"This year," said the Ordinary, "we have a unique opportunity to grow in the love of the Lord as we prepare as a nation for the 41st International Eucharistic Congress. I would ask therefore, that, where possible, Saturday, June 19th and Sunday, June 20th be days of prayer focusing on the sacrament of the Eucharist.

REV. MR. ROBERT J. POWELL
There has just been released a French-language document of the Pontifical BiblicaI Commission which met in plenary session in April on the general research topic of Scripture and the place of women in Church and society. Of special interest was a biblical inquiry whether or not women can be ordained to the priestly ministry. The conclusion arrived at states: "It does not seem that the New Testament by itself alone will permit us to settle in a clear way and once and for all the problem of the possible accession of women to the presbyterate."

so frail she has to ration her energy in order to rest half of each day. The rest of the time she is active as a sparrow, rushing from outdoor platforms, to radio studios, to splendid receptions and dinners with priests in local Catholic rectories. "Oh, my dear archbishop," she exclaimed, bussing the shy Arch~ bishop James F. Carney of Vancouver when she met him at a Water Day celebration. "Sock it to them:' she advised a cub reporter bewildered by UN politics and the cliches of dull speeches. And to an audience jammed into a 10cal ballroom for a nuclear debate, she said: "We industrialized nations are 'arrogant bastards in many ways. , We sho~.1ldsay ~o underdeveloped countries, 'Don't follow. our' example."" , Asked. bow she. is路 feeling, she tosses back her head and .laughs, "Oh, I'm half dead." But if she has to clasp a helping armoften that of a young bluejeaned environmentalist-to get ,up a platform, her eyes are bright, her retort is quick and she punches her points. home when she gets to the microphone. Her views on population control are not always popular. One response she frequently. hears from people in the developed world about population growth in poor countries is, she paraphrased, "If they keep on reproducing, why give them more food." That attitude, she said, is "almost obscene," because wherever people have clean water and food, their children live and "the population levels off." Roman Vomitorium Whenever she hears patronizing talks about the developing world, she said, "I feel as though I was in a hot bath or a vomitorium of ancient Rome, hearing people talk about 'those awkward .chaps, the Visigoths,' "You know who won? The Visigoths," Habitat's unusually moral tone, she said, has stemmed'from the fact that "we should be running scared" because when it comes to food supplie's and 路energy, "we are a most fragile society." , , "That's what God is telling us. And if Christians don't pick up the message, who will?" Christian churches, she suggested, ' should form citizens' groups to nag politicians on, say, a target date for clean water for every settlement of the worl~. "A really good ecumenical body could do so much here." "The role of the Church is to ' make its members into responsible citizens as well as saints. You know, I think the ecumenical approach is the one we must' pray for and. hope forand maybe remind the Holy Spirit of this. The scandal of a divided Christendom is one thing we can do something about." At the close of the interview, Lady .Jackson, appearing suddenly fatigued, made a request. "Say a prayer for me--in fact, say several."

CHICAGO (NC) - Cardinal John Cody of Chicago called for a strengthening of the ideal of freedom in the communications media in a message marking World Communications Day. That freedom which took root in America 200 years ago might never have flourished had Americans not made good use of "the power and potential of communicatiqns," the cardinal said. But he warned of the 'danger of a developing passivity in the recipient - the kind of passive response that, had it existed 200 years ago, might never led to a declaration of freedom and basic rights." He pointed to the awesome power of television especially, and urged "that the development in human values keep pace with technical professional know-how." The young, in particular, are vulnerable to becoming dependent upon television, Cardinal Cody warned. He cited figures to underline the point. "By age 18, a child is expected to have logged 20,000 hours of television watching - almost double what he would have spent in a classroom," the cardinal noted.
That child will "have seen a quarter million commercials and memorized a few thousand of them. Between the ages of five and 15, a child would have seen 13,400 human beings destroyed on TV shows, not to mention lesser mayhem and violence," according to a survey, Cardinal Cody said. Better Than Daddy Television is the single greatest influence on the child today, he continued. "In fact, 44 percent of small children in one rerearch project, when asked, 'Which do you like better, TV or Daddy?' quickly chose television." Communicators must recognize the impact they have on the community, the cardinal suggested. Quoting the Vatican's Pastoral 'Instruction on the Media, Public Opinion and Hu-

Continued from Page One The document speaks at length on the place of women in the family in biblical times, women's social condition according to the Bible, and women in the Church according to the Bible. It is expected that groups involved with the question of whether or not women can be ordained to the priesthood will use excerpts from the Commismission document in support of various positions. But the document makes it clear that the Commission members do not regard the New Testament as providing in their view-a clear settlement of the problem.

