported a nine percent ceiling on hospital cost increases. The Catholic Hospital Association has opposed the administration plan, calling instead fQr voluntary restraints, while the U.S. Catholic Conference and the National Conference of Catholic Charities have been more symj:athetic. The NCCC executive director, Msgr. Lawrence Corcoran, says that if cost controls are adopted, hospitals should share them with physicians and technicians.

Some people would cut insurance costs by attaching deductibles which the patients WQuld have to pay. Catholic groups have opposed this. "All economic impediments to necessary heaUh care should be eliminated," the usee and NCCC said in joint testimony last October. There will also be talk of using "cost-benefit analysis" in a national health insurance plan. This is not all bad. For example, it is cheaper to prevent disease -than to cure it; the Am-

erican Catholic Church believes national health insurance shQuld cover preventive care such as physical check-ups, eye and dental exams, chest X-rays and so on. But there is a danger that cost-benefit analysis will be used to justify withholding treatment from some patients on the grounds that it would not be justified economically. Church leaders have warned, for example, that high costs of maintaining elderly patients may be used to attempt to justify euthanasia.

Continued from Page One sented "a message of understanding" and of encouragement. The people of the world believe that to disarm is to deprive war of its means ,the pope said. "Peace is their dream, their' deepest aspiriation," At the same ,time, he said, statesmen have good reason to ask themselves whether it is 'possible not to recognize the right of nations "to ma~e their own provisions for their legitimate defense; and hence to procure the means neCessary for such a goal." He acknowledged that the temptation is strong to ask oneself "if the best possible protection for peace does not in fact continue to be ensured, basically" by the old system of the balance of forces between the different states or groups of states. And he -theorized that a disarmed peace is always exposed to danger - "Its very weakness is an incentive to attack it," he said. The papal message called for seeking peaceful methods of resolving conflicts, while at the same time rendering less inhuman those wars that do occur.' As ,a basic approach he urged the world's nations to strive for a balanced reduction. of the arsenals of war without destroy/ ing existing balance, of power. / But he also said that this approach, while it would seem to be the path of poli~al realism, "is not enough - the question of war and peace in fact presents itself today in new terms." The pontiff wamed that even though the ':balance of power" approach has !been able to avoid the .worst and may do so for some time, "to think that the arms race can thus go on indefinitely,' without causing 'a catastrophe, would be a tragic illusion." Humanity therefore, he said, finds' itself forced to tum back on itself and ask where it is going, or rather, what it is plunging into. I

Pope Paul' asked whether it is possible to find a substitute for the security th~t nations seek in weapons. The answer to that question, he said, is not simply in the realm of the ideal. I,

"It seems to be a problem situated at the level of a prophetic vision open to the hopes of the future," the pontiff said. "And yet one cannot really face this problem without remaining solidly based upon the hard and concrete reality of the present." Disarmament, Pope Paul said, calls for "an extraordinary effort of intelligence and political will" by all nations. It is substantially a prob"lem of mutual trust, he said, suggesting that solutions to technical aspects of disarmament are largely useless without curing at its source the situation that serves as "fertile soil for the proliferation of armaments." Detente, he said, is a condition necessaIJi' for setting in motion a true process of disarmament. Balanced' and prope~y: supervised disarmaments, in turn, would help detente to progress and' grow stronger, he . said.

In the course of his parish work he learned that Noelle, born to a mother already struggling to support, an older son, was available for adoption, and he told his sister about the tot. Mrs. Durette, who had visited ,Peru the previous year, and had seen for herself the terrible destitution of the Indian people, needed no persuasion. "My husband and I had talked about adoption before," she said, "and my brother knew we were interested." Because Father Canuel was on the spot in Peru and because an English teacher in his parish aided in translating needed documents, the adoption process was somewhat expedited; !but Mrs. Durette said that otherwise it