The Rescuing of ,Father Father's Day would probably have a greater"power to touch the hearts of people if it were not so obvious that its origin seems as much commercial as sentimental. Having' said that, however, one must still rejoice that father is not forgotten and hope that the designated Father's Day will be not merely a "one day" remembering but a promise and a pledge of full-time respect for the fathers of the nation. All too often plays and television and radio shows have depicted the Dagwood type of father-hilarious, to be sure, but actually quite devastating in the image perpetrated upon the so-called head of the family. There are all too many "humorists" who are getting their reputations enhanced (along with their bank accounts) from tearing down values and principles, treading heavily on once-hallowed ground, and ridiculing what should be accorded some measure of decent respect. The laughs are quick to come at such sallies and quips that demolish the once sacred, but the lingering effect is damaging to the fabric of civilization. Let us hope that father might be on the way to rescue from such attacks.

"Abide in Me" Preaching in the fourth century, St. John Chrysostom once said to his people: "The Lord says, I feed you with My own' flesh and make Myself one with you, desiring you all to be of noble blood even in this life; and giving you good hope of the life to come. For if I have given Myself to you here, much more shall I do so in the world to come. I have willed to become your brother. For your sakes I have shared with you flesh and blood. To you I give again this flesh and blood by means of which I became your fellow man." As the faithful of the Diocese of Fall River observe this weekend a Eucharistic time of prayer, they can never forget their dignity as children of the Father and brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. In the Eucharist the Lord Jesus communicates Himself in a real way. Through the giving of His Body and Blood he renews within His brothers and sisters the Christ-Ufe by which the words of the Lord are fulfilled: "Abide in Me and I in you." There must be response to the offering by the Lord of His Body and Blood. There must be the renewing of determination to let Christ live fUlly within oneself and this must be worked out in the thinking and speaking and acting of every day's living. All too often people expect Christ to do all the work within themselves. 'In this regard St. Augustine has said, "God, Who created you without your consent, will not redeem you without your cooperation." Cooperation with Christ in the work of 'salvation means the way of salvation and this in turn means the way of Calvary. There cannot be renewal without effort and sacrifice, without some measure of the pain of self-denial. The words of the Baptist still are the standard for men. "I must decrease while He must increase." Adoration of the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, the reception of His Body and Blood in Holy Communion, the participation in the Sacrifice of the Mass-the active involvement in the spirit of love and sacrifice in the saving actions of Christ doe~ bring about the work of salvation within oneself. It is hoped that this coming Eucharistic Day of Prayer will inflame into still more fervent fires the light of the love of God within the hearts of His children. The Eucharist ac- complishes this through Christ and with Christ and in Christ.

Not in fear of what our peers might think but to take advantage of the truth and life of man. Memories are but renewals of past hopes. They can help us to see the present as it truly exists or remove us from its reality. Each of us who was a member of the class of 1951 has lived ~n exciting and challenging 25 years.

In the meantime, in Britain, after World War II the British people created the National Health Service.

Suggestions for achieving this "special physical and visual environment" are contained in a Bicentennial Liturgical Handbook published by the NCCB committee for the bicentennial. Meanwhile, the administrator of the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration, John W. Warner, urge churches to join schools, fire departments, universities, and individuals on July 4 in a simultaneous, nationwide bell ringing to symbolize the ringing of the Liberty Bell in 1776. Warner said the bell-ringing ceremony will be in conjunction with the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia at 2 p.m.

Augustine's and his assignment at St. Elizabeth's is in the past. We believe that credit should be given where credit is due and Father Connolly has run two parishes in as excellent a fashion as one "could possibly wish for three years. His dedication to both parishes and his dedication to hard work has been an inspiration to all of us, as well as the townspeople, and the spirit of the parishes and the physical improvements to both churches "speak Ilouder" than any words:' we could write. We all wish to thank him for his spiritual leadership during . the past three years and for sharing his talents with us to make St. Elizabeth's church such a vital and attractive spot.

P:ro-Lif1e Parley To H,ear Prelate
Pa·rents' S,essions Offer O~n-Job, Tra·ining In the past, about the only way to learn how to be a parent was on-the-job training. You observed how your parents did it, how other people did it, then got married and started raising children of your own. With the training so formal, it's 'amazing that parents do as well as covers a separate topic: Memories, Listening, Replays, and they do in raising children. Life-Giving. The evening starts It's even more amazing that with a brief talk by the leaderthe Church, which stresses the importance of family life so much, has done so little to raise the standards for parenthood.
By
MARY CARSON We have standards tpat must be met before a child can receive First Communion, and Confirmation. There is lengthy training for Holy Orders. But if you are over 21, you can marry and start a family with the Church'§ blessing, as long as no • one complains when your banns are announced. Our government demands testing . and licensing for innumerable professions, but entrusts the raising of the next generation-this nation's most valuable resource - to any couple who can pass a blood test. If being a parent is so easy, why are so many families troubled? Being a parent is one of the toughest and most important jobs in the worid. Parents need all the help and encouragement they.can get. Someone has finally recognized that ... and. something is being ,done! . To Build Joy Father Chuck Gallagher, S.J. and Father Tom Morrow of Marriage Encounter, plus Lyman Coleman of Serendipity have put together "Evenings for Parents." These are flour sessions designed to help parents become aware of the positive aspects' of their parenthood, to build a joy in being parents. Meeting on the local level with other parents, each session
couple. Each person then fills out a short questionnaire. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers to these questions. They are designed to make parents think about what they do and why. Couples share these answers with each other and then with a small group. The .evening is summarized by the leadercouple. Typical of the thought-provoking questions raised in the sessions are: "What kind of parent do you want to be?" "What happens when the children are center stage?" "How do your memories affect your relationship with your children?" "What would .make you a success as a parent?" There are many such questions, probing deeply into areas we seldom explore. I found them eye-opening, heartening, understanding, and encouraging. . . and I've been a practicing parent for 21 years, with 133 childyears experience. They are discussed in an attractive and readable paperback, Parents Are Lovers, which follows the order of the Evenings for Parents and is available for $2:95 from Marriage Encounter Resource Community, 295 Northern Blvd., Great Neck, NY 11021. If there are no Evenings for Parents in your area, you may want to start them. The book is excellent reading ... but I'm sure you'll get much more by participating in the sessions, getting involved in the discussions. And besides ... involved in the sessions, you will be less likely to skip over questions you don't want to think about. And those questions usually are the ones that offer the most opportunity to learn. Try it! You may change an "Us against Them" attitude into recognizing that your children are the expression of your love ... for your whole lifetime.

TIME FOR SCHOOL: Mrs. Annita Rimmer rings school· bell for members of her class of kindergarteners from St. James-St. John School, New Bedford. Thirty children in colonial attire spent day at One-Room Schoolhouse, Mattapoisett, following old-time school routines.

One-ROlom Schoolhouse Going back over 100 years in dress and school routines, 30 kindergarteners from St. JamesSt. John School, New Bedford, with their teacher, Mrs. Annita Rimmer, and several adult helpers, spent a day at the OneRoom Schoolhouse of Tinkhamtown in Mattapoisett, maintained to give space-age children a taste of Old-style education. Garbed in colonial attire, the New Bedford youngsters followed a typical school day of yesteryear, beginning with prayer and going on to reading from a "hornbook," a sheet of words and letters protected by transparent horn. Oldtime lessons were mostly learned by rote, known as the "blab" method, the kindergarteners discovered. They had no arithmetic to worry about, since' children in early-day Massachusetts didn't begin its study until age 11. However, a dunce stool and dunce hat were used in primary classes and these were on display in a corner of the schoolroom. Lunch ,didn't include bakery goods, potato chips or candy. The day's menu was cornbread, a slice of cheese, an apple and AnLEBORO'S leading Garden Center