A Very Special Father's Day Continued from Page One shows no signs of the semistarvation that sent her to a hospital in her .native Peru during her first year of life. Her legs, bowed by vitamin deficiency when she arrived last November in the United States, are now straight, chubby and in constant action. "When she came," related her mother, "she'd crawl on the floor, picking among the carpet' tufts to see if she could find any crumbs of food. She was obviously used to taking care of herself, even at one year old." Home for Noelle was' a leanto of bamboo and straw and in the frigid mountain weather she had no othel' protection than a ragged sweater. Her consequent resistance to cold, said Mrs. Durette, gave her a unique medical problem. "I bundled her up for the winter as you would any child," she said, "and when I took her for a checkup, the doctor said, 'She's the first child I've ever seen with a heat rash in December.' " How Noelle got to Swansea from a country extremely reluctant to permit foreign adoptions is a saga of paperwork and persistence. Mrs. Durette's brother is Father Paul Canuel, who was associate pastor of Our Lady of Mt. Cormel parish, Seekonk, until three years ago when he was granted leave to work with the Missionary Society of St. James in Latin America.

Allowances: When, How Much? By Dr. Jim and Mary Kenny Money use is an important area in our lives. Money is the symbol of status and the major tool of power. It is wise to begin early in the money education of our children. We think children should have an allowance from about age eight until they leave home. By allowance, we mean a relatively small amount of money, increasing according to age, that has no restrictions regarding how it must or must not be spent. Further an allowance is never taken away as a punishment. Children have a right to their allowances. Age eight is a money-conscious, even money-mad age. Before that time, most children seem rather indifferent to money. Nickels and quarters get confused. They cannot understand why they can't buy something just because they don't have enough money. They are not developmentally ready to learn money use. Actually, we have given between five cents and 25 cents to children from kindergarten to second grade. We recognize that they will not learn to be wise with money at this age. However, they do have fun imitating their older siblings, going to the store with their own money.

'Jesus,

From third grade to eighth grade, we recommend a range from 25 cents to $2.00 per week, increasing every year or two. Some families have even built in a cost of living increase or tied increases to a raise in dad's pay check. It must be clear what expenses the child should cover with his own money. Toys, comics, movies on his own, junk foods, luxury clothing items, records should come out of his own funds. Parents can pay for family movies, meals out, most lessons, and all necessities. If parents want the child to save for a car or a college education, then parents should put money in a savings account for the child. These goals are too large and too distant to be recommended for young children. In high school we recommend that the teen have the opportunity to pay for everything except room, board, tuition and ,....",l;c~l exnenses. Teens are expected to buy all their clothes, scnool supplies, gas and car insurance, meals out and the like. For this we suggest an allowance of $25 to $50 per month. In addition to the allowance, a child should have the chance to earn money around the home. Every child should do some chores as part of his family obligation. However, certain other

"One to one contact is the most important method of evangelization and the one used by Jesus," declared Miss Irene Murphy, vice-president of Benziger Brothers publishers, a speaker at the recent diocesan education convention. "We must teach Jesus, crucified, glorious and risen," she said, "but our methods must be adapted to the age, culture and aptitude of those being taught." As an example of the media culture to which youngsters are exposed and of which catechetical teachers must be aware, she cited the serious query of a second grader: "What's the difference between Jesus and the Six Million Dollar Man?" and a fourth grader's description of the Ascension: "All Jesus probably did was beam off the way they do in Star Trek." Religion cannot be a hodgepodge, she warned. "If it is, we

chores, such as babysitting and extra household tasks, deserve extra wages. This system gives a child the chance to supplement his allowance if he has some special purchase in mind. What about special grants? "Dad, can J: have $2 for a movie?" "Mom, would' you pay the extra for my new outfit?" Generally, we recommend a "no" answer to these requests. We can appreciate an unusual situation where a grant makes sense. But if the child perceives that he can sometimes get a grant, then the allowances-and-wages system won't work. The child must learn that he gets some money and, if needed, he can work for more. The older he gets, the more responsibility (and the more money) he must have. Parents must help him by giving him unrestricted use of a certain amount of money and, at the same time, not bailing him out with special grants when he has overspent. This combination of parental generosity and parental firmness is a key way to teach our children independence in money management. Reader questions on family living and child care are invited.

shouldn't wonder why in eighth grade our kids don't have it all together." She emphasized that evangelization is "not just preaching and teaching" but that it must touch life and that the teacher must give both verbal and unspoken witness to the truths he or she is proclaiming. "We must be aware of words themselves," she pointed out. "We used to tell those confirmed that they were 'soldiers of Christ.' Now we call them 'witnesses.' Penance has become 'reconciliation' and Mass is just as often called the 'Eucharistic liturgy:. "As for explaining Mass in terms of a meal," -she cautioned, "some youngsters hardly know what a meal is, in terms of a friendly gathering. One child said, 'A meal is at Thanksgiving or Christmas, when everyone eats the same thing at the same time.' "