Water, Weeding, Fe1eding By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick We have just set out our window boxes for the year. These are fairly easy if a few simple rules are followed. First boxes should have drainage holes drilled in the bottom to drain excess water, or the plants will have wet feet, which can cause problems. I usually place an inch or so of to eat them as the fruits of your own labor makes them extra stone in the bottom of my delightful. This year my fatherwindow boxes to facilitate in-ilaw has planted peas, tomathis drainage; this does little harm because most window box plants are shallow rooted. Because of the drainage, how-
toes and green peppers as well as lettuce to brighten up our summer .table and what he doesn't raise I enjoy buying at
ro~::~~: a~:~d:~mer
Iy MARILYN RODERICK ever, one must he sure that the boxes have enough water. In an elevated and exposed position, they tend to dry out rapidly, so one shou'ld water them almost every day. The extra watering also means that leaching will occur, so liquid fertilizer should be added to the boxes at least once a month. This year I used geraniums, white cascade petunias and rock cress in two boxes facing east, and in one which faces north and gets very little sun, I set out two fuschias, white cascares and a purple petunia, called Malibu. This should give sufficient color in all three boxes, although at this juncture they look rather sparse. Simple Maintenance Maintenance of the boxes is fairly simple. They should be weeded about once every two weeks and old blooms should be cut off in order to keep the plants producing. This is especially true of petunias, which tend to go to seed if faded flowers are allowed to stay on the plants. With reasonable watering, feeding and weeding there is no reason why boxes cannot last in full bloom untH close to the first frost in the late fall. I have tried a number of variations in my window boxes, but Marilyn prefers geraniums to anything else. However, you can use any short and spreading plant as the basis for the window garden. Obviously, whatever is used must be placed where it receives the sun it requires, but other than that the choice is unlimited. I have used dwarf marigolds and zinnias with petunias; hanging begonias are lovely; nothing is nicer than fuchsia. I have to admit that I have seen few combinations of plants in window boxes that I have not enjoyed, and the busier the better. In the Kitchen Last evening we enjoyed strawberries from the garden for dessert and tonight we tasted the first lettuce of the season. A small vegetable garden is a lot of work, but a great joy when you can pick and eat in the same day. As I have often mentioned in this column, many veg~tables are well worth waiting for and
are a time of good eating and we are very foolish if we don't take advantage of the many fruits and vegetables that wiH arrive fresh on the stands in our area. New England is a lovely place to live but never as marveous as in the warm months when the beauty of her landscape is equaled only by the beauty of her bounty. While prices of this bounty, clams, lobsters, swordfish, vegetables and fruit have skyrocketed, just the fact that we can buy them fresh is a real plus, despite rising costs. Just think of the inland areas that have to pay the price whHe not really getting the fresh item. I adore seasonal books, especially seasonal cookbooks and if I ever do discipline myself enougH to sit down and write my dreamed-of cookbook, that is the format I plan to use. Ho\yever, I do think that there will be a dearth of summer recipes because our seasonal vegetables are so good by themselves that they need very little in the way of dressing up, just correct cooking methods, a very small amount of seasoning and food fit for royalty is in your table. Tired of the same old menu, steak, hamburg, chicken, a roast now and then? If you're fortunate enough to come across some nice veal cutlets, this recipe is perfect for the hot days ahead. First of all,' it's easy, secondly, it's quick and most important of all, it's delicious. Veal in Lemon and Wine Sauce 1 ¥:! pounds veal cutlets, or rounds about Ys inch thick. ¥:! cup flour 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon salt ¥:! cup dry white wine juice of ¥:! lemon sprigs of parsley 1) Pound veal slices with a meat pounder (or something similar) Flour by pressing in the flour and gently patting to get as much as possible to stick.

Na,tural F.a,mily Pla,n.ning Brea,kthroug,h Rep,orted By Dan Mothersill TORONTO (NC)-Medical researchers at St. Michael's Hospital here say they are on the verge of a major breakthrough which could produce a safe, effective and Church-endorsed method of fertility control. The device-tentatively called the electronic speculum-is now being tested on women after successful animal experiments. "It showed consistent results on sheep," said Dr. AI Woolever, the inventor. It has been tested po~t-menopousal women on treated with estrogen, "and we . are very optimistic. it will work on young, cycling females," he added. Dr. Woolever, chief of obstetrics and gynecology at St. Michael's, says the device's effectiveness could he determined in as little as two months. The electronic speculum is based on the principle tliat prior to ovulation, the body produces estrogen which causes increased blood flow in the reproductive organs. The developers hope that by precisely pinpointing ovulation the device will permit couples using fertility control to abstain from sexual relations for only about a four-day period instead of the eight or 10 days required by methods already in use.

Benoit, designer of the experimental model, said that once the device is proved effective, . "the next challenge will arise in miniaturization to a size readily acceptable to women for home use." A rash of recent reports about side effects from oral contraceptives has prompted an increase in public demand for reliable natural birth control methods. But Dr. Woolever cautioned that his electronic speculum would not be the final answer in itself. Instead, he termed it a "useful adjunct" to natural family planning methods buHt around selfobservable bodily changes at ovulation.
Mrs. Richard M. Paulson, Immaculate Conception parish, Taunton, director of the Boston Province of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW), an~ Mrs. Michael J. McMahon, St. Mary's Cathedral parish, Fal1 River, national chairman of the iNCCW Organization Services Commission, were among NCCW Executive Committee members attending a meeting in ,Bethesda, Md. earlier this month. The women endorsed the sentiments of the H8!bitat~UN Conference on Human Settlements held this month in Vancouv~r, British Columbia, sending a statement to that effect to the U. S. delegation at the conference. They added the reminder that "in the daily practice of our lives, one of the real ways of assuring the humaneness of our settlements is by the action and daily monitoring of legislation." Listed as current issues of concern to Catholic women were the U. S. food stamp' program, the Full Employment Act, national hell'1th insurance, abortion legislation, foreign aid nutrition programs, tax and Social Security reform, revenue sharing, child and family services, problems with illegal aliens and possible establishment of a federal Department of Women's Affairs. Committee members also discussed plans for the general N.CCW assembly to be held in August in Philadelphia concurrently with the International Eucharistic Congress. NCCW will- participate in a congress program on Women and the Eucharist.

Racketeers is a strong word, but in my opinion, that's exactly what these 'people are. Their technique is simple-but also tricky. They walk up to an unsuspecting passenger, deftly pin a pink carnation to his lapel, and then practically demand a "donation" for the support of their religiou!, movement. . The Washington Star, in a recent roundup on their shenanigans, quotes one experienced observer as saying that they score about 90 percent of the time. That squares with my own experience.

Con Game The Washington Star reports that airport officials are almost unanimously of the opinion that what these well-scrubbed Hare Krishnas are doing is a con game and that it ought to be prohibited. However, according to the Star, lawyers for the group have argued successfully all the way to the Supreme Court that its aggressive fund-raising activities in airports and other public places are protected by the Constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and religion. Although, the courts, for the time being, don't see' it this way, airport authorities still have the power to curtail, if not to eliminate the Hare Krishna racket. They can do this by perfectly legal means. For example, they can inform the public, by announcements over the airport loud-speaker system, that the flowers being forced on travelers by the Hare Krishnas do not require a donation. Some aidports have begun to do this unoffiCially. I hope they will keep it up and that, sooner or later, even more effective means can be found, within the limits now permitted by the courts, to curtail, if not to eliminate what can only be described as a bloody nuisance and a clear abuse of religious freedom.