Miss Murphy said that catechists must "train for freedom with responsibility. We must give youngsters guidelines for gut issues such as sexuality and drugs. We must dare to teach our students to use the gospel as their base for risk-taking and decision making. "Teach the cross," she summed up. "Whether we 'like it or not, suffering will come - we must teach our children how to cope with it. "And get to know your children as individuals," she added. "It's astonishing how youngsters can pass through a CCD program without anyone really knowing them." "Teach in hope, despite difficulties," concluded Miss Murphy. "Look at the trouble Jesus had with the 12 apostles. It was not until later that they understood what he'd been telling them. That's what we're working for - the later!"

Father Weigel

II Humane Rabbi

By Father John J. Castelot

By Rabbi James Rudin

"The human rights rabbi of America" was how Sacred Heart University of Bridgeport. Conn., described him when it conferred an honorary doctorate on Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, a leader in promoting improved relationships between Christians and Jews in America. As a colleague and friend for the past 10 years of this dynamic, creative 52-year-old Conservative rabbi-scholar-activist, I know that this characterization meant more to him than most of the many honors he has received. The tribute expresses succinctly the remarkable synthesis that Rabbi Tanenbaum has achieved in a quarter century of dedicated service. He is a committed Jew vitally concerned with the security and welfare of Jews throughout the Vlorld; and at the same time a compassionate humanitarian who has responded with deeds as well as with eloquent words to the plight and suffering of black Christians in Uganda, Biafra, the Sudan, South Africa and Rhodesia; to the Vietnamese boat people; to Catholics and Protestants in Ireland; to Catholics as well as Jews aflicted by terrorism in Argentina and in oth.~r Latin American countries; to Moslems in Bangladesh; to' Greek Orthodox in Cyprus and to Christians and Moslems in Lebanon. In every such crisis situation, Rabbi Tanenbaum was among the first Jewish leaders to help organize interreligious programs to defend human rights and provide food, clothing and shelter for millions of deprived peoples. "We Jews have learned one permanent, universal lesson from the Nazi trauma," Rabbi Tanenbaum declares over and over in the hundreds of speeches he makes annually. "And that lesson is a paraphrase from the Book of Leviticus - 'You shall not stand idly by while the blood of your brothers and sisters cries out to you from the earth.' " He adds: "Without any messianic fantasies. I am simply determined to do whatever I can in concert with my Christian Tum to Page Thirteen

Elcumenism: Reconciling the Churches By Father Alfred McBride Of all the social forces that can drive deep divisions among peoples, rel:.gion sometimes seems to be the most successful. Religions, dedicated to the ideals of love and fellowship, also seem capable of fostering the painful opposites. The Reformation d~ove so profound a wedge among Christians that it h:ls takEn four eenturies to get over it. True, divisions stilI abide, but the emotional hostm:y tha~ supported them has mercifully died down. Ecumenism -the work of reconciling diverse churches - began with the Protestants. S';arting with the World Missionary Conference in Edingurgh in 1910, followed by many ether galherings, the movemen1 established a World Council of Churches in Amsterdam in 1948.

RABBI TANENBAUM

Cardinal Mercier, cooperating with Lord Halifax, instituted Anglican-Catholic conversations in Belgium in the 1920s. In the United States, the Graymoor Friars (formerly an Episcopalian group) worked to bridge the gap between Protestants and Catholics. Not until Vatican Council II, however, did the involvement of the Catholic Church in ecumenical efforts take a serious tum. The most dramatic outcome of this in symbolic terms was the visit of Pope Paul VI to the World Council of Churches headquarters in Geneva .in 1971, where he recited the Lord's Prayer with its leaders. The key concept in the new attitude between Catholics and Protestants is dialogue. Catholics and Protestants discuss their mutual differences in a spirit of love, acceptance and

A few years after the death of Jesuit Father Gustave Weigel on Jan. 3, 1964, some commemorative essays were published in a booklet, "One of a Kind." A more apt title could hardly have been chosen, for he was one of a kind in so many ways; a unique personaHty to begin with and a heroic pioneer in the Catholic ecumenical endeavor. Born in Buffalo, N.Y., in 1906, he inherited from his parents, children of Alsatian immigrants, the dialect of his grandparents and certain characteristics, including simple, unfeigned directness and dogged industriousness. At Canisius High School he came to admire the Jesuits and when he graduated at 16 he entered the Jesuit novitiate. He studied philosophy and theology at Woodstock, Md. where he formed a deep friendship with John Courtney Murray, a fellow student who, like Vatican's Secretari~t fo~ Pro- him, was to leave an indelible Decree on Ecumemsm Issued impress on the 20th century church.

not new legislation, but merely a combination of quotations from the Pentateuch (Deut. 6, 4 and Lev. 19, 18). In America, the theological heritage we share has been strengthened by common experiences and interests. Catholics and Jews especially, but also many Protestants, came here as immigrants, were clustered into the same urban ghettoes and were equally exploited. We have similar views on the importance of the family and Turn to Page Thirteen

FATHER WEIGEL

Father, Weigel Continued from Page Twelve in 1948 he received word from Rome that he was not to return to Santiago. For a while he was lost, crestfallen, homesick; only his strong sense of obedience saw him through. Then John Murray made a request that was to give him direction and distinction for the rest of his life. The Jesuit periodical, Theological Studies, needed an expert in Protestant theology. at that time a noman's land for Catholic theologians. Gus, as nearly everyone called him, rose to the challenge, and two articles he wrote in 1950 attracted the attention of Protestant leaders and started him on a career of ecumenical acivity which was to bear rich fruit. In 1953 he went to Germany on a cultural exchange mission for the State Department and lectured at Tubingen and Mainz. Then cancer struck and almost finished him before it was arrested. Recovery was slow. In 1956 he resumed teaching, writing, lecturing, advising; it was Chile all over again. But Rome still lay ahead. When Vatican Council II opened, he was named interpreter for the Protestant and other non-Catholic observers. His devotion to them was nothing short of heroic. A typical day began with Mass at 6, then breakfast and a brief-

Share Problems Continued from Pa~e Twelve a similar sense of being part of a larger religious community. Today, even our voting, educational and occupational patterns reveal remarkable similarities due to our histories as ethnics. Catholic and Jewish immigrants together bore the brunt of American nativist movements and were excluded from the same clubs. Catholics and Jews face a common problem because of the assimilation tendencies of a dominant culture. Each community in its own way has striven to hold together the essence of its heritage while undergoing the process of Americanization. And we find our religious structures showing the same kinds of internal and external strains. Perhaps by sharing more deeply our common values and insights, we can learn from each other lessons that will make us stronger in our own traditions.

ing of the observers of the council agenda for the day. At the session he furnished a simultaneous translation of and often humorous commentary on the proceedings on the floor. In the afternoon he was the star of the daily press conference for American newsmen. Then there were late afternoon and evening business meetings. And these were just his regular appointments. Is it any wonder that when he returned to the United States he was completely drained? He was scheduled to do a television program in New York on Jan. 3, 1964. He never made it. A massive cardiac attack stilled that great heart which had room for everyone, from God to Luigi, the Italian boy whom he was teaching English during the council.

Humane Rabbi Continued from Page Twelve brothers and sisters and other people of goodwill to try to lessen the quotient of human suffering in the world." Those passionately-held biblical and democratic convictions which Rabbi Tanenbaum learned as a child attending an orthodox Jewish school in Baltimore, led him to what he regards as three major turning points in his career: - His presence as the only rabbi at Vatican Council II, where advised council Fathers who drafted the declaration which condemned anti-Semitism and called for "fraternal dialogue" between Catholics and Jews; His participation as the Jewish representative on a factfinding mission in Southeast Asia, which has' contributed to a more liberal Ameiican immigration policy for "boat people" and other Indo-Chinese refugees. - His role as Jewish consultant to NBC-TV's productions of "Jesus of Nazareth." and of "The Holocaust," which offered hundreds of millions of people new insights into Jewish- Christian relations. After 25 years of service through lectures, writings and radio and television broadcasts, Rabbi Tanenbaum's contribution to ecumenism was recognized last January by religion editors of U.S. newspapers, who voted him one of the 10 most respected and influential religious leaders in America.