Jesuit Theologian Attacks Christian 'Maximalists'
Urge Irish Ecumenism DUBLIN (NC}-Ireland's bishops encouraged Irish Catholics to play a fuB part in ecumenical efforts in the Directory on Ecumenism they issued here last week. . The directory is marked by an awareness of the' implications of ecumenism for Northern Ireland, where Prote-stants and Catholics have long been battling each other, and by an emphasis on the foundation of ecumenism in individual spiritual development. Quoting the statement in the Vatican Council II Decree on
The distinguished Jesuit theologian John Navone .has launched a devastating attack on the style of social commitment practiced by many American Catholics in the current issue of "The Homiletic and Pastoral Review." They include particularly the ever assumes that he and his felpresent eager beavers of the he low ideologues have no need for Center for Concern-though self-transformation; that world Navone himself discreetly problems have not been solved mentions no one. He contrasts "Christian minimalism" with "ideological maximlll1ism." The "Christian Min-
Iy REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY
imalist" demands that the good which can and should be done must be done in the name of charity and justice. The "Christian Maximalist" is concerned with panaceas for world problems. Navone notes tartly, "Inasmuch as no one is capable of resolving world problems, (the Maximalist) is not really bound by any pressing moral obligation." Hence (and Father Navone is too gentle to say it explicitly) the MaximaJIist discharges his obligations by going to meetings and issuing statements. Undemanding Compassion
The Maximalist is filled with compassion for suffering and oppressed people. But I his. com· passion is proportionate to the remoteness of the beneficiary and therefore comfortably un· demanding. He is preoccupied with remote problems beyond his experience though not beyond his rhetoric. He knows what is good for India, for example, even if he can't work out anything for his own high school. He knows what is good for Latin America even if he has nothing to offer his own neighborhood. He constructs blueprints for the new interna· tional economic order but he is hell to live with. And then, in what can only be interpreted as an attack not only on the Center for Concern but on much of the wolildwide social action style of the Jesuits and many other Catholics, Navone describes the Maximalist at work: "The Maximalist, basically an ideologue, tends to fasten on an ideology, a master-plan, as a panacea. Like most ideologues,
because of aM the people in the world who do not share his ideology. "Maximalists, .consequently, tend to approach world-transformation by publishing endless documents consisting of their ideology's basic commonplaces, platitudes, and banalities. They assume that the volume of such documentation and the repetition of their ideological commonplaces are the best means for transforming the world. In fact, new documents consist largely of quotations from previous documents, so that there is seldom any genuinely new thought in the new document." The Christian Minimalist is not unaware of the big pictures, but "he does not allow such awareness to blind him to the concrete needs· of his -local community, needs which may seem trivial to the MaximaJist ..." Like the Good Samaritan, the Minimalist actually does something of value for the desperate individual right in front of him. But since his approach is geared to action and not statement-issuing, his concern is about the here and now - the family, the neighborhoods, the ordinary people. .Structures doubtless must be reformed, though this will not usuaJIly happen by drawing up a great master plan, but people must also be served. Major Assault The MaximaIists often exude contempt and hostility toward working-class Catholic families, accusing them of indifference to world solutions for world problems, of indifference to the poverty of the Third World, of ignorance with regard to the Big Picture, the "world crisis." (He might have added that such charges are not only unfounded but fly in the face of contrary empirical evidence about the attitudes of ordinary. Catholics.) The brief four-page article is a major assault from within the Jesuit community by one of its leading lights. Navone confronts the tum away from both professiona'l competence and from direct service to the ordinary laity that Jesuit and other Catholic social action has taken during the last decade.

K~OW YOUR FAITH Evangelists as Theologians
BY FATHER JOHN J. CASTELOT The Evangelists did more than simply record the already existing traditions of the Christian communities. They did this, of course, but each brought his own viewpoint, his own theology. Even the Gospel of Mark, whIch seems like such a simple telling of the story, turns out, upon analysis, to be profoundly theological. Mark set out to present the earthly career of Jesus as a revelation: a revelation of the mystery of the Messiah and a revelation of the mystery of the Son of Man. These form the two big divisions of his Gospel. Three sections are discernible in the first division, each of them ending with a remark about the reactions of different groups to Jesus' self-revelation. In 3,6 the Pharisees decide He should he put to death; in 6,1-6 we see how His own relatives misunderstood Him; and in 8, 27-30 Peter acknowledges that He is the Messiah. This. confession of Peter's marks the climax and conclusion of the first upart of the Gospel. It is presented as a turning point in Jesus' ministry, which now takes a new turn: in the direction of Jerusalem.
In the second part of the Gospel Jesus reveals an even more profound mystery, that of the Son of Man. It is a sort of counterbalance to the revelation of the Messiah, for the Apostles shared to a great extent their compatriots' erroneous views about the Person and work of the Messiah. Jesus had to correct these notions. This He did by revealing Himself as the Son of Man, a mysterious title which had certain messianic connotations in the Jewish literature of the day, but which, of its very nature, stressed the humility of the Messiah. . " He is indeed the glorious Messiah, but His path to glory wiN be the way of the cross. This was not an easy concept for the disciples to grasp, and Mark calls attention over and over again to their lack ,of understanding. It may well be that the community for which Mark wrote needed the reminder of the real nature of the Christian life. Basking now in the light of the resurrection, they may have overemphasized a sort of theology of glory. This could have been really dangerous, for persecutions were sure to come, had already come, and they Turn to Page Thirt.een
EPluribus Unum "Whatever happened to the Church we knew back in the 50s?" an old friend asked me recently. "I remember going to Quebec one summer. Even though I didn't know much French, the Mass was in Latin and everything was just like back in St. Louis."
By FR. CARL J. PFEIFER, S.J. His' question and our shared recollections recalled a Catholic Church that was very much the same everywhere. I, too, studied in French Canada and in Austria. There were a few small differences-the French Canadian priests wore long coats and broad-brimmed hats. But the Mass was the same. The theological language heard in sermons or found in the catechisms was the same. The one reality about the Roman Catholic Church that stood out when we grew up was its uniformity. There was a uniformity of doctrine, moral convictions, liturgical worship, and life-style. Every Catholic knew what it meant to be Catholic. Any moderately interested nonCatholic could quite easily learn the basic characteristics of CathI
olic doctrine, morality, worship and life-style. That is no longer true. For better or worse, the uniform pattern of Catholic teaching and living has disappeared. A visit to any two parishes in any town or city dramatically confirms the lack of uniformity. The Roman Catholic Church today is marked ,by wide differences. In place of uniformity there exists a pluralism. Even present catechetical efforts to clarify the Church's "basic teachings" highlight the pluralism rather than reveal uniformity. Four or five "catechisms" for adults have appeared in the United States within the past few years. Each presents a summary of Catholic teaching. Each is presumably orthodox. But each is different. Not in the sense of heresy. The affirmations of the Creed are present in them all. They all teach Jesus' law of love and Moses' 10 commandments. They all teach seven sacraments. But they contain differences -of emphasis, of approach, of language, and at times of practical conclusions. There are differing theologies underlying them. These attempts at putting together for adults definitive explanations of Catholic teaching and practice reveal the same kinds of differences found for a decade in religion textbooks for chiIdren a·nd youth. They give evidence that the time is not ripe for one catechism for aM Turn to Page Thirteen
Parenting BY FATHER JOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN "Father, we are just a group of lonely people who get together for support." Those words came from the lips of a woman in her 40s, divorced, mother of several and member of the One-Parent Family Council in .a neighboring city. I spoke to some 50 persons of that group gathered for their monthly meeting in the' dining room of a local hotel. In operation since 1974, the Council One-Parent Family seeks to provide "a gathering for area parents who, because of death, divorce, separation or desertion, are forced to depend solely on their own resources to maintain a good life for themselves and their children. The council hopes to aid in this endeavor by helping the parent to successfully adjust to his new situation, and exploring the needs of child and parent in the ~>ne-parent household." This is not a Catholic group, although many present were in practice or allegiance Roman Catholic. But the organization, or one simiIar to it, certainly deserves the Church's stllong encouragement. Monthly meetings include' a brief business session, a speaker or special program, followed by an "After-Glow" of dancing/socializing. Additionally, the officers attempt to plan one social activity each weekend. Sundays seem to present one of the most painful periods for the woman in a one-parent situation. The ex-husband and father normally enjoys visitation rights on that day leaving her home-alone and lonely. Going to movies, concerts, plays, lectures and other events for entertainment is another difficult time. Instead of renewing the one-parent's spirits, those occasions often depress them. "Do you realize how hard it is to go out alone?" The hurt in my questioner's voice and eyes was all too obvious. The council's activities ease both situations. Sunday gettogethets help fill that day's

emptiness; attending entertainments as a group eliminates the unpleasant awkwardness of "going alone." A discouraged single woman whose marriage has been annulled by a Church matrimonial court process wrote the o.ther day in deep distress: "Isn't there some group I can join to help me' meet others? Some place besides a bar, in which I can become acquainted with others in my situation?" More One-Parent Councils with heavy Church support and active involvement by Catholic parishes might well provide an answer to her search. Parenting Programs Those who are still happily together could nevertheless benefit from programs on parenting. ,Providing such informational

Evangelists as Theologians Continued from Page Twelve would have been doubly difficult to bear for Christians who f:argot that their way to glory, like that of the risen Lord, had to be the way of the cross. This is the key idea in the second part of Mark's Gospel; the revelation of the Son of Man. Very cleverly Jesus fuses with this messianic title elements borrowed from the Suffering Servant prophecies of Isaiah, and the first section of this part of the Gospel contains three predictions of the passion and also of the fate of the disciples. To underscore their lack of comprehension, Mark - shows Peter recoiling from the very
Parenting Continued from Page Twelve Seated at round tables, they sip wine, beer or soft drinks, munch on cheese and crackem, converse by candlelight and Usten to two approximately halfhour presentations. . This year our committee invited a local pediatrician as featured speaker. His topic was broad: "The development of children at various age levels and their parents' expectations during those periods." After. a lecture on overall ooncerns involving youngsters from six months to 16 years, the audience submitted written questions. His response to those inquiries formed the second presentation. A series of TELESPOTS concluded the 8:30-11:30 evening. As a sheltered celibate, I certainly learned much from the doctors's remarks about what it means to be a father or mother. Those couples, judging from the positive response, more importantly, felt better prepared for future parenting and very much reassured about the job they have already done.