Reconciling The Churches Continued from Page Twelve made present through sacrament. Meetings with Lutherans and Reformed Christians have come to much the same conclusion. On the role of the pope, the American Lutheran and Catholic dialogue in 1974 and a similar one with Anglicans in 1975 agreed that the New Testament shows that Peter appears to bear a responsibility for the whole church. They also acknowledged that the bishop of Rome for many centuries clearly succeeded to this Petrine ministry. The Protestant scholars involved admit the value of a papal primacy, but seem far from ready to accept it under its present form.

Some Protestants still argue that apostolic succession means more a fidelity to the ideals and faith of the apostles than to a specific ceremony of laying on of hands. Most Catholics in the dialogue disagree, as of course does the official church position. The Catholic defenders of apostolics succession claim that it is an essential safeguard for the continuity and unity of t)le church. Progress on this issue is a long way from solution. What is more impressive is the fact that in 15 years, a friendly dialogue that began and progressed with comparative speed. We are sowing seeds of unity and love. God grant that our descendants will reap the one church for which we long.

Running On Empty Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many s1inuner fields In 65 I was 17 and running one-o-one I don't know where I'm running now, I'm running now, I'm just running on Running on - running on empty Running on • running blind Running on - running into the sun, but I'm running behind. Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive Trying not to confuse it with what you do to sUrvive In 69 was 21 and I called the road my own I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels I look around for the friends that I used to tum to to pull me through Looking into their eyes I see them running too Honey you really tempt me You know the way you look so kind I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find Running into the sun but I'm running behind Written and sung by Jackson Browne; (c) 1977, Swallow Turn Music About a year ago, a friend introduced me to Jackson Browne's music. Since then, I have passed on the word to several other friends. However, with the success of this spring concert tour and new album, his name no longer needs introduction. "Running On Empty" is rich in content, presenting several ideas for reflection. The story is all too common relating how changes in the singer's life have brought little stability and he seems to be "running" through life but finding little meaning. Consequently, he keeps on "running" though he "doesn't even know what he's hoping to find." The song speaks about "emptiness." This can be a sign of transition and change what we experience as meaningful at one stage may hold little meaning at another. "In 69 I was 21 and I called the road my own" implies that the singer had all the answers he needed and thus felt in control. Yet we can have all the answers we thought we needed, but then we discover that the questions have changed. There are several ways to face emptiness. One is to "keep on running" and hope it will fade away. A better alternative is to be unafraid, face it, and look at its causes. We need to ask, "What brings real meaning into our lives?" We need to realize that the answer does not always come spontaneously, and that it may change as do our lives. Emptiness can be a catalyst for growth if we let it move us beyond the feeling level to action. Running away will never bring us to personal growth. The song speaks about the value of reflection in our lives. Indeed, we can experience much "running around." We never quite get "caught up" with all the things we would like to do. Yet the importance of life lies not in speed but in quality. We need to choose those opportunities that more fulfill our needs. This requires space and time to move beyond hectic activity to inner quietness. Finding such a time in each day can keep us in tune with feelings within us. Within our personal centers of quiet stillness, we encounter both our real selves and the loving God who fills us with life.

die for it if necessary. Certainly that is the complete story of His life and that of every martyr from Socrates to Martin Luther King, Jr. Do our lives bear the fruits of Christ's death, of other people's deaths? Are we carrying on the struggle against evil? We are the richest nation in the world, yet w~ have to lock up more people per capita than any other industrialized nation. Is it any wonder that the suicide rate is so high among youth? ·Perhaps those poor, lonely

souls who take their lives are more religious than we think. Perhaps they feel that the best is ahead, waiting for them in another world, another life. Bach writes one of his most beautiful arias, "Come, sweet death." And a black slave writes, "I looked over Jordan and what did I see? A band of angels, coming after me, coming for to carry me home." Or "My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better."

The Massachusetts Secondary Schools Principals' Association is in unanimous opposition to the proposal that would establish national schoolboy tournaments in tennis, golf and track

beginning in the summer of next year. Massachusetts officials fear that individual sports tournaments would lead to tourneys in the team sports such as basketball, football and baseball. While sentiment for individual tourneys is favorable in some areas, there is considerable opposition in others and the question seems certain to generate considerable debate and controversy at Salt Lake City.