idea that Jesus should sufferPeter, who had just professed that Jesus was the Messiah. The second section (11,1·13,37) contains Jesus" judgment in Jerusalem, ending with the prediction of its destruction, and the third is the account of the passion, death, and resurrection. Majestic Drama Matthew'S approach is quite different. From one point of view, his Gospel could be described as a majestic drama in two acts, complete with prologue and epilogue. The plot would be as follows. Emmanuel (God with us), the Messiah promised by the prophets, came to earth to fulfill the expectations of His people. He asked them to accept Him and His teachings, to give themse~ves to Him completely. But He announced, too, that He was taking the Gentiles into His Kingdom. Thus the role of the official Judaism of that time as the instrument of universal salvation would be' magnificently accomplis. But they would have noth· ing to do with either Him or the Gentiles. The two acts in which this drama of salvation is played out comprise chapters 3-13 and 14-28. Chapters 1-2, the Infancy Gospel, and 28-1-20, the resurrection account, function as prologue and epilogue. It would require a detailed commentary to do justice to the consummate artistry with which the author develops the plot. Especi!ll1ly effective is his use of the number five. Just by way of example, his Infancy Gospel is structured around five Old Testament citations. And the body of the Gospel is made up of five 'booklets, each -consisting of a narrative and a long synthetic sermon which develop some aspect of the central theme of the kingdom. This five-fold arrangement was a 'deliberate imitation of the five books of the Law of Moses. Here, now, that Law finds its perfect realization in the Gospel. It seems quite clear that Matthew was written for Jewish Christians, accused by their compatriots of having abandoned the true religion of their fathers. Matthew reassures them that far from having abandoned it they have embraced it in its perfection. Borrowing the terminology of Father David Stanley, we may describe the five booklets as follows: The first (3,1-7,29) describes the foundation of the Kingdom. The second (8, 1-11, 1) depicts the dynamic of the Kingdom. The third (11,2-13,53) has as theme the Kingdom as a mystery. The fourth (13,54-19, 1) deals with the structure arid conduct of the Christian community, which, however, is not to be identified purely and simply with the Kingdom. The fifth (19,2-26,2) comes to a climax in Jesus' prophecy of the fall of Jerusalem, an event which will mark a clear recognition, of the Church as a vital organism unmistakably independent of Judaism. Obviously this ordering of material is more logical and theological than chronological and geographical, but it has a majesty all its own.

Today the Church faces the challenging task of forging a deeper unity while respecting legitimate differences. The largely "cultural" uniformity can be replaced by a more profoundly spiritual unity. To achieve such creative unity, respecting the gifts of each within the community, Jesus and His Father give us the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of unity. Moments of nostalgic recollection with friends are good. The good old days of uniformity had their good points. But they exist no more. Whether with tears or shouts of joy at their passing, we are all called to work together toward a new unity, deeper and richer because of our legitimate differences.

Star-Spangled Week , It was a star-spangled week at St. Stanislaus School,
Fall River, as students in colonial attire held a huge birthday party for the nation, beginning with a Mass at which early settlers of differing ethnic backgrounds were memorialized. Daily assemblies included folksinging and special presentations on Indians, the First Americans; Founders and Builders of Our Nation; Election of a President; The Meaning of 路America; and Historical Monuments. Early American cooking was explored, with children making johnnycakes, cornbread, taffy and applesauce; while craft projects utilized materials available to colonists and produced plaques, cut-outs, quilts and a Bicentennial flag.

In a world that is becoming increasingly bureaucratized, increasingly anonymous, let us put a face and a name on whatever and whom- , ever we encounter. Despite all I see around me I remain optimistic and hopeful. I think it's because the great mass of American people is beginning to see what government and what political salvation really are. I am reminded of an old adage that it is only at dusk that Minerva's owl flies, and hopefully it is at the point of our disillusion with the past that we are able to look to a brighter future. I
